riversident@Info ...TITLE: The Riverside...

riversident@Matthew:1:1 @ THE ancestral line of Jesus Christ, son of David, son of Abraham:

riversident@Matthew:1:2 @ Abraham was the father of Isaac; Isaac was the father of Jacob; Jacob was the father of Judah and his brothers;

riversident@Matthew:1:3 @ Judah was the father of Perez and Zerah (note:)Tamar was their mother(:note); Perez was the father of Hezron; Hezron was the father of Ram;

riversident@Matthew:1:4 @ Ram was the father of Amminadab; Amminadab was the father of Nahshon; Nahshon was the father of Salmon;

riversident@Matthew:1:5 @ Salmon was the father of Boaz (note:)Rahab was his mother(:note); Boaz was the father of Obed Ruth was his mother;

riversident@Matthew:1:6 @ Jesse was the father of David the King. David was the father of Solomon (note:)his mother had been Uriah's wife(:note);

riversident@Matthew:1:7 @ Solomon was the father of Rehoboam; Rehoboam was the father of Abijah; Abijah was the father of Asa;

riversident@Matthew:1:8 @ Asa was the father of Jehoshaphat; Jehoshaphat was the father of Joram; Joram was the father of Uzziah;

riversident@Matthew:1:9 @ Uzziah was the father of Jotham; Jotham was the father of Ahaz; Ahaz was the father of Hezekiah;

riversident@Matthew:1:10 @ Hezekiah was the father of Manasseh; Manasseh was the father of Amon; Amon was the father of Josiah;

riversident@Matthew:1:11 @ Josiah was the father of Jechoniah and his brothers at the time of the Babylonian exile.

riversident@Matthew:1:12 @ After the Babylonian exile, Jechoniah was the father of Shealtiel; Shealtiel was the father of Zerubbabel;

riversident@Matthew:1:13 @ Zerubbabel was the father of Abiud; Abiud was the father of Eliakim; Eliakim was the father of Azor;

riversident@Matthew:1:14 @ Azor was the father of Sadoc; Sadoc was the father of Achim; Achim was the father of Eliud;

riversident@Matthew:1:15 @ Eliud was the father of Eleazar; Eleazar was the father of Matthan; Matthan was the father of Jacob;

riversident@Matthew:1:16 @ Jacob was the father of Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.

riversident@Matthew:1:17 @ So there were in all fourteen generations from Abraham to David, and fourteen generations from David to the Babylonian exile, and fourteen generations from the Babylonian exile to the Christ.

riversident@Matthew:1:18 @ The birth of Jesus was in this way: His mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, but before they came together she was found to be with child by the Holy Spirit.

riversident@Matthew:1:20 @ But while he was thinking this over, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife, for what has been conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.

riversident@Matthew:1:22 @ All this happened in fulfillment of what the Lord had spoken through the prophet:

riversident@Matthew:1:23 @ "Behold the virgin will conceive and will bear a son, and they will call his name Immanuel" (note:)which means, God is with us(:note).

riversident@Matthew:1:24 @ When Joseph awoke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took his wife to his home.

riversident@Matthew:2:1 @ AFTER Jesus had been born in Bethlehem, in Judaea, in the days of Herod the King, wise men from the East arrived at Jerusalem,

riversident@Matthew:2:2 @ saying, "Where is he who has been born King of the Jews? For we saw his star in the East and have come to do homage to him."

riversident@Matthew:2:4 @ Then he called together all the high priests and scribes of the people and inquired of them where the Christ was to be born.

riversident@Matthew:2:5 @ They said to him, "In Bethlehem, in Juda. For so it was written by the prophet,

riversident@Matthew:2:6 @ 'And thou, Bethlehem, land of Judah, art by no means least among the leaders of Judah; for from thee will come a leader who will shepherd my people Israel.' "

riversident@Matthew:2:7 @ Then Herod secretly summoned the wise men and learned from them exactly the time of the star's appearance,

riversident@Matthew:2:8 @ and as he sent them to Bethlehem he said, "Go and make careful inquiries about the child, and when you have found him bring me word, so that I too may come and do homage to him."

riversident@Matthew:2:9 @ After hearing the king, they journeyed on, and the star which they had seen in the East went before them until it came and stood over where the child was.

riversident@Matthew:2:10 @ When they saw the star, they were very joyful.

riversident@Matthew:2:11 @...and did him homage. Then they...

riversident@Matthew:2:13 @ After they had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph and said, "Rise up, and take the child and his mother and flee into Egypt, and be there until I tell you, for Herod will search for the child in order to kill him."

riversident@Matthew:2:14 @ So Joseph rose up, and took the child and his mother in the night and went away to Egypt,

riversident@Matthew:2:15 @ and was there until the death of Herod, in order that the word of the Lord spoken through the prophet might be fulfilled, "Out of Egypt I called my Son."

riversident@Matthew:2:16 @ Then Herod, seeing that he had been outwitted by the wise men, became furious, and sent out and killed all the boy babies two years old and under in Bethlehem and all its neighborhood, guided by the date which he had carefully learned from the wise men.

riversident@Matthew:2:17 @ Then was fulfilled what was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet when he said,

riversident@Matthew:2:19 @ But after Herod had died, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt

riversident@Matthew:2:20 @ and said, "Arise, and take the child and his mother and go into the land of Israel, for they are dead who sought the child's life."

riversident@Matthew:2:21 @ So he arose, and took the child and his mother and came into the land of Israel.

riversident@Matthew:2:22 @ But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judaea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there, and being directed in a dream he went away to the region of Galilee

riversident@Matthew:2:23 @ and settled in a town called Nazareth, so that what had been spoken through the prophets might be fulfilled, "He will be called a Nazarene."

riversident@Matthew:3:1 @ IN those days John the Baptist came preaching in the wild part of Judaea

riversident@Matthew:3:2 @ and saying, "Repent; for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

riversident@Matthew:3:3 @ For this is he who was foretold through Isaiah the prophet when he said: 'The voice of one crying aloud in the wilderness, Make ready the way of the Lord, make straight his paths.' "

riversident@Matthew:3:5 @ Then went out to him Jerusalem and all Judaea and all the neighborhood of the Jordan

riversident@Matthew:3:6 @ and were baptized by him in the Jordan River, confessing their sins.

riversident@Matthew:3:7 @ When he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming for baptism, he said, "Brood of vipers, who directed you to flee from the coming wrath?

riversident@Matthew:3:10 @ Now the axe is lying at the root of the trees. Every tree that does not yield good fruit will be cut down and cast into the fire.

riversident@Matthew:3:11 @ I baptize you with water for a change of heart, but he who is coming after me is more powerful than I; I am not worthy to carry his shoes; he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.

riversident@Matthew:3:12 @ He has his fan in his hand and will thoroughly clean his threshing-floor. He will gather his grain into his storehouse, but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable."

riversident@Matthew:3:13 @ Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John to be baptized by him.

riversident@Matthew:3:16 @ Jesus, as soon as he was baptized, went up from the water, and the heavens were opened and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove and coming upon him.

riversident@Matthew:3:17 @ A voice from the heavens said, "This is my Son, the beloved in whom I delight."

riversident@Matthew:4:1 @ THEN Jesus was led by the Spirit up into the wild country to be tempted by the Devil.

riversident@Matthew:4:3 @ Then the tempter came and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to turn into loaves of bread."

riversident@Matthew:4:5 @ Then the Devil took him with him to the holy city and placed him on the top of the temple

riversident@Matthew:4:6 @ and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down; for it is written, 'To his angels he will give charge of you, and on their hands they will bear you lest you strike your foot against a stone.' "

riversident@Matthew:4:8 @ Again the Devil took him with him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory,

riversident@Matthew:4:11 @ Then the Devil left him, and angels came and waited upon him.

riversident@Matthew:4:13 @ Leaving Nazareth, he came and lived in Capernaum on the lake shore on the borders of Zebulun and Naphtali,

riversident@Matthew:4:14 @ so that the word spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled:

riversident@Matthew:4:15 @ "Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, road to the sea, country beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles,

riversident@Matthew:4:16 @ the people that sat in darkness saw a great light and upon those sitting in the land and shadow of death light dawned."

riversident@Matthew:4:18 @ As he was walking along the shore of the lake of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen;

riversident@Matthew:4:20 @ They at once left the nets and followed him.

riversident@Matthew:4:21 @ Going on from there, he saw two other brothers \'97 James the son of Zebedee and John his brother \'97 in their boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them.

riversident@Matthew:4:22 @ They at once left the boat and their father and followed him.

riversident@Matthew:4:23 @ Jesus went around through the whole of Galilee, teaching in the synagogues and proclaiming the good news of the Kingdom, and healing every disease and every infirmity among the people.

riversident@Matthew:4:25 @ Great crowds followed him from Galilee and Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judaea and from beyond the Jordan.

riversident@Matthew:5:1 @ SEEING the crowds, he went up on the mountain, and when he had seated himself his disciples came to him.

riversident@Matthew:7:28 @ When Jesus ended these words, the crowds were astonished at his teaching.

riversident@Matthew:8:1 @ WHEN Jesus had come down from the mountain, great crowds followed him.

riversident@Matthew:8:2 @ And a leper came up and bowed before him, and said, "Sir, if you have the will, you have power to make me clean."

riversident@Matthew:8:8 @ The Centurion answered, "Sir, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof; but just speak the word and my servant will be cured.

riversident@Matthew:8:13 @ Then Jesus said to the Centurion, His servant was healed that very hour.

riversident@Matthew:8:14 @ When Jesus entered the house of Peter, he saw his wife's mother lying sick with fever.

riversident@Matthew:8:15 @...the fever left her. Then she...

riversident@Matthew:8:16 @ When evening came, they brought to him many demoniacs and he cast out the spirits by a word, and all their sick he healed.

riversident@Matthew:8:17 @ This was in order to fulfill what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, "He took our weaknesses and bore away our diseases."

riversident@Matthew:8:18 @ When Jesus saw a crowd around him, he gave directions to go over to the other side of the lake.

riversident@Matthew:8:23 @ Then he got into the boat and his disciples followed him.

riversident@Matthew:8:24 @ Soon a great storm broke on the lake so that the boat was hidden under the waves; but he was sleeping.

riversident@Matthew:8:26 @...But he said, Then he...

riversident@Matthew:8:27 @ The men were astonished and said, "What sort of a person is this, whom even the winds and the lake obey?"

riversident@Matthew:8:28 @...out of the tombs. They were...

riversident@Matthew:8:29 @ Suddenly they shouted, "Son of God, what have you to do with us? Have you come here to torment us before the time?"

riversident@Matthew:8:31 @ The demons begged him, "If you cast us out, send us into the herd of swine."

riversident@Matthew:8:32 @...entered into the swine. Then suddenly...

riversident@Matthew:8:33 @ The herdsmen fled and went away to the town and told everything, including what had happened to the demoniacs.

riversident@Matthew:8:34 @ Then at once all the town came out to meet Jesus, and when they saw him they begged him to depart from their neighborhood.

riversident@Matthew:9:1 @ SO Jesus got into the boat and crossed over and came to his own city.

riversident@Matthew:9:2 @ They brought to him a paralytic lying on a bed. When Jesus saw their faith he said to the paralytic,

riversident@Matthew:9:3 @ At once some of the scribes said to themselves, "This man is speaking profane words."

riversident@Matthew:9:6 @ \'97 then he said to the paralytic,

riversident@Matthew:9:8 @ The crowds that saw it were astonished and gave glory to God, who had given such power to men.

riversident@Matthew:9:9 @ As Jesus was passing along from there, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax office. Jesus said to him, and he arose and followed him.

riversident@Matthew:9:10 @ It happened that, while he was reclining at table in the house, many tax collectors and sinners came in and reclined at the table with Jesus and his disciples.

riversident@Matthew:9:11 @ When the Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples, "Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?"

riversident@Matthew:9:14 @ Then the disciples of John came to Jesus and said, "Why are we and the Pharisees fasting while your disciples are not fasting?"

riversident@Matthew:9:20 @ Suddenly a woman who had been suffering for twelve years from hemorrhage came up behind him and touched the tassel of his cloak.

riversident@Matthew:9:22 @...seeing her, said, The woman...

riversident@Matthew:9:23 @ Jesus entered the house of the Director and saw the flute-players and the crowd that was noisily lamenting, and he said,

riversident@Matthew:9:25 @ But after the crowd had been turned out, he went in and took hold of her hand and the girl rose up.

riversident@Matthew:9:26 @ The report of this spread through all that country.

riversident@Matthew:9:28 @...said to them, They said,...

riversident@Matthew:9:33 @...the dumb man spoke. The crowd...

riversident@Matthew:9:34 @ But the Pharisees said, "Through the Chief of the demons he casts out the demons."

riversident@Matthew:9:35 @ Jesus made a circuit through all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every infirmity.

riversident@Matthew:9:36 @ Seeing the crowds, he was touched with compassion for them, for they were torn and flung down like sheep that have no shepherd.

riversident@Matthew:10:2 @ The names of the twelve apostles are these: Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, James the son of Zebedee and John his brother,

riversident@Matthew:10:3 @ Philip and Bartholomew, Thomas and Matthew the tax collector, James the son of Alphaeus and Thaddaeus,

riversident@Matthew:10:4 @ Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot, the one who betrayed him.

riversident@Matthew:11:1 @ WHEN Jesus had finished instructing his twelve disciples, he went away from that place to teach and preach in the towns.

riversident@Matthew:11:2 @ John had heard in prison of the doings of the Christ, and he sent by some of his disciples to ask,

riversident@Matthew:11:7 @ As these men went away, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John:

riversident@Matthew:11:20 @ Then he began to reproach the cities in which most of his miracles had been done, because they had not repented:

riversident@Matthew:12:1 @ AT that time Jesus went on the Sabbath through the grain-fields. His disciples were hungry and began to pluck heads of grain to eat.

riversident@Matthew:12:2 @ When the Pharisees saw it they said, "See, your disciples are doing what is not allowable on the Sabbath."

riversident@Matthew:12:10 @...with a withered hand. They asked...\'97 so that they might have something to accuse him of.

riversident@Matthew:12:13 @ Then he said to the man, He stretched it out and it was restored as sound as the other.

riversident@Matthew:12:14 @ The Pharisees went out and plotted against him how they could destroy him.

riversident@Matthew:12:17 @ It was in fulfillment of these words of Isaiah the prophet,

riversident@Matthew:12:18 @ "Behold my servant whom I have chosen, the Beloved in whom my soul delights. I will put my spirit upon him and he will proclaim justice to the Gentiles.

riversident@Matthew:12:19 @ He will not strive nor cry, nor will any one hear his voice in the streets.

riversident@Matthew:12:23 @ All the crowds were astonished and said, "Is not this man the Son of David?"

riversident@Matthew:12:24 @ The Pharisees when they heard it said, "This man casts out demons only through Beelzebul the Chief of the demons."

riversident@Matthew:12:38 @ Then some of the scribes and Pharisees said to him, "Teacher, we wish to see a sign from you."

riversident@Matthew:12:46 @ While Jesus was still speaking to the crowds, his mother and his brothers were standing outside, trying to speak to him.

riversident@Matthew:13:1 @ ON that day Jesus went out of the house and sat beside the lake.

riversident@Matthew:13:2 @ Great crowds gathered to him so that he got into a boat and sat in it, while all the crowd stood on the shore.

riversident@Matthew:13:35 @ to fulfill the words of the prophet when he said, "I will open my mouth in illustrations, I will utter things hidden since the foundation of the world."

riversident@Matthew:13:36 @ Then leaving the crowds he came into the house, and his disciples came to him and said, "Explain to us the illustration of the weeds of the field."

riversident@Matthew:13:55 @ Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother named Mary and his brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Judas?

riversident@Matthew:14:1 @ AT that time Herod the Prince heard the reports about Jesus

riversident@Matthew:14:2 @ and said to his servants, "This is John the Baptist. He has risen from the dead and so miraculous powers are working in him."

riversident@Matthew:14:5 @ Although he wished to kill him, he was afraid of the people because they held him for a prophet.

riversident@Matthew:14:6 @ But when Herod's birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced in the midst and pleased Herod,

riversident@Matthew:14:8 @ She, prompted by her mother, said, "Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist."

riversident@Matthew:14:9 @ The king was grieved, but on account of his oaths and his guests he ordered it to be given her,

riversident@Matthew:14:10 @ and he sent and had John beheaded in the prison.

riversident@Matthew:14:11 @ The head was brought in on a platter and was given to the girl and she bore it to her mother.

riversident@Matthew:14:12 @ The disciples of John came and took the body and buried it, and then they came and told Jesus.

riversident@Matthew:14:13 @ Upon hearing of it, Jesus went away in a boat privately to an uninhabited place. But the people heard of it and followed him by land from the towns.

riversident@Matthew:14:14 @ As he got out of the boat, he saw a great crowd and he had compassion on them and healed their sick.

riversident@Matthew:14:15 @ When evening had come on, his disciples came to him and said, "This is an uninhabited place and the time is already late; send away the crowd so that they may go into the villages and buy themselves food."

riversident@Matthew:14:19 @...and asked a blessing. Then he...

riversident@Matthew:14:20 @ All ate and had abundance, and they took up twelve baskets full of the broken pieces that remained over.

riversident@Matthew:14:22 @ Then he made his disciples get into the boat and go on across while he was dismissing the crowd.

riversident@Matthew:14:23 @ After dismissing the crowd, he went up on the mountain by himself to pray, When evening came, he was there alone.

riversident@Matthew:14:24 @ The boat was already far out from land, beaten by the waves, for the wind was against them.

riversident@Matthew:14:25 @ In the fourth watch of the night, he came to them walking on the water.

riversident@Matthew:14:26 @ When the disciples saw him walking on the water, they were terrified, saying that it was a ghost, and they cried out with fear.

riversident@Matthew:14:28 @ Peter answered, "Sir, if it is you, bid me to come to you on the water."

riversident@Matthew:14:29 ...Jesus said, Then Peter...

riversident@Matthew:14:30 @ But seeing the wind he became frightened, and, beginning to sink, he cried out, "Sir, save me!"

riversident@Matthew:14:32 @ After they got into the boat, the wind stopped.

riversident@Matthew:14:33 @ Then the men in the boat bowed down to him and said, "Truly you are the Son of God."

riversident@Matthew:14:35 @ When the men of that place recognized him, they sent into all that neighborhood and brought to him all the sick

riversident@Matthew:14:36 @ and begged him that they might touch merely the tassel of his cloak, and all who touched were cured.

riversident@Matthew:15:2 @ "Why do your disciples violate the tradition of our forefathers? For they do not wash their hands when they eat food."

riversident@Matthew:15:10 @ Calling the crowd to him he said to them,

riversident@Matthew:15:12 @ Then his disciples came to him and said, "Do you know that the Pharisees were shocked when they heard what you said?"

riversident@Matthew:15:21 @ Leaving that place, Jesus retired into the region of Tyre and Sidon.

riversident@Matthew:15:27 @ But she said, "Yes, Sir; for even the dogs eat of the crumbs that fall from their masters' table."

riversident@Matthew:15:29 @ On leaving there, Jesus came along by the lake of Galilee and went up on the mountain and sat down there.

riversident@Matthew:15:31 @ The crowd was astonished when they saw mutes talking, maimed men sound, lame men walking about, and blind men seeing, and they gave glory to the God of Israel.

riversident@Matthew:15:33 @ The disciples said to him, "Where can we get enough bread in this uninhabited place to feed such a crowd?"

riversident@Matthew:15:35 @ Then he told the crowd to recline on the ground,

riversident@Matthew:15:36 @ and he took the seven loaves and the fishes and gave thanks and broke them and gave to his disciples, and the disciples distributed to the crowd.

riversident@Matthew:15:39 @ Then after dismissing the crowd he got into a boat and came into the region of Magadan.

riversident@Matthew:16:1 @ THE Pharisees and Sadducees came to Jesus, and, in order to put him to a test, asked him to show them a sign from heaven.

riversident@Matthew:16:5 @ When the disciples got to the other side of the lake, they had forgotten to take bread,

riversident@Matthew:16:12 @ Then they understood that he had told them to beware not of the yeast of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

riversident@Matthew:16:13 @ After corning into the neighborhood of Caesarea Philippi, Jesus asked his disciples,

riversident@Matthew:16:14 @ They said, "Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; others Jeremiah or some one of the prophets."

riversident@Matthew:16:16 @ Simon Peter said, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."

riversident@Matthew:16:20 @ Then he strictly charged his disciples not to tell any one that he was the Christ.

riversident@Matthew:16:21 @ From that time Jesus began to make plain to his disciples that he had to go away to Jerusalem, and suffer greatly from the elders and high priests and scribes, and be killed and on the third day be raised.

riversident@Matthew:17:2 @ There he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun and his clothes became white as the light.

riversident@Matthew:17:5 @ While he was speaking, a bright cloud suddenly overspread them and a voice issued from the cloud, "This is my Son, the Beloved, in whom I delight. Hear him."

riversident@Matthew:17:6 @ The disciples on hearing this fell on their faces in great terror.

riversident@Matthew:17:9 @ As they were descending the mountain, Jesus charged them,

riversident@Matthew:17:10 @ The disciples asked him, "Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"

riversident@Matthew:17:13 @ Then the disciples understood that he was speaking to them of John the Baptist.

riversident@Matthew:17:14 @ When they reached the crowd, a man came to Jesus and knelt to him and said,

riversident@Matthew:17:15 @ "Sir, have pity on my son, for he is a lunatic and is in a very bad way. For often he falls into the fire and often into the water.

riversident@Matthew:17:18 @ Then Jesus rebuked the demon, and he came out of him and the boy was well from that hour.

riversident@Matthew:17:19 @ Then the disciples came to Jesus aside and said, "Why were we unable to cast it out?"

riversident@Matthew:17:24 @ After they came to Capernaum, the men who were collecting the Temple tax came to Peter and said, "Does not your teacher pay the Temple tax?"

riversident@Matthew:17:25 @ He said, "Yes." But when he went into the house Jesus spoke first to him and said,

riversident@Matthew:18:1 @ AT that time the disciples came to Jesus saying, "Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?"

riversident@Matthew:18:2 @ He called to him a little child and stood him in the midst of them

riversident@Matthew:19:1 @ WHEN Jesus had finished these words, he left Galilee and came within that part of Judaea beyond the Jordan.

riversident@Matthew:19:10 @ His disciples said to him, "If this is the case of a man with his wife, it is better not to marry."

riversident@Matthew:19:20 @ The young man said to him, "All these I have kept. What do I lack still?"

riversident@Matthew:19:22 @ When the young man heard that saying, he went away grieved. For he possessed great wealth.

riversident@Matthew:19:25 @ When the disciples heard this, they were amazed and said, "Who then can be saved?"

riversident@Matthew:20:17 @ As Jesus was about to go up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve aside on the road and said to them,

riversident@Matthew:20:20 @ Then came to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee, with her sons, bowing down to him and making a request of him.

riversident@Matthew:20:21 @ He said to her, She said to him, "Give the command for these two sons of mine to sit one on your right and one on your left in your kingdom."

riversident@Matthew:20:24 @ When the ten heard of this, they were indignant at the two brothers.

riversident@Matthew:20:30 @ Two blind men were sitting at the side of the road, and when they heard that Jesus was passing, they cried out, "Sir, have pity on us, Son of David!"

riversident@Matthew:20:31 @ The crowd rebuked them and told them to be silent. But all the more they cried, "Sir, have pity on us, Son of David!"

riversident@Matthew:21:1 @ WHEN they drew near to Jerusalem and came to Bethphage and the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples,

riversident@Matthew:21:4 @ This happened in order that what was spoken through the prophet might be fulfilled,

riversident@Matthew:21:5 @ "Say to the daughter of Zion, Behold thy king comes to thee, gentle and riding on an ass and on a colt, the foal of a beast of draught."

riversident@Matthew:21:6 @ The disciples went and did as Jesus had bidden them,

riversident@Matthew:21:7 @ and brought the ass and the colt, and spread on them their cloaks and seated him on them.

riversident@Matthew:21:8 @ A very large crowd spread their cloaks in the road, and others cut off branches from the trees and spread them in the road.

riversident@Matthew:21:9 @ The crowds that walked before and those that followed shouted, "God save the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! God in highest heaven save him!"

riversident@Matthew:21:10 @ When he entered Jerusalem all the city was shaken, and people said, "Who is this?"

riversident@Matthew:21:11 @ The crowds said, "This is the prophet Jesus from Nazareth in Galilee."

riversident@Matthew:21:12 @ Jesus went into the Temple courts and drove out all those who were selling and buying there. He overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who were selling doves,

riversident@Matthew:21:14 @ Then blind men and lame men came to him in the Temple courts and he healed them.

riversident@Matthew:21:15 @ When the high priests and the scribes saw the wonders that he did and the children shouting, "God save the Son of David!" they were angry

riversident@Matthew:21:17 @ Then he left them and went out of the city to Bethany and spent the night there.

riversident@Matthew:21:18 @ Early in the morning as he was returning to the city, he was hungry,

riversident@Matthew:21:19 @...said to it, The fig...

riversident@Matthew:21:20 @ Upon seeing this, the disciples were astonished and said, "How suddenly the fig tree withered up!"

riversident@Matthew:21:23 @ When he had gone into the Temple courts, the high priests and the elders of the people came to him as he was teaching and said, "By what authority are you doing this, and who gave you this authority?"

riversident@Matthew:21:26 @ and if we say, 'From men,' we are afraid of the people, for they all hold John for a prophet."

riversident@Matthew:21:41 @ They said to him, "He will put those miserable men to a miserable death, and will let out the vineyard to other grape-growers who will render him the fruits in their seasons."

riversident@Matthew:21:45 @ The high priests and the Pharisees listening to his illustrations knew that he was speaking about them.

riversident@Matthew:21:46 @ They were eager to seize him, but were afraid of the people, for the people held him for a prophet.

riversident@Matthew:22:15 @ Then the Pharisees went and held a consultation how they could entrap him in talk.

riversident@Matthew:22:16 @ They sent to him their disciples with the Herodians and they said, "Teacher, we know that you are truthful and teach the way of God in truth, and that you are afraid of no one, for you do not regard the social standing of men.

riversident@Matthew:22:25 @...with us seven brothers. The first...

riversident@Matthew:22:26 @ So did the second and the third down to the seventh.

riversident@Matthew:22:27 @ The woman died last of all.

riversident@Matthew:22:28 @ In the resurrection, then, which of the seven will have the wife? For they all had her."

riversident@Matthew:22:33 @ The crowd on hearing this were amazed at his teaching.

riversident@Matthew:22:34 @ The Pharisees, hearing that he had silenced the Sadducees, gathered,

riversident@Matthew:22:36 @ "Teacher, which commandment in the law is greatest?"

riversident@Matthew:22:41 @ While the Pharisees were assembled, Jesus asked them a question,

riversident@Matthew:23:1 @ THEN Jesus addressed the crowd and his disciples.

riversident@Matthew:24:1 @ JESUS left the Temple courts and was going away when his disciples came to point out to him the Temple buildings.

riversident@Matthew:24:3 @ While he was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately and said, "Tell us when these things will be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the world?"

riversident@Matthew:26:3 @ Then the high priests and the elders of the people assembled at the house of the High Priest, who was called Caiaphas,

riversident@Matthew:26:5 @ But they said, "Not on the feast day, so that there may not be a riot among the people."

riversident@Matthew:26:6 @ When Jesus had come to Bethany and was in the house of Simon the leper,

riversident@Matthew:26:8 @ On seeing this, the disciples were indignant and said, "Why this waste?

riversident@Matthew:26:9 @ This could have been sold for a large sum and given to the poor."

riversident@Matthew:26:14 @ Then one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, went to the high priests

riversident@Matthew:26:17 @ On the first day of unleavened bread, the disciples came to Jesus and said, "Where do you wish us to prepare for you to eat the Passover?"

riversident@Matthew:26:19 @ The disciples did as Jesus had instructed them and prepared the Passover.

riversident@Matthew:26:20 @ When evening had come, he was reclining at table with the twelve disciples.

riversident@Matthew:26:25 @ Then Judas the traitor asked, "It is not I, Rabbi?" Jesus replied,

riversident@Matthew:26:30 @ After singing a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

riversident@Matthew:26:35 @ Peter said to him, "Even if I have to die with you, I will not disown you." And so said all of the disciples.

riversident@Matthew:26:36 @ Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to the disciples,

riversident@Matthew:26:37 @ He took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be grieved and distressed.

riversident@Matthew:26:40 @ Then he came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter,

riversident@Matthew:26:44 @ So he left them and went away again and prayed a third time, saying again the same words.

riversident@Matthew:26:45 @ Then he came to the disciples and said to them,

riversident@Matthew:26:47 @ While he was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, came and with him a great crowd with swords and clubs, sent by the high priests and elders of the people.

riversident@Matthew:26:48 @ The traitor had given them a sign, saying, "The one I kiss is he. Arrest him."

riversident@Matthew:26:51 @ Suddenly one of those with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the High Priest, cutting off his ear.

riversident@Matthew:26:55 @ Jesus said to the crowd,

riversident@Matthew:26:56 ... Then all...

riversident@Matthew:26:57 @ The men who had arrested Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the High Priest, at whose house the scribes and elders had assembled.

riversident@Matthew:26:58 @ Peter followed him at a distance as far as the court of the High Priest, and went in and sat among the attendants to see the end.

riversident@Matthew:26:59 @ The high priests and the whole council sought for false testimony against Jesus, so that they might put him to death.

riversident@Matthew:26:61 @ and said, "This man said, 'I can pull down the Temple of God and in three days build it up again.' "

riversident@Matthew:26:62 @ The High Priest rose and said to him, "Have you no answer? What is it that these are testifying to against you?"

riversident@Matthew:26:63 @...But Jesus kept silence. The High...

riversident@Matthew:26:65 @ Then the High Priest rent his garments, saying, "Impious words! Why do we any longer need witnesses? See, you have now heard his impious words.

riversident@Matthew:26:68 @ saying, "Act the prophet for us, you Christ! Who was it that struck you? "

riversident@Matthew:26:69 @ Peter was sitting outside in the court. A maid came up to him and said, "You too were with Jesus the Galilaean."

riversident@Matthew:26:71 @ When he had gone out into the gateway, another maid saw him and said to those who were there, "This man was with Jesus the Nazarene."

riversident@Matthew:26:72 @ Then again he denied with an oath, "I do not know the man."

riversident@Matthew:26:74 @ Then he began to curse and swear, "I do not know the man." Immediately the cock crew, and

riversident@Matthew:27:1 @ WHEN morning came all the high priests and the elders of the people consulted together against Jesus to put him to death.

riversident@Matthew:27:2 @ After binding him, they led him away and handed him over to Pilate the Governor.

riversident@Matthew:27:3 @ Then Judas, who had betrayed him, when he saw that Jesus had been condemned, was sorry and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the high priests and elders,

riversident@Matthew:27:5 @ Then throwing the silver into the Temple he left and went and hung himself.

riversident@Matthew:27:6 @ The high priests took the money and said, "It is not proper to put it in with the consecrated gifts, since it is the price of blood."

riversident@Matthew:27:7 @ So after consultation they bought with it the potter's field for the burial of strangers.

riversident@Matthew:27:8 @ For this reason that field is called the "Field of Blood" to this day.

riversident@Matthew:27:9 @ Then was fulfilled what was said through Jeremiah the prophet, "And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him who was priced, whom they priced from the sons of Israel,

riversident@Matthew:27:10 @ and gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord commanded me."

riversident@Matthew:27:12 @ While he was being accused by the high priests and elders, he answered nothing.

riversident@Matthew:27:14 @ But Jesus did not answer even one word, so that the Governor was much astonished.

riversident@Matthew:27:15 @ At every feast the Governor was accustomed to release for the people one prisoner, whomever they chose.

riversident@Matthew:27:19 @ While he was sitting on the judge's seat, his wife sent to him a message, "Do not have anything to do with that righteous man. For I have suffered much to-day in a dream because of him."

riversident@Matthew:27:20 @ The high priests and the elders persuaded the crowd to ask for Barabbas and destroy Jesus.

riversident@Matthew:27:21 @...to release for you?" They said,...

riversident@Matthew:27:24 @ When Pilate saw that he was doing no good, but rather that an uproar was arising, he took some water and washed his hands before the crowd and said, "I am innocent of this blood. You will have to see to it."

riversident@Matthew:27:25 @ All the people answered, "His blood be on us and on our children!"

riversident@Matthew:27:27 @ Then the soldiers of the Governor took Jesus with them into the castle and gathered about him all the battalion.

riversident@Matthew:27:29 @ twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head, put a reed into his right hand, and, going down on their knees before him, made sport of him, shouting, "Hail, King of the Jews!"

riversident@Matthew:27:30 @ They spit on him, and took the reed and struck him on the head.

riversident@Matthew:27:31 @ After they had finished making sport of him, they took off from him the crimson cloak and put his own clothes on him, and led him away to crucifixion.

riversident@Matthew:27:32 @ As they were going out, they chanced upon a man from Cyrene by the name of Simon. This man they impressed to carry the cross of Jesus.

riversident@Matthew:27:37 @ Above his head they put up the charge against him in writing:

riversident@Matthew:27:38 @ At the same time there were crucified along with him two robbers, one on his right and one on his left.

riversident@Matthew:27:39 @ The people who went by insulted him, shaking their heads

riversident@Matthew:27:40 @ and saying, "You who can pull down the Temple and in three days build it up, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross!"

riversident@Matthew:27:41 @ In the same way the high priests, making sport of him, along with the scribes and elders, kept saying,

riversident@Matthew:27:42 @ "He saved others; he cannot save himself. He is the King of Israel; let him come down now from the cross and we will believe in him.

riversident@Matthew:27:43 @ He trusted in God, let him deliver him now if he wants him, for he said, 'I am the Son of God.' "

riversident@Matthew:27:44 @ In the same way even the robbers who were crucified with him insulted him.

riversident@Matthew:27:45 @ From noon darkness came over all the land until three o'clock.

riversident@Matthew:27:53 @ and, coming out of the tombs after his resurrection, they entered into the holy city and appeared to many.

riversident@Matthew:27:54 @ The Centurion and his men who were guarding Jesus, when they saw the earthquake and the things that happened, were greatly terrified and said, "Truly this man was a son of God!"

riversident@Matthew:27:56 @ Among them were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

riversident@Matthew:27:57 @ In the late afternoon there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was a disciple of Jesus.

riversident@Matthew:27:58 @ This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus, and Pilate ordered it to be given to him.

riversident@Matthew:27:59 @ Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen sheet

riversident@Matthew:27:60 @...hewn in the rock. Then he...

riversident@Matthew:27:61 @ Mary Magdalene remained there and the other Mary, sitting opposite the tomb.

riversident@Matthew:27:62 @ On the next day, that is, the day after the Preparation, the high priests and the Pharisees gathered about Pilate

riversident@Matthew:27:64 @ So give orders to have the tomb guarded until the third day. Otherwise his disciples may come and steal him away and tell the people, 'He has been raised from the dead,' and the last error will be worse than the first."

riversident@Matthew:27:66 @ They went and made the tomb secure by sealing the stone as well as setting a watch.

riversident@Matthew:28:1 @ LATE on the Sabbath, as the first day of the week was drawing near, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to look at the tomb.

riversident@Matthew:28:2 @ And suddenly there was a great earthquake. For an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came to the stone and rolled it away and sat upon it.

riversident@Matthew:28:4 @ For fear of him the guards trembled violently and became like dead men.

riversident@Matthew:28:5 @ The angel said to the women, "Do not you be afraid. For I know that you are looking for Jesus who was crucified.

riversident@Matthew:28:7 @...precede you to Galilee. There you...

riversident@Matthew:28:8 @ They left the tomb quickly with fear and great joy and ran to tell his disciples.

riversident@Matthew:28:11 @ While they were going, some of the guard came into the city and brought word to the high priests of all that had happened.

riversident@Matthew:28:12 @ After assembling with the elders and holding a consultation, they gave a good deal of money to the soldiers

riversident@Matthew:28:13 @ and said, "Say, 'His disciples came in the night and stole him away while we were asleep,'

riversident@Matthew:28:14 @ and if this comes to the ears of the Governor we will persuade him and free you from trouble."

riversident@Matthew:28:15 @ The soldiers took the money and did as they were instructed. And this report has been spread among the Jews to this day.

riversident@Matthew:28:16 @ The eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had appointed to meet them,

riversident@Mark:1:1 @ THE Beginning of the Good News of Jesus Christ.

riversident@Mark:1:2 @ It is written in Isaiah the prophet, "Behold, I am sending my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way.

riversident@Mark:1:3 @ The voice of one crying in the wilderness, 'Make ready the way of the Lord; make his paths straight' ";

riversident@Mark:1:4 @ just so John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness, preaching the baptism of a change of heart for forgiveness of sins.

riversident@Mark:1:5 @ All the land of Judaea and all the people of Jerusalem went out to him and were baptized by him in the Jordan river, confessing their sins.

riversident@Mark:1:7 @ He proclaimed, "One is coming after me who is more powerful than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop and loose.

riversident@Mark:1:8 @ I have baptized you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit."

riversident@Mark:1:9 @ In those days Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan.

riversident@Mark:1:10 @ Immediately as he was coming up from the water he saw the heavens opened and the Spirit as a dove descending upon him.

riversident@Mark:1:11 @ And there was a voice from the heavens, "Thou art my Son, my Beloved; in thee I am well pleased."

riversident@Mark:1:12 @ Immediately the spirit impelled him to go out into the wild lands.

riversident@Mark:1:13 @...days, tempted by Satan. There he...

riversident@Mark:1:14 @ After John had been betrayed, Jesus came into Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God

riversident@Mark:1:16 @ As he passed along by the lake of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew, casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen.

riversident@Mark:1:19 @ Going on a little farther, he saw James the son of Zebedee and his brother John in their boat, mending their net.

riversident@Mark:1:20 @...Immediately he called them. They left...

riversident@Mark:1:21 @ They came into Capernaum. Immediately on the Sabbath he went into the synagogue and taught.

riversident@Mark:1:22 @ The people were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as if he had authority, and not as the scribes.

riversident@Mark:1:23 @ There was in their synagogue a man wider the power of an impure spirit, and he immediately cried out,

riversident@Mark:1:24 @ "What have you to do with us, Nazarene Jesus? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are \'97 the Holy one of God."

riversident@Mark:1:26 @ Then the impure spirit convulsed him, and screamed loudly and came out.

riversident@Mark:1:27 @ They were all amazed so that they discussed together, "What is this? A new powerful teaching! He commands even the impure spirits and they obey him!"

riversident@Mark:1:28 @ So reports about him immediately spread everywhere through the whole region of Galilee.

riversident@Mark:1:29 @ As soon as they had come out of the synagogue, they entered the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.

riversident@Mark:1:30 @ The mother-in-law of Simon was lying sick with fever. Immediately they told him about her.

riversident@Mark:1:31 @...and lifted her up. The fever...

riversident@Mark:1:32 @ When evening came and the sun had set, they brought to him all the sick and those who were afflicted with demons;

riversident@Mark:1:33 @ and the whole city was gathered before the door.

riversident@Mark:1:34 @ He healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons, not allowing the demons to talk, because they knew him.

riversident@Mark:1:35 @ Early in the morning, while it was still night, he rose and went out, and went away into a solitary place and there prayed.

riversident@Mark:1:42 @ Immediately the leprosy left him and he became clean.

riversident@Mark:1:45 @ But the man went away and began to proclaim freely and to spread the report, so that Jesus was no longer able to enter openly into any city, but stayed out in the wild country, and people came to him from every direction.

riversident@Mark:2:1 @ HE came again into Capernaum, and after some days it was heard that he was in the house.

riversident@Mark:2:2 @ Many came together, so that there was no longer room even near the door, and he preached to them.

riversident@Mark:2:4 @ Not being able to bring him near, owing to the crowd, they opened the roof where he was, and when they had broken through it, they let down the pallet on which the paralytic was lying.

riversident@Mark:2:5 @ When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic,

riversident@Mark:2:6 @ There were some of the scribes sitting there and debating in their minds,

riversident@Mark:2:10 @ turning to the paralytic he said,

riversident@Mark:2:12 @ Immediately the man rose and took up his pallet and went out before all, so that they were astounded and gave praise to God, saying, "We have never seen anything like this!"

riversident@Mark:2:13 @ Jesus went out again beside the lake, and all the crowd came to him and he taught them.

riversident@Mark:2:14 @ As he was passing along, he saw Levi, the son of Alphaeus, sitting at the tax office and said to him, He arose and followed.

riversident@Mark:2:16 @ When the scribes and the Pharisees saw that he was eating with sinners and tax collectors, they said to his disciples, "Can it be that he eats with tax collectors and sinners?"

riversident@Mark:2:18 @...the Pharisees were fasting. They came...

riversident@Mark:2:23 @ It happened on a Sabbath day that he was passing through the grainfields, and his disciples began, as they walked, to pluck the heads of grain.

riversident@Mark:2:24 @ The Pharisees said to him, "See what they are doing on the Sabbath \'97 something that is not allowable."

riversident@Mark:3:1 @ HE went another time into the synagogue and there was present a man with a withered hand.

riversident@Mark:3:2 @ They watched him to see whether he would heal him on the Sabbath, so that they might have something to say against him.

riversident@Mark:3:3 @ He said to the man with the withered hand,

riversident@Mark:3:5 @ He looked round on them with anger, grieved at the hardness of their hearts, and said to the man, He stretched the hand out and it was completely restored.

riversident@Mark:3:6 @ The Pharisees went out immediately and joined with the Herodians in a plot to put him out of the way.

riversident@Mark:3:7 @ Then Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the lake and a great number from Galilee followed him. Also from Judaea

riversident@Mark:3:8 @ and from Jerusalem and from Idumaea and from beyond the Jordan and from the neighborhood of Tyre and Sidon, a great number, hearing of all that he was doing, came to him.

riversident@Mark:3:9 @ Jesus spoke to his disciples to have a little boat ready for his use on account of the throng, to prevent them from pressing upon him.

riversident@Mark:3:11 @ The impure spirits, also, when they saw him, fell down before him and shouted, "You are the Son of God."

riversident@Mark:3:13 @ Jesus went up on the mountain and invited whom he chose, and they came to him.

riversident@Mark:3:16 @ He appointed these twelve: Simon, to whom he gave the name Peter (note:)Rock(:note),

riversident@Mark:3:17 @ James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, to whom he gave the name Boanerges, which means Sons of Thunder,

riversident@Mark:3:18 @ Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, Thaddeus, Simon the Zealot,

riversident@Mark:3:20 @ and the crowd gathered again so that they were not able even to eat bread.

riversident@Mark:3:22 @ The scribes who had come down from Jerusalem were saying, "He has Beelzebul in him, and by the Chief of the demons he casts out demons."

riversident@Mark:3:34 @ Looking round at those sitting in the circle about him he said,

riversident@Mark:4:1 @ AGAIN Jesus began to teach beside the lake, and a very great crowd gathered around him, so that he got into a boat on the lake and sat down, and all the crowd was on the shore near the lake.

riversident@Mark:4:10 @ When he was alone, his close friends and the twelve asked him about the illustrations.

riversident@Mark:4:36 @...was, in the boat. There were...

riversident@Mark:4:37 @ Then a heavy squall of wind came up and the waves beat into the boat so that it was filling.

riversident@Mark:4:39 @...to the sea, The wind...

riversident@Mark:4:41 @ But they were intensely awestruck and said to one another, "Who, then, is this, that even the wind and the lake obey him?"

riversident@Mark:5:1 @ THEY came to the other side of the lake, to the land of the Gerasenes.

riversident@Mark:5:2 @ When he got out of the boat, immediately there came out of the tombs to meet him a man under the power of an impure spirit.

riversident@Mark:5:3 @ This man made his dwelling in the tombs, and nobody could bind him even with a chain,

riversident@Mark:5:4 @ because he had often been bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been torn apart and the fetters broken in pieces by him, and no one was strong enough to tame him.

riversident@Mark:5:5 @ All night and all day long he was in the tombs and in the mountains, shrieking and cutting himself with stones.

riversident@Mark:5:10 @ Then he begged Jesus earnestly not to send them out of the country.

riversident@Mark:5:11 @ There was on the mountain-side a great herd of swine feeding,

riversident@Mark:5:12 @ and the demons begged him, "Send us to the swine and let us go into them."

riversident@Mark:5:13 @...entered into the swine. Then the...

riversident@Mark:5:14 @ At this, those who were feeding them fled and told it in the city and in the fields, and people came to see what had happened.

riversident@Mark:5:15 @...in his right mind. They were...

riversident@Mark:5:16 @ Those who had seen it told them about what had happened to the demoniac and about the swine.

riversident@Mark:5:18 @ As Jesus was entering the boat, the man who had been demoniac begged him to let him stay with him.

riversident@Mark:5:21 @ When Jesus had recrossed in the boat to the other side of the lake, a great crowd gathered around him as he stood on the shore.

riversident@Mark:5:22 @ Then came one of the directors of the synagogue, by the name of Jairus, and as soon as he saw Jesus he fell at his feet

riversident@Mark:5:26 @ and had suffered much under the treatment of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, though without becoming better, but rather worse;

riversident@Mark:5:27 @ this woman had heard about Jesus, and she came in the crowd behind him and touched his cloak,

riversident@Mark:5:30 @ Jesus was at once conscious that power had gone from him, and turned in the crowd and said,

riversident@Mark:5:31 @ His disciples replied, "You see the people crowding you, and do you ask,

riversident@Mark:5:35 @ While he was still speaking, people came from the house of the synagogue Director and told him, "Your daughter is dead; why annoy the teacher any longer?"

riversident@Mark:5:36 @ But Jesus, overhearing what they were saying, said to the Director,

riversident@Mark:5:37 @ He did not permit any one to accompany him except Peter and James and John, the brother of James.

riversident@Mark:5:38 @ When they approached the Director's house, they saw a noisy crowd weeping loudly and wailing.

riversident@Mark:5:40 @...they laughed at him. Then he...

riversident@Mark:5:41 @ Taking hold of the child's hand he said to her, which means,

riversident@Mark:5:42 @...was twelve years old. They were...

riversident@Mark:6:2 @ When the Sabbath came, he began teaching in the synagogue. Many who heard were astonished and said, "Where did he get this, and what is this wisdom with which he is gifted? How are such deeds of power done by his hands?

riversident@Mark:6:3 @ Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James and Joseph and Judas and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us?" So they fell into mistake regarding him.

riversident@Mark:6:6 @ Their lack of faith astonished him. He made a circuit through the villages, teaching.

riversident@Mark:6:7 @ Then he called together the twelve and began to send them out two by two, and gave them authority over impure spirits,

riversident@Mark:6:14 @ The name of Jesus was so much talked about that King Herod heard of it. Some were saying, "John the Baptizer has risen from the dead, and therefore these mighty works are done by him."

riversident@Mark:6:15 @ Others said, "It is Elijah," and others said, "It is a prophet like one of the old prophets."

riversident@Mark:6:16 @ But Herod, when he heard about him, said, "John, the man whom I beheaded, has risen again."

riversident@Mark:6:17 @ Herod himself had sent and arrested John and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, whom he had married.

riversident@Mark:6:21 @ But an opportunity came for Herodias when Herod, on his birthday, gave a feast to his high officials and military officers and the leading men of Galilee.

riversident@Mark:6:26 @ This made the King very sorry, but on account of his oaths and his guests he was unwilling to refuse her.

riversident@Mark:6:27 @...to bring John's head. The soldier...

riversident@Mark:6:28 @ and brought the head on a platter and gave it to the girl, and she gave it to her mother.

riversident@Mark:6:29 @ When John's disciples heard about it, they came and took the body and laid it in a tomb.

riversident@Mark:6:30 @ The apostles gathered back to Jesus and reported to him all that they had done and all that they had taught.

riversident@Mark:6:33 @ But many saw them going and recognized them, and ran together by land from all the towns and got there before them.

riversident@Mark:6:35 @ By this time it was late in the day, and his disciples came to him and said, "This is an uninhabited place and the hour is already late.

riversident@Mark:6:39 @ Then he told them to have all the people recline in groups on the green grass.

riversident@Mark:6:41 @...distribute to the people. The two...

riversident@Mark:6:43 @ and they picked up twelve basketfuls of the broken pieces of the bread, besides portions of the fishes.

