nasb@Romans:1:5 @through whom we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith among all the Gentiles for His name's sake,

nasb@Romans:1:7 @to all who are beloved of God in Rome, called as saints- Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

nasb@Romans:1:8 @First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, because your faith is being proclaimed throughout the whole world.

nasb@Romans:1:9 @For God, whom I serve in my spirit in the preaching of the gospel of His Son, is my witness as to how unceasingly I make mention of you,

nasb@Romans:1:11 @For I long to see you so that I may impart some spiritual gift to you, that you may be established;

nasb@Romans:1:13 @I do not want you to be unaware, brethren, that often I have planned to come to you (and have been prevented so far) so that I may obtain some fruit among you also, even as among the rest of the Gentiles.

nasb@Romans:1:15 @So, for my part, I am eager to preach the gospel to you also who are in Rome.

nasb@Romans:1:16 @For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

nasb@Romans:1:18 @For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,

nasb@Romans:1:21 @For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

nasb@Romans:1:22 @Professing to be wise, they became fools,

nasb@Romans:1:25 @For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

nasb@Romans:1:26 @For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural,

nasb@Romans:1:27 @and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error.

nasb@Romans:1:31 @without understanding, untrustworthy, unloving, unmerciful;

nasb@Romans:1:32 @and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them.

nasb@Romans:2:1 @Therefore you have no excuse, everyone of you who passes judgment, for in that which you judge another, you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things.

nasb@Romans:2:2 @And we know that the judgment of God rightly falls upon those who practice such things.

nasb@Romans:2:3 @But do you suppose this, O man, when you pass judgment on those who practice such things and do the same yourself, that you will escape the judgment of God?

nasb@Romans:2:5 @But because of your stubbornness and unrepentant heart you are storing up wrath for yourself in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God,

nasb@Romans:2:16 @on the day when, according to my gospel, God will judge the secrets of men through Christ Jesus.

nasb@Romans:2:17 @But if you bear the name "Jew" and rely upon the Law and boast in God,

nasb@Romans:2:20 @a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of the immature, having in the Law the embodiment of knowledge and of the truth,

nasb@Romans:2:24 @For " THE NAME OF GOD IS BLASPHEMED AMONG THE GENTILES BECAUSE OF YOU," just as it is written.

nasb@Romans:2:25 @For indeed circumcision is of value if you practice the Law; but if you are a transgressor of the Law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.

nasb@Romans:2:26 @So if the uncircumcised man keeps the requirements of the Law, will not his uncircumcision be regarded as circumcision?

nasb@Romans:2:29 @But he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that which is of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter; and his praise is not from men, but from God.

nasb@Romans:3:3 @What then? If some did not believe, their unbelief will not nullify the faithfulness of God, will it?

nasb@Romans:3:8 @And why not say (as we are slanderously reported and as some claim that we say), " Let us do evil that good may come"? Their condemnation is just.

nasb@Romans:3:12 @ALL HAVE TURNED ASIDE, TOGETHER THEY HAVE BECOME USELESS; THERE IS NONE WHO DOES GOOD, THERE IS NOT EVEN ONE."

nasb@Romans:3:19 @Now we know that whatever the Law says, it speaks to those who are under the Law, so that every mouth may be closed and all the world may become accountable to God;

nasb@Romans:3:20 @because by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified in His sight; for through the Law comes the knowledge of sin.

nasb@Romans:3:26 @for the demonstration, I say, of His righteousness at the present time, so that He would be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.

nasb@Romans:4:2 @For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God.

nasb@Romans:4:18 @In hope against hope he believed, so that he might become a father of many nations according to that which had been spoken, " SO SHALL YOUR DESCENDANTS BE."

nasb@Romans:5:6 @For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.

nasb@Romans:5:7 @For one will hardly die for a righteous man; though perhaps for the good man someone would dare even to die.

nasb@Romans:5:12 @Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned--

nasb@Romans:5:14 @Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who had not sinned in the likeness of the offense of Adam, who is a type of Him who was to come.

nasb@Romans:5:16 @The gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned; for on the one hand the judgment arose from one transgression resulting in condemnation, but on the other hand the free gift arose from many transgressions resulting in justification.

nasb@Romans:5:18 @So then as through one transgression there resulted condemnation to all men, even so through one act of righteousness there resulted justification of life to all men.

nasb@Romans:5:20 @The Law came in so that the transgression would increase; but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more,

nasb@Romans:6:5 @For if we have become united with Him in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall also be in the likeness of His resurrection,

nasb@Romans:6:13 @and do not go on presenting the members of your body to sin as instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves to God as those alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.

nasb@Romans:6:16 @Do you not know that when you present yourselves to someone as slaves for obedience, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin resulting in death, or of obedience resulting in righteousness?

nasb@Romans:6:17 @But thanks be to God that though you were slaves of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching to which you were committed,

nasb@Romans:6:18 @and having been freed from sin, you became slaves of righteousness.

nasb@Romans:6:19 @I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness, resulting in further lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness, resulting in sanctification.

nasb@Romans:6:21 @Therefore what benefit were you then deriving from the things of which you are now ashamed? For the outcome of those things is death.

nasb@Romans:6:22 @But now having been freed from sin and enslaved to God, you derive your benefit, resulting in sanctification, and the outcome, eternal life.

nasb@Romans:7:5 @For while we were in the flesh, the sinful passions, which were aroused by the Law, were at work in the members of our body to bear fruit for death.

nasb@Romans:7:7 @What shall we say then? Is the Law sin? May it never be! On the contrary, I would not have come to know sin except through the Law; for I would not have known about coveting if the Law had not said, " YOU SHALL NOT COVET."

nasb@Romans:7:8 @But sin, taking opportunity through the commandment, produced in me coveting of every kind; for apart from the Law sin is dead.

nasb@Romans:7:9 @I was once alive apart from the Law; but when the commandment came, sin became alive and I died;

nasb@Romans:7:10 @and this commandment, which was to result in life, proved to result in death for me;

nasb@Romans:7:11 @for sin, taking an opportunity through the commandment, deceived me and through it killed me.

nasb@Romans:7:12 @So then, the Law is holy, and the commandment is holy and righteous and good.

nasb@Romans:7:13 @Therefore did that which is good become a cause of death for me? May it never be! Rather it was sin, in order that it might be shown to be sin by effecting my death through that which is good, so that through the commandment sin would become utterly sinful.

nasb@Romans:7:17 @So now, no longer am I the one doing it, but sin which dwells in me.

nasb@Romans:7:18 @For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh; for the willing is present in me, but the doing of the good is not.

nasb@Romans:7:20 @But if I am doing the very thing I do not want, I am no longer the one doing it, but sin which dwells in me.

nasb@Romans:7:21 @I find then the principle that evil is present in me, the one who wants to do good.

nasb@Romans:7:23 @but I see a different law in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin which is in my members.

nasb@Romans:7:24 @Wretched man that I am! Who will set me free from the body of this death?

nasb@Romans:8:4 @so that the requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

nasb@Romans:8:18 @For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us.

nasb@Romans:8:26 @In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words;

nasb@Romans:8:29 @For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren;

nasb@Romans:8:38 @For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,

nasb@Romans:9:1 @I am telling the truth in Christ, I am not lying, my conscience testifies with me in the Holy Spirit,

nasb@Romans:9:3 @For I could wish that I myself were accursed, separated from Christ for the sake of my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh,

nasb@Romans:9:5 @whose are the fathers, and from whom is the Christ according to the flesh, who is over all, God blessed forever. Amen.

nasb@Romans:9:7 @nor are they all children because they are Abraham's descendants, but- " THROUGH ISAAC YOUR DESCENDANTS WILL BE NAMED."

nasb@Romans:9:9 @For this is the word of promise- " AT THIS TIME I WILL COME, AND SARAH SHALL HAVE A SON."

nasb@Romans:9:15 @For He says to Moses, " I WILL HAVE MERCY ON WHOM I HAVE MERCY, AND I WILL HAVE COMPASSION ON WHOM I HAVE COMPASSION."

nasb@Romans:9:16 @So then it does not depend on the man who wills or the man who runs, but on God who has mercy.

nasb@Romans:9:17 @For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, " FOR THIS VERY PURPOSE I RAISED YOU UP, TO DEMONSTRATE MY POWER IN YOU, AND THAT MY NAME MIGHT BE PROCLAIMED THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE EARTH."

nasb@Romans:9:18 @So then He has mercy on whom He desires, and He hardens whom He desires.

nasb@Romans:9:19 @You will say to me then, " Why does He still find fault? For who resists His will?"

nasb@Romans:9:20 @On the contrary, who are you, O man, who answers back to God? The thing molded will not say to the molder, "Why did you make me like this," will it?

nasb@Romans:9:21 @Or does not the potter have a right over the clay, to make from the same lump one vessel for honorable use and another for common use?

nasb@Romans:9:23 @And He did so to make known the riches of His glory upon vessels of mercy, which He prepared beforehand for glory,

nasb@Romans:9:29 @And just as Isaiah foretold, " UNLESS THE LORD OF SABAOTH HAD LEFT TO US A POSTERITY, WE WOULD HAVE BECOME LIKE SODOM, AND WOULD HAVE RESEMBLED GOMORRAH."

nasb@Romans:10:12 @For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, abounding in riches for all who call on Him;

nasb@Romans:10:13 @for " WHOEVER WILL CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED."

nasb@Romans:10:17 @So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.

nasb@Romans:10:20 @And Isaiah is very bold and says, " I WAS FOUND BY THOSE WHO DID NOT SEEK ME, I BECAME MANIFEST TO THOSE WHO DID NOT ASK FOR ME."

nasb@Romans:11:4 @But what is the divine response to him? " I HAVE KEPT for Myself SEVEN THOUSAND MEN WHO HAVE NOT BOWED THE KNEE TO BAAL."

nasb@Romans:11:5 @In the same way then, there has also come to be at the present time a remnant according to God's gracious choice.

nasb@Romans:11:9 @And David says, " LET THEIR TABLE BECOME A SNARE AND A TRAP, AND A STUMBLING BLOCK AND A RETRIBUTION TO THEM.

nasb@Romans:11:11 @I say then, they did not stumble so as to fall, did they? May it never be! But by their transgression salvation has come to the Gentiles, to make them jealous.

nasb@Romans:11:12 @Now if their transgression is riches for the world and their failure is riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their fulfillment be!

nasb@Romans:11:14 @if somehow I might move to jealousy my fellow countrymen and save some of them.

nasb@Romans:11:17 @But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them and became partaker with them of the rich root of the olive tree,

nasb@Romans:11:18 @do not be arrogant toward the branches; but if you are arrogant, remember that it is not you who supports the root, but the root supports you.

nasb@Romans:11:25 @For I do not want you, brethren, to be uninformed of this mystery--so that you will not be wise in your own estimation--that a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in;

nasb@Romans:11:26 @and so all Israel will be saved; just as it is written, " THE DELIVERER WILL COME FROM ZION, HE WILL REMOVE UNGODLINESS FROM JACOB."

nasb@Romans:11:30 @For just as you once were disobedient to God, but now have been shown mercy because of their disobedience,

nasb@Romans:11:31 @so these also now have been disobedient, that because of the mercy shown to you they also may now be shown mercy.

nasb@Romans:11:32 @For God has shut up all in disobedience so that He may show mercy to all.

nasb@Romans:11:33 @Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways!

nasb@Romans:11:34 @For WHO HAS KNOWN THE MIND OF THE LORD, OR WHO BECAME HIS COUNSELOR?

nasb@Romans:11:36 @For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever. Amen.

nasb@Romans:12:1 @Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship.

nasb@Romans:12:2 @And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.

nasb@Romans:12:3 @For through the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think; but to think so as to have sound judgment, as God has allotted to each a measure of faith.

nasb@Romans:12:4 @For just as we have many members in one body and all the members do not have the same function,

nasb@Romans:12:5 @so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.

nasb@Romans:12:8 @or he who exhorts, in his exhortation; he who gives, with liberality; he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.

nasb@Romans:12:16 @Be of the same mind toward one another; do not be haughty in mind, but associate with the lowly. Do not be wise in your own estimation.

nasb@Romans:12:17 @Never pay back evil for evil to anyone. Respect what is right in the sight of all men.

nasb@Romans:12:18 @If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men.

nasb@Romans:12:21 @Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

nasb@Romans:13:3 @For rulers are not a cause of fear for good behavior, but for evil. Do you want to have no fear of authority? Do what is good and you will have praise from the same;

nasb@Romans:13:9 @For this, " YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY, YOU SHALL NOT MURDER, YOU SHALL NOT STEAL, YOU SHALL NOT COVET," and if there is any other commandment, it is summed up in this saying, " YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF."

nasb@Romans:13:10 @Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

nasb@Romans:13:11 @Do this, knowing the time, that it is already the hour for you to awaken from sleep; for now salvation is nearer to us than when we believed.

nasb@Romans:14:1 @Now accept the one who is weak in faith, but not for the purpose of passing judgment on his opinions.

nasb@Romans:14:10 @But you, why do you judge your brother? Or you again, why do you regard your brother with contempt? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God.

nasb@Romans:14:11 @For it is written, " AS I LIVE, SAYS THE LORD, EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW TO ME, AND EVERY TONGUE SHALL GIVE PRAISE TO GOD."

nasb@Romans:14:18 @For he who in this way serves Christ is acceptable to God and approved by men.

nasb@Romans:14:21 @It is good not to eat meat or to drink wine, or to do anything by which your brother stumbles.

nasb@Romans:15:3 @For even Christ did not please Himself; but as it is written, " THE REPROACHES OF THOSE WHO REPROACHED YOU FELL ON ME."

nasb@Romans:15:4 @For whatever was written in earlier times was written for our instruction, so that through perseverance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.

nasb@Romans:15:5 @Now may the God who gives perseverance and encouragement grant you to be of the same mind with one another according to Christ Jesus,

nasb@Romans:15:8 @For I say that Christ has become a servant to the circumcision on behalf of the truth of God to confirm the promises given to the fathers,

nasb@Romans:15:9 @and for the Gentiles to glorify God for His mercy; as it is written, " THEREFORE I WILL GIVE PRAISE TO YOU AMONG THE GENTILES, AND I WILL SING TO YOUR NAME."

nasb@Romans:15:12 @Again Isaiah says, " THERE SHALL COME THE ROOT OF JESSE, AND HE WHO ARISES TO RULE OVER THE GENTILES, IN HIM SHALL THE GENTILES HOPE."

nasb@Romans:15:15 @But I have written very boldly to you on some points so as to remind you again, because of the grace that was given me from God,

nasb@Romans:15:16 @to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles, ministering as a priest the gospel of God, so that my offering of the Gentiles may become acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

nasb@Romans:15:18 @For I will not presume to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me, resulting in the obedience of the Gentiles by word and deed,

nasb@Romans:15:20 @And thus I aspired to preach the gospel, not where Christ was already named, so that I would not build on another man's foundation;

nasb@Romans:15:23 @but now, with no further place for me in these regions, and since I have had for many years a longing to come to you

nasb@Romans:15:29 @I know that when I come to you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of Christ.

nasb@Romans:15:30 @Now I urge you, brethren, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to strive together with me in your prayers to God for me,

nasb@Romans:15:32 @so that I may come to you in joy by the will of God and find refreshing rest in your company.

nasb@Romans:15:33 @Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.

