mnt@Matthew:1:1 @ The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.

mnt@Matthew:1:2 @ Abraham was the father of Isaac; Isaac was the father of Jacob; Jacob, of Judah and his brethren;

mnt@Matthew:1:3 @ Judah (by Tamar), of Perez and Zerah; Perez, of Hezron; Hezron, of Ram;

mnt@Matthew:1:5 @ Salmon (by Rahab), of Boaz; Boaz (by Ruth), of Obed; Obed, of Jesse;

mnt@Matthew:1:6 @ And Jesse, of David the king. David (by Uriahs widow), was the father of Solomon;

mnt@Matthew:1:7 @ Solomon, of Rehoboam; Rehoboam, of Abijah; Abijah, of Asa;

mnt@Matthew:1:8 @ Asa, of Jehoshaphat; Jehoshaphat, of Joram; Joram, of Uzziah;

mnt@Matthew:1:9 @ Uzziah, of Jotham; Jotham, of Ahaz; Ahaz, of Hezekiah;

mnt@Matthew:1:10 @ Hezekiah, of Manasseh; Manasseh, of Amon; Amon, of Josiah;

mnt@Matthew:1:11 @ Josiah, of Jechoniah and his brethren, at the time of the carrying away to Babylon.

mnt@Matthew:1:12 @ And after the carrying away into Babylon, Jechoniah became the father of Shealtiel; Shealtiel, of Zerubbabel;

mnt@Matthew:1:13 @ Zerubbabel, of Abiud; Abiud, of Eliakim; Eliakim, of Azor;

mnt@Matthew:1:16 @ And Jacob, of Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.

mnt@Matthew:1:17 @ So the whole number of generations from Abraham to David is fourteen; from David to the exile to Babylon is fourteen; and from the exile to Babylon to Christ is fourteen.

mnt@Matthew:1:18 @ The birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. After his mother, Mary, had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found to be with child by the Holy Spirit.

mnt@Matthew:1:19 @ But Joseph her husband, because he was just a man and unwilling to disgrace her, was minded to put her away secretly.

mnt@Matthew:1:20 @ And while he was having this in mind, behold! an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying.

mnt@Matthew:1:21 @ "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary your wife home, for what is begotten in her is by the Holy Spirit; and she will bear a son, and you are to call him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins."

mnt@Matthew:1:22 @ All this happened that the word of the Lord spoken through the prophet might be fulfilled.

mnt@Matthew:1:23 @ Behold! the virgin shall be with child, and shall bear a son; and they shall call his name Immanuel, a word which means "God with us."

mnt@Matthew:1:24 @ Now when Joseph awoke from his sleep he did as the angel of the Lord had directed him, and took his wife home,

mnt@Matthew:1:25 @ but did not live with her until after the birth of her son, whom he called Jesus.

mnt@Matthew:2:1 @ After the birth of Jesus, which took place at Bethlehem in Judea, during the reign of King Herod, lo! certain Magi arrived in Jerusalem, saying.

mnt@Matthew:2:2 @ "Where is the new-born King of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the East, and are come to worship him."

mnt@Matthew:2:3 @ When King Herod heard this he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.

mnt@Matthew:2:4 @ So when he had gathered together all the chief priests and rabbis of the people, he began to inquire of them where the Christ was to be born.

mnt@Matthew:2:5 @ And they told him. "At Bethlehem in Judea, as it is written in the prophet.

mnt@Matthew:2:6 @ "And thou Bethlehem in the land of Judah, Thou are not least among the princes of Judah, For out of thee shall come a ruler Who shall shepherd my people, Israel."

mnt@Matthew:2:7 @ Thereupon Herod sent secretly for the Magi, and found out from them the time when the star appeared.

mnt@Matthew:2:8 @ Then he sent them to Bethlehem, saying, "Go and make careful inquiry about the child, and as soon as you have found him bring me word, that I, too, may go and worship him."

mnt@Matthew:2:9 @ The Magi listened to the king, and went on their way, and lo! the star which they had seen in the east led them until it came and stood over the place where the young child was.

mnt@Matthew:2:10 @ And when they saw the star, they rejoiced with great gladness.

mnt@Matthew:2:11 @ When they had entered the house, they saw the child with Mary, his mother, and opening their treasure-chests they gave him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh.

mnt@Matthew:2:12 @ But because they were forbidden by God in a dream to go back to Herod, they returned to their own country by another route.

mnt@Matthew:2:13 @ When they were gone an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying; "Rise! Take the young child and his mother and flee into Egypt, and there remain until I bring you word; for Herod intends to make a search for the child, in order to put him to death."

mnt@Matthew:2:14 @ So Joseph arose, took the child and his mother, by night, and departed to Egypt.

mnt@Matthew:2:15 @ There he remained until the death of Herod, in order that the word of the Lord through the prophet might be fulfilled, which says, Out of Egypt I called my son.

mnt@Matthew:2:16 @ As soon as Herod saw that he had been mocked by the Magi, he was furious. He sent and put to death all the boys in Bethlehem and all the neighborhood who were two years old or under, in accordance with the date which he had ascertained from the Magi.

mnt@Matthew:2:17 @ Then were fulfilled the words spoken through Jeremiah, the prophet, saying,

mnt@Matthew:2:18 @ A voice was heard in Ramah, Weeping and lamentation- Rachel weeping for her children, Inconsolable, because they were no more!

mnt@Matthew:2:19 @ But after Herods death an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,

mnt@Matthew:2:20 @ saying, "Rise! Take the child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel, for those who were seeking the life of the child are dead."

mnt@Matthew:2:21 @ So he rose and took the child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.

mnt@Matthew:2:22 @ But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning in Judea in place of his father, Herod, he was afraid to go there; and being warned of God in a dream, he withdrew into Galilee and settled in a town called Nazareth,

mnt@Matthew:2:23 @ in fulfillment of the word spoken through the Prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.

mnt@Matthew:3:1 @ In those days came John the Baptist preaching in the desert of Judea;

mnt@Matthew:3:2 @ "Repent," said he, "for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."

mnt@Matthew:3:3 @ This Johnit was of whom it was said through Isaiah, the prophet, The voice of one who cries aloud in the desert, "Prepare a way for the Lord, Make the paths straight for him."

mnt@Matthew:3:4 @ This Johnwore a garment of camels hair, and a leather belt around his waist, and his food was locusts and wild honey.

mnt@Matthew:3:5 @ Then Jerusalem began to go out to him, and all Judea, and the whole neighborhood of the Jordan,

mnt@Matthew:3:6 @ and were baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.

mnt@Matthew:3:7 @ But when Johnsaw that many of the Pharisees and Sadducees were coming for baptism, he said. "O brood of vipers! Who has warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

mnt@Matthew:3:8 @ Then bring forth fruit worthy of repentance.

mnt@Matthew:3:9 @ And do not presume to say to yourselves, We have Abraham as our father-I tell you that out of these very stones God is able to raise up descendants for Abraham.

mnt@Matthew:3:10 @ And already the axe is lying at the roots of the trees. Any tree, therefore, that does not bear good fruit is cut down and cast into the fire.

mnt@Matthew:3:11 @ I indeed am baptizing you in water, unto repentance; but One is coming after me, mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and in fire.

mnt@Matthew:3:12 @ His winnowing-fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse the threshing-floor. He will store his wheat in the granary, but will burn up the chaff in unquenchable fire."

mnt@Matthew:3:13 @ At that very time Jesus was on his way from Galilee to the Jordan, to John, to be baptized by him.

mnt@Matthew:3:14 @ But he tried to prevent him. "It is I," he said, "who need to be baptized by you, and are you coming to me?"

mnt@Matthew:3:15 @ But Jesus answered, "Permit it now, for so it is fitting for us to fulfill every religious duty."

mnt@Matthew:3:16 @ Then he consented. And after Jesus was baptized, as soon as he rose out of the water, lo! the heavens opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon him,

mnt@Matthew:3:17 @ while a voice from heaven said, "This is my son, the beloved, In whom I delight."

mnt@Matthew:4:1 @ Then Jesus was led up into the desert by the Spirit, to be tempted by the devil.

mnt@Matthew:4:2 @ And after he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he became hungry,

mnt@Matthew:4:3 @ So the tempter came and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, bid these stones to become bread."

mnt@Matthew:4:4 @ Jesus answered him, "It is written, Not by bread alone shall man live, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God."

mnt@Matthew:4:5 @ Then the devil took him up into the Holy City and stood him on the parapet of the temple,

mnt@Matthew:4:6 @ and said to him. "If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down; for it is written, "He will give his angels charge over thee; Upon their hands they will bear thee up, Lest thou dash thy foot against a stone."

mnt@Matthew:4:7 @ "It is written again," answered Jesus, "Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God."

mnt@Matthew:4:8 @ Then the devil took Jesus to a very high mountain, and showed all the kingdoms of the earth and the glory of them,

mnt@Matthew:4:9 @ and said to him, "All these will I give you, if you will fall down and worship me."

mnt@Matthew:4:10 @ "Begone, Satan!" answered Jesus, "for it is written, "Thou must worship the Lord thy God, and Him only must thou serve."

mnt@Matthew:4:11 @ Then the devil left him, and behold! angels came and began ministering to him.

mnt@Matthew:4:12 @ Now when Jesus heard that Johnhad been arrested, he withdrew into Galilee.

mnt@Matthew:4:13 @ He left Nazareth, and settled in Capernaum-by-the-Lake, near the borders of Zebulun and Naphtali,

mnt@Matthew:4:14 @ in order that these words spoken through Isaiah the prophet, might be fulfilled.

mnt@Matthew:4:15 @ Land of Zebulun, land of Naphtali; The road by the Lake; the country beyond Jordan; Galilee of the Gentiles!

mnt@Matthew:4:16 @ The people who were dwelling in darkness Have seen a great light; And on those who were dwelling in the land of the shadows of death Light has dawned.

mnt@Matthew:4:17 @ From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, "Repent for the kingdom of heaven is near."

mnt@Matthew:4:18 @ And as he was walking by the see of Galilee, he saw two brothers- Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew, his brother-casting their net into the sea, for they were fishermen.

mnt@Matthew:4:19 @ "Come, follow me," said Jesus, "And I will make you fishers of men."

mnt@Matthew:4:20 @ And they dropped their nets at once, and followed him.

mnt@Matthew:4:21 @ As he went farther on he saw two other brothers, Jamesthe son of Zebedee, and Johnhis brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets, and he called them.

mnt@Matthew:4:22 @ They immediately left the boat and their father, and followed him.

mnt@Matthew:4:23 @ Then Jesus went about through Galilee, teaching in the synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every kind of disease and infirmity among the people.

mnt@Matthew:4:24 @ And his fame spread throughout all Syria. They brought all the sick to him, those who were suffering from various diseases and troubles- demoniacs, epileptics, paralytics-and he healed them.

mnt@Matthew:4:25 @ Great crowds followed him from Galilee, from the ten towns, from Jerusalem, and Judea, and from beyond Jordan.

mnt@Matthew:5:1 @ When he saw the crowds, he went up the mountain, and when he had seated himself, his disciples came to him,

mnt@Matthew:5:2 @ and opening his lips he began to teach them, saying.

mnt@Matthew:5:3 @ "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for the kingdom of heaven is theirs.

mnt@Matthew:5:4 @ "Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.

mnt@Matthew:5:5 @ "Blessed are the gentle, for they shall inherit the earth."

mnt@Matthew:5:6 @ "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for the righteousness, for they shall be completely satisfied.

mnt@Matthew:5:7 @ "Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.

mnt@Matthew:5:8 @ "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.

mnt@Matthew:5:9 @ "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.

mnt@Matthew:5:10 @ "Blessed are those who have been persecuted in the cause of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

mnt@Matthew:5:11 @ "Blessed are you when they shall revile you, and persecute you, and say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my names sake.

mnt@Matthew:5:12 @ "Rejoice and exult in it, because your reward was great in the heavens; for so did they persecute the prophets before you.

mnt@Matthew:5:13 @ "You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt lose its savor, in what way shall it be salted? It is henceforth good for nothing but to be thrown out and trodden under foot of men.

mnt@Matthew:5:14 @ "You are the light of the world. A city built on a hilltop cannot be hid;

mnt@Matthew:5:15 @ "nor do men light a lamp, and put it under the bushel, but on the lamp-stand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.

mnt@Matthew:5:16 @ "So let your light shine before men that they may see good you do, and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.

mnt@Matthew:5:17 @ "Do not suppose that I am come to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I am come not to destroy, but to fulfil.

mnt@Matthew:5:18 @ "In solemn truth I tell you that until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a comma, will pass from the Law until all has taken place.

mnt@Matthew:5:19 @ "So whoever breaks one of these least commandments, and teaches others to break them, will be least in the kingdom of heaven. But he who keeps them and teaches them, he will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

mnt@Matthew:5:20 @ "For I assure you that unless your righteousness exceed that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not find entrance into the kingdom of heaven.

mnt@Matthew:5:21 @ "You have heard that it was said to the ancients, "Thou shall not commit murder, and "he who commits murder shall be liable to condemnation by the court;

mnt@Matthew:5:22 @ but I say to you that he who becomes angry with his brother shall be liable to condemnation by the court; and he who says to his brother Raca, shall be liable to condemnation by the Sanhedrin, while he who curses his brother shall be liable to the Gehenna of Fire.

mnt@Matthew:5:23 @ "If therefore when you are offering your gift upon the altar, and there remember that your brother has a grievance against you,

mnt@Matthew:5:24 @ "leave there your gift before the altar, and go and make friends with your brother, first of all; then come and offer your gift.

mnt@Matthew:5:25 @ "Come to terms with your opponent quickly, while you are yet with him on the way to the court, to prevent your opponent from handing you over to the judge, and the judge to the jailer, and so you be thrown into prison.

mnt@Matthew:5:26 @ "I tell you truly that you would certainly not get out from there until you had paid back the last cent.

mnt@Matthew:5:27 @ "You have heard that it was said, "Thou shalt not commit adultery.

mnt@Matthew:5:28 @ But I say to you that whoever looks with lust at a woman has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

mnt@Matthew:5:29 @ And if your eye, your right eye, entices you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you. It is better for you to lose one of your bodily organs, than to have your whole body go down into the pit.

mnt@Matthew:5:30 @ And if your right hand entices you into sin, cut it off and cast it from you; for it is better for you to lose one of your bodily organs, than to have your whole body go down into the pit.

mnt@Matthew:5:31 @ "It was also said, "Whoever divorces his wife must give her a bill of separation.

mnt@Matthew:5:32 @ But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of unchastity, makes her an adulteress, and whoever marries her when so divorced, commits adultery.

mnt@Matthew:5:46 @ "For if you love only those who love you, what reward have you?

mnt@Matthew:5:47 @ "Even the tax-gatherers do that, do they not? And if you show courtesy to your brother only, what are you doing more than others? Even the Gentiles do that, do they not?

mnt@Matthew:15:20 @ These are the things that defile a man; to eat with unwashed hands does not defile a man."

mnt@Matthew:15:21 @ Jesus then left that place, and withdrew into the region of Tyre and Sidon.

mnt@Matthew:15:22 @ Behold, there came to him a Canaanite woman of those parts. She wailed loudly, saying. "Pity me, Lord, thou Son of David! My daughter is possessed of an evil spirit."

mnt@Matthew:15:25 @ But the woman came and knelt to him and said, "Lord, do help me."

mnt@Matthew:15:29 @ On leaving that place Jesus went along the shore of the Sea of Galilee; and after climbing a hill, took his seat there.

mnt@Matthew:15:30 @ Great crowds came to him, bringing the crippled, the blind, the maimed, the dumb, and many others. They laid them at his feet and he healed them;

mnt@Matthew:15:34 @ "How many loaves have you?" answered Jesus. They replied, "Seven, and a few small fish.

mnt@Matthew:15:36 @ he took the seven loaves and the fish, and gave thanks, then he broke them and gave them to his disciples, and the disciples to the crowd.

mnt@Matthew:15:38 @ And those who ate numbered four thousand, besides the women and children.

mnt@Matthew:15:39 @ When he had sent the crowds away, he got into the boat and came into the region of Magadan.

mnt@Matthew:16:1 @ Then the Pharisees and Sadducees came to him, and in order to test him, asked him to show them a sign from heaven.

mnt@Matthew:16:2 @ In answer he said. "In the evening you say, It will be fine weather, for the sky is red as fire;

mnt@Matthew:16:4 @ A wicked and faithless generation is seeking a sign, but no sign shall be given it but the sign of Jonah." So he left them and went away.

mnt@Matthew:16:5 @ When his disciples reached the other side of the lake, they had forgotten to bring bread.

mnt@Matthew:16:6 @ Presently Jesus said to them, "Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees."

mnt@Matthew:16:7 @ And they began discussing it among themselves, saying, "It is because we did not bring any bread."

mnt@Matthew:16:8 @ When Jesus knew it he said. "Weaklings in faith! Why are you arguing among yourselves, because you have no bread?

mnt@Matthew:16:9 @ "Do you not remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many large basketfuls you took up?

mnt@Matthew:16:12 @ Then they realized that he had not told them to beware of the leaven, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

mnt@Matthew:16:13 @ When Jesus came into the neighborhood of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, "Who do people say that the Son of man is?"

mnt@Matthew:16:14 @ They replied, "Some say Johnthe Baptist;others, however, say that He is Elijah;others, Jeremiah, or One of the Prophets."

mnt@Matthew:16:15 @ "And who do you say that I am?" he asked them.

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

mnt@Matthew:16:17 @ "Blessed are you, Simon, Son of Jonah," said Jesus; "for flesh and blood have not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven!

mnt@Matthew:16:20 @ Then he enjoined his disciples to tell no one that he was the Christ.

mnt@Matthew:16:21 @ After this Jesus the Christ began to show his disciples how he must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things at the hands of the elders and chief priests and Scribes, and be put to death, and on the third day be raised again.

mnt@Matthew:16:22 @ Then Peter took him aside and began to reprove him, saying. "God forbid, Master! That shall never befall you."

mnt@Matthew:16:23 @ But he turned and said to Peter. "Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling-block to me, because you are not intent on what pleases God, but what pleases men."

mnt@Matthew:17:2 @ Here he was transfigured before them; his face shone like the sun, and his garments became as white as the light.

mnt@Matthew:17:3 @ And behold! Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Jesus.

mnt@Matthew:17:7 @ But Jesus came to them and touched them, saying, "Rise, have no fear!"

mnt@Matthew:17:8 @ And when they raised their eyes they saw no one save Jesus only.

mnt@Matthew:17:9 @ While they were going down from the mountain, Jesus laid a command on them. "Speak to no man about the vision," he said, "until after the Son of man has been raised from the dead."

mnt@Matthew:17:10 @ And his disciples asked him, saying, "Why then do the Scribes say that Elijah must first come?"

mnt@Matthew:17:11 @ And he answered. "Elijah is coming, and will restore all things.

mnt@Matthew:17:12 @ "Nay, I say to you that Elijah has come already, and they did not recognize him, but did to him whatever they chose. Even so the Son of man also is about to suffer at their hands."

mnt@Matthew:26:42 @ Then he went away again a second time and prayed, saying, "O, my Father, if this cup cannot pass except I drink it, Thy will be done."

mnt@Matthew:26:43 @ He came again and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.

mnt@Matthew:26:44 @ So he left them and went away again, and prayed the third time in the same words as before.

mnt@Matthew:26:45 @ Then he came to the disciples and said. "Sleep on now, and take your rest. Look! the hour is at hand; the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of wicked men.

mnt@Matthew:26:46 @ "Rouse yourselves! Let us go. My betrayer is close at hand!"

mnt@Matthew:26:48 @ Now his betrayer had given them a sign, saying. "Whoever I kiss is the man; arrest him."

mnt@Matthew:26:49 @ So he came straight up to Jesus and said, "Hail, Rabbi!" and kissed him eagerly.

mnt@Matthew:26:50 @ "Friend, do that for which you came," said Jesus. Then they came forward and laid hands on Jesus, and arrested him.

mnt@Matthew:26:51 @ And, behold, one of these who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, and smote the slave of the high priest, and cut off his ear.

mnt@Matthew:26:54 @ "But if I did, how could the Scriptures be fulfilled that say that thus it must happen?"

mnt@Matthew:26:56 @ "But all this has happened in order that the Scriptures might be fulfilled."

mnt@Matthew:26:57 @ Then all his disciples forsook him and fled; but those who had apprehended Jesus led him away to Caiaphas, the high priest, where the scribes and the elders had assembled.

mnt@Matthew:26:58 @ Now Peter was following him, afar off, as far as the courtyard of the high priest; and when he got in, he was sitting with the officers, to see the end.

mnt@Matthew:26:59 @ And the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were trying to get false evidence against Jesus, in order that they might have him executed;

mnt@Matthew:26:60 @ but they found none, although many false witnesses came forward.

mnt@Matthew:26:61 @ However, at last two came forward who said, "This fellow declared, I can destroy the Temple of God and build it in three days."

mnt@Matthew:26:62 @ Rising to his feet the high priest asked Jesus. "Do you make no answer? What is it that these are testifying against you?"

mnt@Matthew:26:63 @ But Jesus kept silence. Again the high priest addressed him, "I adjure you by the Living God, tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God!"

mnt@Matthew:26:64 @ "I am He," Jesus answered; "yet I tell you that from this time on you will see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming upon the clouds of heaven."

mnt@Matthew:26:65 @ Then the high priest tore his garments, saying. "He has spoken blasphemy! What further need have we of witnesses? For behold, now you have heard his blasphemy!

mnt@Matthew:26:66 @ "What is your verdict?" "He ought to die," they answered.

mnt@Matthew:26:67 @ Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and some struck him with the palms of their hands, and cried.

mnt@Matthew:26:68 @ "Prophesy to us, you Christ! Who is it who struck you?"

mnt@Matthew:26:69 @ Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard, and one of the maidservants came up to him and said, "You also were with Jesus, the Galilean!"

mnt@Matthew:26:70 @ But he denied it before them all; "I do not know what you mean," he said.

mnt@Matthew:26:71 @ Soon afterward he went out into the porch, and another maid saw him, and said to those who were there, "This fellow certainly was with Jesus, the Nazarene!"

mnt@Matthew:26:72 @ And again he denied it with an oath, saying, "I never knew the man."

mnt@Matthew:26:73 @ A little later the bystanders came up and said to Peter, "You also are certainly one of them, for your speech betrays you."

mnt@Matthew:26:74 @ Then he began to curse and swear, saying, "I never knew the man." Immediately the cock crew!

mnt@Matthew:26:75 @ Then Peter recalled the word that Jesus had spoken, "Before the cock crow, you shall three times deny me" - and he went out and broke out into bitter weeping.

mnt@Matthew:27:1 @ And when the morning came, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus, how they might put him to death.

mnt@Matthew:27:2 @ After they had bound him, they led him away, and handed him over to Pilate, the Roman Governor.

mnt@Matthew:27:3 @ Then when Judas, his betrayer, saw that he was condemned, he repented and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders.

mnt@Matthew:27:4 @ "I have sinned," he said, "in betraying innocent blood!" "What is that to us?" they answered; "you must see to that."

mnt@Matthew:27:5 @ And flinging down the silver into the Sanctuary, he rushed out, and went and hanged himself.

mnt@Matthew:27:6 @ The chief priests took the money, and said, "It would be wrong to put it into the temple-treasury, because it is the price of blood."

mnt@Matthew:27:7 @ So after the consultation they bought the Potters Field with it, for a burial-place for strangers.

mnt@Matthew:27:8 @ That is the reason why, to this day, the field is called "The Field of Blood."

mnt@Matthew:27:9 @ Then was fulfilled the word spoken by the prophet Jeremiah. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him who had been priced, whom certain of the Children of Israel had priced;

mnt@Matthew:27:10 @ and gave them for the Potters Field, as the Lord had appointed me.

mnt@Matthew:27:11 @ Now Jesus stood before the Governor, and the Governor questioned him. "Are you the King of the Jews?" he asked.

mnt@Matthew:27:12 @ "it is as you say," answered Jesus; but while he was being accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.

mnt@Matthew:27:13 @ Then Pilate said to him, "Do you not hear what they are testifying against you?"

mnt@Matthew:27:14 @ But he made no answer, not even to one charge; insomuch that the Governor was greatly astonished.

mnt@Matthew:27:15 @ Now it was the Governors custom, during the Passover, to release to the people any one prisoner whom they selected.

mnt@Matthew:27:16 @ At that time they had a notorious prisoner named Barabbas.

mnt@Matthew:27:17 @ So when they had assembled, Pilate said to them, "Whom do you want me to release to you, Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?"

mnt@Matthew:27:18 @ He knew well that it was because of enmity that they had brought Jesus before him.

mnt@Matthew:27:19 @ And while he was seated upon the judgment-seat, his wife had sent to him, saying, "Have nothing to do with that innocent man, for I have suffered many things today, in a dream, because of him."

mnt@Matthew:27:20 @ But the chief priests and the elders urged the crowds to ask for Barabbas, and to destroy Jesus.

mnt@Matthew:27:21 @ So when Pilate said to them, "Which of the two do you want me to release unto you?" they said, "Barabbas."

mnt@Matthew:27:22 @ And Pilate asked, "What then shall I do with Jesus, who is called Christ?" What one voice they shouted, "Let him be crucified!"

mnt@Matthew:27:23 @ But Pilate said, "Why, what evil has he done?" But they kept shouting the more fiercely, "Let him be crucified!"

mnt@Matthew:27:24 @ So when Pilate saw that he was accomplishing nothing, but that on the contrary a riot was threatening, he took water and washed his hands in the presence of the crowd, saying. "I am innocent of the blood of this man; you must answer for it."

mnt@Matthew:27:25 @ All the people answered, "His blood be upon us and upon our children."

mnt@Matthew:27:26 @ Then he released Barabbas to them, but Jesus he scourged, and delivered to be crucified.

mnt@Matthew:27:27 @ Then the soldiers of the Governor took Jesus into the Praetorium, and gathered all the battalion together.

mnt@Matthew:27:28 @ They stripped him and put on him a scarlet robe.

mnt@Matthew:27:29 @ And they twisted a thorny crown for him, and put it on his head, and placed a reed in his right hand. Then they knelt before him, in mockery, crying, "Hail, King of the Jews!"

mnt@Matthew:27:30 @ And they spit upon him, and took the reed and struck him on the head, again and again.

mnt@Matthew:27:31 @ At last, when they had finished their mocking, they took the robe off, and put his own garments on him, and led him away to crucify him.

mnt@Matthew:27:32 @ And as they went out they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name, whom they compelled to go with them to carry his cross.

mnt@Matthew:27:33 @ And when they came to a place called Golgotha (the word means "Place of a Skull"),

mnt@Matthew:27:34 @ they gave Jesus wine to drink, mingled with gall. But after tasting it he refused to drink it.

mnt@Matthew:27:35 @ After crucifying him, they parted his garments among them by casting lots.

mnt@Matthew:27:36 @ Then they sat and watched him there.

mnt@Matthew:27:37 @ They also placed above his head his accusation written, This is Jesus The King of the Jews

mnt@Matthew:27:38 @ At that time two robbers, also, were crucified with him; one on his right hand, the other on his left.

mnt@Matthew:27:39 @ Those who passed by reviled him, wagging their heads saying.

mnt@Matthew:27:40 @ "You who were going to destroy the Temple and build it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross!"

mnt@Matthew:27:42 @ "He saved other," they said, "himself he cannot save. He, the King of Israel! Let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe on him!

mnt@Matthew:27:43 @ He put his trust in God. let Him deliver him now, if He cares for him. For he said, I am the Son of God!"

mnt@Matthew:27:44 @ In the same way the robbers also who were being crucified with him, dept reviling him.

mnt@Matthew:27:45 @ Now from noon darkness fell upon the whole land, until three oclock in the afternoon.

mnt@Matthew:27:46 @ But at three oclock Jesus cried out in loud voice, "Eli, Eli, Lama Sabachthani?" (That is to say, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?")

mnt@Matthew:27:47 @ When they heard this, some of the bystanders said "He is calling for Elijah!"

mnt@Matthew:27:48 @ At once, one of them ran, and took a sponge, and filling it with vinegar, put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.

mnt@Matthew:27:49 @ But the rest said. "Let be! Let us see whether Elijah is coming to save him!"

mnt@Matthew:27:50 @ And Jesus cried again with a loud voice, and yielded up his spirit.

mnt@Matthew:27:51 @ And lo, the veil of the sanctuary was torn in two, from the top to the bottom;

mnt@Matthew:27:52 @ the earth quaked; the rocks split; the tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised.

mnt@Matthew:27:53 @ And coming forth out of the tombs, after his resurrection, they went into the holy city and appeared to many.

mnt@Matthew:27:54 @ When the Roman captain and the soldiers who were with him, guarding Jesus, saw the earthquake and all that happened, they were greatly terrified and said, "Certainly this man must have been Gods Son."

mnt@Matthew:27:55 @ And there were present several women who were looking on from a distance; they had followed Jesus from a Galilee, ministering to him.

mnt@Matthew:27:56 @ among them being Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of Jamesand Joses, and the mother of Zebedees sons.

mnt@Matthew:27:57 @ When it was eventide, there came a rich man of Arimathea, named Josephus, who was himself a disciple of Jesus.

mnt@Matthew:27:58 @ This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.

mnt@Matthew:27:59 @ Pilate then commanded that it be given over to him.

mnt@Matthew:27:60 @ So Joseph took the body, and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had cut in the rock; and after rolling a great stone against the opening of the tomb, he went away.

mnt@Matthew:27:61 @ And Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the tomb.

mnt@Matthew:27:62 @ The day after - that is, the day following the Preparation - the chief priests and Pharisees went in a body to Pilate and said.

mnt@Matthew:27:63 @ "We recollect, Sir, that when he was living this imposter said, I will rise again after three days.

mnt@Matthew:27:64 @ Now therefore give order to have the sepulcher securely guarded until the third day, for fear his disciples may come and steal him away, and then tell the people, He is risen from the dead;and so the last error will be worse than the first."

mnt@Matthew:27:65 @ "You can have a guard," said Pilate. "Go your way, make it as secure as you can."

mnt@Matthew:27:66 @ So they went and made the sepulcher secure, by sealing the stone in the presence of the guard.

mnt@Matthew:28:1 @ At the end of the Sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came down to see the sepulcher, when lo!

mnt@Matthew:28:2 @ There had been a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord had come down from heaven, and gone and rolled away the stone, and was sitting upon it.

mnt@Matthew:28:3 @ His appearance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow.

mnt@Matthew:28:4 @ The guards trembled for fear of him, and became like dead men.

mnt@Matthew:28:5 @ But to the women the angel said. "You need have no fear, for I know that you are seeking Jesus, the Crucified One.

mnt@Matthew:28:6 @ He is not here; for he is risen, even as he said. Come, see the place where the Master was lying!

mnt@Matthew:28:7 @ And go quickly and tell his disciples. He is risen from the dead; he goes before you into Galilee; you will see him there. Remember, I have told you."

mnt@Matthew:28:8 @ On this they ran quickly from the sepulcher, in fear and great joy, to tell the news to his disciples.

mnt@Matthew:28:9 @ And behold! Jesus himself met them, saying, "All hail!" And they went up to him and clasped his feet and worshiped him.

mnt@Matthew:28:10 @ Then Jesus said to them. "Fear not! Go tell my brothers to depart into Galilee, and they will see men there."

mnt@Matthew:28:11 @ Now while they were on their way, some of the guard went into the city and told the high priest all that had happened.

mnt@Matthew:28:12 @ And when they had met with the elders and conferred together, they heavily bribed the soldiers and told them to say,

mnt@Matthew:28:13 @ "His disciples came by night and stole him away, while we were asleep."

mnt@Matthew:28:14 @ "If this should reach the Governors ears," they said, "we will satisfy him and screen you from punishment."

mnt@Matthew:28:15 @ So the soldiers took the money, and did as they were told; and this story has been noised abroad among the Jews, and continues to this day.

mnt@Matthew:28:16 @ But the eleven disciples went away to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had appointed them.

mnt@Matthew:28:17 @ And when they saw him they worshiped him; but some doubted.

mnt@Matthew:28:18 @ And Jesus came forward to them and spoke to them, saying. "All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.

mnt@Matthew:28:19 @ Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit;

mnt@Matthew:28:20 @ teaching them to observe every command which I have given you. and lo! I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world."

mnt@Mark:1:3 @ The voice of one crying aloud. In the desert make ready a road for the Lord. Make his paths straight.

mnt@Mark:1:6 @ And Johnwas clothed with camels hair, and he had a leather girdle round his loins, and he ate locusts, and "honey of the wood."

mnt@Mark:1:7 @ He made proclamation. "There is One mightier than I coming after me, and I am not worthy to stoop down and unfasten his sandal strap;

mnt@Mark:1:8 @ I have baptized you in water, but he shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit."

mnt@Mark:1:9 @ It was at that time that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by Johnin the Jordan;

mnt@Mark:1:10 @ and as soon as he rose from the water he saw the sky cleft asunder, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him,

mnt@Mark:1:12 @ Then the Spirit drove him at once into the desert,

mnt@Mark:1:13 @ and he remained in the desert for forty days, tempted by Satan; and he was among the wild beasts, but the angels were ministering to him.

mnt@Mark:1:18 @ At once they left their nets and followed him.

mnt@Mark:1:19 @ As he went a little farther on he saw James, the son of Zebedee, and Johnhis brother, who also were in their boat mending the nets.

mnt@Mark:1:20 @ Straightway he called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants and went after him.

mnt@Mark:1:21 @ So they came to Capernaum, and as soon as the Sabbath Day came he went into the synagogue and began to teach.

mnt@Mark:1:22 @ They were astonished at his teaching, for he was teaching them with authority, not like the Scribes.

mnt@Mark:1:23 @ And at that very moment, there in their synagogue, a man in the grip of an unclean spirit shrieked out.

mnt@Mark:1:24 @ "What business have you with us, you Jesus of Nazareth? Are you come to destroy us? I know you who you are, the Holy One of God."

mnt@Mark:1:27 @ and every one was amazed so that they began questioning among themselves. "What does this mean? A new teaching with authority? He lays commands even upon unclean spirits and they obey him."

mnt@Mark:1:28 @ And at once his fame spread everywhere through that part of Galilee.

mnt@Mark:1:29 @ On leaving the synagogue they went at once with Jamesand Johnto the house of Simon and Andrew.

mnt@Mark:1:31 @ So he came and took her hand and raised her up. The fever left her at once, and she began to wait upon them.

mnt@Mark:1:32 @ At evening when the sun had set, people came and brought to him all the sick and demon-possessed,

mnt@Mark:1:33 @ and the whole town was gathered at the door.

mnt@Mark:1:35 @ In the morning he rose a great while before day and went out to a desert place, and there prayed.

mnt@Mark:1:38 @ "Let us go away," he answered, "to the neighboring country towns, that I may preach there, too; because for that purpose I came forth."

mnt@Mark:1:42 @ The leprosy at once left him, and he was made clean.

