riversident@Romans:1:6 @ among all the Gentiles, among whom are you, called by Jesus Christ;

riversident@Romans:1:7 @ to all who are in Rome, beloved by God, called to be holy: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

riversident@Romans:1:8 @ First of all I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is spoken of through all the world.

riversident@Romans:1:9 @ For God, whom I serve in my spirit in the good news of his Son, is my witness how unceasingly I make mention of you, always in my prayers

riversident@Romans:1:10 @ asking if I may somehow at some time by the will of God find the way open to come to you.

riversident@Romans:1:11 @ For I long to see you that I may impart to you some spiritual gift of grace in order that you may be strengthened,

riversident@Romans:1:12 @ that is, that I may be encouraged with you and by you through our mutual faith, yours and mine.

riversident@Romans:1:13 @ I am not willing that you should be ignorant, brethren, that often I have purposed to come to you (note:)though until now I have been hindered(:note), in order that I might have some fruit among you as among the other Gentiles.

riversident@Romans:1:15 @ so, for my part, I am eager to tell the good news also to you in Rome.

riversident@Romans:2:1 @ THEREFORE you are without excuse, O man, whoever you are, when you judge. For in judging another you condemn yourself. For you, the judge, practice the same 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:2:17 @ But if you bear the name of Jew and rely upon the Law, and make your boast in God

riversident@Romans:2:18 @ and know his will and are a judge of things that differ, because you have been taught out of the Law

riversident@Romans:2:19 @ and are confident that you yourself are a guide of the blind, a light of those who are in darkness,

riversident@Romans:2:20 @ an instructor of the unwise, a teacher of the simple, because you have the form of knowledge and of truth in the Law \'97

riversident@Romans:2:21 @ you who are teaching another, do you not teach yourself? You who preach not to steal, do you steal?

riversident@Romans:2:22 @ You who say not to commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?

riversident@Romans:2:23 @ You who boast of the Law, do you dishonor God by breaking the Law?

riversident@Romans:2:24 @ For "The name of God is reviled among the Gentiles because of you," as it is written.

riversident@Romans:2:25 @ Circumcision has value if you obey the Law. But if you are a breaker of the Law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.

riversident@Romans:2:27 @ And the natural uncircumcision if it keeps the Law will judge you who with a written code and circumcision are still a law-breaker.

riversident@Romans:4:18 @ Abraham, when hope was past, believed in hope so that he became the father of many nations, according to what was said to him, "So shall your descendants be";

riversident@Romans:6:3 @ Are you ignorant that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?

riversident@Romans:6:11 @ So you must think yourselves dead to sin, but living to God in Christ Jesus.

riversident@Romans:6:12 @ Do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you will obey its lusts,

riversident@Romans:6:13 @ and do not yield your members to sin as the instruments of wickedness; but present yourselves to God as men once dead, but now living, and yield your members to God as the instruments of righteousness.

riversident@Romans:6:14 @ For sin shall not be king over you; for you are not under law, but under grace.

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:6:18 @ You were made free from sin and made servants to righteousness.

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:6:20 @ When you were servants of sin you were free from righteousness.

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:6:22 @ But now freed from sin and having become servants of God you have your fruit in holy living and its outcome, life eternal.

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:7:4 @ 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: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:8:9 @ But you are not in the flesh, but in the spirit, if the Spirit of God dwells in you. If any one has not the Spirit of Christ, that man is not his.

riversident@Romans:8:10 @ If Christ is in you the body is dead because of sin, but the spirit is life because of righteousness.

riversident@Romans:8:11 @ If the Spirit of him who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised up Christ Jesus from the dead gives life even to your mortal bodies, through his indwelling Spirit in you.

riversident@Romans:8:13 @ 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:9:7 @ nor because they are descendants of Abraham are they all children; but "through Isaac shall your descendants be named."

riversident@Romans:9:12 @ it was said to her, "The older shall serve the younger."

riversident@Romans:9:17 @ For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, "For this very purpose I raised you up in order to show my power upon you and to have my name proclaimed in all the earth."

riversident@Romans:9:19 @ You will say to me then, "Why does he still find fault? For who has opposed his will?"

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:9:26 @ and in the place where it was said to them, 'You are not my people,' there they shall be called sons of the living God."

riversident@Romans: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:10:8 @ 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:10:19 @ 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:11:2 @ 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:11:13 @ But I say to you Gentiles \'97 since I am an apostle to Gentiles I glory in my office,

riversident@Romans:11:17 @ If some of the branches were broken off and you, who are a wild olive, were grafted in among them and became a sharer in the root and rich sap of the olive,

riversident@Romans:11:18 @ do not exult over the branches. Even though you exult, it is not you who are supporting the root, but the root is supporting you.

riversident@Romans:11:19 @ You will say then, "Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in."

riversident@Romans:11:20 @ Certainly, for lack of faith they were broken off, and you are standing by faith. Do not be proud, but be afraid.

riversident@Romans:11:21 @ For if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you.

riversident@Romans:11:22 @ See the kindness and the rigor of God, toward those who fell rigor, but toward you God's kindness, if you continue in his kindness, else you too will be cut off.

riversident@Romans:11:24 @ For God is able to graft them back. For if you were cut from your natural stock, a wild olive tree, and were grafted, contrary to nature, into a good olive tree, how much more will the natural branches be grafted into their own olive tree!

riversident@Romans:11:25 @ I would not have you ignorant, brethren, of this mystery, that you may not be self-conceited, because stupidity in a measure has come upon Israel until the full number of Gentiles comes in,

riversident@Romans:11:28 @ 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:11:30 @ For as you were once disobedient to God, but now have found mercy through their disobedience,

riversident@Romans:11:31 @ so they have now been disobedient in your time of mercy, that they too may now obtain mercy.

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:12:3 @ Through the grace given to me I say to every one among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought, but to think so as to become wise, as God has allotted to each a measure of faith.

riversident@Romans:12:9 @ Let your love be without pretense. Abhor what is evil; cling to the good.

riversident@Romans:12:14 @ Pray for blessings on your persecutors, blessings, not curses.

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:12:20 @ But, "if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him drink; for in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head."

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:13:6 @ For this reason also you pay tribute. For they are God's officers attending to this very thing.

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:14:4 @ Who are you to judge the servant of another? To his own master he stands or falls, and stand he will, for God is able to make him stand.

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:14:15 @ If because of your food your brother is grieved, you are no longer walking in love. Do not with your food destroy him for whom Christ died.

riversident@Romans:14:16 @ Do not let what is good to you be spoken of as evil.

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: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:15:13 @ 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:15:22 @ This is why I have been so much hindered in coming to you.

riversident@Romans:15:23 @ But now having no more territory in these regions and having for many years had a strong desire to come to you

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:15:28 @ So after completing this and sealing to them this fruit, I shall come away and pass by you to Spain.

riversident@Romans:15:29 @ And I know that when I come to you it will be in the fullness of the blessing of Christ.

riversident@Romans:15:30 @ I beg you, brethren, for the sake of our Lord Jesus and the love of the Spirit to join me in wrestling in prayer to God on my behalf,

riversident@Romans:15:32 @ that I may come to you with joy by the will of God and be refreshed with you.

riversident@Romans:15:33 @ The God of peace be with all of you! Amen.

riversident@Romans:16:1 @ I COMMEND to you our sister Phoebe, a servant of the church in Cenchreae,

riversident@Romans:16:2 @ that you may receive her in the Lord in a way worthy of the holy, and help her in any matter in which she may need you. For she has been a provider for many, myself included.

riversident@Romans:16:6 @ Give my greetings to Mary, who has worked hard for you.

riversident@Romans:16:16 @ Give my greetings to one another with a holy kiss. All the churches of Christ send their greetings to you.

riversident@Romans:16:17 @ I beg you, brethren, to keep your eye on those who are making divisions and occasions for sin contrary to the teaching which you have learned, and to shun them.

riversident@Romans:16:19 @ 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:16:22 @ I, Tertius, who penned this letter, greet you in the Lord.

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:1:4 @ I am always thanking God for you because of the grace of God given to you in Christ Jesus,

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:1:8 @ He will keep you strong to the end and free from reproach on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

riversident@1Corinthians:1:9 @ God is faithful, and it is by him that you have been called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

riversident@1Corinthians:1:10 @ I beg you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, all to say the same thing and not to have divisions among you, but to be united in the same mind and in the same opinion.

riversident@1Corinthians:1:11 @ 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:1:13 @ Has Christ been divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?

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:1:26 @ Consider your own call, brethren, that not many wise, humanly speaking, not many powerful, not many high-born have been called.

riversident@1Corinthians:1:30 @ By God's act you are in Christ Jesus, who has become to us wisdom from God and righteousness and holiness and deliverance,

riversident@1Corinthians:2:1 @ AND I in coming to you, brethren, did not come with superiority of speech or of wisdom, announcing to you the testimony of God.

riversident@1Corinthians:2:2 @ For I determined to know nothing among you but Jesus Christ \'97 and him crucified.

riversident@1Corinthians:2:3 @ And I came to you in weakness and in fear and in much trembling,

riversident@1Corinthians:2:5 @ that your faith might not depend on the wisdom of man but on the power of God.

riversident@1Corinthians:3:1 @ AND I myself, brethren, could not speak to you as spiritual, but as fleshly, as babes in Christ.

riversident@1Corinthians:3:2 @ I fed you with milk, not solid food. For you were not able to take it. Nor are you yet able, for you are still fleshly.

riversident@1Corinthians:3:3 @ For while there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not fleshly and living in man's way?

riversident@1Corinthians:3:4 @ For when one says, "I belong to Paul," and another, "I belong to Apollos," are you not men?

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:3:9 @ We are God's fellow workers: you are God's farm God's building.

riversident@1Corinthians:3:16 @ Do you not know that you are God's temple and the Spirit of God dwells in you?

riversident@1Corinthians:3:17 @ If any one mars the temple of God, God will mar him, for the temple of God is holy, and you are the temple.

riversident@1Corinthians:3:18 @ Let no one deceive himself. If any one of you thinks himself wise in this world, let him become a fool in order to become wise.

riversident@1Corinthians:3:21 @ Therefore let no one boast in men. For all things are yours \'97

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:3:23 @ and you are Christ's and Christ is God's.

riversident@1Corinthians:4:3 @ But it is of very slight importance to me to be judged by you or any human court. I do not even pass judgment on myself.

