mnt@Romans:1:1 @ From Paul, a slave of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, set apart for a gospel of God,

mnt@Romans:1:5 @ It is through him, even Jesus Christ our Lord, that I received grace and apostleship to promote obedience to the faith among all the Gentiles, for his names sake;

mnt@Romans:1:6 @ among whom you also are called to be Jesus Christs.

mnt@Romans:1:7 @ To all that are in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints. May God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ, bless you, and give you peace.

mnt@Romans:1:9 @ God is my witness, to whom I render holy service in my spirit in the gospel of his Son, how unceasingly I am ever making mention of you in my prayers,

mnt@Romans:1:10 @ always entreating him that now at length, if such be his will, the way may be made clear for me to come to you.

mnt@Romans:1:11 @ For I am longing so to see you, in order to impart to you some spiritual gift, so that you may be established;

mnt@Romans:1:13 @ I want you to know, brothers, that many a time I have planned to come to you - though until now I have been hindered - so as to have some harvest-fruit among you also, even as I have among the rest of the Gentiles.

mnt@Romans:1:14 @ To Greeks and to barbarians, to the cultured and to the uncultured, I have a debt to discharge.

mnt@Romans:1:15 @ So much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you also who are in Rome.

mnt@Romans:1:17 @ FOR IN IT IS BEING REVEALED A RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH PROCEEDS FROM GOD, FROM FAITH UNTO FAITH; AS IT IS WRITTEN.

mnt@Romans:1:19 @ This is so because that which may be known of God is manifest among them; for God has made it manifest to them.

mnt@Romans:1:22 @ While they professed to be wise, they became fools,

mnt@Romans:1:24 @ So God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their own bodies;

mnt@Romans:1:25 @ because they exchanged the truth of God for an untruth, and worshiped and served the creature, rather than the Creator who is blessed forever. Amen.

mnt@Romans:1:26 @ That is why God has given them up to passions of dishonor; for on the one hand their women actually changed the natural function of sex into that which is against nature;

mnt@Romans:1:28 @ And just as they refused to continue to retain God in their knowledge, so did God cast them out to an outcast mind, to do those things which were indecent.

mnt@Romans:1:30 @ They became whisperers, back-biters, hated of God, insolent, haughty, boastful. They invented sins. They were disobedient to parents.

mnt@Romans:1:32 @ Though they knew well the ordinance of God, that those who practise such vices are worthy of death, they not only continue to do the same, but were even applauding those who practise vice.

mnt@Romans:2:4 @ Or do you despise the riches of his kindness and forbearance and long patience? Do you not know that the kindness of God is leading you to repentance?

mnt@Romans:2:6 @ For He will render to every man according to his works;

mnt@Romans:2:7 @ eternal life to those who by patience in well-doing strive for glory and honor and immortality;

mnt@Romans:2:10 @ but glory and honor and peace to every man who does good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile.

mnt@Romans:2:14 @ For when Gentiles, who have no law, obey by natural instinct the commands of the Law, they even though they have no law, are a law to themselves.

mnt@Romans:2:16 @ in the day when God will judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to my gospel.

mnt@Romans:2:20 @ an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of the young, because you have in the Law the form of knowledge and of the truth - well then, you who are teaching others, do you ever teach yourself?

mnt@Romans:2:25 @ Circumcision does indeed profit, if you are obedient to the Law; but if you habitually break the Law, your circumcision is become uncircumcision.

mnt@Romans:2:26 @ So if the uncircumcised keeps the ordinance of the Law, shall not his uncircumcision be reckoned equivalent to circumcision.

mnt@Romans:3:2 @ Much in every way. First of all, because to them were entrusted the oracles of God.

mnt@Romans:3:7 @ But if by a falsehood of mine the truthfulness of God has been made to redound to his glory, why am I still tried as a sinner?

mnt@Romans:3:8 @ And why not say (as I myself am slanderously reported to say), "Let us do evil that good may come out of it"? Such arguments are rightly condemned.

mnt@Romans:3:13 @ Their throat is an open grave; With their tongues they have used deceit. The venom of asps is under their lips.

mnt@Romans:3:15 @ Their feet are swift to shed blood.

mnt@Romans:3:19 @ Now we know that whatever the Law says, it speaks to those who are under the Law; so that every mouth may be shut, and all the world may be brought under the judgment of God.

mnt@Romans:3:21 @ But now, quite apart from any law, a righteousness coming from God has been fully brought to light, continually witnessed to by the Law and the Prophets.

mnt@Romans:3:25 @ For God openly set him forth for himself as an offering of atonement through faith, by means of his blood, in order to show forth his righteousness - since in his forbearance he had passed over the sins previously committed - to show forth his righteousness,

mnt@Romans:3:28 @ For I conclude that a man is justified by faith, altogether apart from the deeds of the Law.

mnt@Romans:4:1 @ What then shall we say of Abraham, our ancestor in the flesh?

mnt@Romans:4:2 @ For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to be proud of, but not before God.

mnt@Romans:4:3 @ For what does Scripture say? And Abraham believed God, and it was set down to his account as righteousness.

mnt@Romans:4:4 @ Now if a man earn his pay by his work, it is not counted to him as a favor, but it is paid him as a debt;

mnt@Romans:4:5 @ but a man who does not "work," but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, has his faith imputed to him for righteousness.

mnt@Romans:4:6 @ Just as David also speaks of the blessedness of the man to whom God imputes righteousness apart from actions.

mnt@Romans:4:8 @ Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.

mnt@Romans:4:9 @ Is this blessing, then, for the circumcised alone? or for the uncircumcised also? Abrahams faith, I say, was imputed to him for righteousness.

mnt@Romans:4:10 @ How then was it imputed to him? When he was circumcised? or uncircumcised? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision;

mnt@Romans:4:11 @ and he received circumcision as a sign, a seal of the faith- righteousness which he had while he was in uncircumcision; in order that he might be the father of all who believe, even though they are uncircumcised; so that righteousness might be imputed to them.

mnt@Romans:4:12 @ He is the father of circumcision to those who are not merely circumcised, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham which he held while he was as yet uncircumcised.

mnt@Romans:4:13 @ For the promise that he should be heir of the world did not come to Abraham or to his posterity through law, but through faith- righteousness.

mnt@Romans:4:16 @ This is why righteousness is of faith, that it may be a free gift; so that the promise stands firm to all Abrahams posterity; not to his children of his faith. For in the sight of the God in whom he believed, who gives life to the dead, and calls into being that which is not, Abraham is the father of us all both Jews and Gentiles,

mnt@Romans:4:18 @ For Abraham, hoping against hope, had faith to the end that he might become a father of many nations, according to that which had been spoken, So numberless shall your descendants be.

mnt@Romans:4:20 @ Nor did he with regard to the promise of God waver in unbelief, but he waxed strong in faith, while he gave God glory,

mnt@Romans:4:21 @ and was fully persuaded that what God had promised, he was able also to perform.

mnt@Romans:4:22 @ And so his faith was reckoned to him for righteousness.

mnt@Romans:4:24 @ For it will be "reckoned for righteousness." to us also, who believe on him that raised from the dead our Lord Jesus;

mnt@Romans:4:25 @ who was betrayed to death for our transgressions, and raised again to life for our justification.

mnt@Romans:5:1 @ Since we stand justified as the result of faith, let us continue to enjoy the peace we have with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.

mnt@Romans:5:2 @ Through him also we have had our access into this grace in which we have taken our stand, and are exulting in hope of the glory of God.

mnt@Romans:5:5 @ a hope which never disappoints us. For through the Holy Spirit who has given to us, the "brimming river of the love of God" has overflowed in our hearts.

mnt@Romans:5:7 @ Why, a man will hardly give his life for another, even for a righteous man, though perchance for a good man one might even take it upon himself to die.

mnt@Romans:5:8 @ But God gives proof of his love to us by the fact that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

mnt@Romans:5:10 @ For if, when we were Gods enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved in his life.

mnt@Romans:5:12 @ Thus, then, sin came into the world through one man, and through sin came death and so death spread to all men, because all had sinned.

mnt@Romans:5:13 @ For prior to the Law, sin actually existed in the world, but sin was not set down to mans account when there was no law.

mnt@Romans:5:14 @ Nevertheless, from Adam to Moses death reigned as king, even over those who had not sinned after the likeness of Adams transgression. Now Adam is a type of Him who was to come.

mnt@Romans:5:15 @ But the free gift is not like the transgression; for if through the transgression of that one man the rest on men died, much more did the grace of God and the gift given in his grace in the one Man, Jesus Christ, overflow unto the rest of men.

mnt@Romans:5:16 @ And it is not with the free gift as it was through the one that sinned; for the judgment came from one transgression unto condemnation; but the free gift came from many transgressions unto acquittal.

mnt@Romans:5:18 @ It follows then, as through the transgression of one man came condemnation unto all men, even so through the act of righteousness of One came acquittal and life to all men.

mnt@Romans:6:1 @ What then shall we say? Shall we continue to abound in sin, in order that grace may come to abound?

mnt@Romans:6:2 @ No indeed; how shall we who have died to sin still go on living in it any longer?

mnt@Romans:6:3 @ For do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Jesus Christ, have been baptized into his death?

mnt@Romans:6:4 @ We have been buried together with him, then, through baptism into his death, in order that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so also we should live in a newness of life.

mnt@Romans:6:6 @ For this we know, that our old self was crucified with Christ, in order that the slave of sin might be destroyed; so that we should no longer be in slavery to sin -

mnt@Romans:6:10 @ For the death that he died, he died unto sin once for all; but the life that he lives he is living unto God.

mnt@Romans:6:11 @ Even so count yourselves also to be dead unto sin, but alive unto God in Christ Jesus.

mnt@Romans:6:12 @ Therefore let not sin rule as king in your mortal body, compelling you to obey its lusts.

mnt@Romans:6:13 @ Do not continue to present any part of your body to sin to be used as a weapon of unrighteousness. On the contrary, be presenting yourselves to God, as alive from the dead, and the various parts of your bodies to be used as weapons of righteousness.

mnt@Romans:6:16 @ Do you not know that when you surrender yourselves as slaves to any one to obey him, you are his slaves whom you obey; whether it be sin, whose end is death, or obedience, whose end is righteousness?

mnt@Romans:6:17 @ But God be thanked that you who were once the slaves of sin have obeyed from your hearts that type of teaching to which you were appointed;

mnt@Romans:6:19 @ I speak in these homely figures because of the weakness of your fleshly nature - just as you once surrendered your faculties into slavery to impurity and to all lawlessness, so now you must surrender your faculties into slavery to righteousness, unto deeds of holiness.

mnt@Romans:6:20 @ For when you were the slaves of sin, you were under no subjection to righteousness.

mnt@Romans:6:22 @ But now that you have been set free from sin and become slaves of God, the harvest-fruit which you are reaping tends to produce holiness, and it ends is life eternal.

mnt@Romans:7:1 @ Surely, brothers, you know (for I am speaking to those who know what law means) that law governs a person only during his lifetime?

mnt@Romans:7:2 @ For a married woman who has a husband is bound by law to her husband during his lifetime; but if her husband dies, she is released from the law of her husband.

mnt@Romans:7:4 @ So also, my brother, you were made dead to the Law through the body of Christ; that you should be joined to another, even to Him who was raised from the dead that we might bear fruit for God.

mnt@Romans:7:5 @ For while we were unspiritual, the sinful passions, aroused by the Law, were ever active in every part of our bodies, leading us to bear fruit unto death.

mnt@Romans:7:6 @ But now we have been released from the Law, because we are dead to that in which we were held; so that we are now in thraldom in new and spiritual conditions, and not under the old written code.

mnt@Romans:7:10 @ and the very commandment which should have meant life, this I found to mean death.

mnt@Romans:7:15 @ For what I perform I know not; what I practise is not what I intend to do, but what I detest, that I habitually do.

mnt@Romans:7:16 @ If then I habitually do what I do not intend to do, I am consenting to the Law, that it is right.

mnt@Romans:7:18 @ For I know that in me, that is in my flesh, no good thing has its home; for while to will is present with me, to carry out that which is right is not.

mnt@Romans:7:19 @ For the good that I intend to do, I do not; but the evil which I do not; but the evil which I do not intend to do, that I am ever practising.

mnt@Romans:7:20 @ But if I do the very thing I do not intend to do, it is no more I who practise it, but sin which has its home in me.

mnt@Romans:7:21 @ I find, then, this law, that when I intend to do good, evil is ever present with me.

mnt@Romans:7:23 @ but I find a different law in my bodily faculties, waging war with the law of my will, and taking me prisoner to that law of sin which is in my bodily faculties.

mnt@Romans:7:25 @ Oh, thank God! it is through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then I myself in my will am in thraldom to the law of God; yet in my animal nature I am in thraldom to the law of sin.

mnt@Romans:8:1 @ Thus there is now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus;

mnt@Romans:8:5 @ For they who live after the flesh, give their attention to the things of the flesh; But they who live after the spirit, give their attention to spiritual things.

mnt@Romans:8:6 @ To be earthly minded means death; To be spiritually minded means life and peace.

mnt@Romans:8:7 @ For to be earthly minded is enmity against God; For such a mind is not subject to the Law of God, Nor can it be;

mnt@Romans:8:12 @ Therefore, brothers, we are debtors - but not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh;

mnt@Romans:8:13 @ for if you go on living according to the flesh, you are on the road to die; but if by the Spirit you keep putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

mnt@Romans:8:17 @ and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ; but to share his glory, we must now be sharing his sufferings.

mnt@Romans:8:18 @ For I count as nothing what we now suffer, in comparison with the glory which will soon be unveiled to us.

mnt@Romans:8:20 @ For nature was subjected to imperfection, not by its own will, but by the will of Him who thus made it subject -

mnt@Romans:8:21 @ yet not without the hope that some day nature itself also will be freed from the thraldom of decay, into the freedom which belongs to the glory of the children of God.

mnt@Romans:8:22 @ For we know that all nature has been groaning and travailing together until this hour.

mnt@Romans:8:26 @ In the same way the Spirit also takes hold with us in our weakness; for we know knot how to pray as we ought; but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

mnt@Romans:8:27 @ And the Searcher of Hearts knows what the Sprits meaning is, because his intercessions for the saints are according to the will of God.

mnt@Romans:8:28 @ Now we know that all things continually work together for good to to those who love God, to those who have been the called according to his purpose.

mnt@Romans:8:29 @ For whom he foreknew, he also foreordained to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, so that he might be the eldest of a great brotherhood;

mnt@Romans:8:31 @ What shall we say then, to these things? If God be for us, Who can be against us?

mnt@Romans:8:34 @ Who is there to condemn them? Will Christ who died? Yes, and who rose from the dead, The Christ who is also at the right hand of God, And is interceding for us?

mnt@Romans:8:38 @ For I am fully persuaded that neither death nor life, Neither angels nor principalities, nor powers, Neither the present world nor the world to come, Nor the powers of Nature,

mnt@Romans:8:39 @ Nor height, nor depth, Nor any other created thing, Shall be able to separate us from the love of God Which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

mnt@Romans:9:3 @ For I was on the point of praying to be accursed from Christ on behalf of my brothers, my kinsmen according to the flesh.

mnt@Romans:9:4 @ For they are Israelites; to them belong the sonship, the Shekinah glory, the covenants, the giving of the Law; the service of the temple, and the promises;

mnt@Romans:9:9 @ For thus is the word of promise, According to this season I will come, and Sarah shall bear a son.

mnt@Romans:9:11 @ and even though they were still unborn, and had done nothing either good or bad, in order that the purpose of God might stand according to election, not of works, but of Him who called,

mnt@Romans:9:12 @ it was said to her, The elder shall serve the younger.

mnt@Romans:9:15 @ His words to Moses are. I will have mercy on whom I choose to have mercy; I will have compassion on whom I choose to have compassion.

mnt@Romans:9:17 @ For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, It is for this very purpose that I have raised you up, To show in you my power, And to proclaim my name far and wide, in all the earth.

mnt@Romans:9:19 @ Then you will say to me. "Why does he still go on finding fault? Who can withstand his will?"

mnt@Romans:9:20 @ "Nay, but who are you, O man, that replies to God? Shall the thing formed say unto him who formed it, "Why did you do me like this?"

mnt@Romans:9:21 @ Or has not the potter power over the clay, to make out of the same lump one vessel for noble, and another for ignoble uses?

mnt@Romans:9:22 @ But what if God, while intending to show forth his wrath, and to make known his power, yet endured, with much long-suffering, vessels of wrath, fitted to destruction?

mnt@Romans:9:23 @ And what if he thus purposed to make known the riches of his glory upon vessels of mercy, which he had before prepared for glory?

mnt@Romans:9:26 @ And in that very spot where it was told them, "You are not my people," There they shall be called "Sons of the living God."

mnt@Romans:9:27 @ And in regard to Israel, Isaiah exclaims. Though the number of the sons of Israel be like the sands of the sea, it is but a remnant of those who shall be saved;

mnt@Romans:9:32 @ And why? Because they sought it not by faith, but thought to gain it by works. They stumbled at the stone of stumbling;

mnt@Romans:9:33 @ even as it is written. Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense; but he that believes on Him shall not be put to shame.

mnt@Romans:10:1 @ Brothers, the longing of my heart and my prayer to God is for my countrymen, that they may be saved.

mnt@Romans:10:3 @ For because they were ignorant of Gods righteousness, and sought to establish their own righteousness, they did not submit themselves to the righteousness of God.

mnt@Romans:10:4 @ For to every believer Christ is an end of law as a means of righteousness.

mnt@Romans:10:6 @ But the righteousness of faith speaks in this way. Say not in thine heart, "Who shall ascend to heaven?" - that is, to bring Christ down;

mnt@Romans:10:7 @ Nor,"who shall descend into the abyss?" - that is, to bring Christ up from the dead.

mnt@Romans:10:10 @ For with the heart man believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

mnt@Romans:10:11 @ The Scriptures say, Whoever believes in Him will not be put to shame.

mnt@Romans:10:12 @ For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile, because the same Lord Jesus is all over, and is rich unto all who call upon Him;

mnt@Romans:10:14 @ How then shall thy call upon Him in whom they do not believe? And how are they to believe in One of whom they have never heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?

mnt@Romans:10:16 @ And yet they did not all hearken to the good news; for Isaiah said, Lord, who hath believed our message?

mnt@Romans:10:18 @ But I ask, Did they fail to hear? Yes, truly, Their sound has gone out unto all the earth, And their words unto the ends of the world.

mnt@Romans:10:19 @ But I say, Did Israel not know? First Moses says. I will provoke you to jealousy with that which is no nation; Against a Gentile nation, void of understanding, will I anger you.

mnt@Romans:10:20 @ But Isaiah speaks very boldly, I was found of those who were not seeking me, I was made manifest to those who were not asking for me.

mnt@Romans:10:21 @ But to Israel he says, All day long I have been spreading out my hands unto a disobedient and contrary people.

mnt@Romans:11:4 @ But what was the answer of God to him? I have reserved for myself seven thousand who have not bowed the knee to Baal.

mnt@Romans:11:8 @ According as it is written, God has given them a spirit of slumber, Eyes that they should not see, Ears that they should not hear, unto this day.

mnt@Romans:11:9 @ As David says. Let their table be made a snare and a trap, And a stumbling-block and a recompense unto them;

mnt@Romans:11:11 @ I ask then, "Have they stumbled so as to fall?" No indeed; but by their lapse salvation has come unto Gentiles, "to provoke Israel to jealousy."

mnt@Romans:11:13 @ For to you who are Gentiles I say that since I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I glorify my ministry,

mnt@Romans:11:14 @ if by any means I might "provoke to jealousy" my kinsmen, and save some among them.

mnt@Romans:11:15 @ For if their casting out is the reconciliation of the world to God, what will their restoration be but life out of death?

mnt@Romans:11:22 @ Fix your gaze, therefore, on the goodness and the severity of God; towards those who fell, severity, but towards you, Gods goodness, if you continue stedfast in his goodness; otherwise you, too, will be cut off.

mnt@Romans:11:23 @ And they also those Jews, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in again; for God is able to graft them in again.

mnt@Romans:11:24 @ For if you were cut out of that which is by nature a mere wild olive tree, and have been grafted, contrary to nature, into a fruitful olive tree, how much more shall these, the natural branches, be regrafted into their own olive tree?

mnt@Romans:11:28 @ In relation to the gospel, the Jews are Gods enemies for your sake; but in relation to the election, they are dearly loved for their forefathers sake.

mnt@Romans:11:30 @ And as in times past you were yourselves disobedient to God, but now, thanks to their disobedience, have obtained mercy;

mnt@Romans:11:31 @ even so they also have now been disobedient, that by the mercy shown to you they also may now obtain mercy.

mnt@Romans:11:35 @ Who has first given to Him, So as to receive payment in return?

mnt@Romans:11:36 @ For of him and through him, and for him, are all things. All glory to him forever and ever! Amen.

mnt@Romans:12:1 @ I entreat you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies to Him as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God. This is your reasonable service of worship.

mnt@Romans:12:2 @ And be not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

mnt@Romans:12:3 @ For, through the grace that was given to me, I tell every man among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but so to think, as to think soberly, according to the measure of faith which God has given him.

mnt@Romans:12:6 @ But we have gifts differing according to the grace which was given to us. He that has the gift of prophecy, let him prophesy according to the proportion of his faith.

mnt@Romans:12:7 @ If it is the gift of administration, let us give ourselves to our service.

mnt@Romans:12:8 @ Let the teacher give himself to his teaching; and he who exhorts others to his exhortation. He who gives, let him do it in singleness of mind. He who rules, let him rule with diligence; and he who shows mercy must be cheerful.

mnt@Romans:12:9 @ Let love be without insincerity. Abhor what is evil; wed yourselves to what is good.

mnt@Romans:12:10 @ As for brotherly love, be tenderly affectionate one to another, in honor preferring one another.

mnt@Romans:12:13 @ Be liberal to needy saints. Practise hospitality.

mnt@Romans:12:14 @ Bless your persecutors, bless, and curse not.

mnt@Romans:12:17 @ Do not pay back evil for evil. Aim to do what is honorable in the eyes of all.

mnt@Romans:13:3 @ For rulers are no terror to good deeds, but to evil. Would you be fearless of the rulers authority? Do what is good, and you will have his praise.

mnt@Romans:13:4 @ For the ruler is Gods minister appointed for your good. But if you are a wrong-doer, be afraid; he does not carry the sword to no purpose; he is Gods servant, appointed to vengeance upon the guilty.

mnt@Romans:13:6 @ This too, is the reason why you pay taxes; because the authorities are ministers of Gods service, attending continually upon this very thing.

mnt@Romans:13:7 @ Render to all their dues; taxes to whom taxes, customs to whom customs, respect to whom respect, and homage to whom homage is due.

mnt@Romans:13:11 @ Carry out these injunctions because you know the crisis that we are in, that now it is high time for you to awake out of sleep; for now is our salvation nearer than when we first believed.

mnt@Romans:14:2 @ One man has faith to eat anything; but he whose faith is weak, eats only vegetables.

mnt@Romans:14:4 @ Who are you just that judges the household-servant of another? To his own lord he stands or falls. And stand he will, for his Master has power to make him stand.

mnt@Romans:14:6 @ He who regards the day, regards it unto his Lord; and he who regards it not, disregards it unto his Lord. He who eats meat, eats unto his Lord, for he gives God thanks; and he who abstains, abstains unto his Lord, since he, too, gives God thanks.

