nkjv@Joshua:1:2 @ "Moses My servant is dead. Now therefore, arise, go over this Jordan, you and all this people, to the land which I am giving to them--the children of Israel.

nkjv@Joshua:1:3 @ Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given you, as I said to Moses.

nkjv@Joshua:1:4 @ From the wilderness and this Lebanon as far as the great river, the River Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and to the Great Sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your territory.

nkjv@Joshua:1:5 @ No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life; as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you nor forsake you.

nkjv@Joshua:1:6 @ Be strong and of good courage, for to this people you shall divide as an inheritance the land which I swore to their fathers to give them.

nkjv@Joshua:1:7 @ Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go.

nkjv@Joshua:1:8 @ This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.

nkjv@Joshua:1:9 @ Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go."

nkjv@Joshua:1:11 @ "Pass through the camp and command the people, saying, "Prepare provisions for yourselves, for within three days you will cross over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land which the LORD your God is giving you to possess."'

nkjv@Joshua:1:13 @ "Remember the word which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, saying, "The LORD your God is giving you rest and is giving you this land.'

nkjv@Joshua:1:14 @ Your wives, your little ones, and your livestock shall remain in the land which Moses gave you on this side of the Jordan. But you shall pass before your brethren armed, all your mighty men of valor, and help them,

nkjv@Joshua:1:15 @ until the LORD has given your brethren rest, as He gave you, and they also have taken possession of the land which the LORD your God is giving them. Then you shall return to the land of your possession and enjoy it, which Moses the LORD's servant gave you on this side of the Jordan toward the sunrise."

nkjv@Joshua:1:16 @ So they answered Joshua, saying, "All that you command us we will do, and wherever you send us we will go.

nkjv@Joshua:1:17 @ Just as we heeded Moses in all things, so we will heed you. Only the LORD your God be with you, as He was with Moses.

nkjv@Joshua:1:18 @ Whoever rebels against your command and does not heed your words, in all that you command him, shall be put to death. Only be strong and of good courage."

nkjv@Joshua:2:3 @ So the king of Jericho sent to Rahab, saying, "Bring out the men who have come to you, who have entered your house, for they have come to search out all the country."

nkjv@Joshua:2:5 @ And it happened as the gate was being shut, when it was dark, that the men went out. Where the men went I do not know; pursue them quickly, for you may overtake them."

nkjv@Joshua:2:9 @ and said to the men: "I know that the LORD has given you the land, that the terror of you has fallen on us, and that all the inhabitants of the land are fainthearted because of you.

nkjv@Joshua:2:10 @ For we have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red Sea for you when you came out of Egypt, and what you did to the two kings of the Amorites who were on the other side of the Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom you utterly destroyed.

nkjv@Joshua:2:11 @ And as soon as we heard these things, our hearts melted; neither did there remain any more courage in anyone because of you, for the LORD your God, He is God in heaven above and on earth beneath.

nkjv@Joshua:2:12 @ Now therefore, I beg you, swear to me by the LORD, since I have shown you kindness, that you also will show kindness to my father's house, and give me a true token,

nkjv@Joshua:2:14 @ So the men answered her, "Our lives for yours, if none of you tell this business of ours. And it shall be, when the LORD has given us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with you."

nkjv@Joshua:2:16 @ And she said to them, "Get to the mountain, lest the pursuers meet you. Hide there three days, until the pursuers have returned. Afterward you may go your way."

nkjv@Joshua:2:17 @ So the men said to her: "We will be blameless of this oath of yours which you have made us swear,

nkjv@Joshua:2:18 @ unless, when we come into the land, you bind this line of scarlet cord in the window through which you let us down, and unless you bring your father, your mother, your brothers, and all your father's household to your own home.

nkjv@Joshua:2:19 @ So it shall be that whoever goes outside the doors of your house into the street, his blood shall be on his own head, and we will be guiltless. And whoever is with you in the house, his blood shall be on our head if a hand is laid on him.

nkjv@Joshua:2:20 @ And if you tell this business of ours, then we will be free from your oath which you made us swear."

nkjv@Joshua:2:21 @ Then she said, "According to your words, so be it." And she sent them away, and they departed. And she bound the scarlet cord in the window.

nkjv@Joshua:3:3 @ and they commanded the people, saying, "When you see the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, and the priests, the Levites, bearing it, then you shall set out from your place and go after it.

nkjv@Joshua:3:4 @ Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure. Do not come near it, that you may know the way by which you must go, for you have not passed this way before."

nkjv@Joshua:3:5 @ And Joshua said to the people, "Sanctify yourselves, for tomorrow the LORD will do wonders among you."

nkjv@Joshua:3:7 @ And the LORD said to Joshua, "This day I will begin to exalt you in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that, as I was with Moses, so I will be with you.

nkjv@Joshua:3:8 @ You shall command the priests who bear the ark of the covenant, saying, "When you have come to the edge of the water of the Jordan, you shall stand in the Jordan."'

nkjv@Joshua:3:9 @ So Joshua said to the children of Israel, "Come here, and hear the words of the LORD your God."

nkjv@Joshua:3:10 @ And Joshua said, "By this you shall know that the living God is among you, and that He will without fail drive out from before you the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Hivites and the Perizzites and the Girgashites and the Amorites and the Jebusites:

nkjv@Joshua:3:11 @ Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth is crossing over before you into the Jordan.

nkjv@Joshua:3:12 @ Now therefore, take for yourselves twelve men from the tribes of Israel, one man from every tribe.

nkjv@Joshua:4:2 @ "Take for yourselves twelve men from the people, one man from every tribe,

nkjv@Joshua:4:3 @ and command them, saying, "Take for yourselves twelve stones from here, out of the midst of the Jordan, from the place where the priests' feet stood firm. You shall carry them over with you and leave them in the lodging place where you lodge tonight."'

nkjv@Joshua:4:5 @ and Joshua said to them: "Cross over before the ark of the LORD your God into the midst of the Jordan, and each one of you take up a stone on his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel,

nkjv@Joshua:4:6 @ that this may be a sign among you when your children ask in time to come, saying, "What do these stones mean to you?'

nkjv@Joshua:4:7 @ Then you shall answer them that the waters of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the LORD; when it crossed over the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off. And these stones shall be for a memorial to the children of Israel forever."

nkjv@Joshua:4:21 @ Then he spoke to the children of Israel, saying: "When your children ask their fathers in time to come, saying, "What are these stones?'

nkjv@Joshua:4:22 @ then you shall let your children know, saying, "Israel crossed over this Jordan on dry land';

nkjv@Joshua:4:23 @ for the LORD your God dried up the waters of the Jordan before you until you had crossed over, as the LORD your God did to the Red Sea, which He dried up before us until we had crossed over,

nkjv@Joshua:4:24 @ that all the peoples of the earth may know the hand of the LORD, that it is mighty, that you may fear the LORD your God forever."

nkjv@Joshua:5:2 @ At that time the LORD said to Joshua, "Make flint knives for yourself, and circumcise the sons of Israel again the second time."

nkjv@Joshua:5:9 @ Then the LORD said to Joshua, "This day I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you." Therefore the name of the place is called Gilgal to this day.

nkjv@Joshua:5:13 @ And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted his eyes and looked, and behold, a Man stood opposite him with His sword drawn in His hand. And Joshua went to Him and said to Him, "Are You for us or for our adversaries?"

nkjv@Joshua:5:15 @ Then the Commander of the LORD's army said to Joshua, "Take your sandal off your foot, for the place where you stand is holy." And Joshua did so.

nkjv@Joshua:6:2 @ And the LORD said to Joshua: "See! I have given Jericho into your hand, its king, and the mighty men of valor.

nkjv@Joshua:6:3 @ You shall march around the city, all you men of war; you shall go all around the city once. This you shall do six days.

nkjv@Joshua:6:4 @ And seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark. But the seventh day you shall march around the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets.

nkjv@Joshua:6:5 @ It shall come to pass, when they make a long blast with the ram's horn, and when you hear the sound of the trumpet, that all the people shall shout with a great shout; then the wall of the city will fall down flat. And the people shall go up every man straight before him."

nkjv@Joshua:6:10 @ Now Joshua had commanded the people, saying, "You shall not shout or make any noise with your voice, nor shall a word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I say to you, "Shout!' Then you shall shout."

nkjv@Joshua:6:16 @ And the seventh time it happened, when the priests blew the trumpets, that Joshua said to the people: "Shout, for the LORD has given you the city!

nkjv@Joshua:6:18 @ And you, by all means abstain from the accursed things, lest you become accursed when you take of the accursed things, and make the camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it.

nkjv@Joshua:6:21 @ And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old, ox and sheep and donkey, with the edge of the sword.

nkjv@Joshua:6:22 @ But Joshua had said to the two men who had spied out the country, "Go into the harlot's house, and from there bring out the woman and all that she has, as you swore to her."

nkjv@Joshua:6:23 @ And the young men who had been spies went in and brought out Rahab, her father, her mother, her brothers, and all that she had. So they brought out all her relatives and left them outside the camp of Israel.

nkjv@Joshua:6:26 @ Then Joshua charged them at that time, saying, "Cursed be the man before the LORD who rises up and builds this city Jericho; he shall lay its foundation with his firstborn, and with his youngest he shall set up its gates."

nkjv@Joshua:7:7 @ And Joshua said, "Alas, Lord GOD, why have You brought this people over the Jordan at all--to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us? Oh, that we had been content, and dwelt on the other side of the Jordan!

nkjv@Joshua:7:9 @ For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land will hear it, and surround us, and cut off our name from the earth. Then what will You do for Your great name?"

nkjv@Joshua:7:10 @ So the LORD said to Joshua: "Get up! Why do you lie thus on your face?

nkjv@Joshua:7:12 @ Therefore the children of Israel could not stand before their enemies, but turned their backs before their enemies, because they have become doomed to destruction. Neither will I be with you anymore, unless you destroy the accursed from among you.

nkjv@Joshua:7:13 @ Get up, sanctify the people, and say, "Sanctify yourselves for tomorrow, because thus says the LORD God of Israel: "There is an accursed thing in your midst, O Israel; you cannot stand before your enemies until you take away the accursed thing from among you."

nkjv@Joshua:7:14 @ In the morning therefore you shall be brought according to your tribes. And it shall be that the tribe which the LORD takes shall come according to families; and the family which the LORD takes shall come by households; and the household which the LORD takes shall come man by man.

nkjv@Joshua:7:19 @ Now Joshua said to Achan, "My son, I beg you, give glory to the LORD God of Israel, and make confession to Him, and tell me now what you have done; do not hide it from me."

nkjv@Joshua:7:25 @ And Joshua said, "Why have you troubled us? The LORD will trouble you this day." So all Israel stoned him with stones; and they burned them with fire after they had stoned them with stones.

nkjv@Joshua:8:1 @ Now the LORD said to Joshua: "Do not be afraid, nor be dismayed; take all the people of war with you, and arise, go up to Ai. See, I have given into your hand the king of Ai, his people, his city, and his land.

nkjv@Joshua:8:2 @ And you shall do to Ai and its king as you did to Jericho and its king. Only its spoil and its cattle you shall take as booty for yourselves. Lay an ambush for the city behind it."

nkjv@Joshua:8:4 @ And he commanded them, saying: "Behold, you shall lie in ambush against the city, behind the city. Do not go very far from the city, but all of you be ready.

nkjv@Joshua:8:7 @ Then you shall rise from the ambush and seize the city, for the LORD your God will deliver it into your hand.

nkjv@Joshua:8:8 @ And it will be, when you have taken the city, that you shall set the city on fire. According to the commandment of the LORD you shall do. See, I have commanded you."

nkjv@Joshua:8:18 @ Then the LORD said to Joshua, "Stretch out the spear that is in your hand toward Ai, for I will give it into your hand." And Joshua stretched out the spear that was in his hand toward the city.

nkjv@Joshua:9:7 @ Then the men of Israel said to the Hivites, "Perhaps you dwell among us; so how can we make a covenant with you?"

nkjv@Joshua:9:8 @ But they said to Joshua, "We are your servants." And Joshua said to them, "Who are you, and where do you come from?"

nkjv@Joshua:9:9 @ So they said to him: "From a very far country your servants have come, because of the name of the LORD your God; for we have heard of His fame, and all that He did in Egypt,

nkjv@Joshua:9:11 @ Therefore our elders and all the inhabitants of our country spoke to us, saying, "Take provisions with you for the journey, and go to meet them, and say to them, "We are your servants; now therefore, make a covenant with us."'

nkjv@Joshua:9:12 @ This bread of ours we took hot for our provision from our houses on the day we departed to come to you. But now look, it is dry and moldy.

nkjv@Joshua:9:22 @ Then Joshua called for them, and he spoke to them, saying, "Why have you deceived us, saying, "We are very far from you,' when you dwell near us?

nkjv@Joshua:9:23 @ Now therefore, you are cursed, and none of you shall be freed from being slaves--woodcutters and water carriers for the house of my God."

nkjv@Joshua:9:24 @ So they answered Joshua and said, "Because your servants were clearly told that the LORD your God commanded His servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you; therefore we were very much afraid for our lives because of you, and have done this thing.

nkjv@Joshua:9:25 @ And now, here we are, in your hands; do with us as it seems good and right to do to us."

nkjv@Joshua:10:6 @ And the men of Gibeon sent to Joshua at the camp at Gilgal, saying, "Do not forsake your servants; come up to us quickly, save us and help us, for all the kings of the Amorites who dwell in the mountains have gathered together against us."

nkjv@Joshua:10:8 @ And the LORD said to Joshua, "Do not fear them, for I have delivered them into your hand; not a man of them shall stand before you."

nkjv@Joshua:10:19 @ And do not stay there yourselves, but pursue your enemies, and attack their rear guard. Do not allow them to enter their cities, for the LORD your God has delivered them into your hand."

nkjv@Joshua:10:24 @ So it was, when they brought out those kings to Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said to the captains of the men of war who went with him, "Come near, put your feet on the necks of these kings." And they drew near and put their feet on their necks.

nkjv@Joshua:10:25 @ Then Joshua said to them, "Do not be afraid, nor be dismayed; be strong and of good courage, for thus the LORD will do to all your enemies against whom you fight."

nkjv@Joshua:11:6 @ But the LORD said to Joshua, "Do not be afraid because of them, for tomorrow about this time I will deliver all of them slain before Israel. You shall hamstring their horses and burn their chariots with fire."

nkjv@Joshua:13:1 @ Now Joshua was old, advanced in years. And the LORD said to him: "You are old, advanced in years, and there remains very much land yet to be possessed.

nkjv@Joshua:13:6 @ all the inhabitants of the mountains from Lebanon as far as the Brook Misrephoth, and all the Sidonians--them I will drive out from before the children of Israel; only divide it by lot to Israel as an inheritance, as I have commanded you.

nkjv@Joshua:14:6 @ Then the children of Judah came to Joshua in Gilgal. And Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him: "You know the word which the LORD said to Moses the man of God concerning you and me in Kadesh Barnea.

nkjv@Joshua:14:9 @ So Moses swore on that day, saying, "Surely the land where your foot has trodden shall be your inheritance and your children's forever, because you have wholly followed the LORD my God.'

nkjv@Joshua:14:12 @ Now therefore, give me this mountain of which the LORD spoke in that day; for you heard in that day how the Anakim were there, and that the cities were great and fortified. It may be that the LORD will be with me, and I shall be able to drive them out as the LORD said."

nkjv@Joshua:15:4 @ From there it passed toward Azmon and went out to the Brook of Egypt; and the border ended at the sea. This shall be your southern border.

nkjv@Joshua:15:18 @ Now it was so, when she came to him, that she persuaded him to ask her father for a field. So she dismounted from her donkey, and Caleb said to her, "What do you wish?"

nkjv@Joshua:15:19 @ She answered, "Give me a blessing; since you have given me land in the South, give me also springs of water." So he gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.

nkjv@Joshua:17:14 @ Then the children of Joseph spoke to Joshua, saying, "Why have you given us only one lot and one share to inherit, since we are a great people, inasmuch as the LORD has blessed us until now?"

nkjv@Joshua:17:15 @ So Joshua answered them, "If you are a great people, then go up to the forest country and clear a place for yourself there in the land of the Perizzites and the giants, since the mountains of Ephraim are too confined for you."

nkjv@Joshua:17:17 @ And Joshua spoke to the house of Joseph--to Ephraim and Manasseh--saying, "You are a great people and have great power; you shall not have only one lot,

nkjv@Joshua:17:18 @ but the mountain country shall be yours. Although it is wooded, you shall cut it down, and its farthest extent shall be yours; for you shall drive out the Canaanites, though they have iron chariots and are strong."

nkjv@Joshua:18:3 @ Then Joshua said to the children of Israel: "How long will you neglect to go and possess the land which the LORD God of your fathers has given you?

nkjv@Joshua:18:4 @ Pick out from among you three men for each tribe, and I will send them; they shall rise and go through the land, survey it according to their inheritance, and come back to me.

nkjv@Joshua:18:6 @ You shall therefore survey the land in seven parts and bring the survey here to me, that I may cast lots for you here before the LORD our God.

nkjv@Joshua:18:7 @ But the Levites have no part among you, for the priesthood of the LORD is their inheritance. And Gad, Reuben, and half the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance beyond the Jordan on the east, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave them."

nkjv@Joshua:18:8 @ Then the men arose to go away; and Joshua charged those who went to survey the land, saying, "Go, walk through the land, survey it, and come back to me, that I may cast lots for you here before the LORD in Shiloh."

nkjv@Joshua:20:2 @ "Speak to the children of Israel, saying: "Appoint for yourselves cities of refuge, of which I spoke to you through Moses,

nkjv@Joshua:20:3 @ that the slayer who kills a person accidentally or unintentionally may flee there; and they shall be your refuge from the avenger of blood.

nkjv@Joshua:22:2 @ and said to them: "You have kept all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, and have obeyed my voice in all that I commanded you.

nkjv@Joshua:22:3 @ You have not left your brethren these many days, up to this day, but have kept the charge of the commandment of the LORD your God.

nkjv@Joshua:22:4 @ And now the LORD your God has given rest to your brethren, as He promised them; now therefore, return and go to your tents and to the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you on the other side of the Jordan.

nkjv@Joshua:22:5 @ But take careful heed to do the commandment and the law which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, to love the LORD your God, to walk in all His ways, to keep His commandments, to hold fast to Him, and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul."

nkjv@Joshua:22:8 @ and spoke to them, saying, "Return with much riches to your tents, with very much livestock, with silver, with gold, with bronze, with iron, and with very much clothing. Divide the spoil of your enemies with your brethren."

nkjv@Joshua:22:16 @ "Thus says the whole congregation of the LORD: "What treachery is this that you have committed against the God of Israel, to turn away this day from following the LORD, in that you have built for yourselves an altar, that you might rebel this day against the LORD?

nkjv@Joshua:22:18 @ but that you must turn away this day from following the LORD? And it shall be, if you rebel today against the LORD, that tomorrow He will be angry with the whole congregation of Israel.

nkjv@Joshua:22:19 @ Nevertheless, if the land of your possession is unclean, then cross over to the land of the possession of the LORD, where the LORD's tabernacle stands, and take possession among us; but do not rebel against the LORD, nor rebel against us, by building yourselves an altar besides the altar of the LORD our God.

nkjv@Joshua:22:24 @ But in fact we have done it for fear, for a reason, saying, "In time to come your descendants may speak to our descendants, saying, "What have you to do with the LORD God of Israel?

nkjv@Joshua:22:25 @ For the LORD has made the Jordan a border between you and us, you children of Reuben and children of Gad. You have no part in the LORD." So your descendants would make our descendants cease fearing the LORD.'

nkjv@Joshua:22:27 @ but that it may be a witness between you and us and our generations after us, that we may perform the service of the LORD before Him with our burnt offerings, with our sacrifices, and with our peace offerings; that your descendants may not say to our descendants in time to come, "You have no part in the LORD."'

nkjv@Joshua:22:28 @ Therefore we said that it will be, when they say this to us or to our generations in time to come, that we may say, "Here is the replica of the altar of the LORD which our fathers made, though not for burnt offerings nor for sacrifices; but it is a witness between you and us.'

nkjv@Joshua:22:31 @ Then Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest said to the children of Reuben, the children of Gad, and the children of Manasseh, "This day we perceive that the LORD is among us, because you have not committed this treachery against the LORD. Now you have delivered the children of Israel out of the hand of the LORD."

nkjv@Joshua:23:3 @ You have seen all that the LORD your God has done to all these nations because of you, for the LORD your God is He who has fought for you.

nkjv@Joshua:23:4 @ See, I have divided to you by lot these nations that remain, to be an inheritance for your tribes, from the Jordan, with all the nations that I have cut off, as far as the Great Sea westward.

nkjv@Joshua:23:5 @ And the LORD your God will expel them from before you and drive them out of your sight. So you shall possess their land, as the LORD your God promised you.

nkjv@Joshua:23:6 @ Therefore be very courageous to keep and to do all that is written in the Book of the Law of Moses, lest you turn aside from it to the right hand or to the left,

nkjv@Joshua:23:7 @ and lest you go among these nations, these who remain among you. You shall not make mention of the name of their gods, nor cause anyone to swear by them; you shall not serve them nor bow down to them,

nkjv@Joshua:23:8 @ but you shall hold fast to the LORD your God, as you have done to this day.

nkjv@Joshua:23:9 @ For the LORD has driven out from before you great and strong nations; but as for you, no one has been able to stand against you to this day.

nkjv@Joshua:23:10 @ One man of you shall chase a thousand, for the LORD your God is He who fights for you, as He promised you.

nkjv@Joshua:23:11 @ Therefore take careful heed to yourselves, that you love the LORD your God.

nkjv@Joshua:23:12 @ Or else, if indeed you do go back, and cling to the remnant of these nations--these that remain among you--and make marriages with them, and go in to them and they to you,

nkjv@Joshua:23:13 @ know for certain that the LORD your God will no longer drive out these nations from before you. But they shall be snares and traps to you, and scourges on your sides and thorns in your eyes, until you perish from this good land which the LORD your God has given you.

nkjv@Joshua:23:14 @ "Behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth. And you know in all your hearts and in all your souls that not one thing has failed of all the good things which the LORD your God spoke concerning you. All have come to pass for you; not one word of them has failed.

nkjv@Joshua:23:15 @ Therefore it shall come to pass, that as all the good things have come upon you which the LORD your God promised you, so the LORD will bring upon you all harmful things, until He has destroyed you from this good land which the LORD your God has given you.

nkjv@Joshua:23:16 @ When you have transgressed the covenant of the LORD your God, which He commanded you, and have gone and served other gods, and bowed down to them, then the anger of the LORD will burn against you, and you shall perish quickly from the good land which He has given you."

nkjv@Joshua:24:2 @ And Joshua said to all the people, "Thus says the LORD God of Israel: "Your fathers, including Terah, the father of Abraham and the father of Nahor, dwelt on the other side of the River in old times; and they served other gods.

nkjv@Joshua:24:3 @ Then I took your father Abraham from the other side of the River, led him throughout all the land of Canaan, and multiplied his descendants and gave him Isaac.

nkjv@Joshua:24:5 @ Also I sent Moses and Aaron, and I plagued Egypt, according to what I did among them. Afterward I brought you out.

nkjv@Joshua:24:6 @ "Then I brought your fathers out of Egypt, and you came to the sea; and the Egyptians pursued your fathers with chariots and horsemen to the Red Sea.

nkjv@Joshua:24:7 @ So they cried out to the LORD; and He put darkness between you and the Egyptians, brought the sea upon them, and covered them. And your eyes saw what I did in Egypt. Then you dwelt in the wilderness a long time.

nkjv@Joshua:24:8 @ And I brought you into the land of the Amorites, who dwelt on the other side of the Jordan, and they fought with you. But I gave them into your hand, that you might possess their land, and I destroyed them from before you.

nkjv@Joshua:24:9 @ Then Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, arose to make war against Israel, and sent and called Balaam the son of Beor to curse you.

nkjv@Joshua:24:10 @ But I would not listen to Balaam; therefore he continued to bless you. So I delivered you out of his hand.

nkjv@Joshua:24:11 @ Then you went over the Jordan and came to Jericho. And the men of Jericho fought against you--also the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Girgashites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites. But I delivered them into your hand.

nkjv@Joshua:24:12 @ I sent the hornet before you which drove them out from before you, also the two kings of the Amorites, but not with your sword or with your bow.

nkjv@Joshua:24:13 @ I have given you a land for which you did not labor, and cities which you did not build, and you dwell in them; you eat of the vineyards and olive groves which you did not plant.'

nkjv@Joshua:24:14 @ "Now therefore, fear the LORD, serve Him in sincerity and in truth, and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the River and in Egypt. Serve the LORD!

nkjv@Joshua:24:15 @ And if it seems evil to you to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell.

nkjv@Judges:6:37 @ look, I shall put a fleece of wool on the threshing floor; if there is dew on the fleece only, and it is dry on all the ground, then I shall know that You will save Israel by my hand, as You have said."

nkjv@Judges:8:21 @ So Zebah and Zalmunna said, "Rise yourself, and kill us; for as a man is, so is his strength." So Gideon arose and killed Zebah and Zalmunna, and took the crescent ornaments that were on their camels' necks.

nkjv@Judges:8:22 @ Then the men of Israel said to Gideon, "Rule over us, both you and your son, and your grandson also; for you have delivered us from the hand of Midian."

