wmth@Matthew:13:3 @ He then spoke many things to them in figurative language. »The sower goes out,« He said, »to sow.

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

wmth@Matthew:13:20 @ He who has received the seed on the rocky ground is the man who hears the Message and immediately receives it with joy.

wmth@Matthew:13:22 @ He who has received the seed among the thorns is the man who hears the Message, but the cares of the present age and the delusions of riches quite stifle the Message, and it becomes unfruitful.

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

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

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

wmth@Matthew:13:37 @ »The sower of the good seed,« He replied, »is the Son of Man;

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

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

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

wmth@Matthew:15:5 @ but you –this is what you say: `If a man says to his father or mother, That is consecrated, whatever it is, which otherwise you should have received from me–

wmth@Matthew:15:11 @ It is not what goes into a man's mouth that defiles him; but it is what comes out of his mouth– defiles a man.«

wmth@Matthew:15:14 @ Leave them alone. They are blind guides of the blind; and if a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into some pit.«

wmth@Matthew:15:18 @ But the things that come out of the mouth proceed from the heart, and it is these that defile the man.

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

wmth@Matthew:15:22 @ Here a Canaanitish woman of the district came out and persistently cried out, »Sir, Son of David, pity me; my daughter is cruelly harassed by a demon.«

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

wmth@Matthew:15:30 @ Soon great crowds came to Him, bringing with them those who were crippled in feet or hands, blind or dumb, and many besides, and they hastened to lay them at His feet. And He cured them,

wmth@Matthew:15:34 @ »How many loaves have you?« Jesus asked. »Seven,« they said, »and a few small fish.«

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

wmth@Matthew:16:10 @ nor the 4,000 and the seven loaves, and how many hampers you carried away?

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

wmth@Matthew:16:17 @ »Blessed are you, Simon Bar-jonah,« said Jesus; »for mere human nature has not revealed this to you, but my Father in Heaven.

wmth@Matthew:16:26 @ Why, what benefit will it be to a man if he gains the whole world but forfeits his life? Or what shall a man give to buy back his life?

wmth@Matthew:16:27 @ For the Son of Man is soon to come in the glory of the Father with His angels, and then will He requite every man according to his actions.

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

wmth@Matthew:17:9 @ As they were descending the mountain, Jesus laid a command upon them. »Tell no one,« He said, »of the sight you have seen till the Son of Man has risen from among the dead.«

wmth@Matthew:17:12 @ But I tell you that he has already come, and they did not recognize him, but dealt with him as they chose. And before long the Son of Man will be treated by them in a similar way.«

wmth@Matthew:17:14 @ When they had returned to the people, there came to Him a man who fell on his knees before Him and besought Him.

wmth@Matthew:17:18 @ Then Jesus reprimanded the demon, and it came out and left him; and the boy was cured from that moment.

wmth@Matthew:17:22 @ As they were travelling about in Galilee, Jesus said to them, »The Son of Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men;

wmth@Matthew:18:7 @ »Alas for the world because of causes of falling! They cannot but come, but alas for each man through whom they come!«

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

wmth@Matthew:19:3 @ Then came some of the Pharisees to Him to put Him to the proof by the question, »Has a man a right to divorce his wife whenever he chooses?«

wmth@Matthew:19:6 @ Thus they are no longer two, but `one'! What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.«

wmth@Matthew:19:7 @ »Why then,« said they, »did Moses command the husband to give her `a written notice of divorce,' and so put her away?«

wmth@Matthew:19:9 @ And I tell you that whoever divorces his wife for any reason except her unfaithfulness, and marries another woman, commits adultery.«

wmth@Matthew:19:10 @ »If this is the case with a man in relation to his wife,« said the disciples to Him, »it is better not to marry.«

wmth@Matthew:19:11 @ »It is not every man,« He replied, »who can receive this teaching, but only those on whom the grace has been bestowed.

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

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

wmth@Matthew:19:18 @ »Which Commandments?« he asked. Jesus answered,

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

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

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

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

wmth@Matthew:19:28 @ »I solemnly tell you,« replied Jesus, »that in the New Creation, when the Son of Man has taken His seat on His glorious throne, all of you who have followed me shall also sit on twelve thrones and judge the twelve tribes of Israel.

wmth@Matthew:19:29 @ And whoever has forsaken houses, or brothers or sisters, or father or mother, or children or lands, for my sake, shall receive many times as much and shall have as his inheritance the Life of the Ages.

wmth@Matthew:19:30 @ »But many who are now first will be last, and many who are now last will be first.«

wmth@Matthew:20:18 @ »We are going up to Jerusalem, and there the Son of Man will be betrayed to the High Priests and Scribes. They will condemn Him to death,«

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

wmth@Matthew:20:28 @ just as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give His life as the redemption-price for many.«

wmth@Matthew:21:25 @ John's Baptism, whence was it? –had it a heavenly or a human origin?« So they debated the matter among themselves. »If we say `a heavenly origin,'« they argued, »he will say, `Why then did you not believe him?'

wmth@Matthew:21:26 @ and if we say `a human origin' we have the people to fear, for they all hold John to have been a Prophet.«

wmth@Matthew:21:28 @ »But give me your judgement. There was a man who had two sons. He came to the elder of them, and said,« `My son, go and work in the vineyard to-day.'

wmth@Matthew:21:30 @ He came to the second and spoke in the same manner. His answer was, »`I will go, Sir.' «But he did not go.

wmth@Matthew:21:36 @ Again he sent another party of servants more numerous than the first; and these they treated in the same manner.

wmth@Matthew:22:13 @ »The man stood speechless. Then the king said to the servants,« `Bind him hand and foot and fling him into the darkness outside: there will be the weeping aloud and the gnashing of teeth.'

wmth@Matthew:22:14 @ »For there are many called, but few chosen.«

wmth@Matthew:22:16 @ So they sent to Him their disciples together with the Herodians; who said, »Teacher, we know that you are truthful and that you faithfully teach God's truth; and that no fear of man misleads you, for you are not biased by men's wealth or rank.

wmth@Matthew:22:27 @ till the woman also died, after surviving them all.

wmth@Matthew:22:36 @ »Teacher, which is the greatest Commandment in the Law?«

wmth@Matthew:22:38 @ This is the greatest and foremost Commandment.

wmth@Matthew:22:40 @ The whole of the Law and the Prophets is summed up in these two Commandments.«

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

wmth@Matthew:23:28 @ The same is true of you: outwardly you seem to the human eye to be good and honest men, but, within, you are full of insincerity and disregard of God's Law.

wmth@Matthew:24:5 @ »for many will come assuming my name and saying `I am the Christ;' and they will mislead many.«

wmth@Matthew:24:11 @ Many false prophets will rise up and lead multitudes astray;

wmth@Matthew:24:27 @ For just as the lightning flashes in the east and is seen to the very west, so will be the Coming of the Son of Man.

wmth@Matthew:24:30 @ Then will appear the Sign of the Son of Man in the sky; and when they see the Son of Man with great power and glory.

wmth@Matthew:24:37 @ `For as it was in the time of Noah, so it will be at the Coming of the Son of Man.

wmth@Matthew:24:39 @ nor did they realise any danger till the Deluge came and swept them all away; so will it be at the Coming of the Son of Man.

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

wmth@Matthew:24:47 @ In solemn truth I tell you that he will give him the management of all his wealth.

wmth@Matthew:24:48 @ But if the man, being a bad servant, should say in his heart, `My master is a long time in coming,'

wmth@Matthew:25:14 @ »Why, it is like a man who, when going on his travels, called his bondservants and entrusted his property to their care.«

wmth@Matthew:25:18 @ But the man who had received the one went and dug a hole and buried his master's money.

wmth@Matthew:25:21 @ »`You have done well, good and trustworthy servant,' replied his master; `you have been trustworthy in the management of a little, I will put you in charge of much: share your master's joy.'«

wmth@Matthew:25:23 @ »`Good and trustworthy servant, you have done well,' his master replied; `you have been trustworthy in the management of a little, I will put you in charge of much: share your master's joy.'«

wmth@Matthew:25:24 @ »But, next, the man who had the one talent in his keeping came and said,« `Sir, I knew you to be a severe man, reaping where you had not sown and garnering what you had not winnowed.

wmth@Matthew:25:28 @ So take away the talent from him, and give it to the man who has the ten.'

wmth@Matthew:25:31 @ »When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then will He sit upon His glorious throne,

wmth@Matthew:26:2 @ »You know that in two days' time the Passover comes. And the Son of Man will be delivered up to be crucified.«

wmth@Matthew:26:7 @ a woman came to Him with a jar of very costly, sweet-scented ointment, which she poured over His head as He reclined at table.

wmth@Matthew:26:18 @ »Go into the city,« He replied, »to a certain man, and tell him, `The Teacher says, My time is close at hand. It is at your house that I shall keep the Passover with my disciples.'«

wmth@Matthew:26:23 @ »The one who has dipped his fingers in the bowl with me,« He answered, »is the man who will betray me.

wmth@Matthew:26:24 @ The Son of Man is indeed going as is written concerning Him; but alas for that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It had been a happy thing for that man if he had never been born.«

wmth@Matthew:26:28 @ for this is my blood which is to be poured out for many for the remission of sins–the blood which ratifies the Covenant.

wmth@Matthew:26:35 @ »Even if I must die with you,« declared Peter, »I will never disown you.« In like manner protested all the disciples.

wmth@Matthew:26:36 @ Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane. And He said to the disciples, »Sit down here, whilst I go yonder and there pray.«

wmth@Matthew:26:45 @ Then He came to the disciples and said, »Sleep on and rest. See, the moment is close at hand when the Son of Man is to be betrayed into the hands of sinful men.

wmth@Matthew:26:48 @ Now the betrayer had agreed upon a sign with them, to direct them. He had said, »The one whom I kiss is the man: lay hold of him.«

wmth@Matthew:26:60 @ but they could find none, although many false witnesses came forward. At length there came two

wmth@Matthew:26:61 @ who testified, »This man said, `I am able to pull down the Sanctuary of God and three days afterwards to build a new one.'«

wmth@Matthew:26:71 @ Soon afterwards he went out and stood in the gateway, when another girl saw him, and said, addressing the people there, »This man was with Jesus the Nazarene.«

wmth@Matthew:26:72 @ Again he denied it with an oath. »I do not know the man,« he said.

wmth@Matthew:26:74 @ Then with curses and oaths he declared, »I do not know the man.« Immediately a cock crowed,

wmth@Matthew:27:19 @ While he was sitting on the tribunal a message came to him from his wife. »Have nothing to do with that innocent man,« she said, »for during the night I have suffered terribly in a dream through him.«

wmth@Matthew:27:20 @ The High Priests, however, and the Elders urged the crowd to ask for Barabbas and to demand the death of Jesus.

wmth@Matthew:27:41 @ In like manner the High Priests also, together with the Scribes and the Elders, taunted Him.

wmth@Matthew:27:47 @ »The man is calling for Elijah,« said some of the bystanders.

wmth@Matthew:27:52 @ the tombs opened; and many of God's people who were asleep in death awoke.

wmth@Matthew:27:53 @ And coming out of their tombs after Christ's resurrection they entered the holy city and showed themselves to many.

wmth@Matthew:28:20 @ and teach them to obey every command which I have given you. And remember, I am with you always, day by day, until the Close of the Age.«

wmth@Mark:1:16 @ One day, passing along the shore of the Lake of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew, Simon's brother, throwing their nets in the Lake; for they were fisherman.

wmth@Mark:1:23 @ when all at once, there in their synagogue, a man under the power of a foul spirit screamed out:

wmth@Mark:1:25 @ But Jesus reprimanded him, saying, »Silence! come out of him.«

wmth@Mark:1:26 @ So the foul spirit, after throwing the man into convulsions, came out of him with a loud cry.

wmth@Mark:1:34 @ Then He cured numbers of people who were ill with various diseases, and He drove out many demons; not allowing the demons to speak, because they knew who He was.

wmth@Mark:1:45 @ But the man, when he went out, began to tell every one and to publish the matter abroad, so that it was no longer possible for Jesus to go openly into any town; but He had to remain outside in unfrequented places, where people came to Him from all parts.

wmth@Mark:2:7 @ »Why does this man use such words?« they said; »he is blaspheming. Who can pardon sins but One–that is, God?«

wmth@Mark:2:10 @ But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to pardon sins« –He turned to the paralytic, and said,

wmth@Mark:2:12 @ The man rose, and immediately under the eyes of all took up his mat and went out, so that they were all filled with astonishment, gave the glory to God, and said, »We never saw anything like this.«

wmth@Mark:2:15 @ When He was sitting at table in Levi's house, a large number of tax-gatherers and notorious sinners were at table with Jesus and His disciples; for there were many such who habitually followed Him.

wmth@Mark:2:27 @ And Jesus said to them: »The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath;

wmth@Mark:2:28 @ so that the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.«

wmth@Mark:3:1 @ At another time, when He went to the synagogue, there was a man there with one arm shrivelled up.

wmth@Mark:3:3 @ »Come forward,« said He to the man with the shrivelled arm.

wmth@Mark:3:5 @ Grieved and indignant at the hardening of their hearts, He looked round on them with anger, and said to the man, »Stretch out your arm.« He stretched it out, and the arm was completely restored.

