wmth@Matthew:1:6 @ Jesse of David–the King. David (by Uriah's widow) was the father of Solomon;

wmth@Matthew:1:14 @ Azor of Zadok; Zadok of Achim; Achim of Eliud;

wmth@Matthew:1:20 @ But while he was contemplating this step, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, »Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to bring home your wife Mary, for she is with child through the Holy Spirit.

wmth@Matthew:2:2 @ inquiring, »Where is the newly born king of the Jews? For we have seen his Star in the east, and have come here to do him homage.«

wmth@Matthew:2:8 @ He then directed them to go to Bethlehem, adding, »Go and make careful inquiry about the child, and when you have found him, bring me word, that I too may come and do him homage.«

wmth@Matthew:3:2 @ »Repent,« he said, »for the Kingdom of the Heavens is now close at hand.«

wmth@Matthew:3:9 @ and do not imagine that you can say to yourselves, `We have Abraham as our forefather,' for I tell you that God can raise up descendants for Abraham from these stones.

wmth@Matthew:3:10 @ And already the axe is lying at the root of the trees, so that every tree which does not produce good fruit will quickly be hewn down and thrown into the fire.

wmth@Matthew:3:14 @ John protested. »It is I,« he said, »who have need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?«

wmth@Matthew:3:16 @ and Jesus was baptized, and immediately went up from the water. At that moment the heavens opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him,

wmth@Matthew:4:6 @ and said, »If you are God's Son, throw yourself down; for it is written,

wmth@Matthew:4:8 @ Then the Devil took Him to the top of an exceedingly lofty mountain, from which he caused Him to see all the Kingdoms of the world and their splendour,

wmth@Matthew:4:9 @ and said to Him, »All this I will give you, if you will kneel down and do me homage.«

wmth@Matthew:4:17 @ From that time Jesus began to preach. »Repent,« He said, »for the Kingdom of the Heavens is now close at hand.«

wmth@Matthew:4:23 @ Then Jesus travelled through all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the Good News of the Kingdom, and curing every kind of disease and infirmity among the people.

wmth@Matthew:5:3 @ »Blessed are the poor in spirit, for to them belongs the Kingdom of the Heavens.«

wmth@Matthew:5:10 @ »Blessed are those who have borne persecution in the cause of Righteousness, for to them belongs the Kingdom of the Heavens.«

wmth@Matthew:5:17 @ »Do not for a moment suppose that I have come to abrogate the Law or the Prophets: I have not come to abrogate them but to give them their completion.«

wmth@Matthew:5:19 @ Whoever therefore breaks one of these least commandments and teaches others to break them, will be called the least in the Kingdom of the Heavens; but whoever practises them and teaches them, he will be acknowledged as great in the Kingdom of the Heavens.

wmth@Matthew:5:20 @ For I assure you that unless your righteousness greatly surpasses that of the Scribes and the Pharisees, you will certainly not find entrance into the Kingdom of the Heavens.

wmth@Matthew:5:36 @ And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black.

wmth@Matthew:5:45 @ that so you may become true sons of your Father in Heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the wicked as well as the good, and sends rain upon those who do right and those who do wrong.

wmth@Matthew:5:46 @ For if you love only those who love you, what reward have you earned? Do not even the tax-gatherers do that?

wmth@Matthew:5:47 @ And if you salute only your near relatives, what praise is due to you? Do not even the Gentiles do the same?

wmth@Matthew:6:1 @ »But beware of doing your good actions in the sight of men, in order to attract their gaze; if you do, there is no reward for you with your Father who is in Heaven.«

wmth@Matthew:6:2 @ `When you give in charity, never blow a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and streets in order that their praises may be sung by men. I solemnly tell you that they already have their reward.

wmth@Matthew:6:3 @ But when you are giving in charity, let not your left hand perceive what your right hand is doing,

wmth@Matthew:6:6 @ But you, whenever you pray, go into your own room and shut the door: then pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father –He who sees in secret– will recompense you.

wmth@Matthew:6:7 @ »And when praying, do not use needless repetitions as the Gentiles do, for they expect to be listened to because of their multitude of words.«

wmth@Matthew:6:8 @ Do not, however, imitate them; for your Father knows what things you need before ever you ask Him.

wmth@Matthew:6:10 @ let Thy kingdom come; let Thy will be done, as in Heaven so on earth;

wmth@Matthew:6:15 @ but if you do not forgive others their offences, neither will your Father forgive yours.

wmth@Matthew:6:16 @ »When any of you fast, never assume gloomy looks as the hypocrites do; for they disfigure their faces in order that it may be evident to men that they are fasting. I solemnly tell you that they already have their reward.«

wmth@Matthew:6:19 @ »Do not lay up stores of wealth for yourselves on earth, where the moth and wear-and-tear destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.«

wmth@Matthew:6:20 @ But amass wealth for yourselves in Heaven, where neither the moth nor wear-and-tear destroys, and where thieves do not break in and steal.

wmth@Matthew:6:26 @ Look at the birds which fly in the air: they do not sow or reap or store up in barns, but your Heavenly Father feeds them: are not you of much greater value than they?

wmth@Matthew:6:31 @ Do not be over-anxious, therefore, asking `What shall we eat?' or `What shall we drink?' or `What shall we wear?'

wmth@Matthew:6:33 @ But make His Kingdom and righteousness your chief aim, and then these things shall all be given you in addition.

wmth@Matthew:6:34 @ Do not be over-anxious, therefore, about to-morrow, for to-morrow will bring its own cares. Enough for each day are its own troubles.

wmth@Matthew:7:3 @ And why do you look at the splinter in your brother's eye, and not notice the beam which is in your own eye?

wmth@Matthew:7:6 @ »Give not that which is holy to the dogs, nor throw your pearls to the swine; otherwise they will trample them under their feet and then turn and attack you.«

wmth@Matthew:7:7 @ »Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.«

wmth@Matthew:7:8 @ For it is always he who asks that receives, he who seeks that finds, and he who knocks that has the door opened to him.

wmth@Matthew:7:12 @ Everything, therefore, be it what it may, that you would have men do to you, do you also the same to them; for in this the Law and the Prophets are summed up.

wmth@Matthew:7:19 @ Every tree which does not yield good fruit is cut down and thrown aside for burning.

wmth@Matthew:7:21 @ »Not every one who says to me, `Master, Master,' will enter the Kingdom of the Heavens, but only those who are obedient to my Father who is in Heaven.«

wmth@Matthew:7:23 @ And then I will tell them plainly, »`I never knew you: begone from me, you doers of wickedness.'

wmth@Matthew:7:25 @ and the heavy rain falls, the swollen torrents come, and the winds blow and beat against the house; yet it does not fall, for its foundation is on rock.

wmth@Matthew:7:26 @ And every one who hears these my teachings and does not act upon them will be found to resemble a fool who builds his house upon sand.

wmth@Matthew:8:9 @ For I myself am also under authority, and have soldiers under me. To one I say `Go,' and he goes, to another `Come,' and he comes, and to my slave `Do this or that,' and he does it.«

wmth@Matthew:8:11 @ And I tell you that many will come from the east and from the west and will recline at table with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the Kingdom of the Heavens,

wmth@Matthew:8:12 @ while the natural heirs of the Kingdom will be driven out into the darkness outside: there will be the weeping aloud and the gnashing of teeth.«

wmth@Matthew:8:29 @ They cried aloud, »What hast Thou to do with us, Thou Son of God? Hast Thou come here to torment us before the time?«

wmth@Matthew:8:32 @ »Go,« He replied. Then they came out from the men and went into the swine, whereupon the entire herd instantly rushed down the cliff into the Lake and perished in the water.

wmth@Matthew:9:2 @ Here they brought to Him a paralytic lying on a bed. Seeing their faith Jesus said to the paralytic, »Take courage, my child; your sins are pardoned.«

wmth@Matthew:9:5 @ Why, which is easier? –to say, `Your sins are pardoned,' or to say `Rise up and walk'?

wmth@Matthew:9:6 @ But, to prove to you that the Son of Man has authority on earth to pardon sins« –He then says to the paralytic, »Rise, and take up your bed and go home.«

wmth@Matthew:9:11 @ The Pharisees noticed this, and they inquired of His disciples, »Why does your Teacher eat with the tax-gatherers and notorious sinners?«

wmth@Matthew:9:12 @ He heard the question and replied, »It is not men in good health who require a doctor, but the sick.

wmth@Matthew:9:14 @ At that time John's disciples came and asked Jesus, »Why do we and the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not?«

wmth@Matthew:9:17 @ Nor do people pour new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the skins would split, the wine would escape, and the skins be destroyed. But they put new wine into fresh skins, and both are saved.«

wmth@Matthew:9:28 @ And when He had gone indoors, they came to Him. »Do you believe that I can do this?« He asked them. »Yes, Sir,« they replied.

wmth@Matthew:9:35 @ And Jesus continued His circuits through all the towns and the villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the Good News of the Kingdom, and curing every kind of disease and infirmity.

wmth@Matthew:10:7 @ And as you go, preach and say, `The Kingdom of the Heavens is close at hand.'

wmth@Matthew:10:15 @ I solemnly tell you that it will be more endurable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of Judgement than for that town.

wmth@Matthew:10:16 @ »Remember it is I who am sending you out, as sheep into the midst of wolves; prove yourselves as sagacious as serpents, and as innocent as doves.«

wmth@Matthew:10:28 @ »And do not fear those who kill the body, but cannot kill the soul; but rather fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna.«

wmth@Matthew:10:29 @ Do not two sparrows sell for a halfpenny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father's leave.

wmth@Matthew:10:34 @ »Do not suppose that I came to bring peace to the earth: I did not come to bring peace but a sword.«

wmth@Matthew:10:38 @ and any one who does not take up his cross and follow where I lead is not worthy of me.

wmth@Matthew:11:2 @ Now John had heard in prison about the Christ's doings, and he sent some of his disciples to inquire:

wmth@Matthew:11:6 @ and blessed is every one who does not stumble and fall because of my claims.«

wmth@Matthew:11:11 @ »I solemnly tell you that among all of woman born no greater has ever been raised up than John the Baptist; yet one who is of lower rank in the Kingdom of the Heavens is greater than he.«

wmth@Matthew:11:12 @ But from the time of John the Baptist till now, the Kingdom of the Heavens has been suffering violent assault, and the violent have been seizing it by force.

wmth@Matthew:11:19 @ The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they exclaim, `See this man! –given to gluttony and tippling, and a friend of tax-gatherers and notorious sinners!' And yet Wisdom is vindicated by her actions.«

wmth@Matthew:11:20 @ Then began He to upbraid the towns where most of His mighty works had been done–because they had not repented.

wmth@Matthew:11:21 @ »Alas for thee, Chorazin!« He cried. »Alas for thee, Bethsaida! For had the mighty works been done in Tyre and Sidon which have been done in both of you, they would long ere now have repented, covered with sackcloth and ashes.

wmth@Matthew:11:22 @ Only I tell you that it will be more endurable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of Judgement than for you.

wmth@Matthew:11:23 @ And thou, Capernaum, shalt thou be exalted even to Heaven? Even to Hades shalt thou descend. For had the mighty works been done in Sodom which have been done in thee, it would have remained until now.

