wmth@Romans:1:8 @ First of all, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for what He has done for all of you; for the report of your faith is spreading through the whole world.

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:1:11 @ For I am longing to see you, in order to convey to you some spiritual help, so that you may be strengthened;

wmth@Romans:1:15 @ so that for my part I am willing and eager to proclaim the Good News to you also who are in Rome.

wmth@Romans:1:16 @ For I am not ashamed of the Good News. It is God's power which is at work for the salvation of every one who believes–the Jew first, and then the Gentile.

wmth@Romans:1:17 @ For in the Good News a righteousness which comes from God is being revealed, depending on faith and tending to produce faith; as the Scripture has it,

wmth@Romans:1:18 @ For God's anger is being revealed from Heaven against all impiety and against the iniquity of men who through iniquity suppress the truth. God is angry:

wmth@Romans:1:19 @ because what may be known about Him is plain to their inmost consciousness; for He Himself has made it plain to them.

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:1:21 @ For when they had come to know God, they did not give Him glory as God nor render Him thanks, but they became absorbed in useless discussions, and their senseless minds were darkened.

wmth@Romans:1:24 @ For this reason, in accordance with their own depraved cravings, God gave them up to uncleanness, allowing them to dishonour their bodies among themselves with impurity.

wmth@Romans:1:25 @ For they had bartered the reality of God for what is unreal, and had offered divine honours and religious service to created things, rather than to the Creator–He who is for ever blessed. Amen.

wmth@Romans:1:26 @ This then is the reason why God gave them up to vile passions. For not only did the women among them exchange the natural use of their bodies for one which is contrary to nature, but the men also,

wmth@Romans:1:27 @ in just the same way –neglecting that for which nature intends women– burned with passion towards one another, men practising shameful vice with men, and receiving in their own selves the reward which necessarily followed their misconduct.

wmth@Romans:1:28 @ And just as they had refused to continue to have a full knowledge of God, so it was to utterly worthless minds that God gave them up, for them to do things which should not be done.

wmth@Romans:1:30 @ They were secret backbiters, open slanderers; hateful to God, insolent, haughty, boastful; inventors of new forms of sin, disobedient to parents, destitute of common sense,

wmth@Romans:2:1 @ You are therefore without excuse, O man, whoever you are who sit in judgement upon others. For when you pass judgement on your fellow man, you condemn yourself; for you who sit in judgement upon others are guilty of the same misdeeds;

wmth@Romans:2:4 @ Or is it that you think slightingly of His infinite goodness, forbearance and patience, unaware that the goodness of God is gently drawing you to repentance?

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:2:11 @ For God pays no attention to this world's distinctions.

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:2:19 @ and have persuaded yourself that, as for you, you are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,

wmth@Romans:2:20 @ a schoolmaster for the dull and ignorant, a teacher of the young, because in the Law you possess an outline of real knowledge and an outline of the truth:

wmth@Romans:2:22 @ You who forbid adultery, do you commit adultery? You who loathe idols, do you plunder their temples?

wmth@Romans:2:24 @ -For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentile nations because of you,- as Holy Writ declares.

wmth@Romans:2:25 @ Circumcision does indeed profit, if you obey the Law; but if you are a Law-breaker, the fact that you have been circumcised counts for nothing.

wmth@Romans:2:28 @ For the true Jew is not the man who is simply a Jew outwardly, and true circumcision is not that which is outward and bodily.

wmth@Romans:3:3 @ For what if some Jews have proved unfaithful? Shall their faithlessness render God's faithfulness worthless?

wmth@Romans:3:6 @ No indeed; for in that case how shall He judge all mankind?)

wmth@Romans:3:7 @ If, for instance, a falsehood of mine has made God's truthfulness more conspicuous, redounding to His glory, why am I judged all the same as a sinner?

wmth@Romans:3:8 @ And why should we not say –for so they wickedly misrepresent us, and so some charge us with arguing– »Let us do evil that good may come«? The condemnation of those who would so argue is just.

wmth@Romans:3:9 @ What then? Are we Jews more highly estimated than they? Not in the least; for we have already charged all Jews and Gentiles alike with being in thraldom to sin.

wmth@Romans:3:18 @ »There is no fear of God before their eyes.«

wmth@Romans:3:20 @ For on the ground of obedience to Law no man living will be declared righteous before Him. Law simply brings a sure knowledge of sin.

wmth@Romans:3:23 @ for all alike have sinned, and all consciously come short of the glory of God,

wmth@Romans:3:25 @ He it is whom God put forward as a Mercy-seat, rendered efficacious through faith in His blood, in order to demonstrate His righteousness – because of the passing over, in God's forbearance, of the sins previously committed–

wmth@Romans:3:27 @ Where then is there room for your boasting? It is for ever shut out. On what principle? On the ground of merit? No, but on the ground of faith.

wmth@Romans:3:28 @ For we maintain that it is as the result of faith that a man is held to be righteous, apart from actions done in obedience to Law.

wmth@Romans:4:1 @ What then shall we say that Abraham, our earthly forefather, has gained?

wmth@Romans:4:2 @ For if he was held to be righteous on the ground of his actions, he has something to boast of; but not in the presence of God.

wmth@Romans:4:3 @ For what says the Scripture?

wmth@Romans:4:9 @ This declaration of blessedness, then, does it come simply to the circumcised, or to the uncircumcised as well? For –so we affirm–

wmth@Romans:4:10 @ What then were the circumstances under which this took place? Was it after he had been circumcised, or before?

wmth@Romans:4:11 @ Before, not after. And he received circumcision as a sign, a mark attesting the reality of the faith-righteousness which was his while still uncircumcised, that he might be the forefather of all those who believe even though they are uncircumcised–in order that this righteousness might be placed to their credit;

wmth@Romans:4:12 @ and the forefather of the circumcised, namely of those who not merely are circumcised, but also walk in the steps of the faith which our forefather Abraham had while he was as yet uncircumcised.

wmth@Romans:4:14 @ For if it is the righteous through Law who are heirs, then faith is useless and the promise counts for nothing.

wmth@Romans:4:15 @ For the Law inflicts punishment; but where no Law exists, there can be no violation of Law.

wmth@Romans:4:16 @ All depends on faith, and for this reason–that acceptance with God might be an act of pure grace,

wmth@Romans:4:17 @ so that the promise should be made sure to all Abraham's true descendants; not merely to those who are righteous through the Law, but to those who are righteous through a faith like that of Abraham. Thus in the sight of God in whom he believed, who gives life to the dead and makes reference to things that do not exist, as though they did, Abraham is the forefather of all of us. As it is written,

wmth@Romans:4:18 @ Under utterly hopeless circumstances he hopefully believed, so that he might become the forefather of many nations, in agreement with the words

wmth@Romans:4:19 @ And, without growing weak in faith, he could contemplate his own vital powers which had now decayed –for he was nearly 100 years old– and Sarah's barrenness.

wmth@Romans:4:22 @ For this reason also his faith

wmth@Romans:4:23 @ Nor was the fact of its being placed to his credit put on record for his sake only;

wmth@Romans:4:24 @ it was for our sakes too. Faith, before long, will be placed to the credit of us also who are believers in Him who raised Jesus, our Lord, from the dead,

wmth@Romans:4:25 @ who was surrendered to death because of the offences we had committed, and was raised to life because of the acquittal secured for us.

wmth@Romans:5:3 @ And not only so: we also exult in our sufferings, knowing as we do, that suffering produces fortitude;

wmth@Romans:5:4 @ fortitude, ripeness of character; and ripeness of character, hope;

wmth@Romans:5:5 @ and that this hope never disappoints, because God's love for us floods our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.

wmth@Romans:5:6 @ For already, while we were still helpless, Christ at the right moment died for the ungodly.

wmth@Romans:5:7 @ Why, it is scarcely conceivable that any one would die for a simply just man, although for a good and lovable man perhaps some one, here and there, will have the courage even to lay down his life.

wmth@Romans:5:8 @ But God gives proof of His love to us in Christ's dying for us while we were still sinners.

wmth@Romans:5:9 @ If therefore we have now been pronounced free from guilt through His blood, much more shall we be delivered from God's anger through Him.

wmth@Romans:5:10 @ For if while we were hostile to God we were reconciled to Him through the death of His Son, it is still more certain that now that we are reconciled, we shall obtain salvation through Christ's life.

wmth@Romans:5:13 @ For prior to the Law sin was already in the world; only it is not entered in the account against us when no Law exists.

wmth@Romans:5:15 @ But God's free gift immeasurably outweighs the transgression. For if through the transgression of the one individual the mass of mankind have died, infinitely greater is the generosity with which God's grace, and the gift given in His grace which found expression in the one man Jesus Christ, have been bestowed on the mass of mankind.

wmth@Romans:5:16 @ And it is not with the gift as it was with the results of one individual's sin; for the judgement which one individual provoked resulted in condemnation, whereas the free gift after a multitude of transgressions results in acquittal.

wmth@Romans:5:17 @ For if, through the transgression of the one individual, Death made use of the one individual to seize the sovereignty, all the more shall those who receive God's overflowing grace and gift of righteousness reign as kings in Life through the one individual, Jesus Christ.

wmth@Romans:5:19 @ For as through the disobedience of the one individual the mass of mankind were constituted sinners, so also through the obedience of the One the mass of mankind will be constituted righteous.

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:6:7 @ for he who has paid the penalty of death stands absolved from his sin.

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:6:12 @ Let not Sin therefore reign as king in your mortal bodies, causing you to be in subjection to their cravings;

wmth@Romans:6:13 @ and no longer lend your faculties as unrighteous weapons for Sin to use. On the contrary surrender your very selves to God as living men who have risen from the dead, and surrender your several faculties to God, to be used as weapons to maintain the right.

wmth@Romans:6:14 @ For Sin shall not be lord over you, since you are subjects not of Law, but of grace.

wmth@Romans:6:15 @ Are we therefore to sin because we are no longer under the authority of Law, but under grace? No, indeed!

wmth@Romans:6:20 @ For when you were the bondservants of sin, you were under no sort of subjection to Righteousness.

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:7:1 @ Brethren, do you not know –for I am writing to people acquainted with the Law– that it is during our lifetime that we are subject to the Law?

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:7:3 @ This accounts for the fact that if during her husband's life she lives with another man, she will be stigmatized as an adulteress; but that if her husband is dead she is no longer under the old prohibition, and even though she marries again, she is not an adulteress.

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:7:6 @ But seeing that we have died to that which once held us in bondage, the Law has now no hold over us, so that we render a service which, instead of being old and formal, is new and spiritual.

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:7:14 @ For we know that the Law is a spiritual thing; but I am unspiritual–the slave, bought and sold, of sin.

wmth@Romans:7:15 @ For what I do, I do not recognize as my own action. What I desire to do is not what I do, but what I am averse to is what I do.

wmth@Romans:7:18 @ For I know that in me, that is, in my lower self, nothing good has its home; for while the will to do right is present with me, the power to carry it out is not.

wmth@Romans:7:19 @ For what I do is not the good thing that I desire to do; but the evil thing that I desire not to do, is what I constantly do.

wmth@Romans:7:21 @ I find therefore the law of my nature to be that when I desire to do what is right, evil is lying in ambush for me.

wmth@Romans:7:22 @ For in my inmost self all my sympathy is with the Law of God;

wmth@Romans:8:1 @ There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus;

wmth@Romans:8:2 @ for the Spirit's Law – telling of Life in Christ Jesus– has set me free from the Law that deals only with sin and death.

wmth@Romans:8:3 @ For what was impossible to the Law –powerless as it was because it acted through frail humanity– God effected. Sending His own Son in a body like that of sinful human nature and as a sacrifice for sin, He pronounced sentence upon sin in human nature;

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:8:6 @ Because for the mind to be given up to earthly things means death; but for it to be given up to spiritual things means Life and peace.

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:8:13 @ For if you so live, death is near; but if, through being under the sway of the spirit, you are putting your old bodily habits to death, you will live.

wmth@Romans:8:14 @ For those who are led by God's Spirit are, all of them, God's sons.

wmth@Romans:8:15 @ You have not for the second time acquired the consciousness of being –a consciousness which fills you with terror. But you have acquired a deep inward conviction of having been adopted as sons– a conviction which prompts us to cry aloud, »Abba! our Father!«

wmth@Romans:8:19 @ For all creation, gazing eagerly as if with outstretched neck, is waiting and longing to see the manifestation of the sons of God.

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:8:22 @ For we know that the whole of Creation is groaning together in the pains of childbirth until this hour.

wmth@Romans:8:23 @ And more than that, we ourselves, though we possess the Spirit as a foretaste and pledge of the glorious future, yet we ourselves inwardly sigh, as we wait and long for open recognition as sons through the deliverance of our bodies.

wmth@Romans:8:24 @ It is that we have been saved. But an object of hope is such no longer when it is present to view; for when a man has a thing before his eyes, how can he be said to hope for it?

wmth@Romans:8:25 @ But if we hope for something which we do not see, then we eagerly and patiently wait for it.

wmth@Romans:8:26 @ In the same way the Spirit also helps us in our weakness; for we do not know what prayers to offer nor in what way to offer them. But the Spirit Himself pleads for us in yearnings that can find no words,

wmth@Romans:8:27 @ and the Searcher of hearts knows what the Spirit's meaning is, because His intercessions for God's people are in harmony with God's will.

wmth@Romans:8:28 @ Now we know that for those who love God all things are working together for good–for those, I mean, whom with deliberate purpose He has called.

wmth@Romans:8:29 @ For those whom He has known beforehand He has also pre-destined to bear the likeness of His Son, that He might be the Eldest in a vast family of brothers;

wmth@Romans:8:32 @ He who did not withhold even His own Son, but gave Him up for all of us, will He not also with Him freely give us all things?

wmth@Romans:8:34 @ Who is there to condemn them? Christ Jesus died, or rather has risen to life again. He is also at the right hand of God, and is interceding for us.

wmth@Romans:8:38 @ For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither the lower ranks of evil angels nor the higher, neither things present nor things future, nor the forces of nature,

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:9:3 @ For I could pray to be accursed from Christ on behalf of my brethren, my human kinsfolk–for such the Israelites are.

wmth@Romans:9:6 @ Not however that God's word has failed; for all who have sprung from Israel do not count as Israel,

wmth@Romans:9:9 @ For the words are the language of promise and run thus,

wmth@Romans:9:10 @ Nor is that all: later on there was Rebecca too. She was soon to bear two children to her husband, our forefather Isaac–

wmth@Romans:9:16 @ And from this we learn that everything is dependent not on man's will or endeavour, but upon God who has mercy. For the Scripture said to Pharaoh,

wmth@Romans:9:19 @ »Why then does God still find fault?« you will ask; »for who is resisting His will?«

wmth@Romans:9:21 @ Or has not the potter rightful power over the clay to make out of the same lump one vessel for more honourable and another for less honourable uses?

wmth@Romans:9:22 @ And what if God, while choosing to make manifest the terrors of His anger and to show what is possible with Him, has yet borne with long-forbearing patience with the subjects of His anger who stand ready for destruction,

wmth@Romans:9:23 @ in order to make known His infinite goodness towards the subjects of His mercy whom He has prepared beforehand for glory,

wmth@Romans:10:1 @ Brethren, the longing of my heart, and my prayer to God, on behalf of my countrymen is for their salvation.

wmth@Romans:10:2 @ For I bear witness that they possess an enthusiasm for God, but it is an unenlightened enthusiasm.

wmth@Romans:10:4 @ For as a means of righteousness Christ is the termination of Law to every believer.

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:10:10 @ For with the heart men believe and obtain righteousness, and with the mouth they make confession and obtain salvation.

wmth@Romans:10:12 @ Jew and Gentile are on precisely the same footing; for the same Lord is Lord over all, and is infinitely kind to all who call upon Him for deliverance.

wmth@Romans:10:13 @ For

wmth@Romans:10:16 @ But, some will say, they have not all hearkened to the Good News. No, for Isaiah asks,

wmth@Romans:11:2 @ God has not cast off His People whom He knew beforehand. Or are you ignorant of what Scripture says in speaking of Elijah–how he pleaded with God against Israel, saying,

wmth@Romans:11:15 @ For if their having been cast aside has carried with it the reconciliation of the world, what will their being accepted again be but Life out of death?

wmth@Romans:11:18 @ beware of glorying over the natural branches. Or if you are so glorying, do not forget that it is not you who uphold the root: the root upholds you.

wmth@Romans:11:19 @ »Branches have been lopped off,« you will say, »for the sake of my being grafted in.«

wmth@Romans:11:21 @ Do not be puffed up with pride. Tremble rather–for if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will He spare you.

wmth@Romans:11:22 @ Notice therefore God's kindness and God's severity. On those who have fallen His severity has descended, but upon you His kindness has come, provided that you do not cease to respond to that kindness. Otherwise you will be cut off also.

wmth@Romans:11:23 @ Moreover, if they turn from their unbelief, they too will be grafted in. For God is powerful enough to graft them in again;

wmth@Romans:11:25 @ For there is a truth, brethren, not revealed hitherto, of which I do not wish to leave you in ignorance, for fear you should attribute superior wisdom to yourselves–the truth, I mean, that partial blindness has fallen upon Israel until the great mass of the Gentiles have come in;

wmth@Romans:11:28 @ In relation to the Good News, the Jews are God's enemies for your sakes; but in relation to God's choice they are dearly loved for the sake of their forefathers.

wmth@Romans:11:29 @ For God does not repent of His free gifts nor of His call;

wmth@Romans:11:30 @ but just as you were formerly disobedient to Him, but now have received mercy at a time when they are disobedient,

wmth@Romans:11:32 @ For God has locked up all in the prison of unbelief, that upon all alike He may have mercy.

