Romans:1:4 @ but as regards the holiness of His Spirit was decisively proved by His Resurrection to be the Son of God–I mean concerning Jesus Christ our Lord,
wmth@Romans:1:9 @ I call God to witness –to whom I render priestly and spiritual service by telling the Good News about His Son– how unceasingly I make mention of you in His presence,
wmth@Romans:1:10 @ always in my prayers entreating that now, at length, if such be His will, the way may by some means be made clear for me to come to you.
wmth@Romans:1:12 @ in other words that while I am among you we may be mutually encouraged by one another's faith, yours and mine.
wmth@Romans:1:20 @ For, from the very creation of the world, His invisible perfections –namely His eternal power and divine nature– have been rendered intelligible and clearly visible by His works, so that these men are without excuse.
wmth@Romans:2:7 @ to those on the one hand who, by lives of persistent right-doing, are striving for glory, honour and immortality, the Life of the Ages;
wmth@Romans:2:12 @ For all who have sinned apart from the Law will also perish apart from the Law, and all who have sinned whilst living under the Law, will be judged by the Law.
wmth@Romans:2:14 @ For when Gentiles who have no Law obey by natural instinct the commands of the Law, they, without having a Law, are a Law to themselves;
wmth@Romans:2:16 @ on the day when God will judge the secrets of men's lives by Jesus Christ, as declared in the Good News as I have taught it.
wmth@Romans:2:27 @ although he is a Gentile by birth, if he scrupulously obeys the Law, shall he not sit in judgement upon you who, possessing, as you do, a written Law and circumcision, are yet a Law-breaker?
wmth@Romans:3:24 @ gaining acquittal from guilt by His free unpurchased grace through the deliverance which is found in Christ Jesus.
wmth@Romans:3:31 @ Do we then by means of this faith abolish the Law? No, indeed; we give the Law a firmer footing.
wmth@Romans:4:13 @ Again, the promise that he should inherit the world did not come to Abraham or his posterity conditioned by Law, but by faith-righteousness.
wmth@Romans:4:21 @ and being absolutely certain that whatever promise He is bound by He is able also to make good.
wmth@Romans:6:4 @ Well, then, we by our baptism were buried with Him in death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from among the dead by the Father's glorious power, we also should live an entirely new life.
wmth@Romans:6:5 @ For since we have become one with Him by sharing in His death, we shall also be one with Him by sharing in His resurrection.
wmth@Romans:6:10 @ Death has no longer any power over Him. For by the death which He died He became, once for all, dead in relation to sin; but by the life which He now lives He is alive in relation to God.
wmth@Romans:6:23 @ For the wages paid by Sin are death; but God's free gift is the Life of the Ages bestowed upon us in Christ Jesus our Lord.
wmth@Romans:7:2 @ A wife, for instance, whose husband is living is bound to him by the Law; but if her husband dies the law that bound her to him has now no hold over her.
wmth@Romans:7:5 @ For whilst we were under the thraldom of our earthly natures, sinful passions – made sinful by the Law– were always being aroused to action in our bodily faculties that they might yield fruit to death.
wmth@Romans:7:7 @ What follows? Is the Law itself a sinful thing? No, indeed; on the contrary, unless I had been taught by the Law, I should have known nothing of sin as sin. For instance, I should not have known what covetousness is, if the Law had not repeatedly said,
wmth@Romans:7:8 @ Sin took advantage of this, and by means of the Commandment stirred up within me every kind of coveting; for apart from Law sin would be dead.
wmth@Romans:7:11 @ For sin seized the advantage, and by means of the Commandment it completely deceived me, and also put me to death.
wmth@Romans:7:13 @ Did then a thing which is good become death to me? No, indeed, but sin did; so that through its bringing about death by means of what was good, it might be seen in its true light as sin, in order that by means of the Commandment the unspeakable sinfulness of sin might be plainly shown.
wmth@Romans:8:4 @ in order that in our case the requirements of the Law might be fully met. For our lives are regulated not by our earthly, but by our spiritual natures.
wmth@Romans:8:5 @ For if men are controlled by their earthly natures, they give their minds to earthly things. If they are controlled by their spiritual natures, they give their minds to spiritual things.
wmth@Romans:8:12 @ Therefore, brethren, it is not to our lower natures that we are under obligation that we should live by their rule.
wmth@Romans:8:14 @ For those who are led by God's Spirit are, all of them, God's sons.
wmth@Romans:8:20 @ For the Creation fell into subjection to failure and unreality (not of its own choice, but by the will of Him who so subjected it).
wmth@Romans:9:1 @ I am telling you the truth as a Christian man –it is no falsehood, for my conscience enlightened, as it is, by the Holy Spirit adds its testimony to mine–
wmth@Romans:9:8 @ In other words, it is not the children by natural descent who count as God's children, but the children made such by the promise are regarded as Abraham's posterity.
wmth@Romans:10:5 @ Moses says that he whose actions conform to the righteousness required by the Law shall live by that righteousness.
wmth@Romans:10:7 @ »nor `Who shall go down into the abyss?'« –that is, to bring Christ up again from the grave.
