wmth@Acts:28:25 @ Unable to agree among themselves, they at last left him, but not before Paul had spoken a parting word to them, saying, »Right well did the Holy Spirit say to your forefathers through the Prophet Isaiah:

wmth@Acts:28:28 @ »Be fully assured, therefore, that this salvation –God's salvation– has now been sent to the Gentiles, and that they, at any rate, will give heed.«

wmth@Romans:1:3 @ who, as regards His human descent, belonged to the posterity of David,

wmth@Romans:1:4 @ but as regards the holiness of His Spirit was decisively proved by His Resurrection to be the Son of God–I mean concerning Jesus Christ our Lord,

wmth@Romans:1:6 @ among whom you also, called, as you have been, to belong to Jesus Christ, are numbered:

wmth@Romans:1:8 @ First of all, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for what He has done for all of you; for the report of your faith is spreading through the whole world.

wmth@Romans:1:9 @ I call God to witness –to whom I render priestly and spiritual service by telling the Good News about His Son– how unceasingly I make mention of you in His presence,

wmth@Romans:1:13 @ And I desire you to know, brethren, that I have many a time intended to come to you –though until now I have been disappointed– in order that among you also I might gather some fruit from my labours, as I have already done among the rest of the Gentile nations.

wmth@Romans:1:16 @ For I am not ashamed of the Good News. It is God's power which is at work for the salvation of every one who believes–the Jew first, and then the Gentile.

wmth@Romans:1:17 @ For in the Good News a righteousness which comes from God is being revealed, depending on faith and tending to produce faith; as the Scripture has it,

wmth@Romans:1:19 @ because what may be known about Him is plain to their inmost consciousness; for He Himself has made it plain to them.

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:1:22 @ While boasting of their wisdom they became utter fools,

wmth@Romans:1:23 @ and, instead of worshipping the imperishable God, they worshipped images resembling perishable man or resembling birds or beasts or reptiles.

wmth@Romans:1:24 @ For this reason, in accordance with their own depraved cravings, God gave them up to uncleanness, allowing them to dishonour their bodies among themselves with impurity.

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:1:27 @ in just the same way –neglecting that for which nature intends women– burned with passion towards one another, men practising shameful vice with men, and receiving in their own selves the reward which necessarily followed their misconduct.

wmth@Romans:1:28 @ And just as they had refused to continue to have a full knowledge of God, so it was to utterly worthless minds that God gave them up, for them to do things which should not be done.

wmth@Romans:1:30 @ They were secret backbiters, open slanderers; hateful to God, insolent, haughty, boastful; inventors of new forms of sin, disobedient to parents, destitute of common sense,

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:2:1 @ You are therefore without excuse, O man, whoever you are who sit in judgement upon others. For when you pass judgement on your fellow man, you condemn yourself; for you who sit in judgement upon others are guilty of the same misdeeds;

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

wmth@Romans:3:21 @ 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:3:24 @ gaining acquittal from guilt by His free unpurchased grace through the deliverance which is found in Christ Jesus.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

wmth@Romans:6:22 @ 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: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:7:5 @ For whilst we were under the thraldom of our earthly natures, sinful passions – made sinful by the Law– were always being aroused to action in our bodily faculties that they might yield fruit to death.

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

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

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

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

wmth@Romans:7:13 @ 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:7:15 @ 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:7:17 @ and now it is no longer I that do these things, but the sin which has its home within me does them.

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

wmth@Romans:7:20 @ 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:8:2 @ for the Spirit's Law – telling of Life in Christ Jesus– has set me free from the Law that deals only with sin and death.

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

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

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

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

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

wmth@Romans:8:15 @ 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:8:18 @ Why, what we now suffer I count as nothing in comparison with the glory which is soon to be manifested in us.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

wmth@Romans:9:16 @ 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:9:19 @ »Why then does God still find fault?« you will ask; »for who is resisting His will?«

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

wmth@Romans:13:3 @ 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:13:6 @ Why, this is really the reason you pay taxes; for tax-gatherers are ministers of God, devoting their energies to this very work.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

wmth@Romans:16:23 @ Gaius, my host, who is also the host of the whole Church, greets you. So do Erastus, the treasurer of the city, and Quartus our brother.

wmth@Romans:16:25 @ To Him who has it in His power to make you strong, as declared in the Good News which I am spreading, and the proclamation concerning Jesus Christ, in harmony with the unveiling of the Truth which in the periods of past Ages remained unuttered,

wmth@Romans:16:26 @ but has now been brought fully to light, and by the command of the God of the Ages has been made known by the writings of the Prophets among all the Gentiles to win them to obedience to the faith–

wmth@1Corinthians:1:2 @ To the Church of God in Corinth, men and women consecrated in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all in every place who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ– their Lord as well as ours.

wmth@1Corinthians:1:6 @ Thus my testimony as to the Christ has been confirmed in your experience,

wmth@1Corinthians:1:8 @ who will also keep you stedfast to the very End, so that you will be free from reproach on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

wmth@1Corinthians:1:9 @ God is ever true to His promises, and it was by Him that you were, one and all, called into fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ, our Lord.

wmth@1Corinthians:1:13 @ Is the Christ in fragments? Is it Paul who was crucified on your behalf? Or were you baptized to be Paul's adherents?

wmth@1Corinthians:1:16 @ I did, however, baptize Stephanas' household also: but I do not think that I baptized any one else.

wmth@1Corinthians:1:20 @ Where is your wise man? Where your expounder of the Law? Where your investigator of the questions of this present age? Has not God shown the world's wisdom to be utter foolishness?

wmth@1Corinthians:1:21 @ For after the world by its wisdom –as God in His wisdom had ordained– had failed to gain the knowledge of God, God was pleased, by the apparent foolishness of the Message which we preach, to save those who accepted it.

wmth@1Corinthians:1:23 @ while we proclaim a Christ who has been crucified–to the Jews a stumbling-block, to Gentiles foolishness,

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:1:28 @ and the things which the world regards as base, and those which it sets utterly at nought –things that have no existence– God has chosen in order to reduce to nothing things that do exist;

wmth@1Corinthians:1:29 @ to prevent any mortal man from boasting in the presence of God.

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:1:31 @ in order that it may be as Scripture says,

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

wmth@1Corinthians:2:2 @ For I determined to be utterly ignorant, when among you, of everything except of Jesus Christ, and of Him as having been crucified.

wmth@1Corinthians:2:3 @ And so far as I myself was concerned, I came to you in conscious feebleness and in fear and in deep anxiety.

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:2:6 @ Yet when we are among mature believers we do speak words of wisdom; a wisdom not belonging, however, to the present age nor to the leaders of the present age who are soon to pass away.

wmth@1Corinthians:2:10 @ For us, however, God has drawn aside the veil through the teaching of the Spirit; for the Spirit searches everything, including the depths of the divine nature.

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:3:1 @ And as for myself, brethren, I found it impossible to speak to you as spiritual men. It had to be as to worldlings–mere babes in Christ.

wmth@1Corinthians:3:3 @ you are still unspiritual. For so long as jealousy and strife continue among you, can it be denied that you are unspiritual and are living and acting like mere men of the world?

wmth@1Corinthians:3:5 @ What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? They are just God's servants, through whose efforts, and as the Lord granted power to each, you accepted the faith.

wmth@1Corinthians:3:6 @ I planted and Apollos watered; but it was God who was, all the time, giving the increase.

wmth@1Corinthians:3:7 @ So that neither the planter nor the waterer is of any importance. God who gives the increase is all in all.

wmth@1Corinthians:3:10 @ In discharge of the task which God graciously entrusted to me, I –like a competent master-builder– have laid a foundation, and others are building upon it. But let every one be careful how and what he builds.

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

wmth@1Corinthians:3:14 @ If any one's work –the building which he has erected– stands the test, he will be rewarded.

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:3:16 @ Do you not know that you are God's Sanctuary, and that the Spirit of God has His home within you?

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

wmth@1Corinthians:4:1 @ As for us Apostles, let any one take this view of us–we are Christ's officers, and stewards of God's secret truths.

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:4:6 @ In writing this much, brethren, with special reference to Apollos and myself, I have done so for your sakes, in order to teach you by our example what those words mean, which say, »Nothing beyond what is written!« –so that you may cease to take sides in boastful rivalry, for one teacher against another.

wmth@1Corinthians:4:7 @ Why, who gives you your superiority, my brother? Or what have you that you did not receive? And if you really did receive it, why boast as if this were not so?

wmth@1Corinthians:4:8 @ Every one of you already has all that heart can desire; already you have grown rich; without waiting for us, you have ascended your thrones! Yes indeed, would to God that you had ascended your thrones, that we also might reign with you!

wmth@1Corinthians:4:9 @ God, it seems to me, has exhibited us Apostles last of all, as men condemned to death; for we have come to be a spectacle to all creation–alike to angels and to men.

wmth@1Corinthians:4:10 @ We, for Christ's sake, are labeled as »foolish«; you, as Christians, are men of shrewd intelligence. We are mere weaklings: you are strong. You are in high repute: we are outcasts.

wmth@1Corinthians:4:13 @ when slandered, we try to conciliate. We have come to be regarded as the mere dirt and filth of the world–the refuse of the universe, even to this hour.

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

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

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

wmth@1Corinthians:5:3 @ I for my part, present with you in spirit although absent in body, have already, as though I were present, judged him who has so acted.

wmth@1Corinthians:5:4 @ In the name of our Lord Jesus, when you are all assembled and my spirit is with you, together with the power of our Lord Jesus,

wmth@1Corinthians:5:6 @ It is no good thing–this which you make the ground of your boasting. Do you not know that a little yeast corrupts the whole of the dough?

wmth@1Corinthians:5:7 @ Get rid of the old yeast so that you may be dough of a new kind; for in fact you free from corruption. For our Passover Lamb has already been offered in sacrifice–even Christ.

wmth@1Corinthians:5:8 @ Therefore let us keep our festival not with old yeast nor with the yeast of what is evil and mischievous, but with bread free from yeast–the bread of transparent sincerity and of truth.

wmth@1Corinthians:5:9 @ I wrote to you in that letter that you were not to associate with fornicators;

wmth@1Corinthians:5:10 @ not that in this world you are to keep wholly aloof from such as they, any more than from people who are avaricious and greedy of gain, or from worshippers of idols. For that would mean that you would be compelled to go out of the world altogether.

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:6:1 @ If one of you has a grievance against an opponent, does he dare to go to law before irreligious men and not before God's people?

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

wmth@1Corinthians:6:11 @ And all this describes what some of you were. But now you have had every stain washed off: now you have been set apart as holy: now you have been pronounced free from guilt; in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and through the Spirit of our God.

wmth@1Corinthians:6:13 @ Food of all kinds is meant for the stomach, and the stomach is meant for food, and God will cause both of them to perish. Yet the body does not exist for the purpose of fornication, but for the Master's service, and the Master exists for the body;

wmth@1Corinthians:6:14 @ and as God by His power raised the Master to life, so He will also raise us up.

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

wmth@1Corinthians:6:17 @ But he who is in union with the Master is one with Him in spirit.

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

wmth@1Corinthians:7:5 @ Do not refuse one another, unless perhaps it is just for a time and by mutual consent, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer and may then associate again; lest the Adversary begin to tempt you because of your deficiency in self-control.

wmth@1Corinthians:7:7 @ Yet I would that everybody lived as I do; but each of us has his own special gift from God–one in one direction and one in another.

wmth@1Corinthians:7:8 @ But I tell the unmarried, and women who are widows, that it is well for them to remain as I am.

wmth@1Corinthians:7:9 @ If, however, they cannot maintain self-control, by all means let them marry; for marriage is better than the fever of passion.

wmth@1Corinthians:7:11 @ or if she has already left him, let her either remain as she is or be reconciled to him; and that a husband is not to send away his wife.

wmth@1Corinthians:7:12 @ To the rest it is I who speak–not the Lord. If a brother has a wife who is an unbeliever, and she consents to live with him, let him not send her away.

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

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

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

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

wmth@1Corinthians:7:17 @ Only, whatever be the condition in life which the Lord has assigned to each individual –and whatever the condition in which he was living when God called him– in that let him continue.

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

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

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

wmth@1Corinthians:7:24 @ Where each one stood when he was called, there, brethren, let him still stand–close to God.

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

wmth@1Corinthians:7:28 @ Yet if you marry, you have not sinned; and if a maiden marries, she has not sinned. Such people, however, will have outward trouble. But I am for sparing you.

wmth@1Corinthians:7:29 @ Yet of this I warn you, brethren: the time has been shortened–so that henceforth those who have wives should be as though they had none,

wmth@1Corinthians:7:30 @ those who weep as though they did not weep, those who rejoice as though they did not rejoice, those who buy as though they did not possess,

wmth@1Corinthians:7:31 @ and those who use the world as not using it to the full. For the world as it now exists is passing away.

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

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

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

wmth@1Corinthians:7:36 @ If, however, a father thinks he is acting unbecomingly towards his still unmarried daughter if she be past the bloom of her youth, and so the matter is urgent, let him do what she desires; he commits no sin; she and her suitor should be allowed to marry.

wmth@1Corinthians:7:37 @ But if a father stands firm in his resolve, being free from all external constraint and having a legal right to act as he pleases, and in his own mind has come to the decision to keep his daughter unmarried, he will do well.

wmth@1Corinthians:7:40 @ But in my judgement, her state is a more enviable one if she remains as she is; and I also think that I have the Spirit of God.

wmth@1Corinthians:8:1 @ Now as to things which have been sacrificed to idols. This is a subject which we already understand–because we all have knowledge of it. Knowledge, however, tends to make people conceited; it is love that builds us up.

wmth@1Corinthians:8:2 @ If any one imagines that he already possesses any true knowledge, he has as yet attained to no knowledge of the kind to which he ought to have attained;

wmth@1Corinthians:8:4 @ As to eating things which have been sacrificed to idols, we are fully aware that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no God but One.

wmth@1Corinthians:8:7 @ But all believers do not recognize these facts. Some, from force of habit in relation to the idol, even now eat idol sacrifices as such, and their consciences, being but weak, are polluted.

wmth@1Corinthians:8:10 @ For if any one were to see you, who know the real truth of this matter, reclining at table in an idol's temple, would not his conscience (supposing him to be a weak believer) be emboldened to eat the food which has been sacrificed to the idol?

wmth@1Corinthians:9:2 @ If to other men I am not an Apostle, yet at any rate I am one to you; for your very existence as a Christian Church is the seal of my Apostleship.

wmth@1Corinthians:9:5 @ Have we not a right to take with us on our journeys a Christian sister as our wife, as the rest of the Apostles do–and the Lord's brothers and Peter?

wmth@1Corinthians:9:6 @ Or again, is it only Barnabas and myself who are not at liberty to give up working with our hands?

wmth@1Corinthians:9:7 @ What soldier ever serves at his own cost? Who plants a vineyard and yet does not eat any of the grapes? Or who tends a herd of cattle and yet does not taste their milk?

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

wmth@1Corinthians:9:12 @ If other teachers possess that right over you, do not we possess it much more? Yet we have not availed ourselves of the right, but we patiently endure all things rather than hinder in the least degree the progress of the Good News of the Christ.

wmth@1Corinthians:9:15 @ But I, for my part, have not used, and do not use, my full rights in any of these things. Nor do I now write with that object so far as I myself am concerned, for I would rather die than have anybody make this boast of mine an empty one.

wmth@1Corinthians:9:16 @ If I go on preaching the Good News, that is nothing for me to boast of; for the necessity is imposed upon me; and alas for me, if I fail to preach it!

wmth@1Corinthians:9:17 @ And if I preach willingly, I receive my wages; but if against my will, a stewardship has nevertheless been entrusted to me.

wmth@1Corinthians:9:18 @ What are my wages then? The very fact that the Good News which I preach will cost my hearers nothing, so that I cannot be charged with abuse of my privileges as a Christian preacher.

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

wmth@1Corinthians:9:20 @ To the Jews I have become like a Jew in order to win Jews; to men under the Law as if I were under the Law –although I am not– in order to win those who are under the Law;

wmth@1Corinthians:9:21 @ to men without Law as if I were without Law –although I am not without Law in relation to God but am abiding in Christ's Law– in order to win those who are without Law.

wmth@1Corinthians:9:22 @ To the weak I have become weak, so as to gain the weak. To all men I have become all things, in the hope that in every one of these ways I may save some.

wmth@1Corinthians:10:6 @ And in this they became a warning to us, to teach us not to be eager, as they were eager, in pursuit of what is evil.

wmth@1Corinthians:10:7 @ And you must not be worshippers of idols, as some of them were. For it is written,

wmth@1Corinthians:10:9 @ And do not let us test the Lord too far, as some of them tested Him and were destroyed by the serpents.

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

wmth@1Corinthians:13:4 @ Love is patient and kind. Love knows neither envy nor jealousy. Love is not forward and self-assertive, nor boastful and conceited.

wmth@1Corinthians:13:5 @ She does not behave unbecomingly, nor seek to aggrandize herself, nor blaze out in passionate anger, nor brood over wrongs.

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

wmth@1Corinthians: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:14:6 @ 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:14:12 @ Therefore, seeing that you are ambitious for spiritual gifts, seek to excel in them so as to benefit the Church.

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

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:14:23 @ Accordingly if the whole Church has assembled and all are speaking in `tongues,' and there come in ungifted men, or unbelievers, will they not say that you are all mad?

wmth@1Corinthians:14:25 @ and the hidden evils of his heart are brought to light. And, as the result, he will fall on his face and worship God, and will report to others that of a truth God is among you.

wmth@1Corinthians:14:26 @ What then, brethren? Whenever you assemble, there is not one of you who is not ready either with a song of praise, a sermon, a revelation, a `tongue,' or an interpretation. Let everything be done with a view to the building up of faith and character.

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:14:34 @ Let married women be silent in the Churches, for they are not permitted to speak. They must be content with a subordinate place, as the Law also says;

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

wmth@1Corinthians:14:36 @ Was it from you that God's Message first went forth, or is it to you only that it has come?

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

wmth@1Corinthians:15:2 @ through which also you are obtaining salvation, if you bear in mind the words in which I proclaimed it–unless indeed your faith has been unreal from the very first.

wmth@1Corinthians:15:4 @ that He was buried; that He rose to life again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures,

wmth@1Corinthians:15:5 @ and was seen by Peter, and then by the Twelve.

wmth@1Corinthians:15:6 @ Afterwards He was seen by more than five hundred brethren at once, most of whom are still alive, although some of them have now fallen asleep.

wmth@1Corinthians:15:7 @ Afterwards He was seen by James, and then by all the Apostles.

wmth@1Corinthians:15:8 @ And last of all, as to one of untimely birth, He appeared to me also.

wmth@1Corinthians:15:9 @ For I am the least of the Apostles, and am not fit to be called an Apostle–because I persecuted the Church of God.

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:15:12 @ 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:15:13 @ If there is no such thing as a resurrection of the dead, then Christ Himself has not risen to life.

wmth@1Corinthians:15:14 @ And if Christ has not risen, it follows that what we preach is a delusion, and that your faith also is a delusion.

wmth@1Corinthians:15:16 @ For if none of the dead are raised to life, then Christ has not risen;

wmth@1Corinthians:15:17 @ and if Christ has not risen, your faith is a vain thing–you are still in your sins.

wmth@1Corinthians:15:18 @ It follows also that those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.

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:15:22 @ For just as through Adam all die, so also through Christ all will be made alive again.

wmth@1Corinthians:15:26 @ The last enemy that is to be overthrown is Death;

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

wmth@1Corinthians:15:28 @ 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:15:31 @ I protest, brethren, as surely as I glory over you –which I may justly do in Christ Jesus our Lord– that I die day by day.

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

wmth@1Corinthians:15:34 @ Wake from this drunken fit; live righteous lives, and cease to sin; for some have no knowledge of God: I speak thus in order to move you to shame.

