rsv@Genesis:1:1 @ In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

rsv@Genesis:1:3 @ And God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light.

rsv@Genesis:1:6 @ And God said, "Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters."

rsv@Genesis:1:9 @ And God said, "Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear." And it was so.

rsv@Genesis:1:11 @ And God said, "Let the earth put forth vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind, upon the earth." And it was so.

rsv@Genesis:1:12 @ The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed according to their own kinds, and trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.

rsv@Genesis:1:14 @ And God said, "Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to separate the day from the night; and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years,

rsv@Genesis:1:15 @ and let them be lights in the firmament of the heavens to give light upon the earth." And it was so.

rsv@Genesis:1:22 @ And God blessed them, saying, " Be fruitful and multiply and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth."

rsv@Genesis:1:24 @ And God said, "Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds: cattle and creeping things and beasts of the earth according to their kinds." And it was so.

rsv@Genesis:1:25 @ And God made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds and the cattle according to their kinds, and everything that creeps upon the ground according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.

rsv@Genesis:1:28 @ And God blessed them, and God said to them, " Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves upon the earth."

rsv@Genesis:1:29 @ And God said, " Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit; you shall have them for food.

rsv@Genesis:1:30 @ And to every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food." And it was so.

rsv@Genesis:1:31 @ And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, a sixth day.

rsv@Genesis:2:3 @ So God blessed the seventh day and hallowed it, because on it God rested from all his work which he had done in creation.

rsv@Genesis:2:7 @ then the LORD God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.

rsv@Genesis:2:10 @ A river flowed out of Eden to water the garden, and there it divided and became four rivers.

rsv@Genesis:2:18 @ Then the LORD God said, "It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him."

rsv@Genesis:2:19 @ So out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them; and whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name.

rsv@Genesis:2:20 @ The man gave names to all cattle, and to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for the man there was not found a helper fit for him.

rsv@Genesis:2:23 @ Then the man said, "This at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man."

rsv@Genesis:2:24 @ Therefore a man leaves his father and his mother and cleaves to his wife, and they become one flesh.

rsv@Genesis:3:5 @ For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."

rsv@Genesis:3:6 @ So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate; and she also gave some to her husband, and he ate.

rsv@Genesis:3:10 @ And he said, "I heard the sound of thee in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself."

rsv@Genesis:3:12 @ The man said, "The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me fruit of the tree, and I ate."

rsv@Genesis:3:13 @ Then the LORD God said to the woman, "What is this that you have done?" The woman said, "The serpent beguiled me, and I ate."

rsv@Genesis:3:14 @ The LORD God said to the serpent, " Because you have done this, cursed are you above all cattle, and above all wild animals; upon your belly you shall go, and dust you shall eat all the days of your life.

rsv@Genesis:3:15 @ I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel."

rsv@Genesis:3:16 @ To the woman he said, "I will greatly multiply your pain in child bearing; in pain you shall bring forth children, yet your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you."

rsv@Genesis:3:17 @ And to Adam he said, " Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten of the tree of which I commanded you, `You shall not eat of it,' cursed is the ground because of you; in toil you shall eat of it all the days of your life;

rsv@Genesis:3:20 @ The man called his wife's name Eve, because she was the mother of all living.

rsv@Genesis:3:22 @ Then the LORD God said, " Behold, the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil; and now, lest he put forth his hand and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever"--

rsv@Genesis:4:2 @ And again, she bore his brother A bel. Now A bel was a keeper of sheep, and Cain a tiller of the ground.

rsv@Genesis:4:4 @ and A bel brought of the firstlings of his flock and of their fat portions. And the LORD had regard for A bel and his offering,

rsv@Genesis:4:7 @ If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin is couching at the door; its desire is for you, but you must master it."

rsv@Genesis:4:8 @ Cain said to A bel his brother, "Let us go out to the field." And when they were in the field, Cain rose up against his brother A bel, and killed him.

rsv@Genesis:4:9 @ Then the LORD said to Cain, "Where is A bel your brother?" He said, "I do not know; am I my brother's keeper?"

rsv@Genesis:4:12 @ When you till the ground, it shall no longer yield to you its strength; you shall be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth."

rsv@Genesis:4:13 @ Cain said to the LORD, "My punishment is greater than I can bear.

rsv@Genesis:4:14 @ Behold, thou hast driven me this day away from the ground; and from thy face I shall be hidden; and I shall be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will slay me."

rsv@Genesis:4:15 @ Then the LORD said to him, "Not so! If any one slays Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold." And the LORD put a mark on Cain, lest any who came upon him should kill him.

rsv@Genesis:4:25 @ And Adam knew his wife again, and she bore a son and called his name Seth, for she said, "God has appointed for me another child instead of A bel, for Cain slew him."

rsv@Genesis:4:26 @ To Seth also a son was born, and he called his name Enosh. At that time men began to call upon the name of the LORD.

rsv@Genesis:5:3 @ When Adam had lived a hundred and thirty years, he became the father of a son in his own likeness, after his image, and named him Seth.

rsv@Genesis:5:4 @ The days of Adam after he became the father of Seth were eight hundred years; and he had other sons and daughters.

rsv@Genesis:5:6 @ When Seth had lived a hundred and five years, he became the father of Enosh.

rsv@Genesis:5:9 @ When Enosh had lived ninety years, he became the father of Kenan.

rsv@Genesis:5:12 @ When Kenan had lived seventy years, he became the father of Ma-hal'alel.

rsv@Genesis:5:15 @ When Ma-hal'alel had lived sixty-five years, he became the father of Jared.

rsv@Genesis:5:18 @ When Jared had lived a hundred and sixty-two years he became the father of Enoch.

rsv@Genesis:5:21 @ When Enoch had lived sixty-five years, he became the father of Methu'selah.

rsv@Genesis:5:25 @ When Methu'selah had lived a hundred and eighty-seven years, he became the father of Lamech.

rsv@Genesis:5:28 @ When Lamech had lived a hundred and eighty-two years, he became the father of a son,

rsv@Genesis:5:32 @ After Noah was five hundred years old, Noah became the father of Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

rsv@Genesis:6:1 @ When men began to multiply on the face of the ground, and daughters were born to them,

rsv@Genesis:6:3 @ Then the LORD said, "My spirit shall not abide in man for ever, for he is flesh, but his days shall be a hundred and twenty years."

rsv@Genesis:6:7 @ So the LORD said, "I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the ground, man and beast and creeping things and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them."

rsv@Genesis:6:12 @ And God saw the earth, and behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way upon the earth.

rsv@Genesis:6:13 @ And God said to Noah, "I have determined to make an end of all flesh; for the earth is filled with violence through them; behold, I will destroy them with the earth.

rsv@Genesis:6:17 @ For behold, I will bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh in which is the breath of life from under heaven; everything that is on the earth shall die.

rsv@Genesis:6:19 @ And of every living thing of all flesh, you shall bring two of every sort into the ark, to keep them alive with you; they shall be male and female.

rsv@Genesis:7:1 @ Then the LORD said to Noah, "Go into the ark, you and all your household, for I have seen that you are righteous before me in this generation.

rsv@Genesis:7:14 @ they and every beast according to its kind, and all the cattle according to their kinds, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth according to its kind, and every bird according to its kind, every bird of every sort.

rsv@Genesis:7:21 @ And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, birds, cattle, beasts, all swarming creatures that swarm upon the earth, and every man;

rsv@Genesis:8:1 @ But God remem bered Noah and all the beasts and all the cattle that were with him in the ark. And God made a wind blow over the earth, and the waters subsided;

rsv@Genesis:8:13 @ In the six hundred and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried from off the earth; and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and behold, the face of the ground was dry.

rsv@Genesis:8:17 @ Bring forth with you every living thing that is with you of all flesh--birds and animals and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth--that they may breed abundantly on the earth, and be fruitful and multiply upon the earth."

rsv@Genesis:8:19 @ And every beast, every creeping thing, and every bird, everything that moves upon the earth, went forth by families out of the ark.

rsv@Genesis:8:21 @ And when the LORD smelled the pleasing odor, the LORD said in his heart, "I will never again curse the ground because of man, for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I ever again destroy every living creature as I have done.

rsv@Genesis:9:1 @ And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, " Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth.

rsv@Genesis:9:2 @ The fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every bird of the air, upon everything that creeps on the ground and all the fish of the sea; into your hand they are delivered.

rsv@Genesis:9:3 @ Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you; and as I gave you the green plants, I give you everything.

rsv@Genesis:9:5 @ For your lifeblood I will surely require a reckoning; of every beast I will require it and of man; of every man's brother I will require the life of man.

rsv@Genesis:9:6 @ Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed; for God made man in his own image.

rsv@Genesis:9:7 @ And you, be fruitful and multiply, bring forth abundantly on the earth and multiply in it."

rsv@Genesis:9:9 @ " Behold, I establish my covenant with you and your descendants after you,

rsv@Genesis:9:10 @ and with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the cattle, and every beast of the earth with you, as many as came out of the ark.

rsv@Genesis:9:11 @ I establish my covenant with you, that never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of a flood, and never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth."

rsv@Genesis:9:12 @ And God said, "This is the sign of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all future generations:

rsv@Genesis:9:13 @ I set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth.

rsv@Genesis:9:15 @ I will remem ber my covenant which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh.

rsv@Genesis:9:16 @ When the bow is in the clouds, I will look upon it and remem ber the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth."

rsv@Genesis:9:17 @ God said to Noah, "This is the sign of the covenant which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth."

rsv@Genesis:9:21 @ and he drank of the wine, and became drunk, and lay uncovered in his tent.

rsv@Genesis:9:25 @ he said, "Cursed be Canaan; a slave of slaves shall he be to his brothers."

rsv@Genesis:9:26 @ He also said, "Blessed by the LORD my God be Shem; and let Canaan be his slave.

rsv@Genesis:9:27 @ God enlarge Japheth, and let him dwell in the tents of Shem; and let Canaan be his slave."

rsv@Genesis:10:8 @ Cush became the father of Nimrod; he was the first on earth to be a mighty man.

rsv@Genesis:10:9 @ He was a mighty hunter before the LORD; therefore it is said, "Like Nimrod a mighty hunter before the LORD."

rsv@Genesis:10:10 @ The beginning of his kingdom was Ba' bel, Erech, and Accad, all of them in the land of Shinar.

rsv@Genesis:10:12 @ Resen between Nin'eveh and Calah; that is the great city.

rsv@Genesis:10:26 @ Joktan became the father of Almo'dad, Sheleph, Hazarma'veth, Jerah,

rsv@Genesis:11:4 @ Then they said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth."

rsv@Genesis:11:6 @ And the LORD said, " Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language; and this is only the beginning of what they will do; and nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them.

rsv@Genesis:11:9 @ Therefore its name was called Ba' bel, because there the LORD confused the language of all the earth; and from there the LORD scattered them abroad over the face of all the earth.

rsv@Genesis:11:10 @ These are the descendants of Shem. When Shem was a hundred years old, he became the father of Arpach'shad two years after the flood;

rsv@Genesis:12:2 @ And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you, and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing.

rsv@Genesis:12:8 @ Thence he removed to the mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east; and there he built an altar to the LORD and called on the name of the LORD.

rsv@Genesis:12:11 @ When he was about to enter Egypt, he said to Sar'ai his wife, "I know that you are a woman beautiful to behold;

rsv@Genesis:12:13 @ Say you are my sister, that it may go well with me because of you, and that my life may be spared on your account."

rsv@Genesis:12:14 @ When Abram entered Egypt the Egyptians saw that the woman was very beautiful.

rsv@Genesis:12:17 @ But the LORD afflicted Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sar'ai, Abram's wife.

rsv@Genesis:12:19 @ Why did you say, `She is my sister,' so that I took her for my wife? Now then, here is your wife, take her, and be gone."

rsv@Genesis:13:3 @ And he journeyed on from the Negeb as far as Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai,

rsv@Genesis:13:7 @ and there was strife between the herdsmen of Abram's cattle and the herdsmen of Lot's cattle. At that time the Canaanites and the Per'izzites dwelt in the land.

rsv@Genesis:13:8 @ Then Abram said to Lot, "Let there be no strife between you and me, and between your herdsmen and my herdsmen; for we are kinsmen.

rsv@Genesis:13:9 @ Is not the whole land before you? Separate yourself from me. If you take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if you take the right hand, then I will go to the left."

rsv@Genesis:13:10 @ And Lot lifted up his eyes, and saw that the Jordan valley was well watered everywhere like the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, in the direction of Zo'ar; this was before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomor'rah.

rsv@Genesis:13:16 @ I will make your descendants as the dust of the earth; so that if one can count the dust of the earth, your descendants also can be counted.

rsv@Genesis:14:2 @ these kings made war with Bera king of Sodom, Birsha king of Gomor'rah, Shinab king of Admah, Sheme' ber king of Zeboi'im, and the king of Bela (that is, Zo'ar).

rsv@Genesis:14:4 @ Twelve years they had served Ched-or-lao'mer, but in the thirteenth year they re belled.

rsv@Genesis:14:8 @ Then the king of Sodom, the king of Gomor'rah, the king of Admah, the king of Zeboi'im, and the king of Bela (that is, Zo'ar) went out, and they joined battle in the Valley of Siddim

rsv@Genesis:14:14 @ When Abram heard that his kinsman had been taken captive, he led forth his trained men, born in his house, three hundred and eighteen of them, and went in pursuit as far as Daniel.

rsv@Genesis:14:19 @ And he blessed him and said, "Blessed be Abram by God Most High, maker of heaven and earth;

rsv@Genesis:14:20 @ and blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hand!" And Abram gave him a tenth of everything.

rsv@Genesis:15:1 @ After these things the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision, "Fear not, Abram, I am your shield; your reward shall be very great."

rsv@Genesis:15:3 @ And Abram said, " Behold, thou hast given me no offspring; and a slave born in my house will be my heir."

rsv@Genesis:15:4 @ And behold, the word of the LORD came to him, "This man shall not be your heir; your own son shall be your heir."

rsv@Genesis:15:5 @ And he brought him outside and said, "Look toward heaven, and num ber the stars, if you are able to num ber them." Then he said to him, "So shall your descendants be."

rsv@Genesis:15:6 @ And he believed the LORD; and he reckoned it to him as righteousness.

rsv@Genesis:15:13 @ Then the LORD said to Abram, "Know of a surety that your descendants will be sojourners in a land that is not theirs, and will be slaves there, and they will be oppressed for four hundred years;

rsv@Genesis:15:15 @ As for yourself, you shall go to your fathers in peace; you shall be buried in a good old age.

rsv@Genesis:15:17 @ When the sun had gone down and it was dark, behold, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between these pieces.

rsv@Genesis:16:2 @ and Sar'ai said to Abram, " Behold now, the LORD has prevented me from bearing children; go in to my maid; it may be that I shall obtain children by her." And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sar'ai.

rsv@Genesis:16:5 @ And Sar'ai said to Abram, "May the wrong done to me be on you! I gave my maid to your embrace, and when she saw that she had conceived, she looked on me with contempt. May the LORD judge between you and me!"

rsv@Genesis:16:6 @ But Abram said to Sar'ai, " Behold, your maid is in your power; do to her as you please." Then Sar'ai dealt harshly with her, and she fled from her.

rsv@Genesis:16:10 @ The angel of the LORD also said to her, "I will so greatly multiply your descendants that they cannot be num bered for multitude."

rsv@Genesis:16:11 @ And the angel of the LORD said to her, " Behold, you are with child, and shall bear a son; you shall call his name Ish'mael; because the LORD has given heed to your affliction.

rsv@Genesis:16:12 @ He shall be a wild ass of a man, his hand against every man and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell over against all his kinsmen."

rsv@Genesis:16:14 @ Therefore the well was called Beer-la'hai-roi; it lies between Kadesh and Bered.

rsv@Genesis:17:1 @ When Abram was ninety-nine years old the LORD appeared to Abram, and said to him, "I am God Almighty; walk before me, and be blameless.

rsv@Genesis:17:2 @ And I will make my covenant between me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly."

rsv@Genesis:17:4 @ " Behold, my covenant is with you, and you shall be the father of a multitude of nations.

rsv@Genesis:17:5 @ No longer shall your name be Abram, but your name shall be Abraham; for I have made you the father of a multitude of nations.

rsv@Genesis:17:7 @ And I will establish my covenant between me and you and your descendants after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and to your descendants after you.

rsv@Genesis:17:8 @ And I will give to you, and to your descendants after you, the land of your sojournings, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God."

rsv@Genesis:17:10 @ This is my covenant, which you shall keep, between me and you and your descendants after you: Every male among you shall be circumcised.

rsv@Genesis:17:11 @ You shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskins, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and you.

rsv@Genesis:17:12 @ He that is eight days old among you shall be circumcised; every male throughout your generations, whether born in your house, or bought with your money from any foreigner who is not of your offspring,

rsv@Genesis:17:13 @ both he that is born in your house and he that is bought with your money, shall be circumcised. So shall my covenant be in your flesh an everlasting covenant.

rsv@Genesis:17:14 @ Any uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin shall be cut off from his people; he has broken my covenant."

rsv@Genesis:17:15 @ And God said to Abraham, "As for Sar'ai your wife, you shall not call her name Sar'ai, but Sarah shall be her name.

rsv@Genesis:17:16 @ I will bless her, and moreover I will give you a son by her; I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of peoples shall come from her."

rsv@Genesis:17:17 @ Then Abraham fell on his face and laughed, and said to himself, "Shall a child be born to a man who is a hundred years old? Shall Sarah, who is ninety years old, bear a child?"

rsv@Genesis:17:19 @ God said, "No, but Sarah your wife shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name Isaac. I will establish my covenant with him as an everlasting covenant for his descendants after him.

rsv@Genesis:17:20 @ As for Ish'mael, I have heard you; behold, I will bless him and make him fruitful and multiply him exceedingly; he shall be the father of twelve princes, and I will make him a great nation.

rsv@Genesis:17:21 @ But I will establish my covenant with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear to you at this season next year."

rsv@Genesis:18:2 @ He lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, three men stood in front of him. When he saw them, he ran from the tent door to meet them, and bowed himself to the earth,

rsv@Genesis:18:4 @ Let a little water be brought, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree,

rsv@Genesis:18:8 @ Then he took curds, and milk, and the calf which he had prepared, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree while they ate.

rsv@Genesis:18:10 @ The LORD said, "I will surely return to you in the spring, and Sarah your wife shall have a son." And Sarah was listening at the tent door behind him.

rsv@Genesis:18:11 @ Now Abraham and Sarah were old, advanced in age; it had ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.

rsv@Genesis:18:13 @ The LORD said to Abraham, "Why did Sarah laugh, and say, `Shall I indeed bear a child, now that I am old?'

rsv@Genesis:18:18 @ seeing that Abraham shall become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall bless themselves by him?

rsv@Genesis:18:20 @ Then the LORD said, " Because the outcry against Sodom and Gomor'rah is great and their sin is very grave,

rsv@Genesis:18:22 @ So the men turned from there, and went toward Sodom; but Abraham still stood before the LORD.

rsv@Genesis:18:25 @ Far be it from thee to do such a thing, to slay the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous fare as the wicked! Far be that from thee! Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?"

rsv@Genesis:18:27 @ Abraham answered, " Behold, I have taken upon myself to speak to the Lord, I who am but dust and ashes.

rsv@Genesis:18:30 @ Then he said, "Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak. Suppose thirty are found there." He answered, "I will not do it, if I find thirty there."

rsv@Num bers:11:24 @ So Moses went out and told the people the words of the LORD; and he gathered seventy men of the elders of the people, and placed them round about the tent.

rsv@Num bers:11:25 @ Then the LORD came down in the cloud and spoke to him, and took some of the spirit that was upon him and put it upon the seventy elders; and when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied. But they did so no more.

rsv@Num bers:11:26 @ Now two men remained in the camp, one named Eldad, and the other named Medad, and the spirit rested upon them; they were among those registered, but they had not gone out to the tent, and so they prophesied in the camp.

rsv@Num bers:11:27 @ And a young man ran and told Moses, "Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp."

rsv@Num bers:11:28 @ And Joshua the son of Nun, the minister of Moses, one of his chosen men, said, "My lord Moses, forbid them."

rsv@Num bers:11:29 @ But Moses said to him, "Are you jealous for my sake? Would that all the LORD's people were prophets, that the LORD would put his spirit upon them!"

rsv@Num bers:11:30 @ And Moses and the elders of Israel returned to the camp.

rsv@Num bers:11:31 @ And there went forth a wind from the LORD, and it brought quails from the sea, and let them fall beside the camp, about a day's journey on this side and a day's journey on the other side, round about the camp, and about two cubits above the face of the earth.

rsv@Num bers:11:32 @ And the people rose all that day, and all night, and all the next day, and gathered the quails; he who gathered least gathered ten homers; and they spread them out for themselves all around the camp.

rsv@Num bers:11:33 @ While the meat was yet between their teeth, before it was consumed, the anger of the LORD was kindled against the people, and the LORD smote the people with a very great plague.

rsv@Num bers:11:34 @ Therefore the name of that place was called Kib'roth-hatta'avah, because there they buried the people who had the craving.

rsv@Num bers:11:35 @ From Kib'roth-hatta'avah the people journeyed to Haze'roth; and they remained at Haze'roth.

rsv@Num bers:12:1 @ Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married, for he had married a Cushite woman;

rsv@Num bers:12:2 @ and they said, "Has the LORD indeed spoken only through Moses? Has he not spoken through us also?" And the LORD heard it.

rsv@Num bers:12:3 @ Now the man Moses was very meek, more than all men that were on the face of the earth.

rsv@Num bers:12:4 @ And suddenly the LORD said to Moses and to Aaron and Miriam, "Come out, you three, to the tent of meeting." And the three of them came out.

rsv@Num bers:12:5 @ And the LORD came down in a pillar of cloud, and stood at the door of the tent, and called Aaron and Miriam; and they both came forward.

rsv@Num bers:12:6 @ And he said, "Hear my words: If there is a prophet among you, I the LORD make myself known to him in a vision, I speak with him in a dream.

rsv@Num bers:12:7 @ Not so with my servant Moses; he is entrusted with all my house.

rsv@Num bers:12:8 @ With him I speak mouth to mouth, clearly, and not in dark speech; and he beholds the form of the LORD. Why then were you not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?"

rsv@Num bers:12:9 @ And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them, and he departed;

rsv@Num bers:12:10 @ and when the cloud removed from over the tent, behold, Miriam was leprous, as white as snow. And Aaron turned towards Miriam, and behold, she was leprous.

rsv@Num bers:12:11 @ And Aaron said to Moses, "Oh, my lord, do not punish us because we have done foolishly and have sinned.

rsv@Num bers:12:12 @ Let her not be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he comes out of his mother's womb."

rsv@Num bers:12:13 @ And Moses cried to the LORD, "Heal her, O God, I beseech thee."

rsv@Num bers:12:14 @ But the LORD said to Moses, "If her father had but spit in her face, should she not be shamed seven days? Let her be shut up outside the camp seven days, and after that she may be brought in again."

rsv@Num bers:12:15 @ So Miriam was shut up outside the camp seven days; and the people did not set out on the march till Miriam was brought in again.

rsv@Num bers:12:16 @ After that the people set out from Haze'roth, and encamped in the wilderness of Paran.

rsv@Num bers:13:1 @ The LORD said to Moses,

rsv@Num bers:13:2 @ "Send men to spy out the land of Canaan, which I give to the people of Israel; from each tri be of their fathers shall you send a man, every one a leader among them."

rsv@Num bers:13:3 @ So Moses sent them from the wilderness of Paran, according to the command of the LORD, all of them men who were heads of the people of Israel.

rsv@Num bers:13:4 @ And these were their names: From the tri be of Reu ben, Sham'mu-a the son of Zaccur;

rsv@Num bers:13:5 @ from the tri be of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori;

rsv@Num bers:13:6 @ from the tri be of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephun'neh;

rsv@Num bers:13:7 @ from the tri be of Is'sachar, Igal the son of Joseph;

rsv@Num bers:13:8 @ from the tri be of E'phraim, Hoshe'a the son of Nun;

rsv@Num bers:13:9 @ from the tri be of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu;

rsv@Num bers:13:10 @ from the tri be of Zeb'ulun, Gad'diel the son of Sodi;

rsv@Num bers:13:11 @ from the tri be of Joseph (that is from the tri be of Manas'seh), Gaddi the son of Susi;

rsv@Num bers:13:12 @ from the tri be of Dan, Am'miel the son of Gemal'li;

rsv@Num bers:13:13 @ from the tri be of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael;

rsv@Num bers:13:14 @ from the tri be of Naph'tali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi;

rsv@Num bers:13:15 @ from the tri be of Gad, Geu'el the son of Machi.

rsv@Num bers:13:16 @ These were the names of the men whom Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Hoshe'a the son of Nun Joshua.

rsv@Num bers:13:17 @ Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said to them, "Go up into the Negeb yonder, and go up into the hill country,

rsv@Num bers:13:18 @ and see what the land is, and whether the people who dwell in it are strong or weak, whether they are few or many,

rsv@Num bers:13:19 @ and whether the land that they dwell in is good or bad, and whether the cities that they dwell in are camps or strongholds,

rsv@Num bers:13:20 @ and whether the land is rich or poor, and whether there is wood in it or not. Be of good courage, and bring some of the fruit of the land." Now the time was the season of the first ripe grapes.

rsv@Num bers:13:21 @ So they went up and spied out the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, near the entrance of Hamath.

rsv@Num bers:13:22 @ They went up into the Negeb, and came to Hebron; and Ahi'man, She'shai, and Talmai, the descendants of Anak, were there. (Hebron was built seven years before Zo'an in Egypt.)

rsv@Num bers:13:23 @ And they came to the Valley of Eshcol, and cut down from there a branch with a single cluster of grapes, and they carried it on a pole between two of them; they brought also some pomegranates and figs.

rsv@Num bers:13:24 @ That place was called the Valley of Eshcol, because of the cluster which the men of Israel cut down from there.

rsv@Num bers:13:25 @ At the end of forty days they returned from spying out the land.

rsv@Num bers:13:26 @ And they came to Moses and Aaron and to all the congregation of the people of Israel in the wilderness of Paran, at Kadesh; they brought back word to them and to all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land.

rsv@Num bers:13:27 @ And they told him, "We came to the land to which you sent us; it flows with milk and honey, and this is its fruit.

rsv@Num bers:13:28 @ Yet the people who dwell in the land are strong, and the cities are fortified and very large; and besides, we saw the descendants of Anak there.

rsv@Num bers:13:29 @ The Amal'ekites dwell in the land of the Negeb; the Hittites, the Jeb'usites, and the Amorites dwell in the hill country; and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and along the Jordan."

