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

nasb@Matthew:1:11 @Josiah became the father of Jeconiah and his brothers, at the time of the deportation to Babylon.

nasb@Matthew:1:16 @Jacob was the father of Joseph the husband of Mary, by whom Jesus was born, who is called the Messiah.

nasb@Matthew:1:18 @Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows- when His mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child by the Holy Spirit.

nasb@Matthew:1:19 @And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man and not wanting to disgrace her, planned to send her away secretly.

nasb@Matthew:1:20 @But when he had considered this, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, " Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife; for the Child who has been conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.

nasb@Matthew:1:21" @She will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins."

nasb@Matthew:1:22 @Now all this took place to fulfill what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet-

nasb@Matthew:1:23" @ BEHOLD, THE VIRGIN SHALL BE WITH CHILD AND SHALL BEAR A SON, AND THEY SHALL CALL HIS NAME IMMANUEL," which translated means, " GOD WITH US."

nasb@Matthew:1:24 @And Joseph awoke from his sleep and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took Mary as his wife,

nasb@Matthew:2:1 @but kept her a virgin until she gave birth to a Son; and he called His name Jesus.

nasb@Matthew:2:2" @Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we saw His star in the east and have come to worship Him."

nasb@Matthew:2:3 @When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.

nasb@Matthew:2:5 @They said to him, " In Bethlehem of Judea; for this is what has been written by the prophet-

nasb@Matthew:2:6 @' AND YOU, BETHLEHEM, LAND OF JUDAH, ARE BY NO MEANS LEAST AMONG THE LEADERS OF JUDAH; FOR OUT OF YOU SHALL COME FORTH A RULER WHO WILL SHEPHERD MY PEOPLE ISRAEL.'"

nasb@Matthew:2:11 @After coming into the house they saw the Child with Mary His mother; and they fell to the ground and worshiped Him. Then, opening their treasures, they presented to Him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

nasb@Matthew:2:13 @Now when they had gone, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, "Get up! Take the Child and His mother and flee to Egypt, and remain there until I tell you; for Herod is going to search for the Child to destroy Him."

nasb@Matthew:2:14 @So Joseph got up and took the Child and His mother while it was still night, and left for Egypt.

nasb@Matthew:2:15 @He remained there until the death of Herod. This was to fulfill what had been spoken by the Lord through the prophet- " OUT OF EGYPT I CALLED MY SON."

nasb@Matthew:2:20" @Get up, take the Child and His mother, and go into the land of Israel; for those who sought the Child's life are dead."

nasb@Matthew:2:21 @So Joseph got up, took the Child and His mother, and came into the land of Israel.

nasb@Matthew:2:22 @But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. Then after being warned by God in a dream, he left for the regions of Galilee,

nasb@Matthew:2:23 @and came and lived in a city called Nazareth. This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophets- "He shall be called a Nazarene."

nasb@Matthew:2:3 @Now in those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea, saying,

nasb@Matthew:2:2" @ Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."

nasb@Matthew:2:3 @For this is the one referred to by Isaiah the prophet when he said, " THE VOICE OF ONE CRYING IN THE WILDERNESS, ' MAKE READY THE WAY OF THE LORD, MAKE HIS PATHS STRAIGHT!'"

nasb@Matthew:2:4 @Now John himself had a garment of camel's hair and a leather belt around his waist; and his food was locusts and wild honey.

nasb@Matthew:2:5 @Then Jerusalem was going out to him, and all Judea and all the district around the Jordan;

nasb@Matthew:2:7 @But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming for baptism, he said to them, "You brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

nasb@Matthew:2:9 @and do not suppose that you can say to yourselves, ' We have Abraham for our father'; for I say to you that from these stones God is able to raise up children to Abraham.

nasb@Matthew:2:10" @The axe is already laid at the root of the trees; therefore every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

nasb@Matthew:2:11" @As for me, I baptize you with water for repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, and I am not fit to remove His sandals; He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.

nasb@Matthew:2:12" @His winnowing fork is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clear His threshing floor; and He will gather His wheat into the barn, but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire."

nasb@Matthew:2:15 @But Jesus answering said to him, "Permit it at this time; for in this way it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness." Then he permitted Him.

nasb@Matthew:2:17 @and behold, a voice out of the heavens said, " This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well-pleased."

nasb@Matthew:3:4 @But He answered and said, "It is written, ' MAN SHALL NOT LIVE ON BREAD ALONE, BUT ON EVERY WORD THAT PROCEEDS OUT OF THE MOUTH OF GOD.'"

nasb@Matthew:3:6 @and said to Him, "If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down; for it is written, ' HE WILL COMMAND HIS ANGELS CONCERNING YOU'; and 'ON their HANDS THEY WILL BEAR YOU UP, SO THAT YOU WILL NOT STRIKE YOUR FOOT AGAINST A STONE.'"

nasb@Matthew:3:7 @Jesus said to him, "On the other hand, it is written, ' YOU SHALL NOT PUT THE LORD YOUR GOD TO THE TEST.'"

nasb@Matthew:3:10 @Then Jesus said to him, "Go, Satan! For it is written, ' YOU SHALL WORSHIP THE LORD YOUR GOD, AND SERVE HIM ONLY.'"

nasb@Matthew:3:11 @Then the devil left Him; and behold, angels came and began to minister to Him.

nasb@Matthew:3:13 @and leaving Nazareth, He came and settled in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali.

nasb@Matthew:3:14 @This was to fulfill what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet-

nasb@Matthew:3:17 @From that time Jesus began to preach and say, " Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."

nasb@Matthew:3:18 @Now as Jesus was walking by the Sea of Galilee, He saw two brothers, Simon who was called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.

nasb@Matthew:3:19 @And He said to them, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men."

nasb@Matthew:3:21 @Going on from there He saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and He called them.

nasb@Matthew:3:23 @Jesus was going throughout all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every kind of disease and every kind of sickness among the people.

nasb@Matthew:3:24 @The news about Him spread throughout all Syria; and they brought to Him all who were ill, those suffering with various diseases and pains, demoniacs, epileptics, paralytics; and He healed them.

nasb@Matthew:3:25 @Large crowds followed Him from Galilee and the Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judea and from beyond the Jordan.

nasb@Matthew:4:1 @When Jesus saw the crowds, He went up on the mountain; and after He sat down, His disciples came to Him.

nasb@Matthew:4:2 @He opened His mouth and began to teach them, saying,

nasb@Matthew:4:3" @ Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

nasb@Matthew:4:6" @Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.

nasb@Matthew:4:10" @Blessed are those who have been persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

nasb@Matthew:4:12" @Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

nasb@Matthew:4:13" @You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has become tasteless, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled under foot by men.

nasb@Matthew:4:16" @Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.

nasb@Matthew:4:17" @Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill.

nasb@Matthew:4:18" @For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass from the Law until all is accomplished.

nasb@Matthew:4:20" @For I say to you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.

nasb@Matthew:4:22" @But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be guilty before the court; and whoever says to his brother, ' You good-for-nothing,' shall be guilty before the supreme court; and whoever says, 'You fool,' shall be guilty enough to go into the fiery hell.

nasb@Matthew:4:25" @ Make friends quickly with your opponent at law while you are with him on the way, so that your opponent may not hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the officer, and you be thrown into prison.

nasb@Matthew:4:28 @but I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

nasb@Matthew:4:29" @ If your right eye makes you stumble, tear it out and throw it from you; for it is better for you to lose one of the parts of your body, than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.

nasb@Matthew:4:30" @ If your right hand makes you stumble, cut it off and throw it from you; for it is better for you to lose one of the parts of your body, than for your whole body to go into hell.

nasb@Matthew:4:31" @It was said, ' WHOEVER SENDS HIS WIFE AWAY, LET HIM GIVE HER A CERTIFICATE OF DIVORCE';

nasb@Matthew:4:32 @but I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except for the reason of unchastity, makes her commit adultery; and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

nasb@Matthew:4:34" @But I say to you, make no oath at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God,

nasb@Matthew:4:35 @or by the earth, for it is the footstool of His feet, or by Jerusalem, for it is THE CITY OF THE GREAT KING.

nasb@Matthew:4:37" @But let your statement be, 'Yes, yes' or 'No, no'; anything beyond these is of evil.

nasb@Matthew:4:39" @But I say to you, do not resist an evil person; but whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also.

nasb@Matthew:4:45 @so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.

nasb@Matthew:4:48" @Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

nasb@Matthew:4:6" @Beware of practicing your righteousness before men to be noticed by them; otherwise you have no reward with your Father who is in heaven.

nasb@Matthew:4:3" @But when you give to the poor, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,

nasb@Matthew:4:4 @so that your giving will be in secret; and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you.

nasb@Matthew:4:6" @But you, when you pray, go into your inner room, close your door and pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you.

nasb@Matthew:4:9" @ Pray, then, in this way- 'Our Father who is in heaven, Hallowed be Your name.

nasb@Matthew:4:10 @' Your kingdom come. Your will be done, On earth as it is in heaven.

nasb@Matthew:4:11 @' Give us this day our daily bread.

nasb@Matthew:4:13 @'And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil. [For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.]'

nasb@Matthew:4:18 @so that your fasting will not be noticed by men, but by your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you.

nasb@Matthew:4:21 @for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

nasb@Matthew:4:22" @ The eye is the lamp of the body; so then if your eye is clear, your whole body will be full of light.

nasb@Matthew:4:23" @But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light that is in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!

nasb@Matthew:4:24" @ No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.

nasb@Matthew:4:25" @ For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?

nasb@Matthew:4:27" @And who of you by being worried can add a single hour to his life?

nasb@Matthew:4:29 @yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these.

nasb@Matthew:4:30" @But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you? You of little faith!

nasb@Matthew:4:33" @But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

nasb@Matthew:4:3" @Why do you look at the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?

nasb@Matthew:4:4" @ Or how can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' and behold, the log is in your own eye?

nasb@Matthew:4:6" @ Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before swine, or they will trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.

nasb@Matthew:4:9" @Or what man is there among you who, when his son asks for a loaf, will give him a stone?

nasb@Matthew:4:10" @Or if he asks for a fish, he will not give him a snake, will he?

nasb@Matthew:4:11" @If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give what is good to those who ask Him!

nasb@Matthew:4:12" @In everything, therefore, treat people the same way you want them to treat you, for this is the Law and the Prophets.

nasb@Matthew:4:13" @ Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it.

nasb@Matthew:4:14" @For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.

nasb@Matthew:4:16" @You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes nor figs from thistles, are they?

nasb@Matthew:4:19" @ Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

nasb@Matthew:4:21" @ Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter.

nasb@Matthew:4:24" @Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock.

nasb@Matthew:4:26" @Everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not act on them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand.

nasb@Matthew:4:28 @When Jesus had finished these words, the crowds were amazed at His teaching;

nasb@Matthew:5:3 @Jesus stretched out His hand and touched him, saying, "I am willing; be cleansed." And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

nasb@Matthew:5:6 @and saying, "Lord, my servant is lying paralyzed at home, fearfully tormented."

nasb@Matthew:5:9" @For I also am a man under authority, with soldiers under me; and I say to this one, 'Go!' and he goes, and to another, 'Come!' and he comes, and to my slave, 'Do this!' and he does it."

nasb@Matthew:5:10 @Now when Jesus heard this, He marveled and said to those who were following, "Truly I say to you, I have not found such great faith with anyone in Israel.

nasb@Matthew:5:11" @I say to you that many will come from east and west, and recline at the table with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven;

nasb@Matthew:5:14 @When Jesus came into Peter's home, He saw his mother-in-law lying sick in bed with a fever.

nasb@Matthew:5:17 @This was to fulfill what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet- " HE HIMSELF TOOK OUR INFIRMITIES AND CARRIED AWAY OUR DISEASES."

nasb@Matthew:5:20 @Jesus said to him, "The foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head."

nasb@Matthew:5:21 @Another of the disciples said to Him, "Lord, permit me first to go and bury my father."

nasb@Matthew:5:23 @When He got into the boat, His disciples followed Him.

nasb@Matthew:5:25 @And they came to Him and woke Him, saying, " Save us, Lord; we are perishing!"

nasb@Matthew:5:27 @The men were amazed, and said, "What kind of a man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?"

nasb@Matthew:5:30 @Now there was a herd of many swine feeding at a distance from them.

nasb@Matthew:5:32 @And He said to them, "Go!" And they came out and went into the swine, and the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea and perished in the waters.

nasb@Matthew:6:1 @Getting into a boat, Jesus crossed over the sea and came to His own city.

nasb@Matthew:6:3 @And some of the scribes said to themselves, "This fellow blasphemes."

nasb@Matthew:6:5" @Which is easier, to say, ' Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Get up, and walk'?

nasb@Matthew:6:8 @But when the crowds saw this, they were awestruck, and glorified God, who had given such authority to men.

nasb@Matthew:6:10 @Then it happened that as Jesus was reclining at the table in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and were dining with Jesus and His disciples.

nasb@Matthew:6:11 @When the Pharisees saw this, they said to His disciples, " Why is your Teacher eating with the tax collectors and sinners?"

nasb@Matthew:6:12 @But when Jesus heard this, He said, "It is not those who are healthy who need a physician, but those who are sick.

nasb@Matthew:6:13" @But go and learn what this means- ' I DESIRE COMPASSION, AND NOT SACRIFICE,' for I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners."

nasb@Matthew:6:14 @Then the disciples of John came to Him, asking, "Why do we and the Pharisees fast, but Your disciples do not fast?"

nasb@Matthew:6:15 @And Jesus said to them, "The attendants of the bridegroom cannot mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them, can they? But the days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast.

nasb@Matthew:6:17" @Nor do people put new wine into old wineskins; otherwise the wineskins burst, and the wine pours out and the wineskins are ruined; but they put new wine into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved."

nasb@Matthew:6:19 @Jesus got up and began to follow him, and so did His disciples.

nasb@Matthew:6:20 @And a woman who had been suffering from a hemorrhage for twelve years, came up behind Him and touched the fringe of His cloak;

nasb@Matthew:6:21 @for she was saying to herself, "If I only touch His garment, I will get well."

nasb@Matthew:6:23 @When Jesus came into the official's house, and saw the flute-players and the crowd in noisy disorder,

nasb@Matthew:6:24 @He said, "Leave; for the girl has not died, but is asleep." And they began laughing at Him.

nasb@Matthew:6:26 @This news spread throughout all that land.

nasb@Matthew:6:28 @When He entered the house, the blind men came up to Him, and Jesus said to them, "Do you believe that I am able to do this?" They said to Him, "Yes, Lord."

nasb@Matthew:6:30 @And their eyes were opened. And Jesus sternly warned them- "See that no one knows about this!"

nasb@Matthew:6:33 @After the demon was cast out, the mute man spoke; and the crowds were amazed, and were saying, " Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel."

nasb@Matthew:6:34 @But the Pharisees were saying, "He casts out the demons by the ruler of the demons."

nasb@Matthew:6:35 @Jesus was going through all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every kind of disease and every kind of sickness.

nasb@Matthew:6:36 @Seeing the people, He felt compassion for them, because they were distressed and dispirited like sheep without a shepherd.

nasb@Matthew:6:37 @Then He said to His disciples, " The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.

nasb@Matthew:6:38" @Therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest."

nasb@Matthew:7:1 @Jesus summoned His twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every kind of disease and every kind of sickness.

nasb@Matthew:7:2 @Now the names of the twelve apostles are these- The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; and James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;

nasb@Matthew:7:4 @Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot, the one who betrayed Him.

nasb@Matthew:7:6 @but rather go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

nasb@Matthew:7:7" @And as you go, preach, saying, ' The kingdom of heaven is at hand.'

nasb@Matthew:7:8" @Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. Freely you received, freely give.

nasb@Matthew:7:10 @or a bag for your journey, or even two coats, or sandals, or a staff; for the worker is worthy of his support.

nasb@Matthew:7:11" @And whatever city or village you enter, inquire who is worthy in it, and stay at his house until you leave that city.

nasb@Matthew:7:13" @If the house is worthy, give it your blessing of peace. But if it is not worthy, take back your blessing of peace.

nasb@Matthew:7:20" @For it is not you who speak, but it is the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.

nasb@Matthew:7:21" @ Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death.

nasb@Matthew:7:22" @ You will be hated by all because of My name, but it is the one who has endured to the end who will be saved.

nasb@Matthew:7:23" @But whenever they persecute you in one city, flee to the next; for truly I say to you, you will not finish going through the cities of Israel until the Son of Man comes.

nasb@Matthew:7:24" @ A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a slave above his master.

nasb@Matthew:7:25" @It is enough for the disciple that he become like his teacher, and the slave like his master. If they have called the head of the house Beelzebul, how much more will they malign the members of his household!

nasb@Matthew:7:26" @Therefore do not fear them, for there is nothing concealed that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known.

nasb@Matthew:7:27" @ What I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear whispered in your ear, proclaim upon the housetops.

nasb@Matthew:7:28" @Do not fear those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul; but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

nasb@Matthew:7:32" @Therefore everyone who confesses Me before men, I will also confess him before My Father who is in heaven.

nasb@Matthew:7:33" @But whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father who is in heaven.

nasb@Matthew:7:35" @For I came to SET A MAN AGAINST HIS FATHER, AND A DAUGHTER AGAINST HER MOTHER, AND A DAUGHTER-IN-LAW AGAINST HER MOTHER-IN-LAW;

nasb@Matthew:7:36 @and A MAN'S ENEMIES WILL BE THE MEMBERS OF HIS HOUSEHOLD.

nasb@Matthew:7:37" @ He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; and he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.

nasb@Matthew:7:38" @And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me.

nasb@Matthew:7:39" @ He who has found his life will lose it, and he who has lost his life for My sake will find it.

nasb@Matthew:7:42" @And whoever in the name of a disciple gives to one of these little ones even a cup of cold water to drink, truly I say to you, he shall not lose his reward."

nasb@Matthew:8:1 @When Jesus had finished giving instructions to His twelve disciples, He departed from there to teach and preach in their cities.

nasb@Matthew:8:2 @Now when John, while imprisoned, heard of the works of Christ, he sent word by his disciples

nasb@Matthew:8:5 @the BLIND RECEIVE SIGHT and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the POOR HAVE THE GOSPEL PREACHED TO THEM.

nasb@Matthew:8:6" @And blessed is he who does not take offense at Me."

nasb@Matthew:8:9" @But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and one who is more than a prophet.

nasb@Matthew:8:10" @This is the one about whom it is written, ' BEHOLD, I SEND MY MESSENGER AHEAD OF YOU, WHO WILL PREPARE YOUR WAY BEFORE YOU.'

nasb@Matthew:8:11" @Truly I say to you, among those born of women there has not arisen anyone greater than John the Baptist! Yet the one who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

nasb@Matthew:8:12" @ From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and violent men take it by force.

nasb@Matthew:8:14" @And if you are willing to accept it, John himself is Elijah who was to come.

nasb@Matthew:8:16" @But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the market places, who call out to the other children,

nasb@Matthew:8:19" @The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, 'Behold, a gluttonous man and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!' Yet wisdom is vindicated by her deeds."

nasb@Matthew:8:20 @Then He began to denounce the cities in which most of His miracles were done, because they did not repent.

nasb@Matthew:8:23" @And you, Capernaum, will not be exalted to heaven, will you? You will descend to Hades; for if the miracles had occurred in Sodom which occurred in you, it would have remained to this day.

nasb@Matthew:8:25 @At that time Jesus said, "I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent and have revealed them to infants.

nasb@Matthew:8:26" @Yes, Father, for this way was well-pleasing in Your sight.

nasb@Matthew:8:30" @For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."

nasb@Matthew:9:1 @At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath, and His disciples became hungry and began to pick the heads of grain and eat.

nasb@Matthew:9:2 @But when the Pharisees saw this, they said to Him, "Look, Your disciples do what is not lawful to do on a Sabbath."

nasb@Matthew:9:3 @But He said to them, "Have you not read what David did when he became hungry, he and his companions,

nasb@Matthew:9:6" @But I say to you that something greater than the temple is here.

nasb@Matthew:9:7" @But if you had known what this means, ' I DESIRE COMPASSION, AND NOT A SACRIFICE,' you would not have condemned the innocent.

nasb@Matthew:9:8" @For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath."

nasb@Matthew:9:10 @And a man was there whose hand was withered. And they questioned Jesus, asking, " Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?"--so that they might accuse Him.

nasb@Matthew:9:11 @And He said to them, " What man is there among you who has a sheep, and if it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will he not take hold of it and lift it out?

nasb@Matthew:9:12" @ How much more valuable then is a man than a sheep! So then, it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath."

nasb@Matthew:9:14 @But the Pharisees went out and conspired against Him, as to how they might destroy Him.

nasb@Matthew:9:15 @But Jesus, aware of this, withdrew from there. Many followed Him, and He healed them all,

nasb@Matthew:9:17 @This was to fulfill what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet-

nasb@Matthew:9:18" @ BEHOLD, MY SERVANT WHOM I HAVE CHOSEN; MY BELOVED IN WHOM MY SOUL is WELL-PLEASED; I WILL PUT MY SPIRIT UPON HIM, AND HE SHALL PROCLAIM JUSTICE TO THE GENTILES.

nasb@Matthew:9:19" @ HE WILL NOT QUARREL, NOR CRY OUT; NOR WILL ANYONE HEAR HIS VOICE IN THE STREETS.

nasb@Matthew:9:21" @ AND IN HIS NAME THE GENTILES WILL HOPE."

nasb@Matthew:9:23 @All the crowds were amazed, and were saying, "This man cannot be the Son of David, can he?"

nasb@Matthew:9:24 @But when the Pharisees heard this, they said, "This man casts out demons only by Beelzebul the ruler of the demons."

nasb@Matthew:9:25 @And knowing their thoughts Jesus said to them, "Any kingdom divided against itself is laid waste; and any city or house divided against itself will not stand.

nasb@Matthew:9:26" @If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself; how then will his kingdom stand?

nasb@Matthew:9:27" @If I by Beelzebul cast out demons, by whom do your sons cast them out? For this reason they will be your judges.

nasb@Matthew:9:29" @Or how can anyone enter the strong man's house and carry off his property, unless he first binds the strong man? And then he will plunder his house.

nasb@Matthew:9:30" @ He who is not with Me is against Me; and he who does not gather with Me scatters.

nasb@Matthew:9:32" @ Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come.

nasb@Matthew:9:33" @Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree bad and its fruit bad; for the tree is known by its fruit.

nasb@Matthew:9:34" @ You brood of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak what is good? For the mouth speaks out of that which fills the heart.

nasb@Matthew:9:35" @ The good man brings out of his good treasure what is good; and the evil man brings out of his evil treasure what is evil.

nasb@Matthew:9:38 @Then some of the scribes and Pharisees said to Him, "Teacher, we want to see a sign from You."

nasb@Matthew:9:41" @ The men of Nineveh will stand up with this generation at the judgment, and will condemn it because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, something greater than Jonah is here.

nasb@Matthew:9:42" @ The Queen of the South will rise up with this generation at the judgment and will condemn it, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, something greater than Solomon is here.

nasb@Matthew:9:45" @Then it goes and takes along with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there; and the last state of that man becomes worse than the first. That is the way it will also be with this evil generation."

nasb@Matthew:9:46 @While He was still speaking to the crowds, behold, His mother and brothers were standing outside, seeking to speak to Him.

nasb@Matthew:9:48 @But Jesus answered the one who was telling Him and said, "Who is My mother and who are My brothers?"

nasb@Matthew:9:49 @And stretching out His hand toward His disciples, He said, "Behold My mother and My brothers!

nasb@Matthew:9:50" @For whoever does the will of My Father who is in heaven, he is My brother and sister and mother."

nasb@Matthew:10:6" @But when the sun had risen, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.

nasb@Matthew:10:10 @And the disciples came and said to Him, "Why do You speak to them in parables?"

nasb@Matthew:10:14" @In their case the prophecy of Isaiah is being fulfilled, which says, ' YOU WILL KEEP ON HEARING, BUT WILL NOT UNDERSTAND; YOU WILL KEEP ON SEEING, BUT WILL NOT PERCEIVE;

nasb@Matthew:10:15 @FOR THE HEART OF THIS PEOPLE HAS BECOME DULL, WITH THEIR EARS THEY SCARCELY HEAR, AND THEY HAVE CLOSED THEIR EYES, OTHERWISE THEY WOULD SEE WITH THEIR EYES, HEAR WITH THEIR EARS, AND UNDERSTAND WITH THEIR HEART AND RETURN, AND I WOULD HEAL THEM.'

nasb@Matthew:10:19" @When anyone hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what has been sown in his heart. This is the one on whom seed was sown beside the road.

nasb@Matthew:10:20" @The one on whom seed was sown on the rocky places, this is the man who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy;

nasb@Matthew:10:21 @yet he has no firm root in himself, but is only temporary, and when affliction or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he falls away.

nasb@Matthew:10:22" @And the one on whom seed was sown among the thorns, this is the man who hears the word, and the worry of the world and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.

nasb@Matthew:10:23" @And the one on whom seed was sown on the good soil, this is the man who hears the word and understands it; who indeed bears fruit and brings forth, some a hundredfold, some sixty, and some thirty."

nasb@Matthew:10:24 @Jesus presented another parable to them, saying, " The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field.

nasb@Matthew:10:25" @But while his men were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went away.

nasb@Matthew:10:28" @And he said to them, 'An enemy has done this!' The slaves said to him, 'Do you want us, then, to go and gather them up?'

nasb@Matthew:10:31 @He presented another parable to them, saying, " The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field;

nasb@Matthew:10:32 @and this is smaller than all other seeds, but when it is full grown, it is larger than the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that THE BIRDS OF THE AIR come and NEST IN ITS BRANCHES."

nasb@Matthew:10:33 @He spoke another parable to them, " The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three pecks of flour until it was all leavened."

nasb@Matthew:10:35 @This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet- " I WILL OPEN MY MOUTH IN PARABLES; I WILL UTTER THINGS HIDDEN SINCE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD."

nasb@Matthew:10:36 @Then He left the crowds and went into the house. And His disciples came to Him and said, " Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field."

nasb@Matthew:10:37 @And He said, "The one who sows the good seed is the Son of Man,

nasb@Matthew:10:38 @and the field is the world; and as for the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom; and the tares are the sons of the evil one;

nasb@Matthew:10:39 @and the enemy who sowed them is the devil, and the harvest is the end of the age; and the reapers are angels.

nasb@Matthew:10:41" @ The Son of Man will send forth His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all stumbling blocks, and those who commit lawlessness,

nasb@Matthew:10:44" @ The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in the field, which a man found and hid again; and from joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.

nasb@Matthew:10:45" @Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking fine pearls,

nasb@Matthew:10:47" @Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a dragnet cast into the sea, and gathering fish of every kind;

nasb@Matthew:10:48 @and when it was filled, they drew it up on the beach; and they sat down and gathered the good fish into containers, but the bad they threw away.

nasb@Matthew:10:52 @And Jesus said to them, "Therefore every scribe who has become a disciple of the kingdom of heaven is like a head of a household, who brings out of his treasure things new and old."

nasb@Matthew:10:53 @When Jesus had finished these parables, He departed from there.

nasb@Matthew:10:54 @He came to His hometown and began teaching them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, "Where did this man get this wisdom and these miraculous powers?

nasb@Matthew:10:55" @Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not His mother called Mary, and His brothers, James and Joseph and Simon and Judas?

nasb@Matthew:10:56" @And His sisters, are they not all with us? Where then did this man get all these things?"

nasb@Matthew:10:57 @And they took offense at Him. But Jesus said to them, " A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown and in his own household."

nasb@Matthew:11:2 @and said to his servants, " This is John the Baptist; he has risen from the dead, and that is why miraculous powers are at work in him."

nasb@Matthew:11:3 @For when Herod had John arrested, he bound him and put him in prison because of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip.

nasb@Matthew:11:4 @For John had been saying to him, " It is not lawful for you to have her."

nasb@Matthew:11:7 @so much that he promised with an oath to give her whatever she asked.

nasb@Matthew:11:8 @Having been prompted by her mother, she said, "Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist."

nasb@Matthew:11:9 @Although he was grieved, the king commanded it to be given because of his oaths, and because of his dinner guests.

nasb@Matthew:11:10 @He sent and had John beheaded in the prison.

nasb@Matthew:11:11 @And his head was brought on a platter and given to the girl, and she brought it to her mother.

nasb@Matthew:11:12 @His disciples came and took away the body and buried it; and they went and reported to Jesus.

nasb@Matthew:11:13 @Now when Jesus heard about John, He withdrew from there in a boat to a secluded place by Himself; and when the people heard of this, they followed Him on foot from the cities.

nasb@Matthew:11:15 @When it was evening, the disciples came to Him and said, "This place is desolate and the hour is already late; so send the crowds away, that they may go into the villages and buy food for themselves."

nasb@Matthew:11:17 @They said to Him, "We have here only five loaves and two fish."

nasb@Matthew:11:19 @Ordering the people to sit down on the grass, He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up toward heaven, He blessed the food, and breaking the loaves He gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds,

nasb@Matthew:11:20 @and they all ate and were satisfied. They picked up what was left over of the broken pieces, twelve full baskets.

nasb@Matthew:11:22 @Immediately He made the disciples get into the boat and go ahead of Him to the other side, while He sent the crowds away.

nasb@Matthew:11:24 @But the boat was already a long distance from the land, battered by the waves; for the wind was contrary.

nasb@Matthew:11:26 @When the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified, and said, "It is a ghost!" And they cried out in fear.

nasb@Matthew:11:27 @But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, " Take courage, it is I; do not be afraid."

nasb@Matthew:11:28 @Peter said to Him, "Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water."

nasb@Matthew:11:31 @Immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and took hold of him, and said to him, " You of little faith, why did you doubt?"

nasb@Matthew:11:35 @And when the men of that place recognized Him, they sent word into all that surrounding district and brought to Him all who were sick;

nasb@Matthew:11:36 @and they implored Him that they might just touch the fringe of His cloak; and as many as touched it were cured.

nasb@Matthew:11:15 @Then some Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem and said,

nasb@Matthew:11:2" @Why do Your disciples break the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread."

nasb@Matthew:11:4" @For God said, ' HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER,' and, ' HE WHO SPEAKS EVIL OF FATHER OR MOTHER IS TO BE PUT TO DEATH.'

nasb@Matthew:11:5" @But you say, 'Whoever says to his father or mother, "Whatever I have that would help you has been given to God,"

nasb@Matthew:11:6 @he is not to honor his father or his mother.' And by this you invalidated the word of God for the sake of your tradition.

nasb@Matthew:11:7" @You hypocrites, rightly did Isaiah prophesy of you-

nasb@Matthew:11:8 @' THIS PEOPLE HONORS ME WITH THEIR LIPS, BUT THEIR HEART IS FAR AWAY FROM ME.

nasb@Matthew:11:11" @ It is not what enters into the mouth that defiles the man, but what proceeds out of the mouth, this defiles the man."

nasb@Matthew:11:12 @Then the disciples came and said to Him, "Do You know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this statement?"

nasb@Matthew:11:17" @Do you not understand that everything that goes into the mouth passes into the stomach, and is eliminated?

nasb@Matthew:11:21 @Jesus went away from there, and withdrew into the district of Tyre and Sidon.

nasb@Matthew:11:22 @And a Canaanite woman from that region came out and began to cry out, saying, "Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David; my daughter is cruelly demon-possessed."

nasb@Matthew:11:23 @But He did not answer her a word. And His disciples came and implored Him, saying, "Send her away, because she keeps shouting at us."

nasb@Matthew:11:24 @But He answered and said, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel."

nasb@Matthew:11:26 @And He answered and said, "It is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs."

nasb@Matthew:11:28 @Then Jesus said to her, "O woman, your faith is great; it shall be done for you as you wish." And her daughter was healed at once.

nasb@Matthew:11:30 @And large crowds came to Him, bringing with them those who were lame, crippled, blind, mute, and many others, and they laid them down at His feet; and He healed them.

nasb@Matthew:11:31 @So the crowd marveled as they saw the mute speaking, the crippled restored, and the lame walking, and the blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel.

nasb@Matthew:11:32 @And Jesus called His disciples to Him, and said, " I feel compassion for the people, because they have remained with Me now three days and have nothing to eat; and I do not want to send them away hungry, for they might faint on the way."

nasb@Matthew:11:33 @The disciples said to Him, "Where would we get so many loaves in this desolate place to satisfy such a large crowd?"

nasb@Matthew:11:34 @And Jesus said to them, "How many loaves do you have?" And they said, "Seven, and a few small fish."

nasb@Matthew:11:36 @and He took the seven loaves and the fish; and giving thanks, He broke them and started giving them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people.

nasb@Matthew:11:37 @And they all ate and were satisfied, and they picked up what was left over of the broken pieces, seven large baskets full.

nasb@Matthew:12:1 @The Pharisees and Sadducees came up, and testing Jesus, they asked Him to show them a sign from heaven.

nasb@Matthew:12:2 @But He replied to them, " When it is evening, you say, 'It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.'

nasb@Matthew:12:3" @And in the morning, 'There will be a storm today, for the sky is red and threatening.' Do you know how to discern the appearance of the sky, but cannot discern the signs of the times?

nasb@Matthew:12:5 @And the disciples came to the other side of the sea, but they had forgotten to bring any bread.

nasb@Matthew:12:6 @And Jesus said to them, "Watch out and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees."

nasb@Matthew:12:7 @They began to discuss this among themselves, saying, "He said that because we did not bring any bread."

nasb@Matthew:12:8 @But Jesus, aware of this, said, " You men of little faith, why do you discuss among yourselves that you have no bread?

nasb@Matthew:12:11" @How is it that you do not understand that I did not speak to you concerning bread? But beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees."

nasb@Matthew:12:12 @Then they understood that He did not say to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

nasb@Matthew:12:13 @Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, He was asking His disciples, "Who do people say that the Son of Man is?"

nasb@Matthew:12:14 @And they said, "Some say John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; but still others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets."

nasb@Matthew:12:16 @Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."

nasb@Matthew:12:17 @And Jesus said to him, "Blessed are you, Simon Barjona, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father who is in heaven.

nasb@Matthew:12:18" @I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it.

nasb@Matthew:12:20 @Then He warned the disciples that they should tell no one that He was the Christ.

nasb@Matthew:12:21 @From that time Jesus began to show His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised up on the third day.

nasb@Matthew:12:22 @Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him, saying, "God forbid it, Lord! This shall never happen to You."

nasb@Matthew:12:24 @Then Jesus said to His disciples, "If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me.

nasb@Matthew:12:25" @For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.

nasb@Matthew:12:26" @For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?

nasb@Matthew:12:27" @For the Son of Man is going to come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and WILL THEN REPAY EVERY MAN ACCORDING TO HIS DEEDS.

nasb@Matthew:12:28" @Truly I say to you, there are some of those who are standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom."

nasb@Matthew:13:1 @Six days later Jesus took with Him Peter and James and John his brother, and led them up on a high mountain by themselves.

nasb@Matthew:13:2 @And He was transfigured before them; and His face shone like the sun, and His garments became as white as light.

nasb@Matthew:13:4 @Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good for us to be here; if You wish, I will make three tabernacles here, one for You, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

nasb@Matthew:13:5 @While he was still speaking, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and behold, a voice out of the cloud said, " This is My beloved Son, with whom I am well-pleased; listen to Him!"

nasb@Matthew:13:6 @When the disciples heard this, they fell face down to the ground and were terrified.

nasb@Matthew:13:9 @As they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, " Tell the vision to no one until the Son of Man has risen from the dead."

nasb@Matthew:13:10 @And His disciples asked Him, "Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"

nasb@Matthew:13:11 @And He answered and said, "Elijah is coming and will restore all things;

nasb@Matthew:13:12 @but I say to you that Elijah already came, and they did not recognize him, but did to him whatever they wished. So also the Son of Man is going to suffer at their hands."

nasb@Matthew:13:13 @Then the disciples understood that He had spoken to them about John the Baptist.

nasb@Matthew:13:14 @When they came to the crowd, a man came up to Jesus, falling on his knees before Him and saying,

nasb@Matthew:13:15" @Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is a lunatic and is very ill; for he often falls into the fire and often into the water.

nasb@Matthew:13:16" @I brought him to Your disciples, and they could not cure him."

nasb@Matthew:13:19 @Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, "Why could we not drive it out?"

nasb@Matthew:13:20 @And He said to them, "Because of the littleness of your faith; for truly I say to you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you.

nasb@Matthew:13:21 @[" But this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting."]

nasb@Matthew:13:22 @And while they were gathering together in Galilee, Jesus said to them, "The Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men;

nasb@Matthew:13:23 @and they will kill Him, and He will be raised on the third day." And they were deeply grieved.

nasb@Matthew:13:27" @However, so that we do not offend them, go to the sea and throw in a hook, and take the first fish that comes up; and when you open its mouth, you will find a shekel. Take that and give it to them for you and Me."

nasb@Matthew:14:1 @At that time the disciples came to Jesus and said, " Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?"

nasb@Matthew:14:4" @Whoever then humbles himself as this child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

nasb@Matthew:14:6 @but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a heavy millstone hung around his neck, and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.

nasb@Matthew:14:7" @Woe to the world because of its stumbling blocks! For it is inevitable that stumbling blocks come; but woe to that man through whom the stumbling block comes!

nasb@Matthew:14:8" @ If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it from you; it is better for you to enter life crippled or lame, than to have two hands or two feet and be cast into the eternal fire.

nasb@Matthew:14:9" @ If your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it from you. It is better for you to enter life with one eye, than to have two eyes and be cast into the fiery hell.

nasb@Matthew:14:10" @See that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that their angels in heaven continually see the face of My Father who is in heaven.

nasb@Matthew:14:12" @What do you think? If any man has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go and search for the one that is straying?

nasb@Matthew:14:14" @So it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones perish.

nasb@Matthew:14:15" @ If your brother sins, go and show him his fault in private; if he listens to you, you have won your brother.

nasb@Matthew:14:16" @But if he does not listen to you, take one or two more with you, so that BY THE MOUTH OF TWO OR THREE WITNESSES EVERY FACT MAY BE CONFIRMED.

nasb@Matthew:14:17" @If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector.

nasb@Matthew:14:19" @Again I say to you, that if two of you agree on earth about anything that they may ask, it shall be done for them by My Father who is in heaven.

nasb@Matthew:14:23" @For this reason the kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who wished to settle accounts with his slaves.

nasb@Matthew:14:25" @But since he did not have the means to repay, his lord commanded him to be sold, along with his wife and children and all that he had, and repayment to be made.

nasb@Matthew:14:28" @But that slave went out and found one of his fellow slaves who owed him a hundred denarii; and he seized him and began to choke him, saying, 'Pay back what you owe.'

nasb@Matthew:14:29" @So his fellow slave fell to the ground and began to plead with him, saying, 'Have patience with me and I will repay you.'

nasb@Matthew:14:30" @But he was unwilling and went and threw him in prison until he should pay back what was owed.

nasb@Matthew:14:31" @So when his fellow slaves saw what had happened, they were deeply grieved and came and reported to their lord all that had happened.

nasb@Matthew:14:32" @Then summoning him, his lord said to him, 'You wicked slave, I forgave you all that debt because you pleaded with me.

nasb@Matthew:14:34" @And his lord, moved with anger, handed him over to the torturers until he should repay all that was owed him.

nasb@Matthew:14:35" @ My heavenly Father will also do the same to you, if each of you does not forgive his brother from your heart."

nasb@Matthew:15:1 @When Jesus had finished these words, He departed from Galilee and came into the region of Judea beyond the Jordan;

nasb@Matthew:15:3 @Some Pharisees came to Jesus, testing Him and asking, " Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason at all?"

nasb@Matthew:15:5 @and said, ' FOR THIS REASON A MAN SHALL LEAVE HIS FATHER AND MOTHER AND BE JOINED TO HIS WIFE, AND THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH'?

nasb@Matthew:15:8 @He said to them, "Because of your hardness of heart Moses permitted you to divorce your wives; but from the beginning it has not been this way.

nasb@Matthew:15:9" @And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery."

nasb@Matthew:15:10 @The disciples said to Him, "If the relationship of the man with his wife is like this, it is better not to marry."

nasb@Matthew:15:11 @But He said to them, " Not all men can accept this statement, but only those to whom it has been given.

nasb@Matthew:15:12" @For there are eunuchs who were born that way from their mother's womb; and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men; and there are also eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. He who is able to accept this, let him accept it."

nasb@Matthew:15:13 @Then some children were brought to Him so that He might lay His hands on them and pray; and the disciples rebuked them.

nasb@Matthew:15:15 @After laying His hands on them, He departed from there.

nasb@Matthew:15:17 @And He said to him, "Why are you asking Me about what is good? There is only One who is good; but if you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments."

nasb@Matthew:15:21 @Jesus said to him, "If you wish to be complete, go and sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me."

nasb@Matthew:15:22 @But when the young man heard this statement, he went away grieving; for he was one who owned much property.

nasb@Matthew:15:23 @And Jesus said to His disciples, "Truly I say to you, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.

nasb@Matthew:15:24" @Again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."

nasb@Matthew:15:25 @When the disciples heard this, they were very astonished and said, "Then who can be saved?"

nasb@Matthew:15:26 @And looking at them Jesus said to them, " With people this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."

nasb@Matthew:15:28 @And Jesus said to them, "Truly I say to you, that you who have followed Me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man will sit on His glorious throne, you also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

nasb@Matthew:15:29" @And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or farms for My name's sake, will receive many times as much, and will inherit eternal life.

nasb@Matthew:15:20" @For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard.

nasb@Matthew:15:2" @When he had agreed with the laborers for a denarius for the day, he sent them into his vineyard.

nasb@Matthew:15:4 @and to those he said, 'You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.' And so they went.

nasb@Matthew:15:8" @When evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, 'Call the laborers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last group to the first.'

nasb@Matthew:15:14 @'Take what is yours and go, but I wish to give to this last man the same as to you.

nasb@Matthew:15:15 @'Is it not lawful for me to do what I wish with what is my own? Or is your eye envious because I am generous?'

nasb@Matthew:15:17 @As Jesus was about to go up to Jerusalem, He took the twelve disciples aside by themselves, and on the way He said to them,

nasb@Matthew:15:19 @and will hand Him over to the Gentiles to mock and scourge and crucify Him, and on the third day He will be raised up."

nasb@Matthew:15:21 @And He said to her, "What do you wish?" She said to Him, "Command that in Your kingdom these two sons of mine may sit one on Your right and one on Your left."

nasb@Matthew:15:23 @He said to them, " My cup you shall drink; but to sit on My right and on My left, this is not Mine to give, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared by My Father."

nasb@Matthew:15:24 @And hearing this, the ten became indignant with the two brothers.

nasb@Matthew:15:25 @But Jesus called them to Himself and said, "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men exercise authority over them.

nasb@Matthew:15:26" @It is not this way among you, but whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant,

nasb@Matthew:15:27 @and whoever wishes to be first among you shall be your slave;

nasb@Matthew:16:1 @When they had approached Jerusalem and had come to Bethphage, at the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,

nasb@Matthew:16:4 @This took place to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet-

nasb@Matthew:16:5" @ SAY TO THE DAUGHTER OF ZION, 'BEHOLD YOUR KING IS COMING TO YOU, GENTLE, AND MOUNTED ON A DONKEY, EVEN ON A COLT, THE FOAL OF A BEAST OF BURDEN.'"

nasb@Matthew:16:6 @The disciples went and did just as Jesus had instructed them,

nasb@Matthew:16:9 @The crowds going ahead of Him, and those who followed, were shouting, "Hosanna to the Son of David; BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD; Hosanna in the highest!"

nasb@Matthew:16:10 @When He had entered Jerusalem, all the city was stirred, saying, "Who is this?"

nasb@Matthew:16:11 @And the crowds were saying, "This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth in Galilee."

nasb@Matthew:16:16 @and said to Him, "Do You hear what these children are saying?" And Jesus said to them, "Yes; have you never read, ' OUT OF THE MOUTH OF INFANTS AND NURSING BABIES YOU HAVE PREPARED PRAISE FOR YOURSELF'?"

nasb@Matthew:16:20 @Seeing this, the disciples were amazed and asked, "How did the fig tree wither all at once?"

nasb@Matthew:16:21 @And Jesus answered and said to them, "Truly I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, 'Be taken up and cast into the sea,' it will happen.

nasb@Matthew:16:23 @When He entered the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to Him while He was teaching, and said, "By what authority are You doing these things, and who gave You this authority?"

nasb@Matthew:16:25" @The baptism of John was from what source, from heaven or from men?" And they began reasoning among themselves, saying, "If we say, 'From heaven,' He will say to us, 'Then why did you not believe him?'

nasb@Matthew:16:31" @Which of the two did the will of his father?" They said, "The first." Jesus said to them, "Truly I say to you that the tax collectors and prostitutes will get into the kingdom of God before you.

nasb@Matthew:16:32" @For John came to you in the way of righteousness and you did not believe him; but the tax collectors and prostitutes did believe him; and you, seeing this, did not even feel remorse afterward so as to believe him.

nasb@Matthew:16:33" @Listen to another parable. There was a landowner who PLANTED A VINEYARD AND PUT A WALL AROUND IT AND DUG A WINE PRESS IN IT, AND BUILT A TOWER, and rented it out to vine-growers and went on a journey.

nasb@Matthew:16:34" @When the harvest time approached, he sent his slaves to the vine-growers to receive his produce.

nasb@Matthew:16:35" @The vine-growers took his slaves and beat one, and killed another, and stoned a third.

nasb@Matthew:16:37" @But afterward he sent his son to them, saying, 'They will respect my son.'

nasb@Matthew:16:38" @But when the vine-growers saw the son, they said among themselves, 'This is the heir; come, let us kill him and seize his inheritance.'

nasb@Matthew:16:42 @Jesus said to them, "Did you never read in the Scriptures, ' THE STONE WHICH THE BUILDERS REJECTED, THIS BECAME THE CHIEF CORNER stone; THIS CAME ABOUT FROM THE LORD, AND IT IS MARVELOUS IN OUR EYES'?

nasb@Matthew:16:44" @And he who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; but on whomever it falls, it will scatter him like dust."

nasb@Matthew:16:45 @When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard His parables, they understood that He was speaking about them.

nasb@Matthew:16:2" @ The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who gave a wedding feast for his son.

nasb@Matthew:16:3" @And he sent out his slaves to call those who had been invited to the wedding feast, and they were unwilling to come.

nasb@Matthew:16:4" @Again he sent out other slaves saying, 'Tell those who have been invited, "Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and my fattened livestock are all butchered and everything is ready; come to the wedding feast."'

nasb@Matthew:16:5" @But they paid no attention and went their way, one to his own farm, another to his business,

nasb@Matthew:16:6 @and the rest seized his slaves and mistreated them and killed them.

nasb@Matthew:16:7" @But the king was enraged, and he sent his armies and destroyed those murderers and set their city on fire.

nasb@Matthew:16:8" @Then he said to his slaves, 'The wedding is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy.

nasb@Matthew:16:15 @Then the Pharisees went and plotted together how they might trap Him in what He said.

nasb@Matthew:16:16 @And they sent their disciples to Him, along with the Herodians, saying, "Teacher, we know that You are truthful and teach the way of God in truth, and defer to no one; for You are not partial to any.

nasb@Matthew:16:17" @Tell us then, what do You think? Is it lawful to give a poll-tax to Caesar, or not?"

nasb@Matthew:16:20 @And He said to them, "Whose likeness and inscription is this?"

nasb@Matthew:16:22 @And hearing this, they were amazed, and leaving Him, they went away.

nasb@Matthew:16:23 @On that day some Sadducees (who say there is no resurrection) came to Jesus and questioned Him,

nasb@Matthew:16:24 @asking, "Teacher, Moses said, ' IF A MAN DIES HAVING NO CHILDREN, HIS BROTHER AS NEXT OF KIN SHALL MARRY HIS WIFE, AND RAISE UP CHILDREN FOR HIS BROTHER.'

nasb@Matthew:16:25" @Now there were seven brothers with us; and the first married and died, and having no children left his wife to his brother;

nasb@Matthew:16:29 @But Jesus answered and said to them, "You are mistaken, not understanding the Scriptures nor the power of God.

nasb@Matthew:16:32 @' I AM THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, AND THE GOD OF ISAAC, AND THE GOD OF JACOB'? He is not the God of the dead but of the living."

nasb@Matthew:16:33 @When the crowds heard this, they were astonished at His teaching.

nasb@Matthew:16:34 @But when the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered themselves together.

nasb@Matthew:16:36" @Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?"

nasb@Matthew:16:38" @This is the great and foremost commandment.

nasb@Matthew:16:39" @The second is like it, ' YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.'

nasb@Matthew:16:41 @Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question-

nasb@Matthew:16:42" @What do you think about the Christ, whose son is He?" They said to Him, " The son of David."

nasb@Matthew:16:45" @If David then calls Him 'Lord,' how is He his son?"

nasb@Matthew:17:1 @Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to His disciples,

nasb@Matthew:17:2 @saying- " The scribes and the Pharisees have seated themselves in the chair of Moses;

nasb@Matthew:17:8" @But do not be called Rabbi; for One is your Teacher, and you are all brothers.

nasb@Matthew:17:9" @Do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven.

nasb@Matthew:17:10" @Do not be called leaders; for One is your Leader, that is, Christ.

nasb@Matthew:17:13" @ But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you shut off the kingdom of heaven from people; for you do not enter in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in.

nasb@Matthew:17:14 @[" Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you devour widows' houses, and for a pretense you make long prayers; therefore you will receive greater condemnation.]

nasb@Matthew:17:15" @Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you travel around on sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves.

nasb@Matthew:17:16" @Woe to you, blind guides, who say, ' Whoever swears by the temple, that is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the temple is obligated.'

nasb@Matthew:17:17" @You fools and blind men! Which is more important, the gold or the temple that sanctified the gold?

nasb@Matthew:17:18" @And, 'Whoever swears by the altar, that is nothing, but whoever swears by the offering on it, he is obligated.'

nasb@Matthew:17:19" @You blind men, which is more important, the offering, or the altar that sanctifies the offering?

nasb@Matthew:17:23" @ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint and dill and cummin, and have neglected the weightier provisions of the law- justice and mercy and faithfulness; but these are the things you should have done without neglecting the others.

nasb@Matthew:17:25" @Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside they are full of robbery and self-indulgence.

nasb@Matthew:17:26" @You blind Pharisee, first clean the inside of the cup and of the dish, so that the outside of it may become clean also.

nasb@Matthew:17:27" @ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which on the outside appear beautiful, but inside they are full of dead men's bones and all uncleanness.

nasb@Matthew:17:28" @So you, too, outwardly appear righteous to men, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.

nasb@Matthew:17:29" @ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you build the tombs of the prophets and adorn the monuments of the righteous,

nasb@Matthew:17:34" @ Therefore, behold, I am sending you prophets and wise men and scribes; some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will scourge in your synagogues, and persecute from city to city,

nasb@Matthew:17:36" @Truly I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation.

nasb@Matthew:17:38" @Behold, your house is being left to you desolate!

nasb@Matthew:17:39" @For I say to you, from now on you will not see Me until you say, ' BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!'"

nasb@Matthew:18:1 @Jesus came out from the temple and was going away when His disciples came up to point out the temple buildings to Him.

nasb@Matthew:18:3 @As He was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will these things happen, and what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?"

nasb@Matthew:18:4 @And Jesus answered and said to them, " See to it that no one misleads you.

nasb@Matthew:18:5" @For many will come in My name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and will mislead many.

nasb@Matthew:18:6" @You will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end.

nasb@Matthew:18:7" @For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes.

nasb@Matthew:18:11" @Many false prophets will arise and will mislead many.

nasb@Matthew:18:12" @Because lawlessness is increased, most people's love will grow cold.

nasb@Matthew:18:14" @This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.

nasb@Matthew:18:17" @Whoever is on the housetop must not go down to get the things out that are in his house.

nasb@Matthew:18:18" @Whoever is in the field must not turn back to get his cloak.

nasb@Matthew:18:23" @ Then if anyone says to you, 'Behold, here is the Christ,' or 'There He is,' do not believe him.

nasb@Matthew:18:24" @For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect.

nasb@Matthew:18:26" @So if they say to you, 'Behold, He is in the wilderness,' do not go out, or, 'Behold, He is in the inner rooms,' do not believe them.

nasb@Matthew:18:28" @ Wherever the corpse is, there the vultures will gather.

nasb@Matthew:18:31" @And He will send forth His angels with A GREAT TRUMPET and THEY WILL GATHER TOGETHER His elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.

nasb@Matthew:18:32" @Now learn the parable from the fig tree- when its branch has already become tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near;

nasb@Matthew:18:33 @so, you too, when you see all these things, recognize that He is near, right at the door.

nasb@Matthew:18:34" @Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place.

nasb@Matthew:18:42" @Therefore be on the alert, for you do not know which day your Lord is coming.

nasb@Matthew:18:43" @But be sure of this, that if the head of the house had known at what time of the night the thief was coming, he would have been on the alert and would not have allowed his house to be broken into.

nasb@Matthew:18:44" @For this reason you also must be ready; for the Son of Man is coming at an hour when you do not think He will.

nasb@Matthew:18:45" @ Who then is the faithful and sensible slave whom his master put in charge of his household to give them their food at the proper time?

nasb@Matthew:18:46" @Blessed is that slave whom his master finds so doing when he comes.

nasb@Matthew:18:47" @Truly I say to you that he will put him in charge of all his possessions.

nasb@Matthew:18:48" @But if that evil slave says in his heart, 'My master is not coming for a long time,'

nasb@Matthew:18:49 @and begins to beat his fellow slaves and eat and drink with drunkards;

nasb@Matthew:18:2" @Five of them were foolish, and five were prudent.

nasb@Matthew:18:3" @For when the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them,

nasb@Matthew:18:8" @The foolish said to the prudent, 'Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.'

nasb@Matthew:18:14" @ For it is just like a man about to go on a journey, who called his own slaves and entrusted his possessions to them.

nasb@Matthew:18:15" @To one he gave five talents, to another, two, and to another, one, each according to his own ability; and he went on his journey.

nasb@Matthew:18:18" @But he who received the one talent went away, and dug a hole in the ground and hid his master's money.

nasb@Matthew:18:21" @His master said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful slave. You were faithful with a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master.'

nasb@Matthew:18:23" @His master said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful slave. You were faithful with a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master.'

nasb@Matthew:18:25 @'And I was afraid, and went away and hid your talent in the ground. See, you have what is yours.'

nasb@Matthew:18:26" @But his master answered and said to him, 'You wicked, lazy slave, you knew that I reap where I did not sow and gather where I scattered no seed.

nasb@Matthew:18:31" @But when the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then He will sit on His glorious throne.

nasb@Matthew:18:33 @and He will put the sheep on His right, and the goats on the left.

nasb@Matthew:18:34" @Then the King will say to those on His right, 'Come, you who are blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.

nasb@Matthew:18:36 @naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me.'

nasb@Matthew:18:39 @'When did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?'

nasb@Matthew:18:41" @Then He will also say to those on His left, ' Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels;

nasb@Matthew:18:43 @I was a stranger, and you did not invite Me in; naked, and you did not clothe Me; sick, and in prison, and you did not visit Me.'

nasb@Matthew:18:44" @Then they themselves also will answer, 'Lord, when did we see You hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not take care of You?'

nasb@Matthew:18:46" @These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life."

nasb@Matthew:18:26 @When Jesus had finished all these words, He said to His disciples,

nasb@Matthew:18:2" @ You know that after two days the Passover is coming, and the Son of Man is to be handed over for crucifixion."

nasb@Matthew:18:5 @But they were saying, "Not during the festival, otherwise a riot might occur among the people."

nasb@Matthew:18:7 @a woman came to Him with an alabaster vial of very costly perfume, and she poured it on His head as He reclined at the table.

nasb@Matthew:18:8 @But the disciples were indignant when they saw this, and said, "Why this waste?

nasb@Matthew:18:9" @For this perfume might have been sold for a high price and the money given to the poor."

nasb@Matthew:18:10 @But Jesus, aware of this, said to them, "Why do you bother the woman? For she has done a good deed to Me.

nasb@Matthew:18:12" @For when she poured this perfume on My body, she did it to prepare Me for burial.

nasb@Matthew:18:13" @Truly I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be spoken of in memory of her."

nasb@Matthew:18:14 @Then one of the twelve, named Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests

nasb@Matthew:18:17 @Now on the first day of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Where do You want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?"

