bbe@Matthew:1:1 @The book of the generations of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.

bbe@Matthew:1:2 @The son of Abraham was Isaac; and the son of Isaac was Jacob; and the sons of Jacob were Judah and his brothers;

bbe@Matthew:1:3 @And the sons of Judah were Perez and Zerah by Tamar; and the son of Perez was Hezron; and the son of Hezron was Ram;

bbe@Matthew:1:4 @And the son of Ram was Amminadab; and the son of Amminadab was Nahshon; and the son of Nahshon was Salmon;

bbe@Matthew:1:5 @And the son of Salmon by Rahab was Boaz; and the son of Boaz by Ruth was Obed; and the son of Obed was Jesse;

bbe@Matthew:1:6 @And the son of Jesse was David the king; and the son of David was Solomon by her who had been the wife of Uriah;

bbe@Matthew:1:7 @And the son of Solomon was Rehoboam; and the son of Rehoboam was Abijah; and the son of Abijah was Asa;

bbe@Matthew:1:8 @And the son of Asa was Jehoshaphat; and the son of Jehoshaphat was Joram; and the son of Joram was Uzziah;

bbe@Matthew:1:9 @And the son of Uzziah was Jotham; and the son of Jotham was Ahaz; and the son of Ahaz was Hezekiah;

bbe@Matthew:1:10 @And the son of Hezekiah was Manasseh; and the son of Manasseh was Amon; and the son of Amon was Josiah;

bbe@Matthew:1:11 @And the sons of Josiah were Jechoniah and his brothers, at the time of the taking away to Babylon.

bbe@Matthew:1:16 @And the son of Jacob was Joseph the husband of Mary, who gave birth to Jesus, whose name is Christ.

bbe@Matthew:1:17 @So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David to the taking away to Babylon, fourteen generations; and from the taking away to Babylon to the coming of Christ, fourteen generations.

bbe@Matthew:1:18 @Now the birth of Jesus Christ was in this way: when his mother Mary was going to be married to Joseph, before they came together the discovery was made that she was with child by the Holy Spirit.

bbe@Matthew:1:20 @But when he was giving thought to these things, an angel of the Lord came to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, son of David, have no fear of taking Mary as your wife; because that which is in her body is of the Holy Spirit.

bbe@Matthew:1:22 @Now all this took place so that the word of the Lord by the prophet might come true,

bbe@Matthew:1:24 @And Joseph did as the angel of the Lord had said to him, and took her as his wife;

bbe@Matthew:2:1 @Now when the birth of Jesus took place in Beth-lehem of Judaea, in the days of Herod the king, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,

bbe@Matthew:2:2 @Saying, Where is the King of the Jews whose birth has now taken place? We have seen his star in the east and have come to give him worship.

bbe@Matthew:2:3 @And when it came to the ears of Herod the king, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.

bbe@Matthew:2:4 @And he got together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, questioning them as to where the birth-place of the Christ would be.

bbe@Matthew:2:5 @And they said to him, In Beth-lehem of Judaea; for so it is said in the writings of the prophet,

bbe@Matthew:2:6 @You Beth-lehem, in the land of Judah, are not the least among the chiefs of Judah: out of you will come a ruler, who will be the keeper of my people Israel.

bbe@Matthew:2:8 @And he sent them to Beth-lehem and said, Go and make certain where the young child is; and when you have seen him, let me have news of it, so that I may come and give him worship.

bbe@Matthew:2:10 @And when they saw the star they were full of joy.

bbe@Matthew:2:11 @And they came into the house, and saw the young child with Mary, his mother; and falling down on their faces they gave him worship; and from their store they gave him offerings of gold, perfume, and spices.

bbe@Matthew:2:13 @And when they had gone, an angel of the Lord came to Joseph in a dream, saying, Get up and take the young child and his mother, and go into Egypt, and do not go from there till I give you word; for Herod will be searching for the young child to put him to death.

bbe@Matthew:2:15 @And was there till the death of Herod; so that the word of the Lord through the prophet might come true, Out of Egypt have I sent for my son.

bbe@Matthew:2:17 @Then the word of Jeremiah the prophet came true,

bbe@Matthew:2:18 @In Ramah there was a sound of weeping and great sorrow, Rachel weeping for her children, and she would not be comforted for their loss.

bbe@Matthew:2:19 @But when Herod was dead, an angel of the Lord came in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,

bbe@Matthew:2:20 @Saying, Get up and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: because they who were attempting to take the young child's life are dead.

bbe@Matthew:2:21 @And he got up, and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.

bbe@Matthew:2:22 @But when it came to his ears that Archelaus was ruling over Judaea in the place of his father Herod, he was in fear of going there; and God having given him news of the danger in a dream, he went out of the way into the country parts of Galilee.

bbe@Matthew:2:23 @And he came and was living in a town named Nazareth: so that the word of the prophets might come true, He will be named a Nazarene.

bbe@Matthew:3:1 @And in those days John the Baptist came preaching in the waste land of Judaea,

bbe@Matthew:3:2 @Saying, Let your hearts be turned from sin; for the kingdom of heaven is near.

bbe@Matthew:3:3 @For this is he of whom Isaiah the prophet said, The voice of one crying in the waste land, Make ready the way of the Lord, make his roads straight.

bbe@Matthew:3:7 @But when he saw a number of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, Offspring of snakes, at whose word are you going in flight from the wrath to come?

bbe@Matthew:3:8 @Let your change of heart be seen in your works:

bbe@Matthew:3:10 @And even now the axe is put to the root of the trees; every tree then which does not give good fruit is cut down, and put into the fire

bbe@Matthew:3:11 @Truly, I give baptism with water to those of you whose hearts are changed; but he who comes after me is greater than I, whose shoes I am not good enough to take up: he will give you baptism with the Holy Spirit and with fire:

bbe@Matthew:3:14 @But John would have kept him back, saying, It is I who have need of baptism from you, and do you come to me?

bbe@Matthew:3:16 @And Jesus, having been given baptism, straight away went up from the water; and, the heavens opening, he saw the Spirit of God coming down on him as a dove;

bbe@Matthew:3:17 @And a voice came out of heaven, saying, This is my dearly loved Son, with whom I am well pleased.

bbe@Matthew:4:2 @And after going without food for forty days and forty nights, he was in need of it.

bbe@Matthew:4:3 @And the Evil One came and said to him, If you are the Son of God, give the word for these stones to become bread.

bbe@Matthew:4:4 @But he made answer and said, It is in the Writings, Bread is not man's only need, but every word which comes out of the mouth of God.

bbe@Matthew:4:5 @Then the Evil One took him to the holy town; and he put him on the highest point of the Temple and said to him,

bbe@Matthew:4:6 @If you are the Son of God, let yourself go down; for it is in the Writings, He will give his angels care over you; and, In their hands they will keep you up, so that your foot may not be crushed against a stone.

bbe@Matthew:4:8 @Again, the Evil One took him up to a very high mountain, and let him see all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them;

bbe@Matthew:4:11 @Then the Evil One went away from him, and angels came and took care of him.

bbe@Matthew:4:13 @And going away from Nazareth, he came and made his living-place in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the country of Zebulun and Naphtali:

bbe@Matthew:4:14 @So that the word of the prophet Isaiah might come true,

bbe@Matthew:4:15 @The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, by the way of the sea, the other side of Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles,

bbe@Matthew:4:16 @The people who were in the dark saw a great light, and to those in the land of the shade of death did the dawn come up.

bbe@Matthew:4:17 @From that time Jesus went about preaching and saying, Let your hearts be turned from sin, for the kingdom of heaven is near.

bbe@Matthew:4:18 @And when he was walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon, whose other name was Peter, and Andrew, his brother, who were putting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.

bbe@Matthew:4:19 @And he said to them, Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.

bbe@Matthew:4:21 @And going on from there he saw two other brothers, James, the son of Zebedee, and John, his brother, in the boat with their father, stitching up their nets; and he said, Come.

bbe@Matthew:4:23 @And Jesus went about in all Galilee, teaching in their Synagogues and preaching the good news of the kingdom, and making well those who were ill with any disease among the people.

bbe@Matthew:4:24 @And news of him went out through all Syria; and they took to him all who were ill with different diseases and pains, those having evil spirits and those who were off their heads, and those who had no power of moving. And he made them well.

bbe@Matthew:4:25 @And there went after him great numbers from Galilee and Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judaea and from the other side of Jordan.

bbe@Matthew:5:1 @And seeing great masses of people he went up into the mountain; and when he was seated his disciples came to him.

bbe@Matthew:5:3 @Happy are the poor in spirit: for the kingdom of heaven is theirs.

bbe@Matthew:5:9 @Happy are the peacemakers: for they will be named sons of God.

bbe@Matthew:5:10 @Happy are those who are attacked on account of righteousness: for the kingdom of heaven will be theirs.

bbe@Matthew:5:11 @Happy are you when men give you a bad name, and are cruel to you, and say all evil things against you falsely, because of me.

bbe@Matthew:5:12 @Be glad and full of joy; for great is your reward in heaven: for so were the prophets attacked who were before you

bbe@Matthew:5:13 @You are the salt of the earth; but if its taste goes from the salt, how will you make it salt again? it is then good for nothing but to be put out and crushed under foot by men.

bbe@Matthew:5:14 @You are the light of the world. A town put on a hill may be seen by all.

bbe@Matthew:5:18 @Truly I say to you, Till heaven and earth come to an end, not the smallest letter or part of a letter will in any way be taken from the law, till all things are done.

bbe@Matthew:5:19 @Whoever then goes against the smallest of these laws, teaching men to do the same, will be named least in the kingdom of heaven; but he who keeps the laws, teaching others to keep them, will be named great in the kingdom of heaven.

bbe@Matthew:5:20 @For I say to you, If your righteousness is not greater than the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never go into the kingdom of heaven.

bbe@Matthew:5:21 @You have knowledge that it was said in old times, You may not put to death; and, Whoever puts to death will be in danger of being judged:

bbe@Matthew:5:22 @But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be in danger of being judged; and he who says to his brother, Raca, will be in danger from the Sanhedrin; and whoever says, You foolish one, will be in danger of the hell of fire.

bbe@Matthew:5:23 @If then you are making an offering at the altar and there it comes to your mind that your brother has something against you,

bbe@Matthew:5:24 @While your offering is still before the altar, first go and make peace with your brother, then come and make your offering.

bbe@Matthew:5:26 @Truly I say to you, You will not come out from there till you have made payment of the very last farthing.

bbe@Matthew:5:29 @And if your right eye is a cause of trouble to you, take it out and put it away from you; because it is better to undergo the loss of one part, than for all your body to go into hell.

bbe@Matthew:5:30 @And if your right hand is a cause of trouble to you, let it be cut off and put it away from you; because it is better to undergo the loss of one part, than for all your body to go into hell.

bbe@Matthew:5:32 @But I say to you that everyone who puts away his wife for any other cause but the loss of her virtue, makes her false to her husband; and whoever takes her as his wife after she is put away, is no true husband to her.

bbe@Matthew:5:34 @But I say to you, Take no oaths at all: not by the heaven, because it is the seat of God;

bbe@Matthew:5:35 @Or by the earth, because it is the resting-place for his foot; or by Jerusalem, because it is the town of the great King.

bbe@Matthew:5:37 @But let your words be simply, Yes or No: and whatever is more than these is of the Evil One.

bbe@Matthew:5:39 @But I say to you, Do not make use of force against an evil man; but to him who gives you a blow on the right side of your face let the left be turned.

bbe@Matthew:5:42 @Give to him who comes with a request, and keep not your property from him who would for a time make use of it.

bbe@Matthew:5:45 @So that you may be the sons of your Father in heaven; for his sun gives light to the evil and to the good, and he sends rain on the upright man and on the sinner.

bbe@Matthew:6:7 @And in your prayer do not make use of the same words again and again, as the Gentiles do: for they have the idea that God will give attention to them because of the number of their words.

bbe@Matthew:6:8 @So be not like them; because your Father has knowledge of your needs even before you make your requests to him.

bbe@Matthew:6:12 @And make us free of our debts, as we have made those free who are in debt to us.

bbe@Matthew:6:19 @Make no store of wealth for yourselves on earth, where it may be turned to dust by worms and weather, and where thieves may come in by force and take it away.

bbe@Matthew:6:22 @The light of the body is the eye; if then your eye is true, all your body will be full of light.

bbe@Matthew:6:24 @No man is able to be a servant to two masters: for he will have hate for the one and love for the other, or he will keep to one and have no respect for the other. You may not be servants of God and of wealth.

bbe@Matthew:6:26 @See the birds of heaven; they do not put seeds in the earth, they do not get in grain, or put it in store-houses; and your Father in heaven gives them food. Are you not of much more value than they?

bbe@Matthew:6:27 @And which of you by taking thought is able to make himself a cubit taller?

bbe@Matthew:6:28 @And why are you troubled about clothing? See the flowers of the field, how they come up; they do no work, they make no thread:

bbe@Matthew:6:29 @But I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not clothed like one of these.

bbe@Matthew:6:30 @But if God gives such clothing to the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is put into the oven, will he not much more give you clothing, O you of little faith?

bbe@Matthew:6:31 @Then do not be full of care, saying, What are we to have for food or drink? or, With what may we be clothed?

bbe@Matthew:6:32 @Because the Gentiles go in search of all these things: for your Father in heaven has knowledge that you have need of all these things:

bbe@Matthew:6:34 @Then have no care for tomorrow: tomorrow will take care of itself. Take the trouble of the day as it comes.

bbe@Matthew:7:1 @Be not judges of others, and you will not be judged.

bbe@Matthew:7:3 @And why do you take note of the grain of dust in your brother's eye, but take no note of the bit of wood which is in your eye?

bbe@Matthew:7:4 @Or how will you say to your brother, Let me take out the grain of dust from your eye, when you yourself have a bit of wood in your eye?

bbe@Matthew:7:5 @You false one, first take out the bit of wood from your eye, then will you see clearly to take out the grain of dust from your brother's eye.

bbe@Matthew:7:9 @Or which of you, if his son makes a request for bread, will give him a stone?

bbe@Matthew:7:14 @For narrow is the door and hard the road to life, and only a small number make discovery of it.

bbe@Matthew:7:16 @By their fruits you will get knowledge of them

bbe@Matthew:7:20 @So by their fruits you will get knowledge of them.

bbe@Matthew:7:21 @Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord, will go into the kingdom of heaven; but he who does the pleasure of my Father in heaven.

bbe@Matthew:7:22 @A great number will say to me on that day, Lord, Lord, were we not prophets in your name, and did we not by your name send out evil spirits, and by your name do works of power?

bbe@Matthew:7:23 @And then will I say to them, I never had knowledge of you: go from me, you workers of evil.

bbe@Matthew:7:25 @And the rain came down and there was a rush of waters and the winds were driving against that house, but it was not moved; because it was based on the rock.

bbe@Matthew:7:27 @And the rain came down and there was a rush of waters and the winds were driving against that house; and it came down and great was its fall.

bbe@Matthew:7:28 @And it came about, when Jesus had come to the end of these words, that the people were surprised at his teaching,

bbe@Matthew:8:1 @And when he had come down from the mountain, great numbers of people came after him.

bbe@Matthew:8:4 @And Jesus said to him, See that you say nothing about this to anyone; but go and let the priest see you and make the offering which was ordered by Moses, for a witness to them.

bbe@Matthew:8:8 @And the captain in answer said, Lord, I am not good enough for you to come under my roof; but only say the word, and my servant will be made well.

bbe@Matthew:8:10 @And when these words came to the ears of Jesus he was surprised, and said to those who came after him, Truly I say to you, I have not seen such great faith, no, not in Israel.

bbe@Matthew:8:11 @And I say to you that numbers will come from the east and the west, and will take their seats with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven:

bbe@Matthew:8:12 @But the sons of the kingdom will be put out into the dark, and there will be weeping and cries of pain.

bbe@Matthew:8:15 @And he put his hand on hers and the disease went from her, and she got up and took care of his needs.

bbe@Matthew:8:16 @And in the evening, they took to him a number of people who had evil spirits; and he sent the spirits out of them with a word, and made well all who were ill;

bbe@Matthew:8:17 @So that the word of Isaiah the prophet might come true: He himself took our pains and our diseases.

bbe@Matthew:8:18 @Now when Jesus saw a great mass of people about him, he gave an order to go to the other side

bbe@Matthew:8:20 @And Jesus said to him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of heaven have a resting-place; but the Son of man has nowhere to put his head.

bbe@Matthew:8:21 @And another of the disciples said to him, Lord, let me first go and give the last honours to my father.

bbe@Matthew:8:22 @But Jesus said to him, Come after me; and let the dead take care of their dead.

bbe@Matthew:8:26 @And he said to them, Why are you full of fear, O you of little faith? Then he got up and gave orders to the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.

bbe@Matthew:8:27 @And the men were full of wonder, saying, What sort of man is this, that even the winds and the sea do his orders?

bbe@Matthew:8:28 @And when he had come to the other side, to the country of the Gadarenes, there came out to him from the place of the dead, two who had evil spirits, so violent that no man was able to go that way.

bbe@Matthew:8:29 @And they gave a loud cry, saying, What have we to do with you, you Son of God? Have you come here to give us punishment before the time?

bbe@Matthew:8:30 @Now there was, some distance away, a great herd of pigs taking their food.

bbe@Matthew:8:31 @And the evil spirits made strong prayers to him, saying, If you send us out, let us go into the herd of pigs.

bbe@Matthew:8:33 @And their keepers went in flight to the town and gave an account of everything, and of the men who had the evil spirits.

bbe@Matthew:8:34 @And all the town came out to Jesus; and seeing him they made request that he would go away from their part of the country.

bbe@Matthew:9:2 @And they took to him a man stretched on a bed who had no power of moving; and Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the man who was ill, Son, take heart; you have forgiveness for your sins.

bbe@Matthew:9:3 @And some of the scribes said among themselves, This man has no respect for God.

bbe@Matthew:9:4 @And Jesus, having knowledge of what was in their minds, said, Why are your thoughts evil?

bbe@Matthew:9:6 @But so that you may see that on earth the Son of man has authority for the forgiveness of sins, (then said he to the man who was ill,) Get up, and take up your bed, and go to your house.

bbe@Matthew:9:8 @But when the people saw it they were full of fear, and gave glory to God who had given such authority to men.

bbe@Matthew:9:10 @And it came about, when he was in the house taking food, that a number of tax-farmers and sinners came and took their places with Jesus and his disciples.

bbe@Matthew:9:12 @But on hearing this he said, Those who are well have no need of a medical man, but those who are ill.

bbe@Matthew:9:13 @But go and take to heart the sense of these words, My desire is for mercy, not offerings: for I have come not to get the upright, but sinners.

bbe@Matthew:9:14 @Then the disciples of John came to him, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees frequently go without food, but your disciples do not?

bbe@Matthew:9:15 @And Jesus said to them, Will the friends of the newly-married man be sad as long as he is with them? But the days will come when he will be taken away from them, and then will they go without food.

bbe@Matthew:9:16 @And no man puts a bit of new cloth on an old coat, for by pulling away from the old, it makes a worse hole.

bbe@Matthew:9:17 @And men do not put new wine into old wine-skins; or the skins will be burst and the wine will come out, and the skins are of no more use: but they put new wine into new wine-skins, and so the two will be safe.

bbe@Matthew:9:20 @And a woman, who for twelve years had had a flow of blood, came after him, and put her hand on the edge of his robe:

bbe@Matthew:9:26 @And the news of it went out into all that land.

bbe@Matthew:9:27 @And when Jesus went on from there, two blind men came after him, crying out, Have mercy on us, you Son of David.

bbe@Matthew:9:30 @And their eyes were made open. And Jesus said to them sharply, Let no man have knowledge of it.

bbe@Matthew:9:31 @But they went out and gave news of him in all that land.

bbe@Matthew:9:32 @And while they were going away, there came to him a man without the power of talking, and with an evil spirit.

bbe@Matthew:9:33 @And when the evil spirit had been sent out, the man had the power of talking: and they were all surprised, saying, Such a thing has never been seen in Israel.

bbe@Matthew:9:34 @But the Pharisees said, By the ruler of evil spirits, he sends evil spirits out of men.

bbe@Matthew:9:35 @And Jesus went about all the towns and small places, teaching in their Synagogues and preaching the good news of the kingdom and making well all sorts of disease and pain.

bbe@Matthew:9:38 @Make prayer, then, to the Lord of the grain-fields, that he may send out workers to get in his grain.

bbe@Matthew:10:1 @And he got together his twelve disciples and gave them the power of driving out unclean spirits, and of making well all sorts of disease and pain.

bbe@Matthew:10:2 @Now the names of the twelve are these: The first, Simon, who is named Peter, and Andrew, his brother; James, the son of Zebedee, and John, his brother;

bbe@Matthew:10:3 @Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew, the tax-farmer; James, the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;

bbe@Matthew:10:5 @These twelve Jesus sent out and gave them orders, saying, Do not go among the Gentiles, or into any town of Samaria,

bbe@Matthew:10:6 @But go to the wandering sheep of the house of Israel,

bbe@Matthew:10:7 @And, on your way, say, The kingdom of heaven is near.

bbe@Matthew:10:8 @Make well those who are ill, give life to the dead, make lepers clean, send evil spirits out of men; freely it has been given to you, freely give.

bbe@Matthew:10:14 @And whoever will not take you in, or give ear to your words, when you go out from that house or that town, put off its dust from your feet.

bbe@Matthew:10:15 @Truly I say to you, It will be better for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of God's judging than for that town.

bbe@Matthew:10:18 @And you will come before rulers and kings because of me, for a witness to them and to the Gentiles.

bbe@Matthew:10:20 @Because it is not you who say the words, but the Spirit of your Father in you.

bbe@Matthew:10:22 @And you will be hated by all men because of my name: but he who is strong to the end will have salvation.

bbe@Matthew:10:23 @But when they are cruel to you in one town, go in flight to another: for truly, I say to you, You will not have gone through the towns of Israel before the Son of man comes.

bbe@Matthew:10:25 @It is enough for the disciple that he may be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have given the name Beelzebub to the master of the house, how much more to those of his house!

bbe@Matthew:10:26 @Have, then, no fear of them: because nothing is covered which will not come to light, or secret which will not be made clear.

bbe@Matthew:10:28 @And have no fear of those who put to death the body, but are not able to put to death the soul. But have fear of him who has power to give soul and body to destruction in hell.

bbe@Matthew:10:29 @Are not sparrows two a farthing? and not one of them comes to an end without your Father:

bbe@Matthew:10:30 @But the hairs of your head are all numbered.

bbe@Matthew:10:31 @Then have no fear; you are of more value than a flock of sparrows.

bbe@Matthew:10:33 @But if anyone says before men that he has no knowledge of me, I will say that I have no knowledge of him before my Father in heaven.

bbe@Matthew:10:36 @And a man will be hated by those of his house.

bbe@Matthew:10:39 @He who has the desire to keep his life will have it taken from him, and he who gives up his life because of me will have it given back to him.

bbe@Matthew:10:41 @He who gives honour to a prophet, in the name of a prophet, will be given a prophet's reward; and he who gives honour to an upright man, in the name of an upright man, will be given an upright man's reward.

bbe@Matthew:10:42 @And whoever gives to one of these little ones a cup of cold water only, in the name of a disciple, truly I say to you, he will not go without his reward.

bbe@Matthew:11:1 @And it came about that when Jesus had come to the end of giving these orders to his twelve disciples, he went away from there, teaching and preaching in their towns.

bbe@Matthew:11:2 @Now when John had news in prison of the works of the Christ, he sent his disciples

bbe@Matthew:11:4 @And Jesus, answering, said to them, Go and give news to John of the things which you are seeing and hearing:

bbe@Matthew:11:7 @And when they were going away, Jesus, talking of John, said to all the people, What went you out into the waste land to see? a tall stem moving in the wind?

bbe@Matthew:11:10 @This is he of whom it has been said, See, I send my servant before your face, who will make ready your way before you.

bbe@Matthew:11:11 @Truly I say to you, Among the sons of women there has not been a greater than John the Baptist: but he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he

bbe@Matthew:11:12 @And from the days of John the Baptist till now, the kingdom of heaven is forcing its way in, and men of force take it.

bbe@Matthew:11:16 @But what comparison may I make of this generation? It is like children seated in the market-places, crying out to one another,

bbe@Matthew:11:17 @We made music for you and you did not take part in the dance; we gave cries of sorrow and you made no signs of grief.

bbe@Matthew:11:19 @The Son of man has come feasting, and they say, See, a lover of food and wine, a friend of tax-farmers and sinners! And wisdom is judged to be right by her works.

bbe@Matthew:11:20 @Then he went on to say hard things to the towns where most of his works of power were done, because they had not been turned from their sins.

bbe@Matthew:11:21 @Unhappy are you, Chorazin! Unhappy are you, Beth-saida! For if the works of power which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have been turned from their sins in days gone by, clothing themselves in haircloth and putting dust on their heads.

bbe@Matthew:11:22 @But I say to you, It will be better for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judging, than for you.

bbe@Matthew:11:23 @And you, Capernaum, were you not to be lifted up to heaven? you will go down into hell: for if the works of power which were done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have been here to this day.

bbe@Matthew:11:24 @But I say to you that it will be better for the land of Sodom in the day of judging, than for you.

bbe@Matthew:11:25 @At that time Jesus made answer and said, I give praise to you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have kept these things secret from the wise and the men of learning, and have made them clear to little children.

bbe@Matthew:11:27 @All things have been given to me by my Father; and no one has knowledge of the Son, but the Father; and no one has knowledge of the Father, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will make it clear.

bbe@Matthew:12:1 @At that time Jesus went through the fields on the Sabbath day; and his disciples, being in need of food, were taking the heads of grain.

bbe@Matthew:12:3 @But he said to them, Have you no knowledge of what David did when he had need of food, and those who were with him?

bbe@Matthew:12:4 @How he went into the house of God and took for food the holy bread which it was not right for him or for those who were with him to take, but only for the priests?

bbe@Matthew:12:7 @But if these words had been in your minds, My desire is for mercy and not for offerings, you would not have been judging those who have done no wrong.

bbe@Matthew:12:8 @For the Son of man is lord of the Sabbath.

bbe@Matthew:12:11 @And he said to them, Which of you, having a sheep, if it gets into a hole on the Sabbath day, will not put out a helping hand and get it back?

bbe@Matthew:12:12 @Of how much more value is a man than a sheep! For this reason it is right to do good on the Sabbath day.

bbe@Matthew:12:15 @And Jesus, having knowledge of this, went away from there, and a great number went after him; and he made them all well,

bbe@Matthew:12:16 @Ordering them not to give people word of him:

bbe@Matthew:12:18 @See my servant, the man of my selection, my loved one in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my Spirit on him, and he will make my decision clear to the Gentiles.

bbe@Matthew:12:22 @Then they took to him one with an evil spirit, who was blind and had no power of talking: and he made him well so that he had the power of talking and seeing.

bbe@Matthew:12:23 @And all the people were surprised and said, Is not this the Son of David?

bbe@Matthew:12:24 @But the Pharisees, hearing of it, said, This man only sends evil spirits out of men by Beelzebub, the ruler of evil spirits.

bbe@Matthew:12:25 @And having knowledge of their thoughts he said to them, Every kingdom having division in itself is made waste, and every town or house having division in itself will come to destruction.

bbe@Matthew:12:27 @And if I by Beelzebub send evil spirits out of men, by whom do your sons send them out? So let them be your judges.

bbe@Matthew:12:28 @But if I by the Spirit of God send out evil spirits, then is the kingdom of God come on you.

bbe@Matthew:12:32 @And whoever says a word against the Son of man, will have forgiveness; but whoever says a word against the Holy Spirit, will not have forgiveness in this life or in that which is to come.

bbe@Matthew:12:33 @Make the tree good, and its fruit good; or make the tree bad, and its fruit bad; for by its fruit you will get knowledge of the tree.

bbe@Matthew:12:34 @You offspring of snakes, how are you, being evil, able to say good things? because out of the heart's store come the words of the mouth.

bbe@Matthew:12:35 @The good man out of his good store gives good things; and the evil man out of his evil store gives evil things.

bbe@Matthew:12:36 @And I say to you that in the day when they are judged, men will have to give an account of every foolish word they have said.

bbe@Matthew:12:38 @Then some of the scribes and Pharisees, hearing this, said to him, Master, we are looking for a sign from you.

bbe@Matthew:12:39 @But he, answering, said to them, An evil and false generation is looking for a sign; and no sign will be given to it but the sign of the prophet Jonah:

bbe@Matthew:12:40 @For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the stomach of the great fish, so will the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

bbe@Matthew:12:41 @The men of Nineveh will come up in the day of judging and give their decision against this generation: because they were turned from their sins at the preaching of Jonah; and now a greater than Jonah is here.

bbe@Matthew:12:42 @The queen of the South will come up in the day of judging and give her decision against this generation: for she came from the ends of the earth to give ear to the wisdom of Solomon; and now a greater than Solomon is here.

bbe@Matthew:12:43 @But the unclean spirit, when he is gone out of a man, goes through dry places looking for rest, and getting it not.

bbe@Matthew:12:45 @Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits worse than himself, and they go in and make it their living-place: and the last condition of that man is worse than the first. Even so will it be with this evil generation.

bbe@Matthew:12:50 @For whoever does the pleasure of my Father in heaven, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.

bbe@Matthew:13:1 @On that day Jesus went out of the house and was seated by the seaside.

bbe@Matthew:13:2 @And great numbers of people came together to him, so that he got into a boat; and the people took up their position by the sea.

bbe@Matthew:13:3 @And he gave them teaching in the form of a story, saying, A man went out to put seed in the earth;

bbe@Matthew:13:5 @And some of the seed went among the stones, where it had not much earth, and straight away it came up because the earth was not deep:

bbe@Matthew:13:10 @And the disciples came and said to him, Why do you say things to them in the form of stories?

bbe@Matthew:13:11 @And he said to them in answer, To you is given the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

bbe@Matthew:13:13 @For this reason I put things into the form of stories; because they see without seeing, and give ear without hearing, and the sense is not clear to them.

bbe@Matthew:13:14 @And for them the words of Isaiah have come true, Though you give ear, you will not get knowledge; and seeing, you will see, but the sense will not be clear to you:

bbe@Matthew:13:15 @For the heart of this people has become fat and their ears are slow in hearing and their eyes are shut; for fear that they might see with their eyes and give hearing with their ears and become wise in their hearts and be turned again to me, so that I might make them well

bbe@Matthew:13:17 @For truly, I say to you that prophets and upright men had a desire to see the things which you see, and saw them not; and to have knowledge of the words which have come to your ears, and they had it not.

bbe@Matthew:13:18 @Give ear, then, to the story of the man who put the seed in the earth.

bbe@Matthew:13:19 @When the word of the kingdom comes to anyone, and the sense of it is not clear to him, then the Evil One comes, and quickly takes away that which was put in his heart. He is the seed dropped by the wayside.

bbe@Matthew:13:21 @But having no root in himself, he goes on for a time; and when trouble comes or pain, because of the word, he quickly becomes full of doubts.

bbe@Matthew:13:22 @And that which was dropped among the thorns, this is he who has the word; and the cares of this life, and the deceits of wealth, put a stop to the growth of the word and it gives no fruit.

bbe@Matthew:13:23 @And the seed which was put in good earth, this is he who gives ear to the word, and gets the sense of it; who gives fruit, some a hundred, some sixty, some thirty times as much.

bbe@Matthew:13:24 @And he gave them another story, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like a man who put good seed in his field:

bbe@Matthew:13:27 @And the servants of the master of the house came and said to him, Sir, did you not put good seed in your field? how then has it evil plants?

bbe@Matthew:13:30 @Let them come up together till the getting in of the grain; and then I will say to the workers, Take up first the evil plants, and put them together for burning: but put the grain into my store-house.

bbe@Matthew:13:31 @He put another story before them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed which a man took and put in his field:

bbe@Matthew:13:32 @Which is smaller than all seeds; but when it has come up it is greater than the plants, and becomes a tree, so that the birds of heaven come and make their resting-places in its branches.

bbe@Matthew:13:33 @Another story he gave to them: The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took, and put in three measures of meal, till it was all leavened.

bbe@Matthew:13:34 @All these things Jesus said to the people in the form of stories; and without a story he said nothing to them:

bbe@Matthew:13:35 @That it might come true which was said by the prophet, Opening my mouth, I will give out stories; I will give knowledge of things kept secret from before all time.

bbe@Matthew:13:36 @Then he went away from the people, and went into the house; and his disciples came to him, saying, Make clear to us the story of the evil plants in the field.

bbe@Matthew:13:37 @And he made answer and said, He who puts the good seed in the earth is the Son of man;

bbe@Matthew:13:38 @And the field is the world; and the good seed is the sons of the kingdom; and the evil seeds are the sons of the Evil One;

bbe@Matthew:13:39 @And he who put them in the earth is Satan; and the getting in of the grain is the end of the world; and those who get it in are the angels.

bbe@Matthew:13:40 @As then the evil plants are got together and burned with fire, so will it be in the end of the world.

bbe@Matthew:13:41 @The Son of man will send out his angels, and they will take out of his kingdom everything which is a cause of error, and all those who do wrong,

bbe@Matthew:13:42 @And will put them into the fire; there will be weeping and cries of sorrow.

bbe@Matthew:13:43 @Then will the upright be shining as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him give ear.

bbe@Matthew:13:44 @The kingdom of heaven is like a secret store of wealth in a field, which a man came across and put back again; and in his joy he goes and gives all he has, to get that field.

bbe@Matthew:13:45 @Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a trader searching for beautiful jewels.

bbe@Matthew:13:46 @And having come across one jewel of great price, he went and gave all he had in exchange for it.

bbe@Matthew:13:47 @Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net, which was put into the sea and took in every sort of fish:

bbe@Matthew:13:49 @So will it be in the end of the world: the angels will come and take out the bad from the good,

bbe@Matthew:13:50 @And will put them into the fire: there will be weeping and cries of sorrow.

bbe@Matthew:13:52 @And he said to them, For this reason every scribe who has become a disciple of the kingdom of heaven is like the owner of a house, who gives out from his store things new and old.

bbe@Matthew:13:53 @And when Jesus had come to the end of these stories he went away from there.

bbe@Matthew:13:54 @And coming into his country, he gave them teaching in their Synagogue, so that they were greatly surprised and said, Where did this man get this wisdom and these works of power?

bbe@Matthew:13:58 @And the works of power which he did there were small in number because they had no faith.

bbe@Matthew:14:1 @At that time news of Jesus came to Herod the king;

bbe@Matthew:14:3 @For Herod had taken John and put him in prison because of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife.

bbe@Matthew:14:5 @And he would have put him to death, but for his fear of the people, because in their eyes John was a prophet.

bbe@Matthew:14:6 @But when Herod's birthday came, the daughter of Herodias was dancing before them, and Herod was pleased with her.

bbe@Matthew:14:8 @And she, at her mother's suggestion, said, Give me here on a plate the head of John the Baptist.

bbe@Matthew:14:9 @And the king was sad; but because of his oaths and because of his guests, he gave the order for it to be given to her;

bbe@Matthew:14:10 @And he sent and had John's head cut off in the prison.

bbe@Matthew:14:12 @And his disciples came, and took up his body and put it in the earth; and they went and gave Jesus news of what had taken place.

bbe@Matthew:14:13 @Now when it came to the ears of Jesus, he went away from there in a boat, to a waste place by himself: and the people hearing of it, went after him on foot from the towns.

bbe@Matthew:14:14 @And he came out and saw a great number of people and he had pity on them, and made well those of them who were ill.

bbe@Matthew:14:17 @And they say to him, We have here but five cakes of bread and two fishes

bbe@Matthew:14:19 @And he gave orders for the people to be seated on the grass; and he took the five cakes of bread and the two fishes and, looking up to heaven, he said words of blessing, and made division of the food, and gave it to the disciples, and the disciples gave it to the people.

bbe@Matthew:14:20 @And they all took of the food and had enough: and they took up twelve baskets full of broken bits which were not used.

bbe@Matthew:14:24 @But the boat was now in the middle of the sea, and was troubled by the waves: for the wind was against them.

bbe@Matthew:14:25 @And in the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea.

bbe@Matthew:14:26 @And when they saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they gave cries of fear.

bbe@Matthew:14:29 @And he said, Come. And Peter got out of the boat, and walking on the water, went to Jesus.

bbe@Matthew:14:31 @And straight away Jesus put out his hand and took a grip of him, and said to him, O man of little faith, why were you in doubt?

bbe@Matthew:14:33 @And those who were in the boat gave him worship, saying, Truly you are the Son of God.

bbe@Matthew:14:35 @And when the men of that place had news of him, they sent into all the country round about, and took to him all who were ill,

bbe@Matthew:14:36 @With the request that they might only put their hands on the edge of his robe: and all those who did so were made well.

bbe@Matthew:15:2 @Why do your disciples go against the teaching of the fathers? for they take food with unwashed hands.

bbe@Matthew:15:3 @And in answer he said to them, Why do you, yourselves, go against the word of God on account of the teaching which has been handed down to you?

bbe@Matthew:15:4 @For God said, Give honour to your father and mother: and, He who says evil of father or mother will be put to death.

bbe@Matthew:15:5 @But you say, If a man says to his father or his mother, That by which you might have had profit from me is given to God;

bbe@Matthew:15:6 @There is no need for him to give honour to his father. And you have made the word of God without effect because of your teaching.

bbe@Matthew:15:7 @You false ones, well did Isaiah say of you,

bbe@Matthew:15:9 @But their worship is to no purpose, while they give as their teaching the rules of men.

bbe@Matthew:15:11 @Not that which goes into the mouth makes a man unclean, but that which comes out of the mouth.

bbe@Matthew:15:18 @But the things which come out of the mouth come from the heart; and they make a man unclean.

bbe@Matthew:15:19 @For out of the heart come evil thoughts, the taking of life, broken faith between the married, unclean desires of the flesh, taking of property, false witness, bitter words:

bbe@Matthew:15:21 @And Jesus went away from there into the country of Tyre and Sidon.

bbe@Matthew:15:22 @And a woman of Canaan came out from those parts, crying and saying, Have pity on me, O Lord, Son of David; my daughter is greatly troubled with an unclean spirit.

bbe@Matthew:15:24 @But he made answer and said, I was sent only to the wandering sheep of the house of Israel.

bbe@Matthew:15:29 @And Jesus went from there and came to the sea of Galilee; and he went up into the mountain, and took his seat there.

bbe@Matthew:15:30 @And there came to him great numbers of people having with them those who were broken in body, or blind, or without voice, or wounded, or ill in any way, and a number of others; they put them down at his feet and he made them well:

bbe@Matthew:15:31 @So that the people were full of wonder when they saw that those who had no voice were talking, the feeble were made strong, those whose bodies were broken had the power of walking, and the blind were able to see: and they gave glory to the God of Israel.

bbe@Matthew:15:33 @And the disciples say to him, How may we get enough bread in a waste place, to give food to such a number of people?

bbe@Matthew:15:36 @And he took the seven cakes of bread and the fishes; and having given praise, he gave the broken bread to the disciples, and the disciples gave it to the people.

bbe@Matthew:15:37 @And they all took food, and had enough; and they took up of the broken bits, seven baskets full.

bbe@Matthew:15:39 @And when he had sent the people away, he got into the boat, and came into the country of Magadan.

bbe@Matthew:16:3 @And in the morning, The weather will be bad today, for the sky is red and angry. You are able to see the face of heaven, but not the signs of the times.

bbe@Matthew:16:4 @An evil and false generation is searching after a sign; and no sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah. And he went away from them.

bbe@Matthew:16:6 @And Jesus said to them, Take care to have nothing to do with the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

bbe@Matthew:16:8 @And Jesus, seeing it, said, O you of little faith, why are you reasoning among yourselves, because you have no bread?

bbe@Matthew:16:9 @Do you still not see, or keep in mind the five cakes of bread of the five thousand, and the number of baskets you took up?

bbe@Matthew:16:10 @Or the seven cakes of bread of the four thousand, and the number of baskets you took up?

bbe@Matthew:16:11 @How is it that you do not see that I was not talking to you about bread, but about keeping away from the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees?

bbe@Matthew:16:12 @Then they saw that it was not the leaven of bread which he had in mind, but the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

bbe@Matthew:16:13 @Now when Jesus had come into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, he said, questioning his disciples, Who do men say that the Son of man is?

bbe@Matthew:16:14 @And they said, Some say, John the Baptist; some, Elijah; and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.

bbe@Matthew:16:16 @And Simon Peter made answer and said, You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.

bbe@Matthew:16:18 @And I say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock will my church be based, and the doors of hell will not overcome it.

bbe@Matthew:16:19 @I will give to you the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatever is fixed by you on earth will be fixed in heaven: and whatever you make free on earth will be made free in heaven.

bbe@Matthew:16:21 @From that time Jesus went on to make clear to his disciples how he would have to go up to Jerusalem, and undergo much at the hands of those in authority and the chief priests and scribes, and be put to death, and the third day come again from the dead

bbe@Matthew:16:23 @But he, turning to Peter, said, Get out of my way, Satan: you are a danger to me because your mind is not on the things of God, but on the things of men.

bbe@Matthew:16:25 @Because whoever has a desire to keep his life safe will have it taken from him; but whoever gives up his life because of me, will have it given back to him.

bbe@Matthew:16:26 @For what profit has a man, if he gets all the world with the loss of his life? or what will a man give in exchange for his life?

bbe@Matthew:16:27 @For the Son of man will come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he will give to every man the reward of his works.

bbe@Matthew:16:28 @Truly I say to you, There are some of those here who will not have a taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

bbe@Matthew:17:5 @While he was still talking, a bright cloud came over them: and a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my dearly loved Son, with whom I am well pleased; give ear to him.

bbe@Matthew:17:9 @And when they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus gave them orders, saying, Let no man have word of what you have seen, till the Son of man has come again from the dead.

bbe@Matthew:17:12 @But I say to you that Elijah has come, and they had no knowledge of him, but did to him whatever they were pleased to do; the same will the Son of man undergo at their hands.

bbe@Matthew:17:13 @Then the disciples saw that he was talking to them of John the Baptist.

bbe@Matthew:17:15 @Lord have mercy on my son: for he is off his head, and is in great pain; and frequently he goes falling into the fire, and frequently into the water.

bbe@Matthew:17:18 @And Jesus gave orders to the unclean spirit, and it went out of him: and the boy was made well from that hour.

bbe@Matthew:17:20 @And he says to them, Because of your little faith: for truly I say to you, If you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, Be moved from this place to that; and it will be moved; and nothing will be impossible to you.

bbe@Matthew:17:22 @And while they were going about in Galilee, Jesus said to them, The Son of man will be given up into the hands of men;

bbe@Matthew:17:24 @And when they had come to Capernaum, those who took the Temple tax came to Peter and said, Does not your master make payment of the Temple tax?

bbe@Matthew:17:25 @He says, Yes. And when he came into the house, Jesus said to him, What is your opinion, Simon? from whom do the kings of the earth get payment or tax? from their sons or from other people?

bbe@Matthew:17:27 @But, so that we may not be a cause of trouble to them, go to the sea, and let down a hook, and take the first fish which comes up; and in his mouth you will see a bit of money: take that, and give it to them for me and you.

bbe@Matthew:18:1 @In that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Who is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

bbe@Matthew:18:2 @And he took a little child, and put him in the middle of them,

bbe@Matthew:18:3 @And said, Truly, I say to you, If you do not have a change of heart and become like little children, you will not go into the kingdom of heaven.

bbe@Matthew:18:4 @Whoever, then, will make himself as low as this little child, the same is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

bbe@Matthew:18:6 @But whoever is a cause of trouble to one of these little ones who have faith in me, it would be better for him to have a great stone fixed to his neck, and to come to his end in the deep sea.

bbe@Matthew:18:7 @A curse is on the earth because of trouble! for it is necessary for trouble to come; but unhappy is that man through whom the trouble comes.

bbe@Matthew:18:8 @And if your hand or your foot is a cause of trouble, let it be cut off and put it away from you: it is better for you to go into life with the loss of a hand or a foot than, having two hands or two feet, to go into the eternal fire.

bbe@Matthew:18:9 @And if your eye is a cause of trouble to you, take it out, and put it away from you: it is better for you to go into life with one eye than, having two eyes, to go into the hell of fire.

bbe@Matthew:18:10 @Let it not seem to you that one of these little ones is of no value; for I say to you that in heaven their angels see at all times the face of my Father in heaven

bbe@Matthew:18:12 @What would you say now? if a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone wandering away, will he not let the ninety-nine be, and go to the mountains in search of the wandering one?

bbe@Matthew:18:13 @And if he comes across it, truly I say to you, he has more joy over it than over the ninety-nine which have not gone out of the way.

bbe@Matthew:18:14 @Even so it is not the pleasure of your Father in heaven for one of these little ones to come to destruction.

bbe@Matthew:18:16 @But if he will not give ear to you, take with you one or two more, that by the lips of two or three witnesses every word may be made certain.

bbe@Matthew:18:17 @And if he will not give ear to them, let it come to the hearing of the church: and if he will not give ear to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax-farmer.

bbe@Matthew:18:19 @Again, I say to you, that if two of you are in agreement on earth about anything for which they will make a request, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven.

bbe@Matthew:18:21 @Then Peter came and said to him, Lord, what number of times may my brother do wrong against me, and I give him forgiveness? till seven times?

bbe@Matthew:18:23 @For this reason the kingdom of heaven is like a king, who went over his accounts with his servants.

bbe@Matthew:18:27 @And the lord of that servant, being moved with pity, let him go, and made him free of the debt.

bbe@Matthew:18:28 @But that servant went out, and meeting one of the other servants, who was in debt to him for one hundred pence, he took him by the throat, saying, Make payment of your debt.

bbe@Matthew:18:30 @And he would not: but went and put him into prison till he had made payment of the debt.

bbe@Matthew:18:31 @So when the other servants saw what was done they were very sad, and came and gave word to their lord of what had been done.

bbe@Matthew:18:32 @Then his lord sent for him and said, You evil servant; I made you free of all that debt, because of your request to me:

bbe@Matthew:18:34 @And his lord was very angry, and put him in the hands of those who would give him punishment till he made payment of all the debt.

bbe@Matthew:19:1 @And it came about that after saying these words, Jesus went away from Galilee, and came into the parts of Judaea on the other side of Jordan.

bbe@Matthew:19:8 @He says to them, Moses, because of your hard hearts, let you put away your wives: but it has not been so from the first.

bbe@Matthew:19:9 @And I say to you, Whoever puts away his wife for any other cause than the loss of her virtue, and takes another, is a false husband: and he who takes her as his wife when she is put away, is no true husband to her.

bbe@Matthew:19:10 @The disciples say to him, If this is the position of a man in relation to his wife, it is better not to be married

bbe@Matthew:19:12 @For there are men who, from birth, were without sex: and there are some who were made so by men: and there are others who have made themselves so for the kingdom of heaven. He who is able to take it, let him take it.

bbe@Matthew:19:14 @But Jesus said, Let the little ones come to me, and do not keep them away: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

bbe@Matthew:19:17 @And he said to him, Why are you questioning me about what is good? One there is who is good: but if you have a desire to go into life, keep the rules of the law.

bbe@Matthew:19:23 @And Jesus said to his disciples, Truly I say to you, It is hard for a man with much money to go into the kingdom of heaven.

bbe@Matthew:19:24 @And again I say to you, It is simpler for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a man with much money to go into the kingdom of God.

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

bbe@Matthew:20:1 @For the kingdom of heaven is like the master of a house, who went out early in the morning to get workers into his vine-garden.

bbe@Matthew:20:8 @And when evening came, the lord of the vine-garden said to his manager, Let the workers come, and give them their payment, from the last to the first.

bbe@Matthew:20:11 @And when they got it, they made a protest against the master of the house,

bbe@Matthew:20:12 @Saying, These last have done only one hour's work, and you have made them equal to us, who have undergone the hard work of the day and the burning heat

bbe@Matthew:20:13 @But he in answer said to one of them, Friend, I do you no wrong: did you not make an agreement with me for a penny?

bbe@Matthew:20:18 @See, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man will be given into the hands of the chief priests and scribes; and they will give orders for him to be put to death,

bbe@Matthew:20:19 @And will give him up to the Gentiles to be made sport of and to be whipped and to be put to death on the cross: and the third day he will come back again from the dead.

bbe@Matthew:20:20 @Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to him with her sons, giving him worship and making a request of him.

bbe@Matthew:20:22 @But Jesus made answer and said, You have no idea what you are requesting. Are you able to take of the cup which I am about to take?

bbe@Matthew:20:23 @They say to him, We are able. He says to them, Truly, you will take of my cup: but to be seated at my right hand and at my left is not for me to give, but it is for those for whom my Father has made it ready.

bbe@Matthew:20:24 @And when it came to the ears of the ten, they were angry with the two brothers.

bbe@Matthew:20:25 @But Jesus said to them, You see that the rulers of the Gentiles are lords over them, and their great ones have authority over them.

bbe@Matthew:20:28 @Even as the Son of man did not come to have servants, but to be a servant, and to give his life for the salvation of men.

bbe@Matthew:20:30 @And two blind men seated by the wayside, when they had the news that Jesus was going by, gave a loud cry, saying, Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us.

bbe@Matthew:20:31 @And the people gave them orders to be quiet; but they went on crying even louder, Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us.

bbe@Matthew:21:1 @And when they were near Jerusalem, and had come to Beth-phage, to the Mountain of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples,

bbe@Matthew:21:2 @Saying to them, Go into the little town in front of you, and straight away you will see an ass with a cord round her neck, and a young one with her; let them loose and come with them to me.

bbe@Matthew:21:3 @And if anyone says anything to you, you will say, The Lord has need of them; and straight away he will send them.

bbe@Matthew:21:4 @Now this took place so that these words of the prophet might come true,

bbe@Matthew:21:5 @Say to the daughter of Zion, See, your King comes to you, gentle and seated on an ass, and on a young ass.

bbe@Matthew:21:9 @And those who went before him, and those who came after, gave loud cries, saying, Glory to the Son of David: A blessing on him who comes in the name of the Lord: Glory in the highest.

bbe@Matthew:21:11 @And the people said, This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee.

bbe@Matthew:21:12 @And Jesus went into the Temple and sent out all who were trading there, overturning the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those trading in doves.

bbe@Matthew:21:13 @And he said to them, It is in the Writings, My house is to be named a house of prayer, but you are making it a hole of thieves.

bbe@Matthew:21:15 @But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the works of power which he did, and the children crying out in the Temple, Glory to the son of David, they were angry and said to him,

bbe@Matthew:21:16 @Have you any idea what these are saying? And Jesus said to them, Yes: have you not seen in the Writings, From the lips of children and babies at the breast you have made your praise complete?

bbe@Matthew:21:17 @And he went away from them, and went out of the town to Bethany, and was there for the night.

bbe@Matthew:21:25 @The baptism of John, where did it come from? from heaven or from men? And they were reasoning among themselves, saying, If we say, From heaven; he will say to us, Why then did you not have faith in him?

bbe@Matthew:21:26 @But if we say, From men; we are in fear of the people, because all take John to be a prophet.

bbe@Matthew:21:31 @Which of the two did his father's pleasure? They say, The first. Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you, that tax-farmers and loose women are going into the kingdom of God before you.

bbe@Matthew:21:32 @For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you had no faith in him, but the tax-farmers and the loose women had faith in him: and you, when you saw it, did not even have regret for your sins, so as to have faith in him.

bbe@Matthew:21:33 @Give ear to another story. A master of a house made a vine garden, and put a wall round it, and made a place for crushing out the wine, and made a tower, and let it out to field-workers, and went into another country.

bbe@Matthew:21:38 @But when the workmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is he who will one day be the owner of the property; come, let us put him to death and take his heritage.

bbe@Matthew:21:39 @And they took him and, driving him out of the vine-garden, put him to death.

bbe@Matthew:21:40 @When, then, the lord of the vine-garden comes, what will he do to those workmen?

bbe@Matthew:21:42 @Jesus says to them, Did you never see in the Writings, The stone which the builders put on one side, the same has been made the chief stone of the building: this was the Lord's doing, and it is a wonder in our eyes?

bbe@Matthew:21:43 @For this reason I say to you, The kingdom of God will be taken away from you, and will be given to a nation producing the fruits of it.

bbe@Matthew:21:45 @And when his stories came to the ears of the chief priests and the Pharisees, they saw that he was talking of them.

bbe@Matthew:21:46 @And though they had a desire to take him, they were in fear of the people, because in their eyes he was a prophet.

bbe@Matthew:22:2 @The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king, who made a feast when his son was married,

bbe@Matthew:22:10 @And those servants went out into the streets, and got together all those whom they came across, bad and good: and the feast was full of guests.

bbe@Matthew:22:13 @Then the king said to the servants, Put cords round his hands and feet and put him out into the dark; there will be weeping and cries of sorrow.

bbe@Matthew:22:14 @For out of all to whom the good news has come, only a small number will get salvation.

bbe@Matthew:22:15 @Then the Pharisees went and had a meeting to see how they might make use of his words to take him.

bbe@Matthew:22:16 @And they sent to him their disciples, with the Herodians, saying, Master, we see that you are true, and that you are teaching the true way of God, and have no fear of anyone, because you have no respect for a man's position

bbe@Matthew:22:17 @Give us, then, your opinion of this: Is it right to give tax to Caesar, or not?

bbe@Matthew:22:22 @And hearing it, they were full of wonder, and went away from him.

bbe@Matthew:22:24 @Master, Moses said, If a man, at the time of his death, has no children, let his brother take his wife, and get a family for his brother;

bbe@Matthew:22:27 @And last of all the woman came to her end.

bbe@Matthew:22:28 @When they come back from the dead, then, whose wife will she be of the seven? because they all had her.

bbe@Matthew:22:29 @But Jesus said to them in answer, You are in error, not having knowledge of the Writings, or of the power of God.

bbe@Matthew:22:31 @But about the dead coming back to life, have you no knowledge of what was said to you by God in the Writings:

bbe@Matthew:22:32 @I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead but of the living.

bbe@Matthew:22:34 @But the Pharisees, hearing how the mouths of the Sadducees had been stopped, came together;

bbe@Matthew:22:35 @And one of them, a teacher of the law, put a question to him, testing him, and saying,

bbe@Matthew:22:42 @What is your opinion of the Christ? whose son is he? They say to him, The Son of David.

bbe@Matthew:22:43 @He says to them, How then does David in the Spirit give him the name of Lord, saying,

bbe@Matthew:22:45 @If David then gives him the name of Lord, how is he his son?

bbe@Matthew:22:46 @And no one was able to give him an answer, and so great was their fear of him, that from that day no one put any more questions to him.

bbe@Matthew:23:2 @The scribes and the Pharisees have the authority of Moses;

bbe@Matthew:23:5 @But all their works they do so as to be seen by men: for they make wide their phylacteries, and the edges of their robes,

bbe@Matthew:23:7 @And words of respect in the market-places, and to be named by men, Teacher.

bbe@Matthew:23:9 @And give no man the name of father on earth: because one is your Father, who is in heaven.

bbe@Matthew:23:13 @But a curse is on you, scribes and Pharisees, false ones! because you are shutting the kingdom of heaven against men: for you do not go in yourselves, and those who are going in, you keep back.

bbe@Matthew:23:15 @A curse is on you, scribes and Pharisees, false ones! for you go about land and sea to get one disciple and, having him, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves.

bbe@Matthew:23:16 @A curse is on you, blind guides, who say, Whoever takes an oath by the Temple, it is nothing; but whoever takes an oath by the gold of the Temple, he is responsible.

bbe@Matthew:23:18 @And, Whoever takes an oath by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever takes an oath by the offering which is on it, he is responsible

bbe@Matthew:23:19 @You blind ones: which is greater, the offering, or the altar which makes the offering holy?

bbe@Matthew:23:22 @And he who takes an oath by heaven, takes it by the seat of God, and by him who is seated on it.

bbe@Matthew:23:23 @A curse is on you, scribes and Pharisees, false ones! for you make men give a tenth of all sorts of sweet-smelling plants, but you give no thought to the more important things of the law, righteousness, and mercy, and faith; but it is right for you to do these, and not to let the others be undone.

bbe@Matthew:23:25 @A curse is on you, scribes and Pharisees, false ones! for you make clean the outside of the cup and of the plate, but inside they are full of violent behaviour and uncontrolled desire.

bbe@Matthew:23:26 @You blind Pharisee, first make clean the inside of the cup and of the plate, so that the outside may become equally clean.

bbe@Matthew:23:27 @A curse is on you, scribes and Pharisees, false ones! for you are like the resting-places of the dead, which are made white, and seem beautiful on the outside, but inside are full of dead men's bones and of all unclean things.

bbe@Matthew:23:28 @Even so you seem to men to be full of righteousness, but inside you are all false and full of wrongdoing.

bbe@Matthew:23:29 @A curse is on you, scribes and Pharisees, false ones! because you put up buildings for housing the dead bodies of the prophets, and make fair the last resting-places of good men, and say,

bbe@Matthew:23:30 @If we had been living in the days of our fathers, we would not have taken part with them in the blood of the prophets.

bbe@Matthew:23:31 @So that you are witnesses against yourselves that you are the sons of those who put the prophets to death.

bbe@Matthew:23:32 @Make full, then, the measure of your fathers.

bbe@Matthew:23:33 @You snakes, offspring of snakes, how will you be kept from the punishment of hell?

bbe@Matthew:23:34 @For this reason, I send you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: some of them you will put to death and put on the cross, and to some of them you will give blows in your Synagogues, driving them from town to town;

bbe@Matthew:23:35 @So that on you may come all the blood of the upright on the earth, from the blood of upright Abel to the blood of Zachariah, son of Barachiah, whom you put to death between the Temple and the altar.

bbe@Matthew:23:39 @For I say to you, You will not see me from this time till you say, A blessing on him who comes in the name of the Lord.

bbe@Matthew:24:1 @And Jesus went out of the Temple, and on the way his disciples came to him, pointing out the buildings of the Temple.

bbe@Matthew:24:3 @And while he was seated on the Mountain of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, Make clear to us, when will these things be? and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the world?

bbe@Matthew:24:6 @And news will come to you of wars and talk of wars: do not be troubled, for these things have to be; but it is still not the end.

bbe@Matthew:24:8 @But all these things are the first of the troubles.

bbe@Matthew:24:9 @Then they will be cruel to you, and will put you to death: and you will be hated by all nations because of my name.

bbe@Matthew:24:10 @And numbers of people will be turned from the right way, and will give one another up and have hate for one another.

bbe@Matthew:24:11 @And a number of false prophets will come, causing error.

bbe@Matthew:24:12 @And because wrongdoing will be increased, the love of most people will become cold.

bbe@Matthew:24:14 @And this good news of the kingdom will be given through all the world for a witness to all nations; and then the end will come.

bbe@Matthew:24:15 @When, then, you see in the holy place the unclean thing which makes destruction, of which word was given by Daniel the prophet (let this be clear to the reader),

bbe@Matthew:24:17 @Let not him who is on the house-top go down to take anything out of his house:

bbe@Matthew:24:21 @Because in those days there will be great sorrow, such as there has not been from the start of the world till now, or ever will be.

bbe@Matthew:24:22 @And if those days had not been made short there would have been no salvation for any, but because of the saints those days will be made short.

bbe@Matthew:24:27 @Because as in a thunderstorm the bright light coming from the east is seen even in the west; so will be the coming of the Son of man.

bbe@Matthew:24:29 @But straight away, after the trouble of those days, the sun will be made dark and the moon will not give her light and the stars will come down from heaven and the powers of heaven will be moved:

bbe@Matthew:24:30 @And then the sign of the Son of man will be seen in heaven: and then all the nations of the earth will have sorrow, and they will see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

bbe@Matthew:24:31 @And he will send out his angels with a great sound of a horn, and they will get his saints together from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

bbe@Matthew:24:32 @Now take an example from the fig-tree: when her branch has become soft and puts out its leaves, you are certain that the summer is near;

bbe@Matthew:24:36 @But of that day and hour no one has knowledge, not even the angels in heaven, or the Son, but the Father only.

bbe@Matthew:24:37 @And as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of man.

bbe@Matthew:24:38 @Because as in those days before the overflowing of the waters, they were feasting and taking wives and getting married, till the day when Noah went into the ark,

bbe@Matthew:24:39 @And they had no care till the waters came and took them all away; so will be the coming of the Son of man.

bbe@Matthew:24:43 @But be certain of this, that if the master of the house had had knowledge of the time when the thief was coming, he would have been watching, and would not have let his house be broken into.

bbe@Matthew:24:44 @Be ready then; for at a time which you have no thought of the Son of man will come.

bbe@Matthew:24:50 @The lord of that servant will come in a day when he is not looking for him, and in an hour of which he has no knowledge,

bbe@Matthew:24:51 @And will have him cut in two, and will give him a part in the fate of the false ones: there will be weeping and cries of sorrow.

bbe@Matthew:25:1 @Then the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins, the friends of the bride, who took their lights, and went out with the purpose of meeting the husband.

bbe@Matthew:25:2 @And five of them were foolish, and five were wise.

bbe@Matthew:25:6 @But in the middle of the night there is a cry, The husband comes! Go out to him.

bbe@Matthew:25:8 @And the foolish said to the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lights are going out.

bbe@Matthew:25:12 @But he made answer and said, Truly I say to you, I have no knowledge of you.

bbe@Matthew:25:13 @Keep watch, then, because you are not certain of the day or of the hour.

bbe@Matthew:25:19 @Now after a long time the lord of those servants comes, and makes up his account with them.

bbe@Matthew:25:21 @His lord said to him, Well done, good and true servant: you have been true in a small thing, I will give you control over great things: take your part in the joy of your lord.

bbe@Matthew:25:23 @His lord said to him, Well done, good and true servant: you have been true in a small thing, I will give you control over great things: take your part in the joy of your lord.

bbe@Matthew:25:24 @And he who had had the one talent came and said, Lord, I had knowledge that you are a hard man, getting in grain where you have not put seed, and making profits for which you have done no work:

bbe@Matthew:25:26 @But his lord in answer said to him, You are a bad and unready servant; if you had knowledge that I get in grain where I did not put seed, and make profits for which I have done no work,

bbe@Matthew:25:30 @And put out the servant who is of no profit into the outer dark: there will be weeping and cries of sorrow.

bbe@Matthew:25:31 @But when the Son of man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then will he be seated in his glory:

bbe@Matthew:25:34 @Then will the King say to those on his right, Come, you who have the blessing of my Father, into the kingdom made ready for you before the world was:

bbe@Matthew:25:35 @For I was in need of food, and you gave it to me: I was in need of drink, and you gave it to me: I was wandering, and you took me in;

bbe@Matthew:25:37 @Then will the upright make answer to him, saying, Lord, when did we see you in need of food, and give it to you? or in need of drink, and give it to you?

bbe@Matthew:25:40 @And the King will make answer and say to them, Truly I say to you, Because you did it to the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.

bbe@Matthew:25:42 @For I was in need of food, and you gave it not to me; I was in need of drink, and you gave it not to me:

bbe@Matthew:25:44 @Then will they make answer, saying, Lord, when did we see you in need of food or drink, or wandering, or without clothing, or ill, or in prison, and did not take care of you?

bbe@Matthew:25:45 @Then will he make answer to them, saying, Truly I say to you, Because you did it not to the least of these, you did it not to me.

bbe@Matthew:26:1 @And when Jesus had come to the end of all these words, he said to his disciples,

bbe@Matthew:26:2 @After two days is the Passover, and the Son of man will be given up to the death of the cross.

bbe@Matthew:26:3 @Then the chief priests and the rulers of the people came together in the house of the high priest, who was named Caiaphas.

bbe@Matthew:26:5 @But they said, Not while the feast is going on, for fear of trouble among the people.

bbe@Matthew:26:6 @Now when Jesus was in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper,

bbe@Matthew:26:7 @There came to him a woman having a bottle of perfume of great price, and she put the perfume on his head when he was seated at table.

bbe@Matthew:26:13 @Truly I say to you, Wherever this good news goes out in all the world, what this woman has done will be talked of in memory of her.

bbe@Matthew:26:14 @Then one of the twelve, who was named Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests and said,

bbe@Matthew:26:15 @What will you give me, if I give him up to you? And the price was fixed at thirty bits of silver.

bbe@Matthew:26:17 @Now on the first day of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Where are we to make ready for you to take the Passover meal?

bbe@Matthew:26:21 @And while they were taking food, he said, Truly I say to you that one of you will be false to me.

bbe@Matthew:26:24 @The Son of man goes, even as the Writings say of him: but a curse is on that man through whom the Son of man is given up; it would have been well for that man if he had never come into the world.

bbe@Matthew:26:28 @Take of it, all of you, for this is my blood of the testament, which is given for men for the forgiveness of sins.

bbe@Matthew:26:29 @But I say to you that from now I will not take of this fruit of the vine, till that day when I take it new with you in my Father's kingdom.

bbe@Matthew:26:30 @And after a song of praise to God, they went out to the Mountain of Olives.

bbe@Matthew:26:31 @Then said Jesus to them, All of you will be turned away from me this night: for it is said in the Writings, I will put to death the keeper of the sheep, and the sheep of the flock will be put to flight.

bbe@Matthew:26:34 @Jesus said to him, Truly I say to you that this night, before the hour of the cock's cry, you will say three times that you have no knowledge of me.

bbe@Matthew:26:37 @And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and became sad and very troubled.

bbe@Matthew:26:45 @Then he comes to the disciples; and says to them, Go on sleeping now, and take your rest: for the hour is come, and the Son of man is given into the hands of evil men.

bbe@Matthew:26:47 @And while he was still talking, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a band armed with swords and sticks, from the chief priests and those in authority over the people.

bbe@Matthew:26:51 @And one of those who were with Jesus put out his hand, and took out his sword and gave the servant of the high priest a blow, cutting off his ear.

bbe@Matthew:26:53 @Does it not seem possible to you that if I make request to my Father he will even now send me an army of angels?

bbe@Matthew:26:56 @But all this has taken place so that the writings of the prophets might come true. Then all his disciples went from him in flight.

bbe@Matthew:26:57 @And those who had made Jesus prisoner took him away to the house of Caiaphas, the high priest, where the scribes and those in authority over the people had come together.

bbe@Matthew:26:58 @But Peter went after him at a distance, to the house of the high priest, and went in and took his seat with the servants, to see the end.

bbe@Matthew:26:60 @And they were not able to get it, though a number of false witnesses came.

bbe@Matthew:26:61 @But later there came two who said, This man said, I am able to give the Temple of God to destruction, and to put it up again in three days.

bbe@Matthew:26:63 @But Jesus said not a word. And the high priest said to him, I put you on oath, by the living God, that you will say to us if you are the Christ, the Son of God.

bbe@Matthew:26:64 @Jesus says to him, You say so: but I say to you, From now you will see the Son of man seated at the right hand of power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.

bbe@Matthew:26:65 @Then the high priest, violently parting his robes, said, He has said evil against God: what more need have we of witnesses? for now his words against God have come to your ears:

bbe@Matthew:26:70 @But he said before them all that it was false, saying, I have no knowledge of what you say.

bbe@Matthew:26:72 @And again he said with an oath, I have no knowledge of the man.

bbe@Matthew:26:73 @And after a little time those who were near came and said to Peter, Truly you are one of them; because your talk is witness against you.

bbe@Matthew:26:74 @Then with curses and oaths he said, I have no knowledge of the man. And straight away there came the cry of a cock.

bbe@Matthew:26:75 @And the word of Jesus came back to Peter, when he said, Before the hour of the cock's cry, you will say three times that you have no knowledge of me. And he went out, weeping bitterly.

bbe@Matthew:27:1 @Now when it was morning, all the chief priests and those in authority took thought together with the purpose of putting Jesus to death.

bbe@Matthew:27:3 @Then Judas, who was false to him, seeing that he was to be put to death, in his regret took back the thirty bits of silver to the chief priests and those in authority,

bbe@Matthew:27:6 @And the chief priests took the silver and said, It is not right to put it in the Temple store for it is the price of blood.

bbe@Matthew:27:7 @And they made a decision to get with the silver the potter's field, as a place for the dead of other countries.

bbe@Matthew:27:8 @For this cause that field was named, The field of blood, to this day.

bbe@Matthew:27:9 @Then came true that which was said by Jeremiah the prophet, And they took the thirty bits of silver, the price of him who was valued by the children of Israel;

bbe@Matthew:27:11 @And Jesus was before the ruler, who put a question to him, Are you the King of the Jews? And Jesus said to him, You say so.

bbe@Matthew:27:19 @And while he was on the judge's seat, his wife sent to him, saying, Have nothing to do with that upright man, for I have had much trouble this day in a dream because of him.

bbe@Matthew:27:21 @But the ruler made answer and said to them, Which of the two is it your pleasure that I let go free? And they said, Barabbas.

bbe@Matthew:27:24 @So when Pilate saw that he was able to do nothing, but that trouble was working up, he took water and, washing his hands before the people, said, The blood of this upright man is not on my hands: you are responsible.

bbe@Matthew:27:28 @And they took off his clothing, and put on him a red robe.

bbe@Matthew:27:29 @And they made a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and put a rod in his right hand, and they went down on their knees before him, and made sport of him, saying, Long life to the King of the Jews.

bbe@Matthew:27:31 @And when they had made sport of him, they took the robe off him, and put his clothing on him, and took him away to put him on the cross.

bbe@Matthew:27:32 @And while they were coming out, they saw a man of Cyrene, Simon by name, and they made him go with them, so that he might take up his cross.

bbe@Matthew:27:35 @And when they had put him on the cross, they made division of his clothing among them by the decision of chance.

bbe@Matthew:27:37 @And they put up over his head the statement of his crime in writing, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

bbe@Matthew:27:40 @You who would give the Temple to destruction and put it up again in three days, get yourself free: if you are the Son of God, come down from the cross.

