Romans:1:4 @ He came alive from death. That showed he was Gods Son. He had Gods power. Gods Holy Spirit did all this.
bwe@Romans:1:11 @ I want very much to see you. I want to give you some gift from the Holy Spirit to make you stronger.
bwe@Romans:1:18 @ God is angry. He has shown it from heaven. He is angry because of all the bad and wrong things people do. These people hold back Gods truth by the wrong things they do.
bwe@Romans:1:29 @ They were very bad. They did every kind of wrong thing. They were greedy. They hated people. They were very jealous. They killed many people. They fought. They fooled people. They told lies about people. They carried stories from one person to another.
bwe@Romans:2:4 @ Or do you not respect him for being kind, very patient, and for waiting a long time? Do you not know that God is kind, and he wants to lead you away from doing wrong things?
bwe@Romans:2:7 @ He will give life for ever to people who keep on doing good. These people want to have glory and honour from God, and to live for ever.
bwe@Romans:2:22 @ You say people must not commit adultery. Do you commit adultery? You hate idols. Do you steal things from the houses of idols?
bwe@Romans:3:12 @ They all have turned away from the straight road. Together they have gone the wrong way. No one does good, not even one person!
bwe@Romans:3:23 @ All have done wrong and all are far from being as good as God.
bwe@Romans:4:24 @ They say it for us too. God will say we are put right if we believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from death.
bwe@Romans:4:25 @ He was killed because we did wrong things. He was raised from death in order that we might be made right with God.
bwe@Romans:5:9 @ The blood of Christ has now put us right with God. So even more, he will save us from Gods strong anger.
bwe@Romans:5:14 @ Yet death ruled over people from Adams time to Moses time. It even ruled over the people who were not as wrong as Adam. Adam was like a person who would come later.
bwe@Romans:6:4 @ We were buried when he was buried because we were baptised into his death. Christ was raised from death by the wonderful power of the Father. So we also must live a new life.
bwe@Romans:6:5 @ Have we shared with Christ and died as he died? Then we shall share with him by rising from death as he arose.
bwe@Romans:6:9 @ We know that Christ was raised from death and will not die again. Death has no power over him any more.
bwe@Romans:6:13 @ Do not use your bodies to do wrong things. But give yourselves to God like men who have been raised from death to life. Give your bodies to God and use them to do good things.
bwe@Romans:6:18 @ You were made free from doing wrong things. You were made slaves to good things.
bwe@Romans:6:20 @ When you were slaves to wrong things, you were free from doing good things.
bwe@Romans:6:22 @ But now you have been made free from wrong ways and you have been made Gods slaves. You are made good and you will live for ever.
bwe@Romans:7:2 @ A married woman belongs to her husband by law as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is free from the law that made her belong to her husband.
bwe@Romans:7:3 @ So if she belongs to another man while her husband is living, she commits adultery. But if her husband dies, she is free from that law. Then if she belongs to another man, she does not commit adultery.
bwe@Romans:7:4 @ In the same way my brothers, you died when Christ died. And you are free from the law. Now you belong to another person. You belong to the one who has been raised from death. Because of that, we are able to do what God wants us to do.
bwe@Romans:7:6 @ But now we have been made free from the law. We died, and so we are no longer slaves to the one who was our master. Now we are slaves to God in our new life. This new life is ruled by the Spirit. We do not work for the old written law.
bwe@Romans:7:14 @ We know that the law came from the Holy Spirit. But I am a weak man. I have been sold like a slave to do wrong things.
bwe@Romans:7:24 @ I am a very sad man. Who will save me from this body that will make me die?
bwe@Romans:8:2 @ The Spirit gives life in Christ Jesus. And the law of the Spirit has set me free from the law of wrong things, and the law of death.
bwe@Romans:8:11 @ God raised Christ Jesus from death. Does Gods Spirit live in you? Then God will also give life to your bodies which die. He does this through his Spirit who lives in you.
bwe@Romans:8:34 @ Who will say they are not right? Jesus Christ died. Yes, he was raised from death. He is at the right side of God. And he talks to God for us.
bwe@Romans:8:35 @ Who can take us away from Christs love? We may have trouble. We may have hard times. People may make us suffer because we believe. We may have no food to eat and no clothes to wear. We may be in danger. We may be killed with big knives. Can any of these things take us away from Christs love?
bwe@Romans:9:2 @ I am very sad. I am always troubled. 3I could almost wish I were taken away from Christ for the sake of my brothers, the people of my own nation.
bwe@Romans:10:7 @ Do not say, "Who will go down into the hole that has no bottom?" (That means, Who will go down to bring Christ up from the dead people?)
bwe@Romans:10:9 @ If you say with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and if you believe in your heart that God has raised Christ from death, you will be saved.
bwe@Romans:10:10 @ A person believes with his heart, and he is made right with God. He speaks with his mouth and so is saved from his wrong ways.
bwe@Romans:11:2 @ God has not left his people whom he knew from the first. Do you not know what the holy writings say about the prophet Elijah? He talked to God against the people of Israel.
