bwe@Romans:1:16 @ I am not ashamed of the good news of Jesus Christ. The good news is the power God uses to save every one who believes. The good news was for the Jews first, but also for those who are not Jews.

bwe@Romans:2:8 @ But God will be very angry with the people who think of themselves first before others. They do not obey what is right. They do wrong things.

bwe@Romans:2:9 @ Every one who does what is wrong will have much trouble and a hard time. This will happen to the Jews first, then to those who are not Jews.

bwe@Romans:2:10 @ And every one who does what is good, will be made great. He will have honour and peace. This will happen to the Jews first and then to those who are not Jews.

bwe@Romans:3:2 @ It is much better in every way. First, Gods law was given to the Jews.

bwe@Romans:8:23 @ And not the world only, but we ourselves also cry out. We have the first blessing God gives of his Spirit. But we cry out in our hearts. We are waiting for God to finish making us his sons. Then our bodies will be set free.

bwe@Romans:8:29 @ He knew all along that he would choose them. He chose them to be made like his Son. Then his Son would be the first one of many brothers.

bwe@Romans:10:19 @ But I ask, did not the Jews know? First the book of Moses says, I will make you jealous through people who are not a nation like the Jews. I will make you angry through people who do not even know or understand these things.

bwe@Romans:11:2 @ God has not left his people whom he knew from the first. Do you not know what the holy writings say about the prophet Elijah? He talked to God against the people of Israel.

bwe@Romans:11:16 @ If the first piece of bread is holy, so is all the rest which came from the same bread mix. If the root of a tree is holy, the branches are holy also.

bwe@Romans:11:35 @ Who has given a gift to God first, so that God would give him something also?

bwe@Romans:13:11 @ In all this you know what a special time it is. It is time now for you to wake up from your sleep. The time when we will be saved is nearer to us now than when we first believed.

bwe@Romans:15:24 @ When I go to the country of Spain, I hope to see you on my way there. I hope you will help me on my way to that place. But first I will be happy to be with you for a little while.

bwe@Romans:16:5 @ Give my greetings also to the church in their house. Give my greetings also to dear Epaenetus. He was the first person in Asia Minor to believe in Christ.

bwe@1Corinthians:3:1 @ My brothers, I could not talk to you at first as to people who have the Spirit of God. But I talked to you as people who have the spirit of this world. I talked to you as people who are very new-born, baby Christians.

bwe@1Corinthians:11:18 @ First, I hear that in the church meeting you divide yourselves into groups. I think this may be true.

bwe@1Corinthians:11:31 @ But if we took time to look into our hearts first, then we would not be punished.

bwe@1Corinthians:12:26 @ God has given each person their right place in the church. First, there are the apostles. Second, there are prophets who speak words from God. Third, there are those who teach. Then there are those who do big works. Then there are those who have the gifts to heal people, those who help in the work of the church people, those who lead and guide others, and those who speak Gods words in different kinds of tongues or languages.

bwe@1Corinthians:14:30 @ But if another person is sitting by and God gives him something to say, then the first person should stop talking.

bwe@1Corinthians:14:36 @ Do you think that you were the first ones to tell the word of God? Or do you think that you are the only people who have it?

bwe@1Corinthians:15:3 @ I told you first what was told to me. I told you that Christ died for the wrong things we did, as the holy writings said.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:20 @ But Christ really has been raised from death. He was the first one to rise of all who have died.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:21 @ It was a man who first brought death. So it was also a man who was first raised from death.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:23 @ But each one has his turn. Christ rose first. Then those who belong to Christ will rise when he comes again.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:45 @ The holy writings say, The first man, Adam, was of this world! The last Adam <FI>Christ<Fi> is a Spirit who gives life.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:46 @ The body for the spirit does not come first. The body for this world comes first. Then comes the body for the spirit.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:47 @ The first man came from earth. He was made from the dust of the earth. The second Adam is the Lord from heaven.

bwe@1Corinthians:16:2 @ On the first day of the week, every one of you should put aside and save as much money as you can. Then you will not have to get money together when I come.

bwe@1Corinthians:16:15 @ You know that Stephanas and his family were the first people in the country of Greece to believe the good news. They have made up their minds to help Gods people always.

bwe@2Corinthians:1:20 @ He has put his Spirit in our hearts. This is the first part of what we are to receive, and it proves that we will receive all God has promised.

bwe@2Corinthians:3:10 @ The law was so bright and wonderful at first but has no light now. There is something else that is so much more bright and wonderful.