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

mnt@Romans:14:8 @ If we live, we live unto our Lord; if we die, we die unto our Lord. So then, whether we live or die, we belong to our Lord.

mnt@Romans:14:11 @ For it is written, "As I live," says the Lord, "to me every knee shall bow, And to God shall every tongue confess."

mnt@Romans:14:12 @ So then each one of us shall give account of himself to God.

mnt@Romans:14:18 @ Those who are slaving for Christ devotedly in these ways, are well pleasing to God and highly commended by man.

mnt@Romans:14:21 @ The right course is not to eat meat, nor to drink wine, nor to do anything through which your brother is made to stumble.

mnt@Romans:14:22 @ Have you faith? Keep it to yourself as in the presence of God. He is a happy man who does not condemn himself in that which he approves.

mnt@Romans:15:1 @ Now we who are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to seek our own pleasure.

mnt@Romans:15:2 @ Let each one of us try to make his neighbor happy for his good, unto his upbuilding.

mnt@Romans:15:5 @ Now the God of patience and of comfort grant you to be in full sympathy with one another, in accordance with the example of Jesus Christ;

mnt@Romans:15:7 @ Wherefore always receive one another into fellowship, to the glory of God, even as Christ also received you.

mnt@Romans:15:8 @ For I say that Christ has been made a minister of the Circumcision the people of Israel, in vindication of Gods truth, so that he may confirm the promises given to our forefathers;

mnt@Romans:15:9 @ and so that the Gentiles also should praise God for his mercy, as it is written, Therefore I will offer praise to thee among the Gentiles, And sing to thy name.

mnt@Romans:15:11 @ Or again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles, And let all the people extol him.

mnt@Romans:15:12 @ Or again, as Isaiah says. There shall be the root of Jesse, And he that arises to rule over the Gentiles; On him shall the Gentiles hope.

mnt@Romans:15:14 @ And I myself also am confident regarding you, my brothers, that you yourselves are already full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, and well able to give advice to one another.

mnt@Romans:15:15 @ Still I have written unto you the more boldly, in part, by way of reminding you, because of that gift of grace which God bestowed upon me, in making me a priest of Jesus Christ unto the Gentiles.

mnt@Romans:15:18 @ For I will not dare to speak of any thing except that which Christ has done through me to bring the Gentiles to obedience by word and deed,

mnt@Romans:15:20 @ My ambition has been, however, to preach the gospel where Christs name was not already known, so that I might not build upon another mans foundation.

mnt@Romans:15:21 @ But, as Scripture says, He shall be seen by those to whom no news about him ever came, And those who have never heard of him shall understand.

mnt@Romans:15:22 @ This is why I have been so hindered from coming to you.

mnt@Romans:15:23 @ But now, since I have no more any "opening" in these parts, and since I have longed for many years to come to you

mnt@Romans:15:24 @ whenever I go to Spain, I am hoping to see you on my way there, and to be set forward by you on my way there, and to be set forward by you on my journey thither, after I have enjoyed your company for a little while.

mnt@Romans:15:25 @ Just now I am going to Jerusalem to serve the saints.

mnt@Romans:15:26 @ For it has been the good pleasure of Macedonia and Achaia to make an offering for the poor among the saints at Jerusalem.

mnt@Romans:15:27 @ Yes, it has been made their good pleasure, and their debt, too. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual riches, they owe it to them also to minister to them the Jews in worldly goods.

mnt@Romans:15:28 @ When, therefore, I have settled this, and have secured to them the poor at Jerusalem the fruit of this collection, I shall come on by you into Spain.

mnt@Romans:15:29 @ And I know that when I come to you, I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of Christ.

mnt@Romans:15:30 @ Brothers, I beseech you, by Jesus Christ our Lord, and by the love which the Spirit gives, to help me in my struggle by your prayers to God on my behalf,

mnt@Romans:15:31 @ that I may be delivered from the disobedient in Judea; that my mission to Jerusalem may be favorably received by the saints;

mnt@Romans:15:32 @ and that I may come to you in joy, by the will of God, and find rest together with you.

mnt@Romans:16:1 @ I commend to you our sister Phoebe, who is a minister of the church at Cenchrae.

mnt@Romans:16:2 @ I beg you to give her a Christian welcome, as the saints should; and to assist her in any matter in which she may have need of you. For she herself has been made an overseer to many people, including myself.

mnt@Romans:16:4 @ who risked their own lives to save mine; who are thanked not only by me,

mnt@Romans:16:5 @ but by all the churches among the Gentiles. Salute likewise the church that meets in their home. Salute Epaenetus, my dearly beloved, the first man in Roman Asia to believe in Christ.

mnt@Romans:16:6 @ Salute Mary, who toiled terribly for you;

mnt@Romans:16:9 @ and Urbanus, my fellow toiler in Christ; and Stachys, my dear, dear friend.

mnt@Romans:16:10 @ Salute Apellas, tested and tried in Christ, and the household of Aristobulus,

mnt@Romans:16:12 @ Salute Trypheana and Tryphosa, who are ever toiling in the Lord. Salute dear Persis, who has toiled terribly in the Lords service.

mnt@Romans:16:17 @ I exhort you, brothers, to keep watch of those who are causing the divisions among you, and occasions of stumbling, contrary to the teaching which you have learned.

mnt@Romans:16:18 @ Turn away from them. For men of that stamp are not the slaves of Christ, but are slaves to their own appetites. By their smooth and fair speech they beguile the hearts of the innocent.

mnt@Romans:16:19 @ I say this, for the tidings of your obedience have been told throughout the world. On your own behalf, then, I rejoice; but I want you to be wise unto the good, but innocents in evil.

mnt@Romans:16:25 @ Now I commend you to Him who is able to keep you stedfast, according to my gospel, and the proclamation of Jesus Christ, whereby is unveiled the secret truth which was kept secret through immemorial ages,

mnt@Romans:16:26 @ but now has been brought to light, and by command of the eternal God made known to the Gentiles by the scriptures of the Prophets, so that the Gentiles might hold obedience of the faith.

mnt@Romans:16:27 @ Unto Him, the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, be glory forever. Amen.

mnt@1Corinthians:1:1 @ Paul, called by the will of God to be an apostle of Jesus Christ, and Sosthenes, his brother.

mnt@1Corinthians:1:2 @ to the Church of God at Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, together with all, wherever they are, who call upon the name of the Lord Jesus.

mnt@1Corinthians:1:3 @ Grace to you, and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

mnt@1Corinthians:1:4 @ I am always thanking God on your behalf, for the grace of God bestowed on you in Christ Jesus;

mnt@1Corinthians:1:8 @ He will also keep you perfectly stedfast unto the end, so that you will be unreprovable in the Day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

mnt@1Corinthians:1:9 @ Faithful is the God by whom you were called into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

mnt@1Corinthians:1:10 @ Now I beg you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to speak in accord, all of you, and to have no divisions among you, but to be knit together in a common mind and temper.

mnt@1Corinthians:1:11 @ For it has been plainly told me concerning you, my brothers, by Chloes people, that there are dissensions among you.

mnt@1Corinthians:1:13 @ Has Christ been divided? Paul, was he crucified for you? or was it into the name of Paul that you were baptized?

mnt@1Corinthians:1:14 @ I am thankful to God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius,

mnt@1Corinthians:1:17 @ For Christ did not think I baptized any one else. For Christ did not send me forth to baptize, but to proclaim the gospel; and that not in philosophic words, lest the Cross of Christ should be made an empty thing.

mnt@1Corinthians:1:18 @ For the message of the Cross is indeed for those on their way to destruction, foolishness; but for us who are on our way to salvation it is the power of God.

mnt@1Corinthians:1:21 @ For when, in the wisdom of God, the world by its philosophy knew not God, the world by its philosophy knew not God, it pleased God, by the foolishness of preaching, to save those who believe.

mnt@1Corinthians:1:22 @ Jews continue to ask for miracles and Greeks are ever wanting philosophy,

mnt@1Corinthians:1:23 @ but we come preaching a crucified Messiah - to Jews a stumbling- block, to Greeks foolishness,

mnt@1Corinthians:1:24 @ but to those who are the called, whether Jews or Greeks, Christ, the power of God and the wisdom of God.

mnt@1Corinthians:1:27 @ No, God has chosen the worlds folly to confound its philosophy; and the worlds weakness to confound its strength.

mnt@1Corinthians:1:28 @ The worlds base things has God chosen, and the things that are not, to bring to naught the things that are;

mnt@1Corinthians:1:30 @ It is of him that you are in Christ Jesus, whom God made unto us wisdom and righteousness and sanctification and redemption,

mnt@1Corinthians:2:1 @ And when I came to you, brothers, I came not to proclaim Gods great secret purpose in fine language of philosophy;

mnt@1Corinthians:2:2 @ for I determined to know nothing, while among you, but Jesus as Christ, and him a crucified Christ.

mnt@1Corinthians:2:6 @ Notwithstanding, among those who are mature I do teach philosophy; though not the philosophy of the present age, nor of its rulers who are coming to nought.

mnt@1Corinthians:2:7 @ No, it is Gods wisdom that I utter, that hidden wisdom which God had decreed before the world began, unto our glory.

mnt@1Corinthians:2:9 @ Nay, as it is written. Eye has not seen, Nor ear heard, Neither have entered into mans heart The things which God has prepared For those who love him.

mnt@1Corinthians:2:10 @ Yet God has unveiled them to us by his Spirit. For the Spirit fathoms everything, even the abysmal depths of God.

mnt@1Corinthians:2:13 @ Of these high themes we speak in words not taught by human philosophy, but by the Spirit; interpreting spiritual things to spiritual men.

mnt@1Corinthians:3:1 @ As for me, brothers, I could not talk to you as spiritual men, but as to creatures of flesh, mere babes in Christ.

mnt@1Corinthians:3:2 @ I fed you milk, not meat; for you were unable to bear it.

mnt@1Corinthians:3:8 @ Now, though he who plants and he who waters are one, each will receive his own reward, according to his own service.

mnt@1Corinthians:3:10 @ According to the grace of God vouchsafed me, like a skillful master- builder, I have laid a foundation; but another will be building upon it. Let each take heed how he builds on it.

mnt@1Corinthians:3:12 @ On that foundation, if a man proceeds to build gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble, each mans work will be made manifest.

mnt@1Corinthians:3:22 @ Paul, Apollos, Cephas, the world, life, death, things present or things to come; all things are yours;

mnt@1Corinthians:4:3 @ But to me it matters very little that I am judged by you, or by any earthly court.

mnt@1Corinthians:4:5 @ So make no hasty judgment until the Lord come, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make plain the purpose of mens hearts. Then each mans due praise will come to him from God.

mnt@1Corinthians:4:6 @ Now these things, brothers, I have applied in a figure to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that in us you might learn not to go beyond what is written; that none of you be puffed up for the one, against the other.

mnt@1Corinthians:4:9 @ But it seems to me that God has exhibited us apostles, last of all, like men doomed to death; for we are made a spectacle to the whole world, both to men and to angels.

mnt@1Corinthians:4:11 @ Even to his very hour we are enduring hunger and thirst and nakedness and blows.

mnt@1Corinthians:4:12 @ Homeless men, we toil, working with our own hands.

mnt@1Corinthians:4:13 @ When reviled, we bless; when persecuted, we endure; when defamed, we conciliate. We have been made, as it were, scum-o-the-earth, the very refuse of the world, to this very hour!

mnt@1Corinthians:4:14 @ I am not writing this to shame you, but to admonish you, as my beloved children.

mnt@1Corinthians:4:15 @ For though you have ten thousand tutors in Christ Jesus, you can have but one father. For in Christ Jesus I begot you through the gospel.

mnt@1Corinthians:4:16 @ I beg you then to imitate my example.

mnt@1Corinthians:4:17 @ With this in mind I have sent Timothy to you. He is my dear and faithful son in the Lord, who will remind you of my ways in Christ; the manner in which I ever teach everywhere in every church.

mnt@1Corinthians:4:18 @ Now some are puffed up, as though I were not coming to you.

mnt@1Corinthians:4:19 @ But come to you I will, and that soon, if it please the Lord, and then I shall learn not the talk of these boasters, but their power.

mnt@1Corinthians:4:21 @ Which do you want? Am I to come to you with a rod, or in a loving and tender spirit?

mnt@1Corinthians:5:4 @ When you are gathered together, and my spirit is with you together with the power of our Lord Jesus,

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

mnt@1Corinthians:5:9 @ I told you in my letter not to associate with the immoral.

mnt@1Corinthians:5:10 @ Not that in this world you were actually to have no contact with the immoral, the avaricious, the thievish, or with idolaters; for then you would have to leave the world, altogether.

mnt@1Corinthians:5:11 @ But what I wrote was that you were not to associate with any so- called brother who is immoral, or avaricious, or idolatrous, or abusive, or a drunkard, or an extortioner. No, with such persons do not even sit at table.

mnt@1Corinthians:5:12 @ What have I to do with the judging of outsiders? Must not you judge those who are within the church, while God judges outsiders?

mnt@1Corinthians:6:1 @ Dare any one of you who has a grievance against his neighbor go to law before heathen judges, instead of before the saints?

mnt@1Corinthians:6:2 @ Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is to be tried by you, are you unfit to try such trifling cases?

mnt@1Corinthians:6:3 @ Do you not know that we are to try angels? How much more, then, the affairs of life.

mnt@1Corinthians:6:4 @ Why then, if you have cases relating to earthly affairs which need to be decided, is it men who are absolutely nothing in the church whom you make your judges?

mnt@1Corinthians:6:5 @ I say this to shame you. Is it so that there is not among you a single wise man, capable of deciding between a man and his brother?

mnt@1Corinthians:6:6 @ Must brother go to law with brother, and that, too, before unbelievers?

mnt@1Corinthians:6:7 @ Indeed, to say nothing more, the fact that you have lawsuits with one another is altogether a defect in you. Why not rather suffer injustice? Why not rather endure being cheated?

mnt@1Corinthians:6:10 @ or thieves, or avaricious men, or drunkards, or foul-mouthed men, or extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.

mnt@1Corinthians:6:13 @ "Food is meant for the stomach, and the stomach for food"? Yes, but God will soon put an end both to the one and to the other. The body, however, exists not for immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body;

mnt@1Corinthians:6:16 @ Do you not know that he who joins himself to a harlot is one with her in body? (For God says, The two shall become one flesh.)

mnt@1Corinthians:7:1 @ Now concerning the question in your letter. It is well for a man to have no intercourse with a woman,

mnt@1Corinthians:7:5 @ Do not refuse one another, unless it is only temporary and by mutual consent, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again, lest through your lack of self-control Satan begin to tempt you to sin.

mnt@1Corinthians:7:8 @ But to the unmarried, and the widows, I say that it is well for them to remain as I am.

mnt@1Corinthians:7:10 @ But to those already married my commandment is - and not mine, but the Lords - that a wife is not to leave her husband;

mnt@1Corinthians:7:11 @ (or if she has already left him let her either remain as she is, or be reconciled to him), and also that a husband is not to put away his wife.

mnt@1Corinthians:7:12 @ To the rest it is I who am speaking, not the Lord. If any brother has a wife who is not a believer, if he is willing to live with her, let him not send her away.

mnt@1Corinthians:7:13 @ And a woman whose husband is not a believer, if he is willing to live with her, let her not separate from him.

mnt@1Corinthians:7:14 @ For the unbelieving husband is consecrated through union with his believing wife; and the unbelieving wife, through union with her believing husband. Otherwise your children would be unholy, but now they are consecrated to God.

mnt@1Corinthians:7:15 @ But if the unbelieving partner be determined to leave, separation let it be. In such cases the believing husband or wife is not under bondage. But it is into peace that God has called us.

mnt@1Corinthians:7:17 @ Only whatever be the lot in life to which God has assigned each one - and whatever the condition in which he was living when God called him- -in that let him continue. Such is the rule I give in all the churches.

mnt@1Corinthians:7:23 @ You have been brought with a price; do not become slaves to men.

mnt@1Corinthians:7:24 @ Where each man stood when he was called, there, brothers, let him stay, close to God.

mnt@1Corinthians:7:25 @ I have no command from the Lord to give you concerning unmarried women; but I give you my opinion, and it is that of a man who, through the Lords mercy, is deserving of your confidence.

mnt@1Corinthians:7:26 @ I think then, that in view of the time of suffering now imminent, it is best for a man to remain as he is.

