riversident@Romans:1:1 @ PAUL, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, set apart to bear the good news of God,

riversident@Romans:1:3 @ concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord (who became one of the descendants of David according to the flesh,

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

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

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

riversident@Romans:1:17 @ For a righteousness of God is revealed in it from faith to faith, as it is written, "He who is righteous by faith shall live."

riversident@Romans:1:18 @ For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all impiety and wickedness of men who hold the truth but practice unrighteousness.

riversident@Romans:1:19 @ Because what may be known of God is manifest within them, for God has manifested it to them.

riversident@Romans:1:20 @ For God's invisible qualities \'97 his everlasting power and deity \'97 are, since the creation of the world, clearly seen, being known from what he has made. So they are without any excuse.

riversident@Romans:1:24 @ Therefore God gave them over, in the lusts of their hearts, to uncleanness, to dishonor their bodies mutually.

riversident@Romans:1:26 @ Therefore God gave them over to disgraceful passions. For their females changed the natural use for one contrary to nature,

riversident@Romans:1:27 @ and their males, leaving the natural use of the female, burned in their lust for one another, males with males practicing indecency and receiving in themselves the deserved penalty of their error.

riversident@Romans:1:29 @ filled with all injustice, wickedness, greed, malice, full of envy, murder, strife, fraud, malignant craftiness, whisperers,

riversident@Romans:1:32 @ They know the just judgment of God that those who practice such things are worthy of death, yet they not only do them themselves, but are pleased with those who practice them.

riversident@Romans:2:1 @ THEREFORE you are without excuse, O man, whoever you are, when you judge. For in judging another you condemn yourself. For you, the judge, practice the same things.

riversident@Romans:2:5 @ Are you with a hard and unrepentant heart treasuring for yourself wrath for the day of wrath and for the revelation of the just judgment of God?

riversident@Romans:2:9 @ Distress and crushing calamity will fall upon every human soul that works evil, upon the Jew first and also upon the Greek.

riversident@Romans:2:13 @ (for it is not the hearers of law who are righteous before God, but the doers of law are pronounced righteous;

riversident@Romans:2:15 @ they show the requirements of the Law written in their hearts, since their conscience corroborates it and their thoughts argue in mutual accusation or in self-defense),

riversident@Romans:2:16 @ on the day when God judges the secrets of men through Jesus Christ, as my good news sets forth.

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

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

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

riversident@Romans:3:2 @ Much in every way. First, they were intrusted with the oracles of God.

riversident@Romans:3:5 @ But if our unrighteousness shows the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous when he inflicts his wrath? (note:)I am speaking humanly.(:note)

riversident@Romans:3:8 @ We are not going to say, as some people slanderously affirm that we say, "Let us do evil that good may come," are we? The condemnation of such people is just.

riversident@Romans:3:10 @ as it is written, "There is not even one righteous;

riversident@Romans:3:12 @ All have turned away; together they have become worthless; there is none who does what is useful, not even one.

riversident@Romans:3:20 @ Therefore by works of the Law no human being will be pronounced righteous before him. For through the Law comes the knowledge of sin.

riversident@Romans:3:21 @ But now, apart from law, a righteousness of God has been revealed, confirmed by the Law and the Prophets \'97

riversident@Romans:3:22 @ a righteousness from God through faith in Jesus Christ for all believers. For there is no difference.

riversident@Romans:3:24 @ All are pronounced righteous by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,

riversident@Romans:3:25 @ whom God has set forth as a propitiation by his blood through faith, for the manifestation of his righteousness, because of the passing over of previous sins in the forbearance of God \'97

riversident@Romans:3:26 @ for a manifestation at the present time of his righteousness, that he may himself be righteous and may accept as righteous him who has faith in Jesus.

riversident@Romans:3:28 @ For we reason that a man is pronounced righteous by faith aside from works of law.

riversident@Romans:3:30 @ if God is one and will pronounce the circumcision righteous by faith and the uncircumcision righteous through faith.

