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:1:7 @ To all God's loved ones who are in Rome, called to be saints. May grace and peace be granted to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
wmth@Romans:1:12 @ in other words that while I am among you we may be mutually encouraged by one another's faith, yours and mine.
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:1:14 @ I am already under obligations alike to Greek-speaking races and to others, to cultured and to uncultured people:
wmth@Romans:1:25 @ For they had bartered the reality of God for what is unreal, and had offered divine honours and religious service to created things, rather than to the Creator–He who is for ever blessed. Amen.
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:1:32 @ 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:2:8 @ while on the other hand upon the self-willed who disobey the truth and obey unrighteousness will fall anger and fury, affliction and awful distress,
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:2:20 @ 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:3:10 @ Thus it stands written, »There is not one righteous man.
wmth@Romans:3:11 @ There is not one who is really wise, nor one who is a diligent seeker after God.
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:3:18 @ »There is no fear of God before their eyes.«
wmth@Romans:3:27 @ Where then is there room for your boasting? It is for ever shut out. On what principle? On the ground of merit? No, but on the ground of faith.
wmth@Romans:4:1 @ What then shall we say that Abraham, our earthly forefather, has gained?
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:4:11 @ 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:4:13 @ Again, the promise that he should inherit the world did not come to Abraham or his posterity conditioned by Law, but by faith-righteousness.
wmth@Romans:4:15 @ For the Law inflicts punishment; but where no Law exists, there can be no violation of Law.
wmth@Romans:4:17 @ so that the promise should be made sure to all Abraham's true descendants; not merely to those who are righteous through the Law, but to those who are righteous through a faith like that of Abraham. Thus in the sight of God in whom he believed, who gives life to the dead and makes reference to things that do not exist, as though they did, Abraham is the forefather of all of us. As it is written,
wmth@Romans:4:18 @ Under utterly hopeless circumstances he hopefully believed, so that he might become the forefather of many nations, in agreement with the words
wmth@Romans:5:7 @ Why, it is scarcely conceivable that any one would die for a simply just man, although for a good and lovable man perhaps some one, here and there, will have the courage even to lay down his life.
wmth@Romans:5:9 @ If therefore we have now been pronounced free from guilt through His blood, much more shall we be delivered from God's anger through Him.
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:5:20 @ Now Law was brought in later on, so that transgression might increase. But where sin increased, grace has overflowed;
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:6:12 @ Let not Sin therefore reign as king in your mortal bodies, causing you to be in subjection to their cravings;
wmth@Romans:6:15 @ Are we therefore to sin because we are no longer under the authority of Law, but under grace? No, indeed!
wmth@Romans:6:16 @ 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: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:7:4 @ So, my brethren, to you also the Law died through the incarnation of Christ, that you might be wedded to Another, namely to Him who rose from the dead in order that we might yield fruit to God.
wmth@Romans:7:21 @ I find therefore the law of my nature to be that when I desire to do what is right, evil is lying in ambush for me.
wmth@Romans:7:23 @ but I discover within me a different Law at war with the Law of my understanding, and leading me captive to the Law which is everywhere at work in my body–the Law of sin.
wmth@Romans:8:1 @ There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus;
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:8:12 @ Therefore, brethren, it is not to our lower natures that we are under obligation that we should live by their rule.
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:8:21 @ 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:8:22 @ For we know that the whole of Creation is groaning together in the pains of childbirth until this hour.
wmth@Romans:8:27 @ and the Searcher of hearts knows what the Spirit's meaning is, because His intercessions for God's people are in harmony with God's will.
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:8:31 @ What then shall we say to this? If God is on our side, who is there to appear against us?
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:8:38 @ For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither the lower ranks of evil angels nor the higher, neither things present nor things future, nor the forces of nature,
wmth@Romans:8:39 @ nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God which rests upon us in Christ Jesus our Lord.
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:9:13 @ This agrees with the other Scripture which says,
wmth@Romans:9:14 @ What then are we to infer? That there is injustice in God?
wmth@Romans:9:18 @ This is a proof that wherever He chooses He shows mercy, and wherever he chooses He hardens the heart.
