wmth@Acts:28:30 @ After this Paul lived for fully two years in a hired house of his own, receiving all who came to see him.

wmth@Acts:28:31 @ He announced the coming of the Kingdom of God, and taught concerning the Lord Jesus Christ without let or hindrance.

wmth@Romans:1:1 @ Paul, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, called to be an Apostle, set apart to proclaim God's Good News,

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:1:7 @ 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:1:8 @ 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:1:17 @ 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:1:20 @ For, from the very creation of the world, His invisible perfections –namely His eternal power and divine nature– have been rendered intelligible and clearly visible by His works, so that these men are without excuse.

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:1:25 @ 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:1:26 @ 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: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:2:5 @ 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:2:8 @ 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:2:13 @ It is not those that merely hear the Law read who are righteous in the sight of God, but it is those that obey the Law who will be pronounced righteous.

wmth@Romans:2:15 @ 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:2:20 @ 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:2:21 @ you then who teach your fellow man, do you refuse to teach yourself? You who cry out against stealing, are you yourself a thief?

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

wmth@Romans:2:26 @ In the same way if an uncircumcised man pays attention to the just requirements of the Law, shall not his lack of circumcision be overlooked, and,

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:3:2 @ The privilege is great from every point of view. First of all, because the Jews were entrusted with God's truth.

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:3:5 @ But if our unrighteousness sets God's righteousness in a clearer light, what shall we say? (Is God unrighteous –I speak in our everyday language– when He inflicts punishment?

wmth@Romans:3:7 @ 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:3:8 @ And why should we not say –for so they wickedly misrepresent us, and so some charge us with arguing– »Let us do evil that good may come«? The condemnation of those who would so argue is just.

wmth@Romans:3:10 @ Thus it stands written, »There is not one righteous man.

wmth@Romans:3:20 @ For on the ground of obedience to Law no man living will be declared righteous before Him. Law simply brings a sure knowledge of sin.

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:3:22 @ a righteousness coming from God, which depends on faith in Jesus Christ and extends to all who believe. No distinction is made;

wmth@Romans:3:23 @ for all alike have sinned, and all consciously come short of the glory of God,

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:3:26 @ with a view to demonstrating, at the present time, His righteousness, that He may be shown to be righteous Himself, and the giver of righteousness to those who believe in Jesus.

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:4:2 @ 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:4:5 @ 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:4:6 @ In this way David also tells of the blessedness of the man to whose credit God places righteousness, apart from his actions.

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:4:13 @ 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:4:14 @ For if it is the righteous through Law who are heirs, then faith is useless and the promise counts for nothing.

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:4:24 @ 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:5:5 @ 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:5:7 @ 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:5:8 @ But God gives proof of His love to us in Christ's dying for us while we were still sinners.

wmth@Romans:5:11 @ And not only so, but we also exult in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now obtained that reconciliation.

wmth@Romans:5:13 @ 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:5:15 @ 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:5:17 @ 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:5:21 @ 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:6:1 @ To what conclusion, then, shall we come? Are we to persist in sinning in order that the grace extended to us may be the greater?

wmth@Romans:6:3 @ And do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?

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:6:9 @ because we know that Christ, having come back to life, is no longer liable to die.

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:6:15 @ 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:6:18 @ You were set free from the tyranny of Sin, and became the bondservants of 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:6:20 @ For when you were the bondservants of sin, you were under no sort of subjection to Righteousness.

wmth@Romans:6:23 @ For the wages paid by Sin are death; but God's free gift is the Life of the Ages bestowed upon us in Christ Jesus our Lord.

wmth@Romans:7:2 @ A wife, for instance, whose husband is living is bound to him by the Law; but if her husband dies the law that bound her to him has now no hold over her.

wmth@Romans:7:3 @ This accounts for the fact that if during her husband's life she lives with another man, she will be stigmatized as an adulteress; but that if her husband is dead she is no longer under the old prohibition, and even though she marries again, she is not an adulteress.

wmth@Romans:7:5 @ 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:7:12 @ So that the Law itself is holy, and the Commandment is holy, just and good.

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:7:25 @ Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord!) To sum up then, with my understanding, I –my true self– am in servitude to the Law of God, but with my lower nature I am in servitude to the Law of sin.

wmth@Romans:8:1 @ There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus;

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:8:6 @ Because for the mind to be given up to earthly things means death; but for it to be given up to spiritual things means Life and peace.

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

wmth@Romans:8:11 @ And if the Spirit of Him who raised up Jesus from the dead is dwelling in you, He who raised up Christ from the dead will give Life also to your mortal bodies because of His Spirit who dwells in you.

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:8:23 @ 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:8:26 @ In the same way the Spirit also helps us in our weakness; for we do not know what prayers to offer nor in what way to offer them. But the Spirit Himself pleads for us in yearnings that can find no words,

wmth@Romans:8:27 @ 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:8:31 @ What then shall we say to this? If God is on our side, who is there to appear against us?

wmth@Romans:8:32 @ He who did not withhold even His own Son, but gave Him up for all of us, will He not also with Him freely give us all things?

wmth@Romans: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:8:35 @ Who shall separate us from Christ's love? Shall affliction or distress, persecution or hunger, nakedness or danger or the sword?

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

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:9:4 @ 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:9:7 @ nor because they are Abraham's true children. But the promise was

wmth@Romans:9:9 @ For the words are the language of promise and run thus,

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:9:14 @ What then are we to infer? That there is injustice in God?

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

wmth@Romans:9:30 @ To what conclusion does this bring us? Why, that the Gentiles, who were not in pursuit of righteousness, have overtaken it–a righteousness, however, which arises from faith;

wmth@Romans:9:31 @ while the descendants of Israel, who were in pursuit of a Law that could give righteousness, have not arrived at one.

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:10:3 @ Ignorant of the righteousness which God provides and building their hopes upon a righteousness of their own, they have refused submission to God's righteousness.

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

wmth@Romans:10:5 @ Moses says that he whose actions conform to the righteousness required by the Law shall live by that righteousness.

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:10:10 @ For with the heart men believe and obtain righteousness, and with the mouth they make confession and obtain salvation.

wmth@Romans:11:7 @ How then does the matter stand? It stands thus. That which Israel are in earnest pursuit of, they have not obtained; but God's chosen servants have obtained it, and the rest have become hardened.

wmth@Romans:11:11 @ I ask, however, »Have they stumbled so as to be finally ruined?« No, indeed; but by their lapse salvation has come to the Gentiles in order to arouse the jealousy of the descendants of Israel;

wmth@Romans:11:14 @ trying whether I can succeed in rousing my own countrymen to jealousy and thus save some of them.

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:11:33 @ Oh, how inexhaustible are God's resources and God's wisdom and God's knowledge! How impossible it is to search into His decrees or trace His footsteps!

wmth@Romans:12:2 @ And do not follow the customs of the present age, but be transformed by the entire renewal of your minds, so that you may learn by experience what God's will is–that will which is good and beautiful and perfect.

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

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

wmth@Romans:12:6 @ But since we have special gifts which differ in accordance with the diversified work graciously entrusted to us, if it is prophecy, let the prophet speak in exact proportion to his faith;

wmth@Romans:12:8 @ 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: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:13:11 @ Carry out these injunctions because you know the critical period at which we are living, and that it is now high time, to rouse yourselves from sleep; for salvation is now nearer to us than when we first became believers.

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:13:14 @ On the contrary, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for gratifying your earthly cravings.

wmth@Romans:14:7 @ For not one of us lives to himself, and not one dies to himself.

wmth@Romans:14:12 @ So we see that every one of us will give account of himself to God.

wmth@Romans:14:13 @ Therefore let us no longer judge one another; but, instead of that, you should come to this judgement–that we must not put a stumbling-block in our brother's path, nor anything to trip him up.

wmth@Romans:14:14 @ As one who lives in union with the Lord Jesus, I know and am certain that in its own nature no food is `impure'; but if people regard any food as impure, to them it is.

wmth@Romans:14:19 @ Therefore let us aim at whatever makes for peace and mutual upbuilding of character.

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:15:5 @ 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:15:13 @ May God, the giver of hope, fill you with continual joy and peace because you trust in Him–so that you may have abundant hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.

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:15:17 @ I can therefore glory in Christ Jesus concerning the work for God in which I am engaged.

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:15:25 @ But at present I am going to Jerusalem to serve God's people,

wmth@Romans:15:26 @ for Macedonia and Greece have kindly contributed a certain sum in relief of the poor among God's people, in Jerusalem.

wmth@Romans:15:30 @ But I entreat you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love which His Spirit inspires, to help me by wrestling in prayer to God on my behalf,

wmth@Romans: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:16:3 @ Greetings to Prisca and Aquila my fellow labourers in the work of Christ Jesus–

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:16:7 @ and to Andronicus and Junia, my countrymen, who once shared my imprisonment. They are of note among the Apostles, and are Christians of longer standing than myself.

wmth@Romans:16:8 @ Greetings to Ampliatus, dear to me in the Lord;

wmth@Romans:16:10 @ Greetings to Apella, that veteran believer; and to the members of the household of Aristobulus.

wmth@Romans:16:11 @ Greetings to my countryman, Herodion; and to the believing members of the household of Narcissus.

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:16:17 @ But I beseech you, brethren, to keep a watch on those who are causing the divisions among you, and are leading others into sin, in defiance of the instruction which you have received; and habitually to shun them.

wmth@Romans:16:18 @ For men of that stamp are not bondservants of Christ our Lord, but are slaves to their own appetites; and by their plausible words and their flattery they utterly deceive the minds of the simple.

wmth@Romans:16:20 @ And before long, God the giver of peace will crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you!

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

wmth@Romans:16:22 @ I, Tertius, who write this letter, send you Christian greetings.

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:16:27 @ to God, the only wise, through Jesus Christ, even to Him be the glory through all the Ages! Amen.

wmth@1Corinthians:1:1 @ Paul, called to be an Apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God–and our brother Sosthenes:

wmth@1Corinthians:1:2 @ 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:1:3 @ May grace and peace be granted to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

wmth@1Corinthians:1:4 @ I thank my God continually on your behalf for the grace of God bestowed on you in Christ Jesus–

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

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:1:8 @ 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:1:10 @ 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:1:14 @ I thank God that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius–

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

wmth@1Corinthians:1:25 @ Because that which the world deems foolish in God is wiser than men's wisdom, and that which it deems feeble in God is mightier than men's might.

wmth@1Corinthians:1:30 @ But you –and it is all God's doing– are in Christ Jesus: He has become for us a wisdom which is from God, consisting of righteousness and sanctification and deliverance;

wmth@1Corinthians:2:2 @ 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:2:5 @ so that your trust might rest not on the wisdom of man but on the power of God.

wmth@1Corinthians:2:7 @ But in dealing with truths hitherto kept secret we speak of God's wisdom–that hidden wisdom which, before the world began, God pre-destined, so that it should result in glory to us;

wmth@1Corinthians:2:9 @ But –to use the words of Scripture– we speak of and which have never entered the heart of man:

wmth@1Corinthians:2:10 @ 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:2:12 @ But we have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which comes forth from God, that we may know the blessings that have been so freely given to us by God.

wmth@1Corinthians:2:13 @ Of these we speak –not in language which man's wisdom teaches us, but in that which the Spirit teaches– adapting, as we do, spiritual words to spiritual truths.

wmth@1Corinthians:2:14 @ The unspiritual man rejects the things of the Spirit of God, and cannot attain to the knowledge of them, because they are spiritually judged.