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

mnt@1Corinthians:7:28 @ Yet if you do not marry, you have not done wrong; and if a girl marries, she has not done wrong. Such people, however, will have trouble in worldy affairs, and I wish to spare you.

mnt@1Corinthians:7:29 @ Indeed, brothers, the time that remains to us has been shortened; so let those who have wives live as if they had none,

mnt@1Corinthians:7:32 @ So I want you to be free from all anxieties. An unmarried man is anxious about the Lords business, how he may please the Lord;

mnt@1Corinthians:7:35 @ It is in your own interest that I say this; not that I may entangle you in a snare, but that I may help you to serve the Lord with fitting and undistracted service.

mnt@1Corinthians:7:37 @ On the other hand, he who is firm in his purpose and is under no compulsion, but is free to carry out his own wishes, and who has determined to keep his daughter unmarried, does well.

mnt@1Corinthians:7:39 @ A wife is bound to her husband during his lifetime; but if her husband dies, she is free to marry whomever she will, provided it be in the Lord.

mnt@1Corinthians:7:40 @ But she is happier, in my judgment, if she remains as she is; and I think that I, too, have the Spirit of God.

mnt@1Corinthians:8:1 @ Now in regard to food which has been offered to idols, we are sure of course that "we all have knowledge." But knowledge puffs up, while love builds up.

mnt@1Corinthians:8:2 @ If a man thinks that he already has knowledge, he does not yet truly know as he ought to know;

mnt@1Corinthians:8:4 @ Now as to eating food that has been offered to idols, we know well that an idol has no real existence in the universe, and that there is no God but One.

mnt@1Corinthians:8:7 @ But that "knowledge" is not possessed by all; but some, accustomed until now to the idol, eat food as that which has actually been offered to an idol, and so their conscience, being still weak, is defiled.

mnt@1Corinthians:8:8 @ Now food does not bring us nearness to God. Neither if we eat do we gain any advantage, nor if we eat not, do we lose any.

mnt@1Corinthians:8:9 @ But see to it lest this right of yours become a stumbling-block to the weak.

mnt@1Corinthians:8:10 @ For if any one should see you, the possessor of "knowledge," reclining at table in an idols temple, would not his conscience, if he were weak, be emboldened to eat things sacrificed to idols?

mnt@1Corinthians:8:13 @ Therefore, if what I eat makes my brother to stumble, I will never eat meat again, lest I make my brother to stumble.

mnt@1Corinthians:9:2 @ Even if I am not an apostle to others, to you at least I am; for you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.

mnt@1Corinthians:9:3 @ This is my reply to my critics.

mnt@1Corinthians:9:4 @ Have I no right to claim food and drink?

mnt@1Corinthians:9:5 @ Have I no right to take a believing wife with me on my journey, as the rest of the apostles and the Lords brothers and Peter do?

mnt@1Corinthians:9:6 @ Are we the only ones, Barnabas and I, who have no right to give up manual labor?

mnt@1Corinthians:9:10 @ Is it the oxen that God is thinking about, or is it really said for our sakes? It was written for us; because the plowman ought to plow in hope, and the thresher in hope of getting a share of the crop.

mnt@1Corinthians:9:15 @ But for my part, I have never availed myself of any of these rights. I do not say this to bring it about in my own case. I would rather die than let any one make void this boast of mine.

mnt@1Corinthians:9:20 @ To the Jews I am become like a Jew, that I may win Jews; to those under the Law, like one under the Law, though I am not under the Law, myself;

mnt@1Corinthians:9:21 @ to those outside the Law, as one outside the Law, to win those outside the Law (though I am not outside the law of God, but inside the law of Christ).

mnt@1Corinthians:9:22 @ I am become weak to the weak, to win the weak. I am become all these things to all men that, by any and by all means, I may save some.

mnt@1Corinthians:9:25 @ Every man who contends in the games continually trains himself by all manner of self-restraint. Now they do it to get a fading garland, but we, one that is unfading.

mnt@1Corinthians:9:26 @ For my part, then, I run with no wavering to the goal. I box not as one beating the air,

mnt@1Corinthians:9:27 @ but I bruise my body and keep it in subjection, lest having called others to the contest, I should myself be disqualified.

mnt@1Corinthians:10:2 @ and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea.

mnt@1Corinthians:10:7 @ And you must not be idolaters like some of them. as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, And they rose up for idol dances.

mnt@1Corinthians:10:11 @ Now these things were happening to them typically, but were written down for our admonition who stand at the meeting of the ages.

mnt@1Corinthians:10:13 @ No temptation has overtaken you that is beyond mans power; but God is faithful, who will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear, but will, with every temptation, provide the way of escape also, so that you may be able to withstand.

mnt@1Corinthians:10:15 @ I am speaking to men of sense; do you yourselves judge what I say.

mnt@1Corinthians:10:18 @ Look at Israel according to the flesh; are not those who eat the sacrifices in communion with the altar?

mnt@1Corinthians:10:19 @ What then shall we say? that an offering to an idol is anything? or that an idol is really anything?

mnt@1Corinthians:10:20 @ On the contrary, what the heathen sacrifice they sacrifice to demons and not to God, and I do not want you to have communion with demons.

mnt@1Corinthians:10:22 @ What! would we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he?

mnt@1Corinthians:10:27 @ If one who is not a believer invites you to his house, and you wish to go, eat everything that is set before you, without asking questions for conscience sake.

mnt@1Corinthians:10:28 @ But if any one tells you, "This food has been offered in sacrifice," do not eat it, for the sake of him who told you,

mnt@1Corinthians:10:31 @ Because whether you are eating or whether you are drinking, you are to do it all for the glory of God.

mnt@1Corinthians:10:32 @ Do not be a cause of stumbling either to Jews of to Gentiles, or to the church of God.

mnt@1Corinthians:10:33 @ For so I also try to please all men in every way, not by seeking my own good, but the good of the many, that they may be saved.

mnt@1Corinthians:11:1 @ Be imitators of me, as I am an imitator of Christ.

mnt@1Corinthians:11:2 @ Indeed I praise you for remembering me in everything, and because you are holding fast to the traditions just as you received them.

mnt@1Corinthians:11:3 @ But I wish you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, and of a wife her husband is head; and that God is head of Christ.

mnt@1Corinthians:11:6 @ If a woman does not wear a veil, let her also cut off her hair; now if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, let her be veiled.

mnt@1Corinthians:11:7 @ A man, indeed, ought not to have his head veiled, for he is an image and glory of God; but woman is a glory of man.

mnt@1Corinthians:11:10 @ For this reason the woman ought to have authority over her head, because of her guardian angels.

mnt@1Corinthians:11:13 @ Judge of this for your own selves. It is fitting that a woman should pray to God with her head unveiled.

mnt@1Corinthians:11:14 @ Nor does nature itself teach you that it is a disgrace to a man to have long hair,

mnt@1Corinthians:11:16 @ If, however, any one is inclined to be disputatious regarding such a custom, let him know that neither I nor the churches of God hold to such a custom.

mnt@1Corinthians:11:18 @ To begin with, I am told - and I believe there is some truth in it - that when you meet at a church there are divisions among you.

mnt@1Corinthians:11:20 @ Again, when you meet together, there is no true eating of the Lords Supper;

mnt@1Corinthians:11:21 @ for each one of you begins to eat his own supper; one goes hungry, while another gets drunk.

mnt@1Corinthians:11:22 @ What! Have you no houses in which to eat or drink? or do you wish to show your contempt for the church of God, and to shame those who have no homes to eat in? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you? In this I certainly do not praise you.

mnt@1Corinthians:11:23 @ For I passed on to you the account, which I myself received from the Lord; how the Lord Jesus, on the very night he was betrayed, took bread,

mnt@1Corinthians:11:25 @ In the same way also, he took the cup after supper, saying. "This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in memory of me."

mnt@1Corinthians:11:29 @ For whoever eats and drinks without discerning the body, eats and drinks condemnation to himself.

mnt@1Corinthians:11:33 @ So, my brothers, whenever you come together for this meal, wait for one another.

mnt@1Corinthians:12:1 @ Now concerning spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not wish you to be ignorant.

mnt@1Corinthians:12:3 @ Wherefore I want you to understand that no one who speaks in the Spirit of God says, "Jesus is accursed," and no one can say, "Jesus is Lord," except in the Holy Spirit.

mnt@1Corinthians:12:7 @ Now to each man has been given his manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.

mnt@1Corinthians:12:8 @ For to one man by the Spirit has been given a word of wisdom, to another a word of insight by the same Spirit;

mnt@1Corinthians:12:9 @ to one man by the same Spirit is given faith, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit;

mnt@1Corinthians:12:10 @ to another the powers which work miracles, to another prophecy, to another the discernment of spirits; to another varieties of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues.

mnt@1Corinthians:12:11 @ But the one and the same Spirit gives power to all, distributing his gifts to each as he wills.

mnt@1Corinthians:12:13 @ And we can see this, for in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jew or Gentile, whether slave or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit.

mnt@1Corinthians:12:21 @ And the eye cannot say to the hand, "I have no need of you". nor again of head to the feet, "I have no need for you."

mnt@1Corinthians:12:22 @ On the contrary, we need those members of the body which seem to be weaker;

mnt@1Corinthians:12:23 @ upon those parts of the body which we esteem less honorable, we bestow more abundant honor, and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness.

mnt@1Corinthians:12:24 @ For whereas our comely parts have no need, God has tempered the body together, giving more abundant honor to that member in which lacked;

mnt@1Corinthians:12:28 @ And God has appointed those in the church to be first of all apostles, second, prophets, third, teachers. then workers of miracles, healers, helpers, administrators, users of various kinds of "tongues."

mnt@1Corinthians:12:30 @ Have all gifts of healing? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret?

mnt@1Corinthians:12:31 @ Desire earnestly the greater gifts. And yet I will go on to show you a still more excellent way.

mnt@1Corinthians:13:1 @ Though I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have no love, I am become a clanging brass, or a clashing cymbal.

mnt@1Corinthians:13:3 @ And though I sell all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it avails me nothing.

mnt@1Corinthians:13:7 @ It knows how to be silent, it is trustful, hopeful, patient, enduring.

mnt@1Corinthians:13:8 @ Love never fails; but though there are prophecies, they will fail; though there are tongues, they will cease; though there is knowledge, it will be superseded.

mnt@1Corinthians:13:12 @ For now we see as in a mirror, and are baffled, but then face to face; now I know in fragments, but then shall I understand even as I also have been understood.

mnt@1Corinthians:14:2 @ For he who speaks in a "tongue" speaks not to man but to God, for no one understands him, but in the Spirit he utters secret truths.

mnt@1Corinthians:14:3 @ But he who prophesies addresses words to men that build up, encourage, and console.

mnt@1Corinthians:14:4 @ He who speaks in a tongue upbuilds himself; but he who prophesies upbuilds the church.

mnt@1Corinthians:14:5 @ Now I should like you all to speak with "tongues"; but I should rather that you prophesied, For he who prophesies is greater than he who speaks with tongues, unless he interprets, so that the church may be built up.

mnt@1Corinthians:14:6 @ Now brothers, if I should come to you speaking with tongues, what should I benefit you, unless I speak to you some revelation, or knowledge, or prophecy, or teaching?

mnt@1Corinthians:14:9 @ In the same way with you, if you utter unintelligible words with your tongue, how can what you say be understood? You will be speaking to the winds!

mnt@1Corinthians:14:11 @ If then I do not know the force of expression, I shall seem a barbarian to the one who uses it, and he will seem a barbarian to me.

mnt@1Corinthians:14:12 @ So also in your case, since you are ambitious for spiritual gifts, seek to excel in them for the upbuilding of the church.

mnt@1Corinthians:14:13 @ So let him who speaks with tongues pray that he may interpret.

mnt@1Corinthians:14:14 @ For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is barren.

mnt@1Corinthians:14:16 @ For if you in your spirit bless God, how shall he who fills the place of the unlearned say the Amen to your thanksgiving, when he does not know what you are talking about?

mnt@1Corinthians:14:18 @ Thank God I speak with tongues more than you all,

mnt@1Corinthians:14:19 @ but in the church I would rather speak five words with my understanding, so as to instruct others, than ten thousand in an unknown tongue.

mnt@1Corinthians:14:21 @ In the Law it is written. With men of other tongues, and by the lips of strangers, will I speak to this people, and even then they will not listen to me, says the Lord.

mnt@1Corinthians:14:22 @ So then the gift of tongues is for a sign, not to believers, but to unbelievers; but prophecy is not for unbelievers, but for those who believe.

mnt@1Corinthians:14:23 @ Accordingly, when the whole church assemblies, and everybody is speaking "with tongues," if there enter men unlearned or unbelieving, will they not say that you are mad?

mnt@1Corinthians:14:26 @ What follows, then, brothers? Whenever you meet together, each contributes something; a psalm, a sermon, a revelation, a tongue, an interpretation. Let all be done for edification.

mnt@1Corinthians:14:27 @ If any one speaks in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that in turn, and let some one interpret.

mnt@1Corinthians:14:28 @ But if there is no one to interpret, let them keep silence in the church, and speak to themselves and to God.

mnt@1Corinthians:14:30 @ But if to one as he sits there some revelation is made, let the first be silent.

mnt@1Corinthians:14:32 @ The spirits of prophets are subject to prophets,

mnt@1Corinthians:14:33 @ for God is not a God of confusion, but of peace. This custom prevails in all the churches of the saints.

mnt@1Corinthians:14:34 @ "In your congregation" you write, "as in all the churches of the saints, let the women keep silence in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak. On the contrary let them be subordinate, as also says the law.

mnt@1Corinthians:14:35 @ And if they want to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home, for it is shameful for a women to speak in church."

mnt@1Corinthians:14:36 @ What, was it from you that the word of God went forth, or to you only did it come?

mnt@1Corinthians:14:39 @ So, my brothers, be ambitious for the gift of prophecy, and speak not against the gifts of tongues.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:1 @ Now I am calling to your remembrance, brothers, the gospel which I preached to you, which you also received, and on which you have taken your stand,;47 The first man is of the earth, earthly; the second Man is of heaven.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:2 @ by which also you are saved, if you are holding fast the message which I preached to you; unless indeed you have believed in vain.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:3 @ For the very first thing I taught you was that I had myself been taught, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scripture,

mnt@1Corinthians:15:4 @ that he was buried, and that he was raised the third day, according to the Scriptures,

mnt@1Corinthians:15:9 @ For I am the least of the apostles, I who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:10 @ But by the grace of God I am what I am, and that grace of his, bestowed upon me, did not prove ineffectual. I labored more abundantly than all the rest, yet not I, but by the grace of God that is with me.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:11 @ But whether it is I or they, thus do I preach, and thus you came to believe.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:21 @ For since by man came to death, by man came also the resurrection from the dead.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:23 @ But each in his own order; Christ the first-fruits, then those who belong to Christ at his appearing.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:24 @ And then the end, when he shall hand over his kingdom to God his Father, after he has abolished all rule and authority and power.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:28 @ For when everything is subjected to him, then the Son himself shall subject himself to Him who made them subject, that God may be all in all.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:30 @ Yes, and why am I myself exposed to danger every hour?

mnt@1Corinthians:15:32 @ If after the manner of men I have fought with wild beasts at Ephesus, what good does it do me? If the dead do not rise, Let us eat and drink, For we shall be dead tomorrow.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:34 @ Wake up, do justly, cease from sin; for I say to your shame that some of you have no acquaintance with God.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:36 @ Foolish man! The seed you sow does not come to life unless it dies.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:38 @ But God gives it what body he pleases, and to each kind of seed its own body.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:54 @ And when this mortal has been clothed with immortality, then will the words of Scripture come to pass, Death has been swallowed up in victory.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:55 @ Where, Death, is thy victory? Where, Death, is thy sting?

mnt@1Corinthians:15:57 @ But thanks be to God, who has given us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:58 @ So, my brothers beloved, stand firm, immovable, always abounding in work for the Lord, because you know that your toil is not fruitless in the Lord.

mnt@1Corinthians:16:1 @ Now concerning the offering for the saints, you also are to do as I directed the church of Galatia.

mnt@1Corinthians:16:2 @ On the first day of each week let each of you put aside something, keeping it in store as he may prosper, so that when I come there may be no collections going on.

mnt@1Corinthians:16:3 @ On my arrival I will send those whom you may accredit by letter to carry your bounty to Jerusalem.

mnt@1Corinthians:16:4 @ And if it is worth while for me to go too, they will accompany me.

mnt@1Corinthians:16:5 @ Now I shall come to you after I have gone through Macedonia.

mnt@1Corinthians:16:7 @ For I do not wish at this present time to see you merely in passing; but if the Lord permits, I hope to remain some time with you.

mnt@1Corinthians:16:9 @ for a door has opened to me, great and effectual, and the opponents are many.

mnt@1Corinthians:16:10 @ If Timothy come, see to it that he is among you without trepidation; for he is doing the Lords work, as I am, so let no one disparage him.

mnt@1Corinthians:16:11 @ Whenever he comes to me, send him on his way in peace, for I am expecting him with the other brothers.

mnt@1Corinthians:16:12 @ As for our Apollos, I have many times urged him to go to you with the others, but he was always unwilling to go to you at this time. He will come, however, whenever he has a good opportunity.

mnt@1Corinthians:16:15 @ I beg you this, my brothers - you know the household of Stephanus, that they were the first-fruits of Achaia, and that they devoted themselves to the service of the saints -

mnt@1Corinthians:16:16 @ so I want you also to show deference to such, and to every fellow worker, and laborer.

mnt@2Corinthians:1:1 @ To the Church of God which is in Corinth, and to all the saints throughout Greece. from Paul, by Gods will an apostle of Christ, and from brother Timothy.

mnt@2Corinthians:1:2 @ Grace to you and peace from God our Father in the Lord Jesus Christ.

mnt@2Corinthians:1:3 @ Thanks be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort,

mnt@2Corinthians:1:4 @ who ever comforts me in all my troubles, so that I may be continually able to comfort those who are in any trouble by the comfort with which God is ever comforting me.

mnt@2Corinthians:1:8 @ Now, brothers, I want you to know about the troubles which befell me in Asia; how I was burdened altogether beyond my strength, so that I renounced all hope even of life itself.

mnt@2Corinthians:1:9 @ Indeed, I had in myself, and still have, the sentence of death, in order that I might not rely on myself, but on God who raises the dead to life.

mnt@2Corinthians:1:10 @ He delivered me from such a death, and will deliver me. On him I have set my hopes that he will continue to deliver me,

mnt@2Corinthians:1:11 @ while all of you also are helping me by your prayers; so that from many lips thanksgiving may rise on my behalf for the blessings vouchsafed to me through the intercessions of many.

mnt@2Corinthians:1:13 @ For I am writing to you nothing different from what you read aloud and very well recognize, and I hope will continue to recognize to the very end,

mnt@2Corinthians:1:15 @ And in this confidence I intended to visit you, before going elsewhere, that you might have a pleasure twice over.

mnt@2Corinthians:1:16 @ I intended to go by you into Macedonia, and to come again to you from Macedonia, and by you to be sent forward on my way to Judea.

mnt@2Corinthians:1:18 @ As God is faithful, my message to you is not now "Yes," now "No."

mnt@2Corinthians:1:20 @ For however many are the promises of God, in him they are "Yes." Therefore also through him let the Amen be said by our voices to the glory of God.

mnt@2Corinthians:1:23 @ But for my part I call God to witness, as my soul shall answer for it, that it was to spare you that I came not to Corinth

mnt@2Corinthians:1:24 @ (not that I am attempting to lord it over your faith, but rather to work with you for your happiness); for your faith is stedfast.

mnt@2Corinthians:2:2 @ for if I cause you grief, who is there to cause me joy except those whom I have grieved?

mnt@2Corinthians:2:3 @ And for this very reason I wrote you, that I might not come only to be grieved by those who ought to give me joy; and because I trusted in you all, that my joy is the joy of all of you.

mnt@2Corinthians:2:4 @ For I wrote to you out of much affliction and anguish of heart, through many tears; not to pain you, but to convince you of my love, my abundant love for you.

mnt@2Corinthians:2:5 @ As to him who has been, and now is, causing pain, it is not I whom he has pained, but all of you - at least some of you (not to overstate the case).

mnt@2Corinthians:2:7 @ so that now you ought rather to forgive and comfort him, lest he should be overwhelmed by the excess of his grief.

mnt@2Corinthians:2:8 @ So I beg you to reinstate him in your love.

mnt@2Corinthians:2:9 @ For this very purpose also I wrote you (before), that I might test you, to see if you were obedient in every respect.

mnt@2Corinthians:2:10 @ If you forgive the man, I forgive him, too; for whatever I have forgiven has been forgiven in the presence of Christ,

mnt@2Corinthians:2:12 @ Now when I came to Troas to preach the gospel of Christ, although a door was opened to me in the Lord,

mnt@2Corinthians:2:13 @ I could get no peace of mind because I failed to find Titus, my brother. So I bade them good-bye and started off for Macedonia.

mnt@2Corinthians:2:14 @ But thanks be to God, who in every place is leading me in the train of Christs triumph, and is making manifest through me the knowledge of him, an odor of incense everywhere.

mnt@2Corinthians:2:15 @ I am Christs fragrance upwafted unto God, among those who are being saved and those who are perishing;

mnt@2Corinthians:2:16 @ to these latter an odor of death to death, to the former, of life to life. For such service as this, who is sufficient?

mnt@2Corinthians:3:1 @ Am I beginning again to "recommend" myself? Or do I need, as some do, letters of commendation either to you or from you?

mnt@2Corinthians:3:3 @ Since all can see that you are a letter of Christ transcribed by men, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone, but on human hearts as tablets.

mnt@2Corinthians:3:5 @ Not that I am sufficient in myself to reach any conclusion in my own wisdom; but my sufficiency is from God.

mnt@2Corinthians:3:7 @ If, however, the administration of death, written with letters and engraved on stones, began in glory, so that the children of Israel could not gaze steadily on the face of Moses, because of the glory of his face - a glory even then fading -

mnt@2Corinthians:3:13 @ I do not do as Moses did, who used to cover his face with a veil to keep the children of Israel from beholding the passing of a fading glory.

mnt@2Corinthians:3:14 @ Nay, their minds were made dull; for to this very day, at the public reading of the Old Testament, the same veil rests thereon, because it is not revealed to them that in Christ the veil is taken away.

mnt@2Corinthians:3:15 @ Yes, to this very day, whenever Moses is read, a veil lies on their hearts;

mnt@2Corinthians:3:16 @ but when their heart turns to our Lord the veil is stripped away.

mnt@2Corinthians:3:18 @ And we all, with unveiled faces, reflecting like a mirror the glory of the Lord, are ourselves continually being transformed into the same likeness, from glory to glory, as by the Lord, the Spirit.

mnt@2Corinthians:4:1 @ So then, as I have this ministry because of Gods mercy to me, I do not lose heart.

mnt@2Corinthians:4:2 @ I have renounced the hidden things of shame, not spending my life in craftiness, nor adulterating the word of God; but setting forth the truth openly, I strive to commend myself to every mans conscience as in the sight of God.

mnt@2Corinthians:4:3 @ But even if my gospel, too, is "veiled," it is among those who are on the way to perish that it is "veiled."

mnt@2Corinthians:4:11 @ For, alive though I am, I am always given over to death for the sake of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may shine forth in my dying flesh.

mnt@2Corinthians:4:15 @ For everything is for your sakes, so that more abundant grace, because of the thanksgiving of many voices, might overflow to the glory of God.

mnt@2Corinthians:5:2 @ For in this tent I am groaning, earnestly longing to be under the cover of my heavenly habitation; if so be that being so covered,

mnt@2Corinthians:5:4 @ For in this tent of mine I am groaning in deep trouble; not that I wish to be unclothed, but to be clothed upon, that what is mortal may be swallowed up in life.

mnt@2Corinthians:5:8 @ So I have good courage, and am well pleased rather, to be in banishment from the body and to be at home with the Lord.

mnt@2Corinthians:5:10 @ For we must all be made manifest, in our true characters, before the Judgment-seat of Christ; so that each one may receive according to that which he has done in his body, whether good or evil.