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:10:14 @ But how are they to call on One in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in One whose voice they have never heard? And how are they to hear without a preacher?
wmth@Romans: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:11:14 @ trying whether I can succeed in rousing my own countrymen to jealousy and thus save some of them.
wmth@Romans:11:17 @ And if some of the branches have been pruned away, and you, although you were but a wild olive, have been grafted in among them and have become a sharer with others in the rich sap of the root of the olive tree,
wmth@Romans:11:21 @ Do not be puffed up with pride. Tremble rather–for if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will He spare you.
wmth@Romans:11:22 @ Notice therefore God's kindness and God's severity. On those who have fallen His severity has descended, but upon you His kindness has come, provided that you do not cease to respond to that kindness. Otherwise you will be cut off also.
wmth@Romans:11:25 @ For there is a truth, brethren, not revealed hitherto, of which I do not wish to leave you in ignorance, for fear you should attribute superior wisdom to yourselves–the truth, I mean, that partial blindness has fallen upon Israel until the great mass of the Gentiles have come in;
wmth@Romans:11:28 @ In relation to the Good News, the Jews are God's enemies for your sakes; but in relation to God's choice they are dearly loved for the sake of their forefathers.
wmth@Romans:11:31 @ so now they also have been disobedient at a time when you are receiving mercy; so that to them too there may now be mercy.
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:12:4 @ 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:12:8 @ The teacher must do the same in his teaching; and he who exhorts others, in his exhortation. He who gives should be liberal; he who is in authority should be energetic and alert; and he who succours the afflicted should do it cheerfully.
wmth@Romans:12:10 @ As for brotherly love, be affectionate to one another; in matters of worldly honour, yield to one another.
wmth@Romans:12:16 @ Have full sympathy with one another. Do not give your mind to high things, but let humble ways content you.
wmth@Romans:12:20 @ On the contrary, therefore,
wmth@Romans:13:2 @ Therefore the man who rebels against his ruler is resisting God's will; and those who thus resist will bring punishment upon themselves.
wmth@Romans:13:5 @ We must obey therefore, not only in order to escape punishment, but also for conscience' sake.
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:13:9 @ For the precepts, and all other precepts, are summed up in this one command,
wmth@Romans:13:10 @ Love avoids doing any wrong to one's fellow man, and is therefore complete obedience to 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:14:4 @ 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:14:5 @ One man esteems one day more highly than another; another esteems all days alike. Let every one be thoroughly convinced in his own mind.
wmth@Romans:14:8 @ If we live, we live to the Lord: if we die, we die to the Lord. So whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.
wmth@Romans:14:10 @ But you, why do you find fault with your brother? Or you, why do you look down upon your brother? We shall all stand before God to be judged;
wmth@Romans:14:13 @ Therefore let us no longer judge one another; but, instead of that, you should come to this judgement–that we must not put a stumbling-block in our brother's path, nor anything to trip him up.
wmth@Romans:14:15 @ If your brother is pained by the food you are eating, your conduct is no longer controlled by love. Take care lest, by the food you eat, you lead to ruin a man for whom Christ died.
wmth@Romans:14:16 @ Therefore do not let the boon which is yours in common be exposed to reproach.
wmth@Romans:14:19 @ Therefore let us aim at whatever makes for peace and mutual upbuilding of character.
wmth@Romans:14:20 @ Do not for food's sake be throwing down God's work. All food is pure; but a man is in the wrong if his food is a snare to others.
wmth@Romans:14:21 @ The right course is to forego eating meat or drinking wine or doing anything that tends to your brother's fall.
wmth@Romans:15:5 @ And may God, the giver of power of endurance and of that encouragement, grant you to be in full sympathy with one another in accordance with the example of Christ Jesus,
wmth@Romans:15:6 @ so that with oneness both of heart and voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
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:15:17 @ I can therefore glory in Christ Jesus concerning the work for God in which I am engaged.
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:15:20 @ 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:15:23 @ 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:15:28 @ 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:15:31 @ 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:16:1 @ Herewith I introduce our sister Phoebe to you, who is a servant of the Church at Cenchreae,
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:16:11 @ Greetings to my countryman, Herodion; and to the believing members of the household of Narcissus.