nasb@Matthew:18:18 @And He said, "Go into the city to a certain man, and say to him, 'The Teacher says, " My time is near; I am to keep the Passover at your house with My disciples."'"

nasb@Matthew:18:19 @The disciples did as Jesus had directed them; and they prepared the Passover.

nasb@Matthew:18:20 @Now when evening came, Jesus was reclining at the table with the twelve disciples.

nasb@Matthew:18:23 @And He answered, " He who dipped his hand with Me in the bowl is the one who will betray Me.

nasb@Matthew:18:24" @The Son of Man is to go, just as it is written of Him; but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born."

nasb@Matthew:18:25 @And Judas, who was betraying Him, said, "Surely it is not I, Rabbi?" Jesus said to him, " You have said it yourself."

nasb@Matthew:18:26 @While they were eating, Jesus took some bread, and after a blessing, He broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, "Take, eat; this is My body."

nasb@Matthew:18:28 @for this is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for forgiveness of sins.

nasb@Matthew:18:29" @But I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father's kingdom."

nasb@Matthew:18:31 @Then Jesus said to them, "You will all fall away because of Me this night, for it is written, ' I WILL STRIKE DOWN THE SHEPHERD, AND THE SHEEP OF THE FLOCK SHALL BE SCATTERED.'

nasb@Matthew:18:32" @But after I have been raised, I will go ahead of you to Galilee."

nasb@Matthew:18:34 @Jesus said to him, " Truly I say to you that this very night, before a rooster crows, you will deny Me three times."

nasb@Matthew:18:35 @Peter said to Him, " Even if I have to die with You, I will not deny You." All the disciples said the same thing too.

nasb@Matthew:18:36 @Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to His disciples, "Sit here while I go over there and pray."

nasb@Matthew:18:37 @And He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be grieved and distressed.

nasb@Matthew:18:38 @Then He said to them, " My soul is deeply grieved, to the point of death; remain here and keep watch with Me."

nasb@Matthew:18:39 @And He went a little beyond them, and fell on His face and prayed, saying, "My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; yet not as I will, but as You will."

nasb@Matthew:18:40 @And He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, "So, you men could not keep watch with Me for one hour?

nasb@Matthew:18:41" @ Keep watching and praying that you may not enter into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."

nasb@Matthew:18:42 @He went away again a second time and prayed, saying, "My Father, if this cannot pass away unless I drink it, Your will be done."

nasb@Matthew:18:45 @Then He came to the disciples and said to them, "Are you still sleeping and resting? Behold, the hour is at hand and the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners.

nasb@Matthew:18:46" @Get up, let us be going; behold, the one who betrays Me is at hand!"

nasb@Matthew:18:48 @Now he who was betraying Him gave them a sign, saying, "Whomever I kiss, He is the one; seize Him."

nasb@Matthew:18:49 @Immediately Judas went to Jesus and said, "Hail, Rabbi!" and kissed Him.

nasb@Matthew:18:51 @And behold, one of those who were with Jesus reached and drew out his sword, and struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his ear.

nasb@Matthew:18:52 @Then Jesus said to him, "Put your sword back into its place; for all those who take up the sword shall perish by the sword.

nasb@Matthew:18:53" @Or do you think that I cannot appeal to My Father, and He will at once put at My disposal more than twelve legions of angels?

nasb@Matthew:18:54" @How then will the Scriptures be fulfilled, which say that it must happen this way?"

nasb@Matthew:18:56" @But all this has taken place to fulfill the Scriptures of the prophets." Then all the disciples left Him and fled.

nasb@Matthew:18:58 @But Peter was following Him at a distance as far as the courtyard of the high priest, and entered in, and sat down with the officers to see the outcome.

nasb@Matthew:18:61 @and said, "This man stated, ' I am able to destroy the temple of God and to rebuild it in three days.'"

nasb@Matthew:18:62 @The high priest stood up and said to Him, "Do You not answer? What is it that these men are testifying against You?"

nasb@Matthew:18:63 @But Jesus kept silent. And the high priest said to Him, "I adjure You by the living God, that You tell us whether You are the Christ, the Son of God."

nasb@Matthew:18:65 @Then the high priest tore his robes and said, "He has blasphemed! What further need do we have of witnesses? Behold, you have now heard the blasphemy;

nasb@Matthew:18:67 @Then they spat in His face and beat Him with their fists; and others slapped Him,

nasb@Matthew:18:68 @and said, " Prophesy to us, You Christ; who is the one who hit You?"

nasb@Matthew:18:71 @When he had gone out to the gateway, another servant-girl saw him and said to those who were there, "This man was with Jesus of Nazareth."

nasb@Matthew:19:4 @saying, "I have sinned by betraying innocent blood." But they said, "What is that to us? See to that yourself!"

nasb@Matthew:19:6 @The chief priests took the pieces of silver and said, "It is not lawful to put them into the temple treasury, since it is the price of blood."

nasb@Matthew:19:8 @For this reason that field has been called the Field of Blood to this day.

nasb@Matthew:19:9 @Then that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled- " AND THEY TOOK THE THIRTY PIECES OF SILVER, THE PRICE OF THE ONE WHOSE PRICE HAD BEEN SET by the sons of Israel;

nasb@Matthew:19:11 @Now Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor questioned Him, saying, "Are You the King of the Jews?" And Jesus said to him, " It is as you say."

nasb@Matthew:19:15 @Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release for the people any one prisoner whom they wanted.

nasb@Matthew:19:16 @At that time they were holding a notorious prisoner, called Barabbas.

nasb@Matthew:19:17 @So when the people gathered together, Pilate said to them, "Whom do you want me to release for you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?"

nasb@Matthew:19:19 @While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent him a message, saying, "Have nothing to do with that righteous Man; for last night I suffered greatly in a dream because of Him."

nasb@Matthew:19:22 @Pilate said to them, "Then what shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?" They all said, "Crucify Him!"

nasb@Matthew:19:24 @When Pilate saw that he was accomplishing nothing, but rather that a riot was starting, he took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd, saying, "I am innocent of this Man's blood; see to that yourselves."

nasb@Matthew:19:25 @And all the people said, " His blood shall be on us and on our children!"

nasb@Matthew:19:29 @And after twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on His head, and a reed in His right hand; and they knelt down before Him and mocked Him, saying, " Hail, King of the Jews!"

nasb@Matthew:19:31 @After they had mocked Him, they took the scarlet robe off Him and put His own garments back on Him, and led Him away to crucify Him.

nasb@Matthew:19:32 @As they were coming out, they found a man of Cyrene named Simon, whom they pressed into service to bear His cross.

nasb@Matthew:19:35 @And when they had crucified Him, they divided up His garments among themselves by casting lots.

nasb@Matthew:19:37 @And above His head they put up the charge against Him which read, " THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS."

nasb@Matthew:19:42" @ He saved others; He cannot save Himself. He is the King of Israel; let Him now come down from the cross, and we will believe in Him.

nasb@Matthew:19:46 @About the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, " ELI, ELI, LAMA SABACHTHANI?" that is, "MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?"

nasb@Matthew:19:47 @And some of those who were standing there, when they heard it, began saying, "This man is calling for Elijah."

nasb@Matthew:19:50 @And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up His spirit.

nasb@Matthew:19:52 @The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised;

nasb@Matthew:19:53 @and coming out of the tombs after His resurrection they entered the holy city and appeared to many.

nasb@Matthew:19:54 @Now the centurion, and those who were with him keeping guard over Jesus, when they saw the earthquake and the things that were happening, became very frightened and said, "Truly this was the Son of God!"

nasb@Matthew:19:55 @Many women were there looking on from a distance, who had followed Jesus from Galilee while ministering to Him.

nasb@Matthew:19:57 @When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who himself had also become a disciple of Jesus.

nasb@Matthew:19:58 @This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate ordered it to be given to him.

nasb@Matthew:19:60 @and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock; and he rolled a large stone against the entrance of the tomb and went away.

nasb@Matthew:19:62 @Now on the next day, the day after the preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered together with Pilate,

nasb@Matthew:19:63 @and said, "Sir, we remember that when He was still alive that deceiver said, ' After three days I am to rise again.'

nasb@Matthew:19:64" @Therefore, give orders for the grave to be made secure until the third day, otherwise His disciples may come and steal Him away and say to the people, 'He has risen from the dead,' and the last deception will be worse than the first."

nasb@Matthew:20:15 @And they took the money and did as they had been instructed; and this story was widely spread among the Jews, and is to this day.

nasb@Matthew:20:16 @But the eleven disciples proceeded to Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had designated.

nasb@Matthew:20:19" @ Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit,

nasb@Mark:1:1 @The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

nasb@Mark:1:2 @As it is written in Isaiah the prophet- " BEHOLD, I SEND MY MESSENGER AHEAD OF YOU, WHO WILL PREPARE YOUR WAY;

nasb@Mark:1:3 @THE VOICE OF ONE CRYING IN THE WILDERNESS, 'MAKE READY THE WAY OF THE LORD, MAKE HIS PATHS STRAIGHT.'"

nasb@Mark:1:4 @John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.

nasb@Mark:1:6 @John was clothed with camel's hair and wore a leather belt around his waist, and his diet was locusts and wild honey.

nasb@Mark:1:7 @And he was preaching, and saying, "After me One is coming who is mightier than I, and I am not fit to stoop down and untie the thong of His sandals.

nasb@Mark:1:13 @And He was in the wilderness forty days being tempted by Satan; and He was with the wild beasts, and the angels were ministering to Him.

nasb@Mark:1:15 @and saying, " The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel."

nasb@Mark:1:16 @As He was going along by the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew, the brother of Simon, casting a net in the sea; for they were fishermen.

nasb@Mark:1:17 @And Jesus said to them, "Follow Me, and I will make you become fishers of men."

nasb@Mark:1:19 @Going on a little farther, He saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who were also in the boat mending the nets.

nasb@Mark:1:22 @They were amazed at His teaching; for He was teaching them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

nasb@Mark:1:27 @They were all amazed, so that they debated among themselves, saying, "What is this? A new teaching with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him."

nasb@Mark:1:28 @Immediately the news about Him spread everywhere into all the surrounding district of Galilee.

nasb@Mark:1:31 @And He came to her and raised her up, taking her by the hand, and the fever left her, and she waited on them.

nasb@Mark:1:34 @And He healed many who were ill with various diseases, and cast out many demons; and He was not permitting the demons to speak, because they knew who He was.

nasb@Mark:1:36 @Simon and his companions searched for Him;

nasb@Mark:1:37 @they found Him, and said to Him, "Everyone is looking for You."

nasb@Mark:1:38 @He said to them, "Let us go somewhere else to the towns nearby, so that I may preach there also; for that is what I came for."

nasb@Mark:1:40 @And a leper came to Jesus, beseeching Him and falling on his knees before Him, and saying, "If You are willing, You can make me clean."

nasb@Mark:1:41 @Moved with compassion, Jesus stretched out His hand and touched him, and said to him, "I am willing; be cleansed."

nasb@Mark:2:7" @Why does this man speak that way? He is blaspheming; who can forgive sins but God alone?"

nasb@Mark:2:8 @Immediately Jesus, aware in His spirit that they were reasoning that way within themselves, said to them, "Why are you reasoning about these things in your hearts?

nasb@Mark:2:9" @Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, 'Your sins are forgiven'; or to say, 'Get up, and pick up your pallet and walk'?

nasb@Mark:2:12 @And he got up and immediately picked up the pallet and went out in the sight of everyone, so that they were all amazed and were glorifying God, saying, " We have never seen anything like this."

nasb@Mark:2:15 @And it happened that He was reclining at the table in his house, and many tax collectors and sinners were dining with Jesus and His disciples; for there were many of them, and they were following Him.

nasb@Mark:2:16 @When the scribes of the Pharisees saw that He was eating with the sinners and tax collectors, they said to His disciples, " Why is He eating and drinking with tax collectors and sinners?"

nasb@Mark:2:17 @And hearing this, Jesus said to them, " It is not those who are healthy who need a physician, but those who are sick; I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners."

nasb@Mark:2:18 @John's disciples and the Pharisees were fasting; and they came and said to Him, "Why do John's disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but Your disciples do not fast?"

nasb@Mark:2:19 @And Jesus said to them, "While the bridegroom is with them, the attendants of the bridegroom cannot fast, can they? So long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.

nasb@Mark:2:20" @But the days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast in that day.

nasb@Mark:2:21" @No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; otherwise the patch pulls away from it, the new from the old, and a worse tear results.

nasb@Mark:2:22" @No one puts new wine into old wineskins; otherwise the wine will burst the skins, and the wine is lost and the skins as well; but one puts new wine into fresh wineskins."

nasb@Mark:2:23 @And it happened that He was passing through the grainfields on the Sabbath, and His disciples began to make their way along while picking the heads of grain.

nasb@Mark:2:24 @The Pharisees were saying to Him, "Look, why are they doing what is not lawful on the Sabbath?"

nasb@Mark:2:25 @And He said to them, "Have you never read what David did when he was in need and he and his companions became hungry;

nasb@Mark:2:26 @how he entered the house of God in the time of Abiathar the high priest, and ate the consecrated bread, which is not lawful for anyone to eat except the priests, and he also gave it to those who were with him?"

nasb@Mark:2:28" @So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath."

nasb@Mark:3:4 @And He said to them, "Is it lawful to do good or to do harm on the Sabbath, to save a life or to kill?" But they kept silent.

nasb@Mark:3:5 @After looking around at them with anger, grieved at their hardness of heart, He said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." And he stretched it out, and his hand was restored.

nasb@Mark:3:6 @The Pharisees went out and immediately began conspiring with the Herodians against Him, as to how they might destroy Him.

nasb@Mark:3:7 @Jesus withdrew to the sea with His disciples; and a great multitude from Galilee followed; and also from Judea,

nasb@Mark:3:9 @And He told His disciples that a boat should stand ready for Him because of the crowd, so that they would not crowd Him;

nasb@Mark:3:19 @and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Him.

nasb@Mark:3:21 @When His own people heard of this, they went out to take custody of Him; for they were saying, " He has lost His senses."

nasb@Mark:3:22 @The scribes who came down from Jerusalem were saying, "He is possessed by Beelzebul," and " He casts out the demons by the ruler of the demons."

nasb@Mark:3:24" @If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.

nasb@Mark:3:25" @If a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand.

nasb@Mark:3:26" @If Satan has risen up against himself and is divided, he cannot stand, but he is finished!

nasb@Mark:3:27" @ But no one can enter the strong man's house and plunder his property unless he first binds the strong man, and then he will plunder his house.

nasb@Mark:3:29 @but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin"--

nasb@Mark:3:31 @Then His mother and His brothers arrived, and standing outside they sent word to Him and called Him.

nasb@Mark:3:35" @For whoever does the will of God, he is My brother and sister and mother."

nasb@Mark:4:2 @And He was teaching them many things in parables, and was saying to them in His teaching,

nasb@Mark:4:3" @Listen to this! Behold, the sower went out to sow;

nasb@Mark:4:6" @And after the sun had risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.

nasb@Mark:4:10 @As soon as He was alone, His followers, along with the twelve, began asking Him about the parables.

nasb@Mark:4:12 @so that WHILE SEEING, THEY MAY SEE AND NOT PERCEIVE, AND WHILE HEARING, THEY MAY HEAR AND NOT UNDERSTAND, OTHERWISE THEY MIGHT RETURN AND BE FORGIVEN."

nasb@Mark:4:13 @And He said to them, "Do you not understand this parable? How will you understand all the parables?

nasb@Mark:4:15" @These are the ones who are beside the road where the word is sown; and when they hear, immediately Satan comes and takes away the word which has been sown in them.

nasb@Mark:4:17 @and they have no firm root in themselves, but are only temporary; then, when affliction or persecution arises because of the word, immediately they fall away.

nasb@Mark:4:21 @And He was saying to them, " A lamp is not brought to be put under a basket, is it, or under a bed? Is it not brought to be put on the lampstand?

nasb@Mark:4:22" @ For nothing is hidden, except to be revealed; nor has anything been secret, but that it would come to light.

nasb@Mark:4:24 @And He was saying to them, "Take care what you listen to. By your standard of measure it will be measured to you; and more will be given you besides.

nasb@Mark:4:26 @And He was saying, "The kingdom of God is like a man who casts seed upon the soil;

nasb@Mark:4:31" @It is like a mustard seed, which, when sown upon the soil, though it is smaller than all the seeds that are upon the soil,

nasb@Mark:4:32 @yet when it is sown, it grows up and becomes larger than all the garden plants and forms large branches; so that THE BIRDS OF THE AIR can NEST UNDER ITS SHADE."

nasb@Mark:4:34 @and He did not speak to them without a parable; but He was explaining everything privately to His own disciples.

nasb@Mark:4:38 @Jesus Himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion; and they woke Him and said to Him, "Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?"

nasb@Mark:4:41 @They became very much afraid and said to one another, "Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey HimNULL"

nasb@Mark:5:3 @and he had his dwelling among the tombs. And no one was able to bind him anymore, even with a chain;

nasb@Mark:5:6 @Seeing Jesus from a distance, he ran up and bowed down before Him;

nasb@Mark:5:9 @And He was asking him, "What is your name?" And he said to Him, "My name is Legion; for we are many."

nasb@Mark:5:13 @Jesus gave them permission. And coming out, the unclean spirits entered the swine; and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea, about two thousand of them; and they were drowned in the sea.

nasb@Mark:5:15 @They came to Jesus and observed the man who had been demon-possessed sitting down, clothed and in his right mind, the very man who had had the " legion"; and they became frightened.

nasb@Mark:5:20 @And he went away and began to proclaim in Decapolis what great things Jesus had done for him; and everyone was amazed.

nasb@Mark:5:22 @One of the synagogue officials named Jairus came up, and on seeing Him, fell at His feet

nasb@Mark:5:23 @and implored Him earnestly, saying, "My little daughter is at the point of death; please come and lay Your hands on her, so that she will get well and live."

nasb@Mark:5:27 @after hearing about Jesus, she came up in the crowd behind Him and touched His cloak.

nasb@Mark:5:28 @For she thought, "If I just touch His garments, I will get well."

nasb@Mark:5:31 @And His disciples said to Him, "You see the crowd pressing in on You, and You say, 'Who touched Me?'"

nasb@Mark:5:32 @And He looked around to see the woman who had done this.

nasb@Mark:5:39 @And entering in, He said to them, "Why make a commotion and weep? The child has not died, but is asleep."

nasb@Mark:5:40 @They began laughing at Him. But putting them all out, He took along the child's father and mother and His own companions, and entered the room where the child was.

nasb@Mark:5:43 @And He gave them strict orders that no one should know about this, and He said that something should be given her to eat.

nasb@Mark:6:1 @Jesus went out from there and came into His hometown; and His disciples followed Him.

nasb@Mark:6:2 @When the Sabbath came, He began to teach in the synagogue; and the many listeners were astonished, saying, "Where did this man get these things, and what is this wisdom given to Him, and such miracles as these performed by His hands?

nasb@Mark:6:3" @Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? Are not His sisters here with us?" And they took offense at Him.

nasb@Mark:6:4 @Jesus said to them, " A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown and among his own relatives and in his own household."

nasb@Mark:6:5 @And He could do no miracle there except that He laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them.

nasb@Mark:6:11" @Any place that does not receive you or listen to you, as you go out from there, shake the dust off the soles of your feet for a testimony against them."

nasb@Mark:6:14 @And King Herod heard of it, for His name had become well known; and people were saying, " John the Baptist has risen from the dead, and that is why these miraculous powers are at work in Him."

nasb@Mark:6:15 @But others were saying, "He is Elijah." And others were saying, "He is a prophet, like one of the prophets of old."

nasb@Mark:6:16 @But when Herod heard of it, he kept saying, "John, whom I beheaded, has risen!"

nasb@Mark:6:17 @For Herod himself had sent and had John arrested and bound in prison on account of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, because he had married her.

nasb@Mark:6:18 @For John had been saying to Herod, " It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife."

nasb@Mark:6:20 @for Herod was afraid of John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and he kept him safe. And when he heard him, he was very perplexed; but he used to enjoy listening to him.

nasb@Mark:6:21 @A strategic day came when Herod on his birthday gave a banquet for his lords and military commanders and the leading men of Galilee;

nasb@Mark:6:22 @and when the daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his dinner guests; and the king said to the girl, "Ask me for whatever you want and I will give it to you."

nasb@Mark:6:24 @And she went out and said to her mother, "What shall I ask for?" And she said, "The head of John the Baptist."

nasb@Mark:6:25 @Immediately she came in a hurry to the king and asked, saying, "I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter."

nasb@Mark:6:26 @And although the king was very sorry, yet because of his oaths and because of his dinner guests, he was unwilling to refuse her.

nasb@Mark:6:27 @Immediately the king sent an executioner and commanded him to bring back his head. And he went and had him beheaded in the prison,

nasb@Mark:6:28 @and brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the girl; and the girl gave it to her mother.

nasb@Mark:6:29 @When his disciples heard about this, they came and took away his body and laid it in a tomb.

nasb@Mark:6:35 @When it was already quite late, His disciples came to Him and said, "This place is desolate and it is already quite late;

nasb@Mark:6:38 @And He said to them, "How many loaves do you have? Go look!" And when they found out, they said, "Five, and two fish."

nasb@Mark:6:41 @And He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up toward heaven, He blessed the food and broke the loaves and He kept giving them to the disciples to set before them; and He divided up the two fish among them all.

nasb@Mark:6:42 @They all ate and were satisfied,

nasb@Mark:6:43 @and they picked up twelve full baskets of the broken pieces, and also of the fish.

nasb@Mark:6:45 @Immediately Jesus made His disciples get into the boat and go ahead of Him to the other side to Bethsaida, while He Himself was sending the crowd away.

nasb@Mark:6:50 @for they all saw Him and were terrified. But immediately He spoke with them and said to them, " Take courage; it is I, do not be afraid."

nasb@Mark:6:51 @Then He got into the boat with them, and the wind stopped; and they were utterly astonished,

nasb@Mark:6:56 @Wherever He entered villages, or cities, or countryside, they were laying the sick in the market places, and imploring Him that they might just touch the fringe of His cloak; and as many as touched it were being cured.

nasb@Mark:7:1 @The Pharisees and some of the scribes gathered around Him when they had come from Jerusalem,

nasb@Mark:7:2 @and had seen that some of His disciples were eating their bread with impure hands, that is, unwashed.

nasb@Mark:7:3 @(For the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they carefully wash their hands, thus observing the traditions of the elders;

nasb@Mark:7:5 @The Pharisees and the scribes asked Him, "Why do Your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat their bread with impure hands?"

nasb@Mark:7:6 @And He said to them, "Rightly did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written- ' THIS PEOPLE HONORS ME WITH THEIR LIPS, BUT THEIR HEART IS FAR AWAY FROM ME.

nasb@Mark:7:10" @For Moses said, ' HONOR YOUR FATHER AND YOUR MOTHER'; and, ' HE WHO SPEAKS EVIL OF FATHER OR MOTHER, IS TO BE PUT TO DEATH';

nasb@Mark:7:11 @but you say, 'If a man says to his father or his mother, whatever I have that would help you is Corban (that is to say, given to God),'

nasb@Mark:7:12 @you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or his mother;

nasb@Mark:7:14 @After He called the crowd to Him again, He began saying to them, "Listen to Me, all of you, and understand-

nasb@Mark:7:15 @there is nothing outside the man which can defile him if it goes into him; but the things which proceed out of the man are what defile the man.

nasb@Mark:7:17 @When he had left the crowd and entered the house, His disciples questioned Him about the parable.

nasb@Mark:7:19 @because it does not go into his heart, but into his stomach, and is eliminated?" (Thus He declared all foods clean.)

nasb@Mark:7:20 @And He was saying, " That which proceeds out of the man, that is what defiles the man.

nasb@Mark:7:22 @deeds of coveting and wickedness, as well as deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride and foolishness.

nasb@Mark:7:25 @But after hearing of Him, a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit immediately came and fell at His feet.

nasb@Mark:7:27 @And He was saying to her, "Let the children be satisfied first, for it is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs."

nasb@Mark:7:29 @And He said to her, "Because of this answer go; the demon has gone out of your daughter."

nasb@Mark:7:31 @Again He went out from the region of Tyre, and came through Sidon to the Sea of Galilee, within the region of Decapolis.

nasb@Mark:7:32 @They brought to Him one who was deaf and spoke with difficulty, and they implored Him to lay His hand on him.

nasb@Mark:7:33 @Jesus took him aside from the crowd, by himself, and put His fingers into his ears, and after spitting, He touched his tongue with the saliva;

nasb@Mark:7:34 @and looking up to heaven with a deep sigh, He said to him, "Ephphatha!" that is, "Be opened!"

nasb@Mark:7:35 @And his ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was removed, and he began speaking plainly.

nasb@Mark:7:37 @They were utterly astonished, saying, "He has done all things well; He makes even the deaf to hear and the mute to speak."

nasb@Mark:7:8 @In those days, when there was again a large crowd and they had nothing to eat, Jesus called His disciples and said to them,

nasb@Mark:7:3" @If I send them away hungry to their homes, they will faint on the way; and some of them have come from a great distance."

nasb@Mark:7:4 @And His disciples answered Him, "Where will anyone be able to find enough bread here in this desolate place to satisfy these people?"

nasb@Mark:7:6 @And He directed the people to sit down on the ground; and taking the seven loaves, He gave thanks and broke them, and started giving them to His disciples to serve to them, and they served them to the people.

nasb@Mark:7:7 @They also had a few small fish; and after He had blessed them, He ordered these to be served as well.

nasb@Mark:7:8 @And they ate and were satisfied; and they picked up seven large baskets full of what was left over of the broken pieces.

nasb@Mark:7:10 @And immediately He entered the boat with His disciples and came to the district of Dalmanutha.

nasb@Mark:7:11 @The Pharisees came out and began to argue with Him, seeking from Him a sign from heaven, to test Him.

nasb@Mark:7:12 @Sighing deeply in His spirit, He said, "Why does this generation seek for a sign? Truly I say to you, no sign will be given to this generation."

nasb@Mark:7:15 @And He was giving orders to them, saying, " Watch out! Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod."

nasb@Mark:7:16 @They began to discuss with one another the fact that they had no bread.

nasb@Mark:7:17 @And Jesus, aware of this, said to them, "Why do you discuss the fact that you have no bread? Do you not yet see or understand? Do you have a hardened heart?

nasb@Mark:7:23 @Taking the blind man by the hand, He brought him out of the village; and after spitting on his eyes and laying His hands on him, He asked him, "Do you see anything?"

nasb@Mark:7:25 @Then again He laid His hands on his eyes; and he looked intently and was restored, and began to see everything clearly.

nasb@Mark:7:26 @And He sent him to his home, saying, "Do not even enter the village."

nasb@Mark:7:27 @Jesus went out, along with His disciples, to the villages of Caesarea Philippi; and on the way He questioned His disciples, saying to them, "Who do people say that I am?"

nasb@Mark:7:28 @They told Him, saying, "John the Baptist; and others say Elijah; but others, one of the prophets."

nasb@Mark:7:29 @And He continued by questioning them, "But who do you say that I am?" Peter answered and said to Him, "You are the Christ."

nasb@Mark:7:31 @And He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.

nasb@Mark:7:33 @But turning around and seeing His disciples, He rebuked Peter and said, "Get behind Me, Satan; for you are not setting your mind on God's interests, but man's."

nasb@Mark:7:34 @And He summoned the crowd with His disciples, and said to them, "If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me.

nasb@Mark:7:35" @For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel's will save it.

nasb@Mark:7:36" @For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul?

nasb@Mark:7:37" @For what will a man give in exchange for his soul?

nasb@Mark:7:38" @For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels."

nasb@Mark:8:3 @and His garments became radiant and exceedingly white, as no launderer on earth can whiten them.

nasb@Mark:8:5 @Peter said to Jesus, " Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; let us make three tabernacles, one for You, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

nasb@Mark:8:7 @Then a cloud formed, overshadowing them, and a voice came out of the cloud, " This is My beloved Son, listen to Him!"

nasb@Mark:8:10 @They seized upon that statement, discussing with one another what rising from the dead meant.

nasb@Mark:8:11 @They asked Him, saying, "Why is it that the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"

nasb@Mark:8:12 @And He said to them, "Elijah does first come and restore all things. And yet how is it written of the Son of Man that He will suffer many things and be treated with contempt?

nasb@Mark:8:13" @But I say to you that Elijah has indeed come, and they did to him whatever they wished, just as it is written of him."

nasb@Mark:8:14 @When they came back to the disciples, they saw a large crowd around them, and some scribes arguing with them.

nasb@Mark:8:16 @And He asked them, "What are you discussing with them?"

nasb@Mark:8:18 @and whenever it seizes him, it slams him to the ground and he foams at the mouth, and grinds his teeth and stiffens out. I told Your disciples to cast it out, and they could not do it."

nasb@Mark:8:21 @And He asked his father, "How long has this been happening to him?" And he said, "From childhood.

nasb@Mark:8:26 @After crying out and throwing him into terrible convulsions, it came out; and the boy became so much like a corpse that most of them said, "He is dead!"

nasb@Mark:8:27 @But Jesus took him by the hand and raised him; and he got up.

nasb@Mark:8:28 @When He came into the house, His disciples began questioning Him privately, "Why could we not drive it out?"

nasb@Mark:8:29 @And He said to them, "This kind cannot come out by anything but prayer."

nasb@Mark:8:31 @For He was teaching His disciples and telling them, " The Son of Man is to be delivered into the hands of men, and they will kill Him; and when He has been killed, He will rise three days later."

nasb@Mark:8:32 @But they did not understand this statement, and they were afraid to ask Him.

nasb@Mark:8:33 @They came to Capernaum; and when He was in the house, He began to question them, "What were you discussing on the way?"

nasb@Mark:8:34 @But they kept silent, for on the way they had discussed with one another which of them was the greatest.

nasb@Mark:8:36 @Taking a child, He set him before them, and taking him in His arms, He said to them,

nasb@Mark:8:37" @ Whoever receives one child like this in My name receives Me; and whoever receives Me does not receive Me, but Him who sent Me."

nasb@Mark:9:2 @Some Pharisees came up to Jesus, testing Him, and began to question Him whether it was lawful for a man to divorce a wife.

nasb@Mark:9:13 @And they were bringing children to Him so that He might touch them; but the disciples rebuked them.

nasb@Mark:9:14 @But when Jesus saw this, He was indignant and said to them, "Permit the children to come to Me; do not hinder them; for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.

nasb@Mark:9:16 @And He took them in His arms and began blessing them, laying His hands on them.

nasb@Mark:9:18 @And Jesus said to him, "Why do you call Me good? No one is good except God alone.

nasb@Mark:9:23 @And Jesus, looking around, said to His disciples, " How hard it will be for those who are wealthy to enter the kingdom of God!"

nasb@Mark:9:24 @The disciples were amazed at His words. But Jesus answered again and said to them, "Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God!

nasb@Mark:9:25" @ It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."

nasb@Mark:9:26 @They were even more astonished and said to Him, "Then who can be saved?"

nasb@Mark:9:27 @Looking at them, Jesus said, " With people it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God."

nasb@Mark:9:29 @Jesus said, "Truly I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or farms, for My sake and for the gospel's sake,

nasb@Mark:9:30 @but that he will receive a hundred times as much now in the present age, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and farms, along with persecutions; and in the age to come, eternal life.

nasb@Mark:9:34" @They will mock Him and spit on Him, and scourge Him and kill Him, and three days later He will rise again."

nasb@Mark:9:38 @But Jesus said to them, "You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, or to be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?"

nasb@Mark:9:39 @They said to Him, "We are able." And Jesus said to them, "The cup that I drink you shall drink; and you shall be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized.

nasb@Mark:9:40" @But to sit on My right or on My left, this is not Mine to give; but it is for those for whom it has been prepared."

nasb@Mark:9:41 @Hearing this, the ten began to feel indignant with James and John.

nasb@Mark:9:42 @Calling them to Himself, Jesus said to them, "You know that those who are recognized as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them; and their great men exercise authority over them.

nasb@Mark:9:43" @But it is not this way among you, but whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant;

nasb@Mark:9:44 @and whoever wishes to be first among you shall be slave of all.

nasb@Mark:9:45" @For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many."

nasb@Mark:9:46 @Then they came to Jericho. And as He was leaving Jericho with His disciples and a large crowd, a blind beggar named Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, was sitting by the road.

nasb@Mark:9:49 @And Jesus stopped and said, "Call him here." So they called the blind man, saying to him, " Take courage, stand up! He is calling for you."

nasb@Mark:9:50 @Throwing aside his cloak, he jumped up and came to Jesus.

nasb@Mark:9:52 @And Jesus said to him, "Go; your faith has made you well." Immediately he regained his sight and began following Him on the road.

nasb@Mark:10:1 @As they approached Jerusalem, at Bethphage and Bethany, near the Mount of Olives, He sent two of His disciples,

nasb@Mark:10:3" @If anyone says to you, 'Why are you doing this?' you say, 'The Lord has need of it'; and immediately he will send it back here."

nasb@Mark:10:6 @They spoke to them just as Jesus had told them, and they gave them permission.

nasb@Mark:10:9 @Those who went in front and those who followed were shouting- "Hosanna! BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD;

nasb@Mark:10:10 @Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David; Hosanna in the highest!"

nasb@Mark:10:13 @Seeing at a distance a fig tree in leaf, He went to see if perhaps He would find anything on it; and when He came to it, He found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs.

nasb@Mark:10:14 @He said to it, "May no one ever eat fruit from you again!" And His disciples were listening.

nasb@Mark:10:16 @and He would not permit anyone to carry merchandise through the temple.

nasb@Mark:10:18 @The chief priests and the scribes heard this, and began seeking how to destroy Him; for they were afraid of Him, for the whole crowd was astonished at His teaching.

nasb@Mark:10:23" @ Truly I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be taken up and cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is going to happen, it will be granted him.

nasb@Mark:10:25" @Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father who is in heaven will also forgive you your transgressions.

nasb@Mark:10:26 @[" But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in heaven forgive your transgressions."]

nasb@Mark:10:28 @and began saying to Him, "By what authority are You doing these things, or who gave You this authority to do these things?"

nasb@Mark:10:30" @Was the baptism of John from heaven, or from men? Answer Me."

nasb@Mark:10:7" @But those vine-growers said to one another, 'This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours!'

nasb@Mark:10:10" @Have you not even read this Scripture- ' THE STONE WHICH THE BUILDERS REJECTED, THIS BECAME THE CHIEF CORNER stone;

nasb@Mark:10:11 @THIS CAME ABOUT FROM THE LORD, AND IT IS MARVELOUS IN OUR EYES'?"

nasb@Mark:10:13 @Then they sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians to Him in order to trap Him in a statement.

nasb@Mark:10:14 @They came and said to Him, "Teacher, we know that You are truthful and defer to no one; for You are not partial to any, but teach the way of God in truth. Is it lawful to pay a poll-tax to Caesar, or not?

nasb@Mark:10:15" @Shall we pay or shall we not pay?" But He, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, "Why are you testing Me? Bring Me a denarius to look at."

nasb@Mark:10:16 @They brought one. And He said to them, "Whose likeness and inscription is this?" And they said to Him, "Caesar's."

nasb@Mark:10:18 @Some Sadducees (who say that there is no resurrection) came to Jesus, and began questioning Him, saying,

nasb@Mark:10:19" @Teacher, Moses wrote for us that IF A MAN'S BROTHER DIES and leaves behind a wife AND LEAVES NO CHILD, HIS BROTHER SHOULD MARRY THE WIFE AND RAISE UP CHILDREN TO HIS BROTHER.

nasb@Mark:10:21" @The second one married her, and died leaving behind no children; and the third likewise;

nasb@Mark:10:23" @In the resurrection, when they rise again, which one's wife will she be? For all seven had married her."

nasb@Mark:10:24 @Jesus said to them, "Is this not the reason you are mistaken, that you do not understand the Scriptures or the power of God?

nasb@Mark:10:25" @For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.

nasb@Mark:10:26" @But regarding the fact that the dead rise again, have you not read in the book of Moses, in the passage about the burning bush, how God spoke to him, saying, ' I AM THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, AND THE GOD OF ISAAC, and the God of Jacob'?

nasb@Mark:10:27" @ He is not the God of the dead, but of the living; you are greatly mistaken."

nasb@Mark:10:28 @One of the scribes came and heard them arguing, and recognizing that He had answered them well, asked Him, "What commandment is the foremost of all?"

nasb@Mark:10:29 @Jesus answered, "The foremost is, ' HEAR, O ISRAEL! THE LORD OUR GOD IS ONE LORD;

nasb@Mark:10:31" @The second is this, ' YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.' There is no other commandment greater than these."

nasb@Mark:10:32 @The scribe said to Him, "Right, Teacher; You have truly stated that HE IS ONE, AND THERE IS NO ONE ELSE BESIDES HIM;

nasb@Mark:10:33 @AND TO LOVE HIM WITH ALL THE HEART AND WITH ALL THE UNDERSTANDING AND WITH ALL THE STRENGTH, AND TO LOVE ONE'S NEIGHBOR AS HIMSELF, is much more than all burnt offerings and sacrifices."

nasb@Mark:10:35 @And Jesus began to say, as He taught in the temple, "How is it that the scribes say that the Christ is the son of David?

nasb@Mark:10:37" @David himself calls Him 'Lord'; so in what sense is He his son?" And the large crowd enjoyed listening to Him.

nasb@Mark:10:38 @In His teaching He was saying- "Beware of the scribes who like to walk around in long robes, and like respectful greetings in the market places,

nasb@Mark:10:43 @Calling His disciples to Him, He said to them, "Truly I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all the contributors to the treasury;

nasb@Mark:11:1 @As He was going out of the temple, one of His disciples said to Him, "Teacher, behold what wonderful stones and what wonderful buildings!"

nasb@Mark:11:5 @And Jesus began to say to them, "See to it that no one misleads you.

nasb@Mark:11:6" @Many will come in My name, saying, ' I am He!' and will mislead many.

nasb@Mark:11:7" @When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be frightened; those things must take place; but that is not yet the end.

nasb@Mark:11:8" @For nation will rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there will be earthquakes in various places; there will also be famines. These things are merely the beginning of birth pangs.

nasb@Mark:11:11" @ When they arrest you and hand you over, do not worry beforehand about what you are to say, but say whatever is given you in that hour; for it is not you who speak, but it is the Holy Spirit.

nasb@Mark:11:12" @Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and have them put to death.

nasb@Mark:11:15" @ The one who is on the housetop must not go down, or go in to get anything out of his house;

nasb@Mark:11:16 @and the one who is in the field must not turn back to get his coat.

nasb@Mark:11:21" @And then if anyone says to you, 'Behold, here is the Christ'; or, 'Behold, He is there'; do not believe him;

nasb@Mark:11:22 @for false Christs and false prophets will arise, and will show signs and wonders, in order to lead astray, if possible, the elect.

nasb@Mark:11:27" @And then He will send forth the angels, and will gather together His elect from the four winds, from the farthest end of the earth to the farthest end of heaven.

nasb@Mark:11:28" @Now learn the parable from the fig tree- when its branch has already become tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near.

nasb@Mark:11:29" @Even so, you too, when you see these things happening, recognize that He is near, right at the door.

nasb@Mark:11:30" @Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place.

nasb@Mark:11:34" @ It is like a man away on a journey, who upon leaving his house and putting his slaves in charge, assigning to each one his task, also commanded the doorkeeper to stay on the alert.

nasb@Mark:11:35" @Therefore, be on the alert--for you do not know when the master of the house is coming, whether in the evening, at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or in the morning--

nasb@Mark:12:2 @for they were saying, "Not during the festival, otherwise there might be a riot of the people."

nasb@Mark:12:3 @While He was in Bethany at the home of Simon the leper, and reclining at the table, there came a woman with an alabaster vial of very costly perfume of pure nard; and she broke the vial and poured it over His head.

nasb@Mark:12:4 @But some were indignantly remarking to one another, "Why has this perfume been wasted?

nasb@Mark:12:5" @For this perfume might have been sold for over three hundred denarii, and the money given to the poor." And they were scolding her.

nasb@Mark:12:7" @For you always have the poor with you, and whenever you wish you can do good to them; but you do not always have Me.

nasb@Mark:12:9" @Truly I say to you, wherever the gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be spoken of in memory of her."

nasb@Mark:12:10 @Then Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve, went off to the chief priests in order to betray Him to them.

nasb@Mark:12:11 @They were glad when they heard this, and promised to give him money. And he began seeking how to betray Him at an opportune time.

nasb@Mark:12:12 @On the first day of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover lamb was being sacrificed, His disciples said to Him, "Where do You want us to go and prepare for You to eat the Passover?"

nasb@Mark:12:13 @And He sent two of His disciples and said to them, "Go into the city, and a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water; follow him;

nasb@Mark:12:14 @and wherever he enters, say to the owner of the house, 'The Teacher says, "Where is My guest room in which I may eat the Passover with My disciples?"'

nasb@Mark:12:15" @And he himself will show you a large upper room furnished and ready; prepare for us there."

nasb@Mark:12:16 @The disciples went out and came to the city, and found it just as He had told them; and they prepared the Passover.

nasb@Mark:12:18 @As they were reclining at the table and eating, Jesus said, "Truly I say to you that one of you will betray Me--one who is eating with Me."

nasb@Mark:12:20 @And He said to them, "It is one of the twelve, one who dips with Me in the bowl.

nasb@Mark:12:21" @For the Son of Man is to go just as it is written of Him; but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born."

nasb@Mark:12:22 @While they were eating, He took some bread, and after a blessing He broke it, and gave it to them, and said, "Take it; this is My body."

nasb@Mark:12:24 @And He said to them, "This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many.

nasb@Mark:12:27 @And Jesus said to them, "You will all fall away, because it is written, ' I WILL STRIKE DOWN THE SHEPHERD, AND THE SHEEP SHALL BE SCATTERED.'

nasb@Mark:12:28" @But after I have been raised, I will go ahead of you to Galilee."

nasb@Mark:12:30 @And Jesus said to him, "Truly I say to you, that this very night, before a rooster crows twice, you yourself will deny Me three times."

nasb@Mark:12:31 @But Peter kept saying insistently, "Even if I have to die with You, I will not deny You!" And they all were saying the same thing also.

nasb@Mark:12:32 @They came to a place named Gethsemane; and He said to His disciples, "Sit here until I have prayed."

nasb@Mark:12:33 @And He took with Him Peter and James and John, and began to be very distressed and troubled.

nasb@Mark:12:34 @And He said to them, " My soul is deeply grieved to the point of death; remain here and keep watch."

nasb@Mark:12:36 @And He was saying, " Abba! Father! All things are possible for You; remove this cup from Me; yet not what I will, but what You will."

nasb@Mark:12:38" @ Keep watching and praying that you may not come into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."

nasb@Mark:12:41 @And He came the third time, and said to them, "Are you still sleeping and resting? It is enough; the hour has come; behold, the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners.

nasb@Mark:12:42" @Get up, let us be going; behold, the one who betrays Me is at hand!"

nasb@Mark:12:44 @Now he who was betraying Him had given them a signal, saying, "Whomever I kiss, He is the one; seize Him and lead Him away under guard."

nasb@Mark:12:45 @After coming, Judas immediately went to Him, saying, " Rabbi!" and kissed Him.

nasb@Mark:12:47 @But one of those who stood by drew his sword, and struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his ear.

nasb@Mark:12:49" @Every day I was with you in the temple teaching, and you did not seize Me; but this has taken place to fulfill the Scriptures."

nasb@Mark:12:51 @A young man was following Him, wearing nothing but a linen sheet over his naked body; and they seized him.

nasb@Mark:12:54 @Peter had followed Him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest; and he was sitting with the officers and warming himself at the fire.

nasb@Mark:12:56 @For many were giving false testimony against Him, but their testimony was not consistent.

nasb@Mark:12:58" @We heard Him say, ' I will destroy this temple made with hands, and in three days I will build another made without hands.'"

nasb@Mark:12:59 @Not even in this respect was their testimony consistent.

nasb@Mark:12:60 @The high priest stood up and came forward and questioned Jesus, saying, "Do You not answer? What is it that these men are testifying against You?"

nasb@Mark:12:61 @But He kept silent and did not answer. Again the high priest was questioning Him, and saying to Him, "Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?"

nasb@Mark:12:63 @Tearing his clothes, the high priest said, "What further need do we have of witnesses?

nasb@Mark:12:65 @Some began to spit at Him, and to blindfold Him, and to beat Him with their fists, and to say to Him, " Prophesy!" And the officers received Him with slaps in the face.

nasb@Mark:12:69 @The servant-girl saw him, and began once more to say to the bystanders, "This is one of them!"

nasb@Mark:12:71 @But he began to curse and swear, "I do not know this man you are talking about!"

nasb@Mark:13:2 @Pilate questioned Him, "Are You the King of the Jews?" And He answered him, "It is as you say."

nasb@Mark:13:6 @Now at the feast he used to release for them any one prisoner whom they requested.

nasb@Mark:13:7 @The man named Barabbas had been imprisoned with the insurrectionists who had committed murder in the insurrection.

nasb@Mark:13:15 @Wishing to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas for them, and after having Jesus scourged, he handed Him over to be crucified.

nasb@Mark:13:16 @The soldiers took Him away into the palace (that is, the Praetorium), and they called together the whole Roman cohort.

nasb@Mark:13:17 @They dressed Him up in purple, and after twisting a crown of thorns, they put it on Him;

nasb@Mark:13:19 @They kept beating His head with a reed, and spitting on Him, and kneeling and bowing before Him.

nasb@Mark:13:20 @After they had mocked Him, they took the purple robe off Him and put His own garments on Him. And they led Him out to crucify Him.

nasb@Mark:13:21 @They pressed into service a passer-by coming from the country, Simon of Cyrene (the father of Alexander and Rufus), to bear His cross.

nasb@Mark:13:22 @Then they brought Him to the place Golgotha, which is translated, Place of a Skull.

nasb@Mark:13:24 @And they crucified Him, and divided up His garments among themselves, casting lots for them to decide what each man should take.

nasb@Mark:13:27 @They crucified two robbers with Him, one on His right and one on His left.

nasb@Mark:13:32" @Let this Christ, the King of Israel, now come down from the cross, so that we may see and believe!" Those who were crucified with Him were also insulting Him.

nasb@Mark:13:34 @At the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, " ELOI, ELOI, LAMA SABACHTHANI?" which is translated, "MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?"

nasb@Mark:13:35 @When some of the bystanders heard it, they began saying, "Behold, He is calling for Elijah."

nasb@Mark:13:37 @And Jesus uttered a loud cry, and breathed His last.

nasb@Mark:13:39 @When the centurion, who was standing right in front of Him, saw the way He breathed His last, he said, "Truly this man was the Son of God!"

nasb@Mark:13:44 @Pilate wondered if He was dead by this time, and summoning the centurion, he questioned him as to whether He was already dead.

nasb@Mark:13:45 @And ascertaining this from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.

nasb@Mark:14:2 @Very early on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb when the sun had risen.

nasb@Mark:14:6 @And he said to them, " Do not be amazed; you are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who has been crucified. He has risen; He is not here; behold, here is the place where they laid Him.

nasb@Mark:14:7" @But go, tell His disciples and Peter, ' He is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see Him, just as He told you.'"

nasb@Mark:14:8 @They went out and fled from the tomb, for trembling and astonishment had gripped them; and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.

nasb@Luke:2:5 @in order to register along with Mary, who was engaged to him, and was with child.

nasb@Luke:2:11 @for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.

nasb@Luke:2:12" @ This will be a sign for you- you will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger."

nasb@Luke:2:13 @And suddenly there appeared with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying,

nasb@Luke:2:14" @ Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace among men with whom He is pleased."

nasb@Luke:2:15 @When the angels had gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds began saying to one another, "Let us go straight to Bethlehem then, and see this thing that has happened which the Lord has made known to us."

nasb@Luke:2:17 @When they had seen this, they made known the statement which had been told them about this Child.

nasb@Luke:2:20 @The shepherds went back, glorifying and praising God for all that they had heard and seen, just as had been told them.

nasb@Luke:2:21 @And when eight days had passed, before His circumcision, His name was then called Jesus, the name given by the angel before He was conceived in the womb.

nasb@Luke:2:23 @(as it is written in the Law of the Lord, " EVERY firstborn MALE THAT OPENS THE WOMB SHALL BE CALLED HOLY TO THE LORD"),

nasb@Luke:2:25 @And there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon; and this man was righteous and devout, looking for the consolation of Israel; and the Holy Spirit was upon him.

nasb@Luke:2:26 @And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord's Christ.

nasb@Luke:2:28 @then he took Him into his arms, and blessed God, and said,

nasb@Luke:2:32 @A LIGHT OF REVELATION TO THE GENTILES, And the glory of Your people Israel."

nasb@Luke:2:33 @And His father and mother were amazed at the things which were being said about Him.

nasb@Luke:2:34 @And Simeon blessed them and said to Mary His mother, "Behold, this Child is appointed for the fall and rise of many in Israel, and for a sign to be opposed--

nasb@Luke:2:40 @The Child continued to grow and become strong, increasing in wisdom; and the grace of God was upon Him.

nasb@Luke:2:41 @Now His parents went to Jerusalem every year at the Feast of the Passover.

nasb@Luke:2:43 @and as they were returning, after spending the full number of days, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. But His parents were unaware of it,

nasb@Luke:2:46 @Then, after three days they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions.

nasb@Luke:2:47 @And all who heard Him were amazed at His understanding and His answers.

nasb@Luke:2:48 @When they saw Him, they were astonished; and His mother said to Him, "Son, why have You treated us this way? Behold, Your father and I have been anxiously looking for You."

nasb@Luke:2:49 @And He said to them, "Why is it that you were looking for Me? Did you not know that I had to be in My Father's house?"

nasb@Luke:2:51 @And He went down with them and came to Nazareth, and He continued in subjection to them; and His mother treasured all these things in her heart.

nasb@Luke:2:52 @And Jesus kept increasing in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.

nasb@Luke:3:1 @Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, and Herod was tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip was tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias was tetrarch of Abilene,

nasb@Luke:3:3 @And he came into all the district around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins;

nasb@Luke:3:4 @as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, " THE VOICE OF ONE CRYING IN THE WILDERNESS, 'MAKE READY THE WAY OF THE LORD, MAKE HIS PATHS STRAIGHT.

nasb@Luke:3:8" @Therefore bear fruits in keeping with repentance, and do not begin to say to yourselves, ' We have Abraham for our father,' for I say to you that from these stones God is able to raise up children to Abraham.

nasb@Luke:3:9" @Indeed the axe is already laid at the root of the trees; so every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire."

nasb@Luke:3:11 @And he would answer and say to them, "The man who has two tunics is to share with him who has none; and he who has food is to do likewise."

nasb@Luke:3:15 @Now while the people were in a state of expectation and all were wondering in their hearts about John, as to whether he was the Christ,

nasb@Luke:3:16 @John answered and said to them all, "As for me, I baptize you with water; but One is coming who is mightier than I, and I am not fit to untie the thong of His sandals; He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.

nasb@Luke:3:17" @His winnowing fork is in His hand to thoroughly clear His threshing floor, and to gather the wheat into His barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire."

nasb@Luke:3:19 @But when Herod the tetrarch was reprimanded by him because of Herodias, his brother's wife, and because of all the wicked things which Herod had done,

nasb@Luke:3:20 @Herod also added this to them all- he locked John up in prison.

nasb@Luke:3:23 @When He began His ministry, Jesus Himself was about thirty years of age, being, as was supposed, the son of Joseph, the son of Eli,

nasb@Luke:3:34 @the son of Jacob, the son of Isaac, the son of Abraham, the son of Terah, the son of Nahor,

nasb@Luke:4:3 @And the devil said to Him, "If You are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread."

nasb@Luke:4:4 @And Jesus answered him, "It is written, ' MAN SHALL NOT LIVE ON BREAD ALONE.'"

nasb@Luke:4:6 @And the devil said to Him, "I will give You all this domain and its glory; for it has been handed over to me, and I give it to whomever I wish.

nasb@Luke:4:8 @Jesus answered him, "It is written, ' YOU SHALL WORSHIP THE LORD YOUR GOD AND SERVE HIM ONLY.'"

nasb@Luke:4:10 @for it is written, ' HE WILL COMMAND HIS ANGELS CONCERNING YOU TO GUARD YOU,'

nasb@Luke:4:12 @And Jesus answered and said to him, "It is said, ' YOU SHALL NOT PUT THE LORD YOUR GOD TO THE TEST.'"

nasb@Luke:4:13 @When the devil had finished every temptation, he left Him until an opportune time.

nasb@Luke:4:14 @And Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and news about Him spread through all the surrounding district.

nasb@Luke:4:15 @And He began teaching in their synagogues and was praised by all.

nasb@Luke:4:16 @And He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up; and as was His custom, He entered the synagogue on the Sabbath, and stood up to read.

nasb@Luke:4:17 @And the book of the prophet Isaiah was handed to Him. And He opened the book and found the place where it was written,

nasb@Luke:4:18" @ THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS UPON ME, BECAUSE HE ANOINTED ME TO PREACH THE GOSPEL TO THE POOR. HE HAS SENT ME TO PROCLAIM RELEASE TO THE CAPTIVES, AND RECOVERY OF SIGHT TO THE BLIND, TO SET FREE THOSE WHO ARE OPPRESSED,

nasb@Luke:4:21 @And He began to say to them, "Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing."

nasb@Luke:4:22 @And all were speaking well of Him, and wondering at the gracious words which were falling from His lips; and they were saying, " Is this not Joseph's son?"

nasb@Luke:4:23 @And He said to them, "No doubt you will quote this proverb to Me, 'Physician, heal yourself! Whatever we heard was done at Capernaum, do here in your hometown as well.'"

nasb@Luke:4:24 @And He said, "Truly I say to you, no prophet is welcome in his hometown.

nasb@Luke:4:25" @But I say to you in truth, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the sky was shut up for three years and six months, when a great famine came over all the land;

nasb@Luke:4:27" @And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, but only Naaman the Syrian."

nasb@Luke:4:30 @But passing through their midst, He went His way.

nasb@Luke:4:32 @and they were amazed at His teaching, for His message was with authority.

nasb@Luke:4:36 @And amazement came upon them all, and they began talking with one another saying, "What is this message? For with authority and power He commands the unclean spirits and they come out."

nasb@Luke:4:37 @And the report about Him was spreading into every locality in the surrounding district.

nasb@Luke:4:40 @While the sun was setting, all those who had any who were sick with various diseases brought them to Him; and laying His hands on each one of them, He was healing them.

nasb@Luke:4:41 @Demons also were coming out of many, shouting, "You are the Son of God!" But rebuking them, He would not allow them to speak, because they knew Him to be the Christ.

nasb@Luke:4:43 @But He said to them, "I must preach the kingdom of God to the other cities also, for I was sent for this purpose."

nasb@Luke:5:1 @Now it happened that while the crowd was pressing around Him and listening to the word of God, He was standing by the lake of Gennesaret;

nasb@Luke:5:2 @and He saw two boats lying at the edge of the lake; but the fishermen had gotten out of them and were washing their nets.

nasb@Luke:5:4 @When He had finished speaking, He said to Simon, "Put out into the deep water and let down your nets for a catch."

nasb@Luke:5:6 @When they had done this, they enclosed a great quantity of fish, and their nets began to break;

nasb@Luke:5:9 @For amazement had seized him and all his companions because of the catch of fish which they had taken;

nasb@Luke:5:12 @While He was in one of the cities, behold, there was a man covered with leprosy; and when he saw Jesus, he fell on his face and implored Him, saying, "Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean."

nasb@Luke:5:13 @And He stretched out His hand and touched him, saying, "I am willing; be cleansed." And immediately the leprosy left him.

nasb@Luke:5:17 @One day He was teaching; and there were some Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting there, who had come from every village of Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem; and the power of the Lord was present for Him to perform healing.

nasb@Luke:5:19 @But not finding any way to bring him in because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and let him down through the tiles with his stretcher, into the middle of the crowd, in front of Jesus.

nasb@Luke:5:21 @The scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, " Who is this man who speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?"

nasb@Luke:5:23" @Which is easier, to say, 'Your sins have been forgiven you,' or to say, 'Get up and walk'?