wmth@Romans:10:17 @ And this proves that faith comes from a Message heard, and that the Message comes through its having been spoken by Christ.
wmth@Romans:11:6 @ But if it is in His grace that He has selected them, then His choice is no longer determined by human actions. Otherwise grace would be grace no longer.
wmth@Romans:11:11 @ I ask, however, »Have they stumbled so as to be finally ruined?« No, indeed; but by their lapse salvation has come to the Gentiles in order to arouse the jealousy of the descendants of Israel;
wmth@Romans:11:24 @ and if you were cut from that which by nature is a wild olive and contrary to nature were grafted into the good olive tree, how much more certainly will these natural branches be grafted on their own olive tree?
wmth@Romans:11:36 @ For the universe owes its origin to Him, was created by Him, and has its aim and purpose in Him. To Him be the glory throughout the Ages! Amen.
wmth@Romans:12:1 @ I plead with you therefore, brethren, by the compassionsof God, to present all your faculties to Him as a living and holy sacrifice acceptable to Him. This with you will be an act of reasonable worship.
wmth@Romans:12:2 @ And do not follow the customs of the present age, but be transformed by the entire renewal of your minds, so that you may learn by experience what God's will is–that will which is good and beautiful and perfect.
wmth@Romans:12:21 @ Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome the evil with goodness.
wmth@Romans:13:1 @ Let every individual be obedient to those who rule over him; for no one is a ruler except by God's permission, and our present rulers have had their rank and power assigned to them by Him.
wmth@Romans:13:3 @ For judges and magistrates are to be feared not by right-doers but by wrong-doers. You desire –do you not?– to have no reason to fear your ruler. Well, do the thing that is right, and then he will commend you.
wmth@Romans:14:15 @ If your brother is pained by the food you are eating, your conduct is no longer controlled by love. Take care lest, by the food you eat, you lead to ruin a man for whom Christ died.
wmth@Romans:15:15 @ But I write to you the more boldly –partly as reminding you of what you already know– because of the authority graciously entrusted to me by God,
wmth@Romans:15:18 @ For I will not presume to mention any of the results that Christ has brought about by other agency than mine in securing the obedience of the Gentiles by word or deed,
wmth@Romans:15:24 @ I hope, as soon as ever I extend my travels into Spain, to see you on my way and be helped forward by you on my journey, when I have first enjoyed being with you for a time.
wmth@Romans:15:30 @ But I entreat you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love which His Spirit inspires, to help me by wrestling in prayer to God on my behalf,
wmth@Romans:15:31 @ asking that I may escape unhurt from those in Judaea who are disobedient, and that the service which I am going to Jerusalem to render may be well received by the Church there,
wmth@Romans:16:18 @ For men of that stamp are not bondservants of Christ our Lord, but are slaves to their own appetites; and by their plausible words and their flattery they utterly deceive the minds of the simple.
wmth@Romans:16:26 @ but has now been brought fully to light, and by the command of the God of the Ages has been made known by the writings of the Prophets among all the Gentiles to win them to obedience to the faith–
wmth@1Corinthians:1:9 @ God is ever true to His promises, and it was by Him that you were, one and all, called into fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ, our Lord.
wmth@1Corinthians:1:11 @ For I have been distinctly informed, my brethren, about you by Chloe's people, that there are dissensions among you.
wmth@1Corinthians:1:21 @ For after the world by its wisdom –as God in His wisdom had ordained– had failed to gain the knowledge of God, God was pleased, by the apparent foolishness of the Message which we preach, to save those who accepted it.
wmth@1Corinthians:2:12 @ But we have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which comes forth from God, that we may know the blessings that have been so freely given to us by God.
wmth@1Corinthians:2:15 @ But the spiritual man judges of everything, although he is himself judged by no one.
wmth@1Corinthians:3:15 @ If any one's work is burnt up, he will suffer the loss of it; yet he will himself be rescued, but only, as it were, by passing through the fire.
wmth@1Corinthians:4:6 @ In writing this much, brethren, with special reference to Apollos and myself, I have done so for your sakes, in order to teach you by our example what those words mean, which say, »Nothing beyond what is written!« –so that you may cease to take sides in boastful rivalry, for one teacher against another.
wmth@1Corinthians:6:14 @ and as God by His power raised the Master to life, so He will also raise us up.
wmth@1Corinthians:7:5 @ Do not refuse one another, unless perhaps it is just for a time and by mutual consent, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer and may then associate again; lest the Adversary begin to tempt you because of your deficiency in self-control.
wmth@1Corinthians:7:9 @ If, however, they cannot maintain self-control, by all means let them marry; for marriage is better than the fever of passion.
wmth@1Corinthians:8:3 @ but if any one loves God, that man is known by God.
wmth@1Corinthians:9:14 @ In the same way the Lord also directed those who proclaim the Good News to maintain themselves by the Good News.
wmth@1Corinthians:10:1 @ For I would have you remember, brethren, how our forefathers were all of them sheltered by the cloud, and all got safely through the Red Sea.
