bwe@Matthew:7:25 @ It rained hard. The water in the rivers came up high. The winds were strong and beat on the house. But it did not fall down. It was built on a rock.

bwe@Matthew:9:13 @ Go and learn what this means: "I want you to be kind. I do not want a sacrifice." I did not come to call good people. I came to call bad people to stop doing wrong things.

bwe@Matthew:11:11 @ I tell you the truth. No one has ever been born who is greater than John the Baptizer. And yet the smallest one in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

bwe@Matthew:11:13 @ All the prophets and the books of the law gave Gods word until John came.

bwe@Matthew:11:16 @ What shall I say that the people of today are like? They are like children who sit in the market. They call to the other children.

bwe@Matthew:11:28 @ All you who work hard! All you who carry heavy loads! Come to me! I will give you rest.

bwe@Matthew:12:15 @ Jesus knew about their plan, so he went away from there. Many people followed him and he healed them all.

bwe@Matthew:12:23 @ All the people were surprised. They said, Is he Davids son?

bwe@Matthew:13:45 @ The kingdom of heaven is like this. A trader was looking for fine stones called pearls.

bwe@Matthew:13:47 @ The kingdom of heaven is like this. A fish net was thrown into the sea. It caught all kinds of fish.

bwe@Matthew:13:51 @ Jesus asked, Have you understood all these stories? The disciples said, Yes.

bwe@Matthew:13:54 @ He went back to his home town and he taught people in their meeting house. They were very much surprised and said, Where did he learn all this? Where did he get the power to do these big works?

bwe@Matthew:13:56 @ Are not his sisters all here with us? Where did he get all this?

bwe@Matthew:14:9 @ The king was very sorry to do this. But he had made a promise. And all the people who were there had heard him promise. So he gave orders to do it.

bwe@Matthew:14:20 @ They all ate and had enough. They gathered twelve baskets full of pieces that were left.

bwe@Matthew:14:30 @ He saw what the wind did. Then he was afraid and began to go down in the water. He called out, Lord, save me!

bwe@Matthew:15:22 @ Jesus did not answer her. His disciples came to him and said, Send her away. She keeps calling after us.

bwe@Matthew:15:26 @ She answered, Yes, sir. But even the little dogs eat the food that falls from the tables of their masters.

bwe@Matthew:15:31 @ Jesus called his disciples to him. He said, I share the suffering of the people. They have been with me for three days and they have nothing to eat. I do not want to send them away hungry. If they go away hungry, they will get weak and fall on the way.

bwe@Matthew:15:33 @ Jesus said to them, How many loaves of bread have you? They said, We have seven, and a few small fish.

bwe@Matthew:15:36 @ They all ate and had enough. They gathered seven baskets full of pieces that were left.

bwe@Matthew:18:2 @ Jesus called a child to him. He had the child stand in front of them.

bwe@Matthew:18:4 @ So anyone who feels himself small like this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

bwe@Matthew:18:10 @ Do not think badly of these little children. I tell you this. They have angels in heaven. And all the time their angels can see the face of my father who is in heaven.

bwe@Matthew:18:28 @ That same servant went out and met another servant. This man owed him a much smaller sum of money. He caught him by the throat and said, Pay me what you owe me!"

bwe@Matthew:18:32 @ Then his master called the first servant to him. He said, "You bad man! I let you go. I did not make you pay all you owed me, because you begged me to be kind to you.

bwe@Matthew:18:34 @ His master was very angry. He turned the servant over to the prison guards until he could pay all he owed him.

bwe@Matthew:19:20 @ The young man said, I have kept all those laws. What more must I do?

bwe@Matthew:19:21 @ Jesus said, If you want to be all right, go and sell everything you have. Give the money to poor people. For this you will be rich in heaven. Then come and go with me.

bwe@Matthew:19:27 @ Then Peter said, See, we have left all things and have come with you. So what will we have?

bwe@Matthew:20:6 @ About five oclock he went out again and found other men standing around. He said to them, "Why have you been standing here all day? Why are you not working?"

bwe@Matthew:20:8 @ When evening came, the man who owned the farm said to his manager, "Call the workmen and pay them. Begin with those who came last and end with those who came first."

bwe@Matthew:20:12 @ They said, "These men came last, and worked only one hour. Yet you paid them the same as you paid us. We worked all day, when the sun was hot."

bwe@Matthew:20:32 @ Jesus stopped and called the men to him. He asked, What do you want me to do for you?

bwe@Matthew:21:1 @ Jesus and his disciples came near to Jerusalem. They came to the village of Bethphage by the hill called the Mount of Olives. Then Jesus sent two of his disciples ahead.

bwe@Matthew:21:10 @ When Jesus came into Jerusalem, all the people there were very excited. They said, Who is this?

bwe@Matthew:21:12 @ Jesus went into the temple of God. He drove out all the people who were buying and selling in the temple. He threw down the tables of the money changers. He pushed down the seats of those who sold doves.

bwe@Matthew:21:13 @ He said to them, The holy writings say, "My house shall be called a house where people talk with God." But you have made it a place for people who steal!

bwe@Matthew:21:15 @ The chief priests and the scribes saw the big works that Jesus did. They saw the children calling out in the temple, God save the Son of David! They were angry.

bwe@Matthew:21:21 @ Jesus said to them, I tell you the truth. Believe God. Do not doubt him. Then you can do what I did to this fig tree. But that is not all. You can even say to this hill, "Go and jump into the sea" and it will be done.

bwe@Matthew:21:26 @ But if we say, "Men gave him the right to do it," we have the people to fear, because all the people say that John was a prophet.

bwe@Matthew:21:33 @ Listen to another story. A man planted a farm of vines for growing fruit called grapes. He put a fence of small trees around it. He dug a place to press the juice from the fruit. He built a high house from which men could watch over the farm. He let some men pay to use it. Then he went to a country far away.

bwe@Matthew:21:37 @ Last of all he sent his son to them. He said, "They will respect my son."

bwe@Matthew:21:38 @ When the men saw the son, they said to each other, "This is the one who will have everything when his father dies. Let us kill him and we will have it all."

bwe@Matthew:21:44 @ If anyone falls on this stone, he will be broken to pieces. But if this stone falls on anyone, it will crush him.

bwe@Matthew:22:3 @ The king sent his servants to call the people who had been asked to the wedding. But they would not come.

bwe@Matthew:22:4 @ He sent other servants to call them. He said, "Tell those who were asked to the wedding that my dinner is cooked. The cows and bullocks have been killed. Everything is ready. Come now to the wedding."

bwe@Matthew:22:9 @ Go out on the roads. Call all the people you find to come to the wedding."

bwe@Matthew:22:10 @ So those servants went out on the roads. They brought all the people they could find, both bad and good people. Then the room was full of people for the wedding.

bwe@Matthew:22:26 @ The same thing happened to the second brother, and the third one, and all seven of them.

bwe@Matthew:22:27 @ Last of all, the woman died.

bwe@Matthew:22:28 @ Now then, when people rise from death, which of the seven brothers will have her for his wife? They all married her.

bwe@Matthew:22:36 @ Teacher, he said, which law is the greatest law of all?

bwe@Matthew:22:37 @ Jesus said, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart. Love him with all your soul, and love him with all your mind."

bwe@Matthew:22:40 @ All that is written in the books of the law and the books of the prophets is about these two laws.

bwe@Matthew:22:43 @ Jesus asked, Then how can David call him "Lord"? He said, by the Spirit,

bwe@Matthew:22:45 @ David calls Christ his Lord. How can Christ be Davids son?

bwe@Matthew:23:5 @ They do all their work to be seen by people. They wear bigger and bigger boxes with Gods word in. And they make wider and wider borders on their gowns.

bwe@Matthew:23:7 @ They want people to greet them in the market, and to call them "Teacher".

bwe@Matthew:23:8 @ But people should not call you "Teacher". You have one Teacher. And you are all brothers.

bwe@Matthew:23:9 @ Do not call anyone on earth your "Father". You have one Father. He is in heaven.

bwe@Matthew:23:10 @ People should not call you "Master". You have one Master. He is the Christ.

bwe@Matthew:23:20 @ So if anyone makes a promise by Gods altar, he makes his promise by it and by all that is on it.

bwe@Matthew:23:22 @ If anyone makes a promise by heaven, he makes his promise by Gods big chair called a throne and by God who sits on the throne.

bwe@Matthew:23:23 @ You scribes and Pharisees will have trouble. You who are not true to yourselves! You give God a tenth part of small garden plants. But you have not done those bigger matters of the law. You have not judged in the right way. You have not been kind. You have not believed God. You should be doing these things and the other things too.

bwe@Matthew:23:27 @ You scribes and Pharisees will have trouble. You who are not true to yourselves! You are like graves that have been painted white. Outside they look very nice. But inside they are full of dead mens bones and all kinds of dirt.

bwe@Matthew:23:35 @ So you will be punished for all the blood of every good man that is on the ground. I mean all the blood from the time of Abel, who was a good man, to Zechariah, the son of Barachiah. You killed him between the temple and Gods altar.

bwe@Matthew:23:36 @ I tell you the truth. The people who are still living now will be punished for all these things.

bwe@Matthew:24:2 @ But Jesus answered them, Do you see these buildings? I tell you the truth. Not one stone here will be left on top of another stone. They will all be thrown down!

bwe@Matthew:24:3 @ Jesus was sitting on the hill called the Mount of Olives. The disciples came to him alone. They said, Tell us, when will this happen? What will be the sign to show you are coming and that it is the end of this world?

bwe@Matthew:24:8 @ All these troubles are only the beginning of troubles that will come.

bwe@Matthew:24:9 @ Then people will trouble you and kill you. All nations will hate you because you are true to me.

bwe@Matthew:24:14 @ This good news about the kingdom will be told in all the world. The people in all countries must know about it. And then the end will come.

bwe@Matthew:24:28 @ The big birds that eat meat will all go to the place where the dead body is.

bwe@Matthew:24:29 @ Right after that time of trouble, the sun will be dark. The moon will not shine. The stars will fall from the sky. And the powers in the sky will be shaken.

bwe@Matthew:24:30 @ Then people will see the sign of the Son of Man in the sky. Then all the people of the earth will cry. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds in the sky. He will have much power and will be very great.

bwe@Matthew:24:31 @ He will send his angels to call with a loud trumpet or horn. They will gather his chosen people from everywhere all over the earth.

bwe@Matthew:24:33 @ It is the same when you see all these things. You will know that the time is very near, right at the door.

bwe@Matthew:24:34 @ I tell you the truth. The people who are living then, will not die before all these things happen.

bwe@Matthew:24:39 @ The people did not know until much water came and killed them all. When the Son of Man comes, it will be like that.

bwe@Matthew:24:47 @ I tell you the truth. His master will put him in charge of all that he has.

bwe@Matthew:25:5 @ It was a long time before the man came, so they all went to sleep.

bwe@Matthew:25:6 @ At midnight there was a call, "Here comes the man who is to be married! Come out to meet him."

bwe@Matthew:25:7 @ Then all the young women woke up. They cleaned their lamps.

bwe@Matthew:25:9 @ But the wise ones answered, "There may not be enough oil for us all. Go to the market and buy some for yourselves."

bwe@Matthew:25:11 @ After that, the other women also came. They called, "Sir, sir, open the door for us."

bwe@Matthew:25:14 @ The kingdom of heaven will be like the time a man went to a country far away. He called his servants and put them in charge of his money.

bwe@Matthew:25:31 @ The Son of Man will be great and will come with all his holy angels. Then he will sit on his throne like a king.

bwe@Matthew:25:32 @ All the nations will be gathered in front of him. He will put them in two groups like a man who takes care of sheep. He puts the sheep on one side of him and he puts the goats on the other side of him.

bwe@Matthew:25:40 @ The King will answer them, "I tell you the truth. What you did for even the smallest of these people you did for me. They are my brothers."

bwe@Matthew:25:45 @ Then the King will answer them, "I tell you the truth. What you did not do for even the smallest of these, you did not do for me."

bwe@Matthew:26:1 @ When Jesus had finished telling all these things, he talked to his disciples.

bwe@Matthew:26:27 @ He also took a cup. He thanked God for it. Then he gave it to the disciples and said, All of you drink from this.

bwe@Matthew:26:30 @ They sang a song and then went out to the hill called the Mount of Olives.

bwe@Matthew:26:31 @ Then Jesus said to them, All of you will leave me this night. The holy writings say, "I will kill the one who takes care of the sheep. And the sheep will run away."

bwe@Matthew:26:33 @ Peter said, Even if all the others leave you, I will never leave you.

bwe@Matthew:26:34 @ Jesus said, I tell you the truth. This night, before the cock calls, you will say three times that you do not know me.

bwe@Matthew:26:35 @ Peter said, Even if I must die with you, I will never say I do not know you! All the disciples said the same thing.

bwe@Matthew:26:36 @ Then Jesus came to a place called Gethsemane. He said to his disciples, Sit down here. I will go over there and talk with God.

bwe@Matthew:26:52 @ Then Jesus said to him, Put your sword back in its place. All people who fight with a sword will be killed by a sword.

bwe@Matthew:26:56 @ All this happened so that what the prophets said in the holy writings would come true. Then all the disciples left Jesus and ran away.

bwe@Matthew:26:59 @ The chief priests and all the judges of the court tried to find men to say Jesus had done something wrong so they could kill him.

bwe@Matthew:26:63 @ But Jesus said nothing at all. Then the high priest said to him, I ask you in the name of the living God. Tell us. Are you the Christ, the Son of God?

bwe@Matthew:26:64 @ Jesus answered him, Yes, I am. Also I tell you that after this you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the One who has all power. You will see him coming on the clouds in the sky!

bwe@Matthew:26:70 @ But Peter said in front of them all, I do not know what you are talking about.

bwe@Matthew:26:74 @ Then Peter began to say even more bad words. He said, I do not know the man! Right then, a cock called.

bwe@Matthew:26:75 @ Then Peter remembered that Jesus had said, Before the cock calls, you will say three times that you do not know me. Then Peter went out and cried very much.

bwe@Matthew:27:1 @ When it was morning, all the chief priests and the leaders of the people made a plan against Jesus. They wanted to kill him.

bwe@Matthew:27:8 @ That is why that field has been called The field of blood until now.

bwe@Matthew:27:17 @ So while the people were there Pilate asked them, Which one do you want me to let free for you, Barabbas or Jesus who is called Christ?

bwe@Matthew:27:22 @ Pilate said to them, Then what shall I do with Jesus, who is called Christ? They all said, Nail him to a cross!

bwe@Matthew:27:25 @ Then all the people answered, We and our children will do that.

bwe@Matthew:27:27 @ Then Pilates soldiers took Jesus to a room. They called all the soldiers together.

bwe@Matthew:27:33 @ They came to a place called Golgotha. That means, The place of a head bone.

bwe@Matthew:27:40 @ They said, You are the man who said you could break down the temple and build it again in three days. Save yourself! If you are really Gods Son, come down from the cross.

bwe@Matthew:27:46 @ About three oclock, Jesus called out loud, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? That means, My God, my God, why have you left me alone?

bwe@Matthew:27:47 @ Some of the people standing there heard what Jesus said. They said This man is calling for Elijah.

bwe@Matthew:27:48 @ Right away, one of them ran to get something called a sponge. He made it wet with sour wine and put it on the end of a stick. With it he gave Jesus a drink.

bwe@Matthew:27:50 @ Jesus called out loud again. Then he died.

bwe@Matthew:28:11 @ While the women were going, some of the soldiers who had guarded the grave came into the city. They told the chief priests all that had happened.

bwe@Matthew:28:18 @ Jesus came and talked to them. He said, All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me.

bwe@Matthew:28:19 @ So go and make disciples in all countries. Baptise them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

bwe@Matthew:28:20 @ Teach them to do all the things I have told you to do. I am with you always, even to the end of time.

bwe@Mark:1:2 @ The men of God, called prophets, long ago wrote about it this way: God said, See, I send my man ahead of you to tell about you. He will make the way ready for you.

bwe@Mark:1:3 @ A man is calling out in the desert, "Make the way ready for the Lord. Make the road straight for him."

bwe@Mark:1:5 @ People from all the land of Judea and all the city of Jerusalem went out to John. He baptised them in the Jordan River when they told about the wrong things they did.

bwe@Mark:1:10 @ As soon as he came up out of the water, Jesus saw the sky open. He saw Gods Holy Spirit come down on him like a bird called a dove.

bwe@Mark:1:13 @ Jesus was in the desert for forty days. All that time Satan tried to make Jesus do wrong. Jesus was with wild animals. Angels came and took care of him.

bwe@Mark:1:20 @ Jesus called them. Right away they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the workmen and went with Jesus.

bwe@Mark:1:22 @ They were very much surprised at his teaching because he taught them as if he had the right to teach them. He did not teach them like their teachers called scribes.

bwe@Mark:1:24 @ He called out, Jesus of Nazareth, what do you want to do to us? Have you come to kill us? I know who you are. You are the Holy One of God.

bwe@Mark:1:26 @ The bad spirit threw the man around. It called out loud and then it came out of the man.

bwe@Mark:1:27 @ The people were all surprised. They said one to another, What is this? Is not this a new teaching? He tells the bad spirits what to do and even they obey him

bwe@Mark:1:28 @ The people all around Galilee heard right away about Jesus.

bwe@Mark:1:32 @ That evening when the sun went down, people brought to Jesus all the sick people and those who had bad spirits.

bwe@Mark:1:33 @ All the people in the city crowded around the door.

bwe@Mark:1:39 @ Then Jesus talked to the people in all the meeting houses in all the country of Galilee. He also made the bad spirits come out of people.

bwe@Mark:2:12 @ Right away the man stood up in front of them. He took up his mat and went home. They were all very much surprised, and they praised God. They said, We have never seen anything like this before.

bwe@Mark:2:17 @ Jesus heard it. He said to them, People who are well do not need a doctor. But sick people need him. I did not come to call good people. I came to call bad people to stop doing wrong things.

bwe@Mark:3:9 @ Jesus saw that the crowd was very big. He told the disciples to have a small boat ready for him so that he would have more room.

bwe@Mark:3:10 @ He did this because he healed many people. All who were sick tried to touch him.

bwe@Mark:3:13 @ Then Jesus went up on the hill. He wanted some of the people to come with him. So he called them and they came.

bwe@Mark:3:16 @ One of the twelve was Simon, whom Jesus called Peter.

bwe@Mark:3:23 @ Jesus called the people and talked to them in stories. He asked, How can Satan drive out Satan?

bwe@Mark:3:28 @ I tell you the truth. All wrong things that people do and say about anyone will be forgiven.

bwe@Mark:3:30 @ Jesus said all this because the scribes said, A bad spirit is in him.

bwe@Mark:4:13 @ Jesus said also, Do you not understand this story? How then are you going to understand all the stories?

bwe@Mark:4:29 @ When the harvest is really ready, he cuts it right away because the harvest time has come.

bwe@Mark:4:30 @ And Jesus said, What is the kingdom of God like? What shall I say it is like?

bwe@Mark:4:31 @ It is like this. A mustard seed is the smallest seed that is ever planted in the earth.

bwe@Mark:4:39 @ Then Jesus got up. He said to the wind and the sea, Stop! The wind stopped. Then all was quiet.

bwe@Mark:5:5 @ All the time he stayed in the hills where the graves were. He screamed day and night and cut himself with sharp stones.

bwe@Mark:5:7 @ He called out loud, Jesus, Son of the High God, what are you going to do to me? I beg you not to hurt me.

bwe@Mark:5:14 @ Then the men who cared for the pigs ran away. They told the people in the city and all around the country about it. The people went out to see what had happened.

bwe@Mark:5:20 @ So the man went away and told people in the Ten Towns what Jesus had done for him. All the people were surprised.

bwe@Mark:5:25 @ A woman among them had a sickness for twelve years. She was bleeding all the time.

bwe@Mark:5:26 @ Many doctors tried to heal her. She spent all the money she had to pay them. She was not better, but was getting worse.

bwe@Mark:5:31 @ But his disciples said to him, You see all these people pushing around you. Why do you ask, "Who touched me?"

bwe@Mark:5:40 @ They laughed at him. So he sent them all outside. Then he took the girls father and mother and the three disciples into the room where the girl was lying.

bwe@Mark:6:2 @ On the Sabbath day he began to teach in the meeting house again. Many people who heard him were very much surprised and said, Where did he learn all this? Where did he get the power to do these big works?

bwe@Mark:6:7 @ He called the twelve disciples to him and sent them out two by two. He gave them power to drive bad spirits out of people.

bwe@Mark:6:21 @ rod made a feast on his birthday. He called all his rulers and the captains and the leaders of Galilee to come to the feast.

bwe@Mark:6:24 @ The girl went to her mother and said, What shall I ask for? Her mother said, Ask for the head of John the Baptizer.

bwe@Mark:6:26 @ The king was very sorry. But he had made a promise and all the people at the feast had heard him promise. He wanted to do what he promised her.

bwe@Mark:6:30 @ The apostles came back to Jesus. They told him all they had done and taught.

bwe@Mark:6:33 @ The people saw them going. Many people knew them. The people ran from all the towns and got there ahead of them.

bwe@Mark:6:37 @ Jesus said, You give them food to eat. They said, Shall we go and buy a lot of bread and give them to eat?

bwe@Mark:6:39 @ Jesus told the disciples to make all the people sit on the green grass in groups.

bwe@Mark:6:41 @ Jesus took the five loaves of bread and the two fish. He looked up to heaven and thanked God for them. Then he broke them in pieces. He gave them to the disciples to give to the people. Then he divided the two fish among them all.