nasb@Luke:5:26 @They were all struck with astonishment and began glorifying God; and they were filled with fear, saying, "We have seen remarkable things today."

nasb@Luke:5:29 @And Levi gave a big reception for Him in his house; and there was a great crowd of tax collectors and other people who were reclining at the table with them.

nasb@Luke:5:30 @The Pharisees and their scribes began grumbling at His disciples, saying, "Why do you eat and drink with the tax collectors and sinners?"

nasb@Luke:5:31 @And Jesus answered and said to them, " It is not those who are well who need a physician, but those who are sick.

nasb@Luke:5:33 @And they said to Him, " The disciples of John often fast and offer prayers, the disciples of the Pharisees also do the same, but Yours eat and drink."

nasb@Luke:5:34 @And Jesus said to them, "You cannot make the attendants of the bridegroom fast while the bridegroom is with them, can you?

nasb@Luke:5:35" @ But the days will come; and when the bridegroom is taken away from them, then they will fast in those days."

nasb@Luke:5:36 @And He was also telling them a parable- "No one tears a piece of cloth from a new garment and puts it on an old garment; otherwise he will both tear the new, and the piece from the new will not match the old.

nasb@Luke:5:37" @And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; otherwise the new wine will burst the skins and it will be spilled out, and the skins will be ruined.

nasb@Luke:5:39" @And no one, after drinking old wine wishes for new; for he says, 'The old is good enough.'"

nasb@Luke:6:1 @Now it happened that He was passing through some grainfields on a Sabbath; and His disciples were picking the heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands, and eating the grain.

nasb@Luke:6:2 @But some of the Pharisees said, "Why do you do what is not lawful on the Sabbath?"

nasb@Luke:6:4 @how he entered the house of God, and took and ate the consecrated bread which is not lawful for any to eat except the priests alone, and gave it to his companions?"

nasb@Luke:6:5 @And He was saying to them, "The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath."

nasb@Luke:6:7 @The scribes and the Pharisees were watching Him closely to see if He healed on the Sabbath, so that they might find reason to accuse Him.

nasb@Luke:6:9 @And Jesus said to them, "I ask you, is it lawful to do good or to do harm on the Sabbath, to save a life or to destroy it?"

nasb@Luke:6:10 @After looking around at them all, He said to him, "Stretch out your hand!" And he did so; and his hand was restored.

nasb@Luke:6:11 @But they themselves were filled with rage, and discussed together what they might do to Jesus.

nasb@Luke:6:12 @It was at this time that He went off to the mountain to pray, and He spent the whole night in prayer to God.

nasb@Luke:6:13 @And when day came, He called His disciples to Him and chose twelve of them, whom He also named as apostles-

nasb@Luke:6:14 @Simon, whom He also named Peter, and Andrew his brother; and James and John; and Philip and Bartholomew;

nasb@Luke:6:16 @Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.

nasb@Luke:6:17 @Jesus came down with them and stood on a level place; and there was a large crowd of His disciples, and a great throng of people from all Judea and Jerusalem and the coastal region of Tyre and Sidon,

nasb@Luke:6:18 @who had come to hear Him and to be healed of their diseases; and those who were troubled with unclean spirits were being cured.

nasb@Luke:6:20 @And turning His gaze toward His disciples, He began to say, " Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.

nasb@Luke:6:21" @Blessed are you who hunger now, for you shall be satisfied. Blessed are you who weep now, for you shall laugh.

nasb@Luke:6:23" @Be glad in that day and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven. For in the same way their fathers used to treat the prophets.

nasb@Luke:6:28 @bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.

nasb@Luke:6:30" @Give to everyone who asks of you, and whoever takes away what is yours, do not demand it back.

nasb@Luke:6:32" @ If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.

nasb@Luke:6:33" @If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.

nasb@Luke:6:34" @ If you lend to those from whom you expect to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners in order to receive back the same amount.

nasb@Luke:6:35" @But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for He Himself is kind to ungrateful and evil men.

nasb@Luke:6:36" @Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.

nasb@Luke:6:40" @ A pupil is not above his teacher; but everyone, after he has been fully trained, will be like his teacher.

nasb@Luke:6:41" @Why do you look at the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?

nasb@Luke:6:42" @Or how can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me take out the speck that is in your eye,' when you yourself do not see the log that is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the speck that is in your brother's eye.

nasb@Luke:6:43" @ For there is no good tree which produces bad fruit, nor, on the other hand, a bad tree which produces good fruit.

nasb@Luke:6:44" @ For each tree is known by its own fruit. For men do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they pick grapes from a briar bush.

nasb@Luke:6:45" @ The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth what is good; and the evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth what is evil; for his mouth speaks from that which fills his heart.

nasb@Luke:6:47" @ Everyone who comes to Me and hears My words and acts on them, I will show you whom he is like-

nasb@Luke:6:48 @he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid a foundation on the rock; and when a flood occurred, the torrent burst against that house and could not shake it, because it had been well built.

nasb@Luke:6:49" @But the one who has heard and has not acted accordingly, is like a man who built a house on the ground without any foundation; and the torrent burst against it and immediately it collapsed, and the ruin of that house was great."

nasb@Luke:7:1 @When He had completed all His discourse in the hearing of the people, He went to Capernaum.

nasb@Luke:7:3 @When he heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders asking Him to come and save the life of his slave.

nasb@Luke:7:4 @When they came to Jesus, they earnestly implored Him, saying, "He is worthy for You to grant this to him;

nasb@Luke:7:6 @Now Jesus started on His way with them; and when He was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends, saying to Him, "Lord, do not trouble Yourself further, for I am not worthy for You to come under my roof;

nasb@Luke:7:7 @for this reason I did not even consider myself worthy to come to You, but just say the word, and my servant will be healed.

nasb@Luke:7:8" @For I also am a man placed under authority, with soldiers under me; and I say to this one, 'Go!' and he goes, and to another, 'Come!' and he comes, and to my slave, 'Do this!' and he does it."

nasb@Luke:7:9 @Now when Jesus heard this, He marveled at him, and turned and said to the crowd that was following Him, "I say to you, not even in Israel have I found such great faith."

nasb@Luke:7:11 @Soon afterwards He went to a city called Nain; and His disciples were going along with Him, accompanied by a large crowd.

nasb@Luke:7:12 @Now as He approached the gate of the city, a dead man was being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow; and a sizeable crowd from the city was with her.

nasb@Luke:7:14 @And He came up and touched the coffin; and the bearers came to a halt. And He said, "Young man, I say to you, arise!"

nasb@Luke:7:15 @The dead man sat up and began to speak. And Jesus gave him back to his mother.

nasb@Luke:7:16 @Fear gripped them all, and they began glorifying God, saying, "A great prophet has arisen among us!" and, "God has visited His people!"

nasb@Luke:7:17 @This report concerning Him went out all over Judea and in all the surrounding district.

nasb@Luke:7:18 @The disciples of John reported to him about all these things.

nasb@Luke:7:19 @Summoning two of his disciples, John sent them to the Lord, saying, "Are You the Expected One, or do we look for someone else?"

nasb@Luke:7:20 @When the men came to Him, they said, "John the Baptist has sent us to You, to ask, 'Are You the Expected One, or do we look for someone else?'"

nasb@Luke:7:21 @At that very time He cured many people of diseases and afflictions and evil spirits; and He gave sight to many who were blind.

nasb@Luke:7:22 @And He answered and said to them, "Go and report to John what you have seen and heard- the BLIND RECEIVE SIGHT, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, the POOR HAVE THE GOSPEL PREACHED TO THEM.

nasb@Luke:7:23" @Blessed is he who does not take offense at Me."

nasb@Luke:7:26" @But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and one who is more than a prophet.

nasb@Luke:7:27" @This is the one about whom it is written, ' BEHOLD, I SEND MY MESSENGER AHEAD OF YOU, WHO WILL PREPARE YOUR WAY BEFORE YOU.'

nasb@Luke:7:28" @I say to you, among those born of women there is no one greater than John; yet he who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he."

nasb@Luke:7:29 @When all the people and the tax collectors heard this, they acknowledged God's justice, having been baptized with the baptism of John.

nasb@Luke:7:30 @But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected God's purpose for themselves, not having been baptized by John.

nasb@Luke:7:31" @To what then shall I compare the men of this generation, and what are they like?

nasb@Luke:7:33" @For John the Baptist has come eating no bread and drinking no wine, and you say, 'He has a demon!'

nasb@Luke:7:35" @Yet wisdom is vindicated by all her children."

nasb@Luke:7:36 @Now one of the Pharisees was requesting Him to dine with him, and He entered the Pharisee's house and reclined at the table.

nasb@Luke:7:37 @And there was a woman in the city who was a sinner; and when she learned that He was reclining at the table in the Pharisee's house, she brought an alabaster vial of perfume,

nasb@Luke:7:38 @and standing behind Him at His feet, weeping, she began to wet His feet with her tears, and kept wiping them with the hair of her head, and kissing His feet and anointing them with the perfume.

nasb@Luke:7:39 @Now when the Pharisee who had invited Him saw this, he said to himself, "If this man were a prophet He would know who and what sort of person this woman is who is touching Him, that she is a sinner."

nasb@Luke:7:44 @Turning toward the woman, He said to Simon, "Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you gave Me no water for My feet, but she has wet My feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair.

nasb@Luke:7:45" @You gave Me no kiss; but she, since the time I came in, has not ceased to kiss My feet.

nasb@Luke:7:47" @For this reason I say to you, her sins, which are many, have been forgiven, for she loved much; but he who is forgiven little, loves little."

nasb@Luke:7:49 @Those who were reclining at the table with Him began to say to themselves, " Who is this man who even forgives sins?"

nasb@Luke:8:5" @The sower went out to sow his seed; and as he sowed, some fell beside the road, and it was trampled under foot and the birds of the air ate it up.

nasb@Luke:8:6" @Other seed fell on rocky soil, and as soon as it grew up, it withered away, because it had no moisture.

nasb@Luke:8:9 @His disciples began questioning Him as to what this parable meant.

nasb@Luke:8:10 @And He said, " To you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest it is in parables, so that SEEING THEY MAY NOT SEE, AND HEARING THEY MAY NOT UNDERSTAND.

nasb@Luke:8:11" @Now the parable is this- the seed is the word of God.

nasb@Luke:8:14" @The seed which fell among the thorns, these are the ones who have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with worries and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to maturity.

nasb@Luke:8:17" @ For nothing is hidden that will not become evident, nor anything secret that will not be known and come to light.

nasb@Luke:8:18" @So take care how you listen; for whoever has, to him more shall be given; and whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has shall be taken away from him."

nasb@Luke:8:19 @And His mother and brothers came to Him, and they were unable to get to Him because of the crowd.

nasb@Luke:8:20 @And it was reported to Him, "Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, wishing to see You."

nasb@Luke:8:22 @Now on one of those days Jesus and His disciples got into a boat, and He said to them, "Let us go over to the other side of the lake." So they launched out.

nasb@Luke:8:24 @They came to Jesus and woke Him up, saying, " Master, Master, we are perishing!" And He got up and rebuked the wind and the surging waves, and they stopped, and it became calm.

nasb@Luke:8:25 @And He said to them, "Where is your faith?" They were fearful and amazed, saying to one another, "Who then is this, that He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey Him?"

nasb@Luke:8:26 @Then they sailed to the country of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galilee.

nasb@Luke:8:29 @For He had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For it had seized him many times; and he was bound with chains and shackles and kept under guard, and yet he would break his bonds and be driven by the demon into the desert.

nasb@Luke:8:30 @And Jesus asked him, "What is your name?" And he said, " Legion"; for many demons had entered him.

nasb@Luke:8:32 @Now there was a herd of many swine feeding there on the mountain; and the demons implored Him to permit them to enter the swine. And He gave them permission.

nasb@Luke:8:35 @The people went out to see what had happened; and they came to Jesus, and found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting down at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind; and they became frightened.

nasb@Luke:8:37 @And all the people of the country of the Gerasenes and the surrounding district asked Him to leave them, for they were gripped with great fear; and He got into a boat and returned.

nasb@Luke:8:41 @And there came a man named Jairus, and he was an official of the synagogue; and he fell at Jesus' feet, and began to implore Him to come to his house;

nasb@Luke:8:44 @came up behind Him and touched the fringe of His cloak, and immediately her hemorrhage stopped.

nasb@Luke:8:45 @And Jesus said, "Who is the one who touched Me?" And while they were all denying it, Peter said, " Master, the people are crowding and pressing in on You."

nasb@Luke:8:50 @But when Jesus heard this, He answered him, " Do not be afraid any longer; only believe, and she will be made well."

nasb@Luke:8:52 @Now they were all weeping and lamenting for her; but He said, "Stop weeping, for she has not died, but is asleep."

nasb@Luke:8:54 @He, however, took her by the hand and called, saying, "Child, arise!"

nasb@Luke:9:1 @And He called the twelve together, and gave them power and authority over all the demons and to heal diseases.

nasb@Luke:9:7 @Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was happening; and he was greatly perplexed, because it was said by some that John had risen from the dead,

nasb@Luke:9:8 @and by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the prophets of old had risen again.

nasb@Luke:9:9 @Herod said, "I myself had John beheaded; but who is this man about whom I hear such things?" And he kept trying to see Him.

nasb@Luke:9:11 @But the crowds were aware of this and followed Him; and welcoming them, He began speaking to them about the kingdom of God and curing those who had need of healing.

nasb@Luke:9:13 @But He said to them, "You give them something to eat!" And they said, "We have no more than five loaves and two fish, unless perhaps we go and buy food for all these people."

nasb@Luke:9:14 @(For there were about five thousand men.) And He said to His disciples, "Have them sit down to eat in groups of about fifty each."

nasb@Luke:9:16 @Then He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed them, and broke them, and kept giving them to the disciples to set before the people.

nasb@Luke:9:17 @And they all ate and were satisfied; and the broken pieces which they had left over were picked up, twelve baskets full.

nasb@Luke:9:18 @And it happened that while He was praying alone, the disciples were with Him, and He questioned them, saying, "Who do the people say that I am?"

nasb@Luke:9:19 @They answered and said, "John the Baptist, and others say Elijah; but others, that one of the prophets of old has risen again."

nasb@Luke:9:20 @And He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" And Peter answered and said, " The Christ of God."

nasb@Luke:9:21 @But He warned them and instructed them not to tell this to anyone,

nasb@Luke:9:22 @saying, " The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed and be raised up on the third day."

nasb@Luke:9:23 @And He was saying to them all, " If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross daily and follow Me.

nasb@Luke:9:24" @For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake, he is the one who will save it.

nasb@Luke:9:25" @For what is a man profited if he gains the whole world, and loses or forfeits himself?

nasb@Luke:9:26" @ For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when He comes in His glory, and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.

nasb@Luke:9:29 @And while He was praying, the appearance of His face became different, and His clothing became white and gleaming.

nasb@Luke:9:31 @who, appearing in glory, were speaking of His departure which He was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.

nasb@Luke:9:32 @Now Peter and his companions had been overcome with sleep; but when they were fully awake, they saw His glory and the two men standing with Him.

nasb@Luke:9:33 @And as these were leaving Him, Peter said to Jesus, " Master, it is good for us to be here; let us make three tabernacles- one for You, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah"-- not realizing what he was saying.

nasb@Luke:9:34 @While he was saying this, a cloud formed and began to overshadow them; and they were afraid as they entered the cloud.

nasb@Luke:9:35 @Then a voice came out of the cloud, saying, " This is My Son, My Chosen One; listen to Him!"

nasb@Luke:9:38 @And a man from the crowd shouted, saying, "Teacher, I beg You to look at my son, for he is my only boy,

nasb@Luke:9:40" @I begged Your disciples to cast it out, and they could not."

nasb@Luke:9:42 @While he was still approaching, the demon slammed him to the ground and threw him into a convulsion. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the boy and gave him back to his father.

nasb@Luke:9:43 @And they were all amazed at the greatness of God. But while everyone was marveling at all that He was doing, He said to His disciples,

nasb@Luke:9:44" @Let these words sink into your ears; for the Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men."

nasb@Luke:9:45 @But they did not understand this statement, and it was concealed from them so that they would not perceive it; and they were afraid to ask Him about this statement.

nasb@Luke:9:47 @But Jesus, knowing what they were thinking in their heart, took a child and stood him by His side,

nasb@Luke:9:48 @and said to them, " Whoever receives this child in My name receives Me, and whoever receives Me receives Him who sent Me; for the one who is least among all of you, this is the one who is great."

nasb@Luke:9:50 @But Jesus said to him, "Do not hinder him; for he who is not against you is for you."

nasb@Luke:9:51 @When the days were approaching for His ascension, He was determined to go to Jerusalem;

nasb@Luke:9:54 @When His disciples James and John saw this, they said, "Lord, do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them?"

nasb@Luke:9:58 @And Jesus said to him, "The foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head."

nasb@Luke:9:62 @But Jesus said to him, " No one, after putting his hand to the plow and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God."

nasb@Luke:10:1 @Now after this the Lord appointed seventy others, and sent them in pairs ahead of Him to every city and place where He Himself was going to come.

nasb@Luke:10:2 @And He was saying to them, " The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.

nasb@Luke:10:5" @Whatever house you enter, first say, 'Peace be to this house.'

nasb@Luke:10:6" @If a man of peace is there, your peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you.

nasb@Luke:10:7" @Stay in that house, eating and drinking what they give you; for the laborer is worthy of his wages. Do not keep moving from house to house.

nasb@Luke:10:8" @Whatever city you enter and they receive you, eat what is set before you;

nasb@Luke:10:11 @' Even the dust of your city which clings to our feet we wipe off in protest against you; yet be sure of this, that the kingdom of God has come near.'

nasb@Luke:10:16" @ The one who listens to you listens to Me, and the one who rejects you rejects Me; and he who rejects Me rejects the One who sent Me."

nasb@Luke:10:20" @Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are recorded in heaven."

nasb@Luke:10:21 @At that very time He rejoiced greatly in the Holy Spirit, and said, "I praise You, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent and have revealed them to infants. Yes, Father, for this way was well-pleasing in Your sight.

nasb@Luke:10:22" @ All things have been handed over to Me by My Father, and no one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son wills to reveal Him."

nasb@Luke:10:23 @Turning to the disciples, He said privately, "Blessed are the eyes which see the things you see,

nasb@Luke:10:24 @for I say to you, that many prophets and kings wished to see the things which you see, and did not see them, and to hear the things which you hear, and did not hear them."

nasb@Luke:10:26 @And He said to him, "What is written in the Law? How does it read to you?"

nasb@Luke:10:28 @And He said to him, "You have answered correctly; DO THIS AND YOU WILL LIVE."

nasb@Luke:10:29 @But wishing to justify himself, he said to Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?"

nasb@Luke:10:32" @Likewise a Levite also, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.

nasb@Luke:10:34 @and came to him and bandaged up his wounds, pouring oil and wine on them; and he put him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn and took care of him.

nasb@Luke:10:39 @She had a sister called Mary, who was seated at the Lord's feet, listening to His word.

nasb@Luke:10:40 @But Martha was distracted with all her preparations; and she came up to Him and said, "Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to do all the serving alone? Then tell her to help me."

nasb@Luke:10:42 @but only one thing is necessary, for Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her."

nasb@Luke:11:1 @It happened that while Jesus was praying in a certain place, after He had finished, one of His disciples said to Him, "Lord, teach us to pray just as John also taught his disciples."

nasb@Luke:11:4 @'And forgive us our sins, For we ourselves also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation.'"

nasb@Luke:11:8" @I tell you, even though he will not get up and give him anything because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence he will get up and give him as much as he needs.

nasb@Luke:11:11" @Now suppose one of you fathers is asked by his son for a fish; he will not give him a snake instead of a fish, will he?

nasb@Luke:11:12" @Or if he is asked for an egg, he will not give him a scorpion, will he?

nasb@Luke:11:17 @But He knew their thoughts and said to them, "Any kingdom divided against itself is laid waste; and a house divided against itself falls.

nasb@Luke:11:18" @If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons by Beelzebul.

nasb@Luke:11:21" @When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are undisturbed.

nasb@Luke:11:22" @But when someone stronger than he attacks him and overpowers him, he takes away from him all his armor on which he had relied and distributes his plunder.

nasb@Luke:11:23" @ He who is not with Me is against Me; and he who does not gather with Me, scatters.

nasb@Luke:11:27 @While Jesus was saying these things, one of the women in the crowd raised her voice and said to Him, " Blessed is the womb that bore You and the breasts at which You nursed."

nasb@Luke:11:29 @As the crowds were increasing, He began to say, " This generation is a wicked generation; it seeks for a sign, and yet no sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah.

nasb@Luke:11:30" @For just as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so will the Son of Man be to this generation.

nasb@Luke:11:31" @The Queen of the South will rise up with the men of this generation at the judgment and condemn them, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, something greater than Solomon is here.

nasb@Luke:11:32" @The men of Nineveh will stand up with this generation at the judgment and condemn it, because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, something greater than Jonah is here.

nasb@Luke:11:34" @ The eye is the lamp of your body; when your eye is clear, your whole body also is full of light; but when it is bad, your body also is full of darkness.

nasb@Luke:11:35" @Then watch out that the light in you is not darkness.

nasb@Luke:11:36" @If therefore your whole body is full of light, with no dark part in it, it will be wholly illumined, as when the lamp illumines you with its rays."

nasb@Luke:11:37 @Now when He had spoken, a Pharisee asked Him to have lunch with him; and He went in, and reclined at the table.

nasb@Luke:11:38 @When the Pharisee saw it, he was surprised that He had not first ceremonially washed before the meal.

nasb@Luke:11:39 @But the Lord said to him, "Now you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and of the platter; but inside of you, you are full of robbery and wickedness.

nasb@Luke:11:40" @ You foolish ones, did not He who made the outside make the inside also?

nasb@Luke:11:41" @But give that which is within as charity, and then all things are clean for you.

nasb@Luke:11:42" @ But woe to you Pharisees! For you pay tithe of mint and rue and every kind of garden herb, and yet disregard justice and the love of God; but these are the things you should have done without neglecting the others.

nasb@Luke:11:43" @Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the chief seats in the synagogues and the respectful greetings in the market places.

nasb@Luke:11:45 @One of the lawyers said to Him in reply, "Teacher, when You say this, You insult us too."

nasb@Luke:11:49" @For this reason also the wisdom of God said, ' I will send to them prophets and apostles, and some of them they will kill and some they will persecute,

nasb@Luke:11:50 @so that the blood of all the prophets, shed since the foundation of the world, may be charged against this generation,

nasb@Luke:11:51 @from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who was killed between the altar and the house of God; yes, I tell you, it shall be charged against this generation.'

nasb@Luke:11:53 @When He left there, the scribes and the Pharisees began to be very hostile and to question Him closely on many subjects,

nasb@Luke:11:12 @Under these circumstances, after so many thousands of people had gathered together that they were stepping on one another, He began saying to His disciples first of all, " Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

nasb@Luke:11:2" @ But there is nothing covered up that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known.

nasb@Luke:11:3" @Accordingly, whatever you have said in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in the inner rooms will be proclaimed upon the housetops.

nasb@Luke:11:6" @Are not five sparrows sold for two cents? Yet not one of them is forgotten before God.

nasb@Luke:11:15 @Then He said to them, " Beware, and be on your guard against every form of greed; for not even when one has an abundance does his life consist of his possessions."

nasb@Luke:11:18" @Then he said, 'This is what I will do- I will tear down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods.

nasb@Luke:11:20" @But God said to him, ' You fool! This very night your soul is required of you; and now who will own what you have prepared?'

nasb@Luke:11:21" @So is the man who stores up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God."

nasb@Luke:11:22 @And He said to His disciples, " For this reason I say to you, do not worry about your life, as to what you will eat; nor for your body, as to what you will put on.

nasb@Luke:11:23" @For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing.

nasb@Luke:11:25" @And which of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life's span?

nasb@Luke:11:27" @Consider the lilies, how they grow- they neither toil nor spin; but I tell you, not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these.

nasb@Luke:11:28" @But if God so clothes the grass in the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, how much more will He clothe you? You men of little faith!

nasb@Luke:11:31" @But seek His kingdom, and these things will be added to you.

nasb@Luke:11:34" @For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

nasb@Luke:11:39" @ But be sure of this, that if the head of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have allowed his house to be broken into.

nasb@Luke:11:40" @ You too, be ready; for the Son of Man is coming at an hour that you do not expect."

nasb@Luke:11:41 @Peter said, "Lord, are You addressing this parable to us, or to everyone else as well?"

nasb@Luke:11:42 @And the Lord said, " Who then is the faithful and sensible steward, whom his master will put in charge of his servants, to give them their rations at the proper time?

nasb@Luke:11:43" @Blessed is that slave whom his master finds so doing when he comes.

nasb@Luke:11:44" @Truly I say to you that he will put him in charge of all his possessions.

nasb@Luke:11:45" @But if that slave says in his heart, 'My master will be a long time in coming,' and begins to beat the slaves, both men and women, and to eat and drink and get drunk;

nasb@Luke:11:47" @And that slave who knew his master's will and did not get ready or act in accord with his will, will receive many lashes,

nasb@Luke:11:49" @I have come to cast fire upon the earth; and how I wish it were already kindled!

nasb@Luke:11:50" @But I have a baptism to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished!

nasb@Luke:11:51" @ Do you suppose that I came to grant peace on earth? I tell you, no, but rather division;

nasb@Luke:11:54 @And He was also saying to the crowds, " When you see a cloud rising in the west, immediately you say, 'A shower is coming,' and so it turns out.

nasb@Luke:11:56" @You hypocrites! You know how to analyze the appearance of the earth and the sky, but why do you not analyze this present time?

nasb@Luke:11:57" @And why do you not even on your own initiative judge what is right?

nasb@Luke:11:58" @For while you are going with your opponent to appear before the magistrate, on your way there make an effort to settle with him, so that he may not drag you before the judge, and the judge turn you over to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison.

nasb@Luke:12:2 @And Jesus said to them, " Do you suppose that these Galileans were greater sinners than all other Galileans because they suffered this fate?

nasb@Luke:12:3" @I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.

nasb@Luke:12:5" @I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish."

nasb@Luke:12:6 @And He began telling this parable- "A man had a fig tree which had been planted in his vineyard; and he came looking for fruit on it and did not find any.

nasb@Luke:12:7" @And he said to the vineyard-keeper, 'Behold, for three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree without finding any. Cut it down! Why does it even use up the ground?'

nasb@Luke:12:8" @And he answered and said to him, 'Let it alone, sir, for this year too, until I dig around it and put in fertilizer;

nasb@Luke:12:13 @And He laid His hands on her; and immediately she was made erect again and began glorifying God.

nasb@Luke:12:15 @But the Lord answered him and said, "You hypocrites, does not each of you on the Sabbath untie his ox or his donkey from the stall and lead him away to water him?

nasb@Luke:12:16" @And this woman, a daughter of Abraham as she is, whom Satan has bound for eighteen long years, should she not have been released from this bond on the Sabbath day?"

nasb@Luke:12:17 @As He said this, all His opponents were being humiliated; and the entire crowd was rejoicing over all the glorious things being done by Him.

nasb@Luke:12:18 @So He was saying, " What is the kingdom of God like, and to what shall I compare it?

nasb@Luke:12:19" @It is like a mustard seed, which a man took and threw into his own garden; and it grew and became a tree, and THE BIRDS OF THE AIR NESTED IN ITS BRANCHES."

nasb@Luke:12:21" @ It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three pecks of flour until it was all leavened."

nasb@Luke:12:22 @And He was passing through from one city and village to another, teaching, and proceeding on His way to Jerusalem.

nasb@Luke:12:28" @ In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but yourselves being thrown out.

nasb@Luke:12:31 @Just at that time some Pharisees approached, saying to Him, "Go away, leave here, for Herod wants to kill You."

nasb@Luke:12:33" @Nevertheless I must journey on today and tomorrow and the next day; for it cannot be that a prophet would perish outside of Jerusalem.

nasb@Luke:12:35" @Behold, your house is left to you desolate; and I say to you, you will not see Me until the time comes when you say, ' BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!'"

nasb@Luke:13:1 @It happened that when He went into the house of one of the leaders of the Pharisees on the Sabbath to eat bread, they were watching Him closely.

nasb@Luke:13:3 @And Jesus answered and spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, " Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath, or not?"

nasb@Luke:13:6 @And they could make no reply to this.

nasb@Luke:13:8" @When you are invited by someone to a wedding feast, do not take the place of honor, for someone more distinguished than you may have been invited by him,

nasb@Luke:13:9 @and he who invited you both will come and say to you, 'Give your place to this man,' and then in disgrace you proceed to occupy the last place.

nasb@Luke:13:12 @And He also went on to say to the one who had invited Him, "When you give a luncheon or a dinner, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or rich neighbors, otherwise they may also invite you in return and that will be your repayment.

nasb@Luke:13:15 @When one of those who were reclining at the table with Him heard this, he said to Him, " Blessed is everyone who will eat bread in the kingdom of God!"

nasb@Luke:13:17 @and at the dinner hour he sent his slave to say to those who had been invited, 'Come; for everything is ready now.'

nasb@Luke:13:21" @And the slave came back and reported this to his master. Then the head of the household became angry and said to his slave, 'Go out at once into the streets and lanes of the city and bring in here the poor and crippled and blind and lame.'

nasb@Luke:13:22" @And the slave said, 'Master, what you commanded has been done, and still there is room.'

nasb@Luke:13:26" @ If anyone comes to Me, and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be My disciple.

nasb@Luke:13:27" @Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple.

nasb@Luke:13:29" @Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all who observe it begin to ridicule him,

nasb@Luke:13:30 @saying, 'This man began to build and was not able to finish.'

nasb@Luke:13:31" @Or what king, when he sets out to meet another king in battle, will not first sit down and consider whether he is strong enough with ten thousand men to encounter the one coming against him with twenty thousand?

nasb@Luke:13:32" @Or else, while the other is still far away, he sends a delegation and asks for terms of peace.

nasb@Luke:13:33" @So then, none of you can be My disciple who does not give up all his own possessions.

nasb@Luke:13:34" @Therefore, salt is good; but if even salt has become tasteless, with what will it be seasoned?

nasb@Luke:13:35" @It is useless either for the soil or for the manure pile; it is thrown out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear."

nasb@Luke:14:1 @Now all the tax collectors and the sinners were coming near Him to listen to Him.

nasb@Luke:14:2 @Both the Pharisees and the scribes began to grumble, saying, "This man receives sinners and eats with them."

nasb@Luke:14:3 @So He told them this parable, saying,

nasb@Luke:14:4" @ What man among you, if he has a hundred sheep and has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open pasture and go after the one which is lost until he finds it?

nasb@Luke:14:5" @When he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing.

nasb@Luke:14:6" @And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!'

nasb@Luke:14:10" @In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents."

nasb@Luke:14:12" @The younger of them said to his father, 'Father, give me the share of the estate that falls to me.' So he divided his wealth between them.

nasb@Luke:14:13" @And not many days later, the younger son gathered everything together and went on a journey into a distant country, and there he squandered his estate with loose living.

nasb@Luke:14:14" @Now when he had spent everything, a severe famine occurred in that country, and he began to be impoverished.

nasb@Luke:14:15" @So he went and hired himself out to one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.

nasb@Luke:14:16" @And he would have gladly filled his stomach with the pods that the swine were eating, and no one was giving anything to him.

nasb@Luke:14:17" @But when he came to his senses, he said, 'How many of my father's hired men have more than enough bread, but I am dying here with hunger!

nasb@Luke:14:20" @So he got up and came to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion for him, and ran and embraced him and kissed him.

nasb@Luke:14:22" @But the father said to his slaves, 'Quickly bring out the best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet;

nasb@Luke:14:24 @for this son of mine was dead and has come to life again; he was lost and has been found.' And they began to celebrate.

nasb@Luke:14:25" @Now his older son was in the field, and when he came and approached the house, he heard music and dancing.

nasb@Luke:14:28" @But he became angry and was not willing to go in; and his father came out and began pleading with him.

nasb@Luke:14:29" @But he answered and said to his father, 'Look! For so many years I have been serving you and I have never neglected a command of yours; and yet you have never given me a young goat, so that I might celebrate with my friends;

nasb@Luke:14:30 @but when this son of yours came, who has devoured your wealth with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him.'

nasb@Luke:14:31" @And he said to him, 'Son, you have always been with me, and all that is mine is yours.

nasb@Luke:14:32 @'But we had to celebrate and rejoice, for this brother of yours was dead and has begun to live, and was lost and has been found.'"

nasb@Luke:14:16 @Now He was also saying to the disciples, "There was a rich man who had a manager, and this manager was reported to him as squandering his possessions.

nasb@Luke:14:2" @And he called him and said to him, 'What is this I hear about you? Give an accounting of your management, for you can no longer be manager.'

nasb@Luke:14:3" @The manager said to himself, 'What shall I do, since my master is taking the management away from me? I am not strong enough to dig; I am ashamed to beg.

nasb@Luke:14:5" @And he summoned each one of his master's debtors, and he began saying to the first, 'How much do you owe my master?'

nasb@Luke:14:8" @And his master praised the unrighteous manager because he had acted shrewdly; for the sons of this age are more shrewd in relation to their own kind than the sons of light.

nasb@Luke:14:10" @ He who is faithful in a very little thing is faithful also in much; and he who is unrighteous in a very little thing is unrighteous also in much.

nasb@Luke:14:12" @And if you have not been faithful in the use of that which is another's, who will give you that which is your own?

nasb@Luke:14:13" @ No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth."

nasb@Luke:14:14 @Now the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, were listening to all these things and were scoffing at Him.

nasb@Luke:14:15 @And He said to them, "You are those who justify yourselves in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts; for that which is highly esteemed among men is detestable in the sight of God.

nasb@Luke:14:16" @ The Law and the Prophets were proclaimed until John; since that time the gospel of the kingdom of God has been preached, and everyone is forcing his way into it.

nasb@Luke:14:17" @ But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one stroke of a letter of the Law to fail.

nasb@Luke:14:18" @ Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery, and he who marries one who is divorced from a husband commits adultery.

nasb@Luke:14:20" @And a poor man named Lazarus was laid at his gate, covered with sores,

nasb@Luke:14:21 @and longing to be fed with the crumbs which were falling from the rich man's table; besides, even the dogs were coming and licking his sores.

nasb@Luke:14:23" @In Hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far away and Lazarus in his bosom.

nasb@Luke:14:24" @And he cried out and said, ' Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus so that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool off my tongue, for I am in agony in this flame.'

nasb@Luke:14:25" @But Abraham said, 'Child, remember that during your life you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus bad things; but now he is being comforted here, and you are in agony.

nasb@Luke:14:26 @'And besides all this, between us and you there is a great chasm fixed, so that those who wish to come over from here to you will not be able, and that none may cross over from there to us.'

nasb@Luke:14:28 @for I have five brothers--in order that he may warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.'

nasb@Luke:14:31" @But he said to him, 'If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be persuaded even if someone rises from the dead.'"

nasb@Luke:14:17 @He said to His disciples, " It is inevitable that stumbling blocks come, but woe to him through whom they come!

nasb@Luke:14:2" @ It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea, than that he would cause one of these little ones to stumble.

nasb@Luke:14:6 @And the Lord said, "If you had faith like a mustard seed, you would say to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and be planted in the sea'; and it would obey you.

nasb@Luke:14:12 @As He entered a village, ten leprous men who stood at a distance met Him;

nasb@Luke:14:13 @and they raised their voices, saying, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!"

nasb@Luke:14:16 @and he fell on his face at His feet, giving thanks to Him. And he was a Samaritan.

nasb@Luke:14:18" @Was no one found who returned to give glory to God, except this foreigner?"

nasb@Luke:14:20 @Now having been questioned by the Pharisees as to when the kingdom of God was coming, He answered them and said, "The kingdom of God is not coming with signs to be observed;

nasb@Luke:14:21 @nor will they say, 'Look, here it is!' or, 'There it is!' For behold, the kingdom of God is in your midst."

nasb@Luke:14:22 @And He said to the disciples, " The days will come when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it.

nasb@Luke:14:24" @ For just like the lightning, when it flashes out of one part of the sky, shines to the other part of the sky, so will the Son of Man be in His day.

nasb@Luke:14:25" @ But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.

nasb@Luke:14:30" @It will be just the same on the day that the Son of Man is revealed.

nasb@Luke:14:31" @On that day, the one who is on the housetop and whose goods are in the house must not go down to take them out; and likewise the one who is in the field must not turn back.

nasb@Luke:14:33" @ Whoever seeks to keep his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life will preserve it.

nasb@Luke:14:37 @And answering they said to Him, "Where, LordNULL" And He said to them, " Where the body is, there also the vultures will be gathered."

nasb@Luke:15:5 @yet because this widow bothers me, I will give her legal protection, otherwise by continually coming she will wear me out.'"

nasb@Luke:15:7 @now, will not God bring about justice for His elect who cry to Him day and night, and will He delay long over them?

nasb@Luke:15:9 @And He also told this parable to some people who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and viewed others with contempt-

nasb@Luke:15:10" @Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.

nasb@Luke:15:11" @The Pharisee stood and was praying this to himself- 'God, I thank You that I am not like other people: swindlers, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.

nasb@Luke:15:13" @But the tax collector, standing some distance away, was even unwilling to lift up his eyes to heaven, but was beating his breast, saying, 'God, be merciful to me, the sinner!'

nasb@Luke:15:14" @I tell you, this man went to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted."

nasb@Luke:15:15 @And they were bringing even their babies to Him so that He would touch them, but when the disciples saw it, they began rebuking them.

nasb@Luke:15:19 @And Jesus said to him, "Why do you call Me good? No one is good except God alone.

nasb@Luke:15:22 @When Jesus heard this, He said to him, "One thing you still lack; sell all that you possess and distribute it to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me."

nasb@Luke:15:24 @And Jesus looked at him and said, " How hard it is for those who are wealthy to enter the kingdom of God!

nasb@Luke:15:25" @For it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."

nasb@Luke:15:29 @And He said to them, "Truly I say to you, there is no one who has left house or wife or brothers or parents or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God,

nasb@Luke:15:30 @who will not receive many times as much at this time and in the age to come, eternal life."

nasb@Luke:15:31 @Then He took the twelve aside and said to them, "Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all things which are written through the prophets about the Son of Man will be accomplished.

nasb@Luke:15:32" @ For He will be handed over to the Gentiles, and will be mocked and mistreated and spit upon,

nasb@Luke:15:33 @and after they have scourged Him, they will kill Him; and the third day He will rise again."

nasb@Luke:15:34 @But the disciples understood none of these things, and the meaning of this statement was hidden from them, and they did not comprehend the things that were said.

nasb@Luke:15:36 @Now hearing a crowd going by, he began to inquire what this was.

nasb@Luke:15:43 @Immediately he regained his sight and began following Him, glorifying God; and when all the people saw it, they gave praise to God.

nasb@Luke:16:7 @When they saw it, they all began to grumble, saying, "He has gone to be the guest of a man who is a sinner."

nasb@Luke:16:9 @And Jesus said to him, "Today salvation has come to this house, because he, too, is a son of Abraham.

nasb@Luke:16:11 @While they were listening to these things, Jesus went on to tell a parable, because He was near Jerusalem, and they supposed that the kingdom of God was going to appear immediately.

nasb@Luke:16:12 @So He said, " A nobleman went to a distant country to receive a kingdom for himself, and then return.

nasb@Luke:16:13" @And he called ten of his slaves, and gave them ten minas and said to them, 'Do business with this until I come back.'

nasb@Luke:16:14" @But his citizens hated him and sent a delegation after him, saying, 'We do not want this man to reign over us.'

nasb@Luke:16:20" @Another came, saying, 'Master, here is your mina, which I kept put away in a handkerchief;

nasb@Luke:16:29 @When He approached Bethphage and Bethany, near the mount that is called Olivet, He sent two of the disciples,

nasb@Luke:16:37 @As soon as He was approaching, near the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of the disciples began to praise God joyfully with a loud voice for all the miracles which they had seen,

nasb@Luke:16:38 @shouting- " BLESSED IS THE KING WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD; Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!"

nasb@Luke:16:39 @Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Him, "Teacher, rebuke Your disciples."

nasb@Luke:16:42 @saying, "If you had known in this day, even you, the things which make for peace! But now they have been hidden from your eyes.

nasb@Luke:16:44 @and they will level you to the ground and your children within you, and they will not leave in you one stone upon another, because you did not recognize the time of your visitation."

nasb@Luke:17:2 @and they spoke, saying to Him, "Tell us by what authority You are doing these things, or who is the one who gave You this authority?"

nasb@Luke:17:4" @Was the baptism of John from heaven or from men?"

nasb@Luke:17:9 @And He began to tell the people this parable- "A man planted a vineyard and rented it out to vine-growers, and went on a journey for a long time.

nasb@Luke:17:12" @And he proceeded to send a third; and this one also they wounded and cast out.

nasb@Luke:17:14" @But when the vine-growers saw him, they reasoned with one another, saying, 'This is the heir; let us kill him so that the inheritance will be ours.'

nasb@Luke:17:17 @But Jesus looked at them and said, "What then is this that is written- ' THE STONE WHICH THE BUILDERS REJECTED, THIS BECAME THE CHIEF CORNER stone'?

nasb@Luke:17:19 @The scribes and the chief priests tried to lay hands on Him that very hour, and they feared the people; for they understood that He spoke this parable against them.

nasb@Luke:17:22" @Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?"

nasb@Luke:17:26 @And they were unable to catch Him in a saying in the presence of the people; and being amazed at His answer, they became silent.

nasb@Luke:17:27 @Now there came to Him some of the Sadducees (who say that there is no resurrection),

nasb@Luke:17:28 @and they questioned Him, saying, "Teacher, Moses wrote for us that IF A MAN'S BROTHER DIES, having a wife, AND HE IS CHILDLESS, HIS BROTHER SHOULD MARRY THE WIFE AND RAISE UP CHILDREN TO HIS BROTHER.

nasb@Luke:17:34 @Jesus said to them, "The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage,

nasb@Luke:17:37" @But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed, in the passage about the burning bush, where he calls the Lord THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, AND THE GOD OF ISAAC, AND THE GOD OF JACOB.

nasb@Luke:17:38" @ Now He is not the God of the dead but of the living; for all live to Him."

nasb@Luke:17:41 @Then He said to them, "How is it that they say the Christ is David's son?

nasb@Luke:17:44" @Therefore David calls Him 'Lord,' and how is He his son?"

nasb@Luke:17:45 @And while all the people were listening, He said to the disciples,

nasb@Luke:18:3 @And He said, "Truly I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all of them;

nasb@Luke:18:8 @And He said, "See to it that you are not misled; for many will come in My name, saying, ' I am He,' and, 'The time is near.' Do not go after them.

nasb@Luke:18:9" @When you hear of wars and disturbances, do not be terrified; for these things must take place first, but the end does not follow immediately."

nasb@Luke:18:10 @Then He continued by saying to them, "Nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom,

nasb@Luke:18:12" @But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and will persecute you, delivering you to the synagogues and prisons, bringing you before kings and governors for My name's sake.

nasb@Luke:18:15 @for I will give you utterance and wisdom which none of your opponents will be able to resist or refute.

nasb@Luke:18:18" @Yet not a hair of your head will perish.

nasb@Luke:18:20" @But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then recognize that her desolation is near.

nasb@Luke:18:23" @Woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days; for there will be great distress upon the land and wrath to this people;

nasb@Luke:18:25" @There will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth dismay among nations, in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and the waves,

nasb@Luke:18:28" @But when these things begin to take place, straighten up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near."

nasb@Luke:18:30 @as soon as they put forth leaves, you see it and know for yourselves that summer is now near.

nasb@Luke:18:31" @So you also, when you see these things happening, recognize that the kingdom of God is near.

nasb@Luke:18:32" @Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all things take place.

nasb@Luke:18:34" @ Be on guard, so that your hearts will not be weighted down with dissipation and drunkenness and the worries of life, and that day will not come on you suddenly like a trap;

nasb@Luke:18:37 @Now during the day He was teaching in the temple, but at evening He would go out and spend the night on the mount that is called Olivet.

nasb@Luke:18:38 @And all the people would get up early in the morning to come to Him in the temple to listen to Him.

nasb@Luke:19:1 @Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread, which is called the Passover, was approaching.

nasb@Luke:19:3 @And Satan entered into Judas who was called Iscariot, belonging to the number of the twelve.

nasb@Luke:19:4 @And he went away and discussed with the chief priests and officers how he might betray Him to them.

nasb@Luke:19:11" @And you shall say to the owner of the house, 'The Teacher says to you, "Where is the guest room in which I may eat the Passover with My disciples?"'

nasb@Luke:19:12" @And he will show you a large, furnished upper room; prepare it there."

nasb@Luke:19:15 @And He said to them, "I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer;

nasb@Luke:19:16 @for I say to you, I shall never again eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God."

nasb@Luke:19:17 @And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He said, "Take this and share it among yourselves;

nasb@Luke:19:19 @And when He had taken some bread and given thanks, He broke it and gave it to them, saying, "This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me."

nasb@Luke:19:20 @And in the same way He took the cup after they had eaten, saying, "This cup which is poured out for you is the new covenant in My blood.

nasb@Luke:19:21" @ But behold, the hand of the one betraying Me is with Mine on the table.

nasb@Luke:19:22" @For indeed, the Son of Man is going as it has been determined; but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed!"

nasb@Luke:19:23 @And they began to discuss among themselves which one of them it might be who was going to do this thing.

nasb@Luke:19:24 @And there arose also a dispute among them as to which one of them was regarded to be greatest.

nasb@Luke:19:26" @But it is not this way with you, but the one who is the greatest among you must become like the youngest, and the leader like the servant.

nasb@Luke:19:27" @For who is greater, the one who reclines at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines at the table? But I am among you as the one who serves.

nasb@Luke:19:30 @that you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom, and you will sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

nasb@Luke:19:31" @Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has demanded permission to sift you like wheat;

nasb@Luke:19:33 @But he said to Him, "Lord, with You I am ready to go both to prison and to death!"

nasb@Luke:19:36 @And He said to them, "But now, whoever has a money belt is to take it along, likewise also a bag, and whoever has no sword is to sell his coat and buy one.

nasb@Luke:19:37" @For I tell you that this which is written must be fulfilled in Me, ' AND HE WAS NUMBERED WITH TRANSGRESSORS'; for that which refers to Me has its fulfillment."

nasb@Luke:19:38 @They said, "Lord, look, here are two swords." And He said to them, "It is enough."

nasb@Luke:19:39 @And He came out and proceeded as was His custom to the Mount of Olives; and the disciples also followed Him.

nasb@Luke:19:42 @saying, "Father, if You are willing, remove this cup from Me; yet not My will, but Yours be done."

nasb@Luke:19:44 @And being in agony He was praying very fervently; and His sweat became like drops of blood, falling down upon the ground.

nasb@Luke:19:45 @When He rose from prayer, He came to the disciples and found them sleeping from sorrow,

nasb@Luke:19:47 @While He was still speaking, behold, a crowd came, and the one called Judas, one of the twelve, was preceding them; and he approached Jesus to kiss Him.

nasb@Luke:19:48 @But Jesus said to him, "Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?"

nasb@Luke:19:50 @And one of them struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his right ear.

nasb@Luke:19:51 @But Jesus answered and said, "Stop! No more of this." And He touched his ear and healed him.

nasb@Luke:19:53" @While I was with you daily in the temple, you did not lay hands on Me; but this hour and the power of darkness are yours."

nasb@Luke:19:54 @Having arrested Him, they led Him away and brought Him to the house of the high priest; but Peter was following at a distance.

nasb@Luke:19:56 @And a servant-girl, seeing him as he sat in the firelight and looking intently at him, said, "This man was with Him too."

nasb@Luke:19:59 @After about an hour had passed, another man began to insist, saying, "Certainly this man also was with Him, for he is a Galilean too."

nasb@Luke:19:64 @and they blindfolded Him and were asking Him, saying, " Prophesy, who is the one who hit You?"

nasb@Luke:19:67" @ If You are the Christ, tell us." But He said to them, "If I tell you, you will not believe;

nasb@Luke:19:71 @Then they said, "What further need do we have of testimonyNULL For we have heard it ourselves from His own mouth."

nasb@Luke:20:2 @And they began to accuse Him, saying, "We found this man misleading our nation and forbidding to pay taxes to Caesar, and saying that He Himself is Christ, a King."

nasb@Luke:20:3 @So Pilate asked Him, saying, "Are You the King of the Jews?" And He answered him and said, " It is as you say."

nasb@Luke:20:4 @Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, " I find no guilt in this man."

nasb@Luke:20:5 @But they kept on insisting, saying, "He stirs up the people, teaching all over Judea, starting from Galilee even as far as this place."

nasb@Luke:20:7 @And when he learned that He belonged to Herod's jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who himself also was in Jerusalem at that time.

nasb@Luke:20:11 @And Herod with his soldiers, after treating Him with contempt and mocking Him, dressed Him in a gorgeous robe and sent Him back to Pilate.

nasb@Luke:20:14 @and said to them, "You brought this man to me as one who incites the people to rebellion, and behold, having examined Him before you, I have found no guilt in this man regarding the charges which you make against Him.

nasb@Luke:20:16" @Therefore I will punish Him and release Him."

nasb@Luke:20:17 @[ Now he was obliged to release to them at the feast one prisoner.]

nasb@Luke:20:18 @But they cried out all together, saying, " Away with this man, and release for us Barabbas!"

nasb@Luke:20:19 @(He was one who had been thrown into prison for an insurrection made in the city, and for murder.)

nasb@Luke:20:22 @And he said to them the third time, "Why, what evil has this man done? I have found in Him no guilt demanding death; therefore I will punish Him and release Him."

nasb@Luke:20:23 @But they were insistent, with loud voices asking that He be crucified. And their voices began to prevail.

nasb@Luke:20:25 @And he released the man they were asking for who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, but he delivered Jesus to their will.

nasb@Luke:20:31" @For if they do these things when the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?"

nasb@Luke:20:34 @But Jesus was saying, " Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing." And they cast lots, dividing up His garments among themselves.

nasb@Luke:20:35 @And the people stood by, looking on. And even the rulers were sneering at Him, saying, "He saved others; let Him save Himself if this is the Christ of God, His Chosen One."

nasb@Luke:20:38 @Now there was also an inscription above Him, " THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS."

nasb@Luke:20:39 @One of the criminals who were hanged there was hurling abuse at Him, saying, "Are You not the Christ? Save Yourself and us!"

nasb@Luke:20:41" @And we indeed are suffering justly, for we are receiving what we deserve for our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong."

nasb@Luke:20:43 @And He said to him, "Truly I say to you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise."

nasb@Luke:20:46 @And Jesus, crying out with a loud voice, said, "Father, INTO YOUR HANDS I COMMIT MY SPIRIT." Having said this, He breathed His last.

nasb@Luke:20:47 @Now when the centurion saw what had happened, he began praising God, saying, "Certainly this man was innocent."

nasb@Luke:20:48 @And all the crowds who came together for this spectacle, when they observed what had happened, began to return, beating their breasts.

nasb@Luke:20:49 @And all His acquaintances and the women who accompanied Him from Galilee were standing at a distance, seeing these things.

nasb@Luke:20:52 @this man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.

nasb@Luke:20:55 @Now the women who had come with Him out of Galilee followed, and saw the tomb and how His body was laid.

nasb@Luke:21:4 @While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men suddenly stood near them in dazzling clothing;

nasb@Luke:21:6" @He is not here, but He has risen. Remember how He spoke to you while He was still in Galilee,

nasb@Luke:21:7 @saying that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again."

nasb@Luke:21:8 @And they remembered His words,

nasb@Luke:21:12 @But Peter got up and ran to the tomb; stooping and looking in, he saw the linen wrappings only; and he went away to his home, marveling at what had happened.

nasb@Luke:21:15 @While they were talking and discussing, Jesus Himself approached and began traveling with them.

nasb@Luke:21:18 @One of them, named Cleopas, answered and said to Him, "Are You the only one visiting Jerusalem and unaware of the things which have happened here in these days?"

nasb@Luke:21:21" @But we were hoping that it was He who was going to redeem Israel. Indeed, besides all this, it is the third day since these things happened.

nasb@Luke:21:23 @and did not find His body, they came, saying that they had also seen a vision of angels who said that He was alive.

nasb@Luke:21:25 @And He said to them, "O foolish men and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken!

nasb@Luke:21:26" @ Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and to enter into His glory?"

nasb@Luke:21:29 @But they urged Him, saying, "Stay with us, for it is getting toward evening, and the day is now nearly over." So He went in to stay with them.

nasb@Luke:21:31 @Then their eyes were opened and they recognized Him; and He vanished from their sight.

nasb@Luke:21:34 @saying, " The Lord has really risen and has appeared to Simon."

nasb@Luke:21:38 @And He said to them, "Why are you troubled, and why do doubts arise in your hearts?

nasb@Luke:21:39" @ See My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself; touch Me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have."

nasb@Luke:21:40 @And when He had said this, He showed them His hands and His feet.

nasb@Luke:21:42 @They gave Him a piece of a broiled fish;

nasb@Luke:21:46 @and He said to them, " Thus it is written, that the Christ would suffer and rise again from the dead the third day,

nasb@Luke:21:47 @and that repentance for forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed in His name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem.

nasb@Luke:21:49" @And behold, I am sending forth the promise of My Father upon you; but you are to stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high."

nasb@Luke:21:50 @And He led them out as far as Bethany, and He lifted up His hands and blessed them.

nasb@Luke:21:53 @and were continually in the temple praising God.

nasb@John:1:11 @He came to His own, and those who were His own did not receive Him.

nasb@John:1:12 @But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name,

nasb@John:1:14 @And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.

nasb@John:1:15 @John testified about Him and cried out, saying, "This was He of whom I said, ' He who comes after me has a higher rank than I, for He existed before me.'"

nasb@John:1:16 @For of His fullness we have all received, and grace upon grace.

nasb@John:1:17 @For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ.

nasb@John:1:18 @No one has seen God at any time; the only begotten God who is in the bosom of the Father, He has explained Him.

nasb@John:1:19 @This is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent to him priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, "Who are you?"

nasb@John:1:20 @And he confessed and did not deny, but confessed, " I am not the Christ."

nasb@John:1:23 @He said, "I am A VOICE OF ONE CRYING IN THE WILDERNESS, 'MAKE STRAIGHT THE WAY OF THE LORD,' as Isaiah the prophet said."

nasb@John:1:24 @Now they had been sent from the Pharisees.

nasb@John:1:25 @They asked him, and said to him, "Why then are you baptizing, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?"

nasb@John:1:27" @It is He who comes after me, the thong of whose sandal I am not worthy to untie."

nasb@John:1:30" @This is He on behalf of whom I said, ' After me comes a Man who has a higher rank than I, for He existed before me.'

nasb@John:1:31" @I did not recognize Him, but so that He might be manifested to Israel, I came baptizing in water."

nasb@John:1:33" @I did not recognize Him, but He who sent me to baptize in water said to me, 'He upon whom you see the Spirit descending and remaining upon Him, this is the One who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.'

nasb@John:1:34" @I myself have seen, and have testified that this is the Son of God."

nasb@John:1:35 @Again the next day John was standing with two of his disciples,

nasb@John:1:37 @The two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.

nasb@John:1:41 @He found first his own brother Simon and said to him, "We have found the Messiah" (which translated means Christ).

nasb@John:1:42 @He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, "You are Simon the son of John; you shall be called Cephas" (which is translated Peter).

nasb@John:1:47 @Jesus saw Nathanael coming to Him, and said of him, "Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom there is no deceit!"

nasb@John:1:49 @Nathanael answered Him, " Rabbi, You are the Son of God; You are the King of Israel."

nasb@John:2:2 @and both Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding.

nasb@John:2:5 @His mother said to the servants, "Whatever He says to you, do it."

nasb@John:2:6 @Now there were six stone waterpots set there for the Jewish custom of purification, containing twenty or thirty gallons each.

nasb@John:2:11 @This beginning of His signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and manifested His glory, and His disciples believed in Him.

nasb@John:2:12 @After this He went down to Capernaum, He and His mother and His brothers and His disciples; and they stayed there a few days.

nasb@John:2:17 @His disciples remembered that it was written, " ZEAL FOR YOUR HOUSE WILL CONSUME ME."

