isv@Romans:1:13 @ I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, that I often planned to come to you (but have been prevented from doing so until now), so that I might reap a harvest among you, just as I have among the rest of the Gentiles.

isv@Romans:1:16 @ For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is God's power for the salvation of everyone who believes, of the Jew first and of the Greek as well.

isv@Romans:1:24 @ For this reason, God gave them over to impurity to follow the lusts of their hearts and to dishonor their bodies with one another.

isv@Romans:1:27 @ In the same way, their males also abandoned the natural sexual function of females and burned with lust for one another. Males committed indecent acts with males, and received in themselves the appropriate penalty for their perversion.

isv@Romans:1:28 @ Furthermore, because they did not think it worthwhile to retain the full knowledge of God, God gave them over to degraded minds to perform acts that should not be done.

isv@Romans:1:32 @ Although they know God's just requirement—that those who practice such things deserve to die—they not only do these things but even applaud others who practice them.

isv@Romans:2:1 @ Therefore, you have no excuse—every one of you who judges. For when you pass judgment on another person, you condemn yourself, since you, the judge, practice the very same things.

isv@Romans:2:4 @ Or do you think so little of the riches of his kindness, forbearance, and patience, not realizing that it is God's kindness that is leading you to repentance?

isv@Romans:2:11 @ For God does not show partiality.

isv@Romans:2:13 @ For it is not merely those who hear the law who are righteous in God's sight. No, it is those who do the law, who will be justified.

isv@Romans:2:14 @ For whenever Gentiles, who do not possess the law, do instinctively what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law.

isv@Romans:2:28 @ For a person is not a Jew because of his appearance, nor is circumcision something external and physical.

isv@Romans:2:29 @ No, a person is a Jew inwardly, and circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit, not by a written law. That person's praise will come from God, not from people.

isv@Romans:3:3 @ What if some of them were unfaithful? Their unfaithfulness cannot cancel God's faithfulness, can it?

isv@Romans:3:4 @ Of course not! God is true, even if everyone else is a liar. As it is written, “You are right when you speak,and win your case when you go into court.”

isv@Romans:3:5 @ But if our unrighteousness serves to confirm God's righteousness, what can we say? God is not unrighteous when he vents his wrath on us, is he? (I am talking in human terms.)

isv@Romans:3:6 @ Of course not! Otherwise, how could God judge the world?

isv@Romans:3:9 @ What, then, does this mean? Are we Jews any better off? Not at all! For we have already accused everyone, both Jews and Greeks, of being under the power of sin.

isv@Romans:3:10 @ As it is written, “Not even one person is righteous.

isv@Romans:3:12 @ All have turned away.Together they have become worthless.No one shows kindness, not even one person!

isv@Romans:3:17 @ They have not learned the path to peace.

isv@Romans:3:29 @ Is God the God of the Jews only? Is he not the God of the Gentiles, too? Yes, of the Gentiles, too,

isv@Romans:3:31 @ Do we, then, abolish the law by this faith? Of course not! Instead, we uphold the law.

isv@Romans:4:2 @ For if Abraham was justified by works, he would have had something to boast about—though not before God.

isv@Romans:4:4 @ Now to someone who works, wages are not considered a gift but an obligation.

isv@Romans:4:5 @ However, to someone who does not work, but simply believes in the one who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness.

isv@Romans:4:10 @ Under what circumstances was it credited? Was he circumcised or uncircumcised? He had not been circumcised, but was uncircumcised.

isv@Romans:4:12 @ He is also the ancestor of the circumcised—those who are not only circumcised, but who also walk in the footsteps of the faith that our father Abraham had before he was circumcised.

isv@Romans:4:13 @ For the promise that he would inherit the world did not come to Abraham or to his descendants through the law, but through the righteousness produced by faith.

isv@Romans:4:16 @ Therefore, the promise is based on faith, so that it may be a matter of grace and may be guaranteed for all his descendants—not only for those who were given the law, but also for those who share Abraham's faith, who is the father of us all.

isv@Romans:4:19 @ He did not weaken in faith when he thought about his own body (which was already as good as dead now that he was about a hundred years old) or about Sarah's inability to have children,

isv@Romans:4:23 @ Now the words “it was credited to him” were written not only for him

isv@Romans:5:3 @ Not only that, but we also boast in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance,

isv@Romans:5:5 @ Now this hope does not disappoint us, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.

isv@Romans:5:11 @ Not only that, but we also continue to boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received our reconciliation.

isv@Romans:5:14 @ Nevertheless, death ruled from the time of Adam to Moses, even over those who did not sin in the same way Adam did when he disobeyed. He is a type of the one who would come.

isv@Romans:5:15 @ But God's free gift is not like Adam's offense. For if many people died as the result of one man's offense, how much more have God's grace and the free gift given through the kindness of one man, Jesus Christ, been showered on many people!

isv@Romans:6:2 @ Of course not! How can we who died as far as sin is concerned go on living in it?

isv@Romans:6:12 @ Therefore, do not let sin rule your mortal bodies so that you obey their desires.

isv@Romans:6:14 @ For sin will not have mastery over you, because you are not under law but under grace.

isv@Romans:6:15 @ What, then, does this mean? Should we go on sinning because we are not under law but under grace? Of course not!

isv@Romans:7:3 @ So while her husband is living, she will be called an adulterer even if she lives with another man. But if her husband dies, she is free from this law, so that she is not an adulterer if she marries another man.

isv@Romans:7:4 @ In the same way, my brothers, through Christ's body you also died as far as the law is concerned, so that you may belong to another person, the one who was raised from the dead, and may bear fruit for God.

isv@Romans:7:6 @ But now we have been released from the law by dying to what enslaved us, so that we may serve in the new life of the Spirit, not under the old written code.

isv@Romans:7:7 @ What should we say, then? Is the law sinful? Of course not! In fact, I wouldn't have known sin if it had not been for the law. For I wouldn't have known what it means to covet if the law had not said, “You must not covet.”

isv@Romans:7:13 @ Now, did something good bring me death? Of course not! But in order that sin might be recognized as sin, it used something good to cause my death, so that through the commandment sin might become more sinful than ever.

isv@Romans:7:18 @ For I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my flesh. For I have the desire to do what is right, but I cannot carry it out.

isv@Romans:8:4 @ so that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

isv@Romans:8:8 @ Indeed, those who are under the control of the flesh cannot please God.

isv@Romans:8:9 @ You, however, are not of the flesh but under the control of the Spirit, since God's Spirit lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to him.

isv@Romans:8:12 @ Consequently, brothers, we have an obligation—but it is not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.

isv@Romans:8:15 @ For you have not received a spirit of slavery that leads you into fear again. Instead, you have received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba! Father!”

isv@Romans:8:18 @ For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed to us.

isv@Romans:8:20 @ because the creation was subjected to frustration, though not by its own choice. The one who subjected it did so in the hope

isv@Romans:8:23 @ However, not only creation groans, but we who have the first fruits of the Spirit also groan inwardly as we eagerly wait for our adoption, the redemption of our bodies.

isv@Romans:8:24 @ For we were saved with this hope in mind. Now hope that is seen is not really hope, for who hopes for what can be seen?

isv@Romans:8:25 @ But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with patience.

isv@Romans:8:26 @ In the same way, the Spirit also helps us in our weakness, for we do not know how to pray as we should. But the Spirit himself intercedes with groans too deep for words,

isv@Romans:8:32 @ The one who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for all of us—surely he will give us all things along with him, won't he?

isv@Romans:9:1 @ I am telling the truth in union with Christ—I am not lying, for my conscience, confirms it in the Holy Spirit.

isv@Romans:9:6 @ Now it is not as though the word of God has failed. For not all Israelites truly belong to Israel,

isv@Romans:9:7 @ and not all of Abraham's descendants are his true descendants. On the contrary, “It is through Isaac that descendants will be named for you.”

isv@Romans:9:8 @ That is, it is not the children of natural descent who are God's children, but it is the children of the promise who are regarded as descendants.

isv@Romans:9:10 @ Not only that, but Rebecca became pregnant by our ancestor Isaac.

isv@Romans:9:12 @ according to his calling and not by works), Rebecca was told, “The older child will serve the younger one.”

isv@Romans:9:14 @ What can we say, then? God is not unrighteous, is he? Of course not!

isv@Romans:9:16 @ Therefore, God's choice does not depend on a person's will or effort, but on God himself, who shows mercy.

isv@Romans:9:24 @ including us, whom he also called, not only from the Jews but from the Gentiles as well?

isv@Romans:9:25 @ As he says in Hosea, “Those who are not my peopleI will call my people, and the one who was not lovedI will call my loved one.

isv@Romans:9:26 @ In the very place where it was said to them,‘You are not my people,’they will be called children of the living God.”

isv@Romans:9:29 @ It is just as Isaiah predicted: “If the Lord of the Heavenly Armieshad not left us some descendants,we would have become like Sodomand would have been compared to Gomorrah.”

isv@Romans:9:30 @ What can we say, then? Gentiles, who were not pursuing righteousness, have attained righteousness, a righteousness that comes through faith.

isv@Romans:9:31 @ But Israel, who did pursue the righteousness that is based on the law, did not arrive at that law.

isv@Romans:9:32 @ Why not? Because they did not pursue it on the basis of faith, but as if it were based on works. They stumbled over the stone that causes people to stumble.

isv@Romans:10:2 @ For I can testify on their behalf that they have a zeal for God, but it is not in keeping with full knowledge.

isv@Romans:10:3 @ For they are ignorant of the righteousness that comes from God while they try to establish their own, and they have not submitted to God's righteousness.

isv@Romans:10:6 @ But the righteousness that comes from faith says, “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will go up to heaven?’ (that is, to bring Christ down),

isv@Romans:10:11 @ For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be ashamed.”

isv@Romans:10:14 @ How, then, can people call on someone they have not believed? And how can they believe in someone they have not heard about? And how can they hear without someone preaching?

isv@Romans:10:16 @ But not everyone has obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah asks, “Lord, who has believed our message?”

isv@Romans:10:19 @ Again I ask, “Did Israel not understand?” Moses was the first to say, “I will make you jealousby those who are not a nation; I will make you angryby a nation that doesn't understand.”

isv@Romans:10:20 @ And Isaiah boldly says, “I was found by those who were not looking for me;I was revealed to those who were not asking for me.”

isv@Romans:11:1 @ So I ask, “God has not rejected his people, has he?” Of course not! I am an Israelite myself, a descendant of Abraham from the tribe of Benjamin.

isv@Romans:11:2 @ God has not rejected his people whom he chose long ago. Don't you know what the Scripture says in the story about Elijah, when he pleads with God against Israel?

isv@Romans:11:4 @ But what was the divine reply to him? “I have reserved for myself 7,000 people who have not knelt to worship Baal.”

isv@Romans:11:8 @ As it is written, “To this day God has given them a spirit of deep sleep.Their eyes do not see, and their ears do not hear.”

isv@Romans:11:10 @ Let their eyes be darkened so that they cannot see,and keep their backs forever bent.”

isv@Romans:11:11 @ And so I ask, “They have not stumbled so as to fall, have they?” Of course not! On the contrary, because of their stumbling, salvation has come to the Gentiles to make the Jews jealous.

isv@Romans:11:18 @ do not boast about being better than the other branches. If you boast, remember that you do not support the root, but the root supports you.

isv@Romans:11:20 @ That's right! They were broken off because of their unbelief, but you remain only because of faith. Do not be arrogant, but be afraid!

isv@Romans:11:21 @ For if God did not spare the natural branches, he certainly will not spare you either.

isv@Romans:11:23 @ If the Jews do not persist in their unbelief, they will be grafted in again, because God is able to graft them in.

isv@Romans:11:25 @ For I do not want you to be ignorant of this secret, brothers, so that you will not claim to be wiser than you are. A partial hardening has come on Israel until the full number of the Gentiles has come in.

isv@Romans:12:2 @ Do not be conformed to this world, but continually be transformed by the renewing of your minds so that you may be able to determine what God's will is—what is proper, pleasing, and perfect.