mnt@Mark:1:43 @ Jesus immediately sent him away, charging him sternly and saying.

mnt@Mark:1:44 @ "See you say nothing to any one; but go your way, show yourself to the priest, and offer for your purification what Moses commanded for a testimony to them."

mnt@Mark:1:45 @ But he went out and began to tell every one and to publish it broadcast, so that Jesus could no longer enter any town openly; but he had to remain outside in lonely places, and people kept coming to him from every quarter.

mnt@Mark:2:1 @ Some days later when Jesus entered Capernaum again the news spread, "He is in the house";

mnt@Mark:2:2 @ and at once such a crowd gathered that there was no longer room for them, even around the door.

mnt@Mark:2:8 @ Jesus clearly perceived at once be the Spirit that they were thus reasoning in their hearts and said to them.

mnt@Mark:2:10 @ But to let you see that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins" -he said to the paralytic-

mnt@Mark:2:12 @ The man rose, at once took up his cot, and went out before them all; at which they were all astounded, and gave God glory, saying, "We never saw anything like this."

mnt@Mark:2:15 @ Later on Levi was sitting at table in his house, and together with Jesus and his disciples a number of tax-gatherers and sinners were guests, for there were many of them who used to follow him.

mnt@Mark:2:16 @ But when some scribes of the Pharisees saw him eating with the sinners and tax-gatherers, they said to his disciples, "Is he eating and drinking with tax-gatherers and sinners?"

mnt@Mark:2:18 @ Now the disciples of Johnand the Pharisees were keeping a fast, and people came to ask him, "How is it that the disciples of Johnand the Pharisees are fasting, but your disciples are not?"

mnt@Mark:2:20 @ But the days will come when the Bridegroom will be taken away from them; then, on that day, they will fast.

mnt@Mark:2:21 @ No one ever sews a piece of unshrunk cloth onto an old garment, otherwise the patch tears away from it - the new from the old - and a worse tear is made.

mnt@Mark:2:23 @ One Sabbath he was walking along through the wheat-fields, and his disciples, as they began to make their way across, were pulling the heads of wheat.

mnt@Mark:2:24 @ "Look," said the Pharisees to him, "Why are they doing on the Sabbath Day what is against the law?"

mnt@Mark:2:25 @ He answered them. "Have you never read what David did when he was needy and hungry, he and his men?

mnt@Mark:2:26 @ How he went into the house of God when Abiathar was priest, and ate the consecrated bread, which none but priests may eat, and gave some to his men?

mnt@Mark:2:27 @ "The Sabbath," he told them, "was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath;

mnt@Mark:2:28 @ so the Son of man is Master even of the Sabbath."

mnt@Mark:3:2 @ And they kept watching Jesus to see whether he would cure him on the Sabbath; so as to have some charge to bring against him.

mnt@Mark:3:4 @ Then he asked them. "Is it lawful to do good on the Sabbath Day, or to do harm? to save a life, or to destroy it?"

mnt@Mark:3:5 @ They were silent. Then looking around upon them with anger, and deeply grieved by the hardening of their hearts, he said to the man, "Stretch out your hand!" He stretched it out, and the hand was at once completely restored.

mnt@Mark:3:7 @ Then Jesus withdrew to the sea with his disciples; and a great crowd of people from Galilee followed.

mnt@Mark:3:8 @ From Judea, too, and Jerusalem, and Idumea, and from beyond Jordan, and from the district of Tyre and Sidon, they came to him a vast multitude, because they heard what he was doing.

mnt@Mark:3:9 @ So he directed his disciples to keep a little boat in readiness for him, because of the crowd, to prevent their crushing him.

mnt@Mark:3:10 @ For he had healed so many that all the people who had ailments pressed upon him so as to touch him.

mnt@Mark:3:11 @ And whenever the unclean spirits beheld him, they threw themselves down at his feet, screaming out, "You are the Son of God."

mnt@Mark:3:14 @ Twelve of them whom he also called "Apostles," he appointed to be with him, and also that he might send them out to preach,

mnt@Mark:3:17 @ and James(them he surnamed Boanerges, that is, Sons of Thunder),

mnt@Mark:3:18 @ and Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and Jamesthe son of Alphaeus, and Thaddeus, and Simon the Zealot,

mnt@Mark:3:20 @ Then he went into a house, but again such a multitude assembled that they could not get their food.

mnt@Mark:3:21 @ When his relatives heard of it, they came to take possession of him, for they said, "He is out of his mind."

mnt@Mark:3:23 @ So when he had called them to him he spoke to them in parables. "How," said he, "can Satan cast out Satan?

mnt@Mark:3:24 @ If a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand;

mnt@Mark:3:25 @ if a household be divided against itself, that household cannot stand;

mnt@Mark:3:26 @ and if Satan has revolted against himself, and is divided, he cannot stand. Nay, he meets his end!

mnt@Mark:3:28 @ In solemn truth I tell you that the sons of men shall be forgiven all their sins and all the blasphemies they may utter,

mnt@Mark:3:34 @ Then, with a glance at those who were in the circle sitting around him, he added.

mnt@Mark:3:35 @ "Here are my mother and my brothers! Whoever does the will of God, that one is my brother and sister and mother."

mnt@Mark:4:1 @ Afterwards Jesus began to teach by the seaside, and a vast multitude of people gathered about him, so that he went on board a boat on the sea, and sat there, while all the people stayed on shore, at the waters edge.

mnt@Mark:4:4 @ and as he sowed, it happened that some seed fell on the road, and birds came and picked it up;

mnt@Mark:4:7 @ Other seed fell among the thorns, and the thorns sprang up and choked it, so that it yielded no crop.

mnt@Mark:4:8 @ But some seed fell into good soil and yielded a crop that sprang up and increased, yielding thirty, sixty, or a hundredfold.

mnt@Mark:4:12 @ so that, "for all their looking they may not see, and for all their hearing, they may not understand, lest perchance they should turn and be pardoned.

mnt@Mark:4:14 @ "What the Sower sows is the Word. There are those on the wayside where the Word is sown.

mnt@Mark:4:15 @ As soon as they hear it, Satan immediately comes and snatches away the Word which has been sown in them.

mnt@Mark:4:16 @ And like the sowing upon stony ground are those who, whenever they hear the Word, at once receive it with joy,

mnt@Mark:4:17 @ but because they have no root in themselves they last for a time; but when suffering or persecution ensues because of the Word, they at once fall away.

mnt@Mark:4:19 @ When they have heard the Word, the anxieties of life and the snares of wealth, and all sorts of other ambitions, come in to choke the Word, so that it proves unfruitful.

mnt@Mark:4:20 @ But those, on the other hand, who were sown on that good soil, are those who listen to the Word, and welcome it, and bear fruit, thirty, sixty, or a hundredfold."

mnt@Mark:4:21 @ He went on to say. "Is the lamp brought in to be put under the bushel or the bed? Is it not rather to be put on the lamp-stand?

mnt@Mark:4:22 @ There is nothing hidden except what is to be disclosed, and nothing concealed except what is to be revealed.

mnt@Mark:4:24 @ And he said to them. "Take heed what you hear. With what measure you measure it will be measured to you, and more will be given to you.

mnt@Mark:4:25 @ For he who holds, to him will more be given, and he who holds not, from him will be taken even what he holds." "It is with the kingdom of God," he continued, "as if a man should have sown seed in the earth;

mnt@Mark:4:29 @ Then as soon as the crop is ready the man has the sickle put in at once, because harvest-time is come.

mnt@Mark:4:30 @ "To what shall we compare the kingdom of God?" he said again. "in what parable shall we set it forth?

mnt@Mark:4:32 @ yet when sown shoots up and becomes larger than any plant, sending out such branches that the wild birds build their nests under its shadow."

mnt@Mark:4:33 @ With many such illustrations Jesus used to tell his message to people as far as they were able to receive it;

mnt@Mark:4:34 @ and to them it was his practice never to speak except in parables. But he used to explain everything in private to his disciples.

mnt@Mark:4:35 @ On the evening of that same day Jesus said to them, "Let us go across to the other side."

mnt@Mark:4:36 @ So, leaving the crowd behind, they took him with them just as he was in the boat; and the other boats were with him.

mnt@Mark:4:37 @ But a great gale of wind came up, and the waves were dashing into the boat so that it began to fill.

mnt@Mark:4:40 @ The wind fell, and there ensued a great calm. Then he said to them. "Why are you so afraid? Have you still no faith?"

mnt@Mark:4:41 @ Then they were awestruck, and said one to another, "Who can this be, that even the wind and the sea obey him!"

mnt@Mark:5:2 @ and he had no sooner stepped out of the boat, than a man out of the tombs came to meet him, a man with an unclean spirit,

mnt@Mark:5:7 @ and with a shriek he cried out in a loud voice. "Jesus, son of God most high, what business have you with me? I adjure you by God, torment me not!"

mnt@Mark:5:9 @ He continued asking him, "What is your mane?" "Legion is my name, for we are many."

mnt@Mark:5:11 @ Now there was on the hillside a great drove of swine feeding.

mnt@Mark:5:12 @ So the spirits begged him, saying, "Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them."

mnt@Mark:5:14 @ On this the swineherds ran away and spread the news in town and country. So the people went to see what had happened.

mnt@Mark:5:16 @ And those who had been eye-witnesses told them what had happened to the demoniac and to the swine.

mnt@Mark:5:18 @ As he was getting into the boat the man who had been demon-possessed kept begging to go with him; but he said,

mnt@Mark:5:19 @ "Go home to your own people, and tell them what great things God has done for you, and has had mercy upon you."

mnt@Mark:5:20 @ So he went and began to publish abroad in the District of the Ten Towns all that Jesus had done for him; and every one was astonished and all men marveled.

mnt@Mark:5:21 @ Then after Jesus had recrossed in a boat to the other side, a vast multitude came crowding around him; so he stayed on the seashore.

mnt@Mark:5:22 @ Then one of the wardens of the synagogue, named Jairus, came up, and as soon as he saw Jesus, fell at his feet, with many entreaties,

mnt@Mark:5:23 @ "My little daughter," he said, "is dying. I beseech you, come and lay your hands on her, that she may recover and live."

mnt@Mark:5:24 @ So he went with him, and a great crowd followed him and thronged about him.

mnt@Mark:5:26 @ and had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, but was no better; on the contrary, rather grew worse.

mnt@Mark:5:29 @ At once the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was cured of her complaint.

mnt@Mark:5:30 @ Jesus, instantly conscious that the power within him had gone forth, turned about in the crowd, and said, "Who touched my clothes?"

mnt@Mark:5:33 @ and the woman knowing what had happened to her, came in fear and trembling, and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.

mnt@Mark:5:36 @ But Jesus, paying no attention to the remark, said to the warden of the synagogue, "Have no fear, only believe."

mnt@Mark:5:40 @ "The child is not dead, but asleep." And they began to laugh him to scorn. Then he put them all outside, took the father and mother of the child and those he brought with him, and entered the room where the child was lying.

mnt@Mark:5:41 @ Then he took the childs hand and said to her, "Talitha, cumi," that is to say, "Little girl, I am speaking to you; arise!"

mnt@Mark:5:42 @ And instantly the little girl stood up, and began to walk, for she was twelve years old, They were at once beside themselves with utter amazement.

mnt@Mark:5:43 @ He, however, repeatedly cautioned them not to let any one know about it, and directed them to give her something to eat.

mnt@Mark:6:1 @ Jesus left that place, and accompanied by his disciples, came into his own part of the country.

mnt@Mark:6:2 @ When it came Sabbath he began to teach in the synagogue; many, as they listened, were deeply impressed. "Where did he get all this?" they asked; "What is the wisdom that is given to this man, and miracles such as these that happen at his hands?

mnt@Mark:6:4 @ So they disapproved of him. Then Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor except in his native land and among his relatives and in his home."

mnt@Mark:6:5 @ And he was unable to do any miracle there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick folk and healed them.

mnt@Mark:6:6 @ And he wondered at their lack of faith. So he went among the neighboring villages, teaching.

mnt@Mark:6:14 @ King Herod heard it, for the name of Jesus had become well known, People were saying, "Johnthe Baptist is risen from the dead, and on that account these powers are working in him."

mnt@Mark:6:16 @ But when Herod heard, he said, "That Johnwhom I beheaded has come back to life."

mnt@Mark:6:19 @ So Herodias hated him, and wished to put him to death;

mnt@Mark:6:20 @ but she could not, for Herod was afraid of Johnbecause he knew that he was a just and holy man. So he kept him safe. When he listened to Johnhe was much exercised, yet he found pleasure in listening to him.

mnt@Mark:6:22 @ at which the daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced. She charmed Herod and his guests. "Ask me whatever you want," said the king to the young girl, "and I will give it to you."

mnt@Mark:6:23 @ He even swore to her that whatever she asked, he would give it to her, up to half his kingdom.

mnt@Mark:6:24 @ So she came out and said to her mother, "What shall I ask for?" "The head of Johnthe Baptist," she replied.

mnt@Mark:6:25 @ So she at once hurried in to the king and made her request, "I want you," she said, "to give me, without delay, the head of Johnthe Baptist on a charger."

mnt@Mark:6:26 @ Then the king was exceedingly sorry; yet on account of his oaths and his guests he was unwilling to disappoint her.

mnt@Mark:6:27 @ So he sent at once a soldier of the guard with orders to bring his head.

mnt@Mark:6:28 @ And he went and beheaded Johnin prison, brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the young girl, and she gave it to her mother.

mnt@Mark:6:31 @ Then he said to them, "Come apart, yourselves, to a quiet spot, and rest a while." For there were many coming and going, and they could not get time even to eat.

mnt@Mark:6:32 @ So they sailed away privately to a solitary place.

mnt@Mark:6:36 @ Send the people away so that they may go to the farms and villages about here, and buy themselves something to eat."

mnt@Mark:6:40 @ And they sat down like beds in a garden, by hundreds and by fifties.

mnt@Mark:6:43 @ All ate and had enough; and they carried away broken fragments of bread and of fish, enough to fill twelve baskets.

mnt@Mark:6:44 @ Those who ate the bread were five thousand adult men.

mnt@Mark:6:45 @ Then he at once compelled the disciples to embark in the boat and go before him to Bethsaida on the other side, while he sent the people away.

mnt@Mark:6:47 @ And when evening came, the boat was half-way across the sea, while he was on shore alone;

mnt@Mark:6:48 @ but when he saw them distressed in rowing (for the wind was against them), about the fourth watch of the night he went to them, walking upon the sea,

mnt@Mark:6:50 @ But he at once spoke with them, saying. "Courage! It is I. Do not be afraid!"

mnt@Mark:6:51 @ Then he got into the boat beside them, and the wind ceased, and they were utterly astounded,

mnt@Mark:6:53 @ When they had crossed over they landed at Gennesaret and moored to the shore.

mnt@Mark:6:54 @ As soon as they got out of the boat, the people at once recognized him,

mnt@Mark:6:55 @ and began running over that whole country, and carrying the sick about on their beds, wherever they heard he was.

mnt@Mark:7:2 @ They had noticed that some of his disciples were eating with "common," that is to say, unwashed hands.

mnt@Mark:7:3 @ For the Pharisees and all of the Jews do not eat until they have ceremoniously washed their hands in obedience to the tradition of the elders;

mnt@Mark:7:4 @ and when they come from the market-place they do not eat without bathing first. and they have many other customs which they have received and observe, such as the washing of cups and jugs and copper pans.

mnt@Mark:7:5 @ So the Pharisees and Scribes asked him. "Why do your disciples not follow the traditions of the elders? Why do they eat with common unwashed hands?"

mnt@Mark:7:9 @ "It is praiseworthy, is it," he exclaimed, "to reject the command of God that you may keep your tradition!

mnt@Mark:7:10 @ For although Moses said, Honor your father and mother, and Let him who curses father or mother suffer death,

mnt@Mark:7:11 @ you say that if a man tells his father or mother, This money which otherwise you would have received from me, is Korban (that is, a thing devoted to God),

mnt@Mark:7:12 @ you exempt him from doing any service for his father or mother.

mnt@Mark:7:13 @ Thus by your tradition which you have handed down you set at naught the word of God; and you do many other things like that."

mnt@Mark:7:15 @ "Listen to me, all of you, and understand; there is nothing outside a man which by entering in can defile him; but it is what comes from him that defiled him."

mnt@Mark:7:18 @ "Are even you without understanding?" he said. "Do you not perceive that nothing whatever from without can defile a man by entering him,

mnt@Mark:7:20 @ "What comes out of a man," he continued, "is what defiles him.

mnt@Mark:7:22 @ fornication, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, wantonness, envy, slander, arrogance, reckless folly -

mnt@Mark:7:24 @ After he rose and left that place, he went away into the region of Tyre and Sidon. Here he went into a house and wished no one to know it but he could not be hid.

mnt@Mark:7:25 @ Forthwith a woman whose little daughter was possessed by an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet

mnt@Mark:7:29 @ "For that saying of yours, go home," he replied; "the demon has departed from your daughter."

mnt@Mark:7:34 @ then looking up to heaven with a sigh, he said to him, "Ephphatha!" (that is, "Be opened.")

mnt@Mark:8:1 @ In those days when a large crowd had again assembled and had nothing to eat, Jesus called together his disciples and said to them.

mnt@Mark:8:2 @ "My heart aches for the crowd, because they have remained with me three days now, and they have nothing to eat;

mnt@Mark:8:8 @ They ate and were filled and they took up of broken pieces that were left, seven hampers.

mnt@Mark:8:9 @ They that had eaten were about four thousand.

mnt@Mark:8:10 @ Then he sent them away, got at once into the boat with his disciples. and came into the district of Dalmanutha.

mnt@Mark:8:12 @ At this Jesus sighed deeply in his spirit, and said. "Why does the present generation seek a sign? In solemn truth I tell you that no sign shall be given this generation."

mnt@Mark:8:13 @ Then he left them, and getting into the boat again, went away to the other side,

mnt@Mark:8:14 @ Now they had forgotten to take bread, and had not in the boat with them more than one loaf.

mnt@Mark:8:15 @ So he gave them this warning. "Look out! Be on the watch against the leaven of the Pharisees, and the leaven of Herod."

mnt@Mark:8:28 @ And they told him. "Some say Johnthe Baptist, others, Elijah, and others that you are one of the prophets."

mnt@Mark:8:31 @ and he began to explain to them that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and the chief priests, and the Scribes, and be put to death,and after two days rise again.

mnt@Mark:8:33 @ But he turned round, and looked upon his disciples, and rebuked Peter. "Get thee behind me, Satan," he said, "for your thoughts are not Gods thoughts, but mans."

mnt@Mark:8:36 @ For what shall it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his own life?

mnt@Mark:8:37 @ Or what shall a man give in exchange for his life?

mnt@Mark:8:38 @ Whoever is ashamed of me and my words in this unfaithful and wicked generation, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels."

mnt@Mark:9:1 @ "In solemn truth I tell you," he said, "there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the kingdom of God, come with power."

mnt@Mark:9:2 @ Six days later Jesus took with him Peter and Jamesand John, and brought them by themselves up a high mountain apart from the rest.

mnt@Mark:9:6 @ (For he did not know what to say, they were so awestruck.)

mnt@Mark:9:9 @ As they came down the mountain he strictly forbade them to narrate to any one what they had seen, until after the Son of man had risen from the dead.

mnt@Mark:9:10 @ This order they faithfully kept, questioning among themselves what "rising again from the dead" meant.

mnt@Mark:9:11 @ So they asked him, "How is it that the Scribes say that Elijah must first come?"

mnt@Mark:9:12 @ "Elijah does indeed first come," he said, "and restores all things, But how is it written about the Son of Man, that he will endure great suffering, and be rejected?

mnt@Mark:9:13 @ "Elijah indeed has already come," he added, "and they have done to him whatever they pleased, even as it is written of him."

mnt@Mark:9:14 @ When they rejoined the disciples they saw a great crowd surrounding them, and some Scribes disputing with them.

mnt@Mark:9:16 @ He asked them, "What are you discussing with them?"

mnt@Mark:9:18 @ and wherever it seizes him it dashes him down; he foams at the mouth, and grinds his teeth, and is wasting away. I begged your disciples to cast it out, but they could not."

mnt@Mark:9:19 @ "O unbelieving generation!" replied Jesus; "how long must I be with you? How long must I be patient with you? Bring him to me."

mnt@Mark:9:20 @ So they brought the boy to him, and when he saw Jesus, the spirit at once convulsed him, and he fell to the ground and wallowed, foaming at the mouth.

mnt@Mark:9:21 @ Then Jesus asked the father, "How long has he been like this?"

mnt@Mark:9:22 @ "From childhood," he answered; "and often it has thrown him into the fire and into the water, to destroy him; but if you can do anything, take pity on us and help us."

mnt@Mark:9:24 @ The boys father with a cry said instantly. "I do believe; help my unbelief."

mnt@Mark:9:25 @ And when Jesus saw that a crowd came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit. "You dumb and deaf spirit," he said, "come out of him, I command you, and never enter him again."

mnt@Mark:9:26 @ So with a loud shriek it came out, after throwing the boy into convulsion after convulsion. The boy looked like a corpse, so that most of them said that he was dead.

mnt@Mark:9:28 @ When Jesus had gone into the house, his disciples asked him in private, "Why could not we cast it out?"

mnt@Mark:9:30 @ Jesus and his disciples, after leaving that place, passed through Galilee; but he was unwilling that any one should know it,

mnt@Mark:9:31 @ for he was explaining to his disciples that the Son of man was to be betrayed into the hands of men, and that they would put him to death, but that after he had been put to death, he would rise again after three days,

mnt@Mark:9:33 @ Then they came to Capernaum; and when he got into the house he asked them, "What were you discussing on the road?"

mnt@Mark:9:34 @ But they were silent, for on the road they were disputing together which one was greatest.

mnt@Mark:9:35 @ So he sat down and called the Twelve, and said to them, "If any one wishes to be first, he must be last of all, and the servant of all."

mnt@Mark:9:41 @ For whoever gives you even a cup of water to drink because you belong to Christ, in solemn truth I tell you, that he shall certainly not lose his reward.

mnt@Mark:9:42 @ "And if any one shall cause one of these little ones who believe on me to stumble, it would be better for him if he were thrown out into the sea with a great millstone about his neck.

mnt@Mark:9:43 @ "If your hand cause you to stumble, cut it off! It is better to be maimed and to enter into life than to have two hands and go away into hell, into the fire that cannot be put out.

mnt@Mark:9:47 @ If your eye cause you to stumble, tear it out! It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God one-eyed that to keep both your eyes and be cast into hell,

mnt@Mark:10:1 @ On leaving that place Jesus came into the borders of Judea, on the other side of the Jordan, Once more the people flocked about him, and again, as usual, he began teaching them.

mnt@Mark:10:3 @ "What did Moses command you?" he replied,

mnt@Mark:10:4 @ "Moses," said they, "permitted a man to draw up a bill of separation and divorce her."

mnt@Mark:10:5 @ But Jesus said to them. "Moses gave you that command because of the hardness of your hearts;

mnt@Mark:10:17 @ As he started to go forth into the road, a man came running up to him, and knelt down before him. "Good Teacher," he asked, "what must I do to inherit eternal life?"

mnt@Mark:10:19 @ You know the commandments. Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not bear false witness, do not cheat, honor your father and mother."

mnt@Mark:10:21 @ Jesus loved him as he looked at him, and said. "One thing you lack. Go, sell all you have and give to the poor; and you shall have wealth in heaven; and come, follow me."

mnt@Mark:10:22 @ But his face fell at these words, and he went away saddened, for he was one who had great wealth.

mnt@Mark:10:24 @ The disciples were amazed at his words. Jesus looked around and said again to them.

mnt@Mark:10:27 @ When he had looked at them, Jesus said, "With men it is impossible, but not with God, for all things are possible with God."

mnt@Mark:10:33 @ "See," said he, "we are going up to Jerusalem and the Son of man will be betrayed to the high priests and the Scribes. They will condemn him to death, and will hand him over to the Gentiles,

mnt@Mark:10:35 @ Presently there came up to him Jamesand John, the sons of Zebedee, and said, "Teacher, we wish you would do for us whatever we ask you."

mnt@Mark:10:36 @ "What is it you want me to do for you?" said he.

mnt@Mark:10:37 @ They answered, "Allow us to sit, one at your right hand, and the other at your left hand, in your glory."

mnt@Mark:10:38 @ "You know not what you are asking," said Jesus. "Can you drink the cup that I drink, or be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?"

mnt@Mark:10:39 @ They answered him, "We can." "You shall indeed drink the cup that I drink, and with the baptism that I am baptized with shall you be baptized,

mnt@Mark:10:40 @ but a seat upon my right hand or my left is not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been reserved."

mnt@Mark:10:41 @ When they heard this the ten began to be indignant at Jamesand John, so Jesus called them to him and said.

mnt@Mark:10:42 @ "You know that those who are regarded as rulers among the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones make them feel their authority.

mnt@Mark:10:43 @ Not so shall it be among you. On the contrary whoever would become great among you shall be your servant;

mnt@Mark:10:47 @ Hearing that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began shouting and saying, "Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me!"

mnt@Mark:10:51 @ "What do you want me to do?" said Jesus, addressing him. And the blind man answered, "O Rabboni, that I might receive my sight!"

mnt@Mark:10:52 @ "Go," said Jesus, "your own faith has saved you," and immediately he received his sight, and began to follow Jesus along the road.

mnt@Mark:11:1 @ Now when they were approaching Jerusalem, near Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives,

mnt@Mark:11:2 @ Jesus sent two of his disciples and told them. "Go to that village in front of you, and immediately on entering it you will find a colt tied, upon which no man has ever sat; untie him and bring him here.

mnt@Mark:11:5 @ And some of the bystanders began to say to them, "What are you trying to do, untying that colt?"

mnt@Mark:11:7 @ Then they brought the colt to Jesus, and when they had thrown cloaks upon it, Jesus seated himself on it.

mnt@Mark:11:10 @ Blessed be the coming kingdom of our father David! Hosanna, in the highest!"

mnt@Mark:11:11 @ Then he entered Jerusalem and went into the Temple, and after he had looked around at everything, as the hour was now late, he went out to Bethany with the Twelve.

mnt@Mark:11:14 @ So, addressing the tree, he said, "Let no man ever more eat fruit from you." And the disciples heard it.

mnt@Mark:11:17 @ "Is it not written," he said, "My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations? But you have made it a den of robbers."

mnt@Mark:11:18 @ The chief priests and the Scribes heard this, and they began to seek means of destroying him; for they were afraid of him because all the crowd were greatly struck with his teaching.

mnt@Mark:11:29 @ "And I will put one question to you," replied Jesus. "Answer this, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.

mnt@Mark:11:33 @ So their answer to Jesus was, "We do not know." "Neither will I tell you," said Jesus, "by what authority I do these things."

mnt@Mark:12:2 @ At vintage-time he sent a slave to the vine-dressers to collect some of the proceeds of the vineyard;

mnt@Mark:12:5 @ And he sent another; and him they killed; and many others; beating some, and killing some.

mnt@Mark:12:12 @ And they kept seeking to lay hold on him, but were afraid of the crowd, for they knew well that he had spoken this parable about them; so they left him and went away.

mnt@Mark:12:13 @ But they sent some of the Pharisees to Jesus afterward, and some of the Herodians to entrap him in conversation.

mnt@Mark:12:14 @ So when they came, they said. "Teacher, we know that you are sincere and are not afraid of any one, for you do not regard the face of men; nay, but you reach the way of God in truth. Is it right to pay poll- tax to Caesar or not?

mnt@Mark:12:31 @ "The second is this, "Thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself. Other command greater than these there is none."

mnt@Mark:12:32 @ "Admirably said, O Teacher," exclaimed the Scribe. "You have truthfully said that He is one,

mnt@Mark:12:34 @ Jesus saw that he had answered with discrimination, and said to him, "You are not far from the kingdom of God." After that no one ventured to question him.

mnt@Mark:12:35 @ While he was teaching in the Temple courts, Jesus in his turn asked. "How is it that the Scribes say that the Christ is the son of David?

mnt@Mark:12:36 @ David himself said in the Holy Spirit, "The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand until I make thy foes the footstool of thy feet.

mnt@Mark:12:40 @ they who consume the property of widows and make long, pretentious prayers. The greater shall their condemnation be."

mnt@Mark:12:41 @ Then Jesus took his seat opposite the treasury and watched the people putting their offerings into the chest. Many rich people were putting in large sums.

mnt@Mark:12:43 @ On this he called his disciples to him, and said. "I tell you solemnly that this poor widow has put in more than all who have put their offerings into the treasury;

mnt@Mark:12:44 @ for they have all put in what they could spare out of their surplus, but she, out of her penury, has put in all that she possessed, her whole living."

mnt@Mark:13:1 @ As Jesus was walking out of the Temple courts, one of his disciples said to him, "Look, Teacher, what wonderful stones and buildings these are!"

mnt@Mark:13:3 @ When he had seated himself on the Mount of Olives, facing the Temple, Peter and Jamesand Johnand Andrew asked him privately,

mnt@Luke:5:6 @ And when they had done this they enclosed a great multitude of fish; and their nets began to break.

mnt@Luke:5:7 @ So they motioned to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. They came and filled both boats, so that they began to sink.

mnt@Luke:5:15 @ But all the more the report about him continued to spread; and great crowds began to come together to hear him, and to be healed of their infirmities.

mnt@Luke:5:27 @ After this he went forth and noticed a tax-gatherer, named Levi, sitting at the tax-office, and said to him, "Follow me."

mnt@Luke:5:29 @ Levi also made him a great reception at his house. There was a large party of tax-gatherers and others who were dining with them.

mnt@Luke:5:30 @ And the Pharisees and their scribes began complaining to his disciples, saying, "Why are you eating and drinking with tax- gatherers and sinners?"

mnt@Luke:5:33 @ Again they said unto him. "Why do the disciples of Johnfast frequently, and make supplications, as also do the disciples of the Pharisees, but your disciples are eating and drinking?"

mnt@Luke:5:35 @ "But there is coming a day when the Bridegroom will have been taken away from them; then at that time they will fast."

mnt@Luke:5:36 @ He also told them a parable. "No one," he said, "tears a piece from a new garment, and patches it upon an old one; otherwise he will tear the new garment, and the patch from the new will not mend the old.

mnt@Luke:6:7 @ Now the Scribes and Pharisees kept watching to see if he would heal on the Sabbath, so that they might be able to bring on accusations to him.

mnt@Luke:6:9 @ So he rose and stood. Then Jesus said to them. "I ask you whether it is lawful on the Sabbath Day to do good or to do harm? To save a life or to destroy it?"

mnt@Luke:6:11 @ He did so; and his hand was restored. But they were filled with fury, and they began to talk over together what they could do to Jesus.

mnt@Luke:6:12 @ It happened about that time that he went out into the mountain to pray. He continued all night in prayer to God.

mnt@Luke:6:15 @ Philip and Bartholomew; Mathew and Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon called the Zealot;

mnt@John:3:25 @ Then some of Johns disciples got into a controversy with a Jew in regard to purification; so they came to John and said to him.

mnt@John:4:5 @ so he came to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near the piece of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

mnt@John:4:7 @ It was about noon, and a woman of Samaria came to draw water.

mnt@John:4:9 @ "How is it," answered the Samaritan woman, "that you who are a Jew ask a drink from me, a woman, and a Samaritan?" (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)

mnt@John:4:10 @ "If you had known the free gift of God," Jesus answered, "and who it is that says to you, Give me a drink, you would have asked of him, and he would have given you living water."

mnt@John:4:11 @ "Sir," said the woman, "you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep; whence have you that living water?

mnt@John:4:12 @ Surely you are not greater than our Father Jacob, who gave us the well, and used to drink from it himself, and his sons, and his cattle, too?"

mnt@John:4:13 @ "All who drink of this water," Jesus answered, "will thirst again;

mnt@John:4:14 @ but whoever once drinks of the water that I will give him, shall never thirst any more, but the water that I will give him shall become a living spring of water within him, welling up into eternal life."

mnt@John:4:15 @ "Sir!" exclaimed the woman, "give me this water, so that I may not be thirsty, nor come all this way to draw water."

mnt@John:4:19 @ "I see, Sir, that you are a prophet," replied the woman.

mnt@John:4:20 @ "Our forefathers worshiped in this mountain, yet you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where one must worship."

mnt@John:4:21 @ "Woman, believe me," said Jesus, "that the hour is coming when neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.

mnt@John:4:22 @ You are worshiping something you do not know. we know what we worship, for salvation comes from the Jews.

mnt@John:4:23 @ But an hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth. For the Father is seeking such as his worshipers.

mnt@John:4:25 @ "I know," said the woman, "that Messiah is coming, who is called the Christ; when he has come he will tell us everything."

mnt@John:4:27 @ Just then his disciples came up, and were astonished that he was talking with a woman; yet not one of them asked him, "What do you want?" or "Why are you talking with her?"

mnt@John:4:28 @ Then the woman left her water-jar, and went away into the city and began saying to the people.

mnt@John:4:29 @ "Come! see a man who has told me everything that I ever did. He cant be the Christ, can he?"

mnt@John:4:32 @ "Rabbi," they said, "eat something." But he answered, "I have food to eat of which you know nothing."

mnt@John:4:33 @ So the disciples began to say to one another, "Can any one have brought him something to eat?"

mnt@John:4:35 @ Do you not say, It wants yet four months, and then comes the harvest?Look, I tell you! Lift up your eyes and behold the fields, that they are already white for harvest.

mnt@John:4:36 @ The reaper is already receiving wages and gathering a crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may rejoice together.

mnt@John:4:39 @ Many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him because of the word of the woman when she declared, "He told me everything that I ever did."

mnt@John:4:41 @ Then many more believed because of what he said, himself; and they told the woman.

mnt@John:4:42 @ "We no longer believe because of what you said. for we ourselves have heard him, and we know that this is certainly the Saviour of the world."

mnt@John:4:44 @ For Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.

mnt@John:4:45 @ When he reached Galilee, however, the Galileans welcomed him, for they had seen all that he did in Jerusalem at the feast; for they, too, had been at the feast.

mnt@John:4:46 @ So he came back again to Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. Now there was one of the kings officers whose son was lying ill at Capernaum.

mnt@John:4:47 @ When he heard that Jesus had come from Judea into Galilee, he went to him, and begged him to come down and heal his son who was lying at the point of death.

mnt@John:4:51 @ And when he was already on his way down, his slaves met him, saying that his boy was living.

mnt@John:4:52 @ So he asked them at what hour he had begun mend. They answered, "Yesterday, about one oclock, the fever left him."

mnt@John:4:53 @ Then the father realized that it had left him at the very hour when Jesus had said to him, "Your son lives," and he himself believed, and his whole household.

mnt@John:5:2 @ Now there is in Jerusalem a pool near the Sheep-gate, called in the Hebrew, Bethesda.

mnt@John:5:3 @ It has five colonnades. In these there used to lie a great crowd of sick people - blind, lame, paralyzed.