nasb@John:2:19 @Jesus answered them, " Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up."

nasb@John:2:20 @The Jews then said, "It took forty-six years to build this temple, and will You raise it up in three days?"

nasb@John:2:21 @But He was speaking of the temple of His body.

nasb@John:2:22 @So when He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He said this; and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken.

nasb@John:2:23 @Now when He was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name, observing His signs which He was doing.

nasb@John:2:24 @But Jesus, on His part, was not entrusting Himself to them, for He knew all men,

nasb@John:3:1 @Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews;

nasb@John:3:2 @this man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, " Rabbi, we know that You have come from God as a teacher; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him."

nasb@John:3:3 @Jesus answered and said to him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God."

nasb@John:3:4 @Nicodemus said to Him, "How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born, can he?"

nasb@John:3:5 @Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

nasb@John:3:6" @ That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

nasb@John:3:8" @ The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going; so is everyone who is born of the Spirit."

nasb@John:3:10 @Jesus answered and said to him, "Are you the teacher of Israel and do not understand these things?

nasb@John:3:16" @For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.

nasb@John:3:18" @ He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

nasb@John:3:19" @This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil.

nasb@John:3:20" @ For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.

nasb@John:3:21" @But he who practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds may be manifested as having been wrought in God."

nasb@John:3:22 @After these things Jesus and His disciples came into the land of Judea, and there He was spending time with them and baptizing.

nasb@John:3:24 @for John had not yet been thrown into prison.

nasb@John:3:25 @Therefore there arose a discussion on the part of John's disciples with a Jew about purification.

nasb@John:3:26 @And they came to John and said to him, " Rabbi, He who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have testified, behold, He is baptizing and all are coming to Him."

nasb@John:3:28" @You yourselves are my witnesses that I said, ' I am not the Christ,' but, 'I have been sent ahead of Him.'

nasb@John:3:29" @He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom's voice. So this joy of mine has been made full.

nasb@John:3:31" @ He who comes from above is above all, he who is of the earth is from the earth and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all.

nasb@John:3:32" @What He has seen and heard, of that He testifies; and no one receives His testimony.

nasb@John:3:33" @He who has received His testimony has set his seal to this, that God is true.

nasb@John:3:35" @ The Father loves the Son and has given all things into His hand.

nasb@John:4:1 @Therefore when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John

nasb@John:4:2 @(although Jesus Himself was not baptizing, but His disciples were),

nasb@John:4:5 @So He came to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph;

nasb@John:4:6 @and Jacob's well was there. So Jesus, being wearied from His journey, was sitting thus by the well. It was about the sixth hour.

nasb@John:4:8 @For His disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.

nasb@John:4:9 @Therefore the Samaritan woman said to Him, "How is it that You, being a Jew, ask me for a drink since I am a Samaritan woman?" (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)

nasb@John:4:10 @Jesus answered and said to her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, 'Give Me a drink,' you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water."

nasb@John:4:11 @She said to Him, "Sir, You have nothing to draw with and the well is deep; where then do You get that living water?

nasb@John:4:12" @You are not greater than our father Jacob, are You, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself and his sons and his cattle?"

nasb@John:4:13 @Jesus answered and said to her, "Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again;

nasb@John:4:15 @The woman said to Him, "Sir, give me this water, so I will not be thirsty nor come all the way here to draw."

nasb@John:4:18 @for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband; this you have said truly."

nasb@John:4:20" @ Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you people say that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship."

nasb@John:4:21 @Jesus said to her, "Woman, believe Me, an hour is coming when neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.

nasb@John:4:22" @ You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews.

nasb@John:4:23" @But an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers.

nasb@John:4:24" @God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth."

nasb@John:4:25 @The woman said to Him, "I know that Messiah is coming ( He who is called Christ); when that One comes, He will declare all things to us."

nasb@John:4:27 @At this point His disciples came, and they were amazed that He had been speaking with a woman, yet no one said, "What do You seek?" or, "Why do You speak with her?"

nasb@John:4:29" @Come, see a man who told me all the things that I have done; this is not the Christ, is it?"

nasb@John:4:31 @Meanwhile the disciples were urging Him, saying, " Rabbi, eat."

nasb@John:4:33 @So the disciples were saying to one another, "No one brought Him anything to eat, did he?"

nasb@John:4:34 @Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to accomplish His work.

nasb@John:4:36" @Already he who reaps is receiving wages and is gathering fruit for life eternal; so that he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together.

nasb@John:4:37" @For in this case the saying is true, ' One sows and another reaps.'

nasb@John:4:41 @Many more believed because of His word;

nasb@John:4:42 @and they were saying to the woman, "It is no longer because of what you said that we believe, for we have heard for ourselves and know that this One is indeed the Savior of the world."

nasb@John:4:44 @For Jesus Himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.

nasb@John:4:47 @When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to Him and was imploring Him to come down and heal his son; for he was at the point of death.

nasb@John:4:51 @As he was now going down, his slaves met him, saying that his son was living.

nasb@John:4:53 @So the father knew that it was at that hour in which Jesus said to him, "Your son lives"; and he himself believed and his whole household.

nasb@John:4:54 @This is again a second sign that Jesus performed when He had come out of Judea into Galilee.

nasb@John:5:2 @Now there is in Jerusalem by the sheep gate a pool, which is called in Hebrew Bethesda, having five porticoes.

nasb@John:5:4 @for an angel of the Lord went down at certain seasons into the pool and stirred up the water; whoever then first, after the stirring up of the water, stepped in was made well from whatever disease with which he was afflicted.]

nasb@John:5:6 @When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he had already been a long time in that condition, He said to him, "Do you wish to get well?"

nasb@John:5:7 @The sick man answered Him, "Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I am coming, another steps down before me."

nasb@John:5:9 @Immediately the man became well, and picked up his pallet and began to walk. Now it was the Sabbath on that day.

nasb@John:5:10 @So the Jews were saying to the man who was cured, "It is the Sabbath, and it is not permissible for you to carry your pallet."

nasb@John:5:12 @They asked him, "Who is the man who said to you, 'Pick up your pallet and walk'?"

nasb@John:5:16 @For this reason the Jews were persecuting Jesus, because He was doing these things on the Sabbath.

nasb@John:5:17 @But He answered them, "My Father is working until now, and I Myself am working."

nasb@John:5:18 @For this reason therefore the Jews were seeking all the more to kill Him, because He not only was breaking the Sabbath, but also was calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God.

nasb@John:5:19 @Therefore Jesus answered and was saying to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, unless it is something He sees the Father doing; for whatever the Father does, these things the Son also does in like manner.

nasb@John:5:20" @ For the Father loves the Son, and shows Him all things that He Himself is doing; and the Father will show Him greater works than these, so that you will marvel.

nasb@John:5:21" @For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son also gives life to whom He wishes.

nasb@John:5:25" @Truly, truly, I say to you, an hour is coming and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.

nasb@John:5:27 @and He gave Him authority to execute judgment, because He is the Son of Man.

nasb@John:5:28" @Do not marvel at this; for an hour is coming, in which all who are in the tombs will hear His voice,

nasb@John:5:30" @ I can do nothing on My own initiative. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is just, because I do not seek My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.

nasb@John:5:31" @ If I alone testify about Myself, My testimony is not true.

nasb@John:5:32" @There is another who testifies of Me, and I know that the testimony which He gives about Me is true.

nasb@John:5:34" @But the testimony which I receive is not from man, but I say these things so that you may be saved.

nasb@John:5:35" @He was the lamp that was burning and was shining and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light.

nasb@John:5:36" @But the testimony which I have is greater than the testimony of John; for the works which the Father has given Me to accomplish--the very works that I do--testify about Me, that the Father has sent Me.

nasb@John:5:37" @And the Father who sent Me, He has testified of Me. You have neither heard His voice at any time nor seen His form.

nasb@John:5:38" @You do not have His word abiding in you, for you do not believe Him whom He sent.

nasb@John:5:39" @ You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; it is these that testify about Me;

nasb@John:5:43" @I have come in My Father's name, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, you will receive him.

nasb@John:5:44" @How can you believe, when you receive glory from one another and you do not seek the glory that is from the one and only God?

nasb@John:5:45" @Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father; the one who accuses you is Moses, in whom you have set your hope.

nasb@John:5:47" @But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My wordsNULL"

nasb@John:6:3 @Then Jesus went up on the mountain, and there He sat down with His disciples.

nasb@John:6:5 @Therefore Jesus, lifting up His eyes and seeing that a large crowd was coming to Him, said to Philip, "Where are we to buy bread, so that these may eat?"

nasb@John:6:6 @This He was saying to test him, for He Himself knew what He was intending to do.

nasb@John:6:7 @Philip answered Him, " Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, for everyone to receive a little."

nasb@John:6:8 @One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to Him,

nasb@John:6:9" @There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what are these for so many people?"

nasb@John:6:11 @Jesus then took the loaves, and having given thanks, He distributed to those who were seated; likewise also of the fish as much as they wanted.

nasb@John:6:12 @When they were filled, He said to His disciples, "Gather up the leftover fragments so that nothing will be lost."

nasb@John:6:14 @Therefore when the people saw the sign which He had performed, they said, "This is truly the Prophet who is to come into the world."

nasb@John:6:16 @Now when evening came, His disciples went down to the sea,

nasb@John:6:20 @But He said to them, "It is I; do not be afraid."

nasb@John:6:22 @The next day the crowd that stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other small boat there, except one, and that Jesus had not entered with His disciples into the boat, but that His disciples had gone away alone.

nasb@John:6:24 @So when the crowd saw that Jesus was not there, nor His disciples, they themselves got into the small boats, and came to Capernaum seeking Jesus.

nasb@John:6:27" @Do not work for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you, for on Him the Father, God, has set His seal."

nasb@John:6:29 @Jesus answered and said to them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He has sent."

nasb@John:6:31" @ Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, ' HE GAVE THEM BREAD OUT OF HEAVEN TO EAT.'"

nasb@John:6:32 @Jesus then said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, it is not Moses who has given you the bread out of heaven, but it is My Father who gives you the true bread out of heaven.

nasb@John:6:33" @For the bread of God is that which comes down out of heaven, and gives life to the world."

nasb@John:6:34 @Then they said to Him, "Lord, always give us this bread."

nasb@John:6:39" @This is the will of Him who sent Me, that of all that He has given Me I lose nothing, but raise it up on the last day.

nasb@John:6:40" @For this is the will of My Father, that everyone who beholds the Son and believes in Him will have eternal life, and I Myself will raise him up on the last day."

nasb@John:6:42 @They were saying, " Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does He now say, ' I have come down out of heaven'?"

nasb@John:6:44" @No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up on the last day.

nasb@John:6:45" @It is written in the prophets, ' AND THEY SHALL ALL BE TAUGHT OF GOD.' Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father, comes to Me.

nasb@John:6:46" @ Not that anyone has seen the Father, except the One who is from God; He has seen the Father.

nasb@John:6:50" @This is the bread which comes down out of heaven, so that one may eat of it and not die.

nasb@John:6:51" @ I am the living bread that came down out of heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread also which I will give for the life of the world is My flesh."

nasb@John:6:52 @Then the Jews began to argue with one another, saying, "How can this man give us His flesh to eat?"

nasb@John:6:53 @So Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in yourselves.

nasb@John:6:54" @He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.

nasb@John:6:55" @For My flesh is true food, and My blood is true drink.

nasb@John:6:58" @This is the bread which came down out of heaven; not as the fathers ate and died; he who eats this bread will live forever."

nasb@John:6:60 @Therefore many of His disciples, when they heard this said, " This is a difficult statement; who can listen to it?"

nasb@John:6:61 @But Jesus, conscious that His disciples grumbled at this, said to them, "Does this cause you to stumble?

nasb@John:6:63" @ It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing; the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life.

nasb@John:6:65 @And He was saying, "For this reason I have said to you, that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted him from the Father."

nasb@John:6:66 @As a result of this many of His disciples withdrew and were not walking with Him anymore.

nasb@John:6:70 @Jesus answered them, " Did I Myself not choose you, the twelve, and yet one of you is a devil?"

nasb@John:6:71 @Now He meant Judas the son of Simon Iscariot, for he, one of the twelve, was going to betray Him.

nasb@John:7:3 @Therefore His brothers said to Him, "Leave here and go into Judea, so that Your disciples also may see Your works which You are doing.

nasb@John:7:5 @For not even His brothers were believing in Him.

nasb@John:7:6 @So Jesus said to them, " My time is not yet here, but your time is always opportune.

nasb@John:7:8" @Go up to the feast yourselves; I do not go up to this feast because My time has not yet fully come."

nasb@John:7:10 @But when His brothers had gone up to the feast, then He Himself also went up, not publicly, but as if, in secret.

nasb@John:7:11 @So the Jews were seeking Him at the feast and were saying, "Where is He?"

nasb@John:7:12 @There was much grumbling among the crowds concerning Him; some were saying, "He is a good man"; others were saying, "No, on the contrary, He leads the people astray."

nasb@John:7:15 @The Jews then were astonished, saying, "How has this man become learned, having never been educated?"

nasb@John:7:16 @So Jesus answered them and said, " My teaching is not Mine, but His who sent Me.

nasb@John:7:17" @ If anyone is willing to do His will, he will know of the teaching, whether it is of God or whether I speak from Myself.

nasb@John:7:18" @He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who is seeking the glory of the One who sent Him, He is true, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.

nasb@John:7:22" @For this reason Moses has given you circumcision (not because it is from Moses, but from the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a man.

nasb@John:7:23" @ If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath so that the Law of Moses will not be broken, are you angry with Me because I made an entire man well on the Sabbath?

nasb@John:7:25 @So some of the people of Jerusalem were saying, "Is this not the man whom they are seeking to kill?

nasb@John:7:26" @Look, He is speaking publicly, and they are saying nothing to Him. The rulers do not really know that this is the Christ, do they?

nasb@John:7:27" @However, we know where this man is from; but whenever the Christ may come, no one knows where He is from."

nasb@John:7:28 @Then Jesus cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, " You both know Me and know where I am from; and I have not come of Myself, but He who sent Me is true, whom you do not know.

nasb@John:7:30 @So they were seeking to seize Him; and no man laid his hand on Him, because His hour had not yet come.

nasb@John:7:31 @But many of the crowd believed in Him; and they were saying, " When the Christ comes, He will not perform more signs than those which this man has, will He?"

nasb@John:7:32 @The Pharisees heard the crowd muttering these things about Him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to seize Him.

nasb@John:7:35 @The Jews then said to one another, " Where does this man intend to go that we will not find Him? He is not intending to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks, is He?

nasb@John:7:36" @What is this statement that He said, ' You will seek Me, and will not find Me; and where I am, you cannot come'?"

nasb@John:7:37 @Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, " If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink.

nasb@John:7:38" @He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, 'From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.'"

nasb@John:7:39 @But this He spoke of the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were to receive; for the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

nasb@John:7:40 @Some of the people therefore, when they heard these words, were saying, "This certainly is the Prophet."

nasb@John:7:41 @Others were saying, "This is the Christ." Still others were saying, " Surely the Christ is not going to come from Galilee, is He?

nasb@John:7:42" @Has not the Scripture said that the Christ comes from the descendants of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?"

nasb@John:7:43 @So a division occurred in the crowd because of Him.

nasb@John:7:45 @The officers then came to the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, "Why did you not bring Him?"

nasb@John:7:46 @The officers answered, " Never has a man spoken the way this man speaks."

nasb@John:7:47 @The Pharisees then answered them, " You have not also been led astray, have you?

nasb@John:7:48" @ No one of the rulers or Pharisees has believed in Him, has he?

nasb@John:7:49" @But this crowd which does not know the Law is accursed."

nasb@John:7:51" @ Our Law does not judge a man unless it first hears from him and knows what he is doing, does it?"

nasb@John:7:52 @They answered him, " You are not also from Galilee, are you? Search, and see that no prophet arises out of Galilee."

nasb@John:7:53 @[ Everyone went to his home.

nasb@John:8:3 @The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman caught in adultery, and having set her in the center of the court,

nasb@John:8:4 @they said to Him, "Teacher, this woman has been caught in adultery, in the very act.

nasb@John:8:6 @They were saying this, testing Him, so that they might have grounds for accusing Him. But Jesus stooped down and with His finger wrote on the ground.

nasb@John:8:7 @But when they persisted in asking Him, He straightened up, and said to them, " He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone at her."

nasb@John:8:13 @So the Pharisees said to Him, " You are testifying about Yourself; Your testimony is not true."

nasb@John:8:14 @Jesus answered and said to them, " Even if I testify about Myself, My testimony is true, for I know where I came from and where I am going; but you do not know where I come from or where I am going.

nasb@John:8:16" @But even if I do judge, My judgment is true; for I am not alone in it, but I and the Father who sent Me.

nasb@John:8:17" @Even in your law it has been written that the testimony of two men is true.

nasb@John:8:19 @So they were saying to Him, "Where is Your Father?" Jesus answered, "You know neither Me nor My Father; if you knew Me, you would know My Father also."

nasb@John:8:20 @These words He spoke in the treasury, as He taught in the temple; and no one seized Him, because His hour had not yet come.

nasb@John:8:23 @And He was saying to them, " You are from below, I am from above; you are of this world, I am not of this world.

nasb@John:8:26" @I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you, but He who sent Me is true; and the things which I heard from Him, these I speak to the world."

nasb@John:8:29" @And He who sent Me is with Me; He has not left Me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to Him."

nasb@John:8:31 @So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, " If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine;

nasb@John:8:33 @They answered Him, " We are Abraham's descendants and have never yet been enslaved to anyone; how is it that You say, 'You will become free'?"

nasb@John:8:34 @Jesus answered them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin.

nasb@John:8:39 @They answered and said to Him, "Abraham is our father." Jesus said to them, " If you are Abraham's children, do the deeds of Abraham.

nasb@John:8:40" @But as it is, you are seeking to kill Me, a man who has told you the truth, which I heard from God; this Abraham did not do.

nasb@John:8:43" @Why do you not understand what I am saying? It is because you cannot hear My word.

nasb@John:8:44" @ You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

nasb@John:8:47" @ He who is of God hears the words of God; for this reason you do not hear them, because you are not of God."

nasb@John:8:49 @Jesus answered, "I do not have a demon; but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me.

nasb@John:8:50" @But I do not seek My glory; there is One who seeks and judges.

nasb@John:8:54 @Jesus answered, " If I glorify Myself, My glory is nothing; it is My Father who glorifies Me, of whom you say, 'He is our God';

nasb@John:8:55 @and you have not come to know Him, but I know Him; and if I say that I do not know Him, I will be a liar like you, but I do know Him and keep His word.

nasb@John:9:2 @And His disciples asked Him, " Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he would be born blind?"

nasb@John:9:3 @Jesus answered, "It was neither that this man sinned, nor his parents; but it was so that the works of God might be displayed in him.

nasb@John:9:4" @We must work the works of Him who sent Me as long as it is day; night is coming when no one can work.

nasb@John:9:6 @When He had said this, He spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and applied the clay to his eyes,

nasb@John:9:7 @and said to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam" (which is translated, Sent). So he went away and washed, and came back seeing.

nasb@John:9:8 @Therefore the neighbors, and those who previously saw him as a beggar, were saying, "Is not this the one who used to sit and beg?"

nasb@John:9:9 @Others were saying, "This is he," still others were saying, "No, but he is like him." He kept saying, "I am the one."

nasb@John:9:11 @He answered, "The man who is called Jesus made clay, and anointed my eyes, and said to me, 'Go to Siloam and wash'; so I went away and washed, and I received sight."

nasb@John:9:12 @They said to him, "Where is He?" He said, "I do not know."

nasb@John:9:13 @They brought to the Pharisees the man who was formerly blind.

nasb@John:9:14 @Now it was a Sabbath on the day when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes.

nasb@John:9:15 @Then the Pharisees also were asking him again how he received his sight. And he said to them, "He applied clay to my eyes, and I washed, and I see."

nasb@John:9:16 @Therefore some of the Pharisees were saying, "This man is not from God, because He does not keep the Sabbath." But others were saying, "How can a man who is a sinner perform such signs?" And there was a division among them.

nasb@John:9:17 @So they said to the blind man again, "What do you say about Him, since He opened your eyes?" And he said, "He is a prophet."

nasb@John:9:18 @The Jews then did not believe it of him, that he had been blind and had received sight, until they called the parents of the very one who had received his sight,

nasb@John:9:19 @and questioned them, saying, "Is this your son, who you say was born blind? Then how does he now see?"

nasb@John:9:20 @His parents answered them and said, "We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;

nasb@John:9:21 @but how he now sees, we do not know; or who opened his eyes, we do not know. Ask him; he is of age, he will speak for himself."

nasb@John:9:22 @His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed that if anyone confessed Him to be Christ, he was to be put out of the synagogue.

nasb@John:9:23 @For this reason his parents said, " He is of age; ask him."

nasb@John:9:24 @So a second time they called the man who had been blind, and said to him, " Give glory to God; we know that this man is a sinner."

nasb@John:9:25 @He then answered, "Whether He is a sinner, I do not know; one thing I do know, that though I was blind, now I see."

nasb@John:9:27 @He answered them, " I told you already and you did not listen; why do you want to hear it again? You do not want to become His disciples too, do you?"

nasb@John:9:28 @They reviled him and said, "You are His disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.

nasb@John:9:29" @We know that God has spoken to Moses, but as for this man, we do not know where He is from."

nasb@John:9:30 @The man answered and said to them, "Well, here is an amazing thing, that you do not know where He is from, and yet He opened my eyes.

nasb@John:9:31" @We know that God does not hear sinners; but if anyone is God-fearing and does His will, He hears him.

nasb@John:9:33" @ If this man were not from God, He could do nothing."

nasb@John:9:36 @He answered, " Who is He, Lord, that I may believe in Him?"

nasb@John:9:37 @Jesus said to him, "You have both seen Him, and He is the one who is talking with you."

nasb@John:9:39 @And Jesus said, " For judgment I came into this world, so that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may become blind."

nasb@John:9:40 @Those of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these things and said to Him, " We are not blind too, are we?"

nasb@John:9:10" @Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter by the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbs up some other way, he is a thief and a robber.

nasb@John:9:2" @But he who enters by the door is a shepherd of the sheep.

nasb@John:9:3" @To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.

nasb@John:9:4" @When he puts forth all his own, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice.

nasb@John:9:6 @This figure of speech Jesus spoke to them, but they did not understand what those things were which He had been saying to them.

nasb@John:9:11" @ I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.

nasb@John:9:12" @He who is a hired hand, and not a shepherd, who is not the owner of the sheep, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and scatters them.

nasb@John:9:13" @He flees because he is a hired hand and is not concerned about the sheep.

nasb@John:9:16" @I have other sheep, which are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will hear My voice; and they will become one flock with one shepherd.

nasb@John:9:17" @For this reason the Father loves Me, because I lay down My life so that I may take it again.

nasb@John:9:18" @ No one has taken it away from Me, but I lay it down on My own initiative. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This commandment I received from My Father."

nasb@John:9:19 @A division occurred again among the Jews because of these words.

nasb@John:9:20 @Many of them were saying, "He has a demon and is insane. Why do you listen to Him?"

nasb@John:9:24 @The Jews then gathered around Him, and were saying to Him, "How long will You keep us in suspense? If You are the Christ, tell us plainly."

nasb@John:9:28 @and I give eternal life to them, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand.

nasb@John:9:29" @ My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand.

nasb@John:9:38 @but if I do them, though you do not believe Me, believe the works, so that you may know and understand that the Father is in Me, and I in the Father."

nasb@John:9:41 @Many came to Him and were saying, "While John performed no sign, yet everything John said about this man was true."

nasb@John:10:1 @Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.

nasb@John:10:2 @It was the Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.

nasb@John:10:3 @So the sisters sent word to Him, saying, " Lord, behold, he whom You love is sick."

nasb@John:10:4 @But when Jesus heard this, He said, "This sickness is not to end in death, but for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified by it."

nasb@John:10:5 @Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.

nasb@John:10:7 @Then after this He said to the disciples, " Let us go to Judea again."

nasb@John:10:8 @The disciples said to Him, " Rabbi, the Jews were just now seeking to stone You, and are You going there again?"

nasb@John:10:9 @Jesus answered, " Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.

nasb@John:10:10" @But if anyone walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him."

nasb@John:10:11 @This He said, and after that He said to them, "Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I go, so that I may awaken him out of sleep."

nasb@John:10:12 @The disciples then said to Him, "Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover."

nasb@John:10:13 @Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that He was speaking of literal sleep.

nasb@John:10:14 @So Jesus then said to them plainly, "Lazarus is dead,

nasb@John:10:16 @Therefore Thomas, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, "Let us also go, so that we may die with Him."

nasb@John:10:23 @Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise again."

nasb@John:10:24 @Martha said to Him, " I know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day."

nasb@John:10:26 @and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this?"

nasb@John:10:27 @She said to Him, "Yes, Lord; I have believed that You are the Christ, the Son of God, even He who comes into the world."

nasb@John:10:28 @When she had said this, she went away and called Mary her sister, saying secretly, " The Teacher is here and is calling for you."

nasb@John:10:32 @Therefore, when Mary came where Jesus was, she saw Him, and fell at His feet, saying to Him, " Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died."

nasb@John:10:37 @But some of them said, "Could not this man, who opened the eyes of the blind man, have kept this man also from dying?"

nasb@John:10:39 @Jesus said, "Remove the stone." Martha, the sister of the deceased, said to Him, "Lord, by this time there will be a stench, for he has been dead four days."

nasb@John:10:41 @So they removed the stone. Then Jesus raised His eyes, and said, " Father, I thank You that You have heard Me.

nasb@John:10:44 @The man who had died came forth, bound hand and foot with wrappings, and his face was wrapped around with a cloth. Jesus said to them, "Unbind him, and let him go."

nasb@John:10:46 @But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them the things which Jesus had done.

nasb@John:10:47 @Therefore the chief priests and the Pharisees convened a council, and were saying, "What are we doing? For this man is performing many signs.

nasb@John:10:48" @If we let Him go on like this, all men will believe in Him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation."

nasb@John:10:50 @nor do you take into account that it is expedient for you that one man die for the people, and that the whole nation not perish."

nasb@John:10:51 @Now he did not say this on his own initiative, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus was going to die for the nation,

nasb@John:10:54 @Therefore Jesus no longer continued to walk publicly among the Jews, but went away from there to the country near the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim; and there He stayed with the disciples.

nasb@John:10:57 @Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone knew where He was, he was to report it, so that they might seize Him.

nasb@John:11:1 @Jesus, therefore, six days before the Passover, came to Bethany where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had raised from the dead.

nasb@John:11:3 @Mary then took a pound of very costly perfume of pure nard, and anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped His feet with her hair; and the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.

nasb@John:11:4 @But Judas Iscariot, one of His disciples, who was intending to betray Him, said,

nasb@John:11:5" @Why was this perfume not sold for three hundred denarii and given to poor people?"

nasb@John:11:6 @Now he said this, not because he was concerned about the poor, but because he was a thief, and as he had the money box, he used to pilfer what was put into it.

nasb@John:11:9 @The large crowd of the Jews then learned that He was there; and they came, not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might also see Lazarus, whom He raised from the dead.

nasb@John:11:13 @took the branches of the palm trees and went out to meet Him, and began to shout, " Hosanna! BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD, even the King of Israel."

nasb@John:11:14 @Jesus, finding a young donkey, sat on it; as it is written,

nasb@John:11:15" @ FEAR NOT, DAUGHTER OF ZION; BEHOLD, YOUR KING IS COMING, SEATED ON A DONKEY'S COLT."

nasb@John:11:16 @These things His disciples did not understand at the first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written of Him, and that they had done these things to Him.

nasb@John:11:17 @So the people, who were with Him when He called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead, continued to testify about Him.

nasb@John:11:18 @For this reason also the people went and met Him, because they heard that He had performed this sign.

nasb@John:11:19 @So the Pharisees said to one another, "You see that you are not doing any good; look, the world has gone after Him."

nasb@John:11:21 @these then came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and began to ask him, saying, "Sir, we wish to see Jesus."

nasb@John:11:25" @ He who loves his life loses it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it to life eternal.

nasb@John:11:27" @ Now My soul has become troubled; and what shall I say, ' Father, save Me from this hour'? But for this purpose I came to this hour.

nasb@John:11:30 @Jesus answered and said, " This voice has not come for My sake, but for your sakes.

nasb@John:11:31" @ Now judgment is upon this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out.

nasb@John:11:33 @But He was saying this to indicate the kind of death by which He was to die.

nasb@John:11:34 @The crowd then answered Him, "We have heard out of the Law that the Christ is to remain forever; and how can You say, 'The Son of Man must be lifted up'? Who is this Son of Man?"

nasb@John:11:35 @So Jesus said to them, " For a little while longer the Light is among you. Walk while you have the Light, so that darkness will not overtake you; he who walks in the darkness does not know where he goes.

nasb@John:11:38 @This was to fulfill the word of Isaiah the prophet which he spoke- " LORD, WHO HAS BELIEVED OUR REPORT? AND TO WHOM HAS THE ARM OF THE LORD BEEN REVEALED?"

nasb@John:11:39 @For this reason they could not believe, for Isaiah said again,

nasb@John:11:41 @These things Isaiah said because he saw His glory, and he spoke of Him.

nasb@John:11:42 @Nevertheless many even of the rulers believed in Him, but because of the Pharisees they were not confessing Him, for fear that they would be put out of the synagogue;

nasb@John:11:48" @ He who rejects Me and does not receive My sayings, has one who judges him; the word I spoke is what will judge him at the last day.

nasb@John:11:50" @I know that His commandment is eternal life; therefore the things I speak, I speak just as the Father has told Me."

nasb@John:12:1 @Now before the Feast of the Passover, Jesus knowing that His hour had come that He would depart out of this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end.

nasb@John:12:2 @During supper, the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, to betray Him,

nasb@John:12:3 @Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come forth from God and was going back to God,

nasb@John:12:4 @got up from supper, and laid aside His garments; and taking a towel, He girded Himself.

nasb@John:12:5 @Then He poured water into the basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded.

nasb@John:12:10 @Jesus said to him, "He who has bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean; and you are clean, but not all of you."

nasb@John:12:11 @For He knew the one who was betraying Him; for this reason He said, "Not all of you are clean."

nasb@John:12:12 @So when He had washed their feet, and taken His garments and reclined at the table again, He said to them, "Do you know what I have done to you?

nasb@John:12:16" @Truly, truly, I say to you, a slave is not greater than his master, nor is one who is sent greater than the one who sent him.

nasb@John:12:18" @ I do not speak of all of you. I know the ones I have chosen; but it is that the Scripture may be fulfilled, ' HE WHO EATS MY BREAD HAS LIFTED UP HIS HEEL AGAINST ME.'

nasb@John:12:21 @When Jesus had said this, He became troubled in spirit, and testified and said, "Truly, truly, I say to you, that one of you will betray Me."

nasb@John:12:22 @The disciples began looking at one another, at a loss to know of which one He was speaking.

nasb@John:12:23 @There was reclining on Jesus' bosom one of His disciples, whom Jesus loved.

nasb@John:12:24 @So Simon Peter gestured to him, and said to him, "Tell us who it is of whom He is speaking."

nasb@John:12:25 @He, leaning back thus on Jesus' bosom, said to Him, "Lord, who is it?"

nasb@John:12:26 @Jesus then answered, "That is the one for whom I shall dip the morsel and give it to him." So when He had dipped the morsel, He took and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.

nasb@John:12:28 @Now no one of those reclining at the table knew for what purpose He had said this to him.

nasb@John:12:31 @Therefore when he had gone out, Jesus said, "Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in Him;

nasb@John:12:32 @if God is glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself, and will glorify Him immediately.

nasb@John:12:35" @ By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another."

nasb@John:12:8 @Philip said to Him, "Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us."

nasb@John:12:10" @Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on My own initiative, but the Father abiding in Me does His works.

nasb@John:12:11" @Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me; otherwise believe because of the works themselves.

nasb@John:12:17 @that is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you and will be in you.

nasb@John:12:21" @ He who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will disclose Myself to him."

nasb@John:12:22 @Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, "Lord, what then has happened that You are going to disclose Yourself to us and not to the world?"

nasb@John:12:24" @He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father's who sent Me.

nasb@John:12:28" @ You heard that I said to you, 'I go away, and I will come to you.' If you loved Me, you would have rejoiced because I go to the Father, for the Father is greater than I.

nasb@John:12:30" @I will not speak much more with you, for the ruler of the world is coming, and he has nothing in Me;

nasb@John:12:15" @ I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser.

nasb@John:12:6" @If anyone does not abide in Me, he is thrown away as a branch and dries up; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire and they are burned.

nasb@John:12:7" @If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.

nasb@John:12:8" @My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be My disciples.

nasb@John:12:10" @ If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love; just as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love.

nasb@John:12:12" @This is My commandment, that you love one another, just as I have loved you.

nasb@John:12:13" @ Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends.

nasb@John:12:15" @No longer do I call you slaves, for the slave does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I have heard from My Father I have made known to you.

nasb@John:12:17" @This I command you, that you love one another.

nasb@John:12:19" @If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, because of this the world hates you.

nasb@John:12:20" @Remember the word that I said to you, ' A slave is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you; if they kept My word, they will keep yours also.

nasb@John:12:25" @But they have done this to fulfill the word that is written in their Law, ' THEY HATED ME WITHOUT A CAUSE.'

nasb@John:12:26" @When the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, that is the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify about Me,

nasb@John:12:2" @They will make you outcasts from the synagogue, but an hour is coming for everyone who kills you to think that he is offering service to God.

nasb@John:12:7" @But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you.

nasb@John:12:11 @and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.

nasb@John:12:13" @But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come.

nasb@John:12:14" @He will glorify Me, for He will take of Mine and will disclose it to you.

nasb@John:12:15" @ All things that the Father has are Mine; therefore I said that He takes of Mine and will disclose it to you.

nasb@John:12:17 @Some of His disciples then said to one another, "What is this thing He is telling us, ' A little while, and you will not see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me'; and, 'because I go to the Father'?"

nasb@John:12:18 @So they were saying, "What is this that He says, 'A little while'? We do not know what He is talking about."

nasb@John:12:19 @Jesus knew that they wished to question Him, and He said to them, "Are you deliberating together about this, that I said, 'A little while, and you will not see Me, and again a little while, and you will see Me'?

nasb@John:12:21" @ Whenever a woman is in labor she has pain, because her hour has come; but when she gives birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish because of the joy that a child has been born into the world.

nasb@John:12:25" @These things I have spoken to you in figurative language; an hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figurative language, but will tell you plainly of the Father.

nasb@John:12:29 @His disciples said, "Lo, now You are speaking plainly and are not using a figure of speech.

nasb@John:12:30" @Now we know that You know all things, and have no need for anyone to question You; by this we believe that You came from God."

nasb@John:12:32" @Behold, an hour is coming, and has already come, for you to be scattered, each to his own home, and to leave Me alone; and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me.

nasb@John:13:1 @Jesus spoke these things; and lifting up His eyes to heaven, He said, "Father, the hour has come; glorify Your Son, that the Son may glorify You,

nasb@John:13:3" @This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.

nasb@John:13:4" @ I glorified You on the earth, having accomplished the work which You have given Me to do.

nasb@John:13:7" @Now they have come to know that everything You have given Me is from You;

nasb@John:13:12" @While I was with them, I was keeping them in Your name which You have given Me; and I guarded them and not one of them perished but the son of perdition, so that the Scripture would be fulfilled.

nasb@John:13:17" @ Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth.

nasb@John:14:1 @When Jesus had spoken these words, He went forth with His disciples over the ravine of the Kidron, where there was a garden, in which He entered with His disciples.

nasb@John:14:2 @Now Judas also, who was betraying Him, knew the place, for Jesus had often met there with His disciples.

nasb@John:14:3 @Judas then, having received the Roman cohort and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, came there with lanterns and torches and weapons.

nasb@John:14:10 @Simon Peter then, having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest's slave, and cut off his right ear; and the slave's name was Malchus.

nasb@John:14:14 @Now Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jews that it was expedient for one man to die on behalf of the people.

nasb@John:14:15 @Simon Peter was following Jesus, and so was another disciple. Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and entered with Jesus into the court of the high priest,

nasb@John:14:16 @but Peter was standing at the door outside. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the doorkeeper, and brought Peter in.

nasb@John:14:17 @Then the slave-girl who kept the door said to Peter, " You are not also one of this man's disciples, are you?" He said, "I am not."

nasb@John:14:19 @The high priest then questioned Jesus about His disciples, and about His teaching.

nasb@John:14:22 @When He had said this, one of the officers standing nearby struck Jesus, saying, "Is that the way You answer the high priest?"

nasb@John:14:25 @Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. So they said to him, " You are not also one of His disciples, are you?" He denied it, and said, "I am not."

nasb@John:14:29 @Therefore Pilate went out to them and said, "What accusation do you bring against this Man?"

nasb@John:14:30 @They answered and said to him, "If this Man were not an evildoer, we would not have delivered Him to you."

nasb@John:14:34 @Jesus answered, "Are you saying this on your own initiative, or did others tell you about Me?"

nasb@John:14:36 @Jesus answered, " My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, then My servants would be fighting so that I would not be handed over to the Jews; but as it is, My kingdom is not of this realm."

nasb@John:14:37 @Therefore Pilate said to Him, "So You are a king?" Jesus answered, " You say correctly that I am a king. For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice."

nasb@John:14:38 @Pilate said to Him, "What is truth?" And when he had said this, he went out again to the Jews and said to them, " I find no guilt in Him.

nasb@John:14:39" @ But you have a custom that I release someone for you at the Passover; do you wish then that I release for you the King of the Jews?"

nasb@John:14:40 @So they cried out again, saying, " Not this Man, but Barabbas." Now Barabbas was a robber.

nasb@John:15:2 @And the soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on His head, and put a purple robe on Him;

nasb@John:15:8 @Therefore when Pilate heard this statement, he was even more afraid;

nasb@John:15:11 @Jesus answered, " You would have no authority over Me, unless it had been given you from above; for this reason he who delivered Me to you has the greater sin."

nasb@John:15:12 @As a result of this Pilate made efforts to release Him, but the Jews cried out saying, " If you release this Man, you are no friend of Caesar; everyone who makes himself out to be a king opposes Caesar."

nasb@John:15:17 @They took Jesus, therefore, and He went out, bearing His own cross, to the place called the Place of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha.

nasb@John:15:20 @Therefore many of the Jews read this inscription, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, Latin and in Greek.

nasb@John:15:23 @Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took His outer garments and made four parts, a part to every soldier and also the tunic; now the tunic was seamless, woven in one piece.

nasb@John:15:24 @So they said to one another, " Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it, to decide whose it shall be"; this was to fulfill the Scripture- "THEY DIVIDED MY OUTER GARMENTS AMONG THEM, AND FOR MY CLOTHING THEY CAST LOTS."

nasb@John:15:25 @Therefore the soldiers did these things. But standing by the cross of Jesus were His mother, and His mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.

nasb@John:15:26 @When Jesus then saw His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing nearby, He said to His mother, " Woman, behold, your son!"

nasb@John:15:27 @Then He said to the disciple, "Behold, your mother!" From that hour the disciple took her into his own household.

nasb@John:15:28 @After this, Jesus, knowing that all things had already been accomplished, to fulfill the Scripture, said, " I am thirsty."

nasb@John:15:29 @A jar full of sour wine was standing there; so they put a sponge full of the sour wine upon a branch of hyssop and brought it up to His mouth.

nasb@John:15:30 @Therefore when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, " It is finished!" And He bowed His head and gave up His spirit.

nasb@John:15:33 @but coming to Jesus, when they saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs.

nasb@John:15:34 @But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.

nasb@John:15:35 @And he who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true; and he knows that he is telling the truth, so that you also may believe.

nasb@John:15:38 @After these things Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but a secret one for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate granted permission. So he came and took away His body.

nasb@John:15:40 @So they took the body of Jesus and bound it in linen wrappings with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews.

nasb@John:15:42 @Therefore because of the Jewish day of preparation, since the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there.

nasb@John:16:2 @So she ran and came to Simon Peter and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and said to them, " They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid Him."

nasb@John:16:3 @So Peter and the other disciple went forth, and they were going to the tomb.

nasb@John:16:4 @The two were running together; and the other disciple ran ahead faster than Peter and came to the tomb first;

nasb@John:16:7 @and the face-cloth which had been on His head, not lying with the linen wrappings, but rolled up in a place by itself.

nasb@John:16:8 @So the other disciple who had first come to the tomb then also entered, and he saw and believed.

nasb@John:16:9 @For as yet they did not understand the Scripture, that He must rise again from the dead.

nasb@John:16:10 @So the disciples went away again to their own homes.

nasb@John:16:14 @When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, and did not know that it was Jesus.

nasb@John:16:18 @Mary Magdalene came, announcing to the disciples, "I have seen the Lord," and that He had said these things to her.

nasb@John:16:19 @So when it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and when the doors were shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst and said to them, " Peace be with you."

nasb@John:16:20 @And when He had said this, He showed them both His hands and His side. The disciples then rejoiced when they saw the Lord.

nasb@John:16:22 @And when He had said this, He breathed on them and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit.

nasb@John:16:25 @So the other disciples were saying to him, "We have seen the Lord!" But he said to them, "Unless I see in His hands the imprint of the nails, and put my finger into the place of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe."

nasb@John:16:26 @After eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors having been shut, and stood in their midst and said, " Peace be with you."

nasb@John:16:30 @Therefore many other signs Jesus also performed in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book;

nasb@John:16:31 @but these have been written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you may have life in His name.

nasb@John:17:1 @After these things Jesus manifested Himself again to the disciples at the Sea of Tiberias, and He manifested Himself in this way.

nasb@John:17:2 @Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of His disciples were together.

nasb@John:17:3 @Simon Peter said to them, "I am going fishing." They said to him, "We will also come with you." They went out and got into the boat; and that night they caught nothing.

nasb@John:17:4 @But when the day was now breaking, Jesus stood on the beach; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.

nasb@John:17:5 @So Jesus said to them, "Children, you do not have any fish, do you?" They answered Him, "No."

nasb@John:17:6 @And He said to them, " Cast the net on the right-hand side of the boat and you will find a catch." So they cast, and then they were not able to haul it in because of the great number of fish.

nasb@John:17:7 @Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It is the Lord." So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put his outer garment on (for he was stripped for work), and threw himself into the sea.

nasb@John:17:8 @But the other disciples came in the little boat, for they were not far from the land, but about one hundred yards away, dragging the net full of fish.

nasb@John:17:9 @So when they got out on the land, they saw a charcoal fire already laid and fish placed on it, and bread.

nasb@John:17:10 @Jesus said to them, "Bring some of the fish which you have now caught."

nasb@John:17:11 @Simon Peter went up and drew the net to land, full of large fish, a hundred and fifty-three; and although there were so many, the net was not torn.

nasb@John:17:12 @Jesus said to them, "Come and have breakfast." None of the disciples ventured to question Him, "Who are You?" knowing that it was the Lord.

nasb@John:17:13 @Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and the fish likewise.

nasb@John:17:14 @This is now the third time that Jesus was manifested to the disciples, after He was raised from the dead.

nasb@John:17:15 @So when they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love Me more than these?" He said to Him, "Yes, Lord; You know that I love You." He said to him, "Tend My lambs."

nasb@John:17:18" @Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were younger, you used to gird yourself and walk wherever you wished; but when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands and someone else will gird you, and bring you where you do not wish to go."

nasb@John:17:19 @Now this He said, signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God. And when He had spoken this, He said to him, " Follow Me!"

nasb@John:17:20 @Peter, turning around, saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following them; the one who also had leaned back on His bosom at the supper and said, "Lord, who is the one who betrays You?"

nasb@John:17:21 @So Peter seeing him said to Jesus, "Lord, and what about this man?"

nasb@John:17:22 @Jesus said to him, "If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow Me!"

nasb@John:17:23 @Therefore this saying went out among the brethren that that disciple would not die; yet Jesus did not say to him that he would not die, but only, "If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you?"

nasb@John:17:24 @This is the disciple who is testifying to these things and wrote these things, and we know that his testimony is true.

nasb@Acts:1:3 @To these He also presented Himself alive after His suffering, by many convincing proofs, appearing to them over a period of forty days and speaking of the things concerning the kingdom of God.

nasb@Acts:1:4 @Gathering them together, He commanded them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for what the Father had promised, "Which," He said, "you heard of from Me;

nasb@Acts:1:6 @So when they had come together, they were asking Him, saying, "Lord, is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel?"

nasb@Acts:1:7 @He said to them, "It is not for you to know times or epochs which the Father has fixed by His own authority;

nasb@Acts:1:11 @They also said, " Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in just the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven."

nasb@Acts:1:12 @Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey away.

nasb@Acts:1:13 @When they had entered the city, they went up to the upper room where they were staying; that is, Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James.

nasb@Acts:1:14 @These all with one mind were continually devoting themselves to prayer, along with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers.

nasb@Acts:1:15 @At this time Peter stood up in the midst of the brethren (a gathering of about one hundred and twenty persons was there together), and said,

nasb@Acts:1:17" @For he was counted among us and received his share in this ministry."

nasb@Acts:1:18 @(Now this man acquired a field with the price of his wickedness, and falling headlong, he burst open in the middle and all his intestines gushed out.

nasb@Acts:1:19 @And it became known to all who were living in Jerusalem; so that in their own language that field was called Hakeldama, that is, Field of Blood.)

nasb@Acts:1:20" @For it is written in the book of Psalms, ' LET HIS HOMESTEAD BE MADE DESOLATE, AND LET NO ONE DWELL IN IT'; and, ' LET ANOTHER MAN TAKE HIS OFFICE.'

nasb@Acts:1:21" @Therefore it is necessary that of the men who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us--

nasb@Acts:1:22 @beginning with the baptism of John until the day that He was taken up from us--one of these must become a witness with us of His resurrection."

nasb@Acts:1:25 @to occupy this ministry and apostleship from which Judas turned aside to go to his own place."

nasb@Acts:2:2 @And suddenly there came from heaven a noise like a violent rushing wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.

nasb@Acts:2:3 @And there appeared to them tongues as of fire distributing themselves, and they rested on each one of them.

nasb@Acts:2:6 @And when this sound occurred, the crowd came together, and were bewildered because each one of them was hearing them speak in his own language.

nasb@Acts:2:7 @They were amazed and astonished, saying, "Why, are not all these who are speaking Galileans?

nasb@Acts:2:8" @And how is it that we each hear them in our own language to which we were born?

nasb@Acts:2:10 @Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the districts of Libya around Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes,

nasb@Acts:2:12 @And they all continued in amazement and great perplexity, saying to one another, "What does this mean?"

nasb@Acts:2:14 @But Peter, taking his stand with the eleven, raised his voice and declared to them- "Men of Judea and all you who live in Jerusalem, let this be known to you and give heed to my words.

nasb@Acts:2:15" @For these men are not drunk, as you suppose, for it is only the third hour of the day;

nasb@Acts:2:16 @but this is what was spoken of through the prophet Joel-

nasb@Acts:2:17 @' AND IT SHALL BE IN THE LAST DAYS,' God says, 'THAT I WILL POUR FORTH OF MY SPIRIT ON ALL MANKIND; AND YOUR SONS AND YOUR DAUGHTERS SHALL PROPHESY, AND YOUR YOUNG MEN SHALL SEE VISIONS, AND YOUR OLD MEN SHALL DREAM DREAMS;

nasb@Acts:2:22" @Men of Israel, listen to these words- Jesus the Nazarene, a man attested to you by God with miracles and wonders and signs which God performed through Him in your midst, just as you yourselves know--

nasb@Acts:2:23 @this Man, delivered over by the predetermined plan and foreknowledge of God, you nailed to a cross by the hands of godless men and put Him to death.

nasb@Acts:2:24" @But God raised Him up again, putting an end to the agony of death, since it was impossible for Him to be held in its power.

nasb@Acts:2:25" @For David says of Him, ' I SAW THE LORD ALWAYS IN MY PRESENCE; FOR HE IS AT MY RIGHT HAND, SO THAT I WILL NOT BE SHAKEN.

nasb@Acts:2:29" @Brethren, I may confidently say to you regarding the patriarch David that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.

nasb@Acts:2:30" @And so, because he was a prophet and knew that GOD HAD SWORN TO HIM WITH AN OATH TO SEAT one OF HIS DESCENDANTS ON HIS THRONE,

nasb@Acts:2:31 @he looked ahead and spoke of the resurrection of the Christ, that HE WAS NEITHER ABANDONED TO HADES, NOR DID His flesh SUFFER DECAY.

nasb@Acts:2:32" @This Jesus God raised up again, to which we are all witnesses.

nasb@Acts:2:33" @Therefore having been exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He has poured forth this which you both see and hear.

nasb@Acts:2:36" @Therefore let all the house of Israel know for certain that God has made Him both Lord and Christ--this Jesus whom you crucified."

nasb@Acts:2:37 @Now when they heard this, they were pierced to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, "Brethren, what shall we do?"

nasb@Acts:2:38 @Peter said to them, " Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

nasb@Acts:2:39" @For the promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off, as many as the Lord our God will call to Himself."

nasb@Acts:2:40 @And with many other words he solemnly testified and kept on exhorting them, saying, "Be saved from this perverse generation!"

nasb@Acts:2:41 @So then, those who had received his word were baptized; and that day there were added about three thousand souls.

nasb@Acts:2:47 @praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord was adding to their number day by day those who were being saved.

nasb@Acts:3:2 @And a man who had been lame from his mother's womb was being carried along, whom they used to set down every day at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, in order to beg alms of those who were entering the temple.

nasb@Acts:3:4 @But Peter, along with John, fixed his gaze on him and said, "Look at us!"

nasb@Acts:3:5 @And he began to give them his attention, expecting to receive something from them.

nasb@Acts:3:6 @But Peter said, "I do not possess silver and gold, but what I do have I give to you- In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene--walk!"

nasb@Acts:3:7 @And seizing him by the right hand, he raised him up; and immediately his feet and his ankles were strengthened.

nasb@Acts:3:8 @With a leap he stood upright and began to walk; and he entered the temple with them, walking and leaping and praising God.

nasb@Acts:3:9 @And all the people saw him walking and praising God;

nasb@Acts:3:12 @But when Peter saw this, he replied to the people, "Men of Israel, why are you amazed at this, or why do you gaze at us, as if by our own power or piety we had made him walk?

nasb@Acts:3:13" @ The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified His servant Jesus, the one whom you delivered and disowned in the presence of Pilate, when he had decided to release Him.

nasb@Acts:3:14" @But you disowned the Holy and Righteous One and asked for a murderer to be granted to you,

nasb@Acts:3:15 @but put to death the Prince of life, the one whom God raised from the dead, a fact to which we are witnesses.

nasb@Acts:3:16" @And on the basis of faith in His name, it is the name of Jesus which has strengthened this man whom you see and know; and the faith which comes through Him has given him this perfect health in the presence of you all.

nasb@Acts:3:18" @But the things which God announced beforehand by the mouth of all the prophets, that His Christ would suffer, He has thus fulfilled.

nasb@Acts:3:20 @and that He may send Jesus, the Christ appointed for you,

nasb@Acts:3:21 @whom heaven must receive until the period of restoration of all things about which God spoke by the mouth of His holy prophets from ancient time.

nasb@Acts:3:22" @Moses said, ' THE LORD GOD WILL RAISE UP FOR YOU A PROPHET LIKE ME FROM YOUR BRETHREN; TO HIM YOU SHALL GIVE HEED to everything He says to you.

nasb@Acts:3:24" @And likewise, all the prophets who have spoken, from Samuel and his successors onward, also announced these days.

nasb@Acts:3:25" @It is you who are the sons of the prophets and of the covenant which God made with your fathers, saying to Abraham, ' AND IN YOUR SEED ALL THE FAMILIES OF THE EARTH SHALL BE BLESSED.'

nasb@Acts:4:2 @being greatly disturbed because they were teaching the people and proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.

nasb@Acts:4:7 @When they had placed them in the center, they began to inquire, "By what power, or in what name, have you done this?"

nasb@Acts:4:9 @if we are on trial today for a benefit done to a sick man, as to how this man has been made well,

nasb@Acts:4:10 @let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead--by this name this man stands here before you in good health.

nasb@Acts:4:11" @ He is the STONE WHICH WAS REJECTED by you, THE BUILDERS, but WHICH BECAME THE CHIEF CORNER stone.

nasb@Acts:4:12" @And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved."

nasb@Acts:4:16 @saying, " What shall we do with these men? For the fact that a noteworthy miracle has taken place through them is apparent to all who live in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it.

nasb@Acts:4:17" @But so that it will not spread any further among the people, let us warn them to speak no longer to any man in this name."

nasb@Acts:4:19 @But Peter and John answered and said to them, " Whether it is right in the sight of God to give heed to you rather than to God, you be the judge;

nasb@Acts:4:21 @When they had threatened them further, they let them go (finding no basis on which to punish them) on account of the people, because they were all glorifying God for what had happened;

nasb@Acts:4:22 @for the man was more than forty years old on whom this miracle of healing had been performed.

nasb@Acts:4:24 @And when they heard this, they lifted their voices to God with one accord and said, "O Lord, it is You who MADE THE HEAVEN AND THE EARTH AND THE SEA, AND ALL THAT IS IN THEM,

nasb@Acts:4:25 @who by the Holy Spirit, through the mouth of our father David Your servant, said, ' WHY DID THE GENTILES RAGE, AND THE PEOPLES DEVISE FUTILE THINGS?

nasb@Acts:4:26 @' THE KINGS OF THE EARTH TOOK THEIR STAND, AND THE RULERS WERE GATHERED TOGETHER AGAINST THE LORD AND AGAINST HIS CHRIST.'

nasb@Acts:4:27" @For truly in this city there were gathered together against Your holy servant Jesus, whom You anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, along with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel,

nasb@Acts:4:32 @And the congregation of those who believed were of one heart and soul; and not one of them claimed that anything belonging to him was his own, but all things were common property to them.

nasb@Acts:4:35 @and lay them at the apostles' feet, and they would be distributed to each as any had need.

nasb@Acts:5:1 @But a man named Ananias, with his wife Sapphira, sold a piece of property,

nasb@Acts:5:2 @and kept back some of the price for himself, with his wife's full knowledge, and bringing a portion of it, he laid it at the apostles' feet.

nasb@Acts:5:4" @While it remained unsold, did it not remain your own? And after it was sold, was it not under your control? Why is it that you have conceived this deed in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God."

nasb@Acts:5:5 @And as he heard these words, Ananias fell down and breathed his last; and great fear came over all who heard of it.

nasb@Acts:5:7 @Now there elapsed an interval of about three hours, and his wife came in, not knowing what had happened.

nasb@Acts:5:9 @Then Peter said to her, "Why is it that you have agreed together to put the Spirit of the Lord to the test? Behold, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out as well."

nasb@Acts:5:10 @And immediately she fell at his feet and breathed her last, and the young men came in and found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her beside her husband.

nasb@Acts:5:15 @to such an extent that they even carried the sick out into the streets and laid them on cots and pallets, so that when Peter came by at least his shadow might fall on any one of them.

nasb@Acts:5:17 @But the high priest rose up, along with all his associates (that is the sect of the Sadducees), and they were filled with jealousy.

nasb@Acts:5:19 @But during the night an angel of the Lord opened the gates of the prison, and taking them out he said,

nasb@Acts:5:20" @Go, stand and speak to the people in the temple the whole message of this Life."

nasb@Acts:5:21 @Upon hearing this, they entered into the temple about daybreak and began to teach. Now when the high priest and his associates came, they called the Council together, even all the Senate of the sons of Israel, and sent orders to the prison house for them to be brought.

nasb@Acts:5:22 @But the officers who came did not find them in the prison; and they returned and reported back,

nasb@Acts:5:23 @saying, "We found the prison house locked quite securely and the guards standing at the doors; but when we had opened up, we found no one inside."

nasb@Acts:5:24 @Now when the captain of the temple guard and the chief priests heard these words, they were greatly perplexed about them as to what would come of this.

nasb@Acts:5:25 @But someone came and reported to them, "The men whom you put in prison are standing in the temple and teaching the people!"

nasb@Acts:5:28 @saying, "We gave you strict orders not to continue teaching in this name, and yet, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and intend to bring this man's blood upon us."

nasb@Acts:5:30" @ The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you had put to death by hanging Him on a cross.