bbe@Matthew:27:41 @In the same way, the chief priests, making sport of him, with the scribes and those in authority, said,

bbe@Matthew:27:42 @A saviour of others, he has no salvation for himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will have faith in him.

bbe@Matthew:27:43 @He put his faith in God; let God be his saviour now, if he will have him; for he said, I am the Son of God.

bbe@Matthew:27:47 @And some of those who were near by, hearing it, said, This man is crying to Elijah.

bbe@Matthew:27:48 @And straight away one of them went quickly, and took a sponge, and made it full of bitter wine, and put it on a rod and gave him drink.

bbe@Matthew:27:51 @And the curtain of the Temple was parted in two from end to end; and there was an earth-shock; and the rocks were broken;

bbe@Matthew:27:52 @And the resting-places of the dead came open; and the bodies of a number of sleeping saints came to life;

bbe@Matthew:27:53 @And coming out of their resting-places, after he had come again from the dead, they went into the holy town and were seen by a number of people.

bbe@Matthew:27:54 @Now the captain and those who were with him watching Jesus, when they saw the earth-shock and the things which were done, were in great fear and said, Truly this was a son of God.

bbe@Matthew:27:55 @And a number of women were there, watching from a distance, who had come with Jesus from Galilee, waiting on his needs.

bbe@Matthew:27:56 @Among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary, the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

bbe@Matthew:27:57 @And in the evening, there came a man of wealth from Arimathaea, Joseph by name, who was a disciple of Jesus:

bbe@Matthew:27:58 @This man went in to Pilate, and made a request for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate gave orders for it to be given to him.

bbe@Matthew:27:60 @And put it in the resting-place which had been cut out of the rock for himself; and after rolling a great stone to the door of it he went away.

bbe@Matthew:27:61 @And Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, seated by the place of the dead.

bbe@Matthew:27:62 @Now on the day after the getting ready of the Passover, the chief priests and Pharisees came together to Pilate,

bbe@Matthew:28:1 @Now late on the Sabbath, when the dawn of the first day of the week was near, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the place where his body was.

bbe@Matthew:28:2 @And there was a great earth-shock; for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, rolling back the stone, took his seat on it.

bbe@Matthew:28:4 @And for fear of him the watchmen were shaking, and became as dead men.

bbe@Matthew:28:11 @Now, while they were going, some of the watchmen came into the town and gave news to the chief priests of all the things which had taken place.

bbe@Matthew:28:19 @Go then, and make disciples of all the nations, giving them baptism in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit:

bbe@Matthew:28:20 @Teaching them to keep all the rules which I have given you: and see, I am ever with you, even to the end of the world.

bbe@Mark:1:1 @The first words of the good news of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

bbe@Mark:1:2 @Even as it is said in the book of Isaiah the prophet, See, I send my servant before your face, who will make ready your way;

bbe@Mark:1:3 @The voice of one crying in the waste land, Make ready the way of the Lord, make his roads straight;

bbe@Mark:1:4 @John came, and gave baptism in the waste land, preaching baptism as a sign of forgiveness of sin for those whose hearts were changed.

bbe@Mark:1:5 @And there went out to him all the people of Judaea, and all those of Jerusalem, and they were given baptism by him in the river Jordan, saying that they were sinners.

bbe@Mark:1:9 @And it came about in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was given baptism by John in the Jordan.

bbe@Mark:1:10 @And straight away, coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens broken open and the Spirit coming down on him as a dove:

bbe@Mark:1:11 @And a voice came out of heaven, You are my dearly loved Son, with whom I am well pleased.

bbe@Mark:1:13 @And he was in the waste land for forty days, being tested by Satan; and he was with the beasts; and the angels took care of him.

bbe@Mark:1:14 @Now after John had been put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the good news of God,

bbe@Mark:1:15 @And saying, The time has come, and the kingdom of God is near: let your hearts be turned from sin and have faith in the good news.

bbe@Mark:1:16 @And going by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon, and Andrew, the brother of Simon, putting a net into the sea: for they were fishermen.

bbe@Mark:1:17 @And Jesus said to them, Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.

bbe@Mark:1:19 @And going on a little farther, he saw James, the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who were in their boat stitching up their nets.

bbe@Mark:1:22 @And they were full of wonder at his teaching, because he gave it as one having authority, and not like the scribes.

bbe@Mark:1:24 @Saying, What have we to do with you, Jesus of Nazareth? have you come to put an end to us? I see well who you are, the Holy One of God.

bbe@Mark:1:25 @And Jesus said to him sharply, Be quiet, and come out of him.

bbe@Mark:1:26 @And the unclean spirit, shaking him violently, and crying with a loud voice, came out of him.

bbe@Mark:1:28 @And news of him went out quickly everywhere into all parts of Galilee round about.

bbe@Mark:1:29 @And when they came out of the Synagogue, they went into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.

bbe@Mark:1:30 @Now Simon's wife's mother was ill, with a burning heat; and they gave him word of her:

bbe@Mark:1:31 @And he came and took her by the hand, lifting her up; and she became well, and took care of their needs.

bbe@Mark:1:34 @And a number, who were ill with different diseases, he made well, and sent out evil spirits; but he did not let the evil spirits say anything, because they had knowledge of him.

bbe@Mark:1:39 @And he went into their Synagogues in every part of Galilee, preaching and driving out evil spirits.

bbe@Mark:1:44 @See that you say nothing to any man: but go and let the priest see you, and make yourself clean by an offering of the things ordered by Moses, for a witness to them.

bbe@Mark:1:45 @But he went out, and made it public, giving an account of it everywhere, so that Jesus was no longer able to go openly into a town, but was outside in the waste land; and they came to him from every part.

bbe@Mark:2:3 @And four men came to him with one on a bed who had no power of moving.

bbe@Mark:2:4 @And when they were unable to get near him because of all the people, they got the roof uncovered where he was: and when it was broken up, they let down the bed on which the man was.

bbe@Mark:2:6 @But there were certain of the scribes seated there, and reasoning in their hearts,

bbe@Mark:2:8 @And Jesus, having knowledge in his spirit of their thoughts, said to them, Why are you reasoning about these things in your hearts?

bbe@Mark:2:10 @But so that you may see that the Son of man has authority for the forgiveness of sins on earth, (he said to the man,)

bbe@Mark:2:12 @And he got up, and straight away took up the bed and went out before them all, so that they were all full of wonder, and gave glory to God, saying, We have never seen anything like this.

bbe@Mark:2:14 @And when he went by, he saw Levi, the son of Alphaeus, seated at the place where taxes were taken, and he said to him, Come with me. And he got up, and went with him.

bbe@Mark:2:15 @And it came about that he was seated at meat in his house, and a number of tax-farmers and sinners were at table with Jesus and his disciples: for there were a great number of them, and they came after him.

bbe@Mark:2:16 @And the scribes of the Pharisees, when they saw that he was taking food with the tax-farmers and sinners, said to his disciples, Why does he take food and drink with such men?

bbe@Mark:2:17 @And Jesus, hearing it, said to them, Those who are well have no need of a medical man, but those who are ill: I have come not to get the upright but sinners.

bbe@Mark:2:18 @And John's disciples and the Pharisees were taking no food: and they came and said to him, Why do John's disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees go without food, but your disciples do not?

bbe@Mark:2:19 @And Jesus said to them, Will the friends of a newly-married man go without food while he is with them? as long as they have him with them they will not go without food.

bbe@Mark:2:21 @No man puts a bit of new cloth on an old coat: or the new, by pulling away from the old, makes a worse hole.

bbe@Mark:2:23 @And it came about that on the Sabbath day he was going through the grain-fields; and while they were walking, his disciples took the heads of grain.

bbe@Mark:2:25 @And he said to them, Have you no knowledge of what David did, when he had need and was without food, he, and those who were with him?

bbe@Mark:2:26 @How he went into the house of God when Abiathar was high priest, and took for food the holy bread, which only the priests may take, and gave it to those who were with him?

bbe@Mark:2:28 @So that the Son of man is lord even of the Sabbath.

bbe@Mark:3:5 @And looking round on them he was angry, being sad because of their hard hearts; and he said to the man, Put out your hand. And he put it out, and his hand was made well.

bbe@Mark:3:8 @And from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea, and the other side of Jordan, and the country about Tyre and Sidon, a great number, hearing what great things he did, came to him.

bbe@Mark:3:10 @For he had made such a great number well that all those who were diseased were falling down before him for the purpose of touching him

bbe@Mark:3:11 @And the unclean spirits, whenever they saw him, went down before him, crying out, and saying, You are the Son of God.

bbe@Mark:3:15 @And give them the power of driving out evil spirits:

bbe@Mark:3:16 @To Simon he gave the second name of Peter;

bbe@Mark:3:17 @And to James, the son of Zebedee, and John, the brother of James, he gave the second name of Boanerges, which is, Sons of thunder:

bbe@Mark:3:18 @And Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James, the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Zealot;

bbe@Mark:3:21 @And when his friends had news of it, they went out to get him, saying, He is off his head.

bbe@Mark:3:22 @And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem, said, He has Beelzebub, and, By the ruler of evil spirits he sends evil spirits out of men.

bbe@Mark:3:23 @And turning to them, he said to them in the form of a story, How is it possible for Satan to put out Satan?

bbe@Mark:3:27 @But no one is able to go into the house of the strong man and take his goods, without first putting cords round the strong man, and then he will take his goods.

bbe@Mark:3:28 @Truly, I say to you, The sons of men will have forgiveness for all their sins and for all the evil words they say:

bbe@Mark:4:1 @And again he was teaching by the seaside. And a very great number of people had come to him, so that he got into a boat on the sea and took his seat; and all the people were on the land by the seaside.

bbe@Mark:4:2 @And he gave them teaching about a number of things in the form of stories, and said to them in his teaching, Give ear:

bbe@Mark:4:10 @And when he was by himself, those who were round him with the twelve put questions to him about the purpose of the stories

bbe@Mark:4:11 @And he said to them, To you is given the secret of the kingdom of God, but to those who are outside, all things are given in the form of stories;

bbe@Mark:4:17 @And they have no root in themselves, but go on for a time; then, when trouble comes or pain, because of the word, they quickly become full of doubts.

bbe@Mark:4:19 @And the cares of this life, and the deceits of wealth, and the desire for other things coming in, put a stop to the growth of the word, and it gives no fruit.

bbe@Mark:4:26 @And he said, Such is the kingdom of God, as if a man put seed in the earth,

bbe@Mark:4:30 @And he said, What picture may we give of the kingdom of God, or with what story may we make it clear?

bbe@Mark:4:31 @It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is put in the earth, is smaller than all the seeds on the earth,

bbe@Mark:4:32 @But when it is planted, it comes up, and becomes taller than all the plants, and puts out great branches, so that the birds of heaven are able to take rest in its shade.

bbe@Mark:4:33 @And with a number of such stories he gave them his teaching, as they were able to take it:

bbe@Mark:4:37 @And a great storm of wind came up, and the waves came into the boat, so that the boat was now becoming full.

bbe@Mark:4:38 @And he himself was in the back of the boat, sleeping on the cushion: and they, awaking him, said, Master, is it nothing to you that we are in danger of destruction?

bbe@Mark:4:39 @And he came out of his sleep, and gave strong orders to the wind, and said to the sea, Peace, be at rest. And the wind went down, and there was a great calm.

bbe@Mark:4:40 @And he said to them, Why are you full of fear? have you still no faith?

bbe@Mark:5:1 @And they came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gerasenes.

bbe@Mark:5:2 @And when he had got out of the boat, straight away there came to him from the place of the dead a man with an unclean spirit.

bbe@Mark:5:3 @He was living in the place of the dead: and no man was able to keep him down, no, not with a chain;

bbe@Mark:5:5 @And all the time, by day and by night, in the place of the dead, and in the mountains, he was crying out and cutting himself with stones.

bbe@Mark:5:6 @And when he saw Jesus from far off, he went quickly to him and gave him worship;

bbe@Mark:5:7 @And crying out with a loud voice he said, What have I to do with you, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? In God's name, do not be cruel to me.

bbe@Mark:5:8 @For Jesus had said to him, Come out of the man, you unclean spirit.

bbe@Mark:5:9 @And Jesus said, What is your name? And he made answer, My name is Legion, because there are a great number of us.

bbe@Mark:5:10 @And he made strong prayers to him not to send them away out of the country.

bbe@Mark:5:11 @Now on the mountain side there was a great herd of pigs getting their food.

bbe@Mark:5:13 @And he let them do it. And the unclean spirits came out and went into the pigs; and the herd went rushing down a sharp slope into the sea, about two thousand of them; and they came to their death in the sea.

bbe@Mark:5:14 @And their keepers went running and gave an account of it in the town and in the country. And people came to see what had taken place.

bbe@Mark:5:15 @And they came to Jesus, and saw the man in whom had been the evil spirits seated, clothed and with full use of his senses, and they were full of fear.

bbe@Mark:5:16 @And those who had seen it gave them an account of what had been done to him who had the evil spirits, and of the fate of the pigs.

bbe@Mark:5:17 @And they made a request to him to go out of their country.

bbe@Mark:5:19 @And he would not let him, but said to him, Go to your house, to your friends, and give them news of the great things the Lord has done for you, and how he had mercy on you.

bbe@Mark:5:20 @And he went on his way, and made public in the country of Decapolis what great things Jesus had done for him: and all men were full of wonder.

bbe@Mark:5:21 @And when Jesus had gone over again in the boat to the other side, a great number of people came to him: and he was by the sea.

bbe@Mark:5:22 @And one of the rulers of the Synagogue, Jairus by name, came, and seeing him, went down at his feet,

bbe@Mark:5:24 @And he went with him; and a great number of people went after him, and came round him.

bbe@Mark:5:25 @And a woman, who had had a flow of blood for twelve years,

bbe@Mark:5:26 @And had undergone much at the hands of a number of medical men, and had given all she had, and was no better, but even worse,

bbe@Mark:5:27 @When she had news of the things which Jesus did, went among the people coming after him, and put her hand on his robe.

bbe@Mark:5:29 @And straight away the fountain of her blood was stopped, and she had a feeling in her body that her disease had gone and she was well.

bbe@Mark:5:30 @And straight away Jesus was conscious that power had gone out of him; and, turning to the people, he said, Who was touching my robe?

bbe@Mark:5:33 @The woman, shaking with fear, conscious of what had been done to her, came and, falling on her face before him, gave him a true account of everything.

bbe@Mark:5:35 @And while he was still talking, they came from the ruler of the Synagogue's house, saying, Your daughter is dead: why are you still troubling the Master?

bbe@Mark:5:36 @But Jesus, giving no attention to their words, said to the ruler of the Synagogue, Have no fear, only have faith.

bbe@Mark:5:37 @And he did not let anyone come with him, but Peter and James and John, the brother of James.

bbe@Mark:5:38 @And they came to the house of the ruler of the Synagogue; and he saw people running this way and that, and weeping and crying loudly.

bbe@Mark:5:40 @And they were laughing at him. But he, having sent them all out, took the father of the child and her mother and those who were with him, and went in where the child was.

bbe@Mark:5:43 @And he gave them special orders that they were not to say anything of this; and he said that some food was to be given to her.

bbe@Mark:6:2 @And when the Sabbath day had come, he was teaching in the Synagogue; and a number of people hearing him were surprised, saying, From where did this man get these things? and, What is the wisdom given to this man, and what are these works of power done by his hands?

bbe@Mark:6:3 @Is not this the woodworker, the son of Mary, and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were bitter against him.

bbe@Mark:6:5 @And he was unable to do any work of power there, but only to put his hands on one or two persons who were ill, and make them well.

bbe@Mark:6:11 @And whatever place will not take you in and will not give ear to you, when you go away, put off the dust from your feet as a witness against them.

bbe@Mark:6:12 @And they went out, preaching the need for a change of heart in men.

bbe@Mark:6:13 @And they sent out a number of evil spirits, and put oil on a great number who were ill, and made them well.

bbe@Mark:6:14 @And king Herod had news of him, because his name was on the lips of all; and he said, John the Baptist has come back from the dead, and for this reason these powers are working in him

bbe@Mark:6:15 @But others said, It is Elijah. And others said, It is a prophet, even like one of the prophets.

bbe@Mark:6:16 @But Herod, when he had news of it, said, John, whom I put to death, has come back from the dead.

bbe@Mark:6:17 @For Herod himself had sent men out to take John and put him in prison, because of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, whom he had taken for himself.

bbe@Mark:6:20 @For Herod was in fear of John, being conscious that he was an upright and holy man, and kept him safe. And hearing him, he was much troubled; and he gave ear to him gladly.

bbe@Mark:6:21 @And the chance came when Herod on his birthday gave a feast to his lords, and the high captains, and the chief men of Galilee;

bbe@Mark:6:22 @And when the daughter of Herodias herself came in and did a dance, Herod and those who were at table with him were pleased with her; and the king said to the girl, Make a request for anything and I will give it you.

bbe@Mark:6:23 @And he took an oath, saying to her, Whatever is your desire I will give it to you, even half of my kingdom.

bbe@Mark:6:24 @And she went out and said to her mother, What is my request to be? And she said, The head of John the Baptist.

bbe@Mark:6:25 @And she came in quickly to the king, and said, My desire is that you give me straight away on a plate the head of John the Baptist.

bbe@Mark:6:26 @And the king was very sad; but because of his oaths, and those who were with him at table, he would not say 'No' to her.

bbe@Mark:6:27 @And straight away the king sent out one of his armed men, and gave him an order to come back with the head: and he went and took off John's head in prison,

bbe@Mark:6:29 @And when his disciples had news of it, they came and took up his body, and put it in its last resting-place.

bbe@Mark:6:30 @And the twelve came together to Jesus; and they gave him an account of all the things they had done, and all they had been teaching.

bbe@Mark:6:33 @And the people saw them going, and a number of them, having knowledge who they were, went running there together on foot from all the towns, and got there before them.

bbe@Mark:6:34 @And he got out, and saw a great mass of people, and he had pity on them, because they were like sheep without a keeper: and he gave them teaching about a number of things.

bbe@Mark:6:35 @And at the end of the day, his disciples came to him and said, This place is waste land, and it is late:

bbe@Mark:6:38 @And he said to them, How much bread have you? go and see. And when they had seen, they said, Five cakes of bread and two fishes.

bbe@Mark:6:41 @And he took the five cakes of bread and the two fishes and, looking up to heaven, he said words of blessing over them; and when the cakes were broken, he gave them to the disciples to put before the people; and he made division of the two fishes among them all.

bbe@Mark:6:42 @And they all took of the food and had enough.

bbe@Mark:6:43 @And they took up twelve baskets full of the broken bits and of the fishes.

bbe@Mark:6:44 @And those who took of the bread were five thousand men.

bbe@Mark:6:47 @And by evening, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and he by himself on the land.

bbe@Mark:6:48 @And seeing that they had trouble in getting their boat through the water, because the wind was against them, about the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea; and he would have gone past them;

bbe@Mark:6:51 @And he went to them into the boat, and the wind went down, and they were full of wonder in themselves;

bbe@Mark:6:54 @And when they had got out of the boat, the people quickly had news of him,

bbe@Mark:6:56 @And wherever he went, into small towns, or great towns, or into the country, they took those who were ill into the market-places, requesting him that they might put their hands even on the edge of his robe: and all those who did so were made well.

bbe@Mark:7:1 @And there came together to him the Pharisees and certain of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem,

bbe@Mark:7:2 @And had seen that some of his disciples took their bread with unclean, that is, unwashed, hands.

bbe@Mark:7:4 @And when they come from the market-place, they take no food till their hands are washed; and a number of other orders there are, which have been handed down to them to keep--washings of cups and pots and brass vessels.

bbe@Mark:7:5 @And the Pharisees and the scribes put the question to him, Why do your disciples not keep the rules of the fathers, but take their bread with unwashed hands?

bbe@Mark:7:6 @And he said, Well did Isaiah say of you, you false ones: These people give me honour with their lips, but their heart is far from me.

bbe@Mark:7:7 @But their worship is to no purpose, while they give as their teaching the rules of men.

bbe@Mark:7:8 @For, turning away from the law of God, you keep the rules of men.

bbe@Mark:7:9 @And he said to them, Truly you put on one side the law of God, so that you may keep the rules which have been handed down to you.

bbe@Mark:7:10 @For Moses said, Give honour to your father and mother, and, He who says evil of father or mother, let him have the punishment of death:

bbe@Mark:7:11 @But you say, If a man says to his father or his mother, That by which you might have had profit from me is Corban, that is to say, Given to God,

bbe@Mark:7:13 @Making the word of God of no effect by your rule, which you have given: and a number of other such things you do.

bbe@Mark:7:14 @And turning to the people again, he said to them, Give ear to me all of you, and let my words be clear to you:

bbe@Mark:7:15 @There is nothing outside the man which, going into him, is able to make him unclean: but the things which come out of the man are those which make the man unclean.

bbe@Mark:7:20 @And he said, That which comes out of the man, that makes the man unclean.

bbe@Mark:7:21 @Because from inside, from the heart of men, come evil thoughts and unclean pleasures,

bbe@Mark:7:22 @The taking of goods and of life, broken faith between husband and wife, the desire of wealth, wrongdoing, deceit, sins of the flesh, an evil eye, angry words, pride, foolish acts:

bbe@Mark:7:24 @And he went away from there to the country of Tyre and Sidon. And he went into a house, desiring that no man might have knowledge of it: and he was not able to keep it secret.

bbe@Mark:7:25 @But a woman, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having had news of him, came straight away and went down at his feet.

bbe@Mark:7:26 @Now the woman was a Greek, a Syro-phoenician by birth: and she made a request to him that he would send the evil spirit out of her daughter.

bbe@Mark:7:29 @And he said to her, For this saying go your way; the evil spirit has gone out of your daughter.

bbe@Mark:7:31 @And again he went out from Tyre, and came through Sidon to the sea of Galilee, through the country of Decapolis.

bbe@Mark:7:32 @And they came to him with one who had no power of hearing and had trouble in talking; and they made a request to him to put his hands on him.

bbe@Mark:7:35 @And his ears became open, and the band of his tongue was made loose, and his words became clear.

bbe@Mark:7:36 @And he gave them orders not to give news of it to anyone; but the more he made this request, so much the more they made it public.

bbe@Mark:7:37 @And they were overcome with wonder, saying, He has done all things well: he even gives back the power of hearing and the power of talking to those who have been without them.

bbe@Mark:8:1 @In those days again, when there was a great mass of people and they had no food, he made his disciples come to him and said to them,

bbe@Mark:8:3 @If I send them away to their houses with no food, they will be overcome by weariness on the way; and some of them have come from far.

bbe@Mark:8:8 @And they took the food, and had enough; and they took up seven baskets full of the broken bits.

bbe@Mark:8:10 @And he got into the boat with his disciples straight away, and came into the country of Dalmanutha.

bbe@Mark:8:14 @And they had taken no thought to get bread; and they had only one cake of bread with them in the boat.

bbe@Mark:8:15 @And he said to them, Take care to be on the watch against the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.

bbe@Mark:8:19 @When I made a division of the five cakes of bread among the five thousand, what number of baskets full of broken bits did you take up? They said to him, Twelve.

bbe@Mark:8:20 @And when the seven among the four thousand, what number of baskets full of broken bits did you take up? And they said to him, Seven.

bbe@Mark:8:23 @And he took the blind man by the hand, and went with him out of the town; and when he had put water from his mouth on his eyes, and put his hands on him, he said, Do you see anything?

bbe@Mark:8:28 @And they made answer, John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; but others, One of the prophets.

bbe@Mark:8:30 @And he put them under orders not to say this of him to anyone.

bbe@Mark:8:31 @And teaching them, he said that the Son of man would have to undergo much, and be hated by those in authority, and the chief priests, and the scribes, and be put to death, and after three days come back from the dead.

bbe@Mark:8:33 @But he, turning about, and seeing his disciples, said sharply to Peter, Get out of my way, Satan: for your mind is not on the things of God, but on the things of men.

bbe@Mark:8:34 @And turning to the mass of people with his disciples, he said to them, If any man has the desire to come after me, let him give up all other desires, and take up his cross and come after me.

bbe@Mark:8:35 @Whoever has a desire to keep his life, will have it taken from him; and whoever gives up his life because of me and the good news, will keep it.

bbe@Mark:8:36 @What profit has a man if he gets all the world with the loss of his life?

bbe@Mark:8:38 @Whoever has a feeling of shame because of me and my words in this false and evil generation, the Son of man will have a feeling of shame because of him, when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.

bbe@Mark:9:1 @And he said to them, Truly I say to you, There are some here who will have no taste of death till they see the kingdom of God come with power.

bbe@Mark:9:7 @And a cloud came over them; and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my dearly loved Son, give ear to him.

bbe@Mark:9:9 @And while they were coming down from the mountain, he gave them orders not to give word to any man of the things they had seen, till the Son of man had come back from the dead.

bbe@Mark:9:12 @And he said to them, Truly, Elijah does come first, and puts all things in order; and how is it said in the Writings that the Son of man will go through much sorrow and be made as nothing?

bbe@Mark:9:14 @And when they came to the disciples, they saw a great mass of people about them, and scribes questioning them.

bbe@Mark:9:15 @And straight away all the people, when they saw him, were full of wonder, and running to him, gave him worship.

bbe@Mark:9:17 @And one of the number said to him in answer, Master, I came to you with my son, who has in him a spirit which takes away his power of talking;

bbe@Mark:9:24 @Straight away the father of the child gave a cry, saying, I have faith; make my feeble faith stronger.

bbe@Mark:9:25 @And when Jesus saw that the people came running together, he gave orders to the unclean spirit, saying to him, You, spirit, who are the cause of his loss of voice and hearing, I say to you, come out of him, and never again go into him.

bbe@Mark:9:26 @And after crying out and shaking him violently, it came out: and the child became like one dead; so that most of them said, He is dead.

bbe@Mark:9:30 @And they went out from there, through Galilee; and it was his desire that no man might have knowledge of it;

bbe@Mark:9:31 @For he was giving his disciples teaching, and saying to them, The Son of man is given up into the hands of men, and they will put him to death; and when he is dead, after three days he will come back from the dead.

bbe@Mark:9:32 @But the saying was not clear to them, and they were in fear of questioning him about it.

bbe@Mark:9:35 @And seating himself, he made the twelve come to him; and he said to them, If any man has the desire to be first, he will be last of all and servant of all.

bbe@Mark:9:36 @And he took a little child, and put him in the middle of them; and taking him in his arms, he said to them,

bbe@Mark:9:38 @John said to him, Master, we saw one driving out evil spirits in your name: and we said that he might not, because he is not one of us.

bbe@Mark:9:39 @But Jesus said, Say not so: for there is no man who will do a great work in my name, and be able at the same time to say evil of me.

bbe@Mark:9:41 @Whoever gives you a cup of water, because you are Christ's, truly I say to you, he will in no way be without his reward.

bbe@Mark:9:42 @And whoever is a cause of trouble to one of these little ones who have faith in me, it would be better for him if a great stone was put round his neck and he was dropped into the sea.

bbe@Mark:9:43 @And if your hand is a cause of trouble to you, let it be cut off; it is better for you to go into life with one hand than to have two hands and go into hell, into the eternal fire.

bbe@Mark:9:45 @And if your foot is a cause of trouble to you, let it be cut off: it is better for you to go into life with one foot than to have two feet and go into hell.

bbe@Mark:9:47 @And if your eye is a cause of trouble to you, take it out: it is better for you to go into the kingdom of God with one eye than, having two eyes, to go into hell,

bbe@Mark:10:1 @And he got up, and went into the country of Judaea on the other side of Jordan: and great numbers of people came together to him again; and, as was his way, he gave them teaching.

bbe@Mark:10:5 @But Jesus said to them, Because of your hard hearts he gave you this law.

bbe@Mark:10:14 @And when Jesus saw it, he was angry, and said to them, Let the little children come to me, and do not keep them away; for of such is the kingdom of God.

bbe@Mark:10:15 @Truly I say to you, Whoever does not put himself under the kingdom of God like a little child, will not come into it at all.

bbe@Mark:10:19 @You have knowledge of what is said in the law, Do not put any one to death, Do not be untrue in married life, Do not take what is not yours, Do not give false witness, Do not get money by deceit, Give honour to your father and mother.

bbe@Mark:10:23 @And Jesus, looking round about, said to his disciples, How hard it is for those who have wealth to come into the kingdom of God!

bbe@Mark:10:24 @And the disciples were full of wonder at his words. But Jesus said to them again, Children, how hard it is for those who put faith in wealth to come into the kingdom of God!

bbe@Mark:10:25 @It is simpler for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a man of wealth to come into the kingdom of God.

bbe@Mark:10:29 @Jesus said, Truly I say to you, There is no man who has given up house, or brothers, or sisters, or mother, or father, or children, or land, because of me and the good news,

bbe@Mark:10:32 @And they were on the way, going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus was going before them: and they were full of wonder; but those who came after him were in fear. And again he took the twelve, and gave them word of the things which were to come on him,

bbe@Mark:10:33 @Saying, See, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man will be given up to the chief priests and the scribes; and they will give an order for his death, and will give him up to the Gentiles:

bbe@Mark:10:34 @And they will make sport of him, and put shame on him, and give him cruel blows, and will put him to death; and after three days he will come back from the dead.

bbe@Mark:10:35 @And there came to him James and John, the sons of Zebedee, saying to him, Master, will you give us whatever may be our request?

bbe@Mark:10:38 @But Jesus said to them, You have no knowledge of what you are saying. Are you able to take of my cup? or to undergo the baptism which I am to undergo?

bbe@Mark:10:39 @And they said to him, We are able. And Jesus said to them, You will take of the cup from which I take; and the baptism which I am about to undergo you will undergo:

bbe@Mark:10:44 @And whoever has a desire to be first among you, let him be servant of all.

bbe@Mark:10:45 @For truly the Son of man did not come to have servants, but to be a servant, and to give his life for the salvation of men.

bbe@Mark:10:46 @And they came to Jericho: and when he was going out of Jericho, with his disciples and a great number of people, the son of Timaeus, Bartimaeus, a blind man, was seated by the wayside, with his hand out for money.

bbe@Mark:10:47 @And when it came to his ears that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he gave a cry, and said, Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.

bbe@Mark:10:48 @And some of them, turning in protest, gave him an order to be quiet: but he went on crying out all the more, Son of David, have mercy on me.

bbe@Mark:10:50 @And he, putting off his coat, got up quickly, and came to Jesus.

bbe@Mark:11:1 @And when they came near to Jerusalem, to Beth-phage and Bethany, at the Mountain of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,

bbe@Mark:11:3 @And if anyone says to you, Why are you doing this? say, The Lord has need of him and will send him back straight away.

bbe@Mark:11:5 @And some of those who were there said to them, What are you doing, taking the ass?

bbe@Mark:11:9 @And those who went in front, and those who came after, were crying, Glory: A blessing on him who comes in the name of the Lord:

bbe@Mark:11:10 @A blessing on the coming kingdom of our father David: Glory in the highest.

bbe@Mark:11:12 @And on the day after, when they had come out from Bethany, he was in need of food.

bbe@Mark:11:14 @And he said to it, Let no man take fruit from you for ever. And his disciples took note of his words.

bbe@Mark:11:15 @And they came to Jerusalem; and he went into the Temple, and sent out those who were trading there, overturning the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who were offering doves for money;

bbe@Mark:11:17 @And he gave them teaching, and said to them, Is it not in the Writings, My house is to be named a house of prayer for all the nations? but you have made it a hole of thieves.

bbe@Mark:11:18 @And it came to the ears of the chief priests and scribes, and they took thought how they might put him to death; being in fear of him, because all the people were full of wonder at his teaching.

bbe@Mark:11:19 @And every evening he went out of the town.

bbe@Mark:11:21 @And Peter, having a memory of it, said to him, Master, see, the tree which was cursed by you is dead.

bbe@Mark:11:30 @The baptism of John, was it from heaven or from men? give me an answer.

bbe@Mark:11:32 @But if we say, From men--they were in fear of the people, because all took John to be truly a prophet.

bbe@Mark:12:1 @And he gave them teaching in the form of stories. A man had a vine-garden planted, and put a wall about it, and made a place for crushing out the wine, and put up a tower, and let it out to field-workers, and went into another country.

bbe@Mark:12:2 @And when the time came, he sent a servant to get from the workmen some of the fruit of the garden.

bbe@Mark:12:5 @And he sent another; and they put him to death: and a number of others, whipping some, and putting some to death.

bbe@Mark:12:7 @But those workmen said among themselves, This is he who will one day be the owner of the property; come, let us put him to death, and the heritage will be ours.

bbe@Mark:12:8 @And they took him and put him to death, pushing his body out of the garden.

bbe@Mark:12:9 @What then will the master of the garden do? He will come and put the workmen to death, and will give the garden into the hands of others.

bbe@Mark:12:10 @Have you not seen this which is in the Writings: The stone which the builders put on one side, the same was made the chief stone of the building:

bbe@Mark:12:12 @And they made attempts to take him; but they were in fear of the people, because they saw that the story was against them; and they went away from him.

bbe@Mark:12:13 @Then they sent to him certain of the Pharisees and the Herodians, so that they might make use of his words to take him by a trick

bbe@Mark:12:14 @And when they had come, they said to him, Master, we are certain that you are true, and have no fear of anyone: you have no respect for a man's position, but you are teaching the true way of God: Is it right to give taxes to Caesar or not?

bbe@Mark:12:15 @Are we to give or not to give? But he, conscious of their false hearts, said to them, Why do you put me to the test? give me a penny, so that I may see it.

bbe@Mark:12:17 @And Jesus said to them, Give to Caesar the things which are Caesar's, and to God the things which are God's. And they were full of wonder at him.

bbe@Mark:12:20 @There were seven brothers: and the first took a wife, and at his death there were no offspring;

bbe@Mark:12:21 @And the second took her, and at his death there were no offspring; and the third the same:

bbe@Mark:12:22 @And all the seven had no seed. Last of all the woman herself came to her death.

bbe@Mark:12:24 @Jesus said to them, Is not this the reason for your error, that you have no knowledge of the holy Writings or of the power of God?

bbe@Mark:12:26 @But as to the dead coming back to life; have you not seen in the book of Moses, about the burning thorn-tree, how God said to him, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?

bbe@Mark:12:27 @He is not the God of the dead, but of the living: you are greatly in error.

bbe@Mark:12:28 @And one of the scribes came, and hearing their argument together, and seeing that he had given them a good answer, put the question to him, Which law is the first of all?

bbe@Mark:12:33 @And to have love for him with all the heart, and with all the mind, and with all the strength, and to have the same love for his neighbour as for himself, is much more than all forms of offerings.

bbe@Mark:12:34 @And when Jesus saw that he gave a wise answer, he said to him, You are not far from the kingdom of God. And every man after that was in fear of questioning him any more.

bbe@Mark:12:35 @And Jesus, when he was teaching in the Temple, said, How do the scribes say that the Christ is the Son of David?

bbe@Mark:12:37 @David himself gives him the name of Lord; and how then is he his son? And the common people gave ear to him gladly.

bbe@Mark:12:40 @Who take away the property of widows, and before the eyes of men make long prayers; these will be judged more hardly.

bbe@Mark:12:42 @And there came a poor widow, and she put in two little bits of money, which make a farthing.

bbe@Mark:12:44 @Because they all put in something out of what they had no need for; but she out of her need put in all she had, even all her living.

bbe@Mark:13:1 @And when he was going out of the Temple, one of his disciples said to him, Master, see, what stones and what buildings!

bbe@Mark:13:3 @And while he was seated on the Mountain of Olives opposite the Temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew said to him privately,

bbe@Mark:13:7 @And when you have news of wars and talk of wars, do not be troubled; these things have to be, but it is still not the end.

bbe@Mark:13:8 @Nation will go to war with nation, and kingdom with kingdom: there will be earth-shocks in different places; there will be times when there is no food; these things are the first of the troubles.

bbe@Mark:13:9 @But take care: for they will give you up to the Sanhedrins; and in Synagogues you will be whipped; and you will be taken before rulers and kings because of me, for a sign to them.

bbe@Mark:13:13 @And you will be hated by all men, because of my name; but he who goes through to the end will have salvation.

bbe@Mark:13:15 @And let him who is on the house-top not go down, or go in, to take anything out of his house:

bbe@Mark:13:20 @And if the Lord had not made the time short, no flesh would have been kept from destruction; but because of the saints he has made the time short.

bbe@Mark:13:22 @Because there will be false Christs and false prophets, and they will give signs and wonders in the hope of turning even the saints from the true way.

bbe@Mark:13:24 @But in those days, after that time of trouble, the sun will be made dark and the moon will not give her light,

bbe@Mark:13:26 @And then they will see the Son of man coming in clouds with great power and glory.

bbe@Mark:13:27 @And then he will send out the angels, and will get together his saints from the four winds, from the farthest part of the earth to the farthest part of heaven.

bbe@Mark:13:28 @Take an example from the fig-tree: when its branches become soft and put out their leaves, you see that the summer is near;

bbe@Mark:13:32 @But of that day or that hour no one has knowledge, not even the angels in heaven, or the Son, but the Father.

bbe@Mark:13:35 @So you are to keep watch: because you are not certain when the master of the house is coming, in the evening, or in the middle of the night, or at the cock's cry, or in the morning;

bbe@Mark:14:1 @It was now two days before the feast of the Passover and the unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the scribes made designs how they might take him by deceit and put him to death:

bbe@Mark:14:3 @And while he was in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, seated at table, there came a woman with a bottle of perfumed oil of great price; and when the bottle was broken she put the perfume on his head.

bbe@Mark:14:4 @But some of them were angry among themselves, saying, For what purpose has this oil been wasted?

bbe@Mark:14:9 @And truly I say to you, Wherever the good news goes out through all the earth, what this woman has done will be talked of in memory of her.

bbe@Mark:14:10 @And Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve, went away to the chief priests, so that he might give him up to them.

bbe@Mark:14:11 @And hearing what he said, they were glad, and gave him their word to make him a payment of money. And he took thought how he might best give him up to them.

bbe@Mark:14:12 @And on the first day of unleavened bread, when the Passover lamb is put to death, his disciples said to him, Where are we to go and make ready for you to take the Passover meal?

bbe@Mark:14:13 @And he sent two of his disciples, and said to them, Go into the town, and there will come to you a man with a vessel of water: go after him;

bbe@Mark:14:14 @And wherever he goes in, say to the owner of the house, The Master says, Where is my guest-room, where I may take the Passover with my disciples?

bbe@Mark:14:18 @And while they were seated taking food, Jesus said, Truly I say to you, One of you will be false to me, one who is taking food with me.

bbe@Mark:14:20 @And he said to them, It is one of the twelve, one who is putting his bread with me into the same plate.

bbe@Mark:14:21 @The Son of man goes, even as the Writings say of him: but cursed is that man through whom the Son of man is given up! It would have been well for that man if he had never been given birth.

bbe@Mark:14:24 @And he said to them, This is my blood of the testament, which is given for men.

bbe@Mark:14:25 @Truly I say to you, I will take no more of the fruit of the vine till the day when I take it new in the kingdom of God.

bbe@Mark:14:26 @And after a song of praise to God they went out to the Mountain of Olives.

bbe@Mark:14:27 @And Jesus said to them, You will all be turned away from me: for it is in the Writings, I will put the keeper of the sheep to death, and the sheep will be put to flight.

bbe@Mark:14:30 @And Jesus said to him, Truly, I say to you that you, today, even this night, before the cock's second cry, will say three times that you have no knowledge of me.

bbe@Mark:14:41 @And he came the third time, and said to them, Go on sleeping now and take your rest: it is enough; the hour has come; see, the Son of man is given up into the hands of evil men.

bbe@Mark:14:43 @And straight away, while he was still talking, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great band with swords and sticks, from the chief priests and the scribes and those in authority.

bbe@Mark:14:47 @But a certain one of those who were near took out his sword, and gave the servant of the high priest a blow, cutting off his ear.

bbe@Mark:14:54 @And Peter had come after him at a distance, even into the house of the high priest; and he was seated with the captains, warming himself in the light of the fire.

bbe@Mark:14:60 @And the high priest got up in the middle of them, and said to Jesus, Do you say nothing in answer? what is it which these say against you?

bbe@Mark:14:61 @But he kept quiet and said nothing. Again the high priest questioning him said, Are you the Christ, the son of the Holy One?

bbe@Mark:14:62 @And Jesus said, I am: and you will see the Son of man seated at the right hand of power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.

bbe@Mark:14:63 @And the high priest, violently parting his robes, said, What more need have we of witnesses?

bbe@Mark:14:66 @And while Peter was down in the open square of the building, one of the servant-girls of the high priest came;

bbe@Mark:14:68 @But he said, I have no knowledge of him, or of what you are saying: and he went out into the doorway; and there came the cry of a cock.

bbe@Mark:14:69 @And the girl saw him, and said again to those who were near, This is one of them.

bbe@Mark:14:70 @But again he said it was not so. And after a little time, again those who were near said to Peter, Truly you are one of them; for you are a Galilaean.

bbe@Mark:14:71 @But, with curses and oaths, he said, I have no knowledge of the man about whom you are talking.

bbe@Mark:14:72 @And in the same minute, the cock gave a second cry. And it came to Peter's mind how Jesus had said to him, Before the cock's second cry, you will say three times that you have no knowledge of me. And at this thought he was overcome with weeping.

bbe@Mark:15:2 @And Pilate put a question to him, Are you the King of the Jews? And he, answering, said to him, You say so.

bbe@Mark:15:3 @And the chief priests said a number of things against him.

bbe@Mark:15:5 @But Jesus gave no more answers, so that Pilate was full of wonder.

bbe@Mark:15:9 @And Pilate said in answer to them, Is it your desire that I let the King of the Jews go free?

bbe@Mark:15:12 @And Pilate again said in answer to them, What then am I to do to him to whom you give the name of the King of the Jews?

bbe@Mark:15:16 @And the men of the army took him away into the square in front of the building which is the Praetorium, and they got together all the band.

bbe@Mark:15:17 @And they put a purple robe on him, and twisting a crown of thorns, they put it on him;

bbe@Mark:15:18 @And, as if honouring him, they said, Long life to the King of the Jews!

bbe@Mark:15:20 @And when they had made sport of him, they took the purple robe off him and put his clothing on him. And they took him out to put him to death on the cross.

bbe@Mark:15:21 @And they made one, Simon of Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus, who was going by, coming from the country, go with them, so that he might take his cross.

bbe@Mark:15:24 @And he was nailed to the cross; and they made a division of his clothing among them, putting to the decision of chance what everyone was to take.

bbe@Mark:15:26 @And the statement of his crime was put in writing on the cross, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

bbe@Mark:15:29 @And those who went by made sport of him, shaking their heads, and saying, Ha! you who give the Temple to destruction, and put it up again in three days,

bbe@Mark:15:31 @In the same way the chief priests, laughing at him among themselves with the scribes, said, A saviour of others, he has no salvation for himself.

bbe@Mark:15:32 @Let the Christ, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross, so that we may see and have belief. And those who were put on crosses with him said evil things against him.

bbe@Mark:15:35 @And some of those who were near, hearing it, said, See, he is crying to Elijah.

bbe@Mark:15:36 @And one of them went quickly and, getting a sponge full of bitter wine, put it on a rod, and gave it to him for drink, saying, Let be; let us see if Elijah will come to take him down.

bbe@Mark:15:38 @And the curtain of the Temple was parted in two from end to end.

bbe@Mark:15:39 @And when the captain, who was near, saw how he gave up his spirit, he said, Truly this man was a son of God.

bbe@Mark:15:40 @And there were women watching from a distance: among them were Mary Magdalene, and Mary, the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome,

bbe@Mark:15:41 @Who went with him when he was in Galilee and took care of him; and a number of other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.

bbe@Mark:15:42 @And when it was evening, because it was the time of getting ready, that is, the day before the Sabbath,

bbe@Mark:15:43 @There came Joseph of Arimathaea, a responsible man in high honour, who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God; and he went in to Pilate without fear, and made a request for the body of Jesus.

bbe@Mark:15:45 @And when he had news of it from the captain, he let Joseph have the body.

bbe@Mark:15:46 @And he got a linen cloth and, taking him down, put the linen cloth round him, and put him in a place for the dead which had been cut out of a rock; and a stone was rolled against the door.

bbe@Mark:15:47 @And Mary Magdalene and Mary, the mother of Joses, saw where he was put.

bbe@Mark:16:1 @And when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene and Mary, the mother of James, and Salome, got spices, so that they might come and put them on him.

bbe@Mark:16:2 @And very early after dawn on the first day of the week, they came at the time of the coming up of the sun to the place where the body had been put.

bbe@Mark:16:4 @And looking up, they saw that the stone was rolled back; and it was of great size.

bbe@Mark:16:5 @And when they went in, they saw a young man seated on the right side, dressed in a white robe; and they were full of wonder.

bbe@Mark:16:8 @And they went out quickly from the place, because fear and great wonder had come on them: and they said nothing to anyone, because they were full of fear that...

bbe@Mark:16:9 @Now when he came back from the dead early on the first day of the week, he went first to Mary Magdalene, from whom he had sent out seven evil spirits.

bbe@Mark:16:10 @She went and gave news of it to those who had been with him, while they were sorrowing and weeping.

bbe@Mark:16:12 @And after these things he was seen in another form by two of them, while they were walking on their way into the country.

bbe@Mark:16:13 @And they went away and gave news of it to the rest; and they had no belief in what was said.

bbe@Mark:16:17 @And these signs will be with those who have faith: in my name they will send out evil spirits; and they will make use of new languages;

bbe@Mark:16:19 @So then the Lord Jesus, after he had said these words to them, was taken up into heaven and took his seat at the right hand of God.

bbe@Luke:1:1 @As a number of attempts have been made to put together in order an account of those events which took place among us,

bbe@Luke:1:2 @As they were handed down to us by those who saw them from the first and were preachers of the word,

bbe@Luke:1:3 @It seemed good to me, having made observation, with great care, of the direction of events in their order, to put the facts in writing for you, most noble Theophilus;

bbe@Luke:1:4 @So that you might have certain knowledge of those things about which you were given teaching.

bbe@Luke:1:5 @In the days of Herod, king of Judaea, there was a certain priest, by name Zacharias, of the order of Abijah; and he had a wife of the family of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.

bbe@Luke:1:6 @They were upright in the eyes of God, keeping all the rules and orders of God, and doing no wrong.

bbe@Luke:1:9 @And as was the way of the priests, he had to go into the Temple to see to the burning of perfumes.

bbe@Luke:1:10 @And all the people were offering prayers outside, at the time of the burning of perfumes.

bbe@Luke:1:11 @And he saw an angel of the Lord in his place on the right side of the altar.

bbe@Luke:1:13 @But the angel said, Have no fear, Zacharias, for your prayer has come to the ears of God, and your wife Elisabeth will have a son, and his name will be John.

bbe@Luke:1:14 @And you will be glad and have great delight; and numbers of people will have joy at his birth.

bbe@Luke:1:15 @For he will be great in the eyes of the Lord; he will not take wine or strong drink; and he will be full of the Spirit of God from his birth.

bbe@Luke:1:16 @And through him great numbers of the children of Israel will be turned to the Lord their God.

bbe@Luke:1:17 @And he will go before his face in the spirit and power of Elijah, turning the hearts of fathers to their children, and wrongdoers to the way of righteousness; to make ready a people whose hearts have been turned to the Lord.

bbe@Luke:1:18 @And Zacharias said to the angel, How may I be certain of this? For I am an old man, and my wife is far on in years.

bbe@Luke:1:23 @And when the days of his work in the Temple were ended, he went back to his house.

bbe@Luke:1:25 @The Lord has done this to me, for his eyes were on me, to take away my shame in the eyes of men.

bbe@Luke:1:27 @To a virgin who was to be married to a man named Joseph, of the family of David; and the name of the virgin was Mary.

bbe@Luke:1:29 @But she was greatly troubled at his words, and said to herself, What may be the purpose of these words?

bbe@Luke:1:32 @He will be great, and will be named the Son of the Most High: and the Lord God will give him the kingdom of David, his father:

bbe@Luke:1:33 @He will have rule over the house of Jacob for ever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.

bbe@Luke:1:34 @And Mary said to the angel, How may this be, because I have had no knowledge of a man?

bbe@Luke:1:35 @And the angel in answer said to her, The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will come to rest on you, and so that which will come to birth will be named holy, Son of God.

bbe@Luke:1:36 @Even now Elisabeth, who is of your family, is to be a mother, though she is old: and this is the sixth month with her who was without children.

bbe@Luke:1:38 @And Mary said: I am the servant of the Lord; may it be to me as you say. And the angel went away.

bbe@Luke:1:39 @Then Mary got up and went quickly into the high lands, to a town of Judah;

bbe@Luke:1:40 @And went into the house of Zacharias and took Elisabeth in her arms.

bbe@Luke:1:41 @And when the voice of Mary came to the ears of Elisabeth, the baby made a sudden move inside her; then Elisabeth was full of the Holy Spirit,

bbe@Luke:1:42 @And she said with a loud voice: May blessing be on you among women, and a blessing on the child of your body.

bbe@Luke:1:43 @How is it that the mother of my Lord comes to me?

bbe@Luke:1:44 @For, truly, when the sound of your voice came to my ears, the baby in my body made a sudden move for joy.

bbe@Luke:1:50 @His mercy is for all generations in whom is the fear of him.

bbe@Luke:1:51 @With his arm he has done acts of power; he has put to flight those who have pride in their hearts.

bbe@Luke:1:52 @He has put down kings from their seats, lifting up on high the men of low degree.

bbe@Luke:1:53 @Those who had no food he made full of good things; the men of wealth he sent away with nothing in their hands;

bbe@Luke:1:58 @And it came to the ears of her neighbours and relations that the Lord had been very good to her, and they took part in her joy.

bbe@Luke:1:59 @And on the eighth day they came to see to the circumcision of the child, and they would have given him the name of Zacharias, his father's name;

bbe@Luke:1:61 @And they said, Not one of your relations has that name.

bbe@Luke:1:65 @And fear came on all those who were living round about them: and there was much talk about all these things in all the hill-country of Judaea.

bbe@Luke:1:66 @And all who had word of them kept them in their minds and said, What will this child be? For the hand of the Lord was with him.

bbe@Luke:1:67 @And his father, Zacharias, was full of the Holy Spirit, and with the voice of a prophet said these words:

bbe@Luke:1:68 @Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, for he has come to his people and made them free,

bbe@Luke:1:69 @Lifting up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David,

bbe@Luke:1:70 @(As he said, by the mouth of his holy prophets, from the earliest times,)

bbe@Luke:1:71 @Salvation from those who are against us, and from the hands of those who have hate for us;

bbe@Luke:1:72 @To do acts of mercy to our fathers and to keep in mind his holy word,

bbe@Luke:1:74 @That we, being made free from the fear of those who are against us, might give him worship,

bbe@Luke:1:76 @And you, child, will be named the prophet of the Most High: you will go before the face of the Lord, to make ready his ways;

bbe@Luke:1:77 @To give knowledge of salvation to his people, through the forgiveness of sins,

bbe@Luke:1:78 @Because of the loving mercies of our God, by which the dawn from heaven has come to us,

bbe@Luke:1:79 @To give light to those in dark places, and in the shade of death, so that our feet may be guided into the way of peace.

bbe@Luke:1:80 @And the child became tall, and strong in spirit; and he was living in the waste land till the day when he came before the eyes of Israel.

bbe@Luke:2:1 @Now it came about in those days that an order went out from Caesar Augustus that there was to be a numbering of all the world.

bbe@Luke:2:2 @This was the first numbering, which was made when Quirinius was ruler of Syria.

bbe@Luke:2:4 @And Joseph went up from Galilee, out of the town of Nazareth, into Judaea, to Beth-lehem, the town of David, because he was of the house and family of David,

bbe@Luke:2:8 @And in the same country there were keepers of sheep in the fields, watching over their flock by night.

bbe@Luke:2:9 @And an angel of the Lord came to them, and the glory of the Lord was shining round about them: and fear came on them.

bbe@Luke:2:10 @And the angel said, Have no fear; for truly, I give you good news of great joy which will be for all the people:

bbe@Luke:2:11 @For on this day, in the town of David, a Saviour has come to birth, who is Christ the Lord.

bbe@Luke:2:13 @And suddenly there was with the angel a great band of spirits from heaven, giving praise to God, and saying,

bbe@Luke:2:15 @And when the angels had gone away from them into heaven, the keepers of the sheep said to one another, Let us go now to Beth-lehem, and see this thing which has come about, which the Lord has made clear to us.

bbe@Luke:2:17 @And when they saw it, they gave them an account of the things which had been said to them about the child.

bbe@Luke:2:18 @And all those to whose ears it came were full of wonder at the things said by the keepers of the sheep.

bbe@Luke:2:20 @Then the keepers of the sheep went back, giving glory and praise to God for all the things which had come to their ears and which they had seen, as it had been said to them.

bbe@Luke:2:22 @And when the necessary days for making them clean by the law of Moses had come to an end, they took him to Jerusalem to give him to the Lord

bbe@Luke:2:23 @(As it says in the law of the Lord, Every mother's first male child is to be holy to the Lord),

bbe@Luke:2:24 @And to make an offering, as it is ordered in the law of the Lord, of two doves or other young birds.

bbe@Luke:2:25 @And there was then in Jerusalem a man whose name was Simeon; and he was an upright man, fearing God and waiting for the comfort of Israel: and the Holy Spirit was on him.

bbe@Luke:2:27 @And full of the Spirit he came into the Temple; and when the father and mother came in with the child Jesus, to do with him what was ordered by the law,

bbe@Luke:2:31 @Which you have made ready before the face of all nations;

bbe@Luke:2:32 @A light of revelation to the Gentiles, and the glory of your people Israel.

bbe@Luke:2:33 @And his father and mother were full of wonder at the things which were said about him.

bbe@Luke:2:34 @And Simeon gave them his blessing and said to Mary, his mother, See, this child will be the cause of the downfall and the lifting up of great numbers of people in Israel, and he will be a sign against which hard words will be said;

bbe@Luke:2:35 @(And a sword will go through your heart;) so that the secret thoughts of men may come to light.

bbe@Luke:2:36 @And there was one, Anna, a woman prophet, the daughter of Phanuel, of the family of Asher (she was very old, and after seven years of married life

bbe@Luke:2:38 @And coming up at that time, she gave praise to God, talking of him to all those who were waiting for the freeing of Jerusalem.

bbe@Luke:2:39 @And when they had done all the things which were ordered by the law of the Lord, they went back to Galilee, to Nazareth, the town where they were living.

bbe@Luke:2:40 @And the child became tall and strong and full of wisdom, and the grace of God was on him.

bbe@Luke:2:41 @And every year his father and mother went to Jerusalem at the feast of the Passover.

bbe@Luke:2:43 @And when the days of the feast came to an end and they were going back, the boy Jesus was still in Jerusalem, but they had no knowledge of it:

bbe@Luke:2:44 @And in the belief that he was with some of their number, they went a day's journey; and after looking for him among their relations and friends,

bbe@Luke:2:47 @And all to whose ears it came were full of wonder at his knowledge and the answers which he gave.

bbe@Luke:3:1 @Now in the fifteenth year of the rule of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being ruler of Judaea, and Herod being king of Galilee, his brother Philip king of the country of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias king of Abilene,

bbe@Luke:3:2 @When Annas and Caiaphas were high priests, the word of the Lord came to John, the son of Zacharias, in the waste land.

bbe@Luke:3:3 @And he came into all the country round about Jordan, preaching baptism as a sign of forgiveness of sin for those whose hearts were changed.

bbe@Luke:3:4 @As it says in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, The voice of one crying in the waste land, Make ready the way of the Lord, make his roads straight.

bbe@Luke:3:6 @And all flesh will see the salvation of God.

bbe@Luke:3:7 @So he said to the people who went out to him for baptism: You offspring of snakes, at whose word are you going in flight from the wrath to come?

bbe@Luke:3:8 @Make clear by your acts that your hearts have been changed; and do not say to yourselves, We have Abraham for our father: for I say to you that God is able from these stones to make children of Abraham.

bbe@Luke:3:9 @And even now the axe is put to the root of the trees; and every tree which does not have good fruit will be cut down and put into the fire.

bbe@Luke:3:14 @And men of the army put questions to him, saying, And what have we to do? And he said to them, Do no violent acts to any man, and do not take anything without right, and let your payment be enough for you.

bbe@Luke:3:19 @But Herod the king, because John had made a protest on account of Herodias, his brother's wife, and other evil things which Herod had done,

bbe@Luke:3:20 @Did this most evil thing of all, and had John shut up in prison.

bbe@Luke:3:22 @The Holy Spirit came down in the form of a dove, and a voice came from heaven, saying, You are my dearly loved Son, with whom I am well pleased.

bbe@Luke:3:23 @And Jesus at this time was about thirty years old, being the son (as it seemed) of Joseph, the son of Heli,

bbe@Luke:3:24 @The son of Matthat, the son of Levi, the son of Melchi, the son of Jannai, the son of Joseph,

bbe@Luke:3:25 @The son of Mattathias, the son of Amos, the son of Nahum, the son of Esli, the son of Naggai,

bbe@Luke:3:26 @The son of Maath, the son of Mattathias, the son of Semein, the son of Josech, the son of Joda,

bbe@Luke:3:27 @The son of Joanan, the son of Rhesa, the son of Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, the son of Neri,

bbe@Luke:3:28 @The son of Melchi, the son of Addi, the son of Cosam, the son of Elmadam, the son of Er,

bbe@Luke:3:29 @The son of Jesus, the son of Eliezer, the son of Jorim, the son of Matthat, the son of Levi,

bbe@Luke:3:30 @The son of Symeon, the son of Judas, the son of Joseph, the son of Jonam, the son of Eliakim,

bbe@Luke:3:31 @The son of Melea, the son of Menna, the son of Mattatha, the son of Nathan, the son of David,

bbe@Luke:3:32 @The son of Jesse, the son of Obed, the son of Boaz, the son of Salmon, the son of Nahshon,

bbe@Luke:3:33 @The son of Amminadab, the son of Arni, the son of Hezron, the son of Perez, the son of Judah,

bbe@Luke:3:34 @The son of Jacob, the son of Isaac, the son of Abraham, the son of Terah, the son of Nahor,

bbe@Luke:3:38 @The son of Enos, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God.

bbe@Luke:4:1 @And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, came back from the Jordan, and was guided by the Spirit in the waste land

bbe@Luke:4:2 @For forty days, being tested by the Evil One. And he had no food in those days; and when they came to an end, he was in need of food.

bbe@Luke:4:3 @And the Evil One said to him, If you are the Son of God, give orders to this stone to become bread.

bbe@Luke:4:5 @And he took him up and let him see all the kingdoms of the earth in a minute of time.

bbe@Luke:4:6 @And the Evil One said, I will give you authority over all these, and the glory of them, for it has been given to me, and I give it to anyone at my pleasure.

bbe@Luke:4:9 @And he took him to Jerusalem and put him on the highest point of the Temple and said to him, If you are the Son of God, let yourself go down from here; for it is said in the Writings,

bbe@Luke:4:10 @He will give his angels orders to take care of you:

bbe@Luke:4:14 @And Jesus came back to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and the news of him went through all the country round about.

bbe@Luke:4:17 @And the book of the prophet Isaiah was given to him and, opening the book, he came on the place where it is said,

bbe@Luke:4:18 @The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because I am marked out by him to give good news to the poor; he has sent me to make well those who are broken-hearted; to say that the prisoners will be let go, and the blind will see, and to make the wounded free from their chains,

bbe@Luke:4:19 @To give knowledge that the year of the Lord's good pleasure is come.

bbe@Luke:4:20 @And shutting the book he gave it back to the servant and took his seat: and the eyes of all in the Synagogue were fixed on him.

bbe@Luke:4:22 @And they were all giving witness, with wonder, to the words of grace which came from his mouth: and they said, Is not this the son of Joseph?

bbe@Luke:4:25 @Truly I say to you, There were a number of widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up for three years and six months and there was no food in the land;

bbe@Luke:4:26 @But Elijah was not sent to one of them, but only to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow.

bbe@Luke:4:27 @And there were a number of lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, and not one of them was made clean, but only Naaman the Syrian.

bbe@Luke:4:29 @And they got up and took him out of the town to the edge of the mountain on which their town was, so that they might send him down to his death.

bbe@Luke:4:31 @And he came down to Capernaum, a town of Galilee; and he was giving them teaching on the Sabbath.

bbe@Luke:4:34 @Let us be! what have we to do with you, Jesus of Nazareth? have you come to put an end to us? I have knowledge who you are, the Holy One of God.

bbe@Luke:4:35 @And Jesus said to him, Be quiet, and come out of him. And when the evil spirit had put him down on the earth in the middle of them, he came out of him, having done him no damage.

bbe@Luke:4:38 @And he got up and went out of the Synagogue and went into the house of Simon. And Simon's wife's mother was very ill with a burning heat; and in answer to their prayers for her

bbe@Luke:4:39 @He went near her, and with a sharp word he gave orders to the disease and it went away from her; and straight away she got up and took care of their needs.

bbe@Luke:4:40 @And at sundown all those who had anyone ill with any sort of disease, took them to him, and he put his hands on every one of them and made them well.

bbe@Luke:4:41 @And evil spirits came out of a number of them, crying out and saying, You are the Son of God. But he gave them sharp orders not to say a word, because they had knowledge that he was the Christ.

bbe@Luke:4:42 @And when it was day, he came out and went to a waste place; and great numbers of people came looking for him, and they came to him and would have kept him from going away.

bbe@Luke:4:43 @But he said to them, I have to give the good news of the kingdom of God in other towns, because that is why I was sent.

bbe@Luke:4:44 @And he was teaching in the Synagogues of Galilee.

bbe@Luke:5:1 @Now it came about that while the people came pushing to be near him, and to have knowledge of the word of God, he was by a wide stretch of water named Gennesaret;

bbe@Luke:5:2 @And he saw two boats by the edge of the water, but the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets.

bbe@Luke:5:3 @And he got into one of the boats, the property of Simon, and made a request to him to go a little way out from the land. And being seated he gave the people teaching from the boat.

bbe@Luke:5:6 @And when they had done this, they got such a great number of fish that it seemed as if their nets would be broken;

bbe@Luke:5:8 @But Simon, when he saw it, went down at the knees of Jesus and said, Go away from me, O Lord, for I am a sinner.

bbe@Luke:5:9 @For he was full of wonder and so were all those who were with him, at the number of fish which they had taken;

bbe@Luke:5:10 @And so were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were working with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, Have no fear; from this time forward you will be a fisher of men.

bbe@Luke:5:12 @And it came about that while he was in one of the towns, there was a leper there: and when he saw Jesus he went down on his face in prayer to him, saying, Lord, if it is your pleasure, you have power to make me clean

bbe@Luke:5:14 @And he gave him orders: Say nothing to any man, but let the priest see you and give an offering so that you may be made clean, as the law of Moses says, and for a witness to them.

bbe@Luke:5:15 @But news of him went out all the more, in every direction, and great numbers of people came together to give hearing to his words and to be made well from their diseases.

bbe@Luke:5:17 @And it came about that on one of these days he was teaching; and some Pharisees and teachers of the law were seated there, who had come from every town of Galilee and Judaea and from Jerusalem; and the power of the Lord was with him, to make those who were ill free from their diseases.

bbe@Luke:5:18 @And some men had with them, on a bed, a man who was ill, without power of moving; and they made attempts to get him in and put him before Jesus.

bbe@Luke:5:19 @And because of the mass of people, there was no way to get him in; so they went up on the top of the house and let him down through the roof, on his bed, into the middle in front of Jesus.

bbe@Luke:5:22 @But Jesus, who had knowledge of their thoughts, said to them, Why are you reasoning in your hearts?

bbe@Luke:5:24 @But so that you may see that on earth the Son of man has authority for the forgiveness of sins, (he said to the man who was ill,) I say to you, Get up, and take up your bed, and go into your house.

bbe@Luke:5:26 @And wonder overcame them all, and they gave glory to God; and they were full of fear, saying, We have seen strange things today.

bbe@Luke:5:29 @And Levi made a great feast for him in his house: and a great number of tax-farmers and others were seated at table with them.

bbe@Luke:5:31 @And Jesus, answering, said to them, Those who are well have no need of a medical man, but those who are ill.

bbe@Luke:5:33 @And they said to him, The disciples of John frequently go without food, and make prayers, and so do the disciples of the Pharisees; but your disciples take food and drink.

bbe@Luke:5:34 @And Jesus said, Are you able to make the friends of the newly-married man go without food when he is with them?

bbe@Luke:5:36 @And he said to them, in a story, No man takes a bit of cloth from a new coat and puts it on to an old coat, for so the new coat would be damaged and the bit from the new would not go well with the old.

bbe@Luke:6:1 @Now it came about that on the Sabbath he was going through the fields of grain, and his disciples took the heads of the grain for food, crushing them in their hands.

bbe@Luke:6:2 @But some of the Pharisees said, Why do you do what it is not right to do on the Sabbath?

bbe@Luke:6:3 @And Jesus said, Have you not seen in the Writings what David did when he was in need of food, he, and those who were with him;

bbe@Luke:6:4 @How he went into the house of God and took for food the holy bread, which only the priests may take, and gave it to those who were with him?

bbe@Luke:6:5 @And he said, The Son of man is lord even of the Sabbath.

bbe@Luke:6:8 @But he had knowledge of their thoughts; and he said to the man whose hand was dead, Get up and come into the middle. And he got up and came forward.

bbe@Luke:6:10 @And looking round on all of them, he said to him, Put out your hand. And he did so: and his hand was made well.

bbe@Luke:6:11 @But they were full of wrath, and were talking together about what they might do to Jesus.

bbe@Luke:6:13 @And the day came and, turning to his disciples, he made a selection from among them of twelve, to whom he gave the name of Apostles;

bbe@Luke:6:14 @Simon, to whom he gave the name of Peter, and Andrew, his brother, and James and John and Philip and Bartholomew

bbe@Luke:6:15 @And Matthew and Thomas and James, the son of Alphaeus, and Simon, who was named the Zealot,

bbe@Luke:6:16 @And Judas, the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, he who was false to him.

bbe@Luke:6:17 @And he came down with them to a level place, and a great band of his disciples, and a very great number of people from all Judaea and Jerusalem and from the parts of Tyre and Sidon by the sea, came to give hearing to him, and to be made well from their diseases;

bbe@Luke:6:20 @And turning his eyes to his disciples he said, Happy are you who are poor: for the kingdom of God is yours.

bbe@Luke:6:21 @Happy are you who are in need of food now: for you will be made full. Happy are you who are weeping now; for you will be glad.

bbe@Luke:6:22 @Happy are you, when men have hate for you, and put you away from among them and say angry words to you, turning away in disgust at your name, because of the Son of man.

bbe@Luke:6:25 @Unhappy are you who are full of food now: for you will be in need. Unhappy are you who are laughing now: for you will be crying in sorrow.

bbe@Luke:6:29 @If a man gives you a blow on one side of your face, then let the other side be turned to him; from him who takes away your coat, do not keep back your robe.

bbe@Luke:6:34 @And if you let those have the use of your money, from whom you are hoping to get it back, what credit is it to you? even sinners do so to sinners, hoping to get back as much as they gave.

bbe@Luke:6:35 @But be loving to those who are against you and do them good, and give them your money, not giving up hope, and your reward will be great and you will be the sons of the Most High: for he is kind to evil men, and to those who have hard hearts.

bbe@Luke:6:36 @Be full of pity, even as your Father is full of pity.

bbe@Luke:6:37 @Be not judges of others, and you will not be judged: do not give punishment to others, and you will not get punishment yourselves: make others free, and you will be made free:

bbe@Luke:6:39 @And he gave them teaching in the form of a story, saying, Is it possible for one blind man to be guide to another? will they not go falling together into a hole?

bbe@Luke:6:41 @And why do you take note of the grain of dust in your brother's eye, but take no note of the bit of wood which is in your eye?

bbe@Luke:6:42 @How will you say to your brother, Brother, let me take the grain of dust out of your eye, when you yourself do not see the bit of wood in your eye? O false one! first take the wood out of your eye and then you will see clearly to take the dust out of your brother's eye.

bbe@Luke:6:45 @The good man, out of the good store of his heart, gives good things; and the evil man, out of his evil store, gives evil: for out of the full store of the heart come the words of the mouth.

bbe@Luke:6:48 @He is like a man building a house, who went deep and put the base of it on a rock; and when the water came up and the river was driving against that house, it was not moved, because the building was good.

bbe@Luke:6:49 @But he who gives hearing, without doing, is like a man building a house on the earth without a base for it; and when the force of the river came against it, straight away it came down; and the destruction of that house was great.

bbe@Luke:7:1 @After he had come to the end of all his words in the hearing of the people, he went into Capernaum.

bbe@Luke:7:3 @And when news of Jesus came to his ears, he sent to him rulers of the Jews, requesting that he would come and make his servant well.

bbe@Luke:7:9 @And when these things were said to Jesus, he was surprised, and, turning to the mass of people coming after him, said, I have not seen such great faith, no, not in Israel.

bbe@Luke:7:11 @And it came about, after a little time, that he went to a town named Nain; and his disciples went with him, and a great number of people.

bbe@Luke:7:12 @Now when he came near the door of the town, a dead man was being taken out, the only son of his mother, who was a widow: and a great number of people from the town were with her.

bbe@Luke:7:18 @And the disciples of John gave him an account of all these things.

bbe@Luke:7:19 @Then John sent two of his disciples to the Lord, saying, Are you he who is to come, or are we waiting for another?

bbe@Luke:7:21 @At that time, he made a number of people free from their diseases and their pains, and from evil spirits; and to others who were blind he gave back the use of their eyes.