For the people will not eat until he comes, because he must bless the sacrifice; afterward those who are invited will eat. Now therefore, go up, for about this time you will find him."

nkjv@1Samuel:9:16 @ "Tomorrow about this time I will send you a man from the land of Benjamin, and you shall anoint him commander over My people Israel, that he may save My people from the hand of the Philistines; for I have looked upon My people, because their cry has come to Me."

nkjv@1Samuel:9:19 @ Samuel answered Saul and said, "I am the seer. Go up before me to the high place, for you shall eat with me today; and tomorrow I will let you go and will tell you all that is in your heart.

nkjv@1Samuel:9:20 @ But as for your donkeys that were lost three days ago, do not be anxious about them, for they have been found. And on whom is all the desire of Israel? Is it not on you and on all your father's house?"

nkjv@1Samuel:9:21 @ And Saul answered and said, "Am I not a Benjamite, of the smallest of the tribes of Israel, and my family the least of all the families of the tribe of Benjamin? Why then do you speak like this to me?"

nkjv@1Samuel:9:23 @ And Samuel said to the cook, "Bring the portion which I gave you, of which I said to you, "Set it apart."'

nkjv@1Samuel:9:24 @ So the cook took up the thigh with its upper part and set it before Saul. And Samuel said, "Here it is, what was kept back. It was set apart for you. Eat; for until this time it has been kept for you, since I said I invited the people." So Saul ate with Samuel that day.

nkjv@1Samuel:9:26 @ They arose early; and it was about the dawning of the day that Samuel called to Saul on the top of the house, saying, "Get up, that I may send you on your way." And Saul arose, and both of them went outside, he and Samuel.

nkjv@1Samuel:10:2 @ When you have departed from me today, you will find two men by Rachel's tomb in the territory of Benjamin at Zelzah; and they will say to you, "The donkeys which you went to look for have been found.

nkjv@1Samuel:10:3 @ Then you shall go on forward from there and come to the terebinth tree of Tabor. There three men going up to God at Bethel will meet you, one carrying three young goats, another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a skin of wine.

nkjv@1Samuel:10:4 @ And they will greet you and give you two loaves of bread, which you shall receive from their hands.

nkjv@1Samuel:10:5 @ After that you shall come to the hill of God where the Philistine garrison is. And it will happen, when you have come there to the city, that you will meet a group of prophets coming down from the high place with a stringed instrument, a tambourine, a flute, and a harp before them; and they will be prophesying.

nkjv@1Samuel:10:6 @ Then the Spirit of the LORD will come upon you, and you will prophesy with them and be turned into another man.

nkjv@1Samuel:10:7 @ And let it be, when these signs come to you, that you do as the occasion demands; for God is with you.

nkjv@1Samuel:10:8 @ You shall go down before me to Gilgal; and surely I will come down to you to offer burnt offerings and make sacrifices of peace offerings. Seven days you shall wait, till I come to you and show you what you should do."

nkjv@1Samuel:10:14 @ Then Saul's uncle said to him and his servant, "Where did you go?" So he said, "To look for the donkeys. When we saw that they were nowhere to be found, we went to Samuel."

nkjv@1Samuel:14:1 @ Now it happened one day that Jonathan the son of Saul said to the young man who bore his armor, "Come, let us go over to the Philistines' garrison that is on the other side." But he did not tell his father.

nkjv@1Samuel:15:21 @ But the people took of the plunder, sheep and oxen, the best of the things which should have been utterly destroyed, to sacrifice to the LORD your God in Gilgal."

nkjv@1Samuel:15:23 @ For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, And stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the LORD, He also has rejected you from being king."

nkjv@1Samuel:15:24 @ Then Saul said to Samuel, "I have sinned, for I have transgressed the commandment of the LORD and your words, because I feared the people and obeyed their voice.

nkjv@1Samuel:15:26 @ But Samuel said to Saul, "I will not return with you, for you have rejected the word of the LORD, and the LORD has rejected you from being king over Israel."

nkjv@1Samuel:15:28 @ So Samuel said to him, "The LORD has torn the kingdom of Israel from you today, and has given it to a neighbor of yours, who is better than you.

nkjv@1Samuel:15:33 @ But Samuel said, "As your sword has made women childless, so shall your mother be childless among women." And Samuel hacked Agag in pieces before the LORD in Gilgal.

nkjv@1Samuel:16:1 @ Now the LORD said to Samuel, "How long will you mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? Fill your horn with oil, and go; I am sending you to Jesse the Bethlehemite. For I have provided Myself a king among his sons."

nkjv@1Samuel:16:2 @ And Samuel said, "How can I go? If Saul hears it, he will kill me." But the LORD said, "Take a heifer with you, and say, "I have come to sacrifice to the LORD.'

nkjv@1Samuel:16:3 @ Then invite Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show you what you shall do; you shall anoint for Me the one I name to you."

nkjv@1Samuel:16:4 @ So Samuel did what the LORD said, and went to Bethlehem. And the elders of the town trembled at his coming, and said, "Do you come peaceably?"

nkjv@1Samuel:16:5 @ And he said, "Peaceably; I have come to sacrifice to the LORD. Sanctify yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice." Then he consecrated Jesse and his sons, and invited them to the sacrifice.

nkjv@1Samuel:16:11 @ And Samuel said to Jesse, "Are all the young men here?" Then he said, "There remains yet the youngest, and there he is, keeping the sheep." And Samuel said to Jesse, "Send and bring him. For we will not sit down till he comes here."

nkjv@1Samuel:17:28 @ Now Eliab his oldest brother heard when he spoke to the men; and Eliab's anger was aroused against David, and he said, "Why did you come down here?

nkjv@1Samuel:18:21 @ So Saul said, "I will give her to him, that she may be a snare to him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him." Therefore Saul said to David a second time, "You shall be my son-in-law today."

nkjv@1Samuel:20:29 @ And he said, "Please let me go, for our family has a sacrifice in the city, and my brother has commanded me to be there. And now, if I have found favor in your eyes, please let me get away and see my brothers.' Therefore he has not come to the king's table."

nkjv@1Samuel:20:30 @ Then Saul's anger was aroused against Jonathan, and he said to him, "You son of a perverse, rebellious woman! Do I not know that you have chosen the son of Jesse to your own shame and to the shame of your mother's nakedness?

nkjv@1Samuel:20:31 @ For as long as the son of Jesse lives on the earth, you shall not be established, nor your kingdom. Now therefore, send and bring him to me, for he shall surely die."

nkjv@1Samuel:20:37 @ When the lad had come to the place where the arrow was which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cried out after the lad and said, "Is not the arrow beyond you?"

nkjv@1Samuel:20:42 @ Then Jonathan said to David, "Go in peace, since we have both sworn in the name of the LORD, saying, "May the LORD be between you and me, and between your descendants and my descendants, forever."' So he arose and departed, and Jonathan went into the city.

nkjv@1Samuel:21:1 @ Now David came to Nob, to Ahimelech the priest. And Ahimelech was afraid when he met David, and said to him, "Why are you alone, and no one is with you?"

nkjv@1Samuel:21:2 @ So David said to Ahimelech the priest, "The king has ordered me on some business, and said to me, "Do not let anyone know anything about the business on which I send you, or what I have commanded you.' And I have directed my young men to such and such a place.

nkjv@1Samuel:21:3 @ Now therefore, what have you on hand? Give me five loaves of bread in my hand, or whatever can be found."

nkjv@1Samuel:21:4 @ And the priest answered David and said, "There is no common bread on hand; but there is holy bread, if the young men have at least kept themselves from women."

nkjv@1Samuel:21:5 @ Then David answered the priest, and said to him, "Truly, women have been kept from us about three days since I came out. And the vessels of the young men are holy, and the bread is in effect common, even though it was consecrated in the vessel this day."

nkjv@1Samuel:21:9 @ So the priest said, "The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you killed in the Valley of Elah, there it is, wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod. If you will take that, take it. For there is no other except that one here." And David said, "There is none like it; give it to me."

nkjv@1Samuel:21:14 @ Then Achish said to his servants, "Look, you see the man is insane. Why have you brought him to me?

nkjv@1Samuel:21:15 @ Have I need of madmen, that you have brought this fellow to play the madman in my presence? Shall this fellow come into my house?"

nkjv@1Samuel:22:3 @ Then David went from there to Mizpah of Moab; and he said to the king of Moab, "Please let my father and mother come here with you, till I know what God will do for me."

nkjv@1Samuel:22:7 @ then Saul said to his servants who stood about him, "Hear now, you Benjamites! Will the son of Jesse give every one of you fields and vineyards, and make you all captains of thousands and captains of hundreds?

nkjv@1Samuel:22:8 @ All of you have conspired against me, and there is no one who reveals to me that my son has made a covenant with the son of Jesse; and there is not one of you who is sorry for me or reveals to me that my son has stirred up my servant against me, to lie in wait, as it is this day."

nkjv@1Samuel:22:13 @ Then Saul said to him, "Why have you conspired against me, you and the son of Jesse, in that you have given him bread and a sword, and have inquired of God for him, that he should rise against me, to lie in wait, as it is this day?"

nkjv@1Samuel:22:14 @ So Ahimelech answered the king and said, "And who among all your servants is as faithful as David, who is the king's son-in-law, who goes at your bidding, and is honorable in your house?

nkjv@1Samuel:22:15 @ Did I then begin to inquire of God for him? Far be it from me! Let not the king impute anything to his servant, or to any in the house of my father. For your servant knew nothing of all this, little or much."

nkjv@1Samuel:22:16 @ And the king said, "You shall surely die, Ahimelech, you and all your father's house!"

nkjv@1Samuel:22:18 @ And the king said to Doeg, "You turn and kill the priests!" So Doeg the Edomite turned and struck the priests, and killed on that day eighty-five men who wore a linen ephod.

nkjv@1Samuel:22:22 @ So David said to Abiathar, "I knew that day, when Doeg the Edomite was there, that he would surely tell Saul. I have caused the death of all the persons of your father's house.

nkjv@1Samuel:22:23 @ Stay with me; do not fear. For he who seeks my life seeks your life, but with me you shall be safe."

nkjv@1Samuel:23:4 @ Then David inquired of the LORD once again. And the LORD answered him and said, "Arise, go down to Keilah. For I will deliver the Philistines into your hand."

nkjv@1Samuel:23:10 @ Then David said, "O LORD God of Israel, Your servant has certainly heard that Saul seeks to come to Keilah to destroy the city for my sake.

nkjv@1Samuel:23:11 @ Will the men of Keilah deliver me into his hand? Will Saul come down, as Your servant has heard? O LORD God of Israel, I pray, tell Your servant." And the LORD said, "He will come down."

nkjv@1Samuel:23:12 @ Then David said, "Will the men of Keilah deliver me and my men into the hand of Saul?" And the LORD said, "They will deliver you."

nkjv@1Samuel:23:17 @ And he said to him, "Do not fear, for the hand of Saul my father shall not find you. You shall be king over Israel, and I shall be next to you. Even my father Saul knows that."

nkjv@1Samuel:23:20 @ Now therefore, O king, come down according to all the desire of your soul to come down; and our part shall be to deliver him into the king's hand."

nkjv@1Samuel:23:21 @ And Saul said, "Blessed are you of the LORD, for you have compassion on me.

nkjv@1Samuel:23:23 @ See therefore, and take knowledge of all the lurking places where he hides; and come back to me with certainty, and I will go with you. And it shall be, if he is in the land, that I will search for him throughout all the clans of Judah."

nkjv@1Samuel:24:4 @ Then the men of David said to him, "This is the day of which the LORD said to you, "Behold, I will deliver your enemy into your hand, that you may do to him as it seems good to you."' And David arose and secretly cut off a corner of Saul's robe.

nkjv@1Samuel:24:9 @ And David said to Saul: "Why do you listen to the words of men who say, "Indeed David seeks your harm'?

nkjv@1Samuel:24:10 @ Look, this day your eyes have seen that the LORD delivered you today into my hand in the cave, and someone urged me to kill you. But my eye spared you, and I said, "I will not stretch out my hand against my lord, for he is the LORD's anointed.'

nkjv@1Samuel:24:11 @ Moreover, my father, see! Yes, see the corner of your robe in my hand! For in that I cut off the corner of your robe, and did not kill you, know and see that there is neither evil nor rebellion in my hand, and I have not sinned against you. Yet you hunt my life to take it.

nkjv@1Samuel:24:12 @ Let the LORD judge between you and me, and let the LORD avenge me on you. But my hand shall not be against you.

nkjv@1Samuel:24:13 @ As the proverb of the ancients says, "Wickedness proceeds from the wicked.' But my hand shall not be against you.

nkjv@1Samuel:24:14 @ After whom has the king of Israel come out? Whom do you pursue? A dead dog? A flea?

nkjv@1Samuel:24:15 @ Therefore let the LORD be judge, and judge between you and me, and see and plead my case, and deliver me out of your hand."

nkjv@1Samuel:24:16 @ So it was, when David had finished speaking these words to Saul, that Saul said, "Is this your voice, my son David?" And Saul lifted up his voice and wept.

nkjv@1Samuel:24:17 @ Then he said to David: "You are more righteous than I; for you have rewarded me with good, whereas I have rewarded you with evil.

nkjv@1Samuel:24:18 @ And you have shown this day how you have dealt well with me; for when the LORD delivered me into your hand, you did not kill me.

nkjv@1Samuel:24:19 @ For if a man finds his enemy, will he let him get away safely? Therefore may the LORD reward you with good for what you have done to me this day.

nkjv@1Samuel:24:20 @ And now I know indeed that you shall surely be king, and that the kingdom of Israel shall be established in your hand.

nkjv@1Samuel:24:21 @ Therefore swear now to me by the LORD that you will not cut off my descendants after me, and that you will not destroy my name from my father's house."

nkjv@1Samuel:25:5 @ David sent ten young men; and David said to the young men, "Go up to Carmel, go to Nabal, and greet him in my name.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:6 @ And thus you shall say to him who lives in prosperity: "Peace be to you, peace to your house, and peace to all that you have!

nkjv@1Samuel:25:7 @ Now I have heard that you have shearers. Your shepherds were with us, and we did not hurt them, nor was there anything missing from them all the while they were in Carmel.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:8 @ Ask your young men, and they will tell you. Therefore let my young men find favor in your eyes, for we come on a feast day. Please give whatever comes to your hand to your servants and to your son David."'

nkjv@1Samuel:25:9 @ So when David's young men came, they spoke to Nabal according to all these words in the name of David, and waited.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:12 @ So David's young men turned on their heels and went back; and they came and told him all these words.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:14 @ Now one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal's wife, saying, "Look, David sent messengers from the wilderness to greet our master; and he reviled them.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:17 @ Now therefore, know and consider what you will do, for harm is determined against our master and against all his household. For he is such a scoundrel that one cannot speak to him."

nkjv@1Samuel:25:19 @ And she said to her servants, "Go on before me; see, I am coming after you." But she did not tell her husband Nabal.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:24 @ So she fell at his feet and said: "On me, my lord, on me let this iniquity be! And please let your maidservant speak in your ears, and hear the words of your maidservant.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:25 @ Please, let not my lord regard this scoundrel Nabal. For as his name is, so is he: Nabal is his name, and folly is with him! But I, your maidservant, did not see the young men of my lord whom you sent.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:26 @ Now therefore, my lord, as the LORD lives and as your soul lives, since the LORD has held you back from coming to bloodshed and from avenging yourself with your own hand, now then, let your enemies and those who seek harm for my lord be as Nabal.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:27 @ And now this present which your maidservant has brought to my lord, let it be given to the young men who follow my lord.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:28 @ Please forgive the trespass of your maidservant. For the LORD will certainly make for my lord an enduring house, because my lord fights the battles of the LORD, and evil is not found in you throughout your days.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:29 @ Yet a man has risen to pursue you and seek your life, but the life of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of the living with the LORD your God; and the lives of your enemies He shall sling out, as from the pocket of a sling.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:30 @ And it shall come to pass, when the LORD has done for my lord according to all the good that He has spoken concerning you, and has appointed you ruler over Israel,

nkjv@1Samuel:25:31 @ that this will be no grief to you, nor offense of heart to my lord, either that you have shed blood without cause, or that my lord has avenged himself. But when the LORD has dealt well with my lord, then remember your maidservant."

nkjv@1Samuel:25:32 @ Then David said to Abigail: "Blessed is the LORD God of Israel, who sent you this day to meet me!

nkjv@1Samuel:25:33 @ And blessed is your advice and blessed are you, because you have kept me this day from coming to bloodshed and from avenging myself with my own hand.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:34 @ For indeed, as the LORD God of Israel lives, who has kept me back from hurting you, unless you had hurried and come to meet me, surely by morning light no males would have been left to Nabal!"

nkjv@1Samuel:25:35 @ So David received from her hand what she had brought him, and said to her, "Go up in peace to your house. See, I have heeded your voice and respected your person."

nkjv@1Samuel:25:40 @ When the servants of David had come to Abigail at Carmel, they spoke to her saying, "David sent us to you, to ask you to become his wife."

nkjv@1Samuel:25:41 @ Then she arose, bowed her face to the earth, and said, "Here is your maidservant, a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord."

nkjv@1Samuel:26:6 @ Then David answered, and said to Ahimelech the Hittite and to Abishai the son of Zeruiah, brother of Joab, saying, "Who will go down with me to Saul in the camp?" And Abishai said, "I will go down with you."

nkjv@1Samuel:26:8 @ Then Abishai said to David, "God has delivered your enemy into your hand this day. Now therefore, please, let me strike him at once with the spear, right to the earth; and I will not have to strike him a second time!"

nkjv@1Samuel:26:14 @ And David called out to the people and to Abner the son of Ner, saying, "Do you not answer, Abner?" Then Abner answered and said, "Who are you, calling out to the king?"

nkjv@1Samuel:26:15 @ So David said to Abner, "Are you not a man? And who is like you in Israel? Why then have you not guarded your lord the king? For one of the people came in to destroy your lord the king.

nkjv@1Samuel:26:16 @ This thing that you have done is not good. As the LORD lives, you deserve to die, because you have not guarded your master, the LORD's anointed. And now see where the king's spear is, and the jug of water that was by his head."

nkjv@1Samuel:26:17 @ Then Saul knew David's voice, and said, "Is that your voice, my son David?" David said, "It is my voice, my lord, O king."

nkjv@1Samuel:26:19 @ Now therefore, please, let my lord the king hear the words of his servant: If the LORD has stirred you up against me, let Him accept an offering. But if it is the children of men, may they be cursed before the LORD, for they have driven me out this day from sharing in the inheritance of the LORD, saying, "Go, serve other gods.'

nkjv@1Samuel:26:21 @ Then Saul said, "I have sinned. Return, my son David. For I will harm you no more, because my life was precious in your eyes this day. Indeed I have played the fool and erred exceedingly."

nkjv@1Samuel:26:22 @ And David answered and said, "Here is the king's spear. Let one of the young men come over and get it.

nkjv@1Samuel:26:23 @ May the LORD repay every man for his righteousness and his faithfulness; for the LORD delivered you into my hand today, but I would not stretch out my hand against the LORD's anointed.

nkjv@1Samuel:26:24 @ And indeed, as your life was valued much this day in my eyes, so let my life be valued much in the eyes of the LORD, and let Him deliver me out of all tribulation."

nkjv@1Samuel:26:25 @ Then Saul said to David, "May you be blessed, my son David! You shall both do great things and also still prevail." So David went on his way, and Saul returned to his place.

nkjv@1Samuel:27:5 @ Then David said to Achish, "If I have now found favor in your eyes, let them give me a place in some town in the country, that I may dwell there. For why should your servant dwell in the royal city with you?"

nkjv@1Samuel:27:8 @ And David and his men went up and raided the Geshurites, the Girzites, and the Amalekites. For those nations were the inhabitants of the land from of old, as you go to Shur, even as far as the land of Egypt.

nkjv@1Samuel:27:10 @ Then Achish would say, "Where have you made a raid today?" And David would say, "Against the southern area of Judah, or against the southern area of the Jerahmeelites, or against the southern area of the Kenites."

nkjv@1Samuel:28:1 @ Now it happened in those days that the Philistines gathered their armies together for war, to fight with Israel. And Achish said to David, "You assuredly know that you will go out with me to battle, you and your men."

nkjv@1Samuel:28:2 @ So David said to Achish, "Surely you know what your servant can do." And Achish said to David, "Therefore I will make you one of my chief guardians forever."

nkjv@1Samuel:28:8 @ So Saul disguised himself and put on other clothes, and he went, and two men with him; and they came to the woman by night. And he said, "Please conduct a s^eaance for me, and bring up for me the one I shall name to you."

nkjv@1Samuel:28:9 @ Then the woman said to him, "Look, you know what Saul has done, how he has cut off the mediums and the spiritists from the land. Why then do you lay a snare for my life, to cause me to die?"

nkjv@1Samuel:28:10 @ And Saul swore to her by the LORD, saying, "As the LORD lives, no punishment shall come upon you for this thing."

nkjv@1Samuel:28:11 @ Then the woman said, "Whom shall I bring up for you?" And he said, "Bring up Samuel for me."

nkjv@1Samuel:28:12 @ When the woman saw Samuel, she cried out with a loud voice. And the woman spoke to Saul, saying, "Why have you deceived me? For you are Saul!"

nkjv@1Samuel:28:13 @ And the king said to her, "Do not be afraid. What did you see?" And the woman said to Saul, "I saw a spirit ascending out of the earth."

nkjv@1Samuel:28:15 @ Now Samuel said to Saul, "Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?" And Saul answered, "I am deeply distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and God has departed from me and does not answer me anymore, neither by prophets nor by dreams. Therefore I have called you, that you may reveal to me what I should do."

nkjv@1Samuel:28:16 @ Then Samuel said: "So why do you ask me, seeing the LORD has departed from you and has become your enemy?

nkjv@1Samuel:28:17 @ And the LORD has done for Himself as He spoke by me. For the LORD has torn the kingdom out of your hand and given it to your neighbor, David.

nkjv@1Samuel:28:18 @ Because you did not obey the voice of the LORD nor execute His fierce wrath upon Amalek, therefore the LORD has done this thing to you this day.

nkjv@1Samuel:28:19 @ Moreover the LORD will also deliver Israel with you into the hand of the Philistines. And tomorrow you and your sons will be with me. The LORD will also deliver the army of Israel into the hand of the Philistines."

nkjv@1Samuel:28:21 @ And the woman came to Saul and saw that he was severely troubled, and said to him, "Look, your maidservant has obeyed your voice, and I have put my life in my hands and heeded the words which you spoke to me.