wmth@Matthew:11:24 @ Only I tell you all, that it will be more endurable for the land of Sodom on the day of Judgement than for thee.«

wmth@Matthew:11:27 @ »All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one fully knows the Son except the Father, nor does any one fully know the Father except the Son and all to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him.«

wmth@Matthew:12:2 @ But the Pharisees saw it and said to Him, »Look! your disciples are doing what the Law forbids them to do on the Sabbath.«

wmth@Matthew:12:12 @ Is not a man, however, far superior to a sheep? Therefore it is right to do good on the Sabbath.«

wmth@Matthew:12:16 @ But He gave them strict injunctions not to blaze abroad His doings,

wmth@Matthew:12:25 @ Knowing their thoughts He said to them, »Every kingdom in which civil war has raged suffers desolation; and every city or house in which there is internal strife will be brought low.

wmth@Matthew:12:26 @ And if Satan is expelling Satan, he has begun to make war on himself: how therefore shall his kingdom last?

wmth@Matthew:12:27 @ And if it is by Baal-zebul's power that I expel the demons, by whose power do your disciples expel them? They therefore shall be your judges.

wmth@Matthew:12:28 @ But if it is by the power of the Spirit of God that I expel the demons, it is evident that the Kingdom of God has come upon you.

wmth@Matthew:12:42 @ The Queen of the south will awake at the Judgement together with the present generation, and will condemn it; because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and mark! there is One greater than Solomon here.

wmth@Matthew:13:10 @ (And His disciples came and asked Him, »Why do you speak to them in figurative language?«

wmth@Matthew:13:11 @ »Because,« He replied, »while to you it is granted to know the secrets of the Kingdom of the Heavens, to them it is not.

wmth@Matthew:13:13 @ I speak to them in figurative language for this reason, that while looking they do not see, and while hearing they neither hear nor understand.

wmth@Matthew:13:19 @ When a man hears the Message concerning the Kingdom and does not understand it, the Evil one comes and catches away what has been sown in his heart. This is he who has received the seed by the road-side.

wmth@Matthew:13:24 @ Another parable He put before them. »The Kingdom of the Heavens,« He said, »may be compared to a man who has sown good seed in his field,

wmth@Matthew:13:27 @ So the farmer's men come and ask him, »`Sir, was it not good seed that you sowed on your land? Where then does the darnel come from?'

wmth@Matthew:13:28 @ `Some enemy has done this,' he said. »`Shall we go, and collect it?' the men inquire.

wmth@Matthew:13:31 @ Another parable He put before them. »The Kingdom of the Heavens,« He said, »is like a mustard-seed, which a man takes and sows in his ground.

wmth@Matthew:13:33 @ Another parable He spoke to them. »The Kingdom of the Heavens,« He said, »is like yeast which a woman takes and buries in a bushel of flour, for it to work there till the whole mass has risen.«

wmth@Matthew:13:38 @ the field is the world; the good seed–these are the sons of the Kingdom; the darnel, the sons of the Evil one.

wmth@Matthew:13:41 @ The Son of Man will commission His angels, and they will gather out of His Kingdom all causes of sin and all who violate His laws;

wmth@Matthew:13:43 @ Then will the righteous shine out like the sun in their Father's Kingdom. Listen, every one who has ears!

wmth@Matthew:13:44 @ »The Kingdom of the Heavens is like treasure buried in the open country, which a man finds, but buries again, and, in his joy about it, goes and sells all he has and buys that piece of ground.«

wmth@Matthew:13:45 @ »Again the Kingdom of the Heavens is like a jewel merchant who is in quest of choice pearls.«

wmth@Matthew:13:47 @ »Again the Kingdom of the Heavens is like a draw-net let down into the sea, which encloses fish of all sorts.«

wmth@Matthew:13:48 @ When full, they haul it up on the beach, and sit down and collect the good fish in baskets, while the worthless they throw away.

wmth@Matthew:13:52 @ »Therefore,« He said, »remember that every Scribe well trained for the Kingdom of the Heavens is like a householder who brings out of his storehouse new things and old.«

wmth@Matthew:13:54 @ And He came into His own country and proceeded to teach in their synagogue, so that they were filled with astonishment and exclaimed, »Where did he obtain such wisdom, and these wondrous powers?

wmth@Matthew:14:19 @ and He told all the people to sit down on the grass. Then He took the five loaves and the two fish, and after looking up to heaven and blessing them, He broke up the loaves and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples distributed them to the people.

wmth@Matthew:14:23 @ When He had done this, He climbed the hill to pray in solitude. Night came on, and he was there alone.

wmth@Matthew:14:27 @ But instantly Jesus spoke to them, and said, »There is no danger; it is I; do not be afraid.«

wmth@Matthew:14:29 @ »Come,« said Jesus. Then Peter climbed down from the boat and walked upon the water to go to Him.

wmth@Matthew:14:31 @ Instantly Jesus stretched out His hand and caught hold of him, saying to him, »O little faith, why did you doubt?«

wmth@Matthew:14:33 @ and the men on board fell down before him and said, »You are indeed God's Son.«

wmth@Matthew:15:2 @ »Why do your disciples transgress the tradition of the Elders by not washing their hands before meals?«

wmth@Matthew:15:3 @ »Why do you, too,« He retorted, »transgress God's commands for the sake of your tradition?

wmth@Matthew:15:12 @ Then His disciples came and said to Him, »Do you know that the Pharisees were greatly shocked when they heard those words?«

wmth@Matthew:15:17 @ Do you not understand that whatever enters the mouth passes into the stomach and is afterwards ejected from the body?

wmth@Matthew:15:20 @ These are the things which defile the man; but eating with unwashed hands does not defile.«

wmth@Matthew:15:21 @ Leaving that place, Jesus withdrew into the vicinity of Tyre and Sidon.

wmth@Matthew:15:26 @ »It is not right,« He said, »to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs.«

wmth@Matthew:15:27 @ »Be it so, Sir,« she said, »for even the dogs eat the scraps which fall from their masters' tables.«

wmth@Matthew:15:28 @ »O woman,« replied Jesus, »great is your faith: be it done to you as you desire.« And from that moment her daughter was restored to health.

wmth@Matthew:15:29 @ Again, moving thence, Jesus went along by the Lake of Galilee; and ascending the hill, He sat down there.

wmth@Matthew:15:35 @ So He bade all the people sit down on the ground,

wmth@Matthew:16:9 @ Do you not yet understand? nor even remember the 5,000 and the five loaves, and how many basketfuls you carried away,

wmth@Matthew:16:11 @ How is it you do not understand that it was not about bread that I spoke to you? But beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.«

wmth@Matthew:16:13 @ When He arrived in the neighbourhood of Caesarea Philippi, Jesus questioned His disciples. »Who do people say that the Son of Man is?« He asked.

wmth@Matthew:16:15 @ »But you, who do you say that I am?« He asked again.

wmth@Matthew:16:19 @ I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of the Heavens; and whatever you bind on earth shall remain bound in Heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall remain loosed in Heaven.«

wmth@Matthew:16:28 @ I solemnly tell you that some of those who are standing here will certainly not taste death till they have seen the Son of Man coming in His Kingdom.«

wmth@Matthew:17:10 @ »Why then,« asked the disciples, »do the Scribes say that Elijah must first come?«

wmth@Matthew:17:24 @ After their arrival at Capernaum the collectors of the half-shekel came and asked Peter, »Does not your Teacher pay the half-shekel?«

wmth@Matthew:17:25 @ »Yes,« he replied, and then went into the house. But before he spoke a word Jesus said, »What think you, Simon? From whom do this world's kings receive customs or capitation tax? from their own children, or from others?«

wmth@Matthew:18:1 @ Just then the disciples came to Jesus and asked, »Who ranks higher than others in the Kingdom of the Heavens?«

wmth@Matthew:18:3 @ said, »In solemn truth I tell you that unless you turn and become like little children, you will in no case be admitted into the Kingdom of the Heavens.

wmth@Matthew:18:4 @ Whoever therefore shall humble himself as this young child, he it is who is superior to others in the Kingdom of the Heavens.

wmth@Matthew:18:12 @ What do you yourselves think? Suppose a man gets a hundred sheep and one of them strays away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go and look for the one that is straying?

wmth@Matthew:18:13 @ And if he succeeds in finding it, in solemn truth I tell you that he rejoices over it more than he does over the ninety-nine that have not gone astray.

wmth@Matthew:18:22 @ »I do not say seven times,« answered Jesus, »but seventy times seven times.

wmth@Matthew:18:23 @ »For this reason the Kingdom of the Heavens may be compared to a king who determined to have a settlement of accounts with his servants.«

wmth@Matthew:18:26 @ The servant therefore falling down, prostrated himself at his feet and entreated him. »`Only give me time,' he said, `and I will pay you the whole.'

wmth@Matthew:18:35 @ »In the same way my Heavenly Father will deal with you, if you do not all of you forgive one another from your hearts.«

wmth@Matthew:19:12 @ There are men who from their birth have been disabled from marriage, others who have been so disabled by men, and others who have disabled themselves for the sake of the Kingdom of the Heavens. He who is able to receive this, let him receive it.«

wmth@Matthew:19:14 @ Jesus however said, »Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them; for it is to those who are childlike that the Kingdom of the Heavens belongs.«

wmth@Matthew:19:16 @ »Teacher,« said one man, coming up to Him, »what that is good shall I do in order to win the Life of the Ages?«

wmth@Matthew:19:17 @ »Why do you ask me,« He replied, »about what is good? There is only One who is truly good. But if you desire to enter into Life, keep the Commandments.«

wmth@Matthew:19:20 @ »All of these,« said the young man, »I have carefully kept. What do I still lack?«

wmth@Matthew:19:22 @ On hearing those words the young man went away much cast down; for he had much property.

wmth@Matthew:19:23 @ So Jesus said to His disciples, »I solemnly tell you that it is with difficulty that a rich man will enter the Kingdom of the Heavens.

wmth@Matthew:19:24 @ Yes, I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God.«

wmth@Matthew:20:1 @ »For the Kingdom of the Heavens is like an employer who went out early in the morning to hire men to work in his vineyard,«

wmth@Matthew:20:6 @ And going out about five o'clock he found others loitering, and he asked them, »`Why have you been standing here all day long, doing nothing?'

wmth@Matthew:20:12 @ »`These who came last have done only one hour's work, and you have put them on a level with us who have worked the whole day and have borne the scorching heat.'«

wmth@Matthew:20:13 @ »`My friend,' he answered to one of them, `I am doing you no injustice. Did you not agree with me for a shilling?«

wmth@Matthew:20:15 @ Have I not a right to do what I choose with my own property? Or are you envious because I am generous?'

wmth@Matthew:20:21 @ »What is it you desire?« He asked. »Command,« she replied, »that these my two sons may sit one at your right hand and one at your left in your Kingdom.«

wmth@Matthew:20:32 @ So Jesus stood still and called to them. »What shall I do for you?« He asked.

wmth@Matthew:21:15 @ But when the High Priests and the Scribes saw the wonderful things that He had done and the children who were crying aloud in the Temple, they were filled with indignation.