bwe@Mark:6:42 @ They all ate and had enough.

bwe@Mark:6:50 @ They all saw him and were very much afraid. He spoke to them right away. He said, Be glad! It is I. Do not fear.

bwe@Mark:6:55 @ They went quickly to all the country around. They brought sick people in their beds to the place where they heard Jesus was.

bwe@Mark:6:56 @ They laid sick people by the road in villages, towns, and farms and every place he went. They begged him to let them touch his clothes. And all the people who touched him were healed.

bwe@Mark:7:3 @ They and all the Jews keep the laws made by men. God did not give them those laws. They do not eat until they wash their hands very well.

bwe@Mark:7:14 @ Then Jesus called the people to him again. He said, Listen to me, all of you, and understand what I say.

bwe@Mark:7:21 @ Here is what comes from the heart: wrong thoughts, all kinds of adultery, stealing, killing, wanting things that other people have, doing very wrong things, fooling people, breaking the law, jealousy, saying wrong things about people, being proud, being foolish.

bwe@Mark:7:22 @ All these wrong things come from a persons heart and make him dirty.

bwe@Mark:7:26 @ But Jesus said to her, We will give the children all they want to eat first. It is not right to take the childrens food and give it to the little dogs.

bwe@Mark:7:27 @ She answered, Yes, Sir. But even the little dogs under the table eat food that falls from the childrens table.

bwe@Mark:8:1 @ Again at that time many, many people came together. They had nothing to eat. Jesus called his disciples. He said,

bwe@Mark:8:3 @ If I send them home hungry, they will get weak and fall on the way. Some of them have come a long way.

bwe@Mark:8:7 @ They had a few small fish. Jesus told the disciples to divide the fish among the people also.

bwe@Mark:8:34 @ Jesus called the people and the disciples to him. He said, If anyone wants to come with me he must leave what he himself wants to do. He must be ready to carry his own cross and come with me.

bwe@Mark:9:11 @ Then they asked Jesus, Why do the scribes <FI>who know all about the holy writings<Fi> say that first Elijah must come?

bwe@Mark:9:15 @ The people were all very much surprised when they saw Jesus. They ran to him and greeted him.

bwe@Mark:9:35 @ He sat down and called the twelve disciples to him. He said, The way to be first is to put yourself last and be a servant to the others.

bwe@Mark:10:4 @ They said, Moses allowed a man to write a paper to show that he does not want her any more. Then he may send her away.

bwe@Mark:10:18 @ Jesus said, Why do you call me good? Only God is good.

bwe@Mark:10:20 @ The man answered Jesus. He said, Teacher, I have kept all those laws since I was a boy.

bwe@Mark:10:28 @ Peter began to speak and said to him, See, we have left all things and have come with you.

bwe@Mark:10:42 @ Jesus called them and said, You know the people who rule over countries make their people obey them. The great will tell the others what to do.

bwe@Mark:10:44 @ Anyone among you who wants to be first shall be a servant to the others.

bwe@Mark:10:49 @ Jesus stopped and said, Call him. They called the blind man and said to him, Be glad! Come, get up! He is calling you.

bwe@Mark:11:1 @ They came to Bethphage and Bethany, near Jerusalem by the hill called Olives. Then he sent two of his disciples ahead.

bwe@Mark:11:17 @ He taught the people, saying, The holy writings say, "My house shall be called a house for all tribes and nations, where people talk with God." But you have made it a place for people who steal!

bwe@Mark:11:18 @ The chief priests and scribes heard what he said. They wanted to find some way to kill him. They feared Jesus because all the people were surprised at his teaching.

bwe@Mark:11:32 @ But what if we say, "Men gave him the right to do it"? They feared the people because they all believed that John was a prophet of God.

bwe@Mark:12:1 @ Jesus then began to speak to the disciples in stories. A man planted a farm of vines for growing fruit called grapes. He put a fence of small trees around it. He dug a place to press the juice from the fruit. He built a high house from which men could watch over the farm. Then he let some men pay to use it and went to a country far away.

bwe@Mark:12:22 @ All seven brothers married her. They all had no children. Last of all the woman died also.

bwe@Mark:12:23 @ Now then when people rise from death, whose wife will she be? All seven of them had married her.

bwe@Mark:12:26 @ People do rise from death! Have you never read what Moses wrote? It is in the place where we read about the small tree which burned. Moses tells how God said to him, "I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob."

bwe@Mark:12:28 @ One of the scribes heard them talking. He saw that Jesus gave them a good answer. Then he came and asked, Which law is the greatest law of all?

bwe@Mark:12:30 @ Love the Lord your God with all your heart. Love him with all your soul. Love him with all your mind. And love him with all your strength."

bwe@Mark:12:33 @ Love God with all your heart. Love him with all your understanding. Love him with all your strength. That is much better than to burn offerings and make sacrifices. Love your neighbour as you love yourself. That is better than any of these offerings and sacrifices.

bwe@Mark:12:37 @ So David calls Christ his Lord. How can Christ be Davids son? Most of the people were glad to hear Jesus teaching.

bwe@Mark:12:42 @ A poor woman, whose husband was dead, came. She put in two small pieces of money.

bwe@Mark:12:43 @ Jesus called his disciples. He said, I tell you the truth. This poor woman has given more money than all the other people.

bwe@Mark:12:44 @ All these people had plenty of money and they gave only a part of it. She was poor and she gave everything she had. She has nothing left to live on.

bwe@Mark:13:2 @ Jesus said, You see these big houses? I tell you, not one stone here will be left on top of another. They will all be thrown down!

bwe@Mark:13:3 @ Afterwards, he was sitting on the hill called the Mount of Olives, near the temple. Peter, James, John, and Andrew came to him alone.

bwe@Mark:13:10 @ The good news must first be told to all people.

bwe@Mark:13:13 @ All people will hate you because you are true to me. But the person who keeps on being true to me until the end will be saved.

bwe@Mark:13:23 @ Watch! I have told you all these things before they happen.

bwe@Mark:13:25 @ The stars will fall from the sky. And the powers in the sky will be shaken.

bwe@Mark:13:27 @ He will send out the angels to gather his chosen people. They will gather them from everywhere all over the earth.

bwe@Mark:13:29 @ It is the same when you see all these things. You will know that the time is very near, right at the door.

bwe@Mark:13:30 @ I tell you the truth. The people who are living then will not die before all these things happen.

bwe@Mark:13:35 @ So watch! You do not know when the master of the house will come. You do not know if he will come in the evening, or at midnight, or when the cock calls, or in the morning.

bwe@Mark:14:15 @ The man will show you a large room upstairs. It will be all fixed up and ready. Get the Passover food ready for us there.

bwe@Mark:14:23 @ He also took a cup. He thanked God for it. Then he gave it to them. They all drank some of it.

bwe@Mark:14:26 @ They sang a song and then went out to the hill called Olives.

bwe@Mark:14:27 @ Jesus said to them, All of you will leave me this night. the holy writings say, "I will kill the one who takes care of the sheep. And the sheep will run away."

bwe@Mark:14:29 @ Peter said, Even if all the others leave you, I will never leave you.

bwe@Mark:14:30 @ Jesus said, I tell you the truth. This very night, before the cock calls two times, you will say three times that you do not know me.

bwe@Mark:14:31 @ Peter said, Even if I must die with you, I will never say I do not know you! They all said the same thing.

bwe@Mark:14:32 @ Then they came to a place called Gethsemane. Jesus said to his disciples, Sit here. I will go and talk with God.

bwe@Mark:14:36 @ He said, Oh, my Father, you can do all things. Take this cup away from me. But do not do what I want, but what you want.

bwe@Mark:14:38 @ All of you must watch and talk with God so that you will not do wrong. A persons heart can want to do it, but his body is weak.

bwe@Mark:14:50 @ Then all of the disciples left Jesus and ran away.

bwe@Mark:14:53 @ The people took Jesus away to the high priest. All the chief priests, the leaders, and the scribes met there.

bwe@Mark:14:55 @ The chief priests, and all the judges of the court tried to find men to say Jesus had done something wrong so they could kill him. But they found none.

bwe@Mark:14:61 @ But Jesus said nothing at all. Then the high priest asked him, Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?

bwe@Mark:14:62 @ Jesus answered, Yes, I am. You will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the One who has all power. You will see him coming on the clouds of the sky!

bwe@Mark:14:64 @ What he has said is wrong! What do you think? They all said, He should be killed.

bwe@Mark:14:68 @ But Peter said, I do not know or understand what you are talking about. Peter went out to the gate. Then a cock called.

bwe@Mark:14:72 @ Right then the cock called a second time and Peter remembered that Jesus had said, Before the cock calls two times, you will say three times that you do not know me. Then he broke down and cried.

bwe@Mark:15:12 @ Pilate asked them, Then what shall I do with the man whom you call King of the Jews?

bwe@Mark:15:16 @ The soldiers took Jesus to a room. They called all the soldiers together.

bwe@Mark:15:34 @ About three oclock, Jesus called out loud, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? That means, My God, my God, why have you left me alone?

bwe@Mark:15:35 @ Some of the people standing there heard what Jesus said. They said, Listen, he is calling for Elijah!

bwe@Mark:15:36 @ One man ran to get something called a sponge. He made it wet with sour wine and put it on the end of a stick. With it he gave Jesus a drink. He said, We will see if Elijah will come and take him down!

bwe@Mark:15:37 @ Then Jesus called out loud. Then he died.

bwe@Mark:15:44 @ Pilate was surprised to hear that Jesus was dead already. He called the captain and asked him if Jesus was dead.

bwe@Luke:1:3 @ I have tried to find out all that has happened from the beginning. And so, Theophilus, great ruler, I myself will write you the whole story.

bwe@Luke:1:6 @ Both of them were good people as God saw them. They obeyed all the laws and the things that the Lord said they should do.

bwe@Luke:1:10 @ All the people were talking to God outside the temple at this time.

bwe@Luke:1:15 @ He will be great in the way the Lord calls people great. He must not drink wine or any strong drink. He will be filled with the Holy Spirit from the time he is born.

bwe@Luke:1:20 @ Now listen. You will be silent and not be able to talk until the day that all this has happened. This is because you did not believe what I told you. At the right time all that I said will come true.

bwe@Luke:1:32 @ He will be a great man. He will be called the Son of the Highest One <FI>a name for God<Fi>. The Lord God will make him king where his father David was king.

bwe@Luke:1:35 @ The angel answered, The Holy Spirit will come to you. The power of the Highest One will be over you. That is why the holy child who is to be born will be called the Son of God.

bwe@Luke:1:42 @ She said in a loud voice, God has made you happy and blessed you more than all other women. He has blessed your baby.

bwe@Luke:1:48 @ He has remembered his servant even though she is not a great person. From now on all people of all times will say God has blessed me.

bwe@Luke:1:49 @ He who has all power has done a big work for me. His name is holy.

bwe@Luke:1:50 @ He is kind to people of all times who respect him.

bwe@Luke:1:63 @ He asked for something to write on. He wrote, His name is John. They were all surprised.

bwe@Luke:1:65 @ Everyone who lived around there began to wonder at these things. And everywhere in the hill country of Judea, all these things were talked about.

bwe@Luke:1:66 @ All those who heard them thought much about them. They said, What will this child be some day? They said this because the power of the Lord was with him.

bwe@Luke:1:76 @ You, my child, will be called the prophet or messenger of the Highest One. You will go ahead of the Lord to make his way ready.

bwe@Luke:2:1 @ About that time, Augustus the Roman ruler made a law. All the people in the world must have their names written down in a book.

bwe@Luke:2:9 @ An angel of the Lord came to them and a bright light from the Lord shone all around them. They were very much afraid.

bwe@Luke:2:10 @ The angel said to them, Fear not! Listen, I bring you good news! This news will make you very glad. It is for all people.

bwe@Luke:2:13 @ All at once a great number of angels from heaven were with the angel. They were praising God.

bwe@Luke:2:14 @ They said, Praise God in the highest heaven! Peace on earth and loving mercy towards all people!

bwe@Luke:2:18 @ All those who heard them were surprised at what the shepherds had told them.

bwe@Luke:2:19 @ Mary remembered all these things and kept thinking about them.

bwe@Luke:2:20 @ Then the men who were taking care of the sheep went back. They praised and thanked God for all they had heard and seen. It was just as they had been told it would be.

bwe@Luke:2:31 @ You have made this way for all peoples to be saved.

bwe@Luke:2:34 @ Simeon blessed them. He said to Mary, the mother of Jesus, He will be a sign that people do not believe in. He will make many people in Israel fall and rise.

bwe@Luke:2:38 @ While Simeon was talking to Mary, Anna also came along and thanked God. She talked about Jesus to all the people who were waiting for the one who would set Jerusalem free.

bwe@Luke:2:47 @ All who heard him were surprised at what he knew and his answers.

bwe@Luke:2:51 @ He went with them back to Nazareth and obeyed them. But his mother remembered all these things.

bwe@Luke:2:52 @ Jesus grew and became wiser and taller. He pleased God and also people.

bwe@Luke:3:3 @ Then John went to all the country around the Jordan River. He told the people to stop doing wrong things, turn back to God and be baptised. And God would forgive them for the wrong things they did.

bwe@Luke:3:4 @ Isaiah, the prophet of God, wrote about him long ago in his book: A man is calling out in the desert: "Make the way ready for the Lord. Make the road straight for him.

bwe@Luke:3:5 @ Every valley will be filled. Every big hill and every small hill will be cut down flat. Crooked roads will be made into straight roads. Bad roads will be made into good roads.

bwe@Luke:3:6 @ And all people will see that God can save."

bwe@Luke:3:10 @ The people asked John, What shall we do?

bwe@Luke:3:12 @ Tax collectors also came to be baptised. They asked John, Sir, what shall we do?

bwe@Luke:3:14 @ Some soldiers also asked him, What shall we do? He answered them Do not force people. Do not tell lies about people. Do not want more pay than you get.

bwe@Luke:3:15 @ The people were waiting to see what would happen. They were all asking about John. They thought that he might be the Christ, the great king promised by God long ago.

bwe@Luke:3:16 @ John said to them all, I baptise you with water. But another person is coming. He is greater than I am. I am not good enough to untie his shoe strings. He will baptise you with the Holy spirit and with fire.

bwe@Luke:3:19 @ John told Herod the ruler that he had done wrong things. He told him he should not have his brothers wife, Herodias. He also told him about all the other wrong things he had done.

bwe@Luke:3:20 @ Later on Herod did another wrong thing after all those wrong things. He put John in prison.

bwe@Luke:3:21 @ When all the other people had been baptised, Jesus was also baptised. While he was talking with God, the sky opened.

bwe@Luke:4:5 @ The devil took Jesus to a high place where he could see all the countries of the world at one time.

bwe@Luke:4:6 @ He said to Jesus, I will give you the right to rule over all these countries. They will make you great. All this has been given to me. I can give it to anyone I want.

bwe@Luke:4:7 @ So, if you worship and give honour to me, all will be yours.

bwe@Luke:4:13 @ When the devil finished all his testing, he left him for a while.

bwe@Luke:4:14 @ Jesus had the power of the Spirit when he went back to Galilee. People talked about him in all that part of the country.

bwe@Luke:4:15 @ He taught them in their meeting houses. All the people praised him.

bwe@Luke:4:22 @ They all began to talk about him. They were surprised to hear him say such good words. They asked, Is not this Josephs son?

bwe@Luke:4:25 @ I tell you the truth. At the time of Elijah, there were many women in Israel whose husbands were dead. There was no rain for three years and six months. All over the country there was great trouble because there was no food.

bwe@Luke:4:28 @ When they heard this, all the people in the meeting house were very angry.

bwe@Luke:4:33 @ A man who had a bad spirit in him was in the meeting house. He called in a loud voice.

bwe@Luke:4:36 @ All the people were very much surprised. They said to each other, What kind of talk is this? He can make bad spirits obey him. He tells them to come out and they come out.

bwe@Luke:4:37 @ The people in all the places around Capernaum heard about him.

bwe@Luke:4:40 @ When the sun went down, the people brought to Jesus all who were sick in any way. He put his hands on every one of them and healed them.

bwe@Luke:4:41 @ The bad spirits also came out of many people. They called out, You are the Son of God! But he stopped them. He would not let them talk because they knew that he was the Christ.

bwe@Luke:5:5 @ Simon answered, Master, we worked hard all night and did not catch anything. But because you say so, I will let down the nets.

bwe@Luke:5:7 @ They called their friends in the other boat to come and help them. They came. They filled both boats with so much fish, they began to go down.

bwe@Luke:5:9 @ He was very much surprised to see how many fish they had caught. All those who were with him were surprised too.

bwe@Luke:5:26 @ The people were all surprised and they praised God. They did not know what to think. They said, We have seen things today that are hard to believe.

bwe@Luke:5:32 @ I did not come to call good people. I came to call bad people to stop doing wrong things.

bwe@Luke:6:10 @ He looked around at them all. Then he said to the man, Hold out your hand. The man did so and it was made well like the other hand.

bwe@Luke:6:12 @ About that time Jesus went out of the city on the hill to talk with God. He talked with God all night.

bwe@Luke:6:13 @ In the morning he called his disciples to him. He chose twelve of them and called them apostles <FI>special messengers<Fi>.

bwe@Luke:6:14 @ They were Simon, whom Jesus called Peter, and his brother Andrew, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew, Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon the freedom fighter, Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, the one who gave Jesus over to people who hated him.

bwe@Luke:6:17 @ Then Jesus came down the hill with them and stood on the flat ground. Many people came. There were many of his disciples. And there were many people from all parts of Judea, and from Jerusalem, and from the seaside of Tyre and Sidon. They came to hear him and to be healed because they were sick.

bwe@Luke:6:19 @ All the people wanted to touch Jesus. Power came from him and he healed them all.

bwe@Luke:6:25 @ You who have all you want now will have trouble! You will be hungry. You who laugh now will have trouble. You will be sad and cry.

bwe@Luke:6:26 @ When all the people praise you, you will have trouble! The fathers of these people did the same things to those who were not true prophets of God.

bwe@Luke:6:39 @ Jesus also told the people a story. He said, A blind man cannot lead a blind man. They will both fall into a hole.

bwe@Luke:6:41 @ Why do you look at the small piece of dust in your brothers eye? And you do not see the big stick in your own eye.

bwe@Luke:6:46 @ Why do you call me "Lord, Lord," but you do not do what I tell you?

bwe@Luke:7:1 @ Jesus finished saying all these things for the people to hear. Then he went to Capernaum.

bwe@Luke:7:17 @ The people all over Judea and all the country around it heard what Jesus had done.

bwe@Luke:7:18 @ John also heard about all these things from his disciples.

bwe@Luke:7:19 @ He called two of them and sent them to Jesus. He asked, Are you the One who is to come? Or shall we wait for another person?

bwe@Luke:7:20 @ When the men came to Jesus, they said, John the Baptizer sent us to you. He asks, "Are you the One who is to come? Or shall we wait for another person?"

bwe@Luke:7:24 @ When Johns messengers had gone away, Jesus began to talk to the people about John. He said, What did you go out into the desert to see? Did you go out to see a tall grass moving in the wind?

bwe@Luke:7:28 @ I tell you, no one has ever been born who is greater than John. And yet, the smallest one in the kingdom of God is greater than he.

bwe@Luke:7:29 @ All the people and the tax collectors praised God when they heard that. They had been baptised by John.

bwe@Luke:7:32 @ They are like children who sit in the market. They call to other children. They say, "We played music for you, but you did not dance. We cried, but you did not cry."

bwe@Luke:8:2 @ Some women were also with him. They had bad spirits and had been sick. But they had been healed. One was Mary, called Magdalene. Seven bad spirits had gone out of her.

bwe@Luke:8:8 @ But some seed fell on good ground and it grew well. Those plants gave a hundred times as much grain as the man sowed. When Jesus had said this, he called out, Everyone who has ears to hear, listen!

bwe@Luke:8:24 @ The disciples came to Jesus and woke him. They shouted, Master! Master! We will die! Jesus woke and said to the wind and the water, Stop! They stopped. Then all was quiet

bwe@Luke:8:28 @ When he saw Jesus, he screamed loudly and bowed down in front of him. He called out loud, Jesus, Son of the Highest One! What do you want to do to me? I beg you, do not hurt me.

bwe@Luke:8:37 @ All the people in the country around the Gadarenes asked Jesus to go away from them to some other place. They were very much afraid. So Jesus got into a boat and went back.

bwe@Luke:8:39 @ He said, Go home and tell the people what God has done for you. So the man went away and told the people all through the town what Jesus had done for him.

bwe@Luke:8:40 @ When Jesus came back, the people were very glad to see him. They were all waiting for him.

bwe@Luke:8:43 @ A woman among them had a sickness for twelve years. She was bleeding all the time. She had given all her money to the doctors, but no one had been able to heal her.

bwe@Luke:8:45 @ Jesus said, Who touched me? Everyone said, Not I! Peter said, Master, the people are all around you and push you.

bwe@Luke:8:47 @ The woman saw that he knew about her. So she came trembling and bowed down in front of him. She told him in front of all the people why she had touched him. She told him that she had been healed right away.

bwe@Luke:8:52 @ All the people were crying and making a lot of noise because she had died. But he said, Do not cry. She is not dead, but sleeping.

bwe@Luke:8:54 @ He took her hand and called out, Little girl, get up.

bwe@Luke:9:1 @ Jesus called his twelve disciples together. He gave them power over all the bad spirits, and power to heal sick people.