rsv@Num bers:13:30 @ But Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, "Let us go up at once, and occupy it; for we are well able to overcome it."

rsv@Num bers:13:31 @ Then the men who had gone up with him said, "We are not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we."

rsv@Num bers:13:32 @ So they brought to the people of Israel an evil report of the land which they had spied out, saying, "The land, through which we have gone, to spy it out, is a land that devours its inhabitants; and all the people that we saw in it are men of great stature.

rsv@Num bers:13:33 @ And there we saw the Nephilim (the sons of Anak, who come from the Nephilim); and we seemed to ourselves like grasshoppers, and so we seemed to them."

rsv@Num bers:14:1 @ Then all the congregation raised a loud cry; and the people wept that night.

rsv@Num bers:14:2 @ And all the people of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron; the whole congregation said to them, "Would that we had died in the land of Egypt! Or would that we had died in this wilderness!

rsv@Num bers:14:3 @ Why does the LORD bring us into this land, to fall by the sword? Our wives and our little ones will become a prey; would it not be better for us to go back to Egypt?"

rsv@Num bers:14:4 @ And they said to one another, "Let us choose a captain, and go back to Egypt."

rsv@Num bers:14:5 @ Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the people of Israel.

rsv@Num bers:14:6 @ And Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephun'neh, who were among those who had spied out the land, rent their clothes,

rsv@Num bers:14:7 @ and said to all the congregation of the people of Israel, "The land, which we passed through to spy it out, is an exceedingly good land.

rsv@Num bers:14:8 @ If the LORD delights in us, he will bring us into this land and give it to us, a land which flows with milk and honey.

rsv@Num bers:14:9 @ Only, do not re bel against the LORD; and do not fear the people of the land, for they are bread for us; their protection is removed from them, and the LORD is with us; do not fear them."

rsv@Num bers:14:10 @ But all the congregation said to stone them with stones. Then the glory of the LORD appeared at the tent of meeting to all the people of Israel.

rsv@Num bers:14:11 @ And the LORD said to Moses, "How long will this people despise me? And how long will they not believe in me, in spite of all the signs which I have wrought among them?

rsv@Num bers:14:12 @ I will strike them with the pestilence and disinherit them, and I will make of you a nation greater and mightier than they."

rsv@Num bers:14:13 @ But Moses said to the LORD, "Then the Egyptians will hear of it, for thou didst bring up this people in thy might from among them,

rsv@Num bers:14:19 @ Pardon the iniquity of this people, I pray thee, according to the greatness of thy steadfast love, and according as thou hast forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now."

rsv@Num bers:14:20 @ Then the LORD said, "I have pardoned, according to your word;

rsv@Num bers:14:38 @ But Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephun'neh remained alive, of those men who went to spy out the land.

rsv@Num bers:14:39 @ And Moses told these words to all the people of Israel, and the people mourned greatly.

rsv@Num bers:14:40 @ And they rose early in the morning, and went up to the heights of the hill country, saying, "See, we are here, we will go up to the place which the LORD has promised; for we have sinned."

rsv@Num bers:14:41 @ But Moses said, "Why now are you transgressing the command of the LORD, for that will not succeed?

rsv@Num bers:14:42 @ Do not go up lest you be struck down before your enemies, for the LORD is not among you.

rsv@Joshua:9:17 @ And the people of Israel set out and reached their cities on the third day. Now their cities were Gi beon, Chephi'rah, Be-er'oth, and Kir'iath-je'arim.

rsv@Joshua:9:18 @ But the people of Israel did not kill them, because the leaders of the congregation had sworn to them by the LORD, the God of Israel. Then all the congregation murmured against the leaders.

rsv@Joshua:9:21 @ And the leaders said to them, "Let them live." So they became hewers of wood and drawers of water for all the congregation, as the leaders had said of them.

rsv@Joshua:9:23 @ Now therefore you are cursed, and some of you shall always be slaves, hewers of wood and drawers of water for the house of my God."

rsv@Joshua:9:24 @ They answered Joshua, " Because it was told to your servants for a certainty that the LORD your God had commanded his servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you; so we feared greatly for our lives because of you, and did this thing.

rsv@Joshua:10:6 @ And the men of Gi beon sent to Joshua at the camp in Gilgal, saying, "Do not relax your hand from your servants; come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us; for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the hill country are gathered against us."

rsv@Joshua:10:11 @ And as they fled before Israel, while they were going down the ascent of Beth-hor'on, the LORD threw down great stones from heaven upon them as far as Aze'kah, and they died; there were more who died because of the hailstones than the men of Israel killed with the sword.

rsv@Joshua:10:12 @ Then spoke Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD gave the Amorites over to the men of Israel; and he said in the sight of Israel, "Sun, stand thou still at Gi beon, and thou Moon in the valley of Ai'jalon."

rsv@Joshua:10:14 @ There has been no day like it before or since, when the LORD hearkened to the voice of a man; for the LORD fought for Israel.

rsv@Joshua:11:19 @ There was not a city that made peace with the people of Israel, except the Hivites, the inhabitants of Gi beon; they took all in battle.

rsv@Joshua:11:20 @ For it was the LORD's doing to harden their hearts that they should come against Israel in battle, in order that they should be utterly destroyed, and should receive no mercy but be exterminated, as the LORD commanded Moses.

rsv@Joshua:12:1 @ Now these are the kings of the land, whom the people of Israel defeated, and took possession of their land beyond the Jordan toward the sunrising, from the valley of the Arnon to Mount Hermon, with all the Arabah eastward:

rsv@Joshua:13:8 @ With the other half of the tri be of Manas'seh the Reu benites and the Gadites received their inheritance, which Moses gave them, beyond the Jordan eastward, as Moses the servant of the LORD gave them:

rsv@Joshua:13:14 @ To the tri be of Levi alone Moses gave no inheritance; the offerings by fire to the LORD God of Israel are their inheritance, as he said to him.

rsv@Joshua:13:29 @ And Moses gave an inheritance to the half-tri be of Manas'seh; it was allotted to the half-tri be of the Manas'sites according to their families.

rsv@Joshua:13:32 @ These are the inheritances which Moses distributed in the plains of Moab, beyond the Jordan east of Jericho.

rsv@Joshua:13:33 @ But to the tri be of Levi Moses gave no inheritance; the LORD God of Israel is their inheritance, as he said to them.

rsv@Joshua:14:2 @ Their inheritance was by lot, as the LORD had commanded Moses for the nine and one-half tri bes.

rsv@Joshua:14:3 @ For Moses had given an inheritance to the two and one-half tri bes beyond the Jordan; but to the Levites he gave no inheritance among them.

rsv@Joshua:14:4 @ For the people of Joseph were two tri bes, Manas'seh and E'phraim; and no portion was given to the Levites in the land, but only cities to dwell in, with their pasture lands for their cattle and their substance.

rsv@Joshua:14:9 @ And Moses swore on that day, saying, `Surely the land on which your foot has trodden shall be an inheritance for you and your children for ever, because you have wholly followed the LORD my God.'

rsv@Joshua:14:10 @ And now, behold, the LORD has kept me alive, as he said, these forty-five years since the time that the LORD spoke this word to Moses, while Israel walked in the wilderness; and now, lo, I am this day eighty-five years old.

rsv@Joshua:14:14 @ So Hebron became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephun'neh the Ken'izzite to this day, because he wholly followed the LORD, the God of Israel.

rsv@Joshua:16:5 @ The territory of the E'phraimites by their families was as follows: the boundary of their inheritance on the east was At'aroth-ad'dar as far as Upper Beth-hor'on,

rsv@Joshua:16:6 @ and the boundary goes thence to the sea; on the north is Mich-me'thath; then on the east the boundary turns round toward Ta'anath-shi'loh, and passes along beyond it on the east to Jan-o'ah,

rsv@Joshua:16:8 @ From Tap'puah the boundary goes westward to the brook Kanah, and ends at the sea. Such is the inheritance of the tri be of the E'phraimites by their families,

rsv@Joshua:16:10 @ However they did not drive out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer: so the Canaanites have dwelt in the midst of E'phraim to this day but have become slaves to do forced labor.

rsv@Joshua:17:1 @ Then allotment was made to the tri be of Manas'seh, for he was the first-born of Joseph. To Machir the first-born of Manas'seh, the father of Gilead, were allotted Gilead and Bashan, because he was a man of war.

rsv@Joshua:17:2 @ And allotments were made to the rest of the tri be of Manas'seh, by their families, Abi-e'zer, Helek, As'ri-el, Shechem, Hepher, and Shemi'da; these were the male descendants of Manas'seh the son of Joseph, by their families.

rsv@Joshua:17:4 @ They came before Elea'zar the priest and Joshua the son of Nun and the leaders, and said, "The LORD commanded Moses to give us an inheritance along with our brethren." So according to the commandment of the LORD he gave them an inheritance among the brethren of their father.

rsv@Joshua:17:5 @ Thus there fell to Manas'seh ten portions, besides the land of Gilead and Bashan, which is on the other side of the Jordan;

rsv@Joshua:17:6 @ because the daughters of Manas'seh received an inheritance along with his sons. The land of Gilead was allotted to the rest of the Manas'sites.

rsv@Joshua:17:8 @ The land of Tap'puah belonged to Manas'seh, but the town of Tap'puah on the boundary of Manas'seh belonged to the sons of E'phraim.

rsv@Joshua:17:9 @ Then the boundary went down to the brook Kanah. The cities here, to the south of the brook, among the cities of Manas'seh, belong to E'phraim. Then the boundary of Manas'seh goes on the north side of the brook and ends at the sea;

rsv@Joshua:17:14 @ And the tri be of Joseph spoke to Joshua, saying, "Why have you given me but one lot and one portion as an inheritance, although I am a numerous people, since hitherto the LORD has blessed me?"

rsv@Joshua:17:16 @ The tri be of Joseph said, "The hill country is not enough for us; yet all the Canaanites who dwell in the plain have chariots of iron, both those in Beth-she'an and its villages and those in the Valley of Jezreel."

rsv@Joshua:17:18 @ but the hill country shall be yours, for though it is a forest, you shall clear it and possess it to its farthest borders; for you shall drive out the Canaanites, though they have chariots of iron, and though they are strong."

rsv@Joshua:18:1 @ Then the whole congregation of the people of Israel assembled at Shiloh, and set up the tent of meeting there; the land lay subdued before them.

rsv@Joshua:18:2 @ There remained among the people of Israel seven tri bes whose inheritance had not yet been apportioned.

rsv@Joshua:18:3 @ So Joshua said to the people of Israel, "How long will you be slack to go in and take possession of the land, which the LORD, the God of your fathers, has given you?

rsv@Joshua:18:4 @ Provide three men from each tri be, and I will send them out that they may set out and go up and down the land, writing a description of it with a view to their inheritances, and then come to me.

rsv@Joshua:18:6 @ And you shall descri be the land in seven divisions and bring the description here to me; and I will cast lots for you here before the LORD our God.

rsv@Joshua:18:7 @ The Levites have no portion among you, for the priesthood of the LORD is their heritage; and Gad and Reu ben and half the tri be of Manas'seh have received their inheritance beyond the Jordan eastward, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave them."

rsv@Joshua:18:8 @ So the men started on their way; and Joshua charged those who went to write the description of the land, saying, "Go up and down and write a description of the land, and come again to me; and I will cast lots for you here before the LORD in Shiloh."

rsv@Joshua:18:10 @ and Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before the LORD; and there Joshua apportioned the land to the people of Israel, to each his portion.

rsv@Joshua:18:11 @ The lot of the tri be of Benjamin according to its families came up, and the territory allotted to it fell between the tri be of Judah and the tri be of Joseph.

rsv@Joshua:18:12 @ On the north side their boundary began at the Jordan; then the boundary goes up to the shoulder north of Jericho, then up through the hill country westward; and it ends at the wilderness of Beth-a'ven.

rsv@Joshua:18:13 @ From there the boundary passes along southward in the direction of Luz, to the shoulder of Luz (the same is Bethel), then the boundary goes down to At'aroth-ad'dar, upon the mountain that lies south of Lower Beth-hor'on.

rsv@Joshua:18:15 @ And the southern side begins at the outskirts of Kir'iath-je'arim; and the boundary goes from there to Ephron, to the spring of the Waters of Nephto'ah;

rsv@Joshua:18:17 @ then it bends in a northerly direction going on to En-she'mesh, and thence goes to Geli'loth, which is opposite the ascent of Adum'mim; then it goes down to the Stone of Bohan the son of Reu ben;

rsv@Ruth:2:19 @ And her mother-in-law said to her, "Where did you glean today? And where have you worked? Blessed be the man who took notice of you." So she told her mother-in-law with whom she had worked, and said, "The man's name with whom I worked today is Bo'az."

rsv@Ruth:2:20 @ And Na'omi said to her daughter-in-law, "Blessed be he by the LORD, whose kindness has not forsaken the living or the dead!" Na'omi also said to her, "The man is a relative of ours, one of our nearest kin."

rsv@Ruth:4:12 @ and may your house be like the house of Perez, whom Tamar bore to Judah, because of the children that the LORD will give you by this young woman."

rsv@Ruth:4:13 @ So Bo'az took Ruth and she became his wife; and he went in to her, and the LORD gave her conception, and she bore a son.

rsv@2Chronicles:32:15 @ Now therefore do not let Hezeki'ah deceive you or mislead you in this fashion, and do not believe him, for no god of any nation or kingdom has been able to deliver his people from my hand or from the hand of my fathers. How much less will your God deliver you out of my hand!'"

rsv@2Chronicles:32:20 @ Then Hezeki'ah the king and Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, prayed because of this and cried to heaven.

rsv@2Chronicles:32:24 @ In those days Hezeki'ah became sick and was at the point of death, and he prayed to the LORD; and he answered him and gave him a sign.

rsv@2Chronicles:32:25 @ But Hezeki'ah did not make return according to the benefit done to him, for his heart was proud. Therefore wrath came upon him and Judah and Jerusalem.

rsv@2Chronicles:34:33 @ And Josi'ah took away all the abominations from all the territory that belonged to the people of Israel, and made all who were in Israel serve the LORD their God. All his days they did not turn away from following the LORD the God of their fathers.

rsv@Nehemiah:2:1 @ In the month of Nisan, in the twentieth year of King Ar-ta-xerx'es, when wine was before him, I took up the wine and gave it to the king. Now I had not been sad in his presence.

rsv@Nehemiah:2:3 @ I said to the king, "Let the king live for ever! Why should not my face be sad, when the city, the place of my fathers' sepulchres, lies waste, and its gates have been destroyed by fire?"

rsv@Nehemiah:2:6 @ And the king said to me (the queen sitting beside him), "How long will you be gone, and when will you return?" So it pleased the king to send me; and I set him a time.

And the king granted me what I asked, for the good hand of my God was upon me.

rsv@Nehemiah:2:9 @ Then I came to the governors of the province Beyond the River, and gave them the king's letters. Now the king had sent with me officers of the army and horsemen.

rsv@Nehemiah:2:12 @ Then I arose in the night, I and a few men with me; and I told no one what my God had put into my heart to do for Jerusalem. There was no beast with me but the beast on which I rode.

rsv@Nehemiah:2:13 @ I went out by night by the Valley Gate to the Jackal's Well and to the Dung Gate, and I inspected the walls of Jerusalem which were broken down and its gates which had been destroyed by fire.

rsv@Nehemiah:2:14 @ Then I went on to the Fountain Gate and to the King's Pool; but there was no place for the beast that was under me to pass.

rsv@Nehemiah:2:18 @ And I told them of the hand of my God which had been upon me for good, and also of the words which the king had spoken to me. And they said, "Let us rise up and build." So they strengthened their hands for the good work.

rsv@Nehemiah:2:19 @ But when Sanbal'lat the Hor'onite and Tobi'ah the servant, the Ammonite, and Geshem the Arab heard of it, they derided us and despised us and said, "What is this thing that you are doing? Are you re belling against the king?"

rsv@Nehemiah:3:14 @ Malchi'jah the son of Rechab, ruler of the district of Beth-hacche'rem, repaired the Dung Gate; he rebuilt it and set its doors, its bolts, and its bars.

rsv@Nehemiah:3:16 @ After him Nehemi'ah the son of Azbuk, ruler of half the district of Beth-zur, repaired to a point opposite the sepulchres of David, to the artificial pool, and to the house of the mighty men.

rsv@Nehemiah:3:23 @ After them Benjamin and Hasshub repaired opposite their house. After them Azari'ah the son of Ma-asei'ah, son of Anani'ah repaired beside his own house.

rsv@Nehemiah:3:32 @ And between the upper cham ber of the corner and the Sheep Gate the goldsmiths and the merchants repaired.

rsv@Nehemiah:4:4 @ Hear, O our God, for we are despised; turn back their taunt upon their own heads, and give them up to be plundered in a land where they are captives.

rsv@Nehemiah:4:5 @ Do not cover their guilt, and let not their sin be blotted out from thy sight; for they have provoked thee to anger before the builders.

rsv@Nehemiah:4:7 @ But when Sanbal'lat and Tobi'ah and the Arabs and the Ammonites and the Ash'dodites heard that the repairing of the walls of Jerusalem was going forward and that the breaches were beginning to be closed, they were very angry;

rsv@Nehemiah:4:10 @ But Judah said, "The strength of the burden- bearers is failing, and there is much rubbish; we are not able to work on the wall."

rsv@Nehemiah:4:13 @ So in the lowest parts of the space behind the wall, in open places, I stationed the people according to their families, with their swords, their spears, and their bows.

rsv@Nehemiah:4:14 @ And I looked, and arose, and said to the nobles and to the officials and to the rest of the people, "Do not be afraid of them. Remem ber the Lord, who is great and terrible, and fight for your brethren, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your homes."

rsv@Nehemiah:4:16 @ From that day on, half of my servants worked on construction, and half held the spears, shields, bows, and coats of mail; and the leaders stood behind all the house of Judah,

rsv@Nehemiah:4:18 @ And each of the builders had his sword girded at his side while he built. The man who sounded the trumpet was beside me.

rsv@Nehemiah:4:22 @ I also said to the people at that time, "Let every man and his servant pass the night within Jerusalem, that they may be a guard for us by night and may labor by day."

rsv@Nehemiah:5:3 @ There were also those who said, "We are mortgaging our fields, our vineyards, and our houses to get grain because of the famine."

rsv@Nehemiah:5:5 @ Now our flesh is as the flesh of our brethren, our children are as their children; yet we are forcing our sons and our daughters to be slaves, and some of our daughters have already been enslaved; but it is not in our power to help it, for other men have our fields and our vineyards."

rsv@Nehemiah:5:8 @ and said to them, "We, as far as we are able, have bought back our Jewish brethren who have been sold to the nations; but you even sell your brethren that they may be sold to us!" They were silent, and could not find a word to say.

rsv@Nehemiah:5:11 @ Return to them this very day their fields, their vineyards, their olive orchards, and their houses, and the hundredth of money, grain, wine, and oil which you have been exacting of them."

rsv@Nehemiah:5:13 @ I also shook out my lap and said, "So may God shake out every man from his house and from his labor who does not perform this promise. So may he be shaken out and emptied." And all the assembly said "Amen" and praised the LORD. And the people did as they had promised.

rsv@Nehemiah:5:14 @ Moreover from the time that I was appointed to be their governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year to the thirty-second year of Ar-ta-xerx'es the king, twelve years, neither I nor my brethren ate the food allowance of the governor.

rsv@Nehemiah:5:15 @ The former governors who were before me laid heavy burdens upon the people, and took from them food and wine, besides forty shekels of silver. Even their servants lorded it over the people. But I did not do so, because of the fear of God.

rsv@Nehemiah:5:17 @ Moreover there were at my table a hundred and fifty men, Jews and officials, besides those who came to us from the nations which were about us.

rsv@Nehemiah:5:18 @ Now that which was prepared for one day was one ox and six choice sheep; fowls likewise were prepared for me, and every ten days skins of wine in abundance; yet with all this I did not demand the food allowance of the governor, because the servitude was heavy upon this people.

rsv@Nehemiah:5:19 @ Remem ber for my good, O my God, all that I have done for this people.

rsv@Nehemiah:6:6 @ In it was written, "It is reported among the nations, and Geshem also says it, that you and the Jews intend to re bel; that is why you are building the wall; and you wish to become their king, according to this report.

rsv@Nehemiah:6:7 @ And you have also set up prophets to proclaim concerning you in Jerusalem, `There is a king in Judah.' And now it will be reported to the king according to these words. So now come, and let us take counsel together."

rsv@Nehemiah:6:8 @ Then I sent to him, saying, "No such things as you say have been done, for you are inventing them out of your own mind."

rsv@Nehemiah:6:9 @ For they all wanted to frighten us, thinking, "Their hands will drop from the work, and it will not be done." But now, O God, strengthen thou my hands.

rsv@Nehemiah:6:10 @ Now when I went into the house of Shemai'ah the son of Delai'ah, son of Mehet'a bel, who was shut up, he said, "Let us meet together in the house of God, within the temple, and let us close the doors of the temple; for they are coming to kill you, at night they are coming to kill you."

rsv@Nehemiah:6:12 @ And I understood, and saw that God had not sent him, but he had pronounced the prophecy against me because Tobi'ah and Sanbal'lat had hired him.

rsv@Nehemiah:6:13 @ For this purpose he was hired, that I should be afraid and act in this way and sin, and so they could give me an evil name, in order to taunt me.

rsv@Nehemiah:6:14 @ Remem ber Tobi'ah and Sanbal'lat, O my God, according to these things that they did, and also the prophetess No-adi'ah and the rest of the prophets who wanted to make me afraid.

rsv@Nehemiah:6:16 @ And when all our enemies heard of it, all the nations round about us were afraid and fell greatly in their own esteem; for they perceived that this work had been accomplished with the help of our God.

rsv@Nehemiah:6:18 @ For many in Judah were bound by oath to him, because he was the son-in-law of Shecani'ah the son of Arah: and his son Jehoha'nan had taken the daughter of Meshul'lam the son of Berechi'ah as his wife.

rsv@Nehemiah:7:1 @ Now when the wall had been built and I had set up the doors, and the gatekeepers, the singers, and the Levites had been appointed,

rsv@Nehemiah:7:3 @ And I said to them, "Let not the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun is hot; and while they are still standing guard let them shut and bar the doors. Appoint guards from among the inhabitants of Jerusalem, each to his station and each opposite his own house."

rsv@Nehemiah:7:4 @ The city was wide and large, but the people within it were few and no houses had been built.

rsv@Nehemiah:7:5 @ Then God put it into my mind to assemble the nobles and the officials and the people to be enrolled by genealogy. And I found the book of the genealogy of those who came up at the first, and I found written in it:

rsv@Nehemiah:8:9 @ And Nehemi'ah, who was the governor, and Ezra the priest and scri be, and the Levites who taught the people said to all the people, "This day is holy to the LORD your God; do not mourn or weep." For all the people wept when they heard the words of the law.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:6:10 @ Whatever has come to be has already been named, and it is known what man is, and that he is not able to dispute with one stronger than he.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:6:11 @ The more words, the more vanity, and what is man the better?

rsv@Ecclesiastes:6:12 @ For who knows what is good for man while he lives the few days of his vain life, which he passes like a shadow? For who can tell man what will be after him under the sun?

