wmth@Romans:1:21 @ For when they had come to know God, they did not give Him glory as God nor render Him thanks, but they became absorbed in useless discussions, and their senseless minds were darkened.
wmth@Romans:1:26 @ This then is the reason why God gave them up to vile passions. For not only did the women among them exchange the natural use of their bodies for one which is contrary to nature, but the men also,
wmth@Romans:1:32 @ In short, though knowing full well the sentence which God pronounces against actions such as theirs, as things which deserve death, they not only practise them, but even encourage and applaud others who do them.
wmth@Romans:2:13 @ It is not those that merely hear the Law read who are righteous in the sight of God, but it is those that obey the Law who will be pronounced righteous.
wmth@Romans:2:25 @ Circumcision does indeed profit, if you obey the Law; but if you are a Law-breaker, the fact that you have been circumcised counts for nothing.
wmth@Romans:2:29 @ But the true Jew is one inwardly, and true circumcision is heart-circumcision–not literal, but spiritual; and such people receive praise not from men, but from God.
wmth@Romans:3:5 @ But if our unrighteousness sets God's righteousness in a clearer light, what shall we say? (Is God unrighteous –I speak in our everyday language– when He inflicts punishment?
wmth@Romans:3:19 @ But it cannot be denied that all that the Law says is addressed to those who are living under the Law, in order that every mouth may be stopped, and that the whole world may await sentence from God.
wmth@Romans:3:21 @ But now a righteousness coming from God has been brought to light apart from any Law, both Law and Prophets bearing witness to it–
wmth@Romans:3:27 @ Where then is there room for your boasting? It is for ever shut out. On what principle? On the ground of merit? No, but on the ground of faith.
wmth@Romans:4:2 @ For if he was held to be righteous on the ground of his actions, he has something to boast of; but not in the presence of God.
wmth@Romans:4:4 @ But in the case of a man who works, pay is not reckoned a favour but a debt;
wmth@Romans:4:5 @ whereas in the case of a man who pleads no actions of his own, but simply believes in Him who declares the ungodly free from guilt, his faith is placed to his credit as righteousness.
wmth@Romans:4:12 @ and the forefather of the circumcised, namely of those who not merely are circumcised, but also walk in the steps of the faith which our forefather Abraham had while he was as yet uncircumcised.
wmth@Romans:4:13 @ Again, the promise that he should inherit the world did not come to Abraham or his posterity conditioned by Law, but by faith-righteousness.
wmth@Romans:4:15 @ For the Law inflicts punishment; but where no Law exists, there can be no violation of Law.
wmth@Romans:4:17 @ so that the promise should be made sure to all Abraham's true descendants; not merely to those who are righteous through the Law, but to those who are righteous through a faith like that of Abraham. Thus in the sight of God in whom he believed, who gives life to the dead and makes reference to things that do not exist, as though they did, Abraham is the forefather of all of us. As it is written,
wmth@Romans:4:20 @ Nor did he in unbelief stagger at God's promise, but became mighty in faith, giving glory to God,
wmth@Romans:5:8 @ But God gives proof of His love to us in Christ's dying for us while we were still sinners.
wmth@Romans:5:11 @ And not only so, but we also exult in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now obtained that reconciliation.
wmth@Romans:5:15 @ But God's free gift immeasurably outweighs the transgression. For if through the transgression of the one individual the mass of mankind have died, infinitely greater is the generosity with which God's grace, and the gift given in His grace which found expression in the one man Jesus Christ, have been bestowed on the mass of mankind.
wmth@Romans:5:20 @ Now Law was brought in later on, so that transgression might increase. But where sin increased, grace has overflowed;
wmth@Romans:6:8 @ But, seeing that we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him;
wmth@Romans:6:10 @ Death has no longer any power over Him. For by the death which He died He became, once for all, dead in relation to sin; but by the life which He now lives He is alive in relation to God.
wmth@Romans:6:11 @ In the same way you also must regard yourselves as dead in relation to sin, but as alive in relation to God, because you are in Christ Jesus.