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

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:15:44 @ an animal body is sown, a spiritual body is raised. As surely as there is an animal body, so there is also a spiritual body.

wmth@1Corinthians:15:45 @ In the same way also it is written, the last Adam is a life-giving Spirit.

wmth@1Corinthians:15:49 @ And as we have borne a resemblance to the earthy one, let us see to it that we also bear a resemblance to the heavenly One.

wmth@1Corinthians:15:52 @ in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the sounding of the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incapable of decay, and shall 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:16:1 @ As to the collection for God's people, what I have directed the Churches of Galatia to do, you must do also.

wmth@1Corinthians:16:2 @ On the first day of every week let each of you put on one side and store up at his home whatever gain has been granted to him; so that whenever I come, there may then be no collections going on.

wmth@1Corinthians:16:4 @ And if it is worth while for me also to make the journey, they shall go as my companions.

wmth@1Corinthians:16:5 @ I shall come to you after passing through Macedonia; for my plan will be to pass through Macedonia;

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:16:10 @ If Timothy pays you a visit, see that he is free from fear in his relations with you; for he is engaged in the Master's work just as I am.

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@1Corinthians:16:15 @ And I beseech you, brethren –you know the household of Stephanas, how they were the earliest Greek converts to Christ, and have devoted themselves to the service of God's people–

wmth@1Corinthians:16:17 @ It is a joy to me that Stephanas, Fortunatus and Achaicus have now arrived, because what was wanting so far as you are concerned they have supplied.

wmth@1Corinthians:16:18 @ They have refreshed my spirit, and yours. Acknowledge such men as these.

wmth@1Corinthians:16:19 @ The Churches in the province of Asia send you greetings; and Aquila and Prisca, in hearty Christian love, do the same, together with the Church which meets at their house.

wmth@2Corinthians:1:3 @ Heartfelt thanks be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ–the Father who is full of compassion and the God who gives all comfort.

wmth@2Corinthians:1:5 @ For just as we have more than our share of suffering for the Christ, so also through the Christ we have more than our share of comfort.

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:1:7 @ And our hope for you is stedfast; for we know that as you are partners with us in the sufferings, so you are also partners in the comfort.

wmth@2Corinthians:1:8 @ For as for our troubles which came upon us in the province of Asia, we would have you know, brethren, that we were exceedingly weighed down, and felt overwhelmed, so that we renounced all hope even of life.

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:1:13 @ For we are writing to you nothing different from what we have written before, or from what indeed you already recognize as truth and will, I trust, recognize as such to the very end;

wmth@2Corinthians:1:14 @ just as some few of you have recognized us as your reason for boasting, even as you will be ours, on the day of Jesus our Lord.

wmth@2Corinthians:1:15 @ It was because I entertained this confidence that I intended to visit you before going elsewhere –so that you might receive a twofold proof of God's favour–

wmth@2Corinthians:1:16 @ and to pass by way of Corinth into Macedonia. Then my plan was to return from Macedonia to you, and be helped forward by you to Judaea.

wmth@2Corinthians:1:18 @ As certainly as God is faithful, our language to you is not now »Yes« and now »No.«

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:1:20 @ For all the promises of God, whatever their number, have their confirmation in Him; and for this reason through Him also our »Amen« acknowledges their truth and promotes the glory of God through our faith.

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:1:22 @ and He has also set His seal upon us, and has put His Spirit into our hearts as a pledge and foretaste of future blessing.

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:2:3 @ And I write this to you in order that when I come I may not receive pain from those who ought to give me joy, confident as I am as to all of you that my joy is the joy of you all.

wmth@2Corinthians:2:5 @ Now if any one has caused sorrow, it has been caused not so much to me, as in some degree –for I have no wish to exaggerate– to all of you.

wmth@2Corinthians:2:6 @ In the case of such a person the punishment which was inflicted by the majority of you is enough.

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

wmth@2Corinthians:2:16 @ to the last-named an odor of death predictive of death, and to the others an odor of life predictive of life. And for such service as this who is competent?

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:3:1 @ Do you say that this is self-recommendation once more? Or do we need, as some do, letters of recommendation to you or from you?

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:3:10 @ For, in fact, that which was once resplendent in glory has no glory at all in this respect, that it pales before the glory which surpasses it.

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

wmth@2Corinthians: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:3:18 @ And all of us, with unveiled faces, reflecting like bright mirrors the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same likeness, from one degree of radiant holiness to another, even as derived from the Lord the Spirit.

wmth@2Corinthians:4:1 @ Therefore, being engaged in this service and being mindful of the mercy which has been shown us, we are not cowards.

wmth@2Corinthians:4:3 @ If, however, the meaning of our Good News has been veiled, the veil has been on the hearts of those who are on the way to perdition,

wmth@2Corinthians:4:4 @ in whom the god of this present age has blinded their unbelieving minds so as to shut out the sunshine of the Good News of the glory of the Christ, who is the image of God.

wmth@2Corinthians:4:5 @ (For we do not proclaim ourselves, but we proclaim Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your bondservants for the sake of Jesus.)

wmth@2Corinthians:4:6 @ For God who said, »Out of darkness let light shine,« is He who has shone in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God's glory, which is radiant on the face of Christ.

wmth@2Corinthians:4:7 @ But we have this treasure in a fragile vase of clay, in order that the surpassing greatness of the power may be seen to belong to God, and not to originate in us.

wmth@2Corinthians:4:13 @ But possessing the same Spirit of faith as he who wrote, we also believe, and therefore we speak.

wmth@2Corinthians:4:15 @ For everything is for your sakes, in order that grace, being more richly bestowed because of the thanksgivings of the increased number, may more and more promote the glory of God.

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

wmth@2Corinthians:4:17 @ For this our light and transitory burden of suffering is achieving for us a preponderating, yes, a vastly preponderating, and eternal weight of glory;

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

wmth@2Corinthians:5:4 @ Yes, we who are in this tent certainly do sigh under our burdens, for we do not wish to lay aside that with which we are now clothed, but to put on more, so that our mortality may be absorbed in Life.

wmth@2Corinthians:5:5 @ And He who formed us with this very end in view is God, who has given us His Spirit as a pledge and foretaste of that bliss.

wmth@2Corinthians:5:9 @ And for this reason also we make it our ambition, whether at home or in exile, to please Him perfectly.

wmth@2Corinthians:5:10 @ For we must all of us appear before Christ's judgement-seat in our true characters, in order that each may then receive an award for his actions in this life, in accordance with what he has done, whether it be good or whether it be worthless.

wmth@2Corinthians:5:12 @ We are not again commending ourselves to your favour, but are furnishing you with a ground of boasting on our behalf, so that you may have a reply ready for those with whom superficial appearances are everything and sincerity of heart counts for nothing.

wmth@2Corinthians:5:13 @ For if we have been beside ourselves, it has been for God's glory; or if we are now in our right senses, it is in order to be of service to you.

wmth@2Corinthians:5:14 @ For the love of Christ overmasters us, the conclusion at which we have arrived being this–that One having died for all, His death was their death,

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

wmth@2Corinthians:5:17 @ So that if any one is in Christ, he is a new creature: the old state of things has passed away; a new state of things has come into existence.

wmth@2Corinthians:5:18 @ And all this is from God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Christ, and has appointed us to serve in the ministry of reconciliation.

wmth@2Corinthians:5:19 @ We are to tell how God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not charging men's transgressions to their account, and that He has entrusted to us the Message of this reconciliation.

wmth@2Corinthians:5:20 @ On Christ's behalf therefore we come as ambassadors, God, as it were, making entreaty through our lips: we, on Christ's behalf, beseech men to be reconciled to God.

wmth@2Corinthians:5:21 @ He has made Him who knew nothing of sin to be sin for us, in order that in Him we may become the righteousness of God.

wmth@2Corinthians:6:1 @ And you also we, as God's fellow workers, entreat not to be found to have received His grace to no purpose.

wmth@2Corinthians:6:4 @ On the contrary, as God's servants, we seek their full approval–by unwearied endurance, by afflictions, by distress, by helplessness;

wmth@2Corinthians:6:8 @ through honour and ignominy, through calumny and praise. We are looked upon as impostors and yet are true men;

wmth@2Corinthians:6:9 @ as obscure persons, and yet are well known; as on the point of death, and yet, strange to tell, we live; as under God's discipline, and yet we are not deprived of life;

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

wmth@2Corinthians:6:13 @ And in just requital –I speak as to my children– let your hearts expand also.

wmth@2Corinthians:6:14 @ Do not come into close association with unbelievers, like oxen yoked with asses. For what is there in common between righteousness and lawlessness? Or what partnership has light with darkness?

wmth@2Corinthians:6:15 @ Where can harmony between Christ and Belial be found? Or what participation has a believer with an unbeliever?

wmth@2Corinthians:6:16 @ And what compact has the Temple of God with idols? For are the Temple of the ever-living God; as God has said,

wmth@2Corinthians:7:3 @ I do not say this to imply blame, for, as I have already said, you have such a place in our hearts that we would die with you or live with you.

wmth@2Corinthians:7:4 @ I have great confidence in you: very loudly do I boast of you. I am filled with comfort: my heart overflows with joy amid all our affliction.

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

wmth@2Corinthians:7:11 @ For mark the effects of this very thing –your having sorrowed with a godly sorrow– what earnestness it has called forth in you, what eagerness to clear yourselves, what indignation, what alarm, what longing affection, what jealousy, what meting out of justice! You have completely wiped away reproach from yourselves in the matter.

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

wmth@2Corinthians:7:13 @ For this reason we feel comforted; and –in addition to this our comfort– we have been filled with all the deeper joy at Titus's joy, because his spirit has been set at rest by you all.

wmth@2Corinthians:7:14 @ For however I may have boasted to him about you, I have no reason to feel ashamed; but as we have in all respects spoken the truth to you, so also our boasting to Titus about you has turned out to be the truth.

wmth@2Corinthians:8:1 @ But we desire to let you know, brethren, of the grace of God which has been bestowed on the Churches of Macedonia;

wmth@2Corinthians:8:2 @ how, while passing through great trouble, their boundless joy even amid their deep poverty has overflowed to increase their generous liberality.

wmth@2Corinthians:8:5 @ They not only did this, as we had expected, but first of all in obedience to God's will they gave their own selves to the Lord and to us.

wmth@2Corinthians:8:6 @ This led us to urge Titus that, as he had previously been the one who commenced the work, so he should now go and complete among you this act of beneficence also.

wmth@2Corinthians:8:7 @ Yes, just as you are already very rich in faith, readiness of speech, knowledge, unwearied zeal, and in the love that is in you, implanted by us, see to it that this grace of liberal giving also flourishes in you.

wmth@2Corinthians:8:9 @ For you know the condescending goodness of our Lord Jesus Christ–how for your sakes He became poor, though He was rich, in order that you through His poverty might grow rich.

wmth@2Corinthians:8:11 @ And now complete the doing also, in order that, just as there was then the eagerness in desiring, there may now be the accomplishment in proportion to your means.

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

wmth@2Corinthians:8:15 @ Even as it is written,

wmth@2Corinthians:8:19 @ And more than that, he is the one who was chosen by the vote of the Churches to travel with us, sharing our commission in the administration of this generous gift to promote the Lord's glory and gratify our own strong desire.

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

wmth@2Corinthians:8:23 @ As for Titus, remember that he is a partner with me, and is my comrade in my labours for you. And as for our brethren, remember that they are delegates from the Churches, and are men in whom Christ is glorified.

wmth@2Corinthians:8:24 @ Exhibit therefore to the Churches a proof of your love, and a justification of our boasting to these brethren about you.

wmth@2Corinthians:9:1 @ As to the services which are being rendered to God's people, it is really unnecessary for me to write to you.

wmth@2Corinthians:9:2 @ For I know your earnest willingness, on account of which I habitually boast of you to the Macedonians, pointing out to them that for a whole year you in Greece have been ready; and the greater number of them have been spurred on by your ardour.

wmth@2Corinthians:9:3 @ Still I send the brethren in order that in this matter our boast about you may not turn out to have been an idle one; so that, as I have said, you may be ready;

wmth@2Corinthians:9:5 @ I have thought it absolutely necessary therefore to request these brethren to visit you before I myself come, and to make sure beforehand that the gift of love which you have already promised may be ready as a gift of love, and may not seem to have been something which I have extorted from you.

wmth@2Corinthians:9:7 @ Let each contribute what he has decided upon in his own mind, and not do it reluctantly or under compulsion.

wmth@2Corinthians:9:9 @ As it is written,

wmth@2Corinthians:9:11 @ May you be abundantly enriched so as to show all liberality, such as through our instrumentality brings thanksgiving to God.

wmth@2Corinthians:9:14 @ while they themselves also in supplications on your behalf pour out their longing love towards you because of God's surpassing grace which is resting upon you.

wmth@2Corinthians:10:1 @ But as for me Paul, I entreat you by the gentleness and self-forgetfulness of Christ–I who when among you have not an imposing personal presence, but when absent am fearlessly outspoken in dealing with you.

wmth@2Corinthians:10:5 @ For we overthrow arrogant `reckonings,' and every stronghold that towers high in defiance of the knowledge of God, and we carry off every thought as if into slavery–into subjection to Christ;

wmth@2Corinthians:10:6 @ while we hold ourselves in readiness to punish every act of disobedience, as soon as ever you as a Church have fully shown your obedience.

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

wmth@2Corinthians:10:8 @ If, however, I were to boast more loudly of our Apostolic authority, which the Lord has given us that we may build you up, not pull you down, I should have no reason to feel ashamed.

wmth@2Corinthians:10:9 @ Let it not seem as if I wanted to frighten you by my letters.

wmth@2Corinthians:10:10 @ For they say »His letters are authoritative and forcible, but his personal presence is unimpressive, and as for eloquence, he has none.«

wmth@2Corinthians:10:12 @ For we have not the `courage' to rank ourselves among, or compare ourselves with, certain persons distinguished by their self-commendation. Yet they are not wise, measuring themselves, as they do, by one another and comparing themselves with one another.

wmth@2Corinthians:10:13 @ We, however, will not exceed due limits in our boasting, but will keep within the limits of the sphere which God has assigned to us as a limit, which reaches even to you.

wmth@2Corinthians:10:14 @ For there is no undue stretch of authority on our part, as though it did not extend to you. We pressed on even to Corinth, and were the first to proclaim to you the Good News of the Christ.

wmth@2Corinthians:10:15 @ We do not exceed our due limits, and take credit for other men's labours; but we entertain the hope that, as your faith grows, we shall gain promotion among you –still keeping within our own sphere– promotion to a larger field of labour,

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

wmth@2Corinthians:11:1 @ I wish you could have borne with a little foolish boasting on my part. Nay, do bear with me.

wmth@2Corinthians:11:3 @ But I am afraid that, as the serpent in his craftiness deceived Eve, so your minds may be led astray from their single-heartedness and their fidelity to Christ.

wmth@2Corinthians:11:7 @ Is it a sin that I abased myself in order for you to be exalted, in that I proclaimed God's Good News to you without fee or reward?

wmth@2Corinthians:11:9 @ And when I was with you and my resources failed, there was no one to whom I became a burden –for the brethren when they came from Macedonia fully supplied my wants– and I kept myself from being in the least a burden to you, and will do so still.

wmth@2Corinthians:11:10 @ Christ knows that it is true when I say that I will not be stopped from boasting of this anywhere in Greece.

wmth@2Corinthians:11:12 @ But I will persist in the same line of conduct in order to cut the ground from under the feet of those who desire an opportunity of getting themselves recognized as being on a level with us in the matters about which they boast.

wmth@2Corinthians:11:13 @ For men of this stamp are sham apostles, dishonest workmen, assuming the garb of Apostles of Christ.

wmth@2Corinthians:11:14 @ And no wonder. Satan, their master, can disguise himself as an angel of light.

wmth@2Corinthians:11:15 @ It is therefore no great thing for his servants also to disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will be in accordance with their actions.

wmth@2Corinthians:11:16 @ To return to what I was saying. Let no one suppose that I am foolish. Or if you must, at any rate make allowance for me as being foolish, in order that I, as well as they, may boast a little.

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

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

wmth@2Corinthians:11:19 @ Wise as you yourselves are, you find pleasure in tolerating fools.

wmth@2Corinthians:11:21 @ I use the language of self-disparagement, as though I were admitting our own feebleness. Yet for whatever reason any one is `courageous' –I speak in mere folly– I also am courageous.

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

wmth@2Corinthians:11:24 @ From the Jews I five times have received forty lashes all but one.

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

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

wmth@2Corinthians:11:28 @ And besides other things, which I pass over, there is that which presses on me daily–my anxiety for all the Churches.

wmth@2Corinthians:11:29 @ Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is led astray into sin, and I am not aflame with indignation?

wmth@2Corinthians:11:30 @ If boast I must, it shall be of things which display my weakness.

wmth@2Corinthians:11:32 @ In Damascus the governor under King Aretas kept guards at the gates of the city in order to apprehend me,

wmth@2Corinthians:11:33 @ but through an opening in the wall I was let down in a basket, and so escaped his hands.

wmth@2Corinthians:12:1 @ I am compelled to boast. It is not a profitable employment, but I will proceed to visions and revelations granted me by the Lord.

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

wmth@2Corinthians:12:4 @ God knows–was caught up into Paradise and heard unspeakable things which no human being is permitted to repeat.

wmth@2Corinthians:12:5 @ Of such a one I will boast; but of myself I will not boast, except in my weaknesses.

wmth@2Corinthians:12:6 @ If however I should choose to boast, I should not be a fool for so doing, for I should be speaking the truth. But I forbear, lest any one should be led to estimate me more highly than what his own eyes attest, or more highly than what he hears from my lips.

wmth@2Corinthians:12:7 @ And judging by the stupendous grandeur of the revelations–therefore lest I should be over-elated there has been sent to me, like the agony of impalement, Satan's angel dealing blow after blow, lest I should be over-elated.

wmth@2Corinthians:12:8 @ As for this, three times have I besought the Lord to rid me of him;

wmth@2Corinthians:12:9 @ but His reply has been, »My grace suffices for you, for power matures in weakness.« Most gladly therefore will I boast of my infirmities rather than complain of them–in order that Christ's power may overshadow me.

wmth@2Corinthians:12:10 @ In fact I take pleasure in infirmities, in the bearing of insults, in distress, in persecutions, in grievous difficulties–for Christ's sake; for when I am weak, then I am strong.

wmth@2Corinthians:12:13 @ In what respect, therefore, have you been worse dealt with than other Churches, except that I myself never hung as a dead weight upon you? Forgive the injustice I thus did you!

wmth@2Corinthians:12:15 @ And as for me, most gladly will I spend all I have and be utterly spent for your salvation.

wmth@2Corinthians:12:16 @ If I love you so intensely, am I the less to be loved? Be that as it may: I was not a burden to you. But being by no means scrupulous, I entrapped you, they say!

wmth@2Corinthians:12:19 @ You are imagining, all this time, that we are making our defense at your bar. In reality it is as in God's presence and in communion with Christ that we speak; but, dear friends, it is all with a view to your progress in goodness.

wmth@2Corinthians:13:2 @ Those who cling to their old sins, and indeed all of you, I have forewarned and still forewarn (as I did on my second visit when present, so I do now, though absent) that, when I come again, I shall not spare you;

wmth@2Corinthians:13:4 @ For though it is true that He was crucified through weakness, yet He now lives through the power of God. We also are weak, sharing His weakness, but with Him we shall be full of life to deal with you through the power of God.

wmth@2Corinthians:13:10 @ For this reason I write thus while absent, that when present I may not have to act severely in the exercise of the authority which the Lord has given me for building up, and not for pulling down.

