mnt@Matthew:26:17 @ On the first day of the feast of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and said, "Where do you want us to make preparation for you eat the Passover?"

mnt@Matthew:26:21 @ and as they were eating, he said to them, "In solemn truth I tell you that one of you is going to betray me!"

mnt@Matthew:26:24 @ "The Son of man is indeed to go as it is written concerning him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of man shall be betrayed. It were good for that man if he had never been born."

mnt@Matthew:26:28 @ "Drink from it, all of you; for this is my blood of the Covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.

mnt@Matthew:26:29 @ "But I say to you, I will never again drink of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in the kingdom of my Father."

mnt@Matthew:26:30 @ So after singing a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

mnt@Matthew:26:31 @ Then Jesus said to them. "This very night even you will all stumble and fall away from me; for it is written, "I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.

mnt@Matthew:26:37 @ And he took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee with him, and began to be in anguish and sore distress,

mnt@Matthew:26:40 @ Then he came to his disciples, and found them asleep, and said to Peter. "So you were none of you strong enough to watch with me even one hour!

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

mnt@Matthew:26:47 @ Barely had he spoken these words when Judas, one of the Twelve, appeared, accompanied by a great crowd of men with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people.

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

mnt@Matthew:26:53 @ "Do you not suppose that I am able to appeal to my Father to furnish me at this very moment with twelve legions of angels?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

mnt@Mark:1:1 @ Beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;

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

mnt@Mark:1:4 @ In the desert came Johnwho baptized, and preached a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;

mnt@Mark:1:5 @ and all the land of Judea, and all the people of Jerusalem, kept going out to him, and were baptized by him in the Jordan river, confessing their sins.

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

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

mnt@Mark:1:14 @ After Johnhad been thrown into prison Jesus came into Galilee preaching the gospel of God.

mnt@Mark:1:15 @ "The time is now come," he said, "and the kingdom of God is near! Repent and believe the gospel."

mnt@Mark:1:16 @ And as he was passing along by the sea of Galilee he saw Simon and Andrew, Simons brother, casting their net into the sea, for they were fishermen;

mnt@Mark:1:17 @ so Jesus said to them, "Come after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men."

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

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

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

mnt@Mark:1:25 @ But Jesus rebuked him, saying. "Be quit! Come out of him."

mnt@Mark:1:26 @ So the unclean spirit, after tearing him, came out of him with a loud cry;

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

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

mnt@Mark:1:30 @ Now Simons mother-in-law lay sick of fever, and without delay they told him about her.

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

mnt@Mark:2:4 @ When they could not get him near to Jesus because of the crowd, they removed the roof under which he stood, and after making an opening, they let down the cot on which the paralytic was lying.

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

mnt@Mark:2:14 @ As he was passing by he saw Levi, the son of Alphaeus, sitting in the tax-office; and he said to him, "Follow me." So he rose and followed him.

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

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

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

mnt@Mark:2:19 @ "Can friends of the bridegroom fast while he is still with them?" asked Jesus. "As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

mnt@Mark:3:22 @ The Scribes also who had come down from Jerusalem, said, "He is Beelzebub," and, "He casts out demons by the power of the Prince of the demons."

mnt@Mark:3:27 @ "Indeed, no one can enter the strong mans house and carry off his property without first binding the strong man; then he can plunder his house.

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

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

mnt@Mark:4:5 @ some other seed fell on stony soil, where it had not much earth; and it sprang up quickly because it had no depth of soil,

mnt@Mark:4:11 @ He went on to say to them. "The secret truth concerning the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to those outside everything is told in parables,

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

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

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

mnt@Mark:4:28 @ Of its own accord the earth bears its crops; first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.

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

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

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

mnt@Mark:5:1 @ Then they came to the country of the Gadarenes, on the opposite side of the sea;

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

mnt@Mark:5:6 @ As he caught sight of Jesus from afar, he ran and knelt before him,

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

mnt@Mark:5:8 @ For Jesus was saying, "Foul spirit, come out of the man."

mnt@Mark:5:10 @ Over and over he continued to beg Jesus not to send them away out of the country.

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

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

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

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

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

mnt@Mark:5:34 @ "Daughter," he said, "your faith has saved you. Go in peace, and be cured of your complaint."

mnt@Mark:5:35 @ While he was still speaking men came from the house of the warden of the synagogue to tell him, "Your daughter is dead, why trouble the Teacher any further?"

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

mnt@Mark:5:37 @ He would not permit any one to go with him, except Peter and Jamesand John, the brother of James.

mnt@Mark:5:38 @ As they came to the house of the warden of the synagogue, he gazed upon a tumult, many weeping and wailing shrilly.

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

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

mnt@Mark:6:3 @ Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and the brother of Jamesand Joses and Judas and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us?"

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

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

mnt@Mark:6:11 @ and if any place does not receive you, or listen to you, as you go out of it shake off the dust under your feet, as a warning to them."

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

mnt@Mark:6:15 @ "He is Elijah," said others. And still others were saying, "He is a prophet, like one of the old prophets."

mnt@Mark:6:17 @ Now this Herod had sent and arrested John, and bound him in prison, for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philips wife, whom he had married.

mnt@Mark:6:18 @ For Johnhad often told Herod, "It is not right for you to live with your brothers wife."

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

mnt@Mark:6:21 @ Then came a convenient day, when Herod on his birthday held a feast for his lords and generals and the leading men of Galilee,

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

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

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

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

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

mnt@Mark:6:29 @ When Johns disciples heard of this, they came, and took his body, and laid it in a tomb.

mnt@Mark:6:37 @ In answer he said to them, "You yourselves are to give them food." "Are we to go and buy fifty dollars worth of bread," they said, "and give them food?"

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

mnt@Mark:6:46 @ After he had taken leave of them, he went away into the mountain to pray.

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

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

mnt@Mark:6:56 @ And whenever he entered into villages or cities or the fields they would lay the sick in the market-places and beseech him to let them touch even the tassel of his cloak, and all who touched him were made well.

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

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

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

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

mnt@Mark:7:6 @ "Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, hypocrites," he answered. "As it is written, "This people honor me with their lips, While their hearts are far from me;

mnt@Mark:7:8 @ "You neglect the commandment of God, and hold fast the traditions of men."

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

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

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

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

mnt@Mark:7:21 @ From within, from the heart of man, proceed evil purposes -

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

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

mnt@Mark:7:26 @ (the woman was a Greek, a Syro-phoenician by race), and again and again she begged him to cast the demon out of her daughter.

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

mnt@Mark:7:31 @ Again he left the region of Tyre, and passed through Sidon to the Sea of Galilee, crossing the District of the Ten Towns.

mnt@Mark:7:35 @ And his ears were opened and the bond of his tongue was loosened, and he spoke plainly. Then Jesus charged them not to tell any one, but the more he charged them, the more they published it;

mnt@Mark:8:3 @ and if I send them away fasting to their homes, they will faint on the way. Moreover, some of them are from a distance."

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

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

mnt@Mark:8:11 @ And the Pharisees came out and began to question him, seeking from him a sign from heaven, by way of testing him.

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

mnt@Mark:8:19 @ Do you not remember? When I broke the five loaves among the five thousand, how many baskets of broken pieces did you take up?" "Twelve," they said.

mnt@Mark:8:20 @ "And when the seven for the four thousand, how many hampers full of fragments did you pick up?"

mnt@Mark:8:27 @ From there Jesus and his disciples went to the villages of Caesarea Philippi, and on the way he began to question his disciples saying, "Who do people say I am?"

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

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

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

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

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

mnt@Mark:9:7 @ Then there came a cloud overshadowing them; and there came a voice out of the cloud. "This is my Son, my beloved. Listen to him."

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

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

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

mnt@Mark:9:17 @ "Master," answered one of the crowd, "I brought my son to you; he has a dumb spirit in him;

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

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

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

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

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

mnt@Mark:9:39 @ "Do not try to stop him," Jesus answered, "for there is no one who performs a miracle in my name who can soon speak evil of me.

mnt@John:2:8 @ So they filled them brimful. Then he said, "Draw some out now, and carry it to the master of the feast."

mnt@John:2:9 @ So they carried it. And when the master of the feast had tasted of the water which had been made wine, not knowing where it came from, though the attendants who had drawn it knew, he called the bridegroom and said to him.

mnt@John:2:11 @ This beginning of signs Jesus performed in Cana of Galilee, and showed forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him there.

mnt@John:2:13 @ Now the Passover of the Jews was near, so Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

mnt@John:2:15 @ So he plaited a scourge of rushes, and drove all out of the temple - both the sheep and oxen. He began to pour out the coins of the money- changers, and to overturn their tables,

mnt@John:3:10 @ "Are you the Teacher of Israel, and yet you do not understand these things?" said Jesus.

mnt@John:3:11 @ "Most solemnly I tell you we are speaking of what we know, and it is about that of which we were eyewitnesses that we give testimony. Yet all of you reject our testimony.

mnt@John:3:12 @ If I have told you earthly things and yet none of you believe me, how will you believe if I tell you concerning heavenly things?

mnt@John:3:13 @ There is no one gone up to heaven, except the One who came down from heaven - the Son of man himself.

mnt@John:3:22 @ After this Jesus and his disciples went into the countryside of Judea, and there he was staying with them and baptizing.

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

mnt@John:3:26 @ "Rabbi, see! The man who was with you on the other side of Jordan, and to whom you yourself have borne testimony, is now baptizing, and everybody is coming to him."

mnt@John:3:29 @ He who has the bride is the bridegroom, but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegrooms voice. So then this joy of mine has now complete fulfilment.

mnt@John:3:31 @ "He that comes from above is above all; but one who is of the earth, of the earth he is, and of the earth he speaks. He who comes from heaven is above all.

mnt@John:3:36 @ Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but he who disobeys the Son shall not see life, but he who disobeys the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides upon him."

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

mnt@John:4:34 @ Jesus said to them. "My food is to do the will of Him who sent me, and to accomplish his work.

mnt@John:4:38 @ I sent you to reap a crop on which you have not toiled. Others have toiled, and you have reaped the benefit of their toil."

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

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

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

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

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

mnt@John:4:49 @ "Sir," said the kings officer, "come down before my little boy dies."

mnt@John:5:1 @ After this there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

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

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

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

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

mnt@John:5:24 @ "I tell you solemnly that he who listens to my messages and believes Him who sent me, has eternal life. He will not come under condemnation, but has passed out of death into life.

mnt@John:5:25 @ "Solemnly I tell you that the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear shall live.

mnt@John:5:36 @ "But I have testimony greater than that of John; for the work which the Father has given me to bring to completion - the work which I am doing - bears testimony concerning me, that the Father has sent me.

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

mnt@John:6:8 @ One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon, said to him.

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

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

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

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

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

mnt@John:6:25 @ When they found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, "Rabbi, when did you get here?"

mnt@John:6:26 @ Jesus answered. "In solemn truth I tell you that you are looking for me, not because you saw miracles signs, but because you ate of the bread and were filled.

mnt@John:6:27 @ "Labor not for food which perishes, but for the food that endures eternal life - that which the Son of man will give you; for on the Father - God - has set his seal."

mnt@John:6:28 @ "What are we to do habitually," they asked him, "that we may keep working the words of God?"

mnt@John:6:29 @ "This is the work of God," answered Jesus, "that you believe on him whom He has sent you."

mnt@John:6:31 @ "Our fathers ate manna in the wilderness, as it is written, He gave them bread out of heaven to eat."

mnt@John:6:32 @ "In solemn truth I tell you," said Jesus in reply, "Moses did not give you the bread out of heaven, but my Father does give you the true bread out of heaven;

mnt@John:6:33 @ "for the bread of God is what come down from heaven, and gives life to the world."

mnt@John:6:35 @ "I myself am the bread of life," answered Jesus; "he who comes to me shall never hunger, and he that believes on me shall never thirst again.

mnt@John:6:42 @ "Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph? Do we not know his father and mother? How is it that he now says, I have come down from heaven?"

mnt@John:7:37 @ Now the last day, that the great day of the feast, Jesus stood up and cried in a loud voice.

mnt@John:19:14 @ And it was the day of Preparation for the Passover, about six oclock in the morning. Then he said to the Jews, "Behold your King!"

mnt@John:19:17 @ So they took Jesus, who went forth bearing his own cross, to a place called The Place of a Skull - in the Hebrew tongue, Golgotha.

mnt@John:19:19 @ And Pilate moreover wrote an inscription and placed it above the cross. What he wrote was, "JESUS, THE NAZARENE, KING OF THE JEWS"

mnt@John:19:20 @ This inscription was read by many of the Jews, because the place where they crucified Jesus was near the city, and the inscription was written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek.

mnt@John:19:21 @ So the high priests of the Jews said to Pilate, "Do not write King of the Jews, but He said, I am King of the Jews."

mnt@John:19:25 @ Now there stood near the cross of Jesus, his mother and his mothers sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.

mnt@John:19:28 @ After that, when Jesus knew that everything was now accomplished, he said in fulfilment of the words of Scripture, "I am thirsty."

mnt@John:19:29 @ There was a jar full of vinegar standing there; and they filled a sponge with vinegar, and put it upon a stalk of hyssop, and put it to his lips.

mnt@John:19:34 @ One of the soldiers, however, pierced his side with a lance, and immediately blood and water flowed out.

mnt@John:19:36 @ For this happened that the Scripture might be fulfilled, Not one of his bones shall be broken.

mnt@John:19:38 @ After these things Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but in secret because of fear of the Jews, asked Pilate for permission to take the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave him leave. So he came and took the body.

mnt@John:19:39 @ Nicodemus also (the one who visited Jesus by night, at first) came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, weighing nearly a hundred pounds.

mnt@John:19:40 @ So they took the body of Jesus and wound it in linen with the spices, according to the Jewish mode of burial.

mnt@John:19:42 @ Here, because of its being Preparation Day, and as the tomb was near by, they placed Jesus.

mnt@John:20:1 @ On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, while it was yet dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and discovered that the stone had been removed from the tomb.

mnt@John:20:19 @ On the evening of that same day, the first day of the week, although the doors of the room where the disciples gathered had been locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came, and there he stood among them, saying. "Peace to you!"

mnt@John:20:24 @ But Thomas, one of the Twelve, who was called "The Twin." was not with them when Jesus came.

mnt@John:20:25 @ Accordingly the other disciples kept telling him, "We have seen the Lord." But he told them, "Unless I see in his hands the print of the nails, and thrust my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe it."

mnt@John:20:30 @ There were then many other signs which Jesus performed in the presence of his disciples, which have not been written in this book;

mnt@John:21:10 @ "Bring some of the fish you have just caught," Jesus told them.

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

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

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

mnt@John:21:19 @ This he said to show by what kind of death Peter was to glorify God. After speaking thus, he said to him, "Follow me."

mnt@John:21:21 @ On catching sight of him, Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, what about him?"

mnt@John:21:25 @ But there are also many other things which Jesus did; if every one of them were to be recorded in detail I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that would have to be written.

mnt@Acts:1:3 @ After his sufferings he had also shown himself alive to them in many convincing manifestations, revealing himself to them during forty days, and speaking of the kingdom of God.

mnt@Romans:1:16 @ FOR I AM PROUD OF THE GOSPEL. IT IS GODS SAVING POWER FOR EVERY ONE WHO BELIEVES. FOR THE JEW FIRST, AND ALSO FOR THE GENTILE.

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

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

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

mnt@Romans:1:22 @ While they professed to be wise, they became fools,

mnt@Romans:1:23 @ and exchanged the majesty of the imperishable God for an idol, graven in the likeness of perishable man, or of birds and four-footed beasts and creeping things.

mnt@Romans:1:24 @ So God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their own bodies;

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

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

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

mnt@Romans:1:29 @ They were overflowing with every kind of iniquity, depravity, greed, and malice. They were full of envy, murder, quarreling, deceit, and malignity.

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

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

mnt@Romans:2:3 @ Very well; and do you suppose, you who judge those that practise such vices, and are doing the very same, that you will elude the judgment of God?

mnt@Romans:2:4 @ Or do you despise the riches of his kindness and forbearance and long patience? Do you not know that the kindness of God is leading you to repentance?

mnt@Romans:2:5 @ In your hardness and impenitence of heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath on the Day of Wrath, when the righteous judgment of God is revealed.

mnt@Romans:2:9 @ Anguish and calamity will be upon every soul of man who practises evil, upon the Jew first, and also upon the Gentile;

mnt@Romans:2:13 @ For it is not the hearers of law who are righteous in the eyes of God; nay, it is the doers of law who will be accounted righteous.

mnt@Romans:2:14 @ For when Gentiles, who have no law, obey by natural instinct the commands of the Law, they even though they have no law, are a law to themselves.

mnt@Romans:2:15 @ For they show that the work of the Law is written in their hearts, while their conscience bears them witness, as their reasonings accuse, or it may be defend, them,

mnt@Romans:2:16 @ in the day when God will judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to my gospel.

mnt@Romans:2:17 @ Now if you bear the name of a Jew, and rely upon law, and boast yourself in God,

mnt@Romans:2:18 @ and know his will, and can test the things that differ; if you are instructed out of the Law,

mnt@Romans:2:20 @ an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of the young, because you have in the Law the form of knowledge and of the truth - well then, you who are teaching others, do you ever teach yourself?

mnt@Romans:2:23 @ You who are making your boast in the Law, do you habitually dishonor God through your transgressions of the Law?

mnt@Romans:2:24 @ For the name of God is continually blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you, even as the Scripture itself says.

mnt@Romans:2:25 @ Circumcision does indeed profit, if you are obedient to the Law; but if you habitually break the Law, your circumcision is become uncircumcision.

mnt@Romans:2:26 @ So if the uncircumcised keeps the ordinance of the Law, shall not his uncircumcision be reckoned equivalent to circumcision.

mnt@Romans:2:27 @ And shall not those who are physically uncircumcised, but who keep the Law, condemn you who are a breaker of the Law, although you have a written law and circumcision?

mnt@Romans:3:1 @ What special privilege, then, has the Jew? Or what is the use of circumcision?

mnt@Romans:3:2 @ Much in every way. First of all, because to them were entrusted the oracles of God.

mnt@Romans:3:3 @ Supposing some of them have proved faithless?

mnt@Romans:3:5 @ But if our unrighteousness thus brings out Gods righteousness, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous - I speak after the manner of men - when he inflicts his anger on us?

mnt@Romans:3:7 @ But if by a falsehood of mine the truthfulness of God has been made to redound to his glory, why am I still tried as a sinner?

mnt@Romans:3:8 @ And why not say (as I myself am slanderously reported to say), "Let us do evil that good may come out of it"? Such arguments are rightly condemned.

mnt@Romans:3:12 @ All have swerved from the right path; Every one of them has become corrupt. There is none that practises good, no, not one.

mnt@Romans:3:13 @ Their throat is an open grave; With their tongues they have used deceit. The venom of asps is under their lips.

mnt@Romans:3:14 @ Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.

mnt@Romans:3:17 @ And the path of peace they have not known.

mnt@Romans:3:19 @ Now we know that whatever the Law says, it speaks to those who are under the Law; so that every mouth may be shut, and all the world may be brought under the judgment of God.

mnt@Romans:3:20 @ For no man will be justified in Gods sight by works of the Law; for through the Law comes the consciousness of sin.

mnt@Romans:3:25 @ For God openly set him forth for himself as an offering of atonement through faith, by means of his blood, in order to show forth his righteousness - since in his forbearance he had passed over the sins previously committed - to show forth his righteousness,

mnt@Romans:3:26 @ I say, at this present time; that he himself might be just, and yet the justifier of him who has faith in Jesus.

mnt@Romans:3:27 @ Then what becomes of boasting? It is shut out. What sort of law forbids it? A law of works? No, but a law of faith.

mnt@Romans:3:28 @ For I conclude that a man is justified by faith, altogether apart from the deeds of the Law.

mnt@Romans:3:29 @ Is God then the God of the Jews alone, and not of the Gentiles also? He is God of the Gentiles also,

mnt@Romans:4:1 @ What then shall we say of Abraham, our ancestor in the flesh?

mnt@Romans:4:2 @ For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to be proud of, but not before God.

mnt@Romans:4:6 @ Just as David also speaks of the blessedness of the man to whom God imputes righteousness apart from actions.

mnt@Romans:4:11 @ and he received circumcision as a sign, a seal of the faith- righteousness which he had while he was in uncircumcision; in order that he might be the father of all who believe, even though they are uncircumcised; so that righteousness might be imputed to them.

mnt@Romans:4:12 @ He is the father of circumcision to those who are not merely circumcised, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham which he held while he was as yet uncircumcised.

mnt@Romans:4:13 @ For the promise that he should be heir of the world did not come to Abraham or to his posterity through law, but through faith- righteousness.

mnt@Romans:4:16 @ This is why righteousness is of faith, that it may be a free gift; so that the promise stands firm to all Abrahams posterity; not to his children of his faith. For in the sight of the God in whom he believed, who gives life to the dead, and calls into being that which is not, Abraham is the father of us all both Jews and Gentiles,

mnt@Romans:4:17 @ as it is written, I have made you a father of many nations.

mnt@Romans:4:18 @ For Abraham, hoping against hope, had faith to the end that he might become a father of many nations, according to that which had been spoken, So numberless shall your descendants be.

mnt@Romans:4:20 @ Nor did he with regard to the promise of God waver in unbelief, but he waxed strong in faith, while he gave God glory,

mnt@Romans:5:1 @ Since we stand justified as the result of faith, let us continue to enjoy the peace we have with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.

mnt@Romans:5:2 @ Through him also we have had our access into this grace in which we have taken our stand, and are exulting in hope of the glory of God.

mnt@Romans:5:5 @ a hope which never disappoints us. For through the Holy Spirit who has given to us, the "brimming river of the love of God" has overflowed in our hearts.

mnt@Romans:5:8 @ But God gives proof of his love to us by the fact that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

mnt@Romans:5:9 @ By how much more, then, being now justified in his blood, shall we be saved through him from the wrath of God.

mnt@Romans:5:10 @ For if, when we were Gods enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved in his life.

mnt@Romans:5:14 @ Nevertheless, from Adam to Moses death reigned as king, even over those who had not sinned after the likeness of Adams transgression. Now Adam is a type of Him who was to come.

mnt@Romans:5:15 @ But the free gift is not like the transgression; for if through the transgression of that one man the rest on men died, much more did the grace of God and the gift given in his grace in the one Man, Jesus Christ, overflow unto the rest of men.

mnt@Romans:5:17 @ For if through the transgression of the one, death reigned as king through the one, much more shall those who receive the overflowing grace and gift of righteousness reign as kings in life through One, through Jesus Christ.

mnt@Romans:5:18 @ It follows then, as through the transgression of one man came condemnation unto all men, even so through the act of righteousness of One came acquittal and life to all men.

mnt@Romans:5:19 @ For just as through the disobedience of one man the rest were made sinners; even so by the obedience of One shall all the rest be made righteous.

mnt@Romans:6:3 @ For do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Jesus Christ, have been baptized into his death?

mnt@Romans:6:4 @ We have been buried together with him, then, through baptism into his death, in order that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so also we should live in a newness of life.

mnt@Romans:6:5 @ For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, so we shall also be united with him in the likeness of his resurrection.

mnt@Romans:6:6 @ For this we know, that our old self was crucified with Christ, in order that the slave of sin might be destroyed; so that we should no longer be in slavery to sin -

mnt@Romans:6:13 @ Do not continue to present any part of your body to sin to be used as a weapon of unrighteousness. On the contrary, be presenting yourselves to God, as alive from the dead, and the various parts of your bodies to be used as weapons of righteousness.

mnt@Romans:6:14 @ For sin shall not lord it over you; for you are not under the rule of law, but under the rule of grace.

mnt@Romans:6:15 @ What then? Shall we commit an act of sin because we are not under law, but under grace? Certainly not.

mnt@Romans:6:17 @ But God be thanked that you who were once the slaves of sin have obeyed from your hearts that type of teaching to which you were appointed;

mnt@Romans:6:18 @ and being set free from sin, you became the slaves of righteousness -

mnt@Romans:6:19 @ I speak in these homely figures because of the weakness of your fleshly nature - just as you once surrendered your faculties into slavery to impurity and to all lawlessness, so now you must surrender your faculties into slavery to righteousness, unto deeds of holiness.

mnt@Romans:6:20 @ For when you were the slaves of sin, you were under no subjection to righteousness.

mnt@Romans:6:21 @ What harvest-fruit then had you at that time in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.

mnt@Romans:6:22 @ But now that you have been set free from sin and become slaves of God, the harvest-fruit which you are reaping tends to produce holiness, and it ends is life eternal.

mnt@Romans:6:23 @ FOR THE POOR WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH, BUT THE FREE GIFT OF GOD IS ETERNAL LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS, OUR MASTER.

mnt@Romans:7:2 @ For a married woman who has a husband is bound by law to her husband during his lifetime; but if her husband dies, she is released from the law of her husband.

