Romans:1:2 @ Through his prophets long ago God promised this good news to people, in the holy writings.
bwe@Romans:1:3 @ The good news was about his Son. He is Jesus Christ our Lord. He was a man born in Davids family.
bwe@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:1:5 @ This same Jesus Christ was kind to me. And he made me an apostle. I am sent in his name so that people in all nations will obey him.
bwe@Romans:1:7 @ I send greetings to all the Christians who live in the city of Rome. God loves you and has called you to be his people. May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ bless you. In their kindness may they give you peace.
bwe@Romans:1:9 @ God knows that I always talk to him about you. I worship him in my heart while I tell the good news about his Son.
bwe@Romans:1:13 @ My brothers, I want you to know that I have often planned to come to you. But something has stopped me until now. I planned to come so that I might see good things happen among you. I have done this in the other nations which are not Jewish.
bwe@Romans:1:14 @ This is something I must do for the Greek people and for all other people. I must do it for people who are wise and for people who are not wise.
bwe@Romans:1:17 @ The good news shows how God puts a person right. God puts a person right when that person believes in his Son and keeps on believing. The holy writings say, A person who is put right because he believes, will live for ever.
bwe@Romans:1:20 @ People cannot see that God has power which lasts for ever. They cannot see that he is really God. But ever since he made the world, he has clearly shown this by the things he made. So they cannot say, I did not know about God.
bwe@Romans:2:9 @ Every one who does what is wrong will have much trouble and a hard time. This will happen to the Jews first, then to those who are not Jews.
bwe@Romans:2:10 @ And every one who does what is good, will be made great. He will have honour and peace. This will happen to the Jews first and then to those who are not Jews.
bwe@Romans:2:16 @ This will be on the day when God judges the things men have kept secret. Jesus Christ will be the judge. That is part of the good news I tell people.
bwe@Romans:2:25 @ Circumcision of the body is a good thing if you obey the law. But if you break the law, you are like a man who has not been circumcised with this mark of the Jew.
bwe@Romans:3:3 @ But some Jews did not keep his law. Does that mean that God cannot be trusted?
bwe@Romans:3:4 @ No, it does not mean that. God must be true, even if every man is not true. The holy writings say this about God: People will see that you are right in what you say. You will be without fault when you are judged.
bwe@Romans:3:22 @ God puts people right with himself when they believe in Jesus Christ. He does this for all who believe. They are all alike.
bwe@Romans:3:25 @ God gave him as a sacrifice. When people believe in him, his blood pays for the wrong things they have done. This shows that God is good and right. He was right when he forgave the wrong things that people did long ago.
bwe@Romans:3:26 @ God also shows that he is right now. He does this when he makes right any person who believes in Jesus.
bwe@Romans:4:4 @ When a person works, his pay is not a gift to him. His pay belongs to him.
bwe@Romans:4:9 @ Does God bless only people who have been circumcised? Or does he also bless those who are not? We say, because Abraham believed God, God called him a good man. His faith made him right with God.
bwe@Romans:4:13 @ God promised Abraham and his family that the world would belong to them. God did not make the promise because Abraham obeyed the law. But he made the promise because Abraham believed him and was put right with God.
bwe@Romans:4:18 @ Abraham believed and hoped, though there was nothing to give him hope. He believed that he would become the father of many nations. God had told him this would happen.
bwe@Romans:4:19 @ He did not stop believing when he thought about his own body. It was almost dead. He was about one hundred years old. He did not stop believing when he thought about Sarah, even though she had never given birth to any children.
bwe@Romans:4:20 @ He did not stop believing Gods promise. He believed God very much. He did not praise God for his own faith, but for Gods promise.
bwe@Romans:5:5 @ We will not be disappointed by this hope. God has given us the Holy Spirit. And the Holy Spirit has put Gods love in our hearts.
bwe@Romans:5:8 @ God shows his love for us in this way: Christ died to save us while we were bad people.
bwe@Romans:5:10 @ When we were enemies, the death of his Son brought us back to God. Now that we are made right with God, it is the life of Jesus that will save us.
bwe@Romans:5:11 @ Not only is that true, but it is through our Lord Jesus Christ that we can enjoy God. This is for all who have been brought back to God by him.
bwe@Romans:5:15 @ But the free gift is not like the wrong thing. Many people died because one man did a wrong thing. This is sure. God was very kind and he gave a free gift. This gift was given to many people because one man, Jesus Christ, did a very kind thing.
