nkjv@Matthew:1:1 @ The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the Son of David, the Son of Abraham:

nkjv@Matthew:1:2 @ Abraham begot Isaac, Isaac begot Jacob, and Jacob begot Judah and his brothers.

nkjv@Matthew:1:11 @ Josiah begot Jeconiah and his brothers about the time they were carried away to Babylon.

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

nkjv@Matthew:1:17 @ So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations, from David until the captivity in Babylon are fourteen generations, and from the captivity in Babylon until the Christ are fourteen generations.

nkjv@Matthew:1:18 @ Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: After His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit.

nkjv@Matthew:1:20 @ But while he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.

nkjv@Matthew:1:21 @ And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name JESUS, for He will save His people from their sins."

nkjv@Matthew:1:22 @ So all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying:

nkjv@Matthew:1:23 @ "Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel," which is translated, "God with us."

nkjv@Matthew:1:24 @ Then Joseph, being aroused from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord commanded him and took to him his wife,

nkjv@Matthew:1:25 @ and did not know her till she had brought forth her firstborn Son. And he called His name JESUS.

nkjv@Matthew:2:1 @ Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem,

nkjv@Matthew:2:2 @ saying, "Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East and have come to worship Him."

nkjv@Matthew:2:3 @ When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.

nkjv@Matthew:2:4 @ And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born.

nkjv@Matthew:2:5 @ So they said to him, "In Bethlehem of Judea, for thus it is written by the prophet:

nkjv@Matthew:2:6 @ "But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, Are not the least among the rulers of Judah; For out of you shall come a Ruler Who will shepherd My people Israel."'

nkjv@Matthew:2:7 @ Then Herod, when he had secretly called the wise men, determined from them what time the star appeared.

nkjv@Matthew:2:11 @ And when they had come into the house, they saw the young Child with Mary His mother, and fell down and worshiped Him. And when they had opened their treasures, they presented gifts to Him: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

nkjv@Matthew:2:13 @ Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, "Arise, take the young Child and His mother, flee to Egypt, and stay there until I bring you word; for Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him."

nkjv@Matthew:2:14 @ When he arose, he took the young Child and His mother by night and departed for Egypt,

nkjv@Matthew:2:16 @ Then Herod, when he saw that he was deceived by the wise men, was exceedingly angry; and he sent forth and put to death all the male children who were in Bethlehem and in all its districts, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had determined from the wise men.

nkjv@Matthew:2:20 @ saying, "Arise, take the young Child and His mother, and go to the land of Israel, for those who sought the young Child's life are dead."

nkjv@Matthew:2:21 @ Then he arose, took the young Child and His mother, and came into the land of Israel.

nkjv@Matthew:2:22 @ But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea instead of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. And being warned by God in a dream, he turned aside into the region of Galilee.

nkjv@Matthew:3:1 @ In those days John the Baptist came preaching in the wilderness of Judea,

nkjv@Matthew:3:2 @ and saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!"

nkjv@Matthew:3:3 @ For this is he who was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah, saying: "The voice of one crying in the wilderness: "Prepare the way of the LORD; Make His paths straight."'

nkjv@Matthew:3:4 @ Now John himself was clothed in camel's hair, with a leather belt around his waist; and his food was locusts and wild honey.

nkjv@Matthew:3:7 @ But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, "Brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

nkjv@Matthew:3:9 @ and do not think to say to yourselves, "We have Abraham as our father.' For I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones.

nkjv@Matthew:3:10 @ And even now the ax is laid to the root of the trees. Therefore every tree which does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

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

nkjv@Matthew:3:12 @ His winnowing fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clean out His threshing floor, and gather His wheat into the barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire."

nkjv@Matthew:3:15 @ But Jesus answered and said to him, "Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness." Then he allowed Him.

nkjv@Matthew:3:17 @ And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."

nkjv@Matthew:4:4 @ But He answered and said, "It is written, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God."'

nkjv@Matthew:4:6 @ and said to Him, "If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down. For it is written: "He shall give His angels charge over you,' and, "In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone."'

nkjv@Matthew:4:7 @ Jesus said to him, "It is written again, "You shall not tempt the LORD your God."'

nkjv@Matthew:4:10 @ Then Jesus said to him, "Away with you, Satan! For it is written, "You shall worship the LORD your God, and Him only you shall serve."'

nkjv@Matthew:4:11 @ Then the devil left Him, and behold, angels came and ministered to Him.

nkjv@Matthew:4:12 @ Now when Jesus heard that John had been put in prison, He departed to Galilee.

nkjv@Matthew:4:13 @ And leaving Nazareth, He came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the regions of Zebulun and Naphtali,

nkjv@Matthew:4:14 @ that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying:

nkjv@Matthew:4:17 @ From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."

nkjv@Matthew:4:18 @ And Jesus, walking by the Sea of Galilee, saw two brothers, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.

nkjv@Matthew:4:19 @ Then He said to them, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men."

nkjv@Matthew:4:21 @ Going on from there, He saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets. He called them,

nkjv@Matthew:4:23 @ And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people.

nkjv@Matthew:4:24 @ Then His fame went throughout all Syria; and they brought to Him all sick people who were afflicted with various diseases and torments, and those who were demon-possessed, epileptics, and paralytics; and He healed them.

nkjv@Matthew:4:25 @ Great multitudes followed Him--from Galilee, and from Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and beyond the Jordan.

nkjv@Matthew:5:1 @ And seeing the multitudes, He went up on a mountain, and when He was seated His disciples came to Him.

nkjv@Matthew:5:2 @ Then He opened His mouth and taught them, saying:

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

nkjv@Matthew:5:10 @ Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

nkjv@Matthew:5:12 @ Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

nkjv@Matthew:5:13 @ "You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.

nkjv@Matthew:5:14 @ "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.

nkjv@Matthew:5:18 @ For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled.

nkjv@Matthew:5:20 @ For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.

nkjv@Matthew:5:22 @ But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment. And whoever says to his brother, "Raca!' shall be in danger of the council. But whoever says, "You fool!' shall be in danger of hell fire.

nkjv@Matthew:5:25 @ Agree with your adversary quickly, while you are on the way with him, lest your adversary deliver you to the judge, the judge hand you over to the officer, and you be thrown into prison.

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

nkjv@Matthew:5:29 @ If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell.

nkjv@Matthew:5:30 @ And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell.

nkjv@Matthew:5:31 @ "Furthermore it has been said, "Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.'

nkjv@Matthew:5:32 @ But I say to you that whoever divorces his wife for any reason except sexual immorality causes her to commit adultery; and whoever marries a woman who is divorced commits adultery.

nkjv@Matthew:5:34 @ But I say to you, do not swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is God's throne;

nkjv@Matthew:5:35 @ nor by the earth, for it is His footstool; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.

nkjv@Matthew:5:37 @ But let your "Yes' be "Yes,' and your "No,' "No.' For whatever is more than these is from the evil one.

nkjv@Matthew:5:39 @ But I tell you not to resist an evil person. But whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also.

nkjv@Matthew:5:45 @ that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.

nkjv@Matthew:5:48 @ Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.

nkjv@Matthew:6:1 @ "Take heed that you do not do your charitable deeds before men, to be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward from your Father in heaven.

nkjv@Matthew:6:3 @ But when you do a charitable deed, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,

nkjv@Matthew:6:6 @ But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.

nkjv@Matthew:6:9 @ In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name.

nkjv@Matthew:6:10 @ Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven.

nkjv@Matthew:6:11 @ Give us this day our daily bread.

nkjv@Matthew:6:13 @ And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

nkjv@Matthew:6:16 @ "Moreover, when you fast, do not be like the hypocrites, with a sad countenance. For they disfigure their faces that they may appear to men to be fasting. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward.

nkjv@Matthew:6:18 @ so that you do not appear to men to be fasting, but to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.

nkjv@Matthew:6:21 @ For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

nkjv@Matthew:6:22 @ "The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light.

nkjv@Matthew:6:23 @ But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness!

nkjv@Matthew:6:24 @ "No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.

nkjv@Matthew:6:25 @ "Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?

nkjv@Matthew:6:27 @ Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?

nkjv@Matthew:6:29 @ and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

nkjv@Matthew:6:30 @ Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?

nkjv@Matthew:6:33 @ But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

nkjv@Matthew:6:34 @ Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

nkjv@Matthew:7:4 @ Or how can you say to your brother, "Let me remove the speck from your eye'; and look, a plank is in your own eye?

nkjv@Matthew:7:6 @ "Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces.

nkjv@Matthew:7:9 @ Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone?

nkjv@Matthew:7:10 @ Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent?

nkjv@Matthew:7:11 @ If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!

nkjv@Matthew:7:12 @ Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.

nkjv@Matthew:7:13 @ "Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it.

nkjv@Matthew:7:14 @ Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.

nkjv@Matthew:7:16 @ You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles?

nkjv@Matthew:7:19 @ Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

nkjv@Matthew:7:24 @ "Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock:

nkjv@Matthew:7:26 @ "But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand:

nkjv@Matthew:7:28 @ And so it was, when Jesus had ended these sayings, that the people were astonished at His teaching,

nkjv@Matthew:8:3 @ Then Jesus put out His hand and touched him, saying, "I am willing; be cleansed." Immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

nkjv@Matthew:8:6 @ saying, "Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, dreadfully tormented."

nkjv@Matthew:8:9 @ For I also am a man under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to this one, "Go,' and he goes; and to another, "Come,' and he comes; and to my servant, "Do this,' and he does it."

nkjv@Matthew:8:10 @ When Jesus heard it, He marveled, and said to those who followed, "Assuredly, I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel!

nkjv@Matthew:8:11 @ And I say to you that many will come from east and west, and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.

nkjv@Matthew:8:13 @ Then Jesus said to the centurion, "Go your way; and as you have believed, so let it be done for you." And his servant was healed that same hour.

nkjv@Matthew:8:14 @ Now when Jesus had come into Peter's house, He saw his wife's mother lying sick with a fever.

nkjv@Matthew:8:17 @ that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying: "He Himself took our infirmities And bore our sicknesses."

nkjv@Matthew:8:20 @ And Jesus said to him, "Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head."

nkjv@Matthew:8:21 @ Then another of His disciples said to Him, "Lord, let me first go and bury my father."

nkjv@Matthew:8:23 @ Now when He got into a boat, His disciples followed Him.

nkjv@Matthew:8:25 @ Then His disciples came to Him and awoke Him, saying, "Lord, save us! We are perishing!"

nkjv@Matthew:8:27 @ So the men marveled, saying, "Who can this be, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?"

nkjv@Matthew:8:32 @ And He said to them, "Go." So when they had come out, they went into the herd of swine. And suddenly the whole herd of swine ran violently down the steep place into the sea, and perished in the water.

nkjv@Matthew:9:1 @ So He got into a boat, crossed over, and came to His own city.

nkjv@Matthew:9:3 @ And at once some of the scribes said within themselves, "This Man blasphemes!"

nkjv@Matthew:9:5 @ For which is easier, to say, "Your sins are forgiven you,' or to say, "Arise and walk'?

nkjv@Matthew:9:6 @ But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins"--then He said to the paralytic, "Arise, take up your bed, and go to your house."

nkjv@Matthew:9:7 @ And he arose and departed to his house.

nkjv@Matthew:9:10 @ Now it happened, as Jesus sat at the table in the house, that behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and sat down with Him and His disciples.

nkjv@Matthew:9:11 @ And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to His disciples, "Why does your Teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?"

nkjv@Matthew:9:13 @ But go and learn what this means: "I desire mercy and not sacrifice.' For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance."

nkjv@Matthew:9:14 @ Then the disciples of John came to Him, saying, "Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but Your disciples do not fast?"

nkjv@Matthew:9:15 @ And Jesus said to them, "Can the friends of the bridegroom mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast.

nkjv@Matthew:9:16 @ No one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; for the patch pulls away from the garment, and the tear is made worse.

nkjv@Matthew:9:17 @ Nor do they put new wine into old wineskins, or else the wineskins break, the wine is spilled, and the wineskins are ruined. But they put new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved."

nkjv@Matthew:9:19 @ So Jesus arose and followed him, and so did His disciples.

nkjv@Matthew:9:20 @ And suddenly, a woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years came from behind and touched the hem of His garment.

nkjv@Matthew:9:21 @ For she said to herself, "If only I may touch His garment, I shall be made well."

nkjv@Matthew:9:23 @ When Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the flute players and the noisy crowd wailing,

nkjv@Matthew:9:24 @ He said to them, "Make room, for the girl is not dead, but sleeping." And they ridiculed Him.

nkjv@Matthew:9:26 @ And the report of this went out into all that land.

nkjv@Matthew:9:28 @ And when He had come into the house, the blind men came to Him. And Jesus said to them, "Do you believe that I am able to do this?" They said to Him, "Yes, Lord."

nkjv@Matthew:9:33 @ And when the demon was cast out, the mute spoke. And the multitudes marveled, saying, "It was never seen like this in Israel!"

nkjv@Matthew:9:34 @ But the Pharisees said, "He casts out demons by the ruler of the demons."

nkjv@Matthew:9:35 @ Then Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.

nkjv@Matthew:9:37 @ Then He said to His disciples, "The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few.

nkjv@Matthew:9:38 @ Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest."

nkjv@Matthew:10:1 @ And when He had called His twelve disciples to Him, He gave them power over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease.

nkjv@Matthew:10:2 @ Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;

nkjv@Matthew:10:4 @ Simon the Cananite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed Him.

nkjv@Matthew:10:6 @ But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

nkjv@Matthew:10:7 @ And as you go, preach, saying, "The kingdom of heaven is at hand.'

nkjv@Matthew:10:8 @ Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.

nkjv@Matthew:10:10 @ nor bag for your journey, nor two tunics, nor sandals, nor staffs; for a worker is worthy of his food.

nkjv@Matthew:10:11 @ "Now whatever city or town you enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and stay there till you go out.

nkjv@Matthew:10:13 @ If the household is worthy, let your peace come upon it. But if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you.

nkjv@Matthew:10:16 @ "Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.

nkjv@Matthew:10:20 @ for it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.

nkjv@Matthew:10:21 @ "Now brother will deliver up brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death.

nkjv@Matthew:10:23 @ When they persecute you in this city, flee to another. For assuredly, I say to you, you will not have gone through the cities of Israel before the Son of Man comes.

nkjv@Matthew:10:24 @ "A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master.

nkjv@Matthew:10:25 @ It is enough for a disciple that he be like his teacher, and a servant like his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more will they call those of his household!

nkjv@Matthew:10:26 @ Therefore do not fear them. For there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known.

nkjv@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 hell.

nkjv@Matthew:10:32 @ "Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven.

nkjv@Matthew:10:33 @ But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven.

nkjv@Matthew:10:35 @ For I have come to "set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law';

nkjv@Matthew:10:36 @ and "a man's enemies will be those of his own household.'

nkjv@Matthew:10:37 @ He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.

nkjv@Matthew:10:38 @ And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me.

nkjv@Matthew:10:39 @ He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it.

nkjv@Matthew:10:42 @ And whoever gives one of these little ones only a cup of cold water in the name of a disciple, assuredly, I say to you, he shall by no means lose his reward."

nkjv@Matthew:11:1 @ Now it came to pass, when Jesus finished commanding His twelve disciples, that He departed from there to teach and to preach in their cities.

nkjv@Matthew:11:2 @ And when John had heard in prison about the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples

nkjv@Matthew:11:5 @ The blind see and the lame walk; the lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear; the dead are raised up and the poor have the gospel preached to them.

nkjv@Matthew:11:6 @ And blessed is he who is not offended because of Me."

nkjv@Matthew:11:10 @ For this is he of whom it is written: "Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, Who will prepare Your way before You.'

nkjv@Matthew:11:11 @ "Assuredly, I say to you, among those born of women there has not risen one greater than John the Baptist; but he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

nkjv@Matthew:11:12 @ And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.

nkjv@Matthew:11:14 @ And if you are willing to receive it, he is Elijah who is to come.

nkjv@Matthew:11:16 @ "But to what shall I liken this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling to their companions,

nkjv@Matthew:11:19 @ The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, "Look, a glutton and a winebibber, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!' But wisdom is justified by her children."

nkjv@Matthew:11:20 @ Then He began to rebuke the cities in which most of His mighty works had been done, because they did not repent:

nkjv@Matthew:11:23 @ And you, Capernaum, who are exalted to heaven, will be brought down to Hades; for if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.

nkjv@Matthew:11:25 @ At that time Jesus answered and said, "I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and have revealed them to babes.

nkjv@Matthew:11:30 @ For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."

nkjv@Matthew:12:1 @ At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath. And His disciples were hungry, and began to pluck heads of grain and to eat.

nkjv@Matthew:12:2 @ And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to Him, "Look, Your disciples are doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath!"

nkjv@Matthew:12:6 @ Yet I say to you that in this place there is One greater than the temple.

nkjv@Matthew:12:7 @ But if you had known what this means, "I desire mercy and not sacrifice,' you would not have condemned the guiltless.

nkjv@Matthew:12:8 @ For the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath."

nkjv@Matthew:12:10 @ And behold, there was a man who had a withered hand. And they asked Him, saying, "Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?"--that they might accuse Him.

nkjv@Matthew:12:11 @ Then He said to them, "What man is there among you who has one sheep, and if it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will not lay hold of it and lift it out?

nkjv@Matthew:12:12 @ Of how much more value then is a man than a sheep? Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath."

nkjv@Matthew:12:14 @ Then the Pharisees went out and plotted against Him, how they might destroy Him.

nkjv@Matthew:12:17 @ that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying:

nkjv@Matthew:12:18 @ "Behold! My Servant whom I have chosen, My Beloved in whom My soul is well pleased! I will put My Spirit upon Him, And He will declare justice to the Gentiles.

nkjv@Matthew:12:19 @ He will not quarrel nor cry out, Nor will anyone hear His voice in the streets.

nkjv@Matthew:12:20 @ A bruised reed He will not break, And smoking flax He will not quench, Till He sends forth justice to victory;

nkjv@Matthew:12:21 @ And in His name Gentiles will trust."

nkjv@Matthew:12:23 @ And all the multitudes were amazed and said, "Could this be the Son of David?"

nkjv@Matthew:12:24 @ Now when the Pharisees heard it they said, "This fellow does not cast out demons except by Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons."

nkjv@Matthew:12:25 @ But Jesus knew their thoughts, and said to them: "Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand.

nkjv@Matthew:12:26 @ If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand?

nkjv@Matthew:12:29 @ Or how can one enter a strong man's house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man? And then he will plunder his house.

nkjv@Matthew:12:30 @ He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters abroad.

nkjv@Matthew:12:32 @ Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come.

nkjv@Matthew:12:38 @ Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered, saying, "Teacher, we want to see a sign from You."

nkjv@Matthew:12:40 @ For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

nkjv@Matthew:12:41 @ The men of Nineveh will rise up in the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and indeed a greater than Jonah is here.

nkjv@Matthew:12:42 @ The queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and indeed a greater than Solomon is here.

nkjv@Matthew:12:45 @ Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first. So shall it also be with this wicked generation."

nkjv@Matthew:12:46 @ While He was still talking to the multitudes, behold, His mother and brothers stood outside, seeking to speak with Him.

nkjv@Matthew:12:48 @ But He answered and said to the one who told Him, "Who is My mother and who are My brothers?"

nkjv@Matthew:12:49 @ And He stretched out His hand toward His disciples and said, "Here are My mother and My brothers!

nkjv@Matthew:12:50 @ For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother."

nkjv@Matthew:13:10 @ And the disciples came and said to Him, "Why do You speak to them in parables?"

nkjv@Matthew:13:14 @ And in them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says: "Hearing you will hear and shall not understand, And seeing you will see and not perceive;

nkjv@Matthew:13:15 @ For the hearts of this people have grown dull. Their ears are hard of hearing, And their eyes they have closed, Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn, So that I should heal them.'

nkjv@Matthew:13:19 @ When anyone hears the word of the kingdom, and does not understand it, then the wicked one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is he who received seed by the wayside.

nkjv@Matthew:13:20 @ But he who received the seed on stony places, this is he who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy;

nkjv@Matthew:13:21 @ yet he has no root in himself, but endures only for a while. For when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he stumbles.

nkjv@Matthew:13:22 @ Now he who received seed among the thorns is he who hears the word, and the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.

nkjv@Matthew:13:23 @ But he who received seed on the good ground is he who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and produces: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty."

nkjv@Matthew:13:24 @ Another parable He put forth to them, saying: "The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field;

nkjv@Matthew:13:25 @ but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way.

nkjv@Matthew:13:28 @ He said to them, "An enemy has done this.' The servants said to him, "Do you want us then to go and gather them up?'

nkjv@Matthew:13:31 @ Another parable He put forth to them, saying: "The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field,

nkjv@Matthew:13:32 @ which indeed is the least of all the seeds; but when it is grown it is greater than the herbs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and nest in its branches."

nkjv@Matthew:13:33 @ Another parable He spoke to them: "The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal till it was all leavened."

nkjv@Matthew:13:36 @ Then Jesus sent the multitude away and went into the house. And His disciples came to Him, saying, "Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field."

nkjv@Matthew:13:37 @ He answered and said to them: "He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man.

nkjv@Matthew:13:38 @ The field is the world, the good seeds are the sons of the kingdom, but the tares are the sons of the wicked one.

nkjv@Matthew:13:39 @ The enemy who sowed them is the devil, the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are the angels.

nkjv@Matthew:13:40 @ Therefore as the tares are gathered and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of this age.

nkjv@Matthew:13:41 @ The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness,

nkjv@Matthew:13:44 @ "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.

nkjv@Matthew:13:45 @ "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls,

nkjv@Matthew:13:47 @ "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a dragnet that was cast into the sea and gathered some of every kind,

nkjv@Matthew:13:52 @ Then He said to them, "Therefore every scribe instructed concerning the kingdom of heaven is like a householder who brings out of his treasure things new and old."

nkjv@Matthew:13:53 @ Now it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these parables, that He departed from there.

nkjv@Matthew:13:54 @ When He had come to His own country, He taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished and said, "Where did this Man get this wisdom and these mighty works?

nkjv@Matthew:13:55 @ Is this not the carpenter's son? Is not His mother called Mary? And His brothers James, Joses, Simon, and Judas?

nkjv@Matthew:13:56 @ And His sisters, are they not all with us? Where then did this Man get all these things?"

nkjv@Matthew:13:57 @ So they were offended at Him. But Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor except in his own country and in his own house."

nkjv@Matthew:14:2 @ and said to his servants, "This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead, and therefore these powers are at work in him."

nkjv@Matthew:14:3 @ For Herod had laid hold of John and bound him, and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife.

nkjv@Matthew:14:4 @ Because John had said to him, "It is not lawful for you to have her."

nkjv@Matthew:14:7 @ Therefore he promised with an oath to give her whatever she might ask.

nkjv@Matthew:14:8 @ So she, having been prompted by her mother, said, "Give me John the Baptist's head here on a platter."

nkjv@Matthew:14:10 @ So he sent and had John beheaded in prison.

nkjv@Matthew:14:11 @ And his head was brought on a platter and given to the girl, and she brought it to her mother.

nkjv@Matthew:14:12 @ Then his disciples came and took away the body and buried it, and went and told Jesus.

nkjv@Matthew:14:15 @ When it was evening, His disciples came to Him, saying, "This is a deserted place, and the hour is already late. Send the multitudes away, that they may go into the villages and buy themselves food."

nkjv@Matthew:14:17 @ And they said to Him, "We have here only five loaves and two fish."

nkjv@Matthew:14:19 @ Then He commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass. And He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke and gave the loaves to the disciples; and the disciples gave to the multitudes.

nkjv@Matthew:14:22 @ Immediately Jesus made His disciples get into the boat and go before Him to the other side, while He sent the multitudes away.

nkjv@Matthew:14:26 @ And when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, "It is a ghost!" And they cried out for fear.

nkjv@Matthew:14:27 @ But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, "Be of good cheer! It is I; do not be afraid."

nkjv@Matthew:14:28 @ And Peter answered Him and said, "Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water."

nkjv@Matthew:14:30 @ But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, "Lord, save me!"

nkjv@Matthew:14:31 @ And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said to him, "O you of little faith, why did you doubt?"

nkjv@Matthew:14:36 @ and begged Him that they might only touch the hem of His garment. And as many as touched it were made perfectly well.

nkjv@Matthew:15:1 @ Then the scribes and Pharisees who were from Jerusalem came to Jesus, saying,

nkjv@Matthew:15:2 @ "Why do Your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread."

nkjv@Matthew:15:5 @ But you say, "Whoever says to his father or mother, "Whatever profit you might have received from me is a gift to God"--

nkjv@Matthew:15:6 @ then he need not honor his father or mother.' Thus you have made the commandment of God of no effect by your tradition.

nkjv@Matthew:15:7 @ Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy about you, saying:

nkjv@Matthew:15:8 @ "These people draw near to Me with their mouth, And honor Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me.

nkjv@Matthew:15:11 @ Not what goes into the mouth defiles a man; but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man."

nkjv@Matthew:15:12 @ Then His disciples came and said to Him, "Do You know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this saying?"

nkjv@Matthew:15:15 @ Then Peter answered and said to Him, "Explain this parable to us."

nkjv@Matthew:15:17 @ Do you not yet understand that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and is eliminated?

nkjv@Matthew:15:22 @ And behold, a woman of Canaan came from that region and cried out to Him, saying, "Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David! My daughter is severely demon-possessed."

nkjv@Matthew:15:23 @ But He answered her not a word. And His disciples came and urged Him, saying, "Send her away, for she cries out after us."

nkjv@Matthew:15:24 @ But He answered and said, "I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel."

nkjv@Matthew:15:26 @ But He answered and said, "It is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to the little dogs."

nkjv@Matthew:15:28 @ Then Jesus answered and said to her, "O woman, great is your faith! Let it be to you as you desire." And her daughter was healed from that very hour.

nkjv@Matthew:15:31 @ So the multitude marveled when they saw the mute speaking, the maimed made whole, the lame walking, and the blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel.

nkjv@Matthew:15:32 @ Now Jesus called His disciples to Himself and said, "I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now continued with Me three days and have nothing to eat. And I do not want to send them away hungry, lest they faint on the way."

nkjv@Matthew:15:33 @ Then His disciples said to Him, "Where could we get enough bread in the wilderness to fill such a great multitude?"

nkjv@Matthew:15:34 @ Jesus said to them, "How many loaves do you have?" And they said, "Seven, and a few little fish."

nkjv@Matthew:15:36 @ And He took the seven loaves and the fish and gave thanks, broke them and gave them to His disciples; and the disciples gave to the multitude.

nkjv@Matthew:16:1 @ Then the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and testing Him asked that He would show them a sign from heaven.

nkjv@Matthew:16:2 @ He answered and said to them, "When it is evening you say, "It will be fair weather, for the sky is red';

nkjv@Matthew:16:3 @ and in the morning, "It will be foul weather today, for the sky is red and threatening.' Hypocrites! You know how to discern the face of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the times.

nkjv@Matthew:16:5 @ Now when His disciples had come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.

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

nkjv@Matthew:16:7 @ And they reasoned among themselves, saying, "It is because we have taken no bread."

nkjv@Matthew:16:11 @ How is it you do not understand that I did not speak to you concerning bread?--but to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees."

nkjv@Matthew:16:12 @ Then they understood that He did not tell them to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

nkjv@Matthew:16:13 @ When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, "Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?"

nkjv@Matthew:16:14 @ So they said, "Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets."

nkjv@Matthew:16:16 @ Simon Peter answered and said, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."

nkjv@Matthew:16:17 @ Jesus answered and said to him, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven.

nkjv@Matthew:16:18 @ And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.

nkjv@Matthew:16:20 @ Then He commanded His disciples that they should tell no one that He was Jesus the Christ.

nkjv@Matthew:16:21 @ From that time Jesus began to show to His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised the third day.

nkjv@Matthew:16:22 @ Then Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him, saying, "Far be it from You, Lord; this shall not happen to You!"

nkjv@Matthew:16:24 @ Then Jesus said to His disciples, "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.

nkjv@Matthew:16:25 @ For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.

nkjv@Matthew:16:26 @ For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?

nkjv@Matthew:16:27 @ For the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will reward each according to his works.

nkjv@Matthew:16:28 @ Assuredly, I say to you, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom."

nkjv@Matthew:17:1 @ Now after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, led them up on a high mountain by themselves;

nkjv@Matthew:17:2 @ and He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light.

nkjv@Matthew:17:4 @ Then Peter answered and said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good for us to be here; if You wish, let us make here three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

nkjv@Matthew:17:5 @ While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them; and suddenly a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear Him!"

nkjv@Matthew:17:6 @ And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces and were greatly afraid.

nkjv@Matthew:17:7 @ But Jesus came and touched them and said, "Arise, and do not be afraid."

nkjv@Matthew:17:9 @ Now as they came down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, "Tell the vision to no one until the Son of Man is risen from the dead."

nkjv@Matthew:17:10 @ And His disciples asked Him, saying, "Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"

nkjv@Matthew:17:11 @ Jesus answered and said to them, "Indeed, Elijah is coming first and will restore all things.

nkjv@Matthew:17:12 @ But I say to you that Elijah has come already, and they did not know him but did to him whatever they wished. Likewise the Son of Man is also about to suffer at their hands."

nkjv@Matthew:17:13 @ Then the disciples understood that He spoke to them of John the Baptist.

nkjv@Matthew:17:15 @ "Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is an epileptic and suffers severely; for he often falls into the fire and often into the water.

nkjv@Matthew:17:16 @ So I brought him to Your disciples, but they could not cure him."

nkjv@Matthew:17:19 @ Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, "Why could we not cast it out?"

nkjv@Matthew:17:20 @ So Jesus said to them, "Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, "Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.

nkjv@Matthew:17:21 @ However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting."

nkjv@Matthew:17:22 @ Now while they were staying in Galilee, Jesus said to them, "The Son of Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men,

nkjv@Matthew:17:23 @ and they will kill Him, and the third day He will be raised up." And they were exceedingly sorrowful.

nkjv@Matthew:17:27 @ Nevertheless, lest we offend them, go to the sea, cast in a hook, and take the fish that comes up first. And when you have opened its mouth, you will find a piece of money; take that and give it to them for Me and you."

nkjv@Matthew:18:1 @ At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, "Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?"

nkjv@Matthew:18:4 @ Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

nkjv@Matthew:18:5 @ Whoever receives one little child like this in My name receives Me.

nkjv@Matthew:18:6 @ "Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

nkjv@Matthew:18:8 @ "If your hand or foot causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life lame or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet, to be cast into the everlasting fire.

nkjv@Matthew:18:9 @ And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into hell fire.

nkjv@Matthew:18:10 @ "Take heed that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that in heaven their angels always see the face of My Father who is in heaven.

nkjv@Matthew:18:12 @ "What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine and go to the mountains to seek the one that is straying?

nkjv@Matthew:18:14 @ Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.

nkjv@Matthew:18:15 @ "Moreover if your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he hears you, you have gained your brother.

nkjv@Matthew:18:16 @ But if he will not hear, take with you one or two more, that "by the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.'

nkjv@Matthew:18:23 @ Therefore the kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants.

nkjv@Matthew:18:25 @ But as he was not able to pay, his master commanded that he be sold, with his wife and children and all that he had, and that payment be made.

nkjv@Matthew:18:28 @ "But that servant went out and found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii; and he laid hands on him and took him by the throat, saying, "Pay me what you owe!'

nkjv@Matthew:18:29 @ So his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him, saying, "Have patience with me, and I will pay you all.'

nkjv@Matthew:18:30 @ And he would not, but went and threw him into prison till he should pay the debt.

nkjv@Matthew:18:31 @ So when his fellow servants saw what had been done, they were very grieved, and came and told their master all that had been done.

nkjv@Matthew:18:32 @ Then his master, after he had called him, said to him, "You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me.

nkjv@Matthew:18:34 @ And his master was angry, and delivered him to the torturers until he should pay all that was due to him.

nkjv@Matthew:18:35 @ "So My heavenly Father also will do to you if each of you, from his heart, does not forgive his brother his trespasses."

nkjv@Matthew:19:1 @ Now it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these sayings, that He departed from Galilee and came to the region of Judea beyond the Jordan.

nkjv@Matthew:19:3 @ The Pharisees also came to Him, testing Him, and saying to Him, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for just any reason?"

nkjv@Matthew:19:5 @ and said, "For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh'?

nkjv@Matthew:19:9 @ And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and whoever marries her who is divorced commits adultery."

nkjv@Matthew:19:10 @ His disciples said to Him, "If such is the case of the man with his wife, it is better not to marry."

nkjv@Matthew:19:11 @ But He said to them, "All cannot accept this saying, but only those to whom it has been given:

nkjv@Matthew:19:12 @ For there are eunuchs who were born thus from their mother's womb, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He who is able to accept it, let him accept it."

nkjv@Matthew:19:13 @ Then little children were brought to Him that He might put His hands on them and pray, but the disciples rebuked them.

nkjv@Matthew:19:14 @ But Jesus said, "Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven."

nkjv@Matthew:19:15 @ And He laid His hands on them and departed from there.

nkjv@Matthew:19:17 @ So He said to him, "Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments."

nkjv@Matthew:19:23 @ Then Jesus said to His disciples, "Assuredly, I say to you that it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.

nkjv@Matthew:19:24 @ And again I say to 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."

nkjv@Matthew:19:25 @ When His disciples heard it, they were greatly astonished, saying, "Who then can be saved?"

nkjv@Matthew:19:26 @ But Jesus looked at them and said to them, "With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."

nkjv@Matthew:19:28 @ So Jesus said to them, "Assuredly I say to you, that in the regeneration, when the Son of Man sits on the throne of His glory, you who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

nkjv@Matthew:19:29 @ And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My name's sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and inherit eternal life.

nkjv@Matthew:20:1 @ "For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard.

nkjv@Matthew:20:2 @ Now when he had agreed with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard.

nkjv@Matthew:20:4 @ and said to them, "You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.' So they went.

nkjv@Matthew:20:5 @ Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did likewise.

nkjv@Matthew:20:7 @ They said to him, "Because no one hired us.' He said to them, "You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right you will receive.'

nkjv@Matthew:20:8 @ "So when evening had come, the owner of the vineyard said to his steward, "Call the laborers and give them their wages, beginning with the last to the first.'

nkjv@Matthew:20:10 @ But when the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise received each a denarius.

nkjv@Matthew:20:14 @ Take what is yours and go your way. I wish to give to this last man the same as to you.

nkjv@Matthew:20:15 @ Is it not lawful for me to do what I wish with my own things? Or is your eye evil because I am good?'

nkjv@Matthew:20:17 @ Now Jesus, going up to Jerusalem, took the twelve disciples aside on the road and said to them,

nkjv@Matthew:20:19 @ and deliver Him to the Gentiles to mock and to scourge and to crucify. And the third day He will rise again."

nkjv@Matthew:20:21 @ And He said to her, "What do you wish?" She said to Him, "Grant that these two sons of mine may sit, one on Your right hand and the other on the left, in Your kingdom."

nkjv@Matthew:20:22 @ But Jesus answered and said, "You do not know what you ask. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?" They said to Him, "We are able."

nkjv@Matthew:20:23 @ So He said to them, "You will indeed drink My cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with; but to sit on My right hand and on My left is not Mine to give, but it is for those for whom it is prepared by My Father."

nkjv@Matthew:20:24 @ And when the ten heard it, they were greatly displeased with the two brothers.

nkjv@Matthew:20:25 @ But Jesus called them to Himself and said, "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those who are great exercise authority over them.

nkjv@Matthew:20:28 @ just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many."

nkjv@Matthew:21:1 @ Now when they drew near Jerusalem, and came to Bethphage, at the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,

nkjv@Matthew:21:4 @ All this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying:

nkjv@Matthew:21:5 @ "Tell the daughter of Zion, "Behold, your King is coming to you, Lowly, and sitting on a donkey, A colt, the foal of a donkey."'

nkjv@Matthew:21:6 @ So the disciples went and did as Jesus commanded them.

nkjv@Matthew:21:11 @ So the multitudes said, "This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth of Galilee."

nkjv@Matthew:21:13 @ And He said to them, "It is written, "My house shall be called a house of prayer,' but you have made it a "den of thieves."'

nkjv@Matthew:21:16 @ and said to Him, "Do You hear what these are saying?" And Jesus said to them, "Yes. Have you never read, "Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants You have perfected praise'?"

nkjv@Matthew:21:20 @ And when the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, "How did the fig tree wither away so soon?"

nkjv@Matthew:21:21 @ So Jesus answered and said to them, "Assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but also if you say to this mountain, "Be removed and be cast into the sea,' it will be done.

nkjv@Matthew:21:23 @ Now when He came into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people confronted Him as He was teaching, and said, "By what authority are You doing these things? And who gave You this authority?"

nkjv@Matthew:21:24 @ But Jesus answered and said to them, "I also will ask you one thing, which if you tell Me, I likewise will tell you by what authority I do these things:

nkjv@Matthew:21:25 @ The baptism of John--where was it from? From heaven or from men?" And they reasoned among themselves, saying, "If we say, "From heaven,' He will say to us, "Why then did you not believe him?'

nkjv@Matthew:21:30 @ Then he came to the second and said likewise. And he answered and said, "I go, sir,' but he did not go.

nkjv@Matthew:21:31 @ Which of the two did the will of his father?" They said to Him, "The first." Jesus said to them, "Assuredly, I say to you that tax collectors and harlots enter the kingdom of God before you.

nkjv@Matthew:21:34 @ Now when vintage-time drew near, he sent his servants to the vinedressers, that they might receive its fruit.

nkjv@Matthew:21:35 @ And the vinedressers took his servants, beat one, killed one, and stoned another.

nkjv@Matthew:21:36 @ Again he sent other servants, more than the first, and they did likewise to them.

nkjv@Matthew:21:37 @ Then last of all he sent his son to them, saying, "They will respect my son.'

nkjv@Matthew:21:38 @ But when the vinedressers saw the son, they said among themselves, "This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and seize his inheritance.'

nkjv@Matthew:21:41 @ They said to Him, "He will destroy those wicked men miserably, and lease his vineyard to other vinedressers who will render to him the fruits in their seasons."

nkjv@Matthew:21:42 @ Jesus said to them, "Have you never read in the Scriptures: "The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone. This was the LORD's doing, And it is marvelous in our eyes'?

nkjv@Matthew:21:44 @ And whoever falls on this stone will be broken; but on whomever it falls, it will grind him to powder."

nkjv@Matthew:21:45 @ Now when the chief priests and Pharisees heard His parables, they perceived that He was speaking of them.

nkjv@Matthew:22:2 @ "The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who arranged a marriage for his son,

nkjv@Matthew:22:3 @ and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding; and they were not willing to come.

nkjv@Matthew:22:5 @ But they made light of it and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his business.

nkjv@Matthew:22:6 @ And the rest seized his servants, treated them spitefully, and killed them.

nkjv@Matthew:22:7 @ But when the king heard about it, he was furious. And he sent out his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.

nkjv@Matthew:22:8 @ Then he said to his servants, "The wedding is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy.

nkjv@Matthew:22:15 @ Then the Pharisees went and plotted how they might entangle Him in His talk.

nkjv@Matthew:22:16 @ And they sent to Him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, "Teacher, we know that You are true, and teach the way of God in truth; nor do You care about anyone, for You do not regard the person of men.

nkjv@Matthew:22:17 @ Tell us, therefore, what do You think? Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?"

nkjv@Matthew:22:20 @ And He said to them, "Whose image and inscription is this?"

nkjv@Matthew:22:23 @ The same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Him and asked Him,

nkjv@Matthew:22:24 @ saying: "Teacher, Moses said that if a man dies, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife and raise up offspring for his brother.

nkjv@Matthew:22:25 @ Now there were with us seven brothers. The first died after he had married, and having no offspring, left his wife to his brother.

nkjv@Matthew:22:26 @ Likewise the second also, and the third, even to the seventh.

nkjv@Matthew:22:29 @ Jesus answered and said to them, "You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God.

nkjv@Matthew:22:32 @ "I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living."

nkjv@Matthew:22:33 @ And when the multitudes heard this, they were astonished at His teaching.

nkjv@Matthew:22:34 @ But when the Pharisees heard that He had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together.

nkjv@Matthew:22:36 @ "Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?"

nkjv@Matthew:22:38 @ This is the first and great commandment.

nkjv@Matthew:22:39 @ And the second is like it: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'

nkjv@Matthew:22:41 @ While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,

nkjv@Matthew:22:42 @ saying, "What do you think about the Christ? Whose Son is He?" They said to Him, "The Son of David."

nkjv@Matthew:22:45 @ If David then calls Him "Lord,' how is He his Son?"

nkjv@Matthew:28:9 @ And as they went to tell His disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, "Rejoice!" So they came and held Him by the feet and worshiped Him.

nkjv@Matthew:28:13 @ saying, "Tell them, "His disciples came at night and stole Him away while we slept.'

nkjv@Matthew:28:14 @ And if this comes to the governor's ears, we will appease him and make you secure."

nkjv@Matthew:28:15 @ So they took the money and did as they were instructed; and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.

nkjv@Matthew:28:16 @ Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had appointed for them.