mnt@Romans:7:4 @ So also, my brother, you were made dead to the Law through the body of Christ; that you should be joined to another, even to Him who was raised from the dead that we might bear fruit for God.

mnt@Romans:7:5 @ For while we were unspiritual, the sinful passions, aroused by the Law, were ever active in every part of our bodies, leading us to bear fruit unto death.

mnt@Romans:7:7 @ What shall we say then? Is the Law sin? Certainly not. On the contrary I should not have become acquainted with sin had it not been for the Law; for except the Law had repeatedly said, "Thou shalt not lust," I should never have known the sin of lust.

mnt@Romans:7:8 @ But when sin had gained a vantage-ground, by means of the commandment, it stirred up within me all manner of lust; for where there is no law, sin is dead.

mnt@Romans:7:13 @ Did then that which was good become for me death? Never! but sin did; that it might be manifest as sin, by that the unutterable malignity of sin might become plain through the commandment.

mnt@Romans:7:14 @ For we know that the Law is spiritual; but as for me, I am a creature of flesh, bought and sold under the dominion of sin.

mnt@Romans:7:22 @ For in my inmost self I delight in the law of God;

mnt@Romans:7:23 @ but I find a different law in my bodily faculties, waging war with the law of my will, and taking me prisoner to that law of sin which is in my bodily faculties.

mnt@Romans:7:24 @ Oh, wretched man that I am! Who shall deliver me from this slave of death?

mnt@Romans:7:25 @ Oh, thank God! it is through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then I myself in my will am in thraldom to the law of God; yet in my animal nature I am in thraldom to the law of sin.

mnt@Romans:8:2 @ for the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and of death.

mnt@Romans:8:3 @ For God has done what the Law could not do, weakened as it was by flesh. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and on account of sin, he condemned sin in the flesh;

mnt@Romans:8:5 @ For they who live after the flesh, give their attention to the things of the flesh; But they who live after the spirit, give their attention to spiritual things.

mnt@Romans:8:7 @ For to be earthly minded is enmity against God; For such a mind is not subject to the Law of God, Nor can it be;

mnt@Romans:8:9 @ But you are not earthly, but spiritual, if indeed the Spirit of God is really dwelling in you. If any one does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

mnt@Romans:8:10 @ But if Christ is in you, though your bodily self is dead because of sin, your spirit is full of life because of righteousness.

mnt@Romans:8:11 @ But if the Spirit of Him who raised up Jesus from dead is dwelling in you, He who raised up Jesus from the dead is dwelling in you, He who raised up Christ Jesus from the dead will also make your dying bodily self live by his indwelling Spirit in your lives.

mnt@Romans:8:13 @ for if you go on living according to the flesh, you are on the road to die; but if by the Spirit you keep putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

mnt@Romans:8:14 @ For only those are sons of God who are led by Gods Spirit.

mnt@Romans:8:15 @ For you have not received a spirit of slavery in order that you should once more be afraid; but you have received a spirit of adoption, in which we cry out, "My Father, my dear Father!"

mnt@Romans:8:16 @ For his Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit, that we are children of God;

mnt@Romans:8:17 @ and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ; but to share his glory, we must now be sharing his sufferings.

mnt@Romans:8:19 @ All nature even is waiting with eager longing for the unveiling of the vision of Gods sons.

mnt@Romans:8:20 @ For nature was subjected to imperfection, not by its own will, but by the will of Him who thus made it subject -

mnt@Romans:8:21 @ yet not without the hope that some day nature itself also will be freed from the thraldom of decay, into the freedom which belongs to the glory of the children of God.

mnt@Romans:8:23 @ And not only that, we ourselves, although we are grasping the first- fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves are inwardly groaning, while we are waiting for adoption, the redemption of our body.

mnt@Romans:8:27 @ And the Searcher of Hearts knows what the Sprits meaning is, because his intercessions for the saints are according to the will of God.

mnt@Romans:8:29 @ For whom he foreknew, he also foreordained to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, so that he might be the eldest of a great brotherhood;

mnt@Romans:8:34 @ Who is there to condemn them? Will Christ who died? Yes, and who rose from the dead, The Christ who is also at the right hand of God, And is interceding for us?

mnt@Romans:8:35 @ What shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall anguish, or calamity, or persecution, or famine? Shall nakedness, or peril, or sword?

mnt@Romans:8:38 @ For I am fully persuaded that neither death nor life, Neither angels nor principalities, nor powers, Neither the present world nor the world to come, Nor the powers of Nature,

mnt@Romans:8:39 @ Nor height, nor depth, Nor any other created thing, Shall be able to separate us from the love of God Which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

mnt@Romans:9:3 @ For I was on the point of praying to be accursed from Christ on behalf of my brothers, my kinsmen according to the flesh.

mnt@Romans:9:4 @ For they are Israelites; to them belong the sonship, the Shekinah glory, the covenants, the giving of the Law; the service of the temple, and the promises;

mnt@Romans:9:5 @ theirs are the patriarchs, and of them, as concerning the flesh, is Christ, who is over all, God, blessed forever, Amen.

mnt@Romans:9:7 @ they are not all children of Abraham because they are Abrahams descendants. The promise was, In Isaac shall thy posterity be called.

mnt@Romans:9:8 @ That is, it is not the children of the flesh who are children of God; but the children of the promise are counted as his posterity.

mnt@Romans:9:9 @ For thus is the word of promise, According to this season I will come, and Sarah shall bear a son.

mnt@Romans:9:10 @ And not only so, but when Rebecca was pregnant by our forefather Isaac, though one man was the father of both children,

mnt@Romans:9:11 @ and even though they were still unborn, and had done nothing either good or bad, in order that the purpose of God might stand according to election, not of works, but of Him who called,

mnt@Romans:9:16 @ So then it is not a question of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who has mercy.

mnt@Romans:9:21 @ Or has not the potter power over the clay, to make out of the same lump one vessel for noble, and another for ignoble uses?

mnt@Romans:9:22 @ But what if God, while intending to show forth his wrath, and to make known his power, yet endured, with much long-suffering, vessels of wrath, fitted to destruction?

mnt@Romans:9:23 @ And what if he thus purposed to make known the riches of his glory upon vessels of mercy, which he had before prepared for glory?

mnt@Romans:9:26 @ And in that very spot where it was told them, "You are not my people," There they shall be called "Sons of the living God."

mnt@Romans:9:27 @ And in regard to Israel, Isaiah exclaims. Though the number of the sons of Israel be like the sands of the sea, it is but a remnant of those who shall be saved;

mnt@Romans:9:29 @ Even as in an earlier passage, Isaiah says, Except the Lord of Sabbath had us some few descendants, we should have become like Sodom, and should have fared like Gomorrah.

mnt@Romans:9:30 @ What then shall we say? That Gentiles who never pursed righteousness have overtaken it, even the righteousness of faith?

mnt@Romans:9:31 @ But that the descendants of Israel, who were in pursuit of a law of righteousness, did not arrive at that law?

mnt@Romans:9:32 @ And why? Because they sought it not by faith, but thought to gain it by works. They stumbled at the stone of stumbling;

mnt@Romans:9:33 @ even as it is written. Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense; but he that believes on Him shall not be put to shame.

mnt@Romans:10:1 @ Brothers, the longing of my heart and my prayer to God is for my countrymen, that they may be saved.

mnt@Romans:10:3 @ For because they were ignorant of Gods righteousness, and sought to establish their own righteousness, they did not submit themselves to the righteousness of God.

mnt@Romans:10:4 @ For to every believer Christ is an end of law as a means of righteousness.

mnt@Romans:10:5 @ For Moses writes concerning the righteousness of the Law, saying, The man that doeth it shall live by it.

mnt@Romans:10:6 @ But the righteousness of faith speaks in this way. Say not in thine heart, "Who shall ascend to heaven?" - that is, to bring Christ down;

mnt@Romans:10:8 @ But what does it say? The word is near thee, even in thy mouth and in thy heart. That is the very word of faith which we preach;

mnt@Romans:10:13 @ for Whoever will call upon the name of the Lord will be saved.

mnt@Romans:10:14 @ How then shall thy call upon Him in whom they do not believe? And how are they to believe in One of whom they have never heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?

mnt@Romans:10:15 @ And how can men preach unless they are sent? As it is written, How beautiful are the feet of those who bring a glad gospel.

mnt@Romans:10:17 @ So faith comes from a message heard, and the message comes from the teaching of Christ.

mnt@Romans:10:18 @ But I ask, Did they fail to hear? Yes, truly, Their sound has gone out unto all the earth, And their words unto the ends of the world.

mnt@Romans:10:19 @ But I say, Did Israel not know? First Moses says. I will provoke you to jealousy with that which is no nation; Against a Gentile nation, void of understanding, will I anger you.

mnt@Romans:10:20 @ But Isaiah speaks very boldly, I was found of those who were not seeking me, I was made manifest to those who were not asking for me.

mnt@Romans:11:1 @ Then I ask, Did God cast off his people? No indeed. For I also am an Israelite, a son of Abraham, a member of the tribe of Benjamin.

mnt@Romans:11:2 @ God did not cast off his people whom he foreknew. For do you not know what is said in the Scripture about Elijah? how he pleaded with God against Israel, saying,

mnt@Romans:11:4 @ But what was the answer of God to him? I have reserved for myself seven thousand who have not bowed the knee to Baal.

mnt@Romans:11:5 @ In the same way also at this time there is a remnant chosen by gift of grace.

mnt@Romans:11:6 @ But if it is by grace, it is no longer of works; or else grace is no more grace.

mnt@Romans:11:8 @ According as it is written, God has given them a spirit of slumber, Eyes that they should not see, Ears that they should not hear, unto this day.

mnt@Romans:11:15 @ For if their casting out is the reconciliation of the world to God, what will their restoration be but life out of death?

mnt@Romans:11:16 @ Now if the first-fruits of the dough Abraham and the Patriarchs are holy, so also is the whole mass their descendants. And if the root of a tree Abraham is holy, so also are the branches his descendants.

mnt@Romans:11:17 @ Supposing that some of the branches have been broken off, and you, although you were but a wild olive, have been grafted in among the branches and have become a partaker with them of the fatness of the olive tree, do not glory over the branches;

mnt@Romans:11:19 @ "Branches have been broken off," you say, "that I might be grafted in."

mnt@Romans:11:20 @ True, through their unbelief they were broken off, and by your faith you stand. Do not be puffed up, but fear;

mnt@Romans:11:22 @ Fix your gaze, therefore, on the goodness and the severity of God; towards those who fell, severity, but towards you, Gods goodness, if you continue stedfast in his goodness; otherwise you, too, will be cut off.

mnt@Romans:11:24 @ For if you were cut out of that which is by nature a mere wild olive tree, and have been grafted, contrary to nature, into a fruitful olive tree, how much more shall these, the natural branches, be regrafted into their own olive tree?

mnt@Romans:11:25 @ For I would not, my brothers, have you ignorant of this hidden truth, for fear that you become wise in your own conceits. that a hardening in part has befallen Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles is come in.

mnt@Romans:11:29 @ For no change of purpose can annul Gods free gift and call.

mnt@Romans:11:32 @ For God has locked up all in the prison of disobedience, that upon all he may have mercy.

mnt@Romans:11:33 @ Oh, the depths of the riches, both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unfathomable are his judgments, and how unsearchable his paths!

mnt@Romans:11:34 @ Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counsellor?

mnt@Romans:11:36 @ For of him and through him, and for him, are all things. All glory to him forever and ever! Amen.

mnt@Romans:12:1 @ I entreat you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies to Him as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God. This is your reasonable service of worship.

mnt@Romans:12:2 @ And be not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

mnt@Romans:12:3 @ For, through the grace that was given to me, I tell every man among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but so to think, as to think soberly, according to the measure of faith which God has given him.

mnt@Romans:12:5 @ so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and we are severally members of one another.

mnt@Romans:12:6 @ But we have gifts differing according to the grace which was given to us. He that has the gift of prophecy, let him prophesy according to the proportion of his faith.

mnt@Romans:12:7 @ If it is the gift of administration, let us give ourselves to our service.

mnt@Romans:12:8 @ Let the teacher give himself to his teaching; and he who exhorts others to his exhortation. He who gives, let him do it in singleness of mind. He who rules, let him rule with diligence; and he who shows mercy must be cheerful.

mnt@Romans:12:17 @ Do not pay back evil for evil. Aim to do what is honorable in the eyes of all.

mnt@Romans:13:3 @ For rulers are no terror to good deeds, but to evil. Would you be fearless of the rulers authority? Do what is good, and you will have his praise.

mnt@Romans:13:5 @ Wherefore you must needs be in subjection, not only because of fear, but also for conscience sake.

mnt@Romans:13:6 @ This too, is the reason why you pay taxes; because the authorities are ministers of Gods service, attending continually upon this very thing.

mnt@Romans:13:8 @ Never owe any one anything save the debt of brotherly love; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the Law.

mnt@Romans:13:10 @ Love never wrongs his neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilment of the Law.

mnt@Romans:13:11 @ Carry out these injunctions because you know the crisis that we are in, that now it is high time for you to awake out of sleep; for now is our salvation nearer than when we first believed.

mnt@Romans:13:12 @ The night is far spent; The day is at hand. Let is therefore take off the deeds of darkness, Let us put on the armor of light.

mnt@Romans:13:14 @ But clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, And make no provisions for your earthly nature And the gratification of its lusts.

mnt@Romans:14:1 @ Welcome a man of weak faith, but not for the purpose of deciding doubtful points.

mnt@Romans:14:4 @ Who are you just that judges the household-servant of another? To his own lord he stands or falls. And stand he will, for his Master has power to make him stand.

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

mnt@Romans:14:9 @ For this purpose Christ died and became alive again, that he might be the Lord both of the dead and of the living.

mnt@Romans:14:10 @ But you the abstainer, why do you pass judgment on your brother? Or you again the non-abstainer, why do you despise yours? For we shall all stand before the judgment-seat of God.

mnt@Romans:14:12 @ So then each one of us shall give account of himself to God.

mnt@Romans:14:13 @ So let us no longer pass judgment on one another; rather let this be your judgment, that no one put a stumbling-block in his brothers way, nor any cause of falling.

mnt@Romans:14:15 @ If your brother is continually pained because of your food, you are not conducting yourself any longer in love. Do not, by what you eat, persist in destroying a man for whom Christ died.

mnt@Romans:14:16 @ Therefore do not let what is right, so far as you are concerned, be evil spoken of.

mnt@Romans:14:17 @ For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

mnt@Romans:14:19 @ So then let is eagerly pursue the things that make for peace and the upbuilding of each other.

mnt@Romans:14:20 @ Do not, for the sake of food, be tearing down Gods work. All food indeed is ceremonially clean, but a man is in the wrong if his food proves a stumbling-block.

mnt@Romans:14:22 @ Have you faith? Keep it to yourself as in the presence of God. He is a happy man who does not condemn himself in that which he approves.

mnt@Romans:15:1 @ Now we who are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to seek our own pleasure.

mnt@Romans:15:2 @ Let each one of us try to make his neighbor happy for his good, unto his upbuilding.

mnt@Romans:15:3 @ For even Christ pleased not himself; but as it is written, The reproaches of those who were reproaching thee fell upon me.

mnt@Romans:15:4 @ For everything that was written of old has been written for our instruction, that through patience, and through the comfort of the Scriptures, we might have hope.

mnt@Romans:15:5 @ Now the God of patience and of comfort grant you to be in full sympathy with one another, in accordance with the example of Jesus Christ;

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

mnt@Romans:15:7 @ Wherefore always receive one another into fellowship, to the glory of God, even as Christ also received you.

mnt@Romans:15:8 @ For I say that Christ has been made a minister of the Circumcision the people of Israel, in vindication of Gods truth, so that he may confirm the promises given to our forefathers;

mnt@Romans:15:9 @ and so that the Gentiles also should praise God for his mercy, as it is written, Therefore I will offer praise to thee among the Gentiles, And sing to thy name.

mnt@Romans:15:12 @ Or again, as Isaiah says. There shall be the root of Jesse, And he that arises to rule over the Gentiles; On him shall the Gentiles hope.

mnt@Romans:15:13 @ Now the God of all hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may be overflowing with hope in the power of the Holy Spirit.

mnt@Romans:15:14 @ And I myself also am confident regarding you, my brothers, that you yourselves are already full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, and well able to give advice to one another.

mnt@Romans:15:15 @ Still I have written unto you the more boldly, in part, by way of reminding you, because of that gift of grace which God bestowed upon me, in making me a priest of Jesus Christ unto the Gentiles.

mnt@Romans:15:16 @ I act as priest of the gospel of God; so that the Gentiles, when offered before him, may be an acceptable sacrifice, because consecrated by the Holy Spirit.

mnt@Romans:15:17 @ I have then my boast in Christ Jesus concerning the things of God.

mnt@Romans:15:18 @ For I will not dare to speak of any thing except that which Christ has done through me to bring the Gentiles to obedience by word and deed,

mnt@Romans:15:19 @ through the might of signs and wonders, in the power of the Holy Spirit. So that beginning at Jerusalem and its environs, I have proclaimed without reserve the gospel of Christ, even as far as Illyricum.

mnt@Romans:15:21 @ But, as Scripture says, He shall be seen by those to whom no news about him ever came, And those who have never heard of him shall understand.

mnt@Romans:15:26 @ For it has been the good pleasure of Macedonia and Achaia to make an offering for the poor among the saints at Jerusalem.

mnt@Romans:15:27 @ Yes, it has been made their good pleasure, and their debt, too. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual riches, they owe it to them also to minister to them the Jews in worldly goods.

mnt@Romans:15:28 @ When, therefore, I have settled this, and have secured to them the poor at Jerusalem the fruit of this collection, I shall come on by you into Spain.

mnt@Romans:15:29 @ And I know that when I come to you, I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of Christ.

mnt@Romans:15:32 @ and that I may come to you in joy, by the will of God, and find rest together with you.

mnt@Romans:15:33 @ The God of peace be with you all! Amen.

mnt@Romans:16:1 @ I commend to you our sister Phoebe, who is a minister of the church at Cenchrae.

mnt@Romans:16:2 @ I beg you to give her a Christian welcome, as the saints should; and to assist her in any matter in which she may have need of you. For she herself has been made an overseer to many people, including myself.

mnt@Romans:16:3 @ Salute Priscilla and Aquila, my fellow laborers in the cause of Jesus Christ,

mnt@Romans:16:10 @ Salute Apellas, tested and tried in Christ, and the household of Aristobulus,

mnt@Romans:16:11 @ and Herodion, my kinsman. Salute the believing members of the household of Narcissus.

mnt@Romans:16:16 @ Salute one another with a holy kiss. All the churches of Christ salute you.

mnt@Romans:16:17 @ I exhort you, brothers, to keep watch of those who are causing the divisions among you, and occasions of stumbling, contrary to the teaching which you have learned.

mnt@Romans:16:18 @ Turn away from them. For men of that stamp are not the slaves of Christ, but are slaves to their own appetites. By their smooth and fair speech they beguile the hearts of the innocent.

mnt@Romans:16:19 @ I say this, for the tidings of your obedience have been told throughout the world. On your own behalf, then, I rejoice; but I want you to be wise unto the good, but innocents in evil.

mnt@Romans:16:20 @ The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

mnt@Romans:16:23 @ Gaius, my host, and the host of the church, salutes you. Erastus, the treasurer of the city, salutes you, and so does brother Quartus.

mnt@Romans:16:24 @ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all!

mnt@Romans:16:25 @ Now I commend you to Him who is able to keep you stedfast, according to my gospel, and the proclamation of Jesus Christ, whereby is unveiled the secret truth which was kept secret through immemorial ages,

mnt@Romans:16:26 @ but now has been brought to light, and by command of the eternal God made known to the Gentiles by the scriptures of the Prophets, so that the Gentiles might hold obedience of the faith.

mnt@1Corinthians:1:1 @ Paul, called by the will of God to be an apostle of Jesus Christ, and Sosthenes, his brother.

mnt@1Corinthians:1:2 @ to the Church of God at Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, together with all, wherever they are, who call upon the name of the Lord Jesus.

mnt@1Corinthians:1:4 @ I am always thanking God on your behalf, for the grace of God bestowed on you in Christ Jesus;

mnt@1Corinthians:1:7 @ so that you lack no divine gift, while you are waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ.

mnt@1Corinthians:1:8 @ He will also keep you perfectly stedfast unto the end, so that you will be unreprovable in the Day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

mnt@1Corinthians:1:10 @ Now I beg you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to speak in accord, all of you, and to have no divisions among you, but to be knit together in a common mind and temper.

mnt@1Corinthians:1:12 @ I mean by this that one of you says, "I am a follower of Paul"; another, "I of Apollos"; another, "I of Cephas"; another, "I of Christ."

mnt@1Corinthians:1:13 @ Has Christ been divided? Paul, was he crucified for you? or was it into the name of Paul that you were baptized?

mnt@1Corinthians:1:14 @ I am thankful to God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius,

mnt@1Corinthians:1:16 @ Yes, I did baptize the house of Stephanas also, but I do not think I baptized any one else.

mnt@1Corinthians:1:17 @ For Christ did not think I baptized any one else. For Christ did not send me forth to baptize, but to proclaim the gospel; and that not in philosophic words, lest the Cross of Christ should be made an empty thing.

mnt@1Corinthians:1:18 @ For the message of the Cross is indeed for those on their way to destruction, foolishness; but for us who are on our way to salvation it is the power of God.

mnt@1Corinthians:1:19 @ For thus it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the philosophers, And the prudence of the prudent will I confound.

mnt@1Corinthians:1:20 @ Sage, rabbi, skeptic of this present age - where are they all? Has not God made foolish the philosophy of the world?

mnt@1Corinthians:1:21 @ For when, in the wisdom of God, the world by its philosophy knew not God, the world by its philosophy knew not God, it pleased God, by the foolishness of preaching, to save those who believe.

mnt@1Corinthians:1:24 @ but to those who are the called, whether Jews or Greeks, Christ, the power of God and the wisdom of God.

mnt@1Corinthians:1:25 @ For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

mnt@1Corinthians:1:26 @ For consider your own calling, brothers, that not many wise in earthly wisdom, not many powerful, not many of noble birth, have been called.

mnt@1Corinthians:1:30 @ It is of him that you are in Christ Jesus, whom God made unto us wisdom and righteousness and sanctification and redemption,

mnt@1Corinthians:2:1 @ And when I came to you, brothers, I came not to proclaim Gods great secret purpose in fine language of philosophy;

mnt@1Corinthians:2:4 @ My message and my preaching were not in the persuasive language of philosophy, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power;

mnt@1Corinthians:2:5 @ in order that your faith should rest, not on human philosophy, but on the power of God.

mnt@1Corinthians:2:6 @ Notwithstanding, among those who are mature I do teach philosophy; though not the philosophy of the present age, nor of its rulers who are coming to nought.

mnt@1Corinthians:2:8 @ None of the rulers of the present age understands it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of Glory.

mnt@1Corinthians:2:10 @ Yet God has unveiled them to us by his Spirit. For the Spirit fathoms everything, even the abysmal depths of God.

mnt@1Corinthians:2:11 @ For what man knows the depths of man except the mans own inner Spirit? Even so, also, the Spirit of God knows the deeps profound of God.

mnt@1Corinthians:2:12 @ But we have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which comes forth from God, that we may realize the blessings freely given us by God.

mnt@1Corinthians:2:13 @ Of these high themes we speak in words not taught by human philosophy, but by the Spirit; interpreting spiritual things to spiritual men.

mnt@1Corinthians:2:14 @ The unspiritual man rejects the teachings of Gods Spirit; for him it is folly. He cannot understand it, for it is spiritually discerned,

mnt@1Corinthians:2:16 @ For what man understands the mind of the Lord, that he should instruct Him?

mnt@1Corinthians:3:1 @ As for me, brothers, I could not talk to you as spiritual men, but as to creatures of flesh, mere babes in Christ.

mnt@1Corinthians:3:10 @ According to the grace of God vouchsafed me, like a skillful master- builder, I have laid a foundation; but another will be building upon it. Let each take heed how he builds on it.

mnt@1Corinthians:3:13 @ The Day will disclose it, for it dawns in fire, and the fire will test each mans work, of what quality it is.

mnt@1Corinthians:3:16 @ Do you not know what you are Gods sanctuary, and that the Spirit of God is dwelling within you?

mnt@1Corinthians:3:17 @ If any one tear down Gods sanctuary, God will tear him down; for the sanctuary of God is holy, and that is what you are.

mnt@1Corinthians:3:18 @ Let no one deceive himself. If any one of you supposes that he is wise in the philosophy of the present age, let him become foolish, so that he may be wise.

mnt@1Corinthians:3:19 @ For the philosophy of this world is foolishness in Gods sight. It is written, He snares the wise in their own craftiness,

mnt@1Corinthians:3:20 @ and again, The Lord knows the reasonings of the wise, how futile they are.

mnt@1Corinthians:4:1 @ Let any man look upon us as servants of Christ, and stewards of the secret truths of God.