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:4:10 @ We are fools for Christ's sake, but you are wise in Christ; we are weak, but you are strong; you have glory, but we are despised.

riversident@1Corinthians:4:14 @ I am not writing this to shame you, but to warn you as my beloved children.

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:4:17 @ For this very purpose I have sent to you Timothy, who is my loved and faithful child in the Lord. He will remind you of my ways in Christ \'97 how I teach everywhere in every church.

riversident@1Corinthians:4:18 @ Some persons have become puffed up, thinking that I am not coming to you.

riversident@1Corinthians:4:19 @ But I shall come to you shortly, if the Lord wills, and I will find out, not the talk of these puffed-up ones, but their power.

riversident@1Corinthians:4:21 @ Which do you wish? Shall I come with a rod or in love and a spirit of gentleness?

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:5:4 @ When you assembled in the name of the Lord Jesus and my spirit was also present with the power of our Lord Jesus,

riversident@1Corinthians:5:6 @ 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:5:13 @ But outsiders God will judge. Expel the wicked man from among yourselves.

riversident@1Corinthians:6:1 @ DOES any one of you, if he has a grievance against another, dare to bring the case before the unrighteous and not before the holy?

riversident@1Corinthians:6:2 @ Do you not know that the holy are going to judge the world? If the world is to be judged by you, are you unfit for the most trivial cases?

riversident@1Corinthians:6:3 @ Do you not know that we are to judge angels, to say nothing of affairs of this life?

riversident@1Corinthians:6:4 @ If then you have affairs of this life, do you ask men who in the view of the church count for nothing to sit as judges?

riversident@1Corinthians:6:5 @ 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:6:7 @ 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:6:11 @ And such some of you were. But you have washed yourselves; but you have been made holy; but you have been pronounced righteous in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.

riversident@1Corinthians:6:15 @ 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:6:19 @ 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:6:20 @ For you were bought with a price. Glorify God then in your bodies.

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:7:14 @ For the unbelieving husband has been made holy by the wife and the unbelieving wife has been made holy by the husband. Otherwise your children would be impure, but now they are holy.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:15 @ But if the unbelieving one actually leaves, let him leave. The brother or sister is not under bondage in such cases; but God has called you to peace.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:16 @ For how do you know, O wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, O husband, whether you will save your wife?

riversident@1Corinthians:7:21 @ Were you called when a slave? Let it not trouble you. On the contrary, even if you can become free, take it in preference.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:23 @ You were bought with a price. Do not become slaves of men.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:27 @ Have you been bound to a wife? Seek not release. Have you been freed from a wife? Do not seek a wife.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:28 @ But even if you marry, you have not sinned. Even if a maiden marries, she has not sinned. But such will have trouble in the flesh, and I would spare you.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:32 @ I wish you to be free from worry. The unmarried man is anxious about the things of the Lord \'97 how be may please the Lord.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:35 @ This I say for your benefit, not to throw a noose over you, but to promote decorum and constant devotion to the Lord without distraction.

riversident@1Corinthians:8:9 @ But be careful that this power of yours may not become a stumbling block to the weak.

riversident@1Corinthians:8:10 @ For if any one sees you who have knowledge reclining at table in an idol's temple, will not the conscience of that weak one be emboldened to eat things that have been sacrificed to idols?

riversident@1Corinthians:8:11 @ Thus the weak man is ruined by your knowledge \'97 the brother for whom Christ died.

riversident@1Corinthians:8:12 @ So sinning against the brethren and wounding their weak consciences you sin against Christ.

riversident@1Corinthians:9:1 @ AM I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are you not my work in the Lord?

riversident@1Corinthians:9:2 @ If to others I am not an apostle, certainly I am to you. For you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.

riversident@1Corinthians:9:9 @ For in the Law of Moses it is written, "You shall not muzzle an ox when he is treading out grain." Is God thinking of the oxen?

riversident@1Corinthians:9:11 @ If we sowed for you things of the spirit, is it a great matter if we reap your things of the flesh?

riversident@1Corinthians:9:12 @ If others share this right over you, do not we still more? But we have not used this right. No, we endure all things in order not to cause any hindrance to the good news of Christ.

riversident@1Corinthians:9:13 @ Do you not know that those who do the work of the Temple eat the things that come from the Temple, and those who minister at the altar share with the altar?

riversident@1Corinthians:9:24 @ 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: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:10:13 @ 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:10:15 @ I speak as to thoughtful men. Judge for yourselves what I am saying.

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:10:21 @ You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You cannot partake of the table of the Lord and the table of demons.

riversident@1Corinthians:10:27 @ 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:10:29 @ conscience, I say, not yours, but the other man's. For why is my liberty judged by the conscience of another?

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:11:2 @ I praise you because you remember me in all things and hold firmly the traditions as I passed them on to you.

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:11:13 @ Decide for yourselves: is it becoming for a woman to pray to God unveiled?

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:11:17 @ In giving the following directions I do not praise you, because you do not assemble for the better, but for the worse.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:18 @ For, in the first place, I hear that when you assemble as a church there are parties among you, and to some extent I believe it.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:19 @ 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:11:22 @ 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:11:30 @ For this reason many are weak and sickly among you and a number are asleep.

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:12:1 @ CONCERNING spiritual things, brethren, I do not wish you to be ignorant.

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:12:21 @ And the eye cannot say to the hand, "I have no need of you," or the head to the feet, "I have no need of you."

riversident@1Corinthians:12:27 @ You are the body of Christ and individually members.

riversident@1Corinthians:12:31 @ Seek earnestly for the greater gifts; and yet I will show you a way that surpasses all.

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:14:9 @ 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:14:16 @ If you thank God with the spirit, how shall he who fills the place of the ordinary man say Amen to your thanksgiving? For he does not know what you are saying.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:17 @ You give thanks excellently, but the other is not helped by it.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:18 @ I thank God that I speak with tongues more than any of you.

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:14:31 @ For you can all prophesy one by one so that all may learn and all be encouraged.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:34 @ let the women be silent in your assemblies. For it is not allowed to them to speak; but let them be in subjection as also the Law says.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:36 @ Did the message of God come out from you or did it come to you alone?

riversident@1Corinthians:14:37 @ If any one thinks himself a prophet or spiritual, let him recognize that what I am writing to you is the command of the Lord.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:1 @ LET me recall to your minds, brethren, the good news which I announced to you and which you accepted, in which also you stand,

riversident@1Corinthians:15:2 @ through which also you are being saved, if you hold fast the message that I announced to you, unless your faith was thoughtless.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:3 @ For among the first things I passed on to you what I had received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,

riversident@1Corinthians:15:11 @ Whether then it was I or they, so we proclaim and so you believed.

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:15:17 @ And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile, you are still in your sins.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:31 @ I die every day, I swear it by the boast I make of you and which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:34 @ Return to soberness and cease to sin, for some are ignorant of God. I say it to your shame.

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:15:51 @ I am telling you a mystery. We shall not all fall asleep, but we shall all be transformed,

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:16:5 @ I shall come to you alter I pass through Macedonia. For I shall pass through Macedonia

riversident@1Corinthians:16:6 @ and perhaps I shall make some stay with you or pass the winter with you, so that you may send me forward wherever I may be going.

riversident@1Corinthians:16:7 @ I do not wish to see you now merely in passing, for I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permits.

riversident@1Corinthians:16:10 @ If Timothy comes, see to it that he becomes free from fear in his relations to you. For he is doing the Lord's work, just as I am.

riversident@1Corinthians:16:12 @ 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:16:14 @ 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:16:16 @ I beg you to show deference to such and to every fellow worker and laborer.

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:16:19 @ The churches of Asia send you their greetings. Aquila and Prisca with the church in their house greet you heartily in the Lord.

riversident@1Corinthians:16:20 @ All the brethren send greetings to you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.

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

riversident@1Corinthians:16:24 @ My love to all of you in Christ Jesus.

riversident@2Corinthians:1:2 @ Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!

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:1:11 @ 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:1:16 @ by my visiting you on the way to Macedonia and again coming back from Macedonia to you and being sped by you on my way toward Juda.

riversident@2Corinthians:1:18 @ As God is faithful, my word to you is not yes and no.

riversident@2Corinthians:1:19 @ For the Son of God, Christ Jesus, who was proclaimed among you by us \'97 myself and Silvanus and Timothy \'97 was not yes and no, but in him was yes.

riversident@2Corinthians:1:21 @ It is God who makes us and you steadfast to Christ, and has anointed us

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:2:1 @ BUT I decided this in my own mind, not to come again to you in sorrow.

riversident@2Corinthians:2:2 @ For if I grieve you, who is there to cheer me except those who are grieved by me?

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:2:5 @ But if any one has caused grief, he has grieved not me, but to some extent \'97 not to be too severe \'97 all of 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:2:8 @ Therefore I beg you to assure him of your love.

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: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:3:2 @ You are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by all men,

riversident@2Corinthians:4:5 @ For we are not proclaiming ourselves but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake.

riversident@2Corinthians:4:12 @ So death works in us, but life in you.

riversident@2Corinthians:4:14 @ knowing that he who raised up Jesus will also raise us up with Jesus and place us in his presence with you.

riversident@2Corinthians:4:15 @ For all things are for your sake, that grace abounding through many may overflow in thanksgiving to the glory of God.

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:5:13 @ For if we were out of our minds it was for God, and if we are sane it is for you.

riversident@2Corinthians:5:20 @ So we are ambassadors for Christ, as if God were appealing to you through us. We pray you on Christ's behalf to be reconciled to God.

riversident@2Corinthians:6:1 @ AS God's fellow workers we also beg you not to receive his grace fruitlessly.

