bwe@Romans:1:6 @ You are some of them. You were called to belong to Jesus Christ.

bwe@Romans:1:7 @ I send greetings to all the Christians who live in the city of Rome. God loves you and has called you to be his people. May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ bless you. In their kindness may they give you peace.

bwe@Romans:1:8 @ People in all the world have heard that you believe. I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you.

bwe@Romans:1:9 @ God knows that I always talk to him about you. I worship him in my heart while I tell the good news about his Son.

bwe@Romans:1:10 @ I ask God that in some way now I may be able to visit you, if he wishes me to do it.

bwe@Romans:1:11 @ I want very much to see you. I want to give you some gift from the Holy Spirit to make you stronger.

bwe@Romans:1:12 @ I mean to say that we will both be helped. I will be helped because you believe, and you will be helped because I believe.

bwe@Romans:1:13 @ My brothers, I want you to know that I have often planned to come to you. But something has stopped me until now. I planned to come so that I might see good things happen among you. I have done this in the other nations which are not Jewish.

bwe@Romans:1:15 @ That is why I want so much to tell the good news to you people in the city of Rome also.

bwe@Romans:2:1 @ Do you judge another people? You your-selves have done wrong things. So when you judge others, you judge yourselves, because you do the same things. You judge them and yet you do the same things.

bwe@Romans:2:3 @ Man, you judge people who do such things and yet you do them yourself. Do you think that God will not judge you?

bwe@Romans:2:4 @ Or do you not respect him for being kind, very patient, and for waiting a long time? Do you not know that God is kind, and he wants to lead you away from doing wrong things?

bwe@Romans:2:5 @ But your hearts are hard. You will not stop. That is why God will be angry with you. He will be angry on the day when people will see that he judges in the right way.

bwe@Romans:2:17 @ But you call yourselves Jews. You believe the law. You are proud of your God.

bwe@Romans:2:18 @ You know what he wants people to do. You know the thoughts that are good because you have been taught the law.

bwe@Romans:2:19 @ You are sure that you can lead people who are like blind men. You are like a light for people who are in the dark.

bwe@Romans:2:20 @ You are sure that you can tell foolish people what is right. You can teach people who are like children. You know what you need to know and you know what is true because you have the law.

bwe@Romans:2:21 @ You teach another person. Do you not teach yourself? You say people must not steal. Do you steal?

bwe@Romans:2:22 @ You say people must not commit adultery. Do you commit adultery? You hate idols. Do you steal things from the houses of idols?

bwe@Romans:2:23 @ You are proud that you have the law. Do you break the law, and in that way show you do not honour God?

bwe@Romans:2:24 @ The holy writings say, People who are not Jews say wrong things about the name of God. They do it because of what you Jews do.

bwe@Romans:2:25 @ Circumcision of the body is a good thing if you obey the law. But if you break the law, you are like a man who has not been circumcised with this mark of the Jew.

bwe@Romans:2:27 @ Some people have not been circumcised, but they obey the law. They will show that you should be punished. You have the written law and you have been circumcised, and yet you break the law.

bwe@Romans:3:4 @ No, it does not mean that. God must be true, even if every man is not true. The holy writings say this about God: People will see that you are right in what you say. You will be without fault when you are judged.

bwe@Romans: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:6:3 @ All of us have been baptised in water. This means we are joined to Christ Jesus. We were baptised into his death. Do you know that?

bwe@Romans:6:11 @ So you also must think you are dead, and stop your wrong ways. And you must think you are living for God along with Christ Jesus our Lord.

bwe@Romans:6:12 @ Do not let wrong things rule over your bodies that are going to die. Do not do the things your bodies want.

bwe@Romans:6:13 @ Do not use your bodies to do wrong things. But give yourselves to God like men who have been raised from death to life. Give your bodies to God and use them to do good things.

bwe@Romans:6:14 @ Wrong ways will not be your masters. The law does not rule over you now, but Gods loving kindness rules over you.

bwe@Romans:6:16 @ If you give yourselves to be slaves and obey your master, you are not free. You are his slaves. Do you not know this: you may be slaves to wrong things? But you will not live for ever. Or you may be slaves to obey God. Then you will be made good people and live with him.

bwe@Romans:6:17 @ You were at one time slaves to wrong things. But I praise God that you obeyed what your teachers taught you. And you obeyed because you wanted to obey.

bwe@Romans:6:18 @ You were made free from doing wrong things. You were made slaves to good things.

bwe@Romans:6:19 @ I speak the way people would think about such things, because your minds are weak. At one time you gave your bodies to be slaves to your unclean ways, and to do more and more wrong things. So now give your bodies to be slaves to doing what is right, and to being good.

bwe@Romans:6:20 @ When you were slaves to wrong things, you were free from doing good things.

bwe@Romans:6:21 @ You are now ashamed of those things. What good did they do you? For the end of those things is death.

bwe@Romans:6:22 @ But now you have been made free from wrong ways and you have been made Gods slaves. You are made good and you will live for ever.

bwe@Romans:7:1 @ My brothers, I am saying this to you people who know the law. Do you not know that the law is master over a person only while he lives?

bwe@Romans:7:4 @ In the same way my brothers, you died when Christ died. And you are free from the law. Now you belong to another person. You belong to the one who has been raised from death. Because of that, we are able to do what God wants us to do.

bwe@Romans:8:6 @ If you keep your mind on the things your bodies want to do, you will die. But if you keep your mind on the things the Spirit wants, you will live and have peace.

bwe@Romans:8:9 @ Does Gods Spirit live in you? If he does, then you are not living the way the body wants, but you are living the way the Spirit wants. If anyone does not have Christs Spirit, he does not belong to Christ.

bwe@Romans:8:10 @ But if Christ is in you, your bodies are dead because of the wrong things you have done. But your spirits live because you have been made right with God.

bwe@Romans:8:11 @ God raised Christ Jesus from death. Does Gods Spirit live in you? Then God will also give life to your bodies which die. He does this through his Spirit who lives in you.

bwe@Romans:8:13 @ If you live the way your bodies wants to live, you will die. But if, by the help of the Spirit, you stop doing the wrong things your bodies want to do, you will live.

bwe@Romans:8:15 @ The Holy Spirit you have received does not make you a slave again so that you are afraid. But the Spirit you have received makes you sons of God.

bwe@Romans:8:36 @ The holy writings say, For your sake we are killed all day. We are like sheep ready to be killed.

bwe@Romans:9:6 @ Not all the people in Abrahams family are his children. But the holy writings say, It is Isaacs family who will be called your family.

bwe@Romans:9:11 @ When the children were not yet born, they had done nothing good or bad. God chooses the people he wants. He does not choose people because of what they have done. He chooses people who will answer his call. So he said to Rebecca, The older one will be a slave of the younger one.

bwe@Romans:9:16 @ In the holy writings it says to Pharaoh, That is why I made you live. I wanted to show my power through you. I wanted people to know about me all over the earth.

bwe@Romans:9:18 @ So you will ask me, Why does God still blame us? Who can fight against what God has planned?

bwe@Romans:9:19 @ But you are only a man. Will you tell God what to do? Can the pot say to the man who made it, Why did you make me like this?

bwe@Romans:9:25 @ 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:10:6 @ But the holy writings also speak about those who are put right by believing: Do not say in your heart, "Who will go up into heaven?" (That means, Who will go up to heaven to bring Christ down?)

bwe@Romans:10:8 @ But what do the holy writings say? They say, The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart. That means, the word to believe which we tell people.

bwe@Romans:10:9 @ If you say with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and if you believe in your heart that God has raised Christ from death, you will be saved.

bwe@Romans:10:19 @ But I ask, did not the Jews know? First the book of Moses says, I will make you jealous through people who are not a nation like the Jews. I will make you angry through people who do not even know or understand these things.

bwe@Romans:11:2 @ God has not left his people whom he knew from the first. Do you not know what the holy writings say about the prophet Elijah? He talked to God against the people of Israel.

bwe@Romans:11:3 @ He said, Lord, they have killed your prophets. They have pulled down your holy places. I am the only one that is left, and they are trying to kill me.

bwe@Romans:11:13 @ Now I say this to you who are not Jews. I am an apostle to those who are not Jews, so I think highly of the work I have been sent to do.

bwe@Romans:11:17 @ Maybe some of the trees branches were broken off. And you, a branch from a wild olive tree, were made to grow on the tree among the branches. You then have the good water that comes from the root of the olive tree.

bwe@Romans:11:18 @ But do not think that you are better than the trees own branches. If you do, remember it is not you that holds the root in place. But it is the root that holds you.

bwe@Romans:11:19 @ Then you will say, The branches were broken off so that I might be joined to the tree.

bwe@Romans:11:20 @ That is true. They were broken off because they did not believe. And you have your place only because you believe. So do not be proud, but fear.

bwe@Romans:11:21 @ If God punished the trees own branches, he will punish you also.

bwe@Romans:11:22 @ See how kind God is. And see how hard he is. He is hard on those who have fallen. But God is kind to you if you go on following in his ways. If you do not, you also will be broken off.

bwe@Romans:11:24 @ You were cut off from a wild olive tree. And you were put on a good olive tree. That is not the way trees grow. But it can be done. And so, even more, the Jewish branches will be put back on their own olive tree.

bwe@Romans:11:25 @ My brothers, I want you to know something that has been a secret. Then you will not be proud of yourselves. The secret is this. Some Jews will have hard hearts until the right number of other people have come in.

bwe@Romans:11:28 @ The Jews make themselves enemies of God because they do not want the good news of Jesus Christ. That helps you since the good news has then come to you. But God still loves the Jews because of the promise he made to their fathers long ago.

bwe@Romans:11:30 @ At one time you did not obey God. But now he has been kind to you because the Jews did not obey him.

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:12:1 @ God has been kind to you. So I ask you, brothers, give your bodies to him like a living sacrifice. That is, a holy sacrifice. It will please God. And it is what you should do for him.

bwe@Romans:12:2 @ Do not be like the people of this world, but have a new mind. Then you will prove for yourselves what God wants you to do. That will be good. It will please God. And it will be all right.

bwe@Romans:12:3 @ God has given me this gift. So I say this to every one of you. Do not think you are better than you really are. But think of yourself as you are. You are what you are because God has given you something when you believed.

bwe@Romans:12:9 @ Your love must be real love. Hate what is wrong. Hold to what is good.

bwe@Romans:12:10 @ Love one another very much, like brothers. Honour other people more than you honour yourself.

bwe@Romans:12:11 @ Do not hold back in what you do. Let the Spirit burn in you. Work hard for the Lord.

bwe@Romans:12:12 @ Be very happy because you have a hope. Be strong when you have trouble. Keep on talking with God.

bwe@Romans:12:13 @ Give to Gods people who need it. Be glad to take care of strangers in your house.

bwe@Romans:12:14 @ Bless those who do wrong things to you. Bless them. Do not curse them.

bwe@Romans:12:16 @ Agree with one another. Do not be proud, but be friends with anybody. Do not think you are wiser than you are.

bwe@Romans:12:17 @ When people do wrong things to you, do not do wrong things to them also. But try to do good things for all people.

bwe@Romans:12:18 @ As much as you can, live in peace with everyone.

bwe@Romans:12:19 @ My dear brothers, do not punish people who do wrong to you. But let Gods anger punish them. In the holy writings the Lord says, I myself will punish people. If they have done wrong things, I will do wrong things to them also.

bwe@Romans:12:20 @ But, If your enemy is hungry, give him food. If he is thirsty, give him a drink. When you do that, it will be as if you put a pile of coals from the fire on his head.

bwe@Romans:12:21 @ Do not let wrong things win a victory over you. But win a victory over wrong things by the good things you do.

bwe@Romans:13:3 @ The rulers do not bring fear to a good man, but they bring fear to a bad man. If you do not want to be afraid of a ruler, do what is good and he will praise you.

bwe@Romans:13:4 @ Such a person is Gods servant and will do what is good for you. But if you do what is wrong, you should fear him. He has great power and he will use it. He is Gods servant and will punish those who do wrong.

bwe@Romans:13:5 @ So you must obey, not only because of the punishment, but because you know it is right.

bwe@Romans:13:6 @ That is why you also pay taxes. The rulers serve God and they give all their time to their work.

bwe@Romans:13:9 @ The law says, Do not commit adultery. Do not kill. Do not steal. Do not want things that belong to other people. These laws and others are all in this one law: Love your neighbour as you love yourself.

bwe@Romans:13:11 @ In all this you know what a special time it is. It is time now for you to wake up from your sleep. The time when we will be saved is nearer to us now than when we first believed.

bwe@Romans:13:14 @ But you must take the Lord Jesus Christ into your hearts. And do not plan to do the wrong things your bodies want to do.

bwe@Romans:14:1 @ Be ready to take a person into the church even if he does not know and believe all you believe. Do not judge what he thinks about things.

bwe@Romans:14:4 @ Why do you judge another persons servant? He stands or he falls before his own master. But he will stand because the Lord can give him power to stand.

bwe@Romans:14:10 @ Why do you judge your brother? Or why do you despise your brother? We shall all stand before God to be judged.

bwe@Romans:14:15 @ Does what you eat trouble your brother? If it does, you are no longer living in love. Do not destroy the faith of someone because of what you eat. Christ died for him.

bwe@Romans:14:16 @ What is good for you must not be something that other people say is wrong.

bwe@Romans:14:20 @ Do not spoil what God has done because you want some food. Everything is right. But it is wrong for anyone to eat anything if that will make his brother fall.

bwe@Romans:14:21 @ The right thing is to eat no meat, and drink no wine, and not do anything that makes your brother fall.

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:14:23 @ But a man who is not sure that he should eat something, does wrong if he eats it. That is because he does not believe the thing he is doing is right to do. And it is wrong to do what you do not believe is right.

bwe@Romans:15:3 @ Christ did not please himself. But the holy writings say, I took upon myself the wrong things that people said against you.

bwe@Romans:15:5 @ God gives people power to take their troubles and he comforts their hearts. I ask him to help you to think the same way as Christ did.

bwe@Romans:15:6 @ Then, together you will praise the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

bwe@Romans:15:7 @ So, accept one another, as Christ has accepted you. Then people will know that God is great.

bwe@Romans:15:9 @ He did this so that people who are not Jews would praise God because he is kind. The holy writings say, So I will praise you among the people who are not Jews. I will sing songs to your name.

bwe@Romans:15:13 @ God gives hope. May he make you very happy. May he give you peace because you believe. Then the power of the Holy Spirit will give you much hope.

bwe@Romans:15:14 @ My brothers, I myself believe that you are very good people. I believe that you know many things and are able to teach one another.

bwe@Romans:15:15 @ I have written strong words to you. There are some things I want you to remember. I have written because of the gift God has given to me.

bwe@Romans:15:22 @ So I have been stopped many times from coming to you.

bwe@Romans:15:23 @ But now, I am no longer needed to work in these places. And I have wanted for many years to come to you.

bwe@Romans:15:24 @ When I go to the country of Spain, I hope to see you on my way there. I hope you will help me on my way to that place. But first I will be happy to be with you for a little while.

bwe@Romans:15:28 @ I will finish doing this, and I will give them what the people send them. Then I will go by you on my way to Spain.

bwe@Romans:15:29 @ And I know that when I come to you, I will bring great blessings from Christ.

bwe@Romans:15:30 @ My brothers, I ask you to do this for the sake of the Lord Jesus Christ and because the Spirit has given you love. Talk to God for me. And I also will talk to him.

bwe@Romans:15:32 @ Ask him to let me come to you and have a good time with you.

bwe@Romans:15:33 @ God gives peace. I ask that he will be with you all. He will!

bwe@Romans:16:1 @ I want to tell you good things about our sister Phoebe. She helps in the church in Cenchrea.

bwe@Romans:16:2 @ I want you to take her in because she is a Christian. That is what Gods people should do. Help her in any way she needs help. She has helped many people and has helped me too.

bwe@Romans:16:16 @ Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the Christian churches send greetings to you.

bwe@Romans:16:17 @ Brothers, I ask you to do this. Watch the people who make quarrels. They make people do wrong because they teach things you have not been taught. Have nothing to do with those people.

bwe@Romans:16:19 @ People everywhere know that you obey. I am very happy about you. I want you to be wise and know what is right. I want you to know nothing about what is wrong.

bwe@Romans:16:20 @ God gives peace. He will soon crush Satan under your feet. May our Lord Jesus Christ bless you.

bwe@Romans:16:21 @ Timothy sends you greetings. He worked with me. Luke, Jason, and Sosipater send you greetings. They belong to my family.

bwe@Romans:16:22 @ (I, Tertius, send you Christian greetings. I am writing this letter for Paul.)

bwe@Romans:16:23 @ Gaius sends you greetings. I am staying in his house. The whole church that meets in his house sends you greetings too. Erastus sends greetings to you. He takes care of the money for the city. Our brother Quartus sends you greetings.

bwe@Romans:16:24 @ I ask our Lord Jesus Christ to show you his loving kindness. He will!

bwe@Romans:16:25 @ 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:1:2 @ Our Christian brother Sosthenes and I send greetings to the people who are the church of God in the city of Corinth. You are people whom Christ Jesus has made holy. You, too, are chosen to be Gods people. And we send greetings to all the people everywhere who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. He is their Lord, just as he is our Lord.

bwe@1Corinthians:1:3 @ May God show you his kindness and peace which come from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

bwe@1Corinthians:1:4 @ I am always thanking God for the blessings he has given you through Jesus Christ.

bwe@1Corinthians:1:5 @ He has made you rich in all ways, in all that you say and in all you know.

bwe@1Corinthians:1:6 @ Christ has done for you just what he promised to do.

bwe@1Corinthians:1:7 @ You have every blessing you need while you wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to come again.

bwe@1Corinthians:1:8 @ And right to the end Jesus Christ will surely keep you safe. Then no one will find anything wrong about you on the day our Lord Jesus Christ comes.

bwe@1Corinthians:1:9 @ God never fails anyone. It is he who called you to belong to his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

bwe@1Corinthians:1:10 @ My Christian brothers, I beg you all in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, agree in what you say. Do not divide into groups. You should all think in the same way and decide to do the same things.

bwe@1Corinthians:1:11 @ My brothers, I say this because I have been told by some of Chloes family that you are quarrelling.

bwe@1Corinthians:1:12 @ This is what I mean. Some of you say, I belong to Paul. Others say, I belong to Apollos. And others say, I belong to Cephas.And yet others say, I belong to Christ.

bwe@1Corinthians:1:13 @ Is Christ divided? Was Paul nailed to the cross for you? No! Were you baptized in Pauls name? No!

bwe@1Corinthians:1:14 @ I thank God that I did not baptize any of you but Crispus and Gaius.

bwe@1Corinthians:1:15 @ So no one can say you were baptized in my name.

bwe@1Corinthians:1:20 @ Where are your wise people, the men who know books, the men who like to talk about the things of this world? God has shown that the clever things of this world are nothing.

bwe@1Corinthians:1:26 @ My brothers, remember what you were when God chose you. Not many of you were wise by the way people look at it. Not many of you had power. Not many of you came from a family with a big name.

bwe@1Corinthians:1:30 @ You are Gods children through Christ Jesus. Christ came from God and made us wise. He put us right with God. He made us holy. He set us free from our wrong ways.

bwe@1Corinthians:2:1 @ So, my brothers, when I came to you, I did not come to tell you Gods message in big or wise words.