bwe@Romans:5:16 @ The free gift is not like the wrong thing one man did. Because of that one man people were judged. And they were punished. Because many people did wrong things, God gave his free gift and many people were made right with him.
bwe@Romans:5:17 @ One man did a wrong thing. And so death ruled over people because of that one man. God has been kind to people and given them his free gift. That gift is to make people right with God. People who take that gift will live and rule because of one man, Jesus Christ.
bwe@Romans:5:21 @ The wrong things people did ruled over them, and they died. Now God has been very kind. He has made people right with him. So now Gods blessing will rule over them, and they will live for ever. Jesus Christ our Lord has done this for them.
bwe@Romans:6:3 @ All of us have been baptised in water. This means we are joined to Christ Jesus. We were baptised into his death. Do you know that?
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:6:6 @ We know this is true. The old person we used to be was nailed to the cross with him, so that our bodies which do wrong things would die. Then we will no longer be like slaves to the wrong things we used to do.
bwe@Romans:6:16 @ If you give yourselves to be slaves and obey your master, you are not free. You are his slaves. Do you not know this: you may be slaves to wrong things? But you will not live for ever. Or you may be slaves to obey God. Then you will be made good people and live with him.
bwe@Romans:6:23 @ The reward that wrong ways give is to die. But the gift which God gives is to live for ever. Christ Jesus our Lord has done this for us.
bwe@Romans:7:1 @ My brothers, I am saying this to you people who know the law. Do you not know that the law is master over a person only while he lives?
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:7:24 @ I am a very sad man. Who will save me from this body that will make me die?
bwe@Romans:7:25 @ Thank God for Jesus Christ our Lord who will do it! So this is the way it is. In my mind I am a slave to do the law of God, but in my body I am a slave to do the law of wrong things.
bwe@Romans:8:3 @ God has done what the law could not do. The things people did made the law weak. God sent his own Son in a body of man. His body was like the bodies which others use to do wrong things. He sent him because people have done wrong things. And he judged the wrong things people have done in their bodies.
bwe@Romans:8:4 @ He did this so that we might be good people as the law said we should be. We are good people if we live the way the Spirit wants us to live, not the way our bodies want to live.
bwe@Romans:8:7 @ People who think about the things of this life are Gods enemies. They do not obey Gods law. They cannot obey it.
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:8:17 @ If we are his children, God will give us the good things that children receive. He will give us these blessings along with Christ. He will give it to us if we suffer with Christ. If we suffer with Christ, we will also be made great with him.
bwe@Romans:8:18 @ I think that the troubles we have in this life are nothing when we think of the great things that we shall have.
bwe@Romans:8:23 @ And not the world only, but we ourselves also cry out. We have the first blessing God gives of his Spirit. But we cry out in our hearts. We are waiting for God to finish making us his sons. Then our bodies will be set free.
bwe@Romans:8:28 @ We know that God works out everything for the good of those who love him. They are the people who are part of his plan.
bwe@Romans:8:29 @ He knew all along that he would choose them. He chose them to be made like his Son. Then his Son would be the first one of many brothers.
bwe@Romans:8:31 @ So what shall we say about this? If God is on our side, who can be against us?
bwe@Romans:8:32 @ He did not keep his own Son, but gave him up for us all. Because he has given him to us, will he not also give us all other things?
bwe@Romans:8:39 @ I know this. Death, life, angels, rulers, things happening now, things that will happen, high things, low things; nothing else in all the world can come between us and Gods love in Christ Jesus our Lord.
bwe@Romans:9:1 @ What I say is true and Christ knows it is. I do not tell a lie. My heart tells me it is true. And the Holy Spirit knows this.
bwe@Romans:9:3 @ They are Jews. God gave them the right to be his sons. He showed them how great he is. He made agreements with them. He gave them the law. He told them how to worship him. He gave them the promises.
bwe@Romans:9:6 @ Not all the people in Abrahams family are his children. But the holy writings say, It is Isaacs family who will be called your family.
bwe@Romans:9:7 @ This means that not all who were born in Abrahams family are Gods children. God promised Abraham a son <FI>Isaac<Fi>. His children <FI>the Jews<Fi> are the ones that God called Abrahams true family.
bwe@Romans:9:8 @ For this is what God promised, About this time next year I will come and Sarah shall have a son.
bwe@Romans:9:11 @ When the children were not yet born, they had done nothing good or bad. God chooses the people he wants. He does not choose people because of what they have done. He chooses people who will answer his call. So he said to Rebecca, The older one will be a slave of the younger one.
bwe@Romans:9:19 @ But you are only a man. Will you tell God what to do? Can the pot say to the man who made it, Why did you make me like this?
bwe@Romans:9:21 @ God has a right to be very angry if he wants to be. He has the right to show his power. God was very angry with some people who deserved to die. And yet he waited a long time before he did anything to them.
bwe@Romans:10:2 @ I can say this about them, they want very much to obey God. But they do not know the right way.
bwe@Romans:10:5 @ Moses wrote this: A man who obeys the law will live by it.
