bwe@Matthew:5:14 @ You are like light in the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hidden.

bwe@Matthew:5:18 @ I tell you the truth. Until the sky and the earth are taken away, not one small part of the law will be taken away, until everything has been done.

bwe@Matthew:5:23 @ Perhaps you are bringing your gift to God at his altar. There you remember that your brother has something against you.

bwe@Matthew:6:2 @ So when you give money to poor people, do not send men in front of you to blow trumpets or horns. Some people do this in the meeting houses and on the streets so that people will praise them. They are not true to themselves. I tell you the truth. They have their pay already.

bwe@Matthew:6:30 @ God dresses the grass in the fields so it looks nice. It is in the field one day and the next day it is put on the fire. If God dresses the grass like that, he cares much more that you have clothes to wear. You do not believe in God very much!

bwe@Matthew:7:5 @ You are not true to yourselves! First take the stick out of your own eye. Then you will be able to see to take the dust out of your brothers eye.

bwe@Matthew:7:11 @ You are wrong, and yet you know how to give good things to your children. Much more, your Father in heaven will give good things to those who ask him.

bwe@Matthew:8:4 @ Jesus said to him, Do not tell anyone about this. But go and let the priest look at you. Moses gave a law about the sacrifice you must give when you are healed. Give it, to prove to people you are healed.

bwe@Matthew:8:28 @ Jesus came to the other side of the sea, to the country of the Gadarene people. There were graves in that place. Two men came from among the graves to meet him. They had bad spirits in them. They were so bad and strong that people feared to pass that way.

bwe@Matthew:8:33 @ The men who cared for the pigs ran to the town. They told everything and what had happened to the men who had the bad spirits.

bwe@Matthew:9:2 @ Some men brought a sick man to him. The man could not move his arms or legs. He was lying on a bed. Jesus saw that they believed he would be healed. So he said to the sick man, My son, be glad! The wrong things you have done are forgiven.

bwe@Matthew:9:5 @ Which is easier, to say, "The wrong things you have done are forgiven," or to say, "Get up and walk"?

bwe@Matthew:9:12 @ Jesus heard it. He said to them, People who are well do not need a doctor. But sick people need him.

bwe@Matthew:9:17 @ People do not put new wine into old wine skins. If they do, the old skins break. The wine is lost and the skins are spoiled. New wine is put into new skins. And so they are both saved.

bwe@Matthew:9:30 @ Then they were able to see. Jesus said to them, Take care, do not tell anyone about this.

bwe@Matthew:9:36 @ He saw the many people and was sorry for them. They were troubled and they could not help themselves. They were like sheep with no one to care for them.

bwe@Matthew:10:6 @ But go to the people of Israel. They are like lost sheep.

bwe@Matthew:10:15 @ I tell you the truth. On the day when people are judged, the people from that city will be punished harder than the people from the country of Sodom and Gomorrah.

bwe@Matthew:10:17 @ But take care. Men will take you to their courts. They will beat you in their meeting houses.

bwe@Matthew:10:18 @ They will bring you to rulers and kings for my sake. Then you will talk about me to them and to those who are not Jews.

bwe@Matthew:10:19 @ When men take you to court, do not be troubled about what you will say. What you are to say will come to your mind at the right time.

bwe@Matthew:10:22 @ Everyone will hate you because you are true to me. But the person who keeps on being true to me until the end, will be saved.

bwe@Matthew:10:29 @ Are not two sparrows worth only a small amount of money? Yet not one of them falls to the ground without your Father knowing about it.

bwe@Matthew:10:31 @ So do not fear. You are worth more than many sparrows.

bwe@Matthew:11:3 @ He asked, Are you the one who will come? Or shall we wait for another person?

bwe@Matthew:11:5 @ Blind people see. Lame people walk. People with leprosy are healed. People who could not hear, can hear. Dead people are made alive. Poor people hear the good news.

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

bwe@Matthew:11:21 @ He said, Chorazin! You will have trouble! Bethsaida! You will have trouble! If the big works I did in you had been done in the cities of Tyre and Sidon, the people there would have stopped their wrong ways long ago. They would wear the clothes people wear to show they are sad. They would sit in ashes.

bwe@Matthew:11:22 @ But I tell you, on the day when people are judged, you will be punished harder than the people from the cities of Tyre and Sidon.

bwe@Matthew:11:24 @ But I tell you, on the day when people are judged you will be punished harder than the people from Sodom.

bwe@Matthew:12:2 @ The Pharisees saw them. They said to Jesus, Look! Your disciples are doing what is not right on the Sabbath day.

bwe@Matthew:12:5 @ Have you never read in the books of the law that the priests in the temple break the Sabbath law on the Sabbath day? They are not punished for it.

bwe@Matthew:12:18 @ He said, This is my servant. I have chosen him. I love him. I am very pleased with him. I will put my Spirit on him. He will judge the people who are not Jews.

bwe@Matthew:12:21 @ Those who are not Jews will believe in him.

bwe@Matthew:12:34 @ You family of snakes! How can you say good things? You are wrong! The mouth will say what is in the heart.

bwe@Matthew:12:36 @ I tell you this. On the day when people are judged, they will pay for every empty word they have said.

bwe@Matthew:12:39 @ But Jesus answered them, The people today are bad. They have gone away from God. They want a sign. No sign will be given them but the sign of the prophet Jonah.

bwe@Matthew:12:41 @ When people are judged, the men of the city of Nineveh will stand up and speak against the people of today. The people of Nineveh stopped their wrong ways when Jonah told them Gods word. And the one who is here is greater than Jonah.

bwe@Matthew:12:42 @ When people are judged, the Queen of the South will stand up and speak against the people of today. She came a long way to hear the wise talk of Solomon. And the one who is here is greater than Solomon.

bwe@Matthew:12:45 @ Then he goes and brings seven other spirits with him. They are worse than he is. They go in and live there. Now the man is worse than he was at first. That is how it will be for the wrong people of today.

bwe@Matthew:12:48 @ But to the man who told him, he said, Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?

bwe@Matthew:12:49 @ He pointed to his disciples and said, These people are my mother and my brothers!

bwe@Matthew:13:23 @ Some seed fell on good ground. That is like a person who hears the message and understands it. Much good comes from it. Some people are like the seed that gave a hundred more seeds. Some people are like the seed that gave sixty. Some people are like the seed that gave thirty.

bwe@Matthew:13:39 @ The bad man who planted the weeds is the devil. The harvest time is the end of this world. The men who cut the harvest are angels.

bwe@Matthew:13:40 @ The weeds are gathered and burned in a fire. That is the way it will be at the end of the world.

bwe@Matthew:13:43 @ Then the people who are right with God will shine like the sun in their Fathers kingdom. Everyone who has ears, listen.

bwe@Matthew:13:55 @ Is he not the carpenters son? Is not Mary his mother? Are not James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas his brothers?

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

bwe@Matthew:14:33 @ Then the men in the boat bowed down in front of Jesus. They said, You really are the Son of God.

bwe@Matthew:14:34 @ They crossed over the sea and came to the land at Gennesaret.

bwe@Matthew:15:7 @ You are not true to yourselves! What Isaiah said about you was true. He said,

bwe@Matthew:15:9 @ They do not mean it in their hearts when they worship me. Their teachings are only the words of men."

bwe@Matthew:15:14 @ Leave them alone. They are blind men who are trying to lead blind men. If a blind man leads a blind man, they will both fall into a hole.

bwe@Matthew:15:21 @ Jesus left that place and went to the country of Tyre and Sidon. 22A woman of the people of Canaan was in that country. She called out, Sir, you are the Son of David. Help me! My daughter is being troubled very much by a bad spirit.

bwe@Matthew:15:23 @ He said, I was sent only to the people of Israel. They are like lost sheep.

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

bwe@Matthew:16:3 @ In the morning you say, "It will be a stormy day, because the sky is red and there are clouds." You know the meaning of these signs in the sky. But you do not know the meaning of the signs about the time in which we are living.

bwe@Matthew:16:4 @ People today are wrong. They have gone away from God. They want a sign. No sign will be given them but the sign of Jonah. Then Jesus went away and left them.

bwe@Matthew:16:8 @ Jesus knew what they were saying. He said to them, You dont believe very much in me. Why are you saying to each other, "We have no bread".

bwe@Matthew:16:11 @ Why do you not understand that I was not talking about bread? Take care. Do not let the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees spoil you.

bwe@Matthew:16:13 @ Jesus went to the country of Caesarea Philippi. He asked his disciples, I am the Son of Man. Whom do people say I am?

bwe@Matthew:16:14 @ They answered, Some people say you are John the Baptizer. Others say you are Elijah. And others say you are Jeremiah or one of the prophets.

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

bwe@Matthew:16:18 @ I tell you this. You are Peter. On this rock I will build my church. The power of death will not destroy it.

bwe@Matthew:16:23 @ But Jesus turned to Peter and said, Get away from me Satan! You are trying to make me do wrong. You are not thinking the way God thinks, but the way people think.

bwe@Matthew:16:28 @ I tell you the truth. Some people are standing here who will not die before they see the Son of Man come in his kingdom.

bwe@Matthew:19:6 @ So they are not two people any more, but they are one person. Man must not separate what God has joined together.

bwe@Matthew:19:8 @ Jesus said to them, Moses wrote that law because your hearts are so hard. That is why he let you send your wives away. But in the beginning it was not that way.

bwe@Matthew:19:10 @ The disciples said to him, If a man and woman are like that, then it is better not to marry.

bwe@Matthew:19:30 @ But many people who are first will be last, and those who are last will be first.

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

bwe@Matthew:20:16 @ In the same way, people who are last will be first, and those who are first will be last.

bwe@Matthew:20:18 @ He said to them, We are going to Jerusalem. The Son of Man will be given over to the chief priests and scribes. They will judge him and say he must die.

bwe@Matthew:20:19 @ They will give him over to rulers who are not Jews. They will make fun of him. They will beat him and nail him to a cross. On the third day, he will be raised.

bwe@Matthew:20:21 @ Jesus asked, What do you want me to do for you? The woman said, These are my two sons. Promise that in your kingdom one may sit at your right and the other at your left.

bwe@Matthew:20:22 @ But Jesus said, You do not know what you are asking for. Can you drink from the cup that I will drink? Yes, they said. We can.

bwe@Matthew:20:30 @ Two blind men were sitting by the road. They heard that Jesus was passing that way. So they shouted, Sir, you are the Son of David. Help us!

bwe@Matthew:20:34 @ Jesus was very sorry for them as he shared in their suffering. He touched their eyes, and right then they were able to see. They went with him.

bwe@Matthew:21:2 @ He said to them, Go into the village in front of you. As soon as you go in, you will find a donkey for riding, and her young one. They are tied there. Untie them and bring them to me.

bwe@Matthew:21:11 @ The people who were with Jesus said, This is Jesus from the town of Nazareth in Galilee. He is a prophet.

bwe@Matthew:21:16 @ They asked Jesus, Do you hear what they are saying? Jesus answered, Yes. Have you never read this? "You like the praise of children and babies."

bwe@Matthew:21:31 @ Which of the two sons did what his father wanted him to do? They said, The first one. Then Jesus said, I tell you the truth. The tax collectors and women who commit adultery by selling their bodies, are going into the kingdom of God ahead of you.

bwe@Matthew:21:46 @ They wanted to catch him, but they feared the people. The people thought Jesus was a prophet.

bwe@Matthew:22:14 @ Many people are asked to come, but only a few are chosen.

bwe@Matthew:22:16 @ They sent their disciples to him with some of Herods people. They said, Teacher, we know that you are true. We know that you teach the true way of God. You do not fear any person, or care how great he is.

bwe@Matthew:22:18 @ Jesus knew they were trying to get him into trouble. So he said to them, Why are you trying to get me to do wrong? You are not true to yourselves!

bwe@Matthew:22:29 @ Jesus answered, You are wrong! You do not know what the holy writings say. And you do not know what power God has.

bwe@Matthew:22:30 @ When people rise from death, men and women do not marry. But they are like angels in heaven.

bwe@Matthew:22:46 @ No one could answer him a word. And after that day, everyone feared to ask him any more questions.

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

bwe@Matthew:23:13 @ You scribes and Pharisees will have trouble. You are not true to yourselves! You shut the door of the kingdom of heaven so people cannot go in. You yourselves do not go in, and you stop those who were going in.

bwe@Matthew:23:14 @ You scribes and Pharisees will have trouble. You who are not true to yourselves! You take away the homes of women whose husbands are dead. You cover up your wrong ways by talking big to God for a long time. Because of that, you will be punished harder.

bwe@Matthew:23:15 @ You scribes and Pharisees will have trouble. You who are not true to yourselves! You travel over sea and land to win one person to believe what you believe. And when he believes, you make him twice as fit for hell as you are.

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

bwe@Matthew:23:25 @ You scribes and Pharisees will have trouble. You who are not true to yourselves! You wash the outside of a cup and a dish clean. But inside they are full of greed and wrong ways!

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

bwe@Matthew:23:28 @ So it is with you. You look right on the outside. But inside you are full of lies and wrong ways.

bwe@Matthew:23:29 @ You scribes and Pharisees will have trouble. You who are not true to yourselves! You build places to bury the prophets and fix up graves of good men.

bwe@Matthew:23:31 @ So you prove that you are the sons of the men who killed the prophets.

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

bwe@Matthew:23:37 @ Jerusalem! Jerusalem! You kill the prophets. You throw stones to kill the men who are sent to you! How often I have wanted to gather your people together, as a mother hen gathers her little ones under her wings. But you would not come!

bwe@Matthew:23:38 @ Now you are left alone in your house.

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

bwe@Matthew:24:4 @ Jesus answered them, Take care. Do not let anyone fool you.

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

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

bwe@Matthew:24:11 @ Many people will come and say they are prophets of God. But they will not be true. They will fool many people.

bwe@Matthew:24:19 @ In those days it will be very hard for women who are to have a child. It will be very hard for mothers who have a baby.

bwe@Matthew:24:24 @ People will come and say they are the Christ. People will come and say they are prophets. But they are not true. They will show big signs and do wonderful things to fool people. They will fool Gods chosen people if they can.

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

bwe@Matthew:24:44 @ So, be ready! The Son of Man will come at a time when you are not looking for him.

bwe@Matthew:24:49 @ Then he will begin to beat the other servants. He will eat and drink with men who are drunk.

bwe@Matthew:24:51 @ The master will punish him and lock him in with people who are not true. People there will cry and grind <FI>make a noise with<Fi> their teeth.

bwe@Matthew:25:21 @ His master said, "You have done well. You are a good servant. I can trust you. You have taken good care of a few things. I will put you in charge of many things. Come, have a good time with your master."

bwe@Matthew:25:23 @ His master said, "You have done well. You are a good servant. I can trust you. You have taken good care of a few things. I will put you in charge of many things. Come, have a good time with your master."

bwe@Matthew:25:26 @ His master answered him, "You are a bad and lazy servant. You knew that I cut grain where I did not plant. You knew that I pick fruit where I put nothing in.

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

bwe@Matthew:25:33 @ The Son of Man will put people who are like the sheep at his right side. He will put people who are like the goats at his left side.

bwe@Matthew:25:34 @ Then the King will say to those who are at his right side, "Come! My Father has blessed you. The kingdom was made ready for you when the world was first made. Come into it now.

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

bwe@Matthew:25:41 @ Then he will say to those at the left side "Go away from me. You are cursed. Go into the fire that burns for ever. That fire has been made ready for the devil and his angels.

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

bwe@Matthew:26:45 @ Then he went back to his disciples and said to them, Are you still sleeping and resting? The time has come now. The Son of Man is given over to bad people.

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

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

bwe@Matthew:26:71 @ Peter went out to the gate. There, another servant-girl saw him. She said to the others around there, This man was also with Jesus of Nazareth.

bwe@Matthew:26:73 @ A little later, those standing around came to Peter and said, Surely you are one of them also. We know it by the way you talk.

bwe@Matthew:27:4 @ He said, I have done wrong. I have helped you take a good man who should not be killed. They said, What do we care? You look after that!

bwe@Matthew:27:11 @ Jesus stood before the ruler. The ruler asked him, Are you the King of the Jews? Jesus said, Yes, I am.

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

bwe@Matthew:28:5 @ The angel talked to the women. He said, Do not fear. I know you are looking for Jesus, who was nailed to a cross.

bwe@Mark:1:9 @ At that time Jesus came from the town of Nazareth in the country of Galilee. John baptised him in the Jordan River.

bwe@Mark:1:11 @ A voice from the sky said, You are my dear Son. I am very pleased with you.

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

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

bwe@Mark:1:44 @ He said, Do not tell anyone about this. But go and let the priest look at you. Moses gave a law about the gift you must give to God when you are healed. Give it to prove to people that you are healed.

bwe@Mark:2:5 @ Jesus saw that they believed he would be healed. So he said to the sick man, Son, the wrong things you have done are forgiven.

bwe@Mark:2:9 @ Which is easier, to say to the sick man, "The wrong things you have done are forgiven," or to say, "Get up. Take up your mat and walk"?

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

bwe@Mark:3:11 @ When the bad spirits saw Jesus, they bowed down before him. They shouted, You are Gods Son!

bwe@Mark:3:32 @ Many people were sitting around him. They said, See, your mother and your brothers are outside. They want you.

bwe@Mark:3:33 @ Jesus asked them, Who are my mother and my brothers?

bwe@Mark:3:34 @ Then he looked at the people who sat around him. He said, These people are my mother and my brothers!

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

bwe@Mark:4:15 @ Those beside the road are like people who hear the message. But as soon as they hear it, Satan comes and takes it out of their hearts

bwe@Mark:4:16 @ The seed that fell on the stony ground is the same. It is like people who hear the message and as soon as they hear it they are very glad.

bwe@Mark:4:20 @ But some seed fell on good ground. That is like people who hear the message and understand it. Much good comes from it. Some people are like the seed that made thirty seeds. Some people are like the seed that gave sixty. Some people are like the seed that gave a hundred.

bwe@Mark:4:24 @ And Jesus said, Take care how you listen. How much you give to others is how much will be given to you. You who obey God will get more than you give.

bwe@Mark:4:38 @ Jesus was in the back end of the boat, sleeping with his head on a pillow. The disciples woke him up. Master, they shouted. We will die! Do you not care?

bwe@Mark:5:1 @ They came to the other side of the sea, to the country of the Gadarene people.

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

bwe@Mark:5:9 @ Jesus asked, What is your name? He answered, My name is An Army, for we are many.

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

bwe@Mark:5:34 @ He said to her, Daughter, you were healed because you believed. Go and do not be troubled. You are healed.

bwe@Mark:6:3 @ Is he not the carpenter? Is not Mary his mother? Are not James, Joseph, Judas, and Simon his brothers? Are not his sisters here with us? The people did not understand Jesus.

bwe@Mark:6:11 @ In some places the people will not take you in. They will not listen to what you say. When you leave such a town, shake the dust off your feet. That will be a warning to them. I tell you the truth. On the day when people are judged, the people in that town will be punished harder than the people in the country of Sodom and Gomorrah.

bwe@Mark:6:34 @ When the boat got there, Jesus saw the many people. He was very sorry for them because they were like sheep with no one to care for them. He began to teach them many things.

bwe@Mark:6:53 @ They crossed over the sea and came to the land at Gennesaret. They came to shore.

bwe@Mark:7:5 @ The Pharisees and the scribes asked Jesus, Why do your disciples not keep the law our fathers made? Why do they eat with hands that are not clean?

bwe@Mark:7:6 @ Jesus said to them, Isaiah spoke the truth about you people! You are not true to yourselves! He wrote about you this way: "These people respect me with their mouths. But their hearts are far from me. They do not mean it in their hearts when they worship me. Their teachings are only words of men."

bwe@Mark:7:8 @ You do not keep the law of God, but you keep the laws made by people. Those laws are about washing pots and cups. You do many other things like that also.

bwe@Mark:8:2 @ I share the suffering of the people. They have been with me for three days and they have nothing to eat.

bwe@Mark:8:15 @ Jesus said, Watch! Take care. Do not let the bread yeast of the Pharisees and Herod spoil you.

bwe@Mark:8:17 @ Jesus knew what they were saying. He asked, Why are you saying, "We have no bread"? Do you not yet understand? Are your minds so slow?

bwe@Mark:8:24 @ The man looked up and said, I see men, but they look like trees that are walking.

bwe@Mark:8:27 @ Jesus went with his disciples to the villages in Caesarea Philippi. On the way he asked his disciples, Who do people say that I am?

bwe@Mark:8:28 @ They answered, People say that you are John the Baptizer. Others say that you are Elijah. And others say that you are one of the prophets from long ago.

bwe@Mark:8:29 @ Then he asked them, But who do you say I am? Peter answered, You are the Christ.

bwe@Mark:8:33 @ Jesus turned around and saw the disciples. Then he talked to Peter. He said, Get away from me, Satan! You are not thinking the way God thinks, but the way people think.

bwe@Mark:8:37 @ What can a person give to get back his soul? People have gone away from God and are full of wrong ways. If anyone in this time is ashamed of me and the things I say, the Son of Man also will be ashamed of that person when he comes. The Son of Man will come with his holy angels, and be great like his Father.

bwe@Mark:9:1 @ Jesus said to them, I tell you the truth. Some people are standing here who will not die before they see the kingdom of God come with power.

bwe@Mark:9:16 @ Jesus asked his disciples, What are you talking about with them?

bwe@Mark:9:22 @ Often it has thrown him in the fire and in the water. It has tried to kill him. If you can do anything for him, show us that you share our suffering by helping us.

bwe@Mark:10:5 @ Jesus said to them, Moses wrote that law because your hearts are so hard.

bwe@Mark:10:8 @ The two of them will be like one person. So they are not two people any more, but they are one person.

bwe@Mark:10:31 @ But many people who are first will be last, and those who are last will be first.

bwe@Mark:10:33 @ He said, We are going to Jerusalem. The Son of Man will be given over to the chief priests and the scribes. They will judge him and say he must die. They will give him over to rulers who are not Jews.

bwe@Mark:10:38 @ But Jesus said, You do not know what you are asking. Can you drink from the cup that I will drink from? Can you go through the big trouble that I will go through?

bwe@Mark:10:47 @ He heard that Jesus of Nazareth was passing. So he shouted, Jesus, Son of David! Help me!

bwe@Mark:11:3 @ If anyone asks you, "Why are you doing this?" tell him, "The Lord needs it. He will send it back soon."

bwe@Mark:11:5 @ People standing there said, What are you doing, untying the animal?

