Romans:1:3 @ The good news was about his Son. He is Jesus Christ our Lord. He was a man born in Davids family.
bwe@Romans:1:4 @ He came alive from death. That showed he was Gods Son. He had Gods power. Gods Holy Spirit did all this.
bwe@Romans:1:5 @ This same Jesus Christ was kind to me. And he made me an apostle. I am sent in his name so that people in all nations will obey him.
bwe@Romans:1:16 @ I am not ashamed of the good news of Jesus Christ. The good news is the power God uses to save every one who believes. The good news was for the Jews first, but also for those who are not Jews.
bwe@Romans:1:21 @ Even though they knew he was God, they did not worship him as God. They did not thank him. Their thoughts were no good. Their foolish minds became dark.
bwe@Romans:1:25 @ They would not believe what was true about God. They believed a lie. They worshipped and worked for something that was made by God. They did not worship God-God who made all things. He is the one to worship for ever. Amen. May it be so!
bwe@Romans:2:12 @ All those who do not know the law <FI>of God given to Moses<Fi> and did what was wrong, will die. But they will not be judged by the law. All those who know the law and did what was wrong will be judged by the law.
bwe@Romans:3:2 @ It is much better in every way. First, Gods law was given to the Jews.
bwe@Romans:3:25 @ God gave him as a sacrifice. When people believe in him, his blood pays for the wrong things they have done. This shows that God is good and right. He was right when he forgave the wrong things that people did long ago.
bwe@Romans:4:2 @ If Abraham was put right with God, because of what he did, he has something to be proud of. But he has nothing to be proud of when he stands before God.
bwe@Romans:4:3 @ What do the holy writings say? It says, Abraham believed God. And God said that he was a good man.
bwe@Romans:4:10 @ When did God say that? Was it when Abraham was circumcised? Or was it before? It was not when he was circumcised: it was before.
bwe@Romans:4:11 @ Abraham was circumcised as a sign. It was a sign that he was a good man, because he believed when he was not yet circumcised. That makes him the father of all people who believe, even those who are not circumcised. God says they are good people.
bwe@Romans:4:12 @ That makes him also the father of those who are circumcised. I mean people who are circumcised and do as our father Abraham did. Even when he was not circumcised, he believed.
bwe@Romans:4:13 @ God promised Abraham and his family that the world would belong to them. God did not make the promise because Abraham obeyed the law. But he made the promise because Abraham believed him and was put right with God.
bwe@Romans:4:17 @ the holy writings say, I have made you the father of many nations. Abraham was made the father of many nations by God. He believed God. He believed that God could make dead people live. He believed God when he said that things were true even though they had not happened yet.
bwe@Romans:4:18 @ Abraham believed and hoped, though there was nothing to give him hope. He believed that he would become the father of many nations. God had told him this would happen.
bwe@Romans:4:19 @ He did not stop believing when he thought about his own body. It was almost dead. He was about one hundred years old. He did not stop believing when he thought about Sarah, even though she had never given birth to any children.
bwe@Romans:4:21 @ He was sure that God was able to do what he had promised to do.
bwe@Romans:4:22 @ He was put right with God because he believed the promise.
bwe@Romans:4:25 @ He was killed because we did wrong things. He was raised from death in order that we might be made right with God.
bwe@Romans:5:14 @ Yet death ruled over people from Adams time to Moses time. It even ruled over the people who were not as wrong as Adam. Adam was like a person who would come later.
bwe@Romans:5:15 @ But the free gift is not like the wrong thing. Many people died because one man did a wrong thing. This is sure. God was very kind and he gave a free gift. This gift was given to many people because one man, Jesus Christ, did a very kind thing.
bwe@Romans:5:20 @ When the law came, it showed how wrong people really were. But when people were really bad, God was even more kind.
bwe@Romans:6:4 @ We were buried when he was buried because we were baptised into his death. Christ was raised from death by the wonderful power of the Father. So we also must live a new life.
bwe@Romans:6:6 @ We know this is true. The old person we used to be was nailed to the cross with him, so that our bodies which do wrong things would die. Then we will no longer be like slaves to the wrong things we used to do.
bwe@Romans:6:9 @ We know that Christ was raised from death and will not die again. Death has no power over him any more.
bwe@Romans:7:6 @ But now we have been made free from the law. We died, and so we are no longer slaves to the one who was our master. Now we are slaves to God in our new life. This new life is ruled by the Spirit. We do not work for the old written law.
bwe@Romans:7:10 @ The same law which was meant to make a person live, made me die.
bwe@Romans:8:3 @ God has done what the law could not do. The things people did made the law weak. God sent his own Son in a body of man. His body was like the bodies which others use to do wrong things. He sent him because people have done wrong things. And he judged the wrong things people have done in their bodies.
bwe@Romans:8:20 @ The world was spoiled. It did not want to be spoiled, but God allowed it.
bwe@Romans:8:34 @ Who will say they are not right? Jesus Christ died. Yes, he was raised from death. He is at the right side of God. And he talks to God for us.