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:1 @ A good name is better than precious ointment; and the day of death, than the day of birth.

rsv@Daniel:1:1 @ In the third year of the reign of Jehoi'akim king of Judah, Nebuchadnez'zar king of Babylon came to Jerusalem and besieged it.

rsv@Daniel:1:5 @ The king assigned them a daily portion of the rich food which the king ate, and of the wine which he drank. They were to be educated for three years, and at the end of that time they were to stand before the king.

rsv@Daniel:1:6 @ Among these were Daniel, Hanani'ah, Mish'a-el, and Azari'ah of the tri be of Judah.

rsv@Daniel:1:7 @ And the chief of the eunuchs gave them names: Daniel he called Belteshaz'zar, Hanani'ah he called Shadrach, Mish'a-el he called Meshach, and Azari'ah he called A bed'nego.

rsv@Daniel:1:12 @ "Test your servants for ten days; let us be given vegetables to eat and water to drink.

rsv@Daniel:1:13 @ Then let our appearance and the appearance of the youths who eat the king's rich food be observed by you, and according to what you see deal with your servants."

rsv@Daniel:1:15 @ At the end of ten days it was seen that they were better in appearance and fatter in flesh than all the youths who ate the king's rich food.

rsv@Daniel:1:18 @ At the end of the time, when the king had commanded that they should be brought in, the chief of the eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnez'zar.

rsv@Daniel:1:19 @ And the king spoke with them, and among them all none was found like Daniel, Hanani'ah, Mish'a-el, and Azari'ah; therefore they stood before the king.

rsv@Daniel:1:20 @ And in every matter of wisdom and understanding concerning which the king inquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and enchanters that were in all his kingdom.

rsv@Daniel:2:2 @ Then the king commanded that the magicians, the enchanters, the sorcerers, and the Chalde'ans be summoned, to tell the king his dreams. So they came in and stood before the king.

rsv@Daniel:2:5 @ The king answered the Chalde'ans, "The word from me is sure: if you do not make known to me the dream and its interpretation, you shall be torn limb from limb, and your houses shall be laid in ruins.

rsv@Daniel:2:8 @ The king answered, "I know with certainty that you are trying to gain time, because you see that the word from me is sure

rsv@Daniel:2:9 @ that if you do not make the dream known to me, there is but one sentence for you. You have agreed to speak lying and corrupt words before me till the times change. Therefore tell me the dream, and I shall know that you can show me its interpretation."

rsv@Daniel:2:12 @ Because of this the king was angry and very furious, and commanded that all the wise men of Babylon be destroyed.

rsv@Daniel:2:13 @ So the decree went forth that the wise men were to be slain, and they sought Daniel and his companions, to slay them.

rsv@Daniel:2:16 @ And Daniel went in and besought the king to appoint him a time, that he might show to the king the interpretation.

rsv@Daniel:2:20 @ Daniel said: "Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever. to whom belong wisdom and might.

rsv@Daniel:2:24 @ Therefore Daniel went in to Ar'i-och, whom the king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon; he went and said thus to him, "Do not destroy the wise men of Babylon; bring me in before the king, and I will show the king the interpretation."

rsv@Daniel:2:25 @ Then Ar'i-och brought in Daniel before the king in haste, and said thus to him: "I have found among the exiles from Judah a man who can make known to the king the interpretation."

rsv@Daniel:2:26 @ The king said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshaz'zar, "Are you able to make known to me the dream that I have seen and its interpretation?"

rsv@Daniel:2:28 @ but there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries, and he has made known to King Nebuchadnez'zar what will be in the latter days. Your dream and the visions of your head as you lay in bed are these:

rsv@Daniel:2:29 @ To you, O king, as you lay in bed came thoughts of what would be hereafter, and he who reveals mysteries made known to you what is to be.

rsv@Daniel:2:30 @ But as for me, not because of any wisdom that I have more than all the living has this mystery been revealed to me, but in order that the interpretation may be made known to the king, and that you may know the thoughts of your mind.

rsv@Daniel:2:31 @ "You saw, O king, and behold, a great image. This image, mighty and of exceeding brightness, stood before you, and its appearance was frightening.

rsv@Daniel:2:32 @ The head of this image was of fine gold, its breast and arms of silver, its belly and thighs of bronze,

rsv@Daniel:2:35 @ then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold, all together were broken in pieces, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away, so that not a trace of them could be found. But the stone that struck the image became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.

rsv@Daniel:2:38 @ and into whose hand he has given, wherever they dwell, the sons of men, the beasts of the field, and the birds of the air, making you rule over them all--you are the head of gold.

rsv@Daniel:2:40 @ And there shall be a fourth kingdom, strong as iron, because iron breaks to pieces and shatters all things; and like iron which crushes, it shall break and crush all these.

rsv@Daniel:2:41 @ And as you saw the feet and toes partly of potter's clay and partly of iron, it shall be a divided kingdom; but some of the firmness of iron shall be in it, just as you saw iron mixed with the miry clay.

rsv@Daniel:2:42 @ And as the toes of the feet were partly iron and partly clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly brittle.

rsv@Daniel:2:44 @ And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed, nor shall its sovereignty be left to another people. It shall break in pieces all these kingdoms and bring them to an end, and it shall stand for ever;

rsv@Daniel:2:45 @ just as you saw that a stone was cut from a mountain by no human hand, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold. A great God has made known to the king what shall be hereafter. The dream is certain, and its interpretation sure."

rsv@Daniel:2:46 @ Then King Nebuchadnez'zar fell upon his face, and did homage to Daniel, and commanded that an offering and incense be offered up to him.

rsv@Daniel:2:47 @ The king said to Daniel, "Truly, your God is God of gods and Lord of kings, and a revealer of mysteries, for you have been able to reveal this mystery."

rsv@Daniel:2:49 @ Daniel made request of the king, and he appointed Shadrach, Meshach, and A bed'nego over the affairs of the province of Babylon; but Daniel remained at the king's court.

rsv@Daniel:3:3 @ Then the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, the counselors, the treasurers, the justices, the magistrates, and all the officials of the provinces, were assembled for the dedication of the image that King Nebuchadnez'zar had set up; and they stood before the image that Nebuchadnez'zar had set up.

rsv@Daniel:3:6 @ and whoever does not fall down and worship shall immediately be cast into a burning fiery furnace."

rsv@Daniel:3:11 @ and whoever does not fall down and worship shall be cast into a burning fiery furnace.

rsv@Daniel:3:12 @ There are certain Jews whom you have appointed over the affairs of the province of Babylon: Shadrach, Meshach, and A bed'nego. These men, O king, pay no heed to you; they do not serve your gods or worship the golden image which you have set up."

rsv@Daniel:3:13 @ Then Nebuchadnez'zar in furious rage commanded that Shadrach, Meshach, and A bed'nego be brought. Then they brought these men before the king.

rsv@Daniel:3:14 @ Nebuchadnez'zar said to them, "Is it true, O Shadrach, Meshach, and A bed'nego, that you do not serve my gods or worship the golden image which I have set up?

rsv@Daniel:3:15 @ Now if you are ready when you hear the sound of the horn, pipe, lyre, trigon, harp, bagpipe, and every kind of music, to fall down and worship the image which I have made, well and good; but if you do not worship, you shall immediately be cast into a burning fiery furnace; and who is the god that will deliver you out of my hands?"

rsv@Daniel:3:16 @ Shadrach, Meshach, and A bed'nego answered the king, "O Nebuchadnez'zar, we have no need to answer you in this matter.

rsv@Daniel:3:17 @ If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace; and he will deliver us out of your hand, O king.

rsv@Daniel:3:18 @ But if not, be it known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the golden image which you have set up."

rsv@Daniel:3:19 @ Then Nebuchadnez'zar was full of fury, and the expression of his face was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and A bed'nego. He ordered the furnace heated seven times more than it was wont to be heated.

rsv@Daniel:3:20 @ And he ordered certain mighty men of his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and A bed'nego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace.

rsv@Daniel:3:22 @ Because the king's order was strict and the furnace very hot, the flame of the fire slew those men who took up Shadrach, Meshach, and A bed'nego.

rsv@Daniel:3:23 @ And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and A bed'nego, fell bound into the burning fiery furnace.

rsv@Daniel:3:26 @ Then Nebuchadnez'zar came near to the door of the burning fiery furnace and said, "Shadrach, Meshach, and A bed'nego, servants of the Most High God, come forth, and come here!" Then Shadrach, Meshach, and A bed'nego came out from the fire.

rsv@Daniel:3:28 @ Nebuchadnez'zar said, "Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and A bed'nego, who has sent his angel and delivered his servants, who trusted in him, and set at nought the king's command, and yielded up their bodies rather than serve and worship any god except their own God.

rsv@Daniel:3:29 @ Therefore I make a decree: Any people, nation, or language that speaks anything against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and A bed'nego shall be torn limb from limb, and their houses laid in ruins; for there is no other god who is able to deliver in this way."

rsv@Daniel:3:30 @ Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and A bed'nego in the province of Babylon.

rsv@Daniel:4:1 @ King Nebuchadnez'zar to all peoples, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth: Peace be multiplied to you!

rsv@Daniel:4:5 @ I had a dream which made me afraid; as I lay in bed the fancies and the visions of my head alarmed me.

rsv@Daniel:4:6 @ Therefore I made a decree that all the wise men of Babylon should be brought before me, that they might make known to me the interpretation of the dream.

rsv@Daniel:4:8 @ At last Daniel came in before me--he who was named Belteshaz'zar after the name of my god, and in whom is the spirit of the holy gods--and I told him the dream, saying,

rsv@Daniel:4:9 @ "O Belteshaz'zar, chief of the magicians, because I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in you and that no mystery is difficult for you, here is the dream which I saw; tell me its interpretation.

rsv@Daniel:4:10 @ The visions of my head as I lay in bed were these: I saw, and behold, a tree in the midst of the earth; and its height was great.

rsv@Daniel:4:11 @ The tree grew and became strong, and its top reached to heaven, and it was visible to the end of the whole earth.

rsv@Daniel:4:12 @ Its leaves were fair and its fruit abundant, and in it was food for all. The beasts of the field found shade under it, and the birds of the air dwelt in its branches, and all flesh was fed from it.

rsv@Daniel:4:13 @ "I saw in the visions of my head as I lay in bed, and behold, a watcher, a holy one, came down from heaven.

rsv@Daniel:4:14 @ He cried aloud and said thus, `Hew down the tree and cut off its branches, strip off its leaves and scatter its fruit; let the beasts flee from under it and the birds from its branches.

rsv@Daniel:4:15 @ But leave the stump of its roots in the earth, bound with a band of iron and bronze, amid the tender grass of the field. Let him be wet with the dew of heaven; let his lot be with the beasts in the grass of the earth;

rsv@Daniel:4:19 @ Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshaz'zar, was dismayed for a moment, and his thoughts alarmed him. The king said, " Belteshaz'zar, let not the dream or the interpretation alarm you." Belteshaz'zar answered, "My lord, may the dream be for those who hate you and its interpretation for your enemies!

rsv@Daniel:4:26 @ And as it was commanded to leave the stump of the roots of the tree, your kingdom shall be sure for you from the time that you know that Heaven rules.

rsv@Daniel:4:27 @ Therefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable to you; break off your sins by practicing righteousness, and your iniquities by showing mercy to the oppressed, that there may perhaps be a lengthening of your tranquillity."

rsv@Daniel:5:1 @ King Belshaz'zar made a great feast for a thousand of his lords, and drank wine in front of the thousand.

rsv@Daniel:5:2 @ Belshaz'zar, when he tasted the wine, commanded that the vessels of gold and of silver which Nebuchadnez'zar his father had taken out of the temple in Jerusalem be brought, that the king and his lords, his wives, and his concubines might drink from them.

rsv@Daniel:5:3 @ Then they brought in the golden and silver vessels which had been taken out of the temple, the house of God in Jerusalem; and the king and his lords, his wives, and his concubines drank from them.

rsv@Daniel:5:7 @ The king cried aloud to bring in the enchanters, the Chalde'ans, and the astrologers.

rsv@Daniel:5:9 @ Then King Belshaz'zar was greatly alarmed, and his color changed; and his lords were perplexed.

rsv@Daniel:5:10 @ The queen, because of the words of the king and his lords, came into the banqueting hall; and the queen said, "O king, live for ever! Let not your thoughts alarm you or your color change.

rsv@Daniel:5:12 @ because an excellent spirit, knowledge, and understanding to interpret dreams, explain riddles, and solve problems were found in this Daniel, whom the king named Belteshaz'zar. Now let Daniel be called, and he will show the interpretation."

rsv@Daniel:5:13 @ Then Daniel was brought in before the king. The king said to Daniel, "You are that Daniel, one of the exiles of Judah, whom the king my father brought from Judah.

rsv@Daniel:7:5 @ And behold, another beast, a second one, like a bear. It was raised up on one side; it had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth; and it was told, `Arise, devour much flesh.'

rsv@Daniel:7:6 @ After this I looked, and lo, another, like a leopard, with four wings of a bird on its back; and the beast had four heads; and dominion was given to it.

rsv@Daniel:7:7 @ After this I saw in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast, terrible and dreadful and exceedingly strong; and it had great iron teeth; it devoured and broke in pieces, and stamped the residue with its feet.

rsv@Daniel:7:8 @ I considered the horns, and behold, there came up among them another horn, a little one, before which three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots; and behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking great things.

rsv@Daniel:7:10 @ A stream of fire issued and came forth from before him; a thousand thousands served him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him; the court sat in judgment, and the books were opened.

rsv@Daniel:7:11 @ I looked then because of the sound of the great words which the horn was speaking. And as I looked, the beast was slain, and its body destroyed and given over to be burned with fire.

rsv@Daniel:7:12 @ As for the rest of the beasts, their dominion was taken away, but their lives were prolonged for a season and a time.

rsv@Daniel:8:3 @ I raised my eyes and saw, and behold, a ram standing on the bank of the river. It had two horns; and both horns were high, but one was higher than the other, and the higher one came up last.

rsv@Daniel:8:4 @ I saw the ram charging westward and northward and southward; no beast could stand before him, and there was no one who could rescue from his power; he did as he pleased and magnified himself.

rsv@Daniel:8:5 @ As I was considering, behold, a he-goat came from the west across the face of the whole earth, without touching the ground; and the goat had a conspicuous horn between his eyes.

rsv@Daniel:8:7 @ I saw him come close to the ram, and he was enraged against him and struck the ram and broke his two horns; and the ram had no power to stand before him, but he cast him down to the ground and trampled upon him; and there was no one who could rescue the ram from his power.

rsv@Daniel:8:13 @ Then I heard a holy one speaking; and another holy one said to the one that spoke, "For how long is the vision concerning the continual burnt offering, the transgression that makes desolate, and the giving over of the sanctuary and host to be trampled under foot?"

rsv@Daniel:8:14 @ And he said to him, "For two thousand and three hundred evenings and mornings; then the sanctuary shall be restored to its rightful state."

rsv@Matthew:12:24 @ But when the Pharisees heard it they said, "It is only by Be-el'zebul, the prince of demons, that this man casts out demons."

rsv@Matthew:12:27 @ And if I cast out demons by Be-el'zebul, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges.

rsv@Matthew:12:31 @ Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.

rsv@Matthew:12:32 @ And whoever says a word against the Son of man will be forgiven; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come.

rsv@Matthew:12:37 @ for by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned."

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

rsv@Matthew:12:39 @ But he answered them, "An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign; but no sign shall be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.

rsv@Matthew:12:40 @ For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the whale, so will the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

rsv@Matthew:12:41 @ The men of Nin'eveh will arise at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and behold, something greater than Jonah is here.

rsv@Matthew:12:42 @ The queen of the South will arise at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold, something greater than Solomon is here.

rsv@Matthew:12:45 @ Then he goes and brings with him seven other spirits more evil than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man becomes worse than the first. So shall it be also with this evil generation."

rsv@Matthew:12:46 @ While he was still speaking to the people, behold, his mother and his brothers stood outside, asking to speak to him.

rsv@Matthew:13:1 @ That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat beside the sea.

rsv@Matthew:13:2 @ And great crowds gathered about him, so that he got into a boat and sat there; and the whole crowd stood on the beach.

rsv@Matthew:13:11 @ And he answered them, "To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given.

rsv@Matthew:13:12 @ For to him who has will more be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away.

rsv@Matthew:13:13 @ This is why I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.

rsv@Matthew:13:23 @ As for what was sown on good soil, this is he who hears the word and understands it; he indeed bears fruit, and yields, in one case a hundredfold, in another sixty, and in another thirty."

rsv@Matthew:13:24 @ Another parable he put before them, saying, "The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field;

rsv@Matthew:13:30 @ Let both grow together until the harvest; and at harvest time I will tell the reapers, Gather the weeds first and bind them in bundles to be burned, but gather the wheat into my barn.'"

rsv@Matthew:13:31 @ Another parable he put before them, saying, "The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed which a man took and sowed in his field;

rsv@Matthew:13:32 @ it is the smallest of all seeds, but when it has grown it is the greatest of shrubs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches."

rsv@Matthew:13:35 @ This was to fulfil what was spoken by the prophet: "I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter what has been hidden since the foundation of the world."

rsv@Matthew:13:40 @ Just as the weeds are gathered and burned with fire, so will it be at the close of the age.

rsv@Matthew:13:49 @ So it will be at the close of the age. The angels will come out and separate the evil from the righteous,

rsv@Matthew:13:52 @ And he said to them, "Therefore every scri be who has been trained for the kingdom of heaven is like a householder who brings out of his treasure what is new and what is old."

rsv@Matthew:13:58 @ And he did not do many mighty works there, because of their un belief.

rsv@Matthew:14:2 @ and he said to his servants, "This is John the Baptist, he has been raised from the dead; that is why these powers are at work in him."

rsv@Matthew:14:4 @ because John said to him, "It is not lawful for you to have her."

rsv@Matthew:14:5 @ And though he wanted to put him to death, he feared the people, because they held him to be a prophet.

rsv@Matthew:14:6 @ But when Herod's birthday came, the daughter of Hero'di-as danced before the company, and pleased Herod,

rsv@Matthew:14:9 @ And the king was sorry; but because of his oaths and his guests he commanded it to be given;

rsv@Matthew:14:10 @ he sent and had John beheaded in the prison,

rsv@Matthew:14:21 @ And those who ate were about five thousand men, besides women and children.

rsv@Matthew:14:22 @ Then he made the disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowds.

rsv@Matthew:14:24 @ but the boat by this time was many furlongs distant from the land, beaten by the waves; for the wind was against them.

rsv@Matthew:14:30 @ but when he saw the wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, "Lord, save me."

rsv@Matthew:14:36 @ and besought him that they might only touch the fringe of his garment; and as many as touched it were made well.

rsv@Matthew:15:1 @ Then Pharisees and scri bes came to Jesus from Jerusalem and said,

rsv@Matthew:15:13 @ He answered, "Every plant which my heavenly Father has not planted will be rooted up.

rsv@Matthew:15:22 @ And behold, a Canaanite woman from that region came out and cried, "Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David; my daughter is severely possessed by a demon."

rsv@Matthew:15:23 @ But he did not answer her a word. And his disciples came and begged him, saying, "Send her away, for she is crying after us."

rsv@Matthew:15:25 @ But she came and knelt before him, saying, "Lord, help me."

rsv@Matthew:15:28 @ Then Jesus answered her, "O woman, great is your faith! Be it done for you as you desire." And her daughter was healed instantly.

rsv@Matthew:15:32 @ Then Jesus called his disciples to him and said, "I have compassion on the crowd, because they have been with me now three days, and have nothing to eat; and I am unwilling to send them away hungry, lest they faint on the way."

rsv@Matthew:15:38 @ Those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.

rsv@Matthew:16:2 @ He answered them, "When it is evening, you say, `It will be fair weather; for the sky is red.'

rsv@Matthew:16:3 @ And in the morning, `It will be stormy today, for the sky is red and threatening.' You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times.

rsv@Matthew:16:4 @ An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign, but no sign shall be given to it except the sign of Jonah." So he left them and departed.

rsv@Matthew:16:6 @ Jesus said to them, "Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sad'ducees."

rsv@Matthew:16:9 @ Do you not yet perceive? Do you not remem ber the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets you gathered?

rsv@Matthew:16:11 @ How is it that you fail to perceive that I did not speak about bread? Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sad'ducees."

rsv@Matthew:16:12 @ Then they understood that he did not tell them to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sad'ducees.

rsv@Matthew:16:19 @ I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven."

rsv@Matthew:16:21 @ From that time Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scri bes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised.

rsv@Matthew:16:22 @ And Peter took him and began to rebuke him, saying, "God forbid, Lord! This shall never happen to you."

rsv@Matthew:16:23 @ But he turned and said to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan! You are a hindrance to me; for you are not on the side of God, but of men."

rsv@Matthew:16:28 @ Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom."

rsv@Matthew:17:2 @ And he was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his garments became white as light.

rsv@Matthew:17:14 @ And when they came to the crowd, a man came up to him and kneeling before him said,

rsv@Matthew:17:17 @ And Jesus answered, "O faithless and perverse generation, how long am I to be with you? How long am I to bear with you? Bring him here to me."

rsv@Matthew:17:20 @ He said to them, " Because of your little faith. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, `Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you."

rsv@Matthew:17:21 @ As they were gathering in Galilee, Jesus said to them, "The Son of man is to be delivered into the hands of men,

rsv@Matthew:26:23 @ He answered, "He who has dipped his hand in the dish with me, will betray me.

rsv@Matthew:26:24 @ The Son of man goes as it is written of him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man if he had not been born."

rsv@Matthew:26:25 @ Judas, who betrayed him, said, "Is it I, Master?" He said to him, "You have said so."

rsv@Matthew:26:31 @ Then Jesus said to them, "You will all fall away because of me this night; for it is written, `I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.'

rsv@Matthew:26:32 @ But after I am raised up, I will go before you to Galilee."

rsv@Matthew:26:33 @ Peter declared to him, "Though they all fall away because of you, I will never fall away."

rsv@Matthew:26:34 @ Jesus said to him, "Truly, I say to you, this very night, before the cock crows, you will deny me three times."

rsv@Matthew:26:37 @ And taking with him Peter and the two sons of Zeb'edee, he began to be sorrowful and troubled.

rsv@Matthew:26:39 @ And going a little farther he fell on his face and prayed, "My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt."

rsv@Matthew:26:42 @ Again, for the second time, he went away and prayed, "My Father, if this cannot pass unless I drink it, thy will be done."

rsv@Matthew:26:45 @ Then he came to the disciples and said to them, "Are you still sleeping and taking your rest? Behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

rsv@Matthew:26:46 @ Rise, let us be going; see, my betrayer is at hand."

rsv@Matthew:26:48 @ Now the betrayer had given them a sign, saying, "The one I shall kiss is the man; seize him."

rsv@Matthew:26:51 @ And behold, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, and struck the slave of the high priest, and cut off his ear.

rsv@Matthew:26:54 @ But how then should the scriptures be fulfilled, that it must be so?"

rsv@Matthew:26:55 @ At that hour Jesus said to the crowds, "Have you come out as against a rob ber, with swords and clubs to capture me? Day after day I sat in the temple teaching, and you did not seize me.

rsv@Matthew:26:56 @ But all this has taken place, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled." Then all the disciples forsook him and fled.

rsv@Matthew:26:57 @ Then those who had seized Jesus led him to Ca'iaphas the high priest, where the scri bes and the elders had gathered.

rsv@Matthew:26:65 @ Then the high priest tore his ro bes, and said, "He has uttered blasphemy. Why do we still need witnesses? You have now heard his blasphemy.

rsv@Matthew:26:70 @ But he denied it before them all, saying, "I do not know what you mean."

rsv@Matthew:26:73 @ After a little while the bystanders came up and said to Peter, "Certainly you are also one of them, for your accent betrays you."

rsv@Matthew:26:74 @ Then he began to invoke a curse on himself and to swear, "I do not know the man." And immediately the cock crowed.

rsv@Matthew:26:75 @ And Peter remem bered the saying of Jesus, " Before the cock crows, you will deny me three times." And he went out and wept bitterly.

rsv@Matthew:27:3 @ When Judas, his betrayer, saw that he was condemned, he repented and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders,

rsv@Matthew:27:4 @ saying, "I have sinned in betraying innocent blood." They said, "What is that to us? See to it yourself."

rsv@Matthew:27:8 @ Therefore that field has been called the Field of Blood to this day.

rsv@Matthew:27:9 @ Then was fulfilled what had been spoken by the prophet Jeremiah, saying, "And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him on whom a price had been set by some of the sons of Israel,

rsv@Matthew:27:11 @ Now Jesus stood before the governor; and the governor asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" Jesus said, "You have said so."

rsv@Matthew:27:19 @ Besides, while he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent word to him, "Have nothing to do with that righteous man, for I have suffered much over him today in a dream."

rsv@Matthew:27:22 @ Pilate said to them, "Then what shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?" They all said, "Let him be crucified."

rsv@Matthew:27:23 @ And he said, "Why, what evil has he done?" But they shouted all the more, "Let him be crucified."

rsv@Matthew:27:24 @ So when Pilate saw that he was gaining nothing, but rather that a riot was beginning, he took water and washed his hands before the crowd, saying, "I am innocent of this man's blood; see to it yourselves."

rsv@Matthew:27:25 @ And all the people answered, "His blood be on us and on our children!"

rsv@Matthew:27:26 @ Then he released for them Barab'bas, and having scourged Jesus, delivered him to be crucified.

rsv@Matthew:27:27 @ Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the praetorium, and they gathered the whole battalion before him.

rsv@Matthew:27:28 @ And they stripped him and put a scarlet ro be upon him,

rsv@Matthew:27:29 @ and plaiting a crown of thorns they put it on his head, and put a reed in his right hand. And kneeling before him they mocked him, saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!"

rsv@Matthew:27:31 @ And when they had mocked him, they stripped him of the ro be, and put his own clothes on him, and led him away to crucify him.

rsv@Matthew:27:38 @ Then two rob bers were crucified with him, one on the right and one on the left.

rsv@Matthew:27:41 @ So also the chief priests, with the scri bes and elders, mocked him, saying,

rsv@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.

rsv@Matthew:27:44 @ And the rob bers who were crucified with him also reviled him in the same way.

rsv@Matthew:27:51 @ And behold, the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom; and the earth shook, and the rocks were split;

rsv@Matthew:27:58 @ He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate ordered it to be given to him.

rsv@Matthew:27:62 @ Next day, that is, after the day of Preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered before Pilate

rsv@Matthew:27:63 @ and said, "Sir, we remem ber how that impostor said, while he was still alive, `After three days I will rise again.'

rsv@Matthew:27:64 @ Therefore order the sepulchre to be made secure until the third day, lest his disciples go and steal him away, and tell the people, `He has risen from the dead,' and the last fraud will be worse than the first."

rsv@Matthew:28:2 @ And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone, and sat upon it.

rsv@Matthew:28:4 @ And for fear of him the guards trembled and became like dead men.

rsv@Matthew:28:5 @ But the angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid; for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified.

rsv@Matthew:28:7 @ Then go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and behold, he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him. Lo, I have told you."

rsv@Matthew:28:9 @ And behold, Jesus met them and said, "Hail!" And they came up and took hold of his feet and worshiped him.

rsv@Matthew:28:10 @ Then Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid; go and tell my brethren to go to Galilee, and there they will see me."

rsv@Matthew:28:11 @ While they were going, behold, some of the guard went into the city and told the chief priests all that had taken place.

rsv@Matthew:28:15 @ So they took the money and did as they were directed; and this story has been spread among the Jews to this day.

rsv@Matthew:28:18 @ And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.

rsv@Mark:1:1 @ The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

rsv@Mark:1:2 @ As it is written in Isaiah the prophet, " Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way;

rsv@Mark:1:11 @ and a voice came from heaven, "Thou art my beloved Son; with thee I am well pleased."

rsv@Mark:1:13 @ And he was in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan; and he was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered to him.

rsv@Mark:1:15 @ and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent, and believe in the gospel."

rsv@Mark:1:17 @ And Jesus said to them, "Follow me and I will make you become fishers of men."

rsv@Mark:1:22 @ And they were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one who had authority, and not as the scri bes.

rsv@Mark:1:25 @ But Jesus rebuked him, saying, " Be silent, and come out of him!"

rsv@Mark:1:27 @ And they were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, "What is this? A new teaching! With authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they o bey him."

rsv@Mark:1:34 @ And he healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons; and he would not permit the demons to speak, because they knew him.

rsv@Mark:1:35 @ And in the morning, a great while before day, he rose and went out to a lonely place, and there he prayed.

rsv@Mark:1:40 @ And a leper came to him beseeching him, and kneeling said to him, "If you will, you can make me clean."

rsv@Mark:1:41 @ Moved with pity, he stretched out his hand and touched him, and said to him, "I will; be clean."

rsv@Mark:1:45 @ But he went out and began to talk freely about it, and to spread the news, so that Jesus could no longer openly enter a town, but was out in the country; and people came to him from every quarter.

rsv@Mark:2:4 @ And when they could not get near him because of the crowd, they removed the roof above him; and when they had made an opening, they let down the pallet on which the paralytic lay.

rsv@Mark:2:6 @ Now some of the scri bes were sitting there, questioning in their hearts,

rsv@Mark:2:12 @ And he rose, and immediately took up the pallet and went out before them all; so that they were all amazed and glorified God, saying, "We never saw anything like this!"

rsv@Mark:2:13 @ He went out again beside the sea; and all the crowd gathered about him, and he taught them.

rsv@Mark:2:16 @ And the scri bes of the Pharisees, when they saw that he was eating with sinners and tax collectors, said to his disciples, "Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?"

rsv@Mark:2:23 @ One sabbath he was going through the grainfields; and as they made their way his disciples began to pluck heads of grain.