nasb@Acts:5:31" @ He is the one whom God exalted to His right hand as a Prince and a Savior, to grant repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.

nasb@Acts:5:32" @And we are witnesses of these things; and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey Him."

nasb@Acts:5:33 @But when they heard this, they were cut to the quick and intended to kill them.

nasb@Acts:5:34 @But a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the Law, respected by all the people, stood up in the Council and gave orders to put the men outside for a short time.

nasb@Acts:5:35 @And he said to them, "Men of Israel, take care what you propose to do with these men.

nasb@Acts:5:36" @For some time ago Theudas rose up, claiming to be somebody, and a group of about four hundred men joined up with him. But he was killed, and all who followed him were dispersed and came to nothing.

nasb@Acts:5:37" @After this man, Judas of Galilee rose up in the days of the census and drew away some people after him; he too perished, and all those who followed him were scattered.

nasb@Acts:5:38" @So in the present case, I say to you, stay away from these men and let them alone, for if this plan or action is of men, it will be overthrown;

nasb@Acts:5:39 @but if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow them; or else you may even be found fighting against God."

nasb@Acts:5:40 @They took his advice; and after calling the apostles in, they flogged them and ordered them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and then released them.

nasb@Acts:5:41 @So they went on their way from the presence of the Council, rejoicing that they had been considered worthy to suffer shame for His name.

nasb@Acts:5:42 @And every day, in the temple and from house to house, they kept right on teaching and preaching Jesus as the Christ.

nasb@Acts:6:1 @Now at this time while the disciples were increasing in number, a complaint arose on the part of the Hellenistic Jews against the native Hebrews, because their widows were being overlooked in the daily serving of food.

nasb@Acts:6:2 @So the twelve summoned the congregation of the disciples and said, "It is not desirable for us to neglect the word of God in order to serve tables.

nasb@Acts:6:3" @Therefore, brethren, select from among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we may put in charge of this task.

nasb@Acts:6:4" @But we will devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word."

nasb@Acts:6:7 @The word of God kept on spreading; and the number of the disciples continued to increase greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests were becoming obedient to the faith.

nasb@Acts:6:10 @But they were unable to cope with the wisdom and the Spirit with which he was speaking.

nasb@Acts:6:13 @They put forward false witnesses who said, "This man incessantly speaks against this holy place and the Law;

nasb@Acts:6:14 @for we have heard him say that this Nazarene, Jesus, will destroy this place and alter the customs which Moses handed down to us."

nasb@Acts:6:15 @And fixing their gaze on him, all who were sitting in the Council saw his face like the face of an angel.

nasb@Acts:7:4" @ Then he left the land of the Chaldeans and settled in Haran. From there, after his father died, God had him move to this country in which you are now living.

nasb@Acts:7:5" @But He gave him no inheritance in it, not even a foot of ground, and yet, even when he had no child, He promised that HE WOULD GIVE IT TO HIM AS A POSSESSION, AND TO HIS DESCENDANTS AFTER HIM.

nasb@Acts:7:6" @But God spoke to this effect, that his DESCENDANTS WOULD BE ALIENS IN A FOREIGN LAND, AND THAT THEY WOULD BE ENSLAVED AND MISTREATED FOR FOUR HUNDRED YEARS.

nasb@Acts:7:10 @and rescued him from all his afflictions, and granted him favor and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and he made him governor over Egypt and all his household.

nasb@Acts:8:34 @The eunuch answered Philip and said, "Please tell me, of whom does the prophet say this? Of himself or of someone else?"

nasb@Acts:8:35 @Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this Scripture he preached Jesus to him.

nasb@Acts:8:37 @[ And Philip said, "If you believe with all your heart, you may." And he answered and said, "I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God."]

nasb@Acts:8:39 @When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away; and the eunuch no longer saw him, but went on his way rejoicing.

nasb@Acts:9:1 @Now Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest,

nasb@Acts:9:8 @Saul got up from the ground, and though his eyes were open, he could see nothing; and leading him by the hand, they brought him into Damascus.

nasb@Acts:9:10 @Now there was a disciple at Damascus named Ananias; and the Lord said to him in a vision, "Ananias." And he said, "Here I am, Lord."

nasb@Acts:9:11 @And the Lord said to him, "Get up and go to the street called Straight, and inquire at the house of Judas for a man from Tarsus named Saul, for he is praying,

nasb@Acts:9:12 @and he has seen in a vision a man named Ananias come in and lay his hands on him, so that he might regain his sight."

nasb@Acts:9:13 @But Ananias answered, "Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much harm he did to Your saints at Jerusalem;

nasb@Acts:9:15 @But the Lord said to him, "Go, for he is a chosen instrument of Mine, to bear My name before the Gentiles and kings and the sons of Israel;

nasb@Acts:9:17 @So Ananias departed and entered the house, and after laying his hands on him said, " Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road by which you were coming, has sent me so that you may regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit."

nasb@Acts:9:18 @And immediately there fell from his eyes something like scales, and he regained his sight, and he got up and was baptized;

nasb@Acts:9:20 @and immediately he began to proclaim Jesus in the synagogues, saying, "He is the Son of God."

nasb@Acts:9:21 @All those hearing him continued to be amazed, and were saying, "Is this not he who in Jerusalem destroyed those who called on this name, and who had come here for the purpose of bringing them bound before the chief priests?"

nasb@Acts:9:22 @But Saul kept increasing in strength and confounding the Jews who lived at Damascus by proving that this Jesus is the Christ.

nasb@Acts:9:25 @but his disciples took him by night and let him down through an opening in the wall, lowering him in a large basket.

nasb@Acts:9:26 @When he came to Jerusalem, he was trying to associate with the disciples; but they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.

nasb@Acts:9:29 @And he was talking and arguing with the Hellenistic Jews; but they were attempting to put him to death.

nasb@Acts:9:34 @Peter said to him, "Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you; get up and make your bed." Immediately he got up.

nasb@Acts:9:36 @Now in Joppa there was a disciple named Tabitha (which translated in Greek is called Dorcas); this woman was abounding with deeds of kindness and charity which she continually did.

nasb@Acts:9:38 @Since Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, having heard that Peter was there, sent two men to him, imploring him, "Do not delay in coming to us."

nasb@Acts:9:40 @But Peter sent them all out and knelt down and prayed, and turning to the body, he said, " Tabitha, arise." And she opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter, she sat up.

nasb@Acts:9:41 @And he gave her his hand and raised her up; and calling the saints and widows, he presented her alive.

nasb@Acts:10:2 @a devout man and one who feared God with all his household, and gave many alms to the Jewish people and prayed to God continually.

nasb@Acts:10:3 @About the ninth hour of the day he clearly saw in a vision an angel of God who had just come in and said to him, "Cornelius!"

nasb@Acts:10:4 @And fixing his gaze on him and being much alarmed, he said, "What is it, Lord?" And he said to him, "Your prayers and alms have ascended as a memorial before God.

nasb@Acts:10:5" @Now dispatch some men to Joppa and send for a man named Simon, who is also called Peter;

nasb@Acts:10:6 @he is staying with a tanner named Simon, whose house is by the sea."

nasb@Acts:10:7 @When the angel who was speaking to him had left, he summoned two of his servants and a devout soldier of those who were his personal attendants,

nasb@Acts:10:16 @This happened three times, and immediately the object was taken up into the sky.

nasb@Acts:10:17 @Now while Peter was greatly perplexed in mind as to what the vision which he had seen might be, behold, the men who had been sent by Cornelius, having asked directions for Simon's house, appeared at the gate;

nasb@Acts:10:19 @While Peter was reflecting on the vision, the Spirit said to him, "Behold, three men are looking for you.

nasb@Acts:10:20" @But get up, go downstairs and accompany them without misgivings, for I have sent them Myself."

nasb@Acts:10:21 @Peter went down to the men and said, "Behold, I am the one you are looking for; what is the reason for which you have come?"

nasb@Acts:10:22 @They said, "Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous and God-fearing man well spoken of by the entire nation of the Jews, was divinely directed by a holy angel to send for you to come to his house and hear a message from you."

nasb@Acts:10:24 @On the following day he entered Caesarea. Now Cornelius was waiting for them and had called together his relatives and close friends.

nasb@Acts:10:25 @When Peter entered, Cornelius met him, and fell at his feet and worshiped him.

nasb@Acts:10:26 @But Peter raised him up, saying, " Stand up; I too am just a man."

nasb@Acts:10:28 @And he said to them, "You yourselves know how unlawful it is for a man who is a Jew to associate with a foreigner or to visit him; and yet God has shown me that I should not call any man unholy or unclean.

nasb@Acts:10:29" @That is why I came without even raising any objection when I was sent for. So I ask for what reason you have sent for me."

nasb@Acts:10:30 @Cornelius said, " Four days ago to this hour, I was praying in my house during the ninth hour; and behold, a man stood before me in shining garments,

nasb@Acts:10:32 @'Therefore send to Joppa and invite Simon, who is also called Peter, to come to you; he is staying at the house of Simon the tanner by the sea.'

nasb@Acts:10:34 @Opening his mouth, Peter said- "I most certainly understand now that God is not one to show partiality,

nasb@Acts:10:35 @but in every nation the man who fears Him and does what is right is welcome to Him.

nasb@Acts:10:36" @The word which He sent to the sons of Israel, preaching peace through Jesus Christ (He is Lord of all)--

nasb@Acts:10:37 @you yourselves know the thing which took place throughout all Judea, starting from Galilee, after the baptism which John proclaimed.

nasb@Acts:10:40" @ God raised Him up on the third day and granted that He become visible,

nasb@Acts:10:41 @not to all the people, but to witnesses who were chosen beforehand by God, that is, to us who ate and drank with Him after He arose from the dead.

nasb@Acts:10:42" @And He ordered us to preach to the people, and solemnly to testify that this is the One who has been appointed by God as Judge of the living and the dead.

nasb@Acts:10:43" @Of Him all the prophets bear witness that through His name everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins."

nasb@Acts:10:44 @While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who were listening to the message.

nasb@Acts:10:45 @All the circumcised believers who came with Peter were amazed, because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out on the Gentiles also.

nasb@Acts:10:48 @And he ordered them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay on for a few days.

nasb@Acts:11:2 @And when Peter came up to Jerusalem, those who were circumcised took issue with him,

nasb@Acts:11:3 @saying, " You went to uncircumcised men and ate with them."

nasb@Acts:11:5" @ I was in the city of Joppa praying; and in a trance I saw a vision, an object coming down like a great sheet lowered by four corners from the sky; and it came right down to me,

nasb@Acts:11:10" @This happened three times, and everything was drawn back up into the sky.

nasb@Acts:11:12" @ The Spirit told me to go with them without misgivings. These six brethren also went with me and we entered the man's house.

nasb@Acts:11:13" @And he reported to us how he had seen the angel standing in his house, and saying, 'Send to Joppa and have Simon, who is also called Peter, brought here;

nasb@Acts:11:17" @Therefore if God gave to them the same gift as He gave to us also after believing in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I that I could stand in God's way?"

nasb@Acts:11:18 @When they heard this, they quieted down and glorified God, saying, "Well then, God has granted to the Gentiles also the repentance that leads to life."

nasb@Acts:11:26 @and when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. And for an entire year they met with the church and taught considerable numbers; and the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.

nasb@Acts:11:27 @Now at this time some prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.

nasb@Acts:11:28 @One of them named Agabus stood up and began to indicate by the Spirit that there would certainly be a great famine all over the world. And this took place in the reign of Claudius.

nasb@Acts:11:29 @And in the proportion that any of the disciples had means, each of them determined to send a contribution for the relief of the brethren living in Judea.

nasb@Acts:11:30 @And this they did, sending it in charge of Barnabas and Saul to the elders.

nasb@Acts:12:1 @Now about that time Herod the king laid hands on some who belonged to the church in order to mistreat them.

nasb@Acts:12:4 @When he had seized him, he put him in prison, delivering him to four squads of soldiers to guard him, intending after the Passover to bring him out before the people.

nasb@Acts:12:5 @So Peter was kept in the prison, but prayer for him was being made fervently by the church to God.

nasb@Acts:12:6 @On the very night when Herod was about to bring him forward, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, and guards in front of the door were watching over the prison.

nasb@Acts:12:7 @And behold, an angel of the Lord suddenly appeared and a light shone in the cell; and he struck Peter's side and woke him up, saying, "Get up quickly." And his chains fell off his hands.

nasb@Acts:12:9 @And he went out and continued to follow, and he did not know that what was being done by the angel was real, but thought he was seeing a vision.

nasb@Acts:12:11 @When Peter came to himself, he said, "Now I know for sure that the Lord has sent forth His angel and rescued me from the hand of Herod and from all that the Jewish people were expecting."

nasb@Acts:12:12 @And when he realized this, he went to the house of Mary, the mother of John who was also called Mark, where many were gathered together and were praying.

nasb@Acts:12:15 @They said to her, "You are out of your mind!" But she kept insisting that it was so. They kept saying, "It is his angel."

nasb@Acts:12:17 @But motioning to them with his hand to be silent, he described to them how the Lord had led him out of the prison. And he said, "Report these things to James and the brethren." Then he left and went to another place.

nasb@Acts:12:18 @Now when day came, there was no small disturbance among the soldiers as to what could have become of Peter.

nasb@Acts:12:21 @On an appointed day Herod, having put on his royal apparel, took his seat on the rostrum and began delivering an address to them.

nasb@Acts:12:25 @And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem when they had fulfilled their mission, taking along with them John, who was also called Mark.

nasb@Acts:13:2 @While they were ministering to the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, "Set apart for Me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them."

nasb@Acts:13:5 @When they reached Salamis, they began to proclaim the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews; and they also had John as their helper.

nasb@Acts:13:6 @When they had gone through the whole island as far as Paphos, they found a magician, a Jewish false prophet whose name was Bar-Jesus,

nasb@Acts:13:7 @who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of intelligence. This man summoned Barnabas and Saul and sought to hear the word of God.

nasb@Acts:13:8 @But Elymas the magician (for so his name is translated) was opposing them, seeking to turn the proconsul away from the faith.

nasb@Acts:13:9 @But Saul, who was also known as Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, fixed his gaze on him,

nasb@Acts:13:11" @Now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you will be blind and not see the sun for a time." And immediately a mist and a darkness fell upon him, and he went about seeking those who would lead him by the hand.

nasb@Acts:13:13 @Now Paul and his companions put out to sea from Paphos and came to Perga in Pamphylia; but John left them and returned to Jerusalem.

nasb@Acts:13:14 @But going on from Perga, they arrived at Pisidian Antioch, and on the Sabbath day they went into the synagogue and sat down.

nasb@Acts:13:16 @Paul stood up, and motioning with his hand said, "Men of Israel, and you who fear God, listen-

nasb@Acts:13:17" @The God of this people Israel chose our fathers and made the people great during their stay in the land of Egypt, and with an uplifted arm He led them out from it.

nasb@Acts:13:19" @ When He had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, He distributed their land as an inheritance--all of which took about four hundred and fifty years.

nasb@Acts:13:21" @Then they asked for a king, and God gave them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years.

nasb@Acts:13:23" @ From the descendants of this man, according to promise, God has brought to Israel a Savior, Jesus,

nasb@Acts:13:24 @after John had proclaimed before His coming a baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.

nasb@Acts:13:25" @And while John was completing his course, he kept saying, 'What do you suppose that I am? I am not He. But behold, one is coming after me the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.'

nasb@Acts:13:26" @Brethren, sons of Abraham's family, and those among you who fear God, to us the message of this salvation has been sent.

nasb@Acts:13:30" @But God raised Him from the dead;

nasb@Acts:13:31 @and for many days He appeared to those who came up with Him from Galilee to Jerusalem, the very ones who are now His witnesses to the people.

nasb@Acts:13:32" @And we preach to you the good news of the promise made to the fathers,

nasb@Acts:13:33 @that God has fulfilled this promise to our children in that He raised up Jesus, as it is also written in the second Psalm, ' YOU ARE MY SON; TODAY I HAVE BEGOTTEN YOU.'

nasb@Acts:13:36" @For David, after he had served the purpose of God in his own generation, fell asleep, and was laid among his fathers and underwent decay;

nasb@Acts:13:37 @but He whom God raised did not undergo decay.

nasb@Acts:13:38" @Therefore let it be known to you, brethren, that through Him forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you,

nasb@Acts:13:39 @and through Him everyone who believes is freed from all things, from which you could not be freed through the Law of Moses.

nasb@Acts:13:41 @' BEHOLD, YOU SCOFFERS, AND MARVEL, AND PERISH; FOR I AM ACCOMPLISHING A WORK IN YOUR DAYS, A WORK WHICH YOU WILL NEVER BELIEVE, THOUGH SOMEONE SHOULD DESCRIBE IT TO YOU.'"

nasb@Acts:13:48 @When the Gentiles heard this, they began rejoicing and glorifying the word of the Lord; and as many as had been appointed to eternal life believed.

nasb@Acts:13:50 @But the Jews incited the devout women of prominence and the leading men of the city, and instigated a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and drove them out of their district.

nasb@Acts:13:52 @And the disciples were continually filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.

nasb@Acts:14:2 @But the Jews who disbelieved stirred up the minds of the Gentiles and embittered them against the brethren.

nasb@Acts:14:3 @Therefore they spent a long time there speaking boldly with reliance upon the Lord, who was testifying to the word of His grace, granting that signs and wonders be done by their hands.

nasb@Acts:14:5 @And when an attempt was made by both the Gentiles and the Jews with their rulers, to mistreat and to stone them,

nasb@Acts:14:8 @At Lystra a man was sitting who had no strength in his feet, lame from his mother's womb, who had never walked.

nasb@Acts:14:9 @This man was listening to Paul as he spoke, who, when he had fixed his gaze on him and had seen that he had faith to be made well,

nasb@Acts:14:11 @When the crowds saw what Paul had done, they raised their voice, saying in the Lycaonian language, " The gods have become like men and have come down to us."

nasb@Acts:14:15 @and saying, "Men, why are you doing these things? We are also men of the same nature as you, and preach the gospel to you that you should turn from these vain things to a living God, WHO MADE THE HEAVEN AND THE EARTH AND THE SEA AND ALL THAT IS IN THEM.

nasb@Acts:14:17 @and yet He did not leave Himself without witness, in that He did good and gave you rains from heaven and fruitful seasons, satisfying your hearts with food and gladness."

nasb@Acts:14:20 @But while the disciples stood around him, he got up and entered the city. The next day he went away with Barnabas to Derbe.

nasb@Acts:14:21 @After they had preached the gospel to that city and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra and to Iconium and to Antioch,

nasb@Acts:14:22 @strengthening the souls of the disciples, encouraging them to continue in the faith, and saying, " Through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God."

nasb@Acts:14:24 @They passed through Pisidia and came into Pamphylia.

nasb@Acts:14:26 @From there they sailed to Antioch, from which they had been commended to the grace of God for the work that they had accomplished.

nasb@Acts:14:28 @And they spent a long time with the disciples.

nasb@Acts:15:1 @Some men came down from Judea and began teaching the brethren, "Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved."

nasb@Acts:15:2 @And when Paul and Barnabas had great dissension and debate with them, the brethren determined that Paul and Barnabas and some others of them should go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and elders concerning this issue.

nasb@Acts:15:5 @But some of the sect of the Pharisees who had believed stood up, saying, "It is necessary to circumcise them and to direct them to observe the Law of Moses."

nasb@Acts:15:6 @The apostles and the elders came together to look into this matter.

nasb@Acts:15:9 @and He made no distinction between us and them, cleansing their hearts by faith.

nasb@Acts:15:10" @Now therefore why do you put God to the test by placing upon the neck of the disciples a yoke which neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear?

nasb@Acts:15:12 @All the people kept silent, and they were listening to Barnabas and Paul as they were relating what signs and wonders God had done through them among the Gentiles.

nasb@Acts:15:13 @After they had stopped speaking, James answered, saying, "Brethren, listen to me.

nasb@Acts:15:14" @ Simeon has related how God first concerned Himself about taking from among the Gentiles a people for His name.

nasb@Acts:15:15" @With this the words of the Prophets agree, just as it is written,

nasb@Acts:15:19" @Therefore it is my judgment that we do not trouble those who are turning to God from among the Gentiles,

nasb@Acts:15:20 @but that we write to them that they abstain from things contaminated by idols and from fornication and from what is strangled and from blood.

nasb@Acts:15:21" @For Moses from ancient generations has in every city those who preach him, since he is read in the synagogues every Sabbath."

nasb@Acts:15:23 @and they sent this letter by them, " The apostles and the brethren who are elders, to the brethren in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia who are from the Gentiles, greetings.

nasb@Acts:15:26 @men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

nasb@Acts:15:36 @After some days Paul said to Barnabas, "Let us return and visit the brethren in every city in which we proclaimed the word of the Lord, and see how they are."

nasb@Acts:15:38 @But Paul kept insisting that they should not take him along who had deserted them in Pamphylia and had not gone with them to the work.

nasb@Acts:15:39 @And there occurred such a sharp disagreement that they separated from one another, and Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed away to Cyprus.

nasb@Acts:16:1 @Paul came also to Derbe and to Lystra. And a disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewish woman who was a believer, but his father was a Greek,

nasb@Acts:16:3 @Paul wanted this man to go with him; and he took him and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those parts, for they all knew that his father was a Greek.

nasb@Acts:16:9 @A vision appeared to Paul in the night- a man of Macedonia was standing and appealing to him, and saying, "Come over to Macedonia and help us."

nasb@Acts:16:10 @When he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go into Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them.

nasb@Acts:16:11 @So putting out to sea from Troas, we ran a straight course to Samothrace, and on the day following to Neapolis;

nasb@Acts:16:12 @and from there to Philippi, which is a leading city of the district of Macedonia, a Roman colony; and we were staying in this city for some days.

nasb@Acts:16:14 @A woman named Lydia, from the city of Thyatira, a seller of purple fabrics, a worshiper of God, was listening; and the Lord opened her heart to respond to the things spoken by Paul.

nasb@Acts:16:18 @She continued doing this for many days. But Paul was greatly annoyed, and turned and said to the spirit, "I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her!" And it came out at that very moment.

nasb@Acts:16:20 @and when they had brought them to the chief magistrates, they said, "These men are throwing our city into confusion, being Jews,

nasb@Acts:16:21 @and are proclaiming customs which it is not lawful for us to accept or to observe, being Romans."

nasb@Acts:16:22 @The crowd rose up together against them, and the chief magistrates tore their robes off them and proceeded to order them to be beaten with rods.

nasb@Acts:16:23 @When they had struck them with many blows, they threw them into prison, commanding the jailer to guard them securely;

nasb@Acts:16:24 @and he, having received such a command, threw them into the inner prison and fastened their feet in the stocks.

nasb@Acts:16:25 @But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns of praise to God, and the prisoners were listening to them;

nasb@Acts:16:26 @and suddenly there came a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison house were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone's chains were unfastened.

nasb@Acts:16:27 @When the jailer awoke and saw the prison doors opened, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.

nasb@Acts:16:32 @And they spoke the word of the Lord to him together with all who were in his house.

nasb@Acts:16:33 @And he took them that very hour of the night and washed their wounds, and immediately he was baptized, he and all his household.

nasb@Acts:16:34 @And he brought them into his house and set food before them, and rejoiced greatly, having believed in God with his whole household.

nasb@Acts:16:35 @Now when day came, the chief magistrates sent their policemen, saying, "Release those men."

nasb@Acts:16:36 @And the jailer reported these words to Paul, saying, "The chief magistrates have sent to release you. Therefore come out now and go in peace."

nasb@Acts:16:37 @But Paul said to them, "They have beaten us in public without trial, men who are Romans, and have thrown us into prison; and now are they sending us away secretly? No indeed! But let them come themselves and bring us out."

nasb@Acts:16:38 @The policemen reported these words to the chief magistrates. They were afraid when they heard that they were Romans,

nasb@Acts:16:40 @They went out of the prison and entered the house of Lydia, and when they saw the brethren, they encouraged them and departed.

nasb@Acts:17:16 @Now while Paul was waiting for them at Athens, his spirit was being provoked within him as he was observing the city full of idols.

nasb@Acts:17:18 @And also some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers were conversing with him. Some were saying, "What would this idle babbler wish to say?" Others, "He seems to be a proclaimer of strange deities,"--because he was preaching Jesus and the resurrection.

nasb@Acts:18:18 @Paul, having remained many days longer, took leave of the brethren and put out to sea for Syria, and with him were Priscilla and Aquila. In Cenchrea he had his hair cut, for he was keeping a vow.

nasb@Acts:18:23 @And having spent some time there, he left and passed successively through the Galatian region and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples.

nasb@Acts:18:25 @This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he was speaking and teaching accurately the things concerning Jesus, being acquainted only with the baptism of John;

nasb@Acts:18:26 @and he began to speak out boldly in the synagogue. But when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside and explained to him the way of God more accurately.

nasb@Acts:18:27 @And when he wanted to go across to Achaia, the brethren encouraged him and wrote to the disciples to welcome him; and when he had arrived, he greatly helped those who had believed through grace,

nasb@Acts:18:28 @for he powerfully refuted the Jews in public, demonstrating by the Scriptures that Jesus was the Christ.

nasb@Acts:19:1 @It happened that while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul passed through the upper country and came to Ephesus, and found some disciples.

nasb@Acts:19:2 @He said to them, " Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?" And they said to him, "No, we have not even heard whether there is a Holy Spirit."

nasb@Acts:19:3 @And he said, "Into what then were you baptized?" And they said, " Into John's baptism."

nasb@Acts:19:4 @Paul said, " John baptized with the baptism of repentance, telling the people to believe in Him who was coming after him, that is, in Jesus."

nasb@Acts:19:5 @When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

nasb@Acts:19:6 @And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they began speaking with tongues and prophesying.

nasb@Acts:19:9 @But when some were becoming hardened and disobedient, speaking evil of the Way before the people, he withdrew from them and took away the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of Tyrannus.

nasb@Acts:19:10 @This took place for two years, so that all who lived in Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks.

nasb@Acts:19:12 @so that handkerchiefs or aprons were even carried from his body to the sick, and the diseases left them and the evil spirits went out.

nasb@Acts:19:13 @But also some of the Jewish exorcists, who went from place to place, attempted to name over those who had the evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, "I adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preaches."

nasb@Acts:19:14 @Seven sons of one Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, were doing this.

nasb@Acts:19:17 @This became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, who lived in Ephesus; and fear fell upon them all and the name of the Lord Jesus was being magnified.

nasb@Acts:19:18 @Many also of those who had believed kept coming, confessing and disclosing their practices.

nasb@Acts:19:21 @Now after these things were finished, Paul purposed in the Spirit to go to Jerusalem after he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, saying, "After I have been there, I must also see Rome."

nasb@Acts:19:22 @And having sent into Macedonia two of those who ministered to him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself stayed in Asia for a while.

nasb@Acts:19:23 @About that time there occurred no small disturbance concerning the Way.

nasb@Acts:19:24 @For a man named Demetrius, a silversmith, who made silver shrines of Artemis, was bringing no little business to the craftsmen;

nasb@Acts:19:25 @these he gathered together with the workmen of similar trades, and said, "Men, you know that our prosperity depends upon this business.

nasb@Acts:19:26" @You see and hear that not only in Ephesus, but in almost all of Asia, this Paul has persuaded and turned away a considerable number of people, saying that gods made with hands are no gods at all.

nasb@Acts:19:27" @Not only is there danger that this trade of ours fall into disrepute, but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis be regarded as worthless and that she whom all of Asia and the world worship will even be dethroned from her magnificence."

nasb@Acts:19:28 @When they heard this and were filled with rage, they began crying out, saying, "Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!"

nasb@Acts:19:29 @The city was filled with the confusion, and they rushed with one accord into the theater, dragging along Gaius and Aristarchus, Paul's traveling companions from Macedonia.

nasb@Acts:19:30 @And when Paul wanted to go into the assembly, the disciples would not let him.

nasb@Acts:19:31 @Also some of the Asiarchs who were friends of his sent to him and repeatedly urged him not to venture into the theater.

nasb@Acts:19:33 @Some of the crowd concluded it was Alexander, since the Jews had put him forward; and having motioned with his hand, Alexander was intending to make a defense to the assembly.

nasb@Acts:19:34 @But when they recognized that he was a Jew, a single outcry arose from them all as they shouted for about two hours, "Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!"

nasb@Acts:19:35 @After quieting the crowd, the town clerk said, "Men of Ephesus, what man is there after all who does not know that the city of the Ephesians is guardian of the temple of the great Artemis and of the image which fell down from heaven?

nasb@Acts:19:39" @But if you want anything beyond this, it shall be settled in the lawful assembly.

nasb@Acts:19:40" @For indeed we are in danger of being accused of a riot in connection with today's events, since there is no real cause for it, and in this connection we will be unable to account for this disorderly gathering."

nasb@Acts:19:41 @After saying this he dismissed the assembly.

nasb@Acts:20:1 @After the uproar had ceased, Paul sent for the disciples, and when he had exhorted them and taken his leave of them, he left to go to Macedonia.

nasb@Acts:20:2 @When he had gone through those districts and had given them much exhortation, he came to Greece.

nasb@Acts:20:4 @And he was accompanied by Sopater of Berea, the son of Pyrrhus, and by Aristarchus and Secundus of the Thessalonians, and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy, and Tychicus and Trophimus of Asia.

nasb@Acts:20:7 @On the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul began talking to them, intending to leave the next day, and he prolonged his message until midnight.

nasb@Acts:20:10 @But Paul went down and fell upon him, and after embracing him, he said, "Do not be troubled, for his life is in him."

nasb@Acts:20:21 @solemnly testifying to both Jews and Greeks of repentance toward God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.

nasb@Acts:20:24" @But I do not consider my life of any account as dear to myself, so that I may finish my course and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify solemnly of the gospel of the grace of God.

nasb@Acts:20:26" @Therefore, I testify to you this day that I am innocent of the blood of all men.

nasb@Acts:20:28" @Be on guard for yourselves and for all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood.

nasb@Acts:20:30 @and from among your own selves men will arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them.

nasb@Acts:20:31" @Therefore be on the alert, remembering that night and day for a period of three years I did not cease to admonish each one with tears.

nasb@Acts:20:32" @And now I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified.

nasb@Acts:20:34" @You yourselves know that these hands ministered to my own needs and to the men who were with me.

nasb@Acts:20:35" @In everything I showed you that by working hard in this manner you must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He Himself said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.'"

nasb@Acts:20:37 @And they began to weep aloud and embraced Paul, and repeatedly kissed him,

nasb@Acts:20:38 @grieving especially over the word which he had spoken, that they would not see his face again. And they were accompanying him to the ship.

nasb@Acts:21:4 @After looking up the disciples, we stayed there seven days; and they kept telling Paul through the Spirit not to set foot in Jerusalem.

nasb@Acts:21:7 @When we had finished the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais, and after greeting the brethren, we stayed with them for a day.

nasb@Acts:21:8 @On the next day we left and came to Caesarea, and entering the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, we stayed with him.

nasb@Acts:21:9 @Now this man had four virgin daughters who were prophetesses.

nasb@Acts:21:11 @And coming to us, he took Paul's belt and bound his own feet and hands, and said, "This is what the Holy Spirit says- 'In this way the Jews at Jerusalem will bind the man who owns this belt and deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.'"

nasb@Acts:21:12 @When we had heard this, we as well as the local residents began begging him not to go up to Jerusalem.

nasb@Acts:21:16 @Some of the disciples from Caesarea also came with us, taking us to Mnason of Cyprus, a disciple of long standing with whom we were to lodge.

nasb@Acts:21:19 @After he had greeted them, he began to relate one by one the things which God had done among the Gentiles through his ministry.

nasb@Acts:21:21 @and they have been told about you, that you are teaching all the Jews who are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children nor to walk according to the customs.

nasb@Acts:21:22" @What, then, is to be done? They will certainly hear that you have come.

nasb@Acts:21:23" @Therefore do this that we tell you. We have four men who are under a vow;

nasb@Acts:21:24 @take them and purify yourself along with them, and pay their expenses so that they may shave their heads; and all will know that there is nothing to the things which they have been told about you, but that you yourself also walk orderly, keeping the Law.

nasb@Acts:21:25" @But concerning the Gentiles who have believed, we wrote, having decided that they should abstain from meat sacrificed to idols and from blood and from what is strangled and from fornication."

nasb@Acts:21:28 @crying out, "Men of Israel, come to our aid! This is the man who preaches to all men everywhere against our people and the Law and this place; and besides he has even brought Greeks into the temple and has defiled this holy place."

nasb@Acts:21:40 @When he had given him permission, Paul, standing on the stairs, motioned to the people with his hand; and when there was a great hush, he spoke to them in the Hebrew dialect, saying,

nasb@Acts:22:3" @ I am a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city, educated under Gamaliel, strictly according to the law of our fathers, being zealous for God just as you all are today.

nasb@Acts:22:4" @ I persecuted this Way to the death, binding and putting both men and women into prisons,

nasb@Acts:22:5 @as also the high priest and all the Council of the elders can testify. From them I also received letters to the brethren, and started off for Damascus in order to bring even those who were there to Jerusalem as prisoners to be punished.

nasb@Acts:22:14" @And he said, ' The God of our fathers has appointed you to know His will and to see the Righteous One and to hear an utterance from His mouth.

nasb@Acts:22:16 @'Now why do you delay? Get up and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on His name.'

nasb@Acts:22:19" @And I said, 'Lord, they themselves understand that in one synagogue after another I used to imprison and beat those who believed in You.

nasb@Acts:22:22 @They listened to him up to this statement, and then they raised their voices and said, " Away with such a fellow from the earth, for he should not be allowed to live!"

nasb@Acts:22:25 @But when they stretched him out with thongs, Paul said to the centurion who was standing by, "Is it lawful for you to scourge a man who is a Roman and uncondemned?"

nasb@Acts:22:26 @When the centurion heard this, he went to the commander and told him, saying, "What are you about to do? For this man is a Roman."

nasb@Acts:22:28 @The commander answered, "I acquired this citizenship with a large sum of money." And Paul said, "But I was actually born a citizen."

nasb@Acts:22:30 @But on the next day, wishing to know for certain why he had been accused by the Jews, he released him and ordered the chief priests and all the Council to assemble, and brought Paul down and set him before them.

nasb@Acts:23:1 @Paul, looking intently at the Council, said, " Brethren, I have lived my life with a perfectly good conscience before God up to this day."

nasb@Acts:23:3 @Then Paul said to him, "God is going to strike you, you whitewashed wall! Do you sit to try me according to the Law, and in violation of the Law order me to be struck?"

nasb@Acts:23:5 @And Paul said, "I was not aware, brethren, that he was high priest; for it is written, ' YOU SHALL NOT SPEAK EVIL OF A RULER OF YOUR PEOPLE.'"

nasb@Acts:23:6 @But perceiving that one group were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, Paul began crying out in the Council, " Brethren, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees; I am on trial for the hope and resurrection of the dead!"

nasb@Acts:23:7 @As he said this, there occurred a dissension between the Pharisees and Sadducees, and the assembly was divided.

nasb@Acts:23:8 @For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, nor an angel, nor a spirit, but the Pharisees acknowledge them all.

nasb@Acts:23:9 @And there occurred a great uproar; and some of the scribes of the Pharisaic party stood up and began to argue heatedly, saying, " We find nothing wrong with this man; suppose a spirit or an angel has spoken to him?"

nasb@Acts:23:10 @And as a great dissension was developing, the commander was afraid Paul would be torn to pieces by them and ordered the troops to go down and take him away from them by force, and bring him into the barracks.

nasb@Acts:23:11 @But on the night immediately following, the Lord stood at his side and said, " Take courage; for as you have solemnly witnessed to My cause at Jerusalem, so you must witness at Rome also."

nasb@Acts:23:13 @There were more than forty who formed this plot.

nasb@Acts:23:15" @Now therefore, you and the Council notify the commander to bring him down to you, as though you were going to determine his case by a more thorough investigation; and we for our part are ready to slay him before he comes near the place."

nasb@Acts:23:16 @But the son of Paul's sister heard of their ambush, and he came and entered the barracks and told Paul.

nasb@Acts:23:17 @Paul called one of the centurions to him and said, "Lead this young man to the commander, for he has something to report to him."

nasb@Acts:23:18 @So he took him and led him to the commander and said, "Paul the prisoner called me to him and asked me to lead this young man to you since he has something to tell you."

nasb@Acts:23:19 @The commander took him by the hand and stepping aside, began to inquire of him privately, "What is it that you have to report to me?"

nasb@Acts:23:21" @So do not listen to them, for more than forty of them are lying in wait for him who have bound themselves under a curse not to eat or drink until they slay him; and now they are ready and waiting for the promise from you."

nasb@Acts:23:25 @And he wrote a letter having this form-

nasb@Acts:23:27" @When this man was arrested by the Jews and was about to be slain by them, I came up to them with the troops and rescued him, having learned that he was a Roman.

nasb@Acts:23:29 @and I found him to be accused over questions about their Law, but under no accusation deserving death or imprisonment.

nasb@Acts:23:30" @When I was informed that there would be a plot against the man, I sent him to you at once, also instructing his accusers to bring charges against him before you."

nasb@Acts:23:31 @So the soldiers, in accordance with their orders, took Paul and brought him by night to Antipatris.

nasb@Acts:24:2 @After Paul had been summoned, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying to the governor, "Since we have through you attained much peace, and since by your providence reforms are being carried out for this nation,

nasb@Acts:24:3 @we acknowledge this in every way and everywhere, most excellent Felix, with all thankfulness.

nasb@Acts:24:5" @For we have found this man a real pest and a fellow who stirs up dissension among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes.

nasb@Acts:24:8 @ordering his accusers to come before you.] By examining him yourself concerning all these matters you will be able to ascertain the things of which we accuse him."

nasb@Acts:24:10 @When the governor had nodded for him to speak, Paul responded- "Knowing that for many years you have been a judge to this nation, I cheerfully make my defense,

nasb@Acts:24:12" @ Neither in the temple, nor in the synagogues, nor in the city itself did they find me carrying on a discussion with anyone or causing a riot.

nasb@Acts:24:14" @But this I admit to you, that according to the Way which they call a sect I do serve the God of our fathers, believing everything that is in accordance with the Law and that is written in the Prophets;

nasb@Acts:24:15 @having a hope in God, which these men cherish themselves, that there shall certainly be a resurrection of both the righteous and the wicked.

nasb@Acts:24:16" @In view of this, I also do my best to maintain always a blameless conscience both before God and before men.

nasb@Acts:24:20" @Or else let these men themselves tell what misdeed they found when I stood before the Council,

nasb@Acts:24:21 @other than for this one statement which I shouted out while standing among them, 'For the resurrection of the dead I am on trial before you today.'"

nasb@Acts:24:23 @Then he gave orders to the centurion for him to be kept in custody and yet have some freedom, and not to prevent any of his friends from ministering to him.

nasb@Acts:24:24 @But some days later Felix arrived with Drusilla, his wife who was a Jewess, and sent for Paul and heard him speak about faith in Christ Jesus.

nasb@Acts:24:25 @But as he was discussing righteousness, self-control and the judgment to come, Felix became frightened and said, "Go away for the present, and when I find time I will summon you."

nasb@Acts:24:27 @But after two years had passed, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus, and wishing to do the Jews a favor, Felix left Paul imprisoned.

nasb@Acts:25:5" @Therefore," he said, "let the influential men among you go there with me, and if there is anything wrong about the man, let them prosecute him."

nasb@Acts:25:6 @After he had spent not more than eight or ten days among them, he went down to Caesarea, and on the next day he took his seat on the tribunal and ordered Paul to be brought.

nasb@Acts:25:8 @while Paul said in his own defense, " I have committed no offense either against the Law of the Jews or against the temple or against Caesar."

nasb@Acts:25:9 @But Festus, wishing to do the Jews a favor, answered Paul and said, " Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem and stand trial before me on these charges?"

nasb@Acts:25:11" @If, then, I am a wrongdoer and have committed anything worthy of death, I do not refuse to die; but if none of those things is true of which these men accuse me, no one can hand me over to them. I appeal to Caesar."

nasb@Acts:25:12 @Then when Festus had conferred with his council, he answered, "You have appealed to Caesar, to Caesar you shall go."

nasb@Acts:25:14 @While they were spending many days there, Festus laid Paul's case before the king, saying, "There is a man who was left as a prisoner by Felix;

nasb@Acts:25:16" @I answered them that it is not the custom of the Romans to hand over any man before the accused meets his accusers face to face and has an opportunity to make his defense against the charges.

nasb@Acts:25:19 @but they simply had some points of disagreement with him about their own religion and about a dead man, Jesus, whom Paul asserted to be alive.

nasb@Acts:25:21" @But when Paul appealed to be held in custody for the Emperor's decision, I ordered him to be kept in custody until I send him to Caesar."

nasb@Acts:25:24 @Festus said, "King Agrippa, and all you gentlemen here present with us, you see this man about whom all the people of the Jews appealed to me, both at Jerusalem and here, loudly declaring that he ought not to live any longer.

nasb@Acts:25:27" @For it seems absurd to me in sending a prisoner, not to indicate also the charges against him."

nasb@Acts:25:26 @Agrippa said to Paul, "You are permitted to speak for yourself." Then Paul stretched out his hand and proceeded to make his defense-

nasb@Acts:25:3 @especially because you are an expert in all customs and questions among the Jews; therefore I beg you to listen to me patiently.

nasb@Acts:25:5 @since they have known about me for a long time, if they are willing to testify, that I lived as a Pharisee according to the strictest sect of our religion.

nasb@Acts:25:6" @And now I am standing trial for the hope of the promise made by God to our fathers;

nasb@Acts:25:7 @the promise to which our twelve tribes hope to attain, as they earnestly serve God night and day. And for this hope, O King, I am being accused by Jews.

nasb@Acts:25:8" @Why is it considered incredible among you people if God does raise the dead?

nasb@Acts:25:10" @And this is just what I did in Jerusalem; not only did I lock up many of the saints in prisons, having received authority from the chief priests, but also when they were being put to death I cast my vote against them.

nasb@Acts:25:11" @And as I punished them often in all the synagogues, I tried to force them to blaspheme; and being furiously enraged at them, I kept pursuing them even to foreign cities.

nasb@Acts:25:12" @While so engaged as I was journeying to Damascus with the authority and commission of the chief priests,

nasb@Acts:25:14" @And when we had all fallen to the ground, I heard a voice saying to me in the Hebrew dialect, 'Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.'

nasb@Acts:25:16 @'But get up and stand on your feet; for this purpose I have appeared to you, to appoint you a minister and a witness not only to the things which you have seen, but also to the things in which I will appear to you;

nasb@Acts:25:17 @rescuing you from the Jewish people and from the Gentiles, to whom I am sending you,

nasb@Acts:25:19" @So, King Agrippa, I did not prove disobedient to the heavenly vision,

nasb@Acts:25:21" @For this reason some Jews seized me in the temple and tried to put me to death.

nasb@Acts:25:22" @So, having obtained help from God, I stand to this day testifying both to small and great, stating nothing but what the Prophets and Moses said was going to take place;

nasb@Acts:25:23 @that the Christ was to suffer, and that by reason of His resurrection from the dead He would be the first to proclaim light both to the Jewish people and to the Gentiles."

nasb@Acts:25:24 @While Paul was saying this in his defense, Festus said in a loud voice, "Paul, you are out of your mind! Your great learning is driving you mad."

nasb@Acts:25:26" @For the king knows about these matters, and I speak to him also with confidence, since I am persuaded that none of these things escape his notice; for this has not been done in a corner.

nasb@Acts:25:28 @Agrippa replied to Paul, "In a short time you will persuade me to become a Christian."

nasb@Acts:25:29 @And Paul said, "I would wish to God, that whether in a short or long time, not only you, but also all who hear me this day, might become such as I am, except for these chains."

nasb@Acts:25:31 @and when they had gone aside, they began talking to one another, saying, " This man is not doing anything worthy of death or imprisonment."

nasb@Acts:25:32 @And Agrippa said to Festus, "This man might have been set free if he had not appealed to Caesar."

nasb@Acts:26:1 @When it was decided that we would sail for Italy, they proceeded to deliver Paul and some other prisoners to a centurion of the Augustan cohort named Julius.

nasb@Acts:26:2 @And embarking in an Adramyttian ship, which was about to sail to the regions along the coast of Asia, we put out to sea accompanied by Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica.

nasb@Acts:26:3 @The next day we put in at Sidon; and Julius treated Paul with consideration and allowed him to go to his friends and receive care.

nasb@Acts:26:9 @When considerable time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous, since even the fast was already over, Paul began to admonish them,

nasb@Acts:26:12 @Because the harbor was not suitable for wintering, the majority reached a decision to put out to sea from there, if somehow they could reach Phoenix, a harbor of Crete, facing southwest and northwest, and spend the winter there.

nasb@Acts:26:16 @Running under the shelter of a small island called Clauda, we were scarcely able to get the ship's boat under control.

nasb@Acts:26:17 @After they had hoisted it up, they used supporting cables in undergirding the ship; and fearing that they might run aground on the shallows of Syrtis, they let down the sea anchor and in this way let themselves be driven along.

nasb@Acts:26:18 @The next day as we were being violently storm-tossed, they began to jettison the cargo;

nasb@Acts:26:21 @When they had gone a long time without food, then Paul stood up in their midst and said, " Men, you ought to have followed my advice and not to have set sail from Crete and incurred this damage and loss.

nasb@Acts:26:23" @For this very night an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I serve stood before me,

nasb@Acts:26:26" @But we must run aground on a certain island."

nasb@Acts:26:27 @But when the fourteenth night came, as we were being driven about in the Adriatic Sea, about midnight the sailors began to surmise that they were approaching some land.

nasb@Acts:26:29 @Fearing that we might run aground somewhere on the rocks, they cast four anchors from the stern and wished for daybreak.

nasb@Acts:26:33 @Until the day was about to dawn, Paul was encouraging them all to take some food, saying, "Today is the fourteenth day that you have been constantly watching and going without eating, having taken nothing.

nasb@Acts:26:34" @Therefore I encourage you to take some food, for this is for your preservation, for not a hair from the head of any of you will perish."

nasb@Acts:26:35 @Having said this, he took bread and gave thanks to God in the presence of all, and he broke it and began to eat.

nasb@Acts:26:40 @And casting off the anchors, they left them in the sea while at the same time they were loosening the ropes of the rudders; and hoisting the foresail to the wind, they were heading for the beach.

nasb@Acts:26:42 @The soldiers' plan was to kill the prisoners, so that none of them would swim away and escape;

nasb@Acts:27:1 @When they had been brought safely through, then we found out that the island was called Malta.

nasb@Acts:27:3 @But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and laid them on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat and fastened itself on his hand.

nasb@Acts:27:4 @When the natives saw the creature hanging from his hand, they began saying to one another, " Undoubtedly this man is a murderer, and though he has been saved from the sea, justice has not allowed him to live."

nasb@Acts:27:7 @Now in the neighborhood of that place were lands belonging to the leading man of the island, named Publius, who welcomed us and entertained us courteously three days.

nasb@Acts:27:8 @And it happened that the father of Publius was lying in bed afflicted with recurrent fever and dysentery; and Paul went in to see him and after he had prayed, he laid his hands on him and healed him.

nasb@Acts:27:9 @After this had happened, the rest of the people on the island who had diseases were coming to him and getting cured.

nasb@Acts:27:11 @At the end of three months we set sail on an Alexandrian ship which had wintered at the island, and which had the Twin Brothers for its figurehead.

nasb@Acts:27:17 @After three days Paul called together those who were the leading men of the Jews, and when they came together, he began saying to them, " Brethren, though I had done nothing against our people or the customs of our fathers, yet I was delivered as a prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans.

nasb@Acts:27:20" @For this reason, therefore, I requested to see you and to speak with you, for I am wearing this chain for the sake of the hope of Israel."

nasb@Acts:27:22" @But we desire to hear from you what your views are; for concerning this sect, it is known to us that it is spoken against everywhere."

nasb@Acts:27:23 @When they had set a day for Paul, they came to him at his lodging in large numbers; and he was explaining to them by solemnly testifying about the kingdom of God and trying to persuade them concerning Jesus, from both the Law of Moses and from the Prophets, from morning until evening.

nasb@Acts:27:25 @And when they did not agree with one another, they began leaving after Paul had spoken one parting word, "The Holy Spirit rightly spoke through Isaiah the prophet to your fathers,

nasb@Acts:27:26 @saying, ' GO TO THIS PEOPLE AND SAY, " YOU WILL KEEP ON HEARING, BUT WILL NOT UNDERSTAND; AND YOU WILL KEEP ON SEEING, BUT WILL NOT PERCEIVE;

nasb@Acts:27:27 @FOR THE HEART OF THIS PEOPLE HAS BECOME DULL, AND WITH THEIR EARS THEY SCARCELY HEAR, AND THEY HAVE CLOSED THEIR EYES; OTHERWISE THEY MIGHT SEE WITH THEIR EYES, AND HEAR WITH THEIR EARS, AND UNDERSTAND WITH THEIR HEART AND RETURN, AND I WOULD HEAL THEM."'

nasb@Acts:27:28" @Therefore let it be known to you that this salvation of God has been sent to the Gentiles; they will also listen."

nasb@Acts:27:29 @[ When he had spoken these words, the Jews departed, having a great dispute among themselves.]

nasb@Acts:27:30 @And he stayed two full years in his own rented quarters and was welcoming all who came to him,

nasb@Acts:27:31 @preaching the kingdom of God and teaching concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all openness, unhindered.

nasb@Romans:1:1 @Paul, a bond-servant of Christ Jesus, called as an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God,

nasb@Romans:1:2 @which He promised beforehand through His prophets in the holy Scriptures,

nasb@Romans:1:3 @concerning His Son, who was born of a descendant of David according to the flesh,

nasb@Romans:1:4 @who was declared the Son of God with power by the resurrection from the dead, according to the Spirit of holiness, Jesus Christ our Lord,

nasb@Romans:1:5 @through whom we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith among all the Gentiles for His name's sake,

nasb@Romans:1:6 @among whom you also are the called of Jesus Christ;

nasb@Romans:1:7 @to all who are beloved of God in Rome, called as saints- Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

nasb@Romans:1:8 @First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, because your faith is being proclaimed throughout the whole world.

nasb@Romans:1:9 @For God, whom I serve in my spirit in the preaching of the gospel of His Son, is my witness as to how unceasingly I make mention of you,

nasb@Romans:1:11 @For I long to see you so that I may impart some spiritual gift to you, that you may be established;

nasb@Romans:1:12 @that is, that I may be encouraged together with you while among you, each of us by the other's faith, both yours and mine.

nasb@Romans:1:14 @I am under obligation both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish.

nasb@Romans:1:16 @For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

nasb@Romans:1:17 @For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, " BUT THE RIGHTEOUS man SHALL LIVE BY FAITH."

nasb@Romans:1:18 @For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,

nasb@Romans:1:19 @because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them.

nasb@Romans:1:20 @For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse.

nasb@Romans:1:21 @For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

nasb@Romans:1:22 @Professing to be wise, they became fools,

nasb@Romans:1:24 @Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, so that their bodies would be dishonored among them.

nasb@Romans:1:25 @For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

nasb@Romans:1:26 @For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural,

nasb@Romans:1:30 @slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents,

nasb@Romans:2:3 @But do you suppose this, O man, when you pass judgment on those who practice such things and do the same yourself, that you will escape the judgment of God?

nasb@Romans:2:4 @Or do you think lightly of the riches of His kindness and tolerance and patience, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance?

nasb@Romans:2:6 @who WILL RENDER TO EACH PERSON ACCORDING TO HIS DEEDS-

nasb@Romans:2:8 @but to those who are selfishly ambitious and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, wrath and indignation.

nasb@Romans:2:9 @There will be tribulation and distress for every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek,

nasb@Romans:2:11 @For there is no partiality with God.

nasb@Romans:2:12 @For all who have sinned without the Law will also perish without the Law, and all who have sinned under the Law will be judged by the Law;

nasb@Romans:2:13 @for it is not the hearers of the Law who are just before God, but the doers of the Law will be justified.

nasb@Romans:2:16 @on the day when, according to my gospel, God will judge the secrets of men through Christ Jesus.

nasb@Romans:2:18 @and know His will and approve the things that are essential, being instructed out of the Law,

nasb@Romans:2:20 @a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of the immature, having in the Law the embodiment of knowledge and of the truth,

nasb@Romans:2:23 @You who boast in the Law, through your breaking the Law, do you dishonor God?

nasb@Romans:2:24 @For " THE NAME OF GOD IS BLASPHEMED AMONG THE GENTILES BECAUSE OF YOU," just as it is written.

nasb@Romans:2:25 @For indeed circumcision is of value if you practice the Law; but if you are a transgressor of the Law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.

nasb@Romans:2:26 @So if the uncircumcised man keeps the requirements of the Law, will not his uncircumcision be regarded as circumcision?

nasb@Romans:2:27 @And he who is physically uncircumcised, if he keeps the Law, will he not judge you who though having the letter of the Law and circumcision are a transgressor of the Law?

nasb@Romans:2:28 @For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh.

nasb@Romans:2:29 @But he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that which is of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter; and his praise is not from men, but from God.

nasb@Romans:3:1 @Then what advantage has the Jew? Or what is the benefit of circumcision?

nasb@Romans:3:4 @May it never be! Rather, let God be found true, though every man be found a liar, as it is written, " THAT YOU MAY BE JUSTIFIED IN YOUR WORDS, AND PREVAIL WHEN YOU ARE JUDGED."

nasb@Romans:3:5 @But if our unrighteousness demonstrates the righteousness of God, what shall we say? The God who inflicts wrath is not unrighteous, is He? ( I am speaking in human terms.)

nasb@Romans:3:6 @May it never be! For otherwise, how will God judge the world?

nasb@Romans:3:7 @But if through my lie the truth of God abounded to His glory, why am I also still being judged as a sinner?

nasb@Romans:3:8 @And why not say (as we are slanderously reported and as some claim that we say), " Let us do evil that good may come"? Their condemnation is just.

nasb@Romans:3:10 @as it is written, " THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS, NOT EVEN ONE;

nasb@Romans:3:11 @THERE IS NONE WHO UNDERSTANDS, THERE IS NONE WHO SEEKS FOR GOD;

nasb@Romans:3:12 @ALL HAVE TURNED ASIDE, TOGETHER THEY HAVE BECOME USELESS; THERE IS NONE WHO DOES GOOD, THERE IS NOT EVEN ONE."

nasb@Romans:3:13" @ THEIR THROAT IS AN OPEN GRAVE, WITH THEIR TONGUES THEY KEEP DECEIVING," " THE POISON OF ASPS IS UNDER THEIR LIPS";

nasb@Romans:3:14" @ WHOSE MOUTH IS FULL OF CURSING AND BITTERNESS";

nasb@Romans:3:16 @DESTRUCTION AND MISERY ARE IN THEIR PATHS,

nasb@Romans:3:18" @ THERE IS NO FEAR OF GOD BEFORE THEIR EYES."

nasb@Romans:3:20 @because by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified in His sight; for through the Law comes the knowledge of sin.

nasb@Romans:3:22 @even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all those who believe; for there is no distinction;

nasb@Romans:3:24 @being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus;

nasb@Romans:3:25 @whom God displayed publicly as a propitiation in His blood through faith. This was to demonstrate His righteousness, because in the forbearance of God He passed over the sins previously committed;

nasb@Romans:3:26 @for the demonstration, I say, of His righteousness at the present time, so that He would be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.

nasb@Romans:3:27 @Where then is boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith.

nasb@Romans:3:28 @For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the Law.

nasb@Romans:3:29 @Or is God the God of Jews only? Is He not the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also,

nasb@Romans:3:30 @since indeed God who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith is one.

nasb@Romans:3:31 @Do we then nullify the Law through faithNULL May it never be! On the contrary, we establish the Law.

nasb@Romans:4:4 @Now to the one who works, his wage is not credited as a favor, but as what is due.

nasb@Romans:4:5 @But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness,

nasb@Romans:4:8" @ BLESSED IS THE MAN WHOSE SIN THE LORD WILL NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT."

nasb@Romans:4:9 @Is this blessing then on the circumcised, or on the uncircumcised also? For we say, " FAITH WAS CREDITED TO ABRAHAM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS."

nasb@Romans:4:10 @How then was it credited? While he was circumcised, or uncircumcised? Not while circumcised, but while uncircumcised;

nasb@Romans:4:11 @and he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while uncircumcised, so that he might be the father of all who believe without being circumcised, that righteousness might be credited to them,

nasb@Romans:4:12 @and the father of circumcision to those who not only are of the circumcision, but who also follow in the steps of the faith of our father Abraham which he had while uncircumcised.

nasb@Romans:4:13 @For the promise to Abraham or to his descendants that he would be heir of the world was not through the Law, but through the righteousness of faith.

nasb@Romans:4:14 @For if those who are of the Law are heirs, faith is made void and the promise is nullified;

nasb@Romans:4:15 @for the Law brings about wrath, but where there is no law, there also is no violation.

nasb@Romans:4:16 @For this reason it is by faith, in order that it may be in accordance with grace, so that the promise will be guaranteed to all the descendants, not only to those who are of the Law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all,

nasb@Romans:4:17 @(as it is written, " A FATHER OF MANY NATIONS HAVE I MADE YOU") in the presence of Him whom he believed, even God, who gives life to the dead and calls into being that which does not exist.

nasb@Romans:4:19 @Without becoming weak in faith he contemplated his own body, now as good as dead since he was about a hundred years old, and the deadness of Sarah's womb;

nasb@Romans:4:20 @yet, with respect to the promise of God, he did not waver in unbelief but grew strong in faith, giving glory to God,

nasb@Romans:4:21 @and being fully assured that what God had promised, He was able also to perform.

nasb@Romans:4:23 @Now not for his sake only was it written that it was credited to him,

nasb@Romans:4:24 @but for our sake also, to whom it will be credited, as those who believe in Him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead,

nasb@Romans:4:25 @He who was delivered over because of our transgressions, and was raised because of our justification.

nasb@Romans:5:1 @Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

nasb@Romans:5:2 @through whom also we have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand; and we exult in hope of the glory of God.

nasb@Romans:5:3 @And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance;

nasb@Romans:5:5 @and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

nasb@Romans:5:6 @For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.

nasb@Romans:5:8 @But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

nasb@Romans:5:9 @Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him.

nasb@Romans:5:10 @For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.

nasb@Romans:5:11 @And not only this, but we also exult in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.

nasb@Romans:5:13 @for until the Law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law.

nasb@Romans:5:14 @Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who had not sinned in the likeness of the offense of Adam, who is a type of Him who was to come.

nasb@Romans:5:15 @But the free gift is not like the transgression. For if by the transgression of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many.

nasb@Romans:5:16 @The gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned; for on the one hand the judgment arose from one transgression resulting in condemnation, but on the other hand the free gift arose from many transgressions resulting in justification.

nasb@Romans:5:17 @For if by the transgression of the one, death reigned through the one, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.

nasb@Romans:5:19 @For as through the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the One the many will be made righteous.

nasb@Romans:5:21 @so that, as sin reigned in death, even so grace would reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

nasb@Romans:6:3 @Or do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death?

nasb@Romans:6:4 @Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life.

nasb@Romans:6:5 @For if we have become united with Him in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall also be in the likeness of His resurrection,

nasb@Romans:6:6 @knowing this, that our old self was crucified with Him, in order that our body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin;

nasb@Romans:6:7 @for he who has died is freed from sin.

nasb@Romans:6:8 @Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him,

nasb@Romans:6:9 @knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, is never to die again; death no longer is master over Him.

nasb@Romans:6:11 @Even so consider yourselves to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.

nasb@Romans:6:21 @Therefore what benefit were you then deriving from the things of which you are now ashamed? For the outcome of those things is death.

nasb@Romans:6:23 @For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

nasb@Romans:7:1 @Or do you not know, brethren (for I am speaking to those who know the law), that the law has jurisdiction over a person as long as he lives?

nasb@Romans:7:2 @For the married woman is bound by law to her husband while he is living; but if her husband dies, she is released from the law concerning the husband.

nasb@Romans:7:3 @So then, if while her husband is living she is joined to another man, she shall be called an adulteress; but if her husband dies, she is free from the law, so that she is not an adulteress though she is joined to another man.

nasb@Romans:7:4 @Therefore, my brethren, you also were made to die to the Law through the body of Christ, so that you might be joined to another, to Him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit for God.

nasb@Romans:7:7 @What shall we say then? Is the Law sin? May it never be! On the contrary, I would not have come to know sin except through the Law; for I would not have known about coveting if the Law had not said, " YOU SHALL NOT COVET."

nasb@Romans:7:8 @But sin, taking opportunity through the commandment, produced in me coveting of every kind; for apart from the Law sin is dead.

nasb@Romans:7:10 @and this commandment, which was to result in life, proved to result in death for me;

nasb@Romans:7:12 @So then, the Law is holy, and the commandment is holy and righteous and good.

nasb@Romans:7:13 @Therefore did that which is good become a cause of death for me? May it never be! Rather it was sin, in order that it might be shown to be sin by effecting my death through that which is good, so that through the commandment sin would become utterly sinful.

nasb@Romans:7:14 @For we know that the Law is spiritual, but I am of flesh, sold into bondage to sin.

nasb@Romans:7:16 @But if I do the very thing I do not want to do, I agree with the Law, confessing that the Law is good.

nasb@Romans:7:18 @For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh; for the willing is present in me, but the doing of the good is not.

nasb@Romans:7:21 @I find then the principle that evil is present in me, the one who wants to do good.

nasb@Romans:7:23 @but I see a different law in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin which is in my members.

nasb@Romans:7:24 @Wretched man that I am! Who will set me free from the body of this death?

nasb@Romans:7:25 @Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, on the one hand I myself with my mind am serving the law of God, but on the other, with my flesh the law of sin.

nasb@Romans:8:1 @Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

nasb@Romans:8:2 @For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death.

nasb@Romans:8:3 @For what the Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, God did- sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh,

nasb@Romans:8:6 @For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace,

nasb@Romans:8:7 @because the mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so,

nasb@Romans:8:9 @However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him.

nasb@Romans:8:10 @If Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is alive because of righteousness.

nasb@Romans:8:11 @But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.

nasb@Romans:8:17 @and if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him.