mnt@2Corinthians:5:11 @ So, because I know the fear of God, I "persuade men." What I am is manifest to God, and I hope manifest also to your conscience.

mnt@2Corinthians:5:12 @ I am not "commending myself to you again," but I am giving you an occasion of boasting on my behalf, so that you may have an answer ready for those who boast in externals, and not in the heart.

mnt@2Corinthians:5:13 @ For if I was "beside myself," it was to God; of if I am now "of sound mind," it is for you.

mnt@2Corinthians:5:18 @ And all this is from God, who through Christ reconciled me to himself, and gave me the ministry of reconciliation;

mnt@2Corinthians:5:19 @ how that God was in Christ reconciling a world to himself, not reckoning to men their trespasses; and that to me he has entrusted the message of that reconciliation.

mnt@2Corinthians:5:20 @ On Christs behalf, then, I come as ambassador. It is as though God was entreating you, through me, on Christs behalf I beg you to be reconciled to God.

mnt@2Corinthians:5:21 @ Him who knew no sin, in our behalf he has made to be sin; so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

mnt@2Corinthians:6:1 @ As a worker with him I beseech you not to receive the grace of God in vain.

mnt@2Corinthians:6:4 @ but in every way I am striving to commend myself as Gods minister by stedfast endurance, by afflictions, by troubles, by distresses,

mnt@2Corinthians:6:9 @ as unknown and yet well known; as at deaths door, yet, strange to tell, I live on; as chastened, but not killed;

mnt@2Corinthians:6:11 @ O Corinthians, I am unsealing my lips to you; my heart is wide open to you.

mnt@2Corinthians:6:13 @ I pray you, therefore, in fair exchange (I speak as to my children), let your hearts also be wide open to me.

mnt@2Corinthians:6:17 @ Therefore, Come out from among them and separate yourselves, saith the Lord, touch not what is unclean;

mnt@2Corinthians:6:18 @ then I will receive you and will be to you a Father, and you shall be to me sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

mnt@2Corinthians:7:3 @ I am not saying this to blame you, for as I have already said, I hold you in my heart to live together and to die together.

mnt@2Corinthians:7:7 @ and not alone by his coming, but also by the comfort you had been to him. For he told me of your eager longing, of your penitence, and of your zeal on my behalf, so that I was happier still.

mnt@2Corinthians:7:9 @ But now I am glad; not because you were pained; but because your pain led you to repentance.

mnt@2Corinthians:7:10 @ For your pain came from God, and so you took no harm from me. For the pain which is from God works repentance leading to salvation, a repentance never to be regretted. But the worlds pain works death.

mnt@2Corinthians:7:12 @ So then, even if I did write to you, it was not for the sake of the wrong-doer, or of him who had been wronged, but to make clear to yourselves in the sight of God your earnest care for me.

mnt@2Corinthians:7:13 @ This is what comforts me. In addition to this comfort of mine, I have been made still happier by the happiness of Titus; because his spirit was refreshed by you all.

mnt@2Corinthians:7:14 @ Although I have been boasting a little to him about you, I have not been put to shame. But as in every matter I have spoken the truth to you, so also my boast to Titus has been proved to be the truth.

mnt@2Corinthians:7:15 @ And his tender affection is all the greater toward you, when he calls to mind the obedience of you all, and the fear and trembling with which you received him.

mnt@2Corinthians:8:1 @ Now, brothers, I wish to tell you about the grace of God which has been manifest in the churches of Macedonia.

mnt@2Corinthians:8:2 @ For although in heavy trial of affliction, their overbrimming happiness, even in spite of their deep poverty, abounded to the opulence of their unselfishness.

mnt@2Corinthians:8:3 @ For I can testify that according to their ability, and even beyond their ability, of their own free will, too, they have given help.

mnt@2Corinthians:8:4 @ With earnest entreaty they craved of me the privilege of a share in ministering to the saints in Jerusalem.

mnt@2Corinthians:8:5 @ And this not as I had expected, but in accordance with the will of God, they first gave themselves to God and to me.

mnt@2Corinthians:8:6 @ With the result that I have been begging Titus that, as he had been the one to begin the work with you, so he should complete among you this grace also.

mnt@2Corinthians:8:7 @ Now then, as you excel in everything, in faith and utterance and knowledge and all zeal and in your love to me, see to it that you excel in this grace also.

mnt@2Corinthians:8:8 @ I do not say this by way of command, but by the zeal of others I am trying to prove the reality of your love.

mnt@2Corinthians:8:10 @ And I will give you my opinion in this matter; for this offering is fitting in your case, considering that you made a beginning before others, not only in the willingness to do something but also in actually doing something a year ago.

mnt@2Corinthians:8:11 @ So now complete the doing of it also, in order that just as there was the readiness to will, so there may be the accomplishment according to your means.

mnt@2Corinthians:8:12 @ For if there be first willing mind, the gift is accepted according to what a man has, and not according to what he has not.

mnt@2Corinthians:8:13 @ Nor are other people to be relieved, and you to be distressed;

mnt@2Corinthians:8:14 @ but burdens are to be equalized. Now your abundance at this present time present time is a supply for their want, in supply for your want; and so burdens be equalized,

mnt@2Corinthians:8:16 @ But thanks be to God who has inspired in the heart of Titus the same zeal on your behalf that I have.

mnt@2Corinthians:8:17 @ For he not only consented to my request, but being thoroughly in earnest, comes to you of his own accord.

mnt@2Corinthians:8:19 @ More than that, he is the one chosen by the churches to accompany me on my journey, in administering this gift of yours for the Lords glory. And this has my full consent,

mnt@2Corinthians:8:20 @ because I am on my guard in this, that no one should blame me, in respect to this bounty which I am administering.

mnt@2Corinthians:8:24 @ So show to the churches an evidence of your love, and a justification to these brothers of my boasting about you.

mnt@2Corinthians:9:1 @ It is indeed unnecessary for me to write you in regard to the ministration to the saints at Jerusalem,

mnt@2Corinthians:9:2 @ for I know how ready you are, and am always boasting about you to the Macedonians, telling them that Greece has been ready for a year past; and your zeal has been a spur to the majority of them.

mnt@2Corinthians:9:4 @ For if any Macedonians come with me and find you not ready, shame would come upon me (not to speak of you) in respect to this confidence.

mnt@2Corinthians:9:5 @ So I have thought that I must ask these brothers to visit you beforehand, and get your promised contribution ready in advance. I want it to be given of your bounty, not extorted from your covetousness.

mnt@2Corinthians:9:7 @ But let each give according to the purpose of his heart; not grudgingly of under compulsion. It is a cheerful giver that God loves.

mnt@2Corinthians:9:8 @ And God is able to give you an overflowing measure of every grace, so that all your wants of every kind may be supplied at all times, and you may give of your abundance to every good work;

mnt@2Corinthians:9:9 @ As it is written. He scattered broadcast, he gave to the poor; His almsgiving continues forever.

mnt@2Corinthians:9:10 @ He who ever supplies seed to the sower, and bread for the food of man, will supply and make plentous your seed, and increase the harvest springing up from your almsgiving.

mnt@2Corinthians:9:11 @ You yourselves will be enriched with all good things, that you may give ungrudgingly; and your gifts, of which I am the agent, will make men give thanks to God.

mnt@2Corinthians:9:12 @ Because the ministry of this contribution not only supplies the needs of the saints, but also overflows in many a thanksgiving to God.

mnt@2Corinthians:9:13 @ For this ministration proves you. On account of it men glorify God for your faithfulness to your professions of the gospel of Christ, and for the liberality of your gifts to them and to all.

mnt@2Corinthians:9:15 @ THANKS BE TO GOD FOR HIS UNSPEAKABLE GIFT!

mnt@2Corinthians:10:1 @ Now I Paul, myself, appeal to you by the humble-heartedness and selflessness of Christ - Paul who "in your presence is humble, but bold enough when he is absent" -

mnt@2Corinthians:10:5 @ For I pull down imaginations and every crag that lifts itself against the knowledge of God. And I carry every thought away into captivity and subjection to Christ;

mnt@2Corinthians:10:6 @ and I am fully prepared to punish every act of disobedience, when once your submission has been put beyond question.

mnt@2Corinthians:10:7 @ Look these facts in the face. If any man is fully persuaded as regards himself that he belongs to Christ, let him consider again with himself, that just as he is Christs, so also am I.

mnt@2Corinthians:10:8 @ If, however, I were to boast more loudly concerning the authority which the Lord gave me (not to cast you down, but to build you up), I should have no cause for shame.

mnt@2Corinthians:10:12 @ I have not indeed the audacity to class myself among, or compare myself with, certain of the self-commenders; yet they are not wise in measuring themselves by one another and in comparing themselves with one another.

mnt@2Corinthians:10:13 @ I, however, will not indulge in undue boasting, but will confine it within the limits of the sphere to which God has assigned me - a sphere which reaches even to you.

mnt@2Corinthians:10:14 @ For I am not overstepping the limits of my authority, as though I reached you not; since I have already come even as far as Corinth to proclaim the gospel of Christ.

mnt@2Corinthians:10:16 @ I may carry the gospel to countries beyond you; and not be boasting of work made ready to my hand within another mans limit.

mnt@2Corinthians:11:2 @ I have a divine jealousy on your behalf; for I betrothed you to one only husband, even to Christ, that I might present you to him, a chaste virgin.

mnt@2Corinthians:11:3 @ But I fear lest, just as the serpent beguiled Eve in his craftiness, so your minds should be seduced from your single-mindedness and purity toward Christ.

mnt@2Corinthians:11:4 @ If indeed some one is coming to preach another Jesus, whom I did not preach, or you are receiving a Spirit other than you once received, or another gospel which you did not accept before, you would do well to bear with me.

mnt@2Corinthians:11:5 @ For I reckon that I am in no respect behind your superapostolic apostles.

mnt@2Corinthians:11:6 @ Yes, though I be unskilled in speech, at least I am not in knowledge; indeed I made this perfectly plain to you in all things and among all men.

mnt@2Corinthians:11:7 @ Is it a sin, forsooth, that I humbled myself that you might be exalted, in preaching the gospel to you free of cost?

mnt@2Corinthians:11:8 @ Other churches I spoiled, and took their wages to do you service.

mnt@2Corinthians:11:9 @ Even when I lacked the actual necessities of life while I was with you, I was a burden to no one; for whatever I lacked, the brothers from Macedonia supplied, when they came. So I kept myself from being a burden to you in any way, and will continue to do so.

mnt@2Corinthians:11:10 @ As the truth of Christ is in me, this boasting of mine shall not be stopped within the boundaries of Greece!

mnt@2Corinthians:11:12 @ I am doing and will continue to do this in order to cut away the ground from under those who wish some cause for slander; and that the ground of their boasting may appear as does mine.

mnt@2Corinthians:11:15 @ It is no great marvel, then, if his ministers also disguise themselves as ministers of righteousness. Their end will be according to their works.

mnt@2Corinthians:11:16 @ I say again, let no one think me a fool. Or, if you must, at least bear with me as a fool, that I, too, may do a little boasting.

mnt@2Corinthians:11:17 @ What I am about to say I am not speaking by the Lords command, but as it were in pure folly, in this boldness of boasting.

mnt@2Corinthians:11:18 @ Since so many are making worldly boasts, I shall boast, too!

mnt@2Corinthians:11:21 @ I say that I was weak, and yet for whatever reason any one is bold (I speak in mere folly) I too am bold.

mnt@2Corinthians:11:25 @ Three times I have been scourged by the Romans; once I have been stoned; three times have I been shipwrecked; a night and a day have I been adrift in the open sea.

mnt@2Corinthians:11:27 @ in toil and weariness, often in sleepless watching, in hunger and thirst, often without anything to eat; in cold and in nakedness.

mnt@2Corinthians:11:28 @ Not to mention other things, there is the crowding pressure of each day upon me, the care of all the churches.

mnt@2Corinthians:12:1 @ I am forced to boast, though it is unprofitable, but I will go on to visions and revelations of the Lord.;18 I urged Titus to go, and with him I sent our brother. Did Titus make gain of you? And did I not walk in the same spirit as he did? Did I not take the very same steps?

mnt@2Corinthians:12:2 @ I know a Christian man who, fourteen years ago (whether in the body I know not, or out of the body, I know not. God knows), was caught up- -this man of whom I speak - even into the third heaven.

mnt@2Corinthians:12:4 @ who was caught up into Paradise, and heard unutterable words which no human being is permitted to utter.

mnt@2Corinthians:12:6 @ If I should choose to continue boasting I should not be foolish, for I should be speaking the truth. But I refrain, lest by the stupendous grandeur of the revelation any one should estimate me beyond what he sees in me, or hears from me.

mnt@2Corinthians:12:11 @ I am become a fool - you have forced me to; for you yourselves ought to have been my vindicators. In no respect am I inferior to these superapostolic apostles, even though I am nothing.

mnt@2Corinthians:12:13 @ In what respect, then, were you inferior to the other churches, except that I myself was not a burden to you? Forgive me this wrong!

mnt@2Corinthians:12:14 @ And now for the third time I am preparing to visit you. I will not be a burden to you, for I am not seeking yours, but you. For the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.

mnt@2Corinthians:12:15 @ For my part, I will most gladly spend, yea, and will myself be spent, for your souls. If I love you more abundantly, am I to be loved the less?

mnt@2Corinthians:12:16 @ But though it be granted that I was not a burden to you, yet, you say, this was my cunning with which I caught you by a trick.

mnt@2Corinthians:12:19 @ Do you think that all this time I am defending myself to you? It is before the presence of God that I am speaking in Christ; and all, beloved, for your upbuilding.

mnt@2Corinthians:12:20 @ For I dread that perhaps, when I come, I may not find you to be such as I wish, and that I may be found by you such as you do not wish; I dread lest there should be quarrels, jealousy, tempers, party spirit, slandering, gossip, arrogance, tumults;

mnt@2Corinthians:12:21 @ and lest when I come again my God may humble me before you, and lest I shall mourn for many those who have sinned before, and have not repented of the impurity and immorality and wantonness which they have practised.

mnt@2Corinthians:13:2 @ I have said formerly, and I now forewarn you as when I was present the second time, so now when I am absent the second time, so now when I am absent, saying to those who had sinned before, and to all the rest, "If I come again, I will not spare,"

mnt@2Corinthians:13:7 @ And my prayer to God is that you may do no evil; not in order that I may appear approved, but that you may do what is noble, though I should seem unable to abide the proof.

mnt@Galatians:1:7 @ for another gospel, which indeed is not another; only there are certain individuals who are troubling you, and desiring to pervert the gospel of Christ.

mnt@Galatians:1:8 @ But even though I myself or an angel from heaven were to preach any gospel other than that which I did preach to you, let him be accursed.

mnt@Galatians:1:9 @ I have said it before, and I now repeat it, if any one is preaching a gospel to you other than that which you have received, let him be accursed.

mnt@Galatians:1:10 @ Think you that I am now trying to conciliate men or God? Or am I "seeking to please men"? If I were still seeking to please men, I should not be a slave of Christ.

mnt@Galatians:1:13 @ For you have heard of my former conduct in Judaism, how furiously I used to persecute the church of God, and how I kept seeking to root it out;

mnt@Galatians:1:16 @ and had called me by his grace, was pleased to reveal his Son in me, so that I might preach his gospel among the Gentiles, without consulting a human being,

mnt@Galatians:1:17 @ or even going up to Jerusalem to see those who had been apostles before me, I went off at once to Arabia, and on my return came back to Damascus.

mnt@Galatians:1:18 @ Then three years later I went up to Jerusalem to get acquainted with Peter, and spent two weeks with him.

mnt@Galatians:1:20 @ (In what I am now writing, I call God to witness that I am telling the truth.)

mnt@Galatians:1:21 @ Then I went into the districts of Syria and Cilicia.

mnt@Galatians:1:22 @ But to the churches of Christ in Judea I was personally unknown;

mnt@Galatians:1:23 @ only they used to hear it said, "He who was once persecuting us is now preaching the gospel of the very faith which he once tried to ruin."

mnt@Galatians:1:24 @ And they were giving glory to God on my account.

mnt@Galatians:2:1 @ Fourteen years later I went up to Jerusalem again, with Barnabas, and took Titus also with me

mnt@Galatians:2:2 @ (I went up at that time in obedience to a revelation). And I laid before them the gospel which I am wont to preach among the Gentiles. I did this privately before those in authority, lest by any means I should be running, or should already have run, in vain.

mnt@Galatians:2:3 @ But although Titus, my companion, was a Greek, they did not compel even him to be circumcised.

mnt@Galatians:2:4 @ Yet there were false brethren who had crept in to spy out the freedom we enjoy in Christ Jesus, in order to enslave us again.

mnt@Galatians:2:5 @ To them we did not yield submission even for an hour, in order that the truth of the gospel might abide unshaken among you.

mnt@Galatians:2:6 @ But those in authority - what they once were makes no difference to me; God is no respecter of persons - those I say who were in authority had no additions to make my message.

mnt@Galatians:2:8 @ (for he who has equipped Peter for the apostleship to the circumcised, equipped me also for the apostleship to the Gentiles),

mnt@Galatians:2:9 @ and when they recognized the grace which had been given to me, James and Cephas and John, then thought to be pillars, gave to Barnabas and to me the right hand of fellowship. They agreed that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the Jews.

mnt@Galatians:2:10 @ They stipulated only that we should remember the poor, which very thing indeed I was quite eager to do.

mnt@Galatians:2:11 @ But when Cephas came to Antioch I resisted him to his face, because he stood self-condemned.

mnt@Galatians:2:12 @ For until certain men came from James he used to eat with the Gentile Christians, but when they came, he began to draw back and to separate himself, because he was afraid of the circumcision party.

mnt@Galatians:2:14 @ But when I saw that they were not walking a straight path, in the presence of the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas before them all. "If you, although you are a Jew, live like the Gentiles and not like the Jews, why do you try to compel the Gentiles to become Jews?

mnt@Galatians:2:17 @ But if while seeking to be justified in Christ we ourselves also have been found to be sinners, is Christ then a minister of sin? Far from it!

mnt@Galatians:2:19 @ For it is through law I died to law, in order to live to God.

mnt@Galatians:3:4 @ Did you have such experience to no purpose - if indeed it was really to no purpose?

mnt@Galatians:3:6 @ Even as Abraham believed God and it was counted to him for righteousness?

mnt@Galatians:3:8 @ And the Scripture, anticipating Gods justification of the Gentiles by faith, announced the gospel to Abraham beforehand in the words, In thee shall all the Gentiles be blessed.

mnt@Galatians:3:10 @ but a curse rests on those who have their root in the works of the Law; for it is written. Cursed is every one that continues not in all the things written in the Book of the Law, to do them.

mnt@Galatians:3:12 @ and the Law has nothing to do with faith, but declares, The man that has done these things shall live therein.

mnt@Galatians:3:14 @ to the end that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles, so that through faith we might receive the promised Spirit.

mnt@Galatians:3:15 @ Let me illustrate, brothers, from every-day life. When once a human testament is made, and formally ratified, no one sets it aside or adds to it.

mnt@Galatians:3:16 @ Now it was to Abraham that the promises were spoken, and to his offspring. God did not say, "offsprings" as if speaking of many, but "and to your offspring," as of one; and this is Christ.

mnt@Galatians:3:17 @ I mean to say that the testament which God has already ratified could not be annulled by the Law which came four hundred and thirty years later, so as to make the Promise void.

mnt@Galatians:3:18 @ For if the inheritance comes from law, it no longer comes from a promise; but God did give it as a free gift to Abraham by a promise.

mnt@Galatians:3:19 @ To what purpose, then, was the Law? It was imposed later for the sake of transgressions, until the "Offspring" should come to whom the promise had been made. It was arranged through angels by the hand of a mediator.

mnt@Galatians:3:20 @ (Now a mediator implies more than one person, but God is only one.)

mnt@Galatians:3:21 @ Is the Law then opposed to the promises of God? Certainly not; for if a law had been given which could make alive, then righteousness would actually have come from law;

mnt@Galatians:3:22 @ but the Scripture has shut up the whole world in prison together under sin, in order that the promise due to faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who have faith.

mnt@Galatians:3:23 @ Before the Faith came we were perpetual prisoners under the Law, in preparation for the destined faith about to be revealed.

mnt@Galatians:3:24 @ So the Law has been our tutor-slave our pedagogue to lead us to Christ, so that we may be justified by faith;

mnt@Galatians:3:25 @ but now that the Faith is come, we are no longer under a tutor-slave.

mnt@Galatians:3:27 @ For all of you who were baptized into Christ, have clothed yourselves with Christ.

mnt@Galatians:3:29 @ And if you belong to Christ, then you are the descendants of Abraham, heirs according to the promise.

mnt@Galatians:4:5 @ to redeem from captivity those under law, in order that we might receive our sonship.

mnt@Galatians:4:6 @ And because you are sons, God sent forth the spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, "Dear, dear Father!"

mnt@Galatians:4:7 @ So each one of you is no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir, too, through Gods grace.

mnt@Galatians:4:8 @ But once, when you Gentiles had no knowledge of God, you were slaves to gods which have no real being.

mnt@Galatians:4:9 @ Now, however, when you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how is it that you are beginning to turn back to those weak and beggarly externalities, eager to be in bondage to them again?