rsv@Mark:3:8 @ and Jerusalem and Idume'a and from beyond the Jordan and from about Tyre and Sidon a great multitude, hearing all that he did, came to him.

rsv@Mark:3:9 @ And he told his disciples to have a boat ready for him because of the crowd, lest they should crush him;

rsv@Mark:3:11 @ And whenever the unclean spirits beheld him, they fell down before him and cried out, "You are the Son of God."

rsv@Mark:3:14 @ And he appointed twelve, to be with him, and to be sent out to preach

rsv@Mark:3:19 @ and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him. Then he went home;

rsv@Mark:3:21 @ And when his family heard it, they went out to seize him, for people were saying, "He is beside himself."

rsv@Mark:3:22 @ And the scri bes who came down from Jerusalem said, "He is possessed by Be-el'zebul, and by the prince of demons he casts out the demons."

rsv@Mark:3:25 @ And if a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand.

rsv@Mark:3:28 @ "Truly, I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they utter;

rsv@Mark:4:1 @ Again he began to teach beside the sea. And a very large crowd gathered about him, so that he got into a boat and sat in it on the sea; and the whole crowd was beside the sea on the land.

rsv@Mark:4:11 @ And he said to them, "To you has been given the secret of the kingdom of God, but for those outside everything is in parables;

rsv@Mark:4:12 @ so that they may indeed see but not perceive, and may indeed hear but not understand; lest they should turn again, and be forgiven."

rsv@Mark:4:20 @ But those that were sown upon the good soil are the ones who hear the word and accept it and bear fruit, thirtyfold and sixtyfold and a hundredfold."

rsv@Mark:4:21 @ And he said to them, "Is a lamp brought in to be put under a bushel, or under a bed, and not on a stand?

rsv@Mark:4:22 @ For there is nothing hid, except to be made manifest; nor is anything secret, except to come to light.

rsv@Mark:4:24 @ And he said to them, "Take heed what you hear; the measure you give will be the measure you get, and still more will be given you.

rsv@Mark:4:25 @ For to him who has will more be given; and from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away."

rsv@Mark:4:29 @ But when the grain is ripe, at once he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come."

rsv@Mark:4:32 @ yet when it is sown it grows up and becomes the greatest of all shrubs, and puts forth large branches, so that the birds of the air can make nests in its shade."

rsv@Mark:4:37 @ And a great storm of wind arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that the boat was already filling.

rsv@Mark:4:39 @ And he awoke and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, "Peace! Be still!" And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.

rsv@Mark:4:41 @ And they were filled with awe, and said to one another, "Who then is this, that even wind and sea o bey him?"

rsv@Mark:5:4 @ for he had often been bound with fetters and chains, but the chains he wrenched apart, and the fetters he broke in pieces; and no one had the strength to subdue him.

rsv@Mark:5:10 @ And he begged him eagerly not to send them out of the country.

rsv@Mark:5:12 @ and they begged him, "Send us to the swine, let us enter them."

rsv@Mark:5:13 @ So he gave them leave. And the unclean spirits came out, and entered the swine; and the herd, num bering about two thousand, rushed down the steep bank into the sea, and were drowned in the sea.

rsv@Mark:5:17 @ And they began to beg Jesus to depart from their neighborhood.

rsv@Mark:5:18 @ And as he was getting into the boat, the man who had been possessed with demons begged him that he might be with him.

rsv@Mark:5:20 @ And he went away and began to proclaim in the Decap'olis how much Jesus had done for him; and all men marveled.

rsv@Mark:5:21 @ And when Jesus had crossed again in the boat to the other side, a great crowd gathered about him; and he was beside the sea.

rsv@Mark:5:23 @ and besought him, saying, "My little daughter is at the point of death. Come and lay your hands on her, so that she may be made well, and live."

rsv@Mark:5:26 @ and who had suffered much under many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better but rather grew worse.

rsv@Mark:5:27 @ She had heard the reports about Jesus, and came up behind him in the crowd and touched his garment.

rsv@Mark:5:28 @ For she said, "If I touch even his garments, I shall be made well."

rsv@Mark:5:33 @ But the woman, knowing what had been done to her, came in fear and trembling and fell down before him, and told him the whole truth.

rsv@Mark:5:34 @ And he said to her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace, and be healed of your disease."

rsv@Mark:5:36 @ But ignoring what they said, Jesus said to the ruler of the synagogue, "Do not fear, only believe."

rsv@Mark:6:2 @ And on the sabbath he began to teach in the synagogue; and many who heard him were astonished, saying, "Where did this man get all this? What is the wisdom given to him? What mighty works are wrought by his hands!

rsv@Mark:6:6 @ And he marveled because of their un belief. And he went about among the villages teaching.

rsv@Mark:6:7 @ And he called to him the twelve, and began to send them out two by two, and gave them authority over the unclean spirits.

rsv@Mark:6:8 @ He charged them to take nothing for their journey except a staff; no bread, no bag, no money in their belts;

rsv@Mark:6:14 @ King Herod heard of it; for Jesus' name had become known. Some said, "John the baptizer has been raised from the dead; that is why these powers are at work in him."

rsv@Mark:6:16 @ But when Herod heard of it he said, "John, whom I beheaded, has been raised."

rsv@Mark:6:17 @ For Herod had sent and seized John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Hero'di-as, his brother Philip's wife; because he had married her.

rsv@Mark:6:26 @ And the king was exceedingly sorry; but because of his oaths and his guests he did not want to break his word to her.

rsv@Mark:6:27 @ And immediately the king sent a soldier of the guard and gave orders to bring his head. He went and beheaded him in the prison,

rsv@Mark:6:34 @ As he went ashore he saw a great throng, and he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things.

rsv@Mark:6:41 @ And taking the five loaves and the two fish he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and broke the loaves, and gave them to the disciples to set before the people; and he divided the two fish among them all.

rsv@Mark:6:45 @ Immediately he made his disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side, to Beth-sa'ida, while he dismissed the crowd.

rsv@Mark:6:55 @ and ran about the whole neighborhood and began to bring sick people on their pallets to any place where they heard he was.

rsv@Mark:6:56 @ And wherever he came, in villages, cities, or country, they laid the sick in the market places, and besought him that they might touch even the fringe of his garment; and as many as touched it were made well.

rsv@Mark:7:1 @ Now when the Pharisees gathered together to him, with some of the scri bes, who had come from Jerusalem,

rsv@Mark:7:5 @ And the Pharisees and the scri bes asked him, "Why do your disciples not live according to the tradition of the elders, but eat with hands defiled?"

rsv@Mark:7:23 @ And from there he arose and went away to the region of Tyre and Sidon. And he entered a house, and would not have any one know it; yet he could not be hid.

rsv@Mark:7:25 @ Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoeni'cian by birth. And she begged him to cast the demon out of her daughter.

rsv@Mark:7:26 @ And he said to her, "Let the children first be fed, for it is not right to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs."

rsv@Mark:7:29 @ And she went home, and found the child lying in bed, and the demon gone.

rsv@Mark:7:31 @ And they brought to him a man who was deaf and had an impediment in his speech; and they besought him to lay his hand upon him.

rsv@Mark:7:33 @ and looking up to heaven, he sighed, and said to him, "Eph'phatha," that is, " Be opened."

rsv@Mark:7:36 @ And they were astonished beyond measure, saying, "He has done all things well; he even makes the deaf hear and the dumb speak."

rsv@Mark:8:2 @ "I have compassion on the crowd, because they have been with me now three days, and have nothing to eat;

rsv@Mark:8:6 @ And he commanded the crowd to sit down on the ground; and he took the seven loaves, and having given thanks he broke them and gave them to his disciples to set before the people; and they set them before the crowd.

rsv@Mark:8:7 @ And they had a few small fish; and having blessed them, he commanded that these also should be set before them.

rsv@Mark:8:11 @ The Pharisees came and began to argue with him, seeking from him a sign from heaven, to test him.

rsv@Mark:8:12 @ And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and said, "Why does this generation seek a sign? Truly, I say to you, no sign shall be given to this generation."

rsv@Mark:8:15 @ And he cautioned them, saying, "Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod."

rsv@Mark:8:17 @ And being aware of it, Jesus said to them, "Why do you discuss the fact that you have no bread? Do you not yet perceive or understand? Are your hearts hardened?

rsv@Mark:8:18 @ Having eyes do you not see, and having ears do you not hear? And do you not remem ber?

rsv@Mark:8:22 @ And they came to Beth-sa'ida. And some people brought to him a blind man, and begged him to touch him.

rsv@Mark:8:31 @ And he began to teach them that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scri bes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.

rsv@Mark:8:32 @ And he said this plainly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him.

rsv@Mark:8:33 @ But turning and seeing his disciples, he rebuked Peter, and said, "Get behind me, Satan! For you are not on the side of God, but of men."

rsv@Mark:8:38 @ For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him will the Son of man also be ashamed, when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels."

rsv@Mark:9:1 @ And he said to them, "Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see that the kingdom of God has come with power."

rsv@Mark:9:2 @ And after six days Jesus took with him Peter and James and John, and led them up a high mountain apart by themselves; and he was transfigured before them,

rsv@Mark:9:3 @ and his garments became glistening, intensely white, as no fuller on earth could bleach them.

rsv@Mark:9:7 @ And a cloud overshadowed them, and a voice came out of the cloud, "This is my beloved Son; listen to him."

rsv@Mark:9:11 @ And they asked him, "Why do the scri bes say that first Eli'jah must come?"

rsv@Mark:9:12 @ And he said to them, "Eli'jah does come first to restore all things; and how is it written of the Son of man, that he should suffer many things and be treated with contempt?

rsv@Mark:9:14 @ And when they came to the disciples, they saw a great crowd about them, and scri bes arguing with them.

rsv@Mark:9:18 @ and wherever it seizes him, it dashes him down; and he foams and grinds his teeth and becomes rigid; and I asked your disciples to cast it out, and they were not able."

rsv@Mark:9:19 @ And he answered them, "O faithless generation, how long am I to be with you? How long am I to bear with you? Bring him to me."

rsv@Mark:9:23 @ And Jesus said to him, "If you can! All things are possible to him who believes."

rsv@Mark:9:24 @ Immediately the father of the child cried out and said, "I believe; help my un belief!"

rsv@Mark:9:29 @ And he said to them, "This kind cannot be driven out by anything but prayer."

rsv@Mark:9:31 @ for he was teaching his disciples, saying to them, "The Son of man will be delivered into the hands of men, and they will kill him; and when he is killed, after three days he will rise."

rsv@Mark:9:35 @ And he sat down and called the twelve; and he said to them, "If any one would be first, he must be last of all and servant of all."

rsv@Mark:9:38 @ John said to him, "Teacher, we saw a man casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he was not following us."

rsv@Mark:9:39 @ But Jesus said, "Do not forbid him; for no one who does a mighty work in my name will be able soon after to speak evil of me.

rsv@Mark:9:41 @ For truly, I say to you, whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because you bear the name of Christ, will by no means lose his reward.

rsv@Mark:9:42 @ "Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him if a great millstone were hung round his neck and he were thrown into the sea.

rsv@Mark:9:44 @ And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off; it is better for you to enter life lame than with two feet to be thrown into hell.

rsv@Mark:9:45 @ And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out; it is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown into hell,

rsv@Mark:10:7 @ `For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife,

rsv@Mark:11:12 @ On the following day, when they came from Bethany, he was hungry.

rsv@Mark:11:15 @ And they came to Jerusalem. And he entered the temple and began to drive out those who sold and those who bought in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons;

rsv@John:6:10 @ Jesus said, "Make the people sit down." Now there was much grass in the place; so the men sat down, in num ber about five thousand.

rsv@John:6:12 @ And when they had eaten their fill, he told his disciples, "Gather up the fragments left over, that nothing may be lost."

rsv@John:6:18 @ The sea rose because a strong wind was blowing.

rsv@John:6:20 @ but he said to them, "It is I; do not be afraid."

rsv@John:6:22 @ On the next day the people who remained on the other side of the sea saw that there had been only one boat there, and that Jesus had not entered the boat with his disciples, but that his disciples had gone away alone.

rsv@John:6:23 @ However, boats from Ti ber'i-as came near the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks.

rsv@John:6:26 @ Jesus answered them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, you seek me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate your fill of the loaves.

rsv@John:6:28 @ Then they said to him, "What must we do, to be doing the works of God?"

rsv@John:6:29 @ Jesus answered them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent."

rsv@John:6:30 @ So they said to him, "Then what sign do you do, that we may see, and believe you? What work do you perform?

rsv@John:6:35 @ Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life; he who comes to me shall not hunger, and he who believes in me shall never thirst.

rsv@John:6:36 @ But I said to you that you have seen me and yet do not believe.

rsv@John:6:40 @ For this is the will of my Father, that every one who sees the Son and believes in him should have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day."

rsv@John:6:41 @ The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, "I am the bread which came down from heaven."

rsv@John:6:45 @ It is written in the prophets, `And they shall all be taught by God.' Every one who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me.

rsv@John:6:47 @ Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes has eternal life.

rsv@John:6:57 @ As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so he who eats me will live because of me.

rsv@John:6:62 @ Then what if you were to see the Son of man ascending where he was before?

rsv@John:6:64 @ But there are some of you that do not believe." For Jesus knew from the first who those were that did not believe, and who it was that would betray him.

rsv@John:6:69 @ and we have believed, and have come to know, that you are the Holy One of God."

rsv@John:6:71 @ He spoke of Judas the son of Simon Iscariot, for he, one of the twelve, was to betray him.

rsv@John:7:1 @ After this Jesus went about in Galilee; he would not go about in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.

rsv@John:7:2 @ Now the Jews' feast of Ta bernacles was at hand.

rsv@John:7:4 @ For no man works in secret if he seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, show yourself to the world."

rsv@John:7:5 @ For even his brothers did not believe in him.

rsv@John:7:7 @ The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify of it that its works are evil.

rsv@John:7:23 @ If on the sabbath a man receives circumcision, so that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me because on the sabbath I made a man's whole body well?

rsv@John:7:26 @ And here he is, speaking openly, and they say nothing to him! Can it be that the authorities really know that this is the Christ?

rsv@John:7:30 @ So they sought to arrest him; but no one laid hands on him, because his hour had not yet come.

rsv@John:7:31 @ Yet many of the people believed in him; they said, "When the Christ appears, will he do more signs than this man has done?"

rsv@John:7:33 @ Jesus then said, "I shall be with you a little longer, and then I go to him who sent me;

rsv@John:7:38 @ He who believes in me, as the scripture has said, `Out of his heart shall flow rivers of living water.'"

rsv@John:7:39 @ Now this he said about the Spirit, which those who believed in him were to receive; for as yet the Spirit had not been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

rsv@John:7:42 @ Has not the scripture said that the Christ is descended from David, and comes from Bethlehem, the village where David was?"

rsv@John:7:48 @ Have any of the authorities or of the Pharisees believed in him?

rsv@John:7:50 @ Nicode'mus, who had gone to him before, and who was one of them, said to them,

rsv@John:8:3 @ The scri bes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery, and placing her in the midst

rsv@John:8:4 @ they said to him, "Teacher, this woman has been caught in the act of adultery.

rsv@John:8:6 @ This they said to test him, that they might have some charge to bring against him. Jesus bent down and wrote with his finger on the ground.

rsv@John:8:7 @ And as they continued to ask him, he stood up and said to them, "Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her."

rsv@John:8:8 @ And once more he bent down and wrote with his finger on the ground.

rsv@John:8:9 @ But when they heard it, they went away, one by one, beginning with the eldest, and Jesus was left alone with the woman standing before him.

rsv@John:8:13 @ The Pharisees then said to him, "You are bearing witness to yourself; your testimony is not true."

rsv@John:8:14 @ Jesus answered, "Even if I do bear witness to myself, my testimony is true, for I know whence I have come and whither I am going, but you do not know whence I come or whither I am going.

rsv@John:8:18 @ I bear witness to myself, and the Father who sent me bears witness to me."

rsv@John:8:20 @ These words he spoke in the treasury, as he taught in the temple; but no one arrested him, because his hour had not yet come.

rsv@John:8:23 @ He said to them, "You are from below, I am from above; you are of this world, I am not of this world.

rsv@John:8:24 @ I told you that you would die in your sins, for you will die in your sins unless you believe that I am he."

rsv@John:8:25 @ They said to him, "Who are you?" Jesus said to them, "Even what I have told you from the beginning.

rsv@John:8:30 @ As he spoke thus, many believed in him.

rsv@John:8:31 @ Jesus then said to the Jews who had believed in him, "If you continue in my word, you are truly my disciples,

rsv@John:8:33 @ They answered him, "We are descendants of Abraham, and have never been in bondage to any one. How is it that you say, `You will be made free'?"

rsv@John:8:36 @ So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.

rsv@John:8:37 @ I know that you are descendants of Abraham; yet you seek to kill me, because my word finds no place in you.

rsv@John:8:43 @ Why do you not understand what I say? It is because you cannot bear to hear my word.

rsv@John:8:44 @ You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has nothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks according to his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

rsv@John:8:45 @ But, because I tell the truth, you do not believe me.

rsv@John:8:46 @ Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me?

rsv@John:8:50 @ Yet I do not seek my own glory; there is One who seeks it and he will be the judge.

rsv@John:8:53 @ Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? And the prophets died! Who do you claim to be?"

rsv@John:8:55 @ But you have not known him; I know him. If I said, I do not know him, I should be a liar like you; but I do know him and I keep his word.

rsv@John:8:58 @ Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am."

rsv@John:9:3 @ Jesus answered, "It was not that this man sinned, or his parents, but that the works of God might be made manifest in him.

rsv@John:9:8 @ The neighbors and those who had seen him before as a beggar, said, "Is not this the man who used to sit and beg?"

rsv@John:9:13 @ They brought to the Pharisees the man who had formerly been blind.

rsv@John:9:18 @ The Jews did not believe that he had been blind and had received his sight, until they called the parents of the man who had received his sight,

rsv@John:9:22 @ His parents said this because they feared the Jews, for the Jews had already agreed that if any one should confess him to be Christ, he was to be put out of the synagogue.

rsv@John:9:24 @ So for the second time they called the man who had been blind, and said to him, "Give God the praise; we know that this man is a sinner."

rsv@John:9:27 @ He answered them, "I have told you already, and you would not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you too want to become his disciples?"

rsv@John:9:32 @ Never since the world began has it been heard that any one opened the eyes of a man born blind.

rsv@John:9:35 @ Jesus heard that they had cast him out, and having found him he said, "Do you believe in the Son of man?"

rsv@John:9:36 @ He answered, "And who is he, sir, that I may believe in him?"

rsv@John:9:38 @ He said, "Lord, I believe"; and he worshiped him.

rsv@John:9:39 @ Jesus said, "For judgment I came into this world, that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may become blind."

rsv@John:10:1 @ "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door but climbs in by another way, that man is a thief and a rob ber;

rsv@John:10:4 @ When he has brought out all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.

rsv@John:10:8 @ All who came before me are thieves and rob bers; but the sheep did not heed them.

rsv@John:10:9 @ I am the door; if any one enters by me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.

rsv@John:10:13 @ He flees because he is a hireling and cares nothing for the sheep.

rsv@John:10:16 @ And I have other sheep, that are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will heed my voice. So there shall be one flock, one shepherd.

rsv@John:10:17 @ For this reason the Father loves me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.

rsv@John:10:19 @ There was again a division among the Jews because of these words.

rsv@John:10:25 @ Jesus answered them, "I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness to me;

rsv@John:10:26 @ but you do not believe, because you do not belong to my sheep.

rsv@John:10:33 @ The Jews answered him, "It is not for a good work that we stone you but for blasphemy; because you, being a man, make yourself God."

rsv@John:10:35 @ If he called them gods to whom the word of God came (and scripture cannot be broken),

rsv@John:10:36 @ do you say of him whom the Father consecrated and sent into the world, `You are blaspheming,' because I said, `I am the Son of God'?

rsv@John:10:37 @ If I am not doing the works of my Father, then do not believe me;

rsv@John:10:38 @ but if I do them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me and I am in the Father."

rsv@John:10:42 @ And many believed in him there.

rsv@John:11:1 @ Now a certain man was ill, Laz'arus of Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.

rsv@John:11:4 @ But when Jesus heard it he said, "This illness is not unto death; it is for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified by means of it."

rsv@John:11:9 @ Jesus answered, "Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any one walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.

rsv@John:11:10 @ But if any one walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him."

rsv@John:11:15 @ and for your sake I am glad that I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him."

rsv@John:11:17 @ Now when Jesus came, he found that Laz'arus had already been in the tomb four days.

rsv@John:11:18 @ Bethany was near Jerusalem, about two miles off,

rsv@John:11:21 @ Martha said to Jesus, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.

rsv@John:11:25 @ Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live,

rsv@John:11:26 @ and whoever lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?"

rsv@John:11:27 @ She said to him, "Yes, Lord; I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, he who is coming into the world."

rsv@John:11:32 @ Then Mary, when she came where Jesus was and saw him, fell at his feet, saying to him, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died."

rsv@John:11:39 @ Jesus said, "Take away the stone." Martha, the sister of the dead man, said to him, "Lord, by this time there will be an odor, for he has been dead four days."

rsv@John:11:40 @ Jesus said to her, "Did I not tell you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?"

rsv@John:11:42 @ I knew that thou hearest me always, but I have said this on account of the people standing by, that they may believe that thou didst send me."

rsv@John:11:45 @ Many of the Jews therefore, who had come with Mary and had seen what he did, believed in him;

rsv@John:11:48 @ If we let him go on thus, every one will believe in him, and the Romans will come and destroy both our holy place and our nation."

rsv@John:11:51 @ He did not say this of his own accord, but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation,

rsv@John:11:55 @ Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand, and many went up from the country to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves.

rsv@John:12:1 @ Six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Laz'arus was, whom Jesus had raised from the dead.

rsv@John:12:4 @ But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples (he who was to betray him), said,

rsv@John:12:6 @ This he said, not that he cared for the poor but because he was a thief, and as he had the money box he used to take what was put into it.

rsv@John:12:11 @ because on account of him many of the Jews were going away and believing in Jesus.

rsv@John:12:15 @ "Fear not, daughter of Zion; behold, your king is coming, sitting on an ass's colt!"

rsv@John:12:16 @ His disciples did not understand this at first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remem bered that this had been written of him and had been done to him.

rsv@John:12:17 @ The crowd that had been with him when he called Laz'arus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead bore witness.

rsv@John:12:21 @ So these came to Philip, who was from Beth-sa'ida in Galilee, and said to him, "Sir, we wish to see Jesus."

rsv@John:12:23 @ And Jesus answered them, "The hour has come for the Son of man to be glorified.

rsv@John:12:24 @ Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.

rsv@John:12:26 @ If any one serves me, he must follow me; and where I am, there shall my servant be also; if any one serves me, the Father will honor him.

rsv@John:12:31 @ Now is the judgment of this world, now shall the ruler of this world be cast out;

rsv@John:12:34 @ The crowd answered him, "We have heard from the law that the Christ remains for ever. How can you say that the Son of man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of man?"

rsv@John:12:36 @ While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light." When Jesus had said this, he departed and hid himself from them.

rsv@John:12:37 @ Though he had done so many signs before them, yet they did not believe in him;

rsv@John:12:38 @ it was that the word spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled: "Lord, who has believed our report, and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?"

rsv@John:12:39 @ Therefore they could not believe. For Isaiah again said,

rsv@John:12:41 @ Isaiah said this because he saw his glory and spoke of him.

rsv@John:12:42 @ Nevertheless many even of the authorities believed in him, but for fear of the Pharisees they did not confess it, lest they should be put out of the synagogue:

rsv@John:12:44 @ And Jesus cried out and said, "He who believes in me, believes not in me but in him who sent me.

rsv@John:12:46 @ I have come as light into the world, that whoever believes in me may not remain in darkness.

rsv@John:12:48 @ He who rejects me and does not receive my sayings has a judge; the word that I have spoken will be his judge on the last day.

rsv@John:13:1 @ Now before the feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart out of this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.

rsv@John:13:2 @ And during supper, when the devil had already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him,

rsv@John:13:5 @ Then he poured water into a basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which he was girded.

rsv@John:13:11 @ For he knew who was to betray him; that was why he said, "You are not all clean."

rsv@John:13:18 @ I am not speaking of you all; I know whom I have chosen; it is that the scripture may be fulfilled, `He who ate my bread has lifted his heel against me.'

rsv@John:13:19 @ I tell you this now, before it takes place, that when it does take place you may believe that I am he.

rsv@John:13:21 @ When Jesus had thus spoken, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, "Truly, truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me."

rsv@John:13:24 @ so Simon Peter beckoned to him and said, "Tell us who it is of whom he speaks."

rsv@John:13:29 @ Some thought that, because Judas had the money box, Jesus was telling him, "Buy what we need for the feast"; or, that he should give something to the poor.

rsv@John:14:1 @ "Let not your hearts be troubled; believe in God, believe also in me.

rsv@John:14:3 @ And when I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.

rsv@John:14:8 @ Philip said to him, "Lord, show us the Father, and we shall be satisfied."

rsv@John:14:9 @ Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you so long, and yet you do not know me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father; how can you say, `Show us the Father'?

rsv@John:14:10 @ Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own authority; but the Father who dwells in me does his works.

rsv@John:14:11 @ Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father in me; or else believe me for the sake of the works themselves.

rsv@John:14:12 @ "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I go to the Father.

rsv@John:14:21 @ He who has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me; and he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him."

rsv@John:14:27 @ Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.

rsv@John:14:28 @ You heard me say to you, `I go away, and I will come to you.' If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I go to the Father; for the Father is greater than I.

rsv@John:14:29 @ And now I have told you before it takes place, so that when it does take place, you may believe.

rsv@John:15:2 @ Every branch of mine that bears no fruit, he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit.

rsv@John:15:5 @ I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in me, and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.

rsv@John:15:7 @ If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you will, and it shall be done for you.

rsv@John:15:8 @ By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be my disciples.

rsv@John:18:2 @ Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place; for Jesus often met there with his disciples.

rsv@John:18:4 @ Then Jesus, knowing all that was to befall him, came forward and said to them, "Whom do you seek?"

rsv@John:18:5 @ They answered him, "Jesus of Nazareth." Jesus said to them, "I am he." Judas, who betrayed him, was standing with them.

rsv@John:18:23 @ Jesus answered him, "If I have spoken wrongly, bear witness to the wrong; but if I have spoken rightly, why do you strike me?"

rsv@John:18:36 @ Jesus answered, "My kingship is not of this world; if my kingship were of this world, my servants would fight, that I might not be handed over to the Jews; but my kingship is not from the world."