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:6:11 @ Our mouth is open to you, Corinthians, our heart expands itself.

riversident@2Corinthians:6:12 @ You find no narrowness in us, the narrowness is in your own sympathies.

riversident@2Corinthians:6:13 @ As a fair return, I am speaking as to my children, let your hearts expand.

riversident@2Corinthians:6:17 @ Therefore come out from the midst of them and be separate, says the Lord, and do not touch an unclean thing, and I will receive you

riversident@2Corinthians:6:18 @ and will be a Father to you and you shall be sons and daughters to me, says the Lord, the Ruler of all."

riversident@2Corinthians:7:2 @ Make room for us in your hearts. We have wronged no one; we have injured no one; we have taken advantage of no one.

riversident@2Corinthians:7:3 @ I am not saying this to condemn you, for I have already said that you have such a place in our hearts that we are ready to die with you or to live with you.

riversident@2Corinthians:7:4 @ Great is my frankness in speaking to you; great is my boasting of you; I am filled with encouragement, running over with joy at every distress of ours.

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:7:11 @ Notice this very grieving as God approves, how great earnestness resulted from it in your case, what effort to defend yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what longing, what zeal, what just punishment! In everything you showed yourselves blameless in the matter.

riversident@2Corinthians:7:12 @ So although I wrote to you, I did it not for the sake of him who did the wrong, nor for the sake of him who suffered wrong, but that your earnestness for us might be made plain to you before God.

riversident@2Corinthians:7:13 @ On this account we have been encouraged. In addition to this encouragement of ours, we rejoiced very much more over the joy of Titus because his spirit has been refreshed by you all,

riversident@2Corinthians:7:14 @ for if I have made any boast regarding you I have not been put to shame, but as we spoke everything in truth to you so our boasting over Titus turned out the truth.

riversident@2Corinthians:7:15 @ And his affections go out more strongly to you when he remembers the obedience of you all, how with reverence and trembling you received him.

riversident@2Corinthians:7:16 @ I am glad to be in every respect of good courage regarding you.

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:8:6 @ Therefore we encouraged Titus that as he had begun so he should complete this grace among you.

riversident@2Corinthians:8:7 @ But as you excel in every way, in faith and speech and knowledge and in all earnestness and in the love you learned from us, be sure to excel in this grace also.

riversident@2Corinthians:8:8 @ I speak not by way of command, but testing the genuineness of your love by the earnestness of others.

riversident@2Corinthians:8:9 @ For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich yet for your sake he became poor, that you by his poverty might become rich.

riversident@2Corinthians:8:10 @ In this I give my opinion, for this is advantageous for you, since a year ago you were first to begin not only the doing but the wanting to do anything.

riversident@2Corinthians:8:11 @ But now complete the doing, that as there was a readiness in willing so there may be a completion according to your means.

riversident@2Corinthians:8:13 @ 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:8:16 @ Thanks be to God who puts into the heart of Titus the same interest in you.

riversident@2Corinthians:8:17 @ For he welcomed our appeal, but being unusually interested comes to you of his own choice.

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:8:24 @ Show them in the sight of the churches your love and the ground of our boasting to them about you.

riversident@2Corinthians:9:1 @ REGARDING the service to the holy, it is superfluous for me to write to you.

riversident@2Corinthians:9:2 @ For I know your readiness and I am boasting about you to the Macedonians, that Achaia was ready a year ago, and your zeal has stimulated the most of them.

riversident@2Corinthians:9:3 @ I am sending the brethren that our boasting about you may not be proved in this matter an empty boast, so that you may be ready as I have said,

riversident@2Corinthians:9:4 @ and if any Macedonians come with me and find you unprepared, we, not to say you, may not be made ashamed of this confidence.

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:9:10 @ He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and make abundant your seed and will increase the fruits of your righteousness.

riversident@2Corinthians:9:11 @ You will be enriched in everything so that you will have all liberality which through our agency causes thanksgiving to God.

riversident@2Corinthians:9:13 @ By the proof afforded by this service men are led to glorify God for your fidelity to your profession of faith in the good news of Christ, and for the liberality of your contributions toward them and toward all.

riversident@2Corinthians:9:14 @ In their prayers in your behalf they pour out their longing love for you because of the surpassing grace of God that is upon you.

riversident@2Corinthians:10:1 @ I MYSELF, Paul, beg you by the gentleness and sweet reasonableness of Christ \'97 I who "to your face am humble when among you, but when absent am bold toward you" \'97

riversident@2Corinthians:10:6 @ and are ready to take vengeance upon every disobedience when your obedience is complete.

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:10:9 @ Let me not seem as if meaning to frighten you by letters.

riversident@2Corinthians:10:13 @ We will not boast beyond measure, but according to the measure of the measuring rod which God assigned to us, and that reaches as far as you.

riversident@2Corinthians:10:14 @ For we are not stretching ourselves, as if we did not reach to you, for we were the first to reach you with the good news of Christ.

riversident@2Corinthians:10:15 @ We are not boasting beyond measure in the labors of others, but we have hope that as your faith grows we may have larger influence among you according to our measure and beyond,

riversident@2Corinthians:10:16 @ so that we may tell the good news to the regions lying beyond you and not boast of things already done in some other man's territory.

riversident@2Corinthians:11:1 @ O THAT you would bear with me in a little foolishness. Yes, bear with me.

riversident@2Corinthians:11:2 @ For I am jealous over you with the jealousy of God, for I betrothed you to one husband to present you as a pure virgin to Christ.

riversident@2Corinthians:11:3 @ But I fear that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his cunning, your thoughts may be led away from sincerity and purity toward Christ.

riversident@2Corinthians:11:4 @ For if some newcomer proclaims another Jesus whom we did not proclaim, or if you receive a different kind of spirit which you did not receive, or a different good news which you did not welcome, you bear with him finely.

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:11:8 @ I robbed other churches by taking wages for serving you,

riversident@2Corinthians:11:9 @ and when I was with you and in need I was not a burden to any one, for the brethren who came from Macedonia supplied my need. In every way I kept myself from being a burden to you, and shall keep myself so.

riversident@2Corinthians:11:11 @ Why? Because I do not love you? God knows.

riversident@2Corinthians:11:19 @ for you who are wise bear pleasantly with the foolish.

riversident@2Corinthians:11:20 @ You bear it if any one enslaves you, if any one devours you, if any one takes possession of you, if any one exalts himself, if any one strikes you in the face.

riversident@2Corinthians:12:11 @ I have become foolish; you made me. For I ought to have been recommended by you. For in nothing have I been inferior to the most eminent apostles, even though I am nothing.

riversident@2Corinthians:12:12 @ The signs of an apostle were performed among you in all patience by miracles and wonders and deeds of power.

riversident@2Corinthians:12:13 @ What is there in which you were made inferior to the rest of the churches except that I was not a burden to you? Forgive me this wrong.

riversident@2Corinthians:12:14 @ Now this third time I am ready to come to you, and I shall not be a burden to you. For I am not seeking yours, but you. For the children ought not to lay up money for the parents, but the parents for the children.

riversident@2Corinthians:12:15 @ And I will most gladly spend and be spent for your souls. If I love you too much, am I loved the less?

riversident@2Corinthians:12:16 @ Be that as it may, I was not a burden to you. But being crafty I caught you with cunning?

riversident@2Corinthians:12:17 @ Did I take advantage of you through any one of those I sent to you?

riversident@2Corinthians:12:18 @ I begged Titus to go, and I sent along with him the brother. Did Titus take advantage of you? Did we not act in the same spirit and walk in the same steps?

riversident@2Corinthians:12:19 @ 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:13:3 @ since you are eager to have a test of Christ speaking in me. He is not weak toward you, but powerful among you.

riversident@2Corinthians:13:4 @ He was crucified in weakness, but he is living by the power of God. And we are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power of God for you.

riversident@2Corinthians:13:5 @ Test yourselves whether you are in the faith, put yourselves to the proof. Are you not conscious that Jesus Christ is in you? He is, unless you cannot stand the test.

riversident@2Corinthians:13:6 @ I hope that you know that we are not unable to stand the test.

riversident@2Corinthians:13:7 @ I pray to God that you may do nothing evil, not in order that we may seem to stand the test, but in order that you may do the right, though we should seem unable to stand the test.

riversident@2Corinthians:13:9 @ We rejoice when we are weak and you are strong. This we are praying for, your all-round character.

riversident@2Corinthians:13:10 @ For this reason I am writing this while absent, so that when present I may not act with severity in the use of the authority which the Lord gave me for building you up, not for pulling you down.

riversident@2Corinthians:13:11 @ Now, brethren, farewell. Be fully equipped; take courage; be of one mind; live in peace; then the God of love and peace will be with you.

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

riversident@Galatians:1:3 @ Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ,

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:1:11 @ For I assure you, brethren, that the good news which I brought is not of man's devising.

riversident@Galatians:1:13 @ You have heard of my former life in Judaism, that I furiously persecuted the church of God and made havoc of it,

riversident@Galatians:1:20 @ In what I am writing to you, before God I am not lying.

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:2:14 @ 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: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:3:7 @ 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:3:16 @ 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:3:26 @ You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.

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:4:6 @ 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:4:27 @ 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:5:2 @ See, I, Paul, tell you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will be of no use to you.

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:5:7 @ 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:5:10 @ 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:5:12 @ 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:5:21 @ 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: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:6:12 @ 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:6:18 @ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirits, brethren. Amen.

