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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

riversident@Matthew:1:19 @ Joseph, her husband, being an upright man, and yet not willing to make her a public example, resolved to dismiss her privately.

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

riversident@Matthew:1:21 @ She will bear a son and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins."

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

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

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

riversident@Matthew:1:25 @ But he did not live with her as a husband until she had borne a son. He called his name Jesus.

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

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

riversident@Matthew:2:3 @ When King Herod heard it, he was disturbed, and so was all Jerusalem.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

riversident@Matthew:2:11 @ They entered the house and saw the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and did him homage. Then they opened their treasures and presented to him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh.

riversident@Matthew:2:12 @ After this they were warned in a dream not to return to Herod, and so went by another mad back to their own country.

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

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

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

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

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

riversident@Matthew:2:18 @ "A voice was heard in Ramah, wailing and bitter lamentation, Rachel weeping for her children, and she would not be comforted because they are not."

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

riversident@Matthew:3:4 @ This John had his clothing of camel's hair and wore a leather belt around his waist, and his food was locusts and wild honey.

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

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

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

riversident@Matthew:3:8 @ Produce fruit fitting for a change of heart,

riversident@Matthew:3:9 @ and do not think of saying to yourselves, 'We have Abraham for our father,' for I tell you God is able out of these stones to raise up children for Abraham.

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

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

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

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

riversident@Matthew:3:14 @ But John opposed him, saying, "I have need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?"

riversident@Matthew:3:15 @ Jesus replied, Then he permitted him.

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

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

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

riversident@Matthew:4:2 @ After he had fasted forty days and forty nights he was hungry.

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

riversident@Matthew:4:4 @ But he answered,

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

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

riversident@Matthew:4:7 @ Jesus said to him,

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

riversident@Matthew:4:9 @ and said to him, "All these things I will give you if you will fall down and do homage to me."

riversident@Matthew:4:10 @ Jesus said to him,

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

riversident@Matthew:4:12 @ When Jesus heard that John had been betrayed, he went away into Galilee.

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

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

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

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

riversident@Matthew:4:17 @ From that time Jesus began to proclaim and say,

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

riversident@Matthew:4:19 @ and he said to them,

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

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

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

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

riversident@Matthew:4:24 @ His fame spread out into all Syria, and they brought to him all who were sick with various diseases and those suffering from acute pain, demoniacs, lunatics, and paralytics, and he healed them.

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

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

riversident@Matthew:5:2 @ He opened his mouth and taught them, saying:

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

riversident@Matthew:7:29 @ For he taught them like one who had authority, and not as their scribes taught.

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

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

riversident@Matthew:8:3 @ Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him and said, Instantly his leprosy was cleansed away.

riversident@Matthew:8:4 @ Jesus said to him,

riversident@Matthew:8:5 @ When Jesus had entered Capernaum there came to him a Centurion who implored his help.

riversident@Matthew:8:6 @ "Sir," he said, "my servant lies in my house a paralytic, in great distress."

riversident@Matthew:8:7 @ Jesus said to him,

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

riversident@Matthew:8:9 @ For I am a man, \'97 under authority, \'97 with soldiers under me, and I say to this one, 'Go,' and he goes, and to another, 'Come,' and he comes, and to my slave, 'Do this,' and he does it."

riversident@Matthew:8:10 @ When Jesus heard this, he was astonished and said,

riversident@Matthew:8:11" />

riversident@Matthew:8:12" />

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

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

riversident@Matthew:8:15 @ He touched her hand and the fever left her. Then she arose and waited upon him.

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

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

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

riversident@Matthew:8:19 @ Then a certain scribe came to him and said, "Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go."

riversident@Matthew:8:20 @ Jesus said to him,

riversident@Matthew:8:21 @ Another of his disciples said to him, "Sir, let me first go and bury my father."

riversident@Matthew:8:22 @ But Jesus said to him,

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

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

riversident@Matthew:8:25 @ His disciples came to him and woke him and said, "Master, save us. We are going down."

riversident@Matthew:8:26 @ But he said, Then he rose and rebuked the winds and the lake, and there was a great calm.

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

riversident@Matthew:8:28 @ When he arrived at the other side, the country of the Gadarenes, there met him two demoniacs coming out of the tombs. They were very fierce, so that no one was able to pass along that road.

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

riversident@Matthew:8:30 @ There was far off from them a herd of many swine feeding.

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

riversident@Matthew:8:32 @ He said to them, So they went out and entered into the swine. Then suddenly the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and died in the waves.

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

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

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

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

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

riversident@Matthew:9:4 @ Jesus knew their thoughts and said,

riversident@Matthew:9:5" />

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

riversident@Matthew:9:7 @ Thereupon he rose and went away to his house.

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

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

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

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

riversident@Matthew:9:12 @ Jesus heard it and said,

riversident@Matthew:9:13" />

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

riversident@Matthew:9:15 @ He said,

riversident@Matthew:9:16" />

riversident@Matthew:9:17" />

riversident@Matthew:9:18 @ While Jesus was talking to them, a synagogue Director came and bowed down before him and said, "My daughter has just died; but come and lay your hand upon her and she will live."

riversident@Matthew:9:19 @ Jesus rose and followed him, and so did his disciples.

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

riversident@Matthew:9:21 @ For she said to herself, "If I touch only his cloak, I shall be healed."

riversident@Matthew:9:22 @ But Jesus turned and, seeing her, said, The woman was cured from that hour.

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

riversident@Matthew:9:24 @ They laughed at him.

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

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

riversident@Matthew:9:27 @ As Jesus was going along from there, two blind men followed him, calling out, "Have pity on us, Son of David."

riversident@Matthew:9:28 @ After he had entered the house, these blind men came to him. Jesus said to them, They said, "Yes, Sir."

riversident@Matthew:9:29 @ Then he touched their eyes and said,

riversident@Matthew:9:30 @ And their eyes were opened. Jesus sternly commanded them,

riversident@Matthew:9:31 @ But they went out and spread his fame through all that country.

riversident@Matthew:9:32 @ As they were going out, a dumb man who was also a demoniac was brought to him.

riversident@Matthew:9:33 @ After the demon had been cast out, the dumb man spoke. The crowd wondered and said, "Never was anything like this seen in Israel."

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

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

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

riversident@Matthew:9:37 @ Then he said to his disciples,

riversident@Matthew:9:38" />

riversident@Matthew:10:1 @ THEN, calling to him his twelve disciples, he gave them authority over impure spirits to cast them out, and power to cure every disease and every infirmity.

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

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

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

riversident@Matthew:10:5 @ These twelve Jesus sent out and directed them:

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

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

riversident@Matthew:12:10 @ A man was there with a withered hand. They asked Jesus, "Is it allowable to heal on the Sabbath?" \'97 so that they might have something to accuse him of.

riversident@Matthew:12:11 @ He said to them,

riversident@Matthew:12:12" />

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

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

riversident@Matthew:12:15 @ But Jesus was aware of it and went away from that place. Many followed him and he healed them all;

riversident@Matthew:12:16 @ but he gave strict orders to them not to make him known.

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

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

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

riversident@Matthew:12:20 @ A bruised reed he will not break, and a low-burning wick he will, not quench, until he has carried justice to victory.

riversident@Matthew:12:21 @ In his name will Gentiles hope."

riversident@Matthew:12:22 @ Then there was brought to Jesus a demoniac, blind and dumb. He healed him so that he spoke and saw.

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

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

riversident@Matthew:13:56 @ And his sisters \'97 are they not all here with us? Where then did he get all this?"

riversident@Matthew:13:57 @ So they fell into mistake about him. But Jesus said to them,

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

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

riversident@Matthew:14:3 @ For Herod had arrested John and had bound him and put him in prison on account of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife.

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

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

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

riversident@Matthew:14:7 @ so that he promised with an oath that he would give her whatever she asked.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

riversident@Matthew:14:16 @ But Jesus said to them,

riversident@Matthew:14:17 @ They said to him, "We have here nothing but five loaves and two fishes."

riversident@Matthew:14:18 @ He said,

riversident@Matthew:14:19 @ Then he commanded the crowd to recline on the grass, and he took the five loaves and the two fishes and looked up to heaven and asked a blessing. Then he broke up the loaves and gave them to his disciples, and the disciples distributed to the crowd.

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

riversident@Matthew:14:21 @ Those who ate were about five thousand men, besides women and children.

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

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

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

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

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

riversident@Matthew:14:27 @ But at once Jesus spoke to them and said,

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

riversident@Matthew:14:29 @ Jesus said, Then Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water and came to Jesus.

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

riversident@Matthew:14:31 @ At once Jesus stretched out his hand and grasped him and said,

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

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

riversident@Matthew:14:34 @ Having crossed, they came to land at Gennesaret.

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

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

riversident@Matthew:15:1 @ THEN scribes and Pharisees came to Jesus from Jerusalem and said,

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

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

riversident@Matthew:15:22 @ Here a Canaanite woman of those parts came out and cried, "Sir, have pity on me, Son of David. My daughter is terribly tormented by a demon."

riversident@Matthew:15:23 @ But he did not answer her a word. Then his disciples came and begged him, saying, "Send her away; she keeps calling out behind us."

riversident@Matthew:15:24 @ He replied,

riversident@Matthew:15:25 @ But she came and bowed before him and said, "Help me, Sir."

riversident@Matthew:15:26 @ He answered,

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

riversident@Matthew:15:28 @ Then Jesus said to her, And her daughter was cured from that hour.

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

riversident@Matthew:15:30 @ Then a great crowd came to him having with them lame men, maimed men, blind men, mutes, and many others, and they laid them at his feet and he healed them.

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

riversident@Matthew:15:32 @ Jesus called his disciples to him and said,

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

riversident@Matthew:15:34 @ Jesus said, They said, "Seven, and a few small fishes."

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

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

riversident@Matthew:15:37 @ All ate and were satisfied, and they picked up seven baskets full of fragments that were left over.

riversident@Matthew:15:38 @ There were four thousand men that ate, besides women and children.

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

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

riversident@Matthew:16:2" />

riversident@Matthew:16:3" />

riversident@Matthew:16:4 @ But he answered, and he left them and went away.

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

riversident@Matthew:16:6 @ and Jesus said to them,

riversident@Matthew:16:7 @ They were discussing this among themselves, saying, "It is because we have brought no bread."

riversident@Matthew:16:8 @ But Jesus, when he knew it, said,

riversident@Matthew:16:9" />

riversident@Matthew:16:10" />

riversident@Matthew:16:11" />

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

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

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

riversident@Matthew:16:15 @ He said to them,

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

riversident@Matthew:16:17 @ Jesus replied,

riversident@Matthew:16:18 @

riversident@Matthew:16:19" />

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

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

riversident@Matthew:16:22 @ Peter took him and began to reprove him, saying, "Please God, Sir; this shall not happen to you."

riversident@Matthew:17:3 @ Then appeared to them Moses and Elijah talking with him.

riversident@Matthew:17:4 @ Peter said to Jesus, "Sir, it is fine for us to be here. If you like, I will make three tents, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah."

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

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

riversident@Matthew:17:7 @ But Jesus came and touched them and said,

riversident@Matthew:17:8 @ When they raised their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus himself alone.

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

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

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

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

riversident@Matthew:17:16 @ I brought him to your disciples and they could not cure him."

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

riversident@Matthew:20:32 @ Jesus stopped and called them and said,

riversident@Matthew:20:33 @ They said, "We want our eyes opened."

riversident@Matthew:20:34 @ Jesus had compassion on them and touched their eyes, and at once they regained sight and followed him.

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

riversident@Matthew:21:2 @ telling them,

riversident@Matthew:21:3" />

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

riversident@Matthew:21:13 @ and he said,

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

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

riversident@Matthew:21:16 @ and said to him, "Do you hear what these are saying?" Jesus said,

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

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

riversident@Matthew:21:19 @ and seeing a solitary fig tree at the roadside he went to it, but found on it nothing but leaves only. He said to it, The fig tree immediately withered up.

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

riversident@Matthew:21:21 @ Jesus said to them,

riversident@Matthew:21:22" />

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

riversident@Matthew:21:24 @ Jesus replied to them,

riversident@Matthew:21:25 @ They debated among themselves, "If we say, 'From heaven,' he will say to us, 'Why then did you not believe him?'

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

riversident@Matthew:21:27 @ So they answered Jesus, "We do not know." He in turn said to them,

riversident@Matthew:21:28" />

riversident@Matthew:21:29" />

riversident@Matthew:21:30" />

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

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

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

riversident@Matthew:22:17 @ Tell us therefore what you think. Is it right to pay taxes to Caesar or not?"

riversident@Matthew:22:18 @ But Jesus knew their wickedness and said,

riversident@Matthew:22:22 @ When they heard this, they wondered and left him and went away.

riversident@Matthew:22:23 @ On that day some Sadducees came to him asserting that there is no resurrection, and they asked him,

riversident@Matthew:22:24 @ "Teacher, Moses said, 'If any man dies childless, his brother shall marry his widow and raise up offspring for his brother.'

riversident@Matthew:22:25 @ Now there were with us seven brothers. The first married and died childless and left his wife to his brother.

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

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

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

riversident@Matthew:26:4 @ and they plotted to seize Jesus by some trick and kill him.

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

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

riversident@Matthew:26:7 @ a woman came up to him, bringing an alabaster jar of costly ointment, and poured it on his head while he was reclining at table.

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

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

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

riversident@Matthew:26:16 @ And from that moment he kept seeking a favorable time to betray him.

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

riversident@Matthew:26:18 @ He answered,

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

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

riversident@Matthew:26:21 @ While they were eating, he said,

riversident@Matthew:26:22 @ Greatly grieved, they began to ask him, each in turn, "It is not I, Master?"

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

riversident@Matthew:26:64 @ Jesus said to him,

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

riversident@Matthew:26:66 @ What do you think?" They answered, "He deserves death."

riversident@Matthew:26:67 @ Then they spit in his face and struck him with their fists. Some slapped him,

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

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

riversident@Matthew:26:73 @ After a little those who were standing there came up and said to Peter, "Truly you are one of them, for your accent proves it."

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

riversident@Matthew:26:75 @ Peter remembered what Jesus had said, and he went out and wept bitterly.

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

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

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

riversident@Matthew:27:4 @ saying, "I sinned in betraying innocent blood!" But they said, "What is that to us? You must see to that."

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

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

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

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

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

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

riversident@Matthew:27:11 @ Jesus stood before the Governor. The Governor asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" Jesus said,

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

riversident@Matthew:27:13 @ Then Pilate said to him, "Do you not hear how many things they are testifying against you?"

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

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

riversident@Matthew:27:16 @ There was at that time a notorious prisoner named Barabbas.

riversident@Matthew:27:17 @ So, when they had gathered, Pilate said to them, "Whom do you want me to release for you, Barabbas or Jesus who is called Christ?"

riversident@Matthew:27:18 @ For he knew that out of jealousy they had handed him over.

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

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

riversident@Matthew:27:21 @ The Governor said to them, "Which of the two do you want me to release for you?" They said, "Barabbas."

riversident@Matthew:27:22 @ Pilate said to them, "What, then, shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?" They all said, "Have him crucified."

riversident@Matthew:27:23 @ He said, "Why, what wrong has he done?" But they kept shouting furiously, "Have him crucified!"

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

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

riversident@Matthew:27:26 @ Then he released Barabbas for them, but scourged Jesus and handed him over to be crucified.

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

riversident@Matthew:27:28 @ They stripped him and put on him a crimson cloak,

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

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

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

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

riversident@Matthew:27:33 @ On coming to a place called Golgotha (note:)that is, Skull Place(:note),

riversident@Matthew:27:34 @ they gave him wine mixed with gall to drink. He tasted it and would not drink it.

riversident@Matthew:27:35 @ When they had crucified him, they divided his clothes by casting lots.

riversident@Matthew:27:36 @ Then they sat and kept watch over him there.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

riversident@Matthew:27:46 @ About three o'clock Jesus cried out with a loud voice, that is,

riversident@Matthew:27:47 @ Some of those who were standing there said, when they heard it, "This man is calling for Elijah."

riversident@Matthew:27:48 @ Immediately one of them took a sponge and filled it with sour wine and put it on a reed and gave him a drink.

riversident@Matthew:27:49 @ The rest said, "Let him alone, let us see whether Elijah comes to save him."

riversident@Matthew:27:50 @ But Jesus, after calling out again with a loud voice, gave up his spirit.

riversident@Matthew:27:51 @ Suddenly the curtain of the Temple was rent in two from top to bottom. The earth quaked. The rocks were split,

riversident@Matthew:27:52 @ and the tombs were opened and many bodies of the sleeping saints arose,

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

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

riversident@Matthew:27:55 @ Looking on from a distance, were many women who had followed Jesus from Galilee, waiting upon him.

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

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

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

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

riversident@Matthew:27:60 @ and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn in the rock. Then he rolled a great stone up to the door of the tomb and went away.

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

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

riversident@Matthew:27:63 @ and said, "Sir, we remember that that deceiver said while he was alive,

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

riversident@Matthew:27:65 @ Pilate said to them, "You may have a guard. Go make it as secure as you know how."

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

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

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

riversident@Matthew:28:3 @ His appearance was like lightning and his raiment white as snow.

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

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

riversident@Matthew:28:6 @ He is not here. He has been raised, as he told you. Come see the place where he lay.

riversident@Matthew:28:7 @ Go quickly and tell his disciples that he has been raised from the dead. He will precede you to Galilee. There you will see him. See, I have told you."

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

riversident@Matthew:28:9 @ Suddenly Jesus met them and said, They came up and clasped his feet and bowed down before him.

riversident@Matthew:28:10 @ Then Jesus said to them,

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

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

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

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

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

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

riversident@Matthew:28:17 @ and they saw him and bowed down before him; but some doubted.

riversident@Matthew:28:18 @ Jesus came to them and talked with them. He said,

riversident@Matthew:28:20" />

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

riversident@Mark:1:6 @ John's clothes were of camel's hair and he had a leather belt around his waist, and he ate locusts and wild honey.

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

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

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

riversident@Mark:1:13 @ And he was in the wild lands forty days, tempted by Satan. There he was among the wild beasts, but angels waited upon him.

riversident@Mark:1:18 @ They immediately left their nets and followed him.

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

riversident@Mark:1:20 @ Immediately he called them. They left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men and followed him away.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

riversident@Mark:2:8 @ Immediately Jesus, perceiving that they were inwardly reasoning in this way, said to them,

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

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

riversident@Mark:2:15 @ Jesus was reclining at table in Levi's house, and many tax collectors and sinners also reclined at table along with Jesus and his disciples, for there were many who followed him.

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

riversident@Mark:2:18 @ The disciples of John as well as the Pharisees were fasting. They came and said to Jesus, "Why is it that the disciples of John and the disciples of the Pharisees are fasting, but your disciples are not fasting?"

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

riversident@Mark:3:10 @ For he healed many, so that all that had diseases crowded around him to touch him.

riversident@Mark:3:12 @ But he ordered them repeatedly and sternly not to make him known.

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

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

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

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

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

riversident@Mark:4:33 @ With many such illustrations he went on talking to them as they were able to listen;

riversident@Mark:4:34 @ but except in figures of speech he did not talk to them. Privately to his own disciples he explained all things.

riversident@Mark:4:35 @ On that day when evening came he said to them,

riversident@Mark:4:36 @ So they left the crowd and took him along just as he was, in the boat. There were also other boats with them.

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

riversident@Mark:4:38 @ But he was in the stern asleep on the cushion. They aroused him and said to him, "Teacher, do you not care that we are sinking?"

riversident@Mark:4:39 @ When he awoke, he rebuked the wind and said to the sea, The wind ceased and there was a great calm.

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

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

riversident@Mark:5:7 @ and shouted with a loud voice, "What have I and you to do with each other, Jesus, Son of God most high? I adjure you by God, not to torment me."

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

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

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

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

riversident@Mark:5:20 @ So he went away and began to make known in Decapolis what great things Jesus had done for him; and all were astonished.

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

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

riversident@Mark:5:23 @ and pleaded with him earnestly, saying, "My little daughter is near to death. I beg you to come and lay your hands on her so that she may be saved and live."

riversident@Mark:5:24 @ Jesus went away with him and a great crowd followed and pressed upon him.

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

riversident@Mark:5:29 @ Immediately the hemorrhage ceased and she knew in her body that she was healed of her affliction.

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

riversident@Mark:5:33 @ Then the woman, afraid and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell before him and told him all the truth.

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

riversident@Mark:5:40 @ But they laughed at him. Then he put them all out and took the child's father and mother and his own companions and went in where the child was.

riversident@Mark:5:42 @ Immediately the little girl rose up and walked around. She was twelve years old. They were utterly amazed.

riversident@Mark:5:43 @ But he strictly ordered that no one should know it, and told them to give her something to eat.

riversident@Mark:6:1 @ LEAVING there, he came to his own native place accompanied by his disciples.

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

riversident@Mark:6:5 @ There he was unable to do any work of power, except that he laid his hands on a few sick people and healed them.

riversident@Mark:6:12 @ They went out and proclaimed that men should repent,

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

riversident@Mark:6:19 @ Herodias hated him and wished to kill him, but was unable to do so,

riversident@Mark:6:20 @ because Herod reverenced John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and he protected him. When Herod heard John, he was much perplexed, and yet he was glad to listen to him.

riversident@Mark:6:22 @ Then the daughter of Herodias came in and danced and pleased Herod and his guests. The King said to the girl, "Ask me for whatever you will and I will give it to you."

riversident@Mark:6:23 @ He swore, "Whatever you ask I will give you, up to the half of my kingdom."

riversident@Mark:6:24 @ The girl went out and said to her mother, "What shall I ask?" She replied, "The head of John the Baptizer."

riversident@Mark:6:25 @ The girl immediately hurried in and said to the King, "I choose to have you give me right now the head of John the Baptizer on a platter."

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

riversident@Mark:6:27 @ So he immediately sent one of the guardsmen with orders to bring John's head. The soldier went and beheaded him in the prison

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

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

riversident@Mark:6:31 @ He said to them, For there were many people coming and going, and they had no time even to eat.

riversident@Mark:6:32 @ So they put off in a boat for an uninhabited, solitary place.

riversident@Mark:6:34 @ When Jesus landed, he saw a great crowd, and he was filled with compassion for them because they were like sheep without a shepherd, and he began and taught them many things.

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

riversident@Mark:6:36 @ Send them away so that they can go to the farms and villages around and buy themselves something to eat."

riversident@Mark:6:42 @ All ate and had abundance,

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

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

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

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

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

riversident@Mark:6:50 @ For they all saw him and were frightened. But he immediately spoke to them and said,

riversident@Mark:6:51 @ Then he got into the boat with them and the wind dropped. They were in boundless amazement;

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

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

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

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

riversident@Mark:7:2 @ and they saw that some of his disciples were eating bread with "common," that is, unwashed, hands.

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

riversident@Mark:7:4 @ and when they return from market they do not eat until they have washed. There are also many other traditions which they have been taught to hold tenaciously, such as washing cups and pitchers and copper vessels.

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

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

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

riversident@Mark:7:25 @ At once a woman whose daughter was afflicted by an impure spirit heard about him, and she came and fell at his feet.

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

riversident@Mark:7:34 @ Then looking up to heaven, he sighed and said, that is,,

riversident@Mark:7:35 @ and his ears were opened, and immediately his tongue was freed and he talked plainly.

riversident@Mark:8:1 @ IN those days, when there was again a large crowd and they had nothing to eat, Jesus called together his disciples and said to them,

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

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

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

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

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

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

riversident@Mark:9:2 @ Six days later, Jesus took Peter and James and John and led them up a high mountain. They were all alone. There in their presence he became transfigured.

riversident@Mark:9:3 @ His clothes became dazzlingly white, with a whiteness that no bleacher on earth can impart.

riversident@Mark:9:6 @ For he did not know what to say, they were so frightened.

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

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

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

riversident@Mark:9:14 @ When they came to his disciples, they saw a great crowd around them and scribes debating with them.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

riversident@Mark:9:26 @ He screamed and convulsed the boy and came out. The boy looked like a corpse, so that most of them said, "He is dead."

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

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

riversident@Mark:9:32 @ But they did not understand what he said and were afraid to question him.

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

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

riversident@Mark:10:2 @ Some Pharisees came up and asked him, "Is it right for a man to divorce his wife?" They meant to catch him.

riversident@Mark:10:4 @ They said, "Moses permitted a husband to give a certificate of divorce and send his wife away."

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

riversident@Mark:10:21 @ Jesus looking at him loved him and said to him,

riversident@Mark:10:22 @ But his face darkened at that reply, and he went away grieved, for he had great possessions.

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

riversident@Mark:10:27 @ Jesus looked at them and said,

riversident@Mark:10:32 @ They were on the road going up to Jerusalem and Jesus was walking in advance. Astonishment fell on them, and those who were following were fearful. Then again he took aside the twelve and began and told them what was going to happen to him.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

riversident@Mark:11:28 @ and said, "By what authority do you do these things? Or who gave you authority to do them?"

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

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

riversident@Mark:12:17 @ Jesus said to them, They were astonished at him.

riversident@Mark:12:18 @ Then there came to him some Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection. They asked him,

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

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

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

riversident@Mark:12:34 @ Jesus, seeing that he had answered with intelligence, said to him, After that no one dared question him further.

riversident@Mark:12:37 @ A great crowd listened to him with delight.

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

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

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

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

riversident@Mark:14:1 @ THE Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread were to come after two days. The high priests and the scribes were contriving how they might seize him by some stratagem and kill him.

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

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

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

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

riversident@Mark:14:11 @ They were glad to hear it and promised to give him money. He meanwhile was contriving how he could betray him at some favorable time.

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

riversident@Mark:14:18 @ As they were reclining and eating, he said,

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

riversident@Mark:14:40 @ Again he returned and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy. They did not know what to answer him.

riversident@Mark:14:43 @ Immediately, even while he was speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, was there and with him a crowd with swords and clubs. They had been sent by the high priests and the scribes and the elders.

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

riversident@Mark:14:45 @ So when he came, he immediately advanced to Jesus and said, "Rabbi," and kissed him affectionately.

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

riversident@Mark:14:64 @ You have heard his impious words. How does it appear to you?" They all condemned him as deserving of death.

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

riversident@Mark:15:4 @ Pilate again asked him, "Have you no answer? See how many charges they are making against you."

riversident@Mark:15:5 @ But Jesus no longer answered anything, so that Pilate wondered.

riversident@Mark:15:6 @ It was customary that at every feast he should release some one prisoner at their request.

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

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

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

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

riversident@Mark:15:14 @ But Pilate said to them, "What has he done that was wrong?" But they shouted violently, "Crucify him!"

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

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

riversident@Mark:15:24 @ Then they crucified him. They divided his clothes, casting lots what part each should take.

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

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

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

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

riversident@Luke:1:29 @ But she was alarmed at his words, and wondered what such a greeting could mean.

riversident@Luke:1:32 @ He will be great and will be called the Son of the Highest, and the Lord God will give him the throne of his father David.

riversident@Luke:5:2 @ and he saw two boats by the shore. The fishermen had gone away from them and were washing their nets.

riversident@Luke:5:3 @ He got into one of the boats, which belonged to Simon, and asked him to push off a little from the land. Then, sitting down, he taught the people from the boat.

riversident@Luke:5:6 @ When they had done this, they enclosed a great mass of fishes and their nets began to break.

riversident@Luke:9:46 @ A dispute started among them as to which of them was greatest.

riversident@Luke:9:47 @ Jesus knew the question that was in their minds, and he took a little child and stood him beside himself.

riversident@Luke:9:59 @ He said to another, But he said, "Let me first go and bury my father."

riversident@Luke:9:61 @ Another said, "I will follow you, Sir, but first let me say good-bye to those at my home."

riversident@Luke:10:21 @ At that hour in exultant joy through the Holy Sprit he said,

riversident@Luke:10:23 @ Turning to his disciples, he said privately,

riversident@Luke:10:25 @ Then a certain lawyer stood up to test him, and said, "Teacher, what must I do to inherit life eternal?"

riversident@Luke:10:39 @ She had a sister called Mary who seated herself at the feet of the Master and was listening to his words.

riversident@Luke:10:40 @ But Martha was busy and worried over a great deal of service. Coming to him she said, "Master, do you not care that my sister has left me to do the work alone? Tell her to take hold with me."

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

riversident@Luke:11:37 @ During his talk a Pharisee kept asking him to dine with him. He went in and reclined at table.

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

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

riversident@Luke:11:54 @ laying traps to catch something from his mouth.

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

riversident@Luke:12:16 @ He gave them an illustration, saying,

riversident@Luke:12:41 @ Peter said, "Master, do you intend this illustration for us or for all?"

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

riversident@Luke:13:6 @ He gave this illustration:

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

riversident@Luke:13:13 @ and he laid his hands on her. Immediately she was straightened and gave glory to God.

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

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

riversident@Luke:13:23 @ A man said to him, "Master, are there few that are saved?" He said to them,

riversident@Luke:13:31 @ At that time there came to him some Pharisees, saying, "Go out and leave this place, for Herod purposes to kill you."

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

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

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

riversident@Luke:14:25 @ Great crowds were traveling along with him, and he turned and said to them,

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

riversident@Luke:15:3 @ He gave them this illustration:

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

riversident@Luke:17:11 @ It happened that on his journey toward Jerusalem he was going through Samaria and Galilee.

riversident@Luke:17:12 @ As he was approaching a certain village, ten leprous men met him. They stood at a distance,

riversident@Luke:17:15 @ One of them, seeing that he had been cured, turned back with a loud shout giving glory to God,

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

riversident@Luke:18:1 @ HE gave them an illustration that they ought always to pray and not to lose courage.

riversident@Luke:18:9 @ He gave also this illustration to some who trusted in themselves as being righteous and despised others:

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

riversident@Luke:18:22 @ On hearing that, Jesus said to him,

riversident@Luke:18:24 @ Jesus looked at him and said,

riversident@Luke:18:34 @ But they understood none of these things, and what he said was hidden from them. They did not grasp the meaning of his words.

riversident@Luke:18:36 @ Hearing a crowd passing, he inquired what this was.

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

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

riversident@Luke:19:4 @ So running ahead he climbed up into a mulberry tree to see him, for he was going to pass that way.

riversident@Luke:19:7 @ All who saw it grumbled, saying that Jesus was going in to stay with a sinner.

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

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

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

riversident@Luke:20:2 @ and said to him, "Tell us by what authority you are doing these things or who it is that gave you this authority."

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

riversident@Luke:20:7 @ So they answered that they did not know where it came from.

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

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

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

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

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

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

riversident@Luke:20:28 @ "Teacher, Moses wrote for us, 'If any one's married brother dies childless, that man must marry his brother's widow and raise up offspring for his brother.'

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

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

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

riversident@Luke:21:29 @ He gave them an illustration:

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

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

riversident@Luke:22:33 @ Peter said to him, "Master, I am ready to go with you to prison and to death."

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

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

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

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

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

riversident@Luke:22:59 @ About an hour later, another man asserted positively, "Truly this man was with him too, for he is a Galilaean."

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

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

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

riversident@Luke:22:64 @ and, after blindfolding him, they asked him, "Prophesy who it is that struck you."

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

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

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

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

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

riversident@Luke:23:7 @ and when he learned that he was of Herod's jurisdiction he sent him to Herod, who was himself also in Jerusalem during those days.

riversident@Luke:23:11 @ Herod along with his soldiers treated him with contempt and after making sport of him and putting a gorgeous robe on him, sent him back to Pilate.

riversident@Luke:23:12 @ So Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that day. Previously they had been at enmity.

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

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

riversident@Luke:23:15 @ No more has Herod; for he has sent him back to us. See, nothing deserving of death has been done by him.

riversident@Luke:23:20 @ Again Pilate spoke to them, wishing to release Jesus.

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

riversident@Luke:23:24 @ So Pilate gave sentence that what they asked should be done.

riversident@Luke:23:27 @ There followed him a great crowd of people and of women who were beating their breasts and bewailing him.

riversident@Luke:23:32 @ There were also two others, criminals, led with him to be put to death.

riversident@Luke:23:35 @ The people stood looking on. The rulers scoffed at him, saying, "He saved others; let him save himself, if he is the Christ of God, the Chosen."

riversident@Luke:23:46 @ Then Jesus said in a loud voice, After saying this, he breathed his last.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

riversident@Luke:24:4 @ While they were at a loss about this, suddenly two men in glittering robes stood beside them.