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:3:10 @ 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:3:13 @ 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: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:4:8 @ 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:4:13 @ 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:4:15 @ 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: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:5:5 @ I have handed over such a man to Satan for the destruction of his body, that his spirit may be saved on the day of the 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:5:12 @ For what business of mine is it to judge outsiders? Is it not for you to judge those who are within the Church

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:6:7 @ 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:6:8 @ On the contrary you yourselves inflict injustice and fraud, and upon brethren too.

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:6:11 @ 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: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:7:6 @ Thus much in the way of concession, not of command.

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:7:13 @ 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:7:26 @ 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:7:31 @ 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:7:35 @ Thus much I say in your own interest; not to lay a trap for you, but to help towards what is becoming, and enable you to wait on the Lord without distraction.

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: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:8:6 @ 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:8:12 @ Moreover when you thus sin against the brethren and wound their weak consciences, you are, in reality, sinning against Christ.

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:9:1 @ Am I not free? Am I not an Apostle? Can it be denied that I have seen Jesus, our Lord? Are not you yourselves my work in the Lord?

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:9:8 @ Am I making use of merely worldly illustrations? Does not the Law speak in the same tone?

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:9:15 @ 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:9:17 @ 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:9:24 @ Do you not know that in the foot-race the runners all run, but that only one gets the prize? You must run like him, in order to win with certainty.

wmth@1Corinthians:9:25 @ But every competitor in an athletic contest practices abstemiousness in all directions. They indeed do this for the sake of securing a perishable wreath, but we for the sake of securing one that will not perish.

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:10:11 @ All this kept happening to them with a figurative meaning; but it was put on record by way of admonition to us upon whom the ends of the Ages have come.

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:10:22 @ Or are we actually arousing the Lord to jealousy. Are we stronger than He is?

wmth@1Corinthians:10:32 @ Do not be causes of stumbling either to Jews or to Gentiles, nor to the Church of God.

wmth@1Corinthians:11:2 @ Now I commend you for remembering me in everything, and because you hold fast truths and practices precisely as I have taught them to you.

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:11:10 @ That is why a woman ought to have on her head a symbol of subjection, because of the angels.

wmth@1Corinthians:11:12 @ For just as woman originates from man, so also man comes into existence through woman, but everything springs originally from God.

wmth@1Corinthians:11:15 @ but that if a woman has long hair it is her glory, because her hair was given her for a covering?

wmth@1Corinthians:11:16 @ But if any one is inclined to be contentious on the point, we have no such custom, nor have the Churches of God.

wmth@1Corinthians:11:19 @ 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:11:23 @ For it was from the Lord that I received the facts which, in turn, I handed on to you; how that the Lord Jesus, on the night He was to be betrayed, took some bread,

wmth@1Corinthians:11:32 @ But when we are judged by the Lord, chastisement follows, to save us from being condemned along with the world.

wmth@1Corinthians:12:3 @ For this reason I would have you understand that no one speaking under the influence of The Spirit of God ever says, »Jesus is accursed,« and that no one is able to say, »Jesus is Lord,« except under the influence of the Holy Spirit.

wmth@1Corinthians:12:4 @ Now there are various kinds of gifts, but there is one and the same Spirit;

wmth@1Corinthians:12:5 @ various forms of official service, and yet one and the same Lord;

wmth@1Corinthians:12:7 @ But to each of us a manifestation of the Spirit has been granted for the common good.

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:12:11 @ But these results are all brought about by one and the same Spirit, who bestows His gifts upon each of us in accordance with His own will.

wmth@1Corinthians:12:12 @ For just as the human body is one and yet has many parts, and all its parts, many as they are, constitute but one body, so it is with the Church of Christ.

wmth@1Corinthians:12:13 @ For, in fact, in one Spirit all of us –whether we are Jews or Gentiles, slaves or free men– were baptized to form but one body; and we were all nourished by that one Spirit.

wmth@1Corinthians:12:15 @ Were the foot to say, »Because I am not a hand I am not a part of the body,« that would not make it any the less a part of the body.

wmth@1Corinthians:12:16 @ Or were the ear to say, »Because I am not an eye, I am not a part of the body,« that would not make it any the less a part of the body.

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:12:28 @ 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:12:30 @ Have all miraculous powers? Have all ability to cure diseases? Do all speak in `tongues'? Do all interpret?

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:13:6 @ She finds no pleasure in injustice done to others, but joyfully sides with the truth.

wmth@1Corinthians:13:7 @ She knows how to be silent. She is full of trust, full of hope, full of patient endurance.

wmth@1Corinthians:14:1 @ Be eager in your pursuit of this Love, and be earnestly ambitious for spiritual gifts, but let it be chiefly so in order that you may prophesy.

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

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:14:34 @ 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:14:39 @ The conclusion, my brethren, is this. Be earnestly ambitious to prophesy, and do not check speaking with tongues;

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:15:14 @ 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:15:15 @ Nay more, we are actually being discovered to be bearing false witness about God, because we have testified that God raised Christ to life, whom He did not raise, if in reality none of the dead are raised.

wmth@1Corinthians:15:22 @ For just as through Adam all die, so also through Christ all will be made alive again.

wmth@1Corinthians:15:25 @ For He must continue King until He shall have put all His enemies under His feet.

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:15:49 @ 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:15:53 @ For so it must be: this perishable nature must clothe itself with what is imperishable, and this mortality must clothe itself with immortality.

wmth@1Corinthians:15:57 @ but God be thanked who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!

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.

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:16:3 @ And when I am with you, whatever brethren you accredit by letter I will send to carry your kind gift to Jerusalem.

wmth@1Corinthians:16:8 @ I shall remain in Ephesus, however, until the time of the Harvest Festival,

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:16:15 @ 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:16:19 @ 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@1Corinthians:16:23 @ The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you.

wmth@1Corinthians:16:24 @ My love in Christ Jesus be with you all.

wmth@2Corinthians:1:1 @ Paul, an Apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God–and our brother Timothy: To the Church of God in Corinth, with all God's people throughout Greece.

wmth@2Corinthians:1:2 @ May grace and peace be granted to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

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:1:4 @ He comforts us in our every affliction so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any kind of affliction by means of the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

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:1:7 @ 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:1:10 @ He it is who rescued us from so imminent a death, and will do so again; and we have a firm hope in Him that He will also rescue us in all the future,

wmth@2Corinthians:1:11 @ while you on your part lend us your aid in entreaty for us, so that from many lips thanksgivings may rise on our behalf for the boon granted to us at the intercession of many.

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:1:19 @ For Jesus Christ the Son of God –He who was proclaimed among you by us, that is by Silas and Timothy and myself– did not show Himself a waverer between »Yes« and »No.« But it was and always is »Yes« with Him.

wmth@2Corinthians:1:21 @ But He who is making us as well as you stedfast through union with the Anointed One, and has anointed us, is God,

wmth@2Corinthians:1:22 @ 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: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:2:11 @ for fear Satan should gain an advantage over us. For we are not ignorant of his devices.

wmth@2Corinthians:2:13 @ yet, obtaining no relief for my spirit because I did not find our brother Titus, I bade them farewell and went on into Macedonia.

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:3:6 @ 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:3:7 @ If, however, the service that proclaims death –its code being engraved in writing upon stones– came with glory, so that the children of Israel could not look steadily on the face of Moses because of the brightness of his face–a vanishing brightness;

wmth@2Corinthians:3:8 @ will not the service of the Spirit be far more glorious?

wmth@2Corinthians:3:9 @ For if the service which pronounces doom had glory, far more glorious still is the service which tells of righteousness.

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:3:14 @ Nay, their minds were made dull; for to this very day during the reading of the book of the ancient Covenant, the same veil remains unlifted, because it is only in Christ that it is to be abolished.

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:4:5 @ (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:4:10 @ always, wherever we go, carrying with us in our bodies the putting to death of Jesus, so that in our bodies it may also be clearly shown that Jesus lives.

wmth@2Corinthians:4:11 @ For we, alive though we are, are continually surrendering ourselves to death for the sake of Jesus, so that in this mortal nature of ours it may also be clearly shown that Jesus lives.

wmth@2Corinthians:4:12 @ Thus we are constantly dying, while you are in full enjoyment of Life.

wmth@2Corinthians:4:14 @ For we know that He who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead will raise us also to be with Jesus, and will cause both us and you to stand in His own presence.

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:4:17 @ 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:5:2 @ For in this one we sigh, because we long to put on over it our dwelling which comes from Heaven–

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:5:10 @ 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:5:11 @ Therefore, because we realize how greatly the Lord is to be feared, we are endeavouring to win men over, and God recognizes what our motives are, and I hope that you, in your hearts, recognize them too.

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:5:18 @ 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:5:21 @ 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:6:3 @ We endeavour to give people no cause for stumbling in anything, lest the work we are doing should fall into discredit.

wmth@2Corinthians:6:7 @ by the proclamation of the truth, by the power of God; by the weapons of righteousness, wielded in both hands;

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:7:1 @ Having therefore these promises, beloved friends, let us purify ourselves from all defilement of body and of spirit, and secure perfect holiness through the fear of God.

wmth@2Corinthians:7:2 @ Make room for us in your hearts. There is not one of you whom we have wronged, not one to whom we have done harm, not one over whom we have gained any selfish advantage.

wmth@2Corinthians:7:6 @ But He who comforts the depressed –even God– comforted us by the coming of Titus, and not by his coming only,

wmth@2Corinthians:7:7 @ but also by the fact that he had felt comforted on your account, and by the report which he brought of your eager affection, of your grief, and of your jealousy on my behalf, so that I rejoiced more than ever.

wmth@2Corinthians:7:9 @ Now I rejoice, not in your grief, but because the grief led to repentance; for you sorrowed with a godly sorrow, which prevented you from receiving injury from us in any respect.

