rsv@Is aiah:5:4 @ What more was there to do for my vineyard, that I have not done in it? When I looked for it to yield grapes, why did it yield wild grapes?

rsv@Is aiah:5:5 @ And now I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard. I will remove its hedge, and it shall be devoured; I will break down its wall, and it shall be trampled down.

rsv@Is aiah:5:6 @ I will make it a waste; it shall not be pruned or hoed, and briers and thorns shall grow up; I will also command the clouds that they r ain no r ain upon it.

rsv@Romans:9:30 @ What shall we say, then? That Gentiles who did not pursue righteousness have att ained it, that is, righteousness through f aith;

rsv@Romans:9:32 @ Why? Because they did not pursue it through f aith, but as if it were based on works. They have stumbled over the stumbling stone,

rsv@Romans:10:4 @ For Christ is the end of the law, that every one who has f aith may be justified.

rsv@Romans:10:6 @ But the righteousness based on f aith says, Do not say in your heart, "Who will ascend into heaven?" (that is, to bring Christ down)

rsv@Romans:10:8 @ But what does it say? The word is near you, on your lips and in your heart (that is, the word of f aith which we preach);

rsv@Romans:10:9 @ because, if you confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God r aised him from the dead, you will be saved.

rsv@Romans:10:16 @ But they have not all obeyed the gospel; for Is aiah says, "Lord, who has believed what he has heard from us?"

rsv@Romans:10:17 @ So f aith comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes by the preaching of Christ.

rsv@Romans:10:19 @ Ag ain I ask, did Israel not understand? First Moses says, "I will make you jealous of those who are not a nation; with a foolish nation I will make you angry."

rsv@Romans:10:20 @ Then Is aiah is so bold as to say, "I have been found by those who did not seek me; I have shown myself to those who did not ask for me."

rsv@Romans:11:2 @ God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew. Do you not know what the scripture says of Eli'jah, how he pleads with God ag ainst Israel?

rsv@Romans:11:7 @ What then? Israel f ailed to obt ain what it sought. The elect obt ained it, but the rest were hardened,

rsv@Romans:11:12 @ Now if their trespass means riches for the world, and if their f ailure means riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their full inclusion mean!

rsv@Romans:11:20 @ That is true. They were broken off because of their unbelief, but you stand fast only through f aith. So do not become proud, but stand in awe.

rsv@Romans:11:23 @ And even the others, if they do not persist in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God has the power to graft them in ag ain.

rsv@Romans:11:35 @ "Or who has given a gift to him that he might be rep aid?"

rsv@Romans:12:3 @ For by the grace given to me I bid every one among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of f aith which God has assigned him.

rsv@Romans:14:1 @ As for the man who is weak in f aith, welcome him, but not for disputes over opinions.

rsv@Romans:14:3 @ Let not him who eats despise him who abst ains, and let not him who abst ains pass judgment on him who eats; for God has welcomed him.

rsv@Romans:14:6 @ He who observes the day, observes it in honor of the Lord. He also who eats, eats in honor of the Lord, since he gives thanks to God; while he who abst ains, abst ains in honor of the Lord and gives thanks to God.

rsv@Romans:14:9 @ For to this end Christ died and lived ag ain, that he might be Lord both of the dead and of the living.

rsv@Romans:14:11 @ for it is written, "As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall give pr aise to God."

rsv@Romans:14:22 @ The f aith that you have, keep between yourself and God; happy is he who has no reason to judge himself for what he approves.

rsv@Romans:14:23 @ But he who has doubts is condemned, if he eats, because he does not act from f aith; for whatever does not proceed from f aith is sin.

rsv@Romans:15:1 @ We who are strong ought to bear with the f ailings of the weak, and not to please ourselves;

rsv@1Corinthians:4:17 @ Therefore I sent to you Timothy, my beloved and f aithful child in the Lord, to remind you of my ways in Christ, as I teach them everywhere in every church.

rsv@1Corinthians:6:3 @ Do you not know that we are to judge angels? How much more, matters pert aining to this life!

rsv@1Corinthians:6:6 @ but brother goes to law ag ainst brother, and that before unbelievers?

rsv@1Corinthians:6:14 @ And God r aised the Lord and will also r aise us up by his power.

rsv@1Corinthians:6:18 @ Shun immorality. Every other sin which a man commits is outside the body; but the immoral man sins ag ainst his own body.

