isv@Matthew:22:29 @ Jesus answered them,“You are mistaken because you don't know the Scriptures or God's power.

isv@Matthew:22:33 @ When the crowds heard this, they were amazed at his teaching.

isv@Matthew:22:41 @ While the Pharisees were still gathered, Jesus asked them,

isv@Matthew:22:46 @ No one could answer him at all, and from that day on no one dared to ask him another question.

isv@Matthew:23:16 @ “How terrible it will be for you, blind guides! You say, ‘Whoever swears an oath by the sanctuary is excused,but whoever swears an oath by the gold of the sanctuary must keep his oath.’

isv@Matthew:23:18 @ Again you say,‘Whoever swears an oath by the altar is excused,but whoever swears by the gift that is on it must keep his oath.’

isv@Matthew:23:20 @ Therefore, the one who swears an oath by the altar swears by it and by everything on it.

isv@Matthew:23:21 @ The one who swears an oath by the sanctuary swears by it and by the one who lives there.

isv@Matthew:23:22 @ And the one who swears an oath by heaven swears by God's throne and by the one who sits on it.

isv@Matthew:23:30 @ Then you say, ‘If we had been living in the days of our ancestors, we would have had no part with them in sheddingthe blood of the prophets.’

isv@Matthew:23:35 @ As a result, you will be held accountable forall the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of the righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the sanctuary and the altar.

isv@Matthew:24:4 @ Jesus answered them,“See to it that no one deceives you.

isv@Matthew:24:27 @ For just as the lightning comes from the east and flashes as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.

isv@Matthew:24:29 @ “Immediately after the sufferingof those days,‘The sun will be darkened,the moon will not give its light, the stars will fall from the sky,and the powers of heaven will be shaken loose.’

isv@Matthew:24:30 @ Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and all the tribes of the earth will mourn when they see ‘the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven’ with power and great glory.

isv@Matthew:24:38 @ In those days before the flood, peoplewere eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage right up to the day when Noah went into the ark.

isv@Matthew:24:39 @ They were unaware of what was happeninguntil the flood came and swept all of them away. That's how it will be when the Son of Man comes.

isv@Matthew:24:43 @ But be sure of this: if the owner of the house had known at what watch of the night the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and not allowed his house to be broken into.

isv@Matthew:24:51 @ Then his masterwill punish him severelyand assign him a place with the hypocrites. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

isv@Matthew:25:1 @ “At that time, the kingdom of heaven will be compared to ten bridesmaidswho took their oil lamps and went out to meet the groom.

isv@Matthew:25:2 @ Now five of them were foolish, and five were wise.

isv@Matthew:25:10 @ “While they were away buying it, the groom arrived. Those who were ready went with him into the wedding banquet, and the door was closed.

isv@Matthew:25:15 @ To one man he gave five talents,to another two, and to another one, based on their ability. Then he went on his trip.

isv@Matthew:25:16 @ “The one who received five talents went out at once and invested them and earned five more.

isv@Matthew:25:18 @ But the one who received one talent went off, dug a hole in the ground, and hid his master's money.

isv@Matthew:25:21 @ His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and trustworthy servant! Since you have been trustworthy with a small amount, I will put you in charge of a large amount. Come and share your master's joy!’

isv@Matthew:25:23 @ His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and trustworthy servant! Since you have been trustworthy with a small amount, I will put you in charge of a large amount. Come and share your master's joy!’

isv@Matthew:25:24 @ “Then the one who had received one talent came forward and said, ‘Master, I knew that you were a hard man, harvesting where you haven't planted and gathering where you haven't scattered any seed.

isv@Matthew:25:25 @ Being afraid, I went off and hid your talent in the ground. Here, take what is yours!’

isv@Matthew:25:26 @ “His master answered him, ‘You evil and lazy servant! So you knew that I harvested where I haven't planted and gathered where I haven't scattered any seed?

isv@Matthew:25:30 @ Throw this useless servant into the outer darkness! In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’”

isv@Matthew:25:35 @ For I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat. I was thirsty, and you gave me something to drink. I was a stranger, and you welcomed me.

isv@Matthew:25:37 @ “Then the righteous will say to him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and give you something to eat, or thirsty and give you something to drink?

isv@Matthew:25:38 @ When did we see you as a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you?

isv@Matthew:25:39 @ When did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’

isv@Matthew:25:40 @ The king will answer them, ‘Truly I tell you, in that you did it for one of the least important of these my brothers, you did it for me.’

isv@Matthew:25:43 @ I was a stranger, and you didn't welcome me. I was naked, and you didn't clothe me. I was sick and in prison, and you didn't visit me.’

isv@Matthew:25:44 @ “Then they will reply, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or as a stranger or naked or sick or in prison and didn't help you?’

isv@Matthew:26:14 @ Then one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, went to the high priests

isv@Matthew:26:17 @ On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the disciples went to Jesus and said, “Where do you want us to make preparations for you to eat the Passover meal?”

isv@Matthew:26:20 @ When evening came, Jesus was sitting at the table with the twelve.

isv@Matthew:26:21 @ While they were eating, he said,“Truly I tell you, one of you is going to betray me.”

isv@Matthew:26:26 @ While they were eating, Jesus took a loaf of bread and blessed it. Then he broke it in pieces and handed it to the disciples, saying,“Take this and eat it. This is my body.”

isv@Matthew:26:30 @ After singing a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

isv@Matthew:26:32 @ However, after I have been raised, I will go to Galilee ahead of you.”

isv@Matthew:26:36 @ Then Jesus went with them to a place called Gethsemane. He said to the disciples,“Sit down here while I go over there and pray.”

isv@Matthew:26:40 @ When he went back to the disciples, he found them asleep. He said to Peter,“So, you mencouldn't stay awake with me for one hour, could you?

isv@Matthew:26:41 @ All of youmust stay awake and pray that you won't come into temptation. The spirit is indeed willing, but the flesh is weak.”

isv@Matthew:26:42 @ He went away a second time and prayed,“My Father, if this cannot go away unless I drink it, let your will be done.”

isv@Matthew:26:43 @ Again he came back and found them asleep, for their eyes were very heavy.

isv@Matthew:26:44 @ After leaving them again, he went away and prayed again for the third time, saying the same thing.

isv@Matthew:26:45 @ Then he came back to the disciples and said to them,“You might as well keep on sleeping and resting.Look! The time is near for the Son of Man to be betrayed into the hands of sinners.

isv@Matthew:26:47 @ Just then, while Jesus was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, arrived. A large crowd armed with swords and clubs was with him. They were from the high priests and elders of the people.

isv@Matthew:26:49 @ So Judas immediately went up to Jesus and said, “Hello, Rabbi!” and kissed him tenderly.

isv@Matthew:26:53 @ Don't you think that I could call on my Father, and he would send me more than twelve legions of angels now?

isv@Matthew:26:55 @ At this point Jesus said to the crowds,“Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest me as if I were a bandit?Day after day I sat teaching in the temple, yet you didn't arrest me.

isv@Matthew:26:58 @ Peter, however, followed him at a distance as far as the high priest's courtyard. He went inside and sat down with the servants to see how this would end.

isv@Matthew:26:59 @ Meanwhile, the high priests and the whole Council were looking for false testimony against Jesus in order to have him put to death.

isv@Matthew:26:62 @ At this, the high priest stood up and said to Jesus, “Don't you have any answer to what these men are testifying against you?”

isv@Matthew:26:64 @ Jesus said to him,“You have said so. Nevertheless I tell you,from now on‘you will see ‘the Son of Manseated at the right hand of Power’and‘coming on the clouds of heaven.’”

isv@Matthew:26:65 @ Then the high priest tore his robes and said, “He has blasphemed! Why do we still need witnesses? Look, you yourselves have just heard the blasphemy!

isv@Matthew:26:69 @ Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard when a servant girl came up to him and said, “You, too, were with Jesus the Galilean.”

isv@Matthew:26:71 @ As he went out to the gateway, another woman saw him and said to those who were there, “This man was with Jesus from Nazareth.”

isv@Matthew:26:73 @ After a little while the people who were standing there came up and said to Peter, “Obviously you're also one of them, because your accent gives you away.”

isv@Matthew:26:74 @ Then he began to invoke a divine curse and to swear with an oath, “I don't know the man!” Just then a rooster crowed.

isv@Matthew:26:75 @ Peter remembered the words of Jesus when he said,“Before a rooster crows, you will deny me three times.” Then he went outside and cried bitterly.

isv@Matthew:27:4 @ saying, “I have sinned by betraying innocent blood.”But they said, “What do we care? See to that yourself.”

isv@Matthew:27:5 @ Then he flung the pieces of silver into the sanctuary and went outside. Then he went away and hanged himself.

isv@Matthew:27:16 @ At that time they were holding a notorious prisoner named Barabbas.

isv@Matthew:27:25 @ All the people answered, “Let his blood be on us and our children!”

isv@Matthew:27:32 @ As they were leaving, they found a man from Cyrene named Simon, whom they forced to carry Jesus’ cross.

isv@Matthew:27:38 @ At that time two bandits were crucified with him, one on his right and the other on his left.

isv@Matthew:27:40 @ and saying, “You who were going to destroy the sanctuary and rebuild it in three days—save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross!”

isv@Matthew:27:41 @ In the same way the high priests, along with the scribes and elders, were also making fun of him. They kept saying,

isv@Matthew:27:42 @ “He saved others but can't save himself! He is the king of Israel. Let him come down from the cross now, and we will believe in him.

isv@Matthew:27:44 @ Even the bandits who were crucified with him kept insulting him in the same way.

isv@Matthew:27:51 @ Suddenly the curtain in the sanctuary was torn in two from top to bottom, the earth shook, the rocks were split open,

isv@Matthew:27:52 @ the tombs were opened, and the bodies of many saints who had died were raised.

isv@Matthew:27:53 @ After his resurrection, they came out of their tombs and went into the Holy City and appeared to many people.

isv@Matthew:27:54 @ When the centurion and those guarding Jesus with him saw the earthquake and the other things that were taking place, they were terrified and said, “This man certainly was the Son of God!”

isv@Matthew:27:55 @ Now many women were also there, watching from a distance. They had accompanied Jesus from Galilee and had ministered to him.

isv@Matthew:27:56 @ Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of Zebedee's sons.

isv@Matthew:27:58 @ He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus, and Pilate ordered it to be handed over.

isv@Matthew:27:60 @ Then he placed it in his own new tomb, which he had cut out of the rock. After rolling a large stone across the door of the tomb, he went away.

isv@Matthew:27:63 @ and said, “Sir, we remember how that impostor said while he was still alive,‘After three days I will be raised.’

isv@Matthew:27:66 @ So they went and secured the tomb by putting a seal on the stone in the presence of the guards.

isv@Matthew:28:1 @ After the Sabbath, around dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to take a look at the tomb.

isv@Matthew:28:2 @ Suddenly there was a powerful earthquake. For an angel of the Lord had come down from heaven, stepped forward, rolled the stone away, and was sitting on it.

isv@Matthew:28:3 @ His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were as white as snow.

isv@Matthew:28:4 @ Because they were so afraid of him, the guards shook and became like dead men.

isv@Matthew:28:9 @ Suddenly Jesus met them and said,“Greetings!” They went up to him, took hold of his feet, and worshiped him.

isv@Matthew:28:11 @ While the women were on their way, some of the guards went into the city and told the high priests all that had happened.

isv@Matthew:28:13 @ They said, “Say that his disciples came at night and stole him while you were sleeping.

isv@Matthew:28:14 @ If this is reported to the governor, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.”

isv@Matthew:28:15 @ So the soldiers took the money and did as they were instructed. This story has been spread among the Jews to this day.

isv@Matthew:28:16 @ The eleven disciples went into Galilee to the hillside to which Jesus had directed them.

isv@Mark:1:5 @ People from the whole Judean countryside and all the people of Jerusalem were flocking to him, being baptized by him while they confessed their sins.

isv@Mark:1:13 @ He was in the wilderness for forty days being tempted by Satan. He was with the wild animals, and the angels were ministering to him.

isv@Mark:1:14 @ Now after John had been arrested, Jesus went to Galilee and proclaimed the gospel about the kingdom of God.

isv@Mark:1:16 @ While Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew. They were throwing a net into the sea because they were fishermen.

isv@Mark:1:18 @ So immediately they left their nets and followed him.

isv@Mark:1:19 @ Going on a little farther he saw James, the son of Zebedee, and his brother John. They were in a boat repairing their nets.

isv@Mark:1:20 @ He immediately called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men and followed him.

isv@Mark:1:21 @ Then they went to Capernaum. As soon as it was the Sabbath, Jesus went into the synagogue and began to teach.

isv@Mark:1:22 @ The people were utterly amazed at his teaching, for he was teaching them like one with authority and not like their scribes.

isv@Mark:1:27 @ All the people were so stunned that they kept saying to each other, “What is this? A new teaching with authority! He tells even the unclean spirits what to do, and they obey him!”

isv@Mark:1:29 @ After they left the synagogue, they went directly to the house of Simon and Andrew, along with James and John.

isv@Mark:1:31 @ He went up to her, took her by the hand, and helped her up. The fever left her, and she began serving them.

isv@Mark:1:32 @ When evening came, after the sun had set, people started bringing to him all those who were sick or possessed by demons.

isv@Mark:1:34 @ He healed many who were sick with various diseases and drove out many demons. However, he wouldn't allow the demons to speak because they knew who he was.

isv@Mark:1:35 @ In the morning, while it was still very dark, Jesus got up and went to a deserted place and prayed there.

isv@Mark:1:39 @ So he went throughout Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and driving out demons.

isv@Mark:2:6 @ Now some scribes were sitting there, arguing among themselves,

isv@Mark:2:8 @ At once, Jesus knew in his spirit what they were saying to themselves. He said to them,“Why are you arguing about such things among yourselves?

isv@Mark:2:12 @ So the man got up, immediately picked up his cot, and went out before all of them.As a result, all of the people were amazed and began to glorify God, saying, “We have never seen anything like this!”

isv@Mark:2:13 @ Jesus went out again beside the sea. The whole crowd kept coming to him, and he kept teaching them.

isv@Mark:2:14 @ As he was walking along, he saw Levi, the son of Alphaeus, sitting at the tax collector's desk. Jesus said to him,“Follow me!” So Levi got up and followed him.

isv@Mark:2:15 @ Later he was having dinner at Levi's house. Many tax collectors and sinners were also eating with Jesus and his disciples, for there were many who were following him.

isv@Mark:2:19 @ Jesus said to them,“The wedding guests can't fast while the groom is with them, can they? As long as they have the groom with them, they can't fast.

isv@Mark:2:25 @ He said to them,“Haven't you read what David did when he and his companions were hungry and in need?

isv@Mark:2:26 @ How was it that he went into the House of God when Abiathar was high priest and ate the Bread of the Presence, which was not lawful for anyone but the priests to eat, and gave some of it to his companions?”

isv@Mark:3:1 @ Jesus went into the synagogue again, and a man with a paralyzed hand was there.

isv@Mark:3:4 @ Then he asked them,“Is it lawful to do good or to do evil on the Sabbath, to save a life or to kill it?” But they were silent.

isv@Mark:3:6 @ Immediately the Pharisees, along with the Herodians, went out and began to plot against him to kill him.

isv@Mark:3:8 @ Jerusalem, Idumea, from across the Jordan, and from the region around Tyre and Sidon followed him. They came to him because they kept hearing about everything he was doing.

isv@Mark:3:13 @ Then Jesus went up on a hillside and called to him those whom he wanted and they came to him.

isv@Mark:3:14 @ He appointed twelve whom he called apostles to accompany him, to be sent out to preach,

isv@Mark:3:16 @ He appointed these twelve: Simon (to whom he gave the name Peter);

isv@Mark:3:20 @ Then he went home. The crowd came together again, so that Jesus and his disciples couldn't even eat.

isv@Mark:3:21 @ When his family heard about it, they went to restrain him. For they kept saying, “He's out of his mind!”

isv@Mark:3:33 @ He answered them,“Who are my mother and my brothers?”

isv@Mark:4:3 @ “Listen! A sower went out to sow.

isv@Mark:4:6 @ But when the sun came up, they were scorched. Since they did not have any roots, they dried up.

isv@Mark:4:10 @ When he was alone with his followers and the twelve, they began to ask him about the parables.

isv@Mark:4:14 @ The sower sows the word.

isv@Mark:4:19 @ but the worries of life, the deceitful pleasures of wealth, and the desires for other things come in and choke the word so that it can't produce a crop.

isv@Mark:4:24 @ He went on to say to them,“Pay attention to what you're listening to! With the measure you use,you will be measured, and still more will be given to you.

isv@Mark:4:30 @ He was also saying,“How can we show what the kingdom of God is like, or what parable can we use to describe it?

isv@Mark:4:36 @ So they left the crowd and took him along in the boat just as he was. Other boats were with him.

isv@Mark:4:38 @ But Jesus was in the back of the boat, asleep on a cushion. So they woke him up and said to him, “Teacher, don't you care that we're going to die?”

isv@Mark:4:41 @ They were overcome with fear and kept saying to one another, “Who is this man? Even the wind and the sea obey him!”

isv@Mark:5:12 @ So the demons begged him, “Send us among the pigs, so that we can go into them!”

isv@Mark:5:13 @ So he let them do this. The unclean spirits came out of the man and went into the pigs, and the herd of about 2,000 rushed down the cliff into the sea and drowned there.

isv@Mark:5:14 @ Now when those who had been taking care of the pigs ran away, they reported what had happened in the city and countryside. So the people went to see what had happened.

isv@Mark:5:15 @ When they came to Jesus and saw the man who had been possessed by the legion of demons, sitting there dressed and in his right mind, they were frightened.

isv@Mark:5:23 @ and begged him urgently, saying, “My little daughter is dying. Come and lay your hands on her so that she may get well and live.”

isv@Mark:5:24 @ So Jesus went with him. A huge crowd kept following him and jostling him.

isv@Mark:5:25 @ Now there was a woman who had been suffering from chronic bleeding for twelve years.

isv@Mark:5:28 @ For she had been saying, “If I can just touch his robe, I will get well.”

isv@Mark:5:30 @ Immediately Jesus became aware that power had gone out of him. So he turned around in the crowd and asked,“Who touched my clothes?”

isv@Mark:5:34 @ He said to her,“Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace and be healed from your illness.”

isv@Mark:5:37 @ Jesus allowed no one to go further with him except Peter, James, and John, the brother of James.

isv@Mark:5:38 @ When they came to the home of the synagogue leader, Jesus saw mass confusion. People were crying and sobbing loudly.

isv@Mark:5:40 @ They laughed and laughed at him. But he forced all of them outside. Then he took the child's father and mother, along with the men who were with him, and went into the room where the child was.

isv@Mark:5:42 @ The little girl got up at once and started to walk, for she was twelve years old. Instantly they were overcome with astonishment.

isv@Mark:6:1 @ Jesus left that place and went back to his hometown, and his disciples followed him.

isv@Mark:6:2 @ When the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were utterly amazed. They said, “Where did this man get all these things? What is this wisdom that has been given to him? What great miracles are being done by his hands!

isv@Mark:6:3 @ This is the builder, the son of Mary, and the brother of James, Joseph, Judas, and Simon, isn't it? His sisters are here with us, aren't they?” And they were offended by him.

isv@Mark:6:6 @ He was utterly amazed at their unbelief. Then he went around to the villages and continued teaching.

isv@Mark:6:7 @ He called the twelve and began to send them out two by two, giving them authority over unclean spirits.

isv@Mark:6:9 @ They could wear sandals but not take along an extra shirt.

isv@Mark:6:11 @ If any place will not welcome you and thepeoplerefuse to listen to you, when you leave, shake its dust off your feet as a testimony against them.”

isv@Mark:6:12 @ So they went and preached that people should repent.

isv@Mark:6:13 @ They also kept driving out many demons and pouring oil on many who were sick and healing them.

isv@Mark:6:14 @ King Herod heard about this, because Jesus’ name had become well-known. He was saying, “John the Baptist has been raised from the dead! That's why these miracles are at work in him.”

isv@Mark:6:15 @ Others were saying, “He is Elijah.” Still others were saying, “He is a prophet like one of the other prophets.”

isv@Mark:6:24 @ So she went out and said to her mother, “What should I ask for?”Her mother replied, “The head of John the Baptist.”

isv@Mark:6:27 @ So without delay the king sent a soldier and ordered him to bring John's head. The soldier went and beheaded him in prison.

isv@Mark:6:31 @ He said to them,“Come away to a deserted place all by yourselves and rest for a while.” For so many people were coming and going that they didn't even have time to eat.

isv@Mark:6:32 @ So they went away in a boat to a deserted place by themselves.

isv@Mark:6:34 @ When he got out of the boat, he saw a large crowd. He had compassion for them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd, and he began to teach them many things.

isv@Mark:6:37 @ But he answered them,“You give them something to eat.”They said to him, “Should we go and buy 200 denarii worth of bread and give it to them to eat?”

isv@Mark:6:42 @ All of them ate and were filled.

isv@Mark:6:43 @ Then the disciples picked up twelve baskets full of leftover bread and fish.

isv@Mark:6:44 @ There were 5,000 men who had eaten the loaves.

isv@Mark:6:46 @ After saying goodbye to them, he went up on a hillside to pray.

isv@Mark:6:48 @ He saw that they were straining at the oars, because the wind was against them. Shortly before dawn he came to them, walking on the sea. He intended to go up right beside them,

isv@Mark:6:50 @ All of them saw him and were terrified. Immediately he said to them,“Have courage! It is I. Stop being afraid!”

isv@Mark:6:51 @ Then he got into the boat with them, and the wind stopped blowing. The disciples were utterly astounded,

isv@Mark:6:52 @ for they didn't understand the significance of the loaves. Instead, their hearts were hardened.

isv@Mark:6:56 @ Wherever he went, whether into villages, towns, or farms, people would place their sick in the marketplaces and beg him to let them touch even the tassel of his garment, and all who touched it were healed.

isv@Mark:7:2 @ They noticed that some of his disciples were eating with unclean hands, that is, without washing them.

isv@Mark:7:21 @ For it is from within, from the human heart, that evil thoughts come, as well as sexual immorality, stealing, murder,

isv@Mark:7:24 @ Jesus left that place and went to the territory of Tyre and Sidon. He went into a house, not wanting anyone to know he was there. However, it couldn't be kept a secret.

isv@Mark:7:28 @ But she answered him, “Yes, Lord. Yet even the puppies under the table eat some of the children's crumbs.”

isv@Mark:7:30 @ So she went home and found the child lying in bed, and the demon was gone.

isv@Mark:7:35 @ At once the man's ears were opened and his tongue was released, and he began to talk normally.

isv@Mark:7:37 @ They were amazed beyond measure, saying, “He does everything well! He even makes deaf people hear and mute people talk!”

isv@Mark:8:4 @ His disciples answered him, “Where could anyone get enough bread to feed these people out here in the wilderness?”

isv@Mark:8:8 @ The people ate and were filled. Then the disciples picked up the leftover pieces—seven large baskets full.

isv@Mark:8:9 @ Now about 4,000 men were there. Then he sent them on their way.

isv@Mark:8:10 @ Immediately he got into a boat with his disciples and went to the region of Dalmanutha.

isv@Mark:8:16 @ So they were discussing with one another the fact that they didn't have any bread.

isv@Mark:8:19 @ WhenI broke the five loaves for the 5,000, how many baskets did you fill with leftover pieces?”They told him, “Twelve.”

isv@Mark:8:28 @ They answered him, “Some say John the Baptist, others Elijah, and still others one of the prophets.”

isv@Mark:8:29 @ Then he began to ask them,“But who do you say I am?”Peter answered him, “You are the Christ!”

isv@Mark:9:1 @ Then he said to them,“Truly I tell you, some people standing here will not experiencedeath until they see the kingdom of God arrive with power.”

isv@Mark:9:4 @ Then Elijah appeared to them, accompanied by Moses, and they were talking with Jesus.

isv@Mark:9:5 @ Then Peter said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it's good that we're here! Let's set up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”

isv@Mark:9:6 @ (Peter didn't know how to respond, for they were terrified.)

isv@Mark:9:7 @ Then a cloud appeared and overshadowed them. A voice came out of the cloud and said, “This is my Son, whom I love. Keep on listening to him!”

isv@Mark:9:15 @ The whole crowd was very surprised to see Jesus and ran to welcome him.

isv@Mark:9:17 @ A man in the crowd answered him, “Teacher, I brought my son to you. He has a spirit that won't let him talk.

isv@Mark:9:18 @ Whenever it brings on a seizure, it throws him to the ground. Then he foams at the mouth, grinds his teeth, and becomes stiff. So I asked your disciples to drive the spirit out, but they didn't have the power.”

isv@Mark:9:28 @ When Jesus came home, his disciples asked him privately, “Why couldn't we drive it out?”

isv@Mark:9:30 @ Then they left that place and were passing through Galilee. Jesus didn't want anyone to know it,

isv@Mark:9:32 @ They didn't understand what this statement meant, and were afraid to ask him.

isv@Mark:9:33 @ Then they came to Capernaum. While Jesus was at home, he asked the disciples,“What were you arguing about on the road?”

isv@Mark:9:35 @ So he sat down and called the twelve. He told them,“If anyone wants to be first he must be last of all and servant of all.”

isv@Mark:9:37 @ “Whoever welcomes a child like this in my name welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes not me but the one who sent me.”

isv@Mark:9:38 @ John said to Jesus, “Teacher, we saw someone driving out demons in your name. We tried to stop him, because he wasn't a follower like us.”

isv@Mark:9:42 @ “If anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him if a large millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea.

isv@Mark:10:1 @ Then Jesus left that place and went into the territory of Judea on the other side of the Jordan. Crowds gathered around him as usual, and he began to teach them again as was his custom.

isv@Mark:10:3 @ He answered them,“What did Moses command you?”

isv@Mark:10:4 @ They said, “Moses allowed a man to write a certificate of divorce and to divorce her.”

isv@Mark:10:13 @ Some people were bringing little children to Jesus to have him touch them. But the disciples rebuked those who brought them.

isv@Mark:10:22 @ But the man was shocked at this statement and went away sad, because he had many possessions.

isv@Mark:10:23 @ Then Jesus looked around and said to his disciples,“How hard it will be for those who have wealth to get into the kingdom of God!”

isv@Mark:10:24 @ The disciples were startled by these words, but Jesus said to them again,“Children, how hard it is for those who trust in their wealthto get into the kingdom of God!

isv@Mark:10:26 @ They were utterly amazed and said to one another, “Then who can be saved?”

isv@Mark:10:28 @ Then Peter began to say to him, “See, we have left everything and followed you.”

isv@Mark:10:30 @ who will not receive a hundred times as much here in this world—homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, and fields, along with persecutions—as well as eternal life in the age to come.

isv@Mark:10:32 @ Jesus and his disciples were on the road going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was walking ahead of them. They were utterly amazed, and the others who followed were afraid. Once again, he took the twelve aside and began to tell them what was going to happen to him.

isv@Mark:10:33 @ “See, we are going up to Jerusalem. The Son of Man will be handed over to the high priests and the scribes, and they will condemn him to death. Then they will hand him over to the Gentiles,

isv@Mark:10:35 @ James and John, the sons of Zebedee, went to Jesus and said to him, “Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask you.”

isv@Mark:10:39 @ They told him, “We can.”Jesus said to them,“You will drink from the cup that I'm going to drink and be baptized with the baptism with which I'm going to be baptized.

isv@Mark:10:46 @ Then they came to Jericho. As Jesus, his disciples, and a large crowd were leaving Jericho, a blind beggar named Bartimaeus (the son of Timaeus) was sitting by the road.

isv@Mark:10:50 @ He threw off his coat, jumped up, and went to Jesus.

isv@Mark:10:52 @ Jesus told him,“Go. Your faith has made you well.” At once the man could see again, and he began to follow Jesus down the road.

isv@Mark:11:4 @ So they went and found the colt outside in the street tied up next to a doorway. While they were untying it,

isv@Mark:11:9 @ Those who went ahead and those who followed him were shouting, “Hosanna! How blessed is the one who comesin the name of the Lord!

isv@Mark:11:11 @ Then Jesus went into Jerusalem and into the temple and looked around at everything. Since it was already late, he went out with the twelve to Bethany.

isv@Mark:11:12 @ The next day, as they were leaving Bethany, Jesus became hungry.

isv@Mark:11:13 @ Seeing in the distance a fig tree covered with leaves, he went to see if he could find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing except leaves because it wasn't the season for figs.

isv@Mark:11:14 @ So he said to it,“May no one ever eat fruit from you again!” Now his disciples were listening to this.

isv@Mark:11:15 @ When they came to Jerusalem, he went into the temple and began to throw out those who were selling and those who were buying in the temple. He overturned the moneychangers’ tables and the chairs of those who sold doves.

isv@Mark:11:18 @ When the high priests and elders heard this, they began to look for a way to kill him. For they were afraid of him, because the whole crowd was amazed at his teaching.

isv@Mark:11:20 @ While they were walking along early in the morning, they saw the fig tree dried up to its roots.

isv@Mark:11:27 @ Then they went into Jerusalem again. While Jesus was walking in the temple, the high priests, the scribes, and the elders came to him

isv@Mark:11:29 @ Jesus said to them,“I will ask you one question.Answer me, and then I will tell you by what authority I am doing these things.

isv@Mark:11:30 @ WasJohn's authority to baptizefrom heaven or from humans? Answer me.”

isv@Mark:11:31 @ They began discussing this among themselves. “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Then why didn't you believe him?’

isv@Mark:11:32 @ But if we say, ‘From humans’…?” For they were afraid of the crowd, because everyone really thought John was a prophet.

isv@Mark:11:33 @ So they answered Jesus, “We don't know.”Then Jesus told them,“Then I won't tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”

isv@Mark:12:1 @ Then Jesus began to speak to them in parables.“A man planted a vineyard. He put a wall around it, dug a pit for the wine press, and built a watchtower. Then he leased it to tenant farmers and went abroad.

isv@Mark:12:12 @ They were trying to arrest him but were afraid of the crowd. Realizing that he had spoken this parable against them, they left him alone and went away.

isv@Mark:12:14 @ They came and said to him, “Teacher, we know that you are sincere. You don't favor any individual, for you pay no attention to external appearance. Rather, you teach the way of God truthfully. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not? Should we pay them or should we not?”