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

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

bwe@Mark:12:12 @ They tried to catch Jesus but they feared the people. They knew that Jesus had spoken this against them. So they left him and went away.

bwe@Mark:12:14 @ They came and said to him, Teacher, we know that you are true. You do not fear any person or care how great he is. But you teach the true way of God. Tell us, is it right to pay taxes to Caesar or is it not?

bwe@Mark:12:15 @ Should we pay taxes or not? Jesus knew they were trying to get him into trouble. So he said to them, Why are you trying to get me to do wrong? Bring me a piece of money. Let me look at it.

bwe@Mark:12:24 @ Jesus said to them, You are wrong! You do not know what the holy writings say. And you do not know what power God has.

bwe@Mark:12:25 @ When people rise from death, men and women do not marry. But they are like angels in heaven.

bwe@Mark:12:32 @ Then the scribe answered Jesus, Teacher, what you say is right. There is one God. There are no other gods.

bwe@Mark:12:34 @ Jesus saw that the scribe was wise. So he said to him, You are not far from the kingdom of God. After that everyone feared to ask him any more questions.

bwe@Mark:12:38 @ Jesus went on to teach them. He said, Take care. Do not let the scribes fool you by the way they do things. They like to walk about with long gowns. They want people to greet them in the market.

bwe@Mark:12:40 @ They take away the homes of women whose husbands are dead. They cover up the wrong things they do by talking to God a long time. They will be punished more!

bwe@Mark:13:4 @ They said, Tell us, when will this happen? What will be the sign when these things are going to be done?

bwe@Mark:13:5 @ Then Jesus began to talk to them. He said, Take care. Do not let anyone fool you.

bwe@Mark:13:8 @ One tribe will fight against another tribe. And one country will fight against another country. The earth will shake in many different places. People will have no food to eat. These troubles are only the beginning of the troubles that will come.

bwe@Mark:13:9 @ But you must take care. Men will take you to court. They will beat you in their meeting houses. They will take you to rulers and kings because you are true to me. You will talk to them about me.

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

bwe@Mark:13:16 @ Those who are working in the fields must not go back to get their coats.

bwe@Mark:13:17 @ In those days it will be very hard for women who are to have a child. It will be very hard for mothers who have babies.

bwe@Mark:13:22 @ People will come and say they are the Christ. People will come and say they are prophets of God. But they are not true to themselves. They will show big signs and do wonderful things that will fool people. They will fool Gods chosen people if they can.

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

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

bwe@Mark:14:37 @ Jesus went back and found the disciples sleeping. He said to Peter, Simon, are you sleeping? Could you not watch one hour?

bwe@Mark:14:41 @ Then he went back the third time. He said, Are you still sleeping and resting?. It is enough. The time has come now. The Son of Man is given over to bad people.

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

bwe@Mark:14:67 @ She saw Peter warming himself by the fire. She looked at him and said, You were also with Jesus of Nazareth.

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

bwe@Mark:14:70 @ But again Peter said he was not. A little while after, those standing around said to Peter, Surely you are one of them also. You come from Galilee.

bwe@Mark:14:71 @ Then Peter began to curse and say bad words. He said, I do not know this man you are talking about!

bwe@Mark:15:2 @ Pilate asked him, Are you the King of the Jews? Jesus answered, Yes, I am.

bwe@Mark:15:4 @ Then Pilate asked him, Have you nothing to say? These people are bringing many complaints against you!

bwe@Mark:15:29 @ The people who passed by said wrong things about him. They shook their heads and said, Ha, ha! You are the man who said you could break down the temple and build it again in three days.

bwe@Mark:16:6 @ He said, Do not be surprised. You are looking for Jesus of Nazareth who was nailed to a cross. He is risen. He is not here. Look, here is where they laid him.

bwe@Luke:1:4 @ Then you will know that the things people have told you are true.

bwe@Luke:1:26 @ Elizabeth was now in her sixth month. God sent the angel Gabriel to the town of Nazareth in Galilee.

bwe@Luke:1:79 @ That light will shine on those who are in darkness, and are going to die. That light will show us how to walk in peace.

bwe@Luke:2:4 @ Joseph also went from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to the town of Bethlehem in Judea. This was Davids town, and Joseph came from Davids family line.

bwe@Luke:2:8 @ In the same part of the country, men were taking care of sheep. They were in the field watching their sheep at night.

bwe@Luke:2:15 @ The angels left them and went back to heaven. The men who were taking care of the sheep said to one another Let us go to Bethlehem and see what has happened. It is the Lord who has told us about it.

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

bwe@Luke:2:27 @ He came into the temple, led by the Spirit. The parents brought in the child Jesus to do what the law said they should do about him.

bwe@Luke:2:29 @ He said, Lord, now you are letting your servant go in peace, just as you said.

bwe@Luke:2:39 @ The parents did everything that the law of the Lord said they should do. Then they went back to Galilee to their own town, Nazareth.

bwe@Luke:2:41 @ Every year his parents went to Jerusalem for the Passover Feast <FI>a special time to thank God<Fi>.

bwe@Luke:2:43 @ After the days of the feast were finished, they started home. But the boy Jesus stayed in Jerusalem. His parents did not know it.

bwe@Luke:2:48 @ His parents were surprised when they saw him. His mother said to him, Son, why have you done this to us? Your father and I have been looking for you. We have been very troubled.

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

bwe@Luke:3:8 @ Do good things that will show you have stopped your wrong ways! Do not begin to say to yourselves, "We are Abrahams children. "I tell you, God can make children for Abraham from these stones.

bwe@Luke:3:13 @ He said to them, Do not make people pay more money than you are told to.

bwe@Luke:3:22 @ The Holy Spirit came down upon him like a dove. And a voice from the sky said, You are my dear Son. I am very pleased with you.

bwe@Luke:3:23 @ Jesus was about thirty years old when he began his work. The people thought he was Josephs son. Here are the names of Jesus family line: Joseph, Heli, Matthat, Levi, Melchi, Janna, Joseph, Mattathiah, Amos, Nahum, Esli, Naggai, Maath, Mattathiah, Semei, Joseph, Judah, Joannas, Rhesa, Zerubbabel, Shealtiel, Neri, Melchi, Addi, Cosam, Elmodam, Er, Jose, Eliezer, Jorim, Matthat, Levi, Simeon, Judah, Joseph, Jonan, Eliakim, Melea, Menen, Mattathah, Nathan, David, Jesse, Obed, Boaz, Salmon, Nahshon, Amminadab, Ram, Hezron, Perez, Judah, Jacob, Isaac, Abraham, Terah, Nahor, Serug, Reu, Peleg, Eber, Shelah, Cainan, Arphaxad, Shem, Noah, Lamech, Methuselah, Enoch, Jared, Mahalalel, Cainan, Enosh, Seth, Adam. Adam came from God.

bwe@Luke:4:3 @ The devil said to him, If you are Gods Son, tell this stone to be changed into bread.

bwe@Luke:4:8 @ Jesus answered him, The holy writings say, "You must worship the Lord your God and he is the only one you are to worship."

bwe@Luke:4:9 @ The devil took Jesus to Jerusalem. He put him on a high part of the temple. He said to him, If you are Gods Son, jump down.

bwe@Luke:4:10 @ The holy writings say, "God will tell his angels to take care of you."

bwe@Luke:4:16 @ He went to Nazareth where he had grown up. He went to the meeting house as he always did on the Sabbath day. He stood up to read.

bwe@Luke:4:26 @ But Elijah was not sent to any of these widowed women in Israel. He was sent to a widow at Zarephath in Sidon.

bwe@Luke:4:34 @ He said, Jesus from Nazareth! What do you want to do to us? Have you come to kill us? I know who you are. You are Gods Holy Man.

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

bwe@Luke:4:44 @ So he told Gods word in the meeting houses in the Galilee area.

bwe@Luke:5:1 @ The people came close around Jesus to hear Gods word. He was standing by Lake Gennesaret <FI>the Sea of Galilee<Fi>.

bwe@Luke:5:14 @ Jesus said to him, Do not tell anyone about this. But go and let the priest look at you. Moses gave a law about the sacrifice you must give when you are healed. Give it to prove to the people that you are healed.

bwe@Luke:5:20 @ Jesus saw that they believed he would be healed. So he said to him, Man, the wrong things you have done are forgiven.

bwe@Luke:5:23 @ Which is easier, to say, "The wrong things you have done are forgiven," or to say, "Get up and walk"?

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

bwe@Luke:5:31 @ Jesus answered them, People who are well do not need a doctor. But sick people need him.

bwe@Luke:5:33 @ They said to him, The disciples or followers of John are often fasting <FI>not eating for a time<Fi>, and they talk with God. The disciples of the Pharisees do the same. But your disciples eat and drink.

bwe@Luke:6:20 @ Jesus looked at his disciples and said, God will make happy you who are poor. The kingdom of God is for you.

bwe@Luke:6:21 @ God will make happy you who are hungry now. You will be filled. God will make happy you who cry now. You will laugh.

bwe@Luke:6:24 @ But you who are rich will have trouble. You have already had your good times.

bwe@Luke:6:35 @ Love your enemies. Do good things. Lend to people and do not look to get anything back. You will be paid well. You will be sons of the Highest One. He is kind to those who do not thank him and to those who are bad.

bwe@Luke:6:42 @ How can you say to your brother, "Brother, let me take the dust out of your eye"? But you do not see the stick in your own eye. You are not true to yourselves! First take the stick out of your own eye. Then you will be able to see to take the dust out of your brothers eye.

bwe@Luke:7:13 @ The Lord saw her. He shared in her sorrows and troubles. He said to her, Do not cry.

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

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

bwe@Luke:7:22 @ He answered Johns disciples, Go tell John what you have seen and heard. Blind people see. The lame people walk. People with leprosy are healed. People who could not hear can hear. Dead people are alive again. Poor people hear the good news.

bwe@Luke:7:31 @ Jesus asked, What will I say that the people of today are like? What are they like?

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

bwe@Luke:7:43 @ Simon answered, I would say the one he let off the most. Jesus said, You are right.

bwe@Luke:7:48 @ Jesus said to the woman, The wrong things you have done are forgiven.

bwe@Luke:7:50 @ Jesus said to the woman, You are saved because you believed. Go in peace.

bwe@Luke:8:12 @ Some seeds fell on the road. They are like the people who hear the word of God. Then the devil comes and takes the word out of their hearts. He does not want them to believe and be saved.

bwe@Luke:8:13 @ Some seeds fell on the stones. They are like people who are glad when they hear the word. But it does not go down deep into their hearts. They believe for a short time. But when they have trouble they stop believing.

bwe@Luke:8:14 @ Some seeds fell among the weeds. They are like people who hear the word. But they think about the things of this world. They want to get money and things to be happy in this life. As they go on in life, these things push the message out of their hearts and no good comes from them.

bwe@Luke:8:15 @ Some seeds fell on good ground. They are like people who hear the word and remember it. Their hearts are honest and good. These people keep on believing, and much good comes from them.

bwe@Luke:8:18 @ So take care how you listen. Anyone who has something will get more. But he who does not have anything, even the little that he has will be taken away from him.

bwe@Luke:8:20 @ Someone told him, Your mother and brothers are standing outside. They want to talk to you.

bwe@Luke:8:21 @ But he said to them, These people who hear the word of God and do it, they are my mother and my brothers.

bwe@Luke:8:26 @ They came to the other side of the sea, to the country of the Gadarene people. Their country is on the other side of the sea from Galilee.

bwe@Luke:8:34 @ The men who cared for the pigs saw what happened. They ran and told it to the people in the town and in the country.

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

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

bwe@Luke:8:56 @ Her parents were very much surprised. Jesus said, Do not tell anyone what has happened.

bwe@Luke:9:19 @ They answered, Some people say you are John the Baptizer. Others say you are Elijah. And others say that one of the old prophets of God has risen from death.

bwe@Luke:9:20 @ Jesus said, But who do you say I am? Peter answered, You are the Christ sent by God.

bwe@Luke:9:27 @ I tell you the truth. Some people are standing here who will not die before they see the kingdom of God.

bwe@Luke:9:55 @ But he turned and said to them, Stop that! You do not think about what kind of spirit you are showing.

bwe@Luke:9:60 @ Jesus said to him, Let those who are dead bury their own dead people. As for you, go and tell people about Gods kingdom.

bwe@Luke:10:2 @ He said to them, The harvest is much, but there are not many people to gather it. So talk to the Lord of this harvest and ask him to send out people to his harvest.

bwe@Luke:10:12 @ I tell you this. On the day when people are judged, they will be punished more than the people in the city of Sodom.

bwe@Luke:10:13 @ Chorazin, you will have trouble! Bethsaida, you will have trouble! If the big works I did in you had been done in the cities of Tyre and Sidon, the people there would have stopped doing bad things long ago. They would wear the clothes people wear to show they are sad, and would sit in ashes.

bwe@Luke:10:14 @ But on the day when people are judged you will be punished more than the people in the cities of Tyre and Sidon.

bwe@Luke:10:20 @ Do not be glad that the bad spirits obey you. But be glad that your names are written in the book in heaven.

bwe@Luke:10:21 @ At that same time the Holy Spirit made Jesus very happy. Jesus said, Father, you are Lord of heaven and earth. I thank you because you have hidden these things from people who are wise and know many things. But you have shown them to people who are like children. Yes, Father. That was the way you wanted it.

bwe@Luke:10:33 @ A man from the country of Samaria was going on that road also, and came to the place. He saw the man and wanted to share in his troubles.

bwe@Luke:10:34 @ He went to him and tied up the sores he had from the beating. He washed them with oil and wine. Then he lifted the man up and set him on his own animal to ride. He took him to the house for strangers. And he cared for him.

bwe@Luke:10:35 @ The next day he gave two pieces of money to the man who was in charge of the house for strangers. He said, "Take care of this man. If it costs you more than this, I will pay you when I come back.

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

bwe@Luke:10:41 @ The Lord answered her, Martha, Martha, you are worrying. You are troubled about many things.

bwe@Luke:11:7 @ Maybe the friend in the house answers you and says, "Do not trouble me. The door is locked. And my children and I are in bed. I cannot get up and give you anything."

bwe@Luke:11:13 @ You are wrong and yet you know how to give good things to your children. Much more, the Father in heaven will give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him.

bwe@Luke:11:26 @ Then he goes and brings seven other spirits who are worse than he is. They go in and live there. Now the man is worse than he was at first.

bwe@Luke:11:28 @ But Jesus said, Happy are those who hear Gods word and obey it!

bwe@Luke:11:29 @ More and more people were coming. He started to talk. He said, People today are bad. They want a sign. No sign will be given them but the sign of Jonah the prophet of God.

bwe@Luke:11:31 @ When the people are judged, the Queen from the South will stand up and speak against men who live today. She came a long way to hear the wise words of Solomon. The one who is here is greater than Solomon.

bwe@Luke:11:32 @ When people are judged, the men of Nineveh will stand up and speak against the people of today. They stopped their wrong ways when Jonah told them Gods word. And the one who is here is greater than Jonah.

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

bwe@Luke:11:39 @ The Lord said to him, You Pharisees wash the outside of a cup and a dish clean. But inside you are full of greed and wrong ways.

bwe@Luke:11:40 @ You are fools! Did not God make the outside and inside also?

bwe@Luke:11:44 @ You will have trouble! You are not true to yourselves! You are like graves that are not marked. Men walk over them and do not know it.

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

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

bwe@Luke:12:1 @ Many thousands of people had gathered. They stepped on each other. Jesus began to talk to the disciples. He said, Take care. Do not let the yeast of the Pharisees spoil you. They are not true to themselves.

bwe@Luke:12:4 @ You are my friends. I tell you, do not fear people who can kill your bodies. After that they cannot do anything more to you.

bwe@Luke:12:6 @ Are not five sparrows sold for a tiny sum of money? Yet God does not forget about one of them.

bwe@Luke:12:7 @ Even the number of hairs on your head is known. So do not fear. You are worth more than many sparrows.

bwe@Luke:12:15 @ Then he said to the people, Take care. Do not be greedy in any way to get more and more things. Even if a man has much more than he needs, it cannot give him life.

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

bwe@Luke:12:24 @ Think of the birds. They do not plant, cut, or keep any food. Yet God feeds them. You are worth much more than the birds!

bwe@Luke:12:28 @ God dresses the grass in the fields so it looks nice. It is in the field one day and the next day it is burned. If God dresses the grass like that, he cares much more that you have clothes to wear. You do not believe in God very much!

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

bwe@Luke:12:36 @ Be like men who are waiting for their master to come home from a wedding. They are ready to open the door as soon as he comes and knocks.

bwe@Luke:12:37 @ Happy the servants who are ready when the master comes! The servants who are ready when the master comes will be made happy. I tell you the truth. The master will get ready to serve them. He will set them at the table and will come and serve them.

bwe@Luke:12:38 @ He may come in the middle of the night or when it is nearly morning. But if they are watching for the master, they will be happy.

bwe@Luke:12:40 @ So then, be ready. The Son of Man will come at a time when you are not looking for him.

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

bwe@Luke:12:52 @ From now, if there are five in a family, they will be against each other. Three of them will be against the other two. And two of them will be against the other three.

bwe@Luke:12:56 @ You are not true to yourselves! You know the meaning of these signs in the earth and sky. But you do not know the meaning of the signs about the time in which we are living.

bwe@Luke:13:7 @ He said to the man who cared for the trees, "For three years I have come to look for fruit on this tree, but I have not found any. Cut it down. Why should it spoil my farmland?"

bwe@Luke:13:8 @ The man who cared for the trees answered, "Sir, let it stay one more year. I will dig around it and put good soil around it.

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

bwe@Luke:13:14 @ The ruler of the meeting house was angry because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath day. He said to the people, There are six days to work. You should come to be healed on those days, and not on the Sabbath day.

bwe@Luke:13:15 @ The Lord said to him, You are not true to yourselves! Every one of you unties his cow or horse and takes it to the water to drink on the Sabbath day. Do you not?

bwe@Luke:13:30 @ Yes, some people who are last will be first, and some who are first will be last.

bwe@Luke:13:34 @ O Jerusalem, Jerusalem! You kill the prophets of God. You throw stones to kill men who are sent to you. How often I have wanted to gather your people together as a mother hen gathers her little ones under her wings. But you would not come!

bwe@Luke:13:35 @ Now you are left alone in your house. I tell you this. You will not see me again until the time when you say, "God bless him who comes in the name of the Lord."

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

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

bwe@Luke:14:13 @ But when you make a dinner, ask the people who are poor, hurt, lame, or blind.

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

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

bwe@Luke:15:20 @ So he got up and went to his father. While he was still far away, his father saw him. He loved him and wanted to share in his troubles. He ran and put his arms around him and kissed him.

bwe@Luke:16:8 @ Then the master praised the manager who did wrong. He praised him because he did what was wise. The people of this world are wiser than the people who have the Light. They know how to get along with people like themselves.

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

bwe@Luke:16:25 @ But Abraham said to him, "Son, remember this. You had a good time when you were living. Lazarus had a bad time when he was living. But now he is happy here and you are in pain.

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

bwe@Luke:17:3 @ Take care! If your brother does something bad, tell him what he has done. If he is sorry, then forgive him.

bwe@Luke:17:7 @ If your servant is working in the field or taking care of sheep, what will you say to him when he comes in from the field? Will you say, "Come now and sit down to eat"?

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

bwe@Luke:17:17 @ Then Jesus asked, Were not ten people healed? Where are the other nine?

bwe@Luke:17:25 @ But first he will have much trouble. The people who are living now will not believe in him.

bwe@Luke:18:2 @ He said, There was a judge in a city. He did not respect God or care about people.

bwe@Luke:18:4 @ For a long time he would not do it. But after a time he said, "I do not respect God or care about people.

bwe@Luke:18:31 @ Jesus took the twelve disciples with him. He said to them, We are going to Jerusalem. The prophets of God long ago wrote about the Son of Man. Everything they wrote will be done to him.

bwe@Luke:18:32 @ He will be given over to rulers who are not Jews. They will make fun of him. They will treat him very badly. They will spit on him.

bwe@Luke:18:36 @ He heard many people passing by. He asked, Why are so many people passing here?

bwe@Luke:18:37 @ They told him, Jesus of Nazareth is passing this way.

bwe@Luke:18:42 @ Jesus said, You can see now. You are healed because you believed.

bwe@Luke:19:10 @ The Son of Man came to look for and to save those who are lost.

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

bwe@Luke:19:21 @ I was afraid of you. You are a hard man. You take in where you put nothing out. You gather where you did not plant."

bwe@Luke:19:27 @ But where are those people who hate me and did not want me to rule over them? Bring them here and kill them right here in front of me."

bwe@Luke:19:31 @ If anyone asks you, "Why are you untying it?" tell him, "The Lord needs it."

bwe@Luke:19:33 @ When they were untying the animal, the men who owned it asked them, Why are you untying the animal?

bwe@Luke:19:42 @ He said, I wish you knew today what things would give you peace! But now you do not see what they are.

bwe@Luke:20:19 @ The scribes and the chief priests wanted to catch Jesus right then but they feared the people. They understood that he had told this story against them.

bwe@Luke:20:24 @ So he said, Show me a piece of money. Whose picture and name are on it? They said, Caesars

bwe@Luke:20:35 @ But men and women who are good enough to have a place in the next world and to be raised from death do not marry.

bwe@Luke:20:36 @ They cannot die again. They are like angels. They are Gods children because they have been raised from death.

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

bwe@Luke:20:46 @ He said, Take care. Do not let the scribes fool you. They like to walk about dressed in long gowns. They want people to greet them in the market. They want to have the front seats in the meeting houses. They want to sit in the best places at feasts.

bwe@Luke:20:47 @ They take away the homes of women whose husbands are dead. They cover up their wrong ways by talking to God a long time. They will be punished more!

bwe@Luke:21:7 @ They asked him, Teacher, when will this happen? What will be the sign when these things are going to be done?

bwe@Luke:21:8 @ He said, Take care. Do not let anyone fool you. Many men will come in my name. They will say, "I am Christ." And they will say, "The time is now." Do not go after them.

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

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

bwe@Luke:21:16 @ Even your parents, brothers, family people, and friends will give you over to trouble. They will kill some of you.

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

bwe@Luke:21:21 @ Then the people in Judea must go quickly to the hills. Those who are in the city must leave it. Those who are in the country must not come into the city.

bwe@Luke:21:23 @ In those days it will be very hard for women who are to have a child. It will be very hard for mothers who have babies. There will be big trouble on the earth. God will show his anger to these people.

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

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

bwe@Luke:21:34 @ But take care. Do not think too much about eating, drinking, and things in this life. If you do, that day will come and catch you like a trap.

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

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

bwe@Luke:22:2 @ The chief priests and the scribes planned how to kill Jesus. But they feared the people.

bwe@Luke:22:37 @ The holy writings say, "He was counted as one of the bad people." And I tell you, that means me. And the things that are written about me must happen to me.

bwe@Luke:22:38 @ The disciples said, Look, Lord, here are two swords. And he answered, That is enough.

bwe@Luke:22:46 @ He said to them, Why are you sleeping? Get up. Talk with God so that you will not do wrong.

bwe@Luke:22:58 @ After a while, another person saw him and said, You are one of them also. But Peter said, Man, I am not.