nkjv@1Samuel:28:22 @ Now therefore, please, heed also the voice of your maidservant, and let me set a piece of bread before you; and eat, that you may have strength when you go on your way."

nkjv@1Samuel:29:4 @ But the princes of the Philistines were angry with him; so the princes of the Philistines said to him, "Make this fellow return, that he may go back to the place which you have appointed for him, and do not let him go down with us to battle, lest in the battle he become our adversary. For with what could he reconcile himself to his master, if not with the heads of these men?

nkjv@1Samuel:29:6 @ Then Achish called David and said to him, "Surely, as the LORD lives, you have been upright, and your going out and your coming in with me in the army is good in my sight. For to this day I have not found evil in you since the day of your coming to me. Nevertheless the lords do not favor you.

nkjv@1Samuel:29:7 @ Therefore return now, and go in peace, that you may not displease the lords of the Philistines."

nkjv@1Samuel:29:8 @ So David said to Achish, "But what have I done? And to this day what have you found in your servant as long as I have been with you, that I may not go and fight against the enemies of my lord the king?"

nkjv@1Samuel:29:9 @ Then Achish answered and said to David, "I know that you are as good in my sight as an angel of God; nevertheless the princes of the Philistines have said, "He shall not go up with us to the battle.'

nkjv@1Samuel:29:10 @ Now therefore, rise early in the morning with your master's servants who have come with you. And as soon as you are up early in the morning and have light, depart."

nkjv@1Samuel:30:8 @ So David inquired of the LORD, saying, "Shall I pursue this troop? Shall I overtake them?" And He answered him, "Pursue, for you shall surely overtake them and without fail recover all."

nkjv@1Samuel:30:13 @ Then David said to him, "To whom do you belong, and where are you from?" And he said, "I am a young man from Egypt, servant of an Amalekite; and my master left me behind, because three days ago I fell sick.

nkjv@1Samuel:30:15 @ And David said to him, "Can you take me down to this troop?" So he said, "Swear to me by God that you will neither kill me nor deliver me into the hands of my master, and I will take you down to this troop."

nkjv@1Samuel:30:17 @ Then David attacked them from twilight until the evening of the next day. Not a man of them escaped, except four hundred young men who rode on camels and fled.

nkjv@1Samuel:30:23 @ But David said, "My brethren, you shall not do so with what the LORD has given us, who has preserved us and delivered into our hand the troop that came against us.

nkjv@1Samuel:30:24 @ For who will heed you in this matter? But as his part is who goes down to the battle, so shall his part be who stays by the supplies; they shall share alike."

nkjv@1Samuel:30:26 @ Now when David came to Ziklag, he sent some of the spoil to the elders of Judah, to his friends, saying, "Here is a present for you from the spoil of the enemies of the LORD"--

nkjv@1Samuel:31:4 @ Then Saul said to his armorbearer, "Draw your sword, and thrust me through with it, lest these uncircumcised men come and thrust me through and abuse me." But his armorbearer would not, for he was greatly afraid. Therefore Saul took a sword and fell on it.

nkjv@2Samuel:1:3 @ And David said to him, "Where have you come from?" So he said to him, "I have escaped from the camp of Israel."

nkjv@2Samuel:1:5 @ So David said to the young man who told him, "How do you know that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead?"

nkjv@2Samuel:1:6 @ Then the young man who told him said, "As I happened by chance to be on Mount Gilboa, there was Saul, leaning on his spear; and indeed the chariots and horsemen followed hard after him.

nkjv@2Samuel:1:8 @ And he said to me, "Who are you?' So I answered him, "I am an Amalekite.'

nkjv@2Samuel:1:13 @ Then David said to the young man who told him, "Where are you from?" And he answered, "I am the son of an alien, an Amalekite."

nkjv@2Samuel:1:14 @ So David said to him, "How was it you were not afraid to put forth your hand to destroy the LORD's anointed?"

nkjv@2Samuel:1:15 @ Then David called one of the young men and said, "Go near, and execute him!" And he struck him so that he died.

nkjv@2Samuel:1:16 @ So David said to him, "Your blood is on your own head, for your own mouth has testified against you, saying, "I have killed the LORD's anointed."'

nkjv@2Samuel:1:19 @ "The beauty of Israel is slain on your high places! How the mighty have fallen!

nkjv@2Samuel:2:21 @ And Abner said to him, "Turn aside to your right hand or to your left, and lay hold on one of the young men and take his armor for yourself." But Asahel would not turn aside from following him.

nkjv@2Samuel:2:22 @ So Abner said again to Asahel, "Turn aside from following me. Why should I strike you to the ground? How then could I face your brother Joab?"

nkjv@2Samuel:2:26 @ Then Abner called to Joab and said, "Shall the sword devour forever? Do you not know that it will be bitter in the latter end? How long will it be then until you tell the people to return from pursuing their brethren?"

nkjv@2Samuel:2:27 @ And Joab said, "As God lives, unless you had spoken, surely then by morning all the people would have given up pursuing their brethren."

nkjv@2Samuel:3:7 @ And Saul had a concubine, whose name was Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah. So Ishbosheth said to Abner, "Why have you gone in to my father's concubine?"

nkjv@2Samuel:3:8 @ Then Abner became very angry at the words of Ishbosheth, and said, "Am I a dog's head that belongs to Judah?

nkjv@2Samuel:3:12 @ Then Abner sent messengers on his behalf to David, saying, "Whose is the land?" saying also, "Make your covenant with me, and indeed my hand shall be with you to bring all Israel to you."

nkjv@2Samuel:3:13 @ And David said, "Good, I will make a covenant with you. But one thing I require of you: you shall not see my face unless you first bring Michal, Saul's daughter, when you come to see my face."

nkjv@2Samuel:3:17 @ Now Abner had communicated with the elders of Israel, saying, "In time past you were seeking for David to be king over you.

nkjv@2Samuel:3:21 @ Then Abner said to David, "I will arise and go, and gather all Israel to my lord the king, that they may make a covenant with you, and that you may reign over all that your heart desires." So David sent Abner away, and he went in peace.

nkjv@2Samuel:3:24 @ Then Joab came to the king and said, "What have you done? Look, Abner came to you; why is it that you sent him away, and he has already gone?

nkjv@2Samuel:3:25 @ Surely you realize that Abner the son of Ner came to deceive you, to know your going out and your coming in, and to know all that you are doing."

nkjv@2Samuel:10:3 @ And the princes of the people of Ammon said to Hanun their lord, "Do you think that David really honors your father because he has sent comforters to you? Has David not rather sent his servants to you to search the city, to spy it out, and to overthrow it?"

nkjv@2Samuel:10:5 @ When they told David, he sent to meet them, because the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, "Wait at Jericho until your beards have grown, and then return."

nkjv@2Samuel:19:7 @ Now therefore, arise, go out and speak comfort to your servants. For I swear by the LORD, if you do not go out, not one will stay with you this night. And that will be worse for you than all the evil that has befallen you from your youth until now."

nkjv@2Samuel:19:10 @ But Absalom, whom we anointed over us, has died in battle. Now therefore, why do you say nothing about bringing back the king?"

nkjv@2Samuel:19:11 @ So King David sent to Zadok and Abiathar the priests, saying, "Speak to the elders of Judah, saying, "Why are you the last to bring the king back to his house, since the words of all Israel have come to the king, to his very house?

nkjv@2Samuel:19:26 @ And he answered, "My lord, O king, my servant deceived me. For your servant said, "I will saddle a donkey for myself, that I may ride on it and go to the king,' because your servant is lame.

nkjv@2Samuel:19:27 @ And he has slandered your servant to my lord the king, but my lord the king is like the angel of God. Therefore do what is good in your eyes.

nkjv@2Samuel:19:28 @ For all my father's house were but dead men before my lord the king. Yet you set your servant among those who eat at your own table. Therefore what right have I still to cry out anymore to the king?"

nkjv@2Samuel:19:29 @ So the king said to him, "Why do you speak anymore of your matters? I have said, "You and Ziba divide the land."'

nkjv@2Samuel:19:35 @ I am today eighty years old. Can I discern between the good and bad? Can your servant taste what I eat or what I drink? Can I hear any longer the voice of singing men and singing women? Why then should your servant be a further burden to my lord the king?

nkjv@2Samuel:19:41 @ Just then all the men of Israel came to the king, and said to the king, "Why have our brethren, the men of Judah, stolen you away and brought the king, his household, and all David's men with him across the Jordan?"

nkjv@2Samuel:19:42 @ So all the men of Judah answered the men of Israel, "Because the king is a close relative of ours. Why then are you angry over this matter? Have we ever eaten at the king's expense? Or has he given us any gift?"

nkjv@2Samuel:19:43 @ And the men of Israel answered the men of Judah, and said, "We have ten shares in the king; therefore we also have more right to David than you.

nkjv@2Samuel:20:16 @ Then a wise woman cried out from the city, "Hear, hear! Please say to Joab, "Come nearby, that I may speak with you."'

nkjv@2Samuel:20:17 @ When he had come near to her, the woman said, "Are you Joab?" He answered, "I am." Then she said to him, "Hear the words of your maidservant." And he answered, "I am listening."

nkjv@2Samuel:20:19 @ I am among the peaceable and faithful in Israel. You seek to destroy a city and a mother in Israel. Why would you swallow up the inheritance of the LORD?"

nkjv@2Samuel:20:21 @ That is not so. But a man from the mountains of Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri by name, has raised his hand against the king, against David. Deliver him only, and I will depart from the city." So the woman said to Joab, "Watch, his head will be thrown to you over the wall."

nkjv@2Samuel:21:3 @ Therefore David said to the Gibeonites, "What shall I do for you? And with what shall I make atonement, that you may bless the inheritance of the LORD?"

nkjv@2Samuel:21:4 @ And the Gibeonites said to him, "We will have no silver or gold from Saul or from his house, nor shall you kill any man in Israel for us." So he said, "Whatever you say, I will do for you."

nkjv@2Samuel:21:17 @ But Abishai the son of Zeruiah came to his aid, and struck the Philistine and killed him. Then the men of David swore to him, saying, "You shall go out no more with us to battle, lest you quench the lamp of Israel."

nkjv@2Samuel:24:16 @ And when the angel stretched out His hand over Jerusalem to destroy it, the LORD relented from the destruction, and said to the angel who was destroying the people, "It is enough; now restrain your hand." And the angel of the LORD was by the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.

nkjv@2Samuel:24:17 @ Then David spoke to the LORD when he saw the angel who was striking the people, and said, "Surely I have sinned, and I have done wickedly; but these sheep, what have they done? Let Your hand, I pray, be against me and against my father's house."

nkjv@2Samuel:24:21 @ Then Araunah said, "Why has my lord the king come to his servant?" And David said, "To buy the threshing floor from you, to build an altar to the LORD, that the plague may be withdrawn from the people."

nkjv@2Samuel:24:23 @ All these, O king, Araunah has given to the king." And Araunah said to the king, "May the LORD your God accept you."

nkjv@2Samuel:24:24 @ Then the king said to Araunah, "No, but I will surely buy it from you for a price; nor will I offer burnt offerings to the LORD my God with that which costs me nothing." So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.

nkjv@Ezra:1:3 @ Who is among you of all His people? May his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem which is in Judah, and build the house of the LORD God of Israel (He is God), which is in Jerusalem.

nkjv@Ezra:4:11 @ (This is a copy of the letter that they sent him) To King Artaxerxes from your servants, the men of the region beyond the River, and so forth:

nkjv@Ezra:4:12 @ Let it be known to the king that the Jews who came up from you have come to us at Jerusalem, and are building the rebellious and evil city, and are finishing its walls and repairing the foundations.

nkjv@Ezra:4:15 @ that search may be made in the book of the records of your fathers. And you will find in the book of the records and know that this city is a rebellious city, harmful to kings and provinces, and that they have incited sedition within the city in former times, for which cause this city was destroyed.

nkjv@Ezra:4:16 @ We inform the king that if this city is rebuilt and its walls are completed, the result will be that you will have no dominion beyond the River.

nkjv@Ezra:4:18 @ The letter which you sent to us has been clearly read before me.

nkjv@Ezra:4:22 @ Take heed now that you do not fail to do this. Why should damage increase to the hurt of the kings?

nkjv@Ezra:5:3 @ At the same time Tattenai the governor of the region beyond the River and Shethar-Boznai and their companions came to them and spoke thus to them: "Who has commanded you to build this temple and finish this wall?"

nkjv@Ezra:5:9 @ Then we asked those elders, and spoke thus to them: "Who commanded you to build this temple and to finish these walls?"

nkjv@Ezra:5:10 @ We also asked them their names to inform you, that we might write the names of the men who were chief among them.

nkjv@Ezra:6:6 @ Now therefore, Tattenai, governor of the region beyond the River, and Shethar-Boznai, and your companions the Persians who are beyond the River, keep yourselves far from there.

nkjv@Ezra:6:8 @ Moreover I issue a decree as to what you shall do for the elders of these Jews, for the building of this house of God: Let the cost be paid at the king's expense from taxes on the region beyond the River; this is to be given immediately to these men, so that they are not hindered.

nkjv@Ezra:6:9 @ And whatever they need--young bulls, rams, and lambs for the burnt offerings of the God of heaven, wheat, salt, wine, and oil, according to the request of the priests who are in Jerusalem--let it be given them day by day without fail,

nkjv@Ezra:7:13 @ I issue a decree that all those of the people of Israel and the priests and Levites in my realm, who volunteer to go up to Jerusalem, may go with you.

nkjv@Ezra:7:15 @ and whereas you are to carry the silver and gold which the king and his counselors have freely offered to the God of Israel, whose dwelling is in Jerusalem;

nkjv@Ezra:7:16 @ and whereas all the silver and gold that you may find in all the province of Babylon, along with the freewill offering of the people and the priests, are to be freely offered for the house of their God in Jerusalem--

nkjv@Ezra:7:17 @ now therefore, be careful to buy with this money bulls, rams, and lambs, with their grain offerings and their drink offerings, and offer them on the altar of the house of your God in Jerusalem.

nkjv@Ezra:7:18 @ And whatever seems good to you and your brethren to do with the rest of the silver and the gold, do it according to the will of your God.

nkjv@Ezra:7:19 @ Also the articles that are given to you for the service of the house of your God, deliver in full before the God of Jerusalem.

nkjv@Ezra:7:20 @ And whatever more may be needed for the house of your God, which you may have occasion to provide, pay for it from the king's treasury.

nkjv@Ezra:7:25 @ And you, Ezra, according to your God-given wisdom, set magistrates and judges who may judge all the people who are in the region beyond the River, all such as know the laws of your God; and teach those who do not know them.

nkjv@Ezra:7:26 @ Whoever will not observe the law of your God and the law of the king, let judgment be executed speedily on him, whether it be death, or banishment, or confiscation of goods, or imprisonment.

nkjv@Ezra:9:6 @ And I said: "O my God, I am too ashamed and humiliated to lift up my face to You, my God; for our iniquities have risen higher than our heads, and our guilt has grown up to the heavens.

nkjv@Ezra:9:10 @ And now, O our God, what shall we say after this? For we have forsaken Your commandments,

nkjv@Ezra:9:11 @ which You commanded by Your servants the prophets, saying, "The land which you are entering to possess is an unclean land, with the uncleanness of the peoples of the lands, with their abominations which have filled it from one end to another with their impurity.

nkjv@Ezra:9:13 @ And after all that has come upon us for our evil deeds and for our great guilt, since You our God have punished us less than our iniquities deserve, and have given us such deliverance as this,

nkjv@Ezra:9:14 @ should we again break Your commandments, and join in marriage with the people committing these abominations? Would You not be angry with us until You had consumed us, so that there would be no remnant or survivor?

nkjv@Ezra:9:15 @ O LORD God of Israel, You are righteous, for we are left as a remnant, as it is this day. Here we are before You, in our guilt, though no one can stand before You because of this!"

nkjv@Ezra:10:4 @ Arise, for this matter is your responsibility. We also are with you. Be of good courage, and do it."

nkjv@Ezra:10:10 @ Then Ezra the priest stood up and said to them, "You have transgressed and have taken pagan wives, adding to the guilt of Israel.

nkjv@Ezra:10:11 @ Now therefore, make confession to the LORD God of your fathers, and do His will; separate yourselves from the peoples of the land, and from the pagan wives."

nkjv@Ezra:10:12 @ Then all the assembly answered and said with a loud voice, "Yes! As you have said, so we must do.

nkjv@Nehemiah:2:2 @ Therefore the king said to me, "Why is your face sad, since you are not sick? This is nothing but sorrow of heart." So I became dreadfully afraid,

nkjv@Nehemiah:2:4 @ Then the king said to me, "What do you request?" So I prayed to the God of heaven.

nkjv@Nehemiah:2:5 @ And I said to the king, "If it pleases the king, and if your servant has found favor in your sight, I ask that you send me to Judah, to the city of my fathers' tombs, that I may rebuild it."

nkjv@Nehemiah:2:17 @ Then I said to them, "You see the distress that we are in, how Jerusalem lies waste, and its gates are burned with fire. Come and let us build the wall of Jerusalem, that we may no longer be a reproach."

nkjv@Nehemiah:2:19 @ But when Sanballat the Horonite, Tobiah the Ammonite official, and Geshem the Arab heard of it, they laughed at us and despised us, and said, "What is this thing that you are doing? Will you rebel against the king?"

nkjv@Nehemiah:2:20 @ So I answered them, and said to them, "The God of heaven Himself will prosper us; therefore we His servants will arise and build, but you have no heritage or right or memorial in Jerusalem."

nkjv@Nehemiah:4:5 @ Do not cover their iniquity, and do not let their sin be blotted out from before You; for they have provoked You to anger before the builders.

nkjv@Nehemiah:4:12 @ So it was, when the Jews who dwelt near them came, that they told us ten times, "From whatever place you turn, they will be upon us."

nkjv@Nehemiah:4:14 @ And I looked, and arose and said to the nobles, to the leaders, and to the rest of the people, "Do not be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, great and awesome, and fight for your brethren, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your houses."

nkjv@Nehemiah:4:20 @ Wherever you hear the sound of the trumpet, rally to us there. Our God will fight for us."

nkjv@Nehemiah:5:7 @ After serious thought, I rebuked the nobles and rulers, and said to them, "Each of you is exacting usury from his brother." So I called a great assembly against them.

nkjv@Nehemiah:5:8 @ And I said to them, "According to our ability we have redeemed our Jewish brethren who were sold to the nations. Now indeed, will you even sell your brethren? Or should they be sold to us?" Then they were silenced and found nothing to say.

nkjv@Nehemiah:5:9 @ Then I said, "What you are doing is not good. Should you not walk in the fear of our God because of the reproach of the nations, our enemies?

nkjv@Nehemiah:5:11 @ Restore now to them, even this day, their lands, their vineyards, their olive groves, and their houses, also a hundredth of the money and the grain, the new wine and the oil, that you have charged them."

nkjv@Nehemiah:5:12 @ So they said, "We will restore it, and will require nothing from them; we will do as you say." Then I called the priests, and required an oath from them that they would do according to this promise.

nkjv@Nehemiah:6:3 @ So I sent messengers to them, saying, "I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down. Why should the work cease while I leave it and go down to you?"

nkjv@Nehemiah:6:6 @ In it was written: It is reported among the nations, and Geshem says, that you and the Jews plan to rebel; therefore, according to these rumors, you are rebuilding the wall, that you may be their king.

nkjv@Nehemiah:6:7 @ And you have also appointed prophets to proclaim concerning you at Jerusalem, saying, "There is a king in Judah!" Now these matters will be reported to the king. So come, therefore, and let us consult together.

nkjv@Nehemiah:6:8 @ Then I sent to him, saying, "No such things as you say are being done, but you invent them in your own heart."

nkjv@Nehemiah:6:10 @ Afterward I came to the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah, the son of Mehetabel, who was a secret informer; and he said, "Let us meet together in the house of God, within the temple, and let us close the doors of the temple, for they are coming to kill you; indeed, at night they will come to kill you."

nkjv@Nehemiah:8:9 @ And Nehemiah, who was the governor, Ezra the priest and scribe, and the Levites who taught the people said to all the people, "This day is holy to the LORD your God; do not mourn nor weep." For all the people wept, when they heard the words of the Law.

nkjv@Nehemiah:8:10 @ Then he said to them, "Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet, and send portions to those for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord. Do not sorrow, for the joy of the LORD is your strength."

nkjv@Nehemiah:9:5 @ And the Levites, Jeshua, Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabniah, Sherebiah, Hodijah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah, said: "Stand up and bless the LORD your God Forever and ever! "Blessed be Your glorious name, Which is exalted above all blessing and praise!

nkjv@Luke:7:25 @ But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft garments? Indeed those who are gorgeously appareled and live in luxury are in kings' courts.

nkjv@Luke:7:26 @ But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet.

nkjv@Luke:7:27 @ This is he of whom it is written: "Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, Who will prepare Your way before You.'

nkjv@Luke:7:28 @ For I say to you, among those born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist; but he who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he."

nkjv@Luke:7:32 @ They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling to one another, saying: "We played the flute for you, And you did not dance; We mourned to you, And you did not weep.'

nkjv@Luke:7:34 @ The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, "Look, a glutton and a winebibber, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!'

nkjv@Luke:7:40 @ And Jesus answered and said to him, "Simon, I have something to say to you." So he said, "Teacher, say it."

nkjv@Luke:7:43 @ Simon answered and said, "I suppose the one whom he forgave more." And He said to him, "You have rightly judged."

nkjv@Luke:7:44 @ Then He turned to the woman and said to Simon, "Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you gave Me no water for My feet, but she has washed My feet with her tears and wiped them with the hair of her head.

nkjv@Luke:7:45 @ You gave Me no kiss, but this woman has not ceased to kiss My feet since the time I came in.

nkjv@Luke:7:46 @ You did not anoint My head with oil, but this woman has anointed My feet with fragrant oil.

nkjv@Luke:7:47 @ Therefore I say to you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little."

nkjv@Luke:7:48 @ Then He said to her, "Your sins are forgiven."

nkjv@Luke:7:50 @ Then He said to the woman, "Your faith has saved you. Go in peace."

nkjv@Luke:8:39 @ "Return to your own house, and tell what great things God has done for you." And he went his way and proclaimed throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him.

nkjv@Luke:9:38 @ Suddenly a man from the multitude cried out, saying, "Teacher, I implore You, look on my son, for he is my only child.

nkjv@Luke:9:40 @ So I implored Your disciples to cast it out, but they could not."

nkjv@Luke:9:41 @ Then Jesus answered and said, "O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here."

nkjv@Luke:9:44 @ "Let these words sink down into your ears, for the Son of Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men."

nkjv@Luke:9:60 @ Jesus said to him, "Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and preach the kingdom of God."

nkjv@Luke:9:61 @ And another also said, "Lord, I will follow You, but let me first go and bid them farewell who are at my house."

nkjv@Luke:10:3 @ Go your way; behold, I send you out as lambs among wolves.

nkjv@Luke:10:6 @ And if a son of peace is there, your peace will rest on it; if not, it will return to you.

nkjv@Luke:10:8 @ Whatever city you enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you.

nkjv@Luke:10:9 @ And heal the sick there, and say to them, "The kingdom of God has come near to you.'

nkjv@Luke:10:10 @ But whatever city you enter, and they do not receive you, go out into its streets and say,

nkjv@Luke:10:11 @ "The very dust of your city which clings to us we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this, that the kingdom of God has come near you.'

nkjv@Luke:10:13 @ "Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.

nkjv@Luke:11:36 @ If then your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, the whole body will be full of light, as when the bright shining of a lamp gives you light."

nkjv@John:6:29 @ Jesus answered and said to them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent."

nkjv@John:6:30 @ Therefore they said to Him, "What sign will You perform then, that we may see it and believe You? What work will You do?

nkjv@John:6:32 @ Then Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread from heaven, but My Father gives you the true bread from heaven.

nkjv@John:6:36 @ But I said to you that you have seen Me and yet do not believe.

nkjv@John:6:43 @ Jesus therefore answered and said to them, "Do not murmur among yourselves.