bbe@Luke:7:22 @And answering them he said, Go back and give news to John of what you have seen, and the things which have come to your ears; the blind now see, those who had no power in their legs are walking, lepers are made clean, those who had no hearing now have their ears open, dead men come to life again, and the poor have the good news given to them.

bbe@Luke:7:25 @But what did you go out to see? a man in soft clothing? See now, those who have beautiful clothing and delicate food are in kings' houses.

bbe@Luke:7:27 @This is he of whom it has been said, See, I send my servant before your face, who will make ready your way before you.

bbe@Luke:7:28 @I say to you, Among all the sons of women, not one is greater than John: but he who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.

bbe@Luke:7:29 @(And all the people, and the tax-farmers, to whom John had given baptism, when they had knowledge of these things, gave glory to God.

bbe@Luke:7:30 @But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law were against the purpose of God for themselves, not having had his baptism.)

bbe@Luke:7:31 @What comparison am I to make of the men of this generation? what are they like?

bbe@Luke:7:32 @They are like children who are seated in the market-place, crying out to one another, and saying, We made music for you, but you did not take part in the dance; we gave cries of sorrow, but you were not sad.

bbe@Luke:7:34 @The Son of man came feasting, and you say, Here is a lover of food and wine, a friend of tax-farmers and sinners.

bbe@Luke:7:36 @And one of the Pharisees made a request that he would take a meal with him. And he went into the Pharisee's house and took his seat at the table.

bbe@Luke:7:37 @And there was a woman in the town who was a sinner; and when she had news that he was a guest in the Pharisee's house, she took a bottle of perfume,

bbe@Luke:7:38 @And went in and took her place at the back of him, near his feet, weeping, so that his feet were washed with the drops from her eyes, and with her hair she made them dry, and kissing his feet she put the perfume on them.

bbe@Luke:7:39 @Now when the Pharisee in whose house he was saw it, he said to himself, This man, if he was a prophet, would be conscious what sort of woman this is who has put her hands on him, that she is a sinner.

bbe@Luke:7:41 @And he said, Two men were in debt to a certain man of business: one had a debt of five hundred pence, and the other of fifty.

bbe@Luke:7:42 @When they were unable to make payment, he made the two of them free of their debts. Which of them, now, will have the greater love for him?

bbe@Luke:7:47 @And so I say to you, She will have forgiveness for her sins which are great in number, because of her great love: but he who has small need of forgiveness gives little love.

bbe@Luke:7:49 @And those who were seated at table with him said to themselves, Who is this who even gives forgiveness of sins?

bbe@Luke:8:1 @And it came about, after a short time, that he went through town and country giving the good news of the kingdom of God, and with him were the twelve,

bbe@Luke:8:3 @And Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod's chief house-servant, and Susanna and a number of others, who gave him of their wealth for his needs.

bbe@Luke:8:4 @And when a great number of people came together, and men from every town went out to him, he gave them teaching in the form of a story:

bbe@Luke:8:5 @A man went out to put in seed, and while he was doing it, some was dropped by the wayside and it was crushed under foot, and was taken by the birds of heaven.

bbe@Luke:8:9 @And his disciples put questions to him about the point of the story.

bbe@Luke:8:10 @And he said, To you is given knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of God; but to the others, they are given in stories, so that seeing, they may not see, and though they give hearing, the sense will not be clear to them.

bbe@Luke:8:11 @Now this is the point of the story: The seed is the word of God.

bbe@Luke:8:12 @Those by the side of the road are those who have given hearing; then the Evil One comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not have faith and get salvation.

bbe@Luke:8:14 @And those which went among thorns are those who have given hearing, and go on their way, but they are overcome by cares and wealth and the pleasures of life, and they give no fruit.

bbe@Luke:8:17 @For nothing is put out of view which will not be made clear, and nothing is secret of which the knowledge will not come to light.

bbe@Luke:8:19 @And his mother and his brothers came to him, and they were not able to get near him because of the great number of people.

bbe@Luke:8:21 @But he said to them in answer, My mother and my brothers are those who have knowledge of the word of God and do it.

bbe@Luke:8:22 @Now it came about on one of those days that he got into a boat with his disciples; and he said to them, Let us go over to the other side of the water: and they put out the boat.

bbe@Luke:8:23 @But while they were sailing he went to sleep: and a storm of wind came down on the sea, and the boat became full of water and they were in danger.

bbe@Luke:8:24 @Then they came to him and, awaking him out of his sleep, said, Master, Master, destruction is near. And he, when he was awake, gave orders to the wind and the rolling waves, and the storm came to an end, and all was calm.

bbe@Luke:8:26 @And they came to the country of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galilee.

bbe@Luke:8:27 @And when he had come to the land, there came to him a certain man from the town who had evil spirits; and for a long time he had had no clothing on, and was not living in a house but in the place of the dead.

bbe@Luke:8:28 @And when he saw Jesus, he gave a loud cry and went down on the earth before him and in a loud voice said, What have I to do with you, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? Do not be cruel to me.

bbe@Luke:8:29 @For he gave an order to the evil spirit to come out of the man. For frequently it would take a grip of him: and he was kept under control, and prisoned with chains; but parting the chains in two, he would be sent by the driving of the evil spirit into waste places.

bbe@Luke:8:30 @And Jesus said to him, What is your name? And he said, Legion; for a number of spirits had gone into him.

bbe@Luke:8:32 @Now there was a great herd of pigs in that place, getting food on the mountain: and the evil spirits made a request to him that he would let them go into the pigs, and he let them.

bbe@Luke:8:33 @And the evil spirits came out of the man and went into the pigs: and the herd went rushing down a sharp slope into the water and came to destruction.

bbe@Luke:8:34 @And when the men who took care of them saw what had come about, they went quickly and gave news of it in the town and the country.

bbe@Luke:8:35 @And they went out to see what had taken place, and they came to Jesus and saw the man out of whom the evil spirits had gone, seated, clothed and with full use of his senses, at the feet of Jesus; and fear came on them.

bbe@Luke:8:36 @And those who had seen it gave them an account of how the man who had the evil spirits was made well.

bbe@Luke:8:37 @And all the people of the country of the Gerasenes made a request to him to go away from them; for they were in great fear: and he got into a boat and went back.

bbe@Luke:8:39 @Go back to your house and let them have news of all the great things which God has done for you. And he went away, giving word through all the town of the great things which Jesus had done for him.

bbe@Luke:8:41 @Then there came a man named Jairus, who was a ruler in the Synagogue: and he went down at the feet of Jesus, desiring him to come to his house;

bbe@Luke:8:43 @And a woman, who had had a flow of blood for twelve years, and had given all her money to medical men, and not one of them was able to make her well,

bbe@Luke:8:44 @Came after him and put her hand on the edge of his robe, and straight away the flowing of her blood was stopped.

bbe@Luke:8:49 @While he was still talking, someone came from the house of the ruler of the Synagogue, saying, Your daughter is dead; do not go on troubling the Master.

bbe@Luke:8:51 @And when he came to the house he did not let any man go in with him, but only Peter and John and James, and the father of the girl and her mother.

bbe@Luke:8:56 @And her father and mother were full of wonder, but he gave orders to them to say nothing about it to anyone.

bbe@Luke:9:2 @And he sent them out to be preachers of the kingdom of God, and to make well those who were ill.

bbe@Luke:9:5 @And if any people will not take you in, when you go away from that town, put off its dust from your feet for a witness against them.

bbe@Luke:9:7 @Now Herod the king had news of all these things: and he was in doubt, because it was said by some people that John had come back from the dead;

bbe@Luke:9:8 @And by some, that Elijah had come; and by others, that one of the old prophets had come back to life.

bbe@Luke:9:9 @And Herod said, I put John to death: but who is this, of whom such stories are given to me? And he had a desire to see him.

bbe@Luke:9:10 @And the twelve, when they came back, gave him an account of what they had done. And he took them with him and went away from the people to a town named Beth-saida.

bbe@Luke:9:11 @But the people, getting news of it, went after him: and he was pleased to see them, and gave them teaching about the kingdom of God, and made those well who were in need of it.

bbe@Luke:9:13 @But he said, Give them food yourselves. And they said, We have only five cakes of bread and two fishes, if we do not go and get food for all these people.

bbe@Luke:9:16 @And he took the five cakes of bread and the two fishes and, looking up to heaven, he said words of blessing over them, and when they had been broken, he gave them to the disciples to give to the people.

bbe@Luke:9:17 @And they all took the food and had enough; and they took up of the broken bits which were over, twelve baskets full.

bbe@Luke:9:19 @And they, answering, said, John the Baptist; but others say Elijah; and others, that one of the old prophets has come back.

bbe@Luke:9:20 @And he said, But who do you say that I am? And Peter, answering, said, The Christ of God

bbe@Luke:9:22 @Saying, The Son of man will undergo much and be put on one side by the rulers and the chief priests and the teachers of the law, and be put to death, and on the third day he will come back to life.

bbe@Luke:9:24 @For whoever has a desire to keep his life will have it taken from him, but whoever gives up his life because of me, will keep it.

bbe@Luke:9:25 @For what profit will a man have if he gets all the world, but undergoes loss or destruction himself?

bbe@Luke:9:26 @For if any man has a feeling of shame because of me or of my words, the Son of man will have shame because of him when he comes in his glory and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.

bbe@Luke:9:27 @But truly I say to you, Some of those who are here now will have no taste of death till they see the kingdom of God.

bbe@Luke:9:31 @Who were seen in glory and were talking of his death which was about to take place in Jerusalem.

bbe@Luke:9:33 @And when they were about to go away from him, Peter said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here; let us make three tents, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah: having no knowledge of what he was saying.

bbe@Luke:9:34 @And while he said these things, the shade of a cloud came over them, and they were full of fear when they went into the cloud.

bbe@Luke:9:35 @And there was a voice from the cloud saying, This is my Son, the man of my selection; give ear to him.

bbe@Luke:9:36 @And after the voice was gone they saw that Jesus was by himself. And they kept quiet, and said nothing at that time to anyone of the things which they had seen.

bbe@Luke:9:37 @And on the day after, when they came down from the mountain, a great band of people came to him.

bbe@Luke:9:40 @And I made a request to your disciples to send it out of him, but they were not able to do it.

bbe@Luke:9:43 @And they were full of wonder at the great power of God. But while they were all wondering at all the things which he did, he said to his disciples,

bbe@Luke:9:44 @Let these words go deep into your ears, for the Son of man will be given up into the hands of men.

bbe@Luke:9:45 @But this saying was not clear to them and its sense was kept secret from them so that they were not able to see it: and they had fear of questioning him about it.

bbe@Luke:9:46 @Now there was a discussion among them about which of them would be the greatest.

bbe@Luke:9:47 @But when Jesus saw the reasoning of their hearts, he took a small child and put him by his side,

bbe@Luke:9:49 @And John, answering, said, Master, we saw a man driving out evil spirits in your name, and we did not let him do it, because he was not one of us.

bbe@Luke:9:52 @And he sent men before: and they came to a small town of Samaria to make ready for him.

bbe@Luke:9:58 @And Jesus said to him, Foxes have holes and the birds of the air have resting-places, but the Son of man has nowhere to put his head.

bbe@Luke:9:60 @But he said to him, Let the dead take care of their dead; it is for you to go and give news of the kingdom of God.

bbe@Luke:9:62 @But Jesus said, No man, having put his hand to the plough and looking back, is good enough for the kingdom of God.

bbe@Luke:10:1 @Now after these things, the Lord made selection of seventy others and sent them before him, two together, into every town and place where he himself was about to come.

bbe@Luke:10:2 @And he said to them, There is much grain ready to be cut, but not enough workers: so make prayer to the Lord of the grain-fields that he will send workers to get in the grain.

bbe@Luke:10:6 @And if a son of peace is there, your peace will be with him: but if not, it will come back to you again.

bbe@Luke:10:9 @And make well those in it who are ill and say to them, The kingdom of God is near to you

bbe@Luke:10:10 @But if you go into a town where they will not have you, go out into the streets of it and say,

bbe@Luke:10:11 @Even the dust of your town, which is on our feet, we put off as a witness against you; but be certain of this, that the kingdom of God is near.

bbe@Luke:10:13 @A curse is on you, Chorazin! A curse is on you, Beth-saida! For if such works of power had been done in Tyre and Sidon as have been done in you, they would have been turned from their sins, in days gone by, seated in the dust.

bbe@Luke:10:14 @But it will be better for Tyre and Sidon, in the day of judging, than for you.

bbe@Luke:10:19 @See, I have given you power to put your feet on snakes and evil beasts, and over all the strength of him who is against you: and nothing will do you damage.

bbe@Luke:10:21 @In that same hour he was full of joy in the Holy Spirit and said, I give praise to you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have kept these things secret from the wise and the men of learning, and have made them clear to little children: for so, O Father, it was pleasing in your eyes.

bbe@Luke:10:22 @All things have been given to me by my Father: and no one has knowledge of the Son, but only the Father: and of the Father, but only the Son, and he to whom the Son will make it clear.

bbe@Luke:10:24 @For I say to you that numbers of prophets and kings have had a desire to see the things which you see, and have not seen them, and to have knowledge of the things which have come to your ears, and they had it not.

bbe@Luke:10:25 @And a certain teacher of the law got up and put him to the test, saying, Master, what have I to do so that I may have eternal life?

bbe@Luke:10:26 @And he said to him, What does the law say, in your reading of it?

bbe@Luke:10:30 @And Jesus, answering him, said, A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he got into the hands of thieves, who took his clothing and gave him cruel blows, and when they went away, he was half dead.

bbe@Luke:10:33 @But a certain man of Samaria, journeying that way, came where he was, and when he saw him, he was moved with pity for him,

bbe@Luke:10:34 @And came to him and put clean linen round his wounds, with oil and wine; and he put him on his beast and took him to a house and took care of him.

bbe@Luke:10:35 @And the day after he took two pennies and gave them to the owner of the house and said, Take care of him; and if this money is not enough, when I come again I will give you whatever more is needed.

bbe@Luke:10:36 @Which of these three men, in your opinion, was neighbour to the man who came into the hands of thieves?

bbe@Luke:10:40 @But Martha had her hands full of the work of the house, and she came to him and said, Lord, is it nothing to you that my sister has let me do all the work? Say to her that she is to give me some help.

bbe@Luke:10:41 @But the Lord, answering, said to her, Martha, Martha, you are full of care and troubled about such a number of things:

bbe@Luke:11:1 @And it came about that he was in prayer in a certain place, and when he came to an end, one of his disciples said to him, Lord, will you give us teaching about prayer, as John did to his disciples?

bbe@Luke:11:5 @And he said to them, Which of you, having a friend, would go to him in the middle of the night and say to him, Friend, let me have three cakes of bread;

bbe@Luke:11:6 @Because a friend of mine has come to me on a journey, and I have nothing to put before him;

bbe@Luke:11:8 @I say to you, Though he will not get up and give to him, because he is his friend, still, if he keeps on making his request, he will get up and give him as much as he has need of.

bbe@Luke:11:11 @And which of you, being a father, will give a stone to his son, who makes request for bread? or for a fish, will give him a snake?

bbe@Luke:11:14 @And he was sending an evil spirit out of a man who was without the power of talking. And it came about that when the spirit had gone the man had the power of talking; and the people were full of wonder.

bbe@Luke:11:15 @But some of them said, He sends out evil spirits by Beelzebul, the ruler of evil spirits.

bbe@Luke:11:17 @But he, having knowledge of their thoughts, said to them, Every kingdom in which there is division is made waste; and a house in which there is division comes to destruction.

bbe@Luke:11:18 @If, then, Satan is at war with himself, how will he keep his kingdom? because you say that I send evil spirits out of men by the help of Beelzebul.

bbe@Luke:11:20 @But if I, by the finger of God, send out evil spirits, then the kingdom of God has overtaken you.

bbe@Luke:11:22 @But when one who is stronger makes an attack on him and overcomes him, he takes away his instruments of war, in which he had put his faith, and makes division of his goods.

bbe@Luke:11:24 @The unclean spirit, when he has gone out of a man, goes through dry places, looking for rest; and when he does not get it, he says, I will go back to my house from which I came.

bbe@Luke:11:26 @Then he goes and gets seven other spirits more evil than himself, and they go in, and take their places there: and the last condition of that man is worse than the first.

bbe@Luke:11:28 @But he said, More happy are they who give hearing to the word of God and keep it.

bbe@Luke:11:29 @And when a great number of people came together to him, he said, This generation is an evil generation: it is looking for a sign and no sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah.

bbe@Luke:11:30 @For even as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so will the Son of man be to this generation.

bbe@Luke:11:31 @The queen of the South will come up on the day of judging and give her decision against the men of this generation: for she came from the ends of the earth to give ear to the wisdom of Solomon; and now something greater than Solomon is here.

bbe@Luke:11:32 @The men of Nineveh will come up in the day of judging and give their decision against this generation: for they were turned away from their sins at the preaching of Jonah; but now something greater than Jonah is here.

bbe@Luke:11:34 @The light of the body is the eye: when your eye is true, all your body is full of light; but when it is evil, your body is dark.

bbe@Luke:11:36 @If, then, all your body is light, with no part of it dark, it will be completely full of light, as when a flame with its bright shining gives you light.

bbe@Luke:11:39 @And the Lord said to him, You Pharisees make the outside of the cup and the plate clean; but inside you are thieves and full of evil.

bbe@Luke:11:42 @But a curse is on you, Pharisees! for you make men give a tenth of every sort of plant, and give no thought to right and the love of God; but it is right for you to do these things, and not let the others be undone.

bbe@Luke:11:43 @A curse is on you, Pharisees! for your desires are for the most important seats in the Synagogues and for words of respect said to you in the market-place.

bbe@Luke:11:44 @A curse is on you! for you are like the resting-places of dead men, which are not seen, and men go walking over them without knowledge of it.

bbe@Luke:11:45 @And one of the teachers of the law, answering, said to him, Master, in saying this, you give a bad name to us as to them.

bbe@Luke:11:46 @And he said, A curse is on you, teachers of the law! for while other men are crushed under the weight of the rules you make for them, you yourselves do not put so much as one finger to them.

bbe@Luke:11:47 @A curse is on you! for you make resting-places for the bodies of the prophets, but your fathers put them to death.

bbe@Luke:11:48 @So you are witnesses and give approval to the work of your fathers; for they put them to death and you make their last resting-places.

bbe@Luke:11:49 @For this reason the wisdom of God has said, I will send them prophets and teachers, and to some of them they will give death and cruel pains;

bbe@Luke:11:50 @So that punishment may come on this generation for the blood of all the prophets which was given from the earliest days;

bbe@Luke:11:51 @From the blood of Abel to the blood of Zachariah, who was put to death between the altar and the Temple. Yes, I say to you, It will come on this generation.

bbe@Luke:11:52 @A curse is on you, teachers of the law! for you have taken away the key of knowledge: you did not go in yourselves, and you got in the way of those who were going in.

bbe@Luke:11:53 @And when he had come out of that place, the scribes and the Pharisees came round him angrily, questioning him about more things;

bbe@Luke:12:1 @At that time, when thousands of the people had come together, in such numbers that they were crushing one another, he said first to his disciples, Have nothing to do with the leaven of the Pharisees, which is deceit.

bbe@Luke:12:4 @And I say to you, my friends, Have no fear of those who may put the body to death, and are able to do no more than that.

bbe@Luke:12:5 @But I will make clear to you of whom you are to be in fear: of him who after death has power to send you to hell; yes, truly I say, Have fear of him.

bbe@Luke:12:6 @Are not five sparrows given in exchange for two farthings? and God has every one of them in mind.

bbe@Luke:12:7 @But even the hairs of your head are numbered. Have no fear: you are of more value than a flock of sparrows.

bbe@Luke:12:8 @And I say to you that to everyone who gives witness to me before men, the Son of man will give witness before the angels of God.

bbe@Luke:12:9 @But if anyone says before men that he has no knowledge of me, I will say that I have no knowledge of him before the angels of God.

bbe@Luke:12:10 @And if anyone says a word against the Son of man, he will have forgiveness: but for him who says evil words against the Holy Spirit, there will be no forgiveness.

bbe@Luke:12:13 @And one of the people said to him, Master, give an order to my brother to make division of the heritage with me

bbe@Luke:12:14 @But he said, Man, who made me a judge or a maker of decisions for you?

bbe@Luke:12:15 @And he said to them, Take care to keep yourselves free from the desire for property; for a man's life is not made up of the number of things which he has.

bbe@Luke:12:16 @And he said to them, in a story, The land of a certain man of great wealth was very fertile:

bbe@Luke:12:19 @And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have a great amount of goods in store, enough for a number of years; be at rest, take food and wine and be happy.

bbe@Luke:12:20 @But God said to him, You foolish one, tonight I will take your soul from you, and who then will be the owner of all the things which you have got together?

bbe@Luke:12:21 @So that is what comes to the man who gets wealth for himself, and has not wealth in the eyes of God.

bbe@Luke:12:24 @Give thought to the ravens; they do not put seeds into the earth, or get together grain; they have no store-houses or buildings; and God gives them their food: of how much greater value are you than the birds!

bbe@Luke:12:25 @And which of you by taking thought is able to make himself any taller?

bbe@Luke:12:27 @Give thought to the flowers: they do no work, they make no thread; and still I say to you, Even Solomon, in all his glory, was not clothed like one of these.

bbe@Luke:12:28 @But if God gives such clothing to the grass in the field, which today is living, and tomorrow will be burned in the oven, how much more will he give clothing to you, O men of little faith?

bbe@Luke:12:29 @And do not give overmuch thought to your food and drink, and let not your mind be full of doubts.

bbe@Luke:12:30 @For the nations of the world go in search of all these things: but your Father has knowledge that you have need of them.

bbe@Luke:12:38 @And if he comes in the second division of the night or in the third, and they are watching for him, happy are those servants.

bbe@Luke:12:39 @But be certain of this, that if the master of the house had had knowledge of the time when the thief was coming, he would have been watching, and would not have let his house be broken into.

bbe@Luke:12:40 @So be ready: for the Son of man is coming at a time when you are not looking for him.

bbe@Luke:12:42 @And the Lord said, Who then is the wise and responsible servant whom his lord will put in control of his family, to give them their food at the right time?

bbe@Luke:12:44 @Truly I say to you, he will put him in control of all his goods.

bbe@Luke:12:46 @The lord of that servant will come at a time when he is not looking for him, and at an hour when he is not ready for him, and he will have him cut in two and will give him his part in the fate of those who have no faith;

bbe@Luke:12:47 @And the servant who had knowledge of his lord's desires and was not ready for him and did not do as he was ordered, will be given a great number of blows;

bbe@Luke:12:48 @But he who, without knowledge, did things for which punishment is given, will get only a small number of blows. The man to whom much is given, will have to give much; if much is given into his care, of him more will be requested.

bbe@Luke:12:52 @For from this time, a family of five in one house will be on opposite sides, three against two and two against three.

bbe@Luke:12:56 @O false ones! the face of the earth and the heaven is clear to you; how is it that the signs of these times are not as clear to you?

bbe@Luke:12:57 @And why are you, in your hearts, unable to be judges of what is right?

bbe@Luke:12:59 @I say to you, You will not come out of it till you have made payment to the very last farthing.

bbe@Luke:13:1 @Now some people who were there at that time, gave him an account of how the blood of some Galilaeans had been mixed by Pilate with their offerings.

bbe@Luke:13:2 @And he, in answer, said to them, Are you of the opinion that these Galilaeans were worse than all other Galilaeans, because these things were done to them?

bbe@Luke:13:4 @Or those eighteen men who were crushed by the fall of the tower of Siloam, were they worse than all the other men living in Jerusalem?

bbe@Luke:13:10 @And he was teaching in one of the Synagogues on the Sabbath.

bbe@Luke:13:14 @And the ruler of the Synagogue was angry because Jesus had made her well on the Sabbath, and he said to the people, There are six days in which men may do work: so come on those days to be made well, and not on the Sabbath.

bbe@Luke:13:15 @But the Lord gave him an answer and said, O you false men! do you not, every one of you, on the Sabbath, let loose his ox and his ass and take it to the water?

bbe@Luke:13:16 @And is it not right for this daughter of Abraham, who has been in the power of Satan for eighteen years, to be made free on the Sabbath?

bbe@Luke:13:17 @And when he said these things, those who were against him were shamed, and all the people were full of joy because of the great things which were done by him.

bbe@Luke:13:18 @Then he said, What is the kingdom of God like? what comparison may I make of it?

bbe@Luke:13:19 @It is like a grain of mustard seed which a man took and put in his garden, and it became a tree, and the birds of heaven made their resting-places in its branches.

bbe@Luke:13:20 @And again he said, What is the kingdom of God like?

bbe@Luke:13:21 @It is like leaven, which a woman put into three measures of meal, and it was all leavened.

bbe@Luke:13:25 @When the master of the house has got up, and the door has been shut, and you, still outside, give blows on the door, saying, Lord, let us in; he will make answer and say, I have no knowledge of where you come from.

bbe@Luke:13:27 @But he will say, Truly, I have no knowledge of you or where you come from; go away from me, you workers of evil.

bbe@Luke:13:28 @There will be weeping and cries of sorrow when you see Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, but you yourselves are shut outside.

bbe@Luke:13:29 @And they will come from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south, and take their places in the kingdom of God.

bbe@Luke:13:32 @And he said, Go and say to that fox, I send out evil spirits and do works of mercy today and tomorrow, and on the third day my work will be complete.

bbe@Luke:13:35 @Now see, your house is waste, and I say to you, You will not see me again till you say, A blessing on him who comes in the name of the Lord.

bbe@Luke:14:1 @And it came about that when he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees on the Sabbath, to have a meal, they were watching him.

bbe@Luke:14:5 @And he said to them, Which of you, whose ox or ass has got into a water-hole, will not straight away get him out on the Sabbath?

bbe@Luke:14:7 @And he gave teaching in the form of a story to the guests who came to the feast, when he saw how they took the best seats; saying to them,

bbe@Luke:14:9 @And then the giver of the feast will come to you and say, Give your place to this man; and you, with shame, will have to take the lowest seat.

bbe@Luke:14:10 @But when you come, go and take the lowest seat, so that when the giver of the feast comes, he may say to you, Friend, come up higher; and then you will have honour in the eyes of all the others who are there.

bbe@Luke:14:12 @And he said to the master of the house, When you give a feast, do not send for your friends and your brothers and your family or your neighbours who have wealth, for they may give a feast for you, and so you will get a reward.

bbe@Luke:14:15 @And, hearing these words, one of those who were at table with him said to him, Happy is the man who will be a guest in the kingdom of God.

bbe@Luke:14:16 @And he said to them, A certain man gave a great feast, and sent word of it to a number of people.

bbe@Luke:14:18 @And they all gave reasons why they were not able to come. The first said to him, I have got a new field, and it is necessary for me to go and see it: I am full of regret that I am unable to come.

bbe@Luke:14:19 @And another said, I have got some cattle, and I am going to make a test of them: I am full of regret that I am unable to come.

bbe@Luke:14:21 @And the servant came back and gave his master an account of these things. Then the master of the house was angry and said to the servant, Go out quickly into the streets of the town and get the poor, the blind, and those who are broken in body.

bbe@Luke:14:24 @For I say to you that not one of those who were requested to come will have a taste of my feast.

bbe@Luke:14:25 @Now a great number of people went with him.

bbe@Luke:14:28 @For which of you, desiring to put up a tower, does not first give much thought to the price, if he will have enough to make it complete?

bbe@Luke:14:31 @Or what king, going to war with another king, will not first take thought if he will be strong enough, with ten thousand men, to keep off him who comes against him with twenty thousand?

bbe@Luke:14:32 @Or while the other is still a great distance away, he sends representatives requesting conditions of peace.

bbe@Luke:14:34 @For salt is good, but if the taste goes from it, of what use is it?

bbe@Luke:14:35 @It is no good for the land or for the place of waste; no one has a use for it. He who has ears, let him give ear.

bbe@Luke:15:4 @What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if one of them gets loose and goes away, will not let the ninety-nine be in the waste land by themselves, and go after the wandering one, till he sees where it is?

bbe@Luke:15:7 @I say to you that even so there will be more joy in heaven when one sinner is turned away from his wrongdoing, than for ninety-nine good men, who have no need of a change of heart.

bbe@Luke:15:8 @Or what woman, having ten bits of silver, if one bit has gone from her hands, will not get a light, and go through her house, searching with care till she sees it?

bbe@Luke:15:9 @And when she has it again, she gets her friends and neighbours together, saying, Be glad with me, for I have got back the bit of silver which had gone from me.

bbe@Luke:15:10 @Even so, I say to you, There is joy among the angels of God, when one sinner is turned away from his wrongdoing.

bbe@Luke:15:12 @And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me that part of your property which will be mine. And he made division of his goods between them.

bbe@Luke:15:15 @And he went and put himself into the hands of one of the people of that country, and he sent him into his fields to give the pigs their food.

bbe@Luke:15:17 @But when he came to his senses, he said, What numbers of my father's servants have bread enough, and more, while I am near to death here through need of food!

bbe@Luke:15:19 @I am no longer good enough to be named your son: make me like one of your servants

bbe@Luke:15:24 @For this, my son, who was dead, is living again; he had gone away from me, and has come back. And they were full of joy.

bbe@Luke:15:25 @Now the older son was in the field: and when he came near the house, the sounds of music and dancing came to his ears.

bbe@Luke:15:26 @And he sent for one of the servants, questioning him about what it might be.

bbe@Luke:16:1 @And another time he said to the disciples, There was a certain man of great wealth who had a servant; and it was said to him that this servant was wasting his goods.

bbe@Luke:16:2 @And he sent for him and said, What is this which is said about you? give me an account of all you have done, for you will no longer be the manager of my property.

bbe@Luke:16:4 @I have come to a decision what to do, so that when I am put out of my position they will take me into their houses.

bbe@Luke:16:5 @And sending for every one who was in debt to his lord he said to the first, What is the amount of your debt to my lord?

bbe@Luke:16:6 @And he said, A hundred measures of oil. And he said, Take your account straight away and put down fifty.

bbe@Luke:16:7 @Then he said to another, What is the amount of your debt? And he said, A hundred measures of grain. And he said to him, Take your account and put down eighty.

bbe@Luke:16:8 @And his lord was pleased with the false servant, because he had been wise; for the sons of this world are wiser in relation to their generation than the sons of light.

bbe@Luke:16:9 @And I say to you, Make friends for yourselves through the wealth of this life, so that when it comes to an end, you may be taken into the eternal resting-places.

bbe@Luke:16:11 @If, then, you have not been true in your use of the wealth of this life, who will give into your care the true wealth?

bbe@Luke:16:12 @And if you have not been true in your care of the property of other people, who will give you that which is yours?

bbe@Luke:16:13 @No man may be a servant to two masters: for he will have hate for the one and love for the other; or he will keep to the one and have no respect for the other. You may not be servants of God and of wealth.

bbe@Luke:16:14 @And the Pharisees, who had a great love of money, hearing these things, were making sport of him.

bbe@Luke:16:15 @And he said, You take care to seem right in the eyes of men, but God sees your hearts: and those things which are important in the opinion of men, are evil in the eyes of God.

bbe@Luke:16:16 @The law and the prophets were till John: but then came the preaching of the kingdom of God, and everyone makes his way into it by force.

bbe@Luke:16:17 @But heaven and earth will come to an end before the smallest letter of the law may be dropped out.

bbe@Luke:16:19 @Now there was a certain man of great wealth, who was dressed in fair clothing of purple and delicate linen, and was shining and glad every day.

bbe@Luke:16:20 @And a certain poor man, named Lazarus, was stretched out at his door, full of wounds,

bbe@Luke:16:21 @Desiring the broken bits of food which came from the table of the man of wealth; and even the dogs came and put their tongues on his wounds

bbe@Luke:16:22 @And in time the poor man came to his end, and angels took him to Abraham's breast. And the man of wealth came to his end, and was put in the earth.

bbe@Luke:16:24 @And he gave a cry and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me and send Lazarus, so that he may put the end of his finger in water and put it on my tongue, for I am cruelly burning in this flame.

bbe@Luke:16:28 @For I have five brothers; and let him give them an account of these things, so that they may not come to this place of pain.

bbe@Luke:17:1 @And he said to his disciples, It is necessary for causes of trouble to come about, but unhappy is he by whom they come.

bbe@Luke:17:2 @It would be well for him if a great stone was put round his neck and he was dropped into the sea, before he made trouble for any of these little ones.

bbe@Luke:17:6 @And the Lord said, If your faith was only as great as a grain of mustard seed, you might say to this tree, Be rooted up and planted in the sea; and it would be done.

bbe@Luke:17:7 @But which of you, having a servant who is ploughing or keeping sheep, will say to him, when he comes in from the field, Come now and be seated and have a meal,

bbe@Luke:17:10 @In the same way, when you have done all the things which are given you to do, say, There is no profit in us, for we have only done what we were ordered to do.

bbe@Luke:17:15 @And one of them, when he saw that he was clean, turning back, gave praise to God in a loud voice;

bbe@Luke:17:16 @And, falling down on his face at the feet of Jesus, he gave the credit to him; and he was a man of Samaria.

bbe@Luke:17:18 @Have not any of them come back to give glory to God, but only this one from a strange land?

bbe@Luke:17:20 @And when the Pharisees put questions to him about when the kingdom of God would come, he gave them an answer and said, The kingdom of God will not come through observation:

bbe@Luke:17:21 @And men will not say, See, it is here! or, There! for the kingdom of God is among you.

bbe@Luke:17:22 @And he said to his disciples, The time will come when you will have a great desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, but you will not see it.

bbe@Luke:17:24 @For as in a thunderstorm the bright light is seen from one end of the sky to the other, so will the Son of man be when his time comes.

bbe@Luke:17:26 @And as it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the day of the Son of man.

bbe@Luke:17:27 @They were feasting and taking wives and getting married, till the day of the overflowing of the waters, when Noah went into the ark, and they all came to destruction.

bbe@Luke:17:28 @In the same way, in the days of Lot; they were feasting and trading, they were planting and building;

bbe@Luke:17:29 @But on the day when Lot went out of Sodom, fire came down from heaven and destruction came on them all.

bbe@Luke:17:30 @So will it be in the day of the revelation of the Son of man.

bbe@Luke:17:31 @On that day, if anyone is on the roof of the house, and his goods are in the house, let him not go down to take them away; and let him who is in the field not go back to his house.

bbe@Luke:18:1 @And he made a story for them, the point of which was that men were to go on making prayer and not get tired;

bbe@Luke:18:2 @Saying, There was a judge in a certain town, who had no fear of God or respect for man:

bbe@Luke:18:4 @And for a time he would not: but later, he said to himself, Though I have no fear of God or respect for man,

bbe@Luke:18:6 @And the Lord said, Give ear to the words of the evil judge.

bbe@Luke:18:7 @And will not God do right in the cause of his saints, whose cries come day and night to his ears, though he is long in doing it?

bbe@Luke:18:8 @I say to you that he will quickly do right in their cause. But when the Son of man comes, will there be any faith on earth?

bbe@Luke:18:9 @And he made this story for some people who were certain that they were good, and had a low opinion of others:

bbe@Luke:18:12 @Twice in the week I go without food; I give a tenth of all I have.

bbe@Luke:18:13 @The tax-farmer, on the other hand, keeping far away, and not lifting up even his eyes to heaven, made signs of grief and said, God, have mercy on me, a sinner.

bbe@Luke:18:16 @But Jesus sent for them, saying, Let the children come to me, and do not keep them away, for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

bbe@Luke:18:17 @Truly I say to you, Whoever does not put himself under the kingdom of God like a little child, will not come into it at all.

bbe@Luke:18:20 @You have knowledge of what the law says: Do not be untrue to your wife, Do not put anyone to death, Do not take what is not yours, Do not give false witness, Give honour to your father and mother.

bbe@Luke:18:22 @And Jesus, hearing it, said to him, One thing you still have need of; get money for your goods, and give it away to the poor, and you will have wealth in heaven; and come after me.

bbe@Luke:18:24 @And Jesus, looking at him, said, How hard it is for those who have wealth to get into the kingdom of God!

bbe@Luke:18:25 @It is simpler for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a man who has much money to come into the kingdom of God.

bbe@Luke:18:29 @And he said to them, Truly I say to you, There is no man who has given up house or wife or brothers or father or mother or children, because of the kingdom of God,

bbe@Luke:18:31 @And he took with him the twelve and said to them, Now we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things which were said by the prophets will be done to the Son of man.

bbe@Luke:18:32 @For he will be given up to the Gentiles, and will be made sport of and put to shame:

bbe@Luke:18:34 @But they did not take in the sense of any of these words, and what he said was not clear to them, and their minds were not able to see it.

bbe@Luke:18:35 @And it came about that when he got near Jericho, a certain blind man was seated by the side of the road, making requests for money from those who went by.

bbe@Luke:18:36 @And hearing the sound of a great number of people going by, he said, What is this?

bbe@Luke:18:37 @And they said to him, Jesus of Nazareth is going by.

bbe@Luke:18:38 @And he said in a loud voice, Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.

bbe@Luke:18:39 @And those who were in front made protests and said to him, Be quiet: but he said all the more, O Son of David, have mercy on me.

bbe@Luke:19:2 @A man, named Zacchaeus, who was the chief tax-farmer, and a man of wealth,

bbe@Luke:19:3 @Made an attempt to get a view of Jesus, and was not able to do so, because of the people, for he was a small man.

bbe@Luke:19:4 @And he went quickly in front of them and got up into a tree to see him, for he was going that way.

bbe@Luke:19:7 @And when they saw it, they were all angry, saying, He has gone into the house of a sinner.

bbe@Luke:19:8 @And Zacchaeus, waiting before him, said to the Lord, See, Lord, half of my goods I give to the poor, and if I have taken anything from anyone wrongly, I give him back four times as much.

bbe@Luke:19:9 @And Jesus said to him, Today salvation has come to this house, for even he is a son of Abraham.

bbe@Luke:19:10 @For the Son of man came to make search for those who are wandering from the way, and to be their Saviour

bbe@Luke:19:11 @And while they were giving ear to these words, he made another story for them, because he was near Jerusalem, and because they were of the opinion that the kingdom of God was coming straight away.

bbe@Luke:19:12 @So he said, A certain man of high birth went into a far-away country to get a kingdom for himself, and to come back.

bbe@Luke:19:13 @And he sent for ten of his servants and gave them ten pounds and said to them, Do business with this till I come.

bbe@Luke:19:15 @And when he came back again, having got his kingdom, he gave orders for those servants to whom he had given the money to come to him, so that he might have an account of what business they had done.

bbe@Luke:19:21 @Because I was in fear of you, for you are a hard man: you take up what you have not put down, and get in grain where you have not put seed.

bbe@Luke:19:22 @He said to him, By the words of your mouth you will be judged, you bad servant. You had knowledge that I am a hard man, taking up what I have not put down and getting in grain where I have not put seed;

bbe@Luke:19:28 @And when he had said this, he went on in front of them, going up to Jerusalem.

bbe@Luke:19:29 @And it came about that when he got near Beth-phage and Bethany by the mountain which is named the Mountain of Olives, he sent two of the disciples,

bbe@Luke:19:30 @Saying, Go into the little town in front of you, and on going in you will see a young ass fixed with a cord, on which no man has ever been seated; let him loose and take him.

bbe@Luke:19:31 @And if anyone says to you, Why are you taking him? say, The Lord has need of him.

bbe@Luke:19:33 @And when they were getting the young ass, the owners of it said to them, Why are you taking the young ass?

bbe@Luke:19:34 @And they said, The Lord has need of him.

bbe@Luke:19:36 @And while he went on his way they put their clothing down on the road in front of him.

bbe@Luke:19:37 @And when he came near the foot of the Mountain of Olives, all the disciples with loud voices gave praise to God with joy, because of all the great works which they had seen;

bbe@Luke:19:38 @Saying, A blessing on the King who comes in the name of the Lord; peace in heaven and glory in the highest.

bbe@Luke:19:39 @And some of the Pharisees among the people said to him, Master, make your disciples be quiet.

bbe@Luke:19:42 @Saying, If you, even you, had knowledge today, of the things which give peace! but you are not able to see them.

bbe@Luke:19:44 @And will make you level with the earth, and your children with you; and there will not be one stone resting on another in you, because you did not see that it was your day of mercy.

bbe@Luke:19:46 @Saying to them, It has been said, My house is to be a house of prayer, but you have made it a hole of thieves.

bbe@Luke:19:47 @And every day he was teaching in the Temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the rulers of the people were attempting to put him to death;

bbe@Luke:20:1 @And it came about on one of those days, when he was teaching the people in the Temple and preaching the good news,

bbe@Luke:20:2 @That the chief priests and the scribes and the rulers of the people came to him and said, Make clear to us by what authority you do these things and who gave you this authority.

bbe@Luke:20:4 @The baptism of John, was it from heaven or of men?

bbe@Luke:20:6 @But if we say, Of men; we will be stoned by the people, for they are certain that John was a prophet.

bbe@Luke:20:9 @And he gave the people this story: A man made a vine-garden and gave the use of it to some field-workers and went into another country for a long time.

bbe@Luke:20:10 @And at the right time he sent a servant to the workers to get part of the fruit from the vines; but the workmen gave him blows and sent him away with nothing.

bbe@Luke:20:13 @And the lord of the garden said, What am I to do? I will send my dearly loved son; they may give respect to him.

bbe@Luke:20:14 @But when the workmen saw him, they said to one another, This is he who will one day be the owner of the property: let us put him to death and the heritage will be ours.

bbe@Luke:20:15 @And driving him out of the garden they put him to death. Now what will the lord do to these workmen?

bbe@Luke:20:17 @But he, looking on them, said, Is it not in the Writings, The stone which the builders put on one side, the same has become the chief stone of the building?

bbe@Luke:20:19 @And the chief priests and the scribes made attempts to get their hands on him in that very hour; and they were in fear of the people, for they saw that he had made up this story against them.

bbe@Luke:20:20 @And they kept watch on him, and sent out secret representatives, who were acting the part of good men, in order that they might get something from his words, on account of which they might give him up to the government and into the power of the ruler.

bbe@Luke:20:21 @And they put a question to him, saying, Master, we are certain that your teaching and your words are right, and that you have no respect for a man's position, but you are teaching the true way of God:

bbe@Luke:20:22 @Is it right for us to make payment of taxes to Caesar or not?

bbe@Luke:20:26 @And they were not able to get anything from these words before the people: but they were full of wonder at his answer, and said nothing.

bbe@Luke:20:27 @And some of the Sadducees came to him, who say that there is no coming back from the dead; and they said to him,

bbe@Luke:20:32 @And last of all, the woman came to her end.

bbe@Luke:20:34 @And Jesus said to them, The sons of this world are married and have wives;

bbe@Luke:20:35 @But those to whom is given the reward of the world to come, and to come back from the dead, have no wives, and are not married;

bbe@Luke:20:36 @And death has no more power over them, for they are equal to the angels, and are sons of God, being of those who will come back from the dead.

bbe@Luke:20:37 @But even Moses made it clear that the dead come back to life, saying, in the story of the burning thorn-tree, The Lord, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.

bbe@Luke:20:38 @Now he is not the God of the dead but of the living: for all men are living to him.

bbe@Luke:20:39 @And some of the scribes, in answer to this, said, Master, you have said well.

bbe@Luke:20:40 @And they had fear of putting any more questions to him.

bbe@Luke:20:41 @And he said to them, Why do they say that the Christ is the son of David?

bbe@Luke:20:42 @For David himself says in the book of Psalms, The Lord said to my Lord, Take your seat at my right hand,

bbe@Luke:20:44 @David then gives him the name of Lord, so how is it possible for him to be his son?

bbe@Luke:20:45 @And in the hearing of all the people he said to his disciples,

bbe@Luke:20:46 @Keep away from the scribes, whose pleasure it is to go about in long robes, and to have words of respect said to them in the market-places, and to take the chief seats in the Synagogues and the first places at feasts;

bbe@Luke:20:47 @Who take the property of widows and before the eyes of men make long prayers; they will get a greater punishment.

bbe@Luke:21:1 @And looking up, he saw the men of wealth putting their offerings in the money-box.

bbe@Luke:21:3 @And he said, Truly I say to you, This poor widow has given more than all of them:

bbe@Luke:21:4 @For they gave out of their wealth, having more than enough for themselves: but she, even out of her need, has put in all her living.

bbe@Luke:21:5 @And some were talking about the Temple, how it was made fair with beautiful stones and with offerings, but he said,

bbe@Luke:21:8 @And he said, Take care that you are not tricked: for a number of people will come in my name, saying, I am he; and, The time is near: do not go after them.

bbe@Luke:21:9 @And when news of wars and troubled times comes to your ears, have no fear; for these things have to be, but the end will not be now.

bbe@Luke:21:11 @There will be great earth-shocks and outbursts of disease in a number of places, and men will be without food; and there will be wonders and great signs from heaven.

bbe@Luke:21:12 @But before all this, they will take you and be very cruel to you, giving you up to the Synagogues and to prisons, taking you before kings and rulers, because of my name.

bbe@Luke:21:15 @For I will give you words and wisdom, so that not one of those who are against you will be able to get the better of you, or to put you in the wrong.

bbe@Luke:21:16 @But you will be given up even by your fathers and mothers, your brothers and relations and friends; and some of you will be put to death.

bbe@Luke:21:17 @And you will be hated by all men, because of me.

bbe@Luke:21:18 @But not a hair of your head will come to destruction.

bbe@Luke:21:21 @Then let those who are in Judaea go in flight to the mountains; and those who are in the middle of the town go out; and let not those who are in the country come in.

bbe@Luke:21:22 @For these are the days of punishment, in which all the things in the Writings will be put into effect.

bbe@Luke:21:24 @And they will be put to death with the sword, and will be taken as prisoners into all the nations; and Jerusalem will be crushed under the feet of the Gentiles, till the times of the Gentiles are complete.

bbe@Luke:21:25 @And there will be signs in the sun and moon and stars; and on the earth, fear among the nations and doubt because of the loud noise of the sea and the waves;

bbe@Luke:21:26 @Men's strength will go from them in fear and in waiting for the things which are coming on the earth; for the powers of the heavens will be moved.

bbe@Luke:21:27 @And then they will see the Son of man coming in a cloud, with power and great glory.

bbe@Luke:21:30 @When they put out their young leaves, you take note of it, and it is clear to you that summer is coming.

bbe@Luke:21:31 @In the same way, when you see these things taking place you may be certain that the kingdom of God is near.

bbe@Luke:21:34 @But give attention to yourselves, for fear that your hearts become over-full of the pleasures of food and wine, and the cares of this life, and that day may come on you suddenly, and take you as in a net:

bbe@Luke:21:35 @For so it will come on all those who are living on the face of all the earth.

bbe@Luke:21:36 @But keep watch at all times with prayer, that you may be strong enough to come through all these things and take your place before the Son of man.

bbe@Luke:21:37 @And every day he was teaching in the Temple and every night he went out to the mountain which is named the Mountain of Olives to take his rest.

bbe@Luke:22:1 @Now the feast of unleavened bread was near, which is called the Passover.

bbe@Luke:22:2 @And the chief priests and the scribes were looking for a chance to put him to death, but they went in fear of the people.

bbe@Luke:22:3 @And Satan came into Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve.

bbe@Luke:22:7 @And the day of unleavened bread came, when the Passover lamb is put to death.

bbe@Luke:22:10 @And he said to them, When you go into the town you will see a man coming to you with a vessel of water; go after him into the house into which he goes.

bbe@Luke:22:11 @And say to the master of the house, The Master says, Where is the guest-room, where I may take the Passover with my disciples?

bbe@Luke:22:16 @For I say to you, I will not take it till it is made complete in the kingdom of God

bbe@Luke:22:17 @And he took a cup and, having given praise, he said, Make division of this among yourselves;

bbe@Luke:22:18 @For I say to you, I will not take of the fruit of the vine till the kingdom of God has come.

bbe@Luke:22:19 @And he took bread and, having given praise, he gave it to them when it had been broken, saying, This is my body, which is given for you: do this in memory of me.

bbe@Luke:22:21 @But the hand of him who is false to me is with me at the table.

bbe@Luke:22:22 @For it will be done to the Son of man after the purpose of God, but unhappy is that man by whom he is given up.

bbe@Luke:22:23 @And they were wondering among themselves which of them it was who would do this thing.

bbe@Luke:22:24 @And there was an argument among them about which of them was the greatest.

bbe@Luke:22:25 @And he said, The kings of the Gentiles are lords over them, and those who have authority are given names of honour.

bbe@Luke:22:30 @So that you may take food and drink at my table in my kingdom, and be seated like kings, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

bbe@Luke:22:34 @And he said, I say to you, Peter, before the cock's second cry today, you will say three times that you have no knowledge of me.

bbe@Luke:22:35 @And he said to them, When I sent you out without money or bag or shoes, were you in need of anything? And they said, Nothing.

bbe@Luke:22:39 @And he came out, and went, as his way was, to the Mountain of Olives, and the disciples went with him.

bbe@Luke:22:44 @And being in great trouble of soul, the force of his prayer became stronger, and great drops, like blood, came from him, falling to the earth.

bbe@Luke:22:47 @And while he was saying these words, there came a band of people, and Judas, one of the twelve, was in front of them, and he came near to Jesus to give him a kiss.

bbe@Luke:22:48 @But Jesus said to him, Judas, will you be false to the Son of man with a kiss?

bbe@Luke:22:49 @And when those who were with him saw what was coming, they said, Lord, may we not make use of our swords?

bbe@Luke:22:50 @And one of them gave a blow to the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear.

bbe@Luke:22:52 @And Jesus said to the chief priests and the captains of the Temple and the rulers, who had come against him, Have you come out as against a thief, with swords and sticks?

bbe@Luke:22:53 @When I was in the Temple with you every day, your hands were not stretched out against me: but this is your hour, and the authority of the dark power.

bbe@Luke:22:54 @And they made him a prisoner and took him away to the house of the high priest. But Peter went after them at a distance.

bbe@Luke:22:55 @And a fire was lighted in the middle of the open square, and they were seated together, and Peter was among them.

bbe@Luke:22:56 @And a certain woman-servant, seeing him in the light of the fire, and looking at him with attention, said, This man was with him.

bbe@Luke:22:57 @But he said, Woman, it is not true; I have no knowledge of him.

bbe@Luke:22:58 @And after a little time, another saw him and said, You are one of them; and he said, Man, I am not.

bbe@Luke:22:60 @And Peter said, Man, I have no knowledge of these things of which you are talking. And straight away, while he was saying these words, there came the cry of a cock.

bbe@Luke:22:61 @And the Lord, turning, gave Peter a look. And the words of the Lord came to Peter's mind, how he had said, This night, before the hour of the cock's cry, you will be false to me three times.

bbe@Luke:22:63 @And the men in whose hands Jesus was, made sport of him and gave him blows.

bbe@Luke:22:65 @And they said a number of other evil things against him.

bbe@Luke:22:66 @And when it was day, the rulers of the people came together, with the chief priests and the scribes, and they took him before their Sanhedrin, saying,

bbe@Luke:22:69 @But in the future the Son of man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.

bbe@Luke:22:70 @And they all said, Are you then the Son of God? and he said, You say that I am.

bbe@Luke:22:71 @And they said, What more need have we of witness? we have the very words of his mouth.

bbe@Luke:23:2 @And they made statements against him, saying, This man has to our knowledge been teaching our nation to do wrong, and not to make payment of taxes to Caesar, even saying that he himself is Christ, a king.

bbe@Luke:23:3 @And Pilate said to him, Are you the King of the Jews? And he said in answer, You say so.

bbe@Luke:23:7 @And when he saw that he was under the authority of Herod, he sent him to Herod, who was in Jerusalem himself at that time.

bbe@Luke:23:8 @Now when Herod saw Jesus he was very glad, having for a long time had a desire to see him, for he had had accounts of him, and was hoping to see some wonders done by him.

bbe@Luke:23:9 @And he put a great number of questions to him, but he said nothing.

bbe@Luke:23:11 @And Herod, with the men of his army, put shame on him and made sport of him, and dressing him in shining robes, he sent him back to Pilate.

bbe@Luke:23:15 @And Herod is of the same opinion, for he has sent him back to us; for, you see, he has done nothing for which I might put him to death.

bbe@Luke:23:19 @Now this man was in prison because of an attack against the government in the town, in which there had been loss of life.

bbe@Luke:23:26 @And while they were taking him away, they put their hands on Simon of Cyrene, who was coming from the country, and made him take the cross after Jesus.

bbe@Luke:23:27 @And a great band of people went after him, and of women making signs of grief and weeping for him.

bbe@Luke:23:28 @But Jesus, turning to them, said, Daughters of Jerusalem, let not your weeping be for me, but for yourselves and for your children.

bbe@Luke:23:34 @And Jesus said, Father, let them have forgiveness, for they have no knowledge of what they are doing. And they made division of his clothing among them by the decision of chance.

bbe@Luke:23:35 @And the people were looking on. And the rulers made sport of him, saying, He was a saviour of others; let him do something for himself, if he is the Christ, the man of God's selection.

bbe@Luke:23:36 @And the men of the army made sport of him, coming to him and giving him bitter wine,

bbe@Luke:23:37 @And saying, If you are the King of the Jews, get yourself free.

bbe@Luke:23:38 @And these words were put in writing over him, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

bbe@Luke:23:39 @And one of the evil-doers on the cross, with bitter feeling, said to him, Are you not the Christ? Get yourself and us out of this.

bbe@Luke:23:40 @But the other, protesting, said, Have you no fear of God? for you have a part in the same punishment,

bbe@Luke:23:41 @And with reason; for we have the right reward of our acts, but this man has done nothing wrong.

bbe@Luke:23:45 @The light of the sun went out, and the curtain in the Temple was parted in two.

bbe@Luke:23:48 @And all the people who had come together to see it, when they saw the things which were done, went back again making signs of grief.

bbe@Luke:23:50 @Now there was a man named Joseph, a man of authority and a good and upright man

bbe@Luke:23:51 @(He had not given his approval to their decision or their acts), of Arimathaea, a town of the Jews, who was waiting for the kingdom of God:

bbe@Luke:23:52 @This man went to Pilate and made a request for the body of Jesus.

bbe@Luke:23:54 @Now it was the day of making ready and the Sabbath was coming on.

bbe@Luke:24:1 @But on the first day of the week, at dawn, they came to the place where his body had been put, taking the spices which they had got ready.

bbe@Luke:24:3 @And they went in, but the body of the Lord Jesus was not there.

bbe@Luke:24:7 @The Son of man will be given up into the hands of evil-doers, and be put to death on the cross, and on the third day he will come back to life.

bbe@Luke:24:9 @And they went away from that place and gave an account of all these things to the eleven disciples and all the others.

bbe@Luke:24:10 @Now they were Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary, the mother of James: and the other women with them said these things to the Apostles.

bbe@Luke:24:12 @But Peter got up and went to the place where the body had been put, and looking in he saw nothing but the linen cloths, and he went to his house full of wonder at what had taken place.

bbe@Luke:24:13 @And then, two of them, on that very day, were going to a little town named Emmaus, which was about seven miles from Jerusalem.

bbe@Luke:24:16 @But their eyes were not open that they might have knowledge of him.

bbe@Luke:24:18 @Then stopping, and looking sadly at him, one of them, named Cleopas, said to him, Are you the only man living in Jerusalem who has not had news of the things which have taken place there at this time?

bbe@Luke:24:19 @And he said to them, What things? And they said, The things to do with Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet, great in his acts and his words, before God and all the people:

bbe@Luke:24:21 @But we were hoping that he would be the Saviour of Israel. In addition to all this he has now let three days go by from the time when these things took place;

bbe@Luke:24:23 @And it was not there; then they came saying that they had seen a vision of angels who said that he was living.

bbe@Luke:24:24 @And some of those who were with us went to the place, and saw that it was as the women had said, but him they did not see.

bbe@Luke:24:30 @And when he was seated with them at table, he took the bread, and said words of blessing and, making division of it, he gave it to them.

bbe@Luke:24:31 @And then their eyes were open, and they had knowledge of him, but he went from their view.

bbe@Luke:24:35 @And they gave an account of the things which had taken place on the way, and how, when he gave them bread, they had knowledge of him.

bbe@Luke:24:37 @But they were full of fear, being of the opinion that they were seeing a spirit.

bbe@Luke:24:38 @And he said to them, Why are you troubled, and why are your hearts full of doubt?

bbe@Luke:24:42 @And they gave him a bit of cooked fish.

bbe@Luke:24:44 @And he said to them, These are the words which I said to you when I was still with you, how it was necessary for all the things which are in the writings of Moses and the prophets and in the Psalms about me, to be put into effect.

bbe@Luke:24:47 @And that teaching about a change of heart and forgiveness of sins is to be given to Jerusalem first and to all nations in his name.

bbe@Luke:24:48 @You are witnesses of these things.

bbe@John:1:4 @What came into existence in him was life, and the life was the light of men.

bbe@John:1:10 @He was in the world, the world which came into being through him, but the world had no knowledge of him.

bbe@John:1:12 @To all those who did so take him, however, he gave the right of becoming children of God--that is, to those who had faith in his name:

bbe@John:1:13 @Whose birth was from God and not from blood, or from an impulse of the flesh and man's desire.

bbe@John:1:14 @And so the Word became flesh and took a place among us for a time; and we saw his glory--such glory as is given to an only son by his father--saw it to be true and full of grace.

bbe@John:1:15 @John gave witness about him, crying, This is he of whom I said, He who is coming after me is put over me because he was in existence before me.

bbe@John:1:17 @For the law was given through Moses; grace and the true way of life are ours through Jesus Christ.

bbe@John:1:18 @No man has seen God at any time; the only Son, who is on the breast of the Father, he has made clear what God is.

bbe@John:1:19 @And this is the witness of John when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to him with the question, Who are you?

bbe@John:1:23 @He said, I am the voice of one crying in the waste land, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said Isaiah the prophet.

bbe@John:1:26 @John's answer was: I give baptism with water; but there is one among you of whom you have no knowledge;

bbe@John:1:28 @These things took place at Bethany on the other side of the Jordan, where John was giving baptism.

bbe@John:1:29 @The day after, John sees Jesus coming to him and says, See, here is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!

bbe@John:1:30 @This is he of whom I said, One is coming after me who is put over me because he was in existence before me.

bbe@John:1:31 @I myself had no knowledge of him, but I came giving baptism with water so that he might be seen openly by Israel.

bbe@John:1:34 @This I saw myself and my witness is that he is the Son of God.

bbe@John:1:35 @The day after, John was there again with two of his disciples;

bbe@John:1:36 @And looking at Jesus while he was walking he said, See, there is the Lamb of God!

bbe@John:1:40 @He said to them, Come and see. They went with him then and saw where he was living; and they were with him all that day: it was then about the tenth hour of the day.

bbe@John:1:41 @Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, was one of the two men who, hearing what John said, went after Jesus.

bbe@John:1:43 @And he took him to Jesus. Looking at him fixedly Jesus said, You are Simon, the son of John; your name will be Cephas (which is to say, Peter).

bbe@John:1:46 @Philip came across Nathanael and said to him, We have made a discovery! It is he of whom Moses, in the law, and the prophets were writing, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.

bbe@John:1:47 @Nazareth! said Nathanael, Is it possible for any good to come out of Nazareth? Philip said to him, Come and see.

bbe@John:1:48 @Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him and said of him, See, here is a true son of Israel in whom there is nothing false.

bbe@John:1:49 @Nathanael said to him, Where did you get knowledge of me? In answer Jesus said, Before Philip was talking with you, while you were still under the fig-tree, I saw you.

bbe@John:1:50 @Nathanael said to him, Rabbi, you are the Son of God, you are King of Israel!

bbe@John:1:52 @And he said to him, Truly I say to you all, You will see heaven opening and God's angels going up and coming down on the Son of man.

bbe@John:2:1 @On the third day two people were going to be married at Cana in Galilee. The mother of Jesus was there:

bbe@John:2:3 @When they had not enough wine, the mother of Jesus said to him, They have no wine.

bbe@John:2:6 @Now six pots of stone, every one taking two or three firkins of water, were placed there for the purpose of washing, as is the way of the Jews.

bbe@John:2:7 @Jesus said to the servants, Make the pots full of water. And they made them full to the top.

bbe@John:2:8 @Then he said to them, Now take some, and give it to the master of the feast. So they took it to him.

bbe@John:2:9 @After tasting the water which had now become wine, the master of the feast (having no idea where it came from, though it was clear to the servants who took the water out) sent for the newly-married man,

bbe@John:2:11 @This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee and let his glory be seen openly; and his disciples put their faith in him.

bbe@John:2:13 @The time of the Passover of the Jews was near and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

bbe@John:2:14 @And there in the Temple he saw men trading in oxen and sheep and doves, and he saw the changers of money in their seats:

bbe@John:2:15 @And he made a whip of small cords and put them all out of the Temple, with the sheep and the oxen, sending in all directions the small money of the changers and overturning their tables;

bbe@John:2:17 @And it came to the minds of the disciples that the Writings say, I am on fire with passion for your house.

bbe@John:2:18 @Then the Jews put this question to him: What sign of authority have you to give us, seeing that you do these things?

bbe@John:2:20 @The Jews said, The building of this Temple took forty-six years; and you will put it up in three days!

bbe@John:2:22 @So when he had come back again from the dead, the memory of these words came back to the disciples, and they had faith in the holy Writings and in the word which Jesus had said.

bbe@John:2:23 @Now while he was in Jerusalem at the feast of the Passover, a great number of people came to have faith in his name, after seeing the signs which he did.

bbe@John:2:24 @But Jesus did not have faith in them, because he had knowledge of them all.

bbe@John:2:25 @He had no need for any witness about man; for he himself had knowledge of what was in man.

bbe@John:3:1 @Now there was among the Pharisees a man named Nicodemus, who was one of the rulers of the Jews.

bbe@John:3:3 @Jesus said to him, Truly, I say to you, Without a new birth no man is able to see the kingdom of God.

bbe@John:3:5 @Jesus said in answer, Truly, I say to you, If a man's birth is not from water and from the Spirit, it is not possible for him to go into the kingdom of God.

bbe@John:3:8 @The wind goes where its pleasure takes it, and the sound of it comes to your ears, but you are unable to say where it comes from and where it goes: so it is with everyone whose birth is from the Spirit.

bbe@John:3:10 @And Jesus, answering, said, Are you the teacher of Israel and have no knowledge of these things?

bbe@John:3:11 @Truly, I say to you, We say that of which we have knowledge; we give witness of what we have seen; and you do not take our witness to be true.

bbe@John:3:12 @If you have no belief when my words are about the things of earth, how will you have belief if my words are about the things of heaven?

bbe@John:3:13 @And no one has ever gone up to heaven but he who came down from heaven, the Son of man.

bbe@John:3:14 @As the snake was lifted up by Moses in the waste land, even so it is necessary for the Son of man to be lifted up:

bbe@John:3:17 @God did not send his Son into the world to be judge of the world; he sent him so that the world might have salvation through him.

bbe@John:3:18 @The man who has faith in him does not come up to be judged; but he who has no faith in him has been judged even now, because he has no faith in the name of the only Son of God.

bbe@John:3:21 @But he whose life is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his acts have been done by the help of God.

bbe@John:3:22 @After these things Jesus and his disciples went into the land of Judaea, and there he was with them for some time, giving baptism.

bbe@John:3:26 @And they went to John and said to him, Rabbi, the man who was with you on the other side of the Jordan, the man to whom you gave witness, is now giving baptism, and everyone is going to him.

bbe@John:3:29 @He who has the bride is the husband: but the husband's friend, whose place is by his side and whose ears are open to him, is full of joy because of the husband's voice: such is my joy, and it is complete.

bbe@John:3:31 @He who comes from heaven is greater than all others: he who comes from earth is of the earth, and of the earth are his words: he who comes from heaven is over all.

bbe@John:3:32 @He gives witness of what he has seen and of what has come to his ears; and no man takes his witness as true.

bbe@John:4:1 @Now when it was clear to the Lord that word had come to the ears of the Pharisees that Jesus was making more disciples than John and was giving them baptism

bbe@John:4:3 @He went out of Judaea into Galilee again.

bbe@John:4:5 @So he came to a town of Samaria which was named Sychar, near to the bit of land which Jacob gave to his son Joseph:

bbe@John:4:7 @A woman of Samaria came to get water, and Jesus said to her, Give me some water.

bbe@John:4:9 @The woman of Samaria said to him, Why do you, a Jew, make a request for water to me, a woman of Samaria? She said this because Jews have nothing to do with the people of Samaria.

bbe@John:4:10 @In answer Jesus said, If you had knowledge of what God gives freely and who it is who says to you, Give me water, you would make your prayer to him, and he would give you living water

bbe@John:4:12 @Are you greater than our father Jacob who gave us the fountain and took the water of it himself, with his children and his cattle?

bbe@John:4:13 @Jesus said to her, Everyone who takes this water will be in need of it again:

bbe@John:4:14 @But whoever takes the water I give him will never be in need of drink again; for the water I give him will become in him a fountain of eternal life.

bbe@John:4:15 @The woman said to him, Sir, give me this water, so that I may not be in need again of drink and will not have to come all this way for it.

bbe@John:4:22 @You give worship, but without knowledge of what you are worshipping: we give worship to what we have knowledge of: for salvation comes from the Jews.

bbe@John:4:23 @But the time is coming, and is even now here, when the true worshippers will give worship to the Father in the true way of the spirit, for these are the worshippers desired by the Father.

bbe@John:4:24 @God is Spirit: then let his worshippers give him worship in the true way of the spirit.

bbe@John:4:27 @At that point the disciples came back, and they were surprised to see him talking to a woman; but not one of them said to him, What is your purpose? or, Why are you talking to her?

bbe@John:4:29 @Come and see a man who has been talking to me of everything I ever did! Is it possible that this is the Christ?

bbe@John:4:30 @So they went out of the town and came to him.

bbe@John:4:32 @But he said to them, I have food of which you have no knowledge.

bbe@John:4:34 @Jesus said, My food is to do the pleasure of him who sent me and to make his work complete.

bbe@John:4:35 @You would say, Four months from now is the time of the grain-cutting. Take a look, I say to you, at the fields; they are even now white for cutting.

bbe@John:4:39 @Now a number of the people of that town had faith in him because of the woman's witness: He has been talking to me of everything I ever did.

bbe@John:4:41 @And a great number more of them came to have faith in him because of what he himself said.

bbe@John:4:42 @And they said to the woman, Now we have faith, but not because of your story: we ourselves have given ear to his words, and we are certain that he is truly the Saviour of the world.

bbe@John:4:44 @For Jesus himself said that a prophet has no honour in the country of his birth.

bbe@John:4:45 @So when he came into Galilee, the Galilaeans took him to their hearts because of the things which they had seen him do in Jerusalem at the feast--they themselves having been there at the feast.

bbe@John:4:46 @So he came to Cana in Galilee, where he had made the water wine. And there was a certain man of high position whose son was ill at Capernaum.

bbe@John:4:54 @Now this is the second sign which Jesus did after he had come out of Judaea into Galilee.

bbe@John:5:1 @After these things there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

bbe@John:5:3 @In these doorways there were a great number of people with different diseases: some unable to see, some without the power of walking, some with wasted bodies.

bbe@John:5:13 @Now he who had been made well had no knowledge who it was, Jesus having gone away because of the number of people who were in that place.

bbe@John:5:20 @For the Father has love for the Son and lets him see everything which he does: and he will let him see greater works than these so that you may be full of wonder.

bbe@John:5:22 @The Father is not the judge of men, but he has given all decisions into the hands of the Son;

bbe@John:5:25 @Truly I say to you, The time is coming, it has even now come, when the voice of the Son of God will come to the ears of the dead, and those hearing it will have life.

bbe@John:5:27 @And he has given him authority to be judge because he is the Son of man.

bbe@John:5:28 @Do not be surprised at this: for the time is coming when his voice will come to all who are in the place of the dead,

bbe@John:5:30 @Of myself I am unable to do anything: as the voice comes to me so I give a decision: and my decision is right because I have no desire to do what is pleasing to myself, but only what is pleasing to him who sent me.

bbe@John:5:34 @But I have no need of a man's witness: I only say these things so that you may have salvation.

bbe@John:5:36 @But the witness which I have is greater than that of John: the work which the Father has given me to do, the very work which I am now doing, is a witness that the Father has sent me.

bbe@John:5:37 @And the Father himself who sent me has given witness about me. Not one of you has ever given ear to his voice; his form you have not seen.

bbe@John:5:42 @But I have knowledge of you that you have no love for God in your hearts.

bbe@John:5:45 @Put out of your minds the thought that I will say things against you to the Father: the one who says things against you is Moses, on whom you put your hopes.

bbe@John:6:1 @After these things Jesus went away to the other side of the sea of Galilee--that is, the sea of Tiberias.

bbe@John:6:2 @And a great number of people went after him because they saw the signs which he did on those who were ill.

bbe@John:6:4 @Now the Passover, a feast of the Jews, was near.

bbe@John:6:5 @Lifting up his eyes, Jesus saw a great number of people coming to where he was, and he said to Philip, Where may we get bread for all these people?

bbe@John:6:7 @Philip made answer, Bread to the value of two hundred pence would not be enough even to give everyone a little.

bbe@John:6:8 @One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, said to Jesus,

bbe@John:6:11 @Then Jesus took the cakes and having given praise to God, he gave them to the people who were seated, and the fishes in the same way, as much as they had need of.

bbe@John:6:13 @So they took them up: twelve baskets full of broken bits of the five cakes which were over after the people had had enough.

bbe@John:6:17 @And they took a boat and went across the sea in the direction of Capernaum. By then it was dark and still Jesus had not come to them.

bbe@John:6:18 @The sea was getting rough because of a strong wind which was blowing.

bbe@John:6:22 @The day after, the people who were on the other side of the sea saw that only one small boat had been there, that Jesus had not gone in that boat with the disciples, but that the disciples had gone away by themselves.