wmth@1Corinthians:10:9 @ And do not let us test the Lord too far, as some of them tested Him and were destroyed by the serpents.
wmth@1Corinthians:10:10 @ And do not be discontented, as some of them were, and they were destroyed by the Destroyer.
wmth@1Corinthians:10:11 @ All this kept happening to them with a figurative meaning; but it was put on record by way of admonition to us upon whom the ends of the Ages have come.
wmth@1Corinthians:10:29 @ But now I mean his conscience, not your own. »Why, on what ground,« you may object, »is the question of my liberty of action to be decided by a conscience not my own?
wmth@1Corinthians:11:32 @ But when we are judged by the Lord, chastisement follows, to save us from being condemned along with the world.
wmth@1Corinthians:12:9 @ to a third man, by means of the same Spirit, special faith; to another various gifts of healing, by means of the one Spirit;
wmth@1Corinthians:12:11 @ But these results are all brought about by one and the same Spirit, who bestows His gifts upon each of us in accordance with His own will.
wmth@1Corinthians:12:13 @ For, in fact, in one Spirit all of us –whether we are Jews or Gentiles, slaves or free men– were baptized to form but one body; and we were all nourished by that one Spirit.
wmth@1Corinthians:12:28 @ And by God's appointment there are in the Church–first Apostles, secondly Prophets, thirdly teachers. Then come miraculous powers, and then ability to cure diseases or render loving service, or powers of organization, or varieties of the gift of `tongues.'
wmth@1Corinthians:14:24 @ If, on the other hand, every one is prophesying and an unbeliever or an ungifted man comes in, he is convicted by all and closely examined by all,
wmth@1Corinthians:14:31 @ For you can all prophesy one by one, so that all may learn and all be encouraged:
wmth@1Corinthians:15:5 @ and was seen by Peter, and then by the Twelve.
wmth@1Corinthians:15:6 @ Afterwards He was seen by more than five hundred brethren at once, most of whom are still alive, although some of them have now fallen asleep.
wmth@1Corinthians:15:7 @ Afterwards He was seen by James, and then by all the Apostles.
wmth@1Corinthians:15:10 @ But what I am I am by the grace of God, and His grace bestowed upon me did not prove ineffectual. But I labored more strenuously than all the rest–yet it was not I, but God's grace working with me.
wmth@1Corinthians:15:31 @ I protest, brethren, as surely as I glory over you –which I may justly do in Christ Jesus our Lord– that I die day by day.
wmth@1Corinthians:16:3 @ And when I am with you, whatever brethren you accredit by letter I will send to carry your kind gift to Jerusalem.
wmth@2Corinthians:1:1 @ Paul, an Apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God–and our brother Timothy: To the Church of God in Corinth, with all God's people throughout Greece.
wmth@2Corinthians:1:4 @ He comforts us in our every affliction so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any kind of affliction by means of the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
wmth@2Corinthians:1:16 @ and to pass by way of Corinth into Macedonia. Then my plan was to return from Macedonia to you, and be helped forward by you to Judaea.
wmth@2Corinthians:1:19 @ For Jesus Christ the Son of God –He who was proclaimed among you by us, that is by Silas and Timothy and myself– did not show Himself a waverer between »Yes« and »No.« But it was and always is »Yes« with Him.
wmth@2Corinthians:2:6 @ In the case of such a person the punishment which was inflicted by the majority of you is enough.
wmth@2Corinthians:2:7 @ So that you may now take the opposite course, and forgive him rather and comfort him, for fear he should perhaps be driven to despair by his excess of grief.
wmth@2Corinthians:2:9 @ For in writing to you I have also this object in view–to discover by experience whether you are prepared to be obedient in every respect.
wmth@2Corinthians:2:14 @ But to God be the thanks who in Christ ever heads our triumphal procession, and by our hands waves in every place that sweet incense, the knowledge of Him.
wmth@2Corinthians:2:17 @ We are; for, unlike most teachers, we are not fraudulent hucksters of God's Message; but with transparent motives, as commissioned by God, in God's presence and in communion with Christ, so we speak.
wmth@2Corinthians:3:5 @ not that of ourselves we are competent to decide anything by our own reasonings, but our competency comes from God.
wmth@2Corinthians:3:17 @ Now by »the Lord« is meant the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, freedom is enjoyed.
wmth@2Corinthians:4:2 @ Nay, we have renounced the secrecy which marks a feeling of shame. We practice no cunning tricks, nor do we adulterate God's Message. But by a full clear statement of the truth we strive to commend ourselves in the presence of God to every human conscience.
wmth@2Corinthians:4:16 @ Therefore we are not cowards. Nay, even though our outward man is wasting away, yet our inward man is being renewed day by day.
wmth@2Corinthians:5:1 @ For we know that if this poor tent, our earthly house, is taken down, we have in Heaven a building which God has provided, a house not built by human hands, but eternal.