nasb@Romans:16:1 @I commend to you our sister Phoebe, who is a servant of the church which is at Cenchrea;

nasb@Romans:16:7 @Greet Andronicus and Junias, my kinsmen and my fellow prisoners, who are outstanding among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me.

nasb@Romans:16:14 @Greet Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas and the brethren with them.

nasb@Romans:16:18 @For such men are slaves, not of our Lord Christ but of their own appetites; and by their smooth and flattering speech they deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting.

nasb@Romans:16:21 @Timothy my fellow worker greets you, and so do Lucius and Jason and Sosipater, my kinsmen.

nasb@Romans:16:23 @Gaius, host to me and to the whole church, greets you. Erastus, the city treasurer greets you, and Quartus, the brother.

nasb@Romans:16:24 @[ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.]

nasb@Romans:16:26 @but now is manifested, and by the Scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the eternal God, has been made known to all the nations, leading to obedience of faith;

nasb@Romans:16:27 @to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, be the glory forever. Amen.

nasb@1Corinthians:1:2 @To the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, saints by calling, with all who in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours-

nasb@1Corinthians:1:6 @even as the testimony concerning Christ was confirmed in you,

nasb@1Corinthians:1:8 @who will also confirm you to the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

nasb@1Corinthians:1:10 @Now I exhort you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all agree and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be made complete in the same mind and in the same judgment.

nasb@1Corinthians:1:11 @For I have been informed concerning you, my brethren, by Chloe's people, that there are quarrels among you.

nasb@1Corinthians:1:12 @Now I mean this, that each one of you is saying, "I am of Paul," and "I of Apollos," and "I of Cephas," and "I of Christ."

nasb@1Corinthians:1:13 @Has Christ been divided? Paul was not crucified for you, was he? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?

nasb@1Corinthians:1:15 @so that no one would say you were baptized in my name.

nasb@1Corinthians:1:17 @For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not in cleverness of speech, so that the cross of Christ would not be made void.

nasb@1Corinthians:1:21 @For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not come to know God, God was well-pleased through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe.

nasb@1Corinthians:1:25 @Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

nasb@1Corinthians:1:27 @but God has chosen the foolish things of the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to shame the things which are strong,

nasb@1Corinthians:1:30 @But by His doing you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption,

nasb@1Corinthians:2:1 @And when I came to you, brethren, I did not come with superiority of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God.

nasb@1Corinthians:2:4 @and my message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,

nasb@1Corinthians:2:5 @so that your faith would not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God.

nasb@1Corinthians:2:11 @For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so the thoughts of God no one knows except the Spirit of God.

nasb@1Corinthians:3:1 @And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual men, but as to men of flesh, as to infants in Christ.

nasb@1Corinthians:3:3 @for you are still fleshly. For since there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not fleshly, and are you not walking like mere men?

nasb@1Corinthians:3:4 @For when one says, "I am of Paul," and another, "I am of Apollos," are you not mere men?

nasb@1Corinthians:3:10 @According to the grace of God which was given to me, like a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another is building on it. But each man must be careful how he builds on it.

nasb@1Corinthians:3:13 @each man's work will become evident; for the day will show it because it is to be revealed with fire, and the fire itself will test the quality of each man's work.

nasb@1Corinthians:3:18 @Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you thinks that he is wise in this age, he must become foolish, so that he may become wise.

nasb@1Corinthians:3:21 @So then let no one boast in men. For all things belong to you,

nasb@1Corinthians:3:22 @whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or things present or things to come; all things belong to you,

nasb@1Corinthians:4:3 @But to me it is a very small thing that I may be examined by you, or by any human court; in fact, I do not even examine myself.

nasb@1Corinthians:4:4 @For I am conscious of nothing against myself, yet I am not by this acquitted; but the one who examines me is the Lord.

nasb@1Corinthians:4:5 @Therefore do not go on passing judgment before the time, but wait until the Lord comes who will both bring to light the things hidden in the darkness and disclose the motives of men's hearts; and then each man's praise will come to him from God.

nasb@1Corinthians:4:6 @Now these things, brethren, I have figuratively applied to myself and Apollos for your sakes, so that in us you may learn not to exceed what is written, so that no one of you will become arrogant in behalf of one against the other.

nasb@1Corinthians:4:8 @You are already filled, you have already become rich, you have become kings without us; and indeed, I wish that you had become kings so that we also might reign with you.

nasb@1Corinthians:4:9 @For, I think, God has exhibited us apostles last of all, as men condemned to death; because we have become a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to men.

nasb@1Corinthians:4:11 @To this present hour we are both hungry and thirsty, and are poorly clothed, and are roughly treated, and are homeless;

nasb@1Corinthians:4:13 @when we are slandered, we try to conciliate; we have become as the scum of the world, the dregs of all things, even until now.

nasb@1Corinthians:4:14 @I do not write these things to shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved children.

nasb@1Corinthians:4:15 @For if you were to have countless tutors in Christ, yet you would not have many fathers, for in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel.

nasb@1Corinthians:4:16 @Therefore I exhort you, be imitators of me.

nasb@1Corinthians:4:18 @Now some have become arrogant, as though I were not coming to you.

nasb@1Corinthians:4:19 @But I will come to you soon, if the Lord wills, and I shall find out, not the words of those who are arrogant but their power.

nasb@1Corinthians:4:21 @What do you desireNULL Shall I come to you with a rod, or with love and a spirit of gentlenessNULL

nasb@1Corinthians:5:1 @It is actually reported that there is immorality among you, and immorality of such a kind as does not exist even among the Gentiles, that someone has his father's wife.

nasb@1Corinthians:5:2 @You have become arrogant and have not mourned instead, so that the one who had done this deed would be removed from your midst.

nasb@1Corinthians:5:4 @In the name of our Lord Jesus, when you are assembled, and I with you in spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus,

nasb@1Corinthians:5:10 @I did not at all mean with the immoral people of this world, or with the covetous and swindlers, or with idolaters, for then you would have to go out of the world.

nasb@1Corinthians:6:5 @I say this to your shame. Is it so, that there is not among you one wise man who will be able to decide between his brethren,

nasb@1Corinthians:6:11 @Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.

nasb@1Corinthians:6:12 @All things are lawful for me, but not all things are profitable. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be mastered by anything.

nasb@1Corinthians:6:15 @Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take away the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? May it never be!

nasb@1Corinthians:6:16 @Or do you not know that the one who joins himself to a prostitute is one body with her? For He says, " THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH."

nasb@1Corinthians:7:5 @Stop depriving one another, except by agreement for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer, and come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:7 @Yet I wish that all men were even as I myself am. However, each man has his own gift from God, one in this manner, and another in that.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:18 @Was any man called when he was already circumcised? He is not to become uncircumcised. Has anyone been called in uncircumcision? He is not to be circumcised.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:19 @Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but what matters is the keeping of the commandments of God.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:21 @Were you called while a slave? Do not worry about it; but if you are able also to become free, rather do that.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:23 @You were bought with a price; do not become slaves of men.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:25 @Now concerning virgins I have no command of the Lord, but I give an opinion as one who by the mercy of the Lord is trustworthy.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:29 @But this I say, brethren, the time has been shortened, so that from now on those who have wives should be as though they had none;

nasb@1Corinthians:8:7 @However not all men have this knowledge; but some, being accustomed to the idol until now, eat food as if it were sacrificed to an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled.

nasb@1Corinthians:8:8 @But food will not commend us to God; we are neither the worse if we do not eat, nor the better if we do eat.

nasb@1Corinthians:8:9 @But take care that this liberty of yours does not somehow become a stumbling block to the weak.

nasb@1Corinthians:8:10 @For if someone sees you, who have knowledge, dining in an idol's temple, will not his conscience, if he is weak, be strengthened to eat things sacrificed to idols?

nasb@1Corinthians:8:13 @Therefore, if food causes my brother to stumble, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause my brother to stumble.

nasb@1Corinthians:9:3 @My defense to those who examine me is this-

nasb@1Corinthians:9:7 @Who at any time serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat the fruit of it? Or who tends a flock and does not use the milk of the flock?

nasb@1Corinthians:9:8 @I am not speaking these things according to human judgment, am I? Or does not the Law also say these things?

nasb@1Corinthians:9:15 @But I have used none of these things. And I am not writing these things so that it will be done so in my case; for it would be better for me to die than have any man make my boast an empty one.

nasb@1Corinthians:9:16 @For if I preach the gospel, I have nothing to boast of, for I am under compulsion; for woe is me if I do not preach the gospel.

nasb@1Corinthians:9:17 @For if I do this voluntarily, I have a reward; but if against my will, I have a stewardship entrusted to me.

nasb@1Corinthians:9:19 @For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a slave to all, so that I may win more.

nasb@1Corinthians:9:20 @To the Jews I became as a Jew, so that I might win Jews; to those who are under the Law, as under the Law though not being myself under the Law, so that I might win those who are under the Law;

nasb@1Corinthians:9:22 @To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak; I have become all things to all men, so that I may by all means save some.

nasb@1Corinthians:9:23 @I do all things for the sake of the gospel, so that I may become a fellow partaker of it.

nasb@1Corinthians:9:25 @Everyone who competes in the games exercises self-control in all things. They then do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable.

nasb@1Corinthians:10:3 @and all ate the same spiritual food;

nasb@1Corinthians:10:4 @and all drank the same spiritual drink, for they were drinking from a spiritual rock which followed them; and the rock was Christ.

nasb@1Corinthians:10:7 @Do not be idolaters, as some of them were; as it is written, " THE PEOPLE SAT DOWN TO EAT AND DRINK, AND STOOD UP TO PLAY."

nasb@1Corinthians:10:8 @Nor let us act immorally, as some of them did, and twenty-three thousand fell in one day.

nasb@1Corinthians:10:9 @Nor let us try the Lord, as some of them did, and were destroyed by the serpents.

nasb@1Corinthians:10:10 @Nor grumble, as some of them did, and were destroyed by the destroyer.

nasb@1Corinthians:10:11 @Now these things happened to them as an example, and they were written for our instruction, upon whom the ends of the ages have come.

nasb@1Corinthians:10:15 @I speak as to wise men; you judge what I say.

nasb@1Corinthians:10:19 @What do I mean then? That a thing sacrificed to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything?

nasb@1Corinthians:10:20 @No, but I say that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons and not to God; and I do not want you to become sharers in demons.

nasb@1Corinthians:10:25 @Eat anything that is sold in the meat market without asking questions for conscience' sake;

nasb@1Corinthians:10:28 @But if anyone says to you, "This is meat sacrificed to idols," do not eat it, for the sake of the one who informed you, and for conscience' sake;

nasb@1Corinthians:10:29 @I mean not your own conscience, but the other man's; for why is my freedom judged by another's conscience?

nasb@1Corinthians:10:33 @just as I also please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit but the profit of the many, so that they may be saved.

nasb@1Corinthians:11:1 @Be imitators of me, just as I also am of Christ.

nasb@1Corinthians:11:2 @Now I praise you because you remember me in everything and hold firmly to the traditions, just as I delivered them to you.

nasb@1Corinthians:11:4 @Every man who has something on his head while praying or prophesying disgraces his head.

nasb@1Corinthians:11:5 @But every woman who has her head uncovered while praying or prophesying disgraces her head, for she is one and the same as the woman whose head is shaved.

nasb@1Corinthians:11:17 @But in giving this instruction, I do not praise you, because you come together not for the better but for the worse.

nasb@1Corinthians:11:18 @For, in the first place, when you come together as a church, I hear that divisions exist among you; and in part I believe it.

nasb@1Corinthians:11:19 @For there must also be factions among you, so that those who are approved may become evident among you.

nasb@1Corinthians:11:20 @Therefore when you meet together, it is not to eat the Lord's Supper,

nasb@1Corinthians:11:22 @What! Do you not have houses in which to eat and drink? Or do you despise the church of God and shame those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you? In this I will not praise you.

nasb@1Corinthians:11:24 @and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, "This is My body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me."

nasb@1Corinthians:11:25 @In the same way He took the cup also after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me."

nasb@1Corinthians:11:26 @For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until He comes.

nasb@1Corinthians:11:29 @For he who eats and drinks, eats and drinks judgment to himself if he does not judge the body rightly.

nasb@1Corinthians:11:33 @So then, my brethren, when you come together to eat, wait for one another.

nasb@1Corinthians:11:34 @If anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, so that you will not come together for judgment. The remaining matters I will arrange when I come.

nasb@1Corinthians:12:4 @Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit.

nasb@1Corinthians:12:5 @And there are varieties of ministries, and the same Lord.

nasb@1Corinthians:12:6 @There are varieties of effects, but the same God who works all things in all persons.

nasb@1Corinthians:12:8 @For to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit;

nasb@1Corinthians:12:9 @to another faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit,

nasb@1Corinthians:12:11 @But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually just as He wills.

nasb@1Corinthians:12:12 @For even as the body is one and yet has many members, and all the members of the body, though they are many, are one body, so also is Christ.

nasb@1Corinthians:12:14 @For the body is not one member, but many.

nasb@1Corinthians:12:17 @If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole were hearing, where would the sense of smell be?

nasb@1Corinthians:12:18 @But now God has placed the members, each one of them, in the body, just as He desired.

nasb@1Corinthians:12:19 @If they were all one member, where would the body be?

nasb@1Corinthians:12:20 @But now there are many members, but one body.

nasb@1Corinthians:12:22 @On the contrary, it is much truer that the members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary;

nasb@1Corinthians:12:23 @and those members of the body which we deem less honorable, on these we bestow more abundant honor, and our less presentable members become much more presentable,

nasb@1Corinthians:12:24 @whereas our more presentable members have no need of it. But God has so composed the body, giving more abundant honor to that member which lacked,

nasb@1Corinthians:12:25 @so that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another.

nasb@1Corinthians:12:26 @And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.

nasb@1Corinthians:12:27 @Now you are Christ's body, and individually members of it.

nasb@1Corinthians:13:1 @If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.

nasb@1Corinthians:13:3 @And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned, but do not have love, it profits me nothing.

nasb@1Corinthians:13:10 @but when the perfect comes, the partial will be done away.

nasb@1Corinthians:13:11 @When I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, reason like a child; when I became a man, I did away with childish things.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:2 @For one who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God; for no one understands, but in his spirit he speaks mysteries.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:3 @But one who prophesies speaks to men for edification and exhortation and consolation.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:6 @But now, brethren, if I come to you speaking in tongues, what will I profit you unless I speak to you either by way of revelation or of knowledge or of prophecy or of teaching?

nasb@1Corinthians:14:10 @There are, perhaps, a great many kinds of languages in the world, and no kind is without meaning.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:11 @If then I do not know the meaning of the language, I will be to the one who speaks a barbarian, and the one who speaks will be a barbarian to me.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:15 @What is the outcome then? I will pray with the spirit and I will pray with the mind also; I will sing with the spirit and I will sing with the mind also.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:16 @Otherwise if you bless in the spirit only, how will the one who fills the place of the ungifted say the "Amen" at your giving of thanks, since he does not know what you are saying?

nasb@1Corinthians:14:21 @In the Law it is written, " BY MEN OF STRANGE TONGUES AND BY THE LIPS OF STRANGERS I WILL SPEAK TO THIS PEOPLE, AND EVEN SO THEY WILL NOT LISTEN TO ME," says the Lord.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:23 @Therefore if the whole church assembles together and all speak in tongues, and ungifted men or unbelievers enter, will they not say that you are mad?