isv@Mark:12:17 @ So Jesus said to them,“Give back to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.” And they were utterly amazed at him.

isv@Mark:12:20 @ There were seven brothers. The first one married and died without having children.

isv@Mark:12:24 @ Jesus said to them,“Aren't you mistaken because you don't know the Scriptures or God's power?

isv@Mark:12:28 @ Then one of the scribes came near and heard them arguing with one another. He saw how well Jesus answered them, so he asked him, “Which commandment is the most important of them all?”

isv@Mark:12:29 @ Jesus answered,“The most important is, ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord,

isv@Mark:12:32 @ Then the scribe said to him, “Well said, Teacher! You have told the truth that ‘God is one, and there is no other besides him.’

isv@Mark:12:34 @ When Jesus saw how wisely the man answered, he told him,“You are not far from the kingdom of God.” After that, no one dared to ask him another question.

isv@Mark:12:41 @ As Jesus sat facing the offering box, he watched how the crowd was dropping their money into it. Many rich people were dropping in large amounts.

isv@Mark:13:3 @ As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives facing the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew were asking him privately,

isv@Mark:13:25 @ the stars will fall from the sky,and the powers of heaven will be shaken loose.’

isv@Mark:13:26 @ Then people will see ‘the Son of Man coming in clouds’ with great power and glory.

isv@Mark:13:34 @ “It's like a man who went on a trip. As he left home, he put his servants in charge, each with his own work, and he ordered the doorkeeper to be alert.

isv@Mark:14:1 @ Now it was two days before the Passover and the Festival of Unleavened Bread. So the high priests and the scribes were looking for a way to arrest Jesus secretly and to have him put to death.

isv@Mark:14:4 @ Some who were there said to one another in irritation, “Why was the perfume wasted like this?

isv@Mark:14:10 @ Then Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went to the high priests to betray Jesus to them.

isv@Mark:14:11 @ When they heard this, they were delighted and promised to give him money. So he began to look for a good opportunity to betray him.

isv@Mark:14:16 @ So the disciples left and went into the city. They found everything just as Jesus had told them, and they prepared the Passover meal.

isv@Mark:14:17 @ When evening came, Jesus arrived with the twelve.

isv@Mark:14:18 @ While they were at the table eating, Jesus said,“Truly I tell you, one of you is going to betray me, one who is eating with me.”

isv@Mark:14:20 @ He said to them,“It's one of you twelve, the one who is dipping his bread into the bowl with me.

isv@Mark:14:22 @ While they were eating, Jesus took a loaf of bread and blessed it. Then he broke it in pieces and handed it to them, saying,“Take some. This is my body.”

isv@Mark:14:26 @ After singing a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

isv@Mark:14:28 @ However, after I have been raised, I will go to Galilee ahead of you.”

isv@Mark:14:35 @ Going on a little farther, he fell to the ground and kept praying that if it were possible the hour might pass from him.

isv@Mark:14:37 @ When he went back, he found them asleep. He said to Peter,“Simon, are you asleep? You couldn't stay awake for one hour, could you?

isv@Mark:14:38 @ All of youmust stay awake and pray that you won't come into temptation. The spirit is indeed willing, but the flesh is weak.”

isv@Mark:14:39 @ He went away again and prayed the same prayer as before.

isv@Mark:14:40 @ Again he came back and found them asleep, for their eyes were very heavy. They didn't even know what they should say to him.

isv@Mark:14:41 @ He came back a third time and said to them,“You might as well keep on sleeping and resting.Enough of that! The time has come. Look! The Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners.

isv@Mark:14:43 @ Just then, while Jesus was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, arrived. A crowd armed with swords and clubs was with him. They were from the high priests, the scribes, and the elders.

isv@Mark:14:45 @ So Judas immediately went up to Jesus and said, “Rabbi,”, and kissed him tenderly.

isv@Mark:14:48 @ Jesus said to them,“Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest me as if I were a bandit?

isv@Mark:14:51 @ A certain young man was following Jesus. He was wearing nothing but a linen sheet. They grabbed him,

isv@Mark:14:54 @ Peter followed him at a distance as far as the high priest's courtyard. He was sitting with the servants and warming himself at the fire.

isv@Mark:14:55 @ Meanwhile, the high priests and the whole Council were looking for some testimony against Jesus in order to have him put to death, but they couldn't find any.

isv@Mark:14:58 @ “We ourselves heard him say,‘I will destroy this sanctuary made by humanhands, and in three days I will build another one not made by humanhands.’”

isv@Mark:14:60 @ Then the high priest stood up before them and asked Jesus, “Don't you have any answer to what these men are testifying against you?”

isv@Mark:14:61 @ But he kept silent and didn't answer at all. The high priest asked him again, “Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?”

isv@Mark:14:62 @ Jesus said,“I am. And‘you will see the Son of Manseated at the right hand of the Power’and‘coming with the clouds of heaven.’”

isv@Mark:14:63 @ Then the high priest tore his clothes and said, “Why do we still need witnesses?

isv@Mark:14:67 @ When she saw Peter warming himself, she glared at him and said, “You, too, were with Jesus from Nazareth.”

isv@Mark:14:68 @ But he denied it, saying, “I don't know or understand what you're talking about.” Then he went out into the entryway. Just then a rooster crowed.

isv@Mark:14:69 @ The servant girl saw him and again said to those who were standing around, “This man is one of them!”

isv@Mark:14:70 @ Again he denied it.After a little while the people who were standing there began to say to Peter again, “Obviously you're one of them, because you are a Galilean!”

isv@Mark:14:71 @ Then he began to invoke a divine curse and to swear with an oath, “I don't know this man you're talking about!”

isv@Mark:14:72 @ Just then a rooster crowed a second time.Peter remembered that Jesus said to him,“Before a rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.” Then he broke down and cried.

isv@Mark:15:2 @ Pilate asked him, “Are you the king of the Jews?”Jesus answered him,“You say so.”

isv@Mark:15:4 @ So Pilate asked him again, “Don't you have any answer? Look how many accusations they're bringing against you!”

isv@Mark:15:5 @ But Jesus no longer answered anything, so that Pilate was astonished.

isv@Mark:15:9 @ Pilate answered them, “Do you want me to release the king of the Jews for you?”

isv@Mark:15:29 @ Those who passed by kept insulting him, shaking their heads, and saying, “Ha! You who were going to destroy the sanctuary and rebuild it in three days—

isv@Mark:15:31 @ In the same way the high priests, along with the scribes, were also making fun of him among themselves. They kept saying, “He saved others but can't save himself!

isv@Mark:15:32 @ Let the Christ, the king of Israel, come down from the cross now so that we may see it and believe.” Even the men who were crucified with him kept insulting him.

isv@Mark:15:33 @ At twelve noon, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon.

isv@Mark:15:40 @ Now there were women watching from a distance. Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of young James and Joseph, and Salome.

isv@Mark:15:41 @ They used to accompany him and care for him while he was in Galilee. Many other women who had come up to Jerusalem with him were there, too.

isv@Mark:15:43 @ Joseph of Arimathea, a highly respected member of the Council, who was waiting for the kingdom of God, went boldly to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.

isv@Mark:16:2 @ Very early on the first day of the week, when the sun had just come up, they were going to the tomb.

isv@Mark:16:5 @ As they went into the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were utterly astonished.

isv@Mark:16:8 @ So they left the tomb and ran away, for shock and astonishment had overwhelmed them. They didn't say a thing to anyone, because they were afraid.

isv@Mark:16:9 @ After Jesus rose early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom he had driven out seven demons.

isv@Mark:16:10 @ She went and told those who had been with him and who now were grieving and crying.

isv@Mark:16:12 @ After this, he appeared in a different form to two disciples as they were walking into the country.

isv@Mark:16:13 @ They went back and told the others, who didn't believe them either.

isv@Mark:16:14 @ Finally he appeared to the eleven disciples while they were eating. He rebuked them for their unbelief and stubbornness, because they had not believed those who had seen him after he had risen.

isv@Mark:16:20 @ The disciples went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord kept working with them and confirming the message by the signs that accompanied it.

isv@Luke:1:2 @ just as they were passed down to us by those who had been eyewitnesses and servants of the word from the beginning,

isv@Luke:1:6 @ Both of them were righteous in the sight of God, and they lived blamelessly according to all of the commandments and regulations of the Lord.

isv@Luke:1:7 @ They had no children because Elizabeth was barren and because both of them were getting on in years.

isv@Luke:1:17 @ He is the one who will go before the Lord with the spirit and power of Elijah to turn the hearts of parents to their children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous, and to prepare the people to be ready for the Lord.”

isv@Luke:1:19 @ The angel answered him, “I am Gabriel! I stand in the very presence of God. I have been sent to speak to you and to tell you this good news.

isv@Luke:1:23 @ When the days of his service were over, he went home.

isv@Luke:1:35 @ The angel answered her, “The Holy Spirit will come over you, and the power of the Most High will cover you. Therefore, the child will be holy and will be called the Son of God.

isv@Luke:1:40 @ She went into Zechariah's home and greeted Elizabeth.

isv@Luke:1:51 @ He displayed his mighty power with his arm. He scattered people who were proud in mind and heart.

isv@Luke:1:52 @ He pulled powerful rulers from their thronesand lifted up humble people.

isv@Luke:1:56 @ Now Mary stayed with Elizabeth about three months and then went back home.

isv@Luke:1:59 @ On the eighth day they went to circumcise the child. They were going to name him Zechariah after his father,

isv@Luke:2:1 @ Now in those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that the whole world should be registered.

isv@Luke:2:3 @ So all the people went to their hometowns to be registered.

isv@Luke:2:4 @ Joseph, too, went up from the city of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to the city of David called Bethlehem, because he was a descendant of the household and family of David.

isv@Luke:2:5 @ He went there to be registered with Mary, who had been promised to him in marriage and was pregnant.

isv@Luke:2:6 @ While they were there, the time came for her to have her baby,

isv@Luke:2:8 @ In that region there were shepherds living in the fields, watching their flock during the night.

isv@Luke:2:9 @ An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.

isv@Luke:2:16 @ So they went quickly and found Mary and Joseph with the baby, who was lying in the manger.

isv@Luke:2:18 @ All who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds told them,

isv@Luke:2:27 @ Moved by the Spirit, he went into the temple. When the parents brought the child Jesus to do for him what was customary under the law,

isv@Luke:2:38 @ Just then she came forward and began to thank God and to speak about the child to all who were waiting for the redemption of Jerusalem.

isv@Luke:2:42 @ When he was twelve years old, they went up to the festival as usual.

isv@Luke:2:43 @ When the days of the festival were over, they left for home. The young man Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem, but his parents did not know it.

isv@Luke:2:47 @ All who heard him were amazed at his intelligence and his answers.

isv@Luke:2:48 @ When his parents saw him, they were shocked. His mother asked him, “Son, why have you treated us like this? Your father and I have been worried sick looking for you!”

isv@Luke:2:49 @ He said to them,“Why were you looking for me? Didn't you know that I had to be in my Father's house?”

isv@Luke:2:51 @ Then he went down with them and returned to Nazareth; and he remained in submission to them. His mother continued to treasure all these things in her heart.

isv@Luke:3:3 @ John went into all the region around the Jordan, proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins,

isv@Luke:3:7 @ John would say to the crowds that were coming out to be baptized by him, “You children of serpents! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?

isv@Luke:3:8 @ Produce fruit that is consistent with repentance! Don't begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham for our forefather.’ For I tell you that God can raise up descendants for Abraham from these stones!

isv@Luke:3:10 @ The crowds kept asking him, “What, then, should we do?”

isv@Luke:3:11 @ He answered them, “The person who has two coats must share with the one who doesn't have any, and the person who has food must do the same.”

isv@Luke:3:12 @ Even some tax collectors came to be baptized. They asked him, “Teacher, what should we do?”

isv@Luke:3:14 @ Even some soldiers were asking him, “And what should we do?”He told them, “Never extort money from anyone by threats or blackmail, and be satisfied with your pay.”

isv@Luke:3:15 @ Now the people were filled with expectation, and all of them were wondering if John was perhaps the Christ.

isv@Luke:4:2 @ where he was being tempted by the devil for forty days. During those days he ate nothing at all, and when they were over he was hungry.

isv@Luke:4:4 @ Jesus answered him,“It is written,‘One must not live on bread alone,but on every word of God.’”

isv@Luke:4:5 @ The devil also took him to a high place and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in an instant.

isv@Luke:4:8 @ But Jesus answered him,“It is written,‘You must worship the Lord your Godand serve only him.’”

isv@Luke:4:12 @ Jesus answered him,“It has been said,‘You must not tempt the Lord your God.’”

isv@Luke:4:14 @ Then Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Holy Spirit. Meanwhile, the news about him spread throughout the surrounding country.

isv@Luke:4:16 @ Then Jesus came to Nazareth, where he had been raised. As was his custom, he went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day. When he stood up to read,

isv@Luke:4:20 @ Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant, and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fixed on him.

isv@Luke:4:22 @ All the people began to speak well of him and to wonder at the gracious words that flowed from his mouth. They said, “This is Joseph's son, isn't it?”

isv@Luke:4:23 @ So he said to them,“You will probably quote this proverb to me, ‘Doctor, heal yourself! Do all the things here in your hometown that we hear you did in Capernaum.’”

isv@Luke:4:25 @ In truth I tell you that there were many widows in Israel in Elijah's time, when the heaven was closed for three years and six months and there was a severe famine everywhere in the land.

isv@Luke:4:27 @ There were also many lepers in Israel in the prophet Elisha's time, yet not one of them was cleansed except Naaman the Syrian.”

isv@Luke:4:30 @ But he walked right through the middle of them and went away.

isv@Luke:4:31 @ Then Jesus went down to Capernaum, a city in Galilee, and began teaching the people on the Sabbath.

isv@Luke:4:32 @ They were utterly amazed at his teaching, because his message was spoken with authority.

isv@Luke:4:36 @ Amazement came on all of them, and they kept saying to one another, “What kind of statement is this? For with authority and power he tells the unclean spirits what to do, and they come out!”

isv@Luke:4:38 @ Then Jesus got up to leave the synagogue and went into Simon's house. Now Simon's mother-in-law was sick with a high fever, so they asked Jesus about her.

isv@Luke:4:42 @ At daybreak he left and went to a deserted place, while the crowds kept looking for him. When they came to him, they tried to keep him from leaving them.

isv@Luke:5:2 @ He saw two boats lying on the shore, but the fishermen had stepped out of them and were washing their nets.

isv@Luke:5:4 @ When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon,“Push out into deep water, and lower your nets for a catch.”

isv@Luke:5:5 @ Simon answered, “Master, we have worked hard all night and caught nothing. But if you say so, I'll lower the nets.”

isv@Luke:5:9 @ For Simon and all the people who were with him were amazed at the number of fish they had caught,

isv@Luke:5:10 @ and so were James and John, Zebedee's sons and Simon's partners.Then Jesus said to Simon,“Stop being afraid. From now on you will be catching people.”

isv@Luke:5:11 @ So when they brought the boats to shore, they left everything and followed Jesus.

isv@Luke:5:16 @ However, he continued his habit of retiring to deserted places and praying.

isv@Luke:5:17 @ One day as Jesus was teaching, some Pharisees and teachers of the law happened to be sitting near by. The people had come from every village in Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem. The power of the Lord was present to heal them.

isv@Luke:5:18 @ Some men were bringing a paralyzed man on a stretcher. They were trying to take him into the house and place him in front of Jesus.

isv@Luke:5:19 @ When they couldn't find a way to get him in because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and let him down on his stretcher through the tiles into the middle of the room, right in front of Jesus.

isv@Luke:5:22 @ Because Jesus knew that they were arguing, he said to them,“Why are you arguing about this among yourselves?

isv@Luke:5:25 @ So the man immediately stood up in front of them and picked up what he had been lying on. Then he went home, praising God.

isv@Luke:5:26 @ Amazement seized all the people, and they began to praise God. They were filled with fear and declared, “We have seen wonderful things today!”

isv@Luke:5:27 @ After that, Jesus went out and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax collector's desk. He said to him,“Follow me!”

isv@Luke:5:28 @ So Levi left everything behind, got up, and followed him.

isv@Luke:5:29 @ Then Levi gave a large banquet at his home for Jesus. A large crowd of tax collectors and others were eating with them.

isv@Luke:5:31 @ But Jesus answered them,“Healthy people don't need a physician, but sick people do.

isv@Luke:5:34 @ But Jesus said to them,“You can't force the wedding guests to fast while the groom is still with them, can you?

isv@Luke:6:1 @ Once, on the second Sabbath after the first, Jesus was walking through some grainfields. His disciples were picking the heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands, and eating them.

isv@Luke:6:3 @ Jesus answered them,“Haven't you read what David did when he and his companions became hungry?

isv@Luke:6:4 @ How was it that he went into the house of God and took and ate the Bread of the Presence, which was not lawful for anyone but the priests to eat, and gave some of it to his companions?”

isv@Luke:6:6 @ Once, on another Sabbath, Jesus went into a synagogue and began teaching. A man whose right hand was paralyzed was there.

isv@Luke:6:7 @ The scribes and the Pharisees were watching Jesus closely to see whether he would heal on the Sabbath, in order to find a way of accusing him of doing something wrong.

isv@Luke:6:8 @ But Jesus knew what they were thinking. So he said to the man with the paralyzed hand,“Get up, and stand in the middle of the synagogue.” So he got up and stood there.

isv@Luke:6:11 @ The others were filled with fury and began to discuss with each other what they could do to Jesus.

isv@Luke:6:12 @ Now it was in those days that Jesus went to a mountain to pray, and he spent the whole night in prayer to God.

isv@Luke:6:13 @ When daylight came, he called his disciples and chose twelve of them, whom he also called apostles:

isv@Luke:6:18 @ They had come to hear him and to be healed of their diseases. Even those who were being tormented by unclean spirits were being healed.

isv@Luke:6:19 @ The entire crowd was trying to touch him, because power was coming out from him and healing all of them.

isv@Luke:6:29 @ If someone strikes you on the cheek, offer him the other one as well, and if someone takes your coat, don't keep back your shirt, either.

isv@Luke:7:1 @ After Jesus had finished saying all these things in the hearing of the people, he went to Capernaum.

isv@Luke:7:4 @ So they went to Jesus and begged him repeatedly, “He deserves to have this done for him,

isv@Luke:7:6 @ So Jesus went with them. He was not far from the house when the centurion sent friends to tell Jesus, “Sir, stop troubling yourself. For I am not worthy to have you come under my roof.

isv@Luke:7:11 @ Soon afterwards, Jesus went to a city called Nain. His disciples and a large crowd were going along with him.

isv@Luke:7:14 @ Then he went up and touched the open coffin, and the men who were carrying it stopped. He said,“Young man, I say to you, get up!”

isv@Luke:7:19 @ and sent them to the Lord to ask, “Are you the Coming One, or should we wait for someone else?”

isv@Luke:7:20 @ When the men had come to him, they said, “John the Baptist has sent us to you to ask, ‘Are you the Coming One, or should we wait for someone else?’”

isv@Luke:7:21 @ At that time Jesus had healed many people of diseases, plagues, and evil spirits and had given sight to many who were blind.

isv@Luke:7:22 @ So he answered them,“Go and tell John what you have observed and heard: the blind see, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear again, the dead are raised, and the destitute hear the good news.

isv@Luke:7:25 @ Really, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fancy clothes? See, those who wear fine clothes and live in luxury are in royal palaces.

isv@Luke:7:32 @ Theyare like little children who sit in the marketplace and shout to each other,‘A wedding song we played for you,the dance you did but scorn. A woeful dirge we chanted, too,but then you did not mourn.’

isv@Luke:7:36 @ Now one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to eat with him. So he went to the Pharisee's home and took his place at the table.

isv@Luke:7:39 @ Now the Pharisee who had invited Jesus saw this and said to himself, “If this man were a prophet, he would have known who is touching him and what kind of woman she is. She's a sinner!”

isv@Luke:7:41 @ “Two men were in debt to a moneylender. One owed him 500 denarii,and the other fifty.

isv@Luke:7:43 @ Simon answered, “I suppose the one who had the larger debt canceled.”Jesus said to him,“You have answered correctly.”

isv@Luke:7:49 @ Those who were at the table with them began to say among themselves, “Who is this man who even forgives sins?”

isv@Luke:8:1 @ After this, Jesus traveled from one city and village to another, preaching and spreading the good news about God's kingdom. The twelve were with him,

isv@Luke:8:2 @ as well as some women who had been healed of evil spirits and illnesses: Mary, also called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out;

isv@Luke:8:4 @ Now while a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to him from every city, he said in a parable:

isv@Luke:8:5 @ “A sower went out to sow his seed. As he was sowing, some seeds fell along the path, were trampled on, and the birds of the sky ate them up.

isv@Luke:8:13 @ The ones on the stony ground are the people who welcome the word with joy when they hear it. But since they don't have any roots, they believe for a while, but in a time of testing they fall away.

isv@Luke:8:14 @ The ones that fell among the thornbushes are the people who listen, but as they go on their way they are choked by the worries, wealth, and pleasures of life, and their fruit doesn't mature.

isv@Luke:8:18 @ So pay attention to how you listen. For to the one who has something, more will be given. However, from the one who doesn't have, even what he thinks he has will be taken away from him.”

isv@Luke:8:21 @ But he answered them,“My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and do it.”

isv@Luke:8:23 @ Now as they were sailing, Jesus fell asleep. A violent storm swept over the lake, and they were taking on water and were in great danger.

isv@Luke:8:24 @ So they went to him, woke him up, and said, “Master! Master! We're going to die!” He got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waves. They stopped, and there was calm.

isv@Luke:8:30 @ Jesus asked him,“What's your name?”He answered, “Legion,” because many demons had gone into him.

isv@Luke:8:33 @ Then the demons came out of the man and went into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the cliff into the lake and drowned.

isv@Luke:8:35 @ So the people went out to see what had happened. When they came to Jesus and found the man from whom the demons had gone out sitting at Jesus’ feet, dressed and in his right mind, they were frightened.

isv@Luke:8:37 @ Then all the people from the region surrounding the Gerasenes asked Jesus to leave them, because they were terrified. So he got into a boat and started back.

isv@Luke:8:40 @ When Jesus came back, the crowd welcomed him, for everyone was expecting him.

isv@Luke:8:42 @ because his only daughter, who was about twelve years old, was dying. While Jesus was on his way, the crowds continued to press in on him.

isv@Luke:8:43 @ A woman was there who had been suffering from chronic bleeding for twelve years. Although she had spent all she had on doctors, no one could heal her.

isv@Luke:8:45 @ Jesus asked,“Who touched me?”While everyone was denying it, Peter and those who were with him said, “Master, the crowds are surrounding you and pressing in on you.”

isv@Luke:8:46 @ Still Jesus said,“Somebody touched me, for I know that power has gone out of me.”

isv@Luke:8:48 @ He said to her,“Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace.”

isv@Luke:8:50 @ But when Jesus heard this, he told the synagogue leader,“Stop being afraid! Just believe, and she will get well.”

isv@Luke:8:51 @ When he arrived at the house, he allowed no one to go in with him except Peter, John, James, and the child's father and mother.

isv@Luke:8:56 @ Her parents were amazed, but he ordered them not to tell anyone what had happened.

isv@Luke:9:1 @ Jesus called the twelve together and gave them power and authority over all the demons and to heal diseases.

isv@Luke:9:5 @ If people don't welcome you, when you leave that city, shake its dust off your feet as a testimony against them.”

isv@Luke:9:6 @ So they left and went from village to village, spreading the good news and healing diseases everywhere.

isv@Luke:9:11 @ But the crowds found out about this and followed him. He welcomed them and began to speak to them about the kingdom of God and to heal those who needed healing.

isv@Luke:9:12 @ As the day was drawing to a close, the twelve came to him and said, “Send the crowd away to the neighboring villages and farms so they can rest and get some food, for we are here in a deserted place.”

isv@Luke:9:13 @ But he said to them,“You give them something to eat.”They replied, “We have nothing more than five loaves of bread and two fish—unless we go and buy food for all these people.”

isv@Luke:9:14 @ Now there were about 5,000 men. So he said to his disciples,“Have them sit down in groups of about fifty.”

isv@Luke:9:17 @ All of them ate and were filled. When they collected the leftover pieces, there were twelve baskets.

isv@Luke:9:18 @ One day while Jesus was praying privately and the disciples were with him, he asked them,“Who do the crowds say I am?”

isv@Luke:9:19 @ They answered, “Some say John the Baptist, others Elijah, and still others one of the ancient prophets who has come back to life.”

isv@Luke:9:20 @ He asked them,“But who do you say I am?”Peter answered, “The Christ of God.”

isv@Luke:9:28 @ Now about eight days after Jesus said this, he took Peter, John, and James with him and went up on a mountain to pray.

isv@Luke:9:30 @ Suddenly, two men were talking with him. They were Moses and Elijah.

isv@Luke:9:31 @ They appeared in glory and were discussing Jesus’ departure which he was about to bring to fulfillment in Jerusalem.

isv@Luke:9:33 @ Just as Moses and Elijah were leaving him, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it's good that we're here! Let's set up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” (Peter didn't know what he was saying.)

isv@Luke:9:34 @ But while he was saying this, a cloud appeared and overshadowed them, and they were frightened as they went into the cloud.

isv@Luke:9:41 @ Jesus answered,“You unbelieving and perverted generation! How much longer must I be with you and put up with you? Bring your son here!”

isv@Luke:9:45 @ But they didn't know what this meant. Indeed, the meaning was hidden from them so that they didn't understand it; and they were afraid to ask him about this statement.

isv@Luke:9:48 @ Then he said to them,“Whoever welcomes this little child in my name welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me. For the one who is least among all of you is the one who is greatest.”

isv@Luke:9:49 @ John said, “Master, we saw someone driving out demons in your name. We tried to stop him, because he wasn't a follower like us.”

isv@Luke:9:52 @ So he sent messengers on ahead of him. On their way they went into a Samaritan village to get things ready for him.

isv@Luke:9:53 @ But the people didn't welcome him, because he was determined to go to Jerusalem.

isv@Luke:9:56 @ and they went on to another village.

isv@Luke:9:57 @ While they were walking along the road, a man said to him, “I will follow you wherever you go.”

isv@Luke:10:8 @ “Whenever you go into a town and the peoplewelcome you, eat whatever they serve you,

isv@Luke:10:10 @ But whenever you go into a town and peopledon't welcome you, go out into its streets and say,

isv@Luke:10:11 @ ‘We are wiping off your town's dust that clings to our feet in protest against you! But realize this: the kingdom of God is near!’

isv@Luke:10:19 @ Look! I have given you the authority to trample snakes and scorpions and to destroyall the enemy's power, and nothing will ever hurt you.

isv@Luke:10:20 @ However, stop rejoicing because the spirits are submitting to you. Rather, rejoice because your names are written in heaven.”

isv@Luke:10:26 @ Jesus answered him,“What is written in the law? What do you read there?”

isv@Luke:10:27 @ He answered, “You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind. And you must love your neighbor as yourself.”

isv@Luke:10:28 @ Jesus told him,“You have answered correctly. Do this, and you will live.”

isv@Luke:10:30 @ After careful consideration, Jesus replied,“A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho when he fell into the hands of bandits. They stripped him, beat him, and went away, leaving him half dead.

isv@Luke:10:31 @ By chance, a priest was traveling along that road. When he saw the man,he went by on the other side.

isv@Luke:10:32 @ Similarly, a Levite came to that place. When he saw the man,he also went by on the other side.

isv@Luke:10:34 @ He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring oil and wine on them. Then he put him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him.

isv@Luke:10:37 @ He said, “The one who showed mercy to him.”Jesus told him,“Go and do what he did.”

isv@Luke:10:38 @ Now as they were traveling along, Jesus went into a village. A woman named Martha welcomed him into her home.

isv@Luke:10:41 @ The Lord answered her,“Martha, Martha! You worry and fuss about a lot of things.

isv@Luke:11:4 @ and forgive us our sins, as we forgive everyone who sins against us.And never bring us into temptation.’”

isv@Luke:11:7 @ Suppose he answers from inside, ‘Stop bothering me! The door is already locked, and my children are with me in bed. I can't get up and give you anything!’

isv@Luke:11:14 @ Jesus was driving a demon out of a man who was unable to talk. When the demon had gone out, the man began to speak, and the crowds were amazed.

isv@Luke:11:17 @ Since he knew what they were thinking, he said to them,“Every kingdom divided against itself is devastated, and a divided household collapses.

isv@Luke:11:19 @ And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your own followersdrive them out? That is why they will be your judges!

isv@Luke:11:25 @ When it arrives, it finds it swept clean and put in order.

isv@Luke:11:29 @ Now as the crowds continued to throng around Jesus, he went on to say,“This generation is an evil generation. It craves a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah.

isv@Luke:11:37 @ After Jesus had said this, a Pharisee invited him to have a meal with him. So Jesus went and took his place at the table.

isv@Luke:11:51 @ from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who died between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, it will be charged against this generation!

isv@Luke:11:52 @ How terrible it will be for you experts in the law! For you have taken away the key to knowledge. You didn't go in yourselves, and you kept out those who were trying to go in.”

isv@Luke:12:1 @ Meanwhile, the people had gathered by the thousands and were trampling on one another. Jesus began to speak first to his disciples.“Watch out for the yeast—that is, the hypocrisy—of the Pharisees!

isv@Luke:12:22 @ Then Jesus said to his disciples,“That's why I'm telling you to stop worrying about your life—what you will eat—or about your body—what you will wear.

isv@Luke:12:31 @ Instead, be concerned about hiskingdom, and these things will be provided for you as well.

isv@Luke:12:33 @ “Sell your possessions, and give the money to the poor. Make yourselves wallets that don't wear out—a dependable treasure in heaven, where no thief can get close and no moth can destroy anything.

isv@Luke:12:36 @ Be like people who are waiting for their master to return from a wedding. As soon as he comes and knocks, they will open the door for him.

isv@Luke:12:49 @ “I have come to bring fire on earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!

isv@Luke:12:54 @ Then Jesus said to the crowds,“When you see a cloud coming in the west, you immediately say, ‘There's going to be a storm,’ and that's what happens.

isv@Luke:13:1 @ At that time, some people who were there told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.