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

nasb@Romans:8:23 @And not only this, but also we ourselves, having the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our body.

nasb@Romans:8:24 @For in hope we have been saved, but hope that is seen is not hope; for who hopes for what he already sees?

nasb@Romans:8:27 @and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.

nasb@Romans:8:28 @And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.

nasb@Romans:8:29 @For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren;

nasb@Romans:8:31 @What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us?

nasb@Romans:8:32 @He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things?

nasb@Romans:8:33 @Who will bring a charge against God's elect? God is the one who justifies;

nasb@Romans:8:34 @who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is He who died, yes, rather who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us.

nasb@Romans:8:35 @Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

nasb@Romans:8:36 @Just as it is written, " FOR YOUR SAKE WE ARE BEING PUT TO DEATH ALL DAY LONG; WE WERE CONSIDERED AS SHEEP TO BE SLAUGHTERED."

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

nasb@Romans:9:1 @I am telling the truth in Christ, I am not lying, my conscience testifies with me in the Holy Spirit,

nasb@Romans:9:3 @For I could wish that I myself were accursed, separated from Christ for the sake of my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh,

nasb@Romans:9:4 @who are Israelites, to whom belongs the adoption as sons, and the glory and the covenants and the giving of the Law and the temple service and the promises,

nasb@Romans:9:5 @whose are the fathers, and from whom is the Christ according to the flesh, who is over all, God blessed forever. Amen.

nasb@Romans:9:6 @But it is not as though the word of God has failed. For they are not all Israel who are descended from Israel;

nasb@Romans:9:7 @nor are they all children because they are Abraham's descendants, but- " THROUGH ISAAC YOUR DESCENDANTS WILL BE NAMED."

nasb@Romans:9:8 @That is, it is not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise are regarded as descendants.

nasb@Romans:9:9 @For this is the word of promise- " AT THIS TIME I WILL COME, AND SARAH SHALL HAVE A SON."

nasb@Romans:9:10 @And not only this, but there was Rebekah also, when she had conceived twins by one man, our father Isaac;

nasb@Romans:9:11 @for though the twins were not yet born and had not done anything good or bad, so that God's purpose according to His choice would stand, not because of works but because of Him who calls,

nasb@Romans:9:13 @Just as it is written, " JACOB I LOVED, BUT ESAU I HATED."

nasb@Romans:9:14 @What shall we say then? There is no injustice with God, is there? May it never be!

nasb@Romans:9:17 @For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, " FOR THIS VERY PURPOSE I RAISED YOU UP, TO DEMONSTRATE MY POWER IN YOU, AND THAT MY NAME MIGHT BE PROCLAIMED THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE EARTH."

nasb@Romans:9:19 @You will say to me then, " Why does He still find fault? For who resists His will?"

nasb@Romans:9:20 @On the contrary, who are you, O man, who answers back to God? The thing molded will not say to the molder, "Why did you make me like this," will it?

nasb@Romans:9:22 @What if God, although willing to demonstrate His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction?

nasb@Romans:9:23 @And He did so to make known the riches of His glory upon vessels of mercy, which He prepared beforehand for glory,

nasb@Romans:9:27 @Isaiah cries out concerning Israel, " THOUGH THE NUMBER OF THE SONS OF ISRAEL BE LIKE THE SAND OF THE SEA, IT IS THE REMNANT THAT WILL BE SAVED;

nasb@Romans:9:28 @FOR THE LORD WILL EXECUTE HIS WORD ON THE EARTH, THOROUGHLY AND QUICKLY."

nasb@Romans:9:29 @And just as Isaiah foretold, " UNLESS THE LORD OF SABAOTH HAD LEFT TO US A POSTERITY, WE WOULD HAVE BECOME LIKE SODOM, AND WOULD HAVE RESEMBLED GOMORRAH."

nasb@Romans:9:30 @What shall we say then? That Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, attained righteousness, even the righteousness which is by faith;

nasb@Romans:9:31 @but Israel, pursuing a law of righteousness, did not arrive at that law.

nasb@Romans:9:33 @just as it is written, " BEHOLD, I LAY IN ZION A STONE OF STUMBLING AND A ROCK OF OFFENSE, AND HE WHO BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED."

nasb@Romans:10:1 @Brethren, my heart's desire and my prayer to God for them is for their salvation.

nasb@Romans:10:3 @For not knowing about God's righteousness and seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God.

nasb@Romans:10:4 @For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.

nasb@Romans:10:5 @For Moses writes that the man who practices the righteousness which is based on law shall live by that righteousness.

nasb@Romans:10:6 @But the righteousness based on faith speaks as follows- " DO NOT SAY IN YOUR HEART, 'WHO WILL ASCEND INTO HEAVEN?' (that is, to bring Christ down),

nasb@Romans:10:7 @or 'WHO WILL DESCEND INTO THE ABYSS?' (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead)."

nasb@Romans:10:8 @But what does it say? " THE WORD IS NEAR YOU, IN YOUR MOUTH AND IN YOUR HEART"--that is, the word of faith which we are preaching,

nasb@Romans:10:9 @that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved;

nasb@Romans:10:11 @For the Scripture says, " WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED."

nasb@Romans:10:12 @For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, abounding in riches for all who call on Him;

nasb@Romans:10:15 @How will they preach unless they are sent? Just as it is written, " HOW BEAUTIFUL ARE THE FEET OF THOSE WHO BRING GOOD NEWS OF GOOD THINGS!"

nasb@Romans:10:16 @However, they did not all heed the good news; for Isaiah says, " LORD, WHO HAS BELIEVED OUR REPORT?"

nasb@Romans:10:17 @So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.

nasb@Romans:10:19 @But I say, surely Israel did not know, did they? First Moses says, " I WILL MAKE YOU JEALOUS BY THAT WHICH IS NOT A NATION, BY A NATION WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING WILL I ANGER YOU."

nasb@Romans:10:20 @And Isaiah is very bold and says, " I WAS FOUND BY THOSE WHO DID NOT SEEK ME, I BECAME MANIFEST TO THOSE WHO DID NOT ASK FOR ME."

nasb@Romans:10:21 @But as for Israel He says, " ALL THE DAY LONG I HAVE STRETCHED OUT MY HANDS TO A DISOBEDIENT AND OBSTINATE PEOPLE."

nasb@Romans:11:1 @I say then, God has not rejected His people, has He? May it never be! For I too am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

nasb@Romans:11:2 @God has not rejected His people whom He foreknew. Or do you not know what the Scripture says in the passage about Elijah, how he pleads with God against Israel?

nasb@Romans:11:4 @But what is the divine response to him? " I HAVE KEPT for Myself SEVEN THOUSAND MEN WHO HAVE NOT BOWED THE KNEE TO BAAL."

nasb@Romans:11:6 @But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works, otherwise grace is no longer grace.

nasb@Romans:11:7 @What then? What Israel is seeking, it has not obtained, but those who were chosen obtained it, and the rest were hardened;

nasb@Romans:11:8 @just as it is written, " GOD GAVE THEM A SPIRIT OF STUPOR, EYES TO SEE NOT AND EARS TO HEAR NOT, DOWN TO THIS VERY DAY."

nasb@Romans:11:12 @Now if their transgression is riches for the world and their failure is riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their fulfillment be!

nasb@Romans:11:13 @But I am speaking to you who are Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle of Gentiles, I magnify my ministry,

nasb@Romans:11:15 @For if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?

nasb@Romans:11:16 @If the first piece of dough is holy, the lump is also; and if the root is holy, the branches are too.

nasb@Romans:11:18 @do not be arrogant toward the branches; but if you are arrogant, remember that it is not you who supports the root, but the root supports you.

nasb@Romans:11:22 @Behold then the kindness and severity of God; to those who fell, severity, but to you, God's kindness, if you continue in His kindness; otherwise you also will be cut off.

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

nasb@Romans:11:24 @For if you were cut off from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these who are the natural branches be grafted into their own olive tree?

nasb@Romans:11:25 @For I do not want you, brethren, to be uninformed of this mystery--so that you will not be wise in your own estimation--that a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in;

nasb@Romans:11:26 @and so all Israel will be saved; just as it is written, " THE DELIVERER WILL COME FROM ZION, HE WILL REMOVE UNGODLINESS FROM JACOB."

nasb@Romans:11:27" @ THIS IS MY COVENANT WITH THEM, WHEN I TAKE AWAY THEIR SINS."

nasb@Romans:11:30 @For just as you once were disobedient to God, but now have been shown mercy because of their disobedience,

nasb@Romans:11:31 @so these also now have been disobedient, that because of the mercy shown to you they also may now be shown mercy.

nasb@Romans:11:32 @For God has shut up all in disobedience so that He may show mercy to all.

nasb@Romans:11:33 @Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways!

nasb@Romans:11:34 @For WHO HAS KNOWN THE MIND OF THE LORD, OR WHO BECAME HIS COUNSELOR?

nasb@Romans:12:1 @Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship.

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

nasb@Romans:12:5 @so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.

nasb@Romans:12:6 @Since we have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, each of us is to exercise them accordingly- if prophecy, according to the proportion of his faith;

nasb@Romans:12:7 @if service, in his serving; or he who teaches, in his teaching;

nasb@Romans:12:8 @or he who exhorts, in his exhortation; he who gives, with liberality; he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.

nasb@Romans:12:9 @Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil; cling to what is good.

nasb@Romans:12:16 @Be of the same mind toward one another; do not be haughty in mind, but associate with the lowly. Do not be wise in your own estimation.

nasb@Romans:12:17 @Never pay back evil for evil to anyone. Respect what is right in the sight of all men.

nasb@Romans:12:19 @Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written, " VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY," says the Lord.

nasb@Romans:12:20" @ BUT IF YOUR ENEMY IS HUNGRY, FEED HIM, AND IF HE IS THIRSTY, GIVE HIM A DRINK; FOR IN SO DOING YOU WILL HEAP BURNING COALS ON HIS HEAD."

nasb@Romans:13:1 @Every person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God.

nasb@Romans:13:2 @Therefore whoever resists authority has opposed the ordinance of God; and they who have opposed will receive condemnation upon themselves.

nasb@Romans:13:3 @For rulers are not a cause of fear for good behavior, but for evil. Do you want to have no fear of authority? Do what is good and you will have praise from the same;

nasb@Romans:13:4 @for it is a minister of God to you for good. But if you do what is evil, be afraid; for it does not bear the sword for nothing; for it is a minister of God, an avenger who brings wrath on the one who practices evil.

nasb@Romans:13:5 @Therefore it is necessary to be in subjection, not only because of wrath, but also for conscience' sake.

nasb@Romans:13:6 @For because of this you also pay taxes, for rulers are servants of God, devoting themselves to this very thing.

nasb@Romans:13:7 @Render to all what is due them- tax to whom tax is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honor to whom honor.

nasb@Romans:13:8 @Owe nothing to anyone except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.

nasb@Romans:13:9 @For this, " YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY, YOU SHALL NOT MURDER, YOU SHALL NOT STEAL, YOU SHALL NOT COVET," and if there is any other commandment, it is summed up in this saying, " YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF."

nasb@Romans:13:10 @Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

nasb@Romans:13:11 @Do this, knowing the time, that it is already the hour for you to awaken from sleep; for now salvation is nearer to us than when we believed.

nasb@Romans:13:12 @The night is almost gone, and the day is near. Therefore let us lay aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light.

nasb@Romans:13:13 @Let us behave properly as in the day, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual promiscuity and sensuality, not in strife and jealousy.

nasb@Romans:13:14 @But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh in regard to its lusts.

nasb@Romans:14:1 @Now accept the one who is weak in faith, but not for the purpose of passing judgment on his opinions.

nasb@Romans:14:2 @One person has faith that he may eat all things, but he who is weak eats vegetables only.

nasb@Romans:14:3 @The one who eats is not to regard with contempt the one who does not eat, and the one who does not eat is not to judge the one who eats, for God has accepted him.

nasb@Romans:14:4 @Who are you to judge the servant of another? To his own master he stands or falls; and he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand.

nasb@Romans:14:5 @One person regards one day above another, another regards every day alike. Each person must be fully convinced in his own mind.

nasb@Romans:14:9 @For to this end Christ died and lived again, that He might be Lord both of the dead and of the living.

nasb@Romans:14:11 @For it is written, " AS I LIVE, SAYS THE LORD, EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW TO ME, AND EVERY TONGUE SHALL GIVE PRAISE TO GOD."

nasb@Romans:14:13 @Therefore let us not judge one another anymore, but rather determine this-- not to put an obstacle or a stumbling block in a brother's way.

nasb@Romans:14:14 @I know and am convinced in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself; but to him who thinks anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.

nasb@Romans:14:15 @For if because of food your brother is hurt, you are no longer walking according to love. Do not destroy with your food him for whom Christ died.

nasb@Romans:14:16 @Therefore do not let what is for you a good thing be spoken of as evil;

nasb@Romans:14:17 @for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

nasb@Romans:14:18 @For he who in this way serves Christ is acceptable to God and approved by men.

nasb@Romans:14:21 @It is good not to eat meat or to drink wine, or to do anything by which your brother stumbles.

nasb@Romans:14:22 @The faith which you have, have as your own conviction before God. Happy is he who does not condemn himself in what he approves.

nasb@Romans:14:23 @But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because his eating is not from faith; and whatever is not from faith is sin.

nasb@Romans:15:2 @Each of us is to please his neighbor for his good, to his edification.

nasb@Romans:15:3 @For even Christ did not please Himself; but as it is written, " THE REPROACHES OF THOSE WHO REPROACHED YOU FELL ON ME."

nasb@Romans:15:5 @Now may the God who gives perseverance and encouragement grant you to be of the same mind with one another according to Christ Jesus,

nasb@Romans:15:6 @so that with one accord you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

nasb@Romans:15:7 @Therefore, accept one another, just as Christ also accepted us to the glory of God.

nasb@Romans:15:8 @For I say that Christ has become a servant to the circumcision on behalf of the truth of God to confirm the promises given to the fathers,

nasb@Romans:15:9 @and for the Gentiles to glorify God for His mercy; as it is written, " THEREFORE I WILL GIVE PRAISE TO YOU AMONG THE GENTILES, AND I WILL SING TO YOUR NAME."

nasb@Romans:15:10 @Again he says, " REJOICE, O GENTILES, WITH HIS PEOPLE."

nasb@Romans:15:11 @And again, " PRAISE THE LORD ALL YOU GENTILES, AND LET ALL THE PEOPLES PRAISE HIM."

nasb@Romans:15:12 @Again Isaiah says, " THERE SHALL COME THE ROOT OF JESSE, AND HE WHO ARISES TO RULE OVER THE GENTILES, IN HIM SHALL THE GENTILES HOPE."

nasb@Romans:15:14 @And concerning you, my brethren, I myself also am convinced that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge and able also to admonish one another.

nasb@Romans:15:16 @to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles, ministering as a priest the gospel of God, so that my offering of the Gentiles may become acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

nasb@Romans:15:17 @Therefore in Christ Jesus I have found reason for boasting in things pertaining to God.

nasb@Romans:15:18 @For I will not presume to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me, resulting in the obedience of the Gentiles by word and deed,

nasb@Romans:15:19 @in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of the Spirit; so that from Jerusalem and round about as far as Illyricum I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.

nasb@Romans:15:20 @And thus I aspired to preach the gospel, not where Christ was already named, so that I would not build on another man's foundation;

nasb@Romans:15:21 @but as it is written, " THEY WHO HAD NO NEWS OF HIM SHALL SEE, AND THEY WHO HAVE NOT HEARD SHALL UNDERSTAND."

nasb@Romans:15:22 @For this reason I have often been prevented from coming to you;

nasb@Romans:15:27 @Yes, they were pleased to do so, and they are indebted to them. For if the Gentiles have shared in their spiritual things, they are indebted to minister to them also in material things.

nasb@Romans:15:28 @Therefore, when I have finished this, and have put my seal on this fruit of theirs, I will go on by way of you to Spain.

nasb@Romans:15:29 @I know that when I come to you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of Christ.

nasb@Romans:15:30 @Now I urge you, brethren, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to strive together with me in your prayers to God for me,

nasb@Romans:15:31 @that I may be rescued from those who are disobedient in Judea, and that my service for Jerusalem may prove acceptable to the saints;

nasb@Romans:16:1 @I commend to you our sister Phoebe, who is a servant of the church which is at Cenchrea;

nasb@Romans:16:3 @Greet Prisca and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus,

nasb@Romans:16:4 @who for my life risked their own necks, to whom not only do I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles;

nasb@Romans:16:5 @also greet the church that is in their house. Greet Epaenetus, my beloved, who is the first convert to Christ from Asia.

nasb@Romans:16:7 @Greet Andronicus and Junias, my kinsmen and my fellow prisoners, who are outstanding among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me.

nasb@Romans:16:9 @Greet Urbanus, our fellow worker in Christ, and Stachys my beloved.

nasb@Romans:16:10 @Greet Apelles, the approved in Christ. Greet those who are of the household of Aristobulus.

nasb@Romans:16:11 @Greet Herodion, my kinsman. Greet those of the household of Narcissus, who are in the Lord.

nasb@Romans:16:12 @Greet Tryphaena and Tryphosa, workers in the Lord. Greet Persis the beloved, who has worked hard in the Lord.

nasb@Romans:16:13 @Greet Rufus, a choice man in the Lord, also his mother and mine.

nasb@Romans:16:15 @Greet Philologus and Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints who are with them.

nasb@Romans:16:16 @Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the churches of Christ greet you.

nasb@Romans:16:17 @Now I urge you, brethren, keep your eye on those who cause dissensions and hindrances contrary to the teaching which you learned, and turn away from them.

nasb@Romans:16:18 @For such men are slaves, not of our Lord Christ but of their own appetites; and by their smooth and flattering speech they deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting.

nasb@Romans:16:19 @For the report of your obedience has reached to all; therefore I am rejoicing over you, but I want you to be wise in what is good and innocent in what is evil.

nasb@Romans:16:22 @I, Tertius, who write this letter, greet you in the Lord.

nasb@Romans:16:24 @[ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.]

nasb@Romans:16:25 @Now to Him who is able to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which has been kept secret for long ages past,

nasb@Romans:16:26 @but now is manifested, and by the Scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the eternal God, has been made known to all the nations, leading to obedience of faith;

nasb@Romans:16:27 @to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, be the glory forever. Amen.

nasb@1Corinthians:1:1 @Paul, called as an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,

nasb@1Corinthians:1:2 @To the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, saints by calling, with all who in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours-

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

nasb@1Corinthians:1:4 @I thank my God always concerning you for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus,

nasb@1Corinthians:1:6 @even as the testimony concerning Christ was confirmed in you,

nasb@1Corinthians:1:7 @so that you are not lacking in any gift, awaiting eagerly the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ,

nasb@1Corinthians:1:8 @who will also confirm you to the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

nasb@1Corinthians:1:9 @God is faithful, through whom you were called into fellowship with His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

nasb@1Corinthians:1:10 @Now I exhort you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all agree and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be made complete in the same mind and in the same judgment.

nasb@1Corinthians:1:12 @Now I mean this, that each one of you is saying, "I am of Paul," and "I of Apollos," and "I of Cephas," and "I of Christ."

nasb@1Corinthians:1:13 @Has Christ been divided? Paul was not crucified for you, was he? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?

nasb@1Corinthians:1:14 @I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius,

nasb@1Corinthians:1:17 @For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not in cleverness of speech, so that the cross of Christ would not be made void.

nasb@1Corinthians:1:18 @For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

nasb@1Corinthians:1:19 @For it is written, " I WILL DESTROY THE WISDOM OF THE WISE, AND THE CLEVERNESS OF THE CLEVER I WILL SET ASIDE."

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

nasb@1Corinthians:1:21 @For since in the wisdom of God 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.

nasb@1Corinthians:1:22 @For indeed Jews ask for signs and Greeks search for wisdom;

nasb@1Corinthians:1:23 @but we preach Christ crucified, to Jews a stumbling block and to Gentiles foolishness,

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

nasb@1Corinthians:1:25 @Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

nasb@1Corinthians:1:26 @For consider your calling, brethren, that there were not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble;

nasb@1Corinthians:1:27 @but God has chosen the foolish things of the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to shame the things which are strong,

nasb@1Corinthians:1:28 @and the base things of the world and the despised God has chosen, the things that are not, so that He may nullify the things that are,

nasb@1Corinthians:1:30 @But by His doing you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption,

nasb@1Corinthians:1:31 @so that, just as it is written, " LET HIM WHO BOASTS, BOAST IN THE LORD."

nasb@1Corinthians:2:1 @And when I came to you, brethren, I did not come with superiority of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God.

nasb@1Corinthians:2:2 @For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified.

nasb@1Corinthians:2:4 @and my message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,

nasb@1Corinthians:2:5 @so that your faith would not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God.

nasb@1Corinthians:2:6 @Yet we do speak wisdom among those who are mature; a wisdom, however, not of this age nor of the rulers of this age, who are passing away;

nasb@1Corinthians:2:7 @but we speak God's wisdom in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God predestined before the ages to our glory;

nasb@1Corinthians:2:8 @the wisdom which none of the rulers of this age has understood; for if they had understood it they would not have crucified the Lord of glory;

nasb@1Corinthians:2:9 @but just as it is written, " THINGS WHICH EYE HAS NOT SEEN AND EAR HAS NOT HEARD, AND which HAVE NOT ENTERED THE HEART OF MAN, ALL THAT GOD HAS PREPARED FOR THOSE WHO LOVE HIM."

nasb@1Corinthians:2:11 @For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so the thoughts of God no one knows except the Spirit of God.

nasb@1Corinthians:2:12 @Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God,

nasb@1Corinthians:2:13 @which things we also speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words.

nasb@1Corinthians:2:14 @But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised.

nasb@1Corinthians:2:15 @But he who is spiritual appraises all things, yet he himself is appraised by no one.

nasb@1Corinthians:2:16 @For WHO HAS KNOWN THE MIND OF THE LORD, THAT HE WILL INSTRUCT HIMNULL But we have the mind of Christ.

nasb@1Corinthians:3:1 @And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual men, but as to men of flesh, as to infants in Christ.

nasb@1Corinthians:3:3 @for you are still fleshly. For since there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not fleshly, and are you not walking like mere men?

nasb@1Corinthians:3:5 @What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, even as the Lord gave opportunity to each one.

nasb@1Corinthians:3:7 @So then neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but God who causes the growth.

nasb@1Corinthians:3:8 @Now he who plants and he who waters are one; but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor.

nasb@1Corinthians:3:10 @According to the grace of God which was given to me, like a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another is building on it. But each man must be careful how he builds on it.

nasb@1Corinthians:3:11 @For no man can lay a foundation other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

nasb@1Corinthians:3:13 @each man's work will become evident; for the day will show it because it is to be revealed with fire, and the fire itself will test the quality of each man's work.

nasb@1Corinthians:3:15 @If any man's work is burned up, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.

nasb@1Corinthians:3:17 @If any man destroys the temple of God, God will destroy him, for the temple of God is holy, and that is what you are.

nasb@1Corinthians:3:18 @Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you thinks that he is wise in this age, he must become foolish, so that he may become wise.

nasb@1Corinthians:3:19 @For the wisdom of this world is foolishness before God. For it is written, "He is THE ONE WHO CATCHES THE WISE IN THEIR CRAFTINESS";

nasb@1Corinthians:3:20 @and again, " THE LORD KNOWS THE REASONINGS of the wise, THAT THEY ARE USELESS."

nasb@1Corinthians:3:23 @and you belong to Christ; and Christ belongs to God.

nasb@1Corinthians:4:1 @Let a man regard us in this manner, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.

nasb@1Corinthians:4:2 @In this case, moreover, it is required of stewards that one be found trustworthy.

nasb@1Corinthians:4:3 @But to me it is a very small thing that I may be examined by you, or by any human court; in fact, I do not even examine myself.

nasb@1Corinthians:4:4 @For I am conscious of nothing against myself, yet I am not by this acquitted; but the one who examines me is the Lord.

nasb@1Corinthians:4:5 @Therefore do not go on passing judgment before the time, but wait until the Lord comes who will both bring to light the things hidden in the darkness and disclose the motives of men's hearts; and then each man's praise will come to him from God.

nasb@1Corinthians:4:6 @Now these things, brethren, I have figuratively applied to myself and Apollos for your sakes, so that in us you may learn not to exceed what is written, so that no one of you will become arrogant in behalf of one against the other.

nasb@1Corinthians:4:8 @You are already filled, you have already become rich, you have become kings without us; and indeed, I wish that you had become kings so that we also might reign with you.

nasb@1Corinthians:4:10 @We are fools for Christ's sake, but you are prudent in Christ; we are weak, but you are strong; you are distinguished, but we are without honor.

nasb@1Corinthians:4:11 @To this present hour we are both hungry and thirsty, and are poorly clothed, and are roughly treated, and are homeless;

nasb@1Corinthians:4:14 @I do not write these things to shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved children.

nasb@1Corinthians:4:15 @For if you were to have countless tutors in Christ, yet you would not have many fathers, for in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel.

nasb@1Corinthians:4:17 @For this reason I have sent to you Timothy, who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, and he will remind you of my ways which are in Christ, just as I teach everywhere in every church.

nasb@1Corinthians:4:20 @For the kingdom of God does not consist in words but in power.

nasb@1Corinthians:5:1 @It is actually reported that there is immorality among you, and immorality of such a kind as does not exist even among the Gentiles, that someone has his father's wife.

nasb@1Corinthians:5:2 @You have become arrogant and have not mourned instead, so that the one who had done this deed would be removed from your midst.

nasb@1Corinthians:5:3 @For I, on my part, though absent in body but present in spirit, have already judged him who has so committed this, as though I were present.

nasb@1Corinthians:5:5 @I have decided to deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of his flesh, so that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

nasb@1Corinthians:5:6 @Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump of dough?

nasb@1Corinthians:5:7 @Clean out the old leaven so that you may be a new lump, just as you are in fact unleavened. For Christ our Passover also has been sacrificed.

nasb@1Corinthians:5:10 @I did not at all mean with the immoral people of this world, or with the covetous and swindlers, or with idolaters, for then you would have to go out of the world.

nasb@1Corinthians:5:11 @But actually, I wrote to you not to associate with any so-called brother if he is an immoral person, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler--not even to eat with such a one.

nasb@1Corinthians:6:1 @Does any one of you, when he has a case against his neighbor, dare to go to law before the unrighteous and not before the saints?

nasb@1Corinthians:6:2 @Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world? If the world is judged by you, are you not competent to constitute the smallest law courts?

nasb@1Corinthians:6:3 @Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more matters of this life?

nasb@1Corinthians:6:4 @So if you have law courts dealing with matters of this life, do you appoint them as judges who are of no account in the church?

nasb@1Corinthians:6:5 @I say this to your shame. Is it so, that there is not among you one wise man who will be able to decide between his brethren,

nasb@1Corinthians:6:7 @Actually, then, it is already a defeat for you, that you have lawsuits with one another. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be defrauded?

nasb@1Corinthians:6:8 @On the contrary, you yourselves wrong and defraud. You do this even to your brethren.

nasb@1Corinthians:6:11 @Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.

nasb@1Corinthians:6:13 @Food is for the stomach and the stomach is for food, but God will do away with both of them. Yet the body is not for immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord is for the body.

nasb@1Corinthians:6:14 @Now God has not only raised the Lord, but will also raise us up through His power.

nasb@1Corinthians:6:15 @Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take away the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? May it never be!

nasb@1Corinthians:6:16 @Or do you not know that the one who joins himself to a prostitute is one body with her? For He says, " THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH."

nasb@1Corinthians:6:17 @But the one who joins himself to the Lord is one spirit with Him.

nasb@1Corinthians:6:18 @Flee immorality. Every other sin that a man commits is outside the body, but the immoral man sins against his own body.

nasb@1Corinthians:6:19 @Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own?

nasb@1Corinthians:7:1 @Now concerning the things about which you wrote, it is good for a man not to touch a woman.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:2 @But because of immoralities, each man is to have his own wife, and each woman is to have her own husband.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:3 @The husband must fulfill his duty to his wife, and likewise also the wife to her husband.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:4 @The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does; and likewise also the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:6 @But this I say by way of concession, not of command.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:7 @Yet I wish that all men were even as I myself am. However, each man has his own gift from God, one in this manner, and another in that.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:8 @But I say to the unmarried and to widows that it is good for them if they remain even as I.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:9 @But if they do not have self-control, let them marry; for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:11 @(but if she does leave, she must remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband), and that the husband should not divorce his wife.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:12 @But to the rest I say, not the Lord, that if any brother has a wife who is an unbeliever, and she consents to live with him, he must not divorce her.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:14 @For the unbelieving husband is sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified through her believing husband; for otherwise your children are unclean, but now they are holy.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:15 @Yet if the unbelieving one leaves, let him leave; the brother or the sister is not under bondage in such cases, but God has called us to peace.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:17 @Only, as the Lord has assigned to each one, as God has called each, in this manner let him walk. And so I direct in all the churches.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:18 @Was any man called when he was already circumcised? He is not to become uncircumcised. Has anyone been called in uncircumcision? He is not to be circumcised.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:19 @Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but what matters is the keeping of the commandments of God.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:22 @For he who was called in the Lord while a slave, is the Lord's freedman; likewise he who was called while free, is Christ's slave.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:24 @Brethren, each one is to remain with God in that condition in which he was called.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:25 @Now concerning virgins I have no command of the Lord, but I give an opinion as one who by the mercy of the Lord is trustworthy.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:26 @I think then that this is good in view of the present distress, that it is good for a man to remain as he is.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:28 @But if you marry, you have not sinned; and if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. Yet such will have trouble in this life, and I am trying to spare you.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:29 @But this I say, brethren, the time has been shortened, so that from now on those who have wives should be as though they had none;

nasb@1Corinthians:7:31 @and those who use the world, as though they did not make full use of it; for the form of this world is passing away.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:32 @But I want you to be free from concern. One who is unmarried is concerned about the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord;

nasb@1Corinthians:7:33 @but one who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how he may please his wife,

nasb@1Corinthians:7:34 @and his interests are divided. The woman who is unmarried, and the virgin, is concerned about the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and spirit; but one who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how she may please her husband.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:35 @This I say for your own benefit; not to put a restraint upon you, but to promote what is appropriate and to secure undistracted devotion to the Lord.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:36 @But if any man thinks that he is acting unbecomingly toward his virgin daughter, if she is past her youth, and if it must be so, let him do what he wishes, he does not sin; let her marry.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:37 @But he who stands firm in his heart, being under no constraint, but has authority over his own will, and has decided this in his own heart, to keep his own virgin daughter, he will do well.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:38 @So then both he who gives his own virgin daughter in marriage does well, and he who does not give her in marriage will do better.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:39 @A wife is bound as long as her husband lives; but if her husband is dead, she is free to be married to whom she wishes, only in the Lord.

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

nasb@1Corinthians:8:3 @but if anyone loves God, he is known by Him.

nasb@1Corinthians:8:4 @Therefore concerning the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that there is no such thing as an idol in the world, and that there is no God but one.

nasb@1Corinthians:8:6 @yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom are all things and we exist for Him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we exist through Him.

nasb@1Corinthians:8:7 @However not all men have this knowledge; but some, being accustomed to the idol until now, eat food as if it were sacrificed to an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled.

nasb@1Corinthians:8:9 @But take care that this liberty of yours does not somehow become a stumbling block to the weak.

nasb@1Corinthians:8:10 @For if someone sees you, who have knowledge, dining in an idol's temple, will not his conscience, if he is weak, be strengthened to eat things sacrificed to idols?

nasb@1Corinthians:8:11 @For through your knowledge he who is weak is ruined, the brother for whose sake Christ died.

nasb@1Corinthians:8:12 @And so, by sinning against the brethren and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ.

nasb@1Corinthians:9:3 @My defense to those who examine me is this-

nasb@1Corinthians:9:7 @Who at any time serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat the fruit of it? Or who tends a flock and does not use the milk of the flock?

nasb@1Corinthians:9:9 @For it is written in the Law of Moses, " YOU SHALL NOT MUZZLE THE OX WHILE HE IS THRESHING." God is not concerned about oxen, is He?

nasb@1Corinthians:9:10 @Or is He speaking altogether for our sake? Yes, for our sake it was written, because the plowman ought to plow in hope, and the thresher to thresh in hope of sharing the crops.

nasb@1Corinthians:9:11 @If we sowed spiritual things in you, is it too much if we reap material things from you?

nasb@1Corinthians:9:12 @If others share the right over you, do we not more? Nevertheless, we did not use this right, but we endure all things so that we will cause no hindrance to the gospel of Christ.

nasb@1Corinthians:9:16 @For if I preach the gospel, I have nothing to boast of, for I am under compulsion; for woe is me if I do not preach the gospel.

nasb@1Corinthians:9:17 @For if I do this voluntarily, I have a reward; but if against my will, I have a stewardship entrusted to me.

nasb@1Corinthians:9:18 @What then is my reward? That, when I preach the gospel, I may offer the gospel without charge, so as not to make full use of my right in the gospel.

nasb@1Corinthians:9:21 @to those who are without law, as without law, though not being without the law of God but under the law of Christ, so that I might win those who are without law.

nasb@1Corinthians:9:25 @Everyone who competes in the games exercises self-control in all things. They then do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable.

nasb@1Corinthians:9:27 @but I discipline my body and make it my slave, so that, after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified.

nasb@1Corinthians:10:4 @and all drank the same spiritual drink, for they were drinking from a spiritual rock which followed them; and the rock was Christ.

nasb@1Corinthians:10:7 @Do not be idolaters, as some of them were; as it is written, " THE PEOPLE SAT DOWN TO EAT AND DRINK, AND STOOD UP TO PLAY."

nasb@1Corinthians:10:13 @No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it.

nasb@1Corinthians:10:15 @I speak as to wise men; you judge what I say.

nasb@1Corinthians:10:16 @Is not the cup of blessing which we bless a sharing in the blood of Christ? Is not the bread which we break a sharing in the body of Christ?

nasb@1Corinthians:10:17 @Since there is one bread, we who are many are one body; for we all partake of the one bread.

nasb@1Corinthians:10:18 @Look at the nation Israel; are not those who eat the sacrifices sharers in the altar?

nasb@1Corinthians:10:19 @What do I mean then? That a thing sacrificed to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything?

nasb@1Corinthians:10:24 @Let no one seek his own good, but that of his neighbor.

nasb@1Corinthians:10:25 @Eat anything that is sold in the meat market without asking questions for conscience' sake;

nasb@1Corinthians:10:26 @FOR THE EARTH IS THE LORD'S, AND ALL IT CONTAINS.

nasb@1Corinthians:10:27 @If one of the unbelievers invites you and you want to go, eat anything that is set before you without asking questions for conscience' sake.

nasb@1Corinthians:10:28 @But if anyone says to you, "This is meat sacrificed to idols," do not eat it, for the sake of the one who informed you, and for conscience' sake;

nasb@1Corinthians:10:29 @I mean not your own conscience, but the other man's; for why is my freedom judged by another's conscience?

nasb@1Corinthians:11:1 @Be imitators of me, just as I also am of Christ.

nasb@1Corinthians:11:2 @Now I praise you because you remember me in everything and hold firmly to the traditions, just as I delivered them to you.

nasb@1Corinthians:11:3 @But I want you to understand that Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman, and God is the head of Christ.

nasb@1Corinthians:11:4 @Every man who has something on his head while praying or prophesying disgraces his head.

nasb@1Corinthians:11:5 @But every woman who has her head uncovered while praying or prophesying disgraces her head, for she is one and the same as the woman whose head is shaved.

nasb@1Corinthians:11:6 @For if a woman does not cover her head, let her also have her hair cut off; but if it is disgraceful for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, let her cover her head.

nasb@1Corinthians:11:7 @For a man ought not to have his head covered, since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man.

nasb@1Corinthians:11:11 @However, in the Lord, neither is woman independent of man, nor is man independent of woman.

nasb@1Corinthians:11:12 @For as the woman originates from the man, so also the man has his birth through the woman; and all things originate from God.

nasb@1Corinthians:11:13 @Judge for yourselves- is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?

nasb@1Corinthians:11:14 @Does not even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him,

nasb@1Corinthians:11:15 @but if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her? For her hair is given to her for a covering.

nasb@1Corinthians:11:16 @But if one is inclined to be contentious, we have no other practice, nor have the churches of God.

nasb@1Corinthians:11:17 @But in giving this instruction, I do not praise you, because you come together not for the better but for the worse.

nasb@1Corinthians:11:18 @For, in the first place, when you come together as a church, I hear that divisions exist among you; and in part I believe it.

nasb@1Corinthians:11:20 @Therefore when you meet together, it is not to eat the Lord's Supper,

nasb@1Corinthians:11:21 @for in your eating each one takes his own supper first; and one is hungry and another is drunk.

nasb@1Corinthians:11:22 @What! Do you not have houses in which to eat and drink? Or do you despise the church of God and shame those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you? In this I will not praise you.

nasb@1Corinthians:11:24 @and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, "This is My body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me."

nasb@1Corinthians:11:25 @In the same way He took the cup also after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me."

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

nasb@1Corinthians:11:28 @But a man must examine himself, and in so doing he is to eat of the bread and drink of the cup.

nasb@1Corinthians:11:30 @For this reason many among you are weak and sick, and a number sleep.

nasb@1Corinthians:11:32 @But when we are judged, we are disciplined by the Lord so that we will not be condemned along with the world.

nasb@1Corinthians:11:34 @If anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, so that you will not come together for judgment. The remaining matters I will arrange when I come.

nasb@1Corinthians:12:3 @Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God says, "Jesus is accursed"; and no one can say, "Jesus is Lord," except by the Holy Spirit.

nasb@1Corinthians:12:5 @And there are varieties of ministries, and the same Lord.

nasb@1Corinthians:12:7 @But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.

nasb@1Corinthians:12:8 @For to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit;

nasb@1Corinthians:12:10 @and to another the effecting of miracles, and to another prophecy, and to another the distinguishing of spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, and to another the interpretation of tongues.

nasb@1Corinthians:12:11 @But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually just as He wills.

nasb@1Corinthians:12:12 @For even as the body is one and yet has many members, and all the members of the body, though they are many, are one body, so also is Christ.

nasb@1Corinthians:12:14 @For the body is not one member, but many.

nasb@1Corinthians:12:15 @If the foot says, "Because I am not a hand, I am not a part of the body," it is not for this reason any the less a part of the body.

nasb@1Corinthians:12:16 @And if the ear says, "Because I am not an eye, I am not a part of the body," it is not for this reason any the less a part of the body.

nasb@1Corinthians:12:22 @On the contrary, it is much truer that the members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary;

nasb@1Corinthians:12:25 @so that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another.

nasb@1Corinthians:12:26 @And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.

nasb@1Corinthians:12:27 @Now you are Christ's body, and individually members of it.

nasb@1Corinthians:12:28 @And God has appointed in the church, first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, various kinds of tongues.

nasb@1Corinthians:13:1 @If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.

nasb@1Corinthians:13:4 @Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant,

nasb@1Corinthians:13:5 @does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered,

nasb@1Corinthians:13:8 @Love never fails; but if there are gifts of prophecy, they will be done away; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away.

nasb@1Corinthians:13:11 @When I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, reason like a child; when I became a man, I did away with childish things.

nasb@1Corinthians:13:13 @But now faith, hope, love, abide these three; but the greatest of these is love.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:2 @For one who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God; for no one understands, but in his spirit he speaks mysteries.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:5 @Now I wish that you all spoke in tongues, but even more that you would prophesy; and greater is one who prophesies than one who speaks in tongues, unless he interprets, so that the church may receive edifying.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:7 @Yet even lifeless things, either flute or harp, in producing a sound, if they do not produce a distinction in the tones, how will it be known what is played on the flute or on the harp?

nasb@1Corinthians:14:8 @For if the bugle produces an indistinct sound, who will prepare himself for battle?

nasb@1Corinthians:14:9 @So also you, unless you utter by the tongue speech that is clear, how will it be known what is spoken? For you will be speaking into the air.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:10 @There are, perhaps, a great many kinds of languages in the world, and no kind is without meaning.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:14 @For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:15 @What is the outcome then? I will pray with the spirit and I will pray with the mind also; I will sing with the spirit and I will sing with the mind also.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:16 @Otherwise if you bless in the spirit only, how will the one who fills the place of the ungifted say the "Amen" at your giving of thanks, since he does not know what you are saying?

nasb@1Corinthians:14:17 @For you are giving thanks well enough, but the other person is not edified.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:21 @In the Law it is written, " BY MEN OF STRANGE TONGUES AND BY THE LIPS OF STRANGERS I WILL SPEAK TO THIS PEOPLE, AND EVEN SO THEY WILL NOT LISTEN TO ME," says the Lord.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:22 @So then tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe but to unbelievers; but prophecy is for a sign, not to unbelievers but to those who believe.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:24 @But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever or an ungifted man enters, he is convicted by all, he is called to account by all;

nasb@1Corinthians:14:25 @the secrets of his heart are disclosed; and so he will fall on his face and worship God, declaring that God is certainly among you.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:26 @What is the outcome then, brethren? When you assemble, each one has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has a tongue, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:28 @but if there is no interpreter, he must keep silent in the church; and let him speak to himself and to God.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:30 @But if a revelation is made to another who is seated, the first one must keep silent.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:33 @for God is not a God of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:35 @If they desire to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is improper for a woman to speak in church.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:37 @If anyone thinks he is a prophet or spiritual, let him recognize that the things which I write to you are the Lord's commandment.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:38 @But if anyone does not recognize this, he is not recognized.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:3 @For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,

nasb@1Corinthians:15:4 @and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,

nasb@1Corinthians:15:10 @But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me did not prove vain; but I labored even more than all of them, yet not I, but the grace of God with me.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:12 @Now if Christ is preached, that He has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?

nasb@1Corinthians:15:13 @But if there is no resurrection of the dead, not even Christ has been raised;

nasb@1Corinthians:15:14 @and if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is vain, your faith also is vain.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:15 @Moreover we are even found to be false witnesses of God, because we testified against God that He raised Christ, whom He did not raise, if in fact the dead are not raised.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:16 @For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised;

nasb@1Corinthians:15:17 @and if Christ has not been raised, your faith is worthless; you are still in your sins.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:18 @Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:19 @If we have hoped in Christ in this life only, we are of all men most to be pitied.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:20 @But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who are asleep.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:22 @For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:23 @But each in his own order- Christ the first fruits, after that those who are Christ's at His coming,

nasb@1Corinthians:15:24 @then comes the end, when He hands over the kingdom to the God and Father, when He has abolished all rule and all authority and power.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:25 @For He must reign until He has put all His enemies under His feet.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:26 @The last enemy that will be abolished is death.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:27 @For HE HAS PUT ALL THINGS IN SUBJECTION UNDER HIS FEET. But when He says, " All things are put in subjection," it is evident that He is excepted who put all things in subjection to Him.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:29 @Otherwise, what will those do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why then are they baptized for them?

nasb@1Corinthians:15:31 @I affirm, brethren, by the boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:32 @If from human motives I fought with wild beasts at Ephesus, what does it profit me? If the dead are not raised, LET US EAT AND DRINK, FOR TOMORROW WE DIE.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:34 @Become sober-minded as you ought, and stop sinning; for some have no knowledge of God. I speak this to your shame.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:35 @But someone will say, "How are the dead raised? And with what kind of body do they come?"

nasb@1Corinthians:15:37 @and that which you sow, you do not sow the body which is to be, but a bare grain, perhaps of wheat or of something else.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:38 @But God gives it a body just as He wished, and to each of the seeds a body of its own.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:39 @All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one flesh of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another flesh of birds, and another of fish.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:40 @There are also heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the glory of the heavenly is one, and the glory of the earthly is another.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:41 @There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for star differs from star in glory.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:42 @So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown a perishable body, it is raised an imperishable body;

nasb@1Corinthians:15:43 @it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power;

nasb@1Corinthians:15:44 @it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:45 @So also it is written, "The first MAN, Adam, BECAME A LIVING SOUL." The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:46 @However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural; then the spiritual.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:47 @The first man is from the earth, earthy; the second man is from heaven.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:48 @As is the earthy, so also are those who are earthy; and as is the heavenly, so also are those who are heavenly.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:50 @Now I say this, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:52 @in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:53 @For this perishable must put on the imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:54 @But when this perishable will have put on the imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then will come about the saying that is written, " DEATH IS SWALLOWED UP in victory.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:55" @ O DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR VICTORY? O DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR STING?"

nasb@1Corinthians:15:56 @The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law;

nasb@1Corinthians:15:57 @but thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:58 @Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in the Lord.

nasb@1Corinthians:16:2 @On the first day of every week each one of you is to put aside and save, as he may prosper, so that no collections be made when I come.

nasb@1Corinthians:16:4 @and if it is fitting for me to go also, they will go with me.

nasb@1Corinthians:16:7 @For I do not wish to see you now just in passing; for I hope to remain with you for some time, if the Lord permits.

nasb@1Corinthians:16:10 @Now if Timothy comes, see that he is with you without cause to be afraid, for he is doing the Lord's work, as I also am.

nasb@1Corinthians:16:11 @So let no one despise him. But send him on his way in peace, so that he may come to me; for I expect him with the brethren.

nasb@1Corinthians:16:12 @But concerning Apollos our brother, I encouraged him greatly to come to you with the brethren; and it was not at all his desire to come now, but he will come when he has opportunity.

nasb@1Corinthians:16:15 @Now I urge you, brethren (you know the household of Stephanas, that they were the first fruits of Achaia, and that they have devoted themselves for ministry to the saints),

nasb@1Corinthians:16:19 @The churches of Asia greet you. Aquila and Prisca greet you heartily in the Lord, with the church that is in their house.

nasb@1Corinthians:16:20 @All the brethren greet you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.

nasb@1Corinthians:16:21 @The greeting is in my own hand--Paul.

nasb@1Corinthians:16:22 @If anyone does not love the Lord, he is to be accursed. Maranatha.

nasb@1Corinthians:16:24 @My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.

nasb@2Corinthians:1:1 @Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, To the church of God which is at Corinth with all the saints who are throughout Achaia-

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

nasb@2Corinthians:1:3 @Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,

nasb@2Corinthians:1:5 @For just as the sufferings of Christ are ours in abundance, so also our comfort is abundant through Christ.

nasb@2Corinthians:1:6 @But if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; or if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which is effective in the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer;

nasb@2Corinthians:1:7 @and our hope for you is firmly grounded, knowing that as you are sharers of our sufferings, so also you are sharers of our comfort.

nasb@2Corinthians:1:9 @indeed, we had the sentence of death within ourselves so that we would not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead;

nasb@2Corinthians:1:12 @For our proud confidence is this- the testimony of our conscience, that in holiness and godly sincerity, not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God, we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially toward you.

nasb@2Corinthians:1:15 @In this confidence I intended at first to come to you, so that you might twice receive a blessing;

nasb@2Corinthians:1:16 @that is, to pass your way into Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come to you, and by you to be helped on my journey to Judea.

nasb@2Corinthians:1:17 @Therefore, I was not vacillating when I intended to do this, was I? Or what I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, so that with me there will be yes, yes and no, no at the same time?

nasb@2Corinthians:1:18 @But as God is faithful, our word to you is not yes and no.

nasb@2Corinthians:1:19 @For the Son of God, Christ Jesus, who was preached among you by us--by me and Silvanus and Timothy--was not yes and no, but is yes in Him.

nasb@2Corinthians:1:20 @For as many as are the promises of God, in Him they are yes; therefore also through Him is our Amen to the glory of God through us.

nasb@2Corinthians:1:21 @Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and anointed us is God,

nasb@2Corinthians:2:1 @But I determined this for my own sake, that I would not come to you in sorrow again.

nasb@2Corinthians:2:3 @This is the very thing I wrote you, so that when I came, I would not have sorrow from those who ought to make me rejoice; having confidence in you all that my joy would be the joy of you all.

nasb@2Corinthians:2:4 @For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote to you with many tears; not so that you would be made sorrowful, but that you might know the love which I have especially for you.

nasb@2Corinthians:2:6 @Sufficient for such a one is this punishment which was inflicted by the majority,

nasb@2Corinthians:2:7 @so that on the contrary you should rather forgive and comfort him, otherwise such a one might be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow.

nasb@2Corinthians:2:9 @For to this end also I wrote, so that I might put you to the test, whether you are obedient in all things.

nasb@2Corinthians:2:10 @But one whom you forgive anything, I forgive also; for indeed what I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, I did it for your sakes in the presence of Christ,

nasb@2Corinthians:2:11 @so that no advantage would be taken of us by Satan, for we are not ignorant of his schemes.

nasb@2Corinthians:2:12 @Now when I came to Troas for the gospel of Christ and when a door was opened for me in the Lord,

nasb@2Corinthians:2:14 @But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and manifests through us the sweet aroma of the knowledge of Him in every place.

nasb@2Corinthians:2:15 @For we are a fragrance of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing;

nasb@2Corinthians:2:16 @to the one an aroma from death to death, to the other an aroma from life to life. And who is adequate for these things?

nasb@2Corinthians:2:17 @For we are not like many, peddling the word of God, but as from sincerity, but as from God, we speak in Christ in the sight of God.

nasb@2Corinthians:3:3 @being manifested that you are a letter of Christ, cared for by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.

nasb@2Corinthians:3:4 @Such confidence we have through Christ toward God.

nasb@2Corinthians:3:5 @Not that we are adequate in ourselves to consider anything as coming from ourselves, but our adequacy is from God,

nasb@2Corinthians:3:7 @But if the ministry of death, in letters engraved on stones, came with glory, so that the sons of Israel could not look intently at the face of Moses because of the glory of his face, fading as it was,

nasb@2Corinthians:3:8 @how will the ministry of the Spirit fail to be even more with glory?

nasb@2Corinthians:3:9 @For if the ministry of condemnation has glory, much more does the ministry of righteousness abound in glory.

nasb@2Corinthians:3:10 @For indeed what had glory, in this case has no glory because of the glory that surpasses it.

nasb@2Corinthians:3:11 @For if that which fades away was with glory, much more that which remains is in glory.

nasb@2Corinthians:3:13 @and are not like Moses, who used to put a veil over his face so that the sons of Israel would not look intently at the end of what was fading away.

nasb@2Corinthians:3:14 @But their minds were hardened; for until this very day at the reading of the old covenant the same veil remains unlifted, because it is removed in Christ.