riversident@Romans:4:2 @ For if Abraham was pronounced righteous because of works, he had something to boast of. But he had nothing before God;

riversident@Romans:4:3 @ for what says the Scripture? "Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him for righteousness."

riversident@Romans:4:5 @ but to him who does not work, but believes in him who calls the unrighteous man righteous, his faith is credited for righteousness.

riversident@Romans:4:6 @ Just so David speaks of the blessedness of the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works,

riversident@Romans:4:9 @ Does this blessedness come to the circumcision, or also to the uncircumcision? For we say, "Faith was credited to Abraham for righteousness."

riversident@Romans:4:11 @ And he received the sign of circumcision as a seal of the righteousness of faith that he had in uncircumcision, so that he should be the father of all who believe while uncircumcised, and righteousness should be credited to them;

riversident@Romans:4:13 @ It was not through the Law that the promise came to Abraham or to his descendants that he should be the heir of the world, but through the righteousness of faith.

riversident@Romans:4:16 @ Therefore all depends on faith, that it may be of grace, and thus the promise be sure for all his descendants, not only those who are of the Law, but also those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of all of us

riversident@Romans:4:20 @ Still he did not hesitate through want of faith in the promise of God, but was strong in faith, thus giving glory to God,

riversident@Romans:4:22 @ Therefore it was credited to him for righteousness.

riversident@Romans:4:24 @ but also for our sake, to whom it will be credited if we believe in him who raised up from the dead Jesus our Lord,

riversident@Romans:4:25 @ who was delivered up on account of our sins and was raised again that we might be accounted righteous.

riversident@Romans:5:1 @ SO then, since we have been accounted righteous by faith, let us have peace with God, through our Lord Jesus Christ.

riversident@Romans:5:5 @ and hope does not disappoint, for the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit granted to us.

riversident@Romans:5:6 @ For while we were still without strength Christ, at the due time, died for the unrighteous.

riversident@Romans:5:7 @ Hardly for a righteous man will any one die. For a good man some one perhaps may dare to die.

riversident@Romans:5:8 @ But God shows his own love to us in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us.

riversident@Romans:5:9 @ Much more then, now that we have been pronounced righteous through his blood, shall we be saved from wrath by him.

riversident@Romans:5:11 @ And not only so, but we exult in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now obtained the reconciliation.

riversident@Romans:5:15 @ But the gracious gift is not like the fall. For if by the fall of the one the many sinned, much more did the grace of God and the free gift by the grace of the one man Jesus Christ abound to the many.

riversident@Romans:5:16 @ And the free gift was not like the sentence that came through one who sinned; for the sentence came from one fall for condemnation, but the free gift was that men should be called righteous in spite of many falls.

riversident@Romans:5:17 @ For if by the fall of one man death reigned through that one, much more those who receive the abounding grace and the free gift of righteousness will reign in life through one, that is, through Jesus Christ.

riversident@Romans:5:18 @ As then through one fall sentence came upon all men and they were condemned; so through one righteous act the free gift came to all men so that they are pronounced righteous and live.

riversident@Romans:5:19 @ For as by the disobedience of the one man the many were set down as sinners, so by the obedience of the one the many will be set down as righteous.

riversident@Romans:5:21 @ in order that as sin reigned in death grace might reign through righteousness and issue in life eternal through Jesus Christ our Lord.

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

riversident@Romans:6:7 @ For one who has died has been pronounced righteous and free from sin.

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

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

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

riversident@Romans:6:15 @ What then? May we sin because we are not under law, but under grace? Never.

riversident@Romans:6:16 @ Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves as servants intending obedience, you are the servants of the one you obey, whether of sin, resulting in death, or of obedience, resulting in righteousness?

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

riversident@Romans:6:19 @ I am speaking humanly on account of the weakness of your human nature. As you did present your members as servants to impurity and to lawlessness to do lawlessness, so now you have presented your members as servants to righteousness for holy living.