bwe@Luke:9:7 @ Herod the ruler heard about all that was happening. He did not know what to think. Some people said John the Baptizer had risen from death.

bwe@Luke:9:10 @ When the apostles came back, they told Jesus all they had done. He took them away with him and they went by themselves to a town called Bethsaida.

bwe@Luke:9:13 @ But Jesus said to them, You give them food to eat. They said, All we have is five loaves of bread and two fish. Shall we go and buy food for all these people?

bwe@Luke:9:15 @ They did what he said, and they made all the people sit down.

bwe@Luke:9:17 @ They all ate and had enough. They picked up twelve baskets full of pieces that were left.

bwe@Luke:9:23 @ And He said to all the people, If anyone wants to come with me, he must leave what he himself wants to do. Every day he must take up his cross <FI>be ready to die<Fi> and come with me.

bwe@Luke:9:38 @ One man among them called out, Teacher, I beg you, look at my son. He is my only child.

bwe@Luke:9:43 @ All the people were surprised to see that God has so much power. While the people were wondering about everything Jesus did, he talked to his disciples.

bwe@Luke:10:18 @ Jesus said to them, I saw Satan fall from the sky like lightning.

bwe@Luke:10:19 @ I have given you power over all the power of the enemy. Nothing will hurt you.

bwe@Luke:10:27 @ The man answered, You must love the Lord your God with all your heart. Love him with all your soul. Love him with all your power, and love him with all your mind. And you must love your neighbour as you love yourself.

bwe@Luke:10:29 @ But the man wanted to prove that he was all right. So he said to Jesus, Who is my neighbour?

bwe@Luke:10:40 @ But Martha was very busy doing many things for Jesus. She came to Jesus and said, Lord, my sister has left me to do all the work. Do you not care? Tell her to come and help me.

bwe@Luke:11:25 @ When he comes back, he finds it clean and all fixed up.

bwe@Luke:11:27 @ As he said this, a woman among the people called out, Happy is your mother who gave birth to you, and fed you as a baby.

bwe@Luke:11:34 @ Your body gets its light through your eyes. When you have good eyes, all your body has light. But when your eyes are bad, your body is in darkness.

bwe@Luke:11:36 @ If no part of your body is dark, it will all be light. It will be like a lamp that shines to give you light.

bwe@Luke:11:42 @ You Pharisees will have trouble! You give to God a tenth part of small garden plants. But you do not judge in the right way. And you do not love God. You should do these things and the other things too.

bwe@Luke:11:50 @ So the people who are living now will be punished for all the blood of the prophets of God that is on the ground since the world was made.

bwe@Luke:11:51 @ I mean all the blood from the time of Abel to the time of Zechariah. (He was killed between the holy table and the temple.) Yes, I tell you. The people who are living now will be punished for all of it.

bwe@Luke:12:17 @ He said to himself, "What will I do? I have no place to keep all the food I have grown."

bwe@Luke:12:18 @ So he said, "This is what I will do. I will break down my storehouses and build bigger ones. I will keep in them all the food and everything I have.

bwe@Luke:12:20 @ But God said to him, "You are a fool! Tonight you will die. Then who will have all the things you have kept for yourself?"

bwe@Luke:12:26 @ If you cannot do a small thing like that, why do you trouble yourself about the other things?

bwe@Luke:12:29 @ Do not keep asking, "What shall we eat?" and, "What shall we drink?" Do not be troubled about that.

bwe@Luke:12:30 @ All the people who are not Jews work for these things. Your Father in heaven knows that you need them.

bwe@Luke:12:31 @ But work for Gods kingdom. Then you will have all these things also.

bwe@Luke:12:41 @ Peter said, Lord, are you telling this story for us or for all the people?

bwe@Luke:12:44 @ I tell you the truth. His master will put him in charge of all that he has

bwe@Luke:12:50 @ I will be going through a big trouble, and I feel like a prisoner until it is all over.

bwe@Luke:13:2 @ Jesus answered, Do you think it was because they were worse than all the other people in Galilee?

bwe@Luke:13:3 @ I tell you, "No!" But if you do not stop doing wrong things, then you will all die as they did.

bwe@Luke:13:4 @ Eighteen men died when the high house in Siloam fell on them. Do you think they were worse than all the other men who lived in Jerusalem?

bwe@Luke:13:5 @ I tell you, "No!" But if you do not stop doing wrong things, you will all die as they did.

bwe@Luke:13:11 @ A woman was there who had a spirit that had made her sick for eighteen years. She had to bend down all the time and could not stand up straight.

bwe@Luke:13:12 @ Jesus saw her and called her to come to him. Then he said, Woman, you are healed. You are not sick any longer.

bwe@Luke:13:17 @ When he said that, all those who had talked against him were ashamed. All the other people were very glad for all the wonderful things Jesus did.

bwe@Luke:13:18 @ He went on to say, What is the kingdom of God like? What shall I say it is like?

bwe@Luke:13:21 @ It is like this. A woman took yeast and mixed it with many cups of flour. The yeast went all through the flour.

bwe@Luke:13:24 @ Jesus answered, Try hard to go in by the small gate. I tell you, many will want to go in but they will not be able.

bwe@Luke:13:25 @ The master of the house will get up and lock the door. Then you will be standing outside. You will begin to knock on the door and call, "Sir, open the door for us!" But he will answer, "I do not know where you belong."

bwe@Luke:13:27 @ But he will say, "I tell you, I do not know where you belong. Go away from me all you who do wrong! "

bwe@Luke:13:28 @ You will see Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets in the kingdom of God. And you will see yourselves thrown out. Then you will cry and make a noise with your teeth.

bwe@Luke:14:5 @ Jesus said to them, If your horse or cow falls into a hole, which one of you will not pull him out right away on the Sabbath day?

bwe@Luke:14:8 @ He said to them, When you are called to a wedding, do not sit in the best place. It may be that a better man than you has been called.

bwe@Luke:14:9 @ Then the man who called you both will come and say to you, "Get up and let this man sit here." Then you will be ashamed. And you will go and sit down in the last place.

bwe@Luke:14:10 @ But when you are asked to go to a wedding, go and sit down in the last place. Then when the man who called you comes, he will say to you, "Friend, come to a better place." Then all the people who sit at the table will see how he respects you.

bwe@Luke:14:14 @ You will be made happy because they cannot pay you. You will be repaid when all good people are raised from death.

bwe@Luke:14:18 @ But the people all began to make excuses. The first one said, I have bought a farm. I must go and see it. I beg you, excuse me from the feast."

bwe@Luke:14:21 @ The servant came and told his master. Then the master was very angry. He said to his servant, "Go out quickly. Go on all the streets in the city. Bring here people who are poor, hurt, blind, or lame."

bwe@Luke:14:24 @ I tell you, not one of the men who were called first will eat any of my feast.

bwe@Luke:14:29 @ If you do not have enough money, you will not be able to finish it after you have made the foundation. Then all the people who see it will laugh at you.

bwe@Luke:14:33 @ In the same way, any one of you who does not give up all he has cannot be my disciple.

bwe@Luke:15:1 @ The tax collectors and bad people all came close to Jesus to hear him.

bwe@Luke:15:6 @ When he comes home, he calls his friends and neighbours to come. He says, "Be glad with me! I have found my lost sheep."

bwe@Luke:15:9 @ When she has found it, she calls her friends and neighbours to come. She says, "Be glad with me! I have found the piece of money I lost."

bwe@Luke:15:12 @ The younger son said to his father, "Father, give me my part of what will belong to me." So his father divided all he had between the two sons.

bwe@Luke:15:19 @ I am not good enough now to be called your son. Let me be like one of these men who work for you."

bwe@Luke:15:21 @ The son said to him, "Father, I have been a bad son. I have done wrong to God in heaven and to you. I am not good enough now to be called your son. Let me be like one of these men who work for you."

bwe@Luke:15:26 @ He called one of the servants and said, "What is going on?"

bwe@Luke:15:30 @ But now this son of yours has come back. He has spent all your money and was with bad women. And yet you kill the fat calf for him!"

bwe@Luke:15:31 @ The father said, "Son you have always been with me. And all that I have is yours.

bwe@Luke:16:2 @ he called the manager and asked him, "What is this I hear about you? Tell me what you have done. You cannot be my manager any more."

bwe@Luke:16:5 @ So he called to him everyone who owed his master something. He asked the first man, "How much do you owe my master?"

bwe@Luke:16:14 @ The Pharisees loved money. They heard all these things. They made fun of him.

bwe@Luke:16:15 @ He said to them, You try to make men think you are all right. But God knows your hearts. What men think is fine, God hates.

bwe@Luke:16:17 @ It would be easier to take away the sky and the earth than for the smallest part of the law to fall.

bwe@Luke:16:24 @ He called out, "Father Abraham, help me! Send Lazarus to dip his finger in some water and cool my tongue. This fire is very hot for me."

bwe@Luke:16:26 @ But that is not all. A wide hole is between you and us. No one can go from here to you if he wanted to. And no one can come from where you are to us."

bwe@Luke:17:10 @ It is the same with you. When you have done all you were told to do, you should say, "We are servants. We have not done a big thing. We have only done what we should do."

bwe@Luke:17:13 @ And they called out, Jesus, Master, help us!

bwe@Luke:17:27 @ People ate and drank. They married and gave their daughters to be married. All this went on until the day when Noah went into his house built on a boat. Then there was much water and all the people outside the boat died.

bwe@Luke:17:29 @ Then one day Lot went out of the city of Sodom. Then on that day fire and burning rock came down from the sky and killed all the people.

bwe@Luke:18:7 @ When the people whom God has chosen call to him day and night, he will save them from their enemies. He may let them wait a time.

bwe@Luke:18:12 @ Two times in the week I do not eat-I fast. I give away one tenth part of all I get."

bwe@Luke:18:15 @ People brought even small children to Jesus. They wanted him to put his hands on them. When the disciples saw it, they tried to stop the people.

bwe@Luke:18:16 @ But Jesus called them to him and said, Let the children come to me. Do not try to stop them. The kingdom of God belongs to people like them.

bwe@Luke:18:19 @ Jesus answered him, Why do you call me good? Only one is good, and that is God.

bwe@Luke:18:21 @ The man said, I have kept all these laws since I was a boy.

bwe@Luke:18:28 @ Peter said, See, we have left all things and have come with you.

bwe@Luke:18:43 @ Right then he was able to see. He went with Jesus and he praised God. All the people saw it and they all praised God too.

bwe@Luke:19:7 @ When all the people saw this, they did not like it. They said, He has gone to visit a bad man.

bwe@Luke:19:8 @ Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, Look, Lord, I will give to the poor people half of all I have. And if I have cheated anyone, I will give him back four times as much as I took.

bwe@Luke:19:13 @ Before he left, he called ten of his servants. He gave each of them some money. He said, "Go and trade with this money until I come back."

bwe@Luke:19:15 @ But he was given the power to rule and came back. Then he called the servants to whom he had given the money. He wanted to know how much money each one had made by trading.

bwe@Luke:19:17 @ The ruler said, "You have done well. You are a good servant. You will rule over ten cities because you have done well with a very small thing."

bwe@Luke:19:29 @ He came near Bethphage and Bethany by the hill called the Mount of Olives. Then he sent two of his disciples ahead.

bwe@Luke:19:37 @ He came near the top of the hill called the Mount of Olives. Then all the people who believed in him began to be happy. They sang out loudly, and praised God in a loud voice for all the big works they had seen.

bwe@Luke:19:40 @ Jesus answered, I tell you, if they do not speak like this the stones will call out.

bwe@Luke:19:43 @ The time will come when the people who hate you will put a wall all around you. They will shut you up and keep you in on every side.

bwe@Luke:19:46 @ He said to them, It is written, "My house shall be a place where people talk with God." But you have made it a place for people who steal!

bwe@Luke:19:48 @ But they did not find any way they could do it. All the people stayed around to hear what Jesus said.

bwe@Luke:20:13 @ Then the man who owned the farm said, "What shall I do? I will send my dear son. Maybe they will respect him."

bwe@Luke:20:18 @ Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces. But if that stone falls on anyone, it will crush him.

bwe@Luke:20:31 @ Then the third one married her. All seven brothers married her. They all had no children and they died.

bwe@Luke:20:32 @ Last of all, the woman died also.

bwe@Luke:20:33 @ Now then, when people rise from death, whose wife will she be? All seven of them had married her.

bwe@Luke:20:37 @ Even Moses showed that people do rise from death. It is in his book where we read about the small tree which burned. Moses says that the Lord is the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.

bwe@Luke:20:38 @ He is not the God of dead people, but of living people. All people are alive to him.

bwe@Luke:20:44 @ So David calls Christ his Lord. How can Christ be Davids son?

bwe@Luke:20:45 @ Then Jesus talked to his disciples while all the people could hear him.

bwe@Luke:21:2 @ And he saw a poor woman whose husband was dead. She put in two small pieces of money.

bwe@Luke:21:3 @ Jesus said, I tell you the truth. This poor woman has given more than all the other people.

bwe@Luke:21:4 @ All these people had plenty of money and they gave only a part of it. She was poor and she gave everything she had. She has nothing left to live on.

bwe@Luke:21:6 @ Jesus said, You see these things. Not one stone here will be left on top of another. They will all be thrown down!

bwe@Luke:21:12 @ But before all these things happen, people will catch you and trouble you. They will take you to the meeting houses to be judged. They will put you in prison. They will take you to kings and rulers because you are true to me.

bwe@Luke:21:15 @ I will give you words and sense. All those who are against you will not be able to answer your words or say they are not true.

bwe@Luke:21:17 @ All people will hate you because you are true to me.

bwe@Luke:21:20 @ When you see soldiers all around Jerusalem, then you will know that it will soon be broken down.

bwe@Luke:21:22 @ Those will be days of punishment. All that has been written in the holy writings must happen.

bwe@Luke:21:24 @ They will be killed by swords or long knives. They will be taken away as prisoners to every country. Jerusalem will be broken down by people who are not Jews. They will walk over it until the end of their allowed time.

bwe@Luke:21:29 @ Jesus told them a story. He said, Look at a fig tree. Look at all the trees.

bwe@Luke:21:31 @ It is the same way when you see all these things happening. You will know that the kingdom of God is near.

bwe@Luke:21:32 @ I tell you the truth. People who are living then will not die before all these things happen.

bwe@Luke:21:35 @ That day will come to all people who are living on the whole earth.

bwe@Luke:21:36 @ Watch all the time. Ask God to make you strong to do right so that you will not go through all these things that are going to happen. Ask him to make you able to stand in front of the Son of Man.

bwe@Luke:21:37 @ Jesus taught in the temple every day. But at night he went out and stayed on the hill called the Mount of Olives.

bwe@Luke:21:38 @ Early in the morning all the people came to hear him in the temple.

bwe@Luke:22:1 @ It was near the time for the feast with bread that has no yeast in it. This is called the Passover Feast.

bwe@Luke:22:12 @ He will show you a large room upstairs. It will be all fixed up. Make it ready there.

bwe@Luke:22:17 @ He took the cup and thanked God. He said, Take this. All of you drink from this.

bwe@Luke:22:31 @ Simon, Simon, listen! Satan has asked to have all of you. He wants to shake you like grain with the cleaning fan.

bwe@Luke:22:34 @ Jesus said, I tell you this, Peter. This very day, before the cock calls, you will say three times that you do not know me.

bwe@Luke:22:39 @ Then Jesus went out of the room and went to the hill called the Mount of Olives where he often went. His disciples went with him.

bwe@Luke:22:44 @ His heart was troubled very much. So he talked with God more than before. His sweat was like big drops of blood falling on the ground.

bwe@Luke:22:49 @ The disciples around Jesus saw what was going to happen. They said, Lord, shall we fight with our swords?

bwe@Luke:22:60 @ Peter said, Man, I do not know what you are talking about. And right then, while he was talking, the cock called.

bwe@Luke:22:61 @ The Lord turned and looked at Peter. Then Peter remembered that the Lord had said to him, Before the cock calls in the morning, you will say three times that you do not know me.

bwe@Luke:22:69 @ From this time on the Son of Man will sit beside God who has all power.

bwe@Luke:22:70 @ They all said, Then are you the Son of God?" He said, Yes, I am.

bwe@Luke:23:1 @ Then all the people got up and took Jesus to Pilate.

bwe@Luke:23:5 @ But they said all the more, He troubles the people by his teaching. He has been teaching people in all the country of Judea. He began in Galilee and has come as far as this city.

bwe@Luke:23:13 @ Pilate then called the chief priests, and the rulers, and the people.

bwe@Luke:23:18 @ But they all shouted, Kill this man! Let Barabbas go free for us!

bwe@Luke:23:23 @ But they shouted all the more loudly, saying, Nail him to a cross! And Pilate gave in to their shouting.

bwe@Luke:23:30 @ Then people will begin to say to the big hills, "Fall on us." They will say to the small hills, "Hide us."

bwe@Luke:23:33 @ They came to the place called Calvary (the head bone.) There they nailed the two bad men to the crosses also. They put one man on the right side of Jesus and one man on the left side of him.

bwe@Luke:23:46 @ Jesus called out loud, Father, I put my spirit into your hands! When he had said this, he died.

bwe@Luke:23:47 @ The captain saw all this. Then he praised God. He said, Surely, this was a good man!

bwe@Luke:23:48 @ Many people were around there to look on. When they saw what happened, they all went home beating their chests <FI>because they were sad<Fi>.

bwe@Luke:23:49 @ All Jesus friends and the women who had come with him from Galilee stood far away. They saw all of this.

bwe@Luke:23:51 @ He had not wanted the people to do what they did. He was looking for the kingdom of God. He was from a town of the Jews, called Arimathea.

bwe@Luke:24:9 @ They left the grave and went back. They told all these things to the eleven disciples and to all the other people.

bwe@Luke:24:12 @ That same day, two of the disciples were going to the town called Emmaus. It was about two hours walk from Jerusalem.

bwe@Luke:24:13 @ They were talking together about all the things that had happened.

bwe@Luke:24:18 @ Jesus said, What things?" They said, All that has happened to Jesus of Nazareth. He was a prophet of God. He had power to do big works and to teach the people. He was respected by God and all the people.

bwe@Luke:24:20 @ But we were hoping that he was the one who would free the people of Israel. But that is not all. This is the third day since they did it.

bwe@Luke:24:24 @ Then he said to them, You foolish men! Your hearts are slow to believe all that the prophets of God have said long ago.

bwe@Luke:24:26 @ Then he told them the meaning of all that Moses and all the prophets of God long ago had written about him.

bwe@Luke:24:33 @ These people said, The Lord has really risen! He came to Simon!

bwe@Luke:24:41 @ Then he said, I told you this while I was with you. I told you that things were written about me in the books of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms. And I told you that all of these things must come true.

bwe@Luke:24:44 @ Men will talk in his name to people in all countries. They will tell them to stop their wrong ways and ask to be forgiven. They will begin in Jerusalem.

bwe@John:1:7 @ He came to talk about the Light, so that all people might believe in the Light by what he said.

bwe@John:1:12 @ But there were people who did believe in his name. They did receive him. He gave all those who received him and believed him the right to become children of God.

bwe@John:1:15 @ John talked about him. He called out saying, Here is the man I told you about. I said that the one who is coming after me is greater than I am, because he lived before I lived.

bwe@John:1:16 @ He was full of loving kindness, and we have all received so much kindness from him.

bwe@John:1:23 @ John said, I am a voice calling in the desert, "Make the road straight for the Lord." This is what was said by Isaiah, the prophet of God long ago.

bwe@John:1:48 @ Nathanael asked, How do you know me? Jesus answered, I saw you when you were under the fig tree. That was before Philip called you.

bwe@John:2:5 @ His mother said to the servants, Do all that he tells you to do.

bwe@John:2:9 @ The man in charge of the feast tasted the water that was now turned into wine. He did not know where it came from, but the servants who drew the water knew. When the man had tasted it, he called the man who was being married.

bwe@John:2:10 @ He said, Other people give the good wine at the beginning of the feast. When people have had all they want, then they give the wine which is not so good. But you have kept the good wine until now.

bwe@John:2:12 @ After this he went to the town called Capernaum. His mother, his brothers, and his disciples also went with him. They stayed there for a few days.

bwe@John:2:15 @ Jesus tied some pieces of cord together to make a whip. Then he drove out all the people who were buying and selling in the temple. And he drove out the sheep and the cows. He threw down the tables of the money changers and their money.

bwe@John:2:25 @ He knew what all people are like. He did not need anyone to tell him about any person, because he knew what was in a persons heart.

bwe@John:3:26 @ They came to John and said, Teacher, there was a man with you on the other side of the Jordan River. You were telling people about him. Now he himself is baptizing and all the people are going to him.

bwe@John:3:31 @ The one who comes from heaven is greater than all other people. The one who is of the earth talks about things on earth. So the one who comes from heaven is greater than all.

bwe@John:4:4 @ He came to a town in Samaria called Sychar. It was near the field that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

bwe@John:4:15 @ Jesus said, Go, call your husband, then come here.

bwe@John:4:44 @ When he came to Galilee, the people of that country were glad to see him. They had seen all the things he did when he was at the feast in Jerusalem. They had been at the feast also.

bwe@John:4:52 @ The father knew that was the time when Jesus said to him Your son will not die. So he and all his family believed in Jesus.

bwe@John:5:2 @ In Jerusalem, near the Sheep Gate, there is a wide water hole. The Jews called this water hole Bethesda. It had five places with roofs for people to stand under.