isv@Romans:12:3 @ For by the grace given to me I ask every one of you not to think of yourself more highly than you should think, rather to think of yourself with sober judgment on the measure of faith that God has assigned each of you.

isv@Romans:12:4 @ For we have many parts in one body, but these parts do not all have the same function.

isv@Romans:12:16 @ Live in harmony with each other. Do not be arrogant, but associate with humble people. Do not think that you are wiser than you really are.

isv@Romans:12:17 @ Do not pay anyone back evil for evil, but focus your thoughts on what is right in the sight of all people.

isv@Romans:12:19 @ Do not take revenge, dear fiends, but leave room for God's wrath. For it is written, “Vengeance belongs to me. I will pay them back, declares the Lord.”

isv@Romans:12:21 @ Do not be conquered by evil, but conquer evil with good.

isv@Romans:13:3 @ For the authorities are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you like to live without being afraid of the authorities? Then do what is right, and you will receive their approval.

isv@Romans:13:4 @ For they are God's servants working for your good. But if you do what is wrong, you should be afraid, for it is not without reason that they bear the sword. Indeed, they are God's servants to execute wrath on anyone who does wrong.

isv@Romans:13:5 @ Therefore, it is necessary for you to be subject, not only because of God's wrath but also because of your own conscience.

isv@Romans:13:8 @ Do not owe anyone anything—except to love one another. For the one who loves another has fulfilled the law.

isv@Romans:13:9 @ For the commandments, “You must not commit adultery; you must not murder; you must not steal; you must not covet,” and every other commandment are summed up in this statement: “You must love your neighbor as yourself.”

isv@Romans:13:14 @ Instead, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not obey your flesh and its desires.

isv@Romans:14:1 @ Accept the person who is weak in faith, but not for the purpose of arguing over differences of opinion.

isv@Romans:14:3 @ The person who eats must not despise the person who does not eat, and the person who does not eat must not criticize the person who eats, for God has accepted him.

isv@Romans:14:5 @ One person decides that one day is better than another, while another person decides that all days are the same. Each one must be fully convinced in his own mind.

isv@Romans:14:6 @ The one who observes a special day, observes it to honor the Lord. The one who eats, eats to honor the Lord, since he gives thanks to God. And the one who does not eat, refrains from eating to honor the Lord; yet he, too, gives thanks to God.

isv@Romans:14:13 @ Therefore, let us no longer criticize each other. Instead, make up your mind not to put a stumbling block or hindrance in the way of a brother.

isv@Romans:14:14 @ I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in and of itself. But it is unclean to a person who thinks it is unclean.

isv@Romans:14:15 @ For if your brother is being hurt by what you eat, you are no longer acting in love. Do not destroy the person for whom Christ died by what you eat.

isv@Romans:14:16 @ Do not allow your good to be spoken of as evil.

isv@Romans:14:17 @ For God's kingdom does not consist of food and drink, but of righteousness, peace, and joy produced by the Holy Spirit.

isv@Romans:14:19 @ Therefore, let us keep on pursuing those things that bring peace and that lead to building one another up.

isv@Romans:14:20 @ Do not destroy God's work for the sake of food. Everything is clean, but it is wrong to make another person fall because of what you eat.

isv@Romans:14:23 @ But the person who has doubts is condemned if he eats, because he does not act in faith; and anything that is not done in faith is sin.

isv@Romans:15:1 @ Now we who are strong ought to be patient with the weaknesses of those who are not strong and must stop pleasing ourselves.

isv@Romans:15:3 @ For even Christ did not please himself. Instead, as it is written, “The insults of those who insult you have fallen on me.”

isv@Romans:15:7 @ Therefore, accept one another, just as Christ accepted you, for the glory of God.

isv@Romans:15:20 @ My one ambition is to proclaim the gospel where the name of Christ is not known, lest I build on someone else's foundation.

isv@Romans:16:16 @ Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the churches of Christ greet you.

isv@Romans:16:18 @ For such people are not serving Christ our Lord but their own desires. By their smooth talk and flattering words they deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting.

isv@1Corinthians:1:10 @ Brothers, I urge all of you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to be in agreement and not to have divisions among you, so that you may be perfectly united in your understanding and opinions.

isv@1Corinthians:1:14 @ I thank God that I did not baptize any of you except Chrispus and Gaius,

isv@1Corinthians:1:16 @ (Yes, I also baptized the family of Stephanus. Beyond that, I'm not sure whether I baptized anyone else.)

isv@1Corinthians:1:17 @ For Christ did not send me to baptize but to preach the gospel, not with eloquent wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.

isv@1Corinthians:1:21 @ For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know God, God decided through the nonsense of our preaching to save those who believe.

isv@1Corinthians:1:26 @ Brothers, think about your own calling. Not many of you were wise by human standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth.

isv@1Corinthians:1:28 @ And God chose what is insignificant in the world, what is despised, what is nothing, in order to destroy what is something,

isv@1Corinthians:2:2 @ For while I was with you I resolved to know nothing except Jesus Christ and him crucified.

isv@1Corinthians:2:4 @ My message and my preaching were not accompanied by clever words of wisdom, but by a display of the Spirit's power,

isv@1Corinthians:2:5 @ so that your faith would not be based on human wisdom but on God's power.

isv@1Corinthians:2:6 @ However, when we are among mature people, we do speak a message of wisdom, but not the wisdom of this world or of the rulers of this world, who are passing off the scene.

isv@1Corinthians:2:8 @ None of the rulers of this world understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of Glory.

isv@1Corinthians:2:12 @ Now, we have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit who comes from God, so that we can understand the things that were freely given to us by God.

isv@1Corinthians:3:2 @ I gave you milk to drink, not solid food, because you weren't ready for it. Why, you're still not ready for it!

isv@1Corinthians:3:4 @ For when one says, “I belong to Paul,” and another, “I belong to Apollos,” you are merely human, aren't you?

isv@1Corinthians:4:4 @ For my conscience is clear, but that does not vindicate me. It is the Lord who examines me.

isv@1Corinthians:4:6 @ Brothers, I have applied all this to Apollos and myself for your benefit, so that you may learn from us not to go beyond what is written. Then you will stop boasting about one person at the expense of another.

isv@1Corinthians:4:7 @ For who makes you superior? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you did receive it, why do you boast as though you did not receive it?

isv@1Corinthians:4:14 @ I'm not writing this to make you feel ashamed, but to warn you as my dear children.

isv@1Corinthians:4:15 @ You may have 10,000 guardians in Christ, but not many fathers. For in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel.

isv@1Corinthians:4:18 @ Some of you have become arrogant, as though I were not coming to you.

isv@1Corinthians:4:19 @ But I will come to you soon if it's the Lord's will. Then I'll discover not only what these arrogant people are saying but also what power they have,

isv@1Corinthians:5:1 @ It is actually reported that sexual immorality exists among you, and of a kind that is not found even among the Gentiles. A man is actually living with his father's wife!

isv@1Corinthians:5:6 @ Your boasting is not good. You know that a little yeast leavens the whole batch of dough, don't you?

isv@1Corinthians:5:8 @ So let us keep celebrating the festival, not with the old yeast or with the yeast of vice and wickedness, but with the bread of purity and truth that has no yeast.

isv@1Corinthians:5:10 @ not at all meaning the people of this world who are immoral, or greedy people, robbers, or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world.

isv@1Corinthians:6:1 @ When one of you has a complaint against another, does he dare to take it before the unrighteous and not before the saints?

isv@1Corinthians:6:3 @ You know that we will rule angels, not to mention things in this life, don't you?

isv@1Corinthians:6:5 @ I say this to make you feel ashamed. Has it come to this, that there is not one person among you who is wise enough to settle disagreements between brothers?

isv@1Corinthians:6:6 @ Instead, one brother goes to court against another brother, and before unbelievers at that!

isv@1Corinthians:6:7 @ The very fact that you have lawsuits among yourselves is already a defeat for you. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be cheated?

isv@1Corinthians:6:9 @ You know that wicked people will not inherit the kingdom of God, don't you? Stop deceiving yourselves! Sexually immoral people, idolaters, adulterers, male prostitutes, homosexuals,

isv@1Corinthians:6:10 @ thieves, greedy people, drunks, slanderers, and robbers will not inherit the kingdom of God.

isv@1Corinthians:6:12 @ Everything is permissible for me, but not everything is helpful. Everything is permissible for me, but I will not allow anything to control me.

isv@1Corinthians:6:13 @ Food is for the stomach, and the stomach is for food, but God will put an end to both of them. The body is not meant for sexual immorality but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.

isv@1Corinthians:6:15 @ You know that your bodies are parts of Christ, don't you? Should I take the parts of Christ and make them parts of a prostitute? Certainly not!

isv@1Corinthians:6:19 @ You know that your body is a sanctuary of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have received from God, don't you? You do not belong to yourselves,

isv@1Corinthians:7:1 @ Now concerning the things you wrote about: It's good for a man not to touch a woman.

isv@1Corinthians:7:4 @ A wife does not have authority over her own body, but her husband does. In the same way, a husband doesn't have authority over his own body, but his wife does.

isv@1Corinthians:7:5 @ Do not withhold yourselves from each other unless you agree to do so for a set time in order to devote yourselves to prayer. Then you should come together again so that Satan does not tempt you through your lack of self-control.

isv@1Corinthians:7:6 @ But I say this as a concession, not as a command.

isv@1Corinthians:7:7 @ I would like everyone to be like me. However, each person has a special gift from God, one this and another that.

isv@1Corinthians:7:9 @ However, if they cannot control themselves, they should get married, for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.

isv@1Corinthians:7:10 @ To married people I give this command (not really I, but the Lord): A wife must not leave her husband.

isv@1Corinthians:7:11 @ But if she does leave him, she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband. Likewise, a husband must not abandon his wife.

isv@1Corinthians:7:12 @ I (not the Lord) say to the rest of you: If a brother has a wife who is an unbeliever and she is willing to live with him, he must not abandon her.

isv@1Corinthians:7:13 @ And if a woman has a husband who is an unbeliever and he is willing to live with her, she must not abandon him.

isv@1Corinthians:7:15 @ But if the unbelieving partner leaves, let him go. In such cases the brother or sister is not bound; God has called you to live in peace.

isv@1Corinthians:7:18 @ Was anyone circumcised when he was called? He should not try to change that. Was anyone uncircumcised when he was called? He should not get circumcised.

isv@1Corinthians:7:19 @ Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but obeying God's commandments is everything.

isv@1Corinthians:7:21 @ Were you a slave when you were called? Do not let that bother you. Of course, if you have a chance to become free, take advantage of the opportunity.

isv@1Corinthians:7:25 @ Now concerning virgins, although I do not have any command from the Lord, I will give you my opinion as one who by the Lord's mercy is trustworthy.

isv@1Corinthians:7:28 @ But if you do get married, you have not sinned. And if a virgin gets married, she has not sinned. However, these people will experience distress in the flesh, and I want to spare you that.

isv@1Corinthians:7:30 @ and those who mourn as though they did not mourn, and those who rejoice as though they were not rejoicing, and those who buy as though they did not own a thing,

isv@1Corinthians:7:31 @ and those who use the things in the world as though they were not dependent on them. For the world in its present form is passing away.

isv@1Corinthians:7:35 @ I'm saying this for your benefit, not to put a noose around your necks, but to promote good order and unhindered devotion to the Lord.

isv@1Corinthians:7:36 @ If a man thinks he is not behaving properly toward his virgin, and if his passion is too strong and he feels he ought to, let him do what he wants; he isn't sinning. Let them get married.

isv@1Corinthians:8:2 @ If anyone thinks he knows something, he has not yet learned it as he ought to know it.

isv@1Corinthians:8:7 @ But not everyone has this knowledge. Some people are so accustomed to idols that they still think they are eating food offered to an idol, and since their conscience is weak, it becomes contaminated.

isv@1Corinthians:8:8 @ However, food will not bring us closer to God. We are no worse off if we do not eat, and no better off if we do.