nasb@1Corinthians:14:26 @What is the outcome 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 edification.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:29 @Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others pass judgment.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:34 @The women are to keep silent in the churches; for they are not permitted to speak, but are to subject themselves, just as the Law also says.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:35 @If they desire to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is improper for a woman to speak in church.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:36 @Was it from you that the word of God first went forth? Or has it come to you only?

nasb@1Corinthians:14:37 @If anyone thinks he is a prophet or spiritual, let him recognize that the things which I write to you are the Lord's commandment.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:6 @After that He appeared to more than five hundred brethren at one time, most of whom remain until now, but some have fallen asleep;

nasb@1Corinthians:15:7 @then He appeared to James, then to all the apostles;

nasb@1Corinthians:15:8 @and last of all, as to one untimely born, He appeared to me also.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:10 @But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me did not prove vain; but I labored even more than all of them, yet not I, but the grace of God with me.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:12 @Now if Christ is preached, that He has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?

nasb@1Corinthians:15:19 @If we have hoped in Christ in this life only, we are of all men most to be pitied.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:21 @For since by a man came death, by a man also came the resurrection of the dead.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:24 @then comes the end, when He hands over the kingdom to the God and Father, when He has abolished all rule and all authority and power.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:32 @If from human motives I fought with wild beasts at Ephesus, what does it profit me? If the dead are not raised, LET US EAT AND DRINK, FOR TOMORROW WE DIE.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:34 @Become sober-minded as you ought, and stop sinning; for some have no knowledge of God. I speak this to your shame.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:35 @But someone will say, "How are the dead raised? And with what kind of body do they come?"

nasb@1Corinthians:15:36 @You fool! That which you sow does not come to life unless it dies;

nasb@1Corinthians:15:37 @and that which you sow, you do not sow the body which is to be, but a bare grain, perhaps of wheat or of something else.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:39 @All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one flesh of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another flesh of birds, and another of fish.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:45 @So also it is written, "The first MAN, Adam, BECAME A LIVING SOUL." The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:52 @in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:54 @But when this perishable will have put on the imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then will come about the saying that is written, " DEATH IS SWALLOWED UP in victory.

nasb@1Corinthians:16:2 @On the first day of every week each one of you is to put aside and save, as he may prosper, so that no collections be made when I come.

nasb@1Corinthians:16:3 @When I arrive, whomever you may approve, I will send them with letters to carry your gift to Jerusalem;

nasb@1Corinthians:16:4 @and if it is fitting for me to go also, they will go with me.

nasb@1Corinthians:16:5 @But I will come to you after I go through Macedonia, for I am going through Macedonia;

nasb@1Corinthians:16:6 @and perhaps I will stay with you, or even spend the winter, so that you may send me on my way wherever I may go.

nasb@1Corinthians:16:7 @For I do not wish to see you now just in passing; for I hope to remain with you for some time, if the Lord permits.

nasb@1Corinthians:16:9 @for a wide door for effective service has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.

nasb@1Corinthians:16:10 @Now if Timothy comes, see that he is with you without cause to be afraid, for he is doing the Lord's work, as I also am.

nasb@1Corinthians:16:11 @So let no one despise him. But send him on his way in peace, so that he may come to me; for I expect him with the brethren.

nasb@1Corinthians:16:12 @But concerning Apollos our brother, I encouraged him greatly to come to you with the brethren; and it was not at all his desire to come now, but he will come when he has opportunity.

nasb@1Corinthians:16:13 @Be on the alert, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.

nasb@1Corinthians:16:16 @that you also be in subjection to such men and to everyone who helps in the work and labors.

nasb@1Corinthians:16:18 @For they have refreshed my spirit and yours. Therefore acknowledge such men.

nasb@1Corinthians:16:24 @My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.

nasb@2Corinthians:1:3 @Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,

nasb@2Corinthians:1:6 @But if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; or if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which is effective in the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer;

nasb@2Corinthians:1:8 @For we do not want you to be unaware, brethren, of our affliction which came to us in Asia, that we were burdened excessively, beyond our strength, so that we despaired even of life;

nasb@2Corinthians:1:15 @In this confidence I intended at first to come to you, so that you might twice receive a blessing;

nasb@2Corinthians:1:16 @that is, to pass your way into Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come to you, and by you to be helped on my journey to Judea.

nasb@2Corinthians:1:17 @Therefore, I was not vacillating when I intended to do this, was I? Or what I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, so that with me there will be yes, yes and no, no at the same time?

nasb@2Corinthians:1:19 @For the Son of God, Christ Jesus, who was preached among you by us--by me and Silvanus and Timothy--was not yes and no, but is yes in Him.

nasb@2Corinthians:1:20 @For as many as are the promises of God, in Him they are yes; therefore also through Him is our Amen to the glory of God through us.

nasb@2Corinthians:1:23 @But I call God as witness to my soul, that to spare you I did not come again to Corinth.

nasb@2Corinthians:2:1 @But I determined this for my own sake, that I would not come to you in sorrow again.

nasb@2Corinthians:2:2 @For if I cause you sorrow, who then makes me glad but the one whom I made sorrowful?

nasb@2Corinthians:2:3 @This is the very thing I wrote you, so that when I came, I would not have sorrow from those who ought to make me rejoice; having confidence in you all that my joy would be the joy of you all.

nasb@2Corinthians:2:5 @But if any has caused sorrow, he has caused sorrow not to me, but in some degree--in order not to say too much--to all of you.

nasb@2Corinthians:2:6 @Sufficient for such a one is this punishment which was inflicted by the majority,

nasb@2Corinthians:2:7 @so that on the contrary you should rather forgive and comfort him, otherwise such a one might be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow.

nasb@2Corinthians:2:11 @so that no advantage would be taken of us by Satan, for we are not ignorant of his schemes.

nasb@2Corinthians:2:12 @Now when I came to Troas for the gospel of Christ and when a door was opened for me in the Lord,

nasb@2Corinthians:3:1 @Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or do we need, as some, letters of commendation to you or from you?

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

nasb@2Corinthians:3:7 @But if the ministry of death, in letters engraved on stones, came with glory, so that the sons of Israel could not look intently at the face of Moses because of the glory of his face, fading as it was,

nasb@2Corinthians:3:14 @But their minds were hardened; for until this very day at the reading of the old covenant the same veil remains unlifted, because it is removed in Christ.

nasb@2Corinthians:3:18 @But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit.

nasb@2Corinthians:4:1 @Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we received mercy, we do not lose heart,

nasb@2Corinthians:4:2 @but we have renounced the things hidden because of shame, not walking in craftiness or adulterating the word of God, but by the manifestation of truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.

nasb@2Corinthians:4:13 @But having the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, " I BELIEVED, THEREFORE I SPOKE," we also believe, therefore we also speak,

nasb@2Corinthians:4:17 @For momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison,

nasb@2Corinthians:5:6 @Therefore, being always of good courage, and knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord--

nasb@2Corinthians:5:8 @we are of good courage, I say, and prefer rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord.

nasb@2Corinthians:5:9 @Therefore we also have as our ambition, whether at home or absent, to be pleasing to Him.

nasb@2Corinthians:5:10 @For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may be recompensed for his deeds in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.

nasb@2Corinthians:5:11 @Therefore, knowing the fear of the Lord, we persuade men, but we are made manifest to God; and I hope that we are made manifest also in your consciences.

nasb@2Corinthians:5:12 @We are not again commending ourselves to you but are giving you an occasion to be proud of us, so that you will have an answer for those who take pride in appearance and not in heart.

nasb@2Corinthians:5:17 @Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.

nasb@2Corinthians:5:19 @namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation.

nasb@2Corinthians:5:21 @He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

nasb@2Corinthians:6:2 @for He says, " AT THE ACCEPTABLE TIME I LISTENED TO YOU, AND ON THE DAY OF SALVATION I HELPED YOU." Behold, now is "THE ACCEPTABLE TIME," behold, now is "THE DAY OF SALVATION"--

nasb@2Corinthians:6:4 @but in everything commending ourselves as servants of God, in much endurance, in afflictions, in hardships, in distresses,

nasb@2Corinthians:6:5 @in beatings, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labors, in sleeplessness, in hunger,

nasb@2Corinthians:6:16 @Or what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; just as God said, " I WILL DWELL IN THEM AND WALK AMONG THEM; AND I WILL BE THEIR GOD, AND THEY SHALL BE MY PEOPLE.

nasb@2Corinthians:6:17" @ Therefore, COME OUT FROM THEIR MIDST AND BE SEPARATE," says the Lord. "AND DO NOT TOUCH WHAT IS UNCLEAN; And I will welcome you.

nasb@2Corinthians:6:18" @ And I will be a father to you, And you shall be sons and daughters to Me," Says the Lord Almighty.

nasb@2Corinthians:7:1 @Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

nasb@2Corinthians:7:5 @For even when we came into Macedonia our flesh had no rest, but we were afflicted on every side- conflicts without, fears within.

nasb@2Corinthians:7:7 @and not only by his coming, but also by the comfort with which he was comforted in you, as he reported to us your longing, your mourning, your zeal for me; so that I rejoiced even more.

nasb@2Corinthians:7:14 @For if in anything I have boasted to him about you, I was not put to shame; but as we spoke all things to you in truth, so also our boasting before Titus proved to be the truth.

nasb@2Corinthians:7:15 @His affection abounds all the more toward you, as he remembers the obedience of you all, how you received him with fear and trembling.

nasb@2Corinthians:8:9 @For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sake He became poor, so that you through His poverty might become rich.

nasb@2Corinthians:8:14 @at this present time your abundance being a supply for their need, so that their abundance also may become a supply for your need, that there may be equality;

nasb@2Corinthians:8:16 @But thanks be to God who puts the same earnestness on your behalf in the heart of Titus.

nasb@2Corinthians:8:18 @We have sent along with him the brother whose fame in the things of the gospel has spread through all the churches;

nasb@2Corinthians:8:21 @for we have regard for what is honorable, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.

nasb@2Corinthians:8:23 @As for Titus, he is my partner and fellow worker among you; as for our brethren, they are messengers of the churches, a glory to Christ.

nasb@2Corinthians:9:1 @For it is superfluous for me to write to you about this ministry to the saints;

nasb@2Corinthians:9:2 @for I know your readiness, of which I boast about you to the Macedonians, namely, that Achaia has been prepared since last year, and your zeal has stirred up most of them.

nasb@2Corinthians:9:4 @otherwise if any Macedonians come with me and find you unprepared, we--not to speak of you--will be put to shame by this confidence.

nasb@2Corinthians:9:5 @So I thought it necessary to urge the brethren that they would go on ahead to you and arrange beforehand your previously promised bountiful gift, so that the same would be ready as a bountiful gift and not affected by covetousness.

nasb@2Corinthians:10:1 @Now I, Paul, myself urge you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ--I who am meek when face to face with you, but bold toward you when absent!

nasb@2Corinthians:10:2 @I ask that when I am present I need not be bold with the confidence with which I propose to be courageous against some, who regard us as if we walked according to the flesh.

nasb@2Corinthians:10:8 @For even if I boast somewhat further about our authority, which the Lord gave for building you up and not for destroying you, I will not be put to shame,

nasb@2Corinthians:10:12 @For we are not bold to class or compare ourselves with some of those who commend themselves; but when they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they are without understanding.

nasb@2Corinthians:10:13 @But we will not boast beyond our measure, but within the measure of the sphere which God apportioned to us as a measure, to reach even as far as you.

nasb@2Corinthians:10:14 @For we are not overextending ourselves, as if we did not reach to you, for we were the first to come even as far as you in the gospel of Christ;

nasb@2Corinthians:10:15 @not boasting beyond our measure, that is, in other men's labors, but with the hope that as your faith grows, we will be, within our sphere, enlarged even more by you,

nasb@2Corinthians:10:18 @For it is not he who commends himself that is approved, but he whom the Lord commends.

nasb@2Corinthians:11:1 @I wish that you would bear with me in a little foolishness; but indeed you are bearing with me.

nasb@2Corinthians:11:4 @For if one comes and preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted, you bear this beautifully.

nasb@2Corinthians:11:9 @and when I was present with you and was in need, I was not a burden to anyone; for when the brethren came from Macedonia they fully supplied my need, and in everything I kept myself from being a burden to you, and will continue to do so.

nasb@2Corinthians:11:10 @As the truth of Christ is in me, this boasting of mine will not be stopped in the regions of Achaia.

nasb@2Corinthians:11:13 @For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ.

nasb@2Corinthians:11:16 @Again I say, let no one think me foolish; but if you do, receive me even as foolish, so that I also may boast a little.

nasb@2Corinthians:11:21 @To my shame I must say that we have been weak by comparison. But in whatever respect anyone else is bold--I speak in foolishness--I am just as bold myself.

nasb@2Corinthians:11:23 @Are they servants of Christ?--I speak as if insane--I more so; in far more labors, in far more imprisonments, beaten times without number, often in danger of death.

nasb@2Corinthians:11:24 @Five times I received from the Jews thirty-nine lashes.

nasb@2Corinthians:11:25 @Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, three times I was shipwrecked, a night and a day I have spent in the deep.

nasb@2Corinthians:11:26 @I have been on frequent journeys, in dangers from rivers, dangers from robbers, dangers from my countrymen, dangers from the Gentiles, dangers in the city, dangers in the wilderness, dangers on the sea, dangers among false brethren;

nasb@2Corinthians:11:28 @Apart from such external things, there is the daily pressure on me of concern for all the churches.

nasb@2Corinthians:11:32 @In Damascus the ethnarch under Aretas the king was guarding the city of the Damascenes in order to seize me,

nasb@2Corinthians:12:6 @For if I do wish to boast I will not be foolish, for I will be speaking the truth; but I refrain from this, so that no one will credit me with more than he sees in me or hears from me.

nasb@2Corinthians:12:7 @Because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, for this reason, to keep me from exalting myself, there was given me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to torment me--to keep me from exalting myself!

nasb@2Corinthians:12:8 @Concerning this I implored the Lord three times that it might leave me.

nasb@2Corinthians:12:9 @And He has said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness." Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me.

nasb@2Corinthians:12:11 @I have become foolish; you yourselves compelled me. Actually I should have been commended by you, for in no respect was I inferior to the most eminent apostles, even though I am a nobody.

nasb@2Corinthians:12:12 @The signs of a true apostle were performed among you with all perseverance, by signs and wonders and miracles.

nasb@2Corinthians:12:13 @For in what respect were you treated as inferior to the rest of the churches, except that I myself did not become a burden to you? Forgive me this wrong!

nasb@2Corinthians:12:14 @Here for this third time I am ready to come to you, and I will not be a burden to you; for I do not seek what is yours, but you; for children are not responsible to save up for their parents, but parents for their children.

nasb@2Corinthians:12:18 @I urged Titus to go, and I sent the brother with him. Titus did not take any advantage of you, did he? Did we not conduct ourselves in the same spirit and walk in the same steps?

nasb@2Corinthians:12:19 @All this time you have been thinking that we are defending ourselves to you. Actually, it is in the sight of God that we have been speaking in Christ; and all for your upbuilding, beloved.

nasb@2Corinthians:12:20 @For I am afraid that perhaps when I come I may find you to be not what I wish and may be found by you to be not what you wish; that perhaps there will be strife, jealousy, angry tempers, disputes, slanders, gossip, arrogance, disturbances;

nasb@2Corinthians:12:21 @I am afraid that when I come again my God may humiliate me before you, and I may mourn over many of those who have sinned in the past and not repented of the impurity, immorality and sensuality which they have practiced.