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

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

riversident@Luke:24:13 @ On that day two of them were going to a village named Emmaus, seven miles distant from Jerusalem,

riversident@Luke:24:15 @ It happened as they talked and discussed that Jesus himself drew near and walked along with them.

riversident@Luke:24:18 @ One of them, named Cleopas, said to him, "Are you a stranger living alone in Jerusalem and do you not know the things that have happened there in recent days?"

riversident@Luke:24:20 @ how our high priests and leading men handed him over to be condemned to death and crucified him.

riversident@Luke:24:21 @ But we were hoping that he was the one who was to redeem Israel. But now, however, the third day is passing since these things took place.

riversident@Luke:24:22 @ Yet some women from our company amazed us. They went at dawn to the tomb

riversident@Luke:24:23 @ and did not find his body, but came back saying that they had seen a vision of angels who said that he was alive.

riversident@Luke:24:30 @ As he reclined at table with them, he took the bread and blessed it and broke it and gave it to them.

riversident@Luke:24:33 @ Then, rising that very hour, they returned to Jerusalem and found the eleven and their associates assembled

riversident@Luke:24:35 @ They then narrated what had happened on the road and how they knew him by his breaking the bread.

riversident@Luke:24:37 @ They were terrified and much alarmed, and thought that they were seeing a spirit.

riversident@Luke:24:43 @ and he took it and ate before them.

riversident@Luke:24:52 @ They bowed down before him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,

riversident@John:1:3 @ All things came into being through him, and apart from him not one thing came into being that has come into being.

riversident@John:1:7 @ He came for testimony, to testify about the Light, that all might believe through him.

riversident@John:1:14 @ The Word became flesh and tented among us, and we looked upon his glory, glory as of an only son from a father, full of grace and truth.

riversident@John:1:18 @ No one has ever seen God; God the only Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he has interpreted him.

riversident@John:1:21 @ They asked him, "What then? Are you Elijah?" He said, "I am not." "Are you the prophet?" He answered, "No."

riversident@John:1:22 @ They said then, "Who are you? Let us have an answer to give to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?"

riversident@John:1:26 @ John answered them, "I baptize with water. In the midst of you stands one whom you do not know \'97

riversident@John:1:31 @ I did not know him, but I knew that he was to be shown to Israel. For that reason I came baptizing with water."

riversident@John:1:33 @ I did not know him, but he who sent me to baptize with water \'97 he said to me, 'He on whom you see the Spirit descending and remaining, that is he who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.'

riversident@John:1:34 @ And I saw it and have borne witness that this is the Son of God."

riversident@John:1:36 @ and, looking at Jesus as he walked, he said, "Behold, the Lamb of God!"

riversident@John:1:38 @ Jesus turned and looked at them as they followed, and said to them, They said to him, "Rabbi (note:)which means, when translated, Teacher(:note), where are you staying?"

riversident@John:1:39 @ He said to them, So they came and saw where he was staying, and stayed with him that day. It was then about four in the afternoon.

riversident@John:1:40 @ Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two that heard about Jesus from John and followed him.

riversident@John:1:41 @ He found first his own brother Simon and said to him, "We have found the Messiah (note:)which means, when translated, the Christ(:note)!"

riversident@John:1:42 @ He led him to Jesus. Looking at him, Jesus said, (note:)which is in Greek, Peter, that is, Rock(:note).

riversident@John:1:45 @ Philip found Nathanael and said to him, "We have found him of whom Moses wrote in the Law and of whom the prophets wrote \'97 Jesus the son of Joseph, from Nazareth."

riversident@John:1:46 @ Nathanael said to him, "From Nazareth can there be anything good?" Philip said to him, "Come and see."

riversident@John:1:47 @ Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and said,

riversident@John:1:48 @ Nathanael said to him, "How do you know me?" Jesus answered him,

riversident@John:1:49 @ Nathanael answered him, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the King of Israel!"

riversident@John:2:5 @ His mother said to the servants, "Whatever he tells you, do it."

riversident@John:2:6 @ There were standing there six stone water jars in accordance with the Jewish custom of purification, holding about twenty or thirty gallons apiece.

riversident@John:2:9 @ and when the Master of the feast tasted the water that had become wine, not knowing where it came from \'97 though the servants who had dipped out the water knew \'97 he called to the bridegroom

riversident@John:2:14 @ Finding in the Temple courts the sellers of cattle and sheep and doves and the money-changers sitting there,

riversident@John:2:15 @ he made a whip of cords and drove them all from the courts \'97 all the sheep and the cattle, \'97 and he poured out the small coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables.

riversident@John:2:17 @ His disciples remembered that it was written, "Zeal for thy house will devour me."

riversident@John:2:18 @ The Jews said to him, "What sign do you show us, since you act in this way?"

riversident@John:2:22 @ So when he arose from the dead his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they believed the Scripture and the word that Jesus had spoken.

riversident@John:2:23 @ When he was in Jerusalem at the Feast of the Passover, many believed in his name, seeing his signs that he did,

riversident@John:2:25 @ and had no need for any one to inform him about man, for he knew what was in man.

riversident@John:3:2 @ This man came to Jesus one night and said to him, "Rabbi, we know that you have come from God as a teacher; for no one can do these signs that you are doing unless God is with him."

riversident@John:3:23 @ John also was baptizing in Aenon near Salim, because there was abundant water there. People were constantly coming and being baptized.

riversident@John:3:25 @ There arose a dispute between the disciples of John and a Jew about purification.

riversident@John:3:28 @ You yourselves are witnesses that I said, 'I am not the Christ, but I have been sent before him.'

riversident@John:3:29 @ He who has the bride is the bridegroom. But the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly at the bridegroom's voice. So this joy of mine is complete.

riversident@John:3:32 @ What he has seen and heard, that he testifies to, yet no one accepts his testimony.

riversident@John:3:33 @ He who accepts his testimony has set his seal that God is true.

riversident@John:3:35 @ The Father loves the Son and has placed all things in his hand.

riversident@John:3:36 @ He who believes in the Son has life eternal. He who disbelieves in the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides upon him.

riversident@John:4:1 @ WHEN the Master knew that the Pharisees had heard that he was making and baptizing more disciples than John \'97

riversident@John:4:5 @ He came to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near the piece of land that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

riversident@John:4:6 @ Jacob's well was there. Jesus, weary from his journey, sat just as he was on the well. It was about noon.

riversident@John:4:7 @ There came a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus said to her,

riversident@John:4:9 @ The Samaritan woman said to him, "How do you, a Jew, ask a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?" For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.

riversident@John:4:11 @ She said to him, "Sir, you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where do you get the living water from?

riversident@John:4:12 @ Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank of it, himself and his sons and his flocks?"

riversident@John:4:15 @ The woman said to him, "Give me this water, so that I may not thirst nor come all the way here to draw."

riversident@John:4:19 @ The woman said to him, "Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.

riversident@John:4:20 @ Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you say that in Jerusalem is the proper place to worship."

riversident@John:4:25 @ The woman said to him, "I know that Messiah is coming, who is called Christ. When he comes he will tell us all things."

riversident@John:4:27 @ Upon this came his disciples, and they wondered that he was talking with a woman. But no one said, "What do you want?" or, "Why are you talking with her?"

riversident@John:4:29 @ "Come, see a man who has told me all that I ever did. Is not this the Christ?"

riversident@John:4:31 @ In the meantime his disciples begged him, "Rabbi, eat something."

riversident@John:4:33 @ The disciples said to one another, "Can it be that any one has brought him something to eat?"

riversident@John:4:39 @ From that city many of the Samaritans believed in him on account of the woman's testimony, "He told me all that I ever did."

riversident@John:4:42 @ and they said to the woman, "We no longer believe because of what you said, for we ourselves have heard him and we know that this is truly the Savior of the World."

riversident@John:4:44 @ For Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his native place.

riversident@John:4:45 @ So when he came into Galilee, the Galilaeans welcomed him because they had seen what he did in Jerusalem at the feast. For they, too, had gone to the feast.

riversident@John:4:46 @ He came again to Cana in Galilee where he had made the water wine. A certain royal officer was there whose son was sick in Capernaum.

riversident@John:4:47 @ This man heard that Jesus had come from Judaea to Galilee, and he came to him and begged him to come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death,

riversident@John:4:50 @ Jesus said to him, The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and went.

riversident@John:4:51 @ Even while he was going down, his servants met him with the word that his son was living.

riversident@John:4:52 @ He inquired of them the hour when he was better. They said to him, "Yesterday at one o'clock the fever left him."

riversident@John:4:53 @ So the father knew that it was at that hour at which Jesus had said to him, and he believed, himself and his whole household.

riversident@John:4:54 @ This is the second time that Jesus did a sign just after coming from Judaea to Galilee.

riversident@John:5:2 @ There is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool which is called in Hebrew Bethesda. Around it are five colonnades.

riversident@John:5:6 @ Jesus saw this man lying there and perceiving that he had been there a long time, he said to him,

riversident@John:5:7 @ The sick man answered him, "I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is troubled. While I am coming, some other man gets down before me."

riversident@John:5:9 @ At once the man became well and took up his pallet and began walking. That day was the Sabbath.

riversident@John:5:10 @ The Jews said to the man who had been cured, "It is the Sabbath, and it is not proper for you to carry your pallet."

riversident@John:5:12 @ They asked him, "Who is the man that told you,

riversident@John:5:13 @ The cured man did not know who it was. For Jesus had taken himself away, a crowd being in that place.

riversident@John:5:15 @ The man went away and told the Jews that Jesus was the man who had made him well.

riversident@John:5:16 @ On this account the Jews persecuted Jesus because he did such things on the Sabbath.

riversident@John:5:18 @ On this account the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only kept breaking the Sabbath, but even spoke of God as his own Father, making himself equal with God.

riversident@John:6:2 @ A great crowd was following him because they saw the signs that he was doing upon those who had infirmities.

riversident@John:6:5 @ He lifted up his eyes and saw that a great crowd was coming to him, and he said to Philip,

riversident@John:6:6 @ This he said to test him, for he himself knew what he was going to do.

riversident@John:6:9 @ "There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fishes. But what are these for so many?"

riversident@John:6:12 @ When they were satisfied, he said to his disciples,

riversident@John:6:13 @ They gathered them and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which were left over by those who had eaten.

riversident@John:6:14 @ Then the people, seeing the sign that he had done, said, "This is truly the prophet who was to come into the world!"

riversident@John:6:15 @ Jesus, perceiving that they were about to come and take him by force to make him king, withdrew again up the mountain by himself alone.

riversident@John:6:17 @ and got into a boat and started across toward Capernaum. It had already grown dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them.

riversident@John:6:19 @ When they had rowed three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the lake and getting near the boat, and they were frightened.

riversident@John:6:21 @ Then they were willing to take him into the boat, and at once the boat came to the land they were making for.

riversident@John:6:22 @ On the next day the crowd that was standing on the other side of the lake saw that there had been no boat there but the one, and that Jesus had not got into the boat with his disciples, but that his disciples had gone away by themselves

riversident@John:6:24 @ when the crowd saw that Jesus was not there nor his disciples either, they got into those boats and came to Capernaum looking for Jesus.

riversident@John:6:28 @ They said to him, "What are we to do to work the works of God?"

riversident@John:6:30 @ They said to him, "What sign are you doing for us to see and believe in you? What are you working?

riversident@John:6:31 @ Our fathers ate the manna in the desert as it is written, 'He gave them bread from heaven to eat.' "

riversident@John:6:42 @ and they were saying, "Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does he say now,

riversident@John:6:52 @ The Jews disputed angrily with one another, saying, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?"

riversident@John:6:61 @ Jesus, knowing in his own mind that his disciples were muttering about this, said to them,

riversident@John:6:64 @ For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that did not believe, and who it was that would betray him.

riversident@John:6:66 @ After that many of the disciples drew back from him and no longer went about with him.

riversident@John:6:69 @ and we are persuaded and know that you are the Holy One of God."

riversident@John:7:3 @ His brothers said to him, "Leave this region and go into Judaea so that your disciples may see the works that you are doing.

riversident@John:7:10 @ After his brothers had gone up to the feast, Jesus himself went up, not openly, but somewhat privately.

riversident@John:7:11 @ The Jews were looking for him at the feast and were saying, "Where is that man?"

riversident@John:7:12 @ A low murmur of debate about him ran through the crowds. Some were saying, "He is good." Others were saying, "No, he misleads the crowd."

riversident@John:7:15 @ The Jews were astonished and said, "How does this man know books when he has never been educated?"

riversident@John:7:26 @ See, he is talking freely and they say nothing to him. It cannot be that the rulers know for truth that this is the Christ?

riversident@John:7:32 @ The Pharisees heard the murmur of debate about him in the crowd, and the high priests and the Pharisees sent officers to arrest him.

riversident@John:7:35 @ The Jews said to one another, "Where is this man going that we shall not find him? Will he go to the Jews who are scattered among the Greeks and teach the Greeks?

riversident@John:7:36 @ What does this assertion mean,

riversident@John:7:37 @ On the last day, the great day, of the feast Jesus stood and cried out,

riversident@John:7:42 @ Does not the Scripture say that the Christ comes of the descendants of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?"

riversident@John:7:48 @ Can it be that any one of the rulers or Pharisees has believed in him?

riversident@John:7:51 @ "Does our Law condemn any man without first hearing from him and learning what he is doing?"

riversident@John:7:52 @ They answered him, "Can it be that you too are from Galilee? Examine and see that from Galilee no prophet arises."

riversident@John:8:2 @ EARLY in the morning he came again to the Temple courts and all the people came to him and he sat down and taught them.

riversident@John:8:5 @ In the Law Moses commanded to stone such. What do you say?"

riversident@John:8:9 @ After hearing that, they passed out one by one, beginning with the older men, and he was left alone and the woman there in the center.

riversident@John:8:19 @ They said to him, "Where is your Father?" Jesus answered,

riversident@John:8:27 @ They did not perceive that he was speaking to them of the Father.

riversident@John:8:31 @ Jesus said to the Jews that had believed him,

riversident@John:8:39 @ They answered him, "Abraham is our father." He said to them,

riversident@John:8:41 @ They said to him, "We were not born of unchastity. We have one father \'97 God."

riversident@John:8:48 @ The Jews answered him, "Do we not say correctly that you are a Samaritan and have a demon?"

riversident@John:8:52 @ The Jews said to him, "Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died and the prophets died, and you say,

riversident@John:8:53 @ Are you greater than our father Abraham? And yet he died and the prophets died. Whom do you make yourself out to be?"

riversident@John:8:59 @ They took up stones to throw at him; but Jesus concealed himself and left the Temple courts.

riversident@John:9:2 @ His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?"

riversident@John:9:8 @ His neighbors and those accustomed to see him before, when he was begging, said, "Is not this the man that sat and begged?"

riversident@John:9:12 @ They said to him, "Where is that man?" He said, "I do not know."

riversident@John:9:14 @ It was on the Sabbath day that Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes.

riversident@John:9:16 @ Some of the Pharisees said, "This man is not from God because he does not keep the Sabbath." Others said, "How can a man, if he is a sinner, do such signs?" So there was a division among them.

riversident@John:9:17 @ They said again to the blind man, "What do you say about him, now that he has opened your eyes?" He said, "He is a prophet."

riversident@John:9:18 @ The Jews did not believe the story that he was blind and recovered his sight, until they had called the parents of the man who had recovered his sight

riversident@John:9:20 @ His parents answered, "We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind.

riversident@John:9:22 @ His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews. For the Jews had already agreed that if any one confessed Jesus as the Christ, he should be cast out of the synagogue.

riversident@John:9:24 @ They called a second time the man who had been blind, and said to him, "Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner."

riversident@John:9:26 @ They said to him, "What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?"

riversident@John:9:28 @ They flouted him and said, "You are that man's disciple; we are Moses' disciples.

riversident@John:9:29 @ We know that God spoke to Moses, but this man \'97 we do not know where he comes from."

riversident@John:9:31 @ We know that God does not listen to a sinner, but if any one is God-fearing and does his will, God hears him.

riversident@John:9:32 @ Since the world began it has not been heard that any one opened the eyes of a man born blind.

riversident@John:9:35 @ Jesus heard that they had cast him out, and found him and said,

riversident@John:9:36 @ The man answered, "Who is he, Sir? Tell me, so that I may believe in him."

riversident@John:10:6 @ This illustration Jesus gave to them, but they did not understand what he was saying to them.

riversident@John:10:22 @ Then came the Feast of Renovation in Jerusalem. It was winter.

riversident@John:10:40 @ and went away again beyond the Jordan to the place where John was at first when he was baptizing, and he stayed there.

riversident@John:10:41 @ Many came to him and they said, "John did no sign; but all that John said about this man was true."

riversident@John:11:2 @ It was that Mary who anointed the Master with perfume and wiped his feet with her hair whose brother Lazarus was sick.

riversident@John:11:6 @ So when he heard that he was sick, he stayed where he was two days.

riversident@John:11:7 @ Then, after that, he said to the disciples,

riversident@John:11:13 @ But Jesus had spoken of his death. They thought that he was speaking of the repose of sleep.

riversident@John:11:17 @ When Jesus came he found that Lazarus had been already four days in the tomb.

riversident@John:11:20 @ When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went out to meet him. Mary was sitting in the house.

riversident@John:11:22 @ And now I know that whatever you ask God for, God will give you."

riversident@John:11:24 @ Martha said to him, "I know that he will rise at the resurrection on the last day."

riversident@John:11:27 @ She said to him, "Yes, Master. I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world."

riversident@John:11:28 @ Having said this, she went away and called Mary her sister, saying to her privately, "The Teacher is here and is asking for you."

riversident@John:11:31 @ The Jews who were with Mary in the house trying to comfort her, seeing her rise quickly and go out, followed thinking that she was going to the tomb to wail there.

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

riversident@John:11:44 @ Forth came the dead man, swathed feet and hands in grave-clothes and his face bound up in a handkerchief. Jesus said,

riversident@John:11:45 @ Many of the Jews who had come to Mary and had seen what Jesus did believed in him.

riversident@John:11:46 @ But some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.

riversident@John:11:47 @ So the high priests and the Pharisees assembled the Council and said, "What are we doing? for this man is doing many signs.

riversident@John:11:48 @ If we let him alone in this way, all will believe in him and the Romans will come and destroy our place and nation."

riversident@John:11:49 @ One of them, Caiaphas, who was High Priest that year, said to them, "You do not know anything

riversident@John:11:50 @ nor do you reason that it is better for you that one man should die for the people and so the whole nation escape destruction."

riversident@John:11:51 @ He did not say this of himself, but being High Priest that year he prophesied that Jesus was about to die for the nation,

riversident@John:11:52 @ and not for the nation only, but to gather into one the children of God now scattered far and wide.

riversident@John:11:53 @ From that day they plotted to kill him.

riversident@John:11:56 @ They were looking for Jesus and were saying to one another, as they stood in the Temple courts, "What do you think? That he will not come to the feast?"

riversident@John:11:57 @ The high priests and the Pharisees had given orders that, if any one knew where he was, he should report it so that they might arrest him.

riversident@John:12:2 @ There they made a dinner for him. Martha waited on them, and Lazarus was one of those who reclined at table with him.

riversident@John:12:6 @ He said this, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief and having the purse used to pilfer what was put into it.

riversident@John:12:9 @ A great crowd of the Jews learned that he was there, and they came, not on account of Jesus alone, but also to see Lazarus whom he had raised from the dead.

riversident@John:12:12 @ On the next day the great crowd which had come to the feast, hearing that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

riversident@John:12:14 @ Jesus, finding a young ass, sat on it, as it is written,

riversident@John:12:16 @ These things his disciples did not understand at first, but when Jesus had been glorified, then they remembered that these things had been written of him and had been done to him.

riversident@John:12:17 @ The people that were with him when he called Lazarus from the tomb and raised him from the dead were bearing witness to it.

riversident@John:12:18 @ For this reason the crowd went to meet him, because they had heard that he had done this sign.

riversident@John:12:19 @ The Pharisees said among themselves, "You see that you are gaining nothing. Look, the world has gone off after him."

riversident@John:12:20 @ There were some Greeks among those who had come up to worship at the feast.

riversident@John:12:29 @ The crowd that was standing there and heard said that it had thundered. Others said, "An angel spoke to him."

riversident@John:12:33 @ This he said indicating by what death he was to die.

riversident@John:12:34 @ The crowd answered him, "We have heard out of the Law that the Christ remains forever. How do you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?"

riversident@John:12:38 @ so that the word of Isaiah the prophet should be fulfilled. Isaiah said, "Lord, who has believed our report, and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?"

riversident@John:12:40 @ "He has blinded their eyes and dulled their mind so that they may not see with their eyes nor understand with their mind and repent so that I should heal them."

riversident@John:13:1 @ BEFORE the Feast of the Passover, Jesus, knowing that the hour had come for him to pass from this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world loved them to the end.

riversident@John:13:3 @ Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands and that he had come from God and was going to God,

riversident@John:13:5 @ Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the feet of the disciples and to wipe them with the towel he had around him.

riversident@John:13:22 @ The disciples looked at one another wondering whom he meant.

riversident@John:13:24 @ Simon Peter nodded to him and said, "Say who it is that he is speaking of."

riversident@John:13:27 @ After the piece of bread Satan entered into him. Jesus said to him,

riversident@John:13:28 @ No one of those reclining at the table understood why he said this to him.

riversident@John:13:29 @ Some thought, since Judas had the purse, that Jesus was telling him, "Buy what we need for the feast," or to give something to the poor.

riversident@John:13:30 @ After taking the morsel Judas immediately went out. It was night.

riversident@John:14:8 @ Philip said to him, "Master, show us the Father and we shall be satisfied."

riversident@John:14:22 @ Judas (note:)not Iscariot(:note) said to him, "Master, what has happened that you are going to show yourself to us and not to the world?"

riversident@John:16:17 @ Some of his disciples said to one another, "What is this that he says, and,

riversident@John:16:18 @ So they said, "What is this that he says, We do not know what he means."

riversident@John:16:19 @ Jesus perceived that they wanted to ask him, and he said to them,

riversident@John:16:30 @ Now we know that you know all things and that you have no need to have any one question you. From this we believe that you have come forth from God."

riversident@John:18:3 @ So Judas, getting a battalion of soldiers and some subordinate officers of the high priests and the Pharisees, came there with torches and lamps and weapons.

riversident@John:18:4 @ Jesus, knowing all things that were coming upon him, came forward and said to them,

riversident@John:18:9 @ He said this that the word might be fulfilled which he had spoken,

riversident@John:18:12 @ So the battalion and the Tribune and the Jewish policemen arrested Jesus and bound him

riversident@John:18:13 @ and took him first to Annas, for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas who was High Priest that year.

riversident@John:18:14 @ Caiaphas was the man who had advised the Jews that it was best that one man should die for the people.

riversident@John:18:15 @ Simon Peter was following Jesus and so was another disciple. That disciple was known to the High Priest and he went in with Jesus into the court of the High Priest.

riversident@John:18:16 @ Peter stood by the gate outside. The other disciple, who was known to the High Priest, went out and spoke to the girl at the door and brought in Peter.

riversident@John:18:17 @ The girl at the door said to Peter, "You are not one of this man's disciples, too, are you?" He said, "I am not."

riversident@John:18:22 @ When he said this, a policeman, who was standing by, gave Jesus a slap, saying, "Do you answer the High Priest that way?"

riversident@John:18:26 @ One of the servants of the High Priest, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, said, "Did I not see you in the garden with him?"

riversident@John:18:27 @ Again Peter denied, and immediately a cock crowed.

riversident@John:18:28 @ They led Jesus from Caiaphas to the Castle. It was early morning. The Jews did not enter the Castle, wishing to avoid defilement, so that they might eat the Passover.

riversident@John:18:29 @ Pilate went out to them and said, "What charge do you bring against this man?"

riversident@John:18:31 @ Pilate said to them, "Take him yourselves and judge him by your law." The Jews said to him, "It is not lawful for us to put any one to death."

riversident@John:18:32 @ They said this that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled \'97 the word he had spoken indicating by what death he was to die.

riversident@John:18:33 @ Pilate entered the Castle again and called Jesus and said to him, "Are you the King of the Jews?"

riversident@John:18:35 @ Pilate answered, "I am not a Jew, am I? Your nation and the high priests have handed you over to me. What have you done?"

riversident@John:18:37 @ Pilate said to him, "Are you not a king then?" Jesus answered,

riversident@John:18:38 @ Pilate said to him, "What is truth?" After saying this he went out again to the Jews and said to them, "I find no crime in him.

riversident@John:18:39 @ But you have a custom that I should release for you one at the Passover. Do you want me to release for you the King of the Jews?"

riversident@John:19:1 @ THEN Pilate took Jesus and scourged him.

riversident@John:19:4 @ Pilate went out again and said to them, "See, I am bringing him out to you that you may know that I find no crime in him."

riversident@John:19:5 @ Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple cloak. Pilate said to them, "Here is the man!"

riversident@John:19:6 @ When the high priests and their subordinates saw him, they shouted, "Crucify him, crucify him!" Pilate said, "You take him and crucify him. For I find no crime in him."

riversident@John:19:7 @ The Jews answered, "We have a law and by that law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God."

riversident@John:19:8 @ When Pilate heard that, he was more alarmed

riversident@John:19:10 @ Pilate said to him, "Do you not speak to me? Do you not know that I have authority to release you and authority to crucify you?"

riversident@John:19:12 @ After this, Pilate kept trying to release him, but the Jews shouted, "If you let this man go you are not a friend of Caesar. Every one who makes himself a king speaks against Caesar."

riversident@John:19:13 @ Pilate, on hearing these words, brought Jesus out and sat down on the judge's seat in the place called the Mosaic Pavement \'97 in Hebrew, Gabbatha.

riversident@John:19:14 @ It was the Preparation Day of the Passover, about noon. He said to the Jews, "See your king!"

riversident@John:19:15 @ They shouted, "Away with him, away with him! Crucify him!" Pilate said to them, "Shall I crucify your king?" The high priests answered, "We have no king but Caesar."

riversident@John:19:17 @ and laid on him his cross and went out to what is called Skull Place \'97 in Hebrew, Golgotha \'97

riversident@John:19:18 @ where they crucified him. And with him they crucified two others, one on this side and one on that, and Jesus between them.

riversident@John:19:19 @ Pilate wrote a sign and put it up on the cross. It was written:

riversident@John:19:20 @ Many of the Jews read this sign, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, and in Greek.

riversident@John:19:21 @ The high priests of the Jews said to Pilate, "Do not write, 'The King of the Jews,' but, 'This man said, I am King of the Jews.' "

riversident@John:19:22 @ Pilate answered, "What I have written, I have written."

riversident@John:19:24 @ They said to one another, "Let us not tear it, but cast lots who shall have it." This was so that the Scripture might be fulfilled, "They parted my garments among them and on my clothing they cast lots." The soldiers did this.

riversident@John:19:27 @ Then he said to the disciple, From that hour the disciple took her to his own home.

riversident@John:19:28 @ After this, Jesus knowing that now all things had been completed, in order that the Scripture might be fulfilled said,

riversident@John:19:31 @ The Jews, because it was Preparation Day, in order that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the Sabbath, for that Sabbath was a great day, requested Pilate to have their legs broken to kill them.

riversident@John:19:34 @ But one of the soldiers with his spear pierced his side and immediately there came forth blood and water.

riversident@John:19:35 @ He who saw it has borne witness and his witness is true, and he knows that he speaks the truth in order that you may believe.

riversident@John:19:36 @ For this happened that the Scripture might be fulfilled, "A bone of him shall not be broken."

riversident@John:19:38 @ After this, Joseph of Arimathaea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, asked of Pilate permission to carry away the body of Jesus, and Pilate granted it. So he came and carried his body away.

riversident@John:19:39 @ Nicodemus, the man who came to him at first by night, came also bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds weight.

riversident@John:19:42 @ There, on account of the Preparation of the Jews, because the tomb was near, they laid Jesus.

riversident@John:20:1 @ ON the first day of the week, early in the morning while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and saw that the stone had been taken from the tomb.

riversident@John:20:6 @ Simon Peter came following him and entered the tomb and looked at the linen cloths lying

riversident@John:20:7 @ and the handkerchief that had been about his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but rolled up in a place apart.

riversident@John:20:9 @ For they did not yet know the Scripture that he must rise from the dead.

riversident@John:20:12 @ and saw two angels in white sitting one at the head and one at the feet where the body of Jesus had lain.

riversident@John:20:14 @ After saying this, she turned and saw Jesus standing, but did not recognize that it was Jesus.

riversident@John:20:15 @ Jesus said to her, She, thinking that he was the gardener, said to him, "Sir, if you have removed him, tell me where you have laid him and I will take him away."

riversident@John:20:16 @ Jesus said to her, She turned and said to him in Hebrew, "Rabboni!" (note:)that is, Teacher(:note).

riversident@John:20:18 @ Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples, "I have seen the Master," and she told that he had said these things to her.

riversident@John:20:19 @ In the evening of that day, the first day of the week, when the doors had been closed where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst and said to them,

riversident@John:20:22 @ When he had said this, he breathed on them and said,

riversident@John:20:31 @ But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life through his name.

riversident@John:21:1 @ AFTER this, Jesus showed himself again to the disciples at the Lake of Tiberias. He showed himself in this way.

riversident@John:21:2 @ There were together Simon Peter and Thomas, called Didymus (note:)the Twin(:note), and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee and two other disciples.

riversident@John:21:3 @ Simon Peter said to them, "I am going fishing." They said, "We will go along with you." They went out and got into a boat, but that night they caught nothing.

riversident@John:21:4 @ When day was breaking, Jesus stood on the beach. The disciples, however, did not recognize that it was Jesus.

riversident@John:21:7 @ That disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It is the Master!" Simon Peter, on hearing that it was the Master, girded around him his blouse, for he was naked, and threw himself into the lake.

riversident@John:21:8 @ The other disciples came in the small boat, for they were not far from land \'97 about a hundred yards \'97 dragging the netful of fish.

riversident@John:21:11 @ Simon Peter got into the boat and drew the net to land full of big fishes \'97 a hundred and fifty-three \'97 and though there were so many the net was not torn.

riversident@John:21:12 @ Jesus said, No one of the disciples dared to ask him who he was, knowing that it was the Master.

riversident@John:21:14 @ This is now the third time that Jesus showed himself to the disciples after rising from the dead.

riversident@John:21:15 @ When they had breakfasted, Jesus said to Simon Peter, He said to him, "Yes, Master, you know that I love you." He said to him,

riversident@John:21:16 @ He said to him a second time, He said to him, "Yes, Master, you know that I love you." He said to him,

riversident@John:21:17 @ He said to him the third time, Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, and he said to him, "Master, you know all things. You know that I love you." Jesus said to him,

riversident@John:21:19 @ This he said, indicating the kind of death by which he would glorify God. After saying this he said to him,

riversident@John:21:20 @ Peter turned and saw the disciple whom Jesus loved, following. (note:)It was he who at the supper had leaned on Jesus' breast and said, "Lord, who is it that will betray you? "(:note)

riversident@John:21:21 @ Peter, seeing him, said to Jesus, "Master, what shall this man do?"

riversident@John:21:23 @ So the report went out among the brethren that that disciple was not to die. But Jesus did not say to Peter that he would not die, but,

riversident@John:21:24 @ This is the disciple who witnesses to these things and who wrote these things, and we know that his testimony is true.

riversident@John:21:25 @ There are also many other things that Jesus did, but if these are written, every one, I do not think that the world itself will have room for the books when written.

riversident@Acts:1:1 @ IN my first book, Theophilus, I told of all that Jesus did and taught from the beginning

riversident@Acts:1:3 @ By many proofs he revealed himself to these men as still alive after his sufferings; for he was seen by them for forty days and spoke of things relating to the kingdom of God.

riversident@Acts:1:4 @ Also while eating with them, he charged them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, said he,

riversident@Acts:1:6 @ When they came together, they asked him, "Master, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?"

riversident@Acts:1:11 @ and said, "Men of Galilee, why are you standing and looking up into the sky? This Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way that you have seen him go into heaven."

riversident@Acts:1:12 @ They then returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called the Olive Orchard, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey distant.

riversident@Acts:1:13 @ When they came into the city, they went up to the upper room where they were staying. There were Peter and John, and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James.

riversident@Acts:1:16 @ "Brethren, it was necessary that the Scripture should be fulfilled which the Holy Spirit spoke through the mouth of David concerning Judas, who became guide to those who arrested Jesus.

riversident@Acts:1:19 @ It became known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that that field was called in their own language Akeldama, that is, the Field of Blood.)

riversident@Acts:1:20 @ For it is written in the book of Psalms, 'Let his dwelling become desolate and let there be no one living in it,' and, 'His overseership let another take.'

riversident@Acts:1:21 @ It is needful, therefore, that of the men who have been with us during all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,

riversident@Acts:1:22 @ from the baptism of John down to the day that he was taken up from us \'97 that one of these should become a witness with us of his resurrection."

riversident@Acts:1:23 @ So they put forward two, Joseph who is called Barsabbas, surnamed Justus, and Matthias.

riversident@Acts:1:26 @ Then they cast lots between them. The lot fell on Matthias and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.

riversident@Acts:2:5 @ There were Jews living in Jerusalem, pious men from every nation under heaven.

riversident@Acts:2:8 @ How then does each of us hear them in his own native language?

riversident@Acts:2:12 @ They were all astonished and at a loss, one saying to another, "What does this mean?"