isv@1Corinthians:8:9 @ But you must see to it that this right of yours does not become a stumbling block to the weak.

isv@1Corinthians:9:1 @ I am free, am I not? I am an apostle, am I not? I have seen Jesus our Lord, haven't I? You are my work in the Lord, aren't you?

isv@1Corinthians:9:2 @ If I am not an apostle to other people, surely I am one to you, for you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord!

isv@1Corinthians:9:7 @ Who would ever go to war at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat any of its grapes? Or who takes care of a flock and does not drink any of its milk?

isv@1Corinthians:9:8 @ I am not saying this on human authority, am I? The law says the same thing, doesn't it?

isv@1Corinthians:9:9 @ For in the law of Moses it is written, “You must not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain.” God is not only concerned about oxen, is he?

isv@1Corinthians:9:12 @ If others enjoy this right over you, don't we have a stronger claim? But we did not use this right. On the contrary, we put up with everything in order not to put an obstacle in the way of the gospel of Christ.

isv@1Corinthians:9:15 @ But I have not used any of these rights, and I'm not writing this so that they may be applied in my case. I would rather die than let anyone deprive me of my reason for boasting.

isv@1Corinthians:9:16 @ For if I preach the gospel, I have nothing to boast about, for this obligation has been laid on me. How terrible it would be for me if I didn't preach the gospel!

isv@1Corinthians:9:20 @ To the Jews I became like a Jew in order to win Jews. To those under the law I became like a man under the law, in order to win those under the law (although I myself am not under the law).

isv@1Corinthians:9:21 @ To those who do not have the law I became like a man who does not have the law, in order to win those who do not have the law (although I am not free from God's law, but am under the law of Christ).

isv@1Corinthians:9:26 @ That is the way I run, with a clear goal in mind. That is the way I box, not like someone punching the air.

isv@1Corinthians:9:27 @ No, I keep on beating my body and making it my slave so that, after I have preached to others, I myself will not somehow be disqualified.

isv@1Corinthians:10:1 @ For I do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, of the fact that all of our ancestors were under the cloud, and they all went through the sea,

isv@1Corinthians:10:12 @ Therefore, the person who thinks he is standing securely should watch out that he does not fall.

isv@1Corinthians:10:13 @ No temptation has overtaken you that is unusual for human beings. But God is faithful, and he will not allow you to be tempted beyond your strength. Instead, along with the temptation he will also provide a way out, so that you may be able to endure it.

isv@1Corinthians:10:20 @ Hardly! What they offer, they offer to demons and not to God, and I do not want you to become partners with demons.

isv@1Corinthians:10:21 @ You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You cannot eat at the table of the Lord and at the table of demons.

isv@1Corinthians:10:22 @ Are we trying to provoke the Lord to jealousy? We are not stronger than he is, are we?

isv@1Corinthians:10:23 @ Everything is permissible, but not everything is helpful. Everything is permissible, but not everything builds up.

isv@1Corinthians:10:29 @ I mean, of course, his conscience, not yours. For why should my freedom be judged by someone else's conscience?

isv@1Corinthians:10:33 @ just as I myself try to please everybody in every way, not looking for my own advantage but for that of many people, so that they might be saved.

isv@1Corinthians:11:6 @ So if a woman does not cover her head, she should cut off her hair. If it is a disgrace for a woman to cut off her hair or shave her head, let her cover her own head.

isv@1Corinthians:11:7 @ A man should not cover his own head, because he exists as God's image and glory. But the woman is man's glory.

isv@1Corinthians:11:8 @ For man did not come from woman, but woman from man;

isv@1Corinthians:11:9 @ and man was not created for woman, but woman for man.

isv@1Corinthians:11:11 @ In the Lord, however, woman is not independent of man, nor is man of woman.

isv@1Corinthians:11:16 @ But if anyone wants to argue about this, we do not have any custom like this, nor do any of God's churches.

isv@1Corinthians:11:17 @ Now I am not praising you in giving you the following instructions. When you gather, it is not for the better but for the worse.

isv@1Corinthians:11:20 @ When you gather in the same place, it is not to eat the Lord's Supper.

isv@1Corinthians:11:21 @ For as you eat, each of you rushes to eat his own supper, and one person goes hungry while another gets drunk.

isv@1Corinthians:11:22 @ You have homes in which to eat and drink, don't you? Or do you despise God's church and humiliate those who have nothing? What should I say to you? Should I praise you? I will not praise you for this!

isv@1Corinthians:11:31 @ But if we judged ourselves correctly, we would not be judged.

isv@1Corinthians:11:34 @ If anyone is hungry, he should eat at home, so that when you gather it may not bring judgment on you. And when I come I will give instructions concerning the other matters.

isv@1Corinthians:12:8 @ To one has been given a message of wisdom by the Spirit; to another the ability to speak with knowledge according to the same Spirit;

isv@1Corinthians:12:9 @ to another faith by the same Spirit; to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit;

isv@1Corinthians:12:10 @ to another miraculous results; to another prophecy; to another the ability to distinguish between spirits; to another various kinds of tongues; and to another the interpretation of tongues.

isv@1Corinthians:12:14 @ For the body does not consist of only one part, but of many.

isv@1Corinthians:12:15 @ If the foot says, “Since I'm not a hand, I'm not part of the body,” that does not make it any less a part of the body, does it?

isv@1Corinthians:12:16 @ And if the ear says, “Since I'm not an eye, I'm not part of the body,” that does not make it any less a part of the body, does it?

isv@1Corinthians:12:21 @ The eye cannot say to the hand, “I don't need you,” or the head to the feet, “I don't need you.”

isv@1Corinthians:12:29 @ Not all are apostles, are they? Not all are prophets, are they? Not all are teachers, are they? Not all perform miracles, do they?

isv@1Corinthians:12:30 @ Not all have the gift of healing, do they? Not all speak in tongues, do they? Not all interpret, do they?

isv@1Corinthians:13:2 @ If I have the gift of prophecy and can understand all secrets and every form of knowledge, and if I have absolute faith so as to move mountains but have no love, I am nothing.

isv@1Corinthians:13:3 @ Even if I give away all that I have and surrender my body so that I may boast but have no love, I get nothing out of it.

isv@1Corinthians:14:2 @ For the person who speaks in a tongue does not speak to people but to God. Indeed, no one understands him, because he is speaking secrets in the Spirit.

isv@1Corinthians:14:7 @ In the same way, lifeless instruments like the flute or harp produce sounds. But if there's no difference in the notes, how can a person tell what tune is being played?

isv@1Corinthians:14:14 @ For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays but my mind is not productive.

isv@1Corinthians:14:16 @ Otherwise, if you say a blessing with your spirit, how can an otherwise uneducated person say “Amen” to your thanksgiving, since he does not know what you're saying?

isv@1Corinthians:14:17 @ It's good for you to give thanks, but it does not build up the other person.

isv@1Corinthians:14:21 @ In the law it is written, “Through people of strange tonguesand through the mouths of foreigners I will speak to this people,but even then they will not listen to me,”declares the Lord.

isv@1Corinthians:14:22 @ Tongues, then, are meant to be a sign, not for believers, but for unbelievers, while prophecy is meant, not for unbelievers, but for believers.

isv@1Corinthians:14:28 @ If an interpreter is not present, he should remain silent in the church and speak to himself and God.

isv@1Corinthians:14:30 @ If a revelation is made to another person who is seated, the first person should be silent.

isv@1Corinthians:14:33 @ for God is not a God of disorder but of peace.As in all the churches of the saints,

isv@1Corinthians:14:34 @ the women must keep silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak out, but must place themselves in submission, as the law also says.

isv@1Corinthians:14:39 @ Therefore, my brothers, desire the ability to prophesy, and do not prevent others from speaking in tongues.

isv@1Corinthians:15:9 @ For I am the least of the apostles and not even fit to be called an apostle because I persecuted God's church.

isv@1Corinthians:15:10 @ But by God's grace I am what I am, and his grace shown to me was not wasted. Instead, I worked harder than all the others—not I, of course, but God's grace that was with me.

isv@1Corinthians:15:13 @ If there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not been raised,

isv@1Corinthians:15:14 @ and if Christ has not been raised, then our message means nothing and your faith means nothing.

isv@1Corinthians:15:15 @ In addition, we are found to be false witnesses about God because we testified on God's behalf that he raised Christ—whom he did not raise if in fact it is true that the dead are not raised.

isv@1Corinthians:15:16 @ For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised,

isv@1Corinthians:15:17 @ and if Christ has not been raised, your faith is worthless and you are still in your sins.

isv@1Corinthians:15:29 @ Otherwise, what will those people do who are being baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why are they being baptized for them?

isv@1Corinthians:15:32 @ If I have fought with wild animals in Ephesus from merely human motives, what do I get out of it? If the dead are not raised, “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.”

isv@1Corinthians:15:36 @ You fool! The seed you plant does not come to life unless it dies,

isv@1Corinthians:15:37 @ and what you plant is not the form that it will be, but a bare kernel, whether it is wheat or something else.

isv@1Corinthians:15:39 @ Not all flesh is the same. Humans have one kind of flesh, animals in general have another, birds have another, and fish have still another.

isv@1Corinthians:15:40 @ There are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the splendor of those in heaven is of one kind, and that of those on earth is of another.

isv@1Corinthians:15:41 @ One kind of splendor belongs to the sun, another to the moon, and still another to the stars. In fact, one star differs from another star in splendor.

isv@1Corinthians:15:42 @ This is how it will be at the resurrection of the dead. What is planted is decaying, what is raised cannot decay.

isv@1Corinthians:15:46 @ The spiritual does not come first, but the physical and then the spiritual.

isv@1Corinthians:15:50 @ Brothers, this is what I mean: Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, and what decays cannot inherit what does not decay.

isv@1Corinthians:15:51 @ Let me tell you a secret. Not all of us will die, but all of us will be changed—

isv@1Corinthians:15:53 @ For what is decaying must put on what cannot decay, and what is dying must put on what cannot die.

isv@1Corinthians:15:54 @ Now, when what is decaying puts on what cannot decay, and what is dying puts on what cannot die, then the saying that is written will be fulfilled: “Death has been swallowed up in victory!”

isv@1Corinthians:16:7 @ I do not want to see you now just in passing, because I hope to spend some time with you if the Lord permits.

isv@1Corinthians:16:10 @ If Timothy comes, see to it that he does not have anything to be afraid of while he is with you, for he is doing the Lord's work as I am.

isv@1Corinthians:16:12 @ Now concerning our brother Apollos, I strongly urged him to visit you with the other brothers, but he was not inclined to go just now. However, he will come when the time is right.

isv@1Corinthians:16:20 @ All the brothers greet you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.,

isv@2Corinthians:1:8 @ For we do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, about the suffering we experienced in Asia. We were so crushed beyond our ability to endure that we even despaired of living.

isv@2Corinthians:1:9 @ In fact, we felt within ourselves that we had received the sentence of death, so that we would not rely on ourselves but on the God who raises the dead.

isv@2Corinthians:1:13 @ For what we are writing you is nothing more than what you can read and also understand. I hope you will understand completely,

isv@2Corinthians:1:17 @ When I planned this, I did not do it lightly, did I? Are my plans so fickle that I can say “Yes” and “No” at the same time?

isv@2Corinthians:1:18 @ As certainly as God is faithful, our word to you is not “Yes” and “No.”

isv@2Corinthians:1:19 @ For God's Son, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us—by me, Silvanus, and Timothy—was not “Yes” and “No.” But with him it is always “Yes.”

isv@2Corinthians:1:23 @ I call upon God as a witness on my behalf that it was in order to spare you that I did not return to Corinth.

isv@2Corinthians:1:24 @ It is not that we are trying to lord it over your faith. On the contrary, we are workers with you to promote your joy, because you have been standing firm in the faith.

isv@2Corinthians:2:1 @ Now I decided not to pay you another painful visit.

isv@2Corinthians:2:3 @ This is the very reason I wrote you, so that when I did come I might not be made sad by those who should have made me happy. For I had confidence in all of you that my gladness would be for all of you.