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:11:1 @ So I ask, has God left his people? No, he has not! I myself am a Jew. I was born in Abrahams family. I belong to the tribe of Benjamin.
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:11:13 @ Now I say this to you who are not Jews. I am an apostle to those who are not Jews, so I think highly of the work I have been sent to do.
bwe@Romans:11:22 @ See how kind God is. And see how hard he is. He is hard on those who have fallen. But God is kind to you if you go on following in his ways. If you do not, you also will be broken off.
bwe@Romans:11:25 @ My brothers, I want you to know something that has been a secret. Then you will not be proud of yourselves. The secret is this. Some Jews will have hard hearts until the right number of other people have come in.
bwe@Romans:11:27 @ This will be my agreement with them when I take away the wrong things they have done.
bwe@Romans:11:29 @ God does not change his gifts or his call to people.
bwe@Romans:12:2 @ Do not be like the people of this world, but have a new mind. Then you will prove for yourselves what God wants you to do. That will be good. It will please God. And it will be all right.
bwe@Romans:12:3 @ God has given me this gift. So I say this to every one of you. Do not think you are better than you really are. But think of yourself as you are. You are what you are because God has given you something when you believed.
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:13:8 @ Do not have any debts, but love each other. Anyone who loves his neighbour has done all that the law says we should do.
bwe@Romans:13:9 @ The law says, Do not commit adultery. Do not kill. Do not steal. Do not want things that belong to other people. These laws and others are all in this one law: Love your neighbour as you love yourself.
bwe@Romans:13:10 @ Anyone who loves his neighbour will do no wrong to him. So love does all that the law says to do.
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:14:4 @ Why do you judge another persons servant? He stands or he falls before his own master. But he will stand because the Lord can give him power to stand.
bwe@Romans:14:5 @ One man thinks, This day is better than that day. But another man thinks, All days are alike. Every man should be sure in his own mind what he believes.
bwe@Romans:14:13 @ So we must not judge each other any longer. But it is better for us to judge this. Never put anything in a brothers way that will hurt him or that will make him fall down.
bwe@Romans:14:18 @ A person who does the work of Christ in this way pleases God. And people like him.
bwe@Romans:14:20 @ Do not spoil what God has done because you want some food. Everything is right. But it is wrong for anyone to eat anything if that will make his brother fall.
bwe@Romans:15:2 @ But each of us must please his neighbour. He must do what is good for him and what will help him do better.
bwe@Romans:15:8 @ What I say is this. Christ came to serve the Jews. He did this to prove that what God said was true. He proved that God kept his promises to the fathers.
bwe@Romans:15:9 @ He did this so that people who are not Jews would praise God because he is kind. The holy writings say, So I will praise you among the people who are not Jews. I will sing songs to your name.
bwe@Romans:15:28 @ I will finish doing this, and I will give them what the people send them. Then I will go by you on my way to Spain.
bwe@Romans:15:30 @ My brothers, I ask you to do this for the sake of the Lord Jesus Christ and because the Spirit has given you love. Talk to God for me. And I also will talk to him.
bwe@Romans:16:13 @ Give my greetings to Rufus. The Lord chose him. Give my greetings also to his mother who is like a mother to me.
bwe@Romans:16:15 @ Give my greetings to Philologus, Julia, Nereus, and his sister, and Olympas, and all Gods people who are with them.
bwe@Romans:16:17 @ Brothers, I ask you to do this. Watch the people who make quarrels. They make people do wrong because they teach things you have not been taught. Have nothing to do with those people.
bwe@Romans:16:22 @ (I, Tertius, send you Christian greetings. I am writing this letter for Paul.)
bwe@Romans:16:23 @ Gaius sends you greetings. I am staying in his house. The whole church that meets in his house sends you greetings too. Erastus sends greetings to you. He takes care of the money for the city. Our brother Quartus sends you greetings.
bwe@Romans:16:24 @ I ask our Lord Jesus Christ to show you his loving kindness. He will!
bwe@Romans:16:26 @ The books of the prophets have told this message. The God who lives for ever told the prophets to write this message so that all the people who are not Jews will believe and obey.
bwe@1Corinthians:1:1 @ I am Paul. God called me to be an apostle of Jesus Christ. He did this because he wanted to.