mnt@1Corinthians:4:2 @ Now it is required of stewards, that a man be found faithful.

mnt@1Corinthians:4:5 @ So make no hasty judgment until the Lord come, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make plain the purpose of mens hearts. Then each mans due praise will come to him from God.

mnt@1Corinthians:4:6 @ Now these things, brothers, I have applied in a figure to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that in us you might learn not to go beyond what is written; that none of you be puffed up for the one, against the other.

mnt@1Corinthians:4:9 @ But it seems to me that God has exhibited us apostles, last of all, like men doomed to death; for we are made a spectacle to the whole world, both to men and to angels.

mnt@1Corinthians:4:17 @ With this in mind I have sent Timothy to you. He is my dear and faithful son in the Lord, who will remind you of my ways in Christ; the manner in which I ever teach everywhere in every church.

mnt@1Corinthians:4:19 @ But come to you I will, and that soon, if it please the Lord, and then I shall learn not the talk of these boasters, but their power.

mnt@1Corinthians:4:20 @ For the kingdom of God is not in talk, but in power.

mnt@1Corinthians:5:2 @ Yet you are puffed up instead of mourning and removing from among you the man who has done this thing.

mnt@1Corinthians:5:3 @ For I, although absent in body, yet present in spirit, have already passed sentence, by the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ, on him who has done this thing.

mnt@1Corinthians:5:4 @ When you are gathered together, and my spirit is with you together with the power of our Lord Jesus,

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

mnt@1Corinthians:5:7 @ Then get rid of the old leaven, so that you may be like a new lump, as you are now unleavened. For our Paschal Lamb has already been sacrificed, Christ himself.

mnt@1Corinthians:5:8 @ So let us keep the unending feast, not with any old leaven, neither with leaven of malice and vice, but with unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

mnt@1Corinthians:5:12 @ What have I to do with the judging of outsiders? Must not you judge those who are within the church, while God judges outsiders?

mnt@1Corinthians:6:1 @ Dare any one of you who has a grievance against his neighbor go to law before heathen judges, instead of before the saints?

mnt@1Corinthians:6:3 @ Do you not know that we are to try angels? How much more, then, the affairs of life.

mnt@1Corinthians:6:5 @ I say this to shame you. Is it so that there is not among you a single wise man, capable of deciding between a man and his brother?

mnt@1Corinthians:6:9 @ Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. None who are immoral, or idolaters, or adulterers, or catamites, or sodomites,

mnt@1Corinthians:6:10 @ or thieves, or avaricious men, or drunkards, or foul-mouthed men, or extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.

mnt@1Corinthians:6:11 @ Such were some of you, but you have washed away your stains, you have been consecrated, you have been justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and in the Spirit of our God.

mnt@1Corinthians:6:12 @ "All things are lawful for me"? Yes, but not all things are good for me. "All things are lawful for me"? Yes, but I will not let myself be enslaved by the power of any.

mnt@1Corinthians:6:15 @ You know, do you not, that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them members of a harlot? God forbid!

mnt@1Corinthians:7:5 @ Do not refuse one another, unless it is only temporary and by mutual consent, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again, lest through your lack of self-control Satan begin to tempt you to sin.

mnt@1Corinthians:7:25 @ I have no command from the Lord to give you concerning unmarried women; but I give you my opinion, and it is that of a man who, through the Lords mercy, is deserving of your confidence.

mnt@1Corinthians:7:26 @ I think then, that in view of the time of suffering now imminent, it is best for a man to remain as he is.

mnt@1Corinthians:7:31 @ and those who use the world as though using it sparingly. For the present phase of the world is passing away.

mnt@1Corinthians:7:36 @ If, however, a father feels that he is not treating his virgin daughter in a seemly manner, in leaving her unmarried beyond the flower of her age, and so the matter is urgent, let him do what she desires; he commits no sin. Let the marriage take place.

mnt@1Corinthians:8:1 @ Now in regard to food which has been offered to idols, we are sure of course that "we all have knowledge." But knowledge puffs up, while love builds up.

mnt@1Corinthians:8:4 @ Now as to eating food that has been offered to idols, we know well that an idol has no real existence in the universe, and that there is no God but One.

mnt@1Corinthians:8:5 @ For though there be so-called "gods," celestial of terrestrial, as indeed there are gods many and lords many,

mnt@1Corinthians:8:7 @ But that "knowledge" is not possessed by all; but some, accustomed until now to the idol, eat food as that which has actually been offered to an idol, and so their conscience, being still weak, is defiled.

mnt@1Corinthians:8:9 @ But see to it lest this right of yours become a stumbling-block to the weak.

mnt@1Corinthians:8:10 @ For if any one should see you, the possessor of "knowledge," reclining at table in an idols temple, would not his conscience, if he were weak, be emboldened to eat things sacrificed to idols?

mnt@1Corinthians:9:2 @ Even if I am not an apostle to others, to you at least I am; for you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.

mnt@1Corinthians:9:5 @ Have I no right to take a believing wife with me on my journey, as the rest of the apostles and the Lords brothers and Peter do?

mnt@1Corinthians:9:9 @ Yea, in the Law of Moses it is written, Thou shalt not muzzle an ox while he is treading out the grain.

mnt@1Corinthians:9:10 @ Is it the oxen that God is thinking about, or is it really said for our sakes? It was written for us; because the plowman ought to plow in hope, and the thresher in hope of getting a share of the crop.

mnt@1Corinthians:9:11 @ If I have sown for you the seeds of spiritual good, is it a great thing if I reap from you temporal goods?

mnt@1Corinthians:9:12 @ If others share this authority over you, do not I far more? Yet I have not availed myself of it, but am patiently enduring; so that I may not in any way hinder the progress of Christs gospel.

mnt@1Corinthians:9:13 @ You know, do you not, that those who minister in the temple, and those who serve at the altar, get their portion of the sacrifices?

mnt@1Corinthians:9:15 @ But for my part, I have never availed myself of any of these rights. I do not say this to bring it about in my own case. I would rather die than let any one make void this boast of mine.

mnt@1Corinthians:9:16 @ Proclaiming the gospel gives me no ground of boasting; for necessity is laid upon me; woe is me if I preach not the gospel.

mnt@1Corinthians:9:17 @ For if I do this of my own accord, I have my pay; but if unwilling, I have at least discharged my stewardship.

mnt@1Corinthians:9:18 @ What then is my wage? This, that I can make the gospel free where I carry it; and that I can refrain from using my rights as a preacher of the gospel.

mnt@1Corinthians:10:3 @ They all ate of the same spiritual bread,

mnt@1Corinthians:10:5 @ But in most of them God was not well pleased, for they were laid low in the desert.

mnt@1Corinthians:10:7 @ And you must not be idolaters like some of them. as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, And they rose up for idol dances.

mnt@1Corinthians:10:8 @ Nor must we act licentiously, as some of them did, and fell in a single day, twenty-three thousand of them.

mnt@1Corinthians:10:9 @ Neither must we presume upon the patience of our Lord, as some of them presumed, and were destroyed by the serpents;

mnt@1Corinthians:10:10 @ nor murmur, as some of them did, and were destroyed by the Destroying Angel.

mnt@1Corinthians:10:11 @ Now these things were happening to them typically, but were written down for our admonition who stand at the meeting of the ages.

mnt@1Corinthians:10:13 @ No temptation has overtaken you that is beyond mans power; but God is faithful, who will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear, but will, with every temptation, provide the way of escape also, so that you may be able to withstand.

mnt@1Corinthians:10:15 @ I am speaking to men of sense; do you yourselves judge what I say.

mnt@1Corinthians:10:16 @ The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a common participation in the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not a common participation in the body of Christ?

mnt@1Corinthians:10:19 @ What then shall we say? that an offering to an idol is anything? or that an idol is really anything?

mnt@1Corinthians:10:21 @ You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and also the cup of demons; you cannot be partakers in the Lords table and in the table of demons.

mnt@1Corinthians:10:28 @ But if any one tells you, "This food has been offered in sacrifice," do not eat it, for the sake of him who told you,

mnt@1Corinthians:10:29 @ and for your conscience sake - his conscience, not your own. "But," you may object, "why should my freedom be decided upon anothers scruples of conscience?

mnt@1Corinthians:10:31 @ Because whether you are eating or whether you are drinking, you are to do it all for the glory of God.

mnt@1Corinthians:10:32 @ Do not be a cause of stumbling either to Jews of to Gentiles, or to the church of God.

mnt@1Corinthians:10:33 @ For so I also try to please all men in every way, not by seeking my own good, but the good of the many, that they may be saved.

mnt@1Corinthians:11:1 @ Be imitators of me, as I am an imitator of Christ.

mnt@1Corinthians:11:3 @ But I wish you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, and of a wife her husband is head; and that God is head of Christ.

mnt@1Corinthians:11:6 @ If a woman does not wear a veil, let her also cut off her hair; now if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, let her be veiled.

mnt@1Corinthians:11:7 @ A man, indeed, ought not to have his head veiled, for he is an image and glory of God; but woman is a glory of man.

mnt@1Corinthians:11:10 @ For this reason the woman ought to have authority over her head, because of her guardian angels.

mnt@1Corinthians:11:11 @ However, in the Lord neither is woman independent of man, nor is man independent of woman;

mnt@1Corinthians:11:12 @ for just as the woman was made from the man, so also is the man born of the woman, while they both come from God.

mnt@1Corinthians:11:13 @ Judge of this for your own selves. It is fitting that a woman should pray to God with her head unveiled.

mnt@1Corinthians:11:15 @ but it is womans glory, because her hair has been given her instead of a veil.

mnt@1Corinthians:11:16 @ If, however, any one is inclined to be disputatious regarding such a custom, let him know that neither I nor the churches of God hold to such a custom.

mnt@1Corinthians:11:20 @ Again, when you meet together, there is no true eating of the Lords Supper;

mnt@1Corinthians:11:21 @ for each one of you begins to eat his own supper; one goes hungry, while another gets drunk.

mnt@1Corinthians:11:22 @ What! Have you no houses in which to eat or drink? or do you wish to show your contempt for the church of God, and to shame those who have no homes to eat in? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you? In this I certainly do not praise you.

mnt@1Corinthians:11:24 @ and when he had given thanks, he broke it, saying, "This is my body, broken for you; this do in memory of me."

mnt@1Corinthians:11:25 @ In the same way also, he took the cup after supper, saying. "This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in memory of me."

mnt@1Corinthians:11:26 @ For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you are proclaiming your Lords death until he come.

mnt@1Corinthians:11:27 @ So he that eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord unworthy must answer for a sin against the body and blood of the Lord.

mnt@1Corinthians:11:28 @ Let each man scrutinize himself, and thus let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup.

mnt@1Corinthians:12:3 @ Wherefore I want you to understand that no one who speaks in the Spirit of God says, "Jesus is accursed," and no one can say, "Jesus is Lord," except in the Holy Spirit.

mnt@1Corinthians:12:4 @ Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit;

mnt@1Corinthians:12:5 @ there are various forms of service, and the same Lord;

mnt@1Corinthians:12:6 @ and varieties of work, and the same God, who works in all.

mnt@1Corinthians:12:7 @ Now to each man has been given his manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.

mnt@1Corinthians:12:8 @ For to one man by the Spirit has been given a word of wisdom, to another a word of insight by the same Spirit;

mnt@1Corinthians:12:9 @ to one man by the same Spirit is given faith, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit;

mnt@1Corinthians:12:10 @ to another the powers which work miracles, to another prophecy, to another the discernment of spirits; to another varieties of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues.

mnt@1Corinthians:12:12 @ For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, although they be many, are one body; so also is Christ.

mnt@1Corinthians:12:13 @ And we can see this, for in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jew or Gentile, whether slave or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit.

mnt@1Corinthians:12:15 @ If the foot should say, "Because I am a hand, I am not part a part the body," would it not indeed be a part of the body?

mnt@1Corinthians:12:16 @ Or if the ear should say, "Because I am not an eye, I am not a part of the body," would it be any less a part of the body?

mnt@1Corinthians:12:18 @ But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body as it has pleased him.

mnt@1Corinthians:12:21 @ And the eye cannot say to the hand, "I have no need of you". nor again of head to the feet, "I have no need for you."

mnt@1Corinthians:12:22 @ On the contrary, we need those members of the body which seem to be weaker;

mnt@1Corinthians:12:23 @ upon those parts of the body which we esteem less honorable, we bestow more abundant honor, and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness.

mnt@1Corinthians:12:27 @ Now you are the body of Christ, and individually members of it.

mnt@1Corinthians:12:28 @ And God has appointed those in the church to be first of all apostles, second, prophets, third, teachers. then workers of miracles, healers, helpers, administrators, users of various kinds of "tongues."

mnt@1Corinthians:12:29 @ Are all apostles? Are all prophets? teachers? workers of miracles?

mnt@1Corinthians:12:30 @ Have all gifts of healing? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret?

mnt@1Corinthians:13:1 @ Though I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have no love, I am become a clanging brass, or a clashing cymbal.

mnt@1Corinthians:13:2 @ Though I have the gift of prophecy and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

mnt@1Corinthians:13:13 @ Faith, Hope, Love endure - these three; but the greatest of these is Love.

mnt@1Corinthians:14:11 @ If then I do not know the force of expression, I shall seem a barbarian to the one who uses it, and he will seem a barbarian to me.

mnt@1Corinthians:14:12 @ So also in your case, since you are ambitious for spiritual gifts, seek to excel in them for the upbuilding of the church.

mnt@1Corinthians:14:16 @ For if you in your spirit bless God, how shall he who fills the place of the unlearned say the Amen to your thanksgiving, when he does not know what you are talking about?

mnt@1Corinthians:14:17 @ You on the one hand offer a good thanksgiving, but the other is not built up.

mnt@1Corinthians:14:21 @ In the Law it is written. With men of other tongues, and by the lips of strangers, will I speak to this people, and even then they will not listen to me, says the Lord.

mnt@1Corinthians:14:22 @ So then the gift of tongues is for a sign, not to believers, but to unbelievers; but prophecy is not for unbelievers, but for those who believe.

mnt@1Corinthians:14:25 @ and the secret depths of his heart are laid open. So he will fall upon his face and worship God, saying, "Of a truth, God is with you."

mnt@1Corinthians:14:32 @ The spirits of prophets are subject to prophets,

mnt@1Corinthians:14:33 @ for God is not a God of confusion, but of peace. This custom prevails in all the churches of the saints.

mnt@1Corinthians:14:34 @ "In your congregation" you write, "as in all the churches of the saints, let the women keep silence in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak. On the contrary let them be subordinate, as also says the law.

mnt@1Corinthians:14:36 @ What, was it from you that the word of God went forth, or to you only did it come?

mnt@1Corinthians:14:37 @ If any one thinks himself a prophet or spiritual, let him recognize that what I am now writing you is a command of the Lord.

mnt@1Corinthians:14:39 @ So, my brothers, be ambitious for the gift of prophecy, and speak not against the gifts of tongues.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:1 @ Now I am calling to your remembrance, brothers, the gospel which I preached to you, which you also received, and on which you have taken your stand,;47 The first man is of the earth, earthly; the second Man is of heaven.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:6 @ Afterward he was seen at one time by more than five hundred brethren, most of whom are still alive, but some are fallen asleep.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:8 @ and last of all, as by one born out of due time, he was seen by me also.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:9 @ For I am the least of the apostles, I who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:10 @ But by the grace of God I am what I am, and that grace of his, bestowed upon me, did not prove ineffectual. I labored more abundantly than all the rest, yet not I, but by the grace of God that is with me.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:12 @ If then, we are preaching Christ, that he rose from the dead, how are some of you saying that there is no resurrection from the dead?

mnt@1Corinthians:15:15 @ More than that, we are detected in bearing false witness against God; because we testified of God that he raised Christ from the dead, whom he did not raise, if indeed the dead rise not.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:19 @ If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all mankind most pitiable.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:20 @ But now, now, Christ is risen from the dead, the first-fruit of those who have fallen asleep.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:32 @ If after the manner of men I have fought with wild beasts at Ephesus, what good does it do me? If the dead do not rise, Let us eat and drink, For we shall be dead tomorrow.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:34 @ Wake up, do justly, cease from sin; for I say to your shame that some of you have no acquaintance with God.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:37 @ And when you sow the seed you are not sowing the body that it will become, but bare grain, of wheat perhaps, or some other grain.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:38 @ But God gives it what body he pleases, and to each kind of seed its own body.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:39 @ All flesh is not the same flesh; there is human flesh, another of fishes of animals, another of birds, another of fishes.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:40 @ There are both celestial bodies and bodies terrestrial; but the splendor of the celestial is one thing, and the splendor of the terrestrial is another.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:41 @ There is one glory of the sun, another of the moon, and another of the stars; for star differs from star in glory.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:42 @ So it is in the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption, It is raised in incorruption;

mnt@1Corinthians:15:48 @ Like him who was of earth, are the earthy; and like Him who is of heaven, are the heavenly;

mnt@1Corinthians:15:49 @ As we have borne the likeness of him who was of earth, so also let us bear the likeness of Him who is of heaven.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:50 @ I tell you this, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor can corruption inherit incorruption.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:52 @ in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, when the last trumpet sounds. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised, incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:54 @ And when this mortal has been clothed with immortality, then will the words of Scripture come to pass, Death has been swallowed up in victory.

mnt@1Corinthians:15:56 @ Now the sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the Law.

mnt@1Corinthians:16:1 @ Now concerning the offering for the saints, you also are to do as I directed the church of Galatia.

mnt@1Corinthians:16:2 @ On the first day of each week let each of you put aside something, keeping it in store as he may prosper, so that when I come there may be no collections going on.

mnt@1Corinthians:16:15 @ I beg you this, my brothers - you know the household of Stephanus, that they were the first-fruits of Achaia, and that they devoted themselves to the service of the saints -

mnt@1Corinthians:16:18 @ They refresh my spirit as they do yours. So cultivate the acquaintance of such men.

mnt@1Corinthians:16:19 @ The churches of Asia greet you. Aquila and Priscilla (Prisca), with the church that meets in their house, greet you heartily in the Lord.

mnt@1Corinthians:16:21 @ The greeting of me, Paul, with my own hand.

mnt@1Corinthians:16:23 @ The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.

mnt@2Corinthians:1:1 @ To the Church of God which is in Corinth, and to all the saints throughout Greece. from Paul, by Gods will an apostle of Christ, and from brother Timothy.

mnt@2Corinthians:1:3 @ Thanks be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort,

mnt@2Corinthians:1:5 @ For just as I have more than my share in the sufferings of the Christ, so also through the Christ I have more than my share of comfort.

mnt@2Corinthians:1:8 @ Now, brothers, I want you to know about the troubles which befell me in Asia; how I was burdened altogether beyond my strength, so that I renounced all hope even of life itself.

mnt@2Corinthians:1:9 @ Indeed, I had in myself, and still have, the sentence of death, in order that I might not rely on myself, but on God who raises the dead to life.

mnt@2Corinthians:1:11 @ while all of you also are helping me by your prayers; so that from many lips thanksgiving may rise on my behalf for the blessings vouchsafed to me through the intercessions of many.

mnt@2Corinthians:1:12 @ For this is my proud boast, the testimony of my conscience, that it was in holiness and with pure motives before God, not in worldly wisdom, but in the grace of God, that I have conducted myself in the world, and above all in my relations with you.

mnt@2Corinthians:1:14 @ as some indeed did recognize in part at last, that I am your cause of boasting, just as you will be mine on the Day of Jesus our Lord.

mnt@2Corinthians:1:19 @ For Jesus Christ, Son of God, who was proclaimed among you by us, that is, by Silvanus and Timothy and me, was not wavering between "Yes" and "No," but in him is the everlasting "Yes."

mnt@2Corinthians:1:20 @ For however many are the promises of God, in him they are "Yes." Therefore also through him let the Amen be said by our voices to the glory of God.

mnt@2Corinthians:1:22 @ He has also set his seal upon me, and given me the pledge of his Spirit in my heart.

mnt@2Corinthians:2:3 @ And for this very reason I wrote you, that I might not come only to be grieved by those who ought to give me joy; and because I trusted in you all, that my joy is the joy of all of you.

mnt@2Corinthians:2:4 @ For I wrote to you out of much affliction and anguish of heart, through many tears; not to pain you, but to convince you of my love, my abundant love for you.

mnt@2Corinthians:2:5 @ As to him who has been, and now is, causing pain, it is not I whom he has pained, but all of you - at least some of you (not to overstate the case).

mnt@2Corinthians:2:6 @ Sufficient for the offender is the punishment imposed by the majority;

mnt@2Corinthians:2:7 @ so that now you ought rather to forgive and comfort him, lest he should be overwhelmed by the excess of his grief.

mnt@2Corinthians:2:10 @ If you forgive the man, I forgive him, too; for whatever I have forgiven has been forgiven in the presence of Christ,

mnt@2Corinthians:2:11 @ for your sakes, that I may not be overreached by Satan, for I am not ignorant of his devices.

mnt@2Corinthians:2:12 @ Now when I came to Troas to preach the gospel of Christ, although a door was opened to me in the Lord,

mnt@2Corinthians:2:13 @ I could get no peace of mind because I failed to find Titus, my brother. So I bade them good-bye and started off for Macedonia.

mnt@2Corinthians:2:14 @ But thanks be to God, who in every place is leading me in the train of Christs triumph, and is making manifest through me the knowledge of him, an odor of incense everywhere.

mnt@2Corinthians:2:16 @ to these latter an odor of death to death, to the former, of life to life. For such service as this, who is sufficient?

mnt@2Corinthians:2:17 @ I am; for I am not like most, trafficking in the word of God, but rather from a sincere heart, like a man of God, I speak in Christ, in the very presence of God.

mnt@2Corinthians:3:1 @ Am I beginning again to "recommend" myself? Or do I need, as some do, letters of commendation either to you or from you?

mnt@2Corinthians:3:3 @ Since all can see that you are a letter of Christ transcribed by men, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone, but on human hearts as tablets.

mnt@2Corinthians:3:6 @ It is he who has also made me sufficient as a minister of a new covenant; not of a letter but of a spirit; for the letter kills, but the spirit makes alive.

mnt@2Corinthians:3:7 @ If, however, the administration of death, written with letters and engraved on stones, began in glory, so that the children of Israel could not gaze steadily on the face of Moses, because of the glory of his face - a glory even then fading -

mnt@2Corinthians:3:8 @ how much more shall the ministry of the Spirit abide in glory?

mnt@2Corinthians:3:9 @ For if the ministry of condemnation had glory, far more is the ministry of righteousness radiant in glory.

mnt@2Corinthians:3:10 @ Indeed that which once was glorious has lost its glory, because of the glory which surpasses it.

mnt@2Corinthians:3:12 @ Therefore, cherishing such a hope, I use great freedom of speech.

mnt@2Corinthians:3:13 @ I do not do as Moses did, who used to cover his face with a veil to keep the children of Israel from beholding the passing of a fading glory.

mnt@2Corinthians:3:14 @ Nay, their minds were made dull; for to this very day, at the public reading of the Old Testament, the same veil rests thereon, because it is not revealed to them that in Christ the veil is taken away.

mnt@2Corinthians:3:17 @ (The Lord means the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord abides there is freedom.)

mnt@2Corinthians:3:18 @ And we all, with unveiled faces, reflecting like a mirror the glory of the Lord, are ourselves continually being transformed into the same likeness, from glory to glory, as by the Lord, the Spirit.

mnt@2Corinthians:4:1 @ So then, as I have this ministry because of Gods mercy to me, I do not lose heart.

mnt@2Corinthians:4:2 @ I have renounced the hidden things of shame, not spending my life in craftiness, nor adulterating the word of God; but setting forth the truth openly, I strive to commend myself to every mans conscience as in the sight of God.

mnt@2Corinthians:4:4 @ Among them the god of this age has blinded the understanding of the unbelieving so that the sunshine of the gospel of God, should not dawn upon them.

mnt@2Corinthians:4:6 @ For God who said, "Out of darkness light shall shine," is he who has shone in my heart, that the sunrise of the knowledge of God may shine forth in the face of Christ.

mnt@2Corinthians:4:7 @ But I hold this treasure in an earthen vessel, in order that the surpassing greatness of the power may be from God, and not from myself.

mnt@2Corinthians:4:10 @ Wherever I go, I am always carrying about in my body the dying of Jesus, in order that the life also of Jesus may be made manifest in this body of mine.

mnt@2Corinthians:4:11 @ For, alive though I am, I am always given over to death for the sake of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may shine forth in my dying flesh.

mnt@2Corinthians:4:13 @ But having the same spirit of faith of which it is written, I believed, and therefore have spoken, I also believe and so I speak.

mnt@2Corinthians:4:15 @ For everything is for your sakes, so that more abundant grace, because of the thanksgiving of many voices, might overflow to the glory of God.