bbe@John:6:25 @And when they came across him on the other side of the sea they said, Rabbi, when did you come here?

bbe@John:6:27 @Let your work not be for the food which comes to an end, but for the food which goes on for eternal life, which the Son of man will give to you, for on him has God the Father put his mark.

bbe@John:6:28 @Then they said to him, How may we do the works of God?

bbe@John:6:29 @Jesus, answering, said to them, This is to do the work of God: to have faith in him whom God has sent.

bbe@John:6:33 @The bread of God is the bread which comes down out of heaven and gives life to the world.

bbe@John:6:35 @And this was the answer of Jesus: I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never be in need of food, and he who has faith in me will never be in need of drink.

bbe@John:6:38 @For I have come down from heaven, not to do my pleasure, but the pleasure of him who sent me.

bbe@John:6:39 @And this is the pleasure of him who sent me, that I am not to let out of my hands anything which he has given me, but I am to give it new life on the last day.

bbe@John:6:41 @Now the Jews said bitter things about Jesus because of his words, I am the bread which came down from heaven.

bbe@John:6:42 @And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we have seen? How is it then that he now says, I have come down from heaven?

bbe@John:6:45 @The writings of the prophets say, And they will all have teaching from God. Everyone whose ears have been open to the teaching of the Father comes to me.

bbe@John:6:48 @I am the bread of life.

bbe@John:6:51 @I am the living bread which has come from heaven: if any man takes this bread for food he will have life for ever: and more than this, the bread which I will give is my flesh which I will give for the life of the world.

bbe@John:6:53 @Then Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you, If you do not take the flesh of the Son of man for food, and if you do not take his blood for drink, you have no life in you.

bbe@John:6:57 @As the living Father has sent me, and I have life because of the Father, even so he who takes me for his food will have life because of me.

bbe@John:6:58 @This is the bread which has come down from heaven. It is not like the food which your fathers had: they took of the manna, and are dead; but he who takes this bread for food will have life for ever.

bbe@John:6:60 @Then, hearing this, a number of his disciples said, This is a hard saying; who is able to take in such teaching?

bbe@John:6:62 @What then will you say if you see the Son of man going up to where he was before?

bbe@John:6:63 @The spirit is the life giver; the flesh is of no value: the words which I have said to you are spirit and they are life.

bbe@John:6:64 @But still some of you have no faith. For it was clear to Jesus from the first who they were who had no faith, and who it was who would be false to him.

bbe@John:6:66 @Because of what he said, a number of the disciples went back and would no longer go with him.

bbe@John:6:68 @Then Simon Peter gave this answer: Lord, to whom are we to go? you have the words of eternal life;

bbe@John:6:69 @And we have faith and are certain that you are the Holy One of God.

bbe@John:6:70 @Then Jesus said, Did I not make a selection of you, the twelve, and one of you is a son of the Evil One?

bbe@John:6:71 @He was talking of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. It was he who was to be false to Jesus--one of the twelve.

bbe@John:7:2 @But the feast of the Jews, the feast of tents, was near.

bbe@John:7:4 @Because no man does things secretly if he has a desire that men may have knowledge of him. If you do these things, let yourself be seen by all men.

bbe@John:7:12 @And there was much discussion about him among the mass of the people. Some said, He is a good man; but others said, No, he is giving people false ideas.

bbe@John:7:13 @But no man said anything about him openly for fear of the Jews.

bbe@John:7:14 @Now in the middle of the feast Jesus went up to the Temple and was teaching.

bbe@John:7:15 @Then the Jews were surprised and said, How has this man got knowledge of books? He has never been to school.

bbe@John:7:17 @If any man is ready to do God's pleasure he will have knowledge of the teaching and of where it comes from--from God or from myself.

bbe@John:7:18 @The man whose words come from himself is looking for glory for himself, but he who is looking for the glory of him who sent him--that man is true and there is no evil in him.

bbe@John:7:19 @Did not Moses give you the law? Even so, not one of you keeps the law. Why have you a desire to put me to death?

bbe@John:7:21 @This was the answer of Jesus: I have done one work and you are all surprised at it.

bbe@John:7:23 @If a child is given circumcision on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses may not be broken, why are you angry with me because I made a man completely well on the Sabbath?

bbe@John:7:25 @Then some of the people of Jerusalem said, Is not this the man whose death is desired?

bbe@John:7:28 @Then, when he was teaching in the Temple, Jesus said with a loud voice, You have knowledge of me and you have knowledge of where I come from; and I have not come of myself; but there is One who has sent me; he is true, but you have no knowledge of him.

bbe@John:7:29 @I have knowledge of him because I came from him and he sent me.

bbe@John:7:31 @And numbers of the people had belief in him, and they said, When the Christ comes will he do more signs than this man has done?

bbe@John:7:32 @This discussion of the people came to the ears of the Pharisees; and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent servants to take him.

bbe@John:7:35 @So the Jews said among themselves, To what place is he going where we will not see him? will he go to the Jews living among the Greeks and become the teacher of the Greeks?

bbe@John:7:36 @What is this saying of his, You will be looking for me and will not see me, and where I am you may not come?

bbe@John:7:37 @On the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus got up and said in a loud voice, If any man is in need of drink let him come to me and I will give it to him.

bbe@John:7:38 @He who has faith in me, out of his body, as the Writings have said, will come rivers of living water.

bbe@John:7:39 @This he said of the Spirit which would be given to those who had faith in him: the Spirit had not been given then, because the glory of Jesus was still to come.

bbe@John:7:40 @When these words came to their ears, some of the people said, This is certainly the prophet.

bbe@John:7:42 @Do not the Writings say that the Christ comes of the seed of David and from Beth-lehem, the little town where David was?

bbe@John:7:43 @So there was a division among the people because of him.

bbe@John:7:44 @And some of them had a desire to take him; but no man put hands on him.

bbe@John:7:48 @Have any of the rulers belief in him, or any one of the Pharisees?

bbe@John:7:49 @But these people who have no knowledge of the law are cursed.

bbe@John:7:50 @Nicodemus--he who had come to Jesus before, being himself one of them--said to them,

bbe@John:7:51 @Is a man judged by our law before it has given him a hearing and has knowledge of what he has done?

bbe@John:7:52 @This was their answer: And do you come from Galilee? Make search and you will see that no prophet comes out of Galilee.

bbe@John:8:1 @But Jesus went to the Mountain of Olives.

bbe@John:8:3 @Now the scribes and Pharisees came, with a woman who had been taken in the act of sinning against the married relation;

bbe@John:8:4 @And putting her forward, they said to him, Master, this woman has been taken in the very act of sinning against the married relation.

bbe@John:8:9 @And when his words came to their ears, they went out one by one, starting with the oldest even to the last, because they were conscious of what was in their hearts: and Jesus was there by himself with the woman before him.

bbe@John:8:12 @Then again Jesus said to them, I am the light of the world; he who comes with me will not be walking in the dark but will have the light of life.

bbe@John:8:14 @Jesus said in answer, Even if I give witness about myself, my witness is true, because I have knowledge of where I came from and where I am going; but you have no knowledge of where I come from or of where I am going.

bbe@John:8:17 @Even in your law it is said that the witness of two men is true.

bbe@John:8:19 @Then they said to him, Where is your Father? Jesus said in answer, You have no knowledge of me or of my Father: if you had knowledge of me you would have knowledge of my Father.

bbe@John:8:20 @Jesus said these words in the place where the offerings were stored, while he was teaching in the Temple: but no man took him because his time was still to come.

bbe@John:8:23 @And he said to them, You are of the earth; I am from heaven: you are of this world; I am not of this world.

bbe@John:8:28 @So Jesus said, When the Son of man has been lifted up by you, then it will be clear to you who I am, and that I do nothing of myself, but say as the Father gave me teaching.

bbe@John:8:32 @And you will have knowledge of what is true, and that will make you free.

bbe@John:8:34 @And this was the answer Jesus gave them: Truly I say to you, Everyone who does evil is the servant of sin.

bbe@John:8:41 @You are doing the works of your father. They said to him, We are true sons of Abraham; we have one Father, who is God.

bbe@John:8:42 @Jesus said to them, If God was your Father you would have love for me, because it was from God I came and am here. I did not come of myself, but he sent me.

bbe@John:8:44 @You are the children of your father the Evil One and it is your pleasure to do his desires. From the first he was a taker of life; and he did not go in the true way because there is no true thing in him. When he says what is false, it is natural to him, for he is false and the father of what is false.

bbe@John:8:46 @Which of you is able truly to say that I am a sinner? If I say what is true, why have you no belief in me?

bbe@John:8:47 @He who is a child of God gives ear to the words of God: your ears are not open to them because you are not from God.

bbe@John:8:48 @The Jews said to him in answer, Are we not right in saying that you are of Samaria and have an evil spirit?

bbe@John:8:49 @And this was the answer of Jesus: I have not an evil spirit; but I give honour to my Father and you do not give honour to me.

bbe@John:8:50 @I, however, am not in search of glory for myself: there is One who is searching for it and he is judge.

bbe@John:8:54 @Jesus said in answer, If I take glory for myself, my glory is nothing: it is my Father who gives me glory, of whom you say that he is your God.

bbe@John:8:55 @You have no knowledge of him, but I have knowledge of him; and if I said I have no knowledge of him I would be talking falsely like you: but I have full knowledge of him, and I keep his word.

bbe@John:8:56 @Your father Abraham was full of joy at the hope of seeing my day: he saw it and was glad.

bbe@John:8:59 @So they took up stones to send at him: but Jesus got secretly out of their way and went out of the Temple.

bbe@John:9:2 @And his disciples put a question to him, saying, Master, was it because of this man's sin, or the sin of his father and mother, that he has been blind from birth?

bbe@John:9:3 @Jesus said in answer, It was not because of his sin, or because of his father's or mother's; it was so that the works of God might be seen openly in him.

bbe@John:9:4 @While it is day we have to do the works of him who sent me: the night comes when no work may be done.

bbe@John:9:5 @As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

bbe@John:9:7 @And said to him, Go and make yourself clean in the bath of Siloam (the sense of the name is, Sent). So he went away and, after washing, came back able to see.

bbe@John:9:16 @Then some of the Pharisees said, That man has not come from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath. Others said, How is it possible for a sinner to do such signs? So there was a division among them.

bbe@John:9:18 @Now the Jews had no belief in the statement that he had been blind and was now able to see, till they sent for the father and mother of the man whose eyes had been made open,

bbe@John:9:19 @And put the question to them, saying, Is this your son, of whom you say that he was blind at birth? how is it then that he is now able to see?

bbe@John:9:22 @They said this because of their fear of the Jews: for the Jews had come to an agreement that if any man said that Jesus was the Christ he would be put out of the Synagogue.

bbe@John:9:26 @Then they said to him, What did he do to you? how did he give you the use of your eyes?

bbe@John:9:28 @And they were angry with him and said, You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.

bbe@John:9:30 @The man said in answer, Why, here is a strange thing! You have no knowledge where he comes from though he gave me the use of my eyes.

bbe@John:9:31 @We have knowledge that God does not give ear to sinners, but if any man is a worshipper of God and does his pleasure, to him God's ears are open.

bbe@John:9:32 @In all the years nobody has ever before seen the eyes of a man blind from birth made open.

bbe@John:9:34 @Their answer was: You came to birth through sin; do you make yourself our teacher? And they put him out of the Synagogue.

bbe@John:9:35 @It came to the ears of Jesus that they had put him out, and meeting him he said, Have you faith in the Son of man?

bbe@John:9:40 @These words came to the ears of the Pharisees who were with him and they said to him, Are we, then, blind?

bbe@John:10:2 @He who goes in by the door is the keeper of the sheep.

bbe@John:10:3 @The porter lets him in; and the sheep give ear to his voice; he says over the names of the sheep, and takes them out.

bbe@John:10:4 @When he has got them all out, he goes before them, and the sheep go after him, for they have knowledge of his voice.

bbe@John:10:6 @In this Jesus was teaching them in the form of a story: but what he said was not clear to them.

bbe@John:10:7 @So Jesus said again, Truly I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.

bbe@John:10:11 @I am the good keeper of sheep: the good keeper gives his life for the sheep.

bbe@John:10:12 @He who is a servant, and not the keeper or the owner of the sheep, sees the wolf coming and goes in flight, away from the sheep; and the wolf comes down on them and sends them in all directions:

bbe@John:10:14 @I am the good keeper; I have knowledge of my sheep, and they have knowledge of me,

bbe@John:10:15 @Even as the Father has knowledge of me and I of the Father; and I am giving my life for the sheep.

bbe@John:10:16 @And I have other sheep which are not of this field: I will be their guide in the same way, and they will give ear to my voice, so there will be one flock and one keeper.

bbe@John:10:18 @No one takes it away from me; I give it up of myself. I have power to give it up, and I have power to take it again. These orders I have from my Father.

bbe@John:10:19 @There was a division again among the Jews because of these words.

bbe@John:10:20 @And a number of them said, He has an evil spirit and is out of his mind; why do you give ear to him?

bbe@John:10:21 @Others said, These are not the words of one who has an evil spirit. Is it possible for an evil spirit to make blind people see?

bbe@John:10:22 @Then came the feast of the opening of the Temple in Jerusalem: it was winter;

bbe@John:10:26 @But you have no belief because you are not of my sheep.

bbe@John:10:27 @My sheep give ear to my voice, and I have knowledge of them, and they come after me:

bbe@John:10:28 @And I give them eternal life; they will never come to destruction, and no one will ever take them out of my hand.

bbe@John:10:29 @That which my Father has given to me has more value than all; and no one is able to take anything out of the Father's hand.

bbe@John:10:32 @Jesus said to them in answer, I have let you see a number of good works from the Father; for which of those works are you stoning me?

bbe@John:10:35 @If he said they were gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Writings may not be broken),

bbe@John:10:36 @Do you say of him whom the Father made holy and sent into the world, Your words are evil; because I said, I am God's Son?

bbe@John:10:37 @If I am not doing the works of my Father, do not have belief in me;

bbe@John:10:40 @And he went again to the other side of the Jordan, to the place where John first gave baptism; and he was there for a time.

bbe@John:10:41 @And a great number of people came to him, saying, John did no sign: but everything John said of this man was true.

bbe@John:11:1 @Now a certain man named Lazarus was ill; he was of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.

bbe@John:11:4 @When this came to his ears, Jesus said, The end of this disease is not death, but the glory of God, so that the Son of God may have glory because of it.

bbe@John:11:9 @Then Jesus said in answer, Are there not twelve hours in the day? A man may go about in the day without falling, because he sees the light of this world.

bbe@John:11:11 @These things said he: and after that he said to them, Lazarus our friend is at rest; but I go so that I may make him come out of his sleep

bbe@John:11:13 @Jesus, however, was talking of his death: but they had the idea that he was talking about taking rest in sleep.

bbe@John:11:15 @And because of you I am glad I was not there, so that you may have faith; but let us go to him.

bbe@John:11:19 @And a number of Jews had come to Martha and Mary to give them comfort about their brother.

bbe@John:11:27 @She said to him, Yes, Lord: my faith is that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world.

bbe@John:11:31 @Then the Jews who were with her in the house, comforting her, when they saw Mary get up quickly and go out, went after her in the belief that she was going to the place of the dead and would be weeping there.

bbe@John:11:37 @But some of them said, This man, who made open the eyes of the blind man, was he not able to keep his friend from death?

bbe@John:11:38 @So Jesus, deeply troubled in heart, came to the place of the dead. It was a hole in the rock, and a stone was over the opening.

bbe@John:11:39 @Jesus said, Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said, Lord, by this time the body will be smelling, for he has been dead four days.

bbe@John:11:40 @Jesus said to her, Did I not say to you that if you had faith you would see the glory of God?

bbe@John:11:42 @I was certain that your ears are at all times open to me, but I said it because of these who are here, so that they may see that you sent me.

bbe@John:11:45 @Then a number of the Jews who had come to Mary and had seen the things which Jesus did had belief in him.

bbe@John:11:46 @But some of them went to the Pharisees with the news of what Jesus had done.

bbe@John:11:47 @Then the high priests and the Pharisees had a meeting and said, What are we doing? This man is doing a number of signs.

bbe@John:11:49 @But one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, You have no knowledge of anything;

bbe@John:11:51 @He did not say this of himself, but being the high priest that year he said, as a prophet, that Jesus would be put to death for the nation;

bbe@John:11:52 @And not for that nation only, but for the purpose of uniting in one body the children of God all over the world.

bbe@John:11:55 @Now the Passover of the Jews was near, and numbers of people went up from the country to Jerusalem to make themselves clean before the Passover.

bbe@John:12:3 @Then Mary, taking a pound of perfumed oil of great value, put it on the feet of Jesus and made them dry with her hair: and the house became full of the smell of the perfume.

bbe@John:12:4 @But one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot (who was to give him up), said,

bbe@John:12:7 @Then Jesus said, Let her be. Let her keep what she has for the day of my death.

bbe@John:12:9 @Then a great number of the Jews had news that he was there: and they came, not only because of Jesus, but so that they might see Lazarus who had been dead and to whom he had given life.

bbe@John:12:10 @Now there was talk among the chief priests of putting Lazarus to death;

bbe@John:12:11 @For because of him a great number of the Jews went away and had belief in Jesus.

bbe@John:12:12 @The day after, a great number of people who were there for the feast, when they had the news that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

bbe@John:12:13 @Took branches of palm-trees and went out to him, crying, A blessing on him who comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel!

bbe@John:12:15 @Have no fear, daughter of Zion: see your King is coming, seated on a young ass.

bbe@John:12:17 @Now the people who were with him when his voice came to Lazarus in the place of the dead, and gave him life again, had been talking about it.

bbe@John:12:21 @They came to Philip, who was of Beth-saida in Galilee, and made a request, saying, Sir, we have a desire to see Jesus.

bbe@John:12:22 @Philip went and gave word of it to Andrew; and Andrew went with Philip to Jesus.

bbe@John:12:23 @And Jesus said to them in answer, The hour of the glory of the Son of man has come.

bbe@John:12:24 @Truly I say to you, If a seed of grain does not go into the earth and come to an end, it is still a seed and no more; but through its death it gives much fruit.

bbe@John:12:28 @Father, give glory to your name. Then there came a voice out of heaven, saying, I have given it glory, and I will give it glory again.

bbe@John:12:29 @Hearing the sound, a number of people who were there said that it was thunder: others said, An angel was talking to him.

bbe@John:12:31 @Now is this world to be judged: now will the ruler of this world be sent out.

bbe@John:12:33 @(This he said, pointing to the sort of death he would have.)

bbe@John:12:34 @Then the people in answer said to him, The law says that the Christ will have life without end: how say you then that it is necessary for the Son of man to be lifted up? Who is this Son of man?

bbe@John:12:35 @Jesus said to them, For a little time longer the light will be among you; while you have the light go on walking in it, so that the dark may not overtake you: one walking in the dark has no knowledge of where he is going.

bbe@John:12:36 @In so far as you have the light, put your faith in the light so that you may become sons of light. With these words Jesus went away and for a time was not seen again by them.

bbe@John:12:37 @But though he had done such a number of signs before them, they still had no belief in him:

bbe@John:12:38 @So that the words of the prophet Isaiah might come true, when he said, Lord, who has any belief in our preaching? and the arm of the Lord, to whom has it been unveiled?

bbe@John:12:42 @However, a number even of the rulers had belief in him, but because of the Pharisees they did not say so openly for fear that they might be shut out from the Synagogue:

bbe@John:12:43 @For the praise of men was dearer to them than the approval of God.

bbe@John:12:47 @And if any man gives ear to my words and does not keep them, I am not his judge: I did not come to be judge of the world but to give salvation to the world.

bbe@John:13:1 @Now before the feast of the Passover, it was clear to Jesus that the time had come for him to go away from this world to the Father. Having once had love for those in the world who were his, his love for them went on to the end.

bbe@John:13:2 @So while a meal was going on, the Evil One having now put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to be false to him,

bbe@John:13:4 @Got up from table, put off his robe and took a cloth and put it round him.

bbe@John:13:5 @Then he put water into a basin and was washing the feet of the disciples and drying them with the cloth which was round him.

bbe@John:13:10 @Jesus said to him, He who is bathed has need only to have his feet washed and then he is clean all over: and you, my disciples, are clean, but not all of you.

bbe@John:13:13 @You give me the name of Master and Lord: and you are right; that is what I am.

bbe@John:13:18 @I am not talking of you all: I have knowledge of my true disciples, but things are as they are, so that the Writings may come true, The foot of him who takes bread with me is lifted up against me.

bbe@John:13:19 @From this time forward, I give you knowledge of things before they come about, so that when they come about you may have belief that I am he.

bbe@John:13:21 @When Jesus had said this he was troubled in spirit, and gave witness, saying, Truly I say to you, that one of you will be false to me.

bbe@John:13:22 @Then the eyes of the disciples were turned on one another, in doubt as to whom he had in mind.

bbe@John:13:23 @There was at table one of his disciples, the one dear to Jesus, resting his head on Jesus' breast.

bbe@John:13:26 @This was the answer Jesus gave: It is the one to whom I will give this bit of bread after I have put it in the vessel. Then he took the bit of bread, put it into the vessel, and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.

bbe@John:13:29 @Some were of the opinion that because Judas kept the money-bag Jesus said to him, Get the things we have need of for the feast; or, that he was to give something to the poor.

bbe@John:13:30 @So Judas, having taken the bit of bread, straight away went out: and it was night.

bbe@John:13:31 @Then when he had gone out, Jesus said, Now is glory given to the Son of man, and God is given glory in him.

bbe@John:13:38 @Jesus said in answer, Will you give up your life for me? Truly I say to you, Before the cry of the cock you will have said three times that you are not my disciple.

bbe@John:14:4 @And you all have knowledge of where I am going, and of the way to it.

bbe@John:14:5 @Thomas said, Lord, we have no knowledge of where you are going; how may we have knowledge of the way?

bbe@John:14:7 @If you had knowledge of me, you would have knowledge of my Father: you have knowledge of him now and have seen him.

bbe@John:14:8 @Philip said to him, Lord, let us see the Father, and we have need of nothing more.

bbe@John:14:9 @Jesus said to him, Philip, have I been with you all this time, and still you have no knowledge of me? He who has seen me has seen the Father. Why do you say, Let us see the Father?

bbe@John:14:11 @Have faith that I am in the Father and that the Father is in me: at least, have faith in me because of what I do.

bbe@John:14:17 @Even the Spirit of true knowledge

bbe@John:14:26 @But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will be your teacher in all things and will put you in mind of everything I have said to you.

bbe@John:14:29 @And now I have given you word of it before it comes, so that, when it comes, you may have faith.

bbe@John:14:30 @After this I will not say much to you, because the ruler of this world comes: and he has no power over me;

bbe@John:15:4 @Be in me at all times as I am in you. As the branch is not able to give fruit of itself, if it is not still on the vine, so you are not able to do so if you are not in me.

bbe@John:15:6 @If a man does not keep himself in me, he becomes dead and is cut off like a dry branch; such branches are taken up and put in the fire and burned.

bbe@John:15:15 @No longer do I give you the name of servants; because a servant is without knowledge of what his master is doing: I give you the name of friends, because I have given you knowledge of all the things which my Father has said to me.

bbe@John:15:16 @You did not take me for yourselves, but I took you for myself; and I gave you the work of going about and producing fruit which will be for ever; so that whatever request you make to the Father in my name he may give it to you.

bbe@John:15:19 @If you were of the world, you would be loved by the world: but because you are not of the world, but I have taken you out of the world, you are hated by the world

bbe@John:15:21 @They will do all this to you because of my name--because they have no knowledge of him who sent me.

bbe@John:15:26 @When the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father even the Spirit of true knowledge who comes from the Father--he will give witness about me;

bbe@John:16:2 @They will put you out of the Synagogues: yes, the time is coming when whoever puts you to death will have the belief that he is doing God's pleasure.

bbe@John:16:3 @They will do these things to you because they have not had knowledge of the Father or of me.

bbe@John:16:5 @But now I am going to him who sent me; and not one of you says to me, Where are you going?

bbe@John:16:6 @But your hearts are full of sorrow because I have said these things.

bbe@John:16:8 @And he, when he comes, will make the world conscious of sin, and of righteousness, and of being judged:

bbe@John:16:9 @Of sin, because they have not faith in me;

bbe@John:16:10 @Of righteousness, because I go to the Father and you will see me no more;

bbe@John:16:11 @Of being judged, because the ruler of this world has been judged.

bbe@John:16:13 @However, when he, the Spirit of true knowledge, has come, he will be your guide into all true knowledge: for his words will not come from himself, but whatever has come to his hearing, that he will say: and he will make clear to you the things to come.

bbe@John:16:14 @He will give me glory, because he will take of what is mine, and make it clear to you.

bbe@John:16:15 @Everything which the Father has is mine: that is why I say, He will take of what is mine and will make it clear to you.

bbe@John:16:17 @So some of the disciples said one to another, What is this he is saying, After a little time, you will see me no longer; and then again, after a little time, you will see me? and, I am going to the Father?

bbe@John:16:21 @When a woman is about to give birth she has sorrow, because her hour is come; but when she has given birth to the child, the pain is put out of her mind by the joy that a man has come into the world

bbe@John:16:24 @Up to now you have made no request in my name: do so, and it will be answered, so that your hearts may be full of joy.

bbe@John:16:25 @All this I have said to you in veiled language: but the time is coming when I will no longer say things in veiled language but will give you knowledge of the Father clearly.

bbe@John:16:30 @Now we are certain that you have knowledge of all things and have no need for anyone to put questions to you: through this we have faith that you came from God.

bbe@John:17:3 @And this is eternal life: to have knowledge of you, the only true God, and of him whom you have sent, even Jesus Christ.

bbe@John:17:6 @I have given knowledge of your name to the men whom you gave me out of the world: yours they were, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your words.

bbe@John:17:12 @While I was with them I kept them safe in your name which you have given to me: I took care of them and not one of them has come to destruction, but only the son of destruction, so that the Writings might come true.

bbe@John:17:14 @I have given your word to them; and they are hated by the world, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

bbe@John:17:15 @My prayer is not that you will take them out of the world, but that you will keep them from the Evil One.

bbe@John:17:16 @They are not of the world any more than I am of the world.

bbe@John:17:25 @Father of righteousness, I have knowledge of you, though the world has not; and to these it is clear that you sent me;

bbe@John:17:26 @And I have given to them knowledge of your name, and will give it, so that the love which you have for me may be in them and I in them.

bbe@John:18:2 @And Judas, who was false to him, had knowledge of the place because Jesus went there frequently with his disciples.

bbe@John:18:3 @So Judas, getting a band of armed men and police from the chief priests and Pharisees, went there with lights and with arms.

bbe@John:18:4 @Then Jesus, having knowledge of everything which was coming on him, went forward and said to them, Who are you looking for?

bbe@John:18:10 @Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, took it out and gave the high priest's servant a blow, cutting off his right ear

bbe@John:18:13 @They took him first to Annas, because Annas was the father-in-law of Caiaphas who was the high priest that year.

bbe@John:18:15 @And Simon Peter went after Jesus with another disciple. Now that disciple was a friend of the high priest and he went in with Jesus into the house of the high priest;

bbe@John:18:16 @But Peter was kept outside at the door. Then this other disciple, who was a friend of the high priest, came out and had a word with the girl who kept the door, and took Peter in.

bbe@John:18:17 @Then the girl who was the door-keeper said to Peter, Are you not one of this man's disciples? In answer he said, I am not.

bbe@John:18:18 @Now the servants and the police had made a fire of coals because it was cold; they were warming themselves in front of it and Peter was there with them, warming himself.

bbe@John:18:21 @Why are you questioning me? put questions to my hearers about what I have said to them: they have knowledge of what I said.

bbe@John:18:22 @When he said this, one of the police by his side gave him a blow with his open hand, saying, Do you give such an answer to the high priest?

bbe@John:18:25 @But Simon Peter was still there warming himself by the fire. They said to him, Are you not one of his disciples? He said, No, I am not.

bbe@John:18:26 @One of the servants of the high priest, a relation of him whose ear had been cut off by Peter, said, Did I not see you with him in the garden?

bbe@John:18:28 @So they took Jesus from the house of Caiaphas to the Praetorium. It was early. They themselves did not go into the Praetorium, so that they might not become unclean, but might take the Passover.

bbe@John:18:32 @(That the word of Jesus might come true, pointing to the sort of death he would have.)

bbe@John:18:33 @Then Pilate went back into the Praetorium and sent for Jesus and said to him, Are you the King of the Jews?

bbe@John:18:34 @Jesus made answer, Do you say this of yourself, or did others say it about me?

bbe@John:18:36 @Jesus said in answer, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom was of this world, my disciples would have made a good fight to keep me out of the hands of the Jews: but my kingdom is not here.

bbe@John:18:37 @Then Pilate said to him, Are you then a king? Jesus made answer, You say that I am a king. For this purpose was I given birth, and for this purpose I came into the world, that I might give witness to what is true. Every lover of what is true gives ear to my voice.

bbe@John:18:39 @But every year you make a request to me to let a prisoner go free at the Passover. Is it your desire that I let the King of the Jews go free?

bbe@John:19:2 @And the men of the army made a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and they put a purple robe on him.

bbe@John:19:3 @And they kept coming and saying, Long life to the King of the Jews! And they gave him blows with their hands.

bbe@John:19:5 @Then Jesus came out with the crown of thorns and the purple robe. And Pilate said to them, Here is the man!

bbe@John:19:7 @And the Jews made answer, We have a law, and by that law it is right for him to be put to death because he said he was the Son of God.

bbe@John:19:19 @And Pilate put on the cross a statement in writing. The writing was: JESUS THE NAZARENE, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

bbe@John:19:20 @The writing was seen by a number of the Jews, for the place where Jesus was put to death on the cross was near the town; and the writing was in Hebrew and Latin and Greek.

bbe@John:19:21 @Then the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, Do not put, The King of the Jews, but, He said, I am the King of the Jews.

bbe@John:19:23 @And when Jesus was nailed to the cross, the men of the army took his clothing, and made a division of it into four parts, to every man a part, and they took his coat: now the coat was without a join, made out of one bit of cloth.

bbe@John:19:24 @So they said among themselves, Let this not be cut up, but let us put it to the decision of chance and see who gets it. (They did this so that the Writings might come true, which say, They made a distribution of my clothing among them, and my coat they put to the decision of chance.) This was what the men of the army did.

bbe@John:19:25 @Now by the side of the cross of Jesus were his mother, and his mother's sister Mary, the wife of Cleopas, and Mary Magdalene.

bbe@John:19:29 @Now there was a vessel ready, full of bitter wine, and they put a sponge full of it on a stick and put it to his mouth.

bbe@John:19:31 @Now it was the day of getting ready for the Passover, and so that the bodies might not be on the cross on the Sabbath (because the day of that Sabbath was a great day), the Jews made a request to Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

bbe@John:19:32 @So the men of the army came, and the legs of the first were broken and then of the other who was put to death on the cross with Jesus:

bbe@John:19:34 @But one of the men made a wound in his side with a spear, and straight away there came out blood and water.

bbe@John:19:36 @These things came about so that the Writings might be true, No bone of his body will be broken.

bbe@John:19:38 @After these things, Joseph of Arimathaea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, made a request to Pilate to let him take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate said he might do so. So he went and took away his body.

bbe@John:19:39 @And Nicodemus came (he who had first come to Jesus by night) with a roll of myrrh and aloes mixed, about a hundred pounds.

bbe@John:19:40 @Then they took the body of Jesus, folding linen about it with the spices, as is the way of the Jews when they put the dead to rest.

bbe@John:19:42 @So they put Jesus there, because it was the Jews' day of getting ready for the Passover, and the place was near.

bbe@John:20:1 @Now on the first day of the week, very early, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the place and saw that the stone had been taken away from it.

bbe@John:20:2 @Then she went running to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple who was loved by Jesus, and said to them, They have taken away the Lord out of the place of the dead and we have no knowledge where they have put him.

bbe@John:20:3 @So Peter and the other disciple went out to the place of the dead.

bbe@John:20:4 @They went running together, and the other disciple got in front of Peter and came first to the hole in the rock;

bbe@John:20:12 @She saw two angels in white seated where the body of Jesus had been, one at the head and the other at the feet

bbe@John:20:19 @At evening on that day, the first day of the week, when, for fear of the Jews, the doors were shut where the disciples were, Jesus came among them and said to them, May peace be with you!

bbe@John:20:24 @Now Thomas, one of the twelve, named Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.

bbe@John:20:25 @So the other disciples said to him, We have seen the Lord. But he said to them, If I do not see in his hands the print of the nails and put my finger into the print of the nails, and if I do not put my hand into his side, I will never have belief.

bbe@John:20:26 @And after eight days, his disciples were again in the house and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were shut, Jesus came, and taking his place in the middle of them, he said, May peace be with you!

bbe@John:20:30 @A number of other signs Jesus did before his disciples which are not recorded in this book:

bbe@John:20:31 @But these are recorded, so that you may have faith that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and so that, having this faith you may have life in his name.

bbe@John:21:1 @After these things Jesus let himself be seen again by the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and it came about in this way.

bbe@John:21:2 @Simon Peter, Thomas named Didymus, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were all together.

bbe@John:21:4 @Now very early in the morning Jesus was there by the edge of the sea (though the disciples were not conscious that it was Jesus).

bbe@John:21:6 @And he said to them, Let down the net on the right side of the boat and you will get some. So they put it in the water and now they were not able to get it up again because of the great number of fish.

bbe@John:21:8 @And the other disciples came in the little boat (they were not far from land, only about two hundred cubits off) pulling the net full of fish.

bbe@John:21:9 @When they got to land, they saw a fire of coals there, with fish cooking on it, and bread.

bbe@John:21:10 @Jesus said to them, Get some of the fish which you have now taken.

bbe@John:21:11 @So Peter went to the boat and came back pulling the net to land, full of great fish, a hundred and fifty-three; and though there was such a number the net was not broken.

bbe@John:21:12 @Jesus said to them, Come and take some food. And all the disciples were in fear of putting the question, Who are you? being conscious that it was the Lord.

bbe@John:21:15 @Then when they had taken food, Jesus said to Simon Peter, Simon, son of John, is your love for me greater than the love of these others? He said to him, Yes, Lord; you are certain of my love for you. He said to him, Then give my lambs food.

bbe@John:21:16 @Again, a second time, he said to him, Simon, son of John, have you any love for me? Yes, Lord, he said, you are certain of my love for you. Then take care of my sheep, said Jesus.

bbe@John:21:17 @He said to him a third time, Simon, son of John, am I dear to you? Now Peter was troubled in his heart because he put the question a third time, Am I dear to you? And he said to him, Lord, you have knowledge of all things; you see that you are dear to me. Jesus said to him, Then give my sheep food.

bbe@John:21:19 @Now this he said, pointing out the sort of death by which he would give God glory. And after saying this, he said to him, Come after me.

bbe@John:21:25 @And Jesus did such a number of other things that, if every one was recorded, it is my opinion that even the world itself is not great enough for the books there would be.

bbe@Acts:1:1 @I have given an earlier account, O Theophilus, of all the things which Jesus did, and of his teaching from the first,

bbe@Acts:1:2 @Till the day when he was taken up to heaven after he had given his orders, through the Holy Spirit, to the Apostles of whom he had made selection:

bbe@Acts:1:3 @And to whom he gave clear and certain signs that he was living, after his death; for he was seen by them for forty days, and gave them teaching about the kingdom of God:

bbe@Acts:1:4 @And when they were all together, with him, he gave them orders not to go away from Jerusalem, but to keep there, waiting till the word of the Father was put into effect, of which, he said, I have given you knowledge:

bbe@Acts:1:5 @For the baptism of John was with water, but you will have baptism with the Holy Spirit, after a little time.

bbe@Acts:1:7 @And he said to them, It is not for you to have knowledge of the time and the order of events which the Father has kept in his control.

bbe@Acts:1:8 @But you will have power, when the Holy Spirit has come on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and all Judaea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.

bbe@Acts:1:11 @And said, O men of Galilee, why are you looking up into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken from you into heaven, will come again, in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.

bbe@Acts:1:13 @And when they came in, they went up into the room where they were living; 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.

bbe@Acts:1:14 @And they all with one mind gave themselves up to prayer, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.

bbe@Acts:1:15 @And in those days Peter got up among the brothers (there were about one hundred and twenty of them), and said,

bbe@Acts:1:16 @My brothers, the word of God had to be put into effect, which the Holy Spirit had said before, by the mouth of David, about Judas, who was guide to those who took Jesus,

bbe@Acts:1:18 @(Now this man, with the reward of his evil-doing, got for himself a field, and falling head first, came to a sudden and violent end there.

bbe@Acts:1:19 @And this came to the knowledge of all those who were living in Jerusalem, so that the field was named in their language, Akel-dama, or, The field of blood.)

bbe@Acts:1:20 @For in the book of Psalms it says, Let his house be waste, and let no man be living in it: and, Let his position be taken by another.

bbe@Acts:1:21 @For this reason, of the men who have been with us all the time, while the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,

bbe@Acts:1:22 @Starting from the baptism of John till he went up from us, one will have to be a witness with us of his coming back from death.

bbe@Acts:1:23 @And they made selection of two, Joseph, named Barsabbas, whose other name was Justus, and Matthias.

bbe@Acts:1:24 @And they made prayers and said, Lord, having knowledge of the hearts of all men, make clear which of these two has been marked out by you,

bbe@Acts:1:26 @And they put it to the decision of chance, and the decision was given for Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven Apostles.

bbe@Acts:2:1 @And when the day of Pentecost was come, they were all together in one place.

bbe@Acts:2:2 @And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like the rushing of a violent wind, and all the house where they were was full of it.

bbe@Acts:2:3 @And they saw tongues, like flames of fire, coming to rest on every one of them.

bbe@Acts:2:4 @And they were all full of the Holy Spirit, and were talking in different languages, as the Spirit gave them power.

bbe@Acts:2:6 @And when this sound came to their ears, they all came together, and were greatly surprised because every man was hearing the words of the disciples in his special language.

bbe@Acts:2:7 @And they were full of wonder and said, Are not all these men Galilaeans?

bbe@Acts:2:8 @And how is it that every one of us is hearing their words in the language which was ours from our birth?

bbe@Acts:2:9 @Men of Parthia, Media, and Elam, and those living in Mesopotamia, in Judaea and Cappadocia, in Pontus and Asia,

bbe@Acts:2:10 @In Phrygia and Pamphylia, in Egypt and the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and those who have come from Rome, Jews by birth and others who have become Jews,

bbe@Acts:2:11 @Men of Crete and Arabia, to all of us they are talking in our different languages, of the great works of God.

bbe@Acts:2:12 @And they were all surprised and in doubt saying to one another, What is the reason of this?

bbe@Acts:2:13 @But others, making sport of them, said, They are full of new wine.

bbe@Acts:2:14 @But Peter, getting up, with the eleven, said in a loud voice, O men of Judaea, and all you who are living in Jerusalem, take note of this and give ear to my words.

bbe@Acts:2:15 @For these men are not overcome with wine, as it seems to you, for it is only the third hour of the day;

bbe@Acts:2:20 @The sun will become dark and the moon will be turned to blood, before that great day of the Lord comes in glory:

bbe@Acts:2:22 @Men of Israel, give ear to these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man who had the approval of God, as was made clear to you by the great works and signs and wonders which God did by him among you, as you yourselves have knowledge,

bbe@Acts:2:23 @Him, when he was given up, by the decision and knowledge of God, you put to death on the cross, by the hands of evil men:

bbe@Acts:2:24 @But God gave him back to life, having made him free from the pains of death because it was not possible for him to be overcome by it.

bbe@Acts:2:25 @For David said of him, I saw the Lord before my face at all times, for he is at my right hand, so that I may not be moved:

bbe@Acts:2:26 @And for this cause my heart was glad and my tongue full of joy, and my flesh will be resting in hope:

bbe@Acts:2:28 @You have made me see the ways of life; I will be full of joy when I see your face.

bbe@Acts:2:30 @But being a prophet, and having in mind the oath which God had given to him, that of the fruit of his body one would take his place as a king,

bbe@Acts:2:31 @He, having knowledge of the future, was talking of the coming again of Christ from the dead, that he was not kept in hell and his body did not see destruction.

bbe@Acts:2:32 @This Jesus God has given back to life, of which we all are witnesses.

bbe@Acts:2:33 @And so, being lifted up to the right hand of God, and having the Father's word that the Holy Spirit would come, he has sent this thing, which now you see and have knowledge of.

bbe@Acts:2:38 @And Peter said, Let your hearts be changed, every one of you, and have baptism in the name of Jesus Christ, for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will have the Holy Spirit given to you.

bbe@Acts:2:39 @For the word of God is for you and for your children and for all those who are far off, even all those who may be marked out by the Lord our God.

bbe@Acts:2:40 @And with more such words he gave his witness, offering them salvation and saying, Come out from this evil generation.

bbe@Acts:2:42 @And they kept their attention fixed on the Apostles' teaching and were united together in the taking of broken bread and in prayer.

bbe@Acts:2:43 @But fear came on every soul: and all sorts of wonders and signs were done by the Apostles.

bbe@Acts:2:44 @And all those who were of the faith kept together, and had all things in common;

bbe@Acts:2:45 @And exchanging their goods and property for money, they made division of it among them all, as they had need.

bbe@Acts:2:47 @Giving praise to God, and having the approval of all the people; and every day the number of those who had salvation was increased by the Lord.

bbe@Acts:3:1 @Now Peter and John were going up to the Temple at the ninth hour, the hour of prayer;

bbe@Acts:3:2 @And a certain man who from birth had had no power in his legs, was taken there every day, and put down at the door of the Temple which is named Beautiful, requesting money from those who went into the Temple;

bbe@Acts:3:6 @But Peter said, I have no silver or gold, but what I have, that I give to you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, get up on your feet.

bbe@Acts:3:7 @And he took him by his right hand, lifting him up; and straight away his feet and the bones of his legs became strong,

bbe@Acts:3:10 @And they saw that it was the man who made requests for money at the door of the Temple, and they were full of wonder and surprise at what had taken place

bbe@Acts:3:11 @And while he kept his hands on Peter and John, all the people came running together to the covered way which is named Solomon's, full of wonder.

bbe@Acts:3:12 @And when Peter saw it he said to the people, You men of Israel, why are you so greatly surprised at this man? or why are you looking at us as if by our power or virtue we had given him the use of his legs?

bbe@Acts:3:13 @The God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, has given glory to his servant Jesus; whom you gave up, turning your backs on him, when Pilate had made the decision to let him go free.

bbe@Acts:3:14 @But you would have nothing to do with the Holy and Upright One, and made request for a man of blood to be given to you,

bbe@Acts:3:15 @And put to death the Lord of life; whom God gave back from the dead; of which fact we are witnesses.

bbe@Acts:3:16 @And his name, through faith in his name, has made this man strong, whom you see and have knowledge of: yes, the faith which is through him has made him well, before you all.

bbe@Acts:3:18 @But the things which God had made clear before, by the mouth of all the prophets, that the Christ would have to undergo, he has put into effect in this way.

bbe@Acts:3:19 @So then, let your hearts be changed and be turned to God, so that your sins may be completely taken away, and times of blessing may come from the Lord;

bbe@Acts:3:21 @Who is to be kept in heaven till the time when all things are put right, of which God has given word by the mouth of his holy prophets, who have been from the earliest times.

bbe@Acts:3:23 @And every soul who does not give attention to that prophet, will be cut off from among the people.

bbe@Acts:3:24 @And all the prophets from Samuel and those who came after, every one of them, gave word of these days.

bbe@Acts:3:25 @You are the sons of the prophets, and of the agreement which God made with your fathers, saying to Abraham, Through your seed a blessing will come on all the families of the earth.

bbe@Acts:3:26 @To you, first, God sent his servant, blessing you by turning every one of you from his sins.

bbe@Acts:4:1 @And while they were talking to the people, the priests and the captain of the Temple and the Sadducees came up to them,

bbe@Acts:4:2 @Being greatly troubled because they were teaching the people and preaching Jesus as an example of the coming back from the dead.

bbe@Acts:4:4 @But a number of those who gave hearing to the word had faith; and they were now about five thousand.

bbe@Acts:4:6 @And Annas, the high priest, was there, and Caiaphas and John and Alexander, and all the relations of the high priest.

bbe@Acts:4:8 @Then Peter, being full of the Holy Spirit, said to them, O you rulers of the people and men of authority,

bbe@Acts:4:10 @Take note, all of you, and all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you put to death on the cross, whom God gave back from the dead, even through him is this man now before you completely well

bbe@Acts:4:11 @He is the stone which you builders had no use for, but which has been made the chief stone of the building.

bbe@Acts:4:13 @Now when they saw that Peter and John were without fear, though they were men of no education or learning, they were greatly surprised; and they took note of them that they had been with Jesus.

bbe@Acts:4:15 @But when they had given them orders to go out of the Sanhedrin, they had a discussion among themselves,

bbe@Acts:4:17 @But so that it may not go farther among the people, let us put them in fear of punishment if they say anything in future in this name.

bbe@Acts:4:18 @And they sent for them, and gave them orders not to make statements or give teaching in the name of Jesus.

bbe@Acts:4:19 @But Peter and John in answer said to them, It is for you to say if it is right in the eyes of God to give attention to you more than to God:

bbe@Acts:4:20 @For it is not possible for us to keep from saying what we have seen and have knowledge of.

bbe@Acts:4:21 @And when they had said more sharp words to them, they let them go, not seeing what punishment they might give them, because of the people; for all men were giving praise to God for what had taken place.

bbe@Acts:4:22 @For the man on whom this act of power was done was more than forty years old.

bbe@Acts:4:23 @And when they had been made free, they came back to their friends, and gave an account of all the things which the chief priests and the authorities had said to them.

bbe@Acts:4:24 @And hearing it, they all, with one mind, made prayer to God and said, O Lord, maker of heaven and earth and the sea and all things in them:

bbe@Acts:4:25 @Who has said, by the Holy Spirit, through the mouth of our father David your servant, Why are the nations so violently moved, and why are the thoughts of the people so foolish?

bbe@Acts:4:26 @The kings of the earth were lifted up, the rulers came together, against the Lord, and against his Christ:

bbe@Acts:4:27 @For, truly, in this town, against your holy servant, Jesus, who was marked out by you as Christ, Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, came together,

bbe@Acts:4:29 @And now, Lord, take note of their cruel words, and give your servants power to be preachers of your word without fear,

bbe@Acts:4:30 @While your hand is stretched out to do works of mercy; so that signs and wonders may be done through the name of your holy servant Jesus.

bbe@Acts:4:31 @And when their prayer was ended, the place where they were was violently moved, and they all became full of the Holy Spirit, preaching the word of God without fear.

bbe@Acts:4:32 @And all those who were of the faith were one in heart and soul: and not one of them said that any of the things which he had was his property only; but they had all things in common.

bbe@Acts:4:33 @And with great power the Apostles gave witness of the coming back of the Lord Jesus from the dead; and grace was on them all.

bbe@Acts:4:34 @And no one among them was in need; for everyone who had land or houses, exchanging them for money, took the price of them,

bbe@Acts:4:35 @And put it at the feet of the Apostles for distribution to everyone as he had need.

bbe@Acts:4:36 @And Joseph, who was given by the Apostles the name of Barnabas (the sense of which is, Son of comfort), a Levite and a man of Cyprus by birth,

bbe@Acts:4:37 @Having a field, got money for it and put the money at the feet of the Apostles.

bbe@Acts:5:2 @And kept back part of the price, his wife having knowledge of it, and took the rest and put it at the feet of the Apostles.

bbe@Acts:5:3 @But Peter said, Ananias, why has the Evil One put it into your heart to be false to the Holy Spirit, and to keep back part of the price of the land?

bbe@Acts:5:7 @And about three hours after, his wife, having no knowledge of what had taken place, came in.

bbe@Acts:5:8 @And Peter said to her, Give me an answer: was this amount of money the price of the land? And she said, Yes, it was.

bbe@Acts:5:9 @But Peter said to her, Why have you made an agreement together to be false to the Spirit of the Lord? See, the feet of the young men who have put the body of your husband in the earth, are at the door, and they will take you out.

bbe@Acts:5:11 @Then great fear came on all the church and on all who had knowledge of these things.

bbe@Acts:5:12 @Now a number of signs and wonders were done among the people by the hands of the Apostles; and they were all together in Solomon's covered way

bbe@Acts:5:13 @The others, in fear, kept back from joining them: but the people made much of them;

bbe@Acts:5:14 @And a great number of men and women had faith, and were joined to the Lord;

bbe@Acts:5:15 @And they even took into the streets people who were ill, and put them on beds, so that when Peter went by, some of them might be in his shade.

bbe@Acts:5:16 @And numbers of people came together from the towns round about Jerusalem, with those who were ill and those who were troubled with unclean spirits: and they were all made well.

bbe@Acts:5:17 @But the high priest and those who were with him (the Sadducees) were full of envy,

bbe@Acts:5:19 @But in the night an angel of the Lord, opening the doors of the prison, took them out and said,

bbe@Acts:5:21 @And hearing this, they went into the Temple at dawn, and were teaching. But the high priest and those who were with him got together the Sanhedrin and the representatives of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to get them.

bbe@Acts:5:23 @Saying, The doors of the prison were safely shut, and the keepers were at the doors, but when they were open, there was nobody inside.

bbe@Acts:5:24 @Now, at these words, the captain of the Temple and the chief priests were greatly troubled about what might be the end of this business.

bbe@Acts:5:26 @Then the captain and some of the police went and took them, but not violently, for fear that they might be stoned by the people.

bbe@Acts:5:28 @We gave you very clear orders not to give teaching in this name: and now Jerusalem is full of your teaching, and you are attempting to make us responsible for this man's death.

bbe@Acts:5:29 @But Peter and the Apostles, answering, said, We have to do the orders of God, not of man.

bbe@Acts:5:30 @The God of our fathers gave Jesus back to life, whom you had put to death, hanging him on a tree.

bbe@Acts:5:31 @Him God has put on high at his right hand, as a Ruler and a Saviour, to give to Israel a change of heart and forgiveness of sins.

bbe@Acts:5:32 @And we are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who keep his laws.

bbe@Acts:5:34 @But one of the Sanhedrin, a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a man of learning in the law, of whom all the people had a high opinion, got up and made a suggestion for the men to be put outside for a little time.

bbe@Acts:5:35 @And he said to them, Men of Israel, take care what you do about these men.

bbe@Acts:5:37 @After this man, there was Judas of Galilee, at the time of the numbering, and some of the people went after him: he was put to death, and all his supporters were put to flight.

bbe@Acts:5:38 @And now I say to you, Do nothing to these men, but let them be: for if this teaching or this work is of men, it will come to nothing:

bbe@Acts:5:39 @But if it is of God, you will not be able to overcome them, and you are in danger of fighting against God.

bbe@Acts:5:40 @And he seemed to them to be right: and they sent for the Apostles, and, after having them whipped and giving them orders to give no teaching in the name of Jesus, they let them go.

bbe@Acts:6:1 @Now in those days, when the number of the disciples was increasing, protests were made by the Greek Jews against the Hebrews, because their widows were not taken care of in the distribution of food every day.

bbe@Acts:6:2 @And the Apostles sent for all the disciples and said, It is not right for us to give up preaching the word of God in order to make distribution of food.

bbe@Acts:6:3 @Take then from among you seven men of good name, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, to whom we may give control of this business.

bbe@Acts:6:4 @Then we will give all our time to prayer and the teaching of the word.

bbe@Acts:6:5 @And this saying was pleasing to all of them: and they made selection of Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, and Philip and Prochorus and Nicanor and Timon and Parmenas and Nicolas of Antioch, who had become a Jew:

bbe@Acts:6:7 @And the word of God was increasing in power; and the number of the disciples in Jerusalem became very great, and a great number of priests were in agreement with the faith.

bbe@Acts:6:8 @And Stephen, full of grace and power, did great wonders and signs among the people.

bbe@Acts:6:9 @But some of those who were of the Synagogue named that of the Libertines, and some of the men of Cyrene and of Alexandria and those from Cilicia and Asia, had arguments with Stephen.

bbe@Acts:6:10 @But they were not able to get the better of him, for his words were full of wisdom and of the Spirit.

bbe@Acts:6:14 @For he has said in our hearing that this Jesus of Nazareth will put this place to destruction and make changes in the rules which were handed down to us by Moses

bbe@Acts:6:15 @And all those who were in the Sanhedrin, looking at him, saw that his face was like the face of an angel.

bbe@Acts:7:2 @And he said, My brothers and fathers, give hearing. The God of glory came to our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he was living in Haran,

bbe@Acts:7:3 @And said to him, Go out of your land, and away from your family, and come into the land to which I will be your guide.

bbe@Acts:7:4 @Then he came out of the land of the Chaldaeans, and went into Haran; and from there, when his father was dead, he was guided by God into this land, where you are living now:

bbe@Acts:7:7 @And I will be the judge, said God, of that nation which made them servants: and after that, they will come out and give me worship in this place.

bbe@Acts:7:8 @And he made with him the agreement of which circumcision was the sign. And so Abraham had a son, Isaac, and gave him circumcision on the eighth day; and Isaac had a son, Jacob, and Jacob was the father of the twelve heads of the families of Israel.

bbe@Acts:7:10 @And made him free from all his troubles, and gave him wisdom and the approval of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, who made him ruler over Egypt and all his house.

bbe@Acts:7:13 @And the second time his brothers had a meeting with Joseph, and Pharaoh had knowledge of Joseph's family.

bbe@Acts:7:16 @And they were taken over to Shechem, and put to rest in the place which Abraham got for a price in silver from the sons of Hamor in Shechem

bbe@Acts:7:18 @Till another king came to power, who had no knowledge of Joseph.

bbe@Acts:7:22 @And Moses was trained in all the wisdom of Egypt, and was great in his words and works.

bbe@Acts:7:23 @But when he was almost forty years old, it came into his heart to go and see his brothers, the children of Israel.

bbe@Acts:7:24 @And seeing one of them being attacked, he went to his help and gave the Egyptian a death-blow:

bbe@Acts:7:29 @And at these words, Moses went in flight to the land of Midian, and was living there for a time, and had two sons.

bbe@Acts:7:30 @At the end of forty years, an angel came to him in the waste land of Sinai, in the flame of a burning thorn-tree.

bbe@Acts:7:31 @And Moses, seeing it, was full of wonder, and when he came up to have a nearer view of it, the voice of the Lord came to him, saying,

bbe@Acts:7:32 @I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham and of Isaac and of Jacob. And Moses, shaking with fear, kept his eyes from looking at it.

bbe@Acts:7:33 @And the Lord said, Take off the shoes from your feet, for the place where you are is holy.

bbe@Acts:7:34 @Truly, I have seen the sorrows of my people in Egypt, and their cries have come to my ears, and I have come down to make them free: and now, come, I will send you to Egypt.

bbe@Acts:7:35 @This Moses, whom they would not have, saying, Who made you a ruler and a judge? him God sent to be a ruler and a saviour, by the hand of the angel whom he saw in the thorn-tree.

bbe@Acts:7:37 @This is the same Moses, who said to the children of Israel, God will give you a prophet from among your brothers, like me.

bbe@Acts:7:38 @This is the man who was in the church in the waste land with the angel who was talking to him in Sinai, and with our fathers; and to him were given the living words of God, so that he might give them to you.

bbe@Acts:7:40 @And saying to Aaron, Make us gods to go before us: as for this Moses, who took us out of the land of Egypt, we have no idea what has become of him.

bbe@Acts:7:41 @And they made the image of a young ox in those days, and made an offering to it, and had joy in the work of their hands.

bbe@Acts:7:42 @But God was turned from them and let them give worship to the stars of heaven, as it says in the book of the prophets, Did you make offerings to me of sheep and oxen for forty years in the waste land, O house of Israel?

bbe@Acts:7:43 @And you took up the tent of Moloch and the star of the god Rephan, images which you made to give worship to them: and I will take you away, farther than Babylon.

bbe@Acts:7:44 @Our fathers had the Tent of witness in the waste land, as God gave orders to Moses to make it after the design which he had seen.

bbe@Acts:7:45 @Which our fathers, in their turn, took with them when, with Joshua, they came into the heritage of the nations whom God was driving out before the face of our fathers, till the time of David,

bbe@Acts:7:46 @Who was pleasing to God; and he had a desire to make a holy tent for the God of Jacob.

bbe@Acts:7:47 @But Solomon was the builder of his house.

bbe@Acts:7:49 @Heaven is the seat of my power, and earth is a resting-place for my feet: what sort of house will you make for me, says the Lord, or what is my place of rest?

bbe@Acts:7:52 @Which of the prophets was not cruelly attacked by your fathers? and they put to death those who gave them the news of the coming of the Upright One; whom you have now given up and put to death;

bbe@Acts:7:55 @But he was full of the Holy Spirit, and looking up to heaven, he saw the glory of God and Jesus at the right hand of God.

bbe@Acts:7:56 @And he said, Now I see heaven open, and the Son of man at the right hand of God.

bbe@Acts:7:58 @Driving him out of the town and stoning him: and the witnesses put their clothing at the feet of a young man named Saul.

bbe@Acts:8:1 @And Saul gave approval to his death. Now at that time a violent attack was started against the church in Jerusalem; and all but the Apostles went away into all parts of Judaea and Samaria.

bbe@Acts:8:7 @For unclean spirits came out from those who had them, crying with a loud voice; and a number of those who were ill and broken in body were made well.

bbe@Acts:8:9 @But there was a certain man named Simon, who in the past had been a wonder-worker and a cause of surprise to the people of Samaria, saying that he himself was a great man:

bbe@Acts:8:10 @To whom they all gave attention, from the smallest to the greatest, saying, This man is that power of God which is named Great.

bbe@Acts:8:12 @But when they had faith in the good news given by Philip about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, a number of men and women had baptism.

bbe@Acts:8:13 @And Simon himself had faith and, having had baptism, he went with Philip and, seeing the signs and the great wonders which he did, he was full of surprise.

bbe@Acts:8:14 @Now when the Apostles at Jerusalem had news that the people of Samaria had taken the word of God into their hearts, they sent to them Peter and John;

bbe@Acts:8:16 @For up to that time he had not come on any of them; only baptism had been given to them in the name of the Lord Jesus.

bbe@Acts:8:18 @Now when Simon saw that the Holy Spirit was given through the touch of the Apostles' hands, he made them an offering of money, saying,

bbe@Acts:8:23 @For I see that you are prisoned in bitter envy and the chains of sin.

bbe@Acts:8:25 @So they, having given their witness and made clear the word of the Lord, went back to Jerusalem, giving the good news on their way in a number of the small towns of Samaria.

bbe@Acts:8:26 @But an angel of the Lord said to Philip, Get up, and go to the south, to the road which goes from Jerusalem to Gaza, through the waste land.

bbe@Acts:8:27 @And he went and there was a man of Ethiopia, a servant of great authority under Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, and controller of all her property, who had come up to Jerusalem for worship;

bbe@Acts:8:28 @He was going back, seated in his carriage, and was reading the book of the prophet Isaiah.

bbe@Acts:8:30 @And Philip, running up to him, saw that he was reading Isaiah the prophet, and said to him, Is the sense of what you are reading clear to you?

bbe@Acts:8:33 @Being of low degree, his cause was not given a hearing: who has knowledge of his family? for his life is cut off from the earth.

bbe@Acts:8:38 @And he gave orders for the carriage to be stopped, and the two of them went down into the water, and Philip gave him baptism.

bbe@Acts:8:39 @And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord took Philip away; and the Ethiopian saw him no more, for he went on his way full of joy.

bbe@Acts:9:1 @But Saul, still burning with desire to put to death the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest,

bbe@Acts:9:2 @And made a request for letters from him to the Synagogues of Damascus, so that if there were any of the Way there, men or women, he might take them as prisoners to Jerusalem.

bbe@Acts:9:11 @And the Lord said to him, Get up, and go to the street which is named Straight, and make search at the house of Judas for one named Saul of Tarsus: for he is at prayer;

bbe@Acts:9:13 @But Ananias said, Lord, I have had accounts of this man from a number of people, how much evil he has done to your saints at Jerusalem:

bbe@Acts:9:15 @But the Lord said, Go without fear: for he is a special vessel for me, to give to the Gentiles and kings and to the children of Israel the knowledge of my name:

bbe@Acts:9:17 @And Ananias went out and came to the house, and putting his hands on him, said, Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, whom you saw when you were on your journey, has sent me, so that you may be able to see, and be full of the Holy Spirit.

bbe@Acts:9:20 @And straight away, in the Synagogues, he was preaching Jesus as the Son of God

bbe@Acts:9:21 @And all those hearing him were full of wonder and said, Is not this the man who in Jerusalem was attacking all the worshippers of this name? and he had come here so that he might take them as prisoners before the chief priests.

bbe@Acts:9:24 @But Saul got knowledge of their design. And they kept watch day and night on the roads out of the town, so that they might put him to death:

bbe@Acts:9:26 @And when he came to Jerusalem, he made an attempt to be joined to the disciples, but they were all in fear of him, not taking him for a disciple.

bbe@Acts:9:27 @But Barnabas took him to the Apostles and gave them an account of how he had seen the Lord on the road, and had given hearing to his words, and how at Damascus he had been preaching in the name of Jesus without fear.

bbe@Acts:9:29 @Preaching in the name of the Lord without fear; and he had discussions with the Greek Jews; but they were working for his death.

bbe@Acts:9:30 @And when the brothers had knowledge of it, they took him to Caesarea and sent him to Tarsus.

bbe@Acts:9:31 @And so the church through all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria had peace and was made strong; and, living in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, was increased greatly.

bbe@Acts:9:32 @And it came about that while Peter was going through all parts of the country he came to the saints who were living at Lydda.

bbe@Acts:9:33 @And there was a certain man there, named Aeneas, who for eight years had been in bed, without power of moving.

bbe@Acts:9:36 @Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, that is, Dorcas: this woman was given to good works and acts of mercy at all times.

bbe@Acts:9:42 @And news of it went all through Joppa, and a number of people had faith in the Lord.

bbe@Acts:10:1 @Now there was a certain man in Caesarea, named Cornelius, the captain of the Italian band of the army;

bbe@Acts:10:3 @He saw in a vision, clearly, at about the ninth hour of the day, an angel of the Lord coming to him and saying to him, Cornelius!

bbe@Acts:10:4 @And he, looking on him in fear, said, What is it, Lord? And he said to him, Your prayers and your offerings have come up to God, and he has kept them in mind.

bbe@Acts:10:7 @And when the angel who said these words to him had gone away, he sent for two of his house-servants, and a God-fearing man of the army, one of those who were waiting on him at all times;

bbe@Acts:10:8 @And having given them an account of everything, he sent them to Joppa.

bbe@Acts:10:9 @Now the day after, when they were on their journey and were near the town, Peter went up to the top of the house for prayer, about the sixth hour:

bbe@Acts:10:10 @And he was in need of food: but while they were getting it ready, a deep sleep came on him;

bbe@Acts:10:12 @In which were all sorts of beasts and birds.

bbe@Acts:10:17 @Now while Peter was in doubt as to the purpose of this vision, the men who were sent by Cornelius, having made search for Simon's house, came to the door,

bbe@Acts:10:22 @And they said, Cornelius, a captain, an upright and God-fearing man, respected by all the nation of the Jews, had word from God by an angel to send for you to his house, and to give hearing to your words.

bbe@Acts:10:23 @So he took them in for the night. And the day after, he went with them, taking some of the brothers from Joppa with him.

bbe@Acts:10:27 @And saying these words, he went in, and saw that a great number of people had come together;

bbe@Acts:10:28 @And he said to them, You yourselves have knowledge that it is against the law for a man who is a Jew to be in the company of one who is of another nation; but God has made it clear to me that no man may be named common or unclean:

bbe@Acts:10:31 @Who said, Cornelius, your prayer has come to the ears of God, and your offerings are kept in his memory.

bbe@Acts:10:32 @Send, then, to Joppa, and get Simon, named Peter, to come to you; he is living in the house of Simon, a leather-worker, by the sea.

bbe@Acts:10:34 @Then Peter said, Truly, I see clearly that God is no respecter of persons:

bbe@Acts:10:35 @But in every nation, the man who has fear of him and does righteousness is pleasing to him.

bbe@Acts:10:36 @The word which he sent to the children of Israel, giving the good news of peace through Jesus Christ (who is Lord of all)--

bbe@Acts:10:37 @That word you yourselves have knowledge of, which was made public through all Judaea, starting from Galilee, after the baptism of which John was the preacher,

bbe@Acts:10:38 @About Jesus of Nazareth, how God gave the Holy Spirit to him, with power: and how he went about doing good and making well all who were troubled by evil spirits, for God was with him.

bbe@Acts:10:39 @And we are witnesses of all the things which he did in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem; whom they put to death, hanging him on a tree.

bbe@Acts:10:42 @And he gave us orders to give news of this to the people, and to give public witness that this is he whom God has made judge of the living and the dead.

bbe@Acts:10:43 @To him all the prophets give witness, that through his name everyone who has faith in him will have forgiveness of sins.

bbe@Acts:10:45 @And the Jews of the faith, who had come with Peter, were full of wonder, because the Holy Spirit was given to the Gentiles,

bbe@Acts:10:48 @And he gave orders for them to have baptism in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they kept him with them for some days.

bbe@Acts:11:1 @Now the Apostles and the brothers who were in Judaea had news that the word of God had been given to the Gentiles.

bbe@Acts:11:2 @And when Peter came to Jerusalem, those who kept the rule of circumcision had an argument with him,

bbe@Acts:11:4 @But Peter gave them an account of it all in order, saying to them,

bbe@Acts:11:5 @I was in the town of Joppa, at prayer: and falling into a deep sleep, I saw in a vision a vessel like a great cloth let down from heaven, and it came down to me:

bbe@Acts:11:6 @And looking on it with attention I saw in it all sorts of beasts and birds.

bbe@Acts:11:13 @And he gave us an account of how he had seen the angel in his house, saying, Send to Joppa, and get Simon, named Peter, to come to you;

bbe@Acts:11:16 @And the words of the Lord came into my mind, how he said, The baptism of John was with water, but you will have baptism with the Holy Spirit.

bbe@Acts:11:18 @And hearing these things they said nothing more, but gave glory to God, saying, Then to the Gentiles as to us has God given a change of heart, so that they may have life.

bbe@Acts:11:19 @Then those who had gone away at the time of the trouble about Stephen, went as far as Phoenicia and Cyprus, preaching to the Jews only.

bbe@Acts:11:20 @But some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, when they came to Antioch, gave the good news about the Lord Jesus to the Greeks.

bbe@Acts:11:21 @And the power of the Lord was with them, and a great number had faith and were turned to the Lord.

bbe@Acts:11:22 @And news of them came to the ears of the church at Jerusalem: and they sent Barnabas as far as Antioch:

bbe@Acts:11:23 @Who, when he came and saw the grace of God, was glad; and he made clear to them the need of keeping near the Lord with all the strength of their hearts:

bbe@Acts:11:24 @For he was a good man and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith: and a great number were joined to the Lord.

bbe@Acts:11:26 @And when he had come across him, he took him to Antioch. And they were with the church there for a year, teaching the people; and the disciples were first given the name of Christians in Antioch.

bbe@Acts:11:28 @And one of them, named Agabus, said publicly through the Spirit that there would be serious need of food all over the earth: which came about in the time of Claudius.

bbe@Acts:11:30 @Which they did, sending it to the rulers of the church by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.

bbe@Acts:12:2 @And he put James, the brother of John, to death with the sword.

bbe@Acts:12:3 @And when he saw that this was pleasing to the Jews he went on to take Peter in addition. This was at the time of the feast of unleavened bread.

bbe@Acts:12:4 @And having taken him, he put him in prison, with four bands of armed men to keep watch over him; his purpose being to take him out to the people after the Passover.

bbe@Acts:12:6 @And when Herod was about to take him out, the same night Peter was sleeping in chains between two armed men, and the watchmen were keeping watch before the door of the prison.

bbe@Acts:12:7 @And a great light was seen shining in the room, and an angel of the Lord came to Peter and, touching him on his side so that he came out of his sleep, said, Get up quickly. And his chains came off his hands.

bbe@Acts:12:11 @And when Peter came to his senses he said, Now, truly, I am certain that the Lord has sent his angel and taken me out of the hands of Herod, against all the hopes of the Jews.

bbe@Acts:12:12 @And when he became clear about this, he went to the house of Mary, the mother of John named Mark, where a number of them had come together for prayer.

bbe@Acts:12:14 @And hearing the voice of Peter, in her joy she went running, without opening the door, to say that Peter was outside.

bbe@Acts:12:15 @And they said to her, You are off your head. But still she said, with decision, that it was so. And they said, It is his angel.

bbe@Acts:12:16 @But Peter went on giving blows on the door: and when it was open and they saw him, they were full of wonder.

bbe@Acts:12:17 @But he made a sign to them with his hand to be quiet, and gave them an account of how the Lord had taken him out of prison. And he said, Give the news to James and the brothers. And then he went away.

bbe@Acts:12:18 @Now when it was day, the armed men were greatly troubled about what had become of Peter.

bbe@Acts:12:20 @Now he was very angry with the people of Tyre and Sidon: and they came to him, all together, and having made friends with Blastus, the controller of the king's house, they made a request for peace, because their country was dependent on the king's country for its food.

bbe@Acts:12:22 @And the people, with loud cries, said, It is the voice of a god, not of a man.

bbe@Acts:12:23 @And straight away the angel of the Lord sent a disease on him, because he did not give the glory to God: and his flesh was wasted away by worms, and so he came to his end.

bbe@Acts:12:24 @But the word of the Lord went on increasing.