wmth@Romans:6:14 @ For Sin shall not be lord over you, since you are subjects not of Law, but of grace.
wmth@Romans:6:15 @ Are we therefore to sin because we are no longer under the authority of Law, but under grace? No, indeed!
wmth@Romans:6:17 @ But thanks be to God that though you were once in thraldom to Sin, you have now yielded a hearty obedience to that system of truth in which you have been instructed.
wmth@Romans:6:22 @ But now that you have been set free from the tyranny of Sin, and have become the bondservants of God, you have your reward in being made holy, and you have the Life of the Ages as the final result.
wmth@Romans:6:23 @ For the wages paid by Sin are death; but God's free gift is the Life of the Ages bestowed upon us in Christ Jesus our Lord.
wmth@Romans:7:2 @ A wife, for instance, whose husband is living is bound to him by the Law; but if her husband dies the law that bound her to him has now no hold over her.
wmth@Romans:7:3 @ This accounts for the fact that if during her husband's life she lives with another man, she will be stigmatized as an adulteress; but that if her husband is dead she is no longer under the old prohibition, and even though she marries again, she is not an adulteress.
wmth@Romans:7:6 @ But seeing that we have died to that which once held us in bondage, the Law has now no hold over us, so that we render a service which, instead of being old and formal, is new and spiritual.
wmth@Romans:7:9 @ Once, apart from Law, I was alive, but when the Commandment came, sin sprang into life, and I died;
wmth@Romans:7:13 @ Did then a thing which is good become death to me? No, indeed, but sin did; so that through its bringing about death by means of what was good, it might be seen in its true light as sin, in order that by means of the Commandment the unspeakable sinfulness of sin might be plainly shown.
wmth@Romans:7:14 @ For we know that the Law is a spiritual thing; but I am unspiritual–the slave, bought and sold, of sin.
wmth@Romans:7:15 @ For what I do, I do not recognize as my own action. What I desire to do is not what I do, but what I am averse to is what I do.
wmth@Romans:7:16 @ But if I do that which I do not desire to do, I admit the excellence of the Law,
wmth@Romans:7:17 @ and now it is no longer I that do these things, but the sin which has its home within me does them.
wmth@Romans:7:19 @ For what I do is not the good thing that I desire to do; but the evil thing that I desire not to do, is what I constantly do.
wmth@Romans:7:20 @ But if I do that which I desire not to do, it can no longer be said that it is I who do it, but the sin which has its home within me does it.
wmth@Romans:7:23 @ but I discover within me a different Law at war with the Law of my understanding, and leading me captive to the Law which is everywhere at work in my body–the Law of sin.
wmth@Romans:7:25 @ Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord!) To sum up then, with my understanding, I –my true self– am in servitude to the Law of God, but with my lower nature I am in servitude to the Law of sin.
wmth@Romans:8:4 @ in order that in our case the requirements of the Law might be fully met. For our lives are regulated not by our earthly, but by our spiritual natures.
wmth@Romans:8:6 @ Because for the mind to be given up to earthly things means death; but for it to be given up to spiritual things means Life and peace.
wmth@Romans:8:9 @ You, however, are not devoted to earthly, but to spiritual things, if the Spirit of God is really dwelling in you; whereas if any man has not the Spirit of Christ, such a one does not belong to Him.
wmth@Romans:8:10 @ But if Christ is in you, though your body must die because of sin, yet your spirit has Life because of righteousness.
wmth@Romans:8:13 @ For if you so live, death is near; but if, through being under the sway of the spirit, you are putting your old bodily habits to death, you will live.
wmth@Romans:8:15 @ You have not for the second time acquired the consciousness of being –a consciousness which fills you with terror. But you have acquired a deep inward conviction of having been adopted as sons– a conviction which prompts us to cry aloud, »Abba! our Father!«
wmth@Romans:8:20 @ For the Creation fell into subjection to failure and unreality (not of its own choice, but by the will of Him who so subjected it).
wmth@Romans:8:24 @ It is that we have been saved. But an object of hope is such no longer when it is present to view; for when a man has a thing before his eyes, how can he be said to hope for it?