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

riversident@Romans:6:23 @ For the wages of sin is death, but the gracious gift of God is life eternal in Christ Jesus our Lord.

riversident@Romans:7:2 @ For a married woman is by law bound to her husband while he is living. But if the husband dies, she is freed from the law of her husband.

riversident@Romans:7:3 @ Therefore while her husband is living she is called an adulteress if she becomes another man's. But if her husband dies she is free from the law, so that she is not an adulteress when she becomes another man's.

riversident@Romans:7:6 @ But now the Law has been made inoperative on us, since we have died to that by which we were held, so that we serve in newness of the spirit and not in oldness of the letter.

riversident@Romans:7:7 @ What shall we say then? Is the Law sin? Never. But I should not have come to know sin except through the Law. I should not have known lust if the Law had not said, "Thou shalt not lust."

riversident@Romans:7:8 @ Sin, taking occasion through the commandment, worked in me every lust. For apart from the Law sin is dead.

riversident@Romans:7:12 @ So the Law is holy and the commandment is holy and just and good.

riversident@Romans:7:25 @ Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then I myself with my mind serve the Law of God, but with my flesh the law of sin.

riversident@Romans:8:1 @ THERE is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus.

riversident@Romans:8:2 @ For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has freed you from the Law of sin and death.

riversident@Romans:8:3 @ For, what was impossible for the Law, because it was weak through the flesh \'97 God, sending his own Son in the form of sinful flesh and for sin, condemned the sin that is in the flesh,

riversident@Romans:8:4 @ so that the righteousness required by the Law might be fulfilled in us who live not according to the flesh, but according to the spirit.

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

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

riversident@Romans:8:18 @ For I estimate that the sufferings of this present time amount to nothing in comparison with the glory that is to be revealed for us.

riversident@Romans:8:21 @ because the creation itself will be freed from the slavery of decay into the glorious freedom of the children of God.

riversident@Romans:8:26 @ Thus also the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit itself intercedes for us with sighs beyond words.

riversident@Romans:8:27 @ And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because he intercedes for the holy according to the will of God.

riversident@Romans:8:30 @ And those whom he predetermined he also called, and those whom he called he also pronounced righteous, and those whom he pronounced righteous he also glorified.

riversident@Romans:8:31 @ What then shall we say to this? If God is for us, who is against us?

riversident@Romans:8:32 @ He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all, how shall he not with him graciously give us all things?

riversident@Romans:8:33 @ Who shall bring a charge against God's elect? God pronounces them righteous.

riversident@Romans:8:34 @ Who is there to condemn? Christ Jesus died, or rather was raised, and he is on the right hand of God interceding for us.

riversident@Romans:8:35 @ Who shall separate us from Christ's love? Shall trial or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?

riversident@Romans:8:37 @ On the contrary, in all these we more than conquer through him who loved us.

riversident@Romans:8:39 @ nor height nor depth nor any other created thing will be able to separate us from God's love in Christ Jesus our Lord.

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

riversident@Romans:9:14 @ What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness on God's part? Never.

riversident@Romans:9:24 @ called us not only from the Jews but also from the Gentiles?

riversident@Romans:9:29 @ Even as Isaiah predicted, "Unless the Lord of armies had left us some descendants, we should have become like Sodom and should have been made to resemble Gomorrah."

riversident@Romans:9:30 @ What shall we say then? That Gentiles who did not pursue righteousness obtained righteousness, the righteousness of faith,

riversident@Romans:9:31 @ but Israel pursuing after the Law of righteousness did not attain to the Law.

riversident@Romans:9:32 @ Why? Because they pursued it not by faith, but as it were by works. They stumbled over that stumbling stone,

riversident@Romans:10:3 @ For, ignorant of God's righteousness and seeking to establish their own, they have not submitted to God's righteousness.

riversident@Romans:10:4 @ For Christ is the end of the Law for righteousness to every believer.

riversident@Romans:10:5 @ For Moses writes that he who does the righteousness of the Law shall live by it.