bwe@Romans:11:15 @ God turned away from the Jews in order to bring the world back to himself. Then if that is true, when he takes the Jews back to himself, will not that be like making dead people live?
bwe@Romans:11:16 @ If the first piece of bread is holy, so is all the rest which came from the same bread mix. If the root of a tree is holy, the branches are holy also.
bwe@Romans:11:17 @ Maybe some of the trees branches were broken off. And you, a branch from a wild olive tree, were made to grow on the tree among the branches. You then have the good water that comes from the root of the olive tree.
bwe@Romans:11:24 @ You were cut off from a wild olive tree. And you were put on a good olive tree. That is not the way trees grow. But it can be done. And so, even more, the Jewish branches will be put back on their own olive tree.
bwe@Romans:11:26 @ Then all the Jews will be saved. The holy writings say, Someone will come from Zion to save people. He will take away the wrong ways of our father Jacob.
bwe@Romans:11:36 @ All things come from God, through God, and return to God. Praise him for ever! Yes, it is so!
bwe@Romans:12:6 @ We have different gifts because God has blessed us in different ways. If a person can speak words from God, he must say what he believes he should say.
bwe@Romans:12:20 @ But, If your enemy is hungry, give him food. If he is thirsty, give him a drink. When you do that, it will be as if you put a pile of coals from the fire on his head.
bwe@Romans:13:1 @ Every person must obey the rulers over him. Every ruler has his power from God. And the rulers are put there by God.
bwe@Romans:13:11 @ In all this you know what a special time it is. It is time now for you to wake up from your sleep. The time when we will be saved is nearer to us now than when we first believed.
bwe@Romans:15:12 @ Also, Isaiah says, Someone from Jesses family will come. He will come to rule the people who are not Jews. People who are not Jews will have hope in him.
bwe@Romans:15:19 @ I had the power to do signs and wonderful things through the power of the Holy Spirit. So I have told the good news of Christ all the way from the city of Jerusalem to the country of Illyricum.
bwe@Romans:15:22 @ So I have been stopped many times from coming to you.
bwe@Romans:15:29 @ And I know that when I come to you, I will bring great blessings from Christ.
bwe@Romans:15:31 @ Ask him to save me from the people in Judea who do not believe. Ask him that the gift I take to Jerusalem may please Gods people there.
bwe@1Corinthians:1:3 @ May God show you his kindness and peace which come from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
bwe@1Corinthians:1:18 @ When people who are turning away from God hear about the cross, they say, That is foolish! But for us who are being saved, the cross is the power God uses to save us.
bwe@1Corinthians:1:26 @ My brothers, remember what you were when God chose you. Not many of you were wise by the way people look at it. Not many of you had power. Not many of you came from a family with a big name.
bwe@1Corinthians:1:30 @ You are Gods children through Christ Jesus. Christ came from God and made us wise. He put us right with God. He made us holy. He set us free from our wrong ways.
bwe@1Corinthians:4:6 @ My brothers, I have said these things about Apollos and myself so that you will learn from us to live the way the holy writings say. Then you will not be proud and say, This teacher is better than that one.
bwe@1Corinthians:5:6 @ Clean out the old yeast so that you will become like new bread. You are free from the old things. Christ, the Passover Lamb, has been killed for us.
bwe@1Corinthians:5:9 @ I did not mean the people of the world <FI>people who are not Christians<Fi> -some of them use sex the wrong way; or always want more things; or steal; or worship idols. To keep away from them altogether would mean you would have to go out of the world.
bwe@1Corinthians:5:12 @ God judges those who are outside. The holy writings say, Send the bad person away from among you.
bwe@1Corinthians:6:18 @ Run away from every kind of wrong sex! Every other wrong thing which a person does is done outside of his body. But the person who uses sex the wrong way does a wrong thing to his own body.
bwe@1Corinthians:7:5 @ Do not keep from the other what is right for them to have. It is all right to stay from each other for a while, if you both agree to it. Then you will have time for prayer. Afterwards, come together again. If you do not, Satan might tempt you to do wrong.
bwe@1Corinthians:7:25 @ Here is what I say about those who are not married. (I have no law from the Lord about this. But here is what I think. You can trust me because the Lord has helped me.)
bwe@1Corinthians:7:27 @ If you have married a wife, do not try to be free from her. If you have no wife, do not look for one.
bwe@1Corinthians:7:35 @ I say this to help you, not to make it hard for you. I want to show you what is good. I do not want anything to stop you from serving the Lord.
bwe@1Corinthians:8:6 @ Yet for us there is only one God. He is the Father. All things come from him. He is the one for whom we live. And there is only one Lord. He is Jesus Christ. He made all things. He is the one who gives us life.
bwe@1Corinthians:9:11 @ We have planted seed by teaching you the good things of the Spirit. So we should receive something from you to help us to pay for our living.
bwe@1Corinthians:9:12 @ If it is right for other teachers to receive something from you, then we have more of a right to receive it. But we did not use our right. Instead, we do anything we can so that we will not stop the good news of Christ from going out.
bwe@1Corinthians:9:13 @ You know there are men who do the work in the temple. They get their food from the temple. Those who help to make sacrifices in the temple get a part of the sacrifice.