mnt@2Corinthians:4:17 @ For my light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working out for me a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory,

mnt@2Corinthians:5:1 @ For I know, if this earthly tent of mine were struck, I have a mansion built by God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

mnt@2Corinthians:5:2 @ For in this tent I am groaning, earnestly longing to be under the cover of my heavenly habitation; if so be that being so covered,

mnt@2Corinthians:5:4 @ For in this tent of mine I am groaning in deep trouble; not that I wish to be unclothed, but to be clothed upon, that what is mortal may be swallowed up in life.

mnt@2Corinthians:5:6 @ Therefore I am always of good courage, because I well know that while I am at home in the body, I am in banishment from the Lord,

mnt@2Corinthians:5:10 @ For we must all be made manifest, in our true characters, before the Judgment-seat of Christ; so that each one may receive according to that which he has done in his body, whether good or evil.

mnt@2Corinthians:5:11 @ So, because I know the fear of God, I "persuade men." What I am is manifest to God, and I hope manifest also to your conscience.

mnt@2Corinthians:5:12 @ I am not "commending myself to you again," but I am giving you an occasion of boasting on my behalf, so that you may have an answer ready for those who boast in externals, and not in the heart.

mnt@2Corinthians:5:13 @ For if I was "beside myself," it was to God; of if I am now "of sound mind," it is for you.

mnt@2Corinthians:5:14 @ For the love of Christ overmasters me; because I thus judge that if One has died for all, then all have died;

mnt@2Corinthians:5:18 @ And all this is from God, who through Christ reconciled me to himself, and gave me the ministry of reconciliation;

mnt@2Corinthians:5:19 @ how that God was in Christ reconciling a world to himself, not reckoning to men their trespasses; and that to me he has entrusted the message of that reconciliation.

mnt@2Corinthians:5:21 @ Him who knew no sin, in our behalf he has made to be sin; so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

mnt@2Corinthians:6:1 @ As a worker with him I beseech you not to receive the grace of God in vain.

mnt@2Corinthians:6:2 @ For he said. In an acceptable time have I heard thee, And in the day of salvation have I succored thee. Behold, now is the acceptable time! behold, now is the day of salvation!

mnt@2Corinthians:6:3 @ I am giving no one a cause of stumbling in order that my ministry may not be discredited;

mnt@2Corinthians:6:7 @ by a true teaching and an energy divine; by the weapons of righteousness, for attack or for defense,

mnt@2Corinthians:6:16 @ And what compact has Gods temple with idols? For we are a temple of the living God, as he has said. I will dwell among them, and walk about among them; I will be their God, and they will be my people.

mnt@2Corinthians:7:1 @ As these promises are ours, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from every defilement of body and of spirit, and perfect our holiness in the fear of God.

mnt@2Corinthians:7:4 @ Great is my faith in you; great is my cheerful assurance in you. I am filled with comfort; in spite of all my troubles, my heart is overflowing with joy.

mnt@2Corinthians:7:6 @ But the God who comforts the down-hearted comforted me by the coming of Titus,

mnt@2Corinthians:7:7 @ and not alone by his coming, but also by the comfort you had been to him. For he told me of your eager longing, of your penitence, and of your zeal on my behalf, so that I was happier still.

mnt@2Corinthians:7:11 @ Note the results of this pain which God permitted; what earnestness it has called forth in you, what explanations, what indignation, what alarm, what longing, what fervor, what punishment of wrong. In every way you have proved yourselves innocent in the matter.

mnt@2Corinthians:7:12 @ So then, even if I did write to you, it was not for the sake of the wrong-doer, or of him who had been wronged, but to make clear to yourselves in the sight of God your earnest care for me.

mnt@2Corinthians:7:13 @ This is what comforts me. In addition to this comfort of mine, I have been made still happier by the happiness of Titus; because his spirit was refreshed by you all.

mnt@2Corinthians:7:15 @ And his tender affection is all the greater toward you, when he calls to mind the obedience of you all, and the fear and trembling with which you received him.

mnt@2Corinthians:8:1 @ Now, brothers, I wish to tell you about the grace of God which has been manifest in the churches of Macedonia.

mnt@2Corinthians:8:2 @ For although in heavy trial of affliction, their overbrimming happiness, even in spite of their deep poverty, abounded to the opulence of their unselfishness.

mnt@2Corinthians:8:3 @ For I can testify that according to their ability, and even beyond their ability, of their own free will, too, they have given help.

mnt@2Corinthians:8:4 @ With earnest entreaty they craved of me the privilege of a share in ministering to the saints in Jerusalem.

mnt@2Corinthians:8:5 @ And this not as I had expected, but in accordance with the will of God, they first gave themselves to God and to me.

mnt@2Corinthians:8:8 @ I do not say this by way of command, but by the zeal of others I am trying to prove the reality of your love.

mnt@2Corinthians:8:9 @ For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, how though he was rich, for your sakes he became poor, that you through his poverty might become rich.

mnt@2Corinthians:8:10 @ And I will give you my opinion in this matter; for this offering is fitting in your case, considering that you made a beginning before others, not only in the willingness to do something but also in actually doing something a year ago.

mnt@2Corinthians:8:11 @ So now complete the doing of it also, in order that just as there was the readiness to will, so there may be the accomplishment according to your means.

mnt@2Corinthians:8:16 @ But thanks be to God who has inspired in the heart of Titus the same zeal on your behalf that I have.

mnt@2Corinthians:8:17 @ For he not only consented to my request, but being thoroughly in earnest, comes to you of his own accord.

mnt@2Corinthians:8:18 @ And I am sending with him that brother whose fame in the service of the gospel is spread through all the churches.

mnt@2Corinthians:8:19 @ More than that, he is the one chosen by the churches to accompany me on my journey, in administering this gift of yours for the Lords glory. And this has my full consent,

mnt@2Corinthians:8:21 @ For I aim at being above reproach, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.

mnt@2Corinthians:8:22 @ With them I am sending our brother of whose zeal I have often had proof in many ways, and who is now zealous because of his great confidence in you.

mnt@2Corinthians:8:23 @ As for Titus, remember that he is a partner of mine, and is also my associate in labors for you. As for the other brothers, remember that they are delegates from the churches, men in whom Christ is glorified.

mnt@2Corinthians:8:24 @ So show to the churches an evidence of your love, and a justification to these brothers of my boasting about you.

mnt@2Corinthians:9:2 @ for I know how ready you are, and am always boasting about you to the Macedonians, telling them that Greece has been ready for a year past; and your zeal has been a spur to the majority of them.

mnt@2Corinthians:9:4 @ For if any Macedonians come with me and find you not ready, shame would come upon me (not to speak of you) in respect to this confidence.

mnt@2Corinthians:9:5 @ So I have thought that I must ask these brothers to visit you beforehand, and get your promised contribution ready in advance. I want it to be given of your bounty, not extorted from your covetousness.

mnt@2Corinthians:9:7 @ But let each give according to the purpose of his heart; not grudgingly of under compulsion. It is a cheerful giver that God loves.

mnt@2Corinthians:9:8 @ And God is able to give you an overflowing measure of every grace, so that all your wants of every kind may be supplied at all times, and you may give of your abundance to every good work;

mnt@2Corinthians:9:10 @ He who ever supplies seed to the sower, and bread for the food of man, will supply and make plentous your seed, and increase the harvest springing up from your almsgiving.

mnt@2Corinthians:9:11 @ You yourselves will be enriched with all good things, that you may give ungrudgingly; and your gifts, of which I am the agent, will make men give thanks to God.

mnt@2Corinthians:9:12 @ Because the ministry of this contribution not only supplies the needs of the saints, but also overflows in many a thanksgiving to God.

mnt@2Corinthians:9:13 @ For this ministration proves you. On account of it men glorify God for your faithfulness to your professions of the gospel of Christ, and for the liberality of your gifts to them and to all.

mnt@2Corinthians:9:14 @ Moreover, in their prayers for you they will be longing after you, because of the exceeding grace of God that is resting upon you.

mnt@2Corinthians:10:1 @ Now I Paul, myself, appeal to you by the humble-heartedness and selflessness of Christ - Paul who "in your presence is humble, but bold enough when he is absent" -

mnt@2Corinthians:10:2 @ I beseech you, and I say, do not make me show my boldness, when I come in the boldness with which I think I shall show my courage against some who think that I am walking on the low level of the flesh.

mnt@2Corinthians:10:3 @ Though I do walk on the low level of the flesh, I do not make war as the flesh does;

mnt@2Corinthians:10:4 @ for the weapons of my warfare are not weapons of the flesh, but mighty for God, in pulling down all fortresses.

mnt@2Corinthians:10:5 @ For I pull down imaginations and every crag that lifts itself against the knowledge of God. And I carry every thought away into captivity and subjection to Christ;

mnt@2Corinthians:10:6 @ and I am fully prepared to punish every act of disobedience, when once your submission has been put beyond question.

mnt@2Corinthians:10:12 @ I have not indeed the audacity to class myself among, or compare myself with, certain of the self-commenders; yet they are not wise in measuring themselves by one another and in comparing themselves with one another.

mnt@2Corinthians:10:13 @ I, however, will not indulge in undue boasting, but will confine it within the limits of the sphere to which God has assigned me - a sphere which reaches even to you.

mnt@2Corinthians:10:14 @ For I am not overstepping the limits of my authority, as though I reached you not; since I have already come even as far as Corinth to proclaim the gospel of Christ.

mnt@2Corinthians:10:15 @ I am not "boasting beyond measure in the labors of others," but it is my hope that, as your faith goes on increasing among yourselves, by the enlargement of my appointed limits,

mnt@2Corinthians:10:16 @ I may carry the gospel to countries beyond you; and not be boasting of work made ready to my hand within another mans limit.

mnt@2Corinthians:11:7 @ Is it a sin, forsooth, that I humbled myself that you might be exalted, in preaching the gospel to you free of cost?

mnt@2Corinthians:11:9 @ Even when I lacked the actual necessities of life while I was with you, I was a burden to no one; for whatever I lacked, the brothers from Macedonia supplied, when they came. So I kept myself from being a burden to you in any way, and will continue to do so.

mnt@2Corinthians:11:10 @ As the truth of Christ is in me, this boasting of mine shall not be stopped within the boundaries of Greece!

mnt@2Corinthians:11:12 @ I am doing and will continue to do this in order to cut away the ground from under those who wish some cause for slander; and that the ground of their boasting may appear as does mine.

mnt@2Corinthians:11:13 @ For such fellows are sham apostles of Christ.

mnt@2Corinthians:11:14 @ No wonder! for Satan himself disguises himself as an angel of light.

mnt@2Corinthians:11:15 @ It is no great marvel, then, if his ministers also disguise themselves as ministers of righteousness. Their end will be according to their works.

mnt@2Corinthians:11:17 @ What I am about to say I am not speaking by the Lords command, but as it were in pure folly, in this boldness of boasting.

mnt@2Corinthians:11:20 @ You put up with it, though they make slaves of you, live on you, seize your property, lord it over you, even strike you in the face, in the way of degradation!

mnt@2Corinthians:11:22 @ Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they descendants of Israel? So am I. Are they descendants of Abraham? So am I.

mnt@2Corinthians:11:23 @ Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as though I were beside myself), such, far, more, am I; in labors more abundant, in imprisonments also more abundant, in floggings beyond measure, in deaths often.

mnt@2Corinthians:11:24 @ Five times at the hands of the Jews, I have received one short of forty lashes.

mnt@2Corinthians:11:26 @ My journeys have been many; in perils of rivers, in perils of bandits; in perils from my countrymen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness; in perils on the sea, in perils among false brothers;

mnt@2Corinthians:11:27 @ in toil and weariness, often in sleepless watching, in hunger and thirst, often without anything to eat; in cold and in nakedness.

mnt@2Corinthians:11:28 @ Not to mention other things, there is the crowding pressure of each day upon me, the care of all the churches.

mnt@2Corinthians:11:31 @ The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, he who is blessed forever, knows that I am telling the truth.

mnt@2Corinthians:11:32 @ In Damascus, the governor under Aretas the King, kept guard over the city of the Damascus, to arrest me;

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

mnt@2Corinthians:12:1 @ I am forced to boast, though it is unprofitable, but I will go on to visions and revelations of the Lord.;18 I urged Titus to go, and with him I sent our brother. Did Titus make gain of you? And did I not walk in the same spirit as he did? Did I not take the very same steps?

mnt@2Corinthians:12:2 @ I know a Christian man who, fourteen years ago (whether in the body I know not, or out of the body, I know not. God knows), was caught up- -this man of whom I speak - even into the third heaven.

mnt@2Corinthians:12:5 @ Of such a one I will boast; but on my own behalf I will not boast except in my weaknesses.

mnt@2Corinthians:12:6 @ If I should choose to continue boasting I should not be foolish, for I should be speaking the truth. But I refrain, lest by the stupendous grandeur of the revelation any one should estimate me beyond what he sees in me, or hears from me.

mnt@2Corinthians:12:7 @ It was for this reason, lest I should be over-elated, that there was given me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan, to buffet me, lest I should be over-elated.

mnt@2Corinthians:12:10 @ Most gladly therefore will I boast rather of my weakness, that over me like a tent may be pitched the power of Christ. That is why I rejoice in weakness, in ill-treatment, in troubles, in persecutions and calamities for Christs sake. For when I am weak, then am I strong.

mnt@2Corinthians:12:12 @ In truth the signs of the true apostle were wrought among you in all patience by signs and marvels and powers.

mnt@2Corinthians:12:17 @ Did I make gain of you through any of those whom I sent to you?

mnt@2Corinthians:12:19 @ Do you think that all this time I am defending myself to you? It is before the presence of God that I am speaking in Christ; and all, beloved, for your upbuilding.

mnt@2Corinthians:12:21 @ and lest when I come again my God may humble me before you, and lest I shall mourn for many those who have sinned before, and have not repented of the impurity and immorality and wantonness which they have practised.

mnt@2Corinthians:13:1 @ This will be my third visit to you. Out of the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be confirmed.

mnt@2Corinthians:13:3 @ Since you want a proof of Christ who is speaking in me, he who is not feeble toward you, but powerful among you.

mnt@2Corinthians:13:4 @ For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he now lives through the power of God. I also am weak, sharing in his weakness, but I shall live with him by the power of God.

mnt@2Corinthians:13:5 @ Examine yourselves to see if you are in the faith; put your own selves to the proof. Or do you not know, your own selves, that Jesus Christ is in you, unless indeed you fail to abide the proof?

mnt@2Corinthians:13:6 @ But I hope you will find that I abide the proof.

mnt@2Corinthians:13:7 @ And my prayer to God is that you may do no evil; not in order that I may appear approved, but that you may do what is noble, though I should seem unable to abide the proof.

mnt@2Corinthians:13:8 @ For I have no power against the truth, but only in defense of the truth.

mnt@2Corinthians:13:11 @ Finally, brothers, farewell. Aim at perfection, take courage, be of one mind, live in peace; so shall the God of love and peace be with you.

mnt@Galatians:1:7 @ for another gospel, which indeed is not another; only there are certain individuals who are troubling you, and desiring to pervert the gospel of Christ.

mnt@Galatians:1:10 @ Think you that I am now trying to conciliate men or God? Or am I "seeking to please men"? If I were still seeking to please men, I should not be a slave of Christ.

mnt@Galatians:1:12 @ for neither did I myself receive it from man, nor by man was I taught it, but by a revelation an apocalypse of Jesus Christ.

mnt@Galatians:1:13 @ For you have heard of my former conduct in Judaism, how furiously I used to persecute the church of God, and how I kept seeking to root it out;

mnt@Galatians:1:14 @ and how in my zeal for Judaism I outstripped many of my own age and nation, in my special zeal for the traditions of my forefathers.

mnt@Galatians:1:17 @ or even going up to Jerusalem to see those who had been apostles before me, I went off at once to Arabia, and on my return came back to Damascus.

mnt@Galatians:1:21 @ Then I went into the districts of Syria and Cilicia.

mnt@Galatians:1:22 @ But to the churches of Christ in Judea I was personally unknown;

mnt@Galatians:1:23 @ only they used to hear it said, "He who was once persecuting us is now preaching the gospel of the very faith which he once tried to ruin."

mnt@Galatians:2:5 @ To them we did not yield submission even for an hour, in order that the truth of the gospel might abide unshaken among you.

mnt@Galatians:2:6 @ But those in authority - what they once were makes no difference to me; God is no respecter of persons - those I say who were in authority had no additions to make my message.

mnt@Galatians:2:9 @ and when they recognized the grace which had been given to me, James and Cephas and John, then thought to be pillars, gave to Barnabas and to me the right hand of fellowship. They agreed that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the Jews.

mnt@Galatians:2:12 @ For until certain men came from James he used to eat with the Gentile Christians, but when they came, he began to draw back and to separate himself, because he was afraid of the circumcision party.

mnt@Galatians:2:13 @ And the rest of the Jewish Christians also dissimulated with him, so that even Barnabas was carried away by their hypocrisy.

mnt@Galatians:2:14 @ But when I saw that they were not walking a straight path, in the presence of the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas before them all. "If you, although you are a Jew, live like the Gentiles and not like the Jews, why do you try to compel the Gentiles to become Jews?

mnt@Galatians:2:16 @ "yet because we know that no man is justified by the works of the Law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, we ourselves also have put our faith in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the Law; for "By the works of the Law shall no flesh be justified."

mnt@Galatians:2:17 @ But if while seeking to be justified in Christ we ourselves also have been found to be sinners, is Christ then a minister of sin? Far from it!

mnt@Galatians:2:20 @ I have been crucified with Christ, so it is no longer I who am living, but it is Christ who is living in me; and the life I am now living in the flesh, I am living in faith of the Son of God who loved me and gave himself up for me.

mnt@Galatians:2:21 @ I do not annul the grace of God; for if righteousness comes by way of the Law, then indeed Christ died Christ for nothing.

mnt@Galatians:3:5 @ Does he then who supplies you with his Spirit and works miracles among you, do it because you do what the law commands of because you believe the message heard?

mnt@Galatians:3:7 @ Notice then that the true sons of Abraham are children of faith.

mnt@Galatians:3:8 @ And the Scripture, anticipating Gods justification of the Gentiles by faith, announced the gospel to Abraham beforehand in the words, In thee shall all the Gentiles be blessed.

mnt@Galatians:3:9 @ So then they who are children of faith are blessed with Abraham the faithful;

mnt@Galatians:3:10 @ but a curse rests on those who have their root in the works of the Law; for it is written. Cursed is every one that continues not in all the things written in the Book of the Law, to do them.

mnt@Galatians:3:11 @ And it is manifest that by the Law no man is justified in the sight of God. because The just shall live by faith,

mnt@Galatians:3:13 @ Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the Law by becoming a curse for us (for it is written, Cursed is every one who is hanged upon a tree),

mnt@Galatians:3:14 @ to the end that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles, so that through faith we might receive the promised Spirit.

mnt@Galatians:3:16 @ Now it was to Abraham that the promises were spoken, and to his offspring. God did not say, "offsprings" as if speaking of many, but "and to your offspring," as of one; and this is Christ.

mnt@Galatians:3:19 @ To what purpose, then, was the Law? It was imposed later for the sake of transgressions, until the "Offspring" should come to whom the promise had been made. It was arranged through angels by the hand of a mediator.

mnt@Galatians:3:21 @ Is the Law then opposed to the promises of God? Certainly not; for if a law had been given which could make alive, then righteousness would actually have come from law;

mnt@Galatians:3:26 @ You are all sons of God through your faith in Jesus Christ.

mnt@Galatians:3:27 @ For all of you who were baptized into Christ, have clothed yourselves with Christ.

mnt@Galatians:3:29 @ And if you belong to Christ, then you are the descendants of Abraham, heirs according to the promise.

mnt@Galatians:4:1 @ What I mean is this. As long as the heir is a child, he differs in no respect from a slave, though he be the owner of the whole inheritance;

mnt@Galatians:4:2 @ but is under the control of guardians and trustees, until the time appointed by his father.

mnt@Galatians:4:3 @ So we Jews also, when we were children, were held in bondage under the empty externalities of the world.

mnt@Galatians:4:4 @ But when the fulness of time was come God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under law,

mnt@Galatians:4:6 @ And because you are sons, God sent forth the spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, "Dear, dear Father!"

mnt@Galatians:4:7 @ So each one of you is no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir, too, through Gods grace.

mnt@Galatians:4:8 @ But once, when you Gentiles had no knowledge of God, you were slaves to gods which have no real being.

mnt@Galatians:4:14 @ and although my bodily affliction was a trial to you, you did not scoff at it nor spurn me, but welcomed me like an angel of God, like Christ Jesus himself.

mnt@Galatians:4:19 @ O my little children, of whom I travail again in birth until Christ be formed within you!

mnt@Galatians:4:23 @ but while the son by the slave woman was born according to the flesh, the son by the free woman was born in fulfilment of a promise.

mnt@Galatians:4:27 @ For it is written, Rejoice, O thou barren one who dost never bear, Break forth in joy, thou that dost not travail; For the children of the desolate woman are many. Yea, more than hers who has a husband.

mnt@Galatians:4:28 @ But you, brothers, are like Isaac, children of the promise;

mnt@Galatians:4:29 @ but just as in old times the son born by the flesh used to persecute the son born by the power of the Spirit, so also it is now.

mnt@Galatians:4:30 @ But what does the Scripture say? Send away the slave-woman and her son; for the slaves son shall not be heir along with the son of the free woman.

mnt@Galatians:4:31 @ So, brothers, we are the children of no slave woman, but of free woman. For freedom did not Christ set us free;

mnt@Galatians:5:1 @ stand firm then, and do not be again entangled in a yoke of bondage.

mnt@Galatians:5:2 @ Listen to me! I, Paul, declare to you that if you are to continue to follow the rite of circumcision, Christ will be no profit to you.

mnt@Galatians:5:4 @ If you are being justified by law, you are cut off from Christ; you are fallen away from grace.

mnt@Galatians:5:5 @ But we are not, for we through the Spirit are eagerly waiting by faith for a hope of righteousness (a hope well founded);

mnt@Galatians:5:11 @ But I, brothers, if I "still preach circumcision," why am I still persecuted? Then surely the stumbling-block of the Cross has ceased to be an obstacle!

mnt@Galatians:5:16 @ This is my meaning. Let your steps be guided by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.

mnt@Galatians:5:17 @ For the desire of the flesh is against that of the Spirit, and the desire of the Spirit is against that of the flesh, for they two are antagonistic, so that you may not do those things that you wish.

mnt@Galatians:5:19 @ Now the works of the flesh are manifest; such, for instance, as fornication, impurity, indecency,

mnt@Galatians:5:21 @ envy, drunkenness, revelings, and things like these. I tell you beforehand, as I have already told you, that those who practise such sins shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

mnt@Galatians:5:22 @ But the harvest-fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long- suffering, kindness, goodness, fidelity, gentleness, and self-control;

mnt@Galatians:6:1 @ Even if any one should be overtaken in a fault, brothers, you that are spiritual ought, in a gentle spirit, to restore such a one, each one of you looking to himself, lest you too be tempted.

mnt@Galatians:6:2 @ Ever be bearing one anothers burdens, and so be fulfilling the law of Christ.

mnt@Galatians:6:12 @ Those who are trying to compel you to be circumcised are such as wish to make a fair show in the flesh, only that they may not suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.

mnt@Ephesians:1:1 @ Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints who are in Ephesus and to the faithful in Christ Jesus,

mnt@Ephesians:1:3 @ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms in Christ.

mnt@Ephesians:1:4 @ Even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world to be holy and without blemish in his sight.

mnt@Ephesians:1:5 @ For in his love he predestined us (such was the good pleasure of his will) to adoption for himself as sons through Jesus Christ,

mnt@Ephesians:1:6 @ and to the praise of his glorious grace which he graciously bestowed upon us in the Beloved.

mnt@Ephesians:1:7 @ It is in him we have deliverance, the forgiveness of our trespasses, through his blood;

mnt@Ephesians:1:8 @ so abundantly did he lavish upon us the riches of his grace in all wisdom and understanding,

mnt@Ephesians:1:10 @ for the government of the fulness of the ages, that all things in heaven and earth are alike should be gathered up in Christ, as Head.

mnt@Ephesians:1:11 @ It is he in whom we Jews also have our inheritance, having been chosen beforehand according to the purpose of Him who executes all things according to the counsel of his will,

mnt@Ephesians:1:12 @ that we who first hoped in Christ should be for the praise of his glory.

mnt@Ephesians:1:13 @ And in him, because you listened to the proclamation of the truth, the evangel of your salvation, and trusted it, you Gentiles too were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit,

mnt@Ephesians:1:14 @ who for the praise of his glory is the pledge of our common heritage, unto the complete redemption of his purchased property.

mnt@Ephesians:1:15 @ For this reason I also, from the time when I heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which prevails among you, and your love to all the saints,

mnt@Ephesians:1:17 @ I am praying that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father most glorious, may grant you a spirit of wisdom and revelation, through an intimate knowledge of himself;

mnt@Ephesians:1:18 @ and that the eyes of your heart may be flooded with light so that you may understand what is the hope of his calling, what the wealth of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,

mnt@Ephesians:1:19 @ and what the surpassing greatness of his might in us who believe, as seen in the energy of that resistless might

mnt@Ephesians:1:23 @ which is his body, the fulness of Him who fills the universe.