mnt@Galatians:4:11 @ I am alarmed about you for fear lest I may have bestowed labor on you to no purpose.

mnt@Galatians:4:13 @ on the contrary, you know that although it was illness which brought about my preaching the gospel to you at my first visit,

mnt@Galatians:4:14 @ and although my bodily affliction was a trial to you, you did not scoff at it nor spurn me, but welcomed me like an angel of God, like Christ Jesus himself.

mnt@Galatians:4:15 @ Why then did you account yourselves so happy? (For I bear you witness that if you could you would have torn out your own eyes and given them to me.)

mnt@Galatians:4:17 @ These men are courting your favor to no good purpose. They want to isolate you, so that you will be courting their favor.

mnt@Galatians:4:18 @ It is always an honorable thing to have your favor sought in an honorable cause, always, and not only when I am with you.

mnt@Galatians:4:20 @ How I wish I could be with you now, that I might change my tone; for I am perplexed about you.

mnt@Galatians:4:21 @ Tell me, you who wish to be subject to the Law, why do you not listen to the Law?

mnt@Galatians:4:23 @ but while the son by the slave woman was born according to the flesh, the son by the free woman was born in fulfilment of a promise.

mnt@Galatians:4:24 @ Now all this is an allegory, for these women are the two covenants; one from Mount Sinai, which is Hagar bearing children into bondage

mnt@Galatians:4:29 @ but just as in old times the son born by the flesh used to persecute the son born by the power of the Spirit, so also it is now.

mnt@Galatians:5:2 @ Listen to me! I, Paul, declare to you that if you are to continue to follow the rite of circumcision, Christ will be no profit to you.

mnt@Galatians:5:3 @ I solemnly testify to every man who submits to circumcision that he obligates himself to keep the whole Law.

mnt@Galatians:5:8 @ The influence brought to bear does not come from him who is calling you.

mnt@Galatians:5:10 @ As for me, I am fully trusting you in the Lord that you will be no otherwise minded; but he who is trying to unsettle you will have to bear his punishment, whoever he may be.

mnt@Galatians:5:11 @ But I, brothers, if I "still preach circumcision," why am I still persecuted? Then surely the stumbling-block of the Cross has ceased to be an obstacle!

mnt@Galatians:5:12 @ Would to God that those who are trying to unsettle you would even have themselves mutilated.

mnt@Galatians:5:13 @ For you, brothers, were called for freedom; only do not make your freedom an excuse for self-indulgence, but in love enslave yourselves to one another.

mnt@Galatians:5:21 @ envy, drunkenness, revelings, and things like these. I tell you beforehand, as I have already told you, that those who practise such sins shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

mnt@Galatians:5:24 @ And those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and appetites.

mnt@Galatians:6:1 @ Even if any one should be overtaken in a fault, brothers, you that are spiritual ought, in a gentle spirit, to restore such a one, each one of you looking to himself, lest you too be tempted.

mnt@Galatians:6:3 @ If a man fancies himself to be somebody when he is really nobody he is deceiving himself.

mnt@Galatians:6:4 @ Let each one test his own work, and he will then have something to be proud of by comparing himself with himself, and not with any one else;

mnt@Galatians:6:6 @ He, however, who is being taught in the message, should always share with his instructor in all the good things which he possesses.

mnt@Galatians:6:8 @ The man who is sowing to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption; but he who is sowing to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap life eternal.

mnt@Galatians:6:10 @ So then, as we have opportunity, let is do good to all men, but especially to those who are of the household of faith.

mnt@Galatians:6:11 @ See with what large letters I have written to you in my own handwriting!

mnt@Galatians:6:12 @ Those who are trying to compel you to be circumcised are such as wish to make a fair show in the flesh, only that they may not suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.

mnt@Galatians:6:13 @ Even those who are being circumcised, are not themselves keeping the Law, but they want you to be circumcised so that they may glory in your flesh.

mnt@Galatians:6:14 @ God forbid that I should glory in anything except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, upon which the world has been crucified to me and I have been crucified to the world.

mnt@Ephesians:1:1 @ Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints who are in Ephesus and to the faithful in Christ Jesus,

mnt@Ephesians:1:2 @ grace to you and peace from God our father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

mnt@Ephesians:1:4 @ Even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world to be holy and without blemish in his sight.

mnt@Ephesians:1:5 @ For in his love he predestined us (such was the good pleasure of his will) to adoption for himself as sons through Jesus Christ,

mnt@Ephesians:1:6 @ and to the praise of his glorious grace which he graciously bestowed upon us in the Beloved.

mnt@Ephesians:1:9 @ when he made known to us, I say, that good pleasure which he purposed in himself

mnt@Ephesians:1:11 @ It is he in whom we Jews also have our inheritance, having been chosen beforehand according to the purpose of Him who executes all things according to the counsel of his will,

mnt@Ephesians:1:13 @ And in him, because you listened to the proclamation of the truth, the evangel of your salvation, and trusted it, you Gentiles too were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit,

mnt@Ephesians:1:14 @ who for the praise of his glory is the pledge of our common heritage, unto the complete redemption of his purchased property.

mnt@Ephesians:1:15 @ For this reason I also, from the time when I heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which prevails among you, and your love to all the saints,

mnt@Ephesians:1:16 @ do not cease to praise God for you, whenever I mention you in my prayers.

mnt@Ephesians:1:21 @ far above all hierarchies and authorities and powers and dominions and every name that is named, not only in this age but in that which is to come.

mnt@Ephesians:2:1 @ And so God has given life to you Gentiles also, who were once dead in your trespasses and sins,

mnt@Ephesians:2:5 @ even while we were dead in our trespasses, made us live together with Christ (it is by grace you have been saved).

mnt@Ephesians:2:6 @ together with him He raised us from the dead, and together with Christ Jesus seated us in the heavenly realm,

mnt@Ephesians:2:7 @ in order that he might show to the ages to come the amazing riches of his grace by his goodness to us in Christ Jesus.

mnt@Ephesians:2:10 @ for we are his handiwork, created in Christ Jesus for good deeds, which God predestined us to make our daily way of life.

mnt@Ephesians:2:12 @ were once upon a time without Christ, aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, strangers to the covenants of the Promise, without hope and without God in the world.

mnt@Ephesians:2:15 @ In his own body he abolished the cause of our enmity, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, in order to make the two into one new man in himself, so making peace.

mnt@Ephesians:2:16 @ Thus he reconciled us both in one body to God by his cross, on which he slew our enmity.

mnt@Ephesians:2:17 @ So he came preaching "Peace" to you Gentiles who were afar off, and "Peace" to us Jews who were near;

mnt@Ephesians:2:18 @ because it is through him that we both have access in one spirit to the Father.

mnt@Ephesians:2:20 @ You are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner-stone.

mnt@Ephesians:2:21 @ In him the whole building, fitly framed together, rises into a holy temple in the Lord;

mnt@Ephesians:2:22 @ and in him you, too, are continuously built together for a dwelling- place of God through his Spirit.

mnt@Ephesians:3:2 @ for surely you have heard of the stewardship of the grace of God entrusted to me for you?

mnt@Ephesians:3:3 @ You have heard how by direct revelation the secret truth was made known to me, as I have already briefly written you.

mnt@Ephesians:3:4 @ By reading what I have written, you can judge of my insight into that secret truth of Christ

mnt@Ephesians:3:5 @ which was not disclosed to the sons of men in former generations, as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to his holy apostles and prophets,

mnt@Ephesians:3:7 @ It is of this gospel I became a minister according to the gift of the power of the grace of God, bestowed on me by the energy of his power.

mnt@Ephesians:3:8 @ To me, who am less than the least of all saints, has this grace been given, that I should proclaim among the Gentiles the gospel of the unsearchable riches of Christ;

mnt@Ephesians:3:10 @ in order that now his manifold wisdom should, through the church, be made known to the principalities and powers in the heavenly sphere,

mnt@Ephesians:3:11 @ according to his eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord.

mnt@Ephesians:3:13 @ So I beg you not to lose heart over my tribulations in your behalf; they are your glory.

mnt@Ephesians:3:16 @ praying him to grant you according to the riches of his glory to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in your inmost being;

mnt@Ephesians:3:18 @ that you may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is "the breadth," "the length," "the depth," and "the height,"

mnt@Ephesians:3:21 @ to him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus, to all generations, world without end, Amen.

mnt@Ephesians:4:1 @ I summon you then, I the prisoner in the Lord, to live lives worthy of the calling to which you were called.

mnt@Ephesians:4:3 @ and endeavor to preserve the unity of the Spirit in the bonds of peace.

mnt@Ephesians:4:7 @ And to each one of us was grace given according to the measure of the munificence of Christ.

mnt@Ephesians:4:8 @ Thus it is said, When he ascended on high, he led captivity captive and gave gifts to men.

mnt@Ephesians:4:9 @ Now surely this "he ascended" implies that he also descended into the lower part of the earth.

mnt@Ephesians:4:11 @ It is he who made some men apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers,

mnt@Ephesians:4:12 @ in order to equip the saints for the work of serving, for the building up of the Body of Christ -

mnt@Ephesians:4:13 @ till we all come in the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to the maturity of manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ.

mnt@Ephesians:4:14 @ So we shall no longer be children, tossed up and down, and blown about by every wind of teaching, tricked by the craft of men in the snares of misleading error;

mnt@Ephesians:4:15 @ but holding the truth in love we shall grow up in every part into him who is our Head, even Christ.

mnt@Ephesians:4:16 @ From him the whole body (knit together and compacted by all its joints) makes continual growth of the body so as to build itself up in love, through the energy of his bounteous provision, according to the need of each several part.

mnt@Ephesians:4:17 @ This then I tell you and implore you in the Masters name, to pass your lives no longer as the Gentiles do in the perverseness of their minds;

mnt@Ephesians:4:19 @ These being past feeling have given themselves over to sensuality, in order to practise every form of impurity with greedy zest.

mnt@Ephesians:4:28 @ Let him who stole steal no more, but let him work, and in honest industry toil with his hands, so that he may have something to give to the needy.

mnt@Ephesians:4:29 @ From your lips let no evil words come forth, but such as occasion warrants, such as are good for upbuilding and give a blessing to the hearers.

mnt@Ephesians:4:32 @ and be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ has forgiven you.

mnt@Ephesians:5:1 @ Learn then to imitate God as his beloved children,

mnt@Ephesians:5:2 @ and to lead lives of love, just as Christ also loved you and gave himself up for you, an offering and sacrifice unto God, for you, an offering and sacrifice unto God, for "an odor of sweetness."

mnt@Ephesians:5:3 @ As for sexual vice and every kind of impurity or lust, it is unbecoming for you as Christians even to mention them;

mnt@Ephesians:5:4 @ so too with vulgarity and buffoonery and foolish jesting. Such words become you not, but rather thanksgiving.

mnt@Ephesians:5:5 @ For be well assured that no one guilty of fornication or impurity or covetousness which is idolatry, has any heritage in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

mnt@Ephesians:5:10 @ Examine carefully what is well pleasing to the Lord,

mnt@Ephesians:5:12 @ For it is a shame even to speak of the things that are done by such men in secret;

mnt@Ephesians:5:15 @ See to it, then, that you carry on your life carefully; not as foolish, but as wise men.

mnt@Ephesians:5:17 @ For this reason do not be thoughtless, but learn to know what the Lords will is.

mnt@Philippians:1:19 @ For I know that these things will turn out to my salvation through your prayers and a rich supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ.

mnt@Philippians:1:20 @ So it is my keen expectation and hope that I shall never feel ashamed, but that with fearless courage, now as hither to, Christ may be magnified in my body, whether by my life or by my death.

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

mnt@Philippians:1:22 @ But now, if life in the flesh, if this be the fruit of my toil - what to choose I do not know,

mnt@Philippians:1:23 @ but am in a quandary between the two. I am perplexed. I have a strong desire to break camp and to be with Christ, which is far better;

mnt@Philippians:1:27 @ Only do lead lives worthy of the gospel of Christ; so that whether I come to see you or hear reports concerning you in my absence, I may know that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one soul, enlisted in a common struggle for the faith of the gospel,

mnt@Philippians:1:29 @ For it has been granted you in Christs behalf, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake,

mnt@Philippians:2:2 @ I entreat you to make my joy overflow by living in harmony; possessing the same love, and with one soul united in one purpose.

mnt@Philippians:2:3 @ Do nothing out of strife, nothing out of vanity, but let each one in true humility consider the others to be of more account than himself.

mnt@Philippians:2:6 @ who, though from the beginning he had the nature of God, did not reckon equality with God something to be forcibly retained,

mnt@Philippians:2:8 @ More than this, after he had shone himself in human form, he humbled himself in his obedience even to death; yes, and to death on a cross.

mnt@Philippians:2:9 @ And for this God highly exalted him, and graciously bestowed upon him the name which is above every name;

mnt@Philippians:2:11 @ and every tongue confess that "Jesus Christ is Lord," to the glory of God the Father.

mnt@Philippians:2:16 @ holding out a message of life. Thus it will be my boast at the day of Christ that I have not run in vain, or toiled for nothing.

mnt@Philippians:2:17 @ Nay, even if my life is to be poured out as a libation upon the sacrifice and service of you faith,

mnt@Philippians:2:19 @ Now I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you before long, so that I may be of good comfort when I learn the news concerning you.

mnt@Philippians:2:23 @ So I hope to send him, as soon as ever I see how it will go with me;

mnt@Philippians:2:25 @ Epaphroditus, my brother and coworker and fellow soldier, who is your messenger and minister to my needs, I have thought it necessary to send to you;

mnt@Philippians:2:27 @ And indeed he was sick nigh unto death; but God had mercy on him, and not on him only, but on me also so that I should not have sorrow upon sorrow.

mnt@Philippians:2:28 @ Therefore I have been the more eager to send him, in order that you may rejoice in seeing him again, and that I may have one sorrow less.

mnt@Philippians:2:30 @ for it was through the work of the Lord that he came near to death; for he hazarded his very life to supply what was lacking in the help you sent me.

mnt@Philippians:3:1 @ Finally, my brothers, continue to rejoice in the Lord. To write the same thing is not indeed wearisome to me, and it is safe for you.

mnt@Philippians:3:4 @ although I myself might have confidence in outward rites. If any one else claims a right to trust in them, far more may I;

mnt@Philippians:3:5 @ circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew sprung from the Hebrews; as to the Law, a Pharisee;

mnt@Philippians:3:6 @ as to zeal, a persecutor of the church; as to the righteousness which comes through law, blameless.

mnt@Philippians:3:7 @ But what was once gain to me, that I have counted loss for Christ.

mnt@Philippians:3:8 @ In very truth I count all things but loss compared to the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things, and esteem them but refuse that I may gain Christ,

mnt@Philippians:3:10 @ I long to know him in the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of his sufferings, by sharing the likeness of his death;

mnt@Philippians:3:11 @ if by any means I might attain to the resurrection from the dead!

mnt@Philippians:3:12 @ I do not say that I have already won, or am already perfect, but I am passing on to lay hold on the prize for which also Christ has laid hold of me.

mnt@Philippians:3:13 @ Brothers, I do not regard myself to have yet laid hold of it; but this one thing I do, forgetting what is behind me, but straining every nerve toward that which lies ahead,

mnt@Philippians:3:14 @ I am ever pressing on toward the goal, for the prize of Gods heavenward call in Christ Jesus.

mnt@Philippians:3:15 @ Let us all then, who are mature Christians, strive for this! God will make this clear to any of you who are striving for other goals;

mnt@Philippians:3:17 @ Brothers, be comrades in imitating me, and study those whose life and walk is according to the pattern I have set you.

mnt@Philippians:3:18 @ For there are many - as I used often to tell you, and am now telling you even with tears - who live and walk as the enemies of the cross of Christ.

mnt@Philippians:3:21 @ who will change the fashion of the body of our abasement into the likeness of his glorious body by the energy with which he is able even to subject all things to himself.

mnt@Philippians:4:2 @ Euodia I entreat, and I entreat Syntyche, to be of the same mind of the Lord;

mnt@Philippians:4:3 @ yes, and I beg you also, my true yokefellow, to help them; for these women shared my toil in the furtherance of the gospel, together with Clement, and the rest of my fellow workers whose names are in the book of life.

mnt@Philippians:4:6 @ Do not worry about anything; but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;

mnt@Philippians:4:11 @ Not that I speak as if I were in want, for at least have learned how to be content, whatever happens.

mnt@Philippians:4:12 @ I know how to live humbly, and I also know how to bear prosperity. In every place and under all circumstances I have been initiated into the secret of fulness and of hunger, of prosperity and of want.

mnt@Philippians:4:17 @ It is not your gifts I am eager for, but I am eager for the abundant profit that accrues to your divine account.

mnt@Philippians:4:18 @ But I give you a receipt in full for all things abound. I am amply supplied with what you sent by Epaphroditus - an odor of sweet fragrance, a sacrifice acceptable, well pleasing to God.

mnt@Philippians:4:19 @ All your own needs my God will fully supply, according to his riches in glory, in Christ Jesus.

mnt@Philippians:4:20 @ Now unto our God and Father be the glory, forever and ever. Amen.

mnt@Colossians:1:2 @ to the holy and believing brothers in Christ who are in Colosse. Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father.

mnt@Colossians:1:4 @ (since I heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and your love to all the saints)

mnt@Colossians:1:5 @ because of the hope laid up for you in heaven. Long ago you heard of this hope in the message which came to you of the truth of the gospel.

mnt@Colossians:1:6 @ And just as it is spreading through the whole world, bearing fruit and increasing, so also is it among you, from the day in which you heard it, and came truly to know the grace of God,

mnt@Colossians:1:8 @ and it is he who has told me of your love for me in the spirit.

mnt@Colossians:1:9 @ For this reason from the day I heard of it I have never ceased to pray for you, asking God to fill you with the knowledge of his will with every kind of wisdom and spiritual insight;

mnt@Colossians:1:12 @ I ask that you may give thanks to the Father who has made us fit to receive our share of the heritage of the saints in the light.

mnt@Colossians:1:13 @ For he has delivered us out of the dominion of the darkness, and transplanted us into the kingdom of his dear Son,

mnt@Colossians:1:19 @ For in him all the divine fulness chose to dwell;

mnt@Colossians:1:20 @ and by him it chose to reconcile all things alike on earth or in heaven to himself; making peace by him, through the blood of his cross.

mnt@Colossians:1:22 @ he has now in his human body reconciled to God by his death, in order that he may bring you into his presence, holy and unblemished and irreproachable.

mnt@Colossians:1:23 @ And this he will do if, indeed, you continue in the faith, firmly founded and stedfast, and never moved away from the hope of the gospel which you heard, and which has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, that gospel of which I, Paul, was made a minister.

mnt@Colossians:1:25 @ It is of this I was made a minister, according to the stewardship entrusted to me by God for you, fully to declare Gods message;

mnt@Colossians:1:26 @ that secret truth, which, although hidden from ages and generations of old, has now been made manifest to his saints.

mnt@Colossians:1:27 @ To them God willed to make known among the Gentiles how glorious are the riches of that secret truth, which is "Christ in you, the hope of glory."

mnt@Colossians:1:28 @ Him I am ever proclaiming, warning every one and teaching every one, in all wisdom; that I may bring every man into his presence, full grown in Christ.

mnt@Colossians:1:29 @ For that end I am ever toiling, wrestling with all that energy of his which is mightily at work within me.

mnt@Colossians:2:2 @ May their hearts be comforted! May they be knit together in love! May they gain in all its riches the full assurance of their understanding! May they come to a perfect knowledge of the secret truth of God, which is Christ himself.

mnt@Colossians:2:5 @ For though I am absent from you in body, I am with you in spirit, happy to note your discipline and the solid front of your faith in Christ.

mnt@Colossians:2:13 @ And you also, at one time dead in your trespasses and in the uncircumcision of your sensual nature, he has made alive together with himself. For he forgave us all our transgressions,

mnt@Colossians:2:14 @ blotted out the handwriting of ordinances that stood against us and was hostile to us, and took it out of our way, nailing it to his cross.

mnt@Colossians:2:16 @ Therefore do not permit any one to sit in judgment on you in regard to what you may eat or drink, or in regard to feast-days or new moons or sabbaths.

mnt@Colossians:2:17 @ These were a shadow of things to come, but the substance belongs to Christ.

mnt@Colossians:2:19 @ instead of keeping connection with the Head from the whole body draws nourishment for all its needs by the joints which bind it; and is knit together, and grows with a divine growth.

mnt@Colossians:2:20 @ If you died with Christ to the worlds rudimentary notions, why, as if you still lived in the world, do you submit yourselves to dogmatisms found on teachings and doctrines of men -

mnt@Colossians:2:21 @ such as "Do not handle this," "You must not taste that," "Do not touch this" -

mnt@Colossians:2:22 @ all things which are intended to perish in the using?

mnt@Colossians:3:8 @ But now you also must renounce them all. Anger, passion, and ill- will must be put away; slander, too, and foul talk, so that they may never soil your lips.

mnt@Colossians:3:9 @ Lie not one to another, but strip off the old self with its doings,

mnt@Colossians:3:10 @ and put on that new self which is continually made over according to the likeness of its Creator, into full understanding.

mnt@Colossians:3:15 @ Let the peace of Christ, to which also you were called in one body, rule in your hearts, and show yourselves thankful.

