tcent@Romans:10:7 @ or »Who will descend into the abyss?« (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).

tcent@Romans:10:12 @ For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; the same Lord is Lord of all and bestows his riches on all who call upon him.

tcent@Romans:11:18 @ do not boast over the branches. If you do boast, remember that you do not support the root, but the root supports you.

tcent@Romans:11:32 @ For God has bound all men over to disobedience, that he may have mercy upon all.

tcent@Romans:13:9 @ The commandments, »You shall not commit adultery,« »You shall not murder,« »You shall not steal,« »You shall not covet,« and any other commandment there may be, are summed up in this sentence, »You shall love your neighbor as yourself.«

tcent@Romans:15:2 @ Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, to build him up.

tcent@1Corinthians:2:1 @ When I came to you, brethren, I did not come with superiority of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God.

tcent@1Corinthians:3:15 @ If any man's work is burned up, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, but only as through fire.

tcent@1Corinthians:6:14 @ By his power God raised the Lord, and he will also raise us up.

tcent@1Corinthians:7:35 @ This I say for your own benefit, not to put a restraint upon you, but to promote what is good and to secure undivided devotion to the Lord.

tcent@1Corinthians:8:1 @ Now concerning food sacrificed to idols: we know that we all possess knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.

tcent@1Corinthians:9:12 @ If others share this right of support from you, do not we all the more?

tcent@1Corinthians:10:7 @ Do not be idolaters, as some of them were; as it is written, »The people sat down to eat and drink, and stood up to play.«

tcent@1Corinthians:10:11 @ Now these things happened to them as an example, and they were written down for our instruction, upon whom the ends of the ages have come.

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

tcent@1Corinthians:10:21 @ You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You cannot partake of the table of the Lord and the table of demons.

tcent@1Corinthians:10:23 @ »All things are lawful,« but not all things are helpful. »All things are lawful,« but not all things build up.

tcent@1Corinthians:11:20 @ Therefore when you meet together, it is not the Lord's supper that you eat,

tcent@1Corinthians:11:25 @ In the same way he took the cup also after supper, saying, »This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.«

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

tcent@1Corinthians:11:27 @ Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of profaning the body and blood of the Lord.

tcent@1Corinthians:11:28 @ Let a man examine himself, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup.

tcent@1Corinthians:12:14 @ For the body is not made up of one member but of many.

tcent@1Corinthians:14:12 @ So it is with you; since you are eager for spiritual gifts, strive to excel in building up the church.

tcent@1Corinthians:16:2 @ On the first day of every week, each one of you is to put something aside and store it up, as he may prosper, so that no collections be made when I come.

tcent@1Corinthians:16:17 @ I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus, because they have supplied what was lacking on your part.

tcent@2Corinthians:2:1 @ So I made up my mind that I would not make another painful visit to you.

tcent@2Corinthians:4:11 @ For we who live are always being given up to death for Jesus' sake, so that the life of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh.

tcent@2Corinthians:5:4 @ For while we are in this tent, we groan and are burdened, because we do not wish to be unclothed, but to be further clothed, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.

tcent@2Corinthians:7:2 @ Make room for us in your hearts; we have wronged no one, we have corrupted no one, we have taken advantage of no one.

tcent@2Corinthians:8:14 @ but at the present time your abundance should supply their need, so that their abundance may supply your need, that there may be equality.

tcent@2Corinthians:9:1 @ Now it is superfluous for me to write to you about the offering for the saints,

tcent@2Corinthians:9:2 @ for I know your readiness, of which I boast about you to the Macedonians, saying that Achaia has been ready since last year; and your zeal has stirred up most of them.

tcent@2Corinthians:9:10 @ Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will multiply the harvest of your righteousness.

tcent@2Corinthians:9:12 @ For the ministry of this service is not only fully supplying the needs of the saints, but is also overflowing through many thanksgivings to God.

tcent@2Corinthians:10:5 @ We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ,

tcent@2Corinthians:10:8 @ For even if I boast somewhat further about our authority, which the Lord gave for building you up and not for destroying you, I shall not be put to shame.

tcent@2Corinthians:11:4 @ For if someone comes to you and preaches a Jesus other than the one we preached, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it easily enough.

tcent@2Corinthians:11:5 @ I think that I am not in the least inferior to these super-apostles.

tcent@2Corinthians:11:8 @ I robbed other churches by accepting support from them in order to serve you.

tcent@2Corinthians:11:9 @ And when I was with you and needed something, I was not a burden to anyone, for the brethren who came from Macedonia supplied what I needed. I have kept myself from being a burden to you in any way, and will continue to do so.

tcent@2Corinthians:11:19 @ For you put up with fools gladly, being so wise yourselves!

tcent@2Corinthians:11:20 @ For you put up with anyone if he makes slaves of you, or preys upon you, or takes advantage of you, or exalts himself, or strikes you in the face.

tcent@2Corinthians:12:2 @ I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven. Whether it was in the body or out of the body I do not knowGod knows.

tcent@2Corinthians:12:4 @ was caught up to paradise and heard inexpressible things, which a man is not permitted to tell.

tcent@2Corinthians:12:11 @ I have been a fool! You forced me to it, for I ought to have been commended by you. For I was not in the least inferior to these super-apostles, even though I am nothing.

tcent@2Corinthians:12:14 @ Here for the third time I am ready to come to you. And I will not be a burden to you, for I seek not what is yours but you; for children ought not to lay up for their parents, but parents for their children.

tcent@2Corinthians:12:19 @ Have you been thinking all along that we have been defending ourselves before you? It is in the sight of God that we have been speaking in Christ, and all for your upbuilding, beloved.