wmth@2Corinthians:6:4 @ On the contrary, as God's servants, we seek their full approval–by unwearied endurance, by afflictions, by distress, by helplessness;
wmth@2Corinthians:6:5 @ by floggings, by imprisonments; by facing riots, by toil, by sleepless watching, by hunger and thirst;
wmth@2Corinthians:6:6 @ by purity of life, by knowledge, by patience, by kindness, by the Holy Spirit, by sincere love;
wmth@2Corinthians:6:7 @ by the proclamation of the truth, by the power of God; by the weapons of righteousness, wielded in both hands;
wmth@2Corinthians:7:6 @ But He who comforts the depressed –even God– comforted us by the coming of Titus, and not by his coming only,
wmth@2Corinthians:7:7 @ but also by the fact that he had felt comforted on your account, and by the report which he brought of your eager affection, of your grief, and of your jealousy on my behalf, so that I rejoiced more than ever.
wmth@2Corinthians:7:8 @ For if I gave you pain by that letter, I do not regret it, though I did regret it then. I see that that letter, even though for a time it gave you pain, had a salutary effect.
wmth@2Corinthians:7:13 @ For this reason we feel comforted; and –in addition to this our comfort– we have been filled with all the deeper joy at Titus's joy, because his spirit has been set at rest by you all.
wmth@2Corinthians:7:15 @ And his strong and tender affection is all the more drawn out towards you when he recalls to mind the obedience which all of you manifested by the timidity and nervous anxiety with which you welcomed him.
wmth@2Corinthians:8:7 @ Yes, just as you are already very rich in faith, readiness of speech, knowledge, unwearied zeal, and in the love that is in you, implanted by us, see to it that this grace of liberal giving also flourishes in you.
wmth@2Corinthians:8:8 @ I am not saying this by way of command, but to test by the standard of other men's earnestness the genuineness of your love also.
wmth@2Corinthians:8:14 @ but that, by equalization of burdens, your superfluity having in the present emergency supplied their deficiency, their superfluity may in turn be a supply for your deficiency later on, so that there may be equalization of burdens.
wmth@2Corinthians:8:19 @ And more than that, he is the one who was chosen by the vote of the Churches to travel with us, sharing our commission in the administration of this generous gift to promote the Lord's glory and gratify our own strong desire.
wmth@2Corinthians:9:2 @ For I know your earnest willingness, on account of which I habitually boast of you to the Macedonians, pointing out to them that for a whole year you in Greece have been ready; and the greater number of them have been spurred on by your ardour.
wmth@2Corinthians:9:13 @ For, by the practical proof of it which you exhibit in this service, you cause God to be extolled for your fidelity to your professed adherence to the Good News of the Christ, and for the liberality of your contributions for them and for all who are in need,
wmth@2Corinthians:10:1 @ But as for me Paul, I entreat you by the gentleness and self-forgetfulness of Christ–I who when among you have not an imposing personal presence, but when absent am fearlessly outspoken in dealing with you.
wmth@2Corinthians:10:2 @ I beseech you not to compel me when present to make a bold display of the confidence with which I reckon I shall show my `courage' against some who reckon that we are guided by worldly principles.
wmth@2Corinthians:10:9 @ Let it not seem as if I wanted to frighten you by my letters.
wmth@2Corinthians:10:11 @ Let such people take this into their reckoning, that whatever we are in word by our letters when absent, the same are we also in act when present.
wmth@2Corinthians:10:12 @ For we have not the `courage' to rank ourselves among, or compare ourselves with, certain persons distinguished by their self-commendation. Yet they are not wise, measuring themselves, as they do, by one another and comparing themselves with one another.
wmth@2Corinthians:10:16 @ and shall tell the Good News in the districts beyond you, not boasting in another man's sphere about work already done by him.
wmth@2Corinthians:11:17 @ What I am now saying, I do not say by the Lord's command, but as a fool in his folly might, in this reckless boasting.
wmth@2Corinthians:11:23 @ Are they servants of Christ? (I speak as if I were out of my mind.) Much more am I His servant; serving Him more thoroughly than they by my labours, and more thoroughly also by my imprisonments, by excessively cruel floggings, and with risk of life many a time.
wmth@2Corinthians:11:26 @ I have served Him by frequent travelling, amid dangers in crossing rivers, dangers from robbers; dangers from my own countrymen, dangers from the Gentiles; dangers in the city, dangers in the Desert, dangers by sea, dangers from spies in our midst;
wmth@2Corinthians:12:1 @ I am compelled to boast. It is not a profitable employment, but I will proceed to visions and revelations granted me by the Lord.
wmth@2Corinthians:12:7 @ And judging by the stupendous grandeur of the revelations–therefore lest I should be over-elated there has been sent to me, like the agony of impalement, Satan's angel dealing blow after blow, lest I should be over-elated.
wmth@2Corinthians:12:12 @ The signs that characterize the true Apostle have been done among you, accompanied by unwearied fortitude, and by tokens and marvels and displays of power.
wmth@2Corinthians:12:14 @ See, I am now for the third time prepared to visit you, but I will not be a dead weight to you. I desire not your money, but yourselves; for children ought not to put by for their parents, but parents for their children.