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

mnt@John:5:7 @ "Sir," answered the sick man, "I have no man to put me into the pool whenever the water is troubled; and while I am trying to come, some one else steps down before me."

mnt@John:5:9 @ Instantly the man became well, and he took up his bed and started to walk. Now it was Sabbath on that day;

mnt@John:5:10 @ so the Jews kept saying to the man who had been cured. "It is the Sabbath Day; it is not lawful for you to carry your bed."

mnt@John:5:12 @ "Who is it," they asked, "that said to you, take up your bed and go walking away?"

mnt@John:5:13 @ But he who had been healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had moved away, as there was a crowd in that place.

mnt@John:5:15 @ The man went to and told the Jews that it was Jesus who made him well;

mnt@John:5:16 @ and because of this the Jews began to persecute Jesus, because he had done it on the Sabbath.

mnt@John:5:17 @ But he answered them, "My Father has continued working until now, and I am working too."

mnt@John:5:18 @ For this reason the Jews continued to seek the more eagerly to put him to death, because not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was actually speaking of God as his own Father, thus making himself of Gods equal.

mnt@John:5:19 @ So Jesus answered them in these words. "In solemn truth I tell that the Son cannot do anything of himself, except what he sees the Father doing; for whatever he does, that the Son does also.

mnt@John:5:20 @ "For the Father loves the Son, and shows him every thing that he himself is doing. And greater deeds than these will he show him, that you may wonder.

mnt@John:5:21 @ "For just as the Father raises the dead and makes them alive, even so the Son makes whom he will alive.

mnt@John:5:22 @ "The Father indeed does not judge any one, but has given all judgment to the Son,

mnt@John:5:26 @ "For as the Father has life in himself, so also has he granted to the Son to have life in himself.

mnt@John:5:28 @ "Do not wonder at this, because an hour is coming in which all who are in their graves shall hear his voice and shall come forth again;

mnt@John:6:2 @ A great crowd were following him, because they witnessed the signs which he was continually performing among those who were ill.

mnt@John:6:3 @ Then Jesus walked up the hills and sat down there with his disciples. Now the Jewish feast, the Passover, was at hand.

mnt@John:6:4 @ Accordingly when he looked up, and perceived a great crowd was coming unto him,

mnt@John:6:5 @ he said to Philip, "Where shall we buy bread for these people to eat?"

mnt@John:6:6 @ He said this to test him, for he himself knew what he intended to do.

mnt@John:6:7 @ "Thirty-five dollars worth of bread," answered Philip, "is not enough for them, so that each can take a morsel."

mnt@John:6:9 @ "There is a lad who has five barley loaves and a couple of fish; but what is that among so many?"

mnt@John:6:10 @ "Make the men sit down," said Jesus. The ground was covered with thick grass; so the men sat down, in numbers about five thousand. "of righteousness, because I am going to my Father, and you will no longer see me;

mnt@John:6:11 @ Then Jesus took the loaves, and when he had given thanks he distributed them among those who were seated; in like manner also of the fish, as much as they wished,

mnt@John:6:12 @ and when they were satisfied, he said to his disciples, "Gather up the fragments that are left, so that nothing may be wasted."

mnt@John:6:13 @ So they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves - the broken pieces that were left after they had eaten.

mnt@John:6:15 @ When Jesus perceived that they intended to seize him in order to make him a king, he retired again to the hill all by himself.

mnt@John:6:17 @ There they got in a boat, and started across the sea for Capernaum. The darkness had already fallen,

mnt@John:6:19 @ After they had rowed three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking upon the sea, and drawing near to the boat, and they were terrified;

mnt@John:6:21 @ Then they were willing to take him on board, and immediately the boat reached the shore they were making for.

mnt@John:6:22 @ The crowd that remained on the other side of the sea had seen that there was only one small boat there, and that Jesus had not gone aboard with his disciples, but that his disciples had gone away by themselves.

mnt@John:7:52 @ In answer they said to him. "You are not from Galilee, are you? Search for yourself, and see that from Galilee arises no prophet."

mnt@John:8:2 @ At dawn, however, he came back to the Temple, where the people came to him in crowds. He had taken his seat and was teaching them,

mnt@John:8:5 @ "Now Moses, in the Law, has commanded us to stone such creatures. But you, what do you say?"

mnt@John:8:6 @ (This they said to tempt him, so that they could bring a charge against him.)

mnt@John:8:7 @ But Jesus stooped down, and began to write on the ground with his finger. When they continued to question him, he raised himself and said to them, "Let the innocent man among you be the first to throw the stone at her."

mnt@John:8:9 @ When they heard that, they went out one by one, beginning with the eldest. And Jesus was left behind alone - and the woman in the middle of the court.

mnt@John:8:16 @ "Though even if I do judge, my judgment is trustworthy, because I am not alone, but the Father who sent me is with me.

mnt@John:8:17 @ "And in your Law it is written that the testimony of two men is true.

mnt@John:8:19 @ "Where is your Father?" they asked him. "You have neither known me nor my Father," answered Jesus. "If you had known me, you would have known my father also."

mnt@John:8:22 @ Then the Jews said. "He will not kill himself, will he? Is that why he says, Where I am going you cannot come?"

mnt@John:8:24 @ "That is why I said that you would die in your sins. For if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins."

mnt@John:8:25 @ "Who are you?" then they asked him. "What I am telling you from the beginning," Jesus answered.

mnt@John:8:27 @ They did not understand that he meant the Father,

mnt@John:8:28 @ so Jesus added. "When you lifted up the Son of man, then you will know that I am He; and that I do nothing on my own authority, but that I speak just as the Father has taught me,

mnt@John:8:29 @ "and he who sent me is with me. He has not left me alone, for I do always the things that please him."

mnt@John:8:31 @ So Jesus spoke to the Jews that believed him, saying. "If you abide in my teaching, you are my true disciples;

mnt@John:8:33 @ "We are descendants of Abraham," they replied, "and have never been in slavery to any man. What do you mean by saying, You shall become free?"

mnt@John:8:38 @ "I am declaring what I have seen with the Father, and you are acting as you have learned from your father."

mnt@John:8:39 @ "Abraham is our father," they answered. "If you are indeed Abrahams children," said Jesus "do the deeds of Abraham.

mnt@John:8:41 @ "You are doing the deeds of your father." "We were not born of adultery," they said; "we have one Father, God."

mnt@John:8:42 @ Jesus said to them. "If God were your Father, you would love me, for I proceeded forth and am now come from God. I did not come on my own authority, but God himself sent me.

mnt@John:8:43 @ "How is it that you do not understand what I say? It is because you cannot listen to my message.

mnt@John:8:44 @ "You are of your father, the devil, and you want to do what your father desires.

mnt@John:8:45 @ "But as for me, it is because I speak the truth to you that you do not believe me.

mnt@John:8:48 @ In reply the Jews said to him, "Are we not right in saying that you are a Samaritan, and you also have a demon?"

mnt@John:8:49 @ "I do not have a demon," said Jesus, "but I am honoring my Father, and you are dishonoring me.

mnt@John:8:51 @ "In solemn truth I tell you that if any one obeys my teaching he shall never behold death."

mnt@John:8:52 @ "Now we know that you have a demon," exclaimed the Jews. Abraham died, and so did the prophets; and yet you say, If any man obeys my teaching he shall never taste death.

mnt@John:8:53 @ "You are not greater than our father Abraham, are you? And he died, and the prophets died. Who are you making yourself out to be?"

mnt@John:8:54 @ "If I glorify myself." said Jesus, "my glory is nothing. It is my Father that glorifies me, and you say, He is our God.

mnt@John:8:58 @ "In solemn truth I tell you," answered Jesus, "that before Abraham came into existence, I am."

mnt@John:8:59 @ Then they picked up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out of the Temple.

mnt@John:9:2 @ "Rabbi," his disciples asked him, "who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?"

mnt@John:9:3 @ "Neither he nor his parents sinned." replied Jesus; "it happened that the works of God might be made manifest in him.

mnt@John:9:4 @ "I must work the works of him that sent me while it is day; night is coming, when no man can work.

mnt@John:9:6 @ When he had thus spoken he spat on the ground, and made clay with the spittle, and smeared the clay on the mans eyes.

mnt@John:9:14 @ Now it was on the Sabbath that Jesus had made clay and opened his eyes;

mnt@John:9:16 @ Then some of the Pharisees began to say, "This man in not from God, because he does not keep the Sabbath." But others said, "How can a man who is a sinner perform such signs?"

mnt@John:9:17 @ So there was a difference of opinion among them. Accordingly they said to the blind man, "What have you to say about him, now that he has opened your eyes?" "He is a prophet," he answered.

mnt@John:9:18 @ The Jews, however, did not believe about him that he was blind and had received his sight, until they called the parents of the man whose sight had been restored,

mnt@John:9:20 @ Then in reply his parents said. "We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;

mnt@John:9:22 @ This his parents said because they were afraid of the Jews, for the Jews had already agreed that if any one should confess that he was the Christ, he should be expelled from the synagogue.

mnt@John:9:23 @ It was because this that his parents said. "He is of age. Ask him, himself."

mnt@John:9:25 @ "Give glory to God! we know that this man is a sinner." Upon this the blind man answered. "I do not know if he is a sinner. One thing I do know, that once I was blind, and know I can see."

mnt@John:9:26 @ "What was it he did to you?" they asked him; "How did he open your eyes?"

mnt@John:9:27 @ He answered. "I have told you already, and you did not listen. Why do you wish to hear it again? Can it be that you, too, wish to become his disciples?"

mnt@John:9:28 @ Then they stormed at him. "You are his disciple. We are Moses disciples.

mnt@John:9:29 @ "We know that God spoke to Moses. But this fellow! We do not know where he comes from."

mnt@John:9:30 @ "This is truly astonishing," said the man in reply, "that you do not know where he is from, and yet he has opened my eyes.

mnt@John:9:31 @ "We know that God does not listen to sinners, but if any one is God- fearing and does his will, to such he listens.

mnt@John:9:35 @ Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said, "Do you believe in the Son of man?"

mnt@John:9:36 @ "Who is he, Sir," he replied, "that I may believe on him."

mnt@John:9:38 @ "I do believe, Sir," said the man, and he prostrated himself at his feet. And Jesus said,

mnt@John:10:1 @ "In solemn truth I tell you that whoever does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way, that man is a thief and a robber;

mnt@John:10:22 @ Then came the feast of the Dedication at Jerusalem.

mnt@John:10:38 @ "But if I am doing them, then though you believe not me, believe the deeds, in order that you may come to know and keep on clearly understanding that the Father is in me and I am in the Father."

mnt@John:10:39 @ Then again they attempted to seize him, but he escaped out of their hands,

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

mnt@John:11:4 @ When Jesus heard it he said, "This illness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that through it the Son of God may be glorified."

mnt@John:11:6 @ However, when he heard that he was ill,

mnt@John:11:7 @ he still remained where he was for two days; then after that he said to his disciples, "Let us go back again to Judea."

mnt@John:11:8 @ "Rabbi," answered his disciples, "it was but just now that the Jews were trying to stone you, and are you going there again?"

mnt@John:11:13 @ Now Jesus had been speaking concerning his death, but they thought that he was talking about natural sleep.

mnt@John:11:15 @ "Lazarus is dead; and for your sakes I am glad I was not there, in order that you may believe. Come, let us go to him."

mnt@John:11:16 @ Upon this Thomas, who was called "The Twin," said to his fellow disciples, "Let us go too, that we may die with him."

mnt@John:11:17 @ so when Jesus arrived, he found that Lazarus had already been four days in the tomb.

mnt@John:11:19 @ so a number of the Jews had gone to Martha and Mary to sympathize with them concerning their brother.

mnt@John:11:20 @ So when Martha learned that Jesus was coming, she went to meet him, but Mary remained sitting in the house.

mnt@John:11:22 @ but even now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you."

mnt@John:11:24 @ Martha answered, "I know that he will rise in the resurrection, at the Last Day."

mnt@John:11:27 @ "Yes, Master," she answered, "I have come to believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world."

mnt@John:11:28 @ With these words she went away to call her sister Mary, saying privately, "The Teacher is here and is asking for you."

mnt@John:11:30 @ Jesus had not yet arrived in the village, but was still at the place where Martha met him.

mnt@John:11:31 @ Then the Jews who were in the house trying to console her, when they saw that Mary rose quickly and went out, followed her, because they thought she was going to the tomb to weep there.

mnt@John:11:32 @ When Mary came to the place where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell at his feet, saying, "Master had you been here, my brother would not have died."

mnt@John:11:33 @ Then when Jesus saw her sobbing, and the Jews likewise who accompanied her, sobbing, he shuddered with indignation in his spirit, and was deeply agitated.

mnt@John:11:38 @ Jesus therefore, again shuddering in himself with indignation, came to the tomb, which was a cave with a stone lying upon it.

mnt@John:11:40 @ Jesus answered her, "Did I not tell you that if you would believe you should see the glory of God?"

mnt@John:11:42 @ "Father, I thank thee that thou hast listened to me. And I knew that thou art ever listening to me, but for the sake of the crowd who are standing about, I said it, in order that they may believe that thou hast sent me."

mnt@John:11:43 @ When he had said this he cried with a great voice, "Lazarus, come forth!"

mnt@John:11:45 @ Many of the Jews, therefore, who had come with Mary, and had seen what he did, believed on him;

mnt@John:11:46 @ but some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.

mnt@John:11:48 @ "What are we going to do?" they said, "now that this man is performing many signs?" If we leave him alone, this way, every one will believe on him, and the Romans will come and rob us of both our sacred place and of our people."

mnt@John:11:49 @ But one of their number, Caiaphas by name, who was high priest that year, said to them,

mnt@John:11:50 @ "You know nothing at all, nor do you consider that it is expedient for you that one man should die for the people, rather than the whole nation be destroyed."

mnt@John:11:51 @ now he did not say this of his own accord; but as high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus was about to die in behalf of the nation,

mnt@John:11:52 @ and not in behalf of the nation alone, but in order that he might gather into one the widely scattered children of God.

mnt@John:11:53 @ So from that day they plotted to kill him.

mnt@John:11:55 @ and there remained with his disciples. Now the Jewish Passover was near, and many people went up from the country to Jerusalem for purification before the Passover.

mnt@John:11:56 @ So they kept looking for Jesus and saying to one another, as they stood in the Temple, "What do you think - that he will not come to the feast at all?"

mnt@John:11:57 @ Now the chief priests and Pharisees had given orders that if any one knew where he was. he should give information, so that they might arrest him.

mnt@John:12:2 @ So they gave a dinner for him there, and Martha served it; but Lazarus was one of those who reclined with him at table.

mnt@John:12:7 @ used to purloin what was put in it. Then said Jesus. "Let her alone. Against the day of my burial has she kept this;

mnt@John:12:11 @ because it was on his account that many of the Jews were leaving them, and beginning to believe on Jesus.

mnt@John:12:12 @ Next day the big crowd who had come up for the Passover heard that Jesus was coming into Jerusalem,

mnt@John:12:14 @ And Jesus found a young ass and seated himself on it, as it is written,

mnt@John:12:15 @ Fear not, daughter of Zion, Behold thy King cometh seated upon an asss colt.

mnt@John:12:16 @ His disciples did not understand these things at first; but when Jesus had been glorified, then they remembered that these things had been written concerning him, and what they had done to him.

mnt@John:12:23 @ "The hour is come that the Son of man should be glorified.

mnt@John:12:30 @ "It is not for my sake," answered Jesus, "that the voice came, but for your sakes.

mnt@John:12:33 @ (In saying this he was signifying by what kind of death he was to die.)

mnt@John:21:12 @ "Come and have breakfast," said Jesus to them. Not one of the disciples dared ask him, "Who are you?" Knowing that it was the Lord.

mnt@John:21:14 @ This was the third time that Jesus showed himself to the disciples after he had risen from among the dead.

mnt@John:21:15 @ When they were through breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these others do?" "Yes, Lord, you know that you are dear to me." he answered. Jesus said to him, "Feed my lambs."

mnt@John:21:16 @ He said to him a second time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" He answered, "Yes, Lord, you know that you are dear to me." "Be a shepherd to my sheep," said Jesus.

mnt@Acts:18:22 @ Then, setting sail from Ephesus, he landed at Caesarea; he went up to Jerusalem and saluted the church, and came down to Antioch.

mnt@Acts:18:23 @ After spending some time there, he set out and went through the region of Galatia and Phrygia, in order, and strengthened all the disciples.

mnt@Acts:18:24 @ Now a certain Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, a learned man and mighty in the Scriptures, came to Ephesus.

mnt@Acts:18:25 @ He had been instructed in the ways of the Lord, and being full of zeal, he used to speak and to teach accurately the facts about Jesus, although he knew only the baptism of John.

mnt@Acts:19:2 @ "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?" he asked them. "No" said they, "we did not even hear that there is a Holy Spirit."

mnt@Acts:19:3 @ "Into what, then, were you baptized?" he asked. And they said, "Into the baptism of John."

mnt@Acts:23:5 @ "Brothers, I did not know that he was the high priest," exclaimed Paul, "for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of a ruler of my people."

mnt@Acts:23:6 @ Then perceiving that half the Sanhedrin were Sadducees and the other half Pharisee, he cried out in the Sanhedrin. "Brothers, I am a Pharisee, the son of Pharisees! It is for the hope of the resurrection of the dead that I am on trial!"

mnt@Acts:23:8 @ For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel nor spirit; the Pharisees affirm them all.

mnt@Acts:23:9 @ Then a great clamor arose; some of the scribes who belonged to the Pharisaic party stood up, and contended. "We find nothing wrong in this man. What if a spirit has spoken to him, or an angel?"

mnt@Acts:23:10 @ But when the dissension became violent, the tribune, fearing that they would tear Paul in pieces, ordered the troops to march down and take him by force from among them, and bring him into the barracks.

mnt@Acts:23:11 @ And the following night the Lord stood by him and said. "Be of good courage; for as you have borne faithful witness concerning me at Jerusalem, so you must testify at Rome also."

mnt@Acts:23:12 @ When day dawned the Jews made a conspiracy, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul.

mnt@Acts:23:13 @ And there were more than forty who had sworn this oath.

mnt@Acts:23:14 @ They went to the high priests and elders, and said to them. "We have bound ourselves by a solemn oath to eat nothing until we have killed Paul.

mnt@Acts:23:16 @ But Pauls sisters son heard of their intended attack, and he went and got into the barracks, and told Paul.

mnt@Acts:23:19 @ And the tribune took him by the hand, and going aside, asked him privately, "What is it that you have to tell me?"

mnt@Acts:23:21 @ "Now do not let them persuade, for more than forty men are lying in wait for him, who have bound themselves under a curse, not to eat nor drink until they have killed him; even now they are all ready, awaiting your consent."

mnt@Acts:23:22 @ So the tribune sent the young man home with the injunction, "Tell no man that you have given me this information."

mnt@Acts:23:27 @ "This man Paul had been seized by the Jews, and was about to be killed by them, when I came upon them with the troops, and rescued him, as I had learned that he was a Roman citizen.

mnt@Acts:23:29 @ "Here I learned that he was accused about questions of their law, but was not charged with anything worthy of death or imprisonment.

mnt@Acts:23:30 @ "Now when I received information that there would be a plot against the man, I sent him at once to you, charging his accusers also to speak against him before you."

mnt@Acts:23:31 @ So the soldiers took Paul, as they were bid, and brought him by night to Antipatris.

mnt@Acts:23:34 @ After reading the letter, he asked to what province he belonged, and when he understood that he was of Cilicia, he said,

mnt@Acts:24:1 @ Five days later, Ananias the high priest came down to Caesarea with some of the elders, and with an orator, named Tertullus. They laid information before the governor against Paul.

mnt@Acts:24:2 @ So Paul was sent for, and then Tertullus began to accuse him, saying. "As it is owing to your excellency that we enjoy profound peace, and that the state of this nation,

mnt@Acts:24:10 @ Then at a nod from the governor, Paul spoke. "Because I know that for many years you have been a judge in this nation, I feel encouraged to make my defense.

mnt@Acts:24:11 @ "For you have it in your power to know that it is not more than twelve days ago that I went up to Jerusalem to worship;

mnt@Acts:24:22 @ At this point Felix, who had a pretty accurate knowledge of the Way, adjourned the case, saying to the Jews, "When Lysias the tribune comes down, I will go carefully into the matter."

mnt@Acts:24:23 @ And he gave orders to the centurion that Paul should be kept in custody, but treated with indulgence, and that his personal friends were not to be forbidden to minister to him.

mnt@Acts:24:24 @ Some days later Felix came, with his wife Drusilla, a Jewess; he sent for Paul, and listened to him concerning the faith in Christ Jesus.

mnt@Acts:24:26 @ He was hoping that Paul would give him money, and for this reason he used to send for him often to converse with him.

mnt@Acts:25:4 @ But Festus answered that Paul was in custody at Caesarea, and that he himself was going there soon.

mnt@Acts:25:6 @ After staying not more than eight or ten days among them, he went down to Caesarea, and the next day, after taking his seat upon the tribunal, he ordered Paul to be brought.

mnt@Acts:25:9 @ But Festus, wishing to ingratiate himself with the Jews, answered Paul and said, "Will you go up to Jerusalem and be tried there by me upon these charges?"

mnt@Acts:25:15 @ "The chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed me about him, when I was at Jerusalem, demanding a sentence against him.

mnt@Acts:25:16 @ I told them that it was not the custom of the Romans to give any man up for punishment, before the accused had his accusers face to face, and had opportunity of defending himself against the charges that had been brought against him.

mnt@Acts:25:17 @ "So when a number of them came together here, I made no delay, but the next day took my seat in the tribunal, and commanded the man to be brought.

mnt@Acts:25:20 @ I was perplexed how to investigate such questions, and asked Paul whether he would go to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these matters.

mnt@Acts:25:23 @ So the next day Agrippa and Bernice came with great pomp, and took their places in the hall of audience, accompanied by the tribunes and men of high rank in the city. At the command of Festus Paul was brought in.

mnt@Acts:25:24 @ "King Agrippa," said Festus, "and all men who are present with us, you see here the man about whom the entire body of the Jews at Jerusalem, and here also, sent to me, crying out that he ought not to live any longer.

mnt@Acts:26:29 @ "Long or short," answered Paul, "my prayer to God is that not only you but all who are my hearers this day might become such as I am, save for these chains."

mnt@Acts:26:31 @ When they had withdrawn they continued talking to one another. "This man is doing nothing," they said, "for which he deserves death or imprisonment."

mnt@Acts:27:1 @ When it was decided that we should sail for Italy, they proceeded to hand over Paul and a few other prisoners to the custody of Julius, a centurion of the Imperial Regiment.

mnt@Acts:27:3 @ The next day we touched at Sidon. There Julius treated Paul kindly, and gave him leave to visit his friends and refresh himself.

mnt@Acts:27:5 @ and after sailing across the Cilician and Pamphylian waters, we came to Myra, in Lycia.

mnt@Acts:27:10 @ "Sirs," he said to them, "I perceive that the voyage will be attended with injury and serious loss, not only to the cargo and to the ship, but also to our own lives."

mnt@Acts:27:11 @ But the centurion paid greater heed to the master and to the owner than to anything that was spoken by Paul;

mnt@Acts:27:13 @ And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close in shore.

mnt@Acts:27:16 @ Then we ran under the lee of a little island named Claudia, where with great difficulty we were able to secure the ships boat.

mnt@Acts:27:18 @ And as we were being terribly battered by the storm, the next day they began to throw the freight overboard,

mnt@Acts:27:20 @ Then when for many days neither sun nor stars were seen, and a great tempest still beat upon us, all hope that we should be saved was now taken away from us.

mnt@Acts:27:25 @ "So take courage, men! I believe God, I believe that things will turn out exactly as it has been told me.

mnt@Acts:27:27 @ It was now the fourteenth night, and we were drifting through the Adriatic Sea when, about midnight, the sailors began to suspect that they were drawing near to some land.

mnt@Acts:27:28 @ So they sounded and found twenty fathoms; and after a little they sounded again, and found fifteen fathoms.

mnt@Acts:27:30 @ And when the sailors were trying to flee from the ship, and had lowered the boat into the sea under pretext of laying anchors from the bow,

mnt@Acts:27:32 @ Then the soldiers cut the ropes of the ships boat and let her fall off.

mnt@Acts:27:33 @ And while day was dawning, Paul kept urging them all to take some food. "This is the fourteenth day," he said, "that you have been on the watch, fasting, having eaten nothing.

mnt@Acts:27:35 @ When he had so said and had taken bread, he gave thanks to God before them all, and broke it and began to eat.

mnt@Acts:27:38 @ After eating a hearty meal, they began to lighten the ship by throwing the wheat overboard.

mnt@Acts:27:40 @ They cast off the anchors and left them in the sea, and unloosing at the same time the ropes that tied the rudders, they hoisted the foresail to the breeze, and headed for the beach.

mnt@Acts:27:43 @ But the centurion kept them from their purpose, because he wished to save Paul. He gave orders that those who could swim should first jump overboard and get to land;

mnt@Acts:27:44 @ and that the rest should follow, some on planks and some on other bits of wreckage. And so it came to pass that all escaped safe to the land.

mnt@Acts:28:1 @ And when we were escaped, we ascertained that the island was called Malta.

mnt@Acts:28:3 @ Now when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and thrown them on the fire, a viper crawled out because of the heat, and fastened on his hand.

mnt@Acts:28:4 @ When the natives saw the reptile hanging on his hand, they began saying to one another, "No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he has escaped from the sea, yet justice does not allow him to live."

mnt@Acts:28:6 @ But they kept expecting him to swell up or fall down dead suddenly. But after waiting a long time, and seeing no harm come to him, they changed their minds, and said over and over that he was a god.

mnt@Acts:28:7 @ Now in the neighborhood there were estates belonging to the governor of the island, whose name was Publius. He received us and entertained us for three days courteously.

mnt@Acts:28:8 @ It happened however that the father of Publius was lying ill of fever and dysentery. So Paul went to see him and prayed and laid his hands on him and healed him.

mnt@Acts:28:10 @ These loaded us with many honors and, when at last we set sail, they put on board such things as we needed.

mnt@Acts:28:12 @ And touching at Syracuse, we stayed there three days.

mnt@Acts:28:17 @ Now three days later he called the leading Jews together, and when they were come together he said to them. "Brothers, I was delivered a prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans, though I had done nothing against the people or the customs of your fathers.

mnt@Acts:28:18 @ "Then when they had examined me they wanted to set me at liberty because there was no cause of death in me.

mnt@Acts:28:19 @ "But when the Jews objected I was forced to appeal to Caesar, not that I had anything to accuse my nation of.

mnt@Acts:28:22 @ "But we are eager to hear from you what it is that you believe; for we all know that as for this sect it is everywhere spoken against."

mnt@Acts:28:23 @ So they arranged a day with him and came to him in his lodgings in great numbers. He expounded the matter to them; testifying to the Kingdom of God, and persuading them about Jesus, from morning till evening, both from the Law of Moses and from the Prophets.

mnt@Acts:28:24 @ Some began to believe what he said, but some were unbelieving.

mnt@Acts:28:28 @ "Be fully assured, therefore, that this salvation of God is now sent unto the Gentiles. They will listen to it."

mnt@Romans:1:3 @ this gospel is concerning his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who was born of Davids posterity in respect of his bodily nature,

mnt@Romans:1:12 @ that is, that I with you may be encouraged by you, each of us by the others faith, yours and mine.

mnt@Romans:1:13 @ I want you to know, brothers, that many a time I have planned to come to you - though until now I have been hindered - so as to have some harvest-fruit among you also, even as I have among the rest of the Gentiles.

mnt@Romans:1:18 @ For Gods wrath is ever being revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who smother the truth by their unrighteousness.

mnt@Romans:1:19 @ This is so because that which may be known of God is manifest among them; for God has made it manifest to them.

mnt@Romans:1:20 @ For ever since the creation of the world his invisible nature, even his everlasting power and divinity, has been clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made. So they have no excuse.

mnt@Romans:1:25 @ because they exchanged the truth of God for an untruth, and worshiped and served the creature, rather than the Creator who is blessed forever. Amen.

mnt@Romans:1:26 @ That is why God has given them up to passions of dishonor; for on the one hand their women actually changed the natural function of sex into that which is against nature;

mnt@Romans:1:27 @ and on the other hand their men likewise abandoned the natural use of women, and were ablaze with passion for one another; men with men practising shameless acts and receiving in their own person that recompense of their wrong-doing which necessarily followed.

mnt@Romans:1:30 @ They became whisperers, back-biters, hated of God, insolent, haughty, boastful. They invented sins. They were disobedient to parents.

mnt@Romans:1:31 @ They were without sense, without faith, without natural affection, without mercy.

mnt@Romans:1:32 @ Though they knew well the ordinance of God, that those who practise such vices are worthy of death, they not only continue to do the same, but were even applauding those who practise vice.

mnt@Romans:2:1 @ You are therefore inexcusable, O man, whoever you are, that sits in judgment; for in judging another you are condemning yourself. You, the judge, are habitually practising the very same things.

mnt@Romans:2:2 @ "We know that Gods judgment against those who practise such vices is in accord with the truth," you say?

mnt@Romans:2:3 @ Very well; and do you suppose, you who judge those that practise such vices, and are doing the very same, that you will elude the judgment of God?

mnt@Romans:2:4 @ Or do you despise the riches of his kindness and forbearance and long patience? Do you not know that the kindness of God is leading you to repentance?

mnt@Romans:2:5 @ In your hardness and impenitence of heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath on the Day of Wrath, when the righteous judgment of God is revealed.

mnt@Romans:2:7 @ eternal life to those who by patience in well-doing strive for glory and honor and immortality;

mnt@Romans:2:8 @ but anger and wrath upon those who are self-willed and disobey the truth, but obey unrighteousness.

mnt@Romans:2:14 @ For when Gentiles, who have no law, obey by natural instinct the commands of the Law, they even though they have no law, are a law to themselves.

mnt@Romans:2:15 @ For they show that the work of the Law is written in their hearts, while their conscience bears them witness, as their reasonings accuse, or it may be defend, them,

mnt@Romans:2:18 @ and know his will, and can test the things that differ; if you are instructed out of the Law,

mnt@Romans:2:19 @ and are confident that you yourself are a darkness,

mnt@Romans:2:21 @ You who are preaching that a man should not steal, do you practise theft?

mnt@Romans:2:22 @ You who keep saying that a man should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who hold idols in abhorrence, are you plundering their temples?

mnt@Romans:3:1 @ What special privilege, then, has the Jew? Or what is the use of circumcision?

mnt@Romans:3:4 @ By no means! Be sure that God is ever true, though all mankind prove false. As it is written, That thou mayest be found just in thine argument, And gain thy cause when thou contendest.

mnt@Romans:3:5 @ But if our unrighteousness thus brings out Gods righteousness, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous - I speak after the manner of men - when he inflicts his anger on us?

mnt@Romans:3:6 @ Be it far from us; for in that case how could God judge the world?

mnt@Romans:3:8 @ And why not say (as I myself am slanderously reported to say), "Let us do evil that good may come out of it"? Such arguments are rightly condemned.

mnt@Romans:3:9 @ What then? Are we Jews in a better position? Not at all, for I have already charged all, both Jews and Gentiles, with being under sin.

mnt@Romans:3:11 @ There is none that understands, none that seeks for God!

mnt@Romans:3:19 @ Now we know that whatever the Law says, it speaks to those who are under the Law; so that every mouth may be shut, and all the world may be brought under the judgment of God.

mnt@Romans:3:24 @ but they are now being justified by his free grace through the deliverance that is in Christ Jesus.

mnt@Romans:3:25 @ For God openly set him forth for himself as an offering of atonement through faith, by means of his blood, in order to show forth his righteousness - since in his forbearance he had passed over the sins previously committed - to show forth his righteousness,

mnt@Romans:3:26 @ I say, at this present time; that he himself might be just, and yet the justifier of him who has faith in Jesus.

mnt@Romans:3:27 @ Then what becomes of boasting? It is shut out. What sort of law forbids it? A law of works? No, but a law of faith.

mnt@Romans:3:28 @ For I conclude that a man is justified by faith, altogether apart from the deeds of the Law.

mnt@Romans:4:1 @ What then shall we say of Abraham, our ancestor in the flesh?

mnt@Romans:4:3 @ For what does Scripture say? And Abraham believed God, and it was set down to his account as righteousness.

mnt@Romans:4:11 @ and he received circumcision as a sign, a seal of the faith- righteousness which he had while he was in uncircumcision; in order that he might be the father of all who believe, even though they are uncircumcised; so that righteousness might be imputed to them.

mnt@Romans:4:12 @ He is the father of circumcision to those who are not merely circumcised, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham which he held while he was as yet uncircumcised.

mnt@Romans:4:13 @ For the promise that he should be heir of the world did not come to Abraham or to his posterity through law, but through faith- righteousness.

mnt@Romans:4:15 @ For law works wrath; but where there is no law, neither is there transgression.

mnt@Romans:4:16 @ This is why righteousness is of faith, that it may be a free gift; so that the promise stands firm to all Abrahams posterity; not to his children of his faith. For in the sight of the God in whom he believed, who gives life to the dead, and calls into being that which is not, Abraham is the father of us all both Jews and Gentiles,

mnt@Romans:4:17 @ as it is written, I have made you a father of many nations.

mnt@Romans:4:18 @ For Abraham, hoping against hope, had faith to the end that he might become a father of many nations, according to that which had been spoken, So numberless shall your descendants be.

mnt@Romans:4:21 @ and was fully persuaded that what God had promised, he was able also to perform.

mnt@Romans:4:24 @ For it will be "reckoned for righteousness." to us also, who believe on him that raised from the dead our Lord Jesus;

mnt@Romans:4:25 @ who was betrayed to death for our transgressions, and raised again to life for our justification.

mnt@Romans:5:3 @ And not only so, but we are actually exulting also even in our troubles; for we know that trouble works fortitude,

mnt@Romans:5:8 @ But God gives proof of his love to us by the fact that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

mnt@Romans:5:9 @ By how much more, then, being now justified in his blood, shall we be saved through him from the wrath of God.

mnt@Romans:5:10 @ For if, when we were Gods enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved in his life.

mnt@Romans:5:11 @ And not only that, but we exult in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now obtained our reconciliation.

mnt@Romans:5:12 @ Thus, then, sin came into the world through one man, and through sin came death and so death spread to all men, because all had sinned.

mnt@Romans:5:14 @ Nevertheless, from Adam to Moses death reigned as king, even over those who had not sinned after the likeness of Adams transgression. Now Adam is a type of Him who was to come.

mnt@Romans:5:15 @ But the free gift is not like the transgression; for if through the transgression of that one man the rest on men died, much more did the grace of God and the gift given in his grace in the one Man, Jesus Christ, overflow unto the rest of men.

mnt@Romans:5:16 @ And it is not with the free gift as it was through the one that sinned; for the judgment came from one transgression unto condemnation; but the free gift came from many transgressions unto acquittal.