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:2:4 @ My words and my message were not in wise words to win you. But the power of the Spirit of God proved my words to be true.

bwe@1Corinthians:2:5 @ I did this so that you would not believe because of mans wise words, but you would believe because of Gods power.

bwe@1Corinthians:2:13 @ We do not tell you these things in wise words which men taught us. But the Holy Spirit taught us. We teach things about the Spirit which we know about through the Spirit.

bwe@1Corinthians:3:1 @ My brothers, I could not talk to you at first as to people who have the Spirit of God. But I talked to you as people who have the spirit of this world. I talked to you as people who are very new-born, baby Christians.

bwe@1Corinthians:3:2 @ I gave you milk to drink, not food to eat. You were not ready for food. And even now you are not ready for it.

bwe@1Corinthians:3:3 @ You still have the spirit of this world in you. You are jealous of each other and you are quarrelling. The spirit of this world is still in you and you live like people of this world.

bwe@1Corinthians:3:4 @ One says, I belong to Paul. Another says, I belong to Apollos. Does not that show that you have the spirit of this world?

bwe@1Corinthians:3:5 @ After all, who is Apollos? And who is Paul? We both work for God. You believed because of the work we did. The Lord gave each of us our work to do.

bwe@1Corinthians:3:9 @ We work together for God. You are Gods farm. You are Gods house.

bwe@1Corinthians:3:16 @ You know that you are Gods house. The spirit of God lives in you.

bwe@1Corinthians:3:17 @ God will punish anyone who spoils his house. His house is holy, and you are the house.

bwe@1Corinthians:3:18 @ Do not be fooled. If any one of you thinks that he is wise in the things of this world, he should count himself as not being wise. Then he would really be wise.

bwe@1Corinthians:3:21 @ So do not be proud of men. Everything belongs to you.

bwe@1Corinthians:3:22 @ Paul, Apollos, Peter, the world, life, death, the things which are now, and the things which are to come, everything is yours!

bwe@1Corinthians:3:23 @ And you belong to Christ and Christ belongs to God!

bwe@1Corinthians:4:3 @ As for me, I care very little what you think about me or how any man judges me. I do not even judge myself.

bwe@1Corinthians:4:6 @ My brothers, I have said these things about Apollos and myself so that you will learn from us to live the way the holy writings say. Then you will not be proud and say, This teacher is better than that one.

bwe@1Corinthians: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:4:8 @ So you think you now have everything you need and are rich! You think you are kings and do not need us! I wish that you really were kings. Then we would be kings along with you.

bwe@1Corinthians:4:10 @ We are fools for Christs sake! But you think Christ has made you wise. We are weak, but you are strong! You have glory, we have shame!

bwe@1Corinthians:4:14 @ I do not write these things to make you ashamed. But you are my dear children and I want to teach you.

bwe@1Corinthians:4:15 @ Even if you have ten thousand people to take care of you as Christians, yet you do not have many fathers. I am your Christian father because I brought you the good news.

bwe@1Corinthians:4:16 @ So I beg you, do as I do.

bwe@1Corinthians:4:17 @ That is why I am sending Timothy to you. I love Timothy very much. He is my Christian son. I can trust him. He will tell you again my Christian ways of living. I teach these same ways in every church meeting everywhere.

bwe@1Corinthians:4:18 @ Some of you are proud of yourselves. You think I am not coming to visit you.

bwe@1Corinthians:4:21 @ Which do you want? Shall I come to you with a stick to beat you, or shall I come with love and a kind spirit?

bwe@1Corinthians:5:1 @ I have heard a very bad report about you. I hear there are wrong sexual ways among you. Even the people who are not Jews do not allow wrong sex such as this among them. A man is living with his fathers wife!

bwe@1Corinthians:5:2 @ Can it be that you are still proud? This should make you very sad. The man who has done this should be put out of the church meeting.

bwe@1Corinthians:5:3 @ My body is not with you, but my spirit is. Just as if I were right there, I have decided what to do about the man who did such a thing as this.

bwe@1Corinthians:5:4 @ Do this in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. When you meet together my spirit will be with you. Then, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, give this man over to Satan. Let Satan punish his body. By this the mans spirit may yet be saved when the Lord Jesus comes.

bwe@1Corinthians:5:5 @ Surely it is not right for you to be proud. Do you not know that only a little yeast in the bread will make all the bread rise?

bwe@1Corinthians:5:6 @ Clean out the old yeast so that you will become like new bread. You are free from the old things. Christ, the Passover Lamb, has been killed for us.

bwe@1Corinthians:5:8 @ I wrote a letter to you. I told you not to be friends with people who use sex the wrong way <FI>with a person they are not married to<Fi>.

bwe@1Corinthians:5:9 @ I did not mean the people of the world <FI>people who are not Christians<Fi> -some of them use sex the wrong way; or always want more things; or steal; or worship idols. To keep away from them altogether would mean you would have to go out of the world.

bwe@1Corinthians:5:10 @ But I wrote to you not to be friends with anyone who says he is a Christian and uses wrong sex, or always wants more, or has idols, or curses, or drinks too much strong drink, or steals. I told you not even to sit down to eat with such a person.

bwe@1Corinthians:5:11 @ Why should I judge the people who are outside the church? You are to judge the church people.

bwe@1Corinthians:5:12 @ God judges those who are outside. The holy writings say, Send the bad person away from among you.

bwe@1Corinthians:6:1 @ When one of you has some complaint against a Christian brother, why does he take him to be judged by those who are not Christians? Why does he not take him to Gods people?

bwe@1Corinthians:6:2 @ Do you not know that some day Gods people will judge the world? If you are going to judge the world, can you not judge small things now?

bwe@1Corinthians:6:3 @ Do you not know that we shall judge angels? Then we should surely be able to judge things in this life!

bwe@1Corinthians:6:4 @ So if you have complaints about things in this life, why do you take them to those who are not church people?

bwe@1Corinthians:6:5 @ Shame on you! Are none of you wise enough to judge between two Christian brothers?

bwe@1Corinthians:6:7 @ It is wrong for you to take each other to court at all. You should be willing to take wrong. It would be better to lose.

bwe@1Corinthians:6:8 @ Instead, you are doing wrong to your own Christian brothers.

bwe@1Corinthians:6:9 @ Do you not know that bad people will have no part in the kingdom where God rules? Do not be fooled. There are some people who will not have part in that place. They are those who commit adultery of any kind, those who have idols, or steal, or are always wanting more, or talk wrong things about people, or drink plenty of strong drink, or take things by force, or curse.

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:6:15 @ Do you not know that your bodies belong to Christ? Shall I take parts of Christ and join them to a bad woman? No, never!

bwe@1Corinthians:6:16 @ Do you not know that the person who joins himself to a bad woman becomes one person with her? The holy writings say, The two people shall be like one body.

bwe@1Corinthians:6:19 @ Do you not know that your body is the house of the Holy Spirit who lives in you? God gave the Holy Spirit to you. Remember, you do not belong to yourself.

bwe@1Corinthians:6:20 @ But you were bought and paid for. So then, bring glory to God with your bodies.

bwe@1Corinthians:7:1 @ You wrote me a letter. Here is my answer to the things in the letter. It is good if a man has nothing to do with a woman.

bwe@1Corinthians:7:5 @ Do not keep from the other what is right for them to have. It is all right to stay from each other for a while, if you both agree to it. Then you will have time for prayer. Afterwards, come together again. If you do not, Satan might tempt you to do wrong.

bwe@1Corinthians:7:6 @ I say you may do this. I do not say that you must do it.

bwe@1Corinthians:7:14 @ The husband who is not a Christian is made holy by the wife. And the wife who is not a Christian is made holy by the husband. If this were not so, then your children would not be holy. But they are holy.

bwe@1Corinthians:7:16 @ Wife, you do not know. Perhaps you will win your husband to the Lord. Husband, you do not know. Perhaps you will win your wife to the Lord.

bwe@1Corinthians:7:21 @ If you were a slave when God called you, do not let that trouble you. But if there is some way for you to get free, then do so.

bwe@1Corinthians:7:23 @ You were bought and paid for. Do not become slaves of men!

bwe@1Corinthians:7:25 @ Here is what I say about those who are not married. (I have no law from the Lord about this. But here is what I think. You can trust me because the Lord has helped me.)

bwe@1Corinthians:7:27 @ If you have married a wife, do not try to be free from her. If you have no wife, do not look for one.

bwe@1Corinthians:7:28 @ But, if you marry, it is not wrong. And if a woman marries, it is not wrong. People who marry will have trouble in this life. And I want to keep you out of it.

bwe@1Corinthians:7:32 @ I want your minds to be free. The man who is not married thinks about the things of the Lord. He tries to please the Lord.

bwe@1Corinthians:7:35 @ I say this to help you, not to make it hard for you. I want to show you what is good. I do not want anything to stop you from serving the Lord.

bwe@1Corinthians:7:36 @ And if a man feels that he is doing the right thing for the woman he is to marry, then let him marry her. That is, if she is no longer young, and if he wants her very much. Then he must do as he thinks best. It is not wrong for him to do it.

bwe@1Corinthians:8:9 @ Perhaps you feel it is all right for you to do it. But be careful! It might make the weak Christian do wrong.

bwe@1Corinthians:8:10 @ You know it is not wrong for you to eat these things. But if a weak Christian sees you eating in the idols house, he will also want to eat food that has been given to an idol. He will do what is against his own belief.

bwe@1Corinthians:8:11 @ You know the truth, and yet your knowledge will make your weak brother do wrong. You have hurt the faith of a brother, for whom Christ died.

bwe@1Corinthians:8:12 @ In this way you do wrong to your brother. You hurt him because he is weak. And in so doing you do wrong to Christ.

bwe@1Corinthians:9:1 @ Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are you people not proof of the work I do for the Lord?

bwe@1Corinthians:9:2 @ If other people do not call me an apostle, yet surely I am an apostle to you. You people are the proof that I am an apostle for the Lord.

bwe@1Corinthians:9:11 @ We have planted seed by teaching you the good things of the Spirit. So we should receive something from you to help us to pay for our living.

bwe@1Corinthians:9:12 @ If it is right for other teachers to receive something from you, then we have more of a right to receive it. But we did not use our right. Instead, we do anything we can so that we will not stop the good news of Christ from going out.

bwe@1Corinthians:9:13 @ You know there are men who do the work in the temple. They get their food from the temple. Those who help to make sacrifices in the temple get a part of the sacrifice.

bwe@1Corinthians:9:15 @ And I am not writing this to ask you to do these things for me. I would rather die! It is something I am proud of, and no one shall take it away from me.

bwe@1Corinthians:9:24 @ You know when people are running a race, they all run. But only one man will win. The way you should run is to run to win.

bwe@1Corinthians:10:1 @ My brothers, here is something you should know. Long ago, all our fathers were led by the cloud of God over them. They all went through the Red Sea.

bwe@1Corinthians:10:13 @ No testing has come to you that other people do not have. But God will not fail you. He will not allow the testing to be too hard for you. No. When the testing comes, God will make a way out for you, so that you can go through the testing.

bwe@1Corinthians:10:15 @ I talk to you as people with good sense. Decide for yourselves about what I say.

bwe@1Corinthians:10:20 @ No. What I mean is this. Those people give the food to bad spirits and not to God. I do not want you to have anything to do with bad spirits.

bwe@1Corinthians:10:21 @ You cannot drink from the cup of the Lord and from the cup of bad spirits. You cannot eat food at the table of the Lord and at the table of bad spirits.

bwe@1Corinthians:10:25 @ Eat any meat that is sold at the market. Do not ask any questions about it because you think, Is it wrong to eat it?

bwe@1Corinthians:10:27 @ If one who is not a believer asks you to come and eat, if you want to go, then eat the food he gives you. Do not ask any questions about it because you fear it might be wrong to eat it.

bwe@1Corinthians:10:28 @ But if anyone says to you, This food has been given to an idol, then do not eat it. Do not eat it because of the one who told you and because it might seem wrong. I mean it might seem wrong, not to you, but to him.

bwe@1Corinthians:10:31 @ So, whether you eat, or drink, or whatever you do, do everything to bring praise to God.

bwe@1Corinthians:11:2 @ You are doing well. You remember everything I told you. And you are doing what I taught you to do.

bwe@1Corinthians:11:3 @ But I want you to know this. Christ is the head of every man. The husband is the head of the wife. And God is the head of Christ.

bwe@1Corinthians:11:13 @ What do you think? Does it look right for a woman to talk to God in public with her head not covered?

bwe@1Corinthians:11:17 @ In the next thing I have to talk about, I cannot say that you are doing well. Your meeting together is more bad than good.

bwe@1Corinthians:11:18 @ First, I hear that in the church meeting you divide yourselves into groups. I think this may be true.

bwe@1Corinthians:11:19 @ You also have groups of people who do not think the same way. Because of them you will soon learn which people please God the most.

bwe@1Corinthians:11:20 @ When you meet together, it is not the Lords supper that you eat.

bwe@1Corinthians:11:22 @ Do you not have your own homes where you can eat and drink? Do you have no respect for the church of God? Do you want to make poor people ashamed? What shall I say to you? Shall I say you are doing well? No, you are not doing well in this matter!

bwe@1Corinthians:11:23 @ The Lord gave me what I taught you. This is what it was. On the night when the Lord Jesus was sold to his enemies, he took bread.

bwe@1Corinthians:11:24 @ He thanked God for it. Then he broke it and said, Take this bread and eat it. This is my body which is broken for you. Do this so that you will remember me.

bwe@1Corinthians:11:25 @ In the same way, after they had eaten, he took the cup. He said, This cup is the new agreement made by my blood. Every time you drink from this cup, do it to remember me.

bwe@1Corinthians:11:26 @ Every time you eat this bread and drink from this cup you tell about the Lords death, until he comes again.

bwe@1Corinthians:11:30 @ That is why many of you are weak and sick. Many have died.

bwe@1Corinthians:11:33 @ So, my Christian brothers, when you come together to eat the Lords supper, wait on your turn.

bwe@1Corinthians:11:34 @ If a man is hungry, he should eat at home. Then when you meet, you will not be found in the wrong. There are other matters. I will talk about them when I come to see you.

bwe@1Corinthians:12:1 @ Now, my Christian brothers, I want you to know something about the gifts given by the Holy Spirit.

bwe@1Corinthians:12:2 @ You know that before you believed in God, you were led by other men to believe in idols that could not talk.

bwe@1Corinthians:12:3 @ Therefore, I want you to understand this. No person who has the Spirit of God ever curses Jesus. And no one can say, Jesus is Lord, if he is not controlled by the Holy Spirit.

bwe@1Corinthians:12:21 @ The eye cannot say to the hand, I do not need you. And the head cannot say to the feet, I do not need you.

bwe@1Corinthians:12:25 @ Now, all of you together are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.

bwe@1Corinthians:12:29 @ You should seek after the best gifts. But I will show you a way that is much better than any of them!

bwe@1Corinthians:14:1 @ Love is the thing you should want more than anything else. But you should also want other things the Spirit gives. You should want very much to be able to speak words from God.

bwe@1Corinthians:14:5 @ I wish that you could all talk in different tongues. But I want even more that you should speak words from God for all to hear and understand. The person who speaks words from God is greater than the person who talks in tongues-unless he is able to tell the meaning of his words, so that he helps all the people in the church.

bwe@1Corinthians:14:6 @ My brothers, if I come to you and talk in tongues of a different language, how can I help you? I cannot help you if I do not tell you something God has shown to me, or something I know, or Gods word, or some teaching.

bwe@1Corinthians:14:9 @ If you say words that people cannot understand, they will not know what you say. You talk for nothing!

bwe@1Corinthians:14:12 @ So it is with you. You want the gifts of the Spirit. Then you should want the gift which will make you better able to help the church people.

bwe@1Corinthians:14:16 @ If you thank God with your spirit only, an ordinary person cannot say, Amen, it is so! He does not know what you say.

bwe@1Corinthians:14:17 @ The way you thank God is good, but it does not help an ordinary person.

bwe@1Corinthians:14:18 @ I thank God that I can talk in tongues more than any of you.

bwe@1Corinthians:14:20 @ My brothers, do not be like children in your thinking. When it comes to doing wrong things, be like small babies. But in your thinking be grown up people.

bwe@1Corinthians:14:23 @ Sometimes all the people of the church may be gathered together. If everyone talks in tongues, and if some people who do not know or believe come in, they will say that you are crazy.

bwe@1Corinthians:14:25 @ Such a person sees everything that has been hidden in his heart. Then he will kneel down and worship God. He will say, It is true. God is here among you.

bwe@1Corinthians:14:26 @ What shall we do about it, my brothers? When you meet together, every one of you has something to help the other. One has a song to sing. One has something to teach people. One has something which God has shown to him. One has something to say in a tongue. One can tell the meaning of a tongue. Do all of these things to help one another.

bwe@1Corinthians:14:31 @ One by one you may speak words from God. In that way, all will learn something and all will be stronger in faith.

bwe@1Corinthians:14:36 @ Do you think that you were the first ones to tell the word of God? Or do you think that you are the only people who have it?

bwe@1Corinthians:14:39 @ So, my brothers, the thing you should want is to speak words from God. But at the same time, do not stop anyone from talking in tongues.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:1 @ Now, my brothers, I want to bring the good news to your minds again. I told it to you and you received it. You now believe it.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:2 @ You are saved by it, if you hold on to what I told you. If you do not, then you have believed for nothing.