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:1:9 @ God never fails anyone. It is he who called you to belong to his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
bwe@1Corinthians:1:11 @ My brothers, I say this because I have been told by some of Chloes family that you are quarrelling.
bwe@1Corinthians:1:12 @ This is what I mean. Some of you say, I belong to Paul. Others say, I belong to Apollos. And others say, I belong to Cephas.And yet others say, I belong to Christ.
bwe@1Corinthians:1:17 @ Christ did not send me to baptize people, but he sent me to tell the good news. I must not tell it with the clever words of this world. That would not show what the death of Christ on a cross truly means.
bwe@1Corinthians:1:20 @ Where are your wise people, the men who know books, the men who like to talk about the things of this world? God has shown that the clever things of this world are nothing.
bwe@1Corinthians:1:23 @ But we tell people about Christ who died on a cross. The leaders of the Jews do not like this, and those who are not Jews laugh at it.
bwe@1Corinthians:1:24 @ But some have been called by God. They are chosen, both Jews and other people. Christ is Gods power to save them. This shows how wise he is.
bwe@1Corinthians:1:28 @ And God chose the small things, things that people despise. Yes, he chose even the things which seem to be nothing. He did this to destroy the big things.
bwe@1Corinthians:1:29 @ He did this so that people would not be proud before God.
bwe@1Corinthians:2:2 @ I made up my mind that I would talk about only one thing while I was with you. That one thing was Jesus Christ and his death on a cross.
bwe@1Corinthians:2:5 @ I did this so that you would not believe because of mans wise words, but you would believe because of Gods power.
bwe@1Corinthians:2:6 @ However, our words are wise words to those who really believe. But they are not the kind of wise words that the people of this world speak. They are not the kind of wise words that the rulers of this world speak. Those rulers will die.
bwe@1Corinthians:2:8 @ None of the rulers of this world knew about these things. If they had, they would not have killed on a cross the Lord who was full of Gods glory.
bwe@1Corinthians:2:10 @ God has shown these things to us by his Spirit. The Spirit understands everything, even the things that God has kept secret.
bwe@1Corinthians:2:12 @ We have not received the spirit of the world. But we have received the Spirit of God. In this way we may understand the blessings which God has freely given to us.
bwe@1Corinthians:3:1 @ My brothers, I could not talk to you at first as to people who have the Spirit of God. But I talked to you as people who have the spirit of this world. I talked to you as people who are very new-born, baby Christians.
bwe@1Corinthians:3:3 @ You still have the spirit of this world in you. You are jealous of each other and you are quarrelling. The spirit of this world is still in you and you live like people of this world.
bwe@1Corinthians:3:4 @ One says, I belong to Paul. Another says, I belong to Apollos. Does not that show that you have the spirit of this world?
bwe@1Corinthians:3:8 @ The man who plants and the man who waters are equal. Each one will be paid for his own work.
bwe@1Corinthians:3:10 @ I built the lower walls of the house because God showed me the best way to do it. Now another man builds on top of this foundation. Each man must take care how he builds on it.
bwe@1Corinthians:3:14 @ If the work a man did is not burned up in the fire, he will be paid for his work.
bwe@1Corinthians:3:17 @ God will punish anyone who spoils his house. His house is holy, and you are the house.
bwe@1Corinthians:3:18 @ Do not be fooled. If any one of you thinks that he is wise in the things of this world, he should count himself as not being wise. Then he would really be wise.
bwe@1Corinthians:3:19 @ The things that look wise to the people of this world look foolish to God. The holy writings say, He catches the wise people in their own tricks.
bwe@1Corinthians:4:2 @ A man who takes care of things must be a person his master can trust.
bwe@1Corinthians:4:5 @ So do not judge me before it is time. Wait until the Lord comes. The things which have been kept hidden in the dark he will bring out into the light. He will show what is in peoples hearts. At that time God will tell each man how good his work is.