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

nkjv@Mark:1:1 @ The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

nkjv@Mark:1:2 @ As it is written in the Prophets: "Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, Who will prepare Your way before You."

nkjv@Mark:1:3 @ "The voice of one crying in the wilderness: "Prepare the way of the LORD; Make His paths straight."'

nkjv@Mark:1:4 @ John came baptizing in the wilderness and preaching a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.

nkjv@Mark:1:6 @ Now John was clothed with camel's hair and with a leather belt around his waist, and he ate locusts and wild honey.

nkjv@Mark:1:7 @ And he preached, saying, "There comes One after me who is mightier than I, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to stoop down and loose.

nkjv@Mark:1:13 @ And He was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan, and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered to Him.

nkjv@Mark:1:14 @ Now after John was put in prison, Jesus came to Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,

nkjv@Mark:1:15 @ and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel."

nkjv@Mark:1:16 @ And as He walked by the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.

nkjv@Mark:1:17 @ Then Jesus said to them, "Follow Me, and I will make you become fishers of men."

nkjv@Mark:1:19 @ When He had gone a little farther from there, He saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the boat mending their nets.

nkjv@Mark:1:22 @ And they were astonished at His teaching, for He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

nkjv@Mark:1:27 @ Then they were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, "What is this? What new doctrine is this? For with authority He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him."

nkjv@Mark:1:28 @ And immediately His fame spread throughout all the region around Galilee.

nkjv@Mark:1:34 @ Then He healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons; and He did not allow the demons to speak, because they knew Him.

nkjv@Mark:1:35 @ Now in the morning, having risen a long while before daylight, He went out and departed to a solitary place; and there He prayed.

nkjv@Mark:1:37 @ When they found Him, they said to Him, "Everyone is looking for You."

nkjv@Mark:1:38 @ But He said to them, "Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also, because for this purpose I have come forth."

nkjv@Mark:1:41 @ Then Jesus, moved with compassion, stretched out His hand and touched him, and said to him, "I am willing; be cleansed."

nkjv@Mark:2:7 @ "Why does this Man speak blasphemies like this? Who can forgive sins but God alone?"

nkjv@Mark:2:8 @ But immediately, when Jesus perceived in His spirit that they reasoned thus within themselves, He said to them, "Why do you reason about these things in your hearts?

nkjv@Mark:2:9 @ Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, "Your sins are forgiven you,' or to say, "Arise, take up your bed and walk'?

nkjv@Mark:2:11 @ "I say to you, arise, take up your bed, and go to your house."

nkjv@Mark:2:12 @ Immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went out in the presence of them all, so that all were amazed and glorified God, saying, "We never saw anything like this!"

nkjv@Mark:2:15 @ Now it happened, as He was dining in Levi's house, that many tax collectors and sinners also sat together with Jesus and His disciples; for there were many, and they followed Him.

nkjv@Mark:2:16 @ And when the scribes and Pharisees saw Him eating with the tax collectors and sinners, they said to His disciples, "How is it that He eats and drinks with tax collectors and sinners?"

nkjv@Mark:2:18 @ The disciples of John and of the Pharisees were fasting. Then they came and said to Him, "Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast, but Your disciples do not fast?"

nkjv@Mark:2:19 @ And Jesus said to them, "Can the friends of the bridegroom fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them they cannot fast.

nkjv@Mark:2:21 @ No one sews a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; or else the new piece pulls away from the old, and the tear is made worse.

nkjv@Mark:2:22 @ And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; or else the new wine bursts the wineskins, the wine is spilled, and the wineskins are ruined. But new wine must be put into new wineskins."

nkjv@Mark:2:23 @ Now it happened that He went through the grainfields on the Sabbath; and as they went His disciples began to pluck the heads of grain.

nkjv@Mark:2:24 @ And the Pharisees said to Him, "Look, why do they do what is not lawful on the Sabbath?"

nkjv@Mark:2:26 @ how he went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar the high priest, and ate the showbread, which is not lawful to eat except for the priests, and also gave some to those who were with him?"

nkjv@Mark:2:28 @ Therefore the Son of Man is also Lord of the Sabbath."

nkjv@Mark:3:4 @ Then He said to them, "Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?" But they kept silent.

nkjv@Mark:3:5 @ And when He had looked around at them with anger, being grieved by the hardness of their hearts, He said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." And he stretched it out, and his hand was restored as whole as the other.

nkjv@Mark:3:6 @ Then the Pharisees went out and immediately plotted with the Herodians against Him, how they might destroy Him.

nkjv@Mark:3:7 @ But Jesus withdrew with His disciples to the sea. And a great multitude from Galilee followed Him, and from Judea

nkjv@Mark:3:9 @ So He told His disciples that a small boat should be kept ready for Him because of the multitude, lest they should crush Him.

nkjv@Mark:3:17 @ James the son of Zebedee and John the brother of James, to whom He gave the name Boanerges, that is, "Sons of Thunder";

nkjv@Mark:3:19 @ and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed Him. And they went into a house.

nkjv@Mark:3:21 @ But when His own people heard about this, they went out to lay hold of Him, for they said, "He is out of His mind."

nkjv@Mark:3:24 @ If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.

nkjv@Mark:3:25 @ And if a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.

nkjv@Mark:3:26 @ And if Satan has risen up against himself, and is divided, he cannot stand, but has an end.

nkjv@Mark:3:27 @ No one can enter a strong man's house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man. And then he will plunder his house.

nkjv@Mark:3:29 @ but he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is subject to eternal condemnation"--

nkjv@Mark:3:31 @ Then His brothers and His mother came, and standing outside they sent to Him, calling Him.

nkjv@Mark:3:33 @ But He answered them, saying, "Who is My mother, or My brothers?"

nkjv@Mark:3:35 @ For whoever does the will of God is My brother and My sister and mother."

nkjv@Mark:4:2 @ Then He taught them many things by parables, and said to them in His teaching:

nkjv@Mark:4:3 @ "Listen! Behold, a sower went out to sow.

nkjv@Mark:4:13 @ And He said to them, "Do you not understand this parable? How then will you understand all the parables?

nkjv@Mark:4:15 @ And these are the ones by the wayside where the word is sown. When they hear, Satan comes immediately and takes away the word that was sown in their hearts.

nkjv@Mark:4:16 @ These likewise are the ones sown on stony ground who, when they hear the word, immediately receive it with gladness;

nkjv@Mark:4:17 @ and they have no root in themselves, and so endure only for a time. Afterward, when tribulation or persecution arises for the word's sake, immediately they stumble.

nkjv@Mark:4:19 @ and the cares of this world, the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires for other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.

nkjv@Mark:4:21 @ Also He said to them, "Is a lamp brought to be put under a basket or under a bed? Is it not to be set on a lampstand?

nkjv@Mark:4:22 @ For there is nothing hidden which will not be revealed, nor has anything been kept secret but that it should come to light.

nkjv@Mark:4:26 @ And He said, "The kingdom of God is as if a man should scatter seed on the ground,

nkjv@Mark:4:27 @ and should sleep by night and rise by day, and the seed should sprout and grow, he himself does not know how.

nkjv@Mark:4:31 @ It is like a mustard seed which, when it is sown on the ground, is smaller than all the seeds on earth;

nkjv@Mark:4:32 @ but when it is sown, it grows up and becomes greater than all herbs, and shoots out large branches, so that the birds of the air may nest under its shade."

nkjv@Mark:4:34 @ But without a parable He did not speak to them. And when they were alone, He explained all things to His disciples.

nkjv@Mark:4:38 @ But He was in the stern, asleep on a pillow. And they awoke Him and said to Him, "Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?"

nkjv@Mark:4:40 @ But He said to them, "Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith?"

nkjv@Mark:4:41 @ And they feared exceedingly, and said to one another, "Who can this be, that even the wind and the sea obey Him!"

nkjv@Mark:5:3 @ who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no one could bind him, not even with chains,

nkjv@Mark:5:9 @ Then He asked him, "What is your name?" And he answered, saying, "My name is Legion; for we are many."

nkjv@Mark:5:13 @ And at once Jesus gave them permission. Then the unclean spirits went out and entered the swine (there were about two thousand); and the herd ran violently down the steep place into the sea, and drowned in the sea.

nkjv@Mark:5:15 @ Then they came to Jesus, and saw the one who had been demon-possessed and had the legion, sitting and clothed and in his right mind. And they were afraid.

nkjv@Mark:5:20 @ And he departed and began to proclaim in Decapolis all that Jesus had done for him; and all marveled.

nkjv@Mark:5:22 @ And behold, one of the rulers of the synagogue came, Jairus by name. And when he saw Him, he fell at His feet

nkjv@Mark:5:27 @ When she heard about Jesus, she came behind Him in the crowd and touched His garment.

nkjv@Mark:5:28 @ For she said, "If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well."

nkjv@Mark:5:31 @ But His disciples said to Him, "You see the multitude thronging You, and You say, "Who touched Me?"'

nkjv@Mark:5:32 @ And He looked around to see her who had done this thing.

nkjv@Mark:5:35 @ While He was still speaking, some came from the ruler of the synagogue's house who said, "Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the Teacher any further?"

nkjv@Mark:5:39 @ When He came in, He said to them, "Why make this commotion and weep? The child is not dead, but sleeping."

nkjv@Mark:5:41 @ Then He took the child by the hand, and said to her, "Talitha, cumi," which is translated, "Little girl, I say to you, arise."

nkjv@Mark:6:1 @ Then He went out from there and came to His own country, and His disciples followed Him.

nkjv@Mark:6:2 @ And when the Sabbath had come, He began to teach in the synagogue. And many hearing Him were astonished, saying, "Where did this Man get these things? And what wisdom is this which is given to Him, that such mighty works are performed by His hands!

nkjv@Mark:6:3 @ Is this not the carpenter, the Son of Mary, and brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? And are not His sisters here with us?" So they were offended at Him.

nkjv@Mark:6:4 @ But Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor except in his own country, among his own relatives, and in his own house."

nkjv@Mark:6:5 @ Now He could do no mighty work there, except that He laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them.

nkjv@Mark:6:14 @ Now King Herod heard of Him, for His name had become well known. And he said, "John the Baptist is risen from the dead, and therefore these powers are at work in him."

nkjv@Mark:6:15 @ Others said, "It is Elijah." And others said, "It is the Prophet, or like one of the prophets."

nkjv@Mark:6:16 @ But when Herod heard, he said, "This is John, whom I beheaded; he has been raised from the dead!"

nkjv@Mark:6:17 @ For Herod himself had sent and laid hold of John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife; for he had married her.

nkjv@Mark:6:18 @ Because John had said to Herod, "It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife."

nkjv@Mark:6:21 @ Then an opportune day came when Herod on his birthday gave a feast for his nobles, the high officers, and the chief men of Galilee.

nkjv@Mark:6:24 @ So she went out and said to her mother, "What shall I ask?" And she said, "The head of John the Baptist!"

nkjv@Mark:6:25 @ Immediately she came in with haste to the king and asked, saying, "I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter."

nkjv@Mark:6:27 @ Immediately the king sent an executioner and commanded his head to be brought. And he went and beheaded him in prison,

nkjv@Mark:6:28 @ brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the girl; and the girl gave it to her mother.

nkjv@Mark:6:29 @ When his disciples heard of it, they came and took away his corpse and laid it in a tomb.

nkjv@Mark:6:35 @ When the day was now far spent, His disciples came to Him and said, "This is a deserted place, and already the hour is late.

nkjv@Mark:6:38 @ But He said to them, "How many loaves do you have? Go and see." And when they found out they said, "Five, and two fish."

nkjv@Mark:6:41 @ And when He had taken the five loaves and the two fish, He looked up to heaven, blessed and broke the loaves, and gave them to His disciples to set before them; and the two fish He divided among them all.

nkjv@Mark:6:43 @ And they took up twelve baskets full of fragments and of the fish.

nkjv@Mark:6:45 @ Immediately He made His disciples get into the boat and go before Him to the other side, to Bethsaida, while He sent the multitude away.

nkjv@Mark:6:50 @ for they all saw Him and were troubled. But immediately He talked with them and said to them, "Be of good cheer! It is I; do not be afraid."

nkjv@Mark:6:56 @ Wherever He entered, into villages, cities, or the country, they laid the sick in the marketplaces, and begged Him that they might just touch the hem of His garment. And as many as touched Him were made well.

nkjv@Mark:7:1 @ Then the Pharisees and some of the scribes came together to Him, having come from Jerusalem.

nkjv@Mark:7:2 @ Now when they saw some of His disciples eat bread with defiled, that is, with unwashed hands, they found fault.

nkjv@Mark:7:3 @ For the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they wash their hands in a special way, holding the tradition of the elders.

nkjv@Mark:7:5 @ Then the Pharisees and scribes asked Him, "Why do Your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashed hands?"

nkjv@Mark:7:6 @ He answered and said to them, "Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written: "This people honors Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me.

nkjv@Mark:7:11 @ But you say, "If a man says to his father or mother, "Whatever profit you might have received from me is Corban"--' (that is, a gift to God),

nkjv@Mark:7:12 @ then you no longer let him do anything for his father or his mother,

nkjv@Mark:7:15 @ There is nothing that enters a man from outside which can defile him; but the things which come out of him, those are the things that defile a man.

nkjv@Mark:7:17 @ When He had entered a house away from the crowd, His disciples asked Him concerning the parable.

nkjv@Mark:7:19 @ because it does not enter his heart but his stomach, and is eliminated, thus purifying all foods?"

nkjv@Mark:7:22 @ thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lewdness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness.

nkjv@Mark:7:25 @ For a woman whose young daughter had an unclean spirit heard about Him, and she came and fell at His feet.

nkjv@Mark:7:27 @ But Jesus said to her, "Let the children be filled first, for it is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to the little dogs."

nkjv@Mark:7:29 @ Then He said to her, "For this saying go your way; the demon has gone out of your daughter."

nkjv@Mark:7:31 @ Again, departing from the region of Tyre and Sidon, He came through the midst of the region of Decapolis to the Sea of Galilee.

nkjv@Mark:7:32 @ Then they brought to Him one who was deaf and had an impediment in his speech, and they begged Him to put His hand on him.

nkjv@Mark:7:33 @ And He took him aside from the multitude, and put His fingers in his ears, and He spat and touched his tongue.

nkjv@Mark:7:34 @ Then, looking up to heaven, He sighed, and said to him, "Ephphatha," that is, "Be opened."

nkjv@Mark:7:35 @ Immediately his ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was loosed, and he spoke plainly.

nkjv@Mark:7:37 @ And they were astonished beyond measure, saying, "He has done all things well. He makes both the deaf to hear and the mute to speak."

nkjv@Mark:8:1 @ In those days, the multitude being very great and having nothing to eat, Jesus called His disciples to Him and said to them,

nkjv@Mark:8:4 @ Then His disciples answered Him, "How can one satisfy these people with bread here in the wilderness?"

nkjv@Mark:8:6 @ So He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground. And He took the seven loaves and gave thanks, broke them and gave them to His disciples to set before them; and they set them before the multitude.

nkjv@Mark:8:7 @ They also had a few small fish; and having blessed them, He said to set them also before them.

nkjv@Mark:8:10 @ immediately got into the boat with His disciples, and came to the region of Dalmanutha.

nkjv@Mark:8:11 @ Then the Pharisees came out and began to dispute with Him, seeking from Him a sign from heaven, testing Him.

nkjv@Mark:8:12 @ But He sighed deeply in His spirit, and said, "Why does this generation seek a sign? Assuredly, I say to you, no sign shall be given to this generation."

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

nkjv@Mark:8:15 @ Then He charged them, saying, "Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod."

nkjv@Mark:8:16 @ And they reasoned among themselves, saying, "It is because we have no bread."

nkjv@Mark:8:17 @ But Jesus, being aware of it, said to them, "Why do you reason because you have no bread? Do you not yet perceive nor understand? Is your heart still hardened?

nkjv@Mark:8:21 @ So He said to them, "How is it you do not understand?"

nkjv@Mark:8:23 @ So He took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the town. And when He had spit on his eyes and put His hands on him, He asked him if he saw anything.

nkjv@Mark:8:25 @ Then He put His hands on his eyes again and made him look up. And he was restored and saw everyone clearly.

nkjv@Mark:8:26 @ Then He sent him away to his house, saying, "Neither go into the town, nor tell anyone in the town."

nkjv@Mark:8:27 @ Now Jesus and His disciples went out to the towns of Caesarea Philippi; and on the road He asked His disciples, saying to them, "Who do men say that I am?"

nkjv@Mark:8:28 @ So they answered, "John the Baptist; but some say, Elijah; and others, one of the prophets."

nkjv@Mark:8:29 @ He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" Peter answered and said to Him, "You are the Christ."

nkjv@Mark:8:31 @ And He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.

nkjv@Mark:8:32 @ He spoke this word openly. Then Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him.

nkjv@Mark:8:33 @ But when He had turned around and looked at His disciples, He rebuked Peter, saying, "Get behind Me, Satan! For you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men."

nkjv@Mark:8:34 @ When He had called the people to Himself, with His disciples also, He said to them, "Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.

nkjv@Mark:8:35 @ For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel's will save it.

nkjv@Mark:8:36 @ For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?

nkjv@Mark:8:37 @ Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?

nkjv@Mark:8:38 @ For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels."

nkjv@Mark:9:3 @ His clothes became shining, exceedingly white, like snow, such as no launderer on earth can whiten them.

nkjv@Mark:9:5 @ Then Peter answered and said to Jesus, "Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah"--

nkjv@Mark:9:7 @ And a cloud came and overshadowed them; and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is My beloved Son. Hear Him!"

nkjv@Mark:9:9 @ Now as they came down from the mountain, He commanded them that they should tell no one the things they had seen, till the Son of Man had risen from the dead.

nkjv@Mark:9:10 @ So they kept this word to themselves, questioning what the rising from the dead meant.

nkjv@Mark:9:12 @ Then He answered and told them, "Indeed, Elijah is coming first and restores all things. And how is it written concerning the Son of Man, that He must suffer many things and be treated with contempt?

nkjv@Mark:9:13 @ But I say to you that Elijah has also come, and they did to him whatever they wished, as it is written of him."

nkjv@Mark:9:14 @ And when He came to the disciples, He saw a great multitude around them, and scribes disputing with them.

nkjv@Mark:9:16 @ And He asked the scribes, "What are you discussing with them?"

nkjv@Mark:9:18 @ And wherever it seizes him, it throws him down; he foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth, and becomes rigid. So I spoke to Your disciples, that they should cast it out, but they could not."

nkjv@Mark:9:21 @ So He asked his father, "How long has this been happening to him?" And he said, "From childhood.

nkjv@Mark:9:26 @ Then the spirit cried out, convulsed him greatly, and came out of him. And he became as one dead, so that many said, "He is dead."

nkjv@Mark:9:28 @ And when He had come into the house, His disciples asked Him privately, "Why could we not cast it out?"

nkjv@Mark:9:29 @ So He said to them, "This kind can come out by nothing but prayer and fasting."

nkjv@Mark:9:31 @ For He taught His disciples and said to them, "The Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of men, and they will kill Him. And after He is killed, He will rise the third day."

nkjv@Mark:9:32 @ But they did not understand this saying, and were afraid to ask Him.

nkjv@Mark:9:33 @ Then He came to Capernaum. And when He was in the house He asked them, "What was it you disputed among yourselves on the road?"

nkjv@Mark:9:34 @ But they kept silent, for on the road they had disputed among themselves who would be the greatest.

nkjv@Mark:9:36 @ Then He took a little child and set him in the midst of them. And when He had taken him in His arms, He said to them,

nkjv@Mark:9:40 @ For he who is not against us is on our side.

nkjv@Mark:9:41 @ For whoever gives you a cup of water to drink in My name, because you belong to Christ, assuredly, I say to you, he will by no means lose his reward.

nkjv@Mark:9:50 @ Salt is good, but if the salt loses its flavor, how will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace with one another."

nkjv@Mark:10:2 @ The Pharisees came and asked Him, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?" testing Him.

nkjv@Mark:10:4 @ They said, "Moses permitted a man to write a certificate of divorce, and to dismiss her."

nkjv@Mark:10:26 @ And they were greatly astonished, saying among themselves, "Who then can be saved?"

nkjv@Mark:10:27 @ But Jesus looked at them and said, "With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible."

nkjv@Mark:10:29 @ So Jesus answered and said, "Assuredly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My sake and the gospel's,

nkjv@Mark:10:30 @ who shall not receive a hundredfold now in this time--houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions--and in the age to come, eternal life.

nkjv@Mark:10:34 @ and they will mock Him, and scourge Him, and spit on Him, and kill Him. And the third day He will rise again."

nkjv@Mark:10:38 @ But Jesus said to them, "You do not know what you ask. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?"

nkjv@Mark:10:39 @ They said to Him, "We are able." So Jesus said to them, "You will indeed drink the cup that I drink, and with the baptism I am baptized with you will be baptized;

nkjv@Mark:10:40 @ but to sit on My right hand and on My left is not Mine to give, but it is for those for whom it is prepared."

nkjv@Mark:10:41 @ And when the ten heard it, they began to be greatly displeased with James and John.

nkjv@Mark:10:42 @ But Jesus called them to Himself and said to them, "You know that those who are considered rulers over the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.

nkjv@Mark:10:45 @ For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many."

nkjv@Mark:10:46 @ Now they came to Jericho. As He went out of Jericho with His disciples and a great multitude, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the road begging.

nkjv@Mark:10:49 @ So Jesus stood still and commanded him to be called. Then they called the blind man, saying to him, "Be of good cheer. Rise, He is calling you."

nkjv@Mark:10:50 @ And throwing aside his garment, he rose and came to Jesus.

nkjv@Mark:10:52 @ Then Jesus said to him, "Go your way; your faith has made you well." And immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus on the road.

nkjv@Mark:11:1 @ Now when they drew near Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, He sent two of His disciples;

nkjv@Mark:11:3 @ And if anyone says to you, "Why are you doing this?' say, "The Lord has need of it,' and immediately he will send it here."

nkjv@Mark:11:9 @ Then those who went before and those who followed cried out, saying: "Hosanna! "Blessed is He who comes in the name of the LORD!'

nkjv@Mark:11:10 @ Blessed is the kingdom of our father David That comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!"

nkjv@Mark:11:14 @ In response Jesus said to it, "Let no one eat fruit from you ever again." And His disciples heard it.

nkjv@Mark:11:17 @ Then He taught, saying to them, "Is it not written, "My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations'? But you have made it a "den of thieves."'

nkjv@Mark:11:18 @ And the scribes and chief priests heard it and sought how they might destroy Him; for they feared Him, because all the people were astonished at His teaching.

nkjv@Mark:11:23 @ For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, "Be removed and be cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.

nkjv@Mark:11:28 @ And they said to Him, "By what authority are You doing these things? And who gave You this authority to do these things?"

nkjv@Mark:11:30 @ The baptism of John--was it from heaven or from men? Answer Me."

nkjv@Mark:12:6 @ Therefore still having one son, his beloved, he also sent him to them last, saying, "They will respect my son.'

nkjv@Mark:12:7 @ But those vinedressers said among themselves, "This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.'

nkjv@Mark:12:10 @ Have you not even read this Scripture: "The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone.

nkjv@Mark:12:11 @ This was the LORD's doing, And it is marvelous in our eyes'?"

nkjv@Mark:12:13 @ Then they sent to Him some of the Pharisees and the Herodians, to catch Him in His words.

nkjv@Mark:12:14 @ When they had come, they said to Him, "Teacher, we know that You are true, and care about no one; for You do not regard the person of men, but teach the way of God in truth. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?

nkjv@Mark:12:15 @ Shall we pay, or shall we not pay?" But He, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, "Why do you test Me? Bring Me a denarius that I may see it."

nkjv@Mark:12:16 @ So they brought it. And He said to them, "Whose image and inscription is this?" They said to Him, "Caesar's."

nkjv@Mark:12:18 @ Then some Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Him; and they asked Him, saying:

nkjv@Mark:12:19 @ "Teacher, Moses wrote to us that if a man's brother dies, and leaves his wife behind, and leaves no children, his brother should take his wife and raise up offspring for his brother.

nkjv@Mark:12:21 @ And the second took her, and he died; nor did he leave any offspring. And the third likewise.

nkjv@Mark:12:23 @ Therefore, in the resurrection, when they rise, whose wife will she be? For all seven had her as wife."

nkjv@Mark:12:24 @ Jesus answered and said to them, "Are you not therefore mistaken, because you do not know the Scriptures nor the power of God?

nkjv@Mark:12:25 @ For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.

nkjv@Mark:12:26 @ But concerning the dead, that they rise, have you not read in the book of Moses, in the burning bush passage, how God spoke to him, saying, "I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'?

nkjv@Mark:12:27 @ He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living. You are therefore greatly mistaken."

nkjv@Mark:12:28 @ Then one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, perceiving that He had answered them well, asked Him, "Which is the first commandment of all?"

nkjv@Mark:12:29 @ Jesus answered him, "The first of all the commandments is: "Hear, O Israel, the LORD our God, the LORD is one.

nkjv@Mark:12:30 @ And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.' This is the first commandment.

nkjv@Mark:12:31 @ And the second, like it, is this: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these."

nkjv@Mark:12:32 @ So the scribe said to Him, "Well said, Teacher. You have spoken the truth, for there is one God, and there is no other but He.

nkjv@Mark:12:33 @ And to love Him with all the heart, with all the understanding, with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love one's neighbor as oneself, is more than all the whole burnt offerings and sacrifices."

nkjv@Mark:12:34 @ Now when Jesus saw that he answered wisely, He said to him, "You are not far from the kingdom of God." But after that no one dared question Him.

nkjv@Mark:12:35 @ Then Jesus answered and said, while He taught in the temple, "How is it that the scribes say that the Christ is the Son of David?

nkjv@Mark:12:37 @ Therefore David himself calls Him "Lord'; how is He then his Son?" And the common people heard Him gladly.

nkjv@Mark:12:38 @ Then He said to them in His teaching, "Beware of the scribes, who desire to go around in long robes, love greetings in the marketplaces,

nkjv@Mark:12:43 @ So He called His disciples to Himself and said to them, "Assuredly, I say to you that this poor widow has put in more than all those who have given to the treasury;

nkjv@Mark:13:1 @ Then as He went out of the temple, one of His disciples said to Him, "Teacher, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here!"

nkjv@Mark:13:7 @ But when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be troubled; for such things must happen, but the end is not yet.

nkjv@Mark:13:8 @ For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be earthquakes in various places, and there will be famines and troubles. These are the beginnings of sorrows.

nkjv@Mark:13:11 @ But when they arrest you and deliver you up, do not worry beforehand, or premeditate what you will speak. But whatever is given you in that hour, speak that; for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit.

nkjv@Mark:13:12 @ Now brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death.

nkjv@Mark:13:15 @ Let him who is on the housetop not go down into the house, nor enter to take anything out of his house.

nkjv@Mark:13:16 @ And let him who is in the field not go back to get his clothes.

nkjv@Mark:13:19 @ For in those days there will be tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the creation which God created until this time, nor ever shall be.

nkjv@Mark:13:21 @ "Then if anyone says to you, "Look, here is the Christ!' or, "Look, He is there!' do not believe it.

nkjv@Mark:13:22 @ For false christs and false prophets will rise and show signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.

nkjv@Mark:13:27 @ And then He will send His angels, and gather together His elect from the four winds, from the farthest part of earth to the farthest part of heaven.

nkjv@Mark:13:28 @ "Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender, and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near.

nkjv@Mark:13:29 @ So you also, when you see these things happening, know that it is near--at the doors!

nkjv@Mark:13:30 @ Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place.

nkjv@Mark:13:33 @ Take heed, watch and pray; for you do not know when the time is.

nkjv@Mark:13:34 @ It is like a man going to a far country, who left his house and gave authority to his servants, and to each his work, and commanded the doorkeeper to watch.

nkjv@Mark:13:35 @ Watch therefore, for you do not know when the master of the house is coming--in the evening, at midnight, at the crowing of the rooster, or in the morning--

nkjv@Mark:14:3 @ And being in Bethany at the house of Simon the leper, as He sat at the table, a woman came having an alabaster flask of very costly oil of spikenard. Then she broke the flask and poured it on His head.

nkjv@Mark:14:4 @ But there were some who were indignant among themselves, and said, "Why was this fragrant oil wasted?

nkjv@Mark:14:7 @ For you have the poor with you always, and whenever you wish you may do them good; but Me you do not have always.

nkjv@Mark:14:9 @ Assuredly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told as a memorial to her."

nkjv@Mark:14:10 @ Then Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went to the chief priests to betray Him to them.

nkjv@Mark:14:11 @ And when they heard it, they were glad, and promised to give him money. So he sought how he might conveniently betray Him.

nkjv@Mark:14:12 @ Now on the first day of Unleavened Bread, when they killed the Passover lamb, His disciples said to Him, "Where do You want us to go and prepare, that You may eat the Passover?"

nkjv@Mark:14:13 @ And He sent out two of His disciples and said to them, "Go into the city, and a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water; follow him.

nkjv@Mark:14:14 @ Wherever he goes in, say to the master of the house, "The Teacher says, "Where is the guest room in which I may eat the Passover with My disciples?"'

nkjv@Mark:14:15 @ Then he will show you a large upper room, furnished and prepared; there make ready for us."

nkjv@Mark:14:16 @ So His disciples went out, and came into the city, and found it just as He had said to them; and they prepared the Passover.

nkjv@Mark:14:19 @ And they began to be sorrowful, and to say to Him one by one, "Is it I?" And another said, "Is it I?"

nkjv@Mark:14:20 @ He answered and said to them, "It is one of the twelve, who dips with Me in the dish.

nkjv@Mark:14:21 @ The Son of Man indeed goes just as it is written of Him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had never been born."

nkjv@Mark:14:22 @ And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them and said, "Take, eat; this is My body."

nkjv@Mark:14:24 @ And He said to them, "This is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many.

nkjv@Mark:14:27 @ Then Jesus said to them, "All of you will be made to stumble because of Me this night, for it is written: "I will strike the Shepherd, And the sheep will be scattered.'

nkjv@Mark:14:28 @ "But after I have been raised, I will go before you to Galilee."

nkjv@Mark:14:30 @ Jesus said to him, "Assuredly, I say to you that today, even this night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times."

nkjv@Mark:14:31 @ But he spoke more vehemently, "If I have to die with You, I will not deny You!" And they all said likewise.

nkjv@Mark:14:32 @ Then they came to a place which was named Gethsemane; and He said to His disciples, "Sit here while I pray."

nkjv@Mark:14:33 @ And He took Peter, James, and John with Him, and He began to be troubled and deeply distressed.

nkjv@Mark:14:34 @ Then He said to them, "My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch."

nkjv@Mark:14:36 @ And He said, "Abba, Father, all things are possible for You. Take this cup away from Me; nevertheless, not what I will, but what You will."

nkjv@Mark:14:38 @ Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."

nkjv@Mark:14:41 @ Then He came the third time and said to them, "Are you still sleeping and resting? It is enough! The hour has come; behold, the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners.

nkjv@Mark:14:42 @ Rise, let us be going. See, My betrayer is at hand."

nkjv@Mark:14:44 @ Now His betrayer had given them a signal, saying, "Whomever I kiss, He is the One; seize Him and lead Him away safely."

nkjv@Mark:14:45 @ As soon as he had come, immediately he went up to Him and said to Him, "Rabbi, Rabbi!" and kissed Him.

nkjv@Mark:14:47 @ And one of those who stood by drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.

nkjv@Mark:14:51 @ Now a certain young man followed Him, having a linen cloth thrown around his naked body. And the young men laid hold of him,

nkjv@Mark:14:54 @ But Peter followed Him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest. And he sat with the servants and warmed himself at the fire.

nkjv@Mark:14:58 @ "We heard Him say, "I will destroy this temple made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands."'

nkjv@Mark:14:60 @ And the high priest stood up in the midst and asked Jesus, saying, "Do You answer nothing? What is it these men testify against You?"

nkjv@Mark:14:61 @ But He kept silent and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked Him, saying to Him, "Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?"

nkjv@Mark:14:63 @ Then the high priest tore his clothes and said, "What further need do we have of witnesses?

nkjv@Mark:14:69 @ And the servant girl saw him again, and began to say to those who stood by, "This is one of them."

nkjv@Mark:14:71 @ Then he began to curse and swear, "I do not know this Man of whom you speak!"

nkjv@Mark:15:2 @ Then Pilate asked Him, "Are You the King of the Jews?" He answered and said to him, "It is as you say."

nkjv@Mark:15:6 @ Now at the feast he was accustomed to releasing one prisoner to them, whomever they requested.

nkjv@Mark:15:7 @ And there was one named Barabbas, who was chained with his fellow rebels; they had committed murder in the rebellion.

nkjv@Mark:15:16 @ Then the soldiers led Him away into the hall called Praetorium, and they called together the whole garrison.

nkjv@Mark:15:17 @ And they clothed Him with purple; and they twisted a crown of thorns, put it on His head,

nkjv@Mark:15:20 @ And when they had mocked Him, they took the purple off Him, put His own clothes on Him, and led Him out to crucify Him.

nkjv@Mark:15:21 @ Then they compelled a certain man, Simon a Cyrenian, the father of Alexander and Rufus, as he was coming out of the country and passing by, to bear His cross.

nkjv@Mark:15:22 @ And they brought Him to the place Golgotha, which is translated, Place of a Skull.

nkjv@Mark:15:24 @ And when they crucified Him, they divided His garments, casting lots for them to determine what every man should take.

nkjv@Mark:15:26 @ And the inscription of His accusation was written above: THE KING OF THE JEWS.

nkjv@Mark:15:27 @ With Him they also crucified two robbers, one on His right and the other on His left.

nkjv@Mark:15:31 @ Likewise the chief priests also, mocking among themselves with the scribes, said, "He saved others; Himself He cannot save.

nkjv@Mark:15:32 @ Let the Christ, the King of Israel, descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe." Even those who were crucified with Him reviled Him.

nkjv@Mark:15:34 @ And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?" which is translated, "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?"

nkjv@Mark:15:35 @ Some of those who stood by, when they heard that, said, "Look, He is calling for Elijah!"

nkjv@Mark:15:37 @ And Jesus cried out with a loud voice, and breathed His last.

nkjv@Mark:15:39 @ So when the centurion, who stood opposite Him, saw that He cried out like this and breathed His last, he said, "Truly this Man was the Son of God!"

nkjv@Mark:15:41 @ who also followed Him and ministered to Him when He was in Galilee, and many other women who came up with Him to Jerusalem.

nkjv@Mark:16:2 @ Very early in the morning, on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb when the sun had risen.

nkjv@Mark:16:6 @ But he said to them, "Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He is risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid Him.

nkjv@Mark:16:7 @ But go, tell His disciples--and Peter--that He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him, as He said to you."

nkjv@Mark:16:14 @ Later He appeared to the eleven as they sat at the table; and He rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen Him after He had risen.

nkjv@Mark:16:16 @ He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.

nkjv@Luke:1:2 @ just as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word delivered them to us,

nkjv@Luke:1:5 @ There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the division of Abijah. His wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.

nkjv@Luke:1:8 @ So it was, that while he was serving as priest before God in the order of his division,

nkjv@Luke:1:9 @ according to the custom of the priesthood, his lot fell to burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord.

nkjv@Luke:1:13 @ But the angel said to him, "Do not be afraid, Zacharias, for your prayer is heard; and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John.

nkjv@Luke:1:14 @ And you will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth.

nkjv@Luke:1:15 @ For he will be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink. He will also be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother's womb.

nkjv@Luke:1:16 @ And he will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God.

nkjv@Luke:1:17 @ He will also go before Him in the spirit and power of Elijah, "to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,' and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make ready a people prepared for the Lord."

nkjv@Luke:1:18 @ And Zacharias said to the angel, "How shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is well advanced in years."

nkjv@Luke:1:22 @ But when he came out, he could not speak to them; and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple, for he beckoned to them and remained speechless.

nkjv@Luke:1:23 @ So it was, as soon as the days of his service were completed, that he departed to his own house.

nkjv@Luke:1:24 @ Now after those days his wife Elizabeth conceived; and she hid herself five months, saying,

nkjv@Luke:1:28 @ And having come in, the angel said to her, "Rejoice, highly favored one, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women!"

nkjv@Luke:1:29 @ But when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and considered what manner of greeting this was.

nkjv@Luke:1:31 @ And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name JESUS.

nkjv@Luke:1:32 @ He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David.

nkjv@Luke:1:33 @ And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end."

nkjv@Luke:1:34 @ Then Mary said to the angel, "How can this be, since I do not know a man?"

nkjv@Luke:1:35 @ And the angel answered and said to her, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God.

nkjv@Luke:1:36 @ Now indeed, Elizabeth your relative has also conceived a son in her old age; and this is now the sixth month for her who was called barren.

nkjv@Luke:1:42 @ Then she spoke out with a loud voice and said, "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!

nkjv@Luke:1:43 @ But why is this granted to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?

nkjv@Luke:1:45 @ Blessed is she who believed, for there will be a fulfillment of those things which were told her from the Lord."

nkjv@Luke:1:48 @ For He has regarded the lowly state of His maidservant; For behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed.

nkjv@Luke:1:49 @ For He who is mighty has done great things for me, And holy is His name.

nkjv@Luke:1:50 @ And His mercy is on those who fear Him From generation to generation.

nkjv@Luke:1:63 @ And he asked for a writing tablet, and wrote, saying, "His name is John." So they all marveled.

nkjv@Luke:1:64 @ Immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue loosed, and he spoke, praising God.

nkjv@Luke:1:65 @ Then fear came on all who dwelt around them; and all these sayings were discussed throughout all the hill country of Judea.

nkjv@Luke:1:66 @ And all those who heard them kept them in their hearts, saying, "What kind of child will this be?" And the hand of the Lord was with him.

nkjv@Luke:1:67 @ Now his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying:

nkjv@Luke:1:68 @ "Blessed is the Lord God of Israel, For He has visited and redeemed His people,

nkjv@Luke:2:40 @ And the Child grew and became strong in spirit, filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon Him.

nkjv@Luke:2:41 @ His parents went to Jerusalem every year at the Feast of the Passover.

nkjv@Luke:2:43 @ When they had finished the days, as they returned, the Boy Jesus lingered behind in Jerusalem. And Joseph and His mother did not know it;

nkjv@Luke:2:46 @ Now so it was that after three days they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions.

nkjv@Luke:2:47 @ And all who heard Him were astonished at His understanding and answers.

nkjv@Luke:2:48 @ So when they saw Him, they were amazed; and His mother said to Him, "Son, why have You done this to us? Look, Your father and I have sought You anxiously."

nkjv@Luke:2:51 @ Then He went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was subject to them, but His mother kept all these things in her heart.

nkjv@Luke:2:52 @ And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.

nkjv@Luke:3:1 @ Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, his brother Philip tetrarch of Iturea and the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,

nkjv@Luke:3:3 @ And he went into all the region around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins,

nkjv@Luke:3:4 @ as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, saying: "The voice of one crying in the wilderness: "Prepare the way of the LORD; Make His paths straight.

nkjv@Luke:3:8 @ Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance, and do not begin to say to yourselves, "We have Abraham as our father.' For I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones.

nkjv@Luke:3:9 @ And even now the ax is laid to the root of the trees. Therefore every tree which does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire."

nkjv@Luke:3:11 @ He answered and said to them, "He who has two tunics, let him give to him who has none; and he who has food, let him do likewise."

nkjv@Luke:3:13 @ And he said to them, "Collect no more than what is appointed for you."

nkjv@Luke:3:14 @ Likewise the soldiers asked him, saying, "And what shall we do?" So he said to them, "Do not intimidate anyone or accuse falsely, and be content with your wages."

nkjv@Luke:3:15 @ Now as the people were in expectation, and all reasoned in their hearts about John, whether he was the Christ or not,

nkjv@Luke:3:16 @ John answered, saying to all, "I indeed baptize you with water; but One mightier than I is coming, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to loose. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.

nkjv@Luke:3:17 @ His winnowing fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clean out His threshing floor, and gather the wheat into His barn; but the chaff He will burn with unquenchable fire."

nkjv@Luke:3:19 @ But Herod the tetrarch, being rebuked by him concerning Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done,

nkjv@Luke:3:20 @ also added this, above all, that he shut John up in prison.