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:7:15 @ And his strong and tender affection is all the more drawn out towards you when he recalls to mind the obedience which all of you manifested by the timidity and nervous anxiety with which you welcomed him.

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:8:4 @ With earnest entreaty they begged from us the favour of being allowed to share in the service now being rendered to God's people.

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:8:16 @ But thanks be to God that He inspires the heart of Titus with the same deep interest in you;

wmth@2Corinthians:8:17 @ for Titus welcomed our request, and, being thoroughly in earnest, comes to you of his own free will.

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:8:20 @ For against one thing we are on our guard–I mean against blame being thrown upon us in respect to these large and liberal contributions which are under our charge.

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:9:4 @ for fear that, if any Macedonians come with me and find you unprepared, we –not to say you yourselves– should be put to the blush in respect to this confidence.

wmth@2Corinthians:9:10 @ And God who continually supplies seed for the sower and bread for eating, will supply you with seed and multiply it, and will cause your almsgiving to yield a plentiful harvest.

wmth@2Corinthians:9:12 @ For the service rendered in this sacred gift not only helps to relieve the wants of God's people, but it is also rich in its results and awakens a chorus of thanksgiving to God.

wmth@2Corinthians:9:13 @ For, by the practical proof of it which you exhibit in this service, you cause God to be extolled for your fidelity to your professed adherence to the Good News of the Christ, and for the liberality of your contributions for them and for all who are in need,

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:9:15 @ Thanks be to God for His unspeakably precious gift!

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:10:13 @ 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:11:2 @ I am jealous over you with God's own jealousy. For I have betrothed you to Christ to present you to Him like a faithful bride to her one husband.

wmth@2Corinthians:11:4 @ If indeed some visitor is proclaiming among you another Jesus whom we did not proclaim, or if you are receiving a Spirit different from the One you have already received or a Good News different from that which you have already welcomed, your toleration is admirable!

wmth@2Corinthians:11:11 @ And why? Because I do not love you? God knows that I do.

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:11:15 @ 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:11:21 @ 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:11:30 @ If boast I must, it shall be of things which display my weakness.

wmth@2Corinthians:11:31 @ The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ –He who is blessed throughout the Ages– knows that I am speaking the truth.

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: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:12:10 @ 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:12:16 @ 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:12:18 @ I begged Titus to visit you, and sent our other brother with him. Did Titus gain any selfish advantage over you? Were not he and I guided by one and the same Spirit, and did we not walk in the same steps?

wmth@2Corinthians:12:20 @ For I am afraid that perhaps when I come I may not find you to be what I desire, and that you may find me to be what you do not desire; that perhaps there may be contention, jealousy, bitter feeling, party spirit, ill-natured talk, backbiting, undue eulogy, unrest;

wmth@2Corinthians:13:5 @ Test yourselves to discover whether you are true believers: put your own selves under examination. Or do you not know that Jesus Christ is within you, unless you are insincere?

wmth@2Corinthians:13:6 @ But I trust that you will recognize that we are not insincere.

wmth@2Corinthians:13:9 @ and it is a joy to us when we are powerless, but you are strong. This we also pray for–the perfecting of your characters.

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@2Corinthians:13:14 @ May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all.

wmth@Galatians:1:1 @ Paul, an Apostle sent not from men nor by any man, but by Jesus Christ and by God the Father, who raised Jesus from among the dead–

wmth@Galatians:1:3 @ May grace and peace be granted to you from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,

wmth@Galatians:1:4 @ who gave Himself to suffer for our sins in order to rescue us from the present wicked age in accordance with the will of our God and Father.

wmth@Galatians:1:9 @ What I have just said I repeat–if any one is preaching to you a Good News other than that which you originally received, let him be accursed.

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:1:13 @ For you have heard of my early career in Judaism–how I furiously persecuted the Church of God, and made havoc of it;

wmth@Galatians:1:14 @ and how in devotion to Judaism I outstripped many men of my own age among my people, being far more zealous than they on behalf of the traditions of my forefathers.

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:1:18 @ Then, three years later, I went up to Jerusalem to inquire for Peter, and I spent a fortnight with him.

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:2:3 @ 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:2:11 @ Now when Peter visited Antioch, I remonstrated with him to his face, because he had incurred just censure.

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:2:14 @ 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:2:16 @ know that it is not through obedience to Law that a man can be declared free from guilt, but only through faith in Jesus Christ. We have therefore believed in Christ Jesus, for the purpose of being declared free from guilt, through faith in Christ and not through obedience to Law. For through obedience to Law no human being shall be declared free from guilt.

wmth@Galatians:2:17 @ But if while we are seeking in Christ acquittal from guilt we ourselves are convicted of sin, Christ then encourages us to sin! No, indeed.

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:3:2 @ Answer me this one question, »Is it on the ground of your obedience to the Law that you received the Spirit, or is it because, when you heard, you believed?«

wmth@Galatians:3:11 @ It is evident, too, that no one can find acceptance with God simply by obeying the Law, because

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:3:18 @ 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:3:21 @ God, however, is only one. Is the Law then opposed to the promises of God? No, indeed; for if a Law had been given which could have conferred Life, righteousness would certainly have come by the Law.

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:3:24 @ 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:3:26 @ You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus;

wmth@Galatians:3:28 @ In Him the distinctions between Jew and Gentile, slave and free man, male and female, disappear; you are all one in Christ Jesus.

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

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:4:14 @ 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:4:18 @ It is always an honourable thing to be courted in an honourable cause; always, and not only when I am with you, my children–

wmth@Galatians:4:25 @ This is Hagar; for the name Hagar stands for Mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to the present Jerusalem, which is in bondage together with her children.

wmth@Galatians:4:26 @ But the Jerusalem which is above is free, and is mother.

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:5:6 @ For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision is of any importance; but only faith working through love.

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

wmth@Galatians:5:13 @ You however, brethren, were called to freedom. Only do not turn your freedom into an excuse for giving way to your lower natures; but become bondservants to one another in a spirit of love.

wmth@Galatians:5:17 @ For the cravings of the lower nature are opposed to those of the Spirit, and the cravings of the Spirit are opposed to those of the lower nature; because these are antagonistic to each other, so that you cannot do everything to which you are inclined.

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:5:26 @ Let us not become vain-glorious, challenging one another, envying one another.

wmth@Galatians:6:9 @ Let us not abate our courage in doing what is right; for in due time we shall reap a reward, if we do not faint.

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@Galatians:6:18 @ May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirits, brethren. Amen.

wmth@Ephesians:1:1 @ Paul, an Apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God: To God's people who are in Ephesus–believers in Christ Jesus.

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:1:8 @ the grace which He, the possessor of all wisdom and understanding, lavished upon us,

wmth@Ephesians:1:9 @ when He made known to us the secret of His will. And this is in harmony with God's merciful purpose

wmth@Ephesians:1:12 @ so that we should be devoted to the extolling of His glorious attributes–we who were the first to fix our hopes on Christ.

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:1:17 @ For I always beseech the God of our Lord Jesus Christ –the Father most glorious– to give you a spirit of wisdom and penetration through an intimate knowledge of Him,

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:2:4 @ But God, being rich in mercy, because of the intense love which He bestowed on us,

wmth@Ephesians:2:5 @ caused us, dead though we were through our offences, to live with Christ –it is by grace that you have been saved–

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:2:7 @ in order that, by His goodness to us in Christ Jesus, He might display in the Ages to come the transcendent riches of His grace.

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:2:13 @ But now in Christ Jesus you who once were so far away have been brought near through the death of Christ.

wmth@Ephesians:2:16 @ thus effecting peace, and to reconcile Jews and Gentiles in one body to God, by means of His cross–slaying by it their mutual enmity.

wmth@Ephesians:2:18 @ because it is through Him that Jews and Gentiles alike have access through one Spirit to the Father.

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: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:3:6 @ 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:3:16 @ to grant you –in accordance with the wealth of His glorious perfections– to be strengthened by His Spirit with power penetrating to your inmost being.

wmth@Ephesians:3:20 @ Now to Him who, in exercise of His power that is at work within us, is able to do infinitely beyond all our highest prayers or thoughts–

wmth@Ephesians:3:21 @ to Him be the glory in the Church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, world without end! Amen.

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

wmth@Ephesians:4:13 @ till we all of us arrive at oneness in faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God, and at mature manhood and the stature of full-grown men in Christ.

wmth@Ephesians:4:14 @ So we shall no longer be babes nor shall we resemble mariners tossed on the waves and carried about with every changing wind of doctrine according to men's cleverness and unscrupulous cunning, making use of every shifting device to mislead.

wmth@Ephesians:5:13 @ But everything can be tested by the light and thus be shown in its true colors; for whatever shines of itself is light.

wmth@Ephesians:5:20 @ Always and for everything let your thanks to God the Father be presented in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;

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:5:27 @ that He might present the Church to Himself a glorious bride, without spot or wrinkle or any other defect, but to be holy and unblemished.

wmth@Philippians:2:14 @ Be ever on your guard against a grudging and contentious spirit,

wmth@Philippians:2:21 @ Everybody concerns himself about his own interests, not about those of Jesus Christ.

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:2:26 @ I send him because he is longing to see you all and is distressed at your having heard of his illness.

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:3:4 @ although I myself might have some excuse for confidence in outward ceremonies. If any one else claims a right to trust in them, far more may I:

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

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:3:9 @ not having a righteousness of my own, derived from the Law, but that which arises from faith in Christ–the righteousness which comes from God through faith.

wmth@Philippians:3:14 @ with my eyes fixed on the goal I push on to secure the prize of God's heavenward call in Christ Jesus.

wmth@Philippians:3:15 @ Therefore let all of us who are mature believers cherish these thoughts; and if in any respect you think differently, that also God will make clear to you.

wmth@Philippians:3:16 @ But whatever be the point that we have already reached, let us persevere in the same course.

wmth@Philippians:3:20 @ We, however, are free citizens of Heaven, and we are waiting with longing expectation for the coming from Heaven of a Saviour, the Lord Jesus 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:4:6 @ Do not be over-anxious about anything, but by prayer and earnest pleading, together with thanksgiving, let your request be unreservedly made known in the presence of God.

wmth@Philippians:4:7 @ And then the peace of God, which transcends all our powers of thought, will be a garrison to guard your hearts and minds in union with Christ Jesus.

wmth@Philippians:4:8 @ Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever wins respect, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovable, whatever is of good repute –if there is any virtue or anything deemed worthy of praise– cherish the thought of these things.

wmth@Philippians:4:16 @ because even in Thessalonica you sent several times to minister to my needs.