bwe@1Corinthians:9:14 @ It is the same with those who work telling the good news. The Lord said they should get their living from that work.
bwe@1Corinthians:9:15 @ And I am not writing this to ask you to do these things for me. I would rather die! It is something I am proud of, and no one shall take it away from me.
bwe@1Corinthians:10:3 @ They all ate the same food from the Spirit.
bwe@1Corinthians:10:4 @ They all drank the same water sent by the Spirit. The water they drank came from a Rock of the Spirit which went with them. That Rock was Christ.
bwe@1Corinthians:10:16 @ We ask God to bless the cup at the Lords supper. When we drink from this cup it means that the blood of Christ is for us all. We break the bread. When we eat this bread, it means that the body of Christ is for us all.
bwe@1Corinthians:10:17 @ The bread is all one loaf. In the same way, we are many people but we are one body. We all eat from the same loaf.
bwe@1Corinthians:10:21 @ You cannot drink from the cup of the Lord and from the cup of bad spirits. You cannot eat food at the table of the Lord and at the table of bad spirits.
bwe@1Corinthians:10:32 @ Do nothing that will make Jews, or Greeks, or those who belong to the church of God, turn away from God.
bwe@1Corinthians:11:4 @ Any man who talks to God or speaks words from God with his head covered brings shame on his head.
bwe@1Corinthians:11:5 @ But any woman who talks to God or speaks words from God with her head not covered brings shame on her head. She is just the same as a woman who has cut off all her hair.
bwe@1Corinthians:11:8 @ Man was not made from woman, but woman was made from man.
bwe@1Corinthians:11:12 @ As woman comes from man, so man is born by woman. And everything comes from God.
bwe@1Corinthians:11:25 @ In the same way, after they had eaten, he took the cup. He said, This cup is the new agreement made by my blood. Every time you drink from this cup, do it to remember me.
bwe@1Corinthians:11:26 @ Every time you eat this bread and drink from this cup you tell about the Lords death, until he comes again.
bwe@1Corinthians:11:27 @ So then, when anyone eats the bread and drinks from the cup in a way that is not right, he has done wrong to the body and blood of the Lord.
bwe@1Corinthians:11:28 @ Each one must look into his own heart carefully. When he has done that, he may eat the bread and drink from the cup.
bwe@1Corinthians:12:10 @ To another person the Spirit gives the power to do big works. Another can speak words from God. To another person he gives the power to know the difference between spirits. To another person he gives the gift to speak the words of God in other tongues or languages, and to another the meaning of these different tongues.
bwe@1Corinthians:12:26 @ God has given each person their right place in the church. First, there are the apostles. Second, there are prophets who speak words from God. Third, there are those who teach. Then there are those who do big works. Then there are those who have the gifts to heal people, those who help in the work of the church people, those who lead and guide others, and those who speak Gods words in different kinds of tongues or languages.
bwe@1Corinthians:12:27 @ Are all the people apostles? Can they all speak words from God? Can they all teach? Can they all do big works?
bwe@1Corinthians:13:2 @ If I speak words from God, if I can understand all secrets, and know everything, if I can move mountains by believing, but if I do not love people, I am nothing, even though I can do all of these things.
bwe@1Corinthians:13:8 @ Love never ends. The gift of speaking words from God will end. The gift of speaking in different tongues or languages will stop. The gift of knowing many things will end.
bwe@1Corinthians:14:1 @ Love is the thing you should want more than anything else. But you should also want other things the Spirit gives. You should want very much to be able to speak words from God.
bwe@1Corinthians:14:3 @ But the person who is a prophet speaks words from God to people plainly. He helps them to believe and to be strong, and he comforts them.
bwe@1Corinthians:14:5 @ I wish that you could all talk in different tongues. But I want even more that you should speak words from God for all to hear and understand. The person who speaks words from God is greater than the person who talks in tongues-unless he is able to tell the meaning of his words, so that he helps all the people in the church.
bwe@1Corinthians:14:22 @ So then, tongues are a sign to people who do not believe God. They are not a sign to those who believe him. But speaking words from God like a prophet is a sign to those who believe. It is not a sign to those who do not believe.
bwe@1Corinthians:14:24 @ But what happens if everyone speaks words from God? If such people come in, then the words from God will prove to them that they have done wrong. They will all speak to the heart.
bwe@1Corinthians:14:29 @ Two or three prophets may speak words from God and the others should say what they think about it.
bwe@1Corinthians:14:31 @ One by one you may speak words from God. In that way, all will learn something and all will be stronger in faith.
bwe@1Corinthians:14:32 @ Those who speak words from God are able to keep their own spirits quiet.
bwe@1Corinthians:14:37 @ Perhaps someone thinks, I am the one to speak words from God, or, I have the Spirit. Then know this, the Lord has told me to write these things.
bwe@1Corinthians:14:39 @ So, my brothers, the thing you should want is to speak words from God. But at the same time, do not stop anyone from talking in tongues.
bwe@1Corinthians:15:12 @ You have been told that Christ was raised from death. How can some of you say that dead people do not rise again?