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:15:11 @ So it does not matter who gave the message, they or I. This is the message we gave, and this is the message you believed.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:12 @ 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:15:17 @ If Christ was not raised, then what you believe is no good. Your wrong ways have not been forgiven.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:31 @ I face death every day! That is true. Just the way it is true that I am proud of you, my brothers. I am proud that you belong to Christ Jesus.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:34 @ Wake up! Do what is right. Stop doing wrong things. Some of you do not know God at all. I say these things to you to make you ashamed.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:36 @ What foolish questions! The seed you put in the ground must die before it can come to life.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:37 @ You do not put a grown-up plant in the ground. You put in a seed, such as corn, wheat, rice, or something like that.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:50 @ Now I tell you, my brothers, our bodies of flesh and blood can have no place in the kingdom where God rules. A body which will die can have no room in the kingdom of God where people will never die. 51,

bwe@1Corinthians:15:51 @ Listen! I tell you a secret. We will not all die, but we will all be changed. It will happen very quickly, as fast as one can shut his eyes. It will be when the trumpet or horn is blown the last time. Someone will blow the trumpet, dead people will rise, and they will never die again. We ourselves will be changed.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:54 @ Death, you have lost the battle. Death, your power to hurt us is gone.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:57 @ So, my dear brothers, stand strong. Do not be moved from what you believe. Work hard for the Lord. You know that your work for the Lord will not be for nothing.

bwe@1Corinthians:16:1 @ Now I want to tell you about getting money together for Gods people. I told the churches in the province of Galatia how to do it. And I want you to do the same.

bwe@1Corinthians:16:2 @ On the first day of the week, every one of you should put aside and save as much money as you can. Then you will not have to get money together when I come.

bwe@1Corinthians:16:3 @ When I get there, I will send to Jerusalem the men you all choose. They will carry your gift with your letters of approval.

bwe@1Corinthians:16:5 @ I am going through the country of Macedonia. After I have gone through there, I will come to you.

bwe@1Corinthians:16:6 @ Maybe I will stay with you for a while, or even for the winter. Then you can help me on the way to the next place I go.

bwe@1Corinthians:16:7 @ I do not want to stop off to see you just while I am going through. I want to spend some time with you, if it is the Lords will.

bwe@1Corinthians:16:10 @ If Timothy comes to you, be good to him, so that his heart will not be troubled while he is with you. He is working for the Lord, just as I am.

bwe@1Corinthians:16:12 @ Now about our brother Apollos. I have asked him many times to visit you with the others. But he does not want to come now. He will come when he has the time.

bwe@1Corinthians:16:13 @ Be awake! Stand strong in what you believe. Show that you are men. Be strong.

bwe@1Corinthians:16:15 @ You know that Stephanas and his family were the first people in the country of Greece to believe the good news. They have made up their minds to help Gods people always.

bwe@1Corinthians:16:16 @ So, my brothers, I ask you to obey men like that. And join happily with all others who are helpers and workers.

bwe@1Corinthians:16:17 @ I am glad that Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus have come. They have made up for your not being here.

bwe@1Corinthians:16:18 @ They have made me happy and you also. Show that you know the value of such men.

bwe@1Corinthians:16:19 @ The people in the churches of Asia send greetings to you. Aquila and Priscilla and the Christians who meet in their house send you many Christian greetings.

bwe@1Corinthians:16:20 @ All the Christian brothers send you greetings. Greet each other with a holy kiss.

bwe@1Corinthians:16:23 @ May the Lord Jesus bless you.

bwe@1Corinthians:16:24 @ I send my Christian love to you all.

bwe@2Corinthians:1:2 @ May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ bless you with their loving kindness and peace. Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! He is a very, very kind Father to us. He is a God who always comforts and helps people.

bwe@2Corinthians:1:5 @ When we have trouble, it is for your sake so that you will be helped and saved. When we are comforted, this helps you. Then you will stand strong when you have the same troubles we have.

bwe@2Corinthians:1:6 @ Our hope for you is strong. If you have the same trouble we have had, then you will also have the same comfort and help we have. This we know.

bwe@2Corinthians:1:7 @ 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:1:10 @ But you must help us also. You must talk to God about us. When many people ask God to help us, then many people will thank God for the way he has blessed us. ourselves. Our hearts tell us that we have lived the right way in the world, and even more so toward you. We have lived a clean and true life as God wants us to. We have not trusted in the wise things of men, but in the blessing of God.

bwe@2Corinthians:1:11 @ We write you nothing but what you have been reading out to the people, and what you all know. I hope that you will really know what is right even to the end.

bwe@2Corinthians:1:12 @ You already know something about us. I hope that you will come to know us fully. On the day when the Lord Jesus comes you will be proud of us. So too will we be proud of you.

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:1:19 @ It is God who makes us stand strong with you in Christ. God has chosen us and put his mark on us.

bwe@2Corinthians:1:21 @ Let God take my life if what I say is not true. I did not go to Corinth because I did not want to make you sad.

bwe@2Corinthians:1:22 @ We do not rule over what you believe. But we work with you to make you glad. You are strong already by believing as you do.

bwe@2Corinthians:2:1 @ I made up my mind that I would not go to visit you again if I had to make you sad.

bwe@2Corinthians:2:2 @ For if I make you sad, who is going to make me glad? No one, but the one I made sad.

bwe@2Corinthians:2:3 @ That is why I wrote the letter. I did not want to come and be made sad by those who should make me glad. I am sure that what makes me glad makes you all glad too.

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:2:5 @ That man has been punished enough by what most of you did to him.

bwe@2Corinthians:2:6 @ So now, you ought to forgive him and comfort him. If you do not, then he may be so sad he cannot bear it.

bwe@2Corinthians:2:7 @ So I beg you, show your love to him again.

bwe@2Corinthians:2:8 @ Here is why I wrote to you. I wanted to test you to find out if you obey me in all matters.

bwe@2Corinthians:2:9 @ Anyone whom you forgive, I also forgive. And if I have had anything to forgive, I have already forgiven it for your sakes, just as if we were standing before Christ.

bwe@2Corinthians:3:1 @ Do you think we are starting again to tell how good we are? Do we need letters to tell about us, as some teachers do? We do not need letters to you or from you to praise us.

bwe@2Corinthians:3:2 @ You yourselves are our letter. This letter has been written in our hearts. All people can read it and understand it.

bwe@2Corinthians:3:3 @ All can see that you are a letter from Christ written by us. It is not written in ink, but it is written in the Spirit of the living God. It is not written on pieces of rock, but on the hearts of people.

bwe@2Corinthians:4:5 @ We do not talk about ourselves, but about Christ Jesus our Lord. And we are your slaves for Jesus sake.

bwe@2Corinthians:4:13 @ We believe the same way as the one who wrote, I believed, and so I talked. We also believe, and so we talk to you.

bwe@2Corinthians:4:15 @ All this is happening for you so that the blessings of God will reach more people. Then more people will thank God. And this will make Gods name greater. gets weak, but our heart gets new strength day after day.

bwe@2Corinthians:5:10 @ We must all stand before Christ to be judged. Then we will receive pay. If we have done well, our pay will be good. If we have not done well, our pay will not be good. must be feared, so we try to get people to believe. God knows what we are and what we do. And we hope that in your hearts you, too, know.

bwe@2Corinthians:5:11 @ No, we are not praising ourselves again. But we are telling you this so that you may really be proud of us. Then you will be ready to answer people who are proud of themselves. They are proud of the things which can be seen.But in their hearts they have nothing to be proud of.

bwe@2Corinthians:5:12 @ If we are crazy, it is for Gods sake. If we are right in our minds, it is for your sakes.

bwe@2Corinthians:5:16 @ So, if any man belongs to Christ, he is a new person. His old life has gone. You see, he has begun a new life.

bwe@2Corinthians:6:1 @ We work with God. So we beg you, do not take Gods blessing and get nothing from it.

bwe@2Corinthians:6:2 @ Because God has said. I heard you call at the right time. And I helped you in the day when I saved you. See, now is the right time. Now is the day to be saved.

bwe@2Corinthians:6:6 @ We help you with our knowledge and by living a clean life, with the help of the Spirit. We are patient and kind. We help you by the Holy Spirit. We have shown true love.

bwe@2Corinthians:6:7 @ We have told you the truth with the power of God. These are the right things to use in our fight, and we have used them with both hands.

bwe@2Corinthians:6:11 @ We talk plainly to you people in Corinth. We love you with all our hearts.

bwe@2Corinthians:6:12 @ We have not stopped loving you, but you do not love us.

bwe@2Corinthians:6:13 @ I say this as to my own children. You should love us with all your hearts. with those who do not believe. You and they are not equal. How can people who do right, work with those who do not obey God? How can light and darkness be in the same place?

bwe@2Corinthians:6:16 @ So the Lord says, Come away from among bad people. Stay away from them. Do not touch what is not clean. And I will receive you.

bwe@2Corinthians:6:17 @ I will be your father. And you shall be my sons and daughters. The Lord who is ruler of all says that.

bwe@2Corinthians:7:1 @ My dear people, since God has promised us these things, we should make ourselves clean. We should clean out everything that makes our lives or our spirits dirty. We should try to be altogether holy because we respect God with fear. place in your hearts. We have not done wrong to anyone. We have not hurt anyone. We have not taken anything from anyone.

bwe@2Corinthians:7:2 @ I do not say this to bring something against you. I have already told you that we love you very much. If we live or if we die, we will be together with you.

bwe@2Corinthians:7:3 @ I really trust you. I am very proud of you. I have received much comfort. Even in all of our troubles I am very glad.

bwe@2Corinthians:7:6 @ You comforted him, and that comforted us. He told us that you wanted very much to see us. He told us that you were very sorry for what you had done. He told us that you want to stand with me. So now I am even more happy. 8,

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:7:8 @ I do not like to make you sad, but I am glad that it made you sad and made you turn from your wrong ways. You took it all as from God. So then, we did not really hurt you.

bwe@2Corinthians:7:10 @ See what happened. When you were sad, the way God wanted you to be, then you tried to do the right thing. You wanted to free yourself from wrong. You hated what is wrong. You were afraid. You wanted very much to do what is right. You stood for the right. You punished wrong doing. In every way you showed that you did right in this matter.

bwe@2Corinthians:7:11 @ 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:7:14 @ He loves you even more when he remembers how you all obeyed him. You feared and trembled.

bwe@2Corinthians:7:15 @ I am glad that I can always trust you.

bwe@2Corinthians:8:1 @ My brothers, let me tell you how God has blessed the churches in Macedonia.

bwe@2Corinthians:8:3 @ I can tell you because I saw it myself. They gave as much as they could and even more than that. They did it all because they wanted to.

bwe@2Corinthians:8:6 @ That is why we asked Titus to see about your gift. He started you off in your giving. And so he is the one to see that you finish it.

bwe@2Corinthians:8:7 @ We remember how well you do in everything. You do well in believing, in talking, in knowing things, in trying your best, and in the way you love us. So now, do well in giving this gift.

bwe@2Corinthians:8:8 @ I am not saying that you must do it. But I want to prove how strong your love is. That is why I have told you how other people show their love.

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:8:10 @ I tell you what I think. It is best for you to finish what you started a year ago. You were the first to think of helping, and you started to give money.

bwe@2Corinthians:8:11 @ So now, finish doing it. You wanted to do it, so now finish it. Give as much as you can.

bwe@2Corinthians:8:13 @ I do not want it to be easy for others and hard for you.

bwe@2Corinthians:8:14 @ I want it to be equal for everyone. Right now, you have plenty and are able to help them. Another time, when they have plenty, they will help you when you need it. In that way things will be equal.

bwe@2Corinthians:8:15 @ The holy writings say, The person who had plenty did not have too much. And the person who did not have much, had enough. care for you into the heart of Titus that I have.

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:8:20 @ And we are also sending another brother with them. We have found him to be glad to help us in many matters, many times. And now he is much more glad to help because he trusts you very much.

bwe@2Corinthians:8:22 @ Now then, prove that you love them. Prove that what we have said about you is true. Then the churches will know it.

bwe@2Corinthians:9:1 @ Of course, I really do not need to write to you about the money to be given to Gods people.

bwe@2Corinthians:9:2 @ I know that you wanted to help. I am proud to tell the people of Macedonia about you. I tell them, The people in Greece have been ready for a year. And what you did has made most of them want to do something too.

bwe@2Corinthians:9:3 @ But I am sending these brothers so that what we have said about you will be true in this way. I want you to be really ready with the gift, just as I said you would be.

bwe@2Corinthians:9:4 @ If some men from Macedonia come with me and see that you are not ready, then we will be ashamed, and you too. We will be ashamed that we were so sure.

bwe@2Corinthians:9:5 @ So I thought it would be good to send these brothers to you first. They will get this gift ready which you promised. Then it will be ready like a gift, and not as if you were forced to give it.

bwe@2Corinthians:9:8 @ God is able to give you even more blessings than you need. In all things you will always have all you need for yourselves, and you will have enough to help all others.

bwe@2Corinthians:9:10 @ God is the one who gives seed to plant and bread to eat. He will give you enough to give away and will make it become more and more. Of the good things you do he will give you a big harvest.

bwe@2Corinthians:9:11 @ You will become rich in every way. And then you will have enough to give plenty to all people. And many people will thank God for your gifts which we will bring them.

bwe@2Corinthians:9:13 @ This gift will prove something to them. They will praise God because you obey the good news of Christ. They will praise God because you have given this gift to help them and all the others.

bwe@2Corinthians:9:14 @ They will love you and talk to God about you, because God has blessed you very much.

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:10:2 @ I beg you, do not force me to talk hard words when I come. I have made up my mind to talk hard words against some people. They think we are living for the things in this world.

bwe@2Corinthians:10:6 @ Only when you all obey, then we are ready to punish anyone who will not obey.

bwe@2Corinthians:10:7 @ Surely you can see this. If one person is sure that he belongs to Christ, then he should see that we too belong to Christ just as he does.

bwe@2Corinthians:10:8 @ The Lord gave us power to build you up, not to break you down. Maybe I talk about it too much. But I feel I am right in talking about it.

bwe@2Corinthians:10:9 @ I do not want you to think that I am trying to make you afraid by my letters.

bwe@2Corinthians:10:13 @ We will not talk of things we did not do. No, we will only be proud of those things which God has given us to do. And he has sent us even as far as you.

bwe@2Corinthians:10:14 @ We are not going farther than we should when we come to you. We were the first to come all the way to you with the good news of Christ.

bwe@2Corinthians:10:15 @ We will not be proud of other mens work which we did not do. We hope that you will believe more strongly, so that we can do more work among you, as God gives it to us.

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:11:2 @ I love you as God loves you. I see you as a woman who has not been married and I am giving you to be the wife of a husband. That husband is Christ.

bwe@2Corinthians:11:3 @ But the snake fooled Eve by his trick. And I am afraid that your minds will be drawn away from a clean, pure love of Christ.

bwe@2Corinthians:11:4 @ You listen to a new man when he comes to tell you about a different Jesus, which is not the one we told you about. And when you receive a spirit and a message which are not the ones you had first, then you listen too much.

bwe@2Corinthians:11:6 @ Maybe I am not a good talker, but I surely know what I am talking about! Yes, we made this plain to you in every way in all things.

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:11:8 @ I took pay from other churches. I made them poor so that I might help you.

bwe@2Corinthians:11:9 @ When I was with you and needed money, I did not make any of you pay me. When the brothers came from Macedonia, they gave me what I needed. So I was not, and I will not be, any trouble to you.

bwe@2Corinthians:11:11 @ Why is this? Is it because I do not love you? God knows that I love you.

bwe@2Corinthians:11:15 @ So it is not strange if his workers also try to make themselves look like Gods workers who do right. They will come to an end like the work they do! think that I am foolish. But if you do, then please listen to me as if I were foolish. I also want to do a little talking about myself.

bwe@2Corinthians:11:18 @ Since you are wise, you still agree to listen to foolish people.

bwe@2Corinthians:11:19 @ You listen to a man even if he makes slaves of you, even if he spends all your money, even if he catches you in a trap, even if he is proud of himself, even if he slaps you in the face.

bwe@2Corinthians:12:9 @ But he said to me, My kindness and strength is enough for you. When you are weak, my power is strong. So then, I am very glad to talk about how weak I am so that the power of Christ may live in me.

bwe@2Corinthians:12:10 @ So then, for the sake of Christ I am glad to be weak, to have people say wrong things about me, to be poor, to have people trouble me, and to have hard times. When I am weak, that is the time I am really strong, have been acting like one with no sense, but you have made me do it. You should have been talking about the good things I have done. The very best apostles are not one bit better than I am, even though I am nothing at all.

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:12:12 @ In what way did you not receive as much as the other churches? Only this! I did not trouble you to pay me. Forgive me for the wrong I did you!

bwe@2Corinthians:12:13 @ Now, I am ready to come to you for the third time. And I will not trouble you to pay me. I do not want what belongs to you, but I want you. The children should not save up for their parents, but the parents should do it for their children.

bwe@2Corinthians:12:14 @ For my part, I am glad to spend what I have, and to spend myself for the sake of your souls. But it seems to me that the more I love you the less you love me!

bwe@2Corinthians:12:15 @ All right then, I did not trouble you for any money. But some of you think that I have been mean and played a trick on you.

bwe@2Corinthians:12:16 @ Did I send anyone to you to get something for myself? No!

bwe@2Corinthians:12:18 @ Am I saying all this just to you? Are we just trying to make ourselves look right to you? No, we say this before God and in Christ. And my dear people, I have done it all to make you better Christians.

bwe@2Corinthians:12:19 @ I want to be pleased with you when I come. But I am afraid I will not be. And I am afraid that you will not be pleased with me. I fear that I may find quarrelling, jealousy, anger, and that I will find you are enemies to each other, that you are spoiling each others names, that you are telling stories about each other, that you are proud and do not obey rulers.

bwe@2Corinthians:12:20 @ And I am afraid that when I come my God will make me ashamed of you. I am afraid that my heart will be very sad about you. Many have been doing wrong things for a long time. Many have not turned away from their dirty ways, their wrong use of sex, and the things they should be ashamed of.

bwe@2Corinthians:13:1 @ This is the third time I am coming to you. The holy writings say Any complaint must be proved by the words of two or three people.

bwe@2Corinthians:13:2 @ I have told you before, when I visited you the second time. And I tell you again now, while I am not there. When I come again, I will punish those who did wrong before and the others who have done wrong since.

bwe@2Corinthians:13:3 @ This will be the proof you want that Christ speaks through me. Christ is not weak when he deals with you. No, he shows his power among you.

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@2Corinthians:13:5 @ Look at yourselves and check to see if you still believe. Test yourselves. Do you not know Jesus Christ is in you? If he is not in you, you do not pass the test.

bwe@2Corinthians:13:6 @ I hope you will know that we pass the test.

bwe@2Corinthians:13:7 @ We ask God to help you that you will do nothing wrong. That is not to show you that we pass the test. We want you to do what is right even if we do not pass the test.

bwe@2Corinthians:13:9 @ We are glad to be weak, if you are made strong. And we ask God for this too, that you may become perfect.

bwe@2Corinthians:13:10 @ That is why I am writing these things to you the way I am, before I reach you. Then, when I come to you, I do not want to be hard on you. I do not want to use the power which the Lord has given me. He gave it to me to help to make you better Christians, not to break you down.

bwe@2Corinthians:13:11 @ Now, my brothers, in closing I say, Goodbye. Be what you should be. Listen to what I say. Be good to each other. Agree with one another. Live in peace with one another. And the God who gives love and peace will be with you.

bwe@2Corinthians:13:13 @ All of Gods people send greetings to you.

bwe@2Corinthians:13:14 @ And to all of you I say, May the kindness and blessing of the Lord Jesus Christ be upon you. May God show you his love. May you all have the Holy Spirit with you.

bwe@Galatians:1:3 @ May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ bless you with his loving kindness and give you peace.

bwe@Galatians:1:6 @ I am very much surprised. It is so soon, and you are leaving God who called you by the love of Christ. Instead you are listening to another good news.

bwe@Galatians:1:7 @ There is really no other good news. But some people are making you think wrong things. They want to change the good news of Christ.

bwe@Galatians:1:8 @ We are wrong if we tell you a different kind of good news. Even an angel from heaven is wrong to tell you something different. Let a punishment from God come upon us if we tell you a different kind of good news.

bwe@Galatians:1:9 @ We have said it before, and I say it again now. A curse be on any one who tells you a kind of good news which is not the good news we have already told you.

bwe@Galatians:1:11 @ My brothers, I want you to know this. The good news which I told you is not mans good news.

