nsb@Matthew:1:2 @ Abraham was the father of Isaac, Isaac the father of Jacob, Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers.

nsb@Matthew:1:11 @ Josiah was the father of Jechoniah and his brothers. They lived at the time when the people were exiled to Babylon.

nsb@Matthew:1:18 @ The birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: His mother Mary had been promised to Joseph in marriage. But before they were married, Mary realized that she was pregnant by Holy Spirit.

nsb@Matthew:1:20 @ Joseph had this in mind when God’s angel appeared to him in a dream. The angel said to him: »Joseph, descendant of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife. She is pregnant by Holy Spirit.

nsb@Matthew:1:21 @ »She will give birth to a son, and you will name him Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.«

nsb@Matthew:1:22 @ All this happened so that what God spoke through the prophet came true:

nsb@Matthew:1:24 @ When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of God had commanded him to do. He took Mary to be his wife.

nsb@Matthew:2:2 @ They asked: »Where is the newborn king of the Jews? We saw his star in the east and came to offer him praise.«

nsb@Matthew:2:3 @ King Herod was troubled when he heard this. Jerusalem was also troubled.

nsb@Matthew:2:5 @ »Bethlehem in Judea,« they answered. This is what the prophet wrote:

nsb@Matthew:2:14 @ Joseph took the child and his mother to Egypt.

nsb@Matthew:2:16 @ Herod saw that the astrologers tricked him and he was furious. He sent soldiers to kill all the boys two years old and younger in or near Bethlehem. This matched the time he learned from the astrologers.

nsb@Matthew:2:21 @ Joseph took the child and his mother to Israel.

nsb@Matthew:4:8 @ This time the Devil took Jesus to an extremely high mountain. He showed him all the kingdoms of the world with all their greatness.

nsb@Matthew:4:9 @ »I will give all this to you,« the Devil told Jesus, »if you kneel down and worship me.«

nsb@Matthew:4:17 @ From that time on Jesus preached this message: »Repent for the Kingdom of heaven is near.«

nsb@Matthew:5:2 @ He opened his mouth and taught them:

nsb@Matthew:5:22 @ »Now I tell you that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be guilty before the court.

nsb@Matthew:5:28 @ »However, I tell you that whoever looks at a woman with lustful thoughts commits adultery with her in his heart.

nsb@Matthew:5:31 @ »Again, it was said, ‘Whoever gets rid of his wife has to give her a certificate of divorce.’

nsb@Matthew:5:32 @ »I say to you that everyone divorcing his wife, except for the reason of fornication, makes her liable to commit adultery. And if she marries again, the man she marries also commits adultery.

nsb@Matthew:5:35 @ »Not by earth, for it is the footstool under His feet. Not by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.

nsb@Matthew:5:37 @ »Let your answer be ‘Yes’ or ‘No.’ Anything more than this is from the evil one.

nsb@Matthew:6:2 @ »Do not loudly announce it when you give to the poor. The hypocrites do this in the houses of worship and on the streets. They do this to be praised by men. Believe me, they have already been paid in full.

nsb@Matthew:7:16 @ »By their fruits you will know them. Do men get grapes from thorns or figs from thistles?

nsb@Matthew:7:24 @ »Everyone who hears my words, and does them is like a wise man that builds his house on a rock.

nsb@Matthew:7:26 @ »Every one who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand.

nsb@Matthew:8:3 @ He reached out his hand and touched him, saying: »I want to. Be made clean.« Right away his leprosy was cleansed.

nsb@Matthew:8:27 @ The disciples were in awe. They asked: »What kind of man is this, for even the winds and the sea obey him?«

nsb@Matthew:9:1 @ Jesus entered a boat and crossed over to his own city, on the other side of the lake.

nsb@Matthew:9:3 @ Some of the scribes said among themselves: »This man has no respect for God.«

nsb@Matthew:9:7 @ He arose, and departed to his house.

nsb@Matthew:9:9 @ Jesus moved on. He then saw Matthew seated at his work collecting taxes. He said to him: »Follow me.« He rose and followed him.

nsb@Matthew:9:10 @ Jesus was a dinner guest at Matthew’s house. Many tax collectors and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples.

nsb@Matthew:9:11 @ When the Pharisees saw it, they asked his disciples: »Why does your Teacher eat with the tax collectors and sinners?«

nsb@Matthew:9:13 @ »You should learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice’; for I came, not to call the righteous, but sinners.«

nsb@Matthew:9:19 @ Jesus and his disciples got up and followed him.

nsb@Matthew:9:20 @ A woman who had a hemorrhage for twelve years came behind him. She touched the border of his garment.

nsb@Matthew:9:21 @ She said to herself: »If I touch his garment, I will be healed.«

nsb@Matthew:10:24 @ »A disciple is not greater than his teacher, nor a servant his master.

nsb@Matthew:10:25 @ »It is enough for the disciple that he is like his teacher, and the servant like his master. If they called the master of the house Beelzebub, others of the household could also be called the same!

nsb@Matthew:10:35 @ »My coming will cause a separation. A man will be against his father and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.

nsb@Matthew:11:16 @ »Of what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces, who call to their playmates.

nsb@Matthew:11:20 @ Then he denounced the cities where most of his mighty works were done, because they did not repent.

nsb@Matthew:11:23 @ »Will you, Capernaum, be exalted into heaven? You will go down into the grave. If the mighty works had been done in Sodom, which were done in you, it would have remained until this day.

nsb@Matthew:12:1 @ Jesus’ disciples were hungry. It was Sabbath day and yet Jesus and his disciples went through the grain fields plucking ears and eating them.

nsb@Matthew:12:3 @ He replied to them: »Have you read what David did when he and his companions were hungry?

nsb@Matthew:12:4 @ »He entered into the house of God, and he and his companions ate the showbread, which it was not lawful for them to eat. It was only lawful for the priests.

nsb@Matthew:12:24 @ When the Pharisees heard it, they said: »This man casts out demons by Beelzebub, the prince of the demons.«

nsb@Matthew:12:26 @ »If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How will his kingdom stand?

nsb@Matthew:12:29 @ »How can one enter into the house of a strong man and steal his things, except he first tie up the strong man? Then he can rob his house.

nsb@Matthew:12:45 @ »Then it takes along seven other spirits more evil than itself. They enter in and dwell there. The last state of that man becomes worse than the first. It will also be like this with this evil generation.«

nsb@Matthew:12:46 @ While Jesus was yet speaking to the crowds, his mother and his brothers stood nearby. They wanted to speak to him.

nsb@Matthew:12:49 @ He stretched out his hand towards his disciples, and said: »Behold, my mother and my brothers!

nsb@Matthew:13:15 @ »‘The heart of this people is callous and dull. Their ears are plugged. They cannot hear. They closed their eyes and cannot see. They cannot see nor hear nor understand with their heart. They should turn around and I would heal them.’

nsb@Matthew:13:19 @ »When anyone hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand, the evil one takes away that which was sown in his heart. This is what was sown by the roadside.

nsb@Matthew:13:22 @ »He that was sown among thorns hears the word. The cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.

nsb@Matthew:13:24 @ He told another illustration, saying: »The kingdom of heaven is like a man that sowed good seed in his field.

nsb@Matthew:13:25 @ »While he slept, his enemy came and sowed weeds with the wheat, and went away.

nsb@Matthew:13:28 @ »He replied: ‘An enemy did this.’ The servants offered to remove the weeds.

nsb@Matthew:13:31 @ In another illustration Jesus said: »The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man sowed in his field.

nsb@Matthew:13:36 @ Then he left the crowds and went into the house. His disciples gathered near him. They said: »Explain to us the illustration of the weeds in the field.«

nsb@Matthew:13:40 @ »The weeds are gathered up and burned with fire. It will be this way at the end of the age.

nsb@Matthew:13:41 @ »The Son of man will send his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all who stumble others and commit lawlessness.

nsb@Matthew:13:52 @ And he said to them: »Every scribe who has been made a disciple to the kingdom of heaven is like a man that is a householder, who brings out of his treasure things new and old.«

nsb@Matthew:13:54 @ He went to his own country and taught in the synagogue. They were astonished and asked where this man got this wisdom and these mighty works.

nsb@Matthew:13:55 @ »Is this man the carpenter’s son? Is his mother called Mary? Are his brothers James and Joseph, Simon, and Judas?

nsb@Matthew:13:56 @ »Are his sisters all with us? Where did he get all these things?«

nsb@Matthew:13:57 @ They resented him. But Jesus responded to them: »A prophet is without honor in his own country, and in his own house.«

nsb@Matthew:14:2 @ He told his servants: »This is John the Baptist, raised from the dead. That explains the power working in him.«

nsb@Matthew:14:3 @ Herod locked John in prison to please Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife.

nsb@Matthew:14:9 @ The king was grieved. He gave his oath and many were watching so he commanded that it be done.

nsb@Matthew:14:11 @ His head was brought on a platter to the young lady. She in turn gave it to her mother.

nsb@Matthew:14:13 @ When Jesus heard it, he left in a boat to a secluded place. The crowds heard this and followed him on foot from the cities.

nsb@Matthew:14:15 @ Evening came and the disciples approached Jesus and said: »This place is desolate. Send the people away so they may go to the villages and buy themselves food.«

nsb@Matthew:14:31 @ Suddenly, Jesus put out his hand and took hold of him, and said: »You of little faith, why were you in doubt?«

nsb@Matthew:14:36 @ They wanted to touch his robe to be made well.

nsb@Matthew:15:3 @ His answer to them was in the form of a question: »Why do you go against the word of God in favor of your tradition?

nsb@Matthew:15:5 @ »You teach that a man should tell his father or mother that what he has that could help them, is given to God.

nsb@Matthew:15:6 @ »You say there is no need for him to give honor to his father. You have invalidated the word of God because of your tradition!

nsb@Matthew:15:23 @ He did not answer her. His disciples said to him: »Send her away; she keeps shouting at us.«

nsb@Matthew:15:30 @ Many people came to him. They brought those who were lame, crippled, blind, mute, and many other people. They laid them down at his feet and he healed them.

nsb@Matthew:15:32 @ Jesus called his disciples and said: »I feel compassion for the people, because they have remained with me now three days and have nothing to eat. I do not want to send them away hungry, for they might faint on the way.«

nsb@Matthew:15:33 @ The disciples replied: »Where would we get so many loaves in this desolate place to satisfy such a large crowd?«

nsb@Matthew:16:8 @ Hearing this, Jesus said: »You of little faith, why are you reasoning among yourselves about not having bread?