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

bwe@Luke:22:67 @ They said, If you are the Christ, tell us. Jesus said, If I tell you, you will not believe.

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

bwe@Luke:23:3 @ Then Pilate asked Jesus, Are you the King of the Jews?" Jesus answered, Yes, I am.

bwe@Luke:23:29 @ The time will come when people will say, "Happy are the women who have no children or who have never had a child."

bwe@Luke:23:34 @ Jesus said, Father, forgive them! They do not know what they are doing. The soldiers played a game to see how they should divide his clothes.

bwe@Luke:23:37 @ They said, If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!

bwe@Luke:23:39 @ One of the bad men who was hanging there said wrong things against Jesus. He said If you are the Christ, why do you not save yourself and us?

bwe@Luke:23:40 @ But the other bad man told him to stop. He said, Do you not even fear God? You are being punished just as he is.

bwe@Luke:24:16 @ Jesus asked them, What is this that you are talking about as you walk along looking so sad?

bwe@Luke:24:17 @ One of them named Cleophas answered him. He said, Are you a stranger in Jerusalem and do not know what has happened there these last days?

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

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

bwe@Luke:24:37 @ He said to them, Why are you troubled? Why do you wonder about these things in your hearts?

bwe@Luke:24:45 @ You are the men who have seen these things, and will tell people about them.

bwe@John:1:19 @ The leaders of the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem. They asked John, Who are you? John told them.

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

bwe@John:1:22 @ Then those priests said, Who are you? We want to give an answer to the people who sent us. What do you say about yourself?

bwe@John:1:25 @ So they asked him, If you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet, why then are you baptizing?

bwe@John:1:38 @ Jesus turned. He saw them coming after him. He said to them, What are you looking for? They said, Teacher, where do you live?

bwe@John:1:42 @ Andrew brought Simon to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, You are Simon, the son of John. Your name will be Cephas. (Cephas means Peter, a rock or stone.)

bwe@John:1:45 @ Philip went to find Nathanael. He said We have found the man about whom Moses wrote in the books of the law. The prophets also wrote about him. He is Jesus, from Nazareth. He is the son of Joseph.

bwe@John:1:46 @ Nathanael said, From Nazareth? Can any good thing come from there? Philip said, Come and see for yourself.

bwe@John:1:49 @ Nathanael said, Teacher, you are the Son of God. You are the King of Israel.

bwe@John:2:4 @ Jesus said, Woman, why are you telling me about it? It is not yet the time for me to do something.

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

bwe@John:3:2 @ One night Nicodemus came to Jesus. He said, Master, we know you are a teacher sent by God. We know this because no person could do the big works you are doing if God did not help him.

bwe@John:3:10 @ Jesus answered, Are you a teacher of the people of Israel and you do not know this?

bwe@John:3:11 @ I tell you the truth. We know what we are talking about. We talk about the things we have seen. But you will not believe what we tell you.

bwe@John:3:19 @ Light came into the world. But people wanted to be in the dark because they did wrong things. They did not want the light. That is why they are judged.

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

bwe@John:4:8 @ The woman said to Jesus, Why do you ask me for a drink of water? You are a Jew and I am from Samaria. (The Jews are not friends with the people of Samaria.)

bwe@John:4:11 @ Are you greater than our father Jacob who gave us this well? He drank water from this well, also his children and cattle.

bwe@John:4:17 @ You have had five husbands, but the man you are living with now is not your husband. You have told the truth.

bwe@John:4:18 @ The woman said, Sir, this shows me you are a prophet of God.

bwe@John:4:26 @ When Jesus had said this, his disciples came back. They were surprised to hear him talking to a woman. But not one of them asked, What do you want? or, Why are you talking to her?

bwe@John:5:14 @ After that, Jesus saw the man in the temple. He said to him, See, you are healed. Do no more wrong things. If you do, something worse may happen to you.

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

bwe@John:5:39 @ You read holy writings carefully. You think that there you will find out how to live for ever. In the same writings you will read about me.

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

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

bwe@John:6:30 @ They said, What big work will you do? We want to see it and believe you. What work are you are going to do?

bwe@John:6:63 @ It is the Spirit that gives life. The flesh does not help. The words I say to you are Spirit and life.

bwe@John:6:69 @ We believe now, and we know it is true. You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.

bwe@John:7:3 @ Jesus brothers said to him, Go away from here to Judea. Let your disciples also see the work you are doing.

bwe@John:7:4 @ When a person wants people to know about him, he does not hide what he is doing. If you are doing these big things, let the world see you.

bwe@John:7:19 @ Did not Moses give you the law? Not one of you is keeping the law. Why are you trying to kill me?

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

bwe@John:7:23 @ You do it on the Sabbath day so that you will not break the law of Moses. If you do that, then why are you angry with me because I healed a man on the Sabbath day?

bwe@John:7:25 @ Some people from Jerusalem said, Is not this the person they are trying to kill?

bwe@John:7:35 @ The Jews said to one another, Where will he go that we cannot find him? Will he go to our people who are living in other countries? Will he teach them?

bwe@John:7:52 @ They answered him, Are you from Galilee also? Study what is written. You will see that no prophet is to come from Galilee.

bwe@John:8:10 @ Jesus looked up and said to her, Woman, where are the people? Has no one judged you?

bwe@John:8:13 @ The Pharisees said, You are talking about yourself. What you say is not true.

bwe@John:8:23 @ Jesus said to them, You are from below. I am from above. You belong to this world. I do not belong to this world.

bwe@John:8:25 @ They said to him, Who are you? Jesus answered, I am what I told you from the beginning.

bwe@John:8:31 @ Jesus said to the Jews who believed in him, If you obey my word, you are truly my disciples.

bwe@John:8:33 @ They said to him, We are Abrahams children. We have always been free. Why do you say to us, "You will be free"?

bwe@John:8:34 @ Jesus answered them, I tell you the truth. People who do wrong things are not free. They become a slave of the wrong things they do.

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

bwe@John:8:53 @ Are you greater than our father Abraham and the prophets of God who died long ago? Who do you make yourself out to be?

bwe@John:8:55 @ But you do not know God. I know him. If I say, "I do not know him," I am a liar, just as you people are. But I know him and I obey his word.

bwe@John:8:57 @ The Jewish leaders said to him, You are not fifty years old yet. How could Abraham see you?

bwe@John:9:2 @ His disciples asked Jesus, Master, was this man born blind because of the wrong things he did, or was it the wrong things his parents did?

bwe@John:9:3 @ Jesus answered, It was not that he or his parents did any wrong thing. But it was so that people would see what God will do in him.

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

bwe@John:9:20 @ The parents answered, We know that this is our son. And we know that he was born blind.

bwe@John:9:22 @ The parents said this because they were afraid of the Jewish leaders. They knew that the leaders of the Jews had already agreed that if anyone said Jesus is the Christ, they would be put out of the meeting place.

bwe@John:9:23 @ That is why the parents said, He is old enough to talk for himself. Ask him.

bwe@John:9:28 @ This made them angry. They said, You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.

bwe@John:9:34 @ They answered, You have been a bad man ever since you were born! Now are you trying to teach us? And with that they put him out of the meeting place.

bwe@John:9:39 @ Jesus said, I came into the world so that people may be judged. I came so that those who are blind may see. And I came so that those who see may become blind.

bwe@John:9:40 @ Some of the Pharisees were with Jesus and heard him say this. They asked him, You mean to say that we are blind also?

bwe@John:9:41 @ Jesus answered them, If you agreed that you were blind, you would not be bad people. But you say, "We can see." So then you are still bad people.

bwe@John:10:2 @ But the man who comes in through the door, he is the one who takes care of the sheep.

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

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

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

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

bwe@John:10:13 @ He does that because he is only working for pay and does not care what happens to the sheep.

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

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

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

bwe@John:10:26 @ And yet you do not believe because you are not my sheep. I told you this before.

bwe@John:10:30 @ My Father and I are one.

bwe@John:10:32 @ So Jesus said to them, I have done many good things that come from my Father. For which one of those are you going to kill me?

bwe@John:10:33 @ Then the Jewish leaders answered him, We do not kill you for doing any good thing. But you do not respect God. You are only a man, and yet you say you are God.

bwe@John:10:34 @ Jesus answered them, In your own books it is written that God said, "You are gods."

bwe@John:11:8 @ They said, Master, it is not long since the Jews wanted to kill you with stones. Are you going back there again?

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

bwe@John:11:24 @ Martha said, I know that he will rise when the dead people are raised up on the last day.

bwe@John:11:27 @ She said, Yes, Lord, I believe that you are the Christ. I believe that you are the Son of God who was to come into the world.

bwe@John:11:42 @ I know that you always hear me. But I have said this so that the people who are standing here might believe that you have sent me.

bwe@John:11:47 @ So the chief priests and the Pharisees met together. They said, What are we going to do? This man is doing many big works.

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

bwe@John:12:6 @ Judas did not say this because he cared for poor people. But he used to steal. He carried the disciples money bag and he used to take money out of the bag for himself.

bwe@John:12:19 @ The Pharisees said to each other, See, you cannot stop this thing. People everywhere are going after him.

bwe@John:13:6 @ He came to Simon Peter. Peter said to him, Lord, are you going to wash my feet?

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

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

bwe@John:13:27 @ Right after Jesus had given the bread, Satan came into Judas. Then Jesus said to him, What you are going to do, do right away.

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

bwe@John:13:36 @ Simon Peter said to him, Lord, where are you going? Jesus answered him, You cannot go with me where I am going now. Later on you will go with me.

bwe@John:14:2 @ In my Fathers house are many rooms. If it were not so, I would have told you. I am going to make a place ready for you.

bwe@John:14:5 @ Thomas said to Jesus, Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?

bwe@John:14:20 @ At that time you will know that I am in my Father. You are in me, and I am in you.

bwe@John:14:22 @ Judas (not Iscariot) said to Jesus, Lord, how are you going to make yourself real to us, and not to the rest of the world?

bwe@John:15:1 @ I am the real fruit tree. My Father is the One who takes care of the tree.

bwe@John:15:4 @ But you must be in me and I will be in you. The branch cannot bear fruit by itself. It must be joined to the tree. And you cannot do any good thing if you are not joined to me.

bwe@John:15:5 @ I am the fruit tree and you are the branches. I will be in the person who is in me. That person will have a fruitful life. But you can do nothing without me.

bwe@John:15:7 @ If you are in me and obey me, you may ask me for anything you want and I will give it to you.

bwe@John:15:14 @ You are my friends if you do what I tell you to do.

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

bwe@John:16:5 @ But now I am going back to him who sent me here. Yet not one of you is asking me, "Where are you going?"

bwe@John:16:6 @ Your hearts are very sad because I have told you these things.

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

bwe@John:16:19 @ Jesus knew that they wanted to ask him this question. So he said to them, Are you asking each other what I mean by saying, "Very soon you will not see me. Then in a little while after that you will see me"?

bwe@John:16:22 @ So you also are very sad now. But I will see you again. Then you will be very glad. And no one can take your joy from you.

bwe@John:16:29 @ The disciples said to him, Yes, now you are telling us plainly. You are not telling us with words we do not understand.

bwe@John:17:3 @ You are the only true God. If they know you, and Jesus Christ whom you sent, they will live for ever.

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

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

bwe@John:17:11 @ I am not in the world any longer. But they are in the world. And I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name, which you have given me. Then they will be one, just as you and I are one.

bwe@John:17:12 @ While I was with them, I took care of them in your name, which you gave me. I have taken care of them. Only one of them is lost. That is the one who was born to be lost. What your book says came true.

bwe@John:17:15 @ I do not ask you to take them out of the world. But I ask you to take care of them, so that the evil one of this world will not harm them.

bwe@John:17:22 @ I have made them great the way you have made me great. That makes us one, as we are one.

bwe@John:17:25 @ Father, you are the one who is right. The world has not known you. But I have known you. These people know that you have sent me.

bwe@John:17:26 @ I have told them who you are. I will tell them again and again. Then they will love each other as much as you have loved me. And I will live in them.

bwe@John:18:4 @ Jesus knew everything that was going to happen to him. So he went out and said to them, Who are you looking for?

bwe@John:18:5 @ They answered, Jesus from Nazareth. Jesus said to them, I am he. Judas, who had given Jesus over to them, was standing with them.

bwe@John:18:7 @ So Jesus asked them again, Who are you looking for? And they said, Jesus from Nazareth.

bwe@John:18:8 @ Then Jesus answered, I have already told you that I am he. If you are looking for me, let these men go.

bwe@John:18:17 @ The servant at the door said to Peter, Are you one of this mans disciples too? Peter said, No, I am not!

bwe@John:18:25 @ Simon Peter stayed by the fire and stood warming himself. So the people said to him, Are you not one of his disciples also? He said, No, I am not!

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

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

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

bwe@John:19:12 @ After that Pilate tried to let Jesus go free. But the Jews shouted, If you let this man free, you are not Caesars friend! Anyone who makes himself a king is fighting against Caesar!

bwe@John:19:19 @ Pilate wrote a sign and put it on the cross. He wrote, Jesus from Nazareth, the King of the Jews.

bwe@John:20:13 @ They said to her, Woman, why are you crying? She said to them, They have taken away my Lord and I do not know where they have laid him.

bwe@John:20:15 @ Jesus said to her, Woman, why are you crying? Who are you looking for? She thought he was the man who took care of the garden. So she said to him, Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him. I will take him away.

bwe@John:20:30 @ Jesus did many other big works when he was with the disciples. They are not written in this book.

bwe@John:20:31 @ But these things are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God. And when you believe in his name, then he will give you power to live.

bwe@John:21:3 @ Simon Peter said to the others, I am going fishing. The others said, We are going with you also. They went out in a boat right away. That night they caught nothing.

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

bwe@John:21:16 @ He asked him the second time, Simon, son of John, do you love me? Peter said, Yes, Lord. You know that I like you. I am your friend. Jesus said to him, Take care of my sheep.

bwe@John:21:18 @ I tell you the truth. When you were young, you put on your own belt. You went where you wanted to go. But when you are old, you will put out your hands. Others will put your belt on for you. They will take you where you do not want to go.

bwe@Acts:1:6 @ When they had come together, the apostles asked Jesus, Lord, are you now going to set up the kingdom of Israel?

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

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

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

bwe@Acts:2:15 @ You think that these men are drunk. That is not so. It is only nine oclock in the morning.

bwe@Acts:2:22 @ You men of Israel, listen to this. God showed you that he was pleased with this man, Jesus of Nazareth. He proved it by the big works and the wonderful signs which he did by Jesus right here among you people. And you yourselves know it.

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

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

bwe@Acts:3:6 @ Then Peter said, I have no money. But I will give you what I have. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, get up and walk!

bwe@Acts:3:12 @ When Peter saw this, he talked to the people. He said, Men of Israel, why are you so surprised at this? Do you think that we have power or are good enough to make this man walk? Why do you look at us that way?

bwe@Acts:3:15 @ You killed the one who gives life, the one whom God brought back from death. We saw it and are telling people about it.

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

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

bwe@Acts:4:17 @ But we do not want any more people to hear about it. So let us say to these men, "Take care! Never speak to anyone in this name again."

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

bwe@Acts:4:25 @ Our father David was your servant. Through him you said by the Holy Spirit, "Why are the people who are not Jews so angry? And why do the people plan things for nothing?

bwe@Acts:4:29 @ Lord, hear their words. Listen to the wrong things they say against us. We are your servants. Help us to speak your word without fear. And heal the sick by your own power. Let signs and wonderful things be done in the name of your holy Son Jesus.

bwe@Acts:5:9 @ Then Peter said to her, Why did you two agree together to test the Spirit of the Lord? Listen, I hear the footsteps of the men who buried your husband. They are at the door. They will carry you out too.

bwe@Acts:5:13 @ Other people feared to join them, but they spoke well of them.

bwe@Acts:5:25 @ Just then someone came and told them, The men you put in prison are standing in the temple teaching the people.

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

bwe@Acts:5:32 @ We know these things are true. So does the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey him.

bwe@Acts:5:35 @ Then he said, Men of Israel, you had better take care what you plan to do to these men.

bwe@Acts:6:3 @ So then, brothers, you choose seven men who you know are good men. Choose men who are full of the Holy Spirit and are wise. We will give them the work to divide the food.

bwe@Acts:6:14 @ We have heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth will break down this place and that he will change the law which Moses gave us.

bwe@Acts:7:4 @ Then Abraham came out of the country of the Chaldeans and lived for a while in the country of Haran. After his father died, God led him from there to this country where you are living now.

bwe@Acts:7:26 @ The next day he saw two of his own people fighting and he wanted to make peace. "You are brothers," he said. "Why are you fighting?"

bwe@Acts:7:33 @ Then the Lord said, "Take off your shoes. You are standing on holy ground.

bwe@Acts:7:51 @ You hard-hearted people! You have hearts and ears like the people who are not Jews. You always fight against the Holy Spirit just as your fathers did long ago.

bwe@Acts:7:52 @ What did your fathers do to the prophets of God? They made a lot of trouble for every one of them. They killed the ones who told that the Right and True One would come. He is the One you gave up to be killed. You are the killers.

bwe@Acts:7:60 @ Then he kneeled down and said in a loud voice, Lord, do not punish them for this wrong thing they are doing, After he said this, he died.

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

bwe@Acts:8:27 @ So Philip went. He saw a man from the country of Ethiopia. This man was a servant of Candace, the queen of the Ethiopian people. She gave this servant much power. He took care of her money. He had gone to Jerusalem to worship.

bwe@Acts:8:30 @ So Philip went running to him. He heard him reading from the book of the prophet Isaiah. Do you understand what you are reading? Philip asked.

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

bwe@Acts:9:4 @ He fell to the ground and heard someone say, Saul, Saul, why are you troubling me?

bwe@Acts:9:5 @ Saul said, Who are you, Lord? The Lord said, I am Jesus. You are troubling me.

bwe@Acts:9:15 @ The Lord said, Go, I have chosen him to take my name to the people who are not Jews, to kings, and to the people of Israel also.

bwe@Acts:9:30 @ When the Christian brothers knew that, they took him to Caesarea. Then they sent him to Tarsus <FI>the city where he was born<Fi>.

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

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

bwe@Acts:10:19 @ Peter was still thinking about what he had seen. Then the Spirit of God said to him, Three men are looking for you.

bwe@Acts:10:21 @ Then Peter went down to the men whom Cornelius had sent to him. He said, Here I am. You are looking for me. Why have you come?

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

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

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

bwe@Acts:11:3 @ They asked, Why did you visit people who are not Jews? Why did you eat with them?

bwe@Acts:11:11 @ Right then three men came to the house where we were. They had come from Caesarea for me.

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

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

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

bwe@Acts:12:19 @ Herod had looked for him and had not found him. So he questioned the guards and ordered them to be taken away and killed. And then Peter went from Judea to Caesarea to live for a while.

bwe@Acts:13:18 @ For forty years in the wilderness God cared for them like a father.

bwe@Acts:13:32 @ And we are bringing you this good news. God made a promise to our fathers long ago. Now he has made his promise come true.

bwe@Acts:13:33 @ We, their children, have now received the promise. He sent Jesus just as it was written in the second psalm, "You are my Son. Today I have become your Father."

bwe@Acts:13:40 @ Be careful then, so that what the prophets said will not happen to you.

bwe@Acts:13:46 @ But Paul and Barnabas did not fear the Jewish leaders. They said, We had to tell Gods word to you first but you will not listen to it. By that you are saying you Jews are not good enough to live for ever. So we will go to the people who are not Jews.

bwe@Acts:13:47 @ That is what the Lord told us to do. He said, "I have made you to be a light to the people who are not Jews. You will tell people everywhere in the world how to be saved."

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

bwe@Acts:14:23 @ They chose leaders for them in every church. They talked with God and fasted. When they were finished, they gave the leaders over to the Lords care, because they believed in him.

bwe@Acts:14:26 @ From there they went in a boat to Antioch. It was there that the people had given them over to Gods care. They had asked him to bless them in this work. Now they had finished the work.

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

bwe@Acts:15:1 @ Some men came from Judea and taught the Christian brothers. They said, You must be circumcised with the mark made on your body in the way Moses taught us. If you are not circumcised you cannot be saved.

bwe@Acts:15:7 @ After much talking about it, Peter stood up. He said, Men and brothers, you know what happened in the first days. God chose me to tell the good news to those who are not Jews. They believed.

bwe@Acts:15:10 @ So now why are you doing what God did not do? You give the disciples a hard thing to do. Our fathers could not do it. And we cannot do it.

bwe@Acts:15:14 @ Simeon has told us how God came the first time to the people who are not Jews. God chose some of them to belong to him and be his people.

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

bwe@Acts:15:19 @ So now, this is what I think. We should not trouble those who are not Jews but who have turned to God.

bwe@Acts:15:20 @ We should write them a letter and tell them what they must not do. They must not eat food that has been given to idols. They must not have sex with someone who is not their husband or wife. They must not eat the meat of animals that are killed by choking. They must not taste blood.

bwe@Acts:15:23 @ They sent a letter with them. It said, The apostles, the church leaders, and the Christian brothers send greetings to the Christians who are not Jews in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia.

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

bwe@Acts:15:27 @ We are sending Judas and Silas. They will tell you the same things that we have written in the letter.

bwe@Acts:15:29 @ You must not eat food that has been given to idols. You must not eat the meat of animals that are killed by choking. You must not taste blood. You must not commit adultery. If you keep away from these things, you will do well. Goodbye.

bwe@Acts:15:36 @ Some days later, Paul said to Barnabas, Let us go back and visit the brothers in every city where we have told the Lords message. Let us see how they are doing.

bwe@Acts:16:17 @ This girl kept on following Paul and us. She was shouting, These men are servants of the High God. They are telling us how to be saved.

bwe@Acts:16:20 @ When they had brought them before the judges, they said, These men are Jews. And they are making much trouble in our city.

bwe@Acts:16:21 @ They are teaching people laws which we may not obey because we are Roman people.

bwe@Acts:16:23 @ They beat them very hard. Then they put them in prison. Take care, they said to the prison guard. Be sure that these prisoners do not run away.

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

bwe@Acts:16:37 @ But Paul said, We are Romans. And they have beaten us outside where people can see. They have put us in prison without proving we have done wrong. Now, are they going to take us out of prison secretly? No, they themselves must come and take us out.