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

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

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

wmth@Galatians:1:17 @ nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were my seniors in the Apostleship, but I went away into Arabia, and afterwards came back to Damascus.

wmth@Galatians:1:20 @ In making these assertions I am speaking the truth, as in the sight of God.

wmth@Galatians:1:22 @ But to the Christian Churches in Judaea I was personally unknown.

wmth@Galatians:1:23 @ They only heard it said, »He who was once our persecutor is now telling the Good News of the faith of which he formerly made havoc.«

wmth@Galatians:2:1 @ Later still, after an interval of fourteen years, I again went up to Jerusalem in company with Barnabas, taking Titus also with me.

wmth@Galatians:2:2 @ I went up in obedience to a revelation of God's will; and I explained to them the Good News which I proclaim among the Gentiles. To the leaders of the Church this explanation was made in private, lest by any means I should be running, or should already have run, in vain.

wmth@Galatians:2:3 @ But although my companion Titus was a Greek they did not insist upon even his being circumcised.

wmth@Galatians:2:4 @ Yet there was danger of this through the false brethren secretly introduced into the Church, who had stolen in to spy out the freedom which is ours in Christ Jesus, in order to rob us of it.

wmth@Galatians:2:7 @ Indeed, when they saw that I was entrusted with the preaching of the Good News to the Gentiles as Peter had been with that to the Jews–

wmth@Galatians:2:9 @ and when they perceived the mission which was graciously entrusted to me, they (that is to say, James, Peter, and John, who were considered to be the pillars of the Church) welcomed Barnabas and me to their fellowship on the understanding that we were to go to the Gentiles and they to the Jews.

wmth@Galatians:2:10 @ Only they urged that we should remember their poor–a thing which was uppermost in my own mind.

wmth@Galatians:2:12 @ For until certain persons came from James he had been accustomed to eat with Gentiles; but as soon as these persons came, he withdrew and separated himself for fear of the Circumcision party.

wmth@Galatians:2:13 @ And along with him the other Jews also concealed their real opinions, so that even Barnabas was carried away by their lack of straightforwardness.

wmth@Galatians:2:14 @ As soon as I saw that they were not walking uprightly in the spirit of the Good News, I said to Peter, before them all, »If you, though you are a Jew, live as a Gentile does, and not as a Jew, how can you make the Gentiles follow Jewish customs?

wmth@Galatians:2:21 @ I do not nullify the grace of God; for if acquittal from guilt is obtainable through the Law, then Christ has died in vain.«

wmth@Galatians:3:1 @ You foolish Galatians! Whose sophistry has bewitched you–you to whom Jesus Christ has been vividly portrayed as on the Cross?

wmth@Galatians:3:4 @ Have you endured such sufferings to no purpose–if indeed it has been to no purpose?

wmth@Galatians:3:6 @ even as

wmth@Galatians:3:12 @ and the Law has nothing to do with faith. It teaches that

wmth@Galatians:3:13 @ Christ has purchased our freedom from the curse of the Law by becoming accursed for us–because

wmth@Galatians:3:14 @ Our freedom has been thus purchased in order that in Christ Jesus the blessing belonging to Abraham may come upon the nations, so that through faith we may receive the promised Spirit.

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

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

wmth@Galatians:3:17 @ I mean that the Covenant which God had already formally made is not abrogated by the Law which was given four hundred and thirty years later–so as to annul the promise.

wmth@Galatians:3:18 @ For if the inheritance comes through obedience to Law, it no longer comes because of a promise. But, as a matter of fact, God has granted it to Abraham in fulfilment of a promise.

wmth@Galatians:3:19 @ Why then was the Law given? It was imposed later on for the sake of defining sin, until the seed should come to whom God had made the promise; and its details were laid down by a mediator with the help of angels.

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

wmth@Galatians:3:23 @ Before this faith came, we Jews were perpetual prisoners under the Law, living under restraints and limitations in preparation for the faith which was soon to be revealed.

wmth@Galatians:3:24 @ So that the Law has acted the part of a tutor-slave to lead us to Christ, in order that through faith we may be declared to be free from guilt.

wmth@Galatians:3:25 @ But now that this faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor-slave.

wmth@Galatians:4:1 @ Now I say that so long as an heir is a child, he in no respect differs from a slave, although he is the owner of everything,

wmth@Galatians:4:2 @ but he is under the control of guardians and trustees until the time his father has appointed.

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

wmth@Galatians:4:5 @ in order to purchase the freedom of all who were subject to Law, so that we might receive recognition as sons.

wmth@Galatians:4:6 @ And because you are sons, God has sent out the Spirit of His Son to enter your hearts and cry »Abba! our Father!«

wmth@Galatians:4:10 @ You scrupulously observe days and months, special seasons, and years.

wmth@Galatians:4:12 @ Brethren, become as I am, I beseech you; for I have also become like you. In no respect did you behave badly to me.

wmth@Galatians:4:13 @ And you know that in those early days it was on account of bodily infirmity that I proclaimed the Good News to you,

wmth@Galatians:4:14 @ and yet the bodily infirmity which was such a trial to you, you did not regard with contempt or loathing, but you received me as if I had been an angel of God or Christ Jesus Himself!

wmth@Galatians:4:15 @ I ask you, then, what has become of your self-congratulations? For I bear you witness that had it been possible you would have torn out your own eyes and have given them to me.

wmth@Galatians:4:19 @ you for whom I am again, as it were, undergoing the pains of childbirth, until Christ is fully formed within you.

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

wmth@Galatians:4:24 @ All this is allegorical; for the women represent two Covenants. One has its origin on Mount Sinai, and bears children destined for slavery.

wmth@Galatians:4:29 @ Yet just as, at that time, the child born in the common course of nature persecuted the one whose birth was due to the power of the Spirit, so it is now.

wmth@Galatians:5:1 @ Christ having made us gloriously free–stand fast and do not again be hampered with the yoke of slavery.

wmth@Galatians:5:4 @ Christ has become nothing to any of you who are seeking acceptance with God through the Law: you have fallen away from grace.

wmth@Galatians:5:7 @ You were running the race nobly! Who has interfered and caused you to swerve from the truth?

wmth@Galatians:5:9 @ A little yeast corrupts the whole of the dough.

wmth@Galatians:5:11 @ As for me, brethren, if I am still a preacher of circumcision, how is it that I am still suffering persecution? In that case the Cross has ceased to be a stumbling-block!

wmth@Galatians:5:14 @ For the entire Law has been obeyed when you have kept the single precept, which says,

wmth@Galatians:5:20 @ enmity, strife, jealousy, outbursts of passion, intrigues, dissensions, factions, envyings;

wmth@Galatians:5:21 @ hard drinking, riotous feasting, and the like. And as to these I forewarn you, as I have already forewarned you, that those who are guilty of such things will have no share in the Kingdom of God.

wmth@Galatians:5:24 @ Against such things as these there is no law. Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified their lower nature with its passions and appetites.

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

wmth@Galatians:6:10 @ So then, as we have opportunity, let us labour for the good of all, and especially of those who belong to the household of the faith.

wmth@Galatians:6:14 @ But as for me, God forbid that I should glory in anything except the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, upon which the world is crucified to me, and I am crucified to the world.

wmth@Galatians:6:17 @ From this time onward let no one trouble me; for, as for me, I bear, branded on my body, the scars of Jesus as my Master.

wmth@Ephesians:1:3 @ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has crowned us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms in Christ;

wmth@Ephesians:1:4 @ even as, in His love, He chose us as His own in Christ before the creation of the world, that we might be holy and without blemish in His presence.

wmth@Ephesians:1:5 @ For He pre-destined us to be adopted by Himself as sons through Jesus Christ –such being His gracious will and pleasure–

wmth@Ephesians:1:6 @ to the praise of the splendour of His grace with which He has enriched us in the beloved One.

wmth@Ephesians:1:7 @ It is in Him, and through the shedding of His blood, that we have our deliverance –the forgiveness of our offences– so abundant was God's grace,

wmth@Ephesians:1:10 @ for the government of the world when the times are ripe for it–the purpose which He has cherished in His own mind of restoring the whole creation to find its one Head in Christ; yes, things in Heaven and things on earth, to find their one Head in Him.

wmth@Ephesians:1:14 @ that Spirit being a pledge and foretaste of our inheritance, in anticipation of its full redemption–the inheritance which He has purchased to be specially His for the extolling of His glory.

wmth@Ephesians:1:15 @ For this reason I too, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which prevails among you, and of your love for all God's people,

wmth@Ephesians:1:16 @ offer never ceasing thanks on your behalf while I make mention of you in my prayers.

wmth@Ephesians:1:19 @ and what the transcendent greatness of His power in us believers as seen in the working of His infinite might

wmth@Ephesians:1:22 @ God has put all things under His feet, and has appointed Him universal and supreme Head of the Church, which is His Body,

wmth@Ephesians:2:2 @ which were once habitual to you while you walked in the ways of this world and obeyed the Prince of the powers of the air, the spirits that are now at work in the hearts of the sons of disobedience–to you God has given Life.

wmth@Ephesians:2:3 @ Among them all of us also formerly passed our lives, governed by the inclinations of our lower natures, indulging the cravings of those natures and of our own thoughts, and were in our original state deserving of anger like all others.

wmth@Ephesians:2:6 @ raised us with Him from the dead, and enthroned us with Him in the heavenly realms as being in Christ Jesus,

wmth@Ephesians:2:9 @ so that it may be impossible for any one to boast.

wmth@Ephesians:2:10 @ For we are God's own handiwork, created in Christ Jesus for good works which He has pre-destined us to practise.

wmth@Ephesians:2:11 @ Therefore, do not forget that formerly you were Gentiles as to your bodily condition. You were called the Uncircumcision by those who style themselves the Circumcised–their circumcision being one which the knife has effected.

wmth@Ephesians:2:12 @ At that time you were living apart from Christ, estranged from the Commonwealth of Israel, with no share by birth in the Covenants which are based on the Promises, and you had no hope and no God, in all the world.

wmth@Ephesians:2:14 @ For He is our peace–He who has made Jews and Gentiles one, and in His own human nature has broken down the hostile dividing wall,

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

wmth@Ephesians:2:20 @ You are a building which has been reared on the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets, the cornerstone being Christ Jesus Himself,

wmth@Ephesians:2:21 @ in union with whom the whole fabric, fitted and closely joined together, is growing so as to form a holy sanctuary in the Lord;

wmth@Ephesians:3:1 @ For this reason I Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles–

wmth@Ephesians:3:2 @ if, that is, you have heard of the work which God has graciously entrusted to me for your benefit,

wmth@Ephesians:3:3 @ and that by a revelation the truth hitherto kept secret was made known to me as I have already briefly explained it to you.

wmth@Ephesians:3:4 @ By means of that explanation, as you read it, you can judge of my insight into the truth of Christ

wmth@Ephesians:3:5 @ which in earlier ages was not made known to the human race, as it has now been revealed to His holy Apostles and Prophets through the Spirit–

wmth@Ephesians:3:6 @ I mean the truth that the Gentiles are joint heirs with us Jews, and that they form one body with us, and have the same interest as we have in the promise which has been made good in Christ Jesus through the Good News,

wmth@Ephesians:3:7 @ in which I have been appointed to serve, in virtue of the work which God, in the exercise of His power within me, has graciously entrusted to me.

wmth@Ephesians:3:8 @ To me who am less than the least of all God's people has this work been graciously entrusted–to proclaim to the Gentiles the Good News of the exhaustless wealth of Christ,

wmth@Ephesians:3:10 @ concealed in order that the Church might now be used to display to the powers and authorities in the heavenly realms the innumerable aspects of God's wisdom.

wmth@Ephesians:3:11 @ Such was the eternal purpose which He had formed in Christ Jesus our Lord,

wmth@Ephesians:3:14 @ For this reason, on bended knee I beseech the Father,

wmth@Ephesians:3:17 @ I pray that Christ may make His home in your hearts through your faith; so that having your roots deep and your foundations strong, in love, you may become mighty to grasp the idea,

wmth@Ephesians:3:18 @ as it is grasped by all God's people, of the breadth and length, the height and depth–

wmth@Ephesians:3:19 @ yes, to attain to a knowledge of the knowledge-surpassing love of Christ, so that you may be made complete in accordance with God's own standard of completeness.

wmth@Ephesians:4:1 @ I, then, the prisoner for the Master's sake, entreat you to live and act as becomes those who have received the call that you have received–

wmth@Ephesians:4:4 @ There is but one body and but one Spirit, as also when you were called you had one and the same hope held out to you.

wmth@Ephesians:4:7 @ Yet to each of us individually grace was given, measured out with the munificence of Christ.

wmth@Ephesians:4:8 @ For this reason Scripture says:

wmth@Ephesians:4:9 @ (Now this »re-ascended« –what does it mean but that He had first descended into the lower regions of the earth?

wmth@Ephesians:4:10 @ He who descended is the same as He who ascended again far above all the Heavens in order to fill the universe.)

wmth@Ephesians:4:11 @ And He Himself appointed some to be Apostles, some to be Prophets, some to be evangelists, some to be pastors and teachers,

wmth@Ephesians:4:16 @ Dependent on Him, the whole body –its various parts closely fitting and firmly adhering to one another– grows by the aid of every contributory link, with power proportioned to the need of each individual part, so as to build itself up in a spirit of love.

wmth@Ephesians:4:17 @ Therefore I warn you, and I implore you in the name of the Master, no longer to live as the Gentiles in their perverseness live,

wmth@Ephesians:4:18 @ with darkened understandings, having by reason of the ignorance which is deep-seated in them and the insensibility of their moral nature, no share in the Life which God gives.

wmth@Ephesians:4:19 @ Such men being past feeling have abandoned themselves to impurity, greedily indulging in every kind of profligacy.

wmth@Ephesians:4:21 @ if at least you have heard His voice and in Him have been taught –and this is true Christian teaching–

wmth@Ephesians:4:22 @ to put away, in regard to your former mode of life, your original evil nature which is doomed to perish as befits its misleading impulses,

wmth@Ephesians:4:24 @ with that new and better self which has been created to resemble God in the righteousness and holiness which come from the truth.

wmth@Ephesians:4:25 @ For this reason, laying aside falsehood, every one of you should speak the truth to his fellow man; for we are, as it were, parts of one another.

wmth@Ephesians:4:26 @ If angry, beware of sinning. Let not your irritation last until the sun goes down;

wmth@Ephesians:4:28 @ He who has been a thief must steal no more, but, instead of that, should work with his own hands in honest industry, so that he may have something of which he can give the needy a share.

wmth@Ephesians:4:29 @ Let no unwholesome words ever pass your lips, but let all your words be good for benefiting others according to the need of the moment, so that they may be a means of blessing to the hearers.

wmth@Ephesians:4:31 @ Let all bitterness and all passionate feeling, all anger and loud insulting language, be unknown among you–and also every kind of malice.

wmth@Ephesians:4:32 @ On the contrary learn to be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, just as God in Christ has also forgiven you.

wmth@Ephesians:5:1 @ Therefore be imitators of God, as His dear children.

wmth@Ephesians:5:2 @ And live and act lovingly, as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up to death on our behalf as an offering and sacrifice to God, yielding a fragrant odor.

wmth@Ephesians:5:5 @ For be well assured that no fornicator or immoral person and no money-grubber –or in other words idol-worshipper– has any share awaiting him in the Kingdom of Christ and of God.

wmth@Ephesians:5:8 @ There was a time when you were nothing but darkness. Now, as Christians, you are Light itself.

wmth@Ephesians:5:9 @ Live and act as sons of Light –for the effect of the Light is seen in every kind of goodness, uprightness and truth–

wmth@Ephesians:5:10 @ and learn in your own experiences what is fully pleasing to the Lord.

wmth@Ephesians:5:14 @ For this reason it is said, »Rise, sleeper; rise from among the dead, and Christ will shed light upon you.«

wmth@Ephesians:5:15 @ Therefore be very careful how you live and act. Let it not be as unwise men, but as wise.

wmth@Ephesians:5:18 @ Do not over-indulge in wine –a thing in which excess is so easy–

wmth@Ephesians:5:22 @ Married women, submit to your own husbands as if to the Lord;

wmth@Ephesians:5:23 @ because a husband is the Head of his wife as Christ also is the Head of the Church, being indeed the Saviour of this His Body.

wmth@Ephesians:5:24 @ And just as the Church submits to Christ, so also married women should be entirely submissive to their husbands.

wmth@Ephesians:5:25 @ Married men, love your wives, as Christ also loved the Church and gave Himself up to death for her;

wmth@Ephesians:5:28 @ So too married men ought to love their wives as much as they love themselves. He who loves his wife loves himself.

wmth@Ephesians:5:29 @ For never yet has a man hated his own body. On the contrary he feeds and cherishes it, just as Christ feeds and cherishes the Church;

wmth@Ephesians:5:30 @ because we are, as it were, parts of His Body.

wmth@Ephesians:5:33 @ Yet I insist that among you also, each man is to love his own wife as much as he loves himself, and let a married woman see to it that she treats her husband with respect.

wmth@Ephesians:6:1 @ Children, be obedient to your parents as a Christian duty, for it is a duty.

wmth@Ephesians:6:2 @ –this is the first Commandment which has a promise added to it–

wmth@Ephesians:6:5 @ Slaves, be obedient to your earthly masters, with respect and eager anxiety to please and with simplicity of motive as if you were obeying Christ.

wmth@Ephesians:6:6 @ Let it not be in acts of eye-service as if you had but to please men, but as Christ's bondservants who are doing God's will from the heart.

wmth@Ephesians:6:7 @ With right good will, be faithful to your duty as service rendered to the Lord and not to man.

wmth@Ephesians:6:9 @ And you masters, act towards your slaves on the same principles, and refrain from threats. For you know that in Heaven there is One who is your Master as well as theirs, and that merely earthly distinctions there are none with Him.

wmth@Ephesians:6:11 @ Put on the complete armour of God, so as to be able to stand firm against all the stratagems of the Devil.

wmth@Ephesians:6:14 @ Stand therefore, first fastening round you the girdle of truth and putting on the breastplate of uprightness

wmth@Ephesians:6:15 @ as well as the shoes of the Good News of peace– a firm foundation for your feet.

wmth@Ephesians:6:18 @ Pray with unceasing prayer and entreaty on every fitting occasion in the Spirit, and be always on the alert to seize opportunities for doing so, with unwearied persistence and entreaty on behalf of all God's people,

wmth@Ephesians:6:19 @ and ask on my behalf that words may be given to me so that, outspoken and fearless, I may make known the truths (hitherto kept secret) of the Good News–

wmth@Ephesians:6:20 @ to spread which I am an ambassador in chains–so that when telling them I may speak out boldly as I ought.

wmth@Philippians:1:1 @ Paul and Timothy, bondservants of Christ Jesus: To all God's people in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the ministers of the Church and their assistants.

wmth@Philippians:1:6 @ For of this I am confident, that He who has begun a good work within you will go on to perfect it in preparation for the day of Jesus Christ.

wmth@Philippians:1:7 @ And I am justified in having this confidence about you all, because, both during my imprisonment and when I stand up in defence of the Good News or to confirm its truth, I have you in my heart, sharers as you all are in the same grace as myself.

wmth@Philippians:1:12 @ Now I would have you know, brethren, that what I have gone through has turned out to the furtherance of the Good News rather than otherwise.

wmth@Philippians:1:13 @ And thus it has become notorious among all the Imperial Guards, and everywhere, that it is for the sake of Christ that I am a prisoner;

wmth@Philippians:1:18 @ What does it matter, however? In any case Christ is preached–either perversely or in honest truth; and in that I rejoice, yes, and will rejoice.

wmth@Philippians:1:20 @ in fulfilment of my eager expectation and hope that I shall never have reason to feel ashamed, but that by my perfect freedom of speech Christ will be glorified in me, now as always, either by my life or by my death.

wmth@Philippians:1:26 @ so that, as Christians, you may have additional reason for glorying about me as the result of my being with you again.