bwe@1Corinthians:15:20 @ But Christ really has been raised from death. He was the first one to rise of all who have died.
bwe@1Corinthians:15:21 @ It was a man who first brought death. So it was also a man who was first raised from death.
bwe@1Corinthians:15:35 @ But someone will ask, How can dead people be raised? What kind of body will they have when they come back from death?
bwe@1Corinthians:15:41 @ The sun is fine in one way. The moon is fine in another way. The stars are fine in still another way. And one star is fine in a different way from another star.
bwe@1Corinthians:15:42 @ So it is with the body that is raised from death. When it is put in the ground it is a body that dies. When it rises from death, it will never die again.
bwe@1Corinthians:15:47 @ The first man came from earth. He was made from the dust of the earth. The second Adam is the Lord from heaven.
bwe@1Corinthians:15:48 @ Those who are made of earth are like the man made of dust. Those who are for heaven are like the man from heaven.
bwe@1Corinthians:15:49 @ We were made like the man of dust but we shall look like the man from heaven.
bwe@1Corinthians:15:57 @ So, my dear brothers, stand strong. Do not be moved from what you believe. Work hard for the Lord. You know that your work for the Lord will not be for nothing.
bwe@1Corinthians:16:22 @ Anyone who does not love the Lord Jesus Christ, should be cut off from God. Come soon, Lord!
bwe@2Corinthians:1:4 @ We have plenty of the same troubles that Christ had. But we also have plenty of comfort and help from him.
bwe@2Corinthians:1:9 @ He saved us from the death that was so near, and he still saves us. We believe that God will keep on saving us.
bwe@2Corinthians:1:14 @ I wanted to visit you and then go to Macedonia. I wanted to visit you again when I was on my way back from Macedonia. Then you would send me on my way to Judea.
bwe@2Corinthians:3:1 @ Do you think we are starting again to tell how good we are? Do we need letters to tell about us, as some teachers do? We do not need letters to you or from you to praise us.
bwe@2Corinthians:3:3 @ All can see that you are a letter from Christ written by us. It is not written in ink, but it is written in the Spirit of the living God. It is not written on pieces of rock, but on the hearts of people.
bwe@2Corinthians:3:13 @ We are not like Moses. He put a cloth over his face so that the people of Israel would not see that the light from God was dying.
bwe@2Corinthians:4:7 @ This is something of great value within us, but we are like pots made of earth and clay. This power is greater than any other power. But it comes from God, not from us.
bwe@2Corinthians:5:2 @ While we are in the house we have now, we are always crying and wanting to have our house from heaven.
bwe@2Corinthians:5:14 @ He died for all, so that those who live would not live to please themselves. But they should live to please him who gave his life for them and rose again from death.
bwe@2Corinthians:6:1 @ We work with God. So we beg you, do not take Gods blessing and get nothing from it.
bwe@2Corinthians:6:16 @ So the Lord says, Come away from among bad people. Stay away from them. Do not touch what is not clean. And I will receive you.
bwe@2Corinthians:7:1 @ My dear people, since God has promised us these things, we should make ourselves clean. We should clean out everything that makes our lives or our spirits dirty. We should try to be altogether holy because we respect God with fear. place in your hearts. We have not done wrong to anyone. We have not hurt anyone. We have not taken anything from anyone.
bwe@2Corinthians:7:8 @ I do not like to make you sad, but I am glad that it made you sad and made you turn from your wrong ways. You took it all as from God. So then, we did not really hurt you.
bwe@2Corinthians:7:9 @ When we are sad the way God wants us to be, we turn from our wrong ways. Then we are saved and we can never be sorry about that. But the sorrow of the world brings death.
bwe@2Corinthians:7:10 @ See what happened. When you were sad, the way God wanted you to be, then you tried to do the right thing. You wanted to free yourself from wrong. You hated what is wrong. You were afraid. You wanted very much to do what is right. You stood for the right. You punished wrong doing. In every way you showed that you did right in this matter.
bwe@2Corinthians:9:4 @ If some men from Macedonia come with me and see that you are not ready, then we will be ashamed, and you too. We will be ashamed that we were so sure.
bwe@2Corinthians:9:6 @ Here is something to remember. The man who plants a little bit will get only a little from it. The man who plants much will get much from it.
bwe@2Corinthians:10:5 @ We can break down what people think and every big idea that tries to stop people from knowing God. And we can make every thought a prisoner to obey Christ.
bwe@2Corinthians:11:3 @ But the snake fooled Eve by his trick. And I am afraid that your minds will be drawn away from a clean, pure love of Christ.
bwe@2Corinthians:11:8 @ I took pay from other churches. I made them poor so that I might help you.
bwe@2Corinthians:11:9 @ When I was with you and needed money, I did not make any of you pay me. When the brothers came from Macedonia, they gave me what I needed. So I was not, and I will not be, any trouble to you.
bwe@2Corinthians:11:32 @ But I sat in a basket. Then it was put out through a window in the wall and was let down. And so I got away from him.
bwe@2Corinthians:12:7 @ Because the things God showed me were so wonderful, I might have become too proud of myself. But something happened and stopped that. It was like a thorn in me. It came from Satan <FI>the devil<Fi> to trouble me. It came to stop me from being too proud.