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:16:16 @ Salute one another with a holy kiss. All the Churches of Christ send greetings to you.
wmth@Romans:16:17 @ But I beseech you, brethren, to keep a watch on those who are causing the divisions among you, and are leading others into sin, in defiance of the instruction which you have received; and habitually to shun them.
wmth@Romans:16:19 @ 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:16:23 @ 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@1Corinthians:1:1 @ Paul, called to be an Apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God–and our brother Sosthenes:
wmth@1Corinthians:1:3 @ May grace and peace be granted to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
wmth@1Corinthians:1:7 @ so that there is no gift of God in which you consciously come short while patiently waiting for the reappearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,
wmth@1Corinthians:1:10 @ Now I entreat you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to cultivate a spirit of harmony –all of you– and that there be no divisions among you, but rather a perfect union through your having one mind and one judgement.
wmth@1Corinthians:1:11 @ For I have been distinctly informed, my brethren, about you by Chloe's people, that there are dissensions among you.
wmth@1Corinthians:1:12 @ What I mean is that each of you is a partisan. One man says »I belong to Paul;« another »I belong to Apollos;« a third »I belong to Peter;« a fourth »I belong to Christ.«
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:1:15 @ for fear people should say that you were baptized to be my adherents.
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:1:24 @ but to those who have received the Call, whether Jews or Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.
wmth@1Corinthians:2:7 @ But in dealing with truths hitherto kept secret we speak of God's wisdom–that hidden wisdom which, before the world began, God pre-destined, so that it should result in glory to us;
wmth@1Corinthians:3:4 @ For when some one says, »I belong to Paul,« and another says, »I belong to Apollos,« is not this the way men of the world speak?
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:3:11 @ For no one can lay any other foundation in addition to that which is already laid, namely Jesus Christ.
wmth@1Corinthians:3:12 @ And whether the building which any one is erecting on that foundation be of gold or silver or costly stones, of timber or hay or straw–
wmth@1Corinthians:3:21 @ Therefore let no one boast about his human teachers.
wmth@1Corinthians:4:3 @ I however am very little concerned at undergoing your scrutiny, or that of other men; in fact I do not even scrutinize myself.
wmth@1Corinthians:4:5 @ Therefore form no premature judgements, but wait until the Lord returns. He will both bring to light the secrets of darkness and will openly disclose the motives that have been in people's hearts; and then the praise which each man deserves will come to him from God.
wmth@1Corinthians:4:6 @ 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:4:15 @ For even if you were to have ten thousand spiritual instructors–for all that you could not have several fathers. It is I who in Christ Jesus became your father through the Good News.
wmth@1Corinthians:4:16 @ I entreat you therefore to become like me.
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:5:4 @ 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:5:8 @ 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:5:10 @ 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:6:4 @ If therefore you have things belonging to this life which need to be decided, is it men who are absolutely nothing in the Church–is it whom you make your judges?
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:6:6 @ but brother goes to law with brother, and that before unbelievers?
wmth@1Corinthians:6:7 @ To say no more, then, it is altogether a defect in you that you have law-suits with one another. Why not rather endure injustice? Why not rather submit to being defrauded?
wmth@1Corinthians:6:9 @ Do you not know that unrighteous men will not inherit God's Kingdom? Cherish no delusion here. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor any who are guilty of unnatural crime,
wmth@1Corinthians:6:10 @ nor theives, nor avaricious people, nor any who are addicted to hard drinking, to abusive language or to greed of gain, will inherit God's Kingdom.
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:6:18 @ Flee from fornication. Any other sin that a human being commits lies outside the body; but he who commits fornication sins against his own body.
wmth@1Corinthians:6:20 @ And you are not your own, for you have been redeemed at infinite cost. Therefore glorify God in your bodies.
wmth@1Corinthians:7:1 @ I now deal with the subjects mentioned in your letter. It is well for a man to abstain altogether from marriage.
wmth@1Corinthians:7:2 @ But because there is so much fornication every man should have a wife of his own, and every woman should have a husband.
wmth@1Corinthians:7:3 @ Let a man pay his wife her due, and let a woman also pay her husband his.
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:7:10 @ But to those already married my instructions are –yet not mine, but the Lord's– that a wife is not to leave her husband;
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:7:24 @ Where each one stood when he was called, there, brethren, let him still stand–close to God.
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:7:38 @ So that he who gives his daughter in marriage does well, and yet he who does not give her in marriage will do better.
wmth@1Corinthians:7:39 @ A woman is bound to her husband during the whole period that he lives; but if her husband dies, she is at liberty to marry whom she will, provided that he is a Christian.