riversident@Romans:10:6 @ But the righteousness of faith says, "Do not say in your heart, 'Who shall ascend into heaven?' that is, to bring Christ down \'97 "

riversident@Romans:10:9 @ that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead you will be saved.

riversident@Romans:10:10 @ For with the heart a man believes and becomes righteous, and with the mouth he confesses and attains salvation.

riversident@Romans:10:19 @ I say, it cannot be that Israel did not know, can it? First Moses says, "I will excite you to jealousy by what is not a nation and by a foolish nation I will provoke you to anger."

riversident@Romans:11:4 @ But what was the divine response? "I have left to myself seven thousand men who have not knelt to Baal."

riversident@Romans:11:5 @ So at this present time there is a remnant according to a gracious selection.

riversident@Romans:11:6 @ But if it is by grace it is no longer because of works, for then grace would be no longer grace.

riversident@Romans:11:11 @ I say, then, have they stumbled just in order that they may fall? Never. But by their fall salvation comes to the Gentiles so as to arouse the emulation of the Jews.

riversident@Romans:11:14 @ if in any way I may arouse to emulation my own kindred and save some of them \'97

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

riversident@Romans:11:26 @ and thus all Israel will be saved, as it is written, "From Zion will come the deliverer. He will remove ungodliness from Jacob.

riversident@Romans:12:6 @ Having gifts differing according to the grace given to us, if it is prophecy, let us use it according to the proportion of our faith;

riversident@Romans:12:7 @ if it is service, let us use it in service. Let the teacher use his gift in teaching.

riversident@Romans:12:8 @ Let the exhorter use his gift in exhorting. Let him who gives do it in simplicity. Let him who manages do it earnestly. Let him who helps the needy do it cheerfully.

riversident@Romans:13:5 @ Therefore we must be obedient, not only because of the punishment but as a matter of conscience.

riversident@Romans:13:7 @ Pay to all their dues, tribute to whom tribute is due, custom to whom custom is due, respect to whom respect is due, honor to whom honor is due.

riversident@Romans:13:11 @ Live thus because you know this crisis, for it is already time for you to awake from sleep. For now our salvation is nearer than when we became believers.

riversident@Romans:13:12 @ The night is far spent, the day draws near. Let us put away the deeds of darkness, let us put on the weapons of light.

riversident@Romans:13:13 @ Let us live becomingly as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in sensuality and licentiousness, not in quarrelling and jealousy.

riversident@Romans:13:14 @ But put on the Lord Jesus Christ and make no provision for gratifying physical passions.

riversident@Romans:14:7 @ For no one of us is living for himself and no one dies for himself.

riversident@Romans:14:12 @ So then each one of us shall give account for himself to God.

riversident@Romans:14:13 @ Therefore let us no longer judge one another, but let us rather decide not to put a stumbling block in a brother's way, or anything to trip him up.

riversident@Romans:14:14 @ I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is defiling in itself. But to one who thinks anything to be defiling it is defiling.

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

riversident@Romans:14:17 @ For the kingdom of God is not food and drink, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

riversident@Romans:14:18 @ For he who thus serves Christ is pleasing to God and esteemed by men.

riversident@Romans:14:19 @ Therefore, let us seek for what makes for peace and our mutual upbuilding.

riversident@Romans:14:23 @ He who has doubts and still eats stands condemned, because he is not acting from faith. But whatever does not spring from faith is sin.

riversident@Romans:15:2 @ Each of us should please his neighbor for his good so as to build him up.

riversident@Romans:15:5 @ May the God of patience and encouragement grant to you to have harmony with one another, in the manner of Christ Jesus,

riversident@Romans:15:6 @ so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

riversident@Romans:15:7 @ Therefore, welcome one another as Christ welcomed us, to the glory of God.