bwe@2Corinthians:12:20 @ And I am afraid that when I come my God will make me ashamed of you. I am afraid that my heart will be very sad about you. Many have been doing wrong things for a long time. Many have not turned away from their dirty ways, their wrong use of sex, and the things they should be ashamed of.
bwe@Galatians:1:1 @ I am Paul the apostle, a messenger from God. Men did not call me to be an apostle. Men did not make me an apostle. Jesus Christ and God the Father made me an apostle. It was the same God the Father who raised Jesus from death.
bwe@Galatians:1:4 @ Christ gave his life to pay for the wrong things we have done. He did this to set us free from the wrong ways of this world. This is what our God and Father wanted him to do.
bwe@Galatians:1:8 @ We are wrong if we tell you a different kind of good news. Even an angel from heaven is wrong to tell you something different. Let a punishment from God come upon us if we tell you a different kind of good news.
bwe@Galatians:3:13 @ Christ has saved us from the curse which the law put on us. He took the curse on himself. It should have been on us. The holy writings say, A curse be on everyone who hangs on a tree!
bwe@Galatians:4:14 @ My sickness troubled you. But you did not think wrongly of me or turn away from me. You received me as if I were an angel from God, as if I were Christ Jesus.
bwe@Galatians:4:17 @ Other people are trying hard to get you on their side. But they do not mean to help you. They want to get you away from Christ so that you will listen to them.
bwe@Galatians:4:24 @ These things have another meaning. These two women are like two agreements. One agreement came from Mount Sinai. The children are born slaves. That agreement is like Hagar.
bwe@Galatians:5:4 @ Some of you are trying to obey the law, so that God will call you good. If you do this, you have been cut off from Christ. You have lost the blessing of God.
bwe@Galatians:5:7 @ You were doing well. Who stopped you from doing what is right?
bwe@Galatians:5:18 @ If you do what the Spirit wants you to do, then you will be free from the law.
bwe@Galatians:6:12 @ Some people want to do things that can be seen. They try to force you to be circumcised. They want to hide from trouble which would come to them if they talk about the cross of Christ.
bwe@Galatians:6:17 @ From now on, please do not trouble me. For I have marks on my body that show I belong to the Lord Jesus.
bwe@Ephesians:1:14 @ The Holy Spirit is the first part of what we are to receive from God. This proves that we will get all God has promised. Some day we shall have them all. Praise God! He is very great and wonderful. 15,
bwe@Ephesians:1:19 @ God used that power when he raised Christ from death and had him sit at his right side in heaven.
bwe@Ephesians:2:6 @ God raised us from death with Christ Jesus and gave us a place to sit with him in heaven.
bwe@Ephesians:2:8 @ You have been saved by Gods love and kindness because you believed. It was not because of anything you did, but it was a gift from God.
bwe@Ephesians:2:12 @ Remember you did not know Christ at that time. You were far away from the people of Israel. You had no part in the agreements which God promised to them. You had no hope and you were without God in this world.
bwe@Ephesians:2:17 @ He came and said that there is now peace. There is peace for you who were far away from God and for those who were near.
bwe@Ephesians:3:15 @ From him every family in heaven or on earth gets its name.
bwe@Ephesians:4:16 @ The whole body is joined and held together by every joint that it has. It is from Christ that the whole body grows as each different part does its work. It grows so that it becomes stronger in love.
bwe@Ephesians:4:18 @ Their minds are dark. They are far away from Gods life because they do not know the truth. They have no love in their hearts.
bwe@Ephesians:4:20 @ That is not what you have learned from Christ!
bwe@Ephesians:5:14 @ So it is said, Wake up, you who are asleep! Rise from death. And Christ will give you light.
bwe@Philippians:1:5 @ I thank God for the joy we share in telling the good news from the very first day until now.
bwe@Philippians:2:12 @ My dear people, you have always obeyed me. God has saved you from wrong ways. Now show this by the good things that you do. You must live that way, not only when I am with you, but much more now that I am not with you. Think of how wrong it will be if you do not. Try hard to work out how to do it.
bwe@Philippians:3:10 @ I want to know Christ. I want to know the power that raised him from death. I want to have a part in his trouble. I want to be like him in his death.
bwe@Philippians:3:11 @ Then I hope to be raised from death.
bwe@Philippians:3:20 @ But we belong to heaven. And we are waiting for the Saviour to come from heaven. He is the Lord Jesus Christ.
bwe@Philippians:4:8 @ I taught you, and you learned things from me. You heard the things I said, and you saw the things I did. Do these same things yourselves. Then God who gives peace will be with you.
bwe@Colossians:1:10 @ We ask him that you will live the way the Lord wants you to live, so that you will please him in everything you do. We ask that you will do everything that is good. We ask that you will see the fruit from what you do. We ask that you will know more and more about God.
bwe@Colossians:1:13 @ He has set us free from the kingdom where it is dark. And he has put us into the kingdom where his dear Son rules.
bwe@Colossians:1:18 @ He is also the head of the body which is the church <FI>the people who believe in Jesus Christ<Fi>. He is the beginning, the first one to rise from death, so that he would be the first one in everything.