isv@Luke:13:2 @ He asked them,“Do you think that these Galileans were more sinful than all the other Galileans because they suffered like this?

isv@Luke:13:4 @ What about those eighteen people who were killed when the tower at Siloam fell on them? Do you think they were worse offenders than all the other people living in Jerusalem?

isv@Luke:13:6 @ Then Jesus told them this parable:“A man had a fig tree that had been planted in his vineyard. He went to look for fruit on it but didn't find any.

isv@Luke:13:17 @ Even as he was saying this, all of his opponents were blushing with shame. But the entire crowd was rejoicing at all the wonderful things he was doing.

isv@Luke:13:18 @ So Jesus went on to say,“What is the kingdom of God like? What can I compare it to?

isv@Luke:13:25 @ After the homeowner gets up and closes the door, you can standoutside, knock on the door, and say again and again, ‘Lord, open the door for us!’ But he will answer you, ‘I don't know where you come from.’

isv@Luke:13:26 @ Thenyou will say,‘We ate and drank with you, and you taught in our streets.’

isv@Luke:13:29 @ People will come from east and west, and from north and south, and will eat in the kingdom of God.

isv@Luke:14:1 @ One Sabbath, Jesus went to the house of a leader of the Pharisees to eat a meal. The guests were watching Jesus closely.

isv@Luke:14:5 @ Then he asked them,“If your sonor ox falls into a well on the Sabbath day, you would pull him out immediately, wouldn't you?”

isv@Luke:14:7 @ When Jesus noticed how the guests were choosing the places of honor, he told them a parable.

isv@Luke:14:8 @ “When you are invited by someone to a wedding banquet, don't sit down at the place of honor in case someone more important than you was invited by him.

isv@Luke:14:17 @ When it was time for the banquet, he sent his servant to tell those who were invited, ‘Come! Everything is now ready.’

isv@Luke:14:21 @ “So the servant went back and reported this to his master. Then the master of the house became angry and told his servant, ‘Go quickly into the streets and alleys of the town and bring back the poor, the crippled, the blind, and the lame.’

isv@Luke:14:24 @ For I tell all of you,none of those men who were invited will taste anything at my banquet.’”

isv@Luke:14:25 @ Now large crowds were traveling with Jesus. He turned and said to them,

isv@Luke:14:26 @ “If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father, mother, wife, children, brothers, and sisters, as well as his own life, he can't be my disciple.

isv@Luke:14:28 @ “Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. He will first sit down and estimate the cost to see whether he has enough money to finish it, won't he?

isv@Luke:15:2 @ But the Pharisees and the scribes kept complaining, “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.”

isv@Luke:15:8 @ “Or suppose a woman has ten coins and loses one of them.She lights a lamp, sweeps the house, and searches carefully until she finds it, doesn't she?

isv@Luke:15:12 @ The younger one said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So the fatherdivided his property between them.

isv@Luke:15:15 @ So he went and hired himself out to one of the citizens of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed pigs.

isv@Luke:15:16 @ He would gladly have filled himself with the husks the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything.

isv@Luke:15:20 @ “So he got up and went to his father. While he was still far away, his father saw him and was filled with compassion. He ran to his son,threw his arms around him, and kissed him affectionately.

isv@Luke:15:29 @ But he answered his father, “Listen! All these years I've worked like a slave for you. I've never disobeyed a command of yours. Yet you've never given me so much as a young goat so that I could celebrate with my friends.

isv@Luke:15:32 @ But we had to celebrate and rejoice, because this brother of yours was dead and has come back to life. He was lost and has been found.’”

isv@Luke:16:3 @ “Then the manager said to himself, ‘What should I do? My master is taking my position away from me. I'm not strong enough to dig, and I'm ashamed to beg. 4I know what I'll do so that peoplewill welcome me into their homes when I'm dismissed from my job.’

isv@Luke:16:5 @ “So he called for each of his master's debtors. He asked the first, ‘How much do you owe my master?’

isv@Luke:16:7 @ Then he asked another debtor,‘How much do you owe?’ The man replied, ‘A hundred containers of wheat.’ The managertold him, ‘Get your bill and write “eighty.”’

isv@Luke:16:9 @ “I'm telling you, make friends for yourselves by means of unrighteous riches,so that when they're gone you'll be welcomedinto eternal homes.

isv@Luke:16:11 @ So if you have not been faithful with unrighteous riches,who will trust you with true wealth?

isv@Luke:16:16 @ “The law and the Prophets were prophesyinguntil the time ofJohn. Since then, the good news about the kingdom of God has been proclaimed, and everyone is trying to enter it by force.

isv@Luke:16:17 @ However, it is easier for heaven and earth to disappear than for one stroke of a letter in the law to be dropped.

isv@Luke:16:26 @ Besides all this, a wide chasm has been fixed between us, so that those who want to cross from this side to you can't do so, nor can they cross from your side to us.’

isv@Luke:16:30 @ But the rich manreplied, ‘No, father Abraham! Yet if someone from the dead went to them, they would repent.’

isv@Luke:17:2 @ It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea than for him to cause one of these little ones to sin.

isv@Luke:17:10 @ That's the way it is with you. When you have done everything you were ordered to do, say, ‘We are worthless servants. We have done only what we ought to have done.’”

isv@Luke:17:11 @ One day, Jesus was traveling along the border between Samaria and Galilee on the way to Jerusalem.

isv@Luke:17:14 @ When he saw them, he told them,“Go and show yourselves to the priests.” While they were going, they were made clean.

isv@Luke:17:17 @ Jesus asked,“Ten men were made clean, weren't they? Where are the other nine?

isv@Luke:17:19 @ Then he told the man,“Get up, and go home! Your faith has made you well.”

isv@Luke:17:20 @ Once Jesus was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come. He answered them,“The kingdom of God is not coming with a visible display.

isv@Luke:17:27 @ Peoplewere eating, drinking, marrying, and being given in marriage right up to the day when Noah went into the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed all of them.

isv@Luke:17:28 @ So it was in the days of Lot. Peoplewere eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building.

isv@Luke:18:5 @ Yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will grant her justice. Otherwise, she will keep coming and wear me out.’”

isv@Luke:18:9 @ Jesus also told this parable to some people who trusted in themselves because they were righteous, but who looked down on everyone else:

isv@Luke:18:10 @ “Two men went up to the temple to pray. One was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector.

isv@Luke:18:12 @ I fast twice a week, and I give a tenth of my entire income.’

isv@Luke:18:14 @ I tell you, this man, rather than the other, went down to his home justified. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the person who humbles himself will be exalted.”

isv@Luke:18:15 @ Now some people were even bringing their infants to Jesus to have him touch them. But when the disciples saw this, they sternly told the people not to do that.

isv@Luke:18:16 @ Jesus, however, called for them and said,“Let the little children come to me, and stop keeping them away. For the kingdom of God belongs to people like these.

isv@Luke:18:28 @ Then Peter said, “See, we have left everything we have and followed you.”

isv@Luke:18:30 @ who will not receive many times as much in this world, as well as eternal life in the age to come.”

isv@Luke:18:31 @ Jesus took the twelve aside and said to them,“See, we are going up to Jerusalem. Everything written by the prophets about the Son of Man will be fulfilled.

isv@Luke:18:42 @ Jesus told him,“Receive your sight! Your faith has made you well.”

isv@Luke:19:6 @ Zacchaeus came down quickly and was glad to welcome him into his home.

isv@Luke:19:7 @ But all the people who saw this began to complain, saying, “He went to be the guest of a notorious sinner!”

isv@Luke:19:8 @ Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, “Lord, I'll give half of my possessions to the poor. I'll pay four times as much as I owe if I have cheated anyone in any way.”

isv@Luke:19:11 @ As they were listening to this, Jesus went on to tell a parable because he was near Jerusalem and because the people thought that the kingdom of God would appear immediately.

isv@Luke:19:12 @ So he said,“A prince went to a distant country to be appointed king and then to return.

isv@Luke:19:14 @ But the citizens of his country hated him and sent a delegation to follow him, saying, ‘We don't want this man to rule over us!’

isv@Luke:19:17 @ The kingsaid to him, ‘Well done, good servant! Because you have been trustworthy in a very small thing, take charge of ten cities.’

isv@Luke:19:25 @ They answered him, ‘Sir, he alreadyhas ten coins!’

isv@Luke:19:28 @ After Jesus had said this, he traveled on and went up to Jerusalem.

isv@Luke:19:32 @ So those who were sent went off and found it as he had told them.

isv@Luke:19:33 @ While they were untying the colt, its owners asked them, “Why are you untying the colt?”

isv@Luke:19:34 @ The disciples answered, “The Lord needs it.”

isv@Luke:19:40 @ He replied,“I tell you, if they were quiet, the stones would cry out!”

isv@Luke:19:45 @ Then Jesus went into the temple and began to throw out those who were selling things.

isv@Luke:19:48 @ but they couldn't find a way to do it, because all the people were eager to hear him.

isv@Luke:20:3 @ He answered them,“I, too, will ask you a question.Tell me:

isv@Luke:20:5 @ They discussed this among themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will ask, ‘Then why didn't you believe him?’

isv@Luke:20:6 @ But if we say, ‘From humans,’ all the people will stone us to death, for they are convinced that John was a prophet.”

isv@Luke:20:7 @ So they answered that they didn't know where it was from.

isv@Luke:20:9 @ Then he began to tell the people this parable:“A man planted a vineyard, leased it to tenant farmers, and went abroad for a long time.

isv@Luke:20:19 @ When the scribes and the high priests realized that he had told this parable against them, they wanted to lay their hands on him at that very hour, but they were afraid of the crowd.

isv@Luke:20:20 @ So they watched him closely and sent spies who pretended to be honest men in order to trap him in what he would say. They wanted to hand him over to the power and authority of the governor.

isv@Luke:20:21 @ So they asked him, “Teacher, we know that you are right in what you say and teach, and that you don't favor any individual, but teach the way of God truthfully.

isv@Luke:20:26 @ So they couldn't catch him before the people in what he said. Amazed at his answer, they became silent.

isv@Luke:20:29 @ Now there were seven brothers. The first one married and died childless.

isv@Luke:20:39 @ Then some of the scribes replied, “Teacher, you have given a fine answer.”

isv@Luke:20:45 @ While all the people were listening, he said to his disciples,

isv@Luke:21:5 @ Now while some people were talking about the temple—how it was decorated with beautiful stones and gifts dedicated to God—he said,

isv@Luke:21:10 @ Then he went on to say to them,“Nation will rise up in arms against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.

isv@Luke:21:26 @ People will faint with fear and apprehension because of the things that are to come on the world, for the powers of heaven will be shaken loose.

isv@Luke:21:27 @ Then they will see ‘the Son of Man coming in a cloud’with power and great glory.

isv@Luke:22:2 @ So the high priests and the scribes were looking for a way to put him to death, for they were afraid of the crowd.

isv@Luke:22:3 @ But Satan went into Judas called Iscariot, who belonged to the circle of the twelve.

isv@Luke:22:4 @ So he went off and discussed with the high priests and the temple police how he could betray him to them.

isv@Luke:22:5 @ They were delighted and agreed to give him money.

isv@Luke:22:13 @ So they went and found everything just as Jesus had told them, and they prepared the Passover meal.

isv@Luke:22:30 @ so that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom and sit down on thrones to govern the twelve tribes of Israel.”

isv@Luke:22:38 @ So they said, “Lord, look! Here are two swords.”He answered them,“Enough of that!”

isv@Luke:22:39 @ Then he left and went to the Mount of Olives, as usual. The disciples went with him.

isv@Luke:22:44 @ In his anguish he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat became like large drops of blood falling on the ground.

isv@Luke:22:45 @ When he got up from prayer, he went to the disciples and found them asleep from sorrow.

isv@Luke:22:47 @ While Jesus was still speaking, a crowd came up. The man called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them, and he came close to Jesus to kiss him.

isv@Luke:22:49 @ When those who were around him saw what was about to take place, they asked, “Lord, should we strike with our swords?”

isv@Luke:22:52 @ Then Jesus said to the high priests, the temple police, and the elders, who had come for him,“Have you come out with swords and clubs as if I were a bandit?

isv@Luke:22:60 @ But Peter said, “Mister, I don't know what you're talking about!” Just then, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.

isv@Luke:22:62 @ And he went outside and cried bitterly.

isv@Luke:22:63 @ Then the men who were holding Jesus in custody began to make fun of him while they beat him.

isv@Luke:22:68 @ and if I ask you a question, you won't answer me.

isv@Luke:22:70 @ Then they all asked, “Are you, then, the Son of God?”He answered them,“You say that I am.”

isv@Luke:22:71 @ Then they said, “Why do we need any more testimony? We have heard it ourselves from his own mouth!”

isv@Luke:23:2 @ They began to accuse him, “We found this man corrupting our nation, forbidding us to pay taxes to Caesar, and saying that he is the Christ, a king.”

isv@Luke:23:3 @ Then Pilate asked him, “Are you the king of the Jews?”He answered him,“You say so.”

isv@Luke:23:9 @ So he continued to question him for a long time, but Jesus gave him no answer at all.

isv@Luke:23:27 @ A large crowd of people followed him, including some women who kept beating their breasts and wailing for him.

isv@Luke:23:32 @ Two others, who were criminals, were also led away to be executed with him.

isv@Luke:23:35 @ Meanwhile, the people stood looking on. Even the leaders were mocking him and saying, “He saved others. Let him save himself, if he is the Christ of God, whom he has chosen!”

isv@Luke:23:41 @ We have been condemned justly, for we are getting what we deserve for our deeds, but this man has done nothing wrong.”

isv@Luke:23:42 @ Then he went on to say, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom!”

isv@Luke:23:49 @ But all his acquaintances, including the women who had followed him from Galilee, were standing at a distance watching these things.

isv@Luke:23:52 @ He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.

isv@Luke:23:56 @ Then they went back and prepared spices and perfumes, and on the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.

isv@Luke:24:1 @ But on the first day of the week at early dawn they went to the tomb, taking the spices they had prepared.

isv@Luke:24:3 @ but when they went in, they didn't find the body of the Lord Jesus.

isv@Luke:24:4 @ While they were puzzling over this, two men in dazzling robes suddenly stood beside them.

isv@Luke:24:5 @ Because the women were terrified and were bowing their faces to the ground, the men asked them, “Why are you looking among the dead for someone who is living?

isv@Luke:24:10 @ The women who told the apostles about it were Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and some others.

isv@Luke:24:12 @ Peter, however, got up and ran to the tomb. He stooped down and saw only the linen cloths. Then he went home wondering about what had happened.

isv@Luke:24:13 @ On the same day, two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem.

isv@Luke:24:14 @ They were talking with each other about all these things that had taken place.

isv@Luke:24:15 @ While they were talking and discussing, Jesus himself approached and began to walk with them,

isv@Luke:24:16 @ but their eyes were prevented from recognizing him.

isv@Luke:24:18 @ The one whose name was Cleopas answered him, “Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem who doesn't know what happened there these days?”

isv@Luke:24:19 @ He asked them,“What things?”They answered him, “The things about Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet, mighty in the things that he did and said before God and all the people,

isv@Luke:24:21 @ But we kept hoping that he would be the one to redeem Israel. What is more, this is now the third day since these things occurred.

isv@Luke:24:22 @ Even some of our women have startled us! They were at the tomb early this morning

isv@Luke:24:24 @ Then some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but they didn't see him.”

isv@Luke:24:28 @ As they came near the village where they were going, he acted as though he were going on farther.

isv@Luke:24:29 @ But they urged him strongly, “Stay with us, for it is almost evening and the day is almost gone.” So he went in to stay with them.

isv@Luke:24:31 @ Then their eyes were opened, and they knew who he was. And he vanished from them.

isv@Luke:24:33 @ That same hour they got up and went back to Jerusalem and found the eleven and their companions all together.

isv@Luke:24:36 @ While they were talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them,“Peace be with you.”

isv@Luke:24:37 @ They were startled and terrified, thinking they were seeing a ghost.

isv@Luke:24:40 @ After he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.

isv@Luke:24:41 @ While they still could not believe it for joy and were full of amazement, he said to them,“Do you have anything here to eat?”

isv@Luke:24:49 @ I am sending on you what my Father promised. But stay here in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.”

isv@Luke:24:53 @ And they were continually in the temple blessing God.

isv@John:1:3 @ Through him all things were made, and apart from him nothing was made that has been made.

isv@John:1:12 @ However, to all who received him, to those believing in his name, he gave authority to become God's children,

isv@John:1:13 @ who were born, not merely in a physical sense, or from a fleshly impulse, or from man's desire, but of God.

isv@John:1:14 @ The Word became flesh and tabernacled among us. We gazed on his glory, the kind of glory that belongs to the Father's unique Son, full of grace and truth.

isv@John:1:16 @ From his fullness we have all received one gracious gift after another.

isv@John:1:21 @ So they asked him, “Well then, are you Elijah?”He said, “I am not.”“Are you the Prophet?”He answered, “No.”

isv@John:1:22 @ Then they said to him, “Who are you? We must give an answer to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?”

isv@John:1:26 @ John answered them, “I am baptizing with water, but among you stands a man whom you do not know,

isv@John:1:37 @ When the two disciples heard him say this, they followed Jesus.

isv@John:1:39 @ He told them,“Come, and you will see.” So they went and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day. It was about four o'clock in the afternoon.

isv@John:1:40 @ Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, was one of the two who heard John and followed Jesus.

isv@John:1:41 @ Andrew first found his brother Simon and said to him, “We have found the Messiah” (which is translated “Christ”).

isv@John:1:45 @ Philip found Nathaniel and told him, “We have found the man about whom Moses in the Law and the Prophets wrote—Jesus, the son of Joseph, from Nazareth.”

isv@John:1:48 @ Nathaniel said to him, “How do you know me?”Jesus answered him,“Before Philip called you, while you were under the fig tree, I saw you.”

isv@John:2:1 @ On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee. The mother of Jesus was there,

isv@John:2:2 @ and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding.

isv@John:2:6 @ Now standing there were six stone water jars used for the Jewish rites of purification, each one holding from twenty to thirty gallons.

isv@John:2:12 @ After this, Jesus went down to Capernaum—he, his mother, his brothers, and his disciples—and they remained there for a few days.

isv@John:2:13 @ The Jewish Passover was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

isv@John:2:14 @ In the temple he found people selling cattle, sheep, and doves, as well as moneychangers sitting at their tables.

isv@John:2:16 @ Then he told those who were selling the doves,“Take these things out of here! Stop making my Father's house a marketplace!”

isv@John:2:19 @ Jesus answered them,“Destroy this sanctuary, and in three days I will rebuild it.”

isv@John:2:24 @ Jesus, however, did not entrust himself to them, because he knew all people

isv@John:2:25 @ and didn't need anyone to tell him what people were like. For he himself knew what was in every person.

isv@John:3:2 @ He came to Jesus at night and said to him, “Rabbi, we know that you have come from God as a teacher, for no one can perform these signs that you are doing unless God is with him.”

isv@John:3:5 @ Jesus answered,“Truly, truly I tell you, unless a person is born of water and Spirit he cannot enter the kingdom of God.

isv@John:3:10 @ Jesus answered him,“You're the teacher of Israel, and you can't understand this?

isv@John:3:11 @ Truly, truly I tell you, we know what we're talking about, and we testify about what we've seen. Yet you peopledo not accept our testimony.

isv@John:3:19 @ And this is the basis for judgment: The light has come into the world, but people loved the darkness more than the light because their actions were evil.

isv@John:3:22 @ After this, Jesus and his disciples went into the Judean countryside. He spent some time there with them and began baptizing.

isv@John:3:23 @ John was also baptizing in Aenon, near Salim, because there was plenty of water there. People kept coming and were being baptized,

isv@John:3:25 @ Then a controversy about ritual purification sprang up between John's disciples and a certain Jew.

isv@John:3:26 @ They went to John and told him, “Rabbi, the man who was with you on the other side of the Jordan, the one about whom you testified—look, he's baptizing, and all are going to him!”

isv@John:4:3 @ he left Judea and went back to Galilee.

isv@John:4:6 @ Jacob's Well was also there, and Jesus, tired out by the journey, sat down by the well. It was about twelve noon.

isv@John:4:10 @ Jesus answered her,“If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who is saying to you, ‘Please give me a drink,’ you would have been the one to ask him, and he would have given you living water.”

isv@John:4:11 @ The woman said to him, “Sir, you don't have a bucket, and the well is deep. Where are you going to get this living water?

isv@John:4:12 @ You're not greater than our ancestor Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it, along with his sons and his flocks, are you?”

isv@John:4:13 @ Jesus answered her,“Everyone who drinks this water will become thirsty again.

isv@John:4:14 @ But whoever drinks the water that I will give him will never become thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.”

isv@John:4:17 @ The woman answered him, “I don't have a husband.”Jesus said to her,“You are quite right in saying, ‘I don't have a husband.’

isv@John:4:22 @ You don't know what you're worshiping. We know what we're worshiping, for salvation comes from the Jews.

isv@John:4:27 @ At this point his disciples arrived, and they were amazed that he was talking to a woman. Yet no one said, “What do you want from her?” or, “Why are you talking to her?”

isv@John:4:28 @ Then the woman left her water jar and went back to town. She told the people,

isv@John:4:31 @ Meanwhile, the disciples were urging him, “Rabbi, have something to eat.”

isv@John:4:42 @ They kept telling the woman, “It is no longer because of what you said that we believe, for we have heard him ourselves, and we know that he really is the Savior of the world.”

isv@John:4:43 @ Two days later, Jesus went from that place to Galilee.

isv@John:4:45 @ When he arrived in Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him because they had seen all that he had done in Jerusalem during the festival. For they, too, had gone to the festival.

isv@John:4:47 @ When this man heard that Jesus had come from Judea to Galilee, he went to him and asked him repeatedly to come down and heal his son, for he was about to die.

isv@John:5:1 @ Later on, there was a festival of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

isv@John:5:3 @ and under these a large number of sick people were lying—blind, lame, or paralyzed—waiting for the movement of the water.

isv@John:5:6 @ When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had already been there a long time, he said to him,“Do you want to get well?”

isv@John:5:7 @ The sick man answered him, “Sir, I don't have anyone to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up. While I'm trying to get there, someone else steps down ahead of me.”

isv@John:5:9 @ The man immediately became well, and he picked up his mat and started walking. Now that day was a Sabbath.

isv@John:5:11 @ But he answered them, “The man who made me well told me,‘Pick up your mat and walk.’”

isv@John:5:14 @ Later on, Jesus found him in the temple and told him,“See, you have become well. Stop sinning or something worse may happen to you.”

isv@John:5:15 @ The man went off and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.

isv@John:5:17 @ But Jesus answered them,“My Father has been working until now, and I, too, am working.”

isv@John:5:18 @ So the Jews were trying all the harder to kill him, because he was not only breaking the Sabbath but was also calling God his own Father, thus making himself equal to God.

isv@John:5:35 @ That man was a lamp that burns and brightly shines, and for a while you were willing to rejoice in his light.

isv@John:6:1 @ After this, Jesus went away to the other side of the Sea of Galilee (or Tiberias).

isv@John:6:3 @ But Jesus went up on a hillside and sat down there with his disciples.

isv@John:6:5 @ When Jesus looked up and saw that a large crowd was coming toward him, he said to Philip,“Where can we buy bread for these people to eat?”

isv@John:6:7 @ Philip answered him, “Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not enough for each of them to get a little.”

isv@John:6:11 @ Then Jesus took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed them to those who were seated. He also distributed the fish, as much as they wanted.

isv@John:6:12 @ When they were completely satisfied, he told his disciples,“Collect the pieces that are left over so that nothing is lost.”

isv@John:6:13 @ So they collected them and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves left over by those who had eaten.

isv@John:6:15 @ Then Jesus, realizing that they were about to come and take him by force to make him king, withdrew again to the hillside by himself.

isv@John:6:16 @ When evening came, his disciples went down to the sea,

isv@John:6:19 @ They had rowed about three or four miles when they saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the boat. They became terrified.

isv@John:6:21 @ So they were glad to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat reached the land toward which they were going.

isv@John:6:24 @ When the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they got into these boats and went to Capernaum to look for Jesus.

isv@John:6:26 @ Jesus replied to them,“Truly, truly I tell you, you are looking for me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate the loaves and were completely satisfied.

isv@John:6:28 @ Then they said to him, “What must we do to perform the works of God?”

isv@John:6:29 @ Jesus answered them,“This is the work of God: to believe in the one whom he has sent.”

isv@John:6:30 @ So they said to him, “What sign are you going to do so that we may see it and believe in you? What work are you performing?

isv@John:6:42 @ They kept saying, “This is Jesus, the son of Joseph, isn't it, whose father and mother we know? So how can he say, ‘I have come down from heaven’?”

isv@John:6:43 @ Jesus answered them,“Stop grumbling among yourselves.

isv@John:6:61 @ But Jesus, knowing in himself that his disciples were grumbling about this, said to them,“Does this offend you?

isv@John:6:64 @ But there are some among you who do not believe.” For from the beginning Jesus knew those who wouldn't believe, as well as the one who would betray him.

isv@John:6:67 @ So Jesus said to the twelve,“You don't want to leave, too, do you?”

isv@John:6:68 @ Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life.

isv@John:6:69 @ Besides, we have believed and remain convinced that you are the Holy One of God.”

isv@John:6:70 @ Jesus answered them,“I chose you twelve, didn't I? Yet one of you is a devil.”

isv@John:6:71 @ Now he was speaking about Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. For this man, even though he was one of the twelve, was going to betray him.

isv@John:7:1 @ After this, Jesus traveled about in Galilee, for he didn't want to travel in Judea because the Jews were trying to kill him.

isv@John:7:10 @ But after his brothers had gone up to the festival, he went up himself, not openly but, as it were, in secret.

isv@John:7:12 @ And there was a great deal of discussion about him among the crowds.Some were saying, “He is a good man,” while others were saying, “No, he is deceiving the crowd!”

isv@John:7:13 @ No one, however, would speak openly about him for fear of the Jews.

isv@John:7:14 @ Halfway through the festival, Jesus went up to the temple and began teaching.

isv@John:7:15 @ The Jews were astonished and remarked, “How can this man be so educated when he has never gone to school?”

isv@John:7:20 @ The crowd answered, “You have a demon! Who is trying to kill you?”

isv@John:7:21 @ Jesus answered them,“I performed one work, and all of you are astonished.

isv@John:7:23 @ If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me because I made a man perfectly well on the Sabbath?

isv@John:7:27 @ We know where this man comes from. But when the Christ comes, no one will know where he comes from.”

isv@John:7:31 @ However, many in the crowd believed in him, saying, “When the Christ comes, he won't do more signs than this man has done, will he?”

isv@John:7:35 @ Then the Jews said to one another, “Where does this man intend to go so that we will not find him? Surely he's not going to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks, is he?

isv@John:7:39 @ Now he said this about the Spirit, whom those who were believing in him were to receive. For the Spirit was not yet present, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.

isv@John:7:40 @ When they heard these words, some in the crowd were saying, “This really is the Prophet,”

isv@John:7:41 @ while others were saying, “This is the Christ!”But some were saying, “The Christ doesn't come from Galilee, does he?

isv@John:7:44 @ Some of them were wanting to seize him, but no one laid hands on him.

isv@John:7:46 @ The officers answered, “No man ever spoke like that!”

isv@John:7:52 @ They answered him, “You aren't from Galilee, too, are you? Search and see that no prophet comes from Galilee.”

isv@John:7:53 @ Then each of them went to his own home.

isv@John:8:1 @ Jesus, however, went to the Mount of Olives.

isv@John:8:9 @ When they heard this, they went away one by one, beginning with the oldest, and he was left alone with the woman standing there.

isv@John:8:14 @ Jesus answered them,“Even though I am testifying about myself, my testimony is validbecause I know where I have come from and where I am going. But you do not know where I come from or where I am going.

isv@John:8:33 @ They replied to him, “We are Abraham's descendants and have never been slaves to anybody. So how can you say,‘You will be set free’?”

isv@John:8:34 @ Jesus answered them,“Truly, truly I tell you that everyone who commits sin is a slave of sin.

isv@John:8:39 @ They replied to him, “Our father is Abraham!”Jesus said to them,“If you were Abraham's children, you would be doing what Abraham did.

isv@John:8:41 @ You are doing your father's works.”They said to him, “We are not illegitimate children. We have one Father, God himself.”

isv@John:8:42 @ Jesus told them,“If God were your Father, you would have loved me, because I came from God and am here. For I have not come on my own accord, but he sent me.

isv@John:8:48 @ The Jews replied to him, “Surely we are right in saying that you are a Samaritan and have a demon, aren't we?”

isv@John:8:49 @ Jesus answered,“I don't have a demon. On the contrary, I honor my Father, and you dishonor me.

isv@John:8:52 @ Then the Jews said to him, “Now we really know that you have a demon. Abraham died, and so did the prophets, but you say,‘If anyone keeps my word, he will never taste death at all.’

isv@John:8:54 @ Jesus answered,“If I were trying to glorify myself, my glory would mean nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say, ‘He is our God.’

isv@John:8:55 @ You don't know him, but I know him. If I were to say that I don't know him, I would be a liar like you. But I do know him and keep his word.

isv@John:8:59 @ At this, they picked up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple.

isv@John:9:3 @ Jesus answered,“Neither this man nor his parents sinned. This happened so thatthe works of God might be revealed in him.

isv@John:9:7 @ and told him,“Go and wash in the pool of Siloam” (which is translated “Sent One”). So he went off and washed and came back seeing.

isv@John:9:9 @ Some were saying, “It is he,” while others were saying, “No, but it is someone like him.”He himself kept saying, “It is I!”

isv@John:9:10 @ So they said to him, “How, then, were your eyes opened?”

isv@John:9:11 @ He said, “The man named Jesus made some mud, spread it on my eyes, and told me,‘Go to Siloam and wash.’ So off I went and washed, and I received my sight.”

isv@John:9:16 @ Some of the Pharisees began to remark, “This man is not from God because he does not keep the Sabbath.”But others were saying, “How can a sinful man perform such signs?” And there was a division among them.

isv@John:9:20 @ His parents replied, “We know that this is our son and that he was born blind.

isv@John:9:21 @ But we don't know how it is that he now sees, and we don't know who opened his eyes. Ask him. He is of age and can speak for himself.”