nkjv@John:6:47 @ Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me has everlasting life.

nkjv@John:6:49 @ Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and are dead.

nkjv@John:6:53 @ Then Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you.

nkjv@John:6:58 @ This is the bread which came down from heaven--not as your fathers ate the manna, and are dead. He who eats this bread will live forever."

nkjv@John:6:61 @ When Jesus knew in Himself that His disciples complained about this, He said to them, "Does this offend you?

nkjv@John:6:62 @ What then if you should see the Son of Man ascend where He was before?

nkjv@John:6:63 @ It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.

nkjv@John:6:64 @ But there are some of you who do not believe." For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who would betray Him.

nkjv@John:6:65 @ And He said, "Therefore I have said to you that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted to him by My Father."

nkjv@John:6:67 @ Then Jesus said to the twelve, "Do you also want to go away?"

nkjv@John:6:68 @ But Simon Peter answered Him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.

nkjv@John:6:69 @ Also we have come to believe and know that You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."

nkjv@John:6:70 @ Jesus answered them, "Did I not choose you, the twelve, and one of you is a devil?"

nkjv@John:7:3 @ His brothers therefore said to Him, "Depart from here and go into Judea, that Your disciples also may see the works that You are doing.

nkjv@John:7:4 @ For no one does anything in secret while he himself seeks to be known openly. If You do these things, show Yourself to the world."

nkjv@John:7:6 @ Then Jesus said to them, "My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.

nkjv@John:7:7 @ The world cannot hate you, but it hates Me because I testify of it that its works are evil.

nkjv@John:7:8 @ You go up to this feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, for My time has not yet fully come."

nkjv@John:7:19 @ Did not Moses give you the law, yet none of you keeps the law? Why do you seek to kill Me?"

nkjv@John:7:20 @ The people answered and said, "You have a demon. Who is seeking to kill You?"

nkjv@John:7:21 @ Jesus answered and said to them, "I did one work, and you all marvel.

nkjv@John:7:22 @ Moses therefore gave you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers), and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath.

nkjv@John:7:23 @ If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath, so that the law of Moses should not be broken, are you angry with Me because I made a man completely well on the Sabbath?

nkjv@John:7:28 @ Then Jesus cried out, as He taught in the temple, saying, "You both know Me, and you know where I am from; and I have not come of Myself, but He who sent Me is true, whom you do not know.

nkjv@John:7:33 @ Then Jesus said to them, "I shall be with you a little while longer, and then I go to Him who sent Me.

nkjv@John:7:34 @ You will seek Me and not find Me, and where I am you cannot come."

nkjv@John:7:36 @ What is this thing that He said, "You will seek Me and not find Me, and where I am you cannot come'?"

nkjv@John:7:45 @ Then the officers came to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, "Why have you not brought Him?"

nkjv@John:7:47 @ Then the Pharisees answered them, "Are you also deceived?

nkjv@John:7:52 @ They answered and said to him, "Are you also from Galilee? Search and look, for no prophet has arisen out of Galilee."

nkjv@John:8:5 @ Now Moses, in the law, commanded us that such should be stoned. But what do You say?"

nkjv@John:8:7 @ So when they continued asking Him, He raised Himself up and said to them, "He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first."

nkjv@John:8:10 @ When Jesus had raised Himself up and saw no one but the woman, He said to her, "Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?"

nkjv@John:8:11 @ She said, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said to her, "Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more."

nkjv@John:8:13 @ The Pharisees therefore said to Him, "You bear witness of Yourself; Your witness is not true."

nkjv@John:8:14 @ Jesus answered and said to them, "Even if I bear witness of Myself, My witness is true, for I know where I came from and where I am going; but you do not know where I come from and where I am going.

nkjv@John:8:15 @ You judge according to the flesh; I judge no one.

nkjv@John:8:17 @ It is also written in your law that the testimony of two men is true.

nkjv@John:8:19 @ Then they said to Him, "Where is Your Father?" Jesus answered, "You know neither Me nor My Father. If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also."

nkjv@John:8:21 @ Then Jesus said to them again, "I am going away, and you will seek Me, and will die in your sin. Where I go you cannot come."

nkjv@John:8:22 @ So the Jews said, "Will He kill Himself, because He says, "Where I go you cannot come'?"

nkjv@John:8:23 @ And He said to them, "You are from beneath; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.

nkjv@John:8:24 @ Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins."

nkjv@John:8:25 @ Then they said to Him, "Who are You?" And Jesus said to them, "Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning.

nkjv@John:8:26 @ I have many things to say and to judge concerning you, but He who sent Me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I heard from Him."

nkjv@John:8:28 @ Then Jesus said to them, "When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and that I do nothing of Myself; but as My Father taught Me, I speak these things.

nkjv@John:8:31 @ Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, "If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed.

nkjv@John:8:32 @ And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."

nkjv@John:8:33 @ They answered Him, "We are Abraham's descendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can You say, "You will be made free'?"

nkjv@John:8:34 @ Jesus answered them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin.

nkjv@John:8:36 @ Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.

nkjv@John:8:37 @ "I know that you are Abraham's descendants, but you seek to kill Me, because My word has no place in you.

nkjv@John:8:38 @ I speak what I have seen with My Father, and you do what you have seen with your father."

nkjv@John:8:39 @ They answered and said to Him, "Abraham is our father." Jesus said to them, "If you were Abraham's children, you would do the works of Abraham.

nkjv@John:8:40 @ But now you seek to kill Me, a Man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. Abraham did not do this.

nkjv@John:8:41 @ You do the deeds of your father." Then they said to Him, "We were not born of fornication; we have one Father--God."

nkjv@John:8:42 @ Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and came from God; nor have I come of Myself, but He sent Me.

nkjv@John:8:43 @ Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word.

nkjv@John:8:44 @ You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.

nkjv@John:8:45 @ But because I tell the truth, you do not believe Me.

nkjv@John:8:46 @ Which of you convicts Me of sin? And if I tell the truth, why do you not believe Me?

nkjv@John:8:47 @ He who is of God hears God's words; therefore you do not hear, because you are not of God."

nkjv@John:8:48 @ Then the Jews answered and said to Him, "Do we not say rightly that You are a Samaritan and have a demon?"

nkjv@John:8:49 @ Jesus answered, "I do not have a demon; but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me.

nkjv@John:8:51 @ Most assuredly, I say to you, if anyone keeps My word he shall never see death."

nkjv@John:8:52 @ Then the Jews said to Him, "Now we know that You have a demon! Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and You say, "If anyone keeps My word he shall never taste death.'

nkjv@John:8:53 @ Are You greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? And the prophets are dead. Who do You make Yourself out to be?"

nkjv@John:8:54 @ Jesus answered, "If I honor Myself, My honor is nothing. It is My Father who honors Me, of whom you say that He is your God.

nkjv@John:8:55 @ Yet you have not known Him, but I know Him. And if I say, "I do not know Him,' I shall be a liar like you; but I do know Him and keep His word.

nkjv@John:8:56 @ Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad."

nkjv@John:8:57 @ Then the Jews said to Him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?"

nkjv@John:8:58 @ Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM."

nkjv@John:9:10 @ Therefore they said to him, "How were your eyes opened?"

nkjv@John:9:17 @ They said to the blind man again, "What do you say about Him because He opened your eyes?" He said, "He is a prophet."

nkjv@John:9:19 @ And they asked them, saying, "Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then does he now see?"

nkjv@John:9:26 @ Then they said to him again, "What did He do to you? How did He open your eyes?"

nkjv@John:9:27 @ He answered them, "I told you already, and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you also want to become His disciples?"

nkjv@John:9:28 @ Then they reviled him and said, "You are His disciple, but we are Moses' disciples.

nkjv@John:9:30 @ The man answered and said to them, "Why, this is a marvelous thing, that you do not know where He is from; yet He has opened my eyes!

nkjv@John:9:34 @ They answered and said to him, "You were completely born in sins, and are you teaching us?" And they cast him out.

nkjv@John:9:35 @ Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when He had found him, He said to him, "Do you believe in the Son of God?"

nkjv@John:9:37 @ And Jesus said to him, "You have both seen Him and it is He who is talking with you."

nkjv@John:9:41 @ Jesus said to them, "If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, "We see.' Therefore your sin remains.

nkjv@John:10:1 @ "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.

nkjv@John:10:7 @ Then Jesus said to them again, "Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.

nkjv@John:10:20 @ And many of them said, "He has a demon and is mad. Why do you listen to Him?"

nkjv@John:10:24 @ Then the Jews surrounded Him and said to Him, "How long do You keep us in doubt? If You are the Christ, tell us plainly."

nkjv@John:10:25 @ Jesus answered them, "I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in My Father's name, they bear witness of Me.

nkjv@John:10:26 @ But you do not believe, because you are not of My sheep, as I said to you.

nkjv@John:10:32 @ Jesus answered them, "Many good works I have shown you from My Father. For which of those works do you stone Me?"

nkjv@John:10:33 @ The Jews answered Him, saying, "For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy, and because You, being a Man, make Yourself God."

nkjv@John:10:34 @ Jesus answered them, "Is it not written in your law, "I said, "You are gods"'?

nkjv@John:10:36 @ do you say of Him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, "You are blaspheming,' because I said, "I am the Son of God'?

nkjv@John:10:38 @ but if I do, though you do not believe Me, believe the works, that you may know and believe that the Father is in Me, and I in Him."

nkjv@John:11:3 @ Therefore the sisters sent to Him, saying, "Lord, behold, he whom You love is sick."

nkjv@John:11:8 @ The disciples said to Him, "Rabbi, lately the Jews sought to stone You, and are You going there again?"

nkjv@John:11:15 @ And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, that you may believe. Nevertheless let us go to him."

nkjv@John:11:21 @ Now Martha said to Jesus, "Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.

nkjv@John:11:22 @ But even now I know that whatever You ask of God, God will give You."

nkjv@John:11:23 @ Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise again."

nkjv@John:11:26 @ And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?"

nkjv@John:11:27 @ She said to Him, "Yes, Lord, I believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God, who is to come into the world."

nkjv@John:11:28 @ And when she had said these things, she went her way and secretly called Mary her sister, saying, "The Teacher has come and is calling for you."

nkjv@John:11:32 @ Then, when Mary came where Jesus was, and saw Him, she fell down at His feet, saying to Him, "Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died."

nkjv@John:11:34 @ And He said, "Where have you laid him?" They said to Him, "Lord, come and see."

nkjv@John:11:40 @ Jesus said to her, "Did I not say to you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?"

nkjv@John:11:41 @ Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying. And Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, "Father, I thank You that You have heard Me.

nkjv@John:11:42 @ And I know that You always hear Me, but because of the people who are standing by I said this, that they may believe that You sent Me."

nkjv@John:11:49 @ And one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, "You know nothing at all,

nkjv@John:11:50 @ nor do you consider that it is expedient for us that one man should die for the people, and not that the whole nation should perish."

nkjv@John:11:56 @ Then they sought Jesus, and spoke among themselves as they stood in the temple, "What do you think--that He will not come to the feast?"

nkjv@John:12:8 @ For the poor you have with you always, but Me you do not have always."

nkjv@John:12:14 @ Then Jesus, when He had found a young donkey, sat on it; as it is written:

nkjv@John:12:15 @ "Fear not, daughter of Zion; Behold, your King is coming, Sitting on a donkey's colt."

nkjv@John:12:19 @ The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, "You see that you are accomplishing nothing. Look, the world has gone after Him!"

nkjv@John:12:24 @ Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain.

nkjv@John:12:28 @ Father, glorify Your name." Then a voice came from heaven, saying, "I have both glorified it and will glorify it again."

nkjv@John:12:30 @ Jesus answered and said, "This voice did not come because of Me, but for your sake.

nkjv@John:12:34 @ The people answered Him, "We have heard from the law that the Christ remains forever; and how can You say, "The Son of Man must be lifted up'? Who is this Son of Man?"

nkjv@John:12:35 @ Then Jesus said to them, "A little while longer the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you; he who walks in darkness does not know where he is going.

nkjv@John:12:36 @ While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light." These things Jesus spoke, and departed, and was hidden from them.

nkjv@John:13:6 @ Then He came to Simon Peter. And Peter said to Him, "Lord, are You washing my feet?"

nkjv@John:13:7 @ Jesus answered and said to him, "What I am doing you do not understand now, but you will know after this."

nkjv@John:13:8 @ Peter said to Him, "You shall never wash my feet!" Jesus answered him, "If I do not wash you, you have no part with Me."

nkjv@John:13:10 @ Jesus said to him, "He who is bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean; and you are clean, but not all of you."

nkjv@John:13:11 @ For He knew who would betray Him; therefore He said, "You are not all clean."

nkjv@John:13:12 @ So when He had washed their feet, taken His garments, and sat down again, He said to them, "Do you know what I have done to you?

nkjv@John:13:13 @ You call Me Teacher and Lord, and you say well, for so I am.

nkjv@John:13:14 @ If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet.

nkjv@John:13:15 @ For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you.

nkjv@John:13:16 @ Most assuredly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master; nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him.

nkjv@John:13:17 @ If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.

nkjv@John:13:18 @ "I do not speak concerning all of you. I know whom I have chosen; but that the Scripture may be fulfilled, "He who eats bread with Me has lifted up his heel against Me.'

nkjv@John:13:19 @ Now I tell you before it comes, that when it does come to pass, you may believe that I am He.

nkjv@John:13:20 @ Most assuredly, I say to you, he who receives whomever I send receives Me; and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me."

nkjv@John:13:21 @ When Jesus had said these things, He was troubled in spirit, and testified and said, "Most assuredly, I say to you, one of you will betray Me."

nkjv@John:13:27 @ Now after the piece of bread, Satan entered him. Then Jesus said to him, "What you do, do quickly."

nkjv@John:13:33 @ Little children, I shall be with you a little while longer. You will seek Me; and as I said to the Jews, "Where I am going, you cannot come,' so now I say to you.

nkjv@Romans:2:23 @ You who make your boast in the law, do you dishonor God through breaking the law?

nkjv@Romans:2:24 @ For "the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you," as it is written.

nkjv@Romans:2:25 @ For circumcision is indeed profitable if you keep the law; but if you are a breaker of the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.

nkjv@Romans:2:27 @ And will not the physically uncircumcised, if he fulfills the law, judge you who, even with your written code and circumcision, are a transgressor of the law?

nkjv@Romans:3:4 @ Certainly not! Indeed, let God be true but every man a liar. As it is written: "That You may be justified in Your words, And may overcome when You are judged."

nkjv@Romans:4:17 @ (as it is written, "I have made you a father of many nations" ) in the presence of Him whom he believed--God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did;

nkjv@Romans:4:18 @ who, contrary to hope, in hope believed, so that he became the father of many nations, according to what was spoken, "So shall your descendants be."

nkjv@Romans:6:3 @ Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?

nkjv@Romans:6:11 @ Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

nkjv@Romans:6:12 @ Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.

nkjv@Romans:6:13 @ And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.

nkjv@Romans:6:14 @ For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.

nkjv@Romans:6:16 @ Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one's slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness?

nkjv@Romans:6:17 @ But God be thanked that though you were slaves of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine to which you were delivered.

nkjv@Romans:6:18 @ And having been set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness.

nkjv@Romans:6:19 @ I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves of uncleanness, and of lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves of righteousness for holiness.

nkjv@Romans:6:20 @ For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness.

nkjv@Romans:6:21 @ What fruit did you have then in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.

nkjv@Romans:6:22 @ But now having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end, everlasting life.

nkjv@Romans:7:1 @ Or do you not know, brethren (for I speak to those who know the law), that the law has dominion over a man as long as he lives?

nkjv@Romans:7:4 @ Therefore, my brethren, you also have become dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you may be married to another--to Him who was raised from the dead, that we should bear fruit to God.

nkjv@Romans:7:7 @ What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! On the contrary, I would not have known sin except through the law. For I would not have known covetousness unless the law had said, "You shall not covet."

nkjv@Romans:8:9 @ But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.

nkjv@Romans:8:10 @ And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

nkjv@Romans:8:11 @ But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.

nkjv@Romans:8:13 @ For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

nkjv@Romans:8:15 @ For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, "Abba, Father."

nkjv@Romans:8:36 @ As it is written: "For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter."

nkjv@Romans:9:7 @ nor are they all children because they are the seed of Abraham; but, "In Isaac your seed shall be called."

nkjv@Romans:9:12 @ it was said to her, "The older shall serve the younger."

nkjv@Romans:9:17 @ For the Scripture says to the Pharaoh, "For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I may show My power in you, and that My name may be declared in all the earth."

nkjv@Romans:9:19 @ You will say to me then, "Why does He still find fault? For who has resisted His will?"

nkjv@Romans:9:20 @ But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed say to him who formed it, "Why have you made me like this?"

nkjv@Romans:9:26 @ "And it shall come to pass in the place where it was said to them, "You are not My people,' There they shall be called sons of the living God."

nkjv@Romans:10:6 @ But the righteousness of faith speaks in this way, "Do not say in your heart, "Who will ascend into heaven?"' (that is, to bring Christ down from above)

nkjv@Romans:10:8 @ But what does it say? "The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart" (that is, the word of faith which we preach):

nkjv@Romans:10:9 @ that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

nkjv@Romans:10:19 @ But I say, did Israel not know? First Moses says: "I will provoke you to jealousy by those who are not a nation, I will move you to anger by a foolish nation."

nkjv@Romans:11:2 @ God has not cast away His people whom He foreknew. Or do you not know what the Scripture says of Elijah, how he pleads with God against Israel, saying,

nkjv@Romans:11:3 @ "LORD, they have killed Your prophets and torn down Your altars, and I alone am left, and they seek my life"?

nkjv@Romans:11:13 @ For I speak to you Gentiles; inasmuch as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry,

nkjv@Romans:11:17 @ And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and with them became a partaker of the root and fatness of the olive tree,

nkjv@Romans:11:18 @ do not boast against the branches. But if you do boast, remember that you do not support the root, but the root supports you.

nkjv@Romans:11:19 @ You will say then, "Branches were broken off that I might be grafted in."

nkjv@Romans:11:20 @ Well said. Because of unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by faith. Do not be haughty, but fear.

nkjv@Romans:11:21 @ For if God did not spare the natural branches, He may not spare you either.

nkjv@Romans:11:22 @ Therefore consider the goodness and severity of God: on those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in His goodness. Otherwise you also will be cut off.

nkjv@Romans:11:24 @ For if you were cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, who are natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?

nkjv@Romans:11:25 @ For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in.

nkjv@Romans:11:28 @ Concerning the gospel they are enemies for your sake, but concerning the election they are beloved for the sake of the fathers.

nkjv@Romans:11:30 @ For as you were once disobedient to God, yet have now obtained mercy through their disobedience,

nkjv@Romans:11:31 @ even so these also have now been disobedient, that through the mercy shown you they also may obtain mercy.

nkjv@Romans:12:1 @ I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.

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

nkjv@Romans:12:3 @ For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith.

nkjv@Romans:12:14 @ Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.

nkjv@Romans:12:16 @ Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion.

nkjv@Romans:12:18 @ If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men.

nkjv@Romans:12:19 @ Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, "Vengeance is Mine, I will repay," says the Lord.

nkjv@Romans:12:20 @ Therefore "If your enemy is hungry, feed him; If he is thirsty, give him a drink; For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head."

nkjv@Romans:13:3 @ For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same.

nkjv@Romans:13:4 @ For he is God's minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God's minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil.

nkjv@Romans:13:5 @ Therefore you must be subject, not only because of wrath but also for conscience' sake.

nkjv@Romans:13:6 @ For because of this you also pay taxes, for they are God's ministers attending continually to this very thing.

nkjv@Romans:13:9 @ For the commandments, "You shall not commit adultery," "You shall not murder," "You shall not steal," "You shall not bear false witness," "You shall not covet," and if there is any other commandment, are all summed up in this saying, namely, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."

nkjv@Romans:14:4 @ Who are you to judge another's servant? To his own master he stands or falls. Indeed, he will be made to stand, for God is able to make him stand.

nkjv@Romans:14:10 @ But why do you judge your brother? Or why do you show contempt for your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.

nkjv@Romans:14:15 @ Yet if your brother is grieved because of your food, you are no longer walking in love. Do not destroy with your food the one for whom Christ died.

nkjv@Romans:14:16 @ Therefore do not let your good be spoken of as evil;

nkjv@Romans:14:21 @ It is good neither to eat meat nor drink wine nor do anything by which your brother stumbles or is offended or is made weak.

nkjv@Romans:14:22 @ Do you have faith? Have it to yourself before God. Happy is he who does not condemn himself in what he approves.

nkjv@Romans:15:3 @ For even Christ did not please Himself; but as it is written, "The reproaches of those who reproached You fell on Me."

nkjv@Romans:15:5 @ Now may the God of patience and comfort grant you to be like-minded toward one another, according to Christ Jesus,

nkjv@Romans:15:6 @ that you may with one mind and one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

nkjv@Romans:15:9 @ and that the Gentiles might glorify God for His mercy, as it is written: "For this reason I will confess to You among the Gentiles, And sing to Your name."

nkjv@Romans:15:11 @ And again: "Praise the LORD, all you Gentiles! Laud Him, all you peoples!"

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

nkjv@Romans:15:14 @ Now I myself am confident concerning you, my brethren, that you also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.

nkjv@Romans:15:15 @ Nevertheless, brethren, I have written more boldly to you on some points, as reminding you, because of the grace given to me by God,

nkjv@Romans:15:22 @ For this reason I also have been much hindered from coming to you.

nkjv@Romans:15:23 @ But now no longer having a place in these parts, and having a great desire these many years to come to you,

nkjv@Romans:15:24 @ whenever I journey to Spain, I shall come to you. For I hope to see you on my journey, and to be helped on my way there by you, if first I may enjoy your company for a while.

nkjv@Romans:15:28 @ Therefore, when I have performed this and have sealed to them this fruit, I shall go by way of you to Spain.

nkjv@Romans:15:29 @ But I know that when I come to you, I shall come in the fullness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ.

nkjv@Romans:15:30 @ Now I beg you, brethren, through the Lord Jesus Christ, and through the love of the Spirit, that you strive together with me in prayers to God for me,

nkjv@Romans:15:32 @ that I may come to you with joy by the will of God, and may be refreshed together with you.

nkjv@Romans:15:33 @ Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.

nkjv@Romans:16:1 @ I commend to you Phoebe our sister, who is a servant of the church in Cenchrea,

nkjv@Romans:16:2 @ that you may receive her in the Lord in a manner worthy of the saints, and assist her in whatever business she has need of you; for indeed she has been a helper of many and of myself also.

nkjv@Romans:16:16 @ Greet one another with a holy kiss. The churches of Christ greet you.

nkjv@Romans:16:17 @ Now I urge you, brethren, note those who cause divisions and offenses, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and avoid them.

nkjv@Romans:16:19 @ For your obedience has become known to all. Therefore I am glad on your behalf; but I want you to be wise in what is good, and simple concerning evil.

nkjv@Romans:16:20 @ And the God of peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.

nkjv@Romans:16:21 @ Timothy, my fellow worker, and Lucius, Jason, and Sosipater, my countrymen, greet you.

nkjv@Romans:16:22 @ I, Tertius, who wrote this epistle, greet you in the Lord.

nkjv@Romans:16:23 @ Gaius, my host and the host of the whole church, greets you. Erastus, the treasurer of the city, greets you, and Quartus, a brother.

nkjv@Romans:16:24 @ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

nkjv@Romans:16:25 @ Now to Him who is able to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery kept secret since the world began

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:3 @ Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:4 @ I thank my God always concerning you for the grace of God which was given to you by Christ Jesus,

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:5 @ that you were enriched in everything by Him in all utterance and all knowledge,

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:6 @ even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you,

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:7 @ so that you come short in no gift, eagerly waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ,

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:8 @ who will also confirm you to the end, that you may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:9 @ God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:10 @ Now I plead with you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:11 @ For it has been declared to me concerning you, my brethren, by those of Chloe's household, that there are contentions among you.