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:1:20 @ God knows that what I am writing to you is not a lie.

bwe@Galatians:2:5 @ But we did not let them tell us what to do, no, not even for one minute. In that way the real good news will be yours always.

bwe@Galatians:2:14 @ But I saw they were not doing right. They were not obeying the true teaching of the good news. So I said to Peter in front of them all, You are a Jew. But you live the way people do who are not Jews. How then can you force those who are not Jews to live the way the Jews do?

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:3:3 @ Have you no sense at all? You began living your new life by the power of the Spirit. And are you now trying to finish living it by your own power <FI>to keep the law<Fi>?

bwe@Galatians:3:4 @ So many things happened to you. Was it all for nothing? Surely it was not for nothing.

bwe@Galatians:3:5 @ God gives you the Spirit. He does wonderful works among you. Does he do this because you obey the law? No, he does it because you heard the word of God and believed it.

bwe@Galatians:3:7 @ You see then, the people who believe God are children of Abraham.

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:3:11 @ Now, you can see this. No man is called a good man by God because he obeys the law. The holy writings say, Those who are right with God shall live by faith.

bwe@Galatians:3:26 @ You are all Gods children because you have believed in Christ Jesus.

bwe@Galatians:3:27 @ All of you who have been baptised into Christ have taken Christ as your own.

bwe@Galatians:3:28 @ There is no longer any difference between a Jew and one who is not a Jew; between a slave and a free man; between a man and a woman. When you are in the body of Christ Jesus, you are all alike.

bwe@Galatians:3:29 @ If you belong to Christ, you are Abrahams children. And if you are Abrahams children, you will receive the blessing that God has promised.

bwe@Galatians:4:6 @ Because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into your hearts. The Spirit calls out, Father!

bwe@Galatians:4:7 @ So then, because of what God has done, you are no longer a slave but you are a son. And because you are a son, you will receive what he promised.

bwe@Galatians:4:8 @ At first, you did not know God. At that time you obeyed things which are not real gods.

bwe@Galatians:4:9 @ But now you know God. That is, God knows you. Then why do you turn to things that are weak and can do no good? Do you want to obey them again?

bwe@Galatians:4:10 @ You have holy days, holy months, holy seasons, and holy years.

bwe@Galatians:4:11 @ I fear that all my work for you has been for nothing.

bwe@Galatians:4:12 @ My brothers, I beg you, be like me because I am like you. You did me no wrong.

bwe@Galatians:4:13 @ You know that I was sick when I first told you the good news.

bwe@Galatians:4:14 @ My sickness troubled you. But you did not think wrongly of me or turn away from me. You received me as if I were an angel from God, as if I were Christ Jesus.

bwe@Galatians:4:15 @ Why are you not happy any more? I saw myself that you would have taken out your own eyes and given them to me if you could do such a thing.

bwe@Galatians:4:16 @ Do you hate me because I tell you the truth?

bwe@Galatians:4:17 @ Other people are trying hard to get you on their side. But they do not mean to help you. They want to get you away from Christ so that you will listen to them.

bwe@Galatians:4:18 @ Of course, it is good if someone tries to help you, but only if it is for a good reason. It is always good, not only when I am with you.

bwe@Galatians:4:19 @ My dear children, I feel pain for you again, like a mother when her child is being born. I will feel pain until Christ lives in your heart.

bwe@Galatians:4:20 @ I wish I could be with you now, and not have to talk this way. But I am troubled about you.

bwe@Galatians:4:21 @ Tell me, you people that want the law to control you, why do you not listen to the law?

bwe@Galatians:4:27 @ The holy writings say, The woman who has not had a child, be happy! You who do not feel the pain of bearing a child, open your mouth and shout. The woman who is left alone has more children than the woman who has a husband!

bwe@Galatians:5:1 @ Christ has made us really free. So, stay free! Do not let yourselves be made slaves again.

bwe@Galatians:5:2 @ I, Paul, say to you again that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ is no help to you at all.

bwe@Galatians:5:4 @ Some of you are trying to obey the law, so that God will call you good. If you do this, you have been cut off from Christ. You have lost the blessing of God.

bwe@Galatians:5:7 @ You were doing well. Who stopped you from doing what is right?

bwe@Galatians:5:8 @ God calls you but he is not the one who made you change your minds.

bwe@Galatians:5:10 @ The Lord makes me sure that you will not think any other way. But the teacher who is troubling your minds will be punished. It does not matter who he is.

bwe@Galatians:5:12 @ These teachers are troubling your minds. How I wish they would cut themselves off!

bwe@Galatians:5:13 @ You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not take that to mean that you can do as you please. But work for each other because you love each other.

bwe@Galatians:5:14 @ This one law is the whole law: Love your neighbour as you love yourself.

bwe@Galatians:5:15 @ But if you bite and chew each other, be careful, or you will be killed by each other.

bwe@Galatians:5:16 @ So I say, let the Spirit tell you what you should do. Then you will not do the wrong things you yourselves want to do.

bwe@Galatians:5:17 @ People want to do wrong things that the Spirit does not want them to do. And the Spirit wants people to do things they do not want to do. The Spirit and the wrong things you want to do are against each other, so that you do not do what you yourself want to do.

bwe@Galatians:5:18 @ If you do what the Spirit wants you to do, then you will be free from the law.

bwe@Galatians:5:21 @ They want what other people have. They even kill. They drink too much strong drink. They like to take part in loud drinking and dancing. They do other things like these. I have told you before and I tell you again. Those who do these things will not be in the kingdom of God.

bwe@Galatians:5:22 @ But these are the things which the Spirit wants you to show: love, joy, peace, patience, being kind, being good, being true, being gentle, and keeping the body under control. There is no law that says, These things are wrong.

bwe@Galatians:6:1 @ My brothers, perhaps a man has done something wrong. If so, you who are strong in the Spirit must help him to do the right thing again. Help him in a gentle way. Take care yourself, that you are not tried and will want to do wrong.

bwe@Galatians:6:2 @ Help each other in your troubles. In that way you obey Christs law.

bwe@Galatians:6:11 @ (See, I am writing this to you in big letters with my own hand.)

bwe@Galatians:6:12 @ Some people want to do things that can be seen. They try to force you to be circumcised. They want to hide from trouble which would come to them if they talk about the cross of Christ.

bwe@Galatians:6:13 @ Even those who are circumcised do not obey the law. But they want you to be circumcised. Then they can be proud that they made you do it.

bwe@Galatians:6:18 @ My brothers, may the kindness and grace of our Lord Jesus Christ bless your spirit. May he do it!

bwe@Ephesians:1:2 @ May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ in their kindness give you peace.

bwe@Ephesians:1:13 @ You also believed in Christ when you heard the true message. That message is the good news by which you were saved. You received the Holy Spirit whom God had promised. You were marked as belonging to him.

bwe@Ephesians:1:15 @ Here is why I always thank God for you. I have heard that you believe in the Lord Jesus and love all of Gods people. I think of you when I talk to God.

bwe@Ephesians:1:16 @ He is the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father who is very great and wonderful. I ask him to give you a mind that is wise and will understand about him.

bwe@Ephesians:1:17 @ I ask him that you may understand these things in your hearts. I ask him that you may know what a great hope you have because God has called you. I ask him that you may know the rich and great blessings God has promised to his people.

bwe@Ephesians:1:18 @ I ask him that you may know the wonderful power he has to do things for us who believe in Christ. His power is very strong.

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:2:2 @ At one time you did those wrong things, just like the people around you. You obeyed the ruler who has the power over things in the air. That ruler is the spirit who is working now in the people who do not obey God.

bwe@Ephesians:2:5 @ We were dead because of the wrong things we had done. He has made us alive with Christ. You have been saved by his love and kindness.

bwe@Ephesians:2:8 @ You have been saved by Gods love and kindness because you believed. It was not because of anything you did, but it was a gift from God.

bwe@Ephesians:2:9 @ You were not saved by trying to do what the law says. So no one can be proud about it.

bwe@Ephesians:2:11 @ So remember that you were not born Jews. (They call you The Uncircumcised).

bwe@Ephesians:2:12 @ Remember you did not know Christ at that time. You were far away from the people of Israel. You had no part in the agreements which God promised to them. You had no hope and you were without God in this world.

bwe@Ephesians:2:13 @ At one time you were far away, but now you have been brought near to God by the blood <FI>death<Fi> of Jesus Christ.

bwe@Ephesians:2:17 @ He came and said that there is now peace. There is peace for you who were far away from God and for those who were near.

bwe@Ephesians:2:19 @ So then you are no longer strangers or people far away. But you live with Gods people and belong to Gods family.

bwe@Ephesians:2:20 @ Gods family is like a house and you are part of the building. The apostles and prophets are like the lower walls of the house and you are the building on this foundation. Jesus Christ is the big stone at the corner.

bwe@Ephesians:2:22 @ You too are a part of this house. God himself lives in this house by his Spirit.

bwe@Ephesians:3:1 @ That is why I, Paul, am a prisoner who belongs to Jesus Christ. It is for the sake of you people who are not Jews.

bwe@Ephesians:3:2 @ I am sure you have heard that God gave me work to do for you.

bwe@Ephesians:3:3 @ He showed me what his plan was. And I have already written a little about it to you.

bwe@Ephesians:3:4 @ When you read this, you can understand why I know about his plan for Christ.

bwe@Ephesians:3:13 @ So I ask you not to be sad when you think of the troubles I have for your sake. You should be proud about it.

bwe@Ephesians:3:16 @ I ask him to make you very strong in heart by his Spirit. He has great and wonderful blessings and is able to do so because of the fullness of his glory.

bwe@Ephesians:3:17 @ And I ask that Christ may live in your hearts because you believe in him. I ask that you may live and grow in love.

bwe@Ephesians:3:18 @ I ask that God will give you power to know how wide and long and high and deep the love of Christ is. All Christians should know that.

bwe@Ephesians:3:19 @ I ask God that you may know the love of Christ which is more than we can ever know. I ask that you may be filled with everything that God has.

bwe@Ephesians:4:1 @ I am a prisoner who belongs to the Lord. I beg you, live the way people should live who have been called by God.

bwe@Ephesians:4:3 @ The Spirit has made you all one. Try to stay like that. May you be at peace with one another.

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:4:17 @ Here then is what the Lord has told me to say. You must not live like the people who do not believe in God. They do not think clearly.

bwe@Ephesians:4:20 @ That is not what you have learned from Christ!

bwe@Ephesians:4:21 @ You were taught by him, and Jesus has the truth!

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:4:26 @ When you are angry, do not do anything wrong. And do not stay angry after the sun goes down.

bwe@Ephesians:4:27 @ Do not let the devil control you.

bwe@Ephesians:4:29 @ Do not let any bad words come out of your mouth. But say good things that will help people. Then those who hear you will also be blessed by what you say.

bwe@Ephesians:4:30 @ Do nothing that makes the Holy Spirit feel sad. He is the mark God has put on you until the day you will belong to God altogether.

bwe@Ephesians:4:31 @ You must stop all hate, big and small anger, loud talk, saying wrong things about people, and all wanting to do wrong things to people.

bwe@Ephesians:4:32 @ Be kind to one another. Have a loving and understanding heart. Forgive one another because God has forgiven you for Christs sake.

bwe@Ephesians:5:1 @ So try to be like God, because you are his own dear children.

bwe@Ephesians:5:3 @ As Gods people, you should not even talk about wrong living, any kind of wrong sex or wanting things you cannot have.

bwe@Ephesians:5:4 @ There should be no dirty talk, no foolish talk, no funny stories with a wrong meaning. This is not a good way to talk. But what you should do is thank God.

bwe@Ephesians:5:5 @ You know this. There are people who use sex wrongly, and who are always wanting what others have. No such a person has any place in the kingdom of Christ and of God. He is worshipping an idol.

bwe@Ephesians:5:6 @ Do not let anyone fool you by their empty talk. It is because people do these wrong things that God is very angry. He is angry with the people who do not obey him.

bwe@Ephesians:5:8 @ You were in the dark before, but now the Lord has given you light. Live like people who have the light.

bwe@Ephesians:5:14 @ So it is said, Wake up, you who are asleep! Rise from death. And Christ will give you light.

bwe@Ephesians:5:15 @ Take care how you live. Do not live like people who are not wise, but live like people who are wise.

bwe@Ephesians:5:19 @ Speak to one another by the songs in the holy writings, and songs of praise, and Christian songs. Sing and make a joyful noise in your hearts to the Lord.

bwe@Ephesians:5:21 @ Give way to each other because you respect Christ.

bwe@Ephesians:5:22 @ Wives, obey your husbands as you obey the Lord.

bwe@Ephesians:5:25 @ Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church people. He gave his life for the church.

bwe@Ephesians:5:33 @ However, each one of you should love his wife as he loves himself. And the wife should respect her husband.

bwe@Ephesians:6:1 @ Children, obey your parents as the Lord wants you to. This is the right thing to do. 2,

bwe@Ephesians:6:2 @ Respect your father and mother. This is the first law of God with a promise: So that all will be well with you, and that you may live long on earth.

bwe@Ephesians:6:3 @ Fathers, do not make your children angry. But teach them the things children need to know, and tell them what they must not do. Teach them what Christ would teach them.

bwe@Ephesians:6:4 @ Servants, obey your boss. Respect him with all your heart and try to please him as you would Christ.

bwe@Ephesians:6:5 @ Obey not only when he is looking at you, as if you were pleasing a man. But obey as the servants of Christ, and do with all your heart what God wants you to do.

bwe@Ephesians:6:6 @ Work gladly as if you were working for the Lord and not for men.

bwe@Ephesians:6:7 @ You know that the Lord will pay every man for the good things he does. It does not matter if he is a servant or a free man.

bwe@Ephesians:6:8 @ And you who are bosses, be good to your servants also. Do not talk loud, hard words to them. Remember that both their Lord and yours is in heaven. He does not love one person more than another.

bwe@Ephesians:6:10 @ Use everything that God has given you so that you can fight against the tricks of the devil.

bwe@Ephesians:6:12 @ So use everything that God has given you, that you can fight when the bad time comes. You will need to do everything you can do to stand!

bwe@Ephesians:6:13 @ So then, stand and hold on tight to the truth like you put on a belt. Do what is right. Wear it as a cover for your body.

bwe@Ephesians:6:14 @ You have the good news of peace. Wear that like shoes on your feet.

bwe@Ephesians:6:15 @ You believe in God. Take that and cover all of yourself with it. With that you can stop all the poison arrows of the devil.

bwe@Ephesians:6:16 @ You have been saved. Wear your salvation like you wear something on your head to protect yourself. And take with you the big knife or sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

bwe@Ephesians:6:17 @ Always talk to God in the Spirit. Talk to him about everything and ask him for what you need. Put your mind on what you are saying, asking God to help all his people.

bwe@Ephesians:6:20 @ Tychicus will tell you all about me and what I am doing. He is a brother whom I love and a very good helper in the Lords work.

bwe@Ephesians:6:21 @ I am sending him to you so that you will know about us, and so that he may comfort your hearts.

bwe@Philippians:1:2 @ May the loving kindness of God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ bless you and give you peace.

bwe@Philippians:1:3 @ Every time I think of you I thank God for you.

bwe@Philippians:1:4 @ I have joy in my heart every time I ask God to help you.

bwe@Philippians:1:6 @ God began to do a good work in you. And I am sure that he will keep on doing it until he has finished it. He will keep on until the day Jesus Christ comes again.

bwe@Philippians:1:7 @ I have a right to feel this way about you all because I love you very much. God is good to me and you all share in this goodness. You share in my troubles in prison. You share in my work of staying true to the good news of Jesus.

bwe@Philippians:1:8 @ I love you all as Jesus Christ loves you. God knows that what I say is true.

bwe@Philippians:1:10 @ When I talk to God I ask that you may have more and more love. I ask him that you will also know and understand, so that you will be able to see what things are right. I want you to be clean with nothing wrong in you when Jesus Christ comes back.

bwe@Philippians:1:11 @ I want you to be doing right by the help of Jesus Christ. That will make people praise God and will show how great he is.

bwe@Philippians:1:12 @ My brothers, I want you to know that what has happened to me has made more people know about the good news.

bwe@Philippians:1:19 @ Yes, I will keep on being glad about it. I know that you will talk to God about me, and I know that the Spirit of Jesus Christ will help me. So I know that things will work out for me to be free.

bwe@Philippians:1:24 @ But you need me more to stay here.

bwe@Philippians:1:25 @ Because I am sure of this, I know that I will stay on and be here with you all. That will help you to be better Christians and happy ones.

bwe@Philippians:1:26 @ Then you will be even more happy about what Christ Jesus has done for me because I have come back to you.

bwe@Philippians:1:27 @ So whatever happens, live as people who believe the good news of Christ should live. Then, if I come and see you, or if I am away and hear about you, you will be standing strong together in one spirit. With one mind you will be working hard together for the good news.

bwe@Philippians:1:28 @ Do not fear in any way those who are working against you. It is God who shows them they are lost and you are saved.

bwe@Philippians:1:29 @ God has given you a special gift. You can not only believe in Christ but also suffer for him.

bwe@Philippians:1:30 @ You have the same trouble which you saw me have. And you hear now that I still have it.

bwe@Philippians:2:1 @ Does Christ speak to you? Does love call to you? Do you have a part in the Holy Spirit? Do you have any love and care for others?

bwe@Philippians:2:3 @ Do not try to prove you are better than others. Do not be proud of yourselves, but be humble. Think of other people as being better than yourselves.

bwe@Philippians:2:4 @ Each one of you should not think only about himself, but about other people also.

bwe@Philippians:2:12 @ My dear people, you have always obeyed me. God has saved you from wrong ways. Now show this by the good things that you do. You must live that way, not only when I am with you, but much more now that I am not with you. Think of how wrong it will be if you do not. Try hard to work out how to do it.

bwe@Philippians:2:13 @ For God is at work in you. He helps you want to do it. And he helps you do what he wants you to do.

bwe@Philippians:2:15 @ In that way you will be completely good. No one will be able to say anything wrong about you. You will be Gods good children living amongst bad people. Among them you will shine like lights in the world.

bwe@Philippians:2:16 @ You will have the message of life for them. I will be proud of you when Christ comes. My work and trouble will not be for nothing.

bwe@Philippians:2:17 @ The life you live because you believe in God is like a sacrifice. Even if I am killed, it will be like wine which people pour on a sacrifice. I am happy to do this for you, and I am happy about you.

bwe@Philippians:2:18 @ In the same way you must be happy. And you must be happy about me.

bwe@Philippians:2:19 @ I hope the Lord Jesus will let me send Timothy to you soon. I will be glad to hear about you.

bwe@Philippians:2:20 @ I have no one like Timothy. He is troubled to know about you.

bwe@Philippians:2:22 @ But you know what a good man Timothy is. You know that he has worked with me in telling the good news. He has worked just as a son works with his father.

bwe@Philippians:2:23 @ So I hope to send him to you as soon as I see what happens to me.

bwe@Philippians:2:24 @ And I trust that the Lord will let me come to you soon myself.

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:2:28 @ I want even more to send him to you so that you will be happy when you see him again. And I will not be so troubled any more.