rsv@John:18:37 @ Pilate said to him, "So you are a king?" Jesus answered, "You say that I am a king. For this I was born, and for this I have come into the world, to bear witness to the truth. Every one who is of the truth hears my voice."

rsv@John:19:5 @ So Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple ro be. Pilate said to them, " Behold the man!"

rsv@John:19:7 @ The Jews answered him, "We have a law, and by that law he ought to die, because he has made himself the Son of God."

rsv@John:19:11 @ Jesus answered him, "You would have no power over me unless it had been given you from above; therefore he who delivered me to you has the greater sin."

rsv@John:19:14 @ Now it was the day of Preparation of the Passover; it was about the sixth hour. He said to the Jews, " Behold your King!"

rsv@John:19:16 @ Then he handed him over to them to be crucified.

rsv@John:19:17 @ So they took Jesus, and he went out, bearing his own cross, to the place called the place of a skull, which is called in Hebrew Gol'gotha.

rsv@John:19:18 @ There they crucified him, and with him two others, one on either side, and Jesus between them.

rsv@John:19:24 @ so they said to one another, "Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it to see whose it shall be." This was to fulfil the scripture, "They parted my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots."

rsv@John:19:27 @ Then he said to the disciple, " Behold, your mother!" And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home.

rsv@John:19:31 @ Since it was the day of Preparation, in order to prevent the bodies from remaining on the cross on the sabbath (for that sabbath was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

rsv@John:19:32 @ So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first, and of the other who had been crucified with him;

rsv@John:20:8 @ Then the other disciple, who reached the tomb first, also went in, and he saw and believed;

rsv@John:20:13 @ They said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping?" She said to them, " Because they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him."

rsv@John:20:15 @ Jesus said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping? Whom do you seek?" Supposing him to be the gardener, she said to him, "Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away."

rsv@John:20:19 @ On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, "Peace be with you."

rsv@John:20:21 @ Jesus said to them again, "Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you."

rsv@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 in his name.

rsv@John:21:1 @ After this Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples by the Sea of Ti be'ri-as; and he revealed himself in this way.

rsv@John:21:4 @ Just as day was breaking, Jesus stood on the beach; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.

rsv@John:21:17 @ He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, "Do you love me?" And he said to him, "Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you." Jesus said to him, "Feed my sheep.

rsv@Acts:14:23 @ And when they had appointed elders for them in every church, with prayer and fasting they committed them to the Lord in whom they believed.

rsv@Acts:14:26 @ and from there they sailed to Antioch, where they had been commended to the grace of God for the work which they had fulfilled.

rsv@Acts:15:1 @ But some men came down from Judea and were teaching the brethren, "Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved."

rsv@Acts:15:3 @ So, being sent on their way by the church, they passed through both Phoeni'cia and Sama'ria, reporting the conversion of the Gentiles, and they gave great joy to all the brethren.

rsv@Acts:15:37 @ But Paul thought best not to take with them one who had withdrawn from them in Pamphyl'ia, and had not gone with them to the work.

rsv@Acts:16:1 @ And he came also to Der be and to Lystra. A disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewish woman who was a believer; but his father was a Greek.

rsv@Acts:16:3 @ Paul wanted Timothy to accompany him; and he took him and circumcised him because of the Jews that were in those places, for they all knew that his father was a Greek.

rsv@Acts:16:4 @ As they went on their way through the cities, they delivered to them for observance the decisions which had been reached by the apostles and elders who were at Jerusalem.

rsv@Acts:16:5 @ So the churches were strengthened in the faith, and they increased in num bers daily.

rsv@Acts:18:17 @ And they all seized Sos'thenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him in front of the tribunal. But Gallio paid no attention to this.

rsv@Acts:18:25 @ He had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, though he knew only the baptism of John.

rsv@Romans:1:5 @ through whom we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the o bedience of faith for the sake of his name among all the nations,

rsv@Romans:1:6 @ including yourselves who are called to belong to Jesus Christ;

rsv@Romans:1:7 @ To all God's beloved in Rome, who are called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

rsv@Romans:1:8 @ First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is proclaimed in all the world.

rsv@Romans:1:12 @ that is, that we may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith, both yours and mine.

rsv@Romans:1:13 @ I want you to know, brethren, that I have often intended to come to you (but thus far have been prevented), in order that I may reap some harvest among you as well as among the rest of the Gentiles.

rsv@Romans:1:19 @ For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them.

rsv@Romans:1:20 @ Ever since the creation of the world his invisible nature, namely, his eternal power and deity, has been clearly perceived in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse;

rsv@Romans:1:21 @ for although they knew God they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking and their senseless minds were darkened.

rsv@Romans:1:22 @ Claiming to be wise, they became fools,

rsv@Romans:1:25 @ because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed for ever! Amen.

rsv@Romans:1:30 @ slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, diso bedient to parents,

rsv@Romans:2:1 @ Therefore you have no excuse, O man, whoever you are, when you judge another; for in passing judgment upon him you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, are doing the very same things.

rsv@Romans:2:4 @ Or do you presume upon the riches of his kindness and for bearance and patience? Do you not know that God's kindness is meant to lead you to repentance?

rsv@Romans:2:5 @ But by your hard and impenitent heart you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath when God's righteous judgment will be revealed.

rsv@Romans:2:8 @ but for those who are factious and do not o bey the truth, but o bey wickedness, there will be wrath and fury.

rsv@Romans:2:9 @ There will be tribulation and distress for every human being who does evil, the Jew first and also the Greek,

rsv@Romans:2:12 @ All who have sinned without the law will also perish without the law, and all who have sinned under the law will be judged by the law.

rsv@Romans:2:13 @ For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified.

rsv@Romans:2:15 @ They show that what the law requires is written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness and their conflicting thoughts accuse or perhaps excuse them

rsv@Romans:2:18 @ and know his will and approve what is excellent, because you are instructed in the law,

rsv@Romans:2:24 @ For, as it is written, "The name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you."

rsv@Romans:2:25 @ Circumcision indeed is of value if you o bey the law; but if you break the law, your circumcision becomes uncircumcision.

rsv@Romans:2:26 @ So, if a man who is uncircumcised keeps the precepts of the law, will not his uncircumcision be regarded as circumcision?

rsv@Romans:3:2 @ Much in every way. To begin with, the Jews are entrusted with the oracles of God.

rsv@Romans:3:4 @ By no means! Let God be true though every man be false, as it is written, "That thou mayest be justified in thy words, and prevail when thou art judged."

rsv@Romans:3:7 @ But if through my falsehood God's truthfulness abounds to his glory, why am I still being condemned as a sinner?

rsv@Romans:3:9 @ What then? Are we Jews any better off? No, not at all; for I have already charged that all men, both Jews and Greeks, are under the power of sin,

rsv@Romans:3:18 @ "There is no fear of God before their eyes."

rsv@Romans:3:19 @ Now we know that whatever the law says it speaks to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be stopped, and the whole world may be held accountable to God.

rsv@Romans:3:20 @ For no human being will be justified in his sight by works of the law, since through the law comes knowledge of sin.

rsv@Romans:3:21 @ But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from law, although the law and the prophets bear witness to it,

rsv@Romans:3:22 @ the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction;

rsv@Romans:3:25 @ whom God put forward as an expiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God's righteousness, because in his divine for bearance he had passed over former sins;

rsv@Romans:3:27 @ Then what becomes of our boasting? It is excluded. On what principle? On the principle of works? No, but on the principle of faith.

rsv@Romans:4:2 @ For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God.

rsv@Romans:4:3 @ For what does the scripture say? "Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness."

rsv@Romans:4:10 @ How then was it reckoned to him? Was it before or after he had been circumcised? It was not after, but before he was circumcised.

rsv@Romans:4:11 @ He received circumcision as a sign or seal of the righteousness which he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised. The purpose was to make him the father of all who believe without being circumcised and who thus have righteousness reckoned to them,

rsv@Romans:4:12 @ and likewise the father of the circumcised who are not merely circumcised but also follow the example of the faith which our father Abraham had before he was circumcised.

rsv@Romans:4:14 @ If it is the adherents of the law who are to be the heirs, faith is null and the promise is void.

rsv@Romans:4:16 @ That is why it depends on faith, in order that the promise may rest on grace and be guaranteed to all his descendants-- not only to the adherents of the law but also to those who share the faith of Abraham, for he is the father of us all,

rsv@Romans:4:17 @ as it is written, "I have made you the father of many nations" --in the presence of the God in whom he believed, who gives life to the dead and calls into existence the things that do not exist.

rsv@Romans:4:18 @ In hope he believed against hope, that he should become the father of many nations; as he had been told, "So shall your descendants be."

rsv@Romans:4:19 @ He did not weaken in faith when he considered his own body, which was as good as dead because he was about a hundred years old, or when he considered the barrenness of Sarah's womb.

rsv@Romans:4:24 @ but for ours also. It will be reckoned to us who believe in him that raised from the dead Jesus our Lord,

rsv@Romans:5:5 @ and hope does not disappoint us, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit which has been given to us.

rsv@Romans:5:9 @ Since, therefore, we are now justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God.

rsv@Romans:5:10 @ For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.

rsv@Romans:5:12 @ Therefore as sin came into the world through one man and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all men sinned--

rsv@Romans:5:13 @ sin indeed was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not counted where there is no law.

rsv@Romans:5:17 @ If, because of one man's trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ.

rsv@Romans:5:19 @ For as by one man's diso bedience many were made sinners, so by one man's o bedience many will be made righteous.

rsv@Romans:6:3 @ Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?

rsv@Romans:6:5 @ For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his.

rsv@Romans:6:6 @ We know that our old self was crucified with him so that the sinful body might be destroyed, and we might no longer be enslaved to sin.

rsv@Romans:6:8 @ But if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him.

rsv@Romans:6:9 @ For we know that Christ being raised from the dead will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him.

rsv@Romans:6:12 @ Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal bodies, to make you o bey their passions.

rsv@Romans:6:13 @ Do not yield your mem bers to sin as instruments of wickedness, but yield yourselves to God as men who have been brought from death to life, and your mem bers to God as instruments of righteousness.

rsv@Romans:6:15 @ What then? Are we to sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means!

rsv@Romans:6:16 @ Do you not know that if you yield yourselves to any one as o bedient slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you o bey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of o bedience, which leads to righteousness?

rsv@Romans:6:17 @ But thanks be to God, that you who were once slaves of sin have become o bedient from the heart to the standard of teaching to which you were committed,

rsv@Romans:6:18 @ and, having been set free from sin, have become slaves of righteousness.

rsv@Romans:6:19 @ I am speaking in human terms, because of your natural limitations. For just as you once yielded your mem bers to impurity and to greater and greater iniquity, so now yield your mem bers to righteousness for sanctification.

rsv@Romans:6:22 @ But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the return you get is sanctification and its end, eternal life.

rsv@Romans:7:3 @ Accordingly, she will be called an adulteress if she lives with another man while her husband is alive. But if her husband dies she is free from that law, and if she marries another man she is not an adulteress.

rsv@Romans:7:4 @ Likewise, my brethren, you have died to the law through the body of Christ, so that you may belong to another, to him who has been raised from the dead in order that we may bear fruit for God.

rsv@Romans:7:5 @ While we were living in the flesh, our sinful passions, aroused by the law, were at work in our mem bers to bear fruit for death.

rsv@Romans:7:7 @ What then shall we say? That the law is sin? By no means! Yet, if it had not been for the law, I should not have known sin. I should not have known what it is to covet if the law had not said, "You shall not covet."

rsv@Romans:7:10 @ the very commandment which promised life proved to be death to me.

rsv@Romans:7:13 @ Did that which is good, then, bring death to me? By no means! It was sin, working death in me through what is good, in order that sin might be shown to be sin, and through the commandment might become sinful beyond measure.

rsv@Romans:7:21 @ So I find it to be a law that when I want to do right, evil lies close at hand.

rsv@Romans:7:23 @ but I see in my mem bers another law at war with the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin which dwells in my mem bers.

rsv@Romans:7:25 @ Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I of myself serve the law of God with my mind, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.

rsv@Romans:8:4 @ in order that the just requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

rsv@Romans:8:9 @ But you are not in the flesh, you are in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Any one who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him.

rsv@Romans:8:10 @ But if Christ is in you, although your bodies are dead because of sin, your spirits are alive because of righteousness.

rsv@Romans:8:16 @ it is the Spirit himself bearing witness with our spirit that we are children of God,

rsv@Romans:8:17 @ and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him.

rsv@Romans:8:18 @ I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.

rsv@Romans:8:21 @ because the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and obtain the glorious li berty of the children of God.

rsv@Romans:8:22 @ We know that the whole creation has been groaning in travail together until now;

rsv@Romans:8:27 @ And he who searches the hearts of men knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.

rsv@Romans:8:29 @ For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the first-born among many brethren.

rsv@Romans:8:36 @ As it is written, "For thy sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered."

rsv@Romans:8:39 @ nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

rsv@Romans:9:1 @ I am speaking the truth in Christ, I am not lying; my conscience bears me witness in the Holy Spirit,

rsv@Romans:9:4 @ They are Israelites, and to them belong the sonship, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the worship, and the promises;

rsv@Romans:9:5 @ to them belong the patriarchs, and of their race, according to the flesh, is the Christ. God who is over all be blessed for ever. Amen.

rsv@Romans:9:6 @ But it is not as though the word of God had failed. For not all who are descended from Israel belong to Israel,

rsv@Romans:9:7 @ and not all are children of Abraham because they are his descendants; but "Through Isaac shall your descendants be named."

rsv@Romans:9:10 @ And not only so, but also when Re becca had conceived children by one man, our forefather Isaac,

rsv@Romans:9:11 @ though they were not yet born and had done nothing either good or bad, in order that God's purpose of election might continue, not because of works but because of his call,

rsv@Romans:9:17 @ For the scripture says to Pharaoh, "I have raised you up for the very purpose of showing my power in you, so that my name may be proclaimed in all the earth."

rsv@Romans:9:21 @ Has the potter no right over the clay, to make out of the same lump one vessel for beauty and another for menial use?

rsv@Romans:9:23 @ in order to make known the riches of his glory for the vessels of mercy, which he has prepared beforehand for glory,

rsv@Romans:9:25 @ As indeed he says in Hose'a, "Those who were not my people I will call `my people,' and her who was not beloved I will call `my beloved.'"

rsv@Romans:9:26 @ "And in the very place where it was said to them, `You are not my people,' they will be called `sons of the living God.'"

rsv@Romans:9:27 @ And Isaiah cries out concerning Israel: "Though the num ber of the sons of Israel be as the sand of the sea, only a remnant of them will be saved;

rsv@Romans:9:29 @ And as Isaiah predicted, "If the Lord of hosts had not left us children, we would have fared like Sodom and been made like Gomor'rah."

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

rsv@Romans:9:33 @ as it is written, " Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone that will make men stumble, a rock that will make them fall; and he who believes in him will not be put to shame."

rsv@Romans:10:1 @ Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for them is that they may be saved.

rsv@Romans:10:2 @ I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but it is not enlightened.

rsv@Romans:10:3 @ For, being ignorant of the righteousness that comes from God, and seeking to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness.

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

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

rsv@Romans:10:10 @ For man believes with his heart and so is justified, and he confesses with his lips and so is saved.

rsv@Romans:10:11 @ The scripture says, "No one who believes in him will be put to shame."

rsv@Romans:10:12 @ For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; the same Lord is Lord of all and bestows his riches upon all who call upon him.

rsv@Romans:10:13 @ For, "every one who calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved."

rsv@Romans:10:14 @ But how are men to call upon him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without a preacher?

rsv@Romans:10:15 @ And how can men preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach good news!"

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

rsv@Romans:10:20 @ Then Isaiah 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:10:21 @ But of Israel he says, "All day long I have held out my hands to a diso bedient and contrary people."

rsv@Romans:11:1 @ I ask, then, has God rejected his people? By no means! I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, a mem ber of the tri be of Benjamin.

rsv@Romans:11:6 @ But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works; otherwise grace would no longer be grace.

rsv@Romans:11:9 @ And David says, "Let their table become a snare and a trap, a pitfall and a retribution for them;

rsv@Romans:11:10 @ let their eyes be darkened so that they cannot see, and bend their backs for ever."

rsv@Romans:11:18 @ do not boast over the branches. If you do boast, remem ber it is not you that support the root, but the root that supports you.

rsv@Romans:11:19 @ You will say, "Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in."

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

rsv@Romans:11:22 @ Note then the kindness and the severity of God: severity toward those who have fallen, but God's kindness to you, provided you continue in his kindness; otherwise you too will be cut off.

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

rsv@Romans:11:24 @ For if you have been cut from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and grafted, contrary to nature, into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these natural branches be grafted back into their own olive tree.

rsv@Romans:11:25 @ Lest you be wise in your own conceits, I want you to understand this mystery, brethren: a hardening has come upon part of Israel, until the full num ber of the Gentiles come in,

rsv@Romans:11:26 @ and so all Israel will be saved; as it is written, "The Deliverer will come from Zion, he will banish ungodliness from Jacob";

rsv@Romans:11:27 @ "and this will be my covenant with them when I take away their sins."

rsv@Romans:11:28 @ As regards the gospel they are enemies of God, for your sake; but as regards election they are beloved for the sake of their forefathers.

rsv@Romans:11:30 @ Just as you were once diso bedient to God but now have received mercy because of their diso bedience,

rsv@Romans:11:31 @ so they have now been diso bedient in order that by the mercy shown to you they also may receive mercy.

rsv@Romans:11:32 @ For God has consigned all men to diso bedience, that he may have mercy upon all.

rsv@Romans:11:34 @ "For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been his counselor?"

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

rsv@Romans:11:36 @ For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory for ever. Amen.

rsv@Romans:12:2 @ Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may prove what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

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 so ber judgment, each according to the measure of faith which God has assigned him.

rsv@Romans:12:4 @ For as in one body we have many mem bers, and all the mem bers do not have the same function,

rsv@Romans:12:5 @ so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually mem bers one of another.

rsv@Romans:12:8 @ he who exhorts, in his exhortation; he who contributes, in li berality; he who gives aid, with zeal; he who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness.

rsv@Romans:12:9 @ Let love be genuine; hate what is evil, hold fast to what is good;

rsv@Romans:12:11 @ Never flag in zeal, be aglow with the Spirit, serve the Lord.

rsv@Romans:12:12 @ Rejoice in your hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.

rsv@Romans:12:16 @ Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly; never be conceited.

rsv@Romans:12:19 @ Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God; for it is written, "Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord."

rsv@Romans:12:21 @ Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

rsv@Romans:13:1 @ Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God.

rsv@Romans:13:4 @ for he is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain; he is the servant of God to execute his wrath on the wrongdoer.

rsv@Romans:13:5 @ Therefore one must be subject, not only to avoid God's wrath but also for the sake of conscience.

rsv@Romans:13:11 @ Besides this you know what hour it is, how it is full time now for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed;

rsv@Romans:13:13 @ let us conduct ourselves becomingly as in the day, not in reveling and drunkenness, not in debauchery and licentiousness, not in quarreling and jealousy.

rsv@Romans:14:2 @ One believes he may eat anything, while the weak man eats only vegetables.

rsv@Romans:14:4 @ Who are you to pass judgment on the servant of another? It is before his own master that he stands or falls. And he will be upheld, for the Master is able to make him stand.

rsv@Romans:14:5 @ One man esteems one day as better than another, while another man esteems all days alike. Let every one be fully convinced in his own mind.

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

rsv@Romans:14:10 @ Why do you pass judgment on your brother? Or you, why do you despise your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of God;

rsv@Romans:14:15 @ If your brother is being injured by what you eat, you are no longer walking in love. Do not let what you eat cause the ruin of one for whom Christ died.

rsv@Romans:14:16 @ So do not let your good be spoken of as evil.

rsv@Romans:14:22 @ The faith 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 faith; for whatever does not proceed from faith is sin.

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

rsv@Romans:15:8 @ For I tell you that Christ became a servant to the circumcised to show God's truthfulness, in order to confirm the promises given to the patriarchs,

rsv@Romans:15:13 @ May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.

rsv@Romans:15:15 @ But on some points I have written to you very boldly by way of reminder, because of the grace given me by God

rsv@Romans:15:16 @ to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles in the priestly service of the gospel of God, so that the offering of the Gentiles may be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

rsv@Romans:15:17 @ In Christ Jesus, then, I have reason to be proud of my work for God.

rsv@Romans:15:18 @ For I will not venture to speak of anything except what Christ has wrought through me to win o bedience from the Gentiles, by word and deed,

rsv@Romans:15:20 @ thus making it my ambition to preach the gospel, not where Christ has already been named, lest I build on another man's foundation,

rsv@Romans:15:21 @ but as it is written, "They shall see who have never been told of him, and they shall understand who have never heard of him."

rsv@Romans:15:22 @ This is the reason why I have so often been hindered from coming to you.

rsv@Romans:15:24 @ I hope to see you in passing as I go to Spain, and to be sped on my journey there by you, once I have enjoyed your company for a little.

rsv@Romans:15:26 @ For Macedo'nia and Acha'ia have been pleased to make some contribution for the poor among the saints at Jerusalem;

rsv@Romans:15:27 @ they were pleased to do it, and indeed they are in debt to them, for if the Gentiles have come to share in their spiritual blessings, they ought also to be of service to them in material blessings.

rsv@Romans:15:28 @ When therefore I have completed this, and have delivered to them what has been raised, I shall go on by way of you to Spain;

rsv@1Corinthians:1:12 @ What I mean is that each one of you says, "I belong to Paul," or "I belong to Apol'los," or "I belong to Cephas," or "I belong to Christ."

rsv@1Corinthians:1:16 @ (I did baptize also the household of Steph'anas. Beyond that, I do not know whether I baptized any one else.)

rsv@1Corinthians:1:17 @ For Christ did not send me to baptize but to preach the gospel, and not with eloquent wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.

rsv@1Corinthians:1:18 @ For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

rsv@1Corinthians:1:20 @ Where is the wise man? Where is the scri be? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?

rsv@1Corinthians:1:21 @ For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach to save those who believe.

rsv@1Corinthians:1:29 @ so that no human being might boast in the presence of God.

rsv@1Corinthians:2:7 @ But we impart a secret and hidden wisdom of God, which God decreed before the ages for our glorification.

rsv@1Corinthians:2:12 @ Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from God, that we might understand the gifts bestowed on us by God.

rsv@1Corinthians:2:14 @ The unspiritual man does not receive the gifts of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned.

rsv@1Corinthians:2:15 @ The spiritual man judges all things, but is himself to be judged by no one.

rsv@1Corinthians:3:1 @ But I, brethren, could not address you as spiritual men, but as men of the flesh, as ba bes in Christ.

rsv@1Corinthians:3:3 @ for you are still of the flesh. For while there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not of the flesh, and behaving like ordinary men?

rsv@1Corinthians:3:4 @ For when one says, "I belong to Paul," and another, "I belong to Apol'los," are you not merely men?

rsv@1Corinthians:3:5 @ What then is Apol'los? What is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, as the Lord assigned to each.

rsv@1Corinthians:3:13 @ each man's work will become manifest; for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done.

rsv@1Corinthians:3:15 @ If any man's work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, but only as through fire.

rsv@1Corinthians:3:18 @ Let no one deceive himself. If any one among you thinks that he is wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise.

rsv@1Corinthians:4:2 @ Moreover it is required of stewards that they be found trustworthy.

rsv@1Corinthians:4:3 @ But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you or by any human court. I do not even judge myself.

rsv@1Corinthians:4:5 @ Therefore do not pronounce judgment before the time, before the Lord comes, who will bring to light the things now hidden in darkness and will disclose the purposes of the heart. Then every man will receive his commendation from God.

rsv@1Corinthians:4:6 @ I have applied all this to myself and Apol'los for your benefit, brethren, that you may learn by us not to go beyond what is written, that none of you may be puffed up in favor of one against another.

rsv@1Corinthians:4:8 @ Already you are filled! Already you have become rich! Without us you have become kings! And would that you did reign, so that we might share the rule with you!

rsv@1Corinthians:4:9 @ For I think that God has exhibited us apostles as last of all, like men sentenced to death; because we have become a spectacle to the world, to angels and to men.

rsv@1Corinthians:4:13 @ when slandered, we try to conciliate; we have become, and are now, as the refuse of the world, the offscouring of all things.

rsv@1Corinthians:4:14 @ I do not write this to make you ashamed, but to admonish you as my beloved children.

rsv@1Corinthians:4:15 @ For though you have countless guides in Christ, you do not have many fathers. For I became your father in Christ Jesus through the gospel.

rsv@1Corinthians:4:16 @ I urge you, then, be imitators of me.