bwe@Colossians:1:21 @ At one time you were far away from God. You hated him in your hearts and you did wrong things.
bwe@Colossians:2:12 @ You were buried with Christ when you were baptised. You were also raised with him to a new life when you were baptised. You were raised because you believed in the power of God who raised Christ from death.
bwe@Colossians:2:18 @ Do not let anyone tell you that you are wrong and that to be humble you must worship angels. He talks about things he has not seen. He is very proud, but he has nothing to be proud of, because his thoughts come from his own mind.
bwe@Colossians:2:19 @ He is not joined to the real head which is Christ. It is from him that the whole body receives strength and is held together by its joints and muscles. It is from him that the body grows as God makes it grow.
bwe@Colossians:2:23 @ These laws look as if they are good laws. They make a show of doing things for God. They make people humble themselves in some way. They make people control their bodies in certain ways. But they have no power to keep people from doing all the wrong things they want to do.
bwe@Colossians:3:1 @ Were you raised from death with Christ? Then look for the things which are in heaven. There Christ is sitting at the right hand of God.
bwe@Colossians:3:11 @ In this new person, there is no difference between a Greek and a Jew. There is no difference between a man who is circumcised with the mark of the Jew and a man who is not circumcised. There is no difference between a person from a friendly country or someone from a country which is not friendly. There is no difference between a slave and a person who is free. Christ is everything and is in all of them.
bwe@Colossians:3:24 @ You know you will get pay from the Lord, for you are the servants of the Lord Christ.
bwe@Colossians:4:16 @ When you have read this letter, then be sure that it is also read to the church people in Laodicea. And be sure that you read the letter which will be sent to you from Laodicea.
bwe@1Thessalonians:1:7 @ People in Macedonia and Greece have heard from you the message about the Lord. And people everywhere have heard that you believe in God. So there is no need for us to write about your faith.
bwe@1Thessalonians:1:9 @ And you wait for his Son to come again from heaven. God raised his Son Jesus from death. It is Jesus who saves us from Gods great anger which is to come.
bwe@1Thessalonians:2:13 @ And here is another reason why we always thank God all the time. When you heard Gods word from us, you did not say, That is mens word. But you said, That is Gods word. And it really is Gods word. The word is working in you Christians.
bwe@1Thessalonians:2:16 @ They try to stop us from talking to those people who are not Jews. They do not want them to be saved. So they are always doing wrong things. And now at last, God has become very angry with them. have been away from you for a short time in body, but not in heart. We wanted very much to see you face to face, and we tried hard to come.
bwe@1Thessalonians:3:6 @ But now Timothy has come back to us from you. He has brought us the good news that you are still believing and have love in your hearts. He has told us that you always remember us. He also told us that you want to see us, just as we want to see you.
bwe@1Thessalonians:4:3 @ This is what God wants. He wants you to live clean lives. He wants you to keep away from wrong sex.
bwe@1Thessalonians:4:12 @ Then people who do not belong to the church will respect you. And you will not need help from anyone. here is something I want you to know about those who have died. You should not cry for them like people cry who have no hope.
bwe@1Thessalonians:4:15 @ The Lord himself will come down from heaven. There will be a shout, a great angel will speak, and Gods loud horn or trumpet will be blown.
bwe@1Thessalonians:5:17 @ Do not despise people who speak words from God.
bwe@1Thessalonians:5:20 @ May God himself, who gives peace, make you pure and clean. You are set apart and belong only to him. And may your spirit and soul and body all together be kept free from fault until our Lord Jesus Christ comes.
bwe@1Thessalonians:5:24 @ I give you this order from the Lord. Read this letter to all the Christian brothers.
bwe@2Thessalonians:1:7 @ And he will give rest to you who are having troubles, and to us also. He will give this rest when our Lord Jesus comes back from heaven. The Lord Jesus will come with his strong angels in flaming fire.
bwe@2Thessalonians:1:9 @ They will be destroyed for ever. That will be their punishment. They will be for ever separated from the Lord and from his great and wonderful power.
bwe@2Thessalonians:2:2 @ Do not let your minds be easily upset. Do not be troubled by a spirit, or a message, or a letter. Do not be troubled if you hear that the day of the Lord has already come. Some people will say it came from us.
bwe@2Thessalonians:2:8 @ Then that evil man will be seen. The Lord Jesus will kill him with the breath from his mouth. The coming of the Lord Jesus will be so bright and wonderful that it will put the evil man to an end.
bwe@2Thessalonians:2:13 @ My brothers, the Lord loves you. We should thank God for you always. Here is why. From the beginning God chose you to be saved. You were saved because the Spirit made you holy and because you believed the true message.
bwe@2Thessalonians:3:2 @ Ask God that we may be saved from bad people who do wrong things. Not everyone believes in Christ.
bwe@2Thessalonians:3:3 @ But the Lord can be trusted. He will make you strong. He will keep you safe from all that is wrong.
bwe@1Timothy:1:5 @ Here is what teachers should aim at. Gods people should love each other with a love which comes from a clean heart, a clear mind, and true faith.