riversident@Mark:6:44 @ There were five thousand men who ate of the loaves.

riversident@Mark:6:45 @ Jesus immediately had his disciples get into the boat and cross before him to Bethsaida while he was dismissing the crowd.

riversident@Mark:6:46 @ After taking leave of them, he went away up the mountain to pray.

riversident@Mark:6:47 @ When evening had fallen, the boat was half across the lake and he was alone on the land.

riversident@Mark:6:48 @ He saw them distressed in rowing, for the wind was against them. About the fourth watch of the night, he came to them walking on the lake and he seemed to be going past them.

riversident@Mark:6:49 @ But when they saw him walking on the lake, they thought that it was a ghost and cried out.

riversident@Mark:6:51 @...and the wind dropped. They were...

riversident@Mark:6:52 @ for they had not grasped the miracle of the loaves because their minds were dull.

riversident@Mark:6:53 @ When they had crossed to the land they came to Gennesaret and dropped anchor.

riversident@Mark:6:54 @ As soon as they got out of the boat, the people recognized Jesus

riversident@Mark:6:55 @ and hurried over all that region and brought in the sick on pallets wherever they heard that he was.

riversident@Mark:6:56 @ Whenever he went into villages or towns or among the farms they would lay the sick in the streets and beg him to let them touch at least the tassel of his cloak. And all who touched were healed.

riversident@Mark:7:1 @ ONCE the Pharisees gathered about him with some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem,

riversident@Mark:7:3 @ For the Pharisees and all the Jews never eat without first washing their hands up to the wrist, holding faithfully to the tradition of their forefathers,

riversident@Mark:7:5 @ The Pharisees and scribes asked him, "Why do not your disciples live according to the tradition of our fore-fathers? Why do they eat their bread with common hands?"

riversident@Mark:7:14 @ Then, calling the crowd to him again, he said to them,

riversident@Mark:7:17 @ After he had gone into the house, his disciples asked about his figurative language.

riversident@Mark:7:24 @ Leaving that place, Jesus went into the borders of Tyre. He entered a house and did not wish any one to know it, but he could not escape notice.

riversident@Mark:7:26 @ The woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race. She begged him to cast the demon out of her daughter.

riversident@Mark:7:28 @ She answered, "Yes, Sir, even the dogs under the table eat from the children's crumbs."

riversident@Mark:7:30 @ She returned to her house and found the child lying on the bed and the demon gone.

riversident@Mark:7:31 @ Again leaving the region of Tyre, he came through Sidon to the lake of Galilee into the midst of the region of Decapolis.

riversident@Mark:7:33 @ He took him aside from the crowd, put his fingers into his ears, and touched his tongue with spit.

riversident@Mark:7:36 @ Jesus gave them strict orders not to tell any one. But the more he forbade them the more widely they spread it,

riversident@Mark:7:37 @ for they were astonished beyond all bounds and said, "He has done everything well. He makes the deaf hear and the dumb speak."

riversident@Mark:8:4 @ His disciples answered, "Where will any one be able to get bread to supply these people here in the uninhabited country?"

riversident@Mark:8:6 @...recline on the ground. Then he...

riversident@Mark:8:7 @...a few small fishes. These he...

riversident@Mark:8:8 @ All ate and were satisfied, and they picked up of the fragments that were left over seven basketfuls.

riversident@Mark:8:10 @ At once he got into a boat with the disciples and went to the region of Dalmanutha.

riversident@Mark:8:11 @ The Pharisees came out and began to argue with him, asking him for a sign from heaven, in order to test him.

riversident@Mark:8:13 @ Then he left them and got into the boat again and went away across the lake.

riversident@Mark:8:14 @ They had forgotten to take bread, and except one loaf they had none with them in the boat.

riversident@Mark:8:23 @...out of the village. Then, after...

riversident@Mark:8:24 @ He looked up and said, "I see the people; I see them like trees, walking around."

riversident@Mark:8:27 @ Jesus went away with his disciples to the villages round Caesarea Philippi. On the road he asked them,

riversident@Mark:8:28 @ They replied, "Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; others say one of the prophets."

riversident@Mark:8:29 @ He asked them, Peter answered, "You are the Christ."

riversident@Mark:8:31 @ Then he began and taught them that it was necessary for the Son of Man to suffer many things, and to be rejected by the elders and the high priests and the scribes, and to be put to death, and after three days to rise again.

riversident@Mark:8:33 @ He turned and looked at his disciples and reproved Peter with the words,

riversident@Mark:8:34 @ Then he called the crowd along with his disciples and said to them,

riversident@Mark:9:7 @ Then a cloud overshadowed them and there came a voice out of the cloud, "This is my beloved son, hear him."

riversident@Mark:9:9 @ When they were descending the mountain, he told them not to tell any one what they had seen until the Son of Man had risen from the dead.

riversident@Mark:9:10 @ This command they kept, but debated among themselves what the rising from the dead was.

riversident@Mark:9:11 @ They asked him, "Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"

riversident@Mark:9:15 @ At once the whole crowd saw him and were amazed, and they ran to him and welcomed him.

riversident@Mark:9:17 @ One of the crowd answered, "Teacher, I have brought my son to you. He has a dumb spirit,

riversident@Mark:9:18 @ and whenever it attacks him it convulses him and he foams at the mouth and grinds his teeth. He is wasting away. I asked your disciples to cast it out, but they had not the power."

riversident@Mark:9:20 @ They brought him to him. As soon as the spirit saw Jesus, he convulsed the boy so that he fell on the ground and rolled about, foaming at the mouth.

riversident@Mark:9:21 @ Jesus asked the father, He said, "From early childhood.

riversident@Mark:9:22 @ Often it has thrown him into the fire or into the water to destroy him. But if you can do anything, have pity on us and help us."

riversident@Mark:9:24 @ At once the father of the child cried out, "I believe; help my unbelief."

riversident@Mark:9:25 @ Jesus saw that the crowd was rapidly increasing, so he rebuked the impure spirit with the words,

riversident@Mark:9:26 @...boy and came out. The boy...

riversident@Mark:9:27 @ But Jesus took him by the hand and raised him and he stood up.

riversident@Mark:9:28 @ After he had gone into the house, his disciples asked him privately, "Why were we not able to cast it out?"

riversident@Mark:9:31 @ For he was teaching his disciples and telling them that the Son of Man would be betrayed into the hands of men and that they would kill him, and that three days after being killed he would rise.

riversident@Mark:9:33 @ They came to Capernaum. After entering the house, Jesus asked them,

riversident@Mark:9:34 @ They were silent, for on the road they had disputed among themselves which was the greatest.

riversident@Mark:9:35 @ Taking a seat he called the twelve, and said,

riversident@Mark:9:36 @ Then he took a little child and placed him in the midst of them, and, putting his arms around him, said,

riversident@Mark:10:1 @ STARTING from there, he came into the land of Judaea and beyond the Jordan. Again the people crowded to him, and again as usual he was teaching them.

riversident@Mark:10:10 @ When they were in the house, his disciples asked him again about this.

riversident@Mark:10:17 @ While he was going out into the road, a man came running and knelt before him and asked, "Good teacher, what shall I do to inherit life eternal?"

riversident@Mark:10:24 @ The disciples were astonished at his words. Jesus spoke again and said,

riversident@Mark:10:32 @...were following were fearful. Then again...

riversident@Mark:10:35 @ James and John the sons of Zebedee came to him and said, "Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask you."

riversident@Mark:10:37 @ They said, "Grant that one of us may sit on your right hand and the other on your left hand in your glory."

riversident@Mark:10:41 @ When the ten heard about this, they became indignant at James and John.

riversident@Mark:10:46 @ They came to Jericho. As Jesus was leaving Jericho with his disciples and a large crowd, Bartimaeus (note:)the son of Timaeus(:note), a blind beggar, was sitting by the roadside.

riversident@Mark:10:47 @ When he heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out and say, "Son of David, Jesus, pity me!"

riversident@Mark:10:49 @...stopped and said, They called...

riversident@Mark:10:51 @...said to him, The blind...

riversident@Mark:10:52 @ Jesus said, At once he could see and followed Jesus along the road.

riversident@Mark:11:1 @ WHEN they were approaching Jerusalem, near Bethphage and Bethany, on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples

riversident@Mark:11:4 @ They went and found the colt tied near the door outside in the street, and they untied him.

riversident@Mark:11:5 @ Some of those who were standing there said to them, "What are you doing, untying the colt?"

riversident@Mark:11:6 @ They gave the reply that Jesus had told them to give, and the men let them take it.

riversident@Mark:11:7 @ They brought the colt to Jesus and threw upon it their cloaks and he mounted it.

riversident@Mark:11:8 @ Then many spread their cloaks in the road and others spread leafy branches which they had cut from the fields.

riversident@Mark:11:9 @ Some went in front and some followed, shouting, "God save him! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!

riversident@Mark:11:10 @ Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David! God in highest heaven save him!"

riversident@Mark:11:11 @ He entered Jerusalem and came into the Temple courts. After inspecting everything, because it was already late he went out to Bethany with the twelve.

riversident@Mark:11:12 @ On the next morning, after they had left Bethany, he was hungry,

riversident@Mark:11:13 @ and seeing a fig tree at a distance in full leaf he went to it on the chance of finding something on it. But when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs.

riversident@Mark:11:15 @ They came to Jerusalem, and he went into the Temple courts and began to cast out those who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of the dove-sellers,

riversident@Mark:11:16 @ and would not allow any one to carry anything through the Temple courts,

riversident@Mark:11:18 @ When the high priests and the scribes heard of this they tried to contrive to put him out of the way, for they were afraid of him because the people were deeply impressed by his teaching.

riversident@Mark:11:19 @ When evening came, Jesus and his disciples used to go out of the city.

riversident@Mark:11:20 @ As they were passing by early in the morning they saw the fig tree withered from the roots.

riversident@Mark:11:21 @ Peter, calling to mind, said to him, "Rabbi, see, the fig tree that you cursed has withered up."

riversident@Mark:11:27 @ They came again to Jerusalem, and as he was walking about in the Temple courts, the high priests and the scribes came to him

riversident@Mark:11:32 @ But if we say, 'From men,' \'97 they feared the people, for all regarded John as really a prophet.

riversident@Mark:12:12 @ They kept trying to seize him, but were afraid of the crowd. For they knew that he had meant the illustration for them. So they left him and went away.

riversident@Mark:12:13 @ Then they sent to him some of the Pharisees and of the Herodians to entrap him in his talk.

riversident@Mark:12:14 @ When they came, they said to him, "Teacher, we know that you are true and are not afraid of any one; for you do not look at the social standing of men, but you teach the way of God in truth. Is it right to pay tribute to Caesar or not?

riversident@Mark:12:19 @ "Teacher, Moses wrote a law for us that if any man's brother dies and leaves a wife, but no child, the brother shall take the wife and raise up off-spring for his brother.

riversident@Mark:12:20 @...there were seven brothers. The first...

riversident@Mark:12:21 @ then the second took her and died leaving no child, then the third likewise.

riversident@Mark:12:22 @ None of the seven left any child. Last of all the woman died also.

riversident@Mark:12:23 @ In the resurrection when they rise again whose wife will she be? For the seven had her as wife."

riversident@Mark:12:28 @ Then came one of the scribes, and, after listening to their discussion and knowing that he had answered them well, asked, "Which is the first commandment of all?"

riversident@Mark:12:32 @ The scribe said to him, "Right, teacher; you have said truly that he is one and there is no other beside him,

riversident@Mark:12:33 @ and to love him with all the heart and with all the understanding and with all the strength and to love one's neighbor as one's self is more than all the whole burnt offerings and sacrifices."

riversident@Mark:12:35 @ Then Jesus asked, while teaching in the Temple courts,

riversident@Mark:12:41 @ Having seated himself across from the contribution box, he was watching how the crowd dropped money into the box. Many rich people were dropping in large gifts.

riversident@Mark:13:1 @ AS he was going out of the Temple courts, one of his disciples said to him, "Teacher, see what great stones and what great buildings!"

riversident@Mark:13:3 @ Then, when he was sitting on the Mount of Olives across from the Temple buildings, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,

riversident@Mark:13:4 @ "Tell us when these things will be, and what will be the sign when all these things are about to come to pass?"

riversident@Mark:14:1 @...come after two days. The high...

riversident@Mark:14:2 @ For they said, "Not at the feast; there might be a popular outbreak."

riversident@Mark:14:3 @ During his stay in Bethany in the house of Simon the Leper, while he was reclining at table there came a woman with an alabaster jar of pure nard perfume, very costly. She broke the jar and poured the perfume on his head.

riversident@Mark:14:4 @ Some were indignant among themselves and said, "For what purpose was this waste of the perfume?

riversident@Mark:14:5 @ This perfume could have been sold for more than three hundred shillings and the money given to the poor." So they were indignant at her.

riversident@Mark:14:10 @ Then Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve, went away to the high priests to betray him to them.

riversident@Mark:14:12 @ On the first day of unleavened bread \'97 when they sacrificed the Passover lamb \'97 his disciples said to him, "Where do you wish us to go and prepare for you to eat the Passover?"

riversident@Mark:14:16 @ The disciples went and entered the city and found everything as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover.

riversident@Mark:14:17 @ In the evening Jesus came with the twelve.

riversident@Mark:14:26 @ After singing a hymn they went out to the Mount of Olives.

riversident@Mark:14:35 @ Then he went forward a little and fell on the ground, and prayed that if it were possible the hour might pass from him.

riversident@Mark:14:39 @ Then he went away again and prayed, saying the same words.

riversident@Mark:14:41 @ He came back the third time and said to them,

riversident@Mark:14:43 @...with swords and clubs. They had...

riversident@Mark:14:44 @ The traitor had given them a sign, "The man I kiss, that is he. Seize him and take him safely away."

riversident@Mark:14:47 @ But one of those who stood near drew his sword and struck a servant of the High Priest, cutting off his ear.

riversident@Mark:14:52 @ but he left the linen cloth and fled naked.

riversident@Mark:14:53 @ They led Jesus away to the High Priest, and all the high priests and elders and scribes assembled.

riversident@Mark:14:54 @ Peter followed him at a distance and came inside the court of the High Priest and sat with the attendants, and warmed himself in the light of the fire.

riversident@Mark:14:55 @ The high priests and all the council tried to get testimony against Jesus in order to put him to death, but they could not find any.

riversident@Mark:14:60 @ Then the High Priest rose and came forward into the midst and questioned Jesus, "Have you no answer? What about this evidence against you?"

riversident@Mark:14:61 @ But he was silent and did not answer a word. Again the High Priest questioned him, "Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?"

riversident@Mark:14:63 @ Then the High Priest rent his garments and said, "Why do we any longer have need of witnesses?

riversident@Mark:14:65 @ Then some began to spit on him and to blindfold him and to strike him with their fists and say, "Prophesy," and the attendants slapped him as they took him in charge.

riversident@Mark:14:66 @ While Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the maids of the High Priest came,

riversident@Mark:14:67 @ and when she saw Peter warming himself she looked at him and said, "You too were with the Nazarene, this Jesus."

riversident@Mark:14:68 @...what you are saying." Then he...

riversident@Mark:14:69 @ There the maid saw him and began again to say to those who stood around, "This man is one of them."

riversident@Mark:14:70 @ But he again denied. Again after a little the men who were standing by said to Peter, "Truly you are one of them, for you are a Galilaean."

riversident@Mark:14:72 @ Immediately, for the second time, the cock crew and Peter remembered what Jesus had said to him, and when he thought of it he wept aloud.

riversident@Mark:15:1 @ PROMPTLY at dawn the high priests, after holding a consultation with the elders and the scribes and the whole council, bound Jesus and led him away and delivered him over to Pilate.

riversident@Mark:15:2 @ Pilate asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" He answered him,

riversident@Mark:15:3 @ The high priests went on making many charges against him.

riversident@Mark:15:7 @ There was a man called Barabbas in chains among those insurrectionaries who in the insurrection had committed murder.

riversident@Mark:15:8 @ The crowd advanced and began asking him to do as he was accustomed to do for them.

riversident@Mark:15:9 @ Pilate answered them, "Do you want me to release for you the King of the Jews?"

riversident@Mark:15:10 @ For he knew that it was on account of envy that the high priests had handed him over.

riversident@Mark:15:11 @ But the high priests incited the crowd to have him rather set free Barabbas for them.

riversident@Mark:15:12 @ Pilate again asked, "What, then, shall I do with him whom you call the King of the Jews?"

riversident@Mark:15:15 @ Then Pilate, wishing to satisfy the crowd, set free Barabbas for them and after scourging Jesus handed him over to be crucified.

riversident@Mark:15:16 @ The soldiers led him away inside the courtyard of the castle and called together the whole battalion.

riversident@Mark:15:18 @ and they began to salute him, "Hail, King of the Jews!"

riversident@Mark:15:19 @ They kept striking him on the head with a reed and spitting on him, and bending their knees they did homage to him.

riversident@Mark:15:20 @...own clothes on him. Then they...

riversident@Mark:15:21 @ They impressed a man who was passing by, Simon, a Cyrenian, who was coming in from the country (note:)the father of Alexander and Rufus(:note), to carry his cross.

riversident@Mark:15:22 @ So they brought him to the place Golgotha, which means Skull Place.

riversident@Mark:15:25 @ It was nine in the morning when they crucified him.

riversident@Mark:15:26 @ The statement of his crime was written up over him:

riversident@Mark:15:29 @ The people who passed by scoffed at him, shaking their heads and saying, "Ha, you who can pull down the Temple and build it up in three days,

riversident@Mark:15:30 @ save yourself by coining down from the cross."

riversident@Mark:15:31 @ In the same way the high priests, jesting with one another, and the scribes said, "He saved others; himself he cannot save.

riversident@Mark:15:32 @ Let the Christ, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross so that we may see and believe." Even the men who were crucified along with him reviled him.

riversident@Mark:15:33 @ At noon darkness fell on all the land and continued until three o'clock.

riversident@Mark:15:35 @ Some of the bystanders, when they heard this, said, "See, he is calling Elijah."

riversident@Mark:15:38 @ Then the curtain in the Temple was torn in two from top to bottom.

riversident@Mark:15:39 @ When the Centurion who was standing facing him saw that he expired in this way, he exclaimed, "Truly this man was a son of God!"

riversident@Mark:15:40 @ There were also some women looking on from a distance. Among them were Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James the Little and Joses, and Salome,

riversident@Mark:15:42 @ It was now late in the afternoon and, since it was Preparation Day, that is the day before the Sabbath,

riversident@Mark:15:43 @ Joseph of Arimathaea, a councilor of high standing, who himself was looking for the kingdom of God, took courage to go in to Pilate and ask for the body of Jesus.

riversident@Mark:15:44 @ Pilate wondered whether he was already dead, but he called in the Centurion and asked him whether Jesus had been long dead.

riversident@Mark:15:45 @ Upon learning this from the Centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.

riversident@Mark:15:46 @ Joseph bought a linen sheet and took him down and swathed him in it and laid him in a tomb which had been hewn out in the rock. He then rolled a stone against the door of the tomb.

riversident@Mark:15:47 @ Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses were looking on to see where Jesus was laid.

riversident@Mark:16:1 @ WHEN the Sabbath had passed, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought perfumes to go and anoint him.

riversident@Mark:16:2 @...came to the tomb. The sun...

riversident@Mark:16:3 @ They were saying to one another, "Who will roll away the stone from the door of the tomb for us?"

riversident@Mark:16:4 @ But when they looked they saw that the stone had been rolled away. It was very large.

riversident@Mark:16:5 @ Entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side dressed in a white robe, and they were frightened.

riversident@Mark:16:6 @ But he said to them, "Do not be frightened. You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene who was crucified. He has risen. He is not here. This is the place where they laid him.

riversident@Mark:16:8 @...and amazement seized them. They told...

riversident@Mark:16:9 @ After Jesus rose early on the morning of the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom he had cast out seven demons.

riversident@Mark:16:12 @ After this he appeared in another form to two of them as they were walking into the country.

riversident@Mark:16:13 @ They went and told the rest. But neither did they believe these men.

riversident@Mark:16:14 @ Later he appeared to the eleven as they were reclining at table, and reproached them for their lack of faith and dullness of mind because they had not believed those who had seen him since his resurrection.

riversident@Mark:16:19 @ Then the Lord Jesus, after talking with them, was taken up into heaven and sat down on the right hand of God.

riversident@Mark:16:20 @ They went forth and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming their message by the signs which accompanied it.

riversident@Luke:1:2 @ just as those who from the beginning were eye-witnesses and who became bearers of the message handed them down to us;

riversident@Luke:1:4 @ so that you may know the exact truth in regard to the matters which you have been taught by word of mouth.

riversident@Luke:1:5 @ There was in the days of Herod, King of Judaea, a certain priest by the name of Zacharias, of the course of Abijah. His wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.

riversident@Luke:1:6 @ They were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and regulations of the Lord blameless.

riversident@Luke:1:8 @ It happened that as Zacharias was performing his priestly duties before God in the order of his course,

riversident@Luke:1:9 @ according to the custom of the priesthood, it fell to him to enter the Temple of the Lord and offer the incense.

riversident@Luke:1:10 @ All the congregation of people was in prayer outside, at the hour of incense.

riversident@Luke:1:11 @ There appeared to him an angel of the Lord, standing at the right side of the altar of incense.

riversident@Luke:1:13 @ But the angel said to him, "Do not fear, Zacharias, for your prayer has been heard; and your wife Elizabeth will bear a son, and you will call his name John.

riversident@Luke:1:15 @ For he will be great before the Lord. He will not drink wine or strong drink. He will be full of the Holy Spirit even from his birth,

riversident@Luke:1:16 @ and many of the sons of Israel will he turn to the Lord their God.

riversident@Luke:1:17 @ He will go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of fathers to their children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous, to make ready for the Lord a people prepared for him."

riversident@Luke:1:18 @ Zacharias said to the angel, "By what proof shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is advanced in years."

riversident@Luke:1:19 @ The angel answered, "I am Gabriel, who stands before the face of God, and I have been sent to speak to you and to give you this good news.

riversident@Luke:1:20 @ And now you will be silent and unable to speak until the day that this comes to pass, because you have not believed my words, which will be fulfilled in their time."

riversident@Luke:1:21 @ The people were waiting for Zacharias and wondering at his staying so long in the Temple.

riversident@Luke:1:22 @ But when he came out, he could not speak to them, and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the Temple. He kept making signs to them and remained dumb.

riversident@Luke:1:23 @ When the days of his priestly service were finished, he went away to his home.

riversident@Luke:1:25 @ "So has the Lord done for me in the days in which he has looked upon me to take away my reproach among men."

riversident@Luke:1:33 @ He will be king over the house of Jacob through the ages, and of his kingdom there will be no end."

riversident@Luke:1:34 @ But Mary said to the angel, "How can this be, since I am not united to a man?"

riversident@Luke:1:35 @ The angel replied, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of the Highest will overshadow you. For that reason the child that is begotten will be called holy, Son of God.

riversident@Luke:7:2 @ The servant of a certain Centurion was sick and about to die. He was highly valued by his master,

riversident@Luke:7:3 @ who hearing about Jesus sent to him some elders of the Jews, asking him to come and save his servant.

riversident@Luke:7:7 @ On that account I did not think myself worthy to come to you. But say the word and have my servant cured.

riversident@Luke:7:9 @ When Jesus heard this, he wondered, and, turning to the crowd that was following him, he said,

riversident@Luke:7:10 @ Those who had been sent returned to the house and found the servant well.

riversident@Luke:7:12 @ As he approached the gate of the city, they were carrying out a dead man, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. A great crowd from the city was with her.

riversident@Luke:7:13 @ When the Master saw her, he had compassion on her and said to her,

riversident@Luke:7:37 @ Now there was a certain woman in the city, a sinner, and when she learned that he was at table in the Pharisee's house, she brought an alabaster jar of ointment

riversident@Luke:7:38 @ and took her place behind, beside his feet, weeping. Her tears began to rain down on his feet, and with the hair of her head she wiped them off, and she passionately kissed his feet and anointed them with the ointment.

riversident@Luke:7:39 @ When the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he said within himself, "This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what this woman who is touching him is, for she is a sinner."

riversident@Luke:7:43 @ Simon answered, "I suppose the one to whom he forgave most." He said to him,

riversident@Luke:7:44 @ Then, turning to the woman, he said to Simon,

riversident@Luke:8:29 @ For he had commanded the impure spirit to come out of the man. Many times it had seized him, and, though he was bound with chains and fetters and kept under guard, yet bursting his chains he would be driven by the demon off into the wilds.

riversident@Luke:11:15 @ But some of them said, "By Beelzebul, the chief of the demons, he casts out the demons."

riversident@Luke:11:27 @ While he was saying this a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said, "Blessed was the womb that carried you and the breasts that you sucked!"

riversident@Luke:11:29 @ As the crowds were thronging about him, he began and said,

riversident@Luke:11:38 @ The Pharisee, seeing this, wondered that he had not first washed before dinner.

riversident@Luke:11:39 @ The Master said to him,

riversident@Luke:11:45 @ One of the lawyers answered him, "Teacher, in saying this you treat us roughly too."

riversident@Luke:11:53 @ After he went away from there, the scribes and the Pharisees began to press upon him angrily and cross-question him on many points,

riversident@Luke:12:1 @ MEANWHILE, as the myriads of the crowd were thronging together so that they trod down one another, he began and said to his disciples first,

riversident@Luke:12:13 @ One out of the crowd said to him, "Teacher, bid my brother to divide the inheritance with me."

riversident@Luke:12:42 @ The Master said,

riversident@Luke:12:54 @ He said also to the crowds,

riversident@Luke:13:1 @ AT that time some were present telling him about the Galilaeans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.

riversident@Luke:13:10 @ He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath.

riversident@Luke:13:14 @ But the synagogue Director, angry because Jesus was healing on the Sabbath, said to the crowd, "There are six days in which work should be done. On those days come and be healed, but not on the Sabbath day."

riversident@Luke:13:15 @ The Master answered him,

riversident@Luke:13:17 @ As he said this, all his opposers were ashamed, and all the crowd rejoiced at all the glorious things that he did.

riversident@Luke:13:22 @ He was journeying through the cities and villages teaching and making his way toward Jerusalem.

riversident@Luke:14:1 @ ONCE, when he went into the house of one of the leaders of the Pharisees on the Sabbath to eat bread, they were watching him closely.

riversident@Luke:14:3 @ Jesus said to the lawyers and Pharisees,

riversident@Luke:14:7 @ Observing how the guests were choosing the best couches, he gave them an illustration:

riversident@Luke:14:12 @ He said, too, to the man who had invited him,

riversident@Luke:14:15 @ On hearing this, one of his fellow guests said to him, "Blessed will he be who eats bread in the kingdom of God!"

riversident@Luke:15:1 @ ALL the tax collectors and sinners were drawing near to him in order to hear him.

riversident@Luke:15:2 @ The Pharisees and the scribes grumbled to one another, "This man welcomes sinners and eats with them."

riversident@Luke:16:14 @ The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, were listening to all this and they were sneering at him.

riversident@Luke:17:5 @ The apostles said to the Master, "Increase our faith."

riversident@Luke:17:6 @ The Master said,

riversident@Luke:17:16 @ and he fell on his face at the feet of Jesus, thanking him. He was a Samaritan.

riversident@Luke:17:20 @ On being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God was coming, Jesus answered them,

riversident@Luke:17:22 @ He said to the disciples,

riversident@Luke:18:6 @ The Master said,

riversident@Luke:18:15 @...for him to touch. The disciples...

riversident@Luke:18:16 @ But Jesus called the children to him, saying,

riversident@Luke:18:18 @ One of the rulers asked him, "Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit life eternal?"

riversident@Luke:18:31 @ Taking the twelve aside, he said to them,

riversident@Luke:18:34 @...was hidden from them. They did...

riversident@Luke:18:35 @ As he approached Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the roadside begging.

riversident@Luke:18:37 @ They told him, "Jesus, the Nazarene, is passing by."

riversident@Luke:18:40 @ Jesus stopped and ordered the man to be led to him. When he had come up, Jesus asked him,

riversident@Luke:18:43 @ Immediately he received sight and followed him, giving glory to God. All the people upon seeing this gave praise to God.

riversident@Luke:19:2 @ In the city there was a man called Zacchaeus, who was chief of the tax collectors and was rich.

riversident@Luke:19:3 @ He was trying to see Jesus \'97 what he was like; but he could not on account of the crowd, for he was short in stature.

riversident@Luke:19:5 @ When Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him,

riversident@Luke:19:8 @ Zacchaeus stood and said to the Master, "See, the half of my property, Sir, I give to the poor, and if I have unjustly taken anything from any one, I will give him back four-fold."

riversident@Luke:19:11 @ While they were listening to this, he added an illustration, because he was near to Jerusalem and they were thinking that the kingdom of heaven was going to appear immediately.

riversident@Luke:19:29 @ When they approached Bethphage and Bethany at the mount called the Olive Orchard, he sent two of his disciples,

riversident@Luke:19:33 @ While they were loosing the colt, its owners said to them, "Why are you loosing the colt?"

riversident@Luke:19:35 @ They led it to Jesus and threw their cloaks on the colt and mounted Jesus on it.

riversident@Luke:19:36 @ As he advanced, some spread their cloaks in the road,

riversident@Luke:19:37 @ and as he approached the descent of the Mount of Olives all the multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God in a loud voice for all the miracles they had seen,

riversident@Luke:19:38 @ saying: "Blessed be he who comes as king, in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the heights above!"

riversident@Luke:19:39 @ Some of the Pharisees from the crowd said to him, "Teacher, rebuke your disciples."

riversident@Luke:19:41 @ As he drew near and looked at the city, he wept over it,

riversident@Luke:19:45 @ Entering into the Temple courts he began and drove out the dealers,

riversident@Luke:19:47 @ He was teaching every day in the Temple courts. But the high priests and the scribes were bent on destroying him, and so were the first citizens.

riversident@Luke:19:48 @ But they could find no way to do it; for all the people hung upon him listening.

riversident@Luke:20:1 @ ON one of those days, as he was teaching the people in the Temple courts and proclaiming the good news, the high priests and the scribes came up with the elders

riversident@Luke:20:6 @ and if we say, 'From men,' all the people will stone us; for they are persuaded that John was a prophet."

riversident@Luke:20:9 @ He began and gave the people this illustration:

riversident@Luke:20:19 @ The scribes and the high priests were eager to lay hands on him at that very time, for they knew that he had aimed the illustration at them; but they were afraid of the people.

riversident@Luke:20:20 @ So watching insidiously for an opportunity they sent spies, who pretended to be honest men, to seize upon anything he might say, so as to hand him over to the authorities and to the power of the Governor.

riversident@Luke:20:21 @ They asked him, "Teacher, we know that you speak and teach correctly and that you do not regard personal influences, but you teach the way of God according to truth.

riversident@Luke:20:26 @ They could not seize upon his words before the people, and in astonishment at his answer they were silent.

riversident@Luke:20:27 @ There came to him some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is any resurrection, and asked him,

riversident@Luke:20:29 @...there were seven brothers. The first...

riversident@Luke:20:30 @ The second

riversident@Luke:20:31 @ and the third and the rest of the seven took her and died leaving no children.

riversident@Luke:20:32 @ Finally the woman also died.

riversident@Luke:20:33 @ Now this woman \'97 whose wife will she be at the resurrection? For she was wife to the seven."

riversident@Luke:20:39 @ Some of the scribes answered him, "Teacher, you have spoken well."

riversident@Luke:20:45 @ While all the people were listening, he said to the disciples,

riversident@Luke:21:1 @ Looking up, he saw those who were dropping their gifts into the contribution box, the rich people.

riversident@Luke:21:5 @ As some were speaking about the Temple buildings, how they were decorated with beautiful stones and votive gifts,

riversident@Luke:21:7 @ They asked him, "Teacher, when will these things be? And what will be the sign when they are about to happen?"

riversident@Luke:21:37 @ During the days he continued to teach in the Temple courts, but every night he went out and stayed on the mount called Olive Orchard.

riversident@Luke:21:38 @ All the people came early every morning to him in the Temple courts to listen to him.

riversident@Luke:22:1 @ THE Feast of Unleavened Bread, which is called the Passover, was approaching.

riversident@Luke:22:2 @ The high priests and the scribes were intent upon finding some way to destroy Jesus; for they were afraid of the people.

riversident@Luke:22:3 @ But Satan entered into Judas, called Iscariot, who was of the number of the twelve,

riversident@Luke:22:4 @ and he went away and talked over with the high priests and officers how he could betray him.

riversident@Luke:22:6 @ He promised, and was on the lookout for an opportunity to betray him to them when the crowd was not with him.

riversident@Luke:22:7 @ The day of unleavened bread came, when the Passover lamb must be sacrificed,

riversident@Luke:22:13 @ They went away and found everything just as he had said, and they prepared the Passover.

riversident@Luke:22:14 @ When the hour came, he reclined at table and the apostles with him.

riversident@Luke:22:20 @ He took the cup in the same manner after supper, saying,

riversident@Luke:22:39 @ He went out and made his way, according to his custom, to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed him.

riversident@Luke:22:40 @ When he came to the place, he said to them,

riversident@Luke:22:44 @ Being in agony, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat became like great drops of blood failing upon the ground.

riversident@Luke:22:45 @ Then he rose from prayer and came to the disciples and found them sleeping from sorrow.

riversident@Luke:22:47 @ While he was still speaking there came a crowd, and he who was called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He came up to Jesus to kiss him.

riversident@Luke:22:49 @ Those about Jesus, seeing what was going to happen, said, "Master, shall we strike with the sword?"

riversident@Luke:22:50 @ One of them did strike the High Priest's servant and cut off his right ear.

riversident@Luke:22:52 @ Jesus said to the high priests and officers of the Temple and elders who had come out against him,

riversident@Luke:22:54 @ After arresting him they led him away and brought him into the house of the High Priest. Peter followed at a distance.

riversident@Luke:22:55 @ They lighted a fire in the center of the court and seated themselves around it, and Peter seated himself in the midst of them.

riversident@Luke:22:56 @ A maid saw him sitting near the light, and, looking hard at him, said, "This man was with him too."

riversident@Luke:22:60 @ But Peter said, "Man, I do not know what you are talking about." Immediately while he was speaking the cock crew,

riversident@Luke:22:61 @ and the Master turned and looked at Peter, and Peter remembered the word of the Master, how he had said to him,

riversident@Luke:22:63 @ The men who had arrested Jesus made sport of him, beating him,

riversident@Luke:22:66 @ When daylight came, the eldership of the people assembled, both high priests and scribes, and they led him to their council, saying,

riversident@Luke:22:67 @ "If you are the Christ, tell us." He said to them,

riversident@Luke:22:70 @ They all said, "You then are the Son of God?" He said to them,

riversident@Luke:23:1 @ THEN the whole assemblage arose and led him to Pilate.

riversident@Luke:23:2 @ They began accusing him, saying, "We have found this man corrupting our nation and opposing the payment of tribute to Caesar and saying that he himself is Christ a king."

riversident@Luke:23:3 @ Pilate asked him, "Are you the king of the Jews?" Jesus answered him,

riversident@Luke:23:4 @ Pilate said to the high priests and the crowd, "I find nothing criminal in this man."

riversident@Luke:23:5 @ But they were violent in saying, "He stirs up the people, teaching through the whole of Judaea. Starting in Galilee, he is now here."

riversident@Luke:23:6 @ Pilate, on hearing of Galilee, asked if the man was a Galilaean,

riversident@Luke:23:10 @ The high priests and the scribes stood and vehemently accused him.

riversident@Luke:23:13 @ Pilate called together the high priests and the rulers and the people

riversident@Luke:23:14 @ and said to them, "You have brought before me this man as one who misguides the people, and yet I, in examining him before you, have found in this man not one criminal thing of all that you charge against him.

riversident@Luke:23:18 @ But the whole crowd cried out together, "Put him out of the way and free Barabbas for us!"

riversident@Luke:23:22 @ For the third time he said to them, "What wrong has he done? I have found nothing criminal in him. I will therefore scourge him and let him go."

riversident@Luke:23:25 @ He freed the man who for riot and murder had been thrown into prison \'97 the man they asked for; but Jesus he handed over to their will.

riversident@Luke:23:26 @ As they led him away, they took hold of Simon, a Cyrenian coming from the country, and laid on him the cross to bear behind Jesus.

riversident@Luke:23:33 @ When they came to the place called Skull, there they crucified him and the criminals, one on his right and one on his left.

riversident@Luke:23:35 @...people stood looking on. The rulers...

riversident@Luke:23:36 @ The soldiers made sport of him, coming up and offering him sour wine

riversident@Luke:23:37 @ and saying, "If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!"

riversident@Luke:23:39 @ One of the criminals who were crucified insulted him, "Are you not the Christ? Save yourself and us."

riversident@Luke:23:40 @ But the other rebuked him and said, "Have you no fear of God, since you are under the same sentence?

riversident@Luke:23:44 @ It was now about noon, and darkness came over all the land until three,

riversident@Luke:23:45 @ the sun being eclipsed. And the curtain in the Temple was torn in the middle.

riversident@Luke:23:47 @ When the Centurion saw what had happened, he gave glory to God, saying, "Certainly this was an upright man!"

riversident@Luke:23:48 @ And all the crowds that had stood by looking on the scene, after seeing what happened, turned away beating their breasts.

riversident@Luke:23:49 @ All his acquaintances and the women who had followed him from Galilee were standing at a distance looking on.

riversident@Luke:23:50 @ There was a man named Joseph, a member of the Council, a good and upright man

riversident@Luke:23:51 @ who had not participated in their plan and action. He was of Arimathaea, a city of the Judaeans, and was looking for the kingdom of God.

riversident@Luke:23:52 @ This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.

riversident@Luke:23:53 @ He took it down and wrapped it in fine linen and laid him in a tomb cut in the rock where no one was yet lying.

riversident@Luke:23:54 @ It was the day of Preparation and the Sabbath was about to begin.

riversident@Luke:23:55 @ The women who had come with Jesus from Galilee followed along and saw the tomb and how his body was laid,

riversident@Luke:23:56 @ and they went back and prepared perfumes and ointments. On the Sabbath they abstained from work according to the commandment.

riversident@Luke:24:1 @ BUT on the first day of the week at early dawn they came to the tomb, bringing the perfumes which they had prepared.

riversident@Luke:24:2 @ They found the stone rolled away from the tomb,

riversident@Luke:24:3 @ and on entering they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.

riversident@Luke:24:5 @ They were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, "Why are you looking for the living among the dead?

riversident@Luke:24:7 @ that the Son of Man must be betrayed into the hands of sinful men and be crucified and rise on the third day."

riversident@Luke:24:9 @ and turned back from the tomb and told all this to the eleven and all the rest.

riversident@Luke:24:10 @...the mother of James. The other...

riversident@Luke:24:11 @...eyes like idle talk. They did...

riversident@Luke:24:12 @ But Peter rose and ran to the tomb and stooping down he saw nothing but the linen cloths, and he went away to his place wondering at what had happened.

riversident@Luke:24:18 @ One of them, named Cleopas, said to him, "Are you a stranger living alone in Jerusalem and do you not know the things that have happened there in recent days?"

riversident@Luke:24:19 @...said to them, They said...\'97

riversident@Luke:24:21 @ But we were hoping that he was the one who was to redeem Israel. But now, however, the third day is passing since these things took place.

riversident@Luke:24:22 @...our company amazed us. They went...

riversident@Luke:24:24 @ Some of our company went out to the tomb and found things as the women had said, but they did not see him."

riversident@Luke:24:27 @ Then, beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things about himself.

riversident@Luke:24:28 @ They drew near to the village where they were going and he acted as if he were going on.

riversident@Luke:24:29 @ But they urged him, saying, "Stay with us, for it is toward evening and the sun is already low." So he went in to stay with them.

riversident@Luke:24:30 @ As he reclined at table with them, he took the bread and blessed it and broke it and gave it to them.

riversident@Luke:24:32 @ They said to each other, "Were not our hearts burning within us when he was talking to us on the road and was explaining the Scriptures to us?"

riversident@Luke:24:33 @ Then, rising that very hour, they returned to Jerusalem and found the eleven and their associates assembled

riversident@Luke:24:34 @ and saying, "Really the Lord has risen and he has appeared to Simon."

riversident@Luke:24:35 @ They then narrated what had happened on the road and how they knew him by his breaking the bread.

riversident@Luke:24:36 @ While they were talking of these things, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them and said to them,

riversident@Luke:24:45 @ Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures,

riversident@Luke:24:53 @ and were constantly in the Temple courts blessing God.

riversident@John:1:1 @ IN the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

riversident@John:1:2 @ He was in the beginning with God.

riversident@John:1:4 @ In him was Life, and the Life was the Light of men.

riversident@John:1:5 @ And the Light shone in the darkness, but the darkness did not understand it.

riversident@John:1:7 @ He came for testimony, to testify about the Light, that all might believe through him.

riversident@John:1:8 @ He was not the Light, but he came to testify about the Light.

riversident@John:1:9 @ The true Light, which enlightens every man, was coming into the world.

riversident@John:1:10 @ He was in the world, and the world had come into being through him, yet the world did not know him.

riversident@John:1:13 @ who were born not of blood nor of the will of flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.

riversident@John:1:14 @ The Word became flesh and tented among us, and we looked upon his glory, glory as of an only son from a father, full of grace and truth.

riversident@John:1:17 @ For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

riversident@John:1:18 @ No one has ever seen God; God the only Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he has interpreted him.

riversident@John:1:19 @ This is the testimony of John when the Jews of Jerusalem sent to him priests and Levites to ask him, "Who are you?"

riversident@John:1:20 @ He confessed and did not deny, but confessed, "I am not the Christ."

riversident@John:1:21 @ They asked him, "What then? Are you Elijah?" He said, "I am not." "Are you the prophet?" He answered, "No."

riversident@John:1:23 @ He said, "I am 'the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord,' as Isaiah the prophet said."

riversident@John:1:24 @ The men had been sent from the Pharisees.

riversident@John:1:25 @ They asked him, "Why then do you baptize, if you are not the Christ nor Elijah nor the prophet?"

riversident@John:1:26 @ John answered them, "I baptize with water. In the midst of you stands one whom you do not know \'97

riversident@John:1:27 @ the One who is coming after me \'97 for whom I am not worthy to loosen the strap of his sandal."

riversident@John:1:28 @ This happened in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.

riversident@John:1:29 @ The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!

riversident@John:1:32 @ John bore witness, "I saw the Spirit descending like a dove from heaven and it remained on him.

riversident@John:1:33 @ I did not know him, but he who sent me to baptize with water \'97 he said to me, 'He on whom you see the Spirit descending and remaining, that is he who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.'

riversident@John:1:34 @ And I saw it and have borne witness that this is the Son of God."

riversident@John:1:35 @ Again on the next day John was standing with two of his disciples,

riversident@John:1:36 @ and, looking at Jesus as he walked, he said, "Behold, the Lamb of God!"

riversident@John:1:37 @ The two disciples heard him say this and they followed Jesus.

riversident@John:1:39 @ He said to them, So they came and saw where he was staying, and stayed with him that day. It was then about four in the afternoon.

riversident@John:1:40 @ Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two that heard about Jesus from John and followed him.

riversident@John:1:41 @ He found first his own brother Simon and said to him, "We have found the Messiah (note:)which means, when translated, the Christ(:note)!"

riversident@John:1:43 @ On the next day Jesus decided to go away to Galilee, and he found Philip and said to him,

riversident@John:1:44 @ Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.

riversident@John:1:45 @ Philip found Nathanael and said to him, "We have found him of whom Moses wrote in the Law and of whom the prophets wrote \'97 Jesus the son of Joseph, from Nazareth."

riversident@John:1:49 @ Nathanael answered him, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the King of Israel!"

riversident@John:2:1 @ ON the third day a wedding took place in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.

riversident@John:2:2 @ Jesus also was invited, with his disciples, to the wedding.

riversident@John:2:3 @ When the wine ran short, Jesus' mother said to him, "They have no wine."

riversident@John:2:5 @ His mother said to the servants, "Whatever he tells you, do it."

riversident@John:2:6 @ There were standing there six stone water jars in accordance with the Jewish custom of purification, holding about twenty or thirty gallons apiece.

riversident@John:2:7 @...said to them, They filled...

riversident@John:2:9 @ and when the Master of the feast tasted the water that had become wine, not knowing where it came from \'97 though the servants who had dipped out the water knew \'97 he called to the bridegroom

riversident@John:2:10 @ and said to him, "Every man sets on first the fine wine, and when they have drunk freely he sets on the poorer. You have kept the fine wine till now."

riversident@John:2:13 @ The Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

riversident@John:2:14 @ Finding in the Temple courts the sellers of cattle and sheep and doves and the money-changers sitting there,

riversident@John:2:15 @ he made a whip of cords and drove them all from the courts \'97 all the sheep and the cattle, \'97 and he poured out the small coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables.

riversident@John:2:18 @ The Jews said to him, "What sign do you show us, since you act in this way?"

riversident@John:2:20 @ The Jews said, "It took forty-six years to build this Temple, and will you raise it in three days?"

riversident@John:2:21 @ But he was speaking of the temple of his body.

riversident@John:2:22 @ So when he arose from the dead his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they believed the Scripture and the word that Jesus had spoken.

riversident@John:2:23 @ When he was in Jerusalem at the Feast of the Passover, many believed in his name, seeing his signs that he did,

riversident@John:3:1 @ THERE was a man of the Pharisees, Nicodemus by name, a ruler of the Jews.

riversident@John:3:22 @ After this Jesus and his disciples came into the land of Judaea and there he spent some time with them and baptized.

riversident@John:3:25 @ There arose a dispute between the disciples of John and a Jew about purification.

riversident@John:3:26 @ They came to John and said to him, "Rabbi, the man who was with you across the Jordan to whom you bore testimony \'97 see, he is baptizing and all are coming to him."

riversident@John:3:28 @ You yourselves are witnesses that I said, 'I am not the Christ, but I have been sent before him.'

riversident@John:3:29 @ He who has the bride is the bridegroom. But the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly at the bridegroom's voice. So this joy of mine is complete.

riversident@John:3:31 @ He who comes from above is above all. He who is of the earth is of the earth and he speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all.

riversident@John:3:34 @ He whom God has sent speaks the word of God, for he does not give him the Spirit by measure.

riversident@John:3:35 @ The Father loves the Son and has placed all things in his hand.

riversident@John:3:36 @ He who believes in the Son has life eternal. He who disbelieves in the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides upon him.

riversident@John:4:1 @ WHEN the Master knew that the Pharisees had heard that he was making and baptizing more disciples than John \'97

riversident@John:4:5 @ He came to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near the piece of land that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

riversident@John:4:6 @ Jacob's well was there. Jesus, weary from his journey, sat just as he was on the well. It was about noon.

riversident@John:4:8 @ For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.

riversident@John:4:9 @ The Samaritan woman said to him, "How do you, a Jew, ask a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?" For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.

riversident@John:4:11 @ She said to him, "Sir, you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where do you get the living water from?

riversident@John:4:12 @ Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank of it, himself and his sons and his flocks?"

riversident@John:4:15 @ The woman said to him, "Give me this water, so that I may not thirst nor come all the way here to draw."

riversident@John:4:17 @ The woman answered, "I have no husband." Jesus said to her,

riversident@John:4:19 @ The woman said to him, "Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.

riversident@John:4:20 @ Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you say that in Jerusalem is the proper place to worship."

riversident@John:4:25 @ The woman said to him, "I know that Messiah is coming, who is called Christ. When he comes he will tell us all things."

riversident@John:4:28 @ The woman left her pitcher and went away into the city and said to the people,

riversident@John:4:29 @ "Come, see a man who has told me all that I ever did. Is not this the Christ?"

riversident@John:4:30 @ They came out of the city and were on the way to him.

riversident@John:4:31 @ In the meantime his disciples begged him, "Rabbi, eat something."

riversident@John:4:33 @ The disciples said to one another, "Can it be that any one has brought him something to eat?"

riversident@John:4:39 @ From that city many of the Samaritans believed in him on account of the woman's testimony, "He told me all that I ever did."

riversident@John:4:40 @ When the Samaritans came out to him, they begged him to stay with them, and he stayed there two days.