nkjv@Luke:3:23 @ Now Jesus Himself began His ministry at about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, the son of Heli,

nkjv@Luke:3:34 @ the son of Jacob, the son of Isaac, the son of Abraham, the son of Terah, the son of Nahor,

nkjv@Luke:4:3 @ And the devil said to Him, "If You are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread."

nkjv@Luke:4:4 @ But Jesus answered him, saying, "It is written, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God."'

nkjv@Luke:4:6 @ And the devil said to Him, "All this authority I will give You, and their glory; for this has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I wish.

nkjv@Luke:4:8 @ And Jesus answered and said to him, "Get behind Me, Satan! For it is written, "You shall worship the LORD your God, and Him only you shall serve."'

nkjv@Luke:4:10 @ For it is written: "He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you,'

nkjv@Luke:4:16 @ So He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. And as His custom was, He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read.

nkjv@Luke:4:17 @ And He was handed the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when He had opened the book, He found the place where it was written:

nkjv@Luke:4:18 @ "The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me To preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives And recovery of sight to the blind, To set at liberty those who are oppressed;

nkjv@Luke:4:21 @ And He began to say to them, "Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing."

nkjv@Luke:4:22 @ So all bore witness to Him, and marveled at the gracious words which proceeded out of His mouth. And they said, "Is this not Joseph's son?"

nkjv@Luke:4:23 @ He said to them, "You will surely say this proverb to Me, "Physician, heal yourself! Whatever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in Your country."'

nkjv@Luke:4:24 @ Then He said, "Assuredly, I say to you, no prophet is accepted in his own country.

nkjv@Luke:4:25 @ But I tell you truly, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, and there was a great famine throughout all the land;

nkjv@Luke:4:27 @ And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, and none of them was cleansed except Naaman the Syrian."

nkjv@Luke:4:30 @ Then passing through the midst of them, He went His way.

nkjv@Luke:4:32 @ And they were astonished at His teaching, for His word was with authority.

nkjv@Luke:4:36 @ Then they were all amazed and spoke among themselves, saying, "What a word this is! For with authority and power He commands the unclean spirits, and they come out."

nkjv@Luke:4:40 @ When the sun was setting, all those who had any that were sick with various diseases brought them to Him; and He laid His hands on every one of them and healed them.

nkjv@Luke:4:41 @ And demons also came out of many, crying out and saying, "You are the Christ, the Son of God!" And He, rebuking them, did not allow them to speak, for they knew that He was the Christ.

nkjv@Luke:4:43 @ but He said to them, "I must preach the kingdom of God to the other cities also, because for this purpose I have been sent."

nkjv@Luke:5:2 @ and saw two boats standing by the lake; but the fishermen had gone from them and were washing their nets.

nkjv@Luke:5:6 @ And when they had done this, they caught a great number of fish, and their net was breaking.

nkjv@Luke:5:9 @ For he and all who were with him were astonished at the catch of fish which they had taken;

nkjv@Luke:5:12 @ And it happened when He was in a certain city, that behold, a man who was full of leprosy saw Jesus; and he fell on his face and implored Him, saying, "Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean."

nkjv@Luke:5:13 @ Then He put out His hand and touched him, saying, "I am willing; be cleansed." Immediately the leprosy left him.

nkjv@Luke:5:17 @ Now it happened on a certain day, as He was teaching, that there were Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting by, who had come out of every town of Galilee, Judea, and Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was present to heal them.

nkjv@Luke:5:19 @ And when they could not find how they might bring him in, because of the crowd, they went up on the housetop and let him down with his bed through the tiling into the midst before Jesus.

nkjv@Luke:5:21 @ And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, "Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God alone?"

nkjv@Luke:5:23 @ Which is easier, to say, "Your sins are forgiven you,' or to say, "Rise up and walk'?

nkjv@Luke:5:24 @ But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins"--He said to the man who was paralyzed, "I say to you, arise, take up your bed, and go to your house."

nkjv@Luke:5:25 @ Immediately he rose up before them, took up what he had been lying on, and departed to his own house, glorifying God.

nkjv@Luke:5:29 @ Then Levi gave Him a great feast in his own house. And there were a great number of tax collectors and others who sat down with them.

nkjv@Luke:5:30 @ And their scribes and the Pharisees complained against His disciples, saying, "Why do You eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?"

nkjv@Luke:5:33 @ Then they said to Him, "Why do the disciples of John fast often and make prayers, and likewise those of the Pharisees, but Yours eat and drink?"

nkjv@Luke:5:34 @ And He said to them, "Can you make the friends of the bridegroom fast while the bridegroom is with them?

nkjv@Luke:5:36 @ Then He spoke a parable to them: "No one puts a piece from a new garment on an old one; otherwise the new makes a tear, and also the piece that was taken out of the new does not match the old.

nkjv@Luke:5:39 @ And no one, having drunk old wine, immediately desires new; for he says, "The old is better."'

nkjv@Luke:6:1 @ Now it happened on the second Sabbath after the first that He went through the grainfields. And His disciples plucked the heads of grain and ate them, rubbing them in their hands.

nkjv@Luke:6:2 @ And some of the Pharisees said to them, "Why are you doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath?"

nkjv@Luke:6:3 @ But Jesus answering them said, "Have you not even read this, what David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him:

nkjv@Luke:6:4 @ how he went into the house of God, took and ate the showbread, and also gave some to those with him, which is not lawful for any but the priests to eat?"

nkjv@Luke:6:5 @ And He said to them, "The Son of Man is also Lord of the Sabbath."

nkjv@Luke:6:7 @ So the scribes and Pharisees watched Him closely, whether He would heal on the Sabbath, that they might find an accusation against Him.

nkjv@Luke:6:8 @ But He knew their thoughts, and said to the man who had the withered hand, "Arise and stand here." And he arose and stood.

nkjv@Luke:6:9 @ Then Jesus said to them, "I will ask you one thing: Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy?"

nkjv@Luke:6:10 @ And when He had looked around at them all, He said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." And he did so, and his hand was restored as whole as the other.

nkjv@Luke:6:11 @ But they were filled with rage, and discussed with one another what they might do to Jesus.

nkjv@Luke:6:13 @ And when it was day, He called His disciples to Himself; and from them He chose twelve whom He also named apostles:

nkjv@Luke:6:14 @ Simon, whom He also named Peter, and Andrew his brother; James and John; Philip and Bartholomew;

nkjv@Luke:6:16 @ Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot who also became a traitor.

nkjv@Luke:6:17 @ And He came down with them and stood on a level place with a crowd of His disciples and a great multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem, and from the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear Him and be healed of their diseases,

nkjv@Luke:6:20 @ Then He lifted up His eyes toward His disciples, and said: "Blessed are you poor, For yours is the kingdom of God.

nkjv@Luke:6:23 @ Rejoice in that day and leap for joy! For indeed your reward is great in heaven, For in like manner their fathers did to the prophets.

nkjv@Luke:6:31 @ And just as you want men to do to you, you also do to them likewise.

nkjv@Luke:6:32 @ "But if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.

nkjv@Luke:6:33 @ And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.

nkjv@Luke:6:34 @ And if you lend to those from whom you hope to receive back, what credit is that to you? For even sinners lend to sinners to receive as much back.

nkjv@Luke:6:35 @ But love your enemies, do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High. For He is kind to the unthankful and evil.

nkjv@Luke:6:36 @ Therefore be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful.

nkjv@Luke:6:40 @ A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone who is perfectly trained will be like his teacher.

nkjv@Luke:6:42 @ Or how can you say to your brother, "Brother, let me remove the speck that is in your eye,' when you yourself do not see the plank that is in your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck that is in your brother's eye.

nkjv@Luke:6:44 @ For every tree is known by its own fruit. For men do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather grapes from a bramble bush.

nkjv@Luke:6:45 @ A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.

nkjv@Luke:6:47 @ Whoever comes to Me, and hears My sayings and does them, I will show you whom he is like:

nkjv@Luke:6:48 @ He is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently against that house, and could not shake it, for it was founded on the rock.

nkjv@Luke:6:49 @ But he who heard and did nothing is like a man who built a house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream beat vehemently; and immediately it fell. And the ruin of that house was great."

nkjv@Luke:7:1 @ Now when He concluded all His sayings in the hearing of the people, He entered Capernaum.

nkjv@Luke:7:3 @ So when he heard about Jesus, he sent elders of the Jews to Him, pleading with Him to come and heal his servant.

nkjv@Luke:7:4 @ And when they came to Jesus, they begged Him earnestly, saying that the one for whom He should do this was deserving,

nkjv@Luke:7:8 @ For I also am a man placed under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to one, "Go,' and he goes; and to another, "Come,' and he comes; and to my servant, "Do this,' and he does it."

nkjv@Luke:7:9 @ When Jesus heard these things, He marveled at him, and turned around and said to the crowd that followed Him, "I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel!"

nkjv@Luke:7:11 @ Now it happened, the day after, that He went into a city called Nain; and many of His disciples went with Him, and a large crowd.

nkjv@Luke:7:12 @ And when He came near the gate of the city, behold, a dead man was being carried out, the only son of his mother; and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the city was with her.

nkjv@Luke:7:14 @ Then He came and touched the open coffin, and those who carried him stood still. And He said, "Young man, I say to you, arise."

nkjv@Luke:7:15 @ So he who was dead sat up and began to speak. And He presented him to his mother.

nkjv@Luke:7:16 @ Then fear came upon all, and they glorified God, saying, "A great prophet has risen up among us"; and, "God has visited His people."

nkjv@Luke:7:17 @ And this report about Him went throughout all Judea and all the surrounding region.

nkjv@Luke:7:18 @ Then the disciples of John reported to him concerning all these things.

nkjv@Luke:7:19 @ And John, calling two of his disciples to him, sent them to Jesus, saying, "Are You the Coming One, or do we look for another?"

nkjv@Luke:7:20 @ When the men had come to Him, they said, "John the Baptist has sent us to You, saying, "Are You the Coming One, or do we look for another?"'

nkjv@Luke:7:22 @ Jesus answered and said to them, "Go and tell John the things you have seen and heard: that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, the poor have the gospel preached to them.

nkjv@Luke:7:23 @ And blessed is he who is not offended because of Me."

nkjv@Luke:7:27 @ This is he of whom it is written: "Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, Who will prepare Your way before You.'

nkjv@Luke:7:28 @ For I say to you, among those born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist; but he who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he."

nkjv@Luke:7:29 @ And when all the people heard Him, even the tax collectors justified God, having been baptized with the baptism of John.

nkjv@Luke:7:30 @ But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the will of God for themselves, not having been baptized by him.

nkjv@Luke:7:31 @ And the Lord said, "To what then shall I liken the men of this generation, and what are they like?

nkjv@Luke:7:33 @ For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, "He has a demon.'

nkjv@Luke:7:35 @ But wisdom is justified by all her children."

nkjv@Luke:7:36 @ Then one of the Pharisees asked Him to eat with him. And He went to the Pharisee's house, and sat down to eat.

nkjv@Luke:7:37 @ And behold, a woman in the city who was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at the table in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster flask of fragrant oil,

nkjv@Luke:7:38 @ and stood at His feet behind Him weeping; and she began to wash His feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head; and she kissed His feet and anointed them with the fragrant oil.

nkjv@Luke:7:39 @ Now when the Pharisee who had invited Him saw this, he spoke to himself, saying, "This Man, if He were a prophet, would know who and what manner of woman this is who is touching Him, for she is a sinner."

nkjv@Luke:7:44 @ Then He turned to the woman and said to Simon, "Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you gave Me no water for My feet, but she has washed My feet with her tears and wiped them with the hair of her head.

nkjv@Luke:7:45 @ You gave Me no kiss, but this woman has not ceased to kiss My feet since the time I came in.

nkjv@Luke:7:46 @ You did not anoint My head with oil, but this woman has anointed My feet with fragrant oil.

nkjv@Luke:7:47 @ Therefore I say to you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little."

nkjv@Luke:7:49 @ And those who sat at the table with Him began to say to themselves, "Who is this who even forgives sins?"

nkjv@Luke:8:5 @ "A sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some fell by the wayside; and it was trampled down, and the birds of the air devoured it.

nkjv@Luke:8:6 @ Some fell on rock; and as soon as it sprang up, it withered away because it lacked moisture.

nkjv@Luke:8:9 @ Then His disciples asked Him, saying, "What does this parable mean?"

nkjv@Luke:8:10 @ And He said, "To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest it is given in parables, that "Seeing they may not see, And hearing they may not understand.'

nkjv@Luke:8:11 @ "Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.

nkjv@Luke:8:17 @ For nothing is secret that will not be revealed, nor anything hidden that will not be known and come to light.

nkjv@Luke:8:19 @ Then His mother and brothers came to Him, and could not approach Him because of the crowd.

nkjv@Luke:8:22 @ Now it happened, on a certain day, that He got into a boat with His disciples. And He said to them, "Let us cross over to the other side of the lake." And they launched out.

nkjv@Luke:8:24 @ And they came to Him and awoke Him, saying, "Master, Master, we are perishing!" Then He arose and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water. And they ceased, and there was a calm.

nkjv@Luke:8:25 @ But He said to them, "Where is your faith?" And they were afraid, and marveled, saying to one another, "Who can this be? For He commands even the winds and water, and they obey Him!"

nkjv@Luke:8:26 @ Then they sailed to the country of the Gadarenes, which is opposite Galilee.

nkjv@Luke:8:30 @ Jesus asked him, saying, "What is your name?" And he said, "Legion," because many demons had entered him.

nkjv@Luke:8:35 @ Then they went out to see what had happened, and came to Jesus, and found the man from whom the demons had departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind. And they were afraid.

nkjv@Luke:8:39 @ "Return to your own house, and tell what great things God has done for you." And he went his way and proclaimed throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him.

nkjv@Luke:8:41 @ And behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue. And he fell down at Jesus' feet and begged Him to come to his house,

nkjv@Luke:8:49 @ While He was still speaking, someone came from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying to him, "Your daughter is dead. Do not trouble the Teacher."

nkjv@Luke:8:52 @ Now all wept and mourned for her; but He said, "Do not weep; she is not dead, but sleeping."

nkjv@Luke:8:54 @ But He put them all outside, took her by the hand and called, saying, "Little girl, arise."

nkjv@Luke:8:56 @ And her parents were astonished, but He charged them to tell no one what had happened.

nkjv@Luke:9:1 @ Then He called His twelve disciples together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.

nkjv@Luke:9:7 @ Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by Him; and he was perplexed, because it was said by some that John had risen from the dead,

nkjv@Luke:9:8 @ and by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets had risen again.

nkjv@Luke:9:9 @ Herod said, "John I have beheaded, but who is this of whom I hear such things?" So he sought to see Him.

nkjv@Luke:9:12 @ When the day began to wear away, the twelve came and said to Him, "Send the multitude away, that they may go into the surrounding towns and country, and lodge and get provisions; for we are in a deserted place here."

nkjv@Luke:9:13 @ But He said to them, "You give them something to eat." And they said, "We have no more than five loaves and two fish, unless we go and buy food for all these people."

nkjv@Luke:9:14 @ For there were about five thousand men. Then He said to His disciples, "Make them sit down in groups of fifty."

nkjv@Luke:9:16 @ Then He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the multitude.

nkjv@Luke:9:18 @ And it happened, as He was alone praying, that His disciples joined Him, and He asked them, saying, "Who do the crowds say that I am?"

nkjv@Luke:9:19 @ So they answered and said, "John the Baptist, but some say Elijah; and others say that one of the old prophets has risen again."

nkjv@Luke:9:20 @ He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" Peter answered and said, "The Christ of God."

nkjv@Luke:9:21 @ And He strictly warned and commanded them to tell this to no one,

nkjv@Luke:9:22 @ saying, "The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised the third day."

nkjv@Luke:9:23 @ Then He said to them all, "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.

nkjv@Luke:9:24 @ For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it.

nkjv@Luke:9:26 @ For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, of him the Son of Man will be ashamed when He comes in His own glory, and in His Father's, and of the holy angels.

nkjv@Luke:9:29 @ As He prayed, the appearance of His face was altered, and His robe became white and glistening.

nkjv@Luke:9:31 @ who appeared in glory and spoke of His decease which He was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.

nkjv@Luke:9:32 @ But Peter and those with him were heavy with sleep; and when they were fully awake, they saw His glory and the two men who stood with Him.

nkjv@Luke:9:33 @ Then it happened, as they were parting from Him, that Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah"--not knowing what he said.

nkjv@Luke:9:34 @ While he was saying this, a cloud came and overshadowed them; and they were fearful as they entered the cloud.

nkjv@Luke:9:35 @ And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is My beloved Son. Hear Him!"

nkjv@Luke:9:38 @ Suddenly a man from the multitude cried out, saying, "Teacher, I implore You, look on my son, for he is my only child.

nkjv@Luke:9:39 @ And behold, a spirit seizes him, and he suddenly cries out; it convulses him so that he foams at the mouth; and it departs from him with great difficulty, bruising him.

nkjv@Luke:9:40 @ So I implored Your disciples to cast it out, but they could not."

nkjv@Luke:9:42 @ And as he was still coming, the demon threw him down and convulsed him. Then Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the child, and gave him back to his father.

nkjv@Luke:9:43 @ And they were all amazed at the majesty of God. But while everyone marveled at all the things which Jesus did, He said to His disciples,

nkjv@Luke:9:44 @ "Let these words sink down into your ears, for the Son of Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men."

nkjv@Luke:9:45 @ But they did not understand this saying, and it was hidden from them so that they did not perceive it; and they were afraid to ask Him about this saying.

nkjv@Luke:9:46 @ Then a dispute arose among them as to which of them would be greatest.

nkjv@Luke:9:48 @ and said to them, "Whoever receives this little child in My name receives Me; and whoever receives Me receives Him who sent Me. For he who is least among you all will be great."

nkjv@Luke:9:50 @ But Jesus said to him, "Do not forbid him, for he who is not against us is on our side."

nkjv@Luke:9:51 @ Now it came to pass, when the time had come for Him to be received up, that He steadfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem,

nkjv@Luke:9:52 @ and sent messengers before His face. And as they went, they entered a village of the Samaritans, to prepare for Him.

nkjv@Luke:9:53 @ But they did not receive Him, because His face was set for the journey to Jerusalem.

nkjv@Luke:9:54 @ And when His disciples James and John saw this, they said, "Lord, do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them, just as Elijah did?"

nkjv@Luke:9:58 @ And Jesus said to him, "Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head."

nkjv@Luke:9:62 @ But Jesus said to him, "No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God."

nkjv@Luke:10:1 @ After these things the Lord appointed seventy others also, and sent them two by two before His face into every city and place where He Himself was about to go.

nkjv@Luke:10:2 @ Then He said to them, "The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few; therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.

nkjv@Luke:10:21 @ In that hour Jesus rejoiced in the Spirit and said, "I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and revealed them to babes. Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight.

nkjv@Luke:10:32 @ Likewise a Levite, when he arrived at the place, came and looked, and passed by on the other side.

nkjv@Luke:10:34 @ So he went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine; and he set him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him.

nkjv@Luke:10:37 @ And he said, "He who showed mercy on him." Then Jesus said to him, "Go and do likewise."

nkjv@Luke:10:39 @ And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus' feet and heard His word.

nkjv@Luke:10:40 @ But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she approached Him and said, "Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Therefore tell her to help me."

nkjv@Luke:10:42 @ But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her."

nkjv@Luke:11:1 @ Now it came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, that one of His disciples said to Him, "Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples."

nkjv@Luke:11:23 @ He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.

nkjv@Luke:11:26 @ Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first."

nkjv@Luke:11:27 @ And it happened, as He spoke these things, that a certain woman from the crowd raised her voice and said to Him, "Blessed is the womb that bore You, and the breasts which nursed You!"

nkjv@Luke:11:36 @ If then your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, the whole body will be full of light, as when the bright shining of a lamp gives you light."

nkjv@Luke:11:37 @ And as He spoke, a certain Pharisee asked Him to dine with him. So He went in and sat down to eat.

nkjv@Luke:11:38 @ When the Pharisee saw it, he marveled that He had not first washed before dinner.

nkjv@Luke:11:39 @ Then the Lord said to him, "Now you Pharisees make the outside of the cup and dish clean, but your inward part is full of greed and wickedness.

nkjv@Luke:12:1 @ In the meantime, when an innumerable multitude of people had gathered together, so that they trampled one another, He began to say to His disciples first of all, "Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

nkjv@Luke:18:29 @ So He said to them, "Assuredly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or parents or brothers or wife or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God,

nkjv@Luke:18:30 @ who shall not receive many times more in this present time, and in the age to come eternal life."

nkjv@Luke:18:31 @ Then He took the twelve aside and said to them, "Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of Man will be accomplished.

nkjv@Luke:18:33 @ They will scourge Him and kill Him. And the third day He will rise again."

nkjv@Luke:18:34 @ But they understood none of these things; this saying was hidden from them, and they did not know the things which were spoken.

nkjv@Luke:18:43 @ And immediately he received his sight, and followed Him, glorifying God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.

nkjv@Luke:19:7 @ But when they saw it, they all complained, saying, "He has gone to be a guest with a man who is a sinner."

nkjv@Luke:19:9 @ And Jesus said to him, "Today salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham;

nkjv@Luke:19:13 @ So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, "Do business till I come.'

nkjv@Luke:19:14 @ But his citizens hated him, and sent a delegation after him, saying, "We will not have this man to reign over us.'

nkjv@Luke:19:19 @ Likewise he said to him, "You also be over five cities.'

nkjv@Luke:19:20 @ "Then another came, saying, "Master, here is your mina, which I have kept put away in a handkerchief.

nkjv@Luke:19:28 @ When He had said this, He went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.

nkjv@Luke:19:29 @ And it came to pass, when He drew near to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mountain called Olivet, that He sent two of His disciples,

nkjv@Luke:19:37 @ Then, as He was now drawing near the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works they had seen,

nkjv@Luke:19:38 @ saying: ""Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the LORD!' Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!"

nkjv@Luke:19:39 @ And some of the Pharisees called to Him from the crowd, "Teacher, rebuke Your disciples."

nkjv@Luke:19:42 @ saying, "If you had known, even you, especially in this your day, the things that make for your peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes.

nkjv@Luke:19:44 @ and level you, and your children within you, to the ground; and they will not leave in you one stone upon another, because you did not know the time of your visitation."

nkjv@Luke:19:46 @ saying to them, "It is written, "My house is a house of prayer,' but you have made it a "den of thieves."'

nkjv@Luke:20:2 @ and spoke to Him, saying, "Tell us, by what authority are You doing these things? Or who is he who gave You this authority?"

nkjv@Luke:20:4 @ The baptism of John--was it from heaven or from men?"

nkjv@Luke:20:9 @ Then He began to tell the people this parable: "A certain man planted a vineyard, leased it to vinedressers, and went into a far country for a long time.

nkjv@Luke:20:14 @ But when the vinedressers saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, "This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.'

nkjv@Luke:20:17 @ Then He looked at them and said, "What then is this that is written: "The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone'?

nkjv@Luke:20:19 @ And the chief priests and the scribes that very hour sought to lay hands on Him, but they feared the people --for they knew He had spoken this parable against them.

nkjv@Luke:20:20 @ So they watched Him, and sent spies who pretended to be righteous, that they might seize on His words, in order to deliver Him to the power and the authority of the governor.

nkjv@Luke:20:21 @ Then they asked Him, saying, "Teacher, we know that You say and teach rightly, and You do not show personal favoritism, but teach the way of God in truth:

nkjv@Luke:20:22 @ Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?"

nkjv@Luke:20:26 @ But they could not catch Him in His words in the presence of the people. And they marveled at His answer and kept silent.

nkjv@Luke:20:27 @ Then some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is a resurrection, came to Him and asked Him,

nkjv@Luke:20:28 @ saying: "Teacher, Moses wrote to us that if a man's brother dies, having a wife, and he dies without children, his brother should take his wife and raise up offspring for his brother.

nkjv@Luke:20:34 @ Jesus answered and said to them, "The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage.

nkjv@Luke:20:37 @ But even Moses showed in the burning bush passage that the dead are raised, when he called the Lord "the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.'

nkjv@Luke:20:38 @ For He is not the God of the dead but of the living, for all live to Him."

nkjv@Luke:20:41 @ And He said to them, "How can they say that the Christ is the Son of David?

nkjv@Luke:20:44 @ Therefore David calls Him "Lord'; how is He then his Son?"

nkjv@Luke:20:45 @ Then, in the hearing of all the people, He said to His disciples,

nkjv@Luke:21:3 @ So He said, "Truly I say to you that this poor widow has put in more than all;

nkjv@Luke:22:3 @ Then Satan entered Judas, surnamed Iscariot, who was numbered among the twelve.

nkjv@Luke:22:4 @ So he went his way and conferred with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray Him to them.

nkjv@Luke:22:6 @ So he promised and sought opportunity to betray Him to them in the absence of the multitude.

nkjv@Luke:22:11 @ Then you shall say to the master of the house, "The Teacher says to you, "Where is the guest room where I may eat the Passover with My disciples?"'

nkjv@Luke:22:12 @ Then he will show you a large, furnished upper room; there make ready."

nkjv@Luke:22:15 @ Then He said to them, "With fervent desire I have desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer;

nkjv@Luke:22:16 @ for I say to you, I will no longer eat of it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God."

nkjv@Luke:22:17 @ Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, "Take this and divide it among yourselves;

nkjv@Luke:22:19 @ And He took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me."

nkjv@Luke:22:20 @ Likewise He also took the cup after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is shed for you.

nkjv@Luke:22:21 @ But behold, the hand of My betrayer is with Me on the table.

nkjv@Luke:22:22 @ And truly the Son of Man goes as it has been determined, but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed!"

nkjv@Luke:22:23 @ Then they began to question among themselves, which of them it was who would do this thing.

nkjv@Luke:22:24 @ Now there was also a dispute among them, as to which of them should be considered the greatest.

nkjv@Luke:22:25 @ And He said to them, "The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them, and those who exercise authority over them are called "benefactors.'

nkjv@Luke:22:26 @ But not so among you; on the contrary, he who is greatest among you, let him be as the younger, and he who governs as he who serves.

nkjv@Luke:22:27 @ For who is greater, he who sits at the table, or he who serves? Is it not he who sits at the table? Yet I am among you as the One who serves.

nkjv@Luke:22:30 @ that you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel."

nkjv@Luke:22:33 @ But he said to Him, "Lord, I am ready to go with You, both to prison and to death."

nkjv@Luke:22:34 @ Then He said, "I tell you, Peter, the rooster shall not crow this day before you will deny three times that you know Me."

nkjv@Luke:22:36 @ Then He said to them, "But now, he who has a money bag, let him take it, and likewise a knapsack; and he who has no sword, let him sell his garment and buy one.

nkjv@Luke:22:37 @ For I say to you that this which is written must still be accomplished in Me: "And He was numbered with the transgressors.' For the things concerning Me have an end."

nkjv@Luke:22:38 @ So they said, "Lord, look, here are two swords." And He said to them, "It is enough."

nkjv@Luke:22:39 @ Coming out, He went to the Mount of Olives, as He was accustomed, and His disciples also followed Him.

nkjv@Luke:22:42 @ saying, "Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done."

nkjv@Luke:22:44 @ And being in agony, He prayed more earnestly. Then His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.

nkjv@Luke:22:45 @ When He rose up from prayer, and had come to His disciples, He found them sleeping from sorrow.

nkjv@Luke:22:46 @ Then He said to them, "Why do you sleep? Rise and pray, lest you enter into temptation."

nkjv@Luke:22:47 @ And while He was still speaking, behold, a multitude; and he who was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them and drew near to Jesus to kiss Him.

nkjv@Luke:22:48 @ But Jesus said to him, "Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?"

nkjv@Luke:22:50 @ And one of them struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear.

nkjv@Luke:22:51 @ But Jesus answered and said, "Permit even this." And He touched his ear and healed him.

nkjv@Luke:22:53 @ When I was with you daily in the temple, you did not try to seize Me. But this is your hour, and the power of darkness."

nkjv@Luke:22:54 @ Having arrested Him, they led Him and brought Him into the high priest's house. But Peter followed at a distance.

nkjv@Luke:22:56 @ And a certain servant girl, seeing him as he sat by the fire, looked intently at him and said, "This man was also with Him."

nkjv@Luke:22:59 @ Then after about an hour had passed, another confidently affirmed, saying, "Surely this fellow also was with Him, for he is a Galilean."

nkjv@Luke:22:64 @ And having blindfolded Him, they struck Him on the face and asked Him, saying, "Prophesy! Who is the one who struck You?"

nkjv@Luke:22:67 @ "If You are the Christ, tell us." But He said to them, "If I tell you, you will by no means believe.

nkjv@Luke:22:71 @ And they said, "What further testimony do we need? For we have heard it ourselves from His own mouth."

nkjv@Luke:23:2 @ And they began to accuse Him, saying, "We found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to pay taxes to Caesar, saying that He Himself is Christ, a King."

nkjv@Luke:23:3 @ Then Pilate asked Him, saying, "Are You the King of the Jews?" He answered him and said, "It is as you say."

nkjv@Luke:23:4 @ So Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowd, "I find no fault in this Man."

nkjv@Luke:23:5 @ But they were the more fierce, saying, "He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee to this place."

nkjv@Luke:23:7 @ And as soon as he knew that He belonged to Herod's jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem at that time.

nkjv@Luke:23:11 @ Then Herod, with his men of war, treated Him with contempt and mocked Him, arrayed Him in a gorgeous robe, and sent Him back to Pilate.

nkjv@Luke:23:14 @ said to them, "You have brought this Man to me, as one who misleads the people. And indeed, having examined Him in your presence, I have found no fault in this Man concerning those things of which you accuse Him;

nkjv@Luke:23:18 @ And they all cried out at once, saying, "Away with this Man, and release to us Barabbas"--

nkjv@Luke:23:19 @ who had been thrown into prison for a certain rebellion made in the city, and for murder.

nkjv@Luke:23:20 @ Pilate, therefore, wishing to release Jesus, again called out to them.

nkjv@Luke:23:22 @ Then he said to them the third time, "Why, what evil has He done? I have found no reason for death in Him. I will therefore chastise Him and let Him go."

nkjv@Luke:23:23 @ But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices that He be crucified. And the voices of these men and of the chief priests prevailed.

nkjv@Luke:23:25 @ And he released to them the one they requested, who for rebellion and murder had been thrown into prison; but he delivered Jesus to their will.

nkjv@Luke:23:34 @ Then Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do." And they divided His garments and cast lots.

nkjv@Luke:23:35 @ And the people stood looking on. But even the rulers with them sneered, saying, "He saved others; let Him save Himself if He is the Christ, the chosen of God."

nkjv@Luke:23:38 @ And an inscription also was written over Him in letters of Greek, Latin, and Hebrew: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

nkjv@Luke:23:39 @ Then one of the criminals who were hanged blasphemed Him, saying, "If You are the Christ, save Yourself and us."

nkjv@Luke:23:41 @ And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this Man has done nothing wrong."

nkjv@Luke:23:43 @ And Jesus said to him, "Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise."

nkjv@Luke:23:46 @ And when Jesus had cried out with a loud voice, He said, "Father, "into Your hands I commit My spirit."' Having said this, He breathed His last.

nkjv@Luke:23:47 @ So when the centurion saw what had happened, he glorified God, saying, "Certainly this was a righteous Man!"

nkjv@Luke:23:49 @ But all His acquaintances, and the women who followed Him from Galilee, stood at a distance, watching these things.

nkjv@Luke:23:51 @ He had not consented to their decision and deed. He was from Arimathea, a city of the Jews, who himself was also waiting for the kingdom of God.

nkjv@Luke:23:52 @ This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.

nkjv@Luke:23:55 @ And the women who had come with Him from Galilee followed after, and they observed the tomb and how His body was laid.

nkjv@Luke:24:4 @ And it happened, as they were greatly perplexed about this, that behold, two men stood by them in shining garments.

nkjv@Luke:24:6 @ He is not here, but is risen! Remember how He spoke to you when He was still in Galilee,

nkjv@Luke:24:7 @ saying, "The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again."'

nkjv@Luke:24:8 @ And they remembered His words.

nkjv@Luke:24:17 @ And He said to them, "What kind of conversation is this that you have with one another as you walk and are sad?"

nkjv@Luke:24:21 @ But we were hoping that it was He who was going to redeem Israel. Indeed, besides all this, today is the third day since these things happened.

nkjv@Luke:24:22 @ Yes, and certain women of our company, who arrived at the tomb early, astonished us.

nkjv@Luke:24:23 @ When they did not find His body, they came saying that they had also seen a vision of angels who said He was alive.

nkjv@Luke:24:25 @ Then He said to them, "O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken!

nkjv@Luke:24:26 @ Ought not the Christ to have suffered these things and to enter into His glory?"

nkjv@Luke:24:29 @ But they constrained Him, saying, "Abide with us, for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent." And He went in to stay with them.

nkjv@Luke:24:31 @ Then their eyes were opened and they knew Him; and He vanished from their sight.

nkjv@Luke:24:34 @ saying, "The Lord is risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!"

nkjv@Luke:24:38 @ And He said to them, "Why are you troubled? And why do doubts arise in your hearts?

nkjv@Luke:24:39 @ Behold My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself. Handle Me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see I have."

nkjv@Luke:24:40 @ When He had said this, He showed them His hands and His feet.

nkjv@Luke:24:42 @ So they gave Him a piece of a broiled fish and some honeycomb.

nkjv@Luke:24:46 @ Then He said to them, "Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day,

nkjv@Luke:24:47 @ and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

nkjv@Luke:24:49 @ Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high."

nkjv@Luke:24:50 @ And He led them out as far as Bethany, and He lifted up His hands and blessed them.

nkjv@Luke:24:53 @ and were continually in the temple praising and blessing God. Amen.

nkjv@John:1:7 @ This man came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all through him might believe.

nkjv@John:1:11 @ He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him.

nkjv@John:1:12 @ But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:

nkjv@John:1:14 @ And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.

nkjv@John:1:15 @ John bore witness of Him and cried out, saying, "This was He of whom I said, "He who comes after me is preferred before me, for He was before me."'

nkjv@John:1:16 @ And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace.

nkjv@John:1:17 @ For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

nkjv@John:1:18 @ No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him.

nkjv@John:1:19 @ Now this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, "Who are you?"

nkjv@John:1:20 @ He confessed, and did not deny, but confessed, "I am not the Christ."

nkjv@John:1:23 @ He said: "I am "The voice of one crying in the wilderness: "Make straight the way of the LORD,"' as the prophet Isaiah said."

nkjv@John:1:24 @ Now those who were sent were from the Pharisees.

nkjv@John:1:25 @ And they asked him, saying, "Why then do you baptize if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?"

nkjv@John:1:27 @ It is He who, coming after me, is preferred before me, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to loose."

nkjv@John:1:30 @ This is He of whom I said, "After me comes a Man who is preferred before me, for He was before me.'

nkjv@John:1:31 @ I did not know Him; but that He should be revealed to Israel, therefore I came baptizing with water."

nkjv@John:1:33 @ I did not know Him, but He who sent me to baptize with water said to me, "Upon whom you see the Spirit descending, and remaining on Him, this is He who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.'

nkjv@John:1:34 @ And I have seen and testified that this is the Son of God."

nkjv@John:1:35 @ Again, the next day, John stood with two of his disciples.

nkjv@John:1:37 @ The two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.

nkjv@John:1:38 @ Then Jesus turned, and seeing them following, said to them, "What do you seek?" They said to Him, "Rabbi" (which is to say, when translated, Teacher), "where are You staying?"

nkjv@John:1:41 @ He first found his own brother Simon, and said to him, "We have found the Messiah" (which is translated, the Christ).

nkjv@John:1:42 @ And he brought him to Jesus. Now when Jesus looked at him, He said, "You are Simon the son of Jonah. You shall be called Cephas" (which is translated, A Stone).

nkjv@John:1:47 @ Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward Him, and said of him, "Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit!"

nkjv@John:1:49 @ Nathanael answered and said to Him, "Rabbi, You are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!"

nkjv@John:2:2 @ Now both Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding.

nkjv@John:2:5 @ His mother said to the servants, "Whatever He says to you, do it."

nkjv@John:2:11 @ This beginning of signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and manifested His glory; and His disciples believed in Him.

nkjv@John:2:12 @ After this He went down to Capernaum, He, His mother, His brothers, and His disciples; and they did not stay there many days.

nkjv@John:2:16 @ And He said to those who sold doves, "Take these things away! Do not make My Father's house a house of merchandise!"

nkjv@John:2:17 @ Then His disciples remembered that it was written, "Zeal for Your house has eaten Me up."

nkjv@John:2:19 @ Jesus answered and said to them, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up."

nkjv@John:2:20 @ Then the Jews said, "It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will You raise it up in three days?"

nkjv@John:2:21 @ But He was speaking of the temple of His body.

nkjv@John:2:22 @ Therefore, when He had risen from the dead, His disciples remembered that He had said this to them; and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had said.

nkjv@John:2:23 @ Now when He was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name when they saw the signs which He did.

nkjv@John:3:1 @ There was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.

nkjv@John:3:2 @ This man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, "Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him."

nkjv@John:3:3 @ Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."

nkjv@John:3:4 @ Nicodemus said to Him, "How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born?"

nkjv@John:3:5 @ Jesus answered, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.

nkjv@John:3:6 @ That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

nkjv@John:3:8 @ The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit."

nkjv@John:3:10 @ Jesus answered and said to him, "Are you the teacher of Israel, and do not know these things?

nkjv@John:3:13 @ No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man who is in heaven.

nkjv@John:3:15 @ that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.

nkjv@John:3:16 @ For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

nkjv@John:3:17 @ For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

nkjv@John:3:18 @ "He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

nkjv@John:3:19 @ And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

nkjv@John:3:20 @ For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.

nkjv@John:3:21 @ But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God."

nkjv@John:3:22 @ After these things Jesus and His disciples came into the land of Judea, and there He remained with them and baptized.

nkjv@John:3:24 @ For John had not yet been thrown into prison.

nkjv@John:3:25 @ Then there arose a dispute between some of John's disciples and the Jews about purification.

nkjv@John:3:26 @ And they came to John and said to him, "Rabbi, He who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have testified--behold, He is baptizing, and all are coming to Him!"

nkjv@John:3:28 @ You yourselves bear me witness, that I said, "I am not the Christ,' but, "I have been sent before Him.'

nkjv@John:3:29 @ He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom's voice. Therefore this joy of mine is fulfilled.

nkjv@John:3:31 @ He who comes from above is above all; he who is of the earth is earthly and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all.

nkjv@John:3:32 @ And what He has seen and heard, that He testifies; and no one receives His testimony.

nkjv@John:3:33 @ He who has received His testimony has certified that God is true.

nkjv@John:3:35 @ The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into His hand.

nkjv@John:4:1 @ Therefore, when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John

nkjv@John:4:2 @ (though Jesus Himself did not baptize, but His disciples),

nkjv@John:4:5 @ So He came to a city of Samaria which is called Sychar, near the plot of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

nkjv@John:4:6 @ Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied from His journey, sat thus by the well. It was about the sixth hour.

nkjv@John:4:8 @ For His disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.

nkjv@John:4:9 @ Then the woman of Samaria said to Him, "How is it that You, being a Jew, ask a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?" For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.

nkjv@John:4:10 @ Jesus answered and said to her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, "Give Me a drink,' you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water."

nkjv@John:4:11 @ The woman said to Him, "Sir, You have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. Where then do You get that living water?

nkjv@John:4:12 @ Are You greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank from it himself, as well as his sons and his livestock?"

nkjv@John:4:13 @ Jesus answered and said to her, "Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again,

nkjv@John:4:15 @ The woman said to Him, "Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come here to draw."

nkjv@John:4:18 @ for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband; in that you spoke truly."

nkjv@John:4:20 @ Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where one ought to worship."

nkjv@John:4:21 @ Jesus said to her, "Woman, believe Me, the hour is coming when you will neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, worship the Father.

nkjv@John:4:22 @ You worship what you do not know; we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews.

nkjv@John:4:23 @ But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.

nkjv@John:4:24 @ God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth."

nkjv@John:4:25 @ The woman said to Him, "I know that Messiah is coming" (who is called Christ). "When He comes, He will tell us all things."

nkjv@John:4:27 @ And at this point His disciples came, and they marveled that He talked with a woman; yet no one said, "What do You seek?" or, "Why are You talking with her?"

nkjv@John:4:29 @ "Come, see a Man who told me all things that I ever did. Could this be the Christ?"

nkjv@John:4:31 @ In the meantime His disciples urged Him, saying, "Rabbi, eat."

nkjv@John:4:33 @ Therefore the disciples said to one another, "Has anyone brought Him anything to eat?"

nkjv@John:4:34 @ Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work.

nkjv@John:4:37 @ For in this the saying is true: "One sows and another reaps.'

nkjv@John:4:41 @ And many more believed because of His own word.

nkjv@John:4:42 @ Then they said to the woman, "Now we believe, not because of what you said, for we ourselves have heard Him and we know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world."