wmth@Philippians:1:27 @ Only let the lives you live be worthy of the Good News of the Christ, in order that, whether I come and see you or, being absent, only hear of you, I may know that you are standing fast in one spirit and with one mind, fighting shoulder to shoulder for the faith of the Good News.

wmth@Philippians:1:30 @ maintaining, as you do, the same kind of conflict that you once saw in me and which you still hear that I am engaged in.

wmth@Philippians:2:1 @ If then I can appeal to you as the followers of Christ, if there is any persuasive power in love and any common sharing of the Spirit, or if you have any tender-heartedness and compassion, make my joy complete by being of one mind,

wmth@Philippians:2:3 @ Do nothing in a spirit of factiousness or of vainglory, but, with true humility, let every one regard the rest as being of more account than himself;

wmth@Philippians:2:5 @ Let the same disposition be in you which was in Christ Jesus.

wmth@Philippians:2:6 @ Although from the beginning He had the nature of God He did not reckon His equality with God a treasure to be tightly grasped.

wmth@Philippians:2:8 @ And being recognized as truly human, He humbled Himself and even stooped to die; yes, to die on a cross.

wmth@Philippians:2:9 @ It is in consequence of this that God has also so highly exalted Him, and has conferred on Him the Name which is supreme above every other,

wmth@Philippians:2:12 @ Therefore, my dearly-loved friends, as I have always found you obedient, labour earnestly with fear and trembling –not merely as though I were present with you, but much more now since I am absent from you– labour earnestly, I say, to make sure of your own salvation.

wmth@Philippians:2:15 @ so that you may always prove yourselves to be blameless and spotless–irreproachable children of God in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you are seen as heavenly lights in the world,

wmth@Philippians:2:17 @ Nay, even if my life is to be poured as a libation upon the sacrificial offering of your faith, I rejoice, and I congratulate you all.

wmth@Philippians:2:22 @ But you know Timothy's approved worth–how, like a child working with his father, he has served with me in furtherance of the Good News.

wmth@Philippians:2:23 @ So it is he that I hope to send as soon as ever I see how things go with me;

wmth@Philippians:2:24 @ but trusting, as I do, in the Lord, I believe that I shall myself also come to you before long.

wmth@Philippians:2:25 @ Yet I deem it important to send Epaphroditus to you now–he is my brother and comrade both in labour and in arms, and is your messenger who has ministered to my needs.

wmth@Philippians:2:27 @ For it is true that he has been ill, and was apparently at the point of death; but God had pity on him, and not only on him, but also on me, to save me from having sorrow upon sorrow.

wmth@Philippians:2:30 @ because it was for the sake of Christ's work that he came so near death, hazarding, as he did, his very life in endeavouring to make good any deficiency that there might be in your gifts to me.

wmth@Philippians:3:1 @ In conclusion, my brethren, be joyful in the Lord. For me to give you the same warnings as before is not irksome to me, while so far as you are concerned it is a safe precaution.

wmth@Philippians:3:3 @ For we are the true circumcision–we who render to God a spiritual worship and make our boast in Christ Jesus and have no confidence in outward ceremonies:

wmth@Philippians:3:5 @ circumcised, as I was, on the eighth day, a member of the race of Israel and of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew sprung from Hebrews; as to the Law a Pharisee;

wmth@Philippians:3:6 @ as to zeal, a persecutor of the Church; as to the righteousness which comes through Law, blameless.

wmth@Philippians:3:7 @ Yet all that was gain to me–for Christ's sake I have reckoned it loss.

wmth@Philippians:3:8 @ Nay, I even reckon all things as pure loss because of the priceless privilege of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. And for His sake I have suffered the loss of everything, and reckon it all as mere refuse, in order that I may win Christ and be found in union with Him,

wmth@Philippians:3:10 @ I long to know Christ and the power which is in His resurrection, and to share in His sufferings and die even as He died;

wmth@Philippians:3:12 @ I do not say that I have already won the race or have already reached perfection. But I am pressing on, striving to lay hold of the prize for which also Christ has laid hold of me.

wmth@Philippians:3:13 @ Brethren, I do not imagine that I have yet laid hold of it. But this one thing I do–forgetting everything which is past and stretching forward to what lies in front of me,

wmth@Philippians:3:18 @ For there are many whom I have often described to you, and I now even with tears describe them, as being enemies to the Cross of Christ.

wmth@Philippians:3:21 @ who, in the exercise of the power which He has even to subject all things to Himself, will transform this body of our humiliation until it resembles His own glorious body.

wmth@Philippians:4:2 @ I entreat Euodia, and I entreat Syntyche, to be of one mind, as sisters in Christ.

wmth@Philippians:4:9 @ The doctrines and the line of conduct which I taught you –both what you heard and what you saw in me– hold fast to them; and God who gives peace will be with you.

wmth@Philippians:4:18 @ I have enough of everything –and more than enough. My wants are fully satisfied now that I have received from the hands of Epaphroditus the generous gifts which you sent me– they are a fragrant odor, an acceptable sacrifice, truly pleasing to God.

wmth@Colossians:1:3 @ We give thanks to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, constantly praying for you as we do,

wmth@Colossians:1:5 @ on account of the hope treasured up for you in Heaven. Of this hope you have already heard in the Message of the truth of the Good News.

wmth@Colossians:1:6 @ For it has reached you, and remains with you, just as it has also spread through the whole world, yielding fruit there and increasing, as it has done among you from the day when first you heard it and came really to know the grace of God,

wmth@Colossians:1:7 @ as you learned it from Epaphras our dearly-loved fellow servant. He is to you a faithful minister of Christ in our stead,

wmth@Colossians:1:8 @ and moreover he has informed us of your love, which is inspired by the Spirit.

wmth@Colossians:1:9 @ For this reason we also, from the day we first received these tidings, have never ceased to pray for you and to entreat that you may be filled with a clear knowledge of His will accompanied by thorough wisdom and discernment in spiritual things;

wmth@Colossians:1:10 @ so that your lives may be worthy of the Lord and perfectly pleasing to Him, while you exhibit the results of right action of every sort and grow into a fuller knowledge of God.

wmth@Colossians:1:12 @ and give thanks to the Father who has made us fit to receive our share of the inheritance of God's people in Light.

wmth@Colossians:1:13 @ It is God who has delivered us out of the dominion of darkness, and has transferred us into the Kingdom of His dearly-loved Son,

wmth@Colossians:1:16 @ For in Him was created the universe of things in heaven and on earth, things seen and things unseen, thrones, dominions, princedoms, powers–all were created, and exist through and for Him.

wmth@Colossians:1:19 @ For it was the Father's gracious will that the whole of the divine perfections should dwell in Him.

wmth@Colossians:1:20 @ And God purposed through Him to reconcile the universe to Himself, making peace through His blood, which was shed upon the Cross–to reconcile to Himself through Him, I say, things on earth and things in Heaven.

wmth@Colossians:1:21 @ And you, estranged as you once were and even hostile in your minds, amidst your evil deeds,

wmth@Colossians:1:22 @ He has now, in His human body, reconciled to God by His death, to bring you, holy and faultless and irreproachable, into His presence;

wmth@Colossians:1:23 @ if, indeed, you are still firmly holding to faith as your foundation, without ever shifting from your hope that rests on the Good News that you have heard, which has been proclaimed in the whole creation under Heaven, and in which I Paul have been appointed to serve.

wmth@Colossians:1:26 @ the truth which has been kept secret from all ages and generations, but has now been revealed to His people,

wmth@Colossians:1:27 @ to whom it was His will to make known how vast a wealth of glory for the Gentile world is implied in this truth–the truth that `Christ is in you, the hope of glory.'

wmth@Colossians:2:2 @ in order that their hearts may be cheered, they themselves being welded together in love and enjoying all the advantages of a reasonable certainty, till at last they attain the full knowledge of God's truth, which is Christ Himself.

wmth@Colossians:2:3 @ In Him all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are stored up, hidden from view.

wmth@Colossians:2:5 @ For although, as you say, I am absent from you in body, yet in spirit I am present with you and am delighted to witness your good discipline and the solid front presented by your faith in Christ.

wmth@Colossians:2:6 @ As therefore you have received the Christ, even Jesus our Lord, live and act in vital union with Him;

wmth@Colossians:2:7 @ having the roots of your being firmly planted in Him, and continually building yourselves up in Him, and always being increasingly confirmed in the faith as you were taught it, and abounding in it with thanksgiving.

wmth@Colossians:2:8 @ Take care lest there be some one who leads you away as prisoners by means of his philosophy and idle fancies, following human traditions and the world's crude notions instead of following Christ.

wmth@Colossians:2:13 @ And to you –dead as you once were in your transgressions and in the uncircumcision of your natural state– He has nevertheless given Life with Himself, having forgiven us all our transgressions.

wmth@Colossians:2:14 @ The bond, with its requirements, which was in force against us and was hostile to us, He cancelled, and cleared it out of the way, nailing it to His Cross.

wmth@Colossians:2:15 @ And the hostile princes and rulers He shook off from Himself, and boldly displayed them as His conquests, when by the Cross He triumphed over them.

wmth@Colossians:2:16 @ Therefore suffer no one to sit in judgement on you as to eating or drinking or with regard to a festival, a new moon or a sabbath.

wmth@Colossians:2:18 @ Let no one defraud you of your prize, priding himself on his humility and on his worship of the angels, and taking his stand on the visions he has seen, and idly puffed up with his unspiritual thoughts.

wmth@Colossians:2:20 @ If you have died with Christ and have escaped from the world's rudimentary notions, why, as though your life still belonged to the world, do you submit to such precepts as

wmth@Colossians:2:21 @ »Do not handle this;« »Do not taste that;«»Do not touch that other thing« –

wmth@Colossians:2:23 @ These rules have indeed an appearance of wisdom where self-imposed worship exists, and an affectation of humility and an ascetic severity. But not one of them is of any value in combating the indulgence of our lower natures.

wmth@Colossians:3:5 @ Therefore put to death your earthward inclinations–fornication, impurity, sensual passion, unholy desire, and all greed, for that is a form of idolatry.

wmth@Colossians:3:8 @ But now you must rid yourselves of every kind of sin –angry and passionate outbreaks, ill-will, evil speaking, foul-mouthed abuse– so that these may never soil your lips.

wmth@Colossians:3:10 @ and have clothed yourselves with the new self which is being remoulded into full knowledge so as to become like Him who created it.

wmth@Colossians:3:12 @ Clothe yourselves therefore, as God's own people holy and dearly loved, with tender-heartedness, kindness, lowliness of mind, meekness, long-suffering;

wmth@Colossians:3:13 @ bearing with one another and readily forgiving each other, if any one has a grievance against another. Just as the Lord has forgiven you, you also must forgive.

wmth@Colossians:3:15 @ and let the peace which Christ gives settle all questionings in your hearts, to which peace indeed you were called as belonging to His one Body; and be thankful.

wmth@Colossians:3:16 @ Let the teaching concerning Christ remain as a rich treasure in your hearts. In all wisdom teach and admonish one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, and sing with grace in your hearts to God.

wmth@Colossians:3:18 @ Married women, be submissive to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.

wmth@Colossians:3:21 @ Fathers, do not fret and harass your children, or you may make them sullen and morose.

wmth@Colossians:3:22 @ Slaves, be obedient in everything to your earthly masters; not in acts of eye service, as aiming only to please men, but with simplicity of purpose, because you fear the Lord.

wmth@Colossians:3:23 @ Whatever you are doing, let your hearts be in your work, as a thing done for the Lord and not for men.

wmth@Colossians:3:24 @ For you know that it is from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. Christ is the Master whose bondservants you are.

wmth@Colossians:4:1 @ Masters, deal justly and equitably with your slaves, knowing that you too have a Master in Heaven.

wmth@Colossians:4:4 @ Then I shall proclaim it fully, as it is my duty to do.

wmth@Colossians:4:6 @ Let your language be always seasoned with the salt of grace, so that you may know how to give every man a fitting answer.

wmth@Colossians:4:7 @ Tychicus, our much-loved brother, a trusty assistant and fellow servant with us in the Lord's work, will give you every information about me.

wmth@Colossians:4:10 @ Aristarchus my fellow prisoner sends greeting to you, and so does Barnabas's cousin Mark. You have received instructions as to him; if he comes to you, give him a welcome.

wmth@Colossians:4:12 @ Epaphras, who is one of yourselves, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, sends greetings to you, always wrestling on your behalf in his prayers, that you may stand firm–Christians of ripe character and of clear conviction as to everything which is God's will.

wmth@Colossians:4:14 @ Luke, the dearly-loved physician, salutes you, and so does Demas.

wmth@Colossians:4:15 @ Christian greetings to the brethren at Laodicea, especially to Nymphas, and to the Church that meets at their house.

wmth@Colossians:4:16 @ And when this Letter has been read among you, let it be read also in the Church of the Laodiceans, and you in turn must read the one I am sending to Laodicea.

wmth@Colossians:4:17 @ And tell Archippus to discharge carefully the duties devolving upon him as a servant of the Lord.

wmth@1Thessalonians:1:1 @ Paul, Silas, and Timothy: To the Church of the Thessalonians which is in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. May grace and peace be granted to you.

wmth@1Thessalonians:1:4 @ knowing as we do, brethren, that you are beloved by God and that He has chosen you.

wmth@1Thessalonians:1:5 @ The Good News that we brought you did not come to you in words only, but also with power and with the Holy Spirit and with much certainty, for you know the sort of men we became among you, as examples for your sakes.

wmth@1Thessalonians:1:6 @ And you followed the pattern set you by us and by the Master, after you had received the Message amid severe persecution, and yet with the joy which the Holy Spirit gives,

wmth@1Thessalonians:1:8 @ For it was not only from you that the Master's Message sounded forth throughout Macedonia and Greece; but everywhere your faith in God has become known, so that it is unnecessary for us to say anything about it.

wmth@1Thessalonians:2:2 @ But, as you will remember, after we had already met with suffering and outrage at Philippi, we summoned up boldness, by the help of our God, to tell you God's Good News amid much opposition.

wmth@1Thessalonians:2:3 @ For our preaching was not grounded on a delusion, nor prompted by mingled motives, nor was there fraud in it.

wmth@1Thessalonians:2:4 @ But as God tested and approved us before entrusting us with His Good News, so in what we say we are seeking not to please men but to please God, who tests and approves our motives.

wmth@1Thessalonians:2:5 @ For, as you are well aware, we have never used the language of flattery nor have we found pretexts for enriching ourselves–God is our witness;

wmth@1Thessalonians:2:6 @ nor did we seek glory either from you or from any other mere men, although we might have stood on our dignity as Christ's Apostles.

wmth@1Thessalonians:2:7 @ On the contrary, in our relations to you we showed ourselves as gentle as a mother is when she tenderly nurses her own children.

wmth@1Thessalonians:2:9 @ For you remember, brethren, our labour and toil: how, working night and day so as not to become a burden to any one of you, we came and proclaimed among you God's Good News.

wmth@1Thessalonians:2:11 @ For you know that we acted towards every one of you as a father does towards his own children, encouraging and cheering you,

wmth@1Thessalonians:2:13 @ And for this further reason we render unceasing thanks to God, that when you received God's Message from our lips, it was as no mere message from men that you embraced it, but as –what it really is– God's Message, which also does its work in the hearts of you who believe.

wmth@1Thessalonians:2:14 @ For you, brethren, followed the example of the Churches of God in Christ Jesus which are in Judaea; seeing that you endured the same ill-treatment at the hands of your countrymen, as they did at the hands of the Jews.

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

wmth@1Thessalonians:2:16 @ for they still try to prevent our preaching to the Gentiles so that they may find salvation. They thus continually fill up the measure of their own sins, and God's anger in its severest form has overtaken them.

wmth@1Thessalonians:2:18 @ On this account we wanted to come to you –at least I Paul wanted again and again to do so– but Satan hindered us.

wmth@1Thessalonians:2:19 @ For what is our hope or joy, or the crown of which we boast? Is it not you yourselves in the presence of our Lord Jesus at His Coming?

wmth@1Thessalonians:3:4 @ For even when we were with you, we forewarned you, saying, »We are soon to suffer affliction;« and this actually happened, as you well know.

wmth@1Thessalonians:3:5 @ For this reason I also, when I could no longer endure the uncertainty, sent to know the condition of your faith, lest perchance the Tempter might have tempted you and our labour have been lost.

wmth@1Thessalonians:3:6 @ But now that Timothy has recently come back to us from you, and has brought us the happy tidings of your faith and love, and has told us how you still cherish a constant and affectionate recollection of us, and are longing to see us as we also long to see you–

wmth@1Thessalonians:3:7 @ for this reason in our distress and trouble we have been comforted about you, brethren, by your faith.

wmth@1Thessalonians:3:8 @ For now life is for us life indeed, since you are standing fast in the Lord.

wmth@1Thessalonians:3:12 @ and as for you, may the Lord teach you to love one another and all men, with a growing and a glowing love, resembling our love for you.

wmth@1Thessalonians:4:1 @ Moreover, brethren, as you learnt from our lips the lives which you ought to live, and do live, so as to please God, we beg and exhort you in the name of the Lord Jesus to live them more and more truly.

wmth@1Thessalonians:4:5 @ that you be not overmastered by lustful cravings, like the Gentiles who have no knowledge of God;

wmth@1Thessalonians:4:6 @ and that in this matter there be no encroaching on the rights of a brother Christian and no overreaching him. For the Lord is an avenger in all such cases, as we have already taught you and solemnly warned you.

wmth@1Thessalonians:4:7 @ God has not called us to an unclean life, but to one of purity.