riversident@John:4:42 @ and they said to the woman, "We no longer believe because of what you said, for we ourselves have heard him and we know that this is truly the Savior of the World."

riversident@John:4:43 @ After the two days he went from there into Galilee.

riversident@John:4:45 @ So when he came into Galilee, the Galilaeans welcomed him because they had seen what he did in Jerusalem at the feast. For they, too, had gone to the feast.

riversident@John:4:46 @ He came again to Cana in Galilee where he had made the water wine. A certain royal officer was there whose son was sick in Capernaum.

riversident@John:4:47 @ This man heard that Jesus had come from Judaea to Galilee, and he came to him and begged him to come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death,

riversident@John:4:49 @ The officer said to him, "Sir, come down before my child dies."

riversident@John:4:50 @...said to him, The man...

riversident@John:4:51 @ Even while he was going down, his servants met him with the word that his son was living.

riversident@John:4:52 @...when he was better. They said...

riversident@John:4:53 @ So the father knew that it was at that hour at which Jesus had said to him, and he believed, himself and his whole household.

riversident@John:4:54 @ This is the second time that Jesus did a sign just after coming from Judaea to Galilee.

riversident@John:5:1 @ AFTER this there was a feast of the Jews and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

riversident@John:5:2 @ There is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool which is called in Hebrew Bethesda. Around it are five colonnades.

riversident@John:5:7 @ The sick man answered him, "I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is troubled. While I am coming, some other man gets down before me."

riversident@John:5:9 @ At once the man became well and took up his pallet and began walking. That day was the Sabbath.

riversident@John:5:10 @ The Jews said to the man who had been cured, "It is the Sabbath, and it is not proper for you to carry your pallet."

riversident@John:5:12 @ They asked him, "Who is the man that told you,

riversident@John:5:13 @ The cured man did not know who it was. For Jesus had taken himself away, a crowd being in that place.

riversident@John:5:14 @ Afterwards Jesus found him in the Temple court and said to him,

riversident@John:5:15 @ The man went away and told the Jews that Jesus was the man who had made him well.

riversident@John:5:16 @ On this account the Jews persecuted Jesus because he did such things on the Sabbath.

riversident@John:5:18 @ On this account the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only kept breaking the Sabbath, but even spoke of God as his own Father, making himself equal with God.

riversident@John:6:1 @ AFTER this Jesus went away beyond the Lake of Galilee (note:)the Lake of Tiberias(:note).

riversident@John:6:2 @ A great crowd was following him because they saw the signs that he was doing upon those who had infirmities.

riversident@John:6:3 @ Jesus had gone up on the mountain and there he was sitting with his disciples.

riversident@John:6:4 @ It was near the time for the Passover, the feast of the Jews.

riversident@John:6:10 ...Jesus said, There was...

riversident@John:6:11 @ Jesus took the loaves and gave thanks and divided them to those who were reclining, and in the same way the fishes, as much as they wanted.

riversident@John:6:13 @ They gathered them and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which were left over by those who had eaten.

riversident@John:6:14 @ Then the people, seeing the sign that he had done, said, "This is truly the prophet who was to come into the world!"

riversident@John:6:15 @ Jesus, perceiving that they were about to come and take him by force to make him king, withdrew again up the mountain by himself alone.

riversident@John:6:16 @ When evening came, his disciples went down to the lake

riversident@John:6:18 @ The lake was getting rough, as a strong wind was blowing.

riversident@John:6:19 @ When they had rowed three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the lake and getting near the boat, and they were frightened.

riversident@John:6:21 @ Then they were willing to take him into the boat, and at once the boat came to the land they were making for.

riversident@John:6:22 @ On the next day the crowd that was standing on the other side of the lake saw that there had been no boat there but the one, and that Jesus had not got into the boat with his disciples, but that his disciples had gone away by themselves

riversident@John:6:24 @ when the crowd saw that Jesus was not there nor his disciples either, they got into those boats and came to Capernaum looking for Jesus.

riversident@John:6:25 @ When they found him across the lake, they said to him, "Rabbi, when did you get here?"

riversident@John:6:28 @ They said to him, "What are we to do to work the works of God?"

riversident@John:6:31 @ Our fathers ate the manna in the desert as it is written, 'He gave them bread from heaven to eat.' "

riversident@John:6:41 @ The Jews were muttering to each other about him because he said,

riversident@John:6:42 @ and they were saying, "Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does he say now,

riversident@John:6:52 @ The Jews disputed angrily with one another, saying, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?"

riversident@John:6:64 @ For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that did not believe, and who it was that would betray him.

riversident@John:6:66 @ After that many of the disciples drew back from him and no longer went about with him.

riversident@John:6:67 @ Jesus said to the twelve,

riversident@John:6:68 @ Simon Peter answered him, "Sir, to whom shall we go? You have the words of life eternal,

riversident@John:6:69 @ and we are persuaded and know that you are the Holy One of God."

riversident@John:6:71 @ He was speaking of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. For he was going to betray him, though he was one of the twelve.

riversident@John:7:1 @ AFTER this Jesus went about in Galilee; for he would not go about in Judaea because the Jews were trying to kill him.

riversident@John:7:2 @ The Jewish Feast of Tabernacles was near.

riversident@John:7:3 @ His brothers said to him, "Leave this region and go into Judaea so that your disciples may see the works that you are doing.

riversident@John:7:4 @ For no one does anything in secret while desiring to be known publicly. If you are doing these things, show yourself to the world."

riversident@John:7:10 @ After his brothers had gone up to the feast, Jesus himself went up, not openly, but somewhat privately.

riversident@John:7:11 @ The Jews were looking for him at the feast and were saying, "Where is that man?"

riversident@John:7:12 @ A low murmur of debate about him ran through the crowds. Some were saying, "He is good." Others were saying, "No, he misleads the crowd."

riversident@John:7:13 @ Nobody, however, was talking openly about him for fear of the Jews.

riversident@John:7:14 @ About the middle of the feast Jesus went up into the Temple courts and began teaching.

riversident@John:7:15 @ The Jews were astonished and said, "How does this man know books when he has never been educated?"

riversident@John:7:20 @ The crowd answered, "You have a demon. Who is trying to kill you?"

riversident@John:7:25 @ Some of the Jerusalem people were saying, "Is not this the man they are trying to kill?

riversident@John:7:26 @ See, he is talking freely and they say nothing to him. It cannot be that the rulers know for truth that this is the Christ?

riversident@John:7:27 @...this man comes from. The Christ,...\'97 no one will know where he comes from."

riversident@John:7:28 @ Jesus, while teaching in the Temple courts, cried out loudly,

riversident@John:7:31 @ From the crowd many believed in him and said, "The Christ, when he comes, will not do more signs than this man does, will he?"

riversident@John:7:32 @ The Pharisees heard the murmur of debate about him in the crowd, and the high priests and the Pharisees sent officers to arrest him.

riversident@John:7:35 @ The Jews said to one another, "Where is this man going that we shall not find him? Will he go to the Jews who are scattered among the Greeks and teach the Greeks?

riversident@John:7:37 @ On the last day, the great day, of the feast Jesus stood and cried out,

riversident@John:7:39 @ This he said referring to the Spirit which those who had believed in him were soon to receive. For as yet there was no Spirit, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.

riversident@John:7:40 @ Some from the crowd, on hearing these words, said, "This man is truly the prophet."

riversident@John:7:41 @ Others said, "This is the Christ." Others said, "The Christ is not coming out of Galilee, is he?

riversident@John:7:42 @ Does not the Scripture say that the Christ comes of the descendants of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?"

riversident@John:7:43 @ A division arose in the crowd over him.

riversident@John:7:45 @ The officers came to the high priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, "Why did you not bring him?"

riversident@John:7:46 @ The officers answered, "Never any man spoke as this man speaks."

riversident@John:7:47 @ The Pharisees answered them, "Have you also been deluded?

riversident@John:7:48 @ Can it be that any one of the rulers or Pharisees has believed in him?

riversident@John:7:49 @ But this crowd who do not know the Law are cursed."

riversident@John:8:1 @ but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.

riversident@John:8:2 @ EARLY in the morning he came again to the Temple courts and all the people came to him and he sat down and taught them.

riversident@John:8:3 @ The scribes and the Pharisees led in a woman taken in adultery and making her stand in the midst,

riversident@John:8:4 @ they said to him, "Teacher, this woman was taken in the very act of adultery.

riversident@John:8:5 @ In the Law Moses commanded to stone such. What do you say?"

riversident@John:8:6 @ This they said, testing him, to have something to accuse him of. But Jesus stooped over and wrote with his finger on the ground.

riversident@John:8:8 @ and again he stooped over and went on writing on the ground.

riversident@John:8:9 @ After hearing that, they passed out one by one, beginning with the older men, and he was left alone and the woman there in the center.

riversident@John:8:13 @ The Pharisees said to him, "You are bearing witness to yourself; your witness is not true."

riversident@John:8:20 @ These words he spoke in the Treasury, while teaching in the Temple courts, and no one arrested him because his hour had not yet come.

riversident@John:8:22 @ The Jews said, "Will he kill himself, and so says,

riversident@John:8:27 @ They did not perceive that he was speaking to them of the Father.

riversident@John:8:31 @ Jesus said to the Jews that had believed him,

riversident@John:8:48 @ The Jews answered him, "Do we not say correctly that you are a Samaritan and have a demon?"

riversident@John:8:52 @ The Jews said to him, "Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died and the prophets died, and you say,

riversident@John:8:53 @ Are you greater than our father Abraham? And yet he died and the prophets died. Whom do you make yourself out to be?"

riversident@John:8:57 @ The Jews said to him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?

riversident@John:8:59 @ They took up stones to throw at him; but Jesus concealed himself and left the Temple courts.

riversident@John:9:6 @ After saying this, he spit on the ground and made clay with the spittle and put the clay on the man's eyes

riversident@John:9:8 @ His neighbors and those accustomed to see him before, when he was begging, said, "Is not this the man that sat and begged?"

riversident@John:9:9 @ Some said, "This is he." Others said, "No, but he is like him." He said, "I am the man."

riversident@John:9:13 @ They brought him to the Pharisees \'97 the man once blind.

riversident@John:9:14 @ It was on the Sabbath day that Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes.

riversident@John:9:15 @ The Pharisees in their turn asked him how he received his sight. He said to them, "He put clay on my eyes and I washed and I saw."

riversident@John:9:16 @ Some of the Pharisees said, "This man is not from God because he does not keep the Sabbath." Others said, "How can a man, if he is a sinner, do such signs?" So there was a division among them.

riversident@John:9:17 @ They said again to the blind man, "What do you say about him, now that he has opened your eyes?" He said, "He is a prophet."

riversident@John:9:18 @ The Jews did not believe the story that he was blind and recovered his sight, until they had called the parents of the man who had recovered his sight

riversident@John:9:22 @ His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews. For the Jews had already agreed that if any one confessed Jesus as the Christ, he should be cast out of the synagogue.

riversident@John:9:24 @ They called a second time the man who had been blind, and said to him, "Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner."

riversident@John:9:25 @ The man answered, "Whether he is a sinner I do not know. One thing I know, I was blind and now I see."

riversident@John:9:30 @ The man answered them, "There is something wonderful in this. You do not know where he comes from, yet he has opened my eyes!

riversident@John:9:32 @ Since the world began it has not been heard that any one opened the eyes of a man born blind.

riversident@John:9:36 @ The man answered, "Who is he, Sir? Tell me, so that I may believe in him."

riversident@John:9:40 @ Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard this and said to him, "Are we blind also?"

riversident@John:10:19 @ There was again a division among the Jews, on account of these words.

riversident@John:10:21 @ Others said, "These words are not those of a demoniac. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?"

riversident@John:10:22 @ Then came the Feast of Renovation in Jerusalem. It was winter.

riversident@John:10:23 @ Jesus was walking in the Temple courts, in Solomon's Colonnade.

riversident@John:10:24 @ The Jews came in a circle around him and said to him, "How long are you going to keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us frankly."

riversident@John:10:31 @ Again the Jews took up stones to stone him.

riversident@John:10:33 @ The Jews answered him, "For a good work we are not stoning you, but for profane words, because you, a man, are making yourself God."

riversident@John:10:40 @ and went away again beyond the Jordan to the place where John was at first when he was baptizing, and he stayed there.

riversident@John:11:1 @ THERE was a certain man sick \'97 Lazarus of Bethany, of the village of Mary and Martha her sister.

riversident@John:11:2 @ It was that Mary who anointed the Master with perfume and wiped his feet with her hair whose brother Lazarus was sick.

riversident@John:11:3 @ So the sisters sent to Jesus, saying, "Master, he whom you love is sick."

riversident@John:11:7 @ Then, after that, he said to the disciples,

riversident@John:11:8 @ The disciples said to him, "Rabbi, just now the Jews were trying to stone you, and are you going there again?"

riversident@John:11:12 @ The disciples said to him, "Master, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover."

riversident@John:11:13 @...spoken of his death. They thought...

riversident@John:11:17 @ When Jesus came he found that Lazarus had been already four days in the tomb.

riversident@John:11:19 @ and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary to comfort them regarding their brother.

riversident@John:11:20 @ When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went out to meet him. Mary was sitting in the house.

riversident@John:11:24 @ Martha said to him, "I know that he will rise at the resurrection on the last day."

riversident@John:11:27 @ She said to him, "Yes, Master. I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world."

riversident@John:11:30 @ Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was still in the place where Martha had met him.

riversident@John:11:31 @ The Jews who were with Mary in the house trying to comfort her, seeing her rise quickly and go out, followed thinking that she was going to the tomb to wail there.

riversident@John:11:33 @ When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come with her weeping, he was indignant in spirit and disturbed,

riversident@John:11:36 @ The Jews said, "See, how he loved him!"

riversident@John:11:37 @ Some of them said, "Could not this man, who opened the eyes of the blind, have prevented this man from dying?"

riversident@John:11:38 @ Jesus, again indignant, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone was lying on the entrance.

riversident@John:11:39 @ Jesus said, Martha, the sister of the dead man, said to him, "Master, he is already offensive, for he has been dead four days."

riversident@John:11:41 @ So they took away the stone. Jesus lifted up his eyes and said,

riversident@John:11:44 @ Forth came the dead man, swathed feet and hands in grave-clothes and his face bound up in a handkerchief. Jesus said,

riversident@John:11:45 @ Many of the Jews who had come to Mary and had seen what Jesus did believed in him.

riversident@John:11:46 @ But some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.

riversident@John:11:47 @ So the high priests and the Pharisees assembled the Council and said, "What are we doing? for this man is doing many signs.

riversident@John:11:48 @ If we let him alone in this way, all will believe in him and the Romans will come and destroy our place and nation."

riversident@John:11:50 @ nor do you reason that it is better for you that one man should die for the people and so the whole nation escape destruction."

riversident@John:11:51 @ He did not say this of himself, but being High Priest that year he prophesied that Jesus was about to die for the nation,

riversident@John:11:52 @ and not for the nation only, but to gather into one the children of God now scattered far and wide.

riversident@John:11:54 @ So Jesus no more walked about openly among the Jews, but went away from there into the country near the wild lands, to a city called Ephraim, and there he stayed with his disciples.

riversident@John:11:55 @ The Passover of the Jews was near and many went up to Jerusalem from the country before the Passover to purify themselves.

riversident@John:11:56 @ They were looking for Jesus and were saying to one another, as they stood in the Temple courts, "What do you think? That he will not come to the feast?"

riversident@John:11:57 @ The high priests and the Pharisees had given orders that, if any one knew where he was, he should report it so that they might arrest him.

riversident@John:12:1 @ SIX days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was whom he had raised from the dead.

riversident@John:12:3 @...feet with her hair. The house...

riversident@John:12:4 @ Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, the one who was going to betray him, said,

riversident@John:12:5 @ "Why was not this perfume sold for three hundred shillings and the money given to the poor?"

riversident@John:12:6 @ He said this, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief and having the purse used to pilfer what was put into it.

riversident@John:12:9 @ A great crowd of the Jews learned that he was there, and they came, not on account of Jesus alone, but also to see Lazarus whom he had raised from the dead.

riversident@John:12:10 @ The high priests planned to kill Lazarus too,

riversident@John:12:11 @ because many of the Jews on account of him went and believed in Jesus.

riversident@John:12:12 @ On the next day the great crowd which had come to the feast, hearing that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

riversident@John:12:13 @ took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, shouting, "God save him! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord \'97 the King of Israel!"

riversident@John:12:15 @ "Fear not, daughter of Zion! Behold, your King comes, sitting on the foal of an ass!"

riversident@John:12:17 @ The people that were with him when he called Lazarus from the tomb and raised him from the dead were bearing witness to it.

riversident@John:12:18 @ For this reason the crowd went to meet him, because they had heard that he had done this sign.

riversident@John:12:19 @ The Pharisees said among themselves, "You see that you are gaining nothing. Look, the world has gone off after him."

riversident@John:12:20 @ There were some Greeks among those who had come up to worship at the feast.

riversident@John:12:29 @ The crowd that was standing there and heard said that it had thundered. Others said, "An angel spoke to him."

riversident@John:12:34 @ The crowd answered him, "We have heard out of the Law that the Christ remains forever. How do you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?"

riversident@John:12:38 @ so that the word of Isaiah the prophet should be fulfilled. Isaiah said, "Lord, who has believed our report, and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?"

riversident@John:12:42 @ Nevertheless, even of the rulers many did believe in him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess it, in order not to be expelled from the synagogue;

riversident@John:12:43 @ for they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.

riversident@John:13:1 @ BEFORE the Feast of the Passover, Jesus, knowing that the hour had come for him to pass from this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world loved them to the end.

riversident@John:13:2 @ During supper, the Devil having already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, to betray him,

riversident@John:13:3 @ Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands and that he had come from God and was going to God,

riversident@John:13:5 @ Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the feet of the disciples and to wipe them with the towel he had around him.

riversident@John:13:11 @ For he knew the one who was going to betray him. For this reason he said,

riversident@John:13:22 @ The disciples looked at one another wondering whom he meant.

riversident@John:13:23 @ One of his disciples was leaning on Jesus' breast \'97 the one Jesus loved.

riversident@John:13:25 @ He, leaning back on the breast of Jesus, said to him, "Master, who is it?"

riversident@John:13:26 @ Jesus answered, When he had dipped the bread, he took it and gave it to Judas the son of Simon Iscariot.

riversident@John:13:27 @ After the piece of bread Satan entered into him. Jesus said to him,

riversident@John:13:28 @ No one of those reclining at the table understood why he said this to him.

riversident@John:13:29 @ Some thought, since Judas had the purse, that Jesus was telling him, "Buy what we need for the feast," or to give something to the poor.

riversident@John:13:30 @ After taking the morsel Judas immediately went out. It was night.

riversident@John:14:5 @ Thomas said to him, "Master, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?"

riversident@John:14:8 @ Philip said to him, "Master, show us the Father and we shall be satisfied."

riversident@John:14:22 @ Judas (note:)not Iscariot(:note) said to him, "Master, what has happened that you are going to show yourself to us and not to the world?"

riversident@John:18:1 @ WHEN Jesus had spoken these words, he went out with his disciples across the brook Kidron to a place where there was a garden. Into this he entered with his disciples.

riversident@John:18:2 @ Judas who was betraying him knew the place, for Jesus often met with his disciples there.

riversident@John:18:3 @ So Judas, getting a battalion of soldiers and some subordinate officers of the high priests and the Pharisees, came there with torches and lamps and weapons.

riversident@John:18:5 @ They answered him, "Jesus the Nazarene." He said to them, Judas the traitor was standing with them.

riversident@John:18:6 @ When he said to them, they moved backward and fell to the ground.

riversident@John:18:13 @ and took him first to Annas, for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas who was High Priest that year.

riversident@John:18:14 @ Caiaphas was the man who had advised the Jews that it was best that one man should die for the people.

riversident@John:18:15 @ Simon Peter was following Jesus and so was another disciple. That disciple was known to the High Priest and he went in with Jesus into the court of the High Priest.

riversident@John:18:19 @ The High Priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and his teaching.

riversident@John:18:22 @ When he said this, a policeman, who was standing by, gave Jesus a slap, saying, "Do you answer the High Priest that way?"

riversident@John:18:24 @ Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas the High Priest.

riversident@John:18:26 @ One of the servants of the High Priest, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, said, "Did I not see you in the garden with him?"

riversident@John:18:35 @ Pilate answered, "I am not a Jew, am I? Your nation and the high priests have handed you over to me. What have you done?"

riversident@John:18:38 @ Pilate said to him, "What is truth?" After saying this he went out again to the Jews and said to them, "I find no crime in him.

riversident@John:18:39 @ But you have a custom that I should release for you one at the Passover. Do you want me to release for you the King of the Jews?"

riversident@John:19:2 @ The soldiers twisted a crown of thorns and placed it on his head, threw around him a purple cloak,

riversident@John:19:3 @ and kept coming up to him and saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!" and slapping him.

riversident@John:19:5 @ Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple cloak. Pilate said to them, "Here is the man!"

riversident@John:19:7 @ The Jews answered, "We have a law and by that law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God."

riversident@John:19:9 @ and went into the Castle and said to Jesus, "Where do you come from?" But Jesus gave him no answer.

riversident@John:19:12 @ After this, Pilate kept trying to release him, but the Jews shouted, "If you let this man go you are not a friend of Caesar. Every one who makes himself a king speaks against Caesar."

riversident@John:19:13 @ Pilate, on hearing these words, brought Jesus out and sat down on the judge's seat in the place called the Mosaic Pavement \'97 in Hebrew, Gabbatha.

riversident@John:19:28 @ After this, Jesus knowing that now all things had been completed, in order that the Scripture might be fulfilled said,

riversident@John:19:30 @ When Jesus had taken the sour wine, he said, and bowing his head gave up his spirit.

riversident@John:19:31 @ The Jews, because it was Preparation Day, in order that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the Sabbath, for that Sabbath was a great day, requested Pilate to have their legs broken to kill them.

riversident@John:19:32 @ So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man and of the other who was crucified with him.

riversident@John:19:34 @ But one of the soldiers with his spear pierced his side and immediately there came forth blood and water.

riversident@John:19:35 @ He who saw it has borne witness and his witness is true, and he knows that he speaks the truth in order that you may believe.

riversident@John:19:36 @ For this happened that the Scripture might be fulfilled, "A bone of him shall not be broken."

riversident@John:19:38 @ After this, Joseph of Arimathaea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, asked of Pilate permission to carry away the body of Jesus, and Pilate granted it. So he came and carried his body away.

riversident@John:19:39 @ Nicodemus, the man who came to him at first by night, came also bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds weight.

riversident@John:19:40 @ They took the body of Jesus and wrapped it in linen cloths with the spices, according to the custom of the Jews in preparing for burial.

riversident@John:19:41 @ There was in the place where he had been crucified a garden and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had been laid.

riversident@John:19:42 @ There, on account of the Preparation of the Jews, because the tomb was near, they laid Jesus.

riversident@John:20:1 @ ON the first day of the week, early in the morning while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and saw that the stone had been taken from the tomb.

riversident@John:20:2 @ She ran and came to Simon Peter and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and said to them, "They have taken away the Master from the tomb and we do not know where they have laid him."

riversident@John:20:3 @ Simon Peter and the other disciple went out and made their way to the tomb.

riversident@John:20:4 @ They were both running, and the other disciple outran Peter and came first to the tomb,

riversident@John:20:5 @ and stooping he saw the linen cloths lying; but he did not enter.

riversident@John:20:6 @ Simon Peter came following him and entered the tomb and looked at the linen cloths lying

riversident@John:20:7 @ and the handkerchief that had been about his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but rolled up in a place apart.

riversident@John:20:8 @ Then the other disciple who had come first to the tomb entered, and he saw and believed.

riversident@John:20:9 @ For they did not yet know the Scripture that he must rise from the dead.

riversident@John:20:10 @ Then the disciples went back to where they were staying.

riversident@John:20:11 @ Mary was standing by the tomb outside weeping. As she wept she stooped and looked into the tomb

riversident@John:20:12 @ and saw two angels in white sitting one at the head and one at the feet where the body of Jesus had lain.

riversident@John:20:15 @ Jesus said to her, She, thinking that he was the gardener, said to him, "Sir, if you have removed him, tell me where you have laid him and I will take him away."

riversident@John:20:18 @ Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples, "I have seen the Master," and she told that he had said these things to her.

riversident@John:20:19 @ In the evening of that day, the first day of the week, when the doors had been closed where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst and said to them,

riversident@John:20:20 @...hands and his side. The disciples...

riversident@John:20:24 @ Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus (note:)the Twin(:note), was not with them when Jesus came.

riversident@John:20:25 @ The other disciples said to him, "We have seen the Master." But he said to them, "Unless I see in his hands the print of the nails and put my finger into the print of the nails and put my hand into his side, I will not believe it."

riversident@John:20:26 @ After eight days the disciples were again within and Thomas was with them. Jesus came and stood in the midst and said,

riversident@John:20:30 @ Jesus did before the disciples many other signs which are not written in this book.

riversident@John:20:31 @ But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life through his name.

riversident@John:21:1 @ AFTER this, Jesus showed himself again to the disciples at the Lake of Tiberias. He showed himself in this way.

riversident@John:21:2 @ There were together Simon Peter and Thomas, called Didymus (note:)the Twin(:note), and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee and two other disciples.

riversident@John:21:4 @...stood on the beach. The disciples,...

riversident@John:21:6 @...said to them, They cast,...

riversident@John:21:7 @ That disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It is the Master!" Simon Peter, on hearing that it was the Master, girded around him his blouse, for he was naked, and threw himself into the lake.

riversident@John:21:8 @ The other disciples came in the small boat, for they were not far from land \'97 about a hundred yards \'97 dragging the netful of fish.

riversident@John:21:11 @ Simon Peter got into the boat and drew the net to land full of big fishes \'97 a hundred and fifty-three \'97 and though there were so many the net was not torn.

riversident@John:21:12 @ Jesus said, No one of the disciples dared to ask him who he was, knowing that it was the Master.

riversident@John:21:13 @ Jesus came and took bread and gave to them, and fish in the same manner.

riversident@John:21:14 @ This is now the third time that Jesus showed himself to the disciples after rising from the dead.

riversident@John:21:17 @ He said to him the third time, Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, and he said to him, "Master, you know all things. You know that I love you." Jesus said to him,

riversident@John:21:19 @ This he said, indicating the kind of death by which he would glorify God. After saying this he said to him,

riversident@John:21:20 @ Peter turned and saw the disciple whom Jesus loved, following. (note:)It was he who at the supper had leaned on Jesus' breast and said, "Lord, who is it that will betray you? "(:note)

riversident@John:21:23 @ So the report went out among the brethren that that disciple was not to die. But Jesus did not say to Peter that he would not die, but,

riversident@John:21:24 @ This is the disciple who witnesses to these things and who wrote these things, and we know that his testimony is true.

riversident@John:21:25 @ There are also many other things that Jesus did, but if these are written, every one, I do not think that the world itself will have room for the books when written.

riversident@Acts:1:1 @...IN my first book, Theophilus, I...

riversident@Acts:1:2 @ down to the day when, after giving commands, through the Holy Spirit, to the apostles whom he had chosen, he was taken up to heaven.

riversident@Acts:1:3 @ By many proofs he revealed himself to these men as still alive after his sufferings; for he was seen by them for forty days and spoke of things relating to the kingdom of God.

riversident@Acts:1:4 @ Also while eating with them, he charged them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, said he,

riversident@Acts:1:6 @ When they came together, they asked him, "Master, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?"

riversident@Acts:1:10 @ They were gazing into the sky as he went, when suddenly two men in white robes were standing beside them

riversident@Acts:1:11 @ and said, "Men of Galilee, why are you standing and looking up into the sky? This Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way that you have seen him go into heaven."

riversident@Acts:1:12 @ They then returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called the Olive Orchard, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey distant.

riversident@Acts:1:13 @...where they were staying. There were...

riversident@Acts:1:14 @ All of these continued earnestly and unitedly in prayer with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus and with his brothers.

riversident@Acts:1:15 @ In those days Peter stood up in the midst of the brethren (note:)the company numbered about a hundred and twenty(:note) and said:

riversident@Acts:1:16 @ "Brethren, it was necessary that the Scripture should be fulfilled which the Holy Spirit spoke through the mouth of David concerning Judas, who became guide to those who arrested Jesus.

riversident@Acts:1:18 @ (This man bought a piece of land with the price of his wickedness, and falling headlong he burst asunder and all his entrails were poured out.

riversident@Acts:1:19 @ It became known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that that field was called in their own language Akeldama, that is, the Field of Blood.)

riversident@Acts:1:20 @ For it is written in the book of Psalms, 'Let his dwelling become desolate and let there be no one living in it,' and, 'His overseership let another take.'

riversident@Acts:1:21 @ It is needful, therefore, that of the men who have been with us during all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,

riversident@Acts:1:22 @ from the baptism of John down to the day that he was taken up from us \'97 that one of these should become a witness with us of his resurrection."

riversident@Acts:1:24 @ In prayer they said, "O Lord, thou who knowest the hearts of all, show which one of these two thou has chosen

riversident@Acts:1:25 @ to take the place in this service and apostleship which Judas deserted to go to his own place."

riversident@Acts:1:26 @...cast lots between them. The lot...

riversident@Acts:2:1 @ DURING the course of the day of Pentecost they were all together in the same place,

riversident@Acts:2:2 @ when suddenly there came from heaven a sound as of a strong rushing wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

riversident@Acts:2:4 @ They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in foreign tongues, as the Spirit gave them power of expression.

riversident@Acts:2:6 @ When this sound was heard, the crowd came together and were astonished because each one heard them speaking in his own language.

riversident@Acts:2:10 @ Phrygia and Pamphilia, Egypt and the regions of Libya toward Cyrene, visitors from Rome, Jews and proselytes,

riversident@Acts:2:11 @ Cretans and Arabians \'97 we hear them speaking in our languages the mighty works of God."

riversident@Acts:2:14 @ But Peter, standing up with the eleven, raised his voice and declared to them: "Fellow Jews, and all of you who live in Jerusalem, understand this and listen to my words.

riversident@Acts:2:15 @ These are not drunk, as you assume, for it is only nine o'clock in the morning;

riversident@Acts:2:16 @ but this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel:

riversident@Acts:2:17 @ 'It will be in the last days, says God, that I will pour out my Spirit upon all mankind, and your sons and your daughters will prophesy, and your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams.

riversident@Acts:2:18 @ Yes, upon the slave men and slave girls that are mine I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.

riversident@Acts:2:19 @ I will give portents in heaven above and signs on the earth beneath, blood and fire and vapor of smoke.

riversident@Acts:2:20 @ The sun will be turned into darkness and the moon into blood before the day of the Lord comes \'97 that great and glorious day.

riversident@Acts:2:21 @ And every one who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.'

riversident@Acts:2:22 @ Fellow Israelites, listen to these words: Jesus the Nazarene was a man proved to be sent to you from God by miracles, wonders, and signs which God did through him in the midst of you, as you yourselves know.

riversident@Acts:2:23 @ But when he had been delivered up according to the fixed purpose and foreknowledge of God, you crucified and killed him through the hands of lawless men.

riversident@Acts:2:24 @ But God freed him from the pangs of death and raised him up, since it was impossible that he should be held under the power of death.

riversident@Acts:2:25 @ For David says of him, 'I saw the Lord always before my face, for he is at my right hand so that I may not be cast down.

riversident@Acts:2:28 @ Thou makest me know the paths of life. Thou wilt fill me with joy in thy presence.'

riversident@Acts:2:29 @ "Brethren, allow me to say frankly to you regarding the patriarch David that he died and was buried and his tomb is among us to this day.

riversident@Acts:2:31 @ he foreseeing spoke of the resurrection of the Christ, saying that he was not left to Hades and that his flesh did not see decay.

riversident@Acts:2:33 @ Therefore having been exalted to the right hand of God and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this which you see and hear.

riversident@Acts:2:34 @ For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he says, 'The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand,

riversident@Acts:2:36 @ Let all the house of Israel know surely that this Jesus, whom you crucified, God has made both Lord and Christ."

riversident@Acts:2:37 @ Hearing this they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, "What shall we do, brethren?"

riversident@Acts:2:38 @ Peter said to them, "Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ, for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

riversident@Acts:2:39 @ For the promise belongs to you and to your children and to all those who are far off, as many as the Lord your God may call."

riversident@Acts:2:42 @ These gave constant attention to the teaching of the apostles and to the fellowship and the breaking of bread and the prayers.

riversident@Acts:2:43 @ Awe came on every soul. Many wonders and signs were done by the apostles.

riversident@Acts:2:46 @ Every day, continuing with one accord in the Temple courts and in breaking bread from house to house, they ate together in joy and simplicity of heart,

riversident@Acts:2:47 @...with all the people. The Lord...

riversident@Acts:3:1 @ PETER and John were going up into the Temple courts at the hour of prayer, three o'clock,

riversident@Acts:3:2 @ when a man lame from his birth was being carried along. This man used to be placed every day near the gate of the Temple courts \'97 the one called the Beautiful Gate \'97 to beg of those who were entering.

riversident@Acts:3:3 @ Seeing Peter and John about to go into the Temple courts, he begged to receive something.

riversident@Acts:3:6 @ But Peter said, "Silver and gold I have not; but what I have I will give you. In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, walk."

riversident@Acts:3:8 @ and he sprang up and stood and walked and entered the Temple court with them, walking and leaping and praising God.

riversident@Acts:3:9 @ All the people saw him walking about and praising God,

riversident@Acts:3:10 @ and when they recognized that it was he who had sat begging at the Beautiful Gate of the Temple court, they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.

riversident@Acts:3:11 @ While he still clung to Peter and John, all the people ran crowding around them in what was called Solomon's Colonnade, greatly astonished.

riversident@Acts:3:12 @ Peter, seeing the people, explained, "Fellow Israelites, why do you wonder at this, or why do you gaze so at us, as if by our own power or piety we had made him walk?

riversident@Acts:3:13 @ The God of Abraham and of Isaac and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his servant Jesus whom you delivered up and disowned before Pilate when he had decided to release him.

riversident@Acts:3:14 @ You disowned the holy and righteous one and begged to have a murderer granted you.

riversident@Acts:3:15 @ You killed the Author of life, but God raised him from the dead. Of this we are witnesses.

riversident@Acts:3:16 @ And now by faith in his name this man whom you see and know has been made strong by his name, and the faith that is through him has given this man this perfect soundness before you all.

riversident@Acts:3:18 @ God in this way fulfilled what he had predicted through the mouths of all the prophets that his Christ should suffer.

riversident@Acts:3:19 @ Therefore, repent and turn about, that your sins may be wiped away and the gracious face of the Lord may bring times of refreshing,

riversident@Acts:3:21 @ but whom heaven must receive until the times of the restoration of all things, of which God spoke through the mouths of his holy prophets of old.

riversident@Acts:3:24 @ And all the prophets, Samuel and those who followed him, all who spoke, also foretold these days.

riversident@Acts:3:25 @ You are the sons of the prophets and of the covenant which God established with your fathers when he said to Abraham, 'In your descendants all the families of the earth will be blessed.'

riversident@Acts:4:1 @ WHILE they were speaking to the people, the priests and the commandant of the Temple and the Sadducees came upon them,

riversident@Acts:4:2 @ being offended because they were teaching the people and proclaiming in the case of Jesus the resurrection from the dead.

riversident@Acts:4:3 @ They laid hands on them and placed them in custody until the next day, for it was already evening.

riversident@Acts:4:4 @ But many of those who had heard the message believed, and the number of the men grew to be about five thousand.

riversident@Acts:4:5 @ On the next day there was a gathering of their rulers and elders and scribes in Jerusalem,

riversident@Acts:4:6 @ with Annas the High Priest and Caiaphas and John and Alexander and all who were of high priestly race.

riversident@Acts:4:7 @ They placed the apostles in the midst and asked them, "By what power and in what name did you do this?"

riversident@Acts:4:8 @ Then Peter, full of the Holy Spirit, said to them, "Rulers of the people and elders,

riversident@Acts:4:10 @ be it known to all of you and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead \'97 by this name, this man stands here before you sound.

riversident@Acts:4:11 @ This is the stone which was despised by you the builders, and which has become the corner stone.

riversident@Acts:4:13 @ Observing the fearless outspokenness of Peter and John and perceiving that they were common, uneducated men, they were astonished, and they recognized them as former companions of Jesus.

riversident@Acts:4:14 @ Seeing the man who had been healed standing there with the apostles, they had nothing to say in opposition.

riversident@Acts:4:15 @ After ordering them to go out of the council, they conferred together,

riversident@Acts:4:17 @ But that it may not spread further among the people, let us sternly forbid them to speak any longer in this name to any one."

riversident@Acts:4:18 @ So, calling them in, they commanded them absolutely not to speak or teach in the name of Jesus.

riversident@Acts:4:19 @ But Peter and John answered them, "Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, judge for yourselves.

riversident@Acts:4:21 @ The Council after further threats set them at liberty, not finding any way to punish them on account of the people; for all were giving glory to God because of what had happened.

riversident@Acts:4:22 @ For the man upon whom this miracle of healing had been performed was more than forty years old.

riversident@Acts:4:23 @ The apostles upon being released came to their friends and told them all that the high priests and the elders had said.

riversident@Acts:4:24 @ They hearing it unitedly lifted up their prayer to God and said, "O Lord, thou who didst make the heaven and the earth and the sea and all things that are in them,

riversident@Acts:4:25 @ who through the Holy Spirit by the mouth of our father David, thy servant, didst say, 'Why do the heathen rage and the people imagine vain things?

riversident@Acts:4:30 @ while thou dost stretch out thine hand for healing and while signs and wonders are done through the name of thy holy servant Jesus."

riversident@Acts:4:31 @ After this prayer the place in which they were assembled was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the message of God with courageous freedom.

riversident@Acts:4:32 @ The multitude of those who had believed was of one heart and one soul, and no one said that any part of his property was his own, but they had all things in common.

riversident@Acts:4:33 @ With great power the apostles continued to bear witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. Great grace was upon them all.

riversident@Acts:4:34 @ Nor was any one in need among them, for all who were owners of lands or houses would sell them and bring the money for what had been sold

riversident@Acts:4:35 @ and lay it at the apostles' feet, and it would be distributed to each as he had need.

riversident@Acts:4:36 @ Joseph, to whom the apostles had given the name Barnabas, which means "Son of Encouragement," a Levite born in Cyprus,

riversident@Acts:5:14 @ Believers in the Lord were more and more being added, crowds both of men and of women,

riversident@Acts:5:15 @ so that they carried out the sick into the streets and laid them on couches and pallets with the hope that as Peter came by at least his shadow might fall on some one of them.

riversident@Acts:5:16 @ A crowd was coming too from the towns around Jerusalem, bringing sick people and those who were troubled by impure spirits, and these were all being healed.

riversident@Acts:5:17 @ But the High Priest and all his party \'97 the sect of the Sadducees \'97 became aroused and filled with indignation,

riversident@Acts:5:18 @ and laid hands on the apostles and put them into the public jail.

riversident@Acts:5:19 @ But an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors in the night and led them out and said,

riversident@Acts:8:1 @ SAUL also approved of their putting him to death. On that day arose a great persecution of the church in Jerusalem. All except the apostles were scattered through Judaea and Samaria.

riversident@Acts:8:3 @ Saul cruelly hounded the church from house to house, entering and dragging out men and women and handing them over into prison.

riversident@Acts:8:4 @ Those who were scattered went to various places telling the good news.

riversident@Acts:8:5 @ Philip went down to the city of Samaria and proclaimed the Christ to them.

riversident@Acts:8:6 @ The crowds with one mind gave attention to what was said by Philip, listening to his words and seeing the signs that he did.

riversident@Acts:8:9 @ A certain man named Simon had previously been practicing magic in the city and astonishing the people of Samaria, giving out that he was some great one.

riversident@Acts:8:10 @ They had all given attention to him, from the least to the greatest, saying, "This man is the power of God which is called great."

riversident@Acts:8:12 @ But when they believed Philip, who was telling the good news of the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.

riversident@Acts:8:13 @ Simon himself also believed and was baptized and attached himself to Philip, and seeing the signs and great miracles that took place he was astonished.

riversident@Acts:8:14 @ When the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria had accepted the message of God, they sent to them Peter and John.

riversident@Acts:8:15 @ They on arrival prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit.

riversident@Acts:8:16 @ For the Spirit had not yet fallen on any one of them; they had merely been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

riversident@Acts:8:17 @ Then they laid their hands on them and they received the Holy Spirit.

riversident@Acts:8:18 @ When Simon saw that the Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles' hands, he offered them money,

riversident@Acts:8:19 @ saying, "Give to me also this power that whoever I lay hands on may receive the Holy Spirit."

riversident@Acts:8:24 @ Simon answered, "You pray for me to the Lord that nothing of what you have said may come on me."

riversident@Acts:8:25 @ So when they had borne their testimony and had spoken the message of the Lord, they returned to Jerusalem, telling the good news in many villages of the Samaritans.

riversident@Acts:8:26 @ An angel of the Lord said to Philip, "Arise and go south-ward on the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza, the road through the desert."

riversident@Acts:8:27 @ He arose and went. Now there was a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of high rank under Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was over her treasury. He had been to Jerusalem to worship

riversident@Acts:8:28 @ and was on his return, sitting in his chariot and reading the prophet Isaiah.

riversident@Acts:8:29 @ The Spirit said to Philip, "Go up and join this chariot."

riversident@Acts:8:32 @ The passage of Scripture that he was reading was, "He was led as a sheep to slaughter, and as a lamb before his shearer is dumb, so he did not open his mouth.

riversident@Acts:8:33 @ In his humiliation justice was denied him. Who will describe his generation? For his life is taken away from the earth."

riversident@Acts:8:34 @ The eunuch said to Philip, "Please tell me, of whom is the prophet speaking \'97 of himself or of some one else?"

riversident@Acts:8:35 @ Philip opened his mouth and beginning with that Scripture told him the good news about Jesus.

riversident@Acts:8:36 @ As they were going along the road they came to water, and the eunuch said, "Here is water. What is there to hinder my being baptized?"

riversident@Acts:8:38 @ He ordered the chariot to stop and they both went down into the water, Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him.

riversident@Acts:8:39 @ When they had come up out of the water, the Spirit caught away Philip, and the eunuch saw him no more. He went on his way rejoicing.

riversident@Acts:8:40 @ But Philip found himself at Azotus, and passing through all the cities he told the good news until he came to Casarea.

riversident@Acts:9:1 @ SAUL was still breathing out threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord. He went to the High Priest

riversident@Acts:9:2 @ and asked from him letters to the synagogues in Damascus, that if he should find any persons who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.

riversident@Acts:9:4 @ He fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him,

riversident@Acts:9:19 @ and after taking food he regained his strength. Saul passed some days with the disciples who were in Damascus,

riversident@Acts:9:20 @ and at once he began to proclaim in the synagogues that Jesus was the Son of God.

riversident@Acts:9:21 @ All who heard him were astonished and said, "Is not this the man who in Jerusalem persecuted those who call on this name, and who came here for the very purpose of binding and taking them to the high priests?"

riversident@Acts:9:22 @ But Saul grew stronger and put to confusion the Jews who lived at Damascus, as he proved that this man was the Christ.

riversident@Acts:9:25 @ But the disciples took him at night and let him down through an opening in the wall, lowering him in a basket.

riversident@Acts:9:26 @ When Saul reached Jerusalem, he tried to attach himself to the disciples, but all were afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.

riversident@Acts:9:27 @ But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles, and related to them how he had seen the Lord on the road and how the Lord had spoken to him, and how courageously he had spoken in Damascus in the name of Jesus.

riversident@Acts:9:29 @ and speaking freely in the name of the Lord. He frequently spoke and debated with the Greek-speaking Jews. But they kept trying to put him out of the way.

riversident@Acts:9:30 @ When the brethren learned of it, they took him down to Caesarea and sent him away to Tarsus.

riversident@Acts:9:31 @ So the church had peace throughout all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria, and was built up, and advancing in the reverence of the Lord and by the encouragement of the Holy Spirit grew continually in numbers.

riversident@Acts:9:32 @ It happened that Peter, while passing about among all the holy, came down also to those who were dwelling at Lydda.

riversident@Acts:9:35 @ All who were living in Lydda and Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord.

riversident@Acts:9:38 @ Since Lydda was near to Joppa and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent two men to him begging him, "Do not delay to come on down to us."

riversident@Acts:9:39 @ Peter arose and went along with them. On his arrival they took him up to the room. All of the widows came around him wailing and showing the tunics and cloaks that Dorcas had made while she was with them.

riversident@Acts:10:9 @ On the next day, while they were on the road and approaching the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray. It was about noon.

riversident@Acts:10:11 @ and saw the heavens opened and something descending like a great sheet being let down to the ground by the four corners.

riversident@Acts:10:12 @ In it were all kinds of fourfooted animals and reptiles and birds of the air.

riversident@Acts:10:15 @ A second time the voice came to him,

riversident@Acts:10:16 @ This happened a third time, and then immediately the sheet was taken up into the heavens.

riversident@Acts:10:44 @ While Peter was speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all who were listening to his message.

riversident@Acts:10:45 @ All the believers who were of the circumcision who had come along with Peter were amazed that the gift of the Holy Spirit was poured out on the Gentiles,

riversident@Acts:14:15 @ "Men, why are you doing this? We too are men with the same weaknesses that you have. We are bringing you the good news that you are to turn from these foolish things to the living God, who made the heavens and the earth and the sea and all things that are in them.

riversident@Acts:14:16 @ In past generations he permitted all the nations to go their own ways,

riversident@Acts:14:18 @ Even by saying this they with difficulty kept the crowds from offering sacrifice to them.

riversident@Acts:14:19 @ But Jews arrived from Antioch and Iconium and won over the crowds, and they stoned Paul and dragged him outside of the city, thinking that he was dead.

riversident@Acts:14:20 @ But when the disciples gathered around him he rose up and reentered the city. On the next day he left with Barnabas for Derbe.

riversident@Acts:14:21 @...a number of disciples. Then they...

riversident@Acts:14:22 @ reassuring the minds of the disciples and encouraging them to be steadfast in the faith, saying, "Through many trials we must enter into the kingdom of God."

riversident@Acts:14:23 @ They appointed elders for them in every church, and after prayer and fasting committed them to the Lord in whom they had believed.

riversident@Acts:14:25 @ After telling the message in Perga, they came down to Attalia.

riversident@Acts:14:26 @ From there they sailed for Antioch, where they had been committed to the grace of God for the work which they had now completed.

riversident@Acts:14:27 @ Upon their arrival they assembled the church and narrated all that God, working with them, had done, and how he had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles.

riversident@Acts:14:28 @ There they passed no little time with the disciples.

riversident@Acts:15:1 @ BUT certain men came down from Judaea and undertook to teach the brethren, "Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved."

riversident@Acts:15:2 @ Since no little dissension and controversy arose between Paul and Barnabas and these men, it was arranged that Paul and Barnabas and some others of them should go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and elders about this question.

riversident@Acts:15:3 @ So they were sent on by the church and passed through Phoenicia and Samaria, relating the conversion of the Gentiles, which caused great joy to all the brethren.

riversident@Acts:15:4 @ On their arrival in Jerusalem they were welcomed by the church and the apostles and the elders, and they narrated all that God, working with them, had done.

riversident@Acts:15:5 @ Then some of the party of the Pharisees, who had become believers, rose and said, "We must circumcise them and tell them to keep the Law of Moses."

riversident@Acts:15:6 @ The apostles and elders met to confer about this matter.

riversident@Acts:15:7 @ After there had been much debate, Peter rose and said to them, "Brethren, you know that in early days God chose among you that through my mouth the Gentiles should hear the message of good news and should believe.

riversident@Acts:15:8 @ And God, who knows all hearts, bore witness to them by giving them the Holy Spirit, just as he did to us.

riversident@Acts:15:10 @ Now, therefore, why are you testing God by putting on the neck of the disciples a yoke which neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear?

riversident@Acts:15:11 @ On the contrary we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus just as they are."

riversident@Acts:15:12 @ The whole assembly remained silent and listened to Barnabas and Paul relating all the signs and wonders that God had done through them among the Gentiles.

riversident@Acts:15:14 @ Symeon has told how first God graciously visited the Gentiles and took a people for his name.