bbe@Acts:13:1 @Now there were at Antioch, in the church there, prophets and teachers, Barnabas, and Symeon who was named Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, a relation of Herod the king, and Saul.

bbe@Acts:13:5 @And at Salamis they were preaching the word of God in the Synagogues of the Jews: and John was with them, helping them.

bbe@Acts:13:7 @Who was with the ruler, Sergius Paulus, an able man. This man sent for Barnabas and Saul, desiring to have knowledge of the word of God.

bbe@Acts:13:8 @But Elymas, the wonder-worker (for that is the sense of his name), put himself against them, with the purpose of turning the ruler from the faith.

bbe@Acts:13:9 @But Saul, whose other name is Paul, being full of the Holy Spirit, looking hard at him, said,

bbe@Acts:13:10 @O you, who are full of false tricks and evil ways, a son of the Evil One, hating all righteousness, will you for ever be turning people from the right ways of the Lord?

bbe@Acts:13:11 @And now, see, the hand of the Lord is on you, and you will be blind and not able to see the sun for a time. And straight away a dark mist came down on him; and he went about looking for a guide.

bbe@Acts:13:12 @Then the ruler, when he saw what was done, had faith, being full of wonder at the teaching of the Lord.

bbe@Acts:13:15 @And after the reading of the law and the prophets, the rulers of the Synagogue sent to them, saying, Brothers, if you have a word of comfort for the people, say on

bbe@Acts:13:16 @And Paul, getting up and making a sign with his hand, said, Men of Israel, and you who have the fear of God, give ear.

bbe@Acts:13:17 @The God of this people Israel made selection of our fathers, lifting the people up from their low condition when they were living in the land of Egypt, and with a strong arm took them out of it.

bbe@Acts:13:19 @And having put to destruction seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them the land for their heritage for about four hundred and fifty years.

bbe@Acts:13:20 @And after these things he gave them judges, till the time of Samuel the prophet.

bbe@Acts:13:21 @Then at their request for a king, God gave them Saul, the son of Kish, a man of the family of Benjamin, who was their king for forty years.

bbe@Acts:13:22 @And having put him on one side, he made David their king, to whom he gave witness, saying, I have taken David, the son of Jesse, a man dear to my heart, who will do all my pleasure.

bbe@Acts:13:24 @For whose coming John made ready the way by preaching to all the people of Israel the baptism which goes with a change of heart.

bbe@Acts:13:26 @My brothers, children of the family of Abraham, and those among you who have the fear of God, to us the word of this salvation is sent.

bbe@Acts:13:27 @For the men of Jerusalem and their rulers, having no knowledge of him, or of the sayings of the prophets which come to their ears every Sabbath day, gave effect to them by judging him.

bbe@Acts:13:28 @And though no cause of death was seen in him, they made a request to Pilate that he might be put to death.

bbe@Acts:13:29 @And when they had done all the things said in the Writings about him, they took him down from the tree, and put him in the place of the dead.

bbe@Acts:13:31 @And for a number of days he was seen by those who came with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are now his witnesses before the people.

bbe@Acts:13:32 @And we are giving you the good news of the undertaking made to the fathers,

bbe@Acts:13:34 @And about his coming back from the dead, never again to go to destruction, he has said these words, I will give you the holy and certain mercies of David.

bbe@Acts:13:38 @And so, let it be clear to you, my brothers, that through this man forgiveness of sins is offered to you:

bbe@Acts:13:39 @And through him everyone who has faith is made free from all those things, from which the law of Moses was not able to make you free.

bbe@Acts:13:40 @So take care that these words of the prophets do not come true for you;

bbe@Acts:13:43 @Now when the meeting was ended, a number of the Jews and of the God-fearing Gentiles who had become Jews, went after Paul and Barnabas: who put before them how important it was to keep on in the grace of God.

bbe@Acts:13:44 @And on the Sabbath after, almost all the town came together to give hearing to the word of God.

bbe@Acts:13:45 @But when the Jews saw such a great number of people, they were full of envy and said evil words against Paul's preaching.

bbe@Acts:13:46 @Then Paul and Barnabas without fear said, It was necessary for the word of God to be given to you first; but because you will have nothing to do with it, and have no desire for eternal life, it will now be offered to the Gentiles.

bbe@Acts:13:47 @For so the Lord has given us orders, saying, I have given you for a light to the Gentiles so that you may be for salvation to the ends of the earth.

bbe@Acts:13:48 @And the Gentiles, hearing this, were glad and gave glory to the word of God: and those marked out by God for eternal life had faith.

bbe@Acts:13:49 @And the word of the Lord went through all the country.

bbe@Acts:13:50 @But the Jews, working up the feelings of the God-fearing women of high position and of the chief men of the town, got an attack started against Paul and Barnabas, driving them out of those parts.

bbe@Acts:13:51 @But they, shaking off the dust of that place from their feet, came to Iconium.

bbe@Acts:13:52 @And the disciples were full of joy and of the Holy Spirit.

bbe@Acts:14:1 @Now in Iconium they went together to the Synagogue of the Jews and gave such teaching that a great number of Jews and Greeks had faith.

bbe@Acts:14:2 @But those Jews who had not the faith, made the minds of the Gentiles bitter against the brothers.

bbe@Acts:14:3 @So they kept there for a long time, taking heart in the Lord, who gave witness to the word of his grace by causing signs and wonders to be done by their hands.

bbe@Acts:14:4 @But there was a division among the people of the town; some were on the side of the Jews and some on the side of the Apostles.

bbe@Acts:14:6 @Having got news of it, they went in flight to the towns of Lycaonia, Lystra, and Derbe, and the country round about:

bbe@Acts:14:8 @And at Lystra there was a certain man, who from birth had been without the use of his feet, never having had the power of walking.

bbe@Acts:14:9 @This man was giving ear to the preaching of Paul, who, looking at him, and seeing that he had faith to be made well,

bbe@Acts:14:11 @And when the people saw what Paul had done, they said in a loud voice, in the language of Lycaonia, The gods have come down to us in the form of men.

bbe@Acts:14:12 @And they gave the name of Jupiter to Barnabas, and to Paul that of Mercury, because he was the chief talker.

bbe@Acts:14:13 @And the priest of the image of Jupiter, which was before the town, took oxen and flowers to the doors of the town, and was about to make an offering with the people.

bbe@Acts:14:14 @But when this came to the ears of the Apostles, Paul and Barnabas, they went running out among the people, parting their clothing, and crying out,

bbe@Acts:14:17 @But he was not without witness, because he did good, and gave you rain from heaven and times of fruit, making your hearts full of food and joy

bbe@Acts:14:18 @And even with these words, it was hard for them to keep the people from making an offering to them.

bbe@Acts:14:19 @But some Jews came to that place from Antioch and Iconium, and got control over the people; and after stoning Paul, they had him pulled out of the town, taking him for dead.

bbe@Acts:14:21 @And having made a number of disciples through the preaching of the good news in that town, they went back to Lystra and Iconium and Antioch,

bbe@Acts:14:22 @Making strong the souls of the disciples, saying to them that they were to keep the faith, and that we have to go through troubles of all sorts to come into the kingdom of God.

bbe@Acts:14:23 @And when they had made selection of some to be rulers in every church, and had given themselves to prayer and kept themselves from food, they put them into the care of the Lord in whom they had faith.

bbe@Acts:14:26 @And from there they went by ship to Antioch, where they had been handed over to the grace of God for the work which they had not done.

bbe@Acts:14:27 @And when they came there, and had got the church together, they gave them an account of all the things which God had done through them, and how he had made open a door of faith to the Gentiles.

bbe@Acts:15:1 @Now certain men came down from Judaea, teaching the brothers and saying that without circumcision, after the rule of Moses, there is no salvation.

bbe@Acts:15:2 @And after Paul and Barnabas had had no little argument and discussion with them, the brothers made a decision to send Paul and Barnabas and certain others of them to the Apostles and the rulers of the church at Jerusalem about this question.

bbe@Acts:15:3 @So they, being sent on their way by the church, went through Phoenicia and Samaria, giving news of the salvation of the Gentiles, to the great joy of all the brothers.

bbe@Acts:15:4 @And when they came to Jerusalem, they had a meeting with the church and the Apostles and the rulers, and they gave an account of all the things which God had done through them.

bbe@Acts:15:5 @But some of the Pharisees, who were of the faith, got up and said, It is necessary for these to have circumcision and to keep the law of Moses.

bbe@Acts:15:6 @And the Apostles and the rulers of the church came together and gave thought to the question.

bbe@Acts:15:8 @And God, the searcher of hearts, was a witness to them, giving them the Holy Spirit even as he did to us;

bbe@Acts:15:10 @Why then are you testing God, by putting on the neck of the disciples a yoke so hard that not even our fathers or we were strong enough for it?

bbe@Acts:15:11 @But we have faith that we will get salvation through the grace of the Lord Jesus in the same way as they.

bbe@Acts:15:12 @And all the people were quiet while Barnabas and Paul gave an account of the signs and wonders which God had done among the Gentiles by them.

bbe@Acts:15:14 @Symeon has given an account of how God was first pleased to take from among the Gentiles a people for himself.

bbe@Acts:15:15 @And this is in agreement with the words of the prophets, as it is said,

bbe@Acts:15:16 @After these things I will come back, and will put up the tent of David which has been broken down, building up again its broken parts and making it complete:

bbe@Acts:15:17 @So that the rest of men may make search for the Lord, and all the Gentiles on whom my name is named,

bbe@Acts:15:19 @For this reason my decision is, that we do not put trouble in the way of those who from among the Gentiles are turned to God;

bbe@Acts:15:20 @But that we give them orders to keep themselves from things offered to false gods, and from the evil desires of the body, and from the flesh of animals put to death in ways against the law, and from blood.

bbe@Acts:15:23 @And they sent a letter by them, saying, The Apostles and the older brothers, to the brothers who are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia, may joy be with you:

bbe@Acts:15:26 @Men who have given up their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

bbe@Acts:15:27 @And so we have sent Judas and Silas, who will say the same things to you themselves, by word of mouth.

bbe@Acts:15:29 @To keep from things offered to false gods, and from blood, and from things put to death in ways which are against the law, and from the evil desires of the body; if you keep yourselves from these, you will do well. May you be happy.

bbe@Acts:15:31 @And after reading it, they were glad of its comfort.

bbe@Acts:15:35 @But Paul and Barnabas kept on in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of God, with a number of others.

bbe@Acts:15:36 @And after some days, Paul said to Barnabas, Let us go back and see the brothers in every town where we have given the word of God, and see how they are.

bbe@Acts:15:38 @But Paul was of the opinion that it was not right to take with them one who had gone away from them in Pamphylia, and had not gone on with the work.

bbe@Acts:15:40 @But Paul took Silas and went away with the blessing of the brothers.

bbe@Acts:16:1 @And he came to Derbe and Lystra: and there was a certain disciple there named Timothy, whose mother was one of the Jews of the faith, but his father was a Greek;

bbe@Acts:16:2 @Of whom the brothers at Lystra and Iconium had a high opinion.

bbe@Acts:16:3 @Paul had a desire for him to go with him, and he gave him circumcision because of the Jews who were in those parts: for they all had knowledge that his father was a Greek.

bbe@Acts:16:4 @And on their way through the towns, they gave them the rules which had been made by the Apostles and the rulers of the church at Jerusalem, so that they might keep them.

bbe@Acts:16:6 @And after they had gone through the land of Phrygia and Galatia, the Holy Spirit did not let them take the word into Asia;

bbe@Acts:16:7 @And having come to Mysia, they made an attempt to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus did not let them;

bbe@Acts:16:9 @And Paul had a vision in the night; a man of Macedonia came, requesting him, and saying, Come over into Macedonia and give us help.

bbe@Acts:16:12 @And from there to Philippi, which is the most important town of Macedonia and a Roman colony: and we were there for some days.

bbe@Acts:16:13 @And on the Sabbath we went outside the town, by the river, where we had an idea that there would be a place of prayer; and, being seated, we had talk with the women who had come together.

bbe@Acts:16:14 @And a certain woman named Lydia, a trader in purple cloth of the town of Thyatira, and a God-fearing woman, gave ear to us: whose heart the Lord made open to give attention to the things which Paul was saying.

bbe@Acts:16:16 @And when we were going to the place of prayer, we came across a girl with a spirit which gave knowledge of the future, whose masters made great profit from her power.

bbe@Acts:16:17 @She came after Paul and us, crying out and saying, These men are the servants of the Most High God, who are giving you news of the way of salvation.

bbe@Acts:16:18 @And this she did on a number of days. But Paul was greatly troubled and, turning, said to the spirit, I give you orders in the name of Jesus Christ, to come out of her. And it came out that very hour.

bbe@Acts:16:19 @But when her masters saw that their hope of profit was gone, they took Paul and Silas, pulling them into the market-place before the rulers;

bbe@Acts:16:21 @Teaching rules of living which it is not right for us to have or to keep, being Romans

bbe@Acts:16:22 @And the people made an attack on them all together: and the authorities took their clothing off them, and gave orders for them to be whipped.

bbe@Acts:16:23 @And when they had given them a great number of blows, they put them in prison, giving orders to the keeper of the prison to keep them safely:

bbe@Acts:16:25 @But about the middle of the night, Paul and Silas were making prayers and songs to God in the hearing of the prisoners;

bbe@Acts:16:26 @And suddenly there was an earth-shock, so that the base of the prison was moved: and all the doors came open, and everyone's chains came off.

bbe@Acts:16:27 @And the keeper, coming out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, took his sword and was about to put himself to death, fearing that the prisoners had got away.

bbe@Acts:16:32 @And they gave the word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house.

bbe@Acts:16:33 @And that same hour of the night, he took them, and when he had given attention to their wounds, he and all his family had baptism straight away.

bbe@Acts:16:34 @And he took them into his house and gave them food, and he was full of joy, having faith in God with all his family.

bbe@Acts:16:38 @And the police gave an account of these words to the authorities, and they were full of fear on hearing that they were Romans;

bbe@Acts:16:40 @And they came out of the prison and went to the house of Lydia: and when they had seen the brothers they gave them comfort and went away.

bbe@Acts:17:1 @Now when they had gone through Amphipolis and Apollonia they came to Thessalonica, where there was a Synagogue of the Jews:

bbe@Acts:17:4 @And some of them had faith, and were joined to Paul and Silas; and a number of the God-fearing Greeks, and some of the chief women.

bbe@Acts:17:5 @But the Jews, being moved with envy, took with them certain low persons from among the common people, and getting together a great number of people, made an outcry in the town, attacking the house of Jason with the purpose of taking them out to the people.

bbe@Acts:17:6 @And when they were not able to get them, they took Jason and some of the brothers by force before the rulers of the town, crying, These men, who have made trouble all over the world have now come here;

bbe@Acts:17:7 @Whom Jason has taken into his house: and they are acting against the orders of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus.

bbe@Acts:17:8 @And hearing these things the people and the rulers of the town were troubled.

bbe@Acts:17:10 @And the brothers straight away sent Paul and Silas away by night to Beroea: and they, when they came there, went to the Synagogue of the Jews.

bbe@Acts:17:11 @Now these were more noble than the Jews of Thessalonica, for they gave serious attention to the word, searching in the holy Writings every day, to see if these things were so.

bbe@Acts:17:12 @And a number of them had faith, and no small number of the Greek women of high position and of the men.

bbe@Acts:17:13 @But when the Jews of Thessalonica had news that Paul was preaching the word at Beroea, they came there, troubling the people and working them up.

bbe@Acts:17:16 @Now while Paul was waiting for them at Athens, his spirit was troubled, for he saw all the town full of images of the gods.

bbe@Acts:17:18 @And some of those who were supporters of the theories of the Epicureans and the Stoics, had a meeting with him. And some said, What is this talker of foolish words saying? And others, He seems to be a preacher of strange gods: because he was preaching of Jesus and his coming back from the dead.

bbe@Acts:17:19 @And they took him to Mars' Hill, saying, Will you make clear to us what is this new teaching of yours?

bbe@Acts:17:20 @For you seem to us to say strange things, and we have a desire to get the sense of them.

bbe@Acts:17:21 @(Now all the Athenians and the men from other lands who come there were giving all their time to talking or hearing of anything new.)

bbe@Acts:17:22 @And Paul got to his feet on Mars' Hill and said, O men of Athens, I see that you are overmuch given to fear of the gods.

bbe@Acts:17:23 @For when I came by, I was looking at the things to which you give worship, and I saw an altar with this writing on it, TO THE GOD OF WHOM THERE IS NO KNOWLEDGE

bbe@Acts:17:24 @The God who made the earth and everything in it, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, is not housed in buildings made with hands;

bbe@Acts:17:25 @And he is not dependent on the work of men's hands, as if he had need of anything, for he himself gives to all life and breath and all things;

bbe@Acts:17:26 @And he has made of one blood all the nations of men living on all the face of the earth, ordering their times and the limits of their lands,

bbe@Acts:17:27 @So that they might make search for God, in order, if possible, to get knowledge of him and make discovery of him, though he is not far from every one of us:

bbe@Acts:17:28 @For in him we have life and motion and existence; as certain of your verse writers have said, For we are his offspring.

bbe@Acts:17:29 @If then we are the offspring of God, it is not right for us to have the idea that God is like gold or silver or stone, formed by the art or design of man.

bbe@Acts:17:30 @Those times when men had no knowledge were overlooked by God; but now he gives orders to all men in every place to undergo a change of heart:

bbe@Acts:17:31 @Because a day has been fixed in which all the world will be judged in righteousness by the man who has been marked out by him for this work; of which he has given a sign to all men by giving him back from the dead.

bbe@Acts:17:32 @Now on hearing about the coming back from death, some of them made sport of it, but others said, Let us go more fully into this another time.

bbe@Acts:18:2 @And there he came across a certain Jew named Aquila, a man of Pontus by birth, who not long before had come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had given orders that all Jews were to go away from Rome: and he came to them;

bbe@Acts:18:3 @And because he was of the same trade, he was living with them, and they did their work together; for by trade they were tent-makers.

bbe@Acts:18:7 @And moving from there, he went into the house of a man named Titus Justus, a God-fearing man, whose house was very near the Synagogue.

bbe@Acts:18:8 @And Crispus, the ruler of the Synagogue, with all his family, had faith in the Lord; and a great number of the people of Corinth, hearing the word, had faith and were given baptism.

bbe@Acts:18:10 @For I am with you, and no one will make an attack on you to do you damage: for I have a number of people in this town

bbe@Acts:18:11 @And he was there for a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.

bbe@Acts:18:12 @But when Gallio was ruler of Achaia, all the Jews together made an attack on Paul, and took him to the judge's seat,

bbe@Acts:18:15 @But if it is a question of words or names or of your law, see to it yourselves; I will not be a judge of such things.

bbe@Acts:18:17 @And they all made an attack on Sosthenes, the ruler of the Synagogue, and gave him blows before the judge's seat; but Gallio gave no attention to these things.

bbe@Acts:18:18 @And Paul, after waiting some days, went away from the brothers and went by ship to Syria, Priscilla and Aquila being with him; and he had had his hair cut off in Cenchrea, for he had taken an oath.

bbe@Acts:18:23 @And having been there for some time, he went through the country of Galatia and Phrygia in order, making the disciples strong in the faith.

bbe@Acts:18:24 @Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by birth, and a man of learning, came to Ephesus; and he had great knowledge of the holy Writings.

bbe@Acts:18:25 @This man had been trained in the way of the Lord; and burning in spirit, he gave himself up to teaching the facts about Jesus, though he had knowledge only of John's baptism:

bbe@Acts:18:26 @And he was preaching in the Synagogue without fear. But Priscilla and Aquila, hearing his words, took him in, and gave him fuller teaching about the way of God.

bbe@Acts:19:2 @And he said to them, Did you get the Holy Spirit when you had faith? And they said to him, No, we have had no knowledge of the Holy Spirit.

bbe@Acts:19:3 @And he said, What sort of baptism did you have? And they said, The baptism of John.

bbe@Acts:19:4 @And Paul said, John gave a baptism which goes with a change of heart, saying to the people that they were to have faith in him who was coming after him, that is, in Jesus.

bbe@Acts:19:5 @And hearing this, they had baptism in the name of the Lord Jesus.

bbe@Acts:19:6 @And when Paul had put his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them; and they had the power of talking in tongues, and acting like prophets.

bbe@Acts:19:7 @And there were about twelve of these men.

bbe@Acts:19:8 @And he went into the Synagogue, and for three months he was preaching there without fear, reasoning and teaching about the kingdom of God.

bbe@Acts:19:9 @But because some of the people were hard-hearted and would not give hearing, saying evil words about the Way before the people, he went away from them, and kept the disciples separate, reasoning every day in the school of Tyrannus.

bbe@Acts:19:10 @And this went on for two years, so that all those who were living in Asia had knowledge of the word of the Lord, Greeks as well as Jews

bbe@Acts:19:11 @And God did special works of power by the hands of Paul:

bbe@Acts:19:12 @So that bits of linen and clothing from his body were taken to people who were ill, and their diseases went away from them and the evil spirits went out.

bbe@Acts:19:13 @But some of the Jews who went from place to place driving out evil spirits, took it on themselves to make use of the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying, I give you orders, by Jesus, whom Paul is preaching.

bbe@Acts:19:14 @And there were seven sons of a man named Sceva, a Jew and a chief priest, who did this.

bbe@Acts:19:15 @And the evil spirit, answering, said to them, I have knowledge of Jesus, and of Paul, but who are you?

bbe@Acts:19:16 @And the man in whom the evil spirit was, jumping on them, was stronger than the two of them, and overcame them, so that they went running from that house, wounded and without their clothing.

bbe@Acts:19:17 @And this came to the ears of all those, Jews and Greeks, who were living at Ephesus; and fear came on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was made great.

bbe@Acts:19:18 @And a number of those who had faith came and made a public statement of their sins and all their acts.

bbe@Acts:19:19 @And a great number of those who were experts in strange arts took their books and put them on the fire in front of everyone: and when the books were valued they came to fifty thousand bits of silver.

bbe@Acts:19:20 @So the word of the Lord was increased very greatly and was full of power.

bbe@Acts:19:22 @And having sent two of his helpers, Timothy and Erastus, into Macedonia, he himself went on living in Asia for a time.

bbe@Acts:19:24 @For there was a certain man named Demetrius, a silver-worker, who made silver boxes for the images of Diana, and gave no small profit to the workmen;

bbe@Acts:19:25 @Whom he got together, with other workmen of the same trade, and said to them, Men, it is clear that from this business we get our wealth.

bbe@Acts:19:26 @And you see, for it has come to your ears, that not only at Ephesus, but almost all through Asia, this Paul has been teaching numbers of people and turning them away, saying that those are not gods who are made by men's hands:

bbe@Acts:19:27 @And there is danger, not only that our trade may be damaged in the opinion of men, but that the holy place of the great goddess Diana may be no longer honoured, and that she to whom all Asia and the world give worship, will be put down from her high position.

bbe@Acts:19:28 @And hearing this, they were very angry, crying out and saying, Great is Diana of Ephesus.

bbe@Acts:19:29 @And the town was full of noise and trouble, and they all came running into the theatre, having taken by force Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia who were journeying in company with Paul.

bbe@Acts:19:31 @And some of the rulers of Asia, being his friends, sent to him, requesting him seriously not to put himself in danger by going into the theatre.

bbe@Acts:19:32 @And some said one thing, and some another: for there was no order in the meeting; and most of them had no idea why they had come together.

bbe@Acts:19:34 @But when they saw that he was a Jew, all of them with one voice went on crying out for about two hours, Great is Diana of Ephesus.

bbe@Acts:19:35 @And when the chief secretary had got the people quiet, he said, Men of Ephesus, is any man without knowledge that the town of Ephesus is the keeper of the holy place of the great Diana, who was sent down from Jupiter?

bbe@Acts:19:40 @For, truly, we are in danger of being made responsible for this day's trouble, there being no cause for it: and we are not able to give any reason for this coming together.

bbe@Acts:20:4 @And Sopater of Beroea, the son of Pyrrhus, and Aristarchus and Secundus of Thessalonica, and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy, and Tychicus and Trophimus of Asia, went with him as far as Asia.

bbe@Acts:20:6 @And we went away from Philippi by ship after the days of unleavened bread, and came to them at Troas in five days; and we were there for seven days.

bbe@Acts:20:7 @And on the first day of the week, when we had come together for the holy meal, Paul gave them a talk, for it was his purpose to go away on the day after; and he went on talking till after the middle of the night.

bbe@Acts:20:8 @And there were a number of lights in the room where we had come together.

bbe@Acts:20:13 @But we, going before him by ship, went to Assos with the purpose of taking Paul in there: for so he had given orders, because he himself was coming by land.

bbe@Acts:20:16 @For Paul's purpose was to go past Ephesus, so that he might not be kept in Asia; for he was going quickly, in order, if possible, to be at Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost.

bbe@Acts:20:17 @And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus for the rulers of the church.

bbe@Acts:20:19 @Doing the Lord's work without pride, through all the sorrow and troubles which came on me because of the evil designs of the Jews:

bbe@Acts:20:20 @And how I kept back nothing which might be of profit to you, teaching you publicly and privately,

bbe@Acts:20:21 @Preaching to Jews and to Greeks the need for a turning of the heart to God, and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

bbe@Acts:20:22 @And now, as you see, I am going to Jerusalem, a prisoner in spirit, having no knowledge of what will come to me there:

bbe@Acts:20:24 @But I put no value on my life, if only at the end of it I may see the work complete which was given to me by the Lord Jesus, to be a witness of the good news of the grace of God.

bbe@Acts:20:26 @And so I say to you this day that I am clean from the blood of all men.

bbe@Acts:20:27 @For I have not kept back from you anything of the purpose of God.

bbe@Acts:20:28 @Give attention to yourselves, and to all the flock which the Holy Spirit has given into your care, to give food to the church of God, for which he gave his blood.

bbe@Acts:20:31 @So keep watch, having in mind that for three years without resting I was teaching every one of you, day and night, with weeping.

bbe@Acts:20:32 @And now, I give you into the care of God and the word of his grace, which is able to make you strong and to give you your heritage among all the saints.

bbe@Acts:20:35 @In all things I was an example to you of how, in your lives, you are to give help to the feeble, and keep in memory the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, There is a greater blessing in giving than in getting.

bbe@Acts:20:38 @Being sad most of all because he had said that they would not see his face again. And so they went with him to the ship.

bbe@Acts:21:3 @And when we had come in view of Cyprus, going past it on our left, we went on to Syria, and came to land at Tyre: for there the goods which were in the ship had to be taken out.

bbe@Acts:21:5 @And when these days came to an end, we went on our journey; and they all, with their wives and children, came with us on our way till we were out of the town: and after going on our knees in prayer by the sea,

bbe@Acts:21:8 @And on the day after, we went away and came to Caesarea, where we were guests in the house of Philip, the preacher, who was one of the seven.

bbe@Acts:21:11 @And he came to us, and took the band of Paul's clothing, and putting it round his feet and hands, said, The Holy Spirit says these words, So will the Jews do to the man who is the owner of this band, and they will give him up into the hands of the Gentiles.

bbe@Acts:21:13 @Then Paul said, What are you doing, weeping and wounding my heart? for I am ready, not only to be a prisoner, but to be put to death at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.

bbe@Acts:21:14 @And as he might not be moved we did no more, saying, Let the purpose of God be done

bbe@Acts:21:16 @And some of the disciples from Caesarea went with us, taking a certain Mnason of Cyprus, one of the early disciples, in whose house we were to be living.

bbe@Acts:21:18 @And on the day after, Paul went with us to James, and all the rulers of the church were present.

bbe@Acts:21:19 @And when he had said how glad he was to see them, he gave them a detailed account of the things which God had done through his work among the Gentiles.

bbe@Acts:21:21 @And they have had news of you, how you have been teaching all the Jews among the Gentiles to give up the law of Moses, and not to give circumcision to their children, and not to keep the old rules.

bbe@Acts:21:25 @But as to the Gentiles who have the faith, we sent a letter, giving our decision that they were to keep themselves from offerings made to false gods, and from blood, and from the flesh of animals put to death in ways against the law, and from the evil desires of the body.

bbe@Acts:21:26 @Then Paul took the men, and on the day after, making himself clean with them, he went into the Temple, giving out the statement that the days necessary for making them clean were complete, till the offering was made for every one of them.

bbe@Acts:21:28 @Crying out, Men of Israel, come to our help: this is the man who is teaching all men everywhere against the people and the law and this place: and in addition, he has taken Greeks into the Temple, and made this holy place unclean.

bbe@Acts:21:29 @For they had seen him before in the town with Trophimus of Ephesus, and had the idea that Paul had taken him with him into the Temple.

bbe@Acts:21:30 @And all the town was moved, and the people came running together and put their hands on Paul, pulling him out of the Temple: and then the doors were shut.

bbe@Acts:21:31 @And while they were attempting to put him to death, news came to the chief captain of the band that all Jerusalem was out of control.

bbe@Acts:21:34 @And some said one thing and some another, among the people: and as he was not able to get a knowledge of the facts because of the noise, he gave orders for Paul to be taken into the army building.

bbe@Acts:21:35 @And when he came on to the steps, he was lifted up by the armed men, because of the force of the people;

bbe@Acts:21:36 @For a great mass of people came after them, crying out, Away with him!

bbe@Acts:21:37 @And when Paul was about to be taken into the building, he said to the chief captain, May I say something to you? And he said, Have you a knowledge of Greek?

bbe@Acts:21:38 @Are you by chance the Egyptian who, before this, got the people worked up against the government and took four thousand men of the Assassins out into the waste land?

bbe@Acts:21:39 @But Paul said, I am a Jew of Tarsus in Cilicia, which is not an unimportant town: I make a request to you to let me say a word to the people.

bbe@Acts:22:1 @My brothers and fathers, give ear to the story of my life which I now put before you.

bbe@Acts:22:3 @I am a Jew of Tarsus in Cilicia by birth, but I had my education in this town at the feet of Gamaliel, being trained in the keeping of every detail of the law of our fathers; given up to the cause of God with all my heart, as you are today.

bbe@Acts:22:5 @Of which the high priest will be a witness, and all the rulers, from whom I had letters to the brothers; and I went into Damascus, to take those who were there as prisoners to Jerusalem for punishment.

bbe@Acts:22:6 @And it came about that while I was on my journey, coming near to Damascus, about the middle of the day, suddenly I saw a great light from heaven shining round me.

bbe@Acts:22:8 @And I, answering, said, Who are you; Lord? And he said to me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you are attacking.

bbe@Acts:22:9 @And those who were with me saw the light, but the voice of him who was talking to me came not to their ears.

bbe@Acts:22:11 @And because I was unable to see because of the glory of that light, those who were with me took me by the hand, and so I came to Damascus.

bbe@Acts:22:12 @And one Ananias, a God-fearing man, who kept the law, and of whom all the Jews in that place had a high opinion,

bbe@Acts:22:14 @And he said, You have been marked out by the God of our fathers to have knowledge of his purpose, and to see the Upright One and to give ear to the words of his mouth.

bbe@Acts:22:15 @For you will be a witness for him to all men of what you have seen and of what has come to your ears.

bbe@Acts:22:16 @And now, why are you waiting? get up, and have baptism, for the washing away of your sins, giving worship to his name

bbe@Acts:22:18 @And I saw him saying to me, Go out of Jerusalem straight away because they will not give hearing to your witness about me.

bbe@Acts:22:20 @And when Stephen your witness was put to death, I was there, giving approval, and looking after the clothing of those who put him to death.

bbe@Acts:22:23 @And while they were crying out, and pulling off their clothing, and sending dust into the air,

bbe@Acts:22:24 @The chief captain gave orders for him to be taken into the army building, saying that he would put him to the test by whipping, so that he might have knowledge of the reason why they were crying out so violently against him.

bbe@Acts:22:26 @And hearing this, the man went to the chief captain and gave him an account of it, saying, What are you about to do? for this man is a Roman.

bbe@Acts:22:30 @But on the day after, desiring to have certain knowledge of what the Jews had to say against him, he made him free, and gave orders for the chief priests and all the Sanhedrin to come together, and he took Paul and put him before them.

bbe@Acts:23:5 @And Paul said, Brother, I had no idea that he was the high priest: for it has been said, You may not say evil about the ruler of your people.

bbe@Acts:23:6 @But when Paul saw that half of them were Sadducees and the rest Pharisees, he said in the Sanhedrin, Brothers, I am a Pharisee, and the son of Pharisees: I am here to be judged on the question of the hope of the coming back from the dead.

bbe@Acts:23:9 @And there was a great outcry: and some of the scribes on the side of the Pharisees got up and took part in the discussion, saying, We see no evil in this man: what if he has had a revelation from an angel or a spirit?

bbe@Acts:23:11 @And the night after, the Lord came to his side and said, Be of good heart, for as you have been witnessing for me in Jerusalem, so will you be my witness in Rome.

bbe@Acts:23:13 @And more than forty of them took this oath.

bbe@Acts:23:16 @But Paul's sister's son had word of their design, and he came into the army building and gave news of it to Paul.

bbe@Acts:23:21 @But do not give way to them, for more than forty of them are waiting for him, having taken an oath not to take food or drink till they have put him to death: and now they are ready, waiting for your order.

bbe@Acts:23:22 @So the chief captain let the young man go, saying to him, Do not say to anyone that you have given me word of these things.

bbe@Acts:23:23 @And he sent for two captains and said, Make ready two hundred men, with seventy horsemen and two hundred spearmen, to go to Caesarea, at the third hour of the night:

bbe@Acts:23:27 @This man was taken by the Jews, and was about to be put to death by them, when I came on them with the army and took him out of danger, having knowledge that he was a Roman.

bbe@Acts:23:29 @Then it became clear to me that it was a question of their law, and that nothing was said against him which might be a reason for prison or death.

bbe@Acts:23:34 @And after reading it, he said, What part of the country do you come from? And, hearing that he was from Cilicia,

bbe@Acts:24:1 @And after five days, the high priest, Ananias, came with certain of the rulers, and an expert talker, one Tertullus; and they made a statement to Felix against Paul.

bbe@Acts:24:3 @In all things and in all places we are conscious of our great debt to you, most noble Felix.

bbe@Acts:24:4 @But, so that I may not make you tired, I make a request to you of your mercy, to give hearing to a short statement.

bbe@Acts:24:5 @For this man, in our opinion, is a cause of trouble, a maker of attacks on the government among Jews through all the empire, and a chief mover in the society of the Nazarenes:

bbe@Acts:24:8 @And from whom you will be able, by questioning him yourself, to get knowledge of all the things which we say against him.

bbe@Acts:24:10 @Then when the ruler had given him a sign to make his answer, Paul said, Because I have knowledge that you have been a judge over this nation for a number of years, I am glad to make my answer:

bbe@Acts:24:11 @Seeing that you are able to make certain of the fact that it is not more than twelve days from the time when I came up to Jerusalem for worship;

bbe@Acts:24:12 @And they have not seen me in argument with any man in the Temple, or working up the feelings of the people, in the Synagogues or in the town:

bbe@Acts:24:13 @And they are not able to give facts in support of the things which they say against me now.

bbe@Acts:24:14 @But this I will say openly to you, that I do give worship to the God of our fathers after that Way, which to them is not the true religion: but I have belief in all the things which are in the law and in the books of the prophets:

bbe@Acts:24:17 @Now after a number of years I came to give help and offerings to my nation:

bbe@Acts:24:18 @And having been made clean, I was in the Temple, but not with a great number of people, and not with noise: but there were certain Jews from Asia,

bbe@Acts:24:21 @But only this one thing which I said among them in a loud voice, I am this day being judged on the question of the coming back from the dead.

bbe@Acts:24:22 @But Felix, who had a more detailed knowledge of the Way, put them off, saying, When Lysias, the chief captain, comes down, I will give attention to your business.

bbe@Acts:24:23 @And he gave orders to the captain to keep Paul under his control, and to let him have everything he had need of; and not to keep his friends from coming to see him.

bbe@Acts:24:24 @But after some days, Felix came with Drusilla his wife, who was of the Jews by birth, and sent for Paul, and gave hearing to him about faith in Christ Jesus.

bbe@Acts:24:27 @But after two years Porcius Festus took the place of Felix, who, desiring to have the approval of the Jews, kept Paul in chains.

bbe@Acts:25:1 @So Festus, having come into that part of the country which was under his rule, after three days went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea.

bbe@Acts:25:2 @And the chief priests and the chief men of the Jews made statements against Paul,

bbe@Acts:25:7 @And when he came, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem came round him, and made all sorts of serious statements against him, which were not supported by the facts.

bbe@Acts:25:8 @Then Paul, in his answer to them, said, I have done no wrong against the law of the Jews, or against the Temple, or against Caesar.

bbe@Acts:25:9 @But Festus, desiring to get the approval of the Jews, said to Paul, Will you go up to Jerusalem, and be judged before me there in connection with these things?

bbe@Acts:25:10 @And Paul said, I am before the seat of Caesar's authority where it is right for me to be judged: I have done no wrong to the Jews, as you are well able to see.

bbe@Acts:25:11 @If, then, I am a wrongdoer and there is a cause of death in me, I am ready for death: if it is not as they say against me, no man may give me up to them. Let my cause come before Caesar.

bbe@Acts:25:15 @Against whom the chief priests and the rulers of the Jews made a statement when I was at Jerusalem, requesting me to give a decision against him.

bbe@Acts:25:20 @And as I had not enough knowledge for the discussion of these things, I made the suggestion to him to go to Jerusalem and be judged there.

bbe@Acts:25:23 @So on the day after, when Agrippa and Bernice in great glory had come into the public place of hearing, with the chief of the army and the chief men of the town, at the order of Festus, Paul was sent for.

bbe@Acts:25:25 @But, in my opinion, there is no cause of death in him, and as he himself has made a request to be judged by Caesar, I have said that I would send him.

bbe@Acts:25:26 @But I have no certain account of him to send to Caesar. So I have sent for him to come before you, and specially before you, King Agrippa, so that after the business has been gone into, I may have something to put in writing.

bbe@Acts:26:4 @All the Jews have knowledge of my way of life from my early years, as it was from the start among my nation, and at Jerusalem;

bbe@Acts:26:5 @And they are able to say, if they would give witness, that I was living as a Pharisee, in that division of our religion which is most regular in the keeping of the law.

bbe@Acts:26:6 @And now I am here to be judged because of the hope given by God's word to our fathers;

bbe@Acts:26:7 @For the effecting of which our twelve tribes have been working and waiting night and day with all their hearts. And in connection with this hope I am attacked by the Jews, O king!

bbe@Acts:26:9 @For I, truly, was of the opinion that it was right for me to do a number of things against the name of Jesus of Nazareth.

bbe@Acts:26:10 @And this I did in Jerusalem: and numbers of the saints I put in prison, having had authority given to me from the chief priests, and when they were put to death, I gave my decision against them.

bbe@Acts:26:12 @Then, when I was journeying to Damascus with the authority and orders of the chief priests,

bbe@Acts:26:13 @In the middle of the day, on the road I saw a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, shining round me and those who were journeying with me.

bbe@Acts:26:16 @But get up on your feet: for I have come to you for this purpose, to make you a servant and a witness of the things in which you have seen me, and of those in which you will see me;

bbe@Acts:26:18 @To make their eyes open, turning them from the dark to the light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may have forgiveness of sins and a heritage among those who are made holy by faith in me.

bbe@Acts:26:20 @But I went about, first to those in Damascus and Jerusalem, and through all the country of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, preaching a change of heart, so that they, being turned to God, might give, in their works, the fruits of a changed heart.

bbe@Acts:26:24 @And when he made his answer in these words, Festus said in a loud voice, Paul, you are off your head; your great learning has made you unbalanced.

bbe@Acts:26:25 @Then Paul said, I am not off my head, most noble Festus, but my words are true and wise.

bbe@Acts:26:26 @For the king has knowledge of these things, to whom I am talking freely; being certain that all this is common knowledge to him; for it has not been done in secret.

bbe@Acts:27:1 @And when the decision had been made that we were to go by sea to Italy, they gave Paul and certain other prisoners into the care of a captain named Julius, of the Augustan band.

bbe@Acts:27:2 @And we went to sea in a ship of Adramyttium which was sailing to the sea towns of Asia, Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.

bbe@Acts:27:4 @And sailing again from there, we went on under cover of Cyprus, because the wind was against us.

bbe@Acts:27:5 @And having gone across the sea off Cilicia and Pamphylia we came to Myra, in Lycia.

bbe@Acts:27:6 @And there the captain came across a ship of Alexandria, sailing for Italy, and put us in it.

bbe@Acts:27:7 @And when we had gone on slowly for a long time, and had had hard work getting across to Cnidus, for the wind was against us, we went under cover of Crete, in the direction of Salmone;

bbe@Acts:27:8 @And sailing down the side of it, as well as we were able, we came to a certain place named Fair Havens, near which was the town of Lasea.

bbe@Acts:27:9 @And as a long time had gone by, and the journey was now full of danger, because it was late in the year, Paul put the position before them,

bbe@Acts:27:10 @Saying, Friends, I see that this journey will be one of great damage and loss, not only to the goods and the ship, but to ourselves.

bbe@Acts:27:11 @But the captain gave more attention to the master and the owner of the ship than to what Paul said.

bbe@Acts:27:12 @And as the harbour was not a good one in which to be for the winter, the greater number of them were for going out to sea, in order, if possible, to put in for the winter at Phoenix, a harbour of Crete, looking to the north-east and south-east.

bbe@Acts:27:13 @And when the south wind came softly, being of the opinion that their purpose might be effected, they let the ship go and went sailing down the side of Crete, very near to the land

bbe@Acts:27:15 @And when the ship got into the grip of it, and was not able to make headway into the wind, we gave way, and went before it.

bbe@Acts:27:16 @And, sailing near the side of a small island named Cauda, we were able, though it was hard work, to make the ship's boat safe:

bbe@Acts:27:18 @And, still fighting the storm with all our strength, the day after they made a start at getting the goods out of the ship;

bbe@Acts:27:20 @And as we had not seen the sun or stars for a long time, and a great storm was on us, all hope of salvation was gone.

bbe@Acts:27:22 @But now, I say to you, be of good heart, for there will be no loss of life, but only of the ship.

bbe@Acts:27:23 @For this night there came to my side an angel of the God who is my Master and whose servant I am,

bbe@Acts:27:25 @And so, O men, be of good heart, for I have faith in God that it will be as he said to me.

bbe@Acts:27:27 @But when the fourteenth day came, while we were going here and there in the Adriatic sea, about the middle of the night the sailors had an idea that they were getting near land;

bbe@Acts:27:29 @Then, fearing that by chance we might come on to the rocks, they let down four hooks from the back of the ship, and made prayers for the coming of day.

bbe@Acts:27:30 @Then the sailors made attempts secretly to get away from the ship, letting down a boat as if they were about to put down hooks from the front of the ship;

bbe@Acts:27:32 @Then the armed men, cutting the cords of the boat, let her go.

bbe@Acts:27:34 @So I make request to you to take food; for this is for your salvation: not a hair from the head of any of you will come to destruction.

bbe@Acts:27:35 @And when he had said this and had taken bread, he gave praise to God before them all, and took a meal of the broken bread.

bbe@Acts:27:38 @And when they had had enough food, they made the weight of the ship less, turning the grain out into the sea.

bbe@Acts:27:39 @And when it was day, they had no knowledge of the land, but they saw an inlet of the sea with a floor of sand, and they had the idea of driving the ship up on to it if possible.

bbe@Acts:27:40 @So cutting away the hooks, and letting them go into the sea, and freeing the cords of the guiding-blades, and lifting up the sail to the wind, they went in the direction of the inlet.

bbe@Acts:27:41 @And coming to a point between two seas, they got the ship to land; and the front part was fixed in the sand and not able to be moved, but the back part was broken by the force of the waves.

bbe@Acts:27:43 @But the captain, desiring to keep Paul safe, kept them from their purpose, and gave orders that those who had knowledge of swimming were to go off the ship and get first to land:

bbe@Acts:28:3 @But when Paul had got some sticks together and put them on the fire, a snake came out, because of the heat, and gave him a bite on the hand.

bbe@Acts:28:5 @But shaking off the beast into the fire, he got no damage.

bbe@Acts:28:7 @Now near that place there was some land, the property of the chief man of the island, who was named Publius; who very kindly took us into his house as his guests for three days.

bbe@Acts:28:8 @And the father of Publius was ill, with a disease of the stomach; to whom Paul went, and put his hands on him, with prayer, and made him well.

bbe@Acts:28:10 @Then they gave us great honour, and, when we went away, they put into the ship whatever things we were in need of.

bbe@Acts:28:11 @And after three months we went to sea in a ship of Alexandria sailing under the sign of the Dioscuri, which had been at the island for the winter.

bbe@Acts:28:14 @Where we came across some of the brothers, who kept us with them for seven days; and so we came to Rome.

bbe@Acts:28:15 @And the brothers, when they had news of us, came out from town as far as Appii Forum and the Three Taverns to have a meeting with us: and Paul, seeing them, gave praise to God and took heart

bbe@Acts:28:17 @Then after three days he sent for the chief men of the Jews: and when they had come together, he said to them, My brothers, though I had done nothing against the people or the ways of our fathers, I was given, a prisoner from Jerusalem, into the hands of the Romans.

bbe@Acts:28:18 @Who, when they had put questions to me, were ready to let me go free, because there was no cause of death in me.

bbe@Acts:28:20 @But for this reason I sent for you, to see and have talk with you: for because of the hope of Israel I am in these chains.

bbe@Acts:28:21 @And they said to him, We have not had letters from Judaea about you, and no one of the brothers has come to us here to give an account or say any evil about you.

bbe@Acts:28:22 @But we have a desire to give hearing to your opinion: for as to this form of religion, we have knowledge that in all places it is attacked.

bbe@Acts:28:23 @And when a day had been fixed, they came to his house in great numbers; and he gave them teaching, giving witness to the kingdom of God, and having discussions with them about Jesus, from the law of Moses and from the prophets, from morning till evening.

bbe@Acts:28:27 @For the heart of this people has become fat and their ears are slow in hearing and their eyes are shut; for fear that they might see with their eyes and give hearing with their ears and become wise in their hearts and be turned again to me, so that I might make them well.

bbe@Acts:28:28 @Be certain, then, that the salvation of God is sent to the Gentiles, and they will give hearing.

bbe@Acts:28:30 @And for the space of two years, Paul was living in the house of which he had the use, and had talk with all those who went in to see him,

bbe@Acts:28:31 @Preaching the kingdom of God and teaching about the Lord Jesus Christ without fear, and no orders were given that he was not to do so.

bbe@Romans:1:1 @Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, an Apostle by the selection of God, given authority as a preacher of the good news,

bbe@Romans:1:2 @Of which God had given word before by his prophets in the holy Writings,

bbe@Romans:1:3 @About his Son who, in the flesh, came from the family of David,

bbe@Romans:1:4 @But was marked out as Son of God in power by the Holy Spirit through the coming to life again of the dead; Jesus Christ our Lord,

bbe@Romans:1:6 @Among whom you in the same way have been marked out to be disciples of Jesus Christ:

bbe@Romans:1:8 @First of all, I give praise to my God through Jesus Christ for you all, because news of your faith has gone into all the world.

bbe@Romans:1:9 @For God is my witness, whose servant I am in spirit in the good news of his Son, that you are at all times in my memory and in my prayers,

bbe@Romans:1:11 @For I have a strong desire to see you, and to give you some grace of the spirit, so that you may be made strong;

bbe@Romans:1:12 @That is to say, that all of us may be comforted together by the faith which is in you and in me.

bbe@Romans:1:15 @For which reason I have the desire, as far as I am able, to give the knowledge of the good news to you who are in Rome.

bbe@Romans:1:16 @For I have no feeling of shame about the good news, because it is the power of God giving salvation to everyone who has faith, to the Jew first, and then to the Greek.

bbe@Romans:1:17 @For in it there is the revelation of the righteousness of God from faith to faith: as it is said in the holy Writings, The man who does righteousness will be living by his faith.

bbe@Romans:1:18 @For there is a revelation of the wrath of God from heaven against all the wrongdoing and evil thoughts of men who keep down what is true by wrongdoing;

bbe@Romans:1:19 @Because the knowledge of God may be seen in them, God having made it clear to them.

bbe@Romans:1:20 @For from the first making of the world, those things of God which the eye is unable to see, that is, his eternal power and existence, are fully made clear, he having given the knowledge of them through the things which he has made, so that men have no reason for wrongdoing:

bbe@Romans:1:21 @Because, having the knowledge of God, they did not give glory to God as God, and did not give praise, but their minds were full of foolish things, and their hearts, being without sense, were made dark.

bbe@Romans:1:23 @And by them the glory of the eternal God was changed and made into the image of man who is not eternal, and of birds and beasts and things which go on the earth.

bbe@Romans:1:24 @For this reason God gave them up to the evil desires of their hearts, working shame in their bodies with one another:

bbe@Romans:1:25 @Because by them the true word of God was changed into that which is false, and they gave worship and honour to the thing which is made, and not to him who made it, to whom be blessing for ever. So be it.

bbe@Romans:1:27 @And in the same way the men gave up the natural use of the woman and were burning in their desire for one another, men doing shame with men, and getting in their bodies the right reward of their evil-doing.

bbe@Romans:1:29 @Being full of all wrongdoing, evil, desire for the goods of others, hate, envy, putting to death, fighting, deceit, cruel ways, evil talk, and false statements about others;

bbe@Romans:1:30 @Hated by God, full of pride, without respect, full of loud talk, given to evil inventions, not honouring father or mother,

bbe@Romans:1:32 @Who, though they have knowledge of the law of God, that the fate of those who do these things is death, not only go on doing these things themselves, but give approval to those who do them.

bbe@Romans:2:4 @Or is it nothing to you that God had pity on you, waiting and putting up with you for so long, not seeing that in his pity God's desire is to give you a change of heart?

bbe@Romans:2:5 @But by your hard and unchanged heart you are storing up wrath for yourself in the day of the revelation of God's judging in righteousness;

bbe@Romans:2:7 @To those who go on with good works in the hope of glory and honour and salvation from death, he will give eternal life:

bbe@Romans:2:8 @But to those who, from a love of competition, are not guided by what is true, will come the heat of his wrath,

bbe@Romans:2:13 @For it is not the hearers of the law who will be judged as having righteousness before God, but only the doers:

bbe@Romans:2:15 @Because the work of the law is seen in their hearts, their sense of right and wrong giving witness to it, while their minds are at one time judging them and at another giving them approval;

bbe@Romans:2:16 @In the day when God will be a judge of the secrets of men, as it says in the good news of which I am a preacher, through Jesus Christ.

bbe@Romans:2:17 @But as for you who have the name of Jew, and are resting on the law, and take pride in God,

bbe@Romans:2:18 @And have knowledge of his desires, and are a judge of the things which are different, having the learning of the law,

bbe@Romans:2:20 @A teacher of the foolish, having in the law the form of knowledge and of what is true;

bbe@Romans:2:22 @You who say that a man may not be untrue to his wife, are you true to yours? you who are a hater of images, do you do wrong to the house of God?

bbe@Romans:2:23 @You who take pride in the law, are you doing wrong to the honour of God by behaviour which is against the law?

bbe@Romans:2:24 @For the name of God is shamed among the Gentiles because of you, as it is said in the holy Writings.

bbe@Romans:2:25 @It is true that circumcision is of use if you keep the law, but if you go against the law it is as if you had it not.

bbe@Romans:2:26 @If those who have not circumcision keep the rules of the law, will it not be credited to them as circumcision?

bbe@Romans:2:27 @And they, by their keeping of the law without circumcision, will be judges of you, by whom the law is broken though you have the letter of the law and circumcision.

bbe@Romans:2:29 @But he is a Jew who is a secret one, whose circumcision is of the heart, in the spirit and not in the letter; whose praise is not from men, but from God.

bbe@Romans:3:1 @How then is the Jew better off? or what profit is there in circumcision?

bbe@Romans:3:2 @Much in every way: first of all because the words of God were given to them.

bbe@Romans:3:3 @And if some have no faith, will that make the faith of God without effect?

bbe@Romans:3:5 @But if the righteousness of God is supported by our wrongdoing what is to be said? is it wrong for God to be angry (as men may say)?

bbe@Romans:3:6 @In no way: because if it is so, how is God able to be the judge of all the world?

bbe@Romans:3:9 @What then? are we worse off than they? In no way: because we have before made it clear that Jews as well as Greeks are all under the power of sin;

bbe@Romans:3:11 @Not one who has the knowledge of what is right, not one who is a searcher after God;

bbe@Romans:3:12 @They have all gone out of the way, there is no profit in any of them; there is not one who does good, not so much as one:

bbe@Romans:3:13 @Their throat is like an open place of death; with their tongues they have said what is not true: the poison of snakes is under their lips:

bbe@Romans:3:14 @Whose mouth is full of curses and bitter words:

bbe@Romans:3:17 @And of the way of peace they have no knowledge:

bbe@Romans:3:18 @There is no fear of God before their eyes.

bbe@Romans:3:20 @Because by the works of the law no man is able to have righteousness in his eyes, for through the law comes the knowledge of sin.

bbe@Romans:3:21 @But now without the law there is a revelation of the righteousness of God, to which witness is given by the law and the prophets;

bbe@Romans:3:22 @That is, the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ, to all those who have faith; and one man is not different from another,

bbe@Romans:3:23 @For all have done wrong and are far from the glory of God;

bbe@Romans:3:25 @Whom God has put forward as the sign of his mercy, through faith, by his blood, to make clear his righteousness when, in his pity, God let the sins of earlier times go without punishment;

bbe@Romans:3:27 @What reason, then, is there for pride? It is shut out. By what sort of law? of works? No, but by a law of faith.

bbe@Romans:3:28 @For this reason, then, a man may get righteousness by faith without the works of the law.

bbe@Romans:3:29 @Or is God the God of Jews only? is he not in the same way the God of Gentiles? Yes, of Gentiles:

bbe@Romans:3:30 @If God is one; and he will give righteousness because of faith to those who have circumcision, and through faith to those who have not circumcision.

bbe@Romans:3:31 @Do we, then, through faith make the law of no effect? in no way: but we make it clear that the law is important.

bbe@Romans:4:4 @Now, the reward is credited to him who does works, not as of grace but as a debt.

bbe@Romans:4:9 @Is this blessing, then, for the circumcision only, or in the same way for those who have not circumcision? for we say that the faith of Abraham was put to his account as righteousness.

bbe@Romans:4:11 @And he was given the sign of circumcision as a witness of the faith which he had before he underwent circumcision: so that he might be the father of all those who have faith, though they have not circumcision, and so that righteousness might be put to their account;

bbe@Romans:4:12 @And the father of circumcision to those who not only are of the circumcision, but who keep to the way of that faith which our father Abraham had before he underwent circumcision.

bbe@Romans:4:13 @For God's word, that the earth would be his heritage, was given to Abraham, not through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.

bbe@Romans:4:14 @For if they who are of the law are the people who get the heritage, then faith is made of no use, and the word of God has no power;

bbe@Romans:4:15 @For the outcome of the law is wrath; but where there is no law it will not be broken.

bbe@Romans:4:16 @For this reason it is of faith, so that it may be through grace; and so that the word of God may be certain to all the seed; not only to that which is of the law, but to that which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all,

bbe@Romans:4:17 @(As it is said in the holy Writings, I have made you a father of a number of nations) before him in whom he had faith, that is, God, who gives life to the dead, and to whom the things which are not are as if they were.

bbe@Romans:4:18 @Who without reason for hope, in faith went on hoping, so that he became the father of a number of nations, as it had been said, So will your seed be.

bbe@Romans:4:20 @Still, he did not give up faith in the undertaking of God, but was made strong by faith, giving glory to God,

bbe@Romans:4:23 @Now, it was not because of him only that this was said,

bbe@Romans:5:2 @Through whom, in the same way, we have been able by faith to come to this grace in which we now are; and let us have joy in hope of the glory of God.

bbe@Romans:5:3 @And not only so, but let us have joy in our troubles: in the knowledge that trouble gives us the power of waiting;

bbe@Romans:5:5 @And hope does not put to shame; because our hearts are full of the love of God through the Holy Spirit which is given to us.

bbe@Romans:5:9 @Much more, if we now have righteousness by his blood, will salvation from the wrath of God come to us through him.

bbe@Romans:5:10 @For if, when we were haters of God, the death of his Son made us at peace with him, much more, now that we are his friends, will we have salvation through his life;

bbe@Romans:5:12 @For this reason, as through one man sin came into the world, and death because of sin, and so death came to all men, because all have done evil:

bbe@Romans:5:13 @Because, till the law came, sin was in existence, but sin is not put to the account of anyone when there is no law to be broken.

bbe@Romans:5:14 @But still death had power from Adam till Moses, even over those who had not done wrong like Adam, who is a picture of him who was to come.

bbe@Romans:5:15 @But the free giving of God is not like the wrongdoing of man. For if, by the wrongdoing of one man death came to numbers of men, much more did the grace of God, and the free giving by the grace of one man, Jesus Christ, come to men.

bbe@Romans:5:16 @And the free giving has not the same effect as the sin of one: for the effect of one man's sin was punishment by the decision of God, but the free giving had power to give righteousness to wrongdoers in great number.

bbe@Romans:5:17 @For, if by the wrongdoing of one, death was ruling through the one, much more will those to whom has come the wealth of grace and the giving of righteousness, be ruling in life through the one, even Jesus Christ.

bbe@Romans:5:18 @So then, as the effect of one act of wrongdoing was that punishment came on all men, even so the effect of one act of righteousness was righteousness of life for all men.

bbe@Romans:5:19 @Because, as numbers of men became sinners through the wrongdoing of one man, even so will great numbers get righteousness through the keeping of the word of God by one man.

bbe@Romans:6:4 @We have been placed with him among the dead through baptism into death: so that as Christ came again from the dead by the glory of the Father, we, in the same way, might be living in new life.

bbe@Romans:6:6 @Being conscious that our old man was put to death on the cross with him, so that the body of sin might be put away, and we might no longer be servants to sin.

bbe@Romans:6:12 @For this cause do not let sin be ruling in your body which is under the power of death, so that you give way to its desires;

bbe@Romans:6:13 @And do not give your bodies to sin as the instruments of wrongdoing, but give yourselves to God, as those who are living from the dead, and your bodies as instruments of righteousness to God.

bbe@Romans:6:16 @Are you not conscious that you are the servants of him to whom you give yourselves to do his desire? if to sin, the end being death, or if to do the desire of God, the end being righteousness.

bbe@Romans:6:17 @But praise be to God that though you were the servants of sin, you have now given yourselves freely to that form of teaching under which you were placed;

bbe@Romans:6:18 @And being made free from sin you have been made the servants of righteousness.

bbe@Romans:6:19 @I am using words in the way of men, because your flesh is feeble: as you gave your bodies as servants to what is unclean, and to evil to do evil, so now give them as servants to righteousness to do what is holy.

bbe@Romans:6:20 @When you were servants of sin you were free from righteousness.

bbe@Romans:6:21 @What fruit had you at that time in the things which are now a shame to you? for the end of such things is death.

bbe@Romans:6:23 @For the reward of sin is death; but what God freely gives is eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord.

bbe@Romans:7:1 @Is it not clear, my brothers (I am using an argument to those who have knowledge of the law), that the law has power over a man as long as he is living?

bbe@Romans:7:2 @For the woman who has a husband is placed by the law under the power of her husband as long as he is living; but if her husband is dead, she is free from the law of the husband.

bbe@Romans:7:3 @So if, while the husband is living, she is joined to another man, she will get the name of one who is untrue to her husband: but if the husband is dead, she is free from the law, so that she is not untrue, even if she takes another man.

bbe@Romans:7:4 @In the same way, my brothers, you were made dead to the law through the body of Christ, so that you might be joined to another, even to him who came again from the dead, so that we might give fruit to God.

bbe@Romans:7:5 @For when we were in the flesh, the evil passions which came into being through the law were working in our bodies to give the fruit of death.

bbe@Romans:7:6 @But now we are free from the law, having been made dead to that which had power over us; so that we are servants in the new way of the spirit, not in the old way of the letter.

bbe@Romans:7:7 @What then is to be said? is the law sin? in no way. But I would not have had knowledge of sin but for the law: for I would not have been conscious of desire if the law had not said, You may not have a desire for what is another's.

bbe@Romans:7:8 @But sin, taking its chance through that which was ordered by the law, was working in me every form of desire: because without the law sin is dead.

bbe@Romans:7:10 @And I made the discovery that the law whose purpose was to give life had become a cause of death:

bbe@Romans:7:13 @Was then that which is good, death to me? In no way. But the purpose was that sin might be seen to be sin by working death to me through that which is good; so that through the orders of the law sin might seem much more evil.

bbe@Romans:7:14 @For we are conscious that the law is of the spirit; but I am of the flesh, given into the power of sin.

bbe@Romans:7:15 @And I have no clear knowledge of what I am doing, for that which I have a mind to do, I do not, but what I have hate for, that I do.

bbe@Romans:7:22 @In my heart I take pleasure in the law of God,

bbe@Romans:7:23 @But I see another law in my body, working against the law of my mind, and making me the servant of the law of sin which is in my flesh.

bbe@Romans:7:24 @How unhappy am I! who will make me free from the body of this death?

bbe@Romans:7:25 @I give praise to God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So with my mind I am a servant to the law of God, but with my flesh to the law of sin.

bbe@Romans:8:2 @For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.

bbe@Romans:8:3 @For what the law was not able to do because it was feeble through the flesh, God, sending his Son in the image of the evil flesh, and as an offering for sin, gave his decision against sin in the flesh:

bbe@Romans:8:4 @So that what was ordered by the law might be done in us, who are living, not in the way of the flesh, but in the way of the Spirit.

bbe@Romans:8:5 @For those who are living in the way of the flesh give their minds to the things of the flesh, but those who go in the way of the Spirit, to the things of the Spirit.

bbe@Romans:8:6 @For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace:

bbe@Romans:8:7 @Because the mind of the flesh is opposite to God; it is not under the law of God, and is not able to be:

bbe@Romans:8:9 @You are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if the Spirit of God is in you. But if any man has not the Spirit of Christ he is not one of his.

bbe@Romans:8:10 @And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

bbe@Romans:8:11 @But if the Spirit of him who made Jesus come again from the dead is in you, he who made Christ Jesus come again from the dead will in the same way, through his Spirit which is in you, give life to your bodies which now are under the power of death.

bbe@Romans:8:12 @So then, my brothers, we are in debt, not to the flesh to be living in the way of the flesh:

bbe@Romans:8:13 @For if you go in the way of the flesh, death will come on you; but if by the Spirit you put to death the works of the body, you will have life.

bbe@Romans:8:14 @And all those who are guided by the Spirit of God are sons of God.

bbe@Romans:8:15 @For you did not get the spirit of servants again to put you in fear, but the spirit of sons was given to you, by which we say, Abba, Father.

bbe@Romans:8:16 @The Spirit is witness with our spirit that we are children of God:

bbe@Romans:8:17 @And if we are children, we have a right to a part in the heritage; a part in the things of God, together with Christ; so that if we have a part in his pain, we will in the same way have a part in his glory.

bbe@Romans:8:18 @I am of the opinion that there is no comparison between the pain of this present time and the glory which we will see in the future

bbe@Romans:8:19 @For the strong desire of every living thing is waiting for the revelation of the sons of God.

bbe@Romans:8:20 @For every living thing was put under the power of change, not by its desire, but by him who made it so, in hope

bbe@Romans:8:21 @That all living things will be made free from the power of death and will have a part with the free children of God in glory.

bbe@Romans:8:23 @And not only so, but we who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we have sorrow in our minds, waiting for the time when we will take our place as sons, that is, the salvation of our bodies.

bbe@Romans:8:27 @And he who is the searcher of hearts has knowledge of the mind of the Spirit, because he is making prayers for the saints in agreement with the mind of God.

bbe@Romans:8:29 @Because those of whom he had knowledge before they came into existence, were marked out by him to be made like his Son, so that he might be the first among a band of brothers:

bbe@Romans:8:33 @Who will say anything against the saints of God? It is God who makes us clear from evil;

bbe@Romans:8:34 @Who will give a decision against us? It is Christ Jesus who not only was put to death, but came again from the dead, who is now at the right hand of God, taking our part.

bbe@Romans:8:35 @Who will come between us and the love of Christ? Will trouble, or pain, or cruel acts, or the need of food or of clothing, or danger, or the sword?

bbe@Romans:8:36 @As it is said in the holy Writings, Because of you we are put to death every day; we are like sheep ready for destruction.

bbe@Romans:8:39 @Or things on high, or things under the earth, or anything which is made, will be able to come between us and the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

bbe@Romans:9:2 @That I am full of sorrow and pain without end.

bbe@Romans:9:4 @Who are Israelites: who have the place of sons, and the glory, and the agreements with God, and the giving of the law, and the worship, and the hope offered by God:

bbe@Romans:9:5 @Whose are the fathers, and of whom came Christ in the flesh, who is over all, God, to whom be blessing for ever. So be it.

bbe@Romans:9:6 @But it is not as if the word of God was without effect. For they are not all Israel, who are of Israel:

bbe@Romans:9:7 @And they are not all children because they are the seed of Abraham; but, In Isaac will your seed be named.

bbe@Romans:9:8 @That is, it is not the children of the flesh, but the children of God's undertaking, who are named as the seed.

bbe@Romans:9:9 @For this is the word of God's undertaking, At this time will I come, and Sarah will have a son.

bbe@Romans:9:12 @It was said to her, The older will be the servant of the younger.

bbe@Romans:9:16 @So then, it is not by the desire or by the attempt of man, but by the mercy of God.

bbe@Romans:9:17 @For the holy Writings say to Pharaoh, For this same purpose did I put you on high, so that I might make my power seen in you, and that there might be knowledge of my name through all the earth.

bbe@Romans:9:21 @Or has not the potter the right to make out of one part of his earth a vessel for honour, and out of another a vessel for shame?

bbe@Romans:9:22 @What if God, desiring to let his wrath and his power be seen, for a long time put up with the vessels of wrath which were ready for destruction:

bbe@Romans:9:23 @And to make clear the wealth of his glory to vessels of mercy, which he had before made ready for glory,

bbe@Romans:9:26 @And in the place where it was said to them, You are not my people, there they will be named the sons of the living God.

bbe@Romans:9:27 @And Isaiah says about Israel, Even if the number of the children of Israel is as the sand of the sea, only a small part will get salvation:

bbe@Romans:9:29 @And, as Isaiah had said before, If the Lord of armies had not given us a seed, we would have been like Sodom and Gomorrah.

bbe@Romans:9:30 @What then may we say? That the nations who did not go after righteousness have got righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith:

bbe@Romans:9:31 @But Israel, going after a law of righteousness, did not get it.

bbe@Romans:10:2 @For I give witness of them that they have a strong desire for God, but not with knowledge.

bbe@Romans:10:3 @Because, not having knowledge of God's righteousness, and desiring to give effect to their righteousness, they have not put themselves under the righteousness of God.

bbe@Romans:10:4 @For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who has faith.

bbe@Romans:10:5 @For Moses says that the man who does the righteousness which is of the law will get life by it.

bbe@Romans:10:6 @But the righteousness which is of faith says these words, Say not in your heart, Who will go up to heaven? (that is, to make Christ come down:)

bbe@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 of which we are the preachers:

bbe@Romans:10:12 @And the Jew is not different from the Greek: for there is the same Lord of all, who is good to all who have hope in his name:

bbe@Romans:10:13 @Because, Whoever will give worship to the name of the Lord will get salvation.

bbe@Romans:10:14 @But how will they give worship to him in whom they have no faith? and how will they have faith in him of whom they have not had news? and how will they have news without a preacher?

bbe@Romans:10:15 @And how will there be preachers if they are not sent? As it is said, How beautiful are the feet of those who give the glad news of good things.

bbe@Romans:10:17 @So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.

bbe@Romans:10:18 @But I say, Did not the word come to their ears? Yes, certainly: Their sound has gone out into all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.

bbe@Romans:10:20 @And Isaiah says without fear, Those who were not searching for me made discovery of me; and I was seen by those whose hearts were turned away from me.

bbe@Romans:11:1 @So I say, Has God put his people on one side? Let there be no such thought. For I am of Israel, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

bbe@Romans:11:2 @God has not put away the people of his selection. Or have you no knowledge of what is said about Elijah in the holy Writings? how he says words to God against Israel,

bbe@Romans:11:5 @In the same way, there are at this present time some who are marked out by the selection of grace.

bbe@Romans:11:6 @But if it is of grace, then it is no longer of works: or grace would not be grace.

bbe@Romans:11:7 @What then? That which Israel was searching for he did not get, but those of the selection got it and the rest were made hard.

bbe@Romans:11:8 @As it was said in the holy Writings, God gave them a spirit of sleep, eyes which might not see, and ears which have no hearing, to this day.

bbe@Romans:11:12 @Now, if their fall is the wealth of the world, and their loss the wealth of the Gentiles, how much greater will be the glory when they are made full?

bbe@Romans:11:13 @But I say to you, Gentiles, in so far as I am the Apostle of the Gentiles, I make much of my position:

bbe@Romans:11:14 @If in any way those who are of my flesh may be moved to envy, so that some of them may get salvation by me.

bbe@Romans:11:15 @For, if by their putting away, the rest of men have been made friends with God, what will their coming back again be, but life from the dead?

bbe@Romans:11:17 @But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, an olive-tree of the fields, were put in among them, and were given a part with them in the root by which the olive-tree is made fertile,

bbe@Romans:11:18 @Do not be uplifted in pride over the branches: because it is not you who are the support of the root, but it is by the root that you are supported.

bbe@Romans:11:19 @You will say, Branches were broken off so that I might be put in.

bbe@Romans:11:20 @Truly, because they had no faith they were broken off, and you have your place by reason of your faith. Do not be lifted up in pride, but have fear;

bbe@Romans:11:22 @See then that God is good but his rules are fixed: to those who were put away he was hard, but to you he has been good, on the condition that you keep in his mercy; if not, you will be cut off as they were.