mnt@Romans:5:17 @ For if through the transgression of the one, death reigned as king through the one, much more shall those who receive the overflowing grace and gift of righteousness reign as kings in life through One, through Jesus Christ.

mnt@Romans:5:18 @ It follows then, as through the transgression of one man came condemnation unto all men, even so through the act of righteousness of One came acquittal and life to all men.

mnt@Romans:5:20 @ Now law was brought in so that transgression might abound; but where sin abounded, grace super-abounded;

mnt@Romans:5:21 @ in order that as sin has ruled as king in death, so also grace might rule as king in righteousness which issues in eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord, - ours!

mnt@Romans:6:1 @ What then shall we say? Shall we continue to abound in sin, in order that grace may come to abound?

mnt@Romans:6:3 @ For do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Jesus Christ, have been baptized into his death?

mnt@Romans:6:4 @ We have been buried together with him, then, through baptism into his death, in order that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so also we should live in a newness of life.

mnt@Romans:6:5 @ For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, so we shall also be united with him in the likeness of his resurrection.

mnt@Romans:6:6 @ For this we know, that our old self was crucified with Christ, in order that the slave of sin might be destroyed; so that we should no longer be in slavery to sin -

mnt@Romans:6:8 @ Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him;

mnt@Romans:6:9 @ knowing that Christ, being raised from the dead, dies no more; death has no more dominion over him.

mnt@Romans:6:10 @ For the death that he died, he died unto sin once for all; but the life that he lives he is living unto God.

mnt@Romans:6:15 @ What then? Shall we commit an act of sin because we are not under law, but under grace? Certainly not.

mnt@Romans:6:16 @ Do you not know that when you surrender yourselves as slaves to any one to obey him, you are his slaves whom you obey; whether it be sin, whose end is death, or obedience, whose end is righteousness?

mnt@Romans:6:17 @ But God be thanked that you who were once the slaves of sin have obeyed from your hearts that type of teaching to which you were appointed;

mnt@Romans:6:19 @ I speak in these homely figures because of the weakness of your fleshly nature - just as you once surrendered your faculties into slavery to impurity and to all lawlessness, so now you must surrender your faculties into slavery to righteousness, unto deeds of holiness.

mnt@Romans:6:21 @ What harvest-fruit then had you at that time in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.

mnt@Romans:6:22 @ But now that you have been set free from sin and become slaves of God, the harvest-fruit which you are reaping tends to produce holiness, and it ends is life eternal.

mnt@Romans:6:23 @ FOR THE POOR WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH, BUT THE FREE GIFT OF GOD IS ETERNAL LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS, OUR MASTER.

mnt@Romans:7:1 @ Surely, brothers, you know (for I am speaking to those who know what law means) that law governs a person only during his lifetime?

mnt@Romans:7:3 @ So then, if during her husband lifetime, she unites herself with another man, she will be counted an adulteress; but if her husband dies, she is free from the Law, so that she is no adulteress, even if she unites herself with another man.

mnt@Romans:7:4 @ So also, my brother, you were made dead to the Law through the body of Christ; that you should be joined to another, even to Him who was raised from the dead that we might bear fruit for God.

mnt@Romans:7:5 @ For while we were unspiritual, the sinful passions, aroused by the Law, were ever active in every part of our bodies, leading us to bear fruit unto death.

mnt@Romans:7:6 @ But now we have been released from the Law, because we are dead to that in which we were held; so that we are now in thraldom in new and spiritual conditions, and not under the old written code.

mnt@Romans:7:7 @ What shall we say then? Is the Law sin? Certainly not. On the contrary I should not have become acquainted with sin had it not been for the Law; for except the Law had repeatedly said, "Thou shalt not lust," I should never have known the sin of lust.

mnt@Romans:7:10 @ and the very commandment which should have meant life, this I found to mean death.

mnt@Romans:7:13 @ Did then that which was good become for me death? Never! but sin did; that it might be manifest as sin, by that the unutterable malignity of sin might become plain through the commandment.

mnt@Romans:7:14 @ For we know that the Law is spiritual; but as for me, I am a creature of flesh, bought and sold under the dominion of sin.

mnt@Romans:7:15 @ For what I perform I know not; what I practise is not what I intend to do, but what I detest, that I habitually do.

mnt@Romans:7:16 @ If then I habitually do what I do not intend to do, I am consenting to the Law, that it is right.

mnt@Romans:7:18 @ For I know that in me, that is in my flesh, no good thing has its home; for while to will is present with me, to carry out that which is right is not.

mnt@Romans:7:19 @ For the good that I intend to do, I do not; but the evil which I do not; but the evil which I do not intend to do, that I am ever practising.

mnt@Romans:7:21 @ I find, then, this law, that when I intend to do good, evil is ever present with me.

mnt@Romans:7:23 @ but I find a different law in my bodily faculties, waging war with the law of my will, and taking me prisoner to that law of sin which is in my bodily faculties.

mnt@Romans:7:24 @ Oh, wretched man that I am! Who shall deliver me from this slave of death?

mnt@Romans:7:25 @ Oh, thank God! it is through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then I myself in my will am in thraldom to the law of God; yet in my animal nature I am in thraldom to the law of sin.

mnt@Romans:8:1 @ Thus there is now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus;

mnt@Romans:8:2 @ for the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and of death.

mnt@Romans:8:3 @ For God has done what the Law could not do, weakened as it was by flesh. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and on account of sin, he condemned sin in the flesh;

mnt@Romans:8:4 @ in order that the Law might be fulfilled in us who order our lives not after the flesh, but after the spirit.

mnt@Romans:8:5 @ For they who live after the flesh, give their attention to the things of the flesh; But they who live after the spirit, give their attention to spiritual things.

mnt@Romans:8:6 @ To be earthly minded means death; To be spiritually minded means life and peace.

mnt@Romans:8:13 @ for if you go on living according to the flesh, you are on the road to die; but if by the Spirit you keep putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

mnt@Romans:8:15 @ For you have not received a spirit of slavery in order that you should once more be afraid; but you have received a spirit of adoption, in which we cry out, "My Father, my dear Father!"

mnt@Romans:8:16 @ For his Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit, that we are children of God;

mnt@Romans:8:18 @ For I count as nothing what we now suffer, in comparison with the glory which will soon be unveiled to us.

mnt@Romans:8:19 @ All nature even is waiting with eager longing for the unveiling of the vision of Gods sons.

mnt@Romans:8:20 @ For nature was subjected to imperfection, not by its own will, but by the will of Him who thus made it subject -

mnt@Romans:8:21 @ yet not without the hope that some day nature itself also will be freed from the thraldom of decay, into the freedom which belongs to the glory of the children of God.

mnt@Romans:8:22 @ For we know that all nature has been groaning and travailing together until this hour.

mnt@Romans:8:23 @ And not only that, we ourselves, although we are grasping the first- fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves are inwardly groaning, while we are waiting for adoption, the redemption of our body.

mnt@Romans:8:25 @ Who hopes for what he clearly sees? But if we hope for something that we do not see, we then patiently wait for it.

mnt@Romans:8:27 @ And the Searcher of Hearts knows what the Sprits meaning is, because his intercessions for the saints are according to the will of God.

mnt@Romans:8:28 @ Now we know that all things continually work together for good to to those who love God, to those who have been the called according to his purpose.

mnt@Romans:8:29 @ For whom he foreknew, he also foreordained to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, so that he might be the eldest of a great brotherhood;

mnt@Romans:8:31 @ What shall we say then, to these things? If God be for us, Who can be against us?

mnt@Romans:8:32 @ He that spared not his own Son, But freely delivered him up for us all, How shall he not with him also freely give us all things?

mnt@Romans:8:34 @ Who is there to condemn them? Will Christ who died? Yes, and who rose from the dead, The Christ who is also at the right hand of God, And is interceding for us?

mnt@Romans:8:35 @ What shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall anguish, or calamity, or persecution, or famine? Shall nakedness, or peril, or sword?

mnt@Romans:8:38 @ For I am fully persuaded that neither death nor life, Neither angels nor principalities, nor powers, Neither the present world nor the world to come, Nor the powers of Nature,

mnt@Romans:8:39 @ Nor height, nor depth, Nor any other created thing, Shall be able to separate us from the love of God Which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

mnt@Romans:9:1 @ I am speaking the truth in Christ, it is no lie. My conscience bears me witness in the Holy Spirit that I have deep sorrow

mnt@Romans:9:5 @ theirs are the patriarchs, and of them, as concerning the flesh, is Christ, who is over all, God, blessed forever, Amen.

mnt@Romans:9:8 @ That is, it is not the children of the flesh who are children of God; but the children of the promise are counted as his posterity.

mnt@Romans:9:10 @ And not only so, but when Rebecca was pregnant by our forefather Isaac, though one man was the father of both children,

mnt@Romans:9:11 @ and even though they were still unborn, and had done nothing either good or bad, in order that the purpose of God might stand according to election, not of works, but of Him who called,

mnt@Romans:9:13 @ As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.

mnt@Romans:9:14 @ What shall we say then? that there is injustice with God? No indeed.

mnt@Romans:9:17 @ For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, It is for this very purpose that I have raised you up, To show in you my power, And to proclaim my name far and wide, in all the earth.

mnt@Romans:9:20 @ "Nay, but who are you, O man, that replies to God? Shall the thing formed say unto him who formed it, "Why did you do me like this?"

mnt@Romans:9:22 @ But what if God, while intending to show forth his wrath, and to make known his power, yet endured, with much long-suffering, vessels of wrath, fitted to destruction?

mnt@Romans:9:23 @ And what if he thus purposed to make known the riches of his glory upon vessels of mercy, which he had before prepared for glory?

mnt@Romans:9:26 @ And in that very spot where it was told them, "You are not my people," There they shall be called "Sons of the living God."

mnt@Romans:9:29 @ Even as in an earlier passage, Isaiah says, Except the Lord of Sabbath had us some few descendants, we should have become like Sodom, and should have fared like Gomorrah.

mnt@Romans:9:30 @ What then shall we say? That Gentiles who never pursed righteousness have overtaken it, even the righteousness of faith?

mnt@Romans:9:31 @ But that the descendants of Israel, who were in pursuit of a law of righteousness, did not arrive at that law?

mnt@Romans:9:32 @ And why? Because they sought it not by faith, but thought to gain it by works. They stumbled at the stone of stumbling;

mnt@Romans:9:33 @ even as it is written. Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense; but he that believes on Him shall not be put to shame.

mnt@Romans:10:1 @ Brothers, the longing of my heart and my prayer to God is for my countrymen, that they may be saved.

mnt@Romans:10:2 @ For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, only it is a zeal without knowledge.

mnt@Romans:10:5 @ For Moses writes concerning the righteousness of the Law, saying, The man that doeth it shall live by it.

mnt@Romans:10:6 @ But the righteousness of faith speaks in this way. Say not in thine heart, "Who shall ascend to heaven?" - that is, to bring Christ down;

mnt@Romans:10:7 @ Nor,"who shall descend into the abyss?" - that is, to bring Christ up from the dead.

mnt@Romans:10:8 @ But what does it say? The word is near thee, even in thy mouth and in thy heart. That is the very word of faith which we preach;

mnt@Romans:10:9 @ Confess with your mouth "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God actually raised him from the dead, and you will be saved.

mnt@Romans:10:10 @ For with the heart man believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

mnt@Romans:10:16 @ And yet they did not all hearken to the good news; for Isaiah said, Lord, who hath believed our message?

mnt@Romans:10:19 @ But I say, Did Israel not know? First Moses says. I will provoke you to jealousy with that which is no nation; Against a Gentile nation, void of understanding, will I anger you.

mnt@Romans:11:2 @ God did not cast off his people whom he foreknew. For do you not know what is said in the Scripture about Elijah? how he pleaded with God against Israel, saying,

mnt@Romans:11:4 @ But what was the answer of God to him? I have reserved for myself seven thousand who have not bowed the knee to Baal.

mnt@Romans:11:5 @ In the same way also at this time there is a remnant chosen by gift of grace.

mnt@Romans:11:7 @ What then? that which Israel has been seeking for, that he has not obtained; but the chosen have obtained it, and the rest have been hardened.

mnt@Romans:11:8 @ According as it is written, God has given them a spirit of slumber, Eyes that they should not see, Ears that they should not hear, unto this day.

mnt@Romans:11:10 @ Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, And bow thou down their backs forever.

mnt@Romans:11:11 @ I ask then, "Have they stumbled so as to fall?" No indeed; but by their lapse salvation has come unto Gentiles, "to provoke Israel to jealousy."

mnt@Romans:11:13 @ For to you who are Gentiles I say that since I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I glorify my ministry,

mnt@Romans:11:15 @ For if their casting out is the reconciliation of the world to God, what will their restoration be but life out of death?

mnt@Romans:11:16 @ Now if the first-fruits of the dough Abraham and the Patriarchs are holy, so also is the whole mass their descendants. And if the root of a tree Abraham is holy, so also are the branches his descendants.

mnt@Romans:11:17 @ Supposing that some of the branches have been broken off, and you, although you were but a wild olive, have been grafted in among the branches and have become a partaker with them of the fatness of the olive tree, do not glory over the branches;

mnt@Romans:11:18 @ or if you are glorying, remember that it is not you who uphold the root, but the root which upholds you.

mnt@Romans:11:19 @ "Branches have been broken off," you say, "that I might be grafted in."

mnt@Romans:11:21 @ for if God spared not the natural branches, neither will he spare you.

mnt@Romans:11:24 @ For if you were cut out of that which is by nature a mere wild olive tree, and have been grafted, contrary to nature, into a fruitful olive tree, how much more shall these, the natural branches, be regrafted into their own olive tree?

mnt@Romans:11:25 @ For I would not, my brothers, have you ignorant of this hidden truth, for fear that you become wise in your own conceits. that a hardening in part has befallen Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles is come in.

mnt@Romans:11:28 @ In relation to the gospel, the Jews are Gods enemies for your sake; but in relation to the election, they are dearly loved for their forefathers sake.

mnt@Romans:11:31 @ even so they also have now been disobedient, that by the mercy shown to you they also may now obtain mercy.

mnt@Romans:11:32 @ For God has locked up all in the prison of disobedience, that upon all he may have mercy.

mnt@Romans:11:33 @ Oh, the depths of the riches, both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unfathomable are his judgments, and how unsearchable his paths!

mnt@Romans:12:1 @ I entreat you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies to Him as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God. This is your reasonable service of worship.

mnt@Romans:12:2 @ And be not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

mnt@Romans:12:3 @ For, through the grace that was given to me, I tell every man among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but so to think, as to think soberly, according to the measure of faith which God has given him.

mnt@Romans:12:6 @ But we have gifts differing according to the grace which was given to us. He that has the gift of prophecy, let him prophesy according to the proportion of his faith.

mnt@Romans:12:7 @ If it is the gift of administration, let us give ourselves to our service.

mnt@Romans:12:8 @ Let the teacher give himself to his teaching; and he who exhorts others to his exhortation. He who gives, let him do it in singleness of mind. He who rules, let him rule with diligence; and he who shows mercy must be cheerful.

mnt@Romans:12:9 @ Let love be without insincerity. Abhor what is evil; wed yourselves to what is good.

mnt@Romans:12:10 @ As for brotherly love, be tenderly affectionate one to another, in honor preferring one another.

mnt@Romans:12:12 @ Rejoice in hope; be patient under affliction; continue stedfast in prayer.

mnt@Romans:12:16 @ Have full sympathy with one another. Set not your minds on high affairs, but associate with lowly folk. Do not be wise in your own conceits.

mnt@Romans:12:17 @ Do not pay back evil for evil. Aim to do what is honorable in the eyes of all.

mnt@Romans:12:18 @ If it be possible, so far as it lies with you, be at peace with all men.

mnt@Romans:12:19 @ Never revenge yourself, beloved, but leave the field clear for Gods wrath; for it is written, "Vengeance is mine, I will repay," says the Lord.

mnt@Romans:13:1 @ Every one should be in the higher authorities; for there is no authority apart from God. The authorities that now exist have been appointed by God.

mnt@Romans:13:3 @ For rulers are no terror to good deeds, but to evil. Would you be fearless of the rulers authority? Do what is good, and you will have his praise.

mnt@Romans:13:6 @ This too, is the reason why you pay taxes; because the authorities are ministers of Gods service, attending continually upon this very thing.

mnt@Romans:13:9 @ For the Law which says, Thou shalt not commit adultery, thou shalt do no murder, thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not bear false witness, thou shalt not covet, and whatever other commandment there be - is all summed up in this one saying, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

mnt@Romans:13:11 @ Carry out these injunctions because you know the crisis that we are in, that now it is high time for you to awake out of sleep; for now is our salvation nearer than when we first believed.

mnt@Romans:13:12 @ The night is far spent; The day is at hand. Let is therefore take off the deeds of darkness, Let us put on the armor of light.

mnt@Romans:13:14 @ But clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, And make no provisions for your earthly nature And the gratification of its lusts.

mnt@Romans:14:2 @ One man has faith to eat anything; but he whose faith is weak, eats only vegetables.

mnt@Romans:14:3 @ He who eats meat must not despise the man who abstains; and let not the man who abstains judge him who eats; for God has received him.

mnt@Romans:14:4 @ Who are you just that judges the household-servant of another? To his own lord he stands or falls. And stand he will, for his Master has power to make him stand.

mnt@Romans:14:6 @ He who regards the day, regards it unto his Lord; and he who regards it not, disregards it unto his Lord. He who eats meat, eats unto his Lord, for he gives God thanks; and he who abstains, abstains unto his Lord, since he, too, gives God thanks.

mnt@Romans:14:9 @ For this purpose Christ died and became alive again, that he might be the Lord both of the dead and of the living.

mnt@Romans:14:10 @ But you the abstainer, why do you pass judgment on your brother? Or you again the non-abstainer, why do you despise yours? For we shall all stand before the judgment-seat of God.

mnt@Romans:14:13 @ So let us no longer pass judgment on one another; rather let this be your judgment, that no one put a stumbling-block in his brothers way, nor any cause of falling.

mnt@Romans:14:14 @ I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is in itself unclean; but any food is "unclean" for one who considers it "unclean."

mnt@Romans:14:15 @ If your brother is continually pained because of your food, you are not conducting yourself any longer in love. Do not, by what you eat, persist in destroying a man for whom Christ died.

mnt@Romans:14:16 @ Therefore do not let what is right, so far as you are concerned, be evil spoken of.

mnt@Romans:14:17 @ For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

mnt@Romans:14:19 @ So then let is eagerly pursue the things that make for peace and the upbuilding of each other.

mnt@Romans:14:21 @ The right course is not to eat meat, nor to drink wine, nor to do anything through which your brother is made to stumble.

mnt@Romans:14:22 @ Have you faith? Keep it to yourself as in the presence of God. He is a happy man who does not condemn himself in that which he approves.

mnt@Romans:14:23 @ But he who has misgivings, and yet eats meat, is condemned already, because his action is not based on faith; and whatever is not based on faith is sin.

mnt@Romans:15:4 @ For everything that was written of old has been written for our instruction, that through patience, and through the comfort of the Scriptures, we might have hope.

mnt@Romans:15:5 @ Now the God of patience and of comfort grant you to be in full sympathy with one another, in accordance with the example of Jesus Christ;

mnt@Romans:15:6 @ so that with one heart and with one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

mnt@Romans:15:8 @ For I say that Christ has been made a minister of the Circumcision the people of Israel, in vindication of Gods truth, so that he may confirm the promises given to our forefathers;

mnt@Romans:15:9 @ and so that the Gentiles also should praise God for his mercy, as it is written, Therefore I will offer praise to thee among the Gentiles, And sing to thy name.

mnt@Romans:15:12 @ Or again, as Isaiah says. There shall be the root of Jesse, And he that arises to rule over the Gentiles; On him shall the Gentiles hope.

mnt@Romans:15:13 @ Now the God of all hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may be overflowing with hope in the power of the Holy Spirit.

mnt@Romans:15:14 @ And I myself also am confident regarding you, my brothers, that you yourselves are already full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, and well able to give advice to one another.

mnt@Romans:15:15 @ Still I have written unto you the more boldly, in part, by way of reminding you, because of that gift of grace which God bestowed upon me, in making me a priest of Jesus Christ unto the Gentiles.

mnt@Romans:15:16 @ I act as priest of the gospel of God; so that the Gentiles, when offered before him, may be an acceptable sacrifice, because consecrated by the Holy Spirit.

mnt@Romans:15:18 @ For I will not dare to speak of any thing except that which Christ has done through me to bring the Gentiles to obedience by word and deed,

mnt@Romans:15:19 @ through the might of signs and wonders, in the power of the Holy Spirit. So that beginning at Jerusalem and its environs, I have proclaimed without reserve the gospel of Christ, even as far as Illyricum.

mnt@Romans:15:20 @ My ambition has been, however, to preach the gospel where Christs name was not already known, so that I might not build upon another mans foundation.

mnt@Romans:15:26 @ For it has been the good pleasure of Macedonia and Achaia to make an offering for the poor among the saints at Jerusalem.

mnt@Romans:15:28 @ When, therefore, I have settled this, and have secured to them the poor at Jerusalem the fruit of this collection, I shall come on by you into Spain.

mnt@Romans:15:29 @ And I know that when I come to you, I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of Christ.

mnt@Romans:15:31 @ that I may be delivered from the disobedient in Judea; that my mission to Jerusalem may be favorably received by the saints;

mnt@Romans:15:32 @ and that I may come to you in joy, by the will of God, and find rest together with you.

mnt@Romans:16:1 @ I commend to you our sister Phoebe, who is a minister of the church at Cenchrae.

mnt@Romans:16:2 @ I beg you to give her a Christian welcome, as the saints should; and to assist her in any matter in which she may have need of you. For she herself has been made an overseer to many people, including myself.

mnt@Romans:16:5 @ but by all the churches among the Gentiles. Salute likewise the church that meets in their home. Salute Epaenetus, my dearly beloved, the first man in Roman Asia to believe in Christ.

mnt@Romans:16:14 @ Salute Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas, and the brothers who are associated with them.

mnt@Romans:16:15 @ Salute Philologus and Julia, Nereus and his sister, Olympas, and all the saints associated with them.

mnt@Romans:16:17 @ I exhort you, brothers, to keep watch of those who are causing the divisions among you, and occasions of stumbling, contrary to the teaching which you have learned.

mnt@Romans:16:18 @ Turn away from them. For men of that stamp are not the slaves of Christ, but are slaves to their own appetites. By their smooth and fair speech they beguile the hearts of the innocent.

mnt@Romans:16:20 @ The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

mnt@Romans:16:21 @ Timothy, my fellow worker, salutes you; so do my fellow countrymen Lucius, Jason, and Sosipater.

mnt@Romans:16:25 @ Now I commend you to Him who is able to keep you stedfast, according to my gospel, and the proclamation of Jesus Christ, whereby is unveiled the secret truth which was kept secret through immemorial ages,

mnt@Romans:16:26 @ but now has been brought to light, and by command of the eternal God made known to the Gentiles by the scriptures of the Prophets, so that the Gentiles might hold obedience of the faith.

mnt@1Corinthians:1:2 @ to the Church of God at Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, together with all, wherever they are, who call upon the name of the Lord Jesus.

mnt@1Corinthians:1:3 @ Grace to you, and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

mnt@1Corinthians:1:5 @ that in everything you have been enriched in him, in all speech, and in all knowledge

mnt@1Corinthians:1:7 @ so that you lack no divine gift, while you are waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ.

mnt@1Corinthians:1:8 @ He will also keep you perfectly stedfast unto the end, so that you will be unreprovable in the Day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

mnt@1Corinthians:1:11 @ For it has been plainly told me concerning you, my brothers, by Chloes people, that there are dissensions among you.

mnt@1Corinthians:1:12 @ I mean by this that one of you says, "I am a follower of Paul"; another, "I of Apollos"; another, "I of Cephas"; another, "I of Christ."

mnt@1Corinthians:1:13 @ Has Christ been divided? Paul, was he crucified for you? or was it into the name of Paul that you were baptized?

mnt@1Corinthians:1:14 @ I am thankful to God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius,

mnt@1Corinthians:1:15 @ so that no one can say you were baptized in my name.

mnt@1Corinthians:1:17 @ For Christ did not think I baptized any one else. For Christ did not send me forth to baptize, but to proclaim the gospel; and that not in philosophic words, lest the Cross of Christ should be made an empty thing.

mnt@1Corinthians:1:18 @ For the message of the Cross is indeed for those on their way to destruction, foolishness; but for us who are on our way to salvation it is the power of God.

mnt@1Corinthians:1:26 @ For consider your own calling, brothers, that not many wise in earthly wisdom, not many powerful, not many of noble birth, have been called.

mnt@1Corinthians:1:28 @ The worlds base things has God chosen, and the things that are not, to bring to naught the things that are;

mnt@1Corinthians:1:29 @ so that no mortal man should glory in his presence.

mnt@1Corinthians:1:30 @ It is of him that you are in Christ Jesus, whom God made unto us wisdom and righteousness and sanctification and redemption,

mnt@1Corinthians:1:31 @ so that as Scripture says, He that glories, let him glory in the Lord.

mnt@1Corinthians:2:1 @ And when I came to you, brothers, I came not to proclaim Gods great secret purpose in fine language of philosophy;

mnt@1Corinthians:2:3 @ In weakness and fear and great trembling came I among you.

mnt@1Corinthians:2:4 @ My message and my preaching were not in the persuasive language of philosophy, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power;

mnt@1Corinthians:2:5 @ in order that your faith should rest, not on human philosophy, but on the power of God.

mnt@1Corinthians:2:6 @ Notwithstanding, among those who are mature I do teach philosophy; though not the philosophy of the present age, nor of its rulers who are coming to nought.

mnt@1Corinthians:2:7 @ No, it is Gods wisdom that I utter, that hidden wisdom which God had decreed before the world began, unto our glory.

mnt@1Corinthians:2:10 @ Yet God has unveiled them to us by his Spirit. For the Spirit fathoms everything, even the abysmal depths of God.

mnt@1Corinthians:2:11 @ For what man knows the depths of man except the mans own inner Spirit? Even so, also, the Spirit of God knows the deeps profound of God.

mnt@1Corinthians:2:12 @ But we have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which comes forth from God, that we may realize the blessings freely given us by God.

mnt@1Corinthians:2:16 @ For what man understands the mind of the Lord, that he should instruct Him?

mnt@1Corinthians:3:1 @ As for me, brothers, I could not talk to you as spiritual men, but as to creatures of flesh, mere babes in Christ.

mnt@1Corinthians:3:2 @ I fed you milk, not meat; for you were unable to bear it.

mnt@1Corinthians:3:5 @ What then is Apollos? What is Paul? Just ministers through whom you have believed, and each doing the work that the Lord gave him.

mnt@1Corinthians:3:6 @ I planted, Apollos watered, but God made the seed grow.

mnt@1Corinthians:3:7 @ So neither is he who planted anything, nor he who watered, but God alone, who is making the seed grow.

mnt@1Corinthians:3:8 @ Now, though he who plants and he who waters are one, each will receive his own reward, according to his own service.

mnt@1Corinthians:3:10 @ According to the grace of God vouchsafed me, like a skillful master- builder, I have laid a foundation; but another will be building upon it. Let each take heed how he builds on it.

mnt@1Corinthians:3:11 @ The foundation is already laid - Jesus Christ - and no man can lay another.

mnt@1Corinthians:3:12 @ On that foundation, if a man proceeds to build gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble, each mans work will be made manifest.

mnt@1Corinthians:3:13 @ The Day will disclose it, for it dawns in fire, and the fire will test each mans work, of what quality it is.

mnt@1Corinthians:3:16 @ Do you not know what you are Gods sanctuary, and that the Spirit of God is dwelling within you?

mnt@1Corinthians:3:17 @ If any one tear down Gods sanctuary, God will tear him down; for the sanctuary of God is holy, and that is what you are.

mnt@1Corinthians:3:18 @ Let no one deceive himself. If any one of you supposes that he is wise in the philosophy of the present age, let him become foolish, so that he may be wise.

mnt@1Corinthians:3:22 @ Paul, Apollos, Cephas, the world, life, death, things present or things to come; all things are yours;

mnt@1Corinthians:4:2 @ Now it is required of stewards, that a man be found faithful.

mnt@1Corinthians:4:3 @ But to me it matters very little that I am judged by you, or by any earthly court.

mnt@1Corinthians:4:4 @ Indeed I do not even judge myself; for though I know nothing against myself, yet that does not vindicate me; for he who judges me is the Lord.

mnt@1Corinthians:4:6 @ Now these things, brothers, I have applied in a figure to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that in us you might learn not to go beyond what is written; that none of you be puffed up for the one, against the other.

mnt@1Corinthians:4:7 @ For who makes you a differ, brother? Or what have you that you did not receive? But if you did receive it, why are you boasting as if you had not received it?

mnt@1Corinthians:4:8 @ But you, forsooth, are already full, are you? You are already rich? Without us you are already reigning? Yes, and I would that you did reign, so that we also might reign with you.

mnt@1Corinthians:4:9 @ But it seems to me that God has exhibited us apostles, last of all, like men doomed to death; for we are made a spectacle to the whole world, both to men and to angels.

mnt@1Corinthians:4:13 @ When reviled, we bless; when persecuted, we endure; when defamed, we conciliate. We have been made, as it were, scum-o-the-earth, the very refuse of the world, to this very hour!

mnt@1Corinthians:4:15 @ For though you have ten thousand tutors in Christ Jesus, you can have but one father. For in Christ Jesus I begot you through the gospel.

mnt@1Corinthians:4:16 @ I beg you then to imitate my example.

mnt@1Corinthians:4:19 @ But come to you I will, and that soon, if it please the Lord, and then I shall learn not the talk of these boasters, but their power.

mnt@1Corinthians:5:1 @ It is actually reported that there is immorality among you, and such immorality as is not even among the heathen - that a man has taken his fathers wife!

mnt@1Corinthians:5:4 @ When you are gathered together, and my spirit is with you together with the power of our Lord Jesus,

mnt@1Corinthians:5:5 @ I have handed over such a man to Satan for the destruction of his flesh, that his spirit may be saved, in the day of the Lord Jesus.

mnt@1Corinthians:5:6 @ Your glorying is not good. Do you not know that even a little leaven leavens all the lump?

mnt@1Corinthians:5:7 @ Then get rid of the old leaven, so that you may be like a new lump, as you are now unleavened. For our Paschal Lamb has already been sacrificed, Christ himself.

mnt@1Corinthians:5:9 @ I told you in my letter not to associate with the immoral.

mnt@1Corinthians:5:10 @ Not that in this world you were actually to have no contact with the immoral, the avaricious, the thievish, or with idolaters; for then you would have to leave the world, altogether.

mnt@1Corinthians:5:11 @ But what I wrote was that you were not to associate with any so- called brother who is immoral, or avaricious, or idolatrous, or abusive, or a drunkard, or an extortioner. No, with such persons do not even sit at table.

mnt@1Corinthians:5:12 @ What have I to do with the judging of outsiders? Must not you judge those who are within the church, while God judges outsiders?

mnt@1Corinthians:5:13 @ Expel that wicked man from among you.

mnt@1Corinthians:6:1 @ Dare any one of you who has a grievance against his neighbor go to law before heathen judges, instead of before the saints?

mnt@1Corinthians:6:2 @ Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is to be tried by you, are you unfit to try such trifling cases?

mnt@1Corinthians:6:3 @ Do you not know that we are to try angels? How much more, then, the affairs of life.

mnt@1Corinthians:6:4 @ Why then, if you have cases relating to earthly affairs which need to be decided, is it men who are absolutely nothing in the church whom you make your judges?

mnt@1Corinthians:6:5 @ I say this to shame you. Is it so that there is not among you a single wise man, capable of deciding between a man and his brother?

mnt@1Corinthians:6:6 @ Must brother go to law with brother, and that, too, before unbelievers?

mnt@1Corinthians:6:7 @ Indeed, to say nothing more, the fact that you have lawsuits with one another is altogether a defect in you. Why not rather suffer injustice? Why not rather endure being cheated?

mnt@1Corinthians:6:8 @ On the contrary, you yourselves are inflicting injustice and fraud, and that upon your brothers.

mnt@1Corinthians:6:9 @ Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. None who are immoral, or idolaters, or adulterers, or catamites, or sodomites,

mnt@1Corinthians:6:11 @ Such were some of you, but you have washed away your stains, you have been consecrated, you have been justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and in the Spirit of our God.

mnt@1Corinthians:6:15 @ You know, do you not, that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them members of a harlot? God forbid!

mnt@1Corinthians:6:16 @ Do you not know that he who joins himself to a harlot is one with her in body? (For God says, The two shall become one flesh.)

mnt@1Corinthians:6:18 @ Flee from immorality. Every other sin that a man commits lies outside the body, but the immoral man sins against his own body.

mnt@1Corinthians:6:19 @ Do you not know that your body is a sanctuary of the Holy Spirit who is within you, the Spirit whom you have from God?

mnt@1Corinthians:7:5 @ Do not refuse one another, unless it is only temporary and by mutual consent, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again, lest through your lack of self-control Satan begin to tempt you to sin.

mnt@1Corinthians:7:6 @ But what I have just said is by way of concession, not command.

mnt@1Corinthians:7:7 @ I would that every one lived as I do; but each man has his own special gift from God, one this, another that.

mnt@1Corinthians:7:8 @ But to the unmarried, and the widows, I say that it is well for them to remain as I am.

mnt@1Corinthians:7:10 @ But to those already married my commandment is - and not mine, but the Lords - that a wife is not to leave her husband;

mnt@1Corinthians:7:11 @ (or if she has already left him let her either remain as she is, or be reconciled to him), and also that a husband is not to put away his wife.

mnt@1Corinthians:7:13 @ And a woman whose husband is not a believer, if he is willing to live with her, let her not separate from him.

mnt@1Corinthians:7:14 @ For the unbelieving husband is consecrated through union with his believing wife; and the unbelieving wife, through union with her believing husband. Otherwise your children would be unholy, but now they are consecrated to God.

mnt@1Corinthians:7:15 @ But if the unbelieving partner be determined to leave, separation let it be. In such cases the believing husband or wife is not under bondage. But it is into peace that God has called us.

mnt@1Corinthians:7:17 @ Only whatever be the lot in life to which God has assigned each one - and whatever the condition in which he was living when God called him- -in that let him continue. Such is the rule I give in all the churches.

mnt@1Corinthians:7:20 @ Whatever be the condition of life in which he was called, in that let him continue.

mnt@1Corinthians:7:21 @ Were you called in slavery? Let not that trouble you; but if you can become free make use of the opportunity.

mnt@1Corinthians:7:25 @ I have no command from the Lord to give you concerning unmarried women; but I give you my opinion, and it is that of a man who, through the Lords mercy, is deserving of your confidence.

mnt@1Corinthians:7:26 @ I think then, that in view of the time of suffering now imminent, it is best for a man to remain as he is.

mnt@1Corinthians:7:29 @ Indeed, brothers, the time that remains to us has been shortened; so let those who have wives live as if they had none,

mnt@1Corinthians:7:35 @ It is in your own interest that I say this; not that I may entangle you in a snare, but that I may help you to serve the Lord with fitting and undistracted service.