wmth@Matthew:21:16 @ »Do you hear,« they asked Him, »what these children are saying?«»Yes,« He replied; »have you never read,

wmth@Matthew:21:21 @ »I solemnly tell you,« said Jesus, »that if you have an unwavering faith, you shall not only perform such a miracle as this of the fig-tree, but that even if you say to this mountain, `Be thou lifted up and hurled into the sea,' it shall be done;

wmth@Matthew:21:23 @ He entered the Temple; and while He was teaching, the High Priests and the Elders of the people came to Him and asked Him, »By what authority are you doing these things? and who gave you this authority?«

wmth@Matthew:21:24 @ »And I also have a question to ask,« replied Jesus, »and if you answer me, I in turn will tell you by what authority I do these things.

wmth@Matthew:21:27 @ So they answered Jesus, »We do not know.« »Nor do I tell you,« He replied, »by what authority I do these things.«

wmth@Matthew:21:31 @ Which of the two did as his father desired?« »The first,« they said. `I solemnly tell you,' replied Jesus, «that the tax-gatherers and the notorious sinners are entering the Kingdom of God in front of you.

wmth@Matthew:21:40 @ When then the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those vine-dressers?«

wmth@Matthew:21:43 @ »That, I tell you, is the reason why the Kingdom of God will be taken away from you, and given to a nation that will exhibit the power of it.

wmth@Matthew:22:2 @ »The Kingdom of the Heavens,« He said, »may be compared to a king who celebrated the marriage of his son,

wmth@Matthew:22:26 @ So also did the second and the third, down to the seventh,

wmth@Matthew:22:43 @ »How then,« He asked, »does David, taught by the Spirit, call Him Lord, when he says,

wmth@Matthew:23:3 @ Therefore do and observe everything that they command you; but do not imitate their lives, for though they tell others what to do, they do not do it themselves.

wmth@Matthew:23:4 @ Heavy and cumbrous burdens they bind together and load men's shoulders with them, while as for themselves, not with one finger do they choose to lift them.

wmth@Matthew:23:5 @ And everything they do they do with a view to being observed by men; for they widen their phylacteries and make the tassels large,

wmth@Matthew:23:8 @ »As for you, do not accept the title of `Rabbi,' for one alone is your Teacher, and you are all brothers.«

wmth@Matthew:23:10 @ And do not accept the name of `leader,' for your Leader is one alone–the Christ.

wmth@Matthew:23:13 @ »But alas for you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for you lock the door of the Kingdom of the Heavens against men; you yourselves do not enter, nor do you allow those to enter who are seeking to do so.«

wmth@Matthew:23:23 @ »Alas for you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for you pay the tithe on mint, dill, and cumin, while you have neglected the weightier requirements of the Law–just judgement, mercy, and faithful dealing. These things you ought to have done, and yet you ought not to have left the others undone.«

wmth@Matthew:23:24 @ You blind guides, straining out the gnat while you gulp down the camel!

wmth@Matthew:24:2 @ »You see all these?« He replied; »in solemn truth I tell you that there will not be left here one stone upon another that will not be pulled down.«

wmth@Matthew:24:6 @ And before long you will hear of wars and rumours of wars. Do not be alarmed, for such things must be; but the End is not yet.

wmth@Matthew:24:14 @ And this Good News of the Kingdom shall be proclaimed throughout the whole world to set the evidence before all the Gentiles; and then the End will come.

wmth@Matthew:24:17 @ let him who is on the roof not go down to fetch what is in his house;

wmth@Matthew:24:26 @ If therefore they should say to you, `See, He is in the Desert!' do not go out there: or `See, He is indoors in the room!' do not believe it.

wmth@Matthew:24:33 @ So you also, when you see all these signs, may be sure that He is near–at your very door.

wmth@Matthew:24:42 @ Be on the alert therefore, for you do not know the day on which your Lord is coming.

wmth@Matthew:24:44 @ Therefore you also must be ready; for it is at a time when you do not expect Him that the Son of Man will come.

wmth@Matthew:24:46 @ Blessed is that servant whom his master when he comes shall find so doing!

wmth@Matthew:25:1 @ »Then will the Kingdom of the Heavens be found to be like ten bridesmaids who took their torches and went out to meet the bridegroom.«

wmth@Matthew:25:10 @ »So they went to buy. But meanwhile the bridegroom came; those bridesmaids who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet; and the door was shut.«

wmth@Mark:3:22 @ The Scribes, too, who had come down from Jerusalem said, »He has Baal-zebul in him; and it is by the power of the Prince of the demons that he expels the demons.«

wmth@Mark:6:39 @ So He directed them to make all sit down in companies on the green grass.

wmth@Mark:6:40 @ And they sat down in rows of hundreds and of fifties.

wmth@Mark:7:5 @ So the Pharisees and Scribes put the question to Him:»Why do your disciples transgress the traditions of the Elders, and eat their food with unclean hands?«

wmth@Mark:7:12 @ And so you no longer allow him to do anything for his father or mother,

wmth@Mark:7:17 @ After He had left the crowd and gone indoors, His disciples began to ask Him about this figure of speech.

wmth@Mark:7:18 @ »Have also so little understanding?« He replied; »do you not understand that anything whatever that enters a man from outside cannot make him unclean,

wmth@Mark:7:19 @ because it does not go into his heart, but into his stomach, and passes away ejected from him?« By these words Jesus pronounced all kinds of food clean.

wmth@Mark:7:31 @ Returning from the neighbourhood of Tyre, He came by way of Sidon to the Lake of Galilee, passing through the district of the Ten Towns.

wmth@Mark:8:6 @ So He passed the word to the people to sit down on the ground. Then taking the seven loaves He blessed them, and broke them into portions and proceeded to give them to His disciples for them to distribute, and they distributed them to the people.

wmth@Mark:8:12 @ Heaving a deep and troubled sigh, He said, »Why do the men of to-day ask for a sign? In solemn truth I tell you that no sign will be given to the men of to-day.«

wmth@Mark:8:17 @ He perceived what they were saying, and He said to them, »What is this discussion of yours about having no bread? Do you not yet see and understand? Are your minds so dull of comprehension?

wmth@Mark:8:21 @ »Do you not yet understand?« He said.

wmth@Mark:8:26 @ So He sent him home, and added, »Do not even go into the village.«

wmth@Mark:8:27 @ From that place Jesus and His disciples went to the villages belonging to Caesarea Philippi. On the way He began to ask His disciples, »Who do people say that I am?«

wmth@Mark:8:29 @ Then He asked them pointedly, »But you yourselves, who do you say that I am?«»You are the Christ,« answered Peter.

wmth@Mark:8:36 @ Why, what does it benefit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his life?

wmth@Mark:9:1 @ He went on to say, »In solemn truth I tell you that some of those who are standing here will certainly not taste death till they have seen the Kingdom of God already come in power.«

wmth@Mark:9:9 @ As they were coming down from the mountain, He very strictly forbad them to tell any one what they had seen »until after the Son of Man has risen from among the dead.«

wmth@Mark:9:12 @ »Elijah,« He replied, »does indeed come first and reforms everything; but how is it that it is written of the Son of Man that He will endure much suffering and be held in contempt?

wmth@Mark:9:13 @ Yet I tell you that not only has Elijah come, but they have also done to him whatever they chose, as the Scriptures say about him.«

wmth@Mark:9:24 @ Immediately the father cried out, »I do believe: strengthen my weak faith.«

wmth@Mark:10:3 @ »What rule did Moses lay down for you?« He answered.

wmth@Mark:10:10 @ Indoors the disciples began questioning Jesus again on the same subject.

wmth@Mark:10:14 @ Jesus, however, on seeing this, was moved to indignation, and said to them, »Let the little children come to me: do not hinder them; for to those who are childlike the Kingdom of God belongs.

wmth@Mark:10:15 @ In solemn truth I tell you that no one who does not receive the Kingdom of God like a little child will by any possibility enter it.«

wmth@Mark:10:17 @ As He went out to resume His journey, there came a man running up to Him, who knelt at His feet and asked, »Good Rabbi, what am I to do in order to inherit the Life of the Ages?«

wmth@Mark:10:18 @ »Why do you call me good?« asked Jesus in reply; »there is no one truly good except One–that is, God.

wmth@Mark:10:23 @ Then looking round on His disciples Jesus said, »With how hard a struggle will the possessors of riches enter the Kingdom of God!«

wmth@Mark:10:24 @ The disciples were amazed at His words. Jesus, however, said again, »Children, how hard a struggle is it for those who trust in riches to enter the Kingdom of God!

wmth@Mark:10:25 @ It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God.«

wmth@Mark:10:36 @ »What would you have me do for you?« He asked.

wmth@Mark:10:51 @ »What shall I do for you?« said Jesus. »Rabboni,« replied the blind man, »let me recover my sight.«

wmth@Mark:11:3 @ And if any one asks you, `Why are you doing that?' say, `The Master needs it, and will send it back here without delay.'«

wmth@Mark:11:4 @ So they went and found a young ass tied up at the front door of a house. They were untying it,

wmth@Mark:11:5 @ when some of the bystanders called out, »What are you doing, untying the foal?«

wmth@Mark:11:28 @ and asked, »By what authority are you doing these things? and who gave you authority to do them?«

wmth@Mark:11:29 @ »And I will put a question to you,« replied Jesus; »answer me, and then I will tell you by what authority I do these things.

wmth@Mark:11:33 @ So they answered Jesus, »We do not know.«»Nor do I tell you,« said Jesus, »by what authority I do these things.«

wmth@Mark:12:9 @ What, therefore, will the owner of the vineyard do?« »He will come and put the vine-dressers to death,« they said; »and will give the vineyard to others.«

wmth@Mark:12:14 @ So they came to Him. »Rabbi,« they said, »we know that you are a truthful man and you do not fear any one; for you do not recognize human distinctions, but teach God's way truly. Is it allowable to pay poll-tax to Caesar, or not?

wmth@Mark:12:25 @ For when they have risen from among the dead, men do not marry and women are not given in marriage, but they are as angels are in Heaven.

wmth@Mark:12:42 @ But there came one poor widow and dropped in two farthings, equal in value to a halfpenny.

wmth@Mark:14:25 @ I solemnly tell you that never again will I taste the produce of the vine till I shall drink the new wine in the Kingdom of God.«

wmth@Mark:15:43 @ Joseph of Arimathaea came, a highly respected member of the Council, who himself also was living in expectation of the Kingdom of God. He summoned up courage to go in to see Pilate and beg for the body of Jesus.

wmth@Mark:15:46 @ He, having bought a sheet of linen, took Him down, wrapped Him in the sheet and laid Him in a tomb hewn in the rock; after which he rolled a stone against the entrance to the tomb.

wmth@Mark:16:6 @ But he said to them, »Do not be terrified. It is Jesus you are looking for–the Nazarene who has been crucified. He has come back to life: He is not here: this is the place where they laid Him.

wmth@Acts:23:4 @ »Do you rail at God's High Priest?« cried the men who stood by him.

wmth@Acts:23:10 @ But when the struggle was becoming violent, the Tribune, fearing that Paul would be torn to pieces by the people, ordered the troops to go down and take him from among them by force and bring him into the barracks.

wmth@Acts:23:15 @ Now therefore you and the Sanhedrin should make representations to the Tribune for him to bring him down to you, under the impression that you intend to inquire more minutely about him; and we are prepared to assassinate him before he comes near the place.«

wmth@Romans:3:28 @ For we maintain that it is as the result of faith that a man is held to be righteous, apart from actions done in obedience to Law.