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

bwe@Acts:17:20 @ You are telling us things we never heard before. We want to understand them.

bwe@Acts:17:22 @ Then Paul stood up in the court and said, You men of Athens, I see that you are very religious and worship many gods.

bwe@Acts:17:23 @ As I walked about, I looked at the things you worship. I saw one place where you make sacrifices. You have written on it, "To the God we do not know." You are worshipping that God, but you do not know him. I will tell you about him.

bwe@Acts:17:28 @ In him we live, and move, and are alive. Some of your own writers have said, "We have come from him".

bwe@Acts:17:34 @ But some men followed him and believed. Among those who believed was Dionysius. He was a judge in the Areopagus court. And a woman named Damaris believed. There were others also.

bwe@Acts:18:6 @ But the people talked back to Paul. And they said wrong things about him. Paul shook his clothes and said to them, If you are lost, it is your own fault, not mine! From now on I will go to those who are not Jews.

bwe@Acts:18:15 @ But this is a matter about words and names and about your own law. So you must go and take care of it yourselves! I will not judge such things.

bwe@Acts:18:22 @ When he reached Caesarea, he went to greet the church people. Then he went on to Antioch.

bwe@Acts:19:15 @ But the bad spirit answered, I know Jesus and I know Paul. But who are you?

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

bwe@Acts:19:26 @ Now you see and hear how this man Paul has talked. He has turned away many people in Ephesus. Not only that, but he has turned away the hearts of many people in almost all of Asia Minor. He says that things made by mens hands are not really gods.

bwe@Acts:19:35 @ At last the city chief stopped the shouting. He said, Men of Ephesus, everyone knows that all the people of Ephesus take care of the house of the great Diana. And they take care of the stone which fell from the sky.

bwe@Acts:20:20 @ I have not feared to tell you everything that would help you. I have taught you in meetings and in your homes.

bwe@Acts:20:27 @ I have not feared to tell you all that God wants you to know.

bwe@Acts:20:28 @ The Holy Spirit has made you leaders over his people. Watch yourselves. Like one who takes care of his sheep, so you must take care of the church people. They are the Lords people. He gave his blood for them.

bwe@Acts:20:29 @ I know this, that there are people as bad as wild animals. After I leave you, they will come to you. They will trouble Gods people.

bwe@Acts:20:30 @ Also, some men will come from among you. They will teach things that are not true. They want people to follow them.

bwe@Acts:20:31 @ So then, watch and remember this. For three years, through the night and in the day, I told every one of you to be careful. I even cried as I told you.

bwe@Acts:20:32 @ And now, my brothers, I give you to God. I leave with you his word which brings blessing. That word is able to make you strong. It will give you your share in the good things of God promised by him. He gives these good things to people who are pure and holy.

bwe@Acts:20:35 @ I have always shown you that you must work hard, as I have. You must help those who cannot work. By so doing you are remembering the words of the Lord Jesus. He said, "It makes you more happy to give something than to get something."

bwe@Acts:21:8 @ The next day we left and came to Caesarea. We went into the house of Philip. He was a man who went out telling the good news. He was one of the seven helpers in the church.

bwe@Acts:21:11 @ When he came to us, he took Pauls belt. He tied his own hands and feet with it. Then he said, The Holy Spirit has told me that in the same way the leaders of the Jews in Jerusalem will tie the man who owns this belt. They will give him over to the people who are not Jews.

bwe@Acts:21:13 @ Then Paul answered, Why are you crying and making me sad like this? I am ready to be tied and also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.

bwe@Acts:21:16 @ Some of the Christians from Caesarea went with us. One of them was Mnason, a man born in Cyprus. He was one of the first Christian believers. We stayed in his house.

bwe@Acts:21:20 @ When they heard it, they praised the Lord. They said to Paul, Brother, there are many thousands of Jews who believe. They all say we must obey the law of Moses.

bwe@Acts:21:24 @ Take them with you. Make yourself clean with them, the way the law says to do. Pay the cost for having their hair cut. Then all the people will know that all the things they heard about you are not true. They will know that you live the way the law says you should live.

bwe@Acts:21:25 @ We sent a letter to those who are not Jews and have believed. Here is what we told them they must not do. They must not touch things that have been given to idols. They must not taste blood. They must not eat the meat of animals that were killed by choking. And they must not take part in any kind of wrong sexual behaviour between men and women.

bwe@Acts:22:2 @ When the people heard him speak in the Jews language, they were even more quiet. Then Paul said, I am a Jew. I was born in the city of Tarsus in Cilicia. But I was raised here in this city. Gamaliel was my teacher. He taught me very well in the law of our fathers. I was trying hard to obey God, just as you all are today.

bwe@Acts:22:7 @ I fell to the ground and heard someone say to me, "Saul, Saul, why are you troubling me?"

bwe@Acts:22:8 @ I said, "Who are you, Lord?" He answered, "I am Jesus of Nazareth. You are troubling me."

bwe@Acts:22:21 @ But the Lord said to me, "Go! I will send you far away to the people who are not Jews."

bwe@Acts:22:26 @ When the captain heard this, he told the commanding officer. He said, What are you going to do? This man is a Roman!

bwe@Acts:22:27 @ Then the commanding officer came to Paul and said, Tell me, are you a Roman? Yes, I am, replied Paul.

bwe@Acts:23:21 @ But you must not do this. More than forty Jews are waiting for him. They have made a promise to themselves. They will not eat or drink until they have killed him. They are ready now and waiting for your agreement.

bwe@Acts:23:23 @ The commanding officer called two officers to him. He said, Get two hundred soldiers ready by nine oclock tonight to go to Caesarea. Send seventy men with them who will ride on horses and two hundred men who will carry spears.

bwe@Acts:23:30 @ When I heard that the Jewish leaders were planning to catch him, I sent him to you at once. I told those who are making complaints against him that they must bring the matter to you.

bwe@Acts:23:33 @ When they reached Caesarea, they gave the letter to the ruler and brought Paul to him.

bwe@Acts:24:3 @ We are always very glad for this everywhere we go.

bwe@Acts:24:5 @ We have found this man to be a real trouble-maker. He talks to the Jews all over the world and causes them to disobey the laws. He is the leading trouble-maker of the Nazarene group.

bwe@Acts:25:1 @ Three days after Festus came to the country, he went to Jerusalem from Caesarea.

bwe@Acts:25:4 @ Festus said, Paul is being kept in prison in Caesarea. I myself am going there soon.

bwe@Acts:25:5 @ Let the men among you who are able come with me. If Paul has done anything wrong, then they can talk against him.

bwe@Acts:25:6 @ Festus stayed only eight or ten days more among them. Then he went to Caesarea. The next day he sat on his chair in the court and had Paul brought in.

bwe@Acts:25:11 @ If I have done wrong things, or any wrong thing for which I should die, then I do not ask to live. But if the things these people say are not true, then no one has power to give me up to the leaders of the Jews. I ask to go to Caesar.

bwe@Acts:25:13 @ Some time after that, king Agrippa and Bernice came to Caesarea to greet Festus.

bwe@Acts:26:7 @ All the people of our twelve tribes serve God faithfully day and night. They do this because they believe they will receive what he has promised. Because I believe this, king Agrippa, the Jewish leaders are talking against me.

bwe@Acts:26:9 @ I used to think that I must do many things against the name of Jesus of Nazareth.

bwe@Acts:26:14 @ We all fell to the ground. I heard someone say to me in the Jews language, "Saul, Saul, why are you troubling me? You hurt yourself when you kick against the sticks which guide you."

bwe@Acts:26:15 @ I said, "Who are you, Lord?" And the Lord said, "I am Jesus, the one you are troubling.

bwe@Acts:26:16 @ But get up. Stand on your feet. Here is why I have shown myself to you. I have chosen you to work for me. I have chosen you to tell people what you saw when you saw me today. You are to tell them also about the other times when I will show myself to you.

bwe@Acts:26:17 @ I will keep you safe from your own people, the Jews. And I will keep you safe from those who are not Jews. I am sending you to them.

bwe@Acts:26:18 @ I send you to them to open their eyes. Then they will turn from darkness to light. You are to take them out of Satans power and turn them to God, to be forgiven of their wrong ways. Then they will be among those who are made clean and pure by believing in me."

bwe@Acts:26:20 @ I told the good news to the people of Damascus and Jerusalem. Then I told it all over Judea. I went to those who are not Jews. I told everyone that they must stop doing wrong things and turn to God. I told them they must show by the way they live that they have stopped doing wrong things.

bwe@Acts:26:23 @ They said Christ must suffer. They said he would be the first person to rise from death. He would be the first person to bring news of light to the Jews and those who are not Jews.

bwe@Acts:26:24 @ While Paul was saying these things Festus shouted, Paul, you are crazy! All your book learning is making you crazy.

bwe@Acts:26:28 @ Then Agrippa said to Paul, You are trying to make me a Christian right away.

bwe@Acts:27:3 @ The next day we stopped at the city of Sidon. Julius was kind to Paul. He allowed him to go to see his friends so they could care for him.

bwe@Acts:27:24 @ He said, "Paul, do not be afraid. You must stand before Caesar. And see, God has given you the lives of all these men who are travelling with you."

bwe@Acts:28:2 @ The people there were very kind to us. They made a fire for us and took care of us. It was cold and raining.

bwe@Acts:28:22 @ But we want to hear from you what you think. We know that people everywhere are talking against this Christian group.

bwe@Romans:1:6 @ You are some of them. You were called to belong to Jesus Christ.

bwe@Romans:1:13 @ My brothers, I want you to know that I have often planned to come to you. But something has stopped me until now. I planned to come so that I might see good things happen among you. I have done this in the other nations which are not Jewish.

bwe@Romans:1:14 @ This is something I must do for the Greek people and for all other people. I must do it for people who are wise and for people who are not wise.

bwe@Romans:1:16 @ I am not ashamed of the good news of Jesus Christ. The good news is the power God uses to save every one who believes. The good news was for the Jews first, but also for those who are not Jews.

bwe@Romans:1:24 @ So God left them to do the things their hearts wanted to do. They did the things that are not right to do with their bodies. They did not respect their own bodies.

bwe@Romans:1:26 @ That is why God left them to do the wrong things they wanted to do. Their women left the right way for women and did things that are wrong for women to do.

bwe@Romans:1:28 @ They did not want to know God. So he left them to their wrong thoughts and to do things that are not right.

bwe@Romans:1:30 @ They said wrong things about people. They hated God. They did not respect people. They were proud. They talked big. They even thought of new wrong things to do. They did not obey their parents.

bwe@Romans:2:5 @ But your hearts are hard. You will not stop. That is why God will be angry with you. He will be angry on the day when people will see that he judges in the right way.

bwe@Romans:2:9 @ Every one who does what is wrong will have much trouble and a hard time. This will happen to the Jews first, then to those who are not Jews.

bwe@Romans:2:10 @ And every one who does what is good, will be made great. He will have honour and peace. This will happen to the Jews first and then to those who are not Jews.

bwe@Romans:2:13 @ (God does not say people are good because they have heard the law. But people who obey the law will be called good people.

bwe@Romans:2:17 @ But you call yourselves Jews. You believe the law. You are proud of your God.

bwe@Romans:2:18 @ You know what he wants people to do. You know the thoughts that are good because you have been taught the law.

bwe@Romans:2:19 @ You are sure that you can lead people who are like blind men. You are like a light for people who are in the dark.

bwe@Romans:2:20 @ You are sure that you can tell foolish people what is right. You can teach people who are like children. You know what you need to know and you know what is true because you have the law.

bwe@Romans:2:23 @ You are proud that you have the law. Do you break the law, and in that way show you do not honour God?

bwe@Romans:2:24 @ The holy writings say, People who are not Jews say wrong things about the name of God. They do it because of what you Jews do.

bwe@Romans:2:25 @ Circumcision of the body is a good thing if you obey the law. But if you break the law, you are like a man who has not been circumcised with this mark of the Jew.

bwe@Romans:2:29 @ If a person is a Jew inside, he is really a Jew. It is God who praises him, not people. True circumcision is done in the heart. It is in the spirit, not in the body. Such people are not praised; but God praises them.

bwe@Romans:3:4 @ No, it does not mean that. God must be true, even if every man is not true. The holy writings say this about God: People will see that you are right in what you say. You will be without fault when you are judged.

bwe@Romans:3:9 @ So what shall we say? Are we Jews any better than other people? No, we are not! I have already shown that all men, both Jews and people who are not Jews have done wrong things.

bwe@Romans:3:14 @ Their mouths are full of cursing and saying bad words to people.

bwe@Romans:3:16 @ Death and trouble are on the ways they go.

bwe@Romans:3:22 @ God puts people right with himself when they believe in Jesus Christ. He does this for all who believe. They are all alike.

bwe@Romans:3:23 @ All have done wrong and all are far from being as good as God.

bwe@Romans:3:30 @ He will put right people who have been circumcised <FI>the Jews<Fi> because they believe. And he will also put right people who are not circumcised when they believe.

bwe@Romans:4:9 @ Does God bless only people who have been circumcised? Or does he also bless those who are not? We say, because Abraham believed God, God called him a good man. His faith made him right with God.

bwe@Romans:4:11 @ Abraham was circumcised as a sign. It was a sign that he was a good man, because he believed when he was not yet circumcised. That makes him the father of all people who believe, even those who are not circumcised. God says they are good people.

bwe@Romans:4:12 @ That makes him also the father of those who are circumcised. I mean people who are circumcised and do as our father Abraham did. Even when he was not circumcised, he believed.

bwe@Romans:4:24 @ They say it for us too. God will say we are put right if we believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from death.

bwe@Romans:5:1 @ We are made good people and put right with God when we believe in Jesus Christ. So now we have peace with God because of what our Lord Jesus Christ did.

bwe@Romans:5:2 @ Because we believe, Christ has brought us to the place where God can do us good. We are in that place now. We are very happy because we have the hope that we shall see Gods greatness.

bwe@Romans:5:3 @ And not only is that true, but we are very happy in our troubles, because we know that trouble makes us stronger.

bwe@Romans:5:4 @ When we are strong to take trouble, we prove that we believe. When we prove that we believe, we have hope.

bwe@Romans:5:10 @ When we were enemies, the death of his Son brought us back to God. Now that we are made right with God, it is the life of Jesus that will save us.

bwe@Romans:5:13 @ People in the world were not right with God before he gave the law. But wrong things are not punished when there is no law.

bwe@Romans:6:3 @ All of us have been baptised in water. This means we are joined to Christ Jesus. We were baptised into his death. Do you know that?

bwe@Romans:6:5 @ Have we shared with Christ and died as he died? Then we shall share with him by rising from death as he arose.

bwe@Romans:6:11 @ So you also must think you are dead, and stop your wrong ways. And you must think you are living for God along with Christ Jesus our Lord.

bwe@Romans:6:12 @ Do not let wrong things rule over your bodies that are going to die. Do not do the things your bodies want.

bwe@Romans:6:16 @ If you give yourselves to be slaves and obey your master, you are not free. You are his slaves. Do you not know this: you may be slaves to wrong things? But you will not live for ever. Or you may be slaves to obey God. Then you will be made good people and live with him.

bwe@Romans:6:19 @ I speak the way people would think about such things, because your minds are weak. At one time you gave your bodies to be slaves to your unclean ways, and to do more and more wrong things. So now give your bodies to be slaves to doing what is right, and to being good.

bwe@Romans:6:21 @ You are now ashamed of those things. What good did they do you? For the end of those things is death.

bwe@Romans:6:22 @ But now you have been made free from wrong ways and you have been made Gods slaves. You are made good and you will live for ever.

bwe@Romans:7:4 @ In the same way my brothers, you died when Christ died. And you are free from the law. Now you belong to another person. You belong to the one who has been raised from death. Because of that, we are able to do what God wants us to do.

bwe@Romans:7:6 @ But now we have been made free from the law. We died, and so we are no longer slaves to the one who was our master. Now we are slaves to God in our new life. This new life is ruled by the Spirit. We do not work for the old written law.

bwe@Romans:7:13 @ So did that good thing make me die? No. The wrong things I did made me die, because that good thing showed they were wrong. And the law shows that the wrong things are very, very bad.

bwe@Romans:8:4 @ He did this so that we might be good people as the law said we should be. We are good people if we live the way the Spirit wants us to live, not the way our bodies want to live.

bwe@Romans:8:7 @ People who think about the things of this life are Gods enemies. They do not obey Gods law. They cannot obey it.

bwe@Romans:8:9 @ Does Gods Spirit live in you? If he does, then you are not living the way the body wants, but you are living the way the Spirit wants. If anyone does not have Christs Spirit, he does not belong to Christ.

bwe@Romans:8:10 @ But if Christ is in you, your bodies are dead because of the wrong things you have done. But your spirits live because you have been made right with God.

bwe@Romans:8:14 @ All who do what Gods Spirit leads them to do are Gods sons.

bwe@Romans:8:15 @ The Holy Spirit you have received does not make you a slave again so that you are afraid. But the Spirit you have received makes you sons of God.

bwe@Romans:8:16 @ So we say, Father! Father! The Spirit himself also, along with our own spirits, tells us that we are Gods children.

bwe@Romans:8:17 @ If we are his children, God will give us the good things that children receive. He will give us these blessings along with Christ. He will give it to us if we suffer with Christ. If we suffer with Christ, we will also be made great with him.

bwe@Romans:8:18 @ I think that the troubles we have in this life are nothing when we think of the great things that we shall have.

bwe@Romans:8:21 @ And it hoped to be free like Gods children when they are made great.

bwe@Romans:8:23 @ And not the world only, but we ourselves also cry out. We have the first blessing God gives of his Spirit. But we cry out in our hearts. We are waiting for God to finish making us his sons. Then our bodies will be set free.

bwe@Romans:8:26 @ Also the Spirit helps us because we are weak. We do not know how we should talk to God. But the Spirit himself talks to God for us, while we cry and cannot say any words.

bwe@Romans:8:28 @ We know that God works out everything for the good of those who love him. They are the people who are part of his plan.

bwe@Romans:8:34 @ Who will say they are not right? Jesus Christ died. Yes, he was raised from death. He is at the right side of God. And he talks to God for us.

bwe@Romans:8:36 @ The holy writings say, For your sake we are killed all day. We are like sheep ready to be killed.

bwe@Romans:9:3 @ They are Jews. God gave them the right to be his sons. He showed them how great he is. He made agreements with them. He gave them the law. He told them how to worship him. He gave them the promises.

bwe@Romans:9:5 @ God will do what he said he would do. Not all who are Jews belong to the real Israel.

bwe@Romans:9:6 @ Not all the people in Abrahams family are his children. But the holy writings say, It is Isaacs family who will be called your family.

bwe@Romans:9:7 @ This means that not all who were born in Abrahams family are Gods children. God promised Abraham a son <FI>Isaac<Fi>. His children <FI>the Jews<Fi> are the ones that God called Abrahams true family.

bwe@Romans:9:14 @ He says to Moses, I will be kind to a person if I choose to be kind to him. I will share in the suffering of others if I choose to be sorry for them.

bwe@Romans:9:19 @ But you are only a man. Will you tell God what to do? Can the pot say to the man who made it, Why did you make me like this?

bwe@Romans:9:23 @ That means he also called us. He called not only those who are Jews, but also those who are not Jews.

bwe@Romans:9:25 @ And in the very place where it was said to them, "You are not my people," they will be called "sons of the living God."

bwe@Romans:9:26 @ Isaiah the prophet of God said long ago about Israel, Even if the people of Israel are as many as the sand by the sea, only some of them will be saved.

bwe@Romans:9:29 @ So what shall we say? The people who are not Jews have been put right with God. They did nothing to make themselves right with God. But they were put right because they believed God.

bwe@Romans:10:6 @ But the holy writings also speak about those who are put right by believing: Do not say in your heart, "Who will go up into heaven?" (That means, Who will go up to heaven to bring Christ down?)

bwe@Romans:10:12 @ The Jews and other people are alike. The same Lord is Lord of all people. He richly blesses all who call out to him.

bwe@Romans:10:15 @ And how can people tell about him if no one sends them? The holy writings say, How good are the feet of those who bring the good news of peace and happiness.

bwe@Romans:10:19 @ But I ask, did not the Jews know? First the book of Moses says, I will make you jealous through people who are not a nation like the Jews. I will make you angry through people who do not even know or understand these things.

bwe@Romans:11:3 @ He said, Lord, they have killed your prophets. They have pulled down your holy places. I am the only one that is left, and they are trying to kill me.

bwe@Romans:11:5 @ So now some are left because God was kind to them, and chose them.

bwe@Romans:11:11 @ So I ask, Have their feet been caught so that they have really fallen down? No. But because they began to fall, the people who are not Jews were told how to be saved. That would make the Jews jealous.

bwe@Romans:11:12 @ The people who are not Jews have been richly blessed because the Jews failed. So it will be even better for them when the Jews no longer fail God.

bwe@Romans:11:13 @ Now I say this to you who are not Jews. I am an apostle to those who are not Jews, so I think highly of the work I have been sent to do.

bwe@Romans:11:16 @ If the first piece of bread is holy, so is all the rest which came from the same bread mix. If the root of a tree is holy, the branches are holy also.

bwe@Romans:11:18 @ But do not think that you are better than the trees own branches. If you do, remember it is not you that holds the root in place. But it is the root that holds you.

bwe@Romans:12:3 @ God has given me this gift. So I say this to every one of you. Do not think you are better than you really are. But think of yourself as you are. You are what you are because God has given you something when you believed.

bwe@Romans:12:4 @ In a body there are many parts, but all the parts do not do the same thing.

bwe@Romans:12:5 @ In the same way, we are many people. But we are one body because we are all joined together in Christ. Each one of us is a part of all the others.

bwe@Romans:12:13 @ Give to Gods people who need it. Be glad to take care of strangers in your house.

bwe@Romans:12:15 @ Be happy with people who are happy. Cry with people who cry.

bwe@Romans:12:16 @ Agree with one another. Do not be proud, but be friends with anybody. Do not think you are wiser than you are.

bwe@Romans:13:1 @ Every person must obey the rulers over him. Every ruler has his power from God. And the rulers are put there by God.

bwe@Romans:13:9 @ The law says, Do not commit adultery. Do not kill. Do not steal. Do not want things that belong to other people. These laws and others are all in this one law: Love your neighbour as you love yourself.

bwe@Romans:13:11 @ In all this you know what a special time it is. It is time now for you to wake up from your sleep. The time when we will be saved is nearer to us now than when we first believed.

bwe@Romans:13:13 @ Let us live in the right way like people who are in the light. We must not take part in noisy feasting with dancing, or get drunk. We must not do any kind of wrong thing with sex. We must not quarrel or be jealous.

bwe@Romans:14:5 @ One man thinks, This day is better than that day. But another man thinks, All days are alike. Every man should be sure in his own mind what he believes.

bwe@Romans:14:15 @ Does what you eat trouble your brother? If it does, you are no longer living in love. Do not destroy the faith of someone because of what you eat. Christ died for him.

bwe@Romans:15:1 @ We who are strong must help those who are not strong. We must not do what pleases us.

bwe@Romans:15:9 @ He did this so that people who are not Jews would praise God because he is kind. The holy writings say, So I will praise you among the people who are not Jews. I will sing songs to your name.

bwe@Romans:15:10 @ The holy writings also say, People who are not Jews, be glad with those who are Gods people.

bwe@Romans:15:11 @ And they also say, People who are not Jews, praise the Lord. All peoples should praise him.