nasb@2Corinthians:13:1 @This is the third time I am coming to you. EVERY FACT IS TO BE CONFIRMED BY THE TESTIMONY OF TWO OR THREE WITNESSES.

nasb@2Corinthians:13:2 @I have previously said when present the second time, and though now absent I say in advance to those who have sinned in the past and to all the rest as well, that if I come again I will not spare anyone,

nasb@2Corinthians:13:3 @since you are seeking for proof of the Christ who speaks in me, and who is not weak toward you, but mighty in you.

nasb@2Corinthians:13:10 @For this reason I am writing these things while absent, so that when present I need not use severity, in accordance with the authority which the Lord gave me for building up and not for tearing down.

nasb@Galatians:1:1 @Paul, an apostle ( not sent from men nor through the agency of man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised Him from the dead),

nasb@Galatians:1:2 @and all the brethren who are with me, To the churches of Galatia-

nasb@Galatians:1:5 @to whom be the glory forevermore. Amen.

nasb@Galatians:1:7 @which is really not another; only there are some who are disturbing you and want to distort the gospel of Christ.

nasb@Galatians:1:10 @For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a bond-servant of Christ.

nasb@Galatians:1:11 @For I would have you know, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man.

nasb@Galatians:1:13 @For you have heard of my former manner of life in Judaism, how I used to persecute the church of God beyond measure and tried to destroy it;

nasb@Galatians:1:14 @and I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries among my countrymen, being more extremely zealous for my ancestral traditions.

nasb@Galatians:1:15 @But when God, who had set me apart even from my mother's womb and called me through His grace, was pleased

nasb@Galatians:1:16 @to reveal His Son in me so that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately consult with flesh and blood,

nasb@Galatians:1:17 @nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me; but I went away to Arabia, and returned once more to Damascus.

nasb@Galatians:1:18 @Then three years later I went up to Jerusalem to become acquainted with Cephas, and stayed with him fifteen days.

nasb@Galatians:1:19 @But I did not see any other of the apostles except James, the Lord's brother.

nasb@Galatians:1:24 @And they were glorifying God because of me.

nasb@Galatians:2:3 @But not even Titus, who was with me, though he was a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised.

nasb@Galatians:2:6 @But from those who were of high reputation (what they were makes no difference to me; God shows no partiality)--well, those who were of reputation contributed nothing to me.

nasb@Galatians:2:8 @(for He who effectually worked for Peter in his apostleship to the circumcised effectually worked for me also to the Gentiles),

nasb@Galatians:2:9 @and recognizing the grace that had been given to me, James and Cephas and John, who were reputed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, so that we might go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised.

nasb@Galatians:2:10 @They only asked us to remember the poor-- the very thing I also was eager to do.

nasb@Galatians:2:11 @But when Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned.

nasb@Galatians:2:12 @For prior to the coming of certain men from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles; but when they came, he began to withdraw and hold himself aloof, fearing the party of the circumcision.

nasb@Galatians:2:20" @I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.

nasb@Galatians:2:21" @I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness comes through the Law, then Christ died needlessly."

nasb@Galatians:3:13 @Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us--for it is written, " CURSED IS EVERYONE WHO HANGS ON A TREE"--

nasb@Galatians:3:14 @in order that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we would receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

nasb@Galatians:3:17 @What I am saying is this- the Law, which came four hundred and thirty years later, does not invalidate a covenant previously ratified by God, so as to nullify the promise.

nasb@Galatians:3:18 @For if the inheritance is based on law, it is no longer based on a promise; but God has granted it to Abraham by means of a promise.

nasb@Galatians:3:19 @Why the Law then? It was added because of transgressions, having been ordained through angels by the agency of a mediator, until the seed would come to whom the promise had been made.

nasb@Galatians:3:20 @Now a mediator is not for one party only; whereas God is only one.

nasb@Galatians:3:23 @But before faith came, we were kept in custody under the law, being shut up to the faith which was later to be revealed.

nasb@Galatians:3:24 @Therefore the Law has become our tutor to lead us to Christ, so that we may be justified by faith.

nasb@Galatians:3:25 @But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.

nasb@Galatians:4:3 @So also we, while we were children, were held in bondage under the elemental things of the world.

nasb@Galatians:4:4 @But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law,

nasb@Galatians:4:8 @However at that time, when you did not know God, you were slaves to those which by nature are no gods.

nasb@Galatians:4:9 @But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how is it that you turn back again to the weak and worthless elemental things, to which you desire to be enslaved all over again?

nasb@Galatians:4:12 @I beg of you, brethren, become as I am, for I also have become as you are. You have done me no wrong;

nasb@Galatians:4:13 @but you know that it was because of a bodily illness that I preached the gospel to you the first time;

nasb@Galatians:4:14 @and that which was a trial to you in my bodily condition you did not despise or loathe, but you received me as an angel of God, as Christ Jesus Himself.

nasb@Galatians:4:15 @Where then is that sense of blessing you had? For I bear you witness that, if possible, you would have plucked out your eyes and given them to me.

nasb@Galatians:4:16 @So have I become your enemy by telling you the truth?

nasb@Galatians:4:17 @They eagerly seek you, not commendably, but they wish to shut you out so that you will seek them.

nasb@Galatians:4:18 @But it is good always to be eagerly sought in a commendable manner, and not only when I am present with you.

nasb@Galatians:4:19 @My children, with whom I am again in labor until Christ is formed in you--

nasb@Galatians:4:21 @Tell me, you who want to be under law, do you not listen to the law?

nasb@Galatians:4:24 @This is allegorically speaking, for these women are two covenants- one proceeding from Mount Sinai bearing children who are to be slaves; she is Hagar.

nasb@Galatians:4:27 @For it is written, " REJOICE, BARREN WOMAN WHO DOES NOT BEAR; FORTH AND SHOUT, YOU WHO ARE NOT IN LABOR; FOR MORE NUMEROUS ARE THE CHILDREN OF THE DESOLATE THAN OF THE ONE WHO HAS A HUSBAND."

nasb@Galatians:4:29 @But as at that time he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so it is now also.

nasb@Galatians:5:6 @For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but faith working through love.

nasb@Galatians:5:8 @This persuasion did not come from Him who calls you.

nasb@Galatians:5:10 @I have confidence in you in the Lord that you will adopt no other view; but the one who is disturbing you will bear his judgment, whoever he is.

nasb@Galatians:5:14 @For the whole Law is fulfilled in one word, in the statement, " YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF."

nasb@Galatians:5:15 @But if you bite and devour one another, take care that you are not consumed by one another.

nasb@Galatians:5:26 @Let us not become boastful, challenging one another, envying one another.

nasb@Galatians:6:3 @For if anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

nasb@Galatians:6:9 @Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary.

nasb@Galatians:6:14 @But may it never be that I would boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

nasb@Galatians:6:16 @And those who will walk by this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God.

nasb@Galatians:6:17 @From now on let no one cause trouble for me, for I bear on my body the brand-marks of Jesus.

nasb@Galatians:6:18 @The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brethren. Amen.

nasb@Ephesians:1:4 @just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him. In love

nasb@Ephesians:1:10 @with a view to an administration suitable to the fullness of the times, that is, the summing up of all things in Christ, things in the heavens and things on the earth. In Him

nasb@Ephesians:1:13 @In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation--having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise,

nasb@Ephesians:1:16 @do not cease giving thanks for you, while making mention of you in my prayers;

nasb@Ephesians:1:21 @far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come.

nasb@Ephesians:2:2 @in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience.

nasb@Ephesians:2:3 @Among them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest.

nasb@Ephesians:2:4 @But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us,

nasb@Ephesians:2:7 @so that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

nasb@Ephesians:2:11 @Therefore remember that formerly you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called " Uncircumcision" by the so-called " Circumcision," which is performed in the flesh by human hands--

nasb@Ephesians:2:12 @remember that you were at that time separate from Christ, excluded from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world.

nasb@Ephesians:2:13 @But now in Christ Jesus you who formerly were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.

nasb@Ephesians:2:15 @by abolishing in His flesh the enmity, which is the Law of commandments contained in ordinances, so that in Himself He might make the two into one new man, thus establishing peace,

nasb@Ephesians:2:17 @AND HE CAME AND PREACHED PEACE TO YOU WHO WERE FAR AWAY, AND PEACE TO THOSE WHO WERE NEAR;

nasb@Ephesians:3:2 @if indeed you have heard of the stewardship of God's grace which was given to me for you;

nasb@Ephesians:3:3 @that by revelation there was made known to me the mystery, as I wrote before in brief.

nasb@Ephesians:3:5 @which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed to His holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit;

nasb@Ephesians:3:6 @to be specific, that the Gentiles are fellow heirs and fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel,

nasb@Ephesians:3:7 @of which I was made a minister, according to the gift of God's grace which was given to me according to the working of His power.

nasb@Ephesians:3:8 @To me, the very least of all saints, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unfathomable riches of Christ,

nasb@Ephesians:3:15 @from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name,

nasb@Ephesians:3:21 @to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.

nasb@Ephesians:4:7 @But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ's gift.

nasb@Ephesians:4:8 @Therefore it says, " WHEN HE ASCENDED ON HIGH, HE LED CAPTIVE A HOST OF CAPTIVES, AND HE GAVE GIFTS TO MEN."

nasb@Ephesians:4:9 @(Now this expression, "He ascended," what does it mean except that He also had descended into the lower parts of the earth?

nasb@Ephesians:4:11 @And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers,

nasb@Ephesians:4:13 @until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ.

nasb@Ephesians:4:14 @As a result, we are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming;

nasb@Ephesians:4:19 @and they, having become callous, have given themselves over to sensuality for the practice of every kind of impurity with greediness.

nasb@Ephesians:4:22 @that, in reference to your former manner of life, you lay aside the old self, which is being corrupted in accordance with the lusts of deceit,

nasb@Ephesians:4:25 @Therefore, laying aside falsehood, SPEAK TRUTH EACH ONE of you WITH HIS NEIGHBOR, for we are members of one another.

nasb@Ephesians:4:28 @He who steals must steal no longer; but rather he must labor, performing with his own hands what is good, so that he will have something to share with one who has need.

nasb@Ephesians:4:29 @Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification according to the need of the moment, so that it will give grace to those who hear.

nasb@Ephesians:5:3 @But immorality or any impurity or greed must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints;

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

nasb@Ephesians:5:8 @for you were formerly darkness, but now you are Light in the Lord; walk as children of Light

nasb@Ephesians:5:13 @But all things become visible when they are exposed by the light, for everything that becomes visible is light.

nasb@Ephesians:5:15 @Therefore be careful how you walk, not as unwise men but as wise,

nasb@Ephesians:5:16 @making the most of your time, because the days are evil.

nasb@Ephesians:5:19 @speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord;

nasb@Ephesians:5:20 @always giving thanks for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father;

nasb@Ephesians:5:27 @that He might present to Himself the church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy and blameless.

nasb@Ephesians:5:30 @because we are members of His body.

nasb@Ephesians:5:31 @FOR THIS REASON A MAN SHALL LEAVE HIS FATHER AND MOTHER AND SHALL BE JOINED TO HIS WIFE, AND THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH.

nasb@Ephesians:6:2 @HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER (which is the first commandment with a promise),

nasb@Ephesians:6:6 @not by way of eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart.

nasb@Ephesians:6:7 @With good will render service, as to the Lord, and not to men,

nasb@Ephesians:6:9 @And masters, do the same things to them, and give up threatening, knowing that both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no partiality with Him.

nasb@Ephesians:6:11 @Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil.

nasb@Ephesians:6:17 @And take THE HELMET OF SALVATION, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

nasb@Ephesians:6:18 @With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints,

nasb@Ephesians:6:19 @and pray on my behalf, that utterance may be given to me in the opening of my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel,

nasb@Philippians:1:3 @I thank my God in all my remembrance of you,

nasb@Philippians:1:7 @For it is only right for me to feel this way about you all, because I have you in my heart, since both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers of grace with me.

nasb@Philippians:1:9 @And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in real knowledge and all discernment,

nasb@Philippians:1:10 @so that you may approve the things that are excellent, in order to be sincere and blameless until the day of Christ;

nasb@Philippians:1:11 @having been filled with the fruit of righteousness which comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

nasb@Philippians:1:13 @so that my imprisonment in the cause of Christ has become well known throughout the whole praetorian guard and to everyone else,

nasb@Philippians:1:14 @and that most of the brethren, trusting in the Lord because of my imprisonment, have far more courage to speak the word of God without fear.

nasb@Philippians:1:15 @Some, to be sure, are preaching Christ even from envy and strife, but some also from good will;

nasb@Philippians:1:17 @the former proclaim Christ out of selfish ambition rather than from pure motives, thinking to cause me distress in my imprisonment.

nasb@Philippians:1:18 @What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed; and in this I rejoice. Yes, and I will rejoice,

nasb@Philippians:1:20 @according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I will not be put to shame in anything, but that with all boldness, Christ will even now, as always, be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death.

nasb@Philippians:1:21 @For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.

nasb@Philippians:1:22 @But if I am to live on in the flesh, this will mean fruitful labor for me; and I do not know which to choose.

nasb@Philippians:1:26 @so that your proud confidence in me may abound in Christ Jesus through my coming to you again.

nasb@Philippians:1:27 @Only conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or remain absent, I will hear of you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;

nasb@Philippians:1:28 @in no way alarmed by your opponents--which is a sign of destruction for them, but of salvation for you, and that too, from God.

nasb@Philippians:1:30 @experiencing the same conflict which you saw in me, and now hear to be in me.

nasb@Philippians:2:1 @Therefore if there is any encouragement in Christ, if there is any consolation of love, if there is any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and compassion,

nasb@Philippians:2:2 @make my joy complete by being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose.

nasb@Philippians:2:4 @do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others.

nasb@Philippians:2:7 @but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men.

nasb@Philippians:2:9 @For this reason also, God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name,

nasb@Philippians:2:10 @so that at the name of Jesus EVERY KNEE WILL BOW, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

nasb@Philippians:2:15 @so that you will prove yourselves to be blameless and innocent, children of God above reproach in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you appear as lights in the world,

nasb@Philippians:2:18 @You too, I urge you, rejoice in the same way and share your joy with me.

nasb@Philippians:2:22 @But you know of his proven worth, that he served with me in the furtherance of the gospel like a child serving his father.

nasb@Philippians:2:23 @Therefore I hope to send him immediately, as soon as I see how things go with me;

nasb@Philippians:2:25 @But I thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and fellow worker and fellow soldier, who is also your messenger and minister to my need;

nasb@Philippians:2:27 @For indeed he was sick to the point of death, but God had mercy on him, and not on him only but also on me, so that I would not have sorrow upon sorrow.

nasb@Philippians:2:29 @Receive him then in the Lord with all joy, and hold men like him in high regard;

nasb@Philippians:2:30 @because he came close to death for the work of Christ, risking his life to complete what was deficient in your service to me.

nasb@Philippians:3:1 @Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things again is no trouble to me, and it is a safeguard for you.

nasb@Philippians:3:6 @as to zeal, a persecutor of the church; as to the righteousness which is in the Law, found blameless.

nasb@Philippians:3:7 @But whatever things were gain to me, those things I have counted as loss for the sake of Christ.

nasb@Philippians:3:9 @and may be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own derived from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith,

nasb@Philippians:3:10 @that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death;

nasb@Philippians:3:12 @Not that I have already obtained it or have already become perfect, but I press on so that I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus.