bwe@Romans:9:4 @ The great men were their fathers. Christ was born a Jew. He is God over all. Praise him for ever! Yes, he is!
bwe@Romans:9:9 @ And that is not all. Rebecca also had children. Their father was Isaac, our father.
bwe@Romans:9:21 @ God has a right to be very angry if he wants to be. He has the right to show his power. God was very angry with some people who deserved to die. And yet he waited a long time before he did anything to them.
bwe@Romans:9:22 @ He did it to show how very great he is. He was kind to some people. He planned for them to be made great.
bwe@Romans:9:25 @ And in the very place where it was said to them, "You are not my people," they will be called "sons of the living God."
bwe@Romans:9:31 @ Why was that? They did not trust in God. They only trusted in doing the things of the law. They therefore hit their feet on the stone on which men hit their feet.
bwe@Romans:11:1 @ So I ask, has God left his people? No, he has not! I myself am a Jew. I was born in Abrahams family. I belong to the tribe of Benjamin.
bwe@Romans:11:5 @ So now some are left because God was kind to them, and chose them.
bwe@Romans:11:6 @ But if it was a gift because he was kind to them, then it was no longer because of the things they did. Or else a gift would no longer be a gift.
bwe@Romans:11:31 @ So now, they also have not obeyed him. But he will also be kind to them because he was kind to you.
bwe@Romans:14:22 @ Keep to yourself and God what you believe about these things. God blesses a man who does not feel he has done wrong when he did what he thought was right.
bwe@Romans:15:4 @ Everything that is in the holy writings was written to teach us. They give hope and strength when we have troubles. The holy writings comfort our hearts.
bwe@Romans:15:8 @ What I say is this. Christ came to serve the Jews. He did this to prove that what God said was true. He proved that God kept his promises to the fathers.
bwe@Romans:16:5 @ Give my greetings also to the church in their house. Give my greetings also to dear Epaenetus. He was the first person in Asia Minor to believe in Christ.
bwe@Romans:16:7 @ Give my greetings to Andronicus and Junia. They belong to my family. We were in prison together. The apostles think they are good men. They were Christians before I was.
bwe@Romans:16:25 @ Praise God! He is able to make you stand firm. That is the good news that I tell. That is what the message about Jesus Christ says. The message was kept secret for a long time in the past. But it has now been made known.
bwe@1Corinthians:1:13 @ Is Christ divided? Was Paul nailed to the cross for you? No! Were you baptized in Pauls name? No!
bwe@1Corinthians:2:2 @ I made up my mind that I would talk about only one thing while I was with you. That one thing was Jesus Christ and his death on a cross.
bwe@1Corinthians:2:3 @ I was weak, afraid, and trembling when I visited you.
bwe@1Corinthians:2:8 @ None of the rulers of this world knew about these things. If they had, they would not have killed on a cross the Lord who was full of Gods glory.
bwe@1Corinthians:4:7 @ If you are better, who made you that way? Everything you have was given to you. So then, why are you proud of it? Was it not given to you?
bwe@1Corinthians:6:11 @ Some of you were like that. But now you have been washed and made holy. The Spirit of our God has made you right by the name of the Lord Jesus.
bwe@1Corinthians:7:17 @ Only let me say this. Every man should go on living in the way which the Lord chooses for him. He should go on as he was when God called him to be a Christian. I say this to people in all the churches.
bwe@1Corinthians:7:18 @ If a man was already circumcised when God called him, he should not try to change the marks of it. If a man was not circumcised when God called him, he should not be circumcised.
bwe@1Corinthians:7:20 @ Everyone should stay the way he was when God called him.
bwe@1Corinthians:7:22 @ If a man was a slave when the Lord called him, he is the Lords free man. So also if a man was free when he was called, he is Christs slave.
bwe@1Corinthians:7:24 @ So, Christian brothers, everyone should go on living as he was when God called him. But now he lives with God.
bwe@1Corinthians:9:20 @ When I was with the Jews, I lived like the Jews, so that I might win the Jews to Christ. I was not under the law. But I lived as if I was under the law of the Jews. I did this so that I might win to Christ those who are under the law.
bwe@1Corinthians:9:21 @ When I was with those who do not have the law of the Jews, I lived as if I did not have the law of the Jews. I did this so that I might win them also. Of course, I myself have laws. I follow the laws of Christ.
bwe@1Corinthians:9:22 @ When I was with weak people, I lived like a weak person. I did this so that I might win weak people to Christ. I lived like all kinds of people to save some of them.
bwe@1Corinthians:9:26 @ So I do not run as if I did not know where I was going. And I do not fight like a man just beating the air.
bwe@1Corinthians:10:2 @ It was as if they were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea.
bwe@1Corinthians:10:4 @ They all drank the same water sent by the Spirit. The water they drank came from a Rock of the Spirit which went with them. That Rock was Christ.
bwe@1Corinthians:10:5 @ But God was not pleased with most of them. They died in the wilderness.