wmth@Romans:3:31 @ Do we then by means of this faith abolish the Law? No, indeed; we give the Law a firmer footing.

wmth@Romans:7:1 @ Brethren, do you not know –for I am writing to people acquainted with the Law– that it is during our lifetime that we are subject to the Law?

wmth@Romans:7:5 @ For whilst we were under the thraldom of our earthly natures, sinful passions – made sinful by the Law– were always being aroused to action in our bodily faculties that they might yield fruit to death.

wmth@Romans:7:15 @ For what I do, I do not recognize as my own action. What I desire to do is not what I do, but what I am averse to is what I do.

wmth@Romans:7:17 @ and now it is no longer I that do these things, but the sin which has its home within me does them.

wmth@Romans:7:18 @ For I know that in me, that is, in my lower self, nothing good has its home; for while the will to do right is present with me, the power to carry it out is not.

wmth@Romans:7:19 @ For what I do is not the good thing that I desire to do; but the evil thing that I desire not to do, is what I constantly do.

wmth@Romans:7:20 @ But if I do that which I desire not to do, it can no longer be said that it is I who do it, but the sin which has its home within me does it.

wmth@Romans:7:21 @ I find therefore the law of my nature to be that when I desire to do what is right, evil is lying in ambush for me.

wmth@Romans:8:7 @ Abandonment to earthly things is a state of enmity to God. Such a mind does not submit to God's Law, and indeed cannot do so.

wmth@Romans:8:25 @ But if we hope for something which we do not see, then we eagerly and patiently wait for it.

wmth@Romans:8:26 @ In the same way the Spirit also helps us in our weakness; for we do not know what prayers to offer nor in what way to offer them. But the Spirit Himself pleads for us in yearnings that can find no words,

wmth@Romans:9:6 @ Not however that God's word has failed; for all who have sprung from Israel do not count as Israel,

wmth@Romans:9:11 @ and even then, though they were not then born and had not done anything either good or evil, yet in order that God's electing purpose might not be frustrated, based, as it was, not on their actions but on the will of Him who called them, she was told,

wmth@Romans:11:22 @ Notice therefore God's kindness and God's severity. On those who have fallen His severity has descended, but upon you His kindness has come, provided that you do not cease to respond to that kindness. Otherwise you will be cut off also.

wmth@Romans:11:25 @ For there is a truth, brethren, not revealed hitherto, of which I do not wish to leave you in ignorance, for fear you should attribute superior wisdom to yourselves–the truth, I mean, that partial blindness has fallen upon Israel until the great mass of the Gentiles have come in;

wmth@Romans:11:29 @ For God does not repent of His free gifts nor of His call;

wmth@Romans:11:33 @ Oh, how inexhaustible are God's resources and God's wisdom and God's knowledge! How impossible it is to search into His decrees or trace His footsteps!

wmth@Romans:12:2 @ And do not follow the customs of the present age, but be transformed by the entire renewal of your minds, so that you may learn by experience what God's will is–that will which is good and beautiful and perfect.

wmth@Romans:12:8 @ The teacher must do the same in his teaching; and he who exhorts others, in his exhortation. He who gives should be liberal; he who is in authority should be energetic and alert; and he who succours the afflicted should do it cheerfully.

wmth@Romans:13:4 @ For he is God's servant for your benefit. But if you do what is wrong, be afraid. He does not wear the sword to no purpose: he is God's servant–an administrator to inflict punishment upon evil-doers.

wmth@Romans:13:13 @ Living as we do in broad daylight, let us conduct ourselves becomingly, not indulging in revelry and drunkenness, nor in lust and debauchery, nor in quarrelling and jealousy.

wmth@Romans:14:3 @ Let not him who eats certain food look down upon him who abstains from it, nor him who abstains from it find fault with him who eats it; for God has received both of them.

wmth@Romans:14:10 @ But you, why do you find fault with your brother? Or you, why do you look down upon your brother? We shall all stand before God to be judged;

wmth@1Corinthians:14:16 @ Otherwise, if you bless God in spirit only, how shall he who is in the position of an ungifted man say the `Amen' to your giving of thanks, when he does not know what your words mean?

wmth@1Corinthians:14:20 @ Brethren, do not prove yourselves to be children in your minds. As regards evil, indeed, be utter babes, but as regards your minds prove yourselves to be men of ripe years.

wmth@1Corinthians:14:26 @ What then, brethren? Whenever you assemble, there is not one of you who is not ready either with a song of praise, a sermon, a revelation, a `tongue,' or an interpretation. Let everything be done with a view to the building up of faith and character.

wmth@1Corinthians:14:27 @ If there is speaking in an unknown tongue, only two or at the most three should speak, and they should do so one at a time, and one should interpret;

wmth@1Corinthians:14:39 @ The conclusion, my brethren, is this. Be earnestly ambitious to prophesy, and do not check speaking with tongues;

wmth@1Corinthians:14:40 @ only let everything be done in a becoming and orderly manner.

wmth@1Corinthians:15:20 @ But, in reality, Christ risen from among the dead, being the first to do so of those who are asleep.

wmth@1Corinthians:15:29 @ Otherwise what will become of those who got themselves baptized for the dead? If the dead do not rise at all, why are these baptized for them?

wmth@1Corinthians:15:30 @ Why also do we Apostles expose ourselves to danger every hour?

wmth@1Corinthians:15:31 @ I protest, brethren, as surely as I glory over you –which I may justly do in Christ Jesus our Lord– that I die day by day.

wmth@1Corinthians:15:32 @ If from merely human motives I have fought with wild beasts in Ephesus, what profit is it to me? If the dead do not rise, let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we are to die.

wmth@1Corinthians:15:33 @ Do not deceive yourselves:»Evil companionships corrupt good morals.«

wmth@1Corinthians:15:35 @ But some one will say, »How can the dead rise? And with what kind of body do they come back?«

wmth@1Corinthians:15:50 @ But this I tell you, brethren: our mortal bodies cannot inherit the Kingdom of God, nor will what is perishable inherit what is imperishable.

wmth@1Corinthians:16:1 @ As to the collection for God's people, what I have directed the Churches of Galatia to do, you must do also.

wmth@1Corinthians:16:5 @ I shall come to you after passing through Macedonia; for my plan will be to pass through Macedonia;

wmth@1Corinthians:16:7 @ For I do not wish to see you on this occasion merely in passing; but if the Lord permits, I hope to remain some time with you.

wmth@1Corinthians:16:9 @ for a wide door stands open before me which demands great efforts, and we have many opponents.

wmth@1Corinthians:16:12 @ As for our brother Apollos, I have repeatedly urged him to accompany the brethren who are coming to you: but he is quite resolved not to do so at present. He will come, however, when he has a good opportunity.

wmth@1Corinthians:16:14 @ Let all that you do be done from motives of love.

wmth@1Corinthians:16:19 @ The Churches in the province of Asia send you greetings; and Aquila and Prisca, in hearty Christian love, do the same, together with the Church which meets at their house.

wmth@2Corinthians:1:8 @ For as for our troubles which came upon us in the province of Asia, we would have you know, brethren, that we were exceedingly weighed down, and felt overwhelmed, so that we renounced all hope even of life.

wmth@2Corinthians:1:10 @ He it is who rescued us from so imminent a death, and will do so again; and we have a firm hope in Him that He will also rescue us in all the future,

wmth@2Corinthians:1:12 @ For the reason for our boasting is this–the testimony of our own conscience that it was in holiness and with pure motives before God, and in reliance not on worldly wisdom but on the gracious help of God, that we have conducted ourselves in the world, and above all in our relations with you.

wmth@2Corinthians:1:16 @ and to pass by way of Corinth into Macedonia. Then my plan was to return from Macedonia to you, and be helped forward by you to Judaea.

wmth@2Corinthians:1:17 @ Did I display any vacillation or caprice in this? Or the purposes which I form–do I form them on worldly principles, now crying »Yes, yes,« and now »No, no«?

wmth@2Corinthians:1:24 @ Not that we want to lord it over you in respect of your faith –we do, however, desire to help your joy– for in the matter of your faith you are standing firm.

wmth@2Corinthians:2:12 @ Now when I came into the Troad to spread there the Good News about the Christ, even though in the Lord's providence a door stood open before me,

wmth@2Corinthians:2:13 @ yet, obtaining no relief for my spirit because I did not find our brother Titus, I bade them farewell and went on into Macedonia.

wmth@2Corinthians:2:16 @ to the last-named an odor of death predictive of death, and to the others an odor of life predictive of life. And for such service as this who is competent?

wmth@2Corinthians:3:1 @ Do you say that this is self-recommendation once more? Or do we need, as some do, letters of recommendation to you or from you?

wmth@2Corinthians:3:9 @ For if the service which pronounces doom had glory, far more glorious still is the service which tells of righteousness.

wmth@2Corinthians:3:12 @ Therefore, cherishing a hope like this, we speak without reserve, and we do not imitate Moses,

wmth@2Corinthians:3:17 @ Now by »the Lord« is meant the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, freedom is enjoyed.

wmth@2Corinthians:4:2 @ Nay, we have renounced the secrecy which marks a feeling of shame. We practice no cunning tricks, nor do we adulterate God's Message. But by a full clear statement of the truth we strive to commend ourselves in the presence of God to every human conscience.

wmth@2Corinthians:4:5 @ (For we do not proclaim ourselves, but we proclaim Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your bondservants for the sake of Jesus.)

wmth@2Corinthians:5:1 @ For we know that if this poor tent, our earthly house, is taken down, we have in Heaven a building which God has provided, a house not built by human hands, but eternal.

wmth@2Corinthians:5:4 @ Yes, we who are in this tent certainly do sigh under our burdens, for we do not wish to lay aside that with which we are now clothed, but to put on more, so that our mortality may be absorbed in Life.

wmth@2Corinthians:5:10 @ For we must all of us appear before Christ's judgement-seat in our true characters, in order that each may then receive an award for his actions in this life, in accordance with what he has done, whether it be good or whether it be worthless.

wmth@2Corinthians:5:16 @ Therefore for the future we know no one simply as a man. Even if we have known Christ as a man, yet now we do so no longer.

wmth@2Corinthians:5:20 @ On Christ's behalf therefore we come as ambassadors, God, as it were, making entreaty through our lips: we, on Christ's behalf, beseech men to be reconciled to God.

wmth@2Corinthians:6:3 @ We endeavour to give people no cause for stumbling in anything, lest the work we are doing should fall into discredit.

wmth@2Corinthians:6:14 @ Do not come into close association with unbelievers, like oxen yoked with asses. For what is there in common between righteousness and lawlessness? Or what partnership has light with darkness?

wmth@2Corinthians:6:16 @ And what compact has the Temple of God with idols? For are the Temple of the ever-living God; as God has said,

wmth@2Corinthians:7:2 @ Make room for us in your hearts. There is not one of you whom we have wronged, not one to whom we have done harm, not one over whom we have gained any selfish advantage.

wmth@2Corinthians:7:3 @ I do not say this to imply blame, for, as I have already said, you have such a place in our hearts that we would die with you or live with you.

wmth@2Corinthians:7:4 @ I have great confidence in you: very loudly do I boast of you. I am filled with comfort: my heart overflows with joy amid all our affliction.

wmth@2Corinthians:7:5 @ For even after our arrival in Macedonia we could get no relief such as human nature craves. We were greatly harassed; there were conflicts without and fears within.