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:12:3 @ For through the authority graciously given to me I warn every individual among you not to value himself unduly, but to cultivate sobriety of judgement in accordance with the amount of faith which God has allotted to each one.

wmth@Romans:12:4 @ For just as there are in the one human body many parts, and these parts have not all the same function;

wmth@Romans:12:5 @ so collectively we form one body in Christ, while individually we are linked to one another as its members.

wmth@Romans:12:10 @ As for brotherly love, be affectionate to one another; in matters of worldly honour, yield to one another.

wmth@Romans:12:17 @ Pay back to no man evil for evil.

wmth@Romans:12:19 @ Do not be revengeful, my dear friends, but give way before anger; for it is written, says the Lord.«

wmth@Romans:12:20 @ On the contrary, therefore,

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:13:2 @ Therefore the man who rebels against his ruler is resisting God's will; and those who thus resist will bring punishment upon themselves.

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:13:4 @ For he is God's servant for your benefit. But if you do what is wrong, be afraid. He does not wear the sword to no purpose: he is God's servant–an administrator to inflict punishment upon evil-doers.

wmth@Romans:13:5 @ We must obey therefore, not only in order to escape punishment, but also for conscience' sake.

wmth@Romans:13:6 @ Why, this is really the reason you pay taxes; for tax-gatherers are ministers of God, devoting their energies to this very work.

wmth@Romans:13:8 @ Owe nothing to any one except mutual love; for he who loves his fellow man has satisfied the demands of Law.

wmth@Romans:13:9 @ For the precepts, and all other precepts, are summed up in this one command,

wmth@Romans:13:10 @ Love avoids doing any wrong to one's fellow man, and is therefore complete obedience to Law.

wmth@Romans:13:11 @ Carry out these injunctions because you know the critical period at which we are living, and that it is now high time, to rouse yourselves from sleep; for salvation is now nearer to us than when we first became believers.

wmth@Romans:13:12 @ The night is far advanced, and day is about to dawn. We must therefore lay aside the deeds of darkness, and clothe ourselves with the armour of Light.

wmth@Romans:13:14 @ On the contrary, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for gratifying your earthly cravings.

wmth@Romans:14:1 @ I now pass to another subject. Receive as a friend a man whose faith is weak, but not for the purpose of deciding mere matters of opinion.

wmth@Romans:14:3 @ Let not him who eats certain food look down upon him who abstains from it, nor him who abstains from it find fault with him who eats it; for God has received both of them.

wmth@Romans:14:4 @ Who are you that you should find fault with the servant of another? Whether he stands or falls is a matter which concerns his own master. But stand he will; for the Master can give him power to stand.

wmth@Romans:14:6 @ He who regards the day as sacred, so regards it for the Master's sake; and he who eats certain food eats it for the Master's sake, for he gives thanks to God; and he who refrains from eating it refrains for the Master's sake, and he also gives thanks to God.

wmth@Romans:14:7 @ For not one of us lives to himself, and not one dies to himself.

wmth@Romans:14:9 @ For this was the purpose of Christ's dying and coming to life–namely that He might be Lord both of the dead and the living.

wmth@Romans:14:10 @ But you, why do you find fault with your brother? Or you, why do you look down upon your brother? We shall all stand before God to be judged;

wmth@Romans:14:11 @ for it is written, says the Lord,

wmth@Romans:14:13 @ Therefore let us no longer judge one another; but, instead of that, you should come to this judgement–that we must not put a stumbling-block in our brother's path, nor anything to trip him up.

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:14:16 @ Therefore do not let the boon which is yours in common be exposed to reproach.

wmth@Romans:14:17 @ For the Kingdom of God does not consist of eating and drinking, but of right conduct, peace and joy, through the Holy Spirit;

wmth@Romans:14:19 @ Therefore let us aim at whatever makes for peace and mutual upbuilding of character.

wmth@Romans:14:20 @ Do not for food's sake be throwing down God's work. All food is pure; but a man is in the wrong if his food is a snare to others.

wmth@Romans:14:21 @ The right course is to forego eating meat or drinking wine or doing anything that tends to your brother's fall.

wmth@Romans:14:22 @ As for you and your faith, keep your faith to yourself in the presence of God. The man is to be congratulated who does not pronounce judgement on himself in what his actions sanction.

wmth@Romans:14:23 @ But he who has misgivings and yet eats meat is condemned already, because his conduct is not based on faith; for all conduct not based on faith is sinful.

wmth@Romans:15:1 @ As for us who are strong, our duty is to bear with the weaknesses of those who are not strong, and not seek our own pleasure.

wmth@Romans:15:3 @ For even the Christ did not seek His own pleasure. His principle was,

wmth@Romans:15:4 @ For all that was written of old has been written for our instruction, so that we may always have hope through the power of endurance and the encouragement which the Scriptures afford.

wmth@Romans:15:7 @ Habitually therefore give one another a friendly reception, just as Christ also has received you, and thus promote the glory of God.

wmth@Romans:15:8 @ My meaning is that Christ has become a servant to the people of Israel in vindication of God's truthfulness –in showing how sure are the promises made to our forefathers–

wmth@Romans:15:17 @ I can therefore glory in Christ Jesus concerning the work for God in which I am engaged.

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:15:20 @ making it my ambition, however, not to tell the Good News where Christ's name was already known, for fear I should be building on another man's foundation.

wmth@Romans:15:23 @ But now, as there is no more unoccupied ground in this part of the world, and I have for years past been eager to pay you a visit,

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:15:26 @ for Macedonia and Greece have kindly contributed a certain sum in relief of the poor among God's people, in Jerusalem.

wmth@Romans:15:27 @ Yes, they have kindly done this, and, in fact, it was a debt they owed them. For seeing that the Gentiles have been admitted in to partnership with the Jews in their spiritual blessings, they in turn are under an obligation to render sacred service to the Jews in temporal things.

wmth@Romans:15:28 @ So after discharging this duty, and making sure that these kind gifts reach those for whom they are intended, I shall start for Spain, passing through Rome on my way there;

wmth@Romans:16:2 @ that you may receive her as a fellow Christian in a manner worthy of God's people, and may assist her in any matter in which she may need help. For she has indeed been a kind friend to many, including myself.

wmth@Romans:16:4 @ friends who have endangered their own lives for mine. I am grateful to them, and not I alone, but all the Gentile Churches also.

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:16:19 @ Your fidelity to the truth is everywhere known. I rejoice over you, therefore, but I wish you to be wise as to what is good, and simple-minded as to what is evil.

wmth@Romans:16:20 @ And before long, God the giver of peace will crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you!

wmth@1Corinthians:1:4 @ I thank my God continually on your behalf for the grace of God bestowed on you in Christ Jesus–

wmth@1Corinthians:1:7 @ so that there is no gift of God in which you consciously come short while patiently waiting for the reappearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,

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:1:15 @ for fear people should say that you were baptized to be my adherents.

wmth@1Corinthians:1:18 @ For the Message of the Cross is foolishness to those who are on the way to perdition, but it is the power of God to those whom He is saving.

wmth@1Corinthians:1:19 @ For so it stands written,

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:1:26 @ For consider, brethren, God's call to you. Not many who are wise with merely human wisdom, not many of position and influence, not many of noble birth have been called.

wmth@1Corinthians:1:30 @ But you –and it is all God's doing– are in Christ Jesus: He has become for us a wisdom which is from God, consisting of righteousness and sanctification and deliverance;

wmth@1Corinthians:2:1 @ And as for myself, brethren, when I came to you, it was not with surpassing power of eloquence or earthly wisdom that I came, announcing to you that which God had commanded me to bear witness to.

wmth@1Corinthians:2:2 @ For I determined to be utterly ignorant, when among you, of everything except of Jesus Christ, and of Him as having been crucified.

wmth@1Corinthians:2:7 @ But in dealing with truths hitherto kept secret we speak of God's wisdom–that hidden wisdom which, before the world began, God pre-destined, so that it should result in glory to us;

wmth@1Corinthians:2:8 @ a wisdom which not one of the leaders of the present age possesses, for if they had possessed it, they would never have crucified the Lord of glory.

wmth@1Corinthians:2:10 @ For us, however, God has drawn aside the veil through the teaching of the Spirit; for the Spirit searches everything, including the depths of the divine nature.

wmth@1Corinthians:2:11 @ For, among human beings, who knows a man's inner thoughts except the man's own spirit within him? In the same way, also, only God's Spirit is acquainted with God's inner thoughts.

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:2:16 @ For But have the mind of Christ.

wmth@1Corinthians:3:1 @ And as for myself, brethren, I found it impossible to speak to you as spiritual men. It had to be as to worldlings–mere babes in Christ.

wmth@1Corinthians:3:2 @ I fed you with milk and not with solid food, since for this you were not yet strong enough. And even now you are not strong enough:

wmth@1Corinthians:3:3 @ you are still unspiritual. For so long as jealousy and strife continue among you, can it be denied that you are unspiritual and are living and acting like mere men of the world?

wmth@1Corinthians:3:4 @ For when some one says, »I belong to Paul,« and another says, »I belong to Apollos,« is not this the way men of the world speak?

wmth@1Corinthians:3:5 @ What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? They are just God's servants, through whose efforts, and as the Lord granted power to each, you accepted the faith.

wmth@1Corinthians:3:9 @ Apollos and I are simply fellow workers for and with God, and you are field– building.

wmth@1Corinthians:3:11 @ For no one can lay any other foundation in addition to that which is already laid, namely Jesus Christ.

wmth@1Corinthians:3:13 @ the true character of each individual's work will become manifest. For the day of Christ will disclose it, because that day is soon to come upon us clothed in fire, and as for the quality of every one's work– the fire is the thing which will test it.

wmth@1Corinthians:3:17 @ If any one is marring the Sanctuary of God, him will God mar; for the Sanctuary of God is holy, which you all are.

wmth@1Corinthians:3:19 @ This world's wisdom is »foolishness« in God's sight; for it is written,

wmth@1Corinthians:3:22 @ For everything belongs to you –be it Paul or Apollos or Peter, the world or life or death, things present or future– everything belongs to you;

wmth@1Corinthians:4:1 @ As for us Apostles, let any one take this view of us–we are Christ's officers, and stewards of God's secret truths.

wmth@1Corinthians:4:4 @ Though I am not conscious of having been in any way unfaithful, yet I do not for that reason stand acquitted; but He whose scrutiny I must undergo is the Lord.

wmth@1Corinthians:4:5 @ Therefore form no premature judgements, but wait until the Lord returns. He will both bring to light the secrets of darkness and will openly disclose the motives that have been in people's hearts; and then the praise which each man deserves will come to him from God.

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:4:8 @ Every one of you already has all that heart can desire; already you have grown rich; without waiting for us, you have ascended your thrones! Yes indeed, would to God that you had ascended your thrones, that we also might reign with you!

wmth@1Corinthians:4:9 @ God, it seems to me, has exhibited us Apostles last of all, as men condemned to death; for we have come to be a spectacle to all creation–alike to angels and to men.

wmth@1Corinthians:4:10 @ We, for Christ's sake, are labeled as »foolish«; you, as Christians, are men of shrewd intelligence. We are mere weaklings: you are strong. You are in high repute: we are outcasts.

wmth@1Corinthians:4:15 @ For even if you were to have ten thousand spiritual instructors–for all that you could not have several fathers. It is I who in Christ Jesus became your father through the Good News.

wmth@1Corinthians:4:16 @ I entreat you therefore to become like me.

wmth@1Corinthians:4:17 @ For this reason I have sent Timothy to you. Spiritually he is my dearly-loved and faithful child. He will remind you of my habits as a Christian teacher–the manner in which I teach everywhere in every Church.

wmth@1Corinthians:4:20 @ For Apostolic authority is not a thing of words, but of power.

wmth@1Corinthians:5:1 @ It is actually reported that there is fornication among you, and of a kind unheard of even among the Gentiles–a man has his father's wife!

wmth@1Corinthians:5:3 @ I for my part, present with you in spirit although absent in body, have already, as though I were present, judged him who has so acted.

wmth@1Corinthians:5:5 @ I have handed over such a man to Satan for the destruction of his body, that his spirit may be saved on the day of the Lord Jesus.

wmth@1Corinthians:5:7 @ Get rid of the old yeast so that you may be dough of a new kind; for in fact you free from corruption. For our Passover Lamb has already been offered in sacrifice–even Christ.

wmth@1Corinthians:5:8 @ Therefore let us keep our festival not with old yeast nor with the yeast of what is evil and mischievous, but with bread free from yeast–the bread of transparent sincerity and of truth.

wmth@1Corinthians:5:9 @ I wrote to you in that letter that you were not to associate with fornicators;

wmth@1Corinthians:5:10 @ not that in this world you are to keep wholly aloof from such as they, any more than from people who are avaricious and greedy of gain, or from worshippers of idols. For that would mean that you would be compelled to go out of the world altogether.

wmth@1Corinthians:5:11 @ But what I meant was that you were not to associate with any one bearing the name of »brother,« if he was addicted to fornication or avarice or idol-worship or abusive language or hard-drinking or greed of gain. With such a man you ought not even to eat.

wmth@1Corinthians:5:12 @ For what business of mine is it to judge outsiders? Is it not for you to judge those who are within the Church

wmth@1Corinthians:6:1 @ If one of you has a grievance against an opponent, does he dare to go to law before irreligious men and not before God's people?

wmth@1Corinthians:6:2 @ Do you not know that God's people will sit in judgement upon the world? And if you are the court before which the world is to be judged, are you unfit to deal with these petty matters?

wmth@1Corinthians:6:4 @ If therefore you have things belonging to this life which need to be decided, is it men who are absolutely nothing in the Church–is it whom you make your judges?

wmth@1Corinthians:6:6 @ but brother goes to law with brother, and that before unbelievers?

wmth@1Corinthians:6:9 @ Do you not know that unrighteous men will not inherit God's Kingdom? Cherish no delusion here. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor any who are guilty of unnatural crime,

wmth@1Corinthians:6:13 @ Food of all kinds is meant for the stomach, and the stomach is meant for food, and God will cause both of them to perish. Yet the body does not exist for the purpose of fornication, but for the Master's service, and the Master exists for the body;

wmth@1Corinthians:6:16 @ Or do you not know that a man who has to do with a prostitute is one with her in body? For God says,

wmth@1Corinthians:6:18 @ Flee from fornication. Any other sin that a human being commits lies outside the body; but he who commits fornication sins against his own body.

wmth@1Corinthians:6:20 @ And you are not your own, for you have been redeemed at infinite cost. Therefore glorify God in your bodies.

wmth@1Corinthians:7:1 @ I now deal with the subjects mentioned in your letter. It is well for a man to abstain altogether from marriage.

wmth@1Corinthians:7:2 @ But because there is so much fornication every man should have a wife of his own, and every woman should have a husband.

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:7:8 @ But I tell the unmarried, and women who are widows, that it is well for them to remain as I am.

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:7:14 @ For, in such cases, the unbelieving husband has become –and is– holy through union with a Christian woman, and the unbelieving wife is holy through union with a Christian brother. Otherwise your children would be unholy, but in reality they have a place among God's people.

wmth@1Corinthians:7:16 @ For what assurance have you, O woman, as to whether you will save your husband? Or what assurance have you, O man, as to whether you will save your wife?

wmth@1Corinthians:7:22 @ For a Christian, if he was a slave when called, is the Lord's freed man, and in the same way a free man, if called, becomes the slave of Christ.

wmth@1Corinthians:7:26 @ I think then that, taking into consideration the distress which is now upon us, it is well for a man to remain as he is.

wmth@1Corinthians:7:27 @ Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek to get free. Are you free from the marriage bond? Do not seek for a wife.

wmth@1Corinthians:7:28 @ Yet if you marry, you have not sinned; and if a maiden marries, she has not sinned. Such people, however, will have outward trouble. But I am for sparing you.

wmth@1Corinthians:7:29 @ Yet of this I warn you, brethren: the time has been shortened–so that henceforth those who have wives should be as though they had none,

wmth@1Corinthians:7:31 @ and those who use the world as not using it to the full. For the world as it now exists is passing away.

wmth@1Corinthians:7:35 @ Thus much I say in your own interest; not to lay a trap for you, but to help towards what is becoming, and enable you to wait on the Lord without distraction.

wmth@1Corinthians:8:5 @ For if so-called gods do exist, either in Heaven or on earth –and in fact there are many such gods and many such lords–

wmth@1Corinthians:8:6 @ yet have but one God, the Father, who is the source of all things and for whose service we exist, and but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom we and all things exist.

wmth@1Corinthians:8:7 @ But all believers do not recognize these facts. Some, from force of habit in relation to the idol, even now eat idol sacrifices as such, and their consciences, being but weak, are polluted.

wmth@1Corinthians:8:10 @ For if any one were to see you, who know the real truth of this matter, reclining at table in an idol's temple, would not his conscience (supposing him to be a weak believer) be emboldened to eat the food which has been sacrificed to the idol?

wmth@1Corinthians:8:11 @ Why, your knowledge becomes the ruin of the weak believer–your brother, for whom Christ died!

wmth@1Corinthians:8:13 @ Therefore if what I eat causes my brother to fall, never again to the end of my days will I touch any kind of animal food, for fear I should cause my brother to fall.

wmth@1Corinthians:9:2 @ If to other men I am not an Apostle, yet at any rate I am one to you; for your very existence as a Christian Church is the seal of my Apostleship.

wmth@1Corinthians:9:13 @ Do you not know that those who perform the sacred rites have their food from the sacred place, and that those who serve at the altar all alike share with the altar?

wmth@1Corinthians:9:15 @ But I, for my part, have not used, and do not use, my full rights in any of these things. Nor do I now write with that object so far as I myself am concerned, for I would rather die than have anybody make this boast of mine an empty one.

wmth@1Corinthians:9:16 @ If I go on preaching the Good News, that is nothing for me to boast of; for the necessity is imposed upon me; and alas for me, if I fail to preach it!

wmth@1Corinthians:9:23 @ And I do everything for the sake of the Good News, that I may share with my hearers in its benefits.

wmth@1Corinthians:9:25 @ But every competitor in an athletic contest practices abstemiousness in all directions. They indeed do this for the sake of securing a perishable wreath, but we for the sake of securing one that will not perish.

wmth@1Corinthians:10:4 @ and all drank the same spiritual drink; for they long drank the water that flowed from the spiritual rock that went with them–and that rock was the Christ.