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

nkjv@John:4:47 @ When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to Him and implored Him to come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death.

nkjv@John:4:50 @ Jesus said to him, "Go your way; your son lives." So the man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way.

nkjv@John:4:51 @ And as he was now going down, his servants met him and told him, saying, "Your son lives!"

nkjv@John:4:53 @ So the father knew that it was at the same hour in which Jesus said to him, "Your son lives." And he himself believed, and his whole household.

nkjv@John:4:54 @ This again is the second sign Jesus did when He had come out of Judea into Galilee.

nkjv@John:5:1 @ After this there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

nkjv@John:5:2 @ Now there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate a pool, which is called in Hebrew, Bethesda, having five porches.

nkjv@John:5:4 @ For an angel went down at a certain time into the pool and stirred up the water; then whoever stepped in first, after the stirring of the water, was made well of whatever disease he had.

nkjv@John:5:7 @ The sick man answered Him, "Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; but while I am coming, another steps down before me."

nkjv@John:5:8 @ Jesus said to him, "Rise, take up your bed and walk."

nkjv@John:5:9 @ And immediately the man was made well, took up his bed, and walked. And that day was the Sabbath.

nkjv@John:5:10 @ The Jews therefore said to him who was cured, "It is the Sabbath; it is not lawful for you to carry your bed."

nkjv@John:5:12 @ Then they asked him, "Who is the Man who said to you, "Take up your bed and walk'?"

nkjv@John:5:16 @ For this reason the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to kill Him, because He had done these things on the Sabbath.

nkjv@John:5:18 @ Therefore the Jews sought all the more to kill Him, because He not only broke the Sabbath, but also said that God was His Father, making Himself equal with God.

nkjv@John:5:21 @ For as the Father raises the dead and gives life to them, even so the Son gives life to whom He will.

nkjv@John:5:25 @ Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live.

nkjv@John:5:27 @ and has given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is the Son of Man.

nkjv@John:5:28 @ Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice

nkjv@John:5:30 @ I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me.

nkjv@John:5:31 @ "If I bear witness of Myself, My witness is not true.

nkjv@John:5:32 @ There is another who bears witness of Me, and I know that the witness which He witnesses of Me is true.

nkjv@John:5:35 @ He was the burning and shining lamp, and you were willing for a time to rejoice in his light.

nkjv@John:5:36 @ But I have a greater witness than John's; for the works which the Father has given Me to finish--the very works that I do--bear witness of Me, that the Father has sent Me.

nkjv@John:5:37 @ And the Father Himself, who sent Me, has testified of Me. You have neither heard His voice at any time, nor seen His form.

nkjv@John:5:38 @ But you do not have His word abiding in you, because whom He sent, Him you do not believe.

nkjv@John:5:43 @ I have come in My Father's name, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, him you will receive.

nkjv@John:5:45 @ Do not think that I shall accuse you to the Father; there is one who accuses you--Moses, in whom you trust.

nkjv@John:5:47 @ But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?"

nkjv@John:6:1 @ After these things Jesus went over the Sea of Galilee, which is the Sea of Tiberias.

nkjv@John:6:2 @ Then a great multitude followed Him, because they saw His signs which He performed on those who were diseased.

nkjv@John:6:3 @ And Jesus went up on the mountain, and there He sat with His disciples.

nkjv@John:6:5 @ Then Jesus lifted up His eyes, and seeing a great multitude coming toward Him, He said to Philip, "Where shall we buy bread, that these may eat?"

nkjv@John:6:6 @ But this He said to test him, for He Himself knew what He would do.

nkjv@John:6:7 @ Philip answered Him, "Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may have a little."

nkjv@John:6:8 @ One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to Him,

nkjv@John:6:9 @ "There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two small fish, but what are they among so many?"

nkjv@John:6:11 @ And Jesus took the loaves, and when He had given thanks He distributed them to the disciples, and the disciples to those sitting down; and likewise of the fish, as much as they wanted.

nkjv@John:6:12 @ So when they were filled, He said to His disciples, "Gather up the fragments that remain, so that nothing is lost."

nkjv@John:6:14 @ Then those men, when they had seen the sign that Jesus did, said, "This is truly the Prophet who is to come into the world."

nkjv@John:6:16 @ Now when evening came, His disciples went down to the sea,

nkjv@John:6:20 @ But He said to them, "It is I; do not be afraid."

nkjv@John:6:22 @ On the following day, when the people who were standing on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there, except that one which His disciples had entered, and that Jesus had not entered the boat with His disciples, but His disciples had gone away alone--

nkjv@John:6:24 @ when the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, nor His disciples, they also got into boats and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.

nkjv@John:6:27 @ Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has set His seal on Him."

nkjv@John:6:29 @ Jesus answered and said to them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent."

nkjv@John:6:31 @ Our fathers ate the manna in the desert; as it is written, "He gave them bread from heaven to eat."'

nkjv@John:6:33 @ For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world."

nkjv@John:6:34 @ Then they said to Him, "Lord, give us this bread always."

nkjv@John:6:39 @ This is the will of the Father who sent Me, that of all He has given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day.

nkjv@John:6:40 @ And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day."

nkjv@John:6:42 @ And they said, "Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How is it then that He says, "I have come down from heaven'?"

nkjv@John:6:44 @ No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day.

nkjv@John:6:45 @ It is written in the prophets, "And they shall all be taught by God.' Therefore everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to Me.

nkjv@John:6:46 @ Not that anyone has seen the Father, except He who is from God; He has seen the Father.

nkjv@John:6:50 @ This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that one may eat of it and not die.

nkjv@John:6:51 @ I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread that I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world."

nkjv@John:6:52 @ The Jews therefore quarreled among themselves, saying, "How can this Man give us His flesh to eat?"

nkjv@John:6:53 @ Then Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you.

nkjv@John:6:54 @ Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.

nkjv@John:6:55 @ For My flesh is food indeed, and My blood is drink indeed.

nkjv@John:6:58 @ This is the bread which came down from heaven--not as your fathers ate the manna, and are dead. He who eats this bread will live forever."

nkjv@John:6:60 @ Therefore many of His disciples, when they heard this, said, "This is a hard saying; who can understand it?"

nkjv@John:6:61 @ When Jesus knew in Himself that His disciples complained about this, He said to them, "Does this offend you?

nkjv@John:6:63 @ It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.

nkjv@John:6:66 @ From that time many of His disciples went back and walked with Him no more.

nkjv@John:6:69 @ Also we have come to believe and know that You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."

nkjv@John:6:70 @ Jesus answered them, "Did I not choose you, the twelve, and one of you is a devil?"

nkjv@John:6:71 @ He spoke of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, for it was he who would betray Him, being one of the twelve.

nkjv@John:7:3 @ His brothers therefore said to Him, "Depart from here and go into Judea, that Your disciples also may see the works that You are doing.

nkjv@John:7:5 @ For even His brothers did not believe in Him.

nkjv@John:7:6 @ Then Jesus said to them, "My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.

nkjv@John:7:8 @ You go up to this feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, for My time has not yet fully come."

nkjv@John:7:10 @ But when His brothers had gone up, then He also went up to the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.

nkjv@John:7:11 @ Then the Jews sought Him at the feast, and said, "Where is He?"

nkjv@John:7:12 @ And there was much complaining among the people concerning Him. Some said, "He is good"; others said, "No, on the contrary, He deceives the people."

nkjv@John:7:15 @ And the Jews marveled, saying, "How does this Man know letters, having never studied?"

nkjv@John:7:16 @ Jesus answered them and said, "My doctrine is not Mine, but His who sent Me.

nkjv@John:7:17 @ If anyone wills to do His will, he shall know concerning the doctrine, whether it is from God or whether I speak on My own authority.

nkjv@John:7:18 @ He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who seeks the glory of the One who sent Him is true, and no unrighteousness is in Him.

nkjv@John:7:20 @ The people answered and said, "You have a demon. Who is seeking to kill You?"

nkjv@John:7:22 @ Moses therefore gave you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers), and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath.

nkjv@John:7:23 @ If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath, so that the law of Moses should not be broken, are you angry with Me because I made a man completely well on the Sabbath?

nkjv@John:7:25 @ Now some of them from Jerusalem said, "Is this not He whom they seek to kill?

nkjv@John:7:26 @ But look! He speaks boldly, and they say nothing to Him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is truly the Christ?

nkjv@John:7:27 @ However, we know where this Man is from; but when the Christ comes, no one knows where He is from."

nkjv@John:7:28 @ Then Jesus cried out, as He taught in the temple, saying, "You both know Me, and you know where I am from; and I have not come of Myself, but He who sent Me is true, whom you do not know.

nkjv@John:7:30 @ Therefore they sought to take Him; but no one laid a hand on Him, because His hour had not yet come.

nkjv@John:7:31 @ And many of the people believed in Him, and said, "When the Christ comes, will He do more signs than these which this Man has done?"

nkjv@John:7:32 @ The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things concerning Him, and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take Him.

nkjv@John:7:35 @ Then the Jews said among themselves, "Where does He intend to go that we shall not find Him? Does He intend to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks?

nkjv@John:7:36 @ What is this thing that He said, "You will seek Me and not find Me, and where I am you cannot come'?"

nkjv@John:7:38 @ He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water."

nkjv@John:7:39 @ But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

nkjv@John:7:40 @ Therefore many from the crowd, when they heard this saying, said, "Truly this is the Prophet."

nkjv@John:7:41 @ Others said, "This is the Christ." But some said, "Will the Christ come out of Galilee?

nkjv@John:7:42 @ Has not the Scripture said that the Christ comes from the seed of David and from the town of Bethlehem, where David was?"

nkjv@John:7:43 @ So there was a division among the people because of Him.

nkjv@John:7:45 @ Then the officers came to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, "Why have you not brought Him?"

nkjv@John:7:46 @ The officers answered, "No man ever spoke like this Man!"

nkjv@John:7:47 @ Then the Pharisees answered them, "Are you also deceived?

nkjv@John:7:48 @ Have any of the rulers or the Pharisees believed in Him?

nkjv@John:7:49 @ But this crowd that does not know the law is accursed."

nkjv@John:7:51 @ "Does our law judge a man before it hears him and knows what he is doing?"

nkjv@John:7:52 @ They answered and said to him, "Are you also from Galilee? Search and look, for no prophet has arisen out of Galilee."

nkjv@John:7:53 @ And everyone went to his own house.

nkjv@John:8:3 @ Then the scribes and Pharisees brought to Him a woman caught in adultery. And when they had set her in the midst,

nkjv@John:8:4 @ they said to Him, "Teacher, this woman was caught in adultery, in the very act.

nkjv@John:8:6 @ This they said, testing Him, that they might have something of which to accuse Him. But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with His finger, as though He did not hear.

nkjv@John:8:7 @ So when they continued asking Him, He raised Himself up and said to them, "He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first."

nkjv@John:8:10 @ When Jesus had raised Himself up and saw no one but the woman, He said to her, "Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?"

nkjv@John:8:13 @ The Pharisees therefore said to Him, "You bear witness of Yourself; Your witness is not true."

nkjv@John:8:14 @ Jesus answered and said to them, "Even if I bear witness of Myself, My witness is true, for I know where I came from and where I am going; but you do not know where I come from and where I am going.

nkjv@John:8:16 @ And yet if I do judge, My judgment is true; for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent Me.

nkjv@John:8:17 @ It is also written in your law that the testimony of two men is true.

nkjv@John:8:19 @ Then they said to Him, "Where is Your Father?" Jesus answered, "You know neither Me nor My Father. If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also."

nkjv@John:8:20 @ These words Jesus spoke in the treasury, as He taught in the temple; and no one laid hands on Him, for His hour had not yet come.

nkjv@John:8:23 @ And He said to them, "You are from beneath; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.

nkjv@John:8:26 @ I have many things to say and to judge concerning you, but He who sent Me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I heard from Him."

nkjv@John:8:29 @ And He who sent Me is with Me. The Father has not left Me alone, for I always do those things that please Him."

nkjv@John:8:31 @ Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, "If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed.

nkjv@John:8:34 @ Jesus answered them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin.

nkjv@John:8:39 @ They answered and said to Him, "Abraham is our father." Jesus said to them, "If you were Abraham's children, you would do the works of Abraham.

nkjv@John:8:40 @ But now you seek to kill Me, a Man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. Abraham did not do this.

nkjv@John:8:43 @ Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word.

nkjv@John:8:44 @ You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.

nkjv@John:8:47 @ He who is of God hears God's words; therefore you do not hear, because you are not of God."

nkjv@John:8:49 @ Jesus answered, "I do not have a demon; but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me.

nkjv@John:8:50 @ And I do not seek My own glory; there is One who seeks and judges.

nkjv@John:8:52 @ Then the Jews said to Him, "Now we know that You have a demon! Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and You say, "If anyone keeps My word he shall never taste death.'

nkjv@John:8:53 @ Are You greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? And the prophets are dead. Who do You make Yourself out to be?"

nkjv@John:8:54 @ Jesus answered, "If I honor Myself, My honor is nothing. It is My Father who honors Me, of whom you say that He is your God.

nkjv@John:8:55 @ Yet you have not known Him, but I know Him. And if I say, "I do not know Him,' I shall be a liar like you; but I do know Him and keep His word.

nkjv@John:9:2 @ And His disciples asked Him, saying, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?"

nkjv@John:9:3 @ Jesus answered, "Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but that the works of God should be revealed in him.

nkjv@John:9:4 @ I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work.

nkjv@John:9:7 @ And He said to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam" (which is translated, Sent). So he went and washed, and came back seeing.

nkjv@John:9:8 @ Therefore the neighbors and those who previously had seen that he was blind said, "Is not this he who sat and begged?"

nkjv@John:9:9 @ Some said, "This is he." Others said, "He is like him." He said, "I am he."

nkjv@John:9:12 @ Then they said to him, "Where is He?" He said, "I do not know."

nkjv@John:9:13 @ They brought him who formerly was blind to the Pharisees.

nkjv@John:9:14 @ Now it was a Sabbath when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes.

nkjv@John:9:15 @ Then the Pharisees also asked him again how he had received his sight. He said to them, "He put clay on my eyes, and I washed, and I see."

nkjv@John:9:16 @ Therefore some of the Pharisees said, "This Man is not from God, because He does not keep the Sabbath." Others said, "How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?" And there was a division among them.

nkjv@John:9:17 @ They said to the blind man again, "What do you say about Him because He opened your eyes?" He said, "He is a prophet."

nkjv@John:9:18 @ But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind and received his sight, until they called the parents of him who had received his sight.

nkjv@John:9:19 @ And they asked them, saying, "Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then does he now see?"

nkjv@John:9:20 @ His parents answered them and said, "We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;

nkjv@John:9:21 @ but by what means he now sees we do not know, or who opened his eyes we do not know. He is of age; ask him. He will speak for himself."

nkjv@John:9:22 @ His parents said these things because they feared the Jews, for the Jews had agreed already that if anyone confessed that He was Christ, he would be put out of the synagogue.

nkjv@John:9:23 @ Therefore his parents said, "He is of age; ask him."

nkjv@John:9:24 @ So they again called the man who was blind, and said to him, "Give God the glory! We know that this Man is a sinner."

nkjv@John:9:25 @ He answered and said, "Whether He is a sinner or not I do not know. One thing I know: that though I was blind, now I see."

nkjv@John:9:27 @ He answered them, "I told you already, and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you also want to become His disciples?"

nkjv@John:9:28 @ Then they reviled him and said, "You are His disciple, but we are Moses' disciples.

nkjv@John:9:29 @ We know that God spoke to Moses; as for this fellow, we do not know where He is from."

nkjv@John:9:30 @ The man answered and said to them, "Why, this is a marvelous thing, that you do not know where He is from; yet He has opened my eyes!

nkjv@John:9:31 @ Now we know that God does not hear sinners; but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does His will, He hears him.

nkjv@John:9:33 @ If this Man were not from God, He could do nothing."

nkjv@John:9:36 @ He answered and said, "Who is He, Lord, that I may believe in Him?"

nkjv@John:9:37 @ And Jesus said to him, "You have both seen Him and it is He who is talking with you."

nkjv@John:9:39 @ And Jesus said, "For judgment I have come into this world, that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may be made blind."

nkjv@John:9:40 @ Then some of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these words, and said to Him, "Are we blind also?"

nkjv@John:10:1 @ "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.

nkjv@John:10:2 @ But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

nkjv@John:10:3 @ To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.

nkjv@John:10:4 @ And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.

nkjv@John:10:6 @ Jesus used this illustration, but they did not understand the things which He spoke to them.

nkjv@John:10:11 @ "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep.

nkjv@John:10:12 @ But a hireling, he who is not the shepherd, one who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf catches the sheep and scatters them.

nkjv@John:10:13 @ The hireling flees because he is a hireling and does not care about the sheep.

nkjv@John:10:16 @ And other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they will hear My voice; and there will be one flock and one shepherd.

nkjv@John:10:18 @ No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This command I have received from My Father."

nkjv@John:10:19 @ Therefore there was a division again among the Jews because of these sayings.

nkjv@John:10:20 @ And many of them said, "He has a demon and is mad. Why do you listen to Him?"

nkjv@John:10:24 @ Then the Jews surrounded Him and said to Him, "How long do You keep us in doubt? If You are the Christ, tell us plainly."

nkjv@John:10:28 @ And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.

nkjv@John:10:29 @ My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father's hand.

nkjv@John:10:34 @ Jesus answered them, "Is it not written in your law, "I said, "You are gods"'?

nkjv@John:10:38 @ but if I do, though you do not believe Me, believe the works, that you may know and believe that the Father is in Me, and I in Him."

nkjv@John:10:41 @ Then many came to Him and said, "John performed no sign, but all the things that John spoke about this Man were true."

nkjv@John:11:1 @ Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.

nkjv@John:11:2 @ It was that Mary who anointed the Lord with fragrant oil and wiped His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.

nkjv@John:11:3 @ Therefore the sisters sent to Him, saying, "Lord, behold, he whom You love is sick."

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

nkjv@John:11:5 @ Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.

nkjv@John:11:7 @ Then after this He said to the disciples, "Let us go to Judea again."

nkjv@John:11:8 @ The disciples said to Him, "Rabbi, lately the Jews sought to stone You, and are You going there again?"

nkjv@John:11:9 @ Jesus answered, "Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.

nkjv@John:11:10 @ But if one walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him."

nkjv@John:11:12 @ Then His disciples said, "Lord, if he sleeps he will get well."

nkjv@John:11:13 @ However, Jesus spoke of his death, but they thought that He was speaking about taking rest in sleep.

nkjv@John:11:14 @ Then Jesus said to them plainly, "Lazarus is dead.

nkjv@John:11:16 @ Then Thomas, who is called the Twin, said to his fellow disciples, "Let us also go, that we may die with Him."

nkjv@John:11:23 @ Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise again."

nkjv@John:11:24 @ Martha said to Him, "I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day."

nkjv@John:11:26 @ And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?"

nkjv@John:11:27 @ She said to Him, "Yes, Lord, I believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God, who is to come into the world."

nkjv@John:11:28 @ And when she had said these things, she went her way and secretly called Mary her sister, saying, "The Teacher has come and is calling for you."

nkjv@John:11:31 @ Then the Jews who were with her in the house, and comforting her, when they saw that Mary rose up quickly and went out, followed her, saying, "She is going to the tomb to weep there."

nkjv@John:11:32 @ Then, when Mary came where Jesus was, and saw Him, she fell down at His feet, saying to Him, "Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died."

nkjv@John:11:37 @ And some of them said, "Could not this Man, who opened the eyes of the blind, also have kept this man from dying?"

nkjv@John:11:39 @ Jesus said, "Take away the stone." Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said to Him, "Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days."

nkjv@John:11:41 @ Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying. And Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, "Father, I thank You that You have heard Me.

nkjv@John:11:42 @ And I know that You always hear Me, but because of the people who are standing by I said this, that they may believe that You sent Me."

nkjv@John:11:44 @ And he who had died came out bound hand and foot with graveclothes, and his face was wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, "Loose him, and let him go."

nkjv@John:11:46 @ But some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them the things Jesus did.

nkjv@John:11:47 @ Then the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered a council and said, "What shall we do? For this Man works many signs.

nkjv@John:11:48 @ If we let Him alone like this, everyone will believe in Him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and nation."

nkjv@John:11:50 @ nor do you consider that it is expedient for us that one man should die for the people, and not that the whole nation should perish."

nkjv@John:11:51 @ Now this he did not say on his own authority; but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,

nkjv@John:11:54 @ Therefore Jesus no longer walked openly among the Jews, but went from there into the country near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim, and there remained with His disciples.

nkjv@John:11:57 @ Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a command, that if anyone knew where He was, he should report it, that they might seize Him.

nkjv@John:12:1 @ Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was who had been dead, whom He had raised from the dead.

nkjv@John:12:3 @ Then Mary took a pound of very costly oil of spikenard, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped His feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the oil.

nkjv@John:12:4 @ But one of His disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, who would betray Him, said,

nkjv@John:12:5 @ "Why was this fragrant oil not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?"

nkjv@John:12:6 @ This he said, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the money box; and he used to take what was put in it.

nkjv@John:12:7 @ But Jesus said, "Let her alone; she has kept this for the day of My burial.

nkjv@John:12:9 @ Now a great many of the Jews knew that He was there; and they came, not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might also see Lazarus, whom He had raised from the dead.

nkjv@John:12:13 @ took branches of palm trees and went out to meet Him, and cried out: "Hosanna! "Blessed is He who comes in the name of the LORD!' The King of Israel!"

nkjv@John:12:14 @ Then Jesus, when He had found a young donkey, sat on it; as it is written:

nkjv@John:12:15 @ "Fear not, daughter of Zion; Behold, your King is coming, Sitting on a donkey's colt."

nkjv@John:12:16 @ His disciples did not understand these things at first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written about Him and that they had done these things to Him.

nkjv@John:12:17 @ Therefore the people, who were with Him when He called Lazarus out of his tomb and raised him from the dead, bore witness.

nkjv@John:12:18 @ For this reason the people also met Him, because they heard that He had done this sign.

nkjv@John:12:19 @ The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, "You see that you are accomplishing nothing. Look, the world has gone after Him!"

nkjv@John:12:21 @ Then they came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, "Sir, we wish to see Jesus."

nkjv@John:12:25 @ He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.

nkjv@John:12:27 @ "Now My soul is troubled, and what shall I say? "Father, save Me from this hour'? But for this purpose I came to this hour.

nkjv@John:12:30 @ Jesus answered and said, "This voice did not come because of Me, but for your sake.

nkjv@John:12:31 @ Now is the judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out.

nkjv@John:12:33 @ This He said, signifying by what death He would die.

nkjv@John:12:34 @ The people answered Him, "We have heard from the law that the Christ remains forever; and how can You say, "The Son of Man must be lifted up'? Who is this Son of Man?"

nkjv@John:12:35 @ Then Jesus said to them, "A little while longer the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you; he who walks in darkness does not know where he is going.

nkjv@John:12:38 @ that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke: "Lord, who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?"

nkjv@John:12:39 @ Therefore they could not believe, because Isaiah said again:

nkjv@John:12:41 @ These things Isaiah said when he saw His glory and spoke of Him.

nkjv@John:12:42 @ Nevertheless even among the rulers many believed in Him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess Him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue;

nkjv@John:12:43 @ for they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.

nkjv@John:12:50 @ And I know that His command is everlasting life. Therefore, whatever I speak, just as the Father has told Me, so I speak."

nkjv@John:13:1 @ Now before the Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that His hour had come that He should depart from this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end.

nkjv@John:13:2 @ And supper being ended, the devil having already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray Him,

nkjv@John:13:3 @ Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come from God and was going to God,

nkjv@John:13:4 @ rose from supper and laid aside His garments, took a towel and girded Himself.

nkjv@John:13:5 @ After that, He poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded.

nkjv@John:13:7 @ Jesus answered and said to him, "What I am doing you do not understand now, but you will know after this."

nkjv@John:13:10 @ Jesus said to him, "He who is bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean; and you are clean, but not all of you."

nkjv@John:13:12 @ So when He had washed their feet, taken His garments, and sat down again, He said to them, "Do you know what I have done to you?

nkjv@John:13:16 @ Most assuredly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master; nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him.

nkjv@John:13:22 @ Then the disciples looked at one another, perplexed about whom He spoke.

nkjv@John:13:23 @ Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of His disciples, whom Jesus loved.

nkjv@John:13:25 @ Then, leaning back on Jesus' breast, he said to Him, "Lord, who is it?"

nkjv@John:13:26 @ Jesus answered, "It is he to whom I shall give a piece of bread when I have dipped it." And having dipped the bread, He gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.

nkjv@John:13:28 @ But no one at the table knew for what reason He said this to him.

nkjv@John:13:31 @ So, when he had gone out, Jesus said, "Now the Son of Man is glorified, and God is glorified in Him.

nkjv@John:13:32 @ If God is glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself, and glorify Him immediately.

nkjv@John:13:35 @ By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another."

nkjv@John:14:8 @ Philip said to Him, "Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us."

nkjv@John:14:21 @ He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him."

nkjv@John:14:22 @ Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, "Lord, how is it that You will manifest Yourself to us, and not to the world?"

nkjv@John:14:24 @ He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father's who sent Me.

nkjv@John:14:28 @ You have heard Me say to you, "I am going away and coming back to you.' If you loved Me, you would rejoice because I said, "I am going to the Father,' for My Father is greater than I.

nkjv@John:14:30 @ I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in Me.

nkjv@John:15:10 @ If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love.

nkjv@John:15:13 @ Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends.

nkjv@John:15:15 @ No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you.

nkjv@John:15:20 @ Remember the word that I said to you, "A servant is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will keep yours also.

nkjv@John:16:30 @ Now we are sure that You know all things, and have no need that anyone should question You. By this we believe that You came forth from God."

nkjv@John:16:32 @ Indeed the hour is coming, yes, has now come, that you will be scattered, each to his own, and will leave Me alone. And yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me.

nkjv@John:17:1 @ Jesus spoke these words, lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said: "Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You,

nkjv@John:17:17 @ Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth.

nkjv@John:18:1 @ When Jesus had spoken these words, He went out with His disciples over the Brook Kidron, where there was a garden, which He and His disciples entered.

nkjv@John:18:2 @ And Judas, who betrayed Him, also knew the place; for Jesus often met there with His disciples.

nkjv@John:18:3 @ Then Judas, having received a detachment of troops, and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.

nkjv@John:18:10 @ Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.

nkjv@John:18:14 @ Now it was Caiaphas who advised the Jews that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.

nkjv@John:18:15 @ And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple. Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and went with Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest.

nkjv@John:18:16 @ But Peter stood at the door outside. Then the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to her who kept the door, and brought Peter in.

nkjv@John:18:17 @ Then the servant girl who kept the door said to Peter, "You are not also one of this Man's disciples, are you?" He said, "I am not."

nkjv@John:18:19 @ The high priest then asked Jesus about His disciples and His doctrine.

nkjv@John:18:22 @ And when He had said these things, one of the officers who stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, "Do You answer the high priest like that?"

nkjv@John:18:25 @ Now Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. Therefore they said to him, "You are not also one of His disciples, are you?" He denied it and said, "I am not!"

nkjv@John:18:29 @ Pilate then went out to them and said, "What accusation do you bring against this Man?"

nkjv@John:18:31 @ Then Pilate said to them, "You take Him and judge Him according to your law." Therefore the Jews said to him, "It is not lawful for us to put anyone to death,"

nkjv@John:18:34 @ Jesus answered him, "Are you speaking for yourself about this, or did others tell you this concerning Me?"

nkjv@John:18:36 @ Jesus answered, "My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now My kingdom is not from here."

nkjv@John:18:37 @ Pilate therefore said to Him, "Are You a king then?" Jesus answered, "You say rightly that I am a king. For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice."

nkjv@John:18:38 @ Pilate said to Him, "What is truth?" And when he had said this, he went out again to the Jews, and said to them, "I find no fault in Him at all.

nkjv@John:18:40 @ Then they all cried again, saying, "Not this Man, but Barabbas!" Now Barabbas was a robber.

nkjv@John:19:2 @ And the soldiers twisted a crown of thorns and put it on His head, and they put on Him a purple robe.

nkjv@John:19:12 @ From then on Pilate sought to release Him, but the Jews cried out, saying, "If you let this Man go, you are not Caesar's friend. Whoever makes himself a king speaks against Caesar."

nkjv@John:19:13 @ When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus out and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called The Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha.

nkjv@John:19:17 @ And He, bearing His cross, went out to a place called the Place of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha,

nkjv@John:19:20 @ Then many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin.

nkjv@John:19:23 @ Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took His garments and made four parts, to each soldier a part, and also the tunic. Now the tunic was without seam, woven from the top in one piece.

nkjv@John:19:25 @ Now there stood by the cross of Jesus His mother, and His mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.

nkjv@John:19:26 @ When Jesus therefore saw His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing by, He said to His mother, "Woman, behold your son!"

nkjv@John:19:27 @ Then He said to the disciple, "Behold your mother!" And from that hour that disciple took her to his own home.

nkjv@John:19:28 @ After this, Jesus, knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, "I thirst!"

nkjv@John:19:29 @ Now a vessel full of sour wine was sitting there; and they filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on hyssop, and put it to His mouth.

nkjv@John:19:30 @ So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, "It is finished!" And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit.

nkjv@John:19:33 @ But when they came to Jesus and saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs.

nkjv@John:19:34 @ But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.

nkjv@John:19:35 @ And he who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true; and he knows that he is telling the truth, so that you may believe.

nkjv@John:19:36 @ For these things were done that the Scripture should be fulfilled, "Not one of His bones shall be broken."

nkjv@John:19:38 @ After this, Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly, for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate gave him permission. So he came and took the body of Jesus.

nkjv@John:19:40 @ Then they took the body of Jesus, and bound it in strips of linen with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury.

nkjv@John:20:2 @ Then she ran and came to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and said to them, "They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid Him."

nkjv@John:20:9 @ For as yet they did not know the Scripture, that He must rise again from the dead.

nkjv@John:20:10 @ Then the disciples went away again to their own homes.

nkjv@John:20:14 @ Now when she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, and did not know that it was Jesus.

nkjv@John:20:16 @ Jesus said to her, "Mary!" She turned and said to Him, "Rabboni!" (which is to say, Teacher).

nkjv@John:20:18 @ Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that He had spoken these things to her.

nkjv@John:20:19 @ Then, the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them, "Peace be with you."

nkjv@John:20:20 @ When He had said this, He showed them His hands and His side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord.

nkjv@John:20:22 @ And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit.

nkjv@John:20:25 @ The other disciples therefore said to him, "We have seen the Lord." So he said to them, "Unless I see in His hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe."

nkjv@John:20:26 @ And after eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, "Peace to you!"

nkjv@John:20:30 @ And truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book;

nkjv@John:20:31 @ but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name.

nkjv@John:21:1 @ After these things Jesus showed Himself again to the disciples at the Sea of Tiberias, and in this way He showed Himself:

nkjv@John:21:2 @ Simon Peter, Thomas called the Twin, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two others of His disciples were together.

nkjv@John:21:3 @ Simon Peter said to them, "I am going fishing." They said to him, "We are going with you also." They went out and immediately got into the boat, and that night they caught nothing.

nkjv@John:21:4 @ But when the morning had now come, Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.

nkjv@John:21:6 @ And He said to them, "Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some." So they cast, and now they were not able to draw it in because of the multitude of fish.

nkjv@John:21:7 @ Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It is the Lord!" Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment (for he had removed it), and plunged into the sea.

nkjv@John:21:8 @ But the other disciples came in the little boat (for they were not far from land, but about two hundred cubits), dragging the net with fish.

nkjv@John:21:9 @ Then, as soon as they had come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid on it, and bread.

nkjv@John:21:10 @ Jesus said to them, "Bring some of the fish which you have just caught."

nkjv@John:21:11 @ Simon Peter went up and dragged the net to land, full of large fish, one hundred and fifty-three; and although there were so many, the net was not broken.

nkjv@John:21:12 @ Jesus said to them, "Come and eat breakfast." Yet none of the disciples dared ask Him, "Who are You?"--knowing that it was the Lord.

nkjv@John:21:13 @ Jesus then came and took the bread and gave it to them, and likewise the fish.

nkjv@John:21:14 @ This is now the third time Jesus showed Himself to His disciples after He was raised from the dead.

nkjv@John:21:18 @ Most assuredly, I say to you, when you were younger, you girded yourself and walked where you wished; but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will gird you and carry you where you do not wish."

nkjv@John:21:19 @ This He spoke, signifying by what death he would glorify God. And when He had spoken this, He said to him, "Follow Me."

nkjv@John:21:20 @ Then Peter, turning around, saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following, who also had leaned on His breast at the supper, and said, "Lord, who is the one who betrays You?"

nkjv@John:21:21 @ Peter, seeing him, said to Jesus, "But Lord, what about this man?"

nkjv@John:21:22 @ Jesus said to him, "If I will that he remain till I come, what is that to you? You follow Me."

nkjv@John:21:23 @ Then this saying went out among the brethren that this disciple would not die. Yet Jesus did not say to him that he would not die, but, "If I will that he remain till I come, what is that to you?"

nkjv@Acts:1:18 @ (Now this man purchased a field with the wages of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst open in the middle and all his entrails gushed out.

nkjv@Acts:1:19 @ And it became known to all those dwelling in Jerusalem; so that field is called in their own language, Akel Dama, that is, Field of Blood.)

nkjv@Acts:1:20 @ "For it is written in the Book of Psalms: "Let his dwelling place be desolate, And let no one live in it'; and, "Let another take his office.'

nkjv@Acts:2:6 @ And when this sound occurred, the multitude came together, and were confused, because everyone heard them speak in his own language.

nkjv@Acts:2:8 @ And how is it that we hear, each in our own language in which we were born?

nkjv@Acts:2:10 @ Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya adjoining Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes,

nkjv@Acts:2:12 @ So they were all amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, "Whatever could this mean?"

nkjv@Acts:2:14 @ But Peter, standing up with the eleven, raised his voice and said to them, "Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and heed my words.

nkjv@Acts:2:24 @ whom God raised up, having loosed the pains of death, because it was not possible that He should be held by it.

nkjv@Acts:2:31 @ he, foreseeing this, spoke concerning the resurrection of the Christ, that His soul was not left in Hades, nor did His flesh see corruption.

nkjv@Acts:2:32 @ This Jesus God has raised up, of which we are all witnesses.

nkjv@Acts:2:33 @ Therefore being exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He poured out this which you now see and hear.

nkjv@Acts:2:36 @ "Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ."

nkjv@Acts:2:37 @ Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, "Men and brethren, what shall we do?"

nkjv@Acts:2:38 @ Then Peter said to them, "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

nkjv@Acts:2:39 @ For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call."

nkjv@Acts:3:7 @ And he took him by the right hand and lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.

nkjv@Acts:3:8 @ So he, leaping up, stood and walked and entered the temple with them--walking, leaping, and praising God.

nkjv@Acts:3:9 @ And all the people saw him walking and praising God.

nkjv@Acts:3:11 @ Now as the lame man who was healed held on to Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the porch which is called Solomon's, greatly amazed.

nkjv@Acts:3:12 @ So when Peter saw it, he responded to the people: "Men of Israel, why do you marvel at this? Or why look so intently at us, as though by our own power or godliness we had made this man walk?

nkjv@Acts:10:32 @ Send therefore to Joppa and call Simon here, whose surname is Peter. He is lodging in the house of Simon, a tanner, by the sea. When he comes, he will speak to you.'

nkjv@Acts:10:34 @ Then Peter opened his mouth and said: "In truth I perceive that God shows no partiality.

nkjv@Acts:10:35 @ But in every nation whoever fears Him and works righteousness is accepted by Him.

nkjv@Acts:10:36 @ The word which God sent to the children of Israel, preaching peace through Jesus Christ--He is Lord of all--

nkjv@Acts:10:37 @ that word you know, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, and began from Galilee after the baptism which John preached:

nkjv@Acts:10:40 @ Him God raised up on the third day, and showed Him openly,

nkjv@Acts:10:42 @ And He commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that it is He who was ordained by God to be Judge of the living and the dead.

nkjv@Acts:10:43 @ To Him all the prophets witness that, through His name, whoever believes in Him will receive remission of sins."

nkjv@Acts:10:45 @ And those of the circumcision who believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out on the Gentiles also.

nkjv@Acts:11:2 @ And when Peter came up to Jerusalem, those of the circumcision contended with him,

nkjv@Acts:11:3 @ saying, "You went in to uncircumcised men and ate with them!"

nkjv@Acts:11:5 @ "I was in the city of Joppa praying; and in a trance I saw a vision, an object descending like a great sheet, let down from heaven by four corners; and it came to me.

nkjv@Acts:11:7 @ And I heard a voice saying to me, "Rise, Peter; kill and eat.'

nkjv@Acts:11:10 @ Now this was done three times, and all were drawn up again into heaven.

nkjv@Acts:11:13 @ And he told us how he had seen an angel standing in his house, who said to him, "Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon whose surname is Peter,

nkjv@Acts:11:17 @ If therefore God gave them the same gift as He gave us when we believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I that I could withstand God?"

nkjv@Acts:11:20 @ But some of them were men from Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Hellenists, preaching the Lord Jesus.

nkjv@Acts:11:26 @ And when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. So it was that for a whole year they assembled with the church and taught a great many people. And the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.

nkjv@Acts:11:29 @ Then the disciples, each according to his ability, determined to send relief to the brethren dwelling in Judea.

nkjv@Acts:11:30 @ This they also did, and sent it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.

nkjv@Acts:12:1 @ Now about that time Herod the king stretched out his hand to harass some from the church.

nkjv@Acts:12:4 @ So when he had arrested him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four squads of soldiers to keep him, intending to bring him before the people after Passover.

nkjv@Acts:12:5 @ Peter was therefore kept in prison, but constant prayer was offered to God for him by the church.

nkjv@Acts:12:6 @ And when Herod was about to bring him out, that night Peter was sleeping, bound with two chains between two soldiers; and the guards before the door were keeping the prison.

nkjv@Acts:12:7 @ Now behold, an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shone in the prison; and he struck Peter on the side and raised him up, saying, "Arise quickly!" And his chains fell off his hands.

nkjv@Acts:12:9 @ So he went out and followed him, and did not know that what was done by the angel was real, but thought he was seeing a vision.

nkjv@Acts:12:11 @ And when Peter had come to himself, he said, "Now I know for certain that the Lord has sent His angel, and has delivered me from the hand of Herod and from all the expectation of the Jewish people."

nkjv@Acts:12:12 @ So, when he had considered this, he came to the house of Mary, the mother of John whose surname was Mark, where many were gathered together praying.

nkjv@Acts:12:15 @ But they said to her, "You are beside yourself!" Yet she kept insisting that it was so. So they said, "It is his angel."

nkjv@Acts:12:16 @ Now Peter continued knocking; and when they opened the door and saw him, they were astonished.

nkjv@Acts:12:17 @ But motioning to them with his hand to keep silent, he declared to them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, "Go, tell these things to James and to the brethren." And he departed and went to another place.

nkjv@Acts:12:21 @ So on a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat on his throne and gave an oration to them.

nkjv@Acts:12:25 @ And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem when they had fulfilled their ministry, and they also took with them John whose surname was Mark.

nkjv@Acts:13:2 @ As they ministered to the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, "Now separate to Me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them."

nkjv@Acts:13:5 @ And when they arrived in Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews. They also had John as their assistant.

nkjv@Acts:13:6 @ Now when they had gone through the island to Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew whose name was Bar-Jesus,

nkjv@Acts:13:7 @ who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man. This man called for Barnabas and Saul and sought to hear the word of God.

nkjv@Acts:13:8 @ But Elymas the sorcerer (for so his name is translated) withstood them, seeking to turn the proconsul away from the faith.

nkjv@Acts:13:9 @ Then Saul, who also is called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked intently at him

nkjv@Acts:13:11 @ And now, indeed, the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you shall be blind, not seeing the sun for a time." And immediately a dark mist fell on him, and he went around seeking someone to lead him by the hand.

nkjv@Acts:13:12 @ Then the proconsul believed, when he saw what had been done, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.

nkjv@Acts:13:13 @ Now when Paul and his party set sail from Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia; and John, departing from them, returned to Jerusalem.

nkjv@Acts:13:14 @ But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day and sat down.

nkjv@Acts:13:16 @ Then Paul stood up, and motioning with his hand said, "Men of Israel, and you who fear God, listen:

nkjv@Acts:13:17 @ The God of this people Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they dwelt as strangers in the land of Egypt, and with an uplifted arm He brought them out of it.

nkjv@Acts:13:19 @ And when He had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, He distributed their land to them by allotment.

nkjv@Acts:13:21 @ And afterward they asked for a king; so God gave them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years.