nasb@2Corinthians:3:15 @But to this day whenever Moses is read, a veil lies over their heart;

nasb@2Corinthians:3:16 @but whenever a person turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.

nasb@2Corinthians:3:17 @Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

nasb@2Corinthians:4:1 @Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we received mercy, we do not lose heart,

nasb@2Corinthians:4:3 @And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing,

nasb@2Corinthians:4:4 @in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.

nasb@2Corinthians:4:5 @For we do not preach ourselves but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your bond-servants for Jesus' sake.

nasb@2Corinthians:4:6 @For God, who said, " Light shall shine out of darkness," is the One who has shone in our hearts to give the Light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.

nasb@2Corinthians:4:7 @But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, so that the surpassing greatness of the power will be of God and not from ourselves;

nasb@2Corinthians:4:13 @But having the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, " I BELIEVED, THEREFORE I SPOKE," we also believe, therefore we also speak,

nasb@2Corinthians:4:14 @knowing that He who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus and will present us with you.

nasb@2Corinthians:4:15 @For all things are for your sakes, so that the grace which is spreading to more and more people may cause the giving of thanks to abound to the glory of God.

nasb@2Corinthians:4:16 @Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day.

nasb@2Corinthians:4:17 @For momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison,

nasb@2Corinthians:5:1 @For we know that if the earthly tent which is our house is torn down, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

nasb@2Corinthians:5:2 @For indeed in this house we groan, longing to be clothed with our dwelling from heaven,

nasb@2Corinthians:5:4 @For indeed while we are in this tent, we groan, being burdened, because we do not want to be unclothed but to be clothed, so that what is mortal will be swallowed up by life.

nasb@2Corinthians:5:5 @Now He who prepared us for this very purpose is God, who gave to us the Spirit as a pledge.

nasb@2Corinthians:5:10 @For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may be recompensed for his deeds in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.

nasb@2Corinthians:5:13 @For if we are beside ourselves, it is for God; if we are of sound mind, it is for you.

nasb@2Corinthians:5:14 @For the love of Christ controls us, having concluded this, that one died for all, therefore all died;

nasb@2Corinthians:5:16 @Therefore from now on we recognize no one according to the flesh; even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him in this way no longer.

nasb@2Corinthians:5:17 @Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.

nasb@2Corinthians:5:18 @Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation,

nasb@2Corinthians:5:19 @namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation.

nasb@2Corinthians:5:20 @Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making an appeal through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.

nasb@2Corinthians:6:2 @for He says, " AT THE ACCEPTABLE TIME I LISTENED TO YOU, AND ON THE DAY OF SALVATION I HELPED YOU." Behold, now is "THE ACCEPTABLE TIME," behold, now is "THE DAY OF SALVATION"--

nasb@2Corinthians:6:3 @giving no cause for offense in anything, so that the ministry will not be discredited,

nasb@2Corinthians:6:4 @but in everything commending ourselves as servants of God, in much endurance, in afflictions, in hardships, in distresses,

nasb@2Corinthians:6:5 @in beatings, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labors, in sleeplessness, in hunger,

nasb@2Corinthians:6:8 @by glory and dishonor, by evil report and good report; regarded as deceivers and yet true;

nasb@2Corinthians:6:9 @as unknown yet well-known, as dying yet behold, we live; as punished yet not put to death,

nasb@2Corinthians:6:11 @Our mouth has spoken freely to you, O Corinthians, our heart is opened wide.

nasb@2Corinthians:6:15 @Or what harmony has Christ with Belial, or what has a believer in common with an unbeliever?

nasb@2Corinthians:6:17" @ Therefore, COME OUT FROM THEIR MIDST AND BE SEPARATE," says the Lord. "AND DO NOT TOUCH WHAT IS UNCLEAN; And I will welcome you.

nasb@2Corinthians:7:1 @Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

nasb@2Corinthians:7:4 @Great is my confidence in you; great is my boasting on your behalf. I am filled with comfort; I am overflowing with joy in all our affliction.

nasb@2Corinthians:7:7 @and not only by his coming, but also by the comfort with which he was comforted in you, as he reported to us your longing, your mourning, your zeal for me; so that I rejoiced even more.

nasb@2Corinthians:7:10 @For the sorrow that is according to the will of God produces a repentance without regret, leading to salvation, but the sorrow of the world produces death.

nasb@2Corinthians:7:11 @For behold what earnestness this very thing, this godly sorrow, has produced in you- what vindication of yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what longing, what zeal, what avenging of wrong! In everything you demonstrated yourselves to be innocent in the matter.

nasb@2Corinthians:7:13 @For this reason we have been comforted. And besides our comfort, we rejoiced even much more for the joy of Titus, because his spirit has been refreshed by you all.

nasb@2Corinthians:7:15 @His affection abounds all the more toward you, as he remembers the obedience of you all, how you received him with fear and trembling.

nasb@2Corinthians:8:1 @Now, brethren, we wish to make known to you the grace of God which has been given in the churches of Macedonia,

nasb@2Corinthians:8:5 @and this, not as we had expected, but they first gave themselves to the Lord and to us by the will of God.

nasb@2Corinthians:8:6 @So we urged Titus that as he had previously made a beginning, so he would also complete in you this gracious work as well.

nasb@2Corinthians:8:7 @But just as you abound in everything, in faith and utterance and knowledge and in all earnestness and in the love we inspired in you, see that you abound in this gracious work also.

nasb@2Corinthians:8:8 @I am not speaking this as a command, but as proving through the earnestness of others the sincerity of your love also.

nasb@2Corinthians:8:9 @For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sake He became poor, so that you through His poverty might become rich.

nasb@2Corinthians:8:10 @I give my opinion in this matter, for this is to your advantage, who were the first to begin a year ago not only to do this, but also to desire to do it.

nasb@2Corinthians:8:11 @But now finish doing it also, so that just as there was the readiness to desire it, so there may be also the completion of it by your ability.

nasb@2Corinthians:8:12 @For if the readiness is present, it is acceptable according to what a person has, not according to what he does not have.

nasb@2Corinthians:8:13 @For this is not for the ease of others and for your affliction, but by way of equality--

nasb@2Corinthians:8:14 @at this present time your abundance being a supply for their need, so that their abundance also may become a supply for your need, that there may be equality;

nasb@2Corinthians:8:15 @as it is written, " HE WHO gathered MUCH DID NOT HAVE TOO MUCH, AND HE WHO gathered LITTLE HAD NO LACK."

nasb@2Corinthians:8:17 @For he not only accepted our appeal, but being himself very earnest, he has gone to you of his own accord.

nasb@2Corinthians:8:19 @and not only this, but he has also been appointed by the churches to travel with us in this gracious work, which is being administered by us for the glory of the Lord Himself, and to show our readiness,

nasb@2Corinthians:8:20 @taking precaution so that no one will discredit us in our administration of this generous gift;

nasb@2Corinthians:8:21 @for we have regard for what is honorable, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.

nasb@2Corinthians:8:22 @We have sent with them our brother, whom we have often tested and found diligent in many things, but now even more diligent because of his great confidence in you.

nasb@2Corinthians:8:23 @As for Titus, he is my partner and fellow worker among you; as for our brethren, they are messengers of the churches, a glory to Christ.

nasb@2Corinthians:9:1 @For it is superfluous for me to write to you about this ministry to the saints;

nasb@2Corinthians:9:3 @But I have sent the brethren, in order that our boasting about you may not be made empty in this case, so that, as I was saying, you may be prepared;

nasb@2Corinthians:9:4 @otherwise if any Macedonians come with me and find you unprepared, we--not to speak of you--will be put to shame by this confidence.

nasb@2Corinthians:9:5 @So I thought it necessary to urge the brethren that they would go on ahead to you and arrange beforehand your previously promised bountiful gift, so that the same would be ready as a bountiful gift and not affected by covetousness.

nasb@2Corinthians:9:6 @Now this I say, he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.

nasb@2Corinthians:9:7 @Each one must do just as he has purposed in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

nasb@2Corinthians:9:8 @And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that always having all sufficiency in everything, you may have an abundance for every good deed;

nasb@2Corinthians:9:9 @as it is written, " HE SCATTERED ABROAD, HE GAVE TO THE POOR, HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS ENDURES FOREVER."

nasb@2Corinthians:9:11 @you will be enriched in everything for all liberality, which through us is producing thanksgiving to God.

nasb@2Corinthians:9:12 @For the ministry of this service is not only fully supplying the needs of the saints, but is also overflowing through many thanksgivings to God.

nasb@2Corinthians:9:13 @Because of the proof given by this ministry, they will glorify God for your obedience to your confession of the gospel of Christ and for the liberality of your contribution to them and to all,

nasb@2Corinthians:9:15 @Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!

nasb@2Corinthians:10:1 @Now I, Paul, myself urge you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ--I who am meek when face to face with you, but bold toward you when absent!

nasb@2Corinthians:10:5 @We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ,

nasb@2Corinthians:10:6 @and we are ready to punish all disobedience, whenever your obedience is complete.

nasb@2Corinthians:10:7 @You are looking at things as they are outwardly. If anyone is confident in himself that he is Christ's, let him consider this again within himself, that just as he is Christ's, so also are we.

nasb@2Corinthians:10:9 @for I do not wish to seem as if I would terrify you by my letters.

nasb@2Corinthians:10:10 @For they say, "His letters are weighty and strong, but his personal presence is unimpressive and his speech contemptible."

nasb@2Corinthians:10:11 @Let such a person consider this, that what we are in word by letters when absent, such persons we are also in deed when present.

nasb@2Corinthians:10:14 @For we are not overextending ourselves, as if we did not reach to you, for we were the first to come even as far as you in the gospel of Christ;

nasb@2Corinthians:10:15 @not boasting beyond our measure, that is, in other men's labors, but with the hope that as your faith grows, we will be, within our sphere, enlarged even more by you,

nasb@2Corinthians:10:16 @so as to preach the gospel even to the regions beyond you, and not to boast in what has been accomplished in the sphere of another.

nasb@2Corinthians:10:17 @But HE WHO BOASTS IS TO BOAST IN THE LORD.

nasb@2Corinthians:10:18 @For it is not he who commends himself that is approved, but he whom the Lord commends.

nasb@2Corinthians:11:1 @I wish that you would bear with me in a little foolishness; but indeed you are bearing with me.

nasb@2Corinthians:11:2 @For I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy; for I betrothed you to one husband, so that to Christ I might present you as a pure virgin.

nasb@2Corinthians:11:3 @But I am afraid that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds will be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ.

nasb@2Corinthians:11:4 @For if one comes and preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted, you bear this beautifully.

nasb@2Corinthians:11:6 @But even if I am unskilled in speech, yet I am not so in knowledge; in fact, in every way we have made this evident to you in all things.

nasb@2Corinthians:11:10 @As the truth of Christ is in me, this boasting of mine will not be stopped in the regions of Achaia.

nasb@2Corinthians:11:13 @For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ.

nasb@2Corinthians:11:14 @No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.

nasb@2Corinthians:11:15 @Therefore it is not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their deeds.

nasb@2Corinthians:11:16 @Again I say, let no one think me foolish; but if you do, receive me even as foolish, so that I also may boast a little.

nasb@2Corinthians:11:17 @What I am saying, I am not saying as the Lord would, but as in foolishness, in this confidence of boasting.

nasb@2Corinthians:11:19 @For you, being so wise, tolerate the foolish gladly.

nasb@2Corinthians:11:21 @To my shame I must say that we have been weak by comparison. But in whatever respect anyone else is bold--I speak in foolishness--I am just as bold myself.

nasb@2Corinthians:11:22 @Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they descendants of Abraham? So am I.

nasb@2Corinthians:11:23 @Are they servants of Christ?--I speak as if insane--I more so; in far more labors, in far more imprisonments, beaten times without number, often in danger of death.

nasb@2Corinthians:11:28 @Apart from such external things, there is the daily pressure on me of concern for all the churches.

nasb@2Corinthians:11:29 @Who is weak without my being weak? Who is led into sin without my intense concern?

nasb@2Corinthians:11:31 @The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, He who is blessed forever, knows that I am not lying.

nasb@2Corinthians:11:33 @and I was let down in a basket through a window in the wall, and so escaped his hands.

nasb@2Corinthians:12:1 @Boasting is necessary, though it is not profitable; but I will go on to visions and revelations of the Lord.

nasb@2Corinthians:12:2 @I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago--whether in the body I do not know, or out of the body I do not know, God knows--such a man was caught up to the third heaven.

nasb@2Corinthians:12:4 @was caught up into Paradise and heard inexpressible words, which a man is not permitted to speak.

nasb@2Corinthians:12:6 @For if I do wish to boast I will not be foolish, for I will be speaking the truth; but I refrain from this, so that no one will credit me with more than he sees in me or hears from me.

nasb@2Corinthians:12:7 @Because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, for this reason, to keep me from exalting myself, there was given me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to torment me--to keep me from exalting myself!

nasb@2Corinthians:12:8 @Concerning this I implored the Lord three times that it might leave me.

nasb@2Corinthians:12:9 @And He has said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness." Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me.

nasb@2Corinthians:12:10 @Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties, for Christ's sake; for when I am weak, then I am strong.

nasb@2Corinthians:12:11 @I have become foolish; you yourselves compelled me. Actually I should have been commended by you, for in no respect was I inferior to the most eminent apostles, even though I am a nobody.

nasb@2Corinthians:12:13 @For in what respect were you treated as inferior to the rest of the churches, except that I myself did not become a burden to you? Forgive me this wrong!

nasb@2Corinthians:12:14 @Here for this third time I am ready to come to you, and I will not be a burden to you; for I do not seek what is yours, but you; for children are not responsible to save up for their parents, but parents for their children.

nasb@2Corinthians:12:19 @All this time you have been thinking that we are defending ourselves to you. Actually, it is in the sight of God that we have been speaking in Christ; and all for your upbuilding, beloved.

nasb@2Corinthians:12:20 @For I am afraid that perhaps when I come I may find you to be not what I wish and may be found by you to be not what you wish; that perhaps there will be strife, jealousy, angry tempers, disputes, slanders, gossip, arrogance, disturbances;

nasb@2Corinthians:13:1 @This is the third time I am coming to you. EVERY FACT IS TO BE CONFIRMED BY THE TESTIMONY OF TWO OR THREE WITNESSES.

nasb@2Corinthians:13:3 @since you are seeking for proof of the Christ who speaks in me, and who is not weak toward you, but mighty in you.

nasb@2Corinthians:13:5 @Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith; examine yourselves! Or do you not recognize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you--unless indeed you fail the test?

nasb@2Corinthians:13:7 @Now we pray to God that you do no wrong; not that we ourselves may appear approved, but that you may do what is right, even though we may appear unapproved.

nasb@2Corinthians:13:9 @For we rejoice when we ourselves are weak but you are strong; this we also pray for, that you be made complete.

nasb@2Corinthians:13:10 @For this reason I am writing these things while absent, so that when present I need not use severity, in accordance with the authority which the Lord gave me for building up and not for tearing down.

nasb@2Corinthians:13:12 @Greet one another with a holy kiss.

nasb@2Corinthians:13:14 @The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all.

nasb@Galatians:1:1 @Paul, an apostle ( not sent from men nor through the agency of man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised Him from the dead),

nasb@Galatians:1:3 @Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ,

nasb@Galatians:1:4 @who gave Himself for our sins so that He might rescue us from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father,

nasb@Galatians:1:6 @I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting Him who called you by the grace of Christ, for a different gospel;

nasb@Galatians:1:7 @which is really not another; only there are some who are disturbing you and want to distort the gospel of Christ.

nasb@Galatians:1:8 @But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed!

nasb@Galatians:1:9 @As we have said before, so I say again now, if any man is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, he is to be accursed!

nasb@Galatians:1:10 @For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a bond-servant of Christ.

nasb@Galatians:1:11 @For I would have you know, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man.

nasb@Galatians:1:12 @For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ.

nasb@Galatians:1:13 @For you have heard of my former manner of life in Judaism, how I used to persecute the church of God beyond measure and tried to destroy it;

nasb@Galatians:1:14 @and I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries among my countrymen, being more extremely zealous for my ancestral traditions.

nasb@Galatians:1:15 @But when God, who had set me apart even from my mother's womb and called me through His grace, was pleased

nasb@Galatians:1:16 @to reveal His Son in me so that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately consult with flesh and blood,

nasb@Galatians:1:22 @I was still unknown by sight to the churches of Judea which were in Christ;

nasb@Galatians:1:23 @but only, they kept hearing, "He who once persecuted us is now preaching the faith which he once tried to destroy."

nasb@Galatians:2:3 @But not even Titus, who was with me, though he was a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised.

nasb@Galatians:2:4 @But it was because of the false brethren secretly brought in, who had sneaked in to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, in order to bring us into bondage.

nasb@Galatians:2:7 @But on the contrary, seeing that I had been entrusted with the gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been to the circumcised

nasb@Galatians:2:8 @(for He who effectually worked for Peter in his apostleship to the circumcised effectually worked for me also to the Gentiles),

nasb@Galatians:2:9 @and recognizing the grace that had been given to me, James and Cephas and John, who were reputed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, so that we might go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised.

nasb@Galatians:2:11 @But when Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned.

nasb@Galatians:2:12 @For prior to the coming of certain men from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles; but when they came, he began to withdraw and hold himself aloof, fearing the party of the circumcision.

nasb@Galatians:2:13 @The rest of the Jews joined him in hypocrisy, with the result that even Barnabas was carried away by their hypocrisy.

nasb@Galatians:2:14 @But when I saw that they were not straightforward about the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas in the presence of all, "If you, being a Jew, live like the Gentiles and not like the Jews, how is it that you compel the Gentiles to live like Jews?

nasb@Galatians:2:16 @nevertheless knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the Law but through faith in Christ Jesus, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the Law; since by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified.

nasb@Galatians:2:17" @But if, while seeking to be justified in Christ, we ourselves have also been found sinners, is Christ then a minister of sin? May it never be!

nasb@Galatians:2:20" @I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.

nasb@Galatians:2:21" @I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness comes through the Law, then Christ died needlessly."

nasb@Galatians:3:1 @You foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified?

nasb@Galatians:3:2 @This is the only thing I want to find out from you- did you receive the Spirit by the works of the Law, or by hearing with faith?

nasb@Galatians:3:3 @Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh?

nasb@Galatians:3:7 @Therefore, be sure that it is those who are of faith who are sons of Abraham.

nasb@Galatians:3:11 @Now that no one is justified by the Law before God is evident; for, " THE RIGHTEOUS MAN SHALL LIVE BY FAITH."

nasb@Galatians:3:12 @However, the Law is not of faith; on the contrary, " HE WHO PRACTICES THEM SHALL LIVE BY THEM."

nasb@Galatians:3:13 @Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us--for it is written, " CURSED IS EVERYONE WHO HANGS ON A TREE"--

nasb@Galatians:3:14 @in order that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we would receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

nasb@Galatians:3:15 @Brethren, I speak in terms of human relations- even though it is only a man's covenant, yet when it has been ratified, no one sets it aside or adds conditions to it.

nasb@Galatians:3:16 @Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. He does not say, "And to seeds," as referring to many, but rather to one, " And to your seed," that is, Christ.

nasb@Galatians:3:17 @What I am saying is this- 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.

nasb@Galatians:3:18 @For if the inheritance is based on law, it is no longer based on a promise; but God has granted it to Abraham by means of a promise.

nasb@Galatians:3:19 @Why the Law then? It was added because of transgressions, having been ordained through angels by the agency of a mediator, until the seed would come to whom the promise had been made.

nasb@Galatians:3:20 @Now a mediator is not for one party only; whereas God is only one.

nasb@Galatians:3:21 @Is the Law then contrary to the promises of God? May it never be! For if a law had been given which was able to impart life, then righteousness would indeed have been based on law.

nasb@Galatians:3:22 @But the Scripture has shut up everyone under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.

nasb@Galatians:3:24 @Therefore the Law has become our tutor to lead us to Christ, so that we may be justified by faith.

nasb@Galatians:3:26 @For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.

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

nasb@Galatians:3:28 @There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

nasb@Galatians:3:29 @And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's descendants, heirs according to promise.

nasb@Galatians:4:1 @Now I say, as long as the heir is a child, he does not differ at all from a slave although he is owner of everything,

nasb@Galatians:4:2 @but he is under guardians and managers until the date set by the father.

nasb@Galatians:4:4 @But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law,

nasb@Galatians:4:6 @Because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, " Abba! Father!"

nasb@Galatians:4:9 @But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how is it that you turn back again to the weak and worthless elemental things, to which you desire to be enslaved all over again?

nasb@Galatians:4:14 @and that which was a trial to you in my bodily condition you did not despise or loathe, but you received me as an angel of God, as Christ Jesus Himself.

nasb@Galatians:4:15 @Where then is that sense of blessing you had? For I bear you witness that, if possible, you would have plucked out your eyes and given them to me.

nasb@Galatians:4:17 @They eagerly seek you, not commendably, but they wish to shut you out so that you will seek them.

nasb@Galatians:4:18 @But it is good always to be eagerly sought in a commendable manner, and not only when I am present with you.

nasb@Galatians:4:19 @My children, with whom I am again in labor until Christ is formed in you--

nasb@Galatians:4:20 @but I could wish to be present with you now and to change my tone, for I am perplexed about you.

nasb@Galatians:4:21 @Tell me, you who want to be under law, do you not listen to the law?

nasb@Galatians:4:22 @For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the bondwoman and one by the free woman.

nasb@Galatians:4:23 @But the son by the bondwoman was born according to the flesh, and the son by the free woman through the promise.

nasb@Galatians:4:24 @This is allegorically speaking, for these women are two covenants- one proceeding from Mount Sinai bearing children who are to be slaves; she is Hagar.

nasb@Galatians:4:25 @Now this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery with her children.

nasb@Galatians:4:26 @But the Jerusalem above is free; she is our mother.

nasb@Galatians:4:27 @For it is written, " REJOICE, BARREN WOMAN WHO DOES NOT BEAR; FORTH AND SHOUT, YOU WHO ARE NOT IN LABOR; FOR MORE NUMEROUS ARE THE CHILDREN OF THE DESOLATE THAN OF THE ONE WHO HAS A HUSBAND."

nasb@Galatians:4:28 @And you brethren, like Isaac, are children of promise.

nasb@Galatians:4:29 @But as at that time he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so it is now also.

nasb@Galatians:5:1 @It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery.

nasb@Galatians:5:2 @Behold I, Paul, say to you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will be of no benefit to you.

nasb@Galatians:5:3 @And I testify again to every man who receives circumcision, that he is under obligation to keep the whole Law.

nasb@Galatians:5:4 @You have been severed from Christ, you who are seeking to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace.

nasb@Galatians:5:6 @For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but faith working through love.

nasb@Galatians:5:8 @This persuasion did not come from Him who calls you.

nasb@Galatians:5:10 @I have confidence in you in the Lord that you will adopt no other view; but the one who is disturbing you will bear his judgment, whoever he is.

nasb@Galatians:5:11 @But I, brethren, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? Then the stumbling block of the cross has been abolished.

nasb@Galatians:5:12 @I wish that those who are troubling you would even mutilate themselves.

nasb@Galatians:5:14 @For the whole Law is fulfilled in one word, in the statement, " YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF."

nasb@Galatians:5:20 @idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions,

nasb@Galatians:5:22 @But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

nasb@Galatians:5:23 @gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.

nasb@Galatians:5:24 @Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

nasb@Galatians:6:1 @Brethren, even if anyone is caught in any trespass, you who are spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; each one looking to yourself, so that you too will not be tempted.

nasb@Galatians:6:2 @Bear one another's burdens, and thereby fulfill the law of Christ.

nasb@Galatians:6:3 @For if anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

nasb@Galatians:6:4 @But each one must examine his own work, and then he will have reason for boasting in regard to himself alone, and not in regard to another.

nasb@Galatians:6:5 @For each one will bear his own load.

nasb@Galatians:6:6 @The one who is taught the word is to share all good things with the one who teaches him.

nasb@Galatians:6:7 @Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap.

nasb@Galatians:6:8 @For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.

nasb@Galatians:6:12 @Those who desire to make a good showing in the flesh try to compel you to be circumcised, simply so that they will not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.

nasb@Galatians:6:13 @For those who are circumcised do not even keep the Law themselves, but they desire to have you circumcised so that they may boast in your flesh.

nasb@Galatians:6:14 @But may it never be that I would boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

nasb@Galatians:6:15 @For neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.

nasb@Galatians:6:16 @And those who will walk by this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God.

nasb@Galatians:6:18 @The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brethren. Amen.

nasb@Ephesians:1:1 @Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, To the saints who are at Ephesus and who are faithful in Christ Jesus-

nasb@Ephesians:1:2 @Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

nasb@Ephesians:1:3 @Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,

nasb@Ephesians:1:5 @He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will,

nasb@Ephesians:1:6 @to the praise of the glory of His grace, which He freely bestowed on us in the Beloved.

nasb@Ephesians:1:7 @In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace

nasb@Ephesians:1:8 @which He lavished on us. In all wisdom and insight

nasb@Ephesians:1:9 @He made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His kind intention which He purposed in Him

nasb@Ephesians:1:10 @with a view to an administration suitable to the fullness of the times, that is, the summing up of all things in Christ, things in the heavens and things on the earth. In Him

nasb@Ephesians:1:11 @also we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to His purpose who works all things after the counsel of His will,

nasb@Ephesians:1:12 @to the end that we who were the first to hope in Christ would be to the praise of His glory.

nasb@Ephesians:1:13 @In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation--having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise,

nasb@Ephesians:1:14 @who is given as a pledge of our inheritance, with a view to the redemption of God's own possession, to the praise of His glory.

nasb@Ephesians:1:15 @For this reason I too, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which exists among you and your love for all the saints,

nasb@Ephesians:1:17 @that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him.

nasb@Ephesians:1:18 @I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,

nasb@Ephesians:1:19 @and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of the strength of His might

nasb@Ephesians:1:20 @which He brought about in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places,

nasb@Ephesians:1:21 @far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come.

nasb@Ephesians:1:22 @And He put all things in subjection under His feet, and gave Him as head over all things to the church,

nasb@Ephesians:1:23 @which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.

nasb@Ephesians:2:2 @in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience.

nasb@Ephesians:2:4 @But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us,

nasb@Ephesians:2:5 @even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ ( by grace you have been saved),

nasb@Ephesians:2:6 @and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,

nasb@Ephesians:2:7 @so that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

nasb@Ephesians:2:8 @For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God;

nasb@Ephesians:2:10 @For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.

nasb@Ephesians:2:11 @Therefore remember that formerly you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called " Uncircumcision" by the so-called " Circumcision," which is performed in the flesh by human hands--

nasb@Ephesians:2:12 @remember that you were at that time separate from Christ, excluded from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world.

nasb@Ephesians:2:13 @But now in Christ Jesus you who formerly were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.

nasb@Ephesians:2:14 @For He Himself is our peace, who made both groups into one and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall,

nasb@Ephesians:2:15 @by abolishing in His flesh the enmity, which is the Law of commandments contained in ordinances, so that in Himself He might make the two into one new man, thus establishing peace,

nasb@Ephesians:2:20 @having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the corner stone,

nasb@Ephesians:2:21 @in whom the whole building, being fitted together, is growing into a holy temple in the Lord,

nasb@Ephesians:3:1 @For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles--

nasb@Ephesians:3:4 @By referring to this, when you read you can understand my insight into the mystery of Christ,

nasb@Ephesians:3:5 @which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed to His holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit;

nasb@Ephesians:3:6 @to be specific, that the Gentiles are fellow heirs and fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel,

nasb@Ephesians:3:7 @of which I was made a minister, according to the gift of God's grace which was given to me according to the working of His power.

nasb@Ephesians:3:8 @To me, the very least of all saints, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unfathomable riches of Christ,

nasb@Ephesians:3:9 @and to bring to light what is the administration of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in God who created all things;

nasb@Ephesians:3:10 @so that the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known through the church to the rulers and the authorities in the heavenly places.

nasb@Ephesians:3:11 @This was in accordance with the eternal purpose which He carried out in Christ Jesus our Lord,

nasb@Ephesians:3:14 @For this reason I bow my knees before the Father,

nasb@Ephesians:3:16 @that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man,

nasb@Ephesians:3:17 @so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and grounded in love,

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

nasb@Ephesians:3:19 @and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God.

nasb@Ephesians:3:20 @Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us,

nasb@Ephesians:3:21 @to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.

nasb@Ephesians:4:1 @Therefore I, the prisoner of the Lord, implore you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called,

nasb@Ephesians:4:4 @There is one body and one Spirit, just as also you were called in one hope of your calling;

nasb@Ephesians:4:5 @one Lord, one faith, one baptism,

nasb@Ephesians:4:6 @one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all.

nasb@Ephesians:4:7 @But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ's gift.

nasb@Ephesians:4:9 @(Now this expression, "He ascended," what does it mean except that He also had descended into the lower parts of the earth?

nasb@Ephesians:4:10 @He who descended is Himself also He who ascended far above all the heavens, so that He might fill all things.)

nasb@Ephesians:4:11 @And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers,

nasb@Ephesians:4:12 @for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ;

nasb@Ephesians:4:13 @until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ.

nasb@Ephesians:4:15 @but speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, even Christ,

nasb@Ephesians:4:17 @So this I say, and affirm together with the Lord, that you walk no longer just as the Gentiles also walk, in the futility of their mind,

nasb@Ephesians:4:18 @being darkened in their understanding, excluded from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardness of their heart;

nasb@Ephesians:4:20 @But you did not learn Christ in this way,

nasb@Ephesians:4:21 @if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught in Him, just as truth is in Jesus,

nasb@Ephesians:4:22 @that, in reference to your former manner of life, you lay aside the old self, which is being corrupted in accordance with the lusts of deceit,

nasb@Ephesians:4:25 @Therefore, laying aside falsehood, SPEAK TRUTH EACH ONE of you WITH HIS NEIGHBOR, for we are members of one another.

nasb@Ephesians:4:28 @He who steals must steal no longer; but rather he must labor, performing with his own hands what is good, so that he will have something to share with one who has need.

nasb@Ephesians:4:29 @Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification according to the need of the moment, so that it will give grace to those who hear.

nasb@Ephesians:4:32 @Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you.

nasb@Ephesians:5:2 @and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma.

nasb@Ephesians:5:3 @But immorality or any impurity or greed must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints;

nasb@Ephesians:5:5 @For this you know with certainty, that no immoral or impure person or covetous man, who is an idolater, has an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.

nasb@Ephesians:5:6 @Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.

nasb@Ephesians:5:9 @(for the fruit of the Light consists in all goodness and righteousness and truth),

nasb@Ephesians:5:10 @trying to learn what is pleasing to the Lord.

nasb@Ephesians:5:12 @for it is disgraceful even to speak of the things which are done by them in secret.

nasb@Ephesians:5:13 @But all things become visible when they are exposed by the light, for everything that becomes visible is light.

nasb@Ephesians:5:14 @For this reason it says, " Awake, sleeper, And arise from the dead, And Christ will shine on you."

nasb@Ephesians:5:15 @Therefore be careful how you walk, not as unwise men but as wise,

nasb@Ephesians:5:17 @So then do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.

nasb@Ephesians:5:18 @And do not get drunk with wine, for that is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit,

nasb@Ephesians:5:20 @always giving thanks for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father;

nasb@Ephesians:5:21 @and be subject to one another in the fear of Christ.

nasb@Ephesians:5:23 @For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the church, He Himself being the Savior of the body.

nasb@Ephesians:5:24 @But as the church is subject to Christ, so also the wives ought to be to their husbands in everything.

nasb@Ephesians:5:25 @Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her,

nasb@Ephesians:5:28 @So husbands ought also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself;

nasb@Ephesians:5:29 @for no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ also does the church,

nasb@Ephesians:5:30 @because we are members of His body.

nasb@Ephesians:5:31 @FOR THIS REASON A MAN SHALL LEAVE HIS FATHER AND MOTHER AND SHALL BE JOINED TO HIS WIFE, AND THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH.

nasb@Ephesians:5:32 @This mystery is great; but I am speaking with reference to Christ and the church.

nasb@Ephesians:5:33 @Nevertheless, each individual among you also is to love his own wife even as himself, and the wife must see to it that she respects her husband.

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

nasb@Ephesians:6:2 @HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER (which is the first commandment with a promise),

nasb@Ephesians:6:4 @Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

nasb@Ephesians:6:5 @Slaves, be obedient to those who are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in the sincerity of your heart, as to Christ;

nasb@Ephesians:6:6 @not by way of eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart.

nasb@Ephesians:6:8 @knowing that whatever good thing each one does, this he will receive back from the Lord, whether slave or free.

nasb@Ephesians:6:9 @And masters, do the same things to them, and give up threatening, knowing that both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no partiality with Him.

nasb@Ephesians:6:10 @Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might.

nasb@Ephesians:6:12 @For 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 the heavenly places.

nasb@Ephesians:6:13 @Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm.

nasb@Ephesians:6:16 @in addition to all, taking up the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.

nasb@Ephesians:6:17 @And take THE HELMET OF SALVATION, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

nasb@Ephesians:6:18 @With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints,

nasb@Ephesians:6:21 @But that you also may know about my circumstances, how I am doing, Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, will make everything known to you.

nasb@Ephesians:6:22 @I have sent him to you for this very purpose, so that you may know about us, and that he may comfort your hearts.

nasb@Ephesians:6:23 @Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

nasb@Ephesians:6:24 @Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ with incorruptible love.

nasb@Philippians:1:1 @Paul and Timothy, bond-servants of Christ Jesus, To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, including the overseers and deacons-

nasb@Philippians:1:2 @Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

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

nasb@Philippians:1:7 @For it is only right for me to feel this way about you all, because I have you in my heart, since both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers of grace with me.

nasb@Philippians:1:8 @For God is my witness, how I long for you all with the affection of Christ Jesus.

nasb@Philippians:1:9 @And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in real knowledge and all discernment,

nasb@Philippians:1:10 @so that you may approve the things that are excellent, in order to be sincere and blameless until the day of Christ;

nasb@Philippians:1:11 @having been filled with the fruit of righteousness which comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

nasb@Philippians:1:13 @so that my imprisonment in the cause of Christ has become well known throughout the whole praetorian guard and to everyone else,

nasb@Philippians:1:14 @and that most of the brethren, trusting in the Lord because of my imprisonment, have far more courage to speak the word of God without fear.

nasb@Philippians:1:15 @Some, to be sure, are preaching Christ even from envy and strife, but some also from good will;

nasb@Philippians:1:17 @the former proclaim Christ out of selfish ambition rather than from pure motives, thinking to cause me distress in my imprisonment.

nasb@Philippians:1:18 @What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed; and in this I rejoice. Yes, and I will rejoice,

nasb@Philippians:1:19 @for I know that this will turn out for my deliverance through your prayers and the provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

nasb@Philippians:1:20 @according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I will not be put to shame in anything, but that with all boldness, Christ will even now, as always, be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death.

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

nasb@Philippians:1:22 @But if I am to live on in the flesh, this will mean fruitful labor for me; and I do not know which to choose.

nasb@Philippians:1:23 @But I am hard-pressed from both directions, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, for that is very much better;

nasb@Philippians:1:24 @yet to remain on in the flesh is more necessary for your sake.

nasb@Philippians:1:25 @Convinced of this, I know that I will remain and continue with you all for your progress and joy in the faith,

nasb@Philippians:1:26 @so that your proud confidence in me may abound in Christ Jesus through my coming to you again.

nasb@Philippians:1:27 @Only conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or remain absent, I will hear of you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;

nasb@Philippians:1:28 @in no way alarmed by your opponents--which is a sign of destruction for them, but of salvation for you, and that too, from God.

nasb@Philippians:1:29 @For to you it has been granted for Christ's sake, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for His sake,

nasb@Philippians:2:1 @Therefore if there is any encouragement in Christ, if there is any consolation of love, if there is any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and compassion,

nasb@Philippians:2:3 @Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves;

nasb@Philippians:2:5 @Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus,

nasb@Philippians:2:6 @who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped,

nasb@Philippians:2:9 @For this reason also, God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name,

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

nasb@Philippians:2:13 @for it is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure.

nasb@Philippians:2:14 @Do all things without grumbling or disputing;

nasb@Philippians:2:16 @holding fast the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I will have reason to glory because I did not run in vain nor toil in vain.

nasb@Philippians:2:21 @For they all seek after their own interests, not those of Christ Jesus.

nasb@Philippians:2:22 @But you know of his proven worth, that he served with me in the furtherance of the gospel like a child serving his father.

nasb@Philippians:2:25 @But I thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and fellow worker and fellow soldier, who is also your messenger and minister to my need;

nasb@Philippians:2:26 @because he was longing for you all and was distressed because you had heard that he was sick.

nasb@Philippians:2:30 @because he came close to death for the work of Christ, risking his life to complete what was deficient in your service to me.

nasb@Philippians:3:1 @Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things again is no trouble to me, and it is a safeguard for you.

nasb@Philippians:3:2 @Beware of the dogs, beware of the evil workers, beware of the false circumcision;

nasb@Philippians:3:3 @for we are the true circumcision, who worship in the Spirit of God and glory in Christ Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh,

nasb@Philippians:3:5 @circumcised the eighth day, of the nation of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the Law, a Pharisee;

nasb@Philippians:3:6 @as to zeal, a persecutor of the church; as to the righteousness which is in the Law, found blameless.

nasb@Philippians:3:7 @But whatever things were gain to me, those things I have counted as loss for the sake of Christ.

nasb@Philippians:3:8 @More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish so that I may gain Christ,

nasb@Philippians:3:9 @and may be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own derived from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith,

nasb@Philippians:3:10 @that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death;

nasb@Philippians:3:12 @Not that I have already obtained it or have already become perfect, but I press on so that I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus.

nasb@Philippians:3:14 @I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

nasb@Philippians:3:15 @Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, have this attitude; and if in anything you have a different attitude, God will reveal that also to you;

nasb@Philippians:3:18 @For many walk, of whom I often told you, and now tell you even weeping, that they are enemies of the cross of Christ,

nasb@Philippians:3:19 @whose end is destruction, whose god is their appetite, and whose glory is in their shame, who set their minds on earthly things.

nasb@Philippians:3:20 @For our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ;

nasb@Philippians:3:21 @who will transform the body of our humble state into conformity with the body of His glory, by the exertion of the power that He has even to subject all things to Himself.

nasb@Philippians:4:1 @Therefore, my beloved brethren whom I long to see, my joy and crown, in this way stand firm in the Lord, my beloved.

nasb@Philippians:4:5 @Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near.

nasb@Philippians:4:7 @And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

nasb@Philippians:4:8 @Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things.

nasb@Philippians:4:19 @And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

nasb@Philippians:4:21 @Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren who are with me greet you.

nasb@Philippians:4:23 @The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.

nasb@Colossians:1:1 @Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother,

nasb@Colossians:1:2 @To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ who are at Colossae- Grace to you and peace from God our Father.

nasb@Colossians:1:3 @We give thanks to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,

nasb@Colossians:1:4 @since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and the love which you have for all the saints;

nasb@Colossians:1:6 @which has come to you, just as in all the world also it is constantly bearing fruit and increasing, even as it has been doing in you also since the day you heard of it and understood the grace of God in truth;

nasb@Colossians:1:7 @just as you learned it from Epaphras, our beloved fellow bond-servant, who is a faithful servant of Christ on our behalf,

nasb@Colossians:1:9 @For this reason also, since the day we heard of it, we have not ceased to pray for you and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,

nasb@Colossians:1:11 @strengthened with all power, according to His glorious might, for the attaining of all steadfastness and patience; joyously

nasb@Colossians:1:13 @For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son,

nasb@Colossians:1:15 @He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.

nasb@Colossians:1:16 @For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities-- all things have been created through Him and for Him.

nasb@Colossians:1:17 @He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.

nasb@Colossians:1:18 @He is also head of the body, the church; and He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that He Himself will come to have first place in everything.

nasb@Colossians:1:20 @and through Him to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace through the blood of His cross; through Him, I say, whether things on earth or things in heaven.

nasb@Colossians:1:22 @yet He has now reconciled you in His fleshly body through death, in order to present you before Him holy and blameless and beyond reproach--

nasb@Colossians:1:23 @if indeed you continue in the faith firmly established and steadfast, and not moved away from the hope of the gospel that you have heard, which was proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and of which I, Paul, was made a minister.

nasb@Colossians:1:24 @Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I do my share on behalf of His body, which is the church, in filling up what is lacking in Christ's afflictions.

nasb@Colossians:1:25 @Of this church I was made a minister according to the stewardship from God bestowed on me for your benefit, so that I might fully carry out the preaching of the word of God,

nasb@Colossians:1:26 @that is, the mystery which has been hidden from the past ages and generations, but has now been manifested to His saints,

nasb@Colossians:1:27 @to whom God willed to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

nasb@Colossians:1:28 @We proclaim Him, admonishing every man and teaching every man with all wisdom, so that we may present every man complete in Christ.

nasb@Colossians:1:29 @For this purpose also I labor, striving according to His power, which mightily works within me.

nasb@Colossians:2:2 @that their hearts may be encouraged, having been knit together in love, and attaining to all the wealth that comes from the full assurance of understanding, resulting in a true knowledge of God's mystery, that is, Christ Himself,

nasb@Colossians:2:3 @in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

nasb@Colossians:2:4 @I say this so that no one will delude you with persuasive argument.

nasb@Colossians:2:5 @For even though I am absent in body, nevertheless I am with you in spirit, rejoicing to see your good discipline and the stability of your faith in Christ.

nasb@Colossians:2:6 @Therefore as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him,

nasb@Colossians:2:7 @having been firmly rooted and now being built up in Him and established in your faith, just as you were instructed, and overflowing with gratitude.

nasb@Colossians:2:8 @See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Christ.

nasb@Colossians:2:10 @and in Him you have been made complete, and He is the head over all rule and authority;

nasb@Colossians:2:11 @and in Him you were also circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, in the removal of the body of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ;

nasb@Colossians:2:12 @having been buried with Him in baptism, in which you were also raised up with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead.

nasb@Colossians:2:13 @When you were dead in your transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He made you alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our transgressions,

nasb@Colossians:2:14 @having canceled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.

nasb@Colossians:2:15 @When He had disarmed the rulers and authorities, He made a public display of them, having triumphed over them through Him.

nasb@Colossians:2:16 @Therefore no one is to act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day--

nasb@Colossians:2:17 @things which are a mere shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ.

nasb@Colossians:2:18 @Let no one keep defrauding you of your prize by delighting in self-abasement and the worship of the angels, taking his stand on visions he has seen, inflated without cause by his fleshly mind,

nasb@Colossians:2:19 @and not holding fast to the head, from whom the entire body, being supplied and held together by the joints and ligaments, grows with a growth which is from God.

nasb@Colossians:2:20 @If you have died with Christ to the elementary principles of the world, why, as if you were living in the world, do you submit yourself to decrees, such as,

nasb@Colossians:2:22 @(which all refer to things destined to perish with use)--in accordance with the commandments and teachings of men?

nasb@Colossians:2:23 @These are matters which have, to be sure, the appearance of wisdom in self-made religion and self-abasement and severe treatment of the body, but are of no value against fleshly indulgence.

nasb@Colossians:3:1 @Therefore if you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.

nasb@Colossians:3:3 @For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

nasb@Colossians:3:4 @When Christ, who is our life, is revealed, then you also will be revealed with Him in glory.

nasb@Colossians:3:6 @For it is because of these things that the wrath of God will come upon the sons of disobedience,

nasb@Colossians:3:10 @and have put on the new self who is being renewed to a true knowledge according to the image of the One who created him--

nasb@Colossians:3:11 @a renewal in which there is no distinction between Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave and freeman, but Christ is all, and in all.

nasb@Colossians:3:14 @Beyond all these things put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity.

nasb@Colossians:3:15 @Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful.

nasb@Colossians:3:16 @Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God.

nasb@Colossians:3:18 @Wives, be subject to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.

nasb@Colossians:3:20 @Children, be obedient to your parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing to the Lord.

nasb@Colossians:3:24 @knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance. It is the Lord Christ whom you serve.

nasb@Colossians:4:3 @praying at the same time for us as well, that God will open up to us a door for the word, so that we may speak forth the mystery of Christ, for which I have also been imprisoned;

nasb@Colossians:4:5 @Conduct yourselves with wisdom toward outsiders, making the most of the opportunity.

nasb@Colossians:4:8 @For I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know about our circumstances and that he may encourage your hearts;

nasb@Colossians:4:9 @and with him Onesimus, our faithful and beloved brother, who is one of your number. They will inform you about the whole situation here.

nasb@Colossians:4:10 @Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner, sends you his greetings; and also Barnabas's cousin Mark (about whom you received instructions; if he comes to you, welcome him);

nasb@Colossians:4:11 @and also Jesus who is called Justus; these are the only fellow workers for the kingdom of God who are from the circumcision, and they have proved to be an encouragement to me.

nasb@Colossians:4:12 @Epaphras, who is one of your number, a bondslave of Jesus Christ, sends you his greetings, always laboring earnestly for you in his prayers, that you may stand perfect and fully assured in all the will of God.

nasb@Colossians:4:13 @For I testify for him that he has a deep concern for you and for those who are in Laodicea and Hierapolis.

nasb@Colossians:4:14 @Luke, the beloved physician, sends you his greetings, and also Demas.

nasb@Colossians:4:15 @Greet the brethren who are in Laodicea and also Nympha and the church that is in her house.

nasb@Colossians:4:16 @When this letter is read among you, have it also read in the church of the Laodiceans; and you, for your part read my letter that is coming from Laodicea.

nasb@Colossians:4:17 @Say to Archippus, "Take heed to the ministry which you have received in the Lord, that you may fulfill it."

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

nasb@1Thessalonians:1:1 @Paul and Silvanus and Timothy, To the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ- Grace to you and peace.

nasb@1Thessalonians:1:3 @constantly bearing in mind your work of faith and labor of love and steadfastness of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the presence of our God and Father,

nasb@1Thessalonians:1:4 @knowing, brethren beloved by God, His choice of you;

nasb@1Thessalonians:1:10 @and to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, that is Jesus, who rescues us from the wrath to come.

nasb@1Thessalonians:2:2 @but after we had already suffered and been mistreated in Philippi, as you know, we had the boldness in our God to speak to you the gospel of God amid much opposition.

nasb@1Thessalonians:2:5 @For we never came with flattering speech, as you know, nor with a pretext for greed-- God is witness--

nasb@1Thessalonians:2:6 @nor did we seek glory from men, either from you or from others, even though as apostles of Christ we might have asserted our authority.

nasb@1Thessalonians:2:10 @You are witnesses, and so is God, how devoutly and uprightly and blamelessly we behaved toward you believers;

nasb@1Thessalonians:2:11 @just as you know how we were exhorting and encouraging and imploring each one of you as a father would his own children,

nasb@1Thessalonians:2:12 @so that you would walk in a manner worthy of the God who calls you into His own kingdom and glory.

nasb@1Thessalonians:2:13 @For this reason we also constantly thank God that when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men, but for what it really is, the word of God, which also performs its work in you who believe.

nasb@1Thessalonians:2:14 @For you, brethren, became imitators of the churches of God in Christ Jesus that are in Judea, for you also endured the same sufferings at the hands of your own countrymen, even as they did from the Jews,

nasb@1Thessalonians:2:19 @For who is our hope or joy or crown of exultation? Is it not even you, in the presence of our Lord Jesus at His coming?

nasb@1Thessalonians:3:2 @and we sent Timothy, our brother and God's fellow worker in the gospel of Christ, to strengthen and encourage you as to your faith,

nasb@1Thessalonians:3:3 @so that no one would be disturbed by these afflictions; for you yourselves know that we have been destined for this.

nasb@1Thessalonians:3:5 @For this reason, when I could endure it no longer, I also sent to find out about your faith, for fear that the tempter might have tempted you, and our labor would be in vain.

nasb@1Thessalonians:3:7 @for this reason, brethren, in all our distress and affliction we were comforted about you through your faith;

nasb@1Thessalonians:3:10 @as we night and day keep praying most earnestly that we may see your face, and may complete what is lacking in your faith?

nasb@1Thessalonians:3:13 @so that He may establish your hearts without blame in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all His saints.

nasb@1Thessalonians:4:3 @For this is the will of God, your sanctification; that is, that you abstain from sexual immorality;

nasb@1Thessalonians:4:4 @that each of you know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor,

nasb@1Thessalonians:4:6 @and that no man transgress and defraud his brother in the matter because the Lord is the avenger in all these things, just as we also told you before and solemnly warned you.

nasb@1Thessalonians:4:8 @So, he who rejects this is not rejecting man but the God who gives His Holy Spirit to you.

nasb@1Thessalonians:4:15 @For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep.

nasb@1Thessalonians:4:16 @For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.

nasb@1Thessalonians:5:9 @For God has not destined us for wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

nasb@1Thessalonians:5:14 @We urge you, brethren, admonish the unruly, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with everyone.

nasb@1Thessalonians:5:15 @See that no one repays another with evil for evil, but always seek after that which is good for one another and for all people.

nasb@1Thessalonians:5:18 @in everything give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

nasb@1Thessalonians:5:20 @do not despise prophetic utterances.

nasb@1Thessalonians:5:21 @But examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good;

nasb@1Thessalonians:5:23 @Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved complete, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

nasb@1Thessalonians:5:24 @Faithful is He who calls you, and He also will bring it to pass.

nasb@1Thessalonians:5:26 @Greet all the brethren with a holy kiss.

nasb@1Thessalonians:5:27 @I adjure you by the Lord to have this letter read to all the brethren.

nasb@1Thessalonians:5:28 @The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

nasb@2Thessalonians:1:1 @Paul and Silvanus and Timothy, To the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ-

nasb@2Thessalonians:1:2 @Grace to you and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

nasb@2Thessalonians:1:3 @We ought always to give thanks to God for you, brethren, as is only fitting, because your faith is greatly enlarged, and the love of each one of you toward one another grows ever greater;

nasb@2Thessalonians:1:5 @This is a plain indication of God's righteous judgment so that you will be considered worthy of the kingdom of God, for which indeed you are suffering.

nasb@2Thessalonians:1:6 @For after all it is only just for God to repay with affliction those who afflict you,

nasb@2Thessalonians:1:7 @and to give relief to you who are afflicted and to us as well when the Lord Jesus will be revealed from heaven with His mighty angels in flaming fire,

nasb@2Thessalonians:1:9 @These will pay the penalty of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power,

nasb@2Thessalonians:1:10 @when He comes to be glorified in His saints on that day, and to be marveled at among all who have believed--for our testimony to you was believed.

nasb@2Thessalonians:1:11 @To this end also we pray for you always, that our God will count you worthy of your calling, and fulfill every desire for goodness and the work of faith with power,

nasb@2Thessalonians:1:12 @so that the name of our Lord Jesus will be glorified in you, and you in Him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

nasb@2Thessalonians:2:1 @Now we request you, brethren, with regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him,

nasb@2Thessalonians:2:2 @that you not be quickly shaken from your composure or be disturbed either by a spirit or a message or a letter as if from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come.

nasb@2Thessalonians:2:3 @Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction,

nasb@2Thessalonians:2:4 @who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God.

nasb@2Thessalonians:2:6 @And you know what restrains him now, so that in his time he will be revealed.

nasb@2Thessalonians:2:7 @For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he who now restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way.

nasb@2Thessalonians:2:8 @Then that lawless one will be revealed whom the Lord will slay with the breath of His mouth and bring to an end by the appearance of His coming;

nasb@2Thessalonians:2:9 @that is, the one whose coming is in accord with the activity of Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders,

nasb@2Thessalonians:2:10 @and with all the deception of wickedness for those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth so as to be saved.

nasb@2Thessalonians:2:11 @For this reason God will send upon them a deluding influence so that they will believe what is false,

nasb@2Thessalonians:2:14 @It was for this He called you through our gospel, that you may gain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

nasb@2Thessalonians:2:16 @Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us eternal comfort and good hope by grace,

nasb@2Thessalonians:3:3 @But the Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen and protect you from the evil one.

nasb@2Thessalonians:3:5 @May the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God and into the steadfastness of Christ.

nasb@2Thessalonians:3:6 @Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you keep away from every brother who leads an unruly life and not according to the tradition which you received from us.

nasb@2Thessalonians:3:7 @For you yourselves know how you ought to follow our example, because we did not act in an undisciplined manner among you,

nasb@2Thessalonians:3:9 @not because we do not have the right to this, but in order to offer ourselves as a model for you, so that you would follow our example.

nasb@2Thessalonians:3:10 @For even when we were with you, we used to give you this order- if anyone is not willing to work, then he is not to eat, either.

nasb@2Thessalonians:3:11 @For we hear that some among you are leading an undisciplined life, doing no work at all, but acting like busybodies.

nasb@2Thessalonians:3:12 @Now such persons we command and exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ to work in quiet fashion and eat their own bread.