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

wmth@1Corinthians:10:7 @ And you must not be worshippers of idols, as some of them were. For it is written,

wmth@1Corinthians:10:8 @ Nor may we be fornicators, like some of them who committed fornication and on a single day 23,000 of them fell dead.

wmth@1Corinthians:10:14 @ Therefore, my dear friends, avoid all connection with the worship of idols.

wmth@1Corinthians:11:7 @ For a man ought not to have a veil on his head, since he is the image and glory of God; while woman is the glory of man.

wmth@1Corinthians:11:9 @ For man was not created for woman's sake, but woman for man's.

wmth@1Corinthians:11:12 @ For just as woman originates from man, so also man comes into existence through woman, but everything springs originally from God.

wmth@1Corinthians:16:11 @ Therefore let no one slight him, but all of you should help him forward in peace to join me; for I am waiting for him and others of the brethren.

wmth@1Corinthians:16:12 @ As for our brother Apollos, I have repeatedly urged him to accompany the brethren who are coming to you: but he is quite resolved not to do so at present. He will come, however, when he has a good opportunity.

wmth@1Corinthians:16:17 @ It is a joy to me that Stephanas, Fortunatus and Achaicus have now arrived, because what was wanting so far as you are concerned they have supplied.

wmth@2Corinthians:1:3 @ Heartfelt thanks be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ–the Father who is full of compassion and the God who gives all comfort.

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:1:5 @ For just as we have more than our share of suffering for the Christ, so also through the Christ we have more than our share of comfort.

wmth@2Corinthians:1:6 @ But if, on the one hand, we are enduring affliction, it is for your comfort and salvation; and if, on the other hand, we are receiving comfort, it is for your comfort which is produced within you through your patient fortitude under the same sufferings as those which we also are enduring.

wmth@2Corinthians:1:7 @ And our hope for you is stedfast; for we know that as you are partners with us in the sufferings, so you are also partners in the comfort.

wmth@2Corinthians:1:8 @ For as for our troubles which came upon us in the province of Asia, we would have you know, brethren, that we were exceedingly weighed down, and felt overwhelmed, so that we renounced all hope even of life.

wmth@2Corinthians:1:11 @ while you on your part lend us your aid in entreaty for us, so that from many lips thanksgivings may rise on our behalf for the boon granted to us at the intercession of many.

wmth@2Corinthians:1:12 @ For the reason for our boasting is this–the testimony of our own conscience that it was in holiness and with pure motives before God, and in reliance not on worldly wisdom but on the gracious help of God, that we have conducted ourselves in the world, and above all in our relations with you.

wmth@2Corinthians:1:13 @ For we are writing to you nothing different from what we have written before, or from what indeed you already recognize as truth and will, I trust, recognize as such to the very end;

wmth@2Corinthians:1:14 @ just as some few of you have recognized us as your reason for boasting, even as you will be ours, on the day of Jesus our Lord.

wmth@2Corinthians:1:15 @ It was because I entertained this confidence that I intended to visit you before going elsewhere –so that you might receive a twofold proof of God's favour–

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:1:17 @ Did I display any vacillation or caprice in this? Or the purposes which I form–do I form them on worldly principles, now crying »Yes, yes,« and now »No, no«?

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:1:20 @ For all the promises of God, whatever their number, have their confirmation in Him; and for this reason through Him also our »Amen« acknowledges their truth and promotes the glory of God through our faith.

wmth@2Corinthians:1:22 @ and He has also set His seal upon us, and has put His Spirit into our hearts as a pledge and foretaste of future blessing.

wmth@2Corinthians:1:23 @ But as for me, as my soul shall answer for it, I appeal to God as my witness, that it was to spare you pain that I gave up my visit to Corinth.

wmth@2Corinthians:1:24 @ Not that we want to lord it over you in respect of your faith –we do, however, desire to help your joy– for in the matter of your faith you are standing firm.

wmth@2Corinthians:2:2 @ For if I of all men give you pain, who then is there to gladden my heart, but the very persons to whom I give pain?

wmth@2Corinthians:2:4 @ For with many tears I write to you, and in deep suffering and depression of spirit, not in order to grieve you, but in the hope of showing you how brimful my heart is with love for you.

wmth@2Corinthians:2:5 @ Now if any one has caused sorrow, it has been caused not so much to me, as in some degree –for I have no wish to exaggerate– to all of you.

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:2:8 @ I beg you therefore fully to reinstate him in your love.

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:2:10 @ When you forgive a man an offence I also forgive it; for in fact what I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, has always been for your sakes in the presence of Christ,

wmth@2Corinthians:2:11 @ for fear Satan should gain an advantage over us. For we are not ignorant of his devices.

wmth@2Corinthians:2:12 @ Now when I came into the Troad to spread there the Good News about the Christ, even though in the Lord's providence a door stood open before me,

wmth@2Corinthians:2:13 @ yet, obtaining no relief for my spirit because I did not find our brother Titus, I bade them farewell and went on into Macedonia.

wmth@2Corinthians:2:15 @ For we are a fragrance of Christ grateful to God in those whom He is saving and in those who are perishing;

wmth@2Corinthians:2:16 @ to the last-named an odor of death predictive of death, and to the others an odor of life predictive of life. And for such service as this who is competent?

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:3:3 @ For all can see that you are a letter of Christ entrusted to our care, and written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the ever-living God–and not on tablets of stone, but on human hearts as tablets.

wmth@2Corinthians:3:6 @ It is He also who has made us competent to serve Him in connexion with a new Covenant, which is not a written code but a Spirit; for the written code inflicts death, but the Spirit gives Life.

wmth@2Corinthians:3:9 @ For if the service which pronounces doom had glory, far more glorious still is the service which tells of righteousness.

wmth@2Corinthians:3:10 @ For, in fact, that which was once resplendent in glory has no glory at all in this respect, that it pales before the glory which surpasses it.

wmth@2Corinthians:3:11 @ For if that which was to be abolished came with glory, much more is that which is permanent arrayed in glory.

wmth@2Corinthians:3:12 @ Therefore, cherishing a hope like this, we speak without reserve, and we do not imitate Moses,

wmth@2Corinthians:3:14 @ Nay, their minds were made dull; for to this very day during the reading of the book of the ancient Covenant, the same veil remains unlifted, because it is only in Christ that it is to be abolished.

wmth@2Corinthians:3:18 @ And all of us, with unveiled faces, reflecting like bright mirrors the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same likeness, from one degree of radiant holiness to another, even as derived from the Lord the Spirit.

wmth@2Corinthians:4:1 @ Therefore, being engaged in this service and being mindful of the mercy which has been shown us, we are not cowards.

wmth@2Corinthians:4:5 @ (For we do not proclaim ourselves, but we proclaim Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your bondservants for the sake of Jesus.)

wmth@2Corinthians:4:6 @ For God who said, »Out of darkness let light shine,« is He who has shone in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God's glory, which is radiant on the face of Christ.

wmth@2Corinthians:4:11 @ For we, alive though we are, are continually surrendering ourselves to death for the sake of Jesus, so that in this mortal nature of ours it may also be clearly shown that Jesus lives.

wmth@2Corinthians:4:13 @ But possessing the same Spirit of faith as he who wrote, we also believe, and therefore we speak.

wmth@2Corinthians:4:14 @ For we know that He who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead will raise us also to be with Jesus, and will cause both us and you to stand in His own presence.

wmth@2Corinthians:4:15 @ For everything is for your sakes, in order that grace, being more richly bestowed because of the thanksgivings of the increased number, may more and more promote the glory of God.

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:4:17 @ For this our light and transitory burden of suffering is achieving for us a preponderating, yes, a vastly preponderating, and eternal weight of glory;

wmth@2Corinthians:4:18 @ while we look not at things seen, but things unseen; for things seen are temporary, but things unseen are eternal.

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:5:2 @ For in this one we sigh, because we long to put on over it our dwelling which comes from Heaven–

wmth@2Corinthians:5:4 @ Yes, we who are in this tent certainly do sigh under our burdens, for we do not wish to lay aside that with which we are now clothed, but to put on more, so that our mortality may be absorbed in Life.

wmth@2Corinthians:5:5 @ And He who formed us with this very end in view is God, who has given us His Spirit as a pledge and foretaste of that bliss.

wmth@2Corinthians:5:6 @ We have therefore a cheerful confidence. We know that while we are at home in the body we are banished from the Lord;

wmth@2Corinthians:5:7 @ for we are living a life of faith, and not one of sight.

wmth@2Corinthians:5:9 @ And for this reason also we make it our ambition, whether at home or in exile, to please Him perfectly.

wmth@2Corinthians:5:10 @ For we must all of us appear before Christ's judgement-seat in our true characters, in order that each may then receive an award for his actions in this life, in accordance with what he has done, whether it be good or whether it be worthless.

wmth@2Corinthians:5:11 @ Therefore, because we realize how greatly the Lord is to be feared, we are endeavouring to win men over, and God recognizes what our motives are, and I hope that you, in your hearts, recognize them too.

wmth@2Corinthians:5:12 @ We are not again commending ourselves to your favour, but are furnishing you with a ground of boasting on our behalf, so that you may have a reply ready for those with whom superficial appearances are everything and sincerity of heart counts for nothing.

wmth@2Corinthians:5:13 @ For if we have been beside ourselves, it has been for God's glory; or if we are now in our right senses, it is in order to be of service to you.

wmth@2Corinthians:5:14 @ For the love of Christ overmasters us, the conclusion at which we have arrived being this–that One having died for all, His death was their death,

wmth@2Corinthians:5:15 @ and that He died for all in order that the living may no longer live to themselves, but to Him who died for them and rose again.

wmth@2Corinthians:5:16 @ Therefore for the future we know no one simply as a man. Even if we have known Christ as a man, yet now we do so no longer.

wmth@2Corinthians:5:20 @ On Christ's behalf therefore we come as ambassadors, God, as it were, making entreaty through our lips: we, on Christ's behalf, beseech men to be reconciled to God.

wmth@2Corinthians:5:21 @ He has made Him who knew nothing of sin to be sin for us, in order that in Him we may become the righteousness of God.

wmth@2Corinthians:6:2 @ For He says, Now is the time of loving welcome! Now is the day of salvation!

wmth@2Corinthians:6:3 @ We endeavour to give people no cause for stumbling in anything, lest the work we are doing should fall into discredit.

wmth@2Corinthians:6:14 @ Do not come into close association with unbelievers, like oxen yoked with asses. For what is there in common between righteousness and lawlessness? Or what partnership has light with darkness?

wmth@2Corinthians:6:16 @ And what compact has the Temple of God with idols? For are the Temple of the ever-living God; as God has said,

wmth@2Corinthians:6:17 @ Therefore,

wmth@2Corinthians:7:1 @ Having therefore these promises, beloved friends, let us purify ourselves from all defilement of body and of spirit, and secure perfect holiness through the fear of God.

wmth@2Corinthians:7:2 @ Make room for us in your hearts. There is not one of you whom we have wronged, not one to whom we have done harm, not one over whom we have gained any selfish advantage.

wmth@2Corinthians:7:3 @ I do not say this to imply blame, for, as I have already said, you have such a place in our hearts that we would die with you or live with you.

wmth@2Corinthians:7:4 @ I have great confidence in you: very loudly do I boast of you. I am filled with comfort: my heart overflows with joy amid all our affliction.

wmth@2Corinthians:7:5 @ For even after our arrival in Macedonia we could get no relief such as human nature craves. We were greatly harassed; there were conflicts without and fears within.

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:7:9 @ Now I rejoice, not in your grief, but because the grief led to repentance; for you sorrowed with a godly sorrow, which prevented you from receiving injury from us in any respect.

wmth@2Corinthians:7:10 @ For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, a repentance not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world finally produces death.

wmth@2Corinthians:7:11 @ For mark the effects of this very thing –your having sorrowed with a godly sorrow– what earnestness it has called forth in you, what eagerness to clear yourselves, what indignation, what alarm, what longing affection, what jealousy, what meting out of justice! You have completely wiped away reproach from yourselves in the matter.

wmth@2Corinthians:7:12 @ Therefore, though I wrote to you, it was not to punish the offender, nor to secure justice for him who had suffered the wrong, but it was chiefly in order that your earnest feeling on our behalf might become manifest to yourselves in the sight of God.

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:7:14 @ For however I may have boasted to him about you, I have no reason to feel ashamed; but as we have in all respects spoken the truth to you, so also our boasting to Titus about you has turned out to be the truth.

wmth@2Corinthians:8:3 @ For I can testify that to the utmost of their power, and even beyond their power, they have of their own free will given help.

wmth@2Corinthians:8:9 @ For you know the condescending goodness of our Lord Jesus Christ–how for your sakes He became poor, though He was rich, in order that you through His poverty might grow rich.

wmth@2Corinthians:8:10 @ But in this matter I give you an opinion; for my doing this helps forward your own intentions, seeing that not only have you begun operations, but a year ago you already had the desire to do so.

wmth@2Corinthians:8:12 @ For, assuming the earnest willingness, the gift is acceptable according to whatever a man has, and not according to what he has not.

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:8:17 @ for Titus welcomed our request, and, being thoroughly in earnest, comes to you of his own free will.

wmth@2Corinthians:8:18 @ And we send with him the brother whose praises for his earnestness in proclaiming the Good News are heard throughout all the Churches.

wmth@2Corinthians:8:20 @ For against one thing we are on our guard–I mean against blame being thrown upon us in respect to these large and liberal contributions which are under our charge.

wmth@2Corinthians:8:21 @ For we seek not only God's approval of our integrity, but man's also.

wmth@2Corinthians:8:23 @ As for Titus, remember that he is a partner with me, and is my comrade in my labours for you. And as for our brethren, remember that they are delegates from the Churches, and are men in whom Christ is glorified.

wmth@2Corinthians:8:24 @ Exhibit therefore to the Churches a proof of your love, and a justification of our boasting to these brethren about you.

wmth@2Corinthians:9:1 @ As to the services which are being rendered to God's people, it is really unnecessary for me to write to you.

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:9:4 @ for fear that, if any Macedonians come with me and find you unprepared, we –not to say you yourselves– should be put to the blush in respect to this confidence.

wmth@2Corinthians:9:5 @ I have thought it absolutely necessary therefore to request these brethren to visit you before I myself come, and to make sure beforehand that the gift of love which you have already promised may be ready as a gift of love, and may not seem to have been something which I have extorted from you.

wmth@2Corinthians:9:6 @ But do not forget that he who sows with a niggardly hand will also reap a niggardly crop, and that he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.

wmth@2Corinthians:9:8 @ And God is able to bestow every blessing on you in abundance, so that richly enjoying all sufficiency at all times, you may have ample means for all good works.

wmth@2Corinthians:9:10 @ And God who continually supplies seed for the sower and bread for eating, will supply you with seed and multiply it, and will cause your almsgiving to yield a plentiful harvest.

wmth@2Corinthians:9:12 @ For the service rendered in this sacred gift not only helps to relieve the wants of God's people, but it is also rich in its results and awakens a chorus of thanksgiving to God.

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:9:15 @ Thanks be to God for His unspeakably precious gift!

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:10:3 @ For, though we are still living in the world, it is no worldly warfare that we are waging.

wmth@2Corinthians:10:4 @ The weapons with which we fight are not human weapons, but are mighty for God in overthrowing strong fortresses.

wmth@2Corinthians:10:5 @ For we overthrow arrogant `reckonings,' and every stronghold that towers high in defiance of the knowledge of God, and we carry off every thought as if into slavery–into subjection to Christ;

wmth@2Corinthians:10:10 @ For they say »His letters are authoritative and forcible, but his personal presence is unimpressive, and as for eloquence, he has none.«

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:10:14 @ For there is no undue stretch of authority on our part, as though it did not extend to you. We pressed on even to Corinth, and were the first to proclaim to you the Good News of the Christ.

wmth@2Corinthians:10:15 @ We do not exceed our due limits, and take credit for other men's labours; but we entertain the hope that, as your faith grows, we shall gain promotion among you –still keeping within our own sphere– promotion to a larger field of labour,

wmth@2Corinthians:10:18 @ For it is not the man that commends himself who is really approved, but he whom the Lord commends.

wmth@2Corinthians:11:2 @ I am jealous over you with God's own jealousy. For I have betrothed you to Christ to present you to Him like a faithful bride to her one husband.

wmth@2Corinthians:11:7 @ Is it a sin that I abased myself in order for you to be exalted, in that I proclaimed God's Good News to you without fee or reward?

wmth@2Corinthians:11:9 @ And when I was with you and my resources failed, there was no one to whom I became a burden –for the brethren when they came from Macedonia fully supplied my wants– and I kept myself from being in the least a burden to you, and will do so still.

wmth@2Corinthians:11:13 @ For men of this stamp are sham apostles, dishonest workmen, assuming the garb of Apostles of Christ.

wmth@2Corinthians:11:15 @ It is therefore no great thing for his servants also to disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will be in accordance with their actions.

wmth@2Corinthians:11:16 @ To return to what I was saying. Let no one suppose that I am foolish. Or if you must, at any rate make allowance for me as being foolish, in order that I, as well as they, may boast a little.

wmth@2Corinthians:11:18 @ Since many boast for merely human reasons, I too will boast.

wmth@2Corinthians:11:20 @ For you tolerate it, if any one enslaves you, lives at your expense, makes off with your property, gives himself airs, or strikes you on the face.

wmth@2Corinthians:11:21 @ I use the language of self-disparagement, as though I were admitting our own feebleness. Yet for whatever reason any one is `courageous' –I speak in mere folly– I also am courageous.

wmth@2Corinthians:11:24 @ From the Jews I five times have received forty lashes all but one.

wmth@2Corinthians:11:25 @ Three times I have been beaten with Roman rods, once I have been stoned, three times I have been shipwrecked, once for full four and twenty hours I was floating on the open sea.

wmth@2Corinthians:11:28 @ And besides other things, which I pass over, there is that which presses on me daily–my anxiety for all the Churches.

wmth@2Corinthians:12:6 @ If however I should choose to boast, I should not be a fool for so doing, for I should be speaking the truth. But I forbear, lest any one should be led to estimate me more highly than what his own eyes attest, or more highly than what he hears from my lips.