bwe@Romans:15:12 @ Also, Isaiah says, Someone from Jesses family will come. He will come to rule the people who are not Jews. People who are not Jews will have hope in him.

bwe@Romans:15:14 @ My brothers, I myself believe that you are very good people. I believe that you know many things and are able to teach one another.

bwe@Romans:15:15 @ I have written strong words to you. There are some things I want you to remember. I have written because of the gift God has given to me.

bwe@Romans:15:16 @ I am a servant of Christ Jesus to the people who are not Jews. I am like a priest to them, to tell them Gods good news. Then I offer the people to God. That pleases God. They have been accepted by him and made holy by the Holy Spirit.

bwe@Romans:15:18 @ I will speak only of what Christ has done through me. People who are not Jews have obeyed the good news. They have obeyed because of what I told them and because of what I did.

bwe@Romans:15:26 @ The people of Macedonia and Achaia wanted to send a gift to help Gods people in Jerusalem who are poor.

bwe@Romans:16:4 @ They almost died to save me. I am not the only one who thanks them. All the churches who are not Jews thank them also.

bwe@Romans:16:7 @ Give my greetings to Andronicus and Junia. They belong to my family. We were in prison together. The apostles think they are good men. They were Christians before I was.

bwe@Romans:16:11 @ Give my greetings to Herodion. He belongs to my family. Give my greetings to the family of Narcissus. They are Christians.

bwe@Romans:16:14 @ Give my greetings to Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermas, Patrobas, Hermes, and the brothers who are with them.

bwe@Romans:16:15 @ Give my greetings to Philologus, Julia, Nereus, and his sister, and Olympas, and all Gods people who are with them.

bwe@Romans:16:23 @ Gaius sends you greetings. I am staying in his house. The whole church that meets in his house sends you greetings too. Erastus sends greetings to you. He takes care of the money for the city. Our brother Quartus sends you greetings.

bwe@Romans:16:26 @ The books of the prophets have told this message. The God who lives for ever told the prophets to write this message so that all the people who are not Jews will believe and obey.

bwe@1Corinthians:1:2 @ Our Christian brother Sosthenes and I send greetings to the people who are the church of God in the city of Corinth. You are people whom Christ Jesus has made holy. You, too, are chosen to be Gods people. And we send greetings to all the people everywhere who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. He is their Lord, just as he is our Lord.

bwe@1Corinthians:1:11 @ My brothers, I say this because I have been told by some of Chloes family that you are quarrelling.

bwe@1Corinthians:1:18 @ When people who are turning away from God hear about the cross, they say, That is foolish! But for us who are being saved, the cross is the power God uses to save us.

bwe@1Corinthians:1:20 @ Where are your wise people, the men who know books, the men who like to talk about the things of this world? God has shown that the clever things of this world are nothing.

bwe@1Corinthians:1:22 @ The Jews say, We must see a sign. Those who are not Jews say, We want something we can understand.

bwe@1Corinthians:1:23 @ But we tell people about Christ who died on a cross. The leaders of the Jews do not like this, and those who are not Jews laugh at it.

bwe@1Corinthians:1:24 @ But some have been called by God. They are chosen, both Jews and other people. Christ is Gods power to save them. This shows how wise he is.

bwe@1Corinthians:1:30 @ You are Gods children through Christ Jesus. Christ came from God and made us wise. He put us right with God. He made us holy. He set us free from our wrong ways.

bwe@1Corinthians:2:6 @ However, our words are wise words to those who really believe. But they are not the kind of wise words that the people of this world speak. They are not the kind of wise words that the rulers of this world speak. Those rulers will die.

bwe@1Corinthians:2:7 @ Our wise words are Gods wise words about things people do not understand. Before God made the world he planned those things for our glory and blessing.

bwe@1Corinthians:2:14 @ The person who does not have the Spirit does not receive the blessings of the Spirit of God. He thinks they are foolish. He cannot understand them because only people who have the Spirit of God can test them.

bwe@1Corinthians:3:1 @ My brothers, I could not talk to you at first as to people who have the Spirit of God. But I talked to you as people who have the spirit of this world. I talked to you as people who are very new-born, baby Christians.

bwe@1Corinthians:3:2 @ I gave you milk to drink, not food to eat. You were not ready for food. And even now you are not ready for it.

bwe@1Corinthians:3:3 @ You still have the spirit of this world in you. You are jealous of each other and you are quarrelling. The spirit of this world is still in you and you live like people of this world.

bwe@1Corinthians:3:8 @ The man who plants and the man who waters are equal. Each one will be paid for his own work.

bwe@1Corinthians:3:9 @ We work together for God. You are Gods farm. You are Gods house.

bwe@1Corinthians:3:10 @ I built the lower walls of the house because God showed me the best way to do it. Now another man builds on top of this foundation. Each man must take care how he builds on it.

bwe@1Corinthians:3:16 @ You know that you are Gods house. The spirit of God lives in you.

bwe@1Corinthians:3:17 @ God will punish anyone who spoils his house. His house is holy, and you are the house.

bwe@1Corinthians:3:20 @ It also says, The Lord knows that the wise mens thoughts are good for nothing.

bwe@1Corinthians:3:22 @ Paul, Apollos, Peter, the world, life, death, the things which are now, and the things which are to come, everything is yours!

bwe@1Corinthians:4:1 @ People should look at us as men who are servants of Christ. We take care of the secret things of God.

bwe@1Corinthians:4:2 @ A man who takes care of things must be a person his master can trust.

bwe@1Corinthians:4:3 @ As for me, I care very little what you think about me or how any man judges me. I do not even judge myself.

bwe@1Corinthians:4:7 @ If you are better, who made you that way? Everything you have was given to you. So then, why are you proud of it? Was it not given to you?

bwe@1Corinthians:4:8 @ So you think you now have everything you need and are rich! You think you are kings and do not need us! I wish that you really were kings. Then we would be kings along with you.

bwe@1Corinthians:4:9 @ It seems to me that God has put us apostles at the end of the line. We are like men who are to be put to death. The whole world, angels and men, look at us.

bwe@1Corinthians:4:10 @ We are fools for Christs sake! But you think Christ has made you wise. We are weak, but you are strong! You have glory, we have shame!

bwe@1Corinthians:4:11 @ Even now we are hungry and thirsty. We need clothes. We are beaten and we have no home.

bwe@1Corinthians:4:14 @ I do not write these things to make you ashamed. But you are my dear children and I want to teach you.

bwe@1Corinthians:4:15 @ Even if you have ten thousand people to take care of you as Christians, yet you do not have many fathers. I am your Christian father because I brought you the good news.

bwe@1Corinthians:4:18 @ Some of you are proud of yourselves. You think I am not coming to visit you.

bwe@1Corinthians:5:1 @ I have heard a very bad report about you. I hear there are wrong sexual ways among you. Even the people who are not Jews do not allow wrong sex such as this among them. A man is living with his fathers wife!

bwe@1Corinthians:5:2 @ Can it be that you are still proud? This should make you very sad. The man who has done this should be put out of the church meeting.

bwe@1Corinthians:5:6 @ Clean out the old yeast so that you will become like new bread. You are free from the old things. Christ, the Passover Lamb, has been killed for us.

bwe@1Corinthians:5:8 @ I wrote a letter to you. I told you not to be friends with people who use sex the wrong way <FI>with a person they are not married to<Fi>.

bwe@1Corinthians:5:9 @ I did not mean the people of the world <FI>people who are not Christians<Fi> -some of them use sex the wrong way; or always want more things; or steal; or worship idols. To keep away from them altogether would mean you would have to go out of the world.

bwe@1Corinthians:5:11 @ Why should I judge the people who are outside the church? You are to judge the church people.

bwe@1Corinthians:5:12 @ God judges those who are outside. The holy writings say, Send the bad person away from among you.

bwe@1Corinthians:6:1 @ When one of you has some complaint against a Christian brother, why does he take him to be judged by those who are not Christians? Why does he not take him to Gods people?

bwe@1Corinthians:6:2 @ Do you not know that some day Gods people will judge the world? If you are going to judge the world, can you not judge small things now?

bwe@1Corinthians:6:4 @ So if you have complaints about things in this life, why do you take them to those who are not church people?

bwe@1Corinthians:6:5 @ Shame on you! Are none of you wise enough to judge between two Christian brothers?

bwe@1Corinthians:6:6 @ But now one Christian brother takes another Christian brother to be judged by people who are not Christians.

bwe@1Corinthians:6:8 @ Instead, you are doing wrong to your own Christian brothers.

bwe@1Corinthians:6:9 @ Do you not know that bad people will have no part in the kingdom where God rules? Do not be fooled. There are some people who will not have part in that place. They are those who commit adultery of any kind, those who have idols, or steal, or are always wanting more, or talk wrong things about people, or drink plenty of strong drink, or take things by force, or curse.

bwe@1Corinthians:6:12 @ I am free to do anything I want, but some things are not good for me to do. I am free to do anything, but I will not become a slave of anything.

bwe@1Corinthians:7:8 @ Here is what I say to those who are not married and to those whose husbands are dead. It is good for them to stay the way I am.

bwe@1Corinthians:7:10 @ And here is what I say to those who are married. (And yet it is not what I say. It is what the Lord has said.) The wife may not leave her husband.

bwe@1Corinthians:7:14 @ The husband who is not a Christian is made holy by the wife. And the wife who is not a Christian is made holy by the husband. If this were not so, then your children would not be holy. But they are holy.

bwe@1Corinthians:7:25 @ Here is what I say about those who are not married. (I have no law from the Lord about this. But here is what I think. You can trust me because the Lord has helped me.)

bwe@1Corinthians:7:31 @ And people who are busy with things in this world should not be too busy. The world as we see it is passing away.

bwe@1Corinthians:8:5 @ There are things in the sky and on earth which are called gods. Yes, there are many gods and lords.

bwe@1Corinthians:8:7 @ But not every Christian knows these things. Some of them have always believed in idols. And when they eat food which has been given to an idol, they think the food belongs to the idol. And because they are weak Christians they feel they do wrong when they eat it.

bwe@1Corinthians:8:9 @ Perhaps you feel it is all right for you to do it. But be careful! It might make the weak Christian do wrong.

bwe@1Corinthians:9:1 @ Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are you people not proof of the work I do for the Lord?

bwe@1Corinthians:9:2 @ If other people do not call me an apostle, yet surely I am an apostle to you. You people are the proof that I am an apostle for the Lord.

bwe@1Corinthians:9:7 @ What soldier pays for his own food when he goes to war? Who plants a garden and does not eat what grows in it? Who takes care of animals and does not get any of the milk?

bwe@1Corinthians:9:9 @ Moses wrote in his books of the law of God, Do not tie shut the mouth of an ox when it is treading the grain. Does God care about the oxen?

bwe@1Corinthians:9:10 @ Does he not say this altogether for our sakes? Yes, he said it for our sakes. There are people who plough the ground and beat the grain. They do this work because they believe they will have a part of the food for themselves.

bwe@1Corinthians:9:13 @ You know there are men who do the work in the temple. They get their food from the temple. Those who help to make sacrifices in the temple get a part of the sacrifice.

bwe@1Corinthians:9:20 @ When I was with the Jews, I lived like the Jews, so that I might win the Jews to Christ. I was not under the law. But I lived as if I was under the law of the Jews. I did this so that I might win to Christ those who are under the law.

bwe@1Corinthians:9:24 @ You know when people are running a race, they all run. But only one man will win. The way you should run is to run to win.

bwe@1Corinthians:10:11 @ These things happened to them to teach other people. They were written in the holy writings to teach us who are living in the last days of the world.

bwe@1Corinthians:10:12 @ Therefore, when a person thinks, I am strong; I can stand, let that person be careful, or he will fall.

bwe@1Corinthians:10:17 @ The bread is all one loaf. In the same way, we are many people but we are one body. We all eat from the same loaf.

bwe@1Corinthians:10:18 @ See what the Jews do. Those who eat the sacrifices all eat things that are sacrificed.

bwe@1Corinthians:10:22 @ Do we want to make the Lord jealous? Are we stronger than he is? No!

bwe@1Corinthians:10:23 @ We are free to do anything we want to do. Yes, but some things do not make people better. It is better if we do not do such things.

bwe@1Corinthians:11:2 @ You are doing well. You remember everything I told you. And you are doing what I taught you to do.

bwe@1Corinthians:11:17 @ In the next thing I have to talk about, I cannot say that you are doing well. Your meeting together is more bad than good.

bwe@1Corinthians:11:22 @ Do you not have your own homes where you can eat and drink? Do you have no respect for the church of God? Do you want to make poor people ashamed? What shall I say to you? Shall I say you are doing well? No, you are not doing well in this matter!

bwe@1Corinthians:11:28 @ Each one must look into his own heart carefully. When he has done that, he may eat the bread and drink from the cup.

bwe@1Corinthians:11:30 @ That is why many of you are weak and sick. Many have died.

bwe@1Corinthians:11:32 @ When we are punished, the Lord is teaching us to do right, so that we will not be punished with the rest of the people of the world.

bwe@1Corinthians:11:34 @ If a man is hungry, he should eat at home. Then when you meet, you will not be found in the wrong. There are other matters. I will talk about them when I come to see you.

bwe@1Corinthians:12:4 @ There are different gifts, but there is only one Spirit.

bwe@1Corinthians:12:5 @ There are different kinds of work, but there is only one Lord.

bwe@1Corinthians:12:6 @ There are different ways of working, but there is only one God. He works in all people and does it all.

bwe@1Corinthians:12:20 @ The way it is now, there are many parts, but it is one body.

bwe@1Corinthians:12:22 @ No, that is not so. Some parts of the body are not as strong as others. Yet we could not live without them.

bwe@1Corinthians:12:23 @ And we look after some parts of our body more than others because they need it. The parts of our body that are not so fine in one way are made more fine in other ways. But the parts which are fine already do not need to be made fine. God made the body and has given more care to the parts that need it.

bwe@1Corinthians:12:24 @ He did this so that the body would not be divided into groups, but all the parts would help each other. 26)If one part has trouble, then all the other parts are troubled too. If one part is praised, then all the other parts are glad with it.

bwe@1Corinthians:12:25 @ Now, all of you together are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.

bwe@1Corinthians:12:26 @ God has given each person their right place in the church. First, there are the apostles. Second, there are prophets who speak words from God. Third, there are those who teach. Then there are those who do big works. Then there are those who have the gifts to heal people, those who help in the work of the church people, those who lead and guide others, and those who speak Gods words in different kinds of tongues or languages.

bwe@1Corinthians:12:27 @ Are all the people apostles? Can they all speak words from God? Can they all teach? Can they all do big works?

bwe@1Corinthians:13:5 @ Love does not do things that are not nice. Love does not just think of itself. Love does not get angry. Love holds no wrong feelings in the heart.

bwe@1Corinthians:13:13 @ These three things will remain for ever. They are faith, hope, and love. And love is the greatest of them.

bwe@1Corinthians:14:10 @ There are no doubt many different languages in the world. And every one of them has a meaning.

bwe@1Corinthians:14:22 @ So then, tongues are a sign to people who do not believe God. They are not a sign to those who believe him. But speaking words from God like a prophet is a sign to those who believe. It is not a sign to those who do not believe.

bwe@1Corinthians:14:23 @ Sometimes all the people of the church may be gathered together. If everyone talks in tongues, and if some people who do not know or believe come in, they will say that you are crazy.

bwe@1Corinthians:14:32 @ Those who speak words from God are able to keep their own spirits quiet.

bwe@1Corinthians:14:36 @ Do you think that you were the first ones to tell the word of God? Or do you think that you are the only people who have it?

bwe@1Corinthians:15:2 @ You are saved by it, if you hold on to what I told you. If you do not, then you have believed for nothing.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:6 @ After that, more than five hundred Christian brothers saw him at one time. Most of them are still living, but some have died.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:9 @ The other apostles are all greater than I am. I should not be called an apostle because I troubled the people of Gods church.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:15 @ If this were so, we would have been telling lies about God, because we said that God raised up Christ. He did not raise up Christ if dead people are not raised up.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:16 @ If dead people are not raised, then Christ was not raised either.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:18 @ If that were true, then the people who believed in Christ who have now died, are lost.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:19 @ And if we have hope in Christ for our life in this world only, then we are the most unhappy of all people.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:22 @ All people who are of Adam die. And so also, all people who belong to Christ will live.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:29 @ Another thing, what good is it for people to be baptized for dead people? If dead people are not raised, why are some people baptized for them?

bwe@1Corinthians:15:30 @ And why are we in trouble all the time?

bwe@1Corinthians:15:39 @ Not all living bodies are alike. People have one kind of body. Animals have another kind of body. Fish another kind of body. Birds have another kind.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:40 @ So too, there are bodies for the sky and bodies for the earth. The bodies for the sky are fine in one way, and the bodies for the earth are fine in another way. They are not alike.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:41 @ The sun is fine in one way. The moon is fine in another way. The stars are fine in still another way. And one star is fine in a different way from another star.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:48 @ Those who are made of earth are like the man made of dust. Those who are for heaven are like the man from heaven.

bwe@1Corinthians:15:55 @ Death hurts us because we are bad people. And our wrong ways are so strong because of the law.

bwe@1Corinthians:16:9 @ A door has opened for me to do much good work here. But there are many people against me.

bwe@1Corinthians:16:13 @ Be awake! Stand strong in what you believe. Show that you are men. Be strong.

bwe@1Corinthians:16:16 @ So, my brothers, I ask you to obey men like that. And join happily with all others who are helpers and workers.

bwe@2Corinthians:1:3 @ He helps us every time we have trouble. Then we are able to be strong and help other people every time they have trouble. We can do this with the same comfort that God gives us.

bwe@2Corinthians:1:5 @ When we have trouble, it is for your sake so that you will be helped and saved. When we are comforted, this helps you. Then you will stand strong when you have the same troubles we have.

bwe@2Corinthians:1:20 @ He has put his Spirit in our hearts. This is the first part of what we are to receive, and it proves that we will receive all God has promised.

bwe@2Corinthians:1:22 @ We do not rule over what you believe. But we work with you to make you glad. You are strong already by believing as you do.

bwe@2Corinthians:2:12 @ We are like a sweet smell to God. It is the smell of Christ we have. We have this sweet smell among the people who are saved and among those who are lost.

bwe@2Corinthians:2:13 @ To some it smells like death and brings death to those who are lost. To others it smells like life and it brings life to those who are saved. Who is good enough for such things?

bwe@2Corinthians:2:14 @ We are not like some people. They tell Gods message to make money. But we tell it with a true heart just as God told it to us. We tell it as if we stood before God. And we tell it with Christs help.

bwe@2Corinthians:3:1 @ Do you think we are starting again to tell how good we are? Do we need letters to tell about us, as some teachers do? We do not need letters to you or from you to praise us.

bwe@2Corinthians:3:2 @ You yourselves are our letter. This letter has been written in our hearts. All people can read it and understand it.

bwe@2Corinthians:3:3 @ All can see that you are a letter from Christ written by us. It is not written in ink, but it is written in the Spirit of the living God. It is not written on pieces of rock, but on the hearts of people.

bwe@2Corinthians:3:5 @ We are not good enough to think we can do anything ourselves. But God makes us able to do it.

bwe@2Corinthians:3:13 @ We are not like Moses. He put a cloth over his face so that the people of Israel would not see that the light from God was dying.

bwe@2Corinthians:3:15 @ Yes, even today, when the books of Moses are read, it is as if a cloth covers their hearts and minds.

bwe@2Corinthians:3:17 @ Now the Lord is the Spirit. Where the Spirit of the Lord is, people are set free.

bwe@2Corinthians:3:18 @ All of us have no cloth over our faces. People can see that we have some of the bright and wonderful light that the Lord has. And we are becoming brighter and brighter, more and more like him. It is the Lord, the Spirit, who does this.

bwe@2Corinthians:4:3 @ If the good news which we tell is not clear to some people, it is because they are lost. They do not believe.

bwe@2Corinthians:4:5 @ We do not talk about ourselves, but about Christ Jesus our Lord. And we are your slaves for Jesus sake.

bwe@2Corinthians:4:7 @ This is something of great value within us, but we are like pots made of earth and clay. This power is greater than any other power. But it comes from God, not from us.

bwe@2Corinthians:4:8 @ We have much trouble, but we do not give up. We are in hard places, but help always comes.

bwe@2Corinthians:4:9 @ People trouble us, but God is always with us. We are beaten, but we are not killed.

bwe@2Corinthians:4:11 @ While we live we are always ready to die for Jesus. And so the life of Jesus is also seen in our bodies which will die.

bwe@2Corinthians:4:17 @ We are not looking at things that can be seen, but at things that cannot be seen. The things which can be seen last only a little while. But the things which cannot be seen last for ever.

bwe@2Corinthians:5:2 @ While we are in the house we have now, we are always crying and wanting to have our house from heaven.

bwe@2Corinthians:5:3 @ When we have moved into it, then we are sure that we will never be left without a house.

bwe@2Corinthians:5:4 @ While we are in this house, we cry and are troubled. It is not that we want to move out of this house, but we want to move into the other one. Then this body which will die will be changed into one which will live.

bwe@2Corinthians:5:5 @ God is the one who has made us ready for this change. He has already given us the Spirit. This is the first part of what we are to receive, and it proves that we will get more.

bwe@2Corinthians:5:6 @ So we always feel sure. While we live in our bodies we are not in our house with the Lord. We know that.

bwe@2Corinthians:5:9 @ So it does not matter if we are living here or go to live there. Wherever we are we want to please the Lord.

bwe@2Corinthians:5:10 @ We must all stand before Christ to be judged. Then we will receive pay. If we have done well, our pay will be good. If we have not done well, our pay will not be good. must be feared, so we try to get people to believe. God knows what we are and what we do. And we hope that in your hearts you, too, know.

bwe@2Corinthians:5:11 @ No, we are not praising ourselves again. But we are telling you this so that you may really be proud of us. Then you will be ready to answer people who are proud of themselves. They are proud of the things which can be seen.But in their hearts they have nothing to be proud of.

bwe@2Corinthians:5:12 @ If we are crazy, it is for Gods sake. If we are right in our minds, it is for your sakes.

bwe@2Corinthians:5:19 @ So we are messengers for Christ. God is using us to call people. So we are standing here for Christ and begging people, Come back to God!

bwe@2Corinthians:5:20 @ Christ did no wrong thing. But for our sake God put the blame for our wrong ways on Christ. So now God sees us as good, because we are in Christ.

bwe@2Corinthians:6:4 @ In every way we try to show that we are good servants of God. We do not give up when there is much trouble, and things go wrong, and things are hard.

bwe@2Corinthians:6:5 @ We are being beaten and put in prison. We are being knocked around. We work hard. We are awake at night and we go hungry.

bwe@2Corinthians:6:6 @ We help you with our knowledge and by living a clean life, with the help of the Spirit. We are patient and kind. We help you by the Holy Spirit. We have shown true love.