nkjv@Acts:13:22 @ And when He had removed him, He raised up for them David as king, to whom also He gave testimony and said, "I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after My own heart, who will do all My will.'

nkjv@Acts:13:23 @ From this man's seed, according to the promise, God raised up for Israel a Savior--Jesus--

nkjv@Acts:13:24 @ after John had first preached, before His coming, the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.

nkjv@Acts:13:25 @ And as John was finishing his course, he said, "Who do you think I am? I am not He. But behold, there comes One after me, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to loose.'

nkjv@Acts:13:26 @ "Men and brethren, sons of the family of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, to you the word of this salvation has been sent.

nkjv@Acts:13:30 @ But God raised Him from the dead.

nkjv@Acts:13:31 @ He was seen for many days by those who came up with Him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are His witnesses to the people.

nkjv@Acts:13:32 @ And we declare to you glad tidings--that promise which was made to the fathers.

nkjv@Acts:13:33 @ God has fulfilled this for us their children, in that He has raised up Jesus. As it is also written in the second Psalm: "You are My Son, Today I have begotten You.'

nkjv@Acts:13:34 @ And that He raised Him from the dead, no more to return to corruption, He has spoken thus: "I will give you the sure mercies of David.'

nkjv@Acts:13:36 @ "For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell asleep, was buried with his fathers, and saw corruption;

nkjv@Acts:13:37 @ but He whom God raised up saw no corruption.

nkjv@Acts:13:48 @ Now when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and glorified the word of the Lord. And as many as had been appointed to eternal life believed.

nkjv@Acts:13:50 @ But the Jews stirred up the devout and prominent women and the chief men of the city, raised up persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them from their region.

nkjv@Acts:13:52 @ And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.

nkjv@Acts:14:2 @ But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles and poisoned their minds against the brethren.

nkjv@Acts:14:3 @ Therefore they stayed there a long time, speaking boldly in the Lord, who was bearing witness to the word of His grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands.

nkjv@Acts:14:8 @ And in Lystra a certain man without strength in his feet was sitting, a cripple from his mother's womb, who had never walked.

nkjv@Acts:14:9 @ This man heard Paul speaking. Paul, observing him intently and seeing that he had faith to be healed,

nkjv@Acts:14:11 @ Now when the people saw what Paul had done, they raised their voices, saying in the Lycaonian language, "The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men!"

nkjv@Acts:14:14 @ But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard this, they tore their clothes and ran in among the multitude, crying out

nkjv@Acts:14:20 @ However, when the disciples gathered around him, he rose up and went into the city. And the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe.

nkjv@Acts:14:21 @ And when they had preached the gospel to that city and made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch,

nkjv@Acts:14:22 @ strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and saying, "We must through many tribulations enter the kingdom of God."

nkjv@Acts:14:24 @ And after they had passed through Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia.

nkjv@Acts:14:28 @ So they stayed there a long time with the disciples.

nkjv@Acts:15:1 @ And certain men came down from Judea and taught the brethren, "Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved."

nkjv@Acts:15:2 @ Therefore, when Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and dispute with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas and certain others of them should go up to Jerusalem, to the apostles and elders, about this question.

nkjv@Acts:15:5 @ But some of the sect of the Pharisees who believed rose up, saying, "It is necessary to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses."

nkjv@Acts:15:6 @ Now the apostles and elders came together to consider this matter.

nkjv@Acts:15:7 @ And when there had been much dispute, Peter rose up and said to them: "Men and brethren, you know that a good while ago God chose among us, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel and believe.

nkjv@Acts:15:9 @ and made no distinction between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.

nkjv@Acts:15:10 @ Now therefore, why do you test God by putting a yoke on the neck of the disciples which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?

nkjv@Acts:15:11 @ But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved in the same manner as they."

nkjv@Acts:15:12 @ Then all the multitude kept silent and listened to Barnabas and Paul declaring how many miracles and wonders God had worked through them among the Gentiles.

nkjv@Acts:15:13 @ And after they had become silent, James answered, saying, "Men and brethren, listen to me:

nkjv@Acts:15:14 @ Simon has declared how God at the first visited the Gentiles to take out of them a people for His name.

nkjv@Acts:15:15 @ And with this the words of the prophets agree, just as it is written:

nkjv@Acts:15:16 @ 'After this I will return And will rebuild the tabernacle of David, which has fallen down; I will rebuild its ruins, And I will set it up;

nkjv@Acts:15:24 @ Since we have heard that some who went out from us have troubled you with words, unsettling your souls, saying, "You must be circumcised and keep the law" --to whom we gave no such commandment--

nkjv@Acts:15:26 @ men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

nkjv@Acts:15:36 @ Then after some days Paul said to Barnabas, "Let us now go back and visit our brethren in every city where we have preached the word of the Lord, and see how they are doing."

nkjv@Acts:15:38 @ But Paul insisted that they should not take with them the one who had departed from them in Pamphylia, and had not gone with them to the work.

nkjv@Acts:16:1 @ Then he came to Derbe and Lystra. And behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a certain Jewish woman who believed, but his father was Greek.

nkjv@Acts:16:3 @ Paul wanted to have him go on with him. And he took him and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in that region, for they all knew that his father was Greek.

nkjv@Acts:16:9 @ And a vision appeared to Paul in the night. A man of Macedonia stood and pleaded with him, saying, "Come over to Macedonia and help us."

nkjv@Acts:16:10 @ Now after he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to preach the gospel to them.

nkjv@Acts:16:11 @ Therefore, sailing from Troas, we ran a straight course to Samothrace, and the next day came to Neapolis,

nkjv@Acts:16:12 @ and from there to Philippi, which is the foremost city of that part of Macedonia, a colony. And we were staying in that city for some days.

nkjv@Acts:16:17 @ This girl followed Paul and us, and cried out, saying, "These men are the servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation."

nkjv@Acts:16:18 @ And this she did for many days. But Paul, greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, "I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her." And he came out that very hour.

nkjv@Acts:16:20 @ And they brought them to the magistrates, and said, "These men, being Jews, exceedingly trouble our city;

nkjv@Acts:16:22 @ Then the multitude rose up together against them; and the magistrates tore off their clothes and commanded them to be beaten with rods.

nkjv@Acts:16:23 @ And when they had laid many stripes on them, they threw them into prison, commanding the jailer to keep them securely.

nkjv@Acts:16:24 @ Having received such a charge, he put them into the inner prison and fastened their feet in the stocks.

nkjv@Acts:16:25 @ But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.

nkjv@Acts:16:26 @ Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone's chains were loosed.

nkjv@Acts:16:27 @ And the keeper of the prison, awaking from sleep and seeing the prison doors open, supposing the prisoners had fled, drew his sword and was about to kill himself.

nkjv@Acts:16:31 @ So they said, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household."

nkjv@Acts:16:32 @ Then they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house.

nkjv@Acts:16:33 @ And he took them the same hour of the night and washed their stripes. And immediately he and all his family were baptized.

nkjv@Acts:16:34 @ Now when he had brought them into his house, he set food before them; and he rejoiced, having believed in God with all his household.

nkjv@Acts:16:35 @ And when it was day, the magistrates sent the officers, saying, "Let those men go."

nkjv@Acts:16:36 @ So the keeper of the prison reported these words to Paul, saying, "The magistrates have sent to let you go. Now therefore depart, and go in peace."

nkjv@Acts:16:37 @ But Paul said to them, "They have beaten us openly, uncondemned Romans, and have thrown us into prison. And now do they put us out secretly? No indeed! Let them come themselves and get us out."

nkjv@Acts:16:38 @ And the officers told these words to the magistrates, and they were afraid when they heard that they were Romans.

nkjv@Acts:16:40 @ So they went out of the prison and entered the house of Lydia; and when they had seen the brethren, they encouraged them and departed.

nkjv@Acts:17:1 @ Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews.

nkjv@Acts:17:2 @ Then Paul, as his custom was, went in to them, and for three Sabbaths reasoned with them from the Scriptures,

nkjv@Acts:17:3 @ explaining and demonstrating that the Christ had to suffer and rise again from the dead, and saying, "This Jesus whom I preach to you is the Christ."

nkjv@Acts:17:7 @ Jason has harbored them, and these are all acting contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying there is another king--Jesus."

nkjv@Acts:17:16 @ Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him when he saw that the city was given over to idols.

nkjv@Acts:17:18 @ Then certain Epicurean and Stoic philosophers encountered him. And some said, "What does this babbler want to say?" Others said, "He seems to be a proclaimer of foreign gods," because he preached to them Jesus and the resurrection.

nkjv@Acts:17:19 @ And they took him and brought him to the Areopagus, saying, "May we know what this new doctrine is of which you speak?

nkjv@Acts:17:23 @ for as I was passing through and considering the objects of your worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Therefore, the One whom you worship without knowing, Him I proclaim to you:

nkjv@Acts:17:24 @ God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands.

nkjv@Acts:17:25 @ Nor is He worshiped with men's hands, as though He needed anything, since He gives to all life, breath, and all things.

nkjv@Acts:17:27 @ so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us;

nkjv@Acts:17:28 @ for in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, "For we are also His offspring.'

nkjv@Acts:17:29 @ Therefore, since we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold or silver or stone, something shaped by art and man's devising.

nkjv@Acts:17:31 @ because He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained. He has given assurance of this to all by raising Him from the dead."

nkjv@Acts:17:32 @ And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked, while others said, "We will hear you again on this matter."

nkjv@Acts:17:34 @ However, some men joined him and believed, among them Dionysius the Areopagite, a woman named Damaris, and others with them.

nkjv@Acts:18:2 @ And he found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla (because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome); and he came to them.

nkjv@Acts:18:5 @ When Silas and Timothy had come from Macedonia, Paul was compelled by the Spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ.

nkjv@Acts:18:6 @ But when they opposed him and blasphemed, he shook his garments and said to them, "Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean. From now on I will go to the Gentiles."

nkjv@Acts:18:8 @ Then Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his household. And many of the Corinthians, hearing, believed and were baptized.

nkjv@Acts:18:9 @ Now the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision, "Do not be afraid, but speak, and do not keep silent;

nkjv@Acts:18:10 @ for I am with you, and no one will attack you to hurt you; for I have many people in this city."

nkjv@Acts:18:13 @ saying, "This fellow persuades men to worship God contrary to the law."

nkjv@Acts:18:14 @ And when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, "If it were a matter of wrongdoing or wicked crimes, O Jews, there would be reason why I should bear with you.

nkjv@Acts:18:15 @ But if it is a question of words and names and your own law, look to it yourselves; for I do not want to be a judge of such matters."

nkjv@Acts:18:18 @ So Paul still remained a good while. Then he took leave of the brethren and sailed for Syria, and Priscilla and Aquila were with him. He had his hair cut off at Cenchrea, for he had taken a vow.

nkjv@Acts:18:21 @ but took leave of them, saying, "I must by all means keep this coming feast in Jerusalem; but I will return again to you, God willing." And he sailed from Ephesus.

nkjv@Acts:18:23 @ After he had spent some time there, he departed and went over the region of Galatia and Phrygia in order, strengthening all the disciples.

nkjv@Acts:18:25 @ This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things of the Lord, though he knew only the baptism of John.

nkjv@Acts:18:26 @ So he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. When Aquila and Priscilla heard him, they took him aside and explained to him the way of God more accurately.

nkjv@Acts:18:27 @ And when he desired to cross to Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him; and when he arrived, he greatly helped those who had believed through grace;

nkjv@Acts:18:28 @ for he vigorously refuted the Jews publicly, showing from the Scriptures that Jesus is the Christ.

nkjv@Acts:19:1 @ And it happened, while Apollos was at Corinth, that Paul, having passed through the upper regions, came to Ephesus. And finding some disciples

nkjv@Acts:19:2 @ he said to them, "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?" So they said to him, "We have not so much as heard whether there is a Holy Spirit."

nkjv@Acts:19:3 @ And he said to them, "Into what then were you baptized?" So they said, "Into John's baptism."

nkjv@Acts:19:4 @ Then Paul said, "John indeed baptized with a baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe on Him who would come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus."

nkjv@Acts:19:5 @ When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

nkjv@Acts:19:9 @ But when some were hardened and did not believe, but spoke evil of the Way before the multitude, he departed from them and withdrew the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of Tyrannus.

nkjv@Acts:19:10 @ And this continued for two years, so that all who dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.

nkjv@Acts:19:12 @ so that even handkerchiefs or aprons were brought from his body to the sick, and the diseases left them and the evil spirits went out of them.

nkjv@Acts:19:13 @ Then some of the itinerant Jewish exorcists took it upon themselves to call the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying, "We exorcise you by the Jesus whom Paul preaches."

nkjv@Acts:19:14 @ Also there were seven sons of Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, who did so.

nkjv@Acts:19:17 @ This became known both to all Jews and Greeks dwelling in Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.

nkjv@Acts:19:21 @ When these things were accomplished, Paul purposed in the Spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, "After I have been there, I must also see Rome."

nkjv@Acts:19:22 @ So he sent into Macedonia two of those who ministered to him, Timothy and Erastus, but he himself stayed in Asia for a time.

nkjv@Acts:19:25 @ He called them together with the workers of similar occupation, and said: "Men, you know that we have our prosperity by this trade.

nkjv@Acts:19:26 @ Moreover you see and hear that not only at Ephesus, but throughout almost all Asia, this Paul has persuaded and turned away many people, saying that they are not gods which are made with hands.

nkjv@Acts:19:27 @ So not only is this trade of ours in danger of falling into disrepute, but also the temple of the great goddess Diana may be despised and her magnificence destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worship."

nkjv@Acts:19:28 @ Now when they heard this, they were full of wrath and cried out, saying, "Great is Diana of the Ephesians!"

nkjv@Acts:19:29 @ So the whole city was filled with confusion, and rushed into the theater with one accord, having seized Gaius and Aristarchus, Macedonians, Paul's travel companions.

nkjv@Acts:19:30 @ And when Paul wanted to go in to the people, the disciples would not allow him.

nkjv@Acts:19:31 @ Then some of the officials of Asia, who were his friends, sent to him pleading that he would not venture into the theater.

nkjv@Acts:19:33 @ And they drew Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting him forward. And Alexander motioned with his hand, and wanted to make his defense to the people.

nkjv@Acts:19:34 @ But when they found out that he was a Jew, all with one voice cried out for about two hours, "Great is Diana of the Ephesians!"

nkjv@Acts:19:35 @ And when the city clerk had quieted the crowd, he said: "Men of Ephesus, what man is there who does not know that the city of the Ephesians is temple guardian of the great goddess Diana, and of the image which fell down from Zeus?

nkjv@Acts:19:38 @ Therefore, if Demetrius and his fellow craftsmen have a case against anyone, the courts are open and there are proconsuls. Let them bring charges against one another.

nkjv@Acts:19:40 @ For we are in danger of being called in question for today's uproar, there being no reason which we may give to account for this disorderly gathering."

nkjv@Acts:19:41 @ And when he had said these things, he dismissed the assembly.

nkjv@Acts:20:1 @ After the uproar had ceased, Paul called the disciples to himself, embraced them, and departed to go to Macedonia.

nkjv@Acts:20:4 @ And Sopater of Berea accompanied him to Asia--also Aristarchus and Secundus of the Thessalonians, and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy, and Tychicus and Trophimus of Asia.

nkjv@Acts:20:7 @ Now on the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul, ready to depart the next day, spoke to them and continued his message until midnight.

nkjv@Acts:20:10 @ But Paul went down, fell on him, and embracing him said, "Do not trouble yourselves, for his life is in him."

nkjv@Acts:20:29 @ For I know this, that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock.

nkjv@Acts:20:30 @ Also from among yourselves men will rise up, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after themselves.

nkjv@Acts:20:32 @ "So now, brethren, I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified.

nkjv@Acts:20:35 @ I have shown you in every way, by laboring like this, that you must support the weak. And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, "It is more blessed to give than to receive."'

nkjv@Acts:20:37 @ Then they all wept freely, and fell on Paul's neck and kissed him,

nkjv@Acts:20:38 @ sorrowing most of all for the words which he spoke, that they would see his face no more. And they accompanied him to the ship.

nkjv@Acts:21:4 @ And finding disciples, we stayed there seven days. They told Paul through the Spirit not to go up to Jerusalem.

nkjv@Acts:21:7 @ And when we had finished our voyage from Tyre, we came to Ptolemais, greeted the brethren, and stayed with them one day.

nkjv@Acts:21:8 @ On the next day we who were Paul's companions departed and came to Caesarea, and entered the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, and stayed with him.

nkjv@Acts:21:9 @ Now this man had four virgin daughters who prophesied.

nkjv@Acts:21:11 @ When he had come to us, he took Paul's belt, bound his own hands and feet, and said, "Thus says the Holy Spirit, "So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man who owns this belt, and deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles."'

nkjv@Acts:21:16 @ Also some of the disciples from Caesarea went with us and brought with them a certain Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we were to lodge.

nkjv@Acts:21:19 @ When he had greeted them, he told in detail those things which God had done among the Gentiles through his ministry.

nkjv@Acts:21:21 @ but they have been informed about you that you teach all the Jews who are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, saying that they ought not to circumcise their children nor to walk according to the customs.

nkjv@Acts:21:28 @ crying out, "Men of Israel, help! This is the man who teaches all men everywhere against the people, the law, and this place; and furthermore he also brought Greeks into the temple and has defiled this holy place."

nkjv@Acts:21:30 @ And all the city was disturbed; and the people ran together, seized Paul, and dragged him out of the temple; and immediately the doors were shut.

nkjv@Acts:21:31 @ Now as they were seeking to kill him, news came to the commander of the garrison that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.

nkjv@Acts:21:40 @ So when he had given him permission, Paul stood on the stairs and motioned with his hand to the people. And when there was a great silence, he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, saying,

nkjv@Acts:22:3 @ "I am indeed a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, taught according to the strictness of our fathers' law, and was zealous toward God as you all are today.

nkjv@Acts:22:4 @ I persecuted this Way to the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women,

nkjv@Acts:22:5 @ as also the high priest bears me witness, and all the council of the elders, from whom I also received letters to the brethren, and went to Damascus to bring in chains even those who were there to Jerusalem to be punished.

nkjv@Acts:22:10 @ So I said, "What shall I do, Lord?' And the Lord said to me, "Arise and go into Damascus, and there you will be told all things which are appointed for you to do.'

nkjv@Acts:22:14 @ Then he said, "The God of our fathers has chosen you that you should know His will, and see the Just One, and hear the voice of His mouth.

nkjv@Acts:22:15 @ For you will be His witness to all men of what you have seen and heard.

nkjv@Acts:22:16 @ And now why are you waiting? Arise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord.'

nkjv@Acts:22:19 @ So I said, "Lord, they know that in every synagogue I imprisoned and beat those who believe on You.

nkjv@Acts:22:20 @ And when the blood of Your martyr Stephen was shed, I also was standing by consenting to his death, and guarding the clothes of those who were killing him.'

nkjv@Acts:22:22 @ And they listened to him until this word, and then they raised their voices and said, "Away with such a fellow from the earth, for he is not fit to live!"

nkjv@Acts:22:25 @ And as they bound him with thongs, Paul said to the centurion who stood by, "Is it lawful for you to scourge a man who is a Roman, and uncondemned?"

nkjv@Acts:22:26 @ When the centurion heard that, he went and told the commander, saying, "Take care what you do, for this man is a Roman."

nkjv@Acts:22:28 @ The commander answered, "With a large sum I obtained this citizenship." And Paul said, "But I was born a citizen."

nkjv@Acts:22:30 @ The next day, because he wanted to know for certain why he was accused by the Jews, he released him from his bonds, and commanded the chief priests and all their council to appear, and brought Paul down and set him before them.

nkjv@Acts:23:1 @ Then Paul, looking earnestly at the council, said, "Men and brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day."

nkjv@Acts:23:5 @ Then Paul said, "I did not know, brethren, that he was the high priest; for it is written, "You shall not speak evil of a ruler of your people."'

nkjv@Acts:23:6 @ But when Paul perceived that one part were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, "Men and brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee; concerning the hope and resurrection of the dead I am being judged!"

nkjv@Acts:23:7 @ And when he had said this, a dissension arose between the Pharisees and the Sadducees; and the assembly was divided.

nkjv@Acts:23:8 @ For Sadducees say that there is no resurrection--and no angel or spirit; but the Pharisees confess both.

nkjv@Acts:23:9 @ Then there arose a loud outcry. And the scribes of the Pharisees' party arose and protested, saying, "We find no evil in this man; but if a spirit or an angel has spoken to him, let us not fight against God."

nkjv@Acts:23:10 @ Now when there arose a great dissension, the commander, fearing lest Paul might be pulled to pieces by them, commanded the soldiers to go down and take him by force from among them, and bring him into the barracks.

nkjv@Acts:23:13 @ Now there were more than forty who had formed this conspiracy.

nkjv@Acts:23:16 @ So when Paul's sister's son heard of their ambush, he went and entered the barracks and told Paul.

nkjv@Acts:23:17 @ Then Paul called one of the centurions to him and said, "Take this young man to the commander, for he has something to tell him."

nkjv@Acts:23:18 @ So he took him and brought him to the commander and said, "Paul the prisoner called me to him and asked me to bring this young man to you. He has something to say to you."

nkjv@Acts:23:19 @ Then the commander took him by the hand, went aside, and asked privately, "What is it that you have to tell me?"

nkjv@Acts:23:21 @ But do not yield to them, for more than forty of them lie in wait for him, men who have bound themselves by an oath that they will neither eat nor drink till they have killed him; and now they are ready, waiting for the promise from you."

nkjv@Acts:23:27 @ This man was seized by the Jews and was about to be killed by them. Coming with the troops I rescued him, having learned that he was a Roman.

nkjv@Acts:23:30 @ And when it was told me that the Jews lay in wait for the man, I sent him immediately to you, and also commanded his accusers to state before you the charges against him. Farewell.

nkjv@Acts:23:31 @ Then the soldiers, as they were commanded, took Paul and brought him by night to Antipatris.

nkjv@Acts:24:2 @ And when he was called upon, Tertullus began his accusation, saying: "Seeing that through you we enjoy great peace, and prosperity is being brought to this nation by your foresight,

nkjv@Acts:24:5 @ For we have found this man a plague, a creator of dissension among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes.

nkjv@Acts:24:8 @ commanding his accusers to come to you. By examining him yourself you may ascertain all these things of which we accuse him."

nkjv@Acts:24:10 @ Then Paul, after the governor had nodded to him to speak, answered: "Inasmuch as I know that you have been for many years a judge of this nation, I do the more cheerfully answer for myself,

nkjv@Acts:24:11 @ because you may ascertain that it is no more than twelve days since I went up to Jerusalem to worship.

nkjv@Acts:24:12 @ And they neither found me in the temple disputing with anyone nor inciting the crowd, either in the synagogues or in the city.

nkjv@Acts:24:14 @ But this I confess to you, that according to the Way which they call a sect, so I worship the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the Law and in the Prophets.

nkjv@Acts:24:16 @ This being so, I myself always strive to have a conscience without offense toward God and men.

nkjv@Acts:24:21 @ unless it is for this one statement which I cried out, standing among them, "Concerning the resurrection of the dead I am being judged by you this day."'

nkjv@Acts:24:22 @ But when Felix heard these things, having more accurate knowledge of the Way, he adjourned the proceedings and said, "When Lysias the commander comes down, I will make a decision on your case."

nkjv@Acts:24:23 @ So he commanded the centurion to keep Paul and to let him have liberty, and told him not to forbid any of his friends to provide for or visit him.

nkjv@Acts:24:24 @ And after some days, when Felix came with his wife Drusilla, who was Jewish, he sent for Paul and heard him concerning the faith in Christ.

nkjv@Acts:25:5 @ "Therefore," he said, "let those who have authority among you go down with me and accuse this man, to see if there is any fault in him."

nkjv@Acts:25:11 @ For if I am an offender, or have committed anything deserving of death, I do not object to dying; but if there is nothing in these things of which these men accuse me, no one can deliver me to them. I appeal to Caesar."

nkjv@Acts:25:14 @ When they had been there many days, Festus laid Paul's case before the king, saying: "There is a certain man left a prisoner by Felix,

nkjv@Acts:25:16 @ To them I answered, "It is not the custom of the Romans to deliver any man to destruction before the accused meets the accusers face to face, and has opportunity to answer for himself concerning the charge against him.'

nkjv@Acts:25:21 @ But when Paul appealed to be reserved for the decision of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept till I could send him to Caesar."

nkjv@Acts:25:24 @ And Festus said: "King Agrippa and all the men who are here present with us, you see this man about whom the whole assembly of the Jews petitioned me, both at Jerusalem and here, crying out that he was not fit to live any longer.

nkjv@Acts:25:27 @ For it seems to me unreasonable to send a prisoner and not to specify the charges against him."

nkjv@Acts:26:1 @ Then Agrippa said to Paul, "You are permitted to speak for yourself." So Paul stretched out his hand and answered for himself:

nkjv@Acts:26:5 @ They knew me from the first, if they were willing to testify, that according to the strictest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee.

nkjv@Acts:26:6 @ And now I stand and am judged for the hope of the promise made by God to our fathers.

nkjv@Acts:26:7 @ To this promise our twelve tribes, earnestly serving God night and day, hope to attain. For this hope's sake, King Agrippa, I am accused by the Jews.

nkjv@Acts:26:8 @ Why should it be thought incredible by you that God raises the dead?

nkjv@Acts:26:10 @ This I also did in Jerusalem, and many of the saints I shut up in prison, having received authority from the chief priests; and when they were put to death, I cast my vote against them.

nkjv@Acts:26:11 @ And I punished them often in every synagogue and compelled them to blaspheme; and being exceedingly enraged against them, I persecuted them even to foreign cities.

nkjv@Acts:26:12 @ "While thus occupied, as I journeyed to Damascus with authority and commission from the chief priests,

nkjv@Acts:26:14 @ And when we all had fallen to the ground, I heard a voice speaking to me and saying in the Hebrew language, "Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.'

nkjv@Acts:26:16 @ But rise and stand on your feet; for I have appeared to you for this purpose, to make you a minister and a witness both of the things which you have seen and of the things which I will yet reveal to you.

nkjv@Acts:26:17 @ I will deliver you from the Jewish people, as well as from the Gentiles, to whom I now send you,

nkjv@Acts:26:19 @ "Therefore, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision,

nkjv@Acts:26:22 @ Therefore, having obtained help from God, to this day I stand, witnessing both to small and great, saying no other things than those which the prophets and Moses said would come--

nkjv@Acts:26:23 @ that the Christ would suffer, that He would be the first to rise from the dead, and would proclaim light to the Jewish people and to the Gentiles."

nkjv@Acts:26:24 @ Now as he thus made his defense, Festus said with a loud voice, "Paul, you are beside yourself! Much learning is driving you mad!"

nkjv@Acts:26:26 @ For the king, before whom I also speak freely, knows these things; for I am convinced that none of these things escapes his attention, since this thing was not done in a corner.

nkjv@Acts:26:28 @ Then Agrippa said to Paul, "You almost persuade me to become a Christian."

nkjv@Acts:26:31 @ and when they had gone aside, they talked among themselves, saying, "This man is doing nothing deserving of death or chains."

nkjv@Acts:26:32 @ Then Agrippa said to Festus, "This man might have been set free if he had not appealed to Caesar."

nkjv@Acts:27:1 @ And when it was decided that we should sail to Italy, they delivered Paul and some other prisoners to one named Julius, a centurion of the Augustan Regiment.

nkjv@Acts:27:2 @ So, entering a ship of Adramyttium, we put to sea, meaning to sail along the coasts of Asia. Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, was with us.

nkjv@Acts:27:3 @ And the next day we landed at Sidon. And Julius treated Paul kindly and gave him liberty to go to his friends and receive care.

nkjv@Acts:27:5 @ And when we had sailed over the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.

nkjv@Acts:27:9 @ Now when much time had been spent, and sailing was now dangerous because the Fast was already over, Paul advised them,

nkjv@Acts:27:10 @ saying, "Men, I perceive that this voyage will end with disaster and much loss, not only of the cargo and ship, but also our lives."

nkjv@Acts:27:12 @ And because the harbor was not suitable to winter in, the majority advised to set sail from there also, if by any means they could reach Phoenix, a harbor of Crete opening toward the southwest and northwest, and winter there.

nkjv@Acts:27:16 @ And running under the shelter of an island called Clauda, we secured the skiff with difficulty.

nkjv@Acts:27:17 @ When they had taken it on board, they used cables to undergird the ship; and fearing lest they should run aground on the Syrtis Sands, they struck sail and so were driven.

nkjv@Acts:27:21 @ But after long abstinence from food, then Paul stood in the midst of them and said, "Men, you should have listened to me, and not have sailed from Crete and incurred this disaster and loss.

nkjv@Acts:27:23 @ For there stood by me this night an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I serve,

nkjv@Acts:27:26 @ However, we must run aground on a certain island."

nkjv@Acts:27:33 @ And as day was about to dawn, Paul implored them all to take food, saying, "Today is the fourteenth day you have waited and continued without food, and eaten nothing.

nkjv@Acts:27:34 @ Therefore I urge you to take nourishment, for this is for your survival, since not a hair will fall from the head of any of you."

nkjv@Acts:27:40 @ And they let go the anchors and left them in the sea, meanwhile loosing the rudder ropes; and they hoisted the mainsail to the wind and made for shore.

nkjv@Acts:27:42 @ And the soldiers' plan was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim away and escape.

nkjv@Acts:28:1 @ Now when they had escaped, they then found out that the island was called Malta.

nkjv@Acts:28:3 @ But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and laid them on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat, and fastened on his hand.

nkjv@Acts:28:4 @ So when the natives saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to one another, "No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he has escaped the sea, yet justice does not allow to live."

nkjv@Acts:28:7 @ In that region there was an estate of the leading citizen of the island, whose name was Publius, who received us and entertained us courteously for three days.

nkjv@Acts:28:8 @ And it happened that the father of Publius lay sick of a fever and dysentery. Paul went in to him and prayed, and he laid his hands on him and healed him.

nkjv@Acts:28:9 @ So when this was done, the rest of those on the island who had diseases also came and were healed.

nkjv@Acts:28:11 @ After three months we sailed in an Alexandrian ship whose figurehead was the Twin Brothers, which had wintered at the island.

nkjv@Acts:28:16 @ Now when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard; but Paul was permitted to dwell by himself with the soldier who guarded him.

nkjv@Acts:28:17 @ And it came to pass after three days that Paul called the leaders of the Jews together. So when they had come together, he said to them: "Men and brethren, though I have done nothing against our people or the customs of our fathers, yet I was delivered as a prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans,

nkjv@Acts:28:20 @ For this reason therefore I have called for you, to see you and speak with you, because for the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain."

nkjv@Acts:28:22 @ But we desire to hear from you what you think; for concerning this sect, we know that it is spoken against everywhere."

nkjv@Acts:28:23 @ So when they had appointed him a day, many came to him at his lodging, to whom he explained and solemnly testified of the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus from both the Law of Moses and the Prophets, from morning till evening.

nkjv@Acts:28:24 @ And some were persuaded by the things which were spoken, and some disbelieved.

nkjv@Acts:28:25 @ So when they did not agree among themselves, they departed after Paul had said one word: "The Holy Spirit spoke rightly through Isaiah the prophet to our fathers,

nkjv@Acts:28:26 @ saying, "Go to this people and say: "Hearing you will hear, and shall not understand; And seeing you will see, and not perceive;

nkjv@Acts:28:27 @ For the hearts of this people have grown dull. Their ears are hard of hearing, And their eyes they have closed, Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn, So that I should heal them."'

nkjv@Acts:28:29 @ And when he had said these words, the Jews departed and had a great dispute among themselves.

nkjv@Acts:28:30 @ Then Paul dwelt two whole years in his own rented house, and received all who came to him,

nkjv@Acts:28:31 @ preaching the kingdom of God and teaching the things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ with all confidence, no one forbidding him.

nkjv@Romans:1:1 @ Paul, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated to the gospel of God

nkjv@Romans:1:2 @ which He promised before through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures,

nkjv@Romans:1:3 @ concerning His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh,

nkjv@Romans:1:5 @ Through Him we have received grace and apostleship for obedience to the faith among all nations for His name,

nkjv@Romans:1:6 @ among whom you also are the called of Jesus Christ;

nkjv@Romans:1:7 @ To all who are in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

nkjv@Romans:1:8 @ First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.

nkjv@Romans:1:9 @ For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of His Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers,

nkjv@Romans:1:11 @ For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, so that you may be established--

nkjv@Romans:1:12 @ that is, that I may be encouraged together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me.

nkjv@Romans:1:14 @ I am a debtor both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to wise and to unwise.

nkjv@Romans:1:15 @ So, as much as is in me, I am ready to preach the gospel to you who are in Rome also.

nkjv@Romans:1:16 @ For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.

nkjv@Romans:1:17 @ For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, "The just shall live by faith."

nkjv@Romans:1:18 @ For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,

nkjv@Romans:1:19 @ because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them.

nkjv@Romans:1:20 @ For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse,

nkjv@Romans:1:21 @ because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.

nkjv@Romans:1:22 @ Professing to be wise, they became fools,

nkjv@Romans:1:26 @ For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature.

nkjv@Romans:1:27 @ Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, 1men with 1men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.

nkjv@Romans:2:12 @ For as many as have sinned without law will also perish without law, and as many as have sinned in the law will be judged by the law

nkjv@Romans:2:23 @ You who make your boast in the law, do you dishonor God through breaking the law?

nkjv@Romans:2:24 @ For "the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you," as it is written.

nkjv@Romans:2:25 @ For circumcision is indeed profitable if you keep the law; but if you are a breaker of the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.

nkjv@Romans:2:26 @ Therefore, if an uncircumcised man keeps the righteous requirements of the law, will not his uncircumcision be counted as circumcision?

nkjv@Romans:2:27 @ And will not the physically uncircumcised, if he fulfills the law, judge you who, even with your written code and circumcision, are a transgressor of the law?

nkjv@Romans:2:28 @ For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh;

nkjv@Romans:2:29 @ but he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the Spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not from men but from God.

nkjv@Romans:3:1 @ What advantage then has the Jew, or what is the profit of circumcision?

nkjv@Romans:3:4 @ Certainly not! Indeed, let God be true but every man a liar. As it is written: "That You may be justified in Your words, And may overcome when You are judged."

nkjv@Romans:3:5 @ But if our unrighteousness demonstrates the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unjust who inflicts wrath? (I speak as a man.)

nkjv@Romans:3:7 @ For if the truth of God has increased through my lie to His glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner?

nkjv@Romans:3:8 @ And why not say, "Let us do evil that good may come"?--as we are slanderously reported and as some affirm that we say. Their condemnation is just.

nkjv@Romans:3:10 @ As it is written: "There is none righteous, no, not one;

nkjv@Romans:3:11 @ There is none who understands; There is none who seeks after God.

nkjv@Romans:3:12 @ They have all turned aside; They have together become unprofitable; There is none who does good, no, not one."

nkjv@Romans:3:13 @ "Their throat is an open tomb; With their tongues they have practiced deceit"; "The poison of asps is under their lips";

nkjv@Romans:3:14 @ "Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness."

nkjv@Romans:3:16 @ Destruction and misery are in their ways;

nkjv@Romans:3:18 @ "There is no fear of God before their eyes."

nkjv@Romans:3:20 @ Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

nkjv@Romans:3:21 @ But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets,

nkjv@Romans:3:22 @ even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe. For there is no difference;

nkjv@Romans:3:24 @ being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,

nkjv@Romans:3:25 @ whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed,

nkjv@Romans:3:26 @ to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.

nkjv@Romans:3:27 @ Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? Of works? No, but by the law of faith.

nkjv@Romans:3:28 @ Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith apart from the deeds of the law.

nkjv@Romans:3:29 @ Or is He the God of the Jews only? Is He not also the God of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also,

nkjv@Romans:3:30 @ since there is one God who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith.

nkjv@Romans:3:31 @ Do we then make void the law through faith? Certainly not! On the contrary, we establish the law.

nkjv@Romans:4:5 @ But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness,

nkjv@Romans:4:8 @ Blessed is the man to whom the LORD shall not impute sin."

nkjv@Romans:4:9 @ Does this blessedness then come upon the circumcised only, or upon the uncircumcised also? For we say that faith was accounted to Abraham for righteousness.

nkjv@Romans:4:10 @ How then was it accounted? While he was circumcised, or uncircumcised? Not while circumcised, but while uncircumcised.

nkjv@Romans:4:11 @ And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while still uncircumcised, that he might be the father of all those who believe, though they are uncircumcised, that righteousness might be imputed to them also,

nkjv@Romans:4:12 @ and the father of circumcision to those who not only are of the circumcision, but who also walk in the steps of the faith which our father Abraham had while still uncircumcised.

nkjv@Romans:4:13 @ For the promise that he would be the heir of the world was not to Abraham or to his seed through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.

nkjv@Romans:4:14 @ For if those who are of the law are heirs, faith is made void and the promise made of no effect,

nkjv@Romans:4:15 @ because the law brings about wrath; for where there is no law there is no transgression.

nkjv@Romans:4:16 @ Therefore it is of faith that it might be according to grace, so that the promise might be sure to all the seed, not only to those who are of the law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all

nkjv@Romans:4:17 @ (as it is written, "I have made you a father of many nations" ) in the presence of Him whom he believed--God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did;

nkjv@Romans:4:19 @ And not being weak in faith, he did not consider his own body, already dead (since he was about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah's womb.

nkjv@Romans:4:20 @ He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God,

nkjv@Romans:4:21 @ and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform.

nkjv@Romans:4:23 @ Now it was not written for his sake alone that it was imputed to him,

nkjv@Romans:4:24 @ but also for us. It shall be imputed to us who believe in Him who raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead,

nkjv@Romans:4:25 @ who was delivered up because of our offenses, and was raised because of our justification.

nkjv@Romans:5:1 @ Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

nkjv@Romans:5:2 @ through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

nkjv@Romans:5:5 @ Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

nkjv@Romans:5:6 @ For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

nkjv@Romans:5:8 @ But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

nkjv@Romans:5:9 @ Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.

nkjv@Romans:5:10 @ For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.

nkjv@Romans:5:11 @ And not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.

nkjv@Romans:5:13 @ (For until the law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law.

nkjv@Romans:5:14 @ Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who had not sinned according to the likeness of the transgression of Adam, who is a type of Him who was to come.

nkjv@Romans:5:15 @ But the free gift is not like the offense. For if by the one man's offense many died, much more the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many.

nkjv@Romans:5:16 @ And the gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned. For the judgment which came from one offense resulted in condemnation, but the free gift which came from many offenses resulted in justification.

nkjv@Romans:5:17 @ For if by the one man's offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.)

nkjv@Romans:5:19 @ For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man's obedience many will be made righteous.

nkjv@Romans:5:21 @ so that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

nkjv@Romans:6:3 @ Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?

nkjv@Romans:6:4 @ Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

nkjv@Romans:6:5 @ For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection,

nkjv@Romans:6:6 @ knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin.

nkjv@Romans:6:8 @ Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him,

nkjv@Romans:6:9 @ knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him.

nkjv@Romans:6:11 @ Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

nkjv@Romans:6:21 @ What fruit did you have then in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.

nkjv@Romans:6:23 @ For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

nkjv@Romans:7:2 @ For the woman who has a husband is bound by the law to her husband as long as he lives. But if the husband dies, she is released from the law of her husband.

nkjv@Romans:7:3 @ So then if, while her husband lives, she marries another man, she will be called an adulteress; but if her husband dies, she is free from that law, so that she is no adulteress, though she has married another man.

nkjv@Romans:7:4 @ Therefore, my brethren, you also have become dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you may be married to another--to Him who was raised from the dead, that we should bear fruit to God.

nkjv@Romans:7:7 @ What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! On the contrary, I would not have known sin except through the law. For I would not have known covetousness unless the law had said, "You shall not covet."

nkjv@Romans:7:12 @ Therefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy and just and good.

nkjv@Romans:7:13 @ Has then what is good become death to me? Certainly not! But sin, that it might appear sin, was producing death in me through what is good, so that sin through the commandment might become exceedingly sinful.

nkjv@Romans:7:14 @ For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, sold under sin.

nkjv@Romans:7:16 @ If, then, I do what I will not to do, I agree with the law that it is good.

nkjv@Romans:7:17 @ But now, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me.

nkjv@Romans:7:18 @ For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find.

nkjv@Romans:7:20 @ Now if I do what I will not to do, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me.

nkjv@Romans:7:21 @ I find then a law, that evil is present with me, the one who wills to do good.

nkjv@Romans:7:23 @ But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.

nkjv@Romans:7:24 @ O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?

nkjv@Romans:7:25 @ I thank God--through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with the mind I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin.