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:12:8 @ As for this, three times have I besought the Lord to rid me of him;

wmth@2Corinthians:12:9 @ but His reply has been, »My grace suffices for you, for power matures in weakness.« Most gladly therefore will I boast of my infirmities rather than complain of them–in order that Christ's power may overshadow me.

wmth@2Corinthians:12:10 @ In fact I take pleasure in infirmities, in the bearing of insults, in distress, in persecutions, in grievous difficulties–for Christ's sake; for when I am weak, then I am strong.

wmth@2Corinthians:12:11 @ It is foolish of me to write all this, but you have compelled me to do so. Why, you ought to have been my vindicators; for in no respect have I been inferior to these superlatively great Apostles, even though in myself I am nothing.

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:12:13 @ In what respect, therefore, have you been worse dealt with than other Churches, except that I myself never hung as a dead weight upon you? Forgive the injustice I thus did you!

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:12:15 @ And as for me, most gladly will I spend all I have and be utterly spent for your salvation.

wmth@2Corinthians:12:20 @ For I am afraid that perhaps when I come I may not find you to be what I desire, and that you may find me to be what you do not desire; that perhaps there may be contention, jealousy, bitter feeling, party spirit, ill-natured talk, backbiting, undue eulogy, unrest;

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:13:2 @ Those who cling to their old sins, and indeed all of you, I have forewarned and still forewarn (as I did on my second visit when present, so I do now, though absent) that, when I come again, I shall not spare you;

wmth@2Corinthians:13:4 @ For though it is true that He was crucified through weakness, yet He now lives through the power of God. We also are weak, sharing His weakness, but with Him we shall be full of life to deal with you through the power of God.

wmth@2Corinthians:13:8 @ For we have no power against the truth, but only for the furtherance of the truth;

wmth@2Corinthians:13:9 @ and it is a joy to us when we are powerless, but you are strong. This we also pray for–the perfecting of your characters.

wmth@2Corinthians:13:10 @ For this reason I write thus while absent, that when present I may not have to act severely in the exercise of the authority which the Lord has given me for building up, and not for pulling down.

wmth@Galatians:1:4 @ who gave Himself to suffer for our sins in order to rescue us from the present wicked age in accordance with the will of our God and Father.

wmth@Galatians:1:7 @ For other »Good News« there is none; but there are some persons who are troubling you, and are seeking to distort the Good News concerning Christ.

wmth@Galatians:1:10 @ For is it man's favour or God's that I aspire to? Or am I seeking to please men? If I were still a man-pleaser, I should not be Christ's bondservant.

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:1:13 @ For you have heard of my early career in Judaism–how I furiously persecuted the Church of God, and made havoc of it;

wmth@Galatians:1:14 @ and how in devotion to Judaism I outstripped many men of my own age among my people, being far more zealous than they on behalf of the traditions of my forefathers.

wmth@Galatians:1:18 @ Then, three years later, I went up to Jerusalem to inquire for Peter, and I spent a fortnight with him.

wmth@Galatians:1:23 @ They only heard it said, »He who was once our persecutor is now telling the Good News of the faith of which he formerly made havoc.«

wmth@Galatians:2:5 @ But not for an hour did we give way and submit to them; in order that the Good News might continue with you in its integrity.

wmth@Galatians:2:8 @ for He who had been at work within Peter with a view to his Apostleship to the Jews had also been at work within me with a view to my Apostleship to the Gentiles–

wmth@Galatians:2:12 @ For until certain persons came from James he had been accustomed to eat with Gentiles; but as soon as these persons came, he withdrew and separated himself for fear of the Circumcision party.

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:2:14 @ As soon as I saw that they were not walking uprightly in the spirit of the Good News, I said to Peter, before them all, »If you, though you are a Jew, live as a Gentile does, and not as a Jew, how can you make the Gentiles follow Jewish customs?

wmth@Galatians:2:16 @ know that it is not through obedience to Law that a man can be declared free from guilt, but only through faith in Jesus Christ. We have therefore believed in Christ Jesus, for the purpose of being declared free from guilt, through faith in Christ and not through obedience to Law. For through obedience to Law no human being shall be declared free from guilt.

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:2:21 @ I do not nullify the grace of God; for if acquittal from guilt is obtainable through the Law, then Christ has died in vain.«

wmth@Galatians:3:7 @ Notice therefore that those who possess faith are true sons of Abraham.

wmth@Galatians:3:8 @ And the Scripture, foreseeing that in consequence of faith God would declare the nations to be free from guilt, sent beforehand the Good News to Abraham, saying,

wmth@Galatians:3:10 @ All who are depending upon their own obedience to the Law are under a curse, for it is written,

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:3:18 @ For if the inheritance comes through obedience to Law, it no longer comes because of a promise. But, as a matter of fact, God has granted it to Abraham in fulfilment of a 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:3:23 @ Before this faith came, we Jews were perpetual prisoners under the Law, living under restraints and limitations in preparation for the faith which was soon to be revealed.

wmth@Galatians:3:27 @ for all of you who have been baptized into Christ, have clothed yourselves with Christ.

wmth@Galatians:4:4 @ But, when the time was fully come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born subject to Law,

wmth@Galatians:4:7 @ Therefore you are no longer a slave, but a son; and if a son, then an heir also through God's own act.

wmth@Galatians:4:12 @ Brethren, become as I am, I beseech you; for I have also become like you. In no respect did you behave badly to me.

wmth@Galatians:4:15 @ I ask you, then, what has become of your self-congratulations? For I bear you witness that had it been possible you would have torn out your own eyes and have given them to me.

wmth@Galatians:4:19 @ you for whom I am again, as it were, undergoing the pains of childbirth, until Christ is fully formed within you.

wmth@Galatians:4:20 @ Would that I were with you and could change my tone, for I am perplexed about you.

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:4:24 @ All this is allegorical; for the women represent two Covenants. One has its origin on Mount Sinai, and bears children destined for slavery.

wmth@Galatians:4:25 @ This is Hagar; for the name Hagar stands for Mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to the present Jerusalem, which is in bondage together with her children.

wmth@Galatians:4:27 @ For it is written,

wmth@Galatians:4:31 @ Therefore, brethren, since we are not the children of a slave-girl, but of the free woman–

wmth@Galatians:5:5 @ have not, for through the Spirit we wait with longing hope for an acceptance with God which is to come through faith.

wmth@Galatians:5:6 @ For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision is of any importance; but only faith working through love.

wmth@Galatians:5:10 @ For my part I have strong confidence in you in the Lord that you will adopt my view of the matter. But the man –be he who he may– who is troubling you, will have to bear the full weight of the judgement to be pronounced on him.

wmth@Galatians:5:11 @ As for me, brethren, if I am still a preacher of circumcision, how is it that I am still suffering persecution? In that case the Cross has ceased to be a stumbling-block!

wmth@Galatians:5:13 @ You however, brethren, were called to freedom. Only do not turn your freedom into an excuse for giving way to your lower natures; but become bondservants to one another in a spirit of love.

wmth@Galatians:5:14 @ For the entire Law has been obeyed when you have kept the single precept, which says,

wmth@Galatians:5:17 @ For the cravings of the lower nature are opposed to those of the Spirit, and the cravings of the Spirit are opposed to those of the lower nature; because these are antagonistic to each other, so that you cannot do everything to which you are inclined.

wmth@Galatians:5:19 @ Now you know full well the doings of our lower natures. Fornication, impurity, indecency, idol-worship, sorcery;

wmth@Galatians:5:21 @ hard drinking, riotous feasting, and the like. And as to these I forewarn you, as I have already forewarned you, that those who are guilty of such things will have no share in the Kingdom of God.

wmth@Galatians:6:3 @ For if there is any one who thinks himself to be somebody when he is nobody, he is deluding himself.

wmth@Galatians:6:5 @ For every man will have to carry his own load.

wmth@Galatians:6:7 @ Do not deceive yourselves. God is not to be scoffed at. For whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

wmth@Galatians:6:9 @ Let us not abate our courage in doing what is right; for in due time we shall reap a reward, if we do not faint.

wmth@Galatians:6:10 @ So then, as we have opportunity, let us labour for the good of all, and especially of those who belong to the household of the faith.

wmth@Galatians:6:12 @ All who desire to display their zeal for external observances try to compel you to receive circumcision, but their real object is simply to escape being persecuted for the Cross of Christ.

wmth@Galatians:6:13 @ For these very men do not really keep the Law of Moses, but they would have you receive circumcision in order that they may glory in bodies.

wmth@Galatians:6:14 @ But as for me, God forbid that I should glory in anything except the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, upon which the world is crucified to me, and I am crucified to the world.

wmth@Galatians:6:15 @ For neither circumcision nor uncircumcision is of any importance; but only a renewed nature.

wmth@Galatians:6:17 @ From this time onward let no one trouble me; for, as for me, I bear, branded on my body, the scars of Jesus as my Master.

wmth@Ephesians:1:4 @ even as, in His love, He chose us as His own in Christ before the creation of the world, that we might be holy and without blemish in His presence.

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:1:7 @ It is in Him, and through the shedding of His blood, that we have our deliverance –the forgiveness of our offences– so abundant was God's grace,

wmth@Ephesians:1:10 @ for the government of the world when the times are ripe for it–the purpose which He has cherished in His own mind of restoring the whole creation to find its one Head in Christ; yes, things in Heaven and things on earth, to find their one Head in Him.

wmth@Ephesians:1:11 @ In Him we Jews have been made heirs, having been chosen beforehand in accordance with the intention of Him whose might carries out in everything the design of His own will,

wmth@Ephesians:1:14 @ that Spirit being a pledge and foretaste of our inheritance, in anticipation of its full redemption–the inheritance which He has purchased to be specially His for the extolling of His glory.

wmth@Ephesians:1:15 @ For this reason I too, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which prevails among you, and of your love for all God's people,

wmth@Ephesians:1:17 @ For I always beseech the God of our Lord Jesus Christ –the Father most glorious– to give you a spirit of wisdom and penetration through an intimate knowledge of Him,

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:2:8 @ 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:2:9 @ so that it may be impossible for any one to boast.

wmth@Ephesians:2:10 @ For we are God's own handiwork, created in Christ Jesus for good works which He has pre-destined us to practise.

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:2:14 @ For He is our peace–He who has made Jews and Gentiles one, and in His own human nature has broken down the hostile dividing wall,

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:2:19 @ You are therefore no longer mere foreigners or persons excluded from civil rights. On the contrary you share citizenship with God's people and are members of His family.

wmth@Ephesians:2:21 @ in union with whom the whole fabric, fitted and closely joined together, is growing so as to form a holy sanctuary in the Lord;

wmth@Ephesians:2:22 @ in whom you also are being built up together to become a fixed abode for God through the Spirit.

wmth@Ephesians:3:1 @ For this reason I Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles–

wmth@Ephesians:3:2 @ if, that is, you have heard of the work which God has graciously entrusted to me for your benefit,

wmth@Ephesians:3:6 @ I mean the truth that the Gentiles are joint heirs with us Jews, and that they form one body with us, and have the same interest as we have in the promise which has been made good in Christ Jesus through the Good News,

wmth@Ephesians:3:11 @ Such was the eternal purpose which He had formed in Christ Jesus our Lord,

wmth@Ephesians:3:13 @ Therefore I entreat you not to lose heart in the midst of my sufferings on your behalf, for they bring you honour.

wmth@Ephesians:3:14 @ For this reason, on bended knee I beseech the Father,

wmth@Ephesians:4:1 @ I, then, the prisoner for the Master's sake, entreat you to live and act as becomes those who have received the call that you have received–

wmth@Ephesians:4:8 @ For this reason Scripture says:

wmth@Ephesians:4:12 @ in order fully to equip His people for the work of serving –for the building up of Christ's body–

wmth@Ephesians:4:17 @ Therefore I warn you, and I implore you in the name of the Master, no longer to live as the Gentiles in their perverseness live,

wmth@Ephesians:4:22 @ to put away, in regard to your former mode of life, your original evil nature which is doomed to perish as befits its misleading impulses,

wmth@Ephesians:4:25 @ For this reason, laying aside falsehood, every one of you should speak the truth to his fellow man; for we are, as it were, parts of one another.

wmth@Ephesians:4:27 @ and do not leave room for the Devil.

wmth@Ephesians:4:29 @ Let no unwholesome words ever pass your lips, but let all your words be good for benefiting others according to the need of the moment, so that they may be a means of blessing to the hearers.

wmth@Ephesians:4:30 @ And beware of grieving the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you have been sealed in preparation for the day of Redemption.

wmth@Ephesians:4:32 @ On the contrary learn to be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, just as God in Christ has also forgiven you.

wmth@Ephesians:5:1 @ Therefore be imitators of God, as His dear children.

wmth@Ephesians:5:3 @ But fornication and every kind of impurity, or covetousness, let them not even be mentioned among you, for they ought not to be named among God's people.

wmth@Ephesians:5:5 @ For be well assured that no fornicator or immoral person and no money-grubber –or in other words idol-worshipper– has any share awaiting him in the Kingdom of Christ and of God.

wmth@Ephesians:5:6 @ Let no one deceive you with empty words, for it is on account of these very sins that God's anger is coming upon the disobedient.

wmth@Ephesians:5:7 @ Therefore do not become sharers with them.

wmth@Ephesians:5:9 @ Live and act as sons of Light –for the effect of the Light is seen in every kind of goodness, uprightness and truth–

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:5:14 @ For this reason it is said, »Rise, sleeper; rise from among the dead, and Christ will shed light upon you.«

wmth@Ephesians:5:15 @ Therefore be very careful how you live and act. Let it not be as unwise men, but as wise.

wmth@Ephesians:5:16 @ Buy up your opportunities, for these are evil times.

wmth@Ephesians:5:20 @ Always and for everything let your thanks to God the Father be presented in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;

wmth@Ephesians:5:21 @ and submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.

wmth@Ephesians:5:25 @ Married men, love your wives, as Christ also loved the Church and gave Himself up to death for her;

wmth@Ephesians:5:29 @ For never yet has a man hated his own body. On the contrary he feeds and cherishes it, just as Christ feeds and cherishes the Church;

wmth@Ephesians:6:1 @ Children, be obedient to your parents as a Christian duty, for it is a duty.

wmth@Ephesians:6:8 @ You well know that whatever right thing any one does, he will receive a requital for it from the Lord, whether he is a slave or a free man.

wmth@Ephesians:6:9 @ And you masters, act towards your slaves on the same principles, and refrain from threats. For you know that in Heaven there is One who is your Master as well as theirs, and that merely earthly distinctions there are none with Him.

wmth@Ephesians:6:12 @ For ours is not a conflict with mere flesh and blood, but with the despotisms, the empires, the forces that control and govern this dark world–the spiritual hosts of evil arrayed against us in the heavenly warfare.

wmth@Ephesians:6:13 @ Therefore put on the complete armour of God, so that you may be able to stand your ground on the day of battle, and, having fought to the end, to remain victors on the field.

wmth@Ephesians:6:14 @ Stand therefore, first fastening round you the girdle of truth and putting on the breastplate of uprightness

wmth@Ephesians:6:15 @ as well as the shoes of the Good News of peace– a firm foundation for your feet.

wmth@Ephesians:6:18 @ Pray with unceasing prayer and entreaty on every fitting occasion in the Spirit, and be always on the alert to seize opportunities for doing so, with unwearied persistence and entreaty on behalf of all God's people,

wmth@Ephesians:6:22 @ I have sent him to you for the very purpose–that you may know about us and that he may encourage you.

wmth@Philippians:1:5 @ I thank my God, I say, for your cooperation in spreading the Good News, from the time it first came to you even until now.

wmth@Philippians:1:6 @ For of this I am confident, that He who has begun a good work within you will go on to perfect it in preparation for the day of Jesus Christ.

wmth@Philippians:1:8 @ For God is my witness how I yearn over all of you with tender Christian affection.

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:1:10 @ so that you may be men of transparent character, and may be blameless, in preparation for the day of Christ,

wmth@Philippians:1:13 @ And thus it has become notorious among all the Imperial Guards, and everywhere, that it is for the sake of Christ that I am a prisoner;

wmth@Philippians:1:16 @ These latter preach Him from love to me, knowing that I am here for the defence of the Good News;

wmth@Philippians:1:19 @ For I know that it will result in my salvation through your prayers and a bountiful supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

wmth@Philippians:1:21 @ For, with me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.

wmth@Philippians:1:22 @ But since to live means a longer stay on earth, that implies more labour for me–and not unsuccessful labour; and which I am to choose I cannot tell.

wmth@Philippians:1:23 @ I am in a dilemma, my earnest desire being to depart and be with Christ, for that is far, far better.

wmth@Philippians:1:24 @ But for your sakes it is more important that I should still remain in the body.

wmth@Philippians:1:26 @ so that, as Christians, you may have additional reason for glorying about me as the result of my being with you again.

wmth@Philippians:1:27 @ Only let the lives you live be worthy of the Good News of the Christ, in order that, whether I come and see you or, being absent, only hear of you, I may know that you are standing fast in one spirit and with one mind, fighting shoulder to shoulder for the faith of the Good News.

wmth@Philippians:1:28 @ Never for a moment quail before your antagonists. Your fearlessness will be to them a sure token of impending destruction, but to you it will be a sure token of your salvation–a token coming from God.

wmth@Philippians:1:29 @ For you have had the privilege granted you on behalf of Christ–not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer on His behalf;

wmth@Philippians:2:12 @ Therefore, my dearly-loved friends, as I have always found you obedient, labour earnestly with fear and trembling –not merely as though I were present with you, but much more now since I am absent from you– labour earnestly, I say, to make sure of your own salvation.

wmth@Philippians:2:13 @ For it is God Himself whose power creates within you the desire to do His gracious will and also brings about the accomplishment of the desire.