rsv@1Corinthians:7:5 @ Do not refuse one another except perhaps by agreement for a season, that you may devote yourselves to prayer; but then come together ag ain, lest Satan tempt you through lack of self-control.

rsv@1Corinthians:9:12 @ If others share this rightful cl aim upon you, do not we still more? Nevertheless, we have not made use of this right, but we endure anything rather than put an obstacle in the way of the gospel of Christ.

rsv@1Corinthians:9:14 @ In the same way, the Lord commanded that those who procl aim the gospel should get their living by the gospel.

rsv@1Corinthians:11:2 @ I commend you because you remember me in everything and m aint ain the traditions even as I have delivered them to you.

rsv@1Corinthians:11:6 @ For if a woman will not veil herself, then she should cut off her h air; but if it is disgraceful for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her wear a veil.

rsv@1Corinthians:14:9 @ So with yourselves; if you in a tongue utter speech that is not intelligible, how will any one know what is s aid? For you will be speaking into the air.

rsv@1Corinthians:14:29 @ Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others weigh what is s aid.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:12 @ Now if Christ is preached as r aised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?

rsv@1Corinthians:15:13 @ But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not been r aised;

rsv@1Corinthians:15:14 @ if Christ has not been r aised, then our preaching is in v ain and your f aith is in v ain.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:15 @ We are even found to be misrepresenting God, because we testified of God that he r aised Christ, whom he did not r aise if it is true that the dead are not r aised.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:16 @ For if the dead are not r aised, then Christ has not been r aised.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:17 @ If Christ has not been r aised, your f aith is futile and you are still in your sins.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:20 @ But in fact Christ has been r aised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:27 @ "For God has put all things in subjection under his feet." But when it says, "All things are put in subjection under him," it is pl ain that he is excepted who put all things under him.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:29 @ Otherwise, what do people mean by being baptized on behalf of the dead? If the dead are not r aised at all, why are people baptized on their behalf?

rsv@1Corinthians:15:32 @ What do I g ain if, humanly speaking, I fought with beasts at Ephesus? If the dead are not r aised, "Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die."

rsv@1Corinthians:15:35 @ But some one will ask, "How are the dead r aised? With what kind of body do they come?"

rsv@1Corinthians:15:37 @ And what you sow is not the body which is to be, but a bare kernel, perhaps of wheat or of some other gr ain.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:42 @ So is it with the resurrection of the dead. What is sown is perishable, what is r aised is imperishable.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:43 @ It is sown in dishonor, it is r aised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is r aised in power.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:44 @ It is sown a physical body, it is r aised a spiritual body. If there is a physical body, there is also a spiritual body.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:52 @ in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be r aised imperishable, and we shall be changed.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:58 @ Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in v ain.

rsv@1Corinthians:16:1 @ Now concerning the contribution for the s aints: as I directed the churches of Galatia, so you also are to do.

rsv@1Corinthians:16:13 @ Be watchful, stand firm in your f aith, be courageous, be strong.

rsv@2Corinthians:1:1 @ Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother. To the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the s aints who are in the whole of Acha'ia:

rsv@2Corinthians:1:8 @ For we do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, of the affliction we experienced in Asia; for we were so utterly, unbearably crushed that we desp aired of life itself.

rsv@2Corinthians:1:9 @ Why, we felt that we had received the sentence of death; but that was to make us rely not on ourselves but on God who r aises the dead;

rsv@2Corinthians:1:10 @ he delivered us from so deadly a peril, and he will deliver us; on him we have set our hope that he will deliver us ag ain.

rsv@2Corinthians:1:18 @ As surely as God is f aithful, our word to you has not been Yes and No.

rsv@2Corinthians:1:23 @ But I call God to witness ag ainst me--it was to spare you that I refr ained from coming to Corinth.

rsv@2Corinthians:1:24 @ Not that we lord it over your f aith; we work with you for your joy, for you stand firm in your f aith.

rsv@2Corinthians:2:1 @ For I made up my mind not to make you another p ainful visit.

rsv@2Corinthians:2:2 @ For if I cause you p ain, who is there to make me glad but the one whom I have p ained?

rsv@Galatians:2:12 @ For before cert ain men came from James, he ate with the Gentiles; but when they came he drew back and separated himself, fearing the circumcision party.

rsv@Galatians:2:14 @ But when I saw that they were not str aightforward about the truth of the gospel, I s aid to Cephas before them all, "If you, though a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you compel the Gentiles to live like Jews?"