riversident@Acts:15:15 @ With this the words of the prophets agree, as it is written,

riversident@Acts:15:16 @ 'After this I will return and build up again the tent of David which has fallen down; yes, I will build up its ruins and erect it again,

riversident@Acts:15:17 @ that the rest of mankind may seek the Lord, even all the Gentiles upon whom my name has been bestowed, says the Lord

riversident@Acts:15:19 @ Therefore I judge best not to trouble those of the Gentiles who have turned to God,

riversident@Acts:15:21 @ For Moses has had for generations past in every city those who preach him, for he is read in the synagogues every Sabbath."

riversident@Acts:15:22 @ Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole church, to select men from themselves and to send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas; namely, Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, men esteemed among the brethren.

riversident@Acts:15:23 @ They wrote and sent by their hands the following letter: "The Apostles and the Brethren who are elders, to the Brethren from the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia: Greeting.

riversident@Acts:15:26 @ who have exposed their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

riversident@Acts:15:27 @ We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who will tell you orally the same things.

riversident@Acts:15:28 @ For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to lay on you no further burden than these necessary things:

riversident@Acts:15:30 @ So they were sent away and went down to Antioch, where they called together the whole body and delivered over the letter.

riversident@Acts:15:31 @ On reading it they rejoiced over the encouragement.

riversident@Acts:15:32 @ Both Judas and Silas, being themselves prophets, encouraged and confirmed the brethren by long addresses.

riversident@Acts:15:33 @ After spending some time they were sent away with a message of peace from the brethren to those who had sent them.

riversident@Acts:15:35 @ Paul and Barnabas stayed on in Antioch teaching and telling, in association with many others, the good news of the Lord's message.

riversident@Acts:15:36 @ After some time Paul said to Barnabas, "Let us go back and visit the brethren in every city in which we made known the Lord's message, and see how they are prospering."

riversident@Acts:15:38 @ But Paul did not approve of taking him along, since he had left them in Pamphylia and had not gone on with them into the work.

riversident@Acts:15:40 @ Paul selected Silas and left, after being commended to the grace of the Lord by the brethren.

riversident@Acts:15:41 @ They went through Syria and Cilicia strengthening the churches.

riversident@Acts:16:1 @ THEY came to Derbe and Lystra. At Lystra there was a disciple named Timothy, the son of a Jewish woman, who was a believer, and of a Greek father.

riversident@Acts:16:2 @ He had a good reputation among the brethren in Lystra and Iconium.

riversident@Acts:16:3 @ Paul wished to have Timothy go with him. So he took him and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those parts. For they all knew that his father was a Greek.

riversident@Acts:16:4 @ Thus they traveled through the cities and delivered to the disciples for observance the rules that had been decided on by the apostles and elders in Jerusalem.

riversident@Acts:16:5 @ So the churches grew firmer in faith and increased in numbers from day to day.

riversident@Acts:16:6 @ They went through Phrygia and the Galatian country, the Holy Spirit having prevented their speaking the message in Asia.

riversident@Acts:16:7 @ Upon reaching Mysia they attempted to go into Bithynia, but the spirit of Jesus did not allow them.

riversident@Acts:16:9 @ There a vision appeared to Paul in the night \'97 a Macedonian man was standing and begging him saying, "Come over into Macedonia and help us."

riversident@Acts:16:10 @ After Paul had seen the vision, we at once tried to go out to Macedonia, inferring that God had called on us to tell the good news to the people there.

riversident@Acts:16:11 @ Sailing away from Troas we made a straight run to Samothrace, and on the next day to Neapolis.

riversident@Acts:16:12 @ From there we went to Philippi, which is the first city of that part of Macedonia and is a Roman colony. We remained in that city for a number of days.

riversident@Acts:16:13 @ On the Sabbath day we went outside of the gate to a place on the riverside where it was customary to go for prayer, and we sat down and talked with the women who had gathered there.

riversident@Acts:16:14 @ One woman named Lydia, a dealer in purple, from the city of Thyatira, who reverenced God, was listening. God opened her heart to receive what was said by Paul.

riversident@Acts:16:15 @ When she had been baptized along with her household, she begged us, "If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house and stay," and she insisted on our doing so.

riversident@Acts:16:16 @ It so happened that as we were going to the place of prayer a certain slave girl who had a spirit of divination met us. She was bringing great gain to her masters by divining.

riversident@Acts:16:17 @ She followed Paul and us and kept calling out, "These men are servants of God Most High, and they are teaching you the way of salvation."

riversident@Acts:16:18 @ This she kept doing for many days. Paul was annoyed, and turning he said to the spirit, "I tell you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her," and it came out at that very moment.

riversident@Acts:16:19 @ When her masters saw that the hope of their gain was gone, they laid hold of Paul and Silas and dragged them into the public square before the authorities.

riversident@Acts:16:20 @ Bringing them in, they said to the magistrates, "These men, who are Jews, are disturbing our city

riversident@Acts:16:22 @ The crowd joined in the attack upon them, and the magistrates tore off their clothes and ordered them to be beaten with rods.

riversident@Acts:16:23 @ After laying many stripes upon them they cast them into prison, ordering the jailer to keep them securely.

riversident@Acts:16:24 @ He on receiving such an order thrust them into the inner prison and made their feet secure in the stocks.

riversident@Acts:16:25 @ But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening.

riversident@Acts:16:26 @ Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken. Immediately all the doors were opened and every one's fetters were loosed.

riversident@Acts:16:27 @ The jailer, waking from sleep and seeing the doors of the prison open, drew his sword and was about to kill himself, thinking that the prisoners had escaped.

riversident@Acts:16:31 @ They said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved, and your household,"

riversident@Acts:16:32 @ and they told the message of God to him and to all who were in his house.

riversident@Acts:16:33 @...and washed their stripes. Then he...

riversident@Acts:16:34 @ He brought them into his house and spread the table for them, and rejoiced with his whole family because he had believed in God.

riversident@Acts:16:35 @ When morning came the magistrates sent their orderlies to say, "Set those men at liberty."

riversident@Acts:16:36 @ The jailer told this order to Paul, "The magistrates have sent to have you set at liberty. Now go out and proceed on your journey in peace."

riversident@Acts:16:38 @ The orderlies reported these words to the magistrates. When they heard that they were Romans they were alarmed,

riversident@Acts:16:39 @ and came and begged them, and after leading them out requested them to leave the city.

riversident@Acts:16:40 @ They came out of the prison and went into Lydia's house, and after seeing and encouraging the brethren they departed.

riversident@Acts:17:1 @...Apollonia they came to Thessalonica. Here...

riversident@Acts:17:2 @ According to Paul's custom he went in to meet with them, and on three Sabbath days he reasoned with them from the Scriptures,

riversident@Acts:17:3 @ explaining and showing that it was necessary that the Christ should suffer and rise from the dead, and saying, "Jesus of whom I am telling you is the Christ."

riversident@Acts:17:4 @ Some of them were persuaded and attached themselves to Paul and Silas \'97 a large number of the pious Greeks and not a few of the leading women.

riversident@Acts:17:5 @ But the Jews became excited and, taking with them some of the base loafers from the market-...the city into confusion. They attacked...

riversident@Acts:17:6 @ Not finding them, they dragged Jason and certain brethren before the magistrates, shouting, "These men who have upset the world have now come here.

riversident@Acts:17:7 @...Jason has received them. They all...\'97 Jesus."

riversident@Acts:17:8 @ Both the crowd and the magistrates were disturbed on hearing this.

riversident@Acts:17:9 @ So they took security from Jason and the rest and then dismissed them.

riversident@Acts:17:10 @...the night to Beraea. They on...

riversident@Acts:17:11 @...than those in Thessalonica. They welcomed...

riversident@Acts:17:13 @...When the Jews of Thessalonica learned...

riversident@Acts:17:14 @ At once then the brethren sent away Paul to go down to the sea coast. Silas and Timothy remained there.

riversident@Acts:17:16 @ While Paul was waiting for them in Athens, his spirit was stirred within him as he looked upon the city full of idols.

riversident@Acts:17:17 @ He often debated in the synagogue with the Jews and pious persons, and in the market-place every day with whoever happened to be there.

riversident@Acts:17:18 @ Some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers encountered him, and some said, "What can this idle talker mean?" Others said, "He seems to be a proclaimer of foreign gods," because he was telling the good news of Jesus and the resurrection.

riversident@Acts:17:19 @ They took him and led him up on to the Areopagus, saying, "May we know what this new doctrine that you are speaking of is?

riversident@Acts:17:21 @ For all the Athenians and the foreigners residing there spent their time in nothing else than in telling or hearing something newer than the last.

riversident@Acts:17:22 @ Paul took his stand in the midst of the Areopagus and said: "Men of Athens, I see that you are in every way unusually reverential to the gods.

riversident@Acts:17:24 @ "The God who made the world and all the things that are in it, he who is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made by hands,

riversident@Acts:17:26 @ And he made of one every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, having marked out the appointed times and the boundaries of their abodes,

riversident@Acts:17:29 @ Being then the offspring of God, we ought not to think that deity is like gold or silver or stone, a thing carved by man's art and thought.

riversident@Acts:17:30 @ The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now he commands all men everywhere to change,

riversident@Acts:17:31 @ since he has set a day in which he will soon judge the world in justice by the man whom he has appointed, and of whom he has given evidence to all men by raising him from the dead."

riversident@Acts:17:32 @ When they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some sneered; others said, "We will hear you again about this."

riversident@Acts:17:33 @ So Paul went out from the midst of them.

riversident@Acts:17:34 @ But certain men attached themselves to him and believed. Among them was Dionysius the Areopagite, and there was a woman named Damaris and several other persons.

riversident@Acts:18:3 @ and because he was of the same trade stayed with them and they worked together; for by trade they were tent-makers.

riversident@Acts:18:4 @ But in the synagogue every Sabbath he reasoned and endeavored to persuade both Jews and Greeks.

riversident@Acts:18:5 @ When Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was absorbed by the message, bearing witness to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ.

riversident@Acts:18:6 @ When they resisted and spoke profane words, he rent his garments and said to them, "Your blood is on your own heads. I am clear, and from now on I am going to the Gentiles."

riversident@Acts:18:7 @ So he changed over from there and came into the house of a man named Titus Justus, who reverenced God. His house was next to the synagogue.

riversident@Acts:18:8 @ Crispus, the synagogue Director, believed in the Lord with all his household, and many of the Corinthians when they heard believed and were baptized.

riversident@Acts:18:9 @ The Lord spoke in the night by a vision to Paul,

riversident@Acts:18:11 @ So he stayed a year and six months, teaching among them the message of God.

riversident@Acts:18:12 @ While Gallio was Proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one mind made an attack on Paul and brought him before the court,

riversident@Acts:18:14 @ As Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, "If it was some crime or wicked knavery, O you Jews, I would have reasonable patience with you.

riversident@Acts:18:16 @ and he drove them from before the judge's seat.

riversident@Acts:18:17 @ Then they laid hold of Sosthenes, the synagogue Director, and beat him right in front of the judge's seat. But Gallio cared for none of these things.

riversident@Acts:18:18 @...number of days more. Then after...

riversident@Acts:18:19 @ They came to Ephesus and Paul left his companions there. He himself went into the synagogue and debated with the Jews.

riversident@Acts:18:22 @...and came to Caesarea. Then he...

riversident@Acts:18:23 @ After spending some time there he set out and went through the Galatian country and Phrygia, place by place, strengthening all the disciples.

riversident@Acts:18:25 @ He was strong in knowledge of the Scriptures and had been instructed in the way of the Lord, and, being very earnest in spirit, was teaching accurately about Jesus, although he knew no baptism but John's.

riversident@Acts:18:26 @ This man began to speak fearlessly in the synagogue. When Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him and explained to him the way of God more accurately still.

riversident@Acts:18:27 @ As he wished to cross over to Achaia, the brethren encouraged him and wrote to the disciples to welcome him. So he went and greatly helped those who had believed through grace.

riversident@Acts:18:28 @ For he powerfully and publicly refuted the Jews, showing from the Scriptures that Jesus is the Christ.

riversident@Acts:19:1 @ WHILE Apollos was in Corinth, Paul, after passing through the upper country, came to Ephesus and found certain disciples.

riversident@Acts:19:2 @...Spirit when you believed?" They said...

riversident@Acts:19:4 @ Paul said, "John baptized with the baptism of a change of heart, telling the people to believe in one who was coming after him, that is, in Jesus."

riversident@Acts:19:5 @ On hearing that, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus,

riversident@Acts:19:6 @ and when Paul laid his hands on them the Holy Spirit came on them and they spoke with tongues and prophesied.

riversident@Acts:19:8 @ For three months Paul went into the synagogue and spoke fearlessly, arguing persuasively regarding the kingdom of God.

riversident@Acts:19:9 @ When some were hardened and would not believe and spoke evil of the Way before the congregation, he departed from them and took away his disciples and discussed daily in the lecture-hall of Tyrannus.

riversident@Acts:19:10 @ This went on for two years, so that all the inhabitants of Asia, both Jews and Greeks, heard the message of the Lord.

riversident@Acts:19:11 @ Through the hands of Paul, God did miracles of no ordinary kind,

riversident@Acts:19:12 @ so that handkerchiefs and aprons that had touched his body were carried to the sick, and the diseases left them and the evil spirits departed.

riversident@Acts:19:13 @ Then some of the wandering Jewish exorcists undertook to invoke over those who had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, "I adjure you by Jesus whom Paul proclaims."

riversident@Acts:19:15 @ But the evil spirit answered them, "Jesus I know and Paul I know; but who are you?"

riversident@Acts:19:16 @ and the man in whom the evil spirit was sprang on them and overpowered both of them, and so belabored them that they fled from that house naked and wounded.

riversident@Acts:19:17 @ This became known to all who were living in Ephesus, both Jews and Greeks, and awe fell on all of them, and the name of the Lord Jesus came to be held in high honor.

riversident@Acts:19:19 @ A number of those who had practiced magic brought their books and burned them before all. Adding up the prices of them they found the total to be fifty thousand pieces of silver.

riversident@Acts:19:20 @ Thus vigorously the Lord's message grew and strengthened.

riversident@Acts:19:23 @ At that time there arose no small commotion about the Way.

riversident@Acts:19:24 @ For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, a maker of silver shrines of Artemis, was bringing to the artisans no small gain.

riversident@Acts:19:25 @ He gathered these and the workmen employed about such things and said, "Men, you know that from this business we get our wealth,

riversident@Acts:19:27 @ Not only is this trade of ours in danger of coming into disrepute, but also the temple of the great goddess Artemis is in danger of being held of no account, and she whom now all Asia and the wide world worship will be deposed from her majesty."

riversident@Acts:19:28 @ Upon hearing this, they became full of anger and shouted, "Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!"

riversident@Acts:19:29 @ The city was filled with confusion, and the people rushed with one mind into the theater, having gotten hold of Gaius and Aristarchus, fellow travelers of Paul's.

riversident@Acts:19:30 @ When Paul wished to go in and face the people the disciples would not let him.

riversident@Acts:19:31 @ Some of the city officials who were his friends sent to him and begged him not to expose himself in the theater.

riversident@Acts:19:32 @ Some were shouting one thing and some another, for the assembly was in confusion, and the most did not know why they had come together.

riversident@Acts:19:33 @ Some of the crowd fixed on Alexander, since the Jews were putting him forward. And Alexander motioned with his hand and wished to make a defense before the people.

riversident@Acts:19:34 @ But when they recognized that he was a Jew, there arose one shout from all for about two hours, "Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!"

riversident@Acts:19:35 @ Then the City Clerk quieted the crowd and said, "Men of Ephesus, who is there of all men who does not know that the city of Ephesus is the temple-keeper of the great Artemis, and of her image which fell down from Zeus?

riversident@Acts:19:38 @ If Demetrius and the artisans with him have a charge against any one, there are court days and there are proconsuls; let the parties state their cases.

riversident@Acts:19:41 @ By saying this he dissolved the gathering.

riversident@Acts:20:1 @ WHEN the uproar had ceased, Paul sent for the disciples, and, after encouraging them, he bade them farewell and left to proceed to Macedonia.

riversident@Acts:20:3 @ There he spent three months. When a plot was formed against him by the Jews as he was about to sail for Syria, he decided to return through Macedonia.

riversident@Acts:20:4 @...Pyrrhus, and of the Thessalonians Aristarchus...

riversident@Acts:20:6 @...Troas in five days. There we...

riversident@Acts:20:7 @ On the first day of the week, when we all were assembled to break bread, Paul was discoursing to them, being about to leave in the morning, and he extended his address until midnight.

riversident@Acts:20:8 @ There were many lamps in the upper room where we were assembled.

riversident@Acts:20:9 @ A certain young man named Eutychus, sitting in a window, was overcome with deep sleep while Paul went on discoursing. At last overpowered by sleep he fell from the third story and was taken up dead.

riversident@Acts:20:12 @ They brought the boy living, and were not a little comforted.

riversident@Acts:20:13 @ We went in advance to the ship and sailed for Assos, intending to take on Paul there, for so he had arranged, intending to come himself by land.

riversident@Acts:20:15 @...and arrived off Chios. The next...

riversident@Acts:20:16 @ For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus in order not to spend time in Asia. He was hurrying to be in Jerusalem, if possible, on the Day of Pentecost.

riversident@Acts:20:17 @ From Miletus he sent to Ephesus for the elders of the church.

riversident@Acts:20:18 @ When they came to him, he said to them, "You know how I have lived among you the whole time since the first day I set foot in Asia,

riversident@Acts:21:33 @ Then the Tribune coming up arrested him and ordered him to be bound with two chains, and inquired who he was and what he had done.

riversident@Acts:21:34 @ Some called out one thing and some another in the crowd. Not being able to find out anything for certain on account of the confusion, he ordered Paul to be taken into the barracks.

riversident@Acts:21:35 @ When Paul got upon the stairs, it so happened that he was being carried by the soldiers on account of the violence of the mob.

riversident@Acts:21:36 @ For the crowd of people was following and shouting, "Kill him!"

riversident@Acts:21:37 @ As he was about to enter the barracks Paul said to the Tribune, "May I say something to you?" He replied, "Can you speak Greek?

riversident@Acts:21:38 @ Are you then not the Egyptian who some time ago raised a sedition and led off four thousand assassins into the desert?"

riversident@Acts:22:1 @ "BRETHREN and Fathers, listen to the defense I now make to you."

riversident@Acts:22:2 @ Hearing him speaking to them in the Hebrew language, they kept all the more quiet. He continued:

riversident@Acts:22:3 @ "I am a Jew, born in Tarsus, in Cilicia, but brought up in this city, educated at the feet of Gamaliel in exact knowledge of our ancestral Law, and I was zealous for God as you all are to-day.

riversident@Acts:22:4 @ I persecuted this Way to the death, binding and delivering into prison both men and women,

riversident@Acts:22:5 @ as the High Priest and all the eldership can testify for me. From them I received letters to the brethren and was journeying to Damascus in order to bring back in chains to Jerusalem for punishment those who had gone there.

riversident@Acts:22:7 @ I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me,

riversident@Acts:22:9 @ My companions saw the light, but did not hear the voice of him who spoke to me.

riversident@Acts:22:10 @...shall I do, Lord?' The Lord...

riversident@Acts:22:11 @ Since I could not see, owing to the brightness of that light, my companions led me by the hand, and so I entered Damascus.

riversident@Acts:22:12 @ "Then a man named Ananias, a strict observer of the Law and highly esteemed by all the Jews who lived there,

riversident@Acts:22:14 @ He said, 'The God of our fathers has appointed you to know his will, and to see the Righteous One and to hear the voice from his mouth,

riversident@Acts:22:22 @ They listened up to this point, but now they broke out, shouting, "Away with such a fellow from the earth! He ought never to have lived!"

riversident@Acts:22:23 @ While they were shouting and rending their garments and throwing dust into the air,

riversident@Acts:22:24 @ the Tribune ordered him to be led into the barracks and directed that he should be examined with the lash, so that he might know for what crime they were shouting so against him.

riversident@Acts:22:25 @ When they had tied him up with the thongs, Paul said to the Centurion who was standing by, "Is it lawful for you to scourge a man who is a Roman, and without a trial?"

riversident@Acts:22:26 @ On hearing that, the Centurion went to the Tribune and told him," What are you going to do? For this man is a Roman."

riversident@Acts:22:27 @ Then the Tribune came to him and said, "Tell me; are you a Roman?" He said, "Yes."

riversident@Acts:22:28 @ The Tribune said, "I obtained this citizenship by paying a great sum of money." Paul said, "But I was born to it."

riversident@Acts:22:29 @ At once those who were about to examine him went away from him, and the Tribune was alarmed when he learned that he was a Roman, because he had chained him.

riversident@Acts:22:30 @ On the next day, wishing to know certainly why he was accused by the Jews, the Tribune loosed Paul and ordered the high priests and all the Council to assemble, and brought Paul down and stood him before them.

riversident@Acts:23:1 @ PAUL fixed his eyes on the Council and said, "Brethren, I have conducted myself with all good conscience toward God up to this day."

riversident@Acts:23:2 @ The High Priest Ananias told those who stood near him to strike him on the mouth.

riversident@Acts:23:3 @ Then Paul said to him, "God will soon strike you, you whitewashed wall. Are you sitting to judge me by the Law and yet violating the Law by ordering me to be struck?"

riversident@Acts:23:5 @ Paul said, "I did not know, brethren, that he was High Priest. It is written, 'Thou shalt not speak evil of the Ruler of thy people.' "

riversident@Acts:23:6 @ Then Paul, perceiving that one party was of Sadducees and the other of Pharisees, shouted out in the Council, "Brethren, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees. I am being tried for the hope of the resurrection of the dead."

riversident@Acts:23:7 @ On his saying this, a dissension arose between the Pharisees and Sadducees, and the assembly became divided.

riversident@Acts:23:8 @ For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection nor any angel or spirit, but the Pharisees confess both.

riversident@Acts:23:9 @ So a great uproar arose, and some of the scribes of the party of the Pharisees arose and contended, saying, "We find nothing wrong in this man. What if a spirit has spoken to him, or an angel?"

riversident@Acts:23:10 @ When the strife was becoming violent, the Tribune, fearing that Paul might be torn to pieces by them, ordered the soldiers to go down and take him from the midst of them and bring him into the barracks.

riversident@Acts:23:11 @ On the following night the Lord stood beside Paul and said,

riversident@Acts:23:12 @ When it was day, the Jews made a conspiracy and bound themselves by an oath not to eat or drink until they had killed Paul.

riversident@Acts:23:14 @ They came to the high priests and elders and said, "We have bound ourselves by an oath to taste nothing until we have killed Paul.

riversident@Acts:23:15 @ Now therefore you and the Council must ask the Tribune to bring him down to you, as if you were going to inquire more exactly about him, and we, before he comes near, will be ready to put him out of the way."

riversident@Acts:23:16 @ But the son of Paul's sister heard of the ambush, and he came and entered the barracks and told Paul.

riversident@Acts:23:17 @ Paul called to him one of the centurions and said, "Take this young man to the Tribune, for he has something to tell him."

riversident@Acts:23:18 @ He took him and led him to the Tribune and said, "Paul, the prisoner, called me and asked me to bring this young man to you. He has something to say to you."

riversident@Acts:23:19 @ The Tribune took him by the hand and led him aside and asked, "What is it that you have to tell me?"

riversident@Acts:23:20 @ He said, "The Jews have agreed to ask you to bring Paul down to-morrow to the Council to inquire something more exactly about him.

riversident@Acts:23:22 @ The Tribune dismissed the young man after charging him; "Tell no one that you have revealed this to me."

riversident@Acts:23:23 @ Then calling to him two of the centurions he said, "Prepare two hundred soldiers to go to Caesarea, and seventy horsemen and two hundred spearmen, at nine o'clock to-night."

riversident@Acts:23:24 @ They were to provide animals for Paul to ride and take him safely to Felix the Governor.

riversident@Acts:23:25 @ He wrote a letter in the following form:

riversident@Acts:23:27 @ This man was seized by the Jews and was about to be killed by them when I came up with soldiers and rescued him, having learned that he was a Roman.

riversident@Acts:23:28 @ Wishing to find what was the charge that they had against him I took him down to their Council.

riversident@Acts:23:30 @ Information has come to me that there will be a plot against the man, and so I am sending him at once to you, and I have commanded his accusers to state their case against him before you."

riversident@Acts:23:31 @ So the soldiers, according to their orders, took Paul and conducted him by night to Antipatris.

riversident@Acts:23:32 @ On the next day they let the horsemen go on with him, but they themselves returned to the barracks.

riversident@Acts:23:33 @ The horsemen came on to Caesarea and delivered the letter to the Governor, and also placed Paul before him.

riversident@Acts:23:34 @ He read the letter and asked of what province he was, and learned that he was from Cilicia.

riversident@Acts:24:1 @ AFTER five days the High Priest Ananias came down with certain elders and an advocate named Tertullus, and they spoke against Paul to the Governor.

riversident@Acts:24:5 @ We have found this man a pest and an inciter of sedition among all the Jews throughout the world, and a leader of the sect of the Nazarenes.

riversident@Acts:24:6 @ He even tried to desecrate the Temple courts, but we overpowered him.

riversident@Acts:24:9 @ The Jews joined in the attack upon him, affirming that these things were so.

riversident@Acts:24:10 @ Paul answered, when the Governor nodded to him to speak, "Because I know that for many years you have been a judge to this nation, I feel courage in defending myself.

riversident@Acts:24:12 @ Neither did they find me discussing with any one in the Temple courts nor making any tumultuous gatherings in the synagogues nor anywhere in the city,

riversident@Acts:24:14 @ "This I do confess to you, that in the Way which they call a heresy I worship the God of our fathers, believing all things that are according to the Law and what is written in the Prophets

riversident@Acts:24:21 @ unless it was in the single assertion that I shouted as I stood among them, 'It is regarding the resurrection of the dead that I am on trial to-day before you!' "

riversident@Acts:24:22 @ Felix adjourned the case, since he was well informed regarding the Way, saying, "When Lysias the Tribune comes down, I will inquire into your matters."

riversident@Acts:24:23 @ He gave orders to the Centurion to guard him, but to let him have indulgence, and not to hinder any of his friends from attending to his wants.

riversident@Acts:24:25 @ While Paul was reasoning about righteousness and self-discipline and the judgment that is to come, Felix became alarmed and said," Go for the present. When I find a convenient time I will send for you."

riversident@Acts:24:26 @ At the same time he was in hopes that money would be given him by Paul and therefore he used to send for him more frequently and converse with him.

riversident@Acts:24:27 @ But at the end of two years Felix received Porcius Festus as a successor, and, wishing to do the Jews a favor, he left Paul in chains.

riversident@Acts:25:1 @ FESTUS entered the province and after three days went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea.

riversident@Acts:25:2 @ There the high priests and the leaders of the Jews spoke to him against Paul

riversident@Acts:25:3 @ and begged as a favor that he would send for him to Jerusalem, intending to have an ambush and kill him on the road.

riversident@Acts:25:5 @ "Let those of you who can," he said, "go down with me, and, if there is anything wrong about the man, let them bring their charges against him."

riversident@Acts:25:6 @ After spending not more than eight or ten days among them, he went down to Caesarea and on the next day took his seat on the judge's bench and ordered Paul to be brought in.

riversident@Acts:25:7 @ When he had come in, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood around him and brought many serious charges, which they were unable to prove,

riversident@Acts:25:8 @ while Paul claimed in his own defense, "Neither against the Jewish Law nor against the Temple courts nor against Caesar, have I committed any wrong."

riversident@Acts:25:9 @ Festus, wishing to gain favor with the Jews, asked Paul, "Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem and there be tried for this before me?"

riversident@Acts:25:11 @ If I am in the wrong and have committed anything worthy of death, I do not ask not to die. But if there is nothing in the accusations of these men, no one has the power to give me up to them. I appeal to Caesar."

riversident@Acts:25:13 @ When some days had passed, Agrippa the King and Bernice came to Caesarea to pay their respects to Festus.

riversident@Acts:25:14 @ As they were spending a good many days there, Festus laid Paul's case before the King. "There is a man here," he said, "who was left a prisoner by Felix,

riversident@Acts:25:15 @ against whom when I was in Jerusalem the high priests and the elders of the Jews had much to say, asking to have him condemned.

riversident@Acts:25:16 @ I answered them that it is not the custom of the Romans to give up any person for punishment before the accused has his accusers face to face and has opportunity for defense against the charge.

riversident@Acts:25:17 @ "So they came along down here and, without making any delay, on the very next day I took my seat on the judge's bench and ordered the man to be brought in.

riversident@Acts:25:20 @ Being at a loss about a question of this kind, I asked if he would be willing to go to Jerusalem and be tried there on the charges.

riversident@Acts:25:21 @ But when Paul appealed to be kept for the examination of the Emperor, I ordered him to be kept until I could send him to Caesar."

riversident@Acts:25:22 @ Agrippa said to Festus, "I should like to hear the man myself." "To-morrow," he replied, "you shall hear him."

riversident@Acts:25:23 @ So on the next day Agrippa came and Bernice with much display, and they entered the auditorium with the military tribunes and the principal men of the city, and at Festus' command Paul was led in.

riversident@Acts:25:24 @ Festus said, "King Agrippa and all present here with us, you see this man against whom all the multitude of the Jews pleaded with me, both in Jerusalem and here, crying out that he ought not to live any longer.

riversident@Acts:25:25 @ But I understood that he had done nothing worthy of death, and when he himself had appealed to the Emperor, I decided to send him.

riversident@Acts:25:27 @ For it seems to me unreasonable in sending a prisoner not to specify the charges against him."

riversident@Acts:26:2 @ "In regard to all of the things of which I am accused by Jews, King Agrippa, I consider myself fortunate that I am to make my defense to-day before you,

riversident@Acts:26:4 @ "My life from boyhood, which was from the beginning among my own nation and in Jerusalem, all Jews know.

riversident@Acts:26:5 @ They knew me from long ago, if they were willing to testify, and that according to the strictest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee.

riversident@Acts:26:6 @ And now I stand to be tried for the hope of the promise which God made to our fathers,

riversident@Acts:26:7 @ to which our twelve tribes devotedly serving God night and day hope to attain. For this hope I am accused by the Jews, O King.

riversident@Acts:26:9 @ I thought with myself that I ought to do much against the name of Jesus the Nazarene.

riversident@Acts:26:10 @ And I did it in Jerusalem and many holy men I shut up in prison, getting authority from the high priests, and when they were put to death I gave my vote against them.

riversident@Acts:26:11 @ In all the synagogues and often I punished them and compelled them to say profane words. Being excessively mad against them, I pursued them even to foreign cities.

riversident@Acts:26:12 @ "Thus engaged, as I was journeying to Damascus with authority and commission from the high priests,

riversident@Acts:26:13 @ about midday, on the road, I saw, O King, a light above the brightness of the sun shining from heaven around me and my companions.

riversident@Acts:26:14 @ We all fell to the ground and I heard a voice saying to me in Hebrew,

riversident@Acts:26:19 @ After that, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision,

riversident@Acts:26:20 @ but first to the people in Damascus and then to the people of Jerusalem and through all the land of Judaea and to the Gentiles, I proclaimed that they should repent and turn to God and do deeds suitable for a change of heart.

riversident@Acts:26:21 @ "For this reason Jews seized me in the Temple courts and tried to kill me.

riversident@Acts:26:22 @ But obtaining help from God I have continued until this day witnessing to small and great, saying nothing but what the prophets and Moses said would be,

riversident@Acts:26:23 @ that the Christ would suffer and that he first, by rising from the dead, would proclaim light to our people and to the Gentiles."

riversident@Acts:26:26 @ The King knows about this, and to him I speak with perfect frankness, for I am persuaded that not one of these things has escaped his attention, for this has not been done in a corner.

riversident@Acts:26:27 @ King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know that you believe them."

riversident@Acts:26:30 @ Then the King rose and the Governor and Bernice and those who had been sitting with them,

riversident@Acts:27:2 @...Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, was...

riversident@Acts:27:3 @ On the next day we reached Sidon, where Julius treated Paul kindly and allowed him to go to see his friends and enjoy their attentions.

riversident@Acts:27:4 @ Putting to sea from there, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus because the winds were contrary.

riversident@Acts:27:5 @ After crossing the sea off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra in Lycia.

riversident@Acts:27:6 @ There the centurion found an Alexandrian ship bound for Italy and put us on board of her.

riversident@Acts:27:8 @ and with difficulty got past it and came to a place called Fair Havens, near which was the city of Lasea.

riversident@Acts:27:9 @ When much time had passed and sailing was now dangerous because it was already after the Fast, Paul addressed them.

riversident@Acts:27:10 @ "Men," he said, "I see that the voyage is going to be rough and with much loss not only of the cargo and the ship but also of our lives."

riversident@Acts:27:11 @ But the Centurion listened more to the sailing master and the ship owner than to what Paul said,

riversident@Acts:27:12 @ and as the harbor was not convenient to winter in, the majority adopted the purpose of sailing away on the chance of being able to reach Phoenix and winter there. Phoenix is a harbor of Crete facing the southwest and the northwest.

riversident@Acts:27:13 @ When the south wind blew softly, thinking that they had secured their purpose, they weighed anchor and coasted along Crete.

riversident@Acts:27:14 @ But before long a hurricane, such as is called Euraquilo, swept down off the land.

riversident@Acts:27:15 @ When the ship was caught and unable to keep her head to the wind, we gave up and let her drive before it.

riversident@Acts:27:16 @ Running under the lee of an island called Cauda, we contrived with difficulty to secure the small boat.

riversident@Acts:27:17 @ When we had got it in, we used ropes to undergird the ship. Fearing that we might get stranded on the Syrtis, they lowered the sail and so drifted.

riversident@Acts:27:18 @ So violently were we battered by the storm that on the next day they lightened the ship

riversident@Acts:27:19 @ and on the third day with their own hands they threw over the ship's tackle.

riversident@Acts:27:21 @ After they had long gone without food, Paul stood up in the midst of them and said, "Men, you ought to have listened to me and not to have sailed away from Crete and met this rough experience and loss.

riversident@Acts:27:22 @ But now I beg you to have courage, for there will be no loss of life of any of you, but only of the ship.

riversident@Acts:27:23 @ For this night an angel of the God whose I am and whom I serve stood by me

riversident@Acts:27:24 @ and said, 'Never fear, Paul! You must stand before Caesar. And now God has granted to you all the men who are sailing with you.'

riversident@Acts:27:27 @ When the fourteenth night came, as we were being driven through the Adriatic, about midnight the sailors surmised that land was getting near.

riversident@Acts:27:29 @ Then fearing that they might run into rocky places, they cast out four anchors from the stern and prayed for day to come.

riversident@Acts:27:30 @ The sailors were intent on escaping from the ship and lowered the small boat into the sea under the pretense of laying out anchors from the bow,

riversident@Acts:27:31 @ but Paul said to the Centurion and the soldiers, "Unless these men stay in the ship, you cannot be saved."

riversident@Acts:27:32 @ Then the soldiers cut the ropes of the small boat and let her fall off.

riversident@Acts:27:33 @ Until day began to dawn, Paul kept urging all to take food. He said, "To-day is the fourteenth day that you have been on the watch fasting, not taking anything.

riversident@Acts:27:34 @ Therefore, I beg you, take some food. For this is for your safety. Not a hair of the head of any one of you is going to perish."

riversident@Acts:27:37 @ We in the ship were in all two hundred and seventy-six souls.

riversident@Acts:27:38 @ After eating heartily, they lightened the ship, throwing over the wheat into the sea.

riversident@Acts:27:39 @ When day came they did not recognize the land, but they observed a bay with a beach. Into this they planned to run the ship if they could.

riversident@Acts:27:40 @ So abandoning the anchors they left them in the sea; at the same time loosening the bands of the steering oars and raising the foresail to the wind, they made for the beach.

riversident@Acts:27:41 @ But falling into a place where there were cross-...ran the ship aground. The bow...

riversident@Acts:27:42 @ The soldiers' advice was to kill the prisoners for fear that some one of them might swim out and escape.

riversident@Acts:27:43 @ But the Centurion, wishing to save Paul, kept them back from their plan. He ordered those who could swim to jump overboard first and get to shore,

riversident@Acts:27:44 @ and the rest to follow, some on boards and some on things from the ship. And so all got safe to land.

riversident@Acts:28:1 @ WHEN we were safe ashore, we found that the island was called Melita.

riversident@Acts:28:2 @ The foreign people showed us uncommon kindness. For they kindled a fire and welcomed us all because of the rain that was falling and the cold.

riversident@Acts:28:3 @ Paul had collected a bundle of sticks and laid it on the fire, when a snake came out of the heat and fastened on his hand.

riversident@Acts:28:4 @ When the foreigners saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to one another, "Certainly this man is a murderer, whom, although he has escaped the sea, Justice does not permit to live."

riversident@Acts:28:5 @ He however shook off the creature into the fire and felt no harm.

riversident@Acts:28:7 @ In the neighborhood of that place were lands belonging to the Governor of the island, whose name was Publius. He welcomed us and for three days hospitably entertained us.

riversident@Acts:28:8 @ It happened that the father of Publius was lying ill with fever and dysentery. Paul went in to see him and prayed and laid his hands on him and healed him.

riversident@Acts:28:9 @ After this happened, the rest in the island who had infirmities came also and were healed.

riversident@Acts:28:11 @ After three months we sailed in a ship that had wintered in the island. She was from Alexandria and her figure-head was the Twin Brothers.

riversident@Acts:28:13 @ From there we came around and got to Rhegium. After one day there, a south wind sprang up and we came on the second day to Puteoli.

riversident@Acts:28:15 @ From there the brethren, when they got news of us, came to meet us as far as the Market of Appius and the Three Taverns. On seeing them Paul thanked God and took courage.

riversident@Acts:28:17 @ After three days he invited the leading men among the Jews, and when they had assembled, he said to them, "Brethren, although I had done nothing against our people or our ancestral customs, I was delivered up as a prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans.

riversident@Acts:28:19 @ But when the Jews spoke against it, I was compelled to appeal to Caesar, not that I have any charge to bring against my own nation.

riversident@Acts:28:20 @ For this reason I have invited you to see me and talk with me; because it is for the sake of the hope of Israel that I have this chain around me."

riversident@Acts:28:21 @ They said to him, "We on our part have received no letters about you from Judaea nor has any one of the brethren come and reported or spoken anything evil of you.

riversident@Acts:28:23 @ They appointed a day for him and many came to him at his lodging. He explained to them, testifying to the kingdom of God, trying to persuade them concerning Jesus from the Law of Moses and from the Prophets, from early morning until evening.

riversident@Romans:2:8 @ But to those of a partisan spirit who do not obey the truth, but obey wickedness, there will be wrath and hot anger.

riversident@Romans:2:9 @ Distress and crushing calamity will fall upon every human soul that works evil, upon the Jew first and also upon the Greek.

riversident@Romans:2:10 @ But glory and honor and peace will come to every one who works good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

riversident@Romans:2:13 @ (for it is not the hearers of law who are righteous before God, but the doers of law are pronounced righteous;

riversident@Romans:2:14 @ for when Gentiles who have no law do by nature what the Law enjoins, these, although they have no law, are a law to themselves;

riversident@Romans:2:15 @ they show the requirements of the Law written in their hearts, since their conscience corroborates it and their thoughts argue in mutual accusation or in self-defense),

riversident@Romans:2:16 @ on the day when God judges the secrets of men through Jesus Christ, as my good news sets forth.

riversident@Romans:2:17 @ But if you bear the name of Jew and rely upon the Law, and make your boast in God

riversident@Romans:2:18 @ and know his will and are a judge of things that differ, because you have been taught out of the Law

riversident@Romans:2:19 @ and are confident that you yourself are a guide of the blind, a light of those who are in darkness,

riversident@Romans:2:20 @ an instructor of the unwise, a teacher of the simple, because you have the form of knowledge and of truth in the Law \'97

riversident@Romans:2:23 @ You who boast of the Law, do you dishonor God by breaking the Law?

riversident@Romans:2:24 @ For "The name of God is reviled among the Gentiles because of you," as it is written.

riversident@Romans:2:25 @ Circumcision has value if you obey the Law. But if you are a breaker of the Law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.

riversident@Romans:2:26 @ If an uncircumcised man keeps the requirements of the Law, shall not his uncircumcision be credited for circumcision?

riversident@Romans:2:27 @ And the natural uncircumcision if it keeps the Law will judge you who with a written code and circumcision are still a law-breaker.

riversident@Romans:2:28 @ For it is not he who is one outwardly that is a Jew, nor is that circumcision which is outward in the flesh.

riversident@Romans:2:29 @ But he who is one secretly is a Jew, and circumcision is of the heart and in the spirit, not in the letter. His praise is not from men, but from God.

riversident@Romans:3:1 @ WHAT then is the advantage of the Jew, or what is the benefit of circumcision?

riversident@Romans:3:2 @ Much in every way. First, they were intrusted with the oracles of God.

riversident@Romans:3:3 @ For what if some were faithless, will their faithlessness prevent the faithfulness of God?

riversident@Romans:3:5 @ But if our unrighteousness shows the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous when he inflicts his wrath? (note:)I am speaking humanly.(:note)

riversident@Romans:3:6 @ Never. If so how can God judge the world?

riversident@Romans:3:7 @ But if the truth of God has become more abundant to his glory through my lie, why am I still condemned as a sinner?

riversident@Romans:3:8 @...may come," are we? The condemnation...

riversident@Romans:3:9 @ What then? Have we an advantage? Not at all. We have already brought the charge against both Jews and Greeks that they are all under sin,

riversident@Romans:3:13 @ Their throat is an open sepulcher; with their tongues they deceive; the poison of asps is under their lips.

riversident@Romans:3:17 @ The path of peace they do not know.

riversident@Romans:3:19 @ We know that all that the Law says, it says to those who are under the Law, that every mouth may be shut and all the world may come under the condemnation of God.

riversident@Romans:3:20 @ Therefore by works of the Law no human being will be pronounced righteous before him. For through the Law comes the knowledge of sin.

riversident@Romans:3:21 @ But now, apart from law, a righteousness of God has been revealed, confirmed by the Law and the Prophets \'97

riversident@Romans:3:23 @ All have sinned and have come short of the glory of God.

riversident@Romans:3:24 @ All are pronounced righteous by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,

riversident@Romans:3:25 @ whom God has set forth as a propitiation by his blood through faith, for the manifestation of his righteousness, because of the passing over of previous sins in the forbearance of God \'97

riversident@Romans:3:26 @ for a manifestation at the present time of his righteousness, that he may himself be righteous and may accept as righteous him who has faith in Jesus.

riversident@Romans:3:27 @ Where then is boasting? It is excluded. By what law? That of works? No, but by the law of faith.

riversident@Romans:3:29 @ Does God belong to the Jews only? Does he not belong also to the Gentiles? Yes, to the Gentiles,

riversident@Romans:3:30 @ if God is one and will pronounce the circumcision righteous by faith and the uncircumcision righteous through faith.

riversident@Romans:3:31 @ Do we then by faith nullify the Law? Never. On the contrary we establish the Law.

riversident@Romans:4:1 @ WHAT then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, experienced?

riversident@Romans:4:3 @ for what says the Scripture? "Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him for righteousness."

riversident@Romans:4:5 @ but to him who does not work, but believes in him who calls the unrighteous man righteous, his faith is credited for righteousness.

riversident@Romans:4:6 @ Just so David speaks of the blessedness of the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works,

riversident@Romans:4:8 @ Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will not charge up to him."

riversident@Romans:4:9 @ Does this blessedness come to the circumcision, or also to the uncircumcision? For we say, "Faith was credited to Abraham for righteousness."

riversident@Romans:4:11 @ And he received the sign of circumcision as a seal of the righteousness of faith that he had in uncircumcision, so that he should be the father of all who believe while uncircumcised, and righteousness should be credited to them;

riversident@Romans:4:12 @ and the father of the circumcised, that is, of those who are not only circumcised, but who walk in the steps of the faith which our father Abraham had while uncircumcised.

riversident@Romans:4:13 @ It was not through the Law that the promise came to Abraham or to his descendants that he should be the heir of the world, but through the righteousness of faith.

riversident@Romans:4:14 @ For if those who are of the Law are heirs, faith is emptied of value and the promise is nullified.

riversident@Romans:4:15 @ For the Law works wrath. But where there is no law, neither is there lawbreaking.

riversident@Romans:4:16 @ Therefore all depends on faith, that it may be of grace, and thus the promise be sure for all his descendants, not only those who are of the Law, but also those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of all of us

riversident@Romans:4:18 @ Abraham, when hope was past, believed in hope so that he became the father of many nations, according to what was said to him, "So shall your descendants be";

riversident@Romans:4:19 @ and without being weakened in faith he recognized his own body as dead, when he was about a hundred years old, and the deadness of Sarah's womb.

riversident@Romans:4:20 @ Still he did not hesitate through want of faith in the promise of God, but was strong in faith, thus giving glory to God,

riversident@Romans:4:24 @ but also for our sake, to whom it will be credited if we believe in him who raised up from the dead Jesus our Lord,

riversident@Romans:5:2 @ Through him we obtained entrance into this grace in which we stand and exult in hope of the glory of God.

riversident@Romans:5:5 @ and hope does not disappoint, for the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit granted to us.

riversident@Romans:5:6 @ For while we were still without strength Christ, at the due time, died for the unrighteous.

riversident@Romans:5:10 @ For if while enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.