bwe@1Corinthians:11:7 @ A man does not need to cover his head because he was made like God is. Man is Gods glory. Woman is mans glory.
bwe@1Corinthians:11:8 @ Man was not made from woman, but woman was made from man.
bwe@1Corinthians:11:9 @ And man was not made for woman, but woman was made for man.
bwe@1Corinthians:11:23 @ The Lord gave me what I taught you. This is what it was. On the night when the Lord Jesus was sold to his enemies, he took bread.
bwe@1Corinthians:13:11 @ When I was a child, I talked like a child. I understood like a child. I thought like a child. But when I became a man, I stopped doing things like a child.
bwe@1Corinthians:15:3 @ I told you first what was told to me. I told you that Christ died for the wrong things we did, as the holy writings said.
bwe@1Corinthians:15:4 @ He was buried. He was raised on the third day, as the holy writings said.
bwe@1Corinthians:15:8 @ Last of all, I saw him too. I was like one who was born at the wrong time.
bwe@1Corinthians:15:10 @ But God has been kind to me. He has made me what I am today. And he did not bless me for nothing. I did more work than any of them. Yet it was not I, but the loving kindness of God was working with me.
bwe@1Corinthians:15:12 @ You have been told that Christ was raised from death. How can some of you say that dead people do not rise again?
bwe@1Corinthians:15:14 @ And if Christ did not rise, then what we told you was not true, and what you believe is not true.
bwe@1Corinthians:15:16 @ If dead people are not raised, then Christ was not raised either.
bwe@1Corinthians:15:17 @ If Christ was not raised, then what you believe is no good. Your wrong ways have not been forgiven.
bwe@1Corinthians:15:20 @ But Christ really has been raised from death. He was the first one to rise of all who have died.
bwe@1Corinthians:15:21 @ It was a man who first brought death. So it was also a man who was first raised from death.
bwe@1Corinthians:15:32 @ I fought against wild animals at Ephesus. If I was thinking only of life on earth, why did I do this? If dead people do not rise, then we might just as well say, Let us eat and drink because we will die tomorrow.
bwe@1Corinthians:15:45 @ The holy writings say, The first man, Adam, was of this world! The last Adam <FI>Christ<Fi> is a Spirit who gives life.
bwe@1Corinthians:15:47 @ The first man came from earth. He was made from the dust of the earth. The second Adam is the Lord from heaven.
bwe@2Corinthians:1:7 @ Brothers, we want you to know about the trouble we had in the country of Asia Minor. We were not strong enough to carry such a load of trouble. It was so heavy we thought we would die.
bwe@2Corinthians:1:8 @ Yes, we really felt our time had come to die. This was to make us trust, not in ourselves, but in God. He brings people back to life.
bwe@2Corinthians:1:9 @ He saved us from the death that was so near, and he still saves us. We believe that God will keep on saving us.
bwe@2Corinthians:1:13 @ Because I was sure of this, I wanted to visit you before. Then you would have had a double blessing.
bwe@2Corinthians:1:14 @ I wanted to visit you and then go to Macedonia. I wanted to visit you again when I was on my way back from Macedonia. Then you would send me on my way to Judea.
bwe@2Corinthians:1:15 @ That was what I wanted to do. Now then, did I act as if I did not know what I wanted? When I make my plans, do you think I make them like a man of this world? Do I say Yes when I mean to say No?
bwe@2Corinthians:1:16 @ As surely as God is true, our message to you was not Yes and No at the same time.
bwe@2Corinthians:1:17 @ Silvanus and Timothy and I told you about the Son of God, Jesus Christ. His word was not Yes and No. It was always Yes.
bwe@2Corinthians:2:4 @ When I wrote to you, I was in great trouble and my heart was very heavy. I cried with many tears. I did not want you to be sad, but I just wanted to let you know that I love you very much who made me sad. It was not only me that he made sad. It was every one of you, in a way. I say in a way because I do not want to be too strong in what I say.
bwe@2Corinthians:2:10 @ I have done this so that Satan will not get ahead of us. We know his tricks. of Troas to tell the good news of Christ, the door was open for me to work for the Lord.
bwe@2Corinthians:2:11 @ But my mind was troubled because I did not find my brother Titus there. So I said goodbye to the people there and went on to the country of Macedonia. Christ. And Christ leads us to victory every time. To know Christ is like a sweet smell. And God lets us carry that sweet smell of his truth everywhere.
bwe@2Corinthians:3:7 @ The old law that brought death was written on pieces of rock. There was a very bright light when God gave it to the people. The people of Israel could not look at Moses because his face was so bright. And even as they saw it, the light on his face was going away.
bwe@2Corinthians:3:8 @ Now bringing the law was bright and wonderful. Will not bringing the Spirit be far more bright and wonderful?
bwe@2Corinthians:3:9 @ Bringing the law was a wonderful thing even though it brought death. So bringing the good news that people can be put right with God is much more wonderful.