isv@John:9:22 @ His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews. For the Jews had already agreed that anyone who acknowledged that Jesus was the Christ would be thrown out of the synagogue.

isv@John:9:24 @ So for a second time they summoned the man who had been blind and told him, “Give glory to God! We know that this man is a sinner.”

isv@John:9:27 @ He answered them, “I've already told you, but you didn't listen. Why do you want to hear it again? You don't want to become his disciples, too, do you?”

isv@John:9:28 @ At this, they turned on him furiously and said, “You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses!

isv@John:9:29 @ We know that God has spoken to Moses, but we do not know where this fellow comes from.”

isv@John:9:30 @ The man answered them, “This is an amazing thing! You don't know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes.

isv@John:9:31 @ We know that God doesn't listen to sinners, but he does listen to anyone who worships him and does his will.

isv@John:9:33 @ If this man were not from God, he couldn't do anything like that.”

isv@John:9:34 @ They said to him, “You were born entirely in sins, and you are trying to instruct us?” And they threw him out.

isv@John:9:36 @ He answered, “And who is he, sir? Tell me, so that I may believe in him.”

isv@John:9:40 @ Some of the Pharisees who were near him overheard this and said to him, “We aren't blind, too, are we?”

isv@John:9:41 @ Jesus told them,“If you were blind, you would not have any sin. But now that you insist, ‘We see,’ your sin remains.”

isv@John:10:20 @ Many of them were saying, “He has a demon and is insane. Why bother listening to him?”

isv@John:10:21 @ Others were saying, “These are not the words of a man who is demon-possessed. A demon cannot open the eyes of the blind, can it?”

isv@John:10:25 @ Jesus answered them,“I have told you, but you do not believe it. The works that I do in my Father's name testify on my behalf,

isv@John:10:33 @ The Jews answered him, “We are not going to stone you for a good work but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, are making yourself God!”

isv@John:10:40 @ Then he went away again across the Jordan to the place where John had been baptizing at first, and he remained there.

isv@John:10:41 @ Many people came to him and kept saying, “John never performed a sign, but all the things that John said about this man were true!”

isv@John:11:8 @ The disciples said to him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just now trying to stone you to death, and you are going back there again?”

isv@John:11:9 @ Jesus replied,“There are twelve hours in the day, aren't there? If anyone walks during the day he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.

isv@John:11:11 @ These were the things he said. Then after this he told them,“Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am leaving to wake him up.”

isv@John:11:12 @ So the disciples said to him, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will get well.”

isv@John:11:13 @ Jesus, however, had been speaking about his death, but they thought that he was speaking about resting or sleeping.

isv@John:11:16 @ Then Thomas, who was called the Twin, said to his fellow disciples, “Let's go, too, so that we may die with him!”

isv@John:11:20 @ As soon as Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, while Mary stayed at home.

isv@John:11:28 @ When she had said this, she went away and called her sister Mary and told her privately, “The Teacher is here and is calling for you!”

isv@John:11:29 @ As soon as Mary heard this, she got up quickly and went to him.

isv@John:11:31 @ When the Jews who had been with her, consoling her in the house, saw Mary get up quickly and go out, they followed her, thinking that she had gone to the tomb to cry there.

isv@John:11:46 @ Some of them, however, went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.

isv@John:11:47 @ So the high priests and the Pharisees assembled the Council and said, “What are we going to do? This man is performing many signs.

isv@John:11:48 @ If we let him go on like this, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and destroy both our temple and our nation.”

isv@John:11:52 @ and not only for the nation, but that he would also gather into one the children of God who were scattered abroad.

isv@John:11:54 @ As a result, Jesus no longer walked openly among the Jews. Instead, he went from there to a town called Ephraim in the region near the wilderness. There he remained with his disciples.

isv@John:11:55 @ Now the Jewish Passover was approaching, and before the Passover many people from the countryside went up to Jerusalem to purify themselves.

isv@John:12:11 @ since he was the reason why so many of the Jews were going away and believing in Jesus.

isv@John:12:13 @ So they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, shouting, “Hosanna! How blessed is the one who comesin the name of the Lord, the King of Israel!”

isv@John:12:16 @ At first his disciples didn't understand these things. However, when Jesus had been glorified, they remembered that these things had been written about him and that people had done these things to him.

isv@John:12:20 @ Now some Greeks were among those who had come up to worship at the festival.

isv@John:12:21 @ They went to Philip (who was from Bethsaida in Galilee) and told him, “Sir, we would like to see Jesus.”

isv@John:12:22 @ Philip went and told Andrew, and Andrew and Philip went and told Jesus.

isv@John:12:29 @ The crowd standing there heard this and said that it was thunder. Others were saying, “An angel has spoken to him.”

isv@John:12:34 @ Then the crowd answered him, “We have learned from the law that the Christ remains forever. So how can you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?”

isv@John:12:36 @ As long as you have the light, believe in the light, so that you may become children of light.” After Jesus had said this, he went away and hid from them.

isv@John:13:1 @ Now before the Passover Festival, Jesus realized that his hour had come to leave this world and return to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.

isv@John:13:4 @ got up from the table, removed his outer robe, and took a towel and fastened it around his waist.

isv@John:13:5 @ Then he poured some water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet and to dry them with the towel that was tied around his waist.

isv@John:13:7 @ Jesus answered him,“You do not realize now what I am doing, but later on you will understand.”

isv@John:13:8 @ Peter said to him, “You must never wash my feet!”Jesus answered him,“Unless I wash you, you have no part with me.”

isv@John:13:9 @ Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, not just my feet, but my hands and my head as well!”

isv@John:13:26 @ Jesus answered,“He is the one to whom I will give this piece of bread after I have dipped it in the dish.”Then he took a piece of bread, dipped it, and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.

isv@John:13:30 @ So Judas took the piece of bread and immediately went outside. And it was night.

isv@John:13:36 @ Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, where are you going?”Jesus answered him,“I am going where you cannot follow me now, though you will follow later on.”

isv@John:13:38 @ Jesus answered him,“Would you lay down your life for me? Truly, truly I tell you, a rooster will certainly not crow until you have denied me three times.”

isv@John:14:2 @ There are many rooms in my Father's house. If there were not, would I have told you that I am going away to prepare a place for you?

isv@John:14:3 @ And if I am going away to prepare a place for you, I will come again and will welcome you into my presence, so that you may be where I am.

isv@John:14:5 @ Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don't know where you are going, so how can we know the way?”

isv@John:14:10 @ You believe, don't you, that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own. It is the Father who dwells in me who does his works.

isv@John:14:23 @ Jesus answered him,“If anyone loves me, he will keep my word. Then my Father will love him, and we will go to him and make our home within him.

isv@John:14:30 @ I will not talk with you much longer, for the ruler of this world is coming. He has no power over me.

isv@John:15:1 @ “I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinegrower.

isv@John:16:7 @ However, I am telling you the truth. It is for your advantage that I am going away, for if I do not go away the Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.

isv@John:16:18 @ They kept saying, “What is this‘in a little while’ that he keeps talking about? We don't know what he means.”

isv@John:16:29 @ His disciples said, “Well, now you're speaking plainly and not using figurative language.

isv@John:16:30 @ Now we know that you know everything and do not need to have anyone ask you questions. Because of this, we believe that you have come from God.”

isv@John:16:31 @ Jesus answered them,“Do you now believe?

isv@John:17:6 @ I have made your name known to the men you gave me from the world. They were yours, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word.

isv@John:17:11 @ I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by your name, the namethat you gave me, so that they may be one, as we are one.

isv@John:17:22 @ I have given them the glory that you gave me, so that they may be one, just as we are one.

isv@John:18:1 @ After Jesus had said this, he went with his disciples across the Kidron valley to a place where there was a garden, which he and his disciples entered.

isv@John:18:3 @ So Judas took a detachment of soldiers and some officers from the high priests and the Pharisees and went there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.

isv@John:18:4 @ Then Jesus, knowing everything that was going to happen, went forward and said to them,“Who are you looking for?”

isv@John:18:5 @ They answered him, “Jesus from Nazareth.”Jesus said to them,“I am he.” Judas, the man who betrayed him, was standing with them.

isv@John:18:15 @ Simon Peter and another disciple were following Jesus. Since the other disciple was known to the high priest, he accompanied Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest.

isv@John:18:16 @ Peter, however, stood outside the gate. So this other disciple who was known to the high priest went out and spoke to the gatekeeper and brought Peter inside.

isv@John:18:18 @ Meanwhile, the servants and officers were standing around a charcoal fire they had built and were warming themselves because it was cold. Peter was also standing with them, keeping himself warm.

isv@John:18:20 @ Jesus answered him,“I have spoken publicly to the world. I have always taught in the synagogue or in the temple, where all Jews meet together, and I have said nothing in secret.

isv@John:18:22 @ When he said this, one of the officers standing nearby slapped Jesus on the face and said, “Is that any way to answer the high priest?”

isv@John:18:23 @ Jesus answered him,“If I have said anything wrong, tell me what it was.But if I have told the truth, why do you hit me?”

isv@John:18:27 @ Peter again denied it, and immediately a rooster crowed.

isv@John:18:30 @ They answered him, “If he weren't a criminal, we wouldn't have handed him over to you.”

isv@John:18:33 @ So Pilate went back into the governor's headquarters, summoned Jesus, and said to him, “Are you the king of the Jews?”

isv@John:18:36 @ Jesus answered,“My kingdom does not belong to this world. If my kingdom belonged to this world, my servants would fight to keep me from being handed over to the Jews.But for now my kingdom is not from here.”

isv@John:18:37 @ Pilate said to him, “So you are a king?”Jesus answered,“You say that I am a king. I was born for this, and I came into the world for this: to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice.”

isv@John:18:38 @ Pilate said to him, “What is ‘truth’?” After he said this, he went out to the Jews again and told them, “I find no basis for a charge against him.

isv@John:19:4 @ Pilate went outside again and told the Jews, “Look, I am bringing him out to you to let you know that I find no basis for a charge against him.”

isv@John:19:5 @ Then Jesus came outside, wearing the victor's crown of thorns and the purple robe.Pilate said to them, “Here is the man!”

isv@John:19:7 @ The Jews answered Pilate, “We have a law, and according to that law he must die because he made himself out to be the Son of God.”

isv@John:19:11 @ Jesus answered him,“You have no authority over me at all, except what was given to you from above. That's why the one who handed me over to you is guilty of a greater sin.”

isv@John:19:14 @ Now it was the Preparation Day for the Passover, about twelve noon. He said to the Jews, “Here is your king!”

isv@John:19:15 @ Then they shouted, “Take him away! Take him away! Crucify him!”Pilate said to them, “Should I crucify your king?”The high priests responded, “We have no king but Caesar!”

isv@John:19:17 @ Carrying the cross all by himself, he went out to what is called The Place of a Skull, which in Hebrew is called Golgotha.

isv@John:19:23 @ When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took his clothes and divided them into four parts, one for each soldier, and took his cloak as well. The cloak was seamless, woven in one piece from the top down.

isv@John:19:25 @ Meanwhile, standing near Jesus’ cross were his mother, his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.

isv@John:19:30 @ After Jesus had taken the wine, he said,“It is finished.” Then he bowed his head and released his spirit.

isv@John:19:32 @ So the soldiers went and broke the legs of the first man and then of the other man who had been crucified with him.

isv@John:19:39 @ Nicodemus, the man who had first come to Jesus at night, also arrived, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes weighing about a hundred pounds.

isv@John:20:1 @ On the first day of the week, early in the morning and while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and noticed that the stone had been removed from the tomb.

isv@John:20:2 @ So she ran off and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple, whom Jesus kept loving. She told them, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don't know where they have put him!”

isv@John:20:4 @ The two of them were running together, but the other disciple ran faster than Peter and came to the tomb first.

isv@John:20:6 @ At this point Simon Peter arrived, following him, and went straight into the tomb. He observed that the linen cloths were lying there,

isv@John:20:8 @ Then the other disciple, who arrived at the tomb first, went inside, looked, and believed.

isv@John:20:10 @ So the disciples went back to their homes.

isv@John:20:12 @ She saw two angels in white clothes who were sitting down, one at the head and the other at the foot of the place where Jesus’ body had been lying.

isv@John:20:18 @ So Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord!” She also told them what he had said to her.

isv@John:20:19 @ It was the evening of the first day of the week, and the doors of the house where the disciples had met were locked because they were afraid of the Jews. Jesus came and stood among them. He said to them,“Peace be with you.”

isv@John:20:20 @ After saying this, he showed them his hands and his side, and when they saw the Lord the disciples were overjoyed.

isv@John:20:24 @ Thomas, one of the twelve, who was called the Twin, wasn't with them when Jesus came.

isv@John:20:25 @ So the other disciples kept telling him, “We have seen the Lord!”But he told them, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands, put my finger into them, and put my hand into his side, I will never believe!”

isv@John:20:26 @ A week later his disciples were again inside, and Thomas was with them. Even though the doors were shut, Jesus came, stood among them, and said,“Peace be with you.”

isv@John:20:28 @ Thomas answered him, saying “My Lord and my God!”

isv@John:21:2 @ Simon Peter, Thomas (called the Twin), Nathaniel from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two of his other disciples were together.

isv@John:21:3 @ Simon Peter said to them, “I'm going fishing.”They told him, “We'll go with you, too.” So they went out and got into the boat but didn't catch a thing that night.

isv@John:21:5 @ Jesus said to them, “Children, you don't have any fish, do you?”They answered him, “No.”

isv@John:21:6 @ He told them,“Throw the net on the right hand side of the boat, and you'll catchsome.” So they threw it out and were unable to haul it in because it was so full of fish.

isv@John:21:8 @ But the other disciples came in the boat, dragging the net full of fish. They were only about a hundred yards away from the shore.

isv@John:21:11 @ So Simon Peter went aboard and dragged the net ashore. It was full of large fish—153 of them. And although there were so many of them, the net was not torn.

isv@John:21:13 @ Jesus went and took the bread and gave it to them, and did the same with the fish.

isv@John:21:18 @ “Truly, truly I tell you, when you were young, you would fasten your belt and go wherever you liked. But when you get old, you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will fasten your belt and take you where you don't want to go.”

isv@John:21:24 @ This is the disciple who is testifying to these things and has written them down. We know that his testimony is true.

isv@John:21:25 @ Of course, Jesus also did many other things, and I suppose that if every one of them were written down the world couldn't contain the books that would be written.

isv@Acts:1:7 @ He answered them,“It is not for you to know what times or periods the Father has set by his own authority.

isv@Acts:1:8 @ But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

isv@Acts:1:9 @ After saying this, he was taken up while they were watching, and a cloud took him out of their sight.

isv@Acts:1:10 @ While he was going and they were gazing up toward heaven, two men in white robes were standing right beside them.

isv@Acts:1:13 @ When they came into the city, they went to the upstairs room where they had been staying. They were Peter and John; James and Andrew; Philip and Thomas; Bartholomew and Matthew; James the son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot; and Judas the son of James.

isv@Acts:1:15 @ At that time Peter got up among the brothers (there were about 120 people present) and said,

isv@Acts:1:21 @ Therefore, one of the men who has associated with us all the time the Lord Jesus came and went among us,

isv@Acts:2:1 @ When the day of Pentecost came, all of them were together in one place.

isv@Acts:2:2 @ Suddenly, a sound like the roaring of a mighty windstorm came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting.

isv@Acts:2:4 @ All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them that ability.

isv@Acts:2:5 @ Now devout Jews from every nation under heaven were living in Jerusalem.

isv@Acts:2:9 @ We are Parthians, Medes, Elamites, people from Mesopotamia, Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus, Asia,

isv@Acts:2:11 @ We are Jews, proselytes, Cretans, and Arabs. Yet we hear them telling in our own tongues the great deeds of God!”

isv@Acts:2:13 @ But others kept saying in derision, “They're full of sweet wine!”

isv@Acts:2:24 @ But God raised him up and destroyed the pains of death, since it was impossible for him to be held in its power.

isv@Acts:2:32 @ It was this very Jesus whom God raised, and of that we are all witnesses.

isv@Acts:2:37 @ When they heard this, they were pierced to the heart. They asked Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what should we do?”

isv@Acts:2:38 @ Peter answered them, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. Then you will receive the Holy Spirit as a gift.

isv@Acts:2:39 @ For this promise belongs to you and your children, as well as to all those who are far away, whom the Lord our God may call to himself.”

isv@Acts:2:41 @ So those who welcomed his message were baptized, and that day about 3,000 persons were added to them.

isv@Acts:2:43 @ A sense of fear came over everyone, and many wonders and signs were being done by the apostles.

isv@Acts:2:44 @ All the believers were together, and they shared everything with one another.

isv@Acts:2:46 @ They had a single purpose and went to the temple every day. They ate at each other's homes and shared their food with glad and humble hearts.

isv@Acts:2:47 @ They kept praising God and enjoying the good will of all the people. And every day the Lord was adding to them people who were being saved.

isv@Acts:3:1 @ Peter and John were going up to the temple for the hour of prayer at three in the afternoon.

isv@Acts:3:2 @ Now a man who had been crippled from birth was being carried in. Every day people would lay him at what was called the Beautiful Gate so that he could beg from those who were going into the temple.

isv@Acts:3:3 @ When he saw that Peter and John were about to go into the temple, he asked them to give him something.

isv@Acts:3:6 @ However, Peter said, “I don't have any silver or gold, but I'll give you what I do have. In the name of Jesus Christ from Nazareth, walk!”

isv@Acts:3:8 @ and he sprung to his feet, stood up, and began to walk. Then he went with them into the temple, walking, jumping, and praising God.

isv@Acts:3:10 @ they knew that he was the man who used to sit and beg at the Beautiful Gate of the temple, and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.

isv@Acts:3:11 @ While he was holding on to Peter and John, all the people came running together to them in what was called Solomon's Colonnade. They were dumbfounded.

isv@Acts:3:12 @ When Peter saw this, he said to the people: “Fellow Israelites, why are you wondering about this, and why are you staring at us as if by our own power or godliness we made him walk?

isv@Acts:3:15 @ and you killed the source of life, whom God raised from the dead. We are witnesses to that.

isv@Acts:3:24 @ “Indeed, all the prophets who have spoken, from Samuel and those who followed him, also predicted these days.

isv@Acts:4:1 @ While they were speaking to the people, the priests, the commander of the temple guards, and the Sadducees came to them.

isv@Acts:4:2 @ They were greatly disturbed that Peter and John were teaching the people and declaring that in the case of Jesus there had been a resurrection from the dead.

isv@Acts:4:7 @ They made them stand in front of them and began asking, “By what power or by what name did you do this?”

isv@Acts:4:9 @ If we are being questioned today for a good deed to someone who was sick or to learn how this man was healed,

isv@Acts:4:12 @ There is no salvation by anyone else, for there is no other name under heaven given among people by which we must be saved.”

isv@Acts:4:13 @ Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John and found out that they were uneducated and ordinary men, they were amazed and realized that they had been with Jesus.

isv@Acts:4:16 @ They said, “What should we do with these men? For it's obvious to everybody living in Jerusalem that an unmistakable sign has been done by them, and we can't deny it.

isv@Acts:4:19 @ But Peter and John answered them, “You must decide whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than God,

isv@Acts:4:20 @ for we cannot stop talking about what we have seen and heard.”

isv@Acts:4:23 @ After they were released, they went to their own people and told them everything the high priests and the elders had said.

isv@Acts:4:31 @ When they had prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken, and all of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and continued to speak the word of God with boldness.

isv@Acts:4:33 @ With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and abundant grace was on them all.

isv@Acts:5:8 @ So Peter asked her, “Tell me, did you sell the land for that price?”She answered, “Yes, that was the price.”

isv@Acts:5:9 @ Then Peter said to her, “How could you have agreed together to test the Spirit of the Lord? Listen! The feet of the men who buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you outside as well.”

isv@Acts:5:12 @ Now many signs and wonders were continuously being performed by the apostles among the people. And they were all together in Solomon's Colonnade.

isv@Acts:5:14 @ Nevertheless, still more believers, a vast number of both men and women, were being added to the Lord.

isv@Acts:5:15 @ As a result, people kept carrying their sick into the streets and placing them on stretchers and cots so that at least Peter's shadow might fall on some of them as he went by.

isv@Acts:5:16 @ Even from the towns around Jerusalem crowds continued coming in to bring their sick and those who were troubled by unclean spirits, and all of them were healed.

isv@Acts:5:17 @ Then the high priest and all those from the sect of the Sadducees who were with him were filled with jealousy. So they went out,

isv@Acts:5:21 @ After they heard this, they went into the temple at daybreak and began to teach. The high priest and those who were with him arrived, called the Council and all the elders of Israel together, and sent word to the prison to have the men brought in.

isv@Acts:5:23 @ “We found the prison securely locked and the guards standing at the doors, but when we opened them, we found no one inside.”

isv@Acts:5:24 @ When the commander of the temple guards and the high priests heard these words, they were utterly at a loss as to what could have happened to them.

isv@Acts:5:26 @ So the commander of the temple guards went with his men to bring them back without force, because they were afraid of being stoned to death by the people.

isv@Acts:5:28 @ He said, “We gave you strict orders not to teach in his name, didn't we? Yet you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and are determined to bring this man's blood on us!”

isv@Acts:5:29 @ But Peter and the apostles answered, “We must obey God rather than men.

isv@Acts:5:32 @ We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who keep on obeying him.”

isv@Acts:5:36 @ For in days gone by Theudas appeared, claiming that he was important, and about 400 men joined him. He was killed, and all his followers were dispersed and disappeared.

isv@Acts:5:37 @ After that man, at the time of the census, Judas the Galilean appeared and got people to follow him. He, too, died, and all his followers were scattered.

isv@Acts:5:39 @ However, if it is from God, you won't be able to stop them, and you may even discover that you are fighting against God!” So they were convinced by him.

isv@Acts:6:1 @ In those days, as the number of the disciples was growing larger and larger, a complaint was made by the Hellenistic Jews against the Hebraic Jews that their widows were being neglected in the daily distribution of food.

isv@Acts:6:2 @ So the twelve called the whole group of disciples together and said, “It is not desirable for us to neglect the word of God in order to wait on tables.

isv@Acts:6:3 @ Therefore, brothers, appoint seven men among you who have a good reputation, who are full of the Spirit and wisdom, and we will put them in charge of this work.

isv@Acts:6:4 @ Then we will devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word.”

isv@Acts:6:8 @ Now Stephen, full of grace and power, was performing great wonders and signs among the people.

isv@Acts:6:9 @ But some men who belonged to the Synagogue of the Freedmen (as it was called), as well as some Cyrenians, Alexandrians, and men from Cilicia and Asia, stood up and began to debate with Stephen.

isv@Acts:6:11 @ So they secretly got some men to say, “We have heard him speaking blasphemous words against Moses and God.”

isv@Acts:6:14 @ For we have heard him say that this Jesus from Nazareth will destroy this place and change the customs that Moses handed down to us.”

isv@Acts:6:15 @ Then all who were seated in the Council glared at him and saw that his face was like the face of an angel.

isv@Acts:7:8 @ Then he gave Abraham the covenant of circumcision, and he became the father of Isaac and circumcised him on the eighth day. Then Isaac became the father of Jacob, and Jacob of the twelve patriarchs.

isv@Acts:7:9 @ “The patriarchs became jealous of Joseph and sold him as a slave into Egypt. However, God was with him

isv@Acts:7:10 @ and rescued him from all his troubles. He allowed him to win favor and show wisdom before Pharaoh, king of Egypt, who appointed him ruler of Egypt and of his whole household.

isv@Acts:7:15 @ So Jacob went down to Egypt. Then he and our ancestors died.

isv@Acts:7:16 @ They were brought back to Shechem and laid in the tomb that Abraham had bought for a sum of money from the sons of Hamor in Shechem.

isv@Acts:7:26 @ The next day he showed himself to some of them while they were fighting and tried to reconcile them, saying, ‘Men, you are brothers. Why should you harm each other?’

isv@Acts:7:40 @ They said to Aaron, ‘Make gods for us who will lead us. This Moses who led us out of the land of Egypt—we don't know what happened to him!’

isv@Acts:7:46 @ He found favor with God and asked to design a dwelling for the house of Jacob,

isv@Acts:7:48 @ However, the Most High does not live in buildings made by human hands. As the prophet says,

isv@Acts:7:54 @ While they were listening to these things, they became more and more furious and began to grind their teeth at him.

isv@Acts:8:1 @ Now Saul heartily approved of putting him to death. That day a severe persecution broke out against the church in Jerusalem, and all of them, except for the apostles, were scattered throughout the countryside of Judea and Samaria.

isv@Acts:8:4 @ Now those who were scattered went from place to place preaching the word.

isv@Acts:8:5 @ Philip went down to the city of Samaria and began to preach the Christ to the people.

isv@Acts:8:7 @ Unclean spirits screamed with a loud voice as they came out of the many people they had possessed, and many paralyzed and lame people were healed.

isv@Acts:8:10 @ Everyone from the least to the greatest paid close attention to him, saying, “This man is the power of God, which is called great!”

isv@Acts:8:12 @ But when Philip proclaimed the good news of the kingdom of God and of the name of Jesus Christ, men and women believed and were baptized.

isv@Acts:8:13 @ Even Simon believed, and after he was baptized he became devoted to Philip. He was amazed to see the signs and great miracles that were happening.

isv@Acts:8:15 @ They went down and prayed for them to receive the Holy Spirit.

isv@Acts:8:19 @ and said, “Give me this power too, so that when I lay my hands on someone he will receive the Holy Spirit.”

isv@Acts:8:24 @ Simon answered, “Both of you pray to the Lord for me that none of the things you have said will happen to me.”

isv@Acts:8:27 @ So he got up and went. Now an Ethiopian eunuch was there. He was a member of the court of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, and was in charge of all her treasures. He had come to Jerusalem to worship

isv@Acts:8:36 @ As they were going along the road, they came to some water. The eunuch said, “Look, there's some water. What keeps me from being baptized?”

isv@Acts:8:38 @ So he ordered the chariot to stop, and Philip and the eunuch both went down into the water, and Philip baptized him.

isv@Acts:8:39 @ When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away. The eunuch went on his way rejoicing and did not see Philip again.

isv@Acts:9:1 @ Now Saul, still breathing threats of murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest

isv@Acts:9:7 @ Meanwhile, the men who were traveling with him were standing speechless, for they heard the voice but didn't see anyone.

isv@Acts:9:8 @ When Saul got up off the ground, he couldn't see anything, even though his eyes were open. So they took him by the hand and led him into Damascus.

isv@Acts:9:10 @ Now in Damascus there was a disciple named Ananias. The Lord said to him in a vision,“Ananias!”He answered, “Here I am, Lord.”

isv@Acts:9:13 @ But Ananias answered, “Lord, I have heard many people tell how much evil this man has done to your saints in Jerusalem.

isv@Acts:9:17 @ So Ananias left and went to that house. He laid his hands on Saul and said, “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you were traveling, has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”

isv@Acts:9:21 @ All who heard him were astonished and said, “This is the man who harassed those who called on his name in Jerusalem, isn't it? Didn't he come here to bring them in chains to the high priests?”

isv@Acts:9:22 @ But Saul grew more and more powerful and continued to confound the Jews who lived in Damascus by proving that this man was the Christ.

isv@Acts:9:24 @ but their plot became known to Saul. They were even watching the gates day and night to murder him,

isv@Acts:9:25 @ but his disciples took him one night and let him down through the wall by lowering him in a basket.

isv@Acts:9:26 @ When he arrived in Jerusalem, he tried to join the disciples, but they all were afraid of him because they wouldn't believe he was a disciple.

isv@Acts:9:27 @ Barnabas, however, took him and presented him to the apostles, telling them how on the road he had seen the Lord, who had spoken to him, and how courageously he had spoken in the name of Jesus in Damascus.

isv@Acts:9:28 @ So he went in and out among them in Jerusalem, speaking courageously in the name of the Lord.

isv@Acts:9:29 @ He kept talking and arguing with the Hellenistic Jews, but they were bent on murdering him.

isv@Acts:9:39 @ So Peter got up and went with them. When he arrived, they took him upstairs. All the widows stood around him, crying and showing him all the shirts and coats Dorcas made while she was still with them.

isv@Acts:10:4 @ He stared at the angel in terror and asked, “What is it, Lord?”He answered him, “Your prayers and your gifts to the poor have come up as a memorial before God.

isv@Acts:10:9 @ Around noon the next day, while they were on their way and coming close to the town, Peter went up on the roof to pray.

isv@Acts:10:11 @ and saw heaven open and something like a large linen sheet coming down, being lowered by its four corners to the ground.

isv@Acts:10:12 @ In it were all kinds of four-footed animals, reptiles, and birds of the air.

isv@Acts:10:17 @ While Peter was still at a loss to know what the vision he had seen could mean, the men sent by Cornelius asked for Simon's house and went to the gate.

isv@Acts:10:21 @ So Peter went to the men and said, “I'm the man you're looking for. Why are you here?”

isv@Acts:10:23 @ So Peter invited them in, and they were his guests. The next day he got up and went with them, and some of the brothers from Joppa went along with him.

isv@Acts:10:25 @ When Peter was about to go in, Cornelius met him, bowed down at his feet, and began to worship him.

isv@Acts:10:27 @ As Peter talked with him, he went in and found that many people had gathered.

isv@Acts:10:38 @ God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, and he went around doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, because God was with him.

isv@Acts:10:39 @ We are witnesses of everything he did both in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They hung him on a tree and killed him,

isv@Acts:10:40 @ but God raised him on the third day and allowed him to appear—

isv@Acts:10:41 @ not to all the people, but to us who were chosen by God to be witnesses and who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.

isv@Acts:10:44 @ While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all the people who were listening to his message.

isv@Acts:10:45 @ Then the circumcised believers who had come with Peter were amazed that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out on the Gentiles, too.

isv@Acts:10:47 @ “No one can stop us from using water to baptize these people who have received the Holy Spirit in the same way that we did, can he?”

isv@Acts:11:1 @ Now the apostles and the brothers who were in Judea heard that the Gentiles had also accepted the word of God.

isv@Acts:11:2 @ But when Peter went up to Jerusalem, those who emphasized circumcision disagreed with him.

isv@Acts:11:3 @ They said, “You went to uncircumcised men and ate with them!”