nsb@Matthew:16:13 @ Jesus traveled to parts of Caesarea Philippi. He asked his disciples: »Who do men say that the Son of man is?«

nsb@Matthew:16:17 @ Jesus answered him: »Bless you, Simon son of John. This knowledge came from my Father in heaven and not from man.

nsb@Matthew:16:18 @ »You are Peter, and on this rock-mass I will build my congregation. The entrance to the grave will not have power to stop it.

nsb@Matthew:16:21 @ From that time forward Jesus made it clear to his disciples how he would have to go to Jerusalem. He told them he would undergo much at the hands of the authorities, including the chief priests and scribes. He let them know he would be put to death. The third day he would come back from the dead.

nsb@Matthew:16:24 @ Then Jesus told his disciples: »If any man wants to follow me, let him deny himself, and take up his stake and follow me.

nsb@Matthew:16:25 @ »He who wants to save his life will lose it. He who is willing to lose his life for my sake will find it.

nsb@Matthew:16:26 @ »What will a man profit, if he gains the whole world, and gives up his life? What will a man give in exchange for his life?

nsb@Matthew:16:27 @ »The Son of man will come in the glory of his Father with his angels. He will then reward each man according to his deeds.

nsb@Matthew:16:28 @ »I tell you truly, there are some that stand here who will not experience death till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.«

nsb@Matthew:17:1 @ After six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother up into a high mountain alone.

nsb@Matthew:17:2 @ While they watched, Jesus’ appearance changed in their presence. His face was as bright as the sun and his clothes became as white as the light.

nsb@Matthew:17:5 @ While he was still speaking, a bright cloud overshadowed them. A voice came out of the cloud, saying: »This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Listen to him.«

nsb@Matthew:17:10 @ His disciples asked him: »Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?«

nsb@Matthew:17:14 @ When they approached the people, a man fell to his knees before him, saying:

nsb@Matthew:17:20 @ He told them: »It was because of your lack of faith: Truly I say to you, if you have faith as small as a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, move and it will move. Nothing will be impossible to you.«

nsb@Matthew:18:4 @ »He who humbles himself to become like this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

nsb@Matthew:18:5 @ »Everyone who accepts this little child in my name accepts me.

nsb@Matthew:18:6 @ »He who causes one of my faithful little ones to stumble is in trouble. It would be better for him to end up in the deep sea with a great stone tied to his neck.

nsb@Matthew:18:15 @ »If your brother does wrong to you, go to him in private. Clearly explain his error between you and him. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother back.

nsb@Matthew:18:23 @ »The kingdom of heaven is like a king who went over his accounts with his servants.

nsb@Matthew:18:25 @ »He was not able to make payment. So his lord gave orders for him to be sold. His wife, sons, and daughters were all to be sold along with every possession. The money would be used for payment of what he owed.

nsb@Matthew:18:34 @ »His lord was angry and sent him to jail to be punished until he paid back all of his debt.

nsb@Matthew:19:3 @ Pharisees came to him. They tested him, asking: »Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason?«

nsb@Matthew:19:5 @ »For this reason, a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife. The two shall become one flesh.

nsb@Matthew:19:9 @ »I tell you, whoever divorces his wife, except for fornication, and marries another, commits adultery. And he who marries her when she is divorced, commits adultery.«

nsb@Matthew:19:10 @ The disciples said to him: »This being the case between a man and his wife, it is better not to marry.«

nsb@Matthew:19:11 @ He said: »This does not apply to everyone, only to those God has given it to.

nsb@Matthew:19:12 @ »For there are men who, from birth, were without sex. There are some who were made that way by men. There are others who have made themselves so for the kingdom of heaven. He who is able to accept this let him accept it.«

nsb@Matthew:19:13 @ Then some people brought little children to him. They wanted him to lay his hands on them and bless them. But the disciples tried to stop them.

nsb@Matthew:19:15 @ He put his hands on them, and then went on his way.

nsb@Matthew:19:23 @ Jesus said to his disciples: »Truly I tell you, it is hard for a man with much money to go into the kingdom of heaven.

nsb@Matthew:19:25 @ The disciples were greatly surprised when they heard this. »Who, then, may have salvation?« they asked.

nsb@Matthew:19:26 @ Jesus looked at them and said: »With men this is not possible. All things are possible with God!«

nsb@Matthew:19:28 @ Jesus replied: »Truly I say to you, when all things are made new, and the Son of man is seated in his glory, you who have come after me will be seated on twelve seats, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

nsb@Matthew:20:1 @ »The kingdom of heaven is like the master of a house, who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard.

nsb@Matthew:20:2 @ »He made an agreement with the workmen for a penny a day. Then he sent them into his vineyard.

nsb@Matthew:20:8 @ »When evening came, the lord of the vineyard said to his manager: ‘Let the workers come and pay them from the last to the first.’

nsb@Matthew:20:28 @ »The Son of man came not to be ministered to, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom in payment for many.«

nsb@Matthew:21:4 @ This took place so that the words of the prophet might come true:

nsb@Matthew:21:10 @ When he came to Jerusalem, the people were excited. They asked: »Who is this?«

nsb@Matthew:21:11 @ Other people said: »This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee.«

nsb@Matthew:21:15 @ The chief priests and the scribes saw the powerful works he did. They heard the children crying out in the Temple: »Glory to the son of David.« This made them very angry.

nsb@Matthew:21:19 @ He saw a fig tree along the side of the road. He went to it and saw nothing on it but leaves. He told it: »You will not bare fruit from this time forward, forever.« Immediately the fig tree became dry and dead.

nsb@Matthew:21:21 @ Jesus answered: »If you have faith and do not doubt, I make this promise to you: You will be able to do what was done to this fig tree. When you say to this mountain, be moved into the sea, it will be done.

nsb@Matthew:21:23 @ When he went into the Temple, the chief priests and those in authority over the people came to him while he was teaching. They asked: »By what authority do you do these things? Who gave you this authority?«

nsb@Matthew:21:29 @ »The first son said in answer, ‘I will not.’ Later he changed his mind and went to work.

nsb@Matthew:21:31 @ »Which of the two pleased his father?« They replied: »The first.« Jesus said to them: »I tell you, tax collectors and prostitutes will go into the kingdom of God before you.«

nsb@Matthew:21:32 @ »John came to you in the way of righteousness and you did not believe him. Even the tax collectors and prostitutes believed him. When you saw this, you did not regret your sins and did not have faith in him.

nsb@Matthew:21:34 @ »When the time for the fruit came near, he sent his servants to the workmen, to get the fruit.

nsb@Matthew:21:35 @ »The workmen attacked his servants, striking one with a stone and killing the other.

nsb@Matthew:21:37 @ »Finally he sent his son to them, saying, ‘Certainly they will respect my son.’

nsb@Matthew:21:38 @ »When the workmen saw the son, they said, ‘Let us put him to death and take his heritage, for someday he will own this property.’

nsb@Matthew:21:42 @ Jesus said to them: »Have you read the Scriptures, ‘The stone the builders rejected has been made the chief cornerstone of the building. This was Jehovah’s doing, and it is wonderful in our eyes.’ (Isaiah strkjv@28:16)

nsb@Matthew:21:43 @ »For this reason I tell you, The kingdom of God will be taken away from you. It will be given to a nation producing fruit.

nsb@Matthew:21:44 @ »Any man falling on this stone will be broken. Any man having this stone fall on him will be crushed to dust.«

nsb@Matthew:21:45 @ When the chief priests and Pharisees heard his illustrations they realized he was talking about them.

nsb@Matthew:22:2 @ »The kingdom of heaven is like a king who gave a wedding feast for his son.

nsb@Matthew:22:3 @ »He sent out his servants to invite guests to the feast, but they would not come.

nsb@John:2:23 @ When he was in Jerusalem at the Passover feast, many saw the signs he did and expressed active faith in his name.

nsb@John:2:24 @ Jesus did not trust his security to them for he understood all men.

nsb@John:6:16 @ That evening his disciples went to the sea.

nsb@John:6:22 @ The next day the crowd stood by the side of the sea. Jesus entered the only boat while his disciples went away alone.

nsb@John:6:24 @ When the crowd saw that Jesus and his disciples were not there they got into the boats and traveled to Capernaum seeking Jesus.

nsb@John:6:27 @ »Do not work for food that perishes but for food that offers everlasting life. The Son of man will give you this food. The Father, even God, has set his seal upon him.«

nsb@John:6:41 @ The Jews complained about him. This is because he said ‘I am the bread that came down out of heaven.’

nsb@John:6:42 @ They said: »Is Jesus the son of Joseph? We know his father and mother. How does he now say, I came down out of heaven?«

nsb@John:6:50 @ »This is the bread that comes down out of heaven that a man may eat of it and not die.

nsb@John:7:31 @ Many in the crowd believed in him. They asked: »When the Christ comes will he do more signs than those this man has done?«

nsb@John:7:32 @ The Pharisees heard the crowd whispering these things concerning him. The chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to capture him.

nsb@John:7:35 @ The Jews said among themselves: »Where will this man go that we shall not find him? Will he go to the Dispersion among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?

nsb@Romans:6:5 @ If we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we shall be in the likeness of his resurrection.

nsb@Romans:6:6 @ We know this that our old self was impaled with him that the body of sin might be destroyed, that we should no longer be in bondage to sin.

nsb@Romans:6:16 @ Do you not know that if you present yourselves to anyone as obedient servants you are his servants because you obey him? This could be obedience to sin with death in view or obedience to righteousness with holiness in view?

nsb@Romans:7:10 @ The commandment, which was to life, this I found to be to death.

nsb@Romans:7:13 @ Did that which is good become death to me? God forbid! It was sin, producing death in me through what is good. This way sin might be shown to be sin. Through the commandment sin could be recognized.

nsb@Romans:7:20 @ If I do what I do not want to do, this means that I am no longer the one who does it. Instead, it is the sin that lives in me.

nsb@Romans:7:21 @ I find that this law is at work. When I want to do what is good, what is evil is the only choice I have.

nsb@Romans:7:23 @ However I see a different law at work in my body. This law fights against the law that my mind approves of. It makes me a prisoner to the law of sin that is at work in my body.

nsb@Romans:7:24 @ Miserable man that I am! Who will rescue me from the body undergoing this death?

nsb@Romans:8:3 @ God did what the Law could not do, because human nature was weak. He sent his own son in the likeness of sinful man to be a sin offering and do away with sin. So he condemned sin in sinful human nature.

nsb@Romans:8:4 @ God did this so that the righteous requirements of the Law might be fully satisfied in us who live according to the Spirit, and not according to human nature.

nsb@Romans:8:7 @ This is because the mind of the flesh is hostile toward God. It is not subject to the law of God for it cannot be.