mnt@Ephesians:2:2 @ in which you passed your lives after the way of this world, under the sway of the Prince of the Powers of the Air, the spirit who is now working among the sons of disobedience.

mnt@Ephesians:2:3 @ And among them we all once passed our lives, indulging the passions of our flesh, carrying out the dictates of our senses and temperament, and were by nature the children of wrath like all the rest.

mnt@Ephesians:2:4 @ But God, who is rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us,

mnt@Ephesians:2:7 @ in order that he might show to the ages to come the amazing riches of his grace by his goodness to us in Christ Jesus.

mnt@Ephesians:2:8 @ For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is Gods gift.

mnt@Ephesians:2:9 @ It is not of works, so that any one can boast of it;

mnt@Ephesians:2:10 @ for we are his handiwork, created in Christ Jesus for good deeds, which God predestined us to make our daily way of life.

mnt@Ephesians:2:12 @ were once upon a time without Christ, aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, strangers to the covenants of the Promise, without hope and without God in the world.

mnt@Ephesians:2:13 @ But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near in the blood of Christ.

mnt@Ephesians:2:14 @ For he is our Peace, who has made the two of us Jew and Gentile one, and has broken down the party-wall of partition between us.

mnt@Ephesians:2:15 @ In his own body he abolished the cause of our enmity, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, in order to make the two into one new man in himself, so making peace.

mnt@Ephesians:2:17 @ So he came preaching "Peace" to you Gentiles who were afar off, and "Peace" to us Jews who were near;

mnt@Ephesians:2:19 @ Take notice then that no longer are you strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of Gods household.

mnt@Ephesians:2:20 @ You are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner-stone.

mnt@Ephesians:2:22 @ and in him you, too, are continuously built together for a dwelling- place of God through his Spirit.

mnt@Ephesians:3:1 @ For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles -

mnt@Ephesians:3:2 @ for surely you have heard of the stewardship of the grace of God entrusted to me for you?

mnt@Ephesians:3:4 @ By reading what I have written, you can judge of my insight into that secret truth of Christ

mnt@Ephesians:3:5 @ which was not disclosed to the sons of men in former generations, as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to his holy apostles and prophets,

mnt@Ephesians:3:7 @ It is of this gospel I became a minister according to the gift of the power of the grace of God, bestowed on me by the energy of his power.

mnt@Ephesians:3:8 @ To me, who am less than the least of all saints, has this grace been given, that I should proclaim among the Gentiles the gospel of the unsearchable riches of Christ;

mnt@Ephesians:3:9 @ and should make all men see the new dispensation of that secret purpose, hidden from eternity in the God who founded the universe,

mnt@Ephesians:3:12 @ In him we have this fearless confidence and boldness of access through our faith in him.

mnt@Ephesians:3:16 @ praying him to grant you according to the riches of his glory to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in your inmost being;

mnt@Ephesians:3:19 @ and may know the love of Christ which transcends all knowing, so that you may be filled with all the "plenitude" of God.

mnt@Ephesians:4:1 @ I summon you then, I the prisoner in the Lord, to live lives worthy of the calling to which you were called.

mnt@Ephesians:4:3 @ and endeavor to preserve the unity of the Spirit in the bonds of peace.

mnt@Ephesians:4:4 @ There is one body and one spirit, even as also you were called in one hope of your calling.

mnt@Ephesians:4:6 @ one God and Father of all, who is over all, and through all, and in all.

mnt@Ephesians:4:7 @ And to each one of us was grace given according to the measure of the munificence of Christ.

mnt@Ephesians:4:9 @ Now surely this "he ascended" implies that he also descended into the lower part of the earth.

mnt@Ephesians:4:12 @ in order to equip the saints for the work of serving, for the building up of the Body of Christ -

mnt@Ephesians:4:13 @ till we all come in the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to the maturity of manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ.

mnt@Ephesians:4:14 @ So we shall no longer be children, tossed up and down, and blown about by every wind of teaching, tricked by the craft of men in the snares of misleading error;

mnt@Ephesians:4:16 @ From him the whole body (knit together and compacted by all its joints) makes continual growth of the body so as to build itself up in love, through the energy of his bounteous provision, according to the need of each several part.

mnt@Ephesians:4:17 @ This then I tell you and implore you in the Masters name, to pass your lives no longer as the Gentiles do in the perverseness of their minds;

mnt@Ephesians:4:18 @ having their understanding darkened, alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardening of their hearts.

mnt@Ephesians:4:19 @ These being past feeling have given themselves over to sensuality, in order to practise every form of impurity with greedy zest.

mnt@Ephesians:4:22 @ You have learned to lay aside, with your former manner of living, the old self who was on his way to ruin, as he followed the desires which deceive;

mnt@Ephesians:4:23 @ and to be made new in the spirit of your mind,

mnt@Ephesians:4:24 @ and to put on the new self, created after Gods likeness, in the uprightness and holiness of the truth.

mnt@Ephesians:4:25 @ So then put away falseness and speak every man the truth to his neighbor, for we are members one of another.

mnt@Ephesians:4:30 @ And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you have been sealed for the day of redemption.

mnt@Ephesians:5:2 @ and to lead lives of love, just as Christ also loved you and gave himself up for you, an offering and sacrifice unto God, for you, an offering and sacrifice unto God, for "an odor of sweetness."

mnt@Ephesians:5:3 @ As for sexual vice and every kind of impurity or lust, it is unbecoming for you as Christians even to mention them;

mnt@Ephesians:5:5 @ For be well assured that no one guilty of fornication or impurity or covetousness which is idolatry, has any heritage in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

mnt@Ephesians:5:6 @ Let no man deceive you with empty arguments, for it is these vices that bring down the wrath of God upon the sons of disobedience;

mnt@Ephesians:5:9 @ Lead the life of children of light, for the fruit of the light consists in every kind of goodness and uprightness and truth.

mnt@Ephesians:5:11 @ and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of the darkness, but rather expose them.

mnt@Ephesians:5:12 @ For it is a shame even to speak of the things that are done by such men in secret;

mnt@Ephesians:5:20 @ and at all times for all things give thanks to God, the Father, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

mnt@Ephesians:5:21 @ Submit yourselves one to another out of reverence for Christ.

mnt@Ephesians:5:23 @ because a husband is the head of his wife even as Christ is head of the church, his body, which he saves.

mnt@Ephesians:5:26 @ in order that after cleansing her in the bath of baptism, he might sanctify her by his word,

mnt@Ephesians:5:30 @ for we are members of his body.

mnt@Ephesians:5:32 @ There is a deep mystery here - I am speaking of Christ and his church.

mnt@Ephesians:5:33 @ But as for you individually, you must each one of you love his own wife exactly as if she were yourself; and the wife, on her part, should reverence her husband.

mnt@Ephesians:6:4 @ And you fathers, do not irritate your children, but bring them up in the nature and admonition of the Lord.

mnt@Ephesians:6:5 @ Slaves, be obedient to those who are your earthly masters, with reverence and humility, in singleness of heart as if to Christ himself;

mnt@Ephesians:6:6 @ not with eye service, as men-pleasers, but as the slaves of Christ, doing the will of God;

mnt@Ephesians:6:9 @ And you masters, show the same spirit to your slaves, and stop threatening them; for you know that your masters and theirs is in heaven, and that there is no respect of persons with him.

mnt@Ephesians:6:10 @ Finally, my brothers, let your hearts be strengthened in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

mnt@Ephesians:6:11 @ Put on all the panoply of God, so that you may be able to stand your ground against the stratagems of the devil.

mnt@Ephesians:6:12 @ For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the despotisms, the empires, the rulers of this present darkness, the spirit-hosts of evil in the heavenly realm.

mnt@Ephesians:6:13 @ Therefore take up the panoply of God, so that when the evil day comes you may be able to withstand them, and having overthrown them all, to stand your ground.

mnt@Ephesians:6:14 @ Stand firm then, girt about with the belt of truth, and wearing the breastplate of righteousness,

mnt@Ephesians:6:15 @ and having your feet shod with the stability of the gospel of peace.

mnt@Ephesians:6:16 @ And take up to cover you the shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the flaming darts of the Evil One.

mnt@Ephesians:6:17 @ Take likewise the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

mnt@Ephesians:6:19 @ and for me, that utterance may be given me to open my mouth boldly, and to make known the mystery of the gospel for which I am an ambassador,

mnt@Philippians:1:1 @ Paul and Timothy, slaves of Christ Jesus, to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, and to the elders and deacons.

mnt@Philippians:1:3 @ Upon every remembrance of you I am ever thanking my God for you all;

mnt@Philippians:1:4 @ in every petition of mine in your behalf I am offering my prayer with joy for your fellowship in forwarding the gospel,

mnt@Philippians:1:6 @ Of this I am fully persuaded, that He who has begun a good work in you will go on completing it until the day of Jesus Christ.

mnt@Philippians:1:7 @ It is but just that I should be thus mindful of you all, because I have you in my heart, and because in these fetters of mine and in my defense and confirmation of the gospel you are all my fellow partners in the privilege.

mnt@Philippians:1:8 @ God is my witness how I yearn for you all in the tenderness of Christ Jesus.

mnt@Philippians:1:10 @ for testing things that differ, so that you may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ,

mnt@Philippians:1:11 @ being filled with the fruit of righteousness through Jesus Christ to the glory and praise of God.

mnt@Philippians:1:12 @ I want you to know, brothers, that what has happened to me has turned out rather to help than to the hindrance of the gospel.

mnt@Philippians:1:13 @ Throughout the whole Praetorian guard and among all the others it has become plain that these chains of mine are for the sake of Christ;

mnt@Philippians:1:14 @ and most of the brothers in the Lord, made confident in the Lord through my imprisonment, are much emboldened to speak Gods message with free and fearless confidence.

mnt@Philippians:1:15 @ Some indeed are preaching Christ out of envy and contentiousness, but others from good-will.

mnt@Philippians:1:16 @ but the former preach Christ out of rivalry, not sincerely, because they think they are adding bitterness to my bonds.

mnt@Philippians:1:17 @ These latter out of their love, because they know that I am set here for the defense of the gospel;

mnt@Philippians:1:18 @ What of it? In any case, whether in pretence or in honest truth, Christ is still preached, and in that I am rejoicing, yes, and will rejoice.

mnt@Philippians:1:19 @ For I know that these things will turn out to my salvation through your prayers and a rich supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ.

mnt@Philippians:1:22 @ But now, if life in the flesh, if this be the fruit of my toil - what to choose I do not know,

mnt@Philippians:1:25 @ And because I am convinced of this, I know that I shall live, and go on working side by side with you all for your progress and joy in the faith,

mnt@Philippians:1:26 @ so that you may find me fresh cause of exultation in Christ Jesus, because of my presence among you once more.

mnt@Philippians:1:27 @ Only do lead lives worthy of the gospel of Christ; so that whether I come to see you or hear reports concerning you in my absence, I may know that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one soul, enlisted in a common struggle for the faith of the gospel,

mnt@Philippians:1:28 @ and in no way terrorized by its enemies. For you fearlessness is a clear indication of coming ruin for them, but of salvation for you at the hands of God.

mnt@Philippians:2:1 @ If then there is any comfort in Christ, if there is any persuasive power in love, if there is any companionship of the Spirit, if there is any tenderness or pity,

mnt@Philippians:2:3 @ Do nothing out of strife, nothing out of vanity, but let each one in true humility consider the others to be of more account than himself.

mnt@Philippians:2:4 @ Let each have an eye not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.

mnt@Philippians:2:6 @ who, though from the beginning he had the nature of God, did not reckon equality with God something to be forcibly retained,

mnt@Philippians:2:7 @ but emptied himself of his glory by taking the form of a slave, when he was born in the likeness of men.

mnt@Philippians:2:10 @ that in the name of Jesus every knee in heaven, on earth, and under the earth should bend,

mnt@Philippians:2:11 @ and every tongue confess that "Jesus Christ is Lord," to the glory of God the Father.

mnt@Philippians:2:15 @ that you may become blameless and innocent, the sons of God, without rebuke in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine like stars in a dark world,

mnt@Philippians:2:16 @ holding out a message of life. Thus it will be my boast at the day of Christ that I have not run in vain, or toiled for nothing.

mnt@Philippians:2:17 @ Nay, even if my life is to be poured out as a libation upon the sacrifice and service of you faith,

mnt@Philippians:2:19 @ Now I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you before long, so that I may be of good comfort when I learn the news concerning you.

mnt@Philippians:2:21 @ for they are all seeking their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ.

mnt@Philippians:2:22 @ And you know Timothys worth, how he has shared my servitude in furtherance of the gospel, like a son helping his father.

mnt@Philippians:2:26 @ for he has been homesick for you all, and distressed at your having heard of his illness.

mnt@Philippians:2:30 @ for it was through the work of the Lord that he came near to death; for he hazarded his very life to supply what was lacking in the help you sent me.

mnt@Philippians:3:2 @ Beware of "these dogs," these mischievous workers, beware of the concision!

mnt@Philippians:3:5 @ circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew sprung from the Hebrews; as to the Law, a Pharisee;

mnt@Philippians:3:6 @ as to zeal, a persecutor of the church; as to the righteousness which comes through law, blameless.

mnt@Philippians:3:8 @ In very truth I count all things but loss compared to the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things, and esteem them but refuse that I may gain Christ,

mnt@Philippians:3:9 @ and be found in him; not having my own righteousness of the Law, but that alone which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which comes from God, founded upon faith.

mnt@Philippians:3:10 @ I long to know him in the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of his sufferings, by sharing the likeness of his death;

mnt@Philippians:3:12 @ I do not say that I have already won, or am already perfect, but I am passing on to lay hold on the prize for which also Christ has laid hold of me.

mnt@Philippians:3:13 @ Brothers, I do not regard myself to have yet laid hold of it; but this one thing I do, forgetting what is behind me, but straining every nerve toward that which lies ahead,

mnt@Philippians:3:14 @ I am ever pressing on toward the goal, for the prize of Gods heavenward call in Christ Jesus.

mnt@Philippians:3:15 @ Let us all then, who are mature Christians, strive for this! God will make this clear to any of you who are striving for other goals;

mnt@Philippians:3:18 @ For there are many - as I used often to tell you, and am now telling you even with tears - who live and walk as the enemies of the cross of Christ.

mnt@Philippians:3:21 @ who will change the fashion of the body of our abasement into the likeness of his glorious body by the energy with which he is able even to subject all things to himself.

mnt@Philippians:4:2 @ Euodia I entreat, and I entreat Syntyche, to be of the same mind of the Lord;

mnt@Philippians:4:3 @ yes, and I beg you also, my true yokefellow, to help them; for these women shared my toil in the furtherance of the gospel, together with Clement, and the rest of my fellow workers whose names are in the book of life.

mnt@Philippians:4:7 @ and the peace of God, which passes all understanding, will stand guard over your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.

mnt@Philippians:4:8 @ Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is worthy of reverence, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if virtue is anything, if honor is anything, be always thinking about these.

mnt@Philippians:4:9 @ Put in practise also what you have learned and received and heard and seen in me; and the God of peace shall be with you.

mnt@Philippians:4:10 @ Moreover, I greatly rejoiced in the Lord that now once more your care for me blossomed afresh; though indeed you did take thought in this matter, but you lacked the opportunity of expression.

mnt@Philippians:4:12 @ I know how to live humbly, and I also know how to bear prosperity. In every place and under all circumstances I have been initiated into the secret of fulness and of hunger, of prosperity and of want.

mnt@Philippians:4:15 @ And you very well know, Philippians, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I had left Macedonia, no church but yourselves had fellowship with me in the matter of giving and receiving.

mnt@Philippians:4:17 @ It is not your gifts I am eager for, but I am eager for the abundant profit that accrues to your divine account.

mnt@Philippians:4:18 @ But I give you a receipt in full for all things abound. I am amply supplied with what you sent by Epaphroditus - an odor of sweet fragrance, a sacrifice acceptable, well pleasing to God.

mnt@Philippians:4:22 @ All the saints salute you, and especially the slaves of the Emperors household.

mnt@Philippians:4:23 @ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirits.

mnt@Colossians:1:1 @ Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, and Timothy our brother,

mnt@Colossians:1:3 @ Whenever I pray for you I am continually thanking God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ

mnt@Colossians:1:4 @ (since I heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and your love to all the saints)

mnt@Colossians:1:5 @ because of the hope laid up for you in heaven. Long ago you heard of this hope in the message which came to you of the truth of the gospel.

mnt@Colossians:1:6 @ And just as it is spreading through the whole world, bearing fruit and increasing, so also is it among you, from the day in which you heard it, and came truly to know the grace of God,

mnt@Colossians:1:7 @ as you learned it from Epaphras, our dearly loved fellow slave. He is a faithful minister of Jesus Christ in your behalf,

mnt@Colossians:1:8 @ and it is he who has told me of your love for me in the spirit.

mnt@Colossians:1:9 @ For this reason from the day I heard of it I have never ceased to pray for you, asking God to fill you with the knowledge of his will with every kind of wisdom and spiritual insight;

mnt@Colossians:1:10 @ that you may walk worthy of the Lord in every kind of pleasing; that you may be fruitful in every kind of good work, and may increase in the knowledge of God;

mnt@Colossians:1:11 @ that you may be strengthened in every kind of strength by the might of his glory for every kind of patience and fortitude with good cheer.

mnt@Colossians:1:12 @ I ask that you may give thanks to the Father who has made us fit to receive our share of the heritage of the saints in the light.

mnt@Colossians:1:13 @ For he has delivered us out of the dominion of the darkness, and transplanted us into the kingdom of his dear Son,

mnt@Colossians:1:14 @ in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of our sins.

mnt@Colossians:1:15 @ He is a visible image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation;

mnt@Colossians:1:18 @ He is the head of his Body, the Church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, in order that in all things he may become preeminent.

mnt@Colossians:1:20 @ and by him it chose to reconcile all things alike on earth or in heaven to himself; making peace by him, through the blood of his cross.

mnt@Colossians:1:23 @ And this he will do if, indeed, you continue in the faith, firmly founded and stedfast, and never moved away from the hope of the gospel which you heard, and which has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, that gospel of which I, Paul, was made a minister.

mnt@Colossians:1:24 @ I am now rejoicing in my sufferings on your behalf; and I am filling up in my own body what is yet lacking of the sufferings of Christ in behalf of the church, his Body.

mnt@Colossians:1:25 @ It is of this I was made a minister, according to the stewardship entrusted to me by God for you, fully to declare Gods message;

mnt@Colossians:1:26 @ that secret truth, which, although hidden from ages and generations of old, has now been made manifest to his saints.

mnt@Colossians:1:27 @ To them God willed to make known among the Gentiles how glorious are the riches of that secret truth, which is "Christ in you, the hope of glory."

mnt@Colossians:1:29 @ For that end I am ever toiling, wrestling with all that energy of his which is mightily at work within me.

mnt@Colossians:2:2 @ May their hearts be comforted! May they be knit together in love! May they gain in all its riches the full assurance of their understanding! May they come to a perfect knowledge of the secret truth of God, which is Christ himself.

mnt@Colossians:2:3 @ In Him are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge!

mnt@Colossians:2:5 @ For though I am absent from you in body, I am with you in spirit, happy to note your discipline and the solid front of your faith in Christ.

mnt@Colossians:2:8 @ Take care lest any man drag you away captive by his philosophy which is a vain deceit, following the traditions of men and the worlds crude notions, and not Christ.

mnt@Colossians:2:9 @ For it is in Christ that all the fullness of deity dwells bodily,

mnt@Colossians:2:10 @ and in him you have your fulness, and he is the Lord of all the principalities and powers.

mnt@Colossians:2:11 @ In him also you were circumcised with a circumcision not made with hands; even in putting off your sensual nature in Christs own circumcision,

mnt@Colossians:2:12 @ when you were buried with him in baptism. In baptism also you were raised with him, through your faith in the energy of that God who raised him from the dead.

mnt@Colossians:2:13 @ And you also, at one time dead in your trespasses and in the uncircumcision of your sensual nature, he has made alive together with himself. For he forgave us all our transgressions,

mnt@Colossians:2:14 @ blotted out the handwriting of ordinances that stood against us and was hostile to us, and took it out of our way, nailing it to his cross.

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

mnt@Colossians:2:18 @ Let no man at his will defraud you of your prize through his false humility and worship of the angels, taking his stand on the visions he has seen, and vainly puffed up by his material mind;

mnt@Colossians:2:19 @ instead of keeping connection with the Head from the whole body draws nourishment for all its needs by the joints which bind it; and is knit together, and grows with a divine growth.

mnt@Colossians:2:20 @ If you died with Christ to the worlds rudimentary notions, why, as if you still lived in the world, do you submit yourselves to dogmatisms found on teachings and doctrines of men -

mnt@Colossians:2:23 @ For these precepts, although they have a show of wisdom with their self-imposed devotions and fastings and bodily austerities, are of no real value against the indulgence of the carnal appetites.

mnt@Colossians:3:1 @ If you then are risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ abides, seated on the right hand of God.

mnt@Colossians:3:6 @ These things are ever bringing down the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience,

mnt@Colossians:3:9 @ Lie not one to another, but strip off the old self with its doings,

mnt@Colossians:3:10 @ and put on that new self which is continually made over according to the likeness of its Creator, into full understanding.

mnt@Colossians:3:12 @ Therefore, as Gods chosen people, consecrated and beloved, clothe yourselves with tenderness of heart, kindness, humility, gentleness, good temper;

mnt@Colossians:3:14 @ Over them all bind on love, which is the girdle of completeness.

mnt@Colossians:3:15 @ Let the peace of Christ, to which also you were called in one body, rule in your hearts, and show yourselves thankful.

mnt@Colossians:3:16 @ Let the word of Christ have its home in you richly, in all wisdom. Teach and admonish one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, ever singing with grace in your hearts unto God.

mnt@Colossians:3:17 @ And whatever you do, whether in word of in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God our Father through him.

mnt@Colossians:3:22 @ Slaves, obey in all things your earthly masters, not with eye- service, as men-pleasers, but in singleness of purpose, out of reverence for your Lord.

mnt@Colossians:3:24 @ You know that from the Lord you will receive reward of the inheritance, for you are the Lord Christs slaves.

mnt@Colossians:4:3 @ Keep on praying for me, too, that God may open for me a door of utterance to speak the secret truth of Christ, for which I am a prisoner.

mnt@Colossians:4:6 @ Let your speech be always gracious, with a savor of salt, and learn how to give every man a fitting answer.

mnt@Colossians:4:8 @ I have sent him with Onesimus, the faithful and beloved brother, one of your own number, for this very purpose, to let you know how I am, and to cheer your hearts.

mnt@Colossians:4:9 @ They will inform you of all that goes on here.

mnt@Colossians:4:10 @ Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner, salutes you, and Marcus, the cousin of Barnabas (about whom you received instructions; if he comes to you, make him welcome), and Jesus surnamed Justas.

mnt@Colossians:4:11 @ These are my only fellow workers for the kingdom of God, belonging to the circumcision, who have been any comfort to me.

mnt@Colossians:4:12 @ Epaphras, one of yourselves, salutes you, a slave of Christ who is always agonizing for you in his prayers, that you may stand firm, mature, and fully assured in all the will of God.

mnt@Colossians:4:16 @ And when this letter has been read to you, see that it is read also in the church of Laodiceans, and that you also read the letter from Laodicea.

mnt@Colossians:4:18 @ I, Paul, add this farewell in my own handwriting. Do not forget these chains of mine. Grace be with you.

mnt@1Thessalonians:1:1 @ Paul and Silas and Timothy. To the church of the Thessalonians which is in God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ. Grace be to you, and peace.

mnt@1Thessalonians:1:2 @ I am continually thanking God for all, always making mention of you in my prayers,

mnt@1Thessalonians:1:3 @ as I call to mind your work of faith, and labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the presence of our God and Father.

mnt@1Thessalonians:1:4 @ For I know, O brothers, beloved of God, that he has chosen you;

mnt@1Thessalonians:1:8 @ For the word of the Lord has been sounded forth from you, and its sound has been heard not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place where the tidings of your faith toward God have been spread abroad, so that I have no need to speak of it.

mnt@1Thessalonians:1:9 @ For others, of their own accord, tell about the welcome I had from you, and how you turned to God from your idols, to be slaved of a true and living God,

mnt@1Thessalonians:1:10 @ and to await for the coming of his Son from the heavens, the Son whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, our Deliverer from the wrath to come.

mnt@1Thessalonians:2:1 @ For you yourselves know, brothers, that my visit to you did not fail of its purpose;

mnt@1Thessalonians:2:2 @ for you remember that although I had already borne ill-treatment and insult at Philippi, I took courage in my God to tell you the gospel of God, in the face of much opposition.