wmth@Mark:3:10 @ For He had cured many of the people, so that all who had any ailments pressed upon Him, to touch Him.

wmth@Mark:3:12 @ But He many a time checked them, forbidding them to say who He was.

wmth@Mark:3:19 @ and Judas Iscariot, the man who also betrayed Him.

wmth@Mark:3:27 @ Nay, no one can go into a strong man's house and carry off his property, unless he first binds the strong man, and then he will plunder his house.

wmth@Mark:4:2 @ Then He proceeded to teach them many lessons in figurative language; and in His teaching He said,

wmth@Mark:4:26 @ Another saying of His was this: »The Kingdom of God is as if a man scattered seed over the ground:

wmth@Mark:4:33 @ With many such parables He used to speak the Message to them according to their capacity for receiving it.

wmth@Mark:5:2 @ At once, on His landing, there came from the tombs to meet Him a man possessed by a foul spirit.

wmth@Mark:5:3 @ This man lived among the tombs, nor could any one now secure him even with a chain;

wmth@Mark:5:4 @ for many a time he had been left securely bound in fetters and chains, but afterwards the chains lay torn link from link, and the fetters in fragments, and there was no one strong enough to master him.

wmth@Mark:5:5 @ And constantly, day and night, he remained among the tombs or on the hills, shrieking, and mangling himself with sharp stones.

wmth@Mark:5:8 @ For He had said to him, »Foul spirit, come out of the man.«

wmth@Mark:5:15 @ and when they came to Jesus, they beheld the demoniac quietly seated, clothed and of sane mind– the man who had had the legion; and they were awe-stricken.

wmth@Mark:5:18 @ As He was embarking, the man who had been possessed asked permission to accompany Him.

wmth@Mark:5:20 @ So the man departed, and related publicly everywhere in the Ten Towns all that Jesus had done for him; and all were astonished.

wmth@Mark:5:23 @ and besought Him with many entreaties. »My little daughter,« he said, »is at the point of death: I pray you come and lay your hands upon her, that she may recover and live.«

wmth@Mark:5:25 @ Now a woman who for twelve years had suffered from haemorrhage,

wmth@Mark:5:26 @ and had undergone many different treatments under a number of doctors and had spent all she had without receiving benefit but on the contrary growing worse,

wmth@Mark:5:33 @ until the woman, frightened and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and threw herself at His feet, and told Him all the truth.

wmth@Mark:5:41 @ Then, taking her by the hand, He says to her, »Talitha, koum;« that is to say, »Little girl, I command you to wake!«

wmth@Mark:6:2 @ On the Sabbath He proceeded to teach in the synagogue; and many, as they heard Him, were astonished. »Where did he acquire all this?« they asked. »What is this wisdom that has been given to him? And what are these marvellous miracles which his hands perform?

wmth@John:18:17 @ This led the girl, the portress, to ask Peter, »Are you also one of this man's disciples?«»No, I am not,« he replied.

wmth@John:18:26 @ One of the High Priest's servants, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, said, »Did I not see you in the garden with him?«

wmth@John:18:29 @ Accordingly Pilate came out to them and inquired, »What accusation have you to bring against this man?«

wmth@John:18:30 @ »If the man were not a criminal,« they replied, »we would not have handed him over to you.«

wmth@John:18:31 @ »Take him yourselves,« said Pilate, »and judge him by your Law.«»We have no power,« replied the Jews, »to put any man to death.«

wmth@John:18:40 @ With a roar of voices they again cried out, saying, »Not this man, but Barabbas!« Now Barabbas was a robber.

wmth@John:19:5 @ So Jesus came out, wearing the wreath of thorns and the crimson cloak. And Pilate said to them, »See, there is the man.«

wmth@John:19:12 @ Upon receiving this answer, Pilate was for releasing Him. But the Jews kept shouting, »If you release this man, you are no friend of Caesar's. Every one who sets himself up as king declares himself a rebel against Caesar.«

wmth@John:19:20 @ Many of the Jews read this notice, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and the notice was in three languages–Hebrew, Latin, and Greek.

wmth@John:19:32 @ Accordingly the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man and also of the other who had been crucified with Jesus.

wmth@John:21:7 @ This made the disciple whom Jesus loved say to Peter, »It is the Master.« Simon Peter therefore, when he heard the words, »It is the Master,« drew on his fisherman's shirt –for he had not been wearing it– put on his girdle, and sprang into the water.

wmth@John:21:11 @ So Simon Peter went on board the boat and drew the net ashore full of large fish, 153 in number; and yet, although there were so many, the net had not broken.

wmth@John:21:25 @ But there are also many other things which Jesus did–so vast a number indeed that if they were all described in detail, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would have to be written.

wmth@Acts:1:3 @ He had also, after He suffered, shown Himself alive to them with many sure proofs, appearing to them at intervals during forty days, and speaking of the Kingdom of God.

wmth@Acts:2:40 @ And with many more appeals he solemnly warned and entreated them, saying, »Escape from this crooked generation.«

wmth@Acts:2:43 @ Fear came upon every one, and many marvels and signs were done by the Apostles.

wmth@Acts:3:10 @ and recognizing him as the man who used to sit at the Beautiful Gate of the Temple asking for alms, they were filled with awe and amazement at what had happened to him.

wmth@Acts:3:12 @ Peter, seeing this, spoke to the people. »Israelites,« he said, »why do you wonder at this man? Or why gaze at us, as though by any power or piety of our own we had enabled him to walk?

wmth@Acts:3:16 @ It is His name – faith in that name being the condition– which has strengthened this man whom you behold and know; and the faith which He has given has made this man sound and strong again, as you can all see.

wmth@Acts:5:21 @ Having received that command they went into the Temple, just before daybreak, and began to teach: So when the High Priest and his party came, and had called together the Sanhedrin as well as all the Elders of the descendants of Israel, they sent to the jail to fetch the Apostles.

wmth@Acts:5:24 @ When the Commander of the Temple Guards and the High Priests heard this statement, they were utterly at a loss with regard to it, wondering what would happen next.

wmth@Acts:5:26 @ Upon this the Commander went with the officers, and brought the Apostles; but without using violence; for they were afraid of being stoned by the people.

wmth@Acts:5:28 @ »We strictly forbad you to teach in that name–did we not?« he said. »And see, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and are trying to make us responsible for that man's death!«

wmth@Acts:5:29 @ Peter and the other Apostles replied, »We must obey God rather than man.

wmth@Acts:5:38 @ And now I tell you to hold aloof from these men and leave them alone–for if this scheme or work is of human origin, it will come to nothing.

wmth@Acts:6:5 @ The suggestion met with general approval, and they selected Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas, a proselyte of Antioch.

wmth@Acts:6:7 @ Meanwhile God's Message continued to spread, and the number of the disciples in Jerusalem very greatly increased, and very many priests obeyed the faith.

wmth@Acts:6:9 @ But some members of the so-called `Synagogue of the Freed-men,' together with some Cyrenaeans, Alexandrians, Cilicians and men from Roman Asia, were roused to encounter Stephen in debate.

wmth@Acts:7:5 @ But he gave him no inheritance in it, no, not a single square yard of ground. And yet He promised to bestow the land as a permanent possession on him and his posterity after him–and promised this at a time when Abraham was childless.

wmth@Acts:8:9 @ Now for some time past there had been a man named Simon living there, who had been practising magic and astonishing the Samaritans, pretending that he was more than human.

wmth@Acts:8:10 @ To him people of all classes paid attention, declaring, »This man is the Power of God, known as the great Power.«

wmth@Acts:8:25 @ So the Apostles, after giving a solemn charge and delivering the Lord's Message, travelled back to Jerusalem, making known the Good News also in many of the Samaritan villages.

wmth@Acts:18:8 @ And Crispus, the Warden of the synagogue, believed in the Lord, and so did all his household; and from time to time many of the Corinthians who heard Paul believed and received baptism.

wmth@Romans:2:3 @ And you who pronounce judgement upon those who do such things although your own conduct is the same as theirs–do you imagine that you yourself will escape unpunished when God judges?

wmth@Romans:2:4 @ Or is it that you think slightingly of His infinite goodness, forbearance and patience, unaware that the goodness of God is gently drawing you to repentance?

wmth@Romans:2:5 @ The fact is that in the stubbornness of your impenitent heart you are treasuring up against yourself anger on the day of Anger–the day when the righteousness of God's judgements will stand revealed.

wmth@Romans:2:6 @ -To each man He will make an award corresponding to his actions;-

wmth@Romans:2:7 @ to those on the one hand who, by lives of persistent right-doing, are striving for glory, honour and immortality, the Life of the Ages;

wmth@Romans:2:8 @ while on the other hand upon the self-willed who disobey the truth and obey unrighteousness will fall anger and fury, affliction and awful distress,

wmth@Romans:2:9 @ coming upon the soul of every man and woman who deliberately does wrong–upon the Jew first, and then upon the Gentile;

wmth@Romans:2:10 @ whereas glory, honour and peace will be given to every one who does what is good and right–to the Jew first and then to the Gentile.

wmth@Romans:2:11 @ For God pays no attention to this world's distinctions.

wmth@Romans:2:12 @ For all who have sinned apart from the Law will also perish apart from the Law, and all who have sinned whilst living under the Law, will be judged by the Law.

wmth@Romans:2:13 @ It is not those that merely hear the Law read who are righteous in the sight of God, but it is those that obey the Law who will be pronounced righteous.

wmth@Romans:2:14 @ For when Gentiles who have no Law obey by natural instinct the commands of the Law, they, without having a Law, are a Law to themselves;

wmth@Romans:2:15 @ since they exhibit proof that a knowledge of the conduct which the Law requires is engraven on their hearts, while their consciences also bear witness to the Law, and their thoughts, as if in mutual discussion, accuse them or perhaps maintain their innocence–

wmth@Romans:2:16 @ on the day when God will judge the secrets of men's lives by Jesus Christ, as declared in the Good News as I have taught it.

wmth@Romans:2:17 @ And since you claim the name of Jew, and find rest and satisfaction in the Law, and make your boast in God,

wmth@Romans:2:18 @ and know the supreme will, and can test things that differ –being a man who receives instruction from the Law–

wmth@Romans:2:19 @ and have persuaded yourself that, as for you, you are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,

wmth@Romans:2:20 @ a schoolmaster for the dull and ignorant, a teacher of the young, because in the Law you possess an outline of real knowledge and an outline of the truth:

wmth@Romans:2:21 @ you then who teach your fellow man, do you refuse to teach yourself? You who cry out against stealing, are you yourself a thief?

wmth@Romans:2:22 @ You who forbid adultery, do you commit adultery? You who loathe idols, do you plunder their temples?

wmth@Romans:2:23 @ You who make your boast in the Law, do you offend against its commands and so dishonour God?

wmth@Romans:2:24 @ -For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentile nations because of you,- as Holy Writ declares.

wmth@Romans:2:25 @ Circumcision does indeed profit, if you obey the Law; but if you are a Law-breaker, the fact that you have been circumcised counts for nothing.

wmth@Romans:2:26 @ In the same way if an uncircumcised man pays attention to the just requirements of the Law, shall not his lack of circumcision be overlooked, and,

wmth@Romans:2:27 @ although he is a Gentile by birth, if he scrupulously obeys the Law, shall he not sit in judgement upon you who, possessing, as you do, a written Law and circumcision, are yet a Law-breaker?

wmth@Romans:2:28 @ For the true Jew is not the man who is simply a Jew outwardly, and true circumcision is not that which is outward and bodily.

wmth@Romans:2:29 @ But the true Jew is one inwardly, and true circumcision is heart-circumcision–not literal, but spiritual; and such people receive praise not from men, but from God.

wmth@Romans:3:1 @ What special privilege, then, has a Jew? Or what benefit is to be derived from circumcision?

wmth@Romans:3:2 @ The privilege is great from every point of view. First of all, because the Jews were entrusted with God's truth.

wmth@Romans:3:3 @ For what if some Jews have proved unfaithful? Shall their faithlessness render God's faithfulness worthless?

wmth@Romans:3:4 @ No, indeed; let us hold God to be true, though every man should prove to be false. As it stands written,

wmth@Romans:3:5 @ But if our unrighteousness sets God's righteousness in a clearer light, what shall we say? (Is God unrighteous –I speak in our everyday language– when He inflicts punishment?

wmth@Romans:3:6 @ No indeed; for in that case how shall He judge all mankind?)

wmth@Romans:3:7 @ If, for instance, a falsehood of mine has made God's truthfulness more conspicuous, redounding to His glory, why am I judged all the same as a sinner?

wmth@Romans:3:8 @ And why should we not say –for so they wickedly misrepresent us, and so some charge us with arguing– »Let us do evil that good may come«? The condemnation of those who would so argue is just.

wmth@Romans:3:9 @ What then? Are we Jews more highly estimated than they? Not in the least; for we have already charged all Jews and Gentiles alike with being in thraldom to sin.

wmth@Romans:3:10 @ Thus it stands written, »There is not one righteous man.

wmth@Romans:3:11 @ There is not one who is really wise, nor one who is a diligent seeker after God.

wmth@Romans:3:12 @ All have turned aside from the right path; they have every one of them become corrupt. There is no one who does what is right–no, not so much as one.«

wmth@Romans:3:13 @ »Their throats resemble an opened grave; with their tongues they have been talking deceitfully.« »The venom of vipers lies hidden behind their lips.«

wmth@Romans:3:14 @ »Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.«

wmth@Romans:3:15 @ »Their feet move swiftly to shed blood.

wmth@Romans:3:16 @ Ruin and misery mark their path;

wmth@Romans:3:17 @ and the way to peace they have not known.«

wmth@Romans:3:18 @ »There is no fear of God before their eyes.«

wmth@Romans:3:19 @ But it cannot be denied that all that the Law says is addressed to those who are living under the Law, in order that every mouth may be stopped, and that the whole world may await sentence from God.

wmth@Romans:3:20 @ For on the ground of obedience to Law no man living will be declared righteous before Him. Law simply brings a sure knowledge of sin.

wmth@Romans:3:21 @ But now a righteousness coming from God has been brought to light apart from any Law, both Law and Prophets bearing witness to it–

wmth@Romans:3:22 @ a righteousness coming from God, which depends on faith in Jesus Christ and extends to all who believe. No distinction is made;

wmth@Romans:3:23 @ for all alike have sinned, and all consciously come short of the glory of God,

wmth@Romans:3:24 @ gaining acquittal from guilt by His free unpurchased grace through the deliverance which is found in Christ Jesus.

wmth@Romans:3:25 @ He it is whom God put forward as a Mercy-seat, rendered efficacious through faith in His blood, in order to demonstrate His righteousness – because of the passing over, in God's forbearance, of the sins previously committed–

wmth@Romans:3:26 @ with a view to demonstrating, at the present time, His righteousness, that He may be shown to be righteous Himself, and the giver of righteousness to those who believe in Jesus.

wmth@Romans:3:27 @ Where then is there room for your boasting? It is for ever shut out. On what principle? On the ground of merit? No, but on the ground of faith.