wmth@Romans:8:25 @ But if we hope for something which we do not see, then we eagerly and patiently wait for it.
wmth@Romans:8:26 @ In the same way the Spirit also helps us in our weakness; for we do not know what prayers to offer nor in what way to offer them. But the Spirit Himself pleads for us in yearnings that can find no words,
wmth@Romans:8:32 @ He who did not withhold even His own Son, but gave Him up for all of us, will He not also with Him freely give us all things?
wmth@Romans:9:7 @ nor because they are Abraham's true children. But the promise was
wmth@Romans:9:8 @ In other words, it is not the children by natural descent who count as God's children, but the children made such by the promise are regarded as Abraham's posterity.
wmth@Romans:9:11 @ and even then, though they were not then born and had not done anything either good or evil, yet in order that God's electing purpose might not be frustrated, based, as it was, not on their actions but on the will of Him who called them, she was told,
wmth@Romans:9:16 @ And from this we learn that everything is dependent not on man's will or endeavour, but upon God who has mercy. For the Scripture said to Pharaoh,
wmth@Romans:9:20 @ Nay, but who are you, a mere man, that you should cavil against GOD?
wmth@Romans:9:24 @ even towards us whom He has called not only from among the Jews but also from among the Gentiles?
wmth@Romans:9:32 @ And why? Because they were pursuing a righteousness which should arise not from faith, but from what they regarded as merit. They stuck their foot against the stone which lay in their way;
wmth@Romans:10:2 @ For I bear witness that they possess an enthusiasm for God, but it is an unenlightened enthusiasm.
wmth@Romans:10:6 @ But the righteousness which is based on faith speaks in a different tone. »Say not in your heart,« it declares, »`Who shall ascend to Heaven?'« –that is, to bring Christ down;
wmth@Romans:10:8 @ But what does it say?»The Message is close to you, in your mouth and in your heart;« that is, the Message which we are publishing about the faith–
wmth@Romans:10:14 @ But how are they to call on One in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in One whose voice they have never heard? And how are they to hear without a preacher?
wmth@Romans:10:16 @ But, some will say, they have not all hearkened to the Good News. No, for Isaiah asks,
wmth@Romans:10:18 @ But, I ask, have they not heard? Yes, indeed:
wmth@Romans:10:19 @ But again, did Israel fail to understand? Listen to Moses first. He says,
wmth@Romans:11:4 @ But what did God say to him in reply?
wmth@Romans:11:6 @ But if it is in His grace that He has selected them, then His choice is no longer determined by human actions. Otherwise grace would be grace no longer.
wmth@Romans:11:7 @ How then does the matter stand? It stands thus. That which Israel are in earnest pursuit of, they have not obtained; but God's chosen servants have obtained it, and the rest have become hardened.
wmth@Romans:11:11 @ I ask, however, »Have they stumbled so as to be finally ruined?« No, indeed; but by their lapse salvation has come to the Gentiles in order to arouse the jealousy of the descendants of Israel;
wmth@Romans:11:13 @ But to you Gentiles I say that, since I am an Apostle specially sent to the Gentiles, I take pride in my ministry,
wmth@Romans:11:15 @ For if their having been cast aside has carried with it the reconciliation of the world, what will their being accepted again be but Life out of death?
wmth@Romans:11:17 @ And if some of the branches have been pruned away, and you, although you were but a wild olive, have been grafted in among them and have become a sharer with others in the rich sap of the root of the olive tree,
wmth@Romans:11:22 @ Notice therefore God's kindness and God's severity. On those who have fallen His severity has descended, but upon you His kindness has come, provided that you do not cease to respond to that kindness. Otherwise you will be cut off also.
wmth@Romans:11:25 @ For there is a truth, brethren, not revealed hitherto, of which I do not wish to leave you in ignorance, for fear you should attribute superior wisdom to yourselves–the truth, I mean, that partial blindness has fallen upon Israel until the great mass of the Gentiles have come in;
wmth@Romans:11:28 @ In relation to the Good News, the Jews are God's enemies for your sakes; but in relation to God's choice they are dearly loved for the sake of their forefathers.