bbe@Romans:11:24 @For if you were cut out of a field olive-tree, and against the natural use were united to a good olive-tree, how much more will these, the natural branches, be united again with the olive-tree which was theirs?

bbe@Romans:11:26 @And so all Israel will get salvation: as it is said in the holy Writings, There will come out of Zion the One who makes free; by him wrongdoing will be taken away from Jacob:

bbe@Romans:11:28 @As far as the good news is in question, they are cut off from God on account of you, but as far as the selection is in question, they are loved on account of the fathers.

bbe@Romans:11:30 @For as you, in time past, were not under the rule of God, but now have got mercy through their turning away,

bbe@Romans:11:31 @So in the same way these have gone against the orders of God, so that by the mercy given to you they may now get mercy.

bbe@Romans:11:33 @O how deep is the wealth of the wisdom and knowledge of God! no one is able to make discovery of his decisions, and his ways may not be searched out.

bbe@Romans:11:34 @Who has knowledge of the mind of the Lord? or who has taken part in his purposes?

bbe@Romans:11:36 @For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things. To him be the glory for ever. So be it.

bbe@Romans:12:1 @For this reason I make request to you, brothers, by the mercies of God, that you will give your bodies as a living offering, holy, pleasing to God, which is the worship it is right for you to give him.

bbe@Romans:12:2 @And let not your behaviour be like that of this world, but be changed and made new in mind, so that by experience you may have knowledge of the good and pleasing and complete purpose of God.

bbe@Romans:12:3 @But I say to every one of you, through the grace given to me, not to have an over-high opinion of himself, but to have wise thoughts, as God has given to every one a measure of faith.

bbe@Romans:12:4 @For, as we have a number of parts in one body, but all the parts have not the same use,

bbe@Romans:12:5 @So we, though we are a number of persons, are one body in Christ, and are dependent on one another;

bbe@Romans:12:6 @And having different qualities by reason of the grace given to us, such as the quality of a prophet, let it be made use of in relation to the measure of our faith;

bbe@Romans:12:7 @Or the position of a Deacon of the church, let a man give himself to it; or he who has the power of teaching, let him make use of it;

bbe@Romans:12:8 @He who has the power of comforting, let him do so; he who gives, let him give freely; he who has the power of ruling, let him do it with a serious mind; he who has mercy on others, let it be with joy.

bbe@Romans:12:9 @Let love be without deceit. Be haters of what is evil; keep your minds fixed on what is good.

bbe@Romans:12:13 @Giving to the needs of the saints, ready to take people into your houses

bbe@Romans:12:15 @Take part in the joy of those who are glad, and in the grief of those who are sorrowing.

bbe@Romans:12:16 @Be in harmony with one another. Do not have a high opinion of yourselves, but be in agreement with common people. Do not give yourselves an air of wisdom.

bbe@Romans:12:17 @Do not give evil for evil to any man. Let all your business be well ordered in the eyes of all men.

bbe@Romans:12:19 @Do not give punishment for wrongs done to you, dear brothers, but give way to the wrath of God; for it is said in the holy Writings, Punishment is mine, I will give reward, says the Lord.

bbe@Romans:12:20 @But if one who has hate for you is in need of food or of drink, give it to him, for in so doing you will put coals of fire on his head.

bbe@Romans:13:1 @Let everyone put himself under the authority of the higher powers, because there is no power which is not of God, and all powers are ordered by God.

bbe@Romans:13:2 @For which reason everyone who puts himself against the authority puts himself against the order of God: and those who are against it will get punishment for themselves.

bbe@Romans:13:3 @For rulers are not a cause of fear to the good work but to the evil. If you would have no fear of the authority, do good and you will have praise;

bbe@Romans:13:4 @For he is the servant of God to you for good. But if you do evil, have fear; for the sword is not in his hand for nothing: he is God's servant, making God's punishment come on the evil-doer.

bbe@Romans:13:5 @So put yourselves under the authority, not for fear of wrath, but because you have the knowledge of what is right.

bbe@Romans:13:6 @For the same reason, make payment of taxes; because the authority is God's servant, to take care of such things at all times.

bbe@Romans:13:12 @The night is far gone, and the day is near: so let us put off the works of the dark, arming ourselves with light,

bbe@Romans:14:3 @Let not him who takes food have a low opinion of him who does not: and let not him who does not take food be a judge of him who does; for he has God's approval.

bbe@Romans:14:4 @Who are you to make yourself a judge of another man's servant? it is to his master that he is responsible for good or bad. Yes, his place will be safe, because the Lord is able to keep him from falling.

bbe@Romans:14:9 @And for this purpose Christ went into death and came back again, that he might be the Lord of the dead and of the living.

bbe@Romans:14:12 @So every one of us will have to give an account of himself to God.

bbe@Romans:14:13 @Then let us not be judges of one another any longer: but keep this in mind, that no man is to make it hard for his brother, or give him cause for doubting.

bbe@Romans:14:14 @I am conscious of this, and am certain in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean in itself; but for the man in whose opinion it is unclean, for him it is unclean.

bbe@Romans:14:15 @And if because of food your brother is troubled, then you are no longer going on in the way of love. Do not let your food be destruction to him for whom Christ went into death.

bbe@Romans:14:17 @For the kingdom of God is not food and drink, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit

bbe@Romans:14:18 @And he who in these things is Christ's servant, is pleasing to God and has the approval of men.

bbe@Romans:14:20 @Do not let the work of God come to nothing on account of food. All things are certainly clean; but it is evil for that man who by taking food makes it hard for another.

bbe@Romans:14:21 @It is better not to take meat or wine or to do anything which might be a cause of trouble to your brother.

bbe@Romans:14:23 @But he who is in doubt is judged if he takes food, because he does it not in faith; and whatever is not of faith is sin.

bbe@Romans:15:2 @Let every one of us give pleasure to his neighbour for his good, to make him strong.

bbe@Romans:15:3 @For Christ did not give pleasure to himself, but, as it is said, The bitter words of those who were angry with you came on me.

bbe@Romans:15:4 @Now those things which were put down in writing before our time were for our learning, so that through quiet waiting and through the comfort of the holy Writings we might have hope.

bbe@Romans:15:5 @Now may the God who gives comfort and strength in waiting make you of the same mind with one another in harmony with Christ Jesus:

bbe@Romans:15:6 @So that with one mouth you may give glory to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

bbe@Romans:15:7 @So then, take one another to your hearts, as Christ took us, to the glory of God.

bbe@Romans:15:8 @Now I say that Christ has been made a servant of the circumcision to give effect to the undertakings given by God to the fathers,

bbe@Romans:15:10 @And again he says, Take part, you Gentiles, in the joy of his people.

bbe@Romans:15:12 @And again Isaiah says, There will be the root of Jesse, and he who comes to be the ruler over the Gentiles; in him will the Gentiles put their hope.

bbe@Romans:15:13 @Now may the God of hope make you full of joy and peace through faith, so that all hope may be yours in the power of the Holy Spirit.

bbe@Romans:15:14 @And I myself am certain of you, brothers, that you are full of what is good, complete in all knowledge, able to give direction to one another.

bbe@Romans:15:15 @But I have, in some measure, less fear in writing to you to put these things before you again, because of the grace which was given to me by God,

bbe@Romans:15:16 @To be a servant of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles, doing the work of a priest in the good news of God, so that the offering of the Gentiles might be pleasing to God, being made holy by the Holy Spirit.

bbe@Romans:15:18 @And I will keep myself from talking of anything but those things which Christ has done by me to put the Gentiles under his rule in word and in act,

bbe@Romans:15:19 @By signs and wonders, in the power of the Holy Spirit; so that from Jerusalem and round about as far as Illyricum I have given all the good news of Christ;

bbe@Romans:15:20 @Making it my purpose not to take the good news where Christ was named, so that my work might not be resting on that of others;

bbe@Romans:15:21 @But as it is said in the holy Writings, They will see, to whom the news of him had not been given, and those to whose ears it had not come will have knowledge.

bbe@Romans:15:23 @But now, having no longer any place in these parts and having had for a number of years a great desire to come to you,

bbe@Romans:15:26 @For it has been the good pleasure of those of Macedonia and Achaia to send a certain amount of money for the poor among the saints at Jerusalem.

bbe@Romans:15:27 @Yes, it has been their good pleasure; and they are in their debt. For if the Gentiles have had a part in the things of the Spirit which were theirs, it is right for them, in the same way, to give them help in the things of the flesh.

bbe@Romans:15:28 @So when I have done this, and have given them this fruit of love, I will go on by you into Spain.

bbe@Romans:15:29 @And I am certain that when I come, I will be full of the blessing of Christ.

bbe@Romans:15:30 @Now I make request to you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ, and by the love of the Spirit, that you will be working together with me in your prayers to God for me;

bbe@Romans:15:31 @So that I may be kept safe from those in Judaea who have not put themselves under the rule of God, and that the help which I am taking for Jerusalem may be pleasing to the saints;

bbe@Romans:15:32 @So that I may come to you in joy by the good pleasure of God, and have rest with you.

bbe@Romans:15:33 @Now may the God of peace be with you all. So be it.

bbe@Romans:16:1 @It is my desire to say a good word for Phoebe, who is a servant of the church in Cenchreae:

bbe@Romans:16:2 @That you will take her in kindly, after the way of the saints, as one who is the Lord's, and give her help in anything in which she may have need of you: because she has been a help to a great number and to myself.

bbe@Romans:16:4 @Who for my life put their necks in danger; to whom not only I but all the churches of the Gentiles are in debt:

bbe@Romans:16:5 @And say a kind word to the church which is in their house. Give my love to my dear Epaenetus, who is the first fruit of Asia to Christ.

bbe@Romans:16:10 @Give my love to Apelles, who has the approval of Christ. Say a kind word to those who are of the house of Aristobulus.

bbe@Romans:16:11 @Give my love to Herodion, my relation. Say a kind word to those of the house of Narcissus, who are in the Lord.

bbe@Romans:16:13 @Give my love to Rufus, one of the Lord's selection, and to his mother and mine.

bbe@Romans:16:16 @Give one another a holy kiss. All the churches of Christ send their love to you.

bbe@Romans:16:17 @Now, it is my desire, brothers, that you will take note of those who are causing division and trouble among you, quite against the teaching which was given to you: and keep away from them.

bbe@Romans:16:18 @For such people are not servants of the Lord Christ, but of their stomachs; and by their smooth and well-said words the hearts of those who have no knowledge of evil are tricked.

bbe@Romans:16:19 @For all have knowledge of how you do what you are ordered. For this reason I have joy in you, but it is my desire that you may be wise in what is good, and without knowledge of evil.

bbe@Romans:16:20 @And the God of peace will be crushing Satan under your feet before long. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

bbe@Romans:16:22 @I, Tertius, who have done the writing of this letter, send love in the Lord.

bbe@Romans:16:23 @Gaius, with whom I am living, whose house is open to all the church, sends his love, so does Erastus, the manager of the accounts of the town, and Quartus, the brother.

bbe@Romans:16:25 @Now to him who is able to make you strong in agreement with the good news which I gave you and the preaching of Jesus Christ, in the light of the revelation of that secret which has been kept through times eternal,

bbe@Romans:16:26 @But is now made clear; and by the writings of the prophets, by the order of the eternal God, the knowledge of it has been given to all the nations, so that they may come under the rule of the faith;

bbe@1Corinthians:1:1 @Paul, an Apostle of Jesus Christ by the purpose of God, and Sosthenes the brother,

bbe@1Corinthians:1:2 @To the church of God which is in Corinth, to those who have been made holy in Christ Jesus, saints by the selection of God, with all those who in every place give honour to the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours:

bbe@1Corinthians:1:4 @I give praise to my God for you at all times, because of the grace of God which has been given to you in Christ Jesus;

bbe@1Corinthians:1:5 @So that in him you have wealth in all things, in word and in knowledge of every sort;

bbe@1Corinthians:1:6 @Even as the witness of the Christ has been made certain among you:

bbe@1Corinthians:1:7 @So that having every grace you are living in the hope of the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ;

bbe@1Corinthians:1:8 @Who will give you strength to the end, to be free from all sin in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

bbe@1Corinthians:1:10 @Now I make request to you, my brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you will all say the same thing, and that there may be no divisions among you, so that you may be in complete agreement, in the same mind and in the same opinion.

bbe@1Corinthians:1:11 @Because it has come to my knowledge, through those of the house of Chloe, that there are divisions among you, my brothers.

bbe@1Corinthians:1:12 @That is, that some of you say, I am of Paul; some say, I am of Apollos; some say, I am of Cephas; and some say, I am Christ's.

bbe@1Corinthians:1:13 @Is there a division in Christ? was Paul nailed to the cross for you? or were you given baptism in the name of Paul?

bbe@1Corinthians:1:14 @I give praise to God that not one of you had baptism from me, but Crispus and Gaius;

bbe@1Corinthians:1:16 @And I gave baptism to the house of Stephanas; but I am not certain that any others had baptism from me.

bbe@1Corinthians:1:17 @For Christ sent me, not to give baptism, but to be a preacher of the good news: not with wise words, for fear that the cross of Christ might be made of no value.

bbe@1Corinthians:1:18 @For the word of the cross seems foolish to those who are on the way to destruction; but to us who are on the way to salvation it is the power of God.

bbe@1Corinthians:1:19 @As it says in the holy Writings, I will put an end to the wisdom of the wise, and will put on one side the designs of those who have knowledge.

bbe@1Corinthians:1:20 @Where is the wise? where is he who has knowledge of the law? where is the man of this world who has a love of discussion? has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

bbe@1Corinthians:1:21 @For because, by the purpose of God, the world, with all its wisdom, had not the knowledge of God, it was God's pleasure, by so foolish a thing as preaching, to give salvation to those who had faith in him.

bbe@1Corinthians:1:23 @But we give the good news of Christ on the cross, a hard thing to the Jews, and a foolish thing to the Gentiles;

bbe@1Corinthians:1:24 @But to those of God's selection, Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power and the wisdom of God.

bbe@1Corinthians:1:26 @For you see God's design for you, my brothers, that he has not taken a great number of the wise after the flesh, not the strong, not the noble:

bbe@1Corinthians:1:27 @But God made selection of the foolish things of this world so that he might put the wise to shame; and the feeble things that he might put to shame the strong;

bbe@1Corinthians:1:28 @And the low things of the world, and the things without honour, did God make selection of, yes, even the things which are not, so that he might make as nothing the things which are:

bbe@1Corinthians:2:1 @And when I came to you, my brothers, I did not come with wise words of knowledge, putting before you the secret of God.

bbe@1Corinthians:2:2 @For I had made the decision to have knowledge of nothing among you but only of Jesus Christ on the cross.

bbe@1Corinthians:2:4 @And in my preaching there were no honeyed words of wisdom, but I was dependent on the power of the Spirit to make it clear to you:

bbe@1Corinthians:2:5 @So that your faith might be based not on man's wisdom but on the power of God.

bbe@1Corinthians:2:6 @But still we have wisdom for those who are complete in knowledge, though not the wisdom of this world, and not of the rulers of this world, who are coming to nothing:

bbe@1Corinthians:2:7 @But we give the news of the secret wisdom of God, which he had kept in store before the world came into existence, for our glory;

bbe@1Corinthians:2:8 @Of which not one of the rulers of this world had knowledge: for if they had, they would not have put the Lord of glory on the cross:

bbe@1Corinthians:2:9 @But as it says in the holy Writings, Things which the eye saw not, and which had not come to the ears or into the heart of man, such things as God has made ready for those who have love for him.

bbe@1Corinthians:2:10 @But God has given us the revelation of these things through his Spirit, for the Spirit makes search into all things, even the deep things of God.

bbe@1Corinthians:2:11 @For who has knowledge of the things of a man but the spirit of the man which is in him? in the same way, no one has knowledge of the things of God but the Spirit of God.

bbe@1Corinthians:2:12 @But we have not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which comes from God, so that we may have knowledge of the things which are freely given to us by God.

bbe@1Corinthians:2:13 @And these are the things which we say, not in the language of man's wisdom, but in words given to us by the Spirit, judging the things of the spirit by the help of the Spirit.

bbe@1Corinthians:2:14 @For the natural man is not able to take in the things of the Spirit of God: for they seem foolish to him, and he is not able to have knowledge of them, because such knowledge comes only through the Spirit.

bbe@1Corinthians:2:16 @For who has knowledge of the mind of the Lord, so as to be his teacher? But we have the mind of Christ.

bbe@1Corinthians:3:3 @Because you are still in the flesh: for when there is envy and division among you, are you not still walking after the way of the flesh, even as natural men?

bbe@1Corinthians:3:4 @For when one says, I am of Paul; and another says, I am of Apollos; are you not talking like natural men?

bbe@1Corinthians:3:8 @Now the planter and the waterer are working for the same end: but they will have their separate rewards in the measure of their work.

bbe@1Corinthians:3:10 @In the measure of the grace given to me, I, as a wise master-builder, have put the base in position, and another goes on building on it

bbe@1Corinthians:3:12 @But on the base a man may put gold, silver, stones of great price, wood, dry grass, cut stems;

bbe@1Corinthians:3:13 @Every man's work will be made clear in that day, because it will be tested by fire; and the fire itself will make clear the quality of every man's work.

bbe@1Corinthians:3:16 @Do you not see that you are God's holy house, and that the Spirit of God has his place in you?

bbe@1Corinthians:3:17 @If anyone makes the house of God unclean, God will put an end to him; for the house of God is holy, and you are his house.

bbe@1Corinthians:3:19 @For the wisdom of this world is foolish before God. As it is said in the holy Writings, He who takes the wise in their secret designs:

bbe@1Corinthians:3:20 @And again, The Lord has knowledge of the reasonings of the wise, that they are nothing.

bbe@1Corinthians:4:1 @Let us be judged as servants of Christ, and as those who are responsible for the secret things of God.

bbe@1Corinthians:4:3 @But it is a small thing to me that I am judged by you or by man's judging; I am not even a judge of myself.

bbe@1Corinthians:4:4 @For I am not conscious of any wrong in myself; but this does not make me clear, for it is the Lord who is my judge.

bbe@1Corinthians:4:5 @For this reason let there be no judging before the time, till the Lord comes, who will make clear the secret things of the dark, and the designs of the heart; and then will every man have his praise from God.

bbe@1Corinthians:4:6 @My brothers, it is because of you that I have taken Apollos and myself as examples of these things, so that in us you might see that it is not wise to go farther than what is in the holy Writings, so that no one of you may be lifted up against his brother.

bbe@1Corinthians:4:9 @For it seems to me that God has put us the Apostles last of all, as men whose fate is death: for we are put on view to the world, and to angels, and to men.

bbe@1Corinthians:4:13 @When evil things are said about us we give gentle answers: we are made as the unclean things of the world, as that for which no one has any use, even till now.

bbe@1Corinthians:4:18 @Now some are full of pride, as if I was not coming to you.

bbe@1Corinthians:4:19 @But I will come to you in a short time, if it is pleasing to the Lord, and I will take note, not of the word of those who are full of pride, but of the power.

bbe@1Corinthians:4:20 @For the kingdom of God is not in word but in power.

bbe@1Corinthians:5:1 @It is said, in fact, that there is among you a sin of the flesh, such as is not seen even among the Gentiles, that one of you has his father's wife.

bbe@1Corinthians:5:2 @And in place of feeling sorrow, you are pleased with yourselves, so that he who has done this thing has not been sent away from among you.

bbe@1Corinthians:5:4 @In the name of our Lord Jesus, when you have come together with my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus,

bbe@1Corinthians:5:5 @That this man is to be handed over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may have forgiveness in the day of the Lord Jesus.

bbe@1Corinthians:5:6 @This pride of yours is not good. Do you not see that a little leaven makes a change in all the mass?

bbe@1Corinthians:5:8 @Let us then keep the feast, not with old leaven, and not with the leaven of evil thoughts and acts, but with the unleavened bread of true thoughts and right feelings.

bbe@1Corinthians:5:9 @In my letter I said to you that you were not to keep company with those who go after the desires of the flesh;

bbe@1Corinthians:5:10 @But I had not in mind the sinners who are outside the church, or those who have a desire for and take the property of others, or those who give worship to images; for it is not possible to keep away from such people without going out of the world completely:

bbe@1Corinthians:5:11 @But the sense of my letter was that if a brother had the name of being one who went after the desires of the flesh, or had the desire for other people's property, or was in the way of using violent language, or being the worse for drink, or took by force what was not his, you might not keep company with such a one, or take food with him.

bbe@1Corinthians:5:12 @For it is no business of mine to be judging those who are outside; but it is yours to be judging those who are among you;

bbe@1Corinthians:6:1 @How is it, that if any one of you has a cause at law against another, he takes it before a Gentile judge and not before the saints?

bbe@1Corinthians:6:2 @Is it not certain that the saints will be the judges of the world? if then the world will be judged by you, are you unable to give a decision about the smallest things?

bbe@1Corinthians:6:3 @Is it not certain that we are to be the judges of angels? how much more then of the things of this life?

bbe@1Corinthians:6:4 @If then there are questions to be judged in connection with the things of this life, why do you put them in the hands of those who have no position in the church?

bbe@1Corinthians:6:9 @Have you not knowledge that evil-doers will have no part in the kingdom of God? Have no false ideas about this: no one who goes after the desires of the flesh, or gives worship to images, or is untrue when married, or is less than a man, or makes a wrong use of men,

bbe@1Corinthians:6:10 @Or is a thief, or the worse for drink, or makes use of strong language, or takes by force what is not his, will have any part in the kingdom of God.

bbe@1Corinthians:6:11 @And such were some of you; but you have been washed, you have been made holy, you have been given righteousness in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.

bbe@1Corinthians:6:12 @I am free to do all things; but not all things are wise. I am free to do all things; but I will not let myself come under the power of any.

bbe@1Corinthians:6:13 @Food is for the stomach and the stomach for food, and God will put an end to them together. But the body is not for the desires of the flesh, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body:

bbe@1Corinthians:6:15 @Do you not see that your bodies are part of the body of Christ? how then may I take what is a part of the body of Christ and make it a part of the body of a loose woman? such a thing may not be.

bbe@1Corinthians:6:16 @Or do you not see that he who is joined to a loose woman is one body with her? for God has said, The two of them will become one flesh.

bbe@1Corinthians:6:18 @Keep away from the desires of the flesh. Every sin which a man does is outside of the body; but he who goes after the desires of the flesh does evil to his body.

bbe@1Corinthians:6:19 @Or are you not conscious that your body is a house for the Holy Spirit which is in you, and which has been given to you by God? and you are not the owners of yourselves;

bbe@1Corinthians:7:2 @But because of the desires of the flesh, let every man have his wife, and every woman her husband.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:5 @Do not keep back from one another what is right, but only for a short time, and by agreement, so that you may give yourselves to prayer, and come together again; so that Satan may not get the better of you through your loss of self-control.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:6 @But this I say as my opinion, and not as an order of the Lord.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:7 @It is my desire that all men might be even as I am. But every man has the power of his special way of life given him by God, one in this way and one in that.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:9 @But if they have not self-control let them get married; for married life is better than the burning of desire.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:16 @For how may you be certain, O wife, that you will not be the cause of salvation to your husband? or you, O husband, that you may not do the same for your wife?

bbe@1Corinthians:7:17 @Only, as the Lord has given to a man, and as is the purpose of God for him, so let him go on living. And these are my orders for all the churches.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:19 @Circumcision is nothing, and its opposite is nothing, but only doing the orders of God is of value.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:21 @If you were a servant when you became a Christian, let it not be a grief to you; but if you have a chance to become free, make use of it.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:23 @It is the Lord who has made payment for you: be not servants of men.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:24 @My brothers, let every man keep in that condition which is the purpose of God for him.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:26 @In my opinion then, because of the present trouble, it is good for a man to keep as he is.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:30 @And for those who are in sorrow, to give no signs of it; and for those who are glad, to give no signs of joy; and for those who are getting property, to be as if they had nothing;

bbe@1Corinthians:7:31 @And for those who make use of the world, not to be using it fully; for this world's way of life will quickly come to an end.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:32 @But it is my desire for you to be free from cares. The unmarried man gives his mind to the things of the Lord, how he may give pleasure to the Lord:

bbe@1Corinthians:7:33 @But the married man gives his attention to the things of this world, how he may give pleasure to his wife.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:34 @And the wife is not the same as the virgin. The virgin gives her mind to the things of the Lord, so that she may be holy in body and in spirit: but the married woman takes thought for the things of the world, how she may give pleasure to her husband.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:35 @Now I say this for your profit; not to make things hard for you, but because of what is right, and so that you may be able to give all your attention to the things of the Lord.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:40 @But it will be better for her to keep as she is, in my opinion: and it seems to me that I have the Spirit of God.

bbe@1Corinthians:8:1 @Now about things offered to images: we all seem to ourselves to have knowledge. Knowledge gives pride, but love gives true strength.

bbe@1Corinthians:8:2 @If anyone seems to himself to have knowledge, so far he has not the right sort of knowledge about anything;

bbe@1Corinthians:8:3 @But if anyone has love for God, God has knowledge of him.

bbe@1Corinthians:8:4 @So, then, as to the question of taking food offered to images, we are certain that an image is nothing in the world, and that there is no God but one.

bbe@1Corinthians:8:5 @For though there are those who have the name of gods, in heaven or on earth, as there are a number of gods and a number of lords,

bbe@1Corinthians:8:6 @There is for us only one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we are for him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we have our being through him.

bbe@1Corinthians:8:7 @Still, all men have not that knowledge: but some, being used till now to the image, are conscious that they are taking food which has been offered to the image; and because they are not strong in the faith, their minds are troubled.

bbe@1Corinthians:8:8 @But God's approval of us is not based on the food we take: if we do not take it we are no worse for it; and if we take it we are no better.

bbe@1Corinthians:8:9 @But take care that this power of yours does not give cause for trouble to the feeble.

bbe@1Corinthians:8:10 @For if a man sees you, who have knowledge, taking food as a guest in the house of an image, will it not give him, if he is feeble, the idea that he may take food offered to images?

bbe@1Corinthians:8:11 @And so, through your knowledge, you are the cause of destruction to your brother, for whom Christ underwent death.

bbe@1Corinthians:8:13 @For this reason, if food is a cause of trouble to my brother, I will give up taking meat for ever, so that I may not be a cause of trouble to my brother.

bbe@1Corinthians:9:5 @Have we no right to take about with us a Christian wife, like the rest of the Apostles, and the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas?

bbe@1Corinthians:9:7 @Who ever goes to war without looking to someone to be responsible for his payment? who puts in vines and does not take the fruit of them? or who takes care of sheep without drinking of their milk?

bbe@1Corinthians:9:9 @For it says in the law of Moses, It is not right to keep the ox from taking the grain when he is crushing it. Is it for the oxen that God is giving orders?

bbe@1Corinthians:9:10 @Or has he us in mind? Yes, it was said for us; because it is right for the ploughman to do his ploughing in hope, and for him who is crushing the grain to do his work hoping for a part in the fruits of it.

bbe@1Corinthians:9:11 @If we have been planting the things of the Spirit for you, does it seem a great thing for you to give us a part in your things of this world?

bbe@1Corinthians:9:12 @If others have a part in this right over you, have we not even more? But we did not make use of our right, so that we might put nothing in the way of the good news of Christ.

bbe@1Corinthians:9:13 @Do you not see that the servants of the holy things get their living from the Temple, and the servants of the altar have their part in the food which is offered on the altar?

bbe@1Corinthians:9:14 @Even so did the Lord give orders that the preachers of the good news might get their living from the good news.

bbe@1Corinthians:9:15 @But I have not made use of any of these things: and I am not writing this in the hope that it may be so for me: for it would be better for me to undergo death, than for any man to make this pride of mine of no effect.

bbe@1Corinthians:9:16 @For if I am a preacher of the good news, I have no cause for pride in this; because I am forced to do so, for a curse is on me if I do not.

bbe@1Corinthians:9:18 @What then is my reward? This, that when I am giving the good news, I may give it without payment, not making use of my rights as a preacher of the good news.

bbe@1Corinthians:9:23 @And I do all things for the cause of the good news, so that I may have a part in it.

bbe@1Corinthians:9:25 @And every man who takes part in the sports has self-control in all things. Now they do it to get a crown which is of this world, but we for an eternal crown.

bbe@1Corinthians:10:4 @And the same holy drink: for they all took of the water from the holy rock which came after them: and the rock was Christ.

bbe@1Corinthians:10:5 @But with most of them God was not pleased: for they came to their end in the waste land.

bbe@1Corinthians:10:7 @Then do not go after false gods, as some of them did; as it is said in the holy Writings, After resting and feasting, the people got up to take their pleasure.

bbe@1Corinthians:10:8 @Again, let us not give way to the desires of the flesh, as some of them did, of whom twenty-three thousand came to their end in one day.

bbe@1Corinthians:10:9 @And let us not put the Lord to the test, as some of them did, and came to their death by snakes

bbe@1Corinthians:10:10 @And do not say evil things against the Lord, as some of them did, and destruction overtook them.

bbe@1Corinthians:10:12 @So let him who seems to himself to be safe go in fear of a fall.

bbe@1Corinthians:10:13 @You have been put to no test but such as is common to man: and God is true, who will not let any test come on you which you are not able to undergo; but he will make with the test a way out of it, so that you may be able to go through it.

bbe@1Corinthians:10:15 @What I am saying is for wise men, do you be the judges of it.

bbe@1Corinthians:10:16 @The cup of blessing which we take, does it not give us a part in the blood of Christ? and is not the broken bread a taking part in the body of Christ?

bbe@1Corinthians:10:17 @Because we, being a number of persons, are one bread, we are one body: for we all take part in the one bread.

bbe@1Corinthians:10:18 @See Israel after the flesh: do not those who take as food the offerings of the altar take a part in the altar?

bbe@1Corinthians:10:19 @Do I say, then, that what is offered to images is anything, or that the image is anything?

bbe@1Corinthians:10:20 @What I say is that the things offered by the Gentiles are offered to evil spirits and not to God; and it is not my desire for you to have any part with evil spirits.

bbe@1Corinthians:10:21 @It is not possible for you, at the same time, to take the cup of the Lord and the cup of evil spirits; you may not take part in the table of the Lord and the table of evil spirits.

bbe@1Corinthians:10:22 @Or may we be the cause of envy to the Lord? are we stronger than he?

bbe@1Corinthians:10:25 @Whatever meat may be had at the public market, take as food without question of right or wrong;

bbe@1Corinthians:10:27 @If a Gentile makes a feast for you, and you are pleased to go as a guest, take whatever is put before you, without question of right or wrong.

bbe@1Corinthians:10:28 @But if anyone says to you, This food has been used as an offering, do not take it, on account of him who said it, and on account of his sense of right and wrong:

bbe@1Corinthians:10:29 @Right and wrong, I say, not for you, but for the other man; for the fact that I am free is not dependent on another man's sense of right or wrong.

bbe@1Corinthians:10:30 @But if I give praise to God for the food which I take, let no man say evil of me for that reason.

bbe@1Corinthians:10:31 @So then, if it is a question of food or drink, or any other thing, whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

bbe@1Corinthians:10:32 @Give no cause of trouble to Jews, or to Greeks, or to the church of God.

bbe@1Corinthians:10:33 @Even as I give way to all men in all things, not looking for profit for myself, but for the good of others, that they may get salvation.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:3 @But it is important for you to keep this fact in mind, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man, and the head of Christ is God.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:5 @But every woman who does so with her head unveiled, puts shame on her head: for it is the same as if her hair was cut off.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:6 @For if a woman is not veiled, let her hair be cut off; but if it is a shame to a woman to have her hair cut off, let her be veiled.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:7 @For it is not right for a man to have his head covered, because he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:10 @For this reason it is right for the woman to have a sign of authority on her head, because of the angels.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:13 @Be judges yourselves of the question: does it seem right for a woman to take part in prayer unveiled?

bbe@1Corinthians:11:14 @Does it not seem natural to you that if a man has long hair, it is a cause of shame to him?

bbe@1Corinthians:11:16 @But if any man will not be ruled in this question, this is not our way of doing things, and it is not done in the churches of God.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:18 @For first of all, it has come to my ears that when you come together in the church, there are divisions among you, and I take the statement to be true in part.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:20 @But now, when you come together, it is not possible to take the holy meal of the Lord:

bbe@1Corinthians:11:22 @What? have you not houses to take your meals in? or have you no respect for the church of God, putting the poor to shame? What am I to say to you? am I to give you praise? certainly not.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:24 @And when it had been broken with an act of praise, he said, This is my body which is for you: do this in memory of me.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:25 @In the same way, with the cup, after the meal, he said, This cup is the new testament in my blood: do this, whenever you take it, in memory of me.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:27 @If, then, anyone takes the bread or the cup of the Lord in the wrong spirit, he will be responsible for the body and blood of the Lord.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:28 @But let no man take of the bread and the cup without testing himself.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:30 @For this cause a number of you are feeble and ill, and a number are dead.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:31 @But if we were true judges of ourselves, punishment would not come on us.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:33 @So then, my brothers, when you come together to the holy meal of the Lord, let there be waiting for one another.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:34 @If any man is in need of food, let him take his meal in his house; so that you may not come together to your damage. And the rest I will put in order when I come.

bbe@1Corinthians:12:1 @But about the things of the spirit, my brothers, it is not right for you to be without teaching.

bbe@1Corinthians:12:3 @So it is my desire for you to be clear about this; that no one is able to say by the Spirit of God that Jesus is cursed; and no one is able to say that Jesus is Lord, but by the Holy Spirit.

bbe@1Corinthians:12:5 @And there are different sorts of servants, but the same Lord.

bbe@1Corinthians:12:7 @But to every man some form of the Spirit's working is given for the common good.

bbe@1Corinthians:12:8 @For to one are given words of wisdom through the Spirit; and to another words of knowledge through the same Spirit:

bbe@1Corinthians:12:9 @To another faith in the same Spirit; and to another the power of taking away disease, by the one Spirit;

bbe@1Corinthians:12:10 @And to another the power of working wonders; and to another the prophet's word; and to another the power of testing spirits; to another different sorts of tongues; and to another the power of making clear the sense of the tongues:

bbe@1Corinthians:12:11 @But all these are the operations of the one and the same Spirit, giving to every man separately as his pleasure is.

bbe@1Corinthians:12:12 @For as the body is one, and has a number of parts, and all the parts make one body, so is Christ.

bbe@1Corinthians:12:13 @For through the baptism of the one Spirit we were all formed into one body, Jews or Greeks, servants or free men, and were all made full of the same Spirit

bbe@1Corinthians:12:14 @For the body is not one part, but a number of parts.

bbe@1Corinthians:12:15 @If the foot says, Because I am not the hand, I am not a part of the body; it is no less a part of the body.

bbe@1Corinthians:12:16 @And if the ear says, Because I am not the eye, I am not a part of the body; it is a part of the body all the same.

bbe@1Corinthians:12:18 @But now God has put every one of the parts in the body as it was pleasing to him.

bbe@1Corinthians:12:21 @And the eye may not say to the hand, I have no need of you: or again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.

bbe@1Corinthians:12:23 @And to those parts of the body which seem to have less honour we give all the more honour; and to those parts of the body which are a cause of shame to us we give the greater respect;

bbe@1Corinthians:12:24 @But those parts of the body which are beautiful have no need of such care: and so the body has been joined together by God in such a way as to give more honour to those parts which had need of it;

bbe@1Corinthians:12:26 @And if there is pain in one part of the body, all the parts will be feeling it; or if one part is honoured, all the parts will be glad.

bbe@1Corinthians:12:27 @Now you are the body of Christ, and every one of you the separate parts of it.

bbe@1Corinthians:12:28 @And God has put some in the church, first, Apostles; second, prophets; third, teachers; then those with wonder-working powers, then those with the power of taking away disease, helpers, wise guides, users of strange tongues.

bbe@1Corinthians:12:29 @Are all Apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? have all the power of working wonders?

bbe@1Corinthians:12:30 @Are all able to take away disease? have all the power of tongues? are all able to give their sense?

bbe@1Corinthians:13:1 @If I make use of the tongues of men and of angels, and have not love, I am like sounding brass, or a loud-tongued bell.

bbe@1Corinthians:13:2 @And if I have a prophet's power, and have knowledge of all secret things; and if I have all faith, by which mountains may be moved from their place, but have not love, I am nothing.

bbe@1Corinthians:13:3 @And if I give all my goods to the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it is of no profit to me.

bbe@1Corinthians:13:4 @Love is never tired of waiting; love is kind; love has no envy; love has no high opinion of itself, love has no pride;

bbe@1Corinthians:13:5 @Love's ways are ever fair, it takes no thought for itself; it is not quickly made angry, it takes no account of evil;

bbe@1Corinthians:13:7 @Love has the power of undergoing all things, having faith in all things, hoping all things.

bbe@1Corinthians:13:9 @For our knowledge is only in part, and the prophet's word gives only a part of what is true:

bbe@1Corinthians:13:11 @When I was a child, I made use of a child's language, I had a child's feelings and a child's thoughts: now that I am a man, I have put away the things of a child.

bbe@1Corinthians:13:12 @For now we see things in a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now my knowledge is in part; then it will be complete, even as God's knowledge of me.

bbe@1Corinthians:13:13 @But now we still have faith, hope, love, these three; and the greatest of these is love.

bbe@1Corinthians:14:1 @Go after love; still desiring to have the things which the Spirit gives, but most of all that you may have the prophet's power.

bbe@1Corinthians:14:2 @For he who makes use of tongues is not talking to men but to God; because no one has the sense of what he is saying; but in the Spirit he is talking of secret things.

bbe@1Corinthians:14:3 @But the word of the prophet gives men knowledge and comfort and strength.

bbe@1Corinthians:14:4 @He who makes use of tongues may do good to himself; but he who gives the prophet's word does good to the church.

bbe@1Corinthians:14:5 @Now though it is my desire for you all to have the power of tongues, it would give me more pleasure to be hearing the prophet's word from you; for this is a greater thing than using tongues, if the sense is not given at the same time, for the good of the church.

bbe@1Corinthians:14:6 @But, now, my brothers, if I come to you using tongues, what profit will it be to you, if I do not give you a revelation, or knowledge, or the word of the prophet, or teaching?

bbe@1Corinthians:14:10 @There are, it may be, a number of different voices in the world, and no voice is without sense.

bbe@1Corinthians:14:11 @But if the sense of the voice is not clear to me, I am like a man from a strange country to him who is talking, and he will be the same to me.

bbe@1Corinthians:14:12 @So if you are desiring the things which the Spirit gives, let your minds be turned first to the things which are for the good of the church.

bbe@1Corinthians:14:13 @For this reason, let the man who has the power of using tongues make request that he may, at the same time, be able to give the sense.

bbe@1Corinthians:14:14 @For if I make use of tongues in my prayers, my spirit makes the prayer, but not my mind.

bbe@1Corinthians:14:17 @For your giving of the blessing is certainly well done, but of no profit to the man without knowledge

bbe@1Corinthians:14:18 @I give praise to God that I am able to make use of tongues more than you all:

bbe@1Corinthians:14:19 @But in the church it would be better for me to make use of five words of which the sense was clear, so that others might have profit, than ten thousand words in a strange tongue.

bbe@1Corinthians:14:20 @My brothers, do not be children in mind: in evil be as little children, but in mind be of full growth.

bbe@1Corinthians:14:21 @In the law it is said, By men of other tongues and by strange lips will my words come to this people; and not even so will they give ear to me, says the Lord.

bbe@1Corinthians:14:25 @The secrets of his heart are made clear; and he will go down on his face and give worship to God, saying that God is truly among you.

bbe@1Corinthians:14:26 @What is it then, my brothers? when you come together everyone has a holy song, or a revelation, or a tongue, or is giving the sense of it. Let everything be done for the common good.

bbe@1Corinthians:14:27 @If any man makes use of a tongue, let it not be more than two, or at the most three, and in turn; and let someone give the sense:

bbe@1Corinthians:14:29 @And let the prophets give their words, but not more than two or three, and let the others be judges of what they say.

bbe@1Corinthians:14:32 @And the spirits of the prophets are controlled by the prophets;

bbe@1Corinthians:14:33 @For God is not a God whose ways are without order, but a God of peace; as in all the churches of the saints.

bbe@1Corinthians:14:36 @What? was it from you that the word of God went out? or did it only come in to you?

bbe@1Corinthians:14:37 @If any man seems to himself to be a prophet or to have the Spirit, let him take note of the things which I am writing to you, as being the word of the Lord.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:3 @For I gave to you first of all what was handed down to me, how Christ underwent death for our sins, as it says in the Writings;

bbe@1Corinthians:15:4 @And he was put in the place of the dead; and on the third day he came back from the dead, as it says in the Writings;

bbe@1Corinthians:15:6 @Then by more than five hundred brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, but some are sleeping;

bbe@1Corinthians:15:8 @And last of all, as by one whose birth was out of the right time, he was seen by me.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:9 @For I am the least of the Apostles, having no right to be named an Apostle, because of my cruel attacks on the church of God.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:10 @But by the grace of God, I am what I am: and his grace which was given to me has not been for nothing; for I did more work than all of them; though not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:12 @Now if the good news says that Christ came back from the dead, how do some of you say that there is no coming back from the dead?

bbe@1Corinthians:15:14 @And if Christ did not come again from the dead, then our good news and your faith in it are of no effect.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:15 @Yes, and we are seen to be false witnesses of God; because we gave witness of God that by his power Christ came again from the dead: which is not true if there is no coming back from the dead.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:17 @And if that is so, your faith is of no effect; you are still in your sins.

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

bbe@1Corinthians:15:20 @But now Christ has truly come back from the dead, the first-fruits of those who are sleeping.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:32 @If, after the way of men, I was fighting with beasts at Ephesus, what profit is it to me? If the dead do not come to life again, let us take our pleasure in feasting, for tomorrow we come to an end.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:34 @Be awake to righteousness and keep yourselves from sin; for some have no knowledge of God: I say this to put you to shame.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:35 @But someone will say, How do the dead come back? and with what sort of body do they come?

bbe@1Corinthians:15:37 @And when you put it into the earth, you do not put in the body which it will be, but only the seed, of grain or some other sort of plant;

bbe@1Corinthians:15:39 @All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one flesh of men, another of beasts, another of birds, and another of fishes.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:40 @And there are bodies of heaven and bodies of earth, but the glory of the one is different from that of the other.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:41 @There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for the glory of one star is different from that of another.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:44 @It is planted a natural body; it comes again as a body of the spirit. If there is a natural body, there is equally a body of the spirit.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:46 @But that which is natural comes before that which is of the spirit.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:47 @The first man is from the earth, and of the earth: the second man is from heaven.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:48 @Those who are of the earth are like the man who was from the earth: and those who are of heaven are like the one from heaven.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:49 @And in the same way as we have taken on us the image of the man from the earth, so we will take on us the image of the one from heaven.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:50 @Now I say this, my brothers, that it is not possible for flesh and blood to have a part in the kingdom of God; and death may not have a part in life.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:51 @See, I am giving you the revelation of a secret: we will not all come to the sleep of death, but we will all be changed.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:52 @In a second, in the shutting of an eye, at the sound of the last horn: for at that sound the dead will come again, free for ever from the power of death, and we will be changed.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:53 @For this body which comes to destruction will be made free from the power of death, and the man who is under the power of death will put on eternal life.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:56 @The pain of death is sin; and the power of sin is the law:

bbe@1Corinthians:15:58 @For this cause, my dear brothers, be strong in purpose and unmoved, ever giving yourselves to the work of the Lord, because you are certain that your work is not without effect in the Lord.

bbe@1Corinthians:16:1 @Now about the giving of money for the saints, as I gave orders to the churches of Galatia, so do you.

bbe@1Corinthians:16:2 @On the first day of the week, let every one of you put by him in store, in measure as he has done well in business, so that it may not be necessary to get money together when I come.

bbe@1Corinthians:16:3 @And when I come, I will send the men of your selection with letters to take the money you have got together to Jerusalem.

bbe@1Corinthians:16:9 @For a great and important door there is open to me, and there are a number of people against me.

bbe@1Corinthians:16:15 @Now I make my request to you, my brothers, for you have knowledge that the house of Stephanas is the first-fruits of Achaia, and that they have made themselves the servants of the saints,

bbe@1Corinthians:16:17 @And I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus: for they have done what was needed to make your work complete.

bbe@1Corinthians:16:19 @The churches of Asia send their love to you. So do Aquila and Prisca, with the church which is in their house.

bbe@1Corinthians:16:21 @I, Paul, send you these words of love in my writing

bbe@1Corinthians:16:23 @The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

bbe@2Corinthians:1:1 @Paul, an Apostle of Jesus Christ by the purpose of God, and Timothy the brother, to the church of God which is in Corinth, with all the saints who are in all Achaia:

bbe@2Corinthians:1:3 @Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort;

bbe@2Corinthians:1:5 @For as we undergo more of the pain which Christ underwent, so through Christ does our comfort become greater.

bbe@2Corinthians:1:6 @But if we are troubled, it is for your comfort and salvation; or if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which takes effect through your quiet undergoing of the same troubles which we undergo:

bbe@2Corinthians:1:8 @For it is our desire that you may not be without knowledge of our trouble which came on us in Asia, that the weight of it was very great, more than our power, so that it seemed that we had no hope even of life:

bbe@2Corinthians:1:9 @Yes, we ourselves have had the answer of death in ourselves, so that our hope might not be in ourselves, but in God who is able to give life to the dead:

bbe@2Corinthians:1:11 @You at the same time helping together by your prayer for us; so that for what has been given to us through a number of persons, praise may go up to God for us from all of them.

bbe@2Corinthians:1:12 @For our glory is in this, in the knowledge which we have that our way of life in the world, and most of all in relation to you, has been holy and true in the eyes of God; not in the wisdom of the flesh, but in the grace of God.

bbe@2Corinthians:1:14 @Even as you have been ready, in part, to say that we are your glory, in the same way that you are ours, in the day of the Lord Jesus.

bbe@2Corinthians:1:15 @And being certain of this, it was my purpose to come to you before, so that you might have a second grace;

bbe@2Corinthians:1:16 @And by way of Corinth to go into Macedonia, and from there to come back again to you, so that you might send me on my way to Judaea.

bbe@2Corinthians:1:19 @For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, whom we were preaching among you, even I and Silvanus and Timothy, was not Yes and No, but in him is Yes.

bbe@2Corinthians:1:20 @For he is the Yes to all the undertakings of God: and by him all the words of God are made certain and put into effect, to the glory of God through us.

bbe@2Corinthians:1:21 @Now he who makes our faith strong together with you, in Christ, and has given us of his grace, is God;

bbe@2Corinthians:1:22 @And it is he who has put his stamp on us, even the Spirit, as the sign in our hearts of the coming glory.

bbe@2Corinthians:1:24 @Not that we have authority over your faith, but we are helpers of your joy: for it is faith which is your support.

bbe@2Corinthians:2:3 @And I said this very thing in my letter, for fear that when I came I might have sorrow from those from whom it was right for me to have joy; being certain of this, that my joy is the joy of you all.

bbe@2Corinthians:2:4 @For out of much trouble and pain of heart and much weeping I sent my letter to you; not to give you sorrow, but so that you might see how great is the love which I have to you.

bbe@2Corinthians:2:5 @But if anyone has been a cause of sorrow, he has been so, not to me only, but in some measure to all of you (I say this that I may not be over-hard on you).

bbe@2Corinthians:2:9 @And for the same reason I sent you a letter so that I might be certain of your desire to do my orders in all things.

bbe@2Corinthians:2:10 @But if you give forgiveness to anyone, I do the same: for if I have given forgiveness for anything, I have done it because of you, in the person of Christ;

bbe@2Corinthians:2:11 @So that Satan may not get the better of us: for we are not without knowledge of his designs.

bbe@2Corinthians:2:12 @Now when I came to Troas for the good news of Christ, and there was an open door for me in the Lord,

bbe@2Corinthians:2:14 @But praise be to God who makes us strong to overcome in Christ, and makes clear through us in every place the value of the knowledge of him.

bbe@2Corinthians:2:15 @For we are a sweet perfume of Christ to God in those who are getting salvation and in those who are going to destruction;

bbe@2Corinthians:2:16 @To the one it is a perfume of death to death; to the other a perfume of life to life. And who is enough for such things?

bbe@2Corinthians:2:17 @For we are not like the great number who make use of the word of God for profit: but our words are true, as from God, being said as before God in Christ.

bbe@2Corinthians:3:1 @Do we seem to be again attempting to put ourselves in the right? or have we need, as some have, of letters of approval to you or from you?

bbe@2Corinthians:3:3 @For you are clearly a letter of Christ, the fruit of our work, recorded not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in stone, but in hearts of flesh.

bbe@2Corinthians:3:6 @Who has made us able to be servants of a new agreement; not of the letter, but of the Spirit: for the letter gives death, but the Spirit gives life.

bbe@2Corinthians:3:7 @For if the operation of the law, giving death, recorded in letters on stone, came with glory, so that the eyes of the children of Israel had to be turned away from the face of Moses because of its glory, a glory which was only for a time:

bbe@2Corinthians:3:8 @Will not the operation of the Spirit have a much greater glory?

bbe@2Corinthians:3:9 @For if the operation of the law, producing punishment, had its glory, how much greater will be the operation of the Spirit causing righteousness?

bbe@2Corinthians:3:10 @For the glory of the first no longer seems to be glory, because of the greater glory of that which comes after

bbe@2Corinthians:3:13 @And are not like Moses, who put a veil on his face, so that the children of Israel might not see clearly to the end of the present order of things:

bbe@2Corinthians:3:14 @But their minds were made hard: for to this very day at the reading of the old agreement the same veil is still unlifted; though it is taken away in Christ.

bbe@2Corinthians:3:15 @But to this day, at the reading of the law of Moses, a veil is over their heart.

bbe@2Corinthians:3:17 @Now the Lord is the Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there the heart is free.

bbe@2Corinthians:3:18 @But we all, with unveiled face giving back as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord who is the Spirit.

bbe@2Corinthians:4:1 @For this reason, because we have been made servants of this new order, through the mercy given to us, we are strong:

bbe@2Corinthians:4:2 @And we have given up the secret things of shame, not walking in false ways, and not making use of the word of God with deceit; but by the revelation of what is true, as before God, we have the approval of every man's sense of right and wrong.

bbe@2Corinthians:4:4 @Because the god of this world has made blind the minds of those who have not faith, so that the light of the good news of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, might not be shining on them.

bbe@2Corinthians:4:6 @Seeing that it is God who said, Let light be shining out of the dark, who has put in our hearts the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

bbe@2Corinthians:4:7 @But we have this wealth in vessels of earth, so that it may be seen that the power comes not from us but from God;

bbe@2Corinthians:4:8 @Troubles are round us on every side, but we are not shut in; things are hard for us, but we see a way out of them;

bbe@2Corinthians:4:10 @In our bodies there is ever the mark of the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may be seen in our bodies

bbe@2Corinthians:4:11 @For, while living, we are still being given up to death because of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may be seen in our flesh, though it is under the power of death.

bbe@2Corinthians:4:13 @But having the same spirit of faith, as it is said in the Writings, The words of my mouth came from the faith in my heart; in the same way, our words are the outcome of our faith;

bbe@2Corinthians:4:15 @For we go through all things on account of you, because the greater the number to whom the grace is given, the greater is the praise to the glory of God.

bbe@2Corinthians:4:17 @For our present trouble, which is only for a short time, is working out for us a much greater weight of glory;

bbe@2Corinthians:5:1 @For we are conscious that if this our tent of flesh is taken down, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal, in heaven.

bbe@2Corinthians:5:4 @For truly, we who are in this tent do give out cries of weariness, for the weight of care which is on us; not because we are desiring to be free from the body, but so that we may have our new body, and death may be overcome by life.

bbe@2Corinthians:5:5 @Now he who has made us for this very thing is God, who has given us the Spirit as a witness of what is to come.

bbe@2Corinthians:5:10 @For we all have to come before Christ to be judged; so that every one of us may get his reward for the things done in the body, good or bad.

bbe@2Corinthians:5:11 @Having in mind, then, the fear of the Lord, we put these things before men, but God sees our hearts; and it is my hope that we may seem right in your eyes.

bbe@2Corinthians:5:12 @We are not again requesting your approval, but we are giving you the chance of taking pride in us, so that you may be able to give an answer to those whose glory is in seeming, and not in the heart

bbe@2Corinthians:5:14 @For it is the love of Christ which is moving us; because we are of the opinion that if one was put to death for all, then all have undergone death;

bbe@2Corinthians:5:16 @For this reason, from this time forward we have knowledge of no man after the flesh: even if we have had knowledge of Christ after the flesh, we have no longer any such knowledge.

bbe@2Corinthians:5:18 @But all things are of God, who has made us at peace with himself through Christ, and has given to us the work of making peace;

bbe@2Corinthians:5:19 @That is, that God was in Christ making peace between the world and himself, not putting their sins to their account, and having given to us the preaching of this news of peace.

bbe@2Corinthians:5:20 @So we are the representatives of Christ, as if God was making a request to you through us: we make our request to you, in the name of Christ, be at peace with God.

bbe@2Corinthians:5:21 @For him who had no knowledge of sin God made to be sin for us; so that we might become the righteousness of God in him.

bbe@2Corinthians:6:1 @We then, working together with God, make our request to you not to take the grace of God to no purpose.

bbe@2Corinthians:6:2 @(For he says, I have given ear to you at a good time, and I have been your helper in a day of salvation: see, now is the good time; now is the day of salvation):

bbe@2Corinthians:6:4 @But in everything making it clear that we are the servants of God, in quiet strength, in troubles, in need, in sorrow,

bbe@2Corinthians:6:7 @In the true word, in the power of God; with the arms of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,

bbe@2Corinthians:6:10 @As full of sorrow, but ever glad; as poor, but giving wealth to others; as having nothing, but still having all things.

bbe@2Corinthians:6:13 @Now to give me back payment of the same sort (I am talking as to my children), let your hearts be wide open to me.

bbe@2Corinthians:6:16 @And what agreement has the house of God with images? for we are a house of the living God; even as God has said, I will be living among them, and walking with them; and I will be their God, and they will be my people.

bbe@2Corinthians:6:18 @And will be a Father to you; and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord, the Ruler of all.

bbe@2Corinthians:7:1 @Because God, then, will give us such rewards, dear brothers, let us make ourselves clean from all evil of flesh and spirit, and become completely holy in the fear of God.

bbe@2Corinthians:7:2 @Let your hearts be open to us: we have done no man wrong, no man has been damaged by us, we have made no profit out of any man,

bbe@2Corinthians:7:3 @It is not with the purpose of judging you that I say this: for I have said before that you are in our hearts for life and death together.

bbe@2Corinthians:7:4 @My words to you are without fear, I am full of pride on account of you: I have great comfort and joy in all our troubles.

bbe@2Corinthians:7:6 @But God who gives comfort to the poor in spirit gave us comfort by the coming of Titus;

bbe@2Corinthians:7:7 @And not by his coming only, but by the comfort which he had in you, while he gave us word of your desire, your sorrow, your care for me; so that I was still more glad.

bbe@2Corinthians:7:9 @Now I am glad, not that you had sorrow, but that your sorrow was the cause of a change of heart; for yours was a holy sorrow so that you might undergo no loss by us in anything.

bbe@2Corinthians:7:10 @For the sorrow which God gives is the cause of salvation through a change of heart, in which there is no reason for grief: but the sorrow of the world is a cause of death.

bbe@2Corinthians:7:11 @For you see what care was produced in you by this very sorrow of yours before God, what clearing of yourselves, what wrath against sin, what fear, what desire, what serious purpose, what punishment. In everything you have made it clear that you are free from sin in this business.

bbe@2Corinthians:7:12 @So though I sent you a letter, it was not only because of the man who did the wrong, or because of him to whom the wrong was done, but so that your true care for us might be made clear in the eyes of God.

bbe@2Corinthians:7:13 @So we have been comforted: and we had the greater joy in our comfort because of the joy of Titus, for his spirit had been made glad by you all.

bbe@2Corinthians:7:15 @And his love to you is the more increased by his memory of you all, how you gave way to his authority, and how you took him to your hearts with fear and honour.

bbe@2Corinthians:7:16 @It gives me great joy to see you answering to my good opinion of you in every way

bbe@2Corinthians:8:1 @And now we give you news, brothers, about the grace of God which has been given to the churches of Macedonia;

bbe@2Corinthians:8:2 @How while they were undergoing every sort of trouble, and were in the greatest need, they took all the greater joy in being able to give freely to the needs of others.

bbe@2Corinthians:8:3 @For I give them witness, that as they were able, and even more than they were able, they gave from the impulse of their hearts,

bbe@2Corinthians:8:4 @Seriously requesting us that they might have a part in this grace of being servants to the needs of the saints:

bbe@2Corinthians:8:5 @And going even farther than our hope, they first gave themselves to the Lord and to us after the purpose of God.

bbe@2Corinthians:8:7 @And that as you are full of every good thing, of faith, of the word, of knowledge, of a ready mind, and of love to us, so you may be full of this grace in the same way.

bbe@2Corinthians:8:8 @I am not giving you an order, but using the ready mind of others as a test of the quality of your love.

bbe@2Corinthians:8:9 @For you see the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, how though he had wealth, he became poor on your account, so that through his need you might have wealth.

bbe@2Corinthians:8:10 @And in this I give my opinion: for it is to your profit, who were the first to make a start a year before, not only to do this, but to make clear that your minds were more than ready to do it.

bbe@2Corinthians:8:11 @Then make the doing of it complete; so that as you had a ready mind, you may give effect to it as you are able.

bbe@2Corinthians:8:12 @For if there is a ready mind, a man will have God's approval in the measure of what he has, and not of what he has not.

bbe@2Corinthians:8:13 @And I am not saying this so that others may get off free, while the weight comes on you:

bbe@2Corinthians:8:14 @But so that things may be equal; that from those things of which you have more than enough at the present time their need may be helped, and that if you are in any need they may be a help to you in the same way, making things equal.

bbe@2Corinthians:8:16 @But praise be to God, who puts the same care for you into the heart of Titus.

bbe@2Corinthians:8:17 @For while he gladly gave ear to our request, he was interested enough to go to you from the impulse of his heart.

bbe@2Corinthians:8:19 @And not only so, but he was marked out by the churches to go with us in the grace of this giving which we have undertaken to the glory of the Lord and to make clear that our mind was ready:

bbe@2Corinthians:8:20 @And so that no man might be able to say anything against us in the business of this giving which has been put into our hands:

bbe@2Corinthians:8:21 @For the business has been so ordered by us as to have the approval, not only of the Lord, but of men.

bbe@2Corinthians:8:22 @And we have sent with them our brother, whose ready spirit has been made clear to us at times and in ways without number, but it is now all the more so because of the certain faith which he has in you.

bbe@2Corinthians:8:23 @If any question comes up about Titus, he is my brother-worker, working with me for you; or about the others, they are the representatives of the churches to the glory of Christ.

bbe@2Corinthians:8:24 @Make clear then to them, as representatives of the churches, the quality of your love, and that the things which we have said about you are true.

bbe@2Corinthians:9:2 @For I have before made clear to those of Macedonia my pride in your ready mind, saying to them that Achaia has been ready for a year back; and a great number have been moved to do the same by your example.

bbe@2Corinthians:9:5 @So it seemed to me wise for the brothers to go before, and see that the amount which you had undertaken to give was ready, so that it might be a cause for praise, and not as if we were making profit out of you.

bbe@2Corinthians:9:6 @But in the Writings it says, He who puts in only a small number of seeds, will get in the same; and he who puts them in from a full hand, will have produce in full measure from them.

bbe@2Corinthians:9:7 @Let every man do after the purpose of his heart; not giving with grief, or by force: for God takes pleasure in a ready giver.

bbe@2Corinthians:9:8 @And God is able to give you all grace in full measure; so that ever having enough of all things, you may be full of every good work:

bbe@2Corinthians:9:10 @And he who gives seed for putting into the field and bread for food, will take care of the growth of your seed, at the same time increasing the fruits of your righteousness;

bbe@2Corinthians:9:12 @For this work of giving not only takes care of the needs of the saints, but is the cause of much praise to God;

bbe@2Corinthians:9:13 @For when, through this work of giving, they see what you are, they give glory to God for the way in which you have given yourselves to the good news of Christ, and for the wealth of your giving to them and to all;

bbe@2Corinthians:9:14 @While their hearts go out to you in love and in prayer for you, because of the great grace of God which is in you.

bbe@2Corinthians:10:1 @Now I, Paul, myself make request to you by the quiet and gentle behaviour of Christ, I who am poor in spirit when with you, but who say what is in my mind to you without fear when I am away from you:

bbe@2Corinthians:10:2 @Yes, I make my request to you, so that when I am with you I may not have to make use of the authority which may be needed against some to whom we seem to be walking after the flesh.

bbe@2Corinthians:10:3 @For though we may be living in the flesh, we are not fighting after the way of the flesh

bbe@2Corinthians:10:4 @(For the arms with which we are fighting are not those of the flesh, but are strong before God for the destruction of high places);

bbe@2Corinthians:10:5 @Putting an end to reasonings, and every high thing which is lifted up against the knowledge of God, and causing every thought to come under the authority of Christ;

bbe@2Corinthians:10:8 @For though I might take pride in our authority (which the Lord gave for building you up, and not for your destruction), it will not be a cause of shame to me:

bbe@2Corinthians:10:9 @That I may not seem to have the desire of causing you fear by my letters

bbe@2Corinthians:10:10 @For his letters, they say, have weight and are strong; but in body he is feeble, and his way of talking has little force.

bbe@2Corinthians:10:12 @For we will not make comparison of ourselves with some of those who say good things about themselves: but these, measuring themselves by themselves, and making comparison of themselves with themselves, are not wise.

bbe@2Corinthians:10:13 @We will not give glory to ourselves in over-great measure, but after the measure of the rule which God has given us, a measure which comes even to you.

bbe@2Corinthians:10:14 @For we have no need to make ourselves seem more than we are, as if our authority did not come as far as to you: for we came even as far as you with the good news of Christ:

bbe@2Corinthians:10:15 @Not taking credit to ourselves for what is not our business, that is, for the work of others; but having hope that, with the growth of your faith, we may get the credit for an increase which is the effect of our work,

bbe@2Corinthians:10:18 @For the Lord's approval of a man is not dependent on his opinion of himself, but on the Lord's opinion of him.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:3 @But I have a fear, that in some way, as Eve was tricked by the deceit of the snake, your minds may be turned away from their simple and holy love for Christ.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:4 @For if anyone comes preaching another Jesus from the one whose preachers we are, or if you have got a different spirit, or a different sort of good news from those which came to you, how well you put up with these things.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:5 @For in my opinion, I am in no way less than the most important of the Apostles.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:6 @But though I am rough in my way of talking, I am not so in knowledge, as we have made clear to all by our acts among you.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:7 @Or did I do wrong in making myself low so that you might be lifted up, because I gave you the good news of God without reward?

bbe@2Corinthians:11:10 @As the true word of Christ is in me, I will let no man take from me this my cause of pride in the country of Achaia.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:12 @But what I do, that I will go on doing, so that I may give no chance to those who are looking for one; so that, in the cause of their pride, they may be seen to be the same as we are.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:13 @For such men are false Apostles, workers of deceit, making themselves seem like Apostles of Christ.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:14 @And it is no wonder; for even Satan himself is able to take the form of an angel of light.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:15 @So it is no great thing if his servants make themselves seem to be servants of righteousness; whose end will be the reward of their works.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:17 @What I am now saying is not by the order of the Lord, but as a foolish person, taking credit to myself, as it seems.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:20 @You put up with a man if he makes servants of you, if he makes profit out of you, if he makes you prisoners, if he puts himself in a high place, if he gives you blows on the face.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:21 @I say this by way of shaming ourselves, as if we had been feeble. But if anyone puts himself forward (I am talking like a foolish person), I will do the same.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:22 @Are they Hebrews? so am I. Are they of Israel? so am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? so am I.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:23 @Are they servants of Christ? (I am talking foolishly) I am more so; I have had more experience of hard work, of prisons, of blows more than measure, of death.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:27 @In hard work and weariness, in frequent watchings, going without food and drink, cold and in need of clothing.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:28 @In addition to all the other things, there is that which comes on me every day, the care of all the churches.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:29 @Who is feeble and I am not feeble? who is in danger of falling, and I am not angry?

bbe@2Corinthians:11:31 @The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to whom be praise for ever, is witness that the things which I say are true.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:32 @In Damascus, the ruler under Aretas the king kept watch over the town of the people of Damascus, in order to take me:

bbe@2Corinthians:12:1 @As it is necessary for me to take glory to myself, though it is not a good thing, I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.

bbe@2Corinthians:12:2 @I have knowledge of a man in Christ, fourteen years back (if he was in the body, or out of the body, I am not able to say, but God only), who was taken up to the third heaven.

bbe@2Corinthians:12:3 @And I have knowledge of such a man (if he was in the body, or out of the body, I am not able to say, but God only),

bbe@2Corinthians:12:5 @On account of such a one I will have glory: for myself I will take no glory, but only in my feeble body.

bbe@2Corinthians:12:9 @And he said to me, My grace is enough for you, for my power is made complete in what is feeble. Most gladly, then, will I take pride in my feeble body, so that the power of Christ may be on me.

bbe@2Corinthians:12:10 @So I take pleasure in being feeble, in unkind words, in needs, in cruel attacks, in troubles, on account of Christ: for when I am feeble, then am I strong.

bbe@2Corinthians:12:11 @I have been forced by you to become foolish, though it was right for my praise to have come from you: for in no way was I less than the chief of the Apostles, though I am nothing.

bbe@2Corinthians:12:12 @Truly the signs of an Apostle were done among you in quiet strength, with wonders and acts of power.

bbe@2Corinthians:12:17 @Did I make a profit out of you by any of those whom I sent to you?

bbe@2Corinthians:12:18 @I gave orders to Titus, and I sent the brother with him. Did Titus make any profit out of you? were we not guided by the same Spirit, in the same ways?

bbe@2Corinthians:12:19 @It may seem to you that all this time we have been attempting to put ourselves in the right; but we are saying these things before God in Christ. For all things, dear brothers, are for your profit.

bbe@2Corinthians:12:20 @For I have a fear that, when I come, you may not be answering to my desire, and that I may not be answering to yours; that there may be fighting, hate, angry feeling, divisions, evil talk about others, secrets, thoughts of pride, outbursts against authority;

bbe@2Corinthians:12:21 @And that when I come again, my God may put me to shame among you, and I may have grief for those who have done wrong before and have had no regret for their unclean ways, and for the evil desires of the flesh to which they have given way.

bbe@2Corinthians:13:1 @This is the third time that I am coming to you. From the mouth of two or three witnesses will every word be made certain.

bbe@2Corinthians:13:3 @Seeing that you are looking for a sign of Christ giving out his word in me; who is not feeble in relation to you, but is strong in you:

bbe@2Corinthians:13:4 @For he was feeble in that he was put to death on the cross, but he is living by the power of God. And we are feeble in him, but we will be living with him through the power of God in relation to you.

bbe@2Corinthians:13:5 @Make a test of yourselves, if you are in the faith; make certain of yourselves. Or are you not conscious in yourselves that Jesus Christ is in you, if you are truly Christ's?

bbe@2Corinthians:13:10 @For this cause I am writing these things while I am away, so that there may be need for me, when I am present, to make use of sharp measures, by the authority which the Lord has given me for building up and not for destruction.

bbe@2Corinthians:13:11 @Let this be my last word, brothers; be glad; be complete; be comforted; be of the same mind; be at peace with one another: and the God of love and peace will be with you.

bbe@2Corinthians:13:14 @The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the harmony of the Holy Spirit, be with you all.

bbe@Galatians:1:2 @And all the brothers who are with me, to the churches of Galatia:

bbe@Galatians:1:4 @Who gave himself for our sins, so that he might make us free from this present evil world, after the purpose of our God and Father:

bbe@Galatians:1:6 @I am surprised that you are being so quickly turned away from him whose word came to you in the grace of Christ, to good news of a different sort;

bbe@Galatians:1:7 @Which is not another sort: only there are some who give you trouble, desiring to make changes in the good news of Christ.

bbe@Galatians:1:8 @But even if we, or an angel from heaven, were to be a preacher to you of good news other than that which we have given you, let there be a curse on him.

bbe@Galatians:1:9 @As we have said before, so say I now again, If any man is a preacher to you of any good news other than that which has been given to you, let there be a curse on him.

bbe@Galatians:1:10 @Am I now using arguments to men, or God? or is it my desire to give men pleasure? if I was still pleasing men, I would not be a servant of Christ.

bbe@Galatians:1:11 @Because I say to you, my brothers, that the good news of which I was the preacher is not man's.

bbe@Galatians:1:12 @For I did not get it from man, and I was not given teaching in it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus Christ.

bbe@Galatians:1:13 @For news has come to you of my way of life in the past in the Jews' religion, how I was cruel without measure to the church of God, and did great damage to it:

bbe@Galatians:1:14 @And I went farther in the Jews' religion than a number of my generation among my countrymen, having a more burning interest in the beliefs handed down from my fathers.

bbe@Galatians:1:15 @But when it was the good pleasure of God, by whom I was marked out even from my mother's body, through his grace,

bbe@Galatians:1:16 @To give the revelation of his Son in me, so that I might give the news of him to the Gentiles; then I did not take the opinion of flesh and blood,

bbe@Galatians:1:19 @But of the other Apostles I saw only James, the Lord's brother.

bbe@Galatians:1:21 @Then I came to the parts of Syria and Cilicia.

bbe@Galatians:1:22 @And the churches of Judaea which were in Christ still had no knowledge of my face or person:

bbe@Galatians:2:1 @Then after the space of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus with me.