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

wmth@Romans:3:29 @ Is God simply the God of the Jews, and not of the Gentiles also? He is certainly the God of the Gentiles also,

wmth@Romans:3:30 @ unless you can deny that it is one and the same God who will pronounce the circumcised to be acquitted on the ground of faith, and the uncircumcised to be acquitted through the same faith.

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

wmth@Romans:4:1 @ What then shall we say that Abraham, our earthly forefather, has gained?

wmth@Romans:4:2 @ For if he was held to be righteous on the ground of his actions, he has something to boast of; but not in the presence of God.

wmth@Romans:4:3 @ For what says the Scripture?

wmth@Romans:4:4 @ But in the case of a man who works, pay is not reckoned a favour but a debt;

wmth@Romans:4:5 @ whereas in the case of a man who pleads no actions of his own, but simply believes in Him who declares the ungodly free from guilt, his faith is placed to his credit as righteousness.

wmth@Romans:4:6 @ In this way David also tells of the blessedness of the man to whose credit God places righteousness, apart from his actions.

wmth@Romans:4:7 @ he says,

wmth@Romans:4:8" />

wmth@Romans:4:9 @ This declaration of blessedness, then, does it come simply to the circumcised, or to the uncircumcised as well? For –so we affirm–

wmth@Romans:4:10 @ What then were the circumstances under which this took place? Was it after he had been circumcised, or before?

wmth@Romans:4:11 @ Before, not after. And he received circumcision as a sign, a mark attesting the reality of the faith-righteousness which was his while still uncircumcised, that he might be the forefather of all those who believe even though they are uncircumcised–in order that this righteousness might be placed to their credit;

wmth@Romans:4:12 @ and the forefather of the circumcised, namely of those who not merely are circumcised, but also walk in the steps of the faith which our forefather Abraham had while he was as yet uncircumcised.

wmth@Romans:4:13 @ Again, the promise that he should inherit the world did not come to Abraham or his posterity conditioned by Law, but by faith-righteousness.

wmth@Romans:4:14 @ For if it is the righteous through Law who are heirs, then faith is useless and the promise counts for nothing.

wmth@Romans:4:15 @ For the Law inflicts punishment; but where no Law exists, there can be no violation of Law.

wmth@Romans:4:16 @ All depends on faith, and for this reason–that acceptance with God might be an act of pure grace,

wmth@Romans:4:17 @ so that the promise should be made sure to all Abraham's true descendants; not merely to those who are righteous through the Law, but to those who are righteous through a faith like that of Abraham. Thus in the sight of God in whom he believed, who gives life to the dead and makes reference to things that do not exist, as though they did, Abraham is the forefather of all of us. As it is written,

wmth@Romans:4:18 @ Under utterly hopeless circumstances he hopefully believed, so that he might become the forefather of many nations, in agreement with the words

wmth@Romans:4:19 @ And, without growing weak in faith, he could contemplate his own vital powers which had now decayed –for he was nearly 100 years old– and Sarah's barrenness.

wmth@Romans:4:20 @ Nor did he in unbelief stagger at God's promise, but became mighty in faith, giving glory to God,

wmth@Romans:4:21 @ and being absolutely certain that whatever promise He is bound by He is able also to make good.

wmth@Romans:4:22 @ For this reason also his faith

wmth@Romans:4:23 @ Nor was the fact of its being placed to his credit put on record for his sake only;

wmth@Romans:4:24 @ it was for our sakes too. Faith, before long, will be placed to the credit of us also who are believers in Him who raised Jesus, our Lord, from the dead,

wmth@Romans:4:25 @ who was surrendered to death because of the offences we had committed, and was raised to life because of the acquittal secured for us.

wmth@Romans:5:1 @ Standing then acquitted as the result of faith, let us enjoy peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

wmth@Romans:5:2 @ through whom also, as the result of faith, we have obtained an introduction into that state of favour with God in which we stand, and we exult in hope of some day sharing in God's glory.

wmth@Romans:5:3 @ And not only so: we also exult in our sufferings, knowing as we do, that suffering produces fortitude;

wmth@Romans:5:4 @ fortitude, ripeness of character; and ripeness of character, hope;

wmth@Romans:5:5 @ and that this hope never disappoints, because God's love for us floods our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.

wmth@Romans:5:6 @ For already, while we were still helpless, Christ at the right moment died for the ungodly.

wmth@Romans:5:7 @ Why, it is scarcely conceivable that any one would die for a simply just man, although for a good and lovable man perhaps some one, here and there, will have the courage even to lay down his life.

wmth@Romans:5:8 @ But God gives proof of His love to us in Christ's dying for us while we were still sinners.

wmth@Romans:5:9 @ If therefore we have now been pronounced free from guilt through His blood, much more shall we be delivered from God's anger through Him.

wmth@Romans:5:10 @ For if while we were hostile to God we were reconciled to Him through the death of His Son, it is still more certain that now that we are reconciled, we shall obtain salvation through Christ's life.

wmth@Romans:5:11 @ And not only so, but we also exult in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now obtained that reconciliation.

wmth@Romans:5:12 @ What follows? This comparison. Through one man sin entered into the world, and through sin death, and so death passed to all mankind in turn, in that all sinned.

wmth@Romans:5:13 @ For prior to the Law sin was already in the world; only it is not entered in the account against us when no Law exists.

wmth@Romans:5:14 @ Yet Death reigned as king from Adam to Moses even over those who had not sinned, as Adam did, against Law. And in Adam we have a type of Him whose coming was still future.

wmth@Romans:5:15 @ But God's free gift immeasurably outweighs the transgression. For if through the transgression of the one individual the mass of mankind have died, infinitely greater is the generosity with which God's grace, and the gift given in His grace which found expression in the one man Jesus Christ, have been bestowed on the mass of mankind.

wmth@Romans:5:16 @ And it is not with the gift as it was with the results of one individual's sin; for the judgement which one individual provoked resulted in condemnation, whereas the free gift after a multitude of transgressions results in acquittal.

wmth@Romans:5:17 @ For if, through the transgression of the one individual, Death made use of the one individual to seize the sovereignty, all the more shall those who receive God's overflowing grace and gift of righteousness reign as kings in Life through the one individual, Jesus Christ.

wmth@Romans:5:18 @ It follows then that just as the result of a single transgression is a condemnation which extends to the whole race, so also the result of a single decree of righteousness is a life-giving acquittal which extends to the whole race.

wmth@Romans:5:19 @ For as through the disobedience of the one individual the mass of mankind were constituted sinners, so also through the obedience of the One the mass of mankind will be constituted righteous.

wmth@Romans:5:20 @ Now Law was brought in later on, so that transgression might increase. But where sin increased, grace has overflowed;

wmth@Romans:5:21 @ in order that as sin has exercised kingly sway in inflicting death, so grace, too, may exercise kingly sway in bestowing a righteousness which results in the Life of the Ages through Jesus Christ our Lord.

wmth@Romans:6:1 @ To what conclusion, then, shall we come? Are we to persist in sinning in order that the grace extended to us may be the greater?

wmth@Romans:6:2 @ No, indeed; how shall we who have died to sin, live in it any longer?

wmth@Romans:6:3 @ And do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?

wmth@Romans:6:4 @ Well, then, we by our baptism were buried with Him in death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from among the dead by the Father's glorious power, we also should live an entirely new life.

wmth@Romans:6:5 @ For since we have become one with Him by sharing in His death, we shall also be one with Him by sharing in His resurrection.

wmth@Romans:6:6 @ This we know–that our old self was nailed to the cross with Him, in order that our sinful nature might be deprived of its power, so that we should no longer be the slaves of sin;

wmth@Romans:6:7 @ for he who has paid the penalty of death stands absolved from his sin.

wmth@Romans:6:8 @ But, seeing that we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him;

wmth@Romans:6:9 @ because we know that Christ, having come back to life, is no longer liable to die.

wmth@Romans:6:10 @ Death has no longer any power over Him. For by the death which He died He became, once for all, dead in relation to sin; but by the life which He now lives He is alive in relation to God.

wmth@Romans:6:11 @ In the same way you also must regard yourselves as dead in relation to sin, but as alive in relation to God, because you are in Christ Jesus.

wmth@Romans:6:12 @ Let not Sin therefore reign as king in your mortal bodies, causing you to be in subjection to their cravings;

wmth@Romans:6:13 @ and no longer lend your faculties as unrighteous weapons for Sin to use. On the contrary surrender your very selves to God as living men who have risen from the dead, and surrender your several faculties to God, to be used as weapons to maintain the right.

wmth@Romans:6:14 @ For Sin shall not be lord over you, since you are subjects not of Law, but of grace.

wmth@Romans:6:15 @ Are we therefore to sin because we are no longer under the authority of Law, but under grace? No, indeed!

wmth@Romans:6:16 @ Do you not know that if you surrender yourselves as bondservants to obey any one, you become the bondservants of him whom you obey, whether the bondservants of Sin (with death as the result) or of Duty (resulting in righteousness)?

wmth@Romans:6:17 @ But thanks be to God that though you were once in thraldom to Sin, you have now yielded a hearty obedience to that system of truth in which you have been instructed.

wmth@Romans:6:18 @ You were set free from the tyranny of Sin, and became the bondservants of Righteousness–

wmth@Romans:6:19 @ your human infirmity leads me to employ these familiar figures–and just as you once surrendered your faculties into bondage to Impurity and ever-increasing disregard of Law, so you must now surrender them into bondage to Righteousness ever advancing towards perfect holiness.

wmth@Romans:6:20 @ For when you were the bondservants of sin, you were under no sort of subjection to Righteousness.

wmth@Romans:6:21 @ At that time, then, what benefit did you get from conduct which you now regard with shame? Why, such things finally result in death.

wmth@Romans:6:22 @ But now that you have been set free from the tyranny of Sin, and have become the bondservants of God, you have your reward in being made holy, and you have the Life of the Ages as the final result.

wmth@Romans:6:23 @ For the wages paid by Sin are death; but God's free gift is the Life of the Ages bestowed upon us in Christ Jesus our Lord.

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

wmth@Romans:7:2 @ A wife, for instance, whose husband is living is bound to him by the Law; but if her husband dies the law that bound her to him has now no hold over her.

wmth@Romans:7:3 @ This accounts for the fact that if during her husband's life she lives with another man, she will be stigmatized as an adulteress; but that if her husband is dead she is no longer under the old prohibition, and even though she marries again, she is not an adulteress.

wmth@Romans:7:4 @ So, my brethren, to you also the Law died through the incarnation of Christ, that you might be wedded to Another, namely to Him who rose from the dead in order that we might yield fruit to God.

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

wmth@Romans:7:6 @ But seeing that we have died to that which once held us in bondage, the Law has now no hold over us, so that we render a service which, instead of being old and formal, is new and spiritual.

wmth@Romans:7:7 @ What follows? Is the Law itself a sinful thing? No, indeed; on the contrary, unless I had been taught by the Law, I should have known nothing of sin as sin. For instance, I should not have known what covetousness is, if the Law had not repeatedly said,

wmth@Romans:7:8 @ Sin took advantage of this, and by means of the Commandment stirred up within me every kind of coveting; for apart from Law sin would be dead.

wmth@Romans:7:9 @ Once, apart from Law, I was alive, but when the Commandment came, sin sprang into life, and I died;

wmth@Romans:7:10 @ and, as it turned out, the very Commandment which was to bring me life, brought me death.

wmth@Romans:7:11 @ For sin seized the advantage, and by means of the Commandment it completely deceived me, and also put me to death.

wmth@Romans:7:12 @ So that the Law itself is holy, and the Commandment is holy, just and good.

wmth@Romans:7:13 @ Did then a thing which is good become death to me? No, indeed, but sin did; so that through its bringing about death by means of what was good, it might be seen in its true light as sin, in order that by means of the Commandment the unspeakable sinfulness of sin might be plainly shown.

wmth@Romans:7:14 @ For we know that the Law is a spiritual thing; but I am unspiritual–the slave, bought and sold, of sin.