wmth@Romans:11:30 @ but just as you were formerly disobedient to Him, but now have received mercy at a time when they are disobedient,
wmth@Romans:12:2 @ And do not follow the customs of the present age, but be transformed by the entire renewal of your minds, so that you may learn by experience what God's will is–that will which is good and beautiful and perfect.
wmth@Romans:12:3 @ For through the authority graciously given to me I warn every individual among you not to value himself unduly, but to cultivate sobriety of judgement in accordance with the amount of faith which God has allotted to each one.
wmth@Romans:12:6 @ But since we have special gifts which differ in accordance with the diversified work graciously entrusted to us, if it is prophecy, let the prophet speak in exact proportion to his faith;
wmth@Romans:12:16 @ Have full sympathy with one another. Do not give your mind to high things, but let humble ways content you.
wmth@Romans:12:19 @ Do not be revengeful, my dear friends, but give way before anger; for it is written, says the Lord.«
wmth@Romans:12:21 @ Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome the evil with goodness.
wmth@Romans:13:3 @ For judges and magistrates are to be feared not by right-doers but by wrong-doers. You desire –do you not?– to have no reason to fear your ruler. Well, do the thing that is right, and then he will commend you.
wmth@Romans:13:4 @ For he is God's servant for your benefit. But if you do what is wrong, be afraid. He does not wear the sword to no purpose: he is God's servant–an administrator to inflict punishment upon evil-doers.
wmth@Romans:13:5 @ We must obey therefore, not only in order to escape punishment, but also for conscience' sake.
wmth@Romans:14:1 @ I now pass to another subject. Receive as a friend a man whose faith is weak, but not for the purpose of deciding mere matters of opinion.
wmth@Romans:14:2 @ One man's faith allows him to eat anything, while a man of weaker faith eats nothing but vegetables.
wmth@Romans:14:4 @ Who are you that you should find fault with the servant of another? Whether he stands or falls is a matter which concerns his own master. But stand he will; for the Master can give him power to stand.
wmth@Romans:14:10 @ But you, why do you find fault with your brother? Or you, why do you look down upon your brother? We shall all stand before God to be judged;
wmth@Romans:14:13 @ Therefore let us no longer judge one another; but, instead of that, you should come to this judgement–that we must not put a stumbling-block in our brother's path, nor anything to trip him up.
wmth@Romans:14:14 @ As one who lives in union with the Lord Jesus, I know and am certain that in its own nature no food is `impure'; but if people regard any food as impure, to them it is.
wmth@Romans:14:17 @ For the Kingdom of God does not consist of eating and drinking, but of right conduct, peace and joy, through the Holy Spirit;
wmth@Romans:14:20 @ Do not for food's sake be throwing down God's work. All food is pure; but a man is in the wrong if his food is a snare to others.
wmth@Romans:14:23 @ But he who has misgivings and yet eats meat is condemned already, because his conduct is not based on faith; for all conduct not based on faith is sinful.
wmth@Romans:15:14 @ But as to you, brethren, I am convinced –yes, I Paul am convinced– that, even apart from my teaching, you are already full of goodness of heart, and enriched with complete Christian knowledge, and are also competent to instruct one another.
wmth@Romans:15:15 @ But I write to you the more boldly –partly as reminding you of what you already know– because of the authority graciously entrusted to me by God,
wmth@Romans:15:19 @ with power manifested in signs and marvels, and through the power of the Holy Spirit. But –to speak simply of my own labours– beginning in Jerusalem and the outlying districts, I have proclaimed without reserve, even as far as Illyricum, the Good News of the Christ;
wmth@Romans:15:21 @ But, as Scripture says,
wmth@Romans:15:23 @ But now, as there is no more unoccupied ground in this part of the world, and I have for years past been eager to pay you a visit,
wmth@Romans:15:25 @ But at present I am going to Jerusalem to serve God's people,
wmth@Romans:15:26 @ for Macedonia and Greece have kindly contributed a certain sum in relief of the poor among God's people, in Jerusalem.