nkjv@Romans:8:1 @ There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

nkjv@Romans:8:2 @ For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.

nkjv@Romans:8:3 @ For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh,

nkjv@Romans:8:6 @ For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

nkjv@Romans:8:7 @ Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be.

nkjv@Romans:8:9 @ But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.

nkjv@Romans:8:10 @ And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

nkjv@Romans:8:11 @ But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.

nkjv@Romans:8:17 @ and if children, then heirs--heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.

nkjv@Romans:8:18 @ For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

nkjv@Romans:8:24 @ For we were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees?

nkjv@Romans:8:26 @ Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

nkjv@Romans:8:27 @ Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

nkjv@Romans:8:28 @ And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

nkjv@Romans:8:29 @ For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.

nkjv@Romans:8:31 @ What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

nkjv@Romans:8:32 @ He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?

nkjv@Romans:8:33 @ Who shall bring a charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies.

nkjv@Romans:8:34 @ Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.

nkjv@Romans:8:35 @ Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

nkjv@Romans:8:36 @ As it is written: "For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter."

nkjv@Romans:8:39 @ nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

nkjv@Romans:9:1 @ I tell the truth in Christ, I am not lying, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Spirit,

nkjv@Romans:9:3 @ For I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my countrymen according to the flesh,

nkjv@Romans:9:4 @ who are Israelites, to whom pertain the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the service of God, and the promises;

nkjv@Romans:9:5 @ of whom are the fathers and from whom, according to the flesh, Christ came, who is over all, the eternally blessed God. Amen.

nkjv@Romans:9:6 @ But it is not that the word of God has taken no effect. For they are not all Israel who are of Israel,

nkjv@Romans:9:7 @ nor are they all children because they are the seed of Abraham; but, "In Isaac your seed shall be called."

nkjv@Romans:9:8 @ That is, those who are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God; but the children of the promise are counted as the seed.

nkjv@Romans:9:9 @ For this is the word of promise: "At this time I will come and Sarah shall have a son."

nkjv@Romans:9:10 @ And not only this, but when Rebecca also had conceived by one man, even by our father Isaac

nkjv@Romans:9:13 @ As it is written, "Jacob I have loved, but Esau I have hated."

nkjv@Romans:9:14 @ What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? Certainly not!

nkjv@Romans:9:16 @ So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who shows mercy.

nkjv@Romans:9:17 @ For the Scripture says to the Pharaoh, "For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I may show My power in you, and that My name may be declared in all the earth."

nkjv@Romans:9:19 @ You will say to me then, "Why does He still find fault? For who has resisted His will?"

nkjv@Romans:9:20 @ But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed say to him who formed it, "Why have you made me like this?"

nkjv@Romans:9:21 @ Does not the potter have power over the clay, from the same lump to make one vessel for honor and another for dishonor?

nkjv@Romans:9:22 @ What if God, wanting to show His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath prepared for destruction,

nkjv@Romans:9:23 @ and that He might make known the riches of His glory on the vessels of mercy, which He had prepared beforehand for glory,

nkjv@Romans:9:27 @ Isaiah also cries out concerning Israel: "Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, The remnant will be saved.

nkjv@Romans:9:28 @ For He will finish the work and cut it short in righteousness, Because the LORD will make a short work upon the earth."

nkjv@Romans:9:29 @ And as Isaiah said before: "Unless the LORD of Sabaoth had left us a seed, We would have become like Sodom, And we would have been made like Gomorrah."

nkjv@Romans:9:31 @ but Israel, pursuing the law of righteousness, has not attained to the law of righteousness.

nkjv@Romans:9:33 @ As it is written: "Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and rock of offense, And whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame."

nkjv@Romans:10:1 @ Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they may be saved.

nkjv@Romans:10:3 @ For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted to the righteousness of God.

nkjv@Romans:10:4 @ For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.

nkjv@Romans:10:5 @ For Moses writes about the righteousness which is of the law, "The man who does those things shall live by them."

nkjv@Romans:10:6 @ But the righteousness of faith speaks in this way, "Do not say in your heart, "Who will ascend into heaven?"' (that is, to bring Christ down from above)

nkjv@Romans:10:7 @ or, ""Who will descend into the abyss?"' (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).

nkjv@Romans:10:8 @ But what does it say? "The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart" (that is, the word of faith which we preach):

nkjv@Romans:10:9 @ that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

nkjv@Romans:10:10 @ For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

nkjv@Romans:10:12 @ For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him.

nkjv@Romans:10:15 @ And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, Who bring glad tidings of good things!"

nkjv@Romans:10:16 @ But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, "LORD, who has believed our report?"

nkjv@Romans:10:19 @ But I say, did Israel not know? First Moses says: "I will provoke you to jealousy by those who are not a nation, I will move you to anger by a foolish nation."

nkjv@Romans:10:20 @ But Isaiah is very bold and says: "I was found by those who did not seek Me; I was made manifest to those who did not ask for Me."

nkjv@Romans:10:21 @ But to Israel he says: "All day long I have stretched out My hands To a disobedient and contrary people."

nkjv@Romans:11:1 @ I say then, has God cast away His people? Certainly not! For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

nkjv@Romans:11:2 @ God has not cast away His people whom He foreknew. Or do you not know what the Scripture says of Elijah, how he pleads with God against Israel, saying,

nkjv@Romans:11:5 @ Even so then, at this present time there is a remnant according to the election of grace.

nkjv@Romans:11:6 @ And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work.

nkjv@Romans:11:7 @ What then? Israel has not obtained what it seeks; but the elect have obtained it, and the rest were blinded.

nkjv@Romans:11:8 @ Just as it is written: "God has given them a spirit of stupor, Eyes that they should not see And ears that they should not hear, To this very day."

nkjv@Romans:11:12 @ Now if their fall is riches for the world, and their failure riches for the Gentiles, how much more their fullness!

nkjv@Romans:11:13 @ For I speak to you Gentiles; inasmuch as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry,

nkjv@Romans:11:15 @ For if their being cast away is the reconciling of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?

nkjv@Romans:11:16 @ For if the firstfruit is holy, the lump is also holy; and if the root is holy, so are the branches.

nkjv@Romans:11:22 @ Therefore consider the goodness and severity of God: on those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in His goodness. Otherwise you also will be cut off.

nkjv@Romans:11:23 @ And they also, if they do not continue in unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.

nkjv@Romans:11:24 @ For if you were cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, who are natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?

nkjv@Romans:11:25 @ For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in.

nkjv@Romans:11:26 @ And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: "The Deliverer will come out of Zion, And He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob;

nkjv@Romans:11:27 @ For this is My covenant with them, When I take away their sins."

nkjv@Romans:11:30 @ For as you were once disobedient to God, yet have now obtained mercy through their disobedience,

nkjv@Romans:11:31 @ even so these also have now been disobedient, that through the mercy shown you they also may obtain mercy.

nkjv@Romans:11:32 @ For God has committed them all to disobedience, that He might have mercy on all.

nkjv@Romans:11:33 @ Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out!

nkjv@Romans:11:34 @ "For who has known the mind of the LORD? Or who has become His counselor?"

nkjv@Romans:12:1 @ I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.

nkjv@Romans:12:2 @ And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

nkjv@Romans:12:3 @ For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith.

nkjv@Romans:12:5 @ so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another.

nkjv@Romans:12:6 @ Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, let us prophesy in proportion to our faith;

nkjv@Romans:12:7 @ or ministry, let us use it in our ministering; he who teaches, in teaching;

nkjv@Romans:12:9 @ Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good.

nkjv@Romans:12:13 @ distributing to the needs of the saints, given to hospitality.

nkjv@Romans:12:16 @ Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion.

nkjv@Romans:12:18 @ If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men.

nkjv@Romans:12:19 @ Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, "Vengeance is Mine, I will repay," says the Lord.

nkjv@Romans:12:20 @ Therefore "If your enemy is hungry, feed him; If he is thirsty, give him a drink; For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head."

nkjv@Romans:13:1 @ Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God.

nkjv@Romans:13:2 @ Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves.

nkjv@Romans:13:3 @ For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same.

nkjv@Romans:13:4 @ For he is God's minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God's minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil.

nkjv@Romans:13:6 @ For because of this you also pay taxes, for they are God's ministers attending continually to this very thing.

nkjv@Romans:13:9 @ For the commandments, "You shall not commit adultery," "You shall not murder," "You shall not steal," "You shall not bear false witness," "You shall not covet," and if there is any other commandment, are all summed up in this saying, namely, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."

nkjv@Romans:13:10 @ Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

nkjv@Romans:13:11 @ And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed.

nkjv@Romans:13:12 @ The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.

nkjv@Romans:13:14 @ But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.

nkjv@Romans:14:1 @ Receive one who is weak in the faith, but not to disputes over doubtful things.

nkjv@Romans:14:2 @ For one believes he may eat all things, but he who is weak eats only vegetables.

nkjv@Romans:14:3 @ Let not him who eats despise him who does not eat, and let not him who does not eat judge him who eats; for God has received him.

nkjv@Romans:14:4 @ Who are you to judge another's servant? To his own master he stands or falls. Indeed, he will be made to stand, for God is able to make him stand.

nkjv@Romans:14:5 @ One person esteems one day above another; another esteems every day alike. Let each be fully convinced in his own mind.

nkjv@Romans:14:9 @ For to this end Christ died and rose and lived again, that He might be Lord of both the dead and the living.

nkjv@Romans:14:10 @ But why do you judge your brother? Or why do you show contempt for your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.

nkjv@Romans:14:11 @ For it is written: "As I live, says the LORD, Every knee shall bow to Me, And every tongue shall confess to God."

nkjv@Romans:14:13 @ Therefore let us not judge one another anymore, but rather resolve this, not to put a stumbling block or a cause to fall in our brother's way.

nkjv@Romans:14:14 @ I know and am convinced by the Lord Jesus that there is nothing unclean of itself; but to him who considers anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.

nkjv@Romans:14:15 @ Yet if your brother is grieved because of your food, you are no longer walking in love. Do not destroy with your food the one for whom Christ died.

nkjv@Romans:14:17 @ for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

nkjv@Romans:14:18 @ For he who serves Christ in these things is acceptable to God and approved by men.

nkjv@Romans:14:20 @ Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. All things indeed are pure, but it is evil for the man who eats with offense.

nkjv@Romans:14:21 @ It is good neither to eat meat nor drink wine nor do anything by which your brother stumbles or is offended or is made weak.

nkjv@Romans:14:22 @ Do you have faith? Have it to yourself before God. Happy is he who does not condemn himself in what he approves.

nkjv@Romans:14:23 @ But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because he does not eat from faith; for whatever is not from faith is sin.

nkjv@Romans:15:2 @ Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, leading to edification.

nkjv@Romans:15:3 @ For even Christ did not please Himself; but as it is written, "The reproaches of those who reproached You fell on Me."

nkjv@Romans:15:5 @ Now may the God of patience and comfort grant you to be like-minded toward one another, according to Christ Jesus,

nkjv@Romans:15:6 @ that you may with one mind and one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

nkjv@Romans:15:7 @ Therefore receive one another, just as Christ also received us, to the glory of God.

nkjv@Romans:15:8 @ Now I say that Jesus Christ has become a servant to the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made to the fathers,

nkjv@Romans:15:9 @ and that the Gentiles might glorify God for His mercy, as it is written: "For this reason I will confess to You among the Gentiles, And sing to Your name."

nkjv@Romans:15:10 @ And again he says: "Rejoice, O Gentiles, with His people!"

nkjv@Romans:15:11 @ And again: "Praise the LORD, all you Gentiles! Laud Him, all you peoples!"

nkjv@Romans:15:12 @ And again, Isaiah says: "There shall be a root of Jesse; And He who shall rise to reign over the Gentiles, In Him the Gentiles shall hope."

nkjv@Romans:15:14 @ Now I myself am confident concerning you, my brethren, that you also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.

nkjv@Romans:15:16 @ that I might be a minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering of the Gentiles might be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

nkjv@Romans:15:17 @ Therefore I have reason to glory in Christ Jesus in the things which pertain to God.

nkjv@Romans:15:18 @ For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ has not accomplished through me, in word and deed, to make the Gentiles obedient--

nkjv@Romans:15:19 @ in mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God, so that from Jerusalem and round about to Illyricum I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.

nkjv@Romans:15:20 @ And so I have made it my aim to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build on another man's foundation,

nkjv@Romans:15:21 @ but as it is written: "To whom He was not announced, they shall see; And those who have not heard shall understand."

nkjv@Romans:15:22 @ For this reason I also have been much hindered from coming to you.

nkjv@Romans:15:25 @ But now I am going to Jerusalem to minister to the saints.

nkjv@Romans:15:27 @ It pleased them indeed, and they are their debtors. For if the Gentiles have been partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister to them in material things.

nkjv@Romans:15:28 @ Therefore, when I have performed this and have sealed to them this fruit, I shall go by way of you to Spain.

nkjv@Romans:15:29 @ But I know that when I come to you, I shall come in the fullness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ.

nkjv@Romans:15:30 @ Now I beg you, brethren, through the Lord Jesus Christ, and through the love of the Spirit, that you strive together with me in prayers to God for me,

nkjv@Romans:16:1 @ I commend to you Phoebe our sister, who is a servant of the church in Cenchrea,

nkjv@Romans:16:2 @ that you may receive her in the Lord in a manner worthy of the saints, and assist her in whatever business she has need of you; for indeed she has been a helper of many and of myself also.

nkjv@Romans:16:3 @ Greet Priscilla and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus,

nkjv@Romans:16:4 @ who risked their own necks for my life, to whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles.

nkjv@Romans:16:5 @ Likewise greet the church that is in their house. Greet my beloved Epaenetus, who is the firstfruits of Achaia to Christ.

nkjv@Romans:16:7 @ Greet Andronicus and Junia, my countrymen and my fellow prisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me.

nkjv@Romans:16:9 @ Greet Urbanus, our fellow worker in Christ, and Stachys, my beloved.

nkjv@Romans:16:10 @ Greet Apelles, approved in Christ. Greet those who are of the household of Aristobulus.

nkjv@Romans:16:11 @ Greet Herodion, my countryman. Greet those who are of the household of Narcissus who are in the Lord.

nkjv@Romans:16:12 @ Greet Tryphena and Tryphosa, who have labored in the Lord. Greet the beloved Persis, who labored much in the Lord.

nkjv@Romans:16:13 @ Greet Rufus, chosen in the Lord, and his mother and mine.

nkjv@Romans:16:15 @ Greet Philologus and Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints who are with them.

nkjv@Romans:16:16 @ Greet one another with a holy kiss. The churches of Christ greet you.

nkjv@Romans:16:17 @ Now I urge you, brethren, note those who cause divisions and offenses, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and avoid them.

nkjv@Romans:16:18 @ For those who are such do not serve our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly, and by smooth words and flattering speech deceive the hearts of the simple.

nkjv@Romans:16:19 @ For your obedience has become known to all. Therefore I am glad on your behalf; but I want you to be wise in what is good, and simple concerning evil.

nkjv@Romans:16:20 @ And the God of peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.

nkjv@Romans:16:22 @ I, Tertius, who wrote this epistle, greet you in the Lord.

nkjv@Romans:16:24 @ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

nkjv@Romans:16:25 @ Now to Him who is able to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery kept secret since the world began

nkjv@Romans:16:27 @ to God, alone wise, be glory through Jesus Christ forever. Amen.

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:1 @ Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:2 @ To the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all who in every place call on the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:3 @ Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:4 @ I thank my God always concerning you for the grace of God which was given to you by Christ Jesus,

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:6 @ even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you,

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:7 @ so that you come short in no gift, eagerly waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ,

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:8 @ who will also confirm you to the end, that you may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:9 @ God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:10 @ Now I plead with you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:12 @ Now I say this, that each of you says, "I am of Paul," or "I am of Apollos," or "I am of Cephas," or "I am of Christ."

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:13 @ Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:14 @ I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius,

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:17 @ For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect.

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:18 @ For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:19 @ For it is written: "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, And bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent."

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:20 @ Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:21 @ For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe.

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:22 @ For Jews request a sign, and Greeks seek after wisdom;

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:23 @ but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks foolishness,

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:24 @ but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:25 @ Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:26 @ For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called.

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:27 @ But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty;

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:28 @ and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are,

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:29 @ that no flesh should glory in His presence.

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:30 @ But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God--and righteousness and sanctification and redemption--

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:31 @ that, as it is written, "He who glories, let him glory in the LORD."

nkjv@1Corinthians:2:1 @ And I, brethren, when I came to you, did not come with excellence of speech or of wisdom declaring to you the testimony of God.

nkjv@1Corinthians:2:2 @ For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.

nkjv@1Corinthians:2:4 @ And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,

nkjv@1Corinthians:2:5 @ that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.

nkjv@1Corinthians:2:6 @ However, we speak wisdom among those who are mature, yet not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing.

nkjv@1Corinthians:2:7 @ But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory,

nkjv@1Corinthians:2:8 @ which none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

nkjv@1Corinthians:2:9 @ But as it is written: "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him."

nkjv@1Corinthians:2:10 @ But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.

nkjv@1Corinthians:2:11 @ For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.

nkjv@1Corinthians:2:12 @ Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.

nkjv@1Corinthians:2:13 @ These things we also speak, not in words which man's wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

nkjv@1Corinthians:2:14 @ But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

nkjv@1Corinthians:2:15 @ But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one.

nkjv@1Corinthians:2:16 @ For "who has known the mind of the LORD that he may instruct Him?" But we have the mind of Christ.

nkjv@1Corinthians:3:1 @ And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual people but as to carnal, as to babes in Christ.

nkjv@1Corinthians:3:3 @ for you are still carnal. For where there are envy, strife, and divisions among you, are you not carnal and behaving like mere men?

nkjv@1Corinthians:3:5 @ Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers through whom you believed, as the Lord gave to each one?

nkjv@1Corinthians:3:7 @ So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.

nkjv@1Corinthians:3:8 @ Now he who plants and he who waters are one, and each one will receive his own reward according to his own labor.

nkjv@1Corinthians:3:10 @ According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid the foundation, and another builds on it. But let each one take heed how he builds on it.

nkjv@1Corinthians:3:11 @ For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

nkjv@1Corinthians:3:12 @ Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw,

nkjv@1Corinthians:3:13 @ each one's work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one's work, of what sort it is.

nkjv@1Corinthians:3:15 @ If anyone's work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.

nkjv@1Corinthians:3:17 @ If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.

nkjv@1Corinthians:3:18 @ Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you seems to be wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise.

nkjv@1Corinthians:3:19 @ For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, "He catches the wise in their own craftiness";

nkjv@1Corinthians:3:20 @ and again, "The LORD knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile."

nkjv@1Corinthians:3:23 @ And you are Christ's, and Christ is God's.

nkjv@1Corinthians:4:1 @ Let a man so consider us, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.

nkjv@1Corinthians:4:2 @ Moreover it is required in stewards that one be found faithful.

nkjv@1Corinthians:4:3 @ But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you or by a human court. In fact, I do not even judge myself.

nkjv@1Corinthians:4:4 @ For I know of nothing against myself, yet I am not justified by this; but He who judges me is the Lord.

nkjv@1Corinthians:4:5 @ Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness and reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each one's praise will come from God.

nkjv@1Corinthians:4:6 @ Now these things, brethren, I have figuratively transferred to myself and Apollos for your sakes, that you may learn in us not to think beyond what is written, that none of you may be puffed up on behalf of one against the other.

nkjv@1Corinthians:4:8 @ You are already full! You are already rich! You have reigned as kings without us--and indeed I could wish you did reign, that we also might reign with you!

nkjv@1Corinthians:4:9 @ For I think that God has displayed us, the apostles, last, as men condemned to death; for we have been made a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to men.

nkjv@1Corinthians:4:10 @ We are fools for Christ's sake, but you are wise in Christ! We are weak, but you are strong! You are distinguished, but we are dishonored!

nkjv@1Corinthians:4:15 @ For though you might have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet you do not have many fathers; for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.

nkjv@1Corinthians:4:17 @ For this reason I have sent Timothy to you, who is my beloved and faithful son in the Lord, who will remind you of my ways in Christ, as I teach everywhere in every church.

nkjv@1Corinthians:4:20 @ For the kingdom of God is not in word but in power.

nkjv@1Corinthians:5:1 @ It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and such sexual immorality as is not even named among the Gentiles--that a man has his father's wife!

nkjv@1Corinthians:5:2 @ And you are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he who has done this deed might be taken away from among you.

nkjv@1Corinthians:5:3 @ For I indeed, as absent in body but present in spirit, have already judged (as though I were present) him who has so done this deed.

nkjv@1Corinthians:5:4 @ In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when you are gathered together, along with my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,

nkjv@1Corinthians:5:5 @ deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

nkjv@1Corinthians:5:6 @ Your glorying is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump?

nkjv@1Corinthians:5:7 @ Therefore purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, since you truly are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us.

nkjv@1Corinthians:5:9 @ I wrote to you in my epistle not to keep company with sexually immoral people.

nkjv@1Corinthians:5:10 @ Yet I certainly did not mean with the sexually immoral people of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world.

nkjv@1Corinthians:5:11 @ But now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone named a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner--not even to eat with such a person.

nkjv@1Corinthians:6:3 @ Do you not know that we shall judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life?

nkjv@1Corinthians:6:4 @ If then you have judgments concerning things pertaining to this life, do you appoint those who are least esteemed by the church to judge?

nkjv@1Corinthians:6:5 @ I say this to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you, not even one, who will be able to judge between his brethren?

nkjv@1Corinthians:6:7 @ Now therefore, it is already an utter failure for you that you go to law against one another. Why do you not rather accept wrong? Why do you not rather let yourselves be cheated?

nkjv@1Corinthians:6:13 @ Foods for the stomach and the stomach for foods, but God will destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for sexual immorality but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.

nkjv@1Corinthians:6:14 @ And God both raised up the Lord and will also raise us up by His power.

nkjv@1Corinthians:6:15 @ Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a harlot? Certainly not!

nkjv@1Corinthians:6:16 @ Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body with her? For "the two," He says, "shall become one flesh."

nkjv@1Corinthians:6:17 @ But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him.

nkjv@1Corinthians:6:18 @ Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.

nkjv@1Corinthians:6:19 @ Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:1 @ Now concerning the things of which you wrote to me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:2 @ Nevertheless, because of sexual immorality, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:3 @ Let the husband render to his wife the affection due her, and likewise also the wife to her husband.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:4 @ The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. And likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:6 @ But I say this as a concession, not as a commandment.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:7 @ For I wish that all men were even as I myself. But each one has his own gift from God, one in this manner and another in that.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:8 @ But I say to the unmarried and to the widows: It is good for them if they remain even as I am;

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:9 @ but if they cannot exercise self-control, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to burn with passion.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:10 @ Now to the married I command, yet not I but the Lord: A wife is not to depart from her husband.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:11 @ But even if she does depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband. And a husband is not to divorce his wife.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:12 @ But to the rest I, not the Lord, say: If any brother has a wife who does not believe, and she is willing to live with him, let him not divorce her.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:13 @ And a woman who has a husband who does not believe, if he is willing to live with her, let her not divorce him.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:14 @ For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband; otherwise your children would be unclean, but now they are holy.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:15 @ But if the unbeliever departs, let him depart; a brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases. But God has called us to peace.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:17 @ But as God has distributed to each one, as the Lord has called each one, so let him walk. And so I ordain in all the churches.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:18 @ Was anyone called while circumcised? Let him not become uncircumcised. Was anyone called while uncircumcised? Let him not be circumcised.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:19 @ Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing, but keeping the commandments of God is what matters.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:22 @ For he who is called in the Lord while a slave is the Lord's freedman. Likewise he who is called while free is Christ's slave.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:25 @ Now concerning virgins: I have no commandment from the Lord; yet I give judgment as one whom the Lord in His mercy has made trustworthy.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:26 @ I suppose therefore that this is good because of the present distress--that it is good for a man to remain as he is:

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:29 @ But this I say, brethren, the time is short, so that from now on even those who have wives should be as though they had none,

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:31 @ and those who use this world as not misusing it. For the form of this world is passing away.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:32 @ But I want you to be without care. He who is unmarried cares for the things of the Lord--how he may please the Lord.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:33 @ But he who is married cares about the things of the world--how he may please his wife.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:34 @ There is a difference between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman cares about the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit. But she who is married cares about the things of the world--how she may please her husband.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:35 @ And this I say for your own profit, not that I may put a leash on you, but for what is proper, and that you may serve the Lord without distraction.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:36 @ But if any man thinks he is behaving improperly toward his virgin, if she is past the flower of youth, and thus it must be, let him do what he wishes. He does not sin; let them marry.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:37 @ Nevertheless he who stands steadfast in his heart, having no necessity, but has power over his own will, and has so determined in his heart that he will keep his virgin, does well.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:39 @ A wife is bound by law as long as her husband lives; but if her husband dies, she is at liberty to be married to whom she wishes, only in the Lord.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:40 @ But she is happier if she remains as she is, according to my judgment--and I think I also have the Spirit of God.

nkjv@1Corinthians:8:3 @ But if anyone loves God, this one is known by Him.

nkjv@1Corinthians:8:4 @ Therefore concerning the eating of things offered to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no other God but one.

nkjv@1Corinthians:8:6 @ yet for us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and through whom we live.

nkjv@1Corinthians:8:7 @ However, there is not in everyone that knowledge; for some, with consciousness of the idol, until now eat it as a thing offered to an idol; and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.

nkjv@1Corinthians:8:9 @ But beware lest somehow this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to those who are weak.

nkjv@1Corinthians:8:10 @ For if anyone sees you who have knowledge eating in an idol's temple, will not the conscience of him who is weak be emboldened to eat those things offered to idols?

nkjv@1Corinthians:8:11 @ And because of your knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died?

nkjv@1Corinthians:8:12 @ But when you thus sin against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.

nkjv@1Corinthians:9:1 @ Am I not an apostle? Am I not free? Have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? Are you not my work in the Lord?

nkjv@1Corinthians:9:3 @ My defense to those who examine me is this:

nkjv@1Corinthians:9:6 @ Or is it only Barnabas and I who have no right to refrain from working?

nkjv@1Corinthians:9:7 @ Who ever goes to war at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat of its fruit? Or who tends a flock and does not drink of the milk of the flock?

nkjv@1Corinthians:9:9 @ For it is written in the law of Moses, "You shall not muzzle an ox while it treads out the grain." Is it oxen God is concerned about?

nkjv@1Corinthians:9:10 @ Or does He say it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written, that he who plows should plow in hope, and he who threshes in hope should be partaker of his hope.

nkjv@1Corinthians:9:11 @ If we have sown spiritual things for you, is it a great thing if we reap your material things?

nkjv@1Corinthians:9:12 @ If others are partakers of this right over you, are we not even more? Nevertheless we have not used this right, but endure all things lest we hinder the gospel of Christ.

nkjv@1Corinthians:9:13 @ Do you not know that those who minister the holy things eat of the things of the temple, and those who serve at the altar partake of the offerings of the altar?

nkjv@1Corinthians:9:16 @ For if I preach the gospel, I have nothing to boast of, for necessity is laid upon me; yes, woe is me if I do not preach the gospel!

nkjv@1Corinthians:9:17 @ For if I do this willingly, I have a reward; but if against my will, I have been entrusted with a stewardship.

nkjv@1Corinthians:9:18 @ What is my reward then? That when I preach the gospel, I may present the gospel of Christ without charge, that I may not abuse my authority in the gospel.

nkjv@1Corinthians:9:21 @ to those who are without law, as without law (not being without law toward God, but under law toward Christ ), that I might win those who are without law;

nkjv@1Corinthians:9:23 @ Now this I do for the gospel's sake, that I may be partaker of it with you.

nkjv@1Corinthians:9:25 @ And everyone who competes for the prize is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable crown.

nkjv@1Corinthians:9:27 @ But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified.

nkjv@1Corinthians:10:4 @ and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ.

nkjv@1Corinthians:10:7 @ And do not become idolaters as were some of them. As it is written, "The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play."

nkjv@1Corinthians:10:9 @ nor let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed by serpents;

nkjv@1Corinthians:10:13 @ No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.

nkjv@1Corinthians:10:15 @ I speak as to wise men; judge for yourselves what I say.

nkjv@1Corinthians:10:16 @ The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?

nkjv@1Corinthians:10:18 @ Observe Israel after the flesh: Are not those who eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar?

nkjv@1Corinthians:10:19 @ What am I saying then? That an idol is anything, or what is offered to idols is anything?

nkjv@1Corinthians:10:24 @ Let no one seek his own, but each one the other's well-being.

nkjv@1Corinthians:10:25 @ Eat whatever is sold in the meat market, asking no questions for conscience' sake;

nkjv@1Corinthians:10:26 @ for "the earth is the LORD's, and all its fullness."

nkjv@1Corinthians:10:27 @ If any of those who do not believe invites you to dinner, and you desire to go, eat whatever is set before you, asking no question for conscience' sake.

nkjv@1Corinthians:10:28 @ But if anyone says to you, "This was offered to idols," do not eat it for the sake of the one who told you, and for conscience' sake; for "the earth is the LORD's, and all its fullness."

nkjv@1Corinthians:10:29 @ "Conscience," I say, not your own, but that of the other. For why is my liberty judged by another man's conscience?

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:1 @ Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ.

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:2 @ Now I praise you, brethren, that you remember me in all things and keep the traditions just as I delivered them to you.

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:3 @ But I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ, the head of woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:4 @ Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonors his head.

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:5 @ But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, for that is one and the same as if her head were shaved.

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:6 @ For if a woman is not covered, let her also be shorn. But if it is shameful for a woman to be shorn or shaved, let her be covered.

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:7 @ For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man.

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:8 @ For man is not from woman, but woman from man.

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:10 @ For this reason the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels.

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:11 @ Nevertheless, neither is man independent of woman, nor woman independent of man, in the Lord.

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:13 @ Judge among yourselves. Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:14 @ Does not even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him?

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:15 @ But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her; for her hair is given to her for a covering.

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:17 @ Now in giving these instructions I do not praise you, since you come together not for the better but for the worse.

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:18 @ For first of all, when you come together as a church, I hear that there are divisions among you, and in part I believe it.

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:20 @ Therefore when you come together in one place, it is not to eat the Lord's Supper.

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:21 @ For in eating, each one takes his own supper ahead of others; and one is hungry and another is drunk.

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:22 @ What! Do you not have houses to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the church of God and shame those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you in this? I do not praise you.

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:24 @ and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, "Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me."

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:25 @ In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me."

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:26 @ For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death till He comes.

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:27 @ Therefore whoever eats this bread or drinks this cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:29 @ For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy manner eats and drinks judgment to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:30 @ For this reason many are weak and sick among you, and many sleep.

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:34 @ But if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, lest you come together for judgment. And the rest I will set in order when I come.

nkjv@1Corinthians:12:3 @ Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus accursed, and no one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit.

nkjv@1Corinthians:12:5 @ There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord.

nkjv@1Corinthians:12:6 @ And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all.

nkjv@1Corinthians:12:7 @ But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all:

nkjv@1Corinthians:12:8 @ for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit,

nkjv@1Corinthians:12:10 @ to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues.

nkjv@1Corinthians:12:11 @ But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.

nkjv@1Corinthians:12:12 @ For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ.

nkjv@1Corinthians:12:14 @ For in fact the body is not one member but many.

nkjv@1Corinthians:12:15 @ If the foot should say, "Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body," is it therefore not of the body?

nkjv@1Corinthians:12:16 @ And if the ear should say, "Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body," is it therefore not of the body?

nkjv@1Corinthians:12:25 @ that there should be no schism in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another.

nkjv@1Corinthians:12:26 @ And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; or if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.

nkjv@1Corinthians:12:27 @ Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually.

nkjv@1Corinthians:12:28 @ And God has appointed these in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, varieties of tongues.

nkjv@1Corinthians:13:4 @ Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up;

nkjv@1Corinthians:13:5 @ does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil;

nkjv@1Corinthians:13:8 @ Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away.

nkjv@1Corinthians:13:10 @ But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away.

nkjv@1Corinthians:13:11 @ When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

nkjv@1Corinthians:13:13 @ And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

nkjv@1Corinthians:14:5 @ I wish you all spoke with tongues, but even more that you prophesied; for he who prophesies is greater than he who speaks with tongues, unless indeed he interprets, that the church may receive edification.

nkjv@1Corinthians:14:7 @ Even things without life, whether flute or harp, when they make a sound, unless they make a distinction in the sounds, how will it be known what is piped or played?

nkjv@1Corinthians:14:9 @ So likewise you, unless you utter by the tongue words easy to understand, how will it be known what is spoken? For you will be speaking into the air.

nkjv@1Corinthians:14:10 @ There are, it may be, so many kinds of languages in the world, and none of them is without significance.

nkjv@1Corinthians:14:14 @ For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful.

nkjv@1Corinthians:14:15 @ What is the conclusion then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will also pray with the understanding. I will sing with the spirit, and I will also sing with the understanding.

nkjv@1Corinthians:14:16 @ Otherwise, if you bless with the spirit, how will he who occupies the place of the uninformed say "Amen" at your giving of thanks, since he does not understand what you say?

nkjv@1Corinthians:14:17 @ For you indeed give thanks well, but the other is not edified.

nkjv@1Corinthians:14:21 @ In the law it is written: "With men of other tongues and other lips I will speak to this people; And yet, for all that, they will not hear Me," says the Lord.

nkjv@1Corinthians:14:22 @ Therefore tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe but to unbelievers; but prophesying is not for unbelievers but for those who believe.

nkjv@1Corinthians:14:24 @ But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever or an uninformed person comes in, he is convinced by all, he is convicted by all.

nkjv@1Corinthians:14:25 @ And thus the secrets of his heart are revealed; and so, falling down on his face, he will worship God and report that God is truly among you.

nkjv@1Corinthians:14:26 @ How is it then, brethren? Whenever you come together, each of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a tongue, has a revelation, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification.

nkjv@1Corinthians:14:28 @ But if there is no interpreter, let him keep silent in church, and let him speak to himself and to God.

nkjv@1Corinthians:14:30 @ But if anything is revealed to another who sits by, let the first keep silent.

nkjv@1Corinthians:14:33 @ For God is not the author of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints.

nkjv@1Corinthians:14:34 @ Let your women keep silent in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak; but they are to be submissive, as the law also says.

nkjv@1Corinthians:14:35 @ And if they want to learn something, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is shameful for women to speak in church.

nkjv@1Corinthians:14:38 @ But if anyone is ignorant, let him be ignorant.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:3 @ For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:10 @ But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all, yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:12 @ Now if Christ is preached that He has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:13 @ But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ is not risen.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:14 @ And if Christ is not risen, then our preaching is empty and your faith is also empty.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:15 @ Yes, and we are found false witnesses of God, because we have testified of God that He raised up Christ, whom He did not raise up--if in fact the dead do not rise.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:16 @ For if the dead do not rise, then Christ is not risen.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:17 @ And if Christ is not risen, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins!

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:18 @ Then also those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:19 @ If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the most pitiable.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:20 @ But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:22 @ For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:23 @ But each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ's at His coming.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:25 @ For He must reign till He has put all enemies under His feet.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:26 @ The last enemy that will be destroyed is death.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:27 @ For "He has put all things under His feet." But when He says "all things are put under Him," it is evident that He who put all things under Him is excepted.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:29 @ Otherwise, what will they do who are baptized for the dead, if the dead do not rise at all? Why then are they baptized for the dead?

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:31 @ I affirm, by the boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:32 @ If, in the manner of men, I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantage is it to me? If the dead do not rise, "Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!"

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:34 @ Awake to righteousness, and do not sin; for some do not have the knowledge of God. I speak this to your shame.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:35 @ But someone will say, "How are the dead raised up? And with what body do they come?"

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:36 @ Foolish one, what you sow is not made alive unless it dies.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:39 @ All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of animals, another of fish, and another of birds.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:40 @ There are also celestial bodies and terrestrial bodies; but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:41 @ There is one glory of the sun, another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differs from another star in glory.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:42 @ So also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:43 @ It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:44 @ It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:45 @ And so it is written, "The first man Adam became a living being." The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:46 @ However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural, and afterward the spiritual.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:47 @ The first man was of the earth, 1made of dust; the second Man is the Lord from heaven.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:48 @ As was the man of dust, so also are those who are made of dust; and as is the heavenly Man, so also are those who are heavenly.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:50 @ Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:52 @ in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:53 @ For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:54 @ So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: "Death is swallowed up in victory."

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:55 @ "O Death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory?"