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:1:15 @ For this reason I also, since hearing of your faith in Jesus and your love to all the saints,

riversident@Ephesians:1:16 @ never cease giving thanks for you when I mention you in my prayers,

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:2:1 @ YOU also God raised to life when you were dead in misdeeds and sins

riversident@Ephesians:2:2 @ in which you once walked, following the ways of this age of the world, led by the Ruler of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience.

riversident@Ephesians:2:8 @ For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,

riversident@Ephesians:2:11 @ Therefore remember that once you were Gentiles in the flesh and were called uncircumcision by the so-called circumcision in the flesh, made by hands,

riversident@Ephesians:2:12 @ and that you were then apart from Christ, aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise, without hope and without God in the world.

riversident@Ephesians:2:13 @ But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far have become near by the blood of Christ.

riversident@Ephesians:2:17 @ And he came and brought the good news of peace to you who were far and peace to those who were near.

riversident@Ephesians:2:19 @ So then you are no longer strangers and resident aliens, but fellow citizens with the holy and members of the household of God,

riversident@Ephesians:2:22 @ in whom you also are being built for a dwelling of God in the Spirit.

riversident@Ephesians:3:1 @ FOR this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles, \'97

riversident@Ephesians:3:2 @ if you have heard of the gracious commission which God has given me to you,

riversident@Ephesians:3:4 @ In reading that letter you can learn my understanding in the mystery of Christ,

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:3:16 @ that he may grant to you according to his glorious wealth to be strengthened with might through his Spirit in the inner man,

riversident@Ephesians:3:17 @ that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, and that you, rooted and founded in love,

riversident@Ephesians:4:1 @ I, THE prisoner of the Lord, beg you, then, to live worthily of the calling with which you have been called,

riversident@Ephesians:4:4 @ There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called with one hope that belongs to your calling,

riversident@Ephesians:4:17 @ This then I say and solemnly protest in the Lord: that you are no longer to live as the Gentiles live in vacancy of mind,

riversident@Ephesians:4:20 @ But you have not so learned Christ,

riversident@Ephesians:4:21 @ if you have heard him and have been taught in him as the truth is in Jesus,

riversident@Ephesians:4:22 @ that you should put away the old man who belonged to your former way of life and was perishing in deluding passions,

riversident@Ephesians:4:23 @ and that you should be made new in the spirit of your minds

riversident@Ephesians:4:26 @ "Be angry and do not sin." Do not let the sun go down on your wrath,

riversident@Ephesians:4:29 @ Let no vile word come out of your mouth, but, if anything, a good word for needed upbuilding of character to give grace to those who hear.

riversident@Ephesians:4:30 @ Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God by whom you have been sealed for the day of redemption.

riversident@Ephesians:4:31 @ Let all bitterness and anger and wrath and clamor and abusive language be put away from you with every kind of malice.

riversident@Ephesians:4:32 @ Be kind to one another, sympathetic, forgiving one another just as God in Christ has forgiven you.

riversident@Ephesians:5:3 @ Unchastity or any kind of impurity or greediness must not be mentioned among you, as befits holy people;

riversident@Ephesians:5:5 @ For you know well that no unchaste or impure person, no greedy person \'97 who is an idolater \'97 has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.

riversident@Ephesians:5:6 @ Let no one deceive you with empty words; for because of these things the wrath of God comes on the sons of disobedience.

riversident@Ephesians:5:8 @ For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live like children of light \'97

riversident@Ephesians:5:14 @ Therefore it says, "Wake, O sleeper, and rise from the dead and Christ will give you light."

riversident@Ephesians:5:15 @ Be strictly careful, then, how you live, not as unwise but as wise.

riversident@Ephesians:5:25 @ Husbands, love your wives, as Christ also loved the church and gave himself for it,

riversident@Ephesians:5:33 @ But each one of you must love his own wife as himself, and the wife must reverence her husband.

riversident@Ephesians:6:1 @ CHILDREN, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.

riversident@Ephesians:6:2 @ "Honor your father and your mother." This is the first commandment with a promise,

riversident@Ephesians:6:3 @ "That it may go well with you and you may be long-lived in the land."

riversident@Ephesians:6:4 @ And you, fathers, do not irritate your children, but bring them up in the education and admonition of the Lord.

riversident@Ephesians:6:5 @ Slaves, obey those who according to the flesh are your masters, with reverence and awe in singleness of your hearts as to Christ,

riversident@Ephesians:6:9 @ And you, masters, do the same by them, avoiding threats, knowing that the Master both of them and of you is in the heavens, and there is no partiality for rank with him.

riversident@Ephesians:6:11 @ Put on the complete armor of God so that you may be able to stand against the cunning arts of the Devil.

riversident@Ephesians:6:13 @ Therefore take the complete armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day and, after going through everything, to stand.

riversident@Ephesians:6:16 @ In every event take up the shield of faith by which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the Evil One,

riversident@Ephesians:6:21 @ That you also may know my situation, what I am doing, Tychicus the beloved brother and faithful servant in the Lord,

riversident@Ephesians:6:22 @ whom I am sending to you for this very purpose, will tell you everything, so that you may know the news of me and he may encourage your hearts.

riversident@Philippians:1:2 @ Grace be to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

riversident@Philippians:1:3 @ I thank my God for all your remembrance of me,

riversident@Philippians:1:4 @ always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy

riversident@Philippians:1:5 @ for your fellowship in spreading the good news from the first day until now,

riversident@Philippians:1:6 @ being confident of this very thing, that he who has begun the good work in you will carry it on to completion on the day of Christ Jesus.

riversident@Philippians:1:7 @ So it is right for me to think of you all, because you have me in your hearts, and in my chains and in my defense and in establishing the good news you are all sharers in my privilege.

riversident@Philippians:1:8 @ For God is my witness how much I long for you all in the affections of Christ Jesus.

riversident@Philippians:1:9 @ And this is my prayer that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and all insight,

riversident@Philippians:1:10 @ so that you may discriminate between the things that differ, that you may be pure and blameless in the day of Christ,

riversident@Philippians:1:12 @ I wish you to know, brethren, that my affairs have turned out rather to the furtherance of the good news,

riversident@Philippians:1:19 @ For I know that this will make for my salvation through your prayer and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

riversident@Philippians:1:24 @ yet that I should stay in the flesh is more needful on your account.

riversident@Philippians:1:25 @ And this I confidently know, that I shall stay and stay near you all for your advancement and joy of faith,

riversident@Philippians:1:26 @ that your exultation in Christ Jesus may overflow on my account, because of my presence again with you.

riversident@Philippians:1:27 @ Only exercise your citizenship in a manner worthy of the good news of Christ, so that, whether I come and see you or in absence hear news of you, I may know that you are standing in one spirit, with one mind wrestling in the faith of the good news

riversident@Philippians:1:28 @ and not frightened in anything by your adversaries, which for them is a sign of ruin, but for you of salvation, and that from God;

riversident@Philippians:1:29 @ because it has been graciously allowed you not only to believe in Christ but also to suffer for his sake,

riversident@Philippians:1:30 @ and you have the same struggle that you saw in me and now hear of in me.

riversident@Philippians:2:5 @ Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus,

riversident@Philippians:2:12 @ So then, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with reverence and awe.

riversident@Philippians:2:13 @ For it is God who is working in you both the willing and the doing because of his kindness.

riversident@Philippians:2:15 @ that you may be blameless and pure, children of God, spotless in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation among whom you shine as lights in the world,

riversident@Philippians:2:17 @ But if I am poured out as a libation on your sacrificial offering of faith, I rejoice and share the joy of you all.

riversident@Philippians:2:18 @ In the same way you must rejoice and share my joy.

riversident@Philippians:2:19 @ But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, that I may be cheered by knowing about you.

riversident@Philippians:2:20 @ For I have no one likeminded with him who will so sincerely care for your interests.

riversident@Philippians:2:22 @ But you know how he has been tested and how like a child with a father he has served with me in spreading the good news.

riversident@Philippians:2:25 @ I think it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and fellow worker and fellow soldier, and your messenger and minister to my needs,

riversident@Philippians:2:26 @ since he longs for you all and is troubled because you have heard that he was sick.

riversident@Philippians:2:28 @ I send him the more readily that you may see him and rejoice again and I be less sorrowful.

riversident@Philippians:2:30 @ because for the work of Christ he was near to death, hazarding his life to complete the service you were not here to do for me.

riversident@Philippians:3:1 @ TO conclude, my brethren: rejoice in the Lord. To repeat to you the same things is not tiresome to me and it is safe for you.

riversident@Philippians:3:15 @ 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:3:18 @ For many are living as I used often to tell you and now say even weeping that they are enemies of the cross of Christ.

riversident@Philippians:4:3 @ Yes, I ask you, true yokefellow, help them, since they struggled in spreading the good news along with me and Clement and the rest of my fellow workers whose names are in the book of life.

riversident@Philippians:4:5 @ Let your fairness be known to all men. The Lord is near.

riversident@Philippians:4:6 @ Do not worry, but in everything by prayer and entreaty with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.

riversident@Philippians:4:7 @ And the peace of God which passes all understanding will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.

riversident@Philippians:4:9 @ What you learned and accepted and heard and saw in me \'97 practice that. And the God of peace will be with you.

riversident@Philippians:4:10 @ I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at length your thoughtfulness for me had revived. You were thoughtful for me all along, but lacked opportunity.

riversident@Philippians:4:14 @ Yet you did nobly in sharing with me in my distress.

riversident@Philippians:4:15 @ You Philippians know that at the beginning of the good news, when I came away from Macedonia, no church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving except you only,

riversident@Philippians:4:16 @ and that in Thessalonica you sent once, yes, twice, for my need.

riversident@Philippians:4:17 @ Not that I am seeking for the gift, but I am seeking for the fruit that increases to your credit.

riversident@Philippians:4:18 @ I have enough of everything and more than enough. I am fully supplied since receiving from Epaphroditus the things from you, a fragrant odor, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God.

riversident@Philippians:4:19 @ My God will supply every need of yours according to his wealth in glory in Christ Jesus.

riversident@Philippians:4:21 @ Greet every holy one in Christ Jesus. The brethren with me send greetings to you.

riversident@Philippians:4:22 @ All the holy send greetings to you, especially those of Caesar's household.

riversident@Philippians:4:23 @ The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirits!

riversident@Colossians:1:2 @ to the holy and faithful brethren in Christ in Colossae: Grace be to you and peace from God our Father!

riversident@Colossians:1:3 @ We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, in praying for you,

riversident@Colossians:1:4 @ because we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and the love that you have to all the holy

riversident@Colossians:1:5 @ because of the hope laid up for us in heaven. Of this you have already heard in the true message of the good news

riversident@Colossians:1:6 @ which has come to you. Just as in all the world it is bearing fruit and growing, so also it is among you since the day that you heard and learned of the grace of God in truth.