riversident@Acts:2:16 @ but this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel:

riversident@Acts:2:17 @ 'It will be in the last days, says God, that I will pour out my Spirit upon all mankind, and your sons and your daughters will prophesy, and your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams.

riversident@Acts:2:18 @ Yes, upon the slave men and slave girls that are mine I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.

riversident@Acts:2:19 @ I will give portents in heaven above and signs on the earth beneath, blood and fire and vapor of smoke.

riversident@Acts:2:20 @ The sun will be turned into darkness and the moon into blood before the day of the Lord comes \'97 that great and glorious day.

riversident@Acts:2:24 @ But God freed him from the pangs of death and raised him up, since it was impossible that he should be held under the power of death.

riversident@Acts:2:25 @ For David says of him, 'I saw the Lord always before my face, for he is at my right hand so that I may not be cast down.

riversident@Acts:2:27 @ that thou wilt not leave my soul to Hades and wilt not let thy holy one see decay.

riversident@Acts:2:28 @ Thou makest me know the paths of life. Thou wilt fill me with joy in thy presence.'

riversident@Acts:2:29 @ "Brethren, allow me to say frankly to you regarding the patriarch David that he died and was buried and his tomb is among us to this day.

riversident@Acts:2:30 @ But being a prophet and knowing that God had sworn to him an oath to place a descendant of his body upon his throne,

riversident@Acts:2:31 @ he foreseeing spoke of the resurrection of the Christ, saying that he was not left to Hades and that his flesh did not see decay.

riversident@Acts:2:33 @ Therefore having been exalted to the right hand of God and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this which you see and hear.

riversident@Acts:2:34 @ For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he says, 'The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand,

riversident@Acts:2:36 @ Let all the house of Israel know surely that this Jesus, whom you crucified, God has made both Lord and Christ."

riversident@Acts:2:37 @ Hearing this they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, "What shall we do, brethren?"

riversident@Acts:2:40 @ With many other words he bore witness and exhorted them, "Save yourselves from this perverse generation."

riversident@Acts:2:41 @ Those who accepted his message were baptized, and there were added on that day about three thousand souls.

riversident@Acts:2:42 @ These gave constant attention to the teaching of the apostles and to the fellowship and the breaking of bread and the prayers.

riversident@Acts:3:4 @ But Peter fixing his eyes on him, along with John, said, "Look at us."

riversident@Acts:3:5 @ He gave attention to them, expecting to receive something from them.

riversident@Acts:3:6 @ But Peter said, "Silver and gold I have not; but what I have I will give you. In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, walk."

riversident@Acts:3:7 @ Grasping his right hand he lifted him up. Immediately his feet and ankles became strong,

riversident@Acts:3:11 @ While he still clung to Peter and John, all the people ran crowding around them in what was called Solomon's Colonnade, greatly astonished.

riversident@Acts:3:12 @ Peter, seeing the people, explained, "Fellow Israelites, why do you wonder at this, or why do you gaze so at us, as if by our own power or piety we had made him walk?

riversident@Acts:8:40 @ But Philip found himself at Azotus, and passing through all the cities he told the good news until he came to Casarea.

riversident@Acts:9:1 @ SAUL was still breathing out threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord. He went to the High Priest

riversident@Acts:23:19 @ The Tribune took him by the hand and led him aside and asked, "What is it that you have to tell me?"

riversident@Acts:23:21 @ But do not yield to them, for more than forty men of them are lying in ambush, and they have taken an oath not to eat or drink until they have killed him, and now they are ready, expecting a promise from you."

riversident@Acts:23:22 @ The Tribune dismissed the young man after charging him; "Tell no one that you have revealed this to me."

riversident@Acts:23:23 @ Then calling to him two of the centurions he said, "Prepare two hundred soldiers to go to Caesarea, and seventy horsemen and two hundred spearmen, at nine o'clock to-night."

riversident@Acts:23:27 @ This man was seized by the Jews and was about to be killed by them when I came up with soldiers and rescued him, having learned that he was a Roman.

riversident@Acts:23:28 @ Wishing to find what was the charge that they had against him I took him down to their Council.

riversident@Acts:23:29 @ I found him accused regarding disputed questions of their law, but of nothing deserving of death or of bonds.

riversident@Acts:23:30 @ Information has come to me that there will be a plot against the man, and so I am sending him at once to you, and I have commanded his accusers to state their case against him before you."

riversident@Acts:23:31 @ So the soldiers, according to their orders, took Paul and conducted him by night to Antipatris.

riversident@Acts:23:34 @ He read the letter and asked of what province he was, and learned that he was from Cilicia.

riversident@Acts:23:35 @ Then he said, "I will hear what you have to say when your accusers also arrive." He gave orders that Paul should be guarded in Herod's castle.

riversident@Acts:24:1 @ AFTER five days the High Priest Ananias came down with certain elders and an advocate named Tertullus, and they spoke against Paul to the Governor.

riversident@Acts:24:2 @ When Paul had been called in, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, "Because we enjoy great peace through your administration and reforms are taking place for this nation through your prudence,

riversident@Acts:24:3 @ we accept it always and everywhere, most excellent Felix, with all gratitude.

riversident@Acts:24:6 @ He even tried to desecrate the Temple courts, but we overpowered him.

riversident@Acts:24:9 @ The Jews joined in the attack upon him, affirming that these things were so.

riversident@Acts:24:10 @ Paul answered, when the Governor nodded to him to speak, "Because I know that for many years you have been a judge to this nation, I feel courage in defending myself.

riversident@Acts:24:11 @ You can ascertain that it is not more than twelve days since I went up to Jerusalem to worship.

riversident@Acts:24:12 @ Neither did they find me discussing with any one in the Temple courts nor making any tumultuous gatherings in the synagogues nor anywhere in the city,

riversident@Acts:24:13 @ nor can they bring you proofs of their accusations against me.

riversident@Acts:24:14 @ "This I do confess to you, that in the Way which they call a heresy I worship the God of our fathers, believing all things that are according to the Law and what is written in the Prophets

riversident@Acts:24:15 @ and having the hope in God which they themselves also accept \'97 that there will be a resurrection both of the just and of the unjust.

riversident@Acts:24:17 @ "After many years I came to my nation to make gifts of charity and offerings.

riversident@Acts:24:19 @ who ought to have been here before you to present their accusations if they had anything against me,

riversident@Acts:24:20 @ or let these themselves say what wrong they found in me when I stood before the Council;

riversident@Acts:24:21 @ unless it was in the single assertion that I shouted as I stood among them, 'It is regarding the resurrection of the dead that I am on trial to-day before you!' "

riversident@Acts:24:22 @ Felix adjourned the case, since he was well informed regarding the Way, saying, "When Lysias the Tribune comes down, I will inquire into your matters."

riversident@Acts:24:23 @ He gave orders to the Centurion to guard him, but to let him have indulgence, and not to hinder any of his friends from attending to his wants.

riversident@Acts:24:25 @ While Paul was reasoning about righteousness and self-discipline and the judgment that is to come, Felix became alarmed and said," Go for the present. When I find a convenient time I will send for you."

riversident@Acts:24:26 @ At the same time he was in hopes that money would be given him by Paul and therefore he used to send for him more frequently and converse with him.

riversident@Acts:24:27 @ But at the end of two years Felix received Porcius Festus as a successor, and, wishing to do the Jews a favor, he left Paul in chains.

riversident@Acts:25:3 @ and begged as a favor that he would send for him to Jerusalem, intending to have an ambush and kill him on the road.

riversident@Acts:25:4 @ But Festus answered that Paul was being kept in Caesarea and that he himself was going back very soon.

riversident@Acts:25:6 @ After spending not more than eight or ten days among them, he went down to Caesarea and on the next day took his seat on the judge's bench and ordered Paul to be brought in.

riversident@Acts:25:11 @ If I am in the wrong and have committed anything worthy of death, I do not ask not to die. But if there is nothing in the accusations of these men, no one has the power to give me up to them. I appeal to Caesar."

riversident@Acts:25:16 @ I answered them that it is not the custom of the Romans to give up any person for punishment before the accused has his accusers face to face and has opportunity for defense against the charge.

riversident@Acts:25:17 @ "So they came along down here and, without making any delay, on the very next day I took my seat on the judge's bench and ordered the man to be brought in.

riversident@Acts:25:20 @ Being at a loss about a question of this kind, I asked if he would be willing to go to Jerusalem and be tried there on the charges.

riversident@Acts:25:21 @ But when Paul appealed to be kept for the examination of the Emperor, I ordered him to be kept until I could send him to Caesar."

riversident@Acts:25:23 @ So on the next day Agrippa came and Bernice with much display, and they entered the auditorium with the military tribunes and the principal men of the city, and at Festus' command Paul was led in.

riversident@Acts:25:24 @ Festus said, "King Agrippa and all present here with us, you see this man against whom all the multitude of the Jews pleaded with me, both in Jerusalem and here, crying out that he ought not to live any longer.

riversident@Acts:25:25 @ But I understood that he had done nothing worthy of death, and when he himself had appealed to the Emperor, I decided to send him.

riversident@Acts:25:26 @ Concerning him I have nothing certain to write to my Lord. Therefore I have brought him before you all, and especially before you, King Agrippa, that after an examination I may have something to write.

riversident@Acts:26:1 @ AGRIPPA said to Paul, "You are at liberty to speak for yourself." Then Paul stretched out his hand and made his defense:

riversident@Acts:26:2 @ "In regard to all of the things of which I am accused by Jews, King Agrippa, I consider myself fortunate that I am to make my defense to-day before you,

riversident@Acts:26:3 @ since you are especially expert in all Jewish customs and questions. Therefore I pray you to hear me patiently.

riversident@Acts:26:4 @ "My life from boyhood, which was from the beginning among my own nation and in Jerusalem, all Jews know.

riversident@Acts:26:5 @ They knew me from long ago, if they were willing to testify, and that according to the strictest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee.

riversident@Acts:26:6 @ And now I stand to be tried for the hope of the promise which God made to our fathers,

riversident@Acts:26:7 @ to which our twelve tribes devotedly serving God night and day hope to attain. For this hope I am accused by the Jews, O King.

riversident@Acts:26:9 @ I thought with myself that I ought to do much against the name of Jesus the Nazarene.

riversident@Acts:26:10 @ And I did it in Jerusalem and many holy men I shut up in prison, getting authority from the high priests, and when they were put to death I gave my vote against them.

riversident@Acts:26:19 @ After that, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision,

riversident@Acts:26:20 @ but first to the people in Damascus and then to the people of Jerusalem and through all the land of Judaea and to the Gentiles, I proclaimed that they should repent and turn to God and do deeds suitable for a change of heart.

riversident@Acts:26:22 @ But obtaining help from God I have continued until this day witnessing to small and great, saying nothing but what the prophets and Moses said would be,

riversident@Acts:26:23 @ that the Christ would suffer and that he first, by rising from the dead, would proclaim light to our people and to the Gentiles."

riversident@Acts:26:26 @ The King knows about this, and to him I speak with perfect frankness, for I am persuaded that not one of these things has escaped his attention, for this has not been done in a corner.

riversident@Acts:26:27 @ King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know that you believe them."

riversident@Acts:26:29 @ Paul said, "I would to God that whether with little or with much, not only you, but all who hear me this day, would become such as I am \'97 except for these chains."

riversident@Acts:26:31 @ and after withdrawing they said to one another, "This man is doing nothing deserving of death or chains."

riversident@Acts:26:32 @ Agrippa said to Festus, "This man could have been set at liberty if he had not appealed to Caesar."

riversident@Acts:27:1 @ WHEN it was decided that we should sail for Italy, they committed Paul and certain other prisoners to a centurion named Julius, of an imperial battalion.

riversident@Acts:27:3 @ On the next day we reached Sidon, where Julius treated Paul kindly and allowed him to go to see his friends and enjoy their attentions.

riversident@Acts:27:10 @ "Men," he said, "I see that the voyage is going to be rough and with much loss not only of the cargo and the ship but also of our lives."

riversident@Acts:27:11 @ But the Centurion listened more to the sailing master and the ship owner than to what Paul said,

riversident@Acts:27:13 @ When the south wind blew softly, thinking that they had secured their purpose, they weighed anchor and coasted along Crete.

riversident@Acts:27:16 @ Running under the lee of an island called Cauda, we contrived with difficulty to secure the small boat.

riversident@Acts:27:17 @ When we had got it in, we used ropes to undergird the ship. Fearing that we might get stranded on the Syrtis, they lowered the sail and so drifted.

riversident@Acts:27:18 @ So violently were we battered by the storm that on the next day they lightened the ship

riversident@Acts:27:20 @ When for many days neither sun nor stars appeared and no small tempest lay on us, at last all hope of our being saved was being taken away.

riversident@Acts:27:25 @ So cheer up, men. For I trust in God that it will be as it has been told me.

riversident@Acts:27:27 @ When the fourteenth night came, as we were being driven through the Adriatic, about midnight the sailors surmised that land was getting near.

riversident@Acts:27:28 @ Sounding they found twenty fathoms, and after a little they sounded again and found fifteen fathoms.

riversident@Acts:27:29 @ Then fearing that they might run into rocky places, they cast out four anchors from the stern and prayed for day to come.

riversident@Acts:27:30 @ The sailors were intent on escaping from the ship and lowered the small boat into the sea under the pretense of laying out anchors from the bow,

riversident@Acts:27:32 @ Then the soldiers cut the ropes of the small boat and let her fall off.

riversident@Acts:27:33 @ Until day began to dawn, Paul kept urging all to take food. He said, "To-day is the fourteenth day that you have been on the watch fasting, not taking anything.

riversident@Acts:27:35 @ Saying this he took a loaf and gave thanks to God before all and broke it and began to eat.

riversident@Acts:27:38 @ After eating heartily, they lightened the ship, throwing over the wheat into the sea.

riversident@Acts:27:40 @ So abandoning the anchors they left them in the sea; at the same time loosening the bands of the steering oars and raising the foresail to the wind, they made for the beach.

riversident@Acts:27:42 @ The soldiers' advice was to kill the prisoners for fear that some one of them might swim out and escape.

riversident@Acts:28:1 @ WHEN we were safe ashore, we found that the island was called Melita.

riversident@Acts:28:2 @ The foreign people showed us uncommon kindness. For they kindled a fire and welcomed us all because of the rain that was falling and the cold.

riversident@Acts:28:3 @ Paul had collected a bundle of sticks and laid it on the fire, when a snake came out of the heat and fastened on his hand.

riversident@Acts:28:4 @ When the foreigners saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to one another, "Certainly this man is a murderer, whom, although he has escaped the sea, Justice does not permit to live."

riversident@Acts:28:5 @ He however shook off the creature into the fire and felt no harm.

riversident@Acts:28:6 @ They kept watching to see him swell up or suddenly fall down dead. But after watching a long time and seeing nothing amiss happen to him, they changed their minds and said that he was a god.

riversident@Acts:28:7 @ In the neighborhood of that place were lands belonging to the Governor of the island, whose name was Publius. He welcomed us and for three days hospitably entertained us.

riversident@Acts:28:8 @ It happened that the father of Publius was lying ill with fever and dysentery. Paul went in to see him and prayed and laid his hands on him and healed him.

riversident@Acts:28:11 @ After three months we sailed in a ship that had wintered in the island. She was from Alexandria and her figure-head was the Twin Brothers.

riversident@Acts:28:12 @ Landing at Syracuse we remained there three days.

riversident@Acts:28:18 @ They, after investigating my case, wished to set me free because I had done nothing deserving of death.

riversident@Acts:28:19 @ But when the Jews spoke against it, I was compelled to appeal to Caesar, not that I have any charge to bring against my own nation.

riversident@Acts:28:20 @ For this reason I have invited you to see me and talk with me; because it is for the sake of the hope of Israel that I have this chain around me."

riversident@Acts:28:23 @ They appointed a day for him and many came to him at his lodging. He explained to them, testifying to the kingdom of God, trying to persuade them concerning Jesus from the Law of Moses and from the Prophets, from early morning until evening.

riversident@Acts:28:24 @ Some were persuaded by what he said and some did not believe.

riversident@Acts:28:25 @ They dispersed, disagreeing with one another, after Paul had said one word, "Well said the Holy Spirit through Isaiah, the prophet, to your fathers,

riversident@Romans:1:16 @ For I am not ashamed of the good news. It is the power of God for salvation to every one who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

riversident@Romans:1:18 @ For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all impiety and wickedness of men who hold the truth but practice unrighteousness.

riversident@Romans:1:19 @ Because what may be known of God is manifest within them, for God has manifested it to them.

riversident@Romans:1:20 @ For God's invisible qualities \'97 his everlasting power and deity \'97 are, since the creation of the world, clearly seen, being known from what he has made. So they are without any excuse.

riversident@Romans:1:21 @ For although they knew God they did not glorify him as God and did not give him thanks, but fell into futile speculations and their stupid hearts were darkened.

riversident@Romans:1:25 @ They changed the truth of God into a lie, and reverenced and paid worship to the creature rather than to the Creator \'97 who is blessed forever, Amen!

riversident@Romans:1:26 @ Therefore God gave them over to disgraceful passions. For their females changed the natural use for one contrary to nature,

riversident@Romans:1:27 @ and their males, leaving the natural use of the female, burned in their lust for one another, males with males practicing indecency and receiving in themselves the deserved penalty of their error.

riversident@Romans:1:28 @ And as they did not think fit to keep God in their knowledge, God gave them over to an abandoned mind, to do the things that are shameful,

riversident@Romans:1:30 @ slanderers, hateful to God, insolent, arrogant, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

riversident@Romans:1:32 @ They know the just judgment of God that those who practice such things are worthy of death, yet they not only do them themselves, but are pleased with those who practice them.

riversident@Romans:2:2 @ But we know that the judgment of God is according to truth upon those who practice such things.

riversident@Romans:2:3 @ Do you think, O man, you who judge those who practice such things while you do the same, that you will escape the judgment of God?

riversident@Romans:2:4 @ Or do you despise the wealth of his kindness and forbearance and long-suffering, not knowing that the kindness of God is calling you to a change of heart?

riversident@Romans:2:5 @ Are you with a hard and unrepentant heart treasuring for yourself wrath for the day of wrath and for the revelation of the just judgment of God?

riversident@Romans:2:8 @ But to those of a partisan spirit who do not obey the truth, but obey wickedness, there will be wrath and hot anger.

riversident@Romans:2:9 @ Distress and crushing calamity will fall upon every human soul that works evil, upon the Jew first and also upon the Greek.

riversident@Romans:2:14 @ for when Gentiles who have no law do by nature what the Law enjoins, these, although they have no law, are a law to themselves;

riversident@Romans:4:23 @ It was not written for his sake only, that it was credited to him,

riversident@Romans:5:3 @ Not only so, but we also exult in trials, knowing that trial develops endurance,

riversident@Romans:5:6 @ For while we were still without strength Christ, at the due time, died for the unrighteous.

riversident@Romans:5:8 @ But God shows his own love to us in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us.

riversident@Romans:5:9 @ Much more then, now that we have been pronounced righteous through his blood, shall we be saved from wrath by him.

riversident@Romans:5:10 @ For if while enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.

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

riversident@Romans:5:12 @ Therefore as through one man sin entered the world, and through sin death entered, and so death spread to all men, since all sinned \'97

riversident@Romans:5:14 @ but death reigned from Adam to Moses even over those who had not sinned like Adam, who is the type of him who was coming.

riversident@Romans:5:16 @ And the free gift was not like the sentence that came through one who sinned; for the sentence came from one fall for condemnation, but the free gift was that men should be called righteous in spite of many falls.

riversident@Romans:5:17 @ For if by the fall of one man death reigned through that one, much more those who receive the abounding grace and the free gift of righteousness will reign in life through one, that is, through Jesus Christ.

riversident@Romans:5:18 @ As then through one fall sentence came upon all men and they were condemned; so through one righteous act the free gift came to all men so that they are pronounced righteous and live.

riversident@Romans:5:20 @ But law came in alongside that the fall might be greater; but where sin became greater grace became greater still,

riversident@Romans:5:21 @ in order that as sin reigned in death grace might reign through righteousness and issue in life eternal through Jesus Christ our Lord.

riversident@Romans:6:1 @ WHAT shall we say then? Shall we remain in sin so that grace may be great?

riversident@Romans:6:3 @ Are you ignorant that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?

riversident@Romans:6:4 @ We were buried with him by baptism into death, in order that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life.

riversident@Romans:6:5 @ For if we have grown into union with him by the likeness of his death, surely we shall be united with him by the likeness of his resurrection.

riversident@Romans:6:6 @ For we know this, that our old-time humanity was crucified with him, in order that the sinful body might be made powerless, that we might no longer be slaves of sin.

riversident@Romans:6:8 @ But if we died with Christ we believe that we shall live with him,

riversident@Romans:6:9 @ knowing that Christ, after being raised from the dead, dies no more; death no more reigns over him.

riversident@Romans:6:10 @ For the death that he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life that he lives, he lives to God.

riversident@Romans:6:12 @ Do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you will obey its lusts,

riversident@Romans:6:15 @ What then? May we sin because we are not under law, but under grace? Never.

riversident@Romans:6:16 @ Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves as servants intending obedience, you are the servants of the one you obey, whether of sin, resulting in death, or of obedience, resulting in righteousness?

riversident@Romans:6:17 @ Thanks be to God that though you were slaves of sin you became obedient from the heart to the type of teaching in which you were instructed.

riversident@Romans:6:19 @ I am speaking humanly on account of the weakness of your human nature. As you did present your members as servants to impurity and to lawlessness to do lawlessness, so now you have presented your members as servants to righteousness for holy living.

riversident@Romans:6:21 @ What fruit did you have then? Fruit of which you are now ashamed; for the end of those things is death.

riversident@Romans:6:23 @ For the wages of sin is death, but the gracious gift of God is life eternal in Christ Jesus our Lord.

riversident@Romans:7:1 @ ARE you ignorant, brethren, for I am speaking to those who know law, that the Law rules over a person while he is living?

riversident@Romans:7:3 @ Therefore while her husband is living she is called an adulteress if she becomes another man's. But if her husband dies she is free from the law, so that she is not an adulteress when she becomes another man's.

riversident@Romans:7:4 @ So, my brethren, you were made dead to the Law through the body of Christ, that you might become wedded to another, to him who was raised from the dead, that we might bear fruit to God.

riversident@Romans:7:5 @ For when we were in the flesh the sinful passions that arise through the Law were active in our members, so that we bore fruit to death.

riversident@Romans:7:6 @ But now the Law has been made inoperative on us, since we have died to that by which we were held, so that we serve in newness of the spirit and not in oldness of the letter.

riversident@Romans:7:7 @ What shall we say then? Is the Law sin? Never. But I should not have come to know sin except through the Law. I should not have known lust if the Law had not said, "Thou shalt not lust."

riversident@Romans:7:10 @ and the commandment which meant life was found to mean death.

riversident@Romans:7:13 @ Did then what is good become death to me? Never. But sin, that it might appear sin, worked death in me through the good, in order that it might become beyond measure sinful.

riversident@Romans:7:14 @ For we know that the Law is spiritual; but I am fleshly, sold under sin.

riversident@Romans:7:15 @ For what I am doing I do not understand. For not what I choose is what I practice, but what I hate, this I do.

riversident@Romans:7:16 @ But if I do what I do not choose, I agree with the law that it is right.

riversident@Romans:7:17 @ And now it is no longer I that do it, but the Sin that dwells in me.

riversident@Romans:7:21 @ I find then this rule, when I choose to do the right, that evil is present with me.

riversident@Romans:7:24 @ Wretched man that I am! who will deliver me from this body of death?

riversident@Romans:8:1 @ THERE is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus.

riversident@Romans:8:2 @ For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has freed you from the Law of sin and death.

riversident@Romans:8:3 @ For, what was impossible for the Law, because it was weak through the flesh \'97 God, sending his own Son in the form of sinful flesh and for sin, condemned the sin that is in the flesh,

riversident@Romans:8:4 @ so that the righteousness required by the Law might be fulfilled in us who live not according to the flesh, but according to the spirit.

riversident@Romans:8:6 @ Fleshly mindedness is death, but spiritual mindedness is life and peace.

riversident@Romans:8:9 @ But you are not in the flesh, but in the spirit, if the Spirit of God dwells in you. If any one has not the Spirit of Christ, that man is not his.

riversident@Romans:8:13 @ for if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the practices of the body, you will live.

riversident@Romans:8:15 @ For you did not receive a spirit of bondage leading again to fear, but you received a spirit of sonship, in which we cry, Abba, Father.

riversident@Romans:8:16 @ The Spirit itself witnesses with our spirits that we are children of God.

riversident@Romans:8:17 @ And if children, we are also heirs \'97 heirs of God, joint heirs with Christ, since we suffer with him that we may also be glorified with him.

riversident@Romans:8:18 @ For I estimate that the sufferings of this present time amount to nothing in comparison with the glory that is to be revealed for us.

riversident@Romans:8:19 @ For the earnest expectation of the creation is waiting for the revelation of the sons of God.

riversident@Romans:8:20 @ For the creation was made subject to folly not willingly, but for the sake of him who subjected it, in hope,

riversident@Romans:8:21 @ because the creation itself will be freed from the slavery of decay into the glorious freedom of the children of God.

riversident@Romans:8:22 @ For we know that all the creation groans in the pangs of childbirth until now.

riversident@Romans:8:23 @ And not the creation alone, but we ourselves also who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, groan within ourselves in expectation of the sonship, the liberation of our bodies.

riversident@Romans:8:24 @ For we are saved by hope; but hope that is seen is not hope, for what any one sees, why does he hope for?

riversident@Romans:8:25 @ But if we hope for what we do not see, we patiently wait for it.

riversident@Romans:8:26 @ Thus also the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit itself intercedes for us with sighs beyond words.

riversident@Romans:8:27 @ And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because he intercedes for the holy according to the will of God.

riversident@Romans:8:28 @ We know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose.

riversident@Romans:8:29 @ For those whom he foreknew he also predetermined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the first-born among many brethren.

riversident@Romans:8:31 @ What then shall we say to this? If God is for us, who is against us?

riversident@Romans:8:34 @ Who is there to condemn? Christ Jesus died, or rather was raised, and he is on the right hand of God interceding for us.

riversident@Romans:8:35 @ Who shall separate us from Christ's love? Shall trial or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?

riversident@Romans:8:38 @ For I am persuaded that neither death nor life nor angels nor archangels, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers,

riversident@Romans:8:39 @ nor height nor depth nor any other created thing will be able to separate us from God's love in Christ Jesus our Lord.

riversident@Romans:9:2 @ that I have great grief and unceasing pain in my heart.

riversident@Romans:9:5 @ whose are the fathers and from whom by physical descent the Christ came. God who is over all be blessed through the ages! Amen.

riversident@Romans:9:6 @ Not that God's word has failed. For not all who are of Israel are Israel;

riversident@Romans:9:8 @ That is, not the physical descendants are children, but the children of the promise are counted for descendants.

riversident@Romans:9:9 @ For the wording of the promise was, "At this time next year I will come and Sarah shall have a son."

riversident@Romans:9:10 @ And not only so, but when Rebecca was about to bear children to our father Isaac,

riversident@Romans:9:11 @ though the same man was father of both children and they were not yet born and had done nothing good or bad, in order that the purpose of God according to his choice might stand, not according to their works, but according to his call,

riversident@Romans:9:13 @ In the same way it is written, "Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated."

riversident@Romans:9:14 @ What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness on God's part? Never.

riversident@Romans:9:20 @ But who are you, O man, who are answering back to God? Does the thing that is moulded say to the moulder, "Why have you made me so?"

riversident@Romans:9:22 @ What if God, choosing to exhibit his wrath and to make known what he can do, bore in long patience the vessels of wrath made for destruction,

riversident@Romans:9:30 @ What shall we say then? That Gentiles who did not pursue righteousness obtained righteousness, the righteousness of faith,

riversident@Romans:9:31 @ but Israel pursuing after the Law of righteousness did not attain to the Law.

riversident@Romans:9:32 @ Why? Because they pursued it not by faith, but as it were by works. They stumbled over that stumbling stone,

riversident@Romans:10:1 @ BRETHREN, the desire of my heart and my prayer to God for them is for their salvation.

riversident@Romans:10:2 @ For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not an intelligent one.

riversident@Romans:10:5 @ For Moses writes that he who does the righteousness of the Law shall live by it.

riversident@Romans:10:6 @ But the righteousness of faith says, "Do not say in your heart, 'Who shall ascend into heaven?' that is, to bring Christ down \'97 "

riversident@Romans:10:7 @ or, 'Who shall descend into the abyss?' " \'97 that is, to bring up Christ from the dead.

riversident@Romans:10:8 @ But what does it say? "The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart" \'97 that is, the word of faith which we are proclaiming,

riversident@Romans:10:9 @ that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead you will be saved.

riversident@Romans:10:10 @ For with the heart a man believes and becomes righteous, and with the mouth he confesses and attains salvation.

riversident@Romans:10:18 @ But I say, it cannot be true that they have not heard, can it? On the contrary, "Their sound has gone out into all the earth and their words to the ends of the world."

riversident@Romans:10:19 @ I say, it cannot be that Israel did not know, can it? First Moses says, "I will excite you to jealousy by what is not a nation and by a foolish nation I will provoke you to anger."

riversident@Romans:11:1 @ I SAY then, can it be that God has repudiated his people? Never. For I am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

riversident@Romans:11:2 @ God has not repudiated his people whom he foreknew. Do you not know what the Scripture says in the story of Elijah, how he prays to God against Israel?

riversident@Romans:11:4 @ But what was the divine response? "I have left to myself seven thousand men who have not knelt to Baal."

riversident@Romans:11:5 @ So at this present time there is a remnant according to a gracious selection.

riversident@Romans:11:7 @ What then? Israel has not found what it is seeking, but the chosen have found it. And the rest have been made dull,

riversident@Romans:11:11 @ I say, then, have they stumbled just in order that they may fall? Never. But by their fall salvation comes to the Gentiles so as to arouse the emulation of the Jews.

riversident@Romans:11:12 @ If their fall is the riches of the world and their loss the riches of the Gentiles, how much more will their full restoration be!

riversident@Romans:11:14 @ if in any way I may arouse to emulation my own kindred and save some of them \'97

riversident@Romans:11:15 @ if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world, what will their welcome back be but life from the dead?

riversident@Romans:11:19 @ You will say then, "Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in."

riversident@Romans:11:21 @ For if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you.

riversident@Romans:11:24 @ For God is able to graft them back. For if you were cut from your natural stock, a wild olive tree, and were grafted, contrary to nature, into a good olive tree, how much more will the natural branches be grafted into their own olive tree!

riversident@Romans:11:25 @ I would not have you ignorant, brethren, of this mystery, that you may not be self-conceited, because stupidity in a measure has come upon Israel until the full number of Gentiles comes in,

riversident@Romans:11:28 @ According to the good news they are enemies for your sake, but according to the promise they are beloved for their fathers' sake.

riversident@Romans:11:31 @ so they have now been disobedient in your time of mercy, that they too may now obtain mercy.

riversident@Romans:11:32 @ For God has shut up all in unbelief in order that he may have mercy on all.

riversident@Romans:12:1 @ I BEG you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living and holy sacrifice, pleasing to God \'97 your rational worship.

riversident@Romans:12:2 @ Do not follow the fashions of this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your minds so as to recognize what is the good and pleasing and perfect will of God.

riversident@Romans:12:9 @ Let your love be without pretense. Abhor what is evil; cling to the good.

riversident@Romans:12:12 @ rejoicing in hope, patient in trial, constant in prayer,

riversident@Romans:12:17 @ Repay to no one evil for evil. Aim at what is honorable in the sight of all men.

riversident@Romans:12:18 @ If possible, so far as depends on you, live at peace with all men.

riversident@Romans:12:19 @ Do not revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God's wrath. For it is written, "Vengeance is mine; I will repay, says the Lord."

riversident@Romans:13:2 @ So he who resists the authority opposes the arrangement of God. Those who resist will bring on themselves condemnation.

riversident@Romans:13:3 @ For rulers are not a terror to good deeds, but to bad. Do you wish not to fear the authority? Do what is good and you will have praise from it.

riversident@Romans:13:4 @ For he is a servant of God to promote your good. But if you are doing evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword to no purpose. For he is God's servant to inflict his wrath on him who practices evil.

riversident@Romans:13:5 @ Therefore we must be obedient, not only because of the punishment but as a matter of conscience.

riversident@Romans:13:6 @ For this reason also you pay tribute. For they are God's officers attending to this very thing.

riversident@Romans:13:9 @ For the commandments, "Thou shalt not commit adultery," "Thou shalt not commit murder," "Thou shalt not steal," "Thou shalt not covet," and any other that there may be, are summed up in this: "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself."

riversident@Romans:13:11 @ Live thus because you know this crisis, for it is already time for you to awake from sleep. For now our salvation is nearer than when we became believers.