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

wmth@Romans:7:16 @ But if I do that which I do not desire to do, I admit the excellence of the Law,

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

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

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

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

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

wmth@Romans:7:22 @ For in my inmost self all my sympathy is with the Law of God;

wmth@Romans:7:23 @ but I discover within me a different Law at war with the Law of my understanding, and leading me captive to the Law which is everywhere at work in my body–the Law of sin.

wmth@Romans:7:24 @ (Unhappy man that I am! who will rescue me from this death-burdened body?

wmth@Romans:7:25 @ Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord!) To sum up then, with my understanding, I –my true self– am in servitude to the Law of God, but with my lower nature I am in servitude to the Law of sin.

wmth@Romans:8:1 @ There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus;

wmth@Romans:8:2 @ for the Spirit's Law – telling of Life in Christ Jesus– has set me free from the Law that deals only with sin and death.

wmth@Romans:8:3 @ For what was impossible to the Law –powerless as it was because it acted through frail humanity– God effected. Sending His own Son in a body like that of sinful human nature and as a sacrifice for sin, He pronounced sentence upon sin in human nature;

wmth@Romans:8:4 @ in order that in our case the requirements of the Law might be fully met. For our lives are regulated not by our earthly, but by our spiritual natures.

wmth@Romans:8:5 @ For if men are controlled by their earthly natures, they give their minds to earthly things. If they are controlled by their spiritual natures, they give their minds to spiritual things.

wmth@Romans:8:6 @ Because for the mind to be given up to earthly things means death; but for it to be given up to spiritual things means Life and peace.

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

wmth@Romans:8:8 @ And those whose hearts are absorbed in earthly things cannot please God.

wmth@Romans:8:9 @ You, however, are not devoted to earthly, but to spiritual things, if the Spirit of God is really dwelling in you; whereas if any man has not the Spirit of Christ, such a one does not belong to Him.

wmth@Romans:8:10 @ But if Christ is in you, though your body must die because of sin, yet your spirit has Life because of righteousness.

wmth@Romans:8:11 @ And if the Spirit of Him who raised up Jesus from the dead is dwelling in you, He who raised up Christ from the dead will give Life also to your mortal bodies because of His Spirit who dwells in you.

wmth@Romans:8:12 @ Therefore, brethren, it is not to our lower natures that we are under obligation that we should live by their rule.

wmth@Romans:8:13 @ For if you so live, death is near; but if, through being under the sway of the spirit, you are putting your old bodily habits to death, you will live.

wmth@Romans:8:14 @ For those who are led by God's Spirit are, all of them, God's sons.

wmth@Romans:8:15 @ You have not for the second time acquired the consciousness of being –a consciousness which fills you with terror. But you have acquired a deep inward conviction of having been adopted as sons– a conviction which prompts us to cry aloud, »Abba! our Father!«

wmth@Romans:8:16 @ The Spirit Himself bears witness, along with our own spirits, to the fact that we are children of God;

wmth@Romans:8:17 @ and if children, then heirs too–heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ; if indeed we are sharers in Christ's sufferings, in order that we may also be sharers in His glory.

wmth@Romans:8:18 @ Why, what we now suffer I count as nothing in comparison with the glory which is soon to be manifested in us.

wmth@Romans:8:19 @ For all creation, gazing eagerly as if with outstretched neck, is waiting and longing to see the manifestation of the sons of God.

wmth@Romans:8:20 @ For the Creation fell into subjection to failure and unreality (not of its own choice, but by the will of Him who so subjected it).

wmth@Romans:8:21 @ Yet there was always the hope that at last the Creation itself would also be set free from the thraldom of decay so as to enjoy the liberty that will attend the glory of the children of God.

wmth@Romans:8:22 @ For we know that the whole of Creation is groaning together in the pains of childbirth until this hour.

wmth@Romans:8:23 @ And more than that, we ourselves, though we possess the Spirit as a foretaste and pledge of the glorious future, yet we ourselves inwardly sigh, as we wait and long for open recognition as sons through the deliverance of our bodies.

wmth@Romans:8:24 @ It is that we have been saved. But an object of hope is such no longer when it is present to view; for when a man has a thing before his eyes, how can he be said to hope for it?

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

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

wmth@Romans:8:27 @ and the Searcher of hearts knows what the Spirit's meaning is, because His intercessions for God's people are in harmony with God's will.

wmth@Romans:8:28 @ Now we know that for those who love God all things are working together for good–for those, I mean, whom with deliberate purpose He has called.

wmth@Romans:8:29 @ For those whom He has known beforehand He has also pre-destined to bear the likeness of His Son, that He might be the Eldest in a vast family of brothers;

wmth@Romans:8:30 @ and those whom He has pre-destined He also has called; and those whom He has called He has also declared free from guilt; and those whom He has declared free from guilt He has also crowned with glory.

wmth@Romans:8:31 @ What then shall we say to this? If God is on our side, who is there to appear against us?

wmth@Romans:8:32 @ He who did not withhold even His own Son, but gave Him up for all of us, will He not also with Him freely give us all things?

wmth@Romans:8:33 @ Who shall impeach those whom God has chosen? God declares them free from guilt.

wmth@Romans:8:34 @ Who is there to condemn them? Christ Jesus died, or rather has risen to life again. He is also at the right hand of God, and is interceding for us.

wmth@Romans:8:35 @ Who shall separate us from Christ's love? Shall affliction or distress, persecution or hunger, nakedness or danger or the sword?

wmth@Romans:8:36 @ As it stands written in the Scripture,

wmth@Romans:8:37 @ Yet amid all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who has loved us.

wmth@Romans:8:38 @ For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither the lower ranks of evil angels nor the higher, neither things present nor things future, nor the forces of nature,

wmth@Romans:8:39 @ nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God which rests upon us in Christ Jesus our Lord.

wmth@Romans:9:1 @ I am telling you the truth as a Christian man –it is no falsehood, for my conscience enlightened, as it is, by the Holy Spirit adds its testimony to mine–

wmth@Romans:9:2 @ when I declare that I have deep grief and unceasing anguish of heart.

wmth@Romans:9:3 @ For I could pray to be accursed from Christ on behalf of my brethren, my human kinsfolk–for such the Israelites are.

wmth@Romans:9:4 @ To them belongs recognition as God's sons, and they have His glorious Presence and the Covenants, and the giving of the Law, and the Temple service, and the ancient Promises.

wmth@Romans:9:5 @ To them the Patriarchs belong, and from them in respect of His human lineage came the Christ, who is exalted above all, God blessed throughout the Ages. Amen.

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

wmth@Romans:9:7 @ nor because they are Abraham's true children. But the promise was

wmth@Romans:9:8 @ In other words, it is not the children by natural descent who count as God's children, but the children made such by the promise are regarded as Abraham's posterity.

wmth@Romans:9:9 @ For the words are the language of promise and run thus,

wmth@Romans:9:10 @ Nor is that all: later on there was Rebecca too. She was soon to bear two children to her husband, our forefather Isaac–

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

wmth@Romans:9:12" />

wmth@Romans:9:13 @ This agrees with the other Scripture which says,

wmth@Romans:9:14 @ What then are we to infer? That there is injustice in God?

wmth@Romans:9:15 @ No, indeed; the solution is found in His words to Moses,

wmth@Romans:9:16 @ And from this we learn that everything is dependent not on man's will or endeavour, but upon God who has mercy. For the Scripture said to Pharaoh,

wmth@Romans:9:17" />

wmth@Romans:9:18 @ This is a proof that wherever He chooses He shows mercy, and wherever he chooses He hardens the heart.

wmth@Romans:9:19 @ »Why then does God still find fault?« you will ask; »for who is resisting His will?«

wmth@Romans:9:20 @ Nay, but who are you, a mere man, that you should cavil against GOD?

wmth@Romans:9:21 @ Or has not the potter rightful power over the clay to make out of the same lump one vessel for more honourable and another for less honourable uses?

wmth@Romans:9:22 @ And what if God, while choosing to make manifest the terrors of His anger and to show what is possible with Him, has yet borne with long-forbearing patience with the subjects of His anger who stand ready for destruction,

wmth@Romans:9:23 @ in order to make known His infinite goodness towards the subjects of His mercy whom He has prepared beforehand for glory,

wmth@Romans:9:24 @ even towards us whom He has called not only from among the Jews but also from among the Gentiles?

wmth@Romans:9:25 @ So also in Hosea He says,

wmth@Romans:9:26" />

wmth@Romans:9:27 @ And Isaiah cries aloud concerning Israel,

wmth@Romans:9:28" />

wmth@Romans:9:29 @ Even as Isaiah says in an earlier place,

wmth@Romans:9:30 @ To what conclusion does this bring us? Why, that the Gentiles, who were not in pursuit of righteousness, have overtaken it–a righteousness, however, which arises from faith;

wmth@Romans:9:31 @ while the descendants of Israel, who were in pursuit of a Law that could give righteousness, have not arrived at one.

wmth@Romans:9:32 @ And why? Because they were pursuing a righteousness which should arise not from faith, but from what they regarded as merit. They stuck their foot against the stone which lay in their way;

wmth@Romans:9:33 @ in agreement with the statement of Scripture,

wmth@Romans:10:1 @ Brethren, the longing of my heart, and my prayer to God, on behalf of my countrymen is for their salvation.

wmth@Romans:10:2 @ For I bear witness that they possess an enthusiasm for God, but it is an unenlightened enthusiasm.

wmth@Romans:10:3 @ Ignorant of the righteousness which God provides and building their hopes upon a righteousness of their own, they have refused submission to God's righteousness.

wmth@Romans:10:4 @ For as a means of righteousness Christ is the termination of Law to every believer.

wmth@Romans:10:5 @ Moses says that he whose actions conform to the righteousness required by the Law shall live by that righteousness.

wmth@Romans:10:6 @ But the righteousness which is based on faith speaks in a different tone. »Say not in your heart,« it declares, »`Who shall ascend to Heaven?'« –that is, to bring Christ down;

wmth@Romans:10:7 @ »nor `Who shall go down into the abyss?'« –that is, to bring Christ up again from the grave.

wmth@Romans:10:8 @ But what does it say?»The Message is close to you, in your mouth and in your heart;« that is, the Message which we are publishing about the faith–

wmth@Romans:10:9 @ that if with your mouth you confess Jesus as Lord and in your heart believe that God brought Him back to life, you shall be saved.

wmth@Romans:10:10 @ For with the heart men believe and obtain righteousness, and with the mouth they make confession and obtain salvation.

wmth@Romans:10:11 @ The Scripture says,

wmth@Romans:10:12 @ Jew and Gentile are on precisely the same footing; for the same Lord is Lord over all, and is infinitely kind to all who call upon Him for deliverance.

wmth@Romans:10:13 @ For

wmth@Romans:10:14 @ But how are they to call on One in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in One whose voice they have never heard? And how are they to hear without a preacher?

wmth@Romans:10:15 @ And how are men to preach unless they have been sent to do so? As it is written,

wmth@Romans:10:16 @ But, some will say, they have not all hearkened to the Good News. No, for Isaiah asks,

wmth@Romans:10:17 @ And this proves that faith comes from a Message heard, and that the Message comes through its having been spoken by Christ.

wmth@Romans:10:18 @ But, I ask, have they not heard? Yes, indeed:

wmth@Romans:10:19 @ But again, did Israel fail to understand? Listen to Moses first. He says,

wmth@Romans:10:20 @ And Isaiah, with strange boldness, exclaims,

wmth@Romans:10:21 @ While as to Israel he says,

wmth@Romans:11:1 @ I ask then, Has God cast off His People? No, indeed. Why, I myself am an Israelite, of the posterity of Abraham and of the tribe of Benjamin.

wmth@Romans:11:2 @ God has not cast off His People whom He knew beforehand. Or are you ignorant of what Scripture says in speaking of Elijah–how he pleaded with God against Israel, saying,

wmth@Romans:11:3" />

wmth@Romans:11:4 @ But what did God say to him in reply?

wmth@Romans:11:5 @ In the same way also at the present time there has come to be a remnant whom God in His grace has selected.

wmth@Romans:11:6 @ But if it is in His grace that He has selected them, then His choice is no longer determined by human actions. Otherwise grace would be grace no longer.

wmth@Romans:11:7 @ How then does the matter stand? It stands thus. That which Israel are in earnest pursuit of, they have not obtained; but God's chosen servants have obtained it, and the rest have become hardened.

wmth@Romans:11:8 @ And so Scripture says,

wmth@Romans:11:9 @ And David says,

wmth@Romans:11:10" />

wmth@Romans:11:11 @ I ask, however, »Have they stumbled so as to be finally ruined?« No, indeed; but by their lapse salvation has come to the Gentiles in order to arouse the jealousy of the descendants of Israel;

wmth@Romans:11:12 @ and if their lapse is the enriching of the world, and their overthrow the enriching of the Gentiles, will not still greater good follow their restoration?

wmth@Romans:11:13 @ But to you Gentiles I say that, since I am an Apostle specially sent to the Gentiles, I take pride in my ministry,

wmth@Romans:11:14 @ trying whether I can succeed in rousing my own countrymen to jealousy and thus save some of them.

wmth@Romans:11:15 @ For if their having been cast aside has carried with it the reconciliation of the world, what will their being accepted again be but Life out of death?

wmth@Romans:11:16 @ Now if the firstfruits of the dough are holy, so also is the whole mass; and if the root of a tree is holy, so also are the branches.

wmth@Romans:11:17 @ And if some of the branches have been pruned away, and you, although you were but a wild olive, have been grafted in among them and have become a sharer with others in the rich sap of the root of the olive tree,

wmth@Romans:11:18 @ beware of glorying over the natural branches. Or if you are so glorying, do not forget that it is not you who uphold the root: the root upholds you.

wmth@Romans:11:19 @ »Branches have been lopped off,« you will say, »for the sake of my being grafted in.«

wmth@Romans:11:20 @ This is true; yet it was their unbelief that cut them off, and you only stand through your faith.

wmth@Romans:11:21 @ Do not be puffed up with pride. Tremble rather–for if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will He spare you.