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@Philippians:4:19 @ But my God –so great is His wealth of glory in Christ Jesus– will fully supply every need of yours.

wmth@Philippians:4:22 @ All God's people here greet you–especially the members of Caesar's household.

wmth@Philippians:4:23 @ May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirits.

wmth@Colossians:1:1 @ Paul, an Apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God–and Timothy our brother:

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:1:4 @ because we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love which you cherish towards all God's people,

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

wmth@Colossians:1:11 @ Since His power is so glorious, may you be strengthened with strength of every kind, and be prepared for cheerfully enduring all things with patience and long-suffering;

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:1:17 @ And HE IS before all things and in and through Him the universe is a harmonious whole.

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:1:25 @ I have been appointed to serve the Church in the position of responsibility entrusted to me by God for your benefit, so that I may fully deliver God's Message–

wmth@Colossians:2:4 @ I say this to prevent your being misled by any one's plausible sophistry.

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:2:13 @ 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:2:22 @ referring to things which are all intended to be used up and perish–in obedience to mere human injunctions and teachings?

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:3:11 @ In that new creation there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free man, but Christ is everything and is in all of us.

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:3:17 @ And whatever you do, in word or in deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, and let it be through Him that you give thanks to God the Father.

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

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

wmth@Colossians:4:3 @ And pray at the same time for us also, that God may open for us a door for preaching, for us to tell the truth concerning Christ for the sake of which I am even a prisoner.

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:4:9 @ And with him I send our dear and trusty brother Onesimus, who is one of yourselves. They will inform you of everything here.

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:4:11 @ Jesus, called Justus, also sends greeting. These three are Hebrew converts. They alone among such have worked loyally with me for the Kingdom of God–they are men who have been a comfort to me.

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:4:15 @ 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:1:2 @ We continually give thanks to God because of you all, while we make mention of you in our prayers.

wmth@1Thessalonians:1:3 @ For we never fail to remember your works of faith and labours of love and your persistent and unwavering hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the presence of our God and Father;

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:1:9 @ For when others speak of us they report the reception we had from you, and how you turned from your idols to God, to be bondservants of the true and ever-living God,

wmth@1Thessalonians:1:10 @ and to await the return from Heaven of His Son, whom He raised from among the dead–even Jesus, our Deliverer from God's coming anger.

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:2:8 @ Seeing that we were thus drawn affectionately towards you, it would have been a joy to us to have imparted to you not only God's Good News, but to have given our very lives also, because you had become very dear to us.

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:3:6 @ 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:3:8 @ For now life is for us life indeed, since you are standing fast in the Lord.

wmth@1Thessalonians:3:11 @ But may our God and Father Himself –and our Lord Jesus– guide us on our way to you;

wmth@1Thessalonians:3:13 @ Thus He will build up your characters, so that you will be faultlessly holy in the presence of our God and Father at the Coming of our Lord Jesus with all His holy ones.

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:4:2 @ For you know the commands which we laid upon you by the authority of the Lord Jesus.

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

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

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:4:14 @ 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:5:6 @ So then let us not sleep, like the rest of the world, but let us keep awake and be sober.

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:5:14 @ And we exhort you, brethren, admonish the unruly, comfort the timid, sustain the weak, and be patient towards all.

wmth@1Thessalonians:5:18 @ In every circumstance of life be thankful; for this is God's will in Christ Jesus respecting you.

wmth@1Thessalonians:5:23 @ And may God Himself who gives peace, make you entirely holy; and may your spirits, souls and bodies be preserved complete and be found blameless at the Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

wmth@1Thessalonians:5:25 @ Brethren, pray for us.

wmth@1Thessalonians:5:28 @ May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

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:1:2 @ May grace and peace be granted to you from 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:1:6 @ A plain token of God's righteous judgement, I say, since it is a righteous thing for Him to requite with affliction those who are now afflicting you;

wmth@2Thessalonians:1:7 @ and to requite with rest you who are suffering affliction now–rest with us at the re-appearing of the Lord Jesus from Heaven, attended by His mighty angels.

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:1:9 @ They will pay the penalty of eternal destruction, being banished from the presence of the Lord and from His glorious majesty,

wmth@2Thessalonians:1:10 @ when He comes on that day to be glorified in His people and to be wondered at among all who have believed, including you–because you believed the testimony which we brought for your acceptance.

wmth@2Thessalonians:1:12 @ in order that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and that you may be glorified in Him–so wonderful is the grace of our God and of the Lord Jesus Christ!

wmth@2Thessalonians:2:1 @ But with respect to the Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to meet Him, we entreat you, brethren,

wmth@2Thessalonians:2:2 @ not readily to become unsettled in mind or troubled –either by any pretended spiritual revelation or by any message or letter claiming to have been sent by us– through fancying that the day of the Lord is now here.

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

wmth@2Thessalonians:2:8 @ and then the Lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will sweep away with the tempest of His anger, and utterly overwhelm by the awful splendour of His Coming.

wmth@2Thessalonians:2:9 @ The appearing of the Lawless one will be attended by various miracles and tokens and delusive marvels –for so Satan works–

wmth@2Thessalonians:2:10 @ and by every kind of wicked deception for those who are on the way to perdition because they did not welcome into their hearts the love of the truth, so that they might be saved.

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: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:3:6 @ But, by the authority of the Lord, we command you, brethren, to stand aloof from every brother whose life is disorderly and not in accordance with the teaching which all received from us.

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:3:11 @ For we hear that there are some of you who live disorderly lives and are mere idle busybodies.

wmth@2Thessalonians:3:12 @ To persons of that sort our injunction –and our command by the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ– is that they are to work quietly and eat their own honestly-earned bread.

wmth@2Thessalonians:3:13 @ But you, brethren, must not grow weary in the path of duty;

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:3:18 @ This is my handwriting. May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.

wmth@1Timothy:1:1 @ Paul, an Apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God our Saviour and Christ Jesus our hope:

wmth@1Timothy:1:2 @ To Timothy, my own true son in the faith. May grace, mercy and peace be granted to you from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

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:1:7 @ 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:1:8 @ Now we know that the Law is good, if a man uses it in the way it should be used,

wmth@1Timothy:1:9 @ and remembers that a law is not enacted to control a righteous man, but for the lawless and rebellious, the irreligious and sinful, the godless and profane–for those who strike their fathers or their mothers, for murderers,

wmth@1Timothy:1:11 @ and is not in accordance with the Good News of the blessed God with which I have been entrusted.

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:1:14 @ and the grace of our Lord came to me in overflowing fulness, conferring faith on me and the love which is in Christ Jesus.

wmth@1Timothy:1:15 @ Faithful is the saying, and deserving of universal acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; among whom I stand foremost.

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

wmth@1Timothy:2:5 @ For there is but one God and but one Mediator between God and men–Christ Jesus, Himself man;

wmth@1Timothy:2:12 @ I do not permit a woman to teach, nor have authority over a man, but she must remain silent.

wmth@1Timothy:2:15 @ Yet a woman will be brought safely through childbirth if she and her husband continue to live in faith and love and growing holiness, with habitual self-restraint.

wmth@1Timothy:3:2 @ A minister then must be a man of irreproachable character, true to his one wife, temperate, sober-minded, well-behaved, hospitable to strangers, and with a gift for teaching;

wmth@1Timothy:3:3 @ not a hard drinker nor given to blows; not selfish or quarrelsome or covetous;

wmth@1Timothy:3:4 @ but ruling his own household wisely and well, with children kept under control with true dignity.

wmth@1Timothy:3:5 @ (If a man does not know how to rule his own household, how shall he have the Church of God given into his care?)

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:3:11 @ Deaconesses, in the same way, must be sober-minded women, not slanderers, but in every way temperate and trustworthy.

wmth@1Timothy:3:12 @ A deacon must be true to his one wife, and rule his children and his own household wisely and well.

wmth@1Timothy:3:13 @ For those who have filled the deacon's office wisely and well, are already gaining for themselves an honourable standing, and are acquiring great freedom of speech in proclaiming the faith which rests on Christ Jesus.

wmth@1Timothy:3:15 @ But, for fear I may be hindered, I now write, so that you may have rules to guide you in dealing with God's household. For this is what the Church of the ever-living God is, and it is the pillar and foundation-stone of the truth.

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:4:6 @ If you warn the brethren of these dangers you will be a good and faithful servant of Christ Jesus, inwardly feeding on the lessons of the faith and of the sound teaching of which you have been, and are, so close a follower.

wmth@1Timothy:4:7 @ But worldly stories, fit only for credulous old women, have nothing to do with.

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:4:10 @ and here is the motive of our toiling and wrestling, because we have our hopes fixed on the ever-living God, who is the Saviour of all mankind, and especially of believers.

wmth@1Timothy:4:12 @ Let no one think slightingly of you because you are a young man; but in speech, conduct, love, faith and purity, be an example for your fellow Christians to imitate.

wmth@1Timothy:5:10 @ She must have been true to her one husband, and well reported of for good deeds, as having brought up children, received strangers hospitably, washed the feet of God's people, given relief to the distressed, and devoted herself to good works of every kind.

wmth@1Timothy:5:11 @ But the younger widows you must not enrol; for as soon as they begin to chafe against the yoke of Christ, they want to marry,

wmth@1Timothy:5:13 @ And at the same time they also learn to be idle as they go round from house to house; and they are not only idle, but are gossips also and busybodies, speaking of things that ought not to be spoken of.

wmth@1Timothy:5:14 @ I would therefore have the younger women marry, bear children, rule in domestic matters, and furnish the Adversary with no excuse for slander.

wmth@1Timothy:5:19 @ Never entertain an accusation against an Elder except on the evidence of two of three witnesses.

wmth@1Timothy:5:21 @ I solemnly call upon you, in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus and of the elect angels, to carry out these instructions of mine without prejudice, and to do nothing from partiality.

wmth@1Timothy:6:2 @ And those who have believing masters should not be wanting in respect towards them because they are their brethren, but should serve them all the more willingly because those who profit by the faithful service rendered are believers and are friends.

wmth@1Timothy:6:3 @ So teach and exhort. If any one is a teacher of any other kind of doctrine, and refuses assent to wholesome instructions –those of our Lord Jesus Christ– and the teaching that harmonizes with true godliness,

wmth@1Timothy:6:4 @ he is puffed up with pride and has no true knowledge, but is crazy over discussions and controversies about words which give rise to envy, quarrelling, revilings, ill-natured suspicions,

wmth@1Timothy:6:9 @ But people who are determined to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many unwise and pernicious ways which sink mankind in destruction and ruin.

wmth@1Timothy:6:11 @ But you, O man of God, must flee from these things; and strive for uprightness, godliness, good faith, love, fortitude, and a forgiving temper.