nasb@Philippians:3:16 @however, let us keep living by that same standard to which we have attained.

nasb@Philippians:3:19 @whose end is destruction, whose god is their appetite, and whose glory is in their shame, who set their minds on earthly things.

nasb@Philippians:4:3 @Indeed, true companion, I ask you also to help these women who have shared my struggle in the cause of the gospel, together with Clement also and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the book of life.

nasb@Philippians:4:5 @Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near.

nasb@Philippians:4:9 @The things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.

nasb@Philippians:4:10 @But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at last you have revived your concern for me; indeed, you were concerned before, but you lacked opportunity.

nasb@Philippians:4:12 @I know how to get along with humble means, and I also know how to live in prosperity; in any and every circumstance I have learned the secret of being filled and going hungry, both of having abundance and suffering need.

nasb@Philippians:4:13 @I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.

nasb@Philippians:4:14 @Nevertheless, you have done well to share with me in my affliction.

nasb@Philippians:4:15 @You yourselves also know, Philippians, that at the first preaching of the gospel, after I left Macedonia, no church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving but you alone;

nasb@Philippians:4:20 @Now to our God and Father be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

nasb@Philippians:4:21 @Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren who are with me greet you.

nasb@Colossians:1:6 @which has come to you, just as in all the world also it is constantly bearing fruit and increasing, even as it has been doing in you also since the day you heard of it and understood the grace of God in truth;

nasb@Colossians:1:8 @and he also informed us of your love in the Spirit.

nasb@Colossians:1:18 @He is also head of the body, the church; and He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that He Himself will come to have first place in everything.

nasb@Colossians:1:21 @And although you were formerly alienated and hostile in mind, engaged in evil deeds,

nasb@Colossians:1:22 @yet He has now reconciled you in His fleshly body through death, in order to present you before Him holy and blameless and beyond reproach--

nasb@Colossians:1:23 @if indeed you continue in the faith firmly established and steadfast, and not moved away from the hope of the gospel that you have heard, which was proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and of which I, Paul, was made a minister.

nasb@Colossians:1:25 @Of this church I was made a minister according to the stewardship from God bestowed on me for your benefit, so that I might fully carry out the preaching of the word of God,

nasb@Colossians:1:29 @For this purpose also I labor, striving according to His power, which mightily works within me.

nasb@Colossians:2:2 @that their hearts may be encouraged, having been knit together in love, and attaining to all the wealth that comes from the full assurance of understanding, resulting in a true knowledge of God's mystery, that is, Christ Himself,

nasb@Colossians:2:4 @I say this so that no one will delude you with persuasive argument.

nasb@Colossians:2:8 @See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Christ.

nasb@Colossians:2:15 @When He had disarmed the rulers and authorities, He made a public display of them, having triumphed over them through Him.

nasb@Colossians:2:17 @things which are a mere shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ.

nasb@Colossians:2:18 @Let no one keep defrauding you of your prize by delighting in self-abasement and the worship of the angels, taking his stand on visions he has seen, inflated without cause by his fleshly mind,

nasb@Colossians:2:19 @and not holding fast to the head, from whom the entire body, being supplied and held together by the joints and ligaments, grows with a growth which is from God.

nasb@Colossians:2:20 @If you have died with Christ to the elementary principles of the world, why, as if you were living in the world, do you submit yourself to decrees, such as,

nasb@Colossians:2:22 @(which all refer to things destined to perish with use)--in accordance with the commandments and teachings of men?

nasb@Colossians:2:23 @These are matters which have, to be sure, the appearance of wisdom in self-made religion and self-abasement and severe treatment of the body, but are of no value against fleshly indulgence.

nasb@Colossians:3:5 @Therefore consider the members of your earthly body as dead to immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed, which amounts to idolatry.

nasb@Colossians:3:6 @For it is because of these things that the wrath of God will come upon the sons of disobedience,

nasb@Colossians:3:17 @Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.

nasb@Colossians:3:22 @Slaves, in all things obey those who are your masters on earth, not with external service, as those who merely please men, but with sincerity of heart, fearing the Lord.

nasb@Colossians:3:23 @Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than for men,

nasb@Colossians:4:3 @praying at the same time for us as well, that God will open up to us a door for the word, so that we may speak forth the mystery of Christ, for which I have also been imprisoned;

nasb@Colossians:4:10 @Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner, sends you his greetings; and also Barnabas's cousin Mark (about whom you received instructions; if he comes to you, welcome him);

nasb@Colossians:4:11 @and also Jesus who is called Justus; these are the only fellow workers for the kingdom of God who are from the circumcision, and they have proved to be an encouragement to me.

nasb@Colossians:4:18 @I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand. Remember my imprisonment. Grace be with you.

nasb@1Thessalonians:1:2 @We give thanks to God always for all of you, making mention of you in our prayers;

nasb@1Thessalonians:1:5 @for our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with full conviction; just as you know what kind of men we proved to be among you for your sake.

nasb@1Thessalonians:1:6 @You also became imitators of us and of the Lord, having received the word in much tribulation with the joy of the Holy Spirit,

nasb@1Thessalonians:1:7 @so that you became an example to all the believers in Macedonia and in Achaia.

nasb@1Thessalonians:1:10 @and to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, that is Jesus, who rescues us from the wrath to come.

nasb@1Thessalonians:2:3 @For our exhortation does not come from error or impurity or by way of deceit;

nasb@1Thessalonians:2:4 @but just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God who examines our hearts.

nasb@1Thessalonians:2:5 @For we never came with flattering speech, as you know, nor with a pretext for greed-- God is witness--

nasb@1Thessalonians:2:6 @nor did we seek glory from men, either from you or from others, even though as apostles of Christ we might have asserted our authority.

nasb@1Thessalonians:2:8 @Having so fond an affection for you, we were well-pleased to impart to you not only the gospel of God but also our own lives, because you had become very dear to us.

nasb@1Thessalonians:2:9 @For you recall, brethren, our labor and hardship, how working night and day so as not to be a burden to any of you, we proclaimed to you the gospel of God.

nasb@1Thessalonians:2:10 @You are witnesses, and so is God, how devoutly and uprightly and blamelessly we behaved toward you believers;

nasb@1Thessalonians:2:13 @For this reason we also constantly thank God that when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men, but for what it really is, the word of God, which also performs its work in you who believe.

nasb@1Thessalonians:2:14 @For you, brethren, became imitators of the churches of God in Christ Jesus that are in Judea, for you also endured the same sufferings at the hands of your own countrymen, even as they did from the Jews,

nasb@1Thessalonians:2:15 @who both killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and drove us out. They are not pleasing to God, but hostile to all men,

nasb@1Thessalonians:2:16 @hindering us from speaking to the Gentiles so that they may be saved; with the result that they always fill up the measure of their sins. But wrath has come upon them to the utmost.

nasb@1Thessalonians:2:18 @For we wanted to come to you--I, Paul, more than once--and yet Satan hindered us.

nasb@1Thessalonians:3:4 @For indeed when we were with you, we kept telling you in advance that we were going to suffer affliction; and so it came to pass, as you know.

nasb@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 think kindly of us, longing to see us just as we also long to see you,

nasb@1Thessalonians:3:13 @so that He may establish your hearts without blame in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all His saints.

nasb@1Thessalonians:4:2 @For you know what commandments we gave you by the authority of the Lord Jesus.

nasb@1Thessalonians:4:13 @But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve as do the rest who have no hope.

nasb@1Thessalonians:4:17 @Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord.

nasb@1Thessalonians:5:1 @Now as to the times and the epochs, brethren, you have no need of anything to be written to you.

nasb@1Thessalonians:5:2 @For you yourselves know full well that the day of the Lord will come just like a thief in the night.

nasb@1Thessalonians:5:3 @While they are saying, " Peace and safety!" then destruction will come upon them suddenly like labor pains upon a woman with child, and they will not escape.

nasb@1Thessalonians:5:8 @But since we are of the day, let us be sober, having put on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet, the hope of salvation.

nasb@1Thessalonians:5:23 @Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved complete, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

nasb@2Thessalonians:1:5 @This is a plain indication of God's righteous judgment so that you will be considered worthy of the kingdom of God, for which indeed you are suffering.

nasb@2Thessalonians:1:10 @when He comes to be glorified in His saints on that day, and to be marveled at among all who have believed--for our testimony to you was believed.

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

nasb@2Thessalonians:2:2 @that you not be quickly shaken from your composure or be disturbed either by a spirit or a message or a letter as if from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come.

nasb@2Thessalonians:2:3 @Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction,

nasb@2Thessalonians:2:5 @Do you not remember that while I was still with you, I was telling you these things?

nasb@2Thessalonians:2:6 @And you know what restrains him now, so that in his time he will be revealed.

nasb@2Thessalonians:3:2 @and that we will be rescued from perverse and evil men; for not all have faith.

nasb@2Thessalonians:3:6 @Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you keep away from every brother who leads an unruly life and not according to the tradition which you received from us.

nasb@2Thessalonians:3:11 @For we hear that some among you are leading an undisciplined life, doing no work at all, but acting like busybodies.

nasb@2Thessalonians:3:14 @If anyone does not obey our instruction in this letter, take special note of that person and do not associate with him, so that he will be put to shame.

nasb@1Timothy:1:1 @Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus according to the commandment of God our Savior, and of Christ Jesus, who is our hope,

nasb@1Timothy:1:2 @To Timothy, my true child in the faith- Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

nasb@1Timothy:1:3 @As I urged you upon my departure for Macedonia, remain on at Ephesus so that you may instruct certain men not to teach strange doctrines,

nasb@1Timothy:1:4 @nor to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which give rise to mere speculation rather than furthering the administration of God which is by faith.

nasb@1Timothy:1:6 @For some men, straying from these things, have turned aside to fruitless discussion,

nasb@1Timothy:1:10 @and immoral men and homosexuals and kidnappers and liars and perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound teaching,

nasb@1Timothy:1:12 @I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, because He considered me faithful, putting me into service,

nasb@1Timothy:1:13 @even though I was formerly a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent aggressor. Yet I was shown mercy because I acted ignorantly in unbelief;

nasb@1Timothy:1:15 @It is a trustworthy statement, deserving full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, among whom I am foremost of all.

nasb@1Timothy:1:16 @Yet for this reason I found mercy, so that in me as the foremost, Jesus Christ might demonstrate His perfect patience as an example for those who would believe in Him for eternal life.

nasb@1Timothy:1:17 @Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.

nasb@1Timothy:1:19 @keeping faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and suffered shipwreck in regard to their faith.

nasb@1Timothy:1:20 @Among these are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have handed over to Satan, so that they will be taught not to blaspheme.

nasb@1Timothy:2:1 @First of all, then, I urge that entreaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgivings, be made on behalf of all men,

nasb@1Timothy:2:4 @who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

nasb@1Timothy:2:5 @For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,

nasb@1Timothy:2:6 @who gave Himself as a ransom for all, the testimony given at the proper time.

nasb@1Timothy:2:8 @Therefore I want the men in every place to pray, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and dissension.

nasb@1Timothy:2:9 @Likewise, I want women to adorn themselves with proper clothing, modestly and discreetly, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly garments,

nasb@1Timothy:2:10 @but rather by means of good works, as is proper for women making a claim to godliness.

nasb@1Timothy:2:15 @But women will be preserved through the bearing of children if they continue in faith and love and sanctity with self-restraint.

nasb@1Timothy:3:1 @It is a trustworthy statement- if any man aspires to the office of overseer, it is a fine work he desires to do.

nasb@1Timothy:3:6 @and not a new convert, so that he will not become conceited and fall into the condemnation incurred by the devil.

nasb@1Timothy:3:8 @Deacons likewise must be men of dignity, not double-tongued, or addicted to much wine or fond of sordid gain,

nasb@1Timothy:3:10 @These men must also first be tested; then let them serve as deacons if they are beyond reproach.

nasb@1Timothy:3:11 @Women must likewise be dignified, not malicious gossips, but temperate, faithful in all things.

nasb@1Timothy:3:14 @I am writing these things to you, hoping to come to you before long;

nasb@1Timothy:3:16 @By common confession, great is the mystery of godliness- He who was revealed in the flesh, Was vindicated in the Spirit, Seen by angels, Proclaimed among the nations, Believed on in the world, Taken up in glory.

nasb@1Timothy:4:1 @But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons,

nasb@1Timothy:4:2 @by means of the hypocrisy of liars seared in their own conscience as with a branding iron,

nasb@1Timothy:4:3 @men who forbid marriage and advocate abstaining from foods which God has created to be gratefully shared in by those who believe and know the truth.

nasb@1Timothy:4:5 @for it is sanctified by means of the word of God and prayer.

nasb@1Timothy:4:7 @But have nothing to do with worldly fables fit only for old women. On the other hand, discipline yourself for the purpose of godliness;

nasb@1Timothy:4:8 @for bodily discipline is only of little profit, but godliness is profitable for all things, since it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.

nasb@1Timothy:4:9 @It is a trustworthy statement deserving full acceptance.

nasb@1Timothy:4:10 @For it is for this we labor and strive, because we have fixed our hope on the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of believers.

nasb@1Timothy:4:13 @Until I come, give attention to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation and teaching.

nasb@1Timothy:5:1 @Do not sharply rebuke an older man, but rather appeal to him as a father, to the younger men as brothers,

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

nasb@1Timothy:5:4 @but if any widow has children or grandchildren, they must first learn to practice piety in regard to their own family and to make some return to their parents; for this is acceptable in the sight of God.

nasb@1Timothy:5:13 @At the same time they also learn to be idle, as they go around from house to house; and not merely idle, but also gossips and busybodies, talking about things not proper to mention.

nasb@1Timothy:5:15 @for some have already turned aside to follow Satan.

nasb@1Timothy:5:23 @No longer drink water exclusively, but use a little wine for the sake of your stomach and your frequent ailments.

nasb@1Timothy:5:24 @The sins of some men are quite evident, going before them to judgment; for others, their sins follow after.

nasb@1Timothy:6:1 @All who are under the yoke as slaves are to regard their own masters as worthy of all honor so that the name of God and our doctrine will not be spoken against.

nasb@1Timothy:6:5 @and constant friction between men of depraved mind and deprived of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain.

nasb@1Timothy:6:6 @But godliness actually is a means of great gain when accompanied by contentment.

nasb@1Timothy:6:9 @But those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a snare and many foolish and harmful desires which plunge men into ruin and destruction.

nasb@1Timothy:6:10 @For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.

nasb@1Timothy:6:14 @that you keep the commandment without stain or reproach until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,

nasb@1Timothy:6:15 @which He will bring about at the proper time--He who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords,

nasb@1Timothy:6:16 @who alone possesses immortality and dwells in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see. To Him be honor and eternal dominion! Amen.

nasb@1Timothy:6:20 @O Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to you, avoiding worldly and empty chatter and the opposing arguments of what is falsely called "knowledge"--

nasb@1Timothy:6:21 @which some have professed and thus gone astray from the faith. Grace be with you.

nasb@2Timothy:1:2 @To Timothy, my beloved son- Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

nasb@2Timothy:1:3 @I thank God, whom I serve with a clear conscience the way my forefathers did, as I constantly remember you in my prayers night and day,

nasb@2Timothy:1:8 @Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord or of me His prisoner, but join with me in suffering for the gospel according to the power of God,

nasb@2Timothy:1:12 @For this reason I also suffer these things, but I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed and I am convinced that He is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him until that day.

nasb@2Timothy:1:13 @Retain the standard of sound words which you have heard from me, in the faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.