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:5:1 @ I have heard a very bad report about you. I hear there are wrong sexual ways among you. Even the people who are not Jews do not allow wrong sex such as this among them. A man is living with his fathers wife!
bwe@1Corinthians:5:2 @ Can it be that you are still proud? This should make you very sad. The man who has done this should be put out of the church meeting.
bwe@1Corinthians:5:3 @ My body is not with you, but my spirit is. Just as if I were right there, I have decided what to do about the man who did such a thing as this.
bwe@1Corinthians:5:4 @ Do this in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. When you meet together my spirit will be with you. Then, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, give this man over to Satan. Let Satan punish his body. By this the mans spirit may yet be saved when the Lord Jesus comes.
bwe@1Corinthians:6:3 @ Do you not know that we shall judge angels? Then we should surely be able to judge things in this life!
bwe@1Corinthians:6:4 @ So if you have complaints about things in this life, why do you take them to those who are not church people?
bwe@1Corinthians:6:14 @ God raised up the Lord and he will also raise us up by his power.
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:7:2 @ But wrong sex is always a danger to us. So it is better for each man to have his own wife and each woman to have her own husband.
bwe@1Corinthians:7:3 @ The husband should give his wife what is right. So also, the wife should give her husband what is right.
bwe@1Corinthians:7:4 @ The wife does not have full right over her own body. But her husband has a right to it. In the same way, the husband does not have full right over his own body. But his wife has a right to it.
bwe@1Corinthians:7:6 @ I say you may do this. I do not say that you must do it.
bwe@1Corinthians:7:11 @ But if she does leave him, she must not marry again, or she must come back to her husband again. And the husband may not send away his wife.
bwe@1Corinthians:7:12 @ Here is what I say to other people. (This is my word, not the Lords.) Perhaps a Christian brother has a wife who is not a Christian. If she wants to stay with him, then he should not send her away.
bwe@1Corinthians:7:14 @ The husband who is not a Christian is made holy by the wife. And the wife who is not a Christian is made holy by the husband. If this were not so, then your children would not be holy. But they are holy.
bwe@1Corinthians:7:17 @ Only let me say this. Every man should go on living in the way which the Lord chooses for him. He should go on as he was when God called him to be a Christian. I say this to people in all the churches.
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:7:28 @ But, if you marry, it is not wrong. And if a woman marries, it is not wrong. People who marry will have trouble in this life. And I want to keep you out of it.
bwe@1Corinthians:7:31 @ And people who are busy with things in this world should not be too busy. The world as we see it is passing away.
bwe@1Corinthians:7:33 @ But the man who is married thinks about the things of this world. He tries to please his wife.
bwe@1Corinthians:7:34 @ In the same way, there is a difference between the woman who is married and the one who is not. The woman who is not married thinks about the things of the Lord. She wants her body and her spirit to be holy. But the married woman thinks about the things of this life. She tries to please her husband.
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:7:37 @ But the man who has made up his mind not to marry his woman will do well. That is, if he does not have to marry her, and is able to control himself, and if he is sure about it in his own mind.
bwe@1Corinthians:7:38 @ So the man who marries his woman will do what is good. But the man who does not marry her will do better.
bwe@1Corinthians:7:39 @ A wife may not leave her husband as long as he is living. But if he dies, she is free to marry any man she wants. Only this, he must be a Christian.
bwe@1Corinthians:7:40 @ But I think that she is happier if she stays as she is and does not marry again. (I think too that I am saying what the Spirit of God wants me to say in this matter.)
bwe@1Corinthians:8:1 @ Now here is what I say about food given to idols. We all know something about this matter. Yet knowledge makes us proud. Love is the real teacher.
bwe@1Corinthians:8:4 @ So here is what I say about eating food that has been given to idols or false gods. We know that an idol really is nothing in this world. There is only one true and living God.
bwe@1Corinthians:8:10 @ You know it is not wrong for you to eat these things. But if a weak Christian sees you eating in the idols house, he will also want to eat food that has been given to an idol. He will do what is against his own belief.
bwe@1Corinthians:8:12 @ In this way you do wrong to your brother. You hurt him because he is weak. And in so doing you do wrong to Christ.
bwe@1Corinthians:9:7 @ What soldier pays for his own food when he goes to war? Who plants a garden and does not eat what grows in it? Who takes care of animals and does not get any of the milk?
bwe@1Corinthians:9:9 @ Moses wrote in his books of the law of God, Do not tie shut the mouth of an ox when it is treading the grain. Does God care about the oxen?
bwe@1Corinthians:9:10 @ Does he not say this altogether for our sakes? Yes, he said it for our sakes. There are people who plough the ground and beat the grain. They do this work because they believe they will have a part of the food for themselves.