riversident@Colossians:1:7 @ So you learned it from Epaphras, our beloved fellow servant, who is a faithful servant of Christ in your behalf,

riversident@Colossians:1:8 @ and who has told us of your love in the Spirit.

riversident@Colossians:1:9 @ For this reason we also, from the day we heard it, never cease praying for you and asking that you may have full knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual insight,

riversident@Colossians:1:10 @ and that you may live lives worthy of the Lord and please him in every way. May you bear fruit in every good work and grow in the knowledge of God.

riversident@Colossians:1:11 @ May you be strengthened with all strength according to his glorious power, so as to have all patience and endurance.

riversident@Colossians:1:12 @ May you joyfully give thanks to the Father who has made you fit to share in the inheritance of the holy in light.

riversident@Colossians:1:21 @ And you who were once alienated and enemies in your minds, living in wicked works, he has reconciled

riversident@Colossians:1:22 @ by his body of flesh through death, to present you holy and spotless and blameless before him,

riversident@Colossians:1:23 @ if you remain in the faith, firm and steadfast, never moving from the hope of the good news which you have heard and which has been proclaimed in all the creation under heaven, and of which I, Paul, became a servant.

riversident@Colossians:1:24 @ Now I rejoice in what I suffer for your sake, and in my turn am filling up in my flesh what was lacking in the afflictions of Christ for the sake of his body, that is, the church.

riversident@Colossians:1:25 @ I became a servant of the church according to the commission from God given to me for you, to deliver fully God's message,

riversident@Colossians:1:27 @ to whom God willed to make known what is the glorious wealth of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you the hope of glory.

riversident@Colossians:2:1 @ FOR I wish you to know how I am wrestling for you and for those in Laodicea and for all who have not seen my face in the flesh,

riversident@Colossians:2:2 @ that your hearts may be encouraged and that joined together in love you may reach all the wealth of the full assurance of insight into the knowledge of the mystery of God, which is Christ.

riversident@Colossians:2:4 @ I say this that no one may deceive you by plausible arguments.

riversident@Colossians:2:5 @ For even though I am absent in the flesh, yet in the spirit I am with you, rejoicing to see your good order and the firmness of your faith in Christ.

riversident@Colossians:2:6 @ Since, then, you have received Christ Jesus as Lord, live in him,

riversident@Colossians:2:7 @ rooted and built up in him, growing strong in the faith as you have been taught, and overflowing with thanksgiving.

riversident@Colossians:2:8 @ Beware that no one carries you away captive by his philosophy and empty deceit according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary teachings of the world and not according to Christ.

riversident@Colossians:2:10 @ and you have been filled in him. He is the head of every archangel and authority.

riversident@Colossians:2:11 @ In him you were circumcised with a circumcision not done by hands, by laying aside your fleshly body in the circumcision of Christ.

riversident@Colossians:2:12 @ You were buried with him in baptism and raised again through faith in the inworking of God who raised him from the dead.

riversident@Colossians:2:13 @ You who were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh God has made alive with him, and has forgiven us all our sins.

riversident@Colossians:2:16 @ Let no one then judge you in the matter of food or drink or in regard to a festival or new moon or Sabbath.

riversident@Colossians:2:18 @ Let no one as umpire defraud you of your prize, if he delights in excessive humility and ceremonial worship of the angels, searching into his own visions, emptily puffed up by his fleshly mind

riversident@Colossians:2:20 @ If you died with Christ to the elementary teachings of the world, why do you, as if still living in the world, have such rules as,

riversident@Colossians:3:1 @ IF then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things above, where Christ is sitting at the right hand of God.

riversident@Colossians:3:2 @ Have your minds on the things above and not on the things on the earth.

riversident@Colossians:3:3 @ For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

riversident@Colossians:3:4 @ When Christ, our life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.

riversident@Colossians:3:5 @ Treat the members of your earthly bodies as dead \'97 dead to unchastity, impurity, passion, evil desire, and avarice, which is idolatry.

riversident@Colossians:3:7 @ To them you also were once habituated when you lived in them.

riversident@Colossians:3:8 @ But now you also must put away all wrath, anger, malice, abusive language. Vile talk must not be in your mouths.

riversident@Colossians:3:9 @ Do not lie to one another. You have stripped off the old self with his practices

riversident@Colossians:3:10 @ and have clothed yourselves with the new self, which is being renewed into knowledge in the image of its Creator.

riversident@Colossians:3:13 @ bearing with one another and forgiving one another, if any one has a grievance against any. Just as the Lord forgave you, so must you forgive.

riversident@Colossians:3:14 @ Above all these, clothe yourselves with love, which is the perfect bond of union.

riversident@Colossians:3:15 @ Let the peace of Christ be umpire in your hearts. For this you were called into one body. And be thankful.

riversident@Colossians:3:16 @ The message of Christ must dwell in you richly, as you teach in all wisdom and admonish one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs and sing with grace in your hearts to God.

riversident@Colossians:3:17 @ And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

riversident@Colossians:3:19 @ Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh toward them.

riversident@Colossians:3:20 @ Children, obey your parents in everything, for this is pleasing in the Lord.

riversident@Colossians:3:21 @ Fathers, do not irritate your children, for they may lose heart.

riversident@Colossians:3:22 @ Slaves, obey in everything your masters in the flesh, not with eye-service as men-pleasers, but in sincerity of heart, because you reverence the Lord.

riversident@Colossians:3:23 @ Whatever you do, do it heartily as for the Lord and not for men,

riversident@Colossians:4:9 @ And with him I am sending Onesimus, the faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They will tell you all about affairs here.

riversident@Colossians:4:10 @ Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner, sends his greetings, and so does Mark, the cousin of Barnabas (note:)you have received letters about him; if he comes, welcome him(:note),

riversident@Colossians:4:12 @ Epaphras, the servant of Christ Jesus, who is one of you, sends his greetings to you. He always wrestles in prayer on your behalf that you may stand mature and fully assured in all the will of God.

riversident@Colossians:4:13 @ I bear witness to the burden that he carries for you and for those in Laodicea and those in Hierapolis.

riversident@Colossians:4:14 @ Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas send you their greetings.

riversident@Colossians:4:16 @ When this letter has been read among you, have it read in the church of the Laodiceans, and you are to read the letter that will come from Laodicea.

riversident@Colossians:4:17 @ Say to Archippus, See to it that you fully perform the service which you have accepted in the Lord.

riversident@Colossians:4:18 @ The greeting of Paul, by my own hand. Remember my chains. Grace be with you.

riversident@1Thessalonians:1:1 @ PAUL and Silvanus and Timothy, to the Church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace.

riversident@1Thessalonians:1:2 @ We thank God always for you all when we mention you in our prayers,

riversident@1Thessalonians:1:3 @ unceasingly remembering your work of faith and labor of love and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ before God our Father.

riversident@1Thessalonians:1:4 @ We know, brethren beloved by God, that he has chosen you

riversident@1Thessalonians:1:5 @ and that our good news came to you not in word only but in power and in the Holy Spirit and in great assurance, just as you know we acted among you for your benefit.

riversident@1Thessalonians:1:6 @ You became imitators of us and of the Lord, receiving the message in great affliction with joy which the Holy Spirit gave,

riversident@1Thessalonians:1:7 @ so that you became a pattern for all believers in Macedonia and in Achaia.

riversident@1Thessalonians:1:8 @ For the message of the Lord sounded forth from you not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place your faith toward God has gone abroad, so that there is no need for us to speak a word.

riversident@1Thessalonians:1:9 @ For the people themselves are telling about us, what a reception we had with you, and how you turned to God from idols, to serve the living and true God

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:1 @ YOU yourselves know, brethren, what a reception we had from you, that it was not without result,

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:2 @ but after we had suffered and been roughly treated, as you know, in Philippi, we made bold in our God to speak to you the good news of God with great wrestling.

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:5 @ Nor did we ever fall into flattering talk, as you know, nor use any pretext for self-enrichment \'97 God is witness \'97

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:6 @ nor did we seek glory from men, either from you or others, although we could have claimed the dignity of Christ's apostles.

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:7 @ But we became gentle in the midst of you like a nursing mother cherishing her own children.

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:8 @ Yearning over you so, we would gladly have imparted to you not only God's good news but our own lives as well, because you had become dear to us.

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:9 @ For you remember, brethren, our toil and labor as we worked night and day so as not to burden any one of you while we proclaimed to you the good news of God.

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:10 @ You are witnesses \'97 and God is witness \'97 how purely and justly and blamelessly we acted toward you who believe.

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:11 @ You know that just like a father toward his own children we encouraged each one of you, and warned and conjured you

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:12 @ to live lives worthy of the God who is calling you into his own kingdom and glory.

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:13 @ For this reason we unceasingly give thanks to God that when you received from us the report of the message of God you accepted it not as the message of men, but, as it truly is, the message of God, which also is doing its work in you who believe.

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:14 @ For you became imitators, brethren, of the churches of God that are in Judaea in Christ Jesus, because you too suffered the same things from your fellow countrymen that they did from the Jews,

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:17 @ But we, brethren, when bereft of you for a little while, out of sight not out of mind, endeavored more earnestly to see your faces, with great longing.

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:18 @ For that reason we determined to come to you, yes, I, Paul, more than once: but Satan hindered us.

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:19 @ For what is our hope or joy or crown to boast of before our Lord Jesus at his coming? Is it not you?