riversident@Romans:13:14 @ But put on the Lord Jesus Christ and make no provision for gratifying physical passions.

riversident@Romans:14:2 @ One man believes in eating all things. The weak man eats vegetables.

riversident@Romans:14:3 @ The man who eats is not to despise the one who does not eat, and he who does not eat is not to judge the one who eats. For God has accepted him.

riversident@Romans:14:6 @ He who regards the day regards it to the Lord and he who eats eats to the Lord, for he gives thanks to God. And he who does not eat abstains for the Lord and gives thanks to God.

riversident@Romans:14:9 @ For to this end Christ died and lived again, in order that he might be Lord both of the dead and of the living.

riversident@Romans:14:10 @ But you, why do you judge your brother? Or you, why do you treat your brother with contempt? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of God.

riversident@Romans:14:13 @ Therefore let us no longer judge one another, but let us rather decide not to put a stumbling block in a brother's way, or anything to trip him up.

riversident@Romans:14:14 @ I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is defiling in itself. But to one who thinks anything to be defiling it is defiling.

riversident@Romans:14:16 @ Do not let what is good to you be spoken of as evil.

riversident@Romans:14:19 @ Therefore, let us seek for what makes for peace and our mutual upbuilding.

riversident@Romans:14:20 @ Do not for the sake of food break down the work of God. All things are pure, but anything is evil to the man who eats it with a feeling of doing wrong.

riversident@Romans:14:21 @ It is noble not to eat meat or to drink wine or to do anything over which your brother stumbles.

riversident@Romans:14:22 @ The faith that you have, have to yourself before God. Blessed is the man who does not condemn himself for what he allows himself.

riversident@Romans:14:23 @ He who has doubts and still eats stands condemned, because he is not acting from faith. But whatever does not spring from faith is sin.

riversident@Romans:15:4 @ All that was written of old was written for our instruction, in order that by patience and by the encouragement of the Scriptures we may have hope.

riversident@Romans:15:5 @ May the God of patience and encouragement grant to you to have harmony with one another, in the manner of Christ Jesus,

riversident@Romans:15:6 @ so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

riversident@Romans:15:8 @ For I say that Christ became a servant of circumcision for the sake of God's truth, in order to confirm the promises given to the fathers

riversident@Romans:15:9 @ and that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy, as it is written, "For this will I confess thee among the Gentiles and sing to thy name."

riversident@Romans:15:13 @ May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope through the power of the Holy Spirit!

riversident@Romans:15:14 @ I am persuaded, my brethren \'97 yes, I myself \'97 regarding you, that you are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able to instruct one another.

riversident@Romans:15:15 @ But I have written rather boldly to you, partly to remind you, because of the grace given to me from God,

riversident@Romans:15:16 @ that I may be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles, in priestly service of the good news of God, in order that the offering of the Gentiles may be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

riversident@Romans:15:18 @ For I will not venture to speak except of what Christ has done through me to promote obedience of Gentiles, by word and deed,

riversident@Romans:15:19 @ through the power of signs and wonders, by the power of the Holy Spirit, so that from Jerusalem around to Illyricum, I have fully proclaimed the good news of Christ,

riversident@Romans:15:20 @ being ambitious to tell the good news where Christ has not been named, so that I might not build on any other man's foundation,

riversident@Romans:15:24 @ while making a journey to Spain, I hope to see you as I pass through and to be furthered on my journey by you, after first partially satisfying my desire of being with you.

riversident@Romans:15:29 @ And I know that when I come to you it will be in the fullness of the blessing of Christ.

riversident@Romans:15:31 @ that I may be delivered from the unbelievers in Judaea and that my service in Jerusalem may be pleasing to the holy,

riversident@Romans:15:32 @ that I may come to you with joy by the will of God and be refreshed with you.

riversident@Romans:16:2 @ that you may receive her in the Lord in a way worthy of the holy, and help her in any matter in which she may need you. For she has been a provider for many, myself included.

riversident@Romans:16:8 @ Give my greetings to Ampliatus my beloved in the Lord.

riversident@Romans:16:10 @ Give my greetings to Apelles, that tested man in Christ. Give my greetings to the household of Aristobulus.

riversident@Romans:16:19 @ For your obedience has come to the knowledge of all men. Therefore I rejoice over you, but I wish you to be wise regarding what is good, and simple in regard to what is evil.

riversident@Romans:16:20 @ The God of peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you!

riversident@Romans:16:21 @ Timothy, my fellow worker, sends his greeting, and so do Lucius and Jason and Sosipater, who are of my race.

riversident@Romans:16:25 @ To him who is able to make you strong according to the good news which I bear, and the proclamation of Jesus Christ, and according to the revelation of the mystery kept secret through ages,

riversident@1Corinthians:1:3 @ Grace to you and peace from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ!

riversident@1Corinthians:1:5 @ that you are rich in him in everything, in readiness of speech and in all knowledge,

riversident@1Corinthians:1:6 @ so that my testimony to Christ has been confirmed among you

riversident@1Corinthians:1:7 @ and so that you are not lacking in any gift while waiting for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed.

riversident@1Corinthians:1:9 @ God is faithful, and it is by him that you have been called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

riversident@1Corinthians:1:11 @ For it has been told me regarding you, brethren, by Chloe's people, that there are dissensions among you.

riversident@1Corinthians:1:12 @ I mean that each of you is saying, "I belong to Paul," "I belong to Apollos," "I belong to Cephas," or, "I belong to Christ."

riversident@1Corinthians:1:14 @ I am thankful that I baptized no one of you except Crispus and Gaius,

riversident@1Corinthians:1:15 @ so that no one can say that you were baptized in my name.

riversident@1Corinthians:1:16 @ I baptized also the household of Stephanas. Beyond that I do not know that I baptized any one else.

riversident@1Corinthians:1:17 @ For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to proclaim the good news \'97 not in wisdom of words, that the cross of Christ might not be emptied of meaning.

riversident@1Corinthians:1:20 @ Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this world? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?

riversident@1Corinthians:1:21 @ For when in the wisdom of God the world by its wisdom did not come to know God, God was pleased to save through the foolishness of our proclamation those who believe.

riversident@1Corinthians:1:26 @ Consider your own call, brethren, that not many wise, humanly speaking, not many powerful, not many high-born have been called.

riversident@1Corinthians:1:28 @ and God has chosen the low-born things and the things of no account, the things that are not, to defeat the things that are,

riversident@1Corinthians:1:29 @ that no human being may boast in God's presence.

riversident@1Corinthians:1:31 @ so that, as it is written, "Let him who boasts boast in the Lord."

riversident@1Corinthians:2:4 @ and my speech and my proclamation were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but with spiritual and powerful proof,

riversident@1Corinthians:2:5 @ that your faith might not depend on the wisdom of man but on the power of God.

riversident@1Corinthians:2:6 @ We do speak wisdom among the mature, but a wisdom not of this world nor of the defeated rulers of this world.

riversident@1Corinthians:2:9 @ But as it is written, "What eye has not seen and what ear has not heard and what has not entered human mind, God has prepared for those who love him."

riversident@1Corinthians:2:11 @ For who of men knows what pertains to a man except the spirit of the man which is in him. Just so no one knows what pertains to God except the Spirit of God.

riversident@1Corinthians:2:12 @ But we did not receive the spirit of the world, but the Spirit that is from God, so that we know the gracious gifts of God.

riversident@1Corinthians:3:5 @ What then is Apollos? What is Paul? Servants through whom you were led to faith, as the Lord granted to each of us.

riversident@1Corinthians:3:6 @ I planted, Apollos watered, but God made the seed grow.

riversident@1Corinthians:3:7 @ So then neither is he who planted anything nor he who watered, but God who makes the seed grow.

riversident@1Corinthians:3:10 @ According to the grace of God granted to me, as a wise master-builder I have laid a foundation and another is building on it. But let each be careful how he builds on it.

riversident@1Corinthians:3:11 @ For no one can lay any other foundation than that which has been laid, which is Jesus Christ.

riversident@1Corinthians:3:12 @ If any one builds on this foundation gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, straw \'97

riversident@1Corinthians:3:13 @ every one's work will become manifest. For the day will show it, because it will be revealed in fire and the fire will test each one's work, of what quality it is.

riversident@1Corinthians:3:16 @ Do you not know that you are God's temple and the Spirit of God dwells in you?

riversident@1Corinthians:3:19 @ For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God's sight. For it is written, "He catches the wise in their own craftiness,"

riversident@1Corinthians:3:22 @ Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or things present or things to come \'97 all are yours

riversident@1Corinthians:4:2 @ Moreover, in the case of stewards it is required that a man be found faithful.

riversident@1Corinthians:4:4 @ For I am not conscious of any wrong, but I am not proved by that to be faultless. The Lord is my judge.

riversident@1Corinthians:4:6 @ All this, brethren, I have applied to myself and Apollos for your sake, that you may learn the maxim, "Nothing beyond what is written," and may not be puffed up in partisanship for one against the other.

riversident@1Corinthians:4:7 @ For who gives you superiority? What have you that you did not receive? Why are you boasting as if you had not received it?

riversident@1Corinthians:4:8 @ You are already fully satisfied. You have already become rich. You have become kings without us. Would that you had become kings so that we might be kings with you!

riversident@1Corinthians:4:9 @ For it seems to me that God has set us apostles out last of all as men doomed to death, that we may be a spectacle to the world and to angels and to men.

riversident@1Corinthians:4:11 @ Up to this present hour we are hungry and thirsty and naked and beaten. We wander about

riversident@1Corinthians:4:13 @ when slandered we entreat. We have come to be, as it were, the sweepings of the world, the riffraff of all things up to now.

riversident@1Corinthians:4:15 @ For if you have ten thousand teachers in Christ, still you have not many fathers. For I was your father in Christ Jesus through the good news.

riversident@1Corinthians:4:16 @ So I beg you to be imitators of me.

riversident@1Corinthians:4:18 @ Some persons have become puffed up, thinking that I am not coming to you.

riversident@1Corinthians:5:1 @ IT is generally reported that there is unchastity among you, and such unchastity as is not even among the Gentiles, so that a man has his father's wife!

riversident@1Corinthians:5:2 @ And you are puffed up with pride and have not rather grieved and taken steps to expel from among you the doer of this deed!

riversident@1Corinthians:5:5 @ I decided to deliver over such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord.

riversident@1Corinthians:5:6 @ Your boasting is unbecoming. Do you not know that a little yeast sets the whole mass fermenting?

riversident@1Corinthians:5:7 @ Cleanse out the old yeast that you may be new dough, free from yeast, as indeed you are. For Christ, our Passover, has been sacrificed.

riversident@1Corinthians:5:9 @ I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with unchaste people,

riversident@1Corinthians:5:10 @ certainly not meaning the unchaste of this world, or the covetous or extortionate or idolaters, since in that case you would have to leave the world.

riversident@1Corinthians:5:11 @ But now I write to you not to associate with any one who is called a brother, if he is unchaste or covetous or idolatrous or abusive or drunken or extortionate \'97 not even to eat with such a one.

riversident@1Corinthians:5:12 @ For what business of mine is it to judge outsiders? Is it not for you to judge those inside?

riversident@1Corinthians:6:2 @ Do you not know that the holy are going to judge the world? If the world is to be judged by you, are you unfit for the most trivial cases?

riversident@1Corinthians:6:3 @ Do you not know that we are to judge angels, to say nothing of affairs of this life?

riversident@1Corinthians:6:5 @ I say this to your shame. Is it true that there is among you no one wise enough to judge between a man and his brother,

riversident@1Corinthians:6:6 @ but brother goes to law with brother and that before unbelievers?

riversident@1Corinthians:6:7 @ Now this is an utter failure on your part that you have lawsuits with one another. Why not rather let yourselves be wronged? Why not rather be defrauded?

riversident@1Corinthians:6:8 @ But you yourselves practice wrongs and frauds \'97 and that upon your brethren.

riversident@1Corinthians:6:9 @ Do you not know that unrighteous people will not inherit the kingdom of God? Make no mistake, neither the unchaste, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor those who practice unnatural vices,

riversident@1Corinthians:6:15 @ Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never!

riversident@1Corinthians:6:16 @ Do you not know that he who unites himself to a prostitute is one body with her? For God says, "The two shall become one flesh."

riversident@1Corinthians:6:18 @ Shun unchastity. Every other sin that a man does is apart from the body, but the unchaste sins against his own body.

riversident@1Corinthians:6:19 @ Do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God, and that you are not your own?

riversident@1Corinthians:7:1 @ WITH reference to the matters you wrote of: It is an excellent thing for a man not to touch a woman.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:5 @ Do not deprive one another, unless by agreement for a time, that you may have freedom for prayer, and again come together. You must not let Satan tempt you through your lack of self-control.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:7 @ I wish that every one were just as I am. But each has his own gift from God, one in one way and one in another.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:10 @ To the married I command \'97 yet not I, but the Lord \'97 that the wife is not to leave her husband

riversident@1Corinthians:7:20 @ Let each stay in that condition in which he was called.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:24 @ Let each one, brethren, stay in that condition in which he was called, close to God.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:26 @ I think then that this is an excellent thing on account of the present distress \'97 that it is an excellent thing for a person to be unmarried.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:29 @ But this I say, brethren: The time is shortened. For what remains let those who have wives be as if they had none,

riversident@1Corinthians:7:34 @ and his interest is divided. So the unmarried woman or the maiden is anxious about the things of the Lord, that she may be holy in body and spirit. But the married woman is anxious about the things of the world \'97 how she may please her husband.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:36 @ If any one thinks that he is acting unbecomingly toward his virgin, if she is ripe for marriage and there is need, let him do what he will. He does not sin. Let them marry.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:40 @ But in my opinion she is happier if she stays as she is. And I think that I have the Spirit of God.

riversident@1Corinthians:8:1 @ NOW as to things that have been sacrificed to idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.

riversident@1Corinthians:8:2 @ If any one think; that he knows anything, he does not yet know as he ought to know.

riversident@1Corinthians:8:4 @ Regarding the eating of things that have been sacrificed to idols, then, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no God but one.

riversident@1Corinthians:8:6 @ still to us there is one God the Father, of whom are all things and we for him, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and we through him.

riversident@1Corinthians:8:7 @ But all have not this knowledge. Some, having been accustomed to idols up to the present time, eat the food as a sacrifice to an idol, and their conscience being weak is stained.

riversident@1Corinthians:8:8 @ But food does not bring us near to God, for neither do we lose by not eating nor gain by eating.

riversident@1Corinthians:8:9 @ But be careful that this power of yours may not become a stumbling block to the weak.

riversident@1Corinthians:8:10 @ For if any one sees you who have knowledge reclining at table in an idol's temple, will not the conscience of that weak one be emboldened to eat things that have been sacrificed to idols?

riversident@1Corinthians:8:13 @ Therefore if food makes my brother stumble I will not eat meat while the world stands, for fear of making my brother stumble.

riversident@1Corinthians:9:4 @ Have we not the right to eat and drink?

riversident@1Corinthians:9:7 @ Who ever serves as a soldier and supplies his own pay and rations? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat the fruit of it? Who keeps a flock and does not drink any of the milk of the flock?

riversident@1Corinthians:9:11 @ If we sowed for you things of the spirit, is it a great matter if we reap your things of the flesh?

riversident@1Corinthians:9:13 @ Do you not know that those who do the work of the Temple eat the things that come from the Temple, and those who minister at the altar share with the altar?

riversident@1Corinthians:9:14 @ So the Lord has directed that those who proclaim the good news shall have their living from the good news.

riversident@1Corinthians:9:15 @ But I have used none of these rights and I am not writing this in order that it may be done in my case. For it would be better for me to die \'97 No one shall make my boast an empty one!

riversident@1Corinthians:9:18 @ What then is my reward? That in telling the good news I make the good news free, and do not take full advantage of my rights in the good news.

riversident@1Corinthians:9:19 @ For though I am free from all I have enslaved myself to all that I may gain the more.

riversident@1Corinthians:9:23 @ I do all things for the sake of the good news that I may become a partner with it.

riversident@1Corinthians:9:24 @ Do you not know that those who run in a stadium all run, yet one gets the prize? Run so as to win.

riversident@1Corinthians:9:27 @ On the contrary, I maul and master my body so that I may not, after preaching to others, become myself unable to stand the test.

riversident@1Corinthians:10:1 @ I DO not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, that our fathers were all under the cloud and all passed through the sea

riversident@1Corinthians:10:3 @ and all ate the same spiritual food

riversident@1Corinthians:10:4 @ and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank from a spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was Christ.

riversident@1Corinthians:10:6 @ These things happened as warnings for us, that we may not be eager for evil things as they were eager.

riversident@1Corinthians:10:7 @ Be not idolaters, as some of them were, as it is written, "The people sat down to eat and drink and rose up to dance."

riversident@1Corinthians:10:9 @ Nor let us try the patience of the Lord, as some of them tried him and were destroyed by serpents.

riversident@1Corinthians:10:12 @ So let him who thinks that he is standing beware of falling.

riversident@1Corinthians:10:13 @ No trial has taken you but what belongs to human nature. God is faithful and he will not let you be tried beyond your power, but will make, with the trial, a way of escape so that you can endure it.

riversident@1Corinthians:10:14 @ Therefore, my beloved, shun idolatry.

riversident@1Corinthians:10:15 @ I speak as to thoughtful men. Judge for yourselves what I am saying.

riversident@1Corinthians:10:18 @ Look at Israel according to the flesh; are not those who eat of the sacrifice partakers of the altar?

riversident@1Corinthians:10:19 @ What then am I saying? That meat sacrificed to idols is anything or that an idol is anything?

riversident@1Corinthians:10:20 @ But I say that what they sacrifice they sacrifice to demons and not to God. And I would not have you become partakers with demons.

riversident@1Corinthians:10:25 @ Everything that is sold in market eat, raising no questions of conscience.

riversident@1Corinthians:10:27 @ If any one of the unbelievers invites you and you wish to go, eat whatever is set before you, raising no questions of conscience.

riversident@1Corinthians:10:28 @ But if any one says to you, "This is meat that has been sacrificed," do not eat, for the sake of him who mentioned it and for conscience' sake \'97

riversident@1Corinthians:10:30 @ If I partake with thanksgiving, why am I denounced for that for which I give thanks?

riversident@1Corinthians:10:31 @ Therefore, if you eat or if you drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

riversident@1Corinthians:10:33 @ as I also in all things accommodate myself to all men, not seeking my own interest but that of the many, in order that they may be saved.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:1 @ IMITATE me as I imitate Christ.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:3 @ I wish you to know that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of a woman is her husband, and the head of Christ is God.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:14 @ Does not Nature herself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him,

riversident@1Corinthians:11:15 @ but that if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her? Because the hair is given to her for a covering.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:18 @ For, in the first place, I hear that when you assemble as a church there are parties among you, and to some extent I believe it.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:19 @ For there must be parties among you in order that it may become plain who are worthy of approval.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:20 @ When, therefore, you assemble it is not possible to eat the Lord's supper.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:21 @ For in eating each one tries to get his own supper first and one is hungry and another is drunken.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:22 @ Have you not homes to eat and drink in? Or do you mean to show contempt for the church of God and put to shame those who have no homes? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you? For this I do not praise you.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:23 @ For I received from the Lord that which I passed on to you that the Lord Jesus, on the night in which he was betrayed, took bread,

riversident@1Corinthians:11:26 @ For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup you proclaim the Lord's death, until he comes.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:27 @ Therefore, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord unworthily will be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:28 @ But let a man examine himself and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:29 @ For he who eats and drinks eats and drinks condemnation to himself, if he does not honor the Lord's body.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:32 @ But when we are judged by the Lord, we are disciplined in order that we may not be condemned along with the world.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:33 @ So then, my brethren, when you assemble to eat, wait for one another.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:34 @ If any one is hungry, let him eat at home, that your assembling may not bring condemnation on you. The other matters I will arrange when I come.

riversident@1Corinthians:12:2 @ For you know that when you were Gentiles you were led away after the dumb idols just as might happen.

riversident@1Corinthians:12:3 @ Therefore I inform you that no one speaking in the Spirit of God says, "Jesus is accursed," and no one can say, "Jesus is Lord," except in the Holy Spirit.

riversident@1Corinthians:12:7 @ To each one is given some manifestation of the Spirit for what is profitable.

riversident@1Corinthians:12:10 @ to another works of power, to another prophecy, to another the discernment of spirits, to another varieties of tongues, to another interpretation of tongues.

riversident@1Corinthians:12:15 @ If the foot says, "Because I am not a hand I am not of the body," it is not for that reason not of the body.

riversident@1Corinthians:12:16 @ And if the ear says, "Because I am not an eye I am not of the body," it is not for that reason not of the body.

riversident@1Corinthians:12:22 @ Indeed, much more those members of the body that seem to be the weaker are necessary,

riversident@1Corinthians:12:23 @ and those that we deem the less honorable parts of the body we surround with greater honor and our uncomely parts have additional dignity,

riversident@1Corinthians:12:24 @ while our comely parts have no need. But God has organized the body, giving greater honor to the part that lacks,

riversident@1Corinthians:12:25 @ that there may be no discord in the body, but that the members may have a common concern for one another.

riversident@1Corinthians:12:28 @ God placed some in the church first as apostles, secondly as prophets, thirdly as teachers, then miracle-workers, then those with gifts of healing, helpers, administrators, speakers of different kinds of tongues.

riversident@1Corinthians:12:31 @ Seek earnestly for the greater gifts; and yet I will show you a way that surpasses all.

riversident@1Corinthians:13:3 @ And if I distribute all that I have to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.

riversident@1Corinthians:13:10 @ but when the perfect comes what is in part will become useless.

riversident@1Corinthians:13:12 @ For as yet we are looking at puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then face to face. As yet I know in part, but then I shall know fully, as I have been fully known.

riversident@1Corinthians:13:13 @ But now faith, hope, love \'97 these three \'97 endure. And the greatest of these is love.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:3 @ But he who prophesies speaks to men what will build up, encourage, and comfort.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:5 @ I wish you all to speak with tongues, but I wish more to have you prophesy. He who prophesies is greater than he who speaks with tongues, unless he interprets so that the church may receive upbuilding.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:6 @ Now, brethren, if I come to you speaking with tongues, what benefit will I be to you unless I speak to you in a revelation or in knowledge or in prophecy or in teaching.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:7 @ Inanimate things that give a sound, such as the flute or harp, \'97 unless they give a distinction in the sounds, how will it be known what is being played on flute or harp?

riversident@1Corinthians:14:8 @ If the trumpet gives a dubious sound, who will prepare himself for battle?

riversident@1Corinthians:14:9 @ And so you, if you do not give by the tongue words easy to understand, how will it be known what is said? For you will be talking into the air.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:12 @ And so you, since you are eager for spiritual gifts, seek to abound in what will build up the church.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:15 @ What then? I will pray with the spirit and with the understanding. I will sing with the spirit and with the understanding.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:16 @ If you thank God with the spirit, how shall he who fills the place of the ordinary man say Amen to your thanksgiving? For he does not know what you are saying.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:18 @ I thank God that I speak with tongues more than any of you.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:19 @ But in church I would rather speak five words with my understanding so as to instruct others, than to speak ten thousand words in a tongue.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:23 @ If therefore the whole church assembles and all speak with tongues and ordinary men or unbelievers come in, will they not say that you are insane?

riversident@1Corinthians:14:25 @ the secrets of his heart become manifest, and so falling on his face he worships God, declaring that God is really among you.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:26 @ What then, brethren? When you assemble each one has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has a tongue, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for the upbuilding of character.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:27 @ If any one speaks with a tongue, let it be two, or at the most three, at a time and in turn and let one interpret.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:30 @ If a revelation comes to another who is sitting by, let the first become silent.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:31 @ For you can all prophesy one by one so that all may learn and all be encouraged.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:35 @ If they wish to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home. For it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in church.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:37 @ If any one thinks himself a prophet or spiritual, let him recognize that what I am writing to you is the command of the Lord.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:2 @ through which also you are being saved, if you hold fast the message that I announced to you, unless your faith was thoughtless.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:3 @ For among the first things I passed on to you what I had received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,

riversident@1Corinthians:15:4 @ and that he was buried, and that he was raised on the third day, according to the Scriptures,

riversident@1Corinthians:15:5 @ and that he was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve,

riversident@1Corinthians:15:6 @ then he was seen by more than five hundred brethren at once, of whom the most are still living, but some have fallen asleep,

riversident@1Corinthians:15:10 @ But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not without result, but I labored more abundantly than all of them, yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:12 @ But if Christ is proclaimed \'97 that he has been raised from the dead \'97 how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?

riversident@1Corinthians:15:14 @ If Christ has not been raised, then our proclamation is an empty thing and your faith is an empty thing.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:15 @ And we are found false witnesses of God because we testified regarding God that he raised up Christ, whom he did not raise if the dead are not raised.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:21 @ For since by a man came death, by a man also came resurrection of the dead.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:23 @ But each in his own order. The first-fruit is Christ, then those who are Christ's, at his coming.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:24 @ Then will be the end when he delivers up the kingship to God his Father, when he has defeated every archangel and authority and power.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:26 @ The last enemy to be defeated will be death.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:27 @ For "he subjected all things under his feet." But when it says, "all things have been subjected," it is plain that it means all things except God who subjected all things to him.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:28 @ But when all things have been subjected to him, then the Son himself will be subjected to him who subjected all things to him, that God may be all in all.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:29 @ Then what shall they do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead do not rise at all, why are they then baptized for them?

riversident@1Corinthians:15:32 @ If, humanly speaking, I fought wild beasts at Ephesus, what is my gain? If the dead do not rise, "let us eat and drink, for to-morrow we die."

riversident@1Corinthians:15:33 @ Do not be led astray; "bad associations corrupt good morals."

riversident@1Corinthians:15:35 @ But some one will say, How are the dead raised, and with what sort of bodies do they come?

riversident@1Corinthians:15:36 @ Thoughtless man! What you yourself sow does not come to life unless it dies.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:37 @ And what you sow is not the body that will come, but a mere grain, perhaps of wheat or of something else.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:52 @ in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet-call. For the trumpet will sound and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be transformed.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:54 @ When this perishable has clothed itself with imperishability and this mortal has clothed itself with immortality, then will come to pass the word that is written, "Death has been swallowed up in victory.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:55 @ O Death, where is thy victory? O Death, where is thy sting?"

riversident@1Corinthians:15:56 @ The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the Law.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:58 @ So then, my beloved brethren, be firm, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord; since you know that your labor is not fruitless in the Lord.

riversident@1Corinthians:16:1 @ REGARDING the collection for the holy, as I arranged for the churches of Galatia, you must do the same.

riversident@1Corinthians:16:2 @ On the first day of the week let each of you lay up at home something according as he may be prospering, in order that no collections may be going on when I come.

riversident@1Corinthians:16:3 @ When I come, whatever persons you may approve, I will send with letters to carry your gracious gift to Jerusalem.

riversident@1Corinthians:16:6 @ and perhaps I shall make some stay with you or pass the winter with you, so that you may send me forward wherever I may be going.

riversident@1Corinthians:16:9 @ for a great and effective door has been opened to me, and there are many opponents.

riversident@1Corinthians:16:10 @ If Timothy comes, see to it that he becomes free from fear in his relations to you. For he is doing the Lord's work, just as I am.

riversident@1Corinthians:16:12 @ As to Apollos our brother, I urged him strongly to go to you with the brethren. But it was not at all his will to go now, but he will come when it is convenient.

riversident@1Corinthians:16:13 @ Watch, stand firmly in the faith, be manly, be strong,

riversident@1Corinthians:16:14 @ let all that you do be done in love.

riversident@1Corinthians:16:15 @ I beg you, brethren \'97 you know the household of Stephanas, that it is the first-fruit of Achaia and they have devoted themselves to serving the holy \'97

riversident@1Corinthians:16:17 @ I rejoice in the arrival of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus, because they made up for my lack of you.

riversident@1Corinthians:16:18 @ For they refreshed my spirit and yours. Appreciate such men.

riversident@1Corinthians:16:22 @ If any one does not love the Lord, let him be accursed! Maran atha!

riversident@2Corinthians:1:1 @ PAUL, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy the brother, to the church of God that is in Corinth with all the holy that are in all Achaia:

riversident@2Corinthians:1:2 @ Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!

riversident@2Corinthians:1:3 @ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of loving kindness and the God of all encouragement,

riversident@2Corinthians:1:4 @ who encourages us in every distress so that we may be able to encourage those who are in every distress by the encouragement by which we ourselves have been encouraged by God.

riversident@2Corinthians:1:6 @ But if we are in distress, it is for your encouragement and salvation. If we are encouraged, it is for your encouragement which is effective in the endurance of the same sufferings that we suffer.

riversident@2Corinthians:1:7 @ Our hope is strong regarding you, since we know that as you are partakers of the sufferings so you are of the encouragement.

riversident@2Corinthians:1:8 @ For we do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, regarding the distress that came on us in Asia \'97 that we were exceedingly weighed down, beyond our strength, so that we despaired even of life.

riversident@2Corinthians:1:9 @ Indeed we have the sentence of death within ourselves, that our trust may not rest on ourselves, but on God who raises the dead.

riversident@2Corinthians:1:10 @ He delivered us from such a death and will deliver, and we have hope in him that he will go on delivering,

riversident@2Corinthians:1:11 @ while you help by your prayers for us, so that from many persons thanksgiving may arise for the gift granted to us through the prayers of many for us.

riversident@2Corinthians:1:12 @ For this is what we boast of, the witness of our conscience that in holiness, and sincerity before God, not in fleshly wisdom, but in the grace of God, we have lived in the world and especially toward you.

riversident@2Corinthians:1:13 @ For we are not writing to you anything but what you read and acknowledge and I hope you will acknowledge to the end,

riversident@2Corinthians:1:14 @ as you have partly acknowledged it about us, that we are your ground of boasting and you are ours on the day of our Lord Jesus.

riversident@2Corinthians:1:15 @ With this confidence I intended to come to you first, so that you might have a second favor,

riversident@2Corinthians:1:17 @ When I was intending this, did I show fickleness? Or do I plan what I plan according to the flesh, so that I may say yes, yes, and no, no?

riversident@2Corinthians:1:23 @ I call God as a witness against my soul that in order to spare you I have not yet come to Corinth.

riversident@2Corinthians:1:24 @ Not that we are lords over your faith, but fellow workers sharing your joy, for you are standing firm in the faith.

riversident@2Corinthians:2:3 @ I am writing this very thing so that I may not come and have grief from those who ought to make me glad, for I am confident in regard to all of you that my joy is yours.

riversident@2Corinthians:2:4 @ For out of great distress and pain of heart I am writing with many tears, not that you may be grieved, but that you may know the love that I have beyond measure for you.

riversident@2Corinthians:2:7 @ so that on the contrary you should rather forgive him and encourage him, that such a one may not be swallowed up in excessive grief.

riversident@2Corinthians:2:9 @ Because for this purpose I am writing, that I may know your tested character, whether you are obedient in everything.

riversident@2Corinthians:2:10 @ To whomever you forgive anything I also forgive it, and what I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, it was for your sake in the sight of Christ,

riversident@2Corinthians:2:11 @ that Satan may not take advantage of us, for we are not ignorant of his purposes.

riversident@2Corinthians:2:16 @ To the latter an odor from death to death, to the former an odor from life to life. And who is competent for this?

riversident@2Corinthians:2:17 @ For we are not, like the most, adulterating the message of God for gain, but in sincerity, as from God, in the presence of God, we speak in Christ.

riversident@2Corinthians:3:1 @ ARE we beginning again to recommend ourselves? Do we need, as some do, letters of recommendation to you or from you?

riversident@2Corinthians:3:3 @ evidently a letter of Christ delivered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God, not on stone tablets, but on tablets that are hearts of flesh.

riversident@2Corinthians:3:5 @ Not that of ourselves we are fit to reason out anything as from ourselves, but our fitness is from God,

riversident@2Corinthians:3:7 @ If the service that brought death, engraved in letters on stones, came in glory, so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of the glory of his face \'97 that fading glory \'97

riversident@2Corinthians:3:9 @ For if the service that brought condemnation was glory, much more will the service that brings righteousness surpass in glory.

riversident@2Corinthians:3:10 @ For what was made so glorious is in a way no longer glorious compared with the glory that surpasses it.

riversident@2Corinthians:3:11 @ For if what was to be ended came in glory, much more glorious must be that which is enduring.

riversident@2Corinthians:3:12 @ With such a hope then we speak with great frankness,

riversident@2Corinthians:3:13 @ and are not like Moses, who used to put a veil over his face so that the children of Israel might not see when the vanishing glory ended;

riversident@2Corinthians:4:2 @ but we have renounced shameful secret things, not living in craftiness nor adulterating God's message, but by the openness of truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.

riversident@2Corinthians:4:4 @ in whom the god of this world has blinded the thinking of the unbelieving so that the light of the glorious good news of Christ, who is the image of God, may not shine in.