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:9:19 @ Even though I am no ones slave, yet I have made myself a slave to everyone. I have done this so that I might win more people to Christ.
bwe@1Corinthians:9:20 @ When I was with the Jews, I lived like the Jews, so that I might win the Jews to Christ. I was not under the law. But I lived as if I was under the law of the Jews. I did this so that I might win to Christ those who are under the law.
bwe@1Corinthians:9:21 @ When I was with those who do not have the law of the Jews, I lived as if I did not have the law of the Jews. I did this so that I might win them also. Of course, I myself have laws. I follow the laws of Christ.
bwe@1Corinthians:9:22 @ When I was with weak people, I lived like a weak person. I did this so that I might win weak people to Christ. I lived like all kinds of people to save some of them.
bwe@1Corinthians:9:23 @ I do all this for the good news, so that I also will have some of its blessing.
bwe@1Corinthians:9:25 @ Everyone who wants to show his strength must control himself in every way. They do it for a prize that will spoil. But what we do, we do for a reward that will never, never spoil.
bwe@1Corinthians:10:6 @ This teaches us not to want wrong things as they did.
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:10:19 @ What do I mean by saying this? Is the food that has been given to idols really something holy? Or is an idol really something like God?
bwe@1Corinthians:10:20 @ No. What I mean is this. Those people give the food to bad spirits and not to God. I do not want you to have anything to do with bad spirits.
bwe@1Corinthians:10:28 @ But if anyone says to you, This food has been given to an idol, then do not eat it. Do not eat it because of the one who told you and because it might seem wrong. I mean it might seem wrong, not to you, but to him.
bwe@1Corinthians:11:3 @ But I want you to know this. Christ is the head of every man. The husband is the head of the wife. And God is the head of Christ.
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:11:7 @ A man does not need to cover his head because he was made like God is. Man is Gods glory. Woman is mans glory.
bwe@1Corinthians:11:10 @ She should show this by having her head covered, because of the angels.
bwe@1Corinthians:11:14 @ It would be a shame for a man to have long hair. Everyone knows this.
bwe@1Corinthians:11:16 @ Does anyone still want to quarrel about this matter? This is what we do. And this is what the churches of God do also.
bwe@1Corinthians:11:18 @ First, I hear that in the church meeting you divide yourselves into groups. I think this may be true.
bwe@1Corinthians:11:22 @ Do you not have your own homes where you can eat and drink? Do you have no respect for the church of God? Do you want to make poor people ashamed? What shall I say to you? Shall I say you are doing well? No, you are not doing well in this matter!
bwe@1Corinthians:11:23 @ The Lord gave me what I taught you. This is what it was. On the night when the Lord Jesus was sold to his enemies, he took bread.
bwe@1Corinthians:11:24 @ He thanked God for it. Then he broke it and said, Take this bread and eat it. This is my body which is broken for you. Do this so that you will remember me.
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:11:28 @ 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:12:3 @ Therefore, I want you to understand this. No person who has the Spirit of God ever curses Jesus. And no one can say, Jesus is Lord, if he is not controlled by the Holy Spirit.
bwe@1Corinthians:12:24 @ He did this so that the body would not be divided into groups, but all the parts would help each other. 26)If one part has trouble, then all the other parts are troubled too. If one part is praised, then all the other parts are glad with it.
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:14:19 @ But in the church meeting it is better for me to say five words with my mind, so that I will teach other people also. This is better than to say ten thousand words in a tongue of a different language.
bwe@1Corinthians:14:21 @ The holy writings say, I will talk to these people by strangers and by people who talk in strange tongues. And yet, they will not listen to me. This is what the Lord says.
bwe@1Corinthians:14:25 @ Such a person sees everything that has been hidden in his heart. Then he will kneel down and worship God. He will say, It is true. God is here among you.
bwe@1Corinthians:14:33 @ God does not want things to be out of order. He wants peace in the church meeting. In all the churches of Gods people, the women should be quiet in the church meetings. They must not be allowed to talk. They must obey. The holy writings say this also.