mnt@1Thessalonians:2:8 @ So in my fond affection it was my joy to give you, not only the gospel of God, but my very life also, because you had become dear to me.

mnt@1Thessalonians:2:9 @ You recall, brothers, my labor and toil; how, while working at my trade day and night, so as not to become a burden to any of you, I proclaimed to you the gospel of God.

mnt@1Thessalonians:2:11 @ You know how I was wont to treat each of you as a father treats his children,

mnt@1Thessalonians:2:12 @ exhorting and imploring and adjuring each one among you to lead a life worthy of the God who called you into his own kingdom and glory.

mnt@1Thessalonians:2:13 @ For this reason also I am giving continual thanks to God, because when you heard from me the spoken word of God, you received it not as the word of men, but as the word of God (which in truth it is), who himself is effectually at work in you believe.

mnt@1Thessalonians:2:14 @ For you, brothers, began to follow the example of the churches of God in Judea, which are in Christ Jesus; and you in your turn suffered at the hands of your fellow citizens persecutions like to those which they endured from the Jews -

mnt@1Thessalonians:2:15 @ The men who killed both the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and drove us out - they are displeasing to God, and are the enemies of all mankind.

mnt@1Thessalonians:2:16 @ They forbid me to speak to the Gentiles with a view to their salvation. They continue always to fill up the measure of their sins; but the wrath of God is come upon them to the full!

mnt@1Thessalonians:2:19 @ For what is my hope, or joy? What is the victors wreath in which I exult? What but your own selves in the presence of our Lord Jesus, at his coming! For you are my pride and my delight.

mnt@1Thessalonians:3:2 @ I sent Timothy, my brother and Gods fellow worker in the gospel of Christ, to strengthen you and to hearten you in your faith.

mnt@1Thessalonians:3:6 @ But now that Timothy has returned from you to me, and has brought good news of your faith and love, and that you are still holding me in affectionate remembrance, always longing to see me as I also am longing to see you.

mnt@1Thessalonians:3:7 @ I have been comforted, my brothers, in regard to you, in spite of all my distress and affliction over your faith.

mnt@1Thessalonians:3:9 @ For what thanksgiving can I render again to God in your behalf, in return for all the joy which you cause me in the presence of my God?

mnt@1Thessalonians:3:13 @ And so may he establish your hearts unblamable in holiness before our God and Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus, with all his saints.

mnt@1Thessalonians:4:1 @ Finally then, my brothers, I continue to beseech and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that, as you learned of me how to walk so as to please God - and you are actually doing so - that you abound in it yet more and more.

mnt@1Thessalonians:4:5 @ Not in the passion of lust, like the Gentiles who know not God.

mnt@1Thessalonians:4:6 @ That no man overreach or take advantage of his brother in such matters, because "the Lord takes vengeance" in all these things, as also I repeatedly forewarned you and testified to you.

mnt@1Thessalonians:4:15 @ For this I tell you by the word of the Lord, that we who are living, who survive unto the coming of the Lord, will in no wise precede those who have fallen asleep.

mnt@1Thessalonians:4:16 @ For the Lord himself with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God will descend from heaven. Then the dead in Christ will rise first.

mnt@1Thessalonians:5:2 @ You yourselves know perfectly that the Day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night.

mnt@1Thessalonians:5:5 @ For you are all sons of light, and sons of day. We are not of night nor of darkness.

mnt@1Thessalonians:5:8 @ But let us who are of the day be self-controlled, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for a helmet, the hope of salvation.

mnt@1Thessalonians:5:15 @ Take care that none of you ever return evil for evil, but always pursue what is kind to one another and to all.

mnt@1Thessalonians:5:18 @ Give thanks in every circumstance, for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus.

mnt@1Thessalonians:5:22 @ Hold aloof from every form of evil.

mnt@1Thessalonians:5:23 @ May the God of peace consecrate you wholly; and may your spirit and soul and body be kept altogether faultless until the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

mnt@1Thessalonians:5:27 @ I adjure you, in the name of the Lord, to have this letter read to all the brothers.

mnt@1Thessalonians:5:28 @ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

mnt@2Thessalonians:1:1 @ Paul and Silvanus and Timothy. To the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

mnt@2Thessalonians:1:3 @ I ought always to thank God for you, brothers, as is fitting because of the abundant growth of your faith and of the overflowing love with which every one of you is filled toward one another.

mnt@2Thessalonians:1:4 @ So that I myself am boasting about you among the churches of God, boasting of the stedfastness and faith which you are displaying in all the troubles and afflictions which you are enduring.

mnt@2Thessalonians:1:5 @ They are an evidence of the righteous judgment of God, who will count you worthy of his kingdom, in behalf of which you are even now suffering.

mnt@2Thessalonians:1:7 @ and give to you, who are now troubled, rest, along with me at the unveiling "apocalypse" of the Lord Jesus from heaven, with his mighty angels,

mnt@2Thessalonians:1:8 @ in flaming fire. Then shall he take vengeance on those who know not God, even on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.

mnt@2Thessalonians:1:9 @ They shall suffer punishment, even an eternal destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the brightness of his glorious majesty,

mnt@2Thessalonians:1:11 @ To this end I am making my constant prayer for you, beseeching God to make you worthy of your calling, and to fulfil mightily every desire of goodness and effort of faith;

mnt@2Thessalonians:1:12 @ so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in him, according to the grace of our God and of our Lord Jesus Christ.

mnt@2Thessalonians:2:1 @ Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to meet him, I entreat you, brothers,

mnt@2Thessalonians:2:2 @ not to be "quickly shaken out of your wits" and not to be agitated either by a spirit or by a message, or by an epistle purporting to be from me, saying, "The Day of the Lord is at hand."

mnt@2Thessalonians:2:3 @ Let no one deceive you by any means. For it will not come until after the Great Apostasy, and the revealing of the Man of Sin, the son of perdition,

mnt@2Thessalonians:2:4 @ the adversary, who opposes and exalts himself against all that is called God, or is an object of worship; so that he takes his seat in the Temple of God, and vaunts himself as God.

mnt@2Thessalonians:2:5 @ Do you not recall that I often told you this, when I was with you?

mnt@2Thessalonians:2:7 @ For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only there is one who is hindering and will continue to hinder till he be removed;

mnt@2Thessalonians:2:8 @ and then the lawless one will be revealed. Him the Lord will consume with the breath of his lips, and destroy with the brightness of his appearing;

mnt@2Thessalonians:2:9 @ even he whose coming is according to the energy of Satan, in every power and sign and lying wonder,

mnt@2Thessalonians:2:10 @ and with all deceit of unrighteousness for those who are perishing, because they did not receive the love of the truth for their salvation.

mnt@2Thessalonians:2:11 @ For this reason God is sending on them an energy of delusion, that they should put faith in a falsehood;

mnt@2Thessalonians:2:13 @ But for you, brothers, whom the Lord loves, I ought to give thanks to God continually, because God has chosen you from the beginning for salvation in consecration of the Spirit and belief of the truth.

mnt@2Thessalonians:2:14 @ For this he called you through my gospel, so that you might obtain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

mnt@2Thessalonians:2:15 @ So, brothers, stand fast, and hold fast the teachings which you have been taught by me, whether by word of mouth or by letter.

mnt@2Thessalonians:3:5 @ May the Lord incline your hearts to the love of God and to the stedfastness of Christ.

mnt@2Thessalonians:3:6 @ I summon you, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, to shun any brother who leads an idle and disorderly life, which is not according to the rule you received from me.

mnt@2Thessalonians:3:8 @ I did not eat my food as a gift from any man, but in toil and travail, night and day, I worked, so that I might not be a burden to any of you.

mnt@2Thessalonians:3:11 @ But I hear that there are those of your number who are leading idle and disorderly lives, who are not busy, but mere busybodies.

mnt@2Thessalonians:3:12 @ Now all such I command and entreat, by the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ, to work in quietness. and to earn their own living.

mnt@2Thessalonians:3:16 @ And may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with you all.

mnt@2Thessalonians:3:18 @ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.

mnt@1Timothy:1:1 @ Paul, and apostle of Jesus Christ by command of God our Saviour and Jesus Christ our Hope,

mnt@1Timothy:1:5 @ Now the end of the exhortation is love, out of a pure heart and a good conscience and an undissembled faith.

mnt@1Timothy:1:7 @ Although they desire to be teachers of the law, they understand neither the words they use nor the subjects they talk about.

mnt@1Timothy:1:9 @ but he must remember that the Law is not enacted for a good man, but for the lawless and rebellious, for the irreligious and sinful, for the godless and profane, for parricides and murderers,

mnt@1Timothy:1:11 @ as laid down in the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which has been entrusted to me.

mnt@1Timothy:1:13 @ although I had formerly been a blasphemer and a persecutor and a doer of outrage. But I obtained mercy because I acted ignorantly in unbelief.

mnt@1Timothy:1:14 @ And the grace of our Lord overflowed with faith and love that is in Christ Jesus.

mnt@1Timothy:1:15 @ Faithful is the saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that "Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners"! And there is no greater sinner than I!

mnt@1Timothy:1:16 @ Yet for this very cause I obtained mercy, so that in me, the chief of sinners, Jesus Christ might display all his boundless patience as an illustration for those who should later believe in him, and so gain life eternal.

mnt@1Timothy:1:18 @ This charge then, I am laying upon you, Timothy, my son, according to the predictions formerly made concerning you. Fight the good fight in the spirit of these predictions,

mnt@1Timothy:1:19 @ keeping fast hold of faith and a good conscience; which certain individuals have cast aside, and so made shipwreck of their faith.

mnt@1Timothy:2:1 @ First of all then, I am urging that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be offered regularly for all men;

mnt@1Timothy:2:3 @ For this is good and pleasing in the eyes of our Saviour God,

mnt@1Timothy:2:4 @ whose will it is that all men should be saved, and come into full knowledge of the truth.

mnt@1Timothy:2:6 @ who gave himself as a ransom in behalf of all, to be attested in due time.

mnt@1Timothy:2:7 @ It was for this testimony that I myself was appointed a herald and apostle (I am telling the truth, I am not lying), to be a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

mnt@1Timothy:2:8 @ My wish, then, is that in every place the men should offer prayer, lifting up holy hands, free from anger and disputation;

mnt@1Timothy:2:10 @ but (as becomes women proclaiming godliness) with the ornament of good deeds.

mnt@1Timothy:3:1 @ This is a faithful saying, "If any man is seeking the office of a minister he is aspiring to a noble task."

mnt@1Timothy:3:2 @ The minister should be a man of blameless character; he should be husband of but one wife; he should live a sober, self-restrained, orderly life; he should be hospitable, skilled in teaching;

mnt@1Timothy:3:5 @ For if a man does not know how to rule his own household, how shall he take charge of a church of God?

mnt@1Timothy:3:6 @ He must not be a recent convert, lest he be blinded with pride, and incur the doom of the devil.

mnt@1Timothy:3:7 @ He should also have a good reputation among outsiders, lest he fall into reproach, and into a snare of the devil.

mnt@1Timothy:3:8 @ Deacons, likewise, must be serious, not double-tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of gain,

mnt@1Timothy:3:9 @ holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.

mnt@1Timothy:3:12 @ Let deacons be the husband of but one wife, men who rule their children and their household properly.

mnt@1Timothy:3:13 @ For those who have well discharged the duties of a deacon are gaining an honorable position for themselves, as well as much fearless confidence in the faith of Christ Jesus.

mnt@1Timothy:3:15 @ I am writing this to you in case I should be detained, to let you see how you ought to behave in the household of God - the Church of the everliving God, the pillar and mainstay of the truth.

mnt@1Timothy:3:16 @ Yes! without contradiction, great is the mystery of godliness!

mnt@1Timothy:4:1 @ Now the Spirit distinctly declares that in latter days there will be some who will fall away from the faith, by listening to spirits of error, and to teachings of demons

mnt@1Timothy:4:3 @ who discourage marriage, and enjoin abstinence from foods which God created to be received with thankfulness, by those who believe, and have a clear knowledge of the truth.

mnt@1Timothy:4:5 @ For it is sanctified by the Word of God and by prayer.

mnt@1Timothy:4:6 @ As you lay all these things before the brothers, you will be a noble minister of Christ Jesus, nourishing yourself in the precepts of the faith and that noble teaching which you have followed.

mnt@1Timothy:4:7 @ Ever reject these profane and old womanish myths; and continually train yourself for the contest of godliness.

mnt@1Timothy:4:8 @ For physical training is of some small service, but godliness is of service in everything; since it carries with it a promise of life, both here and hereafter.

mnt@1Timothy:4:9 @ Faithful is the saying, and worthy of all acceptation.

mnt@1Timothy:4:10 @ "We toil and agonize because our hopes are set on the ever-living God, who is the Saviour of all men. - of believers in particular.

mnt@1Timothy:4:12 @ Let no one despise you on account of your youth, but become an example for the faithful in word, in life, in love, in faith, in purity.

mnt@1Timothy:4:14 @ Never neglect the gift within you, which was given in fulfilment of prophecy at the time of the laying on of hands by the elders.

mnt@1Timothy:5:9 @ A widow, to be placed upon the list, must be not less than sixty years old, and one who has been the wife of but one husband.

mnt@1Timothy:5:10 @ She must be well reputed for good works, as one who has brought up a family, received strangers with hospitality, washed the feet of the saints, relieved the distressed, and diligently followed every good work.

mnt@1Timothy:5:17 @ Let the elders who fill their offices well, be held worthy of twofold honor; especially those who have the task of preaching and teaching.

mnt@1Timothy:5:19 @ Do not receive an accusation against an elder, except on the testimony of two or three witnesses.

mnt@1Timothy:5:20 @ Rebuke offenders publicly, so that others also may take warning.

mnt@1Timothy:5:21 @ I charge you solemnly in the presence of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ and of the elect angels, that you observe these things without prejudice against any man, and do nothing out of partiality.

mnt@1Timothy:5:22 @ Never ordain any one hastily, nor take part in the wrong-doing of others. Keep yourself pure.

mnt@1Timothy:5:23 @ Do not continue to drink nothing but water, but take a little wine for your stomachs sake, and your frequent attacks of illness.

mnt@1Timothy:6:1 @ Let those who are under the yoke as slaves esteem their masters as worthy of all honor, so that the name of God and the teachings be not blasphemed.

mnt@1Timothy:6:2 @ Those whose masters are Christian believers must not treat them with disrespect, because they are brothers; nay, rather slave for them the better because those who get the benefit of their services are believing and beloved. Continue to teach and preach this.

mnt@1Timothy:6:3 @ If any one teaches heterodoxy, and refuses to consent to the wholesome words of the Lord Jesus Christ, and to the teachings of religion,

mnt@1Timothy:6:4 @ he is puffed up with conceit and knows nothing, but is doting about disputations and a strife of words. These give rise to envy, quarrels, railings, evil suspicions,

mnt@1Timothy:6:5 @ and wrangling between men whose minds are corrupt and destitute of the truth; who suppose that godliness is a source of gain.

mnt@1Timothy:6:9 @ Those who desire to be rich fall into the snares of temptation and many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.

mnt@1Timothy:6:10 @ For the love of money is a source of all kinds of evil; and in their eager desire to be rich some have been led astray form the faith, and have pierced themselves with many sorrows.

mnt@1Timothy:6:11 @ But you, O servant of God, flee from these things, and run after integrity, piety, faith, love, stedfastness, gentleness.

mnt@1Timothy:6:12 @ Keep contending in the noble contest of the faith; seize hold on eternal life, to which you were called when you confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.

mnt@1Timothy:6:13 @ In the presence of God who gives life to all, and of Christ Jesus who bore witness to the good confession before Pontius Pilate,

mnt@1Timothy:6:14 @ I charge you, keep your commission spotless and irreproachable until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ.

mnt@1Timothy:6:15 @ For in his own good time this will be brought about by that blessed and only potentate, King of kings and Lord of lords,

mnt@1Timothy:6:17 @ Charge the rich of this world not to be supercilious, nor to trust in uncertain riches, but in God, who provides all things richly for our use.

mnt@1Timothy:6:20 @ O, Timothy, guard the treasure which is committed to you. Shun the profane babblings and contradictions of the falsely called "knowledge"

mnt@1Timothy:6:21 @ which some professing have erred from the faith. Grace be with you.

mnt@2Timothy:1:1 @ Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus, by the will of God, sent forth to proclaim the promise of the life which is in Christ Jesus.

mnt@2Timothy:1:5 @ I have been reminded of that sincere faith which is in your heart; which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice, and, I am fully persuaded, dwells in you also.

mnt@2Timothy:1:6 @ For this reason let me remind you to keep ever blazing that gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands.

mnt@2Timothy:1:7 @ For God has not given us a spirit of cowardice, but a spirit of power and of love and of self-control.

mnt@2Timothy:1:8 @ Do not then be ashamed to bear witness for our Lord, nor for me, his prisoner. Nay, join with me in suffering for the gospel by the power of God.

mnt@2Timothy:1:9 @ He has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not dealing with us according to our works,but according to his purpose and grace which he gave us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time.

mnt@2Timothy:1:10 @ This has now been made manifest through the appearing of our Saviour Christ Jesus, who has put an end to death, and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.

mnt@2Timothy:1:11 @ Of the gospel I was appointed a herald, apostle, and teacher; and that is the reason I am now undergoing these sufferings.

mnt@2Timothy:1:13 @ Hold fast the pattern of sound teaching you have heard from me in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

mnt@2Timothy:1:14 @ Guard the glorious trust which has been committed to you by the aid of the Holy Spirit who makes his home in us.

mnt@2Timothy:1:16 @ The Lord show mercy to the house hold of Onesiphorus; for many a time he refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain.

mnt@2Timothy:2:2 @ The teachings which you have heard from me, attested by many witnesses, deliver into the keeping of faithful men, who in their turn will be able to teach others also.

mnt@2Timothy:2:3 @ Take your share in suffering as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.

mnt@2Timothy:2:4 @ A soldier in active service avoids entangling himself in the every- day affairs of life, so that he may please his commander.

mnt@2Timothy:2:5 @ And again, an athlete is not crowned unless he obeys the rules of the game.

mnt@2Timothy:2:6 @ The farmer who has done the work should be the first to get a share of the crop.

mnt@2Timothy:2:8 @ Always remember that Jesus Christ, a descendant of David, has been raised from the dead according to the gospel I proclaim.

mnt@2Timothy:2:10 @ But Gods message is no prisoner. That is why I endure everything for the sake of the chosen, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

mnt@2Timothy:2:14 @ Always call these truths to mens mind; adjuring them in the presence of God to avoid controversy. It is a useless thing, and subverts those who listen to it.

mnt@2Timothy:2:15 @ Strive earnestly to present yourself unto God, tested and proved worthy by trial, a workman unashamed, ever cutting a straight path for the message of the truth.

mnt@2Timothy:2:16 @ but avoid profane babble; for people will go farther and farther in impiety,

mnt@2Timothy:2:18 @ Among such are Hymenaeus and Philetus, who have gone astray concerning the truth by declaring that the resurrection is already past; and they are undermining the faith of some.

mnt@2Timothy:2:19 @ Nevertheless Gods firm foundation stands unshaken, bearing this inscription, THE LORD KNOWS THOSE WHO ARE HIS, and this also, LET EVERY ONE WHO NAMES THE NAME OF THE LORD RENOUNCE WICKEDNESS.

mnt@2Timothy:2:20 @ Now in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay, some for noble, some for ignoble uses.

mnt@2Timothy:2:21 @ If then a man keeps himself clear of these latter, he will be a vessel for honor, consecrated, useful to the Master, prepared for every good work.

mnt@2Timothy:2:22 @ Flee from the passions of youth, but run after righteousness, faith, love, and peace, in company with those who out of a pure heart call upon the Lord.

mnt@2Timothy:2:24 @ The Lords slave must not quarrel, but must be kind to all men; a skilful teacher, patient of wrong.

mnt@2Timothy:2:25 @ He must be gentle when instructing opponents; for possibly God may give them a change of mind for the recognition of the truth,

mnt@2Timothy:2:26 @ and they may come to their senses again, and escape the snare of the devil, as they are restored to life by God to do his will.

mnt@2Timothy:3:1 @ But of this be sure. In the last days grievous times will come.

mnt@2Timothy:3:4 @ They will hate goodness, they will be treacherous, reckless, blinded with pride, lovers of pleasure, rather than lovers of God.

mnt@2Timothy:3:5 @ For although they keep up the outward form of religion, they deny its power.

mnt@2Timothy:3:6 @ Turn away from all such. Some of them creep into private houses and lead captive silly women who, laden with sins,

mnt@2Timothy:3:7 @ and led captive by ever-changing impulses, are always learning but never able to arrive at knowledge of truth.

mnt@2Timothy:3:9 @ But they will not get on; for their folly will be made as openly manifest to all as was that of Jannes and Jambres.

mnt@2Timothy:3:11 @ as well as the persecutions and sufferings which befell me at Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra. You know all the persecutions I endured, and how the Lord delivered me out of them all!

mnt@2Timothy:3:16 @ Every Scripture, seeing that it is God-breathed, is also profitable for teaching, for refutation, for correction, and for training in righteousness,

mnt@Hebrews:1:3 @ He being an emanation of Gods glory and stamp of his substance, and upholding the universe by the utterances of his power, after by himself making purification of our sins, has taken his seat on the right hand of the Majesty on High.

mnt@Hebrews:1:6 @ And further, when he brought the firstborn into the habitable world, he said, Let all the angels of God worship him.

mnt@Hebrews:1:7 @ While of the angels he said, He makes his angels into winds, His ministering servants into flames of fire.

mnt@Hebrews:1:8 @ But to the Son he says. Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever, And the scepter of thy kingdom is the scepter of justice.

mnt@Hebrews:1:9 @ Thou hast loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; Therefore did God, thy God, anoint thee with the oil of gladness beyond thy comrades.

mnt@Hebrews:1:10 @ And, Thou, O Lord, in the beginning didst lay the foundations of the earth, And the heavens are the work of thy hands.

mnt@Hebrews:1:13 @ To which of the angels has he ever said, Sit at my right hand, Till I make thy foes a footstool for thy feet?

mnt@Hebrews:1:14 @ Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth for service in behalf of those who are about to inherit salvation?

mnt@Hebrews:2:2 @ For if the word uttered through angels stood firm, so that every transgression and act of disobedience met with its just retribution, how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation?

mnt@Hebrews:2:4 @ God himself corroborating their testimony by signs and wonders and a variety of miraculous powers, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit imparted in accordance with his own will.

mnt@Hebrews:2:5 @ It is not to angels that God subjected the age to be, of which we are speaking.

mnt@Hebrews:2:6 @ But some one, somewhere, testified, saying. What is Man, that thou art mindful of him? Or any man, that thou carest for him?

mnt@Hebrews:2:7 @ Thou hast made him only a little lower that the angels; With glory and honor hast thou crowned him; And hast set him to govern the works of thy hands;

mnt@Hebrews:2:9 @ What we do see is Jesus, who was made for a time a little lower than the angels, now crowned with glory and honor, because of the suffering of death, in order that through Gods grace he might taste death for every man.

mnt@Hebrews:2:10 @ For it befitted him, for whom and through whom all things exist, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the Pioneer of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

mnt@Hebrews:2:12 @ I will proclaim thy name to my brothers; In the midst of the Church I will hymn thy praises.

mnt@Hebrews:2:14 @ Therefore, since the children are sharers in flesh and blood, he also similarly partook of the same, in order that through death he might render powerless him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;

mnt@Hebrews:2:15 @ And might deliver those who through fear of death had been subject to life-long bondage.

mnt@Hebrews:2:16 @ For assuredly it is not angels, nay, it is the offspring of Abraham, whom he is ever taking by the hand.

mnt@Hebrews:2:17 @ And so it was necessary that he should in all points be made like his brothers, so that he might become a compassionate and faithful high priest, in all that relates to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.

mnt@Hebrews:3:1 @ Therefore, holy brothers, comrades of a heavenly calling, fix your thoughts then upon Jesus, the Apostle and High Priest of our confession.

mnt@Hebrews:3:3 @ Jesus has been counted worthy of greater glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who has built a house has higher honor than the house itself.

mnt@Hebrews:3:6 @ but Christ as a Son in his own house; and we are that house, if we retain the cheerful courage and pride of our hope firm unto the end.

mnt@Hebrews:3:8 @ Continue not to harden your hearts as in the Provocation, On the day of temptation in the wilderness,

mnt@Hebrews:3:12 @ See to it, brothers, that there shall never be in any one of you an evil and unbelieving heart, manifesting itself in apostasy from the living God.

mnt@Hebrews:3:13 @ On the contrary, encourage each other daily, so long as there is a "Today," so that no one of you is hindered by the deceitfulness of sin.

mnt@Hebrews:3:14 @ For we are become comrades of the Christ, if we hold our first title deed firm until the very end.

mnt@Hebrews:3:15 @ In the words of Scripture, Today, if you hear his voice, Do not continue to harden your hearts as at the Provocation.