bwe@2Corinthians:3:10 @ The law was so bright and wonderful at first but has no light now. There is something else that is so much more bright and wonderful.
bwe@2Corinthians:3:13 @ We are not like Moses. He put a cloth over his face so that the people of Israel would not see that the light from God was dying.
bwe@2Corinthians:5:15 @ So then we no longer know people by what we see on the outside. There was a time when we knew Christ that way, but now we do not know him that way any longer.
bwe@2Corinthians:5:18 @ God was in Christ. He brought the world back to himself. He forgave them for the wrong things they had done. And he gave us the message that will bring people back to himself.
bwe@2Corinthians:7:4 @ When we came to the country of Macedonia, we had no rest for our bodies. We had all kinds of trouble everywhere. There was fighting around us and our hearts were full of fear.
bwe@2Corinthians:7:7 @ I know that what I wrote in my letter made you sad. But I am not sorry I wrote it. Perhaps I was sorry at first, but now I am glad I sent it. I see the letter made you sad for a while.
bwe@2Corinthians:7:11 @ So, even though I did write to you, it was not for the sake of the man who did wrong. And it was not for the sake of the man who had the wrong done to him. But I wrote so that you would see for yourselves, in the sight of God, how much we care for you.
bwe@2Corinthians:7:12 @ And so we have been comforted. Besides this, we were even more happy to see how happy Titus was. All of you really made his heart glad.
bwe@2Corinthians:7:13 @ I told him how proud I was of you. And really, I had nothing to be ashamed of. Everything we have said to you has been true. So also, what we told Titus about you proved true.
bwe@2Corinthians:8:9 @ You know how much love our Lord Jesus Christ had. He was rich, but he became poor for your sakes. Because he became poor, you can become rich.
bwe@2Corinthians:8:16 @ He was glad to go when I asked him, but he is also coming to you because he himself wants to come.
bwe@2Corinthians:9:7 @ Everyone should give what he wants in his heart to give. He should be glad to give it, and should not give it because he was forced to give. God loves a person who gives gladly.
bwe@2Corinthians:10:1 @ Now I, Paul, beg you to do something since you know that Christ was kind and gentle. You say I am weak when I am face to face with you, but when I am not with you, then I speak to you with hard words.
bwe@2Corinthians:10:16 @ Then we hope to tell the good news in places far beyond you. We will not be proud of the work given to someone else to do-work that was done before we got there.
bwe@2Corinthians:11:7 @ Perhaps it was wrong for me to bring myself down in order to raise you up. Do you think that? Was it wrong for me to tell you the good news without pay?
bwe@2Corinthians:11:9 @ When I was with you and needed money, I did not make any of you pay me. When the brothers came from Macedonia, they gave me what I needed. So I was not, and I will not be, any trouble to you.
bwe@2Corinthians:11:24 @ Three times people beat me with sticks, and once they threw rocks at me. Three times I was in a boat when it broke in the sea. I have been in the water all one night and day.
bwe@2Corinthians:11:32 @ But I sat in a basket. Then it was put out through a window in the wall and was let down. And so I got away from him.
bwe@2Corinthians:12:2 @ I know a Christian man. Fourteen years ago he was taken up into the place where God lives. I do not know if he was in his body when he went or not. God knows if he was.
bwe@2Corinthians:12:3 @ I do know this. He was taken up into the place where God lives. And again I say, I do not know if he was in his body or not. God knows if he was.
bwe@2Corinthians:12:7 @ Because the things God showed me were so wonderful, I might have become too proud of myself. But something happened and stopped that. It was like a thorn in me. It came from Satan <FI>the devil<Fi> to trouble me. It came to stop me from being too proud.
bwe@2Corinthians:12:11 @ There are signs that show a true apostle. I did all these things when I was among you. There were signs, wonderful works, and other big works which I did. You saw the power of God, even though I was being tested.
bwe@2Corinthians:13:4 @ It is true that he was weak when he died on a cross. But now he is alive by the power of God. We are weak as he was, but we will also be alive as he is by the power God has. You will see this.
bwe@Galatians:1:1 @ I am Paul the apostle, a messenger from God. Men did not call me to be an apostle. Men did not make me an apostle. Jesus Christ and God the Father made me an apostle. It was the same God the Father who raised Jesus from death.
bwe@Galatians:1:12 @ No man told it to me. No man taught it to me. But it was Jesus Christ who showed it to me.
bwe@Galatians:1:13 @ You have heard how I lived while I was still under the law of the Jews. I troubled the church of God very much. And I even tried to stop the church people altogether.
bwe@Galatians:1:15 @ But God chose me to be an apostle before I was born. And he called me by his love.
bwe@Galatians:1:17 @ I did not go to Jerusalem to the men who were apostles before I was. But I went away into the country of Arabia. Then afterwards, I came back to the city of Damascus.
bwe@Galatians:1:19 @ James, the brother of the Lord, was the only other apostle I saw. I did not see any of the other apostles.