bwe@John:5:3 @ Many sick people were lying on these places. Some of them were blind. Some were lame. Some were very thin and stiff so that they could not move by themselves. All of them were waiting for the water to move.

bwe@John:5:18 @ This was why the leaders of the Jews tried much more to kill Jesus. He had broken the law of the Sabbath day. And also he called God his Father. In that way, he was making himself equal with God.

bwe@John:5:20 @ My Father loves his Son. He shows him all that he himself is doing. He will show his Son bigger works than these so that you may be surprised.

bwe@John:5:23 @ He did this so that all people would respect the Son, just as they respect his Father. My Father has sent his Son. Anyone who does not respect his Son does not respect the Father.

bwe@John:5:28 @ Do not be surprised at what I say. The time is coming when all who are in the graves will hear his voice.

bwe@John:5:41 @ I do not want people to call me great.

bwe@John:5:44 @ How can you believe? You are always calling each other great, but you do not want the only God to make you great.

bwe@John:5:46 @ If you really believed Moses, you would believe me too, because he wrote about me.

bwe@John:6:5 @ When Jesus looked up, he saw many people coming to him. He said to Philip, Where shall we buy food for these people to eat?

bwe@John:6:9 @ He said, A boy here has five loaves of bread and two small fish. But what can that little bit of food do for so many people?

bwe@John:6:11 @ Then Jesus took the bread and thanked God for it. He gave it to the disciples and they divided it among those who were sitting. He did the same thing with the fish. The people had all they wanted.

bwe@John:6:12 @ When they had eaten enough, he said to his disciples, Gather up all the pieces that are left so that nothing will be lost.

bwe@John:6:13 @ They gathered all the pieces of the five loaves. Twelve baskets full were left over after all the people had eaten enough.

bwe@John:6:16 @ In the evening his disciples went down to the lake <FI>called the sea of Galilee<Fi>.

bwe@John:6:26 @ Jesus said, I tell you the truth. You do not want me because you saw the big works I did, but you want me because you ate all the bread you wanted.

bwe@John:6:37 @ All those whom my Father gives me, they will come to me. I will never turn anyone away who comes to me.

bwe@John:6:45 @ The prophets wrote, "God will teach all people." So then, every person who listens to his words and learns what he says, he will come to me.

bwe@John:6:68 @ Simon Peter answered, Lord, to whom shall we go? It is you who has told us how we may live for ever.

bwe@John:7:21 @ Jesus answered them, I have done one thing. You are all surprised about it.

bwe@John:7:26 @ See, he does not fear to speak and yet they say nothing to him! Do the rulers really know that this man is the Christ?

bwe@John:7:41 @ Other people said, This is the Christ. But some said, The Christ will not come from Galilee. Shall Christ come out of Galilee?

bwe@John:7:43 @ The people did not all say the same thing about him.

bwe@John:8:1 @ Then Jesus went to the hill called the Mount of Olives.

bwe@John:8:2 @ Early the next morning he came again to the temple. All the people came to him. He sat down and taught them.

bwe@John:8:41 @ You are doing your fathers work. Then they said to him, We were not born of an unmarried woman. God is the Father of us all.

bwe@John:8:44 @ The bad spirit, the devil, is your real father. You gladly do the wrong things he wants you to do. From the beginning he killed people. He has nothing to do with what is true. His way is to tell lies. He himself is a liar and all lying comes from him.

bwe@John:9:7 @ And he said, Go. wash your eyes in that water hole called Siloam. (Siloam means Sent.) The man went and washed his eyes. After that, he was able to see.

bwe@John:9:18 @ But the leaders of the Jews did not really believe what they heard about the man. They did not believe that first he had been blind and now was able to see. So they called the parents of the man who could now see.

bwe@John:9:24 @ Then again they called the man who had been blind. They said to him, You must praise God for this. We know that the man who healed you is a bad man.

bwe@John:10:1 @ Then Jesus went on to say, I tell you the truth. A person must get to the sheep through the door. Anyone who climbs over the wall to get in is a bad man and steals things. He has come to steal the sheep.

bwe@John:10:3 @ The guard will open the door for him. The sheep will listen to him. He calls his own sheep by their names and leads them out.

bwe@John:10:4 @ When all his own sheep are out of the house, he goes ahead of them. The sheep come behind him because they know his voice.

bwe@John:10:8 @ All those who came before me are bad people and steal things. They came to steal the sheep. But the sheep did not listen to them.

bwe@John:10:11 @ I am the good shepherd. I am the one who really cares for the sheep. The good shepherd is willing to die to save his sheep.

bwe@John:10:12 @ Some people work for pay. The one who does that is not the one who really cares. The sheep do not belong to him. When he sees a bad animal coming, he will leave the sheep and run away. He will let the animal take the sheep and make the sheep run away.

bwe@John:10:14 @ I am the good shepherd, the one who really cares for the sheep. I know my sheep and my sheep know me.

bwe@John:10:16 @ I have some other sheep which are not with these sheep. I must bring them also. They will listen to my voice. Then all the sheep will be together and there will be one person who cares for all of them.

bwe@John:10:19 @ The Jews did not all say the same thing because of what Jesus said.

bwe@John:10:23 @ Jesus was walking in that part of the temple called Solomons resting place.

bwe@John:10:24 @ The Jews came around Jesus and said, How long will you keep us wondering about this matter? If you are really the Christ, then tell us plainly.

bwe@John:10:36 @ Nothing can change the words in the holy writings. It is written that God spoke to men and that he called them gods. So he called some men gods. Then why do you say I do not respect God when I say that I am the Son of God? I am the one God chose and sent into the world.

bwe@John:11:9 @ Jesus answered them, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If a person walks in the daylight, then he will not fall. He can see by the light that is in the world.

bwe@John:11:10 @ But if a person walks at night, he will fall because there is no light for him to see.

bwe@John:11:15 @ For your sake I am glad that I was not there. You will really believe in me. But come, let us go to him.

bwe@John:11:16 @ Then Thomas, who was called the Twin, said to the other disciples, Let us all go and die with Jesus.

bwe@John:11:28 @ When she had said this, she went back to call her sister. She said quietly, Mary, the Master has come. He is calling you.

bwe@John:11:44 @ Out came the dead man! The cloth that they had buried him in was tied around his hands and feet. Another small cloth was tied around his face. Jesus said to the people, Take off the cloths and free him!

bwe@John:11:52 @ Jesus would die, not only for those people, but he would gather together all of Gods people who are out in different places.

bwe@John:11:54 @ That is why Jesus did not go among the Jews in the open. But he went to another part of the country, to a town called Ephraim. He stayed there with his disciples.

bwe@John:11:55 @ The time for the Passover Feast of the Jews was near. Many people from all around the country went to Jerusalem. They had to make themselves clean according to the law before the Passover Feast.

bwe@John:12:3 @ Mary had a jar of oil. It smelled very nice and cost much money. She put some of it on Jesus feet. Then she wiped his feet with her hair. The smell of oil went all through the house.

bwe@John:12:17 @ Many people were with Jesus when he called Lazarus out of the grave and raised him from death. They had talked about what he did.

bwe@John:12:27 @ Now my heart is very sad. Shall I say, "Father, save me from this time of trouble"? No, I have come to this time just so that I might go through it.

bwe@John:12:32 @ And as for me, if they lift me up from the earth, I will draw all people to me.

bwe@John:12:44 @ Jesus called out, Anyone who believes in me does not believe just in me, but in the one who sent me.

bwe@John:13:10 @ Jesus said, A person who has bathed himself needs to wash his feet only. He is all clean. You are clean, but not all of you.

bwe@John:13:11 @ Jesus knew who was going to give him over to people who hated him. That is why he said, You are not all clean.

bwe@John:13:13 @ You call me Master and Lord. What you say is right. I am your Master and Lord.

bwe@John:13:18 @ I am not talking about all of you but I know the people I have chosen. So Gods word comes true. The holy writings say, "He who is eating my bread has turned against me."

bwe@John:13:35 @ This is how all people will know that you are my disciples.

bwe@John:13:38 @ Jesus answered him, Will you die for me? I tell you the truth. Before the cock calls, you will say three times that you do not know me.

bwe@John:14:9 @ Jesus said to him, Philip, you mean to say that I have been with you all this time and yet you do not know me? The person who has seen me has seen my Father also. Why do you say, "Show us your Father"?

bwe@John:14:21 @ He who knows the things I tell him to do and does them, really loves me. My Father will love him and I also will love him. I will show him who I am.

bwe@John:14:26 @ But the Holy Spirit is the one who will help you. My Father will send him in my name. He will teach you everything that I have said to you. His Helper will remind you of all that I said.

bwe@John:14:28 @ You heard me say, "I am going away and then I will come back to you." If you really loved me, then you would have been very glad that I am going to my Father. My Father is greater than I am.

bwe@John:15:15 @ I do not call you servants anymore, for the servant does not know what his master is doing. But I have called you friends because you know everything that my Father has told me.

bwe@John:15:21 @ They will do all these things to you because you are true to me. They do not know the one who sent me.

bwe@John:16:4 @ I have told you all these things now. Then when that time comes, you will remember that I told you about them. I did not tell you these things in the beginning because I myself was with you.

bwe@John:16:8 @ When the Helper comes, he will prove this to the people of the world that they are wrong. They are wrong about what they call bad and about what they call good. He will show them how to be right with God. He will show them about Gods judgement.

bwe@John:16:10 @ He will show what really is right, because I am going to my Father and you will not see me any more.

bwe@John:16:31 @ Jesus answered them, Do you really believe now?

bwe@John:17:2 @ You have given your Son power over all people. So all those you have given him will live for ever.

bwe@John:17:6 @ I have shown these men who you really are. They are men whom you gave me from the world. They belonged to you and you gave them to me. They have obeyed you.

bwe@John:17:7 @ Now they really know that everything you gave me comes from you.

bwe@John:17:10 @ All those I have are yours. And all you have are mine. And they make my name great.

bwe@John:17:21 @ I do this so that the people will all be one. That is the same way with us. You, my Father, belong to me and I belong to you. I ask that they also may be joined to us. Then the world will believe that you have sent me.

bwe@John:17:23 @ I belong to them and you belong to me, so that they all may be really one together. Then the world will know that you have sent me and that you have loved them just as you have loved me.

bwe@John:18:1 @ When Jesus had finished saying this, he and his disciples went through the valley called Kidron. There was a garden with trees. He and his disciples went into the garden.

bwe@John:18:6 @ When Jesus said to them, I am he, they all drew back suddenly and fell down.

bwe@John:18:18 @ It was cold there. The servants and the officers had made a small fire. They stood by it and warmed themselves. Peter stood by the fire also and warmed himself.

bwe@John:18:27 @ Again Peter said, No! And just then a cock called out.

bwe@John:18:31 @ Pilate said, Take him and judge him by your own law. The leaders of the Jews said, But we are not allowed to kill anyone.

bwe@John:18:33 @ Then Pilate went back into the court house again. He called for Jesus and asked him, Are you the King of the Jews?

bwe@John:18:37 @ So Pilate said, So you really are a king then? Jesus answered, You say that I am a king. The reason that I was born was that I should tell what is true. That is why I came into the world. Everyone who likes what is true listens to what I say.

bwe@John:18:40 @ Then they all shouted again, Not this man, but Barabbas! Barabbas was a man who had stolen things.

bwe@John:19:7 @ The leaders of the Jews answered him, We have a law. That law says he should die, because he calls himself the Son of God. When Pilate heard what they said, he was very much afraid.

bwe@John:19:13 @ When Pilate heard this, he brought Jesus out. Then Pilate sat on the bench where the judge sits. The place was called the Street of Stone. The Jews called it Gabbatha.

bwe@John:19:15 @ But they shouted, Take him away! Take him away! Nail him to a cross! Pilate said to them, Shall I nail your King to a cross? The chief priests answered, Caesar is the only king we have.

bwe@John:19:17 @ They took Jesus and led him away. Jesus went out carrying his own cross. They went to a place which the Jews called Golgotha. That means the place of the skull bone.

bwe@John:19:23 @ When the soldiers had nailed Jesus to the cross, they took his clothes. They divided them into four parts and gave each soldier one part. Then they took his coat. It was not sewn together but the cloth was all made in one piece from the top to the bottom.

bwe@John:19:29 @ A bowl of bad wine was there. They took something called a sponge and made it wet with the wine. Then they put it on a stick and put it to Jesus mouth.

bwe@John:19:36 @ What the holy writings say came true. They say, Not one of his bones shall be broken.

bwe@John:19:37 @ They also say, They shall look at the one into whom they stuck the spear.

bwe@John:19:38 @ A man named Joseph, from the town of Arimathea, was a disciple of Jesus. But he did not say so because he was afraid of the leaders of the Jews. After all this had happened, he went to Pilate. He asked him to let him take Jesus body away. Pilate let him. So he came and took his body.

bwe@John:19:39 @ Nicodemus also came. He was the one who had come to Jesus at night. He brought with him a heavy bag of sweet-smelling spices called myrrh and aloes. It was mixed together.

bwe@John:20:7 @ He also saw the small cloth that had been wrapped around Jesus head. It was not with the other cloths, but it was folded together by itself in another place.

bwe@John:20:24 @ Thomas, one of the twelve disciples, was called the Twin. He was not with them when Jesus came.

bwe@John:21:2 @ Some of the disciples were in one place. They were Simon Peter, Thomas called the Twin, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples of Jesus.

bwe@John:21:8 @ The other disciples came in a small boat. They were pulling the net. It was full of fish. They were not far from the land, only about a hundred yards.

bwe@John:21:9 @ When they came to the land, they saw a small fire. Fish and some bread lay on the fire.

bwe@John:21:12 @ Jesus said to them, Come and eat. The disciples were all afraid to ask him, Who are you? They knew it was the Lord.

bwe@John:21:25 @ Jesus did many other things also. If every one were written down, I think that the world would be too small to hold all the books that would need to be written. Yes, it is so!

bwe@Acts:1:1 @ Theophilus, in the first book I wrote to you, I wrote about all the things Jesus began to do and to teach.

bwe@Acts:1:8 @ But when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, you will receive power. You will speak of me in Jerusalem and all around in Judea and Samaria and everywhere in the world.

bwe@Acts:1:12 @ Then they left the hill called the Mount of Olives. They went back to Jerusalem which was not far away. (It was how far the law said people may walk on the Sabbath day.)

bwe@Acts:1:14 @ All of these people were talking to God. The women, Jesus mother Mary, and Jesus brothers were there talking to God also.

bwe@Acts:1:18 @ Judas received money for the wrong thing he did. He bought a field with the money and fell on his face. His belly burst open and all his insides came out.

bwe@Acts:1:19 @ All the people who live in Jerusalem know about this. In their language they named the field Akeldama, which means The Field of Blood.)

bwe@Acts:1:21 @ Here are men who have been with us all the time that the Lord Jesus was with us.

bwe@Acts:2:1 @ On the day of Pentecost these people were all in one place.

bwe@Acts:2:2 @ Then, suddenly, a sound came from heaven. It was like a very strong wind blowing. It went all through the house where they were sitting.

bwe@Acts:2:4 @ All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit. They began to speak the words of God in other languages as the Spirit spoke through them.

bwe@Acts:2:7 @ They were all very much surprised and said to each other, These men who are speaking, are they not all from Galilee?

bwe@Acts:2:9 @ We people from the countries of Parthia and Media and Elam all hear the wonderful things God has done. So also do the people who live in the countries of Mesopotamia, and in Judea in Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia, in Phrygia, and Pamphylia, and in Egypt, and in some parts of Lybia around Cyrene, people from the city of Rome who are now living in Jerusalem, both Jews and those who joined themselves to the Jews, the people from Crete and Arabia. These men from Galilee are speaking in our own languages.

bwe@Acts:2:12 @ They were all very much surprised and could hardly believe it. What does this mean? they asked each other.

bwe@Acts:2:14 @ Peter stood up with the eleven apostles. He shouted, You men of Judea and all who stay in Jerusalem, listen to me! I will tell you the truth.

bwe@Acts:2:17 @ He said, "God says, In the last days I will send my Spirit on all people. I will speak through your sons and daughters. Your young men will see visions and your old men will have dreams.

bwe@Acts:2:21 @ And anyone who calls out to the Lord will be saved."

bwe@Acts:2:31 @ David knew what would happen. So he said that Christ would be raised from death. Christ was not left in the grave. His body was not spoiled. David said all this before it ever happened.

bwe@Acts:2:32 @ And now we all saw it. We are telling people that God raised this Jesus back to life.

bwe@Acts:2:36 @ So let all the people of Israel know this: God has made Jesus to be Lord and Christ. This is the same Jesus whom you nailed to the cross.

bwe@Acts:2:37 @ What Peter said cut the peoples hearts when they heard it. They knew they had done wrong. They said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, Brothers, what shall we do?

bwe@Acts:2:39 @ This promise is for you and your children and for all those whom the Lord our God calls, even though they are far away.

bwe@Acts:2:43 @ All the people were very much surprised. Many wonderful things and signs were done by the apostles.

bwe@Acts:2:44 @ All the believers were together; and everything they had was for the use of all.

bwe@Acts:2:46 @ And every day the believers kept on gathering in the temple. They ate bread in each others homes. They ate their food gladly and with open hearts. They praised God. All the people respected them. Day by day, the Lord added to the church those who were saved.

bwe@Acts:3:2 @ There was a man who had been born lame. He was carried and was laid at the gate of the temple every day. The gate was called Beautiful. He was brought there to beg. He asked for money from the people who went into the temple.

bwe@Acts:3:9 @ All the people saw him walking and praising God.

bwe@Acts:3:10 @ And they knew that this was the man who sat begging at the temple gate which was called Beautiful. They were very much surprised at what had happened to him. They could hardly believe it.

bwe@Acts:3:11 @ While the man still held on to Peter and John, all the people came running to them. It was in the part of the temple which is called Solomons porch. They were still very excited.

bwe@Acts:3:16 @ This man whom you see and know, believed in the name of Jesus Christ. This mans faith in that name has healed him. Yes, believing in Jesus Christ has made him well here in front of you all.

bwe@Acts:3:18 @ But in this way God did what he had told us would happen. Through all the prophets he had told us that Christ would suffer.

bwe@Acts:3:21 @ But he must wait in heaven until the time when all things will be made new again as they were at first. By his holy prophets God spoke of all this from the beginning.

bwe@Acts:3:24 @ Prophets spoke at the time of Samuel, and prophets spoke after that time. They all have told about these days also.

bwe@Acts:3:25 @ You are the people who have received what the prophets promised. And you have received the agreement which God made with your fathers. He said to Abraham, "Through your children all the nations of the earth will receive blessing."

bwe@Acts:4:6 @ Annas the high priest, Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and all of the high priests family were there also.

bwe@Acts:4:10 @ Well, let it be known by all the people of Israel. This man standing before you is healed by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. He has done this. You nailed him to a cross, but God raised him from death.

bwe@Acts:4:12 @ No one else can save us. Of all the people in the world, God chose him to save us. It is by him we must be saved.

bwe@Acts:4:16 @ They said, What shall we do to these men? All the people who live in Jerusalem know about this big work they have done. And we cannot say they did not do it.

bwe@Acts:4:18 @ They called them in and said, Never speak or teach in this name again.

bwe@Acts:4:21 @ So the high priest and those with him told them again. Then they let them go. They could not punish them because of the people. They all praised God for what had been done.

bwe@Acts:4:23 @ When they were free, Peter and John went back to their own friends. They told them all that the chief priests and leaders had said to them.

bwe@Acts:4:24 @ When they heard it, they talked to God together. They said, Lord, you are God. You made the sky, and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them.

bwe@Acts:4:31 @ When they had talked to God, the room they were in shook. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit. And they spoke the word of God without fear.

bwe@Acts:4:32 @ All the believers were one in heart and mind. Not one of them said, This is mine. But everything they had was for the use of all.

bwe@Acts:4:33 @ With much power the apostles told how the Lord Jesus was raised from death. And God blessed them all very much.

bwe@Acts:4:36 @ There was a man named Joseph, a Levite. He was born in the country of Cyprus. The apostles called him Barnabas. That means "one who helps."

bwe@Acts:5:5 @ As Ananias heard Peters words, he fell down and died. All who heard these things were very much afraid.

bwe@Acts:5:11 @ Then all the church people, and all the people who heard about this were very much afraid.

bwe@Acts:5:12 @ The apostles did many signs and wonderful things for the people who met together in the place called Solomons porch.

bwe@Acts:5:17 @ Some Sadducees were with the high priest. They all became very jealous.

bwe@Acts:5:20 @ Go, said the angel. Stand in the temple and tell the people all about this new life.

bwe@Acts:5:21 @ When the apostles heard that, they went into the temple early in the morning and taught the people there. The high priest and his men came. They called a meeting of the court and all the leaders of the Jews. Then they sent men to the prison to bring the apostles out.

bwe@Acts:5:24 @ When the high priest, the captain of the temple, and the chief priests heard this, they did not know what to think. We wonder what will come from all this, they thought.

bwe@Acts:5:27 @ So they brought them in and put them before the court. The high priest asked them, Did we not tell you that you must never teach again in this name? But here you are, teaching people all over Jerusalem in this name. You are trying to put on us the blame for this mans death.

bwe@Acts:5:34 @ Then a lawyer named Gamaliel stood up in the court. He was a Pharisee and all the people respected him. He asked that the apostles be taken out for a while.

bwe@Acts:5:36 @ Before this time, there was a man named Theudas. He tried to make people believe that he was a great man. He had about four hundred followers. He was killed, and all of his followers were scattered, and the whole thing ended.