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:12 @ Now I say this, that each of you says, "I am of Paul," or "I am of Apollos," or "I am of Cephas," or "I am of Christ."

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:13 @ Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:14 @ I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius,

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:26 @ For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called.

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:30 @ But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God--and righteousness and sanctification and redemption--

nkjv@1Corinthians:2:1 @ And I, brethren, when I came to you, did not come with excellence of speech or of wisdom declaring to you the testimony of God.

nkjv@1Corinthians:2:2 @ For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.

nkjv@1Corinthians:2:3 @ I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling.

nkjv@1Corinthians:2:5 @ that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.

nkjv@1Corinthians:3:1 @ And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual people but as to carnal, as to babes in Christ.

nkjv@1Corinthians:3:2 @ I fed you with milk and not with solid food; for until now you were not able to receive it, and even now you are still not able;

nkjv@1Corinthians:3:3 @ for you are still carnal. For where there are envy, strife, and divisions among you, are you not carnal and behaving like mere men?

nkjv@1Corinthians:3:4 @ For when one says, "I am of Paul," and another, "I am of Apollos," are you not carnal?

nkjv@1Corinthians:3:5 @ Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers through whom you believed, as the Lord gave to each one?

nkjv@1Corinthians:3:9 @ For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, you are God's building.

nkjv@1Corinthians:3:16 @ Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?

nkjv@1Corinthians:3:17 @ If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.

nkjv@1Corinthians:3:18 @ Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you seems to be wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise.

nkjv@1Corinthians:3:21 @ Therefore let no one boast in men. For all things are yours:

nkjv@1Corinthians:3:22 @ whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas, or the world or life or death, or things present or things to come--all are yours.

nkjv@1Corinthians:3:23 @ And you are Christ's, and Christ is God's.

nkjv@1Corinthians:4:3 @ But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you or by a human court. In fact, I do not even judge myself.

nkjv@1Corinthians:4:6 @ Now these things, brethren, I have figuratively transferred to myself and Apollos for your sakes, that you may learn in us not to think beyond what is written, that none of you may be puffed up on behalf of one against the other.

nkjv@1Corinthians:4:7 @ For who makes you differ from another? And what do you have that you did not receive? Now if you did indeed receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it?

nkjv@1Corinthians:4:8 @ You are already full! You are already rich! You have reigned as kings without us--and indeed I could wish you did reign, that we also might reign with you!

nkjv@1Corinthians:4:10 @ We are fools for Christ's sake, but you are wise in Christ! We are weak, but you are strong! You are distinguished, but we are dishonored!

nkjv@1Corinthians:4:14 @ I do not write these things to shame you, but as my beloved children I warn you.

nkjv@1Corinthians:4:15 @ For though you might have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet you do not have many fathers; for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.

nkjv@1Corinthians:4:16 @ Therefore I urge you, imitate me.

nkjv@1Corinthians:4:17 @ For this reason I have sent Timothy to you, who is my beloved and faithful son in the Lord, who will remind you of my ways in Christ, as I teach everywhere in every church.

nkjv@1Corinthians:4:18 @ Now some are puffed up, as though I were not coming to you.

nkjv@1Corinthians:4:19 @ But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord wills, and I will know, not the word of those who are puffed up, but the power.

nkjv@1Corinthians:4:21 @ What do you want? Shall I come to you with a rod, or in love and a spirit of gentleness?

nkjv@1Corinthians:5:1 @ It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and such sexual immorality as is not even named among the Gentiles--that a man has his father's wife!

nkjv@1Corinthians:5:2 @ And you are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he who has done this deed might be taken away from among you.

nkjv@1Corinthians:5:4 @ In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when you are gathered together, along with my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,

nkjv@1Corinthians:5:6 @ Your glorying is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump?

nkjv@1Corinthians:5:7 @ Therefore purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, since you truly are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us.

nkjv@1Corinthians:5:9 @ I wrote to you in my epistle not to keep company with sexually immoral people.

nkjv@1Corinthians:5:10 @ Yet I certainly did not mean with the sexually immoral people of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world.

nkjv@1Corinthians:5:11 @ But now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone named a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner--not even to eat with such a person.

nkjv@1Corinthians:5:12 @ For what have I to do with judging those also who are outside? Do you not judge those who are inside?

nkjv@1Corinthians:5:13 @ But those who are outside God judges. Therefore "put away from yourselves the evil person."

nkjv@1Corinthians:6:1 @ Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the saints?

nkjv@1Corinthians:6:2 @ Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world will be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters?

nkjv@1Corinthians:6:3 @ Do you not know that we shall judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life?

nkjv@1Corinthians:6:4 @ If then you have judgments concerning things pertaining to this life, do you appoint those who are least esteemed by the church to judge?

nkjv@1Corinthians:6:5 @ I say this to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you, not even one, who will be able to judge between his brethren?

nkjv@1Corinthians:6:7 @ Now therefore, it is already an utter failure for you that you go to law against one another. Why do you not rather accept wrong? Why do you not rather let yourselves be cheated?

nkjv@1Corinthians:6:8 @ No, you yourselves do wrong and cheat, and you do these things to your brethren!

nkjv@1Corinthians:6:9 @ Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites,

nkjv@1Corinthians:6:11 @ And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.

nkjv@1Corinthians:6:15 @ Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a harlot? Certainly not!

nkjv@1Corinthians:6:16 @ Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body with her? For "the two," He says, "shall become one flesh."

nkjv@1Corinthians:6:19 @ Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?

nkjv@1Corinthians:6:20 @ For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:1 @ Now concerning the things of which you wrote to me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:5 @ Do not deprive one another except with consent for a time, that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again so that Satan does not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:14 @ For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband; otherwise your children would be unclean, but now they are holy.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:16 @ For how do you know, O wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, O husband, whether you will save your wife?

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:21 @ Were you called while a slave? Do not be concerned about it; but if you can be made free, rather use it.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:23 @ You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of men.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:27 @ Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek to be loosed. Are you loosed from a wife? Do not seek a wife.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:28 @ But even if you do marry, you have not sinned; and if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. Nevertheless such will have trouble in the flesh, but I would spare you.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:32 @ But I want you to be without care. He who is unmarried cares for the things of the Lord--how he may please the Lord.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:35 @ And this I say for your own profit, not that I may put a leash on you, but for what is proper, and that you may serve the Lord without distraction.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:36 @ But if any man thinks he is behaving improperly toward his virgin, if she is past the flower of youth, and thus it must be, let him do what he wishes. He does not sin; let them marry.

nkjv@1Corinthians:8:9 @ But beware lest somehow this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to those who are weak.

nkjv@1Corinthians:8:10 @ For if anyone sees you who have knowledge eating in an idol's temple, will not the conscience of him who is weak be emboldened to eat those things offered to idols?

nkjv@1Corinthians:8:11 @ And because of your knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died?

nkjv@1Corinthians:8:12 @ But when you thus sin against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.

nkjv@1Corinthians:9:1 @ Am I not an apostle? Am I not free? Have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? Are you not my work in the Lord?

nkjv@1Corinthians:9:2 @ If I am not an apostle to others, yet doubtless I am to you. For you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.

nkjv@1Corinthians:9:9 @ For it is written in the law of Moses, "You shall not muzzle an ox while it treads out the grain." Is it oxen God is concerned about?

nkjv@1Corinthians:9:11 @ If we have sown spiritual things for you, is it a great thing if we reap your material things?

nkjv@1Corinthians:9:12 @ If others are partakers of this right over you, are we not even more? Nevertheless we have not used this right, but endure all things lest we hinder the gospel of Christ.

nkjv@1Corinthians:9:13 @ Do you not know that those who minister the holy things eat of the things of the temple, and those who serve at the altar partake of the offerings of the altar?

nkjv@1Corinthians:9:23 @ Now this I do for the gospel's sake, that I may be partaker of it with you.

nkjv@1Corinthians:9:24 @ Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it.

nkjv@1Corinthians:10:1 @ Moreover, brethren, I do not want you to be unaware that all our fathers were under the cloud, all passed through the sea,

nkjv@1Corinthians:10:13 @ No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.

nkjv@1Corinthians:10:15 @ I speak as to wise men; judge for yourselves what I say.

nkjv@1Corinthians:10:20 @ Rather, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice they sacrifice to demons and not to God, and I do not want you to have fellowship with demons.

nkjv@1Corinthians:10:21 @ You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the Lord's table and of the table of demons.

nkjv@1Corinthians:10:27 @ If any of those who do not believe invites you to dinner, and you desire to go, eat whatever is set before you, asking no question for conscience' sake.

nkjv@1Corinthians:10:28 @ But if anyone says to you, "This was offered to idols," do not eat it for the sake of the one who told you, and for conscience' sake; for "the earth is the LORD's, and all its fullness."

nkjv@1Corinthians:10:29 @ "Conscience," I say, not your own, but that of the other. For why is my liberty judged by another man's conscience?

nkjv@1Corinthians:10:31 @ Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:2 @ Now I praise you, brethren, that you remember me in all things and keep the traditions just as I delivered them to you.

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:3 @ But I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ, the head of woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:13 @ Judge among yourselves. Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?

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

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:17 @ Now in giving these instructions I do not praise you, since you come together not for the better but for the worse.

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:18 @ For first of all, when you come together as a church, I hear that there are divisions among you, and in part I believe it.

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:19 @ For there must also be factions among you, that those who are approved may be recognized among you.

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:20 @ Therefore when you come together in one place, it is not to eat the Lord's Supper.

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:22 @ What! Do you not have houses to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the church of God and shame those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you in this? I do not praise you.

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:23 @ For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread;

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:24 @ and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, "Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me."

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:25 @ In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me."

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:26 @ For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death till He comes.

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:30 @ For this reason many are weak and sick among you, and many sleep.

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:33 @ Therefore, my brethren, when you come together to eat, wait for one another.

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:34 @ But if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, lest you come together for judgment. And the rest I will set in order when I come.

nkjv@1Corinthians:12:1 @ Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I do not want you to be ignorant:

nkjv@1Corinthians:12:2 @ You know that you were Gentiles, carried away to these dumb idols, however you were led.

nkjv@1Corinthians:12:3 @ Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus accursed, and no one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit.

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

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

nkjv@1Corinthians:12:31 @ But earnestly desire the best gifts. And yet I show you a more excellent way.

nkjv@1Corinthians:14:1 @ Pursue love, and desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.

nkjv@1Corinthians:14:5 @ I wish you all spoke with tongues, but even more that you prophesied; for he who prophesies is greater than he who speaks with tongues, unless indeed he interprets, that the church may receive edification.

nkjv@1Corinthians:14:6 @ But now, brethren, if I come to you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you unless I speak to you either by revelation, by knowledge, by prophesying, or by teaching?

nkjv@1Corinthians:14:9 @ So likewise you, unless you utter by the tongue words easy to understand, how will it be known what is spoken? For you will be speaking into the air.

nkjv@1Corinthians:14:12 @ Even so you, since you are zealous for spiritual gifts, let it be for the edification of the church that you seek to excel.

nkjv@1Corinthians:14:16 @ Otherwise, if you bless with the spirit, how will he who occupies the place of the uninformed say "Amen" at your giving of thanks, since he does not understand what you say?

nkjv@1Corinthians:14:17 @ For you indeed give thanks well, but the other is not edified.

nkjv@1Corinthians:14:18 @ I thank my God I speak with tongues more than you all;

nkjv@1Corinthians:14:23 @ Therefore if the whole church comes together in one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in those who are uninformed or unbelievers, will they not say that you are out of your mind?

nkjv@1Corinthians:14:25 @ And thus the secrets of his heart are revealed; and so, falling down on his face, he will worship God and report that God is truly among you.

nkjv@1Corinthians:14:26 @ How is it then, brethren? Whenever you come together, each of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a tongue, has a revelation, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification.

nkjv@1Corinthians:14:31 @ For you can all prophesy one by one, that all may learn and all may be encouraged.

nkjv@1Corinthians:14:34 @ Let your women keep silent in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak; but they are to be submissive, as the law also says.

nkjv@1Corinthians:14:36 @ Or did the word of God come originally from you? Or was it you only that it reached?

nkjv@1Corinthians:14:37 @ If anyone thinks himself to be a prophet or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things which I write to you are the commandments of the Lord.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:1 @ Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand,

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:2 @ by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you--unless you believed in vain.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:3 @ For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:11 @ Therefore, whether it was I or they, so we preach and so you believed.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:12 @ Now if Christ is preached that He has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:14 @ And if Christ is not risen, then our preaching is empty and your faith is also empty.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:17 @ And if Christ is not risen, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins!

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:31 @ I affirm, by the boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:34 @ Awake to righteousness, and do not sin; for some do not have the knowledge of God. I speak this to your shame.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:36 @ Foolish one, what you sow is not made alive unless it dies.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:37 @ And what you sow, you do not sow that body that shall be, but mere grain--perhaps wheat or some other grain.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:51 @ Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed--

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:55 @ "O Death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory?"

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:58 @ Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

nkjv@1Corinthians:16:1 @ Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given orders to the churches of Galatia, so you must do also:

nkjv@1Corinthians:16:2 @ On the first day of the week let each one of you lay something aside, storing up as he may prosper, that there be no collections when I come.

nkjv@1Corinthians:16:3 @ And when I come, whomever you approve by your letters I will send to bear your gift to Jerusalem.

nkjv@1Corinthians:16:5 @ Now I will come to you when I pass through Macedonia (for I am passing through Macedonia).

nkjv@1Corinthians:16:6 @ And it may be that I will remain, or even spend the winter with you, that you may send me on my journey, wherever I go.

nkjv@1Corinthians:16:7 @ For I do not wish to see you now on the way; but I hope to stay a while with you, if the Lord permits.

nkjv@1Corinthians:16:10 @ And if Timothy comes, see that he may be with you without fear; for he does the work of the Lord, as I also do.

nkjv@1Corinthians:16:12 @ Now concerning our brother Apollos, I strongly urged him to come to you with the brethren, but he was quite unwilling to come at this time; however, he will come when he has a convenient time.

nkjv@1Corinthians:16:14 @ Let all that you do be done with love.

nkjv@1Corinthians:16:15 @ I urge you, brethren--you know the household of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have devoted themselves to the ministry of the saints--

nkjv@1Corinthians:16:16 @ that you also submit to such, and to everyone who works and labors with us.

nkjv@1Corinthians:16:17 @ I am glad about the coming of Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus, for what was lacking on your part they supplied.

nkjv@1Corinthians:16:18 @ For they refreshed my spirit and yours. Therefore acknowledge such men.

nkjv@1Corinthians:16:19 @ The churches of Asia greet you. Aquila and Priscilla greet you heartily in the Lord, with the church that is in their house.

nkjv@1Corinthians:16:20 @ All the brethren greet you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.

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

nkjv@1Corinthians:16:24 @ My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.

nkjv@2Corinthians:1:2 @ Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

nkjv@2Corinthians:1:6 @ Now if we are afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effective for enduring the same sufferings which we also suffer. Or if we are comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation.

nkjv@2Corinthians:1:7 @ And our hope for you is steadfast, because we know that as you are partakers of the sufferings, so also you will partake of the consolation.

nkjv@2Corinthians:1:8 @ For we do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, of our trouble which came to us in Asia: that we were burdened beyond measure, above strength, so that we despaired even of life.

nkjv@2Corinthians:1:11 @ you also helping together in prayer for us, that thanks may be given by many persons on our behalf for the gift granted to us through many.

nkjv@2Corinthians:1:12 @ For our boasting is this: the testimony of our conscience that we conducted ourselves in the world in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom but by the grace of God, and more abundantly toward you.

nkjv@2Corinthians:1:13 @ For we are not writing any other things to you than what you read or understand. Now I trust you will understand, even to the end

nkjv@2Corinthians:1:14 @ (as also you have understood us in part), that we are your boast as you also are ours, in the day of the Lord Jesus.

nkjv@2Corinthians:1:15 @ And in this confidence I intended to come to you before, that you might have a second benefit--

nkjv@2Corinthians:1:16 @ to pass by way of you to Macedonia, to come again from Macedonia to you, and be helped by you on my way to Judea.

nkjv@2Corinthians:1:18 @ But as God is faithful, our word to you was not Yes and No.

nkjv@2Corinthians:1:19 @ For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us--by me, Silvanus, and Timothy--was not Yes and No, but in Him was Yes.

nkjv@2Corinthians:1:21 @ Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God,

nkjv@2Corinthians:1:23 @ Moreover I call God as witness against my soul, that to spare you I came no more to Corinth.

nkjv@2Corinthians:1:24 @ Not that we have dominion over your faith, but are fellow workers for your joy; for by faith you stand.

nkjv@2Corinthians:2:1 @ But I determined this within myself, that I would not come again to you in sorrow.

nkjv@2Corinthians:2:2 @ For if I make you sorrowful, then who is he who makes me glad but the one who is made sorrowful by me?

nkjv@2Corinthians:2:3 @ And I wrote this very thing to you, lest, when I came, I should have sorrow over those from whom I ought to have joy, having confidence in you all that my joy is the joy of you all.

nkjv@2Corinthians:2:4 @ For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote to you, with many tears, not that you should be grieved, but that you might know the love which I have so abundantly for you.

nkjv@2Corinthians:2:5 @ But if anyone has caused grief, he has not grieved me, but all of you to some extent--not to be too severe.

nkjv@2Corinthians:2:7 @ so that, on the contrary, you ought rather to forgive and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one be swallowed up with too much sorrow.

nkjv@2Corinthians:2:8 @ Therefore I urge you to reaffirm your love to him.

nkjv@2Corinthians:2:9 @ For to this end I also wrote, that I might put you to the test, whether you are obedient in all things.

nkjv@2Corinthians:2:10 @ Now whom you forgive anything, I also forgive. For if indeed I have forgiven anything, I have forgiven that one for your sakes in the presence of Christ,

nkjv@2Corinthians:3:1 @ Do we begin again to commend ourselves? Or do we need, as some others, epistles of commendation to you or letters of commendation from you?

nkjv@2Corinthians:3:2 @ You are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read by all men;

nkjv@2Corinthians:3:3 @ clearly you are an epistle of Christ, ministered by us, written not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of flesh, that is, of the heart.

nkjv@2Corinthians:4:5 @ For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your bondservants for Jesus' sake.

nkjv@2Corinthians:4:12 @ So then death is working in us, but life in you.

nkjv@2Corinthians:4:14 @ knowing that He who raised up the Lord Jesus will also raise us up with Jesus, and will present us with you.

nkjv@2Corinthians:4:15 @ For all things are for your sakes, that grace, having spread through the many, may cause thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God.

nkjv@2Corinthians:5:11 @ Knowing, therefore, the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are well known to God, and I also trust are well known in your consciences.

nkjv@2Corinthians:5:12 @ For we do not commend ourselves again to you, but give you opportunity to boast on our behalf, that you may have an answer for those who boast in appearance and not in heart.

nkjv@2Corinthians:5:13 @ For if we are beside ourselves, it is for God; or if we are of sound mind, it is for you.

nkjv@2Corinthians:5:20 @ Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ's behalf, be reconciled to God.

nkjv@2Corinthians:6:1 @ We then, as workers together with Him also plead with you not to receive the grace of God in vain.

nkjv@2Corinthians:6:2 @ For He says: "In an acceptable time I have heard you, And in the day of salvation I have helped you." Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.

nkjv@2Corinthians:6:11 @ O Corinthians! We have spoken openly to you, our heart is wide open.

nkjv@2Corinthians:6:12 @ You are not restricted by us, but you are restricted by your own affections.

nkjv@2Corinthians:6:13 @ Now in return for the same (I speak as to children), you also be open.

nkjv@2Corinthians:6:16 @ And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: "I will dwell in them And walk among them. I will be their God, And they shall be My people."

nkjv@2Corinthians:6:17 @ Therefore "Come out from among them And be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, And I will receive you."

nkjv@2Corinthians:6:18 @ "I will be a Father to you, And you shall be My sons and daughters, Says the LORD Almighty."

nkjv@2Corinthians:7:2 @ Open your hearts to us. We have wronged no one, we have corrupted no one, we have cheated no one.

nkjv@2Corinthians:7:3 @ I do not say this to condemn; for I have said before that you are in our hearts, to die together and to live together.

nkjv@2Corinthians:7:4 @ Great is my boldness of speech toward you, great is my boasting on your behalf. I am filled with comfort. I am exceedingly joyful in all our tribulation.

nkjv@2Corinthians:7:7 @ and not only by his coming, but also by the consolation with which he was comforted in you, when he told us of your earnest desire, your mourning, your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced even more.

nkjv@2Corinthians:7:8 @ For even if I made you sorry with my letter, I do not regret it; though I did regret it. For I perceive that the same epistle made you sorry, though only for a while.

nkjv@2Corinthians:7:9 @ Now I rejoice, not that you were made sorry, but that your sorrow led to repentance. For you were made sorry in a godly manner, that you might suffer loss from us in nothing.

nkjv@2Corinthians:7:11 @ For observe this very thing, that you sorrowed in a godly manner: What diligence it produced in you, what clearing of yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what vehement desire, what zeal, what vindication! In all things you proved yourselves to be clear in this matter.

nkjv@2Corinthians:7:12 @ Therefore, although I wrote to you, I did not do it for the sake of him who had done the wrong, nor for the sake of him who suffered wrong, but that our care for you in the sight of God might appear to you.

nkjv@2Corinthians:7:13 @ Therefore we have been comforted in your comfort. And we rejoiced exceedingly more for the joy of Titus, because his spirit has been refreshed by you all.

nkjv@2Corinthians:7:14 @ For if in anything I have boasted to him about you, I am not ashamed. But as we spoke all things to you in truth, even so our boasting to Titus was found true.

nkjv@2Corinthians:7:15 @ And his affections are greater for you as he remembers the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling you received him.

nkjv@2Corinthians:7:16 @ Therefore I rejoice that I have confidence in you in everything.

nkjv@2Corinthians:8:1 @ Moreover, brethren, we make known to you the grace of God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia:

nkjv@2Corinthians:8:6 @ So we urged Titus, that as he had begun, so he would also complete this grace in you as well.

nkjv@2Corinthians:8:7 @ But as you abound in everything--in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in all diligence, and in your love for us--see that you abound in this grace also.

nkjv@2Corinthians:8:8 @ I speak not by commandment, but I am testing the sincerity of your love by the diligence of others.

nkjv@2Corinthians:8:9 @ For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich.

nkjv@2Corinthians:8:10 @ And in this I give advice: It is to your advantage not only to be doing what you began and were desiring to do a year ago;

nkjv@2Corinthians:8:11 @ but now you also must complete the doing of it; that as there was a readiness to desire it, so there also may be a completion out of what you have.

nkjv@2Corinthians:8:13 @ For I do not mean that others should be eased and you burdened;

nkjv@2Corinthians:8:14 @ but by an equality, that now at this time your abundance may supply their lack, that their abundance also may supply your lack--that there may be equality.

nkjv@2Corinthians:8:16 @ But thanks be to God who puts the same earnest care for you into the heart of Titus.

nkjv@2Corinthians:8:17 @ For he not only accepted the exhortation, but being more diligent, he went to you of his own accord.

nkjv@2Corinthians:8:19 @ and not only that, but who was also chosen by the churches to travel with us with this gift, which is administered by us to the glory of the Lord Himself and to show your ready mind,

nkjv@2Corinthians:8:22 @ And we have sent with them our brother whom we have often proved diligent in many things, but now much more diligent, because of the great confidence which we have in you.

nkjv@2Corinthians:8:23 @ If anyone inquires about Titus, he is my partner and fellow worker concerning you. Or if our brethren are inquired about, they are messengers of the churches, the glory of Christ.

nkjv@2Corinthians:8:24 @ Therefore show to them, and before the churches, the proof of your love and of our boasting on your behalf.

nkjv@2Corinthians:9:1 @ Now concerning the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you;

nkjv@2Corinthians:9:2 @ for I know your willingness, about which I boast of you to the Macedonians, that Achaia was ready a year ago; and your zeal has stirred up the majority.