rsv@Galatians:2:16 @ yet who know that a man is not justified by works of the law but through f aith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by f aith in Christ, and not by works of the law, because by works of the law shall no one be justified.

rsv@Galatians:2:17 @ But if, in our endeavor to be justified in Christ, we ourselves were found to be sinners, is Christ then an agent of sin? Cert ainly not!

rsv@Galatians:2:18 @ But if I build up ag ain those things which I tore down, then I prove myself a transgressor.

rsv@Galatians:2:20 @ I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me; and the life I now live in the flesh I live by f aith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

rsv@Galatians:3:2 @ Let me ask you only this: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law, or by hearing with f aith?

rsv@Galatians:3:4 @ Did you experience so many things in v ain?--if it really is in v ain.

rsv@Galatians:3:5 @ Does he who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you do so by works of the law, or by hearing with f aith?

rsv@Galatians:3:7 @ So you see that it is men of f aith who are the sons of Abraham.

rsv@Galatians:3:8 @ And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by f aith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, "In you shall all the nations be blessed."

rsv@Galatians:3:9 @ So then, those who are men of f aith are blessed with Abraham who had f aith.

rsv@Galatians:3:11 @ Now it is evident that no man is justified before God by the law; for "He who through f aith is righteous shall live";

rsv@Galatians:3:12 @ but the law does not rest on f aith, for "He who does them shall live by them."

rsv@Galatians:3:14 @ that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through f aith.

rsv@Galatians:3:19 @ Why then the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the offspring should come to whom the promise had been made; and it was ord ained by angels through an intermediary.

rsv@Galatians:3:21 @ Is the law then ag ainst the promises of God? Cert ainly not; for if a law had been given which could make alive, then righteousness would indeed be by the law.

rsv@Galatians:3:22 @ But the scripture consigned all things to sin, that what was promised to f aith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.

rsv@Galatians:3:23 @ Now before f aith came, we were confined under the law, kept under restr aint until f aith should be revealed.

rsv@Galatians:3:24 @ So that the law was our custodian until Christ came, that we might be justified by f aith.

rsv@Galatians:3:25 @ But now that f aith has come, we are no longer under a custodian;

rsv@Galatians:3:26 @ for in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through f aith.

rsv@Galatians:4:9 @ but now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how can you turn back ag ain to the weak and beggarly elemental spirits, whose slaves you want to be once more?

rsv@Galatians:4:11 @ I am afr aid I have labored over you in v ain.

rsv@Galatians:4:13 @ you know it was because of a bodily ailment that I preached the gospel to you at first;

rsv@Galatians:4:19 @ My little children, with whom I am ag ain in trav ail until Christ be formed in you!

rsv@Galatians:4:24 @ Now this is an allegory: these women are two covenants. One is from Mount Sin ai, bearing children for slavery; she is Hagar.

rsv@Galatians:4:25 @ Now Hagar is Mount Sin ai in Arabia; she corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery with her children.

rsv@Galatians:4:27 @ For it is written, "Rejoice, O barren one who does not bear; break forth and shout, you who are not in trav ail; for the children of the desolate one are many more than the children of her that is married."

rsv@Galatians:5:1 @ For freedom Christ has set us free; stand fast therefore, and do not submit ag ain to a yoke of slavery.

rsv@Galatians:5:3 @ I testify ag ain to every man who receives circumcision that he is bound to keep the whole law.

rsv@Galatians:5:5 @ For through the Spirit, by f aith, we w ait for the hope of righteousness.

rsv@Galatians:5:6 @ For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision is of any av ail, but f aith working through love.

rsv@Galatians:5:17 @ For the desires of the flesh are ag ainst the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are ag ainst the flesh; for these are opposed to each other, to prevent you from doing what you would.

rsv@Galatians:5:19 @ Now the works of the flesh are pl ain: fornication, impurity, licentiousness,

rsv@Galatians:5:22 @ But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, f aithfulness,

rsv@Galatians:5:23 @ gentleness, self-control; ag ainst such there is no law.

rsv@Galatians:6:10 @ So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all men, and especially to those who are of the household of f aith.

rsv@Ephesians:2:8 @ For by grace you have been saved through f aith; and this is not your own doing, it is the gift of God--

rsv@Ephesians:6:12 @ For we are not contending ag ainst flesh and blood, but ag ainst the principalities, ag ainst the powers, ag ainst the world rulers of this present darkness, ag ainst the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

rsv@Hebrews:1:5 @ For to what angel did God ever say, "Thou art my Son, today I have begotten thee"? Or ag ain, "I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son"?