wmth@1Timothy:6:13 @ I charge you –as in the presence of God who gives life to all creatures, and of Christ Jesus who at the bar of Pontius Pilate made a noble profession of faith–

wmth@1Timothy:6:14 @ that you keep God's commandments stainlessly and without reproach till the Appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ.

wmth@1Timothy:6:17 @ Impress on those who are rich in the present age that they must not be haughty nor set their hopes on riches –that unstable foundation– but on God who provides us richly with all things for our enjoyment.

wmth@1Timothy:6:18 @ They must be beneficent, rich in noble deeds, open-handed and liberal;

wmth@1Timothy:6:20 @ O Timothy, guard the truths entrusted to you, shunning irreligious and frivolous talk, and controversy with what is falsely called `knowledge';

wmth@2Timothy:1:1 @ Paul, an Apostle of Christ Jesus, by the will of God, for proclaiming the promise of the Life which is in Christ Jesus:

wmth@2Timothy:1:2 @ To Timothy my dearly-loved child. May grace, mercy and peace be granted to you from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

wmth@2Timothy:1:7 @ For the Spirit which God has given us is not a spirit of cowardice, but one of power and of love and of sound judgement.

wmth@2Timothy:1:9 @ For He saved us and called us with a holy call, not in accordance with our desserts, but in accordance with His own purpose and the free grace which He bestowed on us in Christ Jesus before the commencement of the Ages,

wmth@2Timothy:1:10 @ but which has now been plainly revealed through the Appearing of our Saviour, Christ Jesus. He has put an end to death and has brought Life and Immortality to light through the Good News,

wmth@2Timothy:1:12 @ That indeed is the reason why I suffer as I do. But I am not ashamed, for I know in whom my trust reposes, and I am confident that He has it in His power to keep what I have entrusted to Him safe until that day.

wmth@2Timothy:1:13 @ Provide yourself with an outline of the sound teaching which you have heard from my lips, and be true to the faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.

wmth@2Timothy:1:14 @ That precious treasure which is in your charge, guard through the Holy Spirit who has His home in our hearts.

wmth@2Timothy:1:15 @ Of this you are aware, that all the Christians in Roman Asia have deserted me: and among them Phygelus and Hermogenes.

wmth@2Timothy:1:16 @ May the Lord show mercy to the household of Onesiphorus; for many a time he cheered me and he was not ashamed of my chain.

wmth@2Timothy:1:18 @ (The Lord grant that he may obtain mercy at His hands on that day!) And you yourself well know all the services which he rendered me in Ephesus.

wmth@2Timothy:2:1 @ You then, my child, must be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

wmth@2Timothy:2:2 @ All that you have been taught by me in the hearing of many witnesses, you must hand on to trusty men who shall themselves, in turn, be competent to instruct others also.

wmth@2Timothy:2:3 @ As a good soldier of Christ Jesus accept your share of suffering.

wmth@2Timothy:2:4 @ Every one who serves as a soldier keeps himself from becoming entangled in the world's business–so that he may satisfy the officer who enlisted him.

wmth@2Timothy:2:6 @ The harvestman who labours in the field must be the first to get a share of the crop.

wmth@2Timothy:2:8 @ Never forget that Jesus Christ has risen from among the dead and is a descendant of David, as is declared in the Good News which I preach.

wmth@2Timothy:2:10 @ For this reason I endure all things for the sake of God's own people; so that they also may obtain salvation –even the salvation which is in Christ Jesus– and with it eternal glory.

wmth@2Timothy:2:12 @ »If we patiently endure pain, we shall also share His Kingship;« If we disown Him, He will also disown us;

wmth@2Timothy:2:15 @ Earnestly seek to commend yourself to God as a servant who, because of his straightforward dealing with the word of truth, has no reason to feel any shame.

wmth@2Timothy:2:16 @ But from irreligious and frivolous talk hold aloof, for those who indulge in it will proceed from bad to worse in impiety,

wmth@2Timothy:2:17 @ and their teaching will spread like a running sore. Hymenaeus and Philetus are men of that stamp.

wmth@2Timothy:2:20 @ Now in a great house there are not only articles of gold and silver, but also others of wood and of earthenware; and some are for specially honourable, and others for common use.

wmth@2Timothy:2:21 @ If therefore a man keeps himself clear of these latter, he himself will be for specially honourable use, consecrated, fit for the Master's service, and fully equipped for every good work.

wmth@2Timothy:2:23 @ But avoid foolish discussions with ignorant men, knowing –as you do– that these lead to quarrels;

wmth@2Timothy:2:24 @ and a bondservant of the Lord must not quarrel, but must be inoffensive towards all men, a skilful teacher, and patient under wrongs.

wmth@2Timothy:2:25 @ He must speak in a gentle tone when correcting the errors of opponents, in the hope that God will at last give them repentance, for them to come to a full knowledge of the truth

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

wmth@2Timothy:3:2 @ For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, haughty, profane. They will be disobedient to parents, thankless, irreligious,

wmth@2Timothy:3:4 @ treacherous, headstrong, self-important. They will love pleasure instead of loving God,

wmth@2Timothy:3:6 @ Among them are included the men who make their way into private houses and carry off weak women as their prisoners–women who, weighed down by the burden of their sins, are led by ever-changing caprice,

wmth@2Timothy:3:8 @ And just as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so also these false teachers withstand the truth–being, as they are, men of debased intellects, and of no real worth so far as faith is concerned.

wmth@2Timothy:3:12 @ And indeed every one who is determined to live a godly life as a follower of Christ Jesus will be persecuted.

wmth@2Timothy:3:14 @ But you must cling to the things which you have learnt and have been taught to believe, knowing who your teachers were,

wmth@2Timothy:3:15 @ and that from infancy you have known the sacred writings which are able to make you wise to obtain salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.

wmth@2Timothy:3:16 @ Every Scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for convincing, for correction of error, and for instruction in right doing;

wmth@2Timothy:4:1 @ I solemnly implore you, in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus who is about to judge the living and the dead, and by His Appearing and His Kingship:

wmth@2Timothy:4:2 @ proclaim God's message, be zealous in season and out of season; convince, rebuke, encourage, with the utmost patience as a teacher.

wmth@2Timothy:4:5 @ But as for you, you must exercise habitual self-control, and not live a self-indulgent life, but do the duty of an evangelist and fully discharge the obligations of your office.

wmth@2Timothy:4:7 @ I have gone through the glorious contest; I have run the race; I have guarded the faith.

wmth@2Timothy:4:8 @ From this time onward there is reserved for me the crown of righteousness which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day, and not only to me, but also to all who love the thought of His Appearing.

wmth@2Timothy:4:10 @ For Demas has deserted me –loving, as he does, the present age– and has gone to Thessalonica; Crescens has gone to Galatia, and Titus to Dalmatia.

wmth@2Timothy:4:12 @ Tychicus I have sent to Ephesus.

wmth@2Timothy:4:13 @ When you come, bring with you the cloak which I left behind at Troas at the house of Carpus, and the books, but especially the parchments.

wmth@2Timothy:4:19 @ Greet Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus.

wmth@2Timothy:4:20 @ Erastus stayed in Corinth; Trophimus I left behind me at Miletus, ill.

wmth@2Timothy:4:21 @ Make an effort to come before winter. Eubulus greets you, and so do Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the brethren.

wmth@Titus:1:1 @ Paul, a bondservant of God and an Apostle of Jesus Christ for building up the faith of God's own people and spreading a full knowledge of the truths of religion,

wmth@Titus:1:2 @ in hope of the Life of the Ages which God, who is never false to His word, promised before the commencement of the Ages.

wmth@Titus:1:3 @ And at the appointed time He clearly made known His Message in the preaching with which I was entrusted by the command of God our Saviour:

wmth@Titus:1:4 @ To Titus my own true child in our common faith. May grace and peace be granted to you from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Saviour.

wmth@Titus:1:5 @ I have left you behind in Crete in order that you may set right the things which still require attention, and appoint Elders in every town, as I directed you to do;

wmth@Titus:1:6 @ wherever there is a man of blameless life, true to his one wife, having children who are themselves believers and are free from every reproach of profligacy or of stubborn self-will.

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:1:8 @ but hospitable to strangers, a lover of goodness, sober-minded, upright, saintly, self-controlled;

wmth@Titus:1:9 @ holding fast to the faithful Message which he has received, so that he may be well qualified both to encourage others with sound teaching and to reply successfully to opponents.

wmth@Titus:1:10 @ For there are many that spurn authority–idle, talkative and deceitful persons, who, for the most part, are adherents of the Circumcision.

wmth@Titus:1:11 @ You must stop the mouths of such men, for they overthrow the faith of whole families, teaching what they ought not, just for the sake of making money.

wmth@Titus:1:12 @ One of their own number –a Prophet who is a countryman of theirs– has said, »Cretans are always liars, dangerous animals, idle gluttons.«

wmth@Titus:1:13 @ This testimony is true. Therefore sternly denounce them, that they may be robust in their faith,

wmth@Titus:1:14 @ and not give attention to Jewish legends and the maxims of men who turn their backs on the truth.

wmth@Titus:1:15 @ To the pure everything is pure; but to the polluted and unbelieving nothing is pure, but on the contrary their very minds and consciences are polluted.

wmth@Titus:1:16 @ They profess to know God; but in their actions they disown Him, and are detestable and disobedient men, and for any good work are utterly useless.

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

wmth@Titus:2:2 @ Exhort aged men to be temperate, grave, sober-minded, robust in their faith, their love and their patience.