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:20 @ You are our glory and joy.

riversident@1Thessalonians:3:2 @ and sent Timothy, our brother and God's servant in the good news of Christ, to strengthen and encourage you in your faith,

riversident@1Thessalonians:3:3 @ that no one might be disturbed in these trials. For you yourselves know that we are destined to this.

riversident@1Thessalonians:3:4 @ For when we were with you we told you in advance, "We shall soon have trouble." And so it came to pass, as you know.

riversident@1Thessalonians:3:5 @ Therefore, when I could no longer endure the anxiety, I sent to know about your faith for fear that the tempter had tempted you and our labor had gone for nothing.

riversident@1Thessalonians:3:6 @ But now that Timothy has come to us from you and has brought us good news of your faith and love, and that you always keep us well in mind and long to see us, just as we long to see you,

riversident@1Thessalonians:3:7 @ we have been cheered, brethren, in regard to you, in all our straits and distresses by your faith.

riversident@1Thessalonians:3:8 @ Now we are living, since you are standing firm in the Lord.

riversident@1Thessalonians:3:9 @ For how can we be grateful enough to God for you in view of all the joy we have because of you,

riversident@1Thessalonians:3:10 @ 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:3:12 @ The Lord make you to abound and overflow in love toward one another and toward all men, just as we do toward you,

riversident@1Thessalonians:3:13 @ that your hearts may be made firm and you may be blameless in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his holy ones.

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:1 @ TO conclude, brethren, we beg of you and urge you in the Lord Jesus that, as you learned from us how you ought to live to please God, and are living, you will excel still more.

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:2 @ For you know what directions we have given you through the Lord Jesus.

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:3 @ For this is the will of God: to have you become holy and have you shun unchastity;

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:4 @ to have each of you know how to take a wife for himself in holiness and honor,

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:4:8 @ Therefore he who disregards this disregards not man, but God, who gives his Holy Spirit to you.

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:9 @ Regarding brotherly love you have no need for me to write to you. For you yourselves have been taught by God to love one another,

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:10 @ and you do the same to all the brethren in the whole of Macedonia. But we urge you, brethren, to excel still further

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:11 @ and to be ambitious to lead a quiet life and to mind each his own business and to work with your hands, as we instructed you.

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:12 @ Thus you will live becomingly in the sight of outsiders and will have need of nothing.

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:13 @ We do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, regarding those who are sleeping, that you may not sorrow as the rest of men who have no hope.

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:15 @ This we tell you by the word of the Lord: We, the living, who have been left until the coming of the Lord, will not have the start of those who have fallen asleep.

riversident@1Thessalonians: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:5:5 @ You are all sons of light and sons of day. We do not belong to night or to darkness.

riversident@1Thessalonians:5:11 @ Therefore encourage one another and build up one another, as indeed you are doing.

riversident@1Thessalonians:5:12 @ We beg you, brethren, to regard those who are laboring among you and who preside over you in the Lord and give you counsel,

riversident@1Thessalonians:5:13 @ and to esteem them very highly in love on account of their work. Be at peace among yourselves.

riversident@1Thessalonians:5:14 @ We urge you, brethren, to warn the disorderly, encourage the faint-hearted, help the weak, be patient with all.

riversident@1Thessalonians:5:18 @ In everything give thanks, for this is God's will in Christ for you.

riversident@1Thessalonians:5:23 @ May the God of peace himself make you completely holy, and may your spirits and souls and bodies be kept faultless and blameless for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

riversident@1Thessalonians:5:24 @ He is faithful who calls you and he will do it.

riversident@1Thessalonians:5:27 @ I solemnly charge you in the Lord's name to have this letter read to all the brethren.

riversident@1Thessalonians:5:28 @ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

riversident@2Thessalonians:1:2 @ 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:1:5 @ This is a proof of God's righteous judgment. It is to make you worthy of God's kingdom, on behalf of which you are suffering,

riversident@2Thessalonians:1:6 @ since it is just on God's part to repay with trouble those who are troubling you,

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:1:11 @ To this end we are always praying for you that our God will make you worthy of the call, and will by his power bring to completion every one of your kind purposes and works of faith,

riversident@2Thessalonians:1:12 @ that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, according to the grace of our God and of the Lord Jesus Christ.

riversident@2Thessalonians:2:1 @ WITH regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to meet him, I beg you, brethren,

riversident@2Thessalonians:2:3 @ Let no one lead you astray in any way, because it will not come until the Apostasy has first come and the Man of Lawlessness has been revealed \'97 the Son of Perdition,

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

riversident@2Thessalonians:2:6 @ And now you know what is restraining him until he is revealed at his appointed time.

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:2:17 @ encourage your hearts and make you strong in every good word and work.

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:3:3 @ But the Lord is faithful and he will strengthen you and guard you from evil.

riversident@2Thessalonians:3:4 @ We are persuaded in the Lord in regard to you that you are doing and will do what we direct.

riversident@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:3:13 @ But you, brethren, must not become discouraged in doing well.

riversident@2Thessalonians:3:16 @ The Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in all ways. The Lord be with you all.

riversident@2Thessalonians:3:18 @ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with all of you.

riversident@1Timothy:1:3 @ As I begged you to stay in Ephesus when I was leaving for Macedonia, that you might charge some not to teach new and strange doctrines

riversident@1Timothy:1:4 @ nor give attention to myths and endless genealogies, which promote disputes rather than God's plan in the faith, so I beg you now.

riversident@1Timothy:1:18 @ 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:3:14 @ I am writing these things to you, although I hope to come to you soon,

riversident@1Timothy:3:15 @ but so that if I am delayed you may know how people should conduct themselves in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and base of the truth.

riversident@1Timothy:4:6 @ In teaching this to the brethren you will be a noble servant of Christ Jesus, nourished by the words of the faith and of the excellent teaching which you have followed.

riversident@1Timothy:4:7 @ But avoid profane and old-womanish myths. Exercise yourself in godliness.

riversident@1Timothy:4:12 @ Let no one look down on you because you are young, but be an example to believers in speech, in the life you lead, in love, in faith, in purity.

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:4:15 @ Be careful about these things, be fully occupied with them, that your progress may be plain to all.

riversident@1Timothy:4:16 @ Be thoughtful about yourself and your teaching. Persevere in this; for in doing so you will save yourself and those who hear you.

riversident@1Timothy:5:1 @ Do not rebuke an older man, but entreat him as a father, the younger men as brothers,

riversident@1Timothy:5:2 @ the older women as mothers and the younger women as sisters, in all purity.

riversident@1Timothy:5:11 @ But younger widows refuse, for when wanton desires lead them away from Christ they wish to marry

riversident@1Timothy:5:14 @ I would, therefore, have the younger widows marry, bear children, keep house, give no occasion to our enemies for slander.

riversident@1Timothy:5:18 @ For the Scripture says, "You shall not muzzle the ox while he is treading out the grain," and

riversident@1Timothy:5:21 @ I charge you before God and Christ Jesus and the chosen angels to observe these directions without prejudice, doing nothing through partiality.

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:6:11 @ But you, O man of God, must shun this. Pursue righteousness, piety, faith, love, endurance, gentleness.

riversident@1Timothy:6:12 @ Play the grand hard game of the faith. Lay hold on life eternal, to which you have been called and have made the noble confession before many witnesses.

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@1Timothy:6:20 @ O Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to you, turning away from profane and empty talk and contradictions of what is falsely called "knowledge."

riversident@1Timothy:6:21 @ Some while professing it have gone astray as regards the faith. Grace be with you all.

riversident@2Timothy:1:3 @ I thank God whom, I serve, following in the steps of my forefathers, with a pure conscience, while I constantly mention you in my prayers night and day,

riversident@2Timothy:1:4 @ remembering your tears and longing to see you, that I may be filled with joy.

riversident@2Timothy:1:5 @ I remember the sincere faith that is in you, which lived first in your grandmother Lois and then in your mother Eunice, and I am confident that it lives in you also.

riversident@2Timothy:1:6 @ For this reason let me remind you to kindle anew the gift of God that is in you by the laying on of my hands.

riversident@2Timothy:1:13 @ Hold to the example of wholesome words which you heard from me in faith and love in Christ Jesus.

riversident@2Timothy:1:14 @ Guard through the Holy Spirit which dwells in us the precious trust committed to you.

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:2:1 @ YOU, therefore, my child, must be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus,

riversident@2Timothy:2:2 @ and the things you heard from me, which came through many witnesses, you must commit to trustworthy men who will be able to teach others also.

riversident@2Timothy:2:3 @ Take your share of hardship as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.

riversident@2Timothy:2:7 @ Think over what I am saying, for the Lord will give you insight in all things.

riversident@2Timothy:2:15 @ Be earnest in presenting yourself to God as a tested man, a workman who has no cause to be ashamed, rightly handling the message of truth.

riversident@2Timothy:2:22 @ But flee the passions of youth and pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace, in the company of those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

riversident@2Timothy:3:1 @ I WOULD have you know this, that in the last days trying times will come;

riversident@2Timothy:3:10 @ But you have kept track of my teaching, my course of life, my purpose, my faith, my slowness to anger, my love, my patience,

riversident@2Timothy:3:14 @ But you must stand by what you learned and were persuaded of, knowing from whom you learned it

riversident@2Timothy:3:15 @ and that from childhood you have known the sacred writings which can give you wisdom to gain salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.

riversident@2Timothy:4:1 @ I CHARGE you before God and Christ Jesus, who will soon judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom:

riversident@2Timothy:4:5 @ But you must be calm in all circumstances, suffer hardships, do the work of a bringer of the good news, carry out fully all the duties of your office.

riversident@2Timothy:4:11 @ Luke alone is with me. Get Mark and bring him with you, for he is useful to me in service.

riversident@2Timothy:4:13 @ When you come, bring the cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus, and the books, and particularly the parchments.

riversident@2Timothy:4:15 @ Be on your guard against him, for he strongly opposed our teachings.

riversident@2Timothy:4:21 @ Try to come before winter. Eubulus and Pudens and Linus and Claudia and all the brethren send their greetings to you.

riversident@2Timothy:4:22 @ The Lord be with your spirit. Grace be with you all.

riversident@Titus:1:5 @ For this reason I left you in Crete: to arrange the things that are lacking and appoint elders in every city as I directed you,

riversident@Titus:2:1 @ YOU must speak to them of the matters which should have a place in wholesome teaching.

riversident@Titus:2:4 @ that they may train the young women to be loving wives and loving mothers,

riversident@Titus:2:6 @ Urge the younger men, in the same way, to practice self-control in everything.

riversident@Titus:2:7 @ Make yourself an example of good works, sincerity in teaching, dignified behavior

riversident@Titus:2:15 @ Tell them these things, urge, convince with all authority; let no one slight you.