wmth@Romans:15:30 @ But I entreat you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love which His Spirit inspires, to help me by wrestling in prayer to God on my behalf,
wmth@Romans:16:4 @ friends who have endangered their own lives for mine. I am grateful to them, and not I alone, but all the Gentile Churches also.
wmth@Romans:16:17 @ But I beseech you, brethren, to keep a watch on those who are causing the divisions among you, and are leading others into sin, in defiance of the instruction which you have received; and habitually to shun them.
wmth@Romans:16:18 @ For men of that stamp are not bondservants of Christ our Lord, but are slaves to their own appetites; and by their plausible words and their flattery they utterly deceive the minds of the simple.
wmth@Romans:16:19 @ Your fidelity to the truth is everywhere known. I rejoice over you, therefore, but I wish you to be wise as to what is good, and simple-minded as to what is evil.

wmth@1Corinthians:1:10 @ Now I entreat you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to cultivate a spirit of harmony –all of you– and that there be no divisions among you, but rather a perfect union through your having one mind and one judgement.
wmth@1Corinthians:1:16 @ I did, however, baptize Stephanas' household also: but I do not think that I baptized any one else.
wmth@1Corinthians:1:17 @ Christ did not send me to baptize, but to proclaim the Good News; and not in merely wise words–lest the Cross of Christ should be deprived of its power.
wmth@1Corinthians:1:18 @ For the Message of the Cross is foolishness to those who are on the way to perdition, but it is the power of God to those whom He is saving.
wmth@1Corinthians:1:24 @ but to those who have received the Call, whether Jews or Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.
wmth@1Corinthians:1:27 @ But God has chosen the things which the world regards as foolish, in order to put its wise men to shame; and God has chosen the things which the world regards as destitute of influence, in order to put its powerful things to shame;
wmth@1Corinthians:1:30 @ But you –and it is all God's doing– are in Christ Jesus: He has become for us a wisdom which is from God, consisting of righteousness and sanctification and deliverance;
wmth@1Corinthians:2:4 @ And my language and the Message that I proclaimed were not adorned with persuasive words of earthly wisdom, but depended upon truths which the Spirit taught and mightily carried home;
wmth@1Corinthians:2:5 @ so that your trust might rest not on the wisdom of man but on the power of God.
wmth@1Corinthians:2:7 @ But in dealing with truths hitherto kept secret we speak of God's wisdom–that hidden wisdom which, before the world began, God pre-destined, so that it should result in glory to us;
wmth@1Corinthians:2:9 @ But –to use the words of Scripture– we speak of and which have never entered the heart of man:
wmth@1Corinthians:2:12 @ But we have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which comes forth from God, that we may know the blessings that have been so freely given to us by God.
wmth@1Corinthians:2:13 @ Of these we speak –not in language which man's wisdom teaches us, but in that which the Spirit teaches– adapting, as we do, spiritual words to spiritual truths.
wmth@1Corinthians:2:15 @ But the spiritual man judges of everything, although he is himself judged by no one.

wmth@1Corinthians:3:15 @ If any one's work is burnt up, he will suffer the loss of it; yet he will himself be rescued, but only, as it were, by passing through the fire.
wmth@1Corinthians:4:4 @ Though I am not conscious of having been in any way unfaithful, yet I do not for that reason stand acquitted; but He whose scrutiny I must undergo is the Lord.
wmth@1Corinthians:4:5 @ Therefore form no premature judgements, but wait until the Lord returns. He will both bring to light the secrets of darkness and will openly disclose the motives that have been in people's hearts; and then the praise which each man deserves will come to him from God.
wmth@1Corinthians:4:14 @ I am not writing all this to shame you, but I am offering you advice as my dearly-loved children.
wmth@1Corinthians:4:18 @ But some of you have been puffed up through getting the idea that I am not coming to Corinth.
wmth@1Corinthians:4:19 @ But, if the Lord is willing, I shall come to you without delay; and then I shall know not the fine speeches of these conceited people, but their power.