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

wmth@1Thessalonians:4:11 @ and to vie with one another in eagerness for peace, every one minding his own business and working with his hands, as we ordered you to do:

wmth@1Thessalonians:4:12 @ so as to live worthy lives in relation to outsiders, and not be a burden to any one.

wmth@1Thessalonians:4:13 @ Now, concerning those who from time to time pass away, we would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, lest you should mourn as others do who have no hope.

wmth@1Thessalonians:4:14 @ For if we believe that Jesus has died and risen again, we also believe that, through Jesus, God will bring with Him those who shall have passed away.

wmth@1Thessalonians:4:15 @ For this we declare to you on the Lord's own authority–that we who are alive and continue on earth until the Coming of the Lord, shall certainly not forestall those who shall have previously passed away.

wmth@1Thessalonians:5:1 @ But as to times and dates it is unnecessary that anything be written to you.

wmth@1Thessalonians:5:8 @ But let us, belonging –as we do– to the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation.

wmth@1Thessalonians:5:9 @ For God has not pre-destined us to meet His anger, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ;

wmth@1Thessalonians:5:11 @ Therefore encourage one another, and let each one help to strengthen his friend, as in fact you do.

wmth@1Thessalonians:5:17 @ Be unceasing in prayer.

wmth@2Thessalonians:1:1 @ Paul, Silas, and Timothy: To the Church of the Thessalonians which is in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

wmth@2Thessalonians:1:3 @ Unceasing thanks are due from us to God on your behalf, brethren. They are appropriate because your faith is growing greatly, and the love of every one of you for all the others goes on increasing.

wmth@2Thessalonians:1:4 @ It so increases that we ourselves make honourable mention of you among the Churches of God because of your patience and faith amid all your persecutions and amid the afflictions which you are enduring.

wmth@2Thessalonians:1:5 @ For these are a plain token of God's righteous judgement, which has in view your being deemed worthy of admission to God's Kingdom, for the sake of which, indeed, you are sufferers.

wmth@2Thessalonians:1:8 @ He will come in flames of fire to take vengeance on those who have no knowledge of God, and do not obey the Good News as to Jesus, our Lord.

wmth@2Thessalonians:1:11 @ It is with this view also that we continually pray to our God for you, asking that He will count you worthy of His call, and by His mighty power fully gratify your every desire for what is truly good and make your work of faith complete;

wmth@2Thessalonians:2:3 @ Let no one in any way deceive you, for that day cannot come without the coming of the apostasy first, and the appearing of the man of sin, the son of perdition, who sets himself against,

wmth@2Thessalonians:2:5 @ Do you not remember that while I was still with you I used to tell you all this?

wmth@2Thessalonians:2:11 @ And for this reason God sends them a misleading influence that they may believe the lie;

wmth@2Thessalonians:2:12 @ in order that all may come under judgement who have refused to believe the truth and have taken pleasure in unrighteousness.

wmth@2Thessalonians:2:13 @ And from us thanks are always due to God on your behalf –brethren whom the Lord loves– because God from the beginning has chosen you for salvation through the Spirit's sanctifying influence and your belief in the truth.

wmth@2Thessalonians:2:14 @ To this blessing God has called you by our Good News, so that you may have a share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

wmth@2Thessalonians:2:15 @ So then, brethren, stand your ground, and hold fast to the teachings which you have received from us, whether by word of mouth or by letter.

wmth@2Thessalonians:2:16 @ And may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself –and God our Father who has loved us and has given us in His grace eternal consolation and a bright hope–

wmth@2Thessalonians:2:17 @ comfort your hearts and make you stedfast in every good work and word.

wmth@2Thessalonians:3:1 @ Finally, brethren, pray for us, asking that the Lord's Message may be spread rapidly and its glory be displayed, as it was displayed among you;

wmth@2Thessalonians:3:2 @ and that we may be delivered from wrong-headed and wicked men; for it is not everybody who has faith.

wmth@2Thessalonians:3:3 @ But the Lord is faithful, and He will make you stedfast and will guard you from the Evil one.

wmth@2Thessalonians:3:7 @ For you yourselves know that it is your duty to follow our example. There was no disorder in our lives among you,

wmth@2Thessalonians:3:9 @ This was not because we had not a claim upon you, but it arose from a desire to set you an example–for you to imitate us.

wmth@2Thessalonians:3:14 @ and if any one refuses to obey these our written instructions, mark that man and hold no communication with him–so that he may be made to feel ashamed.

wmth@2Thessalonians:3:15 @ And yet do not regard him as an enemy, but caution him as a brother.

wmth@1Timothy:1:3 @ When I was on my journey to Macedonia I begged you to remain on in Ephesus that you might remonstrate with certain persons because of their erroneous teaching

wmth@1Timothy:1:4 @ and the attention they bestow on mere fables and endless pedigrees, such as lead to controversy rather than to a true stewardship for God, which only exists where there is faith. And I make the same request now.

wmth@1Timothy:1:7 @ They are ambitious to be teachers of the Law, although they do not understand either their own words or what the things are about which they make such confident assertions.

wmth@1Timothy:1:12 @ I am thankful to Him who made me strong –even Christ Jesus our Lord– because He has judged me to be faithful and has put me into His service,

wmth@1Timothy:1:13 @ though I was previously a blasphemer and a persecutor and had been insolent in outrage. Yet mercy was shown me, because I had acted ignorantly, not having as yet believed;

wmth@1Timothy:1:16 @ But mercy was shown me in order that in me as the foremost of sinners Christ Jesus might display the fulness of His long-suffering patience as an example to encourage those who would afterwards be resting their faith on Him with a view to the Life of the Ages.

wmth@1Timothy:1:18 @ This is the charge which I entrust to you, my son Timothy, in accordance with the inspired instructions concerning you which were given me long ago, that being equipped with them as your armour you may be continually fighting the good fight,

wmth@1Timothy:1:19 @ holding fast to faith and a clear conscience, which some have cast aside and have made shipwreck of their faith.

wmth@1Timothy:1:20 @ Among these are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have delivered to Satan so that they may be taught not to blaspheme.

wmth@1Timothy:2:3 @ This is right, and is pleasing in the sight of God our Saviour,

wmth@1Timothy:2:6 @ who gave Himself as the redemption price for all–a fact testified to at its own appointed time,

wmth@1Timothy:2:10 @ but –as befits women making a claim to godliness– with the ornament of good works.

wmth@1Timothy:2:13 @ For Adam was formed first, and then Eve;

wmth@1Timothy:2:14 @ and Adam was not deceived, but his wife was thoroughly deceived, and so became involved in transgression.

wmth@1Timothy:3:6 @ He ought not to be a new convert, for fear he should be blinded with pride and come under the same condemnation as the Devil.

wmth@1Timothy:3:8 @ Deacons, in the same way, must be men of serious demeanour, not double-tongued, nor addicted to much wine, nor greedy of base gain,

wmth@1Timothy:3:10 @ And they must also be well-tried men, and when found to be of unblemished character then let them serve as deacons.

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

wmth@1Timothy:4:2 @ through the hypocrisy of men who teach falsely and have their own consciences seared as with a hot iron;

wmth@1Timothy:4:3 @ forbidding people to marry, and insisting on abstinence from foods which God has created to be partaken of, with thankfulness, by those who believe and have a clear knowledge of the truth.

wmth@1Timothy:4:4 @ For everything that God has created is good, and nothing is to be cast aside, if only it is received with thanksgiving.

wmth@1Timothy:4:8 @ Train yourself in godliness. Exercise for the body is not useless, but godliness is useful in every respect, possessing, as it does, the promise of Life now and of the Life which is soon coming.

wmth@1Timothy:4:16 @ Be on your guard as to yourself and your teaching. Persevere in these things; for by doing this you will make certain your own salvation and that of your hearers.

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

wmth@1Timothy:5:2 @ the elder women too as mothers, and the younger women as sisters, with perfect modesty.

wmth@1Timothy:5:4 @ But if a widow has children or grandchildren, let these learn first to show piety towards their own homes and to prove their gratitude to their parents; for this is well pleasing in the sight of God.

wmth@1Timothy:5:5 @ A widow who is really in need, friendless and desolate, has her hopes fixed on God, and continues at her supplications and prayers, night and day;

wmth@1Timothy:5:6 @ but a pleasure-loving widow is dead even while still alive.

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

wmth@2Timothy:3:1 @ But of this be assured: in the last days grievous times will set in.

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

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

wmth@Titus:2:3 @ In the same way exhort aged women to let their conduct be such as becomes consecrated persons. They must not be slanderers nor enslaved to wine-drinking. They must be teachers of what is right.

wmth@Titus:2:8 @ and healthy language which no one can censure, so that our opponents may feel ashamed at having nothing evil to say against us.

wmth@Hebrews:1:2 @ has at the end of these days spoken to us through a Son, who is the pre-destined Lord of the universe, and through whom He made the Ages.

wmth@Hebrews:1:4 @ having become as far superior to the angels as the Name He possesses by inheritance is more excellent than theirs.

wmth@Hebrews:1:13 @ To which of the angels has He ever said,

wmth@Hebrews:2:1 @ For this reason we ought to pay the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, for fear we should drift away from them.

wmth@Hebrews:2:3 @ how shall escape if we are indifferent to a salvation as great as that now offered to us? This, after having first of all been announced by the Lord Himself, had its truth made sure to us by those who heard Him,

wmth@Hebrews:2:5 @ It is not to angels that God has assigned the sovereignty of that coming world, of which we speak.

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

wmth@Hebrews:2:7 @ Thou hast made him only a little inferior to the angels; with glory and honour Thou hast crowned him, and hast set him to govern the works of Thy hands.

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

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

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

wmth@Hebrews:2:11 @ For both He who sanctifies and those whom He is sanctifying have all one Father; and for this reason He is not ashamed to speak of them as His brothers;

wmth@Hebrews:2:12 @ as when He says:

wmth@Hebrews:2:16 @ For assuredly it is not to angels that He is continually reaching a helping hand, but it is to the descendants of Abraham.

wmth@Hebrews:2:17 @ And for this purpose it was necessary that in all respects He should be made to resemble His brothers, so that He might become a compassionate and faithful High Priest in things relating to God, in order to atone for the sins of the people.

wmth@Hebrews:2:18 @ For inasmuch as He has Himself felt the pain of temptation and trial, He is also able instantly to help those who are tempted and tried.

wmth@Hebrews:3:2 @ How faithful He was to Him who appointed Him, just as Moses also was faithful in all God's house!

wmth@Hebrews:3:3 @ For Jesus has been counted worthy of greater glory than Moses, in so far as he who has built a house has higher honour than the house itself.

wmth@Hebrews:3:4 @ For every house has had a builder, and the builder of all things is God.

wmth@Hebrews:3:5 @ Moreover, Moses was faithful in all God's house as a servant in delivering the message given him to speak;

wmth@Hebrews:3:6 @ but Christ was faithful as a Son having authority over God's house, and we are that house, if we hold firm to the End the boldness and the hope which we boast of as ours.

wmth@Hebrews:3:7 @ For this reason–as the Holy Spirit warns us, »To-day, if you hear His voice,

wmth@Hebrews:3:8 @ do not harden your hearts as your forefathers did in the time of the provocation on the day of the temptation in the Desert,

wmth@Hebrews:3:10 @ Therefore I was greatly grieved with that generation, and I said, `They are ever going astray in heart, and have not learnt to know My paths.'

wmth@Hebrews:3:11 @ As I swore in My anger, they shall not be admitted to My rest« –

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

wmth@Hebrews:3:13 @ On the contrary encourage one another, day after day, so long as To-day lasts, so that not one of you may be hardened through the deceitful character of sin.

wmth@Hebrews:3:16 @ For who were they that heard, and yet provoked God? Was it not the whole of the people who had come out of Egypt under the leadership of Moses?

wmth@Hebrews:3:17 @ And with whom was God so greatly grieved for forty years? Was it not with those who had sinned, and whose dead bodies fell in the Desert?

wmth@Hebrews:3:18 @ And to whom did He swear that they should not be admitted to His rest, if it was not to those who were disobedient?

wmth@Hebrews:3:19 @ And so we see that it was owing to lack of faith that they could not be admitted.

wmth@Hebrews:4:2 @ For Good News has been brought to us as truly as to them; but the message they heard failed to benefit them, because they were not one in faith with those who gave heed to it.

wmth@Hebrews:4:3 @ We who have believed are soon to be admitted to the true rest; as He has said, although God's works had been going on ever since the creation of the world.

wmth@Hebrews:4:4 @ For, as we know, when speaking of the seventh day He has used the words,

wmth@Hebrews:4:5 @ and He has also declared,

wmth@Hebrews:4:10 @ For He who has been admitted to His rest, has rested from His works as God did from His.

wmth@Hebrews:4:14 @ Inasmuch, then, as we have in Jesus, the Son of God, a great High Priest who has passed into Heaven itself, let us hold firmly to our profession of faith.

wmth@Hebrews:4:15 @ For we have not a High Priest who is unable to feel for us in our weaknesses, but one who was tempted in every respect just as we are tempted, and yet did not sin.

wmth@Hebrews:5:3 @ And for this reason he is required to offer sin-offerings not only for the people but also for himself.

wmth@Hebrews:5:4 @ And no one takes this honourable office upon himself, but only accepts it when called to it by God, as Aaron was.

wmth@Hebrews:5:5 @ So Christ also did not claim for Himself the honour of being made High Priest, but was appointed to it by Him who said to Him,

wmth@Hebrews:5:6 @ as also in another passage He says,

wmth@Hebrews:5:7 @ For Jesus during his earthly life offered up prayers and entreaties, crying aloud and weeping as He pleaded with Him who was able to bring Him in safety out of death, and He was delivered from the terror from which He shrank.

wmth@Hebrews:5:8 @ Although He was God's Son, yet He learned obedience from the sufferings which He endured;

wmth@Hebrews:5:10 @ For God Himself addresses Him as a High Priest for ever, belonging to the order of Melchizedek.

wmth@Hebrews:6:2 @ or of teaching about ceremonial washings, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and the last judgement.

wmth@Hebrews:6:4 @ For it is impossible, in the case of those who have once for all been enlightened, and have tasted the sweetness of the heavenly gift, and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit,

wmth@Hebrews:6:7 @ For land which has drunk in the rain that often falls upon it, and brings forth vegetation useful to those for whose sakes, indeed, it is tilled, has a share in God's blessing.

wmth@Hebrews:6:8 @ But if it only yields a mass of thorns and briers, it is considered worthless, and is in danger of being cursed, and in the end will be destroyed by fire.

wmth@Hebrews:6:15 @ And so, as the result of patient waiting, our forefather obtained what God had promised.

wmth@Hebrews:6:17 @ In the same way, since it was God's desire to display more convincingly to the heirs of the promise how unchangeable His purpose was,

wmth@Hebrews:6:18 @ He added an oath, in order that, through two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for Him to prove false, we may possess mighty encouragement–we who, for safety, have hastened to lay hold of the hope set before us.

wmth@Hebrews:6:19 @ That hope we have as an anchor of the soul–an anchor that can neither break nor drag. It passes in behind the veil,

wmth@Hebrews:6:20 @ where Jesus has entered as a forerunner on our behalf, having become, like Melchizedek, a High Priest for ever.

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

wmth@Hebrews:7:2 @ to whom also Abraham presented a tenth part of all–being first, as his name signifies, King of righteousness, and secondly King of Salem, that is, King of peace:

wmth@Hebrews:7:10 @ for Levi was yet in the loins of his forefather when Melchizedek met Abraham.

wmth@Hebrews:7:11 @ Now if the crowning blessing was attainable by means of the Levitical priesthood –for as resting on this foundation the people received the Law, to which they are still subject– what further need was there for a Priest of a different kind to be raised up belonging to the order of Melchizedek instead of being said to belong to the order of Aaron?

wmth@Hebrews:7:13 @ He, however, to whom that prophecy refers is associated with a different tribe, not one member of which has anything to do with the altar.

wmth@Hebrews:7:15 @ And this is still more abundantly clear when we read that it is as belonging to the order of Melchizedek that a priest of a different kind is to arise,

wmth@Hebrews:7:18 @ On the one hand we have here the abrogation of an earlier code because it was weak and ineffective–

wmth@Hebrews:7:20 @ And since it was not without an oath being taken–

wmth@Hebrews:7:21 @ for these men hold office without any oath having been taken, but He holds it attested by an oath from Him who said to Him, »The Lord has sworn and will not recall His words, Thou art a Priest for ever« –

wmth@Hebrews:7:22 @ so much the more also is the Covenant of which Jesus has become the guarantor, a better covenant.

wmth@Hebrews:7:24 @ but He, because He continues for ever, has a priesthood which does not pass to any successor.

wmth@Hebrews:7:26 @ Moreover we needed just such a High Priest as this–holy, guileless, undefiled, far removed from sinful men and exalted above the heavens;

wmth@Hebrews:7:28 @ For the Law constitutes men High Priests –men with all their infirmity– but the utterance of the oath, which came later than the Law, constitutes High Priest a Son who has been made for ever perfect.

wmth@Hebrews:8:1 @ Now in connexion with what we have been saying the chief point is that we have a High Priest who has taken His seat at the right hand of the throne of God's Majesty in the heavens,

wmth@Hebrews:8:5 @ and serve a copy and type of the heavenly things, just as Moses was divinely instructed when about to build the tabernacle. For God said,

wmth@Hebrews:8:6 @ But, as a matter of fact, the ministry which Christ has obtained is all the nobler a ministry, in that He is at the same time the negotiator of a sublimer covenant, based upon sublimer promises.

wmth@Hebrews:8:13 @ By using the words, »a new Covenant,« He has made the first one obsolete; but whatever is decaying and showing signs of old age is not far from disappearing altogether.

wmth@Hebrews:9:2 @ For a sacred tent was constructed–the outer one, in which were the lamp and the table and the presented loaves; and this is called the Holy place.

wmth@Hebrews:9:3 @ And behind the second veil was a sacred tent called the Holy of holies.

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

wmth@Hebrews:9:8 @ And the lesson which the Holy Spirit teaches is this–that the way into the true Holy place is not yet open so long as the outer tent still remains in existence.

wmth@Hebrews:9:10 @ For their efficacy depends only on meats and drinks and various washings, ceremonies pertaining to the body and imposed until a time of reformation.

wmth@Hebrews:9:11 @ But Christ appeared as a High Priest of the blessings that are soon to come by means of the greater and more perfect Tent of worship, a tent which has not been built with hands –that is to say does not belong to this material creation–

wmth@Hebrews:9:13 @ For if the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have contracted defilement make them holy so as to bring about ceremonial purity,

wmth@Hebrews:9:15 @ And because of this He is the negotiator of a new Covenant, in order that, since a life has been given in atonement for the offences committed under the first Covenant, those who have been called may receive the eternal inheritance which has been promised to them.

wmth@Hebrews:9:17 @ And a will is only of force in the case of a deceased person, being never of any avail so long as he who made it lives.

wmth@Hebrews:9:18 @ Accordingly we find that the first Covenant was not inaugurated without blood.

wmth@Hebrews:9:23 @ It was needful therefore that the copies of the things in Heaven should be cleansed in this way, but that the heavenly things themselves should be cleansed with more costly sacrifices.

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

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

wmth@Hebrews:10:2 @ For then would not the sacrifices have ceased to be offered, because the consciences of the worshippers –who in that case would now have been cleansed once for all– would no longer be burdened with sins?

wmth@Hebrews:10:10 @ It is through that divine will that we have been set free from sin, through the offering of Jesus Christ as our sacrifice once for all.

wmth@Hebrews:10:13 @ waiting from that time onward until His enemies be put as a footstool under His feet.

wmth@Hebrews:10:14 @ For by a single offering He has for ever completed the blessing for those whom He is setting free from sin.

wmth@Hebrews:10:21 @ and since we have a great Priest who has authority over the house of God,

wmth@Hebrews:10:25 @ not neglecting –as some habitually do– to meet together, but encouraging one another, and doing this all the more since you can see the day of Christ approaching.

wmth@Hebrews:10:29 @ How much severer punishment, think you, will he be held to deserve who has trampled under foot the Son of God, has not regarded as holy that Covenant-blood with which he was set free from sin, and has insulted the Spirit from whom comes grace?

wmth@Hebrews:10:30 @ For we know who it is that has said, and again,

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

wmth@Hebrews:10:33 @ This was partly through allowing yourselves to be made a public spectacle amid reproaches and persecutions, and partly through coming forward to share the sufferings of those who were thus treated.

wmth@Hebrews:10:34 @ For you not only showed sympathy with those who were imprisoned, but you even submitted with joy when your property was taken from you, being well aware that you have in your own selves a more valuable possession and one which will remain.

wmth@Hebrews:10:35 @ Therefore do not cast from you your confident hope, for it will receive a vast reward.

wmth@Hebrews:10:36 @ For you stand in need of patient endurance, so that, as the result of having done the will of God, you may receive the promised blessing.

wmth@Hebrews:11:1 @ Now faith is a well-grounded assurance of that for which we hope, and a conviction of the reality of things which we do not see.

wmth@Hebrews:11:4 @ Through faith Abel offered to God a more acceptable sacrifice than Cain did, and through this faith he obtained testimony that he was righteous, God giving the testimony by accepting his gifts; and through it, though he is dead, he still speaks.

wmth@Hebrews:11:5 @ Through faith Enoch was taken from the earth so that he did not see death, and he could not be found, because God had taken him; for before he was taken we have evidence that he truly pleased God.

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

wmth@Hebrews:11:7 @ Through faith Noah, being divinely taught about things as yet unseen, reverently gave heed and built an ark for the safety of his family, and by this act he condemned the world, and became an heir of the righteousness which depends on faith.

wmth@Hebrews:11:8 @ Through faith Abraham, upon being called to leave home and go into a land which he was soon to receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing where he was going to.

wmth@Hebrews:11:9 @ Through faith he came and made his home for a time in a land which had been promised to him, as if in a foreign country, living in tents together with Isaac and Jacob, sharers with him in the same promise;

wmth@Hebrews:11:10 @ for he continually looked forward to the city which has the foundations, whose architect and builder is God.

wmth@Hebrews:11:11 @ Through faith even Sarah herself received strength to become a mother –although she was past the time of life for this– because she judged Him faithful who had given the promise.

wmth@Hebrews:11:16 @ but, as it is, we see them eager for a better land, that is to say, a heavenly one. For this reason God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has now prepared a city for them.

wmth@Hebrews:11:17 @ Through faith Abraham, as soon as God put him to the test, offered up Isaac. Yes, he who had joyfully welcomed the promises was on the point of sacrificing his only son

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

wmth@Hebrews:11:22 @ Through faith Joseph, when he was near his end, made mention of the departure of the descendants of Israel, and gave orders about his own body.

wmth@Hebrews:11:23 @ Through faith the child Moses was hid for three months by his parents, because they saw his rare beauty; and the king's edict had no terror for them.