bbe@Galatians:2:2 @And I went up by revelation; and I put before them the good news which I was preaching among the Gentiles, but privately before those who were of good name, so that the work which I was or had been doing might not be without effect.

bbe@Galatians:2:4 @And that because of the false brothers let in secretly, who came searching out our free condition which we have in Christ Jesus, so that they might make servants of us;

bbe@Galatians:2:5 @To whom we gave way not even for an hour; so that the true words of the good news might still be with you.

bbe@Galatians:2:7 @But, quite the opposite, when they saw that I had been made responsible for preaching the good news to those without circumcision, even as Peter had been for those of the circumcision

bbe@Galatians:2:8 @(Because he who was working in Peter as the Apostle of the circumcision was working no less in me among the Gentiles);

bbe@Galatians:2:9 @When they saw the grace which was given to me, James and Cephas and John, who had the name of being pillars, gave to me and Barnabas their right hands as friends so that we might go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcision;

bbe@Galatians:2:12 @For before certain men came from James, he did take food with the Gentiles: but when they came, he went back and made himself separate, fearing those who were of the circumcision.

bbe@Galatians:2:13 @And the rest of the Jews went after him, so that even Barnabas was overcome by their false ways.

bbe@Galatians:2:14 @But when I saw that they were not living uprightly in agreement with the true words of the good news, I said to Cephas before them all, If you, being a Jew, are living like the Gentiles, and not like the Jews, how will you make the Gentiles do the same as the Jews?

bbe@Galatians:2:15 @We being Jews by birth, and not sinners of the Gentiles,

bbe@Galatians:2:16 @Being conscious that a man does not get righteousness by the works of the law, but through faith in Jesus Christ, we had faith in Christ Jesus, so that we might get righteousness by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law: because by the works of the law will no flesh get righteousness.

bbe@Galatians:2:17 @But if, while we were desiring to get righteousness through Christ, we ourselves were seen to be sinners, is Christ a servant of sin? In no way!

bbe@Galatians:2:20 @I have been put to death on the cross with Christ; still I am living; no longer I, but Christ is living in me; and that life which I now am living in the flesh I am living by faith, the faith of the Son of God, who in love for me, gave himself up for me.

bbe@Galatians:2:21 @I do not make the grace of God of no effect: because if righteousness is through the law, then Christ was put to death for nothing.

bbe@Galatians:3:2 @Give me an answer to this one question, Did the Spirit come to you through the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

bbe@Galatians:3:4 @Did you undergo such a number of things to no purpose? if it is in fact to no purpose.

bbe@Galatians:3:5 @He who gives you the Spirit, and does works of power among you, is it by the works of law, or by the hearing of faith?

bbe@Galatians:3:7 @Be certain, then, that those who are of faith, the same are sons of Abraham.

bbe@Galatians:3:9 @So then those who are of faith have a part in the blessing of Abraham who was full of faith.

bbe@Galatians:3:10 @For all who are of the works of the law are under a curse: because it is said in the Writings, A curse is on everyone who does not keep on doing all the things which are ordered in the book of the law

bbe@Galatians:3:11 @Now that no man gets righteousness by the law in the eyes of God, is clear; because, The upright will be living by faith.

bbe@Galatians:3:12 @And the law is not of faith; but, He who does them will have life by them.

bbe@Galatians:3:13 @Christ has made us free from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us: because it is said in the Writings, A curse on everyone who is put to death by hanging on a tree:

bbe@Galatians:3:14 @So that on the Gentiles might come the blessing of Abraham in Christ Jesus; in order that we through faith might have the Spirit which God had undertaken to give.

bbe@Galatians:3:16 @Now to Abraham were the undertakings given, and to his seed. He says not, And to seeds, as of a great number; but as of one, he says, And to your seed, which is Christ.

bbe@Galatians:3:18 @Because if the heritage is by the law, it is no longer dependent on the word of God; but God gave it to Abraham by his word.

bbe@Galatians:3:19 @What then is the law? It was an addition made because of sin, till the coming of the seed to whom the undertaking had been given; and it was ordered through angels by the hand of a go-between.

bbe@Galatians:3:20 @Now a go-between is not a go-between of one; but God is one.

bbe@Galatians:3:21 @Is the law then against the words of God? in no way; because if there had been a law which was able to give life, truly righteousness would have been by the law.

bbe@Galatians:3:23 @But before faith came, we were kept in prison under the law, waiting for the revelation of the faith which was to come.

bbe@Galatians:3:26 @Because you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.

bbe@Galatians:3:27 @For all those of you who were given baptism into Christ did put on Christ.

bbe@Galatians:3:29 @And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed, and yours is the heritage by the right of God's undertaking given to Abraham.

bbe@Galatians:4:1 @But I say that as long as the son is a child, he is in no way different from a servant, though he is lord of all;

bbe@Galatians:4:3 @So we, when we were young, were kept under the first rules of the world;

bbe@Galatians:4:4 @But when the time had come, God sent out his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,

bbe@Galatians:4:5 @That he might make them free who were under the law, and that we might be given the place of sons.

bbe@Galatians:4:6 @And because you are sons, God has sent out the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, saying, Abba, Father.

bbe@Galatians:4:7 @So that you are no longer a servant, but a son; and if a son, then the heritage of God is yours.

bbe@Galatians:4:8 @But at that time, having no knowledge of God, you were servants to those who by right are no gods:

bbe@Galatians:4:9 @But now that you have come to have knowledge of God, or more truly, God has knowledge of you, how is it that you go back again to the poor and feeble first things, desiring to be servants to them again?

bbe@Galatians:4:11 @I am in fear of you, that I may have been working for you to no purpose.

bbe@Galatians:4:14 @And you did not have a poor opinion of me because of the trouble in my flesh, or put shame on it; but you took me to your hearts as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.

bbe@Galatians:4:15 @Where then is that happy condition of yours? because I give you witness, that, if possible, you would have taken out your eyes and given them to me.

bbe@Galatians:4:19 @My children, of whom I am again in birth-pains till Christ is formed in you,

bbe@Galatians:4:23 @Now the son by the servant-woman has his birth after the flesh; but the son by the free woman has his birth through the undertaking of God.

bbe@Galatians:4:24 @Which things have a secret sense; because these women are the two agreements; one from the mountain of Sinai, giving birth to servants, which is Hagar.

bbe@Galatians:4:25 @Now this Hagar is the mountain Sinai in Arabia, and is the image of the Jerusalem which now is: which is a servant with her children.

bbe@Galatians:4:27 @For it is in the Writings, You who have never given birth, be glad; give cries of joy, you who have had no birth-pains; for the children of her who has been given up by her husband are more than those of the woman who has a husband.

bbe@Galatians:4:28 @Now we, brothers, as Isaac was, are the children of the undertaking of God.

bbe@Galatians:4:30 @What then do the Writings say? Send away the servant-woman and her son; for the son of the servant-woman will not have a part in the heritage with the son of the free woman.

bbe@Galatians:4:31 @So, brothers, we are not children of the servant-woman, but of the free woman.

bbe@Galatians:5:2 @See, I Paul say to you, that if you undergo circumcision, Christ will be of no use to you.

bbe@Galatians:5:4 @You are cut off from Christ, you who would have righteousness by the law; you are turned away from grace.

bbe@Galatians:5:5 @For we through the Spirit by faith are waiting for the hope of righteousness.

bbe@Galatians:5:6 @Because in Christ Jesus, having circumcision or not having circumcision are equally of no profit; but only faith working through love.

bbe@Galatians:5:7 @You were going on well; who was the cause of your not giving ear to what is true?

bbe@Galatians:5:10 @I am certain about you in the Lord, that you will be of no other mind; but he who is troubling you will have his punishment, whoever he is.

bbe@Galatians:5:11 @But I, brothers, if I am still preaching circumcision, why am I still attacked? then has the shame of the cross been taken away.

bbe@Galatians:5:12 @My desire is that they who give you trouble might even be cut off themselves

bbe@Galatians:5:13 @Because you, brothers, were marked out to be free; only do not make use of your free condition to give the flesh its chance, but through love be servants one to another.

bbe@Galatians:5:15 @But if you are given to fighting with one another, take care that you are not the cause of destruction one to another.

bbe@Galatians:5:16 @But I say, Go on in the Spirit, and you will not come under the rule of the evil desires of the flesh.

bbe@Galatians:5:19 @Now the works of the flesh are clear, which are these: evil desire, unclean things, wrong use of the senses,

bbe@Galatians:5:20 @Worship of images, use of strange powers, hates, fighting, desire for what another has, angry feelings, attempts to get the better of others, divisions, false teachings,

bbe@Galatians:5:21 @Envy, uncontrolled drinking and feasting, and such things: of which I give you word clearly, even as I did in the past, that they who do such things will have no part in the kingdom of God.

bbe@Galatians:5:22 @But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, a quiet mind, kind acts, well-doing, faith,

bbe@Galatians:5:26 @Let us not be full of self-glory, making one another angry, having envy of one another.

bbe@Galatians:6:1 @Brothers, if a man is taken in any wrongdoing, you who are of the Spirit will put such a one right in a spirit of love; keeping watch on yourself, for fear that you yourself may be tested.

bbe@Galatians:6:2 @Take on yourselves one another's troubles, and so keep the law of Christ.

bbe@Galatians:6:4 @But let every man make test of his work, and then will his cause for glory be in himself only, and not in his neighbour.

bbe@Galatians:6:5 @Because every man is responsible for his part of the work.

bbe@Galatians:6:7 @Be not tricked; God is not made sport of: for whatever seed a man puts in, that will he get back as grain.

bbe@Galatians:6:8 @Because he who puts in the seed of the flesh will of the flesh get the reward of death; but he who puts in the seed of the Spirit will of the Spirit get the reward of eternal life.

bbe@Galatians:6:9 @And let us not get tired of well-doing; for at the right time we will get in the grain, if we do not give way to weariness.

bbe@Galatians:6:10 @So then, as we have the chance, let us do good to all men, and specially to those who are of the family of the faith.

bbe@Galatians:6:11 @See the size of the handwriting which I myself have made use of in writing to you.

bbe@Galatians:6:12 @Those who have the desire to seem important in the flesh, put force on you to undergo circumcision; only that they may not be attacked because of the cross of Christ.

bbe@Galatians:6:14 @But far be it from me to have glory in anything, but only in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which this world has come to an end on the cross for me, and I for it

bbe@Galatians:6:15 @For having circumcision is nothing, and not having circumcision is nothing, but only a new order of existence.

bbe@Galatians:6:16 @And on all who are guided by this rule be peace and mercy, and on the Israel of God.

bbe@Galatians:6:17 @From this time on let no man be a trouble to me; because my body is marked with the marks of Jesus.

bbe@Galatians:6:18 @The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. So be it.

bbe@Ephesians:1:1 @Paul, an Apostle of Christ Jesus by the purpose of God, to the saints who are at Ephesus, and those who have faith in Christ Jesus:

bbe@Ephesians:1:3 @Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has given us every blessing of the Spirit in the heavens in Christ:

bbe@Ephesians:1:4 @Even as he made selection of us in him from the first, so that we might be holy and free from all evil before him in love:

bbe@Ephesians:1:5 @As we were designed before by him for the position of sons to himself, through Jesus Christ, in the good pleasure of his purpose,

bbe@Ephesians:1:6 @To the praise of the glory of his grace, which he freely gave to us in the Loved One:

bbe@Ephesians:1:7 @In whom we have salvation through his blood, the forgiveness of our sins, through the wealth of his grace,

bbe@Ephesians:1:9 @Having made clear to us the secret of his purpose, in agreement with the design which he had in mind, to put into his hands

bbe@Ephesians:1:10 @The ordering of the times when they are complete, so that all things might come to a head in Christ, the things in heaven and the things on the earth; in him, I say,

bbe@Ephesians:1:13 @In whom you, having been given the true word, the good news of your salvation, and through your faith in him, were given the sign of the Holy Spirit of hope,

bbe@Ephesians:1:14 @Which is the first-fruit of our heritage, till God gets back that which is his, to the praise of his glory.

bbe@Ephesians:1:15 @For this cause I, having had news of the faith in the Lord Jesus which is among you, and which you make clear to all the saints,

bbe@Ephesians:1:17 @That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him;

bbe@Ephesians:1:18 @And that having the eyes of your heart full of light, you may have knowledge of what is the hope of his purpose, what is the wealth of the glory of his heritage in the saints,

bbe@Ephesians:1:19 @And how unlimited is his power to us who have faith, as is seen in the working of the strength of his power,

bbe@Ephesians:1:23 @Which is his body, the full measure of him in whom all things are made complete.

bbe@Ephesians:2:2 @In which you were living in the past, after the ways of this present world, doing the pleasure of the lord of the power of the air, the spirit who is now working in those who go against the purpose of God;

bbe@Ephesians:2:3 @Among whom we all at one time were living in the pleasures of our flesh, giving way to the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and the punishment of God was waiting for us even as for the rest.

bbe@Ephesians:2:4 @But God, being full of mercy, through the great love which he had for us,

bbe@Ephesians:2:7 @That in the time to come he might make clear the full wealth of his grace in his mercy to us in Christ Jesus:

bbe@Ephesians:2:8 @Because by grace you have salvation through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is given by God:

bbe@Ephesians:2:12 @That you were at that time without Christ, being cut off from any part in Israel's rights as a nation, having no part in God's agreement, having no hope, and without God in the world.

bbe@Ephesians:2:13 @But now in Christ Jesus you who at one time were far off are made near in the blood of Christ.

bbe@Ephesians:2:14 @For he is our peace, who has made the two into one, and by whom the middle wall of division has been broken down,

bbe@Ephesians:2:15 @Having in his flesh put an end to that which made the division between us, even the law with its rules and orders, so that he might make in himself, of the two, one new man, so making peace;

bbe@Ephesians:2:17 @And he came preaching peace to you who were far off, and to those who were near;

bbe@Ephesians:2:18 @Because through him the two of us are able to come near in one Spirit to the Father.

bbe@Ephesians:2:19 @So then you are no longer as those who have no part or place in the kingdom of God, but you are numbered among the saints, and of the family of God,

bbe@Ephesians:2:20 @Resting on the base of the Apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief keystone,

bbe@Ephesians:2:21 @In whom all the building, rightly joined together, comes to be a holy house of God in the Lord;

bbe@Ephesians:2:22 @In whom you, with the rest, are united together as a living-place of God in the Spirit.

bbe@Ephesians:3:1 @For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you Gentiles,

bbe@Ephesians:3:2 @If that ordering of the grace of God has come to your knowledge, which was given to me for you,

bbe@Ephesians:3:4 @By the reading of which you will be clear about my knowledge of the secret of Christ;

bbe@Ephesians:3:5 @Which in other generations was not given to the sons of men, but the revelation of it has now been made to his holy Apostles and prophets in the Spirit;

bbe@Ephesians:3:7 @Of which I was made a preacher, through that grace of God which was given to me in the measure of the working of his power.

bbe@Ephesians:3:8 @To me, who am less than the least of all the saints, was this grace given, so that I might make clear to the Gentiles the good news of the unending wealth of Christ:

bbe@Ephesians:3:9 @And make all men see what is the ordering of the secret which from the first has been kept in God who made all things;

bbe@Ephesians:3:10 @So that now to the rulers and the authorities in the heavens might be made clear through the church the wide-shining wisdom of God,

bbe@Ephesians:3:13 @For this reason it is my prayer that you may not become feeble because of my troubles for you, which are your glory.

bbe@Ephesians:3:16 @That in the wealth of his glory he would make you strong with power through his Spirit in your hearts;

bbe@Ephesians:3:19 @And to have knowledge of the love of Christ which is outside all knowledge, so that you may be made complete as God himself is complete.

bbe@Ephesians:4:3 @Taking care to keep the harmony of the Spirit in the yoke of peace.

bbe@Ephesians:4:4 @There is one body and one Spirit, even as you have been marked out by God in the one hope of his purpose for you;

bbe@Ephesians:4:6 @One God and Father of all, who is over all, and through all, and in all.

bbe@Ephesians:4:7 @But to every one of us has grace been given in the measure of the giving of Christ.

bbe@Ephesians:4:9 @(Now this, He went up, what is it but that he first went down into the lower parts of the earth?

bbe@Ephesians:4:11 @And he gave some as Apostles, and some, prophets; and some, preachers of the good news; and some to give care and teaching;

bbe@Ephesians:4:12 @For the training of the saints as servants in the church, for the building up of the body of Christ:

bbe@Ephesians:4:13 @Till we all come to the harmony of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to full growth, to the full measure of Christ:

bbe@Ephesians:4:14 @So that we may be no longer children, sent this way and that, turned about by every wind of teaching, by the twisting and tricks of men, by the deceits of error;

bbe@Ephesians:4:16 @Through whom all the body, being rightly formed and united together, by the full working of every part, is increased to the building up of itself in love.

bbe@Ephesians:4:17 @This I say, then, and give witness in the Lord, that you are to go no longer in the way of the Gentiles whose minds are turned to that which has no profit,

bbe@Ephesians:4:18 @Whose thoughts are dark, to whom the life of God is strange because they are without knowledge, and their hearts have been made hard;

bbe@Ephesians:4:19 @Who having no more power of feeling, have given themselves up to evil passions, to do all unclean things with overmuch desire.

bbe@Ephesians:4:20 @For this was not the teaching of Christ which was given to you;

bbe@Ephesians:4:22 @That you are to put away, in relation to your earlier way of life, the old man, which has become evil by love of deceit;

bbe@Ephesians:4:23 @And be made new in the spirit of your mind,

bbe@Ephesians:4:24 @And put on the new man, to which God has given life, in righteousness and a true and holy way of living.

bbe@Ephesians:4:25 @And so, putting away false words, let everyone say what is true to his neighbour: for we are parts one of another.

bbe@Ephesians:4:29 @Let no evil talk come out of your mouth, but only what is good for giving necessary teaching, and for grace to those who give ear.

bbe@Ephesians:4:30 @And do not give grief to the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were marked for the day of salvation.

bbe@Ephesians:4:32 @And be kind to one another, full of pity, having forgiveness for one another, even as God in Christ had forgiveness for you.

bbe@Ephesians:5:2 @And be living in love, even as Christ had love for you, and gave himself up for us, an offering to God for a perfume of a sweet smell.

bbe@Ephesians:5:3 @But evil acts of the flesh and all unclean things, or desire for others' property, let it not even be named among you, as is right for saints;

bbe@Ephesians:5:4 @And let there be no low behaviour, or foolish talk, or words said in sport, which are not right, but in place of them the giving of praise.

bbe@Ephesians:5:5 @Being certain of this, that no man who gives way to the passions of the flesh, no unclean person, or one who has desire for the property of others, or who gives worship to images, has any heritage in the kingdom of Christ and God.

bbe@Ephesians:5:6 @Do not be turned from the right way by foolish words; for because of these things the punishment of God comes on those who do not put themselves under him.

bbe@Ephesians:5:8 @For you at one time were dark, but now are light in the Lord: let your behaviour be that of children of light

bbe@Ephesians:5:9 @(Because the fruit of the light is in all righteousness and in everything which is good and true),

bbe@Ephesians:5:11 @And have no company with the works of the dark, which give no fruit, but make their true quality clear;

bbe@Ephesians:5:16 @Making good use of the time, because the days are evil.

bbe@Ephesians:5:17 @For this reason, then, do not be foolish, but be conscious of the Lord's pleasure.

bbe@Ephesians:5:18 @And do not take overmuch wine by which one may be overcome, but be full of the Spirit;

bbe@Ephesians:5:19 @Joining with one another in holy songs of praise and of the Spirit, using your voice in songs and making melody in your heart to the Lord;

bbe@Ephesians:5:20 @Giving praise at all times for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to God, even the Father;

bbe@Ephesians:5:21 @Letting yourselves be ruled by one another in the fear of Christ.

bbe@Ephesians:5:22 @Wives, be under the authority of your husbands, as of the Lord.

bbe@Ephesians:5:23 @For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ is the head of the church, being himself the saviour of the body.

bbe@Ephesians:5:24 @And as the church is under Christ's authority, so let wives be under the rule of their husbands in all things.

bbe@Ephesians:5:26 @So that he might make it holy, having made it clean with the washing of water by the word,

bbe@Ephesians:5:27 @And might take it for himself, a church full of glory, not having one mark or fold or any such thing; but that it might be holy and complete.

bbe@Ephesians:5:29 @For no man ever had hate for his flesh; but he gives it food and takes care of it, even as Christ does for the church;

bbe@Ephesians:5:30 @Because we are parts of his body.

bbe@Ephesians:6:4 @And, you fathers, do not make your children angry: but give them training in the teaching and fear of the Lord.

bbe@Ephesians:6:6 @Not only under your master's eye, as pleasers of men; but as servants of Christ, doing the pleasure of God from the heart;

bbe@Ephesians:6:9 @And, you masters, do the same things to them, not making use of violent words: in the knowledge that their Master and yours is in heaven, and he has no respect for a man's position.

bbe@Ephesians:6:10 @Lastly, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his power.

bbe@Ephesians:6:11 @Take up God's instruments of war, so that you may be able to keep your position against all the deceits of the Evil One.

bbe@Ephesians:6:12 @For our fight is not against flesh and blood, but against authorities and powers, against the world-rulers of this dark night, against the spirits of evil in the heavens.

bbe@Ephesians:6:13 @For this reason take up all the arms of God, so that you may be able to be strong in the evil day, and, having done all, to keep your place.

bbe@Ephesians:6:14 @Take your place, then, having your body clothed with the true word, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness;

bbe@Ephesians:6:15 @Be ready with the good news of peace as shoes on your feet;

bbe@Ephesians:6:16 @And most of all, using faith as a cover to keep off all the flaming arrows of the Evil One.

bbe@Ephesians:6:17 @And take salvation for your head-dress and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

bbe@Ephesians:6:19 @And for me, that words may be given to me in the opening of my mouth, to make clear without fear the secret of the good news,

bbe@Ephesians:6:21 @But so that you may have knowledge of my business, and how I am, Tychicus, the well-loved brother and tested servant in the Lord, will give you news of all things:

bbe@Ephesians:6:22 @Whom I have sent to you for this very purpose, so that you may have knowledge of our position, and that he may give comfort to your hearts.

bbe@Philippians:1:1 @Paul and Timothy, servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus at Philippi, with the Bishops and Deacons of the church:

bbe@Philippians:1:3 @I give praise to my God at every memory of you,

bbe@Philippians:1:5 @Because of your help in giving the good news from the first day till now;

bbe@Philippians:1:6 @For I am certain of this very thing, that he by whom the good work was started in you will make it complete till the day of Jesus Christ:

bbe@Philippians:1:7 @So it is right for me to take thought for you all in this way, because I have you in my heart; for in my chains, and in my arguments before the judges in support of the good news, making clear that it is true, you all have your part with me in grace.

bbe@Philippians:1:8 @For God is my witness, how my love goes out to you all in the loving mercies of Christ Jesus.

bbe@Philippians:1:10 @So that you may give your approval to the best things; that you may be true and without wrongdoing till the day of Christ;

bbe@Philippians:1:11 @Being full of the fruits of righteousness, which are through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

bbe@Philippians:1:12 @Now it is my purpose to make clear to you, brothers, that the cause of the good news has been helped by my experiences;

bbe@Philippians:1:13 @So that it became clear through all the Praetorium, and to all the rest, that I was a prisoner on account of Christ;

bbe@Philippians:1:14 @And most of the brothers in the Lord, taking heart because of my chains, are all the stronger to give the word of God without fear.

bbe@Philippians:1:15 @Though some are preaching Christ out of envy and competition, others do it out of a good heart:

bbe@Philippians:1:16 @These do it from love, conscious that I am responsible for the cause of the good news:

bbe@Philippians:1:17 @But those are preaching Christ in a spirit of competition, not from their hearts, but with the purpose of giving me pain in my prison.

bbe@Philippians:1:18 @What then? only that in every way, falsely or truly, the preaching of Christ goes on; and in this I am glad, and will be glad.

bbe@Philippians:1:19 @For I am conscious that this will be for my salvation, through your prayer and the giving out of the stored wealth of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

bbe@Philippians:1:20 @In the measure of my strong hope and belief that in nothing will I be put to shame, but that without fear, as at all times, so now will Christ have glory in my body, by life or by death.

bbe@Philippians:1:21 @For to me life is Christ and death is profit.

bbe@Philippians:1:22 @But if I go on living in the flesh--if this is the fruit of my work--then I do not see what decision to make.

bbe@Philippians:1:24 @Still, to go on in the flesh is more necessary because of you.

bbe@Philippians:1:25 @And being certain of this, I am conscious that I will go on, yes, and go on with you all, for your growth and joy in the faith;

bbe@Philippians:1:27 @Only let your behaviour do credit to the good news of Christ, so that if I come and see you or if I am away from you, I may have news of you that you are strong in one spirit, working together with one soul for the faith of the good news;

bbe@Philippians:1:28 @Having no fear of those who are against you; which is a clear sign of their destruction, but of your salvation, and that from God;

bbe@Philippians:1:29 @Because to you it has been given in the cause of Christ not only to have faith in him, but to undergo pain on his account:

bbe@Philippians:1:30 @Fighting the same fight which you saw in me, and now have word of in me.

bbe@Philippians:2:1 @If then there is any comfort in Christ, any help given by love, any uniting of hearts in the Spirit, any loving mercies and pity,

bbe@Philippians:2:2 @Make my joy complete by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in harmony and of one mind;

bbe@Philippians:2:3 @Doing nothing through envy or through pride, but with low thoughts of self let everyone take others to be better than himself;

bbe@Philippians:2:4 @Not looking everyone to his private good, but keeping in mind the things of others.

bbe@Philippians:2:6 @To whom, though himself in the form of God, it did not seem that to take for oneself was to be like God;

bbe@Philippians:2:7 @But he made himself as nothing, taking the form of a servant, being made like men;

bbe@Philippians:2:8 @And being seen in form as a man, he took the lowest place, and let himself be put to death, even the death of the cross.

bbe@Philippians:2:10 @So that at the name of Jesus every knee may be bent, of those in heaven and those on earth and those in the underworld,

bbe@Philippians:2:11 @And that every tongue may give witness that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

bbe@Philippians:2:13 @For it is God who is the cause of your desires and of your acts, for his good pleasure.

bbe@Philippians:2:15 @So that you may be holy and gentle, children of God without sin in a twisted and foolish generation, among whom you are seen as lights in the world,

bbe@Philippians:2:16 @Offering the word of life; so that I may have glory in you in the day of Christ, because my running was not for nothing and my work was not without effect.

bbe@Philippians:2:17 @And even if I am offered like a drink offering, giving myself for the cause and work of your faith, I am glad and have joy with you all:

bbe@Philippians:2:19 @But I am hoping in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you before long, so that I may be comforted when I have news of you.

bbe@Philippians:2:20 @For I have no man of like mind who will truly have care for you.

bbe@Philippians:2:21 @For they all go after what is theirs, not after the things of Christ.

bbe@Philippians:2:22 @But his quality is clear to you; how, as a child is to its father, so he was a help to me in the work of the good news.

bbe@Philippians:2:30 @Because for the work of Christ he was near to death, putting his life in danger to make your care for me complete.

bbe@Philippians:3:2 @Be on the watch against dogs, against the workers of evil, against those of the circumcision:

bbe@Philippians:3:5 @Being given circumcision on the eighth day, of the nation of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; in relation to the law, a Pharisee:

bbe@Philippians:3:6 @In bitter hate I was cruel to the church; I kept all the righteousness of the law to the last detail.

bbe@Philippians:3:7 @But those things which were profit to me, I gave up for Christ.

bbe@Philippians:3:8 @Yes truly, and I am ready to give up all things for the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, which is more than all: for whom I have undergone the loss of all things, and to me they are less than nothing, so that I may have Christ as my reward,

bbe@Philippians:3:9 @And be seen in him, not having my righteousness which is of the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:

bbe@Philippians:3:10 @That I may have knowledge of him, and of the power of his coming back from the dead, and a part with him in his pains, becoming like him in his death;

bbe@Philippians:3:11 @If in any way I may have the reward of life from the dead.

bbe@Philippians:3:12 @Not as if I had even now got the reward or been made complete: but I go on in the hope that I may come to the knowledge of that for which I was made the servant of Christ Jesus.

bbe@Philippians:3:14 @I go forward to the mark, even the reward of the high purpose of God in Christ Jesus.

bbe@Philippians:3:15 @Then let us all, who have come to full growth, be of this mind: and if in anything you are of a different mind, even this will God make clear to you:

bbe@Philippians:3:17 @Brothers, take me as your example, and take note of those who are walking after the example we have given.

bbe@Philippians:3:18 @For there are those, of whom I have given you word before, and do so now with sorrow, who are haters of the cross of Christ;

bbe@Philippians:3:19 @Whose end is destruction, whose god is the stomach, and whose glory is in their shame, whose minds are fixed on the things of the earth.

bbe@Philippians:3:21 @By whom this poor body of ours will be changed into the image of the body of his glory, in the measure of the working by which he is able to put all things under himself.

bbe@Philippians:4:2 @I make request to Euodias and Syntyche to be of the same mind in the Lord.

bbe@Philippians:4:3 @And I make request to you, true helper in my work, to see to the needs of those women who took part with me in the good news, with Clement and the rest of my brother-workers whose names are in the book of life.

bbe@Philippians:4:7 @And the peace of God, which is deeper than all knowledge, will keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

bbe@Philippians:4:8 @For the rest, my brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things have honour, whatever things are upright, whatever things are holy, whatever things are beautiful, whatever things are of value, if there is any virtue and if there is any praise, give thought to these things.

bbe@Philippians:4:9 @The things which came to you by my teaching and preaching, and which you saw in me, these things do, and the God of peace will be with you.

bbe@Philippians:4:12 @It is the same to me if I am looked down on or honoured; everywhere and in all things I have the secret of how to be full and how to go without food; how to have wealth and how to be in need.

bbe@Philippians:4:15 @And you have knowledge, Philippians, that when the good news first came to you, when I went away from Macedonia, no church took part with me in the business of giving to the saints, but you only;

bbe@Philippians:4:17 @Not that I am looking for an offering, but for fruit which may be put to your credit.

bbe@Philippians:4:18 @I have all things and more than enough: I am made full, having had from Epaphroditus the things which came from you, a perfume of a sweet smell, an offering well pleasing to God.

bbe@Philippians:4:19 @And my God will give you all you have need of from the wealth of his glory in Christ Jesus.

bbe@Philippians:4:21 @Give words of love to every saint in Christ Jesus. The brothers who are with me send you their love.

bbe@Philippians:4:22 @All the saints send their love to you, specially those who are of Caesar's house.

bbe@Philippians:4:23 @The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.

bbe@Colossians:1:1 @Paul, an Apostle of Jesus Christ, by the purpose of God, and Timothy our brother,

bbe@Colossians:1:3 @We give praise to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, making prayer for you at all times,

bbe@Colossians:1:4 @After hearing of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which you have for all the saints,

bbe@Colossians:1:5 @Through the hope which is in store for you in heaven; knowledge of which was given to you before in the true word of the good news,

bbe@Colossians:1:6 @Which has come to you; and which in all the world is giving fruit and increase, as it has done in you from the day when it came to your ears and you had true knowledge of the grace of God;

bbe@Colossians:1:7 @As it was given to you by Epaphras, our well-loved helper, who is a true servant of Christ for us,

bbe@Colossians:1:9 @For this reason, we, from the day when we had word of it, keep on in prayer for you, that you may be full of the knowledge of his purpose, with all wisdom and experience of the Spirit,

bbe@Colossians:1:10 @Living uprightly in the approval of the Lord, giving fruit in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;

bbe@Colossians:1:11 @Full of strength in the measure of the great power of his glory, so that you may undergo all troubles with joy;

bbe@Colossians:1:12 @Giving praise to the Father who has given us a part in the heritage of the saints in light;

bbe@Colossians:1:13 @Who has made us free from the power of evil and given us a place in the kingdom of the Son of his love;

bbe@Colossians:1:14 @In whom we have our salvation, the forgiveness of sins:

bbe@Colossians:1:15 @Who is the image of the unseen God coming into existence before all living things;

bbe@Colossians:1:18 @And he is the head of the body, the church: the starting point of all things, the first to come again from the dead; so that in all things he might have the chief place.

bbe@Colossians:1:20 @Through him uniting all things with himself, having made peace through the blood of his cross; through him, I say, uniting all things which are on earth or in heaven.

bbe@Colossians:1:21 @And you, who in the past were cut off and at war with God in your minds through evil works, he has now made one

bbe@Colossians:1:22 @In the body of his flesh through death, so that you might be holy and without sin and free from all evil before him:

bbe@Colossians:1:23 @If you keep yourselves safely based in the faith, not moved from the hope of the good news which came to you, and which was given to every living being under heaven; of which I, Paul, was made a servant.

bbe@Colossians:1:24 @Now I have joy in my pain because of you, and in my flesh I undergo whatever is still needed to make the sorrows of Christ complete, for the salvation of his body, the church;

bbe@Colossians:1:25 @Of which I became a servant by the purpose of God which was given to me for you, to give effect to the word of God,

bbe@Colossians:1:27 @To whom God was pleased to give knowledge of the wealth of the glory of this secret among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

bbe@Colossians:1:29 @And for this purpose I am working, using all my strength by the help of his power which is working in me strongly.

bbe@Colossians:2:1 @For it is my desire to give you news of the great fight I am making for you and for those at Laodicea, and for all who have not seen my face in the flesh;

bbe@Colossians:2:2 @So that their hearts may be comforted, and that being joined together in love, they may come to the full wealth of the certain knowledge of the secret of God, even Christ,

bbe@Colossians:2:3 @In whom are all the secret stores of wisdom and knowledge.

bbe@Colossians:2:4 @I say this so that you may not be turned away by any deceit of words.

bbe@Colossians:2:8 @Take care that no one takes you away by force, through man's wisdom and deceit, going after the beliefs of men and the theories of the world, and not after Christ:

bbe@Colossians:2:9 @For in him all the wealth of God's being has a living form,

bbe@Colossians:2:10 @And you are complete in him, who is the head of all rule and authority:

bbe@Colossians:2:11 @In whom you had a circumcision not made with hands, in the putting off of the body of the flesh, in the circumcision of Christ;

bbe@Colossians:2:12 @Having been put to death with him in baptism, by which you came to life again with him, through faith in the working of God, who made him come back from the dead.

bbe@Colossians:2:13 @And you, being dead through your sins and the evil condition of your flesh, to you, I say, he gave life together with him, and forgiveness of all our sins;

bbe@Colossians:2:14 @Having put an end to the handwriting of the law which was against us, taking it out of the way by nailing it to his cross;

bbe@Colossians:2:15 @Having made himself free from the rule of authorities and powers, he put them openly to shame, glorying over them in it.

bbe@Colossians:2:16 @For this reason let no man be your judge in any question of food or drink or feast days or new moons or Sabbaths:

bbe@Colossians:2:17 @For these are an image of the things which are to come; but the body is Christ's.

bbe@Colossians:2:18 @Let no man take your reward from you by consciously making little of himself and giving worship to angels; having his thoughts fixed on the things which he has seen, being foolishly lifted up in his natural mind,

bbe@Colossians:2:19 @And not joined to the Head, from whom all the body, being given strength and kept together through its joins and bands, has its growth with the increase of God.

bbe@Colossians:2:20 @If you were made free, by your death with Christ, from the rules of the world, why do you put yourselves under the authority of orders

bbe@Colossians:2:22 @(Rules which are all to come to an end with their use) after the orders and teaching of men?

bbe@Colossians:2:23 @These things seem to have a sort of wisdom in self-ordered worship and making little of oneself, and being cruel to the body, not honouring it by giving it its natural use.

bbe@Colossians:3:1 @If then you have a new life with Christ, give your attention to the things of heaven, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.

bbe@Colossians:3:2 @Keep your mind on the higher things, not on the things of earth.

bbe@Colossians:3:4 @At the coming of Christ who is our life, you will be seen with him in glory.

bbe@Colossians:3:5 @Then put to death your bodies which are of the earth; wrong use of the flesh, unclean things, passion, evil desires and envy, which is the worship of strange gods;

bbe@Colossians:3:6 @Because of which the wrath of God comes on those who go against his orders;

bbe@Colossians:3:10 @And have put on the new man, which has become new in knowledge after the image of his maker;

bbe@Colossians:3:12 @As saints of God, then, holy and dearly loved, let your behaviour be marked by pity and mercy, kind feeling, a low opinion of yourselves, gentle ways, and a power of undergoing all things;

bbe@Colossians:3:15 @And let the peace of Christ be ruling in your hearts, as it was the purpose of God for you to be one body; and give praise to God at all times.

bbe@Colossians:3:16 @Let the word of Christ be in you in all wealth of wisdom; teaching and helping one another with songs of praise and holy words, making melody to God with grace in your hearts.

bbe@Colossians:3:17 @And whatever you do, in word or in act, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving praise to God the Father through him.

bbe@Colossians:3:18 @Wives, be under the authority of your husbands, as is right in the Lord.

bbe@Colossians:3:20 @Children, do the orders of your fathers and mothers in all things, for this is pleasing to the Lord.

bbe@Colossians:3:22 @Servants, in all things do the orders of your natural masters; not only when their eyes are on you, as pleasers of men, but with all your heart, fearing the Lord:

bbe@Colossians:3:24 @Being certain that the Lord will give you the reward of the heritage: for you are the servants of the Lord Christ.

bbe@Colossians:4:3 @And making prayer for us, that God may give us an open door for the preaching of the word, the secret of Christ, for which I am now in chains;

bbe@Colossians:4:5 @Be wise in your behaviour to those who are outside, making good use of the time.

bbe@Colossians:4:7 @Tychicus will give you news of all my business: he is a dear brother and true servant and helper in the word;

bbe@Colossians:4:8 @And I have sent him to you for this very purpose, so that you may have news of how we are, and so that he may give your hearts comfort;

bbe@Colossians:4:9 @And with him I have sent Onesimus, the true and well-loved brother, who is one of you. They will give you word of everything which is taking place here.

bbe@Colossians:4:10 @Aristarchus, my brother-prisoner, sends his love to you, and Mark, a relation of Barnabas (about whom you have been given orders: if he comes to you, be kind to him),

bbe@Colossians:4:11 @And Jesus, whose other name is Justus; these are of the circumcision: they are my only brother-workers for the kingdom of God, who have been a comfort to me.

bbe@Colossians:4:12 @Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ Jesus, sends you his love, ever taking thought for you in his prayers, that you may be complete and fully certain of all the purpose of God.

bbe@Colossians:4:13 @For I give witness of him that he has undergone much trouble for you and for those in Laodicea and in Hierapolis.

bbe@Colossians:4:16 @And when this letter has been made public among you, let the same be done in the church of Laodicea; and see that you have the letter from Laodicea.

bbe@Colossians:4:18 @I, Paul, give you this word of love in my handwriting. Keep in memory that I am a prisoner. Grace be with you.

bbe@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.

bbe@1Thessalonians:1:3 @Having ever in mind your work of faith and acts of love and the strength of your hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father;

bbe@1Thessalonians:1:5 @Because our good news came to you, not in word only, but in power, and in the Holy Spirit, so that you were completely certain of it; even as you saw what our behaviour to you was like from our love to you.

bbe@1Thessalonians:1:8 @For not only was the word of the Lord sounding out from you in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place your faith in God is made clear; so that we have no need to say anything.

bbe@1Thessalonians:1:9 @For they themselves give the news of how we came among you; and how you were turned from images to God, to the worship of a true and living God,

bbe@1Thessalonians:2:2 @But after we had first undergone much pain and been cruelly attacked as you saw, at Philippi, by the help of God we gave you the good news without fear, though everything was against us.

bbe@1Thessalonians:2:4 @But even as the good news was given to us by the approval of God, so we give it out; not as pleasing men, but God by whom our hearts are tested.

bbe@1Thessalonians:2:5 @For it is common knowledge among you that we never made use of smooth-sounding false words, and God is witness that at no time were we secretly desiring profit for ourselves,

bbe@1Thessalonians:2:6 @Or looking for glory from men, from you or from others, when we might have made ourselves a care to you as Apostles of Christ.

bbe@1Thessalonians:2:8 @Even so, being full of loving desire for you, we took delight in giving you not only God's good news, but even our lives, because you were dear to us.

bbe@1Thessalonians:2:9 @For you have the memory, my brothers, of our trouble and care; how, working night and day, so that we might not be a trouble to any of you, we gave you the good news of God.

bbe@1Thessalonians:2:10 @You are witnesses, with God, how holy and upright and free from all evil was our way of life among you who have faith;

bbe@1Thessalonians:2:13 @And for this cause we still give praise to God, that, when the word came to your ears through us, you took it, not as the word of man, but, as it truly is, the word of God, which has living power in you who have faith.

bbe@1Thessalonians:2:14 @For you, my brothers, took as your examples the churches of God which are in Judaea in Christ Jesus; because you underwent the same things from your countrymen as they did from the Jews;

bbe@1Thessalonians:2:16 @Who, to make the measure of their sins complete, kept us from giving the word of salvation to the Gentiles: but the wrath of God is about to come on them in the fullest degree.

bbe@1Thessalonians:2:19 @For what is our hope or joy or crown of glory? Are not even you, before our Lord Jesus, at his coming?

bbe@1Thessalonians:3:1 @At last our desire to have news of you was so strong that, while we ourselves were waiting at Athens,

bbe@1Thessalonians:3:2 @We sent Timothy, our brother and God's servant in the good news of Christ, to give you strength and comfort in your faith;

bbe@1Thessalonians:3:3 @So that no man might be moved by these troubles; because you see that these things are part of God's purpose for us.

bbe@1Thessalonians:3:5 @For this reason, when I was no longer able to keep quiet, I sent to get news of your faith, fearing that you might be tested by the Evil One and that our work might come to nothing.

bbe@1Thessalonians:3:6 @But now that Timothy has come to us from you, and has given us good news of your faith and love, and that you have happy memories of us, desiring greatly to see us, even as we do to see you;

bbe@1Thessalonians:3:7 @For this cause, brothers, in all our trouble and grief we were comforted about you because of your faith;

bbe@1Thessalonians:3:9 @For how great is the praise which we give to God for you, and how great the joy with which we are glad because of you before our God;

bbe@1Thessalonians:3:12 @And the Lord give you increase of love in fullest measure to one another and to all men, even as our love to you;

bbe@1Thessalonians:3:13 @So that your hearts may be strong and free from all sin before our God and Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.

bbe@1Thessalonians:4:1 @And last of all, the prayer which we make to you from our heart and in the name of the Lord Jesus, is this: that as we made clear to you what sort of behaviour is pleasing to God, as in fact you are doing now, so you will go on in these ways, but more and more.

bbe@1Thessalonians:4:3 @For the purpose of God for you is this: that you may be holy, and may keep yourselves from the desires of the flesh;

bbe@1Thessalonians:4:4 @So that every one of you may keep his body holy and in honour;

bbe@1Thessalonians:4:5 @Not in the passion of evil desires, like the Gentiles, who have no knowledge of God;

bbe@1Thessalonians:4:6 @And that no man may make attempts to get the better of his brother in business: for the Lord is the judge in all these things, as we said to you before and gave witness.

bbe@1Thessalonians:4:7 @Because it is God's purpose that our way of life may be not unclean but holy.

bbe@1Thessalonians:4:9 @But about loving the brothers, there is no need for me to say anything to you in this letter: for you have the teaching of God that love for one another is right and necessary;

bbe@1Thessalonians:4:10 @And, truly, you are lovers of all the brothers in Macedonia; but it is our desire that your love may be increased still more;

bbe@1Thessalonians:4:12 @That you may be respected by those who are outside, and may have need of nothing.

bbe@1Thessalonians:4:15 @For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are still living at the coming of the Lord, will not go before those who are sleeping.

bbe@1Thessalonians:4:16 @Because the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a word of authority, with the voice of the chief angel, with the sound of a horn: and the dead in Christ will come to life first;

bbe@1Thessalonians:5:2 @For you yourselves have the knowledge that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.

bbe@1Thessalonians:5:5 @For you are all sons of light and of the day: we are not of the night or of the dark.

bbe@1Thessalonians:5:8 @But let us, who are of the day, be serious, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and on our heads, the hope of salvation.

bbe@1Thessalonians:5:13 @And have a high opinion of them in love because of their work. Be at peace among yourselves.

bbe@1Thessalonians:5:18 @In everything give praise: for this is the purpose of God in Christ Jesus for you.

bbe@1Thessalonians:5:19 @Do not put out the light of the Spirit;

bbe@1Thessalonians:5:20 @Do not make little of the words of the prophets;

bbe@1Thessalonians:5:22 @Keep from every form of evil.

bbe@1Thessalonians:5:23 @And may the God of peace himself make you holy in every way; and may your spirit and soul and body be free from all sin at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

bbe@1Thessalonians:5:27 @I give orders in the name of the Lord that all the brothers are to be present at the reading of this letter.

bbe@1Thessalonians:5:28 @The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

bbe@2Thessalonians:1:1 @Paul and Silvanus and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:

bbe@2Thessalonians:1:3 @It is right for us to give praise to God at all times for you, brothers, because of the great increase of your faith, and the wealth of your love for one another;

bbe@2Thessalonians:1:4 @So that we ourselves take pride in you in the churches of God for your untroubled mind and your faith in all the troubles and sorrows which you are going through;

bbe@2Thessalonians:1:5 @Which is a clear sign of the decision which God in his righteousness has made; to give you a part in his kingdom, for which you have undergone this pain;

bbe@2Thessalonians:1:6 @For it is an act of righteousness on God's part to give trouble as their reward to those who are troubling you,

bbe@2Thessalonians:1:7 @And to you who are troubled, rest with us, when the Lord Jesus comes from heaven with the angels of his power in flames of fire,

bbe@2Thessalonians:1:8 @To give punishment to those who have no knowledge of God, and to those who do not give ear to the good news of our Lord Jesus:

bbe@2Thessalonians:1:9 @Whose reward will be eternal destruction from the face of the Lord and from the glory of his strength,

bbe@2Thessalonians:1:10 @At his coming, when he will have glory in his saints, and will be a cause of wonder in all those who had faith (because our witness among you had effect) in that day.

bbe@2Thessalonians:1:11 @For this reason, you are ever in our prayers, that you may seem to our God such as may have a part in his purpose and that by his power he will make all his good purpose, and the work of faith, complete;

bbe@2Thessalonians:1:12 @So that glory may be given to the name of our Lord Jesus through you, and you may have glory in him, by the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

bbe@2Thessalonians:2:1 @Now as to the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, and our meeting with him, it is our desire, my brothers,

bbe@2Thessalonians:2:2 @That you may not be moved in mind or troubled by a spirit, or by a word, or by a letter as from us, with the suggestion that the day of the Lord is even now come;

bbe@2Thessalonians:2:3 @Give no belief to false words: because there will first be a falling away from the faith, and the revelation of the man of sin, the son of destruction,

bbe@2Thessalonians:2:4 @Who puts himself against all authority, lifting himself up over all which is named God or is given worship; so that he takes his seat in the Temple of God, putting himself forward as God.

bbe@2Thessalonians:2:5 @Have you no memory of what I said when I was with you, giving you word of these things?

bbe@2Thessalonians:2:7 @For the secret of evil is even now at work: but there is one who is keeping back the evil till he is taken out of the way.

bbe@2Thessalonians:2:8 @And then will come the revelation of that evil one, whom the Lord Jesus will put to death with the breath of his mouth, and give to destruction by the revelation of his coming;

bbe@2Thessalonians:2:9 @Even the one whose coming is marked by the working of Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders,

bbe@2Thessalonians:2:10 @And with every deceit of wrongdoing among those whose fate is destruction; because they were quite without that love of the true faith by which they might have salvation.

bbe@2Thessalonians:2:11 @And for this cause, God will give them up to the power of deceit and they will put their faith in what is false:

bbe@2Thessalonians:2:13 @But it is right for us to give praise to God at all times for you, brothers, loved by the Lord, because it was the purpose of God from the first that you might have salvation, being made holy by the Spirit and by faith in what is true:

bbe@2Thessalonians:2:14 @And in this purpose he gave you a part through the good news of which we were the preachers, even that you might have part in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

bbe@2Thessalonians:3:1 @For the rest, my brothers, let there be prayer for us that the word of the Lord may go forward with increasing glory, even as it does with you;

bbe@2Thessalonians:3:5 @And may your hearts be guided by the Lord into the love of God and quiet waiting for Christ.

bbe@2Thessalonians:3:6 @Now we give you orders, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to keep away from all those whose behaviour is not well ordered and in harmony with the teaching which they had from us.

bbe@2Thessalonians:3:8 @And we did not take food from any man for nothing, but were working hard night and day not to be a trouble to any of you:

bbe@2Thessalonians:3:11 @For it has come to our ears that there are some among you whose behaviour is uncontrolled, who do no work at all, but are over-interested in the business of others.

bbe@2Thessalonians:3:13 @And you, my brothers, do not get tired of well-doing.

bbe@2Thessalonians:3:14 @And if any man does not give attention to what we have said in this letter, take note of that man, and keep away from him, so that he may be shamed.

bbe@2Thessalonians:3:15 @Have no feeling of hate for him, but take him in hand seriously as a brother.

bbe@2Thessalonians:3:16 @Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. May the Lord be with you all.

bbe@2Thessalonians:3:17 @These words of love to you at the end are in my writing, Paul's writing, and this is the mark of every letter from me.

bbe@2Thessalonians:3:18 @May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.

bbe@1Timothy:1:1 @Paul, an Apostle of Jesus Christ, by the order of God our Saviour and Christ Jesus our hope;

bbe@1Timothy:1:4 @Or to give attention to stories and long lists of generations, from which come questionings and doubts, in place of God's ordered way of life which is in faith;

bbe@1Timothy:1:5 @But the effect of the order is love coming from a clean heart, and a knowledge of what is right, and true faith:

bbe@1Timothy:1:7 @Desiring to be teachers of the law, though they have no knowledge of what they say or of the statements which they make so certainly.

bbe@1Timothy:1:8 @We are conscious that the law is good, if a man makes a right use of it,

bbe@1Timothy:1:9 @With the knowledge that the law is made, not for the upright man, but for those who have no respect for law and order, for evil men and sinners, for the unholy and those who have no religion, for those who put their fathers or mothers to death, for takers of life,

bbe@1Timothy:1:11 @Which may be seen in the good news of the glory of the great God, which was given into my care.

bbe@1Timothy:1:14 @And the grace of our Lord was very great, with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

bbe@1Timothy:1:15 @It is a true saying, in which all may put their faith, that Christ Jesus came into the world to give salvation to sinners, of whom I am the chief:

bbe@1Timothy:1:16 @But for this reason I was given mercy, so that in me, the chief of sinners, Jesus Christ might make clear all his mercy, as an example to those who in the future would have faith in him to eternal life.

bbe@1Timothy:1:18 @This order I give to you, Timothy my son, in harmony with the words of the prophets about you, so that by them you may be strong, fighting the good fight,

bbe@1Timothy:1:19 @Keeping faith, and being conscious of well-doing; for some, by not doing these things, have gone wrong in relation to the faith:

bbe@1Timothy:2:1 @My desire is, first of all, that you will make requests and prayers and give praise for all men;

bbe@1Timothy:2:2 @For kings and all those in authority; so that we may have a calm and quiet life in all fear of God and serious behaviour.

bbe@1Timothy:2:3 @This is good and pleasing in the eyes of God our Saviour;

bbe@1Timothy:2:4 @Whose desire is that all men may have salvation and come to the knowledge of what is true.

bbe@1Timothy:2:6 @Who gave himself as an offering for all; witness of which was to be given at the right time;

bbe@1Timothy:2:7 @And of this I became a preacher and an Apostle (what I say is true, not false,) and a teacher of the Gentiles in the true faith.

bbe@1Timothy:2:9 @And that women may be dressed in simple clothing, with a quiet and serious air; not with twisted hair and gold or jewels or robes of great price;

bbe@1Timothy:2:10 @But clothed with good works, as is right for women who are living in the fear of God.

bbe@1Timothy:2:11 @Let a woman quietly take the place of a learner and be under authority.

bbe@1Timothy:2:15 @But if they go on in faith and love and holy self-control, she will be kept safe at the time of childbirth.

bbe@1Timothy:3:1 @This is a true saying, A man desiring the position of a Bishop has a desire for a good work.

bbe@1Timothy:3:2 @The Bishop, then, is to be a man of good name, the husband of one wife, self-controlled, serious-minded, having respect for order, opening his house freely to guests, a ready teacher;

bbe@1Timothy:3:3 @Not quickly moved to wrath or blows, but gentle; no fighter, no lover of money;

bbe@1Timothy:3:5 @(For if a man has not the art of ruling his house, how will he take care of the church of God?)

bbe@1Timothy:3:6 @Not one newly taken into the church, for fear that, through his high opinion of himself, he may come into the same sin as the Evil One.

bbe@1Timothy:3:7 @And he is to have a good name among those outside the church, so that nothing may be said against him and he may not be taken by the designs of the Evil One.

bbe@1Timothy:3:8 @Deacons, in the same way, are to be serious in their behaviour, not false in word, not given to taking much wine or greatly desiring the wealth of this world;

bbe@1Timothy:3:9 @Keeping the secret of the faith in a heart free from sin.

bbe@1Timothy:3:11 @Women are to be serious in behaviour, saying no evil of others, controlling themselves, true in all things.

bbe@1Timothy:3:12 @Let Deacons be husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their houses well.

bbe@1Timothy:3:15 @But if I am long in coming, this will make clear to you what behaviour is right for men in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and base of what is true.

bbe@1Timothy:3:16 @And without argument, great is the secret of religion: He who was seen in the flesh, who was given God's approval in the spirit, was seen by the angels, of whom the good news was given among the nations, in whom the world had faith, who was taken up in glory.

bbe@1Timothy:4:1 @But the Spirit says clearly that in later times some will be turned away from the faith, giving their minds to spirits of deceit, and the teachings of evil spirits,

bbe@1Timothy:4:2 @Through the false ways of men whose words are untrue, whose hearts are burned as with a heated iron;

bbe@1Timothy:4:5 @For it is made holy by the word of God and by prayer.

bbe@1Timothy:4:6 @If you keep these things before the minds of the brothers, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, trained in the words of the faith and of the right teaching which has been your guide:

bbe@1Timothy:4:8 @For the training of the body is of profit for a little, but religion is of profit in every way, giving hope for the life which now is, and for that which is to come.

bbe@1Timothy:4:10 @And this is the purpose of all our work and our fighting, because our hope is in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, and specially of those who have faith

bbe@1Timothy:4:12 @Let no one make little of you because you are young, but be an example to the church in word, in behaviour, in love, in faith, in holy living.

bbe@1Timothy:4:13 @Till I come, give attention to the reading of the holy Writings, to comforting the saints, and to teaching.

bbe@1Timothy:4:14 @Make use of that grace in you, which was given to you by the word of the prophets, when the rulers of the church put their hands on you.

bbe@1Timothy:5:4 @But if any widow has children or children's children, let these see that it is right to take care of their family and their fathers and mothers: for this is pleasing in the eyes of God.

bbe@1Timothy:5:7 @Give orders to this effect, so that no evil may be said of anyone.

bbe@1Timothy:5:9 @Let no woman be numbered among the widows who is under sixty years old, and only if she has been the wife of one man,

bbe@1Timothy:5:10 @And if witness is given of her good works; if she has had the care of children, if she has been kind to travellers, washing the feet of the saints, helping those who are in trouble, giving herself to good works.

bbe@1Timothy:5:13 @And they get into the way of doing no work, going about from house to house; and not only doing no work, but talking foolishly, being over-interested in the business of others, saying things which they have no right to say.

bbe@1Timothy:5:16 @If any woman of the faith has relations who are widows, let her give them help, so that the care of them does not come on the church, and so it may give help to those who are truly widowed.

bbe@1Timothy:5:21 @I give you orders before God and Christ Jesus and the angels of God's selection, to keep these orders without giving thought to one side more than another.

bbe@1Timothy:5:23 @Do not take only water as your drink, but take a little wine for the good of your stomach, and because you are frequently ill.

bbe@1Timothy:5:24 @The sins of some men are clearly seen, going before them to be judged; but with others, their sins go after them.

bbe@1Timothy:6:1 @Let all who are servants under the yoke give all honour to their masters, so that no evil may be said against the name of God and his teaching.

bbe@1Timothy:6:2 @And let those whose masters are of the faith have respect for them because they are brothers, working for them the more readily, because those who take part in the good work are of the faith and are dear. Give orders and teaching about these things.

bbe@1Timothy:6:3 @If any man gives different teaching, not in agreement with the true words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and with the teaching which is in agreement with true religion,

bbe@1Timothy:6:4 @He has an over-high opinion of himself; being without knowledge, having only an unhealthy love of questionings and wars of words, from which come envy, fighting, cruel words, evil thoughts,

bbe@1Timothy:6:5 @Bitter talk of men who, being evil in mind and dead to what is true, take the faith to be a way of making profit.

bbe@1Timothy:6:6 @But true faith, with peace of mind, is of great profit:

bbe@1Timothy:6:8 @But if we have food and a roof over us, let that be enough.

bbe@1Timothy:6:9 @But those who have a desire for wealth are falling into danger, and are taken as in a net by a number of foolish and damaging desires, through which men are overtaken by death and destruction.

bbe@1Timothy:6:10 @For the love of money is a root of all evil: and some whose hearts were fixed on it have been turned away from the faith, and been wounded with unnumbered sorrows.

bbe@1Timothy:6:11 @But you, O man of God, keep yourself from these things, and go after righteousness, religion, faith, love, a quiet mind, gentle behaviour.

bbe@1Timothy:6:12 @Be fighting the good fight of the faith; take for yourself the life eternal, for which you were marked out, and of which you gave witness in the eyes of all.

bbe@1Timothy:6:13 @I give you orders before God, the giver of life, and Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate gave witness to the faith,

bbe@1Timothy:6:14 @To keep the word untouched by evil, clear from all shame, till the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ:

bbe@1Timothy:6:15 @Which at the right time he will make clear, who is the eternal and only Ruler, King of kings, and Lord of lords;

bbe@1Timothy:6:17 @Give orders to those who have money and goods in this life, not to be lifted up in their minds, or to put their hope in the uncertain chances of wealth, but in God who gives us in full measure all things for our use;

bbe@1Timothy:6:20 @O Timothy, take good care of that which is given to you, turning away from the wrong and foolish talk and arguments of that knowledge which is falsely so named;

bbe@2Timothy:1:1 @Paul, an Apostle of Jesus Christ by the purpose of God, in the hope of the life which is in Christ Jesus,

bbe@2Timothy:1:3 @I give praise to God, whose servant I have been, with a heart free from sin, from the time of my fathers, because in my prayers at all times the thought of you is with me, night and day

bbe@2Timothy:1:4 @Desiring to see you, keeping in my memory your weeping, so that I may be full of joy;

bbe@2Timothy:1:6 @For this reason I say to you, Let that grace of God which is in you, given to you by my hands, have living power.

bbe@2Timothy:1:7 @For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of self-control.

bbe@2Timothy:1:8 @Have no feeling of shame, then, for the witness of our Lord or for me, his prisoner: but undergo all things for the good news in the measure of the power of God;

bbe@2Timothy:1:9 @Who gave us salvation, marking us out for his purpose, not on account of our works, but in the measure of his purpose and his grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before times eternal,

bbe@2Timothy:1:10 @But has now been made clear by the revelation of our Saviour Christ Jesus, who put an end to death and made life unending come to light through the good news,

bbe@2Timothy:1:11 @Of which I was made a preacher and an Apostle and a teacher;

bbe@2Timothy:1:12 @And for which I undergo these things: but I have no feeling of shame. For I have knowledge of him in whom I have faith, and I am certain that he is able to keep that which I have given into his care till that day.

bbe@2Timothy:1:13 @Keep the form of those true words which you had from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

bbe@2Timothy:1:16 @May the Lord give mercy to the house of Onesiphorus because he frequently gave me help, and had no feeling of shame because I was in chains;

bbe@2Timothy:1:17 @But when he was in Rome, he went in search of me everywhere, and came to me

bbe@2Timothy:1:18 @(May he have the Lord's mercy in that day); and of all he did for me at Ephesus you have full knowledge.

bbe@2Timothy:2:2 @And the things which I have said to you before a number of witnesses, give to those of the faith, so that they may be teachers of others.

bbe@2Timothy:2:3 @Be ready to do without the comforts of life, as one of the army of Christ Jesus.

bbe@2Timothy:2:4 @A fighting man, when he is with the army, keeps himself free from the business of this life so that he may be pleasing to him who has taken him into his army.

bbe@2Timothy:2:6 @It is right for the worker in the fields to be the first to take of the fruit.

bbe@2Timothy:2:8 @Keep in mind Jesus Christ, of the seed of David, who came back from the dead, as my good news gives witness:

bbe@2Timothy:2:9 @In which I put up with the hardest conditions, even prison chains, like one who has done a crime; but the word of God is not in chains.

bbe@2Timothy:2:12 @If we go on to the end, then we will be ruling with him: if we say we have no knowledge of him, then he will say he has no knowledge of us:

bbe@2Timothy:2:14 @Put these things before them, giving them orders in the name of the Lord to keep themselves from fighting about words, which is of no profit, only causing error in their hearers.

bbe@2Timothy:2:15 @Let it be your care to get the approval of God, as a workman who has no cause for shame, giving the true word in the right way.

bbe@2Timothy:2:18 @Men whose ideas are all false, who say that the coming back from the dead has even now taken place, overturning the faith of some.

bbe@2Timothy:2:19 @But God's strong base is unchanging, having this sign, The Lord has knowledge of those who are his: and, Let everyone by whom the name of the Lord is named be turned away from evil.

bbe@2Timothy:2:20 @Now in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but others of wood and earth, and some which are honoured and some without honour.

bbe@2Timothy:2:22 @But keep yourself from those desires of the flesh which are strong when the body is young, and go after righteousness, faith, love, peace, with those whose prayers go up to the Lord from a clean heart.

bbe@2Timothy:2:23 @And put away foolish and uncontrolled questionings, seeing that they are a cause of trouble.

bbe@2Timothy:2:25 @Gently guiding those who go against the teaching; if by chance God may give them a change of heart and true knowledge,

bbe@2Timothy:2:26 @And so they may get themselves free from the net of the Evil One, being made the prisoners of the Lord's servant, for the purpose of God.

bbe@2Timothy:3:1 @But be certain of this, that in the last days times of trouble will come.

bbe@2Timothy:3:2 @For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, uplifted in pride, given to bitter words, going against the authority of their fathers, never giving praise, having no religion,

bbe@2Timothy:3:3 @Without natural love, bitter haters, saying evil of others, violent and uncontrolled, hating all good,

bbe@2Timothy:3:5 @Having a form of religion, but turning their backs on the power of it: go not with these.

bbe@2Timothy:3:6 @For these are they who go secretly into houses, making prisoners of foolish women, weighted down with sin, turned from the way by their evil desires,

bbe@2Timothy:3:7 @Ever learning, and never coming to the knowledge of what is true.

bbe@2Timothy:3:8 @And as James and Jambres went against Moses, so do these go against what is true: men of evil minds, who, tested by faith, are seen to be false.

bbe@2Timothy:3:10 @But you took as your example my teaching, behaviour, purpose, and faith; my long waiting, my love, my quiet undergoing of trouble;

bbe@2Timothy:3:12 @Yes, and all whose purpose is to be living in the knowledge of God in Christ Jesus, will be cruelly attacked.

bbe@2Timothy:3:14 @But see that you keep to the teaching you have been given and the things of which you are certain, conscious of who has been your teacher;

bbe@2Timothy:3:15 @And that from the time when you were a child, you have had knowledge of the holy Writings, which are able to make you wise to salvation, through faith in Christ Jesus.

bbe@2Timothy:3:16 @Every holy Writing which comes from God is of profit for teaching, for training, for guiding, for education in righteousness:

bbe@2Timothy:3:17 @So that the man of God may be complete, trained and made ready for every good work.

bbe@2Timothy:4:1 @I give you orders, before God and Christ Jesus, who will be the judge of the living and the dead, and by his revelation and his kingdom;

bbe@2Timothy:4:3 @For the time will come when they will not take the true teaching; but, moved by their desires, they will get for themselves a great number of teachers for the pleasure of hearing them;

bbe@2Timothy:4:6 @For I am even now being offered, and my end is near.

bbe@2Timothy:4:7 @I have made a good fight, I have come to the end of my journey, I have kept the faith:

bbe@2Timothy:4:8 @From now on, the crown of righteousness is made ready for me, which the Lord, the upright judge, Will give to me at that day: and not only to me, but to all those who have had love for his revelation.

bbe@2Timothy:4:10 @For Demas has gone away from me, for love of this present life, and has gone to Thessalonica: Crescens has gone to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia

bbe@2Timothy:4:11 @Only Luke is with me. Get Mark and take him with you; for he is of use to me in the work.

bbe@2Timothy:4:14 @Alexander the copper-worker did me much wrong: the Lord will give him the reward of his works:

bbe@2Timothy:4:17 @But the Lord was by my side and gave me strength; so that through me the news might be given out in full measure, and all the Gentiles might give ear: and I was taken out of the mouth of the lion.

bbe@2Timothy:4:19 @Give my love to Prisca and Aquila and those of the house of Onesiphorus.

bbe@Titus:1:1 @Paul, a servant of God, and an Apostle of Jesus Christ, in agreement with the faith of the saints of God and the full knowledge of what is true in harmony with religion,

bbe@Titus:1:2 @In the hope of eternal life, which was made certain before eternal time, by the word of God who is ever true;

bbe@Titus:1:3 @Who, in his time, made clear his word in the good news, of which, by the order of God our Saviour, I became a preacher;

bbe@Titus:1:6 @Men having a good record, husbands of one wife, whose children are of the faith, children of whom it may not be said that they are given to loose living or are uncontrolled.

bbe@Titus:1:7 @For it is necessary for a Bishop to be a man of virtue, as God's servant; not pushing himself forward, not quickly moved to wrath or blows, not desiring profit for himself;

bbe@Titus:1:8 @But opening his house freely to guests; a lover of what is good, serious-minded, upright, holy, self-controlled;

bbe@Titus:1:9 @Keeping to the true word of the teaching, so that he may be able to give comfort by right teaching and overcome the arguments of the doubters.

bbe@Titus:1:10 @For there are men who are not ruled by law; foolish talkers, false teachers, specially those of the circumcision,

bbe@Titus:1:12 @One of their prophets has said, The men of Crete are ever false, evil beasts, lovers of food, hating work.

bbe@Titus:1:14 @Giving no attention to the fictions of the Jews and the rules of men who have no true knowledge.

bbe@Titus:1:16 @They say that they have knowledge of God, while by their acts they are turning their backs on him; they are hated by all, hard-hearted, and judged to be without value for any good work.

bbe@Titus:2:2 @That old men are to be simple in their tastes, serious, wise, true in faith, in love, and of a quiet mind.

bbe@Titus:2:3 @That old women are to be self-respecting in behaviour, not saying evil of others, not given to taking much wine, teachers of that which is good,

bbe@Titus:2:5 @To be wise in mind, clean in heart, kind; working in their houses, living under the authority of their husbands; so that no evil may be said of the word of God.

bbe@Titus:2:7 @In all things see that you are an example of good works; holy in your teaching, serious in behaviour,

bbe@Titus:2:8 @Saying true and right words, against which no protest may be made, so that he who is not on our side may be put to shame, unable to say any evil of us.

bbe@Titus:2:9 @Servants are to be under the authority of their masters, pleasing them in all things, without argument;

bbe@Titus:2:10 @Not taking what is not theirs, but giving clear signs of their good faith, in all things doing credit to the teaching of God our Saviour.

bbe@Titus:2:11 @For the grace of God has come, giving salvation to all men,

bbe@Titus:2:12 @Training us so that, turning away from evil and the desires of this world, we may be living wisely and uprightly in the knowledge of God in this present life;

bbe@Titus:2:13 @Looking for the glad hope, the revelation of the glory of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ;

bbe@Titus:3:2 @To say no evil of any man, not to be fighters, to give way to others, to be gentle in behaviour to all men.

bbe@Titus:3:3 @For in the past we were foolish, hard in heart, turned from the true way, servants of evil desires and pleasures, living in bad feeling and envy, hated and hating one another.

bbe@Titus:3:4 @But when the mercy of God our Saviour, and his love to man was seen,

bbe@Titus:3:5 @Not by works of righteousness which we did ourselves, but in the measure of his mercy, he gave us salvation, through the washing of the new birth and the giving of new life in the Holy Spirit,

bbe@Titus:3:7 @So that, having been given righteousness through grace, we might have a part in the heritage, the hope of eternal life.

bbe@Titus:3:8 @This is a true saying; and it is my desire that you may give certain witness about these things, so that those who have had faith in God may give attention to good works. These things are good and of profit to men;

bbe@Titus:3:9 @But have nothing to do with foolish questionings, and lists of generations, and fights and arguments about the law; for they are of no profit and foolish.

bbe@Titus:3:10 @A man whose opinions are not those of the church, after a first and second protest, is to be kept out of your society;

bbe@Titus:3:13 @Send Zenas, the man of law, and Apollos on their journey with all care, so that they may be in need of nothing.

bbe@Philemon:1:1 @Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy our brother, to Philemon, our dear helper in the faith,

bbe@Philemon:1:5 @Hearing of the love and the faith which you have to the Lord Jesus and to all the saints;

bbe@Philemon:1:6 @That the faith which you have in common with them may be working with power, in the knowledge of every good thing in you, for Christ.

bbe@Philemon:1:7 @For I had great joy and comfort in your love, because the hearts of the saints have been made strong again through you, brother.