mnt@Hebrews:3:16 @ For who were they that heard and yet provoked him? Was it not all who came out of Egypt under the leadership of Moses?

mnt@Hebrews:4:1 @ Let us be on our guard, then, though there is a promise still standing of being admitted to his rest, lest any one of you should be found to have come short of it.

mnt@Hebrews:4:2 @ For the Good News is come to us just as it did to them. But the message they heard was of no benefit to them, because they did not share the faith of those who gave heed to it.

mnt@Hebrews:4:3 @ We are actually entering into that rest, we who have believed, as God has said, -In my wrath I swore - "They shall not enter into my Rest," although his works were finished since the foundation of the world.

mnt@Hebrews:4:6 @ Since, then, it remains that some should enter into it, and since those who formerly had the Good News preached to them did not enter in because of unbelief,

mnt@Hebrews:4:8 @ For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not have spoken afterward of another day.

mnt@Hebrews:4:9 @ So there remains a Sabbath Rest for the people of God.

mnt@Hebrews:4:11 @ Let us, then, be earnest to enter into that rest, so that no one may fall into the same example of disobedience.

mnt@Hebrews:4:12 @ For living is the Word of God, and active, and sharper than any two- edged sword, piercing even to the severance of soul form spirit, of both joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the very thoughts and conceptions of the heart.

mnt@Hebrews:4:13 @ And there is not a creature hidden form him, but all things are naked and laid prostrate before the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

mnt@Hebrews:4:14 @ Inasmuch, then, as we have a great High Priest, Jesus, the Son of God, who has passed through the heavens, let us hold fast our confession of faith.

mnt@Hebrews:4:16 @ Let us, then, draw near with glad boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and find grace to help us in our times of need.

mnt@Hebrews:5:1 @ For every high priest chosen from time to time from among men is appointed on behalf of men, in matters relating to God, to offer both gifts and sacrifices on behalf of sins.

mnt@Hebrews:5:3 @ and because of this weakness he is bound to offer sin-offerings not only for the people, but also for himself.

mnt@Hebrews:5:4 @ Again no one takes this honorable office for himself, but he is called by God, just as Aaron was.

mnt@Hebrews:5:5 @ So even the Christ was not raised to the high glory of the priesthood by himself, but on the contrary by Him who said to him. Thou art my Son; this day have I become thy Father;

mnt@Hebrews:5:6 @ and again, Thou art a priest forever, after the order of Melchisedek.

mnt@Hebrews:5:7 @ In the days of his flesh, with better cries and weeping Jesus offered up prayers and supplications to Him who was able to save him out of death; and he was heard because of his devout submission.

mnt@Hebrews:5:9 @ and by being thus made perfect, he became the source of enduring salvation to all who obey him,

mnt@Hebrews:5:10 @ while God himself pronounced him High Priest according to the order of Melchisedek.

mnt@Hebrews:5:11 @ Concerning him I have much to say, and much that is hard to make clear to you, because you have grown dull of hearing.

mnt@Hebrews:5:12 @ And this too, although you ought by this time to be teaching others, you are still needing some one to teach you the very rudiments of divine revelation. You need milk, not solid food.

mnt@Hebrews:5:13 @ For every one who feeds on milk is inexperienced in the word of righteousness. He is still an infant.

mnt@Hebrews:6:1 @ So let us get beyond the teaching of the elementary doctrines of Christ, and let us be borne along toward what is mature. Let us not be continually laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works,

mnt@Hebrews:6:2 @ of faith in God, of the teaching regarding ablutions and the laying on of hands, of the resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.

mnt@Hebrews:6:4 @ For in the case of those who have been once for all enlightened and have tasted of the heavenly gift,

mnt@Hebrews:6:5 @ and become partakers of the Holy Spirit, and tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the Future Age,

mnt@Hebrews:6:6 @ and then fallen away, it is impossible to renew them again unto repentance. For they repeatedly crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and expose him to an open shame.

mnt@Hebrews:6:8 @ but if it produces thorns and thistles, it is considered worthless, and is in danger of being cursed, and its end will be to be burned.

mnt@Hebrews:6:9 @ But though we thus speak, we are persuaded better things of you, beloved, and things that accompany salvation.

mnt@Hebrews:6:11 @ but I am longing that each of you continue to show the same diligence to realize the fulness of your hope, even to the end.

mnt@Hebrews:6:12 @ Then do not become slack, but be imitators of those who through faith and patience are inheriting the promises.

mnt@Hebrews:6:16 @ I am referring to the oath because men swear by what is greater than themselves, and in every dispute of theirs the oath is final for confirmation.

mnt@Hebrews:6:17 @ On which principle God, wishing to show more convincingly to the heirs of the promise the immutability of his purpose, mediated with an oath;

mnt@Hebrews:6:18 @ that by means of two immutable things - his promise and his oath - in which it is impossible for God to break faith, we refugees may have strong encouragement to grasp the hope set before us.

mnt@Hebrews:6:19 @ This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, secure and strong, and passing into the sanctuary which is beyond the veil;

mnt@Hebrews:6:20 @ whither Jesus himself is entered as a forerunner on our behalf, having become a priest forever, after the order of Melchisedek.

mnt@Hebrews:7:1 @ It was this Melchisedek, King of Salem and Priest of the Most High God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him;

mnt@Hebrews:7:2 @ and it was to him that Abraham apportioned a tithe of all the spoil. He was first, as his name signifies, King of righteousness, and then King of Salem, that is, King of Peace;

mnt@Hebrews:7:3 @ without father or mother, without lineage, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but resembling the Son of God, he remains a priest in perpetuity.

mnt@Hebrews:7:4 @ But observe how great this man was, to whom even Abraham, the Patriarch, gave a tenth part of the spoils.

mnt@Hebrews:7:5 @ Now those of the sons of Levi who are appointed to the priesthood, are authorized by the Law to take tithes of the people, that is, of their brothers, and that too, although these are descended from Abraham.

mnt@Hebrews:7:6 @ But this man who had no Levitical genealogy actually took tithes of Abraham, and blessed him to whom the promises belong.

mnt@Hebrews:7:8 @ Again it is mortal men who receive tithes in the one case; while in the other it is he of whom it is attested, "He lives."

mnt@Hebrews:7:9 @ And even Levi, who is the receiver of tithes, so to speak, paid tithes through Abraham;

mnt@Hebrews:7:10 @ for Levi was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedek met Abraham.

mnt@Hebrews:7:11 @ Now if there were perfection through the Levitical priesthood, (and it was under it that the people received the Law) why was it still necessary for another kind of priest to arise, after the order of Melchisedek, instead of being reckoned according to the order of Aaron?

mnt@Hebrews:7:12 @ For when the priesthood changes, of necessity the law also changes.

mnt@Hebrews:7:13 @ He who is thus described belonged to another tribe, not one member of which has ever served at the altar.

mnt@Hebrews:7:14 @ For it is evident that our Lord was descended from Judah, a tribe of which Moses said nothing concerning the priesthood.

mnt@Hebrews:7:15 @ And this is yet more abundantly clear if, after the likeness of Melchisedek, there arises another Priest,

mnt@Hebrews:7:16 @ who has become such, not according to the law of a transitory enactment, but according to the energy of an indissoluble life.

mnt@Hebrews:7:17 @ For the words are in evidence, Thou art a priest forever after the order of Melchisedek.

mnt@Hebrews:7:18 @ For there is a setting aside of a foregoing commandment, because of its weakness and unprofitableness

mnt@Hebrews:7:19 @ (for the Law brought nothing to perfection); and there is the bringing in of a better hope by which we draw near to God;

mnt@Hebrews:7:22 @ And by so much Jesus becomes the guarantor of a better covenant.

mnt@Hebrews:7:24 @ but he, because of his abiding forever, holds his priesthood inviolable.

mnt@Hebrews:7:27 @ one who has no need, like the high priests, to offer up daily sacrifices, first for his own sins, then for those of the people. For his sacrifice was made once for all, when he offered up himself.

mnt@Hebrews:7:28 @ For the Law appoints human beings to be high priests, men with all their weakness; but the word of the oath, which was later than the Law, appoints a Son, perfected forevermore.

mnt@Hebrews:8:1 @ The pith of all that we have been saying is this; we do have such a High Priest; and he has taken his seat on the right hand of the throne of Majesty in the heavens,

mnt@Hebrews:8:2 @ a minister of the sanctuary and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, not man.

mnt@Hebrews:8:3 @ For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices; whence it follows that this High Priest also must have some offering to make.

mnt@Hebrews:8:5 @ those priests who serve a mere outline and shadow of the heavenly reality, just as Moses was divinely instructed when he was about to build the Tabernacle. "See", he says, "that you make everything on the pattern showed you on the mountain."

mnt@Hebrews:8:6 @ But Jesus has obtained a better ministry, by so much as he is also Mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted upon better promises.

mnt@Hebrews:8:8 @ But finding fault with them, He says. "There are days coming," says the Lord, "When I will establish with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah a new covenant;

mnt@Hebrews:8:9 @ Not according tot he covenant which I made with their forefathers, On the day when I took them by the hand to lead them forth out of the land of Egypt; For they did not continue in my covenant, And therefore I disregarded them," says the Lord.

mnt@Hebrews:8:10 @ "For this is the covenant which I will covenant with the house of Israel, After these days," says the Lord; "I will put my laws into their minds, And upon their hearts will I write them; And I will be their God, And they shall be my people;

mnt@Hebrews:8:11 @ And they shall not teach every man his fellow citizen, And every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord; For all shall know me, From the least to the greatest of them.

mnt@Hebrews:9:1 @ Now even the first covenant had its ordinances of public worship, and its sanctuary, a material one.

mnt@Hebrews:9:2 @ For a tent was built, the outer one called the Holy Place, in which were the lamp and the table and the loaves of the Presence;

mnt@Hebrews:9:3 @ and behind the second veil was the tent called the Holy of Holies.

mnt@Hebrews:9:4 @ In it was the golden altar of incense, and also the Ark of the Covenant covered all over with gold, in which was a golden pot holding the manna, and Aarons rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant;

mnt@Hebrews:9:5 @ while above it, overshadowing the mercy-seat, were the cherubim of glory. But I must not speak about these in detail.

mnt@Hebrews:9:6 @ Such then were the arrangements. Into the outer tent the priests enter continually in the performance of their duties;

mnt@Hebrews:9:7 @ but into the inner tent the high priest only goes alone, once a year, and that not without blood, which he offers for himself and for the ignorances of the people.

mnt@Hebrews:9:9 @ This is a parable, for the present time, according to which gifts and sacrifices are offered that are not able, as far as conscience is concerned, to perfect the worshiper;

mnt@Hebrews:9:10 @ since they consist only in meats and drinks and various ablutions, carnal ordinances, imposed until the time of reformation.

mnt@Hebrews:9:11 @ But when Christ came, a High Priest of good things to come, he passed through the greater and more perfect tent not made with hands, that is to say, not of this material creation,

mnt@Hebrews:9:12 @ not taking the blood of goats and oxen, but his own blood, and entered once for all into the Holy Place, obtaining for us an eternal redemption.

mnt@Hebrews:9:13 @ For if the blood of bulls and goats and the ashes of a heifer sprinkled on those who have been defiled, sanctify to the cleansing of the flesh,

mnt@Hebrews:9:14 @ how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through his eternal spirit offered himself free from blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works unto the service of an ever-living God!

mnt@Hebrews:9:15 @ And because of this he is the Mediator of a new testament, in order that, since a death has taken place to atone for offenses committed under the first testament, those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.

mnt@Hebrews:9:16 @ For where there is a testament, there must also be brought forward in evidence the death of the testator.

mnt@Hebrews:9:17 @ For a testament is only of force in case of the dead, being never valid so long as the testator lives.

mnt@Hebrews:9:19 @ For after every commandment according to the law had been spoken by Moses to the people, he took the blood of calves and goats, and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people.

mnt@Hebrews:9:20 @ saying, This is the blood of that testament which God commanded in regard to you.

mnt@Hebrews:9:21 @ Moreover the tabernacle and all the vessels of service he sprinkled likewise, and indeed, according to the Law,

mnt@Hebrews:9:22 @ almost everything is purified by blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sins.

mnt@Hebrews:9:23 @ While, then, it was necessary that the copies of the heavenly things should be cleansed by such sacrifices, the heavenly things themselves required nobler sacrifices than these.

mnt@Hebrews:9:24 @ For it was not into a Sanctuary made by hands, a mere type of the reality, that Christ entered, but he entered into heaven itself, now to appear in the very presence of God on our behalf.

mnt@Hebrews:9:25 @ Nor did he enter to offer himself repeatedly, as the high priest entered into the sanctuary, year after year, with blood that was not his own; (for in that case he would have needed to suffer repeatedly, ever since the foundation of the world;)but now, once for all, at the end of the ages, he has appeared to abolish sin, but the offering of himself.

mnt@Hebrews:9:28 @ so also the Christ, after being once for all offered to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, without sin, to those who wait for him for salvation.

mnt@Hebrews:10:1 @ For the Law, being only a shadow of the good things to come, and not their very substance, its priests cannot with the same sacrifice which year after year they offer continually, make perfect those who draw near.

mnt@Hebrews:10:2 @ Otherwise would they not have ceased to be offered? Because the worshippers having been once cleansed, would have had no more consciousness of sin.

mnt@Hebrews:10:4 @ For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sin.

mnt@Hebrews:10:5 @ It is for this reason that the Christ, on coming into the world, declared. Sacrifice and offerings thou dost not desire, But a body didst thou prepare for me;

mnt@Hebrews:10:6 @ In whole burnt offerings and sin offerings Thou hast taken no pleasure.

mnt@Hebrews:10:7 @ Then I said, "I am come - in the roll of the book it is written of me- -To do thy will, O God."

mnt@Hebrews:10:8 @ First when it is said, Thou hast no longing for, thou takest no delight in Sacrifices and offerings, or whole burnt offerings and sin offerings,

mnt@Hebrews:10:9 @ (offerings regularly made under the law), and then it is added, Lo, I come to do thy will, he does away with the first, in order that he may establish the second.

mnt@Hebrews:10:10 @ And it is by this will that we have been sanctified by the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

mnt@Hebrews:10:12 @ this Priest, after offering one Sacrifice for sins, sat down forever on Gods right hand;

mnt@Hebrews:10:13 @ henceforth waiting until his enemies be put as the footstool of his feet.

mnt@Hebrews:10:14 @ For by one single offering he has perfected forever those whom he is sanctifying.

mnt@Hebrews:10:18 @ But when these have been remitted, there is no more any offering for sin.

mnt@Hebrews:10:19 @ Since, then, we have a cheerful confidence, brothers, to enter into the Holiest by the blood of Jesus,

mnt@Hebrews:10:21 @ and since we have a great High Priest over the house of God;

mnt@Hebrews:10:22 @ let us draw near with a true heart, in full assurance of faith, our hearts sprinkled from and evil conscience, and our bodies bathed in pure water.

mnt@Hebrews:10:23 @ Let us hold fast the confession of our hope, unwavering (for He is faithful who promised);

mnt@Hebrews:10:25 @ not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the custom of some, but exhorting one another; all the more as you behold the Day drawing near.

mnt@Hebrews:10:26 @ For if we sin wilfully, after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains any other sacrifice for sins,

mnt@Hebrews:10:27 @ but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a fiery indignation which is about to devour the adversaries.

mnt@Hebrews:10:28 @ Any one who set at naught the law of Moses was put to death without pity, on the testimony of two or three witnesses.

mnt@Hebrews:10:29 @ How much surer, think you, will be the punishment of one who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and has profaned that covenant blood with which he was sanctified, and has done despite to the spirit of grace?

mnt@Hebrews:10:31 @ IT IS A FEARFUL THING TO FALL INTO THE HANDS OF THE LIVING GOD!

mnt@Hebrews:10:32 @ But ever call to mind the former days, in which, after having been enlightened, you endured a great conflict of sufferings;

mnt@Hebrews:10:33 @ partly by being made a public spectacle in reproaches and afflictions, and partly by sharing the fortunes of those that were so used.

mnt@Hebrews:10:34 @ For you did sympathize with the prisoners, and you did take joyfully the confiscation of your goods; conscious that you had for yourselves greater, even lasting possessions.

mnt@Hebrews:10:35 @ Now do not fling away your bold confidence, for it has a great recompense of reward.

mnt@Hebrews:10:36 @ For you need stedfastness, so that after having done the will of God, you may receive the promise,

mnt@Hebrews:10:39 @ "But we are not of defections unto perdition, but of faith unto the gaining of the soul."

mnt@Hebrews:11:1 @ Now faith is the title-deed of things hoped for; the putting to the proof of things not seen.

mnt@Hebrews:11:2 @ For by it men of old times had witness borne to them.

mnt@Hebrews:11:3 @ By faith we understand that the world was fashioned by the Word of God, so that what we see was not made out of what is visible.

mnt@Hebrews:11:4 @ By faith Abel offered to God a sacrifice more acceptable than that of Cain, through which he had witness borne to him that he was righteous, God giving the testimony by accepting his gifts; and through it he, although he is dead, still speaks.

mnt@Hebrews:11:7 @ By faith Noah, warned of God of things not yet seen, reverently gave heed, and built an ark for the saving of his house; by which he condemned the world, and became an heir of the righteousness which is of faith.

mnt@Hebrews:11:9 @ It was by faith that he sojourned in the promised land as an alien, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, his fellow heirs of the same promise.

mnt@Hebrews:11:12 @ and thus there sprang from one man, and him practically dead, a nation like the stars in the heavens in multitude, or grains of sand upon the seashore, innumerable.

mnt@Hebrews:11:15 @ And if they had cherished the memory of that land from which they went out, they would have found an opportunity to return;

mnt@Hebrews:11:17 @ By faith Abraham, when he was put to the test, was on the point of offering up Isaac; yes, he who had received the promise was about to offer up his only son,

mnt@Hebrews:11:18 @ of whom it had been said, It is through Isaac that your posterity will be traced.

mnt@Hebrews:11:21 @ By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of Josephs sons, and worshiped, leaning on the top of his staff.

mnt@Hebrews:11:22 @ By faith Joseph, when his end was nigh, made mention of the exodus of the children of Israel, and gave instructions in regard to his bones.

mnt@Hebrews:11:23 @ By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months by his parents, because they saw that he was a beautiful child, and they were not afraid of the kings decree.

mnt@Hebrews:11:24 @ By faith Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaohs daughter,

mnt@Hebrews:11:25 @ choosing rather to share ill-treatment with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season.

mnt@Hebrews:11:26 @ He accounted the obloquy of Christ to be greater than the treasures of Egypt; for he fixed his eyes on the reward.

mnt@Hebrews:11:27 @ By faith he left Egypt, not because he feared the wrath of the king, but he endured as seeing Him who is invisible.

mnt@Hebrews:11:30 @ By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they had been encircled seven days.

mnt@Hebrews:11:32 @ And what more shall I say? for time would fail me to tell of Gideon, of Barak, of Samson, and of Jeptha; of David and Samuel and the prophets,

mnt@Hebrews:11:33 @ who through faith conquered kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,

mnt@Hebrews:11:34 @ quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, proved valiant in warfare, and routed armies of aliens.

mnt@Hebrews:12:1 @ Seeing then that we are encircled with this great cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and the sin that clings about us. Let us run with patience the race that is set before us,

mnt@Hebrews:12:2 @ looking unto Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured a cross, despising shame, and has now taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of God.

mnt@Hebrews:12:3 @ Compare yourselves with him who endured such hostility against himself at the hands of sinners, lest you grow weary, fainting in your souls.

mnt@Hebrews:12:5 @ and have you forgotten the exhortation which reasons with you as sons? My son, do not despise the training of the Lord, Nor faint when he corrects you;

mnt@Hebrews:12:9 @ Furthermore, our earthly fathers used to discipline us, and we gave them reverence. Shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of spirits, and live?

mnt@Hebrews:12:10 @ For they only disciplined us for a few days, as seemed good to them; but he does it for our profit, that we may share his holiness.

mnt@Hebrews:12:19 @ nor to gloom and darkness and tempest and the blare of a trumpet and an audible voice. Those who heard that voice entreated that no word more should be spoken to them.

mnt@Hebrews:13:5 @ Let your life be untainted by love of money; be content with such things as you have; for God himself has said, I will never leave thee; I will never forsake thee.

mnt@James:1:3 @ because you know that the testing of your faith is working out endurance.

mnt@James:1:5 @ If any one of you is lacking in wisdom, let him ask it from the God who gives to all men freely and without upbraiding; and it will be given to him.

mnt@James:1:6 @ But let him ask in faith, without wavering; for he who wavers is like a surge of the sea, wind-driven and tossed.

mnt@James:1:10 @ but a rich brother, in his humiliation; because like the flower of the grass the rich man will pass away.

mnt@James:1:11 @ For as the sun comes up with a burning heat, it withers the grass, and its flowers fall, and the grace of the fashion of it perishes; so also shall the rich man fade away amid his pursuits.

mnt@James:1:12 @ Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love him.

mnt@James:1:17 @ Every good gift and every perfect boon is from above, and is ever coming down to us from the Father of the heavenly lights, with whom is no variation nor shadow of eclipse.

mnt@James:1:18 @ Because he willed, he gave us birth through the word of truth, so that we should be a kind of first-fruits among his creatures.

mnt@James:1:20 @ for a mans anger does not further the righteous purpose of God.

mnt@James:1:21 @ So strip off all filthiness and superfluity of wickedness, and in meekness receive the implanted Word, which is able to save your souls.

mnt@James:1:22 @ And become doers of the Word, and not merely hearers, deceiving yourselves.

mnt@James:1:23 @ Because if any one is a hearer of the Word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror;

mnt@James:1:25 @ But the man who looks closely into the perfect law - the law of liberty - and continues looking, this man will be blessed in his deed because he is not a hearer who forgets, but a doer who does.

mnt@James:2:1 @ My brothers, do not hold the faith of the Lord Jesus, the Lord of Glory, in a spirit of caste.

mnt@James:2:5 @ Listen, my dear brothers, has not God chosen the poor of this world to be rich in faith, and to inherit the kingdom which he has promised to those who love him?

mnt@James:2:9 @ If you have the spirit of caste you are committing sin, and are convicted by the Law as transgressors.

mnt@James:2:10 @ For if a man keeps the whole of the Law, and yet stumbles in one point, he is guilty of all.

mnt@James:2:12 @ So speak and act like men who are to be judged by the law of liberty.

mnt@James:2:13 @ For judgment is without mercy to the man who has showed no mercy. but mercy glories in the face of judgment.

mnt@James:2:15 @ If a brother or sister be naked and in need of daily food,

mnt@James:2:16 @ and one of you says to them, "Depart in peace, find warmth and food for yourselves," but at the same time you do not give the necessaries of the body, what good would that do them?

mnt@James:2:21 @ Was not Abraham our ancestor justified by deeds, in that he offered up Isaac, his son, upon the altar?

mnt@James:3:2 @ For in many respects we often stumble. If any man never stumbles in speech, the same is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body as well.

mnt@James:3:3 @ When we put bits in the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we control their whole body also.

mnt@James:3:4 @ Look at the ships too, though they are so large, even when driven by fierce winds they are turned by a very small rudder, wherever the impulse of the helmsman wills.

mnt@James:3:6 @ And the tongue is a fire; it is a very world of iniquity among our members, defiling the whole body, and setting on fire the wheel of nature, and is itself set on fire by hell.

mnt@James:3:7 @ For while every kind of beast and bird, and of reptiles and sea- creatures are tamable, and actually have been tamed by mankind,

mnt@James:3:8 @ no man can tame the tongue, restless evil that it is, full of deadly poison.

mnt@James:3:9 @ With it we continually bless our Lord and Father, and with it we are accustomed to curse men made in the image of God.

mnt@James:3:10 @ From out of the same mouth pour forth blessings and cursings! My brothers, this ought not to be so.

mnt@James:3:13 @ Who among you is wise and intelligent? Let him show his deeds by his good life, in the meekness of wisdom.

mnt@James:3:14 @ But if you have bitter jealousy and faction in your heart, do not be boasting of that, and be false to the truth.

mnt@James:3:18 @ And the fruit of righteousness is being sown in peace by those who are working peace.

mnt@James:4:4 @ You adulteresses, do you not know that the friendship of the world is enmity to God? Whoever, then, desires to be a friend of the world, makes himself and enemy of God.

mnt@James:4:11 @ Do not be talking against each other, brothers. He who is talking against a brother and condemning his brothers is talking against the Law and condemning the Law. But if you are condemning the Law, you are not a doer of the Law, but a judge.

mnt@James:4:16 @ But now you are glorying in these insolent boastings of yours; all such glorying is evil.

mnt@James:5:4 @ Look! the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you have been keeping back by fraud, are crying aloud! And the cries of the reapers have entered into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth!

mnt@James:5:5 @ You have lived luxuriously on earth, you have taken your pleasure, you have fattened your hearts for a day of slaughter.