isv@2Corinthians:2:4 @ For I wrote to you out of great sorrow and anguish of heart—along with many tears—not to make you sad but to let you know how much love I have for you.

isv@2Corinthians:2:11 @ so that we may not be outsmarted by Satan. After all, we are not unaware of his intentions.

isv@2Corinthians:2:13 @ But my spirit could not find any relief, because I couldn't find Titus, my brother. So I said goodbye to them and went on to Macedonia.

isv@2Corinthians:2:17 @ At least we are not commercializing God's word like so many others. Instead, in Christ we speak with sincerity, like people who are sent from God and are accountable to God.

isv@2Corinthians:3:1 @ Are we beginning to recommend ourselves again? Unlike some people, we do not need letters of recommendation to you or from you, do we?

isv@2Corinthians:3:3 @ You are demonstrating that you are Christ's letter, produced by our service, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.

isv@2Corinthians:3:5 @ By ourselves we are not qualified to claim that anything comes from us. Rather, our credentials come from God,

isv@2Corinthians:3:6 @ who has also qualified us to be ministers of a new covenant, which is not written but spiritual, because the written text brings death, but the Spirit gives life.

isv@2Corinthians:3:7 @ Now if the ministry of death that was inscribed in letters of stone came with such glory that the people of Israel could not gaze on Moses’ face (because the glory was fading away from it),

isv@2Corinthians:3:8 @ will not the Spirit's ministry have even more glory?

isv@2Corinthians:3:13 @ not like Moses, who kept covering his face with a veil to keep the people of Israel from gazing at the end of what was fading away.

isv@2Corinthians:4:1 @ Therefore, since we have this ministry through the mercy shown to us, we do not get discouraged.

isv@2Corinthians:4:2 @ Instead, we have renounced secret and shameful ways. We do not use trickery or pervert God's word. By clear statements of the truth we commend ourselves to everyone's conscience before God.

isv@2Corinthians:4:4 @ In their case, the god of this world has blinded the minds of those who do not believe to keep them from seeing the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God.

isv@2Corinthians:4:5 @ For we do not preach ourselves but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as merely your servants for Jesus’ sake.

isv@2Corinthians:4:7 @ But we have this treasure in clay jars to show that its extraordinary power comes from God and not from us.

isv@2Corinthians:4:8 @ In every way we're troubled but not crushed, frustrated but not in despair,

isv@2Corinthians:4:9 @ persecuted but not abandoned, struck down but not destroyed.

isv@2Corinthians:4:16 @ That's why we are not discouraged. No, even if our outer man is wearing out, our inner man is being renewed day by day.

isv@2Corinthians:4:18 @ because we do not look for things that can be seen but for things that cannot be seen. For things that can be seen are temporary, but things that cannot be seen are eternal.

isv@2Corinthians:5:1 @ We know that if the earthly tent we live in is torn down, we have a building in heaven that comes from God, an eternal house not built by human hands.

isv@2Corinthians:5:3 @ Of course, if we do put it on, we will not be found without a body.

isv@2Corinthians:5:4 @ So while we are still in this tent, we sigh under our burdens, because we do not want to put it off but to put it on, so that our dying bodies may be swallowed up by life.

isv@2Corinthians:5:7 @ For we live by faith, not by sight.

isv@2Corinthians:5:12 @ We are not recommending ourselves to you again but are giving you a reason to be proud of us, so that you can answer those who are proud of outward things rather than inward character.

isv@2Corinthians:5:16 @ So then, from now on we do not think of anyone from a human point of view. Even if we did think of Christ from a human point of view, we don't think of him that way any more.

isv@2Corinthians:5:19 @ For in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself by not counting their sins against them, and he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.

isv@2Corinthians:5:21 @ God made the one who did not know sin to be sin for us, so that we might become God's righteousness in him.

isv@2Corinthians:6:1 @ Since, then, we are working with God, we plead with you not to accept God's grace in vain.

isv@2Corinthians:6:3 @ We do not put an obstacle in anyone's way. Otherwise, fault may be found with our ministry.

isv@2Corinthians:6:9 @ as unknown and yet well-known, as dying and yet—as you see—very much alive, as punished and yet not killed,

isv@2Corinthians:6:10 @ as sorrowful and yet always rejoicing, as poor and yet enriching many, as having nothing and yet possessing everything.

isv@2Corinthians:6:12 @ We have not cut you off, but you have cut off your own feelings toward us.

isv@2Corinthians:7:2 @ Make room for us in your hearts! We have not treated anyone unjustly, harmed anyone, or cheated anyone.

isv@2Corinthians:7:3 @ I am not saying this to condemn you. I told you before that you are in our hearts to die together and to live together.

isv@2Corinthians:7:7 @ and not only by his arrival but also by the comfort he had received from you. He told us about your longing for me, your sorrow, and your eagerness to take my side, and this made me even happier.

isv@2Corinthians:7:8 @ If I made you sad with my letter, I do not regret it, although I did regret it then. I see that the letter caused you sorrow, though only for a while.

isv@2Corinthians:7:9 @ Now I am happy, not because you had such sorrow, but because your sorrow led you to repentance. For you were sorry in a godly way, and so you were not hurt by us in any way.

isv@2Corinthians:8:5 @ We did not expect that! They gave themselves to the Lord first and then to us, since this was God's will.

isv@2Corinthians:8:8 @ I am not commanding you but testing the genuineness of your love by the enthusiasm of others.

isv@2Corinthians:8:10 @ I am giving you my opinion on this matter because it will be helpful to you. Last year you were not only willing to do something, but had already started to do it.

isv@2Corinthians:8:12 @ For if the eagerness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what you have, not according to what you do not have.

isv@2Corinthians:8:13 @ Not that others should have relief while you have hardship. Rather, it is a question of fairness.

isv@2Corinthians:8:15 @ As it is written, “The person who had much did not have too much,and the person who had little did not have too little.”

isv@2Corinthians:8:21 @ We intend to do what is right, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of people.

isv@2Corinthians:9:1 @ I do not need to write to you any further about the ministry to the saints.

isv@2Corinthians:9:3 @ Now I have sent the brothers so that our boasting about you in this matter may not prove to be an idle boast, and so that you may stand ready, just as I said.

isv@2Corinthians:9:4 @ Otherwise, if any Macedonians come with me and find out that you are not ready, we would be humiliated—to say nothing of you—in this undertaking.

isv@2Corinthians:9:5 @ Therefore, I thought it necessary to urge these brothers to visit you ahead of me, to make arrangements in advance for this gift you promised, and to have it ready as something given generously and not forced.

isv@2Corinthians:9:7 @ Each of you must give what you have decided in your heart, not with regret or under compulsion, since God loves a cheerful giver.

isv@2Corinthians:9:12 @ For this ministry you render is not only fully supplying the needs of the saints, but it is also overflowing with more and more prayers of thanksgiving to God.

isv@2Corinthians:10:2 @ I beg you that when I come I will not need to be courageous by daring to oppose some people who think that we are living according to the flesh.

isv@2Corinthians:10:3 @ Of course, we are living in the flesh, but we do not fight in a fleshly way.

isv@2Corinthians:10:4 @ For the weapons of our warfare are not those of the flesh. Instead, they have the power of God to demolish fortresses. We tear down arguments

isv@2Corinthians:10:8 @ So if I boast a little too much about our authority, which the Lord gave us to build you up and not to tear you down, I will not be ashamed of it.

isv@2Corinthians:10:9 @ I do not want you to think that I am trying to frighten you with my letters.

isv@2Corinthians:10:11 @ Someone like this should take note of the following: What we say by letter when we are absent is what we will do when present!

isv@2Corinthians:10:12 @ We would not dare put ourselves in the same class with or compare ourselves to those who recommend themselves. When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves to themselves, they show how foolish they are.

isv@2Corinthians:10:13 @ We will not boast about what cannot be evaluated. Instead, we will stay within the field that God assigned us, so as to reach even you.

isv@2Corinthians:10:14 @ For it is not as though we were overstepping our limits when we came to you. We were the first to reach you with the gospel of Christ.

isv@2Corinthians:10:15 @ We are not boasting about the work done by others that cannot be evaluated. On the contrary, we cherish the hope that your faith may continue to grow and enlarge our sphere of action among you until it overflows.

isv@2Corinthians:10:18 @ It is not the person who commends himself who is approved, but the person whom the Lord commends.

isv@2Corinthians:11:4 @ For if someone comes along and preaches another Jesus than the one we preached, or should you receive a different spirit from the one you received or a different gospel from the one you accepted, you are all too willing to listen.

isv@2Corinthians:11:5 @ I do not think I'm inferior in any way to those “super-apostles.”

isv@2Corinthians:11:6 @ Even though I may be untrained as an orator, I am not so in the field of knowledge. We have made this clear to all of you in every possible way.

isv@2Corinthians:11:9 @ When I was with you and needed something, I did not bother any of you, because our brothers who came from Macedonia supplied everything I needed. I kept myself from being a burden to you in any way, and I will continue to do so.

isv@2Corinthians:11:10 @ As surely as the truth of Christ is in me, my boasting will not be silenced in the regions of Achaia.

isv@2Corinthians:11:11 @ Why? Because I do not love you? God knows that I do!

isv@2Corinthians:11:15 @ So it is not surprising if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their doom will match their deeds!

isv@2Corinthians:11:17 @ When I talk as a confident boaster, I am not talking with the Lord's authority but like a fool.

isv@2Corinthians:11:31 @ The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, who is blessed forever, knows that I am not lying.

isv@2Corinthians:12:1 @ I must boast, although it does not do any good. I will go on to visions and revelations from the Lord.

isv@2Corinthians:12:2 @ I know a man in Christ. Fourteen years ago—whether in his body or outside of his body, I do not know, but God knows—that man was snatched away to the third heaven.

isv@2Corinthians:12:3 @ I know that this man—whether in his body or outside of his body, I do not know, but God knows—

isv@2Corinthians:12:4 @ was snatched away to Paradise and heard things that cannot be expressed in words, things that no human being has a right even to mention.

isv@2Corinthians:12:6 @ However, if I did want to boast, I would not be a fool, because I would be telling the truth. But I am not going to do it in order to keep anyone from thinking more of me than what he sees and hears about me.

isv@2Corinthians:12:7 @ To keep me from becoming conceited because of the exceptional nature of these revelations, a thorn was given to me and placed in my body. It was Satan's messenger to keep on tormenting me so that I would not become conceited.

isv@2Corinthians:12:11 @ I have become a fool. You forced me to be one. Really, I should have been commended by you, for I am not in any way inferior to your “super-apostles,” even if I am nothing.

isv@2Corinthians:12:13 @ How were you treated worse than the other churches, except that I did not bother you for help? Forgive me for this wrong!

isv@2Corinthians:12:14 @ Here I am ready to visit you for a third time, and I will not bother you for help. I do not want your things but you. Children should not have to support their parents, but parents their children.

isv@2Corinthians:12:16 @ Granting that I have not been a burden to you, was I a clever schemer who trapped you by some trick?

isv@2Corinthians:12:17 @ I did not take advantage of you through any of the men I sent you, did I?

isv@2Corinthians:12:20 @ I am afraid that I may come and somehow find you not as I want to find you, and that you may find me not as you want to find me. Perhaps there will be quarreling, jealousy, angry feelings, selfishness, slander, gossip, arrogance, and disorderly conduct.

isv@2Corinthians:12:21 @ I am afraid that when I come my God may again humble me before you and that I may have to grieve over many who formerly lived in sin and have not repented of their impurity, sexual immorality, and promiscuity that they once practiced.

isv@2Corinthians:13:2 @ I have already warned those who sinned previously and all the rest. Although I am absent now, I am warning them as I did on my second visit: If I come back, I will not spare you,

isv@2Corinthians:13:3 @ since you want proof that Christ is speaking through me. He is not weak in dealing with you but is making his power felt among you.