riversident@2Corinthians:4:10 @ always bearing about in our bodies the death of Jesus that the life also of Jesus may be manifest in our bodies.

riversident@2Corinthians:4:11 @ For we, though living, are always delivered up to death for Jesus' sake, that also the life of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh.

riversident@2Corinthians:4:12 @ So death works in us, but life in you.

riversident@2Corinthians:4:18 @ while we contemplate not the things that are seen, but the things unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things unseen are eternal.

riversident@2Corinthians:5:1 @ FOR we know that if this tent, our earthly home, is thrown down, we have a building of God, a home not made by hands, eternal in the heavens.

riversident@2Corinthians:5:2 @ For in this we sigh in earnest desire to put on our dwelling that comes from heaven,

riversident@2Corinthians:5:3 @ since if we put that on we shall not be found naked.

riversident@2Corinthians:5:4 @ For while we are in this tent we sigh being burdened, not that we wish to be unclothed, but to put on the other, that what is mortal may be swallowed up in life.

riversident@2Corinthians:5:6 @ So being always of good courage and knowing that while living at home in the body we are living in a foreign land away from the Lord \'97

riversident@2Corinthians:5:8 @ I say we are of good courage and wish rather to live in the land foreign to the body and be at home with the Lord.

riversident@2Corinthians:5:9 @ Therefore also we are ambitious to be pleasing to him, whether at home with him or in this foreign land.

riversident@2Corinthians:5:10 @ For we must all appear as we truly are before the judgment seat of Christ, that each may receive the award for what he has done with his body, according to his actions, whether good or bad.

riversident@2Corinthians:5:11 @ Knowing, therefore, the fear of the Lord, we are persuading men. What we are is plain to God, and I hope that it is also plain to your consciences.

riversident@2Corinthians:5:12 @ We are not recommending ourselves again to you, but giving occasion to you for boasting on our behalf, that you may have it to use against those who boast of appearances and not of heart.

riversident@2Corinthians:5:14 @ For the love of Christ impels us, convinced of this, that if one died for all, then all died,

riversident@2Corinthians:5:15 @ and he died for all that the living may no longer live for themselves, but for him who died for them and was raised again.

riversident@2Corinthians:5:17 @ So if any one is in Christ he is a new creature. The old things have passed away, they have become new.

riversident@2Corinthians:5:18 @ And all things are from God, who has reconciled us to himself through Christ and given to us the service of reconciliation \'97

riversident@2Corinthians:5:21 @ Him who knew no sin God made sin for our sake that we might become the righteousness of God in him.

riversident@2Corinthians:6:2 @ For he says, "At a favorable time I heard you and on a day of salvation I helped you." Now is a particularly favorable time, now is a day of salvation.

riversident@2Corinthians:6:3 @ We give no occasion for stumbling to any one that our service may not be blamed,

riversident@2Corinthians:6:15 @ or what harmony has Christ with Belial, or what share has a believer with an unbeliever?

riversident@2Corinthians:6:16 @ What agreement has the Temple of God with idols? For we are the Temple of the living God, as God said, "I will dwell in them and walk among them, and I will be their God and they shall be my people.

riversident@2Corinthians:7:7 @ and not by his coming only, but also by the encouragement by which he was encouraged about you. He told us of your longing for me, your lamentation, your zeal in my behalf, so that I rejoice the more.

riversident@2Corinthians:7:8 @ For if I grieved you in my letter I do not regret it, though I did regret it, seeing that that letter grieved you even for a time,

riversident@2Corinthians:7:9 @ but I am glad now, not that you were grieved, but that your grief led to a change of heart. You were grieved as God approves so that you should in nothing suffer loss from us.

riversident@2Corinthians:7:10 @ For such grief as God approves works a change of heart leading to salvation and is never to be regretted. But the grief of the world results in death.

riversident@2Corinthians:7:11 @ Notice this very grieving as God approves, how great earnestness resulted from it in your case, what effort to defend yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what longing, what zeal, what just punishment! In everything you showed yourselves blameless in the matter.

riversident@2Corinthians:7:12 @ So although I wrote to you, I did it not for the sake of him who did the wrong, nor for the sake of him who suffered wrong, but that your earnestness for us might be made plain to you before God.

riversident@2Corinthians:8:1 @ I MUST tell you, brethren, of the grace of God that has been given to the churches of Macedonia,

riversident@2Corinthians:8:2 @ that in a great trial of distress their abundant joy and their deep poverty have abounded in the wealth of their liberality.

riversident@2Corinthians:8:4 @ with great urgency they begged of us the favor of fellowship in the service for the holy,

riversident@2Corinthians:8:6 @ Therefore we encouraged Titus that as he had begun so he should complete this grace among you.

riversident@2Corinthians:8:9 @ For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich yet for your sake he became poor, that you by his poverty might become rich.

riversident@2Corinthians:8:11 @ But now complete the doing, that as there was a readiness in willing so there may be a completion according to your means.

riversident@2Corinthians:8:12 @ For if there is first the readiness, a gift is acceptable according to what a man has, not according to what he has not.

riversident@2Corinthians:8:13 @ I do not mean that others shall have relief and you shall have trouble,

riversident@2Corinthians:8:14 @ but by equality at the present time your abundance may supply their need so that their abundance may come at your need \'97 that there may be equality,

riversident@2Corinthians:8:15 @ as it is written, "He who gathered much had nothing over and he who gathered little had no lack."

riversident@2Corinthians:8:19 @ and not only that, but he was appointed by the churches as our fellow traveler in this gracious errand carried out by us to the glory of the Lord himself and by our own eager desire.

riversident@2Corinthians:8:20 @ We are taking care that no one shall blame us for our administration of this bountiful fund,

riversident@2Corinthians:8:22 @ We are sending along with them also our brother whose earnestness we have tested many times in many ways, and who is now especially earnest because of his great confidence in you.

riversident@2Corinthians:8:23 @ If any one asks about Titus, he is my intimate friend and fellow worker for you. If it is our brethren, they are the messengers of the churches, the glory of Christ.

riversident@2Corinthians:9:2 @ For I know your readiness and I am boasting about you to the Macedonians, that Achaia was ready a year ago, and your zeal has stimulated the most of them.

riversident@2Corinthians:9:3 @ I am sending the brethren that our boasting about you may not be proved in this matter an empty boast, so that you may be ready as I have said,

riversident@2Corinthians:9:5 @ So I think it necessary to urge the brethren to go on in advance to you and prepare before-hand your promised gift, that it may be ready as a gift and not as if extorted.

riversident@2Corinthians:9:8 @ God is able to make every blessing abound for you so that having in everything always all that you need, you may abound in every good work,

riversident@2Corinthians:9:9 @ as it is written, "He scattered, he gave to the poor, his righteousness endures forever."

riversident@2Corinthians:9:11 @ You will be enriched in everything so that you will have all liberality which through our agency causes thanksgiving to God.

riversident@2Corinthians:9:14 @ In their prayers in your behalf they pour out their longing love for you because of the surpassing grace of God that is upon you.

riversident@2Corinthians:10:2 @ I pray that I may not when present have to be bold with the confidence with which I expect to show my courage against some who think of us as living according to the flesh.

riversident@2Corinthians:10:5 @ We overthrow reasonings and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and take captive every thought into obedience to Christ

riversident@2Corinthians:10:7 @ Look at what is right before your eyes. If any one is confident that he belongs to Christ, let him again consider this regarding himself, that just as he belongs to Christ so also do we.

riversident@2Corinthians:10:8 @ For if I boast somewhat excessively of our authority, which the Lord gave for building you up and not for pulling you down, I shall not be ashamed.

riversident@2Corinthians:10:11 @ Let such a person consider this, that what we are in words by letters when absent such we will be in deeds when present.

riversident@2Corinthians:10:13 @ We will not boast beyond measure, but according to the measure of the measuring rod which God assigned to us, and that reaches as far as you.

riversident@2Corinthians:10:15 @ We are not boasting beyond measure in the labors of others, but we have hope that as your faith grows we may have larger influence among you according to our measure and beyond,

riversident@2Corinthians:10:16 @ so that we may tell the good news to the regions lying beyond you and not boast of things already done in some other man's territory.

riversident@2Corinthians:10:18 @ For it is not he who commends himself that is approved, but whom the Lord commends.

riversident@2Corinthians:11:1 @ O THAT you would bear with me in a little foolishness. Yes, bear with me.

riversident@2Corinthians:11:3 @ But I fear that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his cunning, your thoughts may be led away from sincerity and purity toward Christ.

riversident@2Corinthians:11:5 @ I consider that I am in nothing inferior to the most eminent apostles.

riversident@2Corinthians:11:6 @ If I am an ordinary man in speaking, still I am not in knowledge, but in everything we made that altogether clear to you.

riversident@2Corinthians:11:7 @ Did I commit a sin when I humbled myself that you might be exalted, because I proclaimed to you the good news of God without pay?

riversident@2Corinthians:11:12 @ But what I am doing I shall do so as to cut away all ground of attack from those who wish ground, and that in what they boast of they may be found just like us.

riversident@2Corinthians:11:14 @ And no wonder, for Satan himself disguises himself as an angel of light.

riversident@2Corinthians:11:15 @ So it is no great thing if his servants too disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will be according to their deeds.

riversident@2Corinthians:11:16 @ I say again, let no one think me foolish. But, even if so, receive me as foolish, that I too may boast a little.

riversident@2Corinthians:11:17 @ What I am saying I am not saying by the Lord's command, but as it were in foolishness, in this confident boasting.

riversident@2Corinthians:11:21 @ I say it with shame as if we had been weak. But in whatever any one is bold (note:)I say it foolishly(:note) I too am bold.

riversident@2Corinthians:11:23 @ Are they servants of Christ? (note:)I speak as if I were out of my mind(:note) I superlatively \'97 in labors beyond measure, in prisons beyond measure, in floggings excessively, in deaths often.

riversident@2Corinthians:11:25 @ three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, three times I was ship-wrecked, a night and day I have been in the deep;

riversident@2Corinthians:11:28 @ Aside, from other things there is that which weighs on me daily, anxiety for all the churches.

riversident@2Corinthians:11:30 @ If there must be boasting, I will boast of the things that show my weakness.

riversident@2Corinthians:11:31 @ The God and Father of the Lord Jesus knows, he who is blessed forever, that I am not lying.

riversident@2Corinthians:12:1 @ I MUST boast, though it is unprofitable. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.

riversident@2Corinthians:12:4 @ that he was caught up into Paradise and heard unspeakable words which it is not lawful for man to speak.

riversident@2Corinthians:12:6 @ Even if I choose to boast I shall not be foolish, for I shall speak the truth. But I guard myself that no one may think of me beyond what he sees me to be, or hears from me,

riversident@2Corinthians:12:7 @ and because of the surpassing nature of the revelations. For this reason, that I should not be puffed up, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, an angel of Satan, to torment me, so that I should not be puffed up.

riversident@2Corinthians:12:8 @ Regarding this I three times begged the Lord that it might leave me.

riversident@2Corinthians:12:9 @ But he has said to me, Most gladly then will I boast in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may abide upon me.

riversident@2Corinthians:12:10 @ Therefore I rejoice in weaknesses, in rough treatment, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake; for when I am weak, then I am strong.

riversident@2Corinthians:12:12 @ The signs of an apostle were performed among you in all patience by miracles and wonders and deeds of power.

riversident@2Corinthians:12:13 @ What is there in which you were made inferior to the rest of the churches except that I was not a burden to you? Forgive me this wrong.

riversident@2Corinthians:12:16 @ Be that as it may, I was not a burden to you. But being crafty I caught you with cunning?

riversident@2Corinthians:12:19 @ Are you thinking all this while that we are defending ourselves to you? We are speaking before God in Christ. All this, beloved, is to build you up.

riversident@2Corinthians:12:20 @ For I am afraid that when I come I shall not find you such as I wish, and I myself may not be found by you such as you wish. I am afraid that there may be strife, jealousy, anger, rivalry, slanders, whisperings, conceit, disorders.

riversident@2Corinthians:12:21 @ I am afraid that when I come again my God may humble me in your presence, and that I shall grieve over many of those who have been long sinning and have not repented of the impurity and unchastity and sensuality which they have practiced.

riversident@2Corinthians:13:1 @ THIS third time I am coming to you. "By the evidence of two witnesses, or three, every matter shall be proved."

riversident@2Corinthians:13:2 @ Those who have been long sinning and all the rest I have forewarned and now forewarn, when I was present with you the second time and now when absent, that if I come again I shall not spare;

riversident@2Corinthians:13:5 @ Test yourselves whether you are in the faith, put yourselves to the proof. Are you not conscious that Jesus Christ is in you? He is, unless you cannot stand the test.

riversident@2Corinthians:13:6 @ I hope that you know that we are not unable to stand the test.

riversident@2Corinthians:13:7 @ I pray to God that you may do nothing evil, not in order that we may seem to stand the test, but in order that you may do the right, though we should seem unable to stand the test.

riversident@2Corinthians:13:10 @ For this reason I am writing this while absent, so that when present I may not act with severity in the use of the authority which the Lord gave me for building you up, not for pulling you down.

riversident@Galatians:1:1 @ PAUL an apostle \'97 not from men or through men, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead \'97

riversident@Galatians:1:2 @ and all the brethren with me, to the churches of Galatia:

riversident@Galatians:1:3 @ Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ,

riversident@Galatians:1:4 @ who gave himself for our sins to deliver us from the present wicked world according to the will of our God and Father!

riversident@Galatians:1:5 @ To him be glory through the ages of the ages! Amen.

riversident@Galatians:1:6 @ I am astonished that you are so quickly changing over from him who called you by the grace of Christ to a different kind of good news,

riversident@Galatians:1:7 @ though it is not another good news. But there are some who are perplexing you and wishing to pervert the good news of Christ.

riversident@Galatians:1:8 @ But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should bring you any good news different from what we did bring you, let him be accursed!

riversident@Galatians:1:9 @ As I said before, I say now again, if any one brings you good news different from what you have received, let him be accursed!

riversident@Galatians:1:10 @ Am I now trying to please men or God? If I were still trying to please men I should not be Christ's servant.

riversident@Galatians:1:11 @ For I assure you, brethren, that the good news which I brought is not of man's devising.

riversident@Galatians:1:12 @ For neither did I receive it from man nor was I taught it through man, but through a revelation of Jesus Christ.

riversident@Galatians:1:13 @ You have heard of my former life in Judaism, that I furiously persecuted the church of God and made havoc of it,

riversident@Galatians:1:14 @ and I went further in Judaism than many of my own age and race, being intensely zealous for the traditions of my forefathers.

riversident@Galatians:1:15 @ But when he who had appointed me when I was in my mother's womb, and had called me by his grace,

riversident@Galatians:1:16 @ was pleased to reveal his Son in me that I might tell the good news of him among the Gentiles, immediately I did not consult with flesh and blood,

riversident@Galatians:1:17 @ nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia, and came back to Damascus.

riversident@Galatians:1:18 @ Then, after three years, I went up to Jerusalem to visit Peter and stayed with him fifteen days.

riversident@Galatians:1:19 @ But I saw no other one of the apostles, though I did see James the Lord's brother.

riversident@Galatians:1:20 @ In what I am writing to you, before God I am not lying.

riversident@Galatians:1:21 @ Then I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.

riversident@Galatians:1:22 @ I was not known by face to the churches of Christ in Judaea.

riversident@Galatians:1:23 @ Only they had heard that "he who used to persecute us is now telling the good news of the faith of which he once made havoc,"

riversident@Galatians:1:24 @ and they glorified God on my account.

riversident@Galatians:2:1 @ THEN after fourteen years I again went up to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking along Titus.

riversident@Galatians:2:2 @ I went up by revelation, and I stated to them the good news which I proclaim among the Gentiles. But I did this privately before those who were most esteemed, that I might not be running, or have run, to no Purpose.

riversident@Galatians:2:3 @ But even Titus, who was with me and was a Greek, was not compelled to be circumcised,

riversident@Galatians:2:4 @ though it was suggested on account of false brethren who had been brought in, who had crept in to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, in order to enslave us.

riversident@Galatians:2:5 @ But we did not yield in subjection to them even for an hour, that the truth of the good news might continue with you.

riversident@Galatians:2:6 @ But from those who were esteemed to be something \'97 whatever they were, it makes no difference to me; God does not regard the social standing of a man \'97 those who were most esteemed did not impart to me anything additional.

riversident@Galatians:2:7 @ But, on the contrary, seeing that I was entrusted with the good news for the uncircumcision as Peter was for the circumcision,

riversident@Galatians:2:8 @ for he who had worked in Peter for the apostleship to the circumcision had worked in me for the Gentiles,

riversident@Galatians:2:9 @ recognizing the grace given to me, James, Cephas, and John, who were regarded as pillars, gave the right hand of fellowship to me and Barnabas, that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcision.

riversident@Galatians:2:10 @ Only they wished us to remember the poor. This very thing I also was earnest in doing.

riversident@Galatians:2:11 @ But when Peter came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he had been justly censured.

riversident@Galatians:2:12 @ For before certain persons came from James, he was eating with the Gentiles. But when they came, he drew back and separated himself, fearing those who were of the circumcision.

riversident@Galatians:2:13 @ And the rest of the Jews practiced the same hypocrisy with him, so that even Barnabas was led off with them in their hypocrisy.

riversident@Galatians:2:14 @ But when I saw that they were not walking straight according to the truth of the good news, I said to Cephas before them all, "If you who are a Jew are living like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you compel the Gentiles to live like Jews?"

riversident@Galatians:2:15 @ We who are Jews by nature and not sinners of the Gentiles,

riversident@Galatians:2:16 @ knowing that a man is not declared righteous because of works of law, but through faith in Christ Jesus, we also have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be declared righteous because of faith in Christ, and not because of works of law, for because of works of law no human being will be declared righteous.

riversident@Galatians:2:17 @ If while seeking to be declared righteous in Christ we ourselves are found sinners, is Christ then a servant of sin? Never.

riversident@Galatians:2:18 @ For if I am building up again what I pulled down, I show myself as a transgressor.

riversident@Galatians:2:19 @ For I through law died to law that I might live to God.

riversident@Galatians:2:20 @ I have been crucified with Christ. I am living, yet no longer I, but Christ is living in me. The life that I am now living in flesh I am living by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

riversident@Galatians:2:21 @ I do not make nothing of the grace of God, for if righteousness is through law, then Christ died for nothing.

riversident@Galatians:3:1 @ O THOUGHTLESS Galatians, who has bewitched you before whose eyes Jesus Christ was pictured crucified?

riversident@Galatians:3:2 @ Only this I wish to learn from you: Was it because of works of law that you received the Spirit, or because of hearing with faith?

riversident@Galatians:3:3 @ Are you so thoughtless? After beginning with spirit are you now finishing with flesh?

riversident@Galatians:3:4 @ Have you suffered such things to no purpose? \'97 if it is to no purpose.

riversident@Galatians:3:5 @ He who supplies to you the Spirit and works miracles among you, is he doing it because of works of law or because of hearing with faith,

riversident@Galatians:3:6 @ just as Abraham had faith in God and it was credited to him for righteousness?

riversident@Galatians:3:7 @ You know, then, that those who are of faith \'97 they are children of Abraham.

riversident@Galatians:3:8 @ For the Scripture, foreseeing that God would declare the Gentiles righteous because of faith, announced the good news in advance to Abraham, "In you all the Gentiles will be blessed."

riversident@Galatians:3:9 @ So then those who are of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.

riversident@Galatians:3:10 @ For all who are of the works of law are under a curse, for it is written, "Cursed is every one who does not abide by all the precepts of the book of the Law and do them."

riversident@Galatians:3:11 @ But that by law no one is declared righteous before God is plain, because, "He who is righteous by faith shall live."

riversident@Galatians:3:12 @ But the Law is not of faith, but "He who does these things shall live by them."

riversident@Galatians:3:13 @ Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law by becoming a curse for our sake, for it is written, "Cursed is every one who hangs on a tree,"

riversident@Galatians:3:14 @ in order that the blessing of Abraham might in Jesus Christ come on the Gentiles, that they might receive through faith the promise of the Spirit.

riversident@Galatians:3:15 @ Brethren, I am speaking humanly, a ratified covenant, although but a man's, no one can set aside or add to.

riversident@Galatians:3:16 @ But the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his offspring. It does not say, "and to offsprings," as meaning many, but as if meaning one, "and to your offspring," who is Christ.

riversident@Galatians:3:17 @ I mean this, a covenant ratified by God, the Law that came four hundred and thirty years afterward does not annul, so as to defeat the promise.

riversident@Galatians:3:18 @ For if the inheritance is by law, it is no longer by promise. But God granted it to Abraham by promise.

riversident@Galatians:3:19 @ Why then was the Law? It was added later to make transgressions, until the Offspring should come to whom the promise had been made, and it was arranged through angels by the hand of a mediator.

riversident@Galatians:3:20 @ A mediator does not belong to one person, but God is one.

riversident@Galatians:3:21 @ Is the Law then against the promises of God? Never! For if a law had been given which could give life, then really righteousness would have come by law.

riversident@Galatians:3:22 @ But the Scripture has shut up all under sin that the promise based on faith in Jesus Christ may be given to those who have faith.

riversident@Galatians:3:23 @ Before faith came we were guarded under law, shut up waiting for the faith that was to be revealed.

riversident@Galatians:3:24 @ Thus the Law became our tutor leading us to Christ, that we might be declared righteous by faith.

riversident@Galatians:3:25 @ Now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.

riversident@Galatians:3:26 @ You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.

riversident@Galatians:3:27 @ All who have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

riversident@Galatians:3:28 @ There cannot be Jew or Greek, slave or free, male or female: for you all are one in Christ Jesus.

riversident@Galatians:3:29 @ If you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's offspring and heirs according to the promise.

riversident@Galatians:4:1 @ I SAY that as long as the heir is under age he differs in nothing from a slave, though he be owner of all.

riversident@Galatians:4:2 @ But he is under guardians and managers until the day appointed by the father.

riversident@Galatians:4:3 @ So we, when we were under age, were enslaved under the elementary lessons of the world;

riversident@Galatians:4:4 @ but, when the fullness of time came, God sent forth his Son born of a woman, born under the Law,

riversident@Galatians:4:5 @ that he might redeem those who were under Law, that we might receive the recognition as sons.

riversident@Galatians:4:6 @ Because you are sons, God has sent into our hearts the Spirit of his Son crying Abba, Father.

riversident@Galatians:4:7 @ So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then also an heir, through God's act.

riversident@Galatians:4:8 @ At the time when you did not know God you were enslaved to what by nature are not gods.

riversident@Galatians:4:9 @ But now that you know God, or rather have been known by God, how are you turning back to the weak and beggarly elementary lessons to which you wish to be slaves again?

riversident@Galatians:4:10 @ You observe days and months and seasons and years.

riversident@Galatians:4:11 @ You make me afraid that I have labored over you uselessly.

riversident@Galatians:4:12 @ Become like me, brethren, I beg of you, for I became like you. You have not wronged me in anything.

riversident@Galatians:4:13 @ You know that because of weakness of the flesh I told you the good news at first.

riversident@Galatians:4:14 @ And you did not despise or spurn what was a trial to you in my bodily condition, but welcomed me as you would an angel of God, as you would Christ Jesus.

riversident@Galatians:4:15 @ Where now is the blessing you pronounced on me? For I bear you witness that if it had been possible you would have plucked out your own eyes and given them to me.

riversident@Galatians:4:16 @ Have I become your enemy because I tell you the truth?

riversident@Galatians:4:17 @ They are paying court to you, but not honorably. No, they wish to shut you out, so that you may pay court to them.

riversident@Galatians:4:18 @ It is honorable to be courted in an honorable matter always, and not only when I am with you,

riversident@Galatians:4:19 @ my children, for whom I again am suffering birth pangs until Christ is formed in you.

riversident@Galatians:4:20 @ Would that I could be present with you now and could change my tone, for I am at a loss about you.

riversident@Galatians:4:21 @ Tell me, you who wish to be under law, do you not hear the Law?

riversident@Galatians:4:22 @ For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one born of the slave girl and one born of the free wife.

riversident@Galatians:4:23 @ But he who was born of the slave girl was born according to the flesh, while he who was born of the free wife was born by promise.

riversident@Galatians:4:24 @ This is an allegory. For these women are the two covenants, one from Mount Sinai, bearing children for slavery. This is Hagar.

riversident@Galatians:4:25 @ Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia. She represents the present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery along with her children.

riversident@Galatians:4:26 @ But the Jerusalem on high is free and she is our mother.

riversident@Galatians:4:27 @ For it is written, "Rejoice, O barren one, you who do not bear! Break forth and shout, you who feel no birth pangs! For many are the children of the desolate \'97 more than those of her who has a husband."

riversident@Galatians:4:28 @ But you, brethren, are, as Isaac was, children of promise.

riversident@Galatians:4:29 @ But just as then he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so it is now.

riversident@Galatians:4:30 @ But what says the Scripture? "Cast out the slave girl and her son. For the son of the slave girl shall not inherit along with the son of the free wife."

riversident@Galatians:4:31 @ Therefore, brethren, we are not children of a slave girl, but of the free wife.

riversident@Galatians:5:1 @ STAND firm, therefore, in the freedom with which Christ set us free, and do not wear any yoke of slavery.

riversident@Galatians:5:2 @ See, I, Paul, tell you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will be of no use to you.

riversident@Galatians:5:3 @ I testify again to every man who receives circumcision that he is under obligation to carry out the whole Law.

riversident@Galatians:5:4 @ You have put an end to Christ's work for you, you who are declared righteous by law; you have fallen away from grace.

riversident@Galatians:5:5 @ For we in the Spirit because of faith are waiting for the hope of righteousness.

riversident@Galatians:5:6 @ For in Christ Jesus neither has circumcision any value nor uncircumcision, but faith working through love.

riversident@Galatians:5:7 @ You were running finely. Who hindered you from obeying the truth?

riversident@Galatians:5:8 @ The persuasion was not from him who called you.

riversident@Galatians:5:9 @ A little yeast sets the whole lump fermenting.

riversident@Galatians:5:10 @ I am persuaded in regard to you in the Lord that you will have no other mind. He who is troubling you must bear his condemnation, whoever he may be.

riversident@Galatians:5:11 @ But I, brethren, if I am still proclaiming circumcision, why am I persecuted? Then the offensiveness of the cross has been done away.

riversident@Galatians:5:12 @ Would that those who are troubling you would even cut off all!

riversident@Galatians:5:13 @ For you were called to freedom, brethren; only do not let your freedom be an opportunity for the flesh, but in love be servants to one another.

riversident@Galatians:5:14 @ For the whole Law is summed up in one word: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."

riversident@Galatians:5:15 @ But if you bite and devour one another, take care that you are not destroyed by one another.

riversident@Galatians:5:16 @ I say, walk in the Spirit and you will not carry out the passions of the flesh.

riversident@Galatians:5:17 @ For the flesh has passions contrary to the Spirit and the Spirit contrary to the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, so that you may not do whatever you wish.

riversident@Galatians:5:18 @ But if you are led by the Spirit you are not under law.

riversident@Galatians:5:19 @ The works of the flesh are obvious, such as unchastity, impurity, indecency,

riversident@Galatians:5:20 @ idolatry, magic, hatred, strife, jealousy, anger, rivalries, dissensions, factions,

riversident@Galatians:5:21 @ envyings, drinking bouts, revelries, and the like. Of these I tell you beforehand, as I have already told you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

riversident@Galatians:5:22 @ But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, slowness to anger, kindness, benevolence, faithfulness,

riversident@Galatians:5:23 @ gentleness, self-control; against such there is no law.

riversident@Galatians:5:24 @ Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its emotions and passions.

riversident@Galatians:5:25 @ If we are living in the Spirit let us direct our lives by the Spirit.

riversident@Galatians:5:26 @ Let us not be vainglorious, irritating one another, envying one another.

riversident@Galatians:6:1 @ BRETHREN, if a man is surprised in some sin, you who are spiritual are to restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, each looking out for himself to avoid being tempted.

riversident@Galatians:6:2 @ Bear one another's burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ.

riversident@Galatians:6:3 @ If any one thinks that he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

riversident@Galatians:6:4 @ Let each one test his own work and then he will have his reason for boasting in himself alone and not in another.

riversident@Galatians:6:5 @ For each must bear his own load.

riversident@Galatians:6:6 @ Let him who is taught the message share with his teacher in all good things.

riversident@Galatians:6:12 @ All who wish to make a fair show in the flesh are trying to compel you to receive circumcision, but only that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.

riversident@Galatians:6:13 @ For even those who are circumcised do not themselves keep the Law, but they wish you to be circumcised in order to boast in your flesh.

riversident@Galatians:6:14 @ But let me never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world is crucified to me and I to the world.

riversident@Galatians:6:15 @ For neither is circumcision anything nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.

riversident@Galatians:6:17 @ For the future let no one trouble me; for I bear on my body the brands of Jesus.

riversident@Ephesians:1:1 @ PAUL, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, to the Holy who are at Ephesus, faithful in Christ Jesus:

riversident@Ephesians:1:2 @ Grace and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!

riversident@Ephesians:1:3 @ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly heights in Christ,

riversident@Ephesians:1:4 @ even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world to be holy and spotless before him in love.

riversident@Ephesians:1:12 @ and we were made God's heritage in order that we might bring praise to his glory \'97 we who first have fixed our hope on Christ.

riversident@Ephesians:1:13 @ In him you also, after hearing the message of the truth, the good news of your salvation, and putting your faith in him, were sealed by the promised Holy Spirit,

riversident@Ephesians:1:14 @ which is the pledge of our inheritance in anticipation of the full redemption of God's own people to the praise of his glory.

riversident@Ephesians:1:17 @ that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father most glorious, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of himself,

riversident@Ephesians:1:18 @ enlightening the eyes of your heart, that you may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the glorious wealth of his inheritance in the holy,

riversident@Ephesians:1:19 @ and what the surpassing greatness of his power toward us who believe according to the inworking of his vast might,

riversident@Ephesians:1:20 @ which he put forth in Christ when he raised him from the dead and made him sit at his own right hand in the heavenly heights,

riversident@Ephesians:1:21 @ far above every archangel and authority and power and lordship and every name that is named not only in this world but also in the world to come.

riversident@Ephesians:2:3 @ Among these we all lived once in the passions of our flesh and of our thoughts, and we were by nature children of wrath like the rest.

riversident@Ephesians:2:4 @ But God, who is rich in mercy, because of his great love with which he loved us,

riversident@Ephesians:2:7 @ that he might show in the ages to come the surpassing richness of his grace in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.

riversident@Ephesians:2:9 @ not of works, that no one may boast.

riversident@Ephesians:2:11 @ Therefore remember that once you were Gentiles in the flesh and were called uncircumcision by the so-called circumcision in the flesh, made by hands,

riversident@Ephesians:2:12 @ and that you were then apart from Christ, aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise, without hope and without God in the world.

riversident@Ephesians:2:20 @ built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the corner stone.

riversident@Ephesians:3:3 @ that by revelation the mystery has been disclosed to me, as I wrote before briefly,

riversident@Ephesians:3:4 @ In reading that letter you can learn my understanding in the mystery of Christ,

riversident@Ephesians:3:5 @ a mystery which was not disclosed in other generations to the sons of men as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit,

riversident@Ephesians:3:6 @ namely, that the Gentiles are fellow heirs and fellow members of the body, fellow sharers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the good news,

riversident@Ephesians:3:9 @ and to show what is the working of the mystery which has been hidden for ages in God, who created all things

riversident@Ephesians:3:13 @ So I beg you not to lose heart because of the distresses that come on me for your sake. They are a high honor to you.

riversident@Ephesians:3:14 @ For this reason I bow my knees to the Father

riversident@Ephesians:3:20 @ To him who is able to do far beyond all we ask or think by the power that works in us,

riversident@Ephesians:3:21 @ to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus through all the generations of the ages! Amen.

riversident@Ephesians:4:4 @ There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called with one hope that belongs to your calling,

riversident@Ephesians:4:6 @ one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.

riversident@Ephesians:4:9 @ What does "he ascended" mean, except that he had descended into the lowest parts of the earth?

riversident@Philippians:3:15 @ Let us all who are full grown think in this way. If in anything you think differently, even that God will reveal to you,

riversident@Philippians:3:16 @ but so far as we have attained let us walk in the same path.

riversident@Philippians:3:17 @ Unite in imitating me, brethren, and watch those who are living according to our example.

riversident@Philippians:3:18 @ For many are living as I used often to tell you and now say even weeping that they are enemies of the cross of Christ.

riversident@1Thessalonians:3:9 @ For how can we be grateful enough to God for you in view of all the joy we have because of you,

riversident@1Thessalonians:3:10 @ while we pray beyond measure night and day that we may see your faces and make good whatever lacks there may be in your faith?

riversident@1Thessalonians:3:11 @ May our God and Father himself and our Lord Jesus Christ open the way for us to come to you.

riversident@1Thessalonians:3:13 @ that your hearts may be made firm and you may be blameless in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his holy ones.