wmth@2Corinthians:7:8 @ For if I gave you pain by that letter, I do not regret it, though I did regret it then. I see that that letter, even though for a time it gave you pain, had a salutary effect.

wmth@2Corinthians:8:1 @ But we desire to let you know, brethren, of the grace of God which has been bestowed on the Churches of Macedonia;

wmth@2Corinthians:8:10 @ But in this matter I give you an opinion; for my doing this helps forward your own intentions, seeing that not only have you begun operations, but a year ago you already had the desire to do so.

wmth@2Corinthians:8:11 @ And now complete the doing also, in order that, just as there was then the eagerness in desiring, there may now be the accomplishment in proportion to your means.

wmth@2Corinthians:8:13 @ I do not urge you to give in order that others may have relief while you are unduly pressed,

wmth@2Corinthians:9:2 @ For I know your earnest willingness, on account of which I habitually boast of you to the Macedonians, pointing out to them that for a whole year you in Greece have been ready; and the greater number of them have been spurred on by your ardour.

wmth@2Corinthians:9:4 @ for fear that, if any Macedonians come with me and find you unprepared, we –not to say you yourselves– should be put to the blush in respect to this confidence.

wmth@2Corinthians:9:6 @ But do not forget that he who sows with a niggardly hand will also reap a niggardly crop, and that he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.

wmth@2Corinthians:9:7 @ Let each contribute what he has decided upon in his own mind, and not do it reluctantly or under compulsion.

wmth@2Corinthians:10:7 @ Is it outward appearances you look to? If any man is confident as regards himself that he specially belongs to Christ, let him consider again and reflect that just as he belongs to Christ, so also do we.

wmth@2Corinthians:10:8 @ If, however, I were to boast more loudly of our Apostolic authority, which the Lord has given us that we may build you up, not pull you down, I should have no reason to feel ashamed.

wmth@2Corinthians:10:12 @ For we have not the `courage' to rank ourselves among, or compare ourselves with, certain persons distinguished by their self-commendation. Yet they are not wise, measuring themselves, as they do, by one another and comparing themselves with one another.

wmth@2Corinthians:10:15 @ We do not exceed our due limits, and take credit for other men's labours; but we entertain the hope that, as your faith grows, we shall gain promotion among you –still keeping within our own sphere– promotion to a larger field of labour,

wmth@2Corinthians:10:16 @ and shall tell the Good News in the districts beyond you, not boasting in another man's sphere about work already done by him.

wmth@2Corinthians:11:1 @ I wish you could have borne with a little foolish boasting on my part. Nay, do bear with me.

wmth@2Corinthians:11:8 @ Other Churches I robbed, receiving pay from them in order to do you service.

wmth@2Corinthians:11:9 @ And when I was with you and my resources failed, there was no one to whom I became a burden –for the brethren when they came from Macedonia fully supplied my wants– and I kept myself from being in the least a burden to you, and will do so still.

wmth@2Corinthians:11:11 @ And why? Because I do not love you? God knows that I do.

wmth@2Corinthians:11:17 @ What I am now saying, I do not say by the Lord's command, but as a fool in his folly might, in this reckless boasting.

wmth@2Corinthians:11:33 @ but through an opening in the wall I was let down in a basket, and so escaped his hands.

wmth@2Corinthians:12:2 @ I know a Christian man who fourteen years ago – whether in the body I do not know, or out of the body I do not know; God knows– was caught up (this man of whom I am speaking) even to the highest Heaven.

wmth@2Corinthians:12:3 @ And I know that this man– whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know;

wmth@2Corinthians:12:6 @ If however I should choose to boast, I should not be a fool for so doing, for I should be speaking the truth. But I forbear, lest any one should be led to estimate me more highly than what his own eyes attest, or more highly than what he hears from my lips.

wmth@2Corinthians:12:7 @ And judging by the stupendous grandeur of the revelations–therefore lest I should be over-elated there has been sent to me, like the agony of impalement, Satan's angel dealing blow after blow, lest I should be over-elated.

wmth@2Corinthians:12:9 @ but His reply has been, »My grace suffices for you, for power matures in weakness.« Most gladly therefore will I boast of my infirmities rather than complain of them–in order that Christ's power may overshadow me.

wmth@2Corinthians:12:11 @ It is foolish of me to write all this, but you have compelled me to do so. Why, you ought to have been my vindicators; for in no respect have I been inferior to these superlatively great Apostles, even though in myself I am nothing.

wmth@2Corinthians:12:12 @ The signs that characterize the true Apostle have been done among you, accompanied by unwearied fortitude, and by tokens and marvels and displays of power.

wmth@2Corinthians:12:20 @ For I am afraid that perhaps when I come I may not find you to be what I desire, and that you may find me to be what you do not desire; that perhaps there may be contention, jealousy, bitter feeling, party spirit, ill-natured talk, backbiting, undue eulogy, unrest;

wmth@2Corinthians:13:2 @ Those who cling to their old sins, and indeed all of you, I have forewarned and still forewarn (as I did on my second visit when present, so I do now, though absent) that, when I come again, I shall not spare you;

wmth@2Corinthians:13:5 @ Test yourselves to discover whether you are true believers: put your own selves under examination. Or do you not know that Jesus Christ is within you, unless you are insincere?

wmth@2Corinthians:13:7 @ And our prayer to God is that you may do nothing wrong; not in order that our sincerity may be demonstrated, but that you may do what is right, even though our sincerity may seem to be doubtful.

wmth@2Corinthians:13:10 @ For this reason I write thus while absent, that when present I may not have to act severely in the exercise of the authority which the Lord has given me for building up, and not for pulling down.

wmth@Galatians:2:4 @ Yet there was danger of this through the false brethren secretly introduced into the Church, who had stolen in to spy out the freedom which is ours in Christ Jesus, in order to rob us of it.

wmth@Galatians:2:14 @ As soon as I saw that they were not walking uprightly in the spirit of the Good News, I said to Peter, before them all, »If you, though you are a Jew, live as a Gentile does, and not as a Jew, how can you make the Gentiles follow Jewish customs?

wmth@Galatians:2:21 @ I do not nullify the grace of God; for if acquittal from guilt is obtainable through the Law, then Christ has died in vain.«

wmth@Galatians:3:5 @ He who gives you His Spirit and works miracles among you–does He do so on the ground of your obedience to the Law, or is it the result of your having heard and believed:

wmth@Galatians:3:12 @ and the Law has nothing to do with faith. It teaches that

wmth@Galatians:3:13 @ Christ has purchased our freedom from the curse of the Law by becoming accursed for us–because

wmth@Galatians:3:14 @ Our freedom has been thus purchased in order that in Christ Jesus the blessing belonging to Abraham may come upon the nations, so that through faith we may receive the promised Spirit.

wmth@Galatians:3:19 @ Why then was the Law given? It was imposed later on for the sake of defining sin, until the seed should come to whom God had made the promise; and its details were laid down by a mediator with the help of angels.

wmth@Galatians:4:5 @ in order to purchase the freedom of all who were subject to Law, so that we might receive recognition as sons.

wmth@Galatians:4:8 @ But at one time, you Gentiles, having no knowledge of God, were slaves to gods which in reality do not exist.

wmth@Galatians:5:1 @ Christ having made us gloriously free–stand fast and do not again be hampered with the yoke of slavery.

wmth@Galatians:5:9 @ A little yeast corrupts the whole of the dough.

wmth@Galatians:5:10 @ For my part I have strong confidence in you in the Lord that you will adopt my view of the matter. But the man –be he who he may– who is troubling you, will have to bear the full weight of the judgement to be pronounced on him.

wmth@Galatians:5:13 @ You however, brethren, were called to freedom. Only do not turn your freedom into an excuse for giving way to your lower natures; but become bondservants to one another in a spirit of love.

wmth@Galatians:5:17 @ For the cravings of the lower nature are opposed to those of the Spirit, and the cravings of the Spirit are opposed to those of the lower nature; because these are antagonistic to each other, so that you cannot do everything to which you are inclined.

wmth@Galatians:5:19 @ Now you know full well the doings of our lower natures. Fornication, impurity, indecency, idol-worship, sorcery;

wmth@Galatians:5:21 @ hard drinking, riotous feasting, and the like. And as to these I forewarn you, as I have already forewarned you, that those who are guilty of such things will have no share in the Kingdom of God.

wmth@Galatians:6:7 @ Do not deceive yourselves. God is not to be scoffed at. For whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

wmth@Galatians:6:9 @ Let us not abate our courage in doing what is right; for in due time we shall reap a reward, if we do not faint.

wmth@Galatians:6:13 @ For these very men do not really keep the Law of Moses, but they would have you receive circumcision in order that they may glory in bodies.

wmth@Ephesians:1:5 @ For He pre-destined us to be adopted by Himself as sons through Jesus Christ –such being His gracious will and pleasure–

wmth@Ephesians:1:6 @ to the praise of the splendour of His grace with which He has enriched us in the beloved One.

wmth@Ephesians:1:8 @ the grace which He, the possessor of all wisdom and understanding, lavished upon us,

wmth@Ephesians:1:17 @ For I always beseech the God of our Lord Jesus Christ –the Father most glorious– to give you a spirit of wisdom and penetration through an intimate knowledge of Him,

wmth@Ephesians:1:21 @ high above all other government and authority and power and dominion, and every title of sovereignty used either in this Age or in the Age to come.

wmth@Ephesians:2:11 @ Therefore, do not forget that formerly you were Gentiles as to your bodily condition. You were called the Uncircumcision by those who style themselves the Circumcised–their circumcision being one which the knife has effected.

wmth@Ephesians:2:14 @ For He is our peace–He who has made Jews and Gentiles one, and in His own human nature has broken down the hostile dividing wall,

wmth@Ephesians:3:10 @ concealed in order that the Church might now be used to display to the powers and authorities in the heavenly realms the innumerable aspects of God's wisdom.

wmth@Ephesians:4:9 @ (Now this »re-ascended« –what does it mean but that He had first descended into the lower regions of the earth?

wmth@Ephesians:4:14 @ So we shall no longer be babes nor shall we resemble mariners tossed on the waves and carried about with every changing wind of doctrine according to men's cleverness and unscrupulous cunning, making use of every shifting device to mislead.

wmth@Ephesians:4:19 @ Such men being past feeling have abandoned themselves to impurity, greedily indulging in every kind of profligacy.

wmth@Ephesians:4:22 @ to put away, in regard to your former mode of life, your original evil nature which is doomed to perish as befits its misleading impulses,

wmth@Ephesians:4:26 @ If angry, beware of sinning. Let not your irritation last until the sun goes down;

wmth@Ephesians:4:27 @ and do not leave room for the Devil.

wmth@Ephesians:5:2 @ And live and act lovingly, as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up to death on our behalf as an offering and sacrifice to God, yielding a fragrant odor.

wmth@Ephesians:5:5 @ For be well assured that no fornicator or immoral person and no money-grubber –or in other words idol-worshipper– has any share awaiting him in the Kingdom of Christ and of God.

wmth@Ephesians:5:7 @ Therefore do not become sharers with them.

wmth@Ephesians:5:11 @ Have nothing to do with the barren unprofitable deeds of darkness, but, instead of that, set your faces against them;

wmth@Ephesians:5:12 @ for the things which are done by these people in secret it is disgraceful even to speak of.