isv@Acts:11:5 @ “I was in the town of Joppa praying when in a trance I saw a vision: Something like a large linen sheet was coming down from heaven, being lowered by its four corners, and it came right down to me.

isv@Acts:11:9 @ Then the voice from heaven answered a second time,‘You must stop calling common what God has made clean!’

isv@Acts:11:11 @ “At that very moment three men arrived at the house where we were staying. They had been sent to me from Caesarea.

isv@Acts:11:12 @ The Spirit told me to go with them and not to treat them differently. These six brothers went with me, too, and we went into the man's house.

isv@Acts:11:17 @ Now if God gave them the same gift that he gave us when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I to try to stop God?”

isv@Acts:11:19 @ Now the people who were scattered by the persecution that started because of Stephen went as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to no one except Jews.

isv@Acts:11:20 @ But among them were some men from Cyprus and Cyrene who came to Antioch and began talking to the Hellenistic Jews too, proclaiming the Lord Jesus.

isv@Acts:11:26 @ When he found him, he brought him to Antioch, and for a whole year they were guests of the church and taught a large crowd. It was in Antioch that the disciples were first called Christians.

isv@Acts:12:6 @ That very night, before Herod was going to bring him out, Peter, bound with two chains, was sleeping between two soldiers, and guards in front of the door were watching the prisoners.

isv@Acts:12:9 @ So he went out and began to follow him, not realizing that what was being done by the angel was real; he thought he was seeing a vision.

isv@Acts:12:10 @ They passed the first guard, then the second, and came to the iron gate that led into the city. It opened by itself for them, and they went outside and proceeded one block when the angel suddenly left him.

isv@Acts:12:11 @ Then Peter came to himself and said, “Now I'm sure that the Lord has sent his angel and rescued me from the hands of Herod and from everything the Jewish people were expecting!”

isv@Acts:12:12 @ When he realized what had happened, he went to the house of Mary, the mother of John who was also called Mark, where a large number of people had gathered and were praying.

isv@Acts:12:13 @ When he knocked at the outer gate, a servant-girl named Rhoda came to answer it.

isv@Acts:12:16 @ Meanwhile, Peter kept on knocking and knocking. When they opened the gate, they saw him and were amazed.

isv@Acts:12:17 @ He motioned to them with his hand to be quiet, and then he told them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. He added, “Tell this to James and the brothers.” Then he left and went somewhere else.

isv@Acts:12:19 @ Herod searched for him but didn't find him, so he questioned the guards and ordered them to be executed. Then he left Judea, went down to Caesarea, and stayed there for a while.

isv@Acts:13:1 @ Now Barnabas, Simeon called Niger, Lucius from Cyrene, Manaen who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul were prophets and teachers in the church at Antioch.

isv@Acts:13:2 @ While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set Barnabas and Saul apart for me to do the work for which I called them.”

isv@Acts:13:4 @ Being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went to Seleucia and from there sailed to Cyprus.

isv@Acts:13:6 @ They went through the whole island as far as Paphos, where they found a Jewish occult practitioner and false prophet named Bar-Jesus.

isv@Acts:13:11 @ The hand of the Lord is against you now, and you will be blind and not see the sun for a while!” At that moment a dark mist came over him, and he went around looking for someone to lead him by the hand.

isv@Acts:13:13 @ Then Paul and his men set sail from Paphos and arrived in Perga in Pamphylia. But John left them and went back to Jerusalem.

isv@Acts:13:14 @ They left Perga and arrived in Antioch in Pisidia. On the Sabbath day they went into the synagogue and sat down.

isv@Acts:13:32 @ We are telling you the good news: What God promised our ancestors

isv@Acts:13:37 @ However, the man whom God raised did not experience decay.

isv@Acts:13:42 @ As Paul and Barnabas were leaving, the people kept urging them to tell them the same things the next Sabbath.

isv@Acts:13:43 @ When the meeting of the synagogue broke up, many Jews and devout converts to Judaism followed Paul and Barnabas, who kept talking to them and urging them to continue in the grace of God.

isv@Acts:13:45 @ But when the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy and began to object to the statements made by Paul and even to abuse him.

isv@Acts:13:46 @ Then Paul and Barnabas boldly declared, “We had to speak God's word to you first, but since you reject it and consider yourselves unworthy of eternal life, we are now going to turn to the Gentiles.

isv@Acts:13:51 @ So they shook the dust off their feet in protest against them and went to Iconium.

isv@Acts:14:1 @ In Iconium they went into the Jewish synagogue and spoke in such a way that a great number of both Jews and Greeks believed.

isv@Acts:14:4 @ But the people of the city were divided. Some were with the Jews, while others were with the apostles.

isv@Acts:14:15 @ “Men, why are you doing this? We are merely human beings with natures like your own. We are telling you the good news to turn from these worthless things to the living God, who made heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them.

isv@Acts:14:16 @ In past generations he allowed all the nations to go their own ways,

isv@Acts:14:20 @ But the disciples formed a circle around him, and he got up and went back to town. The next day he went on with Barnabas to Derbe.

isv@Acts:14:21 @ As they were proclaiming the good news in that city, they discipled a large number of people. Then they went back to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch,

isv@Acts:14:22 @ strengthening the souls of the disciples and encouraging them to continue in the faith, saying, “We must endure many hardships to get into the kingdom of God.”

isv@Acts:14:25 @ They spoke the word in Perga and went down to Attalia.

isv@Acts:15:2 @ Paul and Barnabas had quite a dispute and argument with them. So Paul and Barnabas and some of the others were appointed to go up to Jerusalem to confer with the apostles and elders about this question.

isv@Acts:15:3 @ They were sent on their way by the church, and as they were going through Phoenecia and Samaria they told of the conversion of the Gentiles and brought great joy to all the brothers.

isv@Acts:15:4 @ When they arrived in Jerusalem, they were welcomed by the church, the apostles, and the elders, and they reported everything that God had done through them.

isv@Acts:15:8 @ God, who knows everyone's heart, showed them he approved by giving them the Holy Spirit, just as he did to us.

isv@Acts:15:9 @ He made no distinction between them and us, because he cleansed their hearts by faith.

isv@Acts:15:10 @ So why do you test God by putting on the disciples’ neck a yoke that neither our ancestors nor we could carry?

isv@Acts:15:11 @ We certainly believe that it is through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ that we are saved, just as they are.”

isv@Acts:15:14 @ Simeon has explained how God first showed his concern for the Gentiles by taking from among them a people for his name.

isv@Acts:15:19 @ Therefore, I have decided that we should not trouble these Gentiles who are turning to God.

isv@Acts:15:20 @ Instead, we should write to them to keep away from things polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from anything strangled, and from blood.

isv@Acts:15:22 @ Then the apostles, the elders, and the whole church decided to choose some of their men to send with Paul and Barnabas to Antioch. These were Judas, who was called Barsabbas, and Silas, who were leaders among the brothers.

isv@Acts:15:24 @ We have heard that some men, coming from us without instructions from us, have said things to trouble you and have unsettled your minds.

isv@Acts:15:25 @ So we have unanimously decided to choose men and send them to you with our dear Barnabas and Paul,

isv@Acts:15:27 @ We have therefore sent Judas and Silas to tell you the same things by word of mouth.

isv@Acts:15:30 @ So the men were sent on their way and arrived in Antioch. They gathered the congregation together and delivered the letter.

isv@Acts:15:31 @ When the people read it, they were pleased with the encouragement it brought them.

isv@Acts:15:32 @ Then Judas and Silas, who were also prophets, said much to encourage and strengthen the brothers.

isv@Acts:15:33 @ After staying there for some time, they were sent back with a greeting from the brothers to those who had sent them.

isv@Acts:15:36 @ Some days after this, Paul said to Barnabas, “Let's go back and visit the brothers in every town where we proclaimed the word of the Lord and see how they're doing.”

isv@Acts:15:41 @ He went through Syria and Cilicia and strengthened the churches.

isv@Acts:16:1 @ He also went to Derbe and Lystra. Here there was a disciple named Timothy, the son of a Jewish woman who was a believer, although his father was a Greek.

isv@Acts:16:4 @ As they went from town to town, they delivered the decisions reached by the apostles and elders in Jerusalem for them to obey.

isv@Acts:16:6 @ Then they went through the region of Phrygia and Galatia because they had been prevented by the Holy Spirit from speaking the word in Asia.

isv@Acts:16:7 @ They went as far as Mysia and tried to enter Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus did not let them.

isv@Acts:16:8 @ So they passed by Mysia and went down to Troas.

isv@Acts:16:10 @ As soon as he had seen the vision, we immediately looked for a way to go to Macedonia, for we were convinced that God had called us to tell them the good news.

isv@Acts:16:11 @ Sailing from Troas, we went straight to Samothrace, the next day to Neapolis,

isv@Acts:16:12 @ and from there to Philippi, a leading city of the district of Macedonia and a Roman colony. We were in this city for several days.

isv@Acts:16:13 @ On the Sabbath day we went out of the gate and along the river, where we thought there was a place of prayer. We sat down and began talking to the women who had gathered there.

isv@Acts:16:15 @ When she and her family were baptized, she urged us, “If you are convinced that I am a believer in the Lord, come and stay at my home.” And she continued to insist that we do so.

isv@Acts:16:16 @ Once, as we were going to the place of prayer, we met a slave girl who had a spirit of fortune-telling and who had brought her owners a great deal of money by predicting the future.

isv@Acts:16:21 @ and are advocating customs that we are not allowed to accept or practice as Romans.”

isv@Acts:16:25 @ Around midnight, Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them.

isv@Acts:16:26 @ Suddenly, there was an earthquake so violent that the foundations of the prison were shaken. All the doors immediately flew open, and everyone's chains were unfastened.

isv@Acts:16:28 @ But Paul shouted in a loud voice, “Don't hurt yourself, for we are all here!”

isv@Acts:16:31 @ They answered, “Believe on the Lord Jesus, and you and your family will be saved.”

isv@Acts:16:33 @ At that hour of the night he took them and washed their wounds. Then he and his entire family were baptized immediately.

isv@Acts:16:34 @ He brought them upstairs into his house and set food before them, and he and everyone in his house were thrilled to be believers in God.

isv@Acts:16:37 @ But Paul told them, “They have had us beaten publicly without a trial and have thrown us into jail, even though we are Roman citizens. Now are they going to throw us out secretly? Certainly not! Have them come and escort us out.”

isv@Acts:16:38 @ The guards reported these words to the magistrates, and they were afraid when they heard that they were Roman citizens.

isv@Acts:16:40 @ Leaving the jail, they went to Lydia's house. They saw the brothers, encouraged them, and then left.

isv@Acts:17:2 @ As usual, Paul went in and on three Sabbaths discussed the Scriptures with them.

isv@Acts:17:3 @ He explained and showed them that the Christ had to suffer and rise from the dead. He said, “This very Jesus whom I proclaim to you is the Christ.”

isv@Acts:17:4 @ Some of them were persuaded to join Paul and Silas, especially a large crowd of devout Greeks and the wives of many prominent men.

isv@Acts:17:7 @ and Jason has welcomed them as his guests. All of them oppose the emperor's decrees by saying that there is another king—Jesus!”

isv@Acts:17:8 @ The crowd and the city officials were upset when they heard this,

isv@Acts:17:10 @ That night the brothers immediately sent Paul and Silas away to Berea. When they arrived, they went into the Jewish synagogue.

isv@Acts:17:11 @ These people were more receptive than those in Thessalonica. They were very willing to receive the message, and every day they carefully examined the Scriptures to see if those things were so.

isv@Acts:17:13 @ But when the Jews in Thessalonica found out that the word of God had been proclaimed by Paul also in Berea, they went there to upset and incite the crowds.

isv@Acts:17:17 @ So he began holding discussions in the synagogue with the Jews and other worshipers, as well as every day in the public square with anyone who happened to be there.

isv@Acts:17:19 @ Then they took him, brought him before the Areopagus, and asked, “May we know what this new teaching of yours is?

isv@Acts:17:20 @ It sounds rather strange to our ears, and we would like to know what it means.”

isv@Acts:17:28 @ For we live, move, and exist because of him, as some of your own poets have said: ‘For we are his children, too.’

isv@Acts:17:29 @ So if we are God's children, we shouldn't think that the divine being is like gold, silver, or stone, or is an image carved by human imagination and skill.

isv@Acts:17:32 @ When they heard about a resurrection of the dead, some began joking about it, while others said, “We will hear you again about this.”

isv@Acts:17:34 @ Some men joined him and became believers. With them were Dionysius, who was a member of the Areopagus, a woman named Damaris, and some others along with them.

isv@Acts:18:1 @ After this Paul left Athens and went to Corinth.

isv@Acts:18:2 @ There he found a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla because Claudius had ordered all the Jews to leave Rome. Paul went to visit them,

isv@Acts:18:3 @ and because they had the same trade he stayed with them. They worked together because they were tentmakers by trade.

isv@Acts:18:7 @ Then he left that place and went to the home of a man named Titius Justus, who worshiped God and whose house was next door to the synagogue.

isv@Acts:18:8 @ Now Crispus, the leader of the synagogue, believed in the Lord, along with his whole family. Many Corinthians who heard Paul also believed and were baptized.

isv@Acts:18:14 @ Paul was about to open his mouth when Gallio said to the Jews, “If there were some misdemeanor or crime involved, it would be reasonable to put up with you Jews.

isv@Acts:18:19 @ When they arrived in Ephesus, he left them there. Then he went into the synagogue and had a discussion with the Jews.

isv@Acts:18:22 @ When he arrived in Caesarea, he went up to Jerusalem, greeted the church, and then returned to Antioch.

isv@Acts:18:23 @ After spending some time there, he departed and went from place to place through the region of Galatia and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples.

isv@Acts:18:24 @ Meanwhile, a Jew named Apollos arrived in Ephesus. He was a native of Alexandria and an eloquent man, one powerful in the Scriptures.

isv@Acts:18:27 @ When he wanted to cross over to Achaia, the brothers wrote and urged the disciples to welcome him. On his arrival he greatly helped those who through grace had believed.

isv@Acts:19:2 @ and asked them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?”They answered him, “No, we haven't even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.”

isv@Acts:19:3 @ He then asked, “Then into what were you baptized?”They answered, “Into John's baptism.”

isv@Acts:19:5 @ On hearing this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

isv@Acts:19:7 @ There were about twelve men in all.

isv@Acts:19:8 @ He went into the synagogue and spoke there boldly for three months, holding discussions and persuading them about the kingdom of God.

isv@Acts:19:10 @ This went on for two years, so that all who lived in Asia, Jews and Greeks alike, heard the word of the Lord.

isv@Acts:19:12 @ When the handkerchiefs and aprons that had touched his skin were taken to the sick, their diseases left them, and the evil spirits went out of them.

isv@Acts:19:13 @ Then some Jews who went around trying to drive out demons attempted to use the name of the Lord Jesus on those who had evil spirits, saying, “I command you by that Jesus whom Paul preaches!”

isv@Acts:19:14 @ Seven sons of a Jewish high priest named Sceva were doing this.

isv@Acts:19:16 @ Then the man with the evil spirit jumped on them, got the better of them, and so violently overpowered all of them that they fled out of the house naked and bruised.

isv@Acts:19:19 @ Moreover, many people who had practiced occult arts gathered their books and burned them in front of everybody. They estimated the price of them and found they were worth 50,000 silver coins.

isv@Acts:19:25 @ He called a meeting of these men and others who were engaged in similar trades and said, “Men, you well know that we get a good income from this business.

isv@Acts:19:31 @ Even some officials of the province of Asia who were his friends sent him a message urging him not to risk his life in the theater.

isv@Acts:19:32 @ Meanwhile, some were shouting one thing, some another. For the assembly was confused, and most of them didn't know why they were meeting.

isv@Acts:19:40 @ For we are in danger of being charged with rioting today, and there is no good reason we can give to justify this commotion.”

isv@Acts:20:2 @ He went through those regions and encouraged the people with many words. Then he went to Greece

isv@Acts:20:5 @ These men went on ahead and were waiting for us in Troas.

isv@Acts:20:6 @ After the days of Unleavened Bread, we sailed from Philippi, and days later we joined them in Troas and stayed there for seven days.

isv@Acts:20:7 @ On the first day of the week, when we had met to break bread, Paul began to address the people. Since he intended to leave the next day, he went on speaking until midnight.

isv@Acts:20:8 @ Now there were many lamps in the upstairs room where we were meeting.

isv@Acts:20:10 @ But Paul went down, bent over him, took him into his arms, and said, “Stop being alarmed, for his life is in him.”

isv@Acts:20:11 @ Then he went back upstairs, broke the bread, and ate. He talked with them for a long time, until dawn, and then left.

isv@Acts:20:12 @ Then they took the boy away alive and were greatly relieved.

isv@Acts:20:13 @ We went ahead to the ship and sailed for Assos, where we were intending to pick up Paul. He had arranged it this way, since he had planned to travel there on foot.

isv@Acts:20:14 @ When he met us in Assos, we took him on board and went to Mitylene.

isv@Acts:20:15 @ We sailed from there and on the following day arrived off Chios. The next day we crossed over to Samos and stayed at Trogyllium. The day after that we came to Miletus.

isv@Acts:20:34 @ You yourselves know that I worked with my own hands to support myself and those who were with me.

isv@Acts:20:35 @ In every way I showed you that by working hard like this we should help the weak and remember the words that the Lord Jesus himself said,‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”

isv@Acts:20:38 @ They were especially sorrowful because of what he had said—that they would never see his face again. Then they took him to the ship.

isv@Acts:21:1 @ When we had torn ourselves away from them, we sailed straight to Cos, and the next day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara.

isv@Acts:21:2 @ There we found a ship going across to Phoenecia, so we went aboard and sailed away.

isv@Acts:21:3 @ We came in sight of Cyprus, and leaving it on our left we sailed on to Syria and landed at Tyre because the ship was to unload its cargo there.

isv@Acts:21:4 @ So we looked up the disciples and stayed there for seven days. Through the Spirit they kept telling Paul not to go to Jerusalem,

isv@Acts:21:5 @ but when our days there were ended we left and proceeded on our journey. All of them with their wives and children accompanied us out of the city. We knelt on the beach, prayed,

isv@Acts:21:6 @ and said goodbye to each other. Then we went aboard the ship, and they went back home.

isv@Acts:21:7 @ On finishing the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais, greeted the brothers, and stayed with them for one day.

isv@Acts:21:8 @ The next day we left and came to Caesarea. We went to the home of Philip the evangelist, one of the seven, and stayed with him.

isv@Acts:21:10 @ After we had been there for a number of days, a prophet named Agabus arrived from Judea.

isv@Acts:21:12 @ When we heard this, we and the people who lived there begged him not to go up to Jerusalem.

isv@Acts:21:14 @ When he could not be persuaded, we remained silent except to say, “May the Lord's will be done.”

isv@Acts:21:15 @ After those days, we got ready to go up to Jerusalem.

isv@Acts:21:16 @ Some of the disciples from Caesarea went with us. They took us to the home of Mnason to be his guests. He was from Cyprus and had been an early disciple.

isv@Acts:21:17 @ When we arrived in Jerusalem, the brothers welcomed us warmly.

isv@Acts:21:18 @ The next day Paul went with us to visit James, and all the elders were present.

isv@Acts:21:23 @ So do what we tell you. We have four men who are under a vow.

isv@Acts:21:25 @ As for the Gentiles who have become believers, we have sent a letter with our judgment that they should keep away from food that has been sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals, and from sexual immorality.”

isv@Acts:21:26 @ Then Paul took the men and the next day purified himself with them. Then he went into the temple to announce the time when the days of purification would be over and when the sacrifice would be offered for each of them.

isv@Acts:21:27 @ When the seven days were almost over, the Jews from Asia, seeing Paul in the temple, stirred up the whole crowd. They grabbed him,

isv@Acts:21:30 @ The whole city was in chaos, and the people rushed together. They grabbed Paul and dragged him out of the temple, and at once the doors were shut.

isv@Acts:21:31 @ They were trying to kill him when a report reached the tribune of the cohort that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.

isv@Acts:22:5 @ as the high priest and the whole Council of elders can testify about me. From them I also received letters to the brothers in Damascus, and I was going there to tie up those who were there and bring them back to Jerusalem to be punished.

isv@Acts:22:8 @ I answered, ‘Who are you, Lord?’ He said to me,‘I am Jesus from Nazareth,whom you are persecuting.’

isv@Acts:22:9 @ The men who were with me saw the light but didn't understand the voice of the one who was speaking to me.

isv@Acts:22:11 @ Since I could not see because of the brightness of the light, the men who were with me took me by the hand and led me into Damascus.

isv@Acts:22:20 @ Even when the blood of your witness Stephen was being shed, I was standing there approving it and guarding the coats of those who were killing him.’

isv@Acts:22:23 @ While they were yelling, tossing their coats around, and throwing dirt into the air,

isv@Acts:22:24 @ the tribune ordered Paul to be taken into the barracks and told the soldiers to question him with a beating in order to find out why they were yelling at him like this.

isv@Acts:22:26 @ When the centurion heard this, he went to the tribune and said to him, “What are you doing? This man is a Roman citizen!”

isv@Acts:22:27 @ So the tribune went and asked Paul, “Tell me, are you a Roman citizen?”“Yes,” he said.

isv@Acts:22:29 @ Immediately those who were about to examine him stepped back, and the tribune was afraid when he found out that Paul was a Roman citizen and that he had tied him up.

isv@Acts:23:5 @ Paul answered, “I didn't realize, brothers, that he is the high priest. After all, it is written, ‘You must not speak evil about a ruler of your people.’”

isv@Acts:23:6 @ When Paul saw that some of them were Sadducees and others were Pharisees, he shouted in the Council, “Brothers, I am a Pharisee and a descendant of Pharisees. I am on trial concerning the hope of the resurrection of the dead.”

isv@Acts:23:7 @ After he said that, an angry quarrel broke out between the Pharisees and the Sadducees, and the assembly was divided.

isv@Acts:23:9 @ There was a great deal of shouting until some of the scribes who belonged to the party of the Pharisees stood up and argued forcefully, “We find nothing wrong with this man. What if a spirit or an angel has spoken to him?”

isv@Acts:23:14 @ They went to the high priests and elders and said, “We have taken a solemn oath not to taste any food before we have killed Paul.

isv@Acts:23:15 @ Now then, you and the Council must notify the tribune to bring him down to you on the pretext that you want to look into his case more carefully, but before he arrives we'll be ready to kill him.”

isv@Acts:23:20 @ He answered, “The Jews have agreed to ask you to bring Paul down to the Council tomorrow as though they were going to examine his case more carefully.

isv@Acts:23:27 @ This man had been seized by the Jews and was about to be killed by them when I went with the guard and rescued him, having learned that he was a Roman citizen.

isv@Acts:23:28 @ I wanted to know the exact charge they were making against him, so I had him brought before their Council.

isv@Acts:24:2 @ When Paul had been summoned, Tertullius opened the prosecution by saying:“Your Excellency Felix, since we are enjoying lasting peace through you, and since reforms for this nation are being brought about through your foresight,

isv@Acts:24:3 @ we always and everywhere acknowledge it with profound gratitude.

isv@Acts:24:5 @ For we have found this man a perfect pest and an agitator among all Jews throughout the world. He is a ringleader in the sect of the Nazarenes

isv@Acts:24:6 @ and even tried to profane the temple, but we arrested him.

isv@Acts:24:8 @ By examining him for yourself, you will be able to find out from him everything of which we accuse him.”

isv@Acts:24:9 @ The Jews supported his accusations by asserting that these things were true.

isv@Acts:24:11 @ You can verify for yourself that I went up to worship in Jerusalem no more than twelve days ago.

isv@Acts:24:14 @ However, I admit to you that in accordance with the Way, which they call a heresy, I worship the God of our ancestors and believe in everything written in the Law and the Prophets.

isv@Acts:24:19 @ But some Jews from Asia were there, and they should be here before you to accuse me if they have anything against me.

isv@Acts:24:22 @ Felix was rather well informed about the Way, and so he adjourned the trial with the comment, “When Tribune Lysias arrives, I will decide your case.”

isv@Acts:25:1 @ Three days after Festus had arrived in the province, he went up from Caesarea to Jerusalem.

isv@Acts:25:3 @ and begging him as a favor to have Paul brought to Jerusalem. They were laying an ambush to kill him on the way.

isv@Acts:25:6 @ Festus stayed with them no more than eight or ten days and then went down to Caesarea. The next day he sat on the judge's seat and ordered Paul brought in.

isv@Acts:25:10 @ But Paul said, “I am standing before the emperor's judgment seat where I ought to be tried. I haven't done anything wrong to the Jews, as you know very well.

isv@Acts:25:12 @ Festus talked it over with the council and then answered, “To the emperor you have appealed; to the emperor you will go!”

isv@Acts:25:13 @ After several days had passed, King Agrippa and Bernice came to Caesarea to welcome Festus.

isv@Acts:25:14 @ Since they were staying there for several days, Festus laid Paul's case before the king. He said, “There is a man here who was left in prison by Felix.

isv@Acts:25:15 @ When I went to Jerusalem, the high priests and the Jewish elders informed me about him and asked me to condemn him.

isv@Acts:25:16 @ I answered them that it was not the Roman custom to hand over a man for punishment until the accused met his accusers face to face and had an opportunity to defend himself against the charge.

isv@Acts:25:23 @ The next day Agrippa and Bernice arrived with much fanfare and went into the auditorium along with the tribunes and the leading men of the city. At the command of Festus, Paul was brought in.

isv@Acts:26:7 @ Our twelve tribes, worshiping day and night with intense devotion, hope to attain it. It is for this hope, O King, that I am accused by the Jews.

isv@Acts:26:10 @ That is what I did in Jerusalem. I received authority from the high priests and locked many of the saints in prison. And when they were put to death, I cast my vote against them.

isv@Acts:26:13 @ On the road at noon, O King, I saw from heaven a light that was brighter than the sun flash around me and those who were traveling with me.

isv@Acts:26:15 @ I asked, ‘Who are you, Lord?’ The Lord answered,‘I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.

isv@Acts:26:30 @ Then the king, the governor, Bernice, and those who were sitting with him got up.

isv@Acts:26:31 @ As they were leaving, they began to say to each other, “This man isn't doing anything to deserve death or imprisonment.”

isv@Acts:27:1 @ When it was decided that we should sail to Italy, they transferred Paul and some other prisoners to a centurion named Julius, who belonged to the emperor's division.

isv@Acts:27:2 @ Boarding a ship from Adramyttium that was about to sail to the ports on the coast of Asia, we put out to sea. Aristarchus, a Macedonian from Thessalonica, went with us.

isv@Acts:27:3 @ The next day we arrived at Sidon, and Julius treated Paul kindly and allowed him to visit his friends and receive any care he needed.

isv@Acts:27:4 @ After putting out from there, we sailed on the sheltered side of Cyprus because the winds were against us.

isv@Acts:27:5 @ We sailed along the sea off Cilicia and Pamphylia and reached Myra in Lycia.

isv@Acts:27:7 @ We sailed slowly for a number of days and with difficulty arrived off Cnidus. Then, because the wind was against us, we sailed on the sheltered side of Crete off Cape Salome.

isv@Acts:27:8 @ Sailing past it with difficulty, we came to a place called Fair Havens, near the town of Lasea.

isv@Acts:27:12 @ Since the harbor was not a good place to spend the winter, most of the men favored putting out to sea from there on the chance that somehow they could reach Phoenix and spend the winter there. It is a harbor of Crete facing southwest and northwest.

isv@Acts:27:14 @ But it was not long before a violent wind (called a northeaster) swept down from the island.

isv@Acts:27:15 @ The ship was caught so that it couldn't face the wind, and we gave up and were swept along.

isv@Acts:27:16 @ As we drifted to the sheltered side of a small island called Cauda, we barely managed to secure the ship's lifeboat.

isv@Acts:27:17 @ They pulled it up on deck and used ropes to brace the ship. Fearing that they would hit the large sandbank near Lybia, they lowered the sail and drifted along.

isv@Acts:27:18 @ The next day, because we were being tossed so violently by the storm, they began to throw the cargo overboard.

isv@Acts:27:20 @ For a number of days neither the sun nor the stars were to be seen, and the storm continued to rage until at last all hope of our being saved vanished.

isv@Acts:27:26 @ However, we will have to run aground on some island.”

isv@Acts:27:27 @ It was the fourteenth night, and we were drifting through the Adriatic Sea when about midnight the sailors suspected that land was near.

isv@Acts:27:28 @ On taking soundings, they found a depth of twenty fathoms. A little later they took soundings again and found it was fifteen fathoms.

isv@Acts:27:29 @ Fearing that we might run aground on the rocks, they dropped four anchors from the stern and began praying for daylight to come.

isv@Acts:27:30 @ Now the sailors were trying to escape from the ship. They had lowered the lifeboat into the sea and pretended that they were going to lay out the anchors from the bow.

isv@Acts:27:36 @ All of them were encouraged and had something to eat.

isv@Acts:27:37 @ There were 276 of us on the ship.

isv@Acts:27:44 @ The rest were to follow, some on planks and others on various pieces of the ship. In this way all of them got to shore safely.

isv@Acts:28:1 @ When we were safely on shore, we learned that the island was called Malta.

isv@Acts:28:2 @ The people who lived there were unusually kind to us. It had started to rain and was cold, and so they made a fire and welcomed all of us around it.

isv@Acts:28:6 @ They were expecting him to swell up or suddenly drop dead, but after waiting a long time and seeing nothing unusual happen to him, they changed their minds and said he was a god.

isv@Acts:28:7 @ The governor of the island, whose name was Publius, owned estates in that part of the island, and he welcomed us and entertained us with great hospitality for three days.

isv@Acts:28:8 @ The father of Publius happened to be sick in bed with fever and dysentery. Paul went to him, prayed, and healed him by placing his hands on him.

isv@Acts:28:9 @ After that had happened, the rest of the sick people on the island went to him and were healed.

isv@Acts:28:10 @ They honored us in many ways, and when we were going to sail, they supplied us with everything we needed.

isv@Acts:28:11 @ Three months later, we sailed on an Alexandrian ship that had spent the winter at the island. It had the Twin Brothers as its figurehead.

isv@Acts:28:12 @ We stopped at Syracuse and stayed there for three days.