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:2:4 @ They should school the young women to be affectionate to their husbands and to their children, to be sober-minded, pure in their lives,

wmth@Titus:2:5 @ industrious in their homes, kind, submissive to their husbands, so that the Christian teaching may not be exposed to reproach.

wmth@Titus:2:6 @ In the same way exhort the younger men to be discreet,

wmth@Titus:2:7 @ and above all make your own life a pattern of right conduct, having in your teaching no taint of insincerity, but a serious tone,

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@Titus:2:9 @ Exhort slaves to be always obedient to their owners, and to give them satisfaction in everything, not contradicting and not pilfering,

wmth@Titus:2:10 @ but manifesting perfect fidelity and kind feeling, in order to bring honour to the teaching of our Saviour, God, in all things.

wmth@Titus:2:11 @ For the grace of God has displayed itself with healing power to all mankind,

wmth@Titus:2:12 @ training us to renounce ungodliness and all the pleasures of this world, and to live sober, upright, and pious lives at the present time,

wmth@Titus:2:13 @ in expectation of the fulfilment of our blessed hope–the Appearing in glory of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ;

wmth@Titus:2:14 @ who gave Himself for us to purchase our freedom from all iniquity, and purify for Himself a people who should be specially His own, zealous for doing good works.

wmth@Titus:2:15 @ Thus speak, exhort, reprove, with all impressiveness. Let no one make light of your authority.

wmth@Titus:3:1 @ Remind people that they must submit to the rulers who are in authority over them; that they must obey the magistrates, be prepared for every right action,

wmth@Titus:3:2 @ not speak evil of any one, nor be contentious, but yield unselfishly to others and constantly manifest a forgiving spirit towards all men.

wmth@Titus:3:3 @ For there was a time when we also were deficient in understanding, obstinate, deluded, the slaves of various cravings and pleasures, spending our lives in malice and envy, hateful ourselves and hating one another.

wmth@Titus:3:4 @ But when the goodness of God our Saviour, and His love to man, dawned upon us, not in consequence of things which we,

wmth@Titus:3:5 @ as righteous men, had done, but as the result of His own mercy He saved us by means of the bath of regeneration and the renewal of our natures by the Holy Spirit,

wmth@Titus:3:6 @ which He poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;

wmth@Titus:3:7 @ in order that having been declared righteous through His grace we might become heirs to the Life of the Ages in fulfilment of our hopes.

wmth@Titus:3:8 @ This is a faithful saying, and on these various points I would have you insist strenuously, in order that those who have their faith fixed on God may be careful to set an example of good actions. For these are not only good in themselves, but are also useful to mankind.

wmth@Titus:3:9 @ But hold yourself aloof from foolish controversies and pedigrees and discussions and wrangling about the Law, for they are useless and vain.

wmth@Titus:3:10 @ After a first and second admonition, have nothing further to do with any one who will not be taught;

wmth@Titus:3:11 @ for, as you know, a man of that description has turned aside from the right path and is a sinner self-condemned.

wmth@Titus:3:12 @ After I have sent Artemas or Tychicus to you, lose no time in joining me at Nicopolis; for I have decided to pass the winter there.

wmth@Titus:3:13 @ Help Zenas the lawyer forward on his journey with special care, and Apollos, so that they may have all they require.

wmth@Titus:3:14 @ And let our people too learn to set a good example in following honest occupations for the supply of their necessities, so that they may not live useless lives.

wmth@Titus:3:15 @ Every one here sends you greeting. Greet the believers who hold us dear. May grace be with you all.

wmth@Philemon:1:1 @ Paul, a prisoner for Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother: To Philemon our dearly-loved fellow labourer–

wmth@Philemon:1:2 @ and to our sister Apphia and our comrade Archippus–as well as to the Church in your house.

wmth@Philemon:1:3 @ May grace be granted to you all, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

wmth@Philemon:1:5 @ because I hear of your love and of the faith which you have towards the Lord Jesus and which you manifest towards all God's people;

wmth@Philemon:1:6 @ praying as I do, that their participation in your faith may result in others fully recognizing all the right affection that is in us toward Christ.

wmth@Philemon:1:7 @ For I have found great joy and comfort in your love, because the hearts of God's people have been, and are, refreshed through you, my brother.

wmth@Philemon:1:9 @ it is for love's sake that –instead of that– although I am none other than Paul the aged, and am now also a prisoner for Christ Jesus,

wmth@Philemon:1:10 @ I entreat you on behalf of my own child whose father I have become while in my chains–I mean Onesimus.

wmth@Philemon:1:11 @ Formerly he was useless to you, but now –true to his name– he is of great use to you and to me.

wmth@Philemon:1:23 @ Greetings to you, my brother, from Epaphras my fellow prisoner for the sake of Christ Jesus;

wmth@Philemon:1:24 @ and from Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers.

wmth@Philemon:1:25 @ May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with the spirit of every one of you.

wmth@Hebrews:1:1 @ God, who in ancient days spoke to our forefathers in many distinct messages and by various methods through the Prophets,

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:2:2 @ For if the message delivered through angels proved to be true, and every transgression and act of disobedience met with just retribution,

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:2:4 @ while God corroborated their testimony by signs and marvels and various miracles, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed in accordance with His own will.

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:3:1 @ Therefore, holy brethren, sharers with others in a heavenly invitation, fix your thoughts on Jesus, the Apostle and High Priest whose followers we profess to be.

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:3:15 @ seeing that the warning still comes to us,

wmth@Hebrews:4:1 @ Therefore let us be on our guard lest perhaps, while He still leaves us a promise of being admitted to His rest, some one of you should be found to have fallen short of it.

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:4:4 @ For, as we know, when speaking of the seventh day He has used the words,

wmth@Hebrews:4:6 @ Since, then, it is still true that some will be admitted to that rest, and that because of disobedience those who formerly had Good News proclaimed to them were not admitted,

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:4:16 @ Therefore let us come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our times of need.

wmth@Hebrews:5:2 @ and must be one who is able to bear patiently with the ignorant and erring, because he himself also is beset with infirmity.

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:5:13 @ By people who live on milk I mean those who are imperfectly acquainted with the teaching concerning righteousness.

wmth@Hebrews:6:1 @ Therefore leaving elementary instruction about the Christ, let us advance to mature manhood and not be continually re-laying a foundation of repentance from lifeless works and of faith in God,

wmth@Hebrews:6:3 @ And advance we will, if God permits us to do so.

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:6:10 @ For God is not unjust so that He is unmindful of your labour and of the love which you have manifested towards Himself in having rendered services to His people and in still rendering them.

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:6:20 @ where Jesus has entered as a forerunner on our behalf, having become, like Melchizedek, a High Priest for ever.

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:7:4 @ Now think how great this priest-king must have been to whom Abraham the patriarch gave a tenth part of the best of the spoil.

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:7:22 @ so much the more also is the Covenant of which Jesus has become the guarantor, a better covenant.

wmth@Hebrews:7:23 @ And they have been appointed priests many in number, because death prevents their continuance in office:

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:8:3 @ Every High Priest, however, is appointed to offer both bloodless gifts and sacrifices. Therefore this High Priest also must have some offering to present.

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:8:13 @ 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:9:5 @ And above the ark were the Cherubim denoting God's glorious presence and overshadowing the Mercy-seat. But I cannot now speak about all these in detail.

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:9:12 @ and once for all entered the Holy place, taking with Him not the blood of goats and calves, but His own blood, and thus procuring eternal redemption for us.

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:9:16 @ For where there is a legal `will,' there must also be a death brought forward in evidence–the death of him who made it.

wmth@Hebrews:9:21 @ And in the same way he also sprinkled blood upon the Tent of worship and upon all the vessels used in the ministry.

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: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:10:8 @ After saying the words I have just quoted, –all such being offered in obedience to the Law–

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:10:11 @ And while every priest stands ministering, day after day, and constantly offering the same sacrifices –though such can never rid us of our sins–

wmth@Hebrews:10:15 @ And the Holy Spirit also gives us His testimony; for when He had said,

wmth@Hebrews:10:19 @ Since then, brethren, we have free access to the Holy place through the blood of Jesus,

wmth@Hebrews:10:20 @ by the new and ever-living way which He opened up for us through the rending of the veil –that is to say, of His earthly nature–

wmth@Hebrews:10:21 @ and since we have a great Priest who has authority over the house of God,

wmth@Hebrews:10:22 @ let us draw near with sincerity and unfaltering faith, having had our hearts sprinkled, once for all, from consciences oppressed with sin, and our bodies bathed in pure water.

wmth@Hebrews:10:23 @ Let us hold firmly to an unflinching avowal of our hope, for He is faithful who gave us the promises.

wmth@Hebrews:10:24 @ And let us bestow thought on one another with a view to arousing one another to brotherly love and right conduct;

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: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:11:11 @ 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:11:12 @ And thus there sprang from one man, and him practically dead, a nation like the stars of the sky in number, and like the sands on the sea shore which cannot be counted.

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:11:26 @ 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:11:31 @ Through faith the notorious sinner Rahab did not perish along with the disobedient, for she had welcomed the spies and had sheltered them.

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:11:35 @ Women received back their dear ones alive from the dead; and others were put to death with torture, refusing the deliverance offered to them–that they might secure a better resurrection.

wmth@Hebrews:11:40 @ for God had provided for them and us something better, so that apart from us they were not to attain to full blessedness.

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:12:2 @ simply fixing our gaze upon Jesus, our Prince Leader in the faith, who will also award us the prize. He, for the sake of the joy which lay before Him, patiently endured the cross, looking with contempt upon its shame, and afterwards seated Himself – where He still sits– at the right hand of the throne of God.

wmth@Hebrews:12:9 @ Besides this, our earthly fathers used to discipline us and we treated them with respect, and shall we not be still more submissive to the Father of our spirits, and live?

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:12:15 @ Be carefully on your guard lest there be any one who falls back from the grace of God; lest any root bearing bitter fruit spring up and cause trouble among you, and through it the whole brotherhood be defiled;

wmth@Hebrews:12:22 @ On the contrary you have come to Mount Zion, and to the city of the ever-living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to countless hosts of angels,

wmth@Hebrews:12:23 @ to the great festal gathering and Church of the first-born, whose names are recorded in Heaven, and to a Judge who is God of all, and to the spirits of righteous men made perfect,

wmth@Hebrews:12:24 @ and to Jesus the negotiator of a new Covenant, and to the sprinkled blood which speaks in more gracious tones than that of Abel.

wmth@Hebrews:12:25 @ Be careful not to refuse to listen to Him who is speaking to you. For if they of old did not escape unpunished when they refused to listen to him who spoke on earth, much less shall we escape who turn a deaf ear to Him who now speaks from Heaven.

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:13:8 @ Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and to-day–yes, and to the ages to come.

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:13:12 @ 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:13:13 @ Therefore let us go to Him outside the camp, sharing the insults directed against Him.

wmth@Hebrews:13:15 @ Through Him, then, let us continually lay on the altar a sacrifice of praise to God, namely, the utterance of lips that give thanks to His Name.

wmth@Hebrews:13:18 @ Keep on praying for us; for we are sure that we have clear consciences, and we desire to live nobly in every respect.

wmth@Hebrews:13:20 @ Now may God who gives peace, and brought Jesus, our Lord, up again from among the dead –even Him who, by virtue of the blood of the eternal Covenant, is the great Shepherd of the sheep–

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:13:22 @ Bear with me, brethren, when I thus exhort you; for, in fact, it is but a short letter that I have written to you.

wmth@James:1:1 @ James, a bondservant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ: to the twelve tribes who are scattered over the world. All good wishes.

wmth@James:1:2 @ Reckon it nothing but joy, my brethren, whenever you find yourselves hedged in by various trials.

wmth@James:1:7 @ A person of that sort must not expect to receive anything from the Lord–

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:1:22 @ But prove yourselves obedient to the Message, and do not be mere hearers of it, imposing a delusion upon yourselves.

wmth@James:1:26 @ If a man thinks that he is scrupulously religious, although he is not curbing his tongue but is deceiving himself, his religious service is worthless.

wmth@James:1:27 @ The religious service which is pure and stainless in the sight of our God and Father is to visit fatherless children and widowed women in their time of trouble, and to keep one's own self unspotted from the world.

wmth@James:2:1 @ My brethren, you must not make distinctions between one man and another while you are striving to maintain faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, who is our glory.

wmth@James:2:16 @ and one of you says to them, »I wish you well; keep yourselves warm and well fed,« and yet you do not give them what they need; what is the use of that?