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:3:1 @ Now, my brothers, I say be glad for what the Lord has done for you. It is not hard for me to write the same things to you over and over. And it is good for you.

bwe@Philippians:3:2 @ Watch out for those teachers who are like dogs. Watch out for those teachers who do wrong things. And watch out for those teachers who want you to have the mark of a Jew cut in your bodies.

bwe@Philippians:3:15 @ All of us who are grown-up Christians should feel this way. And if you do not think this way, God will show you the right way.

bwe@Philippians:3:17 @ My brothers, do as I do, all of you. Look at the people who live the way we have lived.

bwe@Philippians:3:18 @ Many people live as if they hated the cross of Christ. I have often told you about them, and I tell you now with tears.

bwe@Philippians:4:1 @ And so, my brothers, I love you and want very much to be with you. I am very happy about you. And you are like a prize I have won in a race. My dear people, keep on standing firm and strong in the Lord.

bwe@Philippians:4:3 @ I beg you, my real helper, to help these women. They worked hard with me in telling the good news. Clement and my other helpers worked hard with me too. Their names are in Gods Book of Life. Always be glad for what the Lord has done. I will say it again, be glad.

bwe@Philippians:4:4 @ Let everyone know that you think kindly of others before yourselves. The Lord is near.

bwe@Philippians:4:5 @ Do not worry about anything. Talk to God about everything. Thank him for what you have. Ask him for what you need.

bwe@Philippians:4:6 @ Then God will give you peace, a peace which is too wonderful to understand. That peace will keep your hearts and minds safe as you trust in Christ Jesus.

bwe@Philippians:4:7 @ Here, my brothers, are some things I want you to think about. Think about things that are true, honest, right, clean and pure, things that are lovely, and things that are good to talk about. If they are good, and if they bring praise to God, think about these things.

bwe@Philippians:4:8 @ I taught you, and you learned things from me. You heard the things I said, and you saw the things I did. Do these same things yourselves. Then God who gives peace will be with you.

bwe@Philippians:4:9 @ The Lord made me very happy to know that you were thinking about me again. Yes, I know you were thinking of me before, but you had no way to help me.

bwe@Philippians:4:13 @ But you were kind to help me when I was in trouble.

bwe@Philippians:4:14 @ You people of Philippi know this too. When I first told the good news after I left the country of Macedonia, you were the only church people who helped me. You sent me money to pay my expenses.

bwe@Philippians:4:15 @ Even when I was in the city of Thessalonica, you sent money to help me more than once.

bwe@Philippians:4:16 @ It is not that I want the gift. But I want you to have more and more blessing because you give.

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@Philippians:4:18 @ My God will give you everything you need. He has wonderful riches in heaven because of Christ Jesus.

bwe@Philippians:4:20 @ Please give my greetings to every one who belongs to Christ Jesus. The Christian brothers who are with me greet you.

bwe@Philippians:4:21 @ All of Gods people send greetings to you, especially the people of Caesars house.

bwe@Philippians:4:22 @ The loving kindness of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen, may it be so!

bwe@Colossians:1:2 @ Timothy our brother, and I are writing this letter to Gods people, the Christian brothers in the city of Colossae. May the kindness of God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ bless you and give you peace.

bwe@Colossians:1:3 @ We give thanks to God. He is the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. When we ask God to bless you, we always thank him for you.

bwe@Colossians:1:4 @ We have heard that you believe in Christ Jesus and love all of Gods people.

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:1:6 @ That message has reached you. It is doing good and it is spreading everywhere in the world. It is doing the same among you. It began the day you heard and understood Gods blessing, which came to you in a clear way.

bwe@Colossians:1:7 @ Epaphras taught you the truth. He is Christs servant, as we are also, and we love him. He is a good worker to help you.

bwe@Colossians:1:8 @ Also, it is he who told us of your love in the Spirit.

bwe@Colossians:1:9 @ That is why we keep on talking to God about you since the day we heard about you. We ask him that you may know everything he wants you to do. We ask him that you may be very wise and that the Spirit will help you to understand.

bwe@Colossians:1:10 @ We ask him that you will live the way the Lord wants you to live, so that you will please him in everything you do. We ask that you will do everything that is good. We ask that you will see the fruit from what you do. We ask that you will know more and more about God.

bwe@Colossians:1:11 @ God has wonderful power. And we ask him to give you all the strength you need to go through all your troubles, to be very patient in them, and to be happy.

bwe@Colossians:1:21 @ At one time you were far away from God. You hated him in your hearts and you did wrong things.

bwe@Colossians:1:22 @ But now Christ himself has died on a cross, and he has brought you back to God. Christ will bring you before God holy, clean, and good.

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@Colossians:1:24 @ And now, even though I suffer for you, I am happy. There are still some things for Christ to suffer in his body, which is the church. So I am glad to take my share of his suffering in my body.

bwe@Colossians:1:25 @ God gave me work to do for the church people so that you might know all of Gods message.

bwe@Colossians:1:27 @ He wanted them to know that his plan is very great and wonderful for those who are not Jews. And this plan is that Christ is in you! He is your hope for all the wonderful things that are to come.

bwe@Colossians:2:1 @ I want you to know how much I care for you and those in the city of Laodicea, and even all those who have never seen me.

bwe@Colossians:2:4 @ I say this so that no one may lead you the wrong way by their fine words.

bwe@Colossians:2:5 @ Even though I am not with you in body, I am with you in spirit. I am happy to see that you stand together well and that you keep on believing in Christ.

bwe@Colossians:2:6 @ You received Christ Jesus the Lord. So live in him.

bwe@Colossians:2:7 @ Let your heart be planted in him. Grow up in him. Believe with all your heart what you were taught. And be very thankful to God.

bwe@Colossians:2:8 @ Do not let anyone fool you by his wise words. They are not true. They are what men say. They are the teachings of this world and not what Christ says.

bwe@Colossians:2:10 @ And you, too, have everything when you are in him. He rules over every power and ruler.

bwe@Colossians:2:11 @ In Christ you were not circumcised by mens hands. But you were circumcised in Christs way when all the wrong things you did in your bodies were taken away.

bwe@Colossians:2:12 @ You were buried with Christ when you were baptised. You were also raised with him to a new life when you were baptised. You were raised because you believed in the power of God who raised Christ from death.

bwe@Colossians:2:13 @ You were dead because of the wrong things you had done, and because your lives had not been made clean. But God gave you life with Christ. He forgave you for all the wrong things you did.

bwe@Colossians:2:16 @ So do not let anyone say you are wrong about what you eat or drink, or about a feast, or a special holy day or a Sabbath day.

bwe@Colossians:2:18 @ Do not let anyone tell you that you are wrong and that to be humble you must worship angels. He talks about things he has not seen. He is very proud, but he has nothing to be proud of, because his thoughts come from his own mind.

bwe@Colossians:2:20 @ Did you die with Christ? Then you left the teachings of this world. So why do you obey laws as if you were still living in this world?

bwe@Colossians:2:21 @ I mean laws like this: "Do not touch that. Do not eat this. Do not put your hand on that."

bwe@Colossians:3:1 @ Were you raised from death with Christ? Then look for the things which are in heaven. There Christ is sitting at the right hand of God.

bwe@Colossians:3:3 @ Your old life died with Christ and your new life is kept with Christ in God.

bwe@Colossians:3:4 @ Christ is our life. When he comes again and is seen, then you will also be seen with him. And you will be great.

bwe@Colossians:3:5 @ So then, put to death those things of this world which are in you. I mean these things: wrong sex, things that are not clean, a heart that is burning to do wrong things, wanting what is wrong, and wanting to have what other people have. This last one is like worshipping an idol.

bwe@Colossians:3:7 @ You used to do these things when you lived that way.

bwe@Colossians:3:8 @ But now you must stop all these: being angry, hating people, wrong feelings toward others, saying wrong things about people, and dirty talking.

bwe@Colossians:3:9 @ Do not tell lies to one another. You have stopped being the person you used to be who did wrong things.

bwe@Colossians:3:10 @ And now you have become a new person. That new person is always learning more and more until he becomes like God who made him.

bwe@Colossians:3:12 @ You are chosen by God. He loves you and has made you holy. So then, care for one another. Be kind. Do not be proud. Be humble. Be patient.

bwe@Colossians:3:13 @ Be patient with one another. If any one has a complaint against another, forgive that one. Christ forgave you. So you should forgive each other.

bwe@Colossians:3:14 @ Beside all these, you must have love. This joins everything together as it should be.

bwe@Colossians:3:15 @ Hold on to the peace of God which is in your hearts. You were called to have peace because you are all like one body. Be thankful.

bwe@Colossians:3:16 @ Let your hearts be filled with the word of Christ. Be very wise when you teach people and help them to understand what is right and wrong. Sing with music. Sing praises and Christian songs. Sing to the Lord with praise in your hearts.

bwe@Colossians:3:17 @ Whatever you say, or whatever you do, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus. Give thanks to God the Father through Jesus.

bwe@Colossians:3:18 @ Wives, obey your husbands. This is the right way to live when you belong to the Lord.

bwe@Colossians:3:19 @ Husbands, love your wives and do not be unkind to them.

bwe@Colossians:3:20 @ Children, obey your parents in everything. This pleases the Lord.

bwe@Colossians:3:21 @ Fathers, do not make your children angry. They might stop trying to do right.

bwe@Colossians:3:22 @ Servants, obey your boss in everything. Obey always, not only when he is looking at you as if you were pleasing a man. Do it with all your heart because you respect the Lord.

bwe@Colossians:3:23 @ Whatever your work is, do it gladly. Do it as you would do it unto the Lord and not for people.

bwe@Colossians:3:24 @ You know you will get pay from the Lord, for you are the servants of the Lord Christ.

bwe@Colossians:4:1 @ You who are a boss, do what is right to your servants. You know that you also have a Master in heaven.

bwe@Colossians:4:2 @ Always take time to talk to God. Put your mind on what you are saying. And thank God for what he has done.

bwe@Colossians:4:5 @ Act the right way to people who are not Christians. Make good use of your time.

bwe@Colossians:4:6 @ Always say good things when you talk. Talk in a way that will make people listen. Then you will know how to answer people.

bwe@Colossians:4:7 @ Tychicus will tell you all about me. He is a brother whom I love. He is a very good helper and works with me in the Lords work.

bwe@Colossians:4:8 @ I am sending him to you so that you will know about us and so that he may comfort your hearts.

bwe@Colossians:4:9 @ I am sending Onesimus with him. He is also a good brother whom I love. He is one of you. They will tell you all about everything here.

bwe@Colossians:4:10 @ Here are the people who send you greetings: Aristarchus, who is in prison with me, and Mark, a cousin of Barnabas. I have already told you to welcome him if he comes to you.

bwe@Colossians:4:12 @ Epaphras sends you greetings. He is one of you and is a servant of Christ Jesus. He always talks to God about you with all his heart. He asks God to help you to be strong so that you will become grown-up Christians and know all that God wants you to do.

bwe@Colossians:4:13 @ I myself have seen how hard he has worked for you and for the people in the cities of Laodicea and Hierapolis.

bwe@Colossians:4:14 @ Luke, the doctor whom I love, and Demas also greet you.

bwe@Colossians:4:16 @ When you have read this letter, then be sure that it is also read to the church people in Laodicea. And be sure that you read the letter which will be sent to you from Laodicea.

bwe@Colossians:4:17 @ Tell Archippus, See that you do all the work which the Lord has given you to do.

bwe@Colossians:4:18 @ I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand. Remember that I am in prison. God bless you.

bwe@1Thessalonians:1:1 @ Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, send greetings to the church people in the city of Thessalonica. The people of this church belong to God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. May the kindness of God bless you and give you peace. for all of you, and we always talk to him about you.

bwe@1Thessalonians:1:2 @ You do good things because you believe. You work very hard because you have love in your hearts. You are patient because you have hope in our Lord Jesus Christ. We remember these things when we talk to God our Father about you.

bwe@1Thessalonians:1:3 @ My brothers, God loves you and we know that he has chosen you.

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:1:5 @ You tried hard to be like us and like the Lord. You had much trouble because you believed our message. Yet the Holy Spirit made you very happy.

bwe@1Thessalonians:1:6 @ You have shown all the Christians in the countries of Macedonia and Greece how they should live.

bwe@1Thessalonians:1:7 @ People in Macedonia and Greece have heard from you the message about the Lord. And people everywhere have heard that you believe in God. So there is no need for us to write about your faith.

bwe@1Thessalonians:1:8 @ They tell us how glad you were to see us. They tell us about how you left your idols and turned to God. You worship the God who is the living and true God.

bwe@1Thessalonians:1:9 @ And you wait for his Son to come again from heaven. God raised his Son Jesus from death. It is Jesus who saves us from Gods great anger which is to come.

bwe@1Thessalonians:2:1 @ My brothers, you yourselves know that our visit to you was not for nothing.

bwe@1Thessalonians:2:2 @ The people at the city of Philippi treated us very badly. As you know, we had much trouble. But God helped us, and we did not fear to tell you Gods good news. But many things were against us and tried to stop us.

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:2:5 @ We never said nice things about people that were not true. You know this. We never talked to get something out of it for ourselves. God knows this.

bwe@1Thessalonians:2:6 @ And we did not ask you or anybody else to help us or to praise us. Of course, we are apostles of Christ, and we had the right to do so.

bwe@1Thessalonians:2:7 @ But we were kind when we were with you. We were like a woman taking care of her own children.

bwe@1Thessalonians:2:8 @ Because we loved you, we were glad to give you Gods good news. We were also glad to give you our lives, because we loved you very much.

bwe@1Thessalonians:2:9 @ My brothers, you remember how hard we worked. We worked night and day so that we would not trouble any of you. And we told you Gods good news.

bwe@1Thessalonians:2:10 @ We lived in a holy and right way among you Christians. We did nothing wrong to you. You know this yourselves and God knows it too.

bwe@1Thessalonians:2:11 @ You know how we talked to each of you as a father talks to his children. We comforted, helped, and taught you.

bwe@1Thessalonians:2:12 @ We told you to live to please God. He called you to his own kingdom and greatness.

bwe@1Thessalonians:2:13 @ And here is another reason why we always thank God all the time. When you heard Gods word from us, you did not say, That is mens word. But you said, That is Gods word. And it really is Gods word. The word is working in you Christians.

bwe@1Thessalonians:2:14 @ My brothers, you were like the churches of God in Judea which belong to Christ Jesus. The people of your own country troubled you in the same way that the Jews troubled them.

bwe@1Thessalonians:2:16 @ They try to stop us from talking to those people who are not Jews. They do not want them to be saved. So they are always doing wrong things. And now at last, God has become very angry with them. have been away from you for a short time in body, but not in heart. We wanted very much to see you face to face, and we tried hard to come.

bwe@1Thessalonians:2:17 @ We wanted to come to you. Twice, I, Paul, wanted to come. But Satan stopped us.

bwe@1Thessalonians:2:18 @ What is our hope when our Lord Jesus comes? What will make us happy and proud then? It is you people!

bwe@1Thessalonians:2:19 @ You are ones of whom we are proud. You make us happy.

bwe@1Thessalonians:3:2 @ And we sent our brother Timothy to you. He works for God by telling the good news about Christ. We sent him to help you be strong and to encourage you in what you believe.

bwe@1Thessalonians:3:3 @ We do not want anyone to give up because of the trouble. You yourselves know that we all will surely have trouble.

bwe@1Thessalonians:3:4 @ When we were with you, we told you that we would have trouble. Trouble came. And now you know what we said is true.

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@1Thessalonians:3:6 @ But now Timothy has come back to us from you. He has brought us the good news that you are still believing and have love in your hearts. He has told us that you always remember us. He also told us that you want to see us, just as we want to see you.

bwe@1Thessalonians:3:7 @ My brothers, the way you believe has comforted us in all our troubles.

bwe@1Thessalonians:3:8 @ It gives us new life now to know that you are standing strong in the Lord.

bwe@1Thessalonians:3:9 @ We cannot thank God enough for you. We are very happy about you as we talk to God.

bwe@1Thessalonians:3:10 @ Night and day we ask God that we may see you face to face. We want to help you know more about what you believe.

bwe@1Thessalonians:3:11 @ Now may our God and Father himself, and our Lord Jesus, open the way for us to come to you.

bwe@1Thessalonians:3:12 @ May the Lord make you stronger in your love for each other. Love others in the way we love you.

bwe@1Thessalonians:3:13 @ We want the Lord to help you to stand strong. And then, when the Lord Jesus comes with all Gods people, you will be holy in the eyes of our God and Father. He will see no fault in you.

bwe@1Thessalonians:4:1 @ And now, brothers, here is what we ask you to do. We beg you in the name of the Lord Jesus. We taught you how to live and to please God. You are living that way now, and we want you to do so more and more.

bwe@1Thessalonians:4:2 @ You know what we told you through the Lord Jesus Christ.

bwe@1Thessalonians:4:3 @ This is what God wants. He wants you to live clean lives. He wants you to keep away from wrong sex.

bwe@1Thessalonians:4:4 @ Each of you should know how to control yourself. Honour your body to make it holy.

bwe@1Thessalonians:4:5 @ Do not have sex with a person you are not married to. Control your strong feelings. Do not act like the people who do not know God.

bwe@1Thessalonians:4:6 @ Do not do wrong to your Christian brother by taking his wife for yourself. The Lord will surely punish all those who do wrong in these things. We have already told you that and made it very clear.

bwe@1Thessalonians:4:7 @ God did not call us to live unclean lives. He wants you to live clean and holy lives.

bwe@1Thessalonians:4:9 @ You do not need anyone to write to you about how to love each other. God himself has taught you to be loving towards each other.

bwe@1Thessalonians:4:10 @ And you do love all the Christian brothers who are in the whole country of Macedonia. But we beg you, brothers, love them more and more.

bwe@1Thessalonians:4:11 @ Please try to live a quiet life. Mind your own business. Work with your hands as we told you to do.

bwe@1Thessalonians:4:12 @ Then people who do not belong to the church will respect you. And you will not need help from anyone. here is something I want you to know about those who have died. You should not cry for them like people cry who have no hope.

bwe@1Thessalonians:4:14 @ We tell you what the Lord said. We who are still alive when the Lord comes, will not go ahead of those who have died.

bwe@1Thessalonians:5:1 @ My brothers, you do not need anyone to write to you about the day or the year when these things will happen.

bwe@1Thessalonians:5:2 @ You your-selves surely know that the day of the Lord will come just like a person who comes to steal in the night.

bwe@1Thessalonians:5:4 @ But you, my brothers, are not in the dark. That day should not surprise you like a person who comes to steal.

bwe@1Thessalonians:5:5 @ You all belong to the light. You belong to the day. We do not belong to the night or to the dark.

bwe@1Thessalonians:5:10 @ So comfort and strengthen one another, just as you are doing. you to respect those who are working among you. They are your leaders in the Lords work, and they tell you what you should do.

bwe@1Thessalonians:5:11 @ My brothers, we beg you, tell this to people who do not do what they should do. Talk to those who fear, and say something that will make them strong. Help those who are weak. Be patient with all people.

bwe@1Thessalonians:5:15 @ Thank God for everything. This is what God wants you to do through Christ Jesus.

bwe@1Thessalonians:5:20 @ May God himself, who gives peace, make you pure and clean. You are set apart and belong only to him. And may your spirit and soul and body all together be kept free from fault until our Lord Jesus Christ comes.

bwe@1Thessalonians:5:21 @ )It is God who calls you, and he can be trusted. He will surely do what he has said.