isv@Acts:28:13 @ Then we weighed anchor and came to Rhegium. A day later a south wind began to blow, and on the second day we came to Puteoli.

isv@Acts:28:14 @ There we found some brothers and were invited to stay with them for seven days. And so we came to Rome.

isv@Acts:28:16 @ When we came into Rome, Paul was allowed to live by himself with the soldier who was guarding him.

isv@Acts:28:20 @ That's why I asked to see you and speak with you, since it is for the hope of Israel that I'm wearing this chain.”

isv@Acts:28:21 @ They told him, “We haven't received any letters from Judea about you, and none of the brothers coming here has reported or mentioned anything bad about you.

isv@Acts:28:22 @ However, we would like to hear from you what you think, because everywhere people are talking against this sect.”

isv@Acts:28:24 @ Some of them were convinced by what he said, but others wouldn't believe.

isv@Acts:28:25 @ They disagreed with one another as they were leaving, and Paul added a statement: “How well did the Holy Spirit speak to your ancestors through the prophet Isaiah!

isv@Acts:28:30 @ For two whole years he lived in his own rented place and welcomed everyone who came to him.

isv@Romans:1:4 @ and who according to the spirit of holiness was declared to be the Son of God with power by the resurrection from the dead—Jesus Christ our Lord.

isv@Romans:1:5 @ Through him we received grace and a commission as an apostle to bring about the obedience of faith among all the Gentiles for the sake of his name.

isv@Romans:1:12 @ that is, that we may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith, both yours and mine.

isv@Romans:1:16 @ For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is God's power for the salvation of everyone who believes, of the Jew first and of the Greek as well.

isv@Romans:1:20 @ For since the creation of the world his invisible attributes—his eternal power and divine nature—have been understood and observed by what he made, so that people are without excuse.

isv@Romans:1:21 @ For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him. Instead, their thoughts turned to worthless things, and their ignorant hearts were darkened.

isv@Romans:2:2 @ Now we know that God's judgment against those who practice such is based on truth.

isv@Romans:2:9 @ There will be suffering and anguish for every human being who practices doing evil, for Jews first and for Greeks as well.

isv@Romans:2:10 @ But there will be glory, honor, and peace for everyone who practices doing good, for Jews first and for Greeks as well.

isv@Romans:3:3 @ What if some of them were unfaithful? Their unfaithfulness cannot cancel God's faithfulness, can it?

isv@Romans:3:5 @ But if our unrighteousness serves to confirm God's righteousness, what can we say? God is not unrighteous when he vents his wrath on us, is he? (I am talking in human terms.)

isv@Romans:3:8 @ Or can we say—as some people slander us by claiming that we say—“Let us do evil that good may result”? Their condemnation is deserved!

isv@Romans:3:9 @ What, then, does this mean? Are we Jews any better off? Not at all! For we have already accused everyone, both Jews and Greeks, of being under the power of sin.

isv@Romans:3:19 @ Now we know that whatever the law says applies to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God.

isv@Romans:3:28 @ For we maintain that a person is justified by faith apart from the works prescribed by the law.

isv@Romans:3:31 @ Do we, then, abolish the law by this faith? Of course not! Instead, we uphold the law.

isv@Romans:4:1 @ What, then, are we to say about Abraham, our ancestor according to the flesh?

isv@Romans:4:5 @ However, to someone who does not work, but simply believes in the one who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness.

isv@Romans:4:9 @ Now does this blessedness come to the circumcised alone, or also to the uncircumcised? For we say, “Abraham's faith was credited to him as righteousness.”

isv@Romans:4:14 @ For if those who were given the law are the heirs, then faith is useless and the promise is worthless,

isv@Romans:4:16 @ Therefore, the promise is based on faith, so that it may be a matter of grace and may be guaranteed for all his descendants—not only for those who were given the law, but also for those who share Abraham's faith, who is the father of us all.

isv@Romans:4:19 @ He did not weaken in faith when he thought about his own body (which was already as good as dead now that he was about a hundred years old) or about Sarah's inability to have children,

isv@Romans:4:23 @ Now the words “it was credited to him” were written not only for him

isv@Romans:4:24 @ but also for us. Our faith will be regarded in the same way, if we believe in the one who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead.

isv@Romans:5:1 @ Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.

isv@Romans:5:2 @ Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we boast in our hope of sharing God's glory.

isv@Romans:5:3 @ Not only that, but we also boast in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance,

isv@Romans:5:6 @ For at just the right time, while we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.

isv@Romans:5:8 @ But God demonstrates his love for us by the fact that Christ died for us while we were still sinners.

isv@Romans:5:9 @ Now that we have been justified by his blood, how much more will we be saved from wrath through him!

isv@Romans:5:10 @ For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, will we be saved by his life!

isv@Romans:5:11 @ Not only that, but we also continue to boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received our reconciliation.

isv@Romans:5:15 @ But God's free gift is not like Adam's offense. For if many people died as the result of one man's offense, how much more have God's grace and the free gift given through the kindness of one man, Jesus Christ, been showered on many people!

isv@Romans:5:16 @ Nor can the free gift be compared to what came through the man who sinned. For the sentence that followed one man's offense brought condemnation, but the free gift brought justification, even after many offenses.

isv@Romans:5:19 @ For just as through one man's disobedience many people were made sinners, so also through one man's obedience many people will be made righteous.

isv@Romans:6:1 @ What should we say, then? Should we go on sinning so that grace may increase?

isv@Romans:6:2 @ Of course not! How can we who died as far as sin is concerned go on living in it?

isv@Romans:6:3 @ Or don't you know that all of us who were baptized into union with Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?

isv@Romans:6:4 @ Therefore, through baptism we were buried with him into his death so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the Father's glory, we too may live an entirely new life.

isv@Romans:6:5 @ For if we have become united with him in a death like his, we will certainly also be united with him in a resurrection like his.

isv@Romans:6:6 @ We know that our old selves were crucified with him so that our sinful bodies might be rendered powerless and we might no longer be slaves to sin.

isv@Romans:6:8 @ Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him,

isv@Romans:6:9 @ for we know that Christ, who was raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has mastery over him.

isv@Romans:6:15 @ What, then, does this mean? Should we go on sinning because we are not under law but under grace? Of course not!

isv@Romans:6:17 @ But thank God that, though you were once slaves of sin, you became obedient from your hearts to that form of teaching with which you were entrusted!

isv@Romans:6:20 @ For when you were slaves of sin, you were free as far as righteousness was concerned.

isv@Romans:7:5 @ For while we were living in the flesh, sinful passions aroused by the law were at work in our bodies to bear fruit for death.

isv@Romans:7:6 @ But now we have been released from the law by dying to what enslaved us, so that we may serve in the new life of the Spirit, not under the old written code.

isv@Romans:7:7 @ What should we say, then? Is the law sinful? Of course not! In fact, I wouldn't have known sin if it had not been for the law. For I wouldn't have known what it means to covet if the law had not said, “You must not covet.”

isv@Romans:7:14 @ For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am mere flesh, sold as a slave to sin.

isv@Romans:8:3 @ For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to deal with sin. He condemned sin in the flesh

isv@Romans:8:7 @ That is why the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile toward God. For it refuses to submit to the authority of God's law because it is powerless to do so.

isv@Romans:8:9 @ You, however, are not of the flesh but under the control of the Spirit, since God's Spirit lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to him.

isv@Romans:8:12 @ Consequently, brothers, we have an obligation—but it is not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.

isv@Romans:8:15 @ For you have not received a spirit of slavery that leads you into fear again. Instead, you have received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba! Father!”

isv@Romans:8:16 @ The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children.

isv@Romans:8:17 @ Now if we are children, we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if, in fact, we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.

isv@Romans:8:22 @ For we know that all creation has been groaning with the pains of childbirth right up to the present time.

isv@Romans:8:23 @ However, not only creation groans, but we who have the first fruits of the Spirit also groan inwardly as we eagerly wait for our adoption, the redemption of our bodies.

isv@Romans:8:24 @ For we were saved with this hope in mind. Now hope that is seen is not really hope, for who hopes for what can be seen?

isv@Romans:8:25 @ But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with patience.

isv@Romans:8:26 @ In the same way, the Spirit also helps us in our weakness, for we do not know how to pray as we should. But the Spirit himself intercedes with groans too deep for words,

isv@Romans:8:28 @ And we know that he works all things together for the good of those who love God, who are called according to his purpose.

isv@Romans:8:31 @ What, then, can we say about all of this? If God is for us, who can be against us?

isv@Romans:8:36 @ As it is written, “For your sake we are being killed all day long.We are thought of as sheep to be slaughtered.”

isv@Romans:8:37 @ No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through the one who loved us.

isv@Romans:8:38 @ For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,

isv@Romans:9:3 @ for I could wish that I myself were condemned and cut off from Christ for the sake of my brothers, my relatives according to the flesh.

isv@Romans:9:14 @ What can we say, then? God is not unrighteous, is he? Of course not!

isv@Romans:9:17 @ For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, “I have raised you up for this very purpose,to demonstrate my power in you and that my name might be proclaimedin all the earth.”

isv@Romans:9:22 @ Now if God wants to demonstrate his wrath and reveal his power, can't he be extremely patient with the objects of his wrath that are made for destruction?

isv@Romans:9:24 @ including us, whom he also called, not only from the Jews but from the Gentiles as well?

isv@Romans:9:29 @ It is just as Isaiah predicted: “If the Lord of the Heavenly Armieshad not left us some descendants,we would have become like Sodomand would have been compared to Gomorrah.”

isv@Romans:9:30 @ What can we say, then? Gentiles, who were not pursuing righteousness, have attained righteousness, a righteousness that comes through faith.

isv@Romans:9:32 @ Why not? Because they did not pursue it on the basis of faith, but as if it were based on works. They stumbled over the stone that causes people to stumble.

isv@Romans:10:8 @ But what does it say? “The message is near you. It is in your mouth and in your heart.” This is the message of faith that we proclaim:

isv@Romans:10:12 @ For there is no difference between Jew and Greek, because they all have the same Lord, who gives richly to all who call on him.

isv@Romans:10:20 @ And Isaiah boldly says, “I was found by those who were not looking for me;I was revealed to those who were not asking for me.”

isv@Romans:11:7 @ What, then, does this mean? It means that Israel failed to obtain what it was striving for, but those who were chosen obtained it. However, the rest were hardened.

isv@Romans:11:19 @ Then you will say, “Branches were cut off so that I could be grafted in.”

isv@Romans:11:20 @ That's right! They were broken off because of their unbelief, but you remain only because of faith. Do not be arrogant, but be afraid!

isv@Romans:11:24 @ After all, if you were cut off from what is naturally a wild olive tree, and contrary to nature were grafted into a cultivated olive tree, how much easier it will be for these natural branches to be grafted back into their own olive tree!

isv@Romans:12:4 @ For we have many parts in one body, but these parts do not all have the same function.

isv@Romans:12:5 @ In the same way, even though we are many people, we are one body in Christ and individual parts connected to each other.

isv@Romans:12:6 @ We have different gifts based on the grace that was given to us. So if your gift is prophecy, use your gift in proportion to your faith.

isv@Romans:13:7 @ Pay everyone whatever you owe them—taxes to whom taxes are due, tolls to whom tolls are due, fear to whom fear is due, honor to whom honor is due.

isv@Romans:13:8 @ Do not owe anyone anything—except to love one another. For the one who loves another has fulfilled the law.

isv@Romans:13:11 @ This is necessary because you know the times—that it's time for you to wake up from sleep. For our salvation is nearer now than when we became believers.

isv@Romans:14:1 @ Accept the person who is weak in faith, but not for the purpose of arguing over differences of opinion.

isv@Romans:14:2 @ One person believes that he can eat anything, while the weak person eats only vegetables.

isv@Romans:14:8 @ If we live, we live to honor the Lord; and if we die, we die to honor the Lord. So whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.

isv@Romans:14:21 @ The right thing to do is to avoid eating meat, drinking wine, or doing anything else that makes your brother stumble or become upset or weak.

isv@Romans:15:1 @ Now we who are strong ought to be patient with the weaknesses of those who are not strong and must stop pleasing ourselves.

isv@Romans:15:4 @ For everything that was written long ago was written for our instruction, so that we might have hope through the endurance and encouragement that the Scriptures give us.

isv@Romans:15:13 @ Now may God, the source of hope, fill you with all joy and peace as you believe, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

isv@Romans:15:15 @ However, on some points I have written to you rather boldly, both as a reminder to you and because of the grace given me by God

isv@Romans:15:19 @ by the power of signs and wonders, and by the power of God's Spirit, I have fully proclaimed the gospel of Christ from Jerusalem as far as Illyricum.

isv@Romans:15:21 @ Rather, as it is written, “Those who were never told about him will see,and those who have never heard will understand.”

isv@Romans:15:25 @ Right now, however, I am going to Jerusalem to minister to the saints.

isv@Romans:15:27 @ Yes, they were eager to do this, and in fact they are obligated to help them, for if the Gentiles have shared in their spiritual blessings, they are obligated to be of service to them in material things.

isv@Romans:16:2 @ Welcome her in the Lord as is appropriate for saints, and provide her with anything she may need from you, for she has assisted many people, including me.

isv@Romans:16:7 @ Greet Andronicus and Junias, my fellow Jews who are in prison with me and are prominent among the apostles. They were in Christ before I was.

isv@1Corinthians:1:9 @ Faithful is the God by whom you were called into fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

isv@1Corinthians:1:13 @ Has Christ been divided? Paul wasn't crucified for you, was he? You weren't baptized in Paul's name, were you?

isv@1Corinthians:1:15 @ lest anyone can say that you were baptized in my name.

isv@1Corinthians:1:17 @ For Christ did not send me to baptize but to preach the gospel, not with eloquent wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.

isv@1Corinthians:1:18 @ For the message about the cross is nonsense to those who are being destroyed, but it is God's power to us who are being saved.

isv@1Corinthians:1:23 @ but we preach Christ crucified. He is a stumbling block to Jews and nonsense to Gentiles,

isv@1Corinthians:1:24 @ but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is God's power and God's wisdom.

isv@1Corinthians:1:25 @ For God's nonsense is wiser than human wisdom, and God's weakness is stronger than human strength.

isv@1Corinthians:1:26 @ Brothers, think about your own calling. Not many of you were wise by human standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth.

isv@1Corinthians:1:27 @ But God chose what is nonsense in the world to make the wise feel ashamed. God chose what is weak in the world to make the strong feel ashamed.

isv@1Corinthians:1:30 @ It is because of him that you are in union with Christ Jesus, who for us has become wisdom from God, as well as our righteousness, sanctification, and redemption.

isv@1Corinthians:2:3 @ It was in weakness, fear, and great trembling that I came to you.

isv@1Corinthians:2:4 @ My message and my preaching were not accompanied by clever words of wisdom, but by a display of the Spirit's power,

isv@1Corinthians:2:5 @ so that your faith would not be based on human wisdom but on God's power.

isv@1Corinthians:2:6 @ However, when we are among mature people, we do speak a message of wisdom, but not the wisdom of this world or of the rulers of this world, who are passing off the scene.

isv@1Corinthians:2:7 @ Instead, we speak about God's secret wisdom that has been hidden, which God destined for our glory before the world began.

isv@1Corinthians:2:12 @ Now, we have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit who comes from God, so that we can understand the things that were freely given to us by God.

isv@1Corinthians:2:13 @ We don't speak about these things in words taught us by human wisdom, but in words taught by the Spirit, as we explain spiritual things to spiritual people.

isv@1Corinthians:2:16 @ For “Who has known the mind of the Lordso that he can advise him?”However, we have the mind of Christ.

isv@1Corinthians:3:2 @ I gave you milk to drink, not solid food, because you weren't ready for it. Why, you're still not ready for it!

isv@1Corinthians:3:9 @ For we are God's co-workers. You are God's farmland and God's building.

isv@1Corinthians:3:15 @ If his work is burned up, he will suffer loss. However, he himself will be saved, but it will be like going through fire.

isv@1Corinthians:4:8 @ You already have all you want! You have already become rich! You have become kings without us! I wish you really were kings so that we could be kings with you!

isv@1Corinthians:4:9 @ For it seems to me that God has put us apostles on display at the end of the procession, like men condemned to death. We have become a spectacle for the world, for angels, and for people to stare at.

isv@1Corinthians:4:10 @ We are fools for Christ's sake, but you are wise in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong. You are honored, but we are dishonored.

isv@1Corinthians:4:11 @ To this very hour we are hungry, thirsty, dressed in rags, brutally treated, and homeless.

isv@1Corinthians:4:12 @ We wear ourselves out from working with our own hands. When insulted, we bless. When persecuted, we endure.

isv@1Corinthians:4:13 @ When slandered, we answer with kind words. Up to this moment we have become the filth of the world, the scum of the universe!

isv@1Corinthians:4:18 @ Some of you have become arrogant, as though I were not coming to you.

isv@1Corinthians:4:19 @ But I will come to you soon if it's the Lord's will. Then I'll discover not only what these arrogant people are saying but also what power they have,

isv@1Corinthians:4:20 @ for the kingdom of God isn't just talk but power.

isv@1Corinthians:5:3 @ Even though I am away from you physically, I am with you in spirit. I have already passed judgment on the man who did this, as though I were present with you.

isv@1Corinthians:6:3 @ You know that we will rule angels, not to mention things in this life, don't you?

isv@1Corinthians:6:5 @ I say this to make you feel ashamed. Has it come to this, that there is not one person among you who is wise enough to settle disagreements between brothers?

isv@1Corinthians:6:11 @ That is what some of you were! But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.

isv@1Corinthians:6:14 @ God raised the Lord, and by his power he will also raise us.

isv@1Corinthians:6:20 @ because you were bought for a price. Therefore, glorify God with your bodies.

isv@1Corinthians:8:1 @ Now concerning food offered to idols: We know that we all possess knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.

isv@1Corinthians:8:4 @ Now concerning eating food offered to idols: We know that no idol is real in the world and that there is only one God.

isv@1Corinthians:8:6 @ yet for us there is only one God, the Father, from whom everything came into being and for whom we live. And there is only one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom everything came into being and through whom we live.

isv@1Corinthians:8:7 @ But not everyone has this knowledge. Some people are so accustomed to idols that they still think they are eating food offered to an idol, and since their conscience is weak, it becomes contaminated.

isv@1Corinthians:8:8 @ However, food will not bring us closer to God. We are no worse off if we do not eat, and no better off if we do.

isv@1Corinthians:8:9 @ But you must see to it that this right of yours does not become a stumbling block to the weak.

isv@1Corinthians:8:10 @ For if anyone with a weak conscience sees you who have this knowledge eating in an idol's temple, he will be encouraged to eat what has been offered to idols, won't he?

isv@1Corinthians:8:11 @ In that case, the weak brother for whom Christ died is destroyed by your knowledge.

isv@1Corinthians:8:12 @ When you sin against your brothers in this way and wound their weak consciences, you are sinning against Christ.

isv@1Corinthians:9:4 @ We have the right to eat and drink, don't we?

isv@1Corinthians:9:5 @ We have the right to take a believing wife with us like the other apostles, the Lord's brothers, and Cephas, don't we?

isv@1Corinthians:9:11 @ If we have sown spiritual seed among you, is it too much if we reap material benefits from you?

isv@1Corinthians:9:12 @ If others enjoy this right over you, don't we have a stronger claim? But we did not use this right. On the contrary, we put up with everything in order not to put an obstacle in the way of the gospel of Christ.

isv@1Corinthians:9:22 @ To the weak I became weak in order to win the weak. I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some of them.

isv@1Corinthians:9:25 @ Everyone who enters an athletic contest practices self-control in everything. They do it to win a wreath that dies, but we to win one that never dies.

isv@1Corinthians:10:1 @ For I do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, of the fact that all of our ancestors were under the cloud, and they all went through the sea,

isv@1Corinthians:10:2 @ and they all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea,

isv@1Corinthians:10:4 @ and they all drank the same spiritual drink, for they continually drank from the spiritual Rock that went with them, and that Rock was Christ.

isv@1Corinthians:10:5 @ But God wasn't pleased with most of them, and so they were struck down in the wilderness.

isv@1Corinthians:10:6 @ Now these things became examples for us so that we won't set our hearts on evil as they did.

isv@1Corinthians:10:7 @ Let us stop being idolaters, as some of them were. As it is written, “The people sat down to eat and drink and got up to play.”

isv@1Corinthians:10:8 @ Let us stop sinning sexually, as some of them were doing, and on a single day 23,000 fell dead.

isv@1Corinthians:10:9 @ Let us stop putting the Lord to the test, as some of them were doing, and were destroyed by snakes.

isv@1Corinthians:10:10 @ You must stop complaining, as some of them were doing, and were destroyed by the destroying angel.

isv@1Corinthians:10:11 @ These things happened to them to serve as an example, and they were written down as a warning for us in whom the climax of the ages has been realized.

isv@1Corinthians:10:16 @ The cup of blessing that we bless is a sign of our sharing in the blood of Christ, isn't it? The bread that we break is a sign of our sharing in the body of Christ, isn't it?

isv@1Corinthians:10:17 @ Because there is one loaf, we who are many are one body, because all of us partake of the one loaf.

isv@1Corinthians:10:22 @ Are we trying to provoke the Lord to jealousy? We are not stronger than he is, are we?

isv@1Corinthians:10:24 @ No one should seek his own welfare, but rather his neighbor's.

isv@1Corinthians:10:28 @ However, if someone says to you, “This was offered in sacrifice,” don't eat it, both out of consideration for the one who told you and because of conscience.

isv@1Corinthians:11:11 @ In the Lord, however, woman is not independent of man, nor is man of woman.

isv@1Corinthians:11:16 @ But if anyone wants to argue about this, we do not have any custom like this, nor do any of God's churches.

isv@1Corinthians:11:30 @ That's why so many of you are weak and sick and a considerable number are dying.

isv@1Corinthians:11:31 @ But if we judged ourselves correctly, we would not be judged.

isv@1Corinthians:11:32 @ Now, while we are being judged by the Lord, we are being disciplined lest we be condemned along with the world.

isv@1Corinthians:12:13 @ For by one Spirit all of us—Jews and Greeks, slaves and free—were baptized into one body and were all privileged to drink from one Spirit.

isv@1Corinthians:12:17 @ If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be?

isv@1Corinthians:12:19 @ Now if they were all one part, where would the body be?

isv@1Corinthians:12:22 @ On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are in fact indispensable,

isv@1Corinthians:12:23 @ and the parts of the body that we think are less honorable are treated with special honor, and we make our less attractive parts more attractive.

isv@1Corinthians:12:24 @ However, our attractive parts don't need this. But God has put the body together and has given special honor to the parts that lack it,

isv@1Corinthians:13:9 @ For what we know is incomplete and what we prophesy is incomplete.

isv@1Corinthians:13:12 @ Now we see only a blurred reflection in a mirror, but then we will see face to face. Now what I know is incomplete, but then I will know fully, even as I have been fully known.

isv@1Corinthians:14:29 @ Two or three prophets should speak, and the others should weigh carefully what is said.

isv@1Corinthians:15:11 @ So, whether it was I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed.

isv@1Corinthians:15:12 @ Now if we preach that Christ has been raised from the dead, how can some of you keep claiming there is no resurrection of the dead?

isv@1Corinthians:15:15 @ In addition, we are found to be false witnesses about God because we testified on God's behalf that he raised Christ—whom he did not raise if in fact it is true that the dead are not raised.

isv@1Corinthians:15:19 @ If we have set our hopes on Christ in this life only, we deserve more pity than any other people.

isv@1Corinthians:15:23 @ However, this will happen to each person in the proper order: first Christ, then those who belong to Christ when he comes.

isv@1Corinthians:15:24 @ Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has done away with every ruler and every authority and power.

isv@1Corinthians:15:30 @ And why in fact are we being endangered every hour?

isv@1Corinthians:15:32 @ If I have fought with wild animals in Ephesus from merely human motives, what do I get out of it? If the dead are not raised, “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.”

isv@1Corinthians:15:43 @ The body is planted in dishonor but raised in splendor. It is planted in weakness but raised in power.

isv@1Corinthians:15:49 @ Just as we have borne the likeness of the man who was made from dust, we will also bear the likeness of the man from heaven.

isv@1Corinthians:15:52 @ in a moment, in the blinking of an eye, at the sound of the last trumpet. Indeed, that trumpet will sound, and then the dead will be raised never to decay, and we will be changed.

isv@1Corinthians:15:54 @ Now, when what is decaying puts on what cannot decay, and what is dying puts on what cannot die, then the saying that is written will be fulfilled: “Death has been swallowed up in victory!”

isv@1Corinthians:15:56 @ Now the sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.

isv@1Corinthians:16:2 @ On the first day of the week, each of you should set aside and save some of your money in proportion to what you have, so that no collections will have to be made when I come.

isv@1Corinthians:16:8 @ However, I will be staying on in Ephesus until Pentecost,

isv@1Corinthians:16:12 @ Now concerning our brother Apollos, I strongly urged him to visit you with the other brothers, but he was not inclined to go just now. However, he will come when the time is right.

isv@1Corinthians:16:15 @ Now I urge you, brothers—for you know that the members of the family of Stephanas were the first converts in Achaia, and that they have devoted themselves to serving the saints—

isv@2Corinthians:1:4 @ who comforts us in all our suffering, so that we may be able to comfort others in all their suffering, since we ourselves are being comforted by God.

isv@2Corinthians:1:6 @ If we suffer, it is for your comfort and salvation. If we are comforted, it is for your comfort when you patiently endure the same sufferings that we are suffering.

isv@2Corinthians:1:7 @ Our hope for you is unshaken, because we know that as you share our sufferings, you also share our comfort.

isv@2Corinthians:1:8 @ For we do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, about the suffering we experienced in Asia. We were so crushed beyond our ability to endure that we even despaired of living.

isv@2Corinthians:1:9 @ In fact, we felt within ourselves that we had received the sentence of death, so that we would not rely on ourselves but on the God who raises the dead.

isv@2Corinthians:1:10 @ He has rescued us from a terrible death, and he will continue to rescue us. Yes, the one on whom we have set our hope will rescue us again,

isv@2Corinthians:1:12 @ For this is what we boast about: Our conscience testifies that we have conducted ourselves in the world with pure motives and godly sincerity, without earthly wisdom but with God's grace—and especially towards you.

isv@2Corinthians:1:13 @ For what we are writing you is nothing more than what you can read and also understand. I hope you will understand completely,

isv@2Corinthians:1:14 @ just as you have already understood us partially, so that on the day of our Lord Jesus we can be your reason to boast, even as you are ours.

isv@2Corinthians:1:20 @ For all God's promises are “Yes” in him. And so through him we can say “Amen,” to the glory of God.

isv@2Corinthians:1:21 @ Now the one who makes us—and you as well—secure in union with Christ and has anointed us is God,

isv@2Corinthians:1:24 @ It is not that we are trying to lord it over your faith. On the contrary, we are workers with you to promote your joy, because you have been standing firm in the faith.

isv@2Corinthians:2:2 @ After all, if I were to grieve you, who should make me happy but the person I am making sad?

isv@2Corinthians:2:11 @ so that we may not be outsmarted by Satan. After all, we are not unaware of his intentions.

isv@2Corinthians:2:12 @ When I went to Troas on behalf of the gospel of Christ, a door in fact stood wide open for me in the Lord.

isv@2Corinthians:2:13 @ But my spirit could not find any relief, because I couldn't find Titus, my brother. So I said goodbye to them and went on to Macedonia.

isv@2Corinthians:2:15 @ To God we are the aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are being lost.

isv@2Corinthians:2:16 @ To some people we are a deadly fragrance, while to others we are a living fragrance. Who is qualified for this?

isv@2Corinthians:2:17 @ At least we are not commercializing God's word like so many others. Instead, in Christ we speak with sincerity, like people who are sent from God and are accountable to God.

isv@2Corinthians:3:1 @ Are we beginning to recommend ourselves again? Unlike some people, we do not need letters of recommendation to you or from you, do we?

isv@2Corinthians:3:4 @ Such is the confidence that we have in God through Christ.

isv@2Corinthians:3:5 @ By ourselves we are not qualified to claim that anything comes from us. Rather, our credentials come from God,

isv@2Corinthians:3:12 @ Therefore, since we have such a hope, we speak with great boldness,

isv@2Corinthians:3:14 @ However, their minds were hardened, for to this day the same veil is still there when they read the old covenant. Only in union with Christ is that veil removed.

isv@2Corinthians:3:18 @ As all of us reflect the glory of the Lord with unveiled faces, we are being transformed into the same image with ever-increasing glory by the Lord's Spirit.

isv@2Corinthians:4:1 @ Therefore, since we have this ministry through the mercy shown to us, we do not get discouraged.

isv@2Corinthians:4:2 @ Instead, we have renounced secret and shameful ways. We do not use trickery or pervert God's word. By clear statements of the truth we commend ourselves to everyone's conscience before God.

isv@2Corinthians:4:5 @ For we do not preach ourselves but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as merely your servants for Jesus’ sake.

isv@2Corinthians:4:7 @ But we have this treasure in clay jars to show that its extraordinary power comes from God and not from us.

isv@2Corinthians:4:8 @ In every way we're troubled but not crushed, frustrated but not in despair,

isv@2Corinthians:4:10 @ We are always carrying around the death of Jesus in our bodies, so that the life of Jesus may be clearly shown in our bodies.

isv@2Corinthians:4:11 @ While we are alive, we are constantly being handed over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that the life of Jesus may be clearly shown in our dying bodies.

isv@2Corinthians:4:13 @ Now since we have the same spirit of faith in keeping with what is written—“I believed, and so I spoke”—we also believe, and so we speak.

isv@2Corinthians:4:14 @ We know that the one who raised the Lord Jesus will also raise us with Jesus and present us to God together with you.

isv@2Corinthians:4:16 @ That's why we are not discouraged. No, even if our outer man is wearing out, our inner man is being renewed day by day.

isv@2Corinthians:4:17 @ This light, temporary nature of our suffering is producing for us an eternal weight of glory, far beyond any comparison,

isv@2Corinthians:4:18 @ because we do not look for things that can be seen but for things that cannot be seen. For things that can be seen are temporary, but things that cannot be seen are eternal.

isv@2Corinthians:5:1 @ We know that if the earthly tent we live in is torn down, we have a building in heaven that comes from God, an eternal house not built by human hands.

