nkjv@Acts:21:35 @ When he reached the stairs, he had to be carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the mob.
nkjv@Acts:22:29 @ Then immediately those who were about to examine him withdrew from him; and the commander was also afraid after he found out that he was a Roman, and because he had bound him.
nkjv@Acts:22:30 @ The next day, because he wanted to know for certain why he was accused by the Jews, he released him from his bonds, and commanded the chief priests and all their council to appear, and brought Paul down and set him before them.
nkjv@Acts:24:11 @ because you may ascertain that it is no more than twelve days since I went up to Jerusalem to worship.
nkjv@Acts:25:20 @ And because I was uncertain of such questions, I asked whether he was willing to go to Jerusalem and there be judged concerning these matters.
nkjv@Acts:26:2 @ "I think myself happy, King Agrippa, because today I shall answer for myself before you concerning all the things of which I am accused by the Jews,
nkjv@Acts:26:3 @ especially because you are expert in all customs and questions which have to do with the Jews. Therefore I beg you to hear me patiently.
nkjv@Acts:27:4 @ When we had put to sea from there, we sailed under the shelter of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
nkjv@Acts:27:9 @ Now when much time had been spent, and sailing was now dangerous because the Fast was already over, Paul advised them,
nkjv@Acts:27:12 @ And because the harbor was not suitable to winter in, the majority advised to set sail from there also, if by any means they could reach Phoenix, a harbor of Crete opening toward the southwest and northwest, and winter there.
nkjv@Acts:27:18 @ And because we were exceedingly tempest-tossed, the next day they lightened the ship.
nkjv@Acts:28:2 @ And the natives showed us unusual kindness; for they kindled a fire and made us all welcome, because of the rain that was falling and because of the cold.
nkjv@Acts:28:3 @ But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and laid them on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat, and fastened on his hand.
nkjv@Acts:28:18 @ who, when they had examined me, wanted to let me go, because there was no cause for putting me to death.
nkjv@Acts:28:20 @ For this reason therefore I have called for you, to see you and speak with you, because for the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain."
nkjv@Romans:1:19 @ because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them.
nkjv@Romans:1:21 @ because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.
nkjv@Romans:2:24 @ For "the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you," as it is written.
nkjv@Romans:3:2 @ Much in every way! Chiefly because to them were committed the oracles of God.
nkjv@Romans:3:25 @ whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed,
nkjv@Romans:4:15 @ because the law brings about wrath; for where there is no law there is no transgression.
nkjv@Romans:4:25 @ who was delivered up because of our offenses, and was raised because of our justification.
nkjv@Romans:5:5 @ Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
nkjv@Romans:5:12 @ Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned--
nkjv@Romans:6:15 @ What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not!
nkjv@Romans:6:19 @ I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves of uncleanness, and of lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves of righteousness for holiness.
nkjv@Romans:8:7 @ Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be.
nkjv@Romans:8:10 @ And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
nkjv@Romans:8:20 @ For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope;
nkjv@Romans:8:21 @ because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
nkjv@Romans:8:27 @ Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
nkjv@Romans:9:7 @ nor are they all children because they are the seed of Abraham; but, "In Isaac your seed shall be called."
nkjv@Romans:9:28 @ For He will finish the work and cut it short in righteousness, Because the LORD will make a short work upon the earth."
nkjv@Romans:9:32 @ Why? Because they did not seek it by faith, but as it were, by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumbling stone.
nkjv@Romans:11:20 @ Well said. Because of unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by faith. Do not be haughty, but fear.
nkjv@Romans:13:5 @ Therefore you must be subject, not only because of wrath but also for conscience' sake.
nkjv@Romans:13:6 @ For because of this you also pay taxes, for they are God's ministers attending continually to this very thing.
nkjv@Romans:14:15 @ Yet if your brother is grieved because of your food, you are no longer walking in love. Do not destroy with your food the one for whom Christ died.
nkjv@Romans:14:23 @ But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because he does not eat from faith; for whatever is not from faith is sin.
nkjv@Romans:15:15 @ Nevertheless, brethren, I have written more boldly to you on some points, as reminding you, because of the grace given to me by God,
nkjv@1Corinthians:1:25 @ Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
nkjv@1Corinthians:2:14 @ But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
nkjv@1Corinthians:3:13 @ each one's work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one's work, of what sort it is.
nkjv@1Corinthians:7:2 @ Nevertheless, because of sexual immorality, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.
nkjv@1Corinthians:7:5 @ Do not deprive one another except with consent for a time, that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again so that Satan does not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.
nkjv@1Corinthians:7:26 @ I suppose therefore that this is good because of the present distress--that it is good for a man to remain as he is:
nkjv@1Corinthians:8:11 @ And because of your knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died?
nkjv@1Corinthians:11:10 @ For this reason the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels.
nkjv@1Corinthians:12:15 @ If the foot should say, "Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body," is it therefore not of the body?
nkjv@1Corinthians:12:16 @ And if the ear should say, "Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body," is it therefore not of the body?
nkjv@1Corinthians:15:9 @ For I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
nkjv@1Corinthians:15:15 @ Yes, and we are found false witnesses of God, because we have testified of God that He raised up Christ, whom He did not raise up--if in fact the dead do not rise.
nkjv@2Corinthians:1:7 @ And our hope for you is steadfast, because we know that as you are partakers of the sufferings, so also you will partake of the consolation.
nkjv@2Corinthians:2:13 @ I had no rest in my spirit, because I did not find Titus my brother; but taking my leave of them, I departed for Macedonia.
nkjv@2Corinthians:3:7 @ But if the ministry of death, written and engraved on stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of the glory of his countenance, which glory was passing away,
nkjv@2Corinthians:3:10 @ For even what was made glorious had no glory in this respect, because of the glory that excels.
nkjv@2Corinthians:3:14 @ But their minds were blinded. For until this day the same veil remains unlifted in the reading of the Old Testament, because the veil is taken away in Christ.
nkjv@2Corinthians:5:4 @ For we who are in this tent groan, being burdened, not because we want to be unclothed, but further clothed, that mortality may be swallowed up by life.
nkjv@2Corinthians:5:14 @ For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died;
nkjv@2Corinthians:7:13 @ Therefore we have been comforted in your comfort. And we rejoiced exceedingly more for the joy of Titus, because his spirit has been refreshed by you all.
nkjv@2Corinthians:8:22 @ And we have sent with them our brother whom we have often proved diligent in many things, but now much more diligent, because of the great confidence which we have in you.
nkjv@2Corinthians:9:14 @ and by their prayer for you, who long for you