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

rsv@1Corinthians:5:2 @ And you are arrogant! Ought you not rather to mourn? Let him who has done this be removed from among you.

rsv@1Corinthians:5:5 @ you are to deliver this man to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

rsv@1Corinthians:5:7 @ Cleanse out the old leaven that you may be a new lump, as you really are unleavened. For Christ, our paschal lamb, has been sacrificed.

rsv@1Corinthians:5:10 @ not at all meaning the immoral of this world, or the greedy and rob bers, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world.

rsv@1Corinthians:5:11 @ But rather I wrote to you not to associate with any one who bears the name of brother if he is guilty of immorality or greed, or is an idolater, reviler, drunkard, or rob ber--not even to eat with such a one.

rsv@1Corinthians:6:1 @ When one of you has a grievance against a brother, does he dare go to law before the unrighteous instead of the saints?

rsv@1Corinthians:6:2 @ Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are you incompetent to try trivial cases?

rsv@1Corinthians:6:4 @ If then you have such cases, why do you lay them before those who are least esteemed by the church?

rsv@1Corinthians:6:5 @ I say this to your shame. Can it be that there is no man among you wise enough to decide between mem bers of the brotherhood,

rsv@1Corinthians:6:6 @ but brother goes to law against brother, and that before un believers?

rsv@1Corinthians:6:7 @ To have lawsuits at all with one another is defeat for you. Why not rather suffer wrong? Why not rather be defrauded?

rsv@1Corinthians:6:9 @ Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither the immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor sexual perverts,

rsv@1Corinthians:6:10 @ nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor rob bers will inherit the kingdom of God.

rsv@1Corinthians:6:12 @ "All things are lawful for me," but not all things are helpful. "All things are lawful for me," but I will not be enslaved by anything.

rsv@1Corinthians:6:15 @ Do you not know that your bodies are mem bers of Christ? Shall I therefore take the mem bers of Christ and make them mem bers of a prostitute? Never!

rsv@1Corinthians:6:16 @ Do you not know that he who joins himself to a prostitute becomes one body with her? For, as it is written, "The two shall become one flesh."

rsv@1Corinthians:6:17 @ But he who is united to the Lord becomes one spirit with him.

rsv@1Corinthians:7:2 @ But because of the temptation to immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband.

rsv@1Corinthians:7:9 @ But if they cannot exercise self-control, they should marry. For it is better to marry than to be aflame with passion.

rsv@1Corinthians:7:11 @ (but if she does, let her remain single or else be reconciled to her husband)--and that the husband should not divorce his wife.

rsv@1Corinthians:7:12 @ To the rest I say, not the Lord, that if any brother has a wife who is an un believer, and she consents to live with him, he should not divorce her.

rsv@1Corinthians:7:13 @ If any woman has a husband who is an un believer, and he consents to live with her, she should not divorce him.

rsv@1Corinthians:7:14 @ For the un believing husband is consecrated through his wife, and the un believing wife is consecrated through her husband. Otherwise, your children would be unclean, but as it is they are holy.

rsv@1Corinthians:7:15 @ But if the un believing partner desires to separate, let it be so; in such a case the brother or sister is not bound. For God has called us to peace.

rsv@1Corinthians:7:23 @ You were bought with a price; do not become slaves of men.

rsv@1Corinthians:7:27 @ Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek to be free. Are you free from a wife? Do not seek marriage.

rsv@1Corinthians:7:32 @ I want you to be free from anxieties. The unmarried man is anxious about the affairs of the Lord, how to please the Lord;

rsv@1Corinthians:7:34 @ and his interests are divided. And the unmarried woman or girl is anxious about the affairs of the Lord, how to be holy in body and spirit; but the married woman is anxious about worldly affairs, how to please her husband.

rsv@1Corinthians:7:35 @ I say this for your own benefit, not to lay any restraint upon you, but to promote good order and to secure your undivided devotion to the Lord.

rsv@1Corinthians:7:36 @ If any one thinks that he is not behaving properly toward his betrothed, if his passions are strong, and it has to be, let him do as he wishes: let them marry--it is no sin.

rsv@1Corinthians:7:37 @ But whoever is firmly established in his heart, being under no necessity but having his desire under control, and has determined this in his heart, to keep her as his betrothed, he will do well.

rsv@1Corinthians:7:38 @ So that he who marries his betrothed does well; and he who refrains from marriage will do better.

rsv@1Corinthians:7:39 @ A wife is bound to her husband as long as he lives. If the husband dies, she is free to be married to whom she wishes, only in the Lord.

rsv@1Corinthians:8:5 @ For although there may be so-called gods in heaven or on earth--as indeed there are many "gods" and many "lords"--

rsv@1Corinthians:8:7 @ However, not all possess this knowledge. But some, through being hitherto accustomed to idols, eat food as really offered to an idol; and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.

rsv@1Corinthians:8:8 @ Food will not commend us to God. We are no worse off if we do not eat, and no better off if we do.

rsv@1Corinthians:8:9 @ Only take care lest this li berty of yours somehow become a stumbling block to the weak.

rsv@1Corinthians:8:10 @ For if any one sees you, a man of knowledge, at table in an idol's temple, might he not be encouraged, if his conscience is weak, to eat food offered to idols?

rsv@1Corinthians:9:5 @ Do we not have the right to be accompanied by a wife, as the other apostles and the brothers of the Lord and Cephas?

rsv@1Corinthians:9:10 @ Does he not speak entirely for our sake? It was written for our sake, because the plowman should plow in hope and the thresher thresh in hope of a share in the crop.

rsv@1Corinthians:9:11 @ If we have sown spiritual good among you, is it too much if we reap your material benefits?

rsv@1Corinthians:9:20 @ To the Jews I became as a Jew, in order to win Jews; to those under the law I became as one under the law--though not being myself under the law--that I might win those under the law.

rsv@1Corinthians:9:21 @ To those outside the law I became as one outside the law--not being without law toward God but under the law of Christ--that I might win those outside the law.

rsv@1Corinthians:9:22 @ To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.

rsv@1Corinthians:9:26 @ Well, I do not run aimlessly, I do not box as one beating the air;

rsv@1Corinthians:9:27 @ but I pommel my body and subdue it, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified.

rsv@1Corinthians:10:7 @ Do not be idolaters as some of them were; as it is written, "The people sat down to eat and drink and rose up to dance."

rsv@1Corinthians:10:13 @ No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your strength, but with the temptation will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

rsv@1Corinthians:10:14 @ Therefore, my beloved, shun the worship of idols.

rsv@1Corinthians:10:17 @ Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread.

rsv@1Corinthians:10:20 @ No, I imply that what pagans sacrifice they offer to demons and not to God. I do not want you to be partners with demons.

rsv@1Corinthians:10:27 @ If one of the un believers invites you to dinner and you are disposed to go, eat whatever is set before you without raising any question on the ground of conscience.

rsv@1Corinthians:10:28 @ (But if some one says to you, "This has been offered in sacrifice," then out of consideration for the man who informed you, and for conscience' sake--

rsv@1Corinthians:10:29 @ I mean his conscience, not yours--do not eat it.) For why should my li berty be determined by another man's scruples?

rsv@1Corinthians:10:30 @ If I partake with thankfulness, why am I denounced because of that for which I give thanks?

rsv@1Corinthians:10:33 @ just as I try to please all men in everything I do, not seeking my own advantage, but that of many, that they may be saved.

rsv@1Corinthians:11:1 @ Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ.

rsv@1Corinthians:11:2 @ I commend you because you remem ber me in everything and maintain 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 hair; but if it is disgraceful for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her wear a veil.

rsv@1Corinthians:11:10 @ That is why a woman ought to have a veil on her head, because of the angels.

rsv@1Corinthians:11:16 @ If any one is disposed to be contentious, we recognize no other practice, nor do the churches of God.

rsv@1Corinthians:11:17 @ But in the following instructions I do not commend you, because when you come together it is not for the better but for the worse.

rsv@1Corinthians:11:18 @ For, in the first place, when you assemble as a church, I hear that there are divisions among you; and I partly believe it,

rsv@1Corinthians:11:19 @ for there must be factions among you in order that those who are genuine among you may be recognized.

rsv@1Corinthians:11:23 @ For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread,

rsv@1Corinthians:11:27 @ Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of profaning the body and blood of the Lord.

rsv@1Corinthians:11:31 @ But if we judged ourselves truly, we should not be judged.

rsv@1Corinthians:11:32 @ But when we are judged by the Lord, we are chastened so that we may not be condemned along with the world.

rsv@1Corinthians:11:34 @ if any one is hungry, let him eat at home--lest you come together to be condemned. About the other things I will give directions when I come.

rsv@1Corinthians:12:1 @ Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I do not want you to be uninformed.

rsv@1Corinthians:12:2 @ You know that when you were heathen, you were led astray to dumb idols, however you may have been moved.

rsv@1Corinthians:12:3 @ Therefore I want you to understand that no one speaking by the Spirit of God ever says "Jesus be cursed!" and no one can say "Jesus is Lord" except by the Holy Spirit.

rsv@1Corinthians:12:10 @ to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the ability to distinguish between spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues.

rsv@1Corinthians:12:12 @ For just as the body is one and has many mem bers, and all the mem bers of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ.

rsv@1Corinthians:12:14 @ For the body does not consist of one mem ber but of many.

rsv@1Corinthians:12:15 @ If the foot should say, " Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body," that would not make it any less a part of the body.

rsv@1Corinthians:12:16 @ And if the ear should say, " Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body," that would not make it any less a part of the body.

rsv@1Corinthians:12:17 @ If the whole body were an eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole body were an ear, where would be the sense of smell?

rsv@1Corinthians:12:19 @ If all were a single organ, where would the body be?

rsv@1Corinthians:12:22 @ On the contrary, the parts of the body which seem to be weaker are indispensable,

rsv@1Corinthians:12:25 @ that there may be no discord in the body, but that the mem bers may have the same care for one another.

rsv@1Corinthians:12:26 @ If one mem ber suffers, all suffer together; if one mem ber is honored, all rejoice together.

rsv@1Corinthians:12:27 @ Now you are the body of Christ and individually mem bers of it.

rsv@1Corinthians:13:3 @ If I give away all I have, and if I deliver my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.

rsv@1Corinthians:13:7 @ Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

rsv@1Corinthians:13:11 @ When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; when I became a man, I gave up childish ways.

rsv@1Corinthians:13:12 @ For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall understand fully, even as I have been fully understood.

rsv@1Corinthians:14:5 @ Now I want you all to speak in tongues, but even more to prophesy. He who prophesies is greater than he who speaks in tongues, unless some one interprets, so that the church may be edified.

rsv@1Corinthians:14:6 @ Now, brethren, if I come to you speaking in tongues, how shall I benefit you unless I bring you some revelation or knowledge or prophecy or teaching?

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 said? For you will be speaking into the air.

rsv@1Corinthians:14:11 @ but if I do not know the meaning of the language, I shall be a foreigner to the speaker and the speaker a foreigner to me.

rsv@1Corinthians:14:20 @ Brethren, do not be children in your thinking; be ba bes in evil, but in thinking be mature.

rsv@1Corinthians:14:22 @ Thus, tongues are a sign not for believers but for un believers, while prophecy is not for un believers but for believers.

rsv@1Corinthians:14:23 @ If, therefore, the whole church assembles and all speak in tongues, and outsiders or un believers enter, will they not say that you are mad?

rsv@1Corinthians:14:24 @ But if all prophesy, and an un believer or outsider enters, he is convicted by all, he is called to account by all,

rsv@1Corinthians:14:26 @ What then, brethren? When you come together, each one has a hymn, a lesson, a revelation, a tongue, or an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification.

rsv@1Corinthians:14:27 @ If any speak in a tongue, let there be only two or at most three, and each in turn; and let one interpret.

rsv@1Corinthians:14:30 @ If a revelation is made to another sitting by, let the first be silent.

rsv@1Corinthians:14:31 @ For you can all prophesy one by one, so that all may learn and all be encouraged;

rsv@1Corinthians:14:34 @ the women should keep silence in the churches. For they are not permitted to speak, but should be subordinate, as even the law says.

rsv@1Corinthians:14:40 @ but all things should be done decently and in order.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:2 @ by which you are saved, if you hold it fast--unless you believed in vain.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:9 @ For I am the least of the apostles, unfit to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:11 @ Whether then it was I or they, so we preach and so you believed.

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

rsv@1Corinthians:15:14 @ if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain.

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

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

rsv@1Corinthians:15:17 @ If Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:19 @ If for this life only we have hoped in Christ, we are of all men most to be pitied.

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

rsv@1Corinthians:15:22 @ For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:23 @ But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:26 @ The last enemy to be destroyed is death.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:28 @ When all things are subjected to him, then the Son himself will also be subjected to him who put all things under him, that God may be everything to every one.

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

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

rsv@1Corinthians:15:33 @ Do not be deceived: "Bad company ruins good morals."

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 grain.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:45 @ Thus it is written, "The first man Adam became a living being"; the last Adam became a life-giving spirit.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:49 @ Just as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the man of heaven.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:51 @ Lo! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

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 raised imperishable, and we shall be changed.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:57 @ But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

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 vain.

rsv@1Corinthians:16:2 @ On the first day of every week, each of you is to put something aside and store it up, as he may prosper, so that contributions need not be made when I come.

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

rsv@1Corinthians:16:14 @ Let all that you do be done in love.

rsv@1Corinthians:16:16 @ I urge you to be subject to such men and to every fellow worker and laborer.

rsv@1Corinthians:16:17 @ I rejoice at the coming of Steph'anas and Fortuna'tus and Acha'icus, because they have made up for your absence;

rsv@1Corinthians:16:22 @ If any one has no love for the Lord, let him be accursed. Our Lord, come!

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

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

rsv@2Corinthians:1:3 @ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,

rsv@2Corinthians:1:4 @ who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

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, un bearably crushed that we despaired of life itself.

rsv@2Corinthians:1:11 @ You also must help us by prayer, so that many will give thanks on our behalf for the blessing granted us in answer to many prayers.

rsv@2Corinthians:1:12 @ For our boast is this, the testimony of our conscience that we have behaved in the world, and still more toward you, with holiness and godly sincerity, not by earthly wisdom but by the grace of God.

rsv@2Corinthians:1:14 @ as you have understood in part, that you can be proud of us as we can be of you, on the day of the Lord Jesus.

rsv@2Corinthians:1:15 @ Because I was sure of this, I wanted to come to you first, so that you might have a double pleasure;

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

rsv@2Corinthians:2:3 @ And I wrote as I did, so that when I came I might not suffer pain from those who should have made me rejoice, for I felt sure of all of you, that my joy would be the joy of you all.

rsv@2Corinthians:2:7 @ so you should rather turn to forgive and comfort him, or he may be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow.

rsv@2Corinthians:2:8 @ So I beg you to reaffirm your love for him.

rsv@2Corinthians:2:9 @ For this is why I wrote, that I might test you and know whether you are o bedient in everything.

rsv@2Corinthians:2:10 @ Any one whom you forgive, I also forgive. What I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, has been for your sake in the presence of Christ,

rsv@2Corinthians:2:13 @ but my mind could not rest because I did not find my brother Titus there. So I took leave of them and went on to Macedo'nia.

rsv@2Corinthians:2:14 @ But thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumph, and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of him everywhere.

rsv@2Corinthians:2:15 @ For we are the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing,

rsv@2Corinthians:3:1 @ Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or do we need, as some do, letters of recommendation to you, or from you?

rsv@2Corinthians:3:2 @ You yourselves are our letter of recommendation, written on your hearts, to be known and read by all men;

rsv@2Corinthians:3:6 @ who has made us competent to be ministers of a new covenant, not in a written code but in the Spirit; for the written code kills, but the Spirit gives life.

rsv@2Corinthians:3:7 @ Now if the dispensation of death, carved in letters on stone, came with such splendor that the Israelites could not look at Moses' face because of its brightness, fading as this was,

rsv@2Corinthians:3:8 @ will not the dispensation of the Spirit be attended with greater splendor?

rsv@2Corinthians:3:10 @ Indeed, in this case, what once had splendor has come to have no splendor at all, because of the splendor that surpasses it.

rsv@2Corinthians:3:14 @ But their minds were hardened; for to this day, when they read the old covenant, that same veil remains unlifted, because only through Christ is it taken away.

rsv@2Corinthians:3:18 @ And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being changed into his likeness from one degree of glory to another; for this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.

rsv@2Corinthians:4:4 @ In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the un believers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the likeness of God.

rsv@2Corinthians:4:7 @ But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, to show that the transcendent power belongs to God and not to us.

rsv@2Corinthians:4:10 @ always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies.

rsv@2Corinthians:4:11 @ For while we live we are always being given up to death for Jesus' sake, so that the life of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh.

rsv@2Corinthians:4:13 @ Since we have the same spirit of faith as he had who wrote, "I believed, and so I spoke," we too believe, and so we speak,

rsv@2Corinthians:4:16 @ So we do not lose heart. Though our outer nature is wasting away, our inner nature is being renewed every day.

rsv@2Corinthians:4:17 @ For this slight momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison,

rsv@2Corinthians:4:18 @ because we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen; for the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.

rsv@2Corinthians:5:3 @ so that by putting it on we may not be found naked.

rsv@2Corinthians:5:4 @ For while we are still in this tent, we sigh with anxiety; not that we would be unclothed, but that we would be further clothed, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.

rsv@2Corinthians:5:8 @ We are of good courage, and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord.

rsv@2Corinthians:5:10 @ For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive good or evil, according to what he has done in the body.

rsv@2Corinthians:5:12 @ We are not commending ourselves to you again but giving you cause to be proud of us, so that you may be able to answer those who pride themselves on a man's position and not on his heart.

rsv@2Corinthians:5:13 @ For if we are beside ourselves, it is for God; if we are in our right mind, it is for you.

rsv@2Corinthians:5:14 @ For the love of Christ controls us, because we are convinced that one has died for all; therefore all have died.

rsv@2Corinthians:5:17 @ Therefore, if any one is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, behold, the new has come.

rsv@2Corinthians:5:20 @ So we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We beseech you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.

rsv@2Corinthians:5:21 @ For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

rsv@2Corinthians:6:2 @ For he says, "At the acceptable time I have listened to you, and helped you on the day of salvation." Behold, now is the acceptable time; behold, now is the day of salvation.

rsv@2Corinthians:6:3 @ We put no obstacle in any one's way, so that no fault may be found with our ministry,

rsv@2Corinthians:6:5 @ beatings, imprisonments, tumults, labors, watching, hunger;

rsv@2Corinthians:6:6 @ by purity, knowledge, for bearance, kindness, the Holy Spirit, genuine love,

rsv@2Corinthians:6:9 @ as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold we live; as punished, and yet not killed;

rsv@2Corinthians:6:14 @ Do not be mismated with un believers. For what partnership have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?

rsv@2Corinthians:6:15 @ What accord has Christ with Be'lial? Or what has a believer in common with an un believer?

rsv@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 live in them and move among them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

rsv@2Corinthians:6:17 @ Therefore come out from them, and be separate from them, says the Lord, and touch nothing unclean; then I will welcome you,

rsv@2Corinthians:6:18 @ and I will be a father to you, and you shall be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty."

rsv@2Corinthians:7:1 @ Since we have these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from every defilement of body and spirit, and make holiness perfect in the fear of God.

rsv@2Corinthians:7:3 @ I do not say this to condemn you, for I said before that you are in our hearts, to die together and to live together.

rsv@2Corinthians:7:9 @ As it is, I rejoice, not because you were grieved, but because you were grieved into repenting; for you felt a godly grief, so that you suffered no loss through us.

rsv@2Corinthians:7:12 @ So although I wrote to you, it was not on account of the one who did the wrong, nor on account of the one who suffered the wrong, but in order that your zeal for us might be revealed to you in the sight of God.

rsv@2Corinthians:7:13 @ Therefore we are comforted. And besides our own comfort we rejoiced still more at the joy of Titus, because his mind has been set at rest by you all.

rsv@2Corinthians:7:14 @ For if I have expressed to him some pride in you, I was not put to shame; but just as everything we said to you was true, so our boasting before Titus has proved true.

rsv@2Corinthians:7:15 @ And his heart goes out all the more to you, as he remem bers the o bedience of you all, and the fear and trembling with which you received him.

rsv@2Corinthians:7:16 @ I rejoice, because I have perfect confidence in you.

rsv@2Corinthians:8:1 @ We want you to know, brethren, about the grace of God which has been shown in the churches of Macedo'nia,

rsv@2Corinthians:8:2 @ for in a severe test of affliction, their abundance of joy and their extreme poverty have overflowed in a wealth of li berality on their part.

rsv@2Corinthians:8:3 @ For they gave according to their means, as I can testify, and beyond their means, of their own free will,

rsv@2Corinthians:8:4 @ begging us earnestly for the favor of taking part in the relief of the saints--

rsv@2Corinthians:8:6 @ Accordingly we have urged Titus that as he had already made a beginning, he should also complete among you this gracious work.

rsv@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, so that by his poverty you might become rich.

rsv@2Corinthians:8:10 @ And in this matter I give my advice: it is best for you now to complete what a year ago you began not only to do but to desire,

rsv@2Corinthians:8:11 @ so that your readiness in desiring it may be matched by your completing it out of what you have.

rsv@2Corinthians:8:13 @ I do not mean that others should be eased and you burdened,

rsv@2Corinthians:8:14 @ but that as a matter of equality your abundance at the present time should supply their want, so that their abundance may supply your want, that there may be equality.

rsv@2Corinthians:8:16 @ But thanks be to God who puts the same earnest care for you into the heart of Titus.

rsv@2Corinthians:8:17 @ For he not only accepted our appeal, but being himself very earnest he is going to you of his own accord.

rsv@2Corinthians:8:19 @ and not only that, but he has been appointed by the churches to travel with us in this gracious work which we are carrying on, for the glory of the Lord and to show our good will.

rsv@2Corinthians:8:20 @ We intend that no one should blame us about this li beral gift which we are administering,

rsv@2Corinthians:8:22 @ And with them we are sending our brother whom we have often tested and found earnest in many matters, but who is now more earnest than ever because of his great confidence in you.

rsv@2Corinthians:8:24 @ So give proof, before the churches, of your love and of our boasting about you to these men.

rsv@2Corinthians:9:2 @ for I know your readiness, of which I boast about you to the people of Macedo'nia, saying that Acha'ia has been ready since last year; and your zeal has stirred up most of them.

rsv@2Corinthians:9:3 @ But I am sending the brethren so that our boasting about you may not prove vain in this case, so that you may be ready, as I said you would be;

rsv@2Corinthians:9:4 @ lest if some Macedo'nians come with me and find that you are not ready, we be humiliated--to say nothing of you--for being so confident.

rsv@2Corinthians:9:5 @ So I thought it necessary to urge the brethren to go on to you before me, and arrange in advance for this gift you have promised, so that it may be ready not as an exaction but as a willing gift.

rsv@2Corinthians:9:11 @ You will be enriched in every way for great generosity, which through us will produce thanksgiving to God;

rsv@2Corinthians:9:13 @ Under the test of this service, you will glorify God by your o bedience in acknowledging the gospel of Christ, and by the generosity of your contribution for them and for all others;

rsv@2Corinthians:9:14 @ while they long for you and pray for you, because of the surpassing grace of God in you.

rsv@2Corinthians:9:15 @ Thanks be to God for his inexpressible gift!

rsv@2Corinthians:10:2 @ I beg of you that when I am present I may not have to show boldness with such confidence as I count on showing against some who suspect us of acting in worldly fashion.

rsv@2Corinthians:10:5 @ We destroy arguments and every proud obstacle to the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to o bey Christ,

rsv@2Corinthians:10:6 @ being ready to punish every diso bedience, when your o bedience is complete.

rsv@2Corinthians:10:7 @ Look at what is before your eyes. If any one is confident that he is Christ's, let him remind himself that as he is Christ's, so are we.

rsv@2Corinthians:10:8 @ For even if I boast a little too much of our authority, which the Lord gave for building you up and not for destroying you, I shall not be put to shame.

rsv@2Corinthians:10:9 @ I would not seem to be frightening you with letters.

rsv@2Corinthians:10:13 @ But we will not boast beyond limit, but will keep to the limits God has apportioned us, to reach even to you.

rsv@2Corinthians:10:15 @ We do not boast beyond limit, in other men's labors; but our hope is that as your faith increases, our field among you may be greatly enlarged,

rsv@2Corinthians:10:16 @ so that we may preach the gospel in lands beyond you, without boasting of work already done in another's field.

rsv@2Corinthians:11:1 @ I wish you would bear with me in a little foolishness. Do bear with me!

rsv@2Corinthians:11:2 @ I feel a divine jealousy for you, for I betrothed you to Christ to present you as a pure bride to her one husband.

rsv@2Corinthians:11:3 @ But I am afraid that as the serpent deceived Eve by his cunning, your thoughts will be led astray from a sincere and pure devotion to Christ.

rsv@2Corinthians:11:7 @ Did I commit a sin in abasing myself so that you might be exalted, because I preached God's gospel without cost to you?

rsv@2Corinthians:11:8 @ I rob bed other churches by accepting support from them in order to serve you.

rsv@2Corinthians:11:10 @ As the truth of Christ is in me, this boast of mine shall not be silenced in the regions of Acha'ia.

rsv@2Corinthians:11:11 @ And why? Because I do not love you? God knows I do!

rsv@2Corinthians:11:19 @ For you gladly bear with fools, being wise yourselves!

rsv@2Corinthians:11:20 @ For you bear it if a man makes slaves of you, or preys upon you, or takes advantage of you, or puts on airs, or strikes you in the face.

rsv@2Corinthians:11:23 @ Are they servants of Christ? I am a better one--I am talking like a madman--with far greater labors, far more imprisonments, with countless beatings, and often near death.

rsv@2Corinthians:11:25 @ Three times I have been beaten with rods; once I was stoned. Three times I have been shipwrecked; a night and a day I have been adrift at sea;

rsv@2Corinthians:11:26 @ on frequent journeys, in danger from rivers, danger from rob bers, danger from my own people, danger from Gentiles, danger in the city, danger in the wilderness, danger at sea, danger from false brethren;

rsv@2Corinthians:12:1 @ I must boast; there is nothing to be gained by it, but I will go on to visions and revelations of the Lord.

rsv@2Corinthians:12:4 @ and he heard things that cannot be told, which man may not utter.

rsv@2Corinthians:12:5 @ On behalf of this man I will boast, but on my own behalf I will not boast, except of my weaknesses.

rsv@2Corinthians:12:6 @ Though if I wish to boast, I shall not be a fool, for I shall be speaking the truth. But I refrain from it, so that no one may think more of me than he sees in me or hears from me.

rsv@2Corinthians:12:7 @ And to keep me from being too elated by the abundance of revelations, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan, to harass me, to keep me from being too elated.

rsv@2Corinthians:12:8 @ Three times I besought the Lord about this, that it should leave me;

rsv@2Corinthians:12:11 @ I have been a fool! You forced me to it, for I ought to have been commended by you. For I was not at all inferior to these superlative apostles, even though I am nothing.

rsv@2Corinthians:12:14 @ Here for the third time I am ready to come to you. And I will not be a burden, for I seek not what is yours but you; for children ought not to lay up for their parents, but parents for their children.

rsv@2Corinthians:12:15 @ I will most gladly spend and be spent for your souls. If I love you the more, am I to be loved the less?

rsv@2Corinthians:12:16 @ But granting that I myself did not burden you, I was crafty, you say, and got the better of you by guile.

rsv@2Corinthians:12:19 @ Have you been thinking all along that we have been defending ourselves before you? It is in the sight of God that we have been speaking in Christ, and all for your upbuilding, beloved.

rsv@2Corinthians:12:20 @ For I fear that perhaps I may come and find you not what I wish, and that you may find me not what you wish; that perhaps there may be quarreling, jealousy, anger, selfishness, slander, gossip, conceit, and disorder.

rsv@2Corinthians:12:21 @ I fear that when I come again my God may humble me before you, and I may have to mourn over many of those who sinned before and have not repented of the impurity, immorality, and licentiousness which they have practiced.

rsv@2Corinthians:13:1 @ This is the third time I am coming to you. Any charge must be sustained by the evidence of two or three witnesses.

rsv@2Corinthians:13:2 @ I warned those who sinned before and all the others, and I warn them now while absent, as I did when present on my second visit, that if I come again I will not spare them--

rsv@2Corinthians:13:10 @ I write this while I am away from you, in order that when I come I may not have to be severe in my use of the authority which the Lord has given me for building up and not for tearing down.

rsv@2Corinthians:13:11 @ Finally, brethren, farewell. Mend your ways, heed my appeal, agree with one another, live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you.

rsv@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.

rsv@Galatians:1:5 @ to whom be the glory for ever and ever. Amen.

rsv@Galatians:1:8 @ But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to that which we preached to you, let him be accursed.

rsv@Galatians:1:9 @ As we have said before, so now I say again, If any one is preaching to you a gospel contrary to that which you received, let him be accursed.

rsv@Galatians:1:10 @ Am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still pleasing men, I should not be a servant of Christ.

rsv@Galatians:1:14 @ and I advanced in Judaism beyond many of my own age among my people, so extremely zealous was I for the traditions of my fathers.

rsv@Galatians:1:15 @ But when he who had set me apart before I was born, and had called me through his grace,

rsv@Galatians:1:17 @ nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia; and again I returned to Damascus.

rsv@Galatians:1:20 @ (In what I am writing to you, before God, I do not lie!)

rsv@Galatians:1:24 @ And they glorified God because of me.

rsv@Galatians:2:2 @ I went up by revelation; and I laid before them (but privately before those who were of repute) the gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, lest somehow I should be running or had run in vain.

rsv@Galatians:2:3 @ But even Titus, who was with me, was not compelled to be circumcised, though he was a Greek.

rsv@Galatians:2:4 @ But because of false brethren secretly brought in, who slipped in to spy out our freedom which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage--

rsv@Galatians:2:5 @ to them we did not yield submission even for a moment, that the truth of the gospel might be preserved for you.

rsv@Galatians:2:6 @ And from those who were reputed to be something (what they were makes no difference to me; God shows no partiality)--those, I say, who were of repute added nothing to me;

rsv@Galatians:2:7 @ but on the contrary, when they saw that I had been entrusted with the gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been entrusted with the gospel to the circumcised

rsv@Galatians:2:9 @ and when they perceived the grace that was given to me, James and Cephas and John, who were reputed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised;

rsv@Galatians:2:10 @ only they would have us remem ber the poor, which very thing I was eager to do.

rsv@Galatians:2:11 @ But when Cephas came to Antioch I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned.

rsv@Galatians:2:12 @ For before certain 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 straightforward about the truth of the gospel, I said 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 faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith 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? Certainly not!