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

wmth@Romans:11:23 @ Moreover, if they turn from their unbelief, they too will be grafted in. For God is powerful enough to graft them in again;

wmth@Romans:11:24 @ and if you were cut from that which by nature is a wild olive and contrary to nature were grafted into the good olive tree, how much more certainly will these natural branches be grafted on their own olive tree?

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

wmth@Romans:11:26 @ and so all Israel will be saved. As is declared in Scripture,

wmth@Romans:11:27" />

wmth@Romans:11:28 @ In relation to the Good News, the Jews are God's enemies for your sakes; but in relation to God's choice they are dearly loved for the sake of their forefathers.

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

wmth@Romans:11:30 @ but just as you were formerly disobedient to Him, but now have received mercy at a time when they are disobedient,

wmth@Romans:11:31 @ so now they also have been disobedient at a time when you are receiving mercy; so that to them too there may now be mercy.

wmth@Romans:11:32 @ For God has locked up all in the prison of unbelief, that upon all alike He may have mercy.

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

wmth@Romans:11:34" />

wmth@Romans:11:35" />

wmth@Romans:11:36 @ For the universe owes its origin to Him, was created by Him, and has its aim and purpose in Him. To Him be the glory throughout the Ages! Amen.

wmth@Romans:12:1 @ I plead with you therefore, brethren, by the compassionsof God, to present all your faculties to Him as a living and holy sacrifice acceptable to Him. This with you will be an act of reasonable worship.

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

wmth@Romans:12:3 @ For through the authority graciously given to me I warn every individual among you not to value himself unduly, but to cultivate sobriety of judgement in accordance with the amount of faith which God has allotted to each one.

wmth@Romans:12:4 @ For just as there are in the one human body many parts, and these parts have not all the same function;

wmth@Romans:12:5 @ so collectively we form one body in Christ, while individually we are linked to one another as its members.

wmth@Romans:12:6 @ But since we have special gifts which differ in accordance with the diversified work graciously entrusted to us, if it is prophecy, let the prophet speak in exact proportion to his faith;

wmth@Romans:12:7 @ if it is the gift of administration, let the administrator exercise a sound judgement in his duties.

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

wmth@Romans:12:9 @ Let your love be perfectly sincere. Regard with horror what is evil; cling to what is right.

wmth@Romans:12:10 @ As for brotherly love, be affectionate to one another; in matters of worldly honour, yield to one another.

wmth@Romans:12:11 @ Do not be indolent when zeal is required. Be thoroughly warm-hearted, the Lord's own servants,

wmth@Romans:12:12 @ full of joyful hope, patient under persecution, earnest and persistent in prayer.

wmth@Romans:12:13 @ Relieve the necessities of God's people; always practise hospitality.

wmth@Romans:12:14 @ Invoke blessings on your persecutors–blessings, not curses.

wmth@Romans:12:15 @ Rejoice with those who rejoice; weep with those who weep.

wmth@Romans:12:16 @ Have full sympathy with one another. Do not give your mind to high things, but let humble ways content you.

wmth@Romans:12:17 @ Pay back to no man evil for evil.

wmth@Romans:12:18 @ If you can, so far as it depends on you, live at peace with all the world.

wmth@Romans:12:19 @ Do not be revengeful, my dear friends, but give way before anger; for it is written, says the Lord.«

wmth@Romans:12:20 @ On the contrary, therefore,

wmth@Romans:12:21 @ Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome the evil with goodness.

wmth@Romans:13:1 @ Let every individual be obedient to those who rule over him; for no one is a ruler except by God's permission, and our present rulers have had their rank and power assigned to them by Him.

wmth@Romans:13:2 @ Therefore the man who rebels against his ruler is resisting God's will; and those who thus resist will bring punishment upon themselves.

wmth@Romans:13:3 @ For judges and magistrates are to be feared not by right-doers but by wrong-doers. You desire –do you not?– to have no reason to fear your ruler. Well, do the thing that is right, and then he will commend you.

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

wmth@Romans:13:5 @ We must obey therefore, not only in order to escape punishment, but also for conscience' sake.

wmth@Romans:13:6 @ Why, this is really the reason you pay taxes; for tax-gatherers are ministers of God, devoting their energies to this very work.

wmth@Romans:13:7 @ Pay promptly to all men what is due to them: taxes to those to whom taxes are due, toll to those to whom toll is due, respect to those to whom respect is due, honour to those to whom honour is due.

wmth@Romans:13:8 @ Owe nothing to any one except mutual love; for he who loves his fellow man has satisfied the demands of Law.

wmth@Romans:13:9 @ For the precepts, and all other precepts, are summed up in this one command,

wmth@Romans:13:10 @ Love avoids doing any wrong to one's fellow man, and is therefore complete obedience to Law.

wmth@Romans:13:11 @ Carry out these injunctions because you know the critical period at which we are living, and that it is now high time, to rouse yourselves from sleep; for salvation is now nearer to us than when we first became believers.

wmth@Romans:13:12 @ The night is far advanced, and day is about to dawn. We must therefore lay aside the deeds of darkness, and clothe ourselves with the armour of Light.

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

wmth@Romans:13:14 @ On the contrary, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for gratifying your earthly cravings.

wmth@Romans:14:1 @ I now pass to another subject. Receive as a friend a man whose faith is weak, but not for the purpose of deciding mere matters of opinion.

wmth@Romans:14:2 @ One man's faith allows him to eat anything, while a man of weaker faith eats nothing but vegetables.

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

wmth@Romans:14:4 @ Who are you that you should find fault with the servant of another? Whether he stands or falls is a matter which concerns his own master. But stand he will; for the Master can give him power to stand.

wmth@Romans:14:5 @ One man esteems one day more highly than another; another esteems all days alike. Let every one be thoroughly convinced in his own mind.

wmth@Romans:14:6 @ He who regards the day as sacred, so regards it for the Master's sake; and he who eats certain food eats it for the Master's sake, for he gives thanks to God; and he who refrains from eating it refrains for the Master's sake, and he also gives thanks to God.

wmth@Romans:14:7 @ For not one of us lives to himself, and not one dies to himself.

wmth@Romans:14:8 @ If we live, we live to the Lord: if we die, we die to the Lord. So whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.

wmth@Romans:14:9 @ For this was the purpose of Christ's dying and coming to life–namely that He might be Lord both of the dead and the living.

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

wmth@Romans:14:11 @ for it is written, says the Lord,

wmth@Romans:14:12 @ So we see that every one of us will give account of himself to God.

wmth@Romans:14:13 @ Therefore let us no longer judge one another; but, instead of that, you should come to this judgement–that we must not put a stumbling-block in our brother's path, nor anything to trip him up.

wmth@Romans:14:14 @ As one who lives in union with the Lord Jesus, I know and am certain that in its own nature no food is `impure'; but if people regard any food as impure, to them it is.

wmth@Romans:14:15 @ If your brother is pained by the food you are eating, your conduct is no longer controlled by love. Take care lest, by the food you eat, you lead to ruin a man for whom Christ died.

wmth@Romans:14:16 @ Therefore do not let the boon which is yours in common be exposed to reproach.

wmth@Romans:14:17 @ For the Kingdom of God does not consist of eating and drinking, but of right conduct, peace and joy, through the Holy Spirit;

wmth@Romans:14:18 @ and whoever in this way devotedly serves Christ, God takes pleasure in him, and men highly commend him.

wmth@Romans:14:19 @ Therefore let us aim at whatever makes for peace and mutual upbuilding of character.

wmth@Romans:14:20 @ Do not for food's sake be throwing down God's work. All food is pure; but a man is in the wrong if his food is a snare to others.

wmth@Romans:14:21 @ The right course is to forego eating meat or drinking wine or doing anything that tends to your brother's fall.

wmth@Romans:14:22 @ As for you and your faith, keep your faith to yourself in the presence of God. The man is to be congratulated who does not pronounce judgement on himself in what his actions sanction.

wmth@Romans:14:23 @ But he who has misgivings and yet eats meat is condemned already, because his conduct is not based on faith; for all conduct not based on faith is sinful.

wmth@Romans:15:1 @ As for us who are strong, our duty is to bear with the weaknesses of those who are not strong, and not seek our own pleasure.

wmth@Romans:15:2 @ Let each of us endeavour to please his fellow Christian, aiming at a blessing calculated to build him up.

wmth@Romans:15:3 @ For even the Christ did not seek His own pleasure. His principle was,

wmth@Romans:15:4 @ For all that was written of old has been written for our instruction, so that we may always have hope through the power of endurance and the encouragement which the Scriptures afford.

wmth@Romans:15:5 @ And may God, the giver of power of endurance and of that encouragement, grant you to be in full sympathy with one another in accordance with the example of Christ Jesus,

wmth@Romans:15:6 @ so that with oneness both of heart and voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

wmth@Romans:15:7 @ Habitually therefore give one another a friendly reception, just as Christ also has received you, and thus promote the glory of God.

wmth@Romans:15:8 @ My meaning is that Christ has become a servant to the people of Israel in vindication of God's truthfulness –in showing how sure are the promises made to our forefathers–

wmth@Romans:15:9 @ and that the Gentiles also have glorified God in acknowledgment of His mercy. So it is written,

wmth@Romans:15:10 @ And again the Psalmist says,

wmth@Romans:15:11 @ And again,

wmth@Romans:15:12 @ And again Isaiah says,

wmth@Romans:15:13 @ May God, the giver of hope, fill you with continual joy and peace because you trust in Him–so that you may have abundant hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.

wmth@Romans:15:14 @ But as to you, brethren, I am convinced –yes, I Paul am convinced– that, even apart from my teaching, you are already full of goodness of heart, and enriched with complete Christian knowledge, and are also competent to instruct one another.

wmth@Romans:15:15 @ But I write to you the more boldly –partly as reminding you of what you already know– because of the authority graciously entrusted to me by God,

wmth@Romans:15:16 @ that I should be a minister of Christ Jesus among the Gentiles, doing priestly duties in connexion with God's Good News so that the sacrifice –namely the Gentiles– may be acceptable to Him, being (as it is) an offering which the Holy Spirit has made holy.

wmth@Romans:15:17 @ I can therefore glory in Christ Jesus concerning the work for God in which I am engaged.

wmth@Romans:15:18 @ For I will not presume to mention any of the results that Christ has brought about by other agency than mine in securing the obedience of the Gentiles by word or deed,

wmth@Romans:15:19 @ with power manifested in signs and marvels, and through the power of the Holy Spirit. But –to speak simply of my own labours– beginning in Jerusalem and the outlying districts, I have proclaimed without reserve, even as far as Illyricum, the Good News of the Christ;

wmth@Romans:15:20 @ making it my ambition, however, not to tell the Good News where Christ's name was already known, for fear I should be building on another man's foundation.

wmth@Romans:15:21 @ But, as Scripture says,

wmth@Romans:15:22 @ And it is really this which has again and again prevented my coming to you.

wmth@Romans:15:23 @ But now, as there is no more unoccupied ground in this part of the world, and I have for years past been eager to pay you a visit,

wmth@Romans:15:24 @ I hope, as soon as ever I extend my travels into Spain, to see you on my way and be helped forward by you on my journey, when I have first enjoyed being with you for a time.

wmth@Romans:15:25 @ But at present I am going to Jerusalem to serve God's people,

wmth@Romans:15:26 @ for Macedonia and Greece have kindly contributed a certain sum in relief of the poor among God's people, in Jerusalem.

wmth@Romans:15:27 @ Yes, they have kindly done this, and, in fact, it was a debt they owed them. For seeing that the Gentiles have been admitted in to partnership with the Jews in their spiritual blessings, they in turn are under an obligation to render sacred service to the Jews in temporal things.