rsv@Hebrews:1:6 @ And ag ain, when he brings the first-born into the world, he says, "Let all God's angels worship him."

rsv@Hebrews:1:11 @ they will perish, but thou rem ainest; they will all grow old like a garment,

rsv@Hebrews:1:14 @ Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to serve, for the sake of those who are to obt ain salvation?

rsv@Hebrews:2:12 @ saying, "I will procl aim thy name to my brethren, in the midst of the congregation I will pr aise thee."

rsv@Hebrews:2:13 @ And ag ain, "I will put my trust in him." And ag ain, "Here am I, and the children God has given me."

rsv@Hebrews:2:17 @ Therefore he had to be made like his brethren in every respect, so that he might become a merciful and f aithful high priest in the service of God, to make expiation for the sins of the people.

rsv@Hebrews:3:2 @ He was f aithful to him who appointed him, just as Moses also was f aithful in God's house.

rsv@Hebrews:3:5 @ Now Moses was f aithful in all God's house as a servant, to testify to the things that were to be spoken later,

rsv@Hebrews:3:6 @ but Christ was f aithful over God's house as a son. And we are his house if we hold fast our confidence and pride in our hope.

rsv@Hebrews:3:10 @ Therefore I was provoked with that generation, and s aid, `They always go astray in their hearts; they have not known my ways.'

rsv@Hebrews:3:15 @ while it is s aid, "Today, when you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion."

rsv@Hebrews:4:1 @ Therefore, while the promise of entering his rest rem ains, let us fear lest any of you be judged to have f ailed to reach it.

rsv@Hebrews:4:2 @ For good news came to us just as to them; but the message which they heard did not benefit them, because it did not meet with f aith in the hearers.

rsv@Hebrews:4:3 @ For we who have believed enter that rest, as he has s aid, "As I swore in my wrath, `They shall never enter my rest,'" although his works were finished from the foundation of the world.

rsv@Hebrews:4:5 @ And ag ain in this place he s aid, "They shall never enter my rest."

rsv@Hebrews:4:6 @ Since therefore it rem ains for some to enter it, and those who formerly received the good news f ailed to enter because of disobedience,

rsv@Hebrews:4:7 @ ag ain he sets a cert ain day, "Today," saying through David so long afterward, in the words already quoted, "Today, when you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts."

rsv@Hebrews:4:9 @ So then, there rem ains a sabbath rest for the people of God;

rsv@Hebrews:4:13 @ And before him no creature is hidden, but all are open and l aid bare to the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

rsv@Hebrews:5:5 @ So also Christ did not exalt himself to be made a high priest, but was appointed by him who s aid to him, "Thou art my Son, today I have begotten thee";

rsv@Hebrews:5:11 @ About this we have much to say which is hard to expl ain, since you have become dull of hearing.

rsv@Hebrews:5:12 @ For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need some one to teach you ag ain the first principles of God's word. You need milk, not solid food;

rsv@Hebrews:5:14 @ But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their faculties tr ained by practice to distinguish good from evil.

rsv@Hebrews:6:1 @ Therefore let us leave the elementary doctrine of Christ and go on to maturity, not laying ag ain a foundation of repentance from dead works and of f aith toward God,

rsv@Hebrews:6:4 @ For it is impossible to restore ag ain to repentance those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit,

rsv@Hebrews:6:7 @ For land which has drunk the r ain that often falls upon it, and brings forth vegetation useful to those for whose sake it is cultivated, receives a blessing from God.

rsv@Hebrews:6:10 @ For God is not so unjust as to overlook your work and the love which you showed for his sake in serving the s aints, as you still do.

rsv@Hebrews:6:12 @ so that you may not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through f aith and patience inherit the promises.

rsv@Hebrews:6:15 @ And thus Abraham, having patiently endured, obt ained the promise.

rsv@Hebrews:6:19 @ We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, a hope that enters into the inner shrine behind the curt ain,

rsv@Hebrews:7:9 @ One might even say that Levi himself, who receives tithes, p aid tithes through Abraham,

rsv@Hebrews:7:11 @ Now if perfection had been att ainable through the Levit'ical priesthood (for under it the people received the law), what further need would there have been for another priest to arise after the order of Melchiz'edek, rather than one named after the order of Aaron?

rsv@Hebrews:7:14 @ For it is evident that our Lord was descended from Judah, and in connection with that tribe Moses s aid nothing about priests.