mnt@Colossians:3:16 @ Let the word of Christ have its home in you richly, in all wisdom. Teach and admonish one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, ever singing with grace in your hearts unto God.

mnt@Colossians:3:17 @ And whatever you do, whether in word of in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God our Father through him.

mnt@Colossians:3:18 @ Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands, as is fitting for Christians.

mnt@Colossians:3:19 @ Husbands, be loving to your wives, and be not cross or surly with them.

mnt@Colossians:4:3 @ Keep on praying for me, too, that God may open for me a door of utterance to speak the secret truth of Christ, for which I am a prisoner.

mnt@Colossians:4:4 @ Pray that I may unfold it as I ought to speak.

mnt@Colossians:4:5 @ Conduct yourselves with wisdom toward those without, buying up your opportunities.

mnt@Colossians:4:6 @ Let your speech be always gracious, with a savor of salt, and learn how to give every man a fitting answer.

mnt@Colossians:4:7 @ Tychicus, my beloved brother and faithful minister and fellow slave in the Lord, will make known to you all that concerns me.

mnt@Colossians:4:8 @ I have sent him with Onesimus, the faithful and beloved brother, one of your own number, for this very purpose, to let you know how I am, and to cheer your hearts.

mnt@Colossians:4:10 @ Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner, salutes you, and Marcus, the cousin of Barnabas (about whom you received instructions; if he comes to you, make him welcome), and Jesus surnamed Justas.

mnt@Colossians:4:11 @ These are my only fellow workers for the kingdom of God, belonging to the circumcision, who have been any comfort to me.

mnt@Colossians:4:13 @ For I can testify to his deep interest in you and in those in Laodicea and Hierapolis.

mnt@Colossians:4:16 @ And when this letter has been read to you, see that it is read also in the church of Laodiceans, and that you also read the letter from Laodicea.

mnt@Colossians:4:17 @ And tell Archippas to take heed to the ministry which he has received in the Lord, that he may fulfill it.

mnt@1Thessalonians:1:1 @ Paul and Silas and Timothy. To the church of the Thessalonians which is in God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ. Grace be to you, and peace.

mnt@1Thessalonians:1:3 @ as I call to mind your work of faith, and labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the presence of our God and Father.

mnt@1Thessalonians:1:5 @ for my gospel did not come to you in word only, but in power also, and in the Holy Spirit, and with deep conviction. For you know also the manner in which I behaved myself among you for your sakes.

mnt@1Thessalonians:1:6 @ Moreover, you began to follow the pattern I set you, and the Lords also, receiving the word with joy in the Holy Spirit, although amid severe persecution.

mnt@1Thessalonians:1:7 @ Thus you became a pattern to all the believers in Macedonia and Achaia.

mnt@1Thessalonians:1:8 @ For the word of the Lord has been sounded forth from you, and its sound has been heard not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place where the tidings of your faith toward God have been spread abroad, so that I have no need to speak of it.

mnt@1Thessalonians:1:9 @ For others, of their own accord, tell about the welcome I had from you, and how you turned to God from your idols, to be slaved of a true and living God,

mnt@1Thessalonians:1:10 @ and to await for the coming of his Son from the heavens, the Son whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, our Deliverer from the wrath to come.

mnt@1Thessalonians:2:1 @ For you yourselves know, brothers, that my visit to you did not fail of its purpose;

mnt@1Thessalonians:2:2 @ for you remember that although I had already borne ill-treatment and insult at Philippi, I took courage in my God to tell you the gospel of God, in the face of much opposition.

mnt@1Thessalonians:2:4 @ But as my fitness to be entrusted with the gospel has been tested and approved by God, I so speak, not to please men, but to please God, who is testing my motives.

mnt@1Thessalonians:2:5 @ For as you well know, I never resorted to flattery, nor to any pretext for enriching myself. God is my witness!

mnt@1Thessalonians:2:8 @ So in my fond affection it was my joy to give you, not only the gospel of God, but my very life also, because you had become dear to me.

mnt@1Thessalonians:2:9 @ You recall, brothers, my labor and toil; how, while working at my trade day and night, so as not to become a burden to any of you, I proclaimed to you the gospel of God.

mnt@1Thessalonians:2:11 @ You know how I was wont to treat each of you as a father treats his children,

mnt@1Thessalonians:2:12 @ exhorting and imploring and adjuring each one among you to lead a life worthy of the God who called you into his own kingdom and glory.

mnt@1Thessalonians:2:13 @ For this reason also I am giving continual thanks to God, because when you heard from me the spoken word of God, you received it not as the word of men, but as the word of God (which in truth it is), who himself is effectually at work in you believe.

mnt@1Thessalonians:2:14 @ For you, brothers, began to follow the example of the churches of God in Judea, which are in Christ Jesus; and you in your turn suffered at the hands of your fellow citizens persecutions like to those which they endured from the Jews -

mnt@1Thessalonians:2:15 @ The men who killed both the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and drove us out - they are displeasing to God, and are the enemies of all mankind.

mnt@1Thessalonians:2:16 @ They forbid me to speak to the Gentiles with a view to their salvation. They continue always to fill up the measure of their sins; but the wrath of God is come upon them to the full!

mnt@1Thessalonians:2:17 @ But I, my brothers, although torn from you for a short season (in presence, not in heart), made eager efforts to behold you face to face with strong longing.

mnt@1Thessalonians:2:19 @ For what is my hope, or joy? What is the victors wreath in which I exult? What but your own selves in the presence of our Lord Jesus, at his coming! For you are my pride and my delight.

mnt@1Thessalonians:3:1 @ And so, when I could no longer bear it, I made up my mind to be left behind at Athens, all alone.

mnt@1Thessalonians:3:2 @ I sent Timothy, my brother and Gods fellow worker in the gospel of Christ, to strengthen you and to hearten you in your faith.

mnt@1Thessalonians:3:3 @ So that no one should be shaken by these troubles-for you know well that we are appointed to troubles.

mnt@1Thessalonians:3:4 @ For even when I was with you I used to tell you beforehand that I was to suffer affliction; and so it proved, as you know.

mnt@1Thessalonians:3:5 @ So, when I could no longer endure it, I sent to find out about your faith, fearing that the tempter had tempted you and that my labor had been in vain.

mnt@1Thessalonians:3:6 @ But now that Timothy has returned from you to me, and has brought good news of your faith and love, and that you are still holding me in affectionate remembrance, always longing to see me as I also am longing to see you.

mnt@1Thessalonians:3:7 @ I have been comforted, my brothers, in regard to you, in spite of all my distress and affliction over your faith.

mnt@1Thessalonians:3:9 @ For what thanksgiving can I render again to God in your behalf, in return for all the joy which you cause me in the presence of my God?

mnt@1Thessalonians:3:10 @ Night and day I am praying earnestly that I may see you face to face, and may perfect whatever is yet lacking in your faith.

mnt@1Thessalonians:3:11 @ Now may our God and Father himself, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct my path to you.

mnt@1Thessalonians:3:12 @ Meanwhile, may the Lord cause you to increase and abound in love toward one another and toward all men, even as I do toward you.

mnt@1Thessalonians:4:1 @ Finally then, my brothers, I continue to beseech and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that, as you learned of me how to walk so as to please God - and you are actually doing so - that you abound in it yet more and more.

mnt@1Thessalonians:4:4 @ That each one should learn how to take a wife in purity and honor.

mnt@1Thessalonians:4:6 @ That no man overreach or take advantage of his brother in such matters, because "the Lord takes vengeance" in all these things, as also I repeatedly forewarned you and testified to you.

mnt@1Thessalonians:4:9 @ It is not needed that I should write to you about brotherly love; for you yourselves have been taught by God to love one another.

mnt@1Thessalonians:4:10 @ As indeed you do love all the brothers in Macedonia. But I exhort you, brothers, to abound in this yet more.

mnt@1Thessalonians:4:11 @ Also, that you endeavor to live quietly and to mind your own business, and to work with your hands (as I charged you).

mnt@1Thessalonians:4:12 @ So that your conduct may be seemly toward those that are without, and that you may not need help from any man.

mnt@1Thessalonians:4:15 @ For this I tell you by the word of the Lord, that we who are living, who survive unto the coming of the Lord, will in no wise precede those who have fallen asleep.

mnt@1Thessalonians:4:17 @ And afterwards we who are alive, who remain, shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air; and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

mnt@1Thessalonians:5:1 @ Now as to the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need that anything be written to you.

mnt@1Thessalonians:5:9 @ For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to win salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.

mnt@1Thessalonians:5:10 @ He died for us, in order that whether we are keeping vigil in life or sleeping in death we may ever be living together with him.

mnt@1Thessalonians:5:11 @ So comfort one another, and try to build one another up, as indeed you are doing.

mnt@1Thessalonians:5:12 @ I entreat you, brothers, to acknowledge those who are toiling among you and are your leaders in the Lord, and give you counsel.

mnt@1Thessalonians:5:14 @ And, brothers, we urge you to admonish the disorderly, comfort the faint-hearted, sustain the weak, lose patience with none.

mnt@1Thessalonians:5:15 @ Take care that none of you ever return evil for evil, but always pursue what is kind to one another and to all.

mnt@1Thessalonians:5:21 @ But try all, holding fast to the good.

mnt@1Thessalonians:5:23 @ May the God of peace consecrate you wholly; and may your spirit and soul and body be kept altogether faultless until the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

mnt@1Thessalonians:5:27 @ I adjure you, in the name of the Lord, to have this letter read to all the brothers.

mnt@2Thessalonians:1:1 @ Paul and Silvanus and Timothy. To the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

mnt@2Thessalonians:1:2 @ Grace to you, and peace from God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

mnt@2Thessalonians:1:3 @ I ought always to thank God for you, brothers, as is fitting because of the abundant growth of your faith and of the overflowing love with which every one of you is filled toward one another.

mnt@2Thessalonians:1:6 @ For truly Gods justice must render back trouble to those who are troubling you,

mnt@2Thessalonians:1:7 @ and give to you, who are now troubled, rest, along with me at the unveiling "apocalypse" of the Lord Jesus from heaven, with his mighty angels,

mnt@2Thessalonians:1:10 @ when he comes to be glorified in his saints, and to be wondered at in all believers, on that Day; (for you also believed our testimony).

mnt@2Thessalonians:1:11 @ To this end I am making my constant prayer for you, beseeching God to make you worthy of your calling, and to fulfil mightily every desire of goodness and effort of faith;

mnt@2Thessalonians:1:12 @ so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in him, according to the grace of our God and of our Lord Jesus Christ.

mnt@2Thessalonians:2:1 @ Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to meet him, I entreat you, brothers,

mnt@2Thessalonians:2:2 @ not to be "quickly shaken out of your wits" and not to be agitated either by a spirit or by a message, or by an epistle purporting to be from me, saying, "The Day of the Lord is at hand."

mnt@2Thessalonians:2:5 @ Do you not recall that I often told you this, when I was with you?

mnt@2Thessalonians:2:6 @ And now you know what is holding him back, to the end that he may be revealed in his appointed time.

mnt@2Thessalonians:2:7 @ For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only there is one who is hindering and will continue to hinder till he be removed;

mnt@2Thessalonians:2:9 @ even he whose coming is according to the energy of Satan, in every power and sign and lying wonder,

mnt@2Thessalonians:2:12 @ so that they all should be condemned, who are faithless to the truth, but take pleasure in evil.

mnt@2Thessalonians:2:13 @ But for you, brothers, whom the Lord loves, I ought to give thanks to God continually, because God has chosen you from the beginning for salvation in consecration of the Spirit and belief of the truth.

mnt@2Thessalonians:3:4 @ Now we have fully fixed our faith on you in the Lord, that you are doing and will continue to do what we enjoin.

mnt@2Thessalonians:3:5 @ May the Lord incline your hearts to the love of God and to the stedfastness of Christ.

mnt@2Thessalonians:3:6 @ I summon you, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, to shun any brother who leads an idle and disorderly life, which is not according to the rule you received from me.

mnt@2Thessalonians:3:8 @ I did not eat my food as a gift from any man, but in toil and travail, night and day, I worked, so that I might not be a burden to any of you.

mnt@2Thessalonians:3:9 @ Not that I have no right to such support; it was simply to give you an example for you to imitate.

mnt@2Thessalonians:3:10 @ For indeed when I was with you, I used to charge you, "If any man will not work, he shall not eat."

mnt@2Thessalonians:3:12 @ Now all such I command and entreat, by the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ, to work in quietness. and to earn their own living.

mnt@2Thessalonians:3:14 @ If any man does not give heed to what I have said in this letter, mark that man; do not associate with him, so as to make him feel ashamed;

mnt@2Thessalonians:3:17 @ I, Paul, add this greeting in my own handwriting, which is my token in every letter. Thus I write -

mnt@1Timothy:1:2 @ to Timothy, my true son in the faith; Grace, mercy and peace from God, our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

mnt@1Timothy:1:3 @ As I begged you when I was setting out for Macedonia, stay where you are at Ephesus, and instruct certain individuals there not to be teaching heterodoxy,

mnt@1Timothy:1:4 @ nor to be paying attention to myths and interminable genealogies, which tend to promote discussions rather than a stewardship entrusted by God, a stewardship which is in faith.

mnt@1Timothy:1:6 @ Some have failed here, and have turned aside to empty argument.

mnt@1Timothy:1:7 @ Although they desire to be teachers of the law, they understand neither the words they use nor the subjects they talk about.

mnt@1Timothy:1:10 @ for the immoral, for sexual perverts, for slave dealers, liars, perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound teaching,

mnt@1Timothy:1:11 @ as laid down in the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which has been entrusted to me.

mnt@1Timothy:1:12 @ And I am thankful to Christ Jesus our Lord, who has thus enabled me, that he accounted me faithful, and appointed me to his service,

mnt@1Timothy:1:13 @ although I had formerly been a blasphemer and a persecutor and a doer of outrage. But I obtained mercy because I acted ignorantly in unbelief.

mnt@1Timothy:1:15 @ Faithful is the saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that "Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners"! And there is no greater sinner than I!

mnt@1Timothy:1:17 @ Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be glory and honor forever and ever. Amen!

mnt@1Timothy:1:18 @ This charge then, I am laying upon you, Timothy, my son, according to the predictions formerly made concerning you. Fight the good fight in the spirit of these predictions,

mnt@1Timothy:1:20 @ Among them are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have given over to Satan, so that they may be taught not to blaspheme.

mnt@1Timothy:2:4 @ whose will it is that all men should be saved, and come into full knowledge of the truth.

mnt@1Timothy:2:5 @ For God is one; and one is mediator between God and man, the Man Christ Jesus,

mnt@1Timothy:2:6 @ who gave himself as a ransom in behalf of all, to be attested in due time.

mnt@1Timothy:2:7 @ It was for this testimony that I myself was appointed a herald and apostle (I am telling the truth, I am not lying), to be a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

mnt@1Timothy:2:9 @ in like manner also the women. I desire women to clothe themselves in suitable apparel, adorning themselves with reverence and self- restraint; not with hair plaited with gold or pearls, or with expensive clothes,

mnt@1Timothy:2:12 @ I allow no woman to teach, or to exercise authority over a man; but let her keep quiet.

mnt@Hebrews:1:1 @ God, who in ancient days spoke to our ancestors in the prophets, at many different times and by various methods,

mnt@Hebrews:1:2 @ has at the end of these days spoken to us in a Son whom he appointed heir of all things; through whom also he made the universe.

mnt@Hebrews:1:4 @ He is as much superior to the angels as the name that he has inherited surpasses theirs.

mnt@Hebrews:1:5 @ For to what angel did God ever say, Thou art my son; this day have I become thy Father? and again, I will be a father to him, and he shall be to me a son?

mnt@Hebrews:1:6 @ And further, when he brought the firstborn into the habitable world, he said, Let all the angels of God worship him.

mnt@Hebrews:1:7 @ While of the angels he said, He makes his angels into winds, His ministering servants into flames of fire.

mnt@Hebrews:1:8 @ But to the Son he says. Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever, And the scepter of thy kingdom is the scepter of justice.

mnt@Hebrews:1:13 @ To which of the angels has he ever said, Sit at my right hand, Till I make thy foes a footstool for thy feet?

mnt@Hebrews:1:14 @ Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth for service in behalf of those who are about to inherit salvation?

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

mnt@Hebrews:2:2 @ For if the word uttered through angels stood firm, so that every transgression and act of disobedience met with its just retribution, how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation?

mnt@Hebrews:2:3 @ Which having begun to be spoken by the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard him;

mnt@Hebrews:2:5 @ It is not to angels that God subjected the age to be, of which we are speaking.

mnt@Hebrews:2:7 @ Thou hast made him only a little lower that the angels; With glory and honor hast thou crowned him; And hast set him to govern the works of thy hands;

mnt@Hebrews:2:8 @ Thou hast put all things under his feet. For this putting all things under man means leaving nothing not subject to him. But we do not yet see all things subject to him.

mnt@Hebrews:2:10 @ For it befitted him, for whom and through whom all things exist, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the Pioneer of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

mnt@Hebrews:2:11 @ For both he who sanctifies and those whom he is sanctifying are all from One; for which reason he is not ashamed to call them brothers, saying.

mnt@Hebrews:2:12 @ I will proclaim thy name to my brothers; In the midst of the Church I will hymn thy praises.

mnt@Hebrews:2:14 @ Therefore, since the children are sharers in flesh and blood, he also similarly partook of the same, in order that through death he might render powerless him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;

mnt@Hebrews:2:15 @ And might deliver those who through fear of death had been subject to life-long bondage.

mnt@Hebrews:2:17 @ And so it was necessary that he should in all points be made like his brothers, so that he might become a compassionate and faithful high priest, in all that relates to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.

mnt@Hebrews:2:18 @ For inasmuch as he himself has suffered, being tempted, he is also able instantly to succor those who are tempted, he is also able instantly to succor those who are tempted.

mnt@Hebrews:3:2 @ How faithful he was to the God who appointed him! For while Moses also was faithful in all Gods house,

mnt@Hebrews:3:5 @ And Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant, bearing testimony to a witness about to be spoken;

mnt@Hebrews:3:6 @ but Christ as a Son in his own house; and we are that house, if we retain the cheerful courage and pride of our hope firm unto the end.

mnt@Hebrews:3:7 @ Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says. If you hear Gods voice today,

mnt@Hebrews:3:8 @ Continue not to harden your hearts as in the Provocation, On the day of temptation in the wilderness,

mnt@Hebrews:3:11 @ So I swore in my wrath, "They shall never enter into my rest."

mnt@Hebrews:3:12 @ See to it, brothers, that there shall never be in any one of you an evil and unbelieving heart, manifesting itself in apostasy from the living God.

mnt@Hebrews:3:13 @ On the contrary, encourage each other daily, so long as there is a "Today," so that no one of you is hindered by the deceitfulness of sin.

mnt@Hebrews:3:15 @ In the words of Scripture, Today, if you hear his voice, Do not continue to harden your hearts as at the Provocation.

mnt@Hebrews:3:18 @ And to whom did he swear that they should never enter into his rest, if not to those who had proved faithless? So you see that it was through unbelief that they were not able to enter in.

mnt@Hebrews:4:1 @ Let us be on our guard, then, though there is a promise still standing of being admitted to his rest, lest any one of you should be found to have come short of it.

mnt@Hebrews:4:2 @ For the Good News is come to us just as it did to them. But the message they heard was of no benefit to them, because they did not share the faith of those who gave heed to it.

mnt@Hebrews:4:3 @ We are actually entering into that rest, we who have believed, as God has said, -In my wrath I swore - "They shall not enter into my Rest," although his works were finished since the foundation of the world.

mnt@Hebrews:4:5 @ And again in this passage, They shall not enter into my rest.

mnt@Hebrews:4:6 @ Since, then, it remains that some should enter into it, and since those who formerly had the Good News preached to them did not enter in because of unbelief,

mnt@Hebrews:4:7 @ he again fixes a day, saying long afterward by Davids lips, in words already quoted, Today if you hear his voice, Continue not to harden your hearts.

mnt@Hebrews:4:10 @ For whoever has entered into his rest has rested from his works, just as God did from his.

mnt@Hebrews:4:11 @ Let us, then, be earnest to enter into that rest, so that no one may fall into the same example of disobedience.

mnt@Hebrews:4:12 @ For living is the Word of God, and active, and sharper than any two- edged sword, piercing even to the severance of soul form spirit, of both joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the very thoughts and conceptions of the heart.

mnt@Hebrews:4:13 @ And there is not a creature hidden form him, but all things are naked and laid prostrate before the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

mnt@Hebrews:4:16 @ Let us, then, draw near with glad boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and find grace to help us in our times of need.

mnt@Hebrews:5:1 @ For every high priest chosen from time to time from among men is appointed on behalf of men, in matters relating to God, to offer both gifts and sacrifices on behalf of sins.

mnt@Hebrews:5:2 @ He is able to deal gently with the ignorant and erring, since he himself also is encompassed with moral weakness,

mnt@Hebrews:5:3 @ and because of this weakness he is bound to offer sin-offerings not only for the people, but also for himself.

mnt@Hebrews:5:5 @ So even the Christ was not raised to the high glory of the priesthood by himself, but on the contrary by Him who said to him. Thou art my Son; this day have I become thy Father;

mnt@Hebrews:5:7 @ In the days of his flesh, with better cries and weeping Jesus offered up prayers and supplications to Him who was able to save him out of death; and he was heard because of his devout submission.