isv@2Corinthians:5:2 @ For in this one we sigh, since we long to put on our heavenly dwelling.

isv@2Corinthians:5:3 @ Of course, if we do put it on, we will not be found without a body.

isv@2Corinthians:5:4 @ So while we are still in this tent, we sigh under our burdens, because we do not want to put it off but to put it on, so that our dying bodies may be swallowed up by life.

isv@2Corinthians:5:6 @ Therefore, we are always confident, and we know that as long as we are at home in this body we are away from the Lord.

isv@2Corinthians:5:7 @ For we live by faith, not by sight.

isv@2Corinthians:5:8 @ We are confident, then, and would prefer to be away from this body and to live with the Lord.

isv@2Corinthians:5:9 @ So whether we are at home or away from home, our goal is to be pleasing to him.

isv@2Corinthians:5:11 @ Therefore, since we know the fear of the Lord, we try to persuade people. We ourselves are perfectly known to God. I hope we are also really known to your consciences.

isv@2Corinthians:5:12 @ We are not recommending ourselves to you again but are giving you a reason to be proud of us, so that you can answer those who are proud of outward things rather than inward character.

isv@2Corinthians:5:13 @ So if we were crazy, it was for God; if we are sane, it is for you.

isv@2Corinthians:5:14 @ The love of Christ controls us, for we are convinced of this: that one person died for all people; therefore, all people have died.

isv@2Corinthians:5:16 @ So then, from now on we do not think of anyone from a human point of view. Even if we did think of Christ from a human point of view, we don't think of him that way any more.

isv@2Corinthians:5:20 @ Therefore, we are Christ's representatives, as though God were pleading through us. We plead on Christ's behalf: “Be reconciled to God!”

isv@2Corinthians:5:21 @ God made the one who did not know sin to be sin for us, so that we might become God's righteousness in him.

isv@2Corinthians:6:1 @ Since, then, we are working with God, we plead with you not to accept God's grace in vain.

isv@2Corinthians:6:3 @ We do not put an obstacle in anyone's way. Otherwise, fault may be found with our ministry.

isv@2Corinthians:6:4 @ Instead, in every way we demonstrate that we are God's servants by tremendous endurance in the midst of difficulties, hardships, and calamities;

isv@2Corinthians:6:7 @ truthful speech, and divine power; through the weapons of righteousness in the right and left hands;

isv@2Corinthians:6:9 @ as unknown and yet well-known, as dying and yet—as you see—very much alive, as punished and yet not killed,

isv@2Corinthians:6:11 @ We have spoken frankly to you, Corinthians. Our hearts are wide open.

isv@2Corinthians:6:12 @ We have not cut you off, but you have cut off your own feelings toward us.

isv@2Corinthians:6:15 @ What harmony exists between Christ and Beliar, or what do a believer and an unbeliever have in common?

isv@2Corinthians:6:16 @ What agreement can a temple of God make with idols? For we are the temple of the living God, just as God said: “I will live and walk among them.I will be their God,and they will be my people.”

isv@2Corinthians:6:17 @ Therefore, “Get away from themand separate yourselves from them,”declares the Lord, “and don't touch anything unclean.Then I will welcome you.

isv@2Corinthians:7:1 @ Since we have these promises, dear friends, let us cleanse ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit by perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

isv@2Corinthians:7:2 @ Make room for us in your hearts! We have not treated anyone unjustly, harmed anyone, or cheated anyone.

isv@2Corinthians:7:5 @ For even when we came to Macedonia, our bodies had no rest. We suffered in a number of ways. Outwardly there were conflicts, inwardly there were fears.

isv@2Corinthians:7:9 @ Now I am happy, not because you had such sorrow, but because your sorrow led you to repentance. For you were sorry in a godly way, and so you were not hurt by us in any way.

isv@2Corinthians:7:13 @ This is what comforted us. In addition to our own comfort, we were even more delighted at the joy of Titus, because his spirit had been set at rest by all of you.

isv@2Corinthians:7:14 @ For if I have been doing some boasting about you to him, I have never been ashamed of it. Moreover, since everything we told you was true, our boasting to Titus has also proved to be true.

isv@2Corinthians:7:15 @ His heart goes out to you even more as he remembers how obedient all of you were and how you welcomed him with fear and trembling.

isv@2Corinthians:8:1 @ We want you to know, brothers, about God's grace that was given to the churches of Macedonia.

isv@2Corinthians:8:5 @ We did not expect that! They gave themselves to the Lord first and then to us, since this was God's will.

isv@2Corinthians:8:6 @ So we urged Titus to finish this work of kindness among you in the same way that he had started it.

isv@2Corinthians:8:7 @ Indeed, the more your faith, speech, knowledge, enthusiasm, and love for us increase, the more we want you to be rich in this work of kindness.

isv@2Corinthians:8:10 @ I am giving you my opinion on this matter because it will be helpful to you. Last year you were not only willing to do something, but had already started to do it.

isv@2Corinthians:8:17 @ He welcomed my request and eagerly went to visit you by his own free will.

isv@2Corinthians:8:18 @ With him we have sent the brother who is praised in all the churches for spreading the gospel.

isv@2Corinthians:8:19 @ More than that, he has also been selected by the churches to travel with us while we are administering this work of kindness for the glory of the Lord and as evidence of our eagerness to help.

isv@2Corinthians:8:20 @ We are trying to avoid any criticism of the way we are administering this great undertaking.

isv@2Corinthians:8:21 @ We intend to do what is right, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of people.

isv@2Corinthians:8:22 @ We have also sent with them our brother whom we have often tested in many ways and found to be dedicated. At present he is more dedicated than ever because he has so much confidence in you.

isv@2Corinthians:8:24 @ Therefore, give to the churches a demonstration of your love and a reason for why we boast about you.

isv@2Corinthians:9:4 @ Otherwise, if any Macedonians come with me and find out that you are not ready, we would be humiliated—to say nothing of you—in this undertaking.

isv@2Corinthians:9:10 @ Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread to eat will also supply you with seed and multiply it and enlarge the harvest of your righteousness.

isv@2Corinthians:10:2 @ I beg you that when I come I will not need to be courageous by daring to oppose some people who think that we are living according to the flesh.

isv@2Corinthians:10:3 @ Of course, we are living in the flesh, but we do not fight in a fleshly way.

isv@2Corinthians:10:4 @ For the weapons of our warfare are not those of the flesh. Instead, they have the power of God to demolish fortresses. We tear down arguments

isv@2Corinthians:10:6 @ We are ready to punish every act of disobedience when your obedience is complete.

isv@2Corinthians:10:7 @ Look at the plain facts! If anyone is confident that he belongs to Christ, he should remind himself of this: Just as he belongs to Christ, so do we.

isv@2Corinthians:10:10 @ For someone is saying, “His letters are impressive and forceful, but his bodily presence is weak and his speech contemptible.”

isv@2Corinthians:10:11 @ Someone like this should take note of the following: What we say by letter when we are absent is what we will do when present!

isv@2Corinthians:10:12 @ We would not dare put ourselves in the same class with or compare ourselves to those who recommend themselves. When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves to themselves, they show how foolish they are.

isv@2Corinthians:10:13 @ We will not boast about what cannot be evaluated. Instead, we will stay within the field that God assigned us, so as to reach even you.

isv@2Corinthians:10:14 @ For it is not as though we were overstepping our limits when we came to you. We were the first to reach you with the gospel of Christ.

isv@2Corinthians:10:15 @ We are not boasting about the work done by others that cannot be evaluated. On the contrary, we cherish the hope that your faith may continue to grow and enlarge our sphere of action among you until it overflows.

isv@2Corinthians:10:16 @ Then we can preach the gospel in the regions far beyond you without boasting about things already accomplished by someone else.

isv@2Corinthians:11:3 @ However, I am afraid that just as the serpent deceived Eve by its tricks, so your minds may somehow be lured away from sincere and pure devotion to Christ.

isv@2Corinthians:11:4 @ For if someone comes along and preaches another Jesus than the one we preached, or should you receive a different spirit from the one you received or a different gospel from the one you accepted, you are all too willing to listen.

isv@2Corinthians:11:6 @ Even though I may be untrained as an orator, I am not so in the field of knowledge. We have made this clear to all of you in every possible way.

isv@2Corinthians:11:21 @ I am ashamed to admit it, but we have been too weak for that. Whatever anyone else dares to claim—I am talking like a fool—I can claim it, too.

isv@2Corinthians:11:29 @ Who is weak without me being weak, too? Who is caused to stumble without me becoming indignant?

isv@2Corinthians:11:30 @ If I must boast, I will boast about the things that show how weak I am.

isv@2Corinthians:12:5 @ I will boast about this man, but as for myself I will boast only about my weaknesses.

isv@2Corinthians:12:6 @ However, if I did want to boast, I would not be a fool, because I would be telling the truth. But I am not going to do it in order to keep anyone from thinking more of me than what he sees and hears about me.

isv@2Corinthians:12:9 @ but he has told me,“My grace is all you need, for my power is perfected in weakness.” Therefore, I will most happily boast about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.

isv@2Corinthians:12:10 @ That is why I take such pleasure in weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and difficulties for Christ's sake, for when I am weak, then I am strong.

isv@2Corinthians:12:12 @ The signs of an apostle were performed among you with utmost patience—signs, wonders, and works of power.

isv@2Corinthians:12:13 @ How were you treated worse than the other churches, except that I did not bother you for help? Forgive me for this wrong!

isv@2Corinthians:12:18 @ I encouraged Titus to visit you, and I sent along with him the brother you know so well. Titus didn't take advantage of you, did he? We conducted ourselves with the same spirit, didn't we? We took the very same steps, didn't we?

isv@2Corinthians:12:19 @ Have you been thinking all along that we are trying to defend ourselves before you? We are speaking before God in Christ, and everything, dear friends, is meant to build you up.

isv@2Corinthians:13:3 @ since you want proof that Christ is speaking through me. He is not weak in dealing with you but is making his power felt among you.

isv@2Corinthians:13:4 @ Though he was crucified in weakness, he lives by God's power. We are weak with him, but by God's power we will live for you.

isv@2Corinthians:13:6 @ I hope you will realize that we haven't failed our test.

isv@2Corinthians:13:7 @ We pray to God that you will not do anything wrong—not to show that we have not failed the test, but so that you may do what is right, even if we seem to have failed.

isv@2Corinthians:13:8 @ For we cannot do anything against the truth, but only for the truth.

isv@2Corinthians:13:9 @ We are glad when we are weak and you are strong. That is what we are praying for—your maturity.

isv@Galatians:1:8 @ But even if we or an angel from heaven should proclaim to you a gospel contrary to what we proclaimed to you, let that person be condemned!

isv@Galatians:1:9 @ What we have told you in the past I am now telling you again: If anyone proclaims to you a gospel contrary to what you received, let that person be condemned!

isv@Galatians:1:10 @ Am I now trying to win the approval of people or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be Christ's servant.

isv@Galatians:1:17 @ nor did I go up to Jerusalem to see those who were apostles before me. Instead, I went away to Arabia and then came back to Damascus.

isv@Galatians:1:18 @ Then three years later I went up to Jerusalem to become acquainted with Cephas, and I stayed with him for fifteen days.

isv@Galatians:1:21 @ Then I went to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.

isv@Galatians:2:1 @ Then fourteen years later I again went up to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus with me.

isv@Galatians:2:2 @ I went in response to a revelation, and in a private meeting with the reputed leaders I set before them the gospel I proclaim among the Gentiles. I did this because I was afraid that I was running or had run for nothing.

isv@Galatians:2:4 @ However, false brothers were secretly brought in. They slipped in to spy on the freedom we have in Christ Jesus so that they might enslave us.

isv@Galatians:2:5 @ But we did not give in to them for a moment, so that the truth of the gospel might always remain with you.

isv@Galatians:2:6 @ Now those who were reputed to be important added nothing to my message. (What sort of people they were makes no difference to me, since God pays no attention to outward appearances.)

isv@Galatians:2:9 @ So when James, Cephas, and John (who were reputed to be leaders) recognized the grace that had been given me, they gave Barnabas and me the right hand of fellowship, agreeing that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised.

isv@Galatians:2:14 @ But when I saw that they were not acting consistently with the truth of the gospel, I told Cephas in front of everyone, “Though you are a Jew, you live like a Gentile and not like a Jew. So how can you insist that the Gentiles must live like Jews?”

isv@Galatians:2:15 @ We ourselves are Jews by birth, and not Gentile sinners,

isv@Galatians:2:16 @ yet we know that a person is not justified by the works of the law but by the faithfulness of Jesus Christ. We, too, have believed in Christ Jesus so that we might be justified by the faith of Christ and not by the works of the law, for no human being will be justified by the works of the law.

isv@Galatians:2:17 @ Now if we, while trying to be justified in Christ, have been found to be sinners, does that mean that Christ is a minister of sin? Of course not!

isv@Galatians:3:14 @ This happened in order that the blessing promised to Abraham would come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that we might receive the promised Spirit through faith.

isv@Galatians:3:16 @ Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his descendant. It doesn't say “descendants,” referring to many, but “your descendant,” referring to one person, who is Christ.

isv@Galatians:3:22 @ But the Scripture has put everything under the power of sin, so that what was promised by the faithfulness of Christ might be given to those who believe.

isv@Galatians:3:23 @ Now before this faith came, we were held in custody and carefully guarded under the law in preparation for the faith that was to be revealed.

isv@Galatians:3:24 @ And so the law was our guardian until Christ came, so that we might be justified by faith.

isv@Galatians:3:25 @ But now that this faith has come, we are no longer under the control of a guardian.

isv@Galatians:3:27 @ Indeed, all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.

isv@Galatians:4:3 @ It was the same way with us. While we were children, we were slaves to the basic principles of the world.

isv@Galatians:4:5 @ in order to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as his children.

isv@Galatians:4:8 @ However, in the past, when you did not know God, you were slaves to things that are not really gods at all.

isv@Galatians:4:9 @ But now that you know God, or rather have been known by God, how can you turn back again to those powerless and bankrupt basic principles? Why do you want to become their slaves all over again?

isv@Galatians:4:14 @ Even though my condition put you to the test, you did not despise or reject me. On the contrary, you welcomed me as if I were an angel of God, as Christ Jesus himself.

isv@Galatians:4:20 @ Indeed, I wish I were with you right now so that I could change the tone of my voice, because I am completely baffled by you!

isv@Galatians:4:31 @ So then, brothers, we are not children of the slave woman but of the free woman.

isv@Galatians:5:1 @ Christ has set us free so that we may enjoy the benefits of freedom. So keep on standing firm in it, and stop attaching yourselves to the yoke of slavery again.

isv@Galatians:5:5 @ For through the Spirit, by faith, we eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness.

isv@Galatians:5:7 @ You were running beautifully! Who cut in on you and stopped you from obeying the truth?

isv@Galatians:5:10 @ I am confident in the Lord that you will take no other view of the matter. However, the one who is troubling you will suffer God's judgment, whoever he is.

isv@Galatians:5:13 @ For you, brothers, were called to freedom. Only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity to gratify your flesh, but through love make it your habit to serve one another.

isv@Galatians:5:25 @ If we live by the Spirit, let us also be guided by the Spirit.

isv@Galatians:6:1 @ Brothers, if a person is caught doing something wrong, those of you who are spiritual should restore that person in a spirit of gentleness. Watch out for yourself so that you are not tempted as well.

isv@Galatians:6:9 @ Let us not get tired of doing what is good, for at the right time we will reap a harvest—if we do not give up.

isv@Galatians:6:10 @ So then, whenever we have the opportunity, let us practice doing good to everyone, especially to the family of faith.

isv@Ephesians:1:6 @ so that we would praise his glorious grace that he gave us in the Beloved One.

isv@Ephesians:1:7 @ In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our offenses, according to the riches of God's grace

isv@Ephesians:1:11 @ In Christ we were also chosen when we were predestined according to the purpose of the one who does everything according to the intention of his will,

isv@Ephesians:1:12 @ so that we who had already fixed our hope on Christ might live for his praise and glory.

isv@Ephesians:1:13 @ You, too, have heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed in him you were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit,

isv@Ephesians:1:19 @ and the unlimited greatness of his power for us who believe, according to the working of his mighty strength,

isv@Ephesians:1:21 @ He is far above every ruler, authority, power, dominion, and every name that can be named, not only in the present age but also in the one to come.

isv@Ephesians:2:2 @ in which you once lived according to the ways of this present world and according to the ruler of the power of the air, the spirit that is now active in those who are disobedient.

isv@Ephesians:2:3 @ Indeed, all of us once behaved like them in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of our flesh and senses. By nature we deserved wrath, just like everyone else.

isv@Ephesians:2:5 @ even when we were dead because of our offenses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),

isv@Ephesians:2:10 @ For we are his masterpiece, created in Christ Jesus for good works that God prepared long ago to be our way of life.

isv@Ephesians:2:11 @ So then, remember that at one time you were Gentiles by birth and were called “the uncircumcision” by what is called “the circumcision” made in the flesh by hands.

isv@Ephesians:2:12 @ At that time you were without Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise. You had no hope and were in the world without God.

isv@Ephesians:2:13 @ But now, in Christ Jesus, you who once were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ.

isv@Ephesians:2:17 @ He came and proclaimed peace for you who were far away and for you who were near.

isv@Ephesians:2:22 @ You, too, are being built in him along with the others into a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.

isv@Ephesians:3:7 @ I have become a servant of this gospel according to the gift of God's grace that was given me by the working of his power.

isv@Ephesians:3:8 @ To me, the very least of all the saints, this grace was given so that I might proclaim to the Gentiles the immeasurable wealth of Christ

isv@Ephesians:3:12 @ in whom we have boldness and confident access through his faithfulness.

isv@Ephesians:3:16 @ I pray that he would give you, according to his glorious riches, strength in your inner being and power through his Spirit,

isv@Ephesians:3:20 @ Now to the one who can do infinitely more than all we can ask or imagine according to the power that is working among us—

isv@Ephesians:4:4 @ There is one body and one Spirit. In the same way, you were called to the one hope of your calling.

isv@Ephesians:4:8 @ That is why God says, “When he went up to the highest placehe led captives into captivityand gave gifts to people.”

isv@Ephesians:4:9 @ Now what does this “he went up” mean except that he also had gone down into the lower parts of the earth?

isv@Ephesians:4:10 @ The one who went down is the same one who went up above all the heavens so that he might fill everything.

isv@Ephesians:4:13 @ until all of us are united in the faith and in the full knowledge of God's Son, and until we attain mature adulthood and the full standard of development in Christ.

isv@Ephesians:4:14 @ Then we will no longer be little children, tossed like waves and blown about by every wind of doctrine, by people's trickery, or by clever strategies that would lead us astray.

isv@Ephesians:4:15 @ Instead, by speaking the truth in love, we will grow up completely into the one who is the head, that is, into Christ,

isv@Ephesians:4:20 @ However, that is not the way you came to know Christ.

isv@Ephesians:4:22 @ Regarding your former way of life, you were taught to strip off your old man, which is being ruined by its deceptive desires,

isv@Ephesians:4:23 @ to be renewed in the spirit of your minds,

isv@Ephesians:4:25 @ Therefore, stripping off falsehood, “let each of us speak the truth to his neighbor,” for we are members of one another.

isv@Ephesians:4:30 @ Do not grieve the Holy Spirit, by whom you were marked with a seal for the day of redemption.

isv@Ephesians:5:5 @ For you know very well that no immoral or impure person, or anyone who is greedy (that is, an idolater), has an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

isv@Ephesians:5:8 @ For once you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light.

isv@Ephesians:5:30 @ For we are parts of his body—of his flesh and of his bones.

isv@Ephesians:6:3 @ “So that it may go well for you, and that you may have a long life on the earth.”

isv@Ephesians:6:7 @ Serve willingly, as if you were serving the Lord and not merely people.

isv@Ephesians:6:12 @ For our struggle is not against a human opponent, but against rulers, against authorities, against cosmic powers in the darkness around us, against evil spiritual forces in the heavenly realm.

isv@Ephesians:6:22 @ I am sending him to you for this very reason, so that you may know how we are doing and that he may encourage your hearts.

isv@Philippians:1:23 @ Indeed, I cannot decide between the two. I have the desire to leave this life and be with Christ, for that is far better.

isv@Philippians:2:20 @ I do not have anyone else like him who takes a genuine interest in your welfare.

isv@Philippians:2:29 @ So welcome him in the Lord with all joy, and make sure you honor such people highly.

isv@Philippians:3:3 @ For it is we who are the circumcision—we who worship in the Spirit of God and boast in Christ Jesus. We have not placed any confidence in the flesh,

isv@Philippians:3:7 @ But whatever things were assets to me, these I now consider a loss for the sake of Christ.

isv@Philippians:3:10 @ I want to know Christ—what his resurrection power is like and what it means to share in his sufferings by becoming like him in his death,

isv@Philippians:3:16 @ However, we should live up to what we have achieved so far.

isv@Philippians:3:17 @ Join together in imitating me, brothers, and pay close attention to those who live by the example we have given you.

isv@Philippians:3:20 @ Our citizenship, however, is in heaven, and it is from there that we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.

isv@Philippians:3:21 @ He will change our humble bodies and make them like his glorious body through the power that enables him to bring everything under his authority.

isv@Philippians:4:7 @ Then God's peace, which goes far beyond anything we can imagine, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

isv@Philippians:4:10 @ Now I rejoice in the Lord greatly, because once again you have shown your concern for me. Of course, you were concerned for me but you did not have an opportunity to show it.

isv@Colossians:1:3 @ We give thanks to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,

isv@Colossians:1:4 @ because we have heard about your faith in Christ Jesus and the love that you have for all the saints,

isv@Colossians:1:9 @ For this reason, since the day we heard about this, we have not stopped praying for you and asking that you may be filled with the full knowledge of God's will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,

isv@Colossians:1:11 @ You are being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might, so that you might patiently endure everything with joy

isv@Colossians:1:13 @ He has rescued us from the power of darkness and has brought us into the kingdom of the Son whom he loves.

isv@Colossians:1:14 @ In him we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

isv@Colossians:1:16 @ For by him all things in heaven and on earth were created, things visible and invisible, whether they are kings, lords, rulers, or powers. All things have been created through him and for him.

isv@Colossians:1:21 @ You who were once alienated and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds,

isv@Colossians:1:23 @ However, you must remain firmly established and steadfast in the faith, without being moved from the hope of the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven and of which I, Paul, have become a servant.

isv@Colossians:1:28 @ It is he whom we proclaim as we admonish everyone and teach everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone mature in Christ.

isv@Colossians:1:29 @ I work hard and struggle to do this according to his energy that powerfully works in me.

isv@Colossians:2:7 @ For you have been rooted in him and are being built up and strengthened in the faith, just as you were taught, while you overflow with thanksgiving.

isv@Colossians:2:11 @ In him you were also circumcised with a circumcision performed without human hands by stripping off the corrupt nature in the circumcision performed by Christ.

isv@Colossians:2:12 @ When you were buried with him in baptism, you were also raised with him through faith in the power of God, who raised him from the dead.

isv@Colossians:2:13 @ Even when you were dead because of your offenses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive with him when he forgave us all of our offenses,

isv@Colossians:2:14 @ having erased the charges that were brought against us with their decrees that were hostile to us. He took those charges away when he nailed them to the cross.

isv@Colossians:3:7 @ You used to behave like them when you were living among them.

isv@Colossians:3:10 @ and have clothed yourselves with the new man, which is being renewed into full knowledge according to the image of the one who created it.

isv@Colossians:3:15 @ Let the peace of Christ also rule in your hearts, to which you were called in one body, and be thankful.

isv@Colossians:3:16 @ Let the word of Christ dwell in you with all richness and wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, and singing to God with thankfulness in your hearts.

isv@Colossians:3:23 @ Whatever you do, work at it wholeheartedly as though you were doing it for the Lord and not merely for people.

isv@Colossians:4:3 @ At the same time also pray for us—that God would open before us a door for the word so that we may tell the secret about Christ, for which I have been imprisoned.

isv@Colossians:4:6 @ Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer everyone.

isv@Colossians:4:8 @ I am sending him to you for this very reason, so that you may know how we are doing and that he may encourage your hearts.

isv@Colossians:4:10 @ Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner, sends his greetings, as does Mark, the cousin of Barnabas. You have received instructions about him. If he comes to you, welcome him.

isv@1Thessalonians:1:2 @ We always thank God for all of you when we mention you in our prayers.

isv@1Thessalonians:1:3 @ In the presence of our God and Father, we constantly remember how your faith is active, your love is hard at work, and your hope in our Lord Jesus Christ is enduring.

isv@1Thessalonians:1:4 @ Brothers whom God loves, we know that he has chosen you,

isv@1Thessalonians:1:5 @ for the gospel we brought did not come to you in words only, but also with power, with the Holy Spirit, and with deep conviction. Indeed, you know what kind of people we proved to be while we were with you, acting on your behalf.

isv@1Thessalonians:1:6 @ You became imitators of us and of the Lord. In spite of a great deal of suffering, you welcomed the word with the joy that the Holy Spirit produces.

isv@1Thessalonians:1:8 @ From you the word of the Lord has spread out not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place where your faith in God has become known. As a result, we do not need to say anything.

isv@1Thessalonians:1:9 @ For people keep telling us what kind of welcome you gave us and how you turned away from idols to serve a living and true God

isv@1Thessalonians:2:2 @ As you know, we suffered persecution and were mistreated in Philippi. Yet we were encouraged by our God to tell you his gospel in spite of strong opposition.

isv@1Thessalonians:2:4 @ Rather, because we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, we speak as we do, not trying to please people but God, who tests our motives.

isv@1Thessalonians:2:5 @ As you know, we did not come with words of flattery or with a scheme to make money. God is our witness!

isv@1Thessalonians:2:6 @ We did not seek praise from people—from you or from anyone else—

isv@1Thessalonians:2:7 @ even though as apostles of Christ we might have made such demands. Instead, we were gentle among you, like a nursing mother tenderly caring for her own children.

isv@1Thessalonians:2:8 @ We cared so deeply for you that we were determined to share with you not only the gospel of God but our very lives. That is how dear you were to us.

isv@1Thessalonians:2:9 @ You remember, brothers, our labor and toil. We worked night and day so that we would not become a burden to any of you while we proclaimed the gospel of God to you.

isv@1Thessalonians:2:11 @ You know very well that we treated each of you the way a father treats his children.

isv@1Thessalonians:2:12 @ We comforted and encouraged you, urging you to live in a manner worthy of the God who calls you into his kingdom and glory.

isv@1Thessalonians:2:13 @ Here is another reason why we constantly give thanks to God: When you received God's word, which you heard from us, you did not accept it as the word of humans but for what it really is—the word of God, which is at work in you who believe.

isv@1Thessalonians:2:16 @ because they try to keep us from telling the Gentiles how they can be saved. The result is that they are always adding to the measure of their sins. However, wrath has come on them at last!

isv@1Thessalonians:2:17 @ Brothers, although we have been separated from you for a little while—in person but not in heart—we desire with great eagerness to see you again face to face.

isv@1Thessalonians:2:18 @ That is why we wanted to come to you. Certainly I, Paul, time and again wanted to come, but Satan blocked our way.

isv@1Thessalonians:3:1 @ Therefore, when we could stand it no longer, we decided to remain alone in Athens

isv@1Thessalonians:3:3 @ so that no one would be shaken by these persecutions. Indeed, you yourselves know that we were destined for this.

isv@1Thessalonians:3:4 @ In fact, when we were with you, we told you ahead of time that we were going to suffer persecution. And as you know, that is what happened.

isv@1Thessalonians:3:6 @ But Timothy has just now come back to us from you and has told us the good news about your faith and love. He also told us that you always have fond memories of us and want to see us, just as we want to see you.

isv@1Thessalonians:3:7 @ That's why, brothers, in all our distress and persecution we have been encouraged about you by your faith.

isv@1Thessalonians:3:8 @ For now we can go on living, as long as you continue to stand firm in the Lord.

isv@1Thessalonians:3:9 @ How can we thank God enough for you in return for all the joy that we have in God's presence because of you?

isv@1Thessalonians:3:10 @ We pray very hard night and day that we may see you again face to face, so that we may supply whatever is lacking in your faith.

isv@1Thessalonians:3:12 @ May the Lord greatly increase your love for each other and for all people, just as we love you.

isv@1Thessalonians:4:1 @ Now then, brothers, you learned from us how you ought to live and to please God, as in fact you are doing. We ask and encourage you in the Lord to do so even more.

isv@1Thessalonians:4:2 @ You know what instructions we gave you through the Lord Jesus.

isv@1Thessalonians:4:6 @ and you must never take advantage of or exploit a brother in this regard. For the Lord is an avenger in all these things, just as we already told you and warned you.

isv@1Thessalonians:4:10 @ In fact, you are showing love to all the brothers throughout Macedonia. But we urge you, brothers, to do this even more.

isv@1Thessalonians:4:11 @ Also, make it your goal to live quietly, to mind your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we instructed you,

isv@1Thessalonians:4:13 @ But we do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, about those who have died, so that you may not grieve like other people who have no hope.

isv@1Thessalonians:4:14 @ For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so it is through Jesus that God will bring back with him those who have died.

isv@1Thessalonians:4:15 @ For this we declare to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who have died.

isv@1Thessalonians:4:17 @ Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up in the clouds together with them to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.

isv@1Thessalonians:5:2 @ for you yourselves know very well that the Day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.

isv@1Thessalonians:5:4 @ However, brothers, you are not in the darkness, in order that the day might surprise you like a thief.

isv@1Thessalonians:5:5 @ For all of you are children of light and children of day. We do not belong to the night or to darkness.

isv@1Thessalonians:5:8 @ But since we belong to the day, let us be sober. We must put on the breastplate of faith and love, and the hope of salvation as a helmet.

isv@1Thessalonians:5:10 @ who died for us in order that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with him.

isv@1Thessalonians:5:12 @ Brothers, we ask you to show your appreciation for those who work among you, set an example for you in the Lord, and instruct you.

isv@1Thessalonians:5:14 @ We urge you, brothers, to instruct those who are idle, cheer up those who are discouraged, and help those who are weak. Be patient with everyone.

isv@2Thessalonians:1:3 @ At all times we are obligated to thank God for you, brothers. It is right to do this because your faith is growing all the time and the love of every one of you for each other is increasing.