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:1 @ TO conclude, brethren, we beg of you and urge you in the Lord Jesus that, as you learned from us how you ought to live to please God, and are living, you will excel still more.

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:2 @ For you know what directions we have given you through the Lord Jesus.

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:6 @ to have no one trespass or take advantage of his brother in this matter; for the Lord is the punisher of all such, as we have already told you and solemnly warned you.

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:13 @ We do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, regarding those who are sleeping, that you may not sorrow as the rest of men who have no hope.

riversident@1Thessalonians:5:1 @ BUT regarding times and dates, brethren, you do not need to have me write to you.

riversident@1Thessalonians:5:2 @ For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.

riversident@1Thessalonians:5:4 @ But you, brethren, are not in darkness so that the day can take you like a thief.

riversident@1Thessalonians:5:6 @ Then let us not be sleeping like the rest of men, but let us watch and be sober.

riversident@1Thessalonians:5:8 @ But let us who are of the day be sober. Let us put on the breastplate of faith and love and for a helmet the hope of salvation.

riversident@1Thessalonians:5:9 @ For God has not destined us to wrath, but to the winning of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

riversident@1Thessalonians:5:10 @ who died for us that whether we are waking or sleeping we may live in company with him.

riversident@1Thessalonians:5:13 @ and to esteem them very highly in love on account of their work. Be at peace among yourselves.

riversident@1Thessalonians:5:15 @ Take care that no one repays evil with evil, but always seek eagerly what is good in dealing with one another and with every one.

riversident@2Thessalonians:1:1 @ PAUL and Silvanus and Timothy to the Church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:

riversident@2Thessalonians:1:2 @ Grace to you and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

riversident@2Thessalonians:1:3 @ We ought always to thank God for you, brethren, as is fitting, since your faith is growing greatly and the love of each and all of you toward one another is increasing,

riversident@2Thessalonians:1:4 @ so that we ourselves glory in you among the churches of God because of your endurance and faith in all of your persecutions and in the distresses you are bearing.

riversident@2Thessalonians:1:7 @ and to repay to you, who are being troubled, rest with us at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with his mighty angels.

riversident@2Thessalonians:1:10 @ when he comes to be glorified among his holy ones and to be wondered at on that day among all believers \'97 for our testimony to you was believed.

riversident@2Thessalonians:1:12 @ that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, according to the grace of our God and of the Lord Jesus Christ.

riversident@2Thessalonians:2:2 @ not to be quickly unsettled in mind nor excited by either a revelation or by a message or a letter supposed to be from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord is close at hand.

riversident@2Thessalonians:2:6 @ And now you know what is restraining him until he is revealed at his appointed time.

riversident@2Thessalonians:2:8 @ And then the Lawless One will be revealed. But the Lord Jesus will sweep him away with the breath of his mouth and will make him powerless by the splendor of his coming.

riversident@2Thessalonians:2:9 @ For his coming will be when Satan is active in every sort of power and in false signs and wonders

riversident@2Thessalonians:2:10 @ and in every kind of wicked deception of those who are perishing, because they did not receive the love of the truth so that they might be saved.

riversident@2Thessalonians:2:11 @ For this reason God sends to them a deceptive influence so that they believe a lie,

riversident@2Thessalonians:2:12 @ that all who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness may be condemned.

riversident@2Thessalonians:2:13 @ We ought always to thank God for you, brethren, beloved by the Lord, because God chose you from the beginning for salvation through the Spirit's making you holy and your own faith in the truth.

riversident@2Thessalonians:2:14 @ To this he called you through the good news that we brought, so that you may share the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

riversident@2Thessalonians:2:15 @ Now then, brethren, stand firm and hold fast the teachings that you have been taught whether by our words or by our letter.

riversident@2Thessalonians:2:16 @ May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal encouragement and good hope through grace,

riversident@2Thessalonians:3:1 @ IN conclusion, brethren, pray for us, that the Lord's message may run and be glorified, as among you,

riversident@2Thessalonians:3:2 @ and that we may be saved from the unreasonable and wicked men, for faith does not belong to all.

riversident@2Thessalonians:3:4 @ We are persuaded in the Lord in regard to you that you are doing and will do what we direct.

riversident@2Thessalonians:3:5 @ The Lord guide your hearts in the love of God and the patience of Christ.

riversident@2Thessalonians:3:6 @ We charge you, brethren, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, to stand aloof from every brother who is living in a disorderly way and not according to the teaching that you received from us.

riversident@2Thessalonians:3:7 @ For you yourselves know that you should imitate us, for we were not disorderly when among you,

riversident@2Thessalonians:3:8 @ nor did we eat bread with any one without paying, but with labor and toil night and day we worked in order not to burden any one of you.

riversident@2Thessalonians:3:9 @ Not that we have not the authority, but in order to give you ourselves as an example for you to imitate.

riversident@2Thessalonians:3:10 @ For when we were with you we gave you this command, "If any one will not work, neither is he to eat."

riversident@2Thessalonians:3:11 @ For we hear that some among you are leading disorderly lives, busy about nothing and yet busybodies.

riversident@2Thessalonians:3:12 @ Such we command and urge in the Lord Jesus Christ to work quietly and eat their own bread.

riversident@2Thessalonians:3:14 @ If any one does not obey our words in this letter, mark that man and do not associate with him, so that he may be ashamed.

riversident@1Timothy:1:8 @ We know that the Law is excellent, if any one uses it lawfully.

riversident@1Timothy:1:9 @ But we know this: that law is not laid down for a righteous man, but for the lawless and the insubordinate, the ungodly and sinners, the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,

riversident@1Timothy:1:10 @ for the unchaste, for those who practice unnatural vices, for slave-dealers, liars, perjurers, and for whatever else is contrary to wholesome teaching

riversident@1Timothy:1:13 @ though before that I spoke profanely and was a persecutor and insolent in outrages. But I received mercy because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.

riversident@1Timothy:1:15 @ The saying is trust-worthy and deserving of full acceptance that "Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners," of whom I am the foremost.

riversident@1Timothy:1:16 @ But I received mercy for this reason, that in me, as the foremost, Jesus Christ might show all of his long-suffering for an example for those who are to believe in him and gain life eternal.

riversident@1Timothy:1:18 @ This command I lay down for you, my child Timothy, in accordance with the prophecies that came in advance regarding you, in order that armed with them you may wage the noble war,

riversident@1Timothy:1:20 @ Among these are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have handed over to Satan, that they may learn not to speak profanely.

riversident@1Timothy:2:1 @ I BEG, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, supplications, and thanksgivings be made in behalf of all men,

riversident@1Timothy:2:2 @ in behalf of kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceful life in all piety and sobriety.

riversident@1Timothy:2:5 @ For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, himself man, Christ Jesus,

riversident@1Timothy:2:6 @ who gave himself as a ransom for all, a fact to be witnessed to at the fitting time.

riversident@1Timothy:2:8 @ I wish, then, that the men offer prayer in every place, lifting up holy hands without wrath or debate.

riversident@1Timothy:2:9 @ Also that the women adorn themselves in becoming dress modestly and discreetly, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly clothes,

riversident@1Timothy:3:2 @ A bishop, then, should be above reproach, true to one woman, temperate, self-controlled, dignified, hospitable, with a gift for teaching,

riversident@1Timothy:3:7 @ He must have a good reputation with outsiders so as not to fall into reproach and the snare of the Devil.

riversident@1Timothy:3:11 @ Women, in the same way, must be dignified, not slanderers, temperate, trustworthy in everything.

riversident@1Timothy:3:13 @ Those who have filled the office of deacon well win for themselves a high standing and great boldness in the faith in Christ Jesus.

riversident@1Timothy:3:16 @ Confessedly great is the mystery of godliness: "Who was manifested in flesh, declared righteous in spirit, seen by angels, proclaimed among Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up in glory."

riversident@1Timothy:4:1 @ THE Spirit says distinctly that in later times some will desert from the faith, giving attention to deceiving spirits and teachings of demons,

riversident@1Timothy:4:8 @ Bodily exercise is useful to a small degree, but godliness is useful for everything. "It has the promise of the present life and of the life that is to come."

riversident@1Timothy:4:13 @ Until I come give attention to reading, to exhortation, to teaching.

riversident@1Timothy:4:14 @ Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you through prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the eldership.

riversident@1Timothy:5:13 @ At the same time they learn to be idle, going around from house to house, and not only idle, but gossips, and busybodies, saying what they should not.

riversident@1Timothy:5:15 @ For already some have turned aside after Satan.

riversident@1Timothy:5:16 @ If any woman who is a believer has widows, she must provide for them and the church must not be burdened, so that it may provide for those who are really widows.

riversident@1Timothy:5:19 @ Against an elder do not receive an accusation unless on the testimony of two or three witnesses.

riversident@1Timothy:5:20 @ Those who are going on in sin rebuke before all, that the rest may fear.

riversident@1Timothy:5:22 @ Do not lay hands of ordination upon any one hastily. Have no share in the sins of other men. Keep yourself pure.

riversident@1Timothy:5:23 @ Do not keep on being a water-drinker, but use a little wine for the sake of your stomach and because of your frequent ailments.

riversident@1Timothy:5:24 @ Some men's sins are conspicuous and go on before to condemnation, but the sins of some men follow after them.

riversident@1Timothy:5:25 @ Just so noble deeds are conspicuous and those that are otherwise cannot be hid.

riversident@1Timothy:6:1 @ ALL who are slaves under the yoke must regard their own masters as worthy of all honor, so that the name of God and the teaching may not be profanely slandered.

riversident@1Timothy:6:2 @ Those who have believing masters must not despise them because they are brothers, but rather work as slaves for them because those who are benefited by their good work are believers and beloved. Teach and urge these things.

riversident@1Timothy:6:6 @ Religion with contentment is a great source of gain.

riversident@1Timothy:6:9 @ But those who are determined to be rich fall into temptation and a snare and many foolish and injurious passions which plunge men into destruction and ruin.

riversident@1Timothy:6:13 @ I charge you in the presence of God who gives life to all, and Christ Jesus who before Pontius Pilate made the noble confession,

riversident@2Timothy:1:15 @ You know that all of those in Asia have deserted me. Among them are Phygelus and Hermogenes.

riversident@2Timothy:1:18 @ The Lord grant to him to find mercy from the Lord on that day! And in how many ways he served me in Ephesus you know better still.

riversident@2Timothy:4:8 @ Now the crown of righteousness is awaiting me. The Lord the righteous judge will give it to me on that day, and not only to me but to all those who have loved his appearing.

riversident@2Timothy:4:10 @ For Demas deserted me because he loved the present world and has gone to Thessalonica. Crescens has gone to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia.

riversident@Hebrews:1:1 @ MANY times and in many ways God spoke of old to our fathers by the prophets;

riversident@Hebrews:1:2 @ but at the end of these days he has spoken to us by a Son, whom he has appointed heir of all things and through whom he made the world,

riversident@Hebrews:1:3 @ who is the reflection of his glory and the expression of his nature and sustains all things by his word of power, and who, when he had made purification from sins, took his seat at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

riversident@Hebrews:1:5 @ For to which of the angels did he ever say, "Thou art my son; I have to-day become thy Father"? and again, "I will be to him a Father and he shall be to me a Son"?

riversident@Hebrews:1:9 @ Thou lovest righteousness and hatest lawlessness, therefore God, thy God, has anointed thee with the oil of gladness beyond thy companions."

riversident@Hebrews:1:13 @ To which of the angels did he ever say, "Sit at my right hand till I make thine enemies thy footstool"?

riversident@Hebrews:1:14 @ Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth for service in behalf of those who are to inherit salvation?

riversident@Hebrews:2:1 @ FOR this reason we should give special attention to the things that we have heard, so as not to drift away from them.

riversident@Hebrews:2:2 @ For if the message spoken through angels was sure and every violation and disobedience received merited punishment,

riversident@Hebrews:2:3 @ how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, which at the beginning was spoken by the Lord and was confirmed to us by those who heard him,

riversident@Hebrews:2:4 @ while God added his testimony by signs and wonders and many kinds of miracles and impartation of the Holy Spirit according to his will?

riversident@Hebrews:2:6 @ But somewhere one says, "What is man that thou rememberest him? Or the son of man that thou carest for him?

riversident@Hebrews:2:8 @ All things thou hast put under his feet." When he put all things under him he left nothing that was not put under him. We do not yet see all things put under him,

riversident@Hebrews:2:9 @ but we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death that by the grace of God he might taste of death for every man, now crowned with glory and honor.

riversident@Hebrews:2:10 @ For it was fitting that he through whom are all things and for whom are all things, when leading many sons to glory, should make the great Leader of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

riversident@Hebrews:2:14 @ Since then the children share in blood and flesh, he himself in the same way shared in them, in order that through death he might defeat him who had the power of death, that is, the Devil,

riversident@Hebrews:2:15 @ and set free all those who through fear of death were all their lives doomed to slavery.

riversident@Hebrews:2:17 @ And for that reason he had to be made like his brethren in everything, so as to be a compassionate and faithful high priest in things relating to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.

riversident@Hebrews:3:5 @ Moses was faithful in all God's house as a servant for a testimony to the things that were to be spoken,

riversident@Hebrews:3:9 @ when your fathers put me to a test and saw my deeds for forty years.

riversident@Hebrews:3:10 @ Therefore I was much displeased with that generation and said, 'They always go astray in their hearts and they do not know my paths.'

riversident@Hebrews:3:11 @ So I swore in my wrath, 'They shall not enter into my rest.'

riversident@Hebrews:3:12 @ See to it, brethren, that there shall not be in any one of you a wicked, unbelieving heart ready to forsake the living God,

riversident@Hebrews:3:13 @ but encourage one another daily while it is called "to-day," that no one may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.

riversident@Hebrews:3:18 @ To whom did he swear that they should not enter his rest, except to those who had no faith?

riversident@Hebrews:3:19 @ We see that they were unable to enter because of their lack of faith.

riversident@Hebrews:4:1 @ LET us, then, be afraid that, though the promise of entering his rest is still left, some one of you may seem to have missed it.

riversident@Hebrews:4:2 @ For we have received the good news just as they did, but the message that was heard did not benefit them, since it did not meet with faith in the hearers.

riversident@Hebrews:4:3 @ For we who have faith are entering into the rest, as he said, "As I swore in my wrath, 'They shall not enter into my rest,' " although his works had been finished since the creation of the world.

riversident@Hebrews:4:7 @ again he indicates a day, "to-day," saying in David so long after, as has been already quoted, "To-day if you will hear his voice, do not harden your hearts."

riversident@Hebrews:4:8 @ For if Joshua had given them rest he would not be speaking of another day after that.

riversident@Hebrews:4:11 @ Let us endeavor then to enter into that rest so that no one shall fall, after that example of lack of faith.

riversident@Hebrews:4:13 @ There is not a creature invisible to him, but all things are naked and defenseless before the eyes of him to whom we must account.

riversident@Hebrews:4:14 @ Since, then, we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.

riversident@Hebrews:4:15 @ For we have not a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, for he has been tempted in every way just as we are, yet without sin.

riversident@Hebrews:5:1 @ FOR every high priest taken from among men is appointed in behalf of men in things relating to God to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.

riversident@Hebrews:5:2 @ He is able to sympathize with the ignorant and the erring, since he himself is beset with weaknesses.

riversident@Hebrews:5:5 @ So too Christ did not take for himself the glory of becoming a high priest, but he who said to him, "Thou art my Son, to-day I have become thy Father,"

riversident@Hebrews:5:7 @ Christ, in the days of his flesh, offered prayers and supplications to him who was able to save him from death, with strong outcries and tears, and was heard and saved from his terrors.

riversident@Hebrews:5:9 @ and being thus made perfect he became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey him,

riversident@Hebrews:5:11 @ Regarding Melchizedek we have much to say that is hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing.

riversident@Hebrews:5:12 @ For when, considering the time, you ought to be teachers you need to have some one teach you again the first principles of the revelations of God. You have come to need milk and not solid food.

riversident@Hebrews:6:1 @ THEREFORE let us leave elementary teaching about Christ and hasten on to what is advanced, not laying again a foundation \'97 change of heart from dead works, faith in God,

riversident@Hebrews:6:7 @ For ground that drinks the rain that comes often upon it and bears plants useful to those for whom it is farmed shares in God's blessing;

riversident@Hebrews:6:9 @ But we are persuaded of better things regarding you, beloved, things that belong with salvation, though we thus speak.

riversident@Hebrews:6:10 @ For God is not so unjust as to forget your work and the love that you have shown to his name as you have served and are still serving the holy.

riversident@Hebrews:6:12 @ that you may not be dull, but imitators of those who through faith and patience are inheriting the promises.

riversident@Hebrews:6:13 @ For God, when making the promise to Abraham, since he could swear by no one greater, swore by himself,

riversident@Hebrews:6:14 @ saying, "Surely, I will greatly bless you and greatly multiply you."

riversident@Hebrews:6:15 @ And so after patient waiting Abraham obtained what was promised.

riversident@Hebrews:6:16 @ For men swear by the greater and an oath for confirmation is to them the end of all dispute.

riversident@Hebrews:6:17 @ In this case God being abundantly willing to show to the heirs of the promise the unchangeable purpose of his will gave the surety of an oath,

riversident@Hebrews:6:18 @ that by two unchangeable things, in which it was impossible for God to be false, we might have strong encouragement, we who have fled to lay hold on the hope that lies before us.

riversident@Hebrews:7:1 @ FOR, this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, who met Abraham when he was returning from the defeat of the kings and blessed him,

riversident@Hebrews:7:2 @ and to whom Abraham gave a tenth of all (note:)first, by the translation of his name, "King of Righteousness," and then king of Salem, which means "King of Peace"(:note),

riversident@Hebrews:7:3 @ without father, without mother, without ancestors, without either birthday or end of life, but made like the Son of God, remains a priest permanently.

riversident@Hebrews:7:4 @ But see how great this man was, since Abraham the patriarch gave him a tenth of his choicest spoils.

riversident@Hebrews:7:5 @ And even those of the sons of Levi who attain the priesthood have command according to the Law to take a tenth from the people, their own brethren, although these have sprung from the loins of Abraham.

riversident@Hebrews:7:7 @ Without dispute the less is blessed by the greater.

riversident@Hebrews:7:8 @ And here mortal men receive tenths, but there one of whom the witness is that he is living.

riversident@Hebrews:7:10 @ For he was still in the loins of his father when Melchizedek met Abraham.

riversident@Hebrews:7:11 @ If, then, perfection had been through the Levitical priesthood, \'97 for on the basis of that the people received the Law \'97 what need was there for another kind of priest to arise and not be called of the order of Aaron?

riversident@Hebrews:7:14 @ For it is plain that our Lord has arisen from Judah, and in connection with that tribe Moses said nothing about priests.

riversident@Hebrews:7:20 @ And just as it was not without an oath \'97

riversident@Hebrews:7:21 @ for those men have become priests without an oath, but he with an oath from him who said to him, "The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind: thou art a priest forever" \'97

riversident@Hebrews:7:23 @ And many of them became priests because they were prevented by death from continuing,

riversident@Hebrews:7:26 @ For such was the High Priest that we needed, holy, innocent, unstained, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens.

riversident@Hebrews:7:27 @ He has not the daily need, like the other priests, first to offer sacrifices for his own sins and then for those of the people. This latter he did once for all when he offered himself.

riversident@Hebrews:7:28 @ For the Law makes high priests of men who have infirmities, but the word of the oath, which comes after the Law, makes High Priest of a Son who is perfected forever.

riversident@Hebrews:8:1 @ THE chief point of what I have been saying is this: we have such a High Priest who has taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of Majesty in the heavens,

riversident@Hebrews:8:4 @ If he were upon the earth he would not be a priest at all, since there are those who offer the gifts according to the Law.

riversident@Hebrews:8:5 @ They minister as an example and shadow of the things in heaven, just as Moses was divinely instructed when he was about to make the Tent. "See," it was said, "that you make everything according to the model shown you on the mountain."

riversident@Hebrews:8:6 @ But now Christ has obtained a ministry as much more excellent as the covenant of which he is mediator is better and based upon better promises.

riversident@Hebrews:8:7 @ For if that first covenant had been faultless a place would not have been sought for a second.

riversident@Hebrews:8:9 @ not in the manner of the covenant which I made with their fathers, on the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt. For they did not abide by my covenant and I ceased to care for them, says the Lord.

riversident@Hebrews:8:10 @ This is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord; I will put my laws into their minds and will write them upon their hearts and I will be their God and they will be my people.

riversident@Hebrews:8:11 @ They shall not teach each one his fellow citizen and each one his brother saying, 'Know the Lord'; for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest of them,

riversident@Hebrews:8:13 @ In saying "new" he has pronounced the first covenant old. But what grows old and decadent is near to disappearance.

riversident@Hebrews:9:1 @ THE first covenant had regulations of worship and its holy building in this world.

riversident@Hebrews:9:2 @ For a Tent was erected, in the first part of which were the lampstand and the table and the consecrated bread. This was called the Holy Place.

riversident@Hebrews:9:4 @ It had the golden altar of incense and the ark of the covenant all covered with gold. In this was a golden jar with the manna and Aaron's rod that sprouted and the tablets of the covenant.

riversident@Hebrews:9:5 @ Above it were cherubim of glory overshadowing the place of propitiation. Regarding these things it is not now possible to speak in detail.

riversident@Hebrews:9:8 @ The Holy Spirit shows this, that the way into the holy place has not yet been made plain while the first Tent is standing.

riversident@Hebrews:9:9 @ That is a symbol, for the time being, in accordance with which gifts and sacrifices are offered, though they cannot make the worshiper perfect in his conscience,

riversident@Hebrews:9:10 @ since they consist only of foods and drinks and various baths \'97 rules respecting the flesh, imposed until the time of reformation.

riversident@Hebrews:9:11 @ But when Christ came as High Priest of the good things that have come, he entered once for all through the greater and more perfect Tent not made by hands \'97 that is, not of this creation \'97

riversident@Hebrews:9:12 @ and not with the blood of goats and calves, but with his own blood, into the holy place, and thereby found eternal redemption.

riversident@Hebrews:9:13 @ For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling the defiled, makes them holy as regards purity of their flesh,

riversident@Hebrews:9:15 @ For this reason he is the mediator of a better covenant that, a death having taken place for redemption from sins under the first covenant, those who have been called may receive the eternal inheritance promised to them.

riversident@Hebrews:9:16 @ For where there is a last will and testament the death of the testator must be put in evidence.

riversident@Hebrews:9:17 @ For a will is valid in the case of the dead: it never has any force while the testator is living.

riversident@Hebrews:9:19 @ When all the commands of the Law had been spoken by Moses to all the people, he took the blood of calves and goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled it on the book and on all the people,

riversident@Hebrews:9:23 @ It was necessary, then, that the copies of the things in heaven should be cleansed with these sacrifices, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

riversident@Hebrews:9:26 @ then he must have suffered often since the foundation of the world. But now, once for all, at the end of the ages, he has appeared to do away with sin by his sacrifice.

riversident@Hebrews:9:28 @ so Christ was once for all offered to bear the sins of many and will appear the second time, apart from sin, to those who are looking for him, and bring them salvation.

riversident@Hebrews:10:1 @ FOR the Law with a shadow of the good things that are coming, but not the very likeness of the things, cannot, by the same sacrifices which they offer constantly every year, ever make perfect those who come,

riversident@Hebrews:10:4 @ For the blood of bulls and goats is powerless to take away sins.

riversident@Hebrews:10:12 @ But this Priest after offering one sacrifice for sins forever, took his seat at the right hand of God,

riversident@Hebrews:10:16 @ "This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord: I will put my laws in their hearts and on their minds I will write them," he adds,

riversident@Hebrews:10:20 @ by the new and living way which he has made for us through the curtain, that is, his flesh,

riversident@Hebrews:10:21 @ and since we have a great Priest over the house of God,

riversident@Hebrews:10:22 @ let us come with true hearts in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies bathed in pure water.

riversident@Hebrews:10:24 @ and let us keep watch to incite one another to love and noble deeds,

riversident@Hebrews:10:27 @ but a dreadful expectation of doom and a fury of fire that will devour the opposers.

riversident@Hebrews:10:32 @ Remember the early days in which, after being enlightened, you endured a great struggle with sufferings,

riversident@Hebrews:10:33 @ at one time made a public spectacle by reproaches and distresses, at another time making common cause with those who were thus treated.

riversident@Hebrews:10:34 @ For you even suffered with the prisoners and accepted the plundering of your property with joy, knowing that you had a better and enduring possession.

riversident@Hebrews:10:35 @ Do not, then, cast away your confidence, for it will have a great reward.

riversident@Hebrews:10:36 @ You have need of patience so that after doing the will of God you may gain the promised blessing.

riversident@Hebrews:11:3 @ By faith we understand that the worlds came into order at the word of God, so that what is now seen did not come out of things that are visible.

riversident@Hebrews:11:4 @ By faith Abel offered to God a better sacrifice than Cain, for which he had witness borne to him that he was righteous, God testifying to his gifts, and by it, though dead, he still speaks.

riversident@Hebrews:11:5 @ By faith Enoch was taken from the earth so that he did not see death, and he was not found because God had taken him. For before being taken he had this testimony that he had pleased God.

riversident@Hebrews:11:6 @ But without faith it is impossible to please him. For he who comes to God must have faith that he exists and that he becomes the rewarder of those who seek him.

riversident@Hebrews:11:10 @ For he was looking for the city that has the foundations, whose architect and builder is God.

riversident@Hebrews:11:11 @ By faith Sarah received power to conceive a child even when past the natural time of life, since she thought him trustworthy who had given the promise.

riversident@Hebrews:11:12 @ And so from just one man, already dead in that respect, there sprang descendants "as the stars of heaven in multitude and as the sand on the seashore innumerable."

riversident@Hebrews:11:13 @ These all died in faith, not having obtained the promised blessings, but they saw them and greeted them afar and confessed that they were strangers and foreigners in the land.

riversident@Hebrews:11:14 @ For those who say such things make it plain that they are seeking a fatherland.

riversident@Hebrews:11:15 @ And if they had been thinking of that land from which they came they would have had opportunity to return.

riversident@Hebrews:11:16 @ But now they desire a better land, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed of them \'97 of being called their God; for he has prepared for them a city.

riversident@Hebrews:11:19 @ He reasoned that God was able to raise him even from the dead, and figuratively he did win him back from the dead.

riversident@Hebrews:11:22 @ By faith Joseph, when at his end, mentioned the departure of the children of Israel and gave orders regarding his own bones.

riversident@Hebrews:11:23 @ By faith Moses at his birth was hidden three months by his parents, because they saw that the child was beautiful, and they did not fear the king's command.

riversident@Hebrews:11:25 @ He chose rather to suffer hard-ship with the people of God than to enjoy the brief pleasure of sin,

riversident@Hebrews:11:26 @ and he thought the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt. For he was looking to the final reward.

riversident@Hebrews:11:28 @ By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of the blood, so that the destroyer might not touch their first-born.

riversident@Hebrews:11:32 @ And what shall I say further? Time would fail me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, and of David and Samuel and the prophets;

riversident@Hebrews:11:35 @ Women received back their dead by a resurrection. Others were tortured, refusing to pay for liberation, in order to gain a better resurrection.

riversident@Hebrews:11:37 @ They were stoned, afflicted, sawn in two, murdered with the sword. They went about in sheepskins, in goatskins, destitute, distressed, maltreated.

riversident@Hebrews:11:40 @ In reference to us God had something better in view, that they without us should not reach perfection.

riversident@Hebrews:12:1 @ THEREFORE, surrounded as we are by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight and the sin that so easily besets us, and let us run with patience the race that lies before us,

riversident@Hebrews:12:2 @ looking to Jesus the beginner and finisher of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured a cross, thinking little of the shame, and has taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of God.

riversident@Hebrews:12:3 @ Think of him who endured such hostile speaking of sinners against him, that you may not grow weary and despondent in heart.

riversident@Hebrews:12:7 @ It is for discipline that you are enduring. God is laying it upon you as upon sons. For what son is there whom his father does not discipline?

riversident@Hebrews:12:9 @ Besides, we had fathers of our flesh who disciplined us and we used to reverence them. Shall we not much more be submissive to the Father of our spirits and live?

riversident@Hebrews:12:10 @ For they for a few days disciplined us as seemed good to them, but he for our profit, that we may share his holiness.

riversident@Hebrews:12:13 @ and make straight paths for your feet, so that the lame limb may not be put out of joint but rather cured.

riversident@Hebrews:12:15 @ Be on your guard that no one shall fail of the grace of God, that no bitter root shall sprout up and trouble you and through it many be stained,

riversident@Hebrews:12:16 @ that there shall be none unchaste, or profane like Esau, who for one meal sold his birthright.

riversident@Hebrews:12:17 @ For you know that afterward when he wished to inherit the blessing he was rejected, for he found no place for a change in his father's mind though he sought it earnestly with tears.

riversident@Hebrews:12:18 @ For you have not come to something that may be touched, ablaze with fire, and to blackness and darkness and tempest

riversident@Hebrews:12:21 @ And so dreadful was the sight that Moses said, "I am terrified and trembling."

riversident@Hebrews:12:23 @ to the festal assembly and congregation of first-born who are enrolled in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of righteous men made perfect,

riversident@Hebrews:12:24 @ and to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant and to the sprinkled blood which tells something better than the blood of Abel.

riversident@Hebrews:12:27 @ And this expression "yet once for all" shows the removal of the things shaken, as of things that have been made, that the unshaken things may remain.

riversident@Hebrews:13:5 @ Let your lives be free from the love of money. Be content with what you have. For he has said, "I will not fail you nor will I forsake you."

riversident@Hebrews:13:6 @ So we may say with courage, "The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?"

riversident@Hebrews:13:7 @ Remember your leaders, those who have spoken to you God's message, think how they ended their lives and imitate their faith.

riversident@Hebrews:13:9 @ Do not be carried away with all sorts of foreign teachings. It is well to have the heart strengthened by grace, not by special kinds of food. Those who live in that way are not profited.

riversident@Hebrews:13:10 @ We have an altar of which those who worship in the Tent have no right to eat.

riversident@Hebrews:13:12 @ For this reason Jesus also, to make the people holy by his own blood, suffered outside the gate.

riversident@Hebrews:13:15 @ Through him then let us offer to God always the sacrifice of praise, that is, the fruit of lips that make confession in his name.

riversident@Hebrews:13:17 @ Obey your leaders and yield to their authority; for they watch over your souls as those who must give account, that they may do it with joy and not with sighing. That would be unprofitable for you.

riversident@Hebrews:13:18 @ Pray for us: for we are confident that we have a good conscience, wishing to live nobly in every way.

riversident@Hebrews:13:19 @ I earnestly beg you to do this that I may be restored to you the sooner.

riversident@Hebrews:13:20 @ May the God of peace, who brought up from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great Shepherd of the sheep through the blood of an eternal covenant,

riversident@James:1:11 @ For the sun rises with scorching heat and dries up the grass, and the flower of it falls and the beauty of its face perishes. So shall the rich man wither in his pursuits.

riversident@James:1:13 @ No one must say when tempted, "My temptation comes from God." For God cannot be tempted by evil, and he tempts no one.

riversident@James:1:15 @ Then when passion has conceived it gives birth to sin, and sin, when it is full grown, gives birth to death.

riversident@James:1:17 @ every good gift and every perfect boon is from above; it descends from the Father of lights, with whom there is no change or shadow caused by turning.

riversident@James:1:18 @ Of his own will he made us his children through the message of truth, so that we might be a sort of first fruits of his creatures.

riversident@James:1:21 @ So lay aside all that is vile and all that remains of malice, and receive with gentleness the implanted message which can save your souls.

riversident@James:1:23 @ For if one is a hearer of the message and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror.

riversident@James:1:24 @ He looks at himself and is gone, and immediately forgets what sort of man he was.

riversident@James:1:25 @ But he who looks earnestly into the perfect law of liberty and continues to do so, and becomes not a forgetful hearer but a doer of work \'97 that man will be blessed in what he does.

riversident@James:1:26 @ If any one thinks himself religious while he does not bridle his tongue, but deceives his own heart, that man's religion is worthless.

riversident@James:1:27 @ Pure and stainless religion in the sight of God the Father is to visit orphans and widows in their trouble and to keep one's self unspotted from the world.

riversident@James:2:3 @ and you look up to the man who is wearing the fine clothes and say, "Take this good seat," and say to the poor man, "Stand there," or "Sit under my footstool,"

riversident@James:2:19 @ You have faith that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons have that faith, and they shudder.

riversident@James:2:20 @ Are you willing to learn, O vacant-minded man, that faith without works is useless?

riversident@James:2:21 @ Was not Abraham, our father, pronounced righteous because of works when he laid Isaac his son on the altar?

riversident@James:2:22 @ You see that faith worked with his works, and by works faith was made perfect

riversident@James:2:24 @ You see that a man is pronounced righteous because of works and not because of faith alone.