mnt@Hebrews:5:9 @ and by being thus made perfect, he became the source of enduring salvation to all who obey him,

mnt@Hebrews:5:10 @ while God himself pronounced him High Priest according to the order of Melchisedek.

mnt@Hebrews:5:11 @ Concerning him I have much to say, and much that is hard to make clear to you, because you have grown dull of hearing.

mnt@Hebrews:5:12 @ And this too, although you ought by this time to be teaching others, you are still needing some one to teach you the very rudiments of divine revelation. You need milk, not solid food.

mnt@Hebrews:5:14 @ But solid food is for adults, that is, for those who by constant practise have their faculties trained to discriminate between good and evil.

mnt@Hebrews:6:1 @ So let us get beyond the teaching of the elementary doctrines of Christ, and let us be borne along toward what is mature. Let us not be continually laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works,

mnt@Hebrews:6:6 @ and then fallen away, it is impossible to renew them again unto repentance. For they repeatedly crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and expose him to an open shame.

mnt@Hebrews:6:8 @ but if it produces thorns and thistles, it is considered worthless, and is in danger of being cursed, and its end will be to be burned.

mnt@Hebrews:6:10 @ For God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you showed for his cause, in sending help to your fellow Christians, as you are still doing.

mnt@Hebrews:6:11 @ but I am longing that each of you continue to show the same diligence to realize the fulness of your hope, even to the end.

mnt@Hebrews:6:12 @ Then do not become slack, but be imitators of those who through faith and patience are inheriting the promises.

mnt@Hebrews:6:13 @ For when God make the promise to Abraham, since he could swear by none greater, he swore by himself, saying.

mnt@Hebrews:6:16 @ I am referring to the oath because men swear by what is greater than themselves, and in every dispute of theirs the oath is final for confirmation.

mnt@Hebrews:6:17 @ On which principle God, wishing to show more convincingly to the heirs of the promise the immutability of his purpose, mediated with an oath;

mnt@Hebrews:6:18 @ that by means of two immutable things - his promise and his oath - in which it is impossible for God to break faith, we refugees may have strong encouragement to grasp the hope set before us.

mnt@Hebrews:6:19 @ This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, secure and strong, and passing into the sanctuary which is beyond the veil;

mnt@Hebrews:7:2 @ and it was to him that Abraham apportioned a tithe of all the spoil. He was first, as his name signifies, King of righteousness, and then King of Salem, that is, King of Peace;

mnt@Hebrews:7:4 @ But observe how great this man was, to whom even Abraham, the Patriarch, gave a tenth part of the spoils.

mnt@Hebrews:7:5 @ Now those of the sons of Levi who are appointed to the priesthood, are authorized by the Law to take tithes of the people, that is, of their brothers, and that too, although these are descended from Abraham.

mnt@Hebrews:7:6 @ But this man who had no Levitical genealogy actually took tithes of Abraham, and blessed him to whom the promises belong.

mnt@Hebrews:7:9 @ And even Levi, who is the receiver of tithes, so to speak, paid tithes through Abraham;

mnt@Hebrews:7:11 @ Now if there were perfection through the Levitical priesthood, (and it was under it that the people received the Law) why was it still necessary for another kind of priest to arise, after the order of Melchisedek, instead of being reckoned according to the order of Aaron?

mnt@Hebrews:7:13 @ He who is thus described belonged to another tribe, not one member of which has ever served at the altar.

mnt@Hebrews:7:16 @ who has become such, not according to the law of a transitory enactment, but according to the energy of an indissoluble life.

mnt@Hebrews:7:19 @ (for the Law brought nothing to perfection); and there is the bringing in of a better hope by which we draw near to God;

mnt@Hebrews:7:21 @ For although those priests became such without an oath, He had an oath form God who said to him, The Lord hath sworn and will not change, Thou art a priest forever.

mnt@Hebrews:7:22 @ And by so much Jesus becomes the guarantor of a better covenant.

mnt@Hebrews:7:25 @ Hence also he is able to continue saving to the uttermost those who are ever drawing near to God through him, seeing that he is ever living to intercede for them.

mnt@Hebrews:7:27 @ one who has no need, like the high priests, to offer up daily sacrifices, first for his own sins, then for those of the people. For his sacrifice was made once for all, when he offered up himself.

mnt@Hebrews:7:28 @ For the Law appoints human beings to be high priests, men with all their weakness; but the word of the oath, which was later than the Law, appoints a Son, perfected forevermore.

mnt@Hebrews:8:3 @ For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices; whence it follows that this High Priest also must have some offering to make.

mnt@Hebrews:8:4 @ Now were he on earth, he would not even be a priest, since there are here those who present the gifts according to the Law -

mnt@Hebrews:8:5 @ those priests who serve a mere outline and shadow of the heavenly reality, just as Moses was divinely instructed when he was about to build the Tabernacle. "See", he says, "that you make everything on the pattern showed you on the mountain."

mnt@Hebrews:8:6 @ But Jesus has obtained a better ministry, by so much as he is also Mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted upon better promises.

mnt@Hebrews:8:9 @ Not according tot he covenant which I made with their forefathers, On the day when I took them by the hand to lead them forth out of the land of Egypt; For they did not continue in my covenant, And therefore I disregarded them," says the Lord.

mnt@Hebrews:8:10 @ "For this is the covenant which I will covenant with the house of Israel, After these days," says the Lord; "I will put my laws into their minds, And upon their hearts will I write them; And I will be their God, And they shall be my people;

mnt@Hebrews:8:11 @ And they shall not teach every man his fellow citizen, And every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord; For all shall know me, From the least to the greatest of them.

mnt@Hebrews:8:13 @ By calling the covenant "new," He has made the first one obsolete; and whatever is becoming obsolete and aged, is near to vanishing.

mnt@Hebrews:9:6 @ Such then were the arrangements. Into the outer tent the priests enter continually in the performance of their duties;

mnt@Hebrews:9:7 @ but into the inner tent the high priest only goes alone, once a year, and that not without blood, which he offers for himself and for the ignorances of the people.

mnt@Hebrews:9:8 @ The Holy Spirit teaching by this that the way into the Holiest has not yet been disclosed while the first tent is still standing.

mnt@Hebrews:9:9 @ This is a parable, for the present time, according to which gifts and sacrifices are offered that are not able, as far as conscience is concerned, to perfect the worshiper;

mnt@Hebrews:9:11 @ But when Christ came, a High Priest of good things to come, he passed through the greater and more perfect tent not made with hands, that is to say, not of this material creation,

mnt@Hebrews:9:12 @ not taking the blood of goats and oxen, but his own blood, and entered once for all into the Holy Place, obtaining for us an eternal redemption.

mnt@Hebrews:9:13 @ For if the blood of bulls and goats and the ashes of a heifer sprinkled on those who have been defiled, sanctify to the cleansing of the flesh,

mnt@Hebrews:9:14 @ how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through his eternal spirit offered himself free from blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works unto the service of an ever-living God!

mnt@Hebrews:9:15 @ And because of this he is the Mediator of a new testament, in order that, since a death has taken place to atone for offenses committed under the first testament, those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.

mnt@Hebrews:9:16 @ For where there is a testament, there must also be brought forward in evidence the death of the testator.

mnt@Hebrews:9:17 @ For a testament is only of force in case of the dead, being never valid so long as the testator lives.

mnt@Hebrews:9:19 @ For after every commandment according to the law had been spoken by Moses to the people, he took the blood of calves and goats, and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people.

mnt@Hebrews:9:20 @ saying, This is the blood of that testament which God commanded in regard to you.

mnt@Hebrews:9:21 @ Moreover the tabernacle and all the vessels of service he sprinkled likewise, and indeed, according to the Law,

mnt@Hebrews:9:24 @ For it was not into a Sanctuary made by hands, a mere type of the reality, that Christ entered, but he entered into heaven itself, now to appear in the very presence of God on our behalf.

mnt@Hebrews:9:25 @ Nor did he enter to offer himself repeatedly, as the high priest entered into the sanctuary, year after year, with blood that was not his own; (for in that case he would have needed to suffer repeatedly, ever since the foundation of the world;)but now, once for all, at the end of the ages, he has appeared to abolish sin, but the offering of himself.

mnt@Hebrews:9:27 @ And since it is appointed to men once to die, and after that the judgment;

mnt@Hebrews:9:28 @ so also the Christ, after being once for all offered to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, without sin, to those who wait for him for salvation.

mnt@Hebrews:10:1 @ For the Law, being only a shadow of the good things to come, and not their very substance, its priests cannot with the same sacrifice which year after year they offer continually, make perfect those who draw near.

mnt@Hebrews:10:2 @ Otherwise would they not have ceased to be offered? Because the worshippers having been once cleansed, would have had no more consciousness of sin.

mnt@Hebrews:10:3 @ But on the other hand, in these sacrifices sins are called to memory, year after year.

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

mnt@Hebrews:10:5 @ It is for this reason that the Christ, on coming into the world, declared. Sacrifice and offerings thou dost not desire, But a body didst thou prepare for me;

mnt@Hebrews:10:7 @ Then I said, "I am come - in the roll of the book it is written of me- -To do thy will, O God."

mnt@Hebrews:10:9 @ (offerings regularly made under the law), and then it is added, Lo, I come to do thy will, he does away with the first, in order that he may establish the second.

mnt@Hebrews:10:13 @ henceforth waiting until his enemies be put as the footstool of his feet.

mnt@Hebrews:10:19 @ Since, then, we have a cheerful confidence, brothers, to enter into the Holiest by the blood of Jesus,

mnt@Hebrews:10:24 @ and let us consider one another, to provoke unto love and good works;

mnt@Hebrews:10:25 @ not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the custom of some, but exhorting one another; all the more as you behold the Day drawing near.

mnt@Hebrews:10:27 @ but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a fiery indignation which is about to devour the adversaries.

mnt@Hebrews:10:28 @ Any one who set at naught the law of Moses was put to death without pity, on the testimony of two or three witnesses.

mnt@Hebrews:10:29 @ How much surer, think you, will be the punishment of one who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and has profaned that covenant blood with which he was sanctified, and has done despite to the spirit of grace?

mnt@Hebrews:10:31 @ IT IS A FEARFUL THING TO FALL INTO THE HANDS OF THE LIVING GOD!

mnt@Hebrews:10:32 @ But ever call to mind the former days, in which, after having been enlightened, you endured a great conflict of sufferings;

mnt@Hebrews:10:39 @ "But we are not of defections unto perdition, but of faith unto the gaining of the soul."

mnt@Hebrews:11:1 @ Now faith is the title-deed of things hoped for; the putting to the proof of things not seen.

mnt@Hebrews:11:2 @ For by it men of old times had witness borne to them.

mnt@Hebrews:11:4 @ By faith Abel offered to God a sacrifice more acceptable than that of Cain, through which he had witness borne to him that he was righteous, God giving the testimony by accepting his gifts; and through it he, although he is dead, still speaks.

mnt@Hebrews:11:5 @ By faith Enoch was translated so that he should not see death; and he was not found, because God had translated him. Before his translation he had witness borne to him that he pleased God.

mnt@Hebrews:11:6 @ now without faith it is impossible to please him; for he who comes to God must believe that he is, and that he ever rewards those who are seeking.

mnt@Hebrews:11:8 @ By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out unto a place which he was to receive for an inheritance; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.

mnt@Hebrews:11:11 @ By faith even Sarah herself received power to conceive seed, although she was past the age for child-bearing, because she counted Him faithful who had promised;

mnt@Hebrews:11:15 @ And if they had cherished the memory of that land from which they went out, they would have found an opportunity to return;

mnt@Hebrews:11:16 @ but now they are longing for a better homeland, that is, a heavenly. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God; and he has prepared a city for them.

mnt@Hebrews:11:17 @ By faith Abraham, when he was put to the test, was on the point of offering up Isaac; yes, he who had received the promise was about to offer up his only son,

mnt@Hebrews:11:19 @ For he accounted God able even to raise from the dead, from whence, figuratively speaking, he did indeed receive him back again.

mnt@Hebrews:11:20 @ By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau, even concerning things to come.

mnt@Hebrews:11:21 @ By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of Josephs sons, and worshiped, leaning on the top of his staff.

mnt@Hebrews:11:22 @ By faith Joseph, when his end was nigh, made mention of the exodus of the children of Israel, and gave instructions in regard to his bones.

mnt@Hebrews:11:24 @ By faith Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaohs daughter,

mnt@Hebrews:11:25 @ choosing rather to share ill-treatment with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season.

mnt@Hebrews:11:26 @ He accounted the obloquy of Christ to be greater than the treasures of Egypt; for he fixed his eyes on the reward.

mnt@Hebrews:11:28 @ By faith he established the Passover, and the sprinkling with blood, in order that the Destroying Angel might not touch the firstborn.

mnt@Hebrews:11:29 @ By faith the people crossed over the Red Sea as on dry land; and when the Egyptians tried to do this they were swallowed up.

mnt@Hebrews:11:32 @ And what more shall I say? for time would fail me to tell of Gideon, of Barak, of Samson, and of Jeptha; of David and Samuel and the prophets,

mnt@Hebrews:11:33 @ who through faith conquered kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,

mnt@Hebrews:11:37 @ They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, they were tempted, they were slain with the sword, they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins, being destitute, persecuted, tormented -

mnt@Hebrews:11:39 @ Yet, though these all had witness borne to them by their faith, they received not the promise;

mnt@Hebrews:11:40 @ since it was for us that God had in store some better thing, so that apart from us they should not be perfected.

mnt@Hebrews:12:2 @ looking unto Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured a cross, despising shame, and has now taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of God.

mnt@Hebrews:12:4 @ Not yet have you resisted unto blood in your fight against sin;

mnt@Hebrews:12:9 @ Furthermore, our earthly fathers used to discipline us, and we gave them reverence. Shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of spirits, and live?

mnt@Hebrews:12:10 @ For they only disciplined us for a few days, as seemed good to them; but he does it for our profit, that we may share his holiness.

mnt@Hebrews:12:11 @ Now no discipline seems for the present to be joyous, but grievous; but afterward it yields the peaceable fruits of righteousness to those who have been trained under it.

mnt@Hebrews:12:15 @ Look carefully that there be no one who falls back from the grace of God; that no root of bitterness springs up to trouble you, and by its means many become defiled.

mnt@Hebrews:12:16 @ Take care lest there be any fornicator or scorner like Esau among you, who for one meal sold his birthright.

mnt@Hebrews:12:17 @ For you know that even when he afterward desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected; he found no room for repentance, though he sought it earnestly, with tears.

mnt@Hebrews:12:18 @ For you are not come to a palpable and enkindled fire,

mnt@Hebrews:12:19 @ nor to gloom and darkness and tempest and the blare of a trumpet and an audible voice. Those who heard that voice entreated that no word more should be spoken to them.

mnt@Hebrews:12:20 @ For they could not endure that which was enjoined, Even if a wild beast touches the mountain it shall be stoned to death;

mnt@Hebrews:12:22 @ On the contrary you are come to Mount Zion, the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to innumerable hosts of angels,

mnt@Hebrews:13:9 @ Do not allow yourselves to be swept away by various and strange teachings. For it is a beautiful thing to be established in heart by grace, and not by regulations regarding food, from which those that occupied themselves with them have derived no benefit.

mnt@Hebrews:13:10 @ We Christians have an altar from which those have no right to eat who minister in the Tabernacle.

mnt@Hebrews:13:11 @ For the bodies of the animals whose blood is carried by the High Priest into the Holy Place are burned outside the camp,

mnt@Hebrews:13:12 @ and so Jesus suffered outside the gate in order to sanctify the people by his own blood.

mnt@Hebrews:13:13 @ Let us then go forth to him outside the camp, bearing his reproach.

mnt@Hebrews:13:14 @ For we have not here an abiding city, but we are earnestly seeking the city that is to be.

mnt@Hebrews:13:15 @ In his name, then, let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is the fruit of lips that confess his name.

mnt@Hebrews:13:16 @ And forget not to be kind and liberal; for with that sort of sacrifice God is well pleased.

mnt@Hebrews:13:17 @ Obey your leaders and submit to them; for they are keeping watch over your souls, as those who must give account; that they may do thus with joy and not with lamentation, for this would be unprofitable to you.

mnt@Hebrews:13:18 @ Keep on praying for me. I am persuaded that I have a clear conscience, and I desire in every way to live nobly.

mnt@Hebrews:13:21 @ equip you in every good deed for the doing of his will, doing in you what is well-pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory unto the ages of the ages! Amen!

mnt@Hebrews:13:22 @ But I entreat you, brothers, bear with my word of exhortation, for I have written to you briefly.

mnt@James:1:1 @ James, a slave of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, sends greeting to the twelve tribes that are scattered abroad.

mnt@James:1:5 @ If any one of you is lacking in wisdom, let him ask it from the God who gives to all men freely and without upbraiding; and it will be given to him.

mnt@James:1:6 @ But let him ask in faith, without wavering; for he who wavers is like a surge of the sea, wind-driven and tossed.

mnt@James:1:12 @ Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love him.

mnt@James:1:15 @ Then lust conceives and gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is mature, brings forth death.

mnt@James:1:17 @ Every good gift and every perfect boon is from above, and is ever coming down to us from the Father of the heavenly lights, with whom is no variation nor shadow of eclipse.

mnt@James:1:21 @ So strip off all filthiness and superfluity of wickedness, and in meekness receive the implanted Word, which is able to save your souls.

mnt@James:1:25 @ But the man who looks closely into the perfect law - the law of liberty - and continues looking, this man will be blessed in his deed because he is not a hearer who forgets, but a doer who does.

mnt@James:1:26 @ If a man thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not bridle his tongue, but deceives his own religion,

mnt@James:1:27 @ and undefiled before our God and Father, to look after orphans and widows in their affliction, and ever to keep himself unspotted from the world.

mnt@James:2:2 @ Suppose a man comes into your synagogue with a gold ring and dazzling clothes, and suppose a poor man comes in, also, in shabby clothes,

mnt@James:2:3 @ and you look up to him who wears the fine clothing, and say to him, "Sit here in this fine place!" and to the poor man you say, "Stand there!" or "Sit on the floor at my feet!"

mnt@James:2:5 @ Listen, my dear brothers, has not God chosen the poor of this world to be rich in faith, and to inherit the kingdom which he has promised to those who love him?

mnt@James:2:6 @ But you have dishonored the poor man. Do not the rich oppress you and drag you to court?

mnt@James:2:12 @ So speak and act like men who are to be judged by the law of liberty.

mnt@James:2:13 @ For judgment is without mercy to the man who has showed no mercy. but mercy glories in the face of judgment.

mnt@James:2:16 @ and one of you says to them, "Depart in peace, find warmth and food for yourselves," but at the same time you do not give the necessaries of the body, what good would that do them?

mnt@James:2:20 @ But do you want to be convinced, O foolish man, that faith apart from deeds is barren?

mnt@James:2:21 @ Was not Abraham our ancestor justified by deeds, in that he offered up Isaac, his son, upon the altar?

mnt@James:2:23 @ And the Scripture was fulfilled which said, And Abraham believed God, and this was imputed to him as righteousness, and he was called Gods friend.

mnt@James:3:2 @ For in many respects we often stumble. If any man never stumbles in speech, the same is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body as well.

mnt@James:3:3 @ When we put bits in the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we control their whole body also.

mnt@James:3:4 @ Look at the ships too, though they are so large, even when driven by fierce winds they are turned by a very small rudder, wherever the impulse of the helmsman wills.

mnt@James:3:5 @ So also the tongue is a small member and makes great boasts. Behold, how great a forest is set on fire by a little spark!

mnt@James:3:6 @ And the tongue is a fire; it is a very world of iniquity among our members, defiling the whole body, and setting on fire the wheel of nature, and is itself set on fire by hell.

mnt@James:3:8 @ no man can tame the tongue, restless evil that it is, full of deadly poison.

mnt@James:3:9 @ With it we continually bless our Lord and Father, and with it we are accustomed to curse men made in the image of God.

mnt@James:3:10 @ From out of the same mouth pour forth blessings and cursings! My brothers, this ought not to be so.

mnt@James:3:14 @ But if you have bitter jealousy and faction in your heart, do not be boasting of that, and be false to the truth.

mnt@James:3:17 @ But the wisdom which comes from on high is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, conciliatory, overflowing with mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without insincerity.

mnt@James:4:3 @ You continue to ask and do not receive, because you are asking with a wrong purpose, in order to spend it upon your pleasures.

mnt@James:4:4 @ You adulteresses, do you not know that the friendship of the world is enmity to God? Whoever, then, desires to be a friend of the world, makes himself and enemy of God.

mnt@James:4:5 @ Or do you suppose that it is in vain that the Scripture says, "The spirit which has its home in us yearns over us unto jealousy?"

mnt@James:4:6 @ But he gives more and more grace. therefore it is said, God ever resists the proud; but to the humble he gives grace continually.

mnt@James:4:7 @ So then ever be subject to God, Ever resist the devil and he will flee from you.

mnt@James:4:8 @ Draw near to God And he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, And purify your hearts, you double-minded.

mnt@James:4:9 @ Lament and mourn, and weep aloud! Let your laughter be turned into mourning, And your joy into gloom!