nsb@Romans:8:11 @ If the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from among the dead dwells with you, he who raised Christ from among the dead shall also make your mortal bodies alive. This is on account of his Spirit that dwells with you.

nsb@Romans:8:18 @ I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that will be revealed in us.

nsb@Romans:8:24 @ We are saved by this hope. But hope that is seen is not hope. For does a man hope for what he sees?

nsb@Romans:8:28 @ We know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose.

nsb@Romans:8:29 @ Those he first recognized, he ordained in advance that they be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.

nsb@Romans:8:32 @ He that did not spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, will he not with him freely give us all things?

nsb@Romans:9:9 @ The word of promise: »According to this time I will come and Sarah will have a son.«

nsb@Romans:9:17 @ The scripture says to Pharaoh: »For this reason I have raised you up, that I might through you, show my power and declare my name in all the earth.«

nsb@Romans:9:19 @ You say to me: »Why does he yet find fault? Who resists his purpose?«

nsb@Romans:9:20 @ Yes, but you, O man, who are you to answer back to God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it: »Why have you made me this way?« (Isaiah strkjv@45:9)

nsb@Romans:9:22 @ If God decided to show his wrath and make his power known, endured with much long-suffering vessels of wrath fit for destruction.

nsb@Romans:9:23 @ In that way he could make known the riches of his glory upon vessels of mercy that he had prepared in advance for glory.

nsb@Romans:10:6 @ But the righteousness of faith speaks this way: »Do not say in your heart: ‘who will ascend to heaven? That is, to bring Christ down;

nsb@Romans:11:1 @ I ask has God rejected his people? Certainly not! I also am an Israelite, a descendant of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

nsb@Romans:11:2 @ God has not rejected his people whom he first knew. Do you remember what the Scripture says about Elijah? How he made intercession to God against Israel?

nsb@Romans:11:5 @ Even so at this present time there is a remnant chosen according to God’s grace.

nsb@Romans:11:8 @ It is written, »God has given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear to this very day.« (Deuteronomy strkjv@29:4)

nsb@Romans:11:11 @ I ask: Did they stumble and fall? Certainly not! But rather through their fall into sin salvation has come to the nations. This will provoke them to jealousy.

nsb@Romans:11:22 @ Observe both God’s kindness and severity. Severity is for those who fail to continue. But kindness is for you as long as you continue in his kindness. Otherwise you will be cut off.

nsb@Romans:11:25 @ I do not want you to be ignorant of this secret, lest you should be wise in your own conceits. Blindness has happened to Israel, until the fullness of the nations comes in.

nsb@Romans:11:26 @ In this way all Israel will be saved. As it is written: The deliverer will come out of Zion and will remove ungodliness from Jacob.

nsb@Romans:11:27 @ For this is my covenant with them, when I shall take away their sins.

nsb@Romans:11:33 @ O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments. His ways are beyond human understanding!

nsb@Romans:11:34 @ For who has known the mind of Jehovah? Or who has been his counselor? (Isaiah strkjv@40:13)

nsb@Romans:12:2 @ Do not be conformed to this world. But be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Prove what is the good, acceptable, and perfect will of God.

nsb@Romans:12:20 @ Therefore if your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he thirsts, give him drink. For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head.

nsb@Romans:13:6 @ That is why you pay taxes. They are God’s ministers continually serving this very purpose.

nsb@Romans:13:9 @ For the Law code says: You must not commit adultery, you must not murder, you must not steal, you must not bear false witness, and you must not covet. If there is any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying; namely, you must love your neighbor as yourself.

nsb@Romans:13:10 @ Love works no ill to his neighbor. Therefore love is the law’s fulfillment.

nsb@Romans:14:4 @ Who are you to judge another man’s servant? He stands or falls before his own master. Yes, he will be made to stand for God can make him stand.

nsb@Romans:14:5 @ One person judges one day above another. Another person judges every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.

nsb@Romans:14:9 @ To this end Christ both died, and rose, and lived again, that he might be Lord both of the dead and the living.

nsb@Romans:14:13 @ Let us not judge one another any more. Let no man put a stumbling block or an occasion to fall in his brother’s way.

nsb@Romans:15:2 @ Let every one of us please his neighbor for his good to build him up.

nsb@Romans:15:6 @ To this end you may glorify God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ with one mind and one accord.

nsb@Romans:15:9 @ That the nations might glorify God for his mercy as it is written: »For this cause I will confess you to the people of the nations, and sing to your name.«

nsb@Romans:15:10 @ And again he says: »Rejoice, you nations, with his people.« (Deuteronomy strkjv@32:43)

nsb@Romans:15:12 @ And again, Isaiah says: »Then in that day the nations will search for and turn to the root of Jesse. He will stand as a signal for the peoples. His resting place will be glorious.« (Isaiah strkjv@11:10)

nsb@Romans:15:27 @ It pleased them to do so and they are debtors for this. If the nations have been made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister to them in physical things.

nsb@Romans:15:28 @ After I have performed this and have sealed to them this fruit, I will come to you in Spain.

nsb@Romans:16:13 @ Salute Rufus chosen in the Lord, and his mother and mine.

nsb@Romans:16:15 @ Greet Philologus, and Julia, Nereus, and his sister, and Olympas, and all the holy ones with them.

nsb@Romans:16:22 @ I Tertius, who wrote this letter, salute you in the Lord.

nsb@1Corinthians:1:1 @ This letter is from Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother.

nsb@1Corinthians:1:9 @ God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

nsb@1Corinthians:1:20 @ Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

nsb@1Corinthians:1:21 @ This is the wisdom of God that the world through its wisdom did not come to know God. God was well pleased through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe.

nsb@1Corinthians:2:2 @ I decided not to know anything among you, except Jesus Christ and his death on the torture stake.

nsb@1Corinthians:2:6 @ How is it we speak wisdom among those who are mature, yet not the wisdom of this age, or of the rulers of this age, who come to nothing?

nsb@1Corinthians:2:8 @ None of the rulers of this age knew for had they known it they would not have impaled the glorious Lord.

nsb@1Corinthians:2:10 @ But God revealed them to us by his Spirit. For the Spirit investigates all things, yes even the deep things of God.

nsb@1Corinthians:2:12 @ Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit that is from God. This is so we might know the things that are freely given to us from God.

nsb@1Corinthians:2:16 @ »Who has understood the mind of Jehovah, or has instructed him, as his counselor?« (Isaiah strkjv@40:13) But we do have the mind of Christ.

nsb@1Corinthians:3:8 @ Now he who plants and he who waters are one and every man will receive his own reward according to his own labor.

nsb@1Corinthians:3:12 @ Now if any man builds upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, and stubble;

nsb@1Corinthians:3:18 @ Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seems to be wise in this age, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.

nsb@1Corinthians:3:19 @ For the wisdom of this age is foolishness with God. It is written: »He catches the wise in their own craftiness.« (Job strkjv@5:13)

nsb@1Corinthians:4:1 @ People should regard us as servants of Christ. God has trusted us with his secrets.

nsb@1Corinthians:4:4 @ I know nothing against myself. Yet this does not acquit me, but he that judges me is God.

nsb@1Corinthians:4:11 @ Even to this present hour we both hunger and thirst. We are naked. We are treated badly and we are homeless.

nsb@1Corinthians:4:13 @ being slandered, we answer kindly. We are made as the filth of the world and are the refuse of all things to this day.

nsb@1Corinthians:4:16 @ For this reason I urge you to imitate me.

nsb@1Corinthians:4:17 @ I send Timothy, my beloved son faithful in the Lord, to you for this purpose. He will remind you of my way of life in Christ, just as I teach it in every congregation.

nsb@1Corinthians:5:1 @ It is reported that there is sexual immorality among you. This type of fornication is not even found among the people of the nations. There is a man who has his father’s wife.

nsb@1Corinthians:5:2 @ And you are proud! You should have been filled with sadness that he did this deed. And you should have ejected him from your congregation.

nsb@1Corinthians:5:3 @ I am not there with you in person. But I am with you in spirit. I have already judged the man who did this.

nsb@1Corinthians:5:5 @ Deliver this one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

nsb@1Corinthians:5:10 @ Yet you cannot completely avoid the fornicators of this world, nor the greedy persons, nor cheaters and robbers, nor those who worship idols. To do so you would have to leave this world.

nsb@1Corinthians:6:3 @ Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more the matters that pertain to this life?

nsb@1Corinthians:6:4 @ If you have judgments of things pertaining to this life, would you appoint as judges those who mean nothing to the congregation?

nsb@1Corinthians:6:5 @ I speak to shame you. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? Not one who would be able to judge between his brothers?

nsb@1Corinthians:6:6 @ But brother goes to court against brother, and this before unbelievers.

nsb@1Corinthians:6:8 @ Instead you do wrong and defraud, and you do this to your brothers and sisters!

nsb@1Corinthians:6:14 @ God has resurrected the Lord, and will also resurrect us by his own power.

nsb@1Corinthians:6:18 @ Flee from fornication! Every sin that a man does is outside his body. But he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.

nsb@1Corinthians:7:2 @ Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.

nsb@1Corinthians:7:3 @ Let the husband fulfill his marital duties to his wife and also the wife to her husband.

nsb@1Corinthians:7:4 @ The wife has no authority over her own body, but her husband does. Likewise also the husband has no authority over his own body, but his wife does.

nsb@1Corinthians:7:6 @ But I speak this by concession and not by commandment.

nsb@1Corinthians:7:7 @ I prefer that all men were as I am. But every man has his proper gift from God, one after this manner, and another after that.

nsb@1Corinthians:7:11 @ If she leaves, let her remain unmarried or become reconciled to her husband. A husband should not divorce his wife.

nsb@1Corinthians:7:28 @ If you marry you have not sinned. If a virgin marries she has not sinned. Those who marry will face many problems in this life and I want to spare you.

nsb@1Corinthians:7:29 @ I will say this brothers the time remaining is short. So from now on those who have wives should be like those who have none.

nsb@1Corinthians:7:31 @ Those who use this world should not abuse it, for the fashion of this world is passing away.

nsb@1Corinthians:7:33 @ But he who is married cares for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife.

nsb@1Corinthians:7:35 @ I say this for your benefit and not to restrict you. I show you how to live a noble life of devotion to the Lord without being distracted by other things.

nsb@1Corinthians:7:36 @ If any man thinks he behaves improperly toward his virgin, if she is past her youth, let him do what he will, he does not sin if they get married.

nsb@1Corinthians:7:37 @ Nevertheless he who stands steadfast in his heart, having no necessity, but has power over his own will, and has so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virginity he does well.

nsb@1Corinthians:7:38 @ So then he who gives his virginity in marriage does well; but he who does not get married does even better.