bwe@Galatians:2:2 @ God showed me that I should go. And I told them about the good news which I tell to people who are not Jews. I told those who seemed to be church leaders when I was alone with them. I did not want my work to come to nothing-the work I had done or the work I was doing.
bwe@Galatians:2:3 @ Titus was with me. He was not a Jew, but they did not force him to be circumcised <FI>have the mark of a Jew made on his body<Fi>.
bwe@Galatians:2:10 @ One thing they asked us to do was to help the poor Christians. I was very glad to do this.
bwe@Galatians:2:11 @ One day Peter came to the city of Antioch. Then I had to tell him face to face that he had done wrong. He really was wrong!
bwe@Galatians:2:12 @ Here is what happened. Peter ate with those who were not Jews. Then some men came whom James had sent. When they came he stopped eating with those who were not Jews. He was afraid of what the Jews might think.
bwe@Galatians:2:13 @ All the other Jewish Christians did the same as Peter did. They acted as if it was not right to eat with those who were not Jews. Even Barnabas did the same.
bwe@Galatians:2:17 @ We came to Christ to be put right with God. That showed us how much we had been bad men. Was it Christ who made us bad men? No, surely not!
bwe@Galatians:3:1 @ O you Galatians, have you no sense at all? Who has fooled you? You knew, just as if you had seen him with your own eyes, that Jesus Christ was killed on a cross.
bwe@Galatians:3:2 @ Here is one thing I want to ask you. You received the Holy Spirit. Was that because you obeyed the law <FI>given to the Jews by Moses<Fi>? No, it was because you heard Gods word and believed it.
bwe@Galatians:3:4 @ So many things happened to you. Was it all for nothing? Surely it was not for nothing.
bwe@Galatians:3:6 @ So it was with Abraham. The holy writings say He believed God, and that was why God called him a good man.
bwe@Galatians:3:8 @ The holy writings say that he will put people right with himself if they believe him, even those who are not Jews. It was written down before God did it. The holy writings told the good news to Abraham ahead of time. It said, God will make you a blessing to all nations and people.
bwe@Galatians:3:9 @ Abraham believed God and was blessed. And so those who believe God are blessed too, along with him.
bwe@Galatians:3:14 @ Christ Jesus did this so that those who are not Jews will have the blessing which Abraham had. He did this so that when we believe, we will receive the Spirit who was promised to us.
bwe@Galatians:3:17 @ Here is what I mean. The law was given <FI>to Moses<Fi> four hundred and thirty years after God gave that promise to Abraham. But it cannot break the strong promise which God made. And the law cannot change Gods promise.
bwe@Galatians:3:19 @ Why then was the law made? God gave it after he made the promise, because so many people were doing what was wrong. The law was to be in power only until the Son came, the one to whom the promise was made. The law was handed down by Gods angels with the help of a middle man.
bwe@Galatians:3:22 @ But the holy writings say it is like this. The whole world is in prison, kept there by the wrong things they have done. This was done so that people who believe in Jesus Christ would have the blessing. This blessing was promised to those who believe.
bwe@Galatians:4:4 @ But when the right time came, God sent his Son to make us free. He was born by a woman during the time when men had to obey the law.
bwe@Galatians:4:13 @ You know that I was sick when I first told you the good news.
bwe@Galatians:4:22 @ The holy writings say that Abraham had two sons. One was the son of the slave woman. The other one was the son of the free woman.
bwe@Galatians:4:23 @ The child of the slave woman was born as any child is born. But the child of the free woman was born because God promised he would be born.
bwe@Galatians:4:29 @ Abrahams child who was born as any child is born, troubled the other child who was born by the Spirit. It is that way today.
bwe@Ephesians:1:1 @ I am Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ. It was Gods wish for me to be his messenger. I send greetings to Gods people in the city of Ephesus, to those who believe in Christ Jesus.
bwe@Ephesians:1:4 @ Before the world was made, God chose us in Christ. He chose us that we should be holy and good before him.
bwe@Ephesians:1:9 @ He has shown us the plan he had. This plan was what he wanted to do through Christ.
bwe@Ephesians:2:1 @ There was a time when you were dead. That was because of the bad and the wrong things you did.
bwe@Ephesians:2:3 @ At one time we too all lived like them. We lived to please ourselves. We did what our bodies and our minds wanted us to do. We were people with whom God was angry, just like other people.
bwe@Ephesians:2:4 @ But God was very, very kind. He loved us very, very much.
bwe@Ephesians:2:7 @ He did this to show us in all times to come how much he can bless people and how kind he is. It was Jesus Christ who brought this kindness to us.
bwe@Ephesians:2:8 @ You have been saved by Gods love and kindness because you believed. It was not because of anything you did, but it was a gift from God.
bwe@Ephesians:3:3 @ He showed me what his plan was. And I have already written a little about it to you.
bwe@Ephesians:4:4 @ There is one body of Christ and one Spirit. When God called you, there was one hope before you in your calling.
bwe@Ephesians:4:22 @ Stop being the person you used to be in your old life. That person was bad because he wanted to do wrong things.