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:2:20 @ For I have no one likeminded with him, who will cherish a genuine care for you.

wmth@Philippians:2:24 @ but trusting, as I do, in the Lord, I believe that I shall myself also come to you before long.

wmth@Philippians:2:27 @ For it is true that he has been ill, and was apparently at the point of death; but God had pity on him, and not only on him, but also on me, to save me from having sorrow upon sorrow.

wmth@Philippians:2:28 @ I am therefore all the more eager to send him, in the hope that when you see him again you may be glad and I may have the less sorrow.

wmth@Philippians:2:29 @ Receive him therefore with heartfelt Christian joy, and hold in honour men like him;

wmth@Philippians:2:30 @ because it was for the sake of Christ's work that he came so near death, hazarding, as he did, his very life in endeavouring to make good any deficiency that there might be in your gifts to me.

wmth@Philippians:3:1 @ In conclusion, my brethren, be joyful in the Lord. For me to give you the same warnings as before is not irksome to me, while so far as you are concerned it is a safe precaution.

wmth@Philippians:3:3 @ For we are the true circumcision–we who render to God a spiritual worship and make our boast in Christ Jesus and have no confidence in outward ceremonies:

wmth@Philippians:3:4 @ although I myself might have some excuse for confidence in outward ceremonies. If any one else claims a right to trust in them, far more may I:

wmth@Philippians:3:7 @ Yet all that was gain to me–for Christ's sake I have reckoned it loss.

wmth@Philippians:3:8 @ Nay, I even reckon all things as pure loss because of the priceless privilege of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. And for His sake I have suffered the loss of everything, and reckon it all as mere refuse, in order that I may win Christ and be found in union with Him,

wmth@Philippians:3:12 @ I do not say that I have already won the race or have already reached perfection. But I am pressing on, striving to lay hold of the prize for which also Christ has laid hold of me.

wmth@Philippians:3:13 @ Brethren, I do not imagine that I have yet laid hold of it. But this one thing I do–forgetting everything which is past and stretching forward to what lies in front of me,

wmth@Philippians:3:15 @ Therefore let all of us who are mature believers cherish these thoughts; and if in any respect you think differently, that also God will make clear to you.

wmth@Philippians:3:18 @ For there are many whom I have often described to you, and I now even with tears describe them, as being enemies to the Cross of Christ.

wmth@Philippians:3:20 @ We, however, are free citizens of Heaven, and we are waiting with longing expectation for the coming from Heaven of a Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ,

wmth@Philippians:3:21 @ who, in the exercise of the power which He has even to subject all things to Himself, will transform this body of our humiliation until it resembles His own glorious body.

wmth@Philippians:4:1 @ Therefore, my brethren, dearly loved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand firm in the Lord, my dearly-loved ones.

wmth@Philippians:4:5 @ Let your forbearing spirit be known to every one–the Lord is near.

wmth@Philippians:4:10 @ But I rejoice with a deep and holy joy that now at length you have revived your thoughtfulness for my welfare. Indeed you have always been thoughtful for me, although opportunity failed you.

wmth@Philippians:4:11 @ I do not refer to this through fear of privation, for (for my part) I have learned, whatever be my outward experiences, to be content.

wmth@Philippians:4:13 @ I have strength for anything through Him who gives me power.

wmth@Philippians:4:14 @ Yet I thank you for taking your share in my troubles.

wmth@Philippians:4:17 @ Not that I crave for gifts from you, but I do want to see abundant fruit bring you honour.

wmth@Colossians:1:3 @ We give thanks to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, constantly praying for you as we do,

wmth@Colossians:1:5 @ on account of the hope treasured up for you in Heaven. Of this hope you have already heard in the Message of the truth of the Good News.

wmth@Colossians:1:6 @ For it has reached you, and remains with you, just as it has also spread through the whole world, yielding fruit there and increasing, as it has done among you from the day when first you heard it and came really to know the grace of God,

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:1:11 @ Since His power is so glorious, may you be strengthened with strength of every kind, and be prepared for cheerfully enduring all things with patience and long-suffering;

wmth@Colossians:1:14 @ in whom we have our redemption–the forgiveness of our sins.

wmth@Colossians:1:16 @ For in Him was created the universe of things in heaven and on earth, things seen and things unseen, thrones, dominions, princedoms, powers–all were created, and exist through and for Him.

wmth@Colossians:1:17 @ And HE IS before all things and in and through Him the universe is a harmonious whole.

wmth@Colossians:1:18 @ Moreover He is the Head of His Body, the Church. He is the Beginning, the Firstborn from among the dead, in order that He Himself may in all things occupy the foremost place.

wmth@Colossians:1:19 @ For it was the Father's gracious will that the whole of the divine perfections should dwell in Him.

wmth@Colossians:1:24 @ Now I can find joy amid my sufferings for you, and I fill up in my own person whatever is lacking in Christ's afflictions on behalf of His Body, the Church.

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:1:27 @ to whom it was His will to make known how vast a wealth of glory for the Gentile world is implied in this truth–the truth that `Christ is in you, the hope of glory.'

wmth@Colossians:2:1 @ For I would have you know in how severe a struggle I am engaged on behalf of you and the brethren in Laodicea and of all who have not known me personally,

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:2:6 @ As therefore you have received the Christ, even Jesus our Lord, live and act in vital union with Him;

wmth@Colossians:2:9 @ For it is in Christ that the fulness of God's nature dwells embodied, and in Him you are made complete,

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:2:13 @ And to you –dead as you once were in your transgressions and in the uncircumcision of your natural state– He has nevertheless given Life with Himself, having forgiven us all our transgressions.

wmth@Colossians:2:14 @ The bond, with its requirements, which was in force against us and was hostile to us, He cancelled, and cleared it out of the way, nailing it to His Cross.

wmth@Colossians:2:16 @ Therefore suffer no one to sit in judgement on you as to eating or drinking or with regard to a festival, a new moon or a sabbath.

wmth@Colossians:3:3 @ For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

wmth@Colossians:3:5 @ Therefore put to death your earthward inclinations–fornication, impurity, sensual passion, unholy desire, and all greed, for that is a form of idolatry.

wmth@Colossians:3:9 @ Do not speak falsehoods to one another, for you have stripped off the old self with its doings,

wmth@Colossians:3:12 @ Clothe yourselves therefore, as God's own people holy and dearly loved, with tender-heartedness, kindness, lowliness of mind, meekness, long-suffering;

wmth@Colossians:3:13 @ bearing with one another and readily forgiving each other, if any one has a grievance against another. Just as the Lord has forgiven you, you also must forgive.

wmth@Colossians:3:20 @ Children be obedient to your parents in everything; for that is right for Christians.

wmth@Colossians:3:23 @ Whatever you are doing, let your hearts be in your work, as a thing done for the Lord and not for men.

wmth@Colossians:3:24 @ For you know that it is from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. Christ is the Master whose bondservants you are.

wmth@Colossians:4:3 @ And pray at the same time for us also, that God may open for us a door for preaching, for us to tell the truth concerning Christ for the sake of which I am even a prisoner.

wmth@Colossians:4:7 @ Tychicus, our much-loved brother, a trusty assistant and fellow servant with us in the Lord's work, will give you every information about me.

wmth@Colossians:4:8 @ And for this very purpose I send him to you that you may know how we are faring; and that he may cheer your hearts.

wmth@Colossians:4:9 @ And with him I send our dear and trusty brother Onesimus, who is one of yourselves. They will inform you of everything here.

wmth@Colossians:4:11 @ Jesus, called Justus, also sends greeting. These three are Hebrew converts. They alone among such have worked loyally with me for the Kingdom of God–they are men who have been a comfort to me.

wmth@Colossians:4:13 @ For I can bear witness to the deep interest he takes in you and in the brethren at Laodicea and in those at Hierapolis.

wmth@1Thessalonians:1:3 @ For we never fail to remember your works of faith and labours of love and your persistent and unwavering hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the presence of our God and Father;

wmth@1Thessalonians:1:5 @ The Good News that we brought you did not come to you in words only, but also with power and with the Holy Spirit and with much certainty, for you know the sort of men we became among you, as examples for your sakes.

wmth@1Thessalonians:1:8 @ For it was not only from you that the Master's Message sounded forth throughout Macedonia and Greece; but everywhere your faith in God has become known, so that it is unnecessary for us to say anything about it.

wmth@1Thessalonians:1:9 @ For when others speak of us they report the reception we had from you, and how you turned from your idols to God, to be bondservants of the true and ever-living God,

wmth@1Thessalonians:2:1 @ For you yourselves, brethren, know that our visit to you did not fail of its purpose.

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:2:4 @ But as God tested and approved us before entrusting us with His Good News, so in what we say we are seeking not to please men but to please God, who tests and approves our motives.

wmth@1Thessalonians:2:5 @ For, as you are well aware, we have never used the language of flattery nor have we found pretexts for enriching ourselves–God is our witness;

wmth@1Thessalonians:2:9 @ For you remember, brethren, our labour and toil: how, working night and day so as not to become a burden to any one of you, we came and proclaimed among you God's Good News.

wmth@1Thessalonians:2:11 @ For you know that we acted towards every one of you as a father does towards his own children, encouraging and cheering you,

wmth@1Thessalonians:2:13 @ And for this further reason we render unceasing thanks to God, that when you received God's Message from our lips, it was as no mere message from men that you embraced it, but as –what it really is– God's Message, which also does its work in the hearts of you who believe.

wmth@1Thessalonians:2:14 @ For you, brethren, followed the example of the Churches of God in Christ Jesus which are in Judaea; seeing that you endured the same ill-treatment at the hands of your countrymen, as they did at the hands of the Jews.

wmth@1Thessalonians:2:16 @ for they still try to prevent our preaching to the Gentiles so that they may find salvation. They thus continually fill up the measure of their own sins, and God's anger in its severest form has overtaken them.

wmth@1Thessalonians:2:17 @ But we, brethren, having been for a short time separated from you in bodily presence, though not in heart, endeavoured all the more earnestly, with intense longing, to see you face to face.

wmth@1Thessalonians:2:19 @ For what is our hope or joy, or the crown of which we boast? Is it not you yourselves in the presence of our Lord Jesus at His Coming?

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:3:4 @ For even when we were with you, we forewarned you, saying, »We are soon to suffer affliction;« and this actually happened, as you well know.

wmth@1Thessalonians:3:5 @ For this reason I also, when I could no longer endure the uncertainty, sent to know the condition of your faith, lest perchance the Tempter might have tempted you and our labour have been lost.

wmth@1Thessalonians:3:7 @ for this reason in our distress and trouble we have been comforted about you, brethren, by your faith.

wmth@1Thessalonians:3:8 @ For now life is for us life indeed, since you are standing fast in the Lord.

wmth@1Thessalonians:3:9 @ For what thanksgiving on your behalf can we possibly offer to God in return for all the joy which fills our souls before our God for you,

wmth@1Thessalonians:3:12 @ and as for you, may the Lord teach you to love one another and all men, with a growing and a glowing love, resembling our love for you.

wmth@1Thessalonians:4:2 @ For you know the commands which we laid upon you by the authority of the Lord Jesus.

wmth@1Thessalonians:4:3 @ For this is God's will–your purity of life, that you abstain from fornication;

wmth@1Thessalonians:4:6 @ and that in this matter there be no encroaching on the rights of a brother Christian and no overreaching him. For the Lord is an avenger in all such cases, as we have already taught you and solemnly warned you.

wmth@1Thessalonians:4:8 @ Therefore a defiant spirit in such a case provokes not man but God, who puts His Holy Spirit into your hearts.

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@1Thessalonians:4:11 @ and to vie with one another in eagerness for peace, every one minding his own business and working with his hands, as we ordered you to do:

wmth@1Thessalonians:4:14 @ For if we believe that Jesus has died and risen again, we also believe that, through Jesus, God will bring with Him those who shall have passed away.

wmth@1Thessalonians:4:15 @ For this we declare to you on the Lord's own authority–that we who are alive and continue on earth until the Coming of the Lord, shall certainly not forestall those who shall have previously passed away.

wmth@1Thessalonians:4:16 @ For the Lord Himself will come down from Heaven with a loud word of command, and with an archangel's voice and the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.

wmth@1Thessalonians:4:18 @ And so we shall be with the Lord for ever. Therefore encourage one another with these words.

wmth@1Thessalonians:5:2 @ For you yourselves know perfectly well that the day of the Lord comes like a thief in the night.

wmth@1Thessalonians:5:5 @ for all of you are sons of Light and sons of the day. We belong neither to the night nor to darkness.

wmth@1Thessalonians:5:7 @ For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who drink freely, drink at night.

wmth@1Thessalonians:5:8 @ But let us, belonging –as we do– to the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation.

wmth@1Thessalonians:5:9 @ For God has not pre-destined us to meet His anger, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ;

wmth@1Thessalonians:5:11 @ Therefore encourage one another, and let each one help to strengthen his friend, as in fact you do.

wmth@1Thessalonians:5:12 @ Now we beg you, brethren, to show respect for those who labour among you and are your leaders in Christian work, and are your advisers;

wmth@1Thessalonians:5:13 @ and to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. Be at peace among yourselves.

wmth@1Thessalonians:5:14 @ And we exhort you, brethren, admonish the unruly, comfort the timid, sustain the weak, and be patient towards all.

wmth@1Thessalonians:5:15 @ See to it that no one ever repays another with evil for evil; but always seek opportunities of doing good both to one another and to all the world.

wmth@1Thessalonians:5:18 @ In every circumstance of life be thankful; for this is God's will in Christ Jesus respecting you.

wmth@1Thessalonians:5:22 @ Hold yourselves aloof from every form of evil.

wmth@1Thessalonians:5:25 @ Brethren, pray for us.

wmth@2Thessalonians:1:3 @ Unceasing thanks are due from us to God on your behalf, brethren. They are appropriate because your faith is growing greatly, and the love of every one of you for all the others goes on increasing.

wmth@2Thessalonians:1:5 @ For these are a plain token of God's righteous judgement, which has in view your being deemed worthy of admission to God's Kingdom, for the sake of which, indeed, you are sufferers.

wmth@2Thessalonians:1:6 @ A plain token of God's righteous judgement, I say, since it is a righteous thing for Him to requite with affliction those who are now afflicting you;

wmth@2Thessalonians:1:10 @ when He comes on that day to be glorified in His people and to be wondered at among all who have believed, including you–because you believed the testimony which we brought for your acceptance.

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:2:3 @ Let no one in any way deceive you, for that day cannot come without the coming of the apostasy first, and the appearing of the man of sin, the son of perdition, who sets himself against,

wmth@2Thessalonians:2:7 @ For lawlessness is already at work in secret; but only until the man who is now exercising a restraining influence is removed,

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:2:11 @ And for this reason God sends them a misleading influence that they may believe the lie;

wmth@2Thessalonians:2:13 @ And from us thanks are always due to God on your behalf –brethren whom the Lord loves– because God from the beginning has chosen you for salvation through the Spirit's sanctifying influence and your belief in the truth.

wmth@2Thessalonians:2:17 @ comfort your hearts and make you stedfast in every good work and word.

wmth@2Thessalonians:3:1 @ Finally, brethren, pray for us, asking that the Lord's Message may be spread rapidly and its glory be displayed, as it was displayed among you;

wmth@2Thessalonians:3:2 @ and that we may be delivered from wrong-headed and wicked men; for it is not everybody who has faith.

wmth@2Thessalonians:3:7 @ For you yourselves know that it is your duty to follow our example. There was no disorder in our lives among you,

wmth@2Thessalonians:3:8 @ nor did we eat any one's bread without paying for it, but we laboured and toiled, working hard night and day in order not to be a burden to any of you.

wmth@2Thessalonians:3:9 @ This was not because we had not a claim upon you, but it arose from a desire to set you an example–for you to imitate us.

wmth@2Thessalonians:3:10 @ For even when we were with you, we laid down this rule for you:»If a man does not choose to work, neither shall he eat.«

wmth@2Thessalonians:3:11 @ For we hear that there are some of you who live disorderly lives and are mere idle busybodies.

wmth@1Timothy:1:4 @ and the attention they bestow on mere fables and endless pedigrees, such as lead to controversy rather than to a true stewardship for God, which only exists where there is faith. And I make the same request now.

wmth@1Timothy:1:9 @ and remembers that a law is not enacted to control a righteous man, but for the lawless and rebellious, the irreligious and sinful, the godless and profane–for those who strike their fathers or their mothers, for murderers,

wmth@1Timothy:1:10 @ fornicators, sodomites, slave-dealers, liars and false witnesses; and for whatever else is opposed to wholesome teaching

wmth@1Timothy:1:15 @ Faithful is the saying, and deserving of universal acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; among whom I stand foremost.

wmth@1Timothy:1:16 @ But mercy was shown me in order that in me as the foremost of sinners Christ Jesus might display the fulness of His long-suffering patience as an example to encourage those who would afterwards be resting their faith on Him with a view to the Life of the Ages.

wmth@1Timothy:2:4 @ who is willing for all mankind to be saved and come to a full knowledge of the truth.

wmth@1Timothy:2:5 @ For there is but one God and but one Mediator between God and men–Christ Jesus, Himself man;

wmth@1Timothy:2:6 @ who gave Himself as the redemption price for all–a fact testified to at its own appointed time,

wmth@1Timothy:2:13 @ For Adam was formed first, and then Eve;

wmth@1Timothy:3:2 @ A minister then must be a man of irreproachable character, true to his one wife, temperate, sober-minded, well-behaved, hospitable to strangers, and with a gift for teaching;

wmth@1Timothy:3:6 @ He ought not to be a new convert, for fear he should be blinded with pride and come under the same condemnation as the Devil.

wmth@1Timothy:3:13 @ For those who have filled the deacon's office wisely and well, are already gaining for themselves an honourable standing, and are acquiring great freedom of speech in proclaiming the faith which rests on Christ Jesus.

wmth@1Timothy:3:14 @ All this I write to you, though I am hoping before long to come to see you.

wmth@1Timothy:3:15 @ But, for fear I may be hindered, I now write, so that you may have rules to guide you in dealing with God's household. For this is what the Church of the ever-living God is, and it is the pillar and foundation-stone of the truth.