nkjv@2Corinthians:9:3 @ Yet I have sent the brethren, lest our boasting of you should be in vain in this respect, that, as I said, you may be ready;

nkjv@2Corinthians:9:4 @ lest if some Macedonians come with me and find you unprepared, we (not to mention you!) should be ashamed of this confident boasting.

nkjv@2Corinthians:9:5 @ Therefore I thought it necessary to exhort the brethren to go to you ahead of time, and prepare your generous gift beforehand, which you had previously promised, that it may be ready as a matter of generosity and not as a grudging obligation.

nkjv@2Corinthians:9:8 @ And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.

nkjv@2Corinthians:9:10 @ Now may He who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply the seed you have sown and increase the fruits of your righteousness,

nkjv@2Corinthians:9:11 @ while you are enriched in everything for all liberality, which causes thanksgiving through us to God.

nkjv@2Corinthians:9:13 @ while, through the proof of this ministry, they glorify God for the obedience of your confession to the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal sharing with them and all men,

nkjv@2Corinthians:9:14 @ and by their prayer for you, who long for you because of the exceeding grace of God in you.

nkjv@2Corinthians:10:1 @ Now I, Paul, myself am pleading with you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ--who in presence am lowly among you, but being absent am bold toward you.

nkjv@2Corinthians:10:2 @ But I beg you that when I am present I may not be bold with that confidence by which I intend to be bold against some, who think of us as if we walked according to the flesh.

nkjv@2Corinthians:10:6 @ and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.

nkjv@2Corinthians:10:7 @ Do you look at things according to the outward appearance? If anyone is convinced in himself that he is Christ's, let him again consider this in himself, that just as he is Christ's, even so we are Christ's.

nkjv@2Corinthians:10:8 @ For even if I should boast somewhat more about our authority, which the Lord gave us for edification and not for your destruction, I shall not be ashamed--

nkjv@2Corinthians:10:9 @ lest I seem to terrify you by letters.

nkjv@2Corinthians:10:13 @ We, however, will not boast beyond measure, but within the limits of the sphere which God appointed us--a sphere which especially includes you.

nkjv@2Corinthians:10:14 @ For we are not overextending ourselves (as though our authority did not extend to you), for it was to you that we came with the gospel of Christ;

nkjv@2Corinthians:10:15 @ not boasting of things beyond measure, that is, in other men's labors, but having hope, that as your faith is increased, we shall be greatly enlarged by you in our sphere,

nkjv@2Corinthians:10:16 @ to preach the gospel in the regions beyond you, and not to boast in another man's sphere of accomplishment.

nkjv@2Corinthians:11:1 @ Oh, that you would bear with me in a little folly--and indeed you do bear with me.

nkjv@2Corinthians:11:2 @ For I am jealous for you with godly jealousy. For I have betrothed you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.

nkjv@2Corinthians:11:3 @ But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

nkjv@2Corinthians:11:4 @ For if he who comes preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or if you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted--you may well put up with it!

nkjv@2Corinthians:11:6 @ Even though I am untrained in speech, yet I am not in knowledge. But we have been thoroughly manifested among you in all things.

nkjv@2Corinthians:11:7 @ Did I commit sin in humbling myself that you might be exalted, because I preached the gospel of God to you free of charge?

nkjv@2Corinthians:11:8 @ I robbed other churches, taking wages from them to minister to you.

nkjv@2Corinthians:11:9 @ And when I was present with you, and in need, I was a burden to no one, for what I lacked the brethren who came from Macedonia supplied. And in everything I kept myself from being burdensome to you, and so I will keep myself.

nkjv@2Corinthians:11:11 @ Why? Because I do not love you? God knows!

nkjv@2Corinthians:11:19 @ For you put up with fools gladly, since you yourselves are wise!

nkjv@2Corinthians:11:20 @ For you put up with it if one brings you into bondage, if one devours you, if one takes from you, if one exalts himself, if one strikes you on the face.

nkjv@2Corinthians:12:9 @ And He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness." Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

nkjv@2Corinthians:12:11 @ I have become a fool in boasting; you have compelled me. For I ought to have been commended by you; for in nothing was I behind the most eminent apostles, though I am nothing.

nkjv@2Corinthians:12:12 @ Truly the signs of an apostle were accomplished among you with all perseverance, in signs and wonders and mighty deeds.

nkjv@2Corinthians:12:13 @ For what is it in which you were inferior to other churches, except that I myself was not burdensome to you? Forgive me this wrong!

nkjv@2Corinthians:12:14 @ Now for the third time I am ready to come to you. And I will not be burdensome to you; for I do not seek yours, but you. For the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.

nkjv@2Corinthians:12:15 @ And I will very gladly spend and be spent for your souls; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I am loved.

nkjv@2Corinthians:12:16 @ But be that as it may, I did not burden you. Nevertheless, being crafty, I caught you by cunning!

nkjv@2Corinthians:12:17 @ Did I take advantage of you by any of those whom I sent to you?

nkjv@2Corinthians:12:18 @ I urged Titus, and sent our brother with him. Did Titus take advantage of you? Did we not walk in the same spirit? Did we not walk in the same steps?

nkjv@2Corinthians:12:19 @ Again, do you think that we excuse ourselves to you? We speak before God in Christ. But we do all things, beloved, for your edification.

nkjv@2Corinthians:12:20 @ For I fear lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I wish, and that I shall be found by you such as you do not wish; lest there be contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, backbitings, whisperings, conceits, tumults;

nkjv@2Corinthians:12:21 @ lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and I shall mourn for many who have sinned before and have not repented of the uncleanness, fornication, and lewdness which they have practiced.

nkjv@2Corinthians:13:1 @ This will be the third time I am coming to you. "By the mouth of two or three witnesses every word shall be established."

nkjv@2Corinthians:13:2 @ I have told you before, and foretell as if I were present the second time, and now being absent I write to those who have sinned before, and to all the rest, that if I come again I will not spare--

nkjv@2Corinthians:13:3 @ since you seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, who is not weak toward you, but mighty in you.

nkjv@2Corinthians:13:4 @ For though He was crucified in weakness, yet He lives by the power of God. For we also are weak in Him, but we shall live with Him by the power of God toward you.

nkjv@2Corinthians:13:5 @ Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?--unless indeed you are disqualified.

nkjv@2Corinthians:13:6 @ But I trust that you will know that we are not disqualified.

nkjv@2Corinthians:13:7 @ Now I pray to God that you do no evil, not that we should appear approved, but that you should do what is honorable, though we may seem disqualified.

nkjv@2Corinthians:13:9 @ For we are glad when we are weak and you are strong. And this also we pray, that you may be made complete.

nkjv@2Corinthians:13:11 @ Finally, brethren, farewell. Become complete. Be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you.

nkjv@2Corinthians:13:13 @ All the saints greet you.

nkjv@2Corinthians:13:14 @ The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.

nkjv@Galatians:1:3 @ Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ,

nkjv@Galatians:1:6 @ I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel,

nkjv@Galatians:1:7 @ which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ.

nkjv@Galatians:1:8 @ But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed.

nkjv@Galatians:1:9 @ As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed.

nkjv@Galatians:1:11 @ But I make known to you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man.

nkjv@Galatians:1:13 @ For you have heard of my former conduct in Judaism, how I persecuted the church of God beyond measure and tried to destroy it.

nkjv@Galatians:1:20 @ (Now concerning the things which I write to you, indeed, before God, I do not lie.)

nkjv@Galatians:2:5 @ to whom we did not yield submission even for an hour, that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.

nkjv@Galatians:2:14 @ But when I saw that they were not straightforward about the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter before them all, "If you, being a Jew, live in the manner of Gentiles and not as the Jews, why do you compel Gentiles to live as Jews?

nkjv@Galatians:3:1 @ O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you that you should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed among you as crucified?

nkjv@Galatians:3:2 @ This only I want to learn from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

nkjv@Galatians:3:3 @ Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now being made perfect by the flesh?

nkjv@Galatians:3:4 @ Have you suffered so many things in vain--if indeed it was in vain?

nkjv@Galatians:3:5 @ Therefore He who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you, does He do it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?--

nkjv@Galatians:3:8 @ And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel to Abraham beforehand, saying, "In you all the nations shall be blessed."

nkjv@Galatians:3:16 @ Now to Abraham and his Seed were the promises made. He does not say, "And to seeds," as of many, but as of one, "And to your Seed," who is Christ.

nkjv@Galatians:3:26 @ For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.

nkjv@Galatians:3:27 @ For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

nkjv@Galatians:3:28 @ There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

nkjv@Galatians:3:29 @ And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

nkjv@Galatians:4:6 @ And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, "Abba, Father!"

nkjv@Galatians:4:7 @ Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.

nkjv@Galatians:4:8 @ But then, indeed, when you did not know God, you served those which by nature are not gods.

nkjv@Galatians:4:9 @ But now after you have known God, or rather are known by God, how is it that you turn again to the weak and beggarly elements, to which you desire again to be in bondage?

nkjv@Galatians:4:10 @ You observe days and months and seasons and years.

nkjv@Galatians:4:11 @ I am afraid for you, lest I have labored for you in vain.

nkjv@Galatians:4:12 @ Brethren, I urge you to become like me, for I became like you. You have not injured me at all.

nkjv@Galatians:4:13 @ You know that because of physical infirmity I preached the gospel to you at the first.

nkjv@Galatians:4:14 @ And my trial which was in my flesh you did not despise or reject, but you received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.

nkjv@Galatians:4:15 @ What then was the blessing you enjoyed? For I bear you witness that, if possible, you would have plucked out your own eyes and given them to me.

nkjv@Galatians:4:16 @ Have I therefore become your enemy because I tell you the truth?

nkjv@Galatians:4:17 @ They zealously court you, but for no good; yes, they want to exclude you, that you may be zealous for them.

nkjv@Galatians:4:18 @ But it is good to be zealous in a good thing always, and not only when I am present with you.

nkjv@Galatians:4:19 @ My little children, for whom I labor in birth again until Christ is formed in you,

nkjv@Galatians:4:20 @ I would like to be present with you now and to change my tone; for I have doubts about you.

nkjv@Galatians:4:21 @ Tell me, you who desire to be under the law, do you not hear the law?

nkjv@Galatians:4:27 @ For it is written: "Rejoice, O barren, You who do not bear! Break forth and shout, You who are not in labor! For the desolate has many more children Than she who has a husband."

nkjv@Galatians:5:2 @ Indeed I, Paul, say to you that if you become circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing.

nkjv@Galatians:5:4 @ You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace.

nkjv@Galatians:5:7 @ You ran well. Who hindered you from obeying the truth?

nkjv@Galatians:5:8 @ This persuasion does not come from Him who calls you.

nkjv@Galatians:5:10 @ I have confidence in you, in the Lord, that you will have no other mind; but he who troubles you shall bear his judgment, whoever he is.

nkjv@Galatians:5:12 @ I could wish that those who trouble you would even cut themselves off!

nkjv@Galatians:5:13 @ For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.

nkjv@Galatians:5:14 @ For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."

nkjv@Galatians:5:15 @ But if you bite and devour one another, beware lest you be consumed by one another!

nkjv@Galatians:5:16 @ I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.

nkjv@Galatians:5:17 @ For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish.

nkjv@Galatians:5:18 @ But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

nkjv@Galatians:5:21 @ envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

nkjv@Galatians:6:1 @ Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted.

nkjv@Galatians:6:11 @ See with what large letters I have written to you with my own hand!

nkjv@Galatians:6:12 @ As many as desire to make a good showing in the flesh, these would compel you to be circumcised, only that they may not suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.

nkjv@Galatians:6:13 @ For not even those who are circumcised keep the law, but they desire to have you circumcised that they may boast in your flesh.

nkjv@Galatians:6:18 @ Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.

nkjv@Ephesians:1:2 @ Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

nkjv@Ephesians:1:13 @ In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,

nkjv@Ephesians:1:15 @ Therefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints,

nkjv@Ephesians:1:16 @ do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers:

nkjv@Ephesians:1:17 @ that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him,

nkjv@Ephesians:1:18 @ the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,

nkjv@Ephesians:2:1 @ And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins,

nkjv@Ephesians:2:2 @ in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience,

nkjv@Ephesians:2:5 @ even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),

nkjv@Ephesians:2:8 @ For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,

nkjv@Ephesians:2:11 @ Therefore remember that you, once Gentiles in the flesh--who are called Uncircumcision by what is called the Circumcision made in the flesh by hands--

nkjv@Ephesians:2:12 @ that at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world.

nkjv@Ephesians:2:13 @ But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.

nkjv@Ephesians:2:17 @ And He came and preached peace to you who were afar off and to those who were near.

nkjv@Ephesians:2:19 @ Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God,

nkjv@Ephesians:2:22 @ in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.

nkjv@Ephesians:3:1 @ For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you Gentiles--

nkjv@Ephesians:3:2 @ if indeed you have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which was given to me for you,

nkjv@Ephesians:3:4 @ by which, when you read, you may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ),

nkjv@Ephesians:3:13 @ Therefore I ask that you do not lose heart at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.

nkjv@Ephesians:3:16 @ that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man,

nkjv@Ephesians:3:17 @ that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love,

nkjv@Ephesians:3:19 @ to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

nkjv@Ephesians:4:1 @ I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called,

nkjv@Ephesians:4:4 @ There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling;

nkjv@Ephesians:4:6 @ one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

nkjv@Ephesians:4:17 @ This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind,

nkjv@Ephesians:4:20 @ But you have not so learned Christ,

nkjv@Ephesians:4:21 @ if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus:

nkjv@Ephesians:4:22 @ that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts,

nkjv@Ephesians:4:23 @ and be renewed in the spirit of your mind,

nkjv@Ephesians:4:24 @ and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.

nkjv@Ephesians:4:25 @ Therefore, putting away lying, "Let each one of you speak truth with his neighbor," for we are members of one another.

nkjv@Ephesians:4:26 @ "Be angry, and do not sin": do not let the sun go down on your wrath,

nkjv@Ephesians:4:29 @ Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers.

nkjv@Ephesians:4:30 @ And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.

nkjv@Ephesians:4:31 @ Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice.

nkjv@Ephesians:4:32 @ And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.

nkjv@Ephesians:5:3 @ But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints;

nkjv@Ephesians:5:5 @ For this you know, that no fornicator, unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.

nkjv@Ephesians:5:6 @ Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.

nkjv@Ephesians:5:8 @ For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light

nkjv@Ephesians:5:14 @ Therefore He says: "Awake, you who sleep, Arise from the dead, And Christ will give you light."

nkjv@Ephesians:5:15 @ See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise,

nkjv@Ephesians:5:19 @ speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord,

nkjv@Ephesians:5:22 @ Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord.

nkjv@Ephesians:5:25 @ Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her,

nkjv@Ephesians:5:33 @ Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.

nkjv@Ephesians:6:1 @ Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.

nkjv@Ephesians:6:2 @ "Honor your father and mother," which is the first commandment with promise:

nkjv@Ephesians:6:3 @ "that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth."

nkjv@Ephesians:6:4 @ And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord.

nkjv@Ephesians:6:5 @ Bondservants, be obedient to those who are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in sincerity of heart, as to Christ;

nkjv@Ephesians:6:9 @ And you, masters, do the same things to them, giving up threatening, knowing that your own Master also is in heaven, and there is no partiality with Him.

nkjv@Ephesians:6:11 @ Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

nkjv@Ephesians:6:13 @ Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

nkjv@Ephesians:6:14 @ Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness,

nkjv@Ephesians:6:15 @ and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

nkjv@Ephesians:6:16 @ above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.

nkjv@Ephesians:6:21 @ But that you also may know my affairs and how I am doing, Tychicus, a beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, will make all things known to you;

nkjv@Ephesians:6:22 @ whom I have sent to you for this very purpose, that you may know our affairs, and that he may comfort your hearts.

nkjv@Philippians:1:2 @ Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

nkjv@Philippians:1:3 @ I thank my God upon every remembrance of you,

nkjv@Philippians:1:4 @ always in every prayer of mine making request for you all with joy,

nkjv@Philippians:1:5 @ for your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now,

nkjv@Philippians:1:6 @ being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ;

nkjv@Philippians:1:7 @ just as it is right for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart, inasmuch as both in my chains and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers with me of grace.

nkjv@Philippians:1:8 @ For God is my witness, how greatly I long for you all with the affection of Jesus Christ.

nkjv@Philippians:1:9 @ And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment,

nkjv@Philippians:1:10 @ that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ,

nkjv@Philippians:1:12 @ But I want you to know, brethren, that the things which happened to me have actually turned out for the furtherance of the gospel,

nkjv@Philippians:1:19 @ For I know that this will turn out for my deliverance through your prayer and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

nkjv@Philippians:1:24 @ Nevertheless to remain in the flesh is more needful for you.

nkjv@Philippians:1:25 @ And being confident of this, I know that I shall remain and continue with you all for your progress and joy of faith,

nkjv@Philippians:1:26 @ that your rejoicing for me may be more abundant in Jesus Christ by my coming to you again.

nkjv@Philippians:1:27 @ Only let your conduct be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel,

nkjv@Philippians:1:28 @ and not in any way terrified by your adversaries, which is to them a proof of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that from God.

nkjv@Philippians:1:29 @ For to you it has been granted on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for His sake,

nkjv@Philippians:1:30 @ having the same conflict which you saw in me and now hear is in me.

nkjv@Philippians:2:4 @ Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.

nkjv@Philippians:2:5 @ Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus,

nkjv@Philippians:2:12 @ Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling;

nkjv@Philippians:2:13 @ for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.

nkjv@Philippians:2:15 @ that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world,

nkjv@Philippians:2:17 @ Yes, and if I am being poured out as a drink offering on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all.

nkjv@Philippians:2:18 @ For the same reason you also be glad and rejoice with me.

nkjv@Philippians:2:19 @ But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you shortly, that I also may be encouraged when I know your state.

nkjv@Philippians:2:20 @ For I have no one like-minded, who will sincerely care for your state.

nkjv@Philippians:2:22 @ But you know his proven character, that as a son with his father he served with me in the gospel.

nkjv@Philippians:2:25 @ Yet I considered it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow worker, and fellow soldier, but your messenger and the one who ministered to my need;

nkjv@Philippians:2:26 @ since he was longing for you all, and was distressed because you had heard that he was sick.

nkjv@Philippians:2:28 @ Therefore I sent him the more eagerly, that when you see him again you may rejoice, and I may be less sorrowful.

nkjv@Philippians:2:30 @ because for the work of Christ he came close to death, not regarding his life, to supply what was lacking in your service toward me.

nkjv@Philippians:3:1 @ Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. For me to write the same things to you is not tedious, but for you it is safe.

nkjv@Philippians:3:15 @ Therefore let us, as many as are mature, have this mind; and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal even this to you.

nkjv@Philippians:3:17 @ Brethren, join in following my example, and note those who so walk, as you have us for a pattern.

nkjv@Philippians:3:18 @ For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:

nkjv@Philippians:4:3 @ And I urge you also, true companion, help these women who labored with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the Book of Life.

nkjv@Philippians:4:5 @ Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.

nkjv@Philippians:4:6 @ Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;

nkjv@Philippians:4:7 @ and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

nkjv@Philippians:4:9 @ The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.

nkjv@Philippians:4:10 @ But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at last your1 care for me has flourished again; though you surely did care, but you lacked opportunity.

nkjv@Philippians:4:14 @ Nevertheless you have done well that you shared in my distress.

nkjv@Philippians:4:15 @ Now you Philippians know also that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church shared with me concerning giving and receiving but you only.

nkjv@Philippians:4:16 @ For even in Thessalonica you sent aid once and again for my necessities.

nkjv@Philippians:4:17 @ Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that abounds to your account.

nkjv@Philippians:4:18 @ Indeed I have all and abound. I am full, having received from Epaphroditus the things sent from you, a sweet-smelling aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, well pleasing to God.

nkjv@Philippians:4:19 @ And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

nkjv@Philippians:4:21 @ Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren who are with me greet you.

nkjv@Philippians:4:22 @ All the saints greet you, but especially those who are of Caesar's household.

nkjv@Philippians:4:23 @ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

nkjv@Colossians:1:2 @ To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ who are in Colosse: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

nkjv@Colossians:1:3 @ We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,

nkjv@Colossians:1:4 @ since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of your love for all the saints;

nkjv@Colossians:1:5 @ because of the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, of which you heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel,

nkjv@Colossians:1:6 @ which has come to you, as it has also in all the world, and is bringing forth fruit, as it is also among you since the day you heard and knew the grace of God in truth;

nkjv@Colossians:1:7 @ as you also learned from Epaphras, our dear fellow servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ on your behalf,

nkjv@Colossians:1:8 @ who also declared to us your love in the Spirit.

nkjv@Colossians:1:9 @ For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;

nkjv@Colossians:1:10 @ that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God;

nkjv@Colossians:1:21 @ And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled

nkjv@Colossians:1:22 @ in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight--

nkjv@Colossians:1:23 @ if indeed you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and are not moved away from the hope of the gospel which you heard, which was preached to every creature under heaven, of which I, Paul, became a minister.

nkjv@Colossians:1:24 @ I now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up in my flesh what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ, for the sake of His body, which is the church,

nkjv@Colossians:1:25 @ of which I became a minister according to the stewardship from God which was given to me for you, to fulfill the word of God,

nkjv@Colossians:1:27 @ To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

nkjv@Colossians:2:1 @ For I want you to know what a great conflict I have for you and those in Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh,

nkjv@Colossians:2:4 @ Now this I say lest anyone should deceive you with persuasive words.

nkjv@Colossians:2:5 @ For though I am absent in the flesh, yet I am with you in spirit, rejoicing to see your good order and the steadfastness of your faith in Christ.

nkjv@Colossians:2:6 @ As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him,

nkjv@Colossians:2:7 @ rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.

nkjv@Colossians:2:8 @ Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ.

nkjv@Colossians:2:10 @ and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.

nkjv@Colossians:2:11 @ In Him you were also circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the sins of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ,

nkjv@Colossians:2:12 @ buried with Him in baptism, in which you also were raised with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead.

nkjv@Colossians:2:13 @ And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses,

nkjv@Colossians:2:16 @ So let no one judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a festival or a new moon or sabbaths,

nkjv@Colossians:2:18 @ Let no one cheat you of your reward, taking delight in false humility and worship of angels, intruding into those things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,

nkjv@Colossians:2:20 @ Therefore, if you died with Christ from the basic principles of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to regulations--

nkjv@Colossians:3:1 @ If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God.

nkjv@Colossians:3:2 @ Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.

nkjv@Colossians:3:3 @ For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

nkjv@Colossians:3:4 @ When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.

nkjv@Colossians:3:5 @ Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.

nkjv@Colossians:3:7 @ in which you yourselves once walked when you lived in them.

nkjv@Colossians:3:8 @ But now you yourselves are to put off all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of your mouth.

nkjv@Colossians:3:9 @ Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds,

nkjv@Colossians:3:13 @ bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do.

nkjv@Colossians:3:15 @ And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful.

nkjv@Colossians:3:16 @ Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

nkjv@Colossians:3:17 @ And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

nkjv@Colossians:3:18 @ Wives, submit to your own husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.

nkjv@Colossians:3:19 @ Husbands, love your wives and do not be bitter toward them.

nkjv@Colossians:3:20 @ Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well pleasing to the Lord.

nkjv@Colossians:3:21 @ Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged.

nkjv@Colossians:3:22 @ Bondservants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh, not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but in sincerity of heart, fearing God.

nkjv@Colossians:3:23 @ And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men,

nkjv@Colossians:3:24 @ knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.

nkjv@Colossians:4:1 @ Masters, give your bondservants what is just and fair, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.

nkjv@Colossians:4:6 @ Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.

nkjv@Colossians:4:7 @ Tychicus, a beloved brother, faithful minister, and fellow servant in the Lord, will tell you all the news about me.

nkjv@Colossians:4:8 @ I am sending him to you for this very purpose, that he may know your circumstances and comfort your hearts,

nkjv@Colossians:4:9 @ with Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They will make known to you all things which are happening here.