tcent@2Corinthians:13:10 @ I write these things while I am absent, in order that when I come I may not have to be severe in my use of the authority which the Lord gave me for building you up, and not for tearing you down.

tcent@Galatians:1:17 @ nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia; and again I returned to Damascus.

tcent@Galatians:1:18 @ Then after three years, I went up to Jerusalem to become acquainted with Cephas and stayed with him fifteen days.

tcent@Galatians:2:1 @ Then after fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus along also.

tcent@Galatians:2:2 @ I went up because of a revelation; and I set before them the gospel that I preach among the Gentiles. But I did this privately to those who were of reputation, for fear that I was running or had run my race in vain.

tcent@Galatians:3:5 @ Does he who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you do so by works of the law, or by hearing with faith?

tcent@Galatians:6:8 @ For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption; but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.

tcent@Galatians:6:16 @ Peace and mercy be upon all who walk by this rule, upon the Israel of God.

tcent@Ephesians:2:6 @ and raised us up with him, and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,

tcent@Ephesians:4:12 @ to equip the saints for the work of service, for the building up of the body of Christ;

tcent@Ephesians:4:15 @ But speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into him, who is the head, into Christ,

tcent@Ephesians:4:16 @ from whom the whole body, being joined and held together by what every joint supplies, according to the proper working of each part, causes the growth of the body and builds itself up in love.

tcent@Ephesians:4:22 @ You were taught, with regard to your former manner of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful lusts;

tcent@Ephesians:4:29 @ Let no unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building others up according to the need of the moment, that it may impart grace to those who hear.

tcent@Ephesians:5:2 @ and walk in love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

tcent@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.

tcent@Ephesians:5:25 @ Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her,

tcent@Ephesians:6:4 @ Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

tcent@Ephesians:6:9 @ Masters, do the same to them, and give up threatening, knowing that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and that there is no partiality with him.

tcent@Ephesians:6:13 @ Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you may be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm.

tcent@Ephesians:6:16 @ in addition to all this, taking up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.

tcent@Philippians:2:17 @ But even if I am being poured out as a drink offering upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all.

tcent@Philippians:2:27 @ Indeed he was ill, near to death. But God had mercy on him, and not only on him but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.

tcent@Philippians:3:14 @ I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

tcent@Philippians:3:16 @ Only let us live up to what we have already attained.

tcent@Philippians:4:6 @ Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.

tcent@Philippians:4:18 @ I have received full payment and even more; I am amply supplied, having received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent, a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God.

tcent@Philippians:4:19 @ And my God will supply all your needs according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

tcent@Colossians:1:5 @ because of the hope laid up for you in heaven. Of this you have heard before in the word of the truth, the gospel

tcent@Colossians:1:24 @ Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I do my share for the sake of his body, which is the church, in filling up what is lacking in Christ's afflictions.

tcent@Colossians:2:7 @ rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, overflowing with thanksgiving.

tcent@Colossians:2:12 @ having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised up with him through faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead.

tcent@Colossians:2:18 @ Let no one disqualify you for the prize by delighting in self-abasement and the worship of the angels, taking his stand on visions he has seen, puffed up without cause by his fleshly mind,

tcent@1Thessalonians:2:16 @ hindering us from speaking to the Gentiles so that they may be saved; with the result that they always fill up the measure of their sins. But wrath has come upon them at last.

tcent@1Thessalonians:3:10 @ as we night and day keep praying most earnestly that we may see you face to face and supply what is lacking in your faith?

tcent@1Thessalonians:4:17 @ Then we who are alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord.

tcent@1Thessalonians:5:3 @ While people are saying, »Peace and safety,« then destruction will come upon them suddenly as labor pains upon a woman with child, and they will not escape.

tcent@1Thessalonians:5:11 @ Therefore encourage one another and build up one another, just as you also are doing.

tcent@2Thessalonians:2:11 @ For this reason God sends upon them a strong delusion so that they will believe what is false,

tcent@1Timothy:2:8 @ Therefore I want the men in every place to pray, lifting up holy hands, without anger or quarreling.

tcent@1Timothy:3:15 @ if I am delayed, you will know how one ought to conduct himself in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and support of the truth.

tcent@1Timothy:5:5 @ Now she who is a real widow, and who has been left all alone, has set her hope on God and continues in supplications and prayers night and day.

tcent@1Timothy:5:10 @ and she must be well known for her good deeds, as one who has brought up children, shown hospitality, washed the feet of the saints, relieved those in distress, and devoted herself to doing good in every way.

tcent@2Timothy:2:18 @ who have gone astray from the truth. They say that the resurrection has already taken place, and upset the faith of some.

tcent@2Timothy:2:23 @ Don't have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because you know that they produce quarrels.

tcent@2Timothy:4:8 @ In the future there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day; and not only to me, but also to all who have loved his appearing.

tcent@Hebrews:5:4 @ And no one takes the honor upon himself, but he is called by God, just as Aaron was.

tcent@Hebrews:5:7 @ In the days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to the one who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his godly fear.

tcent@Hebrews:13:15 @ Through him then let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that acknowledge his name.

tcent@James:2:21 @ Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up Isaac his son on the altar?

tcent@James:3:6 @ And the tongue is a fire, a world of evil among the members of the body. The tongue corrupts our whole person, sets the whole course of our life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.

tcent@James:5:1 @ Come now, you rich, weep and howl for the miseries that are coming upon you.

tcent@James:5:3 @ Your gold and silver have rusted, and their rust will be evidence against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up treasure in the last days.

To him belongs the glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

tcent@1Peter:4:12 @ Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal which comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you.