bwe@Ephesians:5:26 @ He did that so that he might make the church people holy, when they were washed with water by Gods word.
bwe@Philippians:2:6 @ He was in every way like God. Yet he did not think that being equal to God was something he must hold on to.
bwe@Philippians:2:7 @ He gave this up and became a servant. He was born a baby.
bwe@Philippians:2:8 @ And when he was a man, he was humble. He was even willing to die, yes, to die on a cross.
bwe@Philippians:2:25 @ I thought I must send Epaphroditus, our Christian brother, back to you. He has worked with me and has also been a soldier of Christ with me. He was your messenger and he brought your gift for my needs.
bwe@Philippians:2:26 @ I am sending him back because he has been lonely without you all. And his heart has been troubled because you heard that he was sick.
bwe@Philippians:2:27 @ He was very sick! He almost died! But God was kind to him. He was not only kind to him, but also to me. God did not let me have one trouble after another.
bwe@Philippians:2:30 @ He almost died doing the work of Christ. You wished to help me, but you could not come. He came instead. He was willing to put his life in danger in order to help me.
bwe@Philippians:3:5 @ I had the mark of a Jew cut in my body when I was eight days old. I was born of the people of Israel. I belong to the family of Benjamin, so I was born a true Jew. I was a Pharisee, so I obeyed the Jewish law very carefully.
bwe@Philippians:3:6 @ I was so full of my own ideas that I sent Christians to prison. But I was a good man in the way the Jewish law calls a man good.
bwe@Philippians:3:21 @ He will change our body which was made for this world. He will make it like his own wonderful body. He will do this by his power to make all things obey him.
bwe@Philippians:4:13 @ But you were kind to help me when I was in trouble.
bwe@Philippians:4:15 @ Even when I was in the city of Thessalonica, you sent money to help me more than once.
bwe@Philippians:4:17 @ I have all I need and more. Yes, I have plenty because Epaphroditus gave me what you sent me. Your gift was like a sweet-smelling offering to God. It was a sacrifice which God took and it pleased him.
bwe@Colossians:1:5 @ And also, you are looking ahead to what you will have in heaven. You have heard about it already when the good news was told to you.
bwe@Colossians:1:15 @ The Son is like God who cannot be seen. He was his Son before anything was made.
bwe@Colossians:1:17 @ He himself was before all things. And he holds all things together.
bwe@Colossians:1:23 @ But you must keep on believing and stand strong and true. Let nothing shake the hope which the good news brought you. You heard the same good news as is told to everyone in the whole world. I, Paul, was given the work of telling that same good news.
bwe@1Thessalonians:1:4 @ The good news we brought you was not just words. It had power. It had the Holy Spirit. It made people very sure it was true. And you also know how we lived when we were with you to help you.
bwe@1Thessalonians:2:1 @ My brothers, you yourselves know that our visit to you was not for nothing.
bwe@1Thessalonians:2:3 @ Our message was not a lie. What we told you was not wrong. And we did not try to fool you.
bwe@1Thessalonians:3:5 @ That is why I could not wait any longer. I sent Timothy to find out if you were still believing. I was afraid that Satan had tried you too much. Then our work would have been for nothing.
bwe@2Thessalonians:2:5 @ You remember that I told you these things when I was still with you.
bwe@1Timothy:1:9 @ He must understand that the law was not made for the man who lives right. It was made for those who do not want any laws over them, and for those who will not obey. It was made for those who do not respect God, and those who are bad people. It was made for those who do not respect anything that is holy or belongs to God. It was made for those who beat their fathers or mothers, and for those who kill people.
bwe@1Timothy:1:10 @ It was made for those who use sex in the wrong way and for men who have sex with other men. It was made for those who steal people, for those who tell lies, for those who make a promise that is not true, and for any other thing that is not right.
bwe@1Timothy:1:13 @ There was a time when I did not respect him. I troubled his people. I said wrong things about him. But he was very kind to me, because I did not know what I was doing and I did not believe in him.
bwe@1Timothy:1:16 @ Jesus Christ wanted to show that he is very, very patient. And so he was kind to me who was the worst. He did this so that others would believe in him and live for ever.
bwe@1Timothy:2:6 @ He gave his life to set all men free. This matter was told at the right time.
bwe@1Timothy:2:7 @ I was chosen to tell about this and to be an apostle. I am telling the truth. I am not lying. I was chosen to teach people who are not Jews. I must teach them to believe and to know what is true.
bwe@1Timothy:2:13 @ Adam was not fooled. But the woman was fooled and did wrong.
bwe@1Timothy:3:16 @ Gods plan is very great as we all know. Here it is: we saw God as a man; Gods Spirit proved he was right; angels saw him; the nations were told about him; people of the world believed in him; God took him up into heaven.
bwe@1Timothy:4:14 @ Use the gift you have. It was given to you when the church leaders put their hands on your head and gave you a message from God.