mnt@1Corinthians:7:36 @ If, however, a father feels that he is not treating his virgin daughter in a seemly manner, in leaving her unmarried beyond the flower of her age, and so the matter is urgent, let him do what she desires; he commits no sin. Let the marriage take place.

mnt@1Corinthians:7:38 @ So he that gives his daughter in marriage is doing right, and he who keeps her unmarried will be doing right, and he who keeps her unmarried will be doing better.

mnt@1Corinthians:7:40 @ But she is happier, in my judgment, if she remains as she is; and I think that I, too, have the Spirit of God.

mnt@1Corinthians:8:1 @ Now in regard to food which has been offered to idols, we are sure of course that "we all have knowledge." But knowledge puffs up, while love builds up.

mnt@1Corinthians:8:2 @ If a man thinks that he already has knowledge, he does not yet truly know as he ought to know;

mnt@1Corinthians:8:4 @ Now as to eating food that has been offered to idols, we know well that an idol has no real existence in the universe, and that there is no God but One.

mnt@1Corinthians:8:6 @ yet for there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things, and we for him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.

mnt@1Corinthians:8:7 @ But that "knowledge" is not possessed by all; but some, accustomed until now to the idol, eat food as that which has actually been offered to an idol, and so their conscience, being still weak, is defiled.

mnt@1Corinthians:8:8 @ Now food does not bring us nearness to God. Neither if we eat do we gain any advantage, nor if we eat not, do we lose any.

mnt@1Corinthians:8:10 @ For if any one should see you, the possessor of "knowledge," reclining at table in an idols temple, would not his conscience, if he were weak, be emboldened to eat things sacrificed to idols?

mnt@1Corinthians:8:13 @ Therefore, if what I eat makes my brother to stumble, I will never eat meat again, lest I make my brother to stumble.

mnt@1Corinthians:9:2 @ Even if I am not an apostle to others, to you at least I am; for you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.

mnt@1Corinthians:9:7 @ What soldier ever serves at his own expense? What farmer ever plants a vineyard and his flock and does not taste the milk?

mnt@1Corinthians:9:10 @ Is it the oxen that God is thinking about, or is it really said for our sakes? It was written for us; because the plowman ought to plow in hope, and the thresher in hope of getting a share of the crop.

mnt@1Corinthians:9:11 @ If I have sown for you the seeds of spiritual good, is it a great thing if I reap from you temporal goods?

mnt@1Corinthians:9:12 @ If others share this authority over you, do not I far more? Yet I have not availed myself of it, but am patiently enduring; so that I may not in any way hinder the progress of Christs gospel.

mnt@1Corinthians:9:13 @ You know, do you not, that those who minister in the temple, and those who serve at the altar, get their portion of the sacrifices?

mnt@1Corinthians:9:14 @ Even so the Lord ordained that those who proclaim the gospel should get their living by the gospel.

mnt@1Corinthians:9:15 @ But for my part, I have never availed myself of any of these rights. I do not say this to bring it about in my own case. I would rather die than let any one make void this boast of mine.

mnt@1Corinthians:9:17 @ For if I do this of my own accord, I have my pay; but if unwilling, I have at least discharged my stewardship.

mnt@1Corinthians:9:18 @ What then is my wage? This, that I can make the gospel free where I carry it; and that I can refrain from using my rights as a preacher of the gospel.

mnt@1Corinthians:9:19 @ Though free from all men, I make myself the slave of all, that I may win the more.

mnt@1Corinthians:9:20 @ To the Jews I am become like a Jew, that I may win Jews; to those under the Law, like one under the Law, though I am not under the Law, myself;

mnt@1Corinthians:9:22 @ I am become weak to the weak, to win the weak. I am become all these things to all men that, by any and by all means, I may save some.

mnt@1Corinthians:9:23 @ And I am doing it all for the gospels sake, that I may become a copartner in it.

mnt@1Corinthians:9:24 @ Do you not know that in a foot-race, though all run, only one receives the prize? So run that you may win.

mnt@1Corinthians:9:25 @ Every man who contends in the games continually trains himself by all manner of self-restraint. Now they do it to get a fading garland, but we, one that is unfading.

mnt@1Corinthians:9:26 @ For my part, then, I run with no wavering to the goal. I box not as one beating the air,

mnt@1Corinthians:10:1 @ For I would not have you ignorant, brothers, how our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea,

mnt@1Corinthians:10:3 @ They all ate of the same spiritual bread,

mnt@1Corinthians:10:4 @ and all drank from the same spiritual stream, for they were drinking from a spiritual rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ.

mnt@1Corinthians:10:6 @ Now this happened as a warning for us, that we might not long for evil things as they longed.

mnt@1Corinthians:10:7 @ And you must not be idolaters like some of them. as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, And they rose up for idol dances.

mnt@1Corinthians:10:9 @ Neither must we presume upon the patience of our Lord, as some of them presumed, and were destroyed by the serpents;

mnt@1Corinthians:10:11 @ Now these things were happening to them typically, but were written down for our admonition who stand at the meeting of the ages.

mnt@1Corinthians:10:12 @ So then let him who imagines that he is standing so securely beware lest he fall.

mnt@1Corinthians:10:13 @ No temptation has overtaken you that is beyond mans power; but God is faithful, who will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear, but will, with every temptation, provide the way of escape also, so that you may be able to withstand.

mnt@1Corinthians:10:14 @ So then, my beloved, continually flee from idolatry.

mnt@1Corinthians:10:15 @ I am speaking to men of sense; do you yourselves judge what I say.

mnt@1Corinthians:10:16 @ The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a common participation in the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not a common participation in the body of Christ?

mnt@1Corinthians:10:18 @ Look at Israel according to the flesh; are not those who eat the sacrifices in communion with the altar?

mnt@1Corinthians:10:19 @ What then shall we say? that an offering to an idol is anything? or that an idol is really anything?

mnt@1Corinthians:10:20 @ On the contrary, what the heathen sacrifice they sacrifice to demons and not to God, and I do not want you to have communion with demons.

mnt@1Corinthians:10:22 @ What! would we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he?

mnt@1Corinthians:10:24 @ Let not each one be always seeking his own, but rather his neighbors good.

mnt@1Corinthians:10:25 @ Eat anything that is for sale in the markets, asking no questions for conscience sake;

mnt@1Corinthians:10:27 @ If one who is not a believer invites you to his house, and you wish to go, eat everything that is set before you, without asking questions for conscience sake.

mnt@1Corinthians:10:28 @ But if any one tells you, "This food has been offered in sacrifice," do not eat it, for the sake of him who told you,

mnt@1Corinthians:10:30 @ If I eat after giving thanks, why am I denounced for eating that for which I have given thanks?"

mnt@1Corinthians:10:31 @ Because whether you are eating or whether you are drinking, you are to do it all for the glory of God.

mnt@1Corinthians:10:33 @ For so I also try to please all men in every way, not by seeking my own good, but the good of the many, that they may be saved.

mnt@1Corinthians:11:1 @ Be imitators of me, as I am an imitator of Christ.

mnt@1Corinthians:11:3 @ But I wish you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, and of a wife her husband is head; and that God is head of Christ.

mnt@1Corinthians:11:9 @ And man was not created for woman, but woman for man.

mnt@1Corinthians:11:13 @ Judge of this for your own selves. It is fitting that a woman should pray to God with her head unveiled.

mnt@1Corinthians:11:14 @ Nor does nature itself teach you that it is a disgrace to a man to have long hair,

mnt@1Corinthians:11:16 @ If, however, any one is inclined to be disputatious regarding such a custom, let him know that neither I nor the churches of God hold to such a custom.

mnt@1Corinthians:11:18 @ To begin with, I am told - and I believe there is some truth in it - that when you meet at a church there are divisions among you.

mnt@1Corinthians:11:19 @ For there must needs be also parties among you, in order that the good may be tested and made known.

mnt@1Corinthians:11:20 @ Again, when you meet together, there is no true eating of the Lords Supper;

mnt@1Corinthians:11:21 @ for each one of you begins to eat his own supper; one goes hungry, while another gets drunk.

mnt@1Corinthians:11:22 @ What! Have you no houses in which to eat or drink? or do you wish to show your contempt for the church of God, and to shame those who have no homes to eat in? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you? In this I certainly do not praise you.

mnt@1Corinthians:11:26 @ For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you are proclaiming your Lords death until he come.

mnt@1Corinthians:11:27 @ So he that eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord unworthy must answer for a sin against the body and blood of the Lord.

mnt@1Corinthians:11:28 @ Let each man scrutinize himself, and thus let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup.

mnt@1Corinthians:11:29 @ For whoever eats and drinks without discerning the body, eats and drinks condemnation to himself.

mnt@1Corinthians:11:32 @ but through our condemnation by the Lord, we are trained so that we may not be condemned;

mnt@1Corinthians:11:34 @ If any one is hungry, let him eat at home, so that your meetings do not bring condemnation upon you. The other matters I will adjust when I come.

mnt@1Corinthians:12:2 @ You know that when you were heathen you went astray after dumb idols, wherever he be led.

mnt@1Corinthians:12:3 @ Wherefore I want you to understand that no one who speaks in the Spirit of God says, "Jesus is accursed," and no one can say, "Jesus is Lord," except in the Holy Spirit.

mnt@1Corinthians:12:7 @ Now to each man has been given his manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.

mnt@1Corinthians:12:10 @ to another the powers which work miracles, to another prophecy, to another the discernment of spirits; to another varieties of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues.

mnt@1Corinthians:12:24 @ For whereas our comely parts have no need, God has tempered the body together, giving more abundant honor to that member in which lacked;

mnt@1Corinthians:12:25 @ that there should be no disunion in the body, but that members mutual care for one another.

mnt@1Corinthians:12:28 @ And God has appointed those in the church to be first of all apostles, second, prophets, third, teachers. then workers of miracles, healers, helpers, administrators, users of various kinds of "tongues."

mnt@1Corinthians:12:31 @ Desire earnestly the greater gifts. And yet I will go on to show you a still more excellent way.

mnt@1Corinthians:13:2 @ Though I have the gift of prophecy and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

mnt@1Corinthians:13:7 @ It knows how to be silent, it is trustful, hopeful, patient, enduring.

mnt@1Corinthians:13:11 @ When I was a child I spoke like a child, felt like a child, thought like a child; now that I am become a man, I have done with childish things.

mnt@1Corinthians:13:13 @ Faith, Hope, Love endure - these three; but the greatest of these is Love.

mnt@1Corinthians:14:1 @ Hotly pursue this love, yet seek earnestly spiritual gifts, and chiefly that you may prophesy.

mnt@1Corinthians:14:3 @ But he who prophesies addresses words to men that build up, encourage, and console.

mnt@1Corinthians:14:5 @ Now I should like you all to speak with "tongues"; but I should rather that you prophesied, For he who prophesies is greater than he who speaks with tongues, unless he interprets, so that the church may be built up.

mnt@1Corinthians:14:6 @ Now brothers, if I should come to you speaking with tongues, what should I benefit you, unless I speak to you some revelation, or knowledge, or prophecy, or teaching?

mnt@1Corinthians:14:7 @ For if lifeless instruments such as the flute or the harp give no distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is fluted or harped?

mnt@1Corinthians:14:8 @ Or, for example, if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, what soldier will be prepared for battle?

mnt@1Corinthians:14:9 @ In the same way with you, if you utter unintelligible words with your tongue, how can what you say be understood? You will be speaking to the winds!

mnt@1Corinthians:14:13 @ So let him who speaks with tongues pray that he may interpret.

mnt@1Corinthians:14:15 @ What then? I will pray with my spirit, and I will pray also with my mind. I will praise God with my spirit, but I will praise him with my mind, also.

mnt@1Corinthians:14:16 @ For if you in your spirit bless God, how shall he who fills the place of the unlearned say the Amen to your thanksgiving, when he does not know what you are talking about?

mnt@1Corinthians:14:19 @ but in the church I would rather speak five words with my understanding, so as to instruct others, than ten thousand in an unknown tongue.

mnt@1Corinthians:14:20 @ Brothers, do not become children in understanding; be babes in malice, but in understanding become mature men.

mnt@1Corinthians:14:23 @ Accordingly, when the whole church assemblies, and everybody is speaking "with tongues," if there enter men unlearned or unbelieving, will they not say that you are mad?

mnt@1Corinthians:14:26 @ What follows, then, brothers? Whenever you meet together, each contributes something; a psalm, a sermon, a revelation, a tongue, an interpretation. Let all be done for edification.

mnt@1Corinthians:14:27 @ If any one speaks in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that in turn, and let some one interpret.

mnt@1Corinthians:14:30 @ But if to one as he sits there some revelation is made, let the first be silent.

mnt@1Corinthians:14:31 @ For you can all prophesy one by one; so that all may be learning, and all may be encouraged.

mnt@1Corinthians:14:34 @ "In your congregation" you write, "as in all the churches of the saints, let the women keep silence in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak. On the contrary let them be subordinate, as also says the law.

mnt@1Corinthians:14:35 @ And if they want to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home, for it is shameful for a women to speak in church."

mnt@1Corinthians:14:36 @ What, was it from you that the word of God went forth, or to you only did it come?

mnt@1Corinthians:14:37 @ If any one thinks himself a prophet or spiritual, let him recognize that what I am now writing you is a command of the Lord.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:3 @ For the very first thing I taught you was that I had myself been taught, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scripture,

mnt@1Corinthians:15:4 @ that he was buried, and that he was raised the third day, according to the Scriptures,

mnt@1Corinthians:15:6 @ Afterward he was seen at one time by more than five hundred brethren, most of whom are still alive, but some are fallen asleep.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:10 @ But by the grace of God I am what I am, and that grace of his, bestowed upon me, did not prove ineffectual. I labored more abundantly than all the rest, yet not I, but by the grace of God that is with me.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:12 @ If then, we are preaching Christ, that he rose from the dead, how are some of you saying that there is no resurrection from the dead?

mnt@1Corinthians:15:15 @ More than that, we are detected in bearing false witness against God; because we testified of God that he raised Christ from the dead, whom he did not raise, if indeed the dead rise not.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:18 @ More than that, those who are sleeping in Christ have perished.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:21 @ For since by man came to death, by man came also the resurrection from the dead.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:23 @ But each in his own order; Christ the first-fruits, then those who belong to Christ at his appearing.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:24 @ And then the end, when he shall hand over his kingdom to God his Father, after he has abolished all rule and authority and power.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:26 @ The last enemy that will be destroyed is Death.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:27 @ For He hast put all things under his feet, but in that quotation All things are put under him, it is evident that God is excepted, who put all things under Him.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:28 @ For when everything is subjected to him, then the Son himself shall subject himself to Him who made them subject, that God may be all in all.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:29 @ Else what shall they do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are really not raised, why are they baptized for them?

mnt@1Corinthians:15:31 @ Every day I am facing death, my brothers, I affirm it by that pride in you which I have through Christ Jesus our Lord.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:32 @ If after the manner of men I have fought with wild beasts at Ephesus, what good does it do me? If the dead do not rise, Let us eat and drink, For we shall be dead tomorrow.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:34 @ Wake up, do justly, cease from sin; for I say to your shame that some of you have no acquaintance with God.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:35 @ But some one will ask. "How are the dead raised? and with what body are they coming?"

mnt@1Corinthians:15:37 @ And when you sow the seed you are not sowing the body that it will become, but bare grain, of wheat perhaps, or some other grain.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:38 @ But God gives it what body he pleases, and to each kind of seed its own body.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:50 @ I tell you this, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor can corruption inherit incorruption.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:54 @ And when this mortal has been clothed with immortality, then will the words of Scripture come to pass, Death has been swallowed up in victory.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:55 @ Where, Death, is thy victory? Where, Death, is thy sting?

mnt@1Corinthians:15:56 @ Now the sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the Law.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:58 @ So, my brothers beloved, stand firm, immovable, always abounding in work for the Lord, because you know that your toil is not fruitless in the Lord.

mnt@1Corinthians:16:1 @ Now concerning the offering for the saints, you also are to do as I directed the church of Galatia.

mnt@1Corinthians:16:2 @ On the first day of each week let each of you put aside something, keeping it in store as he may prosper, so that when I come there may be no collections going on.

mnt@1Corinthians:16:6 @ I shall remain some time with you; possibly spending the winter, in order that you may help me forward in whatever journey I take.

mnt@1Corinthians:16:7 @ For I do not wish at this present time to see you merely in passing; but if the Lord permits, I hope to remain some time with you.

mnt@1Corinthians:16:9 @ for a door has opened to me, great and effectual, and the opponents are many.

mnt@1Corinthians:16:10 @ If Timothy come, see to it that he is among you without trepidation; for he is doing the Lords work, as I am, so let no one disparage him.

mnt@1Corinthians:16:12 @ As for our Apollos, I have many times urged him to go to you with the others, but he was always unwilling to go to you at this time. He will come, however, whenever he has a good opportunity.

mnt@1Corinthians:16:13 @ Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, be manly, be strong.

mnt@1Corinthians:16:14 @ Let all that you do be done in love.

mnt@1Corinthians:16:15 @ I beg you this, my brothers - you know the household of Stephanus, that they were the first-fruits of Achaia, and that they devoted themselves to the service of the saints -

mnt@1Corinthians:16:17 @ I am glad that Stephanus and Fortunatus and Achaicus have arrived, for they have made up for your absence.

mnt@1Corinthians:16:18 @ They refresh my spirit as they do yours. So cultivate the acquaintance of such men.

mnt@1Corinthians:16:19 @ The churches of Asia greet you. Aquila and Priscilla (Prisca), with the church that meets in their house, greet you heartily in the Lord.

mnt@2Corinthians:1:2 @ Grace to you and peace from God our Father in the Lord Jesus Christ.

mnt@2Corinthians:1:3 @ Thanks be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort,

mnt@2Corinthians:1:4 @ who ever comforts me in all my troubles, so that I may be continually able to comfort those who are in any trouble by the comfort with which God is ever comforting me.

mnt@2Corinthians:1:6 @ If I am afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; and if I am receiving comfort, it is for your comfort - a comfort produced within you by your patient fortitude, under the same sufferings which I also am enduring.

mnt@2Corinthians:1:7 @ My hope for you is firm; for I know that as you are comrades in my sufferings, so also are you comrades in my comfort.

mnt@2Corinthians:1:8 @ Now, brothers, I want you to know about the troubles which befell me in Asia; how I was burdened altogether beyond my strength, so that I renounced all hope even of life itself.

mnt@2Corinthians:1:9 @ Indeed, I had in myself, and still have, the sentence of death, in order that I might not rely on myself, but on God who raises the dead to life.

mnt@2Corinthians:1:10 @ He delivered me from such a death, and will deliver me. On him I have set my hopes that he will continue to deliver me,

mnt@2Corinthians:1:11 @ while all of you also are helping me by your prayers; so that from many lips thanksgiving may rise on my behalf for the blessings vouchsafed to me through the intercessions of many.

mnt@2Corinthians:1:12 @ For this is my proud boast, the testimony of my conscience, that it was in holiness and with pure motives before God, not in worldly wisdom, but in the grace of God, that I have conducted myself in the world, and above all in my relations with you.

mnt@2Corinthians:1:13 @ For I am writing to you nothing different from what you read aloud and very well recognize, and I hope will continue to recognize to the very end,

mnt@2Corinthians:1:14 @ as some indeed did recognize in part at last, that I am your cause of boasting, just as you will be mine on the Day of Jesus our Lord.

mnt@2Corinthians:1:15 @ And in this confidence I intended to visit you, before going elsewhere, that you might have a pleasure twice over.

mnt@2Corinthians:1:17 @ In purposing this did I display "caprice"? Or what I purpose do I purpose in a worldly way,so that it may mean either "Yes, yes," or "No, no"?

mnt@2Corinthians:1:19 @ For Jesus Christ, Son of God, who was proclaimed among you by us, that is, by Silvanus and Timothy and me, was not wavering between "Yes" and "No," but in him is the everlasting "Yes."

mnt@2Corinthians:1:23 @ But for my part I call God to witness, as my soul shall answer for it, that it was to spare you that I came not to Corinth

mnt@2Corinthians:1:24 @ (not that I am attempting to lord it over your faith, but rather to work with you for your happiness); for your faith is stedfast.

mnt@2Corinthians:2:1 @ I decided that I would not visit you again in grief;

mnt@2Corinthians:2:3 @ And for this very reason I wrote you, that I might not come only to be grieved by those who ought to give me joy; and because I trusted in you all, that my joy is the joy of all of you.

mnt@2Corinthians:2:5 @ As to him who has been, and now is, causing pain, it is not I whom he has pained, but all of you - at least some of you (not to overstate the case).

mnt@2Corinthians:2:7 @ so that now you ought rather to forgive and comfort him, lest he should be overwhelmed by the excess of his grief.

mnt@2Corinthians:2:8 @ So I beg you to reinstate him in your love.

mnt@2Corinthians:2:9 @ For this very purpose also I wrote you (before), that I might test you, to see if you were obedient in every respect.

mnt@2Corinthians:2:10 @ If you forgive the man, I forgive him, too; for whatever I have forgiven has been forgiven in the presence of Christ,

mnt@2Corinthians:2:11 @ for your sakes, that I may not be overreached by Satan, for I am not ignorant of his devices.

mnt@2Corinthians:2:16 @ to these latter an odor of death to death, to the former, of life to life. For such service as this, who is sufficient?

mnt@2Corinthians:2:17 @ I am; for I am not like most, trafficking in the word of God, but rather from a sincere heart, like a man of God, I speak in Christ, in the very presence of God.

mnt@2Corinthians:3:1 @ Am I beginning again to "recommend" myself? Or do I need, as some do, letters of commendation either to you or from you?

mnt@2Corinthians:3:3 @ Since all can see that you are a letter of Christ transcribed by men, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone, but on human hearts as tablets.

mnt@2Corinthians:3:5 @ Not that I am sufficient in myself to reach any conclusion in my own wisdom; but my sufficiency is from God.

mnt@2Corinthians:3:7 @ If, however, the administration of death, written with letters and engraved on stones, began in glory, so that the children of Israel could not gaze steadily on the face of Moses, because of the glory of his face - a glory even then fading -

mnt@2Corinthians:3:9 @ For if the ministry of condemnation had glory, far more is the ministry of righteousness radiant in glory.

mnt@2Corinthians:3:10 @ Indeed that which once was glorious has lost its glory, because of the glory which surpasses it.

mnt@2Corinthians:3:11 @ For if that which was fading came in glory, far more will that which ever abides be glorious.

mnt@2Corinthians:3:12 @ Therefore, cherishing such a hope, I use great freedom of speech.

mnt@2Corinthians:3:14 @ Nay, their minds were made dull; for to this very day, at the public reading of the Old Testament, the same veil rests thereon, because it is not revealed to them that in Christ the veil is taken away.

mnt@2Corinthians:4:2 @ I have renounced the hidden things of shame, not spending my life in craftiness, nor adulterating the word of God; but setting forth the truth openly, I strive to commend myself to every mans conscience as in the sight of God.

mnt@2Corinthians:4:3 @ But even if my gospel, too, is "veiled," it is among those who are on the way to perish that it is "veiled."

mnt@2Corinthians:4:4 @ Among them the god of this age has blinded the understanding of the unbelieving so that the sunshine of the gospel of God, should not dawn upon them.

mnt@2Corinthians:4:5 @ It is not myself that I proclaim, but Christ Jesus as Master, and myself that I proclaim, and myself your slave for Jesus sake.

mnt@2Corinthians:4:6 @ For God who said, "Out of darkness light shall shine," is he who has shone in my heart, that the sunrise of the knowledge of God may shine forth in the face of Christ.

mnt@2Corinthians:4:7 @ But I hold this treasure in an earthen vessel, in order that the surpassing greatness of the power may be from God, and not from myself.

mnt@2Corinthians:4:10 @ Wherever I go, I am always carrying about in my body the dying of Jesus, in order that the life also of Jesus may be made manifest in this body of mine.

mnt@2Corinthians:4:11 @ For, alive though I am, I am always given over to death for the sake of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may shine forth in my dying flesh.

mnt@2Corinthians:4:12 @ So while death is working in me, life is working in you.

mnt@2Corinthians:4:14 @ For I know that He who raised from the dead the Lord Jesus, will raise me also with Jesus, and set me at your side in his presence.

mnt@2Corinthians:4:15 @ For everything is for your sakes, so that more abundant grace, because of the thanksgiving of many voices, might overflow to the glory of God.

mnt@2Corinthians:4:18 @ while I am gazing not at things seen, but at things unseen; for things seen are temporal, but things unseen are eternal.

mnt@2Corinthians:5:2 @ For in this tent I am groaning, earnestly longing to be under the cover of my heavenly habitation; if so be that being so covered,

mnt@2Corinthians:5:4 @ For in this tent of mine I am groaning in deep trouble; not that I wish to be unclothed, but to be clothed upon, that what is mortal may be swallowed up in life.

mnt@2Corinthians:5:6 @ Therefore I am always of good courage, because I well know that while I am at home in the body, I am in banishment from the Lord,

mnt@2Corinthians:5:8 @ So I have good courage, and am well pleased rather, to be in banishment from the body and to be at home with the Lord.

mnt@2Corinthians:5:10 @ For we must all be made manifest, in our true characters, before the Judgment-seat of Christ; so that each one may receive according to that which he has done in his body, whether good or evil.

mnt@2Corinthians:5:11 @ So, because I know the fear of God, I "persuade men." What I am is manifest to God, and I hope manifest also to your conscience.

mnt@2Corinthians:5:12 @ I am not "commending myself to you again," but I am giving you an occasion of boasting on my behalf, so that you may have an answer ready for those who boast in externals, and not in the heart.

mnt@2Corinthians:5:14 @ For the love of Christ overmasters me; because I thus judge that if One has died for all, then all have died;

mnt@2Corinthians:5:15 @ and that he died for all in order that the living may live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died and rose again for them.

mnt@2Corinthians:5:17 @ So there is a new creation when any man is in Christ. The old life has passed away, behold, the new is come.

mnt@2Corinthians:5:18 @ And all this is from God, who through Christ reconciled me to himself, and gave me the ministry of reconciliation;

mnt@2Corinthians:5:19 @ how that God was in Christ reconciling a world to himself, not reckoning to men their trespasses; and that to me he has entrusted the message of that reconciliation.

mnt@2Corinthians:5:20 @ On Christs behalf, then, I come as ambassador. It is as though God was entreating you, through me, on Christs behalf I beg you to be reconciled to God.

mnt@2Corinthians:5:21 @ Him who knew no sin, in our behalf he has made to be sin; so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

mnt@2Corinthians:6:2 @ For he said. In an acceptable time have I heard thee, And in the day of salvation have I succored thee. Behold, now is the acceptable time! behold, now is the day of salvation!

mnt@2Corinthians:6:3 @ I am giving no one a cause of stumbling in order that my ministry may not be discredited;

mnt@2Corinthians:6:5 @ by floggings, by imprisonment; in riots, in labors, in sleepless watching, in hunger and thirst;

mnt@2Corinthians:6:6 @ with purity, understanding, patience, and kindness; by the Holy Spirit, by love sincere,

mnt@2Corinthians:6:7 @ by a true teaching and an energy divine; by the weapons of righteousness, for attack or for defense,

mnt@2Corinthians:6:9 @ as unknown and yet well known; as at deaths door, yet, strange to tell, I live on; as chastened, but not killed;

mnt@2Corinthians:6:14 @ Be not unequally yoked with unbelievers; for what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? what communion has light with darkness?

mnt@2Corinthians:6:15 @ What concord has Christ with Belial? What portion has a believer with an unbeliever?

mnt@2Corinthians:6:16 @ And what compact has Gods temple with idols? For we are a temple of the living God, as he has said. I will dwell among them, and walk about among them; I will be their God, and they will be my people.

mnt@2Corinthians:6:17 @ Therefore, Come out from among them and separate yourselves, saith the Lord, touch not what is unclean;

mnt@2Corinthians:6:18 @ then I will receive you and will be to you a Father, and you shall be to me sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

mnt@2Corinthians:7:4 @ Great is my faith in you; great is my cheerful assurance in you. I am filled with comfort; in spite of all my troubles, my heart is overflowing with joy.

mnt@2Corinthians:7:7 @ and not alone by his coming, but also by the comfort you had been to him. For he told me of your eager longing, of your penitence, and of your zeal on my behalf, so that I was happier still.

mnt@2Corinthians:7:8 @ Even if I caused you pain by my letter, I do not regret; though I did regret it when I saw that my letter had caused you pain, even for a time.

mnt@2Corinthians:7:10 @ For your pain came from God, and so you took no harm from me. For the pain which is from God works repentance leading to salvation, a repentance never to be regretted. But the worlds pain works death.

mnt@2Corinthians:7:11 @ Note the results of this pain which God permitted; what earnestness it has called forth in you, what explanations, what indignation, what alarm, what longing, what fervor, what punishment of wrong. In every way you have proved yourselves innocent in the matter.

mnt@2Corinthians:7:13 @ This is what comforts me. In addition to this comfort of mine, I have been made still happier by the happiness of Titus; because his spirit was refreshed by you all.

mnt@2Corinthians:7:14 @ Although I have been boasting a little to him about you, I have not been put to shame. But as in every matter I have spoken the truth to you, so also my boast to Titus has been proved to be the truth.

mnt@2Corinthians:7:15 @ And his tender affection is all the greater toward you, when he calls to mind the obedience of you all, and the fear and trembling with which you received him.

mnt@2Corinthians:7:16 @ I rejoice that I have complete confidence in you.

mnt@2Corinthians:8:3 @ For I can testify that according to their ability, and even beyond their ability, of their own free will, too, they have given help.

mnt@2Corinthians:8:4 @ With earnest entreaty they craved of me the privilege of a share in ministering to the saints in Jerusalem.

mnt@2Corinthians:8:6 @ With the result that I have been begging Titus that, as he had been the one to begin the work with you, so he should complete among you this grace also.

mnt@2Corinthians:8:7 @ Now then, as you excel in everything, in faith and utterance and knowledge and all zeal and in your love to me, see to it that you excel in this grace also.