wmth@Ephesians:5:17 @ On this account do not prove yourselves wanting in sense, but try to understand what the Lord's will is.

wmth@Ephesians:5:18 @ Do not over-indulge in wine –a thing in which excess is so easy–

wmth@Ephesians:6:4 @ And you, fathers, do not irritate your children, but bring them up tenderly with true Christian training and advice.

wmth@Ephesians:6:6 @ Let it not be in acts of eye-service as if you had but to please men, but as Christ's bondservants who are doing God's will from the heart.

wmth@Ephesians:6:8 @ You well know that whatever right thing any one does, he will receive a requital for it from the Lord, whether he is a slave or a free man.

wmth@Ephesians:6:18 @ Pray with unceasing prayer and entreaty on every fitting occasion in the Spirit, and be always on the alert to seize opportunities for doing so, with unwearied persistence and entreaty on behalf of all God's people,

wmth@Ephesians:6:21 @ But in order that you also may know how I am doing, Tychicus our dearly-loved brother and faithful helper in the Lord's service will tell you everything.

wmth@Philippians:1:15 @ Some indeed actually preach Christ out of envy and contentiousness but there are also others who do it from good will.

wmth@Philippians:1:18 @ What does it matter, however? In any case Christ is preached–either perversely or in honest truth; and in that I rejoice, yes, and will rejoice.

wmth@Philippians:1:20 @ in fulfilment of my eager expectation and hope that I shall never have reason to feel ashamed, but that by my perfect freedom of speech Christ will be glorified in me, now as always, either by my life or by my death.

wmth@Philippians:2:3 @ Do nothing in a spirit of factiousness or of vainglory, but, with true humility, let every one regard the rest as being of more account than himself;

wmth@Philippians:2:13 @ For it is God Himself whose power creates within you the desire to do His gracious will and also brings about the accomplishment of the desire.

wmth@Philippians:2:24 @ but trusting, as I do, in the Lord, I believe that I shall myself also come to you before long.

wmth@Philippians:3:2 @ Beware of `the dogs,' the bad workmen, the self-mutilators.

wmth@Philippians:3:12 @ I do not say that I have already won the race or have already reached perfection. But I am pressing on, striving to lay hold of the prize for which also Christ has laid hold of me.

wmth@Philippians:3:13 @ Brethren, I do not imagine that I have yet laid hold of it. But this one thing I do–forgetting everything which is past and stretching forward to what lies in front of me,

wmth@Philippians:4:6 @ Do not be over-anxious about anything, but by prayer and earnest pleading, together with thanksgiving, let your request be unreservedly made known in the presence of God.

wmth@Philippians:4:9 @ The doctrines and the line of conduct which I taught you –both what you heard and what you saw in me– hold fast to them; and God who gives peace will be with you.

wmth@Philippians:4:11 @ I do not refer to this through fear of privation, for (for my part) I have learned, whatever be my outward experiences, to be content.

wmth@Philippians:4:15 @ And you men and women of Philippi also know that at the first preaching of the Good News, when I had left Macedonia, no other Church except yourselves held communication with me about giving and receiving;

wmth@Philippians:4:17 @ Not that I crave for gifts from you, but I do want to see abundant fruit bring you honour.

wmth@Philippians:4:18 @ I have enough of everything –and more than enough. My wants are fully satisfied now that I have received from the hands of Epaphroditus the generous gifts which you sent me– they are a fragrant odor, an acceptable sacrifice, truly pleasing to God.

wmth@Colossians:1:3 @ We give thanks to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, constantly praying for you as we do,

wmth@Colossians:1:6 @ For it has reached you, and remains with you, just as it has also spread through the whole world, yielding fruit there and increasing, as it has done among you from the day when first you heard it and came really to know the grace of God,

wmth@Colossians:1:9 @ For this reason we also, from the day we first received these tidings, have never ceased to pray for you and to entreat that you may be filled with a clear knowledge of His will accompanied by thorough wisdom and discernment in spiritual things;

wmth@Colossians:1:13 @ It is God who has delivered us out of the dominion of darkness, and has transferred us into the Kingdom of His dearly-loved Son,

wmth@Colossians:1:16 @ For in Him was created the universe of things in heaven and on earth, things seen and things unseen, thrones, dominions, princedoms, powers–all were created, and exist through and for Him.

wmth@Colossians:1:28 @ Him we preach, admonishing every one and instructing every one, with all possible wisdom, so that we may bring every one into God's presence, made perfect through Christ.

wmth@Colossians:2:3 @ In Him all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are stored up, hidden from view.

wmth@Colossians:2:17 @ These were a shadow of things that were soon to come, but the substance belongs to Christ.

wmth@Colossians:2:19 @ Such a one does not keep his hold upon Christ, the Head, from whom the Body, in all its parts nourished and strengthened by its points of contact and its connections, grows with a divine growth.

wmth@Colossians:2:20 @ If you have died with Christ and have escaped from the world's rudimentary notions, why, as though your life still belonged to the world, do you submit to such precepts as

wmth@Colossians:2:21 @ »Do not handle this;« »Do not taste that;«»Do not touch that other thing« –

wmth@Colossians:2:23 @ These rules have indeed an appearance of wisdom where self-imposed worship exists, and an affectation of humility and an ascetic severity. But not one of them is of any value in combating the indulgence of our lower natures.

wmth@Colossians:3:5 @ Therefore put to death your earthward inclinations–fornication, impurity, sensual passion, unholy desire, and all greed, for that is a form of idolatry.

wmth@Colossians:3:9 @ Do not speak falsehoods to one another, for you have stripped off the old self with its doings,

wmth@Colossians:3:16 @ Let the teaching concerning Christ remain as a rich treasure in your hearts. In all wisdom teach and admonish one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, and sing with grace in your hearts to God.

wmth@Colossians:3:17 @ And whatever you do, in word or in deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, and let it be through Him that you give thanks to God the Father.

wmth@Colossians:3:19 @ Married men, be affectionate to your wives, and do not treat them harshly.

wmth@Colossians:3:21 @ Fathers, do not fret and harass your children, or you may make them sullen and morose.

wmth@Colossians:3:23 @ Whatever you are doing, let your hearts be in your work, as a thing done for the Lord and not for men.

wmth@Colossians:4:3 @ And pray at the same time for us also, that God may open for us a door for preaching, for us to tell the truth concerning Christ for the sake of which I am even a prisoner.

wmth@Colossians:4:4 @ Then I shall proclaim it fully, as it is my duty to do.

wmth@Colossians:4:10 @ Aristarchus my fellow prisoner sends greeting to you, and so does Barnabas's cousin Mark. You have received instructions as to him; if he comes to you, give him a welcome.

wmth@Colossians:4:11 @ Jesus, called Justus, also sends greeting. These three are Hebrew converts. They alone among such have worked loyally with me for the Kingdom of God–they are men who have been a comfort to me.

wmth@1Thessalonians:1:7 @ so that you became a pattern to all the believers throughout Macedonia and Greece.

wmth@1Thessalonians:1:8 @ For it was not only from you that the Master's Message sounded forth throughout Macedonia and Greece; but everywhere your faith in God has become known, so that it is unnecessary for us to say anything about it.

wmth@1Thessalonians:1:9 @ For when others speak of us they report the reception we had from you, and how you turned from your idols to God, to be bondservants of the true and ever-living God,

wmth@1Thessalonians:2:11 @ For you know that we acted towards every one of you as a father does towards his own children, encouraging and cheering you,

wmth@1Thessalonians:2:13 @ And for this further reason we render unceasing thanks to God, that when you received God's Message from our lips, it was as no mere message from men that you embraced it, but as –what it really is– God's Message, which also does its work in the hearts of you who believe.

wmth@1Thessalonians:2:18 @ On this account we wanted to come to you –at least I Paul wanted again and again to do so– but Satan hindered us.

wmth@1Thessalonians:4:1 @ Moreover, brethren, as you learnt from our lips the lives which you ought to live, and do live, so as to please God, we beg and exhort you in the name of the Lord Jesus to live them more and more truly.

wmth@1Thessalonians:4:10 @ and indeed you do love all the brethren throughout Macedonia. And we exhort you to do so more and more,

wmth@1Thessalonians:4:11 @ and to vie with one another in eagerness for peace, every one minding his own business and working with his hands, as we ordered you to do:

wmth@1Thessalonians:4:13 @ Now, concerning those who from time to time pass away, we would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, lest you should mourn as others do who have no hope.

wmth@1Thessalonians:4:16 @ For the Lord Himself will come down from Heaven with a loud word of command, and with an archangel's voice and the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.

wmth@1Thessalonians:5:8 @ But let us, belonging –as we do– to the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation.

wmth@1Thessalonians:5:11 @ Therefore encourage one another, and let each one help to strengthen his friend, as in fact you do.

wmth@1Thessalonians:5:15 @ See to it that no one ever repays another with evil for evil; but always seek opportunities of doing good both to one another and to all the world.

wmth@1Thessalonians:5:19 @ Do not quench the Spirit.

wmth@1Thessalonians:5:20 @ Do not think meanly of utterances of prophecy;

wmth@2Thessalonians:1:5 @ For these are a plain token of God's righteous judgement, which has in view your being deemed worthy of admission to God's Kingdom, for the sake of which, indeed, you are sufferers.

wmth@2Thessalonians:1:8 @ He will come in flames of fire to take vengeance on those who have no knowledge of God, and do not obey the Good News as to Jesus, our Lord.

wmth@2Thessalonians:2:5 @ Do you not remember that while I was still with you I used to tell you all this?

wmth@2Thessalonians:2:8 @ and then the Lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will sweep away with the tempest of His anger, and utterly overwhelm by the awful splendour of His Coming.

wmth@2Thessalonians:3:4 @ And we have confidence in the Lord in regard to you that you are doing, and will do, what we command.

wmth@2Thessalonians:3:10 @ For even when we were with you, we laid down this rule for you:»If a man does not choose to work, neither shall he eat.«

wmth@2Thessalonians:3:15 @ And yet do not regard him as an enemy, but caution him as a brother.

wmth@1Timothy:1:3 @ When I was on my journey to Macedonia I begged you to remain on in Ephesus that you might remonstrate with certain persons because of their erroneous teaching

wmth@1Timothy:1:7 @ They are ambitious to be teachers of the Law, although they do not understand either their own words or what the things are about which they make such confident assertions.

wmth@1Timothy:1:10 @ fornicators, sodomites, slave-dealers, liars and false witnesses; and for whatever else is opposed to wholesome teaching

wmth@1Timothy:2:12 @ I do not permit a woman to teach, nor have authority over a man, but she must remain silent.

wmth@1Timothy:3:5 @ (If a man does not know how to rule his own household, how shall he have the Church of God given into his care?)

wmth@1Timothy:3:8 @ Deacons, in the same way, must be men of serious demeanour, not double-tongued, nor addicted to much wine, nor greedy of base gain,

wmth@1Timothy:3:13 @ For those who have filled the deacon's office wisely and well, are already gaining for themselves an honourable standing, and are acquiring great freedom of speech in proclaiming the faith which rests on Christ Jesus.

wmth@1Timothy:4:7 @ But worldly stories, fit only for credulous old women, have nothing to do with.