isv@2Corinthians:13:5 @ Keep examining yourselves to see whether you are continuing in the faith. Test yourselves! You know, do not you, that Jesus Christ lives in you? Could it be that you are failing the test?

isv@2Corinthians:13:7 @ We pray to God that you will not do anything wrong—not to show that we have not failed the test, but so that you may do what is right, even if we seem to have failed.

isv@2Corinthians:13:8 @ For we cannot do anything against the truth, but only for the truth.

isv@2Corinthians:13:10 @ For this reason I am writing this while I am away from you: When I come I do not want to be severe in using the authority the Lord gave me to build you up and not to tear you down.

isv@2Corinthians:13:12 @ Greet one another with a holy kiss.

isv@Galatians:1:1 @ From Paul—an apostle not sent from men or by a man, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father who raised him from the dead—

isv@Galatians:1:7 @ which is not really another one. To be sure, there are certain people who are troubling you and want to distort the gospel about Christ.

isv@Galatians:1:10 @ Am I now trying to win the approval of people or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be Christ's servant.

isv@Galatians:1:11 @ For I want you to know, brothers, that the gospel that was proclaimed by me is not of human origin.

isv@Galatians:1:12 @ For I did not receive it from a man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ.

isv@Galatians:1:16 @ to reveal his Son to me so that I might proclaim him among the Gentiles, I did not confer with another human being at any time,

isv@Galatians:1:19 @ But I did not see any other apostle except James, the Lord's brother.

isv@Galatians:1:20 @ (I declare before God that what I am writing to you is not a lie.)

isv@Galatians:2:2 @ I went in response to a revelation, and in a private meeting with the reputed leaders I set before them the gospel I proclaim among the Gentiles. I did this because I was afraid that I was running or had run for nothing.

isv@Galatians:2:3 @ But not even Titus, who was with me, was forced to be circumcised, even though he was a Greek.

isv@Galatians:2:5 @ But we did not give in to them for a moment, so that the truth of the gospel might always remain with you.

isv@Galatians:2:6 @ Now those who were reputed to be important added nothing to my message. (What sort of people they were makes no difference to me, since God pays no attention to outward appearances.)

isv@Galatians:2:12 @ For until some men came from James, he was in the habit of eating with the Gentiles, but after they came he drew back and would not associate himself with them, being afraid of the circumcision party.

isv@Galatians:2:14 @ But when I saw that they were not acting consistently with the truth of the gospel, I told Cephas in front of everyone, “Though you are a Jew, you live like a Gentile and not like a Jew. So how can you insist that the Gentiles must live like Jews?”

isv@Galatians:2:15 @ We ourselves are Jews by birth, and not Gentile sinners,

isv@Galatians:2:16 @ yet we know that a person is not justified by the works of the law but by the faithfulness of Jesus Christ. We, too, have believed in Christ Jesus so that we might be justified by the faith of Christ and not by the works of the law, for no human being will be justified by the works of the law.

isv@Galatians:2:17 @ Now if we, while trying to be justified in Christ, have been found to be sinners, does that mean that Christ is a minister of sin? Of course not!

isv@Galatians:2:21 @ I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died for nothing.

isv@Galatians:3:1 @ You foolish Galatians! Who put you under a spell? Was not Jesus Christ clearly portrayed as crucified before your very eyes?

isv@Galatians:3:4 @ Did you suffer so much for nothing? (If it really was for nothing!)

isv@Galatians:3:10 @ Certainly all who depend on the works of the law are under a curse. For it is written, “A curse on everyone who does not obey everything that is written in the book of the law!”

isv@Galatians:3:12 @ But the law has nothing to do with faith. Instead, “The person who keeps the commandments will have life in them.”

isv@Galatians:3:17 @ This is what I mean: The law that came 430 years later did not cancel the covenant previously ratified by God so as to nullify the promise.

isv@Galatians:3:21 @ So is the law in conflict with the promises of God? Of course not! For if a law had been given that could give us life, then certainly righteousness would come through the law.

isv@Galatians:4:8 @ However, in the past, when you did not know God, you were slaves to things that are not really gods at all.

isv@Galatians:4:12 @ I beg you, brothers, to become like me, since I became like you. You did not do anything wrong to me.

isv@Galatians:4:14 @ Even though my condition put you to the test, you did not despise or reject me. On the contrary, you welcomed me as if I were an angel of God, as Christ Jesus himself.

isv@Galatians:4:17 @ These people are devoted to you, but not in a good way. They want you to avoid me so that you will be devoted to them.

isv@Galatians:4:18 @ (Now it is always good to be devoted to a good cause, even when I am not with you.)

isv@Galatians:4:27 @ For it is written, “Rejoice, you childless woman,who cannot give birth to any children! Break into song and shout,you who feel no pains of childbirth! For the children of the deserted womanare more numerous than the childrenof the woman who has a husband.”

isv@Galatians:4:31 @ So then, brothers, we are not children of the slave woman but of the free woman.

isv@Galatians:5:8 @ Such influence does not come from the one who calls you.

isv@Galatians:5:13 @ For you, brothers, were called to freedom. Only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity to gratify your flesh, but through love make it your habit to serve one another.

isv@Galatians:5:15 @ But if you bite and devour one another, be careful that you are not destroyed by each other.

isv@Galatians:5:17 @ For what the flesh wants is opposed to the Spirit, and what the Spirit wants is opposed to the flesh. They are opposed to each other, and so you do not do what you want to do.

isv@Galatians:5:18 @ But if you are being led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

isv@Galatians:5:21 @ envy, murder, drunkenness, wild partying, and things like that. I am telling you now, as I have told you in the past, that people who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

isv@Galatians:5:26 @ Let us stop being arrogant, provoking one another and envying one another.

isv@Galatians:6:1 @ Brothers, if a person is caught doing something wrong, those of you who are spiritual should restore that person in a spirit of gentleness. Watch out for yourself so that you are not tempted as well.

isv@Galatians:6:3 @ For if anyone thinks he is something when he is really nothing, he is only fooling himself.

isv@Galatians:6:4 @ Each person must approve his own actions, and then he can boast about his own accomplishments and not those of his neighbor.

isv@Galatians:6:7 @ Stop being deceived; God is not to be ridiculed. A person harvests whatever he plants.

isv@Galatians:6:9 @ Let us not get tired of doing what is good, for at the right time we will reap a harvest—if we do not give up.

isv@Galatians:6:13 @ Why, not even those who are circumcised obey the law! They simply want you to be circumcised so that they can boast about your flesh.

isv@Ephesians:1:21 @ He is far above every ruler, authority, power, dominion, and every name that can be named, not only in the present age but also in the one to come.

isv@Ephesians:2:8 @ For by such grace you have been saved through faith. This does not come from you; it is the gift of God

isv@Ephesians:2:9 @ and not the result of works, lest anyone boast.

isv@Ephesians:3:5 @ which in previous generations was not made known to human beings as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to God's holy apostles and prophets:

isv@Ephesians:3:13 @ So then, I ask you not to become discouraged because of my troubles on your behalf, which are your glory.

isv@Ephesians:4:2 @ with all humility and gentleness, along with patience, accepting one another in love.

isv@Ephesians:4:17 @ Therefore, I tell you and insist on in the Lord not to live any longer like the Gentiles live, thinking worthless thoughts.

isv@Ephesians:4:20 @ However, that is not the way you came to know Christ.

isv@Ephesians:4:25 @ Therefore, stripping off falsehood, “let each of us speak the truth to his neighbor,” for we are members of one another.

isv@Ephesians:4:26 @ “Be angry, yet do not sin.” Do not let the sun go down on your wrath,

isv@Ephesians:4:27 @ and do not give the devil an opportunity to work.

isv@Ephesians:4:30 @ Do not grieve the Holy Spirit, by whom you were marked with a seal for the day of redemption.

isv@Ephesians:4:32 @ And be kind to one another, compassionate, forgiving one another just as God has forgiven you in Christ.

isv@Ephesians:5:3 @ Do not let sexual sin, impurity of any kind, or greed even be mentioned among you, as is proper for saints.

isv@Ephesians:5:6 @ Do not let anyone deceive you with meaningless words, for it is because of these things that God's wrath comes on those who are disobedient.

isv@Ephesians:5:7 @ So do not be partners with them.

isv@Ephesians:5:11 @ and have nothing to do with the unfruitful works of darkness. Instead, expose them for what they are.

isv@Ephesians:5:15 @ So, then, be careful how you live. Do not be unwise but wise,

isv@Ephesians:5:17 @ Therefore, do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is.

isv@Ephesians:5:19 @ Then you will recite to one another psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs. You will sing and make music to the Lord with your hearts.

isv@Ephesians:5:21 @ And you will submit yourselves to one another out of reverence for Christ.

isv@Ephesians:6:4 @ Fathers, do not make your children angry, but bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.

isv@Ephesians:6:6 @ Do not do this only while being watched in order to please them, but be like slaves of Christ who do God's will from the heart.

isv@Ephesians:6:7 @ Serve willingly, as if you were serving the Lord and not merely people.

isv@Ephesians:6:9 @ Masters, treat your slaves the same way. Do not threaten them, for you know that both of you have the same Master in heaven, and there is no favoritism with him.

isv@Ephesians:6:12 @ For our struggle is not against a human opponent, but against rulers, against authorities, against cosmic powers in the darkness around us, against evil spiritual forces in the heavenly realm.

isv@Philippians:1:20 @ This is according to my eager expectation and hope that I will have nothing to be ashamed of. Instead, because of my boldness Christ will be exalted in my body, now as always, whether I live or die.

isv@Philippians:1:22 @ Now if I go on living in this body, that will produce more results, yet I do not know which I would prefer.

isv@Philippians:1:23 @ Indeed, I cannot decide between the two. I have the desire to leave this life and be with Christ, for that is far better.

isv@Philippians:1:28 @ and that you are not intimidated by your opponents in any way. This is evidence that they will be destroyed and that you will be saved—and all because of God.

isv@Philippians:1:29 @ For you have been given the privilege for Christ's sake not only to believe in him but also to suffer for him.

isv@Philippians:2:3 @ Do not act out of selfish ambition or conceit, but with humility think of others as being better than yourselves.

isv@Philippians:2:4 @ Do not be concerned about your own interests, but also be concerned about the interests of others.

isv@Philippians:2:6 @ In God's own form existed he,And shared with God equality,Deemed nothing needed grasping.

isv@Philippians:2:12 @ And so, my dear friends, just as you have always obeyed, not only when I was with you but even more now that I am absent, continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling.

isv@Philippians:2:16 @ as you hold out the word of life. Then I can boast in the day of Christ that I did not run in vain or work hard in vain.

isv@Philippians:2:20 @ I do not have anyone else like him who takes a genuine interest in your welfare.

isv@Philippians:2:21 @ For all the others look after their own interests, not after those of Jesus Christ.

isv@Philippians:2:27 @ Indeed, he was sick to the point of death, but God had mercy on him, and not only on him but also on me, so that I would not have one sorrow on top of another.

isv@Philippians:3:3 @ For it is we who are the circumcision—we who worship in the Spirit of God and boast in Christ Jesus. We have not placed any confidence in the flesh,

isv@Philippians:3:9 @ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but one that comes through the faithfulness of Christ, the righteousness that comes from God and that depends on faith.

isv@Philippians:3:12 @ It's not that I have already reached this goal or have already become perfect. But I keep pursuing it, hoping somehow to embrace it just as I have been embraced by Christ Jesus.

isv@Philippians:3:13 @ Brothers, I do not consider myself to have embraced it. But this one thing I do: Forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead,

isv@Philippians:4:10 @ Now I rejoice in the Lord greatly, because once again you have shown your concern for me. Of course, you were concerned for me but you did not have an opportunity to show it.

isv@Philippians:4:11 @ I am not saying this because I am in any need, for I have learned to be content in whatever situation I am in.

isv@Philippians:4:16 @ Even while I was in Thessalonica, you provided for my needs not once, but twice.

isv@Philippians:4:17 @ It is not that I am looking for a gift. No, I am looking for the profit that accumulates to your account.