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

mnt@2Corinthians:8:10 @ And I will give you my opinion in this matter; for this offering is fitting in your case, considering that you made a beginning before others, not only in the willingness to do something but also in actually doing something a year ago.

mnt@2Corinthians:8:11 @ So now complete the doing of it also, in order that just as there was the readiness to will, so there may be the accomplishment according to your means.

mnt@2Corinthians:8:12 @ For if there be first willing mind, the gift is accepted according to what a man has, and not according to what he has not.

mnt@2Corinthians:8:14 @ but burdens are to be equalized. Now your abundance at this present time present time is a supply for their want, in supply for your want; and so burdens be equalized,

mnt@2Corinthians:8:15 @ even as it is written, He who gathered much had nothing over, and he who gathered little did not lack.

mnt@2Corinthians:8:16 @ But thanks be to God who has inspired in the heart of Titus the same zeal on your behalf that I have.

mnt@2Corinthians:8:18 @ And I am sending with him that brother whose fame in the service of the gospel is spread through all the churches.

mnt@2Corinthians:8:19 @ More than that, he is the one chosen by the churches to accompany me on my journey, in administering this gift of yours for the Lords glory. And this has my full consent,

mnt@2Corinthians:8:20 @ because I am on my guard in this, that no one should blame me, in respect to this bounty which I am administering.

mnt@2Corinthians:8:21 @ For I aim at being above reproach, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.

mnt@2Corinthians:8:22 @ With them I am sending our brother of whose zeal I have often had proof in many ways, and who is now zealous because of his great confidence in you.

mnt@2Corinthians:8:23 @ As for Titus, remember that he is a partner of mine, and is also my associate in labors for you. As for the other brothers, remember that they are delegates from the churches, men in whom Christ is glorified.

mnt@2Corinthians:8:24 @ So show to the churches an evidence of your love, and a justification to these brothers of my boasting about you.

mnt@2Corinthians:9:1 @ It is indeed unnecessary for me to write you in regard to the ministration to the saints at Jerusalem,

mnt@2Corinthians:9:2 @ for I know how ready you are, and am always boasting about you to the Macedonians, telling them that Greece has been ready for a year past; and your zeal has been a spur to the majority of them.

mnt@2Corinthians:9:3 @ Nevertheless I am sending the brothers in order that my boast about you may not prove vain in this instance; so that, as I kept saying, you may be prepared.

mnt@2Corinthians:9:5 @ So I have thought that I must ask these brothers to visit you beforehand, and get your promised contribution ready in advance. I want it to be given of your bounty, not extorted from your covetousness.

mnt@2Corinthians:9:7 @ But let each give according to the purpose of his heart; not grudgingly of under compulsion. It is a cheerful giver that God loves.

mnt@2Corinthians:9:8 @ And God is able to give you an overflowing measure of every grace, so that all your wants of every kind may be supplied at all times, and you may give of your abundance to every good work;

mnt@2Corinthians:9:9 @ As it is written. He scattered broadcast, he gave to the poor; His almsgiving continues forever.

mnt@2Corinthians:9:11 @ You yourselves will be enriched with all good things, that you may give ungrudgingly; and your gifts, of which I am the agent, will make men give thanks to God.

mnt@2Corinthians:9:13 @ For this ministration proves you. On account of it men glorify God for your faithfulness to your professions of the gospel of Christ, and for the liberality of your gifts to them and to all.

mnt@2Corinthians:9:14 @ Moreover, in their prayers for you they will be longing after you, because of the exceeding grace of God that is resting upon you.

mnt@2Corinthians:10:2 @ I beseech you, and I say, do not make me show my boldness, when I come in the boldness with which I think I shall show my courage against some who think that I am walking on the low level of the flesh.

mnt@2Corinthians:10:5 @ For I pull down imaginations and every crag that lifts itself against the knowledge of God. And I carry every thought away into captivity and subjection to Christ;

mnt@2Corinthians:10:7 @ Look these facts in the face. If any man is fully persuaded as regards himself that he belongs to Christ, let him consider again with himself, that just as he is Christs, so also am I.

mnt@2Corinthians:10:11 @ Let such a man assure himself that my actions, when I am present, will be just like my words in my letters when I am absent.

mnt@2Corinthians:10:15 @ I am not "boasting beyond measure in the labors of others," but it is my hope that, as your faith goes on increasing among yourselves, by the enlargement of my appointed limits,

mnt@2Corinthians:10:18 @ For a man is proved worthy, not by his self-commendation, but when he is commended by the Lord.

mnt@2Corinthians:11:1 @ Would that you could put up with a little "folly" from me! Nay, do bear with me.

mnt@2Corinthians:11:2 @ I have a divine jealousy on your behalf; for I betrothed you to one only husband, even to Christ, that I might present you to him, a chaste virgin.

mnt@2Corinthians:11:5 @ For I reckon that I am in no respect behind your superapostolic apostles.

mnt@2Corinthians:11:6 @ Yes, though I be unskilled in speech, at least I am not in knowledge; indeed I made this perfectly plain to you in all things and among all men.

mnt@2Corinthians:11:7 @ Is it a sin, forsooth, that I humbled myself that you might be exalted, in preaching the gospel to you free of cost?

mnt@2Corinthians:11:9 @ Even when I lacked the actual necessities of life while I was with you, I was a burden to no one; for whatever I lacked, the brothers from Macedonia supplied, when they came. So I kept myself from being a burden to you in any way, and will continue to do so.

mnt@2Corinthians:11:12 @ I am doing and will continue to do this in order to cut away the ground from under those who wish some cause for slander; and that the ground of their boasting may appear as does mine.

mnt@2Corinthians:11:14 @ No wonder! for Satan himself disguises himself as an angel of light.

mnt@2Corinthians:11:15 @ It is no great marvel, then, if his ministers also disguise themselves as ministers of righteousness. Their end will be according to their works.

mnt@2Corinthians:11:16 @ I say again, let no one think me a fool. Or, if you must, at least bear with me as a fool, that I, too, may do a little boasting.

mnt@2Corinthians:11:17 @ What I am about to say I am not speaking by the Lords command, but as it were in pure folly, in this boldness of boasting.

mnt@2Corinthians:11:20 @ You put up with it, though they make slaves of you, live on you, seize your property, lord it over you, even strike you in the face, in the way of degradation!

mnt@2Corinthians:11:21 @ I say that I was weak, and yet for whatever reason any one is bold (I speak in mere folly) I too am bold.

mnt@2Corinthians:11:23 @ Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as though I were beside myself), such, far, more, am I; in labors more abundant, in imprisonments also more abundant, in floggings beyond measure, in deaths often.

mnt@2Corinthians:11:24 @ Five times at the hands of the Jews, I have received one short of forty lashes.

mnt@2Corinthians:11:27 @ in toil and weariness, often in sleepless watching, in hunger and thirst, often without anything to eat; in cold and in nakedness.

mnt@2Corinthians:11:29 @ Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is caused to stumble, but I burn with indignation?

mnt@2Corinthians:11:31 @ The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, he who is blessed forever, knows that I am telling the truth.

mnt@2Corinthians:12:1 @ I am forced to boast, though it is unprofitable, but I will go on to visions and revelations of the Lord.;18 I urged Titus to go, and with him I sent our brother. Did Titus make gain of you? And did I not walk in the same spirit as he did? Did I not take the very same steps?

mnt@2Corinthians:12:6 @ If I should choose to continue boasting I should not be foolish, for I should be speaking the truth. But I refrain, lest by the stupendous grandeur of the revelation any one should estimate me beyond what he sees in me, or hears from me.

mnt@2Corinthians:12:7 @ It was for this reason, lest I should be over-elated, that there was given me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan, to buffet me, lest I should be over-elated.

mnt@2Corinthians:12:8 @ Concerning this, three times over I supplicated the Lord that it might leave me;

mnt@2Corinthians:12:9 @ but he has answered me. "My grace is sufficient for you; it is in weakness that my power is perfected."

mnt@2Corinthians:12:10 @ Most gladly therefore will I boast rather of my weakness, that over me like a tent may be pitched the power of Christ. That is why I rejoice in weakness, in ill-treatment, in troubles, in persecutions and calamities for Christs sake. For when I am weak, then am I strong.

mnt@2Corinthians:12:11 @ I am become a fool - you have forced me to; for you yourselves ought to have been my vindicators. In no respect am I inferior to these superapostolic apostles, even though I am nothing.

mnt@2Corinthians:12:12 @ In truth the signs of the true apostle were wrought among you in all patience by signs and marvels and powers.

mnt@2Corinthians:12:13 @ In what respect, then, were you inferior to the other churches, except that I myself was not a burden to you? Forgive me this wrong!

mnt@2Corinthians:12:16 @ But though it be granted that I was not a burden to you, yet, you say, this was my cunning with which I caught you by a trick.

mnt@2Corinthians:12:19 @ Do you think that all this time I am defending myself to you? It is before the presence of God that I am speaking in Christ; and all, beloved, for your upbuilding.

mnt@2Corinthians:12:20 @ For I dread that perhaps, when I come, I may not find you to be such as I wish, and that I may be found by you such as you do not wish; I dread lest there should be quarrels, jealousy, tempers, party spirit, slandering, gossip, arrogance, tumults;

mnt@2Corinthians:13:5 @ Examine yourselves to see if you are in the faith; put your own selves to the proof. Or do you not know, your own selves, that Jesus Christ is in you, unless indeed you fail to abide the proof?

mnt@2Corinthians:13:6 @ But I hope you will find that I abide the proof.

mnt@2Corinthians:13:7 @ And my prayer to God is that you may do no evil; not in order that I may appear approved, but that you may do what is noble, though I should seem unable to abide the proof.

mnt@2Corinthians:13:9 @ For I am always glad whenever I am weak, but you are strong. For this also I am praying, for your perfect reformation.

mnt@2Corinthians:13:10 @ For this reason I am writing thus while absent, so that when I come, I may not have to deal sharply, according to the authority which the Lord gave me for building up, and not for pulling down.

mnt@2Corinthians:13:11 @ Finally, brothers, farewell. Aim at perfection, take courage, be of one mind, live in peace; so shall the God of love and peace be with you.

mnt@Galatians:1:1 @ Paul, an apostle sent not from men nor by any man, but by Jesus Christ and by God the Father who raised him from the dead;

mnt@Galatians:1:2 @ with all the brothers who are with me. To the churches of Galatia greeting.

mnt@Galatians:1:3 @ Grace be to you, and peace from God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ,

mnt@Galatians:1:4 @ who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil age in accordance with the will of our God and Father,

mnt@Galatians:1:5 @ to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.

mnt@Galatians:1:6 @ I am amazed that you are so soon shifting your ground, and deserting him who called you by the grace of Christ,

mnt@Galatians:1:7 @ for another gospel, which indeed is not another; only there are certain individuals who are troubling you, and desiring to pervert the gospel of Christ.

mnt@Galatians:1:8 @ But even though I myself or an angel from heaven were to preach any gospel other than that which I did preach to you, let him be accursed.

mnt@Galatians:1:9 @ I have said it before, and I now repeat it, if any one is preaching a gospel to you other than that which you have received, let him be accursed.

mnt@Galatians:1:10 @ Think you that I am now trying to conciliate men or God? Or am I "seeking to please men"? If I were still seeking to please men, I should not be a slave of Christ.

mnt@Galatians:1:11 @ For I would have you know, brothers, that the gospel I preach is not man-made;

mnt@Galatians:1:12 @ for neither did I myself receive it from man, nor by man was I taught it, but by a revelation an apocalypse of Jesus Christ.

mnt@Galatians:1:13 @ For you have heard of my former conduct in Judaism, how furiously I used to persecute the church of God, and how I kept seeking to root it out;

mnt@Galatians:1:14 @ and how in my zeal for Judaism I outstripped many of my own age and nation, in my special zeal for the traditions of my forefathers.

mnt@Galatians:1:15 @ But when God who had set me apart from my very birth,

mnt@Galatians:1:16 @ and had called me by his grace, was pleased to reveal his Son in me, so that I might preach his gospel among the Gentiles, without consulting a human being,

mnt@Galatians:1:17 @ or even going up to Jerusalem to see those who had been apostles before me, I went off at once to Arabia, and on my return came back to Damascus.

mnt@Galatians:1:18 @ Then three years later I went up to Jerusalem to get acquainted with Peter, and spent two weeks with him.

mnt@Galatians:1:19 @ I saw no other apostle except James, the Lords brother.

mnt@Galatians:1:20 @ (In what I am now writing, I call God to witness that I am telling the truth.)

mnt@Galatians:1:21 @ Then I went into the districts of Syria and Cilicia.

mnt@Galatians:1:22 @ But to the churches of Christ in Judea I was personally unknown;

mnt@Galatians:1:23 @ only they used to hear it said, "He who was once persecuting us is now preaching the gospel of the very faith which he once tried to ruin."

mnt@Galatians:1:24 @ And they were giving glory to God on my account.

mnt@Galatians:2:1 @ Fourteen years later I went up to Jerusalem again, with Barnabas, and took Titus also with me

mnt@Galatians:2:2 @ (I went up at that time in obedience to a revelation). And I laid before them the gospel which I am wont to preach among the Gentiles. I did this privately before those in authority, lest by any means I should be running, or should already have run, in vain.

mnt@Galatians:2:3 @ But although Titus, my companion, was a Greek, they did not compel even him to be circumcised.

mnt@Galatians:2:4 @ Yet there were false brethren who had crept in to spy out the freedom we enjoy in Christ Jesus, in order to enslave us again.

mnt@Galatians:2:5 @ To them we did not yield submission even for an hour, in order that the truth of the gospel might abide unshaken among you.

mnt@Galatians:2:6 @ But those in authority - what they once were makes no difference to me; God is no respecter of persons - those I say who were in authority had no additions to make my message.

mnt@Galatians:2:7 @ On the contrary, when they saw that I had been entrusted with the gospel for the uncircumcised, just as Peter has with the gospel for the circumcised

mnt@Galatians:2:8 @ (for he who has equipped Peter for the apostleship to the circumcised, equipped me also for the apostleship to the Gentiles),

mnt@Galatians:2:9 @ and when they recognized the grace which had been given to me, James and Cephas and John, then thought to be pillars, gave to Barnabas and to me the right hand of fellowship. They agreed that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the Jews.

mnt@Galatians:2:10 @ They stipulated only that we should remember the poor, which very thing indeed I was quite eager to do.

mnt@Galatians:2:11 @ But when Cephas came to Antioch I resisted him to his face, because he stood self-condemned.

mnt@Galatians:2:12 @ For until certain men came from James he used to eat with the Gentile Christians, but when they came, he began to draw back and to separate himself, because he was afraid of the circumcision party.

mnt@Galatians:2:13 @ And the rest of the Jewish Christians also dissimulated with him, so that even Barnabas was carried away by their hypocrisy.

mnt@Galatians:2:14 @ But when I saw that they were not walking a straight path, in the presence of the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas before them all. "If you, although you are a Jew, live like the Gentiles and not like the Jews, why do you try to compel the Gentiles to become Jews?

mnt@Galatians:2:15 @ "We are Jews by birth, and not Gentile sinners;

mnt@Galatians:2:16 @ "yet because we know that no man is justified by the works of the Law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, we ourselves also have put our faith in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the Law; for "By the works of the Law shall no flesh be justified."

mnt@Galatians:2:17 @ But if while seeking to be justified in Christ we ourselves also have been found to be sinners, is Christ then a minister of sin? Far from it!

mnt@Galatians:2:18 @ For if I am rebuilding the very things which I destroyed, I am proving myself a transgressor.

mnt@Galatians:2:19 @ For it is through law I died to law, in order to live to God.

mnt@Galatians:2:20 @ I have been crucified with Christ, so it is no longer I who am living, but it is Christ who is living in me; and the life I am now living in the flesh, I am living in faith of the Son of God who loved me and gave himself up for me.

mnt@Galatians:2:21 @ I do not annul the grace of God; for if righteousness comes by way of the Law, then indeed Christ died Christ for nothing.

mnt@Galatians:3:1 @ O foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you? You, before whose very eyes Jesus Christ was placarded as crucified!

mnt@Galatians:3:2 @ Answer me this one question. "When you received the Spirit, was it from doing what the Law commands or from believing the message heard?"

mnt@Galatians:3:3 @ Are you so without sense? After beginning with the Spirit, will you now end with the flesh?

mnt@Galatians:3:4 @ Did you have such experience to no purpose - if indeed it was really to no purpose?

mnt@Galatians:3:5 @ Does he then who supplies you with his Spirit and works miracles among you, do it because you do what the law commands of because you believe the message heard?

mnt@Galatians:3:6 @ Even as Abraham believed God and it was counted to him for righteousness?

mnt@Galatians:3:7 @ Notice then that the true sons of Abraham are children of faith.

mnt@Galatians:3:8 @ And the Scripture, anticipating Gods justification of the Gentiles by faith, announced the gospel to Abraham beforehand in the words, In thee shall all the Gentiles be blessed.

mnt@Galatians:3:9 @ So then they who are children of faith are blessed with Abraham the faithful;

mnt@Galatians:3:10 @ but a curse rests on those who have their root in the works of the Law; for it is written. Cursed is every one that continues not in all the things written in the Book of the Law, to do them.

mnt@Galatians:3:11 @ And it is manifest that by the Law no man is justified in the sight of God. because The just shall live by faith,

mnt@Galatians:3:12 @ and the Law has nothing to do with faith, but declares, The man that has done these things shall live therein.

mnt@Galatians:3:13 @ Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the Law by becoming a curse for us (for it is written, Cursed is every one who is hanged upon a tree),

mnt@Galatians:3:14 @ to the end that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles, so that through faith we might receive the promised Spirit.

mnt@Galatians:3:15 @ Let me illustrate, brothers, from every-day life. When once a human testament is made, and formally ratified, no one sets it aside or adds to it.

mnt@Galatians:3:16 @ Now it was to Abraham that the promises were spoken, and to his offspring. God did not say, "offsprings" as if speaking of many, but "and to your offspring," as of one; and this is Christ.

mnt@Galatians:3:17 @ I mean to say that the testament which God has already ratified could not be annulled by the Law which came four hundred and thirty years later, so as to make the Promise void.

mnt@Galatians:3:18 @ For if the inheritance comes from law, it no longer comes from a promise; but God did give it as a free gift to Abraham by a promise.

mnt@Galatians:3:19 @ To what purpose, then, was the Law? It was imposed later for the sake of transgressions, until the "Offspring" should come to whom the promise had been made. It was arranged through angels by the hand of a mediator.

mnt@Galatians:3:20 @ (Now a mediator implies more than one person, but God is only one.)

mnt@Galatians:3:21 @ Is the Law then opposed to the promises of God? Certainly not; for if a law had been given which could make alive, then righteousness would actually have come from law;

mnt@Galatians:3:22 @ but the Scripture has shut up the whole world in prison together under sin, in order that the promise due to faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who have faith.

mnt@Galatians:3:23 @ Before the Faith came we were perpetual prisoners under the Law, in preparation for the destined faith about to be revealed.

mnt@Galatians:3:24 @ So the Law has been our tutor-slave our pedagogue to lead us to Christ, so that we may be justified by faith;

mnt@Galatians:3:25 @ but now that the Faith is come, we are no longer under a tutor-slave.

mnt@Galatians:3:26 @ You are all sons of God through your faith in Jesus Christ.

mnt@Galatians:3:27 @ For all of you who were baptized into Christ, have clothed yourselves with Christ.

mnt@Galatians:3:28 @ In him there is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

mnt@Galatians:3:29 @ And if you belong to Christ, then you are the descendants of Abraham, heirs according to the promise.

mnt@Galatians:4:1 @ What I mean is this. As long as the heir is a child, he differs in no respect from a slave, though he be the owner of the whole inheritance;

mnt@Galatians:4:2 @ but is under the control of guardians and trustees, until the time appointed by his father.

mnt@Galatians:4:3 @ So we Jews also, when we were children, were held in bondage under the empty externalities of the world.

mnt@Galatians:4:4 @ But when the fulness of time was come God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under law,

mnt@Galatians:4:5 @ to redeem from captivity those under law, in order that we might receive our sonship.

mnt@Galatians:4:6 @ And because you are sons, God sent forth the spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, "Dear, dear Father!"

mnt@Galatians:4:7 @ So each one of you is no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir, too, through Gods grace.

mnt@Galatians:4:8 @ But once, when you Gentiles had no knowledge of God, you were slaves to gods which have no real being.

mnt@Galatians:4:9 @ Now, however, when you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how is it that you are beginning to turn back to those weak and beggarly externalities, eager to be in bondage to them again?

mnt@Galatians:4:10 @ You are scrupulous, are you, in observing "days" and "months" and "seasons" and "years"?

mnt@Galatians:4:11 @ I am alarmed about you for fear lest I may have bestowed labor on you to no purpose.

mnt@Galatians:4:12 @ Brothers, I beseech you, become as I am, because I also have become as you are. You never did me any wrong;

mnt@Galatians:4:13 @ on the contrary, you know that although it was illness which brought about my preaching the gospel to you at my first visit,

mnt@Galatians:4:14 @ and although my bodily affliction was a trial to you, you did not scoff at it nor spurn me, but welcomed me like an angel of God, like Christ Jesus himself.

mnt@Galatians:4:15 @ Why then did you account yourselves so happy? (For I bear you witness that if you could you would have torn out your own eyes and given them to me.)

mnt@Galatians:4:16 @ Am I then become your enemy, because I am telling you the truth?

mnt@Galatians:4:17 @ These men are courting your favor to no good purpose. They want to isolate you, so that you will be courting their favor.

mnt@Galatians:4:18 @ It is always an honorable thing to have your favor sought in an honorable cause, always, and not only when I am with you.

mnt@Galatians:4:19 @ O my little children, of whom I travail again in birth until Christ be formed within you!

mnt@Galatians:4:20 @ How I wish I could be with you now, that I might change my tone; for I am perplexed about you.

mnt@Galatians:4:21 @ Tell me, you who wish to be subject to the Law, why do you not listen to the Law?

mnt@Galatians:4:22 @ For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave woman and one by the free woman;

mnt@Galatians:4:23 @ but while the son by the slave woman was born according to the flesh, the son by the free woman was born in fulfilment of a promise.

mnt@Galatians:4:24 @ Now all this is an allegory, for these women are the two covenants; one from Mount Sinai, which is Hagar bearing children into bondage

mnt@Galatians:4:25 @ (for the word Hagar stands for Mt. Sinai in Arabia and represents the present Jerusalem who with her children is in bondage.)

mnt@Galatians:4:26 @ But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother.

mnt@Galatians:4:27 @ For it is written, Rejoice, O thou barren one who dost never bear, Break forth in joy, thou that dost not travail; For the children of the desolate woman are many. Yea, more than hers who has a husband.

mnt@Galatians:4:28 @ But you, brothers, are like Isaac, children of the promise;

mnt@Galatians:4:29 @ but just as in old times the son born by the flesh used to persecute the son born by the power of the Spirit, so also it is now.

mnt@Galatians:4:30 @ But what does the Scripture say? Send away the slave-woman and her son; for the slaves son shall not be heir along with the son of the free woman.

mnt@Galatians:4:31 @ So, brothers, we are the children of no slave woman, but of free woman. For freedom did not Christ set us free;

mnt@Galatians:5:1 @ stand firm then, and do not be again entangled in a yoke of bondage.

mnt@Galatians:5:2 @ Listen to me! I, Paul, declare to you that if you are to continue to follow the rite of circumcision, Christ will be no profit to you.

mnt@Galatians:5:3 @ I solemnly testify to every man who submits to circumcision that he obligates himself to keep the whole Law.

mnt@Galatians:5:4 @ If you are being justified by law, you are cut off from Christ; you are fallen away from grace.

mnt@Galatians:5:5 @ But we are not, for we through the Spirit are eagerly waiting by faith for a hope of righteousness (a hope well founded);

mnt@Galatians:5:6 @ because in Christ neither circumcision has any value, nor uncircumcision, but faith which works through love.

mnt@Galatians:5:7 @ You were running your race nobly. Who hindered you from obeying the truth?

mnt@Galatians:5:8 @ The influence brought to bear does not come from him who is calling you.

mnt@Galatians:5:9 @ A little leaven is leavening the whole lump.

mnt@Galatians:5:10 @ As for me, I am fully trusting you in the Lord that you will be no otherwise minded; but he who is trying to unsettle you will have to bear his punishment, whoever he may be.

mnt@Galatians:5:11 @ But I, brothers, if I "still preach circumcision," why am I still persecuted? Then surely the stumbling-block of the Cross has ceased to be an obstacle!

mnt@Galatians:5:12 @ Would to God that those who are trying to unsettle you would even have themselves mutilated.

mnt@Galatians:5:13 @ For you, brothers, were called for freedom; only do not make your freedom an excuse for self-indulgence, but in love enslave yourselves to one another.

mnt@Galatians:5:14 @ For the whole Law has been fulfilled in this one precept, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

mnt@Galatians:5:15 @ But if you are always biting and devouring one another, take heed lest you be utterly consumed one by another.

mnt@Galatians:5:16 @ This is my meaning. Let your steps be guided by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.

mnt@Galatians:5:17 @ For the desire of the flesh is against that of the Spirit, and the desire of the Spirit is against that of the flesh, for they two are antagonistic, so that you may not do those things that you wish.

mnt@Galatians:5:18 @ But if you are habitually led by the Spirit you are not under law.

mnt@Galatians:5:19 @ Now the works of the flesh are manifest; such, for instance, as fornication, impurity, indecency,

mnt@Galatians:5:20 @ idol-worship, sorcery, quarrels, party-spirit, jealousy, passionate anger, intrigues, factions, sectarianism,

mnt@Galatians:5:21 @ envy, drunkenness, revelings, and things like these. I tell you beforehand, as I have already told you, that those who practise such sins shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

mnt@Galatians:5:22 @ But the harvest-fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long- suffering, kindness, goodness, fidelity, gentleness, and self-control;

mnt@Galatians:5:23 @ against such there is no law.

mnt@Galatians:5:24 @ And those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and appetites.

mnt@Galatians:5:25 @ If we are living by the Spirit, let us also keep step in the Spirit.

mnt@Galatians:5:26 @ Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.

mnt@Galatians:6:1 @ Even if any one should be overtaken in a fault, brothers, you that are spiritual ought, in a gentle spirit, to restore such a one, each one of you looking to himself, lest you too be tempted.

mnt@Galatians:6:2 @ Ever be bearing one anothers burdens, and so be fulfilling the law of Christ.

mnt@Galatians:6:3 @ If a man fancies himself to be somebody when he is really nobody he is deceiving himself.

mnt@Galatians:6:4 @ Let each one test his own work, and he will then have something to be proud of by comparing himself with himself, and not with any one else;

mnt@Galatians:6:5 @ for every one must carry his own pack load.

mnt@Galatians:6:6 @ He, however, who is being taught in the message, should always share with his instructor in all the good things which he possesses.

mnt@Galatians:6:7 @ Be not deceived. God is not mocked. Whatever a man sows, that will he also reap.

mnt@Galatians:6:8 @ The man who is sowing to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption; but he who is sowing to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap life eternal.

mnt@Galatians:6:9 @ And let us not be weary in well-doing, for in due season we shall reap if we faint not.

mnt@Galatians:6:10 @ So then, as we have opportunity, let is do good to all men, but especially to those who are of the household of faith.

mnt@Galatians:6:11 @ See with what large letters I have written to you in my own handwriting!

mnt@Galatians:6:12 @ Those who are trying to compel you to be circumcised are such as wish to make a fair show in the flesh, only that they may not suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.

mnt@Galatians:6:13 @ Even those who are being circumcised, are not themselves keeping the Law, but they want you to be circumcised so that they may glory in your flesh.

mnt@Galatians:6:14 @ God forbid that I should glory in anything except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, upon which the world has been crucified to me and I have been crucified to the world.

mnt@Galatians:6:15 @ For in Jesus Christ neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.

mnt@Galatians:6:16 @ On all who will govern their lives by this rule and on the Israel of God may peace and mercy rest.

mnt@Galatians:6:17 @ From this time forth let no one trouble me, for I bear branded in my body the marks of Jesus, my Master.

mnt@Galatians:6:18 @ May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.

mnt@Ephesians:1:2 @ grace to you and peace from God our father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

mnt@Ephesians:1:3 @ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms in Christ.

mnt@Ephesians:1:4 @ Even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world to be holy and without blemish in his sight.

mnt@Ephesians:1:9 @ when he made known to us, I say, that good pleasure which he purposed in himself

mnt@Ephesians:1:10 @ for the government of the fulness of the ages, that all things in heaven and earth are alike should be gathered up in Christ, as Head.

mnt@Ephesians:1:12 @ that we who first hoped in Christ should be for the praise of his glory.

mnt@Ephesians:1:13 @ And in him, because you listened to the proclamation of the truth, the evangel of your salvation, and trusted it, you Gentiles too were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit,

mnt@Ephesians:1:17 @ I am praying that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father most glorious, may grant you a spirit of wisdom and revelation, through an intimate knowledge of himself;

mnt@Ephesians:1:18 @ and that the eyes of your heart may be flooded with light so that you may understand what is the hope of his calling, what the wealth of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,

mnt@Ephesians:1:19 @ and what the surpassing greatness of his might in us who believe, as seen in the energy of that resistless might

mnt@Ephesians:1:20 @ which he exercised in raising Christ from the dead, and in seating him at his right hand in the heavenly heights,

mnt@Ephesians:1:21 @ far above all hierarchies and authorities and powers and dominions and every name that is named, not only in this age but in that which is to come.

mnt@Ephesians:2:3 @ And among them we all once passed our lives, indulging the passions of our flesh, carrying out the dictates of our senses and temperament, and were by nature the children of wrath like all the rest.

mnt@Ephesians:2:4 @ But God, who is rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us,

mnt@Ephesians:2:6 @ together with him He raised us from the dead, and together with Christ Jesus seated us in the heavenly realm,

mnt@Ephesians:2:7 @ in order that he might show to the ages to come the amazing riches of his grace by his goodness to us in Christ Jesus.

mnt@Ephesians:2:8 @ For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is Gods gift.

mnt@Ephesians:2:9 @ It is not of works, so that any one can boast of it;

mnt@Ephesians:2:10 @ for we are his handiwork, created in Christ Jesus for good deeds, which God predestined us to make our daily way of life.

mnt@Ephesians:2:11 @ Do not forget then, that you Gentiles in the flesh, who are called "uncircumcision" by the "circumcision" made in flesh by mans hand,

mnt@Ephesians:2:18 @ because it is through him that we both have access in one spirit to the Father.

mnt@Ephesians:2:19 @ Take notice then that no longer are you strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of Gods household.

mnt@Ephesians:2:20 @ You are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner-stone.

mnt@Ephesians:3:3 @ You have heard how by direct revelation the secret truth was made known to me, as I have already briefly written you.

mnt@Ephesians:3:4 @ By reading what I have written, you can judge of my insight into that secret truth of Christ

mnt@Ephesians:3:5 @ which was not disclosed to the sons of men in former generations, as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to his holy apostles and prophets,

mnt@Ephesians:3:6 @ namely, that in Christ Jesus the Gentiles form one body with us the Jews, and are coheirs and copartners in the promise, through the gospel.

mnt@Ephesians:3:8 @ To me, who am less than the least of all saints, has this grace been given, that I should proclaim among the Gentiles the gospel of the unsearchable riches of Christ;

mnt@Ephesians:3:9 @ and should make all men see the new dispensation of that secret purpose, hidden from eternity in the God who founded the universe,

mnt@Ephesians:3:10 @ in order that now his manifold wisdom should, through the church, be made known to the principalities and powers in the heavenly sphere,

mnt@Ephesians:3:13 @ So I beg you not to lose heart over my tribulations in your behalf; they are your glory.

mnt@Ephesians:3:14 @ For this cause I bend my knees before the Father,

mnt@Ephesians:3:15 @ from whom every fatherhood in heaven and earth is named,

mnt@Ephesians:3:17 @ that Christ may make his home in your hearts through your faith; that you may be so deeply rooted and so firmly grounded in love,

mnt@Ephesians:3:18 @ that you may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is "the breadth," "the length," "the depth," and "the height,"

mnt@Ephesians:3:19 @ and may know the love of Christ which transcends all knowing, so that you may be filled with all the "plenitude" of God.

mnt@Ephesians:3:20 @ Now unto him who, according to his might that is at work within us, is able to do infinitely more than all we ask or even think,

mnt@Ephesians:5:5 @ For be well assured that no one guilty of fornication or impurity or covetousness which is idolatry, has any heritage in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

mnt@Ephesians:5:6 @ Let no man deceive you with empty arguments, for it is these vices that bring down the wrath of God upon the sons of disobedience;

mnt@Ephesians:5:10 @ Examine carefully what is well pleasing to the Lord,

mnt@Ephesians:5:11 @ and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of the darkness, but rather expose them.

mnt@Ephesians:5:12 @ For it is a shame even to speak of the things that are done by such men in secret;

mnt@Philippians:1:10 @ for testing things that differ, so that you may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ,

mnt@Philippians:1:12 @ I want you to know, brothers, that what has happened to me has turned out rather to help than to the hindrance of the gospel.

mnt@Philippians:1:13 @ Throughout the whole Praetorian guard and among all the others it has become plain that these chains of mine are for the sake of Christ;

mnt@Philippians:1:17 @ These latter out of their love, because they know that I am set here for the defense of the gospel;

mnt@Philippians:1:18 @ What of it? In any case, whether in pretence or in honest truth, Christ is still preached, and in that I am rejoicing, yes, and will rejoice.

mnt@Philippians:1:19 @ For I know that these things will turn out to my salvation through your prayers and a rich supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ.

mnt@Philippians:1:20 @ So it is my keen expectation and hope that I shall never feel ashamed, but that with fearless courage, now as hither to, Christ may be magnified in my body, whether by my life or by my death.

mnt@Philippians:1:22 @ But now, if life in the flesh, if this be the fruit of my toil - what to choose I do not know,

mnt@Philippians:1:24 @ but for your sakes it is more necessary that I should still live on in the body.

mnt@Philippians:1:25 @ And because I am convinced of this, I know that I shall live, and go on working side by side with you all for your progress and joy in the faith,

mnt@Philippians:1:26 @ so that you may find me fresh cause of exultation in Christ Jesus, because of my presence among you once more.

mnt@Philippians:1:27 @ Only do lead lives worthy of the gospel of Christ; so that whether I come to see you or hear reports concerning you in my absence, I may know that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one soul, enlisted in a common struggle for the faith of the gospel,

mnt@Philippians:1:28 @ and in no way terrorized by its enemies. For you fearlessness is a clear indication of coming ruin for them, but of salvation for you at the hands of God.

mnt@Philippians:1:30 @ while you wage the same conflict which you once saw in me, and now hear that I maintain.

mnt@Philippians:2:2 @ I entreat you to make my joy overflow by living in harmony; possessing the same love, and with one soul united in one purpose.

mnt@Philippians:2:6 @ who, though from the beginning he had the nature of God, did not reckon equality with God something to be forcibly retained,

mnt@Philippians:2:8 @ More than this, after he had shone himself in human form, he humbled himself in his obedience even to death; yes, and to death on a cross.

mnt@Philippians:2:10 @ that in the name of Jesus every knee in heaven, on earth, and under the earth should bend,

mnt@Philippians:2:11 @ and every tongue confess that "Jesus Christ is Lord," to the glory of God the Father.

mnt@Philippians:2:12 @ And so, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence, with reverence and self- distrust work out your own salvation;

mnt@Philippians:2:15 @ that you may become blameless and innocent, the sons of God, without rebuke in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine like stars in a dark world,

mnt@Philippians:2:16 @ holding out a message of life. Thus it will be my boast at the day of Christ that I have not run in vain, or toiled for nothing.

mnt@Philippians:2:17 @ Nay, even if my life is to be poured out as a libation upon the sacrifice and service of you faith,

mnt@Philippians:2:18 @ I will rejoice and congratulate you all; and in the same way you must rejoice and congratulate me.

mnt@Philippians:2:19 @ Now I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you before long, so that I may be of good comfort when I learn the news concerning you.

mnt@Philippians:2:22 @ And you know Timothys worth, how he has shared my servitude in furtherance of the gospel, like a son helping his father.

mnt@Philippians:2:24 @ but I trust in the Lord that I also shall come shortly.

mnt@Philippians:2:26 @ for he has been homesick for you all, and distressed at your having heard of his illness.

mnt@Philippians:2:27 @ And indeed he was sick nigh unto death; but God had mercy on him, and not on him only, but on me also so that I should not have sorrow upon sorrow.

mnt@Philippians:2:28 @ Therefore I have been the more eager to send him, in order that you may rejoice in seeing him again, and that I may have one sorrow less.

mnt@Philippians:2:30 @ for it was through the work of the Lord that he came near to death; for he hazarded his very life to supply what was lacking in the help you sent me.

mnt@Philippians:3:7 @ But what was once gain to me, that I have counted loss for Christ.

mnt@Philippians:3:8 @ In very truth I count all things but loss compared to the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things, and esteem them but refuse that I may gain Christ,

mnt@Philippians:3:9 @ and be found in him; not having my own righteousness of the Law, but that alone which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which comes from God, founded upon faith.

mnt@Philippians:3:10 @ I long to know him in the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of his sufferings, by sharing the likeness of his death;

mnt@Philippians:3:11 @ if by any means I might attain to the resurrection from the dead!

mnt@Philippians:3:12 @ I do not say that I have already won, or am already perfect, but I am passing on to lay hold on the prize for which also Christ has laid hold of me.

mnt@Philippians:3:13 @ Brothers, I do not regard myself to have yet laid hold of it; but this one thing I do, forgetting what is behind me, but straining every nerve toward that which lies ahead,

mnt@Philippians:3:15 @ Let us all then, who are mature Christians, strive for this! God will make this clear to any of you who are striving for other goals;

mnt@Philippians:3:16 @ if only we guide our steps by the standards we have already attained.

mnt@Philippians:3:17 @ Brothers, be comrades in imitating me, and study those whose life and walk is according to the pattern I have set you.

mnt@Philippians:3:20 @ But commonwealth is in heaven; and it is from heaven also that we are anxiously awaiting a Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ,

mnt@Philippians:4:2 @ Euodia I entreat, and I entreat Syntyche, to be of the same mind of the Lord;

mnt@Philippians:4:6 @ Do not worry about anything; but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;

mnt@Philippians:4:8 @ Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is worthy of reverence, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if virtue is anything, if honor is anything, be always thinking about these.

mnt@Philippians:4:9 @ Put in practise also what you have learned and received and heard and seen in me; and the God of peace shall be with you.

mnt@Philippians:4:10 @ Moreover, I greatly rejoiced in the Lord that now once more your care for me blossomed afresh; though indeed you did take thought in this matter, but you lacked the opportunity of expression.

mnt@Philippians:4:11 @ Not that I speak as if I were in want, for at least have learned how to be content, whatever happens.

mnt@Philippians:4:12 @ I know how to live humbly, and I also know how to bear prosperity. In every place and under all circumstances I have been initiated into the secret of fulness and of hunger, of prosperity and of want.

mnt@Philippians:4:15 @ And you very well know, Philippians, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I had left Macedonia, no church but yourselves had fellowship with me in the matter of giving and receiving.

mnt@Philippians:4:17 @ It is not your gifts I am eager for, but I am eager for the abundant profit that accrues to your divine account.

mnt@Philippians:4:18 @ But I give you a receipt in full for all things abound. I am amply supplied with what you sent by Epaphroditus - an odor of sweet fragrance, a sacrifice acceptable, well pleasing to God.

mnt@Philippians:4:20 @ Now unto our God and Father be the glory, forever and ever. Amen.

mnt@Colossians:1:2 @ to the holy and believing brothers in Christ who are in Colosse. Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father.