riversident@James:3:1 @ DO not, many of you, become teachers, my brethren, for you know that we will receive severer judgment.

riversident@James:3:4 @ See the ships; great as they are and driven by violent winds, they are turned about by a very small rudder wherever the desire of the helmsman chooses.

riversident@James:3:5 @ Just so the tongue is a small member, but boasts of great things. Think how small a fire may be and yet how vast the forest that it may set ablaze.

riversident@James:3:6 @ And the tongue is a fire, a world of wickedness. The tongue stands among our members as that which spots the whole body and sets on fire the wheel of nature and is itself set on fire by Gehenna.

riversident@James:5:2 @ Your riches have rotted and your garments have become moth-eaten,

riversident@James:5:3 @ your gold and silver are rusted over and the rust on them will be an evidence against you and will eat your flesh like fire.

riversident@James:5:5 @ You have lived luxuriously in the land and have given yourselves up to pleasure. You have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter.

riversident@James:5:7 @ Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the ground and is patient over it until he receives the early and the late rains.

riversident@James:5:8 @ You too must be patient. Keep your hearts steadfast, for the coming of the Lord is near.

riversident@James:5:9 @ Do not fret at one another, brethren, and then you will not be judged. The Judge is standing before your doors.

riversident@James:5:10 @ Take, brethren, the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord as an example of patience in suffering evil.

riversident@James:5:11 @ We call them blessed because they endured. You have heard of the patience of Job and have seen the end of the Lord's dealings with him, that the Lord is very tender and compassionate.

riversident@1Peter:1:17 @ And if you call upon him as Father who impartially judges by each one's work, live out the time of your sojourn here in reverence,

riversident@1Peter:1:18 @ for you know that you were not ransomed with perishable things, silver or gold, from your purposeless life handed down from your forefathers,

riversident@1Peter:1:21 @ who through him are faithful to God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.

riversident@1Peter:1:22 @ Now that you have made your souls holy by obedience to the truth for sincere brotherly love, you must love one another steadily from your hearts,

riversident@1Peter:2:2 @ and, like new-born babes, long for the reasonable pure milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation,

riversident@1Peter:2:7 @ To you who have faith is the "honor," but to the unbelieving "the stone which the builders rejected \'97 that has become the corner stone,

riversident@1Peter:2:9 @ But you are a chosen race, a kingly priesthood, a holy nation, God's own people, that you may proclaim the virtues of him who called you from darkness into his wonderful light.

riversident@1Peter:2:12 @ Keep your daily life among the Gentiles honorable, so that, although they talk against you as if you were wrongdoers, they may, from your noble deeds that they see, glorify God on the day of inspection.

riversident@1Peter:2:15 @ For this is the will of God \'97 that by doing good we shall silence the ignorance of thoughtless men.

riversident@1Peter:2:20 @ For what credit is it if when you sin and are struck with the fist you are patient? But if though doing well, you suffer and are patient, that is grace in God's sight.

riversident@1Peter:2:21 @ For to this you were called, because Christ too suffered for you, leaving you an example that you might follow in his foot-steps.

riversident@1Peter:2:23 @ When he was reviled he did not revile back; he suffered, but made no threat; he committed himself to him who judges justly.

riversident@1Peter:2:24 @ He bore our sins in his own body on the tree that we might die to sins and live to righteousness.

riversident@1Peter:3:1 @ IN the same way you wives are to be submissive to your own husbands, so that if any disbelieve the message they may be won over by the lives of their wives without argument,

riversident@1Peter:3:2 @ when they look at your pure, reverential behavior.

riversident@1Peter:3:7 @ In the same way, you husbands must live with your wives wisely, since woman's sex is weaker, but you must give them honor as fellow heirs of the grace of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered.

riversident@1Peter:3:8 @ Finally, all must be like-minded, sympathetic, full of brotherly love, compassionate, humble-minded,

riversident@1Peter:3:9 @ not repaying evil for evil or abuse for abuse, but rather blessing, for that is what you were called for \'97 to inherit a blessing.

riversident@1Peter:3:13 @ And who is it that will harm you if you become earnest for the good?

riversident@1Peter:3:16 @ Keep a good conscience that, although you are slandered, those who misrepresent your good life in Christ may be put to shame.

riversident@1Peter:3:17 @ For it is better to suffer, if that should be God's will, for doing good than for doing wrong.

riversident@1Peter:3:18 @ For Christ once for all died for sins, a righteous man for unrighteous men, so that he might lead us to God. He was put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit,

riversident@1Peter:3:19 @ in which he went and made proclamation to the imprisoned spirits

riversident@1Peter:3:20 @ who were once disobedient, when the long-suffering of God waited in the days of Noah while the ark was being prepared, into which a few, that is eight souls, went and were saved through water.

riversident@1Peter:4:2 @ so that he does not go on living what remains of his time in the flesh according to human passions, but according to God's will.

riversident@1Peter:4:3 @ The time that has passed was enough to spend doing the will of the Gentiles, when you went on in indecencies, passions, hard drinking, revelries, carousings, and lawless idolatries.

riversident@1Peter:4:4 @ In these they think it strange that you are not running with them to the same excess of profligacy, and they slander you.

riversident@1Peter:4:6 @ And for this purpose the good news was told even to the dead, that they might be judged like men in the flesh, but live as God does in the spirit.

riversident@1Peter:4:11 @ If any one speaks, let it be as uttering the oracles of God. If any one serves, let it be from the strength that God supplies. Thus in all things let God be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him be glory and strength for the ages of the ages! Amen.

riversident@1Peter:4:12 @ Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery fury that is among you, which has come to try you, as if some strange thing were happening to you.

riversident@1Peter:4:13 @ But rejoice since to this extent you are sharing the sufferings of Christ, that when his glory is revealed you may rejoice and exult.

riversident@1Peter:4:16 @ But if he suffers as a Christian he should not be ashamed, but should glorify God by that name.

riversident@1Peter:4:17 @ For the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God. And if it begins first with us, what will be the end of those who disobey the good news of God?

riversident@1Peter:4:19 @ So then let those who are suffering according to the will of God commit their souls in well-doing to a faithful Creator.

riversident@1Peter:5:2 @ I beg you to shepherd the flock of God that is among you, not because you must, but willingly, not for base gain, but eagerly,

riversident@1Peter:5:6 @ Humble yourselves, then, under the mighty hand of God so that he may lift you up at the right time.

riversident@1Peter:5:8 @ Be sober, watch. Your enemy the Devil, like a roaring lion, goes about seeking some one to devour.

riversident@1Peter:5:9 @ Resist him firm in the faith and knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being completed in your brotherhood throughout the world.

riversident@1Peter:5:12 @ By Silvanus, your faithful brother, as I esteem him, I am writing to you briefly, to encourage you and to testify that this is the true grace of God. Take your stand in it.

riversident@2Peter:1:4 @ and thereby great and precious promises have been granted to us, that through them you may escape the corruption that is in the world through passion and become sharers in the divine nature,

riversident@2Peter:1:9 @ But he who lacks these is blind, dim-sighted, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his former sins.

riversident@2Peter:1:10 @ Therefore endeavor more earnestly, brethren, to make sure that you have been called and chosen. For while doing these things you will never stumble.

riversident@2Peter:1:12 @ For this reason I shall always keep reminding you of these things, although you know them and are steadfast in the truth that you have.

riversident@2Peter:1:14 @ since I know that the laying aside of my tent will come soon, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made plain to me.

riversident@2Peter:1:15 @ I will endeavor also on every occasion to make it so that after my going you shall have these things in memory.

riversident@2Peter:1:17 @ For he received from God the Father honor and glory when such words as these were borne to him from the majestic glory, "This is my Son, the Beloved; in him I delight."

riversident@2Peter:1:19 @ Thus have we the words of the prophets confirmed, and you will do well to give attention to them as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts;

riversident@2Peter:1:20 @ since you know this first, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from any one's private interpretation,

riversident@2Peter:2:2 @ Many will follow their shameless ways and by these the path of truth will be profanely spoken of.

riversident@2Peter:2:3 @ In covetousness they will make gain out of you by their cunning words. But their condemnation from of old has not been inactive, and their destruction has not been sleeping.

riversident@2Peter:2:4 @ For if God did not spare angels that had sinned, but thrust them down to Tartarus and committed them to pits of darkness to be kept for judgment,

riversident@2Peter:2:6 @ and if reducing to ashes the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah he condemned them to destruction, making them an example for the godless of what would come upon them,

riversident@2Peter:2:8 @ for that righteous man living among them was tortured day and night in his righteous soul by the sight and hearing of their lawless deeds, \'97

riversident@2Peter:2:11 @ even where angels greater in strength and power do not bring against them an insulting charge before the Lord.

riversident@2Peter:2:12 @ But they, like irrational creatures, born mere animals for capture and destruction, while speaking profanely of things they are ignorant of, will be corrupted by their own corruption,

riversident@2Peter:2:15 @ Leaving the straight path they have wandered away following the path of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness.

riversident@2Peter:2:17 @ These men are springs without water, storm-driven mists for whom the blackness of darkness is reserved.

riversident@2Peter:2:18 @ For by speaking great empty swelling words they entrap in the passions of the flesh \'97 wanton excesses \'97 those who are nearly escaping from those who live in error.

riversident@2Peter:2:19 @ While they promise them liberty they themselves are the slaves of corruption; for by whatever any one is overcome to that he is enslaved.

riversident@2Peter:2:20 @ For if, after they have escaped the defilement of the world by the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they have been again entangled and overcome, their last state has become worse than the first.

riversident@2Peter:2:21 @ For it would be better for them not to have known the way of righteousness than after knowing it to turn back from the holy commandment that has been committed to them.

riversident@2Peter:2:22 @ That has happened to them which the true proverb says, "The dog returns to his own vomit and the sow after bathing returns to wallowing in the mire."

riversident@2Peter:3:3 @ First you should know this, that in the last days scoffers will come with their scoffing, living according to their own passions

riversident@2Peter:3:4 @ and saying, "Where is his promised coming? for since the fathers fell asleep all things remain as they have been since the beginning of the creation?"

riversident@2Peter:3:5 @ For they willfully forget that there were heavens of old and an earth formed out of water and through water by God's word.

riversident@2Peter:3:6 @ By these means the world that then was was flooded with water and destroyed.

riversident@2Peter:3:8 @ Do not forget this one thing, beloved, that one day with the Lord is like a thousand years and a thousand years are like one day.

riversident@2Peter:3:9 @ The Lord is not slow about what he has promised, as some think of slowness, but is long-suffering toward us, wishing not to have any perish but to have all come to a change of heart.

riversident@2Peter:3:10 @ But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. On that day the heavens will pass away with a loud noise and the burning elements will be dissolved and the earth and the things in it will not be found.

riversident@2Peter:3:11 @ Since all of these things are to be dissolved, what sort of persons ought you to be in holy lives and piety,

riversident@2Peter:3:15 @ and regard the long-suffering of our Lord as salvation, as also our beloved brother Paul has written to you, according to the wisdom given to him.

riversident@1John:1:1 @ WHAT was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we looked upon and our hands touched \'97 it is about the Word of Life

riversident@1John:1:3 @ what wo have seen and heard we are telling you also, so that you may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ.

riversident@1John:1:4 @ We are writing this that our joy may be complete.

riversident@1John:1:5 @ This is the message which we have heard from him and tell to you, God is light and in him is no darkness at all.

riversident@1John:2:1 @ MY children, I am writing this to you in order that you may not sin. Even if any one sins, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ, who is righteous.

riversident@1John:2:2 @ And he is an atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only but for those of the whole world.

riversident@1John:2:3 @ By this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commands.

riversident@1John:2:5 @ But whoever keeps his word, truly in him the love of God has been made perfect. By this we know that we are in him.

riversident@1John:2:6 @ He who says that he is abiding in him ought himself to live as he lived.

riversident@1John:2:7 @ Beloved, I am not writing a new command for you, but an old command, which you have had from the beginning. The old command is the message that you have heard.

riversident@1John:2:9 @ He who says that he is in the light and hates his brother is in darkness still.

riversident@1John:2:11 @ He who hates his brother is in darkness and walks in darkness and knows not where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

riversident@1John:2:13 @ I am writing to you, fathers, because you have come to know him who has been from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have conquered the Evil One. I have written to you, little children, because you have come to know the Father.

riversident@1John:2:14 @ I have written to you, fathers, because you have come to know him who has been from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong and the message of God remains in you and you have conquered the Evil One.

riversident@1John:2:15 @ Do not love the world nor the things that are in the world. If any one loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him;

riversident@1John:2:16 @ for all that is in the world, the passions of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the show and pride of life, is not from the Father, but from the world.

riversident@1John:2:18 @ Little children, it is the last hour, and as you have heard that Antichrist is coming, even now many Antichrists have arisen. By this we know that it is the last hour.

riversident@1John:2:19 @ 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 so that it might be plainly seen that not all are of us.

riversident@1John:2:21 @ I am not writing to you because you do not know the truth, but because you know it and know that no lie is from the truth.

riversident@1John:2:22 @ Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is the Antichrist who denies the Father and the Son.

riversident@1John:2:23 @ No one who denies the Son has the Father either. He who confesses the Son has the Father also.

riversident@1John:2:24 @ Let what you have heard from the beginning remain in you. If what you have heard from the beginning remains in you, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father.

riversident@1John:2:25 @ And this is the promise that he has promised us \'97 the life eternal.

riversident@1John:2:27 @ But as for you, the anointing that you have received from him remains in you and you have no need for any one to teach you, but as his anointing teaches you about all things and is true and is no lie and as it has taught you, you must remain in him.

riversident@1John:2:28 @ And now, little children, remain in him so that if he appears we may have confidence and not shrink in shame from him at his coming.

riversident@1John:2:29 @ If you know that he is righteous, you know that every one who does righteousness has been born of him.

riversident@1John:3:1 @ SEE what love the Father has bestowed on us that we should be called children of God. And so we are. The reason why tho world does not know us is that it did not know him.

riversident@1John:3:2 @ Beloved, we are now children of God and it is not yet plain what we shall be. But we know that if he appears we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.

riversident@1John:3:5 @ You know that Christ appeared to take away sins and in him there is no sin.

riversident@1John:3:11 @ For this is the message which you have heard from the beginning, that we must love one another.

riversident@1John:3:12 @ Not like Cain, who was of the Wicked One and killed his brother. And for what reason did he kill him? Because his own deeds were wicked and his brother's righteous.

riversident@1John:3:13 @ Do not be surprised, brethren, if the world hates you.

riversident@1John:3:14 @ We know that we have passed from death into life because we love the brethren. Whoever does not love remains in death.

riversident@1John:3:15 @ Every one who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has life eternal remaining in him.

riversident@1John:3:16 @ By this we have come to know love \'97 that Christ laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

riversident@1John:3:17 @ But if any one has this world's goods and sees his brother in need and shuts away his sympathies from him, how can the love of God remain in him?

riversident@1John:3:19 @ By this we shall know that we are of the truth and shall give confidence to our hearts in his presence,

riversident@1John:3:20 @ because if our hearts condemn us God is greater than our hearts and knows all things.

riversident@1John:3:22 @ and whatever we ask we receive from him, because we keep his commands and do what is pleasing in his sight.

riversident@1John:3:24 @ He who keeps his commands remains in God and God remains in him. By this we know that God remains in us \'97 by the Spirit which he has given to us.

riversident@1John:4:2 @ By this we know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God,

riversident@1John:4:3 @ and no spirit that does not confess Jesus is from God. This is the spirit of Antichrist, which you have heard is coming into the world and is already in the world.

riversident@1John:4:4 @ But you are of God, little children, and have conquered them, because he who is in us is greater than he who is in the world.

riversident@1John:4:5 @ They belong to the world and for that reason they speak as the world speaks and the world listens to them.

riversident@1John:4:9 @ By this the love of God to us was made plain: that God sent his only Son into the world so that we may have life through him.

riversident@1John:4:10 @ In this is love \'97 not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son to be an atoning sacrifice for our sins.

riversident@1John:4:13 @ By this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has imparted to us of his Spirit.

riversident@1John:4:14 @ We have seen and we bear witness that the Father has sent the Son to be the Savior of the world.

riversident@1John:4:15 @ Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him and he in God.

riversident@1John:4:17 @ Thus love has been made perfect with us so that we may have confidence on the day of judgment, because as God is we also are in this world.

riversident@1John:4:20 @ If any one says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar. For he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen.

riversident@1John:4:21 @ This command we have from him, that he who loves God shall love his brother also.

riversident@1John:5:1 @ EVERY one who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and every one who loves the father who gave him life loves every one who has received life from that father.

riversident@1John:5:2 @ By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and do his commands.

riversident@1John:5:4 @ because all that is born of God conquers the world. And this is the victory that conquers the world, our faith.

riversident@1John:5:5 @ Who is the conqueror of the world but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

riversident@1John:5:6 @ This is he who came through water and blood, Jesus Christ. Not with the water only, but with the water and the blood. And the Spirit is the witness, because the Spirit is the truth.

riversident@1John:5:8 @ For there are three that bear witness, the Spirit and the water and the blood, and the three are in accord.

riversident@1John:5:9 @ If we accept the testimony of men the testimony of God is greater; for this is God's testimony, that he has testified regarding his Son.

riversident@1John:5:11 @ This is the testimony: that God has given to us life eternal and this life is in his Son.

riversident@1John:5:13 @ I am writing this to you so that you may know that you have life eternal, you who believe in the name of the Son of God.

riversident@1John:5:14 @ This is the confidence that we have toward him: that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us.

riversident@1John:5:15 @ And if we know that he hears us when we ask anything, we know that we obtain the things that we have asked of him.

riversident@1John:5:16 @ If any one sees his brother committing a sin that is not deadly, he must ask and God will give him life for those who are committing sin that is not deadly. There is sin that is deadly. I do not say that he should pray in behalf of that.

riversident@1John:5:17 @ All unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin that is not deadly.

riversident@1John:5:18 @ We know that every one who has been born of God lives without sinning, but he who was born of God keeps him, and the Evil One does not lay hold of him.

riversident@1John:5:19 @ We know that we are of God and the whole world lies in the Evil One.

riversident@1John:5:20 @ We know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding to know him who is true, and we are in him who is true and in his Son, Jesus Christ. This is the true God and life eternal.

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

riversident@2John:1:4 @ I rejoiced greatly to find some of your children living in truth, as we received command from the Father.

riversident@2John:1:5 @ And now I pray you, Lady, not as if writing a new command for you, but one that we have had from the beginning, let us love one another.

riversident@2John:1:6 @ This is love: to live by his commands. This is the command, as you heard from the beginning that you must live by it.

riversident@2John:1:7 @ For many deceivers have come out into the world and they do not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh. Such a one is the deceiver and the Antichrist.

riversident@2John:1:8 @ Guard yourselves so as not to lose what we have worked for, but so that you may gain a full reward.

riversident@2John:1:9 @ Every one who goes forward and does not remain in the teaching of Christ is without God. He who remains in the teaching, he has the Father and the Son.

riversident@2John:1:12 @ I have much to write to you, but I will not do it with paper and ink. I hope to be with you soon and to speak face to face so that our joy may be complete.

riversident@3John:1:2 @ Beloved, I pray that in everything you may prosper and be in health, just as your soul now prospers.

riversident@3John:1:3 @ For I rejoiced greatly when brethren came and testified to your truth \'97 that you are living in the truth.

riversident@3John:1:4 @ I have no greater joy than this: to hear that my children are living in the truth.

riversident@3John:1:5 @ Beloved, you do faithfully whatever work you do for the brethren, even when they are strangers,

riversident@3John:1:7 @ For it was for the Name that they came out, taking nothing from the Gentiles.

riversident@3John:1:10 @ Therefore, if I come I will bring to mind the works that he is doing, accusing us with wicked words, and not satisfied with that, neither does he receive the brethren, and he hinders those who wish to do so and expels them from the church.

riversident@3John:1:11 @ Beloved, do not imitate evil, but good. He who does good is of God. He who does evil has not seen God.

riversident@3John:1:12 @ Testimony has been borne to Demetrius by all and by the truth itself. We too bear testimony, and you know that our testimony is true.

riversident@Jude:1:1 @ JUDE, a servant of Jesus Christ and a brother of James, to those who are in God the Father, beloved, kept for Jesus Christ and called:

riversident@Jude:1:3 @ Beloved, although I have been making every effort to write to you regarding our common salvation, I now find it necessary to write and urge you to contend vigorously for the faith that was once for all delivered to the holy.

riversident@Jude:1:5 @ I wish to remind you, although you know all things once for all, that the Lord, after saving a people from the land of Egypt, then destroyed those who had no faith;

riversident@Jude:1:6 @ and angels who did not keep their own rank, but left their own abode, he has kept for the judgment of the great day in everlasting chains under blackness of darkness.

riversident@Jude:1:7 @ So Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them, which in the same way gave themselves up to unchastity and the pursuit of unnatural vices, serve as an example while they undergo the punishment of eternal fire.

riversident@Jude:1:10 @ But these speak profanely of whatever they do not know, and all that physically as irrational animals they do understand, in these things they corrupt themselves.

riversident@Jude:1:11 @ Alas for them! for they have traveled in the path of Cain, and for hire have rushed headlong into the error of Balaam, and have perished in the rebellious talk of Korah.

riversident@Jude:1:12 @ These are the hidden reefs in your love-feasts while they feast freely with you without fear, shepherds who care only for themselves, waterless clouds driven by winds, trees in autumn fruitless, twice dead, uprooted,

riversident@Revelation:4:1 @ AFTER this I looked and there was an open door in heaven and the voice that I had heard at first, as if of a trumpet speaking with me, said, "Come up here and I will show you things that must come to pass hereafter."

riversident@Revelation:4:2 @ Immediately I became in the Spirit. A throne was standing in heaven and on the throne One was sitting.

riversident@Revelation:4:3 @ He who was sitting there was in appearance like a jasper stone and a sardius. A rainbow, in appearance like an emerald, encircled the throne.

riversident@Revelation:4:4 @ Around the throne I saw twenty-four thrones and on these thrones twenty-four elders seated, clothed in white garments and with golden crowns on their heads.

riversident@Revelation:4:5 @ From the throne issued lightnings and voices and thunders. There were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne. These are the seven Spirits of God.

riversident@Revelation:4:6 @ Before the throne there was as it were a glassy sea, like crystal. Near the throne and around the throne there were four living creatures full of eyes before and behind.

riversident@Revelation:4:7 @ The first living creature was like a lion, the second living creature was like a calf, the third living creature had a face like a man's, and the fourth living creature was like a flying eagle.

riversident@Revelation:4:8 @ The four living creatures have each six wings, and around and within they are full of eyes. They cease not saying day and night, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come."

riversident@Revelation:4:9 @ And when the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to him who sits on the throne, who lives for the ages of the ages,

riversident@Revelation:4:10 @ the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne and worship him who lives for the ages of the ages, and they cast their crowns before the throne saying,

riversident@Revelation:4:11 @ "Worthy art thou, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for thou didst create all things and because of thy will they existed and were created."

riversident@Revelation:5:1 @ THEN I saw in the right hand of him who was sitting on the throne a book with writing inside and outside and closely sealed with seven seals.

riversident@Revelation:5:2 @ I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, "Who is worthy to open the book and loose its seals?"

riversident@Revelation:5:3 @ But no one in heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the book or to look into it.

riversident@Revelation:5:4 @ I wept much because no one was found worthy to open the book or to look into it.

riversident@Revelation:5:5 @ Then one of the elders said to me, "Do not weep. The Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has conquered and can open the book and its seven seals."

riversident@Revelation:5:6 @ Then I saw midway between the throne and the four living creatures and the elders a Lamb standing. He seemed as if he had been slain. He had seven horns and seven eyes which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.

riversident@Revelation:5:7 @ He came and took the book from the right hand of him who was sitting on the throne.

riversident@Revelation:5:8 @ When he took the book the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp and a golden bowl full of incense, which is the prayers of the holy.

riversident@Revelation:5:9 @ Then they sang a new song, saying, "Worthy art thou to take the book and to open its seals, for thou wast slain and didst ransom for God by thy blood men from every tribe and tongue and people and nation,

riversident@Revelation:5:10 @ and hast made them a kingdom of priests to our God, and they shall be kings on the earth."

riversident@Revelation:5:11 @ Then I looked and I heard the voices of many angels encircling the throne and the voices of the four living creatures and of the elders \'97 the number of them was myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands \'97

riversident@Revelation:5:12 @ crying aloud, "Worthy is the Lamb who was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing."

riversident@Revelation:5:13 @ And every creature that is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all creatures in them, I heard saying, "To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor and glory and power for the ages of the ages."

riversident@Revelation:5:14 @ The four living creatures said, "Amen," and the elders fell down and worshiped.

riversident@Revelation:6:1 @ THEN I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals and I heard one of the living creatures say, as if with a voice of thunder, "Come."

riversident@Revelation:6:2 @ I looked and there came a white horse, and he who was sitting on it had a bow, and a crown was given to him and he went forth conquering and to conquer.

riversident@Revelation:6:3 @ When he opened the second seal I heard the second living creature say, "Come."

riversident@Revelation:6:4 @ Then another horse came out. It was fiery red, and to him who was sitting on it was granted to take peace from the earth so that men should kill one another, and a great sword was given to him.

riversident@Revelation:6:5 @ When he opened the third seal I heard the third living creature say, "Come." I looked and there came a black horse, and he who was sitting on it had a pair of scales in his hand.

riversident@Revelation:6:6 @ I heard what seemed a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, "A measure of wheat for a shilling and three measures of barley for a shilling. But do no harm to the oil or the wine."

riversident@Revelation:6:7 @ When he opened the fourth seal I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, "Come."

riversident@Revelation:6:8 @ I looked and there came a pale yellow horse. The name of him who was sitting on it was Death, and Hades was following along with him. Authority was granted to them over one fourth of the earth, to kill with the sword and with famine and with pestilence and with the wild beasts of the earth.

riversident@Revelation:6:9 @ When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the sake of God's message and because of the testimony which they had borne.

riversident@Revelation:6:10 @ They cried with a loud voice, saying, "How long, O Ruler holy and true, wilt thou delay to judge and take vengeance for our blood upon those who dwell on the earth?"

riversident@Revelation:6:11 @ To each of them a white robe was given, and it was said to them that they must wait quietly yet a little while until the number of their fellow servants and their brethren was complete, who were yet to be killed as they had been.

riversident@Revelation:6:12 @ I saw when he opened the sixth seal and there came a great earthquake and the sun became black, like sackcloth of hair, and the moon became all like blood

riversident@Revelation:6:13 @ and the stars of heaven fell to the ground, as a fig tree drops its unripe figs when shaken by a strong wind,

riversident@Revelation:6:14 @ and the sky passed away like a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place.

riversident@Revelation:6:15 @ Then the kings of the earth and the great men and the generals and the rich and the strong and every slave and freeman hid themselves in the caves and the rocks of the mountains

riversident@Revelation:6:16 @ and said to the mountains and the rocks, "Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb,

riversident@Revelation:6:17 @ for the day, the great day, of their wrath has come and who can stand?"

riversident@Revelation:7:1 @ AFTER this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, so that no wind might blow on the land or on the sea or on any tree.

riversident@Revelation:7:2 @ Then I saw another angel ascending from the east, with the seal of the living God. He cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it had been granted to harm the land and the sea

riversident@Revelation:7:3 @ and said, "Do not harm the land or the sea or any tree until we seal the servants of our God on their foreheads."

riversident@Revelation:7:4 @ I heard the number of those who were sealed, a hundred and forty-four thousand, sealed from every tribe of the sons of Israel:

riversident@Revelation:7:5 @ Of the tribe of Judah, twelve thousand sealed, Of the tribe of Reuben, twelve thousand, Of the tribe of Gad, twelve thousand,

riversident@Revelation:7:6 @ Of the tribe of Asher, twelve thousand, Of the tribe of Naphtali, twelve thousand, Of the tribe of Manasseh, twelve thousand,

riversident@Revelation:7:7 @ Of the tribe of Simeon, twelve thousand, Of the tribe of Levi, twelve thousand, Of the tribe of Issachar, twelve thousand,

riversident@Revelation:7:8 @ Of the tribe of Zebulon, twelve thousand, Of the tribe of Joseph, twelve thousand, Of the tribe of Benjamin, twelve thousand.

riversident@Revelation:7:9 @ After this I looked and there was a great multitude which no one could count, out of all nations and tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb clothed in white robes and with palms in their hands,

riversident@Revelation:7:10 @ and they shouted with a loud voice saying, "Salvation to our God who sits upon the throne and to the Lamb!"

riversident@Revelation:7:11 @ And all the angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God

riversident@Revelation:7:12 @ saying, "Amen. Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and strength be to our God for the ages of the ages! Amen."

riversident@Revelation:7:13 @ Then one of the elders spoke to me and said, "These who wear the white robes \'97 who are they and where have they come from?"

riversident@Revelation:7:14 @ I said to him, "My Lord, you know." He said to me, "These have come out of the great distress and have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

riversident@Revelation:7:15 @ For this reason they are before the throne of God and worship him day and night in his Temple, and he who sits on the throne will spread his tent over them.

riversident@Revelation:7:16 @ They will not hunger any more nor thirst any more, nor will the sun strike on them nor any burning heat,

riversident@Revelation:7:17 @ for the Lamb who is in the center before the throne will be their shepherd and will lead them to springs of living water, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."

riversident@Revelation:8:1 @ WHEN he opened the seventh seal there came a silence in heaven for about half an hour.

riversident@Revelation:8:2 @ Then I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them.

riversident@Revelation:8:3 @ Another angel came and stood at the altar with a golden censer, and much incense was given to him for him to put with the prayers of all the holy on the golden altar before the throne.

riversident@Revelation:8:4 @ The smoke of the incense from the hand of the angel went up with the prayers of the holy before God.

riversident@Revelation:8:5 @ Then the angel took the censer and filled it from the fire of the altar and cast it to the earth, and there were thunders and voices and lightnings and an earthquake.

riversident@Revelation:8:6 @ Then the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound them.

riversident@Revelation:8:7 @ The first sounded his trumpet and there came hail and fire mixed with blood, and it was hurled upon the earth. A third of the earth was burned up and a third of the trees were burned up and all green grass was burned up.

riversident@Revelation:8:8 @ The second angel sounded his trumpet and, as it were, a great mountain burning with fire was hurled into the sea. A third of the sea became blood

riversident@Revelation:8:9 @ and a third of the creatures in the sea, those that had life, died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.

riversident@Revelation:8:10 @ The third angel sounded his trumpet and there fell from heaven a great star burning like a torch. It fell upon a third of the rivers and upon the springs of water.

riversident@Revelation:8:11 @ The name of the star is called Wormwood. Then a third of the waters became worm-wood, and many people died from the waters because they had been made bitter.

riversident@Revelation:8:12 @ The fourth angel sounded his trumpet and a blight fell upon a third part of the sun and a third part of the moon and a third part of the stars, so that a third part of them was darkened, and the day had no light for a third part of it, and the night was darkened in the same way.

riversident@Revelation:8:13 @ Then I looked and I heard an eagle that was flying in mid-heaven say with a loud voice, "Woe, woe, woe to those who are living on the earth, because of the rest of the trumpet-blasts which the three angels are soon to sound!"

riversident@Revelation:9:1 @ THE fifth angel sounded his trumpet and I saw a star that had fallen from heaven to the earth. There was given to him the key of the pit of the abyss.

riversident@Revelation:9:2 @ And he opened the pit of the abyss and smoke came up from the pit like the smoke of a great furnace, and the sun was darkened and the air also by the smoke of the pit.

riversident@Revelation:9:3 @ Out of the smoke came locusts upon the earth, and power was given to them such as earthly scorpions have.

riversident@Revelation:9:4 @ It was said to them that they should not harm the grass of the earth nor anything green nor any tree, but only the people that did not have the seal of God on their foreheads.

riversident@Revelation:9:5 @ It was not granted to them to kill such, but to torment them five months. Their torture was like the torture of a scorpion when it strikes a man.

riversident@Revelation:9:6 @ In those days men will seek for death and will not find it and will long to die, but death will fly from them.

riversident@Revelation:9:7 @ The appearance of the locusts was like that of horses equipped for battle. On their heads were, as it were, crowns like gold, and their faces were like human faces.

riversident@Revelation:9:8 @ They had hair like the hair of women. Their teeth were like those of lions.

riversident@Revelation:9:9 @ They had breastplates like breastplates of iron. The noise of their wings was like the noise of many-horsed chariots rushing into battle.

riversident@Revelation:9:10 @ They have tails as scorpions have, and stings, and with their tails they have power to harm men five months.

riversident@Revelation:9:11 @ They have over them a king, the angel of the abyss, whose name (note:)Destroyer(:note) is in Hebrew Abaddon, but in Greek Apollyon.

riversident@Revelation:9:12 @ One woe has passed. Two woes are still to come.