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:2:24 @ You all see that it is because of actions that a man is pronounced righteous, and not simply because of faith.

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:3:3 @ Remember that we put the horses' bit into their mouths to make them obey us, and so we turn their whole bodies round.

wmth@James:3:6 @ And the tongue is a fire. That world of iniquity, the tongue, is placed within us spotting and soiling our whole nature, and setting the whole round of our lives on fire, being itself set on fire by Gehenna.

wmth@James:3:8 @ But the tongue no man or woman is able to tame. It is an ever-busy mischief, and is full of deadly poison.

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:3:18 @ And peace, for those who strive for peace, is the seed of which the harvest is righteousness.

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:4:13 @ Come, you who say, »To-day or to-morrow we will go to this or that city, and spend a year there and carry on a successful business,«

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:5:6 @ You have condemned –you have murdered– the righteous man: he offers no resistance.

wmth@James:5:8 @ So you also must be patient: keeping up your courage; for the Coming of the Lord is now close at hand.

wmth@James:5:10 @ In illustration, brethren, of persecution patiently endured take the Prophets who have spoken as messengers from the Lord.

wmth@James:5:16 @ Therefore confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, so that you may be cured. The heartfelt supplication of a righteous man exerts a mighty influence.

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:1:2 @ chosen in accordance with the foreknowledge of God the Father, through the sanctifying work of the Spirit, with a view to their obedience and to their being sprinkled with the blood of Jesus Christ. May more and more grace and peace be granted to you.

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:1:6 @ Rejoice triumphantly in the prospect of this, even if now, for a short time, you are compelled to sorrow amid various trials.

wmth@1Peter:1:7 @ The sorrow comes in order that the testing of your faith –being more precious than that of gold, which perishes and yet is proved by fire– may be found to result in praise and glory and honour at the re-appearing of Jesus Christ.

wmth@1Peter:1:8 @ Him you love, though your eyes have never looked on Him. In Him, though at present you cannot see Him, you nevertheless trust, and triumph with a joy which is unspeakable and is crowned with glory,

wmth@1Peter:1:13 @ Therefore gird up your minds and fix your hopes calmly and unfalteringly upon the boon that is soon to be yours, at the re-appearing of Jesus Christ.

wmth@1Peter:1:14 @ And, since you delight in obedience, do not shape your lives by the cravings which used to dominate you in the time of your ignorance,

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:1:16 @ Because it stands written,

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:1:22 @ Now that, through your obedience to the truth, you have purified your souls for cherishing sincere brotherly love, you must love another heartily and fervently.

wmth@1Peter:2:5 @ And be yourselves also like living stones that are being built up into a spiritual house, to become a holy priesthood to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

wmth@1Peter:2:8 @ and Their foot strikes against it because they are disobedient to God's Message, and to this they were appointed.

wmth@1Peter:2:9 @ But you are a chosen race, a priesthood of kingly lineage, a holy nation, a people belonging specially to God, that you may make known the perfections of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvellous light.

wmth@1Peter:2:15 @ For it is God's will that by doing what is right you should thus silence the ignorant talk of foolish persons.

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:2:19 @ For it is an acceptable thing with God, if, from a sense of duty to Him, a man patiently submits to wrong, when treated unjustly.

wmth@1Peter:2:21 @ And it is to this you were called; because Christ also suffered on your behalf, leaving you an example so that you should follow in His steps.

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:3:1 @ Married women, in the same way, be submissive to your husbands, so that even if some of them disbelieve the Message, they may, apart from the Message, be won over by the daily life of their wives, after watching your daily life–

wmth@1Peter:3:4 @ Instead of that, it should be a new nature within–the imperishable ornament of a gentle and peaceful spirit, which is indeed precious in the sight of God.

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:3:6 @ Thus, for instance, Sarah obeyed Abraham, acknowledging his authority over her. And you have become Sarah's children if you do what is right and permit nothing whatever to terrify you.

wmth@1Peter:3:8 @ In conclusion, all of you should be of one mind, quick to sympathize, kind to the brethren, tenderhearted, lowly-minded,

wmth@1Peter:3:9 @ not requiting evil with evil nor abuse with abuse, but, on the contrary, giving a blessing in return, because a blessing is what you have been called by God to inherit.

wmth@1Peter:3:13 @ And who will be able to harm you, if you show yourselves zealous for that which is good?

wmth@1Peter:3:14 @ But even if you suffer for righteousness' sake, you are to be envied. So do not be alarmed by their threats, nor troubled;

wmth@1Peter:3:16 @ Yet argue modestly and cautiously, keeping your consciences free from guilt, so that, when you are spoken against, those who slander your good Christian lives may be put to shame.

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:3:21 @ 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:4:4 @ 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:4:10 @ 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:4:15 @ 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:4:18 @ And if it is difficult even for a righteous man to be saved, what will become of irreligious men and sinners?

wmth@1Peter:4:19 @ Therefore also, let those who are suffering in accordance with the will of God entrust their souls in well-doing to a faithful Creator.

wmth@1Peter:5:5 @ In the same way you younger men must submit to your elders; and all of you must gird yourselves with humility towards one another, for God sets Himself against the proud, but gives grace to the humble.

wmth@1Peter:5:7 @ Throw the whole of your anxiety upon Him, because He Himself cares for you.

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@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:1:2 @ May more and more grace and peace be granted to you in a full knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord,

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:1:8 @ 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:1:11 @ And so a triumphant admission into the eternal Kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ will be freely granted to you.

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:1:16 @ For when we made known to you the power and Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, we were not eagerly following cleverly devised legends, but we had been eye-witnesses of His majesty.

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:2:4 @ For God did not spare angels when they had sinned, but hurling them down to Tartarus consigned them to caves of darkness, keeping them in readiness for judgement.

wmth@2Peter:2:5 @ And He did not spare the ancient world, although He preserved Noah, a herald of righteousness, with seven others, when He brought a deluge on the world of the ungodly.

wmth@2Peter:2:7 @ But when righteous Lot was sore distressed by the gross misconduct of immoral men He rescued him.

wmth@2Peter:2:8 @ (For their lawless deeds were torture, day after day, to the pure soul of that righteous man–all that he saw and heard whilst living in their midst.)

wmth@2Peter:2:9 @ Since all this is so, the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from temptation, and on the other hand how to keep the unrighteous under punishment in readiness for the Day of Judgement,

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:2:11 @ while angels, though greater than they in might and power, do not bring any insulting accusation against such in the presence of the Lord.

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:2:15 @ 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:2:18 @ 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:2:20 @ 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:2:21 @ For it would have been better for them not to have fully known the way of righteousness, than, after knowing it, to turn back from the holy commandments in which they were instructed.

wmth@2Peter:3:5 @ For they are wilfully blind to the fact that there were heavens which existed of old, and an earth, the latter arising out of water and extending continuously through water, by the command of God;

wmth@2Peter:3:8 @ But there is one thing, dear friends, which you must not forget. With the Lord one day resembles a thousand years and a thousand years resemble one day.

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:3:11 @ Since all these things are thus pre-destined to dissolution, what sort of men ought you to be found to be in all holy living and godly conduct,

wmth@2Peter:3:13 @ But in accordance with His promise we are expecting new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness will dwell.

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@2Peter:3:18 @ But be always growing in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To Him be all glory, both now and to the day of Eternity!

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:1:3 @ that which we have seen and listened to we now announce to you also, in order that you also may have fellowship in it with us, and this fellowship with us is fellowship with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ.

wmth@1John:1:5 @ This is the Message which we have heard from the Lord Jesus and now deliver to you–God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness.

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:1:9 @ If we confess our sins, He is so faithful and just that He forgives us our sins and cleanses us from all unrighteousness.

wmth@1John:2:1 @ Dear children, I write thus to you in order that you may not sin. If any one sins, we have an Advocate with the Father–Jesus Christ the righteous;

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:2:12 @ I am writing to you, dear children, because for His sake your sins are forgiven you.

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:2:19 @ They have gone forth from our midst, but they did not really belong to us; for had they belonged to us, they would have remained with us. But they left us that it might be manifest that professed believers do not all belong to us.

wmth@1John:2:21 @ I have written to you, not because you are ignorant of the truth, but because you know it, and you know that nothing false comes from the truth.

wmth@1John:2:22 @ Who is a liar compared with him who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He who disowns the Father and the Son is the anti-Christ.

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:2:29 @ 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:3:7 @ 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:3:9 @ No one who is a child of God is habitually guilty of sin. A God-given germ of life remains in him, and he cannot habitually sin–because he is a child of God.

wmth@1John:3:10 @ By this we can distinguish God's children and the Devil's children: no one who fails to act righteously is a child of God, nor he who does not love his brother man.

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:3:18 @ Dear children, let us not love in words only nor with the lips, but in deed and in truth.

wmth@1John:3:20 @ in whatever matters our hearts condemn us–because God is greater than our hearts and knows everything.

wmth@1John:3:21 @ Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have perfect confidence towards 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:4:3 @ and that no spirit is from God which does not acknowledge this about Jesus. Such is the spirit of the anti-Christ; of whose coming you have heard, and it is already in the world.

wmth@1John:4:6 @ The man who is beginning to know God listens to us, but he who is not a child of God does not listen to us. By this test we can distinguish the Spirit of truth from the spirit of error.

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:4:10 @ This is love indeed–we did not love God, but He loved us and sent His Son to be an atoning sacrifice for our sins.

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:4:15 @ Whoever acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God–God continues in union with him, and he continues in union with God.

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:4:17 @ Our love will be manifested in all its perfection by our having complete confidence on the day of the Judgement; because just what He is, we also are in the world.

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:4:19 @ We love because God first loved us.

wmth@1John:4:21 @ And the command which we have from Him is that he who loves God must love his brother man also.

wmth@1John:5:1 @ Every one who believes that Jesus is the Christ is a child of God; and every one who loves the Father loves also Him who is the Father's Child.