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

wmth@1Corinthians:10:20 @ No, but that which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, not to God; and I would not have you have fellowship with one another through the demons.
wmth@1Corinthians:10:23 @ Everything is allowable, but not everything is profitable. Everything is allowable, but everything does not build others up.
wmth@1Corinthians:10:24 @ Let no one be for ever seeking his own good, but let each seek that of his fellow man.
wmth@1Corinthians:10:28 @ But if any one tells you, »This food has been offered in sacrifice;« abstain from eating it–out of respect for him who warned you, and, as before, for conscience' sake.
wmth@1Corinthians:10:29 @ But now I mean his conscience, not your own. »Why, on what ground,« you may object, »is the question of my liberty of action to be decided by a conscience not my own?
wmth@1Corinthians:10:33 @ That is the way that I also seek in everything the approval of all men, not aiming at my own profit, but at that of the many, in the hope that they may be saved.
wmth@1Corinthians:11:5 @ but a woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her Head, for it is exactly the same as if she had her hair cut short.
wmth@1Corinthians:11:6 @ If a woman will not wear a veil, let her also cut off her hair. But since it is a dishonor to a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, let her wear a veil.
wmth@1Corinthians:11:8 @ Man does not take his origin from woman, but woman takes hers from man.
wmth@1Corinthians:11:9 @ For man was not created for woman's sake, but woman for man's.
wmth@1Corinthians:11:12 @ For just as woman originates from man, so also man comes into existence through woman, but everything springs originally from God.
wmth@1Corinthians:11:15 @ but that if a woman has long hair it is her glory, because her hair was given her for a covering?
wmth@1Corinthians:11:16 @ But if any one is inclined to be contentious on the point, we have no such custom, nor have the Churches of God.
wmth@1Corinthians:11:17 @ But while giving you these instructions, there is one thing I cannot praise–your meeting together, with bad rather than good results.
wmth@1Corinthians:11:28 @ But let a man examine himself, and, having done that, then let him eat the bread and drink from the cup.
wmth@1Corinthians:11:32 @ But when we are judged by the Lord, chastisement follows, to save us from being condemned along with the world.
wmth@1Corinthians:12:4 @ Now there are various kinds of gifts, but there is one and the same Spirit;
wmth@1Corinthians:12:7 @ But to each of us a manifestation of the Spirit has been granted for the common good.
wmth@1Corinthians:12:11 @ But these results are all brought about by one and the same Spirit, who bestows His gifts upon each of us in accordance with His own will.
wmth@1Corinthians:12:12 @ For just as the human body is one and yet has many parts, and all its parts, many as they are, constitute but one body, so it is with the Church of Christ.
wmth@1Corinthians:12:13 @ For, in fact, in one Spirit all of us –whether we are Jews or Gentiles, slaves or free men– were baptized to form but one body; and we were all nourished by that one Spirit.
wmth@1Corinthians:12:14 @ For the human body does not consist of one part, but of many.
wmth@1Corinthians:12:18 @ But, as a matter of fact, God has arranged the parts in the body –every one of them– as He has seen fit.
wmth@1Corinthians:12:20 @ But, as a matter of fact, there are many parts and but one body.
wmth@1Corinthians:12:24 @ But it was God who built up the body, and bestowed more abundant honor on the part that felt the need,
wmth@1Corinthians:12:25 @ that there might be no disunion in the body, but that all the members might entertain the same anxious care for one another's welfare.
wmth@1Corinthians:12:31 @ But always seek to excel in the greater gifts. And now I will point out to you a way of life which transcends all others.
wmth@1Corinthians:13:1 @ If I can speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but am destitute of Love, I have but become a loud-sounding trumpet or a clanging cymbal.
wmth@1Corinthians:13:2 @ If I possess the gift of prophecy and am versed in all mysteries and all knowledge, and have such absolute faith that I can remove mountains, but am destitute of Love, I am nothing.
wmth@1Corinthians:13:3 @ And if I distribute all my possessions to the poor, and give up my body to be burned, but am destitute of Love, it profits me nothing.
wmth@1Corinthians:13:6 @ She finds no pleasure in injustice done to others, but joyfully sides with the truth.