nkjv@Colossians:4:10 @ Aristarchus my fellow prisoner greets you, with Mark the cousin of Barnabas (about whom you received instructions: if he comes to you, welcome him),

nkjv@Colossians:4:12 @ Epaphras, who is one of you, a bondservant of Christ, greets you, always laboring fervently for you in prayers, that you may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.

nkjv@Colossians:4:13 @ For I bear him witness that he has a great zeal for you, and those who are in Laodicea, and those in Hierapolis.

nkjv@Colossians:4:14 @ Luke the beloved physician and Demas greet you.

nkjv@Colossians:4:16 @ Now when this epistle is read among you, see that it is read also in the church of the Laodiceans, and that you likewise read the epistle from Laodicea.

nkjv@Colossians:4:17 @ And say to Archippus, "Take heed to the ministry which you have received in the Lord, that you may fulfill it."

nkjv@Colossians:4:18 @ This salutation by my own hand--Paul. Remember my chains. Grace be with you. Amen.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:1:1 @ Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, To the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:1:2 @ We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers,

nkjv@1Thessalonians:1:3 @ remembering without ceasing your work of faith, labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the sight of our God and Father,

nkjv@1Thessalonians:1:4 @ knowing, beloved brethren, your election by God.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:1:5 @ For our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit and in much assurance, as you know what kind of men we were among you for your sake.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:1:6 @ And you became followers of us and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit,

nkjv@1Thessalonians:1:7 @ so that you became examples to all in Macedonia and Achaia who believe.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:1:8 @ For from you the word of the Lord has sounded forth, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place. Your faith toward God has gone out, so that we do not need to say anything.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:1:9 @ For they themselves declare concerning us what manner of entry we had to you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God,

nkjv@1Thessalonians:2:1 @ For you yourselves know, brethren, that our coming to you was not in vain.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:2:2 @ But even after we had suffered before and were spitefully treated at Philippi, as you know, we were bold in our God to speak to you the gospel of God in much conflict.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:2:5 @ For neither at any time did we use flattering words, as you know, nor a cloak for covetousness--God is witness.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:2:6 @ Nor did we seek glory from men, either from you or from others, when we might have made demands as apostles of Christ.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:2:7 @ But we were gentle among you, just as a nursing mother cherishes her own children.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:2:8 @ So, affectionately longing for you, we were well pleased to impart to you not only the gospel of God, but also our own lives, because you had become dear to us.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:2:9 @ For you remember, brethren, our labor and toil; for laboring night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you, we preached to you the gospel of God.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:2:10 @ You are witnesses, and God also, how devoutly and justly and blamelessly we behaved ourselves among you who believe;

nkjv@1Thessalonians:2:11 @ as you know how we exhorted, and comforted, and charged every one of you, as a father does his own children,

nkjv@1Thessalonians:2:12 @ that you would walk worthy of God who calls you into His own kingdom and glory.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:2:13 @ For this reason we also thank God without ceasing, because when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you welcomed it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which also effectively works in you who believe.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:2:14 @ For you, brethren, became imitators of the churches of God which are in Judea in Christ Jesus. For you also suffered the same things from your own countrymen, just as they did from the Judeans,

nkjv@1Thessalonians:2:17 @ But we, brethren, having been taken away from you for a short time in presence, not in heart, endeavored more eagerly to see your face with great desire.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:2:18 @ Therefore we wanted to come to you--even I, Paul, time and again--but Satan hindered us.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:2:19 @ For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Is it not even you in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at His coming?

nkjv@1Thessalonians:2:20 @ For you are our glory and joy.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:3:2 @ and sent Timothy, our brother and minister of God, and our fellow laborer in the gospel of Christ, to establish you and encourage you concerning your faith,

nkjv@1Thessalonians:3:3 @ that no one should be shaken by these afflictions; for you yourselves know that we are appointed to this.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:3:4 @ For, in fact, we told you before when we were with you that we would suffer tribulation, just as it happened, and you know.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:3:5 @ For this reason, when I could no longer endure it, I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter had tempted you, and our labor might be in vain.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:3:6 @ But now that Timothy has come to us from you, and brought us good news of your faith and love, and that you always have good remembrance of us, greatly desiring to see us, as we also to see you--

nkjv@1Thessalonians:3:7 @ therefore, brethren, in all our affliction and distress we were comforted concerning you by your faith.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:3:8 @ For now we live, if you stand fast in the Lord.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:3:9 @ For what thanks can we render to God for you, for all the joy with which we rejoice for your sake before our God,

nkjv@1Thessalonians:3:10 @ night and day praying exceedingly that we may see your face and perfect what is lacking in your faith?

nkjv@1Thessalonians:3:11 @ Now may our God and Father Himself, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way to you.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:3:12 @ And may the Lord make you increase and abound in love to one another and to all, just as we do to you,

nkjv@1Thessalonians:3:13 @ so that He may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all His saints.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:4:1 @ Finally then, brethren, we urge and exhort in the Lord Jesus that you should abound more and more, just as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God;

nkjv@1Thessalonians:4:2 @ for you know what commandments we gave you through the Lord Jesus.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:4:3 @ For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you should abstain from sexual immorality;

nkjv@1Thessalonians:4:4 @ that each of you should know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor,

nkjv@1Thessalonians:4:6 @ that no one should take advantage of and defraud his brother in this matter, because the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also forewarned you and testified.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:4:9 @ But concerning brotherly love you have no need that I should write to you, for you yourselves are taught by God to love one another;

nkjv@1Thessalonians:4:10 @ and indeed you do so toward all the brethren who are in all Macedonia. But we urge you, brethren, that you increase more and more;

nkjv@1Thessalonians:4:11 @ that you also aspire to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you,

nkjv@1Thessalonians:4:12 @ that you may walk properly toward those who are outside, and that you may lack nothing.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:4:13 @ But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:4:15 @ For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:5:1 @ But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:5:2 @ For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:5:4 @ But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:5:5 @ You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:5:11 @ Therefore comfort each other and edify one another, just as you also are doing.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:5:12 @ And we urge you, brethren, to recognize those who labor among you, and are over you in the Lord and admonish you,

nkjv@1Thessalonians:5:13 @ and to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. Be at peace among yourselves.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:5:14 @ Now we exhort you, brethren, warn those who are unruly, comfort the fainthearted, uphold the weak, be patient with all.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:5:15 @ See that no one renders evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue what is good both for yourselves and for all.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:5:18 @ in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:5:23 @ Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:5:24 @ He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:5:27 @ I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read to all the holy brethren.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:5:28 @ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.

nkjv@2Thessalonians:1:2 @ Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

nkjv@2Thessalonians:1:3 @ We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is fitting, because your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of every one of you all abounds toward each other,

nkjv@2Thessalonians:1:4 @ so that we ourselves boast of you among the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that you endure,

nkjv@2Thessalonians:1:5 @ which is manifest evidence of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you also suffer;

nkjv@2Thessalonians:1:6 @ since it is a righteous thing with God to repay with tribulation those who trouble you,

nkjv@2Thessalonians:1:7 @ and to give you who are troubled rest with us when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels,

nkjv@2Thessalonians:1:10 @ when He comes, in that Day, to be glorified in His saints and to be admired among all those who believe, because our testimony among you was believed.

nkjv@2Thessalonians:1:11 @ Therefore we also pray always for you that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of His goodness and the work of faith with power,

nkjv@2Thessalonians:1:12 @ that the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and you in Him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

nkjv@2Thessalonians:2:1 @ Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you,

nkjv@2Thessalonians:2:3 @ Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition,

nkjv@2Thessalonians:2:5 @ Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things?

nkjv@2Thessalonians:2:6 @ And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time.

nkjv@2Thessalonians:2:13 @ But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God from the beginning chose you for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth,

nkjv@2Thessalonians:2:14 @ to which He called you by our gospel, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

nkjv@2Thessalonians:2:15 @ Therefore, brethren, stand fast and hold the traditions which you were taught, whether by word or our epistle.

nkjv@2Thessalonians:2:17 @ comfort your hearts and establish you in every good word and work.

nkjv@2Thessalonians:3:1 @ Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may run swiftly and be glorified, just as it is with you,

nkjv@2Thessalonians:3:3 @ But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one.

nkjv@2Thessalonians:3:4 @ And we have confidence in the Lord concerning you, both that you do and will do the things we command you.

nkjv@2Thessalonians:3:5 @ Now may the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God and into the patience of Christ.

nkjv@2Thessalonians:3:6 @ But we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw from every brother who walks disorderly and not according to the tradition which he received from us.

nkjv@2Thessalonians:3:7 @ For you yourselves know how you ought to follow us, for we were not disorderly among you;

nkjv@2Thessalonians:3:8 @ nor did we eat anyone's bread free of charge, but worked with labor and toil night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you,

nkjv@2Thessalonians:3:9 @ not because we do not have authority, but to make ourselves an example of how you should follow us.

nkjv@2Thessalonians:3:10 @ For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat.

nkjv@2Thessalonians:3:11 @ For we hear that there are some who walk among you in a disorderly manner, not working at all, but are busybodies.

nkjv@2Thessalonians:3:13 @ But as for you, brethren, do not grow weary in doing good.

nkjv@2Thessalonians:3:16 @ Now may the Lord of peace Himself give you peace always in every way. The Lord be with you all.

nkjv@2Thessalonians:3:18 @ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

nkjv@1Timothy:1:3 @ As I urged you when I went into Macedonia--remain in Ephesus that you may charge some that they teach no other doctrine,

nkjv@1Timothy:1:18 @ This charge I commit to you, son Timothy, according to the prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you may wage the good warfare,

nkjv@1Timothy:3:14 @ These things I write to you, though I hope to come to you shortly;

nkjv@1Timothy:3:15 @ but if I am delayed, I write so that you may know how you ought to conduct yourself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.

nkjv@1Timothy:4:6 @ If you instruct the brethren in these things, you will be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished in the words of faith and of the good doctrine which you have carefully followed.

nkjv@1Timothy:4:7 @ But reject profane and old wives' fables, and exercise yourself toward godliness.

nkjv@1Timothy:4:12 @ Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity.

nkjv@1Timothy:4:14 @ Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the eldership.

nkjv@1Timothy:4:15 @ Meditate on these things; give yourself entirely to them, that your progress may be evident to all.

nkjv@1Timothy:4:16 @ Take heed to yourself and to the doctrine. Continue in them, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you.

nkjv@1Timothy:5:1 @ Do not rebuke an older man, but exhort him as a father, younger men as brothers,

nkjv@1Timothy:5:2 @ older women as mothers, younger women as sisters, with all purity.

nkjv@1Timothy:5:11 @ But refuse the younger widows; for when they have begun to grow wanton against Christ, they desire to marry,

nkjv@1Timothy:5:14 @ Therefore I desire that the younger widows marry, bear children, manage the house, give no opportunity to the adversary to speak reproachfully.

nkjv@1Timothy:5:18 @ For the Scripture says, "You shall not muzzle an ox while it treads out the grain," and, "The laborer is worthy of his wages."

nkjv@1Timothy:5:21 @ I charge you before God and the Lord Jesus Christ and the elect angels that you observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing with partiality.

nkjv@1Timothy:5:22 @ Do not lay hands on anyone hastily, nor share in other people's sins; keep yourself pure.

nkjv@1Timothy:5:23 @ No longer drink only water, but use a little wine for your stomach's sake and your frequent infirmities.

nkjv@1Timothy:6:5 @ useless wranglings of men of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain. From such withdraw yourself.

nkjv@1Timothy:6:11 @ But you, O man of God, flee these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness.

nkjv@1Timothy:6:12 @ Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.

nkjv@1Timothy:6:13 @ I urge you in the sight of God who gives life to all things, and before Christ Jesus who witnessed the good confession before Pontius Pilate,

nkjv@1Timothy:6:14 @ that you keep this commandment without spot, blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ's appearing,

nkjv@1Timothy:6:20 @ O Timothy! Guard what was committed to your trust, avoiding the profane and idle babblings and contradictions of what is falsely called knowledge--

nkjv@1Timothy:6:21 @ by professing it some have strayed concerning the faith. Grace be with you. Amen.

nkjv@2Timothy:1:3 @ I thank God, whom I serve with a pure conscience, as my forefathers did, as without ceasing I remember you in my prayers night and day,

nkjv@2Timothy:1:4 @ greatly desiring to see you, being mindful of your tears, that I may be filled with joy,

nkjv@2Timothy:1:5 @ when I call to remembrance the genuine faith that is in you, which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and I am persuaded is in you also.

nkjv@2Timothy:1:6 @ Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands.

nkjv@2Timothy:1:13 @ Hold fast the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.

nkjv@2Timothy:1:14 @ That good thing which was committed to you, keep by the Holy Spirit who dwells in us.

nkjv@2Timothy:1:15 @ This you know, that all those in Asia have turned away from me, among whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.

nkjv@2Timothy:1:18 @ The Lord grant to him that he may find mercy from the Lord in that Day--and you know very well how many ways he ministered to me at Ephesus.

nkjv@2Timothy:2:1 @ You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

nkjv@2Timothy:2:2 @ And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.

nkjv@2Timothy:2:3 @ You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.

nkjv@2Timothy:2:7 @ Consider what I say, and may the Lord give you understanding in all things.

nkjv@2Timothy:2:15 @ Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

nkjv@2Timothy:2:22 @ Flee also youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

nkjv@2Timothy:3:10 @ But you have carefully followed my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, perseverance,

nkjv@2Timothy:3:14 @ But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them,

nkjv@2Timothy:3:15 @ and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

nkjv@2Timothy:4:1 @ I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom:

nkjv@2Timothy:4:5 @ But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.

nkjv@2Timothy:4:11 @ Only Luke is with me. Get Mark and bring him with you, for he is useful to me for ministry.

nkjv@2Timothy:4:13 @ Bring the cloak that I left with Carpus at Troas when you come--and the books, especially the parchments.

nkjv@2Timothy:4:15 @ You also must beware of him, for he has greatly resisted our words.

nkjv@2Timothy:4:21 @ Do your utmost to come before winter. Eubulus greets you, as well as Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the brethren.

nkjv@2Timothy:4:22 @ The Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.

nkjv@Titus:1:5 @ For this reason I left you in Crete, that you should set in order the things that are lacking, and appoint elders in every city as I commanded you--

nkjv@Titus:2:1 @ But as for you, speak the things which are proper for sound doctrine:

nkjv@Titus:2:4 @ that they admonish the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,

nkjv@Titus:2:6 @ Likewise, exhort the young men to be sober-minded,

nkjv@Titus:2:7 @ in all things showing yourself to be a pattern of good works; in doctrine showing integrity, reverence, incorruptibility,

nkjv@Titus:2:8 @ sound speech that cannot be condemned, that one who is an opponent may be ashamed, having nothing evil to say of you.

nkjv@Titus:2:15 @ Speak these things, exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no one despise you.

nkjv@Titus:3:8 @ This is a faithful saying, and these things I want you to affirm constantly, that those who have believed in God should be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men.

nkjv@Titus:3:12 @ When I send Artemas to you, or Tychicus, be diligent to come to me at Nicopolis, for I have decided to spend the winter there.

nkjv@Titus:3:15 @ All who are with me greet you. Greet those who love us in the faith. Grace be with you all. Amen.

nkjv@Philemon:1:2 @ to the beloved Apphia, Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the church in your house:

nkjv@Philemon:1:3 @ Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

nkjv@Philemon:1:4 @ I thank my God, making mention of you always in my prayers,

nkjv@Philemon:1:5 @ hearing of your love and faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus and toward all the saints,

nkjv@Philemon:1:6 @ that the sharing of your faith may become effective by the acknowledgment of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.

nkjv@Philemon:1:7 @ For we have great joy and consolation in your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed by you, brother.

nkjv@Philemon:1:8 @ Therefore, though I might be very bold in Christ to command you what is fitting,

nkjv@Philemon:1:9 @ yet for love's sake I rather appeal to you--being such a one as Paul, the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ--

nkjv@Philemon:1:10 @ I appeal to you for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten while in my chains,

nkjv@Philemon:1:11 @ who once was unprofitable to you, but now is profitable to you and to me.

nkjv@Philemon:1:12 @ I am sending him back. You therefore receive him, that is, my own heart,

nkjv@Philemon:1:13 @ whom I wished to keep with me, that on your behalf he might minister to me in my chains for the gospel.

nkjv@Philemon:1:14 @ But without your consent I wanted to do nothing, that your good deed might not be by compulsion, as it were, but voluntary.

nkjv@Philemon:1:15 @ For perhaps he departed for a while for this purpose, that you might receive him forever,

nkjv@Philemon:1:16 @ no longer as a slave but more than a slave--a beloved brother, especially to me but how much more to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.

nkjv@Philemon:1:17 @ If then you count me as a partner, receive him as you would me.

nkjv@Philemon:1:18 @ But if he has wronged you or owes anything, put that on my account.

nkjv@Philemon:1:19 @ I, Paul, am writing with my own hand. I will repay--not to mention to you that you owe me even your own self besides.

nkjv@Philemon:1:20 @ Yes, brother, let me have joy from you in the Lord; refresh my heart in the Lord.

nkjv@Philemon:1:21 @ Having confidence in your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even more than I say.

nkjv@Philemon:1:22 @ But, meanwhile, also prepare a guest room for me, for I trust that through your prayers I shall be granted to you.

nkjv@Philemon:1:23 @ Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, greets you,

nkjv@Philemon:1:25 @ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.

nkjv@Hebrews:1:5 @ For to which of the angels did He ever say: "You are My Son, Today I have begotten You"? And again: "I will be to Him a Father, And He shall be to Me a Son"?

nkjv@Hebrews:1:8 @ But to the Son He says: "Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom.

nkjv@Hebrews:1:9 @ You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You With the oil of gladness more than Your companions."

nkjv@Hebrews:1:10 @ And: "You, LORD, in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth, And the heavens are the work of Your hands.

nkjv@Hebrews:1:11 @ They will perish, but You remain; And they will all grow old like a garment;

nkjv@Hebrews:1:12 @ Like a cloak You will fold them up, And they will be changed. But You are the same, And Your years will not fail."

nkjv@Hebrews:1:13 @ But to which of the angels has He ever said: "Sit at My right hand, Till I make Your enemies Your footstool"?

nkjv@Hebrews:2:6 @ But one testified in a certain place, saying: "What is man that You are mindful of him, Or the son of man that You take care of him?

nkjv@Hebrews:2:7 @ You have made him a little lower than the angels; You have crowned him with glory and honor, And set him over the works of Your hands.

nkjv@Hebrews:2:8 @ You have put all things in subjection under his feet." For in that He put all in subjection under him, He left nothing that is not put under him. But now we do not yet see all things put under him.

nkjv@Hebrews:2:12 @ saying: "I will declare Your name to My brethren; In the midst of the assembly I will sing praise to You."

nkjv@Hebrews:3:7 @ Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says: "Today, if you will hear His voice,

nkjv@Hebrews:3:8 @ Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, In the day of trial in the wilderness,

nkjv@Hebrews:3:9 @ Where your fathers tested Me, tried Me, And saw My works forty years.

nkjv@Hebrews:3:12 @ Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God;

nkjv@Hebrews:3:13 @ but exhort one another daily, while it is called "Today," lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

nkjv@Hebrews:3:15 @ while it is said: "Today, if you will hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion."

nkjv@Hebrews:4:1 @ Therefore, since a promise remains of entering His rest, let us fear lest any of you seem to have come short of it.

nkjv@Hebrews:4:7 @ again He designates a certain day, saying in David, "Today," after such a long time, as it has been said: "Today, if you will hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts."

nkjv@Hebrews:5:5 @ So also Christ did not glorify Himself to become High Priest, but it was He who said to Him: "You are My Son, Today I have begotten You."

nkjv@Hebrews:5:6 @ As He also says in another place: "You are a priest forever According to the order of Melchizedek";

nkjv@Hebrews:5:11 @ of whom we have much to say, and hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing.

nkjv@Hebrews:5:12 @ For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God; and you have come to need milk and not solid food.

nkjv@Hebrews:6:9 @ But, beloved, we are confident of better things concerning you, yes, things that accompany salvation, though we speak in this manner.

nkjv@Hebrews:6:10 @ For God is not unjust to forget your work and labor of love which you have shown toward His name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister.

nkjv@Hebrews:6:11 @ And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope until the end,

nkjv@Hebrews:6:12 @ that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

nkjv@Hebrews:6:14 @ saying, "Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you."

nkjv@Hebrews:7:17 @ For He testifies: "You are a priest forever According to the order of Melchizedek."

nkjv@Hebrews:7:21 @ (for they have become priests without an oath, but He with an oath by Him who said to Him: "The LORD has sworn And will not relent, "You are a priest forever According to the order of Melchizedek"'),

nkjv@Hebrews:8:5 @ who serve the copy and shadow of the heavenly things, as Moses was divinely instructed when he was about to make the tabernacle. For He said, "See that you make all things according to the pattern shown you on the mountain."

nkjv@Hebrews:9:14 @ how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

nkjv@Hebrews:9:20 @ saying, "This is the blood of the covenant which God has commanded you."

nkjv@Hebrews:10:5 @ Therefore, when He came into the world, He said: "Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, But a body You have prepared for Me.

nkjv@Hebrews:10:6 @ In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin You had no pleasure.

nkjv@Hebrews:10:7 @ Then I said, "Behold, I have come-- In the volume of the book it is written of Me-- To do Your will, O God."'

nkjv@Hebrews:10:8 @ Previously saying, "Sacrifice and offering, burnt offerings, and offerings for sin You did not desire, nor had pleasure in them" (which are offered according to the law),

nkjv@Hebrews:10:9 @ then He said, "Behold, I have come to do Your will, O God." He takes away the first that He may establish the second.

nkjv@Hebrews:10:25 @ not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.

nkjv@Hebrews:10:29 @ Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, and insulted the Spirit of grace?

nkjv@Hebrews:10:32 @ But recall the former days in which, after you were illuminated, you endured a great struggle with sufferings:

nkjv@Hebrews:10:33 @ partly while you were made a spectacle both by reproaches and tribulations, and partly while you became companions of those who were so treated;

nkjv@Hebrews:10:34 @ for you had compassion on me in my chains, and joyfully accepted the plundering of your goods, knowing that you have a better and an enduring possession for yourselves in heaven.

nkjv@Hebrews:10:35 @ Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward.

nkjv@Hebrews:10:36 @ For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise:

nkjv@Hebrews:11:18 @ of whom it was said, "In Isaac your seed shall be called,"

nkjv@Hebrews:12:3 @ For consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, lest you become weary and discouraged in your souls.

nkjv@Hebrews:12:4 @ You have not yet resisted to bloodshed, striving against sin.

nkjv@Hebrews:12:5 @ And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons: "My son, do not despise the chastening of the LORD, Nor be discouraged when you are rebuked by Him;

nkjv@Hebrews:12:7 @ If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not chasten?

nkjv@Hebrews:12:8 @ But if you are without chastening, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate and not sons.

nkjv@Hebrews:12:13 @ and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed.

nkjv@Hebrews:12:17 @ For you know that afterward, when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for repentance, though he sought it diligently with tears.

nkjv@Hebrews:12:18 @ For you have not come to the mountain that may be touched and that burned with fire, and to blackness and darkness and tempest,

nkjv@Hebrews:12:22 @ But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels,

nkjv@Hebrews:12:25 @ See that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if they did not escape who refused Him who spoke on earth, much more shall we not escape if we turn away from Him who speaks from heaven,

nkjv@Hebrews:13:3 @ Remember the prisoners as if chained with them--those who are mistreated--since you yourselves are in the body also.

nkjv@Hebrews:13:5 @ Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you."

nkjv@Hebrews:13:7 @ Remember those who rule over you, who have spoken the word of God to you, whose faith follow, considering the outcome of their conduct.

nkjv@Hebrews:13:17 @ Obey those who rule over you, and be submissive, for they watch out for your souls, as those who must give account. Let them do so with joy and not with grief, for that would be unprofitable for you.

nkjv@Hebrews:13:19 @ But I especially urge you to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner.

nkjv@Hebrews:13:21 @ make you complete in every good work to do His will, working in you what is well pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.