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:14:38 @ If anyone does not know this, then God will not know him.
bwe@1Corinthians:15:11 @ So it does not matter who gave the message, they or I. This is the message we gave, and this is the message you believed.
bwe@1Corinthians:15:15 @ If this were so, we would have been telling lies about God, because we said that God raised up Christ. He did not raise up Christ if dead people are not raised up.
bwe@1Corinthians:15:19 @ And if we have hope in Christ for our life in this world only, then we are the most unhappy of all people.
bwe@1Corinthians:15:23 @ But each one has his turn. Christ rose first. Then those who belong to Christ will rise when he comes again.
bwe@1Corinthians:15:25 @ Christ must rule until God has all power over all his enemies.
bwe@1Corinthians:15:32 @ I fought against wild animals at Ephesus. If I was thinking only of life on earth, why did I do this? If dead people do not rise, then we might just as well say, Let us eat and drink because we will die tomorrow.
bwe@1Corinthians:15:44 @ When it is put in the ground it is only a body for this world. When it rises it is a body for the spirit. If there is a body for this world, then there is also a body for the spirit.
bwe@1Corinthians:15:45 @ The holy writings say, The first man, Adam, was of this world! The last Adam <FI>Christ<Fi> is a Spirit who gives life.
bwe@1Corinthians:15:46 @ The body for the spirit does not come first. The body for this world comes first. Then comes the body for the spirit.
bwe@1Corinthians:15:51 @ Listen! I tell you a secret. We will not all die, but we will all be changed. It will happen very quickly, as fast as one can shut his eyes. It will be when the trumpet or horn is blown the last time. Someone will blow the trumpet, dead people will rise, and they will never die again. We ourselves will be changed.
bwe@1Corinthians:15:52 @ This body which dies must become a body which will never die.
bwe@1Corinthians:15:53 @ When this body which dies becomes one which will never die, what the holy writings say comes true. It says, Death is overcome by victory.
bwe@1Corinthians:16:10 @ If Timothy comes to you, be good to him, so that his heart will not be troubled while he is with you. He is working for the Lord, just as I am.
bwe@1Corinthians:16:15 @ You know that Stephanas and his family were the first people in the country of Greece to believe the good news. They have made up their minds to help Gods people always.
bwe@1Corinthians:16:21 @ And I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand.
bwe@2Corinthians:1:3 @ He helps us every time we have trouble. Then we are able to be strong and help other people every time they have trouble. We can do this with the same comfort that God gives us.
bwe@2Corinthians:1:5 @ When we have trouble, it is for your sake so that you will be helped and saved. When we are comforted, this helps you. Then you will stand strong when you have the same troubles we have.
bwe@2Corinthians:1:6 @ Our hope for you is strong. If you have the same trouble we have had, then you will also have the same comfort and help we have. This we know.
bwe@2Corinthians:1:8 @ Yes, we really felt our time had come to die. This was to make us trust, not in ourselves, but in God. He brings people back to life.
bwe@2Corinthians:1:13 @ Because I was sure of this, I wanted to visit you before. Then you would have had a double blessing.
bwe@2Corinthians:1:15 @ That was what I wanted to do. Now then, did I act as if I did not know what I wanted? When I make my plans, do you think I make them like a man of this world? Do I say Yes when I mean to say No?
bwe@2Corinthians:1:17 @ Silvanus and Timothy and I told you about the Son of God, Jesus Christ. His word was not Yes and No. It was always Yes.
bwe@2Corinthians:1:19 @ It is God who makes us stand strong with you in Christ. God has chosen us and put his mark on us.
bwe@2Corinthians:1:20 @ He has put his Spirit in our hearts. This is the first part of what we are to receive, and it proves that we will receive all God has promised.
bwe@2Corinthians:2:10 @ I have done this so that Satan will not get ahead of us. We know his tricks. of Troas to tell the good news of Christ, the door was open for me to work for the Lord.
bwe@2Corinthians:2:11 @ But my mind was troubled because I did not find my brother Titus there. So I said goodbye to the people there and went on to the country of Macedonia. Christ. And Christ leads us to victory every time. To know Christ is like a sweet smell. And God lets us carry that sweet smell of his truth everywhere.
bwe@2Corinthians:2:12 @ We are like a sweet smell to God. It is the smell of Christ we have. We have this sweet smell among the people who are saved and among those who are lost.
bwe@2Corinthians:3:2 @ You yourselves are our letter. This letter has been written in our hearts. All people can read it and understand it.
bwe@2Corinthians:3:4 @ We can say this because we trust in God. And we trust in God because of Christ.
bwe@2Corinthians:3:7 @ The old law that brought death was written on pieces of rock. There was a very bright light when God gave it to the people. The people of Israel could not look at Moses because his face was so bright. And even as they saw it, the light on his face was going away.
bwe@2Corinthians:3:12 @ Because we believe this, we do not fear.