wmth@2Corinthians:12:16 @ If I love you so intensely, am I the less to be loved? Be that as it may: I was not a burden to you. But being by no means scrupulous, I entrapped you, they say!
wmth@2Corinthians:12:18 @ I begged Titus to visit you, and sent our other brother with him. Did Titus gain any selfish advantage over you? Were not he and I guided by one and the same Spirit, and did we not walk in the same steps?
wmth@2Corinthians:12:21 @ and that upon re-visiting you I may be humbled by my God in your presence, and may have to mourn over many whose hearts still cling to their old sins, and who have not repented of the impurity, fornication, and gross sensuality, of which they have been guilty.
wmth@2Corinthians:13:3 @ since you want a practical proof of the fact that Christ speaks by my lips–He who is not feeble towards you, but powerful among you.
wmth@Galatians:1:1 @ Paul, an Apostle sent not from men nor by any man, but by Jesus Christ and by God the Father, who raised Jesus from among the dead–
wmth@Galatians:1:6 @ I marvel that you are so readily leaving Him who called you by the grace of Christ, and are adhering to a different Good News.
wmth@Galatians:1:11 @ For I must tell you, brethren, that the Good News which was proclaimed by me is not such as man approves of.
wmth@Galatians:1:12 @ For, in fact, it was not from man that I received or learnt it, but by a revelation from Jesus Christ.
wmth@Galatians:1:15 @ But when He who set me apart even from my birth, and called me by His grace,
wmth@Galatians:2:2 @ I went up in obedience to a revelation of God's will; and I explained to them the Good News which I proclaim among the Gentiles. To the leaders of the Church this explanation was made in private, lest by any means I should be running, or should already have run, in vain.
wmth@Galatians:2:13 @ And along with him the other Jews also concealed their real opinions, so that even Barnabas was carried away by their lack of straightforwardness.
wmth@Galatians:2:15 @ You and I, though we are Jews by birth and not Gentile sinners,
wmth@Galatians:2:18 @ Why, if I am now rebuilding that structure of sin which I had demolished, I am thereby constituting myself a transgressor;
wmth@Galatians:2:19 @ for it is by the Law that I have died to the Law, in order that I may live to God.
wmth@Galatians:3:3 @ Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now going to reach perfection through what is external?
wmth@Galatians:3:11 @ It is evident, too, that no one can find acceptance with God simply by obeying the Law, because
wmth@Galatians:3:13 @ Christ has purchased our freedom from the curse of the Law by becoming accursed for us–because
wmth@Galatians:3:15 @ Brethren, even a covenant made by a man –to borrow an illustration from daily life– when once formally sanctioned is not liable to be set aside or added to.
wmth@Galatians:3:17 @ I mean that the Covenant which God had already formally made is not abrogated by the Law which was given four hundred and thirty years later–so as to annul the promise.
wmth@Galatians:3:19 @ Why then was the Law given? It was imposed later on for the sake of defining sin, until the seed should come to whom God had made the promise; and its details were laid down by a mediator with the help of angels.
wmth@Galatians:3:21 @ God, however, is only one. Is the Law then opposed to the promises of God? No, indeed; for if a Law had been given which could have conferred Life, righteousness would certainly have come by the Law.
wmth@Galatians:4:9 @ Now, however, having come to know God –or rather to be known by Him– how is it you are again turning back to weak and worthless rudimentary notions to which you are once more willing to be enslaved?
wmth@Galatians:4:22 @ For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave-girl and one by the free woman.
wmth@Galatians:5:15 @ But if you are perpetually snarling and snapping at one another, beware lest you are destroyed by one another.
wmth@Galatians:5:16 @ This then is what I mean. Let your lives be guided by the Spirit, and then you will certainly not indulge the cravings of your lower natures.
wmth@Galatians:5:25 @ If we are living by the Spirit's power, let our conduct also be governed by the Spirit's power.
wmth@Galatians:6:16 @ And all who shall regulate their lives by this principle –may peace and mercy be given to them– and to the true Israel of God.
wmth@Ephesians:1:1 @ Paul, an Apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God: To God's people who are in Ephesus–believers in Christ Jesus.
wmth@Ephesians:1:5 @ For He pre-destined us to be adopted by Himself as sons through Jesus Christ –such being His gracious will and pleasure–
wmth@Ephesians:1:20 @ when He displayed it in Christ by raising Him from the dead and seating Him at His own right hand in the heavenly realms,
wmth@Ephesians:2:3 @ Among them all of us also formerly passed our lives, governed by the inclinations of our lower natures, indulging the cravings of those natures and of our own thoughts, and were in our original state deserving of anger like all others.
wmth@Ephesians:2:5 @ caused us, dead though we were through our offences, to live with Christ –it is by grace that you have been saved–
wmth@Ephesians:2:7 @ in order that, by His goodness to us in Christ Jesus, He might display in the Ages to come the transcendent riches of His grace.
wmth@Ephesians:2:8 @ For it is by grace that you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves. It is God's gift, and is not on the ground of merit–
wmth@Ephesians:2:11 @ Therefore, do not forget that formerly you were Gentiles as to your bodily condition. You were called the Uncircumcision by those who style themselves the Circumcised–their circumcision being one which the knife has effected.