bwe@1Thessalonians:5:24 @ I give you this order from the Lord. Read this letter to all the Christian brothers.

bwe@1Thessalonians:5:25 @ May our Lord Jesus Christ bless you. May it be so.

bwe@2Thessalonians:1:2 @ May God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ, in their kindness, give you much happiness and peace.

bwe@2Thessalonians:1:3 @ My brothers, we thank God for you always. It is the right thing to do. You trust him more and more. You all love each other more and more.

bwe@2Thessalonians:1:4 @ So we are proud of you. We tell the churches of God about you because you are standing strong and you keep on believing in God. Your troubles and hard times do not stop you.

bwe@2Thessalonians:1:5 @ This proves that God will judge right. And he will say that you are good enough for the kingdom of God because you suffer for it.

bwe@2Thessalonians:1:6 @ God will do what is right. He will give trouble to those who are troubling you.

bwe@2Thessalonians:1:7 @ And he will give rest to you who are having troubles, and to us also. He will give this rest when our Lord Jesus comes back from heaven. The Lord Jesus will come with his strong angels in flaming fire.

bwe@2Thessalonians:1:10 @ This will happen on the day he comes. On that day his people will show how great and wonderful he is. And all those who have believed in him will be surprised at how great he is. That means you also, because you believed what we told you.

bwe@2Thessalonians:1:11 @ That is why we always talk to God about you. We want our God to make you fit for the good work to which he called you. We ask him to finish his good work of faith which trusts in his power.

bwe@2Thessalonians:1:12 @ In that way you will make the name of our Lord Jesus Christ great. And he will make you great. This will be because of the kindness of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

bwe@2Thessalonians:2:1 @ My brothers, we want to talk to you about the time when our Lord Jesus Christ comes again and we are taken to meet him.

bwe@2Thessalonians:2:2 @ Do not let your minds be easily upset. Do not be troubled by a spirit, or a message, or a letter. Do not be troubled if you hear that the day of the Lord has already come. Some people will say it came from us.

bwe@2Thessalonians:2:3 @ Do not let anyone fool you in any way. Before the day of the Lord comes, many people will stop believing God. The Man of Evil will be seen. He is the evil one who will be destroyed for ever.

bwe@2Thessalonians:2:5 @ You remember that I told you these things when I was still with you.

bwe@2Thessalonians:2:6 @ And you know what is holding that evil man back. He will not be seen until it is his time to be seen.

bwe@2Thessalonians:2:13 @ My brothers, the Lord loves you. We should thank God for you always. Here is why. From the beginning God chose you to be saved. You were saved because the Spirit made you holy and because you believed the true message.

bwe@2Thessalonians:2:14 @ God called you to be saved by the good news we brought you. He did this so that you would have some of the honour which the Lord Jesus Christ has.

bwe@2Thessalonians:2:15 @ So my brothers, be strong. Hold on to the things we taught you by our words or by letter.

bwe@2Thessalonians:2:17 @ May our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, comfort your hearts and make you strong to do and say everything that is good.

bwe@2Thessalonians:3:1 @ My brothers, please talk to God about us. Ask God that the Lords message may reach many people quickly and that they may receive it gladly as you did.

bwe@2Thessalonians:3:3 @ But the Lord can be trusted. He will make you strong. He will keep you safe from all that is wrong.

bwe@2Thessalonians:3:4 @ The Lord makes us feel sure about you. We are sure that you are doing, and will do, what we tell you to do.

bwe@2Thessalonians:3:5 @ May the Lord lead you to love God and be patient like Christ.

bwe@2Thessalonians:3:6 @ Now, my brothers, we tell you to do this in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Have nothing to do with any lazy brother who is not living the way we taught you.

bwe@2Thessalonians:3:7 @ You yourselves know how you should be like us. We were not lazy when we were with you.

bwe@2Thessalonians:3:8 @ We did not eat anyones food without paying for it. But we worked very hard day and night because we did not want to trouble any one of you.

bwe@2Thessalonians:3:9 @ We have the right to be helped. But we wanted to show you what you should do in this matter.

bwe@2Thessalonians:3:10 @ Even when we were with you, we told you this, If any man will not work, do not let him eat.

bwe@2Thessalonians:3:11 @ We hear that some of you are lazy. You do not work, but you trouble other people.

bwe@2Thessalonians:3:12 @ We say to such lazy people, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Do your work quietly. Earn your own food.

bwe@2Thessalonians:3:15 @ Do not treat him like an enemy. Tell him, as you would tell a brother, what he should do.

bwe@2Thessalonians:3:16 @ The Lord gives peace. May he give his peace to you at all times in every way. May the Lord be with you all.

bwe@2Thessalonians:3:18 @ The loving kindness of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.

bwe@1Timothy:1:2 @ Timothy, you are my true son because you believe the way I do. I ask God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord to show you love and kindness, and give you peace.

bwe@1Timothy:1:3 @ When I went to the country of Macedonia, I asked you to stay in the city of Ephesus. I wanted you to tell some of the teachers not to teach wrong things.

bwe@1Timothy:1:18 @ My son Timothy, here is what I tell you to do. And it is what the prophets said about you before. Remember their words, and fight like a good soldier.

bwe@1Timothy:1:19 @ Keep on believing. Do only what you know is right. Some people have not done that and they have stopped believing.

bwe@1Timothy:3:14 @ I am writing to you about these matters even though I hope to come to you soon.

bwe@1Timothy:3:15 @ Then if I do not come right away, you will know what people should do in Gods family. This family is the church of the living God. The church people hold what is true and keeps it strong.

bwe@1Timothy:4:6 @ Tell the Christian brothers and sisters these things and you will do the work of Christ Jesus well. Your own heart will be fed by the things you have believed and the good teaching you have followed.

bwe@1Timothy:4:7 @ Have nothing to do with foolish stories. Make yourself strong in the things that please God.

bwe@1Timothy:4:12 @ Do not let anyone despise you because you are a young man. Show those who believe how they should live. Show them by the way you talk. Show them by the way you live. Show them by the way you love. Show them how to believe by the way you believe. Show them how to live a clean life by the way you live a clean life.

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:4:15 @ Take time to think about these things. Then everybody will see how well you are going ahead in your work.

bwe@1Timothy:4:16 @ Take care of yourself and what you teach. Keep on doing this. If you do, you will save yourself and those who listen to you.

bwe@1Timothy:5:1 @ Do not be angry with an older man if he has done something wrong, but talk kindly to him as you would talk to your father. Talk to the young men like brothers.

bwe@1Timothy:5:2 @ Talk to the older women like mothers. Talk to the young women like sisters. And be sure to keep a clean mind and heart in all this.

bwe@1Timothy:5:11 @ But do not choose young women. When they begin to love other things more than Christ, they will want to marry again.

bwe@1Timothy:5:14 @ So I would like young women to marry again and have children. They should care for their homes. They should do nothing that would make the enemy say wrong things about them.

bwe@1Timothy:5:18 @ The holy writings say, You may not tie the mouth of a cow when it is walking on the grain to beat it out. And also, The man who works should be paid for it.

bwe@1Timothy:5:22 @ Do not be in a hurry to place your hands on a man as a sign for him to be a leader. Do not take part in the wrong things another man does. Keep yourself clean.

bwe@1Timothy:5:23 @ Do not drink water only. But drink a little wine to help your stomach because you are sick so often.

bwe@1Timothy:6:11 @ But you belong to God, Timothy. Have nothing to do with all this. But do what is right. Do what God wants you to do. Believe in Christ. Be loving. Be patient. Be kind.

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@1Timothy:6:14 @ Do what you have been told to do. And do it so there will be nothing wrong, until our Lord Jesus Christ comes.

bwe@1Timothy:6:20 @ Timothy, take good care of what has been given to you. Some teachers say they know many things, but these things are not true. Do not teach these foolish things that do not come from God. Do not teach these things that do not agree together.

bwe@1Timothy:6:21 @ Some men have believed these things and have stopped believing in Christ. May God bless all of you.

bwe@2Timothy:1:2 @ Timothy, you are my son and I love you very much. May God the Father, and Christ Jesus our Lord, bless you. May they be kind to you and give you peace.

bwe@2Timothy:1:3 @ I worship God with a clean heart, as my fathers did. And I thank God when I talk to him about you. I always do this night and day.

bwe@2Timothy:1:4 @ I want very much to see you. I remember how you cried when we left you. When I see you, how happy I shall be!

bwe@2Timothy:1:5 @ I remember that you really believe. Your grandmother Lois believed first. Your mother Eunice believed too. I am sure that you believe in the same way.

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:1:8 @ So do not be ashamed to talk about our Lord. And do not be ashamed of me. I am his prisoner. Be patient in your trouble also, because you tell the good news. God will give you the power to do it.

bwe@2Timothy:1:13 @ Take what I have taught you as a guide for good teaching. Keep believing in Christ Jesus and loving him.

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:1:15 @ You know that all the men who live in the country of Asia Minor have left me. Phygellus and Hermogenes are among them.

bwe@2Timothy:1:18 @ I hope the Lord will be kind to him on that great day. You know very well all that he did for me in the city of Ephesus.

bwe@2Timothy:2:1 @ So, my son Timothy, be strong. Christ Jesus has blessed you so that you can be strong.

bwe@2Timothy:2:2 @ You and many others heard what I taught. Now you must teach these things to men who can be trusted, men who will be able to teach them to other people also.

bwe@2Timothy:2:3 @ Be patient in your trouble like a good soldier of Christ Jesus.

bwe@2Timothy:2:7 @ Think about what I say and the Lord will help you understand everything.

bwe@2Timothy:2:8 @ Keep your mind on Jesus Christ. He was raised from death. He was of the family of David. That is the good news I tell people.

bwe@2Timothy:2:15 @ Try to show God that you are a good worker. Do nothing you would be ashamed of. Tell the true message in the right way.

bwe@2Timothy:2:22 @ Have no part at all in the wrong things that young men like to do. Believe. Have love. Follow what is right. Live at peace. Do these things along with others who have a clean heart and talk to God.

bwe@2Timothy:2:23 @ Keep out of foolish quarrels. You know that they start fights.

bwe@2Timothy:3:10 @ Timothy, you know my teaching and the way I lived. You know what I want to do and what I believe. You know my patience, my love, and my strength to bear trouble.

bwe@2Timothy:3:11 @ You know about my troubles. You know what happened to me in Antioch, in Iconium, and in Lystra. You know how badly the people treated me. But the Lord brought me safely through it all.

bwe@2Timothy:3:14 @ But you, Timothy, must keep on doing the things you have learned. You know they are right. You know who taught them to you.

bwe@2Timothy:3:15 @ From the time you were a child you knew the holy writings. They showed you how to be saved by believing in Christ Jesus.

bwe@2Timothy:4:1 @ I say this before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge people who are living and people who are dead. I say this to you because he will come back and rule over all.

bwe@2Timothy:4:5 @ But you, Timothy, must always be watching. Be patient in your troubles. Tell the good news. Do all the work God has given you to do.

bwe@2Timothy:4:11 @ Only Luke is with me. Get Mark and bring him with you. He helps me very much in my work.

bwe@2Timothy:4:13 @ I left a coat with Carpus in Troas. Bring it with you when you come, and also bring the books. But most of all, I want the written papers.

bwe@2Timothy:4:15 @ You too must keep away from him, for he was very much against what we said.

bwe@2Timothy:4:21 @ Try to come before the cold time of the year. Eubulus sends you greetings. So do Pudens, Linus, and Claudia and all the Christian brothers.

bwe@2Timothy:4:22 @ The Lord be with your spirit. May he in his kindness bless you. Amen. May it be so!

bwe@Titus:1:4 @ Titus, I send greetings to you. You are my true son because you believe the same way I do. May God the Father and Christ Jesus our Saviour bless you, and be kind to you, and give you peace. of Crete. I want you to finish putting things in order. And I want you to choose leaders among the church people in every city as I told you to do.

bwe@Titus:1:10 @ You must put a stop to their talking. They stop whole families from believing in Christ because they teach things which they have no right to teach. They teach because they want to get paid for it, even though it is wrong.

bwe@Titus:1:12 @ What he said is true. You must tell them that they are wrong. Tell them to stop it. They must believe what is true.

bwe@Titus:2:1 @ But as for you, Titus, you must teach what is right.

bwe@Titus:2:4 @ They must teach the young women to love their husbands and their children.

bwe@Titus:2:5 @ They must teach young women to have good sense, to live a clean life, to care for their homes, to be kind, and to obey their husbands. Then people cannot say wrong things about Gods word.

bwe@Titus:2:6 @ Also tell the young men to have good sense.

bwe@Titus:2:7 @ Titus, show them what they should do in all matters by the good things you do. Do not mix your teaching with things that are not true. Teach in such a way that people will respect you.

bwe@Titus:2:8 @ Be sure that what you say is true, so that no one can say anything against it. Then anyone who is against us will be made ashamed because he can find nothing wrong to say about us.

bwe@Titus:2:15 @ Talk about these things. Tell people they must do them. And use all your power to stop people if they are doing wrong. Do not let anyone despise you.

bwe@Titus:3:8 @ These are true words. And I want you to tell the people these things. Then those who have believed God will try to do good things. These things are right and help people.

bwe@Titus:3:11 @ You know that such people are wrong and what they do is wrong. They themselves know that they are wrong. Tychicus to you, do your best to come to me at the city of Nicopolis. I have planned to stay there while it is the cold time of the year.

bwe@Titus:3:12 @ Do your best to send Zenas the lawyer, and Apollos on their way. Give them all they need.

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:1:1 @ I am Paul. I am in prison because I belong to Christ Jesus. Our brother Timothy and I send greetings to you, Philemon. We love you very much. And you work with us.

bwe@Philemon:1:2 @ We also send greetings to our sister Apphia; to Archippus who is worker in Gods army as we are; and to the people who meet as a church in your house.

bwe@Philemon:1:3 @ May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ bless you in their kindness and give you peace.

bwe@Philemon:1:4 @ I always thank my God when I talk to him about you.

bwe@Philemon:1:5 @ I have heard that you love all of Gods people and that you believe in our Lord Jesus Christ.

bwe@Philemon:1:6 @ You believe as I do. I ask God that he may help you to know more and more of every good thing that we have in Christ.

bwe@Philemon:1:7 @ My brother, your love made me very glad and it comforted my heart. I know that Gods people were glad because you loved them.

bwe@Philemon:1:8 @ Because I am Christs apostle, I could tell you what you must do.

bwe@Philemon:1:9 @ But because I love you, I would rather not tell you, but ask you to do this for me. I, Paul, am an old man and now I am in prison because I belong to Jesus Christ.

bwe@Philemon:1:10 @ I am asking you to do something for my son. He became a Christian here in prison. This son is Onesimus.

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:1:12 @ I am sending him back to you and it is like sending you my own heart.

bwe@Philemon:1:13 @ I would like to keep him with me. He can help me while I am in prison for the sake of the good news. That would be just as if you were here to help me.

bwe@Philemon:1:14 @ But I did not want to do anything unless you agreed. I did not want you to do this because you were forced to do it, but because you wanted to do it.

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@Philemon:1:16 @ Now he is not like a slave who must work for you. He is better than a slave. He is a Christian brother and you will love him. I love him very much. But you will love him even more because he belongs to you and he is a Christian.

bwe@Philemon:1:17 @ So if you think of me as a real friend, take him back just as you would take me back.

bwe@Philemon:1:18 @ If he has done you any wrong, or if he owes you a debt, then ask me to pay it.

bwe@Philemon:1:19 @ I, Paul, write this with my own hand. I will repay it. I do not need to tell you that you have your life because of what I did for you.

bwe@Philemon:1:21 @ I believe that you will do what I ask you to do. And so I am writing to you. I know that you will do even more than I ask you to do.

bwe@Philemon:1:22 @ At the same time, please make a place ready for me to stay. I know you are asking God to set me free, so I believe he will let me come to see you.

bwe@Philemon:1:23 @ Epaphras is in prison with me for the sake of Christ Jesus. He sends greetings to you.

bwe@Philemon:1:25 @ May the loving kindness of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen! May it be so!

bwe@Hebrews:1:5 @ Did God ever say to any of the angels, You are my Son, and I am your Father today? Did God ever say to an angel, I will be your Father and you will be my Son?

bwe@Hebrews:1:8 @ But here is what God says about his Son: O God, you will sit and rule for ever. You will rule in the right way.

bwe@Hebrews:1:9 @ You have loved what is good and you have hated what is wrong. That is why God has poured out happiness on you, more than on those who are with you.

bwe@Hebrews:1:10 @ He also said, Lord, you made the world in the beginning. The sky was made by your hands.

bwe@Hebrews:1:11 @ These things will come to an end, but you will live on. They will all wear out like clothes.

bwe@Hebrews:1:12 @ You will fold up the world and the sky as if they were a blanket. They will not stay as they are now. But you will always be as you are now. The years of your life will never end.

bwe@Hebrews:1:13 @ But did God ever say to any of the angels, Sit down beside me until I put your enemies under you?

bwe@Hebrews:2:6 @ In one place the holy writings say, What is man and why do you think about him? What is the Son of a Man and why do you care about him?

bwe@Hebrews:2:7 @ You made him lower than angels for a little while. But then you made him very great and high.

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:2:12 @ He said, I will tell my brothers about you. I will sing praise about you among those who gather together for worship.

bwe@Hebrews:3:1 @ My brothers, you are holy. You are also called to go to heaven. Take time to think carefully about Jesus. God sent him. He is the high priest we believe in.

bwe@Hebrews:3:7 @ So as the Holy Spirit says, Today, when you hear me speak, do not make your hearts hard.

bwe@Hebrews:3:9 @ There your fathers tested me and tried me. And they saw what I did for forty years.

bwe@Hebrews:3:12 @ My brothers, take care that not one of you has a heart that does not believe. Such a heart will take you away from the living God.

bwe@Hebrews:3:13 @ But talk to each other every day while Today lasts, so that wrong ways will not fool any one of you and your hearts become hard.

bwe@Hebrews:3:15 @ God is still saying now, Today, when you hear me speak, do not make your hearts hard. That is what happened when the people turned against me.

bwe@Hebrews:4:1 @ We still have Gods promise that people will go into his resting place. So let us take care that not one of you will be kept out.

bwe@Hebrews:4:7 @ So he chose another day called Today. He spoke through David many years later, who said, Today, when you hear his voice, do not make your hearts hard.

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:5:6 @ In another place in the holy writings God said, You are a priest for ever like Melchizedek.

bwe@Hebrews:5:11 @ We have many things to say about him. But they are hard to explain to you. You are so slow to understand what we tell you.

bwe@Hebrews:5:12 @ By this time you should be able to teach others. But you need someone to teach you Gods word again from the very beginning. Like children, you need milk, not meat.

bwe@Hebrews:6:9 @ This is the way we talk. But dear people, we are sure that better things are true about you. Yes, you show all the good ways of people who have been saved from their wrong ways.

bwe@Hebrews:6:10 @ God does what is right. He will not forget your work and the love you have shown for him. You have helped Gods people and you are still helping them.

bwe@Hebrews:6:11 @ We want every one of you to try in the same way. Then you will get what you hope for right up to the end.

bwe@Hebrews:6:14 @ So he promised to himself when he said, I will surely bless you and you will have many children.

bwe@Hebrews:7:15 @ You can understand it even better when another priest comes who is like Melchizedek.

bwe@Hebrews:7:17 @ This is what the holy writings say about him, You are a priest for ever, like Melchizedek.