bwe@2Corinthians:6:7 @ We have told you the truth with the power of God. These are the right things to use in our fight, and we have used them with both hands.

bwe@2Corinthians:6:9 @ Many people do not know us, and yet many people know us very well. We almost die and yet we live. People give us much trouble but they do not kill us. We are very sad and yet always glad.

bwe@2Corinthians:6:10 @ We are poor, but we make many people rich. We have nothing, but really we have everything.

bwe@2Corinthians:6:13 @ I say this as to my own children. You should love us with all your hearts. with those who do not believe. You and they are not equal. How can people who do right, work with those who do not obey God? How can light and darkness be in the same place?

bwe@2Corinthians:6:15 @ Is there anything equal about a house of God and a house of idols? We are a house of the living God. God has said, I will live in them and walk in them. I will be their God and they will be my people.

bwe@2Corinthians:7:5 @ But God comforts those who are in trouble, and when Titus came, we were comforted.

bwe@2Corinthians:7:9 @ When we are sad the way God wants us to be, we turn from our wrong ways. Then we are saved and we can never be sorry about that. But the sorrow of the world brings death.

bwe@2Corinthians:7:11 @ So, even though I did write to you, it was not for the sake of the man who did wrong. And it was not for the sake of the man who had the wrong done to him. But I wrote so that you would see for yourselves, in the sight of God, how much we care for you.

bwe@2Corinthians:7:14 @ He loves you even more when he remembers how you all obeyed him. You feared and trembled.

bwe@2Corinthians:8:2 @ They are being tested by much trouble. But they are always very happy. And they are very poor. Because of these two things, they give to others as if they were rich.

bwe@2Corinthians:8:14 @ I want it to be equal for everyone. Right now, you have plenty and are able to help them. Another time, when they have plenty, they will help you when you need it. In that way things will be equal.

bwe@2Corinthians:8:15 @ The holy writings say, The person who had plenty did not have too much. And the person who did not have much, had enough. care for you into the heart of Titus that I have.

bwe@2Corinthians:8:17 @ We are sending another brother with him. This brother has a good name in all the churches because he tells the good news.

bwe@2Corinthians:8:18 @ Not only that, but the churches have chosen him to travel with us as we take care of this gift. We are doing this so that the Lord will be praised. We want to help others.

bwe@2Corinthians:8:19 @ We do not want anyone to say that we have not done the right thing. So we are taking care of this big gift in the right way. 21We want to do what the Lord says is right, but also what people say is right.

bwe@2Corinthians:8:20 @ And we are also sending another brother with them. We have found him to be glad to help us in many matters, many times. And now he is much more glad to help because he trusts you very much.

bwe@2Corinthians:9:4 @ If some men from Macedonia come with me and see that you are not ready, then we will be ashamed, and you too. We will be ashamed that we were so sure.

bwe@2Corinthians:10:2 @ I beg you, do not force me to talk hard words when I come. I have made up my mind to talk hard words against some people. They think we are living for the things in this world.

bwe@2Corinthians:10:3 @ Of course we are living in bodies made for this world. But we are not fighting for the things in this world.

bwe@2Corinthians:10:6 @ Only when you all obey, then we are ready to punish anyone who will not obey.

bwe@2Corinthians:10:10 @ Some people say, Pauls letters make us listen. They are strong. But he himself is weak and what he says is not worth listening to.

bwe@2Corinthians:10:12 @ We do not want to be like those people who praise themselves. They measure themselves by their own ideas, and look at themselves to see how good they are. When they do that, they are foolish!

bwe@2Corinthians:10:14 @ We are not going farther than we should when we come to you. We were the first to come all the way to you with the good news of Christ.

bwe@2Corinthians:11:4 @ You listen to a new man when he comes to tell you about a different Jesus, which is not the one we told you about. And when you receive a spirit and a message which are not the ones you had first, then you listen too much.

bwe@2Corinthians:11:5 @ But I really do not think that the chief apostles are any better than I am!

bwe@2Corinthians:11:12 @ And I will keep on doing what I am doing now. Some teachers are praising themselves. They say they are like us. By doing this I prove they are not like us.

bwe@2Corinthians:11:13 @ Men like that are not true apostles. They work to fool people. They try to make themselves look like apostles of Christ.

bwe@2Corinthians:11:18 @ Since you are wise, you still agree to listen to foolish people.

bwe@2Corinthians:11:21 @ Are they Hebrew people? So am I. Are they Israels people? So am I. Is Abraham their father? He is mine too.

bwe@2Corinthians:11:22 @ Are they workers for Christ? (I talk like one who is not in his right mind.) I am a better worker. I have worked much harder. I have been in prison more often. I have been beaten many, many times. Often I have almost died.

bwe@2Corinthians:11:25 @ I have travelled much. I have crossed bad rivers. I have gone where men might steal my things. The Jews and those who are not Jews have troubled me. I have been in hard places in the city. I have had hard times in the desert. I have had hard times on the water. I have had hard times among those who should have been my brothers and were not.

bwe@2Corinthians:11:31 @ God knows I am not telling lies. He is the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ and he is to be praised forever. 32In the city of Damascus a man ruled for king Aretas. He had the gates of the city guarded because he wanted to catch me.

bwe@2Corinthians:12:9 @ But he said to me, My kindness and strength is enough for you. When you are weak, my power is strong. So then, I am very glad to talk about how weak I am so that the power of Christ may live in me.

bwe@2Corinthians:12:10 @ So then, for the sake of Christ I am glad to be weak, to have people say wrong things about me, to be poor, to have people trouble me, and to have hard times. When I am weak, that is the time I am really strong, have been acting like one with no sense, but you have made me do it. You should have been talking about the good things I have done. The very best apostles are not one bit better than I am, even though I am nothing at all.

bwe@2Corinthians:12:11 @ There are signs that show a true apostle. I did all these things when I was among you. There were signs, wonderful works, and other big works which I did. You saw the power of God, even though I was being tested.

bwe@2Corinthians:12:13 @ Now, I am ready to come to you for the third time. And I will not trouble you to pay me. I do not want what belongs to you, but I want you. The children should not save up for their parents, but the parents should do it for their children.

bwe@2Corinthians:12:18 @ Am I saying all this just to you? Are we just trying to make ourselves look right to you? No, we say this before God and in Christ. And my dear people, I have done it all to make you better Christians.

bwe@2Corinthians:12:19 @ I want to be pleased with you when I come. But I am afraid I will not be. And I am afraid that you will not be pleased with me. I fear that I may find quarrelling, jealousy, anger, and that I will find you are enemies to each other, that you are spoiling each others names, that you are telling stories about each other, that you are proud and do not obey rulers.

bwe@2Corinthians:13:4 @ It is true that he was weak when he died on a cross. But now he is alive by the power of God. We are weak as he was, but we will also be alive as he is by the power God has. You will see this.

bwe@2Corinthians:13:9 @ We are glad to be weak, if you are made strong. And we ask God for this too, that you may become perfect.

bwe@Galatians:1:2 @ All the Christian brothers who are with me and I, send greetings. To the churches in the province of Galatia:

bwe@Galatians:1:6 @ I am very much surprised. It is so soon, and you are leaving God who called you by the love of Christ. Instead you are listening to another good news.

bwe@Galatians:1:7 @ There is really no other good news. But some people are making you think wrong things. They want to change the good news of Christ.

bwe@Galatians:1:8 @ We are wrong if we tell you a different kind of good news. Even an angel from heaven is wrong to tell you something different. Let a punishment from God come upon us if we tell you a different kind of good news.

bwe@Galatians:1:16 @ God wanted to show his Son to me so that I might tell people who are not Jews about him. I did not go and ask any other person about the good news.

bwe@Galatians:2:2 @ God showed me that I should go. And I told them about the good news which I tell to people who are not Jews. I told those who seemed to be church leaders when I was alone with them. I did not want my work to come to nothing-the work I had done or the work I was doing.

bwe@Galatians:2:7 @ No, the leaders saw that God called me to take the good news to those who are not circumcised <FI>not Jews<Fi>, just as he called Peter to take the good news to those who are circumcised <FI>Jews<Fi>.

bwe@Galatians:2:8 @ The same God who made Peter an apostle to the Jews made me an apostle to those who are not Jews.

bwe@Galatians:2:14 @ But I saw they were not doing right. They were not obeying the true teaching of the good news. So I said to Peter in front of them all, You are a Jew. But you live the way people do who are not Jews. How then can you force those who are not Jews to live the way the Jews do?

bwe@Galatians:2:15 @ We ourselves were born Jews. We are not of those who still follow wrong ways, those who are not Jews.

bwe@Galatians:2:16 @ Yet we know that God does not call a man good because he tries to obey the law of the Jews. But we know that God puts a man right because he believes in Jesus Christ. So we also believed in Jesus Christ. And we are put right with God because we believe in Christ and not because we obey the law. No person will ever be called good by God just because he tries to obey the law of the Jews.

bwe@Galatians:3:3 @ Have you no sense at all? You began living your new life by the power of the Spirit. And are you now trying to finish living it by your own power <FI>to keep the law<Fi>?

bwe@Galatians:3:7 @ You see then, the people who believe God are children of Abraham.

bwe@Galatians:3:8 @ The holy writings say that he will put people right with himself if they believe him, even those who are not Jews. It was written down before God did it. The holy writings told the good news to Abraham ahead of time. It said, God will make you a blessing to all nations and people.

bwe@Galatians:3:9 @ Abraham believed God and was blessed. And so those who believe God are blessed too, along with him.

bwe@Galatians:3:10 @ A curse is on all people who are trying to become good by obeying the law. The holy writings say, Everyone is cursed who does not always obey everything that is written in the book of the law and do it.

bwe@Galatians:3:11 @ Now, you can see this. No man is called a good man by God because he obeys the law. The holy writings say, Those who are right with God shall live by faith.

bwe@Galatians:3:14 @ Christ Jesus did this so that those who are not Jews will have the blessing which Abraham had. He did this so that when we believe, we will receive the Spirit who was promised to us.

bwe@Galatians:3:18 @ Do we get what God has promised us by obeying the law? If we do, then we are not getting it by his promise. But God gave it to Abraham by his promise.

bwe@Galatians:3:26 @ You are all Gods children because you have believed in Christ Jesus.

bwe@Galatians:3:28 @ There is no longer any difference between a Jew and one who is not a Jew; between a slave and a free man; between a man and a woman. When you are in the body of Christ Jesus, you are all alike.

bwe@Galatians:3:29 @ If you belong to Christ, you are Abrahams children. And if you are Abrahams children, you will receive the blessing that God has promised.

bwe@Galatians:4:2 @ He still has people who take care of him and he must obey them until the time set by his father.

bwe@Galatians:4:6 @ Because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into your hearts. The Spirit calls out, Father!

bwe@Galatians:4:7 @ So then, because of what God has done, you are no longer a slave but you are a son. And because you are a son, you will receive what he promised.

bwe@Galatians:4:8 @ At first, you did not know God. At that time you obeyed things which are not real gods.

bwe@Galatians:4:9 @ But now you know God. That is, God knows you. Then why do you turn to things that are weak and can do no good? Do you want to obey them again?

bwe@Galatians:4:15 @ Why are you not happy any more? I saw myself that you would have taken out your own eyes and given them to me if you could do such a thing.

bwe@Galatians:4:17 @ Other people are trying hard to get you on their side. But they do not mean to help you. They want to get you away from Christ so that you will listen to them.

bwe@Galatians:4:24 @ These things have another meaning. These two women are like two agreements. One agreement came from Mount Sinai. The children are born slaves. That agreement is like Hagar.

bwe@Galatians:4:25 @ So Hagar means Mount Sinai in the country of Arabia. She is like the city of Jerusalem today, because Jerusalem is a slave and her children are too.

bwe@Galatians:4:28 @ My brothers, we are like Isaac. We are born because God made a promise.

bwe@Galatians:4:31 @ So, my brothers, we are not the children of the slave woman, but we are children of the free woman.

bwe@Galatians:5:4 @ Some of you are trying to obey the law, so that God will call you good. If you do this, you have been cut off from Christ. You have lost the blessing of God.

bwe@Galatians:5:11 @ My brothers, am I still telling people to be circumcised? If I am, why are people still troubling me? If it were true, the cross of Christ, which they do not like, has lost its power.

bwe@Galatians:5:12 @ These teachers are troubling your minds. How I wish they would cut themselves off!

bwe@Galatians:5:15 @ But if you bite and chew each other, be careful, or you will be killed by each other.

bwe@Galatians:5:17 @ People want to do wrong things that the Spirit does not want them to do. And the Spirit wants people to do things they do not want to do. The Spirit and the wrong things you want to do are against each other, so that you do not do what you yourself want to do.

bwe@Galatians:5:19 @ It is easy to see the wrong things people want to do. Both married people and those who are not married commit adultery. People make themselves unclean because of their wrong use of sex. They do things they should be ashamed of doing.

bwe@Galatians:5:20 @ They worship idols. They use witch-power. They hate. They quarrel. They are jealous. They get angry. They want their own way. They do not agree together and they join different groups against each other.

bwe@Galatians:5:22 @ But these are the things which the Spirit wants you to show: love, joy, peace, patience, being kind, being good, being true, being gentle, and keeping the body under control. There is no law that says, These things are wrong.

bwe@Galatians:6:1 @ My brothers, perhaps a man has done something wrong. If so, you who are strong in the Spirit must help him to do the right thing again. Help him in a gentle way. Take care yourself, that you are not tried and will want to do wrong.

bwe@Galatians:6:6 @ People are taught the word of God. They should give some of all the good things they have to those who teach them.

bwe@Galatians:6:10 @ So then, when we can, we should do good to all people. But most of all, we should do it to those who are in Gods family.

bwe@Galatians:6:13 @ Even those who are circumcised do not obey the law. But they want you to be circumcised. Then they can be proud that they made you do it.

bwe@Galatians:6:16 @ May all who live by this rule have peace. And may God bless them. They are the true people of Israel and they belong to God.

bwe@Ephesians:1:5 @ Because he loved us, he planned that we should be his own children. It is through Jesus Christ that we are Gods children. That is the way God wanted it to be.

bwe@Ephesians:1:11 @ In and through Christ we will have a share in all that belongs to him. Long ago God chose us for this. And he makes things happen that he wants to do.

bwe@Ephesians:1:14 @ The Holy Spirit is the first part of what we are to receive from God. This proves that we will get all God has promised. Some day we shall have them all. Praise God! He is very great and wonderful. 15,

bwe@Ephesians:2:19 @ So then you are no longer strangers or people far away. But you live with Gods people and belong to Gods family.

bwe@Ephesians:2:20 @ Gods family is like a house and you are part of the building. The apostles and prophets are like the lower walls of the house and you are the building on this foundation. Jesus Christ is the big stone at the corner.

bwe@Ephesians:2:22 @ You too are a part of this house. God himself lives in this house by his Spirit.

bwe@Ephesians:3:1 @ That is why I, Paul, am a prisoner who belongs to Jesus Christ. It is for the sake of you people who are not Jews.

bwe@Ephesians:3:6 @ This is Gods plan. Those who are not Jews will also share in the blessings of God. They also are a part of the body of Jesus Christ. They also will receive the things God has promised in Jesus Christ through the good news.

bwe@Ephesians:3:8 @ I am less than the least of all Gods people, and yet he blessed me. It is my work to tell those who are not Jews about the wonderful blessings of Christ. There are so many that we cannot know them all.

bwe@Ephesians:3:12 @ In Christ we are not to be afraid to come to God. We are sure we can come because we believe in Christ.

bwe@Ephesians:4:11 @ The gifts he gave are these: some are to be apostles; some prophets; some evangelists; some pastors and teachers.

bwe@Ephesians:4:12 @ These gifts are to make Gods people better able to do their work for him and to make the body of Christ become stronger.

bwe@Ephesians:4:13 @ The gifts are given so that we will all believe the one way and all know the Son of God. They are given so that we will be really grown-up Christians, like Christ himself.

bwe@Ephesians:4:14 @ The body of Christ must grow so that we will no longer be like children. We are like children when we are pushed this way and that way. We change our minds every time people bring a different teaching. Some teachers teach the lies of men and fool people so that they believe wrong things.

bwe@Ephesians:4:18 @ Their minds are dark. They are far away from Gods life because they do not know the truth. They have no love in their hearts.

bwe@Ephesians:4:25 @ So stop telling lies. Tell the truth to each other. We all are parts of the same body.

bwe@Ephesians:4:26 @ When you are angry, do not do anything wrong. And do not stay angry after the sun goes down.

bwe@Ephesians:5:1 @ So try to be like God, because you are his own dear children.

bwe@Ephesians:5:5 @ You know this. There are people who use sex wrongly, and who are always wanting what others have. No such a person has any place in the kingdom of Christ and of God. He is worshipping an idol.

bwe@Ephesians:5:11 @ Have no part in the empty things people do in the dark. Show them that they are wrong.

bwe@Ephesians:5:14 @ So it is said, Wake up, you who are asleep! Rise from death. And Christ will give you light.

bwe@Ephesians:5:15 @ Take care how you live. Do not live like people who are not wise, but live like people who are wise.

bwe@Ephesians:5:27 @ He gave his life for the church so that one day he can look at the church and see that the people are great and wonderful. The people of the church must have no dirty spot or wrinkle or any thing like that. But they are to be holy and good.

bwe@Ephesians:5:29 @ No one ever hated his own body. But he feeds it and takes care of it.

bwe@Ephesians:5:30 @ In the same way Christ takes care of the church because we are parts of his body.

bwe@Ephesians:6:1 @ Children, obey your parents as the Lord wants you to. This is the right thing to do. 2,

bwe@Ephesians:6:8 @ And you who are bosses, be good to your servants also. Do not talk loud, hard words to them. Remember that both their Lord and yours is in heaven. He does not love one person more than another.

bwe@Ephesians:6:11 @ We are not fighting against people of flesh and blood. But we are fighting against rulers and powers whom we cannot see. We are fighting against those who control the darkness of this world, and against bad spirits who have power in the air.

bwe@Ephesians:6:17 @ Always talk to God in the Spirit. Talk to him about everything and ask him for what you need. Put your mind on what you are saying, asking God to help all his people.

bwe@Philippians:1:1 @ We, Paul and Timothy, are servants of Christ Jesus. We send greetings to all of Gods people who belong to Christ Jesus and who live in the city of Philippi. We send greetings to the leaders of the church people and those who have been chosen to help them.

bwe@Philippians:1:5 @ I thank God for the joy we share in telling the good news from the very first day until now.

bwe@Philippians:1:7 @ I have a right to feel this way about you all because I love you very much. God is good to me and you all share in this goodness. You share in my troubles in prison. You share in my work of staying true to the good news of Jesus.

bwe@Philippians:1:10 @ When I talk to God I ask that you may have more and more love. I ask him that you will also know and understand, so that you will be able to see what things are right. I want you to be clean with nothing wrong in you when Jesus Christ comes back.

bwe@Philippians:1:14 @ Because I am in prison, most of my Christian brothers are stronger for the Lord. They are strong in the faith now and they are not afraid to tell Gods good news about Jesus Christ.

bwe@Philippians:1:15 @ Some of them tell about Christ because they are jealous. They want to prove they are better than me. Some of them tell about Christ because they want to help me.

bwe@Philippians:1:16 @ The first ones do it because they want to prove they are better than I am. They do not have a good reason. But they think they will make trouble for me while I am in prison.

bwe@Philippians:1:28 @ Do not fear in any way those who are working against you. It is God who shows them they are lost and you are saved.

bwe@Philippians:2:1 @ Does Christ speak to you? Does love call to you? Do you have a part in the Holy Spirit? Do you have any love and care for others?

bwe@Philippians:2:3 @ Do not try to prove you are better than others. Do not be proud of yourselves, but be humble. Think of other people as being better than yourselves.

bwe@Philippians:3:2 @ Watch out for those teachers who are like dogs. Watch out for those teachers who do wrong things. And watch out for those teachers who want you to have the mark of a Jew cut in your bodies.

bwe@Philippians:3:3 @ We have Gods Spirit and we worship God in the Spirit. So we are the people who have the mark of God. Christ Jesus is our reason for being joyful. We do not trust in having a mark cut in our bodies.

bwe@Philippians:3:5 @ I had the mark of a Jew cut in my body when I was eight days old. I was born of the people of Israel. I belong to the family of Benjamin, so I was born a true Jew. I was a Pharisee, so I obeyed the Jewish law very carefully.

bwe@Philippians:3:15 @ All of us who are grown-up Christians should feel this way. And if you do not think this way, God will show you the right way.

bwe@Philippians:3:20 @ But we belong to heaven. And we are waiting for the Saviour to come from heaven. He is the Lord Jesus Christ.

bwe@Philippians:4:1 @ And so, my brothers, I love you and want very much to be with you. I am very happy about you. And you are like a prize I have won in a race. My dear people, keep on standing firm and strong in the Lord.

bwe@Philippians:4:3 @ I beg you, my real helper, to help these women. They worked hard with me in telling the good news. Clement and my other helpers worked hard with me too. Their names are in Gods Book of Life. Always be glad for what the Lord has done. I will say it again, be glad.

bwe@Philippians:4:7 @ Here, my brothers, are some things I want you to think about. Think about things that are true, honest, right, clean and pure, things that are lovely, and things that are good to talk about. If they are good, and if they bring praise to God, think about these things.

bwe@Philippians:4:11 @ I know how to live when I am poor, and I know how to live when I am rich. No matter how things are, I have learned how to live: when I have plenty of food, or when I am hungry; when I have more things than I need, and when I do not have enough.

bwe@Philippians:4:20 @ Please give my greetings to every one who belongs to Christ Jesus. The Christian brothers who are with me greet you.

bwe@Colossians:1:2 @ Timothy our brother, and I are writing this letter to Gods people, the Christian brothers in the city of Colossae. May the kindness of God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ bless you and give you peace.

bwe@Colossians:1:5 @ And also, you are looking ahead to what you will have in heaven. You have heard about it already when the good news was told to you.

bwe@Colossians:1:7 @ Epaphras taught you the truth. He is Christs servant, as we are also, and we love him. He is a good worker to help you.

bwe@Colossians:1:14 @ Because of his Son, we are set free and the wrong things we have done are forgiven.

bwe@Colossians:1:24 @ And now, even though I suffer for you, I am happy. There are still some things for Christ to suffer in his body, which is the church. So I am glad to take my share of his suffering in my body.

bwe@Colossians:1:27 @ He wanted them to know that his plan is very great and wonderful for those who are not Jews. And this plan is that Christ is in you! He is your hope for all the wonderful things that are to come.

bwe@Colossians:1:28 @ We tell about him. We tell everyone to be careful to live in the right way. We teach everyone all he needs to know. We do this so that we can bring everyone before God and he will be grown up in the things of Christ.

bwe@Colossians:2:1 @ I want you to know how much I care for you and those in the city of Laodicea, and even all those who have never seen me.