wmth@1Timothy:4:8 @ Train yourself in godliness. Exercise for the body is not useless, but godliness is useful in every respect, possessing, as it does, the promise of Life now and of the Life which is soon coming.

wmth@1Timothy:4:14 @ Do not be careless about the gifts with which you are endowed, which were conferred on you through a divine revelation when the hands of the elders were placed upon you.

wmth@1Timothy:4:16 @ Be on your guard as to yourself and your teaching. Persevere in these things; for by doing this you will make certain your own salvation and that of your hearers.

wmth@1Timothy:5:3 @ Honour widows who are really in need.

wmth@1Timothy:5:4 @ But if a widow has children or grandchildren, let these learn first to show piety towards their own homes and to prove their gratitude to their parents; for this is well pleasing in the sight of God.

wmth@1Timothy:5:5 @ A widow who is really in need, friendless and desolate, has her hopes fixed on God, and continues at her supplications and prayers, night and day;

wmth@1Timothy:5:6 @ but a pleasure-loving widow is dead even while still alive.

wmth@1Timothy:5:9 @ No widow is to be put on the roll who is under sixty years of age.

wmth@1Timothy:5:11 @ But the younger widows you must not enrol; for as soon as they begin to chafe against the yoke of Christ, they want to marry,

wmth@1Timothy:5:14 @ I would therefore have the younger women marry, bear children, rule in domestic matters, and furnish the Adversary with no excuse for slander.

wmth@1Timothy:5:16 @ If a believing woman has widows dependent on her, she should relieve their wants, and save the Church from being burdened–so that the Church may relieve the widows who are really in need.

wmth@1Timothy:5:17 @ Let the Elders who perform their duties wisely and well be held worthy of double honour, especially those who labour in preaching and teaching.

wmth@1Timothy:5:21 @ I solemnly call upon you, in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus and of the elect angels, to carry out these instructions of mine without prejudice, and to do nothing from partiality.

wmth@1Timothy:5:22 @ Do not ordain any one hastily; and do not be a partaker in the sins of others; keep pure.

wmth@1Timothy:6:3 @ So teach and exhort. If any one is a teacher of any other kind of doctrine, and refuses assent to wholesome instructions –those of our Lord Jesus Christ– and the teaching that harmonizes with true godliness,

wmth@2Timothy:1:8 @ Do not be ashamed then to bear witness for our Lord and for me His prisoner; but rather share suffering with me in the service of the Good News, strengthened by the power of God.

wmth@2Timothy:1:12 @ That indeed is the reason why I suffer as I do. But I am not ashamed, for I know in whom my trust reposes, and I am confident that He has it in His power to keep what I have entrusted to Him safe until that day.

wmth@2Timothy:2:23 @ But avoid foolish discussions with ignorant men, knowing –as you do– that these lead to quarrels;

wmth@2Timothy:2:26 @ and recover sober-mindedness and freedom from the Devil's snare, though they are now entrapped by him to do his will.

wmth@2Timothy:3:6 @ Among them are included the men who make their way into private houses and carry off weak women as their prisoners–women who, weighed down by the burden of their sins, are led by ever-changing caprice,

wmth@2Timothy:3:16 @ Every Scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for convincing, for correction of error, and for instruction in right doing;

wmth@2Timothy:4:5 @ But as for you, you must exercise habitual self-control, and not live a self-indulgent life, but do the duty of an evangelist and fully discharge the obligations of your office.

wmth@2Timothy:4:10 @ For Demas has deserted me –loving, as he does, the present age– and has gone to Thessalonica; Crescens has gone to Galatia, and Titus to Dalmatia.

wmth@2Timothy:4:14 @ Alexander the metal-worker showed bitter hostility towards me: the Lord will requite him according to his doings.

wmth@2Timothy:4:18 @ The Lord will deliver me from every cruel attack and will keep me safe in preparation for His heavenly Kingdom. To Him be the glory until the Ages of the Ages! Amen.

wmth@2Timothy:4:21 @ Make an effort to come before winter. Eubulus greets you, and so do Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the brethren.

wmth@Titus:1:5 @ I have left you behind in Crete in order that you may set right the things which still require attention, and appoint Elders in every town, as I directed you to do;

wmth@Titus:2:14 @ who gave Himself for us to purchase our freedom from all iniquity, and purify for Himself a people who should be specially His own, zealous for doing good works.

wmth@Titus:3:5 @ as righteous men, had done, but as the result of His own mercy He saved us by means of the bath of regeneration and the renewal of our natures by the Holy Spirit,

wmth@Philemon:1:6 @ praying as I do, that their participation in your faith may result in others fully recognizing all the right affection that is in us toward Christ.

wmth@Philemon:1:8 @ Therefore, though I might with Christ's authority speak very freely and order you to do what is fitting,

wmth@Philemon:1:12 @ I am sending him back to you, though in so doing I send part of myself.

wmth@Philemon:1:14 @ Only I wished to do nothing without your consent, so that his kind action of yours might not be done under pressure, but might be a voluntary one.

wmth@Philemon:1:20 @ Yes, brother, do me this favour for the Lord's sake. Refresh my heart in Christ.

wmth@Philemon:1:21 @ I write to you in the full confidence that you will meet my wishes, for I know you will do even more than I say.

wmth@Hebrews:2:6 @ But, as we know, a writer has solemnly said, How poor a creature is man, and yet Thou dost remember him, and a son of man, and yet Thou dost come to him!

wmth@Hebrews:2:8 @ Thou hast put everything in subjection under his feet. - For this subjecting of the universe to man implies the leaving nothing not subject to him. But we do not as yet see the universe subject to him.

wmth@Hebrews:3:8 @ do not harden your hearts as your forefathers did in the time of the provocation on the day of the temptation in the Desert,

wmth@Hebrews:4:13 @ And no created thing is able to escape its scrutiny; but everything lies bare and completely exposed before the eyes of Him with whom we have to do.

wmth@Hebrews:6:3 @ And advance we will, if God permits us to do so.

wmth@Hebrews:6:6 @ it is impossible, I say, to keep bringing them back to a new repentance, for, to their own undoing, they are repeatedly crucifying the Son of God afresh and exposing Him to open shame.

wmth@Hebrews:7:6 @ But, in this instance, one who does not trace his origin from them takes tithes from Abraham, and pronounces a blessing on him to whom the promises belong.

wmth@Hebrews:7:13 @ He, however, to whom that prophecy refers is associated with a different tribe, not one member of which has anything to do with the altar.

wmth@Hebrews:7:24 @ but He, because He continues for ever, has a priesthood which does not pass to any successor.

wmth@Hebrews:9:5 @ And above the ark were the Cherubim denoting God's glorious presence and overshadowing the Mercy-seat. But I cannot now speak about all these in detail.

wmth@Hebrews:9:9 @ And this is a figure –for the time now present– answering to which both gifts and sacrifices are offered, unable though they are to give complete freedom from sin to him who ministers.

wmth@Hebrews:9:11 @ But Christ appeared as a High Priest of the blessings that are soon to come by means of the greater and more perfect Tent of worship, a tent which has not been built with hands –that is to say does not belong to this material creation–

wmth@Hebrews:9:26 @ In that case Christ would have needed to suffer many times, from the creation of the world onwards; but as a matter of fact He has appeared once for all, at the Close of the Ages, in order to do away with sin by the sacrifice of Himself.

wmth@Hebrews:10:1 @ For, since the Law exhibits only an outline of the blessings to come and not a perfect representation of the things themselves, the priests can never, by repeating the same sacrifices which they continually offer year after year, give complete freedom from sin to those who draw near.

wmth@Hebrews:10:9 @ He then adds, He does away with the first in order to establish the second.

wmth@Hebrews:10:25 @ not neglecting –as some habitually do– to meet together, but encouraging one another, and doing this all the more since you can see the day of Christ approaching.

wmth@Hebrews:10:35 @ Therefore do not cast from you your confident hope, for it will receive a vast reward.

wmth@Hebrews:10:36 @ For you stand in need of patient endurance, so that, as the result of having done the will of God, you may receive the promised blessing.

wmth@Hebrews:11:1 @ Now faith is a well-grounded assurance of that for which we hope, and a conviction of the reality of things which we do not see.

wmth@Hebrews:11:3 @ Through faith we understand that the worlds came into being, and still exist, at the command of God, so that what is seen does not owe its existence to that which is visible.

wmth@Hebrews:11:29 @ Through faith they passed through the Red Sea as though they were passing over dry land, but the Egyptians, when they tried to do the same, were swallowed up.

wmth@Hebrews:11:33 @ men who, as the result of faith, conquered whole kingdoms, brought about true justice, obtained promises from God, stopped lions' mouths,

wmth@Hebrews:12:7 @ The sufferings that you are enduring are for your discipline. God is dealing with you as sons; for what son is there whom his father does not discipline?

wmth@Hebrews:12:10 @ It is true that they disciplined us for a few years according as they thought fit; but He does it for our certain good, in order that we may become sharers in His own holy character.

wmth@Hebrews:12:17 @ For you know that even afterwards, when he wished to secure the blessing, he was rejected; for he found no opportunity for undoing what he had done, though he sought the blessing earnestly with tears.

wmth@Hebrews:12:28 @ Therefore, receiving, as we now do, a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us cherish thankfulness so that we may ever offer to God an acceptable service, with godly reverence and awe.

wmth@Hebrews:13:2 @ Do not neglect to show kindness to strangers; for, in this way, some, without knowing it, have had angels as their guests.

wmth@Hebrews:13:9 @ Do not be drawn aside by all sorts of strange teaching; for it is well to have the heart made stedfast through God's grace, and not by special kinds of food, from which those who scrupulously attend to them have derived no benefit.

wmth@Hebrews:13:16 @ And do not forget to be kind and liberal; for with sacrifices of that sort God is greatly pleased.

wmth@Hebrews:13:17 @ Obey your leaders and be submissive to them. For they are keeping watch over your souls as those who will have to give account; that they may do this with joy and not with lamentation. For that would be of no advantage to you.

wmth@Hebrews:13:21 @ fully equip you with every grace that you may need for the doing of His will, producing in us that which will truly please Him through Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory to the Ages of the Ages! Amen.

wmth@James:1:5 @ And if any one of you is deficient in wisdom, let him ask God for it, who gives with open hand to all men, and without upbraiding; and it will be given him.

wmth@James:1:6 @ But let him ask in faith and have no doubts; for he who has doubts is like the surge of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed into spray.

wmth@James:1:13 @ Let no one say when passing through trial, »My temptation is from God;« for God is incapable of being tempted to do evil, and He Himself tempts no one.

wmth@James:1:16 @ Do not be deceived, my dearly-loved brethren.

wmth@James:1:17 @ Every gift which is good, and every perfect boon, is from above, and comes down from the Father, who is the source of all Light. In Him there is no variation nor the slightest suggestion of change.

wmth@James:1:20 @ For a man's anger does not lead to action which God regards as righteous.

wmth@James:1:22 @ But prove yourselves obedient to the Message, and do not be mere hearers of it, imposing a delusion upon yourselves.

wmth@James:1:23 @ For if any one listens but does not obey, he is like a man who carefully looks at his own face in a mirror.

wmth@James:1:25 @ But he who looks closely into the perfect Law –the Law of freedom– and continues looking, he, being not a hearer who forgets, but an obedient doer, will as the result of his obedience be blessed.