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

riversident@Romans:5:12 @ Therefore as through one man sin entered the world, and through sin death entered, and so death spread to all men, since all sinned \'97

riversident@Romans:5:13 @ for down to the time of the Law sin was in the world, and yet sin is not charged where there is no law;

riversident@Romans:5:14 @ but death reigned from Adam to Moses even over those who had not sinned like Adam, who is the type of him who was coming.

riversident@Romans:5:15 @ But the gracious gift is not like the fall. For if by the fall of the one the many sinned, much more did the grace of God and the free gift by the grace of the one man Jesus Christ abound to the many.

riversident@Romans:5:16 @ And the free gift was not like the sentence that came through one who sinned; for the sentence came from one fall for condemnation, but the free gift was that men should be called righteous in spite of many falls.

riversident@Romans:5:17 @ For if by the fall of one man death reigned through that one, much more those who receive the abounding grace and the free gift of righteousness will reign in life through one, that is, through Jesus Christ.

riversident@Romans:5:18 @ As then through one fall sentence came upon all men and they were condemned; so through one righteous act the free gift came to all men so that they are pronounced righteous and live.

riversident@Romans:5:19 @ For as by the disobedience of the one man the many were set down as sinners, so by the obedience of the one the many will be set down as righteous.

riversident@Romans:5:20 @ But law came in alongside that the fall might be greater; but where sin became greater grace became greater still,

riversident@Romans:6:4 @ We were buried with him by baptism into death, in order that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life.

riversident@Romans:6:5 @ For if we have grown into union with him by the likeness of his death, surely we shall be united with him by the likeness of his resurrection.

riversident@Romans:6:6 @ For we know this, that our old-time humanity was crucified with him, in order that the sinful body might be made powerless, that we might no longer be slaves of sin.

riversident@Romans:6:9 @ knowing that Christ, after being raised from the dead, dies no more; death no more reigns over him.

riversident@Romans:6:10 @ For the death that he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life that he lives, he lives to God.

riversident@Romans:6:13 @ and do not yield your members to sin as the instruments of wickedness; but present yourselves to God as men once dead, but now living, and yield your members to God as the instruments of righteousness.

riversident@Romans:6:16 @ Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves as servants intending obedience, you are the servants of the one you obey, whether of sin, resulting in death, or of obedience, resulting in righteousness?

riversident@Romans:6:17 @ Thanks be to God that though you were slaves of sin you became obedient from the heart to the type of teaching in which you were instructed.

riversident@Romans:6:19 @ I am speaking humanly on account of the weakness of your human nature. As you did present your members as servants to impurity and to lawlessness to do lawlessness, so now you have presented your members as servants to righteousness for holy living.

riversident@Romans:6:21 @ What fruit did you have then? Fruit of which you are now ashamed; for the end of those things is death.

riversident@Romans:6:23 @ For the wages of sin is death, but the gracious gift of God is life eternal in Christ Jesus our Lord.

riversident@Romans:7:1 @ ARE you ignorant, brethren, for I am speaking to those who know law, that the Law rules over a person while he is living?

riversident@Romans:7:2 @ For a married woman is by law bound to her husband while he is living. But if the husband dies, she is freed from the law of her husband.

riversident@Romans:7:3 @ Therefore while her husband is living she is called an adulteress if she becomes another man's. But if her husband dies she is free from the law, so that she is not an adulteress when she becomes another man's.

riversident@Romans:7:4 @ So, my brethren, you were made dead to the Law through the body of Christ, that you might become wedded to another, to him who was raised from the dead, that we might bear fruit to God.

riversident@Romans:7:5 @ For when we were in the flesh the sinful passions that arise through the Law were active in our members, so that we bore fruit to death.

riversident@Romans:7:6 @ But now the Law has been made inoperative on us, since we have died to that by which we were held, so that we serve in newness of the spirit and not in oldness of the letter.

riversident@Romans:7:7 @ What shall we say then? Is the Law sin? Never. But I should not have come to know sin except through the Law. I should not have known lust if the Law had not said, "Thou shalt not lust."

riversident@Romans:7:8 @ Sin, taking occasion through the commandment, worked in me every lust. For apart from the Law sin is dead.

riversident@Romans:7:9 @ I was living once, apart from law. But when the commandment came, sin began to live and I died,

riversident@Romans:7:10 @ and the commandment which meant life was found to mean death.

riversident@Romans:7:11 @ For sin, taking occasion through the commandment, deceived me and by it killed me.

riversident@Romans:7:12 @ So the Law is holy and the commandment is holy and just and good.

riversident@Romans:7:13 @ Did then what is good become death to me? Never. But sin, that it might appear sin, worked death in me through the good, in order that it might become beyond measure sinful.

riversident@Romans:7:14 @ For we know that the Law is spiritual; but I am fleshly, sold under sin.

riversident@Romans:7:16 @ But if I do what I do not choose, I agree with the law that it is right.

riversident@Romans:7:17 @ And now it is no longer I that do it, but the Sin that dwells in me.

riversident@Romans:7:21 @ I find then this rule, when I choose to do the right, that evil is present with me.

riversident@Romans:7:22 @ I delight in the Law in my inner man,

riversident@Romans:7:23 @ but I see another law in my members, warring with the law of my mind and leading me captive under the law of sin which is in my members.

riversident@Romans:7:25 @ Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then I myself with my mind serve the Law of God, but with my flesh the law of sin.

riversident@Romans:8:2 @ For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has freed you from the Law of sin and death.

riversident@Romans:8:3 @ For, what was impossible for the Law, because it was weak through the flesh \'97 God, sending his own Son in the form of sinful flesh and for sin, condemned the sin that is in the flesh,

riversident@Romans:8:4 @ so that the righteousness required by the Law might be fulfilled in us who live not according to the flesh, but according to the spirit.

riversident@Romans:8:5 @ For those who are living according to the flesh have their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who are living according to the spirit have their minds on the things of the spirit.

riversident@Romans:8:7 @ Therefore fleshly mindedness is hostile to God; for it is not subject to the Law of God, nor can it be.

riversident@Romans:8:8 @ Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

riversident@Romans:8:9 @ But you are not in the flesh, but in the spirit, if the Spirit of God dwells in you. If any one has not the Spirit of Christ, that man is not his.

riversident@Romans:8:10 @ If Christ is in you the body is dead because of sin, but the spirit is life because of righteousness.

riversident@Romans:8:11 @ If the Spirit of him who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised up Christ Jesus from the dead gives life even to your mortal bodies, through his indwelling Spirit in you.

riversident@Romans:8:12 @ So then, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh to live according to the flesh;

riversident@Romans:8:13 @ for if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the practices of the body, you will live.

riversident@Romans:8:14 @ For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

riversident@Romans:8:16 @ The Spirit itself witnesses with our spirits that we are children of God.

riversident@Romans:8:18 @ For I estimate that the sufferings of this present time amount to nothing in comparison with the glory that is to be revealed for us.

riversident@Romans:8:19 @ For the earnest expectation of the creation is waiting for the revelation of the sons of God.

riversident@Romans:8:20 @ For the creation was made subject to folly not willingly, but for the sake of him who subjected it, in hope,

riversident@Romans:8:21 @ because the creation itself will be freed from the slavery of decay into the glorious freedom of the children of God.

riversident@Romans:8:22 @ For we know that all the creation groans in the pangs of childbirth until now.

riversident@Romans:8:23 @ And not the creation alone, but we ourselves also who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, groan within ourselves in expectation of the sonship, the liberation of our bodies.

riversident@Romans:8:26 @ Thus also the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit itself intercedes for us with sighs beyond words.

riversident@Romans:8:27 @ And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because he intercedes for the holy according to the will of God.

riversident@Romans:8:29 @ For those whom he foreknew he also predetermined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the first-born among many brethren.

riversident@Romans:8:34 @ Who is there to condemn? Christ Jesus died, or rather was raised, and he is on the right hand of God interceding for us.

riversident@Romans:8:37 @ On the contrary, in all these we more than conquer through him who loved us.

riversident@Romans:9:1 @ I AM speaking the truth in Christ; I am saying nothing false; my conscience bears witness with me in the Holy Spirit

riversident@Romans:9:3 @ For I could wish myself to be accursed and cast away from Christ for the sake of my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh,

riversident@Romans:9:4 @ who are Israelites, whose is the sonship and the glory and the covenants and the reception of the law and the worship and the promises;

riversident@Romans:9:5 @ whose are the fathers and from whom by physical descent the Christ came. God who is over all be blessed through the ages! Amen.

riversident@Romans:9:8 @ That is, not the physical descendants are children, but the children of the promise are counted for descendants.

riversident@Romans:9:9 @ For the wording of the promise was, "At this time next year I will come and Sarah shall have a son."

riversident@Romans:9:11 @ though the same man was father of both children and they were not yet born and had done nothing good or bad, in order that the purpose of God according to his choice might stand, not according to their works, but according to his call,

riversident@Romans:9:12 @ it was said to her, "The older shall serve the younger."

riversident@Romans:9:13 @ In the same way it is written, "Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated."

riversident@Romans:9:16 @ So then it is not a question of the man who wills or who runs, but of God who shows mercy.

riversident@Romans:9:17 @ For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, "For this very purpose I raised you up in order to show my power upon you and to have my name proclaimed in all the earth."

riversident@Romans:9:20 @ But who are you, O man, who are answering back to God? Does the thing that is moulded say to the moulder, "Why have you made me so?"

riversident@Romans:9:21 @ Has not the potter the right to make from the same lump of clay one vessel for honor and another for dishonor?

riversident@Romans:9:22 @ What if God, choosing to exhibit his wrath and to make known what he can do, bore in long patience the vessels of wrath made for destruction,

riversident@Romans:9:23 @ and in order to make known the richness of his glory upon the vessels of mercy which he had prepared for glory

riversident@Romans:9:24 @ called us not only from the Jews but also from the Gentiles?

riversident@Romans:9:26 @ and in the place where it was said to them, 'You are not my people,' there they shall be called sons of the living God."

riversident@Romans:9:27 @ Isaiah cried aloud regarding Israel, "Though the number of the sons of Israel is as the sand of the sea, only a remnant will be saved.

riversident@Romans:9:28 @ For the Lord will execute his sentence on the earth completely and speedily."

riversident@Romans:9:29 @ Even as Isaiah predicted, "Unless the Lord of armies had left us some descendants, we should have become like Sodom and should have been made to resemble Gomorrah."

riversident@Romans:9:30 @ What shall we say then? That Gentiles who did not pursue righteousness obtained righteousness, the righteousness of faith,

riversident@Romans:9:31 @ but Israel pursuing after the Law of righteousness did not attain to the Law.

riversident@Romans:10:1 @ BRETHREN, the desire of my heart and my prayer to God for them is for their salvation.

riversident@Romans:10:4 @ For Christ is the end of the Law for righteousness to every believer.

riversident@Romans:10:5 @ For Moses writes that he who does the righteousness of the Law shall live by it.

riversident@Romans:10:6 @ But the righteousness of faith says, "Do not say in your heart, 'Who shall ascend into heaven?' that is, to bring Christ down \'97 "

riversident@Romans:10:7 @ or, 'Who shall descend into the abyss?' " \'97 that is, to bring up Christ from the dead.

riversident@Romans:10:8 @ But what does it say? "The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart" \'97 that is, the word of faith which we are proclaiming,

riversident@Romans:10:9 @ that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead you will be saved.

riversident@Romans:10:10 @ For with the heart a man believes and becomes righteous, and with the mouth he confesses and attains salvation.

riversident@Romans:10:11 @ For the Scripture says, "No one who believes in him will be put to shame."

riversident@Romans:10:12 @ For there is no difference between Jew and Greek. For there is the same Lord of all, rich toward all who call upon him.

riversident@Romans:10:13 @ For "Every one who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."

riversident@Romans:10:15 @ How shall they proclaim him unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!"

riversident@Romans:10:16 @ But have not all heard the good news? For Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed our report?"

riversident@Romans:10:17 @ So then faith comes from the report and report comes through the word of Christ.

riversident@Romans:10:18 @ But I say, it cannot be true that they have not heard, can it? On the contrary, "Their sound has gone out into all the earth and their words to the ends of the world."

riversident@Romans:11:1 @ I SAY then, can it be that God has repudiated his people? Never. For I am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

riversident@Romans:11:2 @ God has not repudiated his people whom he foreknew. Do you not know what the Scripture says in the story of Elijah, how he prays to God against Israel?

riversident@Romans:11:4 @ But what was the divine response? "I have left to myself seven thousand men who have not knelt to Baal."

riversident@Romans:11:7 @ What then? Israel has not found what it is seeking, but the chosen have found it. And the rest have been made dull,

riversident@Romans:11:11 @ I say, then, have they stumbled just in order that they may fall? Never. But by their fall salvation comes to the Gentiles so as to arouse the emulation of the Jews.

riversident@Romans:11:12 @ If their fall is the riches of the world and their loss the riches of the Gentiles, how much more will their full restoration be!

riversident@Romans:11:15 @ if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world, what will their welcome back be but life from the dead?

riversident@Romans:11:16 @ If the first fruit was holy, so will the mass be; and if the root was holy, so will be the branches.

riversident@Romans:11:17 @ If some of the branches were broken off and you, who are a wild olive, were grafted in among them and became a sharer in the root and rich sap of the olive,

riversident@Romans:11:18 @ do not exult over the branches. Even though you exult, it is not you who are supporting the root, but the root is supporting you.

riversident@Romans:11:21 @ For if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you.

riversident@Romans:11:22 @ See the kindness and the rigor of God, toward those who fell rigor, but toward you God's kindness, if you continue in his kindness, else you too will be cut off.

riversident@Romans:11:24 @ For God is able to graft them back. For if you were cut from your natural stock, a wild olive tree, and were grafted, contrary to nature, into a good olive tree, how much more will the natural branches be grafted into their own olive tree!

riversident@Romans:11:25 @ I would not have you ignorant, brethren, of this mystery, that you may not be self-conceited, because stupidity in a measure has come upon Israel until the full number of Gentiles comes in,

riversident@Romans:11:26 @ and thus all Israel will be saved, as it is written, "From Zion will come the deliverer. He will remove ungodliness from Jacob.

riversident@Romans:13:8 @ Owe no one anything, except to love one another. He who loves the other has fulfilled the Law.

riversident@Romans:13:9 @ For the commandments, "Thou shalt not commit adultery," "Thou shalt not commit murder," "Thou shalt not steal," "Thou shalt not covet," and any other that there may be, are summed up in this: "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself."

riversident@Romans:14:6 @ He who regards the day regards it to the Lord and he who eats eats to the Lord, for he gives thanks to God. And he who does not eat abstains for the Lord and gives thanks to God.

riversident@Romans:14:8 @ If we live we live for the Lord and if we die we die for the Lord. So whether we live or die we are the Lord's.

riversident@Romans:14:9 @ For to this end Christ died and lived again, in order that he might be Lord both of the dead and of the living.

riversident@Romans:14:10 @ But you, why do you judge your brother? Or you, why do you treat your brother with contempt? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of God.

riversident@Romans:14:11 @ For it is written, "As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bend to me and every tongue shall confess to God."

riversident@Romans:14:14 @ I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is defiling in itself. But to one who thinks anything to be defiling it is defiling.

riversident@Romans:14:17 @ For the kingdom of God is not food and drink, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

riversident@Romans:14:20 @ Do not for the sake of food break down the work of God. All things are pure, but anything is evil to the man who eats it with a feeling of doing wrong.

riversident@Romans:14:22 @ The faith that you have, have to yourself before God. Blessed is the man who does not condemn himself for what he allows himself.

riversident@Romans:15:1 @ WE who are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

riversident@Romans:15:4 @ All that was written of old was written for our instruction, in order that by patience and by the encouragement of the Scriptures we may have hope.

riversident@Romans:15:5 @ May the God of patience and encouragement grant to you to have harmony with one another, in the manner of Christ Jesus,

riversident@Romans:15:6 @ so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

riversident@Romans:15:7 @ Therefore, welcome one another as Christ welcomed us, to the glory of God.

riversident@Romans:15:8 @ For I say that Christ became a servant of circumcision for the sake of God's truth, in order to confirm the promises given to the fathers

riversident@Romans:15:9 @ and that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy, as it is written, "For this will I confess thee among the Gentiles and sing to thy name."

riversident@Romans:15:11 @ And again, "Sing to the Lord, all Gentiles, and let all the peoples praise him."

riversident@Romans:15:13 @ May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope through the power of the Holy Spirit!

riversident@Romans:15:15 @ But I have written rather boldly to you, partly to remind you, because of the grace given to me from God,

riversident@Romans:15:16 @ that I may be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles, in priestly service of the good news of God, in order that the offering of the Gentiles may be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

riversident@Romans:15:19 @ through the power of signs and wonders, by the power of the Holy Spirit, so that from Jerusalem around to Illyricum, I have fully proclaimed the good news of Christ,

riversident@Romans:15:20 @ being ambitious to tell the good news where Christ has not been named, so that I might not build on any other man's foundation,

riversident@Romans:15:25 @ But now I am on my way to Jerusalem to render service to the holy.

riversident@Romans:15:26 @ For Macedonia and Achaia have been pleased to make a contribution for the poor among the holy in Jerusalem.

riversident@Romans:15:27 @ They have been pleased to do this and indeed they are indebted to them. For if the Gentiles have shared their things of the spirit, they owe them sacred service in things of the body.

riversident@Romans:15:29 @ And I know that when I come to you it will be in the fullness of the blessing of Christ.

riversident@Romans:15:30 @ I beg you, brethren, for the sake of our Lord Jesus and the love of the Spirit to join me in wrestling in prayer to God on my behalf,

riversident@Romans:15:31 @ that I may be delivered from the unbelievers in Judaea and that my service in Jerusalem may be pleasing to the holy,

riversident@Romans:15:32 @ that I may come to you with joy by the will of God and be refreshed with you.

riversident@Romans:15:33 @ The God of peace be with all of you! Amen.

riversident@Romans:16:1 @ I COMMEND to you our sister Phoebe, a servant of the church in Cenchreae,

riversident@Romans:16:2 @ that you may receive her in the Lord in a way worthy of the holy, and help her in any matter in which she may need you. For she has been a provider for many, myself included.

riversident@Romans:16:4 @ who for my life risked their own necks, to whom not I alone give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles.

riversident@Romans:16:5 @ Give my greetings also to the church in their house. Give my greetings to Epaenetus my beloved, who is the first-fruit of Asia for Christ.

riversident@Romans:16:7 @ Give my greetings to Andronicus and Junias, men of my race and my companions in prison, who are eminent among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me.

riversident@Romans:16:8 @ Give my greetings to Ampliatus my beloved in the Lord.

riversident@Romans:16:10 @ Give my greetings to Apelles, that tested man in Christ. Give my greetings to the household of Aristobulus.

riversident@Romans:16:11 @ Give my greetings to Herodion, who is of my race. Give my greetings to those of the household of Narcissus who are in the Lord.

riversident@Romans:16:12 @ Give my greetings to Tryphaena and Tryphosa, those workers in the Lord. Give my greetings to Persis the beloved, who has worked hard in the Lord.

riversident@Romans:16:13 @ Give my greetings to Rufus the chosen in the Lord, and to his mother and mine.

riversident@Romans:16:14 @ Give my greetings to Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Petrobas, Hermas, and the brethren with them.

riversident@Romans:16:15 @ Give my greetings to Philologus, and Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas, and all the holy with them.

riversident@Romans:16:16 @ Give my greetings to one another with a holy kiss. All the churches of Christ send their greetings to you.

riversident@Romans:16:17 @ I beg you, brethren, to keep your eye on those who are making divisions and occasions for sin contrary to the teaching which you have learned, and to shun them.

riversident@Romans:16:18 @ For such persons are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own stomachs, and by their smooth and pleasing talk they mislead the hearts of the innocent.

riversident@Romans:16:19 @...knowledge of all men. Therefore I...

riversident@Romans:16:20 @...under your feet shortly. The grace...

riversident@Romans:16:22 @ I, Tertius, who penned this letter, greet you in the Lord.

riversident@Romans:16:23 @ Gaius, my host and the host of the whole church, sends his greetings. Erastus the city treasurer sends his greetings, and so does Quartus the brother.

riversident@Romans:16:25 @ To him who is able to make you strong according to the good news which I bear, and the proclamation of Jesus Christ, and according to the revelation of the mystery kept secret through ages,

riversident@Romans:16:26 @ but now made manifest through the prophetic Scriptures by the command of the eternal God, to promote obedience to the faith made known to all the Gentiles \'97

riversident@Romans:16:27 @ to God, the only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for the ages of the ages!

riversident@1Corinthians:1:1 @ PAUL called by the will of God to be an apostle of Christ Jesus, and Sosthenes our brother,

riversident@1Corinthians:1:2 @ to the Church of God in Corinth, made holy in Christ Jesus, called to be holy, with all everywhere who call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours:

riversident@1Corinthians:1:3 @ Grace to you and peace from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ!

riversident@1Corinthians:1:4 @ I am always thanking God for you because of the grace of God given to you in Christ Jesus,

riversident@1Corinthians:1:8 @ He will keep you strong to the end and free from reproach on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

riversident@1Corinthians:1:9 @ God is faithful, and it is by him that you have been called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

riversident@1Corinthians:1:10 @ I beg you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, all to say the same thing and not to have divisions among you, but to be united in the same mind and in the same opinion.

riversident@1Corinthians:1:13 @ Has Christ been divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?

riversident@1Corinthians:1:16 @ I baptized also the household of Stephanas. Beyond that I do not know that I baptized any one else.

riversident@1Corinthians:1:17 @ For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to proclaim the good news \'97 not in wisdom of words, that the cross of Christ might not be emptied of meaning.

riversident@1Corinthians:1:18 @ For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

riversident@1Corinthians:1:19 @ For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise and I will bring to nought the prudence of the prudent."

riversident@1Corinthians:1:20 @ Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this world? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?

riversident@1Corinthians:1:21 @ For when in the wisdom of God the world by its wisdom did not come to know God, God was pleased to save through the foolishness of our proclamation those who believe.

riversident@1Corinthians:1:24 @ but to those who are called, whether Jews or Greeks, Christ, the power of God and the wisdom of God.

riversident@1Corinthians:1:27 @ But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the strong,

riversident@1Corinthians:1:28 @ and God has chosen the low-born things and the things of no account, the things that are not, to defeat the things that are,

riversident@1Corinthians:1:31 @ so that, as it is written, "Let him who boasts boast in the Lord."

riversident@1Corinthians:2:1 @ AND I in coming to you, brethren, did not come with superiority of speech or of wisdom, announcing to you the testimony of God.

riversident@1Corinthians:2:5 @ that your faith might not depend on the wisdom of man but on the power of God.

riversident@1Corinthians:2:6 @ We do speak wisdom among the mature, but a wisdom not of this world nor of the defeated rulers of this world.

riversident@1Corinthians:2:7 @ But we speak a wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God predestined before the world began for our glory.

riversident@1Corinthians:2:8 @ None of the rulers of this world knew it, for if they had known it they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

riversident@1Corinthians:2:10 @ To us God has revealed this by his Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God.

riversident@1Corinthians:2:11 @ For who of men knows what pertains to a man except the spirit of the man which is in him. Just so no one knows what pertains to God except the Spirit of God.

riversident@1Corinthians:2:12 @ But we did not receive the spirit of the world, but the Spirit that is from God, so that we know the gracious gifts of God.

riversident@1Corinthians:2:13 @ And these we speak of, not in words taught by man's wisdom, but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual things in spiritual words.

riversident@1Corinthians:2:14 @ But the animal man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, nor can he know them because they are spiritually understood.

riversident@1Corinthians:2:15 @ But the spiritual man understands all things though he himself is understood by no one.

riversident@1Corinthians:2:16 @ For "Who has known the mind of the Lord? Who will teach him?" But we have the mind of Christ.

riversident@1Corinthians:3:5 @ What then is Apollos? What is Paul? Servants through whom you were led to faith, as the Lord granted to each of us.

riversident@1Corinthians:3:6 @ I planted, Apollos watered, but God made the seed grow.

riversident@1Corinthians:3:7 @ So then neither is he who planted anything nor he who watered, but God who makes the seed grow.

riversident@1Corinthians:3:10 @ According to the grace of God granted to me, as a wise master-builder I have laid a foundation and another is building on it. But let each be careful how he builds on it.

riversident@1Corinthians:3:13 @ every one's work will become manifest. For the day will show it, because it will be revealed in fire and the fire will test each one's work, of what quality it is.

riversident@1Corinthians:3:14 @ If the work which any one has built stands he will get a reward.

riversident@1Corinthians:3:16 @ Do you not know that you are God's temple and the Spirit of God dwells in you?

riversident@1Corinthians:3:17 @ If any one mars the temple of God, God will mar him, for the temple of God is holy, and you are the temple.

riversident@1Corinthians:3:19 @ For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God's sight. For it is written, "He catches the wise in their own craftiness,"

riversident@1Corinthians:3:20 @ and again, "The Lord knows the reasonings of the wise to be futile."

riversident@1Corinthians:3:22 @ Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or things present or things to come \'97 all are yours

riversident@1Corinthians:4:2 @ Moreover, in the case of stewards it is required that a man be found faithful.

riversident@1Corinthians:4:4 @...that to be faultless. The Lord...

riversident@1Corinthians:4:5 @...the purposes of hearts. Then each...

riversident@1Corinthians:4:6 @ All this, brethren, I have applied to myself and Apollos for your sake, that you may learn the maxim, "Nothing beyond what is written," and may not be puffed up in partisanship for one against the other.

riversident@1Corinthians:4:9 @ For it seems to me that God has set us apostles out last of all as men doomed to death, that we may be a spectacle to the world and to angels and to men.

riversident@1Corinthians:4:13 @ when slandered we entreat. We have come to be, as it were, the sweepings of the world, the riffraff of all things up to now.

riversident@1Corinthians:4:15 @ For if you have ten thousand teachers in Christ, still you have not many fathers. For I was your father in Christ Jesus through the good news.

riversident@1Corinthians:4:17 @ For this very purpose I have sent to you Timothy, who is my loved and faithful child in the Lord. He will remind you of my ways in Christ \'97 how I teach everywhere in every church.

riversident@1Corinthians:4:19 @ But I shall come to you shortly, if the Lord wills, and I will find out, not the talk of these puffed-up ones, but their power.

riversident@1Corinthians:4:20 @ For the kingdom of God is not in talk, but in power.

riversident@1Corinthians:5:1 @ IT is generally reported that there is unchastity among you, and such unchastity as is not even among the Gentiles, so that a man has his father's wife!

riversident@1Corinthians:5:2 @ And you are puffed up with pride and have not rather grieved and taken steps to expel from among you the doer of this deed!

riversident@1Corinthians:5:3 @ For I, absent in body, but present in spirit, have already as if I were present judged the man who has acted thus.

riversident@1Corinthians:5:4 @ When you assembled in the name of the Lord Jesus and my spirit was also present with the power of our Lord Jesus,

riversident@1Corinthians:5:5 @ I decided to deliver over such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord.

riversident@1Corinthians:5:6 @ Your boasting is unbecoming. Do you not know that a little yeast sets the whole mass fermenting?

riversident@1Corinthians:5:7 @ Cleanse out the old yeast that you may be new dough, free from yeast, as indeed you are. For Christ, our Passover, has been sacrificed.

riversident@1Corinthians:5:8 @ So let us keep the festival, not with the old yeast nor with the yeast of evil and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

riversident@1Corinthians:5:10 @ certainly not meaning the unchaste of this world, or the covetous or extortionate or idolaters, since in that case you would have to leave the world.

riversident@1Corinthians:5:13 @ But outsiders God will judge. Expel the wicked man from among yourselves.

riversident@1Corinthians:6:1 @ DOES any one of you, if he has a grievance against another, dare to bring the case before the unrighteous and not before the holy?

riversident@1Corinthians:6:2 @ Do you not know that the holy are going to judge the world? If the world is to be judged by you, are you unfit for the most trivial cases?

riversident@1Corinthians:6:4 @ If then you have affairs of this life, do you ask men who in the view of the church count for nothing to sit as judges?

riversident@1Corinthians:6:9 @ Do you not know that unrighteous people will not inherit the kingdom of God? Make no mistake, neither the unchaste, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor those who practice unnatural vices,

riversident@1Corinthians:6:10 @ nor thieves, nor the avaricious, nor drunkards, nor the abusive, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.

riversident@1Corinthians:6:11 @ And such some of you were. But you have washed yourselves; but you have been made holy; but you have been pronounced righteous in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.

riversident@1Corinthians:6:13 @...one and the other. The body...

riversident@1Corinthians:6:14 @ God raised the Lord and will also raise us through his power.

riversident@1Corinthians:6:15 @ Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never!

riversident@1Corinthians:6:17 @ He who is united to the Lord is one spirit.

riversident@1Corinthians:6:18 @ Shun unchastity. Every other sin that a man does is apart from the body, but the unchaste sins against his own body.

riversident@1Corinthians:6:19 @ Do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God, and that you are not your own?

riversident@1Corinthians:7:1 @ WITH reference to the matters you wrote of: It is an excellent thing for a man not to touch a woman.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:2 @ But because of the prevailing unchastity, let each man have his own wife and each woman her own husband.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:3 @ Let the husband pay his wife conjugal dues and the wife her husband.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:4 @ The wife has not power over her own body, but her husband has. In the same way the husband has not power over his own body, but his wife has.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:8 @ I say to the unmarried and the widows, it is excellent for them to remain as I do.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:10 @ To the married I command \'97 yet not I, but the Lord \'97 that the wife is not to leave her husband

riversident@1Corinthians:7:12 @ To the rest I say \'97 not the Lord: If any brother has a wife who is an unbeliever and she is pleased to live with him, let him not put her away.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:14 @ For the unbelieving husband has been made holy by the wife and the unbelieving wife has been made holy by the husband. Otherwise your children would be impure, but now they are holy.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:15 @...leaves, let him leave. The brother...

riversident@1Corinthians:7:17 @ But, as the Lord has allotted to each, let each go on living as when God called him. So I prescribe in all the churches.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:19 @ Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God is all.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:21 @ Were you called when a slave? Let it not trouble you. On the contrary, even if you can become free, take it in preference.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:22 @ For the slave who has been called in the Lord is the Lord's freedman. Just so the free man, when called, is the slave of Christ.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:25 @ In regard to unmarried women I have no command of the Lord, but I give my opinion as one who through the mercy of the Lord is trustworthy.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:26 @ I think then that this is an excellent thing on account of the present distress \'97 that it is an excellent thing for a person to be unmarried.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:28 @ But even if you marry, you have not sinned. Even if a maiden marries, she has not sinned. But such will have trouble in the flesh, and I would spare you.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:29 @...this I say, brethren: The time...

riversident@1Corinthians:7:31 @ and those who use the world as if not overusing it. For the present order of this world is passing away.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:32 @...be free from worry. The unmarried...\'97 how be may please the Lord.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:33 @ The married man is anxious about the things of the world \'97 how he may please his wife,

riversident@1Corinthians:7:34 @ and his interest is divided. So the unmarried woman or the maiden is anxious about the things of the Lord, that she may be holy in body and spirit. But the married woman is anxious about the things of the world \'97 how she may please her husband.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:35 @ This I say for your benefit, not to throw a noose over you, but to promote decorum and constant devotion to the Lord without distraction.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:39 @ A woman is bound as long as her husband is living. But if her husband falls asleep, she is free to marry whom she will, though only in the Lord.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:40 @ But in my opinion she is happier if she stays as she is. And I think that I have the Spirit of God.

riversident@1Corinthians:8:4 @ Regarding the eating of things that have been sacrificed to idols, then, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no God but one.

riversident@1Corinthians:8:6 @ still to us there is one God the Father, of whom are all things and we for him, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and we through him.

riversident@1Corinthians:8:7 @ But all have not this knowledge. Some, having been accustomed to idols up to the present time, eat the food as a sacrifice to an idol, and their conscience being weak is stained.

riversident@1Corinthians:8:9 @ But be careful that this power of yours may not become a stumbling block to the weak.

riversident@1Corinthians:8:10 @ For if any one sees you who have knowledge reclining at table in an idol's temple, will not the conscience of that weak one be emboldened to eat things that have been sacrificed to idols?

riversident@1Corinthians:8:11 @ Thus the weak man is ruined by your knowledge \'97 the brother for whom Christ died.

riversident@1Corinthians:8:12 @ So sinning against the brethren and wounding their weak consciences you sin against Christ.

riversident@1Corinthians:8:13 @ Therefore if food makes my brother stumble I will not eat meat while the world stands, for fear of making my brother stumble.

riversident@1Corinthians:9:1 @ AM I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are you not my work in the Lord?

riversident@1Corinthians:9:2 @ If to others I am not an apostle, certainly I am to you. For you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.

riversident@1Corinthians:9:4 @ Have we not the right to eat and drink?

riversident@1Corinthians:9:5 @ Have we not the right to take about with us a sister as wife, as the rest of the apostles do and the brothers of the Lord and Cephas?

riversident@1Corinthians:9:6 @ Or am I only, and Barnabas, without the right not to do manual labor?

riversident@1Corinthians:9:7 @ Who ever serves as a soldier and supplies his own pay and rations? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat the fruit of it? Who keeps a flock and does not drink any of the milk of the flock?

riversident@1Corinthians:9:8 @ Am I saying these things from a man's point of view or does not the Law also say them?

riversident@1Corinthians:9:9 @ For in the Law of Moses it is written, "You shall not muzzle an ox when he is treading out grain." Is God thinking of the oxen?

riversident@1Corinthians:9:10 @ or does he say this wholly for our sakes? For our sakes; for it was written because the plowman ought to plow in hope and the thresher ought to thresh in hope of having a share.

riversident@1Corinthians:9:11 @ If we sowed for you things of the spirit, is it a great matter if we reap your things of the flesh?

riversident@1Corinthians:9:12 @ If others share this right over you, do not we still more? But we have not used this right. No, we endure all things in order not to cause any hindrance to the good news of Christ.

riversident@1Corinthians:9:13 @ Do you not know that those who do the work of the Temple eat the things that come from the Temple, and those who minister at the altar share with the altar?

riversident@1Corinthians:9:14 @ So the Lord has directed that those who proclaim the good news shall have their living from the good news.

riversident@1Corinthians:9:16 @ For although I tell the good news I have nothing to boast of. For a necessity is laid upon me. Alas for me if I do not tell the good news!

riversident@1Corinthians:9:18 @ What then is my reward? That in telling the good news I make the good news free, and do not take full advantage of my rights in the good news.

riversident@1Corinthians:9:19 @ For though I am free from all I have enslaved myself to all that I may gain the more.

riversident@1Corinthians:9:20 @ I became to the Jews a Jew, to gain the Jews; to those under law as under law, though not myself under law, to gain those who are under law.

riversident@1Corinthians:9:21 @ To those without law, I became as without law, though not without the law of God and under the law of Christ, to gain those who are without law.

riversident@1Corinthians:9:22 @ To the weak I became weak to gain the weak. To all men I became all things in order by all means to save some.

riversident@1Corinthians:9:23 @ I do all things for the sake of the good news that I may become a partner with it.

riversident@1Corinthians:9:24 @ Do you not know that those who run in a stadium all run, yet one gets the prize? Run so as to win.

riversident@1Corinthians:9:25 @ Every one who contends in the games practices self-restraint in all things. They do it to win a fading crown, but we for an unfading one.

riversident@1Corinthians:9:26 @ Thus I run with no uncertain goal: thus I strike, not as if pounding the air.

riversident@1Corinthians:9:27 @ On the contrary, I maul and master my body so that I may not, after preaching to others, become myself unable to stand the test.

riversident@1Corinthians:10:1 @ I DO not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, that our fathers were all under the cloud and all passed through the sea

riversident@1Corinthians:10:2 @ and all received baptism in the cloud and in the sea,

riversident@1Corinthians:10:3 @ and all ate the same spiritual food

riversident@1Corinthians:10:4 @ and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank from a spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was Christ.

riversident@1Corinthians:10:5 @ But with the most of them God was not well pleased. For they were strewn in the desert.

riversident@1Corinthians:10:9 @ Nor let us try the patience of the Lord, as some of them tried him and were destroyed by serpents.

riversident@1Corinthians:10:10 @ Nor murmur, as some of them murmured and perished by the destroyer.

riversident@1Corinthians:10:11 @ These things happened to those people as warnings and they were written for the instruction of us to whom the closing events of the ages have come.

riversident@1Corinthians:10:13 @ No trial has taken you but what belongs to human nature. God is faithful and he will not let you be tried beyond your power, but will make, with the trial, a way of escape so that you can endure it.

riversident@1Corinthians:10:16 @...the blood of Christ? The bread...

riversident@1Corinthians:10:17 @ Because there is one bread we though many are one body; for we all partake of the one bread.

riversident@1Corinthians:10:18 @ Look at Israel according to the flesh; are not those who eat of the sacrifice partakers of the altar?

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

riversident@1Corinthians:10:22 @ Or are we arousing the jealousy of the Lord? Are we stronger than he?

riversident@1Corinthians:10:24 @ Let no one seek his own interest, but the interest of others.

riversident@1Corinthians:10:26 @ For "the earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof."

riversident@1Corinthians:10:27 @ If any one of the unbelievers invites you and you wish to go, eat whatever is set before you, raising no questions of conscience.

riversident@1Corinthians:10:28 @ But if any one says to you, "This is meat that has been sacrificed," do not eat, for the sake of him who mentioned it and for conscience' sake \'97

riversident@1Corinthians:11:3 @ I wish you to know that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of a woman is her husband, and the head of Christ is God.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:5 @ But every woman praying or prophesying bareheaded dishonors her head. For it is one and the same as if she had her head shaved.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:7 @ For a man has no need to cover his head since he is the image and glory of God. But the woman is the glory of man.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:10 @ Therefore, the woman ought to have a badge of authority on her head because of the angels.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:17 @ In giving the following directions I do not praise you, because you do not assemble for the better, but for the worse.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:18 @ For, in the first place, I hear that when you assemble as a church there are parties among you, and to some extent I believe it.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:20 @ When, therefore, you assemble it is not possible to eat the Lord's supper.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:22 @ Have you not homes to eat and drink in? Or do you mean to show contempt for the church of God and put to shame those who have no homes? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you? For this I do not praise you.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:23 @ For I received from the Lord that which I passed on to you that the Lord Jesus, on the night in which he was betrayed, took bread,

riversident@1Corinthians:11:25 @ In like manner he took also the cup after supper, saying,

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

riversident@1Corinthians:11:27 @ Therefore, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord unworthily will be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:28 @ But let a man examine himself and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:29 @ For he who eats and drinks eats and drinks condemnation to himself, if he does not honor the Lord's body.

riversident@1Corinthians:12:4 @ There are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit.

riversident@1Corinthians:12:5 @ And there are varieties of service, but the same Lord.

riversident@1Corinthians:12:6 @ And there are varieties of products, but the same God who produces all things in all.

riversident@1Corinthians:12:7 @ To each one is given some manifestation of the Spirit for what is profitable.

riversident@1Corinthians:12:8 @ To one are given, through the Spirit, words of wisdom, to another words of knowledge by the same Spirit,

riversident@1Corinthians:12:9 @ to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the same Spirit,

riversident@1Corinthians:12:10 @ to another works of power, to another prophecy, to another the discernment of spirits, to another varieties of tongues, to another interpretation of tongues.

riversident@1Corinthians:12:11 @ One and the same Spirit produces all of these gifts, distributing to each one individually as he will.

riversident@1Corinthians:12:12 @ For as the body is one and yet has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so also is Christ.

riversident@1Corinthians:12:14 @ For the body is not one member, but many.

riversident@1Corinthians:12:15 @ If the foot says, "Because I am not a hand I am not of the body," it is not for that reason not of the body.

riversident@1Corinthians:12:16 @ And if the ear says, "Because I am not an eye I am not of the body," it is not for that reason not of the body.

riversident@1Corinthians:12:17 @ If the whole body were an eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where would be the smelling?

riversident@1Corinthians:12:18 @ But now God has placed the members each one of them in the body as he pleased.

riversident@1Corinthians:12:19 @ If all were one member, where would be the body?

riversident@1Corinthians:12:20 @ But now the members are many, but the body is one.

riversident@1Corinthians:12:21 @ And the eye cannot say to the hand, "I have no need of you," or the head to the feet, "I have no need of you."

riversident@1Corinthians:12:22 @ Indeed, much more those members of the body that seem to be the weaker are necessary,

riversident@1Corinthians:12:23 @ and those that we deem the less honorable parts of the body we surround with greater honor and our uncomely parts have additional dignity,

riversident@1Corinthians:12:24 @ while our comely parts have no need. But God has organized the body, giving greater honor to the part that lacks,

riversident@1Corinthians:12:25 @ that there may be no discord in the body, but that the members may have a common concern for one another.

riversident@1Corinthians:12:26 @ And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; if a member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.

riversident@1Corinthians:12:27 @ You are the body of Christ and individually members.

riversident@1Corinthians:12:28 @ God placed some in the church first as apostles, secondly as prophets, thirdly as teachers, then miracle-workers, then those with gifts of healing, helpers, administrators, speakers of different kinds of tongues.

riversident@1Corinthians:12:31 @ Seek earnestly for the greater gifts; and yet I will show you a way that surpasses all.

riversident@1Corinthians:13:1 @ IF I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.

riversident@1Corinthians:13:2 @ And if I have the power of prophecy and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

riversident@1Corinthians:13:13 @ But now faith, hope, love \'97 these three \'97 endure. And the greatest of these is love.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:2 @ For he who speaks with a tongue speaks not to men, but to God. For no one understands, and he speaks mysteries in the Spirit.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:4 @ He who speaks in a tongue builds himself up, but he who prophesies builds up the church.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:5 @ I wish you all to speak with tongues, but I wish more to have you prophesy. He who prophesies is greater than he who speaks with tongues, unless he interprets so that the church may receive upbuilding.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:7 @ Inanimate things that give a sound, such as the flute or harp, \'97 unless they give a distinction in the sounds, how will it be known what is being played on flute or harp?

riversident@1Corinthians:14:8 @ If the trumpet gives a dubious sound, who will prepare himself for battle?

riversident@1Corinthians:14:9 @ And so you, if you do not give by the tongue words easy to understand, how will it be known what is said? For you will be talking into the air.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:10 @ There are, it may be, so many kinds of languages in the world, and none without meaning.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:11 @ If then I do not know the meaning of the language, I shall be a barbarian to him who is speaking, and he will be a barbarian to me.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:12 @ And so you, since you are eager for spiritual gifts, seek to abound in what will build up the church.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:15 @ What then? I will pray with the spirit and with the understanding. I will sing with the spirit and with the understanding.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:16 @ If you thank God with the spirit, how shall he who fills the place of the ordinary man say Amen to your thanksgiving? For he does not know what you are saying.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:17 @ You give thanks excellently, but the other is not helped by it.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:21 @ In the Law it is written, "By men of strange speech and by the lips of strangers I will speak to this people, and not even thus will they listen to me, says the Lord."

riversident@1Corinthians:14:23 @ If therefore the whole church assembles and all speak with tongues and ordinary men or unbelievers come in, will they not say that you are insane?

riversident@1Corinthians:14:26 @ What then, brethren? When you assemble each one has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has a tongue, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for the upbuilding of character.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:27 @ If any one speaks with a tongue, let it be two, or at the most three, at a time and in turn and let one interpret.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:28 @ If there is no interpreter, let the man keep silent in church and let him speak to himself and to God.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:29 @ Of the prophets let two or three speak and let the others reflect.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:30 @ If a revelation comes to another who is sitting by, let the first become silent.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:32 @ The spirits of the prophets are under the control of the prophets.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:33 @ For God is not a God of confusion, but of peace. As in all the churches of the holy,

riversident@1Corinthians:14:34 @ let the women be silent in your assemblies. For it is not allowed to them to speak; but let them be in subjection as also the Law says.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:36 @ Did the message of God come out from you or did it come to you alone?

riversident@1Corinthians:14:37 @ If any one thinks himself a prophet or spiritual, let him recognize that what I am writing to you is the command of the Lord.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:1 @ LET me recall to your minds, brethren, the good news which I announced to you and which you accepted, in which also you stand,

riversident@1Corinthians:15:2 @ through which also you are being saved, if you hold fast the message that I announced to you, unless your faith was thoughtless.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:3 @ For among the first things I passed on to you what I had received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,

riversident@1Corinthians:15:4 @ and that he was buried, and that he was raised on the third day, according to the Scriptures,

riversident@1Corinthians:15:5 @ and that he was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve,

riversident@1Corinthians:15:6 @ then he was seen by more than five hundred brethren at once, of whom the most are still living, but some have fallen asleep,

riversident@1Corinthians:15:7 @ then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles.

riversident@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.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:10 @ But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not without result, but I labored more abundantly than all of them, yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:12 @ But if Christ is proclaimed \'97 that he has been raised from the dead \'97 how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?

riversident@1Corinthians:15:13 @ If there is no resurrection of the dead, then neither has Christ been raised.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:15 @ And we are found false witnesses of God because we testified regarding God that he raised up Christ, whom he did not raise if the dead are not raised.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:16 @ For if the dead are not raised, neither has Christ been raised.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:20 @ But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the first-fruit of those who have fallen asleep.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:21 @ For since by a man came death, by a man also came resurrection of the dead.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:23 @...in his own order. The... first-fruit is Christ, then those who are Christ's, at his coming.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:24 @ Then will be the end when he delivers up the kingship to God his Father, when he has defeated every archangel and authority and power.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:26 @ The last enemy to be defeated will be death.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:28 @ But when all things have been subjected to him, then the Son himself will be subjected to him who subjected all things to him, that God may be all in all.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:29 @ Then what shall they do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead do not rise at all, why are they then baptized for them?

riversident@1Corinthians:15:31 @ I die every day, I swear it by the boast I make of you and which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:32 @ If, humanly speaking, I fought wild beasts at Ephesus, what is my gain? If the dead do not rise, "let us eat and drink, for to-morrow we die."

riversident@1Corinthians:15:35 @ But some one will say, How are the dead raised, and with what sort of bodies do they come?

riversident@1Corinthians:15:37 @ And what you sow is not the body that will come, but a mere grain, perhaps of wheat or of something else.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:39 @ All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another flesh of birds, and another flesh of fishes.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:40 @ There are bodies celestial and bodies terrestrial. But the glory of the celestial is of one kind and the glory of the terrestrial is of another.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:41 @ There is one glory of the sun and another glory of the moon and another glory of the stars. For star differs from star in glory.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:42 @ So also will be the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in decay; it is raised imperishable.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:45 @ Just as it is written, "The first man Adam became a living animal," the last Adam became a lifegiving spirit.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:46 @ But the spiritual is not first, but the animal, then the spiritual.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:47 @ The first man was from the earth, earthly; the second man is the Lord from heaven.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:48 @ As is the earthly man such are also those who are earthly, and as is the heavenly man such are also those who are heavenly.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:49 @ And as we have borne the image of the earthly man, we shall bear the image of the heavenly man.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:50 @ But I say this, brethren, flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor will decay inherit imperishability.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:52 @ in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet-call. For the trumpet will sound and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be transformed.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:54 @ When this perishable has clothed itself with imperishability and this mortal has clothed itself with immortality, then will come to pass the word that is written, "Death has been swallowed up in victory.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:56 @ The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the Law.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:57 @ But thanks be to God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!

riversident@1Corinthians:15:58 @ So then, my beloved brethren, be firm, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord; since you know that your labor is not fruitless in the Lord.

riversident@1Corinthians:16:1 @ REGARDING the collection for the holy, as I arranged for the churches of Galatia, you must do the same.

riversident@1Corinthians:16:2 @ On the first day of the week let each of you lay up at home something according as he may be prospering, in order that no collections may be going on when I come.

riversident@1Corinthians:16:6 @ and perhaps I shall make some stay with you or pass the winter with you, so that you may send me forward wherever I may be going.

riversident@1Corinthians:16:7 @ I do not wish to see you now merely in passing, for I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permits.

riversident@1Corinthians:16:10 @ If Timothy comes, see to it that he becomes free from fear in his relations to you. For he is doing the Lord's work, just as I am.

riversident@1Corinthians:16:11 @ So let no one think him of no account. Send him forward in peace on his journey to me, for I am expecting him with the brethren.

riversident@1Corinthians:16:12 @ As to Apollos our brother, I urged him strongly to go to you with the brethren. But it was not at all his will to go now, but he will come when it is convenient.

riversident@1Corinthians:16:13 @ Watch, stand firmly in the faith, be manly, be strong,

riversident@1Corinthians:16:15 @ I beg you, brethren \'97 you know the household of Stephanas, that it is the first-fruit of Achaia and they have devoted themselves to serving the holy \'97

riversident@1Corinthians:16:17 @ I rejoice in the arrival of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus, because they made up for my lack of you.

riversident@1Corinthians:16:19 @ The churches of Asia send you their greetings. Aquila and Prisca with the church in their house greet you heartily in the Lord.

riversident@1Corinthians:16:20 @ All the brethren send greetings to you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.

riversident@2Corinthians:1:2 @ Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!

riversident@2Corinthians:1:3 @ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of loving kindness and the God of all encouragement,

riversident@2Corinthians:1:4 @ who encourages us in every distress so that we may be able to encourage those who are in every distress by the encouragement by which we ourselves have been encouraged by God.

riversident@2Corinthians:1:5 @ Because as the sufferings of Christ are abundant in our case, so through Christ our encouragement is abundant.

riversident@2Corinthians:1:6 @ But if we are in distress, it is for your encouragement and salvation. If we are encouraged, it is for your encouragement which is effective in the endurance of the same sufferings that we suffer.

riversident@2Corinthians:1:7 @ Our hope is strong regarding you, since we know that as you are partakers of the sufferings so you are of the encouragement.

riversident@2Corinthians:1:8 @ For we do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, regarding the distress that came on us in Asia \'97 that we were exceedingly weighed down, beyond our strength, so that we despaired even of life.

riversident@2Corinthians:1:9 @ Indeed we have the sentence of death within ourselves, that our trust may not rest on ourselves, but on God who raises the dead.

riversident@2Corinthians:1:11 @ while you help by your prayers for us, so that from many persons thanksgiving may arise for the gift granted to us through the prayers of many for us.

riversident@2Corinthians:6:16 @ What agreement has the Temple of God with idols? For we are the Temple of the living God, as God said, "I will dwell in them and walk among them, and I will be their God and they shall be my people.

riversident@2Corinthians:6:17 @ Therefore come out from the midst of them and be separate, says the Lord, and do not touch an unclean thing, and I will receive you

riversident@2Corinthians:6:18 @ and will be a Father to you and you shall be sons and daughters to me, says the Lord, the Ruler of all."

riversident@2Corinthians:7:6 @ But God, who encourages the depressed, encouraged us by the coming of Titus,

riversident@2Corinthians:7:7 @ and not by his coming only, but also by the encouragement by which he was encouraged about you. He told us of your longing for me, your lamentation, your zeal in my behalf, so that I rejoice the more.

riversident@2Corinthians:7:10 @ For such grief as God approves works a change of heart leading to salvation and is never to be regretted. But the grief of the world results in death.