wmth@Ephesians:2:12 @ At that time you were living apart from Christ, estranged from the Commonwealth of Israel, with no share by birth in the Covenants which are based on the Promises, and you had no hope and no God, in all the world.
wmth@Ephesians:2:15 @ by setting aside the Law with its commandments, expressed, as they were, in definite decrees. His design was to unite the two sections of humanity in Himself so as to form one new man,
wmth@Ephesians:2:16 @ thus effecting peace, and to reconcile Jews and Gentiles in one body to God, by means of His cross–slaying by it their mutual enmity.
wmth@Ephesians:3:3 @ and that by a revelation the truth hitherto kept secret was made known to me as I have already briefly explained it to you.
wmth@Ephesians:3:4 @ By means of that explanation, as you read it, you can judge of my insight into the truth of Christ
wmth@Ephesians:3:16 @ to grant you –in accordance with the wealth of His glorious perfections– to be strengthened by His Spirit with power penetrating to your inmost being.
wmth@Ephesians:3:18 @ as it is grasped by all God's people, of the breadth and length, the height and depth–
wmth@Ephesians:4:3 @ in the uniting bond of peace, the unity given by the Spirit.
wmth@Ephesians:4:16 @ Dependent on Him, the whole body –its various parts closely fitting and firmly adhering to one another– grows by the aid of every contributory link, with power proportioned to the need of each individual part, so as to build itself up in a spirit of love.
wmth@Ephesians:4:18 @ with darkened understandings, having by reason of the ignorance which is deep-seated in them and the insensibility of their moral nature, no share in the Life which God gives.
wmth@Ephesians:5:12 @ for the things which are done by these people in secret it is disgraceful even to speak of.
wmth@Ephesians:5:13 @ But everything can be tested by the light and thus be shown in its true colors; for whatever shines of itself is light.
wmth@Ephesians:5:26 @ in order to make her holy, cleansing her with the baptismal water by the word,
wmth@Philippians:1:9 @ And it is my prayer that your love may be more and more accompanied by clear knowledge and keen perception, for testing things that differ,
wmth@Philippians:1:17 @ while the others proclaim Him from motives of rivalry, and insincerely, supposing that by this they are embittering my imprisonment.
wmth@Philippians:1:20 @ in fulfilment of my eager expectation and hope that I shall never have reason to feel ashamed, but that by my perfect freedom of speech Christ will be glorified in me, now as always, either by my life or by my death.
wmth@Philippians:1:25 @ I am convinced of this, and I know that I shall remain, and shall go on working side by side with you all, to promote your progress and joy in the faith;
wmth@Philippians:2:1 @ If then I can appeal to you as the followers of Christ, if there is any persuasive power in love and any common sharing of the Spirit, or if you have any tender-heartedness and compassion, make my joy complete by being of one mind,
wmth@Philippians:2:2 @ united by mutual love, with harmony of feeling giving your minds to one and the same object.
wmth@Philippians:2:7 @ Nay, He stripped Himself of His glory, and took on Him the nature of a bondservant by becoming a man like other men.
wmth@Philippians:2:19 @ But, if the Lord permits it, I hope before long to send Timothy to you, that I, in turn, may be cheered by getting news of you.
wmth@Philippians:4:6 @ Do not be over-anxious about anything, but by prayer and earnest pleading, together with thanksgiving, let your request be unreservedly made known in the presence of God.
wmth@Colossians:1:1 @ Paul, an Apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God–and Timothy our brother:
wmth@Colossians:1:8 @ and moreover he has informed us of your love, which is inspired by the Spirit.
wmth@Colossians:1:9 @ For this reason we also, from the day we first received these tidings, have never ceased to pray for you and to entreat that you may be filled with a clear knowledge of His will accompanied by thorough wisdom and discernment in spiritual things;
wmth@Colossians:1:22 @ He has now, in His human body, reconciled to God by His death, to bring you, holy and faultless and irreproachable, into His presence;
wmth@Colossians:1:25 @ I have been appointed to serve the Church in the position of responsibility entrusted to me by God for your benefit, so that I may fully deliver God's Message–
wmth@Colossians:2:4 @ I say this to prevent your being misled by any one's plausible sophistry.
wmth@Colossians:2:5 @ For although, as you say, I am absent from you in body, yet in spirit I am present with you and am delighted to witness your good discipline and the solid front presented by your faith in Christ.
wmth@Colossians:2:8 @ Take care lest there be some one who leads you away as prisoners by means of his philosophy and idle fancies, following human traditions and the world's crude notions instead of following Christ.
wmth@Colossians:2:11 @ In Him also you were circumcised with a circumcision not performed by hand, when you threw off your sinful nature in true Christian circumcision;
wmth@Colossians:2:12 @ having been buried with Him in your baptism, in which you were also raised with Him through faith produced within you by God who raised Him from among the dead.
wmth@Colossians:2:15 @ And the hostile princes and rulers He shook off from Himself, and boldly displayed them as His conquests, when by the Cross He triumphed over them.