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:8:5 @ The work they do shows what the work of the priest in heaven is. When Moses made a house for God, here is what God told him to do. He said, Be sure you make everything like I showed you on the mountain.

bwe@Hebrews:8:11 @ A man will not need to teach another man, or his brother. He will not say, "Know the Lord," because everyone from the youngest to the oldest will know me.

bwe@Hebrews:9:12 @ He did not take the blood of goats and young cows. He took his own blood. And he went into the Most Holy Place just once. He paid for our sins and made us free for ever.

bwe@Hebrews:9:13 @ The priest takes the blood of bulls and goats, and the ashes from a young cow that has been burned. He puts this on the people who have done wrong things. This makes their bodies clean.

bwe@Hebrews:9:19 @ Moses told all the people every part of the law. Then he took the blood of young cows and goats. He put some of the blood on the book of the law itself and on all the people. He took water and red wool and a plant called hyssop.

bwe@Hebrews:9:20 @ As he did this, he said, This is the blood for the agreement which God has made for you.

bwe@Hebrews:10:5 @ That is why Christ said when he came into the world, You did not want sacrifices and gifts. But you made a body for me.

bwe@Hebrews:10:6 @ Animals that are burned for sacrifices, and animals killed to clean away the wrong things that people do, did not satisfy you.

bwe@Hebrews:10:7 @ Then I said, "See, I have come to do what you, God, want me to do." This is what is written about me in the book of the law.

bwe@Hebrews:10:8 @ First he said, You did not want sacrifices and gifts, and animals that are given to be burned as sacrifices, and animals killed to clean away peoples wrong ways. You did not like them. These sacrifices are made to obey the law.

bwe@Hebrews:10:9 @ Then he said, See, I have come to do what you want me to do. He took away the first kind of sacrifices so that the second kind would remain.

bwe@Hebrews:10:25 @ Do not stop going to church meetings. Some people do stop. But help each other to be strong. You must do it all the more as you see the Great Day coming closer.

bwe@Hebrews:10:32 @ Remember the first days when you had the light of Gods truth. In those days you were strong, even though you had to fight against many troubles.

bwe@Hebrews:10:33 @ Sometimes it was because people said and did wrong things to you and everybody saw it. And sometimes it was because you stood with others who had wrong things done to them.

bwe@Hebrews:10:34 @ You shared in the troubles of those who were in prison. When your things were taken from you, you were happy. You knew that you had better things in heaven, things that would always belong to you.

bwe@Hebrews:10:35 @ So do not stop believing God now. Your faith will bring you much reward.

bwe@Hebrews:10:36 @ You must not give up believing. Then you will do what God wants you to do. Then you will get what he promised you.

bwe@Hebrews:11:18 @ God had said to Abraham, Isaacs children will be called your family.

bwe@Hebrews:12:3 @ Think about him. He did not give up when bad people said wrong things about him. When you think about him, you will not become tired and your hearts will not give up.

bwe@Hebrews:12:4 @ You have been fighting against bad people. But you have not been hurt very much.

bwe@Hebrews:12:5 @ You have forgotten the words spoken to you as sons. My son, when the Lord punishes you, do not think it is a little thing. Do not give up when he tells you that you do wrong.

bwe@Hebrews:12:7 @ Do not give up when you are punished. God is treating you like sons. Is there a son who has never been punished by his father?

bwe@Hebrews:12:8 @ You are punished like the other children in the family. If you are not, you do not belong to the family as the other children do.

bwe@Hebrews:12:12 @ So lift up your hands that are hanging down. Make your weak knees strong.

bwe@Hebrews:12:17 @ You know that later he wanted to get the blessing, but he did not get it. He could not turn back. He even cried as he begged for the blessing.

bwe@Hebrews:12:18 @ You have not come to the mountain that can be touched and is burning with a big fire. You have not come to the place of darkness and night and storm.

bwe@Hebrews:12:19 @ You have not come to a place where a loud trumpet or horn is blown, and a loud voice is talking. When the people heard the voice, they begged that God would not say anything more to them.

bwe@Hebrews:12:22 @ But you have come to a hill called Zion. You have come to the city of the living God. It is the Jerusalem in heaven. You have come to many thousands of angels in a happy gathering.

bwe@Hebrews:12:23 @ You have come to the church people. They are Gods first sons, and their names are written in heaven. You have come to God who is the judge of all people. You have come to the spirits of good people who have been made right.

bwe@Hebrews:12:24 @ You have come to Jesus who is the middle man of a new agreement. You have come to the place where the spilling of his blood has more power than Abels.

bwe@Hebrews:12:25 @ Take care that you listen to God who is talking now. The people were punished when they would not listen to the One who talked on earth. And we will be punished much worse if we will not listen to the One who talks from heaven.

bwe@Hebrews:13:1 @ Keep on loving your Christian brothers.

bwe@Hebrews:13:2 @ Take strangers to your home and care for them. Some people who have done this found out the strangers were angels.

bwe@Hebrews:13:3 @ Remember those who are in prison as if you were in prison with them. And remember those who are having troubles, as if you were having the same troubles.

bwe@Hebrews:13:5 @ Do not let the love of money control your life. Be satisfied with what you have. God himself has said, I will never be away from you. I will never leave you alone.

bwe@Hebrews:13:7 @ Remember your leaders. They have told you the word of God. Think about the way they lived and died, and keep on believing as they did.

bwe@Hebrews:13:16 @ But do not forget to do good things for people, and to give what you have to those who need it. These are sacrifices that please God.

bwe@Hebrews:13:17 @ Obey your leaders and do what they tell you. They are watching over your souls. They must give a report. Obey them so they will be glad, and not sad, to give a report. If you make them sad, it is no help to you.

bwe@Hebrews:13:19 @ Here is why I want very much that you talk to God about me. If you do, I will be free to come to you sooner.

bwe@Hebrews:13:21 @ May God give you everything good so that you will do what he wants you to do. He will do in us, through Jesus Christ, what pleases him. Praise him for ever. May it be so!

bwe@Hebrews:13:22 @ Please, brothers, be patient with the words I have given to help you. I have written a short letter.

bwe@Hebrews:13:23 @ I want you to know that our brother Timothy is free. If he comes here soon, I will come with him to see you.

bwe@Hebrews:13:24 @ Greet all your leaders and all of Gods people. Those who belong to the country of Italy send you greetings.

bwe@Hebrews:13:25 @ May Gods loving kindness be with you all. Amen! May it be so!

bwe@James:1:2 @ My brothers, be very happy when you are tested by having troubles of many kinds.

bwe@James:1:3 @ You know this, that when you prove you believe, you become stronger to take troubles.

bwe@James:1:4 @ But you must keep on being strong to take trouble. Then you will be all right in every way. You will not need anything more.

bwe@James:1:5 @ If any of you need to be wise, ask God to make you wise. He gives plenty of wisdom to all people. He is not angry because you ask him. He will make you wise.

bwe@James:1:6 @ But when you ask, you must believe that God will do it. You must not doubt and think, Perhaps God will not do it. A person who doubts is like a wave on the sea. The wind drives it this way and that way.

bwe@James:1:16 @ My dear brothers, do not fool yourselves.

bwe@James:1:21 @ So stop all your dirty living. Stop doing so many wrong things. Listen quietly to the word that has been put in your hearts. It is able to save you.

bwe@James:1:22 @ But obey Gods word. Do not just listen to it. If you just listen to it, you fool yourselves.

bwe@James:1:26 @ Some of you think that you are doing what God wants. But you are not careful what you say. If you are like that, you are fooling yourself. And you are not doing what God wants.

bwe@James:1:27 @ This is what God the Father wants. It is clean and right. Go and help those who have no father and mother. Go and help widow women whose husbands are dead. These people have troubles. And keep yourself clean from the wrong things in the world.

bwe@James:2:1 @ My brothers, you believe in our Lord, the wonderful Jesus Christ. So you must not think one man is better than another.

bwe@James:2:2 @ A man comes in to your church meeting. He has a gold ring and wears fine clothes. A poor man also comes in. He wears old clothes.

bwe@James:2:3 @ You look at the man who wears fine clothes. And you say to him, Sit here on this good chair. But you say to the poor man, Stand over there, or you say, Sit on the floor by my feet.

bwe@James:2:4 @ If you do these things, you think some people are better than others. You are wrong when you judge people this way.

bwe@James:2:6 @ But you made the poor man ashamed. Is it not the rich people who trouble you? Are not they the ones who take you to court?

bwe@James:2:7 @ Are not they the ones who say wrong things about the good name you have?

bwe@James:2:8 @ The holy writings say, Love your neighbour as you love yourself. If you obey this law of your King you do well.

bwe@James:2:9 @ But if you think one man is better than another, that is wrong. The law says you are a bad person.

bwe@James:2:11 @ God made the law, Do not use sex wrongly. God also made the law, Do not kill.If you do not have wrong sex, but you kill, you have broken the law.

bwe@James:2:16 @ Perhaps one of you says to them, God bless you. Be warm. Eat all you want. But what good is that if you do not give them what they need for their bodies?

bwe@James:2:18 @ In that case someone may say, You believe. And I do good things. Try to show me that you believe without doing any acts of kindness. I will show you that I believe by doing acts of kindness.

bwe@James:2:19 @ You believe that there is one God. That is right. But even the bad spirits believe that. And they shake with fear.

bwe@James:2:20 @ You are foolish! Believing is no good if it does not do anything good. Do you want to know that for sure?

bwe@James:2:22 @ You can see he believed. His faith and the things he did worked together. His believing was made all right because he did something.

bwe@James:2:24 @ You see, a man is a good man because of the things he does, and not just because he believes.

bwe@James:3:1 @ My brothers, not many of you should be teachers. You know that we who teach will be punished more than other people.

bwe@James:3:13 @ Who among you is wise and knows about things? He should show what he knows by his good life. He will not be proud because he is wise.

bwe@James:3:14 @ Are you a person who is very jealous? In your hearts you want to be better than others? Then stop being proud of yourself. Do not say what is not true.

bwe@James:3:15 @ God did not give you wisdom like that. But it comes from this world. It comes from people. It comes from bad spirits.

bwe@James:4:1 @ Why do you fight and quarrel? It is because your feelings are fighting inside of you. That is why you fight.

bwe@James:4:2 @ You want something but you cannot get it. Then you kill. You want something very much and cannot get it. So you quarrel and fight. You do not get it because you do not ask God for it.

bwe@James:4:3 @ You ask for it, but you do not get it, because you ask in a wrong way. You want to use it for yourselves and not for others.

bwe@James:4:4 @ You people promised God you would be true to him, but you did not stay true! Do you not know that if you love the world you hate God? Anyone who wants to be a lover of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

bwe@James:4:5 @ The holy writings say, God gave his Spirit to live in us. And that Spirit wants us for himself. Do you think this means nothing?

bwe@James:4:6 @ But God helps you even more than that. That is why the holy writings say, God fights against those who are proud, but he helps those who are not proud.

bwe@James:4:7 @ So let God control you. Fight the devil and he will run away from you.

bwe@James:4:8 @ Come to God and he will come to you. You bad people, make your hands clean! You love what is good and what is wrong at the same time. Make your hearts clean.

bwe@James:4:9 @ Be sad about this, and cry. Turn your laughing into crying. Stop being happy. Be sad.

bwe@James:4:10 @ Do not be proud before the Lord. Then he will lift you up.

bwe@James:4:11 @ My brothers, do not say wrong things about each other. A man who says wrong things about his brother or judges his brother is saying wrong things about Gods law and he is judging Gods law. If you judge the law, you are not obeying the law, but you are a judge.

bwe@James:4:12 @ God made the law and he is the judge. And he is the one who can save you or kill you. Who are you that you should judge your neighbour?

bwe@James:4:13 @ Listen to me! You say, Today or tomorrow we will go to that town. We will stay there a year. We will buy and sell and get rich. But you do not know what will happen to you tomorrow.

bwe@James:4:14 @ What is your life like? It is like a cloud. It is here for a little while and then it is gone.

bwe@James:4:15 @ You should say If the Lord wants to do it, we will live and do this or that.

bwe@James:4:16 @ But now you talk about the big things you will do. All that kind of talk is wrong!

bwe@James:5:1 @ Rich people, listen to me! Cry loud and long because of the troubles you will have.

bwe@James:5:2 @ Your things are spoiled. Bugs have eaten your clothes.

bwe@James:5:3 @ Your gold and silver are all spoiled. The wrong in them will prove that you have done wrong. The wrong will burn you up like fire. You have kept all these things and now time is almost ended.

bwe@James:5:4 @ Listen! Men worked in your fields to cut your grain and you did not pay them! That money shouts against you. The men who cut your harvest have called out to the Lord who has power and he has heard them.

bwe@James:5:5 @ You have had a good time on earth. You have done anything you wanted to do. Your lives are full of everything. Like a fat animal, you will soon be killed.

bwe@James:5:6 @ You have punished good people. You have killed them. And they do not stop you.

bwe@James:5:7 @ So brothers, take your troubles quietly and wait until the Lord comes. A farmer waits until the harvest grows from the ground. He waits for it a long time until it has had the first and second rain.

bwe@James:5:8 @ You must wait also. Keep your hearts strong, because the Lord will come soon.

bwe@James:5:9 @ Brothers, do not say mean things to each other. If you do, you will be judged. Listen, the judge is standing at the door now.

bwe@James:5:11 @ God blesses those who take their troubles quietly and keep on believing. You have heard about Jobs troubles and how he took them. And you have seen what the Lord did for him at the end. The Lord is very kind and helps people.

bwe@James:5:12 @ My brothers, here is something that matters very much. When you make a promise do not ask heaven to hear it, or the earth, or any other thing. When you mean Yes, just say, Yes. And when you mean No, just say, No. If you do that, you will not be judged.

bwe@James:5:13 @ Is any one of you in trouble? He should talk to God about it. Is any one of you happy? He should sing songs of praise to God.

bwe@James:5:14 @ Is any one of you sick? He should call for the leaders of the church people. They should talk to God about him and put oil on him in the name of the Lord.

bwe@James:5:16 @ So tell one another the wrong things you have done. And tell God about each others needs, so that you will be healed. When a good man talks to God, big things can be done.

bwe@James:5:19 @ My brothers, has one of you left the right way? Has another person brought him back again?

bwe@1Peter:1:1 @ I am Peter. I am an apostle of Jesus Christ. I send this letter to Gods chosen people. You are like people on a journey. You live in the countries of Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia. But you do not belong there.

bwe@1Peter:1:2 @ God the Father chose you as he planned to do long ago. You were made holy by the Spirit. You were chosen to obey Jesus Christ and to be made clean by the blood of his death. May you have much blessing and peace.

bwe@1Peter:1:4 @ Because we are Gods children, one day we shall receive special blessings. They cannot be spoiled in any way, and they will last for ever. They are kept safe in heaven for you.

bwe@1Peter:1:5 @ You are saved by Gods power because you believe. You will then be fully saved. The way is ready and you will see it when the end of time comes.

bwe@1Peter:1:6 @ This makes you very glad, even though now maybe you are sad because you have troubles of many kinds. They are only for a short time.

bwe@1Peter:1:7 @ To believe is worth more than to have gold. Gold can spoil, but it is tested by fire to show that it is good. So troubles test you to prove that you believe. Then, because you really believe, you will be praised and made great and have honour when Jesus Christ comes again.

bwe@1Peter:1:8 @ You love him even though you have not seen him. You trust him even though you do not see him. And so you are very happy. No words can tell how happy you are. Your joy is very great.

bwe@1Peter:1:9 @ God will reward you because you have believed. You will then be fully saved.

bwe@1Peter:1:10 @ The prophets of God long ago told about this way of being saved. They tried to find out about it and asked much about it. They spoke words from God telling about the blessing God would give you.

bwe@1Peter:1:12 @ The Spirit showed them that they told these things not for themselves, but for you. And now the men who told you the good news have told you these same things. They spoke by the power of the Holy Spirit who was sent from heaven. Even the angels wanted very much to know about these things.

bwe@1Peter:1:13 @ So think clearly. Keep awake. When Jesus Christ comes, he will bring you blessing. Set all your hope on that.

bwe@1Peter:1:14 @ Be children who obey. Do not be like what you were before you knew Christ. Then you did anything you wanted to do.

bwe@1Peter:1:15 @ But be holy in all the things you do. Be holy because the one who has called you is holy.

bwe@1Peter:1:16 @ God says in the holy writings, You must be holy, because I am holy.

bwe@1Peter:1:17 @ You call God your Father. He does not think one man is better than another. He judges everyone by what he has done. So then you must fear him as you live your life here on earth.

bwe@1Peter:1:18 @ You know this. You lived the way your fathers taught you to live, and it was not a good way to live. You were bought and set free from that way of life. But you were not bought with silver or gold money, which can spoil.

bwe@1Peter:1:19 @ You were bought with blood that is worth much. It is like the blood of a sheep that is perfect with nothing wrong in its body. You were bought with the blood of Christ.

bwe@1Peter:1:20 @ Before the world was made God chose Christ to do it, and Christ came at the end of time for your sake.

bwe@1Peter:1:21 @ It is through Christ that you believe in God. God raised Christ from death and made him great. And that is why you are able to believe and hope in God.

bwe@1Peter:1:22 @ You have obeyed what is true and that has made your hearts clean. And now you really love your Christian brothers. So with your clean hearts, love each other very much.

bwe@1Peter:1:23 @ You have been made Gods children. He did not make you his children by something that dies, but by something that cannot die. That is the word of God.

bwe@1Peter:1:25 @ But the word of the Lord cannot die! And this word is the good news which has been told to you.

bwe@1Peter:2:1 @ So stop all the wrong things you do. Stop all the ways you cheat people. Stop fooling people. Stop being jealous. Stop saying wrong things about people.

bwe@1Peter:2:2 @ Babies who have just been born want milk very much. In the same way, you should want Gods word. That is like good milk. It will make you grow up so that you will then be fully saved.

bwe@1Peter:2:3 @ You should want Gods word if you have already tasted and know that the Lord is good.

bwe@1Peter:2:5 @ You also are like living stones. You are being built into a temple, a holy place for God. You are to be holy priests there. You are to give sacrifices to God from your heart. God will accept them because of Jesus Christ.

bwe@1Peter:2:7 @ He is worth very much to you who believe in him. But some people do not believe in him. To them he is, the stone that the men who were building would not use. But now it is the chief stone at the corner.

bwe@1Peter:2:8 @ And to them he is also, a stone on which people will hit their feet, and a rock that will make them fall down. They hit their feet on it, because they do not obey the word. It was planned that this would happen to them! But you are a chosen people. You are priests to your king. You are a holy nation. You are Gods very own people. All this is so that you will tell how good he is. He called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.

bwe@1Peter:2:9 @ At one time you were not Gods people. But now you are Gods people. At one time you did not know Gods kindness. Now you do.