nsb@1Corinthians:7:40 @ But she is happier if she remains as she is. This is my opinion and I think I also have the Spirit of God.

nsb@1Corinthians:8:7 @ Not all people know this. Some eat food offered to idols and their conscience being weak is defiled.

nsb@1Corinthians:8:9 @ Be careful that this freedom does not become a stumbling block to those who are weak.

nsb@1Corinthians:9:7 @ Does a soldier serve at his own expense? Does the one who plants a vineyard not eat of the fruit it produces? Who shepherds a flock and does not eat some of the milk from the flock?

nsb@1Corinthians:9:8 @ I say this from a human point of view. Does the law say the same thing?

nsb@1Corinthians:9:10 @ Or did he say it for our benefit? This is written for our benefit without a doubt! He who plows should plow in hope. Likewise he who threshes in hope should be a partaker of his hope.

nsb@1Corinthians:9:12 @ If others are partakers of the right over you, should we also partake? Nevertheless we have not used this power! We suffer all things, lest we should hinder the good news of Christ.

nsb@1Corinthians:9:17 @ For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward. But if I do it against my will, I am just performing the trust of the good news committed to me.

nsb@1Corinthians:9:23 @ And this I do for the sake of the good news that I might be a partaker of it with others.

nsb@1Corinthians:10:24 @ Let no one seek his own advantage, but that of the other.

nsb@1Corinthians:10:28 @ But if any man says to you: »This is offered in sacrifice to idols,« do not eat for the sake of the one who said it and for conscience sake.

nsb@1Corinthians:11:4 @ Every man who prays or prophesies having his head covered dishonors his head.

nsb@1Corinthians:11:7 @ For a man should not cover his head, for he is the image and glory of God. But the woman is the glory of the man.

nsb@1Corinthians:11:16 @ If anyone is contentious about this we have no other practice, neither do the congregations of God.

nsb@1Corinthians:11:17 @ Now in this that I declare to you that I do not praise you. For you come together not for the better but for the worse.

nsb@1Corinthians:11:20 @ When you come together to one place, this is not to eat the Lord's Supper.

nsb@1Corinthians:11:22 @ Do you not have houses in which to eat and drink? Or do you despise the congregation of God, and shame them that have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you in this? I will not praise you!

nsb@1Corinthians:11:24 @ And when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, »Take and eat. This represents my body, which is broken for you. Do this in remembrance of me.«

nsb@1Corinthians:11:25 @ In the same manner, after supper, he took the cup, saying, »This cup represents the new covenant of my blood. Drink this as often as you do it in remembrance of me.«

nsb@1Corinthians:11:26 @ For as often as you eat this bread, and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death till he comes.

nsb@1Corinthians:11:27 @ Whoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.

nsb@1Corinthians:11:30 @ For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.

nsb@1Corinthians:14:21 @ It is written in the law: »With men of other tongues and lips of foreigners I will speak to this people. Even then they will not listen to me,« said Jehovah.

nsb@1Corinthians:14:25 @ The secrets of his heart are made known. So falling down on his face he will worship God, and report, »God is truly among you.«

nsb@1Corinthians:14:38 @ But if any man does not recognize this he will not be recognized.

nsb@1Corinthians:15:6 @ More than five hundred brothers saw him at the same time after that. Most of them remain to this day, but some have fallen asleep.

nsb@1Corinthians:15:10 @ By the divine influence of God I am what I am. His grace was not given to me in vain for I labored more than all of them. Yet it was not I. It was the divine influence and favor of God in me.

nsb@1Corinthians:15:19 @ If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.

nsb@1Corinthians:15:23 @ Everyone will be raised to life in the right order: Christ the first fruits and afterward those who belong to Christ at the time of his coming.

nsb@1Corinthians:15:25 @ For he must rule as king until he puts all enemies under his feet. (Psalm 2; 110) (Daniel strkjv@2:44) (Revelation strkjv@5:10; Revelation strkjv@20:6)

nsb@1Corinthians:15:27 @ According to the Scriptures: God has placed all things under his control. (Ephesians strkjv@1:22) But when he said all things are placed under him, it is with the exception of. For is the one who placed all things under him. (1 Peter strkjv@3:22) (John strkjv@3:35)

nsb@1Corinthians:15:34 @ Wake up to righteousness and do not sin. Some do not have knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.

nsb@1Corinthians:15:38 @ But God gives it a body as it pleased him, and to every seed his own body.

nsb@1Corinthians:15:50 @ Now this I say, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God. Corruption may not inherit incorruption.

nsb@1Corinthians:15:53 @ This corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

nsb@1Corinthians:15:54 @ When this corruptible shall be clothed with incorruption, and this mortal shall be clothed with immortality, then the saying will come true: »Death is swallowed up in victory.«

nsb@1Corinthians:16:12 @ Concerning our brother Apollos, I greatly desired him to come to you with the brothers but his will was not at all to come at this time. He will come when he has a convenient time.

nsb@2Corinthians:1:12 @ This is our pride and testimony of conscience. In holiness and Godly sincerity we behaved ourselves in the world, and more abundantly toward you. It was not by fleshly wisdom but by the grace of God.

nsb@2Corinthians:1:15 @ In this confidence I was willing to come to you first that you might have a second benefit.

nsb@2Corinthians:1:17 @ When I planned this was I unfaithful? Or in other things do I perform according to the flesh. With me should there be a yes or a no?

nsb@2Corinthians:1:20 @ All the promises of God in him are yes. Also in his is the Amen, to the glory of God through us.

nsb@2Corinthians:2:1 @ I decided this for myself that I would not come again to you with sorrow.

nsb@2Corinthians:2:3 @ I wrote this very thing that when I came, I should have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice. I have confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all.

nsb@2Corinthians:2:6 @ Sufficient to such a one is this punishment that was inflicted by the many.

nsb@2Corinthians:2:7 @ To the contrary you should rather forgive him and comfort him, lest by any means such a one should be swallowed up with his excess sorrow.

nsb@2Corinthians:2:9 @ I write for this purpose, that I might put you to the test, whether you are obedient in all things.

nsb@2Corinthians:2:11 @ that no advantage may be gained over us by Satan: for we are not ignorant of his devices.

nsb@2Corinthians:2:14 @ Thanks to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ. He makes known through us the sweet aroma of his knowledge in every place.

nsb@2Corinthians:3:6 @ He also made us sufficient as ministers of a new covenant. This is a covenant not of the letter, but of the Spirit: for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

nsb@2Corinthians:3:7 @ The ministry of death was written and engraved on stones. Glory came with it so that the children of Israel could not look steadfastly upon the face of Moses. And this glory was passing away.

nsb@2Corinthians:3:10 @ Even what was glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the greater glory.

nsb@2Corinthians:3:13 @ We are not like Moses, who put a veil upon his face, that the children of Israel should not look steadily on the end of that which was passing away:

nsb@2Corinthians:3:14 @ Their minds were blinded. Until this day the same veil remains at the reading of the old covenant. It is not revealed to them that Christ voided it.

nsb@2Corinthians:3:15 @ But to this day, whenever Moses is read, a veil lies upon their heart.

nsb@2Corinthians:4:1 @ We have this ministry to do, even as we obtained mercy, we do not lose heart.

nsb@2Corinthians:4:4 @ The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers that the light of the good news of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not shine on them.

nsb@2Corinthians:4:7 @ We have this treasure in earthen vessels that the power beyond what is normal may be from God, and not from ourselves.

nsb@2Corinthians:5:2 @ In this we sigh, longing to be clothed with our habitation that is from heaven.

nsb@2Corinthians:5:4 @ While in this tabernacle we groan and sigh with prayer. We are concerned that we would be clothed with what is mortal and be swallowed up by this life.

nsb@2Corinthians:5:5 @ He that prepared us for this very purpose is God. He gave the Spirit to us as a guarantee.

nsb@2Corinthians:7:7 @ This is not by his coming only, but also by the comfort he brought from you. He told us about your longing, your mourning, and your zeal for me so that I rejoiced yet more.

nsb@2Corinthians:7:10 @ For godly sorrow works repentance leading to salvation. This is a repentance that brings no regret: but the sorrow of the world works death.

nsb@2Corinthians:7:11 @ This very thing that you sorrowed in a godly manner: What diligence it made in you, what clearing of yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what longing, what zeal, yes what vindication! You demonstrated yourself to innocent in the matter.

nsb@2Corinthians:7:13 @ Therefore we have been comforted in your comfort. We enjoyed our comfort the more exceedingly for the joy of Titus, because all of you have refreshed his mental disposition.

nsb@2Corinthians:7:15 @ His affection is even greater for you as he remembers your obedience and how with reverence and trembling you received him.

nsb@2Corinthians:8:4 @ They were very urgent in their concern for this grace and the fellowship in the ministering to the holy ones.

nsb@2Corinthians:8:5 @ This is not as we hoped. First they gave their own selves to the Lord, and to us by the will of God.

nsb@2Corinthians:8:6 @ We exhorted Titus, that as he made a beginning before, so he would also complete in you this grace.

nsb@2Corinthians:8:7 @ But as you have plenty of everything, in faith, and speech, and knowledge, and in all earnestness, and in your love for us, see that you have plenty of this undeserved kindness also.

nsb@2Corinthians:8:9 @ For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that you through his poverty might become rich.

nsb@2Corinthians:8:10 @ I give my judgment: for this is expedient for you, who were the first to make a beginning a year ago, not only to do, but also to will.

nsb@2Corinthians:8:13 @ I do not say this for the ease of others and for your affliction

nsb@2Corinthians:8:14 @ but by equality: your abundance being a supply at this present time for their want, that their abundance also may become a supply for your want; that there may be equality:

nsb@2Corinthians:8:17 @ For he accepted indeed our exhortation; but being himself very earnest, he went forth to you of his own accord.

nsb@2Corinthians:8:19 @ and not only so, but who was also appointed by the congregations to travel with us in the matter of this grace, which is ministered by us to the glory of the Lord, and to show our readiness.

nsb@2Corinthians:8:20 @ Avoid this, that any man should blame us in the matter of this bounty that is ministered by us:

nsb@2Corinthians:9:3 @ But I have sent the brothers that our boasting about you may not be made void in this respect. Even as I said, you may be prepared:

nsb@2Corinthians:9:4 @ Lest by any means, if any from Macedonia come with me and find you unprepared, we, not to speak of you, should be put to shame in this respect.

nsb@2Corinthians:9:7 @ Let each man do according as he has purposed in his heart: not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loves a cheerful giver.

nsb@2Corinthians:9:9 @ As it is written: He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor. His righteousness abides forever.