isv@Colossians:1:9 @ For this reason, since the day we heard about this, we have not stopped praying for you and asking that you may be filled with the full knowledge of God's will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,

isv@Colossians:2:8 @ See to it that no one enslaves you through philosophy and empty deceit according to human tradition, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ.

isv@Colossians:2:19 @ He does not hold on to the head, from whom the whole body, which is nourished and held together by its joints and ligaments, grows with a growth that comes from God.

isv@Colossians:3:2 @ Keep your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on the earth.

isv@Colossians:3:9 @ Do not lie to one another, for you have stripped off the old man with its practices

isv@Colossians:3:13 @ Put up with one another and forgive each other if anyone has a complaint against another. Just as the Lord has forgiven you, you also should forgive.

isv@Colossians:3:16 @ Let the word of Christ dwell in you with all richness and wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, and singing to God with thankfulness in your hearts.

isv@Colossians:3:19 @ Husbands, love your wives, and do not be harsh with them.

isv@Colossians:3:21 @ Fathers, do not make your children resentful, lest they become discouraged.

isv@Colossians:3:22 @ Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything, not only while being watched in order to please them, but with a sincere heart, fearing the Lord.

isv@Colossians:3:23 @ Whatever you do, work at it wholeheartedly as though you were doing it for the Lord and not merely for people.

isv@1Thessalonians:1:5 @ for the gospel we brought did not come to you in words only, but also with power, with the Holy Spirit, and with deep conviction. Indeed, you know what kind of people we proved to be while we were with you, acting on your behalf.

isv@1Thessalonians:1:8 @ From you the word of the Lord has spread out not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place where your faith in God has become known. As a result, we do not need to say anything.

isv@1Thessalonians:2:1 @ For you yourselves know, brothers, that our visit to you was not a waste of time.

isv@1Thessalonians:2:3 @ For our appeal does not spring from deceit, impure motives, or trickery.

isv@1Thessalonians:2:4 @ Rather, because we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, we speak as we do, not trying to please people but God, who tests our motives.

isv@1Thessalonians:2:5 @ As you know, we did not come with words of flattery or with a scheme to make money. God is our witness!

isv@1Thessalonians:2:6 @ We did not seek praise from people—from you or from anyone else—

isv@1Thessalonians:2:8 @ We cared so deeply for you that we were determined to share with you not only the gospel of God but our very lives. That is how dear you were to us.

isv@1Thessalonians:2:9 @ You remember, brothers, our labor and toil. We worked night and day so that we would not become a burden to any of you while we proclaimed the gospel of God to you.

isv@1Thessalonians:2:13 @ Here is another reason why we constantly give thanks to God: When you received God's word, which you heard from us, you did not accept it as the word of humans but for what it really is—the word of God, which is at work in you who believe.

isv@1Thessalonians:2:17 @ Brothers, although we have been separated from you for a little while—in person but not in heart—we desire with great eagerness to see you again face to face.

isv@1Thessalonians:4:5 @ not with passion and lust like the Gentiles who do not know God;

isv@1Thessalonians:4:7 @ For God did not call us to impurity but to holiness.

isv@1Thessalonians:4:8 @ Therefore, whoever rejects this instruction is not rejecting human authority but God, who gives you his Holy Spirit.

isv@1Thessalonians:4:9 @ Now you do not need anyone to write to you about brotherly love, since you have been taught by God to love each other.

isv@1Thessalonians:4:12 @ so that you may win the respect of outsiders, and have need of nothing.

isv@1Thessalonians:4:13 @ But we do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, about those who have died, so that you may not grieve like other people who have no hope.

isv@1Thessalonians:4:18 @ So then, encourage one another with these words.

isv@1Thessalonians:5:1 @ Now you do not need to have anything written to you about times and dates, brothers,

isv@1Thessalonians:5:3 @ When people say, “There is peace and security,” destruction will strike them as suddenly as labor pains come to a pregnant woman, and they will not be able to escape.

isv@1Thessalonians:5:4 @ However, brothers, you are not in the darkness, in order that the day might surprise you like a thief.

isv@1Thessalonians:5:5 @ For all of you are children of light and children of day. We do not belong to the night or to darkness.

isv@1Thessalonians:5:6 @ Therefore, let us not fall asleep like others do, but let us stay awake and be sober.

isv@1Thessalonians:5:9 @ For God has not destined us for wrath but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

isv@1Thessalonians:5:11 @ So then, encourage one another and build each other up, as you are doing.

isv@1Thessalonians:5:19 @ Do not put out the Spirit's fire.

isv@1Thessalonians:5:20 @ Do not despise prophecies.

isv@2Thessalonians:1:8 @ in blazing fire. He will take revenge on those who do not know God and on those who refuse to obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.

isv@2Thessalonians:2:2 @ not to be so quickly upset or alarmed when someone claims that we said either by some spirit, conversation, or letter that the Day of the Lord has already come.

isv@2Thessalonians:2:3 @ Do not let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day cannot come unless the rebellion takes place first and the man of sin, who is destined for destruction, is revealed.

isv@2Thessalonians:2:12 @ Then all who have not believed the truth but have taken pleasure in unrighteousness will be condemned.

isv@2Thessalonians:3:2 @ Also pray that we may be rescued from worthless and evil people, since not everyone holds to the faith.

isv@2Thessalonians:3:6 @ In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ we command you, brothers, to keep away from every brother who is living in idleness and not living according to the tradition that they received from us.

isv@2Thessalonians:3:7 @ For you yourselves know what you must do to imitate us. We did not live in idleness among you.

isv@2Thessalonians:3:8 @ We did not eat anyone's food without paying for it. Instead, with toil and labor we worked night and day in order not to be a burden to any of you.

isv@2Thessalonians:3:9 @ It is not as though we did not have that right, but, we wanted to give you an example to follow.

isv@2Thessalonians:3:11 @ We hear that some of you are living in idleness. You are not busy working—you are busy interfering in other people's lives!

isv@2Thessalonians:3:13 @ Brothers, do not get tired of doing what is right.

isv@2Thessalonians:3:14 @ If anyone does not obey what we say in this letter, take note of him. Have nothing to do with him so that he will feel ashamed.

isv@1Timothy:1:7 @ They want to be teachers of the law, yet they do not understand either what they are talking about or the things about which they speak so confidently.

isv@1Timothy:1:9 @ that is, if he understands that the law is not intended for righteous people but for lawbreakers and rebels, for ungodly people and sinners, for those who are unholy and irreverent, for those who kill their fathers, their mothers, or other people,

isv@1Timothy:1:20 @ These include Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I handed over to Satan so that they may learn not to blaspheme.

isv@1Timothy:2:7 @ For this reason I was appointed to be a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth. (I am telling you the truth. I am not lying.)

isv@1Timothy:2:9 @ Women, for their part, should display their beauty by dressing modestly and decently in appropriate clothes, not by braiding their hair or by wearing gold, pearls, or expensive clothes,

isv@1Timothy:2:12 @ Moreover, I do not allow a woman to teach or to have authority over a man. Instead, she is to be quiet.

isv@1Timothy:2:14 @ And it was not Adam who was deceived. It was the woman who was deceived and became a lawbreaker.

isv@1Timothy:3:3 @ He must not drink excessively or be a violent person, but instead be gentle. He must not be argumentative or a lover of money.

isv@1Timothy:3:5 @ For if a man does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of God's church?

isv@1Timothy:3:6 @ He must not be a recent convert, or he might become arrogant and fall into the condemnation of the devil.

isv@1Timothy:3:8 @ Deacons, too, must be serious. They must not be two-faced, addicted to wine, or greedy for money.

isv@1Timothy:3:11 @ Their wives must also be serious. They must not be gossips, but instead be stable and trustworthy in everything.

isv@1Timothy:4:4 @ For everything God created is good, and nothing should be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving,

isv@1Timothy:4:7 @ Do not have anything to do with godless myths and fables of old women, but train yourself in godliness.

isv@1Timothy:4:12 @ Do not let anyone look down on you because you are young, but be an example for other believers in your speech, behavior, love, faithfulness, and purity.

isv@1Timothy:4:14 @ Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you through prophecy, accompanied by the laying on of the elders’ hands.

isv@1Timothy:5:8 @ If anyone does not take care of his own relatives, especially his immediate family, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

isv@1Timothy:5:11 @ But do not include younger widows on your list. For whenever their natural desires cause them to lose their devotion to Christ, they want to remarry.

isv@1Timothy:5:13 @ At the same time, they also learn how to be lazy while going from house to house. Not only this, but they even become gossips and keep busy by interfering in other people's lives, saying things they should not say.

isv@1Timothy:5:14 @ Therefore, I want younger widows to remarry, have children, manage their homes, and not give the enemy any chance to ridicule them.

isv@1Timothy:5:16 @ If any woman is a believer and has relatives who are widows, she should help them. The church should not be burdened so that it can help those who really are widows.

isv@1Timothy:5:18 @ For the Scripture says, “You must not muzzle an ox while it is treading out grain,” and“A worker deserves his pay.”

isv@1Timothy:5:19 @ Do not accept an accusation against an elder unless it is supported by two or three witnesses.

isv@1Timothy:5:21 @ In the sight of God, Christ Jesus, and the chosen angels, I solemnly call on you to carry out these instructions without prejudice, doing nothing on the basis of partiality.

isv@1Timothy:5:22 @ Do not ordain anyone hastily. Do not participate in the sins of others. Keep yourself pure.

isv@1Timothy:5:25 @ In the same way, good works are obvious, and those that are not cannot remain hidden.

isv@1Timothy:6:1 @ All who are under the yoke of slavery should regard their own masters as deserving of the highest respect, so that the name of God and our teaching may not be discredited.

isv@1Timothy:6:2 @ Moreover, those who have believing masters should not be disrespectful to them because they are fellow believers. Instead, they must serve them even better, because those who benefit from their service are believers and dear to them. These are the things you must teach and exhort.

isv@1Timothy:6:4 @ he is a conceited person and does not understand anything. He has an unhealthy craving for arguments and debates. This produces jealousy, rivalry, slander, evil suspicions,

isv@1Timothy:6:7 @ For we did not bring anything into the world, and surely we cannot take anything out of it.

isv@1Timothy:6:17 @ Tell those who are rich in the present world not to be arrogant and not to place their confidence in anything as uncertain as riches. Instead, let them place their confidence in God, who lavishly provides us with everything for our enjoyment.

isv@2Timothy:1:7 @ For God did not give us a spirit of timidity but one of power, love, and self-discipline.

isv@2Timothy:1:9 @ He saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our own works but according to his own purpose and the grace that was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began.

isv@2Timothy:1:12 @ That is why I suffer as I do. However, I am not ashamed, for I know the one in whom I have put my trust, and I'm convinced that he is able to protect what he has entrusted to me until that day.

isv@2Timothy:1:16 @ May the Lord grant mercy to the family of Onesiphorus, for he often took care of me and was not ashamed that I was a prisoner.

isv@2Timothy:2:9 @ Because of it I am experiencing trouble, even to the point of being chained like a criminal. However, God's word is not chained.

isv@2Timothy:2:13 @ Our faith may fail,his never wanes— For thus he is,he cannot change!

isv@2Timothy:2:14 @ Remind others about these things, and warn them in the sight of God not to argue over words. Arguing does not do any good but only destroys those who are listening.

isv@2Timothy:2:20 @ In a large house there are not only utensils made of gold and silver, but also those made of wood and clay. Some are for special use, while others are for ordinary use.

isv@2Timothy:2:23 @ Do not have anything to do with foolish and stupid discussions, because you know they breed arguments.

isv@2Timothy:2:24 @ A servant of the Lord must not argue. Instead, he must be kind to everyone, teachable, willing to suffer wrong,

isv@Titus:1:6 @ An elder must be blameless. He must be the husband of one wife and have children who are believers and who are not accused of having wild lifestyles or of being rebellious.

isv@Titus:1:7 @ Because an overseer is God's administrator, he must be blameless. He must not be arrogant or irritable. He must not drink too much, be a violent person, or use shameful ways to make money.