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:4:4 @ For everything that God has created is good, and nothing is to be cast aside, if only it is received with thanksgiving.

wmth@1Timothy:4:5 @ For it is made holy by the word of God and by prayer.

wmth@1Timothy:4:7 @ But worldly stories, fit only for credulous old women, have nothing to do with.

wmth@1Timothy:4:8 @ Train yourself in godliness. Exercise for the body is not useless, but godliness is useful in every respect, possessing, as it does, the promise of Life now and of the Life which is soon coming.

wmth@1Timothy:4:12 @ Let no one think slightingly of you because you are a young man; but in speech, conduct, love, faith and purity, be an example for your fellow Christians to imitate.

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:5:4 @ But if a widow has children or grandchildren, let these learn first to show piety towards their own homes and to prove their gratitude to their parents; for this is well pleasing in the sight of God.

wmth@1Timothy:5:8 @ But if a man makes no provision for those dependent on him, and especially for his own family, he has disowned the faith and is behaving worse than an unbeliever.

wmth@1Timothy:5:10 @ She must have been true to her one husband, and well reported of for good deeds, as having brought up children, received strangers hospitably, washed the feet of God's people, given relief to the distressed, and devoted herself to good works of every kind.

wmth@1Timothy:5:11 @ But the younger widows you must not enrol; for as soon as they begin to chafe against the yoke of Christ, they want to marry,

wmth@1Timothy:5:12 @ and they incur disapproval for having broken their original vow.

wmth@1Timothy:5:14 @ I would therefore have the younger women marry, bear children, rule in domestic matters, and furnish the Adversary with no excuse for slander.

wmth@1Timothy:5:15 @ For already some of them have gone astray, following Satan.

wmth@1Timothy:5:17 @ Let the Elders who perform their duties wisely and well be held worthy of double honour, especially those who labour in preaching and teaching.

wmth@1Timothy:5:18 @ For the Scripture says, and the workman deserves his pay.

wmth@1Timothy:5:23 @ (No longer be a water-drinker; but take a little wine for the sake of your digestion and your frequent ailments.)

wmth@1Timothy:5:25 @ So also the right actions of some are evident to the world, and those that are not cannot remain for ever out of sight.

wmth@1Timothy:6:7 @ for we brought nothing into the world, nor can we carry anything out of it;

wmth@1Timothy:6:10 @ For from love of money all sorts of evils arise; and some have so hankered after money as to be led astray from the faith and be pierced through with countless sorrows.

wmth@1Timothy:6:11 @ But you, O man of God, must flee from these things; and strive for uprightness, godliness, good faith, love, fortitude, and a forgiving temper.

wmth@1Timothy:6:12 @ Exert all your strength in the honourable struggle for the faith; lay hold of the Life of the Ages, to which you were called, when you made your noble profession of faith before many witnesses.

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@1Timothy:6:17 @ Impress on those who are rich in the present age that they must not be haughty nor set their hopes on riches –that unstable foundation– but on God who provides us richly with all things for our enjoyment.

wmth@1Timothy:6:19 @ storing up for themselves that which shall be a solid foundation for the future, that they may lay hold of the Life which is life indeed.

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:1:3 @ I thank God, whom I serve with a pure conscience –as my forefathers did– that night and day I unceasingly remember you in my prayers,

wmth@2Timothy:1:5 @ For I recall the sincere faith which is in your heart–a faith which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and then in your mother Eunice, and, I am fully convinced, now dwells in you also.

wmth@2Timothy:1:6 @ For this reason let me remind you to rekindle God's gift which is yours through the laying on of my hands.

wmth@2Timothy:1:7 @ For the Spirit which God has given us is not a spirit of cowardice, but one of power and of love and of sound judgement.

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:1:9 @ For He saved us and called us with a holy call, not in accordance with our desserts, but in accordance with His own purpose and the free grace which He bestowed on us in Christ Jesus before the commencement of the Ages,

wmth@2Timothy:1:12 @ That indeed is the reason why I suffer as I do. But I am not ashamed, for I know in whom my trust reposes, and I am confident that He has it in His power to keep what I have entrusted to Him safe until that day.

wmth@2Timothy:1:16 @ May the Lord show mercy to the household of Onesiphorus; for many a time he cheered me and he was not ashamed of my chain.

wmth@2Timothy:2:8 @ Never forget that Jesus Christ has risen from among the dead and is a descendant of David, as is declared in the Good News which I preach.

wmth@2Timothy:2:9 @ For preaching the Good News I suffer, and am even put in chains, as if I were a criminal: yet the word of God is not imprisoned.

wmth@2Timothy:2:10 @ For this reason I endure all things for the sake of God's own people; so that they also may obtain salvation –even the salvation which is in Christ Jesus– and with it eternal glory.

wmth@2Timothy:2:15 @ Earnestly seek to commend yourself to God as a servant who, because of his straightforward dealing with the word of truth, has no reason to feel any shame.

wmth@2Timothy:2:16 @ But from irreligious and frivolous talk hold aloof, for those who indulge in it will proceed from bad to worse in impiety,

wmth@2Timothy:2:20 @ Now in a great house there are not only articles of gold and silver, but also others of wood and of earthenware; and some are for specially honourable, and others for common use.

wmth@2Timothy:2:21 @ If therefore a man keeps himself clear of these latter, he himself will be for specially honourable use, consecrated, fit for the Master's service, and fully equipped for every good work.

wmth@2Timothy:2:22 @ Keep a strong curb, however, on your youthful cravings; and strive for integrity, good faith, love, peace, in company with all who pray to the Lord with pure hearts.

wmth@2Timothy:2:25 @ He must speak in a gentle tone when correcting the errors of opponents, in the hope that God will at last give them repentance, for them to come to a full knowledge of the truth

wmth@2Timothy:3:2 @ For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, haughty, profane. They will be disobedient to parents, thankless, irreligious,

wmth@2Timothy:3:3 @ destitute of natural affection, unforgiving, slanderers. They will have no self-control, but will be brutal, opposed to goodness,

wmth@2Timothy:3:9 @ But they will have no further success; for their folly will be as clearly manifest to all men, as that of the opponents of Moses came to be.

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:3:17 @ so that the man of God may himself be complete and may be perfectly equipped for every good work.

wmth@2Timothy:4:3 @ For a time is coming when they will not tolerate wholesome instruction, but, wanting to have their ears tickled, they will find a multitude of teachers to satisfy their own fancies;

wmth@2Timothy:4:5 @ But as for you, you must exercise habitual self-control, and not live a self-indulgent life, but do the duty of an evangelist and fully discharge the obligations of your office.

wmth@2Timothy:4:6 @ I for my part am like a drink-offering which is already being poured out; and the time for my departure is now close at hand.

wmth@2Timothy:4:8 @ From this time onward there is reserved for me the crown of righteousness which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day, and not only to me, but also to all who love the thought of His Appearing.

wmth@2Timothy:4:9 @ Make an effort to come to me speedily.

wmth@2Timothy:4:10 @ For Demas has deserted me –loving, as he does, the present age– and has gone to Thessalonica; Crescens has gone to Galatia, and Titus to Dalmatia.

wmth@2Timothy:4:11 @ Luke is the only friend I now have with me. Call for Mark on your way and bring him with you, for he is a great help to me in my ministry.

wmth@2Timothy:4:15 @ You also should beware of him; for he has violently opposed our preaching.

wmth@2Timothy:4:18 @ The Lord will deliver me from every cruel attack and will keep me safe in preparation for His heavenly Kingdom. To Him be the glory until the Ages of the Ages! Amen.

wmth@2Timothy:4:21 @ Make an effort to come before winter. Eubulus greets you, and so do Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the brethren.

wmth@Titus:1:1 @ Paul, a bondservant of God and an Apostle of Jesus Christ for building up the faith of God's own people and spreading a full knowledge of the truths of religion,

wmth@Titus:1:2 @ in hope of the Life of the Ages which God, who is never false to His word, promised before the commencement of the Ages.

wmth@Titus:1:7 @ For, as God's steward, a minister must be of blameless life, not over-fond of having his own way, not a man of a passionate temper nor a hard drinker, not given to blows nor greedy of gain,

wmth@Titus:1:10 @ For there are many that spurn authority–idle, talkative and deceitful persons, who, for the most part, are adherents of the Circumcision.

wmth@Titus:1:11 @ You must stop the mouths of such men, for they overthrow the faith of whole families, teaching what they ought not, just for the sake of making money.

wmth@Titus:1:13 @ This testimony is true. Therefore sternly denounce them, that they may be robust in their faith,

wmth@Titus:1:16 @ They profess to know God; but in their actions they disown Him, and are detestable and disobedient men, and for any good work are utterly useless.

wmth@Titus:2:1 @ But as for you, you must speak in a manner that befits wholesome teaching.

wmth@Titus:2:11 @ For the grace of God has displayed itself with healing power to all mankind,

wmth@Titus:2:14 @ who gave Himself for us to purchase our freedom from all iniquity, and purify for Himself a people who should be specially His own, zealous for doing good works.

wmth@Titus:3:1 @ Remind people that they must submit to the rulers who are in authority over them; that they must obey the magistrates, be prepared for every right action,

wmth@Titus:3:2 @ not speak evil of any one, nor be contentious, but yield unselfishly to others and constantly manifest a forgiving spirit towards all men.

wmth@Titus:3:3 @ For there was a time when we also were deficient in understanding, obstinate, deluded, the slaves of various cravings and pleasures, spending our lives in malice and envy, hateful ourselves and hating one another.

wmth@Titus:3:8 @ This is a faithful saying, and on these various points I would have you insist strenuously, in order that those who have their faith fixed on God may be careful to set an example of good actions. For these are not only good in themselves, but are also useful to mankind.

wmth@Titus:3:9 @ But hold yourself aloof from foolish controversies and pedigrees and discussions and wrangling about the Law, for they are useless and vain.

wmth@Titus:3:11 @ for, as you know, a man of that description has turned aside from the right path and is a sinner self-condemned.

wmth@Titus:3:12 @ After I have sent Artemas or Tychicus to you, lose no time in joining me at Nicopolis; for I have decided to pass the winter there.

wmth@Titus:3:13 @ Help Zenas the lawyer forward on his journey with special care, and Apollos, so that they may have all they require.

wmth@Titus:3:14 @ And let our people too learn to set a good example in following honest occupations for the supply of their necessities, so that they may not live useless lives.

wmth@Philemon:1:1 @ Paul, a prisoner for Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother: To Philemon our dearly-loved fellow labourer–

wmth@Philemon:1:7 @ For I have found great joy and comfort in your love, because the hearts of God's people have been, and are, refreshed through you, my brother.

wmth@Philemon:1:8 @ Therefore, though I might with Christ's authority speak very freely and order you to do what is fitting,

wmth@Philemon:1:9 @ it is for love's sake that –instead of that– although I am none other than Paul the aged, and am now also a prisoner for Christ Jesus,

wmth@Philemon:1:11 @ Formerly he was useless to you, but now –true to his name– he is of great use to you and to me.

wmth@Philemon:1:13 @ It was my wish to keep him at my side for him to attend to my wants, as your representative, during my imprisonment for the Good News.

wmth@Philemon:1:15 @ For perhaps it was for this reason he was parted from you for a time, that you might receive him back wholly and for ever yours;

wmth@Philemon:1:17 @ If therefore you regard me as a comrade, receive him as if he were I myself.

wmth@Philemon:1:20 @ Yes, brother, do me this favour for the Lord's sake. Refresh my heart in Christ.

wmth@Philemon:1:21 @ I write to you in the full confidence that you will meet my wishes, for I know you will do even more than I say.

wmth@Philemon:1:22 @ And at the same time provide accommodation for me; for I hope that through your prayers I shall be permitted to come to you.

wmth@Philemon:1:23 @ Greetings to you, my brother, from Epaphras my fellow prisoner for the sake of Christ Jesus;

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:1:5 @ For to which of the angels did God ever say, and again,

wmth@Hebrews:1:14 @ Are not all angels spirits that serve Him–whom He sends out to render service for the benefit of those who, before long, will inherit salvation?

wmth@Hebrews:2:1 @ For this reason we ought to pay the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, for fear we should drift away from them.

wmth@Hebrews:2:2 @ For if the message delivered through angels proved to be true, and every transgression and act of disobedience met with just retribution,

wmth@Hebrews:2:8 @ Thou hast put everything in subjection under his feet. - For this subjecting of the universe to man implies the leaving nothing not subject to him. But we do not as yet see the universe subject to him.

wmth@Hebrews:2:9 @ But Jesus –who was made a little inferior to the angels in order that through God's grace He might taste death for every human being– we already see wearing a crown of glory and honour because of His having suffered death.

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:2:11 @ For both He who sanctifies and those whom He is sanctifying have all one Father; and for this reason He is not ashamed to speak of them as His brothers;

wmth@Hebrews:2:16 @ For assuredly it is not to angels that He is continually reaching a helping hand, but it is to the descendants of Abraham.

wmth@Hebrews:2:17 @ And for this purpose it was necessary that in all respects He should be made to resemble His brothers, so that He might become a compassionate and faithful High Priest in things relating to God, in order to atone for the sins of the people.

wmth@Hebrews:2:18 @ For inasmuch as He has Himself felt the pain of temptation and trial, He is also able instantly to help those who are tempted and tried.

wmth@Hebrews:3:1 @ Therefore, holy brethren, sharers with others in a heavenly invitation, fix your thoughts on Jesus, the Apostle and High Priest whose followers we profess to be.

wmth@Hebrews:3:3 @ For Jesus has been counted worthy of greater glory than Moses, in so far as he who has built a house has higher honour than the house itself.

wmth@Hebrews:3:4 @ For every house has had a builder, and the builder of all things is God.

wmth@Hebrews:3:7 @ For this reason–as the Holy Spirit warns us, »To-day, if you hear His voice,

wmth@Hebrews:3:8 @ do not harden your hearts as your forefathers did in the time of the provocation on the day of the temptation in the Desert,

wmth@Hebrews:3:9 @ where your forefathers so sorely tried My patience and saw all that I did during forty years.

wmth@Hebrews:3:10 @ Therefore I was greatly grieved with that generation, and I said, `They are ever going astray in heart, and have not learnt to know My paths.'

wmth@Hebrews:3:14 @ For we have, all alike, become sharers with Christ, if we really hold our first confidence firm to the End;

wmth@Hebrews:3:16 @ For who were they that heard, and yet provoked God? Was it not the whole of the people who had come out of Egypt under the leadership of Moses?

wmth@Hebrews:3:17 @ And with whom was God so greatly grieved for forty years? Was it not with those who had sinned, and whose dead bodies fell in the Desert?

wmth@Hebrews:4:1 @ Therefore let us be on our guard lest perhaps, while He still leaves us a promise of being admitted to His rest, some one of you should be found to have fallen short of it.

wmth@Hebrews:4:2 @ For Good News has been brought to us as truly as to them; but the message they heard failed to benefit them, because they were not one in faith with those who gave heed to it.

wmth@Hebrews:4:4 @ For, as we know, when speaking of the seventh day He has used the words,

wmth@Hebrews:4:6 @ Since, then, it is still true that some will be admitted to that rest, and that because of disobedience those who formerly had Good News proclaimed to them were not admitted,

wmth@Hebrews:4:8 @ For if Joshua had given them the true rest, we should not afterwards hear God speaking of another still future day.

wmth@Hebrews:4:9 @ It follows that there still remains a sabbath rest for the people of God.

wmth@Hebrews:4:10 @ For He who has been admitted to His rest, has rested from His works as God did from His.

wmth@Hebrews:4:12 @ For God's Message is full of life and power, and is keener than the sharpest two-edged sword. It pierces even to the severance of soul from spirit, and penetrates between the joints and the marrow, and it can discern the secret thoughts and purposes of the heart.

wmth@Hebrews:4:13 @ And no created thing is able to escape its scrutiny; but everything lies bare and completely exposed before the eyes of Him with whom we have to do.

wmth@Hebrews:4:15 @ For we have not a High Priest who is unable to feel for us in our weaknesses, but one who was tempted in every respect just as we are tempted, and yet did not sin.

wmth@Hebrews:4:16 @ Therefore let us come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our times of need.

wmth@Hebrews:5:1 @ For every High Priest is chosen from among men, and is appointed to act on behalf of men in matters relating to God, in order to offer both gifts and sin-offerings,

wmth@Hebrews:5:3 @ And for this reason he is required to offer sin-offerings not only for the people but also for himself.