nsb@2Corinthians:9:11 @ You will be made rich in everything. And you can be generous on every occasion. This will cause thanksgiving to God through us.

nsb@2Corinthians:9:12 @ This service not only takes care of the needs of the holy ones, but also abounds with many expressions of thanksgiving to God.

nsb@2Corinthians:9:13 @ The proof of this ministry is that they glorify God for the obedience of your confession to the good news of Christ, and for your liberal sharing with them and all men.

nsb@2Corinthians:9:15 @ Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!

nsb@2Corinthians:10:7 @ You look at the things that are before you. If any man trusts in himself that he is Christ's, let him consider this again within himself that, even as he is Christ's, so also are we.

nsb@2Corinthians:10:10 @ For, His letters, they say, are weighty and strong. But his bodily presence is weak and his speech of no account.

nsb@2Corinthians:10:11 @ Let a person like this take this into account: what we are in word by letters when we are absent, such we will also be in deed when we are present.

nsb@2Corinthians:11:3 @ But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve in his craftiness, your minds will be lead away from the simplicity and the purity that is toward Christ.

nsb@2Corinthians:11:6 @ Though I am unskilled in speech, yet I am not in knowledge. We have in every way made this evident to you in all things.

nsb@2Corinthians:11:10 @ As the truth of Christ is in me, no man shall stop me from doing this boasting in the regions of Achaia.

nsb@2Corinthians:11:15 @ It is no great thing therefore if his ministers also fashion themselves as ministers of righteousness, whose end shall be according to their works.

nsb@2Corinthians:11:17 @ That which I speak, I speak not after the Lord, but in foolishness, in this confidence of boasting.

nsb@2Corinthians:12:5 @ I will brag about this person, but I will not brag about myself unless it is about my weaknesses.

nsb@2Corinthians:12:8 @ Three times I prayed to God about this and asked him to take it away.

nsb@2Corinthians:12:13 @ What is it in which you were inferior to other congregations, except that I was not burdensome to you? Forgive me this wrong.

nsb@2Corinthians:13:1 @ This is now the third time that I am coming to visit you. The testimony of two or three witnesses must uphold an accusation. (Deuteronomy strkjv@19:15)

nsb@2Corinthians:13:5 @ Examine yourselves, whether you are in the faith. Prove your own selves. Do you not know this about yourselves that Jesus Christ is with you, unless you are disqualified?

nsb@Galatians:1:4 @ He gave himself for our sins that he might deliver us out of this present evil age. This is according to the will of our God and Father.

nsb@Galatians:1:7 @ Yet this is not another good news. But there are some who trouble you, and they would pervert the good news of Christ.

nsb@Galatians:1:15 @ It pleased God to separate me even from my mother’s womb and call me through his grace.

nsb@Galatians:1:16 @ He revealed his Son to me that I might preach him among the nations. I do not confer with flesh and blood.

nsb@Galatians:2:2 @ I went in response to a revelation. I demonstrated to them the way I spread the good news among the people of the nations. I did this privately before them for they have a reputation. I am concerned that by any means I should be running, or had run, in vain.

nsb@Galatians:2:4 @ This occurred because of the false brothers brought in secretly. They came to spy out our liberty that we have in Christ Jesus. This was so they might bring us into bondage.

nsb@Galatians:2:10 @ They wanted us to remember the poor. I was eager to do this very thing.

nsb@Galatians:2:20 @ I have been impaled with Christ. It is no longer I that live, but Christ lives in me. The life that I now live in the flesh I live by faith. This is the faith that is in the Son of God. He loved me and gave himself up for me.

nsb@Galatians:3:2 @ I want to learn this from you. Did you receive the Spirit by doing the works of the law, or by having faith in what you heard?

nsb@Galatians:3:6 @ Abraham believed God and »Jehovah considered his faith as his righteousness.« (Genesis strkjv@15:6)

nsb@Galatians:3:14 @ This way the blessing of Abraham might come upon the nations through Christ Jesus and we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

nsb@Galatians:3:16 @ The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. He did not say to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to your seed, which is Christ.

nsb@Galatians:3:17 @ Now this I say: the Law, which came four hundred and thirty years later, does not invalidate a covenant previously ratified by God, so as to nullify the promise.

nsb@Galatians:4:3 @ When we were children, we too were held in bondage. We were slaves to the arrangement of this world.

nsb@Galatians:4:4 @ When the full time came, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law,

nsb@Galatians:4:6 @ Because you are sons, God sent the spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, Abba, Father.

nsb@Galatians:4:24 @ This contains an allegory. These women symbolize two covenants. One is from Mount Sinai, bearing children to bondage, which is Hagar.

nsb@Galatians:5:8 @ This persuasion did not come from him who calls you.

nsb@Galatians:5:10 @ I have confidence in you in the Lord that you will adopt no other view. And he that troubles you will bear his judgment, who ever he is.

nsb@Galatians:6:5 @ For each person should carry his own load.

nsb@Galatians:6:8 @ He that sows to his own flesh will harvest corruption of the flesh. But he that sows to the Spirit will harvest everlasting life from the Spirit.

nsb@Galatians:6:12 @ Those who desire to make a showing in the flesh try to compel you to be circumcised. This is done so they may not be persecuted for the stake of Christ.

nsb@Galatians:6:14 @ Never should I boast except in the stake of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is through this stake that the world has been impaled to me, and I to the world.

nsb@Galatians:6:16 @ The Israel of God will have peace and mercy. All who walk by this rule will also.

nsb@Ephesians:1:5 @ He predetermined us to adoption, as sons to himself through Jesus Christ, according to the kind intention of his will.

nsb@Ephesians:1:6 @ This is to the praise of the glory of his kindness, with which he freely honored us, the loved ones.

nsb@Ephesians:1:7 @ In him we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace.

nsb@Ephesians:1:8 @ He made this undeserved kindness abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence.

nsb@Ephesians:1:9 @ He made known to us the secret of his will, according to his good pleasure and purpose.

nsb@Ephesians:1:10 @ It was for an administration at the appointed time. This administration is to gather up all things in Christ, the things in heaven, and the things upon the earth. Yes in him!

nsb@Ephesians:1:11 @ We were assigned as heirs predetermined according to his purpose. He works all things according to his direction and will.

nsb@Ephesians:1:12 @ We who were first to hope in Christ should serve to the praise of his glory.

nsb@Ephesians:1:14 @ The Holy Spirit is a guarantee that we will receive our inheritance. This assures us that God will set us free to the praise of his glory.

nsb@Ephesians:1:15 @ For this cause I also, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus that is among you, and the love you show all the holy ones.

nsb@Ephesians:1:18 @ Have the eyes of your heart enlightened, that you may know the hope of his calling, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the holy ones,

nsb@Ephesians:1:19 @ and what the exceeding greatness of his power is toward us who believe, according to the operation of his mighty strength.

nsb@Ephesians:1:20 @ He operated in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and made him to sit at his right hand in the heavenly places.

nsb@Ephesians:1:21 @ It is far above all governments and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.

nsb@Ephesians:1:22 @ He put all things in subjection under his feet, and made him head over all things to the congregation,

nsb@Ephesians:1:23 @ which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.

nsb@Ephesians:2:2 @ You once walked according to the course of this world, according to the ruler of the power of the air, the spirit that is now active in the sons of disobedience.

nsb@Ephesians:2:4 @ But God, being rich in mercy, because of his great love with which he loved us,

nsb@Ephesians:2:7 @ So in the ages to come he, with Christ Jesus, might show the exceeding riches of his grace with kindness toward us.

nsb@Ephesians:2:10 @ For we are his workmanship created with Christ Jesus for good works. God prepared these works in advance that we should walk in them.

nsb@Ephesians:2:15 @ Christ abolished in his flesh the enmity, which the law of commandments contained in ordinances. That he might create one new man, out of the two, with himself establishing peace.

nsb@Ephesians:3:1 @ For this cause I, Paul, am the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you people of the nations.

nsb@Ephesians:3:4 @ When you read this you can understand my insight into the secret of Christ.

nsb@Ephesians:3:5 @ It was not made known to other generations of the sons of men, as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit.

nsb@Ephesians:3:7 @ I was made a minister, according to the gift of God’s grace that was given me according to the working of his power.

nsb@Ephesians:3:11 @ This is according to the eternal purpose that He carried out in Christ Jesus our Lord.

nsb@Ephesians:3:14 @ For this cause I bow my knees to the Father.

nsb@Ephesians:3:16 @ That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, that you may be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inward man.

nsb@Ephesians:4:9 @ (Now this, He ascended, what is it but that he also descended into the lower parts of the earth?

nsb@Ephesians:4:12 @ This is for the perfecting of the holy ones, for the work of ministering, for the building up of the body of Christ:

nsb@Ephesians:4:17 @ This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you no longer walk as the nations also walk, in the vanity of their mind.

nsb@Ephesians:4:25 @ Put away falsehood. Speak truth each one of you with his neighbor: for we are members of one another.

nsb@Ephesians:4:28 @ He that steals must steal no more. Let him labor, working with his hands the thing that is good, that he may have something to give to someone in need.

nsb@Ephesians:5:5 @ For you know this with certainty, that no fornicator, no unclean person, no covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

nsb@Ephesians:5:14 @ For this reason it says: »Awake, sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.«

nsb@Ephesians:5:26 @ This is so he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word.

nsb@Ephesians:5:28 @ In this way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He that loves his own wife loves himself.

nsb@Ephesians:5:29 @ No man ever hated his own flesh; but nourishes and cherishes it, even as Christ also does the congregation.

nsb@Ephesians:5:30 @ And we are members of his body!

nsb@Ephesians:5:31 @ For this reason a man will leave his father and mother, and will stick to his wife. The two will become one flesh.

nsb@Ephesians:5:32 @ This secret is great! I speak with regard to Christ and of the congregation.

nsb@Ephesians:5:33 @ Each one of you should love his own wife even as himself. The wife should respect her husband.

nsb@Ephesians:6:1 @ Children, obey your parents in the Lord for this is right.

nsb@Ephesians:6:6 @ This should not be in the way of eye service, as men-pleasers; but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from a complete heart;

nsb@Ephesians:6:10 @ Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in his mighty strength.

nsb@Ephesians:6:12 @ Our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in heavenly places.

nsb@Ephesians:6:22 @ I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know our state, and that he may comfort your hearts.

nsb@Philippians:1:6 @ I am confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ.

nsb@Philippians:1:7 @ It is right for me to feel this way on behalf of you all, because I have you in my heart. Both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the good news you are all partakers with me of grace.

nsb@Philippians:1:10 @ This way you may approve the things that are excellent. May you be sincere and without offense to others till the day of Christ.