bbe@Philemon:1:8 @And so, though I might, in the name of Christ, give you orders to do what is right,

bbe@Philemon:1:9 @Still, because of love, in place of an order, I make a request to you, I, Paul, an old man and now a prisoner of Christ Jesus:

bbe@Philemon:1:10 @My request is for my child Onesimus, the child of my chains,

bbe@Philemon:1:11 @Who in the past was of no profit to you, but now is of profit to you and to me:

bbe@Philemon:1:13 @Though my desire was to keep him with me, to be my servant in the chains of the good news, in your place:

bbe@Philemon:1:20 @So brother, let me have joy of you in the Lord: give new life to my heart in Christ.

bbe@Philemon:1:25 @The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. So be it.

bbe@Hebrews:1:1 @In times past the word of God came to our fathers through the prophets, in different parts and in different ways;

bbe@Hebrews:1:2 @But now, at the end of these days, it has come to us through his Son, to whom he has given all things for a heritage, and through whom he made the order of the generations;

bbe@Hebrews:1:3 @Who, being the outshining of his glory, the true image of his substance, supporting all things by the word of his power, having given himself as an offering making clean from sins, took his seat at the right hand of God in heaven;

bbe@Hebrews:1:5 @To which of the angels did God say at any time, You are my Son, this day I have given you being? or, I will be his Father, and he will be my Son?

bbe@Hebrews:1:6 @And again, when he is sending his only Son into the world, he says, Let all the angels of God give him worship.

bbe@Hebrews:1:7 @And of the angels he says, Who makes his angels winds, and his servants flames of fire:

bbe@Hebrews:1:8 @But of the Son he says, Your seat of power, O God, is for ever and ever; and the rod of your kingdom is a rod of righteousness.

bbe@Hebrews:1:9 @You have been a lover of righteousness and a hater of evil; and so God, your God, has put the oil of joy on your head more than on the heads of those who are with you.

bbe@Hebrews:1:10 @You, Lord, at the first did put the earth on its base, and the heavens are the works of your hands:

bbe@Hebrews:1:13 @But of which of the angels has he said at any time, Take your seat at my right hand till I put all those who are against you under your feet?

bbe@Hebrews:2:3 @What will come on us, if we do not give our minds to such a great salvation? a salvation of which our fathers first had knowledge through the words of the Lord, and which was made certain to us by those to whom his words came;

bbe@Hebrews:2:4 @And God was a witness with them, by signs and wonders, and by more than natural powers, and by his distribution of the Holy Spirit at his pleasure.

bbe@Hebrews:2:5 @For he did not make the angels rulers over the world to come, of which I am writing.

bbe@Hebrews:2:6 @But a certain writer has given his witness, saying, What is man, that you keep him in mind? what is the son of man, that you take him into account?

bbe@Hebrews:2:7 @You made him a little lower than the angels; you gave him a crown of glory and honour, and made him ruler over all the works of your hands:

bbe@Hebrews:2:9 @But we see him who was made a little lower than the angels, even Jesus, crowned with glory and honour, because he let himself be put to death so that by the grace of God he might undergo death for all men.

bbe@Hebrews:2:10 @Because it was right for him, for whom and through whom all things have being, in guiding his sons to glory, to make the captain of their salvation complete through pain.

bbe@Hebrews:2:11 @For he who makes holy and those who are made holy are all of one family; and for this reason it is no shame for him to give them the name of brothers,

bbe@Hebrews:2:12 @Saying, I will give the knowledge of your name to my brothers, I will make a song of praise to you before the church.

bbe@Hebrews:2:14 @And because the children are flesh and blood, he took a body himself and became like them; so that by his death he might put an end to him who had the power of death, that is to say, the Evil One;

bbe@Hebrews:2:15 @And let those who all their lives were in chains because of their fear of death, go free.

bbe@Hebrews:2:16 @For, truly, he does not take on the life of angels, but that of the seed of Abraham.

bbe@Hebrews:2:17 @Because of this it was necessary for him to be made like his brothers in every way, so that he might be a high priest full of mercy and keeping faith in everything to do with God, making offerings for the sins of the people.

bbe@Hebrews:3:1 @For this reason, holy brothers, marked out to have a part in heaven, give thought to Jesus the representative and high priest of our faith;

bbe@Hebrews:3:3 @And it was right for this man to have more honour than Moses, even as the builder of a house has more honour than the house.

bbe@Hebrews:3:4 @For every house has a builder; but the builder of all things is God.

bbe@Hebrews:3:5 @And Moses certainly kept faith as a servant, in all his house, and as a witness of those things which were to be said later;

bbe@Hebrews:3:8 @Be not hard of heart, as when you made me angry, on the day of testing in the waste land,

bbe@Hebrews:3:10 @So that I was angry with this generation, and I said, Their hearts are in error at all times, and they have no knowledge of my ways;

bbe@Hebrews:3:12 @My brothers, take care that there is not by chance in any one of you an evil heart without belief, turning away from the living God:

bbe@Hebrews:3:13 @But give comfort to one another every day as long as it is still Today; so that no one among you may be made hard by the deceit of sin:

bbe@Hebrews:3:14 @For if we keep the substance of the faith which we had at the start, even till the end, we have a part with Christ;

bbe@Hebrews:3:15 @As it is said, Today if you will let his voice come to your ears, be not hard of heart, as when you made him angry.

bbe@Hebrews:3:16 @Who made him angry when his voice came to them? was it not all those who came out of Egypt with Moses?

bbe@Hebrews:4:1 @Let us then, though we still have God's word that we may come into his rest, go in fear that some of you may be unable to do so.

bbe@Hebrews:4:2 @And, truly, the good news came to us, even as it did to them; but the hearing of the word did them no good, because they were not united in faith with the true hearers.

bbe@Hebrews:4:3 @For those of us who have belief come into his rest; even as he has said, As I said in my oath when I was angry, They may not come into my rest: though the works were done from the time of the making of the world.

bbe@Hebrews:4:4 @For in one place he has said of the seventh day, And God had rest from all his works on the seventh day;

bbe@Hebrews:4:6 @So that as it is clear that some have to go in, and that the first hearers of the good news were not able to go in because they went against God's orders,

bbe@Hebrews:4:7 @After a long time, again naming a certain day, he says in David, Today (as he had said before), Today if you will let his voice come to your ears, be not hard of heart,

bbe@Hebrews:4:9 @So that there is still a Sabbath-keeping for the people of God.

bbe@Hebrews:4:11 @Because of this, let us have a strong desire to come into that rest, and let no one go after the example of those who went against God's orders.

bbe@Hebrews:4:12 @For the word of God is living and full of power, and is sharper than any two-edged sword, cutting through and making a division even of the soul and the spirit, the bones and the muscles, and quick to see the thoughts and purposes of the heart.

bbe@Hebrews:4:13 @And there is nothing made which is not completely clear to him; there is nothing covered, but all things are open to the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

bbe@Hebrews:4:14 @Having then a great high priest, who has made his way through the heavens, even Jesus the Son of God, let us be strong in our faith.

bbe@Hebrews:4:15 @For we have not a high priest who is not able to be touched by the feelings of our feeble flesh; but we have one who has been tested in all points as we ourselves are tested, but without sin.

bbe@Hebrews:4:16 @Then let us come near to the seat of grace without fear, so that mercy may be given to us, and we may get grace for our help in time of need.

bbe@Hebrews:5:1 @Every high priest who is taken from among men is given his position to take care of the interests of men in those things which have to do with God, so that he may make offerings for sins.

bbe@Hebrews:5:3 @And being feeble, he has to make sin-offerings for himself as well as for the people.

bbe@Hebrews:5:5 @In the same way Christ did not take for himself the glory of being made a high priest, but was given it by him who said, You are my Son, this day I have given you being:

bbe@Hebrews:5:6 @As he says in another place, You are a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.

bbe@Hebrews:5:7 @Who in the days of his flesh, having sent up prayers and requests with strong crying and weeping to him who was able to give him salvation from death, had his prayer answered because of his fear of God.

bbe@Hebrews:5:8 @And though he was a Son, through the pain which he underwent, the knowledge came to him of what it was to be under God's orders;

bbe@Hebrews:5:9 @And when he had been made complete, he became the giver of eternal salvation to all those who are under his orders;

bbe@Hebrews:5:10 @Being named by God a high priest of the order of Melchizedek.

bbe@Hebrews:5:11 @Of whom we have much to say which it is hard to make clear, because you are slow of hearing.

bbe@Hebrews:5:12 @And though by this time it would be right for you to be teachers, you still have need of someone to give you teaching about the first simple rules of God's revelation; you have become like babies who have need of milk, and not of solid food

bbe@Hebrews:5:13 @For everyone who takes milk is without experience of the word of righteousness: he is a child.

bbe@Hebrews:5:14 @But solid food is for men of full growth, even for those whose senses are trained by use to see what is good and what is evil.

bbe@Hebrews:6:1 @For this reason let us go on from the first things about Christ to full growth; not building again that on which it is based, that is, the turning of the heart from dead works, and faith in God,

bbe@Hebrews:6:2 @The teaching of baptisms, and of the putting on of hands, and of the future life of the dead, and of the judging on the last day.

bbe@Hebrews:6:5 @With knowledge of the good word of God, and of the powers of the coming time,

bbe@Hebrews:6:6 @And then let themselves be turned away, it is not possible for their hearts to be made new a second time; because they themselves put the Son of God on the cross again, openly shaming him.

bbe@Hebrews:6:8 @But if it sends up thorns and evil plants, it is of no use and is ready to be cursed; its only end is to be burned.

bbe@Hebrews:6:10 @For God is true, and will not put away from him the memory of your work and of your love for his name, in the help which you gave and still give to the saints.

bbe@Hebrews:6:12 @So that you may not be slow in heart, but may take as your example those to whom God has given their heritage, because of their faith and their long waiting.

bbe@Hebrews:6:16 @For men at all times make their oaths by what is greater; and any argument is ended by the decision of the oath.

bbe@Hebrews:6:20 @Where Jesus has gone before us, as a high priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.

bbe@Hebrews:7:1 @For this Melchizedek, the king of Salem, a priest of the Most High God, who gave Abraham his blessing, meeting him when he came back after putting the kings to death,

bbe@Hebrews:7:2 @And to whom Abraham gave a tenth part of everything which he had, being first named King of righteousness, and then in addition, King of Salem, that is to say, King of peace;

bbe@Hebrews:7:3 @Being without father or mother, or family, having no birth or end to his life, being made like the Son of God, is a priest for ever.

bbe@Hebrews:7:4 @Now see how great this man was, to whom our father Abraham gave a tenth part of what he had got in the fight.

bbe@Hebrews:7:5 @And it is true that by the law, those of the sons of Levi who have the position of priests may take a tenth part of the people's goods; that is to say, they take it from their brothers though these are the sons of Abraham.

bbe@Hebrews:7:6 @But this man, who was not of their family, took the tenth from Abraham, and gave a blessing to him to whom God had given his undertaking.

bbe@Hebrews:7:8 @Now at the present time, men over whom death has power take the tenth; but then it was taken by one of whom it is witnessed that he is living.

bbe@Hebrews:7:11 @Now if it was possible for things to be made complete through the priests of the house of Levi (for the law was given to the people in connection with them), what need was there for another priest who was of the order of Melchizedek and not of the order of Aaron?

bbe@Hebrews:7:13 @For he of whom these things are said comes of another tribe, of which no man has ever made offerings at the altar.

bbe@Hebrews:7:14 @Because it is clear that our Lord comes out of Judah, and Moses said nothing about priests from that tribe.

bbe@Hebrews:7:16 @That is to say, not made by a law based on the flesh, but by the power of a life without end:

bbe@Hebrews:7:17 @For it has been witnessed of him, You are a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.

bbe@Hebrews:7:18 @So the law which went before is put on one side, because it was feeble and without profit.

bbe@Hebrews:7:20 @And as this is not without the taking of an oath

bbe@Hebrews:7:21 @(For those were made priests without an oath, but this one was made a priest with an oath by him who says of him, The Lord gave his oath, which he will not take back, that you are a priest for ever);

bbe@Hebrews:7:23 @And it is true that there have been a great number of those priests, because death does not let them go on for ever;

bbe@Hebrews:7:25 @So that he is fully able to be the saviour of all who come to God through him, because he is ever living to make prayer to God for them.

bbe@Hebrews:7:27 @Who has no need to make offerings for sins every day, like those high priests, first for himself, and then for the people; because he did this once and for ever when he made an offering of himself.

bbe@Hebrews:7:28 @The law makes high priests of men who are feeble; but the word of the oath, which was made after the law, gives that position to a Son, in whom all good is for ever complete.

bbe@Hebrews:8:1 @Now of the things we are saying this is the chief point: We have such a high priest, who has taken his place at the right hand of God's high seat of glory in heaven,

bbe@Hebrews:8:2 @As a servant of the holy things and of the true Tent, which was put up by God, not by man.

bbe@Hebrews:8:3 @Now every high priest is given authority to take to God the things which are given and to make offerings; so that it is necessary for this man, like them, to have something for an offering.

bbe@Hebrews:8:4 @If he had been on earth he would not have been a priest at all, because there are other priests who make the offerings ordered by the law;

bbe@Hebrews:8:5 @Being servants of that which is a copy and an image of the things in heaven, as Moses, when he was about to make the Tent, had special orders from God: for, See, he said, that you make everything like the design which you saw in the mountain.

bbe@Hebrews:8:6 @But now his position as priest is higher. because through him God has made a better agreement with man, based on the giving of better things.

bbe@Hebrews:8:8 @For, protesting against them, he says, See, the days are coming when I will make a new agreement with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah;

bbe@Hebrews:8:9 @Not like the agreement which I made with their fathers when I took them by the hand, to be their guide out of the land of Egypt; for they did not keep the agreement with me, and I gave them up, says the Lord.

bbe@Hebrews:8:10 @For this is the agreement which I will make with the people of Israel after those days: I will put my laws into their minds, writing them in their hearts: and I will be their God, and they will be my people:

bbe@Hebrews:8:11 @And there will be no need for every man to be teaching his brother, or his neighbour, saying, This is the knowledge of the Lord: for they will all have knowledge of me, great and small.

bbe@Hebrews:9:1 @Now the first agreement had its rules of worship, and a holy order.

bbe@Hebrews:9:2 @For the first Tent was made ready, having in it the vessels for the lights and the table and the ordering of the bread; and this is named the holy place.

bbe@Hebrews:9:3 @And inside the second veil was the place which is named the Holy of holies;

bbe@Hebrews:9:4 @Having a vessel of gold in it for burning perfumes, and the ark of the agreement, which was covered with gold and which had in it a pot made of gold for the manna, and Aaron's rod which put out buds, and the stones with the writing of the agreement;

bbe@Hebrews:9:5 @And over it were the winged ones of glory with their wings covering the mercy-seat; about which it is not possible now to say anything in detail.

bbe@Hebrews:9:6 @Now while these things were in existence, the priests went into the first Tent at all times, for prayer and the making of offerings.

bbe@Hebrews:9:7 @But only the high priest went into the second, once a year, not without making an offering of blood for himself and for the errors of the people:

bbe@Hebrews:9:9 @And this is an image of the present time; when the offerings which are given are not able to make the heart of the worshipper completely clean,

bbe@Hebrews:9:10 @Because they are only rules of the flesh, of meats and drinks and washings, which have their place till the time comes when things will be put right.

bbe@Hebrews:9:11 @But now Christ has come as the high priest of the good things of the future, through this greater and better Tent, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this world,

bbe@Hebrews:9:12 @And has gone once and for ever into the holy place, having got eternal salvation, not through the blood of goats and young oxen, but through his blood.

bbe@Hebrews:9:13 @For if the blood of goats and oxen, and the dust from the burning of a young cow, being put on the unclean, make the flesh clean:

bbe@Hebrews:9:14 @How much more will the blood of Christ, who, being without sin, made an offering of himself to God through the Holy Spirit, make your hearts clean from dead works to be servants of the living God?

bbe@Hebrews:9:15 @And for this cause it is through him that a new agreement has come into being, so that after the errors under the first agreement had been taken away by his death, the word of God might have effect for those who were marked out for an eternal heritage.

bbe@Hebrews:9:16 @Because where there is a testament, there has to be the death of the man who made it.

bbe@Hebrews:9:19 @For when Moses had given all the rules of the law to the people, he took the blood of goats and young oxen, with water and red wool and hyssop, and put it on the book itself and on all the people,

bbe@Hebrews:9:20 @Saying, This blood is the sign of the agreement which God has made with you

bbe@Hebrews:9:23 @For this cause it was necessary to make the copies of the things in heaven clean with these offerings; but the things themselves are made clean with better offerings than these.

bbe@Hebrews:9:24 @For Christ did not go into a holy place which had been made by men's hands as the copy of the true one; but he went into heaven itself, and now takes his place before the face of God for us.

bbe@Hebrews:9:25 @And he did not have to make an offering of himself again and again, as the high priest goes into the holy place every year with blood which is not his;

bbe@Hebrews:9:26 @For then he would have undergone a number of deaths from the time of the making of the world: but now he has come to us at the end of the old order, to put away sin by the offering of himself.

bbe@Hebrews:9:28 @So Christ, having at his first coming taken on himself the sins of men, will be seen a second time, without sin, by those who are waiting for him, for their salvation.

bbe@Hebrews:10:1 @For the law, being only a poor copy of the future good things, and not the true image of those things, is never able to make the people who come to the altar every year with the same offerings completely clean.

bbe@Hebrews:10:2 @For if this had been possible, would there not have been an end of those offerings, because the worshippers would have been made completely clean and would have been no longer conscious of sins?

bbe@Hebrews:10:3 @But year by year there is a memory of sins in those offerings.

bbe@Hebrews:10:4 @Because it is not possible for the blood of oxen and goats to take away sins.

bbe@Hebrews:10:5 @So that when he comes into the world, he says, You had no desire for offerings, but you made a body ready for me;

bbe@Hebrews:10:6 @You had no joy in burned offerings or in offerings for sin.

bbe@Hebrews:10:7 @Then I said, See, I have come to do your pleasure, O God (as it is said of me in the roll of the book).

bbe@Hebrews:10:8 @After saying, You had no desire for offerings, for burned offerings or offerings for sin (which are made by the law) and you had no pleasure in them,

bbe@Hebrews:10:10 @By that pleasure we have been made holy, by the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once and for ever.

bbe@Hebrews:10:11 @And every priest takes his place at the altar day by day, doing what is necessary, and making again and again the same offerings which are never able to take away sins.

bbe@Hebrews:10:12 @But when Jesus had made one offering for sins for ever, he took his place at the right hand of God;

bbe@Hebrews:10:14 @Because by one offering he has made complete for ever those who are made holy.

bbe@Hebrews:10:17 @And I will keep no more memory of their sins and of their evil-doings.

bbe@Hebrews:10:18 @Now where there is forgiveness of these, there is no more offering for sin.

bbe@Hebrews:10:19 @So then, my brothers, being able to go into the holy place without fear, because of the blood of Jesus,

bbe@Hebrews:10:21 @And having a great priest over the house of God,

bbe@Hebrews:10:22 @Let us go in with true hearts, in certain faith, having our hearts made free from the sense of sin and our bodies washed with clean water:

bbe@Hebrews:10:23 @Let us keep the witness of our hope strong and unshaking, for he is true who has given his word:

bbe@Hebrews:10:25 @Not giving up our meetings, as is the way of some, but keeping one another strong in faith; and all the more because you see the day coming near.

bbe@Hebrews:10:26 @For if we do evil on purpose after we have had the knowledge of what is true, there is no more offering for sins,

bbe@Hebrews:10:27 @But only a great fear of being judged, and of the fire of wrath which will be the destruction of the haters of God.

bbe@Hebrews:10:28 @A man who has gone against the law of Moses is put to death without pity on the word of two or three witnesses:

bbe@Hebrews:10:29 @But will not the man by whom the Son of God has been crushed under foot, and the blood of the agreement with which he was washed clean has been taken as an unholy thing, and who has had no respect for the Spirit of grace, be judged bad enough for a very much worse punishment?

bbe@Hebrews:10:30 @For we have had experience of him who says, Punishment is mine, I will give reward. And again, The Lord will be judge of his people.

bbe@Hebrews:10:31 @We may well go in fear of falling into the hands of the living God.

bbe@Hebrews:10:32 @But give thought to the days after you had seen the light, when you went through a great war of troubles;

bbe@Hebrews:10:33 @In part, in being attacked by angry words and cruel acts, before the eyes of everyone, and in part, in being united with those who were attacked in this way.

bbe@Hebrews:10:34 @For you had pity on those who were in prison, and had joy in the loss of your property, in the knowledge that you still had a better property and one which you would keep for ever.

bbe@Hebrews:10:36 @For, having done what was right in God's eyes, you have need of waiting before his word has effect for you.

bbe@Hebrews:10:39 @But we are not of those who go back to destruction; but of those who have faith even to the salvation of the soul.

bbe@Hebrews:11:1 @Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, and the sign that the things not seen are true.

bbe@Hebrews:11:3 @By faith it is clear to us that the order of events was fixed by the word of God, so that what is seen has not been made from things which only seem to be.

bbe@Hebrews:11:4 @By faith Abel made a better offering to God than Cain, and he had witness through it of his righteousness, God giving his approval of his offering: and his voice still comes to us through it though he is dead.

bbe@Hebrews:11:6 @And without faith it is not possible to be well-pleasing to him, for it is necessary for anyone who comes to God to have the belief that God is, and that he is a rewarder of all those who make a serious search for him.

bbe@Hebrews:11:7 @By faith Noah, being moved by the fear of God, made ready an ark for the salvation of his family, because God had given him news of things which were not seen at the time; and through it the world was judged by him, and he got for his heritage the righteousness which is by faith.

bbe@Hebrews:11:8 @By faith Abraham did as God said when he was ordered to go out into a place which was to be given to him as a heritage, and went out without knowledge of where he was going.

bbe@Hebrews:11:9 @By faith he was a wanderer in the land of the agreement, as in a strange land, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, who had a part with him in the same heritage:

bbe@Hebrews:11:13 @All these came to their end in faith, not having had the heritage; but having seen it with delight far away, they gave witness that they were wanderers and not of the earth.

bbe@Hebrews:11:15 @And truly if they had kept in mind the country from which they went out, they would have had chances of turning back.

bbe@Hebrews:11:17 @By faith Abraham made an offering of Isaac, when he was tested: and he with whom the agreement had been made gave up as an offering the only son of his body,

bbe@Hebrews:11:18 @Of whom it had been said, From Isaac will your seed take their name:

bbe@Hebrews:11:19 @Judging that God was able to give life even to the dead; and because of this he did get him back as if from death.

bbe@Hebrews:11:20 @By faith Isaac, blessing Jacob and Esau, gave news of things to come.

bbe@Hebrews:11:21 @By faith Jacob gave a blessing to the two sons of Joseph, when he was near to death; and gave God worship, supported by his stick.

bbe@Hebrews:11:22 @By faith Joseph, when his end was near, said that the children of Israel would go out of Egypt; and gave orders about his bones.

bbe@Hebrews:11:23 @By faith Moses was kept secretly by his father and mother for three months after his birth, because they saw that he was a fair child; and they had no fear of the king's orders.

bbe@Hebrews:11:24 @By faith Moses, when he became a man, had no desire to be named the son of Pharaoh's daughter;

bbe@Hebrews:11:25 @Feeling that it was better to undergo pain with the people of God, than for a short time to have a taste of the pleasures of sin;

bbe@Hebrews:11:26 @Judging a part in the shame of Christ to be better than all the wealth of Egypt; for he was looking forward to his reward.

bbe@Hebrews:11:27 @By faith he went out of Egypt, not being turned from his purpose by fear of the wrath of the king; for he kept on his way, as seeing him who is unseen.

bbe@Hebrews:11:28 @By faith he kept the Passover, and put the sign of the blood on the houses, so that the angel of destruction might not put their oldest sons to death.

bbe@Hebrews:11:30 @By faith the walls of Jericho came down, after they had been circled for seven days.

bbe@Hebrews:11:32 @What more am I to say? For there would not be time to give the stories of Gideon, Barak, Samson, and Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets:

bbe@Hebrews:11:33 @Who through faith overcame kingdoms, did righteousness, got their reward, kept the mouths of lions shut,

bbe@Hebrews:11:34 @Put out the power of fire, got safely away from the edge of the sword, were made strong when they had been feeble, became full of power in war, and put to flight the armies of the nations.

bbe@Hebrews:11:39 @And not one of these got the good things of the agreement, though they all had a good record through faith,

bbe@Hebrews:12:1 @For this reason, as we are circled by so great a cloud of witnesses, putting off every weight, and the sin into which we come so readily, let us keep on running in the way which is marked out for us,

bbe@Hebrews:12:2 @Having our eyes fixed on Jesus, the guide and end of our faith, who went through the pains of the cross, not caring for the shame, because of the joy which was before him, and who has now taken his place at the right hand of God's seat of power.

bbe@Hebrews:12:3 @Give thought to him who has undergone so much of the hate of sinners against himself, so that you may not be tired and feeble of purpose.

bbe@Hebrews:12:5 @And you have not kept in mind the word which says to you as to sons, My son, do not make little of the Lord's punishment, and do not give up hope when you are judged by him;

bbe@Hebrews:12:6 @For the Lord sends punishment on his loved ones; everyone whom he takes as his son has experience of his rod.

bbe@Hebrews:12:8 @But if you have not that punishment of which we all have our part, then you are not true sons, but children of shame.

bbe@Hebrews:12:9 @And again, if the fathers of our flesh gave us punishment and had our respect, how much more will we be under the authority of the Father of spirits, and have life?

bbe@Hebrews:12:10 @For they truly gave us punishment for a short time, as it seemed good to them; but he does it for our profit, so that we may become holy as he is.

bbe@Hebrews:12:11 @At the time all punishment seems to be pain and not joy: but after, those who have been trained by it get from it the peace-giving fruit of righteousness.

bbe@Hebrews:12:13 @And make straight roads for your feet, so that the feeble may not be turned out of the way, but may be made strong

bbe@Hebrews:12:15 @Looking with care to see that no man among you in his behaviour comes short of the grace of God; for fear that some bitter root may come up to be a trouble to you, and that some of you may be made unclean by it;

bbe@Hebrews:12:16 @And that there may not be any evil liver, or any man without respect for God, like Esau, who let his birthright go for a plate of food.

bbe@Hebrews:12:19 @And to the sound of a horn, and the voice of words, the hearers of which made request that not a word more might be said to them:

bbe@Hebrews:12:21 @And the vision was so overpowering that even Moses said, I am shaking and full of fear.

bbe@Hebrews:12:22 @But you have come to the mountain of Zion, to the place of the living God, to the Jerusalem which is in heaven, and to an army of angels which may not be numbered,

bbe@Hebrews:12:23 @To the great meeting and church of the first of those who are named in heaven, and to God the judge of all, and to the spirits of good men made complete,

bbe@Hebrews:12:24 @And to Jesus by whom the new agreement has been made between God and man, and to the sign of the blood which says better things than Abel's blood.

bbe@Hebrews:12:25 @See that you give ear to his voice which comes to you. For if those whose ears were shut to the voice which came to them on earth did not go free from punishment, what chance have we of going free if we give no attention to him whose voice comes from heaven?

bbe@Hebrews:12:26 @Whose voice was the cause of the shaking of the earth; but now he has made an oath, saying, There will be still one more shaking, not only of the earth, but of heaven.

bbe@Hebrews:12:27 @And the words, Still one more, make it clear that there will be a taking away of those things which are shaking, as of things which are made, so that there may be only those things of which no shaking is possible.

bbe@Hebrews:13:2 @Take care to keep open house: because in this way some have had angels as their guests, without being conscious of it.

bbe@Hebrews:13:4 @Let married life be honoured among all of you and not made unclean; for men untrue in married life will be judged by God.

bbe@Hebrews:13:5 @Be free from the love of money and pleased with the things which you have; for he himself has said, I will be with you at all times.

bbe@Hebrews:13:7 @Keep in mind those who were over you, and who gave you the word of God; seeing the outcome of their way of life, let your faith be like theirs.

bbe@Hebrews:13:9 @Do not be turned away by different strange teachings, because it is good for your hearts to be made strong by grace, and not by meats, which were of no profit to those who took so much trouble over them.

bbe@Hebrews:13:11 @For the bodies of the beasts whose blood is taken into the holy place by the high priest as an offering for sin are burned outside the circle of the tents.

bbe@Hebrews:13:13 @Let us then go out to him outside the circle of the tents, taking his shame on ourselves.

bbe@Hebrews:13:15 @Let us then make offerings of praise to God at all times through him, that is to say, the fruit of lips giving witness to his name

bbe@Hebrews:13:16 @But go on doing good and giving to others, because God is well-pleased with such offerings.

bbe@Hebrews:13:17 @Give ear to those who are rulers over you, and do as they say: for they keep watch over your souls, ready to give an account of them; let them be able to do this with joy and not with grief, because that would be of no profit to you.

bbe@Hebrews:13:18 @Make prayers for us, for we are certain that our hearts are free from the sense of sin, desiring the right way of life in all things.

bbe@Hebrews:13:19 @I make this request more strongly, in the hope of coming back to you more quickly.

bbe@Hebrews:13:20 @Now may the God of peace, who made that great keeper of his flock, even our Lord Jesus, come back from the dead through the blood of the eternal agreement,

bbe@Hebrews:13:21 @Make you full of every good work and ready to do all his desires, working in us whatever is pleasing in his eyes through Jesus Christ; and may the glory be given to him for ever and ever. So be it.

bbe@Hebrews:13:22 @But, brothers, take kindly the words which I have said for your profit; for I have not sent you a long letter.

bbe@Hebrews:13:23 @Our brother Timothy has been let out of prison; and if he comes here in a short time, he and I will come to you together.

bbe@Hebrews:13:24 @Give words of love from me to those who are rulers over you, and to all the saints. Those who are in Italy send you their love.

bbe@James:1:1 @James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, sends words of love to the twelve tribes of the Jews living in all parts of the earth.

bbe@James:1:2 @Let it be all joy to you, my brothers, when you undergo tests of every sort;

bbe@James:1:3 @Because you have the knowledge that the testing of your faith gives you the power of going on in hope;

bbe@James:1:6 @Let him make his request in faith, doubting nothing; for he who has doubt in his heart is like the waves of the sea, which are troubled by the driving of the wind.

bbe@James:1:9 @But let the brother of low position be glad that he is lifted up;

bbe@James:1:10 @But the man of wealth, that he is made low; because like the flower of the grass he will come to his end.

bbe@James:1:11 @For when the sun comes up with its burning heat, the grass gets dry and the grace of its form is gone with the falling flower; so the man of wealth comes to nothing in his ways.

bbe@James:1:12 @There is a blessing on the man who undergoes testing; because, if he has God's approval, he will be given the crown of life, which the Lord has said he will give to those who have love for him.

bbe@James:1:14 @But every man is tested when he is turned out of the right way by the attraction of his desire.

bbe@James:1:15 @Then when its time comes, desire gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is of full growth, gives birth to death.

bbe@James:1:17 @Every good and true thing is given to us from heaven, coming from the Father of lights, with whom there is no change or any shade made by turning.

bbe@James:1:18 @Of his purpose he gave us being, by his true word, so that we might be, in a sense, the first-fruits of all the things which he had made.

bbe@James:1:19 @You have knowledge of this, dear brothers. But let every man be quick in hearing, slow in words, slow to get angry;

bbe@James:1:20 @For the righteousness of God does not come about by the wrath of man.

bbe@James:1:21 @For this reason, putting away all dirty behaviour and the overweight of evil, take into your souls without pride the word which, being planted there, is able to give you salvation.

bbe@James:1:22 @But be doers of the word, and not only hearers of it, blinding yourselves with false ideas.

bbe@James:1:23 @Because if any man is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man looking at his natural face in a glass;

bbe@James:1:24 @For after looking at himself he goes away, and in a short time he has no memory of what he was like.

bbe@James:1:26 @If a man seems to have religion and has no control over his tongue but lets himself be tricked by what is false, this man's religion is of no value.

bbe@James:1:27 @The religion which is holy and free from evil in the eyes of our God and Father is this: to take care of children who have no fathers and of widows who are in trouble, and to keep oneself untouched by the world.

bbe@James:2:1 @My brothers, if you have the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ of glory, do not take a man's position into account.

bbe@James:2:5 @Give ear, my dear brothers; are not those who are poor in the things of this world marked out by God to have faith as their wealth, and for their heritage the kingdom which he has said he will give to those who have love for him?

bbe@James:2:6 @But you have put the poor man to shame. Are not the men of wealth rulers over you? do they not take you by force before their judges?

bbe@James:2:7 @Do they not say evil of the holy name which was given to you?

bbe@James:2:8 @But if you keep the greatest law of all, as it is given in the holy Writings, Have love for your neighbour as for yourself, you do well:

bbe@James:2:12 @Let your words and your acts be those of men who are to be judged by the law which makes free.

bbe@James:2:15 @If a brother or a sister is without clothing and in need of the day's food,

bbe@James:2:16 @And one of you says to them, Go in peace, be warm and full of food; but you do not give them the things of which their bodies have need, what profit is there in this?

bbe@James:2:20 @Do you not see, O foolish man, that faith without works is of no use?

bbe@James:2:21 @Was not the righteousness of Abraham our father judged by his works, when he made an offering of Isaac his son on the altar?

bbe@James:2:23 @And the holy Writings were put into effect which said, And Abraham had faith in God and it was put to his account as righteousness; and he was named the friend of God.

bbe@James:2:25 @And in the same way, was not the righteousness of Rahab, the loose woman, judged by her works, when she took into her house those who were sent and let them go out by another way?

bbe@James:3:2 @For we all go wrong in a number of things. If a man never makes a slip in his talk, then he is a complete man and able to keep all his body in control.

bbe@James:3:3 @Now if we put bits of iron into horses' mouths so that they may be guided by us, we have complete control of their bodies.

bbe@James:3:4 @And again ships, though they are so great and are moved by violent winds, are turned by a very small guiding-blade, at the impulse of the man who is using it.

bbe@James:3:5 @Even so the tongue is a small part of the body, but it takes credit for great things. How much wood may be lighted by a very little fire!

bbe@James:3:6 @And the tongue is a fire; it is the power of evil placed in our bodies, making all the body unclean, putting the wheel of life on fire, and getting its fire from hell.

bbe@James:3:7 @For every sort of beast and bird and every living thing on earth and in the sea has been controlled by man and is under his authority;

bbe@James:3:8 @But the tongue may not be controlled by man; it is an unresting evil, it is full of the poison of death.

bbe@James:3:10 @Out of the same mouth comes blessing and cursing

bbe@James:3:13 @Who has wisdom and good sense among you? let him make his works clear by a life of gentle wisdom.

bbe@James:3:14 @But if you have bitter envy in your heart and the desire to get the better of others, have no pride in this, talking falsely against what is true.

bbe@James:3:15 @This wisdom is not from heaven, but is of the earth and the flesh and the Evil One.

bbe@James:3:16 @For where envy is, and the desire to get the better of others, there is no order, but every sort of evil-doing.

bbe@James:3:17 @But the wisdom which is from heaven is first holy, then gentle, readily giving way in argument, full of peace and mercy and good works, not doubting, not seeming other than it is.

bbe@James:3:18 @And the fruit of righteousness is planted in peace for those who make peace.

bbe@James:4:1 @What is the cause of wars and fighting among you? is it not in your desires which are at war in your bodies?

bbe@James:4:2 @You are burning with desire, and have not your desire, so you put men to death; you are full of envy, and you are not able to get your desire, so you are fighting and making war; you have not your desire, because you do not make request for it.

bbe@James:4:3 @You make your request but you do not get it, because your request has been wrongly made, desiring the thing only so that you may make use of it for your pleasure.

bbe@James:4:4 @O you who are false to God, do you not see that the friends of this world are not God's friends? Every man desiring to be a friend of this world makes himself a hater of God.

bbe@James:4:6 @But he gives more grace. So that the Writings say, God is against the men of pride, but he gives grace to those who make themselves low before him.

bbe@James:4:10 @Make yourselves low in the eyes of the Lord and you will be lifted up by him

bbe@James:4:11 @Do not say evil against one another, my brothers. He who says evil against his brother or makes himself his brother's judge, says evil against the law and is judging the law: and in judging the law you become, not a doer of the law but a judge.

bbe@James:4:12 @There is only one judge and law-giver, even he who has the power of salvation and of destruction; but who are you to be your neighbour's judge?

bbe@James:4:17 @The man who has knowledge of how to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.

bbe@James:5:1 @Come now, you men of wealth, give yourselves to weeping and crying because of the bitter troubles which are coming to you.

bbe@James:5:4 @See, the money which you falsely kept back from the workers cutting the grass in your field, is crying out against you; and the cries of those who took in your grain have come to the ears of the Lord of armies.

bbe@James:5:5 @You have been living delicately on earth and have taken your pleasure; you have made your hearts fat for a day of destruction.

bbe@James:5:7 @Go on waiting calmly, my brothers, till the coming of the Lord, like the farmer waiting for the good fruit of the earth till the early and late rains have come.

bbe@James:5:8 @Be as calm in your waiting; let your hearts be strong: because the coming of the Lord is near.

bbe@James:5:10 @Take as an example of pain nobly undergone and of strength in trouble, the prophets who gave to men the words of the Lord.

bbe@James:5:11 @We say that those men who have gone through pain are happy: you have the story of Job and the troubles through which he went and have seen that the Lord was full of pity and mercy in the end.

bbe@James:5:12 @But most of all, my brothers, do not take oaths, not by the heaven, or by the earth, or by any other thing: but let your Yes be Yes, and your No be No: so that you may not be judged

bbe@James:5:13 @Is anyone among you in trouble? let him say prayers. Is anyone glad? let him make a song of praise.

bbe@James:5:14 @Is anyone among you ill? let him send for the rulers of the church; and let them say prayers over him, putting oil on him in the name of the Lord.

bbe@James:5:15 @And by the prayer of faith the man who is ill will be made well, and he will be lifted up by the Lord, and for any sin which he has done he will have forgiveness.

bbe@James:5:16 @So then, make a statement of your sins to one another, and say prayers for one another so that you may be made well. The prayer of a good man is full of power in its working.

bbe@James:5:17 @Elijah was a man of flesh and blood as we are, and he made a strong prayer that there might be no rain; and there was no rain on the earth for three years and six months.

bbe@James:5:19 @My brothers, if one of you has gone out of the way of the true faith and another has made him see his error,

bbe@James:5:20 @Be certain that he through whom a sinner has been turned from the error of his way, keeps a soul from death and is the cause of forgiveness for sins without number.

bbe@1Peter:1:1 @Peter, an Apostle of Jesus Christ, to the saints who are living in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,

bbe@1Peter:1:2 @Who, through the purpose of God, have been made holy by the Spirit, disciples of Jesus, made clean by his blood: May you have grace and peace in full measure.

bbe@1Peter:1:3 @Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who through his great mercy has given us a new birth and a living hope by the coming again of Jesus Christ from the dead,

bbe@1Peter:1:5 @Who, by the power of God are kept, through faith, for that salvation, which will be seen at the last day.

bbe@1Peter:1:6 @You have cause for great joy in this, though it may have been necessary for you to be troubled for a little time, being tested in all sorts of ways,

bbe@1Peter:1:7 @So that the true metal of your faith, being of much greater value than gold (which, though it comes to an end, is tested by fire), may come to light in praise and glory and honour, at the revelation of Jesus Christ:

bbe@1Peter:1:8 @To whom your love is given, though you have not seen him; and the faith which you have in him, though you do not see him now, gives you joy greater than words and full of glory:

bbe@1Peter:1:9 @For so you have the true end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.

bbe@1Peter:1:10 @For the prophets who gave the news of the grace which would come to you, made search with all care for knowledge of this salvation;

bbe@1Peter:1:11 @Attempting to see what sort of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them was pointing to, when it gave witness to the pains which Christ would undergo and the glories which would come after them.

bbe@1Peter:1:12 @And it was made clear to those prophets that they were God's servants not for themselves but for you, to give you word of the things which have now come to your ears from the preachers of the good news through the Holy Spirit sent down from heaven; things which even angels have a desire to see.

bbe@1Peter:1:13 @So make your minds ready, and keep on the watch, hoping with all your power for the grace which is to come to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;

bbe@1Peter:1:14 @Like children ruled by God, do not go back to the old desires of the time when you were without knowledge:

bbe@1Peter:1:15 @But be holy in every detail of your lives, as he, whose servants you are, is holy;

bbe@1Peter:1:17 @And if you give the name of Father to him who, judging every man by his acts, has no respect for a man's position, then go in fear while you are on this earth:

bbe@1Peter:1:18 @Being conscious that you have been made free from that foolish way of life which was your heritage from your fathers, not through a payment of things like silver or gold which come to destruction,

bbe@1Peter:1:19 @But through holy blood, like that of a clean and unmarked lamb, even the blood of Christ:

bbe@1Peter:1:20 @Who was marked out by God before the making of the world, but was caused to be seen in these last times for you,

bbe@1Peter:1:23 @Because you have had a new birth, not from the seed of man, but from eternal seed, through the word of a living and unchanging God.

bbe@1Peter:1:24 @For it is said, All flesh is like grass, and all its glory like the flower of the grass. The grass becomes dry and the flower dead:

bbe@1Peter:1:25 @But the word of the Lord is eternal. And this is the word of the good news which was given to you.

bbe@1Peter:2:2 @Be full of desire for the true milk of the word, as babies at their mothers' breasts, so that you may go on to salvation;

bbe@1Peter:2:3 @If you have had a taste of the grace of the Lord:

bbe@1Peter:2:4 @To whom you come, as to a living stone, not honoured by men, but of great and special value to God;

bbe@1Peter:2:5 @You, as living stones, are being made into a house of the spirit, a holy order of priests, making those offerings of the spirit which are pleasing to God through Jesus Christ.

bbe@1Peter:2:6 @Because it is said in the Writings, See, I am placing a keystone in Zion, of great and special value; and the man who has faith in him will not be put to shame.

bbe@1Peter:2:7 @And the value is for you who have faith; but it is said for those without faith, The very stone which the builders put on one side, was made the chief stone of the building;

bbe@1Peter:2:8 @And, A stone of falling, a rock of trouble; the word is the cause of their fall, because they go against it, and this was the purpose of God.

bbe@1Peter:2:9 @But you are a special people, a holy nation, priests and kings, a people given up completely to God, so that you may make clear the virtues of him who took you out of the dark into the light of heaven.

bbe@1Peter:2:10 @In the past you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; then there was no mercy for you, but now mercy has been given to you.

bbe@1Peter:2:11 @My loved ones, I make this request with all my heart, that, as those for whom this world is a strange country, you will keep yourselves from the desires of the flesh which make war against the soul;

bbe@1Peter:2:12 @Being of good behaviour among the Gentiles; so that though they say now that you are evil-doers, they may see your good works and give glory to God when he comes to be their judge.

bbe@1Peter:2:13 @Keep all the laws of men because of the Lord; those of the king, who is over all,

bbe@1Peter:2:14 @And those of the rulers who are sent by him for the punishment of evil-doers and for the praise of those who do well.

bbe@1Peter:2:16 @As those who are free, not using your free position as a cover for wrongdoing, but living as the servants of God;

bbe@1Peter:2:19 @For it is a sign of grace if a man, desiring to do right in the eyes of God, undergoes pain as punishment for something which he has not done.

bbe@1Peter:2:23 @To sharp words he gave no sharp answer; when he was undergoing pain, no angry word came from his lips; but he put himself into the hands of the judge of righteousness:

bbe@1Peter:2:25 @Because, like sheep, you had gone out of the way; but now you have come back to him who keeps watch over your souls.

bbe@1Peter:3:1 @Wives, be ruled by your husbands; so that even if some of them give no attention to the word, their hearts may be changed by the behaviour of their wives,

bbe@1Peter:3:2 @When they see your holy behaviour in the fear of God.

bbe@1Peter:3:3 @Do not let your ornaments be those of the body such as dressing of the hair, or putting on of jewels of gold or fair clothing;

bbe@1Peter:3:4 @But let them be those of the unseen man of the heart, the ever-shining ornament of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great price in the eyes of God.

bbe@1Peter:3:5 @And these were the ornaments of the holy women of the past, whose hope was in God, being ruled by their husbands:

bbe@1Peter:3:7 @And you husbands, give thought to your way of life with your wives, giving honour to the woman who is the feebler vessel, but who has an equal part in the heritage of the grace of life; so that you may not be kept from prayer.

bbe@1Peter:3:8 @Last of all, see that you are all in agreement; feeling for one another, loving one another like brothers, full of pity, without pride:

bbe@1Peter:3:9 @Not giving back evil for evil, or curse for curse, but in place of cursing, blessing; because this is the purpose of God for you that you may have a heritage of blessing.

bbe@1Peter:3:10 @For it is said, Let the man who has a love of life, desiring to see good days, keep his tongue from evil and his lips from words of deceit:

bbe@1Peter:3:12 @For the eyes of the Lord are on the upright, and his ears are open to their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.

bbe@1Peter:3:14 @But you are happy if you undergo pain because of righteousness; have no part in their fear and do not be troubled;

bbe@1Peter:3:15 @But give honour to Christ in your hearts as your Lord; and be ready at any time when you are questioned about the hope which is in you, to give an answer in the fear of the Lord and without pride;

bbe@1Peter:3:16 @Being conscious that you have done no wrong; so that those who say evil things about your good way of life as Christians may be put to shame.

bbe@1Peter:3:18 @Because Christ once went through pain for sins, the upright one taking the place of sinners, so that through him we might come back to God; being put to death in the flesh, but given life in the Spirit;

bbe@1Peter:3:20 @Who, in the days of Noah, went against God's orders; but God in his mercy kept back the punishment, while Noah got ready the ark, in which a small number, that is to say eight persons, got salvation through water:

bbe@1Peter:3:21 @And baptism, of which this is an image, now gives you salvation, not by washing clean the flesh, but by making you free from the sense of sin before God, through the coming again of Jesus Christ from the dead;

bbe@1Peter:3:22 @Who has gone into heaven, and is at the right hand of God, angels and authorities and powers having been put under his rule.

bbe@1Peter:4:1 @So that as Jesus was put to death in the flesh, do you yourselves be of the same mind; for the death of the flesh puts an end to sin;

bbe@1Peter:4:2 @So that you may give the rest of your lives in the flesh, not to the desires of men, but to the purpose of God.

bbe@1Peter:4:3 @Because for long enough, in times past, we have been living after the way of the Gentiles, given up to the desires of the flesh, to drinking and feasting and loose behaviour and unclean worship of images;

bbe@1Peter:4:4 @And they are wondering that you no longer go with them in this violent wasting of life, and are saying evil things of you:

bbe@1Peter:4:5 @But they will have to give an account of themselves to him who is ready to be the judge of the living and the dead.

bbe@1Peter:4:6 @For this was the reason why the good news of Jesus was given even to the dead, so that they might be judged as men in the flesh, but might be living before God in the spirit.

bbe@1Peter:4:7 @But the end of all things is near: so be serious in your behaviour and keep on the watch with prayer;

bbe@1Peter:4:8 @And most of all be warm in your love for one another; because in love there is forgiveness for sins without number:

bbe@1Peter:4:10 @Making distribution among one another of whatever has been given to you, like true servants of the unmeasured grace of God;

bbe@1Peter:4:11 @If anyone has anything to say, let it be as the words of God; if anyone has the desire to be the servant of others, let him do it in the strength which is given by God; so that in all things God may have the glory through Jesus Christ, whose are the glory and the power for ever.

bbe@1Peter:4:13 @But be glad that you are given a part in the pains of Christ; so that at the revelation of his glory you may have great joy.

bbe@1Peter:4:14 @If men say evil things of you because of the name of Christ, happy are you; for the Spirit of glory and of God is resting on you.

bbe@1Peter:4:15 @Let no one among you undergo punishment as a taker of life, or as a thief, or as an evil-doer, or as one who is over-interested in other men's business;

bbe@1Peter:4:17 @For the time has come for the judging, starting with the church of God; but if it makes a start with us, what will be the end of those who are not under the rule of God?

bbe@1Peter:4:19 @For this reason let those who by the purpose of God undergo punishment, keep on in well-doing and put their souls into the safe hands of their Maker.

bbe@1Peter:5:1 @I who am myself one of the rulers of the church, and a witness of the death of Christ, having my part in the coming glory, send this serious request to the chief men among you:

bbe@1Peter:5:2 @Keep watch over the flock of God which is in your care, using your authority, not as forced to do so, but gladly; and not for unclean profit but with a ready mind;

bbe@1Peter:5:4 @And at the coming of the chief Keeper of the sheep, you will be given the eternal crown of glory.

bbe@1Peter:5:5 @And in the same way, let the younger men be ruled by the older ones. Let all of you put away pride and make yourselves ready to be servants: for God is a hater of pride, but he gives grace to those who make themselves low.

bbe@1Peter:5:6 @For this cause make yourselves low under the strong hand of God, so that when the time comes you may be lifted up;

bbe@1Peter:5:7 @Putting all your troubles on him, for he takes care of you.

bbe@1Peter:5:8 @Be serious and keep watch; the Evil One, who is against you, goes about like a lion with open mouth in search of food;

bbe@1Peter:5:10 @And after you have undergone pain for a little time, the God of all grace who has given you a part in his eternal glory through Christ Jesus, will himself give you strength and support, and make you complete in every good thing;

bbe@1Peter:5:12 @I have sent you this short letter by Silvanus, a true brother, in my opinion; comforting you and witnessing that this is the true grace of God; keep to it

bbe@1Peter:5:13 @She who is in Babylon, who has a part with you in the purpose of God, sends you her love; and so does my son Mark.

bbe@1Peter:5:14 @Give one another the kiss of love. Peace be to you all in Christ.

bbe@2Peter:1:1 @Simon Peter, a servant and Apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who with us have a part in the same holy faith in the righteousness of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ:

bbe@2Peter:1:2 @May grace and peace ever be increasing in you, in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord;

bbe@2Peter:1:3 @Because by his power he has given us everything necessary for life and righteousness, through the knowledge of him who has been our guide by his glory and virtue;

bbe@2Peter:1:4 @And through this he has given us the hope of great rewards highly to be valued; so that by them we might have our part in God's being, and be made free from the destruction which is in the world through the desires of the flesh.

bbe@2Peter:1:6 @And self-control to knowledge, and a quiet mind to self-control, and fear of God to a quiet mind,

bbe@2Peter:1:7 @And love of the brothers to fear of God, and to love of the brothers, love itself.

bbe@2Peter:1:8 @For if you have these things in good measure, they will make you fertile and full of fruit in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

bbe@2Peter:1:9 @For the man who has not these things is blind, seeing only what is near, having no memory of how he was made clean from his old sins.

bbe@2Peter:1:11 @For so the way will be open to you into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

bbe@2Peter:1:12 @For this reason I will be ready at all times to keep your memory of these things awake, though you have the knowledge of them now and are well based in your present faith.

bbe@2Peter:1:13 @And it seems right to me, as long as I am in this tent of flesh, to keep your minds awake by working on your memory;

bbe@2Peter:1:14 @For I am conscious that in a short time I will have to put off this tent of flesh, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me.

bbe@2Peter:1:15 @And I will take every care so that you may have a clear memory of these things after my death.

bbe@2Peter:1:16 @For when we gave you news of the power and the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, our teaching was not based on stories put together by art, but we were eye-witnesses of his glory.

bbe@2Peter:1:17 @For God the Father gave him honour and glory, when such a voice came to him out of the great glory, saying, This is my dearly loved Son, with whom I am well pleased.

bbe@2Peter:1:19 @And so the words of the prophets are made more certain; and it is well for you to give attention to them as to a light shining in a dark place, till the dawn comes and the morning star is seen in your hearts;

bbe@2Peter:1:20 @Being conscious in the first place that no man by himself may give a special sense to the words of the prophets.

bbe@2Peter:1:21 @For these words did not ever come through the impulse of men: but the prophets had them from God, being moved by the Holy Spirit.

bbe@2Peter:2:1 @But there were false prophets among the people, as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly put forward wrong teachings for your destruction, even turning away from the Lord who gave himself for them; whose destruction will come quickly, and they themselves will be the cause of it.

bbe@2Peter:2:3 @And in their desire for profit they will come to you with words of deceit, like traders doing business in souls: whose punishment has been ready for a long time and their destruction is watching for them.

bbe@2Peter:2:4 @For if God did not have pity for the angels who did evil, but sent them down into hell, to be kept in chains of eternal night till they were judged;

bbe@2Peter:2:5 @And did not have mercy on the world which then was, but only kept safe Noah, a preacher of righteousness, with seven others, when he let loose the waters over the world of the evil-doers;

bbe@2Peter:2:6 @And sent destruction on Sodom and Gomorrah, burning them up with fire as an example to those whose way of life might in the future be unpleasing to him;

bbe@2Peter:2:7 @And kept safe Lot, the upright man, who was deeply troubled by the unclean life of the evil-doers

bbe@2Peter:2:8 @(Because the soul of that upright man living among them was pained from day to day by seeing and hearing their crimes):

bbe@2Peter:2:9 @The Lord is able to keep the upright safe in the time of testing, and to keep evil-doers under punishment till the day of judging;

bbe@2Peter:2:10 @But specially those who go after the unclean desires of the flesh, and make sport of authority. Ready to take chances, uncontrolled, they have no fear of saying evil of those in high places:

bbe@2Peter:2:11 @Though the angels, who are greater in strength and power, do not make use of violent language against them before the Lord.

bbe@2Peter:2:12 @But these men, like beasts without reason, whose natural use is to be taken and put to death, crying out against things of which they have no knowledge, will undergo that same destruction which they are designing for others;

bbe@2Peter:2:13 @For the evil which overtakes them is the reward of their evil-doing: such men take their pleasure in the delights of the flesh even in the daytime; they are like the marks of a disease, like poisoned wounds among you, feasting together with you in joy;

bbe@2Peter:2:14 @Having eyes full of evil desire, never having enough of sin; turning feeble souls out of the true way; they are children of cursing, whose hearts are well used to bitter envy;

bbe@2Peter:2:15 @Turning out of the true way, they have gone wandering in error, after the way of Balaam, the son of Beor, who was pleased to take payment for wrongdoing;

bbe@2Peter:2:16 @But his wrongdoing was pointed out to him: an ass, talking with a man's voice, put a stop to the error of the prophet.

bbe@2Peter:2:18 @For with high-sounding false words, making use of the attraction of unclean desires of the flesh, they get into their power those newly made free from those who are living in error;

bbe@2Peter:2:19 @Saying that they will be free, while they themselves are the servants of destruction; because whatever gets the better of a man makes a servant of him.

bbe@2Peter:2:20 @For if, after they have got free from the unclean things of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again taken in the net and overcome, their last condition is worse than their first.

bbe@2Peter:2:21 @For it would have been better for them to have had no knowledge of the way of righteousness, than to go back again from the holy law which was given to them, after having knowledge of it.

bbe@2Peter:2:22 @They are an example of that true saying, The dog has gone back to the food it had put out, and the pig which had been washed to its rolling in the dirty earth.

bbe@2Peter:3:2 @So that you may keep in mind the words of the holy prophets in the past, and the law of the Lord and Saviour which was given to you by his Apostles.

bbe@2Peter:3:3 @Having first of all the knowledge that in the last days there will be men who, ruled by their evil desires, will make sport of holy things,

bbe@2Peter:3:4 @Saying, Where is the hope of his coming? From the death of the fathers till now everything has gone on as it was from the making of the world.

bbe@2Peter:3:5 @But in taking this view they put out of their minds the memory that in the old days there was a heaven, and an earth lifted out of the water and circled by water, by the word of God;

bbe@2Peter:3:6 @And that the world which then was came to an end through the overflowing of the waters.

bbe@2Peter:3:7 @But the present heaven and the present earth have been kept for destruction by fire, which is waiting for them on the day of the judging and destruction of evil men.

bbe@2Peter:3:9 @The Lord is not slow in keeping his word, as he seems to some, but he is waiting in mercy for you, not desiring the destruction of any, but that all may be turned from their evil ways.

bbe@2Peter:3:10 @But the day of the Lord will come like a thief; and in that day the heavens will be rolled up with a great noise, and the substance of the earth will be changed by violent heat, and the world and everything in it will be burned up

bbe@2Peter:3:11 @Seeing then that all these things are coming to such an end, what sort of persons is it right for you to be, in all holy behaviour and righteousness,

bbe@2Peter:3:12 @Looking for and truly desiring the coming of the day of God, when the heavens will come to an end through fire, and the substance of the earth will be changed by the great heat?

bbe@2Peter:3:13 @But having faith in his word, we are looking for a new heaven and a new earth, which will be the resting-place of righteousness.

bbe@2Peter:3:15 @And be certain that the long waiting of the Lord is for salvation; even as our brother Paul has said in his letters to you, from the wisdom which was given to him;

bbe@2Peter:3:16 @And as he said in all his letters, which had to do with these things; in which are some hard sayings, so that, like the rest of the holy Writings, they are twisted by those who are uncertain and without knowledge, to the destruction of their souls.

bbe@2Peter:3:17 @For this reason, my loved ones, having knowledge of these things before they take place, take care that you are not turned away by the error of the uncontrolled, so falling from your true faith.

bbe@2Peter:3:18 @But be increased in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. May he have glory now and for ever. So be it.

bbe@1John:1:1 @That which was from the first, which has come to our ears, and which we have seen with our eyes, looking on it and touching it with our hands, about the Word of life

bbe@1John:1:2 @(And the life was made clear to us, and we have seen it and are witnessing to it and giving you word of that eternal life which was with the Father and was seen by us);

bbe@1John:1:3 @We give you word of all we have seen and everything which has come to our ears, so that you may be united with us; and we are united with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ:

bbe@1John:1:7 @But if we are walking in the light, as he is in the light, we are all united with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son makes us clean from all sin.

bbe@1John:1:9 @If we say openly that we have done wrong, he is upright and true to his word, giving us forgiveness of sins and making us clean from all evil.

bbe@1John:2:2 @He is the offering for our sins; and not for ours only, but for all the world.

bbe@1John:2:3 @And by this we may be certain that we have knowledge of him, if we keep his laws.

bbe@1John:2:4 @The man who says, I have knowledge of him, and does not keep his laws, is false, and there is nothing true in him:

bbe@1John:2:5 @But in every man who keeps his word, the love of God is made complete. By this we may be certain that we are in him:

bbe@1John:2:10 @He who has love for his brother is in the light, and there is no cause of error in him.

bbe@1John:2:11 @But he who has hate for his brother is in the dark, walking in the dark with no knowledge of where he is going, unable to see because of the dark.

bbe@1John:2:12 @I am writing to you, my children, because you have forgiveness of sins through his name.

bbe@1John:2:13 @I am writing to you, fathers, because you have knowledge of him who was from the first. I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the Evil One. I have sent a letter to you, children, because you have knowledge of the Father.

bbe@1John:2:14 @I have sent a letter to you, fathers, because you have knowledge of him who was from the first. I have sent a letter to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God is in you, and because you have overcome the Evil One.

bbe@1John:2:15 @Have no love for the world or for the things which are in the world. If any man has love for the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

bbe@1John:2:16 @Because everything in the world, the desire of the flesh, the desire of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father but of the world.

bbe@1John:2:18 @Little children, it is the last hour; and as you were given word that the Antichrist would come, so now a number of Antichrists have come to you; and by this we are certain that it is the last hour.

bbe@1John:2:19 @They went out from us but they were not of us; if they had been of us they would still be with us: but they went out from us so that it might be made clear that they were not of us.

bbe@1John:2:21 @I have not sent you this letter because you have no knowledge of what is true, but because you have knowledge, and because that which is false has nothing in common with that which is true.

bbe@1John:2:26 @I am writing these things to you about those whose purpose is that you may be turned out of the true way.

bbe@1John:2:27 @As for you, the Spirit which he gave you is still in you, and you have no need of any teacher; but as his Spirit gives you teaching about all things, and is true and not false, so keep your hearts in him, through the teaching which he has given you.

bbe@1John:2:29 @If you have knowledge that he is upright, it is clear to you that everyone who does righteousness is his offspring.

bbe@1John:3:1 @See what great love the Father has given us in naming us the children of God; and such we are. For this reason the world does not see who we are, because it did not see who he was.

bbe@1John:3:2 @My loved ones, now we are children of God, and at present it is not clear what we are to be. We are certain that at his revelation we will be like him; for we will see him as he is.

bbe@1John:3:6 @Anyone who is in him does no sin; anyone who is a sinner has not seen him and has no knowledge of him.

bbe@1John:3:7 @My little children, let no man take you out of the true way: he who does righteousness is upright, even as he is upright;

bbe@1John:3:8 @The sinner is a child of the Evil One; for the Evil One has been a sinner from the first. And the Son of God was seen on earth so that he might put an end to the works of the Evil One.

bbe@1John:3:9 @Anyone who is a child of God does no sin, because he still has God's seed in him; he is not able to be a sinner, because God is his Father.

bbe@1John:3:10 @In this way it is clear who are the children of God and who are the children of the Evil One; anyone who does not do righteousness or who has no love for his brother, is not a child of God

bbe@1John:3:12 @Not being of the Evil One like Cain, who put his brother to death. And why did he put him to death? Because his works were evil and his brother's works were good.

bbe@1John:3:14 @We are conscious that we have come out of death into life because of our love for the brothers. He who has no love is still in death.

bbe@1John:3:15 @Anyone who has hate for his brother is a taker of life, and you may be certain that no taker of life has eternal life in him.

bbe@1John:3:17 @But if a man has this world's goods, and sees that his brother is in need, and keeps his heart shut against his brother, how is it possible for the love of God to be in him?

bbe@1John:3:20 @When our heart says that we have done wrong; because God is greater than our heart, and has knowledge of all things.

bbe@1John:3:23 @And this is his law, that we have faith in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love for one another, even as he said to us.

bbe@1John:4:1 @My loved ones, do not put your faith in every spirit, but put them to the test, to see if they are from God: because a great number of false prophets have gone out into the world.

bbe@1John:4:2 @By this you may have knowledge of the Spirit of God: every spirit which says that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God:

bbe@1John:4:3 @And every spirit which does not say this is not from God: this is the spirit of Antichrist, of which you have had word; and it is in the world even now.

bbe@1John:4:4 @You are of God, my little children, and you have overcome them because he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

bbe@1John:4:5 @They are of the world, so their talk is the world's talk, and the world gives ear to them.

bbe@1John:4:6 @We are of God: he who has the knowledge of God gives ear to us; he who is not of God does not give ear to us. By this we may see which is the true spirit, and which is the spirit of error.

bbe@1John:4:7 @My loved ones, let us have love for one another: because love is of God, and everyone who has love is a child of God and has knowledge of God.

bbe@1John:4:8 @He who has no love has no knowledge of God, because God is love.

bbe@1John:4:9 @And the love of God was made clear to us when he sent his only Son into the world so that we might have life through him.

bbe@1John:4:10 @And this is love, not that we had love for God, but that he had love for us, and sent his Son to be an offering for our sins

bbe@1John:4:14 @And we have seen and give witness that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.

bbe@1John:4:15 @Everyone who says openly that Jesus is the Son of God, has God in him and is in God.

bbe@1John:4:17 @In this way love is made complete in us, so that we may be without fear on the day of judging, because as he is, so are we in this world.

bbe@1John:4:19 @We have the power of loving, because he first had love for us.

bbe@1John:5:1 @Everyone who has faith that Jesus is the Christ is a child of God: and everyone who has love for the Father has love for his child.

bbe@1John:5:2 @In this way, we are certain that we have love for the children of God, when we have love for God and keep his laws.

bbe@1John:5:5 @Who is able to overcome the world but the man who has faith that Jesus is the Son of God?

bbe@1John:5:9 @If we take the witness of men to be true, the witness of God is greater: because this is the witness which God has given about his Son.

bbe@1John:5:10 @He who has faith in the Son of God has the witness in himself: he who has not faith in God makes him false, because he has not faith in the witness which God has given about his Son.

bbe@1John:5:12 @He who has the Son has the life; he who has not the Son of God has not the life

bbe@1John:5:13 @I have put these things in writing for you who have faith in the name of the Son of God, so that you may be certain that you have eternal life.

bbe@1John:5:17 @All evil-doing is sin: but death is not the punishment for every sort of sin.

bbe@1John:5:18 @We are certain that one who is a child of God will do no sin, but the Son of God keeps him so that he is not touched by the Evil One.

bbe@1John:5:19 @We are certain that we are of God, but all the world is in the power of the Evil One.

bbe@1John:5:20 @And we are certain that the Son of God has come, and has given us a clear vision, so that we may see him who is true, and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.

bbe@2John:1:1 @I, a ruler in the church, send word to the noble sister who is of God's selection, and to her children, for whom I have true love; and not only I, but all who have knowledge of what is true;

bbe@2John:1:2 @Because of this true knowledge which is in us, and will be with us for ever:

bbe@2John:1:3 @May grace, mercy, and peace be with us from God the Father, and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in all true love.

bbe@2John:1:4 @It gave me great joy to see some of your children walking in the true way, even as we were ordered to do by the Father.

bbe@2John:1:6 @And love is the keeping of his laws. This is the law which was given to you from the first, so that you might keep it.

bbe@2John:1:7 @Because a number of false teachers have gone out into the world, who do not give witness that Jesus Christ came in the flesh. Such a one is a false teacher and Antichrist.

bbe@2John:1:8 @Keep watch over yourselves, so that you do not make our work of no effect, but may get your full reward.

bbe@2John:1:9 @Anyone who goes on and does not keep to the teaching of Christ, has not God: he who keeps to the teaching has the Father and the Son.

bbe@2John:1:10 @If anyone comes to you not having this teaching, do not take him into your house or give him words of love:

bbe@2John:1:11 @For he who gives him words of love has a part in his evil works.

bbe@2John:1:13 @The children of your noble sister, who is of God's selection, send you their love.

bbe@3John:1:3 @For it gave me great joy when some of the brothers came and gave witness that you had the true faith and were walking in the true way.

bbe@3John:1:6 @Who have given witness to the church of your love for them: and you will do well to send them on their way well cared for, as is right for servants of God:

bbe@3John:1:7 @For they went out for love of the Name, taking nothing from the Gentiles.

bbe@3John:1:8 @So it is right for us to take in such men as guests, so that we may take our part in the work of the true faith.

bbe@3John:1:10 @So if I come, I will keep in mind the things he does, talking against us with evil words: and as if this was not enough, he does not take the brothers into his house, and those who are ready to take them in, he keeps from doing so, putting them out of the church if they do.

bbe@3John:1:11 @My loved one, do not be copying what is evil, but what is good. He who does good is of God: he who does evil has not seen God.

bbe@3John:1:12 @Demetrius has the approval of all men and of what is true: and we give the same witness, and you are certain that our witness is true.

bbe@Jude:1:1 @Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ and the brother of James, to those of God's selection who have been made holy by God the Father and are kept safe for Jesus Christ:

bbe@Jude:1:3 @My loved ones, while my thoughts were full of a letter which I was going to send you about our common salvation, it was necessary for me to send you one requesting you with all my heart to go on fighting strongly for the faith which has been given to the saints once and for ever.

bbe@Jude:1:4 @For certain men have come among you secretly, marked out before in the holy Writings for this evil fate, men without the fear of God, turning his grace into an unclean thing, and false to our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.

bbe@Jude:1:5 @Now it is my purpose to put you in mind, though you once had knowledge of all these things, of how the Lord, having taken a people safely out of Egypt, later sent destruction on those who had no faith;

bbe@Jude:1:6 @And the angels who did not keep to their kingdom but went out from the place which was theirs, he has put in eternal chains and in dark night till the great day of the judging.

bbe@Jude:1:7 @Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the towns near them, having like these, given themselves up to unclean desires and gone after strange flesh, have been made an example, undergoing the punishment of eternal fire.

bbe@Jude:1:8 @In the same way these dreamers make the flesh unclean, having no respect for authorities, and say evil of rulers.

bbe@Jude:1:9 @Now when Michael, one of the chief angels, was fighting against the Evil One for the body of Moses, fearing to make use of violent words against him, he only said, May the Lord be your judge.

bbe@Jude:1:10 @But these men say evil about such things as they have no knowledge of; and the things of which they have natural knowledge, like beasts without reason, are the cause of their destruction.

bbe@Jude:1:11 @A curse on them! They have gone in the way of Cain, running uncontrolled into the error of Balaam for reward, and have come to destruction by saying evil against the Lord, like Korah.

bbe@Jude:1:12 @These men are unseen rocks at your love-feasts, when they take part in them with you, keepers of sheep who without fear take the food of the sheep; clouds without water rushing before the wind, wasted trees without fruit, twice dead, pulled up by the roots,

bbe@Jude:1:13 @Violent waves of the sea, streaming with their shame, wandering stars for whom the darkest night is kept in store for ever.

bbe@Jude:1:14 @The prophet Enoch, who was the seventh after Adam, said of these men, The Lord came with tens of thousands of his saints,

bbe@Jude:1:15 @To be the judge of all, and to give a decision against all those whose lives are unpleasing to him, because of the evil acts which they have done, and because of all the hard things which sinners without fear of God have said against him.

bbe@Jude:1:16 @These are the men who make trouble, ever desiring change, going after evil pleasures, using high-sounding words, respecting men's position in the hope of reward.

bbe@Jude:1:17 @But you, my loved ones, keep in memory the words which were said before by the Apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ,

bbe@Jude:1:18 @How they said to you, In the last days there will be men who, guided by their evil desires, will make sport of holy things.

bbe@Jude:1:21 @Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for life eternal through the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ.

bbe@Jude:1:23 @And to some give salvation, pulling them out of the fire; and on some have mercy with fear, hating even the clothing which is made unclean by the flesh.

bbe@Revelation:1:1 @The Revelation of Jesus Christ which God gave him so that his servants might have knowledge of the things which will quickly take place: and he sent and made it clear by his angel to his servant John;