wmth@1Corinthians:13:8 @ Love never fails. But if there are prophecies, they will be done away with; if there are languages, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be brought to an end.
wmth@1Corinthians:13:10 @ but when the perfect state of things is come, all that is imperfect will be brought to an end.
wmth@1Corinthians:13:12 @ For the present we see things as if in a mirror, and are puzzled; but then we shall see them face to face. For the present the knowledge I gain is imperfect; but then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
wmth@1Corinthians:14:1 @ Be eager in your pursuit of this Love, and be earnestly ambitious for spiritual gifts, but let it be chiefly so in order that you may prophesy.
wmth@1Corinthians:14:2 @ For he who speaks in an unknown tongue is not speaking to men, but to God; for no one understands him. Yet in the Spirit he is speaking secret truths.
wmth@1Corinthians:14:3 @ But he who prophesies speaks to men words of edification, encouragement and comfort.
wmth@1Corinthians:14:4 @ He who speaks in an unknown tongue does good to himself, but he who prophesies does good to the Church.
wmth@1Corinthians:14:5 @ I should be right glad were you all to speak in `tongues,' but yet more glad were you all to prophesy. And, in fact, the man who prophesies is superior to him who speaks in `tongues,' except when the latter can interpret in order that the Church may get a blessing.
wmth@1Corinthians:14:6 @ But, brethren, as things are, if I come to you speaking in `tongues,' what benefit shall I confer on you, if the utterance is neither in the form of a revelation nor of additional knowledge nor of prophecy nor of teaching?
wmth@1Corinthians:14:14 @ For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is barren.
wmth@1Corinthians:14:19 @ but in the Church I would rather speak five words with my understanding –so as to instruct others also– than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue.
wmth@1Corinthians:14:20 @ Brethren, do not prove yourselves to be children in your minds. As regards evil, indeed, be utter babes, but as regards your minds prove yourselves to be men of ripe years.
wmth@1Corinthians:14:22 @ This shows that the gift of tongues is intended as a sign not to those who believe but to unbelievers, but prophecy is intended not for unbelievers but for those who believe.
wmth@1Corinthians:14:29 @ But if there are Prophets, let two or three speak and let the rest judge.
wmth@1Corinthians:14:33 @ For God is not a God of disorder, but of peace, as He is in all the Churches of His people.
wmth@1Corinthians:14:38 @ But if any one is ignorant, let him be ignorant.
wmth@1Corinthians:15:1 @ But let me recall to you, brethren, the Good News which I brought you, which you accepted, and on which you are standing,
wmth@1Corinthians:15:10 @ But what I am I am by the grace of God, and His grace bestowed upon me did not prove ineffectual. But I labored more strenuously than all the rest–yet it was not I, but God's grace working with me.
wmth@1Corinthians:15:11 @ But whether it is I or they, this is the way we preach and the way that you came to believe.
wmth@1Corinthians:15:12 @ But if Christ is preached as having risen from the dead, how is it that some of you say that there is no such thing as a resurrection of the dead?
wmth@1Corinthians:15:20 @ But, in reality, Christ risen from among the dead, being the first to do so of those who are asleep.
wmth@1Corinthians:15:23 @ But this will happen to each in the right order–Christ having been the first to rise, and afterwards Christ's people rising at His return.
wmth@1Corinthians:15:28 @ But when the whole universe has been made subject to Him, then the Son Himself will also become subject to Him who has made the universe subject to Him, in order that GOD may be all in all.
wmth@1Corinthians:15:35 @ But some one will say, »How can the dead rise? And with what kind of body do they come back?«
wmth@1Corinthians:15:37 @ and as for what you sow, it is not the plant which is to be that you are sowing, but a bare grain, of wheat (it may be) or of something else, and God gives it a body as He has seen fit,
wmth@1Corinthians:15:40 @ There are bodies which are celestial and there are bodies which are earthly, but the glory of the celestial ones is one thing, and that of the earthly ones is another.
wmth@1Corinthians:15:46 @ Nevertheless, it is not what is spiritual that came first, but what is animal; what is spiritual came afterwards.