nasb@2Timothy:1:15 @You are aware of the fact that all who are in Asia turned away from me, among whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.

nasb@2Timothy:1:16 @The Lord grant mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me and was not ashamed of my chains;

nasb@2Timothy:1:17 @but when he was in Rome, he eagerly searched for me and found me--

nasb@2Timothy:1:18 @the Lord grant to him to find mercy from the Lord on that day--and you know very well what services he rendered at Ephesus.

nasb@2Timothy:2:2 @The things which you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses, entrust these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.

nasb@2Timothy:2:3 @Suffer hardship with me, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.

nasb@2Timothy:2:6 @The hard-working farmer ought to be the first to receive his share of the crops.

nasb@2Timothy:2:8 @Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, descendant of David, according to my gospel,

nasb@2Timothy:2:9 @for which I suffer hardship even to imprisonment as a criminal; but the word of God is not imprisoned.

nasb@2Timothy:2:11 @It is a trustworthy statement- For if we died with Him, we will also live with Him;

nasb@2Timothy:2:15 @Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth.

nasb@2Timothy:2:17 @and their talk will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus,

nasb@2Timothy:2:18 @men who have gone astray from the truth saying that the resurrection has already taken place, and they upset the faith of some.

nasb@2Timothy:2:19 @Nevertheless, the firm foundation of God stands, having this seal, " The Lord knows those who are His," and, " Everyone who names the name of the Lord is to abstain from wickedness."

nasb@2Timothy:2:20 @Now in a large house there are not only gold and silver vessels, but also vessels of wood and of earthenware, and some to honor and some to dishonor.

nasb@2Timothy:2:24 @The Lord's bond-servant must not be quarrelsome, but be kind to all, able to teach, patient when wronged,

nasb@2Timothy:2:26 @and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, having been held captive by him to do his will.

nasb@2Timothy:3:1 @But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come.

nasb@2Timothy:3:2 @For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,

nasb@2Timothy:3:5 @holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these.

nasb@2Timothy:3:6 @For among them are those who enter into households and captivate weak women weighed down with sins, led on by various impulses,

nasb@2Timothy:3:7 @always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

nasb@2Timothy:3:8 @Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, men of depraved mind, rejected in regard to the faith.

nasb@2Timothy:3:11 @persecutions, and sufferings, such as happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium and at Lystra; what persecutions I endured, and out of them all the Lord rescued me!

nasb@2Timothy:3:13 @But evil men and impostors will proceed from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.

nasb@2Timothy:3:14 @You, however, continue in the things you have learned and become convinced of, knowing from whom you have learned them,

nasb@2Timothy:4:3 @For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires,

nasb@2Timothy:4:6 @For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure has come.

nasb@2Timothy:4:8 @in the future there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day; and not only to me, but also to all who have loved His appearing.

nasb@2Timothy:4:9 @Make every effort to come to me soon;

nasb@2Timothy:4:10 @for Demas, having loved this present world, has deserted me and gone to Thessalonica; Crescens has gone to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia.

nasb@2Timothy:4:11 @Only Luke is with me. Pick up Mark and bring him with you, for he is useful to me for service.

nasb@2Timothy:4:13 @When you come bring the cloak which I left at Troas with Carpus, and the books, especially the parchments.

nasb@2Timothy:4:14 @Alexander the coppersmith did me much harm; the Lord will repay him according to his deeds.

nasb@2Timothy:4:16 @At my first defense no one supported me, but all deserted me; may it not be counted against them.

nasb@2Timothy:4:17 @But the Lord stood with me and strengthened me, so that through me the proclamation might be fully accomplished, and that all the Gentiles might hear; and I was rescued out of the lion's mouth.

nasb@2Timothy:4:18 @The Lord will rescue me from every evil deed, and will bring me safely to His heavenly kingdom; to Him be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

nasb@2Timothy:4:21 @Make every effort to come before winter. Eubulus greets you, also Pudens and Linus and Claudia and all the brethren.

nasb@Titus:1:3 @but at the proper time manifested, even His word, in the proclamation with which I was entrusted according to the commandment of God our Savior,

nasb@Titus:1:6 @namely, if any man is above reproach, the husband of one wife, having children who believe, not accused of dissipation or rebellion.

nasb@Titus:1:10 @For there are many rebellious men, empty talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision,

nasb@Titus:1:14 @not paying attention to Jewish myths and commandments of men who turn away from the truth.

nasb@Titus:2:2 @Older men are to be temperate, dignified, sensible, sound in faith, in love, in perseverance.

nasb@Titus:2:3 @Older women likewise are to be reverent in their behavior, not malicious gossips nor enslaved to much wine, teaching what is good,

nasb@Titus:2:4 @so that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,

nasb@Titus:2:5 @to be sensible, pure, workers at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be dishonored.

nasb@Titus:2:6 @Likewise urge the young men to be sensible;

nasb@Titus:2:8 @sound in speech which is beyond reproach, so that the opponent will be put to shame, having nothing bad to say about us.

nasb@Titus:2:9 @Urge bondslaves to be subject to their own masters in everything, to be well-pleasing, not argumentative,

nasb@Titus:2:11 @For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men,

nasb@Titus:3:2 @to malign no one, to be peaceable, gentle, showing every consideration for all men.

nasb@Titus:3:5 @He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit,

nasb@Titus:3:8 @This is a trustworthy statement; and concerning these things I want you to speak confidently, so that those who have believed God will be careful to engage in good deeds. These things are good and profitable for men.

nasb@Titus:3:12 @When I send Artemas or Tychicus to you, make every effort to come to me at Nicopolis, for I have decided to spend the winter there.

nasb@Titus:3:14 @Our people must also learn to engage in good deeds to meet pressing needs, so that they will not be unfruitful.

nasb@Titus:3:15 @All who are with me greet you. Greet those who love us in the faith. Grace be with you all.

nasb@Philemon:1:4 @I thank my God always, making mention of you in my prayers,

nasb@Philemon:1:6 @and I pray that the fellowship of your faith may become effective through the knowledge of every good thing which is in you for Christ's sake.

nasb@Philemon:1:7 @For I have come to have much joy and comfort in your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you, brother.

nasb@Philemon:1:10 @I appeal to you for my child Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my imprisonment,

nasb@Philemon:1:11 @who formerly was useless to you, but now is useful both to you and to me.

nasb@Philemon:1:13 @whom I wished to keep with me, so that on your behalf he might minister to me in my imprisonment for the gospel;

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

nasb@Philemon:1:17 @If then you regard me a partner, accept him as you would me.

nasb@Philemon:1:19 @I, Paul, am writing this with my own hand, I will repay it ( not to mention to you that you owe to me even your own self as well).

nasb@Philemon:1:20 @Yes, brother, let me benefit from you in the Lord; refresh my heart in Christ.

nasb@Philemon:1:22 @At the same time also prepare me a lodging, for I hope that through your prayers I will be given to you.

nasb@Hebrews:1:4 @having become as much better than the angels, as He has inherited a more excellent name than they.

nasb@Hebrews:1:5 @For to which of the angels did He ever say, " YOU ARE MY SON, TODAY I HAVE BEGOTTEN YOU"? And again, " I WILL BE A FATHER TO HIM AND HE SHALL BE A SON TO ME"?

nasb@Hebrews:1:7 @And of the angels He says, " WHO MAKES HIS ANGELS WINDS, AND HIS MINISTERS A FLAME OF FIRE."

nasb@Hebrews:1:11 @THEY WILL PERISH, BUT YOU REMAIN; AND THEY ALL WILL BECOME OLD LIKE A GARMENT,

nasb@Hebrews:1:12 @AND LIKE A MANTLE YOU WILL ROLL THEM UP; LIKE A GARMENT THEY WILL ALSO BE CHANGED. BUT YOU ARE THE SAME, AND YOUR YEARS WILL NOT COME TO AN END."

nasb@Hebrews:2:3 @how will we escape if we neglect so great a salvation? After it was at the first spoken through the Lord, it was confirmed to us by those who heard,

nasb@Hebrews:2:5 @For He did not subject to angels the world to come, concerning which we are speaking.

nasb@Hebrews:2:6 @But one has testified somewhere, saying, " WHAT IS MAN, THAT YOU REMEMBER HIM? OR THE SON OF MAN, THAT YOU ARE CONCERNED ABOUT HIM?

nasb@Hebrews:2:9 @But we do see Him who was made for a little while lower than the angels, namely, Jesus, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, so that by the grace of God He might taste death for everyone.

nasb@Hebrews:2:11 @For both He who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are all from one Father; for which reason He is not ashamed to call them brethren,

nasb@Hebrews:2:12 @saying, " I WILL PROCLAIM YOUR NAME TO MY BRETHREN, IN THE MIDST OF THE CONGREGATION I WILL SING YOUR PRAISE."

nasb@Hebrews:2:13 @And again, " I WILL PUT MY TRUST IN HIM." And again, " BEHOLD, I AND THE CHILDREN WHOM GOD HAS GIVEN ME."

nasb@Hebrews:2:14 @Therefore, since the children share in flesh and blood, He Himself likewise also partook of the same, that through death He might render powerless him who had the power of death, that is, the devil,

nasb@Hebrews:2:17 @Therefore, He had to be made like His brethren in all things, so that He might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.

nasb@Hebrews:2:18 @For since He Himself was tempted in that which He has suffered, He is able to come to the aid of those who are tempted.

nasb@Hebrews:3:4 @For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God.

nasb@Hebrews:3:8 @DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEARTS AS WHEN THEY PROVOKED ME, AS IN THE DAY OF TRIAL IN THE WILDERNESS,

nasb@Hebrews:3:9 @WHERE YOUR FATHERS TRIED Me BY TESTING Me, AND SAW MY WORKS FOR FORTY YEARS.

nasb@Hebrews:3:14 @For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our assurance firm until the end,

nasb@Hebrews:3:15 @while it is said, " TODAY IF YOU HEAR HIS VOICE, DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEARTS, AS WHEN THEY PROVOKED ME."

nasb@Hebrews:3:16 @For who provoked Him when they had heard? Indeed, did not all those who came out of Egypt led by Moses?

nasb@Hebrews:4:1 @Therefore, let us fear if, while a promise remains of entering His rest, any one of you may seem to have come short of it.

nasb@Hebrews:4:4 @For He has said somewhere concerning the seventh day- " AND GOD RESTED ON THE SEVENTH DAY FROM ALL HIS WORKS";

nasb@Hebrews:4:6 @Therefore, since it remains for some to enter it, and those who formerly had good news preached to them failed to enter because of disobedience,

nasb@Hebrews:4:7 @He again fixes a certain day, "Today," saying through David after so long a time just as has been said before, " TODAY IF YOU HEAR HIS VOICE, DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEARTS."

nasb@Hebrews:4:11 @Therefore let us be diligent to enter that rest, so that no one will fall, through following the same example of disobedience.

nasb@Hebrews:4:16 @Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

nasb@Hebrews:5:1 @For every high priest taken from among men is appointed on behalf of men in things pertaining to God, in order to offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins;

nasb@Hebrews:5:5 @So also Christ did not glorify Himself so as to become a high priest, but He who said to Him, " YOU ARE MY SON, TODAY I HAVE BEGOTTEN YOU";

nasb@Hebrews:5:6 @just as He says also in another passage, " YOU ARE A PRIEST FOREVER ACCORDING TO THE ORDER OF MELCHIZEDEK."

nasb@Hebrews:5:9 @And having been made perfect, He became to all those who obey Him the source of eternal salvation,

nasb@Hebrews:5:10 @being designated by God as a high priest according to the order of Melchizedek.

nasb@Hebrews:5:11 @Concerning him we have much to say, and it is hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing.

nasb@Hebrews:5:12 @For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you have need again for someone to teach you the elementary principles of the oracles of God, and you have come to need milk and not solid food.

nasb@Hebrews:5:13 @For everyone who partakes only of milk is not accustomed to the word of righteousness, for he is an infant.

nasb@Hebrews:6:1 @Therefore leaving the elementary teaching about the Christ, let us press on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God,

nasb@Hebrews:6:2 @of instruction about washings and laying on of hands, and the resurrection of the dead and eternal judgment.

nasb@Hebrews:6:5 @and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come,

nasb@Hebrews:6:6 @and then have fallen away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance, since they again crucify to themselves the Son of God and put Him to open shame.

nasb@Hebrews:6:10 @For God is not unjust so as to forget your work and the love which you have shown toward His name, in having ministered and in still ministering to the saints.

nasb@Hebrews:6:11 @And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence so as to realize the full assurance of hope until the end,

nasb@Hebrews:6:16 @For men swear by one greater than themselves, and with them an oath given as confirmation is an end of every dispute.

nasb@Hebrews:6:17 @In the same way God, desiring even more to show to the heirs of the promise the unchangeableness of His purpose, interposed with an oath,

nasb@Hebrews:6:18 @so that by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have taken refuge would have strong encouragement to take hold of the hope set before us.

nasb@Hebrews:6:20 @where Jesus has entered as a forerunner for us, having become a high priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.

nasb@Hebrews:7:1 @For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the Most High God, who met Abraham as he was returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,

nasb@Hebrews:7:2 @to whom also Abraham apportioned a tenth part of all the spoils, was first of all, by the translation of his name, king of righteousness, and then also king of Salem, which is king of peace.

nasb@Hebrews:7:5 @And those indeed of the sons of Levi who receive the priest's office have commandment in the Law to collect a tenth from the people, that is, from their brethren, although these are descended from Abraham.

nasb@Hebrews:7:8 @In this case mortal men receive tithes, but in that case one receives them, of whom it is witnessed that he lives on.

nasb@Hebrews:7:10 @for he was still in the loins of his father when Melchizedek met him.

nasb@Hebrews:7:11 @Now if perfection was through the Levitical priesthood (for on the basis of it the people received the Law), what further need was there for another priest to arise according to the order of Melchizedek, and not be designated according to the order of Aaron?

nasb@Hebrews:7:15 @And this is clearer still, if another priest arises according to the likeness of Melchizedek,

nasb@Hebrews:7:16 @who has become such not on the basis of a law of physical requirement, but according to the power of an indestructible life.

nasb@Hebrews:7:17 @For it is attested of Him, " YOU ARE A PRIEST FOREVER ACCORDING TO THE ORDER OF MELCHIZEDEK."

nasb@Hebrews:7:18 @For, on the one hand, there is a setting aside of a former commandment because of its weakness and uselessness

nasb@Hebrews:7:21 @(for they indeed became priests without an oath, but He with an oath through the One who said to Him, " THE LORD HAS SWORN AND WILL NOT CHANGE HIS MIND, 'YOU ARE A PRIEST FOREVER'");

nasb@Hebrews:7:22 @so much the more also Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant.

nasb@Hebrews:7:23 @The former priests, on the one hand, existed in greater numbers because they were prevented by death from continuing,

nasb@Hebrews:7:28 @For the Law appoints men as high priests who are weak, but the word of the oath, which came after the Law, appoints a Son, made perfect forever.

nasb@Hebrews:8:3 @For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices; so it is necessary that this high priest also have something to offer.

nasb@Hebrews:8:6 @But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, by as much as He is also the mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted on better promises.

nasb@Hebrews:8:11" @ AND THEY SHALL NOT TEACH EVERYONE HIS FELLOW CITIZEN, AND EVERYONE HIS BROTHER, SAYING, 'KNOW THE LORD,' FOR ALL WILL KNOW ME, FROM THE LEAST TO THE GREATEST OF THEM.