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 faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

rsv@Galatians:3:1 @ O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified?

rsv@Galatians:3:3 @ Are you so foolish? Having begun with the Spirit, are you now ending with the flesh?

rsv@Galatians:3:6 @ Thus Abraham " believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness."

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

rsv@Galatians:3:10 @ For all who rely on works of the law are under a curse; for it is written, "Cursed be every one who does not abide by all things written in the book of the law, and do them."

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

rsv@Galatians:3:13 @ Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us--for it is written, "Cursed be every one who hangs on a tree"--

rsv@Galatians:3:15 @ To give a human example, brethren: no one annuls even a man's will, or adds to it, once it has been ratified.

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 ordained by angels through an intermediary.

rsv@Galatians:3:21 @ Is the law then against the promises of God? Certainly 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 faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.

rsv@Galatians:3:23 @ Now before faith came, we were confined under the law, kept under restraint until faith should be revealed.

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

rsv@Galatians:4:1 @ I mean that the heir, as long as he is a child, is no better than a slave, though he is the owner of all the estate;

rsv@Galatians:4:6 @ And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, "Abba! Father!"

rsv@Galatians:4:8 @ Formerly, when you did not know God, you were in bondage to beings that by nature are no gods;

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 again to the weak and beggarly elemental spirits, whose slaves you want to be once more?

rsv@Galatians:4:12 @ Brethren, I beseech you, become as I am, for I also have become as you are. You did me no wrong;

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

rsv@Galatians:4:15 @ What has become of the satisfaction you felt? For I bear you witness that, if possible, you would have plucked out your eyes and given them to me.

rsv@Galatians:4:16 @ Have I then become your enemy by telling you the truth?

rsv@Galatians:4:18 @ For a good purpose it is always good to be made much of, and not only when I am present with you.

rsv@Galatians:4:19 @ My little children, with whom I am again in travail until Christ be formed in you!

rsv@Galatians:4:20 @ I could wish to be present with you now and to change my tone, for I am perplexed about you.

rsv@Galatians:4:21 @ Tell me, you who desire to be under law, do you not hear the law?

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

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 travail; for the children of the desolate one are many more than the children of her that is married."

rsv@Galatians:5:2 @ Now I, Paul, say to you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will be of no advantage to you.

rsv@Galatians:5:4 @ You are severed from Christ, you who would be justified by the law; you have fallen away from grace.

rsv@Galatians:5:7 @ You were running well; who hindered you from o beying the truth?

rsv@Galatians:5:10 @ I have confidence in the Lord that you will take no other view than mine; and he who is troubling you will bear his judgment, whoever he is.

rsv@Galatians:5:11 @ But if I, brethren, still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? In that case the stumbling block of the cross has been removed.

rsv@Galatians:5:13 @ For you were called to freedom, brethren; only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love be servants of one another.

rsv@Galatians:5:21 @ envy, drunkenness, carousing, and the like. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

rsv@Galatians:5:24 @ And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

rsv@Galatians:6:1 @ Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Look to yourself, lest you too be tempted.

rsv@Galatians:6:2 @ Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.

rsv@Galatians:6:4 @ But let each one test his own work, and then his reason to boast will be in himself alone and not in his neighbor.

rsv@Galatians:6:5 @ For each man will have to bear his own load.

rsv@Galatians:6:7 @ Do not be deceived; God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

rsv@Galatians:6:12 @ It is those who want to make a good showing in the flesh that would compel you to be circumcised, and only in order that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.

rsv@Galatians:6:14 @ But far be it from me to glory except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

rsv@Galatians:6:16 @ Peace and mercy be upon all who walk by this rule, upon the Israel of God.

rsv@Galatians:6:17 @ Henceforth let no man trouble me; for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus.

rsv@Galatians:6:18 @ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brethren. Amen.

rsv@Ephesians:1:3 @ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places,

rsv@Ephesians:1:4 @ even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him.

rsv@Ephesians:1:5 @ He destined us in love to be his sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will,

rsv@Ephesians:1:6 @ to the praise of his glorious grace which he freely bestowed on us in the Beloved.

rsv@Ephesians:1:12 @ we who first hoped in Christ have been destined and appointed to live for the praise of his glory.

rsv@Ephesians:1:13 @ In him you also, who have heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and have believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit,

rsv@Ephesians:1:15 @ For this reason, because I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints,

rsv@Ephesians:1:16 @ I do not cease to give thanks for you, remem bering you in my prayers,

rsv@Ephesians:1:19 @ and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power in us who believe, according to the working of his great might

rsv@Ephesians:2:2 @ in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of diso bedience.

rsv@Ephesians:2:5 @ even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),

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

rsv@Ephesians:2:9 @ not because of works, lest any man should boast.

rsv@Ephesians:2:10 @ For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

rsv@Ephesians:2:11 @ Therefore remem ber that at one time you Gentiles in the flesh, called the uncircumcision by what is called the circumcision, which is made in the flesh by hands--

rsv@Ephesians:2:12 @ remem ber that you were at that time separated from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world.

rsv@Ephesians:2:13 @ But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near in the blood of Christ.

rsv@Ephesians:2:19 @ So then you are no longer strangers and sojourners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and mem bers of the household of God,

rsv@Ephesians:2:20 @ built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone,

rsv@Ephesians:3:1 @ For this reason I, Paul, a prisoner for Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles--

rsv@Ephesians:3:5 @ which was not made known to the sons of men in other generations as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;

rsv@Ephesians:3:6 @ that is, how the Gentiles are fellow heirs, mem bers of the same body, and partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel.

rsv@Ephesians:3:10 @ that through the church the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known to the principalities and powers in the heavenly places.

rsv@Ephesians:3:14 @ For this reason I bow my knees before the Father,

rsv@Ephesians:3:16 @ that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with might through his Spirit in the inner man,

rsv@Ephesians:3:17 @ and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love,

rsv@Ephesians:3:19 @ and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fulness of God.

rsv@Ephesians:3:21 @ to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, for ever and ever. Amen.

rsv@Ephesians:4:1 @ I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of the calling to which you have been called,

rsv@Ephesians:4:2 @ with all lowliness and meekness, with patience, for bearing one another in love,

rsv@Ephesians:4:4 @ There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call,

rsv@Ephesians:4:11 @ And his gifts were that some should be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers,

rsv@Ephesians:4:14 @ so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the cunning of men, by their craftiness in deceitful wiles.

rsv@Ephesians:4:18 @ they are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, due to their hardness of heart;

rsv@Ephesians:4:19 @ they have become callous and have given themselves up to licentiousness, greedy to practice every kind of uncleanness.

rsv@Ephesians:4:22 @ Put off your old nature which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful lusts,

rsv@Ephesians:4:23 @ and be renewed in the spirit of your minds,

rsv@Ephesians:4:25 @ Therefore, putting away falsehood, let every one speak the truth with his neighbor, for we are mem bers one of another.

rsv@Ephesians:4:26 @ Be angry but do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger,

rsv@1Thessalonians:1:4 @ For we know, brethren beloved by God, that he has chosen you;

rsv@1Thessalonians:1:5 @ for our gospel came to you not only in word, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with full conviction. You know what kind of men we proved to be among you for your sake.

rsv@1Thessalonians:1:6 @ And you became imitators of us and of the Lord, for you received the word in much affliction, with joy inspired by the Holy Spirit;

rsv@1Thessalonians:1:7 @ so that you became an example to all the believers in Macedo'nia and in Acha'ia.

rsv@1Thessalonians:2:2 @ but though we had already suffered and been shamefully treated at Philip'pi, as you know, we had courage in our God to declare to you the gospel of God in the face of great opposition.

rsv@1Thessalonians:2:4 @ but just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not to please men, but to please God who tests our hearts.

rsv@1Thessalonians:2:8 @ So, being affectionately desirous of you, we were ready to share with you not only the gospel of God but also our own selves, because you had become very dear to us.

rsv@1Thessalonians:2:9 @ For you remem ber our labor and toil, brethren; we worked night and day, that we might not burden any of you, while we preached to you the gospel of God.

rsv@1Thessalonians:2:10 @ You are witnesses, and God also, how holy and righteous and blameless was our behavior to you believers;

rsv@1Thessalonians:2:13 @ And we also thank God constantly for this, that when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men but as what it really is, the word of God, which is at work in you believers.

rsv@1Thessalonians:2:14 @ For you, brethren, became imitators of the churches of God in Christ Jesus which are in Judea; for you suffered the same things from your own countrymen as they did from the Jews,

rsv@1Thessalonians:2:16 @ by hindering us from speaking to the Gentiles that they may be saved--so as always to fill up the measure of their sins. But God's wrath has come upon them at last!

rsv@1Thessalonians:2:17 @ But since we were bereft of you, brethren, for a short time, in person not in heart, we endeavored the more eagerly and with great desire to see you face to face;

rsv@1Thessalonians:2:18 @ because we wanted to come to you--I, Paul, again and again--but Satan hindered us.

rsv@1Thessalonians:2:19 @ For what is our hope or joy or crown of boasting before our Lord Jesus at his coming? Is it not you?

rsv@1Thessalonians:3:1 @ Therefore when we could bear it no longer, we were willing to be left behind at Athens alone,

rsv@1Thessalonians:3:3 @ that no one be moved by these afflictions. You yourselves know that this is to be our lot.

rsv@1Thessalonians:3:4 @ For when we were with you, we told you beforehand that we were to suffer affliction; just as it has come to pass, and as you know.

rsv@1Thessalonians:3:5 @ For this reason, when I could bear it no longer, I sent that I might know your faith, for fear that somehow the tempter had tempted you and that our labor would be in vain.

rsv@1Thessalonians:3:6 @ But now that Timothy has come to us from you, and has brought us the good news of your faith and love and reported that you always remem ber us kindly and long to see us, as we long to see you--

rsv@1Thessalonians:3:7 @ for this reason, brethren, in all our distress and affliction we have been comforted about you through your faith;

rsv@1Thessalonians:3:9 @ For what thanksgiving can we render to God for you, for all the joy which we feel for your sake before our God,

rsv@1Thessalonians:3:13 @ so that he may establish your hearts unblamable in holiness before our God and Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.

rsv@1Thessalonians:4:1 @ Finally, brethren, we beseech and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that as you learned from us how you ought to live and to please God, just as you are doing, you do so more and more.

rsv@1Thessalonians:4:6 @ that no man transgress, and wrong his brother in this matter, because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as we solemnly forewarned you.

rsv@1Thessalonians:4:9 @ But concerning love of the brethren you have no need to have any one write to you, for you yourselves have been taught by God to love one another;

rsv@1Thessalonians:4:12 @ so that you may command the respect of outsiders, and be dependent on nobody.

rsv@1Thessalonians:4:14 @ For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep.

rsv@1Thessalonians:4:17 @ then we who are alive, who are left, shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air; and so we shall always be with the Lord.

rsv@1Thessalonians:5:3 @ When people say, "There is peace and security," then sudden destruction will come upon them as travail comes upon a woman with child, and there will be no escape.

rsv@1Thessalonians:5:6 @ So then let us not sleep, as others do, but let us keep awake and be so ber.

rsv@1Thessalonians:5:8 @ But, since we belong to the day, let us be so ber, and put on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation.

rsv@1Thessalonians:5:12 @ But we beseech you, brethren, to respect those who labor among you and are over you in the Lord and admonish you,

rsv@1Thessalonians:5:13 @ and to esteem them very highly in love because of their work. Be at peace among yourselves.

rsv@1Thessalonians:5:14 @ And we exhort you, brethren, admonish the idlers, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with them all.

rsv@1Thessalonians:5:23 @ May the God of peace himself sanctify you wholly; and may your spirit and soul and body be kept sound and blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

rsv@1Thessalonians:5:27 @ I adjure you by the Lord that this letter be read to all the brethren.

rsv@1Thessalonians:5:28 @ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

rsv@2Thessalonians:1:3 @ We are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, as is fitting, because your faith is growing abundantly, and the love of every one of you for one another is increasing.

rsv@2Thessalonians:1:5 @ This is evidence of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be made worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you are suffering--

rsv@2Thessalonians:1:8 @ inflicting vengeance upon those who do not know God and upon those who do not o bey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.

rsv@2Thessalonians:1:10 @ when he comes on that day to be glorified in his saints, and to be marveled at in all who have believed, because our testimony to you was believed.

rsv@2Thessalonians:1:12 @ so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

rsv@2Thessalonians:2:1 @ Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our assembling to meet him, we beg you, brethren,

rsv@2Thessalonians:2:2 @ not to be quickly shaken in mind or excited, either by spirit or by word, or by letter purporting to be from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come.

rsv@2Thessalonians:2:3 @ Let no one deceive you in any way; for that day will not come, unless the re bellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of perdition,

rsv@2Thessalonians:2:4 @ who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God.

rsv@2Thessalonians:2:5 @ Do you not remem ber that when I was still with you I told you this?

rsv@2Thessalonians:2:6 @ And you know what is restraining him now so that he may be revealed in his time.

rsv@2Thessalonians:2:8 @ And then the lawless one will be revealed, and the Lord Jesus will slay him with the breath of his mouth and destroy him by his appearing and his coming.

rsv@2Thessalonians:2:9 @ The coming of the lawless one by the activity of Satan will be with all power and with pretended signs and wonders,

rsv@2Thessalonians:2:10 @ and with all wicked deception for those who are to perish, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.

rsv@2Thessalonians:2:11 @ Therefore God sends upon them a strong delusion, to make them believe what is false,

rsv@2Thessalonians:2:12 @ so that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

rsv@2Thessalonians:2:13 @ But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God chose you from the beginning to be saved, through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth.

rsv@2Thessalonians:3:2 @ and that we may be delivered from wicked and evil men; for not all have faith.

rsv@2Thessalonians:3:9 @ It was not because we have not that right, but to give you in our conduct an example to imitate.

rsv@Titus:1:12 @ One of themselves, a prophet of their own, said, "Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons."

rsv@Titus:1:13 @ This testimony is true. Therefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,

rsv@Philemon:1:13 @ I would have been glad to keep him with me, in order that he might serve me on your behalf during my imprisonment for the gospel;

rsv@Philemon:1:16 @ no longer as a slave but more than a slave, as a beloved brother, especially to me but how much more to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.

rsv@Philemon:1:20 @ Yes, brother, I want some benefit from you in the Lord. Refresh my heart in Christ.

rsv@Philemon:1:21 @ Confident of your o bedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even more than I say.

rsv@Philemon:1:22 @ At the same time, prepare a guest room for me, for I am hoping through your prayers to be granted to you.

rsv@Philemon:1:25 @ The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.

rsv@Hebrews:1:3 @ He reflects the glory of God and bears the very stamp of his nature, upholding the universe by his word of power. When he had made purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

rsv@Hebrews:1:4 @ having become as much superior to angels as the name he has obtained is more excellent than theirs.

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

rsv@Hebrews:1:9 @ Thou hast loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; therefore God, thy God, has anointed thee with the oil of gladness beyond thy comrades."

rsv@Hebrews:1:10 @ And, "Thou, Lord, didst found the earth in the beginning, and the heavens are the work of thy hands;

rsv@Hebrews:1:12 @ like a mantle thou wilt roll them up, and they will be changed. But thou art the same, and thy years will never end."

rsv@Hebrews:2:2 @ For if the message declared by angels was valid and every transgression or diso bedience received a just retribution,

rsv@Hebrews:2:6 @ It has been testified somewhere, "What is man that thou art mindful of him, or the son of man, that thou carest for him?

rsv@Hebrews:2:9 @ But we see Jesus, who for a little while was made lower than the angels, crowned with glory and honor because of the suffering of death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for every one.

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

rsv@Hebrews:2:18 @ For because he himself has suffered and been tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.

rsv@Hebrews:3:3 @ Yet Jesus has been counted worthy of as much more glory than Moses as the builder of a house has more honor than the house.

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

rsv@Hebrews:3:8 @ do not harden your hearts as in the re bellion, on the day of testing in the wilderness,

rsv@Hebrews:3:12 @ Take care, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil, un believing heart, leading you to fall away from the living God.

rsv@Hebrews:3:13 @ But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called "today," that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.

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

rsv@Hebrews:3:16 @ Who were they that heard and yet were re bellious? Was it not all those who left Egypt under the leadership of Moses?

rsv@Hebrews:3:18 @ And to whom did he swear that they should never enter his rest, but to those who were diso bedient?

rsv@Hebrews:3:19 @ So we see that they were unable to enter because of un belief.

rsv@Hebrews:4:1 @ Therefore, while the promise of entering his rest remains, let us fear lest any of you be judged to have failed 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 faith in the hearers.

rsv@Hebrews:4:3 @ For we who have believed enter that rest, as he has said, "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:4:6 @ Since therefore it remains for some to enter it, and those who formerly received the good news failed to enter because of diso bedience,

rsv@Hebrews:4:11 @ Let us therefore strive to enter that rest, that no one fall by the same sort of diso bedience.

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

rsv@Hebrews:4:15 @ For we have not a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin.

rsv@Hebrews:5:1 @ For every high priest chosen from among men is appointed to act on behalf of men in relation to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.

rsv@Hebrews:5:2 @ He can deal gently with the ignorant and wayward, since he himself is beset with weakness.

rsv@Hebrews:5:3 @ Because of this he is bound to offer sacrifice for his own sins as well as for those of the people.

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

rsv@Hebrews:5:8 @ Although he was a Son, he learned o bedience through what he suffered;

rsv@Hebrews:5:9 @ and being made perfect he became the source of eternal salvation to all who o bey him,

rsv@Hebrews:5:10 @ being designated by God a high priest after the order of Melchiz'edek.

rsv@Hebrews:5:11 @ About this we have much to say which is hard to explain, 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 again the first principles of God's word. You need milk, not solid food;

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

rsv@Hebrews:6:8 @ But if it bears thorns and thistles, it is worthless and near to being cursed; its end is to be burned.

rsv@Hebrews:6:9 @ Though we speak thus, yet in your case, beloved, we feel sure of better things that belong to salvation.

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

rsv@Hebrews:6:18 @ so that through two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible that God should prove false, we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to seize the hope set before us.

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 curtain,

rsv@Hebrews:6:20 @ where Jesus has gone as a forerunner on our behalf, having become a high priest for ever after the order of Melchiz'edek.

rsv@Hebrews:7:3 @ He is without father or mother or genealogy, and has neither beginning of days nor end of life, but resembling the Son of God he continues a priest for ever.

rsv@Hebrews:7:7 @ It is beyond dispute that the inferior is blessed by the superior.

rsv@Hebrews:7:11 @ Now if perfection had been attainable 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:7:13 @ For the one of whom these things are spoken belonged to another tri be, from which no one has ever served at the altar.

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

rsv@Hebrews:7:15 @ This becomes even more evident when another priest arises in the likeness of Melchiz'edek,

rsv@Hebrews:7:16 @ who has become a priest, not according to a legal requirement concerning bodily descent but by the power of an indestructible life.

rsv@Hebrews:7:18 @ On the one hand, a former commandment is set aside because of its weakness and uselessness

rsv@Hebrews:7:19 @ (for the law made nothing perfect); on the other hand, a better hope is introduced, through which we draw near to God.

rsv@Hebrews:7:21 @ Those who formerly became priests took their office without an oath, but this one was addressed with an oath, "The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind, `Thou art a priest for ever.'"

rsv@Hebrews:7:22 @ This makes Jesus the surety of a better covenant.

rsv@Hebrews:7:23 @ The former priests were many in num ber, because they were prevented by death from continuing in office;

rsv@Hebrews:7:24 @ but he holds his priesthood permanently, because he continues for ever.

rsv@Hebrews:7:28 @ Indeed, the law appoints men in their weakness as high priests, but the word of the oath, which came later than the law, appoints a Son who has been made perfect for ever.

rsv@Hebrews:8:4 @ Now if he were on earth, he would not be a priest at all, since there are priests who offer gifts according to the law.

rsv@Hebrews:8:6 @ But as it is, Christ has obtained 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:8:7 @ For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion for a second.

rsv@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 write them on their hearts, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

rsv@Hebrews:8:12 @ For I will be merciful toward their iniquities, and I will remem ber their sins no more."

rsv@Hebrews:8:13 @ In speaking of a new covenant he treats the first as obsolete. And what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.

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

rsv@Hebrews:9:6 @ These preparations having thus been made, the priests go continually into the outer tent, performing their ritual duties;

rsv@Hebrews:9:16 @ For where a will is involved, the death of the one who made it must be established.

rsv@Hebrews:9:19 @ For when every commandment of the law had been declared by Moses to all the people, he took the blood of calves and goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people,

rsv@Hebrews:9:23 @ Thus it was necessary for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these rites, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

rsv@Hebrews:9:24 @ For Christ has entered, not into a sanctuary made with hands, a copy of the true one, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf.

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 waiting for him.

rsv@Hebrews:10:2 @ Otherwise, would they not have ceased to be offered? If the worshipers had once been cleansed, they would no longer have any consciousness of sin.

rsv@Hebrews:10:10 @ And by that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

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

rsv@Hebrews:10:15 @ And the Holy Spirit also bears witness to us; for after saying,

rsv@Hebrews:10:17 @ then he adds, "I will remem ber their sins and their misdeeds no more."

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

rsv@Hebrews:10:29 @ How much worse punishment do you think will be deserved by the man who has spurned the Son of God, and profaned the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and outraged the Spirit of grace?

rsv@Hebrews:10:33 @ sometimes being publicly exposed to abuse and affliction, and sometimes being partners with those so treated.

rsv@Hebrews:10:34 @ For you had compassion on the prisoners, and you joyfully accepted the plundering of your property, since you knew that you yourselves had a better possession and an abiding one.

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

rsv@Hebrews:11:5 @ By faith 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 faith 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 faith 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 faith.

rsv@Hebrews:11:8 @ By faith Abraham o beyed 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:11:15 @ If they had been thinking of that land from which they had gone out, they would have had opportunity to return.

rsv@Hebrews:11:16 @ But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared for them a city.