riversident@Revelation:9:13 @ The sixth angel sounded his trumpet and I heard a voice from the horns of the golden altar before God

riversident@Revelation:9:14 @ saying to the sixth angel with the trumpet, "Loose the four angels that are chained at the great river Euphrates."

riversident@Revelation:9:15 @ So the four angels were loosed, they who were prepared for the hour and day and month and year to kill a third of men.

riversident@Revelation:9:16 @ The number of the troops of cavalry was twice ten thousand times ten thousand. I heard their number.

riversident@Revelation:9:17 @ This is how the horses and those who sat on them appeared to me in the vision: The riders had breastplates, fiery red, dark blue, and sulphur yellow. The heads of the horses were like the heads of lions, and from their mouths came fire and smoke and sulphur.

riversident@Revelation:9:18 @ By these three plagues a third of men were killed \'97 by the fire and the smoke and the sulphur that came out of their mouths.

riversident@Revelation:9:19 @ For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails. For their tails are like serpents with heads, and with these they do injury.

riversident@Revelation:9:20 @ But the rest of men, who were not killed by these plagues, neither repented of the deeds of their hands nor ceased worshiping the demons and their idols of gold and silver and brass and stone and wood, which can neither see nor hear nor walk,

riversident@Revelation:9:21 @ nor did they repent of their murders nor of their magic nor of their unchastities nor of their thefts.

riversident@Revelation:10:1 @ THEN I saw another strong angel descending from heaven. He was clothed in a cloud and the rainbow was over his head. His face was like the sun and his legs were like pillars of fire.

riversident@Revelation:10:2 @ He had in his hand a little book open. He set his right foot on the sea and his left on the land

riversident@Revelation:10:3 @ and shouted with a loud voice like the roar of a lion. When he had shouted the seven thunders spoke, each its own message.

riversident@Revelation:10:4 @ When the seven thunders had spoken I was about to write. But I heard a voice from heaven saying, "Seal up what the seven thunders have spoken and do not write it."

riversident@Revelation:10:5 @ Then the angel whom I had seen standing on the sea and on the land lifted his right hand to heaven

riversident@Revelation:10:6 @ and swore by him who lives for the ages of the ages, who formed heaven and all things in it and the earth and all things upon it and the sea and all things in it, "There shall be no more delay,

riversident@Revelation:10:7 @ but in the days of the blast of the seventh angel, when he soon shall sound his trumpet, then the mystery of God has been finished, according to the good news that he gave to his servants the prophets."

riversident@Revelation:10:8 @ Then the voice which I had heard from heaven spoke again with me and said, "Go, take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land."

riversident@Revelation:10:9 @ So I went to the angel and told him to give me the little book. He said to me, "Take it and eat it. It will make your stomach bitter, though in your mouth it will be sweet like honey."

riversident@Revelation:10:10 @ I took the little book from the hand of the angel and ate it, and in my mouth it was sweet like honey, but after I had eaten it my stomach was made bitter.

riversident@Revelation:10:11 @ They said to me, "You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, tongues, and kings."

riversident@Revelation:11:1 @ THEN a reed like a measuring stick was given to me with the words, "Rise and measure the Temple of God and the altar and those who are worshiping at it.

riversident@Revelation:11:2 @ But the court outside the Temple omit and do not measure it, for it has been given over to the Gentiles and they will trample down the holy city forty-two months.

riversident@Revelation:11:3 @ I will grant to my two witnesses to prophesy a thousand, two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.

riversident@Revelation:11:4 @ They are the two olive trees and the two lampstands which stand before the Lord of the earth.

riversident@Revelation:11:5 @ If any one wishes to harm them fire comes from their mouths and consumes their enemies. If any one shall wish to harm them, in this way he must be killed.

riversident@Revelation:11:6 @ They have power to shut up heaven so that no rain shall fall during the days that they are prophesying, and they have power over the waters to turn them into blood and power to smite the earth with every kind of plague as often as they please.

riversident@Revelation:11:7 @ When they have completed their testimony, the Beast that is coming up out of the abyss will make war with them and conquer them and kill them.

riversident@Revelation:11:8 @ Their corpses will lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified.

riversident@Revelation:11:9 @ Men of all peoples and tribes and tongues and nations will look at their corpses three days and a half and will not permit their corpses to be placed in a tomb.

riversident@Revelation:11:10 @ Those who live on the earth will rejoice over them and make merry and send gifts to one another, because the two prophets tormented those who live on the earth."

riversident@Revelation:11:11 @ After the three days and a half the breath of life from God entered into them and they stood on their feet. Then great fear fell on those who were looking at them.

riversident@Revelation:11:12 @ They heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, "Come up here," and they went up into heaven in the cloud while their enemies were looking at them.

riversident@Revelation:11:13 @ At that hour occurred a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell and seven thousand men were killed by the earthquake. The rest were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.

riversident@Revelation:11:14 @ The second Woe has passed: the third Woe will come soon.

riversident@Revelation:11:15 @ The seventh angel sounded his trumpet and there came loud voices in heaven saying, "The kingship of the world has become our Lord's and his Christ's and he will be king for the ages of the ages."

riversident@Revelation:11:16 @ Then the twenty-four elders who sit on their thrones before God fell on their faces and worshiped God,

riversident@Revelation:11:17 @ saying, "We thank thee, Lord God Almighty, who art and wast, that thou hast taken thy great power and hast become king.

riversident@Revelation:11:18 @ The Gentiles raged, but thy wrath came and the time to judge the dead and to give the reward to thy servants the prophets and to the holy who reverence thy name, the small and the great, and to destroy those who are destroying the earth."

riversident@Revelation:11:19 @ Then the Temple of God in heaven was opened and the ark of his covenant in his temple was seen in his temple, and there came lightnings and voices and thunders and an earthquake and a great hailstorm.

riversident@Revelation:12:1 @ A GREAT sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun. The moon was under her feet and on her head was a crown of twelve stars.

riversident@Revelation:12:2 @ She was with child and cried out in the pangs and anguish of child-birth.

riversident@Revelation:12:3 @ There appeared also another sign in heaven, a great fiery-red Dragon with seven heads and ten horns. On his heads were seven diadems

riversident@Revelation:12:4 @ and his tail dragged a third of the stars of heaven and hurled them to the ground. The Dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth to a child, so that he might devour the child as soon as it was born.

riversident@Revelation:12:5 @ She gave birth to a son who is to shepherd all the nations with a rod of iron. Then the child was caught up to God and to his throne.

riversident@Revelation:12:6 @ The woman fled into the wilderness where she has from God a prepared place, that they may nourish her there a thousand two hundred and sixty days.

riversident@Revelation:12:7 @ War arose in heaven. Michael and his angels fought with the Dragon. The Dragon and his angels fought,

riversident@Revelation:12:8 @ but they failed, and no place was found for them any longer in heaven.

riversident@Revelation:12:9 @ Then was hurled down the great Dragon, the ancient serpent who is called the Devil and Satan, who misleads the whole world \'97 he was hurled to the earth and his angels were hurled with him.

riversident@Revelation:12:10 @ I heard a loud voice in heaven say, "Now has come the salvation and power and kingship of our God and the authority of his Christ, because the accuser of our brethren has been hurled down, he who accuses them before our God day and night.

riversident@Revelation:12:11 @ But they have conquered him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of testimony to him, and they loved not their lives even to death.

riversident@Revelation:12:12 @ Therefore, rejoice, O heavens, and you who tent in them! Alas for the land and the sea! For the Devil has gone down to you in great wrath, knowing that he has but a little time."

riversident@Revelation:12:13 @ When the Dragon saw that he had been hurled to the earth he pursued the woman who had given birth to the man-child.

riversident@Revelation:12:14 @ Then there were given to the woman two wings of a great eagle to fly into the wilderness to her place, where she shall be fed for a time and times and half a time, hidden from the view of the Serpent.

riversident@Revelation:12:15 @ The Serpent poured from his mouth after the woman water like a river, to sweep her away with a flood.

riversident@Revelation:12:16 @ But the earth helped the woman and the earth opened its mouth and drank up the river that the Dragon had poured out of his mouth.

riversident@Revelation:12:17 @ Then the Dragon was enraged against the woman and went away to make war with the rest of her offspring who keep the commands of God and hold the testimony concerning Jesus.

riversident@Revelation:13:1 @ THEN I stood on the sand of the sea and I saw rising out of the sea a Beast with ten horns and seven heads. On his horns were ten diadems and upon his heads were profane names.

riversident@Revelation:13:2 @ The Beast that I saw was like a leopard, but his feet were like a bear's feet and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The Dragon gave to him his own power and his throne and great authority.

riversident@Revelation:13:3 @ I saw one of his heads, as it were, mortally wounded, but the mortal wound was healed. The whole world followed the Beast in amazement,

riversident@Revelation:13:4 @ and they worshiped the Dragon because he had given such power to the Beast, and they worshiped the Beast, saying, "Who is like the Beast, and who can battle with him?"

riversident@Revelation:13:5 @ There was given to him a mouth speaking boasts and profanities, and there was given to him power to act for forty-two months.

riversident@Revelation:13:6 @ He opened his mouth to insult God, to speak profanely of his name and of his Tent and of those who tent in heaven.

riversident@Revelation:13:7 @ It was granted to the Beast to make war with the holy and to conquer them, and power was granted to him over every tribe and people and tongue and nation.

riversident@Revelation:13:8 @ All the inhabitants of the earth will worship him, all whose names have not been written from the foundation of the world in the slain Iamb's Book of Life.

riversident@Revelation:13:9 @ If any one has an ear let him hear.

riversident@Revelation:13:10 @ If any one is destined to captivity, into captivity he will go. If any one is to be killed by the sword, by the sword must he be killed. Here is the endurance and the faith of the holy.

riversident@Revelation:13:11 @ Then I saw another Beast coming up out of the land. It had two horns like those of a lamb, but it spoke like a dragon.

riversident@Revelation:13:12 @ It exercises all the authority of the first Beast in his presence. It compels the earth and its inhabitants to worship the first Beast whose mortal wound was healed.

riversident@Revelation:13:13 @ It does great signs, making fire descend from heaven to earth in the sight of men.

riversident@Revelation:13:14 @ It leads astray the inhabitants of the earth because of the signs which it has been granted power to do in the presence of the Beast. It tells the inhabitants of the earth to make an image of the Beast which was wounded by the sword, yet lived.

riversident@Revelation:13:15 @ Power was granted to it to give breath to the image of the Beast, so that the image of the Beast spoke and it caused all who did not worship the image of the Beast to be put to death.

riversident@Revelation:13:16 @ It causes all, small and great, rich and poor, freemen and slaves, to have a mark put on their right hands or on their foreheads,

riversident@Revelation:13:17 @ so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark \'97 the name of the Beast or the number of his name.

riversident@Revelation:13:18 @ Here wisdom is required. Let him who has understanding count the number of the Beast; for it is the number of a man. His number is six hundred and sixty-six.

riversident@Revelation:14:1 @ THEN I looked and there was a Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with him a hundred and forty-four thousand who had his name and the name of his Father written on their fore-heads.

riversident@Revelation:14:2 @ I heard a sound from heaven like the sound of many waters, like the sound of loud thunder. The sound that I heard was as of harpers playing on their harps.

riversident@Revelation:14:3 @ They sang a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders. No one could learn the song except the hundred and forty-four thousand who had been ransomed from the earth.

riversident@Revelation:14:4 @ These are they who were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. They follow the Lamb wherever he goes. They were ransomed from among men as first-fruits for God and the Lamb.

riversident@Revelation:14:5 @ No lie was found in their mouths. They are stainless.

riversident@Revelation:14:6 @ Then I saw another angel flying in mid-heaven having eternal good news to proclaim to those who dwell on the earth, to every nation and tribe and tongue and people.

riversident@Revelation:14:7 @ He said in a loud voice, "Reverence God and give glory to him, for the hour of his judgment has come, and worship him who made heaven and earth and sea and springs of water."

riversident@Revelation:14:8 @ Another angel, a second, followed, saying, "Babylon the great has fallen, has fallen, she who has made all the nations drink of the wine of her passion for unchastity."

riversident@Revelation:14:9 @ Another angel, a third, followed them, saying in a loud voice, "If any one worships the Beast and his image and receives his mark on his forehead and on his hand,

riversident@Revelation:14:10 @ he also will drink of the wine of God's passion which has been mixed undiluted in the cup of his wrath, and he will be tortured in fire and brimstone in the presence of holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb.

riversident@Revelation:14:11 @ And the smoke of their torture will ascend for ages of ages and they will have no rest day or night \'97 those who worship the Beast and his image, and any one who receives the mark of his name."

riversident@Revelation:14:12 @ Here is the endurance of the holy who keep the commands of God and the faith of Jesus.

riversident@Revelation:14:13 @ Then I heard a voice from heaven saying, "Write: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord henceforth." "Yes," says the Spirit, "that they may rest from their toils. For their works follow with them."

riversident@Revelation:14:14 @ Then I looked and there was a white cloud, and sitting on the cloud was one like a son of man. He had on his head a golden crown and in his hand a sharp sickle.

riversident@Revelation:14:15 @ Another angel came out of the Temple and shouted with a loud voice to him who was sitting on the cloud, "Thrust in your sickle and reap, for the hour to reap has come, for the harvest of the earth is dry."

riversident@Revelation:14:16 @ He who was sitting on the cloud swung his sickle over the earth and the earth was reaped.

riversident@Revelation:14:17 @ Then another angel came out from the Temple that is in heaven and he too had a sharp sickle.

riversident@Revelation:14:18 @ Another angel came out from the altar, he who has power over fire, and he called with a loud voice to him who had the sharp sickle, "Thrust in your sharp sickle and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, for its grapes are fully ripe."

riversident@Revelation:14:19 @ Then the angel swung his sickle to the earth and gathered the vintage of the earth and flung it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.

riversident@Revelation:14:20 @ The winepress was trodden outside the city and blood came out from the wine-press as high as the horses' bridles for a thousand and six hundred furlongs.

riversident@Revelation:15:1 @ THEN I saw another sign in heaven. It was great and wonderful \'97 seven angels with the seven plagues which are the last, for with them the wrath of God is fully executed.

riversident@Revelation:15:2 @ Then I saw what was like a sea of glass mixed with fire, and those who had come victorious from the Beast and his image and the number of his name standing by the glassy sea with harps of God.

riversident@Revelation:15:3 @ They were singing the song of Moses the servant of God and the song of the Lamb, saying: "Great and wonderful are thy works, Lord God Almighty. Just and true are thy ways, O King of the nations.

riversident@Revelation:15:4 @ Who will not reverence and glorify thy name, O Lord? For thou only art holy. All the nations will come and worship before thee, because thy righteous acts have been made manifest."

riversident@Revelation:15:5 @ After this I looked and the Temple of the Tent of testimony in heaven was opened,

riversident@Revelation:15:6 @ and the seven angels with the seven last plagues came out of the Temple, clothed in pure shining linen and girded around their breasts with golden girdles.

riversident@Revelation:15:7 @ One of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls filled with the wrath of God who lives for the ages of the ages.

riversident@Revelation:15:8 @ The Temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from his power, and no one could enter the Temple until the seven plagues of the seven angels were finished.

riversident@Revelation:16:1 @ THEN I heard a loud voice saying from the Temple to the seven angels, "Go and pour out the seven bowls of the wrath of God upon the earth."

riversident@Revelation:16:2 @ The first went away and poured his bowl upon the land, and there came an evil and malignant ulcer on the men who had the mark of the Beast and those who worshiped its image.

riversident@Revelation:16:3 @ The second angel poured out his bowl upon the sea, and it became blood like that of a dead man and every living thing that was in the sea died.

riversident@Revelation:16:4 @ The third angel poured out his bowl upon the rivers and the springs of water, and they became blood.

riversident@Revelation:16:5 @ Then I heard the angel of the waters saying, "Just art thou who art and wast, the Holy One, because thou hast so judged,

riversident@Revelation:16:6 @ for they poured out the blood of thy holy ones and prophets and thou hast given them blood to drink. They deserve it."

riversident@Revelation:16:7 @ Then I heard the altar saying, "Yes, O Lord God Almighty, true and just are thy judgments."

riversident@Revelation:16:8 @ The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was granted to him to scorch men with fire.

riversident@Revelation:16:9 @ Men were scorched with great heat and they insulted the name of God who had power over these plagues, but they did not repent and give him glory.

riversident@Revelation:16:10 @ The fifth angel poured out his bowl upon the throne of the Beast, and his kingdom became darkened and men bit their tongues from pain

riversident@Revelation:16:11 @ and insulted the God of heaven for their pains and their ulcers, but they did not repent of their deeds.

riversident@Revelation:16:12 @ The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up to make a road ready for the kings from the sunrising.

riversident@Revelation:16:13 @ Then I saw come out of the mouth of the Dragon and out of the mouth of the Beast and out of the mouth of the False Prophet three impure spirits like frogs.

riversident@Revelation:16:14 @ They are the spirits of demons who work miracles, and they go forth to the kings of the whole habitable world to gather them for the battle of the great day of God the Almighty.

riversident@Revelation:16:15" />

riversident@Revelation:16:16 @ The spirits gathered them to the place called in Hebrew Har-Magedon.

riversident@Revelation:16:17 @ The seventh angel poured out his bowl on the air, and a loud voice came from the Temple, from the throne, saying, "It is done!"

riversident@Revelation:16:18 @ Then came lightnings and voices and thunders and a great earthquake. So great an earthquake has not occurred since man came upon the earth.

riversident@Revelation:16:19 @ The great city was divided into three parts and the cities of the Gentiles fell. Then Babylon the Great was remembered before God \'97 to give to her the cup of the wine of his fierce wrath.

riversident@Revelation:16:20 @ Every island fled and the mountains were not found.

riversident@Revelation:16:21 @ And great hailstones each weighing about a hundred pounds fell from heaven on men. Men insulted God because of the hail, for the plague of it was great.

riversident@Revelation:17:1 @ THEN came one of the seven angels that had the seven plagues and spoke with me. He said, "Come here. I will show you the doom of the great prostitute who sits on many waters

riversident@Revelation:17:2 @ and with whom the kings of the earth have committed lewdness, while the inhabitants of the earth have become drunk with the wine of her lewdness."

riversident@Revelation:17:3 @ He carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness. There I saw a woman sitting upon a scarlet beast covered with profane names, and with seven heads and ten horns.

riversident@Revelation:17:4 @ The woman was clothed in purple and scarlet and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls. She had in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of her lewdness.

riversident@Revelation:17:5 @ On her forehead was written a mysterious name: "Babylon the Great, the Mother of Prostitutes and of the abominations of the earth."

riversident@Revelation:17:6 @ I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the holy and with the blood of the witnesses for Jesus. When I saw her I wondered greatly.

riversident@Revelation:17:7 @ The angel said to me, "Why do you wonder? I will tell you the mystic meaning of the woman and the beast with seven heads and ten horns that carries her.

riversident@Revelation:17:8 @ The Beast which you saw was and is not and will soon come up out of the abyss and go into destruction. And the inhabitants of the earth whose names have not been written from the foundation of the world in the Book of Life will be amazed when they see the Beast that was and is not and will be.

riversident@Revelation:17:9 @ Here is need for a mind that has wisdom. "The seven heads are seven mountains upon which the woman sits.

riversident@Revelation:17:10 @ Also they are seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come; but when he comes he must stay but a little while.

riversident@Revelation:17:11 @ The Beast which was and is not is also himself an eighth, yet is one of the seven, and will go into destruction.

riversident@Revelation:17:12 @ The ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have not yet received kingly power, but they will receive power as kings for one hour with the Beast.

riversident@Revelation:17:13 @ They have one mind and they give over their power and authority to the Beast.

riversident@Revelation:17:14 @ They will make war with the Lamb, but the Lamb will conquer them, for he is Lord of lords and King of kings. They who are with him, called and chosen and faithful, will also conquer."

riversident@Revelation:17:15 @ He said to me, "The waters that you saw where the prostitute was sitting are peoples and crowds and nations and tongues.

riversident@Revelation:17:16 @ The ten horns that you saw and the Beast \'97 they hate the prostitute and will make her desolate and naked and they will devour her flesh and will burn her up with fire.

riversident@Revelation:17:17 @ For God has put it in their hearts to carry out his purpose, which is that they shall carry out one purpose and give their royal power to the Beast until the words of God are fulfilled.

riversident@Revelation:17:18 @ The woman that you saw is the great city that has kingly power over the kings of the earth."

riversident@Revelation:18:1 @ AFTER this I saw another angel descending from heaven with great power, and the earth was lit up with his splendor.

riversident@Revelation:18:2 @ He shouted with a powerful voice, saying, "Babylon the Great has fallen, has fallen, and has become a habitation of demons and a stronghold of every impure spirit and a stronghold of every unclean and detested bird.

riversident@Revelation:18:3 @ For all the nations have drunk of the wine of her passion for lewdness and the kings of the earth have committed lewdness with her and by the excess of her luxury the merchants of the earth have grown rich."

riversident@Revelation:18:4 @ Then I heard another voice from heaven saying, "Come out of her, my people, that you may not take part in her sins nor receive a share in her plagues,

riversident@Revelation:18:5 @ for her sins have been heaped up to heaven and God has remembered her unrighteous deeds.

riversident@Revelation:18:6 @ Repay to her as she has paid, and make it double for her deeds. In the cup she mixed mix double for her.

riversident@Revelation:18:7 @ As much as she glorified herself and played the wanton, so much give her torture and woe. For in her heart she says, 'I sit here a queen; no widow am I and woe I shall not see.'

riversident@Revelation:18:8 @ For this reason in one day her plagues will come, death and woe and famine, and she shall be burned up in fire. For strong is the Lord God who has judged her.

riversident@Revelation:18:9 @ "The kings of the earth who have committed lewdness with her and have reveled luxuriously, when they see the smoke of her burning, will wail and beat their breasts.

riversident@Revelation:18:10 @ Standing afar because of their dismay at her torture, they will say, 'Alas, alas, O great city, Babylon the strong city, for in one hour your doom has come!'

riversident@Revelation:18:11 @ The merchants of the earth will weep and wail over her, for no one will any longer buy their cargoes,

riversident@Revelation:18:12 @ cargoes of gold and silver and precious stones and pearls and fine linen and purple and silk and scarlet, all kinds of citrus wood and their many kinds of articles of ivory and their many kinds of articles of costliest wood and brass and iron and marble,

riversident@Revelation:18:13 @ and cinnamon and spice and incense and ointment and frankincense and wine, and olive oil and fine flour and wheat, and cattle and sheep and horses and chariots, and bodies and souls of men.

riversident@Revelation:18:14 @ The ripe fruits for which your soul longed have gone from you, and all your dainty and splendid things are lost to you and they will never more be found.

riversident@Revelation:18:16 @ and saying: 'Alas, alas, for the great city, clothed in fine linen and purple and scarlet and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls!

riversident@Revelation:18:17 @ For in one hour this vast wealth has given place to desolation.' " Every ship captain and every one who sails anywhere, and sailors and all who gain their living on the sea, stood afar

riversident@Revelation:18:18 @ and shouted as they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, "What city could compare with the great city?"

riversident@Revelation:18:19 @ They threw dust upon their heads and shouted as they wept and wailed, saying, "Alas, alas, for the great city in which all who had ships on the sea grew rich from her wealth! For in an hour she has been desolated.

riversident@Revelation:18:20 @ Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you the holy and you apostles and prophets! For God has pronounced sentence in your behalf against her."

riversident@Revelation:18:21 @ Then one strong angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and hurled it into the sea, saying, "With such violence shall Babylon the great city be hurled down and she will never more be found.

riversident@Revelation:18:22 @ The music of harpers and musicians and flute-players and trumpeters will never more be heard in you. No master of any art will ever more be found in you. The sound of the mill will never more be heard in you.

riversident@Revelation:18:23 @ The light of a lamp will never more shine in you. The voices of bridegroom and bride will never again be heard in you. Your merchants were the great ones of the earth; for by your magic arts all the nations were led astray.

riversident@Revelation:18:24 @ In her was found the blood of prophets and of holy men and of all who had been slain on the earth."

riversident@Revelation:19:1 @ AFTER this I heard what seemed the loud voices of a great multitude in heaven saying, "Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God,

riversident@Revelation:19:2 @ for true and just are his judgments. He has judged the great prostitute who was corrupting the earth with her lewdness and he has avenged on her the blood of his servants."

riversident@Revelation:19:3 @ Again they shouted, "Hallelujah! Her smoke will ascend for the ages of the ages."

riversident@Revelation:19:4 @ Then the twenty-four elders fell down and the four living creatures worshiped God who sits on the throne, saying, "Amen! Hallelujah!"

riversident@Revelation:19:5 @ A voice came from the throne saying, "Praise our God, all of you his servants who reverence him, both small and great."

riversident@Revelation:19:6 @ Then I heard what seemed like the voices of a great multitude, like the sound of many waters, like the sound of mighty thunders, saying, "Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty is king.

riversident@Revelation:19:7 @ Let us rejoice and be glad and give glory to him; for the marriage of the Lamb has come and his bride has prepared herself

riversident@Revelation:19:8 @ and it has been granted to her to be clothed in fine linen shining and pure." For the fine linen is the righteous acts of the holy.

riversident@Revelation:19:9 @ Then he said to me, "Write: Blessed are they who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!" He said to me, "These are the true words of God."

riversident@Revelation:19:10 @ Then I fell down at his feet and worshiped him. But he said to me, "No, no. I am a fellow servant of yours and of your brethren who hold the testimony to Jesus. Worship God. For testimony to Jesus is the spirit of prophecy."

riversident@Revelation:19:11 @ Then I saw heaven open and there was a white horse, and he who was sitting on it was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war.

riversident@Revelation:19:12 @ His eyes are a flame of fire and on his head are many diadems. He has a name written which no one but himself knows,

riversident@Revelation:19:13 @ and he is clothed in a garment dipped in blood and his name has been called The Word of God.

riversident@Revelation:19:14 @ The armies that are in heaven follow him on white horses clothed in fine linen white and clean.

riversident@Revelation:19:15 @ From his mouth issues a sharp sword to smite the nations. He will shepherd them with a rod of iron, and he treads the winepress of the fierce wrath of God Almighty.

riversident@Revelation:19:16 @ He has on his robe and on his thigh a name written, "King of kings and Lord of lords."

riversident@Revelation:19:17 @ Then I saw one angel standing on the sun, and he shouted with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in mid-heaven, "Come, gather for the great feast of God,

riversident@Revelation:19:18 @ to eat the flesh of kings and the flesh of generals and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them, and the flesh of freemen and of slaves, of small and great."

riversident@Revelation:19:19 @ Then I saw the Beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered to do battle with him who sits on the horse and with his army.

riversident@Revelation:19:20 @ And the Beast was captured and with him the False Prophet who did miracles in his presence and thereby misled those who received the mark of the Beast and who worshiped his image. The two were flung alive into the lake of fire that burns with brimstone.

riversident@Revelation:19:21 @ The rest were slain with the sword of him who sits upon the horse, the sword that issued from his mouth, and all the birds were gorged with their flesh.

riversident@Revelation:20:1 @ THEN I saw an angel descending from heaven with the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand.

riversident@Revelation:20:2 @ He laid hold of the Dragon, the ancient Serpent, who is the Devil and Satan, and chained him for a thousand years

riversident@Revelation:20:3 @ and flung him into the abyss and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he should not mislead the nations until the thousand years were ended. After that he must be loosed for a little while.

riversident@Revelation:20:4 @ Then I saw thrones, and men took their seats on them and the power to judge was granted to them. I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their testimony to Jesus and for God's message, and who had not worshiped the Beast nor his image and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. They lived and reigned as kings with Christ a thousand years,

riversident@Revelation:20:5 @ but the rest of the dead did not return to life until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.

riversident@Revelation:20:6 @ Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection! Over these the second death has no power, but they will be priests and kings of God and of Christ, and will reign with him the thousand years.

riversident@Revelation:20:7 @ When the thousand years are ended, Satan will be loosed from his prison

riversident@Revelation:20:8 @ and will come out to mislead the nations that are at the four corners of the earth \'97 Gog and Magog \'97 and gather them to battle in number like the sand of the sea.

riversident@Revelation:20:9 @ They went up over the breadth of the earth and encircled the camp of the holy and the beloved city. But fire fell from heaven and consumed them,

riversident@Revelation:20:10 @ and the Devil who was misleading them was flung into the lake of fire and brimstone, where are also the Beast and the False Prophet, and they will be tormented day and night for the ages of the ages.

riversident@Revelation:20:11 @ Then I saw a great white throne and him who was sitting on it, from whose face earth and heaven fled away and no place was found for them.

riversident@Revelation:20:12 @ And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. And another book was opened which is the Book of Life. The dead were judged out of what was written in the books according to their deeds.

riversident@Revelation:20:13 @ The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and Death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and they were judged each according to his deeds.

riversident@Revelation:20:14 @ Death and Hades were flung into the lake of fire. This is the second death \'97 the lake of fire.

riversident@Revelation:20:15 @ If any one was not found written in the Book of Life he was flung into the lake of fire.

riversident@Revelation:21:1 @ THEN I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away and the sea was no more.

riversident@Revelation:21:2 @ I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

riversident@Revelation:21:3 @ And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "The Tent of God is with men. He will tent with them and they will be his people and he will be their God.

riversident@Revelation:21:4 @ He will wipe every tear from their eyes. Death shall be no more; neither shall there any longer be sorrow or wailing or painful toil; for the first things have passed away."

riversident@Revelation:21:5 @ He who was sitting on the throne said, "See, I am making all things new." He said, "Write; for these words are trustworthy and true."

riversident@Revelation:21:6 @ He said to me, "They have come to pass. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To him who is thirsting I will give from the spring of the water of life freely.

riversident@Revelation:21:7 @ He who conquers shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be to me a son.

riversident@Revelation:21:8 @ But the timid and faithless and abominable and murderers and the unchaste and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars will have their lot in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death."

riversident@Revelation:21:9 @ Then one of the angels that had the seven bowls filled with the seven last plagues came and spoke with me. "Come here," he said, "and I will show you the Bride, the Lamb's wife."

riversident@Revelation:21:10 @ Then he carried me in Spirit to the top of a great and high mountain and showed me the holy city Jerusalem descending out of heaven from God,

riversident@Revelation:21:11 @ having the glory of God. Her brilliance was like that of a most precious stone, like crystalline jasper.

riversident@Revelation:21:12 @ She had a wall great and high, and she had twelve gates and at the gates twelve angels, and there were names written upon the gates. They are the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel.

riversident@Revelation:21:14 @ The wall of the city had twelve foundations and upon them were twelve names, the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

riversident@Revelation:21:15 @ He who was speaking with me had a golden reed as a measure, to measure the city and her gates and her wall.

riversident@Revelation:21:16 @ The city stands foursquare and the length is the same as the breadth. He measured the city with the reed. It extends twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.

riversident@Revelation:21:17 @ He measured the wall of it, a hundred and forty-four cubits by human measure, which is also that of an angel.

riversident@Revelation:21:18 @ The material of the wall of it was jasper and the city was pure gold like clear glass.

riversident@Revelation:21:19 @ The foundations of the wall of the city were decorated with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald,

riversident@Revelation:21:20 @ the fifth sardonyx, the sixth sardius, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, the twelfth amethyst.

riversident@Revelation:21:21 @ The twelve gates were twelve pearls. Each one of the gates was of one pearl. The street of the city was pure gold like transparent glass.

riversident@Revelation:21:22 @ I saw no temple in it; for its temple is the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb.

riversident@Revelation:21:23 @ And the city has no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it; for the glory of God illumines it and the Lamb is its light.

riversident@Revelation:21:24 @ The nations will walk by its light and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it,

riversident@Revelation:21:25 @ and its gates will not be closed by day, and there will be no night there.

riversident@Revelation:21:26 @ They will bring the glory and honor of the nations into it.

riversident@Revelation:21:27 @ But there will not enter into it anything unholy or any one who makes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb's Book of Life.

riversident@Revelation:22:1 @ THEN he showed me a river of water of life bright as crystal, issuing from the throne of God and of the Lamb.

riversident@Revelation:22:2 @ In the space between the street and the river, on this side and on that, grew trees of life bearing twelve kinds of fruit, and yielding their fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

riversident@Revelation:22:3 @ There will no longer be any accursed thing. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it and his servants will worship him with holy rites.

riversident@Revelation:22:4 @ They will see his face and his name will be on their foreheads.

riversident@Revelation:22:5 @ There will not be night any more and they will have no need of lamplight or of sunlight; for the Lord God will shine upon them and they will be kings for the ages of the ages.

riversident@Revelation:22:6 @ Then he said to me, "These words are trustworthy and true. The Lord God of the spirits of the prophets has sent his angel to show to his servants what must soon come to pass.

riversident@Revelation:22:8 @ I, John, am he who heard and saw these things. And when I had heard and seen I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who had shown them to me.