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:3:18 @ All of us have no cloth over our faces. People can see that we have some of the bright and wonderful light that the Lord has. And we are becoming brighter and brighter, more and more like him. It is the Lord, the Spirit, who does this.
bwe@2Corinthians:4:1 @ God in his kindness gave us this work. So we do not give up.
bwe@2Corinthians:4:4 @ The god of this world has covered their minds so they cannot see. They cannot see with their minds the light of the good news of Christ. They cannot see how bright and wonderful Christ is. He is just like God himself.
bwe@2Corinthians:4:6 @ God said, Let light shine in the darkness. And he has let light shine in our hearts too. He gave us light that shows how bright and wonderful God is. We see this light when we look at the face of Christ.
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:4:14 @ We know this. God raised up the Lord Jesus, and he will raise us up also with Jesus. He will bring us all to stand together before God.
bwe@2Corinthians:4:15 @ All this is happening for you so that the blessings of God will reach more people. Then more people will thank God. And this will make Gods name greater. gets weak, but our heart gets new strength day after day.
bwe@2Corinthians:4:16 @ The load of trouble we carry now is a little heavy. But this trouble is getting something great and wonderful ready for us which will last for ever.
bwe@2Corinthians:5:4 @ While we are in this house, we cry and are troubled. It is not that we want to move out of this house, but we want to move into the other one. Then this body which will die will be changed into one which will live.
bwe@2Corinthians:5:5 @ God is the one who has made us ready for this change. He has already given us the Spirit. This is the first part of what we are to receive, and it proves that we will get more.
bwe@2Corinthians:5:8 @ We feel sure that we will want to leave this body and go to live with the Lord.
bwe@2Corinthians:5:11 @ No, we are not praising ourselves again. But we are telling you this so that you may really be proud of us. Then you will be ready to answer people who are proud of themselves. They are proud of the things which can be seen.But in their hearts they have nothing to be proud of.
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:5:16 @ So, if any man belongs to Christ, he is a new person. His old life has gone. You see, he has begun a new life.
bwe@2Corinthians:5:17 @ But it is God who has done all this. He sent Christ to make peace with us and to bring us back to himself. Now he has given us the work of bringing other people back to God.
bwe@2Corinthians:6:13 @ I say this as to my own children. You should love us with all your hearts. with those who do not believe. You and they are not equal. How can people who do right, work with those who do not obey God? How can light and darkness be in the same place?
bwe@2Corinthians:7:2 @ I do not say this to bring something against you. I have already told you that we love you very much. If we live or if we die, we will be together with you.
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:7:12 @ And so we have been comforted. Besides this, we were even more happy to see how happy Titus was. All of you really made his heart glad.
bwe@2Corinthians:8:7 @ We remember how well you do in everything. You do well in believing, in talking, in knowing things, in trying your best, and in the way you love us. So now, do well in giving this gift.
bwe@2Corinthians:8:17 @ We are sending another brother with him. This brother has a good name in all the churches because he tells the good news.
bwe@2Corinthians:8:18 @ Not only that, but the churches have chosen him to travel with us as we take care of this gift. We are doing this so that the Lord will be praised. We want to help others.
bwe@2Corinthians:8:19 @ We do not want anyone to say that we have not done the right thing. So we are taking care of this big gift in the right way. 21We want to do what the Lord says is right, but also what people say is right.
bwe@2Corinthians:8:21 @ I want to say this. Titus is my close friend and he works with me. And about our other brothers, they have been sent by the churches. They bring praise to Christ.
bwe@2Corinthians:9:3 @ But I am sending these brothers so that what we have said about you will be true in this way. I want you to be really ready with the gift, just as I said you would be.
bwe@2Corinthians:9:5 @ So I thought it would be good to send these brothers to you first. They will get this gift ready which you promised. Then it will be ready like a gift, and not as if you were forced to give it.
bwe@2Corinthians:9:7 @ Everyone should give what he wants in his heart to give. He should be glad to give it, and should not give it because he was forced to give. God loves a person who gives gladly.
bwe@2Corinthians:9:12 @ This gift of money will help to give Gods people what they need. It will also make many people thank God.
bwe@2Corinthians:9:13 @ This gift will prove something to them. They will praise God because you obey the good news of Christ. They will praise God because you have given this gift to help them and all the others.