wmth@Romans:15:28 @ So after discharging this duty, and making sure that these kind gifts reach those for whom they are intended, I shall start for Spain, passing through Rome on my way there;

wmth@Romans:15:29 @ and I know that when I come to you it will be with a vast amount of blessing from Christ.

wmth@Romans:15:30 @ But I entreat you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love which His Spirit inspires, to help me by wrestling in prayer to God on my behalf,

wmth@Romans:15:31 @ asking that I may escape unhurt from those in Judaea who are disobedient, and that the service which I am going to Jerusalem to render may be well received by the Church there,

wmth@Romans:15:32 @ in order that if God be willing I may come to you with a glad heart, and may enjoy a time of rest with you.

wmth@Romans:15:33 @ May God, who gives peace be with you all! Amen.

wmth@Romans:16:1 @ Herewith I introduce our sister Phoebe to you, who is a servant of the Church at Cenchreae,

wmth@Romans:16:2 @ that you may receive her as a fellow Christian in a manner worthy of God's people, and may assist her in any matter in which she may need help. For she has indeed been a kind friend to many, including myself.

wmth@Romans:16:3 @ Greetings to Prisca and Aquila my fellow labourers in the work of Christ Jesus–

wmth@Romans:16:4 @ friends who have endangered their own lives for mine. I am grateful to them, and not I alone, but all the Gentile Churches also.

wmth@Romans:16:5 @ Greetings, too, to the Church that meets at their house. Greetings to my dear Epaenetus, who was the earliest convert to Christ in the province of Asia;

wmth@Romans:16:6 @ to Mary who has laboured strenuously among you;

wmth@Romans:16:7 @ and to Andronicus and Junia, my countrymen, who once shared my imprisonment. They are of note among the Apostles, and are Christians of longer standing than myself.

wmth@Romans:16:12 @ Greetings to those Christian workers, Tryphaena and Tryphosa; also to dear Persis, who has laboured strenuously in the Lord's work.

wmth@Romans:16:13 @ Greetings to Rufus, who is one of the Lord's chosen people; and to his mother, who has also been a mother to me.

wmth@Romans:16:14 @ Greetings to Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas, and to the brethren associated with them;

wmth@Romans:16:15 @ to Philologus and Julia, Nereus and his sister and Olympas, and to all God's people associated with them.

wmth@Romans:16:16 @ Salute one another with a holy kiss. All the Churches of Christ send greetings to you.

wmth@Romans:16:17 @ But I beseech you, brethren, to keep a watch on those who are causing the divisions among you, and are leading others into sin, in defiance of the instruction which you have received; and habitually to shun them.

wmth@Romans:16:18 @ For men of that stamp are not bondservants of Christ our Lord, but are slaves to their own appetites; and by their plausible words and their flattery they utterly deceive the minds of the simple.

wmth@Romans:16:19 @ Your fidelity to the truth is everywhere known. I rejoice over you, therefore, but I wish you to be wise as to what is good, and simple-minded as to what is evil.

wmth@Romans:16:20 @ And before long, God the giver of peace will crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you!

wmth@Romans:16:21 @ Timothy, my fellow worker, sends you greetings, and so do my countrymen Lucius, Jason and Sosipater.

wmth@Romans:16:22 @ I, Tertius, who write this letter, send you Christian greetings.

wmth@1Corinthians:2:1 @ And as for myself, brethren, when I came to you, it was not with surpassing power of eloquence or earthly wisdom that I came, announcing to you that which God had commanded me to bear witness to.

wmth@1Corinthians:2:5 @ so that your trust might rest not on the wisdom of man but on the power of God.

wmth@1Corinthians:2:9 @ But –to use the words of Scripture– we speak of and which have never entered the heart of man:

wmth@1Corinthians:2:11 @ For, among human beings, who knows a man's inner thoughts except the man's own spirit within him? In the same way, also, only God's Spirit is acquainted with God's inner thoughts.

wmth@1Corinthians:2:13 @ Of these we speak –not in language which man's wisdom teaches us, but in that which the Spirit teaches– adapting, as we do, spiritual words to spiritual truths.

wmth@1Corinthians:2:14 @ The unspiritual man rejects the things of the Spirit of God, and cannot attain to the knowledge of them, because they are spiritually judged.

wmth@1Corinthians:2:15 @ But the spiritual man judges of everything, although he is himself judged by no one.

wmth@1Corinthians:3:13 @ the true character of each individual's work will become manifest. For the day of Christ will disclose it, because that day is soon to come upon us clothed in fire, and as for the quality of every one's work– the fire is the thing which will test it.

wmth@1Corinthians:3:18 @ Let no one deceive himself. If any man imagines that he is wise, compared with the rest of you, with the wisdom of the present age, let him become »foolish« so that he may be wise.

wmth@1Corinthians:3:21 @ Therefore let no one boast about his human teachers.

wmth@1Corinthians:4:5 @ Therefore form no premature judgements, but wait until the Lord returns. He will both bring to light the secrets of darkness and will openly disclose the motives that have been in people's hearts; and then the praise which each man deserves will come to him from God.

wmth@1Corinthians:4:11 @ To this very moment we endure both hunger and thirst, with scanty clothing and many a blow.

wmth@1Corinthians:4:17 @ For this reason I have sent Timothy to you. Spiritually he is my dearly-loved and faithful child. He will remind you of my habits as a Christian teacher–the manner in which I teach everywhere in every Church.

wmth@1Corinthians:5:1 @ It is actually reported that there is fornication among you, and of a kind unheard of even among the Gentiles–a man has his father's wife!

wmth@1Corinthians:5:2 @ And you, instead of mourning and removing from among you the man who has done this deed of shame, are filled with self-complacency!

wmth@1Corinthians:5:5 @ I have handed over such a man to Satan for the destruction of his body, that his spirit may be saved on the day of the Lord Jesus.

wmth@1Corinthians:5:11 @ But what I meant was that you were not to associate with any one bearing the name of »brother,« if he was addicted to fornication or avarice or idol-worship or abusive language or hard-drinking or greed of gain. With such a man you ought not even to eat.

wmth@1Corinthians:5:13 @ while you leave to God's judgement those who are outside? Remove the wicked man from among you.

wmth@1Corinthians:6:5 @ I say this to put you to shame. Has it come to this, that there does not exist among you a single wise man competent to decide between a man and his brother,

wmth@1Corinthians:6:16 @ Or do you not know that a man who has to do with a prostitute is one with her in body? For God says,

wmth@1Corinthians:6:18 @ Flee from fornication. Any other sin that a human being commits lies outside the body; but he who commits fornication sins against his own body.

wmth@1Corinthians:7:1 @ I now deal with the subjects mentioned in your letter. It is well for a man to abstain altogether from marriage.

wmth@1Corinthians:7:2 @ But because there is so much fornication every man should have a wife of his own, and every woman should have a husband.

wmth@1Corinthians:7:3 @ Let a man pay his wife her due, and let a woman also pay her husband his.

wmth@1Corinthians:7:4 @ A married woman is not mistress of her own person: her husband has certain rights. In the same way a married man is not master of his own person: his wife has certain rights.

wmth@1Corinthians:7:6 @ Thus much in the way of concession, not of command.

wmth@1Corinthians:7:13 @ And a woman who has an unbelieving husband–if he consents to live with her, let her not separate from him.

wmth@1Corinthians:7:14 @ For, in such cases, the unbelieving husband has become –and is– holy through union with a Christian woman, and the unbelieving wife is holy through union with a Christian brother. Otherwise your children would be unholy, but in reality they have a place among God's people.

wmth@1Corinthians:7:15 @ If, however, the unbeliever is determined to leave, let him or her do so. Under such circumstances the Christian man or woman is no slave; God has called us to live lives of peace.

wmth@1Corinthians:7:16 @ For what assurance have you, O woman, as to whether you will save your husband? Or what assurance have you, O man, as to whether you will save your wife?

wmth@1Corinthians:7:18 @ This is what I command in all the Churches. Was any one already circumcised when called? Let him not have recourse to the surgeons. Was any one uncircumcised when called? Let him remain uncircumcised.

wmth@1Corinthians:7:19 @ Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing: obedience to God's commandments is everything.

wmth@1Corinthians:7:20 @ Whatever be the condition in life in which a man was, when he was called, in that let him continue.

wmth@1Corinthians:7:22 @ For a Christian, if he was a slave when called, is the Lord's freed man, and in the same way a free man, if called, becomes the slave of Christ.

wmth@1Corinthians:7:25 @ Concerning unmarried women I have no command to give you from the Lord; but I offer you my opinion, which is that of a man who, through the Lord's mercy, is deserving of your confidence.

wmth@1Corinthians:7:26 @ I think then that, taking into consideration the distress which is now upon us, it is well for a man to remain as he is.

wmth@1Corinthians:7:32 @ And I would have you free from worldly anxiety. An unmarried man concerns himself with the Lord's business–how he shall please the Lord;

wmth@1Corinthians:7:33 @ but a married man concerns himself with the business of the world–how he shall please his wife.

wmth@1Corinthians:7:34 @ There is a difference too between a married and an unmarried woman. She who is unmarried concerns herself with the Lord's business –that she may be holy both in body and spirit; but the married woman concerns herself with the business of the world– how she shall please her husband.

wmth@1Corinthians:7:39 @ A woman is bound to her husband during the whole period that he lives; but if her husband dies, she is at liberty to marry whom she will, provided that he is a Christian.

wmth@1Corinthians:8:3 @ but if any one loves God, that man is known by God.

wmth@1Corinthians:8:5 @ For if so-called gods do exist, either in Heaven or on earth –and in fact there are many such gods and many such lords–

wmth@1Corinthians:9:10 @ Is God simply thinking about the oxen? Or is it really in our interest that He speaks? Of course, it was written in our interest, because it is His will that when a plough-man ploughs, and a thresher threshes, it should be in the hope of sharing that which comes as the result.

wmth@1Corinthians:9:19 @ Though free from all human control, I have made myself the slave of all in the hope of winning as many converts as possible.

wmth@1Corinthians:10:13 @ No temptation has you in its power but such as is common to human nature; and God is faithful and will not allow you to be tempted beyond your strength. But, when the temptation comes, He will also provide the way of escape; so that you may be able to bear it.

wmth@1Corinthians:10:17 @ Since there is one loaf, we who are many are one body; we, all of us, share in that one loaf.

wmth@1Corinthians:10:24 @ Let no one be for ever seeking his own good, but let each seek that of his fellow man.

wmth@1Corinthians:10:33 @ That is the way that I also seek in everything the approval of all men, not aiming at my own profit, but at that of the many, in the hope that they may be saved.

wmth@1Corinthians:11:3 @ I would have you know, however, that of every man, Christ is the Head, that of a woman her husband is the Head, and that God is Christ's Head.

wmth@1Corinthians:11:4 @ A man who wears a veil when praying or prophesying dishonors his Head;

wmth@1Corinthians:11:5 @ but a woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her Head, for it is exactly the same as if she had her hair cut short.

wmth@1Corinthians:11:6 @ If a woman will not wear a veil, let her also cut off her hair. But since it is a dishonor to a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, let her wear a veil.

wmth@1Corinthians:11:7 @ For a man ought not to have a veil on his head, since he is the image and glory of God; while woman is the glory of man.

wmth@1Corinthians:11:8 @ Man does not take his origin from woman, but woman takes hers from man.

wmth@1Corinthians:11:9 @ For man was not created for woman's sake, but woman for man's.

wmth@1Corinthians:11:10 @ That is why a woman ought to have on her head a symbol of subjection, because of the angels.

wmth@1Corinthians:11:11 @ Yet, in the Lord, woman is not independent of man nor man independent of woman.

wmth@1Corinthians:11:12 @ For just as woman originates from man, so also man comes into existence through woman, but everything springs originally from God.

wmth@1Corinthians:11:13 @ Judge of this for your own selves: is it seemly for a woman to pray to God when she is unveiled?

wmth@1Corinthians:11:14 @ Does not Nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair it is a dishonor to him,

wmth@1Corinthians:11:15 @ but that if a woman has long hair it is her glory, because her hair was given her for a covering?

wmth@1Corinthians:11:21 @ for it is his own supper of which each of you is in a hurry to partake, and one eats like a hungry man, while another has already drunk to excess.

wmth@1Corinthians:11:27 @ Whoever, therefore, in an unworthy manner, eats the bread or drinks from the cup of the Lord sins against the body and blood of the Lord.

wmth@1Corinthians:11:28 @ But let a man examine himself, and, having done that, then let him eat the bread and drink from the cup.

wmth@1Corinthians:11:30 @ That is why many among you are sickly and out of health, and why not a few die.

wmth@1Corinthians:12:7 @ But to each of us a manifestation of the Spirit has been granted for the common good.

wmth@1Corinthians:12:9 @ to a third man, by means of the same Spirit, special faith; to another various gifts of healing, by means of the one Spirit;

wmth@1Corinthians:12:12 @ For just as the human body is one and yet has many parts, and all its parts, many as they are, constitute but one body, so it is with the Church of Christ.

wmth@1Corinthians:12:14 @ For the human body does not consist of one part, but of many.

wmth@1Corinthians:12:20 @ But, as a matter of fact, there are many parts and but one body.

wmth@1Corinthians:13:11 @ When I was a child, I talked like a child, felt like a child, reasoned like a child: when I became a man, I put from me childish ways.

wmth@1Corinthians:14:5 @ I should be right glad were you all to speak in `tongues,' but yet more glad were you all to prophesy. And, in fact, the man who prophesies is superior to him who speaks in `tongues,' except when the latter can interpret in order that the Church may get a blessing.

wmth@1Corinthians:14:13 @ Therefore let a man who has the gift of tongues pray for the power of interpreting them.