mnt@Colossians:1:3 @ Whenever I pray for you I am continually thanking God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ

mnt@Colossians:1:10 @ that you may walk worthy of the Lord in every kind of pleasing; that you may be fruitful in every kind of good work, and may increase in the knowledge of God;

mnt@Colossians:1:11 @ that you may be strengthened in every kind of strength by the might of his glory for every kind of patience and fortitude with good cheer.

mnt@Colossians:1:12 @ I ask that you may give thanks to the Father who has made us fit to receive our share of the heritage of the saints in the light.

mnt@Colossians:1:15 @ He is a visible image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation;

mnt@Colossians:1:16 @ for in him was the universe created, things in heaven and on earth, the seen and the unseen, thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers; by him and for him all have been created;

mnt@Colossians:1:18 @ He is the head of his Body, the Church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, in order that in all things he may become preeminent.

mnt@Colossians:1:21 @ And you, alienated as you once were, hostile at heart in your evil deeds,

mnt@Colossians:1:22 @ he has now in his human body reconciled to God by his death, in order that he may bring you into his presence, holy and unblemished and irreproachable.

mnt@Colossians:1:23 @ And this he will do if, indeed, you continue in the faith, firmly founded and stedfast, and never moved away from the hope of the gospel which you heard, and which has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, that gospel of which I, Paul, was made a minister.

mnt@Colossians:1:24 @ I am now rejoicing in my sufferings on your behalf; and I am filling up in my own body what is yet lacking of the sufferings of Christ in behalf of the church, his Body.

mnt@Colossians:1:26 @ that secret truth, which, although hidden from ages and generations of old, has now been made manifest to his saints.

mnt@Colossians:1:27 @ To them God willed to make known among the Gentiles how glorious are the riches of that secret truth, which is "Christ in you, the hope of glory."

mnt@Colossians:1:28 @ Him I am ever proclaiming, warning every one and teaching every one, in all wisdom; that I may bring every man into his presence, full grown in Christ.

mnt@Colossians:1:29 @ For that end I am ever toiling, wrestling with all that energy of his which is mightily at work within me.

mnt@Colossians:2:1 @ For I would have you know how great a contest I am waging for you and the brethren in Laodicea, and for all who have never seen my face.

mnt@Colossians:2:9 @ For it is in Christ that all the fullness of deity dwells bodily,

mnt@Colossians:2:11 @ In him also you were circumcised with a circumcision not made with hands; even in putting off your sensual nature in Christs own circumcision,

mnt@Colossians:2:12 @ when you were buried with him in baptism. In baptism also you were raised with him, through your faith in the energy of that God who raised him from the dead.

mnt@Colossians:2:13 @ And you also, at one time dead in your trespasses and in the uncircumcision of your sensual nature, he has made alive together with himself. For he forgave us all our transgressions,

mnt@Colossians:2:14 @ blotted out the handwriting of ordinances that stood against us and was hostile to us, and took it out of our way, nailing it to his cross.

mnt@Colossians:2:16 @ Therefore do not permit any one to sit in judgment on you in regard to what you may eat or drink, or in regard to feast-days or new moons or sabbaths.

mnt@Colossians:2:18 @ Let no man at his will defraud you of your prize through his false humility and worship of the angels, taking his stand on the visions he has seen, and vainly puffed up by his material mind;

mnt@Colossians:2:20 @ If you died with Christ to the worlds rudimentary notions, why, as if you still lived in the world, do you submit yourselves to dogmatisms found on teachings and doctrines of men -

mnt@Colossians:2:21 @ such as "Do not handle this," "You must not taste that," "Do not touch this" -

mnt@Colossians:3:1 @ If you then are risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ abides, seated on the right hand of God.

mnt@Colossians:3:5 @ So slay your baser inclinations. fornication, impurity, appetite, unnatural desires, and the greed which is idolatry.

mnt@Colossians:3:6 @ These things are ever bringing down the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience,

mnt@Colossians:3:8 @ But now you also must renounce them all. Anger, passion, and ill- will must be put away; slander, too, and foul talk, so that they may never soil your lips.

mnt@Colossians:3:10 @ and put on that new self which is continually made over according to the likeness of its Creator, into full understanding.

mnt@Colossians:3:11 @ In it that new creation there is no "Greek and Jew," "circumcised and uncircumcised," "barbarian," "Scythian," "slave," "free man," but Christ is all, and in us all.

mnt@Colossians:3:12 @ Therefore, as Gods chosen people, consecrated and beloved, clothe yourselves with tenderness of heart, kindness, humility, gentleness, good temper;

mnt@Colossians:3:17 @ And whatever you do, whether in word of in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God our Father through him.

mnt@Colossians:3:21 @ Fathers, do not harass your children, lest you make them spiritless.

mnt@Colossians:3:23 @ And whatever you do, do it heartily as for the Lord, and not for men.

mnt@Colossians:3:24 @ You know that from the Lord you will receive reward of the inheritance, for you are the Lord Christs slaves.

mnt@Colossians:4:1 @ Masters, deal justly and fairly with your slaves, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.

mnt@Colossians:4:3 @ Keep on praying for me, too, that God may open for me a door of utterance to speak the secret truth of Christ, for which I am a prisoner.

mnt@Colossians:4:4 @ Pray that I may unfold it as I ought to speak.

mnt@Colossians:4:7 @ Tychicus, my beloved brother and faithful minister and fellow slave in the Lord, will make known to you all that concerns me.

mnt@Colossians:4:9 @ They will inform you of all that goes on here.

mnt@Colossians:4:12 @ Epaphras, one of yourselves, salutes you, a slave of Christ who is always agonizing for you in his prayers, that you may stand firm, mature, and fully assured in all the will of God.

mnt@Colossians:4:15 @ Salute the brothers in Laodicea; Nympha also, and the church which meets at her house.

mnt@Colossians:4:16 @ And when this letter has been read to you, see that it is read also in the church of Laodiceans, and that you also read the letter from Laodicea.

mnt@Colossians:4:17 @ And tell Archippas to take heed to the ministry which he has received in the Lord, that he may fulfill it.

mnt@1Thessalonians:1:1 @ Paul and Silas and Timothy. To the church of the Thessalonians which is in God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ. Grace be to you, and peace.

mnt@1Thessalonians:1:3 @ as I call to mind your work of faith, and labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the presence of our God and Father.

mnt@1Thessalonians:1:4 @ For I know, O brothers, beloved of God, that he has chosen you;

mnt@1Thessalonians:1:6 @ Moreover, you began to follow the pattern I set you, and the Lords also, receiving the word with joy in the Holy Spirit, although amid severe persecution.

mnt@1Thessalonians:1:7 @ Thus you became a pattern to all the believers in Macedonia and Achaia.

mnt@1Thessalonians:1:8 @ For the word of the Lord has been sounded forth from you, and its sound has been heard not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place where the tidings of your faith toward God have been spread abroad, so that I have no need to speak of it.

mnt@1Thessalonians:1:10 @ and to await for the coming of his Son from the heavens, the Son whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, our Deliverer from the wrath to come.

mnt@1Thessalonians:2:1 @ For you yourselves know, brothers, that my visit to you did not fail of its purpose;

mnt@1Thessalonians:2:2 @ for you remember that although I had already borne ill-treatment and insult at Philippi, I took courage in my God to tell you the gospel of God, in the face of much opposition.

mnt@1Thessalonians:2:5 @ For as you well know, I never resorted to flattery, nor to any pretext for enriching myself. God is my witness!

mnt@1Thessalonians:2:9 @ You recall, brothers, my labor and toil; how, while working at my trade day and night, so as not to become a burden to any of you, I proclaimed to you the gospel of God.

mnt@1Thessalonians:2:11 @ You know how I was wont to treat each of you as a father treats his children,

mnt@1Thessalonians:2:13 @ For this reason also I am giving continual thanks to God, because when you heard from me the spoken word of God, you received it not as the word of men, but as the word of God (which in truth it is), who himself is effectually at work in you believe.

mnt@1Thessalonians:2:14 @ For you, brothers, began to follow the example of the churches of God in Judea, which are in Christ Jesus; and you in your turn suffered at the hands of your fellow citizens persecutions like to those which they endured from the Jews -

mnt@1Thessalonians:2:16 @ They forbid me to speak to the Gentiles with a view to their salvation. They continue always to fill up the measure of their sins; but the wrath of God is come upon them to the full!

mnt@1Thessalonians:2:18 @ For that reason I would fain have visited you - I, Paul, again and again - but Satan hindered me.

mnt@1Thessalonians:2:19 @ For what is my hope, or joy? What is the victors wreath in which I exult? What but your own selves in the presence of our Lord Jesus, at his coming! For you are my pride and my delight.

mnt@1Thessalonians:3:1 @ And so, when I could no longer bear it, I made up my mind to be left behind at Athens, all alone.

mnt@1Thessalonians:3:3 @ So that no one should be shaken by these troubles-for you know well that we are appointed to troubles.

mnt@1Thessalonians:3:4 @ For even when I was with you I used to tell you beforehand that I was to suffer affliction; and so it proved, as you know.

mnt@1Thessalonians:3:5 @ So, when I could no longer endure it, I sent to find out about your faith, fearing that the tempter had tempted you and that my labor had been in vain.

mnt@1Thessalonians:3:6 @ But now that Timothy has returned from you to me, and has brought good news of your faith and love, and that you are still holding me in affectionate remembrance, always longing to see me as I also am longing to see you.

mnt@1Thessalonians:3:9 @ For what thanksgiving can I render again to God in your behalf, in return for all the joy which you cause me in the presence of my God?

mnt@1Thessalonians:3:10 @ Night and day I am praying earnestly that I may see you face to face, and may perfect whatever is yet lacking in your faith.

mnt@1Thessalonians:3:11 @ Now may our God and Father himself, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct my path to you.

mnt@1Thessalonians:3:13 @ And so may he establish your hearts unblamable in holiness before our God and Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus, with all his saints.

mnt@1Thessalonians:4:1 @ Finally then, my brothers, I continue to beseech and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that, as you learned of me how to walk so as to please God - and you are actually doing so - that you abound in it yet more and more.

mnt@1Thessalonians:4:2 @ For you know what charges I laid upon you through the Lord Jesus.

mnt@1Thessalonians:4:3 @ For this is Gods will, even your sanctification; that you should abstain from sexual vice.

mnt@1Thessalonians:4:4 @ That each one should learn how to take a wife in purity and honor.

mnt@1Thessalonians:4:6 @ That no man overreach or take advantage of his brother in such matters, because "the Lord takes vengeance" in all these things, as also I repeatedly forewarned you and testified to you.

mnt@1Thessalonians:4:8 @ So that he who rejects this is not rejecting man, but the God who gave you his Holy Spirit.

mnt@1Thessalonians:4:9 @ It is not needed that I should write to you about brotherly love; for you yourselves have been taught by God to love one another.

mnt@1Thessalonians:4:11 @ Also, that you endeavor to live quietly and to mind your own business, and to work with your hands (as I charged you).

mnt@1Thessalonians:4:12 @ So that your conduct may be seemly toward those that are without, and that you may not need help from any man.

mnt@1Thessalonians:4:14 @ For if we really believe that Jesus died and rose again, so even so will God through Jesus bring with him those also who have fallen asleep.

mnt@1Thessalonians:4:15 @ For this I tell you by the word of the Lord, that we who are living, who survive unto the coming of the Lord, will in no wise precede those who have fallen asleep.

mnt@1Thessalonians:5:1 @ Now as to the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need that anything be written to you.

mnt@1Thessalonians:5:2 @ You yourselves know perfectly that the Day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night.

mnt@1Thessalonians:5:4 @ But you, brothers, are not in darkness, that "the Day" should come upon you like a bandit.

mnt@1Thessalonians:5:6 @ So then let us not be sleeping as do the rest, but let us be watchful and self-controlled.

mnt@1Thessalonians:5:8 @ But let us who are of the day be self-controlled, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for a helmet, the hope of salvation.

mnt@1Thessalonians:5:9 @ For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to win salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.

mnt@1Thessalonians:5:10 @ He died for us, in order that whether we are keeping vigil in life or sleeping in death we may ever be living together with him.

mnt@1Thessalonians:5:12 @ I entreat you, brothers, to acknowledge those who are toiling among you and are your leaders in the Lord, and give you counsel.

mnt@1Thessalonians:5:14 @ And, brothers, we urge you to admonish the disorderly, comfort the faint-hearted, sustain the weak, lose patience with none.

mnt@1Thessalonians:5:15 @ Take care that none of you ever return evil for evil, but always pursue what is kind to one another and to all.

mnt@1Thessalonians:5:23 @ May the God of peace consecrate you wholly; and may your spirit and soul and body be kept altogether faultless until the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

mnt@2Thessalonians:1:1 @ Paul and Silvanus and Timothy. To the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

mnt@2Thessalonians:1:2 @ Grace to you, and peace from God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

mnt@2Thessalonians:1:4 @ So that I myself am boasting about you among the churches of God, boasting of the stedfastness and faith which you are displaying in all the troubles and afflictions which you are enduring.

mnt@2Thessalonians:1:7 @ and give to you, who are now troubled, rest, along with me at the unveiling "apocalypse" of the Lord Jesus from heaven, with his mighty angels,

mnt@2Thessalonians:1:10 @ when he comes to be glorified in his saints, and to be wondered at in all believers, on that Day; (for you also believed our testimony).

mnt@2Thessalonians:1:12 @ so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in him, according to the grace of our God and of our Lord Jesus Christ.

mnt@2Thessalonians:2:1 @ Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to meet him, I entreat you, brothers,

mnt@2Thessalonians:2:2 @ not to be "quickly shaken out of your wits" and not to be agitated either by a spirit or by a message, or by an epistle purporting to be from me, saying, "The Day of the Lord is at hand."

mnt@2Thessalonians:2:3 @ Let no one deceive you by any means. For it will not come until after the Great Apostasy, and the revealing of the Man of Sin, the son of perdition,

mnt@2Thessalonians:2:4 @ the adversary, who opposes and exalts himself against all that is called God, or is an object of worship; so that he takes his seat in the Temple of God, and vaunts himself as God.

mnt@2Thessalonians:2:5 @ Do you not recall that I often told you this, when I was with you?

mnt@2Thessalonians:2:6 @ And now you know what is holding him back, to the end that he may be revealed in his appointed time.

mnt@2Thessalonians:2:7 @ For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only there is one who is hindering and will continue to hinder till he be removed;

mnt@2Thessalonians:2:8 @ and then the lawless one will be revealed. Him the Lord will consume with the breath of his lips, and destroy with the brightness of his appearing;

mnt@2Thessalonians:2:9 @ even he whose coming is according to the energy of Satan, in every power and sign and lying wonder,

mnt@2Thessalonians:2:10 @ and with all deceit of unrighteousness for those who are perishing, because they did not receive the love of the truth for their salvation.

mnt@2Thessalonians:2:11 @ For this reason God is sending on them an energy of delusion, that they should put faith in a falsehood;

mnt@2Thessalonians:2:12 @ so that they all should be condemned, who are faithless to the truth, but take pleasure in evil.

mnt@2Thessalonians:2:13 @ But for you, brothers, whom the Lord loves, I ought to give thanks to God continually, because God has chosen you from the beginning for salvation in consecration of the Spirit and belief of the truth.

mnt@2Thessalonians:2:14 @ For this he called you through my gospel, so that you might obtain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

mnt@2Thessalonians:2:16 @ And may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who has loved us and given us eternal encouragement and a good hope in grace,

mnt@2Thessalonians:3:1 @ Finally, brothers, pray on for me, that Gods word may run swiftly, and be glorified as in your own case,

mnt@2Thessalonians:3:2 @ and that I may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men; for all do not hold the faith.

mnt@2Thessalonians:3:4 @ Now we have fully fixed our faith on you in the Lord, that you are doing and will continue to do what we enjoin.

mnt@2Thessalonians:3:7 @ For you know well how you must imitate me. For I did not lead an idle or disorderly life among you;

mnt@2Thessalonians:3:8 @ I did not eat my food as a gift from any man, but in toil and travail, night and day, I worked, so that I might not be a burden to any of you.

mnt@2Thessalonians:3:9 @ Not that I have no right to such support; it was simply to give you an example for you to imitate.

mnt@2Thessalonians:3:10 @ For indeed when I was with you, I used to charge you, "If any man will not work, he shall not eat."

mnt@2Thessalonians:3:11 @ But I hear that there are those of your number who are leading idle and disorderly lives, who are not busy, but mere busybodies.

mnt@2Thessalonians:3:12 @ Now all such I command and entreat, by the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ, to work in quietness. and to earn their own living.

mnt@2Thessalonians:3:14 @ If any man does not give heed to what I have said in this letter, mark that man; do not associate with him, so as to make him feel ashamed;

mnt@2Thessalonians:3:16 @ And may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with you all.

mnt@1Timothy:1:2 @ to Timothy, my true son in the faith; Grace, mercy and peace from God, our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

mnt@1Timothy:1:3 @ As I begged you when I was setting out for Macedonia, stay where you are at Ephesus, and instruct certain individuals there not to be teaching heterodoxy,

mnt@1Timothy:1:4 @ nor to be paying attention to myths and interminable genealogies, which tend to promote discussions rather than a stewardship entrusted by God, a stewardship which is in faith.

mnt@1Timothy:1:5 @ Now the end of the exhortation is love, out of a pure heart and a good conscience and an undissembled faith.

mnt@1Timothy:1:8 @ I know well that "the Law is good" if a man use it lawfully;

mnt@1Timothy:1:9 @ but he must remember that the Law is not enacted for a good man, but for the lawless and rebellious, for the irreligious and sinful, for the godless and profane, for parricides and murderers,

mnt@1Timothy:1:10 @ for the immoral, for sexual perverts, for slave dealers, liars, perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound teaching,

mnt@1Timothy:1:12 @ And I am thankful to Christ Jesus our Lord, who has thus enabled me, that he accounted me faithful, and appointed me to his service,

mnt@1Timothy:1:14 @ And the grace of our Lord overflowed with faith and love that is in Christ Jesus.

mnt@1Timothy:1:16 @ Yet for this very cause I obtained mercy, so that in me, the chief of sinners, Jesus Christ might display all his boundless patience as an illustration for those who should later believe in him, and so gain life eternal.

mnt@1Timothy:1:20 @ Among them are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have given over to Satan, so that they may be taught not to blaspheme.

mnt@1Timothy:2:1 @ First of all then, I am urging that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be offered regularly for all men;

mnt@1Timothy:2:2 @ for kings and all who are in authority, in order that we may lead a tranquil and peaceful life in all godliness an gravity.

mnt@1Timothy:2:4 @ whose will it is that all men should be saved, and come into full knowledge of the truth.

mnt@1Timothy:2:5 @ For God is one; and one is mediator between God and man, the Man Christ Jesus,

mnt@1Timothy:2:7 @ It was for this testimony that I myself was appointed a herald and apostle (I am telling the truth, I am not lying), to be a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

mnt@1Timothy:2:8 @ My wish, then, is that in every place the men should offer prayer, lifting up holy hands, free from anger and disputation;

mnt@1Timothy:3:7 @ He should also have a good reputation among outsiders, lest he fall into reproach, and into a snare of the devil.

mnt@1Timothy:3:10 @ They should first be tested, and after that, if they are found irreproachable, let them serve as deacons.

mnt@1Timothy:3:16 @ Yes! without contradiction, great is the mystery of godliness!

mnt@1Timothy:4:1 @ Now the Spirit distinctly declares that in latter days there will be some who will fall away from the faith, by listening to spirits of error, and to teachings of demons

mnt@1Timothy:4:3 @ who discourage marriage, and enjoin abstinence from foods which God created to be received with thankfulness, by those who believe, and have a clear knowledge of the truth.

mnt@1Timothy:4:4 @ For everything that God has created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if only it is received with thankfulness.

mnt@1Timothy:4:6 @ As you lay all these things before the brothers, you will be a noble minister of Christ Jesus, nourishing yourself in the precepts of the faith and that noble teaching which you have followed.

mnt@1Timothy:5:1 @ Do not reprimand an aged man, but continue pleading with him as if he were your father. Treat the young men as brothers,

mnt@1Timothy:5:4 @ but if any widow has children or grandchildren, let these learn to show their piety first toward their own household, and to make some return to their parents, for that is pleasing in Gods sight.

mnt@1Timothy:5:14 @ It is my wish, then, that the younger widows marry, bear children, rule their houses, and give no occasion to our adversary for railing.

mnt@1Timothy:5:15 @ For already some widows have gone astray after Satan.

mnt@2Timothy:1:10 @ This has now been made manifest through the appearing of our Saviour Christ Jesus, who has put an end to death, and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.

mnt@2Timothy:1:11 @ Of the gospel I was appointed a herald, apostle, and teacher; and that is the reason I am now undergoing these sufferings.

mnt@2Timothy:1:12 @ But I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have fully believed, and I am thoroughly persuaded that he is able to keep what I have given him until the Day.

mnt@2Timothy:2:2 @ The teachings which you have heard from me, attested by many witnesses, deliver into the keeping of faithful men, who in their turn will be able to teach others also.

mnt@Philemon:1:12 @ I am sending him back to you, he himself, that is, my very heart!

mnt@Philemon:1:13 @ I could wish to retain him at my side, so that he might minister to me in your stead, in my bonds for the gospel.

mnt@Philemon:1:14 @ But without your consent I was unwilling to do anything, so that your kindness to me might be of your own free will, and not of compulsion.

mnt@Philemon:1:15 @ Perhaps for this reason you were separated from him for an hour, in order that you might have him back forever,

mnt@Philemon:1:18 @ And if he has wronged you at all, or is owing you anything, charge that to me.

mnt@Philemon:1:19 @ I Paul am writing this in my own handwriting, "I will repay you." But I will not mention that you owe me, over and over, your very soul.

mnt@Philemon:1:21 @ Because I am thoroughly persuaded of your obedience, I have written you, knowing full well that you will do by me what I am asking.

mnt@Hebrews:1:1 @ God, who in ancient days spoke to our ancestors in the prophets, at many different times and by various methods,

mnt@Hebrews:1:2 @ has at the end of these days spoken to us in a Son whom he appointed heir of all things; through whom also he made the universe.

mnt@Hebrews:1:3 @ He being an emanation of Gods glory and stamp of his substance, and upholding the universe by the utterances of his power, after by himself making purification of our sins, has taken his seat on the right hand of the Majesty on High.

mnt@Hebrews:1:4 @ He is as much superior to the angels as the name that he has inherited surpasses theirs.

mnt@Hebrews:1:5 @ For to what angel did God ever say, Thou art my son; this day have I become thy Father? and again, I will be a father to him, and he shall be to me a son?

mnt@Hebrews:1:9 @ Thou hast loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; Therefore did God, thy God, anoint thee with the oil of gladness beyond thy comrades.

mnt@Hebrews:1:10 @ And, Thou, O Lord, in the beginning didst lay the foundations of the earth, And the heavens are the work of thy hands.

mnt@Hebrews:1:13 @ To which of the angels has he ever said, Sit at my right hand, Till I make thy foes a footstool for thy feet?

mnt@Hebrews:1:14 @ Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth for service in behalf of those who are about to inherit salvation?

mnt@Hebrews:2:2 @ For if the word uttered through angels stood firm, so that every transgression and act of disobedience met with its just retribution, how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation?

mnt@Hebrews:2:4 @ God himself corroborating their testimony by signs and wonders and a variety of miraculous powers, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit imparted in accordance with his own will.

mnt@Hebrews:2:5 @ It is not to angels that God subjected the age to be, of which we are speaking.

mnt@Hebrews:2:6 @ But some one, somewhere, testified, saying. What is Man, that thou art mindful of him? Or any man, that thou carest for him?

mnt@Hebrews:2:7 @ Thou hast made him only a little lower that the angels; With glory and honor hast thou crowned him; And hast set him to govern the works of thy hands;

mnt@Hebrews:2:9 @ What we do see is Jesus, who was made for a time a little lower than the angels, now crowned with glory and honor, because of the suffering of death, in order that through Gods grace he might taste death for every man.

mnt@Hebrews:2:10 @ For it befitted him, for whom and through whom all things exist, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the Pioneer of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

mnt@Hebrews:2:14 @ Therefore, since the children are sharers in flesh and blood, he also similarly partook of the same, in order that through death he might render powerless him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;

mnt@Hebrews:2:15 @ And might deliver those who through fear of death had been subject to life-long bondage.

mnt@Hebrews:2:17 @ And so it was necessary that he should in all points be made like his brothers, so that he might become a compassionate and faithful high priest, in all that relates to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.

mnt@Hebrews:3:3 @ Jesus has been counted worthy of greater glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who has built a house has higher honor than the house itself.

mnt@Hebrews:3:6 @ but Christ as a Son in his own house; and we are that house, if we retain the cheerful courage and pride of our hope firm unto the end.

mnt@Hebrews:3:8 @ Continue not to harden your hearts as in the Provocation, On the day of temptation in the wilderness,

mnt@Hebrews:3:9 @ When your forefathers tried my forbearance And saw my deeds for forty years.

mnt@Hebrews:3:10 @ For this reason I was sore displeased with that generation, And said, "They are always wandering in their hearts; They have never learned my ways";

mnt@Hebrews:3:11 @ So I swore in my wrath, "They shall never enter into my rest."

mnt@Hebrews:3:12 @ See to it, brothers, that there shall never be in any one of you an evil and unbelieving heart, manifesting itself in apostasy from the living God.

mnt@Hebrews:3:13 @ On the contrary, encourage each other daily, so long as there is a "Today," so that no one of you is hindered by the deceitfulness of sin.

mnt@Hebrews:3:15 @ In the words of Scripture, Today, if you hear his voice, Do not continue to harden your hearts as at the Provocation.

mnt@Hebrews:3:16 @ For who were they that heard and yet provoked him? Was it not all who came out of Egypt under the leadership of Moses?

mnt@Hebrews:3:18 @ And to whom did he swear that they should never enter into his rest, if not to those who had proved faithless? So you see that it was through unbelief that they were not able to enter in.

mnt@Hebrews:4:3 @ We are actually entering into that rest, we who have believed, as God has said, -In my wrath I swore - "They shall not enter into my Rest," although his works were finished since the foundation of the world.

mnt@Hebrews:4:6 @ Since, then, it remains that some should enter into it, and since those who formerly had the Good News preached to them did not enter in because of unbelief,

mnt@Hebrews:4:9 @ So there remains a Sabbath Rest for the people of God.

mnt@Hebrews:4:11 @ Let us, then, be earnest to enter into that rest, so that no one may fall into the same example of disobedience.

mnt@Hebrews:4:13 @ And there is not a creature hidden form him, but all things are naked and laid prostrate before the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

mnt@Hebrews:4:14 @ Inasmuch, then, as we have a great High Priest, Jesus, the Son of God, who has passed through the heavens, let us hold fast our confession of faith.

mnt@Hebrews:4:15 @ For we have not a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who has been tempted in all points like as we are, yet without sin.

mnt@Hebrews:4:16 @ Let us, then, draw near with glad boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and find grace to help us in our times of need.

mnt@Hebrews:5:1 @ For every high priest chosen from time to time from among men is appointed on behalf of men, in matters relating to God, to offer both gifts and sacrifices on behalf of sins.

mnt@Hebrews:5:5 @ So even the Christ was not raised to the high glory of the priesthood by himself, but on the contrary by Him who said to him. Thou art my Son; this day have I become thy Father;

mnt@Hebrews:5:7 @ In the days of his flesh, with better cries and weeping Jesus offered up prayers and supplications to Him who was able to save him out of death; and he was heard because of his devout submission.

mnt@Hebrews:5:9 @ and by being thus made perfect, he became the source of enduring salvation to all who obey him,

mnt@Hebrews:5:11 @ Concerning him I have much to say, and much that is hard to make clear to you, because you have grown dull of hearing.

mnt@Hebrews:5:12 @ And this too, although you ought by this time to be teaching others, you are still needing some one to teach you the very rudiments of divine revelation. You need milk, not solid food.

mnt@Hebrews:5:14 @ But solid food is for adults, that is, for those who by constant practise have their faculties trained to discriminate between good and evil.

mnt@Hebrews:6:1 @ So let us get beyond the teaching of the elementary doctrines of Christ, and let us be borne along toward what is mature. Let us not be continually laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works,

mnt@Hebrews:6:6 @ and then fallen away, it is impossible to renew them again unto repentance. For they repeatedly crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and expose him to an open shame.

mnt@Hebrews:6:7 @ For land that has drunk the showers that now and again fall upon it, and produced vegetation useful for those for whom it was tilled, receives a blessing from God;

mnt@Hebrews:6:9 @ But though we thus speak, we are persuaded better things of you, beloved, and things that accompany salvation.

mnt@Hebrews:6:11 @ but I am longing that each of you continue to show the same diligence to realize the fulness of your hope, even to the end.

mnt@Hebrews:6:12 @ Then do not become slack, but be imitators of those who through faith and patience are inheriting the promises.

mnt@Hebrews:6:13 @ For when God make the promise to Abraham, since he could swear by none greater, he swore by himself, saying.

mnt@Hebrews:6:15 @ And so by patiently waiting, Abraham obtained the promise.

mnt@Hebrews:6:16 @ I am referring to the oath because men swear by what is greater than themselves, and in every dispute of theirs the oath is final for confirmation.

mnt@Hebrews:6:17 @ On which principle God, wishing to show more convincingly to the heirs of the promise the immutability of his purpose, mediated with an oath;

mnt@Hebrews:6:18 @ that by means of two immutable things - his promise and his oath - in which it is impossible for God to break faith, we refugees may have strong encouragement to grasp the hope set before us.

mnt@Hebrews:7:2 @ and it was to him that Abraham apportioned a tithe of all the spoil. He was first, as his name signifies, King of righteousness, and then King of Salem, that is, King of Peace;

mnt@Hebrews:7:3 @ without father or mother, without lineage, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but resembling the Son of God, he remains a priest in perpetuity.

mnt@Hebrews:7:4 @ But observe how great this man was, to whom even Abraham, the Patriarch, gave a tenth part of the spoils.

mnt@Hebrews:7:5 @ Now those of the sons of Levi who are appointed to the priesthood, are authorized by the Law to take tithes of the people, that is, of their brothers, and that too, although these are descended from Abraham.

mnt@Hebrews:7:7 @ Now it is beyond all controversy that the inferior is always blessed by the superior.

mnt@Hebrews:7:8 @ Again it is mortal men who receive tithes in the one case; while in the other it is he of whom it is attested, "He lives."

mnt@Hebrews:7:10 @ for Levi was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedek met Abraham.

mnt@Hebrews:7:11 @ Now if there were perfection through the Levitical priesthood, (and it was under it that the people received the Law) why was it still necessary for another kind of priest to arise, after the order of Melchisedek, instead of being reckoned according to the order of Aaron?

mnt@Hebrews:7:13 @ He who is thus described belonged to another tribe, not one member of which has ever served at the altar.

mnt@Hebrews:7:14 @ For it is evident that our Lord was descended from Judah, a tribe of which Moses said nothing concerning the priesthood.

mnt@Hebrews:7:20 @ mightier because it was not promised apart from an oath.

mnt@Hebrews:7:21 @ For although those priests became such without an oath, He had an oath form God who said to him, The Lord hath sworn and will not change, Thou art a priest forever.

mnt@Hebrews:7:23 @ And they indeed have been made priests, many in number, because they have been prevented by death from continuing;

mnt@Hebrews:7:25 @ Hence also he is able to continue saving to the uttermost those who are ever drawing near to God through him, seeing that he is ever living to intercede for them.

mnt@Hebrews:7:26 @ For we needed just such a high priest, holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners, and exalted above the heavens;

mnt@Hebrews:7:28 @ For the Law appoints human beings to be high priests, men with all their weakness; but the word of the oath, which was later than the Law, appoints a Son, perfected forevermore.

mnt@Hebrews:8:1 @ The pith of all that we have been saying is this; we do have such a High Priest; and he has taken his seat on the right hand of the throne of Majesty in the heavens,

mnt@Hebrews:8:3 @ For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices; whence it follows that this High Priest also must have some offering to make.

mnt@Hebrews:8:5 @ those priests who serve a mere outline and shadow of the heavenly reality, just as Moses was divinely instructed when he was about to build the Tabernacle. "See", he says, "that you make everything on the pattern showed you on the mountain."

mnt@Hebrews:8:6 @ But Jesus has obtained a better ministry, by so much as he is also Mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted upon better promises.

mnt@Hebrews:8:9 @ Not according tot he covenant which I made with their forefathers, On the day when I took them by the hand to lead them forth out of the land of Egypt; For they did not continue in my covenant, And therefore I disregarded them," says the Lord.

mnt@Hebrews:8:11 @ And they shall not teach every man his fellow citizen, And every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord; For all shall know me, From the least to the greatest of them.

mnt@Hebrews:8:13 @ By calling the covenant "new," He has made the first one obsolete; and whatever is becoming obsolete and aged, is near to vanishing.

mnt@Hebrews:9:1 @ Now even the first covenant had its ordinances of public worship, and its sanctuary, a material one.

mnt@Hebrews:9:4 @ In it was the golden altar of incense, and also the Ark of the Covenant covered all over with gold, in which was a golden pot holding the manna, and Aarons rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant;

mnt@Hebrews:9:5 @ while above it, overshadowing the mercy-seat, were the cherubim of glory. But I must not speak about these in detail.

mnt@Hebrews:9:7 @ but into the inner tent the high priest only goes alone, once a year, and that not without blood, which he offers for himself and for the ignorances of the people.

mnt@Hebrews:9:8 @ The Holy Spirit teaching by this that the way into the Holiest has not yet been disclosed while the first tent is still standing.

mnt@Hebrews:9:9 @ This is a parable, for the present time, according to which gifts and sacrifices are offered that are not able, as far as conscience is concerned, to perfect the worshiper;

mnt@Hebrews:9:10 @ since they consist only in meats and drinks and various ablutions, carnal ordinances, imposed until the time of reformation.

mnt@Hebrews:9:11 @ But when Christ came, a High Priest of good things to come, he passed through the greater and more perfect tent not made with hands, that is to say, not of this material creation,

mnt@Hebrews:9:12 @ not taking the blood of goats and oxen, but his own blood, and entered once for all into the Holy Place, obtaining for us an eternal redemption.

mnt@Hebrews:9:13 @ For if the blood of bulls and goats and the ashes of a heifer sprinkled on those who have been defiled, sanctify to the cleansing of the flesh,

mnt@Hebrews:9:15 @ And because of this he is the Mediator of a new testament, in order that, since a death has taken place to atone for offenses committed under the first testament, those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.

mnt@Hebrews:9:16 @ For where there is a testament, there must also be brought forward in evidence the death of the testator.

mnt@Hebrews:9:17 @ For a testament is only of force in case of the dead, being never valid so long as the testator lives.

mnt@Hebrews:9:18 @ Accordingly we find that not without blood was the first testament enacted.

mnt@Hebrews:9:19 @ For after every commandment according to the law had been spoken by Moses to the people, he took the blood of calves and goats, and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people.

mnt@Hebrews:9:20 @ saying, This is the blood of that testament which God commanded in regard to you.