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

wmth@Hebrews:11:25 @ having determined to endure ill-treatment along with the people of God rather than enjoy the short-lived pleasures of sin;

wmth@Hebrews:11:26 @ because he deemed the reproaches which he might meet with in the service of the Christ to be greater riches than all the treasures of Egypt; for he fixed his gaze on the coming reward.

wmth@Hebrews:11:27 @ Through faith he left Egypt, not being frightened by the king's anger; for he held on his course as seeing the unseen One.

wmth@Hebrews:11:28 @ Through faith he instituted the Passover, and the sprinkling with blood so that the destroyer of the firstborn might not touch the Israelites.

wmth@Hebrews:11:29 @ Through faith they passed through the Red Sea as though they were passing over dry land, but the Egyptians, when they tried to do the same, were swallowed up.

wmth@Hebrews:11:33 @ men who, as the result of faith, conquered whole kingdoms, brought about true justice, obtained promises from God, stopped lions' mouths,

wmth@Hebrews:11:37 @ They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, they were tried by temptation, they were killed with the sword. They went from place to place in sheepskins or goatskins, enduring want, oppression and cruelty.

wmth@Hebrews:11:38 @ (They were men of whom the world was not worthy.) They wandered across deserts and mountains, or hid themselves in caves and in holes in the ground.

wmth@Hebrews:12:1 @ Therefore, surrounded as we are by such a vast cloud of witnesses, let us fling aside every encumbrance and the sin that so readily entangles our feet. And let us run with patient endurance the race that lies before us,

wmth@Hebrews:12:4 @ In your struggle against sin you have not yet resisted so as to endanger your lives;

wmth@Hebrews:12:5 @ and you have quite forgotten the encouraging words which are addressed to you as sons, and which say,

wmth@Hebrews:12:7 @ The sufferings that you are enduring are for your discipline. God is dealing with you as sons; for what son is there whom his father does not discipline?

wmth@Hebrews:12:8 @ And if you are left without discipline, of which every true son has had a share, that shows that you are bastards, and not true sons.

wmth@Hebrews:12:10 @ It is true that they disciplined us for a few years according as they thought fit; but He does it for our certain good, in order that we may become sharers in His own holy character.

wmth@Hebrews:12:11 @ Now, at the time, discipline seems to be a matter not for joy, but for grief; yet it afterwards yields to those who have passed through its training a result full of peace–namely, righteousness.

wmth@Hebrews:12:17 @ For you know that even afterwards, when he wished to secure the blessing, he was rejected; for he found no opportunity for undoing what he had done, though he sought the blessing earnestly with tears.

wmth@Hebrews:12:18 @ For you have not come to a material object all ablaze with fire, and to gloom and darkness and storm and trumpet-blast and the sound of words–

wmth@Hebrews:12:21 @ and so terrible was the scene that Moses said,

wmth@Hebrews:12:28 @ Therefore, receiving, as we now do, a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us cherish thankfulness so that we may ever offer to God an acceptable service, with godly reverence and awe.

wmth@Hebrews:13:2 @ Do not neglect to show kindness to strangers; for, in this way, some, without knowing it, have had angels as their guests.

wmth@Hebrews:13:3 @ Remember prisoners, as if you were in prison with them; and remember those suffering ill-treatment, for you yourselves also are still in the body.

wmth@Hebrews:13:5 @ Your lives should be untainted by love for money. Be content with what you have; for God Himself has said,

wmth@Hebrews:13:7 @ Remember your former leaders–it was they who brought you God's Message. Bear in mind how they ended their lives, and imitate their faith.

wmth@Hebrews:13:9 @ Do not be drawn aside by all sorts of strange teaching; for it is well to have the heart made stedfast through God's grace, and not by special kinds of food, from which those who scrupulously attend to them have derived no benefit.

wmth@Hebrews:13:11 @ For the bodies of those animals of which the blood is carried by the High Priest into the Holy place as an offering for sin, are burned outside the camp.

wmth@Hebrews:13:12 @ And for this reason Jesus also, in order, by His own blood, to set the people free from sin, suffered outside the gate.

wmth@Hebrews:13:16 @ And do not forget to be kind and liberal; for with sacrifices of that sort God is greatly pleased.

wmth@Hebrews:13:17 @ Obey your leaders and be submissive to them. For they are keeping watch over your souls as those who will have to give account; that they may do this with joy and not with lamentation. For that would be of no advantage to you.

wmth@Hebrews:13:21 @ fully equip you with every grace that you may need for the doing of His will, producing in us that which will truly please Him through Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory to the Ages of the Ages! Amen.

wmth@Hebrews:13:23 @ You will rejoice to hear that our brother Timothy has been set at liberty. If he comes soon, I will see you with him.

wmth@James:1:3 @ Be assured that the testing of your faith leads to power of endurance.

wmth@James:1:5 @ And if any one of you is deficient in wisdom, let him ask God for it, who gives with open hand to all men, and without upbraiding; and it will be given him.

wmth@James:1:6 @ But let him ask in faith and have no doubts; for he who has doubts is like the surge of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed into spray.

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

wmth@James:1:12 @ Blessed is he who patiently endures trials; for when he has stood the test, he will gain the victor's crown –even the crown of Life– which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.

wmth@James:1:13 @ Let no one say when passing through trial, »My temptation is from God;« for God is incapable of being tempted to do evil, and He Himself tempts no one.

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

wmth@James:1:15 @ Then the passion conceives, and becomes the parent of sin; and sin, when fully matured, gives birth to death.

wmth@James:1:18 @ In accordance with His will He made us His children through the Message of the truth, so that we might, in a sense, be the Firstfruits of the things which He has created.

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

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

wmth@James:1:25 @ But he who looks closely into the perfect Law –the Law of freedom– and continues looking, he, being not a hearer who forgets, but an obedient doer, will as the result of his obedience be blessed.

wmth@James:2:5 @ Listen, my dearly-loved brethren. Has not God chosen those whom the world regards as poor to be rich in faith and heirs of the Kingdom which He has promised to those that love Him?

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

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

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

wmth@James:2:12 @ Speak and act as those should who are expecting to be judged by the Law of freedom.

wmth@James:2:17 @ So also faith, if it is unaccompanied by obedience, has no life in it–so long as it stands alone.

wmth@James:2:20 @ But, idle boaster, are you willing to be taught how it is that faith apart from obedience is worthless? Take the case of Abraham our forefather.

wmth@James:2:21 @ Was it, or was it not, because of his actions that he was declared to be righteous as the result of his having offered up his son Isaac upon the altar?

wmth@James:2:22 @ You notice that his faith was co-operating with his actions, and that by his actions his faith was perfected;

wmth@James:2:23 @ and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, and he received the name of `God's friend.'

wmth@James:2:25 @ In the same way also was not the notorious sinner Rahab declared to be righteous because of her actions when she welcomed the spies and hurriedly helped them to escape another way?

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

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

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

wmth@James:3:5 @ In the same way the tongue is an insignificant part of the body, but it is immensely boastful. Remember how a mere spark may set a vast forest in flames.

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

wmth@James:3:14 @ But if in your hearts you have bitter feelings of envy and rivalry, do not speak boastfully and falsely, in defiance of the truth.

wmth@James:3:17 @ The wisdom from above is first of all pure, then peaceful, courteous, not self-willed, full of compassion and kind actions, free from favouritism and from all insincerity.

wmth@James:4:1 @ What causes wars and contentions among you? Is it not the cravings which are ever at war within you for various pleasures?

wmth@James:4:2 @ You covet things and yet cannot get them; you commit murder; you have passionate desires and yet cannot gain your end; you begin to fight and make war. You have not, because you do not pray;

wmth@James:4:3 @ or you pray and yet do not receive, because you pray wrongly, your object being to waste what you get on some pleasure or another.

wmth@James:4:5 @ Or do you suppose that it is to no purpose that the Scripture says, »The Spirit which He has caused to dwell in our hearts yearns jealously over us«?

wmth@James:4:6 @ But He gives more abundant grace, as is implied in His saying,

wmth@James:4:16 @ But, as the case stands, it is in mere self-confidence that you boast: all such boasting is evil.

wmth@James:5:2 @ Your treasures have rotted, and your piles of clothing are moth-eaten;

wmth@James:5:3 @ your gold and your silver have become covered with rust, and the rust on them will give evidence against you, and will eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded up wealth in these last days.

wmth@James:5:5 @ Here on earth you have lived self-indulgent and profligate lives. You have stupefied yourselves with gross feeding; but a day of slaughter has come.

wmth@James:5:7 @ Be patient therefore, brethren, until the Coming of the Lord. Notice how eagerly a farmer waits for a valuable crop! He is patient over it till it has received the early and the later rain.

wmth@James:5:10 @ In illustration, brethren, of persecution patiently endured take the Prophets who have spoken as messengers from the Lord.

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

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

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

wmth@1Peter:1:3 @ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who in His great mercy has begotten us anew to an ever-living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

wmth@1Peter:1:4 @ to an inheritance imperishable, undefiled and unfading, which has been reserved in Heaven for you,

wmth@1Peter:1:9 @ while you are securing as the outcome of your faith the salvation of your souls.

wmth@1Peter:1:10 @ There were Prophets who earnestly inquired about that salvation, and closely searched into it–even those who spoke beforehand of the grace which was to come to you.

wmth@1Peter:1:12 @ To them it was revealed that they were serving not themselves but you, when they foretold the very things which have now been openly declared to you by those who, having been taught by the Holy Spirit which had been sent from Heaven, brought you the Good News. Angels long to stoop and look into these things.

wmth@1Peter:1:15 @ but –in imitation of the holy One who has called you– you also must be holy in all your habits of life.

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

wmth@1Peter:1:18 @ knowing, as you do, that it was not with a ransom of perishable wealth, such as silver or gold, that you were set free from your frivolous habits of life which had been handed down to you from your forefathers,

wmth@1Peter:1:19 @ but with the precious blood of Christ–as of an unblemished and spotless lamb.

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

wmth@1Peter:1:25 @ And that means the Message which has been proclaimed among you in the Good News.

wmth@1Peter:2:4 @ Come to Him, the ever-living Stone, rejected indeed by men as worthless, but in God's esteem chosen and held in honour.

wmth@1Peter:2:11 @ Dear friends, I entreat you as pilgrims and foreigners not to indulge the cravings of your lower natures: for all such cravings wage war upon the soul.

wmth@1Peter:2:12 @ Live honourable lives among the Gentiles, in order that, although they now speak against you as evil-doers, they may yet witness your good conduct, and may glorify God on the day of reward and retribution.

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

wmth@1Peter:2:14 @ or to provincial Governors as sent by him for the punishment of evil-doers and the encouragement of those who do what is right.

wmth@1Peter:2:16 @ Be free men, and yet do not make your freedom an excuse for base conduct, but be God's bondservants.

wmth@1Peter:2:18 @ Household servants, be submissive to your masters, and show them the utmost respect–not only if they are kind and thoughtful, but also if they are unreasonable.

wmth@1Peter:2:22 @ He never sinned, and no deceitful language was ever heard from His mouth.

wmth@1Peter:2:23 @ When He was reviled, He did not answer with reviling; when He suffered He uttered no threats, but left His wrongs in the hands of the righteous Judge.

wmth@1Peter:2:24 @ The burden of our sins He Himself carried in His own body to the Cross and bore it there, so that we, having died so far as our sins are concerned, may live righteous lives. By His wounds yours have been healed.

wmth@1Peter:3:5 @ For in ancient times also this was the way the holy women who set their hopes upon God used to adorn themselves, being submissive to their husbands.

wmth@1Peter:3:15 @ but in your hearts consecrate Christ as Lord, being always ready to make your defence to any one who asks from you a reason for the hope which you cherish.

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

wmth@1Peter:3:20 @ who in ancient times had been disobedient, while God's longsuffering was patiently waiting in the days of Noah during the building of the Ark, in which a few persons –eight in number– were brought safely through the water.

wmth@1Peter:3:21 @ And, corresponding to that figure, the water of baptism now saves you –not the washing off of material defilement, but the craving of a good conscience after God– through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

wmth@1Peter:4:1 @ Since, then, Christ has suffered in the flesh, you also must arm yourselves with a determination to do the same –because he who has suffered in the flesh has done with sin–

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

wmth@1Peter:4:3 @ For you have given time enough in the past to the doing of the things which the Gentiles delight in– pursuing, as you did, a course of habitual licence, debauchery, hard drinking, noisy revelry, drunkenness and unholy image-worship.

wmth@1Peter:4:4 @ At this they are astonished–that you do not run into the same excess of profligacy as they do; and they speak abusively of you.

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

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

wmth@1Peter:4:11 @ If any one preaches, let it be as uttering God's truth; if any one renders a service to others, let it be in the strength which God supplies; so that in everything glory may be given to God in the name of Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the might to the Ages of the Ages. Amen.

wmth@1Peter:4:12 @ Dear friends, do not be surprised at finding that that scorching flame of persecution is raging among you to put you to the test–as though some surprising thing were accidentally happening to you.

wmth@1Peter:4:14 @ You are to be envied, if you are being reproached for bearing the name of Christ; for in that case the Spirit of glory – even the Spirit of God– is resting upon you.

wmth@1Peter:4:15 @ But let not one of you suffer as a murderer or a thief or an evil-doer, or as a spy upon other people's business.

wmth@1Peter:4:16 @ If, however, any one suffers because he is a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God for being permitted to bear that name.

wmth@1Peter:4:17 @ For the time has come for judgement to begin, and to begin at the house of God; and if it begins with us, what will be the end of those who reject God's Good News?

wmth@1Peter:5:2 @ Be shepherds of God's flock which is among you. Exercise the oversight not reluctantly but eagerly, in accordance with the will of God; not for base gain but with cheerful minds;

wmth@1Peter:5:8 @ Curb every passion, and be on the alert. Your great accuser, the Devil, is going about like a roaring lion to see whom he can devour.

wmth@1Peter:5:9 @ Withstand him, firm in your faith; knowing that your brethren in other parts of the world are passing through just the same experiences.

wmth@1Peter:5:10 @ And God, the giver of all grace, who has called you to share His eternal glory, through Christ, after you have suffered for a short time, will Himself make you perfect, firm, and strong.

wmth@1Peter:5:12 @ I send this short letter by Silas, our faithful brother –for such I regard him– in order to encourage you, and to bear witness that what I have told you is the true grace of God. In it stand fast.

wmth@2Peter:1:1 @ Simon Peter, a bondservant and Apostle of Jesus Christ: To those to whom there has been allotted the same precious faith as that which is ours through the righteousness of our God and of our Saviour Jesus Christ.

wmth@2Peter:1:3 @ seeing that His divine power has given us all things that are needful for life and godliness, through our knowledge of Him who has appealed to us by His own glorious perfections.

wmth@2Peter:1:4 @ It is by means of these that He has granted us His precious and wondrous promises, in order that through them you may, one and all, become sharers in the very nature of God, having completely escaped the corruption which exists in the world through earthly cravings.

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

wmth@2Peter:1:8 @ If these things exist in you, and continually increase, they prevent your being either idle or unfruitful in advancing towards a full knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

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

wmth@2Peter:1:10 @ For this reason, brethren, be all the more in earnest to make sure that God has called you and chosen you; for it is certain that so long as you practise these things, you will never stumble.

wmth@2Peter:1:12 @ For this reason I shall always persist in reminding you of these things, although you know them and are stedfast believers in truth which you already possess.

wmth@2Peter:1:13 @ But I think it right, so long as I remain in the body, my present dwelling-place, to arouse you by such reminders.

wmth@2Peter:1:14 @ For I know that the time for me to lay aside my body is now rapidly drawing near, even as our Lord Jesus Christ has revealed to me.

wmth@2Peter:1:15 @ So on every possible occasion I will also do my best to enable you to recall these things after my departure.

wmth@2Peter:1:17 @ He received honour and glory from God the Father, and out of the wondrous glory words such as these were spoken to Him, »This is My dearly-loved Son, in whom I take delight.«

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

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

wmth@2Peter:2:1 @ But there were also false prophets among the people, as there will be teachers of falsehood among you also, who will cunningly introduce fatal divisions, disowning even the Sovereign Lord who has redeemed them, and bringing on themselves swift destruction.

wmth@2Peter:2:3 @ Thirsting for riches, they will trade on you with their canting talk. From of old their judgement has been working itself out, and their destruction has not been slumbering.

wmth@2Peter:2:6 @ He reduced to ashes the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, and condemned them to overthrow, making them an example to people who might in future be living godless lives.

wmth@2Peter:2:7 @ But when righteous Lot was sore distressed by the gross misconduct of immoral men He rescued him.

wmth@2Peter:2:10 @ and especially those who are abandoned to sensuality–craving, as they do, for polluted things, and scorning control. Fool-hardy and self-willed, they do not tremble when speaking evil of glorious beings;

wmth@2Peter:2:12 @ But these men, like brute beasts, created (with their natural instincts) only to be captured or destroyed, are abusive in matters of which they are ignorant, and in their corruption will perish,

wmth@2Peter:2:13 @ being doomed to receive a requital for their guilt. They reckon it pleasure to feast daintily in broad daylight. They are spots and blemishes, while feeding luxuriously at their love-feasts, and banqueting with you.

wmth@2Peter:2:14 @ Their very eyes are full of adultery–being eyes which never cease from sin. These men set traps to catch unstedfast souls, their own hearts being well trained in greed. They are fore-doomed to God's curse!

wmth@2Peter:2:15 @ Forsaking the straight road, they have gone astray, having eagerly followed in the steps of Balaam, the son of Beor, who was bent on securing the wages of unrighteousness.

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

wmth@2Peter:2:17 @ These people are wells without water, mists driven along by a storm, men for whom the dense darkness has been reserved.

wmth@2Peter:2:18 @ For, while they pour out their frivolous and arrogant talk, they use earthly cravings –every kind of immorality– as a bait to entrap men who are just escaping from the influence of those who live in error.