isv@Titus:1:11 @ They must be silenced, because they are the kind of people who ruin whole families by teaching what they should not teach in order to make money in a shameful way.

isv@Titus:1:14 @ and not pay attention to Jewish myths or commands given by people who reject the truth.

isv@Titus:1:15 @ Everything is clean to those who are clean, but nothing is clean to those who are corrupt and unbelieving. Indeed, their very way of thinking and their consciences have been corrupted.

isv@Titus:2:3 @ Likewise, older women are to show their reverence for God by their behavior. They are not to be gossips or addicted to alcohol, but to be examples of goodness.

isv@Titus:2:8 @ Use wholesome speech that cannot be condemned. Then any opponent will be ashamed because he cannot say anything bad about us.

isv@Titus:2:9 @ Slaves are to submit themselves to their masters in everything, aiming to please them and not argue with them

isv@Titus:2:15 @ These are the things you should say. Encourage and refute with full authority. Do not let anyone look down on you.

isv@Hebrews:2:16 @ For it is clear that he did not come to help angels. No, he came to help Abraham's descendants.

isv@Hebrews:3:8 @ do not harden your heartsas they did when they provoked meduring the time of testing in the wilderness.

isv@Hebrews:3:10 @ for forty years. That is why I was indignant with that generation and said,‘They are always going astray in their hearts,and they have not known my ways.’

isv@Hebrews:3:13 @ Instead, continue to encourage one another every day, as long as it is called “Today,” so that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.

isv@Hebrews:3:15 @ As it is said, “Today, if you hear his voice,do not harden your hearts as they didwhen they provoked me.”

isv@Hebrews:3:16 @ Now who heard him and provoked him? Was it not all those who came out of Egypt led by Moses?

isv@Hebrews:3:17 @ And with whom was he angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned and whose bodies fell in the wilderness?

isv@Hebrews:3:18 @ And to whom did he swear that they would never enter his rest, if not to those who disobeyed him?

isv@Hebrews:4:2 @ For we have had the good news told to us as well as to them, but the message they heard did not help them, because they were not united by faith with those who listened to it.

isv@Hebrews:4:7 @ he again fixes a definite day—“Today”—saying long afterward through David, as already quoted, “Today, if you hear his voice,do not harden your hearts.”

isv@Hebrews:4:8 @ For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not have spoken later about another day.

isv@Hebrews:4:15 @ For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin.

isv@Hebrews:5:5 @ In the same way, Christ did not take upon himself the glory of being a high priest. No, it was God who said to him, “You are my Son.Today I have become your Father.”

isv@Hebrews:5:6 @ As he also says in another place, “You are a priest foreveraccording to the order of Melchizedek.”

isv@Hebrews:6:1 @ Therefore, leaving behind the elementary teachings about Christ, let us continue to be carried along to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works, faith toward God,

isv@Hebrews:6:10 @ For God is not so unjust as to forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have ministered to the saints and continue to minister to them.

isv@Hebrews:7:6 @ But this man, whose descent is not traced from them, collected a tenth from Abraham and blessed the man who had received the promises.

isv@Hebrews:7:11 @ Now if perfection could have been attained through the Levitical priesthood—for on this basis the people received the law—what further need would there be to speak of appointing another kind of priest according to the order of Melchizedek, not one according to the order of Aaron?

isv@Hebrews:7:14 @ For it is obvious that our Lord was a descendant of Judah, and Moses said nothing about priests coming from that tribe.

isv@Hebrews:7:15 @ This point is even more obvious in that another priest who is like Melchizedek has appeared

isv@Hebrews:7:16 @ who was appointed to be a priest, not on the basis of a regulation concerning his ancestry, but rather on the basis of the power of an indestructible life.

isv@Hebrews:7:19 @ (for the law made nothing perfect), and a better hope is introduced, by which we approach God.

isv@Hebrews:7:21 @ but Jesus became a priest with an oath when God said to him, “The Lord has taken an oathand will not change his mind. You are a priest forever.”

isv@Hebrews:8:2 @ and who serves in the sanctuary, the true tabernacle set up by the Lord and not by any human.

isv@Hebrews:8:4 @ Now if he were on earth, he would not even be a priest, because other men offer the gifts prescribed by the law.

isv@Hebrews:8:9 @ It will not be like the covenant that I made with their ancestors at the timewhen I took them by the handand brought them out of the land of Egypt. Because they did not remain loyal to my covenant,I ignored them, declares the Lord.

isv@Hebrews:9:5 @ Above it were the cherubim of glory overshadowing the place of atonement. (We cannot discuss these things in detail now.)

isv@Hebrews:9:8 @ The Holy Spirit was indicating by this that the way into the Holy of Holies had not yet been disclosed as long as the first part of the tabernacle was still standing.

isv@Hebrews:9:9 @ This is an illustration of the present time, indicating that the gifts and sacrifices being offered could not make the conscience of the worshiper perfect,

isv@Hebrews:9:11 @ But when Christ came as a high priest of the good things that have come, he went through the greater and more perfect tabernacle that was not made by human hands and that is not a part of this creation.

isv@Hebrews:9:12 @ Not with the blood of goats and calves, but with his own blood he went into the Holy of Holies once for all and secured our eternal redemption.

isv@Hebrews:9:18 @ This is why even the first covenant was not put into effect without blood.

isv@Hebrews:9:24 @ For Christ did not go into a sanctuary made by human hands and just a copy of the true one, but into heaven itself, now to appear in God's presence on our behalf.

isv@Hebrews:9:25 @ Nor did he go into heaven to sacrifice himself again and again, the way the high priest goes into the Holy Place every year with blood that is not his own.

isv@Hebrews:9:28 @ so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people. And he will appear a second time, not to deal with sin, but to bring salvation to those who eagerly wait for him.

isv@Hebrews:10:1 @ For the law, being only a reflection of the blessings to come and not their substance, can never, by the same sacrifices repeatedly offered year after year, make those who come near perfect.

isv@Hebrews:10:2 @ Otherwise, would they not have stopped offering them, because the worshipers, cleansed once for all, would no longer be aware of any sins?

isv@Hebrews:10:5 @ For this reason, when Christ came into the world, he said, “You did not want sacrifices and offerings,but you prepared a body for me.

isv@Hebrews:10:24 @ And let us continue to consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds,

isv@Hebrews:10:25 @ not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another even more as you see the day coming nearer.

isv@Hebrews:10:35 @ So do not throw away your confidence, since it holds a great reward for you.

isv@Hebrews:10:37 @ For “in a very little whilethe one who is coming will returnand will not delay;

isv@Hebrews:10:39 @ Now, we do not belong to those who turn back and are destroyed, but to those who have faith and are saved.

isv@Hebrews:11:1 @ Now faith is the assurance of things we hope for, the certainty of things we cannot see.

isv@Hebrews:11:5 @ By faith Enoch was taken away without experiencing death. He could not be found, because God had taken him away. For before he was taken, he won approval as one who pleased God.

isv@Hebrews:11:7 @ By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, reverently prepared an ark to save his family, and by it he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.

isv@Hebrews:11:8 @ By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going.

isv@Hebrews:11:13 @ All these people died having faith. They did not receive the things that were promised, yet they saw them in the distant future and welcomed them, acknowledging that they were strangers and foreigners on earth.

isv@Hebrews:11:16 @ Instead, they were longing for a better country, that is, a heavenly one. That is why God is not ashamed to be called their God, because he has prepared a city for them.

isv@Hebrews:11:23 @ By faith Moses was hidden by his parents for three months after he was born, because they saw that he was a beautiful child and were not afraid of the king's order.

isv@Hebrews:11:31 @ By faith Rahab the prostitute did not die with those who were disobedient, because she had welcomed the spies with a greeting of peace.

isv@Hebrews:11:39 @ All these people won approval for their faith but did not receive what was promised,

isv@Hebrews:11:40 @ since God had planned something better for us so that they would not become perfect without us.

isv@Hebrews:12:3 @ Think about the one who endured such hostility from sinners, so that you may not become tired and give up.

isv@Hebrews:12:4 @ In your struggle against sin you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood.

isv@Hebrews:12:5 @ You have forgotten the encouragement that is addressed to you as sons: “My son, do not think lightly of the Lord's disciplineor give up when you are corrected by him.

isv@Hebrews:12:7 @ What you endure is for the sake of discipline. God is treating you as sons. Is there a son whom his father does not discipline?

isv@Hebrews:12:8 @ Now if you are without any discipline, in which all sons share, then you are illegitimate and not his sons.

isv@Hebrews:12:13 @ and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not become worse but rather be healed.

isv@Hebrews:12:17 @ For you know that afterwards, when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected because he could not find any opportunity to repent, even though he begged for it with tears.

isv@Hebrews:12:18 @ For you have not come to something that can be touched, to a blazing fire, to darkness, to gloom,

isv@Hebrews:12:19 @ to a trumpet's blast, or to a voice that made the hearers beg that not another word be spoken to them.

isv@Hebrews:12:20 @ For they could not endure the command that was given: “If even an animal touches the mountain, it must be stoned to death.”

isv@Hebrews:12:25 @ See to it that you do not ignore the one who is speaking. For if they did not escape when they ignored the one who warned them on earth, how much less will we escape if we turn away from the one who is from heaven!

isv@Hebrews:12:26 @ At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, “Once more I will shake not only the earth but also heaven.”

isv@Hebrews:12:27 @ The expression “once more” signifies the removal of what can be shaken, that is, what he has made, so that what cannot be shaken may remain.

isv@Hebrews:12:28 @ Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful and worship God in reverence and fear in a way that pleases him.

isv@Hebrews:13:6 @ Hence we can confidently say, “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can anyone do to me?”

isv@Hebrews:13:9 @ Stop being carried away by all kinds of unusual teachings, for it is good that the heart be strengthened by grace, not by food laws that have never helped those who follow them.

isv@Hebrews:13:16 @ Do not neglect to do good and to be generous, for God is pleased with such sacrifices.

isv@Hebrews:13:17 @ Continue to obey your leaders and to be submissive to them, for they watch over your souls as men who will have to give a word of explanation. Let them do this with joy and not with grief, for that would be harmful to you.

isv@James:1:4 @ But you must let endurance have its full effect, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking nothing.

isv@James:1:7 @ Such a person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.

isv@James:1:13 @ When someone is tempted, he should not say, “I am being tempted by God,” because God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone.

isv@James:1:16 @ Do not be deceived, my dear brothers.

isv@James:1:20 @ For human anger does not produce God's righteousness.

isv@James:1:22 @ Keep on being doers of the word, and not merely hearers who deceive themselves.

isv@James:1:23 @ For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at himself in a mirror.

isv@James:1:25 @ But the one who looks at the perfect law of freedom and remains committed to it—thus proving that he is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of what it requires—will be blessed in what he does.

isv@James:1:26 @ If anyone thinks that he is religious and does not bridle his tongue, but instead deceives his own heart, his religion is worthless.

isv@James:2:1 @ My brothers, do not practice your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ by showing partiality.

isv@James:2:5 @ Listen, my dear brothers! God has chosen the poor in the world to become rich in faith and to be heirs of the kingdom that he promised to those who love him, has he not?

isv@James:2:6 @ But you have humiliated the man who is poor. Are not rich people the ones who oppress you and drag you into court?

isv@James:2:7 @ Are not they the ones who blaspheme the excellent name by which you have been called?

isv@James:2:11 @ For the one who said, “Never commit adultery,” also said, “Never murder.” Now if you do not commit adultery but you murder, you become a violator of the law.

isv@James:2:14 @ What good does it do, my brothers, if someone claims to have faith but does not have any works? This kind of faith cannot save him, can it?

isv@James:2:15 @ Suppose a brother or sister does not have any clothes or daily food

isv@James:2:16 @ and one of you tells them, “Go in peace! Stay warm and eat heartily.” If you do not provide for their bodily needs, what good does it do?

isv@James:2:17 @ In the same way, faith by itself, if it does not have any works, is dead.

isv@James:2:24 @ You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone.