bwe@Acts:5:37 @ Then after that, at tax time, another man named Judas from Galilee made trouble. Many people followed him. He also was killed and all of his followers were scattered. 38,

bwe@Acts:5:40 @ They agreed to do what he said. They called in the apostles and had them beaten. They told them not to speak in the name of Jesus. Then they let them go.

bwe@Acts:6:2 @ Then the twelve apostles called all of the disciples together. They said, It is not right for us to stop preaching Gods word to divide the food.

bwe@Acts:6:5 @ This pleased all the people. The men they chose were Stephen, a man who believed God and was full of the Holy Spirit, Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolaus from Antioch who had joined the Jews.

bwe@Acts:6:15 @ Then all the judges who sat in the court looked at him and they saw that his face was like the face of an angel.

bwe@Acts:7:5 @ But God did not give any of the land to Abraham, not even a small part. But he promised that the land would belong to him. After him it would belong to his children, even though he did not have a child then.

bwe@Acts:7:10 @ He took him out of all his troubles. He blessed him and made him wise in the eyes of Pharaoh, the king of Egypt. Pharaoh made him president in Egypt and a ruler over all the people of his house.

bwe@Acts:7:14 @ Then Joseph sent for Jacob his father and all the family to come. There were seventy-five people.

bwe@Acts:7:16 @ They were taken back to the place called Shechem and buried. Abraham had bought a grave from the family of Hamor in Shechem. He had paid money for it.

bwe@Acts:7:22 @ Moses was taught all the things the Egyptians knew. He knew how to talk and could do great things.

bwe@Acts:7:30 @ When forty years had passed, he was in the wilderness near the hill called Sinai. There he saw fire in a small tree. An angel of the Lord was in the fire.

bwe@Acts:7:35 @ This is the same Moses the people would not accept when they said, "Who made you our ruler and our judge?" This is the one God sent to be their ruler and to make them free when he spoke through the angel in the small tree.

bwe@Acts:7:38 @ This is the same Moses who was with Gods people in the wilderness at the hill called Mount Sinai. He was with the angel who spoke to him on Mount Sinai, and with our fathers of long ago.It was he who received the words of life to give to us.

bwe@Acts:7:43 @ You carried the house of the god called Moloch and the star of the god called Rephan. You made gods of them to worship. I will carry you away to the other side of Babylon."

bwe@Acts:7:48 @ But even so, God is above all. He does not live in houses that people make with their hands. The prophet says,

bwe@Acts:7:50 @ I have made all these things myself.

bwe@Acts:7:57 @ Then the men shouted. They put their fingers in their ears. All together they ran at Stephen.

bwe@Acts:8:1 @ Saul agreed to Stephen being killed. At that time the church people at Jerusalem had much trouble. The church people all went into Judea and Samaria. Only the apostles stayed on at Jerusalem.

bwe@Acts:8:4 @ The people who left Jerusalem went all around telling the good news about Jesus.

bwe@Acts:8:6 @ And all the people together listened to what Philip said because they heard and saw the big works which he did.

bwe@Acts:8:8 @ The people all over the city were very glad.

bwe@Acts:8:10 @ And all the people, young and old, listened to him. They said, This man is a big power of God.

bwe@Acts:8:23 @ I see that you are very bitter. Your wrong ways control you all together.

bwe@Acts:8:33 @ He was put down very low. He was not allowed to have a proper trial. He had no children to follow after him. For his life is taken from the earth.

bwe@Acts:8:37 @ Philip answered, If you believe with all your heart, you may be baptised. The man said, I do believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.

bwe@Acts:8:40 @ Next, Philip came to the town of Azotus. He told the good news in all the cities through which he passed. Then he came to Caesarea.

bwe@Acts:9:3 @ He went on his way. All at once, near the city of Damascus, a light from the sky shone around him.

bwe@Acts:9:11 @ The Lord said, Go into the street which is called Straight. At the house of Judas, ask for a man named Saul, from the city of Tarsus. He is there, talking with God.

bwe@Acts:9:14 @ The chief priests have given him power in this city to put into prison all those who call on your name.

bwe@Acts:9:21 @ All the people who heard him were surprised. They said, This man killed the people who called on Jesus name in Jerusalem. He came here to catch them and tie them and take them to the chief priests!

bwe@Acts:9:25 @ Then one night the disciples put him in a basket and let him down outside the city wall.

bwe@Acts:9:26 @ When Saul came to Jerusalem, he wanted to join the disciples, but they were all afraid of him. They did not believe that he was a disciple.

bwe@Acts:9:32 @ While Peter was travelling through all the towns, he came to visit Gods people who lived in the city of Lydda.

bwe@Acts:9:35 @ All the people who lived at Lydda and Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord.

bwe@Acts:9:40 @ Peter put them all out. He kneeled down and talked to God. He turned to the body and said, Tabitha, get up. She opened her eyes. When she saw Peter, she sat up.

bwe@Acts:9:41 @ He took her hand and helped her get up. Then he called in Gods people and the women, and he gave her back to them alive.

bwe@Acts:9:42 @ All over Joppa people heard about this. Many people believed on the Lord.

bwe@Acts:10:1 @ In Caesarea lived a man named Cornelius. He was a big captain in the army. His soldiers were called the Italian Group.

bwe@Acts:10:2 @ He was a good man. He and all the people of his house obeyed God. He gave many gifts to the poor. He always talked with God.

bwe@Acts:10:5 @ Send men to Joppa to call Simon, whose other name is Peter.

bwe@Acts:10:7 @ When the angel which spoke to him had gone, Cornelius called two of his house servants. He also called one of the soldiers who believed in God and who always helped him.

bwe@Acts:10:8 @ He told them carefully all about his vision. Then he sent them to Joppa.

bwe@Acts:10:12 @ In the bundle were all kinds of animals and snakes and birds.

bwe@Acts:10:15 @ Then the voice spoke to him again, saying, What God has made clean you must not call unholy.

bwe@Acts:10:17 @ I have seen a strange thing, Peter said to himself. I wonder what it all means. He was thinking about all this. And the men whom Cornelius sent had asked the way to Simons house. Now they stood at the gate.

bwe@Acts:10:18 @ Is this where Simon Peter is staying? they called.

bwe@Acts:10:22 @ They answered, God sent a holy angel to Cornelius. He told him to call you to his house and hear what you have to say. Cornelius is a captain in the army. He is a good man. He does what is right and obeys God. All the Jews speak well of him.

bwe@Acts:10:24 @ The day after that, they reached Caesarea. Cornelius was waiting for them. He had called his family and close friends together.

bwe@Acts:10:28 @ He began to talk with them. He said, You yourselves know it is against our law for a Jew to visit and be friends with someone who is not a Jew. But God has shown me that I should not call any man unholy or unclean.

bwe@Acts:10:32 @ Send men to Joppa to call for Simon Peter. He is staying with Simon, the man who makes skins into leather. His house is by the sea."

bwe@Acts:10:33 @ So I sent for you right away. You have done well to come. Now we are all here before God to hear all that the Lord has told you to tell me.

bwe@Acts:10:34 @ Then Peter began to speak, I really understand now. God does not love some people more than others.

bwe@Acts:10:36 @ To the people of Israel God has sent the good news. He gives peace through Jesus Christ. He is Lord of all!

bwe@Acts:10:37 @ You yourselves know the story of what happened all through Judea. It started in Galilee after the baptism which John talked about.

bwe@Acts:10:38 @ God gave Jesus of Nazareth the Holy Spirit and power. Jesus went about doing good deeds. He healed all those who were held by the devil. God was with him.

bwe@Acts:10:39 @ We saw all the things which he did in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem. And they hung him on a piece of wood and killed him.

bwe@Acts:10:41 @ Not all the people saw him. But God had chosen us to see and to talk about him. We saw him. We ate and drank with him after he rose from death.

bwe@Acts:10:43 @ All the prophets tell about him. They say, "Everyone who believes in him will have his wrong ways forgiven through his name."

bwe@Acts:10:44 @ While Peter was saying this, the Holy Spirit came on all those who heard the message.

bwe@Acts:11:4 @ Peter explained to them all that had happened from the beginning.

bwe@Acts:11:9 @ Then the voice spoke from the sky a second time, saying, "What God has made clean, you must not call unholy."

bwe@Acts:11:13 @ He told us that he had seen Gods angel standing in his house. The angel said to him, "Send men to Joppa to call Simon whose other name is Peter.

bwe@Acts:11:14 @ He will tell you and all your family how to be saved."

bwe@Acts:11:18 @ When the people heard this, they were satisfied. They praised God saying, God has allowed the people who are not Jews to turn to him and live.

bwe@Acts:11:23 @ When he reached there, he saw what had been done by the power of God. He was very glad. He talked to them. He begged them all to keep on following the Lord with all their heart.

bwe@Acts:11:26 @ When he found him, he took him to Antioch. For a whole year they met with all who believed in Jesus Christ. They taught many people. Antioch was the first place where the disciples were called Christians.

bwe@Acts:11:28 @ One of them named Agabus stood up. He told them the Spirit had shown him that much trouble would come to all the world. There would not be much food for the people. (This trouble came when Claudius Caesar was ruler.)

bwe@Acts:12:3 @ He saw that this pleased the leaders of the Jews, so he caught Peter also. This happened at the Jewish feast which they had each year to remember leaving Egypt. (It was called the Passover Feast.)

bwe@Acts:12:10 @ They passed the first and the second guard. Then they came to the iron gate out to the city. It opened for them by itself. So they went all the way down a street. Then the angel left him.

bwe@Acts:12:11 @ When Peter came to himself, he said, Now I know truly that the Lord has sent his angel. He has saved me from Herod and from all that the Jewish leaders are hoping will happen to me.

bwe@Acts:12:15 @ They said, You are crazy. But she kept on saying that Peter was really there. Then they said, It must be his angel.

bwe@Acts:13:2 @ They were worshipping the Lord and fasting <FI>not eating food for a time<Fi>. The Holy Spirit said, Give me Barnabas and Saul to do the work for which I have called them.

bwe@Acts:13:6 @ They went through all the island to the town of Paphos. There they met a witch doctor. He was a Jew named Bar-Jesus. He was not a true prophet.

bwe@Acts:13:7 @ This witch-doctor was with Sergius Paulus, the ruler of the country. Sergius Paulus was a wise man. He wanted to hear Gods word, so he called for Barnabas and Saul.

bwe@Acts:13:8 @ The witch-doctor was also called Elymas. He tried to stop them. He did not want the ruler to believe the truth.

bwe@Acts:13:9 @ Then Saul, who is also called Paul, being filled with the Holy Spirit, looked at him.

bwe@Acts:13:15 @ First, someone read from the books of the law and the prophets. Then the rulers of the meeting house called Paul and Barnabas and said, Men and brothers, have you something to say that will help us? Please say it.

bwe@Acts:13:22 @ Then God took him away. He made David king over them. This is what God said about him, "David, Jesses son, is the kind of man I love. He will do all that I want him to do."

bwe@Acts:13:24 @ Before he came, John <FI>the baptiser<Fi> talked to all the people of Israel. He said they should stop doing wrong things and be baptised.

bwe@Acts:13:26 @ Men and brothers, sons of Abraham, and all of you who worship God, the news of this way to be saved has been sent to us.

bwe@Acts:13:27 @ The people who live in Jerusalem and their rulers did not know who this Jesus really was. They did not understand the words of the prophets of God long ago which were read every Sabbath day. But even so, they did what the prophets had said they would do. They judged him.

bwe@Acts:13:29 @ They did all the things that the prophets had written about him. Then they took him down from the cross made from a tree. They laid him in a grave cut from the rock.

bwe@Acts:13:44 @ The next Sabbath day almost all of the people in that city gathered to hear Gods word.

bwe@Acts:13:48 @ Those who were not Jews heard this. They were glad and they thanked God for his message. All those who had been chosen to live for ever believed.

bwe@Acts:13:49 @ The word of the Lord was told through all that part of the country.

bwe@Acts:14:13 @ There was a temple of Jupiter in front of the city. The priest of the temple brought animals and flowers to the gates to make a sacrifice. All the people were with him.

bwe@Acts:14:15 @ They said, Why are you people doing this? We are only men like you. You should leave these gods which cannot help you. You should turn to the living God. He made the sky, the earth, the sea, and all that is in them.

bwe@Acts:14:16 @ In the time that is past, God allowed all people to do what they wanted to do.

bwe@Acts:14:17 @ But even then he had some ways to make himself known. He did things that were good. He gave us rain from the sky and good harvests. And he gives you all the food you need and makes you very happy. Surely these things speak for him.

bwe@Acts:14:27 @ When they reached the city, they called all the church people together. They told them all that God had done for them. They said, Now God has opened the way to believe for those who are not Jews.

bwe@Acts:15:3 @ So the church people sent them on their way. They passed through the districts of Phoenicia and Samaria. They told them that some who were not Jews were believing in God. This news made all the Christian brothers very happy.

bwe@Acts:15:4 @ When they reached Jerusalem, they were welcomed by the church people, the apostles, and the church leaders. They told all that God had done as he worked with them.

bwe@Acts:15:5 @ But some of the believers who belonged to the Pharisee group stood up and said, They must be circumcised <FI>like the Jews<Fi>. We must tell them to keep all the laws of Moses.

bwe@Acts:15:12 @ Then all the people stopped talking. They listened to what Paul and Barnabas had to say. They told them about all the signs and wonderful things that God had helped them to do among the people who were not Jews.

bwe@Acts:15:16 @ They said, "After this, I will come back and build up again the house of David which has fallen down. I will take the broken pieces and build a house again.

bwe@Acts:15:17 @ Then all the other people will find God, even those who are not Jews but who belong to me. So says the Lord, who is doing all these things."

bwe@Acts:15:22 @ Then the apostles, and the leaders, and all the church people chose men from among themselves. They sent them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas. They chose Judas, whose other name was Barsabbas, and Silas. They were leaders among the Christian brothers.

bwe@Acts:15:25 @ All of us gathered here have chosen some men. We are sending them with our dear brothers, Barnabas and Paul.

bwe@Acts:15:30 @ So the men left and went to Antioch. There they called the people together and gave them the letter.

bwe@Acts:16:3 @ Paul wanted him to go with him. He circumcised him because all the Jews in those places knew that his father was a Greek.

bwe@Acts:16:7 @ After they came to the district of Mysia, they wanted to go to the country of Bithynia but the Holy Spirit did not allow them.

bwe@Acts:16:9 @ In the night Paul had a vision: he saw a picture like a dream. He saw a man of Macedonia standing and calling to him, Come over into Macedonia and help us.

bwe@Acts:16:10 @ After Paul had seen the vision, we tried to leave for Macedonia right away. We believed that the Lord had called us to tell the people there the good news.

bwe@Acts:16:15 @ She and all the people in her house were baptised. Then she begged us and said, If you really feel that I believe in the Lord, come and stay at my house. And she would not allow us to say no.

bwe@Acts:16:22 @ All the people standing around were against Paul and Silas. The judges tore off the clothes of Paul and Silas. They gave orders that they should be beaten.

bwe@Acts:16:26 @ Then all of a sudden the earth shook very much. Even the floor of the prison was shaking. All the doors came wide open. The things that held the prisoners all came off.

bwe@Acts:16:27 @ The prison guard woke up. He saw all the prison doors open. So he took a long knife and was going to kill himself. He thought that all the prisoners had run away.

bwe@Acts:16:28 @ Paul shouted, Stop! Do not hurt yourself. We are all here!

bwe@Acts:16:29 @ The guard called for a light and went in quickly. He kneeled down before Paul and Silas, trembling with fear.

bwe@Acts:16:31 @ They replied, Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved. All the people in your house must do the same.

bwe@Acts:16:32 @ They talked to him and all the people in the house. They told them the word of the Lord.

bwe@Acts:16:33 @ Paul and Silas had sores from the beating in prison. So that same hour of the night the guard washed them. Then he and all the people of his house were baptised.

bwe@Acts:16:34 @ He took Paul and Silas to his home and gave them food to eat. He and all the people in his house were very happy. They now believed in God.

bwe@Acts:17:5 @ But some Jews did not believe, and they were jealous. So they called some of the bad men together and made a crowd. They started to fight and to make plenty of trouble and noise in the city. At Jasons house they went in by force to find Paul and Silas. They wanted to bring them outside to the people.

bwe@Acts:17:8 @ All the people and the rulers of the city became angry when they heard this.

bwe@Acts:17:18 @ There were some wise men who believed the teachings of Epicurius. They believed the teaching of other wise men called Stoics. Some of them began to talk with Paul. And some said, What does this talker have to say? Others said, He seems to be talking about new gods. This was because he was telling them about Jesus and how he was raised from death.

bwe@Acts:17:19 @ So they took Paul and brought him to a meeting at the hill called Areopagus. They said, We want to know what this new teaching is that you are talking about.

bwe@Acts:17:21 @ All the people of Athens and the strangers who lived there passed their time in one way. They liked to tell and to hear some new thing.

bwe@Acts:17:25 @ Men cannot worship him by things they make with their hands because he does not need anything. He is the one who gives life and breath and everything else to all people.

bwe@Acts:17:26 @ God made one man. From that one man he has made all the nations of men to live on the whole earth. He has given to each nation a certain time and a certain place to live.

bwe@Acts:17:29 @ Therefore we have all come from God. So we should not think that God is something made of gold, or silver, or stone. He is not made by mens hands.

bwe@Acts:17:30 @ In times past God did not look at what people did. They did not know any better then. But now he is calling all people to stop doing those things.

bwe@Acts:17:31 @ God has set a day when he will judge the whole world in the right way. He has chosen a man to do this. He has proved to all people who the man is. He has raised him from death.

bwe@Acts:18:2 @ There he met a Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus. A short time before this he and his wife Priscilla had come from the country of Italy. They left Italy because Claudius the ruler had ordered all the Jews to leave Rome. This was the big city in Italy. Paul went to the house of Aquila and Priscilla.

bwe@Acts:18:12 @ When Gallio was the ruler of the province of Achaia, the Jews got together to stop Paul. They took him to court.

bwe@Acts:18:14 @ Paul wanted to speak. Then Gallio said to the Jews, You Jews, if it were a matter of wrong or of doing something very bad, I would listen to you.

bwe@Acts:18:17 @ They caught a man. His name was Sosthenes. He was the head ruler of the meeting house. They beat him in front of the judge, but Gallio did nothing about it.

bwe@Acts:18:23 @ He stayed there for a while. Then he left and went through all the countries of Galatia and Phrygia. He helped the disciples to believe more strongly.

bwe@Acts:19:7 @ In all, there were about twelve men.

bwe@Acts:19:9 @ Some of them were fixed in their minds and would not believe. They said, The Christian way is not good They said this in front of all the people. So Paul left them and took the disciples away. He talked and answered the questions of the people every day in the school of a man named Tyrannus.

bwe@Acts:19:10 @ This went on for two years, and all the people who lived in the province of Asia, both the Jews and the Greeks, heard the Lords word.

bwe@Acts:19:16 @ And the man who had the bad spirit in him jumped on them. He beat them all because he was stronger than they were. Their bodies were bleeding and their clothes were torn. They ran out of the house.

bwe@Acts:19:17 @ When all the Jews and the Greeks at Ephesus knew about this, they all feared. And they had great respect for the name of the Lord Jesus.

bwe@Acts:19:18 @ Many of the people who believed, told God all the bad things they used to do.

bwe@Acts:19:19 @ Many had been witch-doctors. They brought their books and burned them in front of all the people. All the books together had cost about 50,000 silver coins.

bwe@Acts:19:25 @ Demetrius called them all together. He said, Men, you know that we get our money from this work.

bwe@Acts:19:26 @ Now you see and hear how this man Paul has talked. He has turned away many people in Ephesus. Not only that, but he has turned away the hearts of many people in almost all of Asia Minor. He says that things made by mens hands are not really gods.

bwe@Acts:19:27 @ This will spoil our work. Not only that, but people will not respect the house of the great idol goddess Diana any more. All the people in Asia and in the whole world worship her now. But they will despise her!

bwe@Acts:19:29 @ All the people in the city were excited. They caught two men from Macedonia. Their names were Gaius and Aristarchus. They had travelled with Paul. Then they all rushed to the big meeting place with them.

bwe@Acts:19:32 @ Some of the people were shouting one thing and some another. They were all stirred up. Most of the people did not know why they had come together.

bwe@Acts:19:34 @ But when they saw that he was a Jew, they all shouted together for two hours, Great is Diana of Ephesus!

bwe@Acts:19:35 @ At last the city chief stopped the shouting. He said, Men of Ephesus, everyone knows that all the people of Ephesus take care of the house of the great Diana. And they take care of the stone which fell from the sky.

bwe@Acts:19:39 @ If you want anything more than that, it must be done in a meeting which has been called by law.

bwe@Acts:20:1 @ When everything was quiet, Paul called the disciples. He talked to them so they would not be afraid. Then he said goodbye and left. He went to Macedonia.

bwe@Acts:20:17 @ He sent a message from Miletus to Ephesus to call the leaders of the church to come to him.

bwe@Acts:20:18 @ When they came, he said, You know how I have lived all the time that I have been with you. I lived that way from the first day I came into Asia.

bwe@Acts:20:24 @ But none of these things trouble me. I do not try to save my life. All I want is to finish what I must do with joy. The work which the Lord Jesus gave me is to tell the good news that God is kind.

bwe@Acts:20:25 @ I know that you all will never see me again. I have told you about Gods kingdom.

bwe@Acts:20:27 @ I have not feared to tell you all that God wants you to know.