bwe@1Timothy:5:10 @ People must speak well of the good works she has done. Has she brought up children? Has she been kind to strangers and cared for them in her house? Has she washed the feet of Gods people? Has she helped people who were in trouble? Has she done every kind of good thing to help people?
bwe@1Timothy:6:12 @ Work hard at believing in God more and more. Make sure that you get everlasting life; God called you to have it. You stood before many people and said that you believed in Christ. That was the right thing to say.
bwe@1Timothy:6:13 @ Now we stand before God who gives life to all things. We stand before Christ who said what was right when he was in court before Pontius Pilate. I tell you to do this.
bwe@2Timothy:1:6 @ That is why I am telling you again. You must use Gods gift. It was given to you when I put my hands on your head.
bwe@2Timothy:1:9 @ God saved us and called us to live a holy life. He did not do it because of the good things we have done. He did it because he himself planned to do it, and wanted to do it. That was the blessing he gave us in Christ Jesus. He had this plan before he made the world.
bwe@2Timothy:1:14 @ Keep safe that good thing which was trusted to you. The Holy Spirit who lives in us will help you.
bwe@2Timothy:2:8 @ Keep your mind on Jesus Christ. He was raised from death. He was of the family of David. That is the good news I tell people.
bwe@2Timothy:4:15 @ You too must keep away from him, for he was very much against what we said.
bwe@2Timothy:4:16 @ The first time I spoke for myself in court, no one was on my side. All left me. I hope that God will forgive them.
bwe@2Timothy:4:17 @ But the Lord was with me. He gave me strength to tell the message. All those who are not Jews heard it. And I was saved out of the mouth of the lion.
bwe@2Timothy:4:20 @ Erastus stayed in the city of Corinth. Trophimus was sick when I left him at Miletus.
bwe@Titus:3:3 @ There was a time when we ourselves did not have understanding. We did not obey God. We were fooled by people. We did many wrong things we wanted to do. We did what we pleased. We lived our days in planning to do wrong things and wanting what other people had. People hated us, and we hated each other.
bwe@Titus:3:5 @ We were not saved by any good things we did ourselves, but he saved us because he is so kind. He washed us clean. We were born again as a new person. The Holy Spirit has made us new.
bwe@Titus:3:13 @ Our people should learn to spend their time in doing good things to help people who are poor. In that way, our people will not waste their time. Greet those who believe as we do and who love us. God bless you all.
bwe@Philemon:1:11 @ At one time he was no help to you. But now he is a big help to you and to me.
bwe@Philemon:1:15 @ Maybe it was good for him to be away from you for a while. Now you will have him with you for ever.
bwe@Hebrews:1:10 @ He also said, Lord, you made the world in the beginning. The sky was made by your hands.
bwe@Hebrews:2:2 @ What the angels said proved to be true. Every one who broke the law, and who did not obey it, was punished as he should be punished.
bwe@Hebrews:2:3 @ If that is so, then we will not get away without being punished. We will be punished if we forget or throw away this wonderful way to be saved. It was the Lord who first told people how to be saved. Then those who heard him told us the true way.
bwe@Hebrews:2:4 @ God also proved that it was the true way. He gave signs. He did things that surprised people. He did many things by his power. He gave the gifts of the Holy Spirit to people just as he wanted to.
bwe@Hebrews:2:8 @ You put everything under him for him to rule over. When God gave him the right to rule over everything, nothing was left out which he did not have the right to rule. But we do not yet see him ruling over everything.
bwe@Hebrews:2:9 @ But we do see Jesus! For a short time he was lower than the angels. Because he died, we see him made great and high. He did this so that he could die for every person. God is so good!
bwe@Hebrews:2:10 @ Everything was made for God and by God. It seemed good to him that Jesus life should be made complete, by going through the hard things that happened to him. This was because Jesus leads many people to heaven as Gods children. And he is the one who saves them.
bwe@Hebrews:2:14 @ Gods children all have a body. That is why Jesus himself had the same. But because Jesus also had a body, he was able to die and stop the devil. The devil has power to make people die. But Jesus, by his own death, was able to stop the power of death.
bwe@Hebrews:2:15 @ People were afraid to die. All their lives they were like slaves. When Jesus died, he was able to set them free from their fear.
bwe@Hebrews:2:17 @ So he had to be made like his brothers in every way. Then he could be a high priest to make a way to God for them, a priest who was kind and true. He could make it possible for God to forgive people for the wrong things they had done.
bwe@Hebrews:2:18 @ He had a very hard time when he was tested. But because he was tested, he is able to help people who are tested.
bwe@Hebrews:3:5 @ Moses did what he was told to do as a servant in all of Gods house. He showed things that God would say later.
bwe@Hebrews:3:6 @ But Jesus Christ was true as a Son over Gods house. We are Gods house if we keep on believing and telling others what we hope to have.
bwe@Hebrews:3:10 @ So I was very angry with the people of that time. I said, "Their minds are always dark. They have not known my ways."
bwe@Hebrews:3:11 @ I said when I was angry, "They will never go into my resting place."