bwe@2Corinthians:3:11 @ The one which does not stay alive for ever came first in a great light. Does not the one which does stay alive have a much brighter light?

bwe@2Corinthians:5:5 @ God is the one who has made us ready for this change. He has already given us the Spirit. This is the first part of what we are to receive, and it proves that we will get more.

bwe@2Corinthians:7:7 @ I know that what I wrote in my letter made you sad. But I am not sorry I wrote it. Perhaps I was sorry at first, but now I am glad I sent it. I see the letter made you sad for a while.

bwe@2Corinthians:8:5 @ And they did more than we thought they would do. First, they gave themselves to the Lord and to us, because we were doing Gods work.

bwe@2Corinthians:8:10 @ I tell you what I think. It is best for you to finish what you started a year ago. You were the first to think of helping, and you started to give money.

bwe@2Corinthians:9:5 @ So I thought it would be good to send these brothers to you first. They will get this gift ready which you promised. Then it will be ready like a gift, and not as if you were forced to give it.

bwe@2Corinthians:10:14 @ We are not going farther than we should when we come to you. We were the first to come all the way to you with the good news of Christ.

bwe@2Corinthians:11:4 @ You listen to a new man when he comes to tell you about a different Jesus, which is not the one we told you about. And when you receive a spirit and a message which are not the ones you had first, then you listen too much.

bwe@Galatians:4:8 @ At first, you did not know God. At that time you obeyed things which are not real gods.

bwe@Galatians:4:13 @ You know that I was sick when I first told you the good news.

bwe@Ephesians:1:12 @ We believed in Christ first, so we will praise him because he is so great and wonderful.

bwe@Ephesians:1:14 @ The Holy Spirit is the first part of what we are to receive from God. This proves that we will get all God has promised. Some day we shall have them all. Praise God! He is very great and wonderful. 15,

bwe@Ephesians:6:2 @ Respect your father and mother. This is the first law of God with a promise: So that all will be well with you, and that you may live long on earth.

bwe@Philippians:1:5 @ I thank God for the joy we share in telling the good news from the very first day until now.

bwe@Philippians:1:16 @ The first ones do it because they want to prove they are better than I am. They do not have a good reason. But they think they will make trouble for me while I am in prison.

bwe@Philippians:4:14 @ You people of Philippi know this too. When I first told the good news after I left the country of Macedonia, you were the only church people who helped me. You sent me money to pay my expenses.

bwe@Colossians:1:18 @ He is also the head of the body which is the church <FI>the people who believe in Jesus Christ<Fi>. He is the beginning, the first one to rise from death, so that he would be the first one in everything.

bwe@1Timothy:2:1 @ First of all, I want Gods people to do this. They must talk to God for all the people. They must ask God to help them. They must ask God to give them what they need. They must thank God for all that he gives them.

bwe@1Timothy:3:10 @ Try these men first. Then let them help the church people if they have done nothing wrong.

bwe@1Timothy:5:4 @ If they have children or grandchildren, they should learn that the first place to do Gods work is in the home to help their own family. They should help their parents because their parents have helped them. This will please God.

bwe@1Timothy:5:12 @ And that will be wrong for them because they have not kept their first promise.

bwe@1Timothy:5:25 @ So also, the good things are seen clearly. Even when they are not seen at first, they will be seen later.

bwe@2Timothy:1:5 @ I remember that you really believe. Your grandmother Lois believed first. Your mother Eunice believed too. I am sure that you believe in the same way.

bwe@2Timothy:2:6 @ A farmer works hard planting. He should be the first one to have the food that grows.

bwe@2Timothy:4:16 @ The first time I spoke for myself in court, no one was on my side. All left me. I hope that God will forgive them.

bwe@Hebrews:1:6 @ When God brings his first-born Son into the world, he says, All of Gods angels must worship him.

bwe@Hebrews:2:3 @ If that is so, then we will not get away without being punished. We will be punished if we forget or throw away this wonderful way to be saved. It was the Lord who first told people how to be saved. Then those who heard him told us the true way.

bwe@Hebrews:3:14 @ We have our part with Christ if we go on to the end and believe in him as we did at first.

bwe@Hebrews:4:6 @ So that means some people will go in. But the people who first heard the good news about it did not go in. They did not believe it.

bwe@Hebrews:6:1 @ So, let us leave behind the first teachings about Christ. And let us go on to things that are grown up. We must not go back to the beginning again and talk about turning away from doing things that bring death to us. We must not go back again and talk about believing in God. Let us go forward.