mnt@James:5:7 @ Be patient, then, brothers, till the coming of the Lord. Behold the farmer who waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient over it, until it gets the early and the latter rains.

mnt@James:5:8 @ So you also must be patient. Stablish your hearts; for the coming of the Lord is at hand!

mnt@James:5:10 @ Take, my brothers, for an example the suffering and the patience of the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.

mnt@James:5:11 @ Remember we count those that were stedfast happy. You have heard of the stedfastness of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord with him, seen how the Lord is full of tenderness.

mnt@James:5:13 @ Is any one of you in trouble? Let him pray.

mnt@James:5:14 @ Is any in good spirits? Let him sing unto his harp. Is any one of you ill? Let him send for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, after anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord;

mnt@James:5:15 @ and the prayer of faith will restore the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, it will be forgiven him.

mnt@James:5:16 @ So confess your sins one to another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. For the fervent prayer of a righteous man is mighty in its working.

mnt@James:5:17 @ Elijah was a man of like passions with us, and he prayed again, and the sky gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.

mnt@James:5:19 @ My brothers, if any one of you strays from the truth, and some one brings him back,

mnt@James:5:20 @ let him know that he who brings a sinner back from the error of his ways, saves his soul from death, and hides a multitude of sins.

mnt@1Peter:1:1 @ Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the elect who are sojourners of the dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Roman Asia, and Bithynia,

mnt@1Peter:1:2 @ according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in the sanctification of the spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ; Grace and peace be multiplied to you.

mnt@1Peter:1:3 @ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whose great mercy we have been born anew into a living hope, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead;

mnt@1Peter:1:5 @ who, through faith, are continuously guarded by the power of God for a salvation, ready to be revealed in the last days.

mnt@1Peter:1:7 @ These are in order that the test of your faith, more precious than gold that is perishable and yet is tested by fire, may redound to praise and glory and honor, at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

mnt@1Peter:1:8 @ Him you love, though you have never seen him; in him you ever believe, though even now you see him not, and you are rejoicing with joy unspeakable and full of glory,

mnt@1Peter:1:9 @ as you continually receive the reward of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.

mnt@1Peter:1:11 @ They were searching to know to what time, or to what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them kept pointing, when he ever testified beforehand concerning the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow.

mnt@1Peter:1:12 @ It was revealed to them that it was not for themselves, but for you, that they were ministering the truths which have now been announced to you, by those who preached the gospel to you, through the help of the Holy Spirit sent forth from heaven - truths into which angels long to look.

mnt@1Peter:1:13 @ So then brace up your minds, be steady in spirit, and fix your hope firmly in the grace that is coming to you, at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

mnt@1Peter:1:14 @ Like obedient children, do not fashion yourselves according to the former passions of your days of ignorance,

mnt@1Peter:1:15 @ but become yourselves holy in your whole manner of living, as He who has called you is holy,

mnt@1Peter:1:17 @ And since you call upon him as Father, who impartially judges each one according to his deeds, pass the time of your sojourning here in reverence.

mnt@1Peter:1:18 @ For you well know that not with perishable things, with silver or gold, were you redeemed from the emptiness of your manner of life, received by tradition from your ancestors;

mnt@1Peter:1:19 @ but with precious blood, like that of a lamb without spot or blemish, even the blood of Christ.

mnt@1Peter:1:20 @ He was indeed foreknown before the foundation of the world, but was manifested at the end of the times for your sake.

mnt@1Peter:1:23 @ For you have been born anew, not of perishable, but of imperishable seed, by the living, lasting word of God.

mnt@1Peter:1:24 @ For, All flesh is grass And all its glory like the flower of the grass. The grass fades, The flower falls,

mnt@1Peter:1:25 @ But the word of the Lord abides forever. And this is the word of the gospel which has been told to you.

mnt@1Peter:2:1 @ Therefore put away all malice, all deceit, insincerity, jealousy, and slander of every sort.

mnt@1Peter:2:5 @ And yourselves like living stones be built into a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood offering spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God, through Christ Jesus.

mnt@1Peter:2:7 @ For you, then, that believe, is the preciousness; but for those who do not believe, A stone which the builders rejected, The same has become the head stone of the corner,

mnt@1Peter:2:8 @ and, A stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense. They stumble over it because they are disobeying Gods word, and to this they were also appointed.

mnt@1Peter:2:9 @ But you are an elect race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a purchased people, that you may show forth the virtues of Him who has called you out of darkness into his marvelous light -

mnt@1Peter:2:10 @ you who once were not a people, but now are the people of God; who were once without mercy, but now you have found mercy.

mnt@1Peter:2:11 @ I beseech you, beloved, as pilgrims and exiles, to abstain from passions of the flesh that war upon your souls.

mnt@1Peter:2:12 @ Let your manner of life before the Gentiles be honest; so that, although they are now slandering you as evil-doers, they may, by beholding your noble conduct, come to glorify God, in the day of visitation.

mnt@1Peter:2:14 @ or to governors as sent by him for the punishment of evil-doers and for the encouragement of well-doers.

mnt@1Peter:2:15 @ For it is the will of God that by well-doing you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish men.

mnt@1Peter:2:16 @ Live like free men; and yet do not make your freedom a cloak for misconduct, but be the slaves of God.

mnt@1Peter:2:19 @ For it is an acceptable thing to God, if from a sense of duty to him, a man endures a wrong, even suffering unjustly.

mnt@1Peter:2:25 @ For you were straying like lost sheep, but you are now returned to the Shepherd and Guardian of your souls.

mnt@1Peter:3:1 @ In the same way you wives must be submissive to your own husbands; so that if some of them will not believe the message, they may apart from the message be won over by the behavior of their wives,

mnt@1Peter:3:3 @ Your adornment ought not to be the outward adornment of plaited hair and golden jewels and the wearing of beautiful dresses;

mnt@1Peter:3:4 @ but rather that hidden personality of the heart, the imperishable ornament of a quiet and gentle spirit, which in the sight of God is indeed precious.

mnt@1Peter:3:6 @ thus, for example, Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord. And you are daughters of Sarah, if you do what is right, and permit nothing to make you afraid.

mnt@1Peter:3:7 @ In the same way you husbands live with your wives, according to knowledge, honoring your wife as of the weaker sex, yet as an heir with yourself of the grace of life; so that your prayers may not be hindered.

mnt@1Peter:3:12 @ For the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, And his ears are open to their cry; But the face of the Lord is set against evil-doers.

mnt@1Peter:3:14 @ But even if you should suffer in behalf of righteousness, you are happy. Do not be afraid of their terror, neither be troubled.

mnt@1Peter:3:16 @ See that you have a clear conscience, so that, although they speak of you as evil-doers, these libelers of your good Christian lives may be ashamed.

mnt@1Peter:3:20 @ who in old times had been disobedient, when Gods longsuffering was waiting in the days of Noah, while an ark was building, in which a few persons - eight in number - were saved by water.)

mnt@1Peter:3:21 @ Baptism, the counterpart of that, now saves you (not the washing off of the filth of the flesh, but the prayer for a good conscience toward God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

mnt@1Peter:3:22 @ He is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; to Him angels and authorities and powers have been made subject.

mnt@1Peter:4:2 @ so that in future you may not spend your life in the flesh according to mens desires, but in the will of God.

mnt@1Peter:4:3 @ For the time past of life may suffice us to have worked the will of the Gentiles, when we spent our life in lasciviousness, lusts, hard drinking, revelry, banqueting, and abominable idol worship.

mnt@1Peter:4:4 @ They are astonished at this, that you do not run into the same excesses of profligacy as they do; and they speak evil of you.

mnt@1Peter:4:7 @ But the end of all things is close at hand; so be sober, watch and pray.

mnt@1Peter:4:8 @ Above everything have fervent love to one another; for love veils a multitude of sins.

mnt@1Peter:4:10 @ Whatever the gifts which each has received, use them for one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.

mnt@1Peter:4:13 @ But be glad in the degree in which you share in the sufferings of Christ; so that when his glory shall be revealed, you too may be glad with triumphant gladness.

mnt@1Peter:4:14 @ If you are being reproached for the name of Christ, you are blessed, for the spirit of glory and of God is resting upon you.

mnt@1Peter:4:15 @ But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evil-doer, or as a spy upon other peoples business.

mnt@1Peter:4:17 @ It is time for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it first begin with us, what shall be the end of those who are disobedient to the gospel?

mnt@1Peter:4:19 @ So let those who are suffering according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well-doing, as unto a faithful Creator.

mnt@1Peter:5:1 @ Now to you who are presbyters I make this appeal; for I am myself a presbyter, and was a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory about to be revealed.

mnt@1Peter:5:2 @ Be shepherds to your flock of God; take charge of them willingly, and not through compulsion; not for filthy lucre, but with a willing mind;

mnt@1Peter:5:3 @ not by way of lording it over your heritage, but by becoming examples to the flock.

mnt@1Peter:5:4 @ Then, when the Chief Shepherd shall appear, you too will receive the fadeless wreath of glory.

mnt@1Peter:5:5 @ You younger men must submit to the presbyters; and all of you must put on the garment of humility and serve one another, for God resists the haughty, But gives grace to the humble.

mnt@1Peter:5:10 @ But the God of all grace, who has called us by Christ Jesus to share his eternal glory, will, after you have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.

mnt@1Peter:5:12 @ By Sylvanus, a faithful brother of yours, as I suppose, I have written you briefly, to comfort you, and to testify that this is the true grace of God. In this stand fast.

mnt@1Peter:5:14 @ Salute one another with a kiss of love. Peace be to you all who are in Christ Jesus.

mnt@2Peter:1:1 @ Simon Peter, a slave and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained an equally precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ.

mnt@2Peter:1:2 @ Grace and peace be multiplied to you by the God and Father of Jesus our Lord.

mnt@2Peter:1:3 @ For his power divine has granted to us everything needful for life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and virtue.

mnt@2Peter:1:4 @ By these he has granted his promises to us, precious and splendid; so that through them you may become partners of the divine nature, now that you have escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

mnt@2Peter:1:8 @ For if these virtues are yours in abounding measure, they render you not idle nor unfruitful, until you come into the full knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

mnt@2Peter:1:9 @ For the man who lacks these virtues is blind, short-sighted, forgetful of his cleansing from his old sins.

mnt@2Peter:1:11 @ For so the entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ will be richly supplied to you.

mnt@2Peter:1:12 @ I shall therefore be always ready to remind you of all this, even though you know it, and are firmly founded in the truth which is with you.

mnt@2Peter:1:13 @ So I think it right, as long as I am in this "tent," to rouse you by way of reminding you,

mnt@2Peter:1:16 @ For we were not following cunningly devised fables, when we told you of the power and presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we had been eye-witnesses of his Majesty.

mnt@2Peter:1:18 @ and this voice we ourselves heard, borne to us out of heaven, when we were with him on the holy hill.

mnt@2Peter:1:19 @ And so we possess the word of prophecy made yet more sure. Unto this you do well to give heed as to a lamp shining in a dark place, till the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.

mnt@2Peter:1:20 @ But first be assured of this - that no prophecy of Scripture is of private interpretation.

mnt@2Peter:1:21 @ For no prophecy was ever brought by the will of man; but moved by the Holy Spirit, men spoke for God.

mnt@2Peter:2:2 @ Then there will be many who will follow their immorality, because of whom the Way of the Truth will be maligned.

mnt@2Peter:2:3 @ In their covetousness, with cunning words, they will make merchandise of you; those whose doom has not been idle from of old, and whose destruction has not been slumbering.

mnt@2Peter:2:4 @ For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them down to Tartarus, and committed them to chains of darkness, and reserved them for judgment;

mnt@2Peter:2:5 @ if he did not spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah, a herald of righteousness, with seven others, when he brought a flood upon an ungodly world;

mnt@2Peter:2:6 @ if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah and reduced them to ashes, thus holding them up as a warning to all who would live ungodly;

mnt@2Peter:2:7 @ and he delivered righteous Lot who was worn out by the lascivious life of the wicked

mnt@2Peter:2:9 @ then be sure that the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptation, and to keep the wicked (who are even now enduring punishment) for the "Day of Judgment";

mnt@2Peter:2:10 @ especially those who spend their lives following the flesh in the lust of defilement, and in despising all authority. Audacious and wilful, they feel no awe in railing against dignities;

mnt@2Peter:2:12 @ But these men, like irrational creatures, mere animals, born to be taken and destroyed, continually rail about matters of which they know nothing. In their corruption they will surely be destroyed,

mnt@2Peter:2:13 @ suffering wrong as the wage of wrong which they have done. These are men who count it pleasure to carouse in open daylight; they are spots and blemishes reveling in their deceit, even while they are feasting with you.

mnt@2Peter:2:14 @ They have eyes full of harlots, eyes that cannot stop sinning. They entice unsteady souls. Their heart is trained in greed. They are an accursed generation.

mnt@2Peter:2:15 @ They have forsaken the right way; they have lost their way, and followed the road of Balaam, the son of Beor, who loved the wages of wrong-doing.

mnt@2Peter:2:16 @ He was, however, rebuked for his own transgression; a dumb ass spoke with a mans voice, and stopped the madness of the prophet.

mnt@2Peter:2:17 @ Such men are like waterless springs, or mists storm-driven; for them the blackness of darkness has been reserved.

mnt@2Peter:2:18 @ For speaking great swelling words of vanity, they entangle, by their lasciviousness, in the lusts of the flesh, those who are just about to escape from the men that live in misconduct.

mnt@2Peter:2:19 @ They promise them liberty, while they themselves are slaves of rottenness! (For indeed a man is the slave of anything which masters him.)

mnt@2Peter:2:20 @ For if, after having escaped the pollutions of the world, through the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, men are again entangled in them and overpowered, their last state is become worse than their first.

mnt@2Peter:2:21 @ Indeed it would have been better for them not to have known the Way of Righteousness, than, after knowing it, to turn back from the holy command delivered to them.

mnt@2Peter:3:1 @ This is now my second letter to you, beloved. In both of them I am stirring up your pure minds by putting you in remembrance.

mnt@2Peter:3:2 @ I want you to recollect the words that were foretold by the holy prophets, and the command of your Lord and Saviour, given you through your apostles.

mnt@2Peter:3:3 @ Know this first, that mockers will come in the last days, in their mockery, men who walk the way of their own lusts

mnt@2Peter:3:4 @ and say, "Where is the promise of His coming? For since the day that our fathers fell asleep everything continues as it was from the beginning of the creation."

mnt@2Peter:3:5 @ For they willingly ignore the fact that there were heaven, from of old, and an earth formed out of water and through water, by the word of God;

mnt@2Peter:3:6 @ and that by the same means the world which then existed was destroyed by a deluge of water.

mnt@2Peter:3:7 @ But the heavens and earth that now are, by the same word of God, have been reserved for fire, and are being kept for the Day of Judgment, and for the destruction of ungodly men.

mnt@2Peter:3:10 @ But the Day of the Lord will come like a thief; and on that Day the heavens will vanish with a crash, the heavenly bodies will melt with fervent heat, and the earth and all its works will be burned up.

mnt@2Peter:3:11 @ Now since all things are in the process of dissolution, what kind of men ought you to be, in all holy living and piety;

mnt@2Peter:3:12 @ while you look for and hasten the coming of the Day of God. At its coming the heavens, being on fire, will be dissolved, and the heavenly bodies will melt with fervent heat.

mnt@2Peter:3:16 @ It is the same in all his letters when he speaks of these things. There are indeed some things in his letters hard to understand, which the ignorant and the shifty wrest, as also they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.

mnt@2Peter:3:17 @ Do you therefore, beloved, because you know these things beforehand, be on your guard lest you be led astray by the error of the wicked, and so fall from your own stedfastness.

mnt@2Peter:3:18 @ But grow continually in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and unto the Day of Eternity, Amen.

mnt@1John:1:1 @ It is of what has existed from the beginning, of what we have listened to, of what we have seen with our own eyes, of what we have witnessed and touched with our own heads, it is concerning the Logos of Life that we are now writing.

mnt@1John:1:2 @ And the Life was made visible, and we have seen it and are bearing witness, and are bringing you word of that Eternal Life which was face to face with the Father and was made visible to us.

mnt@1John:1:7 @ But is we are passing our life in the light, as he is in the light, we ever have partnership with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ is cleansing us from every sin.

mnt@1John:2:2 @ And he is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world.

mnt@1John:2:5 @ and the truth is not in him; bit if any man obey his word, in him truly is the love of God made perfect. By this we come to know that we are in him.

mnt@1John:2:10 @ But he who loves his brother is abiding in the light, and in it there is no cause of stumbling.

mnt@1John:2:14 @ I have written to you, fathers, because you have learned to know him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God is abiding in you, and you have fully overcome the Evil One.

mnt@1John:2:15 @ Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

mnt@1John:2:16 @ For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the proud glory of life, is not from the Father, but from the world;

mnt@1John:2:17 @ and the world and its lusts are passing away, but he who ever does the will of God abides forever.

mnt@1John:2:19 @ They came forth from us, but they did not belong to us. If they had belonged to us they would certainly have remained with us, but they went out that they might be manifest that they all are not of us.

mnt@1John:2:21 @ I am not writing to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it, and know that no lie is of the truth.

mnt@1John:2:29 @ If you know that he is righteous you know also that every one who habitually practises righteousness has been born of him.

mnt@1John:3:1 @ Behold what manner of love the Father has given us in allowing us to be called "Children of God!" And that is what we are. For this reason the world does not recognize us, because it did not know him.

mnt@1John:3:8 @ He who is committing sin is of the devil, because from the beginning of the devil is sinning. It was for this cause that the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

mnt@1John:3:9 @ Whoever is a child of God cannot go on sinning, because his seed is abiding in him; and he cannot go on sinning because he is a child of God.

mnt@1John:3:10 @ In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil; for every one who does not work righteousness is not a child of God, nor is he who does not love his brother.

mnt@1John:3:14 @ We know that we have migrated, out of death into life, because we love our brothers. He who has no love is abiding in death.

mnt@1John:3:17 @ But whoever has this worlds goods, and beholds his brother in need, and shuts up his heart against him, how can the love of God continue to abide in him?

mnt@1John:3:19 @ By this we shall come to know that we are really of the truth,

mnt@1John:3:23 @ His commandment is this, that we should believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another as he has commanded us to do.

mnt@1John:4:1 @ Do not believe every spirit, beloved, but test the spirits to see whether they are of God; for many false prophets are gone out into the world.

mnt@1John:4:2 @ By this you know the Spirit of God; every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is from God;

mnt@1John:4:3 @ and every spirit which confesses him not, is not from God. And this is that spirit of Antichrist of which you have heard that it is coming, and that now it is already in the world.

mnt@1John:4:4 @ My little children, you are of God and have conquered them; because he that is within you is greater than he that is in the world.

mnt@1John:4:5 @ They are of the world, and for this reason they speak as of the world, and the world listens to them.

mnt@1John:4:6 @ But you are of God. He who is beginning to know God listens to us; he who is not of God does not listen to us. By this we may distinguish the spirit of truth from the spirit of error.

mnt@1John:4:7 @ Beloved, let us love one another; for love is of God; and every one that loves us a child of God.

mnt@1John:4:9 @ In this was the love of God clearly shown toward us, by his sending his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him.

mnt@1John:4:13 @ By this we come to know that we are abiding in him, and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit;

mnt@1John:4:14 @ and we have beheld and do testify that the Father has sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.

mnt@1John:4:15 @ If any man confesses that "Jesus is the Son of God." God is abiding in that man, and he in God.

mnt@1John:4:17 @ In this is love made perfect with us, so that we may have cheerful confidence in the Day of Judgment, because we are living in this world as He lives.

mnt@1John:5:1 @ Every one who believes that Jesus is the Christ is a child of God; and every one who loves the Father, loves him also who is the Fathers Child.

mnt@1John:5:2 @ By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and obey his commandments.

mnt@1John:5:4 @ For whoever is a child of God is overcoming the world; and our faith is the victory that has overcome the world.

mnt@1John:5:5 @ And who it the one that is overcoming the world if not the man who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

mnt@1John:5:9 @ If we accept mens testimony, the testimony of God is greater; for this is the testimony of God, that he has borne testimony concerning his Son.

mnt@1John:5:10 @ He who believes on the Son of God has the testimony in himself. He who does not believe God, has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has borne concerning his Son.

mnt@1John:5:12 @ He who has the Son has the life; he who has not the Son of God has not the life.

mnt@1John:5:13 @ I have written these words to you so that you may know that you have eternal life, you who believe in the name of the Son of God.

mnt@1John:5:18 @ We know that whoever is a child of God is not habitually committing sin; but he who is Gods child guards himself, and the Evil One never touches him.

mnt@1John:5:19 @ We know that we are of God, and the whole world is lying in the Evil One.

mnt@1John:5:20 @ And we know that the Son of God is come, and has granted us and understanding, so that we may come to know him who is true. And we are in him who is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and life eternal.

mnt@2John:1:2 @ I love you for the sake of the truth which is abiding in us and will be with us forever.

mnt@2John:1:4 @ I am greatly rejoiced to find some of your children leading their lives in truth, even as we received commandment from the Father.

mnt@2John:1:7 @ I say this because many deceivers are gone forth into the world, those who deny the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the Antichrist.

mnt@2John:1:9 @ Whoever is going ahead, and is not abiding in the teachings of Christ, does not possess God; but he who is abiding in the teaching possesses both the Father and the Son.

mnt@2John:1:13 @ The children of your elect sister send you greeting.

mnt@3John:1:6 @ They have borne testimony to your love before the church. You will do well to speed them on their way worthily of God;

mnt@3John:1:7 @ since for the sake of the Name they have started out, taking nothing from the Gentiles.

mnt@3John:1:11 @ Do not imitate what is evil, beloved, but that which is good. He who does good is of God; he who does evil has never gazed on God.

mnt@Jude:1:1 @ Jude, a slave of Jesus Christ, and a brother of James. To those who are in God, the Father beloved, kept for Jesus Christ, and called.

mnt@Jude:1:4 @ For certain men have crept in stealthily - men predestined in ancient prophecies for this condemnation - impious ones! They pervert the grace of our God into licentiousness, and deny Jesus Christ, our sole Master and Lord.

mnt@Jude:1:5 @ I wish to remind you of what you already know right well, that although the Lord once saved a people out of the land of Egypt, he afterward destroyed those who did not believe;

mnt@Jude:1:6 @ while the angels who did not keep their first domain but left their proper abode, are held by him in blank darkness, in everlasting chains, in preparation for the judgment of the Great Day.

mnt@Jude:1:7 @ So also Sodom and Gomorrah and the near-by cities which in like manner glutted themselves in sensuality and unnatural vice, are exhibited as a warning of the eternal fire, in the punishment they undergo.

mnt@Jude:1:8 @ Yet in just the same way these dreamers also defile the flesh, while they set at naught dominion and scoff at dignities.

mnt@Jude:1:9 @ But Michael, the Archangel, when in contending with the devil, he was disputing about the body of Moses, did not dare to pronounce sentence for blasphemy, but said, "The Lord rebuke you."

mnt@Jude:1:10 @ Yet these men blaspheme about matters of which they know nothing, while they use such things as they do understand by instinct (like the animals who have no reason) for their own destruction.

mnt@Jude:1:11 @ Alas for them! They have walked in the path of Cain; for the sake of gain they have rushed headlong into Balaams error, and have perished in Korahs rebellion.

mnt@Jude:1:12 @ These are they who are stains upon your love-feasts; when they feast sumptuously without scruple, looking after none but themselves. They are clouds without water, driven along by the winds; trees of autumn, fruitless, doubly dead, torn up by the roots,

mnt@Jude:1:13 @ wild waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever.

mnt@Jude:1:14 @ It was to these, too, that Enoch, the "seventh in descent from Adam," prophesied, saying, "Lo! the Lord is come with myriads of his saints,

mnt@Jude:1:15 @ to execute judgment upon all, and to convict all the ungodly of all the ungodly deeds which in their ungodliness they have committed; and of all the hard things which they have spoken against Him, ungodly sinners that they are!"

mnt@Jude:1:16 @ For these are murmurers, always complaining. They always go where their passions lead, and their mouth speaks great swelling words, while they pay court to men for the sake of the advantage they can get.

mnt@Jude:1:17 @ But as for you, dearly beloved, remember the words spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ,

mnt@Jude:1:18 @ how they used to say to you, "In the last times there will be scoffers who will be led only by their godless passions."

mnt@Jude:1:21 @ must keep yourselves in the love of God, while waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, which ends in life eternal.

mnt@Jude:1:22 @ Pity some who are wavering, and save by dragging them out of the fire;

mnt@Jude:1:24 @ Now unto Him who has power to guard you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of his glory, faultless and exultant,

mnt@Revelation:1:1 @ \ul1 THE UNVEILING APOCALYPSE OF JESUS CHRIST\ul0 which God gave him to show to his slaves the things which must soon come to pass; and he sent and made it known by his angel to his slave John.