nasb@Hebrews:8:12" @ FOR I WILL BE MERCIFUL TO THEIR INIQUITIES, AND I WILL REMEMBER THEIR SINS NO MORE."

nasb@Hebrews:9:5 @and above it were the cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat; but of these things we cannot now speak in detail.

nasb@Hebrews:9:9 @which is a symbol for the present time. Accordingly both gifts and sacrifices are offered which cannot make the worshiper perfect in conscience,

nasb@Hebrews:9:10 @since they relate only to food and drink and various washings, regulations for the body imposed until a time of reformation.

nasb@Hebrews:9:11 @But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things to come, He entered through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation;

nasb@Hebrews:9:15 @For this reason He is the mediator of a new covenant, so that, since a death has taken place for the redemption of the transgressions that were committed under the first covenant, those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.

nasb@Hebrews:9:17 @For a covenant is valid only when men are dead, for it is never in force while the one who made it lives.

nasb@Hebrews:9:19 @For when every commandment had been spoken by Moses to all the people according to the Law, he took the blood of the calves and the goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people,

nasb@Hebrews:9:21 @And in the same way he sprinkled both the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry with the blood.

nasb@Hebrews:9:24 @For Christ did not enter a holy place made with hands, a mere copy of the true one, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us;

nasb@Hebrews:9:27 @And inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment,

nasb@Hebrews:9:28 @so Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time for salvation without reference to sin, to those who eagerly await Him.

nasb@Hebrews:10:1 @For the Law, since it has only a shadow of the good things to come and not the very form of things, can never, by the same sacrifices which they offer continually year by year, make perfect those who draw near.

nasb@Hebrews:10:5 @Therefore, when He comes into the world, He says, " SACRIFICE AND OFFERING YOU HAVE NOT DESIRED, BUT A BODY YOU HAVE PREPARED FOR ME;

nasb@Hebrews:10:9 @then He said, " BEHOLD, I HAVE COME TO DO YOUR WILL." He takes away the first in order to establish the second.

nasb@Hebrews:10:11 @Every priest stands daily ministering and offering time after time the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins;

nasb@Hebrews:10:12 @but He, having offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, SAT DOWN AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD,

nasb@Hebrews:10:13 @waiting from that time onward UNTIL HIS ENEMIES BE MADE A FOOTSTOOL FOR HIS FEET.

nasb@Hebrews:10:14 @For by one offering He has perfected for all time those who are sanctified.

nasb@Hebrews:10:17" @ AND THEIR SINS AND THEIR LAWLESS DEEDS I WILL REMEMBER NO MORE."

nasb@Hebrews:10:25 @not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near.

nasb@Hebrews:10:27 @but a terrifying expectation of judgment and THE FURY OF A FIRE WHICH WILL CONSUME THE ADVERSARIES.

nasb@Hebrews:10:28 @Anyone who has set aside the Law of Moses dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.

nasb@Hebrews:10:29 @How much severer punishment do you think he will deserve who has trampled under foot the Son of God, and has regarded as unclean the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has insulted the Spirit of grace?

nasb@Hebrews:10:32 @But remember the former days, when, after being enlightened, you endured a great conflict of sufferings,

nasb@Hebrews:10:37 @FOR YET IN A VERY LITTLE WHILE, HE WHO IS COMING WILL COME, AND WILL NOT DELAY.

nasb@Hebrews:11:2 @For by it the men of old gained approval.

nasb@Hebrews:11:6 @And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.

nasb@Hebrews:11:7 @By faith Noah, being warned by God about things not yet seen, in reverence prepared an ark for the salvation of his household, by which he condemned the world, and became an heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.

nasb@Hebrews:11:9 @By faith he lived as an alien in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, fellow heirs of the same promise;

nasb@Hebrews:11:11 @By faith even Sarah herself received ability to conceive, even beyond the proper time of life, since she considered Him faithful who had promised.

nasb@Hebrews:11:12 @Therefore there was born even of one man, and him as good as dead at that, as many descendants AS THE STARS OF HEAVEN IN NUMBER, AND INNUMERABLE AS THE SAND WHICH IS BY THE SEASHORE.

nasb@Hebrews:11:13 @All these died in faith, without receiving the promises, but having seen them and having welcomed them from a distance, and having confessed that they were strangers and exiles on the earth.

nasb@Hebrews:11:16 @But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God; for He has prepared a city for them.

nasb@Hebrews:11:20 @By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau, even regarding things to come.

nasb@Hebrews:11:22 @By faith Joseph, when he was dying, made mention of the exodus of the sons of Israel, and gave orders concerning his bones.

nasb@Hebrews:11:25 @choosing rather to endure ill-treatment with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin,

nasb@Hebrews:11:31 @By faith Rahab the harlot did not perish along with those who were disobedient, after she had welcomed the spies in peace.

nasb@Hebrews:11:32 @And what more shall I say? For time will fail me if I tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets,

nasb@Hebrews:11:33 @who by faith conquered kingdoms, performed acts of righteousness, obtained promises, shut the mouths of lions,

nasb@Hebrews:11:34 @quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, from weakness were made strong, became mighty in war, put foreign armies to flight.

nasb@Hebrews:11:35 @Women received back their dead by resurrection; and others were tortured, not accepting their release, so that they might obtain a better resurrection;

nasb@Hebrews:11:36 @and others experienced mockings and scourgings, yes, also chains and imprisonment.

nasb@Hebrews:11:38 @(men of whom the world was not worthy), wandering in deserts and mountains and caves and holes in the ground.

nasb@Hebrews:11:40 @because God had provided something better for us, so that apart from us they would not be made perfect.

nasb@Hebrews:12:2 @fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

nasb@Hebrews:12:8 @But if you are without discipline, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate children and not sons.

nasb@Hebrews:12:10 @For they disciplined us for a short time as seemed best to them, but He disciplines us for our good, so that we may share His holiness.

nasb@Hebrews:12:11 @All discipline for the moment seems not to be joyful, but sorrowful; yet to those who have been trained by it, afterwards it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness.

nasb@Hebrews:12:13 @and make straight paths for your feet, so that the limb which is lame may not be put out of joint, but rather be healed.

nasb@Hebrews:12:14 @Pursue peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no one will see the Lord.

nasb@Hebrews:12:15 @See to it that no one comes short of the grace of God; that no root of bitterness springing up causes trouble, and by it many be defiled;

nasb@Hebrews:12:16 @that there be no immoral or godless person like Esau, who sold his own birthright for a single meal.

nasb@Hebrews:12:18 @For you have not come to a mountain that can be touched and to a blazing fire, and to darkness and gloom and whirlwind,

nasb@Hebrews:12:22 @But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of angels,

nasb@Hebrews:12:24 @and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood, which speaks better than the blood of Abel.

nasb@Hebrews:13:2 @Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by this some have entertained angels without knowing it.

nasb@Hebrews:13:3 @Remember the prisoners, as though in prison with them, and those who are ill-treated, since you yourselves also are in the body.

nasb@Hebrews:13:6 @so that we confidently say, " THE LORD IS MY HELPER, I WILL NOT BE AFRAID. WHAT WILL MAN DO TO ME?"

nasb@Hebrews:13:7 @Remember those who led you, who spoke the word of God to you; and considering the result of their conduct, imitate their faith.

nasb@Hebrews:13:8 @Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

nasb@Hebrews:13:14 @For here we do not have a lasting city, but we are seeking the city which is to come.

nasb@Hebrews:13:15 @Through Him then, let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that give thanks to His name.

nasb@Hebrews:13:21 @equip you in every good thing to do His will, working in us that which is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

nasb@Hebrews:13:23 @Take notice that our brother Timothy has been released, with whom, if he comes soon, I will see you.

nasb@James:1:1 @James, a bond-servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes who are dispersed abroad- Greetings.

nasb@James:1:2 @Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials,

nasb@James:1:3 @knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.

nasb@James:1:4 @And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

nasb@James:1:5 @But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

nasb@James:1:6 @But he must ask in faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind.

nasb@James:1:7 @For that man ought not to expect that he will receive anything from the Lord,

nasb@James:1:8 @being a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

nasb@James:1:9 @But the brother of humble circumstances is to glory in his high position;

nasb@James:1:10 @and the rich man is to glory in his humiliation, because like flowering grass he will pass away.

nasb@James:1:11 @For the sun rises with a scorching wind and withers the grass; and its flower falls off and the beauty of its appearance is destroyed; so too the rich man in the midst of his pursuits will fade away.

nasb@James:1:12 @Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.

nasb@James:1:13 @Let no one say when he is tempted, " I am being tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone.

nasb@James:1:14 @But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust.

nasb@James:1:15 @Then when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is accomplished, it brings forth death.

nasb@James:1:16 @Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren.

nasb@James:1:17 @Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow.

nasb@James:1:18 @In the exercise of His will He brought us forth by the word of truth, so that we would be a kind of first fruits among His creatures.

nasb@James:1:19 @This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger;

nasb@James:1:20 @for the anger of man does not achieve the righteousness of God.

nasb@James:1:21 @Therefore, putting aside all filthiness and all that remains of wickedness, in humility receive the word implanted, which is able to save your souls.

nasb@James:1:22 @But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves.

nasb@James:1:23 @For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror;

nasb@James:1:24 @for once he has looked at himself and gone away, he has immediately forgotten what kind of person he was.

nasb@James:1:25 @But one who looks intently at the perfect law, the law of liberty, and abides by it, not having become a forgetful hearer but an effectual doer, this man will be blessed in what he does.

nasb@James:1:26 @If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man's religion is worthless.

nasb@James:1:27 @Pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father is this- to visit orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.

nasb@James:2:1 @My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism.

nasb@James:2:2 @For if a man comes into your assembly with a gold ring and dressed in fine clothes, and there also comes in a poor man in dirty clothes,

nasb@James:2:3 @and you pay special attention to the one who is wearing the fine clothes, and say, "You sit here in a good place," and you say to the poor man, "You stand over there, or sit down by my footstool,"

nasb@James:2:4 @have you not made distinctions among yourselves, and become judges with evil motives?

nasb@James:2:5 @Listen, my beloved brethren- did not God choose the poor of this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which He promised to those who love Him?

nasb@James:2:6 @But you have dishonored the poor man. Is it not the rich who oppress you and personally drag you into court?

nasb@James:2:7 @Do they not blaspheme the fair name by which you have been called?

nasb@James:2:8 @If, however, you are fulfilling the royal law according to the Scripture, " YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF," you are doing well.

nasb@James:2:9 @But if you show partiality, you are committing sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors.

nasb@James:2:10 @For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all.

nasb@James:2:11 @For He who said, " DO NOT COMMIT ADULTERY," also said, " DO NOT COMMIT MURDER." Now if you do not commit adultery, but do commit murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.

nasb@James:2:12 @So speak and so act as those who are to be judged by the law of liberty.

nasb@James:2:13 @For judgment will be merciless to one who has shown no mercy; mercy triumphs over judgment.

nasb@James:2:14 @What use is it, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but he has no works? Can that faith save him?

nasb@James:2:15 @If a brother or sister is without clothing and in need of daily food,

nasb@James:2:16 @and one of you says to them, " Go in peace, be warmed and be filled," and yet you do not give them what is necessary for their body, what use is that?

nasb@James:2:17 @Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead, being by itself.

nasb@James:2:18 @But someone may well say, "You have faith and I have works; show me your faith without the works, and I will show you my faith by my works."

nasb@James:2:19 @You believe that God is one. You do well; the demons also believe, and shudder.

nasb@James:2:20 @But are you willing to recognize, you foolish fellow, that faith without works is useless?

nasb@James:2:21 @Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up Isaac his son on the altar?

nasb@James:2:22 @You see that faith was working with his works, and as a result of the works, faith was perfected;

nasb@James:2:23 @and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, " AND ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS RECKONED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS," and he was called the friend of God.

nasb@James:2:24 @You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone.

nasb@James:2:25 @In the same way, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out by another way?

nasb@James:2:26 @For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.

nasb@James:3:1 @Let not many of you become teachers, my brethren, knowing that as such we will incur a stricter judgment.

nasb@James:3:2 @For we all stumble in many ways. If anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body as well.

nasb@James:3:3 @Now if we put the bits into the horses' mouths so that they will obey us, we direct their entire body as well.

nasb@James:3:4 @Look at the ships also, though they are so great and are driven by strong winds, are still directed by a very small rudder wherever the inclination of the pilot desires.

nasb@James:3:5 @So also the tongue is a small part of the body, and yet it boasts of great things. See how great a forest is set aflame by such a small fire!

nasb@James:3:6 @And the tongue is a fire, the very world of iniquity; the tongue is set among our members as that which defiles the entire body, and sets on fire the course of our life, and is set on fire by hell.

nasb@James:3:7 @For every species of beasts and birds, of reptiles and creatures of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by the human race.

nasb@James:3:8 @But no one can tame the tongue; it is a restless evil and full of deadly poison.

nasb@James:3:9 @With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the likeness of God;

nasb@James:3:10 @from the same mouth come both blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be this way.

nasb@James:3:11 @Does a fountain send out from the same opening both fresh and bitter water?

nasb@James:3:12 @Can a fig tree, my brethren, produce olives, or a vine produce figs? Nor can salt water produce fresh.

nasb@James:3:13 @Who among you is wise and understanding? Let him show by his good behavior his deeds in the gentleness of wisdom.

nasb@James:3:14 @But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, do not be arrogant and so lie against the truth.

nasb@James:3:15 @This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, natural, demonic.

nasb@James:3:16 @For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there is disorder and every evil thing.

nasb@James:3:17 @But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, unwavering, without hypocrisy.

nasb@James:3:18 @And the seed whose fruit is righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.

nasb@James:4:1 @What is the source of quarrels and conflicts among you? Is not the source your pleasures that wage war in your members?

nasb@James:4:2 @You lust and do not have; so you commit murder. You are envious and cannot obtain; so you fight and quarrel. You do not have because you do not ask.

nasb@James:4:3 @You ask and do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it on your pleasures.

nasb@James:4:4 @You adulteresses, do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

nasb@James:4:5 @Or do you think that the Scripture speaks to no purpose- " He jealously desires the Spirit which He has made to dwell in us"?

nasb@James:4:6 @But He gives a greater grace. Therefore it says, " GOD IS OPPOSED TO THE PROUD, BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE."

nasb@James:4:7 @Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.

nasb@James:4:8 @Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

nasb@James:4:9 @Be miserable and mourn and weep; let your laughter be turned into mourning and your joy to gloom.

nasb@James:4:10 @Humble yourselves in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you.

nasb@James:4:11 @Do not speak against one another, brethren. He who speaks against a brother or judges 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 of it.

nasb@James:4:12 @There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the One who is able to save and to destroy; but who are you who judge your neighbor?

nasb@James:4:13 @Come now, you who say, " Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, and spend a year there and engage in business and make a profit."

nasb@James:4:14 @Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow. You are just a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away.

nasb@James:4:15 @Instead, you ought to say, " If the Lord wills, we will live and also do this or that."

nasb@James:4:16 @But as it is, you boast in your arrogance; all such boasting is evil.

nasb@James:4:17 @Therefore, to one who knows the right thing to do and does not do it, to him it is sin.

nasb@James:5:1 @Come now, you rich, weep and howl for your miseries which are coming upon you.

nasb@James:5:2 @Your riches have rotted and your garments have become moth-eaten.