mnt@James:4:12 @ But One is your Lawgiver and Judge - he who is able to save and to destroy. But you, who are you, to be condemning your neighbor?

mnt@James:4:13 @ Go to now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we shall journey to such a city and spend a year there, and trade and make money,"

mnt@James:4:15 @ You ought instead to say, "If the Lord wills it, we shall live and do this or that."

mnt@James:4:17 @ So to him who knows how to do right and does not do it, to him it is sin.

mnt@James:5:1 @ Go to now, you rich men! Weep aloud, howl for the miseries which are about to come upon you!

mnt@James:5:3 @ Your gold and silver are rusted. and their rust will be for a testimony against you, and it will eat your flesh. For you have been storing up fire in these last days!

mnt@James:5:4 @ Look! the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you have been keeping back by fraud, are crying aloud! And the cries of the reapers have entered into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth!

mnt@James:5:14 @ Is any in good spirits? Let him sing unto his harp. Is any one of you ill? Let him send for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, after anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord;

mnt@James:5:15 @ and the prayer of faith will restore the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, it will be forgiven him.

mnt@James:5:16 @ So confess your sins one to another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. For the fervent prayer of a righteous man is mighty in its working.

mnt@1Peter:1:12 @ It was revealed to them that it was not for themselves, but for you, that they were ministering the truths which have now been announced to you, by those who preached the gospel to you, through the help of the Holy Spirit sent forth from heaven - truths into which angels long to look.

mnt@1Peter:1:13 @ So then brace up your minds, be steady in spirit, and fix your hope firmly in the grace that is coming to you, at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

mnt@1Peter:1:14 @ Like obedient children, do not fashion yourselves according to the former passions of your days of ignorance,

mnt@1Peter:1:17 @ And since you call upon him as Father, who impartially judges each one according to his deeds, pass the time of your sojourning here in reverence.

mnt@1Peter:1:18 @ For you well know that not with perishable things, with silver or gold, were you redeemed from the emptiness of your manner of life, received by tradition from your ancestors;

mnt@1Peter:1:22 @ Now that by obedience to the truth you have purified your lives for a brotherly love without hypocrisy, you must love one another from your hearts, fervently.

mnt@1Peter:1:25 @ But the word of the Lord abides forever. And this is the word of the gospel which has been told to you.

mnt@1Peter:3:18 @ because Christ also once for all suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God. He was put to death in the flesh, but make alive in spirit.

mnt@1Peter:3:19 @ (It was in spirit that he went and preached the Word to the spirits who were in prison,

mnt@1Peter:3:21 @ Baptism, the counterpart of that, now saves you (not the washing off of the filth of the flesh, but the prayer for a good conscience toward God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

mnt@1Peter:3:22 @ He is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; to Him angels and authorities and powers have been made subject.

mnt@1Peter:4:2 @ so that in future you may not spend your life in the flesh according to mens desires, but in the will of God.

mnt@1Peter:4:3 @ For the time past of life may suffice us to have worked the will of the Gentiles, when we spent our life in lasciviousness, lusts, hard drinking, revelry, banqueting, and abominable idol worship.

mnt@1Peter:4:4 @ They are astonished at this, that you do not run into the same excesses of profligacy as they do; and they speak evil of you.

mnt@1Peter:4:5 @ But they must render account to Him who stands ready to judge the living and the dead.

mnt@1Peter:4:6 @ The gospel was preached for this cause to those who were dead also, that they might be judged according to men in flesh, but live according to God in spirit.

mnt@1Peter:4:8 @ Above everything have fervent love to one another; for love veils a multitude of sins.

mnt@1Peter:4:9 @ Be hospitable to one another, without grudging.

mnt@1Peter:4:11 @ If any one preaches, let him always preach as one who utters Gods truth; if any one serves another, let it be with the strength which God supplies; so that in every way God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory and dominion for ever and ever, Amen.

mnt@1Peter:4:12 @ Do not think it strange, beloved, that a fiery ordeal has come to test you, as though some surprising thing had befallen you.

mnt@1Peter:4:13 @ But be glad in the degree in which you share in the sufferings of Christ; so that when his glory shall be revealed, you too may be glad with triumphant gladness.

mnt@1Peter:4:17 @ It is time for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it first begin with us, what shall be the end of those who are disobedient to the gospel?

mnt@1Peter:4:19 @ So let those who are suffering according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well-doing, as unto a faithful Creator.

mnt@1Peter:5:1 @ Now to you who are presbyters I make this appeal; for I am myself a presbyter, and was a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory about to be revealed.

mnt@1Peter:5:2 @ Be shepherds to your flock of God; take charge of them willingly, and not through compulsion; not for filthy lucre, but with a willing mind;

mnt@1Peter:5:3 @ not by way of lording it over your heritage, but by becoming examples to the flock.

mnt@1Peter:5:4 @ Then, when the Chief Shepherd shall appear, you too will receive the fadeless wreath of glory.

mnt@1Peter:5:5 @ You younger men must submit to the presbyters; and all of you must put on the garment of humility and serve one another, for God resists the haughty, But gives grace to the humble.

mnt@1Peter:5:10 @ But the God of all grace, who has called us by Christ Jesus to share his eternal glory, will, after you have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.

mnt@1Peter:5:12 @ By Sylvanus, a faithful brother of yours, as I suppose, I have written you briefly, to comfort you, and to testify that this is the true grace of God. In this stand fast.

mnt@1Peter:5:14 @ Salute one another with a kiss of love. Peace be to you all who are in Christ Jesus.

mnt@2Peter:1:1 @ Simon Peter, a slave and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained an equally precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ.

mnt@2Peter:1:2 @ Grace and peace be multiplied to you by the God and Father of Jesus our Lord.

mnt@2Peter:1:3 @ For his power divine has granted to us everything needful for life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and virtue.

mnt@2Peter:1:4 @ By these he has granted his promises to us, precious and splendid; so that through them you may become partners of the divine nature, now that you have escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

mnt@2Peter:1:5 @ For this very reason do your best to add to your faith manliness, and to manliness knowledge,

mnt@2Peter:1:6 @ and to knowledge self-control, and to self-control stedfastness, and to stedfastness piety,

mnt@2Peter:1:7 @ and to piety brotherly love, and to brotherly love, love itself.

mnt@2Peter:1:8 @ For if these virtues are yours in abounding measure, they render you not idle nor unfruitful, until you come into the full knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

mnt@2Peter:1:10 @ So, brothers, take diligent care to make your calling and election sure; for if you do this, you will never stumble.

mnt@2Peter:1:11 @ For so the entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ will be richly supplied to you.

mnt@2Peter:1:12 @ I shall therefore be always ready to remind you of all this, even though you know it, and are firmly founded in the truth which is with you.

mnt@2Peter:1:13 @ So I think it right, as long as I am in this "tent," to rouse you by way of reminding you,

mnt@2Peter:1:14 @ since I know that the time for me to strike tent comes swiftly on, even as our Lord Jesus Christ pointed out to me.

mnt@2Peter:1:15 @ So I will do my best to enable you, even after my departure, continually to call these things to mind.

mnt@2Peter:1:16 @ For we were not following cunningly devised fables, when we told you of the power and presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we had been eye-witnesses of his Majesty.

mnt@2Peter:1:17 @ For he did receive honor and glory from God the Father, when there was borne such a voice to him from the Majestic Glory, This is my Son, my Beloved, in whom I delight;

mnt@2Peter:1:18 @ and this voice we ourselves heard, borne to us out of heaven, when we were with him on the holy hill.

mnt@2Peter:1:19 @ And so we possess the word of prophecy made yet more sure. Unto this you do well to give heed as to a lamp shining in a dark place, till the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.

mnt@2Peter:2:1 @ But there were false prophets, too, among the people, just as among you also there will be false teachers. These will secretly bring in destructive sects, denying even the Master who bought them, and bringing swift ruin upon themselves.

mnt@2Peter:2:3 @ In their covetousness, with cunning words, they will make merchandise of you; those whose doom has not been idle from of old, and whose destruction has not been slumbering.

mnt@2Peter:2:4 @ For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them down to Tartarus, and committed them to chains of darkness, and reserved them for judgment;

mnt@2Peter:2:6 @ if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah and reduced them to ashes, thus holding them up as a warning to all who would live ungodly;

mnt@2Peter:2:8 @ (for that righteous man, living among them, tormented his righteous soul in seeing and hearing, day after day, their lawless deeds),

mnt@2Peter:2:9 @ then be sure that the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptation, and to keep the wicked (who are even now enduring punishment) for the "Day of Judgment";

mnt@2Peter:2:12 @ But these men, like irrational creatures, mere animals, born to be taken and destroyed, continually rail about matters of which they know nothing. In their corruption they will surely be destroyed,

mnt@2Peter:2:13 @ suffering wrong as the wage of wrong which they have done. These are men who count it pleasure to carouse in open daylight; they are spots and blemishes reveling in their deceit, even while they are feasting with you.

mnt@2Peter:2:14 @ They have eyes full of harlots, eyes that cannot stop sinning. They entice unsteady souls. Their heart is trained in greed. They are an accursed generation.

mnt@2Peter:2:16 @ He was, however, rebuked for his own transgression; a dumb ass spoke with a mans voice, and stopped the madness of the prophet.

mnt@2Peter:2:17 @ Such men are like waterless springs, or mists storm-driven; for them the blackness of darkness has been reserved.

mnt@2Peter:2:18 @ For speaking great swelling words of vanity, they entangle, by their lasciviousness, in the lusts of the flesh, those who are just about to escape from the men that live in misconduct.

mnt@2Peter:2:21 @ Indeed it would have been better for them not to have known the Way of Righteousness, than, after knowing it, to turn back from the holy command delivered to them.

mnt@2Peter:2:22 @ In their case it has happened according to the true proverb, The dog returns again to his own vomit, and The sow, after washing, to her wallowing in the mire.

mnt@2Peter:3:1 @ This is now my second letter to you, beloved. In both of them I am stirring up your pure minds by putting you in remembrance.

mnt@2Peter:3:2 @ I want you to recollect the words that were foretold by the holy prophets, and the command of your Lord and Saviour, given you through your apostles.

mnt@2Peter:3:9 @ The Lord does not loiter over his promise, as some men esteem loitering; but he is longsuffering toward you, not purposing that any should perish, but that all should pass on to repentance.

mnt@2Peter:3:11 @ Now since all things are in the process of dissolution, what kind of men ought you to be, in all holy living and piety;

mnt@2Peter:3:13 @ But according to his promise, we are looking for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness makes her dwelling.

mnt@2Peter:3:15 @ Regard our Lords longsuffering as salvation; even as our dear brother Paul also wrote to you, according to the wisdom given to him.

mnt@2Peter:3:16 @ It is the same in all his letters when he speaks of these things. There are indeed some things in his letters hard to understand, which the ignorant and the shifty wrest, as also they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.

mnt@2Peter:3:18 @ But grow continually in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and unto the Day of Eternity, Amen.

mnt@1John:1:1 @ It is of what has existed from the beginning, of what we have listened to, of what we have seen with our own eyes, of what we have witnessed and touched with our own heads, it is concerning the Logos of Life that we are now writing.

mnt@1John:1:2 @ And the Life was made visible, and we have seen it and are bearing witness, and are bringing you word of that Eternal Life which was face to face with the Father and was made visible to us.

mnt@1John:1:3 @ It is what we have seen and heard that we are announcing to you, in order that you also may have partnership with us; and our partnership is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ.

mnt@1John:1:4 @ And we are writing all this to you that our joy may be complete.

mnt@1John:1:5 @ This, then, is the message that we have heard from him, and are announcing to you, that God is light, and no darkness what ever is in him.

mnt@1John:1:9 @ But if we confess our sins, faithful is he and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all wrong-doing.

mnt@1John:2:1 @ My children, I am writing this to you that you may not continue to sin; but if any one sin, we ever have a Comforter before the Father, Jesus Christ the Righteous.

mnt@1John:2:3 @ This is how we may know that we have come to know Him, by always keeping his commandments.

mnt@1John:2:5 @ and the truth is not in him; bit if any man obey his word, in him truly is the love of God made perfect. By this we come to know that we are in him.

mnt@1John:2:6 @ By who says he "remains in him" ought to spend his life as he spent his.

mnt@1John:2:7 @ Beloved, I am not writing a new commandment to you, nay, and old commandment, which you have had from the beginning. That old commandment is the message to which you have listened.

mnt@1John:2:8 @ Yet again it is a new commandment which I am writing to you, which is true in him and is you; because the darkness is passing away, and the true light is already shining.

mnt@1John:2:12 @ I am writing to you, little children, because you sins are forgiven you for his names sake.

mnt@1John:2:13 @ I am writing to you, fathers, because you have come to know him who is from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have fully overcome the Evil One. I have written to you, little children, because you have learned to know the father.

mnt@1John:2:14 @ I have written to you, fathers, because you have learned to know him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God is abiding in you, and you have fully overcome the Evil One.

mnt@1John:2:19 @ They came forth from us, but they did not belong to us. If they had belonged to us they would certainly have remained with us, but they went out that they might be manifest that they all are not of us.

mnt@1John:2:21 @ I am not writing to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it, and know that no lie is of the truth.

mnt@1John:2:25 @ And this is the promise which he has promised to us even life eternal.

mnt@1John:2:26 @ I have written this to you concerning those who would lead you astray.

mnt@1John:2:27 @ As to you, the unction you received from him remains ever in you, and you need no teaching from any one. But since his unction teaches you concerning all things and is true, and is no lie, abide continually in him, as it has taught you to do.

mnt@1John:2:28 @ And now continue to abide in him, my children, so that when he shall appear we may have cheerful confidence and not be ashamed before him at his coming.

mnt@1John:3:1 @ Behold what manner of love the Father has given us in allowing us to be called "Children of God!" And that is what we are. For this reason the world does not recognize us, because it did not know him.

mnt@1John:3:5 @ And you know that he was manifested to take away sins; and in him is no sin.

mnt@1John:3:6 @ Whoever continually abides in him does not habitually sin; whoever lives in sin has not seen him, nor come to know him.

mnt@1John:3:11 @ For this is the message that you have listened to from the beginning, "WE ARE TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER."

mnt@1John:3:12 @ We are not to be like Cain, who belonged to the Evil One, and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? It was because his own deeds were evil, and his brothers, righteous.

mnt@1John:3:13 @ Do not wonder, brothers, if the world continues to hate you.

mnt@1John:3:14 @ We know that we have migrated, out of death into life, because we love our brothers. He who has no love is abiding in death.

mnt@1John:3:16 @ By this we learn to know love, because he laid down his life for us; so we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.

mnt@1John:3:17 @ But whoever has this worlds goods, and beholds his brother in need, and shuts up his heart against him, how can the love of God continue to abide in him?

mnt@1John:3:19 @ By this we shall come to know that we are really of the truth,

mnt@1John:3:21 @ Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, we have confidence toward God,

mnt@1John:3:23 @ His commandment is this, that we should believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another as he has commanded us to do.

mnt@1John:4:1 @ Do not believe every spirit, beloved, but test the spirits to see whether they are of God; for many false prophets are gone out into the world.

mnt@1John:4:5 @ They are of the world, and for this reason they speak as of the world, and the world listens to them.

mnt@1John:4:6 @ But you are of God. He who is beginning to know God listens to us; he who is not of God does not listen to us. By this we may distinguish the spirit of truth from the spirit of error.

mnt@1John:4:9 @ In this was the love of God clearly shown toward us, by his sending his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him.

mnt@1John:4:10 @ In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be a propitiation for our sins.

mnt@1John:4:11 @ If God so loved us, beloved, we also ought to love one another.

mnt@1John:4:13 @ By this we come to know that we are abiding in him, and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit;

mnt@1John:4:14 @ and we have beheld and do testify that the Father has sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.

mnt@1John:4:18 @ Fear does not exist in love; but love, when it is perfect, drives out fear. For fear has always torment, and he who has fear is not yet perfected in love.

mnt@1John:4:21 @ And we have this command from God. HE WHO LOVES GOD IS TO LOVE HIS BROTHER ALSO.

mnt@1John:5:3 @ For love to God means obeying his commandments; and his commandments are not irksome.

mnt@1John:5:4 @ For whoever is a child of God is overcoming the world; and our faith is the victory that has overcome the world.

mnt@1John:5:13 @ I have written these words to you so that you may know that you have eternal life, you who believe in the name of the Son of God.

mnt@1John:5:14 @ Now the confidence which we have in him is this, that he listens to us whenever we ask anything that is in accordance with his will.

mnt@1John:5:15 @ And if we know that he is listening to us in what ever we are asking, we know that we obtain the petitions which we have made to him.

mnt@1John:5:18 @ We know that whoever is a child of God is not habitually committing sin; but he who is Gods child guards himself, and the Evil One never touches him.

mnt@1John:5:20 @ And we know that the Son of God is come, and has granted us and understanding, so that we may come to know him who is true. And we are in him who is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and life eternal.

mnt@2John:1:1 @ The Elder to the Elect Lady and her children, whom I love in truth, and not only I, but also all those who have come to know the truth.

mnt@2John:1:4 @ I am greatly rejoiced to find some of your children leading their lives in truth, even as we received commandment from the Father.

mnt@2John:1:5 @ And now I am entreating you, Lady, not as though I were writing some new commandment to you, but one which we have had from the beginning, let us love one another.

mnt@2John:1:6 @ And this is love, that we should lead our lives according to his commandments. This is the commandment, even as you heard from the beginning, that you should pass your life in love.

mnt@2John:1:7 @ I say this because many deceivers are gone forth into the world, those who deny the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the Antichrist.

mnt@2John:1:10 @ If any one come to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house, nor give him any greeting.

mnt@2John:1:12 @ I have many things to write to you, but I would not write them with paper and ink. I hope to come to you and to talk with you face to face, so that your joy may be full.

mnt@3John:1:1 @ The Elder to the beloved Gaius, whom I love in the truth.

mnt@3John:1:3 @ For I was glad when brothers came and bore testimony to your truth, as indeed you are passing your life in truth.

mnt@3John:1:4 @ I have no greater joy than this, to hear that my children are passing their lives in the truth.

mnt@3John:1:6 @ They have borne testimony to your love before the church. You will do well to speed them on their way worthily of God;

mnt@3John:1:8 @ Hence we ought to support such, so that we may become fellow workers for the truth.

mnt@3John:1:9 @ I have written somewhat to the church; but Diotrephes, who love to take the lead among them, does not receive me.

mnt@3John:1:10 @ Do them when I come I will recall to mind the deeds which he is doing, prating against me with wicked words. Not satisfied with that, he refuses to receive the brothers, forbids those that would receive them, and excommunicates them from the church.

mnt@3John:1:12 @ All men bear testimony to Demetrius, and so does the truth itself. I also bear testimony to him; and you know that my testimony is true.

mnt@3John:1:13 @ I have a great deal to write to you, but I do not want to write you with pen and ink.

mnt@3John:1:14 @ I am hoping soon to see you, and then we shall talk face to face. Peace be to you! The friends send their salutation. Salute the friends by name.

mnt@Jude:1:1 @ Jude, a slave of Jesus Christ, and a brother of James. To those who are in God, the Father beloved, kept for Jesus Christ, and called.

mnt@Jude:1:2 @ May mercy and peace and love be multiplied to you.

mnt@Jude:1:3 @ Beloved, although I was making all haste to write to you in regard to our common salvation, I am compelled to write you an appeal to defend the faith once for all committed to the saints.

mnt@Jude:1:4 @ For certain men have crept in stealthily - men predestined in ancient prophecies for this condemnation - impious ones! They pervert the grace of our God into licentiousness, and deny Jesus Christ, our sole Master and Lord.

mnt@Jude:1:5 @ I wish to remind you of what you already know right well, that although the Lord once saved a people out of the land of Egypt, he afterward destroyed those who did not believe;

mnt@Jude:1:9 @ But Michael, the Archangel, when in contending with the devil, he was disputing about the body of Moses, did not dare to pronounce sentence for blasphemy, but said, "The Lord rebuke you."

mnt@Jude:1:11 @ Alas for them! They have walked in the path of Cain; for the sake of gain they have rushed headlong into Balaams error, and have perished in Korahs rebellion.

mnt@Jude:1:12 @ These are they who are stains upon your love-feasts; when they feast sumptuously without scruple, looking after none but themselves. They are clouds without water, driven along by the winds; trees of autumn, fruitless, doubly dead, torn up by the roots,

mnt@Jude:1:14 @ It was to these, too, that Enoch, the "seventh in descent from Adam," prophesied, saying, "Lo! the Lord is come with myriads of his saints,

mnt@Jude:1:15 @ to execute judgment upon all, and to convict all the ungodly of all the ungodly deeds which in their ungodliness they have committed; and of all the hard things which they have spoken against Him, ungodly sinners that they are!"

mnt@Jude:1:16 @ For these are murmurers, always complaining. They always go where their passions lead, and their mouth speaks great swelling words, while they pay court to men for the sake of the advantage they can get.

mnt@Jude:1:18 @ how they used to say to you, "In the last times there will be scoffers who will be led only by their godless passions."

mnt@Jude:1:24 @ Now unto Him who has power to guard you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of his glory, faultless and exultant,

mnt@Jude:1:25 @ to the only God, our Saviour, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be ascribed glory, majesty, might, and authority, as it was before time began, is now, and ever shall be to all the ages. Amen.