riversident@Titus:3:8 @ That is a trustworthy saying. I wish you to insist on these things so that those who have put their faith in God may give earnest attention to honorable work. These things are honorable and also useful to men.

riversident@Titus:3:12 @ When I send Artemas to you or Tychicus, try to come to me at Nicopolis, for I have decided to pass the winter there.

riversident@Titus:3:13 @ Do your best in helping Zenas, the lawyer, and Apollos forward on their journey so that they may lack nothing.

riversident@Titus:3:15 @ All who are with me send you their greetings. Give our greetings to those who love us in the faith. Grace be with all of you.

riversident@Philemon:1:2 @ and to Apphia, our sister, and to Archippus, our fellow soldier, and to the Church that meets at your house:

riversident@Philemon:1:3 @ Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

riversident@Philemon:1:4 @ I always thank my God when I mention you in my prayers,

riversident@Philemon:1:5 @ for I hear of the love and the loyalty that you have to the Lord Jesus Christ and to all the holy.

riversident@Philemon:1:6 @ I pray that your fellowship in the faith may become effective in the knowledge of all the good there is in us in our relation to Christ.

riversident@Philemon:1:7 @ For I have had great joy and encouragement in your love, because the hearts of the holy have been refreshed by you, brother.

riversident@Philemon:1:8 @ Therefore, though I might have great boldness in Christ to command you what is fitting,

riversident@Philemon:1:9 @ I beg you rather for love's sake, as Paul the old man and now the prisoner of Christ Jesus \'97

riversident@Philemon:1:10 @ I beg you in behalf of my child Onesimus, born to me in my chains,

riversident@Philemon:1:11 @ who once was useless to you, but now is useful to you and to me.

riversident@Philemon:1:12 @ I am sending him back to you, though he is my very heart.

riversident@Philemon:1:13 @ I should like to have him for my own, to serve me in my chains for the good news, as your representative,

riversident@Philemon:1:14 @ but without your consent I am unwilling to do anything, so that your goodness may not be of necessity but of free will.

riversident@Philemon:1:15 @ Perhaps it was for this that he was separated from you for a time, that you might have him back for ever,

riversident@Philemon:1:16 @ no longer as a slave, but more than a slave, a brother beloved, especially to me, but how much more to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.

riversident@Philemon:1:17 @ If then you hold me for a partner, receive him as you would me.

riversident@Philemon:1:18 @ If he has wronged you in any way or owes you anything, charge that to my account.

riversident@Philemon:1:19 @ I, Paul, write it with my own hand. I will pay it \'97 not to mention to you that you owe me your own self besides.

riversident@Philemon:1:20 @ Yes, brother, let me have this help from you in the Lord; refresh my heart in Christ.

riversident@Philemon:1:21 @ I am writing to you confident of your obedience and knowing that you will do more than I say.

riversident@Philemon:1:22 @ At the same time I want you to prepare a lodging for me, for I hope that through your prayers I shall be given back to you.

riversident@Philemon:1:24 @ and Mark, Aristarchus, Demas and Luke, my fellow workers, send you their greetings.

riversident@Philemon:1:25 @ The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirits.

riversident@Hebrews:3:7 @ Wherefore, as the Holy Spirit says, "To-day if you will hear his voice,

riversident@Hebrews:3:8 @ do not harden your hearts as when they made me angry on the day when they tried me in the desert,

riversident@Hebrews:3:9 @ when your fathers put me to a test and saw my deeds for forty years.

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:3:15 @ When it is said, "To-day if you will hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as when they made me angry" \'97

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:4:7 @ 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: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:6:9 @ 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:6:11 @ But we desire to have each one of you show to the end the same earnestness for the fulfillment of our hope,

riversident@Hebrews:6:12 @ that you may not be dull, but imitators of those who through faith and patience are inheriting the promises.

riversident@Hebrews:6:14 @ saying, "Surely, I will greatly bless you and greatly multiply you."

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:9:20 @ saying, "This is the blood of the covenant which God has commanded for you."

riversident@Hebrews:10:25 @ not neglecting to assemble yourselves, as some do, but encouraging one another, and so much the more, as you see the day drawing near.

riversident@Hebrews:10:29 @ Of how much worse punishment do you think he will be judged worthy who has trampled on the Son of God, who has thought the blood of the covenant, by which it was made holy, an unholy thing, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace?

riversident@Hebrews:10:32 @ Remember the early days in which, after being enlightened, you endured a great struggle with sufferings,

riversident@Hebrews:10:34 @ For you even suffered with the prisoners and accepted the plundering of your property with joy, knowing that you had a better and enduring possession.

riversident@Hebrews:10:35 @ 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:11:18 @ regarding whom it had been said, "Those only whose descent is through Isaac shall be called your descendants."

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:12:4 @ You have not yet resisted to blood in the contest against sin,

riversident@Hebrews:12:5 @ and you have forgotten the encouragement which reasons with you as with sons, "My son, do not think slightingly of the discipline of the Lord and be not faint-hearted when reproved by him:

riversident@Hebrews:12:7 @ 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:12:8 @ But if you are without discipline, in which all share, then you are bastards and not sons.

riversident@Hebrews:12:11 @ All discipline for the time being seems not joyous but grievous, but afterward it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have passed through its training.

riversident@Hebrews:12:13 @ 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:12:17 @ 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:12:22 @ But you have come to Mount Zion and the city of the living God, heavenly Jerusalem, to tens of thousands of angels,

riversident@Hebrews:13:3 @ Keep in mind the prisoners, as if you were their fellow prisoners, and those who are suffering hardships, since you yourselves are also in the body.

riversident@Hebrews:13:5 @ 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:13:7 @ Remember your leaders, those who have spoken to you God's message, think how they ended their lives and imitate their faith.

riversident@Hebrews:13:17 @ 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:13:19 @ I earnestly beg you to do this that I may be restored to you the sooner.

riversident@Hebrews:13:21 @ equip you with every good thing for doing his will, doing in you what is well-pleasing in his sight through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for the ages of the ages. Amen.

riversident@Hebrews:13:22 @ I beg you, brethren, to bear with my words of exhortation; for I have written to you briefly.

riversident@Hebrews:13:23 @ I wish you to know that our brother Timothy has been set at liberty. With him, if he comes soon, I will see you.

riversident@Hebrews:13:24 @ Give my greetings to all your leaders and all the holy. Those who are from Italy send their greetings to you.

riversident@Hebrews:13:25 @ Grace be with you all.

riversident@James:1:2 @ Think it all joy, my brethren, when you fall into all sorts of trials,

riversident@James:1:3 @ since you know that the testing of your faith brings out endurance.

riversident@James:1:4 @ Let endurance do its complete work, that you may be complete and perfect, lacking in nothing.

riversident@James:1:5 @ If any one of you is lacking in wisdom, let him ask it from God, who gives to all freely without reproaching, and it will be given to him.

riversident@James:1:19 @ I wish you to know this, my beloved brethren: Every man must be quick to hear, but slow to speak, slow to anger.

riversident@James:1:21 @ So lay aside all that is vile and all that remains of malice, and receive with gentleness the implanted message which can save your souls.

riversident@James:1:22 @ Become doers of the message and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

riversident@James:2:2 @ For if there comes into your assembly a man with gold rings and in fine clothes, and there comes in a poor man in soiled clothes,

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:2:4 @ are you not making distinctions in your own minds and have you not become judges with wicked thoughts?

riversident@James:2:6 @ But you have dishonored the poor man. Do not the rich oppress you and drag you before courts?

riversident@James:2:7 @ Do they not speak profanely of the noble name by which you are called?

riversident@James:2:8 @ If you keep the royal law according to the Scripture, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself," you do well.

riversident@James:2:9 @ But if you have partiality, you commit sin and are convicted by the law as law-breakers.

riversident@James:2:11 @ For he who said, "Thou shalt not commit adultery," said also, "Thou shalt not commit murder." If you do not commit adultery, but do commit murder, you have become a law-breaker.

riversident@James:2:16 @ and one of you says to them, "Go in peace, be warmed and fed," but you do not give them what the body needs, what is the good of it?

riversident@James:2:18 @ But some one will say, "You have faith and I have works. Show me your faith without your works and I will show you my faith by my works."

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:2:22 @ 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:3:13 @ Who is wise and intelligent among you? Let him show out of the noble life that he lives his works in wise gentleness.

riversident@James:3:14 @ But if you have bitter jealousy and party-spirit in your hearts, do not boast and falsely contradict the truth.

riversident@James:4:1 @ WHENCE come wars and whence come strifes among you? Is it not from your pleasures which carry on war in your members?

riversident@James:4:2 @ You long for something and do not have it. You murder and envy and cannot obtain it. You battle and war. You do not have, because of your not asking.

riversident@James:4:3 @ You ask and do not receive, because you ask wickedly to waste it on your pleasures.

riversident@James:4:4 @ You adulteresses, do you not know that the friendship of the world is enmity to God? Whoever chooses to be a friend to the world stands as an enemy of God.

riversident@James:4:5 @ Do you think that the Scripture speaks to no purpose? Does the Spirit which he made dwell in us long enviously?

riversident@James:4:7 @ Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the Devil and he will flee from you.

riversident@James:4:8 @ Draw near to God and he will draw near to you. Make your hands clean, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

riversident@James:4:9 @ Be sorrowful and mourn and lament. Let your laughter be turned into grief and your gladness into gloom.

riversident@James:4:10 @ Humble yourselves before the Lord and he will exalt you.

riversident@James:4:11 @ Do not speak against one another, brethren. He who speaks against his brother speaks against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law you are not a doer of the law, but a judge.

riversident@James:4:12 @ One is the Lawgiver and Judge \'97 he who is able to save and to destroy. Who are you, to judge your neighbor?

riversident@James:4:13 @ Come, now, you who say, "To-day or to-morrow we will go to such a city and spend a year and do business and make money,"

riversident@James:4:14 @ though you do not know what your life will be like on the morrow. For you are a vapor that appears for a little while and then disappears.

riversident@James:4:15 @ You should rather say, "If the Lord wills it, we shall live and do this or that."

riversident@James:4:16 @ But now you glory in bragging. All such glorying is evil.

riversident@James:5:1 @ COME, now, you rich men, wail and lament over the miseries that are coming upon you.