rsv@Hebrews:7:26 @ For it was fitting that we should have such a high priest, holy, blameless, unst ained, separated from sinners, exalted above the heavens.

rsv@Hebrews:7:27 @ He has no need, like those high priests, to offer sacrifices d aily, first for his own sins and then for those of the people; he did this once for all when he offered up himself.

rsv@Hebrews:8:5 @ They serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly sanctuary; for when Moses was about to erect the tent, he was instructed by God, saying, "See that you make everything according to the pattern which was shown you on the mount ain."

rsv@Hebrews:8:6 @ But as it is, Christ has obt ained a ministry which is as much more excellent than the old as the covenant he mediates is better, since it is enacted on better promises.

rsv@Hebrews:8:9 @ not like the covenant that 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 continue in my covenant, and so I p aid no heed to them, says the Lord.

rsv@Hebrews:9:3 @ Behind the second curt ain stood a tent called the Holy of Holies,

rsv@Hebrews:9:4 @ having the golden altar of incense and the ark of the covenant covered on all sides with gold, which cont ained a golden urn holding the manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant;

rsv@Hebrews:9:5 @ above it were the cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat. Of these things we cannot now speak in det ail.

rsv@Hebrews:9:28 @ so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly w aiting for him.

rsv@Hebrews:10:5 @ Consequently, when Christ came into the world, he s aid, "Sacrifices and offerings thou hast not desired, but a body hast thou prepared for me;

rsv@Hebrews:10:7 @ Then I s aid, `Lo, I have come to do thy will, O God,' as it is written of me in the roll of the book."

rsv@Hebrews:10:8 @ When he s aid above, "Thou hast neither desired nor taken pleasure in sacrifices and offerings and burnt offerings and sin offerings" (these are offered according to the law),

rsv@Hebrews:10:11 @ And every priest stands d aily at his service, offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.

rsv@Hebrews:10:13 @ then to w ait until his enemies should be made a stool for his feet.

rsv@Hebrews:10:20 @ by the new and living way which he opened for us through the curt ain, that is, through his flesh,

rsv@Hebrews:10:22 @ let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of f aith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.

rsv@Hebrews:10:23 @ Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is f aithful;

rsv@Hebrews:10:26 @ For if we sin deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer rem ains a sacrifice for sins,

rsv@Hebrews:10:30 @ For we know him who s aid, "Vengeance is mine, I will repay." And ag ain, "The Lord will judge his people."

rsv@Hebrews:10:38 @ but my righteous one shall live by f aith, and if he shrinks back, my soul has no pleasure in him."

rsv@Hebrews:10:39 @ But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who have f aith and keep their souls.

rsv@Hebrews:11:1 @ Now f aith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.

rsv@Hebrews:11:3 @ By f aith we understand that the world was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was made out of things which do not appear.

rsv@Hebrews:11:4 @ By f aith Abel offered to God a more acceptable sacrifice than C ain, through which he received approval as righteous, God bearing witness by accepting his gifts; he died, but through his f aith he is still speaking.

rsv@Hebrews:11:5 @ By f aith Enoch was taken up so that he should not see death; and he was not found, because God had taken him. Now before he was taken he was attested as having pleased God.

rsv@Hebrews:11:6 @ And without f aith it is impossible to please him. For whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.

rsv@Hebrews:11:7 @ By f aith Noah, being warned by God concerning events as yet unseen, took heed and constructed an ark for the saving of his household; by this he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness which comes by f aith.

rsv@Hebrews:11:8 @ By f aith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place which he was to receive as an inheritance; and he went out, not knowing where he was to go.

rsv@Hebrews:11:9 @ By f aith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, heirs with him of the same promise.

rsv@Hebrews:11:11 @ By f aith Sarah herself received power to conceive, even when she was past the age, since she considered him f aithful who had promised.

rsv@Hebrews:11:12 @ Therefore from one man, and him as good as dead, were born descendants as many as the stars of heaven and as the innumerable gr ains of sand by the seashore.

rsv@Hebrews:11:13 @ These all died in f aith, not having received what was promised, but having seen it and greeted it from afar, and having acknowledged that they were strangers and exiles on the earth.

rsv@Hebrews:11:17 @ By f aith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises was ready to offer up his only son,

rsv@Hebrews:11:18 @ of whom it was s aid, "Through Isaac shall your descendants be named."

rsv@Hebrews:11:19 @ He considered that God was able to r aise men even from the dead; hence, figuratively speaking, he did receive him back.