bwe@1Timothy:1:14 @ Our Lord showed me much love and kindness. I believed in him and had the love which comes from Christ Jesus.
bwe@1Timothy:4:14 @ Use the gift you have. It was given to you when the church leaders put their hands on your head and gave you a message from God.
bwe@1Timothy:5:13 @ Not only that, but they also become lazy. They walk about going from house to house. Not only are they lazy but they talk too much and tell stories about people. They tell things they should not tell.
bwe@1Timothy:6:5 @ They quarrel. The minds of these men are bad. They do not know what is true. They think that worshipping God makes people rich. Keep away from such people.
bwe@1Timothy:6:20 @ Timothy, take good care of what has been given to you. Some teachers say they know many things, but these things are not true. Do not teach these foolish things that do not come from God. Do not teach these things that do not agree together.
bwe@2Timothy:2:8 @ Keep your mind on Jesus Christ. He was raised from death. He was of the family of David. That is the good news I tell people.
bwe@2Timothy:2:16 @ Have no part in foolish talk that does not come from God. That kind of talk will take people farther and farther away from God.
bwe@2Timothy:2:18 @ These men say that the time when people are raised from death is past already. That is not true. And what they say is making some people stop believing.
bwe@2Timothy:2:21 @ So if a person keeps himself clean from these things, he will be like a dish that is used for a fine work. It is kept as a better dish for the head man of the house, and it is ready for any good thing he wants to use it for.
bwe@2Timothy:2:26 @ And they may get free again from the devils trap. He has caught them to do what he wants them to do.
bwe@2Timothy:3:5 @ They act as if they worshipped God, yet they do not let Gods power work in their lives. Keep away from people like that.
bwe@2Timothy:3:15 @ From the time you were a child you knew the holy writings. They showed you how to be saved by believing in Christ Jesus.
bwe@2Timothy:3:16 @ All that is written in the holy writings comes from the Spirit of God. The holy writings are good for these things: to teach people, to show them when they are wrong, to make them see what is right, to teach them to do what is right.
bwe@2Timothy:4:8 @ From now on, my reward is waiting for me, because I have done what is right. The Lord will repay me on the day when he comes back. He judges the right way. I will not be the only one to get a reward from him. But he will repay all those who want very much to see him.
bwe@2Timothy:4:14 @ Alexander, the man who makes things from copper, did many wrong things to me. The Lord will punish him for what he has done.
bwe@2Timothy:4:15 @ You too must keep away from him, for he was very much against what we said.
bwe@2Timothy:4:18 @ The Lord will save me from every wrong thing. He will bring me safely into the kingdom of heaven. Praise him for ever and ever. Yes, he will!
bwe@Titus:1:10 @ You must put a stop to their talking. They stop whole families from believing in Christ because they teach things which they have no right to teach. They teach because they want to get paid for it, even though it is wrong.
bwe@Titus:2:14 @ Christ gave himself for us so that he might make us free from all that is wrong. He gave himself to make us into clean people who belong to him and want to do good.
bwe@Philemon:1:15 @ Maybe it was good for him to be away from you for a while. Now you will have him with you for ever.
bwe@Hebrews:1:3 @ He shines as bright as God. He is just like God himself. He holds up the world by the power of his word. He made people clean from their wrong ways. Then he sat down beside God in heaven.
bwe@Hebrews:2:15 @ People were afraid to die. All their lives they were like slaves. When Jesus died, he was able to set them free from their fear.
bwe@Hebrews:3:12 @ My brothers, take care that not one of you has a heart that does not believe. Such a heart will take you away from the living God.
bwe@Hebrews:4:13 @ God is the one we must meet. Nothing can be hidden from him. Everything is open and he can see it.
bwe@Hebrews:5:1 @ Every high priest is chosen from among men. His work is to stand before God for people. He brings gifts and makes sacrifices to God for the wrong things people have done.
bwe@Hebrews:5:7 @ When Jesus was a man, he talked to God who was able to save him from death. He called loudly to him with tears. God heard him because he honoured and respected God.
bwe@Hebrews:5:12 @ By this time you should be able to teach others. But you need someone to teach you Gods word again from the very beginning. Like children, you need milk, not meat.
bwe@Hebrews:6:1 @ So, let us leave behind the first teachings about Christ. And let us go on to things that are grown up. We must not go back to the beginning again and talk about turning away from doing things that bring death to us. We must not go back again and talk about believing in God. Let us go forward.
bwe@Hebrews:6:2 @ We must not go back to teaching about baptizing people in water, about putting hands on peoples heads, about people being raised from death, and about people being judged for ever.
bwe@Hebrews:6:4 @ Some people had light in their hearts once. They knew the gift from heaven.
bwe@Hebrews:6:9 @ This is the way we talk. But dear people, we are sure that better things are true about you. Yes, you show all the good ways of people who have been saved from their wrong ways.
bwe@Hebrews:7:1 @ Melchizedek was king of the city of Salem. He was a priest of God who is the greatest of all. Melchizedek met Abraham when Abraham came back from killing some bad kings. And Melchizedek blessed him.