nsb@Philippians:1:19 @ For I know that this will turn out to my redemption through your prayer and the provision of the spirit of Jesus Christ.

nsb@Philippians:1:22 @ If I live in the flesh this will bring fruit from my labor. I do not know what to choose.

nsb@Philippians:1:25 @ Having this confidence, I know that I will remain. Yes, I will remain with you all for your progress and joy in the faith.

nsb@Philippians:1:28 @ Do not be frightened by opponents. This is evidence of destruction for them and salvation for you from God.

nsb@Philippians:1:29 @ It has been granted to you in behalf of Christ. Not only to believe on him, but also to suffer in his behalf.

nsb@Philippians:2:5 @ Have this attitude in you that was also in Christ Jesus.

nsb@Philippians:2:9 @ For this reason God highly exalted him, and gave to him the name that is above every name, (Philipians strkjv@2:11)

nsb@Philippians:2:13 @ It is God who works in you both to will and to work, for his good pleasure.

nsb@Philippians:2:22 @ But you know of his proven worth. It was like a son with his father that he served with me to further the good news.

nsb@Philippians:2:30 @ because for the work of Christ he came near to death, risking his life to supply that which was lacking in your service toward me.

nsb@Philippians:3:10 @ I want to know him and the power of his resurrection. I want to know the fellowship of his sufferings and become conformed to his death.

nsb@Philippians:3:15 @ Let those of us who are mature have this attitude. If you have a different attitude God will show you how to think.

nsb@Philippians:3:21 @ Christ will, through his power, bring everything under his authority. He will change our humble bodies and make them like his glorified body. He is able to subject all things to himself.

nsb@Philippians:4:1 @ Therefore, my beloved brothers I long to see you. You are my joy and crown. In this way stand firm in the Lord, my beloved.

nsb@Philippians:4:11 @ I am not saying this because I am in need; for I have learned to be content in whatever state I am.

nsb@Philippians:4:19 @ My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

nsb@Colossians:1:5 @ This is because of the hope reserved for you in heaven. You heard about this hope from the word of truth, the good news.

nsb@Colossians:1:9 @ Since the day we heard about you, we have not ceased to pray and make request for you. We pray for you to be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding. (Philippians strkjv@1:9) (John strkjv@17:3)

nsb@Colossians:1:11 @ God will strengthen you with all power, according to the might of his glory, to all patience and longsuffering with joy.

nsb@Colossians:1:13 @ He rescued us from the power of darkness, and transferred us into the kingdom of the Son of his love.

nsb@Colossians:1:20 @ And all things are reconciled through him. He made peace through the blood of his atonement. He reconciles all things, whether things upon the earth, or things in heaven.

nsb@Colossians:1:22 @ But he reconciled you in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and without blemish and without accusation before Him.

nsb@Colossians:1:23 @ Provided that you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and not moved away from the hope of the good news you heard, which was preached in all creation under heaven. For this I,Paul, was made a minister.

nsb@Colossians:1:24 @ I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake. I do my share in behalf of his body, the congregation, to provide what is lacking of the afflictions of Christ.

nsb@Colossians:1:25 @ God gave me this stewardship to perform for your good. He has made me a servant of the congregation. It is for the task of fully proclaiming the word of God.

nsb@Colossians:1:26 @ It is the secret he hid through all past ages from all human beings but has now revealed to his holy ones.

nsb@Colossians:1:27 @ It was God’s will to make known his secret to the people of the nations, this rich and glorious secret that he has for people. The secret is that Christ is in union with you, which means that you will share in his glory.

nsb@Colossians:1:29 @ I work hard to get this done. I use the mighty strength Christ supplies. It is at work in me.

nsb@Colossians:2:2 @ I do this that they may be filled with courage and be united together in love. I have the full assurance that only true understanding brings. In this way they will accurately know God’s secret, which is Christ himself.

nsb@Colossians:2:4 @ I tell you this: Do not let anyone deceive you with false arguments, no matter how good they seem to be.

nsb@Colossians:2:18 @ Let no man rob you of your prize by a self-abasement and worshipping of the angels, dwelling in the things that he has seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,

nsb@Colossians:3:15 @ Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts. You were called in one body for this purpose. You be thankful.

nsb@Colossians:3:20 @ Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well pleasing in the Lord.

nsb@Colossians:4:8 @ I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know our situation, and that he may comfort your hearts.

nsb@Colossians:4:12 @ Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ Jesus, greets you, always striving for you in his prayers, that you may stand perfect and fully assured in all the will of God.

nsb@Colossians:4:16 @ When this letter has been read among you, make sure it is read also in the congregation of the Laodiceans; and that you also read the letter from Laodicea.

nsb@Colossians:4:18 @ I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand. Remember my imprisonment. Grace be with you.

nsb@1Thessalonians:1:10 @ and to wait for his Son to come from heaven, his Son Jesus, whom he raised from death and who rescues us from God’s anger that is to come.

nsb@1Thessalonians:2:11 @ You know how we dealt with each one of you. It was like a father with his own children, exhorting you, and encouraging and showing you.

nsb@1Thessalonians:2:12 @ You should walk worthily of God, who called you into his own kingdom and glory.

nsb@1Thessalonians:2:13 @ For this purpose we also thank God without ceasing, that, when you received from us the word of the message, even the word of God, you accepted it, not as the word of men, but, as it is in truth, the word of God, which also works in you who believe.

nsb@1Thessalonians:2:19 @ Who is our hope, or joy, or crown of exultation? Is it not you, in the presence of our Lord Jesus, at his coming?

nsb@1Thessalonians:3:5 @ For this cause, when I could no longer bear it, I inquired about your faith. I feared that the tempter might have tempted you, and our labor would be in vain.

nsb@1Thessalonians:3:13 @ May he resolutely strengthen your hearts without blame in holiness before God, our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his holy ones.

nsb@1Thessalonians:4:3 @ This is the will of God, for your sanctification, that you should abstain from fornication.

nsb@1Thessalonians:4:4 @ Every one of you should know how to possess his own vessel in holiness and honor,

nsb@1Thessalonians:4:6 @ Let no man defraud his brother in any matter. Jehovah is the avenger of this. We also have warned you and testified.

nsb@1Thessalonians:4:8 @ He therefore that rejects this, rejects not man, but God, who has also given his Holy Spirit to us.

nsb@1Thessalonians:4:15 @ We tell you this by God’s Word, that we who are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not precede those who are asleep.

nsb@1Thessalonians:5:9 @ For God has not appointed us to experience his wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ.

nsb@1Thessalonians:5:10 @ He died for us, that, whether we are awake in this life or sleep in death, we should live together with him.

nsb@1Thessalonians:5:18 @ In everything give thanks for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

nsb@1Thessalonians:5:27 @ I charge you by the Lord that this letter is to be read to all the brothers.

nsb@2Thessalonians:1:5 @ All of this proves that God’s judgment is just, and as a result, you will become worthy of his Kingdom, for which you are suffering.

nsb@2Thessalonians:1:7 @ You who are afflicted rest with us at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with the angels of his power in flaming fire.

nsb@2Thessalonians:1:9 @ They will suffer punishment, even eternal destruction from the Lord and from the glory of his might.

nsb@2Thessalonians:1:10 @ He will then come to be glorified in his holy ones, and to be marveled at by all those who believed, because our testimony to you was believed.

nsb@2Thessalonians:2:3 @ Do not let anyone deceive you about this in any way. That day will not come unless apostasy takes place first, and the man of lawlessness, the man of destruction, is revealed. (2 Timothy strkjv@4:3)

nsb@2Thessalonians:2:6 @ There is something that keeps this from happening now, and you know what it is. At the proper time, then, the wicked one will appear.

nsb@2Thessalonians:2:8 @ Then the evil one will be revealed. The Lord Jesus will put him to death with the breath of his mouth, and destroy him by the manifestation of his coming.

nsb@2Thessalonians:2:14 @ It was for this he called you through our good news. This is so you may obtain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

nsb@2Thessalonians:3:11 @ We say this because we hear that there are people among you who are lazy and who do nothing except meddle in other people’s business.

nsb@2Thessalonians:3:14 @ If anyone does not obey our word in this letter, take special note of that person and do not associate with him, so that he will be put to shame.

nsb@1Timothy:1:18 @ I entrust this command to you, Timothy, my son. It is in accordance with the prophecies that were previously made. They do apply to you, and with them you may fight the good fight.

nsb@1Timothy:2:3 @ This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior.

nsb@2Timothy:1:10 @ The appearance of our Savior Christ Jesus revealed this. Jesus abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the good news.

nsb@2Timothy:1:11 @ I was appointed to be a messenger of this good news, an apostle, and a teacher.

nsb@Hebrews:3:2 @ He was faithful to Him who appointed him, just as Moses was in His entire house.

nsb@Hebrews:3:3 @ He has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses. This is because the builder of the house has more honor than the house.

nsb@Hebrews:3:5 @ Indeed Moses was faithful in His house, as a ministering servant, for a testimony of the things to be spoken afterwards.

nsb@Hebrews:3:6 @ Christ was faithful as a Son over God’s house. We are His house if we hold on to our courage and rejoice about our hope until the end.

nsb@Hebrews:3:7 @ The Holy Spirit says: »Today if you will hear his voice,

nsb@Hebrews:3:10 @ »I was disgusted with this generation, and said: ‘They always go astray in their hearts, and they have not known my ways.’

nsb@Hebrews:3:15 @ Scripture says: »Today if you will hear his voice, do not harden your hearts. Do not be stubborn like those who rebelled.«

nsb@Hebrews:3:18 @ Who did God swear would never enter his rest? He was talking about those who did not obey him.

nsb@Hebrews:4:1 @ While the promise of entering his rest remains, let us fear that one of you might come up short and not enter.

nsb@Hebrews:4:4 @ Somewhere God said this about the seventh day: »God rested on the seventh day from all his works.«

nsb@Hebrews:4:7 @ He determines a certain day by saying through David: »Today,« after so long a time; just as it was said before, »Today, if you will listen to his voice, do not harden your hearts.« (Psalm strkjv@95:7)

nsb@Hebrews:4:10 @ He who enters into his rest also rests from his own works, just as God did from his.

nsb@Hebrews:5:3 @ That is why he must offer sacrifices, for his own and for the people’s sins.

nsb@Hebrews:5:4 @ No one takes this honor upon himself. He is called by God, even as Aaron was.

nsb@Hebrews:5:7 @ In the days of his life on earth, when he offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears to the one who was able to save him out of death, and was heard because of his godly reverence. (Galatians strkjv@1:1) (Psalm strkjv@69:13)

nsb@Hebrews:5:12 @ At this time you should be teachers. But you need someone to teach you again from the beginning the elementary truths from the Word of God. You need milk, not solid food.