bwe@Acts:20:36 @ When Paul had said this, he kneeled down and talked to God with them all.

bwe@Acts:20:37 @ They all cried much. They put their arms around his neck and kissed him.

bwe@Acts:20:38 @ They were sad most of all because he had said they would not see him again. And they went with him to the boat.

bwe@Acts:21:5 @ When the seven days had passed, we left and went on our way. All of the men, women, and children went with us out of the city. There by the sea we kneeled down and talked to God.

bwe@Acts:21:18 @ The next day Paul went with us to see James. All the church leaders were there.

bwe@Acts:21:20 @ When they heard it, they praised the Lord. They said to Paul, Brother, there are many thousands of Jews who believe. They all say we must obey the law of Moses.

bwe@Acts:21:21 @ They have heard that you teach all the Jews who live in other lands. They heard that you tell them not to obey Moses law: that they need not circumcise their children like the Jews do; and they can leave the Jewish ways of living.

bwe@Acts:21:24 @ Take them with you. Make yourself clean with them, the way the law says to do. Pay the cost for having their hair cut. Then all the people will know that all the things they heard about you are not true. They will know that you live the way the law says you should live.

bwe@Acts:21:27 @ The seven days were almost over. The Jewish leaders from Asia Minor saw Paul in the temple. They got all the people there excited. They caught hold of him.

bwe@Acts:21:28 @ They shouted, All you men of Israel, come and help us! This is the man who teaches everyone everywhere not to respect our people. He says we need not obey the law or respect this temple. And what is more, he has brought Greek people into the temple. He has made this holy place unclean.

bwe@Acts:21:30 @ So all the people in the city were excited. They came running. They caught Paul and took him out of the temple by force. Then the doors were shut behind them.

bwe@Acts:21:31 @ They were trying to kill him. The officer in charge of the soldiers heard that all the people of Jerusalem were making trouble.

bwe@Acts:21:36 @ They were all following, shouting, Kill him!

bwe@Acts:21:40 @ So the officer let him talk. Paul stood on the steps and put up his hand. Then all the people were very quiet. He talked to them in the Jews language.

bwe@Acts:22:2 @ When the people heard him speak in the Jews language, they were even more quiet. Then Paul said, I am a Jew. I was born in the city of Tarsus in Cilicia. But I was raised here in this city. Gamaliel was my teacher. He taught me very well in the law of our fathers. I was trying hard to obey God, just as you all are today.

bwe@Acts:22:5 @ The high priest and all the leaders know that this is true about me. They wrote letters for me to carry to the leaders of the Jews in the city of Damascus. I went to have the Christians there tied and brought to Jerusalem to be punished.

bwe@Acts:22:6 @ I was on my way and was near Damascus. It was about midday. All at once a very bright light from the sky shone all around me.

bwe@Acts:22:10 @ Then I said, "Lord, what shall I do?" And the Lord said to me, "Get up and go to Damascus. There someone will tell you all you must do."

bwe@Acts:22:12 @ A man named Ananias was there. He obeyed the law of Moses, and all the Jews who lived there spoke well of him.

bwe@Acts:22:15 @ You will speak for him. You will tell all the people what you have seen and heard.

bwe@Acts:22:16 @ Now, why do you wait? Get up and be baptised. Wash away your wrong ways by calling on the name of the Lord!"

bwe@Acts:22:19 @ And I said, "Lord, they know that I put in prison those who believed in you. I beat them in all the meeting houses.

bwe@Acts:22:30 @ The officer wanted to know the real reason why the Jewish leaders were angry with Paul. So the next day he had Paul untied. He called the chief priests and the leaders to hold a court meeting. Then he took Paul down and brought him in before them.

bwe@Acts:23:3 @ Paul said, God will hit you down, you dirty wall painted white! You sit there to judge me by the law and you break the law by telling them to hit me.

bwe@Acts:23:5 @ Paul said, I did not know that he is a high priest. The holy writings say, "You shall not say anything wrong about a ruler of your people."

bwe@Acts:23:6 @ Paul knew that some of the men were from the Sadducee group and some of them were from the Pharisee group. So he called out in the court, My brothers, I am a Pharisee. My fathers were Pharisees. I am being judged because I believe that the dead will be raised to life again.

bwe@Acts:23:8 @ The Sadducees say the dead will not be raised again. They say there is no angel or spirit. But the Pharisees believe in all these three things.

bwe@Acts:23:9 @ There was much shouting. Some of the clever men who were Pharisees got up. They said, We do not think this man has done wrong. Perhaps some angel or spirit really did speak to him.

bwe@Acts:23:17 @ Paul called one of the officers and said to him, Take this young man to the commanding officer. He has something to tell him!

bwe@Acts:23:18 @ So the officer took him to the commanding officer. He said, Paul, the prisoner, called me. He asked me to bring this young man to you because he has something to tell you.

bwe@Acts:23:23 @ The commanding officer called two officers to him. He said, Get two hundred soldiers ready by nine oclock tonight to go to Caesarea. Send seventy men with them who will ride on horses and two hundred men who will carry spears.

bwe@Acts:23:34 @ He read the letter. Then he asked Paul what country he came from. He heard that Paul was from Cilicia. Then he said, I will hear all you have to say when the men who have made the complaint come here. He ordered Paul to be kept in the house which is called Herods palace.

bwe@Acts:24:2 @ Paul was called in. Tertullus began to bring the complaints. Great ruler Felix, he said, we have peace because of what you have done. These people have a better life because of you.

bwe@Acts:24:5 @ We have found this man to be a real trouble-maker. He talks to the Jews all over the world and causes them to disobey the laws. He is the leading trouble-maker of the Nazarene group.

bwe@Acts:24:8 @ He told those who have complaints against him to come to you. Ask him yourself and you will find out from him about all these complaints we have brought against him.

bwe@Acts:24:25 @ Paul talked about what is right, about living the right way, and about the time when all people will be judged. Felix was very much afraid when he heard these things. He said to Paul, You may go now. When I have time, I will call you again.

bwe@Acts:25:12 @ So Festus talked the matter over with the court. Then he said to Paul, You have asked to go to Caesar. All right, you will go to Caesar!

bwe@Acts:25:22 @ Agrippa said to Festus, I should like to hear the man myself. Festus said, Tomorrow you shall hear him.

bwe@Acts:25:23 @ So the next day Agrippa and Bernice came, making a big show of themselves. They went into the room to hear Paul talk. Officers and the leading men of the city also went in. When Festus called for Paul, he was brought in.

bwe@Acts:25:24 @ Then Festus said, King Agrippa and all you men here with us, you see this man. All the Jewish leaders, both in Jerusalem and here, came together and talked about him. They shouted, "He must die!"

bwe@Acts:25:26 @ But I have no real complaint about him to write to my ruler. So I have brought this man before you all, and most of all before you, king Agrippa. When you have heard him, I hope I will have something to write about him.

bwe@Acts:26:2 @ King Agrippa, I am happy to speak for myself before you today. I will talk about all the things the leaders of the Jews have said against me.

bwe@Acts:26:3 @ You know all the ways of the Jews. You know what they believe. So please take time to listen to me.

bwe@Acts:26:4 @ All the Jews know the way I lived from the time I was young. From the beginning I lived with my own people at Jerusalem.

bwe@Acts:26:7 @ All the people of our twelve tribes serve God faithfully day and night. They do this because they believe they will receive what he has promised. Because I believe this, king Agrippa, the Jewish leaders are talking against me.

bwe@Acts:26:11 @ Often I punished them in all the meeting places. I tried to make them say wrong things about Christ. I was very, very angry. I even went to other cities to trouble them.

bwe@Acts:26:13 @ I was on the road at midday, king Agrippa, and I saw a bright light. It came from the sky and was brighter than the light of the sun. It shone all around me and the men who were travelling with me.

bwe@Acts:26:14 @ We all fell to the ground. I heard someone say to me in the Jews language, "Saul, Saul, why are you troubling me? You hurt yourself when you kick against the sticks which guide you."

bwe@Acts:26:20 @ I told the good news to the people of Damascus and Jerusalem. Then I told it all over Judea. I went to those who are not Jews. I told everyone that they must stop doing wrong things and turn to God. I told them they must show by the way they live that they have stopped doing wrong things.

bwe@Acts:26:22 @ God has always helped me up to today. I have stood and talked to both small people and great people. I have said nothing more than what the prophets and Moses said would happen.

bwe@Acts:26:24 @ While Paul was saying these things Festus shouted, Paul, you are crazy! All your book learning is making you crazy.

bwe@Acts:26:29 @ Right away or later, said Paul. I wish that all who hear me today might be what I am. That is, what I am without these chains.

bwe@Acts:27:3 @ The next day we stopped at the city of Sidon. Julius was kind to Paul. He allowed him to go to see his friends so they could care for him.

bwe@Acts:27:8 @ We had trouble going along near the coast, but at last we came to a place called Fair Havens. This was near the town of Lasea.

bwe@Acts:27:16 @ We came close to a small island called Clauda. There we had a hard time to pull up the small boat.

bwe@Acts:27:21 @ The men of the boat had not eaten anything for a long time. Then Paul stood up and said, Sirs, you should have listened to me and not left Crete. But you did leave. So you have had much trouble and have lost all these things.

bwe@Acts:27:24 @ He said, "Paul, do not be afraid. You must stand before Caesar. And see, God has given you the lives of all these men who are travelling with you."

bwe@Acts:27:29 @ Then they were afraid that we would hit the rocks. There were four heavy iron hooks called anchors. They let them down into the water at the back end of the boat. Then they wished that morning would come.

bwe@Acts:27:30 @ The boatmen wanted to get off and leave the boat. They even put down the small boat into the water. They said they were going to put more anchors out from the front of the big boat.

bwe@Acts:27:32 @ Then the soldiers cut the ropes holding the small boat and let the water carry it away.

bwe@Acts:27:33 @ When it was almost morning, Paul begged them all to eat. He said, Today is the fourteenth day that you have been watching and have not eaten anything.

bwe@Acts:27:35 @ When he had said this, he stood in front of them all. He took some bread and thanked God for it. Then he broke it and began to eat it.

bwe@Acts:27:36 @ Then they all were glad and ate some food themselves.

bwe@Acts:27:37 @ In all, we were 276 people on the boat.

bwe@Acts:27:38 @ They ate all they wanted. Then they threw the grain into the water, so that the boat would not be so heavy.

bwe@Acts:27:44 @ Then the rest of you jump in and go on planks and other pieces of the boat. So in this way they all got to the land safely.

bwe@Acts:28:1 @ When we were safe on land, we found that the island we were on was called Malta.

bwe@Acts:28:11 @ A boat from the town of Alexandria was at the island all through the winter time. It was marked with a sign of the Twin Brothers. After we had been on the island for three months, we went on that boat.

bwe@Acts:28:14 @ There we found some Christian brothers. They asked us to stay with them for seven days. Then we went to Rome. Some of the Christians at Rome had heard about us. They came to places called the Market Place of Appius and the Three Hotels. There they met us. When Paul saw them, he thanked God. It made him strong and glad to see these brothers.

bwe@Acts:28:16 @ When we came to Rome, Paul was allowed to stay in a house by himself with the soldier who guarded him.

bwe@Acts:28:17 @ After three days, Paul called for the leaders of the Jews at Rome. When they had come, he said to them, My brothers, I have done nothing against our people. I have obeyed the laws of our fathers. And yet I was made a prisoner at Jerusalem and was given over to the Romans.

bwe@Acts:28:30 @ Paul stayed in Rome for two whole years in a house he paid money to live in. He was glad to see all who came to him.

bwe@Romans:1:1 @ I am Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ. He called me to be an apostle and to tell Gods good news.

bwe@Romans:1:4 @ He came alive from death. That showed he was Gods Son. He had Gods power. Gods Holy Spirit did all this.

bwe@Romans:1:5 @ This same Jesus Christ was kind to me. And he made me an apostle. I am sent in his name so that people in all nations will obey him.

bwe@Romans:1:6 @ 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:1:14 @ This is something I must do for the Greek people and for all other people. I must do it for people who are wise and for people who are not wise.

bwe@Romans:1:18 @ God is angry. He has shown it from heaven. He is angry because of all the bad and wrong things people do. These people hold back Gods truth by the wrong things they do.

bwe@Romans:1:20 @ People cannot see that God has power which lasts for ever. They cannot see that he is really God. But ever since he made the world, he has clearly shown this by the things he made. So they cannot say, I did not know about God.

bwe@Romans:1:25 @ They would not believe what was true about God. They believed a lie. They worshipped and worked for something that was made by God. They did not worship God-God who made all things. He is the one to worship for ever. Amen. May it be so!

bwe@Romans:2:12 @ All those who do not know the law <FI>of God given to Moses<Fi> and did what was wrong, will die. But they will not be judged by the law. All those who know the law and did what was wrong will be judged by the law.

bwe@Romans:2:13 @ (God does not say people are good because they have heard the law. But people who obey the law will be called good people.

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

bwe@Romans:2:28 @ If a person is a Jew only on the outside, he is not really a Jew. And true circumcision is not something that is done on the outside of the body.

bwe@Romans:2:29 @ If a person is a Jew inside, he is really a Jew. It is God who praises him, not people. True circumcision is done in the heart. It is in the spirit, not in the body. Such people are not praised; but God praises them.

bwe@Romans:3:5 @ When we do wrong things, we show that God is right. What shall we say about that? Does God do wrong when he punishes us? (I speak the way people would think about it.)

bwe@Romans:3:9 @ So what shall we say? Are we Jews any better than other people? No, we are not! I have already shown that all men, both Jews and people who are not Jews have done wrong things.

bwe@Romans:3:12 @ They all have turned away from the straight road. Together they have gone the wrong way. No one does good, not even one person!

bwe@Romans:3:19 @ We know that everything the law says, it says to the people who have the law. Then no one can say a word for themselves. All the people in the world will be brought to God to be judged.

bwe@Romans:3:22 @ God puts people right with himself when they believe in Jesus Christ. He does this for all who believe. They are all alike.

bwe@Romans:3:23 @ All have done wrong and all are far from being as good as God.

bwe@Romans:3:27 @ Then what have we to be proud of? Nothing at all. Why not? Does God put us right with himself because of anything we have done? No. He does it because we believe.

bwe@Romans:3:29 @ Is God the God of the Jews only? Is he not the God of other people also? Yes, he is. There is only one God of all peoples.

bwe@Romans:4:1 @ So what shall we say about Abraham? He is the father of our family on earth.

bwe@Romans:4:6 @ David also says that God blesses a man. God calls him a good man but not because he has kept the law.

bwe@Romans:4:9 @ Does God bless only people who have been circumcised? Or does he also bless those who are not? We say, because Abraham believed God, God called him a good man. His faith made him right with God.

bwe@Romans:4:11 @ Abraham was circumcised as a sign. It was a sign that he was a good man, because he believed when he was not yet circumcised. That makes him the father of all people who believe, even those who are not circumcised. God says they are good people.

bwe@Romans:4:16 @ That is why people must believe. Because God is kind, he makes the promise sure for all of Abrahams children. The promise is for those who have the law and also for those who believe as Abraham did. He is the father of us all.

bwe@Romans:5:2 @ Because we believe, Christ has brought us to the place where God can do us good. We are in that place now. We are very happy because we have the hope that we shall see Gods greatness.

bwe@Romans:5:11 @ Not only is that true, but it is through our Lord Jesus Christ that we can enjoy God. This is for all who have been brought back to God by him.

bwe@Romans:5:12 @ One man <FI>Adam<Fi> did a wrong thing. And the wrong thing he did made him die. So all men die because all have done wrong things.

bwe@Romans:5:18 @ One man did a wrong thing. And so all people were punished through him. But Christ did the right thing. And so all people can have the free gift of life through being put right with God.

bwe@Romans:5:20 @ When the law came, it showed how wrong people really were. But when people were really bad, God was even more kind.

bwe@Romans:6:1 @ What shall we say then? Shall we keep on doing wrong things so that God will be more kind to us?

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:6:5 @ Have we shared with Christ and died as he died? Then we shall share with him by rising from death as he arose.

bwe@Romans:6:10 @ He died. And he died once for all time, so that people would stop their wrong ways. But now he lives. And he lives for God.

bwe@Romans:6:15 @ What then? The law does not rule over us now. Gods loving kindness rules over us. So, shall we do wrong things? No, never!

bwe@Romans:7:7 @ So what shall we say? Shall we say that the law is bad? No! I would not have known what is wrong if there had been no law. The law says, Do not want to take other peoples things. That is how I know it is wrong to want another persons things.

bwe@Romans:7:8 @ My wrong ways used the law to make me want all kinds of things. When there is no law, the thing within me that wants to do wrong is dead.

bwe@Romans:8:14 @ All who do what Gods Spirit leads them to do are Gods sons.

bwe@Romans:8:18 @ I think that the troubles we have in this life are nothing when we think of the great things that we shall have.

bwe@Romans:8:20 @ The world was spoiled. It did not want to be spoiled, but God allowed it.

bwe@Romans:8:29 @ He knew all along that he would choose them. He chose them to be made like his Son. Then his Son would be the first one of many brothers.

bwe@Romans:8:30 @ He chose them and he also called them. He called them to himself as if they had never been bad people. He made them right with himself and he also made them great in heaven.

bwe@Romans:8:31 @ So what shall we say about this? If God is on our side, who can be against us?

bwe@Romans:8:32 @ He did not keep his own Son, but gave him up for us all. Because he has given him to us, will he not also give us all other things?

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

bwe@Romans:8:37 @ But Christ loved us. He has helped us to win great victory in all these things.

bwe@Romans:8:39 @ I know this. Death, life, angels, rulers, things happening now, things that will happen, high things, low things; nothing else in all the world can come between us and Gods love in Christ Jesus our Lord.

bwe@Romans:9:4 @ The great men were their fathers. Christ was born a Jew. He is God over all. Praise him for ever! Yes, he is!

bwe@Romans:9:5 @ God will do what he said he would do. Not all who are Jews belong to the real Israel.

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

bwe@Romans:9:7 @ This means that not all who were born in Abrahams family are Gods children. God promised Abraham a son <FI>Isaac<Fi>. His children <FI>the Jews<Fi> are the ones that God called Abrahams true family.

bwe@Romans:9:8 @ For this is what God promised, About this time next year I will come and Sarah shall have a son.

bwe@Romans:9:9 @ And that is not all. Rebecca also had children. Their father was Isaac, our father.

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:9:13 @ So what shall we say? Does God do what is not right? No, never!

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:9:23 @ That means he also called us. He called not only those who are Jews, but also those who are not Jews.

bwe@Romans:9:24 @ In the book written long ago by the prophet Hosea, God says They were not my people. But I will call them "my people". I did not love her, but I will call her "the one I love."

bwe@Romans:9:25 @ And in the very place where it was said to them, "You are not my people," they will be called "sons of the living God."

bwe@Romans:9:27 @ The Lord will do what he said he will do on the earth. He will do it all and do it soon.

bwe@Romans:9:29 @ So what shall we say? The people who are not Jews have been put right with God. They did nothing to make themselves right with God. But they were put right because they believed God.

bwe@Romans:9:30 @ But the Jews tried to obey the law that could make them good people. But they did not obey it all.

bwe@Romans:9:32 @ That is what the holy writings say, I put in Zion a stone on which people will hit their feet. It is a rock that will make them fall down. Anyone who believes in him will not be ashamed.

bwe@Romans:10:1 @ My brothers, with all my heart I want the Jews to be saved. And I ask God to save them.

bwe@Romans:10:12 @ The Jews and other people are alike. The same Lord is Lord of all people. He richly blesses all who call out to him.

bwe@Romans:10:13 @ The holy writings say, Everyone who calls out to the Lord will be saved.

bwe@Romans:10:14 @ But how can people call someone if they have not believed in him? And how can they believe in him if they have not heard about him? And how can they hear about him if no one tells them about him?

bwe@Romans:10:16 @ But they have not all obeyed the good news. It is as Isaiah said it would be, Lord, who has believed what we have told them?

bwe@Romans:10:18 @ But I ask, have they not heard? Yes, they have. The holy writings say, Their voice has gone out all over the earth. And their words have gone out all over the world.

bwe@Romans:10:21 @ But he says about the Jews, All day I held out my hands to a people who did not obey me, who said wrong things against me.

bwe@Romans:11:9 @ And David said long ago, May the table where they eat be like a net and like a trap. May it make them fall down. May it punish them.

bwe@Romans:11:10 @ Make their eyes become blind so that they cannot see. Make their backs bent all the time.

bwe@Romans:11:11 @ So I ask, Have their feet been caught so that they have really fallen down? No. But because they began to fall, the people who are not Jews were told how to be saved. That would make the Jews jealous.

bwe@Romans:11:16 @ If the first piece of bread is holy, so is all the rest which came from the same bread mix. If the root of a tree is holy, the branches are holy 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:11:26 @ Then all the Jews will be saved. The holy writings say, Someone will come from Zion to save people. He will take away the wrong ways of our father Jacob.

bwe@Romans:11:29 @ God does not change his gifts or his call to people.

bwe@Romans:11:32 @ God allowed people to disobey him. He did it so that he might be kind and forgive all people.

bwe@Romans:11:36 @ All things come from God, through God, and return to God. Praise him for ever! Yes, it is so!

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:12:4 @ In a body there are many parts, but all the parts do not do the same thing.

bwe@Romans:12:5 @ In the same way, we are many people. But we are one body because we are all joined together in Christ. Each one of us is a part of all the others.