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

wmth@2Peter:2:20 @ For if, after escaping from the pollutions of the world through a full knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, people are once more entangled in these pollutions and are overcome, their last state has become worse than their first.

wmth@2Peter:2:22 @ Their case is that described in the true proverb, and also in the other proverb, »The sow has washed itself and now goes back to roll in its filth.«

wmth@2Peter:3:3 @ But, above all, remember that, in the last days, men will come who make a mock at everything–men governed only by their own passions,

wmth@2Peter:3:4 @ and, asking, »What has become of His promised Return? For from the time our forefathers fell asleep all things continue as they have been ever since the creation of the world.«

wmth@2Peter:3:6 @ and that, by means of these, the then existing race of men was overwhelmed with water and perished.

wmth@2Peter:3:10 @ The day of the Lord will come like a thief–it will be a day on which the heavens will pass away with a rushing noise, the elements be destroyed in the fierce heat, and the earth and all the works of man be utterly burnt up.

wmth@2Peter:3:12 @ eagerly looking forward to the coming of the day of God, by reason of which the heavens, all ablaze, will be destroyed, and the elements will melt in the fierce heat?

wmth@2Peter:3:15 @ And always regard the patient forbearance of our Lord as salvation, as our dear brother Paul also has written to you in virtue of the wisdom granted to him.

wmth@2Peter:3:16 @ That is what he says in all his letters, when speaking in them of these things. In those letters there are some statements hard to understand, which ill-taught and unprincipled people pervert, just as they do the rest of the Scriptures, to their own ruin.

wmth@2Peter:3:17 @ You, therefore, dear friends, having been warned beforehand, must continually be on your guard so as not to be led astray by the false teaching of immoral men nor fall from your own stedfastness.

wmth@1John:1:1 @ That which was from the beginning, which we have listened to, which we have seen with our own eyes, and our own hands have handled concerning the Word of Life–

wmth@1John:1:2 @ the Life was manifested, and we have seen and bear witness, and we declare unto you the Life of the Ages which was with the Father and was manifested to us–

wmth@1John:1:7 @ But if we live in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, cleanses us from all sin.

wmth@1John:1:8 @ If we claim to be already free from sin, we lead ourselves astray and the truth has no place in our hearts.

wmth@1John:1:10 @ If we deny that we have sinned, we make Him a liar, and His Message has no place in our hearts.

wmth@1John:2:4 @ He who professes to know Him, and yet does not obey His commands, is a liar, and the truth has no place in his heart.

wmth@1John:2:5 @ But whoever obeys His Message, in him love for God has in very deed reached perfection. By this we can know that we are in Him.

wmth@1John:2:6 @ The man who professes to be continuing in Him is himself also bound to live as He lived.

wmth@1John:2:8 @ And yet I giving you a new command, for such it really is, so far as both He and you are concerned: because the darkness is now passing away and the light, the true light, is already beginning to shine.

wmth@1John:2:11 @ But he who hates his brother man is in darkness and is walking in darkness; and he does not know where he is going–because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

wmth@1John:2:13 @ I am writing to you, fathers, because you know Him who has existed from the very beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the Evil one. I have written to you, children, because you know the Father.

wmth@1John:2:14 @ I have written to you, fathers, because you know Him who has existed from the very beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong and God's Message still has a place in your hearts, and you have overcome the Evil one.

wmth@1John:2:17 @ And the world, with its cravings, is passing away, but he who does God's will continues for ever.

wmth@1John:2:18 @ Dear children, the last hour has come; and as you once heard that there was to be an anti-Christ, so even now many anti-Christs have appeared. By this we may know that the last hour has come.

wmth@1John:2:20 @ As for you, you have an anointing from the holy One and have perfect knowledge.

wmth@1John:2:23 @ No one who disowns the Son has the Father. He who acknowledges the Son has also the Father.

wmth@1John:2:24 @ As for you, let the teaching which you have received from the very beginning continue in your hearts. If that teaching does continue in your hearts, you also will continue to be in union with the Son and with the Father.

wmth@1John:2:25 @ And this is the promise which He Himself has given us–the Life of the Ages.

wmth@1John:2:26 @ I have thus written to you concerning those who are leading you astray.

wmth@1John:2:27 @ And as for you, the anointing which you received from Him remains within you, and there is no need for any one to teach you. But since His anointing gives you instruction in all things –and is true and is no falsehood– you are continuing in union with Him even as it has taught you to do.

wmth@1John:2:29 @ Since you know that He is righteous, be assured also that the man who habitually acts righteously is a child of His.

wmth@1John:3:1 @ See what marvellous love the Father has bestowed upon us –that we should be called God's children: and that is what we are. For this reason the world does not recognize us– because it has not known Him.

wmth@1John:3:2 @ Dear friends, we are now God's children, but what we are to be in the future has not yet been fully revealed. We know that if Christ reappears we shall be like Him, because we shall see Him as He is.

wmth@1John:3:3 @ And every man who has this hope fixed on Him, purifies himself so as to be as pure as He is.

wmth@1John:3:6 @ No one who continues in union with Him lives in sin: no one who lives in sin has seen Him or knows Him.

wmth@1John:3:7 @ Dear children, let no one lead you astray. The man who acts righteously is righteous, just as He is righteous.

wmth@1John:3:8 @ He who is habitually guilty of sin is a child of the Devil, because the Devil has been a sinner from the very beginning. The Son of God appeared for the purpose of undoing the work of the Devil.

wmth@1John:3:12 @ We are not to resemble Cain, who was a child of the Evil one and killed his own brother. And why did he kill him? Because his own actions were wicked and his brother's actions righteous.

wmth@1John:3:14 @ As for us, we know that we have already passed out of death into Life–because we love our brother men. He who is destitute of love continues dead.

wmth@1John:3:15 @ Every one who hates his brother man is a murderer; and you know that no murderer has the Life of the Ages continuing in him.

wmth@1John:3:17 @ But if any one has this world's wealth and sees that his brother man is in need, and yet hardens his heart against him–how can such a one continue to love God?

wmth@1John:3:22 @ and whatever we ask for we obtain from Him, because we obey His commands and do the things which are pleasing in His sight.

wmth@1John:3:23 @ And this is His command–that we are to believe in His Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as He has commanded us to do.

wmth@1John:3:24 @ The man who obeys His commands continues in union with God, and God continues in union with him; and through His Spirit whom He has given us we can know that He continues in union with us.

wmth@1John:4:2 @ The test by which you may recognize the Spirit of God is that every spirit which acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come as man is from God,

wmth@1John:4:4 @ As for you, dear children, you are God's children, and have successfully resisted them; for greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.

wmth@1John:4:7 @ Dear friends, let us love one another; for love has its origin in God, and every one who loves has become a child of God and is beginning to know God.

wmth@1John:4:8 @ He who is destitute of love has never had any knowledge of God; because God is love.

wmth@1John:4:9 @ God's love for us has been manifested in that He has sent His only Son into the world so that we may have Life through Him.

wmth@1John:4:11 @ Dear friends, if God has so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

wmth@1John:4:12 @ No one has ever yet seen God. If we love one another, God continues in union with us, and His love in all its perfection is in our hearts.

wmth@1John:4:13 @ We can know that we are continuing in union with Him and that He is continuing in union with us, by the fact that He has given us a portion of His Spirit.

wmth@1John:4:14 @ And we have seen and bear witness that the Father has sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.

wmth@1John:4:16 @ And, as for us, we know the love which God has for us, and we confide in it. God is love, and he who continues to love continues in union with God, and God continues in union with him.

wmth@1John:4:18 @ Love has in it no element of fear; but perfect love drives away fear, because fear involves pain, and if a man gives way to fear, there is something imperfect in his love.

wmth@1John:4:20 @ If any one says that he loves God, while he hates his brother man, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother man whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen.

wmth@1John:5:4 @ For every child of God overcomes the world; and the victorious principle which has overcome the world is our faith.

wmth@1John:5:9 @ If we accept the testimony of men, God's testimony is greater: for God's testimony consists of the things which He has testified about His Son.

wmth@1John:5:10 @ He who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in his own heart: he who does not believe God has made Him a liar, in that he has refused to accept the testimony which God has given about His Son.

wmth@1John:5:11 @ And that testimony is to the effect that God has given us the Life of the Ages, and that this Life is in His Son.

wmth@1John:5:12 @ He who has the Son has the Life: he who has not the Son of God has not the Life.

wmth@1John:5:14 @ And we have an assured confidence that whenever we ask anything in accordance with His will, He listens to us.

wmth@1John:5:15 @ And since we know that He listens to us, then whatever we ask, we know that we have the things which we have asked from Him.

wmth@1John:5:16 @ If any one sees a brother man committing a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask and God shall give him life–for those who do not sin unto death. There is such a thing as sin unto death; for that I do not bid him make request.

wmth@1John:5:20 @ And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding so that we know the true One, and are in union with the true One–that is, we are in union with His Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and the Life of the Ages.

wmth@2John:1:5 @ And now, dear lady, I pray you –writing to you, as I do, not a new command, but the one which we have had from the very beginning– let us love one another.

wmth@2John:1:7 @ For many deceivers have gone out into the world–men who do not acknowledge Jesus as Christ who has come in human nature. Such a one is `the deceiver' and `the anti-Christ.'

wmth@2John:1:9 @ No one has God, who instead of remaining true to the teaching of Christ, presses on in advance: but he who remains true to that teaching has both the Father and the Son.

wmth@3John:1:2 @ My dear friend, I pray that you may in all respects prosper and enjoy good health, just as your soul already prospers.

wmth@3John:1:10 @ For this reason, if I come, I shall not forget his conduct, nor his idle and mischievous talk against us. And he does not stop there: he not only will not receive the brethren, but those who desire to do this he hinders, and excludes them from the Church.

wmth@3John:1:11 @ My dear friend, do not follow wrong examples, but right ones. He who habitually does what is right is a child of God: he who habitually does what is wrong has not seen God.

wmth@3John:1:12 @ The character of Demetrius has the approval of all men, and of the truth itself. We also express our approval of it, and you know that we only give our approval to that which is true.

wmth@Jude:1:4 @ For certain persons have crept in unnoticed –men spoken of in ancient writings as pre-destined to this condemnation– ungodly men, who pervert the grace of our God into an excuse for immorality, and disown Jesus Christ, our only Sovereign and Lord.

wmth@Jude:1:6 @ And angels –those who did not keep the position originally assigned to them, but deserted their own proper abode– He reserves in everlasting bonds, in darkness, in preparation for the judgement of the great day.

wmth@Jude:1:7 @ So also Sodom and Gomorrah –and the neighboring towns in the same manner– having been guilty of gross fornication and having gone astray in pursuit of unnatural vice, are now before us as a specimen of the fire of the Ages in the punishment which they are undergoing.

wmth@Jude:1:11 @ Alas for them; for they have followed in the steps of Cain; for the sake of gain they have rushed on headlong in the evil ways of Balaam; and have perished in rebellion like that of Korah!

wmth@Jude:1:12 @ These men –sunken rocks!– are those who share the pleasure of your love-feasts, unrestrained by fear while caring only for themselves; clouds without water, driven away by the winds; trees that cast their fruit, barren, doubly dead, uprooted;

wmth@Jude:1:14 @ It was also about these that Enoch, who belonged to the seventh generation from Adam, prophesied, saying, »The Lord has come, attended by myriads of His people, to execute judgement upon all,

wmth@Jude:1:15 @ and to convict all the ungodly of all the ungodly deeds which in their ungodliness they have committed, and of all the hard words which they, ungodly sinners as they are, have spoken against Him.«

wmth@Jude:1:16 @ These men are murmurers, ever bemoaning their lot. Their lives are guided by their evil passions, and their mouths are full of big, boastful words, while they treat individual men with admiring reverence for the sake of the advantage they can gain.

wmth@Jude:1:17 @ But as for you, my dearly-loved friends, remember the words that before now were spoken by the Apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ–

wmth@Jude:1:18 @ how they declared to you, »In the last times there shall be scoffers, obeying only their own ungodly passions.«

wmth@Jude:1:20 @ But you, my dearly-loved friends, building yourselves up on the basis of your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit,

wmth@Jude:1:23 @ others you must try to save, as brands plucked from the flames; and on others look with pity mingled with fear, while you hate every trace of their sin.

wmth@Jude:1:25 @ to the only God our Saviour–through Jesus Christ our Lord, be ascribed glory, majesty, might, and authority, as it was before all time, is now, and shall be to all the Ages! Amen.

wmth@Revelation:1:1 @ The revelation given by Jesus Christ, which God granted Him, that He might make known to His servants certain events which must shortly come to pass: and He sent His angel and communicated it to His servant John.

wmth@Revelation:1:4 @ John sends greetings to the seven Churches in the province of Asia. May grace be granted to you, and peace, from Him who is and was and evermore will be; and from the seven Spirits which are before His throne;

wmth@Revelation:1:12 @ I turned to see who it was that was speaking to me; and then I saw seven golden lampstands,

wmth@Revelation:1:13 @ and in the center of the lampstands some One resembling the Son of Man, clothed in a robe which reached to His feet, and with a girdle of gold across His breast.

wmth@Revelation:1:14 @ His head and His hair were white, like white wool–as white as snow; and His eyes resembled a flame of fire.

wmth@Revelation:1:16 @ In His right hand He held seven stars, and a sharp, two-edged sword was seen coming from His mouth; and His glance resembled the sun when it is shining with its full strength.

wmth@Revelation:1:17 @ When I saw Him, I fell at His feet as if I were dead. But He laid His right hand upon me and said, »Do not be afraid: I am the First and the Last, and the ever-living One.

wmth@Revelation:4:6 @ And in front of the throne there seemed to be a sea of glass, resembling crystal. And midway between the throne and the Elders, and surrounding the throne, were four living creatures, full of eyes in front and behind.

wmth@Revelation:5:3 @ But no one in Heaven, or on earth, or under the earth, was able to open the book or look into it.

wmth@Revelation:5:4 @ And while I was weeping bitterly, because no one was found worthy to open the book or look into it,

wmth@Revelation:5:6 @ Then, midway between the throne and the four living creatures, I saw a Lamb standing among the Elders. He looked as if He had been offered in sacrifice, and He had seven horns and seven eyes. The last-named are the seven Spirits of God, and have been sent far and wide into all the earth.

wmth@Revelation:5:7 @ So He comes, and now He has taken the book out of the right hand of Him who is seated on the throne.

wmth@Revelation:5:9 @ And now they sing a new song. »It is fitting,« they say, »that Thou shouldst be the One to take the book And break its seals; Because Thou hast been offered in sacrifice, And hast purchased for God with Thine own blood Some out of every tribe and language and people and nation,

wmth@Revelation:8:7 @ The first blew his trumpet; and there came hail and fire, mixed with blood, falling upon the earth; and a third part of the earth was burnt up, and a third part of the trees and all the green grass.

wmth@Revelation:8:8 @ The second angel blew his trumpet; and what seemed to be a great mountain, all ablaze with fire, was hurled into the sea; and a third part of the sea was turned into blood.

wmth@Revelation:8:10 @ The third angel blew his trumpet; and there fell from Heaven a great star, which was on fire like a torch. It fell upon a third part of the rivers and upon the springs of water.

wmth@Revelation:8:11 @ The name of the star is `Wormwood;' and a third part of the waters were turned into wormwood, and vast numbers of the people died from drinking the water, because it had become bitter.

wmth@Revelation:8:12 @ Then the fourth angel blew his trumpet; and a curse fell upon a third part of the sun, a third part of the moon, and a third part of the stars, so that a third part of them were darkened and for a third of the day, and also of the night, there was no light.

wmth@Revelation:8:13 @ Then I looked, and I heard a solitary eagle crying in a loud voice, as it flew across the sky, »Alas, alas, alas, for the inhabitants of the earth, because of the significance of the remaining trumpets which the three angels are about to blow!«

wmth@Revelation:9:1 @ The fifth angel blew his trumpet; and I saw a Star which had fallen from Heaven to the earth; and to him was given the key of the depths of the bottomless pit,

wmth@Revelation:9:2 @ and he opened the depths of the bottomless pit. And smoke came up out of the pit resembling the smoke of a vast furnace, so that the sun was darkened, and the air also, by reason of the smoke of the pit.

wmth@Revelation:9:3 @ And from the midst of the smoke there came locusts on to the earth, and power was given to them resembling the power which earthly scorpions possess.

wmth@Revelation:9:5 @ Their mission was not to kill, but to cause awful agony for five months; and this agony was like that which a scorpion inflicts when it stings a man.

wmth@Revelation:9:7 @ The appearance of the locusts was like that of horses equipped for war. On their heads they had wreaths which looked like gold.

wmth@Revelation:9:9 @ They had breast-plates which seemed to be made of steel; and the noise caused by their wings was like that of a vast number of horses and chariots hurrying into battle.

wmth@Revelation:9:12 @ The first woe is past; two other woes have still to come.

wmth@Revelation:9:16 @ The number of the cavalry was two hundred millions; I heard their number.

wmth@Revelation:9:17 @ And this was the appearance of the horses which I saw in my vision–and of their riders. The body-armour of the riders was red, blue and yellow; and the horses' heads were shaped like the heads of lions, while from their mouths there came fire and smoke and sulphur.

wmth@Revelation:9:20 @ But the rest of mankind who were not killed by these plagues, did not even then repent and leave the things they had made, so as to cease worshipping the demons, and the idols of gold and silver, bronze, stone, and wood, which can neither see nor hear, nor move.

wmth@Revelation:10:1 @ Then I saw another strong angel coming down from Heaven. He was robed in a cloud, and over his head was the rainbow. His face was like the sun, and his feet resembled pillars of fire.

wmth@Revelation:10:4 @ And when the seven peals of thunder had spoken, I was about to write down what they had said; but I heard a voice from Heaven which told me to keep secret all that the seven peals of thunder had said, and not write it down.

wmth@Revelation:10:9 @ So I went to the angel and asked him to give me the little book. »Take it,« he said, »and eat the whole of it. You will find it bitter when you have eaten it, although in your mouth it will taste as sweet as honey.«

wmth@Revelation:10:10 @ So I took the roll out of the angel's hand and ate the whole of it; and in my mouth it was as sweet as honey, but when I had eaten it I found it very bitter.

wmth@Revelation:11:1 @ Then a reed was given me to serve as a measuring rod; and a voice said, »Rise, and measure God's sanctuary –and the altar– and count the worshipers who are in it.

wmth@Revelation:11:2 @ But as for the court which is outside the sanctuary, pass it over. Do not measure it; for it has been given to the Gentiles, and for forty-two months they will trample the holy city under foot.

wmth@Revelation:12:2 @ and she was crying out in the pains and agony of childbirth.

wmth@Revelation:12:3 @ And another marvel was seen in Heaven–a great fiery-red Dragon, with seven heads and ten horns; and on his heads were seven kingly crowns.

wmth@Revelation:12:4 @ His tail was drawing after it a third part of the stars of Heaven, and it dashed them to the ground. And in front of the woman who was about to become a mother, the Dragon was standing in order to devour the child as soon as it was born.

wmth@Revelation:12:9 @ The great Dragon, the ancient serpent, he who is called `the Devil' and `the Adversary' and leads the whole earth astray, was hurled down: he was hurled down to the earth, and his angels were hurled down with him.

wmth@Revelation:12:10 @ Then I heard a loud voice speaking in Heaven. It said, »The salvation and the power and the Kingdom of our God have now come, and the sovereignty of His Christ; for the accuser of our brethren has been hurled down–he who, day after day and night after night, was wont to accuse them in the presence of God.

wmth@Revelation:12:12 @ For this reason be glad, O Heaven, and you who live in Heaven! Alas for the earth and the sea! For the Devil has come down to you; full of fierce anger, because he knows that his appointed time is short.«

wmth@Revelation:12:13 @ And when the Dragon saw that he was hurled down to the earth, he went in pursuit of the woman who had given birth to the male child.

wmth@Revelation:12:14 @ Then, the two wings of a great eagle were given to the woman to enable her to fly away into the Desert to the place assigned her, there to be cared for, for a period of time, two periods of time, and half a period of time, beyond the reach of the serpent.

wmth@Revelation:12:17 @ This made the Dragon furiously angry with the woman, and he went elsewhere to make war upon her other children–those who keep God's commandments and hold fast to the testimony of Jesus.

wmth@Revelation:13:1 @ And he took up a position upon the sands of the sea-shore. Then I saw a Wild Beast coming up out of the sea, and he had ten horns and seven heads. On his horns were ten kingly crowns, and inscribed on his heads were names full of blasphemy.

wmth@Revelation:13:2 @ The Wild Beast which I saw resembled a leopard, and had feet like the feet of a bear, and his mouth was like the mouth of a lion; and it was to the Dragon that he owed his power and his throne and his wide dominion.

wmth@Revelation:13:3 @ I saw that one of his heads seemed to have been mortally wounded; but his mortal wound was healed, and the whole world was amazed and followed him.