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:5:4 @ You have laid up treasures in the last days. See, the wages of the laborers who reaped your fields, fraudulently kept back by you, call aloud, and the cries of the harvesters have come into the ears of the Lord of armies.

riversident@James:5:5 @ You have lived luxuriously in the land and have given yourselves up to pleasure. You have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter.

riversident@James:5:6 @ You have condemned, you have murdered, the righteous; he does not resist you.

riversident@James:5:8 @ 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:5:11 @ We call them blessed because they endured. You have heard of the patience of Job and have seen the end of the Lord's dealings with him, that the Lord is very tender and compassionate.

riversident@James:5:12 @ Above all things, my brethren, do not swear, either by heaven or by the earth or by any other oath. Let your yes be yes and your no be no, that you may not fall under condemnation.

riversident@James:5:13 @ Is any one of you suffering hardship? Let him pray. Is any one cheerful? Let him sing with the harp.

riversident@James:5:14 @ Is any one of you sick? Let him call in the elders of the church and let them pray over him and anoint him with olive oil in the name of the Lord.

riversident@James:5:16 @ Confess your sins to one another and pray for one another in order to be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man has great power.

riversident@James:5:19 @ My brethren, if one of you strays from the truth and any one brings him back,

riversident@James:5:20 @ I wish you to know that he who brings back a sinner from his wanderings will save his soul from death and will hide a host of sins.

riversident@1Peter:1:12 @ It was revealed to them that they were serving not themselves but you, in these things which now have been announced to you through those who have told you the good news by the Holy Spirit sent forth from heaven \'97 things which angels earnestly long to look into.

riversident@1Peter:1:13 @ Therefore brace up your minds, be calm and set your hope perfectly on the grace that is to be brought to you when Jesus Christ is revealed.

riversident@1Peter:1:14 @ As obedient children, do not shape your lives by the passions that ruled you in the former days of ignorance,

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:2:10 @ Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God: once you had not found compassion, but now you have found compassion.

riversident@1Peter:2:11 @ Beloved, I beg you, as foreigners and resident aliens, to shun the passions of the flesh which war against the soul.

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:2:18 @ Household servants, be submissive with all reverence to your lords, not only to the good and fair, but also to the surly.

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:2:25 @ For you were going astray like sheep, but have now returned to the shepherd and guardian of your souls.

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:3:3 @ Your adornment must not be of the external kind \'97 braiding the hair and putting on gold and wearing fine dresses;

riversident@1Peter:3:6 @ as Sarah obeyed Abraham and called him Master. You have become her children when you do well and feel no terror.

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:3:9 @ 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:3:14 @ But if you should suffer for being righteous, you are blessed. Have no fear of them and do not be disturbed;

riversident@1Peter:3:15 @ but exalt Christ as Lord in your hearts and be always ready to defend yourselves to every one who asks you to give account of the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence.

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:4:1 @ SINCE, then, Christ suffered in the flesh, you also must arm yourselves with the same mind. For he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,

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:4:7 @ The end of all things is near. Therefore be serious and sober and give yourselves to prayer.

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:4:14 @ If you are reproached for the name of Christ you are blessed, for the spirit of glory and of God rests upon you.

riversident@1Peter:4:15 @ No one of you must suffer as a murderer or as a thief or as a wrongdoer or as a meddler in other men's affairs.

riversident@1Peter:5:1 @ THE elders among you I beg \'97 I who am a fellow elder and a witness to the sufferings of Christ and a sharer in the glory soon to be revealed \'97

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:5:3 @ not lording it over your charges, but becoming examples to the flock.

riversident@1Peter:5:4 @ Then when the chief Shepherd appears you will be repaid with the never-fading crown of glory.

riversident@1Peter:5:5 @ In the same way you younger men must be subject to your elders. You all must put on the apron of humble service for one another. For God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.

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:5:7 @ Cast all your anxiety on him, for he cares for you.

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:5:10 @ The God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little will equip, establish and strengthen you.

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@1Peter:5:13 @ She who is in Babylon, chosen with you, sends her greeting to you, and so does Mark my son.

riversident@1Peter:5:14 @ Salute one another with a kiss of love. Peace be to you all in Christ.

riversident@2Peter:1:2 @ Grace be to you and peace be multiplied in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.

riversident@2Peter:1:4 @ 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:1:5 @ for this very reason make it your whole endeavor to supply to your faith virtue, and to your virtue knowledge,

riversident@2Peter:1:6 @ and to your knowledge self-control, and to your self-control endurance, and to your endurance reverence,

riversident@2Peter:1:7 @ and to your reverence brotherliness, and to your brotherliness love.

riversident@2Peter:1:8 @ For when you have these in abundance they make you to be neither idle nor fruitless regarding the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

riversident@2Peter:1:10 @ 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:1:11 @ For so entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be richly provided for you.

riversident@2Peter:1:12 @ For this reason I shall always keep reminding you of these things, although you know them and are steadfast in the truth that you have.

riversident@2Peter:1:13 @ I think it right so long as I am in this tent to arouse you by reminding you,

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:1:16 @ For we were not following cunningly devised myths when we told you of the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we had been eye-witnesses of his majesty.

riversident@2Peter:1:19 @ 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:2:1 @ BUT false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among yourselves, and they will craftily bring in deadly heresies, even disowning the Lord who bought them and bringing on themselves quick ruin.

riversident@2Peter:2:3 @ 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:2:13 @ and will suffer unrighteously as the reward of their own unrighteousness. They think it pleasure to revel in the daytime. They are spots and blots as they revel in their deceptions while they feast sumptuously with you.

riversident@2Peter:3:1 @ THIS second letter, beloved, I am writing you. In both I have tried, by awakening your memory,

riversident@2Peter:3:2 @ to arouse your honest minds to recall the predictions of the holy prophets and the commands of your apostles from the Lord and Savior.

riversident@2Peter:3:3 @ First you should know this, that in the last days scoffers will come with their scoffing, living according to their own passions

riversident@2Peter:3:11 @ Since all of these things are to be dissolved, what sort of persons ought you to be in holy lives and piety,

riversident@2Peter:3:12 @ you who are looking for and hastening toward the coming of the day of God, when the blazing heavens will be dissolved and the burning elements melted?

riversident@2Peter:3:14 @ Therefore, beloved, since you expect this, endeavor earnestly to be found by him in peace, spotless and faultless,

riversident@2Peter:3:15 @ and regard the long-suffering of our Lord as salvation, as also our beloved brother Paul has written to you, according to the wisdom given to him.

riversident@2Peter:3:17 @ You, then, beloved, since you know these things beforehand, be on your guard not to be led away by the error of the lawless and fall from your own steadfastness,

riversident@1John:1:3 @ what wo have seen and heard we are telling you also, so that you may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ.

riversident@1John:1:5 @ This is the message which we have heard from him and tell to you, God is light and in him is no darkness at all.

riversident@1John: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:2:7 @ 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:2:8 @ Again I am writing a new command, which is true in him and in you, because the darkness is passing away and the true Light is already shining.

riversident@1John:2:12 @ I am writing to you, little children, because your sins have been forgiven for his name's sake.

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:2:18 @ Little children, it is the last hour, and as you have heard that Antichrist is coming, even now many Antichrists have arisen. By this we know that it is the last hour.

riversident@1John:2:20 @ You have an anointing from the Holy One and you all know.

riversident@1John:2:21 @ I am not writing to you because you do not know the truth, but because you know it and know that no lie is from the truth.

riversident@1John:2:24 @ 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:2:26 @ I am writing this to you in regard to those who are misleading you.

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:2:29 @ If you know that he is righteous, you know that every one who does righteousness has been born of him.

riversident@1John:3:5 @ You know that Christ appeared to take away sins and in him there is no sin.

riversident@1John:3:7 @ Little children, let no one deceive you. He who is doing righteousness is righteous as Christ is righteous.

riversident@1John:3:11 @ For this is the message which you have heard from the beginning, that we must love one another.

riversident@1John:3:13 @ Do not be surprised, brethren, if the world hates you.

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: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: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:5:21 @ Little children, guard yourselves from idols.

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:1:8 @ Guard yourselves so as not to lose what we have worked for, but so that you may gain a full reward.

riversident@2John:1:10 @ If any one comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not take him into your house and do not bid him welcome.

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@2John:1:13 @ The children of your chosen sister send greetings to you.

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:1:5 @ Beloved, you do faithfully whatever work you do for the brethren, even when they are strangers,

riversident@3John:1:6 @ and they have testified to your love before the church. You will do well to help them forward on their journey in a manner worthy of God.

riversident@3John:1:12 @ Testimony has been borne to Demetrius by all and by the truth itself. We too bear testimony, and you know that our testimony is true.

riversident@3John:1:13 @ I had much to write to you, but I will not write to you with ink and pen.

riversident@3John:1:14 @ But I hope to see you shortly, and we shall speak face to face. Peace be to you. The friends send greetings to you. Greet the friends by name.

riversident@Jude:1:2 @ Mercy and peace and love be multiplied to you.

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:1:9 @ But Michael, the arch-angel, when in dispute with the Devil he was arguing about the body of Moses, did not venture to bring against him an abusive judgment, but said, "The Lord rebuke you."

riversident@Jude:1:12 @ These are the hidden reefs in your love-feasts while they feast freely with you without fear, shepherds who care only for themselves, waterless clouds driven by winds, trees in autumn fruitless, twice dead, uprooted,

riversident@Jude:1:17 @ But you, beloved, remember the words which were long ago spoken by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ,

riversident@Jude:1:18 @ how they told you that in the latter time there would be scoffers living according to their own ungodly passions.

riversident@Jude:1:20 @ But you, beloved, building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit,

riversident@Jude:1:21 @ must keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you into life eternal.

riversident@Jude:1:24 @ To him who is able to guard you from falling and to make you stand faultless before his glory in great joy,