riversident@Romans:15:15 @ But I have written rather boldly to you, partly to remind you, because of the grace given to me from God,

riversident@Romans:15:16 @ that I may be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles, in priestly service of the good news of God, in order that the offering of the Gentiles may be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

riversident@Romans:15:17 @ I do boast in Christ Jesus of my work for God.

riversident@Romans:15:19 @ through the power of signs and wonders, by the power of the Holy Spirit, so that from Jerusalem around to Illyricum, I have fully proclaimed the good news of Christ,

riversident@Romans:15:20 @ being ambitious to tell the good news where Christ has not been named, so that I might not build on any other man's foundation,

riversident@Romans:15:25 @ But now I am on my way to Jerusalem to render service to the holy.

riversident@Romans:15:26 @ For Macedonia and Achaia have been pleased to make a contribution for the poor among the holy in Jerusalem.

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

riversident@Romans:15:31 @ that I may be delivered from the unbelievers in Judaea and that my service in Jerusalem may be pleasing to the holy,

riversident@Romans:16:3 @ Give my greetings to Prisca and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus,

riversident@Romans:16:5 @ Give my greetings also to the church in their house. Give my greetings to Epaenetus my beloved, who is the first-fruit of Asia for Christ.

riversident@Romans:16:7 @ Give my greetings to Andronicus and Junias, men of my race and my companions in prison, who are eminent among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me.

riversident@Romans:16:8 @ Give my greetings to Ampliatus my beloved in the Lord.

riversident@Romans:16:9 @ Give my greetings to Urbanus our fellow worker in Christ, and to Stachys my beloved.

riversident@Romans:16:10 @ Give my greetings to Apelles, that tested man in Christ. Give my greetings to the household of Aristobulus.

riversident@Romans:16:11 @ Give my greetings to Herodion, who is of my race. Give my greetings to those of the household of Narcissus who are in the Lord.

riversident@Romans:16:13 @ Give my greetings to Rufus the chosen in the Lord, and to his mother and mine.

riversident@Romans:16:14 @ Give my greetings to Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Petrobas, Hermas, and the brethren with them.

riversident@Romans:16:15 @ Give my greetings to Philologus, and Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas, and all the holy with them.

riversident@Romans:16:20 @ The God of peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you!

riversident@Romans:16:21 @ Timothy, my fellow worker, sends his greeting, and so do Lucius and Jason and Sosipater, who are of my race.

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

riversident@Romans:16:23 @ Gaius, my host and the host of the whole church, sends his greetings. Erastus the city treasurer sends his greetings, and so does Quartus the brother.

riversident@Romans:16:25 @ To him who is able to make you strong according to the good news which I bear, and the proclamation of Jesus Christ, and according to the revelation of the mystery kept secret through ages,

riversident@Romans:16:27 @ to God, the only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for the ages of the ages!

riversident@1Corinthians:1:1 @ PAUL called by the will of God to be an apostle of Christ Jesus, and Sosthenes our brother,

riversident@1Corinthians:1:2 @ to the Church of God in Corinth, made holy in Christ Jesus, called to be holy, with all everywhere who call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours:

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

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

riversident@1Corinthians:1:7 @ and so that you are not lacking in any gift while waiting for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed.

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

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

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

riversident@1Corinthians:1:14 @ I am thankful that I baptized no one of you except Crispus and Gaius,

riversident@1Corinthians:1:16 @ I baptized also the household of Stephanas. Beyond that I do not know that I baptized any one else.

riversident@1Corinthians:1:18 @ For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

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

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

riversident@1Corinthians:2:10 @ To us God has revealed this by his Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God.

riversident@1Corinthians:2:11 @ For who of men knows what pertains to a man except the spirit of the man which is in him. Just so no one knows what pertains to God except the Spirit of God.

riversident@1Corinthians:2:12 @ But we did not receive the spirit of the world, but the Spirit that is from God, so that we know the gracious gifts of God.

riversident@1Corinthians:2:14 @ But the animal man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, nor can he know them because they are spiritually understood.