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:5:7 @ For Jesus during his earthly life offered up prayers and entreaties, crying aloud and weeping as He pleaded with Him who was able to bring Him in safety out of death, and He was delivered from the terror from which He shrank.

wmth@Hebrews:5:10 @ For God Himself addresses Him as a High Priest for ever, belonging to the order of Melchizedek.

wmth@Hebrews:5:12 @ For although, considering the long time you have been believers, you ought now to be teachers of others, you really need some one to teach you over again the very rudiments of the truths of God, and you have come to require milk instead of solid food.

wmth@Hebrews:5:14 @ Such persons are mere babes. But solid food is for adults–that is, for those who through constant practice have their spiritual faculties carefully trained to distinguish good from evil.

wmth@Hebrews:6:1 @ Therefore leaving elementary instruction about the Christ, let us advance to mature manhood and not be continually re-laying a foundation of repentance from lifeless works and of faith in God,

wmth@Hebrews:6:4 @ For it is impossible, in the case of those who have once for all been enlightened, and have tasted the sweetness of the heavenly gift, and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit,

wmth@Hebrews:6:6 @ it is impossible, I say, to keep bringing them back to a new repentance, for, to their own undoing, they are repeatedly crucifying the Son of God afresh and exposing Him to open shame.

wmth@Hebrews:6:7 @ For land which has drunk in the rain that often falls upon it, and brings forth vegetation useful to those for whose sakes, indeed, it is tilled, has a share in God's blessing.

wmth@Hebrews:6:10 @ For God is not unjust so that He is unmindful of your labour and of the love which you have manifested towards Himself in having rendered services to His people and in still rendering them.

wmth@Hebrews:6:11 @ But we long for each of you to continue to manifest the same earnestness, with a view to your enjoying fulness of hope to the very End;

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:6:15 @ And so, as the result of patient waiting, our forefather obtained what God had promised.

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:6:18 @ He added an oath, in order that, through two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for Him to prove false, we may possess mighty encouragement–we who, for safety, have hastened to lay hold of the hope set before us.

wmth@Hebrews:6:20 @ where Jesus has entered as a forerunner on our behalf, having become, like Melchizedek, a High Priest for ever.

wmth@Hebrews:7:1 @ For this man, Melchizedek, King of Salem and priest of the Most High God –he who when Abraham was returning after defeating the kings met him and pronounced a blessing on him–

wmth@Hebrews:7:3 @ with no father or mother, and no record of ancestry: having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made a type of the Son of God–this man Melchizedek remains a priest for ever.

wmth@Hebrews:7:10 @ for Levi was yet in the loins of his forefather when Melchizedek met Abraham.

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:7:12 @ For when the priesthood changes, a change of Law also of necessity takes place.

wmth@Hebrews:7:14 @ For it is undeniable that our Lord sprang from Judah, a tribe of which Moses said nothing in connection with priests.

wmth@Hebrews:7:17 @ For the words are in evidence,

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:7:24 @ but He, because He continues for ever, has a priesthood which does not pass to any successor.

wmth@Hebrews:7:25 @ Hence too He is able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, seeing that He ever lives to plead for them.

wmth@Hebrews:7:27 @ who, unlike other High Priests, is not under the necessity of offering up sacrifices day after day, first for His own sins, and afterwards for those of the people; for this latter thing He did once for all when He offered up Himself.

wmth@Hebrews:7:28 @ For the Law constitutes men High Priests –men with all their infirmity– but the utterance of the oath, which came later than the Law, constitutes High Priest a Son who has been made for ever perfect.

wmth@Hebrews:8:3 @ Every High Priest, however, is appointed to offer both bloodless gifts and sacrifices. Therefore this High Priest also must have some offering to present.

wmth@Hebrews:8:5 @ and serve a copy and type of the heavenly things, just as Moses was divinely instructed when about to build the tabernacle. For God said,

wmth@Hebrews:8:7 @ For if that first Covenant had been free from imperfection, there would have been no attempt to introduce another.

wmth@Hebrews:8:8 @ For, being dissatisfied with His people, God says,

wmth@Hebrews:9:1 @ Now even the first Covenant had regulations for divine worship, and had also its sanctuary–a sanctuary belonging to this world.

wmth@Hebrews:9:2 @ For a sacred tent was constructed–the outer one, in which were the lamp and the table and the presented loaves; and this is called the Holy place.

wmth@Hebrews:9:9 @ And this is a figure –for the time now present– answering to which both gifts and sacrifices are offered, unable though they are to give complete freedom from sin to him who ministers.

wmth@Hebrews:9:10 @ For their efficacy depends only on meats and drinks and various washings, ceremonies pertaining to the body and imposed until a time of reformation.

wmth@Hebrews:9:12 @ and once for all entered the Holy place, taking with Him not the blood of goats and calves, but His own blood, and thus procuring eternal redemption for us.

wmth@Hebrews:9:13 @ For if the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have contracted defilement make them holy so as to bring about ceremonial purity,

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:9:15 @ And because of this He is the negotiator of a new Covenant, in order that, since a life has been given in atonement for the offences committed under the first Covenant, those who have been called may receive the eternal inheritance which has been promised to them.

wmth@Hebrews:9:16 @ For where there is a legal `will,' there must also be a death brought forward in evidence–the death of him who made it.

wmth@Hebrews:9:17 @ And a will is only of force in the case of a deceased person, being never of any avail so long as he who made it lives.

wmth@Hebrews:9:19 @ For when Moses had proclaimed to all the people every commandment contained in the Law, he took the blood of the calves and of the goats and with them water, scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people,

wmth@Hebrews:9:23 @ It was needful therefore that the copies of the things in Heaven should be cleansed in this way, but that the heavenly things themselves should be cleansed with more costly sacrifices.

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:9:25 @ Nor did He enter for the purpose of many times offering Himself in sacrifice, just as the High Priest enters the Holy place, year after year, taking with him blood not his own.

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 by the sacrifice of Himself.

wmth@Hebrews:9:27 @ And since it is reserved for all mankind once to die, and afterwards to be judged;

wmth@Hebrews:10:1 @ For, since the Law exhibits only an outline of the blessings to come and not a perfect representation of the things themselves, the priests can never, by repeating the same sacrifices which they continually offer year after year, give complete freedom from sin to those who draw near.

wmth@Hebrews:10:2 @ For then would not the sacrifices have ceased to be offered, because the consciences of the worshippers –who in that case would now have been cleansed once for all– would no longer be burdened with sins?

wmth@Hebrews:10:4 @ For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.

wmth@Hebrews:10:10 @ It is through that divine will that we have been set free from sin, through the offering of Jesus Christ as our sacrifice once for all.

wmth@Hebrews:10:12 @ this Priest, on the contrary, after offering for sins a single sacrifice of perpetual efficacy, took His seat at God's right hand,

wmth@Hebrews:10:14 @ For by a single offering He has for ever completed the blessing for those whom He is setting free from sin.

wmth@Hebrews:10:15 @ And the Holy Spirit also gives us His testimony; for when He had said,

wmth@Hebrews:10:18 @ But where these have been forgiven no further offering for sin is required.

wmth@Hebrews:10:20 @ by the new and ever-living way which He opened up for us through the rending of the veil –that is to say, of His earthly nature–

wmth@Hebrews:10:22 @ let us draw near with sincerity and unfaltering faith, having had our hearts sprinkled, once for all, from consciences oppressed with sin, and our bodies bathed in pure water.

wmth@Hebrews:10:23 @ Let us hold firmly to an unflinching avowal of our hope, for He is faithful who gave us the promises.

wmth@Hebrews:10:26 @ For if we wilfully persist in sin after having received the full knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains in reserve any other sacrifice for sins.

wmth@Hebrews:10:27 @ There remains nothing but a certain awful expectation of judgement, and the fury of a fire which before long will devour the enemies of the truth.

wmth@Hebrews:10:30 @ For we know who it is that has said, and again,

wmth@Hebrews:10:33 @ This was partly through allowing yourselves to be made a public spectacle amid reproaches and persecutions, and partly through coming forward to share the sufferings of those who were thus treated.

wmth@Hebrews:10:34 @ For you not only showed sympathy with those who were imprisoned, but you even submitted with joy when your property was taken from you, being well aware that you have in your own selves a more valuable possession and one which will remain.

wmth@Hebrews:10:35 @ Therefore do not cast from you your confident hope, for it will receive a vast reward.

wmth@Hebrews:10:36 @ For you stand in need of patient endurance, so that, as the result of having done the will of God, you may receive the promised blessing.

wmth@Hebrews:10:37 @ For there is still but a short time and then

wmth@Hebrews:11:1 @ Now faith is a well-grounded assurance of that for which we hope, and a conviction of the reality of things which we do not see.

wmth@Hebrews:11:2 @ For by it the saints of old won God's approval.

wmth@Hebrews:11:5 @ Through faith Enoch was taken from the earth so that he did not see death, and he could not be found, because God had taken him; for before he was taken we have evidence that he truly pleased God.

wmth@Hebrews:11:6 @ But where there is no faith it is impossible truly to please Him; for the man who draws near to God must believe that there is a God and that He proves Himself a rewarder of those who earnestly try to find Him.

wmth@Hebrews:11:7 @ Through faith Noah, being divinely taught about things as yet unseen, reverently gave heed and built an ark for the safety of his family, and by this act he condemned the world, and became an heir of the righteousness which depends on faith.

wmth@Hebrews:11:8 @ Through faith Abraham, upon being called to leave home and go into a land which he was soon to receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing where he was going to.

wmth@Hebrews:11:9 @ Through faith he came and made his home for a time in a land which had been promised to him, as if in a foreign country, living in tents together with Isaac and Jacob, sharers with him in the same promise;

wmth@Hebrews:11:10 @ for he continually looked forward to the city which has the foundations, whose architect and builder is God.

wmth@Hebrews:11:11 @ Through faith even Sarah herself received strength to become a mother –although she was past the time of life for this– because she judged Him faithful who had given the promise.

wmth@Hebrews:11:13 @ All these died in the possession of faith. They had not received the promised blessings, but had seen them from a distance and had greeted them, and had acknowledged themselves to be foreigners and strangers here on earth;

wmth@Hebrews:11:14 @ for men who acknowledge this make it manifest that they are seeking elsewhere a country of their own.

wmth@Hebrews:11:16 @ but, as it is, we see them eager for a better land, that is to say, a heavenly one. For this reason God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has now prepared a city for them.

wmth@Hebrews:11:19 @ For he reckoned that God is even able to raise a man up from among the dead, and, figuratively speaking, it was from among the dead that he received Isaac again.

wmth@Hebrews:11:23 @ Through faith the child Moses was hid for three months by his parents, because they saw his rare beauty; and the king's edict had no terror for them.

wmth@Hebrews:11:26 @ because he deemed the reproaches which he might meet with in the service of the Christ to be greater riches than all the treasures of Egypt; for he fixed his gaze on the coming reward.

wmth@Hebrews:11:27 @ Through faith he left Egypt, not being frightened by the king's anger; for he held on his course as seeing the unseen One.

wmth@Hebrews:11:30 @ Through faith the walls of Jericho fell to the ground after being surrounded for seven days.

wmth@Hebrews:11:31 @ Through faith the notorious sinner Rahab did not perish along with the disobedient, for she had welcomed the spies and had sheltered them.

wmth@Hebrews:11:32 @ And why need I say more? For time will fail me if I tell the story of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, and of David and Samuel and the Prophets;

wmth@Hebrews:11:34 @ deprived fire of its power, escaped being killed by the sword, out of weakness were made strong, became mighty in war, put to flight foreign armies.

wmth@Hebrews:11:40 @ for God had provided for them and us something better, so that apart from us they were not to attain to full blessedness.

wmth@Hebrews:12:1 @ Therefore, surrounded as we are by such a vast cloud of witnesses, let us fling aside every encumbrance and the sin that so readily entangles our feet. And let us run with patient endurance the race that lies before us,

wmth@Hebrews:12:2 @ simply fixing our gaze upon Jesus, our Prince Leader in the faith, who will also award us the prize. He, for the sake of the joy which lay before Him, patiently endured the cross, looking with contempt upon its shame, and afterwards seated Himself – where He still sits– at the right hand of the throne of God.

wmth@Hebrews:12:3 @ Therefore, if you would escape becoming weary and faint-hearted, compare your own sufferings with those of Him who endured such hostility directed against Him by sinners.

wmth@Hebrews:12:5 @ and you have quite forgotten the encouraging words which are addressed to you as sons, and which say,

wmth@Hebrews:12:7 @ The sufferings that you are enduring are for your discipline. God is dealing with you as sons; for what son is there whom his father does not discipline?

wmth@Hebrews:12:10 @ It is true that they disciplined us for a few years according as they thought fit; but He does it for our certain good, in order that we may become sharers in His own holy character.

wmth@Hebrews:12:11 @ Now, at the time, discipline seems to be a matter not for joy, but for grief; yet it afterwards yields to those who have passed through its training a result full of peace–namely, righteousness.

wmth@Hebrews:12:12 @ Therefore strengthen the drooping hands and paralysed knees,

wmth@Hebrews:12:13 @ and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be put entirely out of joint

wmth@Hebrews:12:14 @ but may rather be restored. Persistently strive for peace with all men, and for that growth in holiness apart from which no one will see the Lord.

wmth@Hebrews:12:16 @ lest there be a fornicator, or an ungodly person like Esau, who, in return for a single meal, parted with the birthright which belonged to him.

wmth@Hebrews:12:17 @ For you know that even afterwards, when he wished to secure the blessing, he was rejected; for he found no opportunity for undoing what he had done, though he sought the blessing earnestly with tears.

wmth@Hebrews:12:18 @ For you have not come to a material object all ablaze with fire, and to gloom and darkness and storm and trumpet-blast and the sound of words–

wmth@Hebrews:12:20 @ For they could not endure the order which had been given,

wmth@Hebrews:12:25 @ Be careful not to refuse to listen to Him who is speaking to you. For if they of old did not escape unpunished when they refused to listen to him who spoke on earth, much less shall we escape who turn a deaf ear to Him who now speaks from Heaven.

wmth@Hebrews:12:27 @ Here the words »Yet again, once for all« denote the removal of the things which can be shaken –created things– in order that the things which cannot be shaken may remain.

wmth@Hebrews:12:28 @ Therefore, receiving, as we now do, a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us cherish thankfulness so that we may ever offer to God an acceptable service, with godly reverence and awe.

wmth@Hebrews:12:29 @ For our God is also a consuming fire.

wmth@Hebrews:13:2 @ Do not neglect to show kindness to strangers; for, in this way, some, without knowing it, have had angels as their guests.

wmth@Hebrews:13:3 @ Remember prisoners, as if you were in prison with them; and remember those suffering ill-treatment, for you yourselves also are still in the body.

wmth@Hebrews:13:4 @ Let marriage be held in honour among all, and let the marriage bed be unpolluted; for fornicators and adulterers God will judge.

wmth@Hebrews:13:5 @ Your lives should be untainted by love for money. Be content with what you have; for God Himself has said,

wmth@Hebrews:13:7 @ Remember your former leaders–it was they who brought you God's Message. Bear in mind how they ended their lives, and imitate their faith.

wmth@Hebrews:13:9 @ Do not be drawn aside by all sorts of strange teaching; for it is well to have the heart made stedfast through God's grace, and not by special kinds of food, from which those who scrupulously attend to them have derived no benefit.

wmth@Hebrews:13:11 @ For the bodies of those animals of which the blood is carried by the High Priest into the Holy place as an offering for sin, are burned outside the camp.

wmth@Hebrews:13:12 @ And for this reason Jesus also, in order, by His own blood, to set the people free from sin, suffered outside the gate.

wmth@Hebrews:13:13 @ Therefore let us go to Him outside the camp, sharing the insults directed against Him.

wmth@Hebrews:13:14 @ For we have no permanent city here, but we are longing for the city which is soon to be ours.

wmth@Hebrews:13:16 @ And do not forget to be kind and liberal; for with sacrifices of that sort God is greatly pleased.

wmth@Hebrews:13:17 @ Obey your leaders and be submissive to them. For they are keeping watch over your souls as those who will have to give account; that they may do this with joy and not with lamentation. For that would be of no advantage to you.

wmth@Hebrews:13:18 @ Keep on praying for us; for we are sure that we have clear consciences, and we desire to live nobly in every respect.

wmth@Hebrews:13:21 @ fully equip you with every grace that you may need for the doing of His will, producing in us that which will truly please Him through Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory to the Ages of the Ages! Amen.

wmth@Hebrews:13:22 @ Bear with me, brethren, when I thus exhort you; for, in fact, it is but a short letter that I have written to you.

wmth@James:1:5 @ And if any one of you is deficient in wisdom, let him ask God for it, who gives with open hand to all men, and without upbraiding; and it will be given him.

wmth@James:1:6 @ But let him ask in faith and have no doubts; for he who has doubts is like the surge of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed into spray.

wmth@James:1:10 @ but a rich man should rejoice in being brought low, for like flowers among the herbage rich men will pass away.

wmth@James:1:12 @ Blessed is he who patiently endures trials; for when he has stood the test, he will gain the victor's crown –even the crown of Life– which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.

wmth@James:1:13 @ Let no one say when passing through trial, »My temptation is from God;« for God is incapable of being tempted to do evil, and He Himself tempts no one.

wmth@James:1:20 @ For a man's anger does not lead to action which God regards as righteous.

wmth@James:1:21 @ Ridding yourselves, therefore, of all that is vile and of the evil influences which prevail around you, welcome in a humble spirit the Message implanted within you, which is able to save your souls.

wmth@James:1:23 @ For if any one listens but does not obey, he is like a man who carefully looks at his own face in a mirror.

wmth@James:1:24 @ Although he has looked carefully at himself, he goes away, and has immediately forgotten the sort of man he is.

wmth@James:1:25 @ But he who looks closely into the perfect Law –the Law of freedom– and continues looking, he, being not a hearer who forgets, but an obedient doer, will as the result of his obedience be blessed.

wmth@James:2:2 @ For suppose a man comes into one of your meetings wearing gold rings and fine clothes, and there also comes in a poor man wearing shabby clothes,

wmth@James:2:11 @ For He who said, also said, and if you are a murderer, although not an adulterer, you have become an offender against the Law.

wmth@James:2:13 @ For he who shows no mercy will have judgement given against him without mercy; but mercy triumphs over judgement.

wmth@James:2:20 @ But, idle boaster, are you willing to be taught how it is that faith apart from obedience is worthless? Take the case of Abraham our forefather.

wmth@James:2:26 @ For just as a human body without a spirit is lifeless, so also faith is lifeless if it is unaccompanied by obedience.