bwe@1Peter:2:10 @ Dear brothers, you are people who do not belong to this world. You are like visitors who are on a journey. I beg you, do not do the things your body wants to do. Those things fight against your soul.

bwe@1Peter:2:11 @ Live good lives among the people who do not believe. They may talk about you as if you do wrong things. But when they see the good things you do, they will praise God on the day he comes to help you.

bwe@1Peter:2:14 @ That is what God wants you to do. He wants you to do good things. By doing good things, you will stop foolish people from saying wrong things about you. They say wrong things about you because they do not know you.

bwe@1Peter:2:15 @ You are free people. But do not think, I am free so I can do wrong things. You are Gods servants.

bwe@1Peter:2:16 @ Respect all men. Love your Christian brothers. Fear God. Respect the king.

bwe@1Peter:2:17 @ Servants, respect and obey your masters in all things. Obey not only those who are good to you. But also obey those who are hard on you.

bwe@1Peter:2:19 @ What praise will you have if you take a beating when you have done something wrong? But when you do right and are punished, if you take it quietly, God is pleased.

bwe@1Peter:2:20 @ You have been called to do this because Christ also was punished for you. He showed you what you should do. So do as he did.

bwe@1Peter:2:22 @ When people said wrong things to him, he did not say wrong things to them. When he was punished, he did not say, I will do something to you! But he trusted in God who judges what is right.

bwe@1Peter:2:23 @ Christ in his own body took the wrong things we have done to the cross. He did this so that we would stop our bad ways and live right. Because he was punished, you were healed.

bwe@1Peter:2:24 @ Like lost sheep, you were going away from God. But now you have come back to the one who takes care of you and helps you.

bwe@1Peter:3:1 @ Wives, respect and obey your husbands in the same way. Then the husbands who do not obey the word of God will want to know God. They will want to know God because their wives live good lives, even though they say nothing about God.

bwe@1Peter:3:2 @ They will see that you live holy lives and respect your husbands.

bwe@1Peter:3:3 @ You should not be fine on the outside only. Some women make their hair nice. They wear gold things. They have fine clothes.

bwe@1Peter:3:4 @ But you must be fine in your heart. Have a heart that is gentle and quiet. That will not wear out. And God thinks it is worth very much.

bwe@1Peter:3:6 @ Sarah obeyed Abraham. She called him her master. You are her children if you do what is right and are not afraid of trouble.

bwe@1Peter:3:7 @ Husbands, also live with your wife the way you know is right. Respect her because she is a woman. She is not as strong as a man. Also respect her because God has given her, as well as you, the blessing of life. In this way, you will not stop God from doing what you ask him to do.

bwe@1Peter:3:8 @ Here is one thing more. You must all agree. You must care when others have trouble. You must love your Christian brothers. You must be kind. You must not be proud.

bwe@1Peter:3:9 @ You must not do wrong things to those who do wrong things to you. You must not say wrong things to those who say wrong things to you. But ask God to bless those people. This is what you have been called to do. Then God will bless you.

bwe@1Peter:3:13 @ Who will do something bad to you if you want to do what is good?

bwe@1Peter:3:14 @ But even if people trouble you because you do right, God will bless you. Do not be afraid of them. And do not be troubled.

bwe@1Peter:3:15 @ Worship Christ as Lord in your hearts. Always be ready to give an answer to anyone who asks you about the hope you have. But be gentle and respect him.

bwe@1Peter:3:16 @ Keep your hearts clean. Then when people say wrong things about you, they will be ashamed because they have talked wrongly about your good Christian life.

bwe@1Peter:3:21 @ The water of baptism is like that. It saves you. It does not save you because it washes dirt from your bodies. But it saves you because you bring yourselves to God with a clean heart. It saves you because Jesus Christ has been raised from death.

bwe@1Peter:4:1 @ Christ suffered in his body. You also must be ready to have the same trouble happen to you. When a man has suffered in his body, he has stopped doing wrong things.

bwe@1Peter:4:3 @ In the time past you did the same things as people who do not believe God. Let that be enough. You did things you should be ashamed of. You did what you wanted to do. You got drunk. You got into fights. You took part in noisy feasting with dancing. You did wrong by worshipping idols.

bwe@1Peter:4:4 @ Those people are surprised now that you do not do the same wrong things they do. And they say wrong things about you.

bwe@1Peter:4:8 @ Here is something that matters very much. You must love each other very much. Love will cover up many wrong things.

bwe@1Peter:4:9 @ Be glad to take other Christians into your house and care for them. And do not grumble about it.

bwe@1Peter:4:10 @ God has given each person a gift. That gift is something he can do. Each one should use his gift to help the others. In that way you all make good use of the many blessings God has given you.

bwe@1Peter:4:11 @ Has God blessed you by knowing how to talk? Then you should talk the words of God. Are you a helper? Then you should help with the strength God has given you. In all that you do, you should show that God is great through Jesus Christ. He has praise and power for ever. Yes, he has!

bwe@1Peter:4:12 @ My dear brothers, do not be surprised by the hard trouble like fire that comes to test you. Do not think some new thing is happening to you.

bwe@1Peter:4:13 @ Be glad when you suffer as Christ did. Then you will also be very glad when he comes and you see how great he is.

bwe@1Peter:4:14 @ Do men say wrong things about you because you are a Christian? Then you are blessed because the wonderful Spirit, the Spirit of God, is with you.

bwe@1Peter:4:15 @ Do not kill. Do not steal. Do not do wrong. Do not try to boss other people. None of you should suffer because you have done these things.

bwe@1Peter:4:19 @ If God allows you to suffer, trust him. He made you and you can trust him. But keep on doing good things.

bwe@1Peter:5:1 @ So I am talking to the leaders among you. I am also a leader. I saw the sufferings of Christ. And I will have some part of his greatness when he comes again.

bwe@1Peter:5:2 @ Take good care of Gods people. They have been given to you to care for. Do this, not because you must do it, but because you want to please God. Do it not for the money that you get for doing it, but because you are glad to do it.

bwe@1Peter:5:3 @ Do not be like a boss over the people you care for, telling them how to live. But show them how to live by the way you live.

bwe@1Peter:5:4 @ Christ the big Shepherd who takes care of all people is coming. When he comes, he will give you a crown to show that you are great. You will have it for ever.

bwe@1Peter:5:5 @ Also, you who are younger men, obey your leaders. I say to all of you, do not be proud. Do not think you are better than the others. The holy writings say, God fights against proud people, but he helps those who are not proud.

bwe@1Peter:5:6 @ You are under Gods power. Do not be proud, so that at the right time he may put you into a higher place.

bwe@1Peter:5:7 @ Turn all your troubles over to him, because he cares for you and is watching over you.

bwe@1Peter:5:8 @ Keep awake! Watch! Your enemy the devil is walking around like a growling lion. He is looking for someone to catch.

bwe@1Peter:5:9 @ Fight against the devil. Be strong because you believe. Remember that your brothers all over the world suffer the same kind of trouble as you.

bwe@1Peter:5:10 @ God gives all blessings. He has called you through Christ to be great with him for ever. When you have suffered for a short time, he will make you all right. He will make you strong and steady.

bwe@1Peter:5:12 @ Silas has written this short letter for me. I believe he is a brother who can be trusted. I have written to help you and tell you the true way to have Gods blessing. Stand firm in that way!

bwe@1Peter:5:13 @ The church people in the city of Babylon greet you. God has also chosen them. My son Mark also greets you.

bwe@1Peter:5:14 @ Greet one another with a kiss of love. May all of you who are Christians have peace.

bwe@2Peter:1:1 @ I am Simon Peter. I am a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ. I send greetings to you who have believed as we have. Believing is worth just as much to you as it is to us. This is because our God and Saviour, Jesus Christ, is right and good.

bwe@2Peter:1:2 @ May the loving kindness of God bless you and give you more and more peace because you know God and Jesus our Lord.

bwe@2Peter:1:4 @ Because of these things, he has promised us things that are worth very much and are very great. He has promised these things to us so that by them you may become like God too. By them you will be kept free from the selfish desires of the people in the world. These desires lead to death.

bwe@2Peter:1:5 @ So now you believe, try to live a good life. When you live a good life, try to learn more about God.

bwe@2Peter:1:6 @ When you have learned more, be strong to do what is right. Then go on doing what is right, even if it is hard. As you go about doing right, keep close to God.

bwe@2Peter:1:7 @ As you keep close to God, love your Christian brothers. When you love your Christian brothers, love everyone!

bwe@2Peter:1:8 @ If you do these things and you do them more and more, you will be good Christians and you will know more and more about our Lord Jesus Christ.

bwe@2Peter:1:10 @ So my brothers, try to show that God has called you and chosen you. If you do these things, you will never fall.

bwe@2Peter:1:11 @ That will make it easy for you to go into the kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. His kingdom will be for ever.

bwe@2Peter:1:12 @ I do want always to bring these things to your minds. I will do this even though you know them, and even though you are strong in the true way that you already have.

bwe@2Peter:1:13 @ I think it is right, as long as I live, to keep these things in your minds.

bwe@2Peter:1:15 @ But I will try to see that you have something to bring these things to your minds, even after I am gone.

bwe@2Peter:1:16 @ We have told you about the power of our Lord Jesus Christ and that he is coming again. We did not tell you stories someone told us. We ourselves saw how great he is.

bwe@2Peter:1:19 @ And so we are more sure about what the prophets of God said long ago. You will do well to listen to them. It is like a lamp shining in a dark place. Then the daylight will come and the morning star will shine in your hearts.

bwe@2Peter:1:20 @ First you must understand this. The words from the prophets in the holy writings did not come from their own minds.

bwe@2Peter:2:1 @ But prophets who were not true were also among the people of Israel. Also there will be teachers who will not be true among you. They will bring in wrong teaching that leads to death. They will even say that they do not belong to the Master who bought them. And so they will quickly bring themselves to death.

bwe@2Peter:2:3 @ Because they are greedy for money, they will trick you with lies. For a long time God has planned to punish them. They will be punished at the right time.

bwe@2Peter:2:13 @ Bad things will happen to them because they have done wrong things. They think it is fun to have a good time during the day. They are like spots and sores. They like to eat and drink at the love feasts with you. They are trying to fool you.

bwe@2Peter:3:1 @ My dear brothers, this is my second letter to you. In both of my letters I have tried to bring some things to your good minds.

bwe@2Peter:3:2 @ I want you to remember what Gods prophets said would happen. And I want you to remember what we apostles told you that our Lord and Saviour said.

bwe@2Peter:3:9 @ God will do what he promised. He is not slow though, as some people think he is. But he is waiting a long time for you. He does not want anyone to die, but he wants all people to stop their wrong ways.

bwe@2Peter:3:11 @ That is the way the whole world will go. So think what kind of people you should be! Think how holy and true to God your lives should be!

bwe@2Peter:3:12 @ You should look for the day of God and do everything you can to make it come quickly. On that day the sky will be on fire and go away. The elements will burn and melt away.

bwe@2Peter:3:14 @ My dear brothers, you are looking for these things. So do all you can so that the Lord will find you without any bad or wrong thing in your lives. Let him find you at peace with one another.

bwe@2Peter:3:15 @ Think of this. He is waiting a long time so that people will be saved. Our dear brother Paul also wrote these things to you, because God has made him wise.

bwe@2Peter:3:17 @ My dear brothers, you know about these things before they happen. Take care that you do not do the same things that bad people do. Take care that you do not stop believing the right way.

bwe@1John:1:1 @ The Word of life always was living, even from the beginning. We heard him. We saw him with our own eyes. We looked at him, and we touched him with our own hands. We are writing to you about this Word of life.

bwe@1John:1:2 @ This life came to earth. We saw him, and we know about him. And we tell you about this life that lives for ever. This life was with the Father and came to us.

bwe@1John:1:3 @ We tell you also what we have seen and heard. We tell you so that you also will belong with us. And we belong with the Father and the Son.

bwe@1John:1:4 @ We write these things to you so that we all will be very happy.

bwe@1John:1:5 @ God is like light and he is not dark at all. That is the message we heard from him. That is the message we are telling you.

bwe@1John:2:1 @ My children, I am writing these things to you so that you will not do wrong things. But if anyone does something wrong, we have a Friend to help us. He speaks to God for us. He is Jesus Christ who does what is right.

bwe@1John:2:7 @ My dear brothers, I am not writing you a new law. This is an old law. You had it from the beginning. The old law is the word which you have heard.

bwe@1John:2:8 @ But in a way, I am writing you a new law. The darkness is going away and the true light is shining already.

bwe@1John:2:12 @ Children, I am writing to you because God has forgiven the wrong things you have done. Your wrong ways have been forgiven because of what Christ did.

bwe@1John:2:13 @ Fathers, I am writing to you because you know the One who has lived from the beginning. Young men, I am writing to you because you have won the victory over the devil. Children, I write to you because you know Father God.

bwe@1John:2:14 @ Fathers, I write to you because you know him, the one who has lived from the beginning. Young men, I write to you because you are strong. You believe Gods word. You have won the victory over the devil.

bwe@1John:2:18 @ Children, we are very near the end of time. You have heard that someone will come who is against Christ. Many who are against Christ have already come. That is how we know that we are very near the end of time.

bwe@1John:2:20 @ But the Holy One has given you a gift of understanding so that you all may know what is true.

bwe@1John:2:21 @ I write to you, not because you do not know what is true, but because you do know. And you know that no lie is true.

bwe@1John:2:24 @ So keep what you have heard from the beginning. If you keep what you have heard from the beginning, you too belong to the Son and to the Father.

bwe@1John:2:26 @ I have written these things to you about the ones who try to fool you.

bwe@1John:2:27 @ You have a gift of understanding from Christ. That gift stays with you. You do not need anyone to teach you. His gift teaches you about everything. It is true. It is not a lie. So stay with him as he has taught you.

bwe@1John:2:29 @ You know that he does what is right. So you know also that everyone who does what is right is his child.

bwe@1John:3:5 @ You know that Christ came to take away the wrong things people have done. He is the one who has done no wrong.

bwe@1John:3:7 @ My children, do not let anyone fool you. Anyone who does what is good, is good just as Christ is good.

bwe@1John:3:11 @ This is the word you have heard from the beginning. We must love one another.

bwe@1John:3:13 @ My brothers, do not be surprised if people in this world hate you.

bwe@1John:3:15 @ Everyone who hates his brother is like a man who kills a person. And you know that no one who kills a person has life that will live for ever.

bwe@1John:4:2 @ Here is how you can know the Spirit of God. Every spirit that believes that Jesus Christ has come in the body of a man is from God.

bwe@1John:4:3 @ And every spirit that does not say this about Jesus, does not belong to God. That is the spirit of the one who is against Christ. You have heard that he is coming. And now he is already in the world.

bwe@1John:4:4 @ My children, you belong to God. You have won the victory over those prophets who are not true. You have won because the Spirit that is in you is stronger than the spirit that is in the world.

bwe@1John:4:14 @ And we have seen and we are telling you that the Father sent his Son to save the people in the world.

bwe@1John:5:13 @ I have written these things to you who believe on the name of the Son of God. I have written them so that you will know that you will live for ever.

bwe@2John:1:1 @ From the leader of the church people. I send greetings to the lady whom God has chosen, and to her children. I love you all because you have the truth about Christ. I am not the only one who loves you. All those who know the truth, love you also.

bwe@2John:1:2 @ We love you because of the truth we share which is in our hearts and will be with us for ever.

bwe@2John:1:4 @ I was very glad to find that some of your children are living in the right way. They are living the way the Father told us to live.

bwe@2John:1:5 @ And now I want to ask you to do something. I am not telling you to do something new. It is the same law we had from the beginning. It is this, We must love one another.

bwe@2John:1:6 @ We love God when we live the way God has told us. This is the law you heard from the beginning. You must live by it.

bwe@2John:1:8 @ Watch out for yourselves! Do not lose what you have worked for, but receive all the reward that you should have.

bwe@2John:1:10 @ If anyone comes to you who does not teach what Christ taught, do not take him into your house. Do not even greet him.

bwe@2John:1:12 @ I have much to write to you. But I do not want to write it on paper. I hope to come to visit you and talk with you. Then we will be very happy.

bwe@2John:1:13 @ The children of your sister whom God has chosen send their greetings.

bwe@3John:1:1 @ From the leader of the church people. I send greetings to my dear Gaius. I love you because you have Christ.

bwe@3John:1:2 @ My dear brother, I ask God that you may be all right in every way and that your body may be well. I know that your soul is all right.

bwe@3John:1:3 @ I was very happy when the brothers came and told me that you have been true. They said you are really living the right way.

bwe@3John:1:4 @ Nothing can make me more happy than to hear that my children are living in the right way. My dear brother, when you help your Christian brothers in any way, even though you do not know them, you show that you do what you say you believe.

bwe@3John:1:5 @ They have told the people of the church here how you showed your love to them. Please send them on their way as God would have you do.

bwe@3John:1:10 @ Everyone says Demetrius is a good man. All this is true. We say the same thing too. And you know that what we say is true.

bwe@3John:1:11 @ I have much to write to you. But I do not want to write to you with pen and ink.

bwe@3John:1:12 @ I hope to see you very soon. Then we will talk together.

bwe@3John:1:13 @ May God give you peace. Our friends greet you. Greet everyone of my friends.

bwe@Jude:1:1 @ I am Jude. I am a servant of Jesus Christ and I am a brother of James. I send greetings to you whom God the Father has called. He has loved you and kept you safe for Jesus Christ.

bwe@Jude:1:2 @ May God be kind to you. May he give you peace. May he love you very much.

bwe@Jude:1:3 @ My dear brothers, I wanted very much to write to you and tell you how we all are saved. But then I saw that I must write and tell you to hold very strongly to what you do believe. Fight against those who want to change it. The right way to believe has been given to Gods people once for all times.

bwe@Jude:1:5 @ You know all these things for all times. But I want to bring them to your minds. First, the Lord saved his people from the country of Egypt. At a time after that, he killed those who did not believe in him.

bwe@Jude:1:9 @ At one time Michael the chief angel had a quarrel with the devil about who should have the body of Moses. But he did not dare to judge the devil and say wrong things about him. He said, May the Lord tell you to stop!

bwe@Jude:1:12 @ These men spoil your love feasts. They are not afraid to eat and drink with you. They take care only of themselves. They are like clouds that do not give rain, and are blown around by the winds. They are like trees when their leaves are gone and they have no fruit. These trees are also dead because they have been pulled up by the roots.

bwe@Jude:1:17 @ But, my dear brothers, you must remember what the apostles of the Lord Jesus Christ said would happen.

bwe@Jude:1:18 @ They said to you, At the end of time, men will come who will make fun of holy things. They will do the wrong things they themselves want to do.

bwe@Jude:1:20 @ But you, my dear brothers, must make your lives better in the holy things you believe. Talk to God in the Holy Spirit.

bwe@Jude:1:21 @ Keep yourselves in Gods love. Wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to come and help you. He will give you life that will live for ever.

bwe@Jude:1:23 @ Pull them out of the fire and save them. There are other people to whom you must be kind, but be careful about it. But you must hate even the clothes that bad people have worn.

bwe@Jude:1:24 @ God can keep you from doing anything wrong. He can bring you to the place where he is great and you will be all good. You will be very happy.