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

riversident@1Corinthians:3:5 @ What then is Apollos? What is Paul? Servants through whom you were led to faith, as the Lord granted to each of us.

riversident@1Corinthians:3:11 @ For no one can lay any other foundation than that which has been laid, which is Jesus Christ.

riversident@1Corinthians:3:13 @ every one's work will become manifest. For the day will show it, because it will be revealed in fire and the fire will test each one's work, of what quality it is.

riversident@1Corinthians:4:1 @ LET a man view us as servants of Christ and stewards of God's mysteries.

riversident@1Corinthians:4:4 @ For I am not conscious of any wrong, but I am not proved by that to be faultless. The Lord is my judge.

riversident@1Corinthians:4:8 @ You are already fully satisfied. You have already become rich. You have become kings without us. Would that you had become kings so that we might be kings with you!

riversident@1Corinthians:4:9 @ For it seems to me that God has set us apostles out last of all as men doomed to death, that we may be a spectacle to the world and to angels and to men.

riversident@1Corinthians:4:12 @ and labor, working with our own hands. When abused we bless, when persecuted we endure it,

riversident@1Corinthians:4:15 @ For if you have ten thousand teachers in Christ, still you have not many fathers. For I was your father in Christ Jesus through the good news.

riversident@1Corinthians:5:3 @ For I, absent in body, but present in spirit, have already as if I were present judged the man who has acted thus.

riversident@1Corinthians:5:4 @ When you assembled in the name of the Lord Jesus and my spirit was also present with the power of our Lord Jesus,

riversident@1Corinthians:5:8 @ So let us keep the festival, not with the old yeast nor with the yeast of evil and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

riversident@1Corinthians:5:10 @ certainly not meaning the unchaste of this world, or the covetous or extortionate or idolaters, since in that case you would have to leave the world.

riversident@1Corinthians:5:11 @ But now I write to you not to associate with any one who is called a brother, if he is unchaste or covetous or idolatrous or abusive or drunken or extortionate \'97 not even to eat with such a one.

riversident@1Corinthians:5:12 @ For what business of mine is it to judge outsiders? Is it not for you to judge those inside?

riversident@1Corinthians:7:2 @ But because of the prevailing unchastity, let each man have his own wife and each woman her own husband.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:4 @ The wife has not power over her own body, but her husband has. In the same way the husband has not power over his own body, but his wife has.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:13 @ And if any woman has a husband who is an unbeliever and he is pleased to live with her, let her not put him away.

riversident@1Corinthians:7:14 @ For the unbelieving husband has been made holy by the wife and the unbelieving wife has been made holy by the husband. Otherwise your children would be impure, but now they are holy.

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

riversident@1Corinthians:7:22 @ For the slave who has been called in the Lord is the Lord's freedman. Just so the free man, when called, is the slave of Christ.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:23 @ For I received from the Lord that which I passed on to you that the Lord Jesus, on the night in which he was betrayed, took bread,

riversident@1Corinthians:12:2 @ For you know that when you were Gentiles you were led away after the dumb idols just as might happen.

riversident@1Corinthians:12:3 @ Therefore I inform you that no one speaking in the Spirit of God says, "Jesus is accursed," and no one can say, "Jesus is Lord," except in the Holy Spirit.

riversident@1Corinthians:13:11 @ When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. Since I have become a man, I have no use for childish things.

riversident@1Corinthians:14:8 @ If the trumpet gives a dubious sound, who will prepare himself for battle?

riversident@1Corinthians:14:19 @ But in church I would rather speak five words with my understanding so as to instruct others, than to speak ten thousand words in a tongue.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:9 @ For I am the least of the apostles and am not fit to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

riversident@1Corinthians:15:15 @ And we are found false witnesses of God because we testified regarding God that he raised up Christ, whom he did not raise if the dead are not raised.

riversident@2Corinthians:1:3 @ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of loving kindness and the God of all encouragement,

riversident@2Corinthians:1:4 @ who encourages us in every distress so that we may be able to encourage those who are in every distress by the encouragement by which we ourselves have been encouraged by God.