bwe@Colossians:2:3 @ All the wonderful things there are to know about the plan are found in Christ.

bwe@Colossians:2:8 @ Do not let anyone fool you by his wise words. They are not true. They are what men say. They are the teachings of this world and not what Christ says.

bwe@Colossians:2:10 @ And you, too, have everything when you are in him. He rules over every power and ruler.

bwe@Colossians:2:16 @ So do not let anyone say you are wrong about what you eat or drink, or about a feast, or a special holy day or a Sabbath day.

bwe@Colossians:2:17 @ They are like a shadow of what is to come. But Christ is the body that makes the shadow.

bwe@Colossians:2:18 @ Do not let anyone tell you that you are wrong and that to be humble you must worship angels. He talks about things he has not seen. He is very proud, but he has nothing to be proud of, because his thoughts come from his own mind.

bwe@Colossians:2:22 @ All such things are gone as soon as they are used. These are laws made and taught by men.

bwe@Colossians:2:23 @ These laws look as if they are good laws. They make a show of doing things for God. They make people humble themselves in some way. They make people control their bodies in certain ways. But they have no power to keep people from doing all the wrong things they want to do.

bwe@Colossians:3:1 @ Were you raised from death with Christ? Then look for the things which are in heaven. There Christ is sitting at the right hand of God.

bwe@Colossians:3:2 @ Think about the things that are in heaven, not about things that are on earth.

bwe@Colossians:3:5 @ So then, put to death those things of this world which are in you. I mean these things: wrong sex, things that are not clean, a heart that is burning to do wrong things, wanting what is wrong, and wanting to have what other people have. This last one is like worshipping an idol.

bwe@Colossians:3:6 @ They are things that make God angry.

bwe@Colossians:3:12 @ You are chosen by God. He loves you and has made you holy. So then, care for one another. Be kind. Do not be proud. Be humble. Be patient.

bwe@Colossians:3:15 @ Hold on to the peace of God which is in your hearts. You were called to have peace because you are all like one body. Be thankful.

bwe@Colossians:3:20 @ Children, obey your parents in everything. This pleases the Lord.

bwe@Colossians:3:24 @ You know you will get pay from the Lord, for you are the servants of the Lord Christ.

bwe@Colossians:4:1 @ You who are a boss, do what is right to your servants. You know that you also have a Master in heaven.

bwe@Colossians:4:2 @ Always take time to talk to God. Put your mind on what you are saying. And thank God for what he has done.

bwe@Colossians:4:5 @ Act the right way to people who are not Christians. Make good use of your time.

bwe@Colossians:4:10 @ Here are the people who send you greetings: Aristarchus, who is in prison with me, and Mark, a cousin of Barnabas. I have already told you to welcome him if he comes to you.

bwe@Colossians:4:11 @ Jesus, whose other name is Justus, also sends greetings. These men are the only Jews who are doing Gods work with me. And they have comforted me much.

bwe@1Thessalonians:1:2 @ You do good things because you believe. You work very hard because you have love in your hearts. You are patient because you have hope in our Lord Jesus Christ. We remember these things when we talk to God our Father about you.

bwe@1Thessalonians:2:6 @ And we did not ask you or anybody else to help us or to praise us. Of course, we are apostles of Christ, and we had the right to do so.

bwe@1Thessalonians:2:7 @ But we were kind when we were with you. We were like a woman taking care of her own children.

bwe@1Thessalonians:2:15 @ The Jewish leaders killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets. And they drove us out of their country. They do not please God and they are against all other people.

bwe@1Thessalonians:2:16 @ They try to stop us from talking to those people who are not Jews. They do not want them to be saved. So they are always doing wrong things. And now at last, God has become very angry with them. have been away from you for a short time in body, but not in heart. We wanted very much to see you face to face, and we tried hard to come.

bwe@1Thessalonians:2:19 @ You are ones of whom we are proud. You make us happy.

bwe@1Thessalonians:3:6 @ But now Timothy has come back to us from you. He has brought us the good news that you are still believing and have love in your hearts. He has told us that you always remember us. He also told us that you want to see us, just as we want to see you.

bwe@1Thessalonians:3:8 @ It gives us new life now to know that you are standing strong in the Lord.

bwe@1Thessalonians:3:9 @ We cannot thank God enough for you. We are very happy about you as we talk to God.

bwe@1Thessalonians:4:1 @ And now, brothers, here is what we ask you to do. We beg you in the name of the Lord Jesus. We taught you how to live and to please God. You are living that way now, and we want you to do so more and more.

bwe@1Thessalonians:4:5 @ Do not have sex with a person you are not married to. Control your strong feelings. Do not act like the people who do not know God.

bwe@1Thessalonians:4:10 @ And you do love all the Christian brothers who are in the whole country of Macedonia. But we beg you, brothers, love them more and more.

bwe@1Thessalonians:4:14 @ We tell you what the Lord said. We who are still alive when the Lord comes, will not go ahead of those who have died.

bwe@1Thessalonians:4:16 @ Then we who are still alive on earth will be caught up together with those who were dead. We will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And then we will be with the Lord forever!

bwe@1Thessalonians:5:3 @ When people are saying, Everything is quiet and safe, they will be destroyed. It will all happen very quickly. And there will be no way out. It will be like the pain that a woman has when a child is born.

bwe@1Thessalonians:5:4 @ But you, my brothers, are not in the dark. That day should not surprise you like a person who comes to steal.

bwe@1Thessalonians:5:9 @ He died for us so that, if we are alive or dead, we will live with him.

bwe@1Thessalonians:5:10 @ So comfort and strengthen one another, just as you are doing. you to respect those who are working among you. They are your leaders in the Lords work, and they tell you what you should do.

bwe@1Thessalonians:5:11 @ My brothers, we beg you, tell this to people who do not do what they should do. Talk to those who fear, and say something that will make them strong. Help those who are weak. Be patient with all people.

bwe@1Thessalonians:5:20 @ May God himself, who gives peace, make you pure and clean. You are set apart and belong only to him. And may your spirit and soul and body all together be kept free from fault until our Lord Jesus Christ comes.

bwe@2Thessalonians:1:4 @ So we are proud of you. We tell the churches of God about you because you are standing strong and you keep on believing in God. Your troubles and hard times do not stop you.

bwe@2Thessalonians:1:5 @ This proves that God will judge right. And he will say that you are good enough for the kingdom of God because you suffer for it.

bwe@2Thessalonians:1:6 @ God will do what is right. He will give trouble to those who are troubling you.

bwe@2Thessalonians:1:7 @ And he will give rest to you who are having troubles, and to us also. He will give this rest when our Lord Jesus comes back from heaven. The Lord Jesus will come with his strong angels in flaming fire.

bwe@2Thessalonians:2:1 @ My brothers, we want to talk to you about the time when our Lord Jesus Christ comes again and we are taken to meet him.

bwe@2Thessalonians:2:9 @ The coming of the evil man is the work of Satan. He will come in great power with signs that are not true, and wonderful things.

bwe@2Thessalonians:2:10 @ And by his bad tricks he will fool people who are lost. They will not love the true message which would have saved them.

bwe@2Thessalonians:3:4 @ The Lord makes us feel sure about you. We are sure that you are doing, and will do, what we tell you to do.

bwe@2Thessalonians:3:11 @ We hear that some of you are lazy. You do not work, but you trouble other people.

bwe@1Timothy:1:2 @ Timothy, you are my true son because you believe the way I do. I ask God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord to show you love and kindness, and give you peace.

bwe@1Timothy:1:4 @ Tell them not to use stories that are not true, and long histories of names. These things often make people quarrel. These things do not make people believe and follow Gods way.

bwe@1Timothy:1:7 @ They want to teach the law. But they do not understand what they say. And they do not know what they are trying to prove.

bwe@1Timothy:1:9 @ He must understand that the law was not made for the man who lives right. It was made for those who do not want any laws over them, and for those who will not obey. It was made for those who do not respect God, and those who are bad people. It was made for those who do not respect anything that is holy or belongs to God. It was made for those who beat their fathers or mothers, and for those who kill people.

bwe@1Timothy:1:15 @ These are true words and everyone should believe them. Christ Jesus came into the world to save bad people. And I am the worst of all.

bwe@1Timothy:1:20 @ Hymenaeus and Alexander are among them. I have given them to Satan so that they will be punished and learn not to teach things that do not respect God.

bwe@1Timothy:2:7 @ I was chosen to tell about this and to be an apostle. I am telling the truth. I am not lying. I was chosen to teach people who are not Jews. I must teach them to believe and to know what is true.

bwe@1Timothy:3:1 @ These are true words. If a man wants to be a leader of the church people, he seeks a good thing.

bwe@1Timothy:3:5 @ If a man does not know how to lead his own family, how can he take care of the church of God?

bwe@1Timothy:3:7 @ People who are not church people must also speak well of a church leader, so that he will not fall into the devils trap.

bwe@1Timothy:4:2 @ Men will tell lies and make people believe they are something when they are not. These men will have made their hearts so hard that they will not know they are doing wrong.

bwe@1Timothy:4:9 @ These are true words and everyone should believe them.

bwe@1Timothy:4:12 @ Do not let anyone despise you because you are a young man. Show those who believe how they should live. Show them by the way you talk. Show them by the way you live. Show them by the way you love. Show them how to believe by the way you believe. Show them how to live a clean life by the way you live a clean life.

bwe@1Timothy:4:15 @ Take time to think about these things. Then everybody will see how well you are going ahead in your work.

bwe@1Timothy:4:16 @ Take care of yourself and what you teach. Keep on doing this. If you do, you will save yourself and those who listen to you.

bwe@1Timothy:5:3 @ Help widow women, whose husbands are dead, if they have no one to help them.

bwe@1Timothy:5:4 @ If they have children or grandchildren, they should learn that the first place to do Gods work is in the home to help their own family. They should help their parents because their parents have helped them. This will please God.

bwe@1Timothy:5:8 @ A man must care for his own people. At least he must care for his family. If he does not care for them, he shows that he does not believe in God. He is worse than one who has never believed.

bwe@1Timothy:5:10 @ People must speak well of the good works she has done. Has she brought up children? Has she been kind to strangers and cared for them in her house? Has she washed the feet of Gods people? Has she helped people who were in trouble? Has she done every kind of good thing to help people?

bwe@1Timothy:5:13 @ Not only that, but they also become lazy. They walk about going from house to house. Not only are they lazy but they talk too much and tell stories about people. They tell things they should not tell.

bwe@1Timothy:5:14 @ So I would like young women to marry again and have children. They should care for their homes. They should do nothing that would make the enemy say wrong things about them.

bwe@1Timothy:5:16 @ Do any Christians have in their families women whose husbands are dead? If they do, they should help them. The church people should not have to care for them. Then the church can help the women who have no one to help them.

bwe@1Timothy:5:23 @ Do not drink water only. But drink a little wine to help your stomach because you are sick so often.

bwe@1Timothy:5:24 @ The wrong things some men do can be seen clearly and show that they should be punished. But wrong things other people do are not seen until later.

bwe@1Timothy:5:25 @ So also, the good things are seen clearly. Even when they are not seen at first, they will be seen later.

bwe@1Timothy:6:2 @ Those who work for Christian masters should not take life easy just because the person they work for is a Christian. They should work all the better because they are loved by them. Teach these things and tell people to do them.

bwe@1Timothy:6:4 @ If there is such a person, he is full of pride. He knows nothing. He wants to quarrel and talk about words. Such things make people jealous of each other. They think wrong thoughts about each other which are not true.

bwe@1Timothy:6:5 @ They quarrel. The minds of these men are bad. They do not know what is true. They think that worshipping God makes people rich. Keep away from such people.

bwe@1Timothy:6:6 @ It is true that people are much better off if they live to please God and if they are satisfied.

bwe@1Timothy:6:9 @ People who want to be rich have trouble. They get caught in a trap. They want many foolish things which are wrong for them. Because of this, men are lost and punished for ever.

bwe@1Timothy:6:18 @ Tell the rich people to do good. Tell them to do many good things. Tell them to give to other people, and to help those who are in need.

bwe@1Timothy:6:20 @ Timothy, take good care of what has been given to you. Some teachers say they know many things, but these things are not true. Do not teach these foolish things that do not come from God. Do not teach these things that do not agree together.

bwe@2Timothy:1:2 @ Timothy, you are my son and I love you very much. May God the Father, and Christ Jesus our Lord, bless you. May they be kind to you and give you peace.

bwe@2Timothy:1:11 @ I have been chosen to tell that good news. I have been chosen to go out and teach it to those who are not Jews.

bwe@2Timothy:1:15 @ You know that all the men who live in the country of Asia Minor have left me. Phygellus and Hermogenes are among them.

bwe@2Timothy:2:11 @ These are true words: If we died with Christ, we shall also live with him.

bwe@2Timothy:2:15 @ Try to show God that you are a good worker. Do nothing you would be ashamed of. Tell the true message in the right way.

bwe@2Timothy:2:17 @ Their teaching will spread like bad sickness. Hymenaeus and Philetus are two like that.

bwe@2Timothy:2:18 @ These men say that the time when people are raised from death is past already. That is not true. And what they say is making some people stop believing.

bwe@2Timothy:2:19 @ But the truth of God stands strong. It cannot change. These words are sure: The Lord knows the people who belong to him and, Let all those who use the name of the Lord stop their wrong ways.

bwe@2Timothy:2:20 @ In a large house there are many pots. They are not all made of gold and silver. Some are made of wood, and some of earth. Some are used for fine things and some are used for things that are not so fine.

bwe@2Timothy:2:25 @ When he corrects those who are against him, he must do it in a gentle way. It may be that God will turn their hearts to know what is true.

bwe@2Timothy:3:2 @ People will love themselves. They will love money. They will talk about themselves and be proud. They will say wrong things about people. They will not obey their parents. They will not be thankful. They will not keep anything holy.

bwe@2Timothy:3:4 @ They cannot be trusted. They will act quickly, without thinking. They are proud of themselves. They love to have fun more than they love God.

bwe@2Timothy:3:6 @ They are the kind who go quietly into peoples houses. There they get foolish women to believe them. These women know that they have done many wrong things. And they want to do many kinds of wrong things.

bwe@2Timothy:3:7 @ They are always trying to learn, but never able to find out what is really true.

bwe@2Timothy:3:8 @ Jannes and Jambres were two men who were very much against Moses. In the same way, these men I am talking about are against what is true. They are men who have wrong thoughts in their minds. They do not believe.

bwe@2Timothy:3:9 @ But these men will not get very far. Everyone will see that they are wrong, just as people saw that Jannes and Jambres were wrong.

bwe@2Timothy:3:14 @ But you, Timothy, must keep on doing the things you have learned. You know they are right. You know who taught them to you.

bwe@2Timothy:3:16 @ All that is written in the holy writings comes from the Spirit of God. The holy writings are good for these things: to teach people, to show them when they are wrong, to make them see what is right, to teach them to do what is right.

bwe@2Timothy:4:1 @ I say this before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge people who are living and people who are dead. I say this to you because he will come back and rule over all.

bwe@2Timothy:4:2 @ Tell people the word of God. Be ready to do it at any time. Show people they are wrong and talk to them about it. Tell them what they should do. Be very patient with them and teach them in many ways.

bwe@2Timothy:4:17 @ But the Lord was with me. He gave me strength to tell the message. All those who are not Jews heard it. And I was saved out of the mouth of the lion.

bwe@Titus:1:4 @ Titus, I send greetings to you. You are my true son because you believe the same way I do. May God the Father and Christ Jesus our Saviour bless you, and be kind to you, and give you peace. of Crete. I want you to finish putting things in order. And I want you to choose leaders among the church people in every city as I told you to do.

bwe@Titus:1:9 @ There are many people who do not obey Gods truth. They talk about things that do no good, and they fool people by it. The Jewish leaders do this very much.

bwe@Titus:1:11 @ One of their own prophets said, The people of Crete are always telling lies. They are like wild, bad animals. They are lazy and want to eat too much.

bwe@Titus:1:12 @ What he said is true. You must tell them that they are wrong. Tell them to stop it. They must believe what is true.

bwe@Titus:1:14 @ All things are clean to those who have a clean mind. But nothing is clean to those who do wrong things and do not believe. Their minds and their hearts are full of wrong things.

bwe@Titus:2:5 @ They must teach young women to have good sense, to live a clean life, to care for their homes, to be kind, and to obey their husbands. Then people cannot say wrong things about Gods word.

bwe@Titus:2:7 @ Titus, show them what they should do in all matters by the good things you do. Do not mix your teaching with things that are not true. Teach in such a way that people will respect you.

bwe@Titus:2:11 @ Gods loving kindness has come. It is through that blessing that all men are saved.

bwe@Titus:2:12 @ It teaches us to say no to the things that are not true of God, and to the things of this world. It teaches us to use good sense, to do what is right, and to please God while we live in this world.

bwe@Titus:2:13 @ All this is while we wait and hope to see the one who brings blessing. We are waiting for our great God to come in Jesus Christ. He is the One who will save us. He is wonderful!

bwe@Titus:2:15 @ Talk about these things. Tell people they must do them. And use all your power to stop people if they are doing wrong. Do not let anyone despise you.

bwe@Titus:3:8 @ These are true words. And I want you to tell the people these things. Then those who have believed God will try to do good things. These things are right and help people.

bwe@Titus:3:9 @ Have nothing to do with: foolish quarrels; lists of people who lived long ago; those who make trouble and argue about the law. These things do not help people and are good for nothing.

bwe@Titus:3:11 @ You know that such people are wrong and what they do is wrong. They themselves know that they are wrong. Tychicus to you, do your best to come to me at the city of Nicopolis. I have planned to stay there while it is the cold time of the year.

bwe@Titus:3:13 @ Our people should learn to spend their time in doing good things to help people who are poor. In that way, our people will not waste their time. Greet those who believe as we do and who love us. God bless you all.

bwe@Philemon:1:2 @ We also send greetings to our sister Apphia; to Archippus who is worker in Gods army as we are; and to the people who meet as a church in your house.

bwe@Philemon:1:22 @ At the same time, please make a place ready for me to stay. I know you are asking God to set me free, so I believe he will let me come to see you.

bwe@Philemon:1:24 @ Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke are working with me. They all send greetings too.

bwe@Hebrews:1:5 @ Did God ever say to any of the angels, You are my Son, and I am your Father today? Did God ever say to an angel, I will be your Father and you will be my Son?

bwe@Hebrews:1:9 @ You have loved what is good and you have hated what is wrong. That is why God has poured out happiness on you, more than on those who are with you.

bwe@Hebrews:1:12 @ You will fold up the world and the sky as if they were a blanket. They will not stay as they are now. But you will always be as you are now. The years of your life will never end.

bwe@Hebrews:1:14 @ Are not all the angels spirits that help? They are sent out to help the people who will be saved.

bwe@Hebrews:2:1 @ That is why we must listen very carefully to the things we have heard. We must never forget them.

bwe@Hebrews:2:5 @ God did not put the next world under angels for them to rule over. That is the world we are talking about.

bwe@Hebrews:2:6 @ In one place the holy writings say, What is man and why do you think about him? What is the Son of a Man and why do you care about him?

bwe@Hebrews:2:11 @ Jesus, who makes people holy, and those who are made holy, all have one Father in heaven. That is why Jesus is not ashamed to call them his brothers.

bwe@Hebrews:2:18 @ He had a very hard time when he was tested. But because he was tested, he is able to help people who are tested.

bwe@Hebrews:3:1 @ My brothers, you are holy. You are also called to go to heaven. Take time to think carefully about Jesus. God sent him. He is the high priest we believe in.

bwe@Hebrews:3:6 @ But Jesus Christ was true as a Son over Gods house. We are Gods house if we keep on believing and telling others what we hope to have.

bwe@Hebrews:3:10 @ So I was very angry with the people of that time. I said, "Their minds are always dark. They have not known my ways."

bwe@Hebrews:3:12 @ My brothers, take care that not one of you has a heart that does not believe. Such a heart will take you away from the living God.

bwe@Hebrews:4:1 @ We still have Gods promise that people will go into his resting place. So let us take care that not one of you will be kept out.

bwe@Hebrews:4:11 @ So let us do our best to go into that resting place. Those people died in the wilderness because they did not believe. So let us take care that the same thing does not happen to one of us.

bwe@Hebrews:4:12 @ Gods word is living and full of power. It is more sharp than any sword that cuts on both sides. What God says cuts through and divides the mind and spirit. It cuts through and divides the place where the bones are joined, and the part inside the bone. What God says is able to judge the things people think and plan in their hearts.

bwe@Hebrews:4:15 @ We have a high priest who can feel with us when we are weak. He has been tested in every way, just as we are. But he did not do anything wrong.

bwe@Hebrews:5:2 @ Such a high priest can be kind to people who do not know what is right and who do wrong. He knows how to share in the suffering of others because he himself is weak.

bwe@Hebrews:5:5 @ So Christ did not choose himself to be a high priest. But he was chosen by the One who said to him, You are my Son, and I am your Father today.

bwe@Hebrews:5:6 @ In another place in the holy writings God said, You are a priest for ever like Melchizedek.

bwe@Hebrews:5:11 @ We have many things to say about him. But they are hard to explain to you. You are so slow to understand what we tell you.

bwe@Hebrews:5:13 @ Anyone who takes milk does not understand the message about which things are right.

bwe@Hebrews:5:14 @ But meat is for people who are grown up. It is for people who have trained their minds to know the difference between what is good and what is bad.

bwe@Hebrews:6:1 @ So, let us leave behind the first teachings about Christ. And let us go on to things that are grown up. We must not go back to the beginning again and talk about turning away from doing things that bring death to us. We must not go back again and talk about believing in God. Let us go forward.

bwe@Hebrews:6:6 @ If people who were like that leave their faith in Christ, they cannot come to God again. They themselves nail Gods Son up on the cross again. They are holding him up to shame before everyone.

bwe@Hebrews:6:7 @ The ground drinks the water that often rains on it. It makes plants grow for the people who take care of it. And God blesses that ground.

bwe@Hebrews:6:9 @ This is the way we talk. But dear people, we are sure that better things are true about you. Yes, you show all the good ways of people who have been saved from their wrong ways.

bwe@Hebrews:6:10 @ God does what is right. He will not forget your work and the love you have shown for him. You have helped Gods people and you are still helping them.

bwe@Hebrews:6:16 @ When men make a promise, they ask someone to hear it who is greater than they are. When someone great has heard a promise, it stops any quarrel about it.

bwe@Hebrews:7:3 @ He has no father or mother. The names of the family from which he comes are not written down. It is not written down that he was born or that he died. But, like the Son of God, he stays on being a priest for ever.

bwe@Hebrews:7:5 @ The sons of Levi, who are priests, have the right by law to take a tenth of what the people have. These people are their own brothers. They also are Abrahams children.

bwe@Hebrews:7:8 @ Here, priests take their tenth, but they are people who will die one day. But Melchizedek, who took his tenth, never dies. The holy writings say it is so.