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

wmth@1Corinthians:14:24 @ If, on the other hand, every one is prophesying and an unbeliever or an ungifted man comes in, he is convicted by all and closely examined by all,

wmth@1Corinthians:14:28 @ or if there is no interpreter, let the man with the gift be silent in the Church, speaking to himself and to God.

wmth@1Corinthians:14:35 @ and if they wish to ask questions, they should ask their own husbands at home. For it is disgraceful for a married woman to speak at a Church assembly.

wmth@1Corinthians:14:37 @ If any one deems himself to be a Prophet or a man with spiritual gifts, let him recognize as the Lord's command all that I am now writing to you.

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

wmth@1Corinthians:15:21 @ For seeing that death came through man, through man comes also the resurrection of the dead.

wmth@1Corinthians:15:27 @ for He will have put all things in subjection under His feet. And when He shall have declared that »All things are in subjection,« it will be with the manifest exception of Him who has reduced them all to subjection to Him.

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

wmth@1Corinthians:15:36 @ Foolish man! the seed you yourself sow has no life given to it unless it first dies;

wmth@1Corinthians:15:39 @ All flesh is not the same: there is human flesh, and flesh of cattle, of birds, and of fishes.

wmth@1Corinthians:15:47 @ The first man is a man of earth, earthy; the second man is from Heaven.

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

wmth@2Corinthians:1:11 @ while you on your part lend us your aid in entreaty for us, so that from many lips thanksgivings may rise on our behalf for the boon granted to us at the intercession of many.

wmth@2Corinthians:2:4 @ For with many tears I write to you, and in deep suffering and depression of spirit, not in order to grieve you, but in the hope of showing you how brimful my heart is with love for you.

wmth@2Corinthians:2:10 @ When you forgive a man an offence I also forgive it; for in fact what I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, has always been for your sakes in the presence of Christ,

wmth@2Corinthians:3:3 @ For all can see that you are a letter of Christ entrusted to our care, and written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the ever-living God–and not on tablets of stone, but on human hearts as tablets.

wmth@2Corinthians:3:11 @ For if that which was to be abolished came with glory, much more is that which is permanent arrayed in glory.

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

wmth@2Corinthians:4:16 @ Therefore we are not cowards. Nay, even though our outward man is wasting away, yet our inward man is being renewed day by day.

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

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

wmth@2Corinthians:6:10 @ as sad, but we are always joyful; as poor, but we bestow wealth on many; as having nothing, and yet we securely possess all things.

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

wmth@2Corinthians:7:12 @ Therefore, though I wrote to you, it was not to punish the offender, nor to secure justice for him who had suffered the wrong, but it was chiefly in order that your earnest feeling on our behalf might become manifest to yourselves in the sight of God.

wmth@2Corinthians:7:15 @ And his strong and tender affection is all the more drawn out towards you when he recalls to mind the obedience which all of you manifested by the timidity and nervous anxiety with which you welcomed him.

wmth@2Corinthians:8:8 @ I am not saying this by way of command, but to test by the standard of other men's earnestness the genuineness of your love also.

wmth@2Corinthians:8:12 @ For, assuming the earnest willingness, the gift is acceptable according to whatever a man has, and not according to what he has not.

wmth@2Corinthians:8:21 @ For we seek not only God's approval of our integrity, but man's also.

wmth@2Corinthians:8:22 @ And we send with them our brother, of whose zeal we have had frequent proof in many matters, and who is now more zealous than ever through the strong confidence which he has in you.

wmth@2Corinthians:10:4 @ The weapons with which we fight are not human weapons, but are mighty for God in overthrowing strong fortresses.

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

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

wmth@2Corinthians:10:18 @ For it is not the man that commends himself who is really approved, but he whom the Lord commends.

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

wmth@2Corinthians:11:18 @ Since many boast for merely human reasons, I too will boast.

wmth@2Corinthians:11:23 @ Are they servants of Christ? (I speak as if I were out of my mind.) Much more am I His servant; serving Him more thoroughly than they by my labours, and more thoroughly also by my imprisonments, by excessively cruel floggings, and with risk of life many a time.

wmth@2Corinthians:11:25 @ Three times I have been beaten with Roman rods, once I have been stoned, three times I have been shipwrecked, once for full four and twenty hours I was floating on the open sea.

wmth@2Corinthians:11:27 @ with labour and toil, with many a sleepless night, in hunger and thirst, in frequent fastings, in cold, and with insufficient clothing.

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

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

wmth@Galatians:1:10 @ For is it man's favour or God's that I aspire to? Or am I seeking to please men? If I were still a man-pleaser, I should not be Christ's bondservant.

wmth@Galatians:1:11 @ For I must tell you, brethren, that the Good News which was proclaimed by me is not such as man approves of.

wmth@Galatians:1:12 @ For, in fact, it was not from man that I received or learnt it, but by a revelation from Jesus Christ.

wmth@Galatians:1:14 @ and how in devotion to Judaism I outstripped many men of my own age among my people, being far more zealous than they on behalf of the traditions of my forefathers.

wmth@Galatians:2:16 @ know that it is not through obedience to Law that a man can be declared free from guilt, but only through faith in Jesus Christ. We have therefore believed in Christ Jesus, for the purpose of being declared free from guilt, through faith in Christ and not through obedience to Law. For through obedience to Law no human being shall be declared free from guilt.

wmth@Galatians:3:15 @ Brethren, even a covenant made by a man –to borrow an illustration from daily life– when once formally sanctioned is not liable to be set aside or added to.

wmth@Galatians:3:16 @ (Now the promises were given to Abraham and to his seed. God did not say »and to seeds,« as if speaking of many, but »and to your seed,« since He spoke of only one–and this is Christ.)

wmth@Galatians:3:22 @ But Scripture has shown that all mankind are the prisoners of sin, in order that the promised blessing, which depends on faith in Jesus Christ, may be given to those who believe.

wmth@Galatians:3:28 @ In Him the distinctions between Jew and Gentile, slave and free man, male and female, disappear; you are all one in Christ Jesus.

wmth@Galatians:4:4 @ But, when the time was fully come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born subject to Law,

wmth@Galatians:4:22 @ For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave-girl and one by the free woman.

wmth@Galatians:4:23 @ But we see that the child of the slave-girl was born in the common course of nature; but the child of the free woman in fulfilment of the promise.

wmth@Galatians:4:31 @ Therefore, brethren, since we are not the children of a slave-girl, but of the free woman–

wmth@Galatians:5:3 @ I once more protest to every man who receives circumcision that he is under obligation to obey the whole Law of Moses.

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

wmth@Galatians:6:4 @ But let every man scrutinize his own conduct, and then he will find out, not with reference to another but with reference to himself, what he has to boast of.

wmth@Galatians:6:5 @ For every man will have to carry his own load.

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

wmth@Ephesians:2:15 @ by setting aside the Law with its commandments, expressed, as they were, in definite decrees. His design was to unite the two sections of humanity in Himself so as to form one new man,

wmth@1Thessalonians:2:15 @ Those Jewish persecutors killed both the Lord Jesus and the Prophets, and drove us out of their midst. They are displeasing to God, and are the enemies of all mankind;

wmth@1Thessalonians:4:4 @ that each man among you shall know how to procure a wife who shall be his own in purity and honour;

wmth@1Thessalonians:4:8 @ Therefore a defiant spirit in such a case provokes not man but God, who puts His Holy Spirit into your hearts.

wmth@1Timothy:3:16 @ And, beyond controversy, great is the mystery of our religion– that Christ appeared in human form, and His claims justified by the Spirit, was seen by angels and proclaimed among Gentile nations, was believed on in the world, and received up again into glory.

wmth@1Timothy:4:10 @ and here is the motive of our toiling and wrestling, because we have our hopes fixed on the ever-living God, who is the Saviour of all mankind, and especially of believers.

wmth@1Timothy:4:11 @ Command this and teach this.

wmth@1Timothy:4:12 @ Let no one think slightingly of you because you are a young man; but in speech, conduct, love, faith and purity, be an example for your fellow Christians to imitate.

wmth@1Timothy:5:1 @ Never administer a sharp reprimand to a man older than yourself; but entreat him as if he were your father, and the younger men as brothers;

wmth@1Timothy:5:8 @ But if a man makes no provision for those dependent on him, and especially for his own family, he has disowned the faith and is behaving worse than an unbeliever.

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

wmth@1Timothy:5:18 @ For the Scripture says, and the workman deserves his pay.

wmth@1Timothy:6:9 @ But people who are determined to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many unwise and pernicious ways which sink mankind in destruction and ruin.

wmth@1Timothy:6:11 @ But you, O man of God, must flee from these things; and strive for uprightness, godliness, good faith, love, fortitude, and a forgiving temper.

wmth@1Timothy:6:12 @ Exert all your strength in the honourable struggle for the faith; lay hold of the Life of the Ages, to which you were called, when you made your noble profession of faith before many witnesses.

wmth@1Timothy:6:14 @ that you keep God's commandments stainlessly and without reproach till the Appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ.

wmth@1Timothy:6:16 @ who alone possesses immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, and whom no man has seen or can see. To Him be eternal honour and power! Amen.

wmth@2Timothy:1:15 @ Of this you are aware, that all the Christians in Roman Asia have deserted me: and among them Phygelus and Hermogenes.

wmth@2Timothy:1:16 @ May the Lord show mercy to the household of Onesiphorus; for many a time he cheered me and he was not ashamed of my chain.

wmth@2Timothy:2:2 @ All that you have been taught by me in the hearing of many witnesses, you must hand on to trusty men who shall themselves, in turn, be competent to instruct others also.

wmth@2Timothy:2:6 @ The harvestman who labours in the field must be the first to get a share of the crop.

wmth@2Timothy:2:21 @ If therefore a man keeps himself clear of these latter, he himself will be for specially honourable use, consecrated, fit for the Master's service, and fully equipped for every good work.

wmth@2Timothy:3:9 @ But they will have no further success; for their folly will be as clearly manifest to all men, as that of the opponents of Moses came to be.

wmth@2Timothy:3:17 @ so that the man of God may himself be complete and may be perfectly equipped for every good work.

wmth@Titus:1:3 @ And at the appointed time He clearly made known His Message in the preaching with which I was entrusted by the command of God our Saviour:

wmth@Titus:1:6 @ wherever there is a man of blameless life, true to his one wife, having children who are themselves believers and are free from every reproach of profligacy or of stubborn self-will.

wmth@Titus:1:7 @ For, as God's steward, a minister must be of blameless life, not over-fond of having his own way, not a man of a passionate temper nor a hard drinker, not given to blows nor greedy of gain,

wmth@Titus:1:10 @ For there are many that spurn authority–idle, talkative and deceitful persons, who, for the most part, are adherents of the Circumcision.

wmth@Titus:1:12 @ One of their own number –a Prophet who is a countryman of theirs– has said, »Cretans are always liars, dangerous animals, idle gluttons.«

wmth@Titus:2:1 @ But as for you, you must speak in a manner that befits wholesome teaching.

wmth@Titus:2:10 @ but manifesting perfect fidelity and kind feeling, in order to bring honour to the teaching of our Saviour, God, in all things.

wmth@Titus:2:11 @ For the grace of God has displayed itself with healing power to all mankind,

wmth@Titus:3:2 @ not speak evil of any one, nor be contentious, but yield unselfishly to others and constantly manifest a forgiving spirit towards all men.

wmth@Titus:3:4 @ But when the goodness of God our Saviour, and His love to man, dawned upon us, not in consequence of things which we,

wmth@Titus:3:8 @ This is a faithful saying, and on these various points I would have you insist strenuously, in order that those who have their faith fixed on God may be careful to set an example of good actions. For these are not only good in themselves, but are also useful to mankind.

wmth@Titus:3:11 @ for, as you know, a man of that description has turned aside from the right path and is a sinner self-condemned.

wmth@Philemon:1:5 @ because I hear of your love and of the faith which you have towards the Lord Jesus and which you manifest towards all God's people;

wmth@Hebrews:1:1 @ God, who in ancient days spoke to our forefathers in many distinct messages and by various methods through the Prophets,

wmth@Hebrews:1:3 @ He brightly reflects God's glory and is the exact representation of His being, and upholds the universe by His all-powerful word. After securing man's purification from sin He took His seat at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

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

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

wmth@Hebrews:2:9 @ But Jesus –who was made a little inferior to the angels in order that through God's grace He might taste death for every human being– we already see wearing a crown of glory and honour because of His having suffered death.

wmth@Hebrews:2:10 @ For it was fitting that He for whom, and through whom, all things exist, after He had brought many sons to glory, should perfect by suffering the Prince Leader who had saved them.

wmth@Hebrews:2:14 @ Since then the children referred to are all alike sharers in perishable human nature, He Himself also, in the same way, took on Him a share of it, in order that through death He might render powerless him who had authority over death, that is, the Devil,

wmth@Hebrews:3:12 @ see to it, brethren, that there is never in any one of you –as perhaps there may be– a sinful and unbelieving heart, manifesting itself in revolt from the ever-living God.

wmth@Hebrews:6:1 @ Therefore leaving elementary instruction about the Christ, let us advance to mature manhood and not be continually re-laying a foundation of repentance from lifeless works and of faith in God,

wmth@Hebrews:6:10 @ For God is not unjust so that He is unmindful of your labour and of the love which you have manifested towards Himself in having rendered services to His people and in still rendering them.

wmth@Hebrews:6:11 @ But we long for each of you to continue to manifest the same earnestness, with a view to your enjoying fulness of hope to the very End;

wmth@Hebrews:7:1 @ For this man, Melchizedek, King of Salem and priest of the Most High God –he who when Abraham was returning after defeating the kings met him and pronounced a blessing on him–

wmth@Hebrews:7:3 @ with no father or mother, and no record of ancestry: having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made a type of the Son of God–this man Melchizedek remains a priest for ever.

wmth@Hebrews:7:23 @ And they have been appointed priests many in number, because death prevents their continuance in office:

wmth@Hebrews:8:2 @ and ministers in the Holy place and in the true tabernacle which not man, but the Lord pitched.

wmth@Hebrews:9:4 @ This had a censer of gold, and the ark of the Covenant lined with gold and completely covered with gold, and in it were a gold vase which held the manna, and Aaron's rod which budded and the tables of the Covenant.

wmth@Hebrews:9:19 @ For when Moses had proclaimed to all the people every commandment contained in the Law, he took the blood of the calves and of the goats and with them water, scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people,

wmth@Hebrews:9:25 @ Nor did He enter for the purpose of many times offering Himself in sacrifice, just as the High Priest enters the Holy place, year after year, taking with him blood not his own.