riversident@2Corinthians:1:5 @ Because as the sufferings of Christ are abundant in our case, so through Christ our encouragement is abundant.

riversident@2Corinthians:1:8 @ For we do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, regarding the distress that came on us in Asia \'97 that we were exceedingly weighed down, beyond our strength, so that we despaired even of life.

riversident@2Corinthians:1:9 @ Indeed we have the sentence of death within ourselves, that our trust may not rest on ourselves, but on God who raises the dead.

riversident@2Corinthians:1:10 @ He delivered us from such a death and will deliver, and we have hope in him that he will go on delivering,

riversident@2Corinthians:1:11 @ while you help by your prayers for us, so that from many persons thanksgiving may arise for the gift granted to us through the prayers of many for us.

riversident@2Corinthians:1:14 @ as you have partly acknowledged it about us, that we are your ground of boasting and you are ours on the day of our Lord Jesus.

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

riversident@2Corinthians:1:20 @ For all the promises of God, however many, have their yes in him. Therefore also through him is the Amen to the glory of God through us.

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

riversident@2Corinthians:1:22 @ and sealed us and has given the pledge of the Spirit in our hearts.

riversident@2Corinthians:2:5 @ But if any one has caused grief, he has grieved not me, but to some extent \'97 not to be too severe \'97 all of you.

riversident@2Corinthians:2:13 @ I had no rest in my spirit because I did not find Titus my brother, but bidding them farewell I came away to Macedonia.

riversident@2Corinthians:3:8 @ how much more glorious will not the service of the Spirit be?

riversident@2Corinthians:3:9 @ For if the service that brought condemnation was glory, much more will the service that brings righteousness surpass in glory.

riversident@2Corinthians:3:10 @ For what was made so glorious is in a way no longer glorious compared with the glory that surpasses it.

riversident@2Corinthians:3:11 @ For if what was to be ended came in glory, much more glorious must be that which is enduring.

riversident@2Corinthians:3:13 @ and are not like Moses, who used to put a veil over his face so that the children of Israel might not see when the vanishing glory ended;

riversident@2Corinthians:3:14 @ but their thinking was dulled. For to this day the same veil remains unlifted when the old covenant is read; because it is done away only in Christ.

riversident@2Corinthians:4:4 @ in whom the god of this world has blinded the thinking of the unbelieving so that the light of the glorious good news of Christ, who is the image of God, may not shine in.

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

riversident@2Corinthians:4:6 @ Because it is the God who said, "Light shall shine out of darkness," who has shone in our hearts bringing the light of the glorious knowledge of God in the face of Christ.

riversident@2Corinthians:4:10 @ always bearing about in our bodies the death of Jesus that the life also of Jesus may be manifest in our bodies.

riversident@2Corinthians:4:11 @ For we, though living, are always delivered up to death for Jesus' sake, that also the life of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh.

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

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

riversident@2Corinthians:4:17 @ For our momentary and light distress is working out for us a far surpassing and eternal weight of glory

riversident@2Corinthians:5:5 @ He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, and he has given to us the pledge of the Spirit.

riversident@2Corinthians:5:9 @ Therefore also we are ambitious to be pleasing to him, whether at home with him or in this foreign land.

riversident@2Corinthians:5:10 @ For we must all appear as we truly are before the judgment seat of Christ, that each may receive the award for what he has done with his body, according to his actions, whether good or bad.

riversident@2Corinthians:5:12 @ We are not recommending ourselves again to you, but giving occasion to you for boasting on our behalf, that you may have it to use against those who boast of appearances and not of heart.

riversident@2Corinthians:5:14 @ For the love of Christ impels us, convinced of this, that if one died for all, then all died,

riversident@2Corinthians:5:18 @ And all things are from God, who has reconciled us to himself through Christ and given to us the service of reconciliation \'97

riversident@2Corinthians:5:19 @ to proclaim that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not counting against men their sins, and that he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.