isv@James:3:1 @ Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more severely.

isv@James:3:2 @ For all of us make many mistakes. If someone does not make any mistakes when he speaks, he is perfect and able to control his whole body.

isv@James:3:10 @ From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. It should not be like this, my brothers!

isv@James:3:11 @ A spring cannot pour both fresh and brackish water from the same opening, can it?

isv@James:3:12 @ My brothers, a fig tree cannot produce olives, nor a grapevine figs, can it? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water.

isv@James:3:15 @ That kind of wisdom does not come from above. No, it is worldly, self-centered, and demonic.

isv@James:4:2 @ You want something but do not get it, so you commit murder. You covet something but cannot obtain it, so you quarrel and fight. You do not get things because you do not ask for them!

isv@James:4:3 @ You ask for something but do not get it because you ask for it for the wrong reason—for your own pleasure.

isv@James:4:5 @ Or do you think the Scripture means nothing when it says that the Spirit that God caused to live in us jealously yearns for us?

isv@James:4:11 @ Do not criticize each other, brothers. Whoever makes it his habit to criticize his brother or to judge his brother is judging the law and condemning the law. But if you condemn the law, you are not a doer of the law but its judge.

isv@James:4:14 @ You do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.

isv@James:5:6 @ You have condemned and murdered the one who is righteous, even though he did not resist you.

isv@James:5:9 @ Do not complain about each other, brothers, or you will be condemned. Look! The Judge is standing at the door!

isv@James:5:12 @ Above all, brothers, do not swear oaths by heaven, by earth, or by any other object. Instead, let your “Yes” mean yes and your “No” mean no, lest you fall under condemnation.

isv@James:5:16 @ Therefore, make it your habit to confess your sins to one another and to pray for one another, so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.

isv@James:5:17 @ Elijah was a man just like us, and he prayed earnestly for it not to rain, and it did not rain on the ground for three years and six months.

isv@1Peter:1:8 @ Though you have not seen him, you love him. And even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and rejoice with an indescribable and glorious joy,

isv@1Peter:1:12 @ It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves but you in regard to the things that have now been announced to you by those who brought you the good news through the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. These are things that even the angels desire to look into.

isv@1Peter:1:14 @ As obedient children, do not be shaped by the desires that you once had in your ignorance.

isv@1Peter:1:18 @ For you know that it was not with perishable things like silver or gold that you have been ransomed from the worthless way of life handed down to you by your ancestors,

isv@1Peter:1:22 @ Now that you have obeyed the truth and have purified your souls to love your brothers sincerely, you must love one another intensely and with a pure heart.

isv@1Peter:1:23 @ For you have been born again, not by a seed that perishes but by one that cannot perish—by the living and everlasting word of God.

isv@1Peter:2:7 @ Therefore he is precious to you who believe, but to those who do not believe, “The stone that the builders rejectedhas become the cornerstone,

isv@1Peter:2:10 @ Once you were not a people,but now you are the people of God. Once you had not received mercy,but now you have received mercy.

isv@1Peter:2:16 @ Live like free people, and do not use your freedom as an excuse for doing evil. Instead, be God's servants.

isv@1Peter:2:18 @ You household servants must submit yourselves to your masters with all fear, not only to those who are kind and fair, but also to those who are unjust.

isv@1Peter:2:23 @ When he was insulted, he did not retaliate. When he suffered, he did not threaten but made it his habit to commit the matter to the one who judges fairly.

isv@1Peter:3:3 @ Your beauty should not be an external one, consisting of braided hair or the wearing of gold ornaments and dresses.

isv@1Peter:3:6 @ just as Sarah obeyed Abraham and called him lord. You have become her daughters by doing good and by not letting anything terrify you.

isv@1Peter:3:7 @ In a similar way, you husbands must live with your wives in an understanding manner, as with a most delicate vessel. Honor them as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing may interfere with your prayers.

isv@1Peter:3:9 @ Do not pay others back evil for evil or insult for insult. Instead, bless them, because you were called to inherit a blessing.

isv@1Peter:3:21 @ Baptism, which is symbolized by that water, now saves you also, not by removing dirt from the body, but by asking God for a clear conscience based on the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

isv@1Peter:4:2 @ so that he can live the rest of his time in the flesh guided, not by human desires, but by the will of God.

isv@1Peter:4:9 @ Show hospitality to one another without complaining.

isv@1Peter:4:10 @ As good managers of God's grace in its various forms, serve one another with the gift each of you has received.

isv@1Peter:4:12 @ Dear friends, do not be surprised by the fiery ordeal that is taking place among you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you.

isv@1Peter:4:16 @ But if you suffer for being a Christian, do not feel ashamed, but glorify God with that name.

isv@1Peter:5:2 @ Be shepherds of God's flock that is among you, watching over it, not because you must but because you want to, and not greedily but eagerly, as God desires.

isv@1Peter:5:3 @ Do not lord it over the people entrusted to you, but be examples to the flock.

isv@1Peter:5:5 @ In a similar way, you young people must be submissive to the elders. All of you must put on the apron of humility before one another, because “God opposes the arrogant,but gives grace to the humble.”

isv@1Peter:5:14 @ Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace be to all of you who are in Christ!

isv@2Peter:1:16 @ When we told you about the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, we did not follow any clever myths. Rather, we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.

isv@2Peter:2:3 @ In their greed they will exploit you with deceptive words. The ancient verdict against them is still in force, and their destruction is not asleep.

isv@2Peter:2:4 @ For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but threw them into hell and committed them to chains of deepest darkness to be kept for judgment;

isv@2Peter:2:5 @ and if he did not spare the ancient world but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others when he brought the flood on the world of ungodly people;

isv@2Peter:2:10 @ especially those who satisfy their flesh by indulging in its passions and who despise authority.Being bold and arrogant, they are not afraid to slander glorious beings.

isv@2Peter:2:11 @ Yet even angels, although they are greater in strength and power, do not bring a slanderous accusation against them from the Lord.

isv@2Peter:2:14 @ With eyes full of adultery, they cannot get enough of sin. They seduce unsteady souls and have had their hearts expertly trained in greed. They are doomed to a curse.

isv@2Peter:2:16 @ But he was rebuked for his offense. A donkey that normally cannot talk spoke with a human voice and restrained the prophet's insanity.

isv@2Peter:2:21 @ It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness than to know it and turn their backs on the holy commandment that was committed to them.

isv@2Peter:3:9 @ The Lord is not slow about his promise, as some people understand slowness, but is being patient with you. He does not want anyone to perish, but wants everyone to come to repentance.

isv@2Peter:3:17 @ And so, dear friends, since you already know these things, continually be on your guard not to be carried away by the deception of lawless people, lest you fall from your secure position.

isv@1John:1:6 @ If we claim that we have fellowship with him but keep living in the darkness, we are lying and the truth is not in us.

isv@1John:1:7 @ But if we keep living in the light as he himself is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.

isv@1John:1:8 @ If we say that we do not have any sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us.

isv@1John:1:10 @ If we say that we have never sinned, we make him a liar and his word is not in us.

isv@1John:2:1 @ My little children, I'm writing these things to you so that you might not sin. Yet if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father—Jesus Christ, one who is righteous.

isv@1John:2:2 @ It is he who is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world's.

isv@1John:2:4 @ The person who says, “I have come to know him,” but does not continually keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in that person.

isv@1John:2:7 @ Dear friends, I am not writing to you a new commandment, but an old commandment that you have had from the beginning. This old commandment is the word you have heard.

isv@1John:2:11 @ But the person who hates his brother is in the darkness and lives in the darkness. He does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

isv@1John:2:15 @ Stop loving the world and the things that are in the world. If anyone persists in loving the world, the Father's love is not in him.

isv@1John:2:16 @ For everything that is in the world—the desire for fleshly gratification, the desire for possessions, and worldly arrogance—is not from the Father but is from the world.

isv@1John:2:19 @ They left us, but they were not part of us, for if they had been part of us, they would have stayed with us. They simply made it clear that none of them was really part of us.

isv@1John:2:21 @ I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it and because no lie comes from the truth.

isv@1John:2:27 @ The anointing you received from him abides in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. Instead, because his anointing teaches you about everything and is true and not a lie, abide in him, as he taught you to do.

isv@1John:2:28 @ Even now, little children, abide in him. Then, when he appears, we will have confidence and will not turn away from him in shame at his coming.

isv@1John:3:1 @ See what kind of love the Father has given us in letting us be called God's children! Yet that is what we are. For this reason the world does not recognize us, because it did not recognize him either.

isv@1John:3:2 @ Dear friends, we are now God's children, but what we will be like has not been revealed yet. We know that when Christ is revealed we will be like him, because we will see him as he is.

isv@1John:3:5 @ You know that he was revealed to take away sins, and there is not any sin in him.

isv@1John:3:9 @ No one who has been born from God practices sin, because God's seed abides in him. Indeed, he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born from God.

isv@1John:3:11 @ This is the message that you have heard from the beginning: We should love one another.

isv@1John:3:12 @ Do not be like Cain, who was from the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own deeds were evil and his brother's were righteous.

isv@1John:3:13 @ So do not be surprised, brothers, if the world hates you.

isv@1John:3:14 @ We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love one another. The person who does not love remains in death.

isv@1John:3:17 @ Whoever has earthly possessions and notices a brother in need and yet withholds his compassion from him, how can the love of God remain in him?

isv@1John:3:21 @ Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence in the presence of God.

isv@1John:3:23 @ And this is his commandment: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us.

isv@1John:4:3 @ But every spirit who does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist. You have heard that he is coming, and now he is already in the world.

isv@1John:4:6 @ We belong to God. The person who knows God listens to us. Whoever does not belong to God does not listen to us. This is how we know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of deceit.

isv@1John:4:7 @ Dear friends, let us continually love one another, because love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born from God and knows God.

isv@1John:4:8 @ The person who does not love does not know God, because God is love.

isv@1John:4:10 @ This is love: not that we have loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins.

isv@1John:4:11 @ Dear friends, if this is the way God loved us, we must also love one another.

isv@1John:4:12 @ No one has ever seen God. If we love one another, God lives in us, and his love is perfected in us.

isv@1John:4:18 @ There is no fear where love exists. Rather, perfect love banishes fear, for fear involves punishment, and the person who lives in fear has not been perfected in love.

isv@1John:4:20 @ Whoever says, “I love God,” but hates his brother is a liar. The one who does not love the brother whom he has seen cannot love a God whom he has not seen.

isv@1John:5:3 @ For this is the love of God: that we keep his commandments; and his commandments are not difficult,

isv@1John:5:5 @ Who overcomes the world? Is it not the person who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

isv@1John:5:6 @ This man, Jesus Christ, is the one who came by water and blood—not with water only, but with water and with blood. The Spirit is the one who verifies this, because the Spirit is the truth.

isv@1John:5:10 @ The person who believes in the Son of God has this testimony in himself. The person who does not believe God has made him a liar by not believing the testimony that God has given about his Son.

isv@1John:5:12 @ The person who has the Son has this life. The person who does not have the Son of God does not have this life.

isv@1John:5:16 @ If anyone sees his brother committing a sin that does not lead to death, he should pray that God would give him life. This applies to those who commit sins that do not lead to death. There is a sin that leads to death. I am not telling you to pray about that.

isv@1John:5:17 @ Every kind of wrongdoing is sin, yet there are sins that do not lead to death.

isv@1John:5:18 @ We know that the person who has been born from God does not go on sinning. Rather, the Son of God protects them, and the evil one cannot harm them.

isv@2John:1:1 @ From the elder to the chosen lady and her children, whom I love in the truth, and not only I but also all who know the truth,

isv@2John:1:5 @ I am now requesting you, dear lady, that we continue to love each other. It is not as though I am writing to give you a new commandment, but one that we have had from the beginning.

isv@2John:1:9 @ Everyone who does not abide in the teaching of Christ but goes beyond it does not have God. The person who abides in the teaching of Christ has both the Father and the Son.

isv@2John:1:10 @ If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not take him into your home or even greet him,