riversident@2Corinthians:7:11 @ Notice this very grieving as God approves, how great earnestness resulted from it in your case, what effort to defend yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what longing, what zeal, what just punishment! In everything you showed yourselves blameless in the matter.

riversident@2Corinthians:7:12 @ So although I wrote to you, I did it not for the sake of him who did the wrong, nor for the sake of him who suffered wrong, but that your earnestness for us might be made plain to you before God.

riversident@2Corinthians:7:13 @ On this account we have been encouraged. In addition to this encouragement of ours, we rejoiced very much more over the joy of Titus because his spirit has been refreshed by you all,

riversident@2Corinthians:7:14 @ for if I have made any boast regarding you I have not been put to shame, but as we spoke everything in truth to you so our boasting over Titus turned out the truth.

riversident@2Corinthians:7:15 @ And his affections go out more strongly to you when he remembers the obedience of you all, how with reverence and trembling you received him.

riversident@2Corinthians:8:1 @ I MUST tell you, brethren, of the grace of God that has been given to the churches of Macedonia,

riversident@2Corinthians:8:2 @ that in a great trial of distress their abundant joy and their deep poverty have abounded in the wealth of their liberality.

riversident@2Corinthians:8:4 @ with great urgency they begged of us the favor of fellowship in the service for the holy,

riversident@2Corinthians:8:5 @ and this not as we had hoped, but first they gave themselves to the Lord and to us through the will of God.

riversident@2Corinthians:8:7 @ But as you excel in every way, in faith and speech and knowledge and in all earnestness and in the love you learned from us, be sure to excel in this grace also.

riversident@2Corinthians:8:8 @ I speak not by way of command, but testing the genuineness of your love by the earnestness of others.

riversident@2Corinthians:8:9 @ For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich yet for your sake he became poor, that you by his poverty might become rich.

riversident@2Corinthians:8:10 @ In this I give my opinion, for this is advantageous for you, since a year ago you were first to begin not only the doing but the wanting to do anything.

riversident@2Corinthians:8:11 @ But now complete the doing, that as there was a readiness in willing so there may be a completion according to your means.

riversident@2Corinthians:8:12 @ For if there is first the readiness, a gift is acceptable according to what a man has, not according to what he has not.

riversident@2Corinthians:8:14 @ but by equality at the present time your abundance may supply their need so that their abundance may come at your need \'97 that there may be equality,

riversident@2Corinthians:8:16 @ Thanks be to God who puts into the heart of Titus the same interest in you.

riversident@2Corinthians:8:18 @ With him we are sending the brother whose praise for service to the good news has spread through all the churches,

riversident@2Corinthians:8:19 @ and not only that, but he was appointed by the churches as our fellow traveler in this gracious errand carried out by us to the glory of the Lord himself and by our own eager desire.

riversident@2Corinthians:8:21 @ for we are providing arrangements honorable, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.

riversident@2Corinthians:8:23 @ If any one asks about Titus, he is my intimate friend and fellow worker for you. If it is our brethren, they are the messengers of the churches, the glory of Christ.

riversident@2Corinthians:8:24 @ Show them in the sight of the churches your love and the ground of our boasting to them about you.

riversident@2Corinthians:9:1 @ REGARDING the service to the holy, it is superfluous for me to write to you.

riversident@2Corinthians:9:2 @ For I know your readiness and I am boasting about you to the Macedonians, that Achaia was ready a year ago, and your zeal has stimulated the most of them.

riversident@2Corinthians:9:3 @ I am sending the brethren that our boasting about you may not be proved in this matter an empty boast, so that you may be ready as I have said,

riversident@2Corinthians:9:5 @ So I think it necessary to urge the brethren to go on in advance to you and prepare before-hand your promised gift, that it may be ready as a gift and not as if extorted.

riversident@2Corinthians:9:9 @ as it is written, "He scattered, he gave to the poor, his righteousness endures forever."

riversident@2Corinthians:9:10 @ He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and make abundant your seed and will increase the fruits of your righteousness.

riversident@2Corinthians:9:12 @ For the performance of this sacred service not only supplies the needs of the holy, but also overflows to God in many thanksgivings.

riversident@2Corinthians:9:13 @ By the proof afforded by this service men are led to glorify God for your fidelity to your profession of faith in the good news of Christ, and for the liberality of your contributions toward them and toward all.

riversident@2Corinthians:9:14 @ In their prayers in your behalf they pour out their longing love for you because of the surpassing grace of God that is upon you.

riversident@2Corinthians:10:1 @ I MYSELF, Paul, beg you by the gentleness and sweet reasonableness of Christ \'97 I who "to your face am humble when among you, but when absent am bold toward you" \'97

riversident@2Corinthians:10:2 @ I pray that I may not when present have to be bold with the confidence with which I expect to show my courage against some who think of us as living according to the flesh.

riversident@2Corinthians:10:3 @ For although living in the flesh we do not carry on our warfare according to the flesh,

riversident@2Corinthians:10:4 @ for the weapons of our warfare are not weapons of the flesh, but powerful under God for the destruction of fortresses.

riversident@2Corinthians:10:5 @ We overthrow reasonings and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and take captive every thought into obedience to Christ

riversident@2Corinthians:10:8 @ For if I boast somewhat excessively of our authority, which the Lord gave for building you up and not for pulling you down, I shall not be ashamed.

riversident@2Corinthians:10:13 @ We will not boast beyond measure, but according to the measure of the measuring rod which God assigned to us, and that reaches as far as you.

riversident@2Corinthians:10:14 @ For we are not stretching ourselves, as if we did not reach to you, for we were the first to reach you with the good news of Christ.

riversident@2Corinthians:10:15 @ We are not boasting beyond measure in the labors of others, but we have hope that as your faith grows we may have larger influence among you according to our measure and beyond,

riversident@2Corinthians:10:16 @ so that we may tell the good news to the regions lying beyond you and not boast of things already done in some other man's territory.

riversident@2Corinthians:10:17 @ "Let him who boasts boast in the Lord."

riversident@2Corinthians:10:18 @ For it is not he who commends himself that is approved, but whom the Lord commends.

riversident@2Corinthians:11:2 @ For I am jealous over you with the jealousy of God, for I betrothed you to one husband to present you as a pure virgin to Christ.

riversident@2Corinthians:11:3 @ But I fear that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his cunning, your thoughts may be led away from sincerity and purity toward Christ.

riversident@2Corinthians:11:5 @ I consider that I am in nothing inferior to the most eminent apostles.

riversident@2Corinthians:11:7 @ Did I commit a sin when I humbled myself that you might be exalted, because I proclaimed to you the good news of God without pay?

riversident@2Corinthians:11:9 @ and when I was with you and in need I was not a burden to any one, for the brethren who came from Macedonia supplied my need. In every way I kept myself from being a burden to you, and shall keep myself so.

riversident@2Corinthians:11:10 @ As the truth of Christ is in me, this boast of mine shall not be stopped in the region of Achaia.

riversident@2Corinthians:11:17 @ What I am saying I am not saying by the Lord's command, but as it were in foolishness, in this confident boasting.

riversident@2Corinthians:11:18 @ Since many are boasting according to the flesh, I too will boast,

riversident@2Corinthians:11:19 @ for you who are wise bear pleasantly with the foolish.

riversident@2Corinthians:11:20 @ You bear it if any one enslaves you, if any one devours you, if any one takes possession of you, if any one exalts himself, if any one strikes you in the face.

riversident@2Corinthians:11:25 @ three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, three times I was ship-wrecked, a night and day I have been in the deep;

riversident@2Corinthians:11:26 @ in journeys often, in perils of rivers, in perils of robbers, in perils from my own race, in perils from Gentiles, in perils in the city, in perils in the open country, in perils on the sea, in perils among false brethren;

riversident@2Corinthians:11:28 @ Aside, from other things there is that which weighs on me daily, anxiety for all the churches.

riversident@2Corinthians:11:30 @ If there must be boasting, I will boast of the things that show my weakness.

riversident@2Corinthians:11:31 @ The God and Father of the Lord Jesus knows, he who is blessed forever, that I am not lying.

riversident@2Corinthians:11:32 @ In Damascus the Governor under King Aretas was guarding the city of the Damascenes to arrest me,

riversident@2Corinthians:12:1 @ I MUST boast, though it is unprofitable. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.

riversident@2Corinthians:12:2 @ I know a man in Christ fourteen years ago \'97 whether in the body I know not, or out of the body I know not; God knows \'97 such a man caught up to the third heaven.

riversident@2Corinthians:12:3 @ I know such a man \'97 whether in the body or out of the body I know not; God knows \'97

riversident@2Corinthians:12:6 @ Even if I choose to boast I shall not be foolish, for I shall speak the truth. But I guard myself that no one may think of me beyond what he sees me to be, or hears from me,

riversident@2Corinthians:12:7 @ and because of the surpassing nature of the revelations. For this reason, that I should not be puffed up, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, an angel of Satan, to torment me, so that I should not be puffed up.

riversident@2Corinthians:12:8 @ Regarding this I three times begged the Lord that it might leave me.

riversident@2Corinthians:12:9 @ But he has said to me, Most gladly then will I boast in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may abide upon me.

riversident@2Corinthians:12:11 @ I have become foolish; you made me. For I ought to have been recommended by you. For in nothing have I been inferior to the most eminent apostles, even though I am nothing.

riversident@2Corinthians:12:12 @ The signs of an apostle were performed among you in all patience by miracles and wonders and deeds of power.

riversident@2Corinthians:12:13 @ What is there in which you were made inferior to the rest of the churches except that I was not a burden to you? Forgive me this wrong.

riversident@2Corinthians:12:14 @ Now this third time I am ready to come to you, and I shall not be a burden to you. For I am not seeking yours, but you. For the children ought not to lay up money for the parents, but the parents for the children.

riversident@2Corinthians:12:15 @ And I will most gladly spend and be spent for your souls. If I love you too much, am I loved the less?

riversident@2Corinthians:12:18 @ I begged Titus to go, and I sent along with him the brother. Did Titus take advantage of you? Did we not act in the same spirit and walk in the same steps?

riversident@2Corinthians:12:21 @ I am afraid that when I come again my God may humble me in your presence, and that I shall grieve over many of those who have been long sinning and have not repented of the impurity and unchastity and sensuality which they have practiced.

riversident@2Corinthians:13:1 @ THIS third time I am coming to you. "By the evidence of two witnesses, or three, every matter shall be proved."

riversident@2Corinthians:13:2 @ Those who have been long sinning and all the rest I have forewarned and now forewarn, when I was present with you the second time and now when absent, that if I come again I shall not spare;

riversident@2Corinthians:13:4 @ He was crucified in weakness, but he is living by the power of God. And we are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power of God for you.

riversident@2Corinthians:13:5 @ Test yourselves whether you are in the faith, put yourselves to the proof. Are you not conscious that Jesus Christ is in you? He is, unless you cannot stand the test.

riversident@2Corinthians:13:6 @ I hope that you know that we are not unable to stand the test.

riversident@2Corinthians:13:7 @ I pray to God that you may do nothing evil, not in order that we may seem to stand the test, but in order that you may do the right, though we should seem unable to stand the test.

riversident@2Corinthians:13:8 @ For we cannot do anything against the truth; our power is for the truth.

riversident@2Corinthians:13:10 @ For this reason I am writing this while absent, so that when present I may not act with severity in the use of the authority which the Lord gave me for building you up, not for pulling you down.

riversident@2Corinthians:13:11 @ Now, brethren, farewell. Be fully equipped; take courage; be of one mind; live in peace; then the God of love and peace will be with you.

riversident@2Corinthians:13:13 @ All the holy send greetings.

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

riversident@Galatians:1:1 @ PAUL an apostle \'97 not from men or through men, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead \'97

riversident@Galatians:1:2 @ and all the brethren with me, to the churches of Galatia:

riversident@Galatians:1:3 @ Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ,

riversident@Galatians:1:4 @ who gave himself for our sins to deliver us from the present wicked world according to the will of our God and Father!

riversident@Galatians:1:5 @ To him be glory through the ages of the ages! Amen.

riversident@Galatians:1:6 @ I am astonished that you are so quickly changing over from him who called you by the grace of Christ to a different kind of good news,

riversident@Galatians:1:7 @ though it is not another good news. But there are some who are perplexing you and wishing to pervert the good news of Christ.

riversident@Galatians:1:11 @ For I assure you, brethren, that the good news which I brought is not of man's devising.

riversident@Galatians:1:13 @ You have heard of my former life in Judaism, that I furiously persecuted the church of God and made havoc of it,

riversident@Galatians:1:14 @ and I went further in Judaism than many of my own age and race, being intensely zealous for the traditions of my forefathers.

riversident@Galatians:1:16 @ was pleased to reveal his Son in me that I might tell the good news of him among the Gentiles, immediately I did not consult with flesh and blood,

riversident@Galatians:1:19 @ But I saw no other one of the apostles, though I did see James the Lord's brother.

riversident@Galatians:1:21 @ Then I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.

riversident@Galatians:1:22 @ I was not known by face to the churches of Christ in Judaea.

riversident@Galatians:1:23 @ Only they had heard that "he who used to persecute us is now telling the good news of the faith of which he once made havoc,"

riversident@Galatians:2:2 @ I went up by revelation, and I stated to them the good news which I proclaim among the Gentiles. But I did this privately before those who were most esteemed, that I might not be running, or have run, to no Purpose.

riversident@Galatians:2:5 @ But we did not yield in subjection to them even for an hour, that the truth of the good news might continue with you.

riversident@Galatians:2:6 @ But from those who were esteemed to be something \'97 whatever they were, it makes no difference to me; God does not regard the social standing of a man \'97 those who were most esteemed did not impart to me anything additional.

riversident@Galatians:2:7 @ But, on the contrary, seeing that I was entrusted with the good news for the uncircumcision as Peter was for the circumcision,

riversident@Galatians:2:8 @ for he who had worked in Peter for the apostleship to the circumcision had worked in me for the Gentiles,

riversident@Galatians:2:9 @ recognizing the grace given to me, James, Cephas, and John, who were regarded as pillars, gave the right hand of fellowship to me and Barnabas, that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcision.

riversident@Galatians:2:10 @ Only they wished us to remember the poor. This very thing I also was earnest in doing.

riversident@Galatians:2:12 @ For before certain persons came from James, he was eating with the Gentiles. But when they came, he drew back and separated himself, fearing those who were of the circumcision.

riversident@Galatians:2:13 @ And the rest of the Jews practiced the same hypocrisy with him, so that even Barnabas was led off with them in their hypocrisy.

riversident@Galatians:2:14 @ But when I saw that they were not walking straight according to the truth of the good news, I said to Cephas before them all, "If you who are a Jew are living like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you compel the Gentiles to live like Jews?"

riversident@Galatians:2:15 @ We who are Jews by nature and not sinners of the Gentiles,

riversident@Galatians:2:20 @...is living in me. The life...

riversident@Galatians:2:21 @ I do not make nothing of the grace of God, for if righteousness is through law, then Christ died for nothing.

riversident@Galatians:3:2 @ Only this I wish to learn from you: Was it because of works of law that you received the Spirit, or because of hearing with faith?

riversident@Galatians:3:5 @ He who supplies to you the Spirit and works miracles among you, is he doing it because of works of law or because of hearing with faith,

riversident@Galatians:3:8 @ For the Scripture, foreseeing that God would declare the Gentiles righteous because of faith, announced the good news in advance to Abraham, "In you all the Gentiles will be blessed."

riversident@Galatians:3:10 @ For all who are of the works of law are under a curse, for it is written, "Cursed is every one who does not abide by all the precepts of the book of the Law and do them."

riversident@Galatians:3:12 @ But the Law is not of faith, but "He who does these things shall live by them."

riversident@Galatians:3:13 @ Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law by becoming a curse for our sake, for it is written, "Cursed is every one who hangs on a tree,"

riversident@Galatians:3:14 @ in order that the blessing of Abraham might in Jesus Christ come on the Gentiles, that they might receive through faith the promise of the Spirit.

riversident@Galatians:3:16 @ But the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his offspring. It does not say, "and to offsprings," as meaning many, but as if meaning one, "and to your offspring," who is Christ.

riversident@Galatians:3:17 @ I mean this, a covenant ratified by God, the Law that came four hundred and thirty years afterward does not annul, so as to defeat the promise.

riversident@Galatians:3:18 @ For if the inheritance is by law, it is no longer by promise. But God granted it to Abraham by promise.

riversident@Galatians:3:19 @ Why then was the Law? It was added later to make transgressions, until the Offspring should come to whom the promise had been made, and it was arranged through angels by the hand of a mediator.

riversident@Galatians:3:21 @ Is the Law then against the promises of God? Never! For if a law had been given which could give life, then really righteousness would have come by law.

riversident@Galatians:3:22 @ But the Scripture has shut up all under sin that the promise based on faith in Jesus Christ may be given to those who have faith.

riversident@Galatians:3:23 @ Before faith came we were guarded under law, shut up waiting for the faith that was to be revealed.

riversident@Galatians:3:24 @ Thus the Law became our tutor leading us to Christ, that we might be declared righteous by faith.

riversident@Galatians:3:29 @ If you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's offspring and heirs according to the promise.

riversident@Galatians:4:1 @ I SAY that as long as the heir is under age he differs in nothing from a slave, though he be owner of all.

riversident@Galatians:4:2 @ But he is under guardians and managers until the day appointed by the father.

riversident@Galatians:4:3 @ So we, when we were under age, were enslaved under the elementary lessons of the world;

riversident@Galatians:4:4 @ but, when the fullness of time came, God sent forth his Son born of a woman, born under the Law,

riversident@Galatians:4:5 @ that he might redeem those who were under Law, that we might receive the recognition as sons.

riversident@Galatians:4:6 @ Because you are sons, God has sent into our hearts the Spirit of his Son crying Abba, Father.

riversident@Galatians:4:8 @ At the time when you did not know God you were enslaved to what by nature are not gods.

riversident@Galatians:4:9 @ But now that you know God, or rather have been known by God, how are you turning back to the weak and beggarly elementary lessons to which you wish to be slaves again?

riversident@Galatians:4:13 @ You know that because of weakness of the flesh I told you the good news at first.

riversident@Galatians:4:15 @ Where now is the blessing you pronounced on me? For I bear you witness that if it had been possible you would have plucked out your own eyes and given them to me.

riversident@Galatians:4:16 @ Have I become your enemy because I tell you the truth?

riversident@Galatians:4:21 @ Tell me, you who wish to be under law, do you not hear the Law?

riversident@Galatians:4:22 @ For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one born of the slave girl and one born of the free wife.

riversident@Galatians:4:23 @ But he who was born of the slave girl was born according to the flesh, while he who was born of the free wife was born by promise.

riversident@Galatians:4:24 @ This is an allegory. For these women are the two covenants, one from Mount Sinai, bearing children for slavery. This is Hagar.

riversident@Galatians:4:25 @ Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia. She represents the present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery along with her children.

riversident@Galatians:4:26 @ But the Jerusalem on high is free and she is our mother.

riversident@Galatians:4:27 @ For it is written, "Rejoice, O barren one, you who do not bear! Break forth and shout, you who feel no birth pangs! For many are the children of the desolate \'97 more than those of her who has a husband."

riversident@Galatians:4:29 @ But just as then he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so it is now.

riversident@Galatians:4:30 @ But what says the Scripture? "Cast out the slave girl and her son. For the son of the slave girl shall not inherit along with the son of the free wife."

riversident@Galatians:4:31 @ Therefore, brethren, we are not children of a slave girl, but of the free wife.

riversident@Galatians:5:1 @ STAND firm, therefore, in the freedom with which Christ set us free, and do not wear any yoke of slavery.

riversident@Galatians:5:3 @ I testify again to every man who receives circumcision that he is under obligation to carry out the whole Law.

riversident@Galatians:5:5 @ For we in the Spirit because of faith are waiting for the hope of righteousness.

riversident@Galatians:5:7 @ You were running finely. Who hindered you from obeying the truth?

riversident@Galatians:5:8 @ The persuasion was not from him who called you.

riversident@Galatians:5:9 @ A little yeast sets the whole lump fermenting.

riversident@Galatians:5:10 @ I am persuaded in regard to you in the Lord that you will have no other mind. He who is troubling you must bear his condemnation, whoever he may be.

riversident@Galatians:5:11 @...why am I persecuted? Then the...

riversident@Galatians:5:13 @ For you were called to freedom, brethren; only do not let your freedom be an opportunity for the flesh, but in love be servants to one another.

riversident@Galatians:5:14 @ For the whole Law is summed up in one word: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."

riversident@Galatians:5:16 @ I say, walk in the Spirit and you will not carry out the passions of the flesh.

riversident@Galatians:5:17 @ For the flesh has passions contrary to the Spirit and the Spirit contrary to the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, so that you may not do whatever you wish.

riversident@Galatians:5:18 @ But if you are led by the Spirit you are not under law.

riversident@Galatians:5:19 @ The works of the flesh are obvious, such as unchastity, impurity, indecency,

riversident@Galatians:5:21 @ envyings, drinking bouts, revelries, and the like. Of these I tell you beforehand, as I have already told you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

riversident@Galatians:5:22 @ But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, slowness to anger, kindness, benevolence, faithfulness,

riversident@Galatians:5:24 @ Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its emotions and passions.

riversident@Galatians:5:25 @ If we are living in the Spirit let us direct our lives by the Spirit.

riversident@Galatians:6:2 @ Bear one another's burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ.

riversident@Galatians:6:6 @ Let him who is taught the message share with his teacher in all good things.

riversident@Galatians:6:8 @ For he who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap decay; but he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap life eternal.

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

riversident@Galatians:6:12 @ All who wish to make a fair show in the flesh are trying to compel you to receive circumcision, but only that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.

riversident@Galatians:6:13 @ For even those who are circumcised do not themselves keep the Law, but they wish you to be circumcised in order to boast in your flesh.

riversident@Galatians:6:14 @ But let me never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world is crucified to me and I to the world.

riversident@Galatians:6:16 @ All who walk by this rule \'97 may peace and mercy be on them, and on the Israel of God!

riversident@Galatians:6:17 @ For the future let no one trouble me; for I bear on my body the brands of Jesus.

riversident@Ephesians:1:21 @ far above every archangel and authority and power and lordship and every name that is named not only in this world but also in the world to come.

riversident@Ephesians:1:22 @ He put all things under his feet and placed him as head over all for the church,

riversident@Ephesians:1:23 @ which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.

riversident@Ephesians:2:2 @ in which you once walked, following the ways of this age of the world, led by the Ruler of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience.

riversident@Ephesians:2:3 @ Among these we all lived once in the passions of our flesh and of our thoughts, and we were by nature children of wrath like the rest.

riversident@Ephesians:2:6 @ and raised us up with him and made us sit with him in the heavenly heights in Christ Jesus,

riversident@Ephesians:2:7 @ that he might show in the ages to come the surpassing richness of his grace in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.

riversident@Ephesians:2:8 @ For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,

riversident@Ephesians:2:11 @ Therefore remember that once you were Gentiles in the flesh and were called uncircumcision by the so-called circumcision in the flesh, made by hands,

riversident@Ephesians:2:12 @ and that you were then apart from Christ, aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise, without hope and without God in the world.

riversident@Ephesians:2:13 @ But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far have become near by the blood of Christ.

riversident@Ephesians:2:14 @ For he is our peace. He has made both Jew and Gentile one and has broken down the dividing wall, the enmity.

riversident@Ephesians:2:15 @ In his own flesh he has ended the force of the law of commandments in ordinances in order to make the two, in himself, into one new man, thus making peace,

riversident@Ephesians:2:16 @ and in order to reconcile both in one body to God through his cross, by slaying the enmity by it.

riversident@Ephesians:2:17 @ And he came and brought the good news of peace to you who were far and peace to those who were near.

riversident@Ephesians:2:18 @ For through him we, both Jews and Gentiles, have access through one Spirit to the Father.

riversident@Ephesians:2:19 @ So then you are no longer strangers and resident aliens, but fellow citizens with the holy and members of the household of God,

riversident@Ephesians:2:20 @ built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the corner stone.

riversident@Ephesians:2:21 @ In him all the building, framed together, is growing into a holy temple in the Lord,

riversident@Ephesians:2:22 @ in whom you also are being built for a dwelling of God in the Spirit.

riversident@Ephesians:3:1 @ FOR this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles, \'97

riversident@Ephesians:3:2 @ if you have heard of the gracious commission which God has given me to you,

riversident@Ephesians:3:3 @ that by revelation the mystery has been disclosed to me, as I wrote before briefly,

riversident@Ephesians:3:4 @ In reading that letter you can learn my understanding in the mystery of Christ,

riversident@Ephesians:3:5 @ a mystery which was not disclosed in other generations to the sons of men as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit,

riversident@Ephesians:3:6 @ namely, that the Gentiles are fellow heirs and fellow members of the body, fellow sharers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the good news,

riversident@Ephesians:3:7 @ of which I became a servant according to the free grace of God which was given me by the inworking of his power.

riversident@Ephesians:3:8 @ To me, the least of all the holy, has this grace been given, to proclaim to the Gentiles the good news of the unsearchable riches of Christ

riversident@Ephesians:3:9 @ and to show what is the working of the mystery which has been hidden for ages in God, who created all things

riversident@Ephesians:3:10 @ in order to disclose now to the archangels and powers in the heavenly heights, through the church, the varied wisdom of God,

riversident@Ephesians:3:11 @ according to the eternal purpose which he has accomplished by Christ Jesus our Lord,

riversident@Ephesians:3:13 @...me for your sake. They are...

riversident@Ephesians:3:14 @ For this reason I bow my knees to the Father

riversident@Ephesians:3:16 @ that he may grant to you according to his glorious wealth to be strengthened with might through his Spirit in the inner man,

riversident@Ephesians:3:18 @ may be able with all the holy to comprehend what is the breadth and length and height and depth \'97

riversident@Ephesians:3:19 @ yes, to know the love of Christ, which yet surpasses knowledge, and may be filled with all the fullness of God.

riversident@Ephesians:3:20 @ To him who is able to do far beyond all we ask or think by the power that works in us,

riversident@Ephesians:3:21 @ to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus through all the generations of the ages! Amen.

riversident@Ephesians:4:1 @ I, THE prisoner of the Lord, beg you, then, to live worthily of the calling with which you have been called,

riversident@Ephesians:4:3 @ earnest in keeping the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

riversident@Ephesians:4:7 @ To each one of us grace was given according to the measure of the gift of Christ.

riversident@Ephesians:4:9 @ What does "he ascended" mean, except that he had descended into the lowest parts of the earth?

riversident@Ephesians:4:10 @ He who descended is also he who "ascended" high above all the heavens to fill all things.

riversident@Ephesians:4:11 @ And he "gave" to some to be apostles, some prophets, some tellers of the good news, some shepherds and teachers,

riversident@Ephesians:4:12 @ for the equipment of the saints, for the work of service, for building up the body of Christ,

riversident@Ephesians:4:13 @ until we all attain oneness in the faith and the knowledge of the Son of God, and the maturity of manhood and the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.

riversident@Ephesians:4:14 @ Then we shall be no longer children tossed and borne about by every wind of teaching through the trickery of men and craftiness in the devices of deceit,

riversident@Ephesians:4:15 @ but speaking the truth in love we shall grow wholly into him who is the head, Christ,

riversident@Ephesians:4:16 @ from whom the whole body framed together and strengthened by what every joint supplies vigorously, in the measure of each, makes growth in building itself up in love.

riversident@Ephesians:4:17 @ This then I say and solemnly protest in the Lord: that you are no longer to live as the Gentiles live in vacancy of mind,

riversident@Ephesians:4:18 @ having their understanding darkened, aliens from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, and because of the hardness of their hearts.

riversident@Ephesians:4:19 @ Lost to any sense of shame they have abandoned themselves to sensuality for the practice of every kind of impurity with greediness.

riversident@Ephesians:4:21 @ if you have heard him and have been taught in him as the truth is in Jesus,

riversident@Ephesians:4:22 @ that you should put away the old man who belonged to your former way of life and was perishing in deluding passions,

riversident@Ephesians:4:23 @ and that you should be made new in the spirit of your minds

riversident@Ephesians:4:24 @ and put on the new man formed as God approves in the righteousness and holiness of truth.

riversident@Ephesians:4:26 @ "Be angry and do not sin." Do not let the sun go down on your wrath,

riversident@Ephesians:4:27 @ neither give place for the Devil.

riversident@Ephesians:4:30 @ Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God by whom you have been sealed for the day of redemption.

riversident@Ephesians:5:5 @ For you know well that no unchaste or impure person, no greedy person \'97 who is an idolater \'97 has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.

riversident@Ephesians:5:6 @ Let no one deceive you with empty words; for because of these things the wrath of God comes on the sons of disobedience.

riversident@Ephesians:5:8 @ For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live like children of light \'97

riversident@Ephesians:5:12 @ for the things that they do in secret it is shameful even to speak of.

riversident@Ephesians:5:13 @ But all things when reproved are shown truly by the light, for everything shown truly is light.

riversident@Ephesians:5:14 @ Therefore it says, "Wake, O sleeper, and rise from the dead and Christ will give you light."

riversident@Ephesians:5:16 @ Buy up the opportunity, because these are evil days.

riversident@Ephesians:5:17 @ Therefore do not be thoughtless, but understand what is the Lord's will.

riversident@Ephesians:5:18 @ Do not be drunk with wine, in which there is profligacy, but be full of the Spirit,

riversident@Ephesians:5:20 @ giving thanks always for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God the Father.

riversident@Ephesians:5:22 @ wives to their own husbands as in the Lord,

riversident@Ephesians:5:23 @ because a man is the head of his wife as Christ is the head of the church and he is the savior of the body.

riversident@Ephesians:5:24 @ But as the church is subject to Christ, so wives are to their husbands in everything.

riversident@Ephesians:5:25 @ Husbands, love your wives, as Christ also loved the church and gave himself for it,

riversident@Ephesians:5:26 @ that he might make it holy, cleansing it by the washing with water according to his word,

riversident@Ephesians:5:27 @ that he might present to himself the church glorious, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but holy and faultless.

riversident@Ephesians:5:32 @ "This mystery is great, but I am speaking of Christ and the church.

riversident@Ephesians:5:33 @ But each one of you must love his own wife as himself, and the wife must reverence her husband.

riversident@Ephesians:6:1 @ CHILDREN, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.

riversident@Ephesians:6:2 @ "Honor your father and your mother." This is the first commandment with a promise,

riversident@Ephesians:6:3 @ "That it may go well with you and you may be long-lived in the land."

riversident@Ephesians:6:4 @ And you, fathers, do not irritate your children, but bring them up in the education and admonition of the Lord.

riversident@Ephesians:6:5 @ Slaves, obey those who according to the flesh are your masters, with reverence and awe in singleness of your hearts as to Christ,

riversident@Ephesians:6:6 @ not with eye service as pleasers of men, but as Christ's slaves, doing the will of God in a whole-souled way,

riversident@Ephesians:6:10 @ To conclude: Be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might.

riversident@Ephesians:6:11 @ Put on the complete armor of God so that you may be able to stand against the cunning arts of the Devil.

riversident@Ephesians:6:12 @ For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the arch-angels, against the authorities, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly heights.

riversident@Ephesians:6:13 @ Therefore take the complete armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day and, after going through everything, to stand.

riversident@Ephesians:6:14 @ Stand, then, belted with truth, wearing the breastplate of righteousness,

riversident@Ephesians:6:15 @ shod with the readiness of the good news of peace.

riversident@Ephesians:6:22 @ whom I am sending to you for this very purpose, will tell you everything, so that you may know the news of me and he may encourage your hearts.

riversident@Ephesians:6:23 @ Peace to the brethren and love with faith from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!

riversident@Philippians:1:1 @ PAUL and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus, to all the Holy in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, with Bishops and Deacons:

riversident@Philippians:1:2 @ Grace be to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

riversident@Philippians:1:5 @ for your fellowship in spreading the good news from the first day until now,

riversident@Philippians:1:6 @ being confident of this very thing, that he who has begun the good work in you will carry it on to completion on the day of Christ Jesus.

riversident@Philippians:1:7 @ So it is right for me to think of you all, because you have me in your hearts, and in my chains and in my defense and in establishing the good news you are all sharers in my privilege.

riversident@Philippians:1:8 @ For God is my witness how much I long for you all in the affections of Christ Jesus.

riversident@Philippians:1:10 @ so that you may discriminate between the things that differ, that you may be pure and blameless in the day of Christ,

riversident@Philippians:1:11 @ filled with the fruit of knowledge through Jesus Christ to the glory and praise of God.

riversident@Philippians:1:12 @ I wish you to know, brethren, that my affairs have turned out rather to the furtherance of the good news,

riversident@Philippians:1:13 @ so that my chains have become well known as for Christ to the whole Praetorian Guard and to all the rest,

riversident@Philippians:1:14 @ and the most of the brethren in the Lord, made confident by my chains, are unusually brave in speaking the message fearlessly.

riversident@Philippians:1:16 @ Some announce Christ from love, knowing that I am placed for the defense of the good news,

riversident@Philippians:1:19 @ For I know that this will make for my salvation through your prayer and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

riversident@Philippians:1:22 @ If it is to be life in the flesh, that means fruitful work for me. I know not which to choose.

riversident@Philippians:1:23 @ I am under pressure both ways, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, for it is far better,

riversident@Philippians:1:24 @ yet that I should stay in the flesh is more needful on your account.

riversident@Philippians:1:27 @ Only exercise your citizenship in a manner worthy of the good news of Christ, so that, whether I come and see you or in absence hear news of you, I may know that you are standing in one spirit, with one mind wrestling in the faith of the good news

riversident@Philippians:1:30 @ and you have the same struggle that you saw in me and now hear of in me.

riversident@Philippians:2:1 @ IF there is any encouragement in Christ, any persuasive power in love, any fellowship in the Spirit, any sympathies and compassions,

riversident@Philippians:2:2 @ fill up my joy by having the same love, being of the same mind, thinking the same thing,

riversident@Philippians:2:3 @ doing nothing in a partisan or vainglorious way, but each modestly regarding the others as of more account than himself.

riversident@Philippians:2:4 @ Do not be each intent on his own interests, but also on the interests of others.

riversident@Philippians:2:6 @ who, though he was in the form of God, did not think that equality with God was something to be grasped,

riversident@Philippians:2:7 @ but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant and coming into the likeness of men,

riversident@Philippians:2:8 @ and when found in the condition of a man he humbled himself by becoming obedient even to death \'97 death on the cross.

riversident@Philippians:2:9 @ Therefore, God has highly exalted him and has graciously given him the name which is above every name,

riversident@Philippians:2:10 @ that at the name of Jesus every knee may bow, of beings in heaven and those on earth and those under the earth,

riversident@Philippians:2:11 @ and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

riversident@Philippians:2:13 @ For it is God who is working in you both the willing and the doing because of his kindness.

riversident@Philippians:2:15 @ that you may be blameless and pure, children of God, spotless in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation among whom you shine as lights in the world,

riversident@Philippians:2:16 @ holding forth the message of life, so that on the day of Christ I can boast that I did not run in vain or labor in vain.

riversident@Philippians:2:17 @ But if I am poured out as a libation on your sacrificial offering of faith, I rejoice and share the joy of you all.

riversident@Philippians:2:18 @ In the same way you must rejoice and share my joy.

riversident@Philippians:2:19 @ But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, that I may be cheered by knowing about you.

riversident@Philippians:2:22 @ But you know how he has been tested and how like a child with a father he has served with me in spreading the good news.

riversident@Philippians:2:24 @ And I trust in the Lord that I myself shall come quickly.

riversident@Philippians:2:28 @ I send him the more readily that you may see him and rejoice again and I be less sorrowful.

riversident@Philippians:2:29 @ Receive him in the Lord with all joy and hold such men in honor,

riversident@Philippians:2:30 @ because for the work of Christ he was near to death, hazarding his life to complete the service you were not here to do for me.

riversident@Philippians:3:1 @ TO conclude, my brethren: rejoice in the Lord. To repeat to you the same things is not tiresome to me and it is safe for you.

riversident@Philippians:3:2 @ Beware of the dogs, beware of the bad workmen, beware of the excision.

riversident@Philippians:3:3 @ For we are the circumcision, we who worship in the Spirit of God and exult in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh,

riversident@Philippians:3:4 @ though I have ground for confidence even in the flesh. If any other man thinks that he has ground for confidence in the flesh, I have more \'97

riversident@Philippians:3:5 @ circumcised the eighth day, of the race of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews, as to the Law a Pharisee,

riversident@Philippians:3:6 @ as to zeal persecuting the church, as to the righteousness of the Law blameless.

riversident@Philippians:3:7 @ But the things that were gain to me, those I have counted loss for Christ.

riversident@Philippians:3:8 @ Yes, I count all to be loss because of the surpassing worth of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things and count them but refuse, that I may gain Christ

riversident@Philippians:3:9 @ and be found in him, not having my own righteousness that was from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God and rests on faith,

riversident@Philippians:3:10 @ that I may know him and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming like him in death,

riversident@Philippians:3:11 @ if possibly I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.

riversident@Philippians:3:14 @ I press toward the goal for the prize of the heavenly call of God in Christ Jesus.

riversident@Philippians:3:16 @ but so far as we have attained let us walk in the same path.

riversident@Philippians:3:18 @ For many are living as I used often to tell you and now say even weeping that they are enemies of the cross of Christ.

riversident@Philippians:3:20 @ For the state of which we are citizens is in the heavens and from there we are expecting a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.

riversident@Philippians:3:21 @ He will transform the body we have in our low estate into the likeness of the body he has in glory by the power by which he can subject all things to himself.

riversident@Philippians:4:1 @ SO, my brethren beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, stand firm thus in the Lord, beloved.

riversident@Philippians:4:2 @ I beg Euodia and I beg Syntyche to be of the same mind in the Lord.

riversident@Philippians:4:3 @ Yes, I ask you, true yokefellow, help them, since they struggled in spreading the good news along with me and Clement and the rest of my fellow workers whose names are in the book of life.

riversident@Philippians:4:4 @ Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I say rejoice.

riversident@Philippians:4:5 @...known to all men. The Lord...

riversident@Philippians:4:7 @ And the peace of God which passes all understanding will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.

riversident@Philippians:4:9 @ What you learned and accepted and heard and saw in me \'97 practice that. And the God of peace will be with you.

riversident@Philippians:4:10 @ I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at length your thoughtfulness for me had revived. You were thoughtful for me all along, but lacked opportunity.

riversident@Philippians:4:12 @ I know how to live humbly and I know how to enjoy abundance. In each and every situation I have been initiated into the secret both of being well fed and of going hungry, both of having abundance and of bearing want.

riversident@Philippians:4:15 @ You Philippians know that at the beginning of the good news, when I came away from Macedonia, no church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving except you only,

riversident@Philippians:4:17 @ Not that I am seeking for the gift, but I am seeking for the fruit that increases to your credit.

riversident@Philippians:4:18 @ I have enough of everything and more than enough. I am fully supplied since receiving from Epaphroditus the things from you, a fragrant odor, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God.

riversident@Philippians:4:20 @ To God our Father be glory for the ages of the ages! Amen.

riversident@Philippians:4:21 @...one in Christ Jesus. The brethren...

riversident@Colossians:2:12 @ You were buried with him in baptism and raised again through faith in the inworking of God who raised him from the dead.

riversident@Colossians:2:13 @ You who were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh God has made alive with him, and has forgiven us all our sins.

riversident@Colossians:2:14 @ He erased the writing that was against us in the rules, the writing that was opposed to us. He has taken it out of the way by nailing it to his cross.

riversident@Colossians:2:15 @ He despoiled the archangels and authorities and fearlessly made an example of them when he triumphed over them on the cross.

riversident@Colossians:2:16 @ Let no one then judge you in the matter of food or drink or in regard to a festival or new moon or Sabbath.

riversident@Colossians:3:5 @ Treat the members of your earthly bodies as dead \'97 dead to unchastity, impurity, passion, evil desire, and avarice, which is idolatry.

riversident@Colossians:3:6 @ On account of these things comes the wrath of God.

riversident@Colossians:3:9 @ Do not lie to one another. You have stripped off the old self with his practices

riversident@Colossians:3:16 @ The message of Christ must dwell in you richly, as you teach in all wisdom and admonish one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs and sing with grace in your hearts to God.

riversident@Colossians:3:17 @ And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

riversident@Colossians:3:22 @ Slaves, obey in everything your masters in the flesh, not with eye-service as men-pleasers, but in sincerity of heart, because you reverence the Lord.

riversident@Colossians:3:23 @ Whatever you do, do it heartily as for the Lord and not for men,

riversident@Colossians:3:24 @ for you know that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance. You are slaves to the Lord Christ.

riversident@Colossians:4:9 @...is one of you. They will...

riversident@Colossians:4:10 @ Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner, sends his greetings, and so does Mark, the cousin of Barnabas (note:)you have received letters about him; if he comes, welcome him(:note),

riversident@Colossians:4:11 @...who is called Justus. These alone...

riversident@Colossians:4:12 @ Epaphras, the servant of Christ Jesus, who is one of you, sends his greetings to you. He always wrestles in prayer on your behalf that you may stand mature and fully assured in all the will of God.

riversident@Colossians:4:13 @ I bear witness to the burden that he carries for you and for those in Laodicea and those in Hierapolis.

riversident@Colossians:4:14 @ Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas send you their greetings.

riversident@Colossians:4:16 @ When this letter has been read among you, have it read in the church of the Laodiceans, and you are to read the letter that will come from Laodicea.

riversident@Colossians:4:17 @ Say to Archippus, See to it that you fully perform the service which you have accepted in the Lord.

riversident@1Thessalonians:1:1 @...the Church of the Thessalonians in...

riversident@1Thessalonians:1:5 @ and that our good news came to you not in word only but in power and in the Holy Spirit and in great assurance, just as you know we acted among you for your benefit.

riversident@1Thessalonians:1:6 @ You became imitators of us and of the Lord, receiving the message in great affliction with joy which the Holy Spirit gave,

riversident@1Thessalonians:1:8 @ For the message of the Lord sounded forth from you not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place your faith toward God has gone abroad, so that there is no need for us to speak a word.

riversident@1Thessalonians:1:9 @ For the people themselves are telling about us, what a reception we had with you, and how you turned to God from idols, to serve the living and true God

riversident@1Thessalonians:1:10 @ and to wait for his Son from heaven \'97 his Son Jesus whom he raised from the dead and who is saving us from the coming wrath.

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:2 @ but after we had suffered and been roughly treated, as you know, in Philippi, we made bold in our God to speak to you the good news of God with great wrestling.

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:4 @ but as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the good news, so we speak, not as if we were pleasing men, but God, who tests our hearts.

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:6 @ nor did we seek glory from men, either from you or others, although we could have claimed the dignity of Christ's apostles.

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:7 @ But we became gentle in the midst of you like a nursing mother cherishing her own children.

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:9 @ For you remember, brethren, our toil and labor as we worked night and day so as not to burden any one of you while we proclaimed to you the good news of God.

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:12 @ to live lives worthy of the God who is calling you into his own kingdom and glory.

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:13 @ For this reason we unceasingly give thanks to God that when you received from us the report of the message of God you accepted it not as the message of men, but, as it truly is, the message of God, which also is doing its work in you who believe.

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:14 @ For you became imitators, brethren, of the churches of God that are in Judaea in Christ Jesus, because you too suffered the same things from your fellow countrymen that they did from the Jews,

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:15 @ who killed both the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and drove us out and do not please God and are enemies to all men,

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:16 @ trying to prevent us from speaking to the Gentiles so that they may be saved. All this goes always to fill up the measure of their sins. But God's fiercest wrath has overtaken them.

riversident@1Thessalonians:3:1 @ SO when we could no longer endure the anxiety, we chose to be left at Athens alone

riversident@1Thessalonians:3:2 @ and sent Timothy, our brother and God's servant in the good news of Christ, to strengthen and encourage you in your faith,

riversident@1Thessalonians:3:5 @ Therefore, when I could no longer endure the anxiety, I sent to know about your faith for fear that the tempter had tempted you and our labor had gone for nothing.

riversident@1Thessalonians:3:8 @ Now we are living, since you are standing firm in the Lord.

riversident@1Thessalonians:3:9 @ For how can we be grateful enough to God for you in view of all the joy we have because of you,

riversident@1Thessalonians:3:11 @ May our God and Father himself and our Lord Jesus Christ open the way for us to come to you.

riversident@1Thessalonians:3:12 @ The Lord make you to abound and overflow in love toward one another and toward all men, just as we do toward you,

riversident@1Thessalonians:3:13 @ that your hearts may be made firm and you may be blameless in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his holy ones.

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:1 @ TO conclude, brethren, we beg of you and urge you in the Lord Jesus that, as you learned from us how you ought to live to please God, and are living, you will excel still more.

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:2 @ For you know what directions we have given you through the Lord Jesus.

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:3 @ For this is the will of God: to have you become holy and have you shun unchastity;

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:5 @ not in the passion of lust, as the Gentiles do who know not God;

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:6 @ to have no one trespass or take advantage of his brother in this matter; for the Lord is the punisher of all such, as we have already told you and solemnly warned you.

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:10 @ and you do the same to all the brethren in the whole of Macedonia. But we urge you, brethren, to excel still further

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:12 @ Thus you will live becomingly in the sight of outsiders and will have need of nothing.

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:13 @ We do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, regarding those who are sleeping, that you may not sorrow as the rest of men who have no hope.

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:15 @ This we tell you by the word of the Lord: We, the living, who have been left until the coming of the Lord, will not have the start of those who have fallen asleep.

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:16 @ For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel and with God's trumpet-call, and first the dead in Christ will rise.