wmth@James:1:27 @ The religious service which is pure and stainless in the sight of our God and Father is to visit fatherless children and widowed women in their time of trouble, and to keep one's own self unspotted from the world.

wmth@James:2:5 @ Listen, my dearly-loved brethren. Has not God chosen those whom the world regards as poor to be rich in faith and heirs of the Kingdom which He has promised to those that love Him?

wmth@James:2:6 @ But have put dishonour upon the poor man. Yet is it not the rich who grind you down? Are not they the very people who drag you into the Law courts? –

wmth@James:2:12 @ Speak and act as those should who are expecting to be judged by the Law of freedom.

wmth@James:2:14 @ What good is it, my brethren, if a man professes to have faith, and yet his actions do not correspond? Can such faith save him?

wmth@James:2:16 @ and one of you says to them, »I wish you well; keep yourselves warm and well fed,« and yet you do not give them what they need; what is the use of that?

wmth@James:3:1 @ Do not be eager, my brethren, for many among you to become teachers; for you know that we teachers shall undergo severer judgement.

wmth@James:3:14 @ But if in your hearts you have bitter feelings of envy and rivalry, do not speak boastfully and falsely, in defiance of the truth.

wmth@James:3:15 @ That is not the wisdom which comes down from above: it belongs to earth, to the unspiritual nature, and to evil spirits.

wmth@James:3:17 @ The wisdom from above is first of all pure, then peaceful, courteous, not self-willed, full of compassion and kind actions, free from favouritism and from all insincerity.

wmth@James:4:2 @ You covet things and yet cannot get them; you commit murder; you have passionate desires and yet cannot gain your end; you begin to fight and make war. You have not, because you do not pray;

wmth@James:4:3 @ or you pray and yet do not receive, because you pray wrongly, your object being to waste what you get on some pleasure or another.

wmth@James:4:4 @ You unfaithful women, do you not know that friendship with the world means enmity to God? Therefore whoever is bent on being friendly with the world makes himself an enemy to God.

wmth@James:4:5 @ Or do you suppose that it is to no purpose that the Scripture says, »The Spirit which He has caused to dwell in our hearts yearns jealously over us«?

wmth@James:4:11 @ Do not speak evil of one another, brethren. The man who speaks evil of a brother-man or judges his brother-man speaks evil of the Law and judges the Law. But if you judge the Law, you are no longer one who obeys the Law, but one who judges it.

wmth@James:4:14 @ when, all the while, you do not even know what will happen to-morrow. For what is the nature of your life? Why, it is but a mist, which appears for a short time and then is seen no more.

wmth@James:4:15 @ Instead of that you ought to say, »If it is the Lord's will, we shall live and do this or that.«

wmth@James:4:17 @ If, however, a man knows what it is right to do and yet does not do it, he commits a sin.

wmth@James:5:9 @ Do not cry out in condemnation of one another, brethren, lest you come under judgement. I tell you that the Judge is standing at the door.

wmth@James:5:12 @ But above all things, my brethren, do not swear, either by Heaven or by the earth, or with any other oath. Let your `yes' be simply `yes,' and your `no' be simply `no;' that you may not come under condemnation.

wmth@1Peter:1:1 @ Peter, an Apostle of Jesus Christ: To God's own people scattered over the earth, who are living as foreigners in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Roman Asia, and Bithynia,

wmth@1Peter:1:14 @ And, since you delight in obedience, do not shape your lives by the cravings which used to dominate you in the time of your ignorance,

wmth@1Peter:1:18 @ knowing, as you do, that it was not with a ransom of perishable wealth, such as silver or gold, that you were set free from your frivolous habits of life which had been handed down to you from your forefathers,

wmth@1Peter:2:12 @ Live honourable lives among the Gentiles, in order that, although they now speak against you as evil-doers, they may yet witness your good conduct, and may glorify God on the day of reward and retribution.

wmth@1Peter:2:14 @ or to provincial Governors as sent by him for the punishment of evil-doers and the encouragement of those who do what is right.

wmth@1Peter:2:15 @ For it is God's will that by doing what is right you should thus silence the ignorant talk of foolish persons.

wmth@1Peter:2:16 @ Be free men, and yet do not make your freedom an excuse for base conduct, but be God's bondservants.

wmth@1Peter:2:20 @ If you do wrong and receive a blow for it, what credit is there in your bearing it patiently? But if when you do right and suffer for it you bear it patiently, this is an acceptable thing with God.

wmth@1Peter:3:3 @ Your adornment ought not to be a merely outward thing–one of plaiting the hair, putting on jewelry, or wearing beautiful dresses.

wmth@1Peter:3:5 @ For in ancient times also this was the way the holy women who set their hopes upon God used to adorn themselves, being submissive to their husbands.

wmth@1Peter:3:6 @ Thus, for instance, Sarah obeyed Abraham, acknowledging his authority over her. And you have become Sarah's children if you do what is right and permit nothing whatever to terrify you.

wmth@1Peter:3:14 @ But even if you suffer for righteousness' sake, you are to be envied. So do not be alarmed by their threats, nor troubled;

wmth@1Peter:3:17 @ For it is better that you should suffer for doing right, if such be God's will, than for doing evil;

wmth@1Peter:4:1 @ Since, then, Christ has suffered in the flesh, you also must arm yourselves with a determination to do the same –because he who has suffered in the flesh has done with sin–

wmth@1Peter:4:3 @ For you have given time enough in the past to the doing of the things which the Gentiles delight in– pursuing, as you did, a course of habitual licence, debauchery, hard drinking, noisy revelry, drunkenness and unholy image-worship.

wmth@1Peter:4:4 @ At this they are astonished–that you do not run into the same excess of profligacy as they do; and they speak abusively of you.

wmth@1Peter:4:12 @ Dear friends, do not be surprised at finding that that scorching flame of persecution is raging among you to put you to the test–as though some surprising thing were accidentally happening to you.

wmth@1Peter:4:15 @ But let not one of you suffer as a murderer or a thief or an evil-doer, or as a spy upon other people's business.

wmth@1Peter:4:19 @ Therefore also, let those who are suffering in accordance with the will of God entrust their souls in well-doing to a faithful Creator.

wmth@1Peter:5:13 @ The Church in Babylon, chosen like yourselves by God, sends greetings, and so does Mark my son.

wmth@2Peter:1:11 @ And so a triumphant admission into the eternal Kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ will be freely granted to you.

wmth@2Peter:1:15 @ So on every possible occasion I will also do my best to enable you to recall these things after my departure.

wmth@2Peter:1:19 @ And in the written word of prophecy we have something more permanent; to which you do well to pay attention –as to a lamp shining in a dimly-lighted place– until day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.

wmth@2Peter:2:4 @ For God did not spare angels when they had sinned, but hurling them down to Tartarus consigned them to caves of darkness, keeping them in readiness for judgement.

wmth@2Peter:2:6 @ He reduced to ashes the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, and condemned them to overthrow, making them an example to people who might in future be living godless lives.

wmth@2Peter:2:10 @ and especially those who are abandoned to sensuality–craving, as they do, for polluted things, and scorning control. Fool-hardy and self-willed, they do not tremble when speaking evil of glorious beings;

wmth@2Peter:2:11 @ while angels, though greater than they in might and power, do not bring any insulting accusation against such in the presence of the Lord.

wmth@2Peter:2:13 @ being doomed to receive a requital for their guilt. They reckon it pleasure to feast daintily in broad daylight. They are spots and blemishes, while feeding luxuriously at their love-feasts, and banqueting with you.

wmth@2Peter:2:14 @ Their very eyes are full of adultery–being eyes which never cease from sin. These men set traps to catch unstedfast souls, their own hearts being well trained in greed. They are fore-doomed to God's curse!

wmth@2Peter:2:19 @ And they promise them freedom, although they are themselves the slaves of what is corrupt. For a man is the slave of any one by whom he has been worsted in fight.

wmth@2Peter:3:15 @ And always regard the patient forbearance of our Lord as salvation, as our dear brother Paul also has written to you in virtue of the wisdom granted to him.

wmth@2Peter:3:16 @ That is what he says in all his letters, when speaking in them of these things. In those letters there are some statements hard to understand, which ill-taught and unprincipled people pervert, just as they do the rest of the Scriptures, to their own ruin.

wmth@1John:2:4 @ He who professes to know Him, and yet does not obey His commands, is a liar, and the truth has no place in his heart.

wmth@1John:2:11 @ But he who hates his brother man is in darkness and is walking in darkness; and he does not know where he is going–because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

wmth@1John:2:15 @ Do not love the world, nor the things in the world. If any one loves the world, there is no love in his heart for the Father.

wmth@1John:2:17 @ And the world, with its cravings, is passing away, but he who does God's will continues for ever.

wmth@1John:2:19 @ They have gone forth from our midst, but they did not really belong to us; for had they belonged to us, they would have remained with us. But they left us that it might be manifest that professed believers do not all belong to us.

wmth@1John:2:24 @ As for you, let the teaching which you have received from the very beginning continue in your hearts. If that teaching does continue in your hearts, you also will continue to be in union with the Son and with the Father.

wmth@1John:2:27 @ And as for you, the anointing which you received from Him remains within you, and there is no need for any one to teach you. But since His anointing gives you instruction in all things –and is true and is no falsehood– you are continuing in union with Him even as it has taught you to do.

wmth@1John:3:1 @ See what marvellous love the Father has bestowed upon us –that we should be called God's children: and that is what we are. For this reason the world does not recognize us– because it has not known Him.

wmth@1John:3:8 @ He who is habitually guilty of sin is a child of the Devil, because the Devil has been a sinner from the very beginning. The Son of God appeared for the purpose of undoing the work of the Devil.

wmth@1John:3:10 @ By this we can distinguish God's children and the Devil's children: no one who fails to act righteously is a child of God, nor he who does not love his brother man.

wmth@1John:3:13 @ Do not be surprised, brethren, if the world hates you.

wmth@1John:3:16 @ We know what love is–through Christ's having laid down His life on our behalf; and in the same way we ought to lay down our lives for our brother men.

wmth@1John:3:21 @ Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have perfect confidence towards God;

wmth@1John:3:22 @ and whatever we ask for we obtain from Him, because we obey His commands and do the things which are pleasing in His sight.

wmth@1John:3:23 @ And this is His command–that we are to believe in His Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as He has commanded us to do.

wmth@1John:4:1 @ Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but put the spirits to the test to see whether they are from God; for many false teachers have gone out into the world.

wmth@1John:4:3 @ and that no spirit is from God which does not acknowledge this about Jesus. Such is the spirit of the anti-Christ; of whose coming you have heard, and it is already in the world.

wmth@1John:4:6 @ The man who is beginning to know God listens to us, but he who is not a child of God does not listen to us. By this test we can distinguish the Spirit of truth from the spirit of error.

wmth@1John:4:20 @ If any one says that he loves God, while he hates his brother man, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother man whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen.

wmth@1John:5:10 @ He who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in his own heart: he who does not believe God has made Him a liar, in that he has refused to accept the testimony which God has given about His Son.

wmth@1John:5:16 @ If any one sees a brother man committing a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask and God shall give him life–for those who do not sin unto death. There is such a thing as sin unto death; for that I do not bid him make request.

wmth@1John:5:17 @ Any kind of wrongdoing is sin; but there is sin which is not unto death.