nsb@Hebrews:6:3 @ We will do this if God permits.

nsb@Hebrews:6:6 @ if they shall fall away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance. This is because they personally impale the Son of God again, and expose him to public shame.

nsb@Hebrews:6:9 @ Even though we speak this way, beloved, we are convinced that you will have better things, things that belong to salvation.

nsb@Hebrews:6:10 @ For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and the love you showed for his name. You ministered to the holy ones and continue to minister.

nsb@Hebrews:6:17 @ When God desired to show more convincingly to the heirs of the promise the unchangeable character of his purpose, he confirmed it with an oath.

nsb@Hebrews:6:18 @ God did this to offer encouragement so we may rely on the hope offered to us. We have taken refuge in that hope and it is impossible for God to lie. These two things can never be changed.

nsb@Hebrews:6:19 @ We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of life. It is a hope that enters into the inner shrine behind the curtain.

nsb@Hebrews:7:2 @ Abraham apportioned a tenth part of everything to him. He was first of all, by translation of his name, »King of Righteousness,« and then he was also ruler of Salem, which means, »King of Peace.«

nsb@Hebrews:7:5 @ The descendants of Levi who receive the priestly office have a commandment in the Law to take tithes from the people. This is from their brothers, for these are descended from Abraham.

nsb@Hebrews:7:6 @ But this man does not have their genealogy. He received tithes from Abraham and blessed him who had the promises.

nsb@Hebrews:7:8 @ In this instance mortal men receive tithes, in the other by the one of whom it is testified that he lives.

nsb@Hebrews:7:9 @ One might even say that Levi, the priest who takes the tenth from the people, gave his tenth through Abraham.

nsb@Hebrews:7:10 @ He was still in the loins of his ancestor when Melchizedek met him.

nsb@Hebrews:7:15 @ This is clear if another priest arises according to the likeness of Melchizedek,

nsb@Hebrews:7:23 @ There have been many priests. This is because they have been prevented from continuing by death.

nsb@Hebrews:7:24 @ He continues forever and therefore has his priesthood without change.

nsb@Hebrews:7:26 @ Such a high priest as this was suitable for us. He is holy, harmless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and higher than the heavens.

nsb@Hebrews:7:27 @ He does not have a day-by-day need as the high priests do, first to offer up sacrifices for his own sins, then for those of the people. He sacrificed for sin once for all when he offered up himself.

nsb@Hebrews:8:1 @ Here is a summary of the things we are discussing: We have this kind of high priest. He sat down at the right hand of the throne of the majesty in heaven.

nsb@Hebrews:8:6 @ Jesus has obtained a more excellent ministry. The covenant that he arranged between God and his people is a better one, because it is based on promises of better things.

nsb@Hebrews:8:8 @ God finds fault with his people and said to them: »‘The time is coming,’ says Jehovah, ‘when I will draw up a new covenant with the people of Israel and Judah. (Jeremiah strkjv@31:31)

nsb@Hebrews:8:10 @ »‘This is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days,’ said Jehovah: ‘I will put my teachings in their mind, I will write them upon their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. (Jeremiah strkjv@31:32)

nsb@Hebrews:8:13 @ By calling this covenant »new,« he has made the first one old. That which grows old and aged will soon disappear.

nsb@Hebrews:9:9 @ This is a symbol that points to the present time. It means that the offerings and animal sacrifices presented to God cannot make the worshiper’s heart perfect,

nsb@Hebrews:9:11 @ Christ came as the high priest of the good things that are now here. He also went into a much better tent that is not made by humans and does not belong to this creation.

nsb@Hebrews:9:12 @ He went once and forever into the Most Holy Place having eternal salvation. It is not with the blood of goats and young bulls, but with his blood.

nsb@Hebrews:9:15 @ For this reason he is the mediator of a new covenant. A death has taken place for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first covenant. Those called may receive the promise of everlasting inheritance.

nsb@Hebrews:9:20 @ He said: »This is the blood of the covenant that God has presented to you.«

nsb@Hebrews:9:24 @ Christ has not entered into the Holy Place made with human hands. This is a copy of the true one. He has entered into heaven to appear before the presence of God for us.

nsb@Hebrews:9:27 @ It is appointed to men once to die, but after this the judgment:

nsb@Hebrews:10:10 @ We are sanctified by his »will« through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

nsb@Hebrews:10:12 @ But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God,

nsb@Hebrews:10:13 @ waiting until his enemies are placed as a stool for his feet.

nsb@Hebrews:10:16 @ »‘This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days,’ says Jehovah; ‘I will put my laws in their hearts, and in their minds will I write them.’ (Jeremiah strkjv@31:33)

nsb@Hebrews:10:20 @ by a new and living way, which he consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh,

nsb@Hebrews:10:30 @ We know who said: »Vengeance is mine; I will repay«; and who also said, »Jehovah will judge his people.« (Deuteronomy strkjv@32:35)

nsb@Hebrews:10:33 @ You were at times publicly insulted and mistreated. Other times you were ready to join those who were being treated in this way.

nsb@Hebrews:10:34 @ You shared the sufferings of prisoners. When all your belongings were seized, you endured your loss gladly. This is because you knew that you possessed something much better, which would last forever.

nsb@Hebrews:11:4 @ By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain. Through this he was commended as righteous. God testified about his gifts. Thus through faith he still speaks even though he is dead.

nsb@Hebrews:11:7 @ By faith Noah, being warned by God about things not seen as yet, moved with godly respect. He prepared an ark to save his house. By his faith he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness that is according to faith.

nsb@Hebrews:11:9 @ By faith he became an alien in the Promised Land. It was not his land. He lived in tents with Isaac and Jacob. They were heirs with him of the same promise.

nsb@Hebrews:11:12 @ This was to come from one man and him as good as dead. There were born children, as many as the stars of heaven in multitude, and as uncountable as the sand by the seashore.

nsb@Hebrews:11:16 @ They desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Because of this, God is not ashamed to be called their God. He has prepared a city for them!

nsb@Hebrews:11:17 @ By faith Abraham, being tested, offered up Isaac. He that had gladly received the promises was offering up his only-begotten son!

nsb@Hebrews:11:21 @ By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph. He worshipped while leaning upon the top of his staff.

nsb@Hebrews:11:22 @ By faith Joseph, when his end was near, mentioned the departure of the children of Israel. Then he gave orders concerning his bones.

nsb@Hebrews:11:23 @ By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden three months by his parents. They saw he was a beautiful child and they were not afraid of the king’s edict.

nsb@Hebrews:12:10 @ They disciplined us for a few days for their own pleasure. He disciplines for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.

nsb@Hebrews:12:16 @ Let no one become immoral or unspiritual like Esau. He sold his birthright for a single meal!

nsb@Hebrews:12:17 @ Afterward, you know, he wanted to receive his father’s blessing. He was turned back, because he could not find any way to change what he had done. He was in tears when he looked for it.

nsb@Hebrews:12:26 @ His voice shook the earth then, but now he has promised: »I will once more shake not only the earth but also heaven.«

nsb@Hebrews:13:12 @ Jesus suffered outside the gate that he might sanctify the people through his own blood.

nsb@Hebrews:13:13 @ Let us therefore go forth to him outside the camp, bearing his reproach.

nsb@Hebrews:13:15 @ Let us continually offer a sacrifice of praise to God through him, that is, the fruit of lips that make confession to his name.

nsb@Hebrews:13:17 @ Obey those who lead you. Submit to them: for they watch in behalf of your lives and must account for this. Obey them that their work may be a joy and not a burden; that would be without gain for you.

nsb@Hebrews:13:19 @ I exhort you the more exceedingly to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner.

nsb@Hebrews:13:21 @ make you perfect in every good thing. May you do his will, working in us that which is well-pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be the glory for ever and ever. Amen.

nsb@James:1:1 @ This letter is from James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ. Greetings to the twelve tribes that are scattered.

nsb@James:1:8 @ A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways.

nsb@James:1:9 @ Let the brother of humble circumstances glory in his high position.

nsb@James:1:10 @ But the rich must be glad when God humbles them. This is because they will wither like wildflowers and pass away.

nsb@James:1:11 @ The sun rises with scorching heat and withers the grass. The flower falls off and its beauty perishes. So also the rich man will fade away in his pursuits.

nsb@James:1:14 @ Each man is tempted when he is drawn away by his evil desire. He is enticed.

nsb@James:1:18 @ Using his own will, he gave us birth through the word of truth. This way we would be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.

nsb@James:1:19 @ You know this, my beloved brothers. But let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger.

nsb@James:1:23 @ For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man looking at his natural face in a mirror.

nsb@James:1:25 @ But he who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and so continues, being not a hearer who forgets but a doer who works, this man will be blessed in what he does.

nsb@James:1:26 @ If any man thinks he is religious, while he does not control his tongue but deceives his heart, this man's religion is vain.

nsb@James:1:27 @ Pure and undefiled religion before our God and Father is this: to care for the fatherless persons and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself without spot from the world.

nsb@James:2:21 @ Was Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up Isaac his son on the altar?

nsb@James:2:22 @ You see that faith acted with his works, and works made faith perfect.

nsb@James:3:13 @ Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by his good conduct that his works are from meekness because of wisdom.

nsb@James:3:15 @ This wisdom is not a wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, sensual, and devilish.

nsb@James:4:11 @ Brothers, do not speak against each other. He who speaks against a brother, or judges his brother, speaks against the law, and judges the law. If you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law, but a judge.

nsb@James:4:13 @ Come now, you that say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to this city, and spend a year there, and trade, and make profit."

nsb@James:4:15 @ You should say, "If God wills, we should both live, and do this or that."

nsb@James:5:11 @ As you know, those who have endured are called blessed. You have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the outcome Jehovah provided, how he was very tender with his affection and mercy. (Psalm strkjv@103:8)

nsb@James:5:20 @ let him know, that he who turns a sinner back from the error of his way will save a person from death, and cover a multitude of sins.

nsb@1Peter:1:2 @ You who are chosen and foreknown by God the Father. You have been sanctified by the Spirit to obey Jesus Christ and be sprinkled with his blood. Grace and peace be greatly increased to you.

nsb@1Peter:1:3 @ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy he gave us a new birth to a living hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.

nsb@1Peter:1:6 @ You greatly rejoice in this, though you have been grieved with various trials for a little while.

nsb@1Peter:1:10 @ Concerning this salvation the prophets inquired and searched diligently! They prophesied about the grace that should come to you:

nsb@1Peter:1:12 @ God revealed to the prophets that the things they spoke were not for their own benefit but for yours. The Holy Spirit was sent from heaven to make known to you what the prophets spoke. Those who spread the good news to you did this. These are things even the angels want to look into.