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:56 @ The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:57 @ But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:58 @ Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

nkjv@1Corinthians:16:4 @ But if it is fitting that I go also, they will go with me.

nkjv@1Corinthians:16:7 @ For I do not wish to see you now on the way; but I hope to stay a while with you, if the Lord permits.

nkjv@1Corinthians:16:11 @ Therefore let no one despise him. But send him on his journey in peace, that he may come to me; for I am waiting for him with the brethren.

nkjv@1Corinthians:16:12 @ Now concerning our brother Apollos, I strongly urged him to come to you with the brethren, but he was quite unwilling to come at this time; however, he will come when he has a convenient time.

nkjv@1Corinthians:16:15 @ I urge you, brethren--you know the household of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have devoted themselves to the ministry of the saints--

nkjv@1Corinthians:16:19 @ The churches of Asia greet you. Aquila and Priscilla greet you heartily in the Lord, with the church that is in their house.

nkjv@1Corinthians:16:20 @ All the brethren greet you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.

nkjv@1Corinthians:16:22 @ If anyone does not love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be accursed. O Lord, come!

nkjv@1Corinthians:16:23 @ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

nkjv@1Corinthians:16:24 @ My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.

nkjv@2Corinthians:1:1 @ Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, To the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints who are in all Achaia:

nkjv@2Corinthians:1:2 @ Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

nkjv@2Corinthians:1:3 @ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,

nkjv@2Corinthians:1:5 @ For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also abounds through Christ.

nkjv@2Corinthians:1:6 @ Now if we are afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effective for enduring the same sufferings which we also suffer. Or if we are comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation.

nkjv@2Corinthians:1:7 @ And our hope for you is steadfast, because we know that as you are partakers of the sufferings, so also you will partake of the consolation.

nkjv@2Corinthians:1:9 @ Yes, we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves but in God who raises the dead,

nkjv@2Corinthians:1:12 @ For our boasting is this: the testimony of our conscience that we conducted ourselves in the world in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom but by the grace of God, and more abundantly toward you.

nkjv@2Corinthians:1:15 @ And in this confidence I intended to come to you before, that you might have a second benefit--

nkjv@2Corinthians:1:17 @ Therefore, when I was planning this, did I do it lightly? Or the things I plan, do I plan according to the flesh, that with me there should be Yes, Yes, and No, No?

nkjv@2Corinthians:1:18 @ But as God is faithful, our word to you was not Yes and No.

nkjv@2Corinthians:1:19 @ For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us--by me, Silvanus, and Timothy--was not Yes and No, but in Him was Yes.

nkjv@2Corinthians:1:20 @ For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us.

nkjv@2Corinthians:1:21 @ Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God,

nkjv@2Corinthians:2:1 @ But I determined this within myself, that I would not come again to you in sorrow.

nkjv@2Corinthians:2:2 @ For if I make you sorrowful, then who is he who makes me glad but the one who is made sorrowful by me?

nkjv@2Corinthians:2:3 @ And I wrote this very thing to you, lest, when I came, I should have sorrow over those from whom I ought to have joy, having confidence in you all that my joy is the joy of you all.

nkjv@2Corinthians:2:4 @ For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote to you, with many tears, not that you should be grieved, but that you might know the love which I have so abundantly for you.

nkjv@2Corinthians:2:6 @ This punishment which was inflicted by the majority is sufficient for such a man,

nkjv@2Corinthians:2:9 @ For to this end I also wrote, that I might put you to the test, whether you are obedient in all things.

nkjv@2Corinthians:2:10 @ Now whom you forgive anything, I also forgive. For if indeed I have forgiven anything, I have forgiven that one for your sakes in the presence of Christ,

nkjv@2Corinthians:2:11 @ lest Satan should take advantage of us; for we are not ignorant of his devices.

nkjv@2Corinthians:2:12 @ Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christ's gospel, and a door was opened to me by the Lord,

nkjv@2Corinthians:2:14 @ Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place.

nkjv@2Corinthians:2:15 @ For we are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing.

nkjv@2Corinthians:2:16 @ To the one we are the aroma of death leading to death, and to the other the aroma of life leading to life. And who is sufficient for these things?

nkjv@2Corinthians:2:17 @ For we are not, as so many, peddling the word of God; but as of sincerity, but as from God, we speak in the sight of God in Christ.

nkjv@2Corinthians:3:1 @ Do we begin again to commend ourselves? Or do we need, as some others, epistles of commendation to you or letters of commendation from you?

nkjv@2Corinthians:3:2 @ You are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read by all men;

nkjv@2Corinthians:3:3 @ clearly you are an epistle of Christ, ministered by us, written not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of flesh, that is, of the heart.

nkjv@2Corinthians:3:4 @ And we have such trust through Christ toward God.

nkjv@2Corinthians:3:5 @ Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything as being from ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God,

nkjv@2Corinthians:3:6 @ who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

nkjv@2Corinthians:3:7 @ But if the ministry of death, written and engraved on stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of the glory of his countenance, which glory was passing away,

nkjv@2Corinthians:3:8 @ how will the ministry of the Spirit not be more glorious?

nkjv@2Corinthians:3:9 @ For if the ministry of condemnation had glory, the ministry of righteousness exceeds much more in glory.

nkjv@2Corinthians:3:10 @ For even what was made glorious had no glory in this respect, because of the glory that excels.

nkjv@2Corinthians:3:11 @ For if what is passing away was glorious, what remains is much more glorious.

nkjv@2Corinthians:3:13 @ unlike Moses, who put a veil over his face so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the end of what was passing away.

nkjv@2Corinthians:3:14 @ But their minds were blinded. For until this day the same veil remains unlifted in the reading of the Old Testament, because the veil is taken away in Christ.

nkjv@2Corinthians:3:15 @ But even to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart.

nkjv@2Corinthians:3:16 @ Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.

nkjv@2Corinthians:3:17 @ Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

nkjv@2Corinthians:4:1 @ Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we do not lose heart.

nkjv@2Corinthians:4:3 @ But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing,

nkjv@2Corinthians:4:4 @ whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.

nkjv@2Corinthians:4:5 @ For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your bondservants for Jesus' sake.

nkjv@2Corinthians:4:6 @ For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

nkjv@2Corinthians:4:7 @ But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us.

nkjv@2Corinthians:4:12 @ So then death is working in us, but life in you.

nkjv@2Corinthians:4:13 @ And since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, "I believed and therefore I spoke," we also believe and therefore speak,

nkjv@2Corinthians:4:14 @ knowing that He who raised up the Lord Jesus will also raise us up with Jesus, and will present us with you.

nkjv@2Corinthians:4:16 @ Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day.

nkjv@2Corinthians:4:17 @ For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory,

nkjv@2Corinthians:5:1 @ For we know that if our earthly house, this tent, is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

nkjv@2Corinthians:5:2 @ For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed with our habitation which is from heaven,

nkjv@2Corinthians:5:4 @ For we who are in this tent groan, being burdened, not because we want to be unclothed, but further clothed, that mortality may be swallowed up by life.

nkjv@2Corinthians:5:5 @ Now He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who also has given us the Spirit as a guarantee.

nkjv@2Corinthians:5:10 @ For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.

nkjv@2Corinthians:5:13 @ For if we are beside ourselves, it is for God; or if we are of sound mind, it is for you.

nkjv@2Corinthians:5:14 @ For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died;

nkjv@2Corinthians:5:16 @ Therefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him thus no longer.

nkjv@2Corinthians:5:17 @ Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

nkjv@2Corinthians:5:18 @ Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation,

nkjv@2Corinthians:5:19 @ that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.

nkjv@2Corinthians:5:20 @ Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ's behalf, be reconciled to God.

nkjv@2Corinthians:6:2 @ For He says: "In an acceptable time I have heard you, And in the day of salvation I have helped you." Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.

nkjv@2Corinthians:6:3 @ We give no offense in anything, that our ministry may not be blamed.

nkjv@2Corinthians:6:4 @ But in all things we commend ourselves as ministers of God: in much patience, in tribulations, in needs, in distresses,

nkjv@2Corinthians:6:5 @ in stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labors, in sleeplessness, in fastings;

nkjv@2Corinthians:6:8 @ by honor and dishonor, by evil report and good report; as deceivers, and yet true;

nkjv@2Corinthians:6:11 @ O Corinthians! We have spoken openly to you, our heart is wide open.

nkjv@2Corinthians:6:15 @ And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever?

nkjv@2Corinthians:6:17 @ Therefore "Come out from among them And be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, And I will receive you."

nkjv@2Corinthians:7:1 @ Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

nkjv@2Corinthians:7:3 @ I do not say this to condemn; for I have said before that you are in our hearts, to die together and to live together.

nkjv@2Corinthians:7:4 @ Great is my boldness of speech toward you, great is my boasting on your behalf. I am filled with comfort. I am exceedingly joyful in all our tribulation.

nkjv@2Corinthians:7:7 @ and not only by his coming, but also by the consolation with which he was comforted in you, when he told us of your earnest desire, your mourning, your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced even more.

nkjv@2Corinthians:7:8 @ For even if I made you sorry with my letter, I do not regret it; though I did regret it. For I perceive that the same epistle made you sorry, though only for a while.

nkjv@2Corinthians:7:11 @ For observe this very thing, that you sorrowed in a godly manner: What diligence it produced in you, what clearing of yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what vehement desire, what zeal, what vindication! In all things you proved yourselves to be clear in this matter.

nkjv@2Corinthians:7:13 @ Therefore we have been comforted in your comfort. And we rejoiced exceedingly more for the joy of Titus, because his spirit has been refreshed by you all.

nkjv@2Corinthians:7:15 @ And his affections are greater for you as he remembers the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling you received him.

nkjv@2Corinthians:8:4 @ imploring us with much urgency that we would receive the gift and the fellowship of the ministering to the saints.

nkjv@2Corinthians:8:6 @ So we urged Titus, that as he had begun, so he would also complete this grace in you as well.

nkjv@2Corinthians:8:7 @ But as you abound in everything--in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in all diligence, and in your love for us--see that you abound in this grace also.

nkjv@2Corinthians:8:9 @ For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich.

nkjv@2Corinthians:8:10 @ And in this I give advice: It is to your advantage not only to be doing what you began and were desiring to do a year ago;

nkjv@2Corinthians:8:12 @ For if there is first a willing mind, it is accepted according to what one has, and not according to what he does not have.

nkjv@2Corinthians:8:14 @ but by an equality, that now at this time your abundance may supply their lack, that their abundance also may supply your lack--that there may be equality.

nkjv@2Corinthians:8:15 @ As it is written, "He who gathered much had nothing left over, and he who gathered little had no lack."

nkjv@2Corinthians:8:17 @ For he not only accepted the exhortation, but being more diligent, he went to you of his own accord.

nkjv@2Corinthians:8:18 @ And we have sent with him the brother whose praise is in the gospel throughout all the churches,

nkjv@2Corinthians:8:19 @ and not only that, but who was also chosen by the churches to travel with us with this gift, which is administered by us to the glory of the Lord Himself and to show your ready mind,

nkjv@2Corinthians:8:20 @ avoiding this: that anyone should blame us in this lavish gift which is administered by us--

nkjv@2Corinthians:8:23 @ If anyone inquires about Titus, he is my partner and fellow worker concerning you. Or if our brethren are inquired about, they are messengers of the churches, the glory of Christ.

nkjv@2Corinthians:9:1 @ Now concerning the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you;

nkjv@2Corinthians:9:3 @ Yet I have sent the brethren, lest our boasting of you should be in vain in this respect, that, as I said, you may be ready;

nkjv@2Corinthians:9:4 @ lest if some Macedonians come with me and find you unprepared, we (not to mention you!) should be ashamed of this confident boasting.

nkjv@2Corinthians:9:5 @ Therefore I thought it necessary to exhort the brethren to go to you ahead of time, and prepare your generous gift beforehand, which you had previously promised, that it may be ready as a matter of generosity and not as a grudging obligation.

nkjv@2Corinthians:9:6 @ But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.

nkjv@2Corinthians:9:7 @ So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.

nkjv@2Corinthians:9:8 @ And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.

nkjv@2Corinthians:9:9 @ As it is written: "He has dispersed abroad, He has given to the poor; His righteousness endures forever."

nkjv@2Corinthians:9:12 @ For the administration of this service not only supplies the needs of the saints, but also is abounding through many thanksgivings to God,

nkjv@2Corinthians:9:13 @ while, through the proof of this ministry, they glorify God for the obedience of your confession to the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal sharing with them and all men,

nkjv@2Corinthians:9:15 @ Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!

nkjv@2Corinthians:10:1 @ Now I, Paul, myself am pleading with you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ--who in presence am lowly among you, but being absent am bold toward you.

nkjv@2Corinthians:10:5 @ casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,

nkjv@2Corinthians:10:6 @ and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.

nkjv@2Corinthians:10:7 @ Do you look at things according to the outward appearance? If anyone is convinced in himself that he is Christ's, let him again consider this in himself, that just as he is Christ's, even so we are Christ's.

nkjv@2Corinthians:10:10 @ "For his letters," they say, "are weighty and powerful, but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible."

nkjv@2Corinthians:10:11 @ Let such a person consider this, that what we are in word by letters when we are absent, such we will also be in deed when we are present.

nkjv@2Corinthians:10:12 @ For we dare not class ourselves or compare ourselves with those who commend themselves. But they, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.

nkjv@2Corinthians:10:14 @ For we are not overextending ourselves (as though our authority did not extend to you), for it was to you that we came with the gospel of Christ;

nkjv@2Corinthians:10:15 @ not boasting of things beyond measure, that is, in other men's labors, but having hope, that as your faith is increased, we shall be greatly enlarged by you in our sphere,

nkjv@2Corinthians:10:16 @ to preach the gospel in the regions beyond you, and not to boast in another man's sphere of accomplishment.

nkjv@2Corinthians:10:18 @ For not he who commends himself is approved, but whom the Lord commends.

nkjv@2Corinthians:11:2 @ For I am jealous for you with godly jealousy. For I have betrothed you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.

nkjv@2Corinthians:11:3 @ But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

nkjv@2Corinthians:11:8 @ I robbed other churches, taking wages from them to minister to you.

nkjv@2Corinthians:11:10 @ As the truth of Christ is in me, no one shall stop me from this boasting in the regions of Achaia.

nkjv@2Corinthians:11:13 @ For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ.

nkjv@2Corinthians:11:15 @ Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.

nkjv@2Corinthians:11:16 @ I say again, let no one think me a fool. If otherwise, at least receive me as a fool, that I also may boast a little.

nkjv@2Corinthians:11:17 @ What I speak, I speak not according to the Lord, but as it were, foolishly, in this confidence of boasting.

nkjv@2Corinthians:11:19 @ For you put up with fools gladly, since you yourselves are wise!

nkjv@2Corinthians:11:21 @ To our shame I say that we were too weak for that! But in whatever anyone is bold--I speak foolishly--I am bold also.

nkjv@2Corinthians:11:22 @ Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? So am I.

nkjv@2Corinthians:11:23 @ Are they ministers of Christ?--I speak as a fool--I am more: in labors more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequently, in deaths often.

nkjv@2Corinthians:11:29 @ Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is made to stumble, and I do not burn with indignation?

nkjv@2Corinthians:11:31 @ The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is blessed forever, knows that I am not lying.

nkjv@2Corinthians:11:32 @ In Damascus the governor, under Aretas the king, was guarding the city of the Damascenes with a garrison, desiring to arrest me;

nkjv@2Corinthians:11:33 @ but I was let down in a basket through a window in the wall, and escaped from his hands.

nkjv@2Corinthians:12:1 @ It is doubtless not profitable for me to boast. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord:

nkjv@2Corinthians:12:2 @ I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago--whether in the body I do not know, or whether out of the body I do not know, God knows--such a one was caught up to the third heaven.

nkjv@2Corinthians:12:4 @ how he was caught up into Paradise and heard inexpressible words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.

nkjv@2Corinthians:12:8 @ Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me.

nkjv@2Corinthians:12:9 @ And He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness." Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

nkjv@2Corinthians:12:10 @ Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

nkjv@2Corinthians:12:12 @ Truly the signs of an apostle were accomplished among you with all perseverance, in signs and wonders and mighty deeds.

nkjv@2Corinthians:12:13 @ For what is it in which you were inferior to other churches, except that I myself was not burdensome to you? Forgive me this wrong!

nkjv@2Corinthians:12:19 @ Again, do you think that we excuse ourselves to you? We speak before God in Christ. But we do all things, beloved, for your edification.

nkjv@2Corinthians:12:20 @ For I fear lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I wish, and that I shall be found by you such as you do not wish; lest there be contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, backbitings, whisperings, conceits, tumults;

nkjv@2Corinthians:13:1 @ This will be the third time I am coming to you. "By the mouth of two or three witnesses every word shall be established."

nkjv@2Corinthians:13:3 @ since you seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, who is not weak toward you, but mighty in you.

nkjv@2Corinthians:13:5 @ Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?--unless indeed you are disqualified.

nkjv@2Corinthians:13:6 @ But I trust that you will know that we are not disqualified.

nkjv@2Corinthians:13:7 @ Now I pray to God that you do no evil, not that we should appear approved, but that you should do what is honorable, though we may seem disqualified.

nkjv@2Corinthians:13:9 @ For we are glad when we are weak and you are strong. And this also we pray, that you may be made complete.

nkjv@2Corinthians:13:12 @ Greet one another with a holy kiss.

nkjv@2Corinthians:13:14 @ The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.

nkjv@Galatians:1:1 @ Paul, an apostle (not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father who raised Him from the dead),

nkjv@Galatians:1:3 @ Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ,

nkjv@Galatians:1:4 @ who gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father,

nkjv@Galatians:1:6 @ I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel,

nkjv@Galatians:1:7 @ which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ.

nkjv@Galatians:1:10 @ For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ.

nkjv@Galatians:1:11 @ But I make known to you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man.

nkjv@Galatians:1:12 @ For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came through the revelation of Jesus Christ.

nkjv@Galatians:1:13 @ For you have heard of my former conduct in Judaism, how I persecuted the church of God beyond measure and tried to destroy it.

nkjv@Galatians:1:14 @ And I advanced in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries in my own nation, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.

nkjv@Galatians:1:15 @ But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb and called me through His grace,

nkjv@Galatians:1:16 @ to reveal His Son in me, that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately confer with flesh and blood,

nkjv@Galatians:1:22 @ And I was unknown by face to the churches of Judea which were in Christ.

nkjv@Galatians:2:3 @ Yet not even Titus who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised.

nkjv@Galatians:2:4 @ And this occurred because of false brethren secretly brought in (who came in by stealth to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage),

nkjv@Galatians:2:5 @ to whom we did not yield submission even for an hour, that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.

nkjv@Galatians:2:6 @ But from those who seemed to be something--whatever they were, it makes no difference to me; God shows personal favoritism to no man--for those who seemed to be something added nothing to me.

nkjv@Galatians:2:7 @ But on the contrary, when they saw that the gospel for the uncircumcised had been committed to me, as the gospel for the circumcised was to Peter

nkjv@Galatians:2:8 @ (for He who worked effectively in Peter for the apostleship to the circumcised also worked effectively in me toward the Gentiles),

nkjv@Galatians:2:9 @ and when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that had been given to me, they gave me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised.

nkjv@Galatians:2:11 @ Now when Peter had come to Antioch, I withstood him to his face, because he was to be blamed;

nkjv@Galatians:2:12 @ for before certain men came from James, he would eat with the Gentiles; but when they came, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing those who were of the circumcision.

nkjv@Galatians:2:13 @ And the rest of the Jews also played the hypocrite with him, so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy.

nkjv@Galatians:2:16 @ knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law; for by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified.

nkjv@Galatians:2:17 @ "But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is Christ therefore a minister of sin? Certainly not!

nkjv@Galatians:2:20 @ I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.

nkjv@Galatians:2:21 @ I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died in vain."

nkjv@Galatians:3:1 @ O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you that you should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed among you as crucified?

nkjv@Galatians:3:2 @ This only I want to learn from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

nkjv@Galatians:3:3 @ Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now being made perfect by the flesh?

nkjv@Galatians:3:10 @ For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse; for it is written, "Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them."

nkjv@Galatians:3:11 @ But that no one is justified by the law in the sight of God is evident, for "the just shall live by faith."

nkjv@Galatians:3:12 @ Yet the law is not of faith, but "the man who does them shall live by them."

nkjv@Galatians:3:13 @ Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, "Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree" ),

nkjv@Galatians:3:14 @ that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

nkjv@Galatians:3:15 @ Brethren, I speak in the manner of men: Though it is only a man's covenant, yet if it is confirmed, no one annuls or adds to it.

nkjv@Galatians:3:16 @ Now to Abraham and his Seed were the promises made. He does not say, "And to seeds," as of many, but as of one, "And to your Seed," who is Christ.

nkjv@Galatians:3:17 @ And this I say, that the law, which was four hundred and thirty years later, cannot annul the covenant that was confirmed before by God in Christ, that it should make the promise of no effect.

nkjv@Galatians:3:18 @ For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no longer of promise; but God gave it to Abraham by promise.

nkjv@Galatians:3:19 @ What purpose then does the law serve? It was added because of transgressions, till the Seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was appointed through angels by the hand of a mediator.

nkjv@Galatians:3:20 @ Now a mediator does not mediate for one only, but God is one.

nkjv@Galatians:3:21 @ Is the law then against the promises of God? Certainly not! For if there had been a law given which could have given life, truly righteousness would have been by the law.

nkjv@Galatians:3:22 @ But the Scripture has confined all under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.

nkjv@Galatians:3:24 @ Therefore the law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

nkjv@Galatians:3:26 @ For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.

nkjv@Galatians:3:27 @ For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

nkjv@Galatians:3:28 @ There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

nkjv@Galatians:3:29 @ And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

nkjv@Galatians:4:1 @ Now I say that the heir, as long as he is a child, does not differ at all from a slave, though he is master of all,

nkjv@Galatians:4:2 @ but is under guardians and stewards until the time appointed by the father.

nkjv@Galatians:4:4 @ But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law,

nkjv@Galatians:4:6 @ And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, "Abba, Father!"

nkjv@Galatians:4:7 @ Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.

nkjv@Galatians:4:9 @ But now after you have known God, or rather are known by God, how is it that you turn again to the weak and beggarly elements, to which you desire again to be in bondage?

nkjv@Galatians:4:14 @ And my trial which was in my flesh you did not despise or reject, but you received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.

nkjv@Galatians:4:18 @ But it is good to be zealous in a good thing always, and not only when I am present with you.

nkjv@Galatians:4:19 @ My little children, for whom I labor in birth again until Christ is formed in you,

nkjv@Galatians:4:22 @ For it is written that Abraham had two sons: the one by a bondwoman, the other by a freewoman.

nkjv@Galatians:4:23 @ But he who was of the bondwoman was born according to the flesh, and he of the freewoman through promise,

nkjv@Galatians:4:24 @ which things are symbolic. For these are the two covenants: the one from Mount Sinai which gives birth to bondage, which is Hagar--

nkjv@Galatians:4:25 @ for this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children--

nkjv@Galatians:4:26 @ but the Jerusalem above is free, which is the mother of us all.

nkjv@Galatians:4:27 @ For it is written: "Rejoice, O barren, You who do not bear! Break forth and shout, You who are not in labor! For the desolate has many more children Than she who has a husband."

nkjv@Galatians:4:28 @ Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are children of promise.

nkjv@Galatians:4:29 @ But, as he who was born according to the flesh then persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, even so it is now.

nkjv@Galatians:5:1 @ Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.

nkjv@Galatians:5:2 @ Indeed I, Paul, say to you that if you become circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing.

nkjv@Galatians:5:3 @ And I testify again to every man who becomes circumcised that he is a debtor to keep the whole law.

nkjv@Galatians:5:4 @ You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace.

nkjv@Galatians:5:6 @ For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but faith working through love.

nkjv@Galatians:5:8 @ This persuasion does not come from Him who calls you.

nkjv@Galatians:5:10 @ I have confidence in you, in the Lord, that you will have no other mind; but he who troubles you shall bear his judgment, whoever he is.

nkjv@Galatians:5:11 @ And I, brethren, if I still preach circumcision, why do I still suffer persecution? Then the offense of the cross has ceased.

nkjv@Galatians:5:12 @ I could wish that those who trouble you would even cut themselves off!

nkjv@Galatians:5:14 @ For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."

nkjv@Galatians:5:17 @ For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish.

nkjv@Galatians:5:20 @ idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies,

nkjv@Galatians:5:22 @ But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

nkjv@Galatians:5:23 @ gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.

nkjv@Galatians:5:24 @ And those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

nkjv@Galatians:6:1 @ Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted.

nkjv@Galatians:6:2 @ Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

nkjv@Galatians:6:3 @ For if anyone thinks himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

nkjv@Galatians:6:4 @ But let each one examine his own work, and then he will have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.

nkjv@Galatians:6:5 @ For each one shall bear his own load.

nkjv@Galatians:6:6 @ Let him who is taught the word share in all good things with him who teaches.

nkjv@Galatians:6:7 @ Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

nkjv@Galatians:6:8 @ For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.

nkjv@Galatians:6:12 @ As many as desire to make a good showing in the flesh, these would compel you to be circumcised, only that they may not suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.

nkjv@Galatians:6:13 @ For not even those who are circumcised keep the law, but they desire to have you circumcised that they may boast in your flesh.

nkjv@Galatians:6:14 @ But God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

nkjv@Galatians:6:15 @ For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but a new creation.

nkjv@Galatians:6:16 @ And as many as walk according to this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God.

nkjv@Galatians:6:18 @ Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.

nkjv@Ephesians:1:1 @ Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, To the saints who are in Ephesus, and faithful in Christ Jesus:

nkjv@Ephesians:2:5 @ even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),

nkjv@Ephesians:3:20 @ Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,

nkjv@Ephesians:3:21 @ to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

nkjv@Ephesians:4:1 @ I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called,

nkjv@Ephesians:4:4 @ There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling;

nkjv@Ephesians:4:5 @ one Lord, one faith, one baptism;

nkjv@Ephesians:4:6 @ one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

nkjv@Ephesians:4:7 @ But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ's gift.

nkjv@Ephesians:4:9 @ (Now this, "He ascended"--what does it mean but that He also first descended into the lower parts of the earth?

nkjv@Ephesians:4:10 @ He who descended is also the One who ascended far above all the heavens, that He might fill all things.)

nkjv@Ephesians:4:11 @ And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers,

nkjv@Ephesians:4:12 @ for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ,

nkjv@Ephesians:4:13 @ till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;

nkjv@Ephesians:4:15 @ but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head--Christ--

nkjv@Ephesians:4:17 @ This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind,

nkjv@Ephesians:4:18 @ having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart;

nkjv@Ephesians:4:20 @ But you have not so learned Christ,

nkjv@Ephesians:4:21 @ if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus:

nkjv@Ephesians:4:25 @ Therefore, putting away lying, "Let each one of you speak truth with his neighbor," for we are members of one another.

nkjv@Ephesians:4:28 @ Let him who stole steal no longer, but rather let him labor, working with his hands what is good, that he may have something to give him who has need.

nkjv@Ephesians:4:29 @ Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers.

nkjv@Ephesians:4:32 @ And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.

nkjv@Ephesians:5:2 @ And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma.

nkjv@Ephesians:5:3 @ But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints;

nkjv@Ephesians:5:4 @ neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks.

nkjv@Ephesians:5:5 @ For this you know, that no fornicator, unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.

nkjv@Ephesians:5:6 @ Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.

nkjv@Ephesians:5:9 @ (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth),

nkjv@Ephesians:5:10 @ finding out what is acceptable to the Lord.

nkjv@Ephesians:5:12 @ For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret.

nkjv@Ephesians:5:13 @ But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light.

nkjv@Ephesians:5:14 @ Therefore He says: "Awake, you who sleep, Arise from the dead, And Christ will give you light."

nkjv@Ephesians:5:15 @ See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise,

nkjv@Ephesians:5:17 @ Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is.

nkjv@Ephesians:5:18 @ And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit,

nkjv@Ephesians:5:20 @ giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,

nkjv@Ephesians:5:23 @ For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body.

nkjv@Ephesians:5:24 @ Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.

nkjv@Ephesians:5:25 @ Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her,

nkjv@Ephesians:5:27 @ that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish.

nkjv@Ephesians:5:28 @ So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself.

nkjv@Ephesians:5:29 @ For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church.

nkjv@Ephesians:5:30 @ For we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones.

nkjv@Ephesians:5:31 @ "For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh."

nkjv@Ephesians:5:32 @ This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church.

nkjv@Ephesians:5:33 @ Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.

nkjv@Ephesians:6:1 @ Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.

nkjv@Ephesians:6:2 @ "Honor your father and mother," which is the first commandment with promise:

nkjv@Ephesians:6:5 @ Bondservants, be obedient to those who are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in sincerity of heart, as to Christ;

nkjv@Ephesians:6:6 @ not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but as bondservants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart,

nkjv@Ephesians:6:8 @ knowing that whatever good anyone does, he will receive the same from the Lord, whether he is a slave or free.

nkjv@Ephesians:6:9 @ And you, masters, do the same things to them, giving up threatening, knowing that your own Master also is in heaven, and there is no partiality with Him.

nkjv@Ephesians:6:10 @ Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.

nkjv@Ephesians:6:12 @ For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

nkjv@Ephesians:6:14 @ Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness,

nkjv@Ephesians:6:17 @ And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;

nkjv@Ephesians:6:18 @ praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints--

nkjv@Ephesians:6:21 @ But that you also may know my affairs and how I am doing, Tychicus, a beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, will make all things known to you;

nkjv@Ephesians:6:22 @ whom I have sent to you for this very purpose, that you may know our affairs, and that he may comfort your hearts.

nkjv@Ephesians:6:23 @ Peace to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

nkjv@Ephesians:6:24 @ Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen.

nkjv@Philippians:1:1 @ Paul and Timothy, bondservants of Jesus Christ, To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, with the bishops and deacons:

nkjv@Philippians:1:2 @ Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

nkjv@Philippians:1:6 @ being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ;

nkjv@Philippians:1:7 @ just as it is right for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart, inasmuch as both in my chains and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers with me of grace.

nkjv@Philippians:1:8 @ For God is my witness, how greatly I long for you all with the affection of Jesus Christ.

nkjv@Philippians:1:9 @ And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment,

nkjv@Philippians:1:10 @ that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ,

nkjv@Philippians:1:11 @ being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are by Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

nkjv@Philippians:1:13 @ so that it has become evident to the whole palace guard, and to all the rest, that my chains are in Christ;

nkjv@Philippians:1:15 @ Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from goodwill:

nkjv@Philippians:1:16 @ The former preach Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains;

nkjv@Philippians:1:18 @ What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes, and will rejoice.

nkjv@Philippians:1:19 @ For I know that this will turn out for my deliverance through your prayer and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

nkjv@Philippians:1:20 @ according to my earnest expectation and hope that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.

nkjv@Philippians:1:21 @ For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

nkjv@Philippians:1:22 @ But if I live on in the flesh, this will mean fruit from my labor; yet what I shall choose I cannot tell.

nkjv@Philippians:1:23 @ For I am hard-pressed between the two, having a desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better.

nkjv@Philippians:1:24 @ Nevertheless to remain in the flesh is more needful for you.

nkjv@Philippians:1:25 @ And being confident of this, I know that I shall remain and continue with you all for your progress and joy of faith,

nkjv@Philippians:1:26 @ that your rejoicing for me may be more abundant in Jesus Christ by my coming to you again.

nkjv@Philippians:1:27 @ Only let your conduct be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel,

nkjv@Philippians:1:28 @ and not in any way terrified by your adversaries, which is to them a proof of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that from God.

nkjv@Philippians:1:29 @ For to you it has been granted on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for His sake,

nkjv@Philippians:1:30 @ having the same conflict which you saw in me and now hear is in me.

nkjv@Philippians:2:1 @ Therefore if there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and mercy,

nkjv@Philippians:2:3 @ Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself.

nkjv@Philippians:2:4 @ Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.

nkjv@Philippians:2:5 @ Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus,

nkjv@Philippians:2:9 @ Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name,

nkjv@Philippians:2:11 @ and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

nkjv@Philippians:2:13 @ for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.

nkjv@Philippians:2:14 @ Do all things without complaining and disputing,

nkjv@Philippians:2:16 @ holding fast the word of life, so that I may rejoice in the day of Christ that I have not run in vain or labored in vain.

nkjv@Philippians:2:21 @ For all seek their own, not the things which are of Christ Jesus.

nkjv@Philippians:2:22 @ But you know his proven character, that as a son with his father he served with me in the gospel.

nkjv@Philippians:2:25 @ Yet I considered it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow worker, and fellow soldier, but your messenger and the one who ministered to my need;

nkjv@Philippians:2:26 @ since he was longing for you all, and was distressed because you had heard that he was sick.

nkjv@Philippians:2:30 @ because for the work of Christ he came close to death, not regarding his life, to supply what was lacking in your service toward me.

nkjv@Philippians:3:1 @ Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. For me to write the same things to you is not tedious, but for you it is safe.

nkjv@Philippians:3:3 @ For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh,

nkjv@Philippians:3:5 @ circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of the Hebrews; concerning the law, a Pharisee;

nkjv@Philippians:3:6 @ concerning zeal, persecuting the church; concerning the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.

nkjv@Philippians:3:7 @ But what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ.

nkjv@Philippians:3:8 @ Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ

nkjv@Philippians:3:9 @ and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith;

nkjv@Philippians:3:10 @ that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death,

nkjv@Philippians:3:12 @ Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me.

nkjv@Philippians:3:14 @ I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

nkjv@Philippians:3:15 @ Therefore let us, as many as are mature, have this mind; and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal even this to you.

nkjv@Philippians:3:18 @ For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:

nkjv@Philippians:3:19 @ whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame--who set their mind on earthly things.

nkjv@Philippians:3:20 @ For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,

nkjv@Philippians:3:21 @ who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body, according to the working by which He is able even to subdue all things to Himself.

nkjv@Philippians:4:5 @ Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.

nkjv@Philippians:4:7 @ and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

nkjv@Philippians:4:8 @ Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy--meditate on these things.

nkjv@Philippians:4:10 @ But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at last your1 care for me has flourished again; though you surely did care, but you lacked opportunity.

nkjv@Philippians:4:13 @ I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

nkjv@Philippians:4:14 @ Nevertheless you have done well that you shared in my distress.

nkjv@Philippians:4:19 @ And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

nkjv@Philippians:4:21 @ Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren who are with me greet you.

nkjv@Philippians:4:23 @ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

nkjv@Colossians:1:2 @ To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ who are in Colosse: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

nkjv@Colossians:1:3 @ We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,

nkjv@Colossians:1:4 @ since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of your love for all the saints;

nkjv@Colossians:1:5 @ because of the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, of which you heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel,

nkjv@Colossians:1:6 @ which has come to you, as it has also in all the world, and is bringing forth fruit, as it is also among you since the day you heard and knew the grace of God in truth;

nkjv@Colossians:1:7 @ as you also learned from Epaphras, our dear fellow servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ on your behalf,

nkjv@Colossians:1:9 @ For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;

nkjv@Colossians:1:11 @ strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy;

nkjv@Colossians:1:13 @ He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love,

nkjv@Colossians:1:14 @ in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.

nkjv@Colossians:1:15 @ He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.

nkjv@Colossians:1:16 @ For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him.

nkjv@Colossians:1:17 @ And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.

nkjv@Colossians:1:18 @ And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence.

nkjv@Colossians:1:20 @ and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross.

nkjv@Colossians:1:22 @ in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight--

nkjv@Colossians:1:23 @ if indeed you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and are not moved away from the hope of the gospel which you heard, which was preached to every creature under heaven, of which I, Paul, became a minister.

nkjv@Colossians:1:24 @ I now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up in my flesh what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ, for the sake of His body, which is the church,

nkjv@Colossians:1:25 @ of which I became a minister according to the stewardship from God which was given to me for you, to fulfill the word of God,

nkjv@Colossians:1:26 @ the mystery which has been hidden from ages and from generations, but now has been revealed to His saints.

nkjv@Colossians:1:27 @ To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

nkjv@Colossians:1:28 @ Him we preach, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus.

nkjv@Colossians:1:29 @ To this end I also labor, striving according to His working which works in me mightily.

nkjv@Colossians:2:2 @ that their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, and attaining to all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the knowledge of the mystery of God, both of the Father and of Christ,

nkjv@Colossians:2:3 @ in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

nkjv@Colossians:2:4 @ Now this I say lest anyone should deceive you with persuasive words.

nkjv@Colossians:2:5 @ For though I am absent in the flesh, yet I am with you in spirit, rejoicing to see your good order and the steadfastness of your faith in Christ.

nkjv@Colossians:2:6 @ As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him,

nkjv@Colossians:2:7 @ rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.

nkjv@Colossians:2:8 @ Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ.

nkjv@Colossians:2:10 @ and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.

nkjv@Colossians:2:11 @ In Him you were also circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the sins of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ,

nkjv@Colossians:2:12 @ buried with Him in baptism, in which you also were raised with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead.

nkjv@Colossians:2:13 @ And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses,

nkjv@Colossians:2:15 @ Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.

nkjv@Colossians:2:17 @ which are a shadow of things to come, but the substance is of Christ.

nkjv@Colossians:2:18 @ Let no one cheat you of your reward, taking delight in false humility and worship of angels, intruding into those things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,

nkjv@Colossians:2:19 @ and not holding fast to the Head, from whom all the body, nourished and knit together by joints and ligaments, grows with the increase that is from God.

nkjv@Colossians:2:20 @ Therefore, if you died with Christ from the basic principles of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to regulations--

nkjv@Colossians:2:22 @ which all concern things which perish with the using--according to the commandments and doctrines of men?

nkjv@Colossians:2:23 @ These things indeed have an appearance of wisdom in self-imposed religion, false humility, and neglect of the body, but are of no value against the indulgence of the flesh.

nkjv@Colossians:3:1 @ If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God.

nkjv@Colossians:3:3 @ For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

nkjv@Colossians:3:4 @ When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.

nkjv@Colossians:3:5 @ Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.

nkjv@Colossians:3:6 @ Because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience,

nkjv@Colossians:3:9 @ Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds,

nkjv@Colossians:3:10 @ and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him,

nkjv@Colossians:3:11 @ where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free, but Christ is all and in all.

nkjv@Colossians:3:14 @ But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection.

nkjv@Colossians:3:16 @ Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

nkjv@Colossians:3:18 @ Wives, submit to your own husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.

nkjv@Colossians:3:20 @ Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well pleasing to the Lord.

nkjv@Colossians:4:11 @ and Jesus who is called Justus. These are my only fellow workers for the kingdom of God who are of the circumcision; they have proved to be a comfort to me.

nkjv@Colossians:4:12 @ Epaphras, who is one of you, a bondservant of Christ, greets you, always laboring fervently for you in prayers, that you may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.

nkjv@Colossians:4:13 @ For I bear him witness that he has a great zeal for you, and those who are in Laodicea, and those in Hierapolis.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:1:10 @ and to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, even Jesus who delivers us from the wrath to come.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:2:5 @ For neither at any time did we use flattering words, as you know, nor a cloak for covetousness--God is witness.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:2:6 @ Nor did we seek glory from men, either from you or from others, when we might have made demands as apostles of Christ.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:2:12 @ that you would walk worthy of God who calls you into His own kingdom and glory.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:2:13 @ For this reason we also thank God without ceasing, because when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you welcomed it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which also effectively works in you who believe.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:2:14 @ For you, brethren, became imitators of the churches of God which are in Judea in Christ Jesus. For you also suffered the same things from your own countrymen, just as they did from the Judeans,

nkjv@1Thessalonians:3:11 @ Now may our God and Father Himself, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way to you.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:3:13 @ so that He may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all His saints.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:4:3 @ For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you should abstain from sexual immorality;

nkjv@1Thessalonians:4:4 @ that each of you should know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor,

nkjv@1Thessalonians:4:6 @ that no one should take advantage of and defraud his brother in this matter, because the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also forewarned you and testified.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:4:8 @ Therefore he who rejects this does not reject man, but God, who has also given us His Holy Spirit.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:4:15 @ For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:4:16 @ For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:5:4 @ But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:5:9 @ For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

nkjv@1Thessalonians:5:12 @ And we urge you, brethren, to recognize those who labor among you, and are over you in the Lord and admonish you,

nkjv@1Thessalonians:5:15 @ See that no one renders evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue what is good both for yourselves and for all.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:5:18 @ in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:5:20 @ Do not despise prophecies.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:5:21 @ Test all things; hold fast what is good.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:5:23 @ Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:5:24 @ He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:5:26 @ Greet all the brethren with a holy kiss.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:5:27 @ I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read to all the holy brethren.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:5:28 @ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.

nkjv@2Thessalonians:1:1 @ Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, To the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:

nkjv@2Thessalonians:1:2 @ Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

nkjv@2Thessalonians:1:3 @ We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is fitting, because your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of every one of you all abounds toward each other,

nkjv@2Thessalonians:1:5 @ which is manifest evidence of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you also suffer;

nkjv@2Thessalonians:1:6 @ since it is a righteous thing with God to repay with tribulation those who trouble you,

nkjv@2Thessalonians:1:7 @ and to give you who are troubled rest with us when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels,

nkjv@2Thessalonians:1:8 @ in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God, and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.

nkjv@2Thessalonians:1:9 @ These shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power,

nkjv@2Thessalonians:1:10 @ when He comes, in that Day, to be glorified in His saints and to be admired among all those who believe, because our testimony among you was believed.

nkjv@2Thessalonians:1:11 @ Therefore we also pray always for you that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of His goodness and the work of faith with power,

nkjv@2Thessalonians:1:12 @ that the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and you in Him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

nkjv@2Thessalonians:2:1 @ Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you,

nkjv@2Thessalonians:2:2 @ not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come.

nkjv@2Thessalonians:2:3 @ Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition,

nkjv@2Thessalonians:2:4 @ who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.

nkjv@2Thessalonians:2:6 @ And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time.

nkjv@2Thessalonians:2:7 @ For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way.

nkjv@2Thessalonians:2:8 @ And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.

nkjv@2Thessalonians:2:9 @ The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders,

nkjv@2Thessalonians:2:10 @ and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

nkjv@2Thessalonians:2:11 @ And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie,

nkjv@2Thessalonians:2:14 @ to which He called you by our gospel, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

nkjv@2Thessalonians:2:15 @ Therefore, brethren, stand fast and hold the traditions which you were taught, whether by word or our epistle.

nkjv@2Thessalonians:2:16 @ Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and our God and Father, who has loved us and given us everlasting consolation and good hope by grace,

nkjv@2Thessalonians:2:17 @ comfort your hearts and establish you in every good word and work.

nkjv@2Thessalonians:3:1 @ Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may run swiftly and be glorified, just as it is with you,

nkjv@2Thessalonians:3:3 @ But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one.

nkjv@2Thessalonians:3:5 @ Now may the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God and into the patience of Christ.

nkjv@2Thessalonians:3:6 @ But we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw from every brother who walks disorderly and not according to the tradition which he received from us.

nkjv@2Thessalonians:3:7 @ For you yourselves know how you ought to follow us, for we were not disorderly among you;

nkjv@2Thessalonians:3:10 @ For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat.

nkjv@2Thessalonians:3:11 @ For we hear that there are some who walk among you in a disorderly manner, not working at all, but are busybodies.

nkjv@2Thessalonians:3:12 @ Now those who are such we command and exhort through our Lord Jesus Christ that they work in quietness and eat their own bread.

nkjv@2Thessalonians:3:14 @ And if anyone does not obey our word in this epistle, note that person and do not keep company with him, that he may be ashamed.

nkjv@2Thessalonians:3:15 @ Yet do not count him as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.

nkjv@2Thessalonians:3:17 @ The salutation of Paul with my own hand, which is a sign in every epistle; so I write.

nkjv@1Timothy:1:4 @ nor give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which cause disputes rather than godly edification which is in faith.

nkjv@1Timothy:1:5 @ Now the purpose of the commandment is love from a pure heart, from a good conscience, and from sincere faith,

nkjv@1Timothy:1:8 @ But we know that the law is good if one uses it lawfully,

nkjv@1Timothy:1:9 @ knowing this: that the law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and for sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,

nkjv@1Timothy:1:10 @ for fornicators, for sodomites, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and if there is any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine,

nkjv@1Timothy:1:12 @ And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord who has enabled me, because He counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry,

nkjv@1Timothy:1:14 @ And the grace of our Lord was exceedingly abundant, with faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.

nkjv@1Timothy:1:15 @ This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.

nkjv@1Timothy:1:16 @ However, for this reason I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show all longsuffering, as a pattern to those who are going to believe on Him for everlasting life.

nkjv@1Timothy:1:17 @ Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.

nkjv@1Timothy:1:18 @ This charge I commit to you, son Timothy, according to the prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you may wage the good warfare,

nkjv@1Timothy:2:3 @ For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,

nkjv@1Timothy:2:5 @ For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus,

nkjv@1Timothy:2:11 @ Let a woman learn in silence with all submission.

nkjv@1Timothy:3:1 @ This is a faithful saying: If a man desires the position of a bishop, he desires a good work.