wmth@Colossians:2:19 @ Such a one does not keep his hold upon Christ, the Head, from whom the Body, in all its parts nourished and strengthened by its points of contact and its connections, grows with a divine growth.
wmth@1Thessalonians:1:4 @ knowing as we do, brethren, that you are beloved by God and that He has chosen you.
wmth@1Thessalonians:1:6 @ And you followed the pattern set you by us and by the Master, after you had received the Message amid severe persecution, and yet with the joy which the Holy Spirit gives,
wmth@1Thessalonians:2:2 @ But, as you will remember, after we had already met with suffering and outrage at Philippi, we summoned up boldness, by the help of our God, to tell you God's Good News amid much opposition.
wmth@1Thessalonians:2:3 @ For our preaching was not grounded on a delusion, nor prompted by mingled motives, nor was there fraud in it.
wmth@1Thessalonians:3:3 @ that none of you might be unnerved by your present trials: for you yourselves know that they are our appointed lot.
wmth@1Thessalonians:3:7 @ for this reason in our distress and trouble we have been comforted about you, brethren, by your faith.
wmth@1Thessalonians:4:2 @ For you know the commands which we laid upon you by the authority of the Lord Jesus.
wmth@1Thessalonians:4:5 @ that you be not overmastered by lustful cravings, like the Gentiles who have no knowledge of God;
wmth@1Thessalonians:4:9 @ But on the subject of love for the brotherhood it is unnecessary for me to write to you, for you yourselves have been taught by God to love one another;
wmth@2Thessalonians:1:7 @ and to requite with rest you who are suffering affliction now–rest with us at the re-appearing of the Lord Jesus from Heaven, attended by His mighty angels.
wmth@2Thessalonians:1:11 @ It is with this view also that we continually pray to our God for you, asking that He will count you worthy of His call, and by His mighty power fully gratify your every desire for what is truly good and make your work of faith complete;
wmth@2Thessalonians:2:2 @ not readily to become unsettled in mind or troubled –either by any pretended spiritual revelation or by any message or letter claiming to have been sent by us– through fancying that the day of the Lord is now here.
wmth@2Thessalonians:2:8 @ and then the Lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will sweep away with the tempest of His anger, and utterly overwhelm by the awful splendour of His Coming.
wmth@2Thessalonians:2:9 @ The appearing of the Lawless one will be attended by various miracles and tokens and delusive marvels –for so Satan works–
wmth@2Thessalonians:2:10 @ and by every kind of wicked deception for those who are on the way to perdition because they did not welcome into their hearts the love of the truth, so that they might be saved.
wmth@2Thessalonians:2:14 @ To this blessing God has called you by our Good News, so that you may have a share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
wmth@2Thessalonians:2:15 @ So then, brethren, stand your ground, and hold fast to the teachings which you have received from us, whether by word of mouth or by letter.
wmth@2Thessalonians:3:6 @ But, by the authority of the Lord, we command you, brethren, to stand aloof from every brother whose life is disorderly and not in accordance with the teaching which all received from us.
wmth@2Thessalonians:3:12 @ To persons of that sort our injunction –and our command by the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ– is that they are to work quietly and eat their own honestly-earned bread.
wmth@1Timothy:1:1 @ Paul, an Apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God our Saviour and Christ Jesus our hope:
wmth@1Timothy:1:5 @ But the end sought to be secured by exhortation is the love which springs from a pure heart, a clear conscience and a sincere faith.
wmth@1Timothy:3:16 @ And, beyond controversy, great is the mystery of our religion– that Christ appeared in human form, and His claims justified by the Spirit, was seen by angels and proclaimed among Gentile nations, was believed on in the world, and received up again into glory.
wmth@1Timothy:4:3 @ forbidding people to marry, and insisting on abstinence from foods which God has created to be partaken of, with thankfulness, by those who believe and have a clear knowledge of the truth.
wmth@1Timothy:4:5 @ For it is made holy by the word of God and by prayer.
wmth@1Timothy:4:16 @ Be on your guard as to yourself and your teaching. Persevere in these things; for by doing this you will make certain your own salvation and that of your hearers.
wmth@1Timothy:6:2 @ And those who have believing masters should not be wanting in respect towards them because they are their brethren, but should serve them all the more willingly because those who profit by the faithful service rendered are believers and are friends.
wmth@1Timothy:6:15 @ For, as its appointed time, this will be brought about by the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords,
wmth@2Timothy:1:1 @ Paul, an Apostle of Christ Jesus, by the will of God, for proclaiming the promise of the Life which is in Christ Jesus:
wmth@2Timothy:1:8 @ Do not be ashamed then to bear witness for our Lord and for me His prisoner; but rather share suffering with me in the service of the Good News, strengthened by the power of God.
wmth@2Timothy:2:2 @ All that you have been taught by me in the hearing of many witnesses, you must hand on to trusty men who shall themselves, in turn, be competent to instruct others also.
wmth@2Timothy:2:26 @ and recover sober-mindedness and freedom from the Devil's snare, though they are now entrapped by him to do his will.