bwe@Hebrews:7:2 @ Abraham divided all that he took away from the kings into ten parts. He gave Melchizedek one part. First, the name Melchizedek means the king who is true and right with God. Then he was king of Salem. That means king of peace.
bwe@Hebrews:7:3 @ He has no father or mother. The names of the family from which he comes are not written down. It is not written down that he was born or that he died. But, like the Son of God, he stays on being a priest for ever.
bwe@Hebrews:7:6 @ But Melchizedek was not from Levis family. Yet he took a tenth of what Abraham had. And he blessed Abraham, to whom God made the promise.
bwe@Hebrews:7:9 @ And we say that Levi, the priest who takes the tenth from the people, gave his tenth through Abraham.
bwe@Hebrews:7:13 @ The one we are talking about belonged to another tribe. No man from his tribe ever made sacrifices in Gods house.
bwe@Hebrews:7:14 @ Everyone knows that our Lord Jesus came from the tribe of Judah. And Moses never said anything about priests coming from that tribe.
bwe@Hebrews:7:16 @ He was not made a priest by law. The law said that the priest must come from a certain tribe. But he was made a priest because he has power to live for ever.
bwe@Hebrews:7:26 @ We needed such a high priest as he is. He is holy. He is good. He has never done any wrong. He has been taken away from among bad people, and taken up higher than the sky.
bwe@Hebrews:8:11 @ A man will not need to teach another man, or his brother. He will not say, "Know the Lord," because everyone from the youngest to the oldest will know me.
bwe@Hebrews:9:4 @ In the Most Holy Place was a pan made of gold. In this pan a fire could burn to make a sweet-smelling smoke. The box of the agreement was also in the Most Holy Place. It was covered all over with gold. In this box were: the golden pot, which had some of the food God sent from heaven for the people in the desert; Aarons stick which grew flowers on it; and the stones which had Gods agreement written on them.
bwe@Hebrews:9:13 @ The priest takes the blood of bulls and goats, and the ashes from a young cow that has been burned. He puts this on the people who have done wrong things. This makes their bodies clean.
bwe@Hebrews:9:14 @ If the blood of animals can do that, then the blood of Christ will clean our hearts much better. Christ gave himself to God as the sacrifice. He did this by the Spirit who lives for ever. He was a perfect sacrifice. He will clean our hearts from useless acts of worship. Then we can serve the living God.
bwe@Hebrews:10:4 @ The blood of bulls and goats can never clean wrong things from peoples hearts.
bwe@Hebrews:10:20 @ He made a new and living way for us. He opened up Gods way specially for us. It lets us through the big curtain or cloth which hides God from us. This happened when Jesus gave his body as a sacrifice.
bwe@Hebrews:10:22 @ So let us come to him with a true heart. Let us come because we believe all these things. Let us come with our hearts washed clean from our wrong ways. Let us come with our bodies washed with clean water.
bwe@Hebrews:10:34 @ You shared in the troubles of those who were in prison. When your things were taken from you, you were happy. You knew that you had better things in heaven, things that would always belong to you.
bwe@Hebrews:11:7 @ God told Noah about things that would happen. These things had never happened before. Noah believed God; he respected God. He built a big house on a boat, and so his family was saved <FI>from the big flood<Fi>. By believing God he showed that the other people were wrong. He was put right with God because he believed.
bwe@Hebrews:11:12 @ Abraham was too old to be a father, but a great nation was born from that one man. They are as many as the stars in the sky and as the sands on the seaside. No man can count them.
bwe@Hebrews:11:34 @ The big, hot fire did not burn them. They got away from men who wanted to kill them with long knives or swords. They were weak, but they became strong. They became very strong to fight. They drove away the armies of their enemies.
bwe@Hebrews:12:2 @ We must keep our eyes on Jesus. He believed from first to last. What was put in front of him made him glad, so he did not give up when the people nailed him on a cross. He did not care about the shame. And now he is sitting beside God.
bwe@Hebrews:12:16 @ Take care that no one takes part in wrong ways of using sex. And take care that no one is like Esau and forgets God. He was the older son. But he sold all that he would get from his father. He sold it for a little food.
bwe@Hebrews:12:25 @ Take care that you listen to God who is talking now. The people were punished when they would not listen to the One who talked on earth. And we will be punished much worse if we will not listen to the One who talks from heaven.
bwe@Hebrews:13:5 @ Do not let the love of money control your life. Be satisfied with what you have. God himself has said, I will never be away from you. I will never leave you alone.
bwe@Hebrews:13:10 @ We have a sacrifice. But priests who serve God on earth have no right to eat from this sacrifice.
bwe@Hebrews:13:20 @ God gives peace. He brought back our Lord Jesus from death. Our Lord Jesus cares for Gods people and he gave his blood for the agreement that stands for ever.
bwe@James:1:7 @ That person must not think that he will get anything from the Lord.
bwe@James:1:17 @ Every good thing and every fine gift comes from heaven. It comes from the Father of all light. He does not change and he makes no shadow by turning.
bwe@James:1:25 @ But there is a law that is all right. It sets people free![[pBiblx2]](/img/menu.png)