nkjv@1Timothy:3:2 @ A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, temperate, sober-minded, of good behavior, hospitable, able to teach;

nkjv@1Timothy:3:4 @ one who rules his own house well, having his children in submission with all reverence

nkjv@1Timothy:3:5 @ (for if a man does not know how to rule his own house, how will he take care of the church of God?);

nkjv@1Timothy:3:8 @ Likewise deacons must be reverent, not double-tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy for money,

nkjv@1Timothy:3:11 @ Likewise, their wives must be reverent, not slanderers, temperate, faithful in all things.

nkjv@1Timothy:3:13 @ For those who have served well as deacons obtain for themselves a good standing and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.

nkjv@1Timothy:3:15 @ but if I am delayed, I write so that you may know how you ought to conduct yourself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.

nkjv@1Timothy:3:16 @ And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifested in the flesh, Justified in the Spirit, Seen by angels, Preached among the Gentiles, Believed on in the world, Received up in glory.

nkjv@1Timothy:4:2 @ speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron,

nkjv@1Timothy:4:4 @ For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be refused if it is received with thanksgiving;

nkjv@1Timothy:4:5 @ for it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

nkjv@1Timothy:4:6 @ If you instruct the brethren in these things, you will be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished in the words of faith and of the good doctrine which you have carefully followed.

nkjv@1Timothy:4:7 @ But reject profane and old wives' fables, and exercise yourself toward godliness.

nkjv@1Timothy:4:8 @ For bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come.

nkjv@1Timothy:4:9 @ This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance.

nkjv@1Timothy:4:10 @ For to this end we both labor and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of those who believe.

nkjv@1Timothy:4:12 @ Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity.

nkjv@1Timothy:4:14 @ Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the eldership.

nkjv@1Timothy:4:16 @ Take heed to yourself and to the doctrine. Continue in them, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you.

nkjv@1Timothy:5:2 @ older women as mothers, younger women as sisters, with all purity.

nkjv@1Timothy:5:4 @ But if any widow has children or grandchildren, let them first learn to show piety at home and to repay their parents; for this is good and acceptable before God.

nkjv@1Timothy:5:5 @ Now she who is really a widow, and left alone, trusts in God and continues in supplications and prayers night and day.

nkjv@1Timothy:5:6 @ But she who lives in pleasure is dead while she lives.

nkjv@1Timothy:5:8 @ But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

nkjv@1Timothy:5:11 @ But refuse the younger widows; for when they have begun to grow wanton against Christ, they desire to marry,

nkjv@1Timothy:5:18 @ For the Scripture says, "You shall not muzzle an ox while it treads out the grain," and, "The laborer is worthy of his wages."

nkjv@1Timothy:5:21 @ I charge you before God and the Lord Jesus Christ and the elect angels that you observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing with partiality.

nkjv@1Timothy:5:25 @ Likewise, the good works of some are clearly evident, and those that are otherwise cannot be hidden.

nkjv@1Timothy:6:1 @ Let as many bondservants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honor, so that the name of God and His doctrine may not be blasphemed.

nkjv@1Timothy:6:2 @ And those who have believing masters, let them not despise them because they are brethren, but rather serve them because those who are benefited are believers and beloved. Teach and exhort these things.

nkjv@1Timothy:6:4 @ he is proud, knowing nothing, but is obsessed with disputes and arguments over words, from which come envy, strife, reviling, evil suspicions,

nkjv@1Timothy:6:5 @ useless wranglings of men of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain. From such withdraw yourself.

nkjv@1Timothy:6:6 @ Now godliness with contentment is great gain.

nkjv@1Timothy:6:7 @ For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.

nkjv@1Timothy:6:9 @ But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition.

nkjv@1Timothy:6:10 @ For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

nkjv@1Timothy:6:13 @ I urge you in the sight of God who gives life to all things, and before Christ Jesus who witnessed the good confession before Pontius Pilate,

nkjv@1Timothy:6:14 @ that you keep this commandment without spot, blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ's appearing,

nkjv@1Timothy:6:15 @ which He will manifest in His own time, He who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings and Lord of lords,

nkjv@1Timothy:6:17 @ Command those who are rich in this present age not to be haughty, nor to trust in uncertain riches but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy.

nkjv@2Timothy:1:6 @ Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands.

nkjv@2Timothy:1:8 @ Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner, but share with me in the sufferings for the gospel according to the power of God,

nkjv@2Timothy:1:9 @ who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began,

nkjv@2Timothy:1:10 @ but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel,

nkjv@2Timothy:1:12 @ For this reason I also suffer these things; nevertheless I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep what I have committed to Him until that Day.

nkjv@2Timothy:1:13 @ Hold fast the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.

nkjv@2Timothy:1:15 @ This you know, that all those in Asia have turned away from me, among whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.

nkjv@2Timothy:1:18 @ The Lord grant to him that he may find mercy from the Lord in that Day--and you know very well how many ways he ministered to me at Ephesus.

nkjv@2Timothy:2:1 @ You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

nkjv@2Timothy:2:3 @ You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.

nkjv@2Timothy:2:4 @ No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier.

nkjv@2Timothy:2:5 @ And also if anyone competes in athletics, he is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules.

nkjv@2Timothy:2:8 @ Remember that Jesus Christ, of the seed of David, was raised from the dead according to my gospel,

nkjv@2Timothy:2:9 @ for which I suffer trouble as an evildoer, even to the point of chains; but the word of God is not chained.

nkjv@2Timothy:2:10 @ Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

nkjv@2Timothy:2:11 @ This is a faithful saying: For if we died with Him, We shall also live with Him.

nkjv@2Timothy:2:17 @ And their message will spread like cancer. Hymenaeus and Philetus are of this sort,

nkjv@2Timothy:2:18 @ who have strayed concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection is already past; and they overthrow the faith of some.

nkjv@2Timothy:2:19 @ Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: "The Lord knows those who are His," and, "Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity."

nkjv@2Timothy:2:20 @ But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay, some for honor and some for dishonor.

nkjv@2Timothy:3:3 @ unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good,

nkjv@2Timothy:3:6 @ For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts,

nkjv@2Timothy:3:8 @ Now as Jannes and Jambres resisted Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, disapproved concerning the faith;

nkjv@2Timothy:3:12 @ Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.

nkjv@Hebrews:1:8 @ But to the Son He says: "Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom.

nkjv@Hebrews:1:11 @ They will perish, but You remain; And they will all grow old like a garment;

nkjv@Hebrews:1:14 @ Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation?

nkjv@Hebrews:2:2 @ For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just reward,

nkjv@Hebrews:2:4 @ God also bearing witness both with signs and wonders, with various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to His own will?

nkjv@Hebrews:2:6 @ But one testified in a certain place, saying: "What is man that You are mindful of him, Or the son of man that You take care of him?

nkjv@Hebrews:2:8 @ You have put all things in subjection under his feet." For in that He put all in subjection under him, He left nothing that is not put under him. But now we do not yet see all things put under him.

nkjv@Hebrews:2:11 @ For both He who sanctifies and those who are being sanctified are all of one, for which reason He is not ashamed to call them brethren,

nkjv@Hebrews:2:12 @ saying: "I will declare Your name to My brethren; In the midst of the assembly I will sing praise to You."

nkjv@Hebrews:2:14 @ Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil,

nkjv@Hebrews:2:17 @ Therefore, in all things He had to be made like His brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.

nkjv@Hebrews:2:18 @ For in that He Himself has suffered, being tempted, He is able to aid those who are tempted.

nkjv@Hebrews:3:1 @ Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Christ Jesus,

nkjv@Hebrews:3:2 @ who was faithful to Him who appointed Him, as Moses also was faithful in all His house.

nkjv@Hebrews:3:3 @ For this One has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as He who built the house has more honor than the house.

nkjv@Hebrews:3:4 @ For every house is built by someone, but He who built all things is God.

nkjv@Hebrews:3:5 @ And Moses indeed was faithful in all His house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which would be spoken afterward,

nkjv@Hebrews:3:6 @ but Christ as a Son over His own house, whose house we are if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm to the end.

nkjv@Hebrews:3:7 @ Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says: "Today, if you will hear His voice,

nkjv@Hebrews:3:13 @ but exhort one another daily, while it is called "Today," lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

nkjv@Hebrews:3:14 @ For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end,

nkjv@Hebrews:3:15 @ while it is said: "Today, if you will hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion."

nkjv@Hebrews:3:18 @ And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who did not obey?

nkjv@Hebrews:4:1 @ Therefore, since a promise remains of entering His rest, let us fear lest any of you seem to have come short of it.

nkjv@Hebrews:4:3 @ For we who have believed do enter that rest, as He has said: "So I swore in My wrath, "They shall not enter My rest,"' although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

nkjv@Hebrews:4:4 @ For He has spoken in a certain place of the seventh day in this way: "And God rested on the seventh day from all His works";

nkjv@Hebrews:4:5 @ and again in this place: "They shall not enter My rest."

nkjv@Hebrews:4:6 @ Since therefore it remains that some must enter it, and those to whom it was first preached did not enter because of disobedience,

nkjv@Hebrews:4:7 @ again He designates a certain day, saying in David, "Today," after such a long time, as it has been said: "Today, if you will hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts."

nkjv@Hebrews:4:10 @ For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His.

nkjv@Hebrews:4:11 @ Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience.

nkjv@Hebrews:4:12 @ For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

nkjv@Hebrews:4:13 @ And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.

nkjv@Hebrews:5:1 @ For every high priest taken from among men is appointed for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins.

nkjv@Hebrews:5:2 @ He can have compassion on those who are ignorant and going astray, since he himself is also subject to weakness.

nkjv@Hebrews:5:3 @ Because of this he is required as for the people, so also for himself, to offer sacrifices for sins.

nkjv@Hebrews:5:4 @ And no man takes this honor to himself, but he who is called by God, just as Aaron was.

nkjv@Hebrews:5:5 @ So also Christ did not glorify Himself to become High Priest, but it was He who said to Him: "You are My Son, Today I have begotten You."

nkjv@Hebrews:5:7 @ who, in the days of His flesh, when He had offered up prayers and supplications, with vehement cries and tears to Him who was able to save Him from death, and was heard because of His godly fear,

nkjv@Hebrews:5:12 @ For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God; and you have come to need milk and not solid food.

nkjv@Hebrews:5:13 @ For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe.

nkjv@Hebrews:5:14 @ But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

nkjv@Hebrews:6:1 @ Therefore, leaving the discussion of the elementary principles of Christ, let us go on to perfection, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God,

nkjv@Hebrews:6:2 @ of the doctrine of baptisms, of laying on of hands, of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.

nkjv@Hebrews:6:3 @ And this we will do if God permits.

nkjv@Hebrews:6:4 @ For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit,

nkjv@Hebrews:6:7 @ For the earth which drinks in the rain that often comes upon it, and bears herbs useful for those by whom it is cultivated, receives blessing from God;

nkjv@Hebrews:6:8 @ but if it bears thorns and briers, it is rejected and near to being cursed, whose end is to be burned.

nkjv@Hebrews:6:9 @ But, beloved, we are confident of better things concerning you, yes, things that accompany salvation, though we speak in this manner.

nkjv@Hebrews:6:10 @ For God is not unjust to forget your work and labor of love which you have shown toward His name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister.

nkjv@Hebrews:6:12 @ that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

nkjv@Hebrews:6:13 @ For when God made a promise to Abraham, because He could swear by no one greater, He swore by Himself,

nkjv@Hebrews:6:15 @ And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.

nkjv@Hebrews:6:16 @ For men indeed swear by the greater, and an oath for confirmation is for them an end of all dispute.

nkjv@Hebrews:6:17 @ Thus God, determining to show more abundantly to the heirs of promise the immutability of His counsel, confirmed it by an oath,

nkjv@Hebrews:6:18 @ that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us.

nkjv@Hebrews:6:19 @ This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters the Presence behind the veil,

nkjv@Hebrews:7:1 @ For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the Most High God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,

nkjv@Hebrews:7:4 @ Now consider how great this man was, to whom even the patriarch Abraham gave a tenth of the spoils.

nkjv@Hebrews:7:5 @ And indeed those who are of the sons of Levi, who receive the priesthood, have a commandment to receive tithes from the people according to the law, that is, from their brethren, though they have come from the loins of Abraham;

nkjv@Hebrews:7:6 @ but he whose genealogy is not derived from them received tithes from Abraham and blessed him who had the promises.

nkjv@Hebrews:7:7 @ Now beyond all contradiction the lesser is blessed by the better.

nkjv@Hebrews:7:8 @ Here mortal men receive tithes, but there he receives them, of whom it is witnessed that he lives.

nkjv@Hebrews:7:10 @ for he was still in the loins of his father when Melchizedek met him.

nkjv@Hebrews:7:11 @ Therefore, if perfection were through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people received the law), what further need was there that another priest should rise according to the order of Melchizedek, and not be called according to the order of Aaron?

nkjv@Hebrews:7:12 @ For the priesthood being changed, of necessity there is also a change of the law.

nkjv@Hebrews:7:14 @ For it is evident that our Lord arose from Judah, of which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood.

nkjv@Hebrews:7:15 @ And it is yet far more evident if, in the likeness of Melchizedek, there arises another priest

nkjv@Hebrews:7:18 @ For on the one hand there is an annulling of the former commandment because of its weakness and unprofitableness,

nkjv@Hebrews:7:19 @ for the law made nothing perfect; on the other hand, there is the bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.

nkjv@Hebrews:7:25 @ Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.

nkjv@Hebrews:7:26 @ For such a High Priest was fitting for us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and has become higher than the heavens;

nkjv@Hebrews:7:27 @ who does not need daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for His own sins and then for the people's, for this He did once for all when He offered up Himself.

nkjv@Hebrews:8:1 @ Now this is the main point of the things we are saying: We have such a High Priest, who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens,

nkjv@Hebrews:8:2 @ a Minister of the sanctuary and of the true tabernacle which the Lord erected, and not man.

nkjv@Hebrews:8:3 @ For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices. Therefore it is necessary that this One also have something to offer.

nkjv@Hebrews:8:6 @ But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as He is also Mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises.

nkjv@Hebrews:8:8 @ Because finding fault with them, He says: "Behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah--

nkjv@Hebrews:8:9 @ not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they did not continue in My covenant, and I disregarded them, says the LORD.

nkjv@Hebrews:8:10 @ For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the LORD: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.

nkjv@Hebrews:8:11 @ None of them shall teach his neighbor, and none his brother, saying, "Know the LORD,' for all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them.

nkjv@Hebrews:8:13 @ In that He says, "A new covenant," He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.

nkjv@Hebrews:9:2 @ For a tabernacle was prepared: the first part, in which was the lampstand, the table, and the showbread, which is called the sanctuary;

nkjv@Hebrews:9:3 @ and behind the second veil, the part of the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of All,

nkjv@Hebrews:9:8 @ the Holy Spirit indicating this, that the way into the Holiest of All was not yet made manifest while the first tabernacle was still standing.

nkjv@Hebrews:9:11 @ But Christ came as High Priest of the good things to come, with the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of this creation.

nkjv@Hebrews:9:12 @ Not with the blood of goats and calves, but with His own blood He entered the Most Holy Place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption.

nkjv@Hebrews:9:14 @ how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

nkjv@Hebrews:9:15 @ And for this reason He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.

nkjv@Hebrews:9:16 @ For where there is a testament, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.

nkjv@Hebrews:9:17 @ For a testament is in force after men are dead, since it has no power at all while the testator lives.

nkjv@Hebrews:9:20 @ saying, "This is the blood of the covenant which God has commanded you."

nkjv@Hebrews:9:21 @ Then likewise he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry.

nkjv@Hebrews:9:22 @ And according to the law almost all things are purified with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no remission.

nkjv@Hebrews:9:24 @ For Christ has not entered the holy places made with hands, which are copies of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us;

nkjv@Hebrews:9:27 @ And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment,

nkjv@Hebrews:9:28 @ so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation.

nkjv@Hebrews:10:3 @ But in those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins every year.

nkjv@Hebrews:10:4 @ For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and goats could take away sins.

nkjv@Hebrews:10:7 @ Then I said, "Behold, I have come-- In the volume of the book it is written of Me-- To do Your will, O God."'

nkjv@Hebrews:10:9 @ then He said, "Behold, I have come to do Your will, O God." He takes away the first that He may establish the second.

nkjv@Hebrews:10:10 @ By that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

nkjv@Hebrews:10:11 @ And every priest stands ministering daily and offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.

nkjv@Hebrews:10:12 @ But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God,

nkjv@Hebrews:10:13 @ from that time waiting till His enemies are made His footstool.

nkjv@Hebrews:10:16 @ "This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the LORD: I will put My laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them,"

nkjv@Hebrews:10:18 @ Now where there is remission of these, there is no longer an offering for sin.

nkjv@Hebrews:10:20 @ by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh,

nkjv@Hebrews:10:23 @ Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.

nkjv@Hebrews:10:25 @ not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.

nkjv@Hebrews:10:29 @ Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, and insulted the Spirit of grace?

nkjv@Hebrews:10:30 @ For we know Him who said, "Vengeance is Mine, I will repay," says the Lord. And again, "The LORD will judge His people."

nkjv@Hebrews:10:31 @ It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

nkjv@Hebrews:10:36 @ For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise:

nkjv@Hebrews:10:37 @ "For yet a little while, And He who is coming will come and will not tarry.

nkjv@Hebrews:11:1 @ Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

nkjv@Hebrews:11:3 @ By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.

nkjv@Hebrews:11:4 @ By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts; and through it he being dead still speaks.

nkjv@Hebrews:11:5 @ By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, "and was not found, because God had taken him"; for before he was taken he had this testimony, that he pleased God.

nkjv@Hebrews:11:6 @ But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

nkjv@Hebrews:11:7 @ By faith Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.

nkjv@Hebrews:11:9 @ By faith he dwelt in the land of promise as in a foreign country, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise;

nkjv@Hebrews:11:10 @ for he waited for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

nkjv@Hebrews:11:11 @ By faith Sarah herself also received strength to conceive seed, and she bore a child when she was past the age, because she judged Him faithful who had promised.

nkjv@Hebrews:11:12 @ Therefore from one man, and him as good as dead, were born as many as the stars of the sky in multitude--innumerable as the sand which is by the seashore.

nkjv@Hebrews:11:13 @ These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off were assured of them, embraced them and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

nkjv@Hebrews:11:16 @ But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them.

nkjv@Hebrews:11:17 @ By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises offered up his only begotten son,

nkjv@Hebrews:11:18 @ of whom it was said, "In Isaac your seed shall be called,"

nkjv@Hebrews:11:19 @ concluding that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead, from which he also received him in a figurative sense.

nkjv@Hebrews:11:20 @ By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.

nkjv@Hebrews:11:21 @ By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and worshiped, leaning on the top of his staff.

nkjv@Hebrews:11:22 @ By faith Joseph, when he was dying, made mention of the departure of the children of Israel, and gave instructions concerning his bones.

nkjv@Hebrews:11:23 @ By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden three months by his parents, because they saw he was a beautiful child; and they were not afraid of the king's command.

nkjv@Hebrews:11:26 @ esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt; for he looked to the reward.

nkjv@Hebrews:11:27 @ By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured as seeing Him who is invisible.

nkjv@Hebrews:11:31 @ By faith the harlot Rahab did not perish with those who did not believe, when she had received the spies with peace.

nkjv@Hebrews:11:33 @ who through faith subdued kingdoms, worked righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,

nkjv@Hebrews:11:35 @ Women received their dead raised to life again. Others were tortured, not accepting deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection.

nkjv@Hebrews:11:36 @ Still others had trial of mockings and scourgings, yes, and of chains and imprisonment.

nkjv@Hebrews:11:39 @ And all these, having obtained a good testimony through faith, did not receive the promise,

nkjv@Hebrews:12:1 @ Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,

nkjv@Hebrews:12:2 @ looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

nkjv@Hebrews:12:4 @ You have not yet resisted to bloodshed, striving against sin.

nkjv@James:1:8 @ he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

nkjv@James:1:9 @ Let the lowly brother glory in his exaltation,

nkjv@James:1:11 @ For no sooner has the sun risen with a burning heat than it withers the grass; its flower falls, and its beautiful appearance perishes. So the rich man also will fade away in his pursuits.

nkjv@James:1:12 @ Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.

nkjv@James:1:13 @ Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone.

nkjv@James:1:14 @ But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed.

nkjv@James:1:15 @ Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death.

nkjv@James:1:17 @ Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.

nkjv@James:1:18 @ Of His own will He brought us forth by the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures.

nkjv@James:1:21 @ Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.

nkjv@James:1:23 @ For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror;

nkjv@James:1:25 @ But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.

nkjv@James:1:26 @ If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one's religion is useless.

nkjv@James:1:27 @ Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.

nkjv@James:2:1 @ My brethren, do not hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with partiality.

nkjv@James:2:5 @ Listen, my beloved brethren: Has God not chosen the poor of this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which He promised to those who love Him?

nkjv@James:2:6 @ But you have dishonored the poor man. Do not the rich oppress you and drag you into the courts?

nkjv@James:2:10 @ For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all.

nkjv@James:2:15 @ If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food,

nkjv@James:2:17 @ Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.

nkjv@James:2:19 @ You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe--and tremble!

nkjv@James:2:20 @ But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead?

nkjv@James:2:21 @ Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar?

nkjv@James:2:22 @ Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect?

nkjv@James:2:24 @ You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only.

nkjv@James:2:25 @ Likewise, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way?

nkjv@James:2:26 @ For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

nkjv@James:3:2 @ For we all stumble in many things. If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body.

nkjv@James:3:5 @ Even so the tongue is a little member and boasts great things. See how great a forest a little fire kindles!

nkjv@James:3:6 @ And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. The tongue is so set among our members that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire by hell.

nkjv@James:3:7 @ For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and creature of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by mankind.

nkjv@James:3:8 @ But no man can tame the tongue. It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.

nkjv@James:3:13 @ Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by good conduct that his works are done in the meekness of wisdom.

nkjv@James:3:15 @ This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic.

nkjv@James:3:16 @ For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there.

nkjv@James:3:17 @ But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.

nkjv@James:3:18 @ Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.

nkjv@James:4:3 @ You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures.

nkjv@James:4:4 @ Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

nkjv@James:4:6 @ But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: "God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble."

nkjv@James:4:7 @ Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.

nkjv@James:4:11 @ Do not speak evil of one another, brethren. He who speaks evil of a brother and judges his brother, speaks evil of the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge.

nkjv@James:4:12 @ There is one Lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy. Who are you to judge another?

nkjv@James:4:14 @ whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.

nkjv@James:4:15 @ Instead you ought to say, "If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that."

nkjv@James:4:16 @ But now you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil.

nkjv@James:4:17 @ Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.

nkjv@James:5:1 @ Come now, you rich, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming upon you!

nkjv@James:5:6 @ You have condemned, you have murdered the just; he does not resist you.

nkjv@James:5:8 @ You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.

nkjv@James:5:9 @ Do not grumble against one another, brethren, lest you be condemned. Behold, the Judge is standing at the door!

nkjv@James:5:11 @ Indeed we count them blessed who endure. You have heard of the perseverance of Job and seen the end intended by the Lord--that the Lord is very compassionate and merciful.

nkjv@James:5:13 @ Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing psalms.

nkjv@James:5:14 @ Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord.

nkjv@James:5:15 @ And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.

nkjv@James:5:20 @ let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death and cover a multitude of sins.

nkjv@1Peter:1:1 @ Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, To the pilgrims of the Dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,

nkjv@1Peter:1:2 @ elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, for obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace be multiplied.

nkjv@1Peter:1:3 @ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

nkjv@1Peter:1:6 @ In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials,

nkjv@1Peter:1:7 @ that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ,

nkjv@1Peter:1:10 @ Of this salvation the prophets have inquired and searched carefully, who prophesied of the grace that would come to you,

nkjv@1Peter:1:11 @ searching what, or what manner of time, the Spirit of Christ who was in them was indicating when He testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow.

nkjv@1Peter:1:12 @ To them it was revealed that, not to themselves, but to us they were ministering the things which now have been reported to you through those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven--things which angels desire to look into.

nkjv@1Peter:1:13 @ Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;

nkjv@1Peter:1:15 @ but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct,

nkjv@1Peter:1:16 @ because it is written, "Be holy, for I am holy."

nkjv@1Peter:1:19 @ but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.

nkjv@1Peter:1:21 @ who through Him believe in God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.

nkjv@1Peter:1:24 @ because "All flesh is as grass, And all the glory of man as the flower of the grass. The grass withers, And its flower falls away,

nkjv@1Peter:1:25 @ But the word of the LORD endures forever." Now this is the word which by the gospel was preached to you.

nkjv@1Peter:2:1 @ Therefore, laying aside all malice, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all evil speaking,

nkjv@1Peter:2:3 @ if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious.

nkjv@1Peter:2:5 @ you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

nkjv@1Peter:2:6 @ Therefore it is also contained in the Scripture, "Behold, I lay in Zion A chief cornerstone, elect, precious, And he who believes on Him will by no means be put to shame."

nkjv@1Peter:2:7 @ Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious; but to those who are disobedient, "The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone,"

nkjv@1Peter:2:8 @ and "A stone of stumbling And a rock of offense." They stumble, being disobedient to the word, to which they also were appointed.

nkjv@1Peter:2:9 @ But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;

nkjv@1Peter:2:12 @ having your conduct honorable among the Gentiles, that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may, by your good works which they observe, glorify God in the day of visitation.

nkjv@1Peter:2:14 @ or to governors, as to those who are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and for the praise of those who do good.

nkjv@1Peter:2:15 @ For this is the will of God, that by doing good you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men--

nkjv@1Peter:2:18 @ Servants, be submissive to your masters with all fear, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the harsh.

nkjv@1Peter:2:19 @ For this is commendable, if because of conscience toward God one endures grief, suffering wrongfully.

nkjv@1Peter:2:20 @ For what credit is it if, when you are beaten for your faults, you take it patiently? But when you do good and suffer, if you take it patiently, this is commendable before God.

nkjv@1Peter:2:21 @ For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps:

nkjv@1Peter:2:22 @ "Who committed no sin, Nor was deceit found in His mouth";

nkjv@1Peter:2:24 @ who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness--by whose stripes you were healed.

nkjv@1Peter:3:1 @ Wives, likewise, be submissive to your own husbands, that even if some do not obey the word, they, without a word, may be won by the conduct of their wives,

nkjv@1Peter:3:4 @ rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God.

nkjv@1Peter:3:5 @ For in this manner, in former times, the holy women who trusted in God also adorned themselves, being submissive to their own husbands,

nkjv@1Peter:3:7 @ Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered.

nkjv@1Peter:3:9 @ not returning evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary blessing, knowing that you were called to this, that you may inherit a blessing.

nkjv@1Peter:3:10 @ For "He who would love life And see good days, Let him refrain his tongue from evil, And his lips from speaking deceit.

nkjv@1Peter:3:12 @ For the eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, And His ears are open to their prayers; But the face of the LORD is against those who do evil."

nkjv@1Peter:3:13 @ And who is he who will harm you if you become followers of what is good?

nkjv@1Peter:3:15 @ But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear;

nkjv@1Peter:3:16 @ having a good conscience, that when they defame you as evildoers, those who revile your good conduct in Christ may be ashamed.

nkjv@1Peter:3:17 @ For it is better, if it is the will of God, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil.

nkjv@1Peter:3:18 @ For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit,

nkjv@1Peter:3:19 @ by whom also He went and preached to the spirits in prison,

nkjv@1Peter:3:20 @ who formerly were disobedient, when once the Divine longsuffering waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water.

nkjv@1Peter:3:21 @ There is also an antitype which now saves us--baptism (not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

nkjv@1Peter:3:22 @ who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, angels and authorities and powers having been made subject to Him.

nkjv@1Peter:4:1 @ Therefore, since Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind, for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,

nkjv@1Peter:4:2 @ that he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God.

nkjv@1Peter:4:4 @ In regard to these, they think it strange that you do not run with them in the same flood of dissipation, speaking evil of you.

nkjv@1Peter:4:5 @ They will give an account to Him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.

nkjv@1Peter:4:6 @ For this reason the gospel was preached also to those who are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.

nkjv@1Peter:4:7 @ But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers.

nkjv@1Peter:4:10 @ As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.

nkjv@1Peter:4:11 @ If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

nkjv@1Peter:4:12 @ Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you;

nkjv@1Peter:4:13 @ but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ's sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy.

nkjv@1Peter:4:14 @ If you are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed are you, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. On their part He is blasphemed, but on your part He is glorified.

nkjv@1Peter:4:16 @ Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this matter.

nkjv@1Peter:4:18 @ Now "If the righteous one is scarcely saved, Where will the ungodly and the sinner appear?"

nkjv@1Peter:5:1 @ The elders who are among you I exhort, I who am a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that will be revealed:

nkjv@1Peter:5:2 @ Shepherd the flock of God which is among you, serving as overseers, not by compulsion but willingly, not for dishonest gain but eagerly;

nkjv@1Peter:5:5 @ Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for "God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble."

nkjv@1Peter:5:9 @ Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world.

nkjv@1Peter:5:10 @ But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.

nkjv@1Peter:5:12 @ By Silvanus, our faithful brother as I consider him, I have written to you briefly, exhorting and testifying that this is the true grace of God in which you stand.

nkjv@1Peter:5:13 @ She who is in Babylon, elect together with you, greets you; and so does Mark my son.

nkjv@1Peter:5:14 @ Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace to you all who are in Christ Jesus. Amen.

nkjv@2Peter:1:1 @ Simon Peter, a bondservant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who have obtained like precious faith with us by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ:

nkjv@2Peter:1:3 @ as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue,

nkjv@2Peter:1:4 @ by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

nkjv@2Peter:1:5 @ But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge,

nkjv@2Peter:1:8 @ For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

nkjv@2Peter:1:9 @ For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins.

nkjv@2Peter:1:11 @ for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

nkjv@2Peter:1:12 @ For this reason I will not be negligent to remind you always of these things, though you know and are established in the present truth.

nkjv@2Peter:1:13 @ Yes, I think it is right, as long as I am in this tent, to stir you up by reminding you,

nkjv@2Peter:1:14 @ knowing that shortly I must put off my tent, just as our Lord Jesus Christ showed me.

nkjv@2Peter:1:16 @ For we did not follow cunningly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of His majesty.

nkjv@2Peter:1:17 @ For He received from God the Father honor and glory when such a voice came to Him from the Excellent Glory: "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."

nkjv@2Peter:1:18 @ And we heard this voice which came from heaven when we were with Him on the holy mountain.

nkjv@2Peter:1:19 @ And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts;

nkjv@2Peter:1:20 @ knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation,

nkjv@2Peter:2:8 @ (for that righteous man, dwelling among them, tormented his righteous soul from day to day by seeing and hearing their lawless deeds)--

nkjv@2Peter:2:9 @ then the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations and to reserve the unjust under punishment for the day of judgment,

nkjv@2Peter:2:10 @ and especially those who walk according to the flesh in the lust of uncleanness and despise authority. They are presumptuous, self-willed. They are not afraid to speak evil of dignitaries,

nkjv@2Peter:2:12 @ But these, like natural brute beasts made to be caught and destroyed, speak evil of the things they do not understand, and will utterly perish in their own corruption,

nkjv@2Peter:2:13 @ and will receive the wages of unrighteousness, as those who count it pleasure to carouse in the daytime. They are spots and blemishes, carousing in their own deceptions while they feast with you,

nkjv@2Peter:2:16 @ but he was rebuked for his iniquity: a dumb donkey speaking with a man's voice restrained the madness of the prophet.

nkjv@2Peter:2:17 @ These are wells without water, clouds carried by a tempest, for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever.

nkjv@2Peter:2:19 @ While they promise them liberty, they themselves are slaves of corruption; for by whom a person is overcome, by him also he is brought into bondage.

nkjv@2Peter:2:20 @ For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the latter end is worse for them than the beginning.

nkjv@2Peter:2:22 @ But it has happened to them according to the true proverb: "A dog returns to his own vomit," and, "a sow, having washed, to her wallowing in the mire."

nkjv@2Peter:3:1 @ Beloved, I now write to you this second epistle (in both of which I stir up your pure minds by way of reminder),

nkjv@2Peter:3:3 @ knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts,

nkjv@2Peter:3:4 @ and saying, "Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation."

nkjv@2Peter:3:5 @ For this they willfully forget: that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of water and in the water,

nkjv@2Peter:3:6 @ by which the world that then existed perished, being flooded with water.

nkjv@2Peter:3:8 @ But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

nkjv@2Peter:3:9 @ The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.

nkjv@2Peter:3:10 @ But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.

nkjv@2Peter:3:11 @ Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness,

nkjv@2Peter:3:12 @ looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat?

nkjv@2Peter:3:13 @ Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.

nkjv@2Peter:3:15 @ and consider that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation--as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, has written to you,

nkjv@2Peter:3:16 @ as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which untaught and unstable people twist to their own destruction, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures.

nkjv@2Peter:3:17 @ You therefore, beloved, since you know this beforehand, beware lest you also fall from your own steadfastness, being led away with the error of the wicked;

nkjv@2Peter:3:18 @ but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.

nkjv@1John:1:3 @ that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ.

nkjv@1John:1:5 @ This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all.

nkjv@1John:1:7 @ But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.

nkjv@1John:1:8 @ If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

nkjv@1John:1:9 @ If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

nkjv@1John:1:10 @ If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.

nkjv@1John:2:1 @ My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.

nkjv@1John:2:2 @ And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world.

nkjv@1John:2:3 @ Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments.

nkjv@1John:2:4 @ He who says, "I know Him," and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

nkjv@1John:2:5 @ But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him.

nkjv@1John:2:7 @ Brethren, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you have had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you heard from the beginning.

nkjv@1John:2:8 @ Again, a new commandment I write to you, which thing is true in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away, and the true light is already shining.

nkjv@1John:2:9 @ He who says he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in darkness until now.

nkjv@1John:2:10 @ He who loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no cause for stumbling in him.

nkjv@1John:2:11 @ But he who hates his brother is in darkness and walks in darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

nkjv@1John:2:12 @ I write to you, little children, Because your sins are forgiven you for His name's sake.

nkjv@1John:2:13 @ I write to you, fathers, Because you have known Him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, Because you have overcome the wicked one. I write to you, little children, Because you have known the Father.

nkjv@1John:2:14 @ I have written to you, fathers, Because you have known Him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, Because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, And you have overcome the wicked one.

nkjv@1John:2:15 @ Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

nkjv@1John:2:16 @ For all that is in the world--the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life--is not of the Father but is of the world.

nkjv@1John:2:17 @ And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.

nkjv@1John:2:18 @ Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, by which we know that it is the last hour.

nkjv@1John:2:21 @ I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and that no lie is of the truth.

nkjv@1John:2:22 @ Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son.

nkjv@1John:2:25 @ And this is the promise that He has promised us--eternal life.

nkjv@1John:2:27 @ But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him.

nkjv@1John:2:28 @ And now, little children, abide in Him, that when He appears, we may have confidence and not be ashamed before Him at His coming.

nkjv@1John:2:29 @ If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone who practices righteousness is born of Him.

nkjv@1John:3:2 @ Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.

nkjv@1John:3:3 @ And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.

nkjv@1John:3:4 @ Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness.

nkjv@1John:3:5 @ And you know that He was manifested to take away our sins, and in Him there is no sin.

nkjv@1John:3:7 @ Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous.

nkjv@1John:3:8 @ He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.

nkjv@1John:3:9 @ Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.

nkjv@1John:3:10 @ In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest: Whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is he who does not love his brother.

nkjv@1John:3:11 @ For this is the message that you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another,

nkjv@1John:3:12 @ not as Cain who was of the wicked one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his works were evil and his brother's righteous.

nkjv@1John:3:14 @ We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love his brother abides in death.

nkjv@1John:3:15 @ Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.

nkjv@1John:3:16 @ By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

nkjv@1John:3:17 @ But whoever has this world's goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him?

nkjv@1John:3:19 @ And by this we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before Him.

nkjv@1John:3:20 @ For if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.

nkjv@1John:3:22 @ And whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do those things that are pleasing in His sight.

nkjv@1John:3:23 @ And this is His commandment: that we should believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ and love one another, as He gave us commandment.

nkjv@1John:3:24 @ Now he who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. And by this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us.

nkjv@1John:4:2 @ By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God,

nkjv@1John:4:3 @ and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world.

nkjv@1John:4:4 @ You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

nkjv@1John:4:6 @ We are of God. He who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.

nkjv@1John:4:7 @ Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.

nkjv@1John:4:8 @ He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.

nkjv@1John:4:9 @ In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him.

nkjv@1John:4:10 @ In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

nkjv@1John:4:12 @ No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us.

nkjv@1John:4:13 @ By this we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit.

nkjv@1John:4:15 @ Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.

nkjv@1John:4:16 @ And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.

nkjv@1John:4:17 @ Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world.

nkjv@1John:4:18 @ There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.

nkjv@1John:4:20 @ If someone says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?

nkjv@1John:4:21 @ And this commandment we have from Him: that he who loves God must love his brother also.

nkjv@1John:5:1 @ Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves Him who begot also loves him who is begotten of Him.

nkjv@1John:5:2 @ By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep His commandments.

nkjv@1John:5:3 @ For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome.

nkjv@1John:5:4 @ For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world--our faith.

nkjv@1John:5:5 @ Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

nkjv@1John:5:6 @ This is He who came by water and blood--Jesus Christ; not only by water, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is truth.

nkjv@1John:5:9 @ If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater; for this is the witness of God which He has testified of His Son.

nkjv@1John:5:10 @ He who believes in the Son of God has the witness in himself; he who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed the testimony that God has given of His Son.

nkjv@1John:5:11 @ And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.

nkjv@1John:5:14 @ Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.

nkjv@1John:5:16 @ If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin which does not lead to death, he will ask, and He will give him life for those who commit sin not leading to death. There is sin leading to death. I do not say that he should pray about that.

nkjv@1John:5:17 @ All unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin not leading to death.

nkjv@1John:5:18 @ We know that whoever is born of God does not sin; but he who has been born of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him.

nkjv@1John:5:20 @ And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding, that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.

nkjv@2John:1:3 @ Grace, mercy, and peace will be with you from God the Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.

nkjv@2John:1:6 @ This is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment, that as you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in it.

nkjv@2John:1:7 @ For many deceivers have gone out into the world who do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.

nkjv@2John:1:9 @ Whoever transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. He who abides in the doctrine of Christ has both the Father and the Son.

nkjv@2John:1:10 @ If anyone comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into your house nor greet him;

nkjv@2John:1:11 @ for he who greets him shares in his evil deeds.

nkjv@2John:1:12 @ Having many things to write to you, I did not wish to do so with paper and ink; but I hope to come to you and speak face to face, that our joy may be full.

nkjv@2John:1:13 @ The children of your elect sister greet you. Amen.

nkjv@3John:1:3 @ For I rejoiced greatly when brethren came and testified of the truth that is in you, just as you walk in the truth.

nkjv@3John:1:7 @ because they went forth for His name's sake, taking nothing from the Gentiles.

nkjv@3John:1:10 @ Therefore, if I come, I will call to mind his deeds which he does, prating against us with malicious words. And not content with that, he himself does not receive the brethren, and forbids those who wish to, putting them out of the church.

nkjv@3John:1:11 @ Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. He who does good is of God, but he who does evil has not seen God.

nkjv@3John:1:12 @ Demetrius has a good testimony from all, and from the truth itself. And we also bear witness, and you know that our testimony is true.

nkjv@3John:1:13 @ I had many things to write, but I do not wish to write to you with pen and ink;

nkjv@Jude:1:1 @ Jude, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, To those who are called, sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ:

nkjv@Jude:1:4 @ For certain men have crept in unnoticed, who long ago were marked out for this condemnation, ungodly men, who turn the grace of our God into lewdness and deny the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ.

nkjv@Jude:1:5 @ But I want to remind you, though you once knew this, that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe.

nkjv@Jude:1:8 @ Likewise also these dreamers defile the flesh, reject authority, and speak evil of dignitaries.

nkjv@Jude:1:9 @ Yet Michael the archangel, in contending with the devil, when he disputed about the body of Moses, dared not bring against him a reviling accusation, but said, "The Lord rebuke you!"

nkjv@Jude:1:11 @ Woe to them! For they have gone in the way of Cain, have run greedily in the error of Balaam for profit, and perished in the rebellion of Korah.

nkjv@Jude:1:13 @ raging waves of the sea, foaming up their own shame; wandering stars for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever.

nkjv@Jude:1:14 @ Now Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men also, saying, "Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of His saints,

nkjv@Jude:1:17 @ But you, beloved, remember the words which were spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ:

nkjv@Jude:1:19 @ These are sensual persons, who cause divisions, not having the Spirit.

nkjv@Jude:1:21 @ keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

nkjv@Jude:1:22 @ And on some have compassion, making a distinction;

nkjv@Jude:1:24 @ Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy,

nkjv@Jude:1:25 @ To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.

nkjv@Revelation:1:1 @ The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants--things which must shortly take place. And He sent and signified it by His angel to His servant John,