bwe@Hebrews:7:13 @ The one we are talking about belonged to another tribe. No man from his tribe ever made sacrifices in Gods house.

bwe@Hebrews:7:17 @ This is what the holy writings say about him, You are a priest for ever, like Melchizedek.

bwe@Hebrews:7:21 @ But this man was made priest by Gods strong promise. God said to him, The Lord has made a strong promise, and he will not change it. "You are a priest for ever."

bwe@Hebrews:7:28 @ The law makes men high priests, and they are weak. But the word of Gods promise came after the law. It makes his Son high priest for ever, and he is all right.

bwe@Hebrews:8:1 @ The real point of what we are saying is this. We now have a high priest who sits beside Gods throne or chief chair in heaven.

bwe@Hebrews:8:4 @ If he were still on earth, he would not be a priest. There are priests on earth already who offer gifts the way the law says.

bwe@Hebrews:9:9 @ This first part is a picture of the time we are in now. In it gifts and sacrifices are made to God. But they cannot make a persons heart clean to worship God.

bwe@Hebrews:9:10 @ These are only things to eat and drink and different kinds of washings. They are laws made for the body until the time when everything is made right again.

bwe@Hebrews:9:15 @ That is why he is the middle man of a new agreement. He died and paid for the wrong things that were done under the first agreement. Because he is a middle man, those people who are called by God can have what he promised. This will belong to them for ever.

bwe@Hebrews:9:23 @ These things on earth show in a little way what things in heaven are like. The things on earth had to be cleaned by the blood of animals. But the things in heaven had to be cleaned with better sacrifices than these.

bwe@Hebrews:9:28 @ So Christ gave himself as a sacrifice only once. He took on himself the wrong things many people have done. He will come a second time. But he will not come to do anything about the wrong things people have done. He will come to save those who are looking and waiting for him.

bwe@Hebrews:10:1 @ The law can show only a little about the good things that are coming. It cannot show the good things themselves. People come to worship God. But the law can never make them all right by the same sacrifices that are brought every year.

bwe@Hebrews:10:6 @ Animals that are burned for sacrifices, and animals killed to clean away the wrong things that people do, did not satisfy you.

bwe@Hebrews:10:8 @ First he said, You did not want sacrifices and gifts, and animals that are given to be burned as sacrifices, and animals killed to clean away peoples wrong ways. You did not like them. These sacrifices are made to obey the law.

bwe@Hebrews:10:13 @ Since then, he is waiting till his enemies are put under him.

bwe@Hebrews:10:14 @ By one sacrifice Christ has made right for ever all those people who are being made holy.

bwe@Hebrews:10:27 @ But we will be judged, and that makes us fear. Gods anger will be like a very hot fire that will burn up those who are against him.

bwe@Hebrews:10:34 @ You shared in the troubles of those who were in prison. When your things were taken from you, you were happy. You knew that you had better things in heaven, things that would always belong to you.

bwe@Hebrews:10:39 @ We are not the people who turn back and so are lost. But we are people who believe, and so we are saved.

bwe@Hebrews:11:12 @ Abraham was too old to be a father, but a great nation was born from that one man. They are as many as the stars in the sky and as the sands on the seaside. No man can count them.

bwe@Hebrews:11:14 @ People who say such things mean they are looking for a country which will be their own.

bwe@Hebrews:12:2 @ We must keep our eyes on Jesus. He believed from first to last. What was put in front of him made him glad, so he did not give up when the people nailed him on a cross. He did not care about the shame. And now he is sitting beside God.

bwe@Hebrews:12:7 @ Do not give up when you are punished. God is treating you like sons. Is there a son who has never been punished by his father?

bwe@Hebrews:12:8 @ You are punished like the other children in the family. If you are not, you do not belong to the family as the other children do.

bwe@Hebrews:12:11 @ At the time a person is punished, he is not glad. He is sad. But after it is over, there is peace. Then those who are trained by it do what is right.

bwe@Hebrews:12:12 @ So lift up your hands that are hanging down. Make your weak knees strong.

bwe@Hebrews:12:15 @ Take care that no one loses Gods blessing. Take care so that no angry feeling starts to grow in anyone. It will make trouble and many people will become bad.

bwe@Hebrews:12:16 @ Take care that no one takes part in wrong ways of using sex. And take care that no one is like Esau and forgets God. He was the older son. But he sold all that he would get from his father. He sold it for a little food.

bwe@Hebrews:12:23 @ You have come to the church people. They are Gods first sons, and their names are written in heaven. You have come to God who is the judge of all people. You have come to the spirits of good people who have been made right.

bwe@Hebrews:12:25 @ Take care that you listen to God who is talking now. The people were punished when they would not listen to the One who talked on earth. And we will be punished much worse if we will not listen to the One who talks from heaven.

bwe@Hebrews:12:27 @ The words, Only once more mean that the things that are shaken will be taken away. They are things that were made. The things which are not shaken will stay.

bwe@Hebrews:13:2 @ Take strangers to your home and care for them. Some people who have done this found out the strangers were angels.

bwe@Hebrews:13:3 @ Remember those who are in prison as if you were in prison with them. And remember those who are having troubles, as if you were having the same troubles.

bwe@Hebrews:13:11 @ The high priest takes into the Most Holy Place the blood of animals that are sacrificed. He gives it to God to pay for the wrong things people have done. The bodies of these animals are burned outside the town.

bwe@Hebrews:13:14 @ Here we do not have a city that will last for ever, but we are looking for the city that will come.

bwe@Hebrews:13:16 @ But do not forget to do good things for people, and to give what you have to those who need it. These are sacrifices that please God.

bwe@Hebrews:13:17 @ Obey your leaders and do what they tell you. They are watching over your souls. They must give a report. Obey them so they will be glad, and not sad, to give a report. If you make them sad, it is no help to you.

bwe@Hebrews:13:20 @ God gives peace. He brought back our Lord Jesus from death. Our Lord Jesus cares for Gods people and he gave his blood for the agreement that stands for ever.

bwe@James:1:2 @ My brothers, be very happy when you are tested by having troubles of many kinds.

bwe@James:1:26 @ Some of you think that you are doing what God wants. But you are not careful what you say. If you are like that, you are fooling yourself. And you are not doing what God wants.

bwe@James:1:27 @ This is what God the Father wants. It is clean and right. Go and help those who have no father and mother. Go and help widow women whose husbands are dead. These people have troubles. And keep yourself clean from the wrong things in the world.

bwe@James:2:4 @ If you do these things, you think some people are better than others. You are wrong when you judge people this way.

bwe@James:2:5 @ Listen, my dear brothers. God has chosen people who are poor in this world. They believe very much. They will have a place in the kingdom which he has promised to give to those who love him.

bwe@James:2:6 @ But you made the poor man ashamed. Is it not the rich people who trouble you? Are not they the ones who take you to court?

bwe@James:2:7 @ Are not they the ones who say wrong things about the good name you have?

bwe@James:2:9 @ But if you think one man is better than another, that is wrong. The law says you are a bad person.

bwe@James:2:20 @ You are foolish! Believing is no good if it does not do anything good. Do you want to know that for sure?

bwe@James:3:4 @ Look at the big boats also. They are very big. The strong winds push them along. But a man uses a small piece of wood and makes the boat go where he wants it to go.

bwe@James:3:14 @ Are you a person who is very jealous? In your hearts you want to be better than others? Then stop being proud of yourself. Do not say what is not true.

bwe@James:3:16 @ If people are jealous of others, their lives are not right. They do every kind of wrong thing to get what they want. They confuse and upset people.

bwe@James:3:17 @ First of all, when God makes people wise, they are holy. They do not fight. They are gentle. They listen to what other people say. They are very kind and do many good things. They do not quarrel. They do not say what is not true.

bwe@James:4:1 @ Why do you fight and quarrel? It is because your feelings are fighting inside of you. That is why you fight.

bwe@James:4:6 @ But God helps you even more than that. That is why the holy writings say, God fights against those who are proud, but he helps those who are not proud.

bwe@James:4:11 @ My brothers, do not say wrong things about each other. A man who says wrong things about his brother or judges his brother is saying wrong things about Gods law and he is judging Gods law. If you judge the law, you are not obeying the law, but you are a judge.

bwe@James:4:12 @ God made the law and he is the judge. And he is the one who can save you or kill you. Who are you that you should judge your neighbour?

bwe@James:5:2 @ Your things are spoiled. Bugs have eaten your clothes.

bwe@James:5:3 @ Your gold and silver are all spoiled. The wrong in them will prove that you have done wrong. The wrong will burn you up like fire. You have kept all these things and now time is almost ended.

bwe@James:5:5 @ You have had a good time on earth. You have done anything you wanted to do. Your lives are full of everything. Like a fat animal, you will soon be killed.

bwe@1Peter:1:1 @ I am Peter. I am an apostle of Jesus Christ. I send this letter to Gods chosen people. You are like people on a journey. You live in the countries of Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia. But you do not belong there.

bwe@1Peter:1:4 @ Because we are Gods children, one day we shall receive special blessings. They cannot be spoiled in any way, and they will last for ever. They are kept safe in heaven for you.

bwe@1Peter:1:5 @ You are saved by Gods power because you believe. You will then be fully saved. The way is ready and you will see it when the end of time comes.

bwe@1Peter:1:6 @ This makes you very glad, even though now maybe you are sad because you have troubles of many kinds. They are only for a short time.

bwe@1Peter:1:8 @ You love him even though you have not seen him. You trust him even though you do not see him. And so you are very happy. No words can tell how happy you are. Your joy is very great.

bwe@1Peter:1:21 @ It is through Christ that you believe in God. God raised Christ from death and made him great. And that is why you are able to believe and hope in God.

bwe@1Peter:1:24 @ The holy writings say, People may be great. But they are like a flower on the grass. The grass dies and the flower falls off.

bwe@1Peter:2:5 @ You also are like living stones. You are being built into a temple, a holy place for God. You are to be holy priests there. You are to give sacrifices to God from your heart. God will accept them because of Jesus Christ.

bwe@1Peter:2:8 @ And to them he is also, a stone on which people will hit their feet, and a rock that will make them fall down. They hit their feet on it, because they do not obey the word. It was planned that this would happen to them! But you are a chosen people. You are priests to your king. You are a holy nation. You are Gods very own people. All this is so that you will tell how good he is. He called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.

bwe@1Peter:2:9 @ At one time you were not Gods people. But now you are Gods people. At one time you did not know Gods kindness. Now you do.

bwe@1Peter:2:10 @ Dear brothers, you are people who do not belong to this world. You are like visitors who are on a journey. I beg you, do not do the things your body wants to do. Those things fight against your soul.

bwe@1Peter:2:13 @ Obey the rulers because they are sent by him. They are sent to punish those who do wrong things and to praise those who do good things.

bwe@1Peter:2:15 @ You are free people. But do not think, I am free so I can do wrong things. You are Gods servants.

bwe@1Peter:2:17 @ Servants, respect and obey your masters in all things. Obey not only those who are good to you. But also obey those who are hard on you.

bwe@1Peter:2:19 @ What praise will you have if you take a beating when you have done something wrong? But when you do right and are punished, if you take it quietly, God is pleased.

bwe@1Peter:2:24 @ Like lost sheep, you were going away from God. But now you have come back to the one who takes care of you and helps you.

bwe@1Peter:3:6 @ Sarah obeyed Abraham. She called him her master. You are her children if you do what is right and are not afraid of trouble.

bwe@1Peter:3:8 @ Here is one thing more. You must all agree. You must care when others have trouble. You must love your Christian brothers. You must be kind. You must not be proud.

bwe@1Peter:4:4 @ Those people are surprised now that you do not do the same wrong things they do. And they say wrong things about you.

bwe@1Peter:4:5 @ They will have to explain what they are doing. They will have to talk to God about what they have done. He is ready to judge living people and dead people.

bwe@1Peter:4:6 @ That is why the good news was also told to those who are now dead. They will be judged like men who are alive. This was done so that they could live like God in the spirit.

bwe@1Peter:4:9 @ Be glad to take other Christians into your house and care for them. And do not grumble about it.

bwe@1Peter:4:11 @ Has God blessed you by knowing how to talk? Then you should talk the words of God. Are you a helper? Then you should help with the strength God has given you. In all that you do, you should show that God is great through Jesus Christ. He has praise and power for ever. Yes, he has!

bwe@1Peter:4:14 @ Do men say wrong things about you because you are a Christian? Then you are blessed because the wonderful Spirit, the Spirit of God, is with you.

bwe@1Peter:4:17 @ The time has come for God to judge people. Gods people will be judged first. If we are judged first, what will happen at the end to those who do not obey the good news of God?

bwe@1Peter:5:2 @ Take good care of Gods people. They have been given to you to care for. Do this, not because you must do it, but because you want to please God. Do it not for the money that you get for doing it, but because you are glad to do it.

bwe@1Peter:5:3 @ Do not be like a boss over the people you care for, telling them how to live. But show them how to live by the way you live.

bwe@1Peter:5:4 @ Christ the big Shepherd who takes care of all people is coming. When he comes, he will give you a crown to show that you are great. You will have it for ever.

bwe@1Peter:5:5 @ Also, you who are younger men, obey your leaders. I say to all of you, do not be proud. Do not think you are better than the others. The holy writings say, God fights against proud people, but he helps those who are not proud.

bwe@1Peter:5:6 @ You are under Gods power. Do not be proud, so that at the right time he may put you into a higher place.

bwe@1Peter:5:7 @ Turn all your troubles over to him, because he cares for you and is watching over you.

bwe@1Peter:5:14 @ Greet one another with a kiss of love. May all of you who are Christians have peace.

bwe@2Peter:1:4 @ Because of these things, he has promised us things that are worth very much and are very great. He has promised these things to us so that by them you may become like God too. By them you will be kept free from the selfish desires of the people in the world. These desires lead to death.

bwe@2Peter:1:12 @ I do want always to bring these things to your minds. I will do this even though you know them, and even though you are strong in the true way that you already have.

bwe@2Peter:1:19 @ And so we are more sure about what the prophets of God said long ago. You will do well to listen to them. It is like a lamp shining in a dark place. Then the daylight will come and the morning star will shine in your hearts.

bwe@2Peter:2:3 @ Because they are greedy for money, they will trick you with lies. For a long time God has planned to punish them. They will be punished at the right time.

bwe@2Peter:2:9 @ The Lord knows how to save good people out of the trouble that tests them. And he knows how to keep bad people until the day when he will judge them. And they are being punished even now.

bwe@2Peter:2:10 @ Most of all, he will punish people who do the wrong things they want to do and who will not obey the men who rule over them. They are very bold and proud. They do not fear to say wrong things about those who are great, even about the angels.

bwe@2Peter:2:12 @ These people are like animals that cannot think. They are like animals that are born to be caught and killed. They say wrong things about things they do not understand. They will die like the animals.

bwe@2Peter:2:13 @ Bad things will happen to them because they have done wrong things. They think it is fun to have a good time during the day. They are like spots and sores. They like to eat and drink at the love feasts with you. They are trying to fool you.

bwe@2Peter:2:14 @ They are always looking for women to have sex with them. They never stop their wrong ways. They fool people whose hearts are not strong to do right. They always want more and more money. Gods curse is on them!

bwe@2Peter:2:17 @ These men are like wells with no water in them. They are like fog that is blown away by a strong wind. A very dark place has been kept to put them in.

bwe@2Peter:2:19 @ They promise them that they will be free. But they themselves are slaves of death. A man is a slave of anything that rules over him.

bwe@2Peter:3:7 @ The sky and the earth that are here now are being kept because God spoke. They are kept to be burned up. This will happen on the day when God judges people and they will die.

bwe@2Peter:3:8 @ My dear brothers, do not forget this one thing. One day is like a thousand years to the Lord. And a thousand years are like one day.

bwe@2Peter:3:13 @ But we are looking for a new sky and a new earth which God has promised. Only good things will be in them.

bwe@2Peter:3:14 @ My dear brothers, you are looking for these things. So do all you can so that the Lord will find you without any bad or wrong thing in your lives. Let him find you at peace with one another.

bwe@2Peter:3:16 @ He also tells about them in all his letters. Some things in his letters are hard to understand. Some people do not know about these things and they are not strong in their faith. They change the meaning of the things Paul wrote. They do this to other things in the holy writings also. Because they do this, they will die.

bwe@2Peter:3:17 @ My dear brothers, you know about these things before they happen. Take care that you do not do the same things that bad people do. Take care that you do not stop believing the right way.

bwe@1John:1:1 @ The Word of life always was living, even from the beginning. We heard him. We saw him with our own eyes. We looked at him, and we touched him with our own hands. We are writing to you about this Word of life.

bwe@1John:1:5 @ God is like light and he is not dark at all. That is the message we heard from him. That is the message we are telling you.

bwe@1John:1:8 @ Do we say, We have no wrong ways?Then we are fooling ourselves, and we do not know what is true.

bwe@1John:2:14 @ Fathers, I write to you because you know him, the one who has lived from the beginning. Young men, I write to you because you are strong. You believe Gods word. You have won the victory over the devil.

bwe@1John:2:16 @ Nothing in the world comes from the Father. I mean the wrong things people like to do with their bodies. I mean the things people see and want to have. I mean all the things people are proud of in this life. These things come from the world, not the Father.

bwe@1John:2:18 @ Children, we are very near the end of time. You have heard that someone will come who is against Christ. Many who are against Christ have already come. That is how we know that we are very near the end of time.

bwe@1John:3:1 @ See how much the Father has loved us! We are called Gods children. It is true, we are Gods children. People in this world did not know him and so they do not know us.

bwe@1John:3:2 @ My dear brothers, we are Gods children now. No one knows yet what we shall be like. But we know that when Jesus comes, we will be like him. We will see him as he really is.

bwe@1John:3:10 @ This is how people can know who are Gods children and who are the devils children. Everyone who does not do right is not Gods child. And anyone who does not love his brother is not Gods child.

bwe@1John:3:19 @ And this is how we will know that we are true. This is why we will not be afraid in front of God.

bwe@1John:3:20 @ Even if our hearts think we are wrong, God is greater than our hearts and he knows everything.

bwe@1John:3:21 @ My dear brothers, if our hearts do not think we are wrong, we will not be afraid in front of God.

bwe@1John:4:1 @ My dear brothers, do not trust every spirit. But test the spirits to see if they belong to God. There are many prophets who are not true who have gone out into the world.

bwe@1John:4:4 @ My children, you belong to God. You have won the victory over those prophets who are not true. You have won because the Spirit that is in you is stronger than the spirit that is in the world.

bwe@1John:4:13 @ He has given us of his own Spirit. That is how we know that we are in him and he is in us.

bwe@1John:4:14 @ And we have seen and we are telling you that the Father sent his Son to save the people in the world.

bwe@1John:4:17 @ That is why we love each other very much. Then we will not be afraid on the day when people are judged. We are like Christ in this world.

bwe@1John:5:3 @ We show that we love God when we obey his laws. His laws are not hard to obey.

bwe@1John:5:7 @ There are three in heaven who prove it is true. They are the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit. These three are one.

bwe@1John:5:8 @ There are three on earth who prove it is true. They are the spirit, the water, and the blood. These three all prove the same thing.

bwe@1John:5:14 @ And we are sure God will do this. If we ask him for anything that he wants us to have, he will listen to us.

bwe@1John:5:16 @ Maybe a man sees his brother do something wrong, but not so bad that he must die for it. The man should ask God and God will let his brother live. God will let people live if the things they have done are not so bad that they must die for them. But there are things so wrong that a person must die for them. If he has done such as that, I do not tell the man to ask God to let him live.

bwe@2John:1:2 @ We love you because of the truth we share which is in our hearts and will be with us for ever.

bwe@2John:1:3 @ God the Father and Jesus Christ, the Fathers son, will bless us. They will be kind to us. They will give us peace. They will do these things because they are true, and they love us.

bwe@2John:1:4 @ I was very glad to find that some of your children are living in the right way. They are living the way the Father told us to live.

bwe@3John:1:3 @ I was very happy when the brothers came and told me that you have been true. They said you are really living the right way.

bwe@3John:1:4 @ Nothing can make me more happy than to hear that my children are living in the right way. My dear brother, when you help your Christian brothers in any way, even though you do not know them, you show that you do what you say you believe.

bwe@3John:1:7 @ So we should help such men with what they need. Then we are doing our part to tell the true message. I wrote a letter to the people of the church. But Diotrephes wants to be the leader. He will not listen to us.

bwe@Jude:1:3 @ My dear brothers, I wanted very much to write to you and tell you how we all are saved. But then I saw that I must write and tell you to hold very strongly to what you do believe. Fight against those who want to change it. The right way to believe has been given to Gods people once for all times.

bwe@Jude:1:4 @ Some men have come in quietly. They are bad men. The holy writings told us long ago that they would be punished. These men change the blessing of our God to do the wrong things they want to do. They show by their lives that they do not belong to Jesus Christ, our only Master and Lord

bwe@Jude:1:7 @ Also Sodom and Gomorrah and the other cities near them show what will happen. The people there had wrong ways of using sex and did wrong things that people should not do with each other. They were punished and are in fire that burns for ever. God did this to show what will happen to others.

bwe@Jude:1:8 @ And yet these men do the same wrong things. They think of and do wrong things with their bodies. They will not obey the men who rule over them. And they say wrong things about those who are great, even about the angels.

bwe@Jude:1:9 @ At one time Michael the chief angel had a quarrel with the devil about who should have the body of Moses. But he did not dare to judge the devil and say wrong things about him. He said, May the Lord tell you to stop!

bwe@Jude:1:11 @ They will have trouble! They have lived like Cain. They have done wrong things for pay like Balaam. They have talked against those who are over them. Korah did that. And so they will die as he did.

bwe@Jude:1:12 @ These men spoil your love feasts. They are not afraid to eat and drink with you. They take care only of themselves. They are like clouds that do not give rain, and are blown around by the winds. They are like trees when their leaves are gone and they have no fruit. These trees are also dead because they have been pulled up by the roots.

bwe@Jude:1:13 @ These men are like big waves on the sea. Big waves cause much trouble. And these men also show the wrong things they do. They are like stars that have fallen from their place in the sky. A very dark place has been kept for ever in which to put these men.

bwe@Jude:1:16 @ These men complain about the way things are. They do not like it. They do what they themselves want to do. They say big things. They say nice things to people to get what they want from them.

bwe@Jude:1:19 @ These are the men who make people go into different groups in the church meetings. They have only a mans heart. They do not have the Holy Spirit.

bwe@Jude:1:22 @ Some people are not sure what they believe. Be kind to them by sharing in their troubles.

bwe@Jude:1:23 @ Pull them out of the fire and save them. There are other people to whom you must be kind, but be careful about it. But you must hate even the clothes that bad people have worn.

bwe@Revelation:1:1 @ God showed these things to Jesus Christ to show to his servants. These are things that must happen soon. Then God sent his angel and showed them to John, his servant.