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

wmth@Hebrews:9:27 @ And since it is reserved for all mankind once to die, and afterwards to be judged;

wmth@Hebrews:9:28 @ so the Christ also, having been once offered in sacrifice in order that He might bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, separated from sin, to those who are eagerly expecting Him, to make their salvation complete.

wmth@Hebrews:10:32 @ But continually recall to mind the days now past, when on being first enlightened you went through a great conflict and many sufferings.

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

wmth@Hebrews:11:6 @ But where there is no faith it is impossible truly to please Him; for the man who draws near to God must believe that there is a God and that He proves Himself a rewarder of those who earnestly try to find Him.

wmth@Hebrews:11:12 @ And thus there sprang from one man, and him practically dead, a nation like the stars of the sky in number, and like the sands on the sea shore which cannot be counted.

wmth@Hebrews:11:14 @ for men who acknowledge this make it manifest that they are seeking elsewhere a country of their own.

wmth@Hebrews:11:19 @ For he reckoned that God is even able to raise a man up from among the dead, and, figuratively speaking, it was from among the dead that he received Isaac again.

wmth@Hebrews:11:24 @ Through faith Moses, when he grew to manhood, refused to be known as Pharaoh's daughter's son,

wmth@Hebrews:13:14 @ For we have no permanent city here, but we are longing for the city which is soon to be ours.

wmth@James:1:8 @ such a one is a man of two minds, undecided in every step he takes.

wmth@James:1:10 @ but a rich man should rejoice in being brought low, for like flowers among the herbage rich men will pass away.

wmth@James:1:14 @ But when a man is tempted, it is his own passions that carry him away and serve as a bait.

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

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

wmth@James:1:24 @ Although he has looked carefully at himself, he goes away, and has immediately forgotten the sort of man he is.

wmth@James:1:26 @ If a man thinks that he is scrupulously religious, although he is not curbing his tongue but is deceiving himself, his religious service is worthless.

wmth@James:2:1 @ My brethren, you must not make distinctions between one man and another while you are striving to maintain faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, who is our glory.

wmth@James:2:2 @ For suppose a man comes into one of your meetings wearing gold rings and fine clothes, and there also comes in a poor man wearing shabby clothes,

wmth@James:2:3 @ and you pay court to the one who wears the fine clothes, and say, »Sit here; this is a good place;« while to the poor man you say, »Stand there, or sit on the floor at my feet;«

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

wmth@James:2:8 @ If, however, you are keeping the Law as supreme, in obedience to the Commandment which says you are acting rightly.

wmth@James:2:9 @ But if you are making distinctions between one man and another, you are guilty of sin, and are convicted by the Law as offenders.

wmth@James:2:10 @ A man who has kept the Law as a whole, but has failed to keep some one command, has become guilty of violating all.

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

wmth@James:2:24 @ You all see that it is because of actions that a man is pronounced righteous, and not simply because of faith.

wmth@James:2:26 @ For just as a human body without a spirit is lifeless, so also faith is lifeless if it is unaccompanied by obedience.

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

wmth@James:3:2 @ For we often stumble and fall, all of us. If there is any one who never stumbles in speech, that man has reached maturity of character and is able to curb his whole nature.

wmth@James:3:4 @ So too with ships, great as they are, and often driven along by strong gales, yet they can be steered with a very small rudder in whichever direction the caprice of the man at the helm chooses.

wmth@James:3:7 @ For brute nature under all its forms –beasts and birds, reptiles and fishes– can be subjected and kept in subjection by human nature.

wmth@James:3:8 @ But the tongue no man or woman is able to tame. It is an ever-busy mischief, and is full of deadly poison.

wmth@James:3:13 @ Which of you is a wise and well-instructed man? Let him prove it by a right life with conduct guided by a wisely teachable spirit.

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

wmth@James:4:12 @ The only real Lawgiver and Judge is He who is able to save or to destroy. Who are you to sit in judgement on your fellow man?

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

wmth@James:5:6 @ You have condemned –you have murdered– the righteous man: he offers no resistance.

wmth@James:5:15 @ And the prayer of faith will restore the sick man, and the Lord will raise him up to health; and if he has committed sins, they shall be forgiven.

wmth@James:5:16 @ Therefore confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, so that you may be cured. The heartfelt supplication of a righteous man exerts a mighty influence.

wmth@James:5:17 @ Elijah was a man with a nature similar to ours, and he earnestly prayed that there might be no rain: and no rain fell on the land for three years and six months.

wmth@James:5:20 @ let him know that he who brings a sinner back from his evil ways will save the man's soul from death and throw a veil over a multitude of sins.

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

wmth@1Peter:1:17 @ And if you address as your Father Him who judges impartially in accordance with each man's actions, then spend in fear the time of your stay here on earth,

wmth@1Peter:1:20 @ He was pre-destined indeed to this work, even before the creation of the world, but has been plainly manifested in these last days for the sake of you who, through Him,

wmth@1Peter:2:13 @ Submit, for the Lord's sake, to every authority set up by man, whether it be to the Emperor as supreme ruler,

wmth@1Peter:2:19 @ For it is an acceptable thing with God, if, from a sense of duty to Him, a man patiently submits to wrong, when treated unjustly.

wmth@1Peter:3:18 @ because Christ also once for all died for sins, the innocent One for the guilty many, in order to bring us to God. He was put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit,

wmth@1Peter:4:2 @ that in future you may spend the rest of your earthly lives, governed not by human passions, but by the will of God.

wmth@1Peter:4:6 @ For it is with this end in view that the Good News was proclaimed even to some who were dead, that they may be judged, as all mankind will be judged, in the body, but may be living a godly life in the spirit.

wmth@1Peter:4:10 @ Whatever be the gifts which each has received, you must use them for one another's benefit, as good stewards of God's many-sided kindness.

wmth@1Peter:4:18 @ And if it is difficult even for a righteous man to be saved, what will become of irreligious men and sinners?

wmth@2Peter:1:5 @ But for this very reason –adding, on your part, all earnestness– along with your faith, manifest also a noble character: along with a noble character, knowledge;

wmth@2Peter:1:9 @ For the man in whom they are lacking is blind and cannot see distant objects, in that he has forgotten that he has been cleansed from his old sins.

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

wmth@2Peter:1:21 @ for never did any prophecy come by human will, but men sent by God spoke as they were impelled by the Holy Spirit.

wmth@2Peter:2:2 @ And in their immoral ways they will have many eager disciples, through whom religion will be brought into disrepute.

wmth@2Peter:2:8 @ (For their lawless deeds were torture, day after day, to the pure soul of that righteous man–all that he saw and heard whilst living in their midst.)

wmth@2Peter:2:16 @ But he was rebuked for his transgression: a dumb ass spoke with a human voice and checked the madness of the Prophet.

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

wmth@2Peter:2:21 @ For it would have been better for them not to have fully known the way of righteousness, than, after knowing it, to turn back from the holy commandments in which they were instructed.

wmth@2Peter:3:2 @ so that you may recall the words spoken long ago by the holy Prophets, and the commandments of our Lord and Saviour given you through your Apostles.

wmth@2Peter:3:5 @ For they are wilfully blind to the fact that there were heavens which existed of old, and an earth, the latter arising out of water and extending continuously through water, by the command of God;

wmth@2Peter:3:7 @ But the present heavens and the present earth are, by the command of the same God, kept stored up, reserved for fire in preparation for a day of judgement and of destruction for the ungodly.

wmth@2Peter:3:10 @ The day of the Lord will come like a thief–it will be a day on which the heavens will pass away with a rushing noise, the elements be destroyed in the fierce heat, and the earth and all the works of man be utterly burnt up.

wmth@1John:1:2 @ the Life was manifested, and we have seen and bear witness, and we declare unto you the Life of the Ages which was with the Father and was manifested to us–

wmth@1John:2:3 @ And by this we may know that we know Him–if we obey His commands.

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

wmth@1John:2:6 @ The man who professes to be continuing in Him is himself also bound to live as He lived.

wmth@1John:2:7 @ My dearly-loved friends, it is no new command that I am now giving you, but an old command which you have had from the very beginning. By the old command I mean the teaching which you have already received.

wmth@1John:2:8 @ And yet I giving you a new command, for such it really is, so far as both He and you are concerned: because the darkness is now passing away and the light, the true light, is already beginning to shine.

wmth@1John:2:9 @ Any one who professes to be in the light and yet hates his brother man is still in darkness.

wmth@1John:2:10 @ He who loves his brother man continues in the light, and his life puts no stumbling-block in the way of others.

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

wmth@1John:2:18 @ Dear children, the last hour has come; and as you once heard that there was to be an anti-Christ, so even now many anti-Christs have appeared. By this we may know that the last hour has come.

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

wmth@1John:2:29 @ Since you know that He is righteous, be assured also that the man who habitually acts righteously is a child of His.

wmth@1John:3:3 @ And every man who has this hope fixed on Him, purifies himself so as to be as pure as He is.

wmth@1John:3:7 @ Dear children, let no one lead you astray. The man who acts righteously is righteous, just as He is righteous.

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

wmth@1John:3:15 @ Every one who hates his brother man is a murderer; and you know that no murderer has the Life of the Ages continuing in him.

wmth@1John:3:17 @ But if any one has this world's wealth and sees that his brother man is in need, and yet hardens his heart against him–how can such a one continue to love God?

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

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

wmth@1John:3:24 @ The man who obeys His commands continues in union with God, and God continues in union with him; and through His Spirit whom He has given us we can know that He continues in union with us.

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

wmth@1John:4:2 @ The test by which you may recognize the Spirit of God is that every spirit which acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come as man is from God,

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

wmth@1John:4:9 @ God's love for us has been manifested in that He has sent His only Son into the world so that we may have Life through Him.

wmth@1John:4:17 @ Our love will be manifested in all its perfection by our having complete confidence on the day of the Judgement; because just what He is, we also are in the world.

wmth@1John:4:18 @ Love has in it no element of fear; but perfect love drives away fear, because fear involves pain, and if a man gives way to fear, there is something imperfect in his love.

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

wmth@1John:4:21 @ And the command which we have from Him is that he who loves God must love his brother man also.

wmth@1John:5:2 @ The fact that we love God Himself, and obey His commands, is a proof that we love God's children.

wmth@1John:5:3 @ Love for God means obedience to His commands; and His commands are not irksome.

wmth@1John:5:5 @ Who but the man that believes that Jesus is the Son of God overcomes the world?

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

wmth@2John:1:4 @ It is an intense joy to me to have found some of your children living true Christian lives, in obedience to the command which we have received from the Father.

wmth@2John:1:5 @ And now, dear lady, I pray you –writing to you, as I do, not a new command, but the one which we have had from the very beginning– let us love one another.

wmth@2John:1:6 @ The love of which I am speaking consists in our living in obedience to God's commands. God's command is that you should live in obedience to what you all heard from the very beginning.

wmth@2John:1:7 @ For many deceivers have gone out into the world–men who do not acknowledge Jesus as Christ who has come in human nature. Such a one is `the deceiver' and `the anti-Christ.'

wmth@3John:1:6 @ They have testified, in the presence of the Church, to your love; and you will do well to help them on their journey in a manner worthy of your fellowship with God.

wmth@Jude:1:7 @ So also Sodom and Gomorrah –and the neighboring towns in the same manner– having been guilty of gross fornication and having gone astray in pursuit of unnatural vice, are now before us as a specimen of the fire of the Ages in the punishment which they are undergoing.