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:17 @ Then we, the living, who are left, will be caught up along with them into the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall forever be with the Lord.

riversident@1Thessalonians:5:2 @ For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.

riversident@1Thessalonians:5:3 @ When they are saying, "Peace and safety," then sudden destruction is upon them, like the pangs upon a woman with child, and they will not escape.

riversident@1Thessalonians:5:4 @ But you, brethren, are not in darkness so that the day can take you like a thief.

riversident@1Thessalonians:5:6 @ Then let us not be sleeping like the rest of men, but let us watch and be sober.

riversident@1Thessalonians:5:7 @ For those who sleep sleep in the night and those who drink drink in the night.

riversident@1Thessalonians:5:8 @ But let us who are of the day be sober. Let us put on the breastplate of faith and love and for a helmet the hope of salvation.

riversident@1Thessalonians:5:9 @ For God has not destined us to wrath, but to the winning of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

riversident@1Thessalonians:5:12 @ We beg you, brethren, to regard those who are laboring among you and who preside over you in the Lord and give you counsel,

riversident@1Thessalonians:5:14 @ We urge you, brethren, to warn the disorderly, encourage the faint-hearted, help the weak, be patient with all.

riversident@1Thessalonians:5:19 @ Do not quench the Spirit.

riversident@1Thessalonians:5:21 @ Test all things; hold fast the good.

riversident@1Thessalonians:5:23 @ May the God of peace himself make you completely holy, and may your spirits and souls and bodies be kept faultless and blameless for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

riversident@1Thessalonians:5:26 @ Greet all the brethren with a holy kiss.

riversident@1Thessalonians:5:27 @ I solemnly charge you in the Lord's name to have this letter read to all the brethren.

riversident@1Thessalonians:5:28 @ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

riversident@2Thessalonians:1:1 @...the Church of the Thessalonians in...

riversident@2Thessalonians:1:2 @ Grace to you and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

riversident@2Thessalonians:1:3 @ We ought always to thank God for you, brethren, as is fitting, since your faith is growing greatly and the love of each and all of you toward one another is increasing,

riversident@2Thessalonians:1:4 @ so that we ourselves glory in you among the churches of God because of your endurance and faith in all of your persecutions and in the distresses you are bearing.

riversident@2Thessalonians:1:7 @ and to repay to you, who are being troubled, rest with us at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with his mighty angels.

riversident@2Thessalonians:1:8 @ With flaming fire he will inflict vengeance on those who do not know God and do not obey the good news of our Lord Jesus.

riversident@2Thessalonians:1:9 @ They will suffer the penalty of eternal destruction and be sent away from the face of the Lord and from his glorious power,

riversident@2Thessalonians:1:11 @ To this end we are always praying for you that our God will make you worthy of the call, and will by his power bring to completion every one of your kind purposes and works of faith,

riversident@2Thessalonians:1:12 @ that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, according to the grace of our God and of the Lord Jesus Christ.

riversident@2Thessalonians:2:1 @ WITH regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to meet him, I beg you, brethren,

riversident@2Thessalonians:2:2 @ not to be quickly unsettled in mind nor excited by either a revelation or by a message or a letter supposed to be from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord is close at hand.

riversident@2Thessalonians:2:4 @ who opposes and exalts himself above everything called God and every object of worship, so that he enters the Temple of God and seats himself there, declaring that he himself is God.

riversident@2Thessalonians:2:7 @ For the mystery of lawlessness is already working, only there is just now one who is restraining it until he passes out of the way.

riversident@2Thessalonians:2:8 @ And then the Lawless One will be revealed. But the Lord Jesus will sweep him away with the breath of his mouth and will make him powerless by the splendor of his coming.

riversident@2Thessalonians:2:10 @ and in every kind of wicked deception of those who are perishing, because they did not receive the love of the truth so that they might be saved.

riversident@2Thessalonians:2:12 @ that all who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness may be condemned.

riversident@2Thessalonians:2:13 @ We ought always to thank God for you, brethren, beloved by the Lord, because God chose you from the beginning for salvation through the Spirit's making you holy and your own faith in the truth.

riversident@2Thessalonians:2:14 @ To this he called you through the good news that we brought, so that you may share the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

riversident@2Thessalonians:2:15 @ Now then, brethren, stand firm and hold fast the teachings that you have been taught whether by our words or by our letter.

riversident@2Thessalonians:3:1 @ IN conclusion, brethren, pray for us, that the Lord's message may run and be glorified, as among you,

riversident@2Thessalonians:3:2 @ and that we may be saved from the unreasonable and wicked men, for faith does not belong to all.

riversident@2Thessalonians:3:3 @ But the Lord is faithful and he will strengthen you and guard you from evil.

riversident@2Thessalonians:3:4 @ We are persuaded in the Lord in regard to you that you are doing and will do what we direct.

riversident@1Timothy:1:4 @ nor give attention to myths and endless genealogies, which promote disputes rather than God's plan in the faith, so I beg you now.

riversident@1Timothy:1:8 @ We know that the Law is excellent, if any one uses it lawfully.

riversident@1Timothy:1:10 @ for the unchaste, for those who practice unnatural vices, for slave-dealers, liars, perjurers, and for whatever else is contrary to wholesome teaching

riversident@1Timothy:1:11 @ such as accords with the glorious good news of the blessed God, with which I have been entrusted.

riversident@1Timothy:1:14 @ And the grace of our Lord overflowed in me with faith and love in Christ Jesus.

riversident@1Timothy:1:15 @ The saying is trust-worthy and deserving of full acceptance that "Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners," of whom I am the foremost.

riversident@1Timothy:1:16 @ But I received mercy for this reason, that in me, as the foremost, Jesus Christ might show all of his long-suffering for an example for those who are to believe in him and gain life eternal.

riversident@1Timothy:1:17 @ To the King of the ages, the immortal, invisible, only God, be honor and glory for the ages of the ages! Amen.

riversident@1Timothy:1:18 @ This command I lay down for you, my child Timothy, in accordance with the prophecies that came in advance regarding you, in order that armed with them you may wage the noble war,

riversident@1Timothy:2:8 @ I wish, then, that the men offer prayer in every place, lifting up holy hands without wrath or debate.

riversident@1Timothy:2:9 @ Also that the women adorn themselves in becoming dress modestly and discreetly, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly clothes,

riversident@1Timothy:2:14 @ And Adam was not deceived; the woman was deceived and fell into sin.

riversident@1Timothy:3:1 @ THE saying is trustworthy: "If any one aspires to the office of a bishop, he desires a noble work."

riversident@1Timothy:3:7 @ He must have a good reputation with outsiders so as not to fall into reproach and the snare of the Devil.

riversident@1Timothy:5:14 @ I would, therefore, have the younger widows marry, bear children, keep house, give no occasion to our enemies for slander.

riversident@1Timothy:5:16 @ If any woman who is a believer has widows, she must provide for them and the church must not be burdened, so that it may provide for those who are really widows.

riversident@Titus:1:9 @ holding to the trustworthy message which is according to the teaching, so that he may be able also to encourage others by wholesome teaching and to refute opposers.

riversident@Titus:1:10 @ For there are many insubordinate persons, foolish talkers and deceivers, especially those who are of the circumcision,

riversident@Titus:1:11 @ who ought to be silenced, for they are upsetting whole house-holds, teaching what they should not, merely for the sake of base gain.

riversident@Titus:1:15 @ To the pure all things are pure; but to the polluted and unbelieving nothing is pure. Even their minds and consciences are polluted.

riversident@Hebrews:1:1 @ MANY times and in many ways God spoke of old to our fathers by the prophets;

riversident@Hebrews:1:2 @ but at the end of these days he has spoken to us by a Son, whom he has appointed heir of all things and through whom he made the world,

riversident@Hebrews:1:3 @ who is the reflection of his glory and the expression of his nature and sustains all things by his word of power, and who, when he had made purification from sins, took his seat at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

riversident@Hebrews:1:4 @ having become as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited surpasses theirs.

riversident@Hebrews:1:5 @ For to which of the angels did he ever say, "Thou art my son; I have to-day become thy Father"? and again, "I will be to him a Father and he shall be to me a Son"?

riversident@Hebrews:1:6 @ And again when he brings his first-born into the world of men he says, "And let all the angels of God bow down to him."

riversident@Hebrews:1:7 @ Referring to the angels he says, "He makes his angels winds, his servants a flame of fire."

riversident@Hebrews:1:8 @ But regarding the Son he says, "Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever. Thy royal scepter is a scepter of justice.

riversident@Hebrews:1:9 @ Thou lovest righteousness and hatest lawlessness, therefore God, thy God, has anointed thee with the oil of gladness beyond thy companions."

riversident@Hebrews:1:10 @ And, "Thou, in the beginning, O Lord, didst found the earth, and the heavens are works of thy hands.

riversident@Hebrews:1:12 @ and like a mantle thou wilt roll them up. But thou art the same and thy years will never end."

riversident@Hebrews:1:13 @ To which of the angels did he ever say, "Sit at my right hand till I make thine enemies thy footstool"?

riversident@Hebrews:2:1 @ FOR this reason we should give special attention to the things that we have heard, so as not to drift away from them.

riversident@Hebrews:2:2 @ For if the message spoken through angels was sure and every violation and disobedience received merited punishment,

riversident@Hebrews:2:3 @ how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, which at the beginning was spoken by the Lord and was confirmed to us by those who heard him,

riversident@Hebrews:2:4 @ while God added his testimony by signs and wonders and many kinds of miracles and impartation of the Holy Spirit according to his will?

riversident@Hebrews:2:5 @ For he has not subjected to angels the coming world of which we speak.

riversident@Hebrews:2:6 @ But somewhere one says, "What is man that thou rememberest him? Or the son of man that thou carest for him?

riversident@Hebrews:2:7 @ Thou hast made him a little lower than the angels. With glory and honor thou hast crowned him.

riversident@Hebrews:2:9 @ but we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death that by the grace of God he might taste of death for every man, now crowned with glory and honor.

riversident@Hebrews:2:10 @ For it was fitting that he through whom are all things and for whom are all things, when leading many sons to glory, should make the great Leader of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

riversident@Hebrews:2:12 @ saying, "I will tell thy name to my brothers. In the midst of the assembly I will sing praise to thee,"

riversident@Hebrews:2:13 @ and again, "I will trust in him," and again, "Here am I and the children whom God has given me."

riversident@Hebrews:2:14 @ Since then the children share in blood and flesh, he himself in the same way shared in them, in order that through death he might defeat him who had the power of death, that is, the Devil,

riversident@Hebrews:2:16 @ For he does not come to the help of angels, but he comes to the help of the descendants of Abraham.

riversident@Hebrews:2:17 @ And for that reason he had to be made like his brethren in everything, so as to be a compassionate and faithful high priest in things relating to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.

riversident@Hebrews:3:1 @ THEREFORE, holy brethren, sharers in a heavenly call, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Jesus,

riversident@Hebrews:3:3 @ For he has been thought worthy of more glory than Moses, just as he who has built a house has more honor than the house.

riversident@Hebrews:3:5 @ Moses was faithful in all God's house as a servant for a testimony to the things that were to be spoken,

riversident@Hebrews:3:6 @ but Christ as a Son over his own house. We are his house if we hold firmly to the end our confidence and the hope of which we boast.

riversident@Hebrews:3:7 @ Wherefore, as the Holy Spirit says, "To-day if you will hear his voice,

riversident@Hebrews:3:8 @ do not harden your hearts as when they made me angry on the day when they tried me in the desert,

riversident@Hebrews:3:12 @ See to it, brethren, that there shall not be in any one of you a wicked, unbelieving heart ready to forsake the living God,

riversident@Hebrews:3:13 @ but encourage one another daily while it is called "to-day," that no one may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.

riversident@Hebrews:3:14 @ For we become sharers with Christ if we hold firmly to the end the assurance with which we began.

riversident@Hebrews:3:17 @ With whom was he much displeased for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the desert?

riversident@Hebrews:4:1 @ LET us, then, be afraid that, though the promise of entering his rest is still left, some one of you may seem to have missed it.

riversident@Hebrews:4:2 @ For we have received the good news just as they did, but the message that was heard did not benefit them, since it did not meet with faith in the hearers.

riversident@Hebrews:4:3 @ For we who have faith are entering into the rest, as he said, "As I swore in my wrath, 'They shall not enter into my rest,' " although his works had been finished since the creation of the world.

riversident@Hebrews:4:4 @ For he has somewhere spoken of the seventh day thus, "And God rested on the seventh day from all his works,"

riversident@Hebrews:4:6 @ Since, then, it remains for some to enter into it, and those who first received the good news did not enter because of lack of faith \'97

riversident@Hebrews:4:9 @ Therefore there still remains a rest for the people of God.

riversident@Hebrews:4:12 @ For the word of God is living and effective and sharper than any two-edged sword, and it pierces until it divides soul and spirit, joints and marrow, and it judges the thoughts and purposes of the heart.

riversident@Hebrews:4:13 @ There is not a creature invisible to him, but all things are naked and defenseless before the eyes of him to whom we must account.

riversident@Hebrews:4:14 @ Since, then, we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.

riversident@Hebrews:4:16 @ Therefore let us come with confidence to the throne of grace and receive compassion and find grace for timely help.

riversident@Hebrews:5:2 @ He is able to sympathize with the ignorant and the erring, since he himself is beset with weaknesses.

riversident@Hebrews:5:3 @ For this reason he must bring an offering for his own sins, just as he does for those of the people.

riversident@Hebrews:5:5 @ So too Christ did not take for himself the glory of becoming a high priest, but he who said to him, "Thou art my Son, to-day I have become thy Father,"

riversident@Hebrews:5:6 @ and who says in another place, "Thou art a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek."

riversident@Hebrews:5:7 @ Christ, in the days of his flesh, offered prayers and supplications to him who was able to save him from death, with strong outcries and tears, and was heard and saved from his terrors.

riversident@Hebrews:5:9 @ and being thus made perfect he became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey him,

riversident@Hebrews:5:10 @ and was proclaimed by God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek.

riversident@Hebrews:5:12 @ For when, considering the time, you ought to be teachers you need to have some one teach you again the first principles of the revelations of God. You have come to need milk and not solid food.

riversident@Hebrews:5:13 @ For every one who takes milk is inexperienced in the doctrine of righteousness, for he is a child.

riversident@Hebrews:6:2 @ the teaching about baptisms, the laying on of hands, resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment.

riversident@Hebrews:6:4 @ For it is impossible for those who have been once for all enlightened and have tasted the heavenly gift and have become sharers in the Holy Spirit

riversident@Hebrews:6:5 @ and have tasted God's word and the powers of the coming world,

riversident@Hebrews:6:6 @ and then have fallen away, to have again a change of heart, since they are crucifying for themselves afresh the Son of God and putting him to open shame.

riversident@Hebrews:6:7 @ For ground that drinks the rain that comes often upon it and bears plants useful to those for whom it is farmed shares in God's blessing;

riversident@Hebrews:6:8 @ but if it bears thorns and thistles it is judged worthless and is near to being cursed. In the end it will be burnt over.

riversident@Hebrews:6:10 @ For God is not so unjust as to forget your work and the love that you have shown to his name as you have served and are still serving the holy.

riversident@Hebrews:6:11 @ But we desire to have each one of you show to the end the same earnestness for the fulfillment of our hope,

riversident@Hebrews:6:12 @ that you may not be dull, but imitators of those who through faith and patience are inheriting the promises.

riversident@Hebrews:6:13 @ For God, when making the promise to Abraham, since he could swear by no one greater, swore by himself,

riversident@Hebrews:6:16 @ For men swear by the greater and an oath for confirmation is to them the end of all dispute.

riversident@Hebrews:6:17 @ In this case God being abundantly willing to show to the heirs of the promise the unchangeable purpose of his will gave the surety of an oath,

riversident@Hebrews:6:18 @ that by two unchangeable things, in which it was impossible for God to be false, we might have strong encouragement, we who have fled to lay hold on the hope that lies before us.

riversident@Hebrews:6:19 @ We have this hope as an anchor of the soul, sure and firm, and it enters into the tent within the curtain

riversident@Hebrews:6:20 @ where Jesus, our forerunner, has entered in our behalf, becoming forever a high priest after the order of Melchizedek.

riversident@Hebrews:7:1 @ FOR, this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, who met Abraham when he was returning from the defeat of the kings and blessed him,

riversident@Hebrews:7:2 @ and to whom Abraham gave a tenth of all (note:)first, by the translation of his name, "King of Righteousness," and then king of Salem, which means "King of Peace"(:note),

riversident@Hebrews:7:3 @ without father, without mother, without ancestors, without either birthday or end of life, but made like the Son of God, remains a priest permanently.

riversident@Hebrews:7:4 @ But see how great this man was, since Abraham the patriarch gave him a tenth of his choicest spoils.

riversident@Hebrews:7:5 @ And even those of the sons of Levi who attain the priesthood have command according to the Law to take a tenth from the people, their own brethren, although these have sprung from the loins of Abraham.

riversident@Hebrews:7:6 @ But he who had no genealogy from these took a tenth from Abraham and pronounced a blessing on him who had the promises.

riversident@Hebrews:7:7 @ Without dispute the less is blessed by the greater.

riversident@Hebrews:7:8 @ And here mortal men receive tenths, but there one of whom the witness is that he is living.

riversident@Hebrews:7:9 @ And, to put it frankly, Levi, who receives the tenths, was made to pay a tenth through Abraham.

riversident@Hebrews:7:10 @ For he was still in the loins of his father when Melchizedek met Abraham.

riversident@Hebrews:7:11 @ If, then, perfection had been through the Levitical priesthood, \'97 for on the basis of that the people received the Law \'97 what need was there for another kind of priest to arise and not be called of the order of Aaron?

riversident@Hebrews:7:12 @ For when the priesthood has been changed there comes of necessity also a change of law.

riversident@Hebrews:7:13 @ For he of whom these things are said belongs to another tribe, from which no one has ever had anything to do with the altar.

riversident@Hebrews:7:15 @ And this is yet more abundantly evident if after the order of Melchizedek there arises a priest of a different kind

riversident@Hebrews:7:16 @ who has become such, not according to the law of a commandment made for the flesh, but according to the power of unending life.

riversident@Hebrews:7:17 @ For it is affirmed of him, "Thou art a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek."

riversident@Hebrews:7:18 @ There is a setting aside of the earlier commandment because of its weakness and uselessness \'97

riversident@Hebrews:7:19 @ for the Law brought nothing to perfection \'97 and there is the bringing in of a better hope through which we draw near to God.

riversident@Hebrews:7:22 @ by so much better is the covenant of which Jesus has become surety.

riversident@Hebrews:7:26 @ For such was the High Priest that we needed, holy, innocent, unstained, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens.

riversident@Hebrews:7:27 @ He has not the daily need, like the other priests, first to offer sacrifices for his own sins and then for those of the people. This latter he did once for all when he offered himself.

riversident@Hebrews:7:28 @ For the Law makes high priests of men who have infirmities, but the word of the oath, which comes after the Law, makes High Priest of a Son who is perfected forever.

riversident@Hebrews:8:1 @ THE chief point of what I have been saying is this: we have such a High Priest who has taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of Majesty in the heavens,

riversident@Hebrews:8:2 @ and who ministers in the holy place and in the true Tent set up by the Lord, not by man.

riversident@Hebrews:8:4 @ If he were upon the earth he would not be a priest at all, since there are those who offer the gifts according to the Law.

riversident@Hebrews:8:5 @ They minister as an example and shadow of the things in heaven, just as Moses was divinely instructed when he was about to make the Tent. "See," it was said, "that you make everything according to the model shown you on the mountain."

riversident@Hebrews:8:6 @ But now Christ has obtained a ministry as much more excellent as the covenant of which he is mediator is better and based upon better promises.

riversident@Hebrews:8:8 @ But finding fault with it he says, "The days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make for the house of Israel and for the house of Judah a new covenant,

riversident@Hebrews:8:9 @ not in the manner of the covenant which I made with their fathers, on the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt. For they did not abide by my covenant and I ceased to care for them, says the Lord.

riversident@Hebrews:8:10 @ This is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord; I will put my laws into their minds and will write them upon their hearts and I will be their God and they will be my people.

riversident@Hebrews:8:11 @ They shall not teach each one his fellow citizen and each one his brother saying, 'Know the Lord'; for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest of them,

riversident@Hebrews:8:13 @ In saying "new" he has pronounced the first covenant old. But what grows old and decadent is near to disappearance.

riversident@Hebrews:9:1 @ THE first covenant had regulations of worship and its holy building in this world.

riversident@Hebrews:9:2 @ For a Tent was erected, in the first part of which were the lampstand and the table and the consecrated bread. This was called the Holy Place.

riversident@Hebrews:9:3 @ Behind the second curtain was the part called the Holy of Holies.

riversident@Hebrews:9:4 @ It had the golden altar of incense and the ark of the covenant all covered with gold. In this was a golden jar with the manna and Aaron's rod that sprouted and the tablets of the covenant.

riversident@Hebrews:9:5 @ Above it were cherubim of glory overshadowing the place of propitiation. Regarding these things it is not now possible to speak in detail.

riversident@Hebrews:9:6 @ But these things being thus arranged, the priests go constantly into the first part of the Tent, performing their services,

riversident@Hebrews:9:7 @ but into the second part the High Priest alone goes once in the year, not without blood, which he offers for himself and for the sins ignorantly committed by the people.

riversident@Hebrews:9:8 @ The Holy Spirit shows this, that the way into the holy place has not yet been made plain while the first Tent is standing.

riversident@Hebrews:9:9 @ That is a symbol, for the time being, in accordance with which gifts and sacrifices are offered, though they cannot make the worshiper perfect in his conscience,

riversident@Hebrews:9:10 @ since they consist only of foods and drinks and various baths \'97 rules respecting the flesh, imposed until the time of reformation.

riversident@Hebrews:9:11 @ But when Christ came as High Priest of the good things that have come, he entered once for all through the greater and more perfect Tent not made by hands \'97 that is, not of this creation \'97

riversident@Hebrews:9:12 @ and not with the blood of goats and calves, but with his own blood, into the holy place, and thereby found eternal redemption.

riversident@Hebrews:9:13 @ For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling the defiled, makes them holy as regards purity of their flesh,

riversident@Hebrews:9:14 @ how much more will the blood of Christ, who through an eternal Spirit offered himself an unblemished sacrifice to God, cleanse our consciences from dead works for the service of the living God.

riversident@Hebrews:9:15 @ For this reason he is the mediator of a better covenant that, a death having taken place for redemption from sins under the first covenant, those who have been called may receive the eternal inheritance promised to them.

riversident@Hebrews:9:16 @ For where there is a last will and testament the death of the testator must be put in evidence.

riversident@Hebrews:9:17 @ For a will is valid in the case of the dead: it never has any force while the testator is living.

riversident@Hebrews:9:18 @ Hence the first covenant was not introduced without blood.

riversident@Hebrews:9:19 @ When all the commands of the Law had been spoken by Moses to all the people, he took the blood of calves and goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled it on the book and on all the people,

riversident@Hebrews:9:20 @ saying, "This is the blood of the covenant which God has commanded for you."

riversident@Hebrews:9:21 @ And the Tent and all the things used in worship he likewise sprinkled with blood.

riversident@Hebrews:9:22 @ Almost everything is cleansed with blood, according to the Law, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.

riversident@Hebrews:9:23 @ It was necessary, then, that the copies of the things in heaven should be cleansed with these sacrifices, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

riversident@Hebrews:9:24 @ For Christ did not enter into a holy place made by hands, a copy of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear before the face of God in our behalf.

riversident@Hebrews:9:25 @ Nor was it to offer himself often, as the High Priest enters into the holy place every year with blood not his own;

riversident@Hebrews:9:26 @ then he must have suffered often since the foundation of the world. But now, once for all, at the end of the ages, he has appeared to do away with sin by his sacrifice.

riversident@Hebrews:9:28 @ so Christ was once for all offered to bear the sins of many and will appear the second time, apart from sin, to those who are looking for him, and bring them salvation.

riversident@Hebrews:10:1 @ FOR the Law with a shadow of the good things that are coming, but not the very likeness of the things, cannot, by the same sacrifices which they offer constantly every year, ever make perfect those who come,

riversident@Hebrews:10:2 @ since would they not have ceased offering them? Because the worshipers, once for all cleansed, would have had no consciousness of sins.

riversident@Hebrews:10:3 @ But in the sacrifices these are called to mind every year.

riversident@Hebrews:10:4 @ For the blood of bulls and goats is powerless to take away sins.

riversident@Hebrews:10:5 @ Therefore on coming into the world he says, "Sacrifice and offering thou dost not desire: a body thou hast prepared for me.

riversident@Hebrews:10:7 @ Then I said, 'Here I have come \'97 in the roll of the book it is written of me \'97 to do thy will, O God.' "

riversident@Hebrews:10:8 @ He first says, "Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and sin offerings thou dost not desire nor delight in," such as are offered according to the Law,

riversident@Hebrews:10:9 @ and then he says, "Here I have come to do thy will." He takes away the first to establish the second.

riversident@Hebrews:10:10 @ By this "will" we are made holy through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

riversident@Hebrews:10:11 @ Every priest stands daily doing service and offering many times the same sacrifices, although they never can take away sins.

riversident@Hebrews:10:12 @ But this Priest after offering one sacrifice for sins forever, took his seat at the right hand of God,

riversident@Hebrews:10:13 @ for the future only waiting until his enemies are made his footstool.

riversident@Hebrews:10:15 @ The Holy Spirit testifies this to us; for after having said,

riversident@Hebrews:10:16 @ "This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord: I will put my laws in their hearts and on their minds I will write them," he adds,

riversident@Hebrews:10:19 @ Since we have, then, brethren, confidence in entering the holy place through the blood of Jesus,

riversident@Hebrews:10:20 @ by the new and living way which he has made for us through the curtain, that is, his flesh,

riversident@Hebrews:10:21 @ and since we have a great Priest over the house of God,

riversident@Hebrews:10:23 @ Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he is faithful who has promised,

riversident@Hebrews:10:25 @ not neglecting to assemble yourselves, as some do, but encouraging one another, and so much the more, as you see the day drawing near.

riversident@Hebrews:10:26 @ For if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there remains no longer any sacrifice for sins,

riversident@Hebrews:10:27 @ but a dreadful expectation of doom and a fury of fire that will devour the opposers.

riversident@Hebrews:10:28 @ Any one who sets aside a law of Moses dies without pity on the testimony of two or three witnesses.

riversident@Hebrews:10:29 @ Of how much worse punishment do you think he will be judged worthy who has trampled on the Son of God, who has thought the blood of the covenant, by which it was made holy, an unholy thing, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace?

riversident@Hebrews:10:31 @ It is dreadful to fall into the hands of the living God.

riversident@Hebrews:10:32 @ Remember the early days in which, after being enlightened, you endured a great struggle with sufferings,

riversident@Hebrews:10:34 @ For you even suffered with the prisoners and accepted the plundering of your property with joy, knowing that you had a better and enduring possession.

riversident@Hebrews:10:36 @ You have need of patience so that after doing the will of God you may gain the promised blessing.

riversident@Hebrews:11:2 @ By this the men of old won their fame.

riversident@Hebrews:11:3 @ By faith we understand that the worlds came into order at the word of God, so that what is now seen did not come out of things that are visible.

riversident@Hebrews:11:5 @ By faith Enoch was taken from the earth so that he did not see death, and he was not found because God had taken him. For before being taken he had this testimony that he had pleased God.

riversident@Hebrews:11:6 @ But without faith it is impossible to please him. For he who comes to God must have faith that he exists and that he becomes the rewarder of those who seek him.

riversident@Hebrews:11:7 @ By faith Noah, after receiving a divine warning regarding things as yet unseen, reverently built an ark for the saving of his household. Thus he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness of faith.

riversident@Hebrews:11:8 @ By faith Abraham when called obeyed and came out into the place which he was to obtain for an inheritance. He came out not knowing where he was coming.

riversident@Hebrews:11:9 @ By faith he made his home in the promised land as in a foreign country, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise.

riversident@Hebrews:11:10 @ For he was looking for the city that has the foundations, whose architect and builder is God.

riversident@Hebrews:11:11 @ By faith Sarah received power to conceive a child even when past the natural time of life, since she thought him trustworthy who had given the promise.

riversident@Hebrews:11:12 @ And so from just one man, already dead in that respect, there sprang descendants "as the stars of heaven in multitude and as the sand on the seashore innumerable."

riversident@Hebrews:11:13 @ These all died in faith, not having obtained the promised blessings, but they saw them and greeted them afar and confessed that they were strangers and foreigners in the land.

riversident@Hebrews:11:17 @ By faith Abraham when he was tested offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises began offering his only son

riversident@Hebrews:11:19 @ He reasoned that God was able to raise him even from the dead, and figuratively he did win him back from the dead.

riversident@Hebrews:11:21 @ By faith Jacob when dying blessed each of the sons of Joseph and worshiped leaning on the top of his staff.

riversident@Hebrews:11:22 @ By faith Joseph, when at his end, mentioned the departure of the children of Israel and gave orders regarding his own bones.

riversident@Hebrews:11:23 @ By faith Moses at his birth was hidden three months by his parents, because they saw that the child was beautiful, and they did not fear the king's command.

riversident@Hebrews:11:25 @ He chose rather to suffer hard-ship with the people of God than to enjoy the brief pleasure of sin,

riversident@Hebrews:11:26 @ and he thought the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt. For he was looking to the final reward.

riversident@Hebrews:11:27 @ By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the king's anger; for he endured as if seeing him who is unseen.

riversident@Hebrews:11:28 @ By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of the blood, so that the destroyer might not touch their first-born.

riversident@Hebrews:11:29 @ By faith they crossed the Red Sea as on dry land; but the Egyptians when they tried to do so were drowned.

riversident@Hebrews:11:30 @ By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they had been encircled seven days.

riversident@Hebrews:11:31 @ By faith Rahab, the prostitute, did not perish with those who had refused to believe; because she had welcomed the spies with peace.

riversident@Hebrews:11:32 @ And what shall I say further? Time would fail me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, and of David and Samuel and the prophets;

riversident@Hebrews:11:33 @ who through faith struggled against kingdoms and subdued them, did deeds of righteousness, obtained promised blessings, shut the mouths of lions,

riversident@Hebrews:11:34 @ quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness grew strong, became mighty in war, turned back armies of foreigners.

riversident@Hebrews:11:37 @...murdered with the sword. They went...

riversident@Hebrews:11:38 @...not worthy of them. They wandered...

riversident@Hebrews:11:39 @ All these won God's approval by their faith. Yet they did not obtain the fulfillment of the promise.

riversident@Hebrews:12:1 @ THEREFORE, surrounded as we are by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight and the sin that so easily besets us, and let us run with patience the race that lies before us,

riversident@Hebrews:12:2 @ looking to Jesus the beginner and finisher of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured a cross, thinking little of the shame, and has taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of God.

riversident@Hebrews:12:4 @ You have not yet resisted to blood in the contest against sin,

riversident@Hebrews:12:5 @ and you have forgotten the encouragement which reasons with you as with sons, "My son, do not think slightingly of the discipline of the Lord and be not faint-hearted when reproved by him:

riversident@Hebrews:12:6 @ for whom the Lord loves he disciplines and scourges every son whom he receives as his own."

riversident@Hebrews:12:9 @ Besides, we had fathers of our flesh who disciplined us and we used to reverence them. Shall we not much more be submissive to the Father of our spirits and live?

riversident@Hebrews:12:11 @ All discipline for the time being seems not joyous but grievous, but afterward it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have passed through its training.

riversident@Hebrews:12:12 @ So raise the relaxed hands and straighten the unstrung knees

riversident@Hebrews:12:13 @ and make straight paths for your feet, so that the lame limb may not be put out of joint but rather cured.

riversident@Hebrews:12:14 @ Follow after peace with all men and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord.

riversident@Hebrews:12:15 @ Be on your guard that no one shall fail of the grace of God, that no bitter root shall sprout up and trouble you and through it many be stained,

riversident@Hebrews:12:17 @ For you know that afterward when he wished to inherit the blessing he was rejected, for he found no place for a change in his father's mind though he sought it earnestly with tears.

riversident@Hebrews:12:19 @ and the blast of a trumpet and the sound of words which those who heard begged not to have spoken of them.

riversident@Hebrews:12:20 @ For they could not bear the command, "If even an animal touches the mountain it must be stoned."

riversident@Hebrews:12:21 @ And so dreadful was the sight that Moses said, "I am terrified and trembling."

riversident@Hebrews:12:22 @ But you have come to Mount Zion and the city of the living God, heavenly Jerusalem, to tens of thousands of angels,

riversident@Hebrews:12:23 @ to the festal assembly and congregation of first-born who are enrolled in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of righteous men made perfect,

riversident@Hebrews:12:24 @ and to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant and to the sprinkled blood which tells something better than the blood of Abel.

riversident@Hebrews:12:25 @ Beware of rejecting him who is speaking. For if those did not escape who rejected him who taught the divine will on earth, much less shall we if we reject him who speaks from heaven.

riversident@Hebrews:12:26 @ His voice then shook the earth, but now he has announced, "Yet once for all I shall shake not only the earth but also heaven."

riversident@Hebrews:12:27 @ And this expression "yet once for all" shows the removal of the things shaken, as of things that have been made, that the unshaken things may remain.

riversident@Hebrews:13:3 @ Keep in mind the prisoners, as if you were their fellow prisoners, and those who are suffering hardships, since you yourselves are also in the body.

riversident@Hebrews:13:4 @ Let marriage be held in honor by all and let the bed be undefiled; for unchaste persons and adulterers God will judge.

riversident@Hebrews:13:5 @ Let your lives be free from the love of money. Be content with what you have. For he has said, "I will not fail you nor will I forsake you."

riversident@Hebrews:13:8 @ Jesus Christ is yesterday and to-day the same \'97 yes, and through the ages.

riversident@Hebrews:13:9 @ Do not be carried away with all sorts of foreign teachings. It is well to have the heart strengthened by grace, not by special kinds of food. Those who live in that way are not profited.

riversident@Hebrews:13:10 @ We have an altar of which those who worship in the Tent have no right to eat.

riversident@Hebrews:13:11 @ For the bodies of the animals whose blood is brought into the holy place by the High Priest are burned outside the camp.

riversident@Hebrews:13:12 @ For this reason Jesus also, to make the people holy by his own blood, suffered outside the gate.

riversident@Hebrews:13:13 @ Let us go out to him outside the camp and bear the reproaches cast on him.

riversident@Hebrews:13:14 @ For we have here no continuing city, but we are seeking the coming one.

riversident@Hebrews:13:15 @ Through him then let us offer to God always the sacrifice of praise, that is, the fruit of lips that make confession in his name.

riversident@Hebrews:13:19 @ I earnestly beg you to do this that I may be restored to you the sooner.

riversident@Hebrews:13:20 @ May the God of peace, who brought up from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great Shepherd of the sheep through the blood of an eternal covenant,

riversident@James:1:12 @ Blessed is the man who endures trial, for when he has been tested he will gain the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love him.

riversident@James:1:17 @ every good gift and every perfect boon is from above; it descends from the Father of lights, with whom there is no change or shadow caused by turning.

riversident@James:1:18 @ Of his own will he made us his children through the message of truth, so that we might be a sort of first fruits of his creatures.

riversident@James:1:21 @ So lay aside all that is vile and all that remains of malice, and receive with gentleness the implanted message which can save your souls.

riversident@James:1:22 @ Become doers of the message and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

riversident@James:1:23 @ For if one is a hearer of the message and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror.

riversident@James:1:25 @ But he who looks earnestly into the perfect law of liberty and continues to do so, and becomes not a forgetful hearer but a doer of work \'97 that man will be blessed in what he does.

riversident@James:1:27 @ Pure and stainless religion in the sight of God the Father is to visit orphans and widows in their trouble and to keep one's self unspotted from the world.

riversident@James:2:1 @ MY brethren, do not hold the faith of our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with partiality for persons.

riversident@James:2:3 @ and you look up to the man who is wearing the fine clothes and say, "Take this good seat," and say to the poor man, "Stand there," or "Sit under my footstool,"

riversident@James:2:5 @ Listen, my beloved brethren, did not God choose the poor of this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which he has promised to those who love him?

riversident@James:2:6 @ But you have dishonored the poor man. Do not the rich oppress you and drag you before courts?

riversident@James:2:7 @ Do they not speak profanely of the noble name by which you are called?

riversident@James:2:8 @ If you keep the royal law according to the Scripture, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself," you do well.

riversident@James:2:9 @ But if you have partiality, you commit sin and are convicted by the law as law-breakers.

riversident@James:2:10 @ For he who keeps the whole law, but stumbles in one point, has become guilty of all.

riversident@James:2:15 @ If a brother or sister is naked and lacks food for the day

riversident@James:2:16 @ and one of you says to them, "Go in peace, be warmed and fed," but you do not give them what the body needs, what is the good of it?

riversident@James:2:19 @ You have faith that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons have that faith, and they shudder.

riversident@James:2:21 @ Was not Abraham, our father, pronounced righteous because of works when he laid Isaac his son on the altar?

riversident@James:2:23 @ and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, "Abraham had faith in God and it was credited to him for righteousness" and he was called "God's friend."

riversident@James:2:25 @ In the same way was not Rahab, the prostitute, pronounced righteous because of works when she had received the messengers and sent them out by a different road?

riversident@James:2:26 @ For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead.

riversident@James:3:2 @ For in many ways we all stumble. If any one never stumbles in his talk, he is a perfect man, able to bridle also the whole body.

riversident@James:3:3 @ If we put bits into the horses' mouths to make them obey us, we turn about their whole bodies.

riversident@James:3:4 @ See the ships; great as they are and driven by violent winds, they are turned about by a very small rudder wherever the desire of the helmsman chooses.

riversident@James:3:5 @ Just so the tongue is a small member, but boasts of great things. Think how small a fire may be and yet how vast the forest that it may set ablaze.

riversident@James:3:6 @...a world of wickedness. The tongue...

riversident@James:3:7 @ For every kind of wild beasts and birds and reptiles and animals from the sea is tamed and has been tamed by human kind,

riversident@James:3:8 @ but the tongue no man is able to tame. It is a restless evil; it is full of deadly poison.

riversident@James:3:9 @ With it we bless the Lord our Father and with it we curse the men who are made in the image of God.

riversident@James:3:10 @ From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. This, my brethren, should not be so.

riversident@James:3:11 @ Does a spring pour out from the same opening sweet water and bitter?

riversident@James:3:13 @ Who is wise and intelligent among you? Let him show out of the noble life that he lives his works in wise gentleness.

riversident@James:3:14 @ But if you have bitter jealousy and party-spirit in your hearts, do not boast and falsely contradict the truth.

riversident@James:3:17 @ But the wisdom from on high is first pure, then peaceable, fair-minded, easily persuaded, full of compassion and good fruits, impartial, sincere.

riversident@James:3:18 @ The fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.

riversident@James:4:4 @ You adulteresses, do you not know that the friendship of the world is enmity to God? Whoever chooses to be a friend to the world stands as an enemy of God.

riversident@James:4:5 @ Do you think that the Scripture speaks to no purpose? Does the Spirit which he made dwell in us long enviously?

riversident@James:4:6 @...he gives greater grace. Therefore it...

riversident@James:4:7 @ Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the Devil and he will flee from you.

riversident@James:4:10 @ Humble yourselves before the Lord and he will exalt you.

riversident@James:4:11 @ Do not speak against one another, brethren. He who speaks against his brother speaks against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law you are not a doer of the law, but a judge.

riversident@James:5:1 @ COME, now, you rich men, wail and lament over the miseries that are coming upon you.

riversident@James:5:3 @ your gold and silver are rusted over and the rust on them will be an evidence against you and will eat your flesh like fire.

riversident@James:5:4 @ You have laid up treasures in the last days. See, the wages of the laborers who reaped your fields, fraudulently kept back by you, call aloud, and the cries of the harvesters have come into the ears of the Lord of armies.

riversident@James:5:5 @ You have lived luxuriously in the land and have given yourselves up to pleasure. You have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter.

riversident@James:5:6 @ You have condemned, you have murdered, the righteous; he does not resist you.

riversident@James:5:7 @ Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the ground and is patient over it until he receives the early and the late rains.

riversident@James:5:8 @ You too must be patient. Keep your hearts steadfast, for the coming of the Lord is near.

riversident@James:5:9 @...will not be judged. The Judge...

riversident@James:5:10 @ Take, brethren, the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord as an example of patience in suffering evil.

riversident@James:5:11 @ We call them blessed because they endured. You have heard of the patience of Job and have seen the end of the Lord's dealings with him, that the Lord is very tender and compassionate.

riversident@James:5:12 @ Above all things, my brethren, do not swear, either by heaven or by the earth or by any other oath. Let your yes be yes and your no be no, that you may not fall under condemnation.

riversident@James:5:13 @ Is any one of you suffering hardship? Let him pray. Is any one cheerful? Let him sing with the harp.

riversident@James:5:14 @ Is any one of you sick? Let him call in the elders of the church and let them pray over him and anoint him with olive oil in the name of the Lord.

riversident@2Peter:1:1 @ SIMON PETER, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ have been allotted a faith as precious as ours:

riversident@2Peter:1:2 @ Grace be to you and peace be multiplied in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.

riversident@2Peter:1:3 @ Since his divine power has given us all things helpful to life and piety through the knowledge of him who has called us by his own glory and virtue,

riversident@2Peter:1:4 @ and thereby great and precious promises have been granted to us, that through them you may escape the corruption that is in the world through passion and become sharers in the divine nature,

riversident@2Peter:1:8 @ For when you have these in abundance they make you to be neither idle nor fruitless regarding the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

riversident@2Peter:1:11 @ For so entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be richly provided for you.

riversident@2Peter:1:12 @ For this reason I shall always keep reminding you of these things, although you know them and are steadfast in the truth that you have.

riversident@2Peter:1:14 @ since I know that the laying aside of my tent will come soon, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made plain to me.

riversident@2Peter:1:16 @ For we were not following cunningly devised myths when we told you of the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we had been eye-witnesses of his majesty.

riversident@2Peter:1:17 @ For he received from God the Father honor and glory when such words as these were borne to him from the majestic glory, "This is my Son, the Beloved; in him I delight."

riversident@2Peter:1:18 @ And this voice we heard borne from heaven when we were with him on the holy mountain.

riversident@2Peter:1:19 @ Thus have we the words of the prophets confirmed, and you will do well to give attention to them as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts;

riversident@2Peter:1:21 @ for prophecy never came by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.

riversident@2Peter:2:1 @ BUT false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among yourselves, and they will craftily bring in deadly heresies, even disowning the Lord who bought them and bringing on themselves quick ruin.

riversident@2Peter:2:2 @ Many will follow their shameless ways and by these the path of truth will be profanely spoken of.

riversident@2Peter:2:5 @ and did not spare the ancient world, but guarded Noah, a herald of righteousness, and seven others, when he brought the flood on the world of the ungodly;

riversident@2Peter:2:6 @ and if reducing to ashes the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah he condemned them to destruction, making them an example for the godless of what would come upon them,

riversident@2Peter:2:7 @ and rescued righteous Lot worn out by the indecent lives of the lawless, \'97

riversident@2Peter:2:8 @ for that righteous man living among them was tortured day and night in his righteous soul by the sight and hearing of their lawless deeds, \'97

riversident@2Peter:2:9 @ the Lord knows how to rescue the pious from trial and how to keep the wicked under punishment for the day of judgment,

riversident@2Peter:2:11 @ even where angels greater in strength and power do not bring against them an insulting charge before the Lord.

riversident@2Peter:2:13 @...revel in the daytime. They are...

riversident@2Peter:2:15 @ Leaving the straight path they have wandered away following the path of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness.

riversident@2Peter:2:16 @ But he was reproved for his sin; a dumb beast of draught, speaking with human voice, checked the madness of the prophet.

riversident@2Peter:2:17 @ These men are springs without water, storm-driven mists for whom the blackness of darkness is reserved.

riversident@2Peter:2:18 @ For by speaking great empty swelling words they entrap in the passions of the flesh \'97 wanton excesses \'97 those who are nearly escaping from those who live in error.

riversident@2Peter:2:19 @ While they promise them liberty they themselves are the slaves of corruption; for by whatever any one is overcome to that he is enslaved.

riversident@2Peter:2:20 @ For if, after they have escaped the defilement of the world by the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they have been again entangled and overcome, their last state has become worse than the first.

riversident@2Peter:2:21 @ For it would be better for them not to have known the way of righteousness than after knowing it to turn back from the holy commandment that has been committed to them.

riversident@2Peter:2:22 @ That has happened to them which the true proverb says, "The dog returns to his own vomit and the sow after bathing returns to wallowing in the mire."

riversident@2Peter:3:2 @ to arouse your honest minds to recall the predictions of the holy prophets and the commands of your apostles from the Lord and Savior.

riversident@2Peter:3:3 @ First you should know this, that in the last days scoffers will come with their scoffing, living according to their own passions

riversident@2Peter:3:4 @ and saying, "Where is his promised coming? for since the fathers fell asleep all things remain as they have been since the beginning of the creation?"

riversident@2Peter:3:6 @ By these means the world that then was was flooded with water and destroyed.

riversident@2Peter:3:7 @ But the present heavens and the earth are by the same word treasured up and kept for fire on the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.

riversident@2Peter:3:8 @ Do not forget this one thing, beloved, that one day with the Lord is like a thousand years and a thousand years are like one day.

riversident@2Peter:3:9 @ The Lord is not slow about what he has promised, as some think of slowness, but is long-suffering toward us, wishing not to have any perish but to have all come to a change of heart.

riversident@2Peter:3:10 @ But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. On that day the heavens will pass away with a loud noise and the burning elements will be dissolved and the earth and the things in it will not be found.

riversident@2Peter:3:12 @ you who are looking for and hastening toward the coming of the day of God, when the blazing heavens will be dissolved and the burning elements melted?

riversident@2Peter:3:15 @ and regard the long-suffering of our Lord as salvation, as also our beloved brother Paul has written to you, according to the wisdom given to him.

riversident@2Peter:3:16 @ So he writes in all his letters when speaking in them of these things. In those letters are some things hard to understand, and these the unlearned and unsteady twist, as they do the rest of the Scriptures, to their own ruin.

riversident@2Peter:3:17 @ You, then, beloved, since you know these things beforehand, be on your guard not to be led away by the error of the lawless and fall from your own steadfastness,

riversident@2Peter:3:18 @ but grow in grace and in knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory now and to the day of eternity!

riversident@1John:1:1 @ WHAT was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we looked upon and our hands touched \'97 it is about the Word of Life

riversident@1John:1:3 @ what wo have seen and heard we are telling you also, so that you may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ.

riversident@1John:1:5 @ This is the message which we have heard from him and tell to you, God is light and in him is no darkness at all.

riversident@1John:1:6 @ If we say, "We have fellowship with him," and live in darkness, we lie and are not acting the truth.

riversident@1John:1:7 @ 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.

riversident@1John:1:8 @ If we say, "We have no sin," we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.

riversident@1John:2:1 @ MY children, I am writing this to you in order that you may not sin. Even if any one sins, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ, who is righteous.

riversident@1John:2:2 @ And he is an atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only but for those of the whole world.

riversident@1John:2:5 @ But whoever keeps his word, truly in him the love of God has been made perfect. By this we know that we are in him.

riversident@1John:2:7 @...had from the beginning. The old...

riversident@1John:2:8 @ Again I am writing a new command, which is true in him and in you, because the darkness is passing away and the true Light is already shining.

riversident@1John:2:9 @ He who says that he is in the light and hates his brother is in darkness still.

riversident@1John:2:10 @ He who loves his brother remains in the light and there is no stumbling block in him.

riversident@1John:2:11 @ He who hates his brother is in darkness and walks in darkness and knows not where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

riversident@1John:2:13 @ I am writing to you, fathers, because you have come to know him who has been from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have conquered the Evil One. I have written to you, little children, because you have come to know the Father.

riversident@1John:2:14 @ I have written to you, fathers, because you have come to know him who has been from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong and the message of God remains in you and you have conquered the Evil One.

riversident@1John:2:15 @ Do not love the world nor the things that are in the world. If any one loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him;

riversident@1John:2:16 @ for all that is in the world, the passions of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the show and pride of life, is not from the Father, but from the world.

riversident@1John:2:17 @ And the world is passing away with its passions. But he who does the will of God endures forever.

riversident@1John:2:18 @ Little children, it is the last hour, and as you have heard that Antichrist is coming, even now many Antichrists have arisen. By this we know that it is the last hour.

riversident@1John:2:20 @ You have an anointing from the Holy One and you all know.

riversident@1John:2:21 @ I am not writing to you because you do not know the truth, but because you know it and know that no lie is from the truth.

riversident@1John:2:22 @ Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is the Antichrist who denies the Father and the Son.

riversident@1John:2:23 @ No one who denies the Son has the Father either. He who confesses the Son has the Father also.

riversident@1John:2:24 @ Let what you have heard from the beginning remain in you. If what you have heard from the beginning remains in you, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father.

riversident@1John:2:25 @ And this is the promise that he has promised us \'97 the life eternal.

riversident@1John:2:27 @ But as for you, the anointing that you have received from him remains in you and you have no need for any one to teach you, but as his anointing teaches you about all things and is true and is no lie and as it has taught you, you must remain in him.

riversident@1John:3:1 @...And so we are. The reason...

riversident@1John:3:8 @ He who is committing sin is of the Devil, for the Devil has been sinning from the beginning. For this the Son of God appeared \'97 to undo the works of the Devil.

riversident@1John:3:10 @ By this the children of God are plain to see, also the children of the Devil. Every one who is not doing righteousness is not of God, nor is he who does not love his brother.

riversident@1John:3:11 @ For this is the message which you have heard from the beginning, that we must love one another.

riversident@1John:3:12 @ Not like Cain, who was of the Wicked One and killed his brother. And for what reason did he kill him? Because his own deeds were wicked and his brother's righteous.

riversident@1John:3:13 @ Do not be surprised, brethren, if the world hates you.

riversident@1John:3:14 @ We know that we have passed from death into life because we love the brethren. Whoever does not love remains in death.

riversident@1John:3:16 @ By this we have come to know love \'97 that Christ laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

riversident@1John:3:17 @ But if any one has this world's goods and sees his brother in need and shuts away his sympathies from him, how can the love of God remain in him?

riversident@1John:3:19 @ By this we shall know that we are of the truth and shall give confidence to our hearts in his presence,

riversident@1John:3:23 @ And this is his command \'97 to believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another as he has given us command.

riversident@1John:3:24 @ He who keeps his commands remains in God and God remains in him. By this we know that God remains in us \'97 by the Spirit which he has given to us.

riversident@1John:4:1 @ BELOVED, do not trust every spirit, but test the spirits whether they are from God. For many false prophets have come out into the world.