nsb@1Peter:1:25 @ But the word of our God abides forever. This is the word of good tidings that was preached to you.

nsb@1Peter:2:7 @ This precious value is for those who believe. But for the unbeliever: »The stone that the builders rejected became the cornerstone.«

nsb@1Peter:2:8 @ It is a stone that people stumble over, and a large rock that people find offensive. They stumble because they are disobedient to the word. To this end they were appointed.

nsb@1Peter:2:9 @ You are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, and a people for God’s own possession, that you may show the excellence of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

nsb@1Peter:2:15 @ It is God’s will that you do the right things and that this will silence the ignorance of foolish men.

nsb@1Peter:2:19 @ For this is to your credit to suffer wrongfully and endure grief because of your conscience toward God.

nsb@1Peter:2:20 @ What value is there when you sin, and are buffeted for it, you take it patiently? But if, when you do well and suffer for it, you take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.

nsb@1Peter:2:21 @ For this you were called because Christ also suffered for you. He left you an example that you should follow in his steps.

nsb@1Peter:2:24 @ He bore our sins in his body upon the stake, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness. You were healed because of his wounds.

nsb@1Peter:3:4 @ Let your appearance be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible apparel of a meek and quiet spirit. This is of great value in the sight of God.

nsb@1Peter:3:5 @ The holy women of old, who hoped in God, adorned themselves this way, being submissive to their own husbands.

nsb@1Peter:3:10 @ Whoever would love life and see good days should keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit.

nsb@1Peter:3:12 @ The eyes of Jehovah are upon the righteous. His ears hear their prayers. But the face of Jehovah is against those who do evil.

nsb@1Peter:3:21 @ This was a symbol pointing to baptism, which now saves you. It is not the washing off of bodily dirt, but the promise made to God for a good conscience. It saves you through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

nsb@1Peter:4:6 @ The good news was preached for this purpose even to the dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but may live according to God in the spirit.

nsb@1Peter:4:13 @ As much as you are partakers of Christ’s sufferings, rejoice; that at the revelation of his glory you also may rejoice with exceeding joy.

nsb@1Peter:4:16 @ If a man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God in this name.

nsb@1Peter:5:10 @ After you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will perfect, establish, and strengthen you.

nsb@1Peter:5:12 @ By Silvanus, our faithful brother, as I account him, I have written to you briefly, exhorting and testifying that this is the true grace of God. Stand fast.

nsb@2Peter:1:3 @ His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness. This is through the knowledge of him that called us by his own glory and virtue.

nsb@2Peter:1:4 @ He offered us his precious and exceedingly great promises. Through these you may become partakers of the divine nature. You will escape from the corruption that is in the lust-filled world.

nsb@2Peter:1:5 @ Yes, for this very reason you do your part with all diligence. Supply virtue to your faith. Add knowledge to your virtue.

nsb@2Peter:1:9 @ For he who lacks these qualities is blind, seeing only what is near, having forgotten the cleansing from his old sins.

nsb@2Peter:1:11 @ For in this way the entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be richly supplied to you.

nsb@2Peter:1:13 @ I think it right, as long as I am in this body, to stir you up by reminding you.

nsb@2Peter:1:16 @ We did not follow cunningly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. We were eyewitnesses of his majesty.

nsb@2Peter:1:17 @ He received honor and glory from God the Father when he heard the voice from the Majestic Glory: »This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.«

nsb@2Peter:1:18 @ We heard this voice from out of heaven when we were with him on the holy mountain.

nsb@2Peter:1:20 @ Know this first that no prophecy of scripture is for private interpretation.

nsb@2Peter:2:10 @ This is primarily for those who indulge the flesh in its corrupt desires and despise authority. Daring, self-willed, they do not tremble at glorious ones but speak abusively.

nsb@2Peter:2:16 @ He was rebuked for his own transgression. A beast of burden spoke with a man's voice and restrained the madness of the prophet.

nsb@2Peter:2:22 @ It happened to them according to the true proverb: »The dog returns to his own vomit, and the sow that had washed to wallowing in the mire.«

nsb@2Peter:3:1 @ This is the second letter I write to you, beloved. I stimulate your memory in each letter.

nsb@2Peter:3:3 @ Know this first, that in the last days, mockers will come with mockery, walking after their own lusts,

nsb@2Peter:3:4 @ Saying, »Where is the promise of his coming? For, from the day that the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.«

nsb@2Peter:3:5 @ For this they willfully forget, that there were heavens from of old, and an earth compacted out of water and amidst water, by the word of God,

nsb@2Peter:3:8 @ Do not forget this one thing, beloved, that one day is with Jehovah as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. (Psalm strkjv@90:1, 4)

nsb@2Peter:3:9 @ Jehovah is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness. He is longsuffering toward you. He does not wish that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

nsb@2Peter:3:13 @ We look for new heavens and a new earth, where righteousness dwells. This is according to his promise.

nsb@2Peter:3:14 @ Seeing that you anticipate these things, be diligent that you may be found in peace, without spot and blameless in his sight.

nsb@2Peter:3:16 @ He spoke about these things in his letters. Some things are hard to understand. The untaught and unstable distort them as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.

nsb@2Peter:3:17 @ You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, avoid being carried away with the error of the wicked and falling from your own steadfastness.

nsb@1John:1:3 @ We declare to you what we have seen and heard. This way you may have fellowship with us. Yes, and our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ!

nsb@1John:1:5 @ This is the message we heard from him and announce to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

nsb@1John:1:7 @ If we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.

nsb@1John:1:10 @ If we say we have not sinned we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

nsb@1John:2:3 @ We know that we know him, when we obey his commandments.

nsb@1John:2:4 @ He who says: I know him, and does not obey his commandments is a liar! The truth is not in him.

nsb@1John:2:5 @ Whoever obeys his Word; the love of God is made perfect in him. By this we know that we are in union with him.

nsb@1John:2:7 @ Beloved, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment you had from the beginning. This old commandment is the word that you heard.

nsb@1John:2:8 @ Then again, I do write a new commandment to you. This is true in him and in you. The darkness is passing away, and the true light already shines.

nsb@1John:2:9 @ He who says he is in the light and hates his brother is still in the darkness!

nsb@1John:2:10 @ He who loves his brother lives in the light, and there is no cause for stumbling in him.

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

nsb@1John:2:12 @ I write to you, my little children, because your sins are forgiven on account of his name.

nsb@1John:2:22 @ Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, even he who denies the Father and the Son.

nsb@1John:2:25 @ This is the promise he promised us, life eternal.

nsb@1John:2:27 @ The anointing you received from Him is a part of you and you do not need anyone to teach you. His anointing taught you concerning all things. It is no lie. It is truth, just as you were taught you live through him.

nsb@1John:2:28 @ Now, my little children dwell with him. If he shall be made known we may have boldness, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.

nsb@1John:3:1 @ Observe the love the Father gave to us that we should be called the children of God. That is what we are! For this reason the world does not know us. This is because it did not know him.

nsb@1John:3:3 @ Everyone who has this hope in him is purified. He is pure.

nsb@1John:3:8 @ He who sins is of the devil. For the devil sinned from the beginning. To this end the Son of God was made known, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

nsb@1John:3:9 @ Whoever is born of God does not practice sin! His seed abides in him and he cannot sin because he has been born of God.

nsb@1John:3:10 @ In this the children of God and the children of the devil are revealed. Whoever does not practice righteousness is not from God. He who does not love his brother is not from God.

nsb@1John:3:11 @ This is the message you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another!

nsb@1John:3:12 @ We should not be like Cain who was of the evil one, and killed his brother. Why did he murder him? It was because his works were evil, and his brother's were righteous.

nsb@1John:3:15 @ Whoever hates his brother is a murderer! You know that no murderer has everlasting life remaining in him.

nsb@1John:3:16 @ By this we know love, because he gave his life for us. We ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.

nsb@1John:3:17 @ Whoever has this world's goods and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his compassion from him, how does the love of God dwell in him?

nsb@1John:3:19 @ By this we shall know we are of the truth, and will assure our heart before him.

nsb@1John:3:22 @ Whatever we ask we receive from Him because we obey His commandments and do the things that are pleasing in His sight.

nsb@1John:3:23 @ This is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another. He gave us this commandment!

nsb@1John:4:1 @ Beloved, do not believe every spirit. Test the spirits to see whether they are from God. This is because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

nsb@1John:4:3 @ Every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist that you heard was coming and now it is already in the world.

nsb@1John:4:6 @ We are from God. He who knows God listens to us. He who is not from God does not listen to us. By this we know the vital principle of truth, and the principle of deception.

nsb@1John:4:9 @ The love of God was made known through us. God sent his only-begotten Son into the world that we might live through him.

nsb@1John:4:10 @ In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

nsb@1John:4:12 @ No one has seen God at any time! If we love one another, God lives with us, and his love is perfected through us.

nsb@1John:4:13 @ We know that we live with him and he with us, because he has given us of his Spirit.

nsb@1John:4:17 @ This is love made perfect through us, that we may have boldness in the Day of Judgment. Just as he is, we are, amid this world.

nsb@1John:4:20 @ If a man says, I love God, yet he hates his brother, he is a liar! He who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen.

nsb@1John:4:21 @ We have this commandment from him, that he who loves God should love his brother also.

nsb@1John:5:2 @ This is how we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and do his commandments.

nsb@1John:5:3 @ For this is the love of God, that we obey his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome.

nsb@1John:5:4 @ Everything born from God conquers the world. This is the victory that has conquered the world, even our faith.

nsb@1John:5:6 @ This is he who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ. He did not come with the water only, but with the water and with the blood. The Spirit gives witness because it is the truth.

nsb@1John:5:9 @ If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater. The witness of God is this, that he gave witness concerning his Son.

nsb@1John:5:10 @ He who believes in the Son of God has the witness in him. He who does not believe God made him a liar because he does not believe the testimony God gives concerning his Son.

nsb@1John:5:11 @ The testimony is this that God gave us everlasting life and this life is in his Son.

nsb@1John:5:14 @ This is the confidence that we have toward him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.

nsb@1John:5:16 @ If any man see his brother committing a sin not leading to death, he will ask, and God will give him life for them that sin not leading to death. There is a sin that leads to death. I do not say that he should make request concerning this.

nsb@1John:5:20 @ We know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding. We know him that is true for we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and everlasting life.

nsb@2John:1:6 @ This is love that we walk according to his commandments. This is the commandment that you heard from the beginning. You should walk in it.

nsb@2John:1:7 @ For many deceivers have gone into the world. They do not confess that Jesus Christ came in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist.