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:5:5 @ Who but the man that believes that Jesus is the Son of God overcomes the world?

wmth@1John:5:6 @ Jesus Christ is He who came with water and blood; not with the water only, but with the water and with the blood. And it is the Spirit who gives testimony– because the Spirit is the Truth.

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:5:14 @ 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:5:20 @ 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:1:2 @ for the sake of the truth which is continually in our hearts and will be with us for ever.

wmth@2John:1:3 @ Grace, mercy and peace will be with us from God the Father, and from Jesus Christ the Son of the Father, in truth and love.

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@3John:1:1 @ The Elder to his dear friend Gaius. Truly I love you.

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:1:9 @ I wrote to the Church, but Diotrephes, who loves to have the first place among them, refuses to listen to us.

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:1:12 @ 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:1:1 @ Jude, a bondservant of Jesus Christ and a brother of James: To those who are in God the Father, enfolded in His love, and kept for Jesus Christ, and called.

wmth@Jude:1:3 @ Dear friends, since I am eager to begin a letter to you on the subject of our common salvation, I find myself constrained to write and cheer you on to the vigorous defense of the faith delivered once for all to God's people.

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:1:7 @ 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:1:8 @ Yet in just the same way these dreamers also pollute the body, while they set authority at naught and speak evil of dignities.

wmth@Jude:1:9 @ But Michael the Archangel, when contending with the Devil and arguing with him about the body of Moses, did not dare to pronounce judgement on him in abusive terms, but simply said, »The Lord rebuke you.«

wmth@Jude:1:10 @ Yet these men are abusive in matters of which they know nothing, and in things which, like the brutes, they understand instinctively–in all these they corrupt themselves.

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:1:17 @ 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:1:19 @ These are those who cause divisions. They are men of the world, wholly unspiritual.

wmth@Jude:1:21 @ must keep yourselves safe in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ which will result in the Life of the Ages.

wmth@Jude:1:22 @ Some, when they argue with you, you must endeavor to convince;

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:1:24 @ But to Him who is able to keep you safe from stumbling, and cause you to stand in the presence of His glory free from blemish and full of exultant joy–

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:1:2 @ This is the John who taught the truth concerning the Word of God and the truth told us by Jesus Christ– a faithful account of what he had seen.

wmth@Revelation:1:5 @ and from Jesus Christ, the truthful witness, the first of the dead to be born to Life, and the Ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him who loves us and has freed us from our sins with His own blood,

wmth@Revelation:1:6 @ and has formed us into a Kingdom, to be priests to God, His Father–to Him be ascribed the glory and the power until the Ages of the Ages. Amen.

wmth@Revelation:1:9 @ I John, your brother, and a sharer with you in the sorrows and Kingship and patient endurance of Jesus, found myself in the island of Patmos, on account of the Word of God and the truth told us by Jesus.

wmth@Revelation:1:11 @ It said, »Write forthwith in a roll an account of what you see, and send it to the seven Churches–to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyateira, Sardis, Philadelphia and Laodicea.«

wmth@Revelation:1:19 @ Write down therefore the things you have just seen, and those which are now taking place, and those which are soon to follow:

wmth@Revelation:2:1 @ »To the minister of the Church in Ephesus write as follows:« `This is what He who holds the seven stars in the grasp of His right hand says–He who walks to and fro among the seven lampstands of gold.

wmth@Revelation:2:14 @ Yet I have a few things against you, because you have with you some that cling to the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling-block in the way of the descendants of Israel–to eat what had been sacrificed to idols, and commit fornication.

wmth@Revelation:2:27 @ And he shall be their shepherd, ruling them with a rod of iron, just as earthenware jars are broken to pieces; and his power over them shall be like that which I Myself have received from My Father;«

wmth@Revelation:3:2 @ Rouse yourself and keep awake, and strengthen those things which remain but have well-nigh perished; for I have found no doings of yours free from imperfection in the sight of My God.

wmth@Revelation:3:3 @ Be mindful, therefore, of the lessons you have received and heard. Continually lay them to heart, and repent. If, however, you fail to rouse yourself and keep awake, I shall come upon you suddenly like a thief, and you will certainly not know the hour at which I shall come to judge you.

wmth@Revelation:3:8 @ I know your doings. I have put an opened door in front of you, which no one can shut; because you have but a little power, and yet you have guarded My word and have not disowned Me.

wmth@Revelation:3:9 @ I will cause some belonging to Satan's synagogue who say that they themselves are Jews, and are not, but are liars–I will make them come and fall at your feet and know for certain that I have loved you.

wmth@Revelation:3:10 @ Because in spite of suffering you have guarded My word, I in turn will guard you from that hour of trial which is soon coming upon the whole world, to put to the test the inhabitants of the earth.

wmth@Revelation:3:12 @ »`He who overcomes–I will make him a pillar in the sanctuary of My God, and he shall never go out from it again. And I will write on him the name of My God, and the name of the city of My God, the new Jerusalem, which is to come down out of Heaven from My God, and My own new name.«

wmth@Revelation:3:16 @ Accordingly, because you are lukewarm and neither hot nor cold, before long I will vomit you out of My mouth.

wmth@Revelation:4:1 @ After all this I looked and saw a door in Heaven standing open, and the voice that I had previously heard, which resembled the blast of a trumpet, again spoke to me and said, »Come up here, and I will show you things which are to happen in the future.«

wmth@Revelation:4:11 @ saying, »It is fitting, O our Lord and God, That we should ascribe unto Thee the glory and the honor and the power; For Thou didst create all things, And because it was Thy will they came into existence, and were created.«

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:5:9 @ 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:5:11 @ And I looked, and heard what seemed to be the voices of countless angels on every side of the throne, and of the living creatures and the Elders. Their number was myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands,

wmth@Revelation:6:4 @ And another horse came out–a fiery-red one; and power was given to its rider to take peace from the earth, and to cause men to kill one another; and a great sword was given to him.

wmth@Revelation:6:9 @ When the Lamb broke the fifth seal, I saw at the foot of the altar the souls of those whose lives had been sacrificed because of the word of God and of the testimony which they had given.

wmth@Revelation:6:11 @ And there was given to each of them a long white robe, and they were bidden to wait patiently for a short time longer, until the full number of their fellow bondservants should also complete–namely of their brethren who were soon to be killed just as they had been.

wmth@Revelation:6:16 @ while they called to the mountains and the rocks, saying, »Fall on us and hide us from the presence of Him who sits on the throne and from the anger of the Lamb;

wmth@Revelation:7:14 @ »My lord, you know,« I replied. »They are those,« he said, »who have just passed through the great distress, and have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

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:8:13 @ 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:9:3 @ 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:9:11 @ The locusts had a king over them–the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in Hebrew is `Abaddon,' while in the Greek he is called `Apollyon.'

wmth@Revelation:10:11 @ And a voice said to me, »You must prophesy yet further concerning peoples, nations, languages, and many kings.«

wmth@Revelation:11:6 @ They have power given to them to seal up the sky, so that no rain may fall so long as they continue to prophesy; and power over the waters to turn them into blood, and to smite the earth with various plagues whenever they choose to do so.

wmth@Revelation:11:9 @ And men belonging to all peoples, tribes, languages and nations gaze at their dead bodies for three days and a half, but they refuse to let them be laid in a tomb.

wmth@Revelation:11:13 @ And just as that time there was a great earthquake, and a tenth part of the city was overthrown. 7,000 people were killed in the earthquake, and the rest were terrified and gave glory to the God of Heaven.

wmth@Revelation:11:17 @ saying, »We give thee thanks, O Lord God, the Ruler of all, Who art and wast, because Thou hast exerted Thy power, Thy great power, and hast become King.

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:12:11 @ But they have gained the victory over him because of the blood of the Lamb and of the testimony which they have borne, and because they held their lives cheap and did not shrink even from death.

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:12:17 @ 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:13:4 @ 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:13:10 @ If any one is eager to lead others into captivity, he must himself go into captivity. If any one is bent on killing with the sword, he must himself be killed by the sword. Here is an opportunity for endurance, and for the exercise of faith, on the part of God's people.

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:13:15 @ 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:13:16 @ And he causes all, small and great, rich and poor, free men and slaves, to have stamped upon them a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads,

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:14:7 @ 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:14:12 @ Here is an opportunity for endurance on the part of God's people, who carefully keep His commandments and the faith of Jesus!«

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:14:18 @ And another angel came out from the altar –he who had power over fire– and he spoke in a loud voice to him who had the sharp sickle, saying, »Use your sharp sickle, and gather the bunches from the vine of the earth, for its grapes are now quite ripe.«

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:15:3 @ And they were singing the song of Moses, God's servant, and the song of the Lamb. Their words were, »Great and wonderful are Thy works, O Lord God, the Ruler of all. Righteous and true are Thy ways, O King of the nations.

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: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:16:7 @ And I heard a voice from the altar say, »Even so, O Lord God, the Ruler of all, true and righteous are Thy judgments.«

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:16:11 @ and they spoke evil of the God in Heaven because of their pains and their sores, and did not repent of their misconduct.

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:17:6 @ 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:17:8 @ »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:17:10 @ 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:17:16 @ 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:18:5 @ For her sins are piled up to the sky, and God has called to mind her unrighteous deeds.

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:18:11 @ And the merchants of the earth weep aloud and lament over her, because now there is no sale for their cargoes–

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: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:19:6 @ 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:19:10 @ Then I fell at his feet to worship him. But he exclaimed, »Oh, do not do that. I am a fellow bondservant of yours and a fellow bondservant of your brethren who have borne testimony to Jesus. Worship God.« Testimony to Jesus is the spirit which underlies Prophecy.

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:19:21 @ But the rest were killed with the sword that came from the mouth of the Rider on the horse. And the birds all fed ravenously upon their flesh.

wmth@Revelation:20:2 @ He laid hold of the Dragon –the ancient serpent– who is the Devil and the Adversary, and bound him for a thousand years, and hurled him into the bottomless pit.

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:21:2 @ And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of Heaven from God and made ready like a bride attired to meet her husband.

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:21:10 @ 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:21:19 @ 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:22:6 @ And he said to me, »These words are trustworthy and true; and the Lord, the God of the spirits of the Prophets, sent His angel to make known to His servants the things which must soon happen.

wmth@Revelation:22:11 @ Let the dishonest man act dishonestly still; let the filthy make himself filthy still; let the righteous practise righteousness still; and let the holy be made holy still.«

wmth@Revelation:22:16 @ »I Jesus have sent My angel for him solemnly to declare these things to you among the Churches. I am the Root and the offspring of David, the bright Morning Star.«

wmth@Revelation:22:20 @ »He who solemnly declares all this says,« `Yes, I am coming quickly.' Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.

wmth@Revelation:22:21 @ The grace of the Lord Jesus be with God's people.