bwe@Hebrews:7:2 @ Abraham divided all that he took away from the kings into ten parts. He gave Melchizedek one part. First, the name Melchizedek means the king who is true and right with God. Then he was king of Salem. That means king of peace.

bwe@Hebrews:7:27 @ He does not need to make sacrifices every day. The other high priests make sacrifices every day, first for the wrong things they have done, and then for the people. He did it once when he offered himself as the sacrifice.

bwe@Hebrews:8:7 @ If the first agreement had been all right, there would have been no need to make another.

bwe@Hebrews:8:13 @ God says this is a new agreement, and that makes the first one old. When a thing is old and no good, it is about ready to be thrown away.

bwe@Hebrews:9:1 @ The first agreement had laws about worship. And it had a holy place on earth where the agreement was kept.

bwe@Hebrews:9:2 @ A house was made. In the first part of the house were the light, the table, and the bread of God. This first part was called the Holy Place.

bwe@Hebrews:9:6 @ These things were made ready. The priests always went into the first part of the house to do their work for God.

bwe@Hebrews:9:8 @ This is how the Holy Spirit showed that the way into the Most Holy Place was not yet open to everybody. It was not open as long as the first house was still standing.

bwe@Hebrews:9:9 @ This first part is a picture of the time we are in now. In it gifts and sacrifices are made to God. But they cannot make a persons heart clean to worship God.

bwe@Hebrews:9:15 @ That is why he is the middle man of a new agreement. He died and paid for the wrong things that were done under the first agreement. Because he is a middle man, those people who are called by God can have what he promised. This will belong to them for ever.

bwe@Hebrews:9:26 @ If Christ were like him, he would have had to die many times ever since the world was first made. But as it is now, Christ came once in the last days of the world. He came to clean away what is wrong by giving himself as a sacrifice.

bwe@Hebrews:10:8 @ First he said, You did not want sacrifices and gifts, and animals that are given to be burned as sacrifices, and animals killed to clean away peoples wrong ways. You did not like them. These sacrifices are made to obey the law.

bwe@Hebrews:10:9 @ Then he said, See, I have come to do what you want me to do. He took away the first kind of sacrifices so that the second kind would remain.

bwe@Hebrews:10:16 @ First he said, This is the agreement that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord. I will put my laws in their hearts. I will write them in their minds.

bwe@Hebrews:10:32 @ Remember the first days when you had the light of Gods truth. In those days you were strong, even though you had to fight against many troubles.

bwe@Hebrews:12:2 @ We must keep our eyes on Jesus. He believed from first to last. What was put in front of him made him glad, so he did not give up when the people nailed him on a cross. He did not care about the shame. And now he is sitting beside God.

bwe@Hebrews:12:23 @ You have come to the church people. They are Gods first sons, and their names are written in heaven. You have come to God who is the judge of all people. You have come to the spirits of good people who have been made right.

bwe@James:1:11 @ The sun shines and is very hot. Then the grass dries and its flower falls off. It was nice at first, but now it is not nice any more. In the same way, the rich man will die while he is going around trying to make money.

bwe@James:1:18 @ He made us his children because he wanted us. He made us his children by giving us his true word. He made us his children so that we would be the first and best of all he made.

bwe@James:3:17 @ First of all, when God makes people wise, they are holy. They do not fight. They are gentle. They listen to what other people say. They are very kind and do many good things. They do not quarrel. They do not say what is not true.

bwe@James:5:7 @ So brothers, take your troubles quietly and wait until the Lord comes. A farmer waits until the harvest grows from the ground. He waits for it a long time until it has had the first and second rain.

bwe@1Peter:4:17 @ The time has come for God to judge people. Gods people will be judged first. If we are judged first, what will happen at the end to those who do not obey the good news of God?

bwe@2Peter:1:20 @ First you must understand this. The words from the prophets in the holy writings did not come from their own minds.

bwe@2Peter:2:20 @ They left the wrong ways of the world because they knew our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Then when they went back to the wrong ways again, they were ruled by them. Then they will have more trouble than they had at first.

bwe@2Peter:3:3 @ Here is the first thing. In the last days, men will come who will make fun of holy things. They will do what they themselves want to do.

bwe@1John:4:19 @ We love others because God first loved us.

bwe@Jude:1:5 @ You know all these things for all times. But I want to bring them to your minds. First, the Lord saved his people from the country of Egypt. At a time after that, he killed those who did not believe in him.