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

bwe@Romans:13:7 @ Pay them all that they should have. Pay taxes to the person who should have the taxes. Pay money to the person who should have the money. Respect the people who should be respected. Honour a person who should be honoured.

bwe@Romans:13:8 @ Do not have any debts, but love each other. Anyone who loves his neighbour has done all that the law says we should do.

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

bwe@Romans:13:10 @ Anyone who loves his neighbour will do no wrong to him. So love does all that the law says to do.

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

bwe@Romans:14:1 @ 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:14:5 @ One man thinks, This day is better than that day. But another man thinks, All days are alike. Every man should be sure in his own mind what he believes.

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

bwe@Romans:14:13 @ So we must not judge each other any longer. But it is better for us to judge this. Never put anything in a brothers way that will hurt him or that will make him fall down.

bwe@Romans:14:20 @ 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:15:11 @ And they also say, People who are not Jews, praise the Lord. All peoples should praise him.

bwe@Romans:15:19 @ I had the power to do signs and wonderful things through the power of the Holy Spirit. So I have told the good news of Christ all the way from the city of Jerusalem to the country of Illyricum.

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

bwe@Romans:16:4 @ They almost died to save me. I am not the only one who thanks them. All the churches who are not Jews thank them also.

bwe@Romans:16:15 @ Give my greetings to Philologus, Julia, Nereus, and his sister, and Olympas, and all Gods people who are with them.

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

bwe@Romans:16:26 @ The books of the prophets have told this message. The God who lives for ever told the prophets to write this message so that all the people who are not Jews will believe and obey.

bwe@1Corinthians:1:1 @ I am Paul. God called me to be an apostle of Jesus Christ. He did this because he wanted to.

bwe@1Corinthians:1:2 @ 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:1:5 @ He has made you rich in all ways, in all that you say and in all you know.

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:1:24 @ But some have been called by God. They are chosen, both Jews and other people. Christ is Gods power to save them. This shows how wise he is.

bwe@1Corinthians:1:28 @ And God chose the small things, things that people despise. Yes, he chose even the things which seem to be nothing. He did this to destroy the big things.

bwe@1Corinthians:2:6 @ However, our words are wise words to those who really believe. But they are not the kind of wise words that the people of this world speak. They are not the kind of wise words that the rulers of this world speak. Those rulers will die.

bwe@1Corinthians:2:11 @ The only one who really knows what a person is thinking is the spirit of the person himself. So also, no one knows what God is thinking, only the Spirit of God.

bwe@1Corinthians:2:15 @ He who has the Spirit of God tests all things. But others cannot test him.

bwe@1Corinthians:2:16 @ The holy writings say: Who knows the mind of the Lord so that he may teach him? As for us, we really do have the mind of Christ.

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:3:10 @ I built the lower walls of the house because God showed me the best way to do it. Now another man builds on top of this foundation. Each man must take care how he builds on it.

bwe@1Corinthians:3:18 @ 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: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:4:21 @ 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:5:5 @ 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: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:6:7 @ 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:6:15 @ 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: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:7:7 @ I wish that all men were like I am. But God has made everyone different. One man can live one way and another man can live another way.

bwe@1Corinthians:7:15 @ If the one who is not a Christian really wants to leave, let him go. The Christian husband or wife is free then. God has called us to live in peace.

bwe@1Corinthians:7:17 @ Only let me say this. Every man should go on living in the way which the Lord chooses for him. He should go on as he was when God called him to be a Christian. I say this to people in all the churches.

bwe@1Corinthians:7:18 @ If a man was already circumcised when God called him, he should not try to change the marks of it. If a man was not circumcised when God called him, he should not be circumcised.

bwe@1Corinthians:7:20 @ Everyone should stay the way he was when God called him.

bwe@1Corinthians:7:21 @ 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:7:22 @ If a man was a slave when the Lord called him, he is the Lords free man. So also if a man was free when he was called, he is Christs slave.

bwe@1Corinthians:7:24 @ So, Christian brothers, everyone should go on living as he was when God called him. But now he lives with God.

bwe@1Corinthians:8:1 @ Now here is what I say about food given to idols. We all know something about this matter. Yet knowledge makes us proud. Love is the real teacher.

bwe@1Corinthians:8:2 @ If anyone thinks he knows much, then he does not know what he really should know.

bwe@1Corinthians:8:4 @ So here is what I say about eating food that has been given to idols or false gods. We know that an idol really is nothing in this world. There is only one true and living God.

bwe@1Corinthians:8:5 @ There are things in the sky and on earth which are called gods. Yes, there are many gods and lords.

bwe@1Corinthians:8:6 @ Yet for us there is only one God. He is the Father. All things come from him. He is the one for whom we live. And there is only one Lord. He is Jesus Christ. He made all things. He is the one who gives us life.

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: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:9:15 @ 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:9:22 @ When I was with weak people, I lived like a weak person. I did this so that I might win weak people to Christ. I lived like all kinds of people to save some of them.

bwe@1Corinthians:9:23 @ I do all this for the good news, so that I also will have some of its blessing.

bwe@1Corinthians:9:24 @ 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:9:27 @ But I control my own body really well. I make my body obey me. After telling others the good news, I myself do not want to be left out.

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:10:2 @ It was as if they were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea.

bwe@1Corinthians:10:3 @ They all ate the same food from the Spirit.

bwe@1Corinthians:10:4 @ They all drank the same water sent by the Spirit. The water they drank came from a Rock of the Spirit which went with them. That Rock was Christ.

bwe@1Corinthians:10:12 @ Therefore, when a person thinks, I am strong; I can stand, let that person be careful, or he will fall.

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:10:16 @ We ask God to bless the cup at the Lords supper. When we drink from this cup it means that the blood of Christ is for us all. We break the bread. When we eat this bread, it means that the body of Christ is for us all.

bwe@1Corinthians:10:17 @ The bread is all one loaf. In the same way, we are many people but we are one body. We all eat from the same loaf.

bwe@1Corinthians:10:18 @ See what the Jews do. Those who eat the sacrifices all eat things that are sacrificed.

bwe@1Corinthians:10:19 @ What do I mean by saying this? Is the food that has been given to idols really something holy? Or is an idol really something like God?

bwe@1Corinthians:10:33 @ I, also, try to please everyone in all I do. I do not think of what will be good for me, but I think of what will be good for many people. I want them to be saved.

bwe@1Corinthians:11:5 @ But any woman who talks to God or speaks words from God with her head not covered brings shame on her head. She is just the same as a woman who has cut off all her hair.

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:12:6 @ There are different ways of working, but there is only one God. He works in all people and does it all.

bwe@1Corinthians:12:7 @ And the Holy Spirit gives each one a gift so that all people may be helped.

bwe@1Corinthians:12:11 @ And the same Spirit gives the power for all these things. He gives each person what he wants to give to them.

bwe@1Corinthians:12:13 @ The one Spirit baptized us all to make one body. It made no difference whether we were Jews or Greeks, whether we were slaves or free men. We were all given to drink of one Spirit.

bwe@1Corinthians:12:14 @ I say again, the body is not all one part, but has many parts.

bwe@1Corinthians:12:17 @ If all of the body were an eye, how could we hear? If all the body were an ear, how could we smell?

bwe@1Corinthians:12:19 @ If they were all one part, how could it be a body?

bwe@1Corinthians:12:24 @ He did this so that the body would not be divided into groups, but all the parts would help each other. 26)If one part has trouble, then all the other parts are troubled too. If one part is praised, then all the other parts are glad with it.

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

bwe@1Corinthians:12:27 @ Are all the people apostles? Can they all speak words from God? Can they all teach? Can they all do big works?

bwe@1Corinthians:12:28 @ Do they all have the gifts to heal the sick people? Can they all speak in different tongues? Can they all tell the meaning of these tongues?

bwe@1Corinthians:13:2 @ If I speak words from God, if I can understand all secrets, and know everything, if I can move mountains by believing, but if I do not love people, I am nothing, even though I can do all of these things.

bwe@1Corinthians:13:3 @ If I give away all I have, and if I give my body to be burned, but if I do not love people, I get nothing out of it.

bwe@1Corinthians:13:12 @ Now it is like looking in a looking-glass which does not make things clear. We cannot see and understand things plainly. But when things become perfect, then we shall fully know and understand everything, just as God knows.

bwe@1Corinthians:14:4 @ The person who talks in a different tongue helps himself. But the one who tells forth Gods word helps all the people in the church.

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:14:15 @ What then shall I do? I will talk to God with my spirit and I will talk to God with my mind. I will sing with my spirit and I will sing with my mind.

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:14:24 @ But what happens if everyone speaks words from God? If such people come in, then the words from God will prove to them that they have done wrong. They will all speak to the heart.

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:14:33 @ God does not want things to be out of order. He wants peace in the church meeting. In all the churches of Gods people, the women should be quiet in the church meetings. They must not be allowed to talk. They must obey. The holy writings say this also.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:5 @ Peter saw him, and then all the twelve disciples saw him.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:7 @ After that, James saw him. Then all the apostles saw him.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:8 @ Last of all, I saw him too. I was like one who was born at the wrong time.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:9 @ The other apostles are all greater than I am. I should not be called an apostle because I troubled the people of Gods church.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:19 @ And if we have hope in Christ for our life in this world only, then we are the most unhappy of all people.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:20 @ But Christ really has been raised from death. He was the first one to rise of all who have died.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:22 @ All people who are of Adam die. And so also, all people who belong to Christ will live.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:24 @ After that the end will come. Christ will hand over the ruling power to God the Father. Christ will stop all other rulers, and everyone who has any rights and power.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:25 @ Christ must rule until God has all power over all his enemies.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:27 @ The holy writings say, God has put all things under Christ. But it does not mean that God is under Christ. God is the one who put all things under him.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:28 @ One day the Son will be over all things. And God will be over the Son. So in the end God will be over all things.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:30 @ And why are we in trouble all the time?

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:15:39 @ Not all living bodies are alike. People have one kind of body. Animals have another kind of body. Fish another kind of body. Birds have another kind.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:49 @ We were made like the man of dust but we shall look like the man from heaven.

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

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

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

bwe@2Corinthians:1:1 @ I am Paul. I am called by God to be an apostle of Jesus Christ. My Christian brother Timothy and I send greetings to the church of God in the city of Corinth. We also send greetings to all of Gods people in the country of Greece.

bwe@2Corinthians:1:8 @ Yes, we really felt our time had come to die. This was to make us trust, not in ourselves, but in God. He brings people back to life.

bwe@2Corinthians:1:11 @ 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:1:18 @ To the many promises God has made Christ can say Yes.He can make them all come true. So then, it is because of Christ that we can say, Yes, it is so! when we praise God.

bwe@2Corinthians:1:20 @ He has put his Spirit in our hearts. This is the first part of what we are to receive, and it proves that we will receive all God has promised.

bwe@2Corinthians:2:3 @ 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:2:8 @ Here is why I wrote to you. I wanted to test you to find out if you obey me in all matters.

bwe@2Corinthians: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:3:18 @ All of us have no cloth over our faces. People can see that we have some of the bright and wonderful light that the Lord has. And we are becoming brighter and brighter, more and more like him. It is the Lord, the Spirit, who does this.

bwe@2Corinthians:4:2 @ We never do wrong things nor do things in secret. We do not fool people nor change Gods message. No, we tell people the truth openly. We let every person judge us for himself. We know that God sees all we do.

bwe@2Corinthians:4:14 @ We know this. God raised up the Lord Jesus, and he will raise us up also with Jesus. He will bring us all to stand together before God.

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

bwe@2Corinthians: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:5:13 @ The love of Christ makes us do what we do to win men. We believe that one man died for all people. <FI>To God<Fi> it is as if we all died with him.

bwe@2Corinthians:5:14 @ He died for all, so that those who live would not live to please themselves. But they should live to please him who gave his life for them and rose again from death.

bwe@2Corinthians:5:17 @ But it is God who has done all this. He sent Christ to make peace with us and to bring us back to himself. Now he has given us the work of bringing other people back to God.

bwe@2Corinthians:5:19 @ So we are messengers for Christ. God is using us to call people. So we are standing here for Christ and begging people, Come back to God!

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:6:10 @ We are poor, but we make many people rich. We have nothing, but really we have everything.

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

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

bwe@2Corinthians:7:3 @ 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:7:4 @ When we came to the country of Macedonia, we had no rest for our bodies. We had all kinds of trouble everywhere. There was fighting around us and our hearts were full of fear.

bwe@2Corinthians:7:8 @ 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:7:12 @ 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: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:8:17 @ We are sending another brother with him. This brother has a good name in all the churches because he tells the good news.

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

bwe@2Corinthians:9:3 @ 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:9:8 @ 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:9:11 @ 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:9:15 @ Thank God for his gift so great that no words can ever tell it all!

bwe@2Corinthians:10:4 @ We do not use the things of this world in our fighting, but we use the power of God. This power can break down the walls where the enemy hides.

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

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:10:18 @ A man who praises himself is not a man who is good. The man who is really good is the man whom the Lord praises.

bwe@2Corinthians:11:5 @ But I really do not think that the chief apostles are any better than I am!

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:11:19 @ 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:11:20 @ I am ashamed, but I must say that we were too weak to be like that! Anything that others want to be proud of, I can talk about too. And yet it is really foolish to do so.

bwe@2Corinthians:11:24 @ Three times people beat me with sticks, and once they threw rocks at me. Three times I was in a boat when it broke in the sea. I have been in the water all one night and day.

bwe@2Corinthians:11:27 @ Beside all other things, my heart is troubled about the churches. That is a load I carry every day.

bwe@2Corinthians:11:28 @ When anyone is weak, I am weak too. When anyone is made to fall away, my heart burns within me

bwe@2Corinthians:11:32 @ But I sat in a basket. Then it was put out through a window in the wall and was let down. And so I got away from him.

bwe@2Corinthians:12:10 @ 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:12:15 @ 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:12:18 @ 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:13:8 @ After all, we have no power to work against what is true, but only for the truth.

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:1:1 @ I am Paul the apostle, a messenger from God. Men did not call me to be an apostle. Men did not make me an apostle. Jesus Christ and God the Father made me an apostle. It was the same God the Father who raised Jesus from death.

bwe@Galatians:1:2 @ All the Christian brothers who are with me and I, send greetings. To the churches in the province of Galatia:

bwe@Galatians:1:5 @ All the praise for this belongs to God for ever and ever. Yes, it does!

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:1:15 @ But God chose me to be an apostle before I was born. And he called me by his love.

bwe@Galatians:2:7 @ No, the leaders saw that God called me to take the good news to those who are not circumcised <FI>not Jews<Fi>, just as he called Peter to take the good news to those who are circumcised <FI>Jews<Fi>.

bwe@Galatians:2:11 @ One day Peter came to the city of Antioch. Then I had to tell him face to face that he had done wrong. He really was wrong!

bwe@Galatians:2:13 @ All the other Jewish Christians did the same as Peter did. They acted as if it was not right to eat with those who were not Jews. Even Barnabas did the same.

bwe@Galatians:2:14 @ 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:2:16 @ Yet we know that God does not call a man good because he tries to obey the law of the Jews. But we know that God puts a man right because he believes in Jesus Christ. So we also believed in Jesus Christ. And we are put right with God because we believe in Christ and not because we obey the law. No person will ever be called good by God just because he tries to obey the law of the Jews.

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:3:3 @ 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:3:6 @ So it was with Abraham. The holy writings say He believed God, and that was why God called him a good man.

bwe@Galatians:3:8 @ The holy writings say that he will put people right with himself if they believe him, even those who are not Jews. It was written down before God did it. The holy writings told the good news to Abraham ahead of time. It said, God will make you a blessing to all nations and people.

bwe@Galatians:3:10 @ A curse is on all people who are trying to become good by obeying the law. The holy writings say, Everyone is cursed who does not always obey everything that is written in the book of the law and do it.

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:4:1 @ Here is what I mean. When a man dies, his son is to receive his property. As long as the son is not grown up, he cannot have it. He has no more right than a servant, even though he really owns all the property.

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

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:5:3 @ Again I say to every man who is circumcised, he must obey all the law.

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

bwe@Galatians:5:9 @ Even a little yeast makes all the bread rise.

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:6:6 @ People are taught the word of God. They should give some of all the good things they have to those who teach them.

bwe@Galatians:6:10 @ So then, when we can, we should do good to all people. But most of all, we should do it to those who are in Gods family.

bwe@Galatians:6:16 @ May all who live by this rule have peace. And may God bless them. They are the true people of Israel and they belong to God.

bwe@Ephesians:1:10 @ When the right time came, God planned to bring together everything in heaven and on earth, and make Christ head of them all.

bwe@Ephesians:1:11 @ In and through Christ we will have a share in all that belongs to him. Long ago God chose us for this. And he makes things happen that he wants to do.

bwe@Ephesians:1:14 @ The Holy Spirit is the first part of what we are to receive from God. This proves that we will get all God has promised. Some day we shall have them all. Praise God! He is very great and wonderful. 15,

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:1:17 @ 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:1:21 @ And God has put all things under Christ. He has made him the head of the church people in all matters.

bwe@Ephesians:1:22 @ The church <FI>all the people who believe in Jesus Christ<Fi> is his body. The church people have everything that Christ has. He is the One who is in everything everywhere.

bwe@Ephesians:2:3 @ At one time we too all lived like them. We lived to please ourselves. We did what our bodies and our minds wanted us to do. We were people with whom God was angry, just like other people.

bwe@Ephesians:2:7 @ He did this to show us in all times to come how much he can bless people and how kind he is. It was Jesus Christ who brought this kindness to us.

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

bwe@Ephesians:2:14 @ Christ has made peace between us. He has brought both Jews and non-Jews together into one people. He has broken down the wall that divided us.

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:3:8 @ I am less than the least of all Gods people, and yet he blessed me. It is my work to tell those who are not Jews about the wonderful blessings of Christ. There are so many that we cannot know them all.

bwe@Ephesians:3:9 @ God has blessed me so that I might tell all people plainly what his plan is. God, who made all things, did not tell anyone about his plan in all the times in the past.

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: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:4:2 @ Do not be proud at all. Be very humble. Love one another and be patient with each other.

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:4:6 @ There is one God and Father of us all. He is over all. He works through all. And he is living in us all.

bwe@Ephesians:4:10 @ The one who came down is the same one who went up higher than all the heavens. He did this so that he would be everywhere.

bwe@Ephesians:4:13 @ The gifts are given so that we will all believe the one way and all know the Son of God. They are given so that we will be really grown-up Christians, like Christ himself.

bwe@Ephesians:4:15 @ We must say what is true and say it with love. In that way we will grow up in all things to be like Christ, who is the head of this body.

bwe@Ephesians:4:25 @ So stop telling lies. Tell the truth to each other. We all are parts of the same body.

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:5:9 @ People who have the light do all that is good and right and true.

bwe@Ephesians:5:20 @ Always thank God the Father for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

bwe@Ephesians:5:31 @ The holy writings say For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother. He shall be joined to his wife, and the two of them shall be like one person.

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:6:4 @ 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:6:9 @ Last of all, I say this. Be strong in the Lord and use the strength he gives.

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:6:17 @ 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:6:23 @ May the kindness of God bless all who love our Lord Jesus Christ.

bwe@Philippians:1:1 @ We, Paul and Timothy, are servants of Christ Jesus. We send greetings to all of Gods people who belong to Christ Jesus and who live in the city of Philippi. We send greetings to the leaders of the church people and those who have been chosen to help them.

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:1:13 @ All the soldiers here and all the other people know that I am in prison because of Christ.

bwe@Philippians:1:20 @ I look forward to this very much and hope that I will not be ashamed at all. But I want to be very strong. I want to bring honour to Christ now as I always have. I can do this if I live or die.

bwe@Philippians:1:21 @ All I live for is Christ, and to die would give me more blessing.

bwe@Philippians:1:22 @ If I keep on living, then I will keep on doing my good work. I really do not know which I want more, to live or to die.

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: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:2:2 @ Then make me very, very happy. Live in happiness with one another. Have the same love for each other. Think the same way. Agree together about things. All have one purpose in mind.

bwe@Philippians:2:21 @ All the other people think only of themselves and not of Jesus Christ.

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:3:6 @ I was so full of my own ideas that I sent Christians to prison. But I was a good man in the way the Jewish law calls a man good.

bwe@Philippians:3:7 @ But all these things that might have helped me, I call them all nothing, because of Christ.

bwe@Philippians:3:8 @ Yes, I call them all nothing, because to know Christ Jesus my Lord is much better. It is for his sake that I have given them all up and call them just dirt. I have lost them but gained Christ.

bwe@Philippians:3:9 @ I do it so that I will belong to him. I do not want to be called good because of the Jewish law. But I want to be made good by believing in Christ. I want to be put right with God through faith alone.

bwe@Philippians:3:13 @ My brothers, I do not yet think that I have got all the things of Christ. But there is one thing that I am doing. I forget what is behind me and reach out to what is ahead of me.

bwe@Philippians:3:14 @ Like a man running a race, I try hard to reach the line so that I will receive the prize. Because we belong to Christ Jesus, God is calling us to receive this prize that he has for us in heaven.

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:3:21 @ He will change our body which was made for this world. He will make it like his own wonderful body. He will do this by his power to make all things obey him.

bwe@Philippians:4:12 @ I can do all things because Christ gives me strength.

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:4:21 @ 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:1:4 @ We have heard that you believe in Christ Jesus and love all of Gods people.