riversident@1John:4:2 @ By this we know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God,

riversident@1John:4:3 @ and no spirit that does not confess Jesus is from God. This is the spirit of Antichrist, which you have heard is coming into the world and is already in the world.

riversident@1John:4:4 @ But you are of God, little children, and have conquered them, because he who is in us is greater than he who is in the world.

riversident@1John:4:5 @ They belong to the world and for that reason they speak as the world speaks and the world listens to them.

riversident@1John:4:6 @ We are of God. Whoever knows God listens to us: whoever is not of God does not listen to us. In this way we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.

riversident@1John:4:9 @ By this the love of God to us was made plain: that God sent his only Son into the world so that we may have life through him.

riversident@1John:4:14 @ We have seen and we bear witness that the Father has sent the Son to be the Savior of the world.

riversident@1John:4:15 @ Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him and he in God.

riversident@1John:4:16 @ We have come to know and have put our trust in the love which God has for us. God is love, and he who remains in love remains in God and God remains in him.

riversident@1John:4:17 @ Thus love has been made perfect with us so that we may have confidence on the day of judgment, because as God is we also are in this world.

riversident@1John:5:1 @ EVERY one who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and every one who loves the father who gave him life loves every one who has received life from that father.

riversident@1John:5:2 @ By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and do his commands.

riversident@1John:5:3 @ For this is the love of God, our keeping his commands. And his commands are not burden-some,

riversident@1John:5:4 @ because all that is born of God conquers the world. And this is the victory that conquers the world, our faith.

riversident@1John:5:5 @ Who is the conqueror of the world but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

riversident@1John:5:6 @ This is he who came through water and blood, Jesus Christ. Not with the water only, but with the water and the blood. And the Spirit is the witness, because the Spirit is the truth.

riversident@1John:5:8 @ For there are three that bear witness, the Spirit and the water and the blood, and the three are in accord.

riversident@1John:5:9 @ If we accept the testimony of men the testimony of God is greater; for this is God's testimony, that he has testified regarding his Son.

riversident@1John:5:10 @ He who believes in the Son of God has the testimony within himself. He who does not believe God has made him a liar; because he has not believed the testimony which God has borne regarding his Son.

riversident@1John:5:11 @ This is the testimony: that God has given to us life eternal and this life is in his Son.

riversident@1John:5:12 @ He who has the Son has life; he who has not the Son of God has not life.

riversident@1John:5:13 @ I am writing this to you so that you may know that you have life eternal, you who believe in the name of the Son of God.

riversident@1John:5:14 @ This is the confidence that we have toward him: that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us.

riversident@1John:5:15 @ And if we know that he hears us when we ask anything, we know that we obtain the things that we have asked of him.

riversident@1John:5:18 @ We know that every one who has been born of God lives without sinning, but he who was born of God keeps him, and the Evil One does not lay hold of him.

riversident@1John:5:19 @ We know that we are of God and the whole world lies in the Evil One.

riversident@1John:5:20 @ We know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding to know him who is true, and we are in him who is true and in his Son, Jesus Christ. This is the true God and life eternal.

riversident@2John:1:1 @ THE Elder to the chosen Lady and her children, whom I love in truth (note:)and not I alone, but also all who have come to know the truth(:note)

riversident@2John:1:2 @ for the sake of the truth which remains in us and will be with us forever:

riversident@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.

riversident@2John:1:4 @ I rejoiced greatly to find some of your children living in truth, as we received command from the Father.

riversident@2John:1:5 @ And now I pray you, Lady, not as if writing a new command for you, but one that we have had from the beginning, let us love one another.

riversident@2John:1:6 @ This is love: to live by his commands. This is the command, as you heard from the beginning that you must live by it.

riversident@2John:1:7 @ For many deceivers have come out into the world and they do not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh. Such a one is the deceiver and the Antichrist.

riversident@2John:1:9 @ Every one who goes forward and does not remain in the teaching of Christ is without God. He who remains in the teaching, he has the Father and the Son.

riversident@2John:1:13 @ The children of your chosen sister send greetings to you.

riversident@3John:1:1 @ THE Elder to Gaius the beloved, whom I love in truth:

riversident@3John:1:3 @ For I rejoiced greatly when brethren came and testified to your truth \'97 that you are living in the truth.

riversident@3John:1:4 @ I have no greater joy than this: to hear that my children are living in the truth.

riversident@3John:1:5 @ Beloved, you do faithfully whatever work you do for the brethren, even when they are strangers,

riversident@3John:1:6 @ and they have testified to your love before the church. You will do well to help them forward on their journey in a manner worthy of God.

riversident@3John:1:7 @ For it was for the Name that they came out, taking nothing from the Gentiles.

riversident@3John:1:8 @ We ought to help such men so as to be fellow workers with the truth.

riversident@3John:1:9 @ I wrote something to the church; but Diotrephes, who desires to be first among them, does not receive us.

riversident@3John:1:10 @ Therefore, if I come I will bring to mind the works that he is doing, accusing us with wicked words, and not satisfied with that, neither does he receive the brethren, and he hinders those who wish to do so and expels them from the church.

riversident@3John:1:12 @ Testimony has been borne to Demetrius by all and by the truth itself. We too bear testimony, and you know that our testimony is true.

riversident@3John:1:14 @...Peace be to you. The friends...

riversident@Jude:1:1 @ JUDE, a servant of Jesus Christ and a brother of James, to those who are in God the Father, beloved, kept for Jesus Christ and called:

riversident@Jude:1:3 @ Beloved, although I have been making every effort to write to you regarding our common salvation, I now find it necessary to write and urge you to contend vigorously for the faith that was once for all delivered to the holy.

riversident@Jude:1:4 @ For certain persons have crept in, who of old were written of as predestined to this doom, godless, changing the grace of our God into profligacy and disowning our only Ruler and Lord, Jesus Christ.

riversident@Jude:1:5 @ I wish to remind you, although you know all things once for all, that the Lord, after saving a people from the land of Egypt, then destroyed those who had no faith;

riversident@Jude:1:6 @ and angels who did not keep their own rank, but left their own abode, he has kept for the judgment of the great day in everlasting chains under blackness of darkness.

riversident@Jude:1:7 @ So Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them, which in the same way gave themselves up to unchastity and the pursuit of unnatural vices, serve as an example while they undergo the punishment of eternal fire.

riversident@Jude:1:8 @ Just so these dreamers defile the flesh, reject government, and speak abusively of glorious beings.

riversident@Jude:1:9 @ But Michael, the arch-angel, when in dispute with the Devil he was arguing about the body of Moses, did not venture to bring against him an abusive judgment, but said, "The Lord rebuke you."

riversident@Jude:1:11 @ Alas for them! for they have traveled in the path of Cain, and for hire have rushed headlong into the error of Balaam, and have perished in the rebellious talk of Korah.

riversident@Jude:1:12 @ These are the hidden reefs in your love-feasts while they feast freely with you without fear, shepherds who care only for themselves, waterless clouds driven by winds, trees in autumn fruitless, twice dead, uprooted,

riversident@Jude:1:13 @ wild waves of the sea foaming out their own shame, wandering stars for which the blackness of darkness is reserved forever.

riversident@Jude:1:14 @ Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these men when he said, "See, the Lord has come with ten thousand of his holy ones

riversident@Jude:1:15 @ to do judgment upon all and to convict all the irreverent of all their deeds of irreverence which they have irreverently done, and of all the hard things which they have spoken against him, irreverent sinners that they are."

riversident@Jude:1:16 @...speak great swelling words. They show...

riversident@Jude:1:17 @ But you, beloved, remember the words which were long ago spoken by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ,

riversident@Jude:1:18 @ how they told you that in the latter time there would be scoffers living according to their own ungodly passions.

riversident@Jude:1:20 @ But you, beloved, building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit,

riversident@Jude:1:21 @ must keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you into life eternal.

riversident@Jude:1:23 @ pull them out of the fire and save them. Others pity with fear, hating even the tunic spotted by the flesh.

riversident@Jude:1:25 @ to the only God our Savior, be, through Jesus Christ our Lord, glory, majesty, might, and authority, before all time and now and for all the ages! Amen.

riversident@Revelation:1:2 @ who bears witness to the message of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ \'97 everything that he saw.

riversident@Revelation:1:3 @ Blessed is he who reads, and blessed are those who hear the words of this prophecy and keep in mind what is written in it; for the time is near.

riversident@Revelation:1:4 @ John to the seven Churches in Asia: Grace be to you and peace from him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven Spirits that are before his throne,

riversident@Revelation:1:5 @ and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the first-born of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us and freed us from our sins by his blood,

riversident@Revelation:1:6 @ and made us a kingdom, priests to God his Father, to him be glory and power for the ages of the ages! Amen.

riversident@Revelation:1:7 @ He is coming with clouds and every eye will see him, even of those who pierced him, and all the tribes of the earth will beat their breasts because of him. Yes, Amen.

riversident@Revelation:1:8 @ says the Lord God,

riversident@Revelation:1:9 @ I, John, your brother and fellow sharer in the distresses and the kingdom and the endurance in Jesus, came to the island called Patmos, for the sake of the message of God and the testimony of Jesus.

riversident@Revelation:1:10 @ I became in the Spirit on the Lord's day and heard behind me a loud voice, as of a trumpet,

riversident@Revelation:1:12 @ I turned to see the voice that was speaking with me, and upon turning I saw seven golden lampstands

riversident@Revelation:1:13 @ and in the midst of the lampstands one like a son of man, clothed in a robe that reached his feet, and girded across the breast with a golden girdle.

riversident@Revelation:1:15 @ and his feet were like fine brass when molten in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of many waters.

riversident@Revelation:1:16 @ He had in his right hand seven stars, and from his mouth there issued a sharp two-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining in full strength.

riversident@Revelation:4:1 @ AFTER this I looked and there was an open door in heaven and the voice that I had heard at first, as if of a trumpet speaking with me, said, "Come up here and I will show you things that must come to pass hereafter."

riversident@Revelation:4:2 @ Immediately I became in the Spirit. A throne was standing in heaven and on the throne One was sitting.

riversident@Revelation:4:3 @ He who was sitting there was in appearance like a jasper stone and a sardius. A rainbow, in appearance like an emerald, encircled the throne.

riversident@Revelation:4:4 @ Around the throne I saw twenty-four thrones and on these thrones twenty-four elders seated, clothed in white garments and with golden crowns on their heads.

riversident@Revelation:4:5 @...burning before the throne. These are...

riversident@Revelation:4:6 @ Before the throne there was as it were a glassy sea, like crystal. Near the throne and around the throne there were four living creatures full of eyes before and behind.

riversident@Revelation:4:7 @ The first living creature was like a lion, the second living creature was like a calf, the third living creature had a face like a man's, and the fourth living creature was like a flying eagle.

riversident@Revelation:4:8 @...are full of eyes. They cease...

riversident@Revelation:4:9 @ And when the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to him who sits on the throne, who lives for the ages of the ages,

riversident@Revelation:4:10 @ the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne and worship him who lives for the ages of the ages, and they cast their crowns before the throne saying,

riversident@Revelation:5:1 @ THEN I saw in the right hand of him who was sitting on the throne a book with writing inside and outside and closely sealed with seven seals.

riversident@Revelation:5:2 @ I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, "Who is worthy to open the book and loose its seals?"

riversident@Revelation:5:3 @ But no one in heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the book or to look into it.

riversident@Revelation:5:4 @ I wept much because no one was found worthy to open the book or to look into it.

riversident@Revelation:5:5 @...me, "Do not weep. The Lion...

riversident@Revelation:5:6 @ Then I saw midway between the throne and the four living creatures and the elders a Lamb standing. He seemed as if he had been slain. He had seven horns and seven eyes which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.

riversident@Revelation:5:7 @ He came and took the book from the right hand of him who was sitting on the throne.

riversident@Revelation:5:8 @ When he took the book the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp and a golden bowl full of incense, which is the prayers of the holy.

riversident@Revelation:5:9 @ Then they sang a new song, saying, "Worthy art thou to take the book and to open its seals, for thou wast slain and didst ransom for God by thy blood men from every tribe and tongue and people and nation,

riversident@Revelation:5:10 @ and hast made them a kingdom of priests to our God, and they shall be kings on the earth."

riversident@Revelation:5:11 @ Then I looked and I heard the voices of many angels encircling the throne and the voices of the four living creatures and of the elders \'97 the number of them was myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands \'97

riversident@Revelation:5:12 @ crying aloud, "Worthy is the Lamb who was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing."

riversident@Revelation:5:13 @ And every creature that is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all creatures in them, I heard saying, "To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor and glory and power for the ages of the ages."

riversident@Revelation:5:14 @ The four living creatures said, "Amen," and the elders fell down and worshiped.

riversident@Revelation:6:1 @ THEN I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals and I heard one of the living creatures say, as if with a voice of thunder, "Come."

riversident@Revelation:6:3 @ When he opened the second seal I heard the second living creature say, "Come."

riversident@Revelation:6:4 @ Then another horse came out. It was fiery red, and to him who was sitting on it was granted to take peace from the earth so that men should kill one another, and a great sword was given to him.

riversident@Revelation:6:5 @ When he opened the third seal I heard the third living creature say, "Come." I looked and there came a black horse, and he who was sitting on it had a pair of scales in his hand.

riversident@Revelation:6:6 @ I heard what seemed a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, "A measure of wheat for a shilling and three measures of barley for a shilling. But do no harm to the oil or the wine."

riversident@Revelation:6:7 @ When he opened the fourth seal I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, "Come."

riversident@Revelation:6:8 @...a pale yellow horse. The name...

riversident@Revelation:6:9 @ When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the sake of God's message and because of the testimony which they had borne.

riversident@Revelation:6:10 @ They cried with a loud voice, saying, "How long, O Ruler holy and true, wilt thou delay to judge and take vengeance for our blood upon those who dwell on the earth?"

riversident@Revelation:6:11 @ To each of them a white robe was given, and it was said to them that they must wait quietly yet a little while until the number of their fellow servants and their brethren was complete, who were yet to be killed as they had been.

riversident@Revelation:6:12 @ I saw when he opened the sixth seal and there came a great earthquake and the sun became black, like sackcloth of hair, and the moon became all like blood

riversident@Revelation:6:13 @ and the stars of heaven fell to the ground, as a fig tree drops its unripe figs when shaken by a strong wind,

riversident@Revelation:6:14 @ and the sky passed away like a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place.

riversident@Revelation:6:15 @ Then the kings of the earth and the great men and the generals and the rich and the strong and every slave and freeman hid themselves in the caves and the rocks of the mountains

riversident@Revelation:6:16 @ and said to the mountains and the rocks, "Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb,

riversident@Revelation:6:17 @ for the day, the great day, of their wrath has come and who can stand?"

riversident@Revelation:7:1 @ AFTER this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, so that no wind might blow on the land or on the sea or on any tree.

riversident@Revelation:7:2 @ Then I saw another angel ascending from the east, with the seal of the living God. He cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it had been granted to harm the land and the sea

riversident@Revelation:7:3 @ and said, "Do not harm the land or the sea or any tree until we seal the servants of our God on their foreheads."

riversident@Revelation:7:4 @ I heard the number of those who were sealed, a hundred and forty-four thousand, sealed from every tribe of the sons of Israel:

riversident@Revelation:7:5 @ Of the tribe of Judah, twelve thousand sealed, Of the tribe of Reuben, twelve thousand, Of the tribe of Gad, twelve thousand,

riversident@Revelation:7:6 @ Of the tribe of Asher, twelve thousand, Of the tribe of Naphtali, twelve thousand, Of the tribe of Manasseh, twelve thousand,

riversident@Revelation:7:7 @ Of the tribe of Simeon, twelve thousand, Of the tribe of Levi, twelve thousand, Of the tribe of Issachar, twelve thousand,

riversident@Revelation:7:8 @ Of the tribe of Zebulon, twelve thousand, Of the tribe of Joseph, twelve thousand, Of the tribe of Benjamin, twelve thousand.

riversident@Revelation:7:9 @ After this I looked and there was a great multitude which no one could count, out of all nations and tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb clothed in white robes and with palms in their hands,

riversident@Revelation:7:10 @ and they shouted with a loud voice saying, "Salvation to our God who sits upon the throne and to the Lamb!"

riversident@Revelation:7:11 @ And all the angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God

riversident@Revelation:7:12 @ saying, "Amen. Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and strength be to our God for the ages of the ages! Amen."

riversident@Revelation:7:13 @ Then one of the elders spoke to me and said, "These who wear the white robes \'97 who are they and where have they come from?"

riversident@Revelation:7:14 @ I said to him, "My Lord, you know." He said to me, "These have come out of the great distress and have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

riversident@Revelation:7:15 @ For this reason they are before the throne of God and worship him day and night in his Temple, and he who sits on the throne will spread his tent over them.

riversident@Revelation:7:16 @ They will not hunger any more nor thirst any more, nor will the sun strike on them nor any burning heat,

riversident@Revelation:7:17 @ for the Lamb who is in the center before the throne will be their shepherd and will lead them to springs of living water, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."

riversident@Revelation:8:1 @ WHEN he opened the seventh seal there came a silence in heaven for about half an hour.

riversident@Revelation:8:2 @ Then I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them.

riversident@Revelation:8:3 @ Another angel came and stood at the altar with a golden censer, and much incense was given to him for him to put with the prayers of all the holy on the golden altar before the throne.

riversident@Revelation:8:4 @ The smoke of the incense from the hand of the angel went up with the prayers of the holy before God.

riversident@Revelation:8:5 @ Then the angel took the censer and filled it from the fire of the altar and cast it to the earth, and there were thunders and voices and lightnings and an earthquake.

riversident@Revelation:8:6 @ Then the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound them.

riversident@Revelation:8:7 @ The first sounded his trumpet and there came hail and fire mixed with blood, and it was hurled upon the earth. A third of the earth was burned up and a third of the trees were burned up and all green grass was burned up.

riversident@Revelation:8:8 @ The second angel sounded his trumpet and, as it were, a great mountain burning with fire was hurled into the sea. A third of the sea became blood

riversident@Revelation:8:9 @ and a third of the creatures in the sea, those that had life, died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.

riversident@Revelation:8:10 @ The third angel sounded his trumpet and there fell from heaven a great star burning like a torch. It fell upon a third of the rivers and upon the springs of water.

riversident@Revelation:8:11 @...star is called Wormwood. Then a...-wood, and many people died from the waters because they had been made bitter.

riversident@Revelation:8:12 @ The fourth angel sounded his trumpet and a blight fell upon a third part of the sun and a third part of the moon and a third part of the stars, so that a third part of them was darkened, and the day had no light for a third part of it, and the night was darkened in the same way.

riversident@Revelation:8:13 @ Then I looked and I heard an eagle that was flying in mid-heaven say with a loud voice, "Woe, woe, woe to those who are living on the earth, because of the rest of the trumpet-blasts which the three angels are soon to sound!"

riversident@Revelation:9:1 @...heaven to the earth. There was...

riversident@Revelation:9:2 @ And he opened the pit of the abyss and smoke came up from the pit like the smoke of a great furnace, and the sun was darkened and the air also by the smoke of the pit.

riversident@Revelation:9:3 @ Out of the smoke came locusts upon the earth, and power was given to them such as earthly scorpions have.

riversident@Revelation:9:4 @ It was said to them that they should not harm the grass of the earth nor anything green nor any tree, but only the people that did not have the seal of God on their foreheads.

riversident@Revelation:9:5 @...torment them five months. Their torture...

riversident@Revelation:9:7 @ The appearance of the locusts was like that of horses equipped for battle. On their heads were, as it were, crowns like gold, and their faces were like human faces.

riversident@Revelation:9:8 @...the hair of women. Their teeth...

riversident@Revelation:9:9 @...like breastplates of iron. The noise...-horsed chariots rushing into battle.

riversident@Revelation:9:11 @ They have over them a king, the angel of the abyss, whose name (note:)Destroyer(:note) is in Hebrew Abaddon, but in Greek Apollyon.

riversident@Revelation:9:13 @ The sixth angel sounded his trumpet and I heard a voice from the horns of the golden altar before God

riversident@Revelation:9:14 @ saying to the sixth angel with the trumpet, "Loose the four angels that are chained at the great river Euphrates."

riversident@Revelation:9:15 @ So the four angels were loosed, they who were prepared for the hour and day and month and year to kill a third of men.

riversident@Revelation:9:16 @ The number of the troops of cavalry was twice ten thousand times ten thousand. I heard their number.

riversident@Revelation:9:17 @...blue, and sulphur yellow. The heads...

riversident@Revelation:9:18 @ By these three plagues a third of men were killed \'97 by the fire and the smoke and the sulphur that came out of their mouths.

riversident@Revelation:9:19 @ For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails. For their tails are like serpents with heads, and with these they do injury.

riversident@Revelation:9:20 @ But the rest of men, who were not killed by these plagues, neither repented of the deeds of their hands nor ceased worshiping the demons and their idols of gold and silver and brass and stone and wood, which can neither see nor hear nor walk,

riversident@Revelation:10:1 @ THEN I saw another strong angel descending from heaven. He was clothed in a cloud and the rainbow was over his head. His face was like the sun and his legs were like pillars of fire.

riversident@Revelation:10:2 @ He had in his hand a little book open. He set his right foot on the sea and his left on the land

riversident@Revelation:10:3 @ and shouted with a loud voice like the roar of a lion. When he had shouted the seven thunders spoke, each its own message.

riversident@Revelation:10:4 @ When the seven thunders had spoken I was about to write. But I heard a voice from heaven saying, "Seal up what the seven thunders have spoken and do not write it."

riversident@Revelation:10:5 @ Then the angel whom I had seen standing on the sea and on the land lifted his right hand to heaven

riversident@Revelation:10:6 @ and swore by him who lives for the ages of the ages, who formed heaven and all things in it and the earth and all things upon it and the sea and all things in it, "There shall be no more delay,

riversident@Revelation:10:7 @ but in the days of the blast of the seventh angel, when he soon shall sound his trumpet, then the mystery of God has been finished, according to the good news that he gave to his servants the prophets."

riversident@Revelation:10:8 @ Then the voice which I had heard from heaven spoke again with me and said, "Go, take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land."

riversident@Revelation:10:9 @ So I went to the angel and told him to give me the little book. He said to me, "Take it and eat it. It will make your stomach bitter, though in your mouth it will be sweet like honey."

riversident@Revelation:10:10 @ I took the little book from the hand of the angel and ate it, and in my mouth it was sweet like honey, but after I had eaten it my stomach was made bitter.

riversident@Revelation:11:1 @ THEN a reed like a measuring stick was given to me with the words, "Rise and measure the Temple of God and the altar and those who are worshiping at it.

riversident@Revelation:11:2 @ But the court outside the Temple omit and do not measure it, for it has been given over to the Gentiles and they will trample down the holy city forty-two months.

riversident@Revelation:11:4 @ They are the two olive trees and the two lampstands which stand before the Lord of the earth.

riversident@Revelation:11:6 @ They have power to shut up heaven so that no rain shall fall during the days that they are prophesying, and they have power over the waters to turn them into blood and power to smite the earth with every kind of plague as often as they please.

riversident@Revelation:11:7 @ When they have completed their testimony, the Beast that is coming up out of the abyss will make war with them and conquer them and kill them.

riversident@Revelation:11:8 @ Their corpses will lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified.

riversident@Revelation:11:10 @ Those who live on the earth will rejoice over them and make merry and send gifts to one another, because the two prophets tormented those who live on the earth."

riversident@Revelation:11:11 @...stood on their feet. Then great...

riversident@Revelation:11:12 @ They heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, "Come up here," and they went up into heaven in the cloud while their enemies were looking at them.

riversident@Revelation:11:13 @...killed by the earthquake. The rest...

riversident@Revelation:11:14 @ The second Woe has passed: the third Woe will come soon.

riversident@Revelation:11:15 @ The seventh angel sounded his trumpet and there came loud voices in heaven saying, "The kingship of the world has become our Lord's and his Christ's and he will be king for the ages of the ages."

riversident@Revelation:11:16 @ Then the twenty-four elders who sit on their thrones before God fell on their faces and worshiped God,

riversident@Revelation:11:18 @ The Gentiles raged, but thy wrath came and the time to judge the dead and to give the reward to thy servants the prophets and to the holy who reverence thy name, the small and the great, and to destroy those who are destroying the earth."

riversident@Revelation:11:19 @ Then the Temple of God in heaven was opened and the ark of his covenant in his temple was seen in his temple, and there came lightnings and voices and thunders and an earthquake and a great hailstorm.

riversident@Revelation:12:1 @...clothed with the sun. The moon...

riversident@Revelation:12:2 @ She was with child and cried out in the pangs and anguish of child-birth.

riversident@Revelation:12:4 @...them to the ground. The Dragon...

riversident@Revelation:12:5 @...a rod of iron. Then the...

riversident@Revelation:12:6 @ The woman fled into the wilderness where she has from God a prepared place, that they may nourish her there a thousand two hundred and sixty days.

riversident@Revelation:12:7 @...fought with the Dragon. The Dragon...

riversident@Revelation:12:9 @ Then was hurled down the great Dragon, the ancient serpent who is called the Devil and Satan, who misleads the whole world \'97 he was hurled to the earth and his angels were hurled with him.

riversident@Revelation:12:10 @ I heard a loud voice in heaven say, "Now has come the salvation and power and kingship of our God and the authority of his Christ, because the accuser of our brethren has been hurled down, he who accuses them before our God day and night.

riversident@Revelation:12:11 @ But they have conquered him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of testimony to him, and they loved not their lives even to death.

riversident@Revelation:12:12 @ Therefore, rejoice, O heavens, and you who tent in them! Alas for the land and the sea! For the Devil has gone down to you in great wrath, knowing that he has but a little time."

riversident@Revelation:12:13 @ When the Dragon saw that he had been hurled to the earth he pursued the woman who had given birth to the man-child.

riversident@Revelation:12:14 @ Then there were given to the woman two wings of a great eagle to fly into the wilderness to her place, where she shall be fed for a time and times and half a time, hidden from the view of the Serpent.

riversident@Revelation:12:15 @ The Serpent poured from his mouth after the woman water like a river, to sweep her away with a flood.

riversident@Revelation:12:16 @ But the earth helped the woman and the earth opened its mouth and drank up the river that the Dragon had poured out of his mouth.

riversident@Revelation:12:17 @ Then the Dragon was enraged against the woman and went away to make war with the rest of her offspring who keep the commands of God and hold the testimony concerning Jesus.

riversident@Revelation:13:1 @ THEN I stood on the sand of the sea and I saw rising out of the sea a Beast with ten horns and seven heads. On his horns were ten diadems and upon his heads were profane names.

riversident@Revelation:13:2 @...mouth of a lion. The Dragon...

riversident@Revelation:13:3 @...mortal wound was healed. The whole...

riversident@Revelation:13:4 @ and they worshiped the Dragon because he had given such power to the Beast, and they worshiped the Beast, saying, "Who is like the Beast, and who can battle with him?"

riversident@Revelation:13:7 @ It was granted to the Beast to make war with the holy and to conquer them, and power was granted to him over every tribe and people and tongue and nation.

riversident@Revelation:13:8 @ All the inhabitants of the earth will worship him, all whose names have not been written from the foundation of the world in the slain Iamb's Book of Life.

riversident@Revelation:13:10 @ If any one is destined to captivity, into captivity he will go. If any one is to be killed by the sword, by the sword must he be killed. Here is the endurance and the faith of the holy.

riversident@Revelation:13:11 @ Then I saw another Beast coming up out of the land. It had two horns like those of a lamb, but it spoke like a dragon.

riversident@Revelation:13:12 @ It exercises all the authority of the first Beast in his presence. It compels the earth and its inhabitants to worship the first Beast whose mortal wound was healed.

riversident@Revelation:13:13 @ It does great signs, making fire descend from heaven to earth in the sight of men.

riversident@Revelation:13:14 @ It leads astray the inhabitants of the earth because of the signs which it has been granted power to do in the presence of the Beast. It tells the inhabitants of the earth to make an image of the Beast which was wounded by the sword, yet lived.

riversident@Revelation:13:15 @ Power was granted to it to give breath to the image of the Beast, so that the image of the Beast spoke and it caused all who did not worship the image of the Beast to be put to death.

riversident@Revelation:13:17 @ so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark \'97 the name of the Beast or the number of his name.

riversident@Revelation:13:18 @ Here wisdom is required. Let him who has understanding count the number of the Beast; for it is the number of a man. His number is six hundred and sixty-six.

riversident@Revelation:14:1 @ THEN I looked and there was a Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with him a hundred and forty-four thousand who had his name and the name of his Father written on their fore-heads.

riversident@Revelation:14:2 @...sound of loud thunder. The sound...

riversident@Revelation:14:3 @ They sang a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders. No one could learn the song except the hundred and forty-four thousand who had been ransomed from the earth.

riversident@Revelation:14:4 @...Lamb wherever he goes. They were...-fruits for God and the Lamb.

riversident@Revelation:14:6 @ Then I saw another angel flying in mid-heaven having eternal good news to proclaim to those who dwell on the earth, to every nation and tribe and tongue and people.

riversident@Revelation:14:7 @ He said in a loud voice, "Reverence God and give glory to him, for the hour of his judgment has come, and worship him who made heaven and earth and sea and springs of water."

riversident@Revelation:14:8 @ Another angel, a second, followed, saying, "Babylon the great has fallen, has fallen, she who has made all the nations drink of the wine of her passion for unchastity."

riversident@Revelation:14:9 @ Another angel, a third, followed them, saying in a loud voice, "If any one worships the Beast and his image and receives his mark on his forehead and on his hand,

riversident@Revelation:14:10 @ he also will drink of the wine of God's passion which has been mixed undiluted in the cup of his wrath, and he will be tortured in fire and brimstone in the presence of holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb.

riversident@Revelation:14:11 @ And the smoke of their torture will ascend for ages of ages and they will have no rest day or night \'97 those who worship the Beast and his image, and any one who receives the mark of his name."

riversident@Revelation:14:12 @ Here is the endurance of the holy who keep the commands of God and the faith of Jesus.

riversident@Revelation:14:13 @ Then I heard a voice from heaven saying, "Write: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord henceforth." "Yes," says the Spirit, "that they may rest from their toils. For their works follow with them."

riversident@Revelation:14:14 @ Then I looked and there was a white cloud, and sitting on the cloud was one like a son of man. He had on his head a golden crown and in his hand a sharp sickle.

riversident@Revelation:14:15 @ Another angel came out of the Temple and shouted with a loud voice to him who was sitting on the cloud, "Thrust in your sickle and reap, for the hour to reap has come, for the harvest of the earth is dry."

riversident@Revelation:14:16 @ He who was sitting on the cloud swung his sickle over the earth and the earth was reaped.

riversident@Revelation:14:17 @ Then another angel came out from the Temple that is in heaven and he too had a sharp sickle.

riversident@Revelation:14:18 @ Another angel came out from the altar, he who has power over fire, and he called with a loud voice to him who had the sharp sickle, "Thrust in your sharp sickle and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, for its grapes are fully ripe."

riversident@Revelation:14:19 @ Then the angel swung his sickle to the earth and gathered the vintage of the earth and flung it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.

riversident@Revelation:14:20 @ The winepress was trodden outside the city and blood came out from the wine-press as high as the horses' bridles for a thousand and six hundred furlongs.

riversident@Revelation:15:1 @ THEN I saw another sign in heaven. It was great and wonderful \'97 seven angels with the seven plagues which are the last, for with them the wrath of God is fully executed.

riversident@Revelation:15:2 @ Then I saw what was like a sea of glass mixed with fire, and those who had come victorious from the Beast and his image and the number of his name standing by the glassy sea with harps of God.

riversident@Revelation:15:3 @ They were singing the song of Moses the servant of God and the song of the Lamb, saying: "Great and wonderful are thy works, Lord God Almighty. Just and true are thy ways, O King of the nations.

riversident@Revelation:15:4 @ Who will not reverence and glorify thy name, O Lord? For thou only art holy. All the nations will come and worship before thee, because thy righteous acts have been made manifest."

riversident@Revelation:15:5 @ After this I looked and the Temple of the Tent of testimony in heaven was opened,

riversident@Revelation:15:6 @ and the seven angels with the seven last plagues came out of the Temple, clothed in pure shining linen and girded around their breasts with golden girdles.

riversident@Revelation:15:7 @ One of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls filled with the wrath of God who lives for the ages of the ages.

riversident@Revelation:15:8 @ The Temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from his power, and no one could enter the Temple until the seven plagues of the seven angels were finished.

riversident@Revelation:16:1 @ THEN I heard a loud voice saying from the Temple to the seven angels, "Go and pour out the seven bowls of the wrath of God upon the earth."

riversident@Revelation:16:2 @ The first went away and poured his bowl upon the land, and there came an evil and malignant ulcer on the men who had the mark of the Beast and those who worshiped its image.

riversident@Revelation:16:3 @ The second angel poured out his bowl upon the sea, and it became blood like that of a dead man and every living thing that was in the sea died.

riversident@Revelation:16:4 @ The third angel poured out his bowl upon the rivers and the springs of water, and they became blood.

riversident@Revelation:16:5 @ Then I heard the angel of the waters saying, "Just art thou who art and wast, the Holy One, because thou hast so judged,

riversident@Revelation:16:6 @...them blood to drink. They deserve...

riversident@Revelation:16:7 @ Then I heard the altar saying, "Yes, O Lord God Almighty, true and just are thy judgments."

riversident@Revelation:16:8 @ The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was granted to him to scorch men with fire.

riversident@Revelation:16:9 @ Men were scorched with great heat and they insulted the name of God who had power over these plagues, but they did not repent and give him glory.

riversident@Revelation:16:10 @ The fifth angel poured out his bowl upon the throne of the Beast, and his kingdom became darkened and men bit their tongues from pain

riversident@Revelation:16:11 @ and insulted the God of heaven for their pains and their ulcers, but they did not repent of their deeds.

riversident@Revelation:16:12 @ The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up to make a road ready for the kings from the sunrising.

riversident@Revelation:16:13 @ Then I saw come out of the mouth of the Dragon and out of the mouth of the Beast and out of the mouth of the False Prophet three impure spirits like frogs.

riversident@Revelation:16:14 @ They are the spirits of demons who work miracles, and they go forth to the kings of the whole habitable world to gather them for the battle of the great day of God the Almighty.

riversident@Revelation:16:16 @ The spirits gathered them to the place called in Hebrew Har-Magedon.

riversident@Revelation:16:17 @ The seventh angel poured out his bowl on the air, and a loud voice came from the Temple, from the throne, saying, "It is done!"

riversident@Revelation:16:18 @ Then came lightnings and voices and thunders and a great earthquake. So great an earthquake has not occurred since man came upon the earth.

riversident@Revelation:16:19 @...of the Gentiles fell. Then Babylon...\'97 to give to her the cup of the wine of his fierce wrath.

riversident@Revelation:16:20 @ Every island fled and the mountains were not found.

riversident@Revelation:16:21 @ And great hailstones each weighing about a hundred pounds fell from heaven on men. Men insulted God because of the hail, for the plague of it was great.

riversident@Revelation:17:1 @ THEN came one of the seven angels that had the seven plagues and spoke with me. He said, "Come here. I will show you the doom of the great prostitute who sits on many waters

riversident@Revelation:17:2 @ and with whom the kings of the earth have committed lewdness, while the inhabitants of the earth have become drunk with the wine of her lewdness."

riversident@Revelation:17:3 @...Spirit into a wilderness. There I...

riversident@Revelation:17:4 @ The woman was clothed in purple and scarlet and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls. She had in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of her lewdness.

riversident@Revelation:17:5 @ On her forehead was written a mysterious name: "Babylon the Great, the Mother of Prostitutes and of the abominations of the earth."

riversident@Revelation:17:6 @ I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the holy and with the blood of the witnesses for Jesus. When I saw her I wondered greatly.

riversident@Revelation:17:7 @ The angel said to me, "Why do you wonder? I will tell you the mystic meaning of the woman and the beast with seven heads and ten horns that carries her.

riversident@Revelation:17:8 @ The Beast which you saw was and is not and will soon come up out of the abyss and go into destruction. And the inhabitants of the earth whose names have not been written from the foundation of the world in the Book of Life will be amazed when they see the Beast that was and is not and will be.

riversident@Revelation:17:9 @ Here is need for a mind that has wisdom. "The seven heads are seven mountains upon which the woman sits.

riversident@Revelation:17:10 @ Also they are seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come; but when he comes he must stay but a little while.

riversident@Revelation:17:11 @ The Beast which was and is not is also himself an eighth, yet is one of the seven, and will go into destruction.

riversident@Revelation:17:12 @ The ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have not yet received kingly power, but they will receive power as kings for one hour with the Beast.

riversident@Revelation:17:13 @ They have one mind and they give over their power and authority to the Beast.

riversident@Revelation:17:14 @...and King of kings. They who...

riversident@Revelation:17:15 @ He said to me, "The waters that you saw where the prostitute was sitting are peoples and crowds and nations and tongues.

riversident@Revelation:17:16 @ The ten horns that you saw and the Beast \'97 they hate the prostitute and will make her desolate and naked and they will devour her flesh and will burn her up with fire.

riversident@Revelation:17:17 @ For God has put it in their hearts to carry out his purpose, which is that they shall carry out one purpose and give their royal power to the Beast until the words of God are fulfilled.

riversident@Revelation:17:18 @ The woman that you saw is the great city that has kingly power over the kings of the earth."

riversident@Revelation:18:1 @ AFTER this I saw another angel descending from heaven with great power, and the earth was lit up with his splendor.

riversident@Revelation:18:2 @ He shouted with a powerful voice, saying, "Babylon the Great has fallen, has fallen, and has become a habitation of demons and a stronghold of every impure spirit and a stronghold of every unclean and detested bird.

riversident@Revelation:18:3 @ For all the nations have drunk of the wine of her passion for lewdness and the kings of the earth have committed lewdness with her and by the excess of her luxury the merchants of the earth have grown rich."

riversident@Revelation:18:6 @ Repay to her as she has paid, and make it double for her deeds. In the cup she mixed mix double for her.

riversident@Revelation:18:7 @ As much as she glorified herself and played the wanton, so much give her torture and woe. For in her heart she says, 'I sit here a queen; no widow am I and woe I shall not see.'

riversident@Revelation:18:8 @ For this reason in one day her plagues will come, death and woe and famine, and she shall be burned up in fire. For strong is the Lord God who has judged her.

riversident@Revelation:18:9 @ "The kings of the earth who have committed lewdness with her and have reveled luxuriously, when they see the smoke of her burning, will wail and beat their breasts.

riversident@Revelation:18:10 @ Standing afar because of their dismay at her torture, they will say, 'Alas, alas, O great city, Babylon the strong city, for in one hour your doom has come!'

riversident@Revelation:18:11 @ The merchants of the earth will weep and wail over her, for no one will any longer buy their cargoes,

riversident@Revelation:18:14 @ The ripe fruits for which your soul longed have gone from you, and all your dainty and splendid things are lost to you and they will never more be found.

riversident@Revelation:18:16 @ and saying: 'Alas, alas, for the great city, clothed in fine linen and purple and scarlet and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls!

riversident@Revelation:18:17 @ For in one hour this vast wealth has given place to desolation.' " Every ship captain and every one who sails anywhere, and sailors and all who gain their living on the sea, stood afar

riversident@Revelation:18:18 @ and shouted as they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, "What city could compare with the great city?"

riversident@Revelation:18:19 @ They threw dust upon their heads and shouted as they wept and wailed, saying, "Alas, alas, for the great city in which all who had ships on the sea grew rich from her wealth! For in an hour she has been desolated.

riversident@Revelation:18:20 @ Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you the holy and you apostles and prophets! For God has pronounced sentence in your behalf against her."

riversident@Revelation:18:21 @ Then one strong angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and hurled it into the sea, saying, "With such violence shall Babylon the great city be hurled down and she will never more be found.

riversident@Revelation:18:22 @ The music of harpers and musicians and flute-...be found in you. The sound...

riversident@Revelation:18:23 @...more shine in you. The voices...

riversident@Revelation:18:24 @ In her was found the blood of prophets and of holy men and of all who had been slain on the earth."

riversident@Revelation:19:1 @ AFTER this I heard what seemed the loud voices of a great multitude in heaven saying, "Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God,

riversident@Revelation:19:2 @ for true and just are his judgments. He has judged the great prostitute who was corrupting the earth with her lewdness and he has avenged on her the blood of his servants."

riversident@Revelation:19:3 @ Again they shouted, "Hallelujah! Her smoke will ascend for the ages of the ages."

riversident@Revelation:19:4 @ Then the twenty-four elders fell down and the four living creatures worshiped God who sits on the throne, saying, "Amen! Hallelujah!"

riversident@Revelation:19:5 @ A voice came from the throne saying, "Praise our God, all of you his servants who reverence him, both small and great."

riversident@Revelation:19:6 @ Then I heard what seemed like the voices of a great multitude, like the sound of many waters, like the sound of mighty thunders, saying, "Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty is king.

riversident@Revelation:19:7 @ Let us rejoice and be glad and give glory to him; for the marriage of the Lamb has come and his bride has prepared herself

riversident@Revelation:19:8 @ and it has been granted to her to be clothed in fine linen shining and pure." For the fine linen is the righteous acts of the holy.

riversident@Revelation:19:9 @ Then he said to me, "Write: Blessed are they who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!" He said to me, "These are the true words of God."

riversident@Revelation:19:10 @ Then I fell down at his feet and worshiped him. But he said to me, "No, no. I am a fellow servant of yours and of your brethren who hold the testimony to Jesus. Worship God. For testimony to Jesus is the spirit of prophecy."

riversident@Revelation:19:13 @...name has been called The Word...

riversident@Revelation:19:14 @ The armies that are in heaven follow him on white horses clothed in fine linen white and clean.

riversident@Revelation:19:15 @ From his mouth issues a sharp sword to smite the nations. He will shepherd them with a rod of iron, and he treads the winepress of the fierce wrath of God Almighty.

riversident@Revelation:19:17 @ Then I saw one angel standing on the sun, and he shouted with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in mid-heaven, "Come, gather for the great feast of God,

riversident@Revelation:19:18 @ to eat the flesh of kings and the flesh of generals and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them, and the flesh of freemen and of slaves, of small and great."

riversident@Revelation:19:19 @ Then I saw the Beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered to do battle with him who sits on the horse and with his army.

riversident@Revelation:19:20 @...who worshiped his image. The two...

riversident@Revelation:19:21 @ The rest were slain with the sword of him who sits upon the horse, the sword that issued from his mouth, and all the birds were gorged with their flesh.

riversident@Revelation:20:1 @ THEN I saw an angel descending from heaven with the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand.

riversident@Revelation:20:2 @ He laid hold of the Dragon, the ancient Serpent, who is the Devil and Satan, and chained him for a thousand years

riversident@Revelation:20:3 @ and flung him into the abyss and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he should not mislead the nations until the thousand years were ended. After that he must be loosed for a little while.

riversident@Revelation:20:4 @...or on their hands. They lived...

riversident@Revelation:20:5 @ but the rest of the dead did not return to life until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.

riversident@Revelation:20:6 @ Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection! Over these the second death has no power, but they will be priests and kings of God and of Christ, and will reign with him the thousand years.

riversident@Revelation:20:7 @ When the thousand years are ended, Satan will be loosed from his prison

riversident@Revelation:20:8 @ and will come out to mislead the nations that are at the four corners of the earth \'97 Gog and Magog \'97 and gather them to battle in number like the sand of the sea.

riversident@Revelation:20:9 @ They went up over the breadth of the earth and encircled the camp of the holy and the beloved city. But fire fell from heaven and consumed them,

riversident@Revelation:20:10 @ and the Devil who was misleading them was flung into the lake of fire and brimstone, where are also the Beast and the False Prophet, and they will be tormented day and night for the ages of the ages.

riversident@Revelation:20:12 @...the Book of Life. The dead...

riversident@Revelation:20:13 @ The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and Death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and they were judged each according to his deeds.

riversident@Revelation:20:14 @ Death and Hades were flung into the lake of fire. This is the second death \'97 the lake of fire.

riversident@Revelation:20:15 @ If any one was not found written in the Book of Life he was flung into the lake of fire.

riversident@Revelation:21:1 @ THEN I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away and the sea was no more.

riversident@Revelation:21:2 @ I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

riversident@Revelation:21:3 @ And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "The Tent of God is with men. He will tent with them and they will be his people and he will be their God.

riversident@Revelation:21:4 @ He will wipe every tear from their eyes. Death shall be no more; neither shall there any longer be sorrow or wailing or painful toil; for the first things have passed away."

riversident@Revelation:21:5 @ He who was sitting on the throne said, "See, I am making all things new." He said, "Write; for these words are trustworthy and true."

riversident@Revelation:21:6 @ He said to me, "They have come to pass. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To him who is thirsting I will give from the spring of the water of life freely.

riversident@Revelation:21:8 @ But the timid and faithless and abominable and murderers and the unchaste and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars will have their lot in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death."

riversident@Revelation:21:9 @ Then one of the angels that had the seven bowls filled with the seven last plagues came and spoke with me. "Come here," he said, "and I will show you the Bride, the Lamb's wife."

riversident@Revelation:21:10 @ Then he carried me in Spirit to the top of a great and high mountain and showed me the holy city Jerusalem descending out of heaven from God,

riversident@Revelation:21:11 @ having the glory of God. Her brilliance was like that of a most precious stone, like crystalline jasper.

riversident@Revelation:21:12 @...written upon the gates. They are...

riversident@Revelation:21:13 @ On the east were three gates and on the north three gates and on the south three gates and on the west three gates.

riversident@Revelation:21:14 @ The wall of the city had twelve foundations and upon them were twelve names, the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

riversident@Revelation:21:15 @ He who was speaking with me had a golden reed as a measure, to measure the city and her gates and her wall.

riversident@Revelation:21:16 @...extends twelve thousand furlongs. The length...

riversident@Revelation:21:17 @ He measured the wall of it, a hundred and forty-four cubits by human measure, which is also that of an angel.

riversident@Revelation:21:18 @ The material of the wall of it was jasper and the city was pure gold like clear glass.

riversident@Revelation:21:19 @...kind of precious stone. The first...

riversident@Revelation:21:20 @ the fifth sardonyx, the sixth sardius, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, the twelfth amethyst.

riversident@Revelation:21:21 @...was of one pearl. The street...

riversident@Revelation:21:22 @ I saw no temple in it; for its temple is the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb.

riversident@Revelation:21:23 @ And the city has no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it; for the glory of God illumines it and the Lamb is its light.

riversident@Revelation:21:24 @ The nations will walk by its light and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it,

riversident@Revelation:21:26 @ They will bring the glory and honor of the nations into it.

riversident@Revelation:21:27 @ But there will not enter into it anything unholy or any one who makes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb's Book of Life.

riversident@Revelation:22:1 @ THEN he showed me a river of water of life bright as crystal, issuing from the throne of God and of the Lamb.

riversident@Revelation:22:2 @...their fruit every month. The leaves...

riversident@Revelation:22:3 @...be any accursed thing. The throne...

riversident@Revelation:22:5 @ There will not be night any more and they will have no need of lamplight or of sunlight; for the Lord God will shine upon them and they will be kings for the ages of the ages.

riversident@Revelation:22:6 @...are trustworthy and true. The Lord...

riversident@Revelation:22:8 @ I, John, am he who heard and saw these things. And when I had heard and seen I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who had shown them to me.

riversident@Revelation:22:9 @ But he said to me, "No, no. I am a fellow servant of yours and of your brethren and of the prophets and of those who are keeping the words of this book. Worship God."

riversident@Revelation:22:10 @ Then he said to me, "Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book. For the time is near.

riversident@Revelation:22:11 @ Let the wrongdoer do wrong still, and let him who is filthy be filthy still, and let the righteous do righteousness still, and let the holy be holy still.

riversident@Revelation:22:17 @ The Spirit and the Bride say, "Come." Let him who hears say, "Come." Let him who thirsts come. Let him who will take the water of life freely.

riversident@Revelation:22:18 @ I testify to every one who hears the words of the prophecy of this book, if any one adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book,

riversident@Revelation:22:19 @ and if any one takes away anything from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share from the tree of life and from the holy city, which are written of in this book.

riversident@Revelation:22:21 @ The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all!