wmth@2Timothy:3:6 @ Among them are included the men who make their way into private houses and carry off weak women as their prisoners–women who, weighed down by the burden of their sins, are led by ever-changing caprice,
wmth@2Timothy:3:16 @ Every Scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for convincing, for correction of error, and for instruction in right doing;
wmth@2Timothy:4:1 @ I solemnly implore you, in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus who is about to judge the living and the dead, and by His Appearing and His Kingship:
wmth@2Timothy:4:17 @ The Lord, however, stood by me and filled me with inward strength, that through me the Message might be fully proclaimed and that all the Gentiles might hear it; and I was rescued from the lion's jaws.
wmth@Titus:1:3 @ And at the appointed time He clearly made known His Message in the preaching with which I was entrusted by the command of God our Saviour:
wmth@Titus:3:5 @ as righteous men, had done, but as the result of His own mercy He saved us by means of the bath of regeneration and the renewal of our natures by the Holy Spirit,
wmth@Hebrews:1:1 @ God, who in ancient days spoke to our forefathers in many distinct messages and by various methods through the Prophets,
wmth@Hebrews:1:3 @ He brightly reflects God's glory and is the exact representation of His being, and upholds the universe by His all-powerful word. After securing man's purification from sin He took His seat at the right hand of the Majesty on high,
wmth@Hebrews:1:4 @ having become as far superior to the angels as the Name He possesses by inheritance is more excellent than theirs.
wmth@Hebrews:2:3 @ how shall escape if we are indifferent to a salvation as great as that now offered to us? This, after having first of all been announced by the Lord Himself, had its truth made sure to us by those who heard Him,
wmth@Hebrews:2:4 @ while God corroborated their testimony by signs and marvels and various miracles, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed in accordance with His own will.
wmth@Hebrews:2:10 @ For it was fitting that He for whom, and through whom, all things exist, after He had brought many sons to glory, should perfect by suffering the Prince Leader who had saved them.
wmth@Hebrews:4:7 @ He again definitely mentions a certain day, »To-day,« saying long afterwards, by David's lips, in the words already quoted,
wmth@Hebrews:5:4 @ And no one takes this honourable office upon himself, but only accepts it when called to it by God, as Aaron was.
wmth@Hebrews:5:5 @ So Christ also did not claim for Himself the honour of being made High Priest, but was appointed to it by Him who said to Him,
wmth@Hebrews:5:13 @ By people who live on milk I mean those who are imperfectly acquainted with the teaching concerning righteousness.
wmth@Hebrews:6:8 @ But if it only yields a mass of thorns and briers, it is considered worthless, and is in danger of being cursed, and in the end will be destroyed by fire.
wmth@Hebrews:6:13 @ For when God gave the promise to Abraham, since He had no one greater to swear by, He swore by Himself,
wmth@Hebrews:6:16 @ For men swear by what is greater than themselves; and with them an oath in confirmation of a statement always puts an end to a dispute.
wmth@Hebrews:7:5 @ And those of the descendants of Levi who receive the priesthood are authorized by the Law to take tithes from the people, that is, from their brethren, though these have sprung from Abraham.
wmth@Hebrews:7:7 @ And beyond all dispute it is always the inferior who is blessed by the superior.
wmth@Hebrews:7:11 @ Now if the crowning blessing was attainable by means of the Levitical priesthood –for as resting on this foundation the people received the Law, to which they are still subject– what further need was there for a Priest of a different kind to be raised up belonging to the order of Melchizedek instead of being said to belong to the order of Aaron?
wmth@Hebrews:7:16 @ and hold His office not in obedience to any temporary Law, but by virtue of an indestructible Life.
wmth@Hebrews:7:19 @ for the Law brought no perfect blessing–but on the other hand we have the bringing in of a new and better hope by means of which we draw near to God.
wmth@Hebrews:7:21 @ for these men hold office without any oath having been taken, but He holds it attested by an oath from Him who said to Him, »The Lord has sworn and will not recall His words, Thou art a Priest for ever« –
wmth@Hebrews:8:13 @ By using the words, »a new Covenant,« He has made the first one obsolete; but whatever is decaying and showing signs of old age is not far from disappearing altogether.
wmth@Hebrews:9:11 @ But Christ appeared as a High Priest of the blessings that are soon to come by means of the greater and more perfect Tent of worship, a tent which has not been built with hands –that is to say does not belong to this material creation–
wmth@Hebrews:9:14 @ how much more certainly shall the blood of Christ, who strengthened by the eternal Spirit offered Himself to God, free from blemish, purify your consciences from lifeless works for you to serve the ever-living God?
wmth@Hebrews:9:24 @ For not into a Holy place built by men's hands –a mere copy of the reality– did Christ enter, but He entered Heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf.
wmth@Hebrews:9:26 @ In that case Christ would have needed to suffer many times, from the creation of the world onwards; but as a matter of fact He has appeared once for all, at the Close of the Ages, in order to do away with sin![[pBiblx2]](/img/menu.png)