wmth@James:3:1 @ Do not be eager, my brethren, for many among you to become teachers; for you know that we teachers shall undergo severer judgement.

wmth@James:3:2 @ For we often stumble and fall, all of us. If there is any one who never stumbles in speech, that man has reached maturity of character and is able to curb his whole nature.

wmth@James:3:5 @ In the same way the tongue is an insignificant part of the body, but it is immensely boastful. Remember how a mere spark may set a vast forest in flames.

wmth@James:3:7 @ For brute nature under all its forms –beasts and birds, reptiles and fishes– can be subjected and kept in subjection by human nature.

wmth@James:3:11 @ In a fountain, are fresh water and bitter sent forth from the same opening?

wmth@James:3:16 @ For where envy and rivalry are, there also are unrest and every vile deed.

wmth@James:3:18 @ And peace, for those who strive for peace, is the seed of which the harvest is righteousness.

wmth@James:4:1 @ What causes wars and contentions among you? Is it not the cravings which are ever at war within you for various pleasures?

wmth@James:4:4 @ You unfaithful women, do you not know that friendship with the world means enmity to God? Therefore whoever is bent on being friendly with the world makes himself an enemy to God.

wmth@James:4:7 @ Submit therefore to God: resist the Devil, and he will flee from you.

wmth@James:4:14 @ when, all the while, you do not even know what will happen to-morrow. For what is the nature of your life? Why, it is but a mist, which appears for a short time and then is seen no more.

wmth@James:5:1 @ Come, you rich men, weep aloud and howl for your sorrows which will soon be upon you.

wmth@James:5:7 @ Be patient therefore, brethren, until the Coming of the Lord. Notice how eagerly a farmer waits for a valuable crop! He is patient over it till it has received the early and the later rain.

wmth@James:5:8 @ So you also must be patient: keeping up your courage; for the Coming of the Lord is now close at hand.

wmth@James:5:14 @ Is any one ill? Let him send for the Elders of the Church, and let them pray over him, after anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord.

wmth@James:5:15 @ And the prayer of faith will restore the sick man, and the Lord will raise him up to health; and if he has committed sins, they shall be forgiven.

wmth@James:5:16 @ Therefore confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, so that you may be cured. The heartfelt supplication of a righteous man exerts a mighty influence.

wmth@James:5:17 @ Elijah was a man with a nature similar to ours, and he earnestly prayed that there might be no rain: and no rain fell on the land for three years and six months.

wmth@1Peter:3:13 @ And who will be able to harm you, if you show yourselves zealous for that which is good?

wmth@1Peter:3:14 @ But even if you suffer for righteousness' sake, you are to be envied. So do not be alarmed by their threats, nor troubled;

wmth@1Peter:3:15 @ but in your hearts consecrate Christ as Lord, being always ready to make your defence to any one who asks from you a reason for the hope which you cherish.

wmth@1Peter:3:17 @ For it is better that you should suffer for doing right, if such be God's will, than for doing evil;

wmth@1Peter:3:18 @ because Christ also once for all died for sins, the innocent One for the guilty many, in order to bring us to God. He was put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit,

wmth@1Peter:4:3 @ For you have given time enough in the past to the doing of the things which the Gentiles delight in– pursuing, as you did, a course of habitual licence, debauchery, hard drinking, noisy revelry, drunkenness and unholy image-worship.

wmth@1Peter:4:6 @ For it is with this end in view that the Good News was proclaimed even to some who were dead, that they may be judged, as all mankind will be judged, in the body, but may be living a godly life in the spirit.

wmth@1Peter:4:7 @ But the end of all things is now close at hand: therefore be sober-minded and temperate, so that you may give yourselves to prayer.

wmth@1Peter:4:8 @ Above all continue to love one another fervently, for love throws a veil over a multitude of faults.

wmth@1Peter:4:10 @ Whatever be the gifts which each has received, you must use them for one another's benefit, as good stewards of God's many-sided kindness.

wmth@1Peter:4:14 @ You are to be envied, if you are being reproached for bearing the name of Christ; for in that case the Spirit of glory – even the Spirit of God– is resting upon you.

wmth@1Peter:4:16 @ If, however, any one suffers because he is a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God for being permitted to bear that name.

wmth@1Peter:4:17 @ For the time has come for judgement to begin, and to begin at the house of God; and if it begins with us, what will be the end of those who reject God's Good News?

wmth@1Peter:4:18 @ And if it is difficult even for a righteous man to be saved, what will become of irreligious men and sinners?

wmth@1Peter:4:19 @ Therefore also, let those who are suffering in accordance with the will of God entrust their souls in well-doing to a faithful Creator.

wmth@1Peter:5:2 @ Be shepherds of God's flock which is among you. Exercise the oversight not reluctantly but eagerly, in accordance with the will of God; not for base gain but with cheerful minds;

wmth@1Peter:5:3 @ not lording it over your Churches but proving yourselves patterns for the flock to imitate.

wmth@1Peter:5:5 @ In the same way you younger men must submit to your elders; and all of you must gird yourselves with humility towards one another, for God sets Himself against the proud, but gives grace to the humble.

wmth@1Peter:5:6 @ Humble yourselves therefore beneath the mighty hand of God, so that at the right time He may set you on high.

wmth@1Peter:5:7 @ Throw the whole of your anxiety upon Him, because He Himself cares for you.

wmth@1Peter:5:10 @ And God, the giver of all grace, who has called you to share His eternal glory, through Christ, after you have suffered for a short time, will Himself make you perfect, firm, and strong.

wmth@1Peter:5:12 @ I send this short letter by Silas, our faithful brother –for such I regard him– in order to encourage you, and to bear witness that what I have told you is the true grace of God. In it stand fast.

wmth@2Peter:1:3 @ seeing that His divine power has given us all things that are needful for life and godliness, through our knowledge of Him who has appealed to us by His own glorious perfections.

wmth@2Peter:1:5 @ But for this very reason –adding, on your part, all earnestness– along with your faith, manifest also a noble character: along with a noble character, knowledge;

wmth@2Peter:1:9 @ For the man in whom they are lacking is blind and cannot see distant objects, in that he has forgotten that he has been cleansed from his old sins.

wmth@2Peter:1:10 @ For this reason, brethren, be all the more in earnest to make sure that God has called you and chosen you; for it is certain that so long as you practise these things, you will never stumble.

wmth@2Peter:1:12 @ For this reason I shall always persist in reminding you of these things, although you know them and are stedfast believers in truth which you already possess.

wmth@2Peter:1:14 @ For I know that the time for me to lay aside my body is now rapidly drawing near, even as our Lord Jesus Christ has revealed to me.

wmth@2Peter:1:16 @ For when we made known to you the power and Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, we were not eagerly following cleverly devised legends, but we had been eye-witnesses of His majesty.

wmth@2Peter:1:21 @ for never did any prophecy come by human will, but men sent by God spoke as they were impelled by the Holy Spirit.

wmth@2Peter:2:3 @ Thirsting for riches, they will trade on you with their canting talk. From of old their judgement has been working itself out, and their destruction has not been slumbering.

wmth@2Peter:2:4 @ For God did not spare angels when they had sinned, but hurling them down to Tartarus consigned them to caves of darkness, keeping them in readiness for judgement.

wmth@2Peter:2:8 @ (For their lawless deeds were torture, day after day, to the pure soul of that righteous man–all that he saw and heard whilst living in their midst.)

wmth@2Peter:2:9 @ Since all this is so, the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from temptation, and on the other hand how to keep the unrighteous under punishment in readiness for the Day of Judgement,

wmth@2Peter:2:10 @ and especially those who are abandoned to sensuality–craving, as they do, for polluted things, and scorning control. Fool-hardy and self-willed, they do not tremble when speaking evil of glorious beings;

wmth@2Peter:2:13 @ being doomed to receive a requital for their guilt. They reckon it pleasure to feast daintily in broad daylight. They are spots and blemishes, while feeding luxuriously at their love-feasts, and banqueting with you.

wmth@2Peter:2:14 @ Their very eyes are full of adultery–being eyes which never cease from sin. These men set traps to catch unstedfast souls, their own hearts being well trained in greed. They are fore-doomed to God's curse!

wmth@2Peter:2:15 @ Forsaking the straight road, they have gone astray, having eagerly followed in the steps of Balaam, the son of Beor, who was bent on securing the wages of unrighteousness.

wmth@2Peter:2:16 @ But he was rebuked for his transgression: a dumb ass spoke with a human voice and checked the madness of the Prophet.

wmth@2Peter:2:17 @ These people are wells without water, mists driven along by a storm, men for whom the dense darkness has been reserved.

wmth@2Peter:2:18 @ For, while they pour out their frivolous and arrogant talk, they use earthly cravings –every kind of immorality– as a bait to entrap men who are just escaping from the influence of those who live in error.

wmth@2Peter:2:19 @ And they promise them freedom, although they are themselves the slaves of what is corrupt. For a man is the slave of any one by whom he has been worsted in fight.

wmth@2Peter:2:20 @ For if, after escaping from the pollutions of the world through a full knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, people are once more entangled in these pollutions and are overcome, their last state has become worse than their first.

wmth@2Peter:2:21 @ For it would have been better for them not to have fully known the way of righteousness, than, after knowing it, to turn back from the holy commandments in which they were instructed.

wmth@2Peter:3:4 @ and, asking, »What has become of His promised Return? For from the time our forefathers fell asleep all things continue as they have been ever since the creation of the world.«

wmth@2Peter:3:5 @ For they are wilfully blind to the fact that there were heavens which existed of old, and an earth, the latter arising out of water and extending continuously through water, by the command of God;

wmth@2Peter:3:7 @ But the present heavens and the present earth are, by the command of the same God, kept stored up, reserved for fire in preparation for a day of judgement and of destruction for the ungodly.

wmth@2Peter:3:8 @ But there is one thing, dear friends, which you must not forget. With the Lord one day resembles a thousand years and a thousand years resemble one day.

wmth@2Peter:3:12 @ eagerly looking forward to the coming of the day of God, by reason of which the heavens, all ablaze, will be destroyed, and the elements will melt in the fierce heat?

wmth@2Peter:3:14 @ Therefore, dear friends, since you have these expectations, earnestly seek to be found in His presence, free from blemish or reproach, in peace.

wmth@2Peter:3:15 @ And always regard the patient forbearance of our Lord as salvation, as our dear brother Paul also has written to you in virtue of the wisdom granted to him.

wmth@2Peter:3:17 @ You, therefore, dear friends, having been warned beforehand, must continually be on your guard so as not to be led astray by the false teaching of immoral men nor fall from your own stedfastness.

wmth@1John:1:9 @ If we confess our sins, He is so faithful and just that He forgives us our sins and cleanses us from all unrighteousness.

wmth@1John:2:2 @ and He is an atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

wmth@1John:2:5 @ But whoever obeys His Message, in him love for God has in very deed reached perfection. By this we can know that we are in Him.

wmth@1John:2:8 @ And yet I giving you a new command, for such it really is, so far as both He and you are concerned: because the darkness is now passing away and the light, the true light, is already beginning to shine.

wmth@1John:2:12 @ I am writing to you, dear children, because for His sake your sins are forgiven you.

wmth@1John:2:15 @ Do not love the world, nor the things in the world. If any one loves the world, there is no love in his heart for the Father.

wmth@1John:2:16 @ For the things in the world –the cravings of the earthly nature, the cravings of the eyes, the show and pride of life– they all come, not from the Father, but from the world.

wmth@1John:2:17 @ And the world, with its cravings, is passing away, but he who does God's will continues for ever.

wmth@1John:2:19 @ They have gone forth from our midst, but they did not really belong to us; for had they belonged to us, they would have remained with us. But they left us that it might be manifest that professed believers do not all belong to us.

wmth@1John:2:20 @ As for you, you have an anointing from the holy One and have perfect knowledge.

wmth@1John:2:24 @ As for you, let the teaching which you have received from the very beginning continue in your hearts. If that teaching does continue in your hearts, you also will continue to be in union with the Son and with the Father.

wmth@1John:2:27 @ And as for you, the anointing which you received from Him remains within you, and there is no need for any one to teach you. But since His anointing gives you instruction in all things –and is true and is no falsehood– you are continuing in union with Him even as it has taught you to do.

wmth@1John:3:1 @ See what marvellous love the Father has bestowed upon us –that we should be called God's children: and that is what we are. For this reason the world does not recognize us– because it has not known Him.

wmth@1John:3:4 @ Every one who is guilty of sin is also guilty of violating Law; for sin is the violation of Law.

wmth@1John:3:8 @ He who is habitually guilty of sin is a child of the Devil, because the Devil has been a sinner from the very beginning. The Son of God appeared for the purpose of undoing the work of the Devil.

wmth@1John:3:11 @ For this is the Message you have heard from the beginning–that we are to love one another.

wmth@1John:3:14 @ As for us, we know that we have already passed out of death into Life–because we love our brother men. He who is destitute of love continues dead.

wmth@1John:3:16 @ We know what love is–through Christ's having laid down His life on our behalf; and in the same way we ought to lay down our lives for our brother men.

wmth@1John:3:22 @ and whatever we ask for we obtain from Him, because we obey His commands and do the things which are pleasing in His sight.

wmth@1John:4:1 @ Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but put the spirits to the test to see whether they are from God; for many false teachers have gone out into the world.

wmth@1John:4:4 @ As for you, dear children, you are God's children, and have successfully resisted them; for greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.

wmth@1John:4:7 @ Dear friends, let us love one another; for love has its origin in God, and every one who loves has become a child of God and is beginning to know God.

wmth@1John:4:9 @ God's love for us has been manifested in that He has sent His only Son into the world so that we may have Life through Him.

wmth@1John:4:10 @ This is love indeed–we did not love God, but He loved us and sent His Son to be an atoning sacrifice for our sins.

wmth@1John:4:16 @ And, as for us, we know the love which God has for us, and we confide in it. God is love, and he who continues to love continues in union with God, and God continues in union with him.

wmth@1John:4:20 @ If any one says that he loves God, while he hates his brother man, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother man whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen.

wmth@1John:5:3 @ Love for God means obedience to His commands; and His commands are not irksome.

wmth@1John:5:4 @ For every child of God overcomes the world; and the victorious principle which has overcome the world is our faith.

wmth@1John:5:7 @ For there are three that give testimony– the Spirit, the water, and the blood;

wmth@1John:5:9 @ If we accept the testimony of men, God's testimony is greater: for God's testimony consists of the things which He has testified about His Son.

wmth@1John:5:13 @ I write all this to you in order that you who believe in the Son of God may know for certain that you already have the Life of the Ages.

wmth@1John:5:16 @ If any one sees a brother man committing a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask and God shall give him life–for those who do not sin unto death. There is such a thing as sin unto death; for that I do not bid him make request.

wmth@2John:1:2 @ for the sake of the truth which is continually in our hearts and will be with us for ever.

wmth@2John:1:7 @ For many deceivers have gone out into the world–men who do not acknowledge Jesus as Christ who has come in human nature. Such a one is `the deceiver' and `the anti-Christ.'

wmth@3John:1:3 @ For it is an intense joy to me when brethren come and bear witness to your fidelity to the truth–that you live in obedience to the truth.

wmth@3John:1:7 @ For it is for Christ that they have gone forth, accepting nothing from the Gentiles.

wmth@3John:1:8 @ It is therefore our duty to show hospitality to such men, so that we may be fellow workers in promoting the truth.

wmth@3John:1:10 @ For this reason, if I come, I shall not forget his conduct, nor his idle and mischievous talk against us. And he does not stop there: he not only will not receive the brethren, but those who desire to do this he hinders, and excludes them from the Church.

wmth@Jude:1:1 @ Jude, a bondservant of Jesus Christ and a brother of James: To those who are in God the Father, enfolded in His love, and kept for Jesus Christ, and called.

wmth@Jude:1:3 @ Dear friends, since I am eager to begin a letter to you on the subject of our common salvation, I find myself constrained to write and cheer you on to the vigorous defense of the faith delivered once for all to God's people.

wmth@Jude:1:4 @ For certain persons have crept in unnoticed –men spoken of in ancient writings as pre-destined to this condemnation– ungodly men, who pervert the grace of our God into an excuse for immorality, and disown Jesus Christ, our only Sovereign and Lord.

wmth@Jude:1:6 @ And angels –those who did not keep the position originally assigned to them, but deserted their own proper abode– He reserves in everlasting bonds, in darkness, in preparation for the judgement of the great day.

wmth@Jude:1:7 @ So also Sodom and Gomorrah –and the neighboring towns in the same manner– having been guilty of gross fornication and having gone astray in pursuit of unnatural vice, are now before us as a specimen of the fire of the Ages in the punishment which they are undergoing.

wmth@Jude:1:11 @ Alas for them; for they have followed in the steps of Cain; for the sake of gain they have rushed on headlong in the evil ways of Balaam; and have perished in rebellion like that of Korah!

wmth@Jude:1:12 @ These men –sunken rocks!– are those who share the pleasure of your love-feasts, unrestrained by fear while caring only for themselves; clouds without water, driven away by the winds; trees that cast their fruit, barren, doubly dead, uprooted;

wmth@Jude:1:13 @ wild waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, for whom is reserved dense darkness of age-long duration.

wmth@Jude:1:16 @ These men are murmurers, ever bemoaning their lot. Their lives are guided by their evil passions, and their mouths are full of big, boastful words, while they treat individual men with admiring reverence for the sake of the advantage they can gain.

wmth@Jude:1:17 @ But as for you, my dearly-loved friends, remember the words that before now were spoken by the Apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ–

wmth@Jude:1:21 @ must keep yourselves safe in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ which will result in the Life of the Ages.

wmth@Jude:1:25 @ to the only God our Saviour–through Jesus Christ our Lord, be ascribed glory, majesty, might, and authority, as it was before all time, is now, and shall be to all the Ages! Amen.