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:8:4 @ 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:8:5 @ For if so-called gods do exist, either in Heaven or on earth –and in fact there are many such gods and many such lords–
wmth@1Corinthians:8:6 @ yet have but one God, the Father, who is the source of all things and for whose service we exist, and but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom we and all things exist.
wmth@1Corinthians:8:8 @ It is true that a particular kind of food will not bring us into God's presence; we are neither inferior to others if we abstain from it, nor superior to them if we eat it.
wmth@1Corinthians:8:11 @ Why, your knowledge becomes the ruin of the weak believer–your brother, for whom Christ died!
wmth@1Corinthians:8:13 @ Therefore if what I eat causes my brother to fall, never again to the end of my days will I touch any kind of animal food, for fear I should cause my brother to fall.
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:9:7 @ 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:9:18 @ 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:9:27 @ but I hit hard and straight at my own body and lead it off into slavery, lest possibly, after I have been a herald to others, I should myself be rejected.
wmth@1Corinthians:10:1 @ For I would have you remember, brethren, how our forefathers were all of them sheltered by the cloud, and all got safely through the Red Sea.
wmth@1Corinthians:10:14 @ Therefore, my dear friends, avoid all connection with the worship of idols.
wmth@1Corinthians:10:17 @ Since there is one loaf, we who are many are one body; we, all of us, share in that one loaf.
wmth@1Corinthians:10:20 @ No, but that which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, not to God; and I would not have you have fellowship with one another through the demons.
wmth@1Corinthians:10:23 @ Everything is allowable, but not everything is profitable. Everything is allowable, but everything does not build others up.
wmth@1Corinthians:10:31 @ Whether, then, you are eating or drinking, or whatever you are doing, let everything be done to the glory of God.
wmth@1Corinthians:10:32 @ Do not be causes of stumbling either to Jews or to Gentiles, nor to the Church of God.
wmth@1Corinthians:11:3 @ I would have you know, however, that of every man, Christ is the Head, that of a woman her husband is the Head, and that God is Christ's Head.
wmth@1Corinthians:11:5 @ but a woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her Head, for it is exactly the same as if she had her hair cut short.
wmth@1Corinthians:11:6 @ If a woman will not wear a veil, let her also cut off her hair. But since it is a dishonor to a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, let her wear a veil.
wmth@1Corinthians:11:8 @ Man does not take his origin from woman, but woman takes hers from man.
wmth@1Corinthians:11:10 @ That is why a woman ought to have on her head a symbol of subjection, because of the angels.
wmth@1Corinthians:11:15 @ but that if a woman has long hair it is her glory, because her hair was given her for a covering?
wmth@1Corinthians:11:17 @ But while giving you these instructions, there is one thing I cannot praise–your meeting together, with bad rather than good results.
wmth@1Corinthians:11:18 @ for, in the first place, when you meet as a Church, there are divisions among you. This is what I am told, and I believe that there is some truth in it.
wmth@1Corinthians:11:19 @ For there must of necessity be differences of opinion among you, in order that it may be plainly seen who are the men of sterling worth among you.
wmth@1Corinthians:11:20 @ When, however, you meet in one place, there is no eating the Supper of the Lord;
wmth@1Corinthians:11:21 @ for it is his own supper of which each of you is in a hurry to partake, and one eats like a hungry man, while another has already drunk to excess.
wmth@1Corinthians:11:27 @ Whoever, therefore, in an unworthy manner, eats the bread or drinks from the cup of the Lord sins against the body and blood of the Lord.
wmth@1Corinthians:11:33 @ Therefore, brethren, when you come together for this meal, wait for one another.
wmth@1Corinthians:11:34 @ If any one is hungry, let him eat at home; so that your coming together may not lead to judgement. The other matters I will deal with whenever I come.
wmth@1Corinthians:12:2 @ You know that when you were heathens you went astray after dumb idols, wherever you happened to be led.
wmth@1Corinthians:12:4 @ Now there are various kinds of gifts, but there is one and the same Spirit;
wmth@1Corinthians:12:8 @ To one the utterance of wisdom has been granted through the Spirit; to another the utterance of knowledge in accordance with the will of the same Spirit;
wmth@1Corinthians:12:9 @ to a third man, by means of the same Spirit, special faith; to another various gifts of healing, by means of the one Spirit;
wmth@1Corinthians:12:10 @ to another the exercise of miraculous powers; to another the gift of prophecy; to another the power of discriminating between prophetic utterances; to another varieties of the gift of `tongues;' to another the interpretation of tongues.