mnt@Hebrews:9:23 @ While, then, it was necessary that the copies of the heavenly things should be cleansed by such sacrifices, the heavenly things themselves required nobler sacrifices than these.

mnt@Hebrews:9:24 @ For it was not into a Sanctuary made by hands, a mere type of the reality, that Christ entered, but he entered into heaven itself, now to appear in the very presence of God on our behalf.

mnt@Hebrews:9:25 @ Nor did he enter to offer himself repeatedly, as the high priest entered into the sanctuary, year after year, with blood that was not his own; (for in that case he would have needed to suffer repeatedly, ever since the foundation of the world;)but now, once for all, at the end of the ages, he has appeared to abolish sin, but the offering of himself.

mnt@Hebrews:9:27 @ And since it is appointed to men once to die, and after that the judgment;

mnt@Hebrews:9:28 @ so also the Christ, after being once for all offered to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, without sin, to those who wait for him for salvation.

mnt@Hebrews:10:4 @ For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sin.

mnt@Hebrews:10:5 @ It is for this reason that the Christ, on coming into the world, declared. Sacrifice and offerings thou dost not desire, But a body didst thou prepare for me;

mnt@Hebrews:10:9 @ (offerings regularly made under the law), and then it is added, Lo, I come to do thy will, he does away with the first, in order that he may establish the second.

mnt@Hebrews:10:10 @ And it is by this will that we have been sanctified by the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

mnt@Hebrews:10:11 @ For while every priest stands, day after day, at his ministrations, and many times repeats the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins,

mnt@Hebrews:10:12 @ this Priest, after offering one Sacrifice for sins, sat down forever on Gods right hand;

mnt@Hebrews:10:20 @ by the way which he dedicated for us, that new and living way, through the veil (that is, his flesh);

mnt@Hebrews:10:28 @ Any one who set at naught the law of Moses was put to death without pity, on the testimony of two or three witnesses.

mnt@Hebrews:10:29 @ How much surer, think you, will be the punishment of one who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and has profaned that covenant blood with which he was sanctified, and has done despite to the spirit of grace?

mnt@Hebrews:10:32 @ But ever call to mind the former days, in which, after having been enlightened, you endured a great conflict of sufferings;

mnt@Hebrews:10:33 @ partly by being made a public spectacle in reproaches and afflictions, and partly by sharing the fortunes of those that were so used.

mnt@Hebrews:10:34 @ For you did sympathize with the prisoners, and you did take joyfully the confiscation of your goods; conscious that you had for yourselves greater, even lasting possessions.

mnt@Hebrews:10:35 @ Now do not fling away your bold confidence, for it has a great recompense of reward.

mnt@Hebrews:10:36 @ For you need stedfastness, so that after having done the will of God, you may receive the promise,

mnt@Hebrews:10:38 @ But it is by faith that my Righteous One will live, And if he draws back, my soul takes no pleasure in him.

mnt@Hebrews:11:3 @ By faith we understand that the world was fashioned by the Word of God, so that what we see was not made out of what is visible.

mnt@Hebrews:11:4 @ By faith Abel offered to God a sacrifice more acceptable than that of Cain, through which he had witness borne to him that he was righteous, God giving the testimony by accepting his gifts; and through it he, although he is dead, still speaks.

mnt@Hebrews:11:5 @ By faith Enoch was translated so that he should not see death; and he was not found, because God had translated him. Before his translation he had witness borne to him that he pleased God.

mnt@Hebrews:11:6 @ now without faith it is impossible to please him; for he who comes to God must believe that he is, and that he ever rewards those who are seeking.

mnt@Hebrews:11:9 @ It was by faith that he sojourned in the promised land as an alien, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, his fellow heirs of the same promise.

mnt@Hebrews:11:10 @ For he continually looked for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

mnt@Hebrews:11:12 @ and thus there sprang from one man, and him practically dead, a nation like the stars in the heavens in multitude, or grains of sand upon the seashore, innumerable.

mnt@Hebrews:11:13 @ These all died in faith, not having yet received the promises; nay, but they saw them from afar, and hailed them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

mnt@Hebrews:11:14 @ For those who say such things make it plain that they are seeking a Fatherland.

mnt@Hebrews:11:15 @ And if they had cherished the memory of that land from which they went out, they would have found an opportunity to return;

mnt@Hebrews:11:16 @ but now they are longing for a better homeland, that is, a heavenly. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God; and he has prepared a city for them.

mnt@Hebrews:11:18 @ of whom it had been said, It is through Isaac that your posterity will be traced.

mnt@Hebrews:11:19 @ For he accounted God able even to raise from the dead, from whence, figuratively speaking, he did indeed receive him back again.

mnt@Hebrews:11:25 @ choosing rather to share ill-treatment with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season.

mnt@Hebrews:11:26 @ He accounted the obloquy of Christ to be greater than the treasures of Egypt; for he fixed his eyes on the reward.

mnt@Hebrews:11:27 @ By faith he left Egypt, not because he feared the wrath of the king, but he endured as seeing Him who is invisible.

mnt@Hebrews:11:28 @ By faith he established the Passover, and the sprinkling with blood, in order that the Destroying Angel might not touch the firstborn.

mnt@Hebrews:11:32 @ And what more shall I say? for time would fail me to tell of Gideon, of Barak, of Samson, and of Jeptha; of David and Samuel and the prophets,

mnt@Hebrews:11:35 @ Woman received their dear ones alive from the dead; and others were broken on the wheel, not accepting the offered deliverance, in order that they might obtain a better resurrection.

mnt@James:1:2 @ My brothers, when you are beset by various temptations, count it all joy,

mnt@James:1:3 @ because you know that the testing of your faith is working out endurance.

mnt@James:1:4 @ But let endurance have its perfect work, so that you may be perfect and entire, not lacking in anything.

mnt@James:1:7 @ Such a man need not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord,

mnt@James:1:8 @ double-minded as he is, unstable at every turn.

mnt@James:1:9 @ Let a brother in humble circumstances glory in his exaltation;

mnt@James:1:10 @ but a rich brother, in his humiliation; because like the flower of the grass the rich man will pass away.

mnt@James:1:11 @ For as the sun comes up with a burning heat, it withers the grass, and its flowers fall, and the grace of the fashion of it perishes; so also shall the rich man fade away amid his pursuits.

mnt@James:1:12 @ Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love him.

mnt@James:1:14 @ But each man is tempted by his own lusts that allure and entice him.

mnt@James:1:15 @ Then lust conceives and gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is mature, brings forth death.

mnt@James:1:17 @ Every good gift and every perfect boon is from above, and is ever coming down to us from the Father of the heavenly lights, with whom is no variation nor shadow of eclipse.

mnt@James:1:18 @ Because he willed, he gave us birth through the word of truth, so that we should be a kind of first-fruits among his creatures.

mnt@James:1:23 @ Because if any one is a hearer of the Word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror;

mnt@James:1:24 @ for after he has looked carefully at himself, he goes away, and at once forgets what he is like.

mnt@James:1:27 @ and undefiled before our God and Father, to look after orphans and widows in their affliction, and ever to keep himself unspotted from the world.

mnt@James:2:3 @ and you look up to him who wears the fine clothing, and say to him, "Sit here in this fine place!" and to the poor man you say, "Stand there!" or "Sit on the floor at my feet!"

mnt@James:2:7 @ Are they not blaspheming that glorious Name by which you are called?

mnt@James:2:14 @ My brothers, what good is it if any one says that he has faith, if he has no deeds? Can such faith save him?

mnt@James:2:16 @ and one of you says to them, "Depart in peace, find warmth and food for yourselves," but at the same time you do not give the necessaries of the body, what good would that do them?

mnt@James:2:19 @ You believe that God is one? You do well; even the demons believe, and they shudder.

mnt@James:2:20 @ But do you want to be convinced, O foolish man, that faith apart from deeds is barren?

mnt@James:2:21 @ Was not Abraham our ancestor justified by deeds, in that he offered up Isaac, his son, upon the altar?

mnt@James:2:22 @ You see how faith was cooperating with deeds, and faith was made perfect by deeds.

mnt@James:2:24 @ You see, then, that it is by his deeds a man is justified, and not simply by his faith.

mnt@James:2:25 @ In like manner was not Rahab, the harlot, justified by her deeds, in the fact that she received the messengers and sent them forth by another way?

mnt@James:3:1 @ Do not become many teachers, my brothers, because you know well that we teachers shall be judged by a severer standard than others.

mnt@James:3:4 @ Look at the ships too, though they are so large, even when driven by fierce winds they are turned by a very small rudder, wherever the impulse of the helmsman wills.

mnt@James:3:5 @ So also the tongue is a small member and makes great boasts. Behold, how great a forest is set on fire by a little spark!

mnt@James:3:6 @ And the tongue is a fire; it is a very world of iniquity among our members, defiling the whole body, and setting on fire the wheel of nature, and is itself set on fire by hell.

mnt@James:3:7 @ For while every kind of beast and bird, and of reptiles and sea- creatures are tamable, and actually have been tamed by mankind,

mnt@James:3:8 @ no man can tame the tongue, restless evil that it is, full of deadly poison.

mnt@James:3:9 @ With it we continually bless our Lord and Father, and with it we are accustomed to curse men made in the image of God.

mnt@James:3:11 @ Does a spring pour forth from the same opening sweet water and bitter?

mnt@James:3:12 @ Can a fig tree, my brothers, bear olives; or a grape-vine, figs? No more can salt water yield fresh water.

mnt@James:3:14 @ But if you have bitter jealousy and faction in your heart, do not be boasting of that, and be false to the truth.

mnt@James:3:15 @ Such wisdom is not that which is descending from on high, but is earthly, sensual, demonlike.

mnt@James:3:17 @ But the wisdom which comes from on high is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, conciliatory, overflowing with mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without insincerity.

mnt@James:4:1 @ Where do the conflicts and quarrels that go on among you come from? Do they not come from your passions which are always making war among your bodily members?

mnt@James:4:2 @ You continually crave and do not obtain; you are killing and coveting and cannot acquire; you are fighting and at war. You do not have, because you do not ask.

mnt@James:4:4 @ You adulteresses, do you not know that the friendship of the world is enmity to God? Whoever, then, desires to be a friend of the world, makes himself and enemy of God.

mnt@James:4:5 @ Or do you suppose that it is in vain that the Scripture says, "The spirit which has its home in us yearns over us unto jealousy?"

mnt@James:4:14 @ when all the time you do not know what will happen on the morrow. For what is your life? You are but a mist, appearing for a brief time, and then vanishing.

mnt@James:4:15 @ You ought instead to say, "If the Lord wills it, we shall live and do this or that."

mnt@James:5:2 @ For your riches lie rotting, and your clothing has become moth-eaten.

mnt@James:5:3 @ Your gold and silver are rusted. and their rust will be for a testimony against you, and it will eat your flesh. For you have been storing up fire in these last days!

mnt@James:5:5 @ You have lived luxuriously on earth, you have taken your pleasure, you have fattened your hearts for a day of slaughter.

mnt@James:5:7 @ Be patient, then, brothers, till the coming of the Lord. Behold the farmer who waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient over it, until it gets the early and the latter rains.

mnt@James:5:8 @ So you also must be patient. Stablish your hearts; for the coming of the Lord is at hand!

mnt@James:5:10 @ Take, my brothers, for an example the suffering and the patience of the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.

mnt@James:5:11 @ Remember we count those that were stedfast happy. You have heard of the stedfastness of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord with him, seen how the Lord is full of tenderness.

mnt@James:5:12 @ Again, above all things, my brothers, swear not at all, neither by the heavens, nor by the earth, nor by any other oath. Let your "yes" be "yes," and your "no," "no," so you will not fall under condemnation.

mnt@James:5:16 @ So confess your sins one to another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. For the fervent prayer of a righteous man is mighty in its working.

mnt@James:5:20 @ let him know that he who brings a sinner back from the error of his ways, saves his soul from death, and hides a multitude of sins.

mnt@1Peter:1:3 @ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whose great mercy we have been born anew into a living hope, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead;

mnt@1Peter:1:5 @ who, through faith, are continuously guarded by the power of God for a salvation, ready to be revealed in the last days.

mnt@1Peter:1:7 @ These are in order that the test of your faith, more precious than gold that is perishable and yet is tested by fire, may redound to praise and glory and honor, at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

mnt@1Peter:1:9 @ as you continually receive the reward of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.

mnt@1Peter:1:10 @ Concerning this salvation the Prophets who prophesied regarding the grace intended for you, diligently sought and searched.

mnt@1Peter:1:11 @ They were searching to know to what time, or to what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them kept pointing, when he ever testified beforehand concerning the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow.

mnt@1Peter:1:12 @ It was revealed to them that it was not for themselves, but for you, that they were ministering the truths which have now been announced to you, by those who preached the gospel to you, through the help of the Holy Spirit sent forth from heaven - truths into which angels long to look.

mnt@1Peter:1:13 @ So then brace up your minds, be steady in spirit, and fix your hope firmly in the grace that is coming to you, at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

mnt@1Peter:1:17 @ And since you call upon him as Father, who impartially judges each one according to his deeds, pass the time of your sojourning here in reverence.

mnt@1Peter:1:18 @ For you well know that not with perishable things, with silver or gold, were you redeemed from the emptiness of your manner of life, received by tradition from your ancestors;

mnt@1Peter:1:19 @ but with precious blood, like that of a lamb without spot or blemish, even the blood of Christ.

mnt@1Peter:1:20 @ He was indeed foreknown before the foundation of the world, but was manifested at the end of the times for your sake.

mnt@1Peter:1:21 @ Through him you believe in God who raised him from the dead and gave him glory; so that your faith and hope are now in God.

mnt@1Peter:1:22 @ Now that by obedience to the truth you have purified your lives for a brotherly love without hypocrisy, you must love one another from your hearts, fervently.

mnt@1Peter:2:2 @ Like new-born babes long for the pure spiritual milk to make you grow up into salvation;

mnt@1Peter:2:3 @ since you have tasted that the Lord is gracious.

mnt@1Peter:2:4 @ Come to him then, that living Stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God, and precious.

mnt@1Peter:2:7 @ For you, then, that believe, is the preciousness; but for those who do not believe, A stone which the builders rejected, The same has become the head stone of the corner,

mnt@1Peter:2:9 @ But you are an elect race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a purchased people, that you may show forth the virtues of Him who has called you out of darkness into his marvelous light -

mnt@1Peter:2:11 @ I beseech you, beloved, as pilgrims and exiles, to abstain from passions of the flesh that war upon your souls.

mnt@1Peter:2:12 @ Let your manner of life before the Gentiles be honest; so that, although they are now slandering you as evil-doers, they may, by beholding your noble conduct, come to glorify God, in the day of visitation.

mnt@1Peter:2:15 @ For it is the will of God that by well-doing you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish men.

mnt@1Peter:2:20 @ For what credit is it if, when you are struck for a fault, you take it patiently? But if when you are doing well and suffer for it, you always take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.

mnt@1Peter:2:21 @ For this is your calling; because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you should follow in his footsteps;

mnt@1Peter:2:23 @ He was reviled, and reviled not back. When he suffered he never threatened but always committed his cause to the One who judges rightly.

mnt@1Peter:2:24 @ He bore our sins in his own body upon the tree, in order that we might become dead to sins, and be alive unto righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed.

mnt@1Peter:3:1 @ In the same way you wives must be submissive to your own husbands; so that if some of them will not believe the message, they may apart from the message be won over by the behavior of their wives,

mnt@1Peter:3:4 @ but rather that hidden personality of the heart, the imperishable ornament of a quiet and gentle spirit, which in the sight of God is indeed precious.

mnt@1Peter:3:6 @ thus, for example, Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord. And you are daughters of Sarah, if you do what is right, and permit nothing to make you afraid.

mnt@1Peter:3:7 @ In the same way you husbands live with your wives, according to knowledge, honoring your wife as of the weaker sex, yet as an heir with yourself of the grace of life; so that your prayers may not be hindered.

mnt@1Peter:3:8 @ Finally, you should all be harmonious, sympathetic, loving as brothers, tender-hearted, humble-minded;

mnt@1Peter:3:15 @ But consecrate Christ in your hearts, as Lord. Be always in readiness to make and answer to any one who asks you a reason for the hope that is within you, yet with gentleness and reverence.

mnt@1Peter:3:16 @ See that you have a clear conscience, so that, although they speak of you as evil-doers, these libelers of your good Christian lives may be ashamed.

mnt@1Peter:3:17 @ For it is better that you suffer for doing right, if such be Gods will, than for doing wrong;

mnt@1Peter:3:18 @ because Christ also once for all suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God. He was put to death in the flesh, but make alive in spirit.

mnt@1Peter:3:19 @ (It was in spirit that he went and preached the Word to the spirits who were in prison,

mnt@1Peter:3:20 @ who in old times had been disobedient, when Gods longsuffering was waiting in the days of Noah, while an ark was building, in which a few persons - eight in number - were saved by water.)

mnt@1Peter:3:21 @ Baptism, the counterpart of that, now saves you (not the washing off of the filth of the flesh, but the prayer for a good conscience toward God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

mnt@1Peter:4:2 @ so that in future you may not spend your life in the flesh according to mens desires, but in the will of God.

mnt@1Peter:4:4 @ They are astonished at this, that you do not run into the same excesses of profligacy as they do; and they speak evil of you.

mnt@1Peter:4:6 @ The gospel was preached for this cause to those who were dead also, that they might be judged according to men in flesh, but live according to God in spirit.

mnt@1Peter:4:7 @ But the end of all things is close at hand; so be sober, watch and pray.

mnt@1Peter:4:10 @ Whatever the gifts which each has received, use them for one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.

mnt@1Peter:4:11 @ If any one preaches, let him always preach as one who utters Gods truth; if any one serves another, let it be with the strength which God supplies; so that in every way God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory and dominion for ever and ever, Amen.

mnt@1Peter:4:12 @ Do not think it strange, beloved, that a fiery ordeal has come to test you, as though some surprising thing had befallen you.

mnt@1Peter:4:13 @ But be glad in the degree in which you share in the sufferings of Christ; so that when his glory shall be revealed, you too may be glad with triumphant gladness.

mnt@1Peter:4:17 @ It is time for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it first begin with us, what shall be the end of those who are disobedient to the gospel?

mnt@1Peter:4:19 @ So let those who are suffering according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well-doing, as unto a faithful Creator.

mnt@1Peter:5:4 @ Then, when the Chief Shepherd shall appear, you too will receive the fadeless wreath of glory.

mnt@1Peter:5:6 @ So humble yourselves under Gods mighty hand, so that he may exalt you in due time.

mnt@1Peter:5:8 @ Be temperate, be vigilant; because your enemy, the devil, is prowling about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.

mnt@1Peter:5:9 @ Resist him, standing firm in the faith, knowing well that the same afflictions are being accomplished in your brothers that are in the world.

mnt@1Peter:5:12 @ By Sylvanus, a faithful brother of yours, as I suppose, I have written you briefly, to comfort you, and to testify that this is the true grace of God. In this stand fast.

mnt@1Peter:5:13 @ Your sister church in Babylon, elect with you, sends you salutations, and so does Marcus, my son.

mnt@2Peter:1:2 @ Grace and peace be multiplied to you by the God and Father of Jesus our Lord.

mnt@2Peter:1:4 @ By these he has granted his promises to us, precious and splendid; so that through them you may become partners of the divine nature, now that you have escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

mnt@2Peter:1:14 @ since I know that the time for me to strike tent comes swiftly on, even as our Lord Jesus Christ pointed out to me.

mnt@2Peter:1:17 @ For he did receive honor and glory from God the Father, when there was borne such a voice to him from the Majestic Glory, This is my Son, my Beloved, in whom I delight;

mnt@2Peter:1:20 @ But first be assured of this - that no prophecy of Scripture is of private interpretation.

mnt@2Peter:2:8 @ (for that righteous man, living among them, tormented his righteous soul in seeing and hearing, day after day, their lawless deeds),

mnt@2Peter:2:9 @ then be sure that the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptation, and to keep the wicked (who are even now enduring punishment) for the "Day of Judgment";

mnt@2Peter:2:12 @ But these men, like irrational creatures, mere animals, born to be taken and destroyed, continually rail about matters of which they know nothing. In their corruption they will surely be destroyed,

mnt@2Peter:2:14 @ They have eyes full of harlots, eyes that cannot stop sinning. They entice unsteady souls. Their heart is trained in greed. They are an accursed generation.

mnt@2Peter:2:17 @ Such men are like waterless springs, or mists storm-driven; for them the blackness of darkness has been reserved.

mnt@2Peter:2:18 @ For speaking great swelling words of vanity, they entangle, by their lasciviousness, in the lusts of the flesh, those who are just about to escape from the men that live in misconduct.

mnt@2Peter:2:20 @ For if, after having escaped the pollutions of the world, through the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, men are again entangled in them and overpowered, their last state is become worse than their first.

mnt@2Peter:3:2 @ I want you to recollect the words that were foretold by the holy prophets, and the command of your Lord and Saviour, given you through your apostles.

mnt@2Peter:3:3 @ Know this first, that mockers will come in the last days, in their mockery, men who walk the way of their own lusts

mnt@2Peter:3:4 @ and say, "Where is the promise of His coming? For since the day that our fathers fell asleep everything continues as it was from the beginning of the creation."

mnt@2Peter:3:5 @ For they willingly ignore the fact that there were heaven, from of old, and an earth formed out of water and through water, by the word of God;

mnt@2Peter:3:6 @ and that by the same means the world which then existed was destroyed by a deluge of water.

mnt@2Peter:3:7 @ But the heavens and earth that now are, by the same word of God, have been reserved for fire, and are being kept for the Day of Judgment, and for the destruction of ungodly men.

mnt@2Peter:3:8 @ Do not forget this one thing, beloved, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

mnt@2Peter:3:9 @ The Lord does not loiter over his promise, as some men esteem loitering; but he is longsuffering toward you, not purposing that any should perish, but that all should pass on to repentance.

mnt@2Peter:3:10 @ But the Day of the Lord will come like a thief; and on that Day the heavens will vanish with a crash, the heavenly bodies will melt with fervent heat, and the earth and all its works will be burned up.

mnt@2Peter:3:11 @ Now since all things are in the process of dissolution, what kind of men ought you to be, in all holy living and piety;

mnt@2Peter:3:12 @ while you look for and hasten the coming of the Day of God. At its coming the heavens, being on fire, will be dissolved, and the heavenly bodies will melt with fervent heat.

mnt@2Peter:3:14 @ And so, beloved, since you are looking for these things, continually give diligence that you may be found in peace, unspotted and blameless in his sight.

mnt@2Peter:3:15 @ Regard our Lords longsuffering as salvation; even as our dear brother Paul also wrote to you, according to the wisdom given to him.

mnt@1John:1:1 @ It is of what has existed from the beginning, of what we have listened to, of what we have seen with our own eyes, of what we have witnessed and touched with our own heads, it is concerning the Logos of Life that we are now writing.

mnt@1John:1:2 @ And the Life was made visible, and we have seen it and are bearing witness, and are bringing you word of that Eternal Life which was face to face with the Father and was made visible to us.

mnt@1John:1:3 @ It is what we have seen and heard that we are announcing to you, in order that you also may have partnership with us; and our partnership is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ.

mnt@1John:1:4 @ And we are writing all this to you that our joy may be complete.

mnt@1John:1:5 @ This, then, is the message that we have heard from him, and are announcing to you, that God is light, and no darkness what ever is in him.

mnt@1John:2:1 @ My children, I am writing this to you that you may not continue to sin; but if any one sin, we ever have a Comforter before the Father, Jesus Christ the Righteous.

mnt@1John:2:2 @ And he is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world.

mnt@1John:2:3 @ This is how we may know that we have come to know Him, by always keeping his commandments.

mnt@1John:2:5 @ and the truth is not in him; bit if any man obey his word, in him truly is the love of God made perfect. By this we come to know that we are in him.

mnt@1John:2:7 @ Beloved, I am not writing a new commandment to you, nay, and old commandment, which you have had from the beginning. That old commandment is the message to which you have listened.

mnt@1John:2:9 @ He who says he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in darkness even until now.

mnt@1John:2:11 @ But he who hates his brother is in the darkness, and is spending his life in the darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

mnt@1John:2:13 @ I am writing to you, fathers, because you have come to know him who is from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have fully overcome the Evil One. I have written to you, little children, because you have learned to know the father.

mnt@1John:2:14 @ I have written to you, fathers, because you have learned to know him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God is abiding in you, and you have fully overcome the Evil One.

mnt@1John:2:15 @ Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

mnt@1John:2:16 @ For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the proud glory of life, is not from the Father, but from the world;

mnt@1John:2:18 @ My children, this is the last hour, and as you have heard that an antichrist was coming, and now many antichrists are already risen, whence we may know that it is the last hour.

mnt@1John:2:19 @ They came forth from us, but they did not belong to us. If they had belonged to us they would certainly have remained with us, but they went out that they might be manifest that they all are not of us.

mnt@1John:2:21 @ I am not writing to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it, and know that no lie is of the truth.

mnt@1John:2:22 @ Who is the liar if not the man who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the Antichrist, even he who disowns the Father and the Son.

mnt@1John:2:23 @ Whoever denies the Son, the same has not the Father; but he who confesses the Son has the Father also. As for you, let what you have heard from the beginning abide in you.

mnt@1John:2:24 @ If what you have heard from the beginning is abiding in you, you also will ever abide in the Son and in the Father.

mnt@1John:2:28 @ And now continue to abide in him, my children, so that when he shall appear we may have cheerful confidence and not be ashamed before him at his coming.

mnt@1John:2:29 @ If you know that he is righteous you know also that every one who habitually practises righteousness has been born of him.

mnt@1John:3:1 @ Behold what manner of love the Father has given us in allowing us to be called "Children of God!" And that is what we are. For this reason the world does not recognize us, because it did not know him.

mnt@1John:3:2 @ We are Gods children now, beloved; what we shall be has never yet been made manifest. But we know that when he is manifested we shall be like him; for we shall see him even as he is.

mnt@1John:3:5 @ And you know that he was manifested to take away sins; and in him is no sin.

mnt@1John:3:8 @ He who is committing sin is of the devil, because from the beginning of the devil is sinning. It was for this cause that the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

mnt@1John:3:11 @ For this is the message that you have listened to from the beginning, "WE ARE TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER."

mnt@1John:3:13 @ Do not wonder, brothers, if the world continues to hate you.

mnt@1John:3:14 @ We know that we have migrated, out of death into life, because we love our brothers. He who has no love is abiding in death.

mnt@1John:3:15 @ Every one who is hating his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.

mnt@1John:3:19 @ By this we shall come to know that we are really of the truth,

mnt@1John:3:20 @ and shall persuade our heart in his presence whenever our heart condemns us, because God is greater than our heart and knows all things.

mnt@1John:3:22 @ and whatever we ask we are receiving from him, because we are keeping his commandments and doing those things that are pleasing in his sight.

mnt@1John:3:23 @ His commandment is this, that we should believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another as he has commanded us to do.

mnt@1John:3:24 @ He who keeps his commandments is abiding in Him, and Christ in him. By this we know that Christ is abiding in us, by the Spirit which he has given us.

mnt@1John:4:2 @ By this you know the Spirit of God; every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is from God;

mnt@1John:4:3 @ and every spirit which confesses him not, is not from God. And this is that spirit of Antichrist of which you have heard that it is coming, and that now it is already in the world.

mnt@1John:4:4 @ My little children, you are of God and have conquered them; because he that is within you is greater than he that is in the world.

mnt@1John:4:7 @ Beloved, let us love one another; for love is of God; and every one that loves us a child of God.

mnt@1John:4:9 @ In this was the love of God clearly shown toward us, by his sending his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him.

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

mnt@1John:4:13 @ By this we come to know that we are abiding in him, and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit;

mnt@1John:4:14 @ and we have beheld and do testify that the Father has sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.

mnt@1John:4:15 @ If any man confesses that "Jesus is the Son of God." God is abiding in that man, and he in God.

mnt@1John:4:17 @ In this is love made perfect with us, so that we may have cheerful confidence in the Day of Judgment, because we are living in this world as He lives.

mnt@1John:4:20 @ If any one says, "I love God," and yet hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot possibly love God, whom he has not seen.

mnt@1John:5:1 @ Every one who believes that Jesus is the Christ is a child of God; and every one who loves the Father, loves him also who is the Fathers Child.

mnt@1John:5:2 @ By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and obey his commandments.

mnt@1John:5:4 @ For whoever is a child of God is overcoming the world; and our faith is the victory that has overcome the world.

mnt@1John:5:5 @ And who it the one that is overcoming the world if not the man who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

mnt@1John:5:6 @ Jesus Christ is he who came by water and blood, not by the water only, but by the water and by the blood. The spirit is he who bears testimony, because the Spirit is the truth.

mnt@1John:5:7 @ For there are three who bear testimony, the Spirit, and the water,

mnt@1John:5:9 @ If we accept mens testimony, the testimony of God is greater; for this is the testimony of God, that he has borne testimony concerning his Son.

mnt@1John:5:10 @ He who believes on the Son of God has the testimony in himself. He who does not believe God, has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has borne concerning his Son.

mnt@1John:5:13 @ I have written these words to you so that you may know that you have eternal life, you who believe in the name of the Son of God.

mnt@1John:5:14 @ Now the confidence which we have in him is this, that he listens to us whenever we ask anything that is in accordance with his will.

mnt@1John:5:15 @ And if we know that he is listening to us in what ever we are asking, we know that we obtain the petitions which we have made to him.

mnt@1John:5:16 @ If any one sees his brother committing a sin that is not deadly, he shall ask, and God will give him life, for any one who is not committing a deadly sin. There is a deadly sin; concerning that I do not say that he should pray.

mnt@1John:5:17 @ All unrighteousness is sin; and there is sin that is not deadly.

mnt@1John:5:18 @ We know that whoever is a child of God is not habitually committing sin; but he who is Gods child guards himself, and the Evil One never touches him.

mnt@1John:5:19 @ We know that we are of God, and the whole world is lying in the Evil One.

mnt@1John:5:20 @ And we know that the Son of God is come, and has granted us and understanding, so that we may come to know him who is true. And we are in him who is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and life eternal.

mnt@2John:1:3 @ Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us from God the Father, and from Jesus Christ the Fathers Son, in truth and love.

mnt@2John:1:4 @ I am greatly rejoiced to find some of your children leading their lives in truth, even as we received commandment from the Father.

mnt@2John:1:5 @ And now I am entreating you, Lady, not as though I were writing some new commandment to you, but one which we have had from the beginning, let us love one another.

mnt@2John:1:6 @ And this is love, that we should lead our lives according to his commandments. This is the commandment, even as you heard from the beginning, that you should pass your life in love.

mnt@2John:1:8 @ Watch yourselves, that you do not lose what we have wrought, but that you receive a full reward.

mnt@2John:1:9 @ Whoever is going ahead, and is not abiding in the teachings of Christ, does not possess God; but he who is abiding in the teaching possesses both the Father and the Son.

mnt@2John:1:12 @ I have many things to write to you, but I would not write them with paper and ink. I hope to come to you and to talk with you face to face, so that your joy may be full.

mnt@3John:1:2 @ I pray that you may prosper, beloved, in every way, and be in good health, even as your soul is prospering.

mnt@3John:1:4 @ I have no greater joy than this, to hear that my children are passing their lives in the truth.

mnt@3John:1:5 @ You are acting faithfully, beloved, in whatever you are doing for the brothers and the strangers.

mnt@3John:1:8 @ Hence we ought to support such, so that we may become fellow workers for the truth.

mnt@3John:1:9 @ I have written somewhat to the church; but Diotrephes, who love to take the lead among them, does not receive me.

mnt@3John:1:10 @ Do them when I come I will recall to mind the deeds which he is doing, prating against me with wicked words. Not satisfied with that, he refuses to receive the brothers, forbids those that would receive them, and excommunicates them from the church.

mnt@3John:1:11 @ Do not imitate what is evil, beloved, but that which is good. He who does good is of God; he who does evil has never gazed on God.

mnt@3John:1:12 @ All men bear testimony to Demetrius, and so does the truth itself. I also bear testimony to him; and you know that my testimony is true.

mnt@3John:1:13 @ I have a great deal to write to you, but I do not want to write you with pen and ink.

mnt@3John:1:14 @ I am hoping soon to see you, and then we shall talk face to face. Peace be to you! The friends send their salutation. Salute the friends by name.

mnt@Jude:1:1 @ Jude, a slave of Jesus Christ, and a brother of James. To those who are in God, the Father beloved, kept for Jesus Christ, and called.

mnt@Jude:1:3 @ Beloved, although I was making all haste to write to you in regard to our common salvation, I am compelled to write you an appeal to defend the faith once for all committed to the saints.

mnt@Jude:1:4 @ For certain men have crept in stealthily - men predestined in ancient prophecies for this condemnation - impious ones! They pervert the grace of our God into licentiousness, and deny Jesus Christ, our sole Master and Lord.

mnt@Jude:1:5 @ I wish to remind you of what you already know right well, that although the Lord once saved a people out of the land of Egypt, he afterward destroyed those who did not believe;

mnt@Jude:1:6 @ while the angels who did not keep their first domain but left their proper abode, are held by him in blank darkness, in everlasting chains, in preparation for the judgment of the Great Day.

mnt@Jude:1:7 @ So also Sodom and Gomorrah and the near-by cities which in like manner glutted themselves in sensuality and unnatural vice, are exhibited as a warning of the eternal fire, in the punishment they undergo.

mnt@Jude:1:8 @ Yet in just the same way these dreamers also defile the flesh, while they set at naught dominion and scoff at dignities.

mnt@Jude:1:10 @ Yet these men blaspheme about matters of which they know nothing, while they use such things as they do understand by instinct (like the animals who have no reason) for their own destruction.

mnt@Jude:1:11 @ Alas for them! They have walked in the path of Cain; for the sake of gain they have rushed headlong into Balaams error, and have perished in Korahs rebellion.

mnt@Jude:1:12 @ These are they who are stains upon your love-feasts; when they feast sumptuously without scruple, looking after none but themselves. They are clouds without water, driven along by the winds; trees of autumn, fruitless, doubly dead, torn up by the roots,

mnt@Jude:1:14 @ It was to these, too, that Enoch, the "seventh in descent from Adam," prophesied, saying, "Lo! the Lord is come with myriads of his saints,

mnt@Jude:1:15 @ to execute judgment upon all, and to convict all the ungodly of all the ungodly deeds which in their ungodliness they have committed; and of all the hard things which they have spoken against Him, ungodly sinners that they are!"

mnt@Jude:1:16 @ For these are murmurers, always complaining. They always go where their passions lead, and their mouth speaks great swelling words, while they pay court to men for the sake of the advantage they can get.

mnt@Jude:1:23 @ others pity, but with caution, hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.

mnt@Revelation:1:1 @ \ul1 THE UNVEILING APOCALYPSE OF JESUS CHRIST\ul0 which God gave him to show to his slaves the things which must soon come to pass; and he sent and made it known by his angel to his slave John.