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

nasb@2Thessalonians:3:15 @Yet do not regard him as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.

nasb@2Thessalonians:3:17 @I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand, and this is a distinguishing mark in every letter; this is the way I write.

nasb@2Thessalonians:3:18 @The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.

nasb@1Timothy:1:1 @Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus according to the commandment of God our Savior, and of Christ Jesus, who is our hope,

nasb@1Timothy:1:2 @To Timothy, my true child in the faith- Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

nasb@1Timothy:1:4 @nor to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which give rise to mere speculation rather than furthering the administration of God which is by faith.

nasb@1Timothy:1:5 @But the goal of our instruction is love from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.

nasb@1Timothy:1:6 @For some men, straying from these things, have turned aside to fruitless discussion,

nasb@1Timothy:1:8 @But we know that the Law is good, if one uses it lawfully,

nasb@1Timothy:1:9 @realizing the fact that law is not made for a righteous person, but for those who are lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers

nasb@1Timothy:1:10 @and immoral men and homosexuals and kidnappers and liars and perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound teaching,

nasb@1Timothy:1:12 @I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, because He considered me faithful, putting me into service,

nasb@1Timothy:1:14 @and the grace of our Lord was more than abundant, with the faith and love which are found in Christ Jesus.

nasb@1Timothy:1:15 @It is a trustworthy statement, deserving full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, among whom I am foremost of all.

nasb@1Timothy:1:16 @Yet for this reason I found mercy, so that in me as the foremost, Jesus Christ might demonstrate His perfect patience as an example for those who would believe in Him for eternal life.

nasb@1Timothy:1:17 @Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.

nasb@1Timothy:1:18 @This command I entrust to you, Timothy, my son, in accordance with the prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you fight the good fight,

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

nasb@1Timothy:2:5 @For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,

nasb@1Timothy:2:7 @For this I was appointed a preacher and an apostle ( I am telling the truth, I am not lying) as a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

nasb@1Timothy:2:8 @Therefore I want the men in every place to pray, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and dissension.

nasb@1Timothy:2:9 @Likewise, I want women to adorn themselves with proper clothing, modestly and discreetly, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly garments,

nasb@1Timothy:2:10 @but rather by means of good works, as is proper for women making a claim to godliness.

nasb@1Timothy:2:11 @A woman must quietly receive instruction with entire submissiveness.

nasb@1Timothy:2:12 @But I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet.

nasb@1Timothy:3:1 @It is a trustworthy statement- if any man aspires to the office of overseer, it is a fine work he desires to do.

nasb@1Timothy:3:4 @He must be one who manages his own household well, keeping his children under control with all dignity

nasb@1Timothy:3:5 @(but if a man does not know how to manage his own household, how will he take care of the church of God?),

nasb@1Timothy:3:8 @Deacons likewise must be men of dignity, not double-tongued, or addicted to much wine or fond of sordid gain,

nasb@1Timothy:3:11 @Women must likewise be dignified, not malicious gossips, but temperate, faithful in all things.

nasb@1Timothy:3:13 @For those who have served well as deacons obtain for themselves a high standing and great confidence in the faith that is in Christ Jesus.

nasb@1Timothy:3:15 @but in case I am delayed, I write so that you will know how one ought to conduct himself in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and support of the truth.

nasb@1Timothy:3:16 @By common confession, great is the mystery of godliness- He who was revealed in the flesh, Was vindicated in the Spirit, Seen by angels, Proclaimed among the nations, Believed on in the world, Taken up in glory.

nasb@1Timothy:4:2 @by means of the hypocrisy of liars seared in their own conscience as with a branding iron,

nasb@1Timothy:4:4 @For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with gratitude;

nasb@1Timothy:4:5 @for it is sanctified by means of the word of God and prayer.

nasb@1Timothy:4:6 @In pointing out these things to the brethren, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, constantly nourished on the words of the faith and of the sound doctrine which you have been following.

nasb@1Timothy:4:7 @But have nothing to do with worldly fables fit only for old women. On the other hand, discipline yourself for the purpose of godliness;

nasb@1Timothy:4:8 @for bodily discipline is only of little profit, but godliness is profitable for all things, since it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.

nasb@1Timothy:4:9 @It is a trustworthy statement deserving full acceptance.

nasb@1Timothy:4:10 @For it is for this we labor and strive, because we have fixed our hope on the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of believers.

nasb@1Timothy:4:16 @Pay close attention to yourself and to your teaching; persevere in these things, for as you do this you will ensure salvation both for yourself and for those who hear you.

nasb@1Timothy:5:2 @the older women as mothers, and the younger women as sisters, in all purity.

nasb@1Timothy:5:4 @but if any widow has children or grandchildren, they must first learn to practice piety in regard to their own family and to make some return to their parents; for this is acceptable in the sight of God.

nasb@1Timothy:5:5 @Now she who is a widow indeed and who has been left alone, has fixed her hope on God and continues in entreaties and prayers night and day.

nasb@1Timothy:5:6 @But she who gives herself to wanton pleasure is dead even while she lives.

nasb@1Timothy:5:8 @But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

nasb@1Timothy:5:9 @A widow is to be put on the list only if she is not less than sixty years old, having been the wife of one man,

nasb@1Timothy:5:10 @having a reputation for good works; and if she has brought up children, if she has shown hospitality to strangers, if she has washed the saints' feet, if she has assisted those in distress, and if she has devoted herself to every good work.

nasb@1Timothy:5:11 @But refuse to put younger widows on the list, for when they feel sensual desires in disregard of Christ, they want to get married,

nasb@1Timothy:5:16 @If any woman who is a believer has dependent widows, she must assist them and the church must not be burdened, so that it may assist those who are widows indeed.

nasb@1Timothy:5:18 @For the Scripture says, " YOU SHALL NOT MUZZLE THE OX WHILE HE IS THRESHING," and " The laborer is worthy of his wages."

nasb@1Timothy:5:19 @Do not receive an accusation against an elder except on the basis of two or three witnesses.

nasb@1Timothy:5:21 @I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus and of His chosen angels, to maintain these principles without bias, doing nothing in a spirit of partiality.

nasb@1Timothy:5:25 @Likewise also, deeds that are good are quite evident, and those which are otherwise cannot be concealed.

nasb@1Timothy:6:2 @Those who have believers as their masters must not be disrespectful to them because they are brethren, but must serve them all the more, because those who partake of the benefit are believers and beloved. Teach and preach these principles.

nasb@1Timothy:6:3 @If anyone advocates a different doctrine and does not agree with sound words, those of our Lord Jesus Christ, and with the doctrine conforming to godliness,

nasb@1Timothy:6:4 @he is conceited and understands nothing; but he has a morbid interest in controversial questions and disputes about words, out of which arise envy, strife, abusive language, evil suspicions,

nasb@1Timothy:6:6 @But godliness actually is a means of great gain when accompanied by contentment.

nasb@1Timothy:6:9 @But those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a snare and many foolish and harmful desires which plunge men into ruin and destruction.

nasb@1Timothy:6:10 @For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.

nasb@2Timothy:1:1 @Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, according to the promise of life in Christ Jesus,

nasb@2Timothy:1:2 @To Timothy, my beloved son- Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

nasb@2Timothy:1:5 @For I am mindful of the sincere faith within you, which first dwelt in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and I am sure that it is in you as well.

nasb@2Timothy:1:6 @For this reason I remind you to kindle afresh the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands.

nasb@2Timothy:1:7 @For God has not given us a spirit of timidity, but of power and love and discipline.

nasb@2Timothy:1:8 @Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord or of me His prisoner, but join with me in suffering for the gospel according to the power of God,

nasb@2Timothy:1:9 @who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was granted us in Christ Jesus from all eternity,

nasb@2Timothy:1:10 @but now has been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel,

nasb@2Timothy:1:12 @For this reason I also suffer these things, but I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed and I am convinced that He is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him until that day.

nasb@2Timothy:1:13 @Retain the standard of sound words which you have heard from me, in the faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.

nasb@2Timothy:2:1 @You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

nasb@2Timothy:2:3 @Suffer hardship with me, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.

nasb@2Timothy:2:4 @No soldier in active service entangles himself in the affairs of everyday life, so that he may please the one who enlisted him as a soldier.

nasb@2Timothy:2:6 @The hard-working farmer ought to be the first to receive his share of the crops.

nasb@2Timothy:2:8 @Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, descendant of David, according to my gospel,

nasb@2Timothy:2:9 @for which I suffer hardship even to imprisonment as a criminal; but the word of God is not imprisoned.

nasb@2Timothy:2:10 @For this reason I endure all things for the sake of those who are chosen, so that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus and with it eternal glory.

nasb@2Timothy:2:11 @It is a trustworthy statement- For if we died with Him, we will also live with Him;

nasb@2Timothy:2:14 @Remind them of these things, and solemnly charge them in the presence of God not to wrangle about words, which is useless and leads to the ruin of the hearers.

nasb@2Timothy:2:19 @Nevertheless, the firm foundation of God stands, having this seal, " The Lord knows those who are His," and, " Everyone who names the name of the Lord is to abstain from wickedness."

nasb@Titus:1:13 @This testimony is true. For this reason reprove them severely so that they may be sound in the faith,

nasb@Titus:1:14 @not paying attention to Jewish myths and commandments of men who turn away from the truth.

nasb@Titus:1:15 @To the pure, all things are pure; but to those who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure, but both their mind and their conscience are defiled.

nasb@Titus:3:3 @For we also once were foolish ourselves, disobedient, deceived, enslaved to various lusts and pleasures, spending our life in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another.

nasb@Titus:3:4 @But when the kindness of God our Savior and His love for mankind appeared,

nasb@Titus:3:5 @He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit,

nasb@Philemon:1:8 @Therefore, though I have enough confidence in Christ to order you to do what is proper,

nasb@Philemon:1:9 @yet for love's sake I rather appeal to you--since I am such a person as Paul, the aged, and now also a prisoner of Christ Jesus--

nasb@Philemon:1:10 @I appeal to you for my child Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my imprisonment,

nasb@Philemon:1:12 @I have sent him back to you in person, that is, sending my very heart,

nasb@Philemon:1:13 @whom I wished to keep with me, so that on your behalf he might minister to me in my imprisonment for the gospel;

nasb@Philemon:1:15 @For perhaps he was for this reason separated from you for a while, that you would have him back forever,

nasb@Philemon:1:19 @I, Paul, am writing this with my own hand, I will repay it ( not to mention to you that you owe to me even your own self as well).

nasb@Philemon:1:20 @Yes, brother, let me benefit from you in the Lord; refresh my heart in Christ.

nasb@Philemon:1:23 @Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, greets you,

nasb@Philemon:1:24 @as do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, Luke, my fellow workers.

nasb@Philemon:1:25 @The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.

nasb@Hebrews:1:2 @in these last days has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the world.

nasb@Hebrews:1:3 @And He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds all things by the word of His power. When He had made purification of sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

nasb@Hebrews:1:7 @And of the angels He says, " WHO MAKES HIS ANGELS WINDS, AND HIS MINISTERS A FLAME OF FIRE."

nasb@Hebrews:1:8 @But of the Son He says, " YOUR THRONE, O GOD, IS FOREVER AND EVER, AND THE RIGHTEOUS SCEPTER IS THE SCEPTER OF HIS KINGDOM.

nasb@Hebrews:1:11 @THEY WILL PERISH, BUT YOU REMAIN; AND THEY ALL WILL BECOME OLD LIKE A GARMENT,

nasb@Hebrews:1:14 @Are they not all ministering spirits, sent out to render service for the sake of those who will inherit salvationNULL

nasb@Hebrews:2:1 @For this reason we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away from it.

nasb@Hebrews:2:2 @For if the word spoken through angels proved unalterable, and every transgression and disobedience received a just penalty,

nasb@Hebrews:2:4 @God also testifying with them, both by signs and wonders and by various miracles and by gifts of the Holy Spirit according to His own will.

nasb@Hebrews:2:6 @But one has testified somewhere, saying, " WHAT IS MAN, THAT YOU REMEMBER HIM? OR THE SON OF MAN, THAT YOU ARE CONCERNED ABOUT HIM?

nasb@Hebrews:2:8 @YOU HAVE PUT ALL THINGS IN SUBJECTION UNDER HIS FEET." For in subjecting all things to him, He left nothing that is not subject to him. But now we do not yet see all things subjected to him.

nasb@Hebrews:2:11 @For both He who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are all from one Father; for which reason He is not ashamed to call them brethren,

nasb@Hebrews:2:12 @saying, " I WILL PROCLAIM YOUR NAME TO MY BRETHREN, IN THE MIDST OF THE CONGREGATION I WILL SING YOUR PRAISE."

nasb@Hebrews:2:14 @Therefore, since the children share in flesh and blood, He Himself likewise also partook of the same, that through death He might render powerless him who had the power of death, that is, the devil,

nasb@Hebrews:2:17 @Therefore, He had to be made like His brethren in all things, so that He might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.

nasb@Hebrews:2:18 @For since He Himself was tempted in that which He has suffered, He is able to come to the aid of those who are tempted.

nasb@Hebrews:3:2 @He was faithful to Him who appointed Him, as Moses also was in all His house.

nasb@Hebrews:3:4 @For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God.

nasb@Hebrews:3:5 @Now Moses was faithful in all His house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken later;

nasb@Hebrews:3:6 @but Christ was faithful as a Son over His house-- whose house we are, if we hold fast our confidence and the boast of our hope firm until the end.

nasb@Hebrews:3:7 @Therefore, just as the Holy Spirit says, " TODAY IF YOU HEAR HIS VOICE,

nasb@Hebrews:3:10" @ THEREFORE I WAS ANGRY WITH THIS GENERATION, AND SAID, 'THEY ALWAYS GO ASTRAY IN THEIR HEART, AND THEY DID NOT KNOW MY WAYS';

nasb@Hebrews:3:13 @But encourage one another day after day, as long as it is still called "Today," so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.

nasb@Hebrews:3:14 @For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our assurance firm until the end,

nasb@Hebrews:3:15 @while it is said, " TODAY IF YOU HEAR HIS VOICE, DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEARTS, AS WHEN THEY PROVOKED ME."

nasb@Hebrews:3:18 @And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who were disobedient?

nasb@Hebrews:4:1 @Therefore, let us fear if, while a promise remains of entering His rest, any one of you may seem to have come short of it.

nasb@Hebrews:4:3 @For we who have believed enter that rest, just as He has said, " AS I SWORE IN MY WRATH, THEY SHALL NOT ENTER MY REST," although His works were finished from the foundation of the world.

nasb@Hebrews:4:4 @For He has said somewhere concerning the seventh day- " AND GOD RESTED ON THE SEVENTH DAY FROM ALL HIS WORKS";

nasb@Hebrews:4:5 @and again in this passage, " THEY SHALL NOT ENTER MY REST."

nasb@Hebrews:4:6 @Therefore, since it remains for some to enter it, and those who formerly had good news preached to them failed to enter because of disobedience,

nasb@Hebrews:4:7 @He again fixes a certain day, "Today," saying through David after so long a time just as has been said before, " TODAY IF YOU HEAR HIS VOICE, DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEARTS."

nasb@Hebrews:4:10 @For the one who has entered His rest has himself also rested from his works, as God did from His.

nasb@Hebrews:4:11 @Therefore let us be diligent to enter that rest, so that no one will fall, through following the same example of disobedience.

nasb@Hebrews:4:12 @For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

nasb@Hebrews:4:13 @And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are open and laid bare to the eyes of Him with whom we have to do.

nasb@Hebrews:5:1 @For every high priest taken from among men is appointed on behalf of men in things pertaining to God, in order to offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins;

nasb@Hebrews:5:2 @he can deal gently with the ignorant and misguided, since he himself also is beset with weakness;

nasb@Hebrews:5:3 @and because of it he is obligated to offer sacrifices for sins, as for the people, so also for himself.

nasb@Hebrews:5:4 @And no one takes the honor to himself, but receives it when he is called by God, even as Aaron was.

nasb@Hebrews:5:5 @So also Christ did not glorify Himself so as to become a high priest, but He who said to Him, " YOU ARE MY SON, TODAY I HAVE BEGOTTEN YOU";

nasb@Hebrews:5:7 @In the days of His flesh, He offered up both prayers and supplications with loud crying and tears to the One able to save Him from death, and He was heard because of His piety.

nasb@Hebrews:5:11 @Concerning him we have much to say, and it is hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing.

nasb@Hebrews:5:12 @For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you have need again for someone to teach you the elementary principles of the oracles of God, and you have come to need milk and not solid food.

nasb@Hebrews:5:13 @For everyone who partakes only of milk is not accustomed to the word of righteousness, for he is an infant.

nasb@Hebrews:5:14 @But solid food is for the mature, who because of practice have their senses trained to discern good and evil.

nasb@Hebrews:6:1 @Therefore leaving the elementary teaching about the Christ, let us press on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God,

nasb@Hebrews:6:3 @And this we will do, if God permits.

nasb@Hebrews:6:6 @and then have fallen away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance, since they again crucify to themselves the Son of God and put Him to open shame.

nasb@Hebrews:6:7 @For ground that drinks the rain which often falls on it and brings forth vegetation useful to those for whose sake it is also tilled, receives a blessing from God;

nasb@Hebrews:6:8 @but if it yields thorns and thistles, it is worthless and close to being cursed, and it ends up being burned.

nasb@Hebrews:6:9 @But, beloved, we are convinced of better things concerning you, and things that accompany salvation, though we are speaking in this way.

nasb@Hebrews:6:10 @For God is not unjust so as to forget your work and the love which you have shown toward His name, in having ministered and in still ministering to the saints.

nasb@Hebrews:6:12 @so that you will not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

nasb@Hebrews:6:13 @For when God made the promise to Abraham, since He could swear by no one greater, He swore by Himself,

nasb@Hebrews:6:15 @And so, having patiently waited, he obtained the promise.

nasb@Hebrews:6:16 @For men swear by one greater than themselves, and with them an oath given as confirmation is an end of every dispute.

nasb@Hebrews:6:17 @In the same way God, desiring even more to show to the heirs of the promise the unchangeableness of His purpose, interposed with an oath,

nasb@Hebrews:6:18 @so that by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have taken refuge would have strong encouragement to take hold of the hope set before us.

nasb@Hebrews:6:19 @This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast and one which enters within the veil,

nasb@Hebrews:7:1 @For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the Most High God, who met Abraham as he was returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,

nasb@Hebrews:7:2 @to whom also Abraham apportioned a tenth part of all the spoils, was first of all, by the translation of his name, king of righteousness, and then also king of Salem, which is king of peace.

nasb@Hebrews:7:4 @Now observe how great this man was to whom Abraham, the patriarch, gave a tenth of the choicest spoils.

nasb@Hebrews:7:5 @And those indeed of the sons of Levi who receive the priest's office have commandment in the Law to collect a tenth from the people, that is, from their brethren, although these are descended from Abraham.

nasb@Hebrews:7:6 @But the one whose genealogy is not traced from them collected a tenth from Abraham and blessed the one who had the promises.

nasb@Hebrews:7:7 @But without any dispute the lesser is blessed by the greater.

nasb@Hebrews:7:8 @In this case mortal men receive tithes, but in that case one receives them, of whom it is witnessed that he lives on.

nasb@Hebrews:7:10 @for he was still in the loins of his father when Melchizedek met him.

nasb@Hebrews:7:11 @Now if perfection was through the Levitical priesthood (for on the basis of it the people received the Law), what further need was there for another priest to arise according to the order of Melchizedek, and not be designated according to the order of Aaron?

nasb@Hebrews:7:12 @For when the priesthood is changed, of necessity there takes place a change of law also.

nasb@Hebrews:7:14 @For it is evident that our Lord was descended from Judah, a tribe with reference to which Moses spoke nothing concerning priests.

nasb@Hebrews:7:15 @And this is clearer still, if another priest arises according to the likeness of Melchizedek,

nasb@Hebrews:7:16 @who has become such not on the basis of a law of physical requirement, but according to the power of an indestructible life.

nasb@Hebrews:7:17 @For it is attested of Him, " YOU ARE A PRIEST FOREVER ACCORDING TO THE ORDER OF MELCHIZEDEK."

nasb@Hebrews:7:18 @For, on the one hand, there is a setting aside of a former commandment because of its weakness and uselessness

nasb@Hebrews:7:19 @(for the Law made nothing perfect), and on the other hand there is a bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.

nasb@Hebrews:7:21 @(for they indeed became priests without an oath, but He with an oath through the One who said to Him, " THE LORD HAS SWORN AND WILL NOT CHANGE HIS MIND, 'YOU ARE A PRIEST FOREVER'");

nasb@Hebrews:7:23 @The former priests, on the one hand, existed in greater numbers because they were prevented by death from continuing,

nasb@Hebrews:7:24 @but Jesus, on the other hand, because He continues forever, holds His priesthood permanently.

nasb@Hebrews:7:25 @Therefore He is able also to save forever those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.

nasb@Hebrews:7:27 @who does not need daily, like those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for His own sins and then for the sins of the people, because this He did once for all when He offered up Himself.

nasb@Hebrews:8:1 @Now the main point in what has been said is this- we have such a high priest, who has taken His seat at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens,

nasb@Hebrews:8:2 @a minister in the sanctuary and in the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, not man.

nasb@Hebrews:8:3 @For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices; so it is necessary that this high priest also have something to offer.

nasb@Hebrews:8:6 @But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, by as much as He is also the mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted on better promises.

nasb@Hebrews:8:8 @For finding fault with them, He says, " BEHOLD, DAYS ARE COMING, SAYS THE LORD, WHEN I WILL EFFECT A NEW COVENANT WITH THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL AND WITH THE HOUSE OF JUDAH;

nasb@Hebrews:8:10" @ FOR THIS IS THE COVENANT THAT I WILL MAKE WITH THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL AFTER THOSE DAYS, SAYS THE LORD- I WILL PUT MY LAWS INTO THEIR MINDS, AND I WILL WRITE THEM ON THEIR HEARTS. AND I WILL BE THEIR GOD, AND THEY SHALL BE MY PEOPLE.

nasb@Hebrews:8:11" @ AND THEY SHALL NOT TEACH EVERYONE HIS FELLOW CITIZEN, AND EVERYONE HIS BROTHER, SAYING, 'KNOW THE LORD,' FOR ALL WILL KNOW ME, FROM THE LEAST TO THE GREATEST OF THEM.

nasb@Hebrews:8:13 @When He said, " A new covenant," He has made the first obsolete. But whatever is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to disappear.

nasb@Hebrews:9:2 @For there was a tabernacle prepared, the outer one, in which were the lampstand and the table and the sacred bread; this is called the holy place.

nasb@Hebrews:9:3 @Behind the second veil there was a tabernacle which is called the Holy of Holies,

nasb@Hebrews:9:8 @The Holy Spirit is signifying this, that the way into the holy place has not yet been disclosed while the outer tabernacle is still standing,

nasb@Hebrews:9:9 @which is a symbol for the present time. Accordingly both gifts and sacrifices are offered which cannot make the worshiper perfect in conscience,

nasb@Hebrews:9:11 @But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things to come, He entered through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation;

nasb@Hebrews:9:12 @and not through the blood of goats and calves, but through His own blood, He entered the holy place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption.

nasb@Hebrews:9:14 @how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

nasb@Hebrews:9:15 @For this reason He is the mediator of a new covenant, so that, since a death has taken place for the redemption of the transgressions that were committed under the first covenant, those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.

nasb@Hebrews:9:16 @For where a covenant is, there must of necessity be the death of the one who made it.

nasb@Hebrews:9:17 @For a covenant is valid only when men are dead, for it is never in force while the one who made it lives.

nasb@Hebrews:9:20 @saying, " THIS IS THE BLOOD OF THE COVENANT WHICH GOD COMMANDED YOU."

nasb@Hebrews:9:21 @And in the same way he sprinkled both the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry with the blood.

nasb@Hebrews:9:22 @And according to the Law, one may almost say, all things are cleansed with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.

nasb@Hebrews:9:24 @For Christ did not enter a holy place made with hands, a mere copy of the true one, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us;

nasb@Hebrews:9:25 @nor was it that He would offer Himself often, as the high priest enters the holy place year by year with blood that is not his own.

nasb@Hebrews:9:26 @Otherwise, He would have needed to suffer often since the foundation of the world; but now once at the consummation of the ages He has been manifested to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself.

nasb@Hebrews:9:27 @And inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment,

nasb@Hebrews:9:28 @so Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time for salvation without reference to sin, to those who eagerly await Him.

nasb@Hebrews:10:2 @Otherwise, would they not have ceased to be offered, because the worshipers, having once been cleansed, would no longer have had consciousness of sins?

nasb@Hebrews:10:3 @But in those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins year by year.

nasb@Hebrews:10:4 @For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.

nasb@Hebrews:10:9 @then He said, " BEHOLD, I HAVE COME TO DO YOUR WILL." He takes away the first in order to establish the second.

nasb@Hebrews:10:10 @By this will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

nasb@Hebrews:10:11 @Every priest stands daily ministering and offering time after time the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins;

nasb@Hebrews:10:16" @ THIS IS THE COVENANT THAT I WILL MAKE WITH THEM AFTER THOSE DAYS, SAYS THE LORD- I WILL PUT MY LAWS UPON THEIR HEART, AND ON THEIR MIND I WILL WRITE THEM," He then says,

nasb@Hebrews:10:18 @Now where there is forgiveness of these things, there is no longer any offering for sin.

nasb@Hebrews:10:20 @by a new and living way which He inaugurated for us through the veil, that is, His flesh,

nasb@Hebrews:10:23 @Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful;

nasb@Hebrews:10:25 @not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near.

nasb@Hebrews:10:29 @How much severer punishment do you think he will deserve who has trampled under foot the Son of God, and has regarded as unclean the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has insulted the Spirit of grace?

nasb@Hebrews:10:30 @For we know Him who said, " VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY." And again, " THE LORD WILL JUDGE HIS PEOPLE."

nasb@Hebrews:10:31 @It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

nasb@Hebrews:10:34 @For you showed sympathy to the prisoners and accepted joyfully the seizure of your property, knowing that you have for yourselves a better possession and a lasting one.

nasb@Hebrews:10:36 @For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God, you may receive what was promised.

nasb@Hebrews:10:37 @FOR YET IN A VERY LITTLE WHILE, HE WHO IS COMING WILL COME, AND WILL NOT DELAY.

nasb@Hebrews:11:1 @Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.

nasb@Hebrews:11:3 @By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible.

nasb@Hebrews:11:4 @By faith Abel offered to God a better sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained the testimony that he was righteous, God testifying about his gifts, and through faith, though he is dead, he still speaks.

nasb@Hebrews:11:5 @By faith Enoch was taken up so that he would not see death; AND HE WAS NOT FOUND BECAUSE GOD TOOK HIM UP; for he obtained the witness that before his being taken up he was pleasing to God.

nasb@Hebrews:11:6 @And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.

nasb@Hebrews:11:7 @By faith Noah, being warned by God about things not yet seen, in reverence prepared an ark for the salvation of his household, by which he condemned the world, and became an heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.

nasb@Hebrews:11:9 @By faith he lived as an alien in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, fellow heirs of the same promise;

nasb@Hebrews:11:10 @for he was looking for the city which has foundations, whose architect and builder is God.

nasb@Hebrews:11:11 @By faith even Sarah herself received ability to conceive, even beyond the proper time of life, since she considered Him faithful who had promised.

nasb@Hebrews:11:12 @Therefore there was born even of one man, and him as good as dead at that, as many descendants AS THE STARS OF HEAVEN IN NUMBER, AND INNUMERABLE AS THE SAND WHICH IS BY THE SEASHORE.

nasb@Hebrews:11:13 @All these died in faith, without receiving the promises, but having seen them and having welcomed them from a distance, and having confessed that they were strangers and exiles on the earth.

nasb@Hebrews:11:16 @But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God; for He has prepared a city for them.

nasb@Hebrews:11:17 @By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises was offering up his only begotten son;

nasb@Hebrews:11:18 @it was he to whom it was said, " IN ISAAC YOUR DESCENDANTS SHALL BE CALLED."

nasb@Hebrews:11:19 @He considered that God is able to raise people even from the dead, from which he also received him back as a type.

nasb@Hebrews:11:20 @By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau, even regarding things to come.

nasb@Hebrews:11:21 @By faith Jacob, as he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and worshiped, leaning on the top of his staff.

nasb@Hebrews:11:22 @By faith Joseph, when he was dying, made mention of the exodus of the sons of Israel, and gave orders concerning his bones.

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

nasb@Hebrews:11:26 @considering the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he was looking to the reward.

nasb@Hebrews:11:27 @By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured, as seeing Him who is unseen.

nasb@Hebrews:11:31 @By faith Rahab the harlot did not perish along with those who were disobedient, after she had welcomed the spies in peace.

nasb@Hebrews:11:33 @who by faith conquered kingdoms, performed acts of righteousness, obtained promises, shut the mouths of lions,

nasb@Hebrews:11:36 @and others experienced mockings and scourgings, yes, also chains and imprisonment.

nasb@Hebrews:11:39 @And all these, having gained approval through their faith, did not receive what was promised,

nasb@Hebrews:12:1 @Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,

nasb@Hebrews:12:2 @fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

nasb@Hebrews:12:4 @You have not yet resisted to the point of shedding blood in your striving against sin;

nasb@Hebrews:12:5 @and you have forgotten the exhortation which is addressed to you as sons, " MY SON, DO NOT REGARD LIGHTLY THE DISCIPLINE OF THE LORD, NOR FAINT WHEN YOU ARE REPROVED BY HIM;

nasb@Hebrews:12:6 @FOR THOSE WHOM THE LORD LOVES HE DISCIPLINES, AND HE SCOURGES EVERY SON WHOM HE RECEIVES."

nasb@Hebrews:12:7 @It is for discipline that you endure; God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom his father does not discipline?

nasb@Hebrews:12:8 @But if you are without discipline, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate children and not sons.

nasb@Hebrews:12:9 @Furthermore, we had earthly fathers to discipline us, and we respected them; shall we not much rather be subject to the Father of spirits, and live?

nasb@Hebrews:12:10 @For they disciplined us for a short time as seemed best to them, but He disciplines us for our good, so that we may share His holiness.

nasb@Hebrews:12:11 @All discipline for the moment seems not to be joyful, but sorrowful; yet to those who have been trained by it, afterwards it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness.

nasb@Hebrews:12:13 @and make straight paths for your feet, so that the limb which is lame may not be put out of joint, but rather be healed.

nasb@Hebrews:12:16 @that there be no immoral or godless person like Esau, who sold his own birthright for a single meal.

nasb@Hebrews:12:25 @See to it that you do not refuse Him who is speaking. For if those did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, much less will we escape who turn away from Him who warns from heaven.

nasb@Hebrews:12:26 @And His voice shook the earth then, but now He has promised, saying, " YET ONCE MORE I WILL SHAKE NOT ONLY THE EARTH, BUT ALSO THE HEAVEN."

nasb@Hebrews:12:27 @This expression, "Yet once more," denotes the removing of those things which can be shaken, as of created things, so that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.

nasb@Hebrews:12:29 @for our God is a consuming fire.

nasb@Hebrews:13:2 @Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by this some have entertained angels without knowing it.

nasb@Hebrews:13:3 @Remember the prisoners, as though in prison with them, and those who are ill-treated, since you yourselves also are in the body.

nasb@Hebrews:13:4 @Marriage is to be held in honor among all, and the marriage bed is to be undefiled; for fornicators and adulterers God will judge.

nasb@Hebrews:13:5 @Make sure that your character is free from the love of money, being content with what you have; for He Himself has said, " I WILL NEVER DESERT YOU, NOR WILL I EVER FORSAKE YOU,"

nasb@Hebrews:13:6 @so that we confidently say, " THE LORD IS MY HELPER, I WILL NOT BE AFRAID. WHAT WILL MAN DO TO ME?"

nasb@Hebrews:13:8 @Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

nasb@Hebrews:13:9 @Do not be carried away by varied and strange teachings; for it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace, not by foods, through which those who were so occupied were not benefited.

nasb@Hebrews:13:11 @For the bodies of those animals whose blood is brought into the holy place by the high priest as an offering for sin, are burned outside the camp.

nasb@Hebrews:13:12 @Therefore Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people through His own blood, suffered outside the gate.

nasb@Hebrews:13:13 @So, let us go out to Him outside the camp, bearing His reproach.

nasb@Hebrews:13:14 @For here we do not have a lasting city, but we are seeking the city which is to come.

nasb@Hebrews:13:15 @Through Him then, let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that give thanks to His name.

nasb@Hebrews:13:16 @And do not neglect doing good and sharing, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.

nasb@Hebrews:13:17 @Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they keep watch over your souls as those who will give an account. Let them do this with joy and not with grief, for this would be unprofitable for you.

nasb@Hebrews:13:19 @And I urge you all the more to do this, so that I may be restored to you the sooner.

nasb@Hebrews:13:21 @equip you in every good thing to do His will, working in us that which is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

nasb@Hebrews:13:22 @But I urge you, brethren, bear with this word of exhortation, for I have written to you briefly.

nasb@James:1:1 @James, a bond-servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes who are dispersed abroad- Greetings.

nasb@James:1:5 @But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

nasb@James:1:6 @But he must ask in faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind.

nasb@James:1:8 @being a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

nasb@James:1:9 @But the brother of humble circumstances is to glory in his high position;

nasb@James:1:10 @and the rich man is to glory in his humiliation, because like flowering grass he will pass away.

nasb@James:1:11 @For the sun rises with a scorching wind and withers the grass; and its flower falls off and the beauty of its appearance is destroyed; so too the rich man in the midst of his pursuits will fade away.

nasb@James:1:12 @Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.

nasb@James:1:13 @Let no one say when he is tempted, " I am being tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone.

nasb@James:1:14 @But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust.

nasb@James:1:15 @Then when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is accomplished, it brings forth death.

nasb@James:1:17 @Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow.

nasb@James:1:18 @In the exercise of His will He brought us forth by the word of truth, so that we would be a kind of first fruits among His creatures.

nasb@James:1:19 @This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger;

nasb@James:1:21 @Therefore, putting aside all filthiness and all that remains of wickedness, in humility receive the word implanted, which is able to save your souls.

nasb@James:1:23 @For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror;

nasb@James:1:25 @But one who looks intently at the perfect law, the law of liberty, and abides by it, not having become a forgetful hearer but an effectual doer, this man will be blessed in what he does.

nasb@James:1:26 @If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man's religion is worthless.

nasb@James:1:27 @Pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father is this- to visit orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.

nasb@James:2:1 @My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism.

nasb@James:2:3 @and you pay special attention to the one who is wearing the fine clothes, and say, "You sit here in a good place," and you say to the poor man, "You stand over there, or sit down by my footstool,"

nasb@James:2:4 @have you not made distinctions among yourselves, and become judges with evil motives?

nasb@James:2:5 @Listen, my beloved brethren- did not God choose the poor of this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which He promised to those who love Him?

nasb@James:2:6 @But you have dishonored the poor man. Is it not the rich who oppress you and personally drag you into court?

nasb@James:2:14 @What use is it, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but he has no works? Can that faith save him?

nasb@James:2:15 @If a brother or sister is without clothing and in need of daily food,

nasb@James:2:16 @and one of you says to them, " Go in peace, be warmed and be filled," and yet you do not give them what is necessary for their body, what use is that?

nasb@James:2:17 @Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead, being by itself.

nasb@James:2:19 @You believe that God is one. You do well; the demons also believe, and shudder.

nasb@James:2:20 @But are you willing to recognize, you foolish fellow, that faith without works is useless?

nasb@James:2:21 @Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up Isaac his son on the altar?

nasb@James:2:22 @You see that faith was working with his works, and as a result of the works, faith was perfected;

nasb@James:2:24 @You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone.

nasb@James:2:26 @For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.

nasb@James:3:2 @For we all stumble in many ways. If anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body as well.

nasb@James:3:5 @So also the tongue is a small part of the body, and yet it boasts of great things. See how great a forest is set aflame by such a small fire!

nasb@James:3:6 @And the tongue is a fire, the very world of iniquity; the tongue is set among our members as that which defiles the entire body, and sets on fire the course of our life, and is set on fire by hell.

nasb@James:3:7 @For every species of beasts and birds, of reptiles and creatures of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by the human race.

nasb@James:3:8 @But no one can tame the tongue; it is a restless evil and full of deadly poison.

nasb@James:3:10 @from the same mouth come both blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be this way.

nasb@James:3:13 @Who among you is wise and understanding? Let him show by his good behavior his deeds in the gentleness of wisdom.

nasb@James:3:14 @But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, do not be arrogant and so lie against the truth.

nasb@James:3:15 @This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, natural, demonic.

nasb@James:3:16 @For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there is disorder and every evil thing.

nasb@James:3:17 @But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, unwavering, without hypocrisy.

nasb@James:3:18 @And the seed whose fruit is righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.

nasb@James:4:1 @What is the source of quarrels and conflicts among you? Is not the source your pleasures that wage war in your members?

nasb@James:4:4 @You adulteresses, do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

nasb@James:4:6 @But He gives a greater grace. Therefore it says, " GOD IS OPPOSED TO THE PROUD, BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE."

nasb@James:4:7 @Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.

nasb@James:4:9 @Be miserable and mourn and weep; let your laughter be turned into mourning and your joy to gloom.

nasb@James:4:11 @Do not speak against one another, brethren. He who speaks against a brother or judges his brother, speaks against the law and judges the law; but if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge of it.

nasb@James:4:12 @There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the One who is able to save and to destroy; but who are you who judge your neighbor?

nasb@James:4:14 @Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow. You are just a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away.

nasb@James:4:15 @Instead, you ought to say, " If the Lord wills, we will live and also do this or that."

nasb@James:4:16 @But as it is, you boast in your arrogance; all such boasting is evil.

nasb@James:4:17 @Therefore, to one who knows the right thing to do and does not do it, to him it is sin.

nasb@James:5:1 @Come now, you rich, weep and howl for your miseries which are coming upon you.

nasb@James:5:3 @Your gold and your silver have rusted; and their rust will be a witness against you and will consume your flesh like fire. It is in the last days that you have stored up your treasure!

nasb@James:5:6 @You have condemned and put to death the righteous man; he does not resist you.

nasb@James:5:8 @You too be patient; strengthen your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is near.

nasb@James:5:9 @Do not complain, brethren, against one another, so that you yourselves may not be judged; behold, the Judge is standing right at the door.

nasb@James:5:11 @We count those blessed who endured. You have heard of the endurance of Job and have seen the outcome of the Lord's dealings, that the Lord is full of compassion and is merciful.

nasb@James:5:12 @But above all, my brethren, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or with any other oath; but your yes is to be yes, and your no, no, so that you may not fall under judgment.

nasb@James:5:13 @Is anyone among you suffering? Then he must pray. Is anyone cheerful? He is to sing praises.

nasb@James:5:14 @Is anyone among you sick? Then he must call for the elders of the church and they are to pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord;

nasb@James:5:15 @and the prayer offered in faith will restore the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up, and if he has committed sins, they will be forgiven him.

nasb@James:5:16 @Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much.

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

nasb@1Peter:1:1 @Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who reside as aliens, scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, who are chosen

nasb@1Peter:1:2 @according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, by the sanctifying work of the Spirit, to obey Jesus Christ and be sprinkled with His blood- May grace and peace be yours in the fullest measure.

nasb@1Peter:1:3 @Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

nasb@1Peter:1:4 @to obtain an inheritance which is imperishable and undefiled and will not fade away, reserved in heaven for you,

nasb@1Peter:1:6 @In this you greatly rejoice, even though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been distressed by various trials,

nasb@1Peter:1:7 @so that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ;

nasb@1Peter:1:10 @As to this salvation, the prophets who prophesied of the grace that would come to you made careful searches and inquiries,

nasb@1Peter:1:11 @seeking to know what person or time the Spirit of Christ within them was indicating as He predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories to follow.

nasb@1Peter:1:13 @Therefore, prepare your minds for action, keep sober in spirit, fix your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

nasb@1Peter:1:16 @because it is written, " YOU SHALL BE HOLY, FOR I AM HOLY."

nasb@1Peter:1:18 @knowing that you were not redeemed with perishable things like silver or gold from your futile way of life inherited from your forefathers,

nasb@1Peter:1:19 @but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and spotless, the blood of Christ.

nasb@1Peter:1:21 @who through Him are believers in God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.

nasb@1Peter:1:23 @for you have been born again not of seed which is perishable but imperishable, that is, through the living and enduring word of God.

nasb@1Peter:1:24 @For, " ALL FLESH IS LIKE GRASS, AND ALL ITS GLORY LIKE THE FLOWER OF GRASS. THE GRASS WITHERS, AND THE FLOWER FALLS OFF,

nasb@1Peter:1:25 @BUT THE WORD OF THE LORD ENDURES FOREVER." And this is the word which was preached to you.

nasb@1Peter:2:1 @Therefore, putting aside all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander,

nasb@1Peter:2:4 @And coming to Him as to a living stone which has been rejected by men, but is choice and precious in the sight of God,

nasb@1Peter:2:5 @you also, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house for a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

nasb@1Peter:2:6 @For this is contained in Scripture- " BEHOLD, I LAY IN ZION A CHOICE STONE, A PRECIOUS CORNER stone, AND HE WHO BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED."

nasb@1Peter:2:7 @This precious value, then, is for you who believe; but for those who disbelieve, " THE STONE WHICH THE BUILDERS REJECTED, THIS BECAME THE VERY CORNER stone,"

nasb@1Peter:2:8 @and, " A STONE OF STUMBLING AND A ROCK OF OFFENSE"; for they stumble because they are disobedient to the word, and to this doom they were also appointed.

nasb@1Peter:2:9 @But you are A CHOSEN RACE, A royal PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION, A PEOPLE FOR God's OWN POSSESSION, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;

nasb@1Peter:2:12 @Keep your behavior excellent among the Gentiles, so that in the thing in which they slander you as evildoers, they may because of your good deeds, as they observe them, glorify God in the day of visitation.

nasb@1Peter:2:14 @or to governors as sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and the praise of those who do right.

nasb@1Peter:2:15 @For such is the will of God that by doing right you may silence the ignorance of foolish men.

nasb@1Peter:2:18 @Servants, be submissive to your masters with all respect, not only to those who are good and gentle, but also to those who are unreasonable.

nasb@1Peter:2:19 @For this finds favor, if for the sake of conscience toward God a person bears up under sorrows when suffering unjustly.

nasb@1Peter:2:20 @For what credit is there if, when you sin and are harshly treated, you endure it with patience? But if when you do what is right and suffer for it you patiently endure it, this finds favor with God.

nasb@1Peter:2:21 @For you have been called for this purpose, since Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example for you to follow in His steps,

nasb@1Peter:2:22 @WHO COMMITTED NO SIN, NOR WAS ANY DECEIT FOUND IN HIS MOUTH;

nasb@1Peter:2:24 @and He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness; for by His wounds you were healed.

nasb@1Peter:3:1 @In the same way, you wives, be submissive to your own husbands so that even if any of them are disobedient to the word, they may be won without a word by the behavior of their wives,

nasb@1Peter:3:4 @but let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of God.

nasb@1Peter:3:5 @For in this way in former times the holy women also, who hoped in God, used to adorn themselves, being submissive to their own husbands;

nasb@1Peter:3:6 @just as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, and you have become her children if you do what is right without being frightened by any fear.

nasb@1Peter:3:7 @You husbands in the same way, live with your wives in an understanding way, as with someone weaker, since she is a woman; and show her honor as a fellow heir of the grace of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered.

nasb@1Peter:3:10 @For, " THE ONE WHO DESIRES LIFE, TO LOVE AND SEE GOOD DAYS, MUST KEEP HIS TONGUE FROM EVIL AND HIS LIPS FROM SPEAKING DECEIT.

nasb@1Peter:3:13 @Who is there to harm you if you prove zealous for what is good?

nasb@1Peter:3:15 @but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence;

nasb@1Peter:3:16 @and keep a good conscience so that in the thing in which you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ will be put to shame.

nasb@1Peter:3:17 @For it is better, if God should will it so, that you suffer for doing what is right rather than for doing what is wrong.

nasb@1Peter:3:18 @For Christ also died for sins once for all, the just for the unjust, so that He might bring us to God, having been put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit;

nasb@1Peter:3:19 @in which also He went and made proclamation to the spirits now in prison,

nasb@1Peter:3:20 @who once were disobedient, when the patience of God kept waiting in the days of Noah, during the construction of the ark, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were brought safely through the water.

nasb@1Peter:3:21 @Corresponding to that, baptism now saves you-- not the removal of dirt from the flesh, but an appeal to God for a good conscience--through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

nasb@1Peter:3:22 @who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, after angels and authorities and powers had been subjected to Him.

nasb@1Peter:4:1 @Therefore, since Christ has suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same purpose, because he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,

nasb@1Peter:4:3 @For the time already past is sufficient for you to have carried out the desire of the Gentiles, having pursued a course of sensuality, lusts, drunkenness, carousing, drinking parties and abominable idolatries.

nasb@1Peter:4:4 @In all this, they are surprised that you do not run with them into the same excesses of dissipation, and they malign you;

nasb@1Peter:4:5 @but they will give account to Him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.

nasb@1Peter:4:6 @For the gospel has for this purpose been preached even to those who are dead, that though they are judged in the flesh as men, they may live in the spirit according to the will of God.

nasb@1Peter:4:7 @The end of all things is near; therefore, be of sound judgment and sober spirit for the purpose of prayer.

nasb@1Peter:4:11 @Whoever speaks, is to do so as one who is speaking the utterances of God; whoever serves is to do so as one who is serving by the strength which God supplies; so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belongs the glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

nasb@1Peter:4:12 @Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal among you, which comes upon you for your testing, as though some strange thing were happening to you;

nasb@1Peter:4:13 @but to the degree that you share the sufferings of Christ, keep on rejoicing, so that also at the revelation of His glory you may rejoice with exultation.

nasb@1Peter:4:14 @If you are reviled for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you.

nasb@1Peter:4:16 @but if anyone suffers as a Christian, he is not to be ashamed, but is to glorify God in this name.

nasb@1Peter:4:17 @For it is time for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God?

nasb@1Peter:4:18 @AND IF IT IS WITH DIFFICULTY THAT THE RIGHTEOUS IS SAVED, WHAT WILL BECOME OF THE GODLESS MAN AND THE SINNER?

nasb@1Peter:4:19 @Therefore, those also who suffer according to the will of God shall entrust their souls to a faithful Creator in doing what is right.

nasb@1Peter:5:1 @Therefore, I exhort the elders among you, as your fellow elder and witness of the sufferings of Christ, and a partaker also of the glory that is to be revealed,

nasb@1Peter:5:2 @shepherd the flock of God among you, exercising oversight not under compulsion, but voluntarily, according to the will of God; and not for sordid gain, but with eagerness;

nasb@1Peter:5:5 @You younger men, likewise, be subject to your elders; and all of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, for GOD IS OPPOSED TO THE PROUD, BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE.

nasb@1Peter:5:9 @But resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being accomplished by your brethren who are in the world.

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

nasb@1Peter:5:12 @Through Silvanus, our faithful brother (for so I regard him), I have written to you briefly, exhorting and testifying that this is the true grace of God. Stand firm in it!

nasb@1Peter:5:13 @She who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, sends you greetings, and so does my son, Mark.

nasb@1Peter:5:14 @Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace be to you all who are in Christ.

nasb@2Peter:1:1 @Simon Peter, a bond-servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who have received a faith of the same kind as ours, by the righteousness of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ-

nasb@2Peter:1:3 @seeing that His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence.

nasb@2Peter:1:4 @For by these He has granted to us His precious and magnificent promises, so that by them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world by lust.

nasb@2Peter:1:5 @Now for this very reason also, applying all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence, and in your moral excellence, knowledge,

nasb@2Peter:1:8 @For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they render you neither useless nor unfruitful in the true knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

nasb@2Peter:1:9 @For he who lacks these qualities is blind or short-sighted, having forgotten his purification from his former sins.

nasb@2Peter:1:10 @Therefore, brethren, be all the more diligent to make certain about His calling and choosing you; for as long as you practice these things, you will never stumble;

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

nasb@2Peter:1:12 @Therefore, I will always be ready to remind you of these things, even though you already know them, and have been established in the truth which is present with you.

nasb@2Peter:1:13 @I consider it right, as long as I am in this earthly dwelling, to stir you up by way of reminder,

nasb@2Peter:1:14 @knowing that the laying aside of my earthly dwelling is imminent, as also our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me.

nasb@2Peter:1:16 @For we did not follow cleverly devised tales when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of His majesty.

nasb@2Peter:1:17 @For when He received honor and glory from God the Father, such an utterance as this was made to Him by the Majestic Glory, "This is My beloved Son with whom I am well-pleased"--

nasb@2Peter:1:18 @and we ourselves heard this utterance made from heaven when we were with Him on the holy mountain.

nasb@2Peter:1:19 @So we have the prophetic word made more sure, to which you do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star arises in your hearts.

nasb@2Peter:1:20 @But know this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one's own interpretation,

nasb@2Peter:2:3 @and in their greed they will exploit you with false words; their judgment from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.

nasb@2Peter:2:8 @(for by what he saw and heard that righteous man, while living among them, felt his righteous soul tormented day after day by their lawless deeds),

nasb@2Peter:2:9 @then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from temptation, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment for the day of judgment,

nasb@2Peter:2:10 @and especially those who indulge the flesh in its corrupt desires and despise authority. Daring, self-willed, they do not tremble when they revile angelic majesties,

nasb@2Peter:2:13 @suffering wrong as the wages of doing wrong. They count it a pleasure to revel in the daytime. They are stains and blemishes, reveling in their deceptions, as they carouse with you,

nasb@2Peter:2:16 @but he received a rebuke for his own transgression, for a mute donkey, speaking with a voice of a man, restrained the madness of the prophet.

nasb@2Peter:2:17 @These are springs without water and mists driven by a storm, for whom the black darkness has been reserved.

nasb@2Peter:2:19 @promising them freedom while they themselves are slaves of corruption; for by what a man is overcome, by this he is enslaved.

nasb@2Peter:2:20 @For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world by the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and are overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first.

nasb@2Peter:3:1 @This is now, beloved, the second letter I am writing to you in which I am stirring up your sincere mind by way of reminder,

nasb@2Peter:3:3 @Know this first of all, that in the last days mockers will come with their mocking, following after their own lusts,

nasb@2Peter:3:4 @and saying, " Where is the promise of His coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all continues just as it was from the beginning of creation."

nasb@2Peter:3:5 @For when they maintain this, it escapes their notice that by the word of God the heavens existed long ago and the earth was formed out of water and by water,

nasb@2Peter:3:7 @But by His word the present heavens and earth are being reserved for fire, kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.

nasb@2Peter:3:8 @But do not let this one fact escape your notice, beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day.

nasb@2Peter:3:9 @The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.

nasb@2Peter:3:11 @Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what sort of people ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness,

nasb@2Peter:3:13 @But according to His promise we are looking for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells.

nasb@2Peter:3:15 @and regard the patience of our Lord as salvation; just as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given him, wrote to you,

nasb@2Peter:3:16 @as also in all his letters, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which the untaught and unstable distort, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction.

nasb@2Peter:3:17 @You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, be on your guard so that you are not carried away by the error of unprincipled men and fall from your own steadfastness,

nasb@2Peter:3:18 @but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory, both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.

nasb@1John:1:3 @what we have seen and heard we proclaim to you also, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ.

nasb@1John:1:5 @This is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all.

nasb@1John:1:7 @but if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.

nasb@1John:1:8 @If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us.

nasb@1John:1:9 @If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

nasb@1John:1:10 @If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar and His word is not in us.

nasb@1John:2:1 @My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous;

nasb@1John:2:2 @and He Himself is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world.

nasb@1John:2:3 @By this we know that we have come to know Him, if we keep His commandments.

nasb@1John:2:4 @The one who says, " I have come to know Him," and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him;

nasb@1John:2:5 @but whoever keeps His word, in him the love of God has truly been perfected. By this we know that we are in Him-

nasb@1John:2:7 @Beloved, I am not writing a new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you have had from the beginning; the old commandment is the word which you have heard.

nasb@1John:2:8 @On the other hand, I am writing a new commandment to you, which is true in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away and the true Light is already shining.

nasb@1John:2:9 @The one who says he is in the Light and yet hates his brother is in the darkness until now.

nasb@1John:2:10 @The one who loves his brother abides in the Light and there is no cause for stumbling in him.

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

nasb@1John:2:12 @I am writing to you, little children, because your sins have been forgiven you for His name's sake.

nasb@1John:2:15 @Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

nasb@1John:2:16 @For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world.

nasb@1John:2:17 @The world is passing away, and also its lusts; but the one who does the will of God lives forever.

nasb@1John:2:18 @Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have appeared; from this we know that it is the last hour.

nasb@1John:2:21 @I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it, and because no lie is of the truth.

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

nasb@1John:2:25 @This is the promise which He Himself made to us- eternal life.

nasb@1John:2:27 @As for you, the anointing which you received from Him abides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you; but as His anointing teaches you about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you abide in Him.

nasb@1John:2:28 @Now, little children, abide in Him, so that when He appears, we may have confidence and not shrink away from Him in shame at His coming.

nasb@1John:2:29 @If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone also who practices righteousness is born of Him.

nasb@1John:3:1 @See how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we would be called children of God; and such we are. For this reason the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.

nasb@1John:3:2 @Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we will be. We know that when He appears, we will be like Him, because we will see Him just as He is.

nasb@1John:3:3 @And everyone who has this hope fixed on Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.

nasb@1John:3:4 @Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness.

nasb@1John:3:5 @You know that He appeared in order to take away sins; and in Him there is no sin.

nasb@1John:3:7 @Little children, make sure no one deceives you; the one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous;

nasb@1John:3:8 @the one who practices sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning. The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil.

nasb@1John:3:9 @No one who is born of God practices sin, because His seed abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

nasb@1John:3:10 @By this the children of God and the children of the devil are obvious- anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor the one who does not love his brother.

nasb@1John:3:11 @For this is the message which you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another;

nasb@1John:3:12 @not as Cain, who was of the evil one and slew his brother. And for what reason did he slay him? Because his deeds were evil, and his brother's were righteous.

nasb@1John:3:13 @Do not be surprised, brethren, if the world hates you.

nasb@1John:3:15 @Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer; and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.

nasb@1John:3:16 @We know love by this, that He laid down His life for us; and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

nasb@1John:3:17 @But whoever has the world's goods, and sees his brother in need and closes his heart against him, how does the love of God abide in him?

nasb@1John:3:19 @We will know by this that we are of the truth, and will assure our heart before Him

nasb@1John:3:20 @in whatever our heart condemns us; for God is greater than our heart and knows all things.

nasb@1John:3:22 @and whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do the things that are pleasing in His sight.

nasb@1John:3:23 @This is His commandment, that we believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as He commanded us.

nasb@1John:3:24 @The one who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. We know by this that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us.

nasb@1John:4:2 @By this you know the Spirit of God- every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God;

nasb@1John:4:3 @and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world.

nasb@1John:4:4 @You are from God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.

nasb@1John:4:5 @They are from the world; therefore they speak as from the world, and the world listens to them.

nasb@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 spirit of truth and the spirit of error.

nasb@1John:4:7 @Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.

nasb@1John:4:8 @The one who does not love does not know God, for God is love.

nasb@1John:4:9 @By this the love of God was manifested in us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world so that we might live through Him.

nasb@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.

nasb@1John:4:12 @No one has seen God at any time; if we love one another, God abides in us, and His love is perfected in us.

nasb@1John:4:13 @By this we know that we abide in Him and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit.

nasb@1John:4:15 @Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.

nasb@1John:4:16 @We have come to know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.

nasb@1John:4:17 @By this, love is perfected with us, so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment; because as He is, so also are we in this world.

nasb@1John:4:18 @There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love.

nasb@1John:4:20 @If someone says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for the one who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen.

nasb@1John:4:21 @And this commandment we have from Him, that the one who loves God should love his brother also.

nasb@1John:5:1 @Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and whoever loves the Father loves the child born of Him.

nasb@1John:5:2 @By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and observe His commandments.

nasb@1John:5:3 @For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments; and His commandments are not burdensome.

nasb@1John:5:4 @For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world--our faith.

nasb@1John:5:5 @Who is the one who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

nasb@1John:5:6 @This is the One who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ; not with the water only, but with the water and with the blood. It is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.

nasb@1John:5:9 @If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater; for the testimony of God is this, that He has testified concerning His Son.

nasb@1John:5:10 @The one who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself; the one who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has given concerning His Son.

nasb@1John:5:11 @And the testimony is this, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.

nasb@1John:5:14 @This is the confidence which we have before Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.

nasb@1John:5:16 @If anyone sees his brother committing a sin not leading to death, he shall ask and God will for him give life to those who commit sin not leading to death. There is a sin leading to death; I do not say that he should make request for this.

nasb@1John:5:17 @All unrighteousness is sin, and there is a sin not leading to death.

nasb@1John:5:18 @We know that no one who is born of God sins; but He who was born of God keeps him, and the evil one does not touch him.

nasb@1John:5:20 @And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding so that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.

nasb@2John:1:3 @Grace, mercy and peace will be with us, from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.

nasb@2John:1:6 @And this is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment, just as you have heard from the beginning, that you should walk in it.

nasb@2John:1:7 @For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist.

nasb@2John:1:8 @Watch yourselves, that you do not lose what we have accomplished, but that you may receive a full reward.

nasb@2John:1:9 @Anyone who goes too far and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God; the one who abides in the teaching, he has both the Father and the Son.

nasb@2John:1:10 @If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house, and do not give him a greeting;

nasb@2John:1:11 @for the one who gives him a greeting participates in his evil deeds.

nasb@2John:1:13 @The children of your chosen sister greet you.

nasb@1John:1:3 @For I was very glad when brethren came and testified to your truth, that is, how you are walking in truth.

nasb@1John:1:4 @I have no greater joy than this, to hear of my children walking in the truth.

nasb@1John:1:5 @Beloved, you are acting faithfully in whatever you accomplish for the brethren, and especially when they are strangers;

nasb@1John:1:10 @For this reason, if I come, I will call attention to his deeds which he does, unjustly accusing us with wicked words; and not satisfied with this, he himself does not receive the brethren, either, and he forbids those who desire to do so and puts them out of the church.

nasb@1John:1:11 @Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. The one who does good is of God; the one who does evil has not seen God.

nasb@1John:1:12 @Demetrius has received a good testimony from everyone, and from the truth itself; and we add our testimony, and you know that our testimony is true.

nasb@Jude:1:1 @Jude, a bond-servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, To those who are the called, beloved in God the Father, and kept for Jesus Christ-

nasb@Jude:1:4 @For certain persons have crept in unnoticed, those who were long beforehand marked out for this condemnation, ungodly persons who turn the grace of our God into licentiousness and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.

nasb@Jude:1:7 @just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them, since they in the same way as these indulged in gross immorality and went after strange flesh, are exhibited as an example in undergoing the punishment of eternal fire.

nasb@Jude:1:9 @But Michael the archangel, when he disputed with the devil and argued about the body of Moses, did not dare pronounce against him a railing judgment, but said, " The Lord rebuke you!"

nasb@Jude:1:11 @Woe to them! For they have gone the way of Cain, and for pay they have rushed headlong into the error of Balaam, and perished in the rebellion of Korah.

nasb@Jude:1:14 @It was also about these men that Enoch, in the seventh generation from Adam, prophesied, saying, " Behold, the Lord came with many thousands of His holy ones,

nasb@Jude:1:17 @But you, beloved, ought to remember the words that were spoken beforehand by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ,

nasb@Jude:1:19 @These are the ones who cause divisions, worldly-minded, devoid of the Spirit.

nasb@Jude:1:21 @keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting anxiously for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life.