wmth@1Corinthians:12:13 @ For, in fact, in one Spirit all of us –whether we are Jews or Gentiles, slaves or free men– were baptized to form but one body; and we were all nourished by that one Spirit.
wmth@1Corinthians:12:17 @ If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the nostrils be?
wmth@1Corinthians:12:19 @ If they were all one part, where would the body be?
wmth@1Corinthians:12:20 @ But, as a matter of fact, there are many parts and but one body.
wmth@1Corinthians:12:22 @ No, it is quite otherwise. Even those parts of the body which are apparently somewhat feeble are yet indispensable;
wmth@1Corinthians:12:25 @ that there might be no disunion in the body, but that all the members might entertain the same anxious care for one another's welfare.
wmth@1Corinthians:12:26 @ And if one part is suffering, every other part suffers with it; or if one part is receiving special honor, every other part shares in the joy.
wmth@1Corinthians:12:28 @ And by God's appointment there are in the Church–first Apostles, secondly Prophets, thirdly teachers. Then come miraculous powers, and then ability to cure diseases or render loving service, or powers of organization, or varieties of the gift of `tongues.'
wmth@1Corinthians:12:29 @ Are all Apostles? Are all Prophets? Are all teachers?
wmth@1Corinthians:12:31 @ But always seek to excel in the greater gifts. And now I will point out to you a way of life which transcends all others.
wmth@1Corinthians:13:4 @ 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:13:13 @ And so there remain Faith, Hope, Love–these three; and of these the greatest is Love.
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:14:8 @ If the bugle –to take another example– gives an uncertain sound, who will prepare for battle?
wmth@1Corinthians:14:10 @ There are, we will suppose, a great number of languages in the world, and no creature is without a language.
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:14:16 @ Otherwise, if you bless God in spirit only, how shall he who is in the position of an ungifted man say the `Amen' to your giving of thanks, when he does not know what your words mean?
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:14:23 @ 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:14:24 @ If, on the other hand, every one is prophesying and an unbeliever or an ungifted man comes in, he is convicted by all and closely examined by all,
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:14:27 @ If there is speaking in an unknown tongue, only two or at the most three should speak, and they should do so one at a time, and one should interpret;
wmth@1Corinthians:14:28 @ or if there is no interpreter, let the man with the gift be silent in the Church, speaking to himself and to God.
wmth@1Corinthians:14:29 @ But if there are Prophets, let two or three speak and let the rest judge.
wmth@1Corinthians:14:30 @ And if anything is revealed to some one else who is seated there, let the first be silent.
wmth@1Corinthians:15:11 @ But whether it is I or they, this is the way we preach and the way that you came to believe.
wmth@1Corinthians:15:12 @ But if Christ is preached as having risen from the dead, how is it that some of you say that there is no such thing as a resurrection of the dead?
wmth@1Corinthians:15:13 @ If there is no such thing as a resurrection of the dead, then Christ Himself has not risen to life.
wmth@1Corinthians:15:24 @ Later on, comes the End, when He is to surrender the Kingship to God, the Father, when He shall have overthrown all other government and all other authority and power.
wmth@1Corinthians:15:29 @ Otherwise what will become of those who got themselves baptized for the dead? If the dead do not rise at all, why are these baptized for them?
wmth@1Corinthians:15:39 @ All flesh is not the same: there is human flesh, and flesh of cattle, of birds, and of fishes.
wmth@1Corinthians:15:40 @ There are bodies which are celestial and there are bodies which are earthly, but the glory of the celestial ones is one thing, and that of the earthly ones is another.
wmth@1Corinthians:15:41 @ There is one glory of the sun, another of the moon, and another of the stars; for star differs from star in glory.
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:15:50 @ But this I tell you, brethren: our mortal bodies cannot inherit the Kingdom of God, nor will what is perishable inherit what is imperishable.
wmth@1Corinthians:15:51 @ I tell you a truth hitherto kept secret: we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
wmth@1Corinthians:15:58 @ Therefore, my dear brethren, be firm, unmovable, busily occupied at all times in the Lord's work, knowing that your toil is not fruitless in the Lord.