wmth@1Corinthians:15:50 @ But this I tell you, brethren: our mortal bodies cannot inherit the Kingdom of God, nor will what is perishable inherit what is imperishable.
wmth@1Corinthians:15:51 @ I tell you a truth hitherto kept secret: we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
wmth@1Corinthians:15:54 @ But when this perishable nature has put on what is imperishable, and this mortality has put on immortality, then will the words of Scripture be fulfilled,
wmth@1Corinthians:15:57 @ but God be thanked who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!
wmth@1Corinthians:16:7 @ For I do not wish to see you on this occasion merely in passing; but if the Lord permits, I hope to remain some time with you.
wmth@1Corinthians:16:11 @ Therefore let no one slight him, but all of you should help him forward in peace to join me; for I am waiting for him and others of the brethren.
wmth@1Corinthians:16:12 @ As for our brother Apollos, I have repeatedly urged him to accompany the brethren who are coming to you: but he is quite resolved not to do so at present. He will come, however, when he has a good opportunity.
wmth@2Corinthians:1:6 @ But if, on the one hand, we are enduring affliction, it is for your comfort and salvation; and if, on the other hand, we are receiving comfort, it is for your comfort which is produced within you through your patient fortitude under the same sufferings as those which we also are enduring.
wmth@2Corinthians:1:9 @ Nay, we had, as we still have, the sentence of death within our own selves, in order that our confidence may repose, not on ourselves, but on God who raised the dead to life.
wmth@2Corinthians:1:12 @ For the reason for our boasting is this–the testimony of our own conscience that it was in holiness and with pure motives before God, and in reliance not on worldly wisdom but on the gracious help of God, that we have conducted ourselves in the world, and above all in our relations with you.
wmth@2Corinthians:1:19 @ For Jesus Christ the Son of God –He who was proclaimed among you by us, that is by Silas and Timothy and myself– did not show Himself a waverer between »Yes« and »No.« But it was and always is »Yes« with Him.
wmth@2Corinthians:1:21 @ But He who is making us as well as you stedfast through union with the Anointed One, and has anointed us, is God,
wmth@2Corinthians:1:23 @ But as for me, as my soul shall answer for it, I appeal to God as my witness, that it was to spare you pain that I gave up my visit to Corinth.
wmth@2Corinthians:2:1 @ But, so far as I am concerned, I have resolved not to have a painful visit the next time I come to see you.
wmth@2Corinthians:2:2 @ For if I of all men give you pain, who then is there to gladden my heart, but the very persons to whom I give pain?
wmth@2Corinthians:2:4 @ For with many tears I write to you, and in deep suffering and depression of spirit, not in order to grieve you, but in the hope of showing you how brimful my heart is with love for you.
wmth@2Corinthians:2:14 @ But to God be the thanks who in Christ ever heads our triumphal procession, and by our hands waves in every place that sweet incense, the knowledge of Him.
wmth@2Corinthians:2:17 @ We are; for, unlike most teachers, we are not fraudulent hucksters of God's Message; but with transparent motives, as commissioned by God, in God's presence and in communion with Christ, so we speak.
wmth@2Corinthians:3:3 @ For all can see that you are a letter of Christ entrusted to our care, and written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the ever-living God–and not on tablets of stone, but on human hearts as tablets.
wmth@2Corinthians:3:5 @ not that of ourselves we are competent to decide anything by our own reasonings, but our competency comes from God.
wmth@2Corinthians:3:6 @ It is He also who has made us competent to serve Him in connexion with a new Covenant, which is not a written code but a Spirit; for the written code inflicts death, but the Spirit gives Life.
wmth@2Corinthians:3:13 @ who used to throw a veil over his face to hide from the gaze of the children of Israel the passing away of what was but transitory.
wmth@2Corinthians:3:16 @ But whenever the heart of the nation shall have returned to the Lord, the veil will be withdrawn.
wmth@2Corinthians:4:2 @ Nay, we have renounced the secrecy which marks a feeling of shame. We practice no cunning tricks, nor do we adulterate God's Message.