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

rsv@Hebrews:11:23 @ By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid for three months by his parents, because they saw that the child was beautiful; and they were not afraid of the king's edict.

rsv@Hebrews:11:24 @ By faith Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter,

rsv@Hebrews:11:27 @ By faith he left Egypt, not being afraid of the anger of the king; for he endured as seeing him who is invisible.

rsv@Hebrews:11:30 @ By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they had been encircled for seven days.

rsv@Hebrews:11:35 @ Women received their dead by resurrection. Some were tortured, refusing to accept release, that they might rise again to a better life.

rsv@Hebrews:11:40 @ since God had foreseen something better for us, that apart from us they should not be made perfect.

rsv@Hebrews:12:1 @ Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us,

rsv@Hebrews:12:2 @ looking to Jesus the pioneer and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.

rsv@Hebrews:12:9 @ Besides this, we have had earthly fathers to discipline us and we respected them. Shall we not much more be subject to the Father of spirits and live?

rsv@Hebrews:12:11 @ For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant; later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.

rsv@Hebrews:13:22 @ I appeal to you, brethren, bear with my word of exhortation, for I have written to you briefly.

rsv@Hebrews:13:23 @ You should understand that our brother Timothy has been released, with whom I shall see you if he comes soon.

rsv@Hebrews:13:25 @ Grace be with all of you. Amen.

rsv@James:1:1 @ James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tri bes in the Dispersion: Greeting.

rsv@James:1:4 @ And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

rsv@James:1:5 @ If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives to all men generously and without reproaching, and it will be given him.

rsv@James:1:10 @ and the rich in his humiliation, because like the flower of the grass he will pass away.

rsv@James:1:11 @ For the sun rises with its scorching heat and withers the grass; its flower falls, and its beauty perishes. So will the rich man fade away in the midst of his pursuits.

rsv@James:1:13 @ Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted with evil and he himself tempts no one;

rsv@James:1:16 @ Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren.

rsv@James:1:18 @ Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.

rsv@James:1:19 @ Know this, my beloved brethren. Let every man be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger,

rsv@James:1:22 @ But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.

rsv@James:1:25 @ But he who looks into the perfect law, the law of li berty, and perseveres, being no hearer that forgets but a doer that acts, he shall be blessed in his doing.

rsv@James:1:27 @ Religion that is pure and undefiled before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.

rsv@James:2:4 @ have you not made distinctions among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?

rsv@James:2:5 @ Listen, my beloved brethren. Has not God chosen those who are poor in the world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which he has promised to those who love him?

rsv@James:2:10 @ For whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point has become guilty of all of it.

rsv@James:2:11 @ For he who said, "Do not commit adultery," said also, "Do not kill." If you do not commit adultery but do kill, you have become a transgressor of the law.

rsv@James:2:12 @ So speak and so act as those who are to be judged under the law of li berty.

rsv@James:2:16 @ and one of you says to them, "Go in peace, be warmed and filled," without giving them the things needed for the body, what does it profit?

rsv@James:2:19 @ You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe--and shudder.

rsv@James:2:20 @ Do you want to be shown, you shallow man, that faith apart from works is barren?

rsv@James:2:23 @ and the scripture was fulfilled which says, "Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness"; and he was called the friend of God.

rsv@James:3:1 @ Let not many of you become teachers, my brethren, for you know that we who teach shall be judged with greater strictness.

rsv@James:3:3 @ If we put bits into the mouths of horses that they may o bey us, we guide their whole bodies.

rsv@James:3:5 @ So the tongue is a little mem ber and boasts of great things. How great a forest is set ablaze by a small fire!

rsv@James:3:6 @ And the tongue is a fire. The tongue is an unrighteous world among our mem bers, staining the whole body, setting on fire the cycle of nature, and set on fire by hell.

rsv@James:3:7 @ For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and sea creature, can be tamed and has been tamed by humankind,

rsv@James:3:8 @ but no human being can tame the tongue--a restless evil, full of deadly poison.

rsv@James:3:10 @ From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brethren, this ought not to be so.

rsv@James:3:14 @ But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth.

rsv@James:3:16 @ For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice.

rsv@James:4:1 @ What causes wars, and what causes fightings among you? Is it not your passions that are at war in your mem bers?

rsv@James:4:2 @ You desire and do not have; so you kill. And you covet and cannot obtain; so you fight and wage war. You do not have, because you do not ask.

rsv@James:4:3 @ You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions.

rsv@James:4:4 @ Unfaithful creatures! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

rsv@James:4:9 @ Be wretched and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to dejection.

rsv@James:4:10 @ Humble yourselves before the Lord and he will exalt you.

rsv@James:5:3 @ Your gold and silver have rusted, and their rust will be evidence against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up treasure for the last days.

rsv@James:5:4 @ Behold, the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, cry out; and the cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts.

rsv@James:5:7 @ Be patient, therefore, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient over it until it receives the early and the late rain.

rsv@James:5:8 @ You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.

rsv@James:5:9 @ Do not grumble, brethren, against one another, that you may not be judged; behold, the Judge is standing at the doors.

rsv@James:5:11 @ Behold, we call those happy who were steadfast. You have heard of the steadfastness of Job, and you have seen the purpose of the Lord, how the Lord is compassionate and merciful.

rsv@James:5:12 @ But above all, my brethren, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or with any other oath, but let your yes be yes and your no be no, that you may not fall under condemnation.

rsv@James:5:15 @ and the prayer of faith will save the sick man, and the Lord will raise him up; and if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.

rsv@James:5:16 @ Therefore confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man has great power in its effects.

rsv@1Peter:1:2 @ chosen and destined by God the Father and sanctified by the Spirit for o bedience to Jesus Christ and for sprinkling with his blood: May grace and peace be multiplied to you.

rsv@1Peter:1:3 @ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! By his great mercy we have been born anew to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

rsv@1Peter:1:5 @ who by God's power are guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

rsv@1Peter:1:8 @ Without having seen him you love him; though you do not now see him you believe in him and rejoice with unutterable and exalted joy.

rsv@1Peter:1:10 @ The prophets who prophesied of the grace that was to be yours searched and inquired about this salvation;

rsv@1Peter:1:12 @ It was revealed to them that they were serving not themselves but you, in the things which have now been announced to you by those who preached the good news to you through the Holy Spirit sent from heaven, things into which angels long to look.

rsv@1Peter:1:13 @ Therefore gird up your minds, be so ber, set your hope fully upon the grace that is coming to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

rsv@1Peter:1:14 @ As o bedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance,

rsv@1Peter:1:15 @ but as he who called you is holy, be holy yourselves in all your conduct;

rsv@1Peter:1:16 @ since it is written, "You shall be holy, for I am holy."

rsv@1Peter:1:20 @ He was destined before the foundation of the world but was made manifest at the end of the times for your sake.

rsv@1Peter:1:22 @ Having purified your souls by your o bedience to the truth for a sincere love of the brethren, love one another earnestly from the heart.

rsv@1Peter:1:23 @ You have been born anew, not of perishable seed but of imperishable, through the living and abiding word of God;

rsv@1Peter:2:2 @ Like newborn ba bes, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up to salvation;

rsv@1Peter:2:5 @ and like living stones be yourselves built into a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

rsv@1Peter:2:6 @ For it stands in scripture: " Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a cornerstone chosen and precious, and he who believes in him will not be put to shame."

rsv@1Peter:2:7 @ To you therefore who believe, he is precious, but for those who do not believe, "The very stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner,"

rsv@1Peter:2:8 @ and "A stone that will make men stumble, a rock that will make them fall"; for they stumble because they diso bey the word, as they were destined to do.

rsv@1Peter:2:11 @ Beloved, I beseech you as aliens and exiles to abstain from the passions of the flesh that wage war against your soul.

rsv@1Peter:2:13 @ Be subject for the Lord's sake to every human institution, whether it be to the emperor as supreme,

rsv@1Peter:2:18 @ Servants, be submissive to your masters with all respect, not only to the kind and gentle but also to the over bearing.

rsv@1Peter:2:20 @ For what credit is it, if when you do wrong and are beaten for it you take it patiently? But if when you do right and suffer for it you take it patiently, you have God's approval.

rsv@1Peter:2:21 @ For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps.

rsv@1Peter:2:24 @ He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed.

rsv@1Peter:3:1 @ Likewise you wives, be submissive to your husbands, so that some, though they do not o bey the word, may be won without a word by the behavior of their wives,

rsv@1Peter:3:2 @ when they see your reverent and chaste behavior.

rsv@1Peter:3:3 @ Let not yours be the outward adorning with braiding of hair, decoration of gold, and wearing of fine clothing,

rsv@1Peter:3:4 @ but let it be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable jewel of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious.

rsv@1Peter:3:6 @ as Sarah o beyed Abraham, calling him lord. And you are now her children if you do right and let nothing terrify you.

rsv@1Peter:3:7 @ Likewise you husbands, live considerately with your wives, bestowing honor on the woman as the weaker sex, since you are joint heirs of the grace of life, in order that your prayers may not be hindered.

rsv@1Peter:3:9 @ Do not return evil for evil or reviling for reviling; but on the contrary bless, for to this you have been called, that you may obtain a blessing.

rsv@1Peter:3:14 @ But even if you do suffer for righteousness' sake, you will be blessed. Have no fear of them, nor be troubled,

rsv@1Peter:3:15 @ but in your hearts reverence Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to make a defense to any one who calls you to account for the hope that is in you, yet do it with gentleness and reverence;

rsv@1Peter:3:16 @ and keep your conscience clear, so that, when you are abused, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame.

rsv@1Peter:3:17 @ For it is better to suffer for doing right, if that should be God's will, than for doing wrong.

rsv@1Peter:3:18 @ For Christ also died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit;

rsv@1Peter:3:20 @ who formerly did not o bey, when God's patience waited in the days of Noah, during the building of the ark, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were saved through water.

rsv@1Peter:4:7 @ The end of all things is at hand; therefore keep sane and so ber for your prayers.

rsv@1Peter:4:11 @ whoever speaks, as one who utters oracles of God; whoever renders service, as one who renders it by the strength which God supplies; in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

rsv@1Peter:4:12 @ Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal which comes upon you to prove you, as though something strange were happening to you.

rsv@1Peter:4:13 @ But rejoice in so far as you share Christ's sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed.

rsv@1Peter:4:14 @ If you are reproached for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the spirit of glory and of God rests upon you.

rsv@1Peter:4:16 @ yet if one suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but under that name let him glorify God.

rsv@1Peter:4:17 @ For the time has come for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins with us, what will be the end of those who do not o bey the gospel of God?

rsv@1Peter:5:1 @ So I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ as well as a partaker in the glory that is to be revealed.

rsv@1Peter:5:3 @ not as domineering over those in your charge but being examples to the flock.

rsv@1Peter:5:5 @ Likewise you that are younger be subject to the elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for "God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble."

rsv@1Peter:5:8 @ Be so ber, be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking some one to devour.

rsv@1Peter:5:11 @ To him be the dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

rsv@2Peter:1:2 @ May grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.

rsv@2Peter:1:4 @ by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, that through these you may escape from the corruption that is in the world because of passion, and become partakers of the divine nature.

rsv@2Peter:1:8 @ For if these things are yours and abound, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

rsv@2Peter:1:10 @ Therefore, brethren, be the more zealous to confirm your call and election, for if you do this you will never fall;

rsv@2Peter:1:11 @ so there will be richly provided for you an entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

rsv@2Peter:1:14 @ since I know that the putting off of my body will be soon, as our Lord Jesus Christ showed me.

rsv@2Peter:1:15 @ And I will see to it that after my departure you may be able at any time to recall these things.

rsv@2Peter:1:17 @ For when he received honor and glory from God the Father and the voice was borne to him by the Majestic Glory, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased,"

rsv@2Peter:1:21 @ because no prophecy ever came by the impulse of man, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.

rsv@2Peter:2:1 @ But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction.

rsv@2Peter:2:2 @ And many will follow their licentiousness, and because of them the way of truth will be reviled.

rsv@2Peter:2:3 @ And in their greed they will exploit you with false words; from of old their condemnation has not been idle, and their destruction has not been asleep.

rsv@2Peter:2:4 @ For if God did not spare the angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell and committed them to pits of nether gloom to be kept until the judgment;

rsv@2Peter:2:6 @ if by turning the cities of Sodom and Gomor'rah to ashes he condemned them to extinction and made them an example to those who were to be ungodly;

rsv@2Peter:2:11 @ whereas angels, though greater in might and power, do not pronounce a reviling judgment upon them before the Lord.

rsv@2Peter:2:12 @ But these, like irrational animals, creatures of instinct, born to be caught and killed, reviling in matters of which they are ignorant, will be destroyed in the same destruction with them,

rsv@2Peter:2:15 @ Forsaking the right way they have gone astray; they have followed the way of Balaam, the son of Be'or, who loved gain from wrongdoing,

rsv@2Peter:2:17 @ These are waterless springs and mists driven by a storm; for them the nether gloom of darkness has been reserved.

rsv@2Peter:2:20 @ For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world through the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overpowered, the last state has become worse for them than the first.

rsv@2Peter:2:21 @ For it would have been better for them never to have known the way of righteousness than after knowing it to turn back from the holy commandment delivered to them.

rsv@2Peter:3:1 @ This is now the second letter that I have written to you, beloved, and in both of them I have aroused your sincere mind by way of reminder;

rsv@2Peter:3:2 @ that you should remem ber the predictions of the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior through your apostles.

rsv@2Peter:3:4 @ and saying, "Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things have continued as they were from the beginning of creation."

rsv@2Peter:3:5 @ They deli berately ignore this fact, that by the word of God heavens existed long ago, and an earth formed out of water and by means of water,

rsv@2Peter:3:7 @ But by the same word the heavens and earth that now exist have been stored up for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.

rsv@2Peter:3:8 @ But do not ignore this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

rsv@2Peter:3:9 @ The Lord is not slow about his promise as some count slowness, but is for bearing toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.

rsv@2Peter:3:10 @ But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a loud noise, and the elements will be dissolved with fire, and the earth and the works that are upon it will be burned up.

rsv@2Peter:3:11 @ Since all these things are thus to be dissolved, what sort of persons ought you to be in lives of holiness and godliness,

rsv@2Peter:3:12 @ waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be kindled and dissolved, and the elements will melt with fire!

rsv@2Peter:3:14 @ Therefore, beloved, since you wait for these, be zealous to be found by him without spot or blemish, and at peace.

rsv@2Peter:3:15 @ And count the for bearance of our Lord as salvation. So also our beloved brother Paul wrote to you according to the wisdom given him,

rsv@2Peter:3:17 @ You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, beware lest you be carried away with the error of lawless men and lose your own stability.

rsv@2Peter:3:18 @ But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.

rsv@1John:1:1 @ That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon and touched with our hands, concerning the word of life--

rsv@1John:1:4 @ And we are writing this that our joy may be complete.

rsv@1John:2:3 @ And by this we may be sure that we know him, if we keep his commandments.

rsv@1John:2:4 @ He who says "I know him" but diso beys his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him;

rsv@1John:2:5 @ but whoever keeps his word, in him truly love for God is perfected. By this we may be sure that we are in him:

rsv@1John:2:7 @ Beloved, I am writing you no new commandment, but an old commandment which you had from the beginning; the old commandment is the word which you have heard.

rsv@1John:2:8 @ Yet I am writing you a new commandment, which is true in him and in you, because the darkness is passing away and the true light is already shining.

rsv@1John:2:11 @ But he who hates his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

rsv@1John:2:12 @ I am writing to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven for his sake.

rsv@1John:2:13 @ I am writing to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I write to you, children, because you know the Father.

rsv@1John:2:14 @ I write to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the evil one.

rsv@1John:2:19 @ They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out, that it might be plain that they all are not of us.

rsv@1John:2:20 @ But you have been anointed by the Holy One, and you all know.

rsv@1John:2:21 @ I write to you, not because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and know that no lie is of the truth.

rsv@1John:2:24 @ Let what you heard from the beginning abide in you. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, then you will abide in the Son and in the Father.

rsv@1John:2:29 @ If you know that he is righteous, you may be sure that every one who does right is born of him.

rsv@1John:3:1 @ See what love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him.

rsv@1John:3:2 @ Beloved, we are God's children now; it does not yet appear what we shall be, but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.

rsv@1John:3:8 @ He who commits sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil.

rsv@1John:3:9 @ No one born of God commits sin; for God's nature abides in him, and he cannot sin because he is born of God.

rsv@1John:3:10 @ By this it may be seen who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not do right is not of God, nor he who does not love his brother.

rsv@1John:3:11 @ For this is the message which you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another,

rsv@1John:3:12 @ and not be like Cain who was of the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own deeds were evil and his brother's righteous.

rsv@1John:3:14 @ We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love abides in death.

rsv@1John:3:19 @ By this we shall know that we are of the truth, and reassure our hearts before him

rsv@1John:3:21 @ Beloved, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God;

rsv@1John:3:22 @ and we receive from him whatever we ask, because we keep his commandments and do what pleases him.

rsv@1John:3:23 @ And this is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he has commanded us.

rsv@1John:4:1 @ Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are of God; for many false prophets have gone out into the world.

rsv@1John:4:7 @ Beloved, let us love one another; for love is of God, and he who loves is born of God and knows God.

rsv@1John:4:10 @ In this is love, not that we loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the expiation for our sins.

rsv@1John:4:11 @ Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

rsv@1John:4:13 @ By this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has given us of his own Spirit.

rsv@1John:4:16 @ So we know and believe the love God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.

rsv@1John:4:17 @ In this is love perfected with us, that we may have confidence for the day of judgment, because as he is so are we in this world.

rsv@1John:4:19 @ We love, because he first loved us.

rsv@1John:5:1 @ Every one who believes that Jesus is the Christ is a child of God, and every one who loves the parent loves the child.

rsv@1John:5:2 @ By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and o bey his commandments.

rsv@1John:5:5 @ Who is it that overcomes the world but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

rsv@1John:5:7 @ And the Spirit is the witness, because the Spirit is the truth.

rsv@1John:5:10 @ He who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. He who does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has borne to his Son.

rsv@1John:5:13 @ I write this to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life.

rsv@2John:1:2 @ because of the truth which abides in us and will be with us for ever:

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

rsv@2John:1:4 @ I rejoiced greatly to find some of your children following the truth, just as we have been commanded by the Father.

rsv@2John:1:5 @ And now I beg you, lady, not as though I were writing you a new commandment, but the one we have had from the beginning, that we love one another.

rsv@2John:1:6 @ And this is love, that we follow his commandments; this is the commandment, as you have heard from the beginning, that you follow love.

rsv@2John:1:12 @ Though I have much to write to you, I would rather not use paper and ink, but I hope to come to see you and talk with you face to face, so that our joy may be complete.

rsv@3John:1:1 @ The elder to the beloved Ga'ius, whom I love in the truth.

rsv@3John:1:2 @ Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in health; I know that it is well with your soul.

rsv@3John:1:5 @ Beloved, it is a loyal thing you do when you render any service to the brethren, especially to strangers,

rsv@3John:1:6 @ who have testified to your love before the church. You will do well to send them on their journey as befits God's service.

rsv@3John:1:8 @ So we ought to support such men, that we may be fellow workers in the truth.

rsv@3John:1:11 @ Beloved, do not imitate evil but imitate good. He who does good is of God; he who does evil has not seen God.

rsv@3John:1:14 @ I hope to see you soon, and we will talk together face to face. [ (III John strkjv@1:15) Peace be to you. The friends greet you. Greet the friends, every one of them. ]

rsv@Jude:1:1 @ Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ and brother of James, To those who are called, beloved in God the Father and kept for Jesus Christ:

rsv@Jude:1:2 @ May mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you.

rsv@Jude:1:3 @ Beloved, being very eager to write to you of our common salvation, I found it necessary to write appealing to you to contend for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints.

rsv@Jude:1:4 @ For admission has been secretly gained by some who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly persons who pervert the grace of our God into licentiousness and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.

rsv@Jude:1:5 @ Now I desire to remind you, though you were once for all fully informed, that he who saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe.

rsv@Jude:1:6 @ And the angels that did not keep their own position but left their proper dwelling have been kept by him in eternal chains in the nether gloom until the judgment of the great day;

rsv@Jude:1:11 @ Woe to them! For they walk in the way of Cain, and abandon themselves for the sake of gain to Balaam's error, and perish in Korah's re bellion.

rsv@Jude:1:13 @ wild waves of the sea, casting up the foam of their own shame; wandering stars for whom the nether gloom of darkness has been reserved for ever.

rsv@Jude:1:14 @ It was of these also that Enoch in the seventh generation from Adam prophesied, saying, " Behold, the Lord came with his holy myriads,

rsv@Jude:1:17 @ But you must remem ber, beloved, the predictions of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;

rsv@Jude:1:18 @ they said to you, "In the last time there will be scoffers, following their own ungodly passions."

rsv@Revelation:10:9 @ So I went to the angel and told him to give me the little scroll; and he said to me, "Take it and eat; it will be bitter to your stomach, but sweet as honey in your mouth."

rsv@Revelation:11:4 @ These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands which stand before the Lord of the earth.

rsv@Revelation:11:5 @ And if any one would harm them, fire pours out from their mouth and consumes their foes; if any one would harm them, thus he is doomed to be killed.

rsv@Revelation:11:7 @ And when they have finished their testimony, the beast that ascends from the bottomless pit will make war upon them and conquer them and kill them,

rsv@Revelation:11:9 @ For three days and a half men from the peoples and tri bes and tongues and nations gaze at their dead bodies and refuse to let them be placed in a tomb,

rsv@Revelation:11:10 @ and those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them and make merry and exchange presents, because these two prophets had been a torment to those who dwell on the earth.

rsv@Revelation:11:14 @ The second woe has passed; behold, the third woe is soon to come.

rsv@Revelation:11:15 @ Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, "The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he shall reign for ever and ever."

rsv@Revelation:11:16 @ And the twenty-four elders who sit on their thrones before God fell on their faces and worshiped God,

rsv@Revelation:12:3 @ And another portent appeared in heaven; behold, a great red dragon, with seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems upon his heads.

rsv@Revelation:12:4 @ His tail swept down a third of the stars of heaven, and cast them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to bear a child, that he might devour her child when she brought it forth;

rsv@Revelation:12:6 @ and the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, in which to be nourished for one thousand two hundred and sixty days.

rsv@Revelation:12:10 @ And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, "Now the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren has been thrown down, who accuses them day and night before our God.

rsv@Revelation:12:12 @ Rejoice then, O heaven and you that dwell therein! But woe to you, O earth and sea, for the devil has come down to you in great wrath, because he knows that his time is short!"

rsv@Revelation:12:13 @ And when the dragon saw that he had been thrown down to the earth, he pursued the woman who had borne the male child.

rsv@Revelation:12:14 @ But the woman was given the two wings of the great eagle that she might fly from the serpent into the wilderness, to the place where she is to be nourished for a time, and times, and half a time.

rsv@Revelation:12:17 @ Then the dragon was angry with the woman, and went off to make war on the rest of her offspring, on those who keep the commandments of God and bear testimony to Jesus. And he stood on the sand of the sea.

rsv@Revelation:13:1 @ And I saw a beast rising out of the sea, with ten horns and seven heads, with ten diadems upon its horns and a blasphemous name upon its heads.

rsv@Revelation:13:2 @ And the beast that I saw was like a leopard, its feet were like a bear's, and its mouth was like a lion's mouth. And to it the dragon gave his power and his throne and great authority.

rsv@Revelation:13:3 @ One of its heads seemed to have a mortal wound, but its mortal wound was healed, and the whole earth followed the beast with wonder.

rsv@Revelation:13:4 @ Men worshiped the dragon, for he had given his authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, "Who is like the beast, and who can fight against it?"

rsv@Revelation:13:5 @ And the beast was given a mouth uttering haughty and blasphemous words, and it was allowed to exercise authority for forty-two months;

rsv@Revelation:13:7 @ Also it was allowed to make war on the saints and to conquer them. And authority was given it over every tri be and people and tongue and nation,

rsv@Revelation:13:8 @ and all who dwell on earth will worship it, every one whose name has not been written before the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb that was slain.

rsv@Revelation:13:10 @ If any one is to be taken captive, to captivity he goes; if any one slays with the sword, with the sword must he be slain. Here is a call for the endurance and faith of the saints.

rsv@Revelation:13:11 @ Then I saw another beast which rose out of the earth; it had two horns like a lamb and it spoke like a dragon.

rsv@Revelation:13:12 @ It exercises all the authority of the first beast in its presence, and makes the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose mortal wound was healed.

rsv@Revelation:13:14 @ and by the signs which it is allowed to work in the presence of the beast, it deceives those who dwell on earth, bidding them make an image for the beast which was wounded by the sword and yet lived;

rsv@Revelation:13:15 @ and it was allowed to give breath to the image of the beast so that the image of the beast should even speak, and to cause those who would not worship the image of the beast to be slain.

rsv@Revelation:13:16 @ Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead,

rsv@Revelation:13:17 @ so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the num ber of its name.

rsv@Revelation:13:18 @ This calls for wisdom: let him who has understanding reckon the num ber of the beast, for it is a human num ber, its num ber is six hundred and sixty-six.

rsv@Revelation:14:3 @ and they sing a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and before the elders. No one could learn that song except the hundred and forty-four thousand who had been redeemed from the earth.

rsv@Revelation:14:4 @ It is these who have not defiled themselves with women, for they are chaste; it is these who follow the Lamb wherever he goes; these have been redeemed from mankind as first fruits for God and the Lamb,

rsv@Revelation:14:6 @ Then I saw another angel flying in midheaven, with an eternal gospel to proclaim to those who dwell on earth, to every nation and tri be and tongue and people;

rsv@Revelation:14:9 @ And another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a loud voice, "If any one worships the beast and its image, and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand,

rsv@Revelation:14:10 @ he also shall drink the wine of God's wrath, poured unmixed into the cup of his anger, and he shall be tormented with fire and sulphur in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb.

rsv@Revelation:15:2 @ And I saw what appeared to be a sea of glass mingled with fire, and those who had conquered the beast and its image and the num ber of its name, standing beside the sea of glass with harps of God in their hands.

rsv@Revelation:15:4 @ Who shall not fear and glorify thy name, O Lord? For thou alone art holy. All nations shall come and worship thee, for thy judgments have been revealed."

rsv@Revelation:15:6 @ and out of the temple came the seven angels with the seven plagues, ro bed in pure bright linen, and their breasts girded with golden girdles.

rsv@Revelation:16:2 @ So the first angel went and poured his bowl on the earth, and foul and evil sores came upon the men who bore the mark of the beast and worshiped its image.

rsv@Revelation:16:3 @ The second angel poured his bowl into the sea, and it became like the blood of a dead man, and every living thing died that was in the sea.

rsv@Revelation:16:4 @ The third angel poured his bowl into the rivers and the fountains of water, and they became blood.

rsv@Revelation:16:10 @ The fifth angel poured his bowl on the throne of the beast, and its kingdom was in darkness; men gnawed their tongues in anguish

rsv@Revelation:16:13 @ And I saw, issuing from the mouth of the dragon and from the mouth of the beast and from the mouth of the false prophet, three foul spirits like frogs;

rsv@Revelation:16:15 @ ("Lo, I am coming like a thief! Blessed is he who is awake, keeping his garments that he may not go naked and be seen exposed!")

rsv@Revelation:16:18 @ And there were flashes of lightning, voices, peals of thunder, and a great earthquake such as had never been since men were on the earth, so great was that earthquake.

rsv@Revelation:16:19 @ The great city was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell, and God remem bered great Babylon, to make her drain the cup of the fury of his wrath.

rsv@Revelation:16:20 @ And every island fled away, and no mountains were to be found;

rsv@Revelation:17:2 @ with whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and with the wine of whose fornication the dwellers on earth have become drunk."

rsv@Revelation:17:3 @ And he carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness, and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast which was full of blasphemous names, and it had seven heads and ten horns.

rsv@Revelation:17:4 @ The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and bedecked with gold and jewels and pearls, holding in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of her fornication;

rsv@Revelation:17:7 @ But the angel said to me, "Why marvel? I will tell you the mystery of the woman, and of the beast with seven heads and ten horns that carries her.

rsv@Revelation:17:11 @ As for the beast that was and is not, it is an eighth but it belongs to the seven, and it goes to perdition.

rsv@Revelation:17:12 @ And the ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have not yet received royal power, but they are to receive authority as kings for one hour, together with the beast.

rsv@Revelation:17:13 @ These are of one mind and give over their power and authority to the beast;

rsv@Revelation:17:16 @ And the ten horns that you saw, they and the beast will hate the harlot; they will make her desolate and naked, and devour her flesh and burn her up with fire,

rsv@Revelation:17:17 @ for God has put it into their hearts to carry out his purpose by being of one mind and giving over their royal power to the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.

rsv@Revelation:18:2 @ And he called out with a mighty voice, "Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great! It has become a dwelling place of demons, a haunt of every foul spirit, a haunt of every foul and hateful bird;

rsv@Revelation:19:20 @ And the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who in its presence had worked the signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped its image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulphur.

Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their testimony to Jesus and for the word of God, and who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands.