nkjv@Hebrews:13:22 @ And I appeal to you, brethren, bear with the word of exhortation, for I have written to you in few words.

nkjv@Hebrews:13:23 @ Know that our brother Timothy has been set free, with whom I shall see you if he comes shortly.

nkjv@Hebrews:13:24 @ Greet all those who rule over you, and all the saints. Those from Italy greet you.

nkjv@Hebrews:13:25 @ Grace be with you all. Amen.

nkjv@James:1:2 @ My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials,

nkjv@James:1:3 @ knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.

nkjv@James:1:4 @ But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.

nkjv@James:1:5 @ If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

nkjv@James:1:21 @ Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.

nkjv@James:1:22 @ But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.

nkjv@James:1:26 @ If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one's religion is useless.

nkjv@James:2:2 @ For if there should come into your assembly a man with gold rings, in fine apparel, and there should also come in a poor man in filthy clothes,

nkjv@James:2:3 @ and you pay attention to the one wearing the fine clothes and say to him, "You sit here in a good place," and say to the poor man, "You stand there," or, "Sit here at my footstool,"

nkjv@James:2:4 @ have you not shown partiality among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?

nkjv@James:2:6 @ But you have dishonored the poor man. Do not the rich oppress you and drag you into the courts?

nkjv@James:2:7 @ Do they not blaspheme that noble name by which you are called?

nkjv@James:2:8 @ If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself," you do well;

nkjv@James:2:9 @ but if you show partiality, you commit sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors.

nkjv@James:2:11 @ For He who said, "Do not commit adultery," also said, "Do not murder." Now if you do not commit adultery, but you do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.

nkjv@James:2:16 @ and one of you says to them, "Depart in peace, be warmed and filled," but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit?

nkjv@James:2:18 @ But someone will say, "You have faith, and I have works." Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.

nkjv@James:2:19 @ You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe--and tremble!

nkjv@James:2:20 @ But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead?

nkjv@James:2:22 @ Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect?

nkjv@James:2:24 @ You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only.

nkjv@James:3:1 @ My brethren, let not many of you become teachers, knowing that we shall receive a stricter judgment.

nkjv@James:3:13 @ Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by good conduct that his works are done in the meekness of wisdom.

nkjv@James:3:14 @ But if you have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth.

nkjv@James:4:1 @ Where do wars and fights come from among you? Do they not come from your desires for pleasure that war in your members?

nkjv@James:4:2 @ You lust and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and war. Yet you do not have because you do not ask.

nkjv@James:4:3 @ You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures.

nkjv@James:4:4 @ Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

nkjv@James:4:5 @ Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, "The Spirit who dwells in us yearns jealously"?

nkjv@James:4:7 @ Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.

nkjv@James:4:8 @ Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

nkjv@James:4:9 @ Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom.

nkjv@James:4:10 @ Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.

nkjv@James:4:11 @ Do not speak evil of one another, brethren. He who speaks evil of a brother and judges his brother, speaks evil of the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge.

nkjv@James:4:12 @ There is one Lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy. Who are you to judge another?

nkjv@James:4:13 @ Come now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit";

nkjv@James:4:14 @ whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.

nkjv@James:4:15 @ Instead you ought to say, "If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that."

nkjv@James:4:16 @ But now you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil.

nkjv@James:5:1 @ Come now, you rich, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming upon you!

nkjv@James:5:2 @ Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are moth-eaten.

nkjv@James:5:3 @ Your gold and silver are corroded, and their corrosion will be a witness against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have heaped up treasure in the last days.

nkjv@James:5:4 @ Indeed the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, cry out; and the cries of the reapers have reached the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth.

nkjv@James:5:5 @ You have lived on the earth in pleasure and luxury; you have fattened your hearts as in a day of slaughter.

nkjv@James:5:6 @ You have condemned, you have murdered the just; he does not resist you.

nkjv@James:5:8 @ You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.

nkjv@James:5:9 @ Do not grumble against one another, brethren, lest you be condemned. Behold, the Judge is standing at the door!

nkjv@James:5:11 @ Indeed we count them blessed who endure. You have heard of the perseverance of Job and seen the end intended by the Lord--that the Lord is very compassionate and merciful.

nkjv@James:5:12 @ But above all, my brethren, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or with any other oath. But let your "Yes" be "Yes," and your "No," "No," lest you fall into judgment.

nkjv@James:5:13 @ Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing psalms.

nkjv@James:5:14 @ Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord.

nkjv@James:5:16 @ Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.

nkjv@James:5:19 @ Brethren, if anyone among you wanders from the truth, and someone turns him back,

nkjv@1Peter:1:2 @ elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, for obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace be multiplied.

nkjv@1Peter:1:4 @ to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you,

nkjv@1Peter:1:6 @ In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials,

nkjv@1Peter:1:7 @ that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ,

nkjv@1Peter:1:8 @ whom having not seen you love. Though now you do not see Him, yet believing, you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory,

nkjv@1Peter:1:9 @ receiving the end of your faith--the salvation of your souls.

nkjv@1Peter:1:10 @ Of this salvation the prophets have inquired and searched carefully, who prophesied of the grace that would come to you,

nkjv@1Peter:1:12 @ To them it was revealed that, not to themselves, but to us they were ministering the things which now have been reported to you through those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven--things which angels desire to look into.

nkjv@1Peter:1:13 @ Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;

nkjv@1Peter:1:14 @ as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts, as in your ignorance;

nkjv@1Peter:1:15 @ but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct,

nkjv@1Peter:1:17 @ And if you call on the Father, who without partiality judges according to each one's work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your stay here in fear;

nkjv@1Peter:1:18 @ knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers,

nkjv@1Peter:1:20 @ He indeed was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you

nkjv@1Peter:1:21 @ who through Him believe in God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.

nkjv@1Peter:1:22 @ Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit in sincere love of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart,

nkjv@1Peter:1:25 @ But the word of the LORD endures forever." Now this is the word which by the gospel was preached to you.

nkjv@1Peter:2:2 @ as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby,

nkjv@1Peter:2:3 @ if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious.

nkjv@1Peter:2:5 @ you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

nkjv@1Peter:2:7 @ Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious; but to those who are disobedient, "The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone,"

nkjv@1Peter:2:9 @ But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;

nkjv@1Peter:2:11 @ Beloved, I beg you as sojourners and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul,

nkjv@1Peter:2:12 @ having your conduct honorable among the Gentiles, that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may, by your good works which they observe, glorify God in the day of visitation.

nkjv@1Peter:2:13 @ Therefore submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake, whether to the king as supreme,

nkjv@1Peter:2:15 @ For this is the will of God, that by doing good you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men--

nkjv@1Peter:2:18 @ Servants, be submissive to your masters with all fear, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the harsh.

nkjv@1Peter:2:20 @ For what credit is it if, when you are beaten for your faults, you take it patiently? But when you do good and suffer, if you take it patiently, this is commendable before God.

nkjv@1Peter:2:21 @ For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps:

nkjv@1Peter:2:24 @ who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness--by whose stripes you were healed.

nkjv@1Peter:2:25 @ For you were like sheep going astray, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.

nkjv@1Peter:3:1 @ Wives, likewise, be submissive to your own husbands, that even if some do not obey the word, they, without a word, may be won by the conduct of their wives,

nkjv@1Peter:3:2 @ when they observe your chaste conduct accompanied by fear.

nkjv@1Peter:3:3 @ Do not let your adornment be merely outward--arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel--

nkjv@1Peter:3:6 @ as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, whose daughters you are if you do good and are not afraid with any terror.

nkjv@1Peter:3:7 @ Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered.

nkjv@1Peter:3:8 @ Finally, all of you be of one mind, having compassion for one another; love as brothers, be tenderhearted, be courteous;

nkjv@1Peter:3:9 @ not returning evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary blessing, knowing that you were called to this, that you may inherit a blessing.

nkjv@1Peter:3:13 @ And who is he who will harm you if you become followers of what is good?

nkjv@1Peter:3:14 @ But even if you should suffer for righteousness' sake, you are blessed. "And do not be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled."

nkjv@1Peter:3:15 @ But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear;

nkjv@1Peter:3:16 @ having a good conscience, that when they defame you as evildoers, those who revile your good conduct in Christ may be ashamed.

nkjv@1Peter:4:1 @ Therefore, since Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind, for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,

nkjv@1Peter:4:4 @ In regard to these, they think it strange that you do not run with them in the same flood of dissipation, speaking evil of you.

nkjv@1Peter:4:7 @ But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers.

nkjv@1Peter:4:12 @ Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you;

nkjv@1Peter:4:13 @ but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ's sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy.

nkjv@1Peter:4:14 @ If you are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed are you, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. On their part He is blasphemed, but on your part He is glorified.

nkjv@1Peter:4:15 @ But let none of you suffer as a murderer, a thief, an evildoer, or as a busybody in other people's matters.

nkjv@1Peter:5:1 @ The elders who are among you I exhort, I who am a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that will be revealed:

nkjv@1Peter:5:2 @ Shepherd the flock of God which is among you, serving as overseers, not by compulsion but willingly, not for dishonest gain but eagerly;

nkjv@1Peter:5:3 @ nor as being lords over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock;

nkjv@1Peter:5:4 @ and when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that does not fade away.

nkjv@1Peter:5:5 @ Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for "God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble."

nkjv@1Peter:5:6 @ Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time,

nkjv@1Peter:5:7 @ casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.

nkjv@1Peter:5:8 @ Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.

nkjv@1Peter:5:9 @ Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world.

nkjv@1Peter:5:10 @ But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.

nkjv@1Peter:5:12 @ By Silvanus, our faithful brother as I consider him, I have written to you briefly, exhorting and testifying that this is the true grace of God in which you stand.

nkjv@1Peter:5:13 @ She who is in Babylon, elect together with you, greets you; and so does Mark my son.

nkjv@1Peter:5:14 @ Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace to you all who are in Christ Jesus. Amen.

nkjv@2Peter:1:2 @ Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord,

nkjv@2Peter:1:4 @ by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

nkjv@2Peter:1:5 @ But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge,

nkjv@2Peter:1:8 @ For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

nkjv@2Peter:1:10 @ Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble;

nkjv@2Peter:1:11 @ for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

nkjv@2Peter:1:12 @ For this reason I will not be negligent to remind you always of these things, though you know and are established in the present truth.

nkjv@2Peter:1:13 @ Yes, I think it is right, as long as I am in this tent, to stir you up by reminding you,

nkjv@2Peter:1:15 @ Moreover I will be careful to ensure that you always have a reminder of these things after my decease.

nkjv@2Peter:1:16 @ For we did not follow cunningly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of His majesty.

nkjv@2Peter:1:19 @ And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts;

nkjv@2Peter:2:1 @ But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction.

nkjv@2Peter:2:3 @ By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words; for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction does not slumber.

nkjv@2Peter:2:13 @ and will receive the wages of unrighteousness, as those who count it pleasure to carouse in the daytime. They are spots and blemishes, carousing in their own deceptions while they feast with you,

nkjv@2Peter:3:1 @ Beloved, I now write to you this second epistle (in both of which I stir up your pure minds by way of reminder),

nkjv@2Peter:3:2 @ that you may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us, the apostles of the Lord and Savior,

nkjv@2Peter:3:11 @ Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness,

nkjv@2Peter:3:15 @ and consider that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation--as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, has written to you,

nkjv@2Peter:3:17 @ You therefore, beloved, since you know this beforehand, beware lest you also fall from your own steadfastness, being led away with the error of the wicked;

nkjv@1John:1:2 @ the life was manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and declare to you that eternal life which was with the Father and was manifested to us--

nkjv@1John:1:3 @ that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ.

nkjv@1John:1:4 @ And these things we write to you that your joy may be full.

nkjv@1John:1:5 @ This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all.

nkjv@1John:2:1 @ My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.

nkjv@1John:2:7 @ Brethren, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you have had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you heard from the beginning.

nkjv@1John:2:8 @ Again, a new commandment I write to you, which thing is true in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away, and the true light is already shining.

nkjv@1John:2:12 @ I write to you, little children, Because your sins are forgiven you for His name's sake.

nkjv@1John:2:13 @ I write to you, fathers, Because you have known Him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, Because you have overcome the wicked one. I write to you, little children, Because you have known the Father.

nkjv@1John:2:14 @ I have written to you, fathers, Because you have known Him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, Because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, And you have overcome the wicked one.

nkjv@1John:2:18 @ Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, by which we know that it is the last hour.

nkjv@1John:2:20 @ But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things.

nkjv@1John:2:21 @ I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and that no lie is of the truth.

nkjv@1John:2:24 @ Therefore let that abide in you which you heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, you also will abide in the Son and in the Father.

nkjv@1John:2:26 @ These things I have written to you concerning those who try to deceive you.

nkjv@1John:2:27 @ But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him.

nkjv@1John:2:29 @ If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone who practices righteousness is born of Him.

nkjv@1John:3:5 @ And you know that He was manifested to take away our sins, and in Him there is no sin.

nkjv@1John:3:7 @ Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous.

nkjv@1John:3:11 @ For this is the message that you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another,

nkjv@1John:3:13 @ Do not marvel, my brethren, if the world hates you.

nkjv@1John:3:15 @ Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.

nkjv@1John:4:2 @ By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God,

nkjv@1John:4:3 @ and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world.

nkjv@1John:4:4 @ You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

nkjv@1John:5:13 @ These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.

nkjv@1John:5:21 @ Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.

nkjv@2John:1:3 @ Grace, mercy, and peace will be with you from God the Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.

nkjv@2John:1:4 @ I rejoiced greatly that I have found some of your children walking in truth, as we received commandment from the Father.

nkjv@2John:1:5 @ And now I plead with you, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment to you, but that which we have had from the beginning: that we love one another.

nkjv@2John:1:6 @ This is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment, that as you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in it.

nkjv@2John:1:8 @ Look to yourselves, that we do not lose those things we worked for, but that we may receive a full reward.

nkjv@2John:1:10 @ If anyone comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into your house nor greet him;

nkjv@2John:1:12 @ Having many things to write to you, I did not wish to do so with paper and ink; but I hope to come to you and speak face to face, that our joy may be full.

nkjv@2John:1:13 @ The children of your elect sister greet you. Amen.

nkjv@3John:1:2 @ Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.

nkjv@3John:1:3 @ For I rejoiced greatly when brethren came and testified of the truth that is in you, just as you walk in the truth.

nkjv@3John:1:5 @ Beloved, you do faithfully whatever you do for the brethren and for strangers,

nkjv@3John:1:6 @ who have borne witness of your love before the church. If you send them forward on their journey in a manner worthy of God, you will do well,

nkjv@3John:1:12 @ Demetrius has a good testimony from all, and from the truth itself. And we also bear witness, and you know that our testimony is true.

nkjv@3John:1:13 @ I had many things to write, but I do not wish to write to you with pen and ink;

nkjv@3John:1:14 @ but I hope to see you shortly, and we shall speak face to face. Peace to you. Our friends greet you. Greet the friends by name.

nkjv@Jude:1:2 @ Mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you.

nkjv@Jude:1:3 @ Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you concerning our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints.

nkjv@Jude:1:5 @ But I want to remind you, though you once knew this, that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe.

nkjv@Jude:1:9 @ Yet Michael the archangel, in contending with the devil, when he disputed about the body of Moses, dared not bring against him a reviling accusation, but said, "The Lord rebuke you!"

nkjv@Jude:1:12 @ These are spots in your love feasts, while they feast with you without fear, serving only themselves. They are clouds without water, carried about by the winds; late autumn trees without fruit, twice dead, pulled up by the roots;

nkjv@Jude:1:17 @ But you, beloved, remember the words which were spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ:

nkjv@Jude:1:18 @ how they told you that there would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own ungodly lusts.

nkjv@Jude:1:20 @ But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,

nkjv@Jude:1:21 @ keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

nkjv@Jude:1:24 @ Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy,

nkjv@Revelation:1:4 @ John, to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace to you and peace from Him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven Spirits who are before His throne,

nkjv@Revelation:1:9 @ I, John, both your brother and companion in the tribulation and kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was on the island that is called Patmos for the word of God and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.

nkjv@Revelation:1:11 @ saying, "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last," and, "What you see, write in a book and send it to the seven churches which are in Asia: to Ephesus, to Smyrna, to Pergamos, to Thyatira, to Sardis, to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea."

nkjv@Revelation:1:19 @ Write the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will take place after this.

nkjv@Revelation:1:20 @ The mystery of the seven stars which you saw in My right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands which you saw are the seven churches.

nkjv@Revelation:2:2 @ "I know your works, your labor, your patience, and that you cannot bear those who are evil. And you have tested those who say they are apostles and are not, and have found them liars;

nkjv@Revelation:2:3 @ and you have persevered and have patience, and have labored for My name's sake and have not become weary.

nkjv@Revelation:2:4 @ Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love.

nkjv@Revelation:2:5 @ Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works, or else I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place--unless you repent.

nkjv@Revelation:2:6 @ But this you have, that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.

nkjv@Revelation:2:9 @ "I know your works, tribulation, and poverty (but you are rich); and I know the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.

nkjv@Revelation:2:10 @ Do not fear any of those things which you are about to suffer. Indeed, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and you will have tribulation ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.

nkjv@Revelation:2:13 @ "I know your works, and where you dwell, where Satan's throne is. And you hold fast to My name, and did not deny My faith even in the days in which Antipas was My faithful martyr, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells.

nkjv@Revelation:2:14 @ But I have a few things against you, because you have there those who hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit sexual immorality.

nkjv@Revelation:2:15 @ Thus you also have those who hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate.

nkjv@Revelation:2:16 @ Repent, or else I will come to you quickly and will fight against them with the sword of My mouth.

nkjv@Revelation:2:19 @ "I know your works, love, service, faith, and your patience; and as for your works, the last are more than the first.

nkjv@Revelation:2:20 @ Nevertheless I have a few things against you, because you allow that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and seduce My servants to commit sexual immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols.

nkjv@Revelation:2:23 @ I will kill her children with death, and all the churches shall know that I am He who searches the minds and hearts. And I will give to each one of you according to your works.

nkjv@Revelation:2:24 @ "Now to you I say, and to the rest in Thyatira, as many as do not have this doctrine, who have not known the depths of Satan, as they say, I will put on you no other burden.

nkjv@Revelation:2:25 @ But hold fast what you have till I come.

nkjv@Revelation:3:1 @ "And to the angel of the church in Sardis write, "These things says He who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars: "I know your works, that you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead.

nkjv@Revelation:3:2 @ Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die, for I have not found your works perfect before God.

nkjv@Revelation:3:3 @ Remember therefore how you have received and heard; hold fast and repent. Therefore if you will not watch, I will come upon you as a thief, and you will not know what hour I will come upon you.

nkjv@Revelation:3:4 @ You have a few names even in Sardis who have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with Me in white, for they are worthy.

nkjv@Revelation:3:8 @ "I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name.

nkjv@Revelation:3:9 @ Indeed I will make those of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews and are not, but lie--indeed I will make them come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you.

nkjv@Revelation:3:10 @ Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.

nkjv@Revelation:3:11 @ Behold, I am coming quickly! Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown.

nkjv@Revelation:3:15 @ "I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot.

nkjv@Revelation:3:16 @ So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.

nkjv@Revelation:3:17 @ Because you say, "I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing'--and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked--

nkjv@Revelation:3:18 @ I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see.

nkjv@Revelation:4:1 @ After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, "Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this."

nkjv@Revelation:4:11 @ "You are worthy, O Lord, To receive glory and honor and power; For You created all things, And by Your will they exist and were created."

nkjv@Revelation:5:9 @ And they sang a new song, saying: "You are worthy to take the scroll, And to open its seals; For You were slain, And have redeemed us to God by Your blood Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,

nkjv@Revelation:6:10 @ And they cried with a loud voice, saying, "How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?"

nkjv@Revelation:7:14 @ And I said to him, "Sir, you know." So he said to me, "These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

nkjv@Revelation:10:9 @ So I went to the angel and said to him, "Give me the little book." And he said to me, "Take and eat it; and it will make your stomach bitter, but it will be as sweet as honey in your mouth."

nkjv@Revelation:10:11 @ And he said to me, "You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, tongues, and kings."

nkjv@Revelation:11:17 @ saying: "We give You thanks, O Lord God Almighty, The One who is and who was and who is to come, Because You have taken Your great power and reigned.

nkjv@Revelation:11:18 @ The nations were angry, and Your wrath has come, And the time of the dead, that they should be judged, And that You should reward Your servants the prophets and the saints, And those who fear Your name, small and great, And should destroy those who destroy the earth."

nkjv@Revelation:12:12 @ Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time."

nkjv@Revelation:14:15 @ And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to Him who sat on the cloud, "Thrust in Your sickle and reap, for the time has come for You to reap, for the harvest of the earth is ripe."

nkjv@Revelation:14:18 @ And another angel came out from the altar, who had power over fire, and he cried with a loud cry to him who had the sharp sickle, saying, "Thrust in your sharp sickle and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, for her grapes are fully ripe."

nkjv@Revelation:15:3 @ They sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying: "Great and marvelous are Your works, Lord God Almighty! Just and true are Your ways, O King of the saints!

nkjv@Revelation:15:4 @ Who shall not fear You, O Lord, and glorify Your name? For You alone are holy. For all nations shall come and worship before You, For Your judgments have been manifested."

nkjv@Revelation:16:5 @ And I heard the angel of the waters saying: "You are righteous, O Lord, The One who is and who was and who is to be, Because You have judged these things.

nkjv@Revelation:16:6 @ For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, And You have given them blood to drink. For it is their just due."

nkjv@Revelation:16:7 @ And I heard another from the altar saying, "Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are Your judgments."

nkjv@Revelation:17:1 @ Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and talked with me, saying to me, "Come, I will show you the judgment of the great harlot who sits on many waters,

nkjv@Revelation:17:7 @ But the angel said to me, "Why did you marvel? I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns.

nkjv@Revelation:17:8 @ The beast that you saw was, and is not, and will ascend out of the bottomless pit and go to perdition. And those who dwell on the earth will marvel, whose names are not written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world, when they see the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.

nkjv@Revelation:17:12 @ "The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast.

nkjv@Revelation:17:15 @ Then he said to me, "The waters which you saw, where the harlot sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations, and tongues.

nkjv@Revelation:17:16 @ And the ten horns which you saw on the beast, these will hate the harlot, make her desolate and naked, eat her flesh and burn her with fire.

nkjv@Revelation:17:18 @ And the woman whom you saw is that great city which reigns over the kings of the earth."

nkjv@Revelation:18:4 @ And I heard another voice from heaven saying, "Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues.

nkjv@Revelation:18:6 @ Render to her just as she rendered to you, and repay her double according to her works; in the cup which she has mixed, mix double for her.

nkjv@Revelation:18:10 @ standing at a distance for fear of her torment, saying, "Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! For in one hour your judgment has come.'

nkjv@Revelation:18:14 @ The fruit that your soul longed for has gone from you, and all the things which are rich and splendid have gone from you, and you shall find them no more at all.

nkjv@Revelation:18:20 @ "Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you holy apostles and prophets, for God has avenged you on her!"

nkjv@Revelation:18:22 @ The sound of harpists, musicians, flutists, and trumpeters shall not be heard in you anymore. No craftsman of any craft shall be found in you anymore, and the sound of a millstone shall not be heard in you anymore.

nkjv@Revelation:18:23 @ The light of a lamp shall not shine in you anymore, and the voice of bridegroom and bride shall not be heard in you anymore. For your merchants were the great men of the earth, for by your sorcery all the nations were deceived.

nkjv@Revelation:19:5 @ Then a voice came from the throne, saying, "Praise our God, all you His servants and those who fear Him, both small and great!"

nkjv@Revelation:19:10 @ And I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, "See that you do not do that! I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy."

nkjv@Revelation:19:18 @ that you may eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them, and the flesh of all people, free and slave, both small and great."

nkjv@Revelation:22:9 @ Then he said to me, "See that you do not do that. For I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren the prophets, and of those who keep the words of this book. Worship God."

nkjv@Revelation:22:16 @ "I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star."

nkjv@Revelation:22:21 @ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