nasb@James:5:3 @Your gold and your silver have rusted; and their rust will be a witness against you and will consume your flesh like fire. It is in the last days that you have stored up your treasure!

nasb@James:5:4 @Behold, the pay of the laborers who mowed your fields, and which has been withheld by you, cries out against you; and the outcry of those who did the harvesting has reached the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth.

nasb@James:5:5 @You have lived luxuriously on the earth and led a life of wanton pleasure; you have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter.

nasb@James:5:6 @You have condemned and put to death the righteous man; he does not resist you.

nasb@James:5:7 @Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. The farmer waits for the precious produce of the soil, being patient about it, until it gets the early and late rains.

nasb@James:5:8 @You too be patient; strengthen your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is near.

nasb@James:5:9 @Do not complain, brethren, against one another, so that you yourselves may not be judged; behold, the Judge is standing right at the door.

nasb@James:5:10 @As an example, brethren, of suffering and patience, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.

nasb@James:5:11 @We count those blessed who endured. You have heard of the endurance of Job and have seen the outcome of the Lord's dealings, that the Lord is full of compassion and is merciful.

nasb@James:5:12 @But above all, my brethren, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or with any other oath; but your yes is to be yes, and your no, no, so that you may not fall under judgment.

nasb@James:5:13 @Is anyone among you suffering? Then he must pray. Is anyone cheerful? He is to sing praises.

nasb@James:5:14 @Is anyone among you sick? Then he must call for the elders of the church and they are to pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord;

nasb@James:5:15 @and the prayer offered in faith will restore the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up, and if he has committed sins, they will be forgiven him.

nasb@James:5:16 @Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much.

nasb@James:5:17 @Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the earth for three years and six months.

nasb@James:5:18 @Then he prayed again, and the sky poured rain and the earth produced its fruit.

nasb@James:5:19 @My brethren, if any among you strays from the truth and one turns him back,

nasb@James:5:20 @let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.

nasb@1Peter:1:2 @according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, by the sanctifying work of the Spirit, to obey Jesus Christ and be sprinkled with His blood- May grace and peace be yours in the fullest measure.

nasb@1Peter:1:3 @Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

nasb@1Peter:1:5 @who are protected by the power of God through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

nasb@1Peter:1:9 @obtaining as the outcome of your faith the salvation of your souls.

nasb@1Peter:1:10 @As to this salvation, the prophets who prophesied of the grace that would come to you made careful searches and inquiries,

nasb@1Peter:1:11 @seeking to know what person or time the Spirit of Christ within them was indicating as He predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories to follow.

nasb@1Peter:1:14 @As obedient children, do not be conformed to the former lusts which were yours in your ignorance,

nasb@1Peter:1:17 @If you address as Father the One who impartially judges according to each one's work, conduct yourselves in fear during the time of your stay on earth;

nasb@1Peter:1:18 @knowing that you were not redeemed with perishable things like silver or gold from your futile way of life inherited from your forefathers,

nasb@1Peter:1:20 @For He was foreknown before the foundation of the world, but has appeared in these last times for the sake of you

nasb@1Peter:2:4 @And coming to Him as to a living stone which has been rejected by men, but is choice and precious in the sight of God,

nasb@1Peter:2:7 @This precious value, then, is for you who believe; but for those who disbelieve, " THE STONE WHICH THE BUILDERS REJECTED, THIS BECAME THE VERY CORNER stone,"

nasb@1Peter:2:10 @for you once were NOT A PEOPLE, but now you are THE PEOPLE OF GOD; you had NOT RECEIVED MERCY, but now you have RECEIVED MERCY.

nasb@1Peter:2:14 @or to governors as sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and the praise of those who do right.

nasb@1Peter:2:15 @For such is the will of God that by doing right you may silence the ignorance of foolish men.

nasb@1Peter:2:16 @Act as free men, and do not use your freedom as a covering for evil, but use it as bondslaves of God.

nasb@1Peter:3:1 @In the same way, you wives, be submissive to your own husbands so that even if any of them are disobedient to the word, they may be won without a word by the behavior of their wives,

nasb@1Peter:3:3 @Your adornment must not be merely external--braiding the hair, and wearing gold jewelry, or putting on dresses;

nasb@1Peter:3:5 @For in this way in former times the holy women also, who hoped in God, used to adorn themselves, being submissive to their own husbands;

nasb@1Peter:3:6 @just as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, and you have become her children if you do what is right without being frightened by any fear.

nasb@1Peter:3:7 @You husbands in the same way, live with your wives in an understanding way, as with someone weaker, since she is a woman; and show her honor as a fellow heir of the grace of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered.

nasb@1Peter:3:16 @and keep a good conscience so that in the thing in which you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ will be put to shame.

nasb@1Peter:4:1 @Therefore, since Christ has suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same purpose, because he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,

nasb@1Peter:4:2 @so as to live the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for the lusts of men, but for the will of God.

nasb@1Peter:4:3 @For the time already past is sufficient for you to have carried out the desire of the Gentiles, having pursued a course of sensuality, lusts, drunkenness, carousing, drinking parties and abominable idolatries.

nasb@1Peter:4:4 @In all this, they are surprised that you do not run with them into the same excesses of dissipation, and they malign you;

nasb@1Peter:4:6 @For the gospel has for this purpose been preached even to those who are dead, that though they are judged in the flesh as men, they may live in the spirit according to the will of God.

nasb@1Peter:4:7 @The end of all things is near; therefore, be of sound judgment and sober spirit for the purpose of prayer.

nasb@1Peter:4:11 @Whoever speaks, is to do so as one who is speaking the utterances of God; whoever serves is to do so as one who is serving by the strength which God supplies; so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belongs the glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

nasb@1Peter:4:12 @Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal among you, which comes upon you for your testing, as though some strange thing were happening to you;

nasb@1Peter:4:14 @If you are reviled for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you.

nasb@1Peter:4:15 @Make sure that none of you suffers as a murderer, or thief, or evildoer, or a troublesome meddler;

nasb@1Peter:4:16 @but if anyone suffers as a Christian, he is not to be ashamed, but is to glorify God in this name.

nasb@1Peter:4:17 @For it is time for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God?

nasb@1Peter:4:18 @AND IF IT IS WITH DIFFICULTY THAT THE RIGHTEOUS IS SAVED, WHAT WILL BECOME OF THE GODLESS MAN AND THE SINNER?

nasb@1Peter:5:5 @You younger men, likewise, be subject to your elders; and all of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, for GOD IS OPPOSED TO THE PROUD, BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE.

nasb@1Peter:5:6 @Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time,

nasb@1Peter:5:8 @Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.

nasb@1Peter:5:9 @But resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being accomplished by your brethren who are in the world.

nasb@1Peter:5:11 @To Him be dominion forever and ever. Amen.

nasb@2Peter:1:1 @Simon Peter, a bond-servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who have received a faith of the same kind as ours, by the righteousness of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ-

nasb@2Peter:1:4 @For by these He has granted to us His precious and magnificent promises, so that by them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world by lust.

nasb@2Peter:1:9 @For he who lacks these qualities is blind or short-sighted, having forgotten his purification from his former sins.

nasb@2Peter:1:14 @knowing that the laying aside of my earthly dwelling is imminent, as also our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me.

nasb@2Peter:1:15 @And I will also be diligent that at any time after my departure you will be able to call these things to mind.

nasb@2Peter:1:21 @for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.

nasb@2Peter:2:3 @and in their greed they will exploit you with false words; their judgment from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.

nasb@2Peter:2:4 @For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell and committed them to pits of darkness, reserved for judgment;

nasb@2Peter:2:7 @and if He rescued righteous Lot, oppressed by the sensual conduct of unprincipled men

nasb@2Peter:2:8 @(for by what he saw and heard that righteous man, while living among them, felt his righteous soul tormented day after day by their lawless deeds),

nasb@2Peter:2:9 @then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from temptation, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment for the day of judgment,

nasb@2Peter:2:11 @whereas angels who are greater in might and power do not bring a reviling judgment against them before the Lord.

nasb@2Peter:2:13 @suffering wrong as the wages of doing wrong. They count it a pleasure to revel in the daytime. They are stains and blemishes, reveling in their deceptions, as they carouse with you,

nasb@2Peter:2:19 @promising them freedom while they themselves are slaves of corruption; for by what a man is overcome, by this he is enslaved.

nasb@2Peter:2:20 @For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world by the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and are overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first.

nasb@2Peter:2:21 @For it would be better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn away from the holy commandment handed on to them.

nasb@2Peter:3:2 @that you should remember the words spoken beforehand by the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior spoken by your apostles.

nasb@2Peter:3:3 @Know this first of all, that in the last days mockers will come with their mocking, following after their own lusts,

nasb@2Peter:3:5 @For when they maintain this, it escapes their notice that by the word of God the heavens existed long ago and the earth was formed out of water and by water,

nasb@2Peter:3:6 @through which the world at that time was destroyed, being flooded with water.

nasb@2Peter:3:7 @But by His word the present heavens and earth are being reserved for fire, kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.

nasb@2Peter:3:9 @The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.

nasb@2Peter:3:10 @But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be burned up.

nasb@2Peter:3:12 @looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be destroyed by burning, and the elements will melt with intense heat!

nasb@2Peter:3:14 @Therefore, beloved, since you look for these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, spotless and blameless,

nasb@2Peter:3:16 @as also in all his letters, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which the untaught and unstable distort, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction.

nasb@2Peter:3:17 @You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, be on your guard so that you are not carried away by the error of unprincipled men and fall from your own steadfastness,

nasb@2Peter:3:18 @but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory, both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.

nasb@1John:1:5 @This is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all.

nasb@1John:2:3 @By this we know that we have come to know Him, if we keep His commandments.

nasb@1John:2:4 @The one who says, " I have come to know Him," and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him;

nasb@1John:2:6 @the one who says he abides in Him ought himself to walk in the same manner as He walked.

nasb@1John:2:7 @Beloved, I am not writing a new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you have had from the beginning; the old commandment is the word which you have heard.

nasb@1John:2:8 @On the other hand, I am writing a new commandment to you, which is true in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away and the true Light is already shining.

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

nasb@1John:2:13 @I am writing to you, fathers, because you know Him who has been from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I have written to you, children, because you know the Father.

nasb@1John:2:14 @I have written to you, fathers, because you know Him who has been from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the evil one.

nasb@1John:2:28 @Now, little children, abide in Him, so that when He appears, we may have confidence and not shrink away from Him in shame at His coming.

nasb@1John:3:11 @For this is the message which you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another;

nasb@1John:3:22 @and whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do the things that are pleasing in His sight.

nasb@1John:3:23 @This is His commandment, that we believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as He commanded us.

nasb@1John:3:24 @The one who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. We know by this that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us.

nasb@1John:4:2 @By this you know the Spirit of God- every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God;

nasb@1John:4:4 @You are from God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.

nasb@1John:4:12 @No one has seen God at any time; if we love one another, God abides in us, and His love is perfected in us.

nasb@1John:4:16 @We have come to know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.

nasb@1John:4:17 @By this, love is perfected with us, so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment; because as He is, so also are we in this world.

nasb@1John:4:18 @There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love.

nasb@1John:4:20 @If someone says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for the one who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen.

nasb@1John:4:21 @And this commandment we have from Him, that the one who loves God should love his brother also.

nasb@1John:5:2 @By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and observe His commandments.

nasb@1John:5:3 @For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments; and His commandments are not burdensome.

nasb@1John:5:4 @For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world--our faith.

nasb@1John:5:5 @Who is the one who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

nasb@1John:5:6 @This is the One who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ; not with the water only, but with the water and with the blood. It is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.

nasb@1John:5:8 @the Spirit and the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement.

nasb@1John:5:9 @If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater; for the testimony of God is this, that He has testified concerning His Son.

nasb@1John:5:13 @These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life.

nasb@1John:5:20 @And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding so that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.

nasb@2John:1:3 @Grace, mercy and peace will be with us, from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.

nasb@2John:1:4 @I was very glad to find some of your children walking in truth, just as we have received commandment to do from the Father.

nasb@2John:1:5 @Now I ask you, lady, not as though I were writing to you a new commandment, but the one which we have had from the beginning, that we love one another.

nasb@2John:1:6 @And this is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment, just as you have heard from the beginning, that you should walk in it.

nasb@2John:1:10 @If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house, and do not give him a greeting;

nasb@2John:1:12 @Though I have many things to write to you, I do not want to do so with paper and ink; but I hope to come to you and speak face to face, so that your joy may be made full.

nasb@1John:1:3 @For I was very glad when brethren came and testified to your truth, that is, how you are walking in truth.

nasb@1John:1:7 @For they went out for the sake of the Name, accepting nothing from the Gentiles.

nasb@1John:1:8 @Therefore we ought to support such men, so that we may be fellow workers with the truth.

nasb@1John:1:9 @I wrote something to the church; but Diotrephes, who loves to be first among them, does not accept what we say.

nasb@1John:1:10 @For this reason, if I come, I will call attention to his deeds which he does, unjustly accusing us with wicked words; and not satisfied with this, he himself does not receive the brethren, either, and he forbids those who desire to do so and puts them out of the church.

nasb@1John:1:12 @Demetrius has received a good testimony from everyone, and from the truth itself; and we add our testimony, and you know that our testimony is true.

nasb@1John:1:15 @Peace be to you. The friends greet you. Greet the friends by name.

nasb@Jude:1:1 @Jude, a bond-servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, To those who are the called, beloved in God the Father, and kept for Jesus Christ-

nasb@Jude:1:2 @May mercy and peace and love be multiplied to you.

nasb@Jude:1:6 @And angels who did not keep their own domain, but abandoned their proper abode, He has kept in eternal bonds under darkness for the judgment of the great day,

nasb@Jude:1:7 @just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them, since they in the same way as these indulged in gross immorality and went after strange flesh, are exhibited as an example in undergoing the punishment of eternal fire.

nasb@Jude:1:8 @Yet in the same way these men, also by dreaming, defile the flesh, and reject authority, and revile angelic majesties.

nasb@Jude:1:9 @But Michael the archangel, when he disputed with the devil and argued about the body of Moses, did not dare pronounce against him a railing judgment, but said, " The Lord rebuke you!"

nasb@Jude:1:10 @But these men revile the things which they do not understand; and the things which they know by instinct, like unreasoning animals, by these things they are destroyed.

nasb@Jude:1:12 @These are the men who are hidden reefs in your love feasts when they feast with you without fear, caring for themselves; clouds without water, carried along by winds; autumn trees without fruit, doubly dead, uprooted;

nasb@Jude:1:13 @wild waves of the sea, casting up their own shame like foam; wandering stars, for whom the black darkness has been reserved forever.

nasb@Jude:1:14 @It was also about these men that Enoch, in the seventh generation from Adam, prophesied, saying, " Behold, the Lord came with many thousands of His holy ones,

nasb@Jude:1:15 @to execute judgment upon all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their ungodly deeds which they have done in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him."

nasb@Jude:1:17 @But you, beloved, ought to remember the words that were spoken beforehand by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ,

nasb@Jude:1:18 @that they were saying to you, " In the last time there will be mockers, following after their own ungodly lusts."

nasb@Jude:1:21 @keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting anxiously for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life.

nasb@Jude:1:22 @And have mercy on some, who are doubting;

nasb@Jude:1:23 @save others, snatching them out of the fire; and on some have mercy with fear, hating even the garment polluted by the flesh.

nasb@Jude:1:24 @Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy,

nasb@Jude:1:25 @to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen.