bwe@Hebrews:3:16 @ Who were the people who heard him and yet made him very angry? It was all the people whom Moses led out of the country of Egypt.
bwe@Hebrews:3:17 @ With whom was God angry for forty years? He was angry with the people who had done wrong. And they died in the desert.
bwe@Hebrews:4:2 @ The good news has been told to us just as it was told to the people in the desert. But the message which they heard did not do them any good. Even though they heard it, they did not believe it.
bwe@Hebrews:4:3 @ But we who believe, will go into that resting place of God. It is as God said, When I was angry, I said, "They will never go into my resting place." He said this even though his work had been finished ever since he had made the world.
bwe@Hebrews:5:5 @ So Christ did not choose himself to be a high priest. But he was chosen by the One who said to him, You are my Son, and I am your Father today.
bwe@Hebrews:5:7 @ When Jesus was a man, he talked to God who was able to save him from death. He called loudly to him with tears. God heard him because he honoured and respected God.
bwe@Hebrews:5:8 @ Even though Jesus was his Son, he learned to obey God in the troubles he had.
bwe@Hebrews:5:10 @ God called him a high priest like Melchizedek was a priest.
bwe@Hebrews:7:1 @ Melchizedek was king of the city of Salem. He was a priest of God who is the greatest of all. Melchizedek met Abraham when Abraham came back from killing some bad kings. And Melchizedek blessed him.
bwe@Hebrews:7:2 @ Abraham divided all that he took away from the kings into ten parts. He gave Melchizedek one part. First, the name Melchizedek means the king who is true and right with God. Then he was king of Salem. That means king of peace.
bwe@Hebrews:7:3 @ He has no father or mother. The names of the family from which he comes are not written down. It is not written down that he was born or that he died. But, like the Son of God, he stays on being a priest for ever.
bwe@Hebrews:7:4 @ Just think how great he was! Even Abraham, the father of our people, gave him a tenth, one part out of ten, of all he brought back.
bwe@Hebrews:7:6 @ But Melchizedek was not from Levis family. Yet he took a tenth of what Abraham had. And he blessed Abraham, to whom God made the promise.
bwe@Hebrews:7:10 @ He was not yet born when Melchizedek met Abraham.
bwe@Hebrews:7:11 @ It was while the sons of Levi were priests that the law was made for the people. If those priests were good enough, why would another priest need to come who was like Melchizedek? Why would he not be like Aaron?
bwe@Hebrews:7:16 @ He was not made a priest by law. The law said that the priest must come from a certain tribe. But he was made a priest because he has power to live for ever.
bwe@Hebrews:7:18 @ The old law given to Moses by God was put away. It was weak and no good.
bwe@Hebrews:7:20 @ Also Christ was not made a priest without Gods strong promise. The others were made priests without Gods strong promise.
bwe@Hebrews:7:21 @ But this man was made priest by Gods strong promise. God said to him, The Lord has made a strong promise, and he will not change it. "You are a priest for ever."
bwe@Hebrews:8:6 @ But Christ has been given a much better work, because he is the man who is between God and men in making an agreement. This is a much better agreement. It was made by better promises.
bwe@Hebrews:9:1 @ The first agreement had laws about worship. And it had a holy place on earth where the agreement was kept.
bwe@Hebrews:9:2 @ A house was made. In the first part of the house were the light, the table, and the bread of God. This first part was called the Holy Place.
bwe@Hebrews:9:3 @ The next part of the house was called the Most Holy Place.
bwe@Hebrews:9:4 @ In the Most Holy Place was a pan made of gold. In this pan a fire could burn to make a sweet-smelling smoke. The box of the agreement was also in the Most Holy Place. It was covered all over with gold. In this box were: the golden pot, which had some of the food God sent from heaven for the people in the desert; Aarons stick which grew flowers on it; and the stones which had Gods agreement written on them.
bwe@Hebrews:9:5 @ On top of the box were the shapes of two angels. They showed that God is great. Their wings spread over the cover of the box. It was the place where God showed that he is kind. But we cannot take time to tell about every part of these things now.
bwe@Hebrews:9:8 @ This is how the Holy Spirit showed that the way into the Most Holy Place was not yet open to everybody. It was not open as long as the first house was still standing.
bwe@Hebrews:9:10 @ These are only things to eat and drink and different kinds of washings. They are laws made for the body until the time when everything is made right again.
bwe@Hebrews:9:11 @ But Christ has come as the high priest of the good things which have come. He went through a greater and better house which was not made by mens hands. It is not a part of this world.
bwe@Hebrews:9:14 @ If the blood of animals can do that, then the blood of Christ will clean our hearts much better. Christ gave himself to God as the sacrifice. He did this by the Spirit who lives for ever. He was a perfect sacrifice. He will clean our hearts from useless acts of worship. Then we can serve the living God.
bwe@Hebrews:9:18 @ So even the old agreement made by God![[pBiblx2]](/img/menu.png)