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:1:16 @ He made everything in the sky and on the earth. He made the things which can be seen and the things which cannot be seen. That means angels, kings, great powers, and rulers. They were all made by him and for him.

bwe@Colossians:1:17 @ He himself was before all things. And he holds all things together.

bwe@Colossians:1:20 @ And God chose him to be the one who would bring all things back to himself. God made peace by the blood which Christ gave on his cross. He would bring back all things on earth and in heaven.

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:1:26 @ This message is about the secret plan of God. People who lived in all the past times of the world did not know about this plan. But now it has been told to Gods people.

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:1:28 @ We tell about him. We tell everyone to be careful to live in the right way. We teach everyone all he needs to know. We do this so that we can bring everyone before God and he will be grown up in the things of Christ.

bwe@Colossians:1:29 @ And I am working for this with all the strength that God gives me.

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:2:3 @ All the wonderful things there are to know about the plan are found in Christ.

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:2:11 @ 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:2:13 @ 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:2:14 @ He wiped out all the things that were written against us in the laws. He took the writing away and nailed it to a cross.

bwe@Colossians:2:15 @ He won the victory over powers and rulers. He showed that they had no power at all. He showed the world his victory through the cross.

bwe@Colossians:2:22 @ All such things are gone as soon as they are used. These are laws made and taught by men.

bwe@Colossians:2:23 @ These laws look as if they are good laws. They make a show of doing things for God. They make people humble themselves in some way. They make people control their bodies in certain ways. But they have no power to keep people from doing all the wrong things they want to do.

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:3:11 @ In this new person, there is no difference between a Greek and a Jew. There is no difference between a man who is circumcised with the mark of the Jew and a man who is not circumcised. There is no difference between a person from a friendly country or someone from a country which is not friendly. There is no difference between a slave and a person who is free. Christ is everything and is in all of them.

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:3:22 @ 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: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:4:9 @ 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:4:12 @ 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:4:17 @ Tell Archippus, See that you do all the work which the Lord has given you to do.

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

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:2:15 @ The Jewish leaders killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets. And they drove us out of their country. They do not please God and they are against all other people.

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

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:4:6 @ 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:4:10 @ 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:5:3 @ When people are saying, Everything is quiet and safe, they will be destroyed. It will all happen very quickly. And there will be no way out. It will be like the pain that a woman has when a child is born.

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:5:11 @ 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:5:12 @ Do not let anyone do a wrong thing to a person if that person did a wrong thing to him. Always do good to one another. Be good to each other and to all men.

bwe@1Thessalonians:5:14 @ Talk to God at all times.

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:5:23 @ Greet all the brothers with a kiss that is holy.

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

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:1:10 @ 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:2:12 @ They will all be judged. I mean the people who have not believed in the true message but who wanted to do what is wrong.

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: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:3:16 @ 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:3:17 @ I, Paul, write these words of greeting with my own hand. This is the sign in all my letters that I wrote them.

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

bwe@1Timothy:1:15 @ These are true words and everyone should believe them. Christ Jesus came into the world to save bad people. And I am the worst of all.

bwe@1Timothy:2:1 @ First of all, I want Gods people to do this. They must talk to God for all the people. They must ask God to help them. They must ask God to give them what they need. They must thank God for all that he gives them.

bwe@1Timothy:2:2 @ They must talk to God for all the kings and all rulers. They must do this so that we may live in peace and quiet, so that we may please God and do what is right.

bwe@1Timothy:2:4 @ He wants all people to be saved and to know what is true.

bwe@1Timothy:2:5 @ There is one God. There is also one man who can open the way between God and all people. That man is Christ Jesus.

bwe@1Timothy:2:6 @ He gave his life to set all men free. This matter was told at the right time.

bwe@1Timothy:2:12 @ I do not allow any woman to teach or to rule over a man. She must remain quiet.

bwe@1Timothy:3:7 @ People who are not church people must also speak well of a church leader, so that he will not fall into the devils trap.

bwe@1Timothy:3:11 @ In the same way, their wives must be women whom people respect. They must not tell lies about anyone. They must be able to control themselves. They must live so that people can trust them in all things.

bwe@1Timothy:3:16 @ Gods plan is very great as we all know. Here it is: we saw God as a man; Gods Spirit proved he was right; angels saw him; the nations were told about him; people of the world believed in him; God took him up into heaven.

bwe@1Timothy:4:4 @ Everything that God has made for food is good. It is all right to eat it if people thank God for it.

bwe@1Timothy:4:8 @ To make the body strong helps a little, but the things of God help us in all ways. The things of God promise us life now and life in heaven.

bwe@1Timothy:4:10 @ That is why we work hard and put up with troubles. We trust in the living God who came to save all people. He makes a way for those who believe in him.

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:5:6 @ But a woman who spends her time in pleasing herself is really dead, even while she still lives.

bwe@1Timothy:5:20 @ Talk to those who live a wrong life and tell them to stop it. Talk to them in front of all the church members. Then the others will be afraid to do it.

bwe@1Timothy:6:2 @ Those who work for Christian masters should not take life easy just because the person they work for is a Christian. They should work all the better because they are loved by them. Teach these things and tell people to do them.

bwe@1Timothy:6:10 @ Because people love money they do all kinds of wrong things. Some people have stopped believing in God because they want money so much. And it brings them many troubles.

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:6:15 @ At the right time God will bring Christ back. Praise God! He alone is ruler. He is King over all kings, and Lord over all lords.

bwe@1Timothy:6:17 @ Tell the rich people in this world not to be proud. Tell them to trust in God not in short-lived riches. He gives us richly all things to make us happy.

bwe@1Timothy:6:19 @ In this way they will store up good things for themselves for the time to come. Then they will get that life which really is the true life.

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

bwe@2Timothy:1:4 @ 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:1:9 @ God saved us and called us to live a holy life. He did not do it because of the good things we have done. He did it because he himself planned to do it, and wanted to do it. That was the blessing he gave us in Christ Jesus. He had this plan before he made the world.

bwe@2Timothy:1:15 @ 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:2:10 @ That is why I bear all my trouble for the sake of Gods chosen people. I do it so that they also may be saved by Christ Jesus and be made great for ever.

bwe@2Timothy:2:11 @ These are true words: If we died with Christ, we shall also live with him.

bwe@2Timothy:2:12 @ If we bear all our troubles, we shall also rule with him. If we say we do not know him, then he will also say he does not know us.

bwe@2Timothy:2:19 @ But the truth of God stands strong. It cannot change. These words are sure: The Lord knows the people who belong to him and, Let all those who use the name of the Lord stop their wrong ways.

bwe@2Timothy:2:20 @ In a large house there are many pots. They are not all made of gold and silver. Some are made of wood, and some of earth. Some are used for fine things and some are used for things that are not so fine.

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:2:24 @ The Lords servant must not fight. But he must be kind to all people. He must be a good teacher to them. He must be patient with them.

bwe@2Timothy:3:7 @ They are always trying to learn, but never able to find out what is really true.

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:3:12 @ Yes, all who want to live a good life in Christ Jesus will be troubled by other people.

bwe@2Timothy:3:16 @ All that is written in the holy writings comes from the Spirit of God. The holy writings are good for these things: to teach people, to show them when they are wrong, to make them see what is right, to teach them to do what is right.

bwe@2Timothy:3:17 @ In this way a person who belongs to God has all he needs. He is ready for every kind of good work.

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:4:8 @ From now on, my reward is waiting for me, because I have done what is right. The Lord will repay me on the day when he comes back. He judges the right way. I will not be the only one to get a reward from him. But he will repay all those who want very much to see him.

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:4:16 @ The first time I spoke for myself in court, no one was on my side. All left me. I hope that God will forgive them.

bwe@2Timothy:4:17 @ But the Lord was with me. He gave me strength to tell the message. All those who are not Jews heard it. And I was saved out of the mouth of the lion.

bwe@2Timothy:4:21 @ 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@Titus:1:14 @ All things are clean to those who have a clean mind. But nothing is clean to those who do wrong things and do not believe. Their minds and their hearts are full of wrong things.

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:2:10 @ They must not steal, but be very honest so the person they work for can trust them. In all things they must show that the teaching about God our Saviour is good.

bwe@Titus:2:11 @ Gods loving kindness has come. It is through that blessing that all men are saved.

bwe@Titus:2:13 @ All this is while we wait and hope to see the one who brings blessing. We are waiting for our great God to come in Jesus Christ. He is the One who will save us. He is wonderful!

bwe@Titus:2:14 @ Christ gave himself for us so that he might make us free from all that is wrong. He gave himself to make us into clean people who belong to him and want to do good.

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:3:12 @ 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:1:5 @ I have heard that you love all of Gods people and that you believe in our Lord Jesus Christ.

bwe@Philemon:1:24 @ Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke are working with me. They all send greetings too.

bwe@Hebrews:1:2 @ In these last days, he talked to us through his Son. God chose him to be the one to whom he would give all things. God also made the world by this Son.

bwe@Hebrews:1:6 @ When God brings his first-born Son into the world, he says, All of Gods angels must worship him.

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:1:14 @ Are not all the angels spirits that help? They are sent out to help the people who will be saved.

bwe@Hebrews:2:11 @ Jesus, who makes people holy, and those who are made holy, all have one Father in heaven. That is why Jesus is not ashamed to call them his brothers.

bwe@Hebrews:2:14 @ Gods children all have a body. That is why Jesus himself had the same. But because Jesus also had a body, he was able to die and stop the devil. The devil has power to make people die. But Jesus, by his own death, was able to stop the power of death.

bwe@Hebrews:2:15 @ People were afraid to die. All their lives they were like slaves. When Jesus died, he was able to set them free from their fear.

bwe@Hebrews: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:3:4 @ Every house is built by someone, but God is the one who builds all things.

bwe@Hebrews:3:5 @ Moses did what he was told to do as a servant in all of Gods house. He showed things that God would say later.

bwe@Hebrews:3:16 @ Who were the people who heard him and yet made him very angry? It was all the people whom Moses led out of the country of Egypt.

bwe@Hebrews:4:4 @ Here is what he said, somewhere in the holy writings, about the seventh day: And God rested on the seventh day after doing all his work.

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:5:4 @ No one chooses himself to be high priest. But God calls him, just as he called Aaron.

bwe@Hebrews:5:7 @ When Jesus was a man, he talked to God who was able to save him from death. He called loudly to him with tears. God heard him because he honoured and respected God.

bwe@Hebrews:5:9 @ When he became perfect, he saved for ever all who obeyed him.

bwe@Hebrews:5:10 @ God called him a high priest like Melchizedek was a priest.

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:7:1 @ Melchizedek was king of the city of Salem. He was a priest of God who is the greatest of all. Melchizedek met Abraham when Abraham came back from killing some bad kings. And Melchizedek blessed him.

bwe@Hebrews:7:2 @ Abraham divided all that he took away from the kings into ten parts. He gave Melchizedek one part. First, the name Melchizedek means the king who is true and right with God. Then he was king of Salem. That means king of peace.

bwe@Hebrews:7:4 @ Just think how great he was! Even Abraham, the father of our people, gave him a tenth, one part out of ten, of all he brought back.

bwe@Hebrews:7:28 @ The law makes men high priests, and they are weak. But the word of Gods promise came after the law. It makes his Son high priest for ever, and he is all right.

bwe@Hebrews:8:7 @ If the first agreement had been all right, there would have been no need to make another.

bwe@Hebrews:9:2 @ A house was made. In the first part of the house were the light, the table, and the bread of God. This first part was called the Holy Place.

bwe@Hebrews:9:3 @ The next part of the house was called the Most Holy Place.

bwe@Hebrews:9:4 @ In the Most Holy Place was a pan made of gold. In this pan a fire could burn to make a sweet-smelling smoke. The box of the agreement was also in the Most Holy Place. It was covered all over with gold. In this box were: the golden pot, which had some of the food God sent from heaven for the people in the desert; Aarons stick which grew flowers on it; and the stones which had Gods agreement written on them.

bwe@Hebrews:9:15 @ That is why he is the middle man of a new agreement. He died and paid for the wrong things that were done under the first agreement. Because he is a middle man, those people who are called by God can have what he promised. This will belong to them for ever.

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:9:21 @ In the same way, he put some of the blood on the house he had made for God, and on all the things that were used in worship.

bwe@Hebrews:10:1 @ The law can show only a little about the good things that are coming. It cannot show the good things themselves. People come to worship God. But the law can never make them all right by the same sacrifices that are brought every year.

bwe@Hebrews:10:2 @ If the law could make people all right, they would stop making sacrifices. The people who come to worship would be made clean for all time, and they would not remember the wrong things they had done.

bwe@Hebrews:10:14 @ By one sacrifice Christ has made right for ever all those people who are being made holy.

bwe@Hebrews:10:20 @ He made a new and living way for us. He opened up Gods way specially for us. It lets us through the big curtain or cloth which hides God from us. This happened when Jesus gave his body as a sacrifice.

bwe@Hebrews:10:22 @ So let us come to him with a true heart. Let us come because we believe all these things. Let us come with our hearts washed clean from our wrong ways. Let us come with our bodies washed with clean water.

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:10:29 @ But the person who should have much bigger punishment is the one who turns against the Son of God. That person was made holy by the blood of the new agreement and then calls it nothing. He no longer honours and respects the Spirit who has been so kind to him.

bwe@Hebrews:11:6 @ If a person does not believe God, he cannot please him. Anyone who comes to God must believe that God is real. And he must believe that God will bless those who try to find him. God will reward a person, if he really tries to find God.

bwe@Hebrews:11:8 @ God called Abraham to go away to a place which he would have as his own. Because Abraham believed God, he obeyed him. He went even though he did not know where he was to go.

bwe@Hebrews:11:13 @ These people all died still believing God. They did not get the things God had promised them. But they saw them far away and were glad to see them. They said they did not belong to this world, but were only travelling in it.

bwe@Hebrews:11:16 @ But now they want a better country. They want a place in heaven. That is why God wants to be called their God. He has made a city ready for them.

bwe@Hebrews:11:18 @ God had said to Abraham, Isaacs children will be called your family.

bwe@Hebrews:11:24 @ Moses believed God. When he was grown up, he did not want to be called the son of Pharaohs daughter.

bwe@Hebrews:11:30 @ The people believed God and walked around the walls of the city of Jericho for seven days. The walls fell down.

bwe@Hebrews:11:35 @ Women had children who died and were raised to life again. Some people allowed themselves to be beaten to death. They would not go free because they wanted to rise again to a better life.

bwe@Hebrews:11:38 @ They were really too good to be in this world. They walked about in the desert and in the mountains, and in the holes in the hills and in the holes among the rocks on the earth.

bwe@Hebrews:11:39 @ All of these people had good things said about them because they believed God. But they did not get what God had promised.

bwe@Hebrews:12:1 @ We have all these people all around us, proving to us that we should believe God. So then, like people running a race, we must take off everything that is heavy. We must put off all wrong, wrong things that get in our way. We must not stop running until we reach the mark that has been put in front of us.

bwe@Hebrews:12:14 @ Try to be at peace with all people. And try to be holy. If a person is not holy, he will not see the Lord.

bwe@Hebrews:12:16 @ Take care that no one takes part in wrong ways of using sex. And take care that no one is like Esau and forgets God. He was the older son. But he sold all that he would get from his father. He sold it for a little food.

bwe@Hebrews:12:21 @ Moses was afraid when he saw all this. He said, I fear very much and I tremble.

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:13:9 @ Do not listen to all kinds of different teaching and strange things. It is better to have a heart that is strong because of Gods blessing than a heart that is thinking about different kinds of food. Different kinds of food do not help people who put their trust in them.

bwe@Hebrews:13:15 @ Let us always give a sacrifice of praise to God through Jesus. We do it by thanking him for all that he has done and also by talking about him. That is the sacrifice we make with our lips to his name.

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:1:1 @ I am James. I am a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ. I send greetings to all of Gods people wherever they live.

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:1:11 @ The sun shines and is very hot. Then the grass dries and its flower falls off. It was nice at first, but now it is not nice any more. In the same way, the rich man will die while he is going around trying to make money.

bwe@James:1:17 @ Every good thing and every fine gift comes from heaven. It comes from the Father of all light. He does not change and he makes no shadow by turning.

bwe@James:1:18 @ He made us his children because he wanted us. He made us his children by giving us his true word. He made us his children so that we would be the first and best of all he made.

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:1:25 @ But there is a law that is all right. It sets people free from their old ways. Anyone who looks into that law and remembers it, is happy because he obeys the law. He does not just listen to the law and forget it, but he obeys what the law says.

bwe@James:2:10 @ Anyone who obeys the law, but then breaks one of the laws, has broken all the laws.

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:2:21 @ Look at Abraham. God called our father Abraham a good man. This was because he gave his son Isaac to God on the holy table for a sacrifice.

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:2:23 @ The words of the holy writings came true. They say, Abraham believed God. And he was called a good man because of it. In another place he was called Gods friend.

bwe@James:2:25 @ Rahab was a bad woman. But in the same way God called her a good woman because of something she did. She took the men into her house and then let them go out another way.

bwe@James:3:2 @ We all do many wrong things. Any man who never says anything wrong is right in every way. He is able to make his whole body do what is right.

bwe@James:3:4 @ Look at the big boats also. They are very big. The strong winds push them along. But a man uses a small piece of wood and makes the boat go where he wants it to go.

bwe@James:3:5 @ A persons tongue is like that. It is a small part of the body but it talks about big things. A very small fire can burn a big pile of wood!

bwe@James:3:7 @ People have been able to tame all kinds of animals, birds, snakes, and fish.

bwe@James:3:17 @ First of all, when God makes people wise, they are holy. They do not fight. They are gentle. They listen to what other people say. They are very kind and do many good things. They do not quarrel. They do not say what is not true.

bwe@James:4:16 @ But now you talk about the big things you will do. All that kind of talk is wrong!

bwe@James:5:3 @ 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:5:14 @ 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@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:1:7 @ 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:1:13 @ So think clearly. Keep awake. When Jesus Christ comes, he will bring you blessing. Set all your hope on that.

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:1:17 @ 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:1:22 @ 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:1:24 @ The holy writings say, People may be great. But they are like a flower on the grass. The grass dies and the flower falls off.

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:2:8 @ 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:2:12 @ Obey every officer of the government to please the Lord. Obey the king because he is over all.

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:2:20 @ 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: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:3:8 @ 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:3:17 @ It is better to have trouble for doing right, if God allows it, than to have trouble for doing wrong.

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:4:19 @ If God allows you to suffer, trust him. He made you and you can trust him. But keep on doing good things.

bwe@1Peter:5:4 @ 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:5:7 @ Turn all your troubles over to him, because he cares for you and is watching over you.

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:5:14 @ Greet one another with a kiss of love. May all of you who are Christians have peace.

bwe@2Peter:1:3 @ Christ is God and by his own power he has given us everything that we need to live and to please God. He has given this to us because we know him, and he has called us because he is great and good.

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:2:10 @ Most of all, he will punish people who do the wrong things they want to do and who will not obey the men who rule over them. They are very bold and proud. They do not fear to say wrong things about those who are great, even about the angels.

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:3:14 @ 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:3:16 @ He also tells about them in all his letters. Some things in his letters are hard to understand. Some people do not know about these things and they are not strong in their faith. They change the meaning of the things Paul wrote. They do this to other things in the holy writings also. Because they do this, they will die.

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:1:7 @ Do we live in the light, as God is in the light? Then we belong with others who belong to him. And the blood of the death of Jesus Christ makes us clean from all the wrong things we have done.

bwe@1John:1:9 @ Let us tell God about our wrong ways. God can be trusted. He does what is right. He will forgive us for the wrong things we have done. He will make us clean from all that was wrong.

bwe@1John:2:2 @ He himself is the sacrifice God offered to pay for the wrong we have done. And he pays for the wrong things all people in all the world have done.

bwe@1John:2:5 @ But if any man obeys his word, he really loves God. Here is the way that we may be sure that we belong to him.

bwe@1John:2:16 @ Nothing in the world comes from the Father. I mean the wrong things people like to do with their bodies. I mean the things people see and want to have. I mean all the things people are proud of in this life. These things come from the world, not the Father.

bwe@1John:2:17 @ And the world will go away and all the things in it that people like to do. But the person who does what God wants him to do will live for ever.

bwe@1John:2:19 @ They left us, but they did not belong with us. If they had belonged with us, they would have stayed with us. But they left us so that people could see that all of them did not belong with us.

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:3:1 @ See how much the Father has loved us! We are called Gods children. It is true, we are Gods children. People in this world did not know him and so they do not know us.

bwe@1John:3:2 @ My dear brothers, we are Gods children now. No one knows yet what we shall be like. But we know that when Jesus comes, we will be like him. We will see him as he really is.

bwe@1John:3:18 @ My children, we must not only talk about loving people; we must show we love people by what we do for them. We must really love them.

bwe@1John:5:8 @ There are three on earth who prove it is true. They are the spirit, the water, and the blood. These three all prove the same thing.

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:1:8 @ Watch out for yourselves! Do not lose what you have worked for, but receive all the reward that you should have.

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:1:8 @ So if I come, I will show what he is doing. He is saying wrong things about us. And that is not all. He does not take our brothers into his own home. And he stops other people who want to take them in. He will not let them be church members any longer.

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@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:1:3 @ 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:1:13 @ These men are like big waves on the sea. Big waves cause much trouble. And these men also show the wrong things they do. They are like stars that have fallen from their place in the sky. A very dark place has been kept for ever in which to put these men.

bwe@Jude:1:15 @ He came to judge all people and to punish all the bad people for all the wrong things they have done. And he came to punish bad people for all the wrong things that they have said against him.

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.