isv@2Thessalonians:1:4 @ As a result, we boast about you among God's churches—about your endurance and faith through all the persecutions and afflictions you are experiencing.

isv@2Thessalonians:1:9 @ Such people will suffer the punishment of eternal destruction by being separated from the Lord's presence and from his glorious power

isv@2Thessalonians:1:11 @ With this in mind, we always pray for you, asking that our God might make you worthy of his calling and that through his power he might help you accomplish every good desire and faithful work.

isv@2Thessalonians:2:1 @ Now we ask you, brothers, regarding the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to him,

isv@2Thessalonians:2:2 @ not to be so quickly upset or alarmed when someone claims that we said either by some spirit, conversation, or letter that the Day of the Lord has already come.

isv@2Thessalonians:2:8 @ Then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will destroy with the breath of his mouth, rendering him powerless by the manifestation of his coming.

isv@2Thessalonians:2:9 @ The coming of the lawless one will be accompanied by the power of Satan. He will use every kind of power, including miraculous signs, lying wonders,

isv@2Thessalonians:2:11 @ For this reason, God will send them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie.

isv@2Thessalonians:2:13 @ At all times we are obligated to thank God for you, brothers who are loved by the Lord, because God chose you to be the first fruits for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and through faith in the truth.

isv@2Thessalonians:2:15 @ So then, brothers, stand firm, and cling to the traditions that you were taught by us, either by word of mouth or by our letter.

isv@2Thessalonians:3:2 @ Also pray that we may be rescued from worthless and evil people, since not everyone holds to the faith.

isv@2Thessalonians:3:4 @ We have confidence in the Lord that you are doing and will continue to do what we command.

isv@2Thessalonians:3:6 @ In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ we command you, brothers, to keep away from every brother who is living in idleness and not living according to the tradition that they received from us.

isv@2Thessalonians:3:7 @ For you yourselves know what you must do to imitate us. We did not live in idleness among you.

isv@2Thessalonians:3:8 @ We did not eat anyone's food without paying for it. Instead, with toil and labor we worked night and day in order not to be a burden to any of you.

isv@2Thessalonians:3:9 @ It is not as though we did not have that right, but, we wanted to give you an example to follow.

isv@2Thessalonians:3:10 @ While we were with you, we gave this order: “If anyone doesn't want to work, he shouldn't eat.”

isv@2Thessalonians:3:11 @ We hear that some of you are living in idleness. You are not busy working—you are busy interfering in other people's lives!

isv@2Thessalonians:3:12 @ We order and encourage such people by the Lord Jesus Christ to do their work quietly and to earn their own living.

isv@2Thessalonians:3:14 @ If anyone does not obey what we say in this letter, take note of him. Have nothing to do with him so that he will feel ashamed.

isv@1Timothy:1:8 @ Of course, we know that the law is good if a person uses it legitimately,

isv@1Timothy:1:14 @ and the grace of our Lord overflowed toward me, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.

isv@1Timothy:2:2 @ for kings, and for everyone who has authority, so that we might lead a quiet and peaceful life with all godliness and dignity.

isv@1Timothy:2:5 @ There is one God. There is also one mediator between God and human beings—a human, Christ Jesus.

isv@1Timothy:2:9 @ Women, for their part, should display their beauty by dressing modestly and decently in appropriate clothes, not by braiding their hair or by wearing gold, pearls, or expensive clothes,

isv@1Timothy:2:15 @ However, women will be saved by having children, if they continue to have faith, love, and holiness, along with good judgment.

isv@1Timothy:3:4 @ He must manage his own family well and have children who are submissive and respectful in every way.

isv@1Timothy:3:7 @ He must be well thought of by outsiders, lest he fall into disgrace and the trap set for him by the devil.

isv@1Timothy:3:12 @ Deacons must be husbands of one wife and must manage their children and their families well.

isv@1Timothy:3:13 @ Those deacons who serve well gain an excellent reputation for themselves and will have great assurance in their faith in Christ Jesus.

isv@1Timothy:3:14 @ I hope to come to you soon. However, I'm writing this to you

isv@1Timothy:4:6 @ If you continue to point these things out to the brothers, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, nourished by the words of the faith and the healthy teaching that you have followed closely.

isv@1Timothy:4:10 @ To this end we work hard and struggle, because we have set our hope on the living God, who is the Savior of all people, that is, of those who believe.

isv@1Timothy:5:1 @ Never speak harshly to an older man, but appeal to him as if he were your father. Treat younger men like brothers,

isv@1Timothy:5:10 @ She must be well known for her good works as a woman who has raised children, welcomed strangers, washed the saints’ feet, helped the suffering, and devoted herself to doing good in every way.

isv@1Timothy:5:17 @ Elders who handle their duties well should be considered worthy of double compensation, especially those who work hard at preaching and teaching.

isv@1Timothy:6:5 @ and incessant conflict between people who are depraved in mind and deprived of truth. They think that godliness is a way to make a profit.

isv@1Timothy:6:7 @ For we did not bring anything into the world, and surely we cannot take anything out of it.

isv@1Timothy:6:8 @ So as long as we have food and clothes, we will be satisfied with these.

isv@1Timothy:6:12 @ Fight the good fight for the faith. Keep your hold on eternal life, to which you were called and about which you gave a good testimony in front of many witnesses.

isv@1Timothy:6:16 @ He alone has endless life and lives in inaccessible light. No one has ever seen him, nor can anyone see him. Honor and eternal power belong to him! Amen.

isv@2Timothy:1:7 @ For God did not give us a spirit of timidity but one of power, love, and self-discipline.

isv@2Timothy:1:8 @ Therefore, never be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord or of me, his prisoner. Instead, by God's power, join me in suffering for the sake of the gospel.

isv@2Timothy:1:10 @ Now, however, it has been revealed through the coming of our Savior Christ Jesus, who has destroyed death and through the gospel has brought life and release from death into full view.

isv@2Timothy:1:12 @ That is why I suffer as I do. However, I am not ashamed, for I know the one in whom I have put my trust, and I'm convinced that he is able to protect what he has entrusted to me until that day.

isv@2Timothy:1:18 @ May the Lord grant that he finds mercy from the Lord on that day. You know very well how much he assisted me in Ephesus.

isv@2Timothy:2:2 @ What you have heard from me through many witnesses entrust to faithful people who will be able to teach others as well.

isv@2Timothy:2:9 @ Because of it I am experiencing trouble, even to the point of being chained like a criminal. However, God's word is not chained.

isv@2Timothy:2:11 @ This saying is trustworthy: In dying with Christ,true life we gain.

isv@2Timothy:2:12 @ Enduring, we with him shall reign.Who him denies,he will disclaim.

isv@2Timothy:2:16 @ However, avoid pointless discussions. For people will become more and more ungodly,

isv@2Timothy:2:19 @ However, God's solid foundation still stands. It has this inscription on it: “The Lord knows those who belong to him,” and “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord must turn away from evil.”

isv@2Timothy:3:1 @ You must realize, however, that in the last days difficult times will come.

isv@2Timothy:3:5 @ They will hold to an outward form of godliness but deny its power. Stay away from such people.

isv@2Timothy:4:13 @ When you come, bring the coat I left with Carpus in Troas, as well as the scrolls and especially the parchments.

isv@2Timothy:4:17 @ However, the Lord stood by me and gave me strength so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed and all the Gentiles could hear it. I was rescued out of a lion's mouth.

isv@Titus:1:4 @ To Titus, a genuine child in the faith we share. May grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior be yours!

isv@Titus:2:12 @ It trains us to renounce ungodly living and worldly passions so that we might live sensible, honest, and godly lives in the present world

isv@Titus:2:13 @ as we wait for the blessed hope and the glorious appearance of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.

isv@Titus:2:14 @ He gave himself for us to set us free from every wrong and to cleanse us so that we could be his special people who are enthusiastic about good works.

isv@Titus:3:3 @ After all, we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, and misled. We were slaves to many kinds of lusts and pleasures, spending our days in malice and jealousy. We were despised, and we hated one another.

isv@Titus:3:4 @ However, In grace our Savior God appeared,His love for mankind to make clear.

isv@Titus:3:5 @ ‘Twas not for deeds that we had done, But by his steadfast love alone, He saved us through a second birth,Renewed us by the Spirit's work,

isv@Titus:3:7 @ And so, made right by his own grace,Eternal life we now embrace.

isv@Philemon:1:17 @ So if you consider me a partner, welcome him as you would welcome me.

isv@Philemon:1:18 @ If he has wronged you in any way or owes you anything, charge it to my account.

isv@Philemon:1:19 @ I, Paul, am writing this with my own hand: I will repay it. (I will not mention to you that you owe me your very life.)

isv@Hebrews:1:3 @ He is the reflection of God's glory and the exact likeness of his being, and he holds everything together by his powerful word. After he had provided a cleansing from sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Highest Majesty

isv@Hebrews:1:11 @ They will come to an end,but you will remain forever.They will all wear out like clothes.

isv@Hebrews:2:1 @ For this reason we must pay closer attention to the things we have heard, or we may drift away.

isv@Hebrews:2:3 @ how will we escape if we neglect a salvation as great as this? It was first proclaimed by the Lord himself, and then it was confirmed to us by those who heard him,

isv@Hebrews:2:5 @ For he did not put the coming world we are talking about under the control of angels.

isv@Hebrews:2:7 @ You made him a little lower than the angels,yet you crowned him with glory and honor

isv@Hebrews:2:8 @ and put everything under his feet.”Now when God put everything under him, he left nothing outside his control. However, at the present time we do not yet see everything put under him.

isv@Hebrews:2:9 @ But we do see someone who was made a little lower than the angels. He is Jesus, who is crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death, so that by the grace of God he might experience death for everyone.

isv@Hebrews:2:14 @ Therefore, since the children have flesh and blood, he himself also shared the same things, so that by his death he might destroy the one who has the power of death (that is, the devil)

isv@Hebrews:2:15 @ and might free those who were slaves all their lives because they were terrified by death.

isv@Hebrews:3:6 @ but Christ was faithful as the Son in charge of God's household, and we are his household if we hold on to our courage and the hope that we boast about.

isv@Hebrews:3:14 @ For we are Christ's partners only if we hold on to our original confidence to the end.

isv@Hebrews:3:18 @ And to whom did he swear that they would never enter his rest, if not to those who disobeyed him?

isv@Hebrews:3:19 @ So we see that they were unable to enter because of their unbelief.

isv@Hebrews:4:2 @ For we have had the good news told to us as well as to them, but the message they heard did not help them, because they were not united by faith with those who listened to it.

isv@Hebrews:4:3 @ For we who have believed are entering that rest, just as he has said, “So in my anger I swore a solemn oaththat they would never enter my rest,”even though his works had been finished since the foundation of the world.

isv@Hebrews:4:13 @ No creature can hide from him, but all are naked and helpless before the eyes of the one to whom we must give a word of explanation.

isv@Hebrews:4:14 @ Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has gone through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us continue to hold on to our confession.

isv@Hebrews:4:15 @ For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin.

isv@Hebrews:4:16 @ So let us keep on coming with boldness to the throne of grace, so that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

isv@Hebrews:5:2 @ He can deal gently with people who are ignorant and easily deceived, since he himself is subject to weakness.

isv@Hebrews:5:3 @ For that reason he is obligated to offer sacrifices for his own sins as well as for those of the people.

isv@Hebrews:5:11 @ We have much to say about this, but it is difficult to explain because you have become too lazy to understand.

isv@Hebrews:6:3 @ And this we will do, if God permits.

isv@Hebrews:6:5 @ who have tasted the goodness of God's word and the powers of the coming age,

isv@Hebrews:6:8 @ However, if it continues to produce thorns and thistles, it is worthless and in danger of being cursed, and in the end will be burned.

isv@Hebrews:6:9 @ Even though we speak like this, dear friends, we are convinced of better things in your case, things that point to salvation.

isv@Hebrews:6:11 @ But we want each of you to continue to show this same diligence to the very end, in order to give full assurance to your hope.

isv@Hebrews:6:13 @ For when God made his promise to Abraham, he swore an oath by himself, since he had no one greater to swear by.

isv@Hebrews:6:16 @ For people swear by someone greater than themselves, and an oath given as confirmation puts an end to all argument.

isv@Hebrews:6:18 @ so that by these two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to prove false, we who have taken refuge in him might have a strong encouragement to seize the hope set before us.

isv@Hebrews:6:19 @ We have this hope as an anchor for our souls, firm and secure, which reaches behind the curtain,

isv@Hebrews:7:8 @ The men who collect the tenth die, but we are told that he keeps on living.

isv@Hebrews:7:13 @ For the person we are talking about belonged to a different tribe, and no one from that tribe has ever served at the altar.

isv@Hebrews:7:16 @ who was appointed to be a priest, not on the basis of a regulation concerning his ancestry, but rather on the basis of the power of an indestructible life.

isv@Hebrews:7:18 @ Indeed, the cancellation of the former regulation has occurred because it was weak and ineffective

isv@Hebrews:7:19 @ (for the law made nothing perfect), and a better hope is introduced, by which we approach God.

isv@Hebrews:7:26 @ We need such a high priest—one who is holy, innocent, pure, set apart from sinners, exalted above the heavens.

isv@Hebrews:7:28 @ For the law appoints as high priests men who are weak, but the word of the oath, which came after the law, appoints a Son who has been made perfect forever.

isv@Hebrews:8:1 @ Now the main point in what we are saying is this: we do have this kind of high priest, who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven

isv@Hebrews:8:4 @ Now if he were on earth, he would not even be a priest, because other men offer the gifts prescribed by the law.

isv@Hebrews:8:6 @ However, Jesus has now obtained a ministry that is as superior to theirs as the covenant he mediates is founded on better promises.

isv@Hebrews:9:2 @ For a tabernacle was set up, and in the first part were the lampstand, the table, and the bread of the Presence. This was called the Holy Place.

isv@Hebrews:9:4 @ which had the gold altar for incense and the ark of the covenant completely covered with gold. In it were the gold jar holding the manna, Aaron's staff that had budded, and the tablets of the covenant.

isv@Hebrews:9:5 @ Above it were the cherubim of glory overshadowing the place of atonement. (We cannot discuss these things in detail now.)

isv@Hebrews:9:6 @ When everything had been arranged like this, the priests always went into the first part of the tabernacle to perform their duties.

isv@Hebrews:9:7 @ But only the high priest went into the second part, and then only once a year, and never without blood, which he offered for himself and for the sins committed by the people in ignorance.

isv@Hebrews:9:11 @ But when Christ came as a high priest of the good things that have come, he went through the greater and more perfect tabernacle that was not made by human hands and that is not a part of this creation.

isv@Hebrews:9:12 @ Not with the blood of goats and calves, but with his own blood he went into the Holy of Holies once for all and secured our eternal redemption.

isv@Hebrews:9:14 @ how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from dead works so that we may serve the living God!

isv@Hebrews:10:10 @ By his will we have been sanctified once for all through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ.

isv@Hebrews:10:19 @ Therefore, my brothers, since we have confidence to enter the sanctuary by the blood of Jesus,

isv@Hebrews:10:21 @ and since we have a great high priest over the household of God,

isv@Hebrews:10:23 @ Let us continue to hold firmly to the hope that we confess without wavering, for the one who made the promise is faithful.

isv@Hebrews:10:26 @ For if we choose to go on sinning after we have received the full knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,

isv@Hebrews:10:30 @ For we know the one who said, “Vengeance belongs to me; I will pay them back,” and again, “The Lord will judge his people.”

isv@Hebrews:10:32 @ But you must continue to remember those earlier days, how after you were enlightened you endured a hard and painful struggle.

isv@Hebrews:10:33 @ At times you were made a public spectacle through insults and persecutions, while at other times you associated with people who were treated this way.

isv@Hebrews:10:39 @ Now, we do not belong to those who turn back and are destroyed, but to those who have faith and are saved.

isv@Hebrews:11:1 @ Now faith is the assurance of things we hope for, the certainty of things we cannot see.

isv@Hebrews:11:3 @ By faith we understand that the universe was prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was made from things that are invisible.

isv@Hebrews:11:8 @ By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going.

isv@Hebrews:11:9 @ By faith he made his home in the promised land like a stranger, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise.

isv@Hebrews:11:13 @ All these people died having faith. They did not receive the things that were promised, yet they saw them in the distant future and welcomed them, acknowledging that they were strangers and foreigners on earth.

isv@Hebrews:11:16 @ Instead, they were longing for a better country, that is, a heavenly one. That is why God is not ashamed to be called their God, because he has prepared a city for them.

isv@Hebrews:11:23 @ By faith Moses was hidden by his parents for three months after he was born, because they saw that he was a beautiful child and were not afraid of the king's order.

isv@Hebrews:11:29 @ By faith they went through the Red Sea as if it were dry land. When the Egyptians tried to do this, they were drowned.

isv@Hebrews:11:31 @ By faith Rahab the prostitute did not die with those who were disobedient, because she had welcomed the spies with a greeting of peace.

isv@Hebrews:11:34 @ put out raging fires, escaped death by the sword, found strength in weakness, became powerful in battle, and routed foreign armies.

isv@Hebrews:11:35 @ Women received back their dead through a resurrection. Others were brutally tortured but refused to accept release, so that they might gain a better resurrection.

isv@Hebrews:11:37 @ They were stoned to death, sawed in half, and killed with swords. They went around in sheepskins and goatskins. They were needy, oppressed, and mistreated.

isv@Hebrews:12:9 @ Furthermore, we had earthly fathers who used to discipline us, and we respected them for it. We should even more submit to the Father of our spirits and live, shouldn't we?

isv@Hebrews:12:10 @ For a short time they disciplined us as they thought best, but he does it for our good, so that we may share in his holiness.

isv@Hebrews:12:11 @ No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, for those who have been trained by it, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace.

isv@Hebrews:12:12 @ Therefore, strengthen your tired arms and your weak knees,

isv@Hebrews:12:14 @ Pursue peace with everyone, as well as holiness, without which no one will see the Lord.

isv@Hebrews:12:25 @ See to it that you do not ignore the one who is speaking. For if they did not escape when they ignored the one who warned them on earth, how much less will we escape if we turn away from the one who is from heaven!

isv@Hebrews:12:28 @ Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful and worship God in reverence and fear in a way that pleases him.

isv@Hebrews:13:3 @ Continue to remember those in prison as if you were in prison with them, as well as those who are mistreated, since they also are only mortal.

isv@Hebrews:13:6 @ Hence we can confidently say, “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can anyone do to me?”

isv@Hebrews:13:10 @ We have an altar, and those who serve in the tabernacle have no right to eat at it.

isv@Hebrews:13:14 @ For here we have no permanent city but are looking for the one that is coming.

isv@Hebrews:13:18 @ Pray for us, for we are sure that we have a clear conscience and desire to live honorably in every way.

isv@James:1:1 @ From James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes in the Dispersion. Greetings.

isv@James:1:10 @ and a rich person in his lowliness, because he will fade away like a flower in the grass.

isv@James:1:11 @ For the sun comes up with its scorching heat and dries up the grass. The flower in it drops off, and its beauty is gone. That is how the rich person will fade away in his pursuits.

isv@James:1:18 @ In accordance with his will he made us his children by the word of truth, so that we might become the most important of his creatures.

isv@James:1:21 @ Therefore, rid yourselves of everything impure and every expression of wickedness, and with a gentle spirit welcome the word planted in you that can save your souls.

isv@James:2:2 @ Suppose a man wearing gold rings and fine clothes comes into your assembly, and a poor man in dirty clothes also comes in.

isv@James:2:3 @ If you give special attention to the man wearing fine clothes and say, “Please take this seat,” but you say to the poor man, “Stand over there” or “Sit on the floor at my feet,”

isv@James:2:25 @ Likewise, Rahab the prostitute was justified by works when she welcomed the messengers and sent them away on a different road, wasn't she?

isv@James:3:1 @ Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more severely.

isv@James:3:3 @ Now if we put bits into horses’ mouths to make them obey us, we can guide their whole bodies as well.

isv@James:3:9 @ With it we bless the Lord and Father, and with it we curse those who are made in God's likeness.

isv@James:3:17 @ However, the wisdom that comes from above is first of all pure, then peace-loving, gentle, willing to yield, full of compassion and good fruits, and without a trace of partiality or hypocrisy.

isv@James:4:13 @ Now listen, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a town, stay there a year, conduct business, and make money.”

isv@James:4:15 @ Instead you should say, “If the Lord wants us to, we will live—and do this or that.”

isv@James:5:11 @ We consider those who endured to be blessed. You have heard about Job's endurance and have seen the purpose of the Lord—that the Lord is compassionate and merciful.

isv@James:5:12 @ Above all, brothers, do not swear oaths by heaven, by earth, or by any other object. Instead, let your “Yes” mean yes and your “No” mean no, lest you fall under condemnation.

isv@James:5:16 @ Therefore, make it your habit to confess your sins to one another and to pray for one another, so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.

isv@1Peter:1:5 @ Through faith you are being protected by God's power for a salvation that is ready to be revealed at the end of time.

isv@1Peter:1:12 @ It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves but you in regard to the things that have now been announced to you by those who brought you the good news through the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. These are things that even the angels desire to look into.

isv@1Peter:1:24 @ For “All human life is like grass,and all its glory is like a flower in the grass. The grass dries up and the flower drops off,

isv@1Peter:2:8 @ a stone they stumble over and a rock they trip on.”They keep on stumbling because they disobey the word, as they were destined to do.

isv@1Peter:2:10 @ Once you were not a people,but now you are the people of God. Once you had not received mercy,but now you have received mercy.

isv@1Peter:2:21 @ This is, in fact, what you were called to do, because Christ also suffered for you and left an example for you to follow in his steps.

isv@1Peter:2:24 @ He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to those sins and live for righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed.

isv@1Peter:2:25 @ For you were like sheep that kept going astray, but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.

isv@1Peter:3:3 @ Your beauty should not be an external one, consisting of braided hair or the wearing of gold ornaments and dresses.

isv@1Peter:3:9 @ Do not pay others back evil for evil or insult for insult. Instead, bless them, because you were called to inherit a blessing.

isv@1Peter:3:19 @ in which he went and made a proclamation to those imprisoned spirits

isv@1Peter:3:20 @ who disobeyed long ago in the days of Noah, when God waited patiently while the ark was being built. In it a few, that is, eight persons, were saved by water.

isv@1Peter:3:22 @ who has gone to heaven and is at the right hand of God, where angels, authorities, and powers have been made subject to him.

isv@1Peter:4:11 @ Whoever speaks must speak God's words. Whoever serves must serve with the strength that God supplies, so that in every way God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. Glory and power belong to him forever and ever! Amen.

isv@1Peter:4:12 @ Dear friends, do not be surprised by the fiery ordeal that is taking place among you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you.

isv@1Peter:5:11 @ Power belongs to him forever and ever! Amen.

isv@2Peter:1:3 @ His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through the full knowledge of the one who called us by his own glory and excellence.

isv@2Peter:1:16 @ When we told you about the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, we did not follow any clever myths. Rather, we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.

isv@2Peter:1:18 @ We ourselves heard this voice that came from heaven when we were with him on the holy mountain.

isv@2Peter:1:19 @ Thus we regard the message of the prophets as confirmed beyond doubt, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a lamp that is shining in a gloomy place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.

isv@2Peter:1:21 @ because no prophecy ever originated through a human decision. Instead, men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

isv@2Peter:2:1 @ Now there were false prophets among the people, just as there also will be false teachers among you, who will secretly introduce destructive heresies and even deny the Master who bought them, bringing swift destruction on themselves.

isv@2Peter:2:11 @ Yet even angels, although they are greater in strength and power, do not bring a slanderous accusation against them from the Lord.

isv@2Peter:3:13 @ But in keeping with his promise, we are looking forward to new heavens and a new earth, where righteousness is at home.

isv@1John:1:1 @ What existed from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we observed and touched with our own hands—this is the Word of life!

isv@1John:1:3 @ What we have seen and heard we declare to you so that you, too, can have fellowship with us. Now this fellowship of ours is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ.

isv@1John:1:4 @ We are writing these things so that our joy may be full.

isv@1John:1:5 @ This is the message that we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light, and in him there is no darkness—none at all!

isv@1John:1:6 @ If we claim that we have fellowship with him but keep living in the darkness, we are lying and the truth is not in us.

isv@1John:1:7 @ But if we keep living in the light as he himself is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.

isv@1John:1:8 @ If we say that we do not have any sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us.

isv@1John:1:9 @ If we make it our habit to confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us those sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

isv@1John:1:10 @ If we say that we have never sinned, we make him a liar and his word is not in us.

isv@1John:2:1 @ My little children, I'm writing these things to you so that you might not sin. Yet if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father—Jesus Christ, one who is righteous.

isv@1John:2:3 @ This is how we can be sure that we have come to know him: if we continually keep his commandments.

isv@1John:2:5 @ But whoever continually keeps his word is the kind of person in whom God's love has truly been perfected. This is how we can be sure that we are in union with him:

isv@1John:2:18 @ Little children, it is the last hour. Just as you heard that an antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have appeared. This is how we know it is the last hour.

isv@1John:2:19 @ They left us, but they were not part of us, for if they had been part of us, they would have stayed with us. They simply made it clear that none of them was really part of us.

isv@1John:2:28 @ Even now, little children, abide in him. Then, when he appears, we will have confidence and will not turn away from him in shame at his coming.

isv@1John:3:1 @ See what kind of love the Father has given us in letting us be called God's children! Yet that is what we are. For this reason the world does not recognize us, because it did not recognize him either.

isv@1John:3:2 @ Dear friends, we are now God's children, but what we will be like has not been revealed yet. We know that when Christ is revealed we will be like him, because we will see him as he is.

isv@1John:3:11 @ This is the message that you have heard from the beginning: We should love one another.

isv@1John:3:12 @ Do not be like Cain, who was from the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own deeds were evil and his brother's were righteous.

isv@1John:3:14 @ We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love one another. The person who does not love remains in death.

isv@1John:3:16 @ This is how we have come to know love: Christ gave his life for us. We, too, ought to give our lives for our brothers.

isv@1John:3:18 @ Little children, we must stop loving in word and in tongue, but instead love in action and in truth.

isv@1John:3:19 @ And this is how we will know that we belong to the truth and how we will be able to establish our hearts in his presence.

isv@1John:3:21 @ Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence in the presence of God.

isv@1John:3:22 @ Whatever we request we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do what pleases him.

isv@1John:3:24 @ The person who keeps his commandments abides in God, and God abides in him. This is how we can be sure that he remains in us: he has given us his Spirit.

isv@1John:4:6 @ We belong to God. The person who knows God listens to us. Whoever does not belong to God does not listen to us. This is how we know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of deceit.

isv@1John:4:9 @ This is how God's love was revealed among us: God sent his unique Son into the world so that we might live through him.

isv@1John:4:10 @ This is love: not that we have loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins.

isv@1John:4:11 @ Dear friends, if this is the way God loved us, we must also love one another.

isv@1John:4:12 @ No one has ever seen God. If we love one another, God lives in us, and his love is perfected in us.

isv@1John:4:13 @ This is how we know that we abide in him and he in us: he has given us his Spirit.

isv@1John:4:14 @ We have seen for ourselves and can testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world.

isv@1John:4:16 @ We have come to know and believe in the love that God has for us. God is love, and the person who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.

isv@1John:4:17 @ This is how love has been perfected among us: we will have confidence on the day of judgment because, while we are in this world, we are just like him.

isv@1John:4:19 @ We love because he first loved us.

isv@1John:4:21 @ And this is the commandment that we have from him: the person who loves God must also love his brother.

isv@1John:5:2 @ This is how we know that we love God's children: we love God and keep his commandments.

isv@1John:5:3 @ For this is the love of God: that we keep his commandments; and his commandments are not difficult,

isv@1John:5:9 @ If we accept human testimony, God's testimony is greater, because it is the testimony of God and because he has testified about his Son.

isv@1John:5:14 @ And this is the confidence that we have in him: if we ask for anything according to his will, he listens to us.

isv@1John:5:15 @ And if we know that he listens to our requests, we can be sure that we have what we ask him for.

isv@1John:5:18 @ We know that the person who has been born from God does not go on sinning. Rather, the Son of God protects them, and the evil one cannot harm them.

isv@1John:5:19 @ We know that we are from God and that the whole world lies under the control of the evil one.

isv@1John:5:20 @ We also know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding so that we may know the true God. We are in union with the one who is true, his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.

isv@2John:1:5 @ I am now requesting you, dear lady, that we continue to love each other. It is not as though I am writing to give you a new commandment, but one that we have had from the beginning.

isv@2John:1:6 @ And this is love: that we live according to his commandments. This is his commandment, just as you have heard it from the beginning. You must live by it.

isv@2John:1:8 @ See to it that you don't destroy what we have worked for, but that you receive your full reward.

isv@3John:1:2 @ Dear friend, I pray that you are doing well in every way and that you are healthy, just as your soul is healthy.

isv@3John:1:6 @ They have testified before the church about your love. You will do well to send them on their way in a manner worthy of God.

isv@3John:1:7 @ After all, they went on their trip for the sake of Christ's name, accepting no support from the Gentiles.

isv@3John:1:8 @ Therefore, we ought to support such people so that we can become their helpers in spreading the truth.

isv@3John:1:12 @ Demetrius has received a good report from everyone, including the truth itself. We, too, can testify to this, and you know that our testimony is true.

isv@Jude:1:3 @ Dear friends, although I was eager to write to you about the salvation we share, I found it necessary to write to you and urge you to continue your vigorous defense of the faith that was passed down to the saints once and for all.

isv@Jude:1:4 @ For some people have slipped in among you unnoticed. They were written about long ago as being deserving of this condemnation because they are ungodly. They turn the grace of our God into uncontrollable lust and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.

isv@Jude:1:11 @ How terrible it will be for them! For they followed the path of Cain, rushed headlong into Balaam's error to make a profit, and destroyed themselves in Korah's rebellion.

isv@Jude:1:12 @ These people are stains on your love feasts. They feast with you without any sense of awe. They are shepherds who care only for themselves. They are waterless clouds blown about by the winds. They are autumn trees that are fruitless, twice dead, and uprooted.

isv@Jude:1:25 @ to the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, power, and authority before all time and for all eternity! Amen.