wmth@Revelation:13:4 @ And they offered worship to the Dragon, because it was to him that the Wild Beast owed his dominion; and they also offered worship to the Wild Beast, and said, »Who is there like him? And who is able to engage in battle with him?«

wmth@Revelation:13:5 @ And there was given him a mouth full of boastful and blasphemous words; and liberty of action was granted him for forty-two months.

wmth@Revelation:13:6 @ And he opened his mouth to utter blasphemies against God, to speak evil of His name and of His dwelling-place–that is to say, of those who dwell in Heaven.

wmth@Revelation:13:7 @ And permission was given him to make war upon God's people and conquer them; and power was given him over every tribe, people, language and nation.

wmth@Revelation:13:8 @ And all the inhabitants of the earth will be found to be worshipping him: every one whose name is not recorded in the Book of Life–the Book of the Lamb who has been offered in sacrifice ever since the creation of the world.

wmth@Revelation:13:11 @ Then I saw another Wild Beast, coming up out of the earth. He had two horns like those of a lamb, but he spoke like a dragon.

wmth@Revelation:13:12 @ And the authority of the first Wild Beast –the whole of that authority– he exercises in his presence, and he causes the earth and its inhabitants to worship the first Wild Beast, whose mortal wound had been healed.

wmth@Revelation:13:13 @ He also works great miracles, so as even to make fire come down from Heaven to earth in the presence of human beings.

wmth@Revelation:13:14 @ And his power of leading astray the inhabitants of the earth is due to the marvels which he has been permitted to work in the presence of the Wild Beast. And he told the inhabitants of the earth to erect a statue to the Wild Beast who had received the sword-stroke and yet had recovered.

wmth@Revelation:13:15 @ And power was granted him to give breath to the statue of the Wild Beast, so that the statue of the Wild Beast could even speak and cause all who refuse to worship it to be put to death.

wmth@Revelation:13:17 @ in order that no one should be allowed to buy or sell unless he had the mark–either the name of the Wild Beast or the number which his name represents.

wmth@Revelation:13:18 @ Here is scope for ingenuity. Let people of shrewd intelligence calculate the number of the Wild Beast; for it indicates a certain man, and his number is 666.

wmth@Revelation:14:2 @ And I heard music from Heaven which resembled the sound of many waters and the roar of loud thunder; and the music which I heard was like that of harpists playing upon their harps.

wmth@Revelation:14:3 @ And they were singing what seemed to be a new song, in front of the throne and in the presence of the four living creatures and the Elders; and no one was able to learn that song except the 144,000 people who had been redeemed out of the world.

wmth@Revelation:14:4 @ These are those who had not defiled themselves with women: they are as pure as virgins. They follow the Lamb wherever He goes. They have been redeemed from among men, as firstfruits to God and to the Lamb.

wmth@Revelation:14:5 @ And no lie has ever been found upon their lips: they are faultless.

wmth@Revelation:14:7 @ He said in a loud voice, »Fear God and give Him glory, because the time of His judgment has come; and worship Him who made sky and earth, the sea and the water-springs.«

wmth@Revelation:14:8 @ And another, a second angel, followed, exclaiming, »Great Babylon has fallen, has fallen–she who made all the nations drink the wine of the anger provoked by her fornication.«

wmth@Revelation:14:9 @ And another, a third angel, followed them, exclaiming in a loud voice, »If any one worships the Wild Beast and his statue, and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand,

wmth@Revelation:14:11 @ And the smoke of their torment goes up until the Ages of the Ages; and the worshipers of the Wild Beast and his statue have no rest day or night, nor has any one who receives the mark of his name.

wmth@Revelation:14:13 @ And I heard a voice speaking from Heaven. It said, »Write as follows: »`Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from this time onward. Yes, says the Spirit, let them rest from their sorrowful labours; for what they have done goes with them.'«

wmth@Revelation:14:14 @ Then I looked, and a white cloud appeared, and sitting on the cloud was some One resembling the Son of Man, having a wreath of gold upon His head and in His hand a sharp sickle.

wmth@Revelation:14:15 @ And another, an angel, came out of the sanctuary, calling in a loud voice to Him who sat on the cloud, and saying, »Use your sickle and reap the harvest, for the hour for reaping it has come: the harvest of the earth is over-ripe.«

wmth@Revelation:14:20 @ And the winepress was trodden outside the city, and out of it came blood reaching the horses' bridles for a distance of 200 miles.

wmth@Revelation:15:1 @ Then I saw another marvel in Heaven, great and wonderful–there were seven angels bringing seven plagues. These are the last plagues, because in them God's anger has found full expression.

wmth@Revelation:15:2 @ And I saw what seemed to be a sea of glass mingled with fire, and those who had gained the victory over the Wild Beast and over his statue and the number of his name, standing by the sea of glass and having harps which belonged to God.

wmth@Revelation:15:4 @ Who shall not be afraid, O Lord, and glorify Thy name? For Thou alone art holy. All nations shall come and shall worship Thee, because the righteousness of all that Thou hast done has been made manifest.«

wmth@Revelation:15:6 @ and there came out of the sanctuary the seven angels who were bringing the seven plagues. The angels were clad in pure, bright linen, and had girdles of gold across their breasts.

wmth@Revelation:15:8 @ And the sanctuary was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from His power; and no one could enter the sanctuary till the seven plagues brought by the seven angels were at an end.

wmth@Revelation:16:2 @ So the first angel went away and poured his bowl on to the earth; and it brought a bad and painful sore upon the men who had on them the mark of the Wild Beast and worshipped his statue.

wmth@Revelation:16:5 @ And I heard the angel of the waters say, »Righteous art Thou, who art and wast, the holy One, because Thou hast thus taken vengeance.

wmth@Revelation:16:6 @ For they poured out the blood of Thy people and of the Prophets, and in return Thou hast given them blood to drink. And this they deserved.«

wmth@Revelation:16:8 @ Then the fourth angel poured his bowl on to the sun, and power was given to it to scorch men with fire.

wmth@Revelation:16:9 @ And the men were severely burned; and yet they spoke evil of God who had power over the plagues, and they did not repent so as to give Him glory.

wmth@Revelation:16:10 @ The fifth angel poured his bowl on to the throne of the Wild Beast; and his kingdom became darkened. People gnawed their tongues because of the pain,

wmth@Revelation:16:12 @ The sixth angel poured his bowl into that great river, the Euphrates; and its stream was dried up in order to clear the way for the kings who are to come from the east.

wmth@Revelation:16:13 @ Then I saw three foul spirits, resembling frogs, issue from the mouth of the Dragon, from the mouth of the Wild Beast, and from the mouth of the false Prophet.

wmth@Revelation:16:14 @ For they are the spirits of demons working marvels–spirits that go out to control the kings of the whole earth, to assemble them for the battle which is to take place on the great day of God, the Ruler of all.

wmth@Revelation:16:16 @ And assemble them they did at the place called in Hebrew `Har-Magedon.'

wmth@Revelation:16:18 @ Flashes of lightning followed, and voices, and peals of thunder, and an earthquake more dreadful than there had ever been since there was a man upon the earth–so terrible was it, and so great!

wmth@Revelation:16:19 @ The great city was split into three parts; the cities of the nations fell; and great Babylon came into remembrance before God, for Him to make her drink from the wine-cup of His fierce anger.

wmth@Revelation:16:20 @ Every island fled away, and there was not a mountain anywhere to be seen.

wmth@Revelation:16:21 @ And heavy hail, that seemed to be a talent in weight, fell from the sky upon the people; and they spoke evil of God on account of the plague of the hail–because the plague of it was exceedingly severe.

wmth@Revelation:17:3 @ So he carried me away in the Spirit into a desert, and there I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet-colored Wild Beast which was covered with names of blasphemy and had seven heads and ten horns.

wmth@Revelation:17:4 @ The woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, and was brilliantly attired with gold and jewels and pearls. She held in her hand a cup of gold, full of abominations, and she gave filthy indications of her fornication.

wmth@Revelation:17:5 @ And on her forehead was a name written:»I am a symbol of great Babylon, the mother of the harlots and of the abominations of the earth.«

wmth@Revelation:17:6 @ And I saw the woman drinking herself drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the witnesses of Jesus. And when I saw her I was filled with utter astonishment.

wmth@Revelation:17:7 @ Then the angel said to me, »Why are you so astonished? I will explain to you the secret meaning of the woman and of the seven-headed, ten-horned Wild Beast which carries her.

wmth@Revelation:17:8 @ »The Wild Beast which you have seen was, and is not, and yet is destined to re-ascend, before long, out of the bottomless pit and go his way into perdition. And the inhabitants of the earth will be filled with amazement –all whose names are not in the Book of Life, having been recorded there ever since the creation of the world– when they see the Wild Beast: because he was, and is not, and yet is to come.«

wmth@Revelation:17:9 @ Here is scope for the exercise of a mind that has wisdom! The seven heads are the seven hills on which the woman sits.

wmth@Revelation:17:10 @ And they are seven kings: five of them have fallen, and the one is still reigning. The seventh has not yet come, but when he comes he must continue for a short time.

wmth@Revelation:17:11 @ And the Wild Beast which once existed but does not now exist–he is an eighth king and yet is one of the seven and he goes his way into perdition.

wmth@Revelation:17:12 @ »And the ten horns which you have seen are ten kings who have not yet come to the throne, but for a single hour they are to receive authority as kings along with the Wild Beast.«

wmth@Revelation:17:13 @ They have one common policy, and they are to give their power and authority to the Wild Beast.

wmth@Revelation:17:14 @ They will make war upon the Lamb, and the Lamb will triumph over them; for He is Lord of lords and King of kings. And those who accompany Him –called, as they are, and chosen, and faithful– shall share in the victory.«

wmth@Revelation:17:16 @ And the ten horns that you have seen –and the Wild Beast– these will hate the Harlot, and they will cause her to be laid waste and will strip her bare. They will eat her flesh, and burn her up with fire.

wmth@Revelation:17:17 @ For God has put it into their hearts to carry out His purpose, and to carry out a common purpose and to give their kingdom to the Wild Beast until God's words have come to pass.

wmth@Revelation:17:18 @ And the woman whom you have seen is the great city which has kingly power over the kings of the earth.«

wmth@Revelation:18:2 @ and with a mighty voice he cried out, saying, »Great Babylon has fallen, has fallen, and has become a home for demons and a stronghold for every kind of foul spirit and for every kind of foul and hateful bird.

wmth@Revelation:18:5 @ For her sins are piled up to the sky, and God has called to mind her unrighteous deeds.

wmth@Revelation:18:6 @ Give back to her as she has given; repay her in accordance with her doings, twice as much; in the bowl that she has mixed, mix twice as much for her.

wmth@Revelation:18:7 @ She has freely glorified herself and revelled in luxury; equally freely administer torment to her, and woe. For in her heart she boasts, saying, `I sit enthroned as Queen: no widow am I: I shall never know sorrow.'

wmth@Revelation:18:8 @ »For this reason calamities shall come thick upon her on a single day –death and sorrow and famine– and she shall be burned to the ground. For strong is the Lord God who has judged her.«

wmth@Revelation:18:10 @ while they stand afar off because of their terror at her heavy punishment, and say, `Alas, alas, thou great city, O Babylon, the mighty city! For in one short hour thy doom has come!'

wmth@Revelation:18:13 @ Also cinnamon and amomum; odors to burn as incense or for perfume; frankincense, wine, oil; fine flour, wheat, cattle and sheep; horses and carriages and slaves; and the lives of men.

wmth@Revelation:18:16 @ weeping aloud and sorrowing, and saying, `Alas, alas, for this great city, which was brilliantly arrayed in fine linen, and purple and scarlet stuff, and beautified with gold, jewels and pearls;

wmth@Revelation:18:17 @ because in one short hour all this great wealth has been laid waste!' And every shipmaster and every passenger by sea and the crews and all who ply their trade on the sea,

wmth@Revelation:18:19 @ And they threw dust upon their heads, and cried out, weeping aloud and sorrowing. `Alas, alas,' they said, `for this great city, in which, through her vast wealth, the owners of all the ships on the sea have grown rich; because in one short hour she has been laid waste!'

wmth@Revelation:18:20 @ Rejoice over her, O Heaven, and you saints and Apostles and Prophets; for God has taken vengeance upon her because of you.«

wmth@Revelation:18:23 @ Never again shall the light of a lamp shine in thee, and never again shall the voice of a bridegroom or of a bride be heard in thee. For thy merchants were the great men of the earth, and with the magic which thou didst practise all nations were led astray.

wmth@Revelation:18:24 @ And in her was found the blood of Prophets and of God's people and of all who had been put to death on the earth.«

wmth@Revelation:19:2 @ True and just are His judgments, because He has judged the great Harlot who was corrupting the whole earth with her fornication, and He has taken vengeance for the blood of His bondservants which her hands have shed.«

wmth@Revelation:19:3 @ And a second time they said, »Hallelujah! For her smoke ascends until the Ages of the Ages.«

wmth@Revelation:19:6 @ And I seemed to hear the voices of a great multitude and the sound of many waters and of loud peals of thunder, which said, »Hallelujah! Because the Lord our God, the Ruler of all, has become King.

wmth@Revelation:19:7 @ Let us rejoice and triumph and give Him the glory; for the time for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His Bride has made herself ready.«

wmth@Revelation:19:8 @ And she was permitted to array herself in fine linen, shining and spotless; the fine linen being the righteous actions of God's people.

wmth@Revelation:19:9 @ And he said to me, »Write as follows: `Blessed are those who receive an invitation to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.'« And he added, still addressing me, »These are truly the words of God.«

wmth@Revelation:19:11 @ Then I saw a door open in Heaven, and a white horse appeared. Its rider was named »Faithful and True« –being One who in righteousness acts as Judge, and makes war.

wmth@Revelation:19:12 @ His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many kingly crowns; and He has a name written upon Him which no one but He Himself knows.

wmth@Revelation:19:13 @ The outer garment in which He is clad has been dipped in blood and His name is THE WORD OF GOD.

wmth@Revelation:19:16 @ And on His outer garment and on His thigh He has a name written, KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.

wmth@Revelation:19:18 @ that you may feast on the flesh of kings and the flesh of generals and the flesh of mighty men, on the flesh of horses and their riders, and on the flesh of all mankind, whether they are free men or slaves, great men or small.«

wmth@Revelation:19:19 @ And I saw the Wild Beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, all assembled to make war, once for all, against the Rider upon the horse and against His army. And the Wild Beast was captured, and with him the false Prophet

wmth@Revelation:19:20 @ who had done the miracles in his presence with which he had led astray those who had received the mark of the Wild Beast, and those who worshipped his statue. Both of them were thrown alive into the Lake of fire that was all ablaze with sulphur.

wmth@Revelation:20:3 @ He closed the entrance and put a seal upon him in order that he might be unable to lead the nations astray any more until the thousand years were at an end. Afterwards he is to be set at liberty for a short time.

wmth@Revelation:20:4 @ And I saw thrones, and some who were seated on them, to whom judgment was entrusted. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded on account of the testimony that they had borne to Jesus and on account of God's Message, and also the souls of those who had not worshipped the Wild Beast or his statue, nor received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands; and they came to Life and were kings with Christ for a thousand years.

wmth@Revelation:20:5 @ No one else who was dead rose to Life until the thousand years were at an end. This is the First Resurrection.

wmth@Revelation:20:6 @ Blessed and holy are those who share in the First Resurrection. The Second Death has no power over them, but they shall be priests to God and to Christ, and shall be kings with Christ for the thousand years.

wmth@Revelation:20:7 @ But when the thousand years are at an end, the Adversary will be released from his imprisonment,

wmth@Revelation:20:8 @ and will go out to lead astray the nations in all the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, and assemble them for war, and they are like the sands on the seashore in number.

wmth@Revelation:20:10 @ and the Devil, who had been leading them astray, was thrown into the Lake of fire and sulphur where the Wild Beast and the false Prophet were, and day and night they will suffer torture until the Ages of the Ages.

wmth@Revelation:20:11 @ Then I saw a great white throne and One who was seated on it, from whose presence earth and sky fled away, and no place was found for them.

wmth@Revelation:20:12 @ And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing in front of the throne. And books were opened; and so was another book–namely, the Book of Life; and the dead were judged by the things recorded in the books in accordance with what their conduct had been.

wmth@Revelation:20:13 @ Then the sea yielded up the dead who were in it, Death and Hades yielded up the dead who were in them, and each man was judged in accordance with what his conduct had been.

wmth@Revelation:20:15 @ And if any one's name was not found recorded in the Book of Life he was thrown into the Lake of fire.

wmth@Revelation:21:4 @ He will wipe every tear from their eyes. Death shall be no more; nor sorrow, nor wail of woe, nor pain; for the first things have passed away.«

wmth@Revelation:21:5 @ Then He who was seated on the throne said, »I am re-creating all things.« And He added, »Write down these words, for they are trustworthy and true.«

wmth@Revelation:21:8 @ But as for cowards and the unfaithful, and the polluted, and murderers, fornicators, and those who practise magic or worship idols, and all liars–the portion allotted to them shall be in the Lake which burns with fire and sulphur. This is the Second Death.«

wmth@Revelation:21:9 @ Then there came one of the seven angels who were carrying the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues. »Come with me,« he said, »and I will show you the Bride, the Lamb's wife.«

wmth@Revelation:21:10 @ So in the Spirit he carried me to the top of a vast, lofty mountain, and showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of Heaven from God,

wmth@Revelation:21:11 @ and bringing with it the glory of God. It shone with a radiance like that of a very precious stone–such as a jasper, bright and transparent.

wmth@Revelation:21:12 @ It has a wall, massive and high, with twelve large gates, and in charge of the gates were twelve angels. And overhead, above the gates, names were inscribed which are those of the twelve tribes of the descendants of Israel.

wmth@Revelation:21:13 @ There were three gates on the east, three on the north, three on the south, and three on the west.

wmth@Revelation:21:15 @ Now he who was speaking to me had a measuring-rod of gold, with which to measure the city and its gates and its wall.

wmth@Revelation:21:16 @ The plan of the city is a square, the length being the same as the breadth; and he measured the city furlong by furlong, with his measuring rod–it is twelve hundred miles long, and the length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.

wmth@Revelation:21:17 @ And he measured the wall of it–a wall of a hundred and forty-four cubits, according to human measure, which was also that of the angel.

wmth@Revelation:21:18 @ The solid fabric of the wall was jasper; and the city itself was made of gold, resembling transparent glass.

wmth@Revelation:21:19 @ As for the foundation-stones of the city wall, which were beautified with various kinds of precious stones, the first was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald, the fifth sardonyx, the sixth sardius,

wmth@Revelation:21:20 @ the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, the twelfth amethyst.

wmth@Revelation:21:21 @ And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; each of them consisting of a single pearl. And the main street of the city was made of pure gold, resembling transparent glass.

wmth@Revelation:21:23 @ Nor has the city any need of the sun or of the moon, to give it light; for the glory of God has shone upon it and its lamp is the Lamb.

wmth@Revelation:21:27 @ And no unclean thing shall ever enter it, nor any one who is guilty of base conduct or tells lies, but only they whose names stand recorded in the Lamb's Book of Life.

wmth@Revelation:22:1 @ Then he showed me the river of the Water of Life, bright as crystal, issuing from the throne of God and of the Lamb.

wmth@Revelation:22:2 @ On either side of the river, midway between it and the main street of the city, was the Tree of Life. It produced twelve kinds of fruit, yielding a fresh crop month by month, and the leaves of the tree served as medicine for the nations.

wmth@Revelation:22:8 @ I John heard and saw these things; and when I had heard and seen them, I fell at the feet of the angel who was showing me them–to worship him.

wmth@Revelation:22:12 @ »I am coming quickly; and My reward is with Me, that I may requite every man in accordance with what his conduct has been.

wmth@Revelation:22:13 @ I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.«

wmth@Revelation:22:14 @ Blessed are those who wash their robes clean, that they may have a right to the Tree of Life, and may go through the gates into the city.