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

riversident@2Corinthians:5:21 @ Him who knew no sin God made sin for our sake that we might become the righteousness of God in him.

riversident@2Corinthians:6:14 @ Do not be yoked up, like unmatched animals, with unbelievers. For what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship has light with darkness,

riversident@2Corinthians:7:1 @ HAVING then these promises, beloved, let us purify ourselves from every defilement of flesh or spirit, in reverence for God making our holiness complete.

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

riversident@2Corinthians:7:6 @ But God, who encourages the depressed, encouraged us by the coming of Titus,

riversident@2Corinthians:7:7 @ and not by his coming only, but also by the encouragement by which he was encouraged about you. He told us of your longing for me, your lamentation, your zeal in my behalf, so that I rejoice the more.

riversident@2Corinthians:7:9 @ but I am glad now, not that you were grieved, but that your grief led to a change of heart. You were grieved as God approves so that you should in nothing suffer loss from us.

riversident@2Corinthians:7:11 @ Notice this very grieving as God approves, how great earnestness resulted from it in your case, what effort to defend yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what longing, what zeal, what just punishment! In everything you showed yourselves blameless in the matter.

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

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

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

riversident@2Corinthians:8:1 @ I MUST tell you, brethren, of the grace of God that has been given to the churches of Macedonia,

riversident@2Corinthians:8:4 @ with great urgency they begged of us the favor of fellowship in the service for the holy,

riversident@2Corinthians:8:5 @ and this not as we had hoped, but first they gave themselves to the Lord and to us through the will of God.

riversident@2Corinthians:8:6 @ Therefore we encouraged Titus that as he had begun so he should complete this grace among you.

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

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

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

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

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

riversident@2Corinthians:8:19 @ and not only that, but he was appointed by the churches as our fellow traveler in this gracious errand carried out by us to the glory of the Lord himself and by our own eager desire.

riversident@2Corinthians:8:20 @ We are taking care that no one shall blame us for our administration of this bountiful fund,

riversident@2Corinthians:8:22 @ We are sending along with them also our brother whose earnestness we have tested many times in many ways, and who is now especially earnest because of his great confidence in you.

riversident@2Corinthians:8:23 @ If any one asks about Titus, he is my intimate friend and fellow worker for you. If it is our brethren, they are the messengers of the churches, the glory of Christ.

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

riversident@2Corinthians:9:9 @ as it is written, "He scattered, he gave to the poor, his righteousness endures forever."

riversident@2Corinthians:9:10 @ He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and make abundant your seed and will increase the fruits of your righteousness.

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

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

riversident@2Corinthians:10:2 @ I pray that I may not when present have to be bold with the confidence with which I expect to show my courage against some who think of us as living according to the flesh.

riversident@2Corinthians:10:7 @ Look at what is right before your eyes. If any one is confident that he belongs to Christ, let him again consider this regarding himself, that just as he belongs to Christ so also do we.

riversident@2Corinthians:10:10 @ Because, "His letters," they say, "are mighty and strong, but his bodily presence is weak and his speaking amounts to nothing."

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

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

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

riversident@2Corinthians:11:7 @ Did I commit a sin when I humbled myself that you might be exalted, because I proclaimed to you the good news of God without pay?

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

riversident@2Corinthians:11:12 @ But what I am doing I shall do so as to cut away all ground of attack from those who wish ground, and that in what they boast of they may be found just like us.

riversident@2Corinthians:11:15 @ So it is no great thing if his servants too disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will be according to their deeds.

riversident@2Corinthians:11:30 @ If there must be boasting, I will boast of the things that show my weakness.

riversident@2Corinthians:11:31 @ The God and Father of the Lord Jesus knows, he who is blessed forever, that I am not lying.

riversident@2Corinthians:11:32 @ In Damascus the Governor under King Aretas was guarding the city of the Damascenes to arrest me,

riversident@2Corinthians:12:1 @ I MUST boast, though it is unprofitable. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.

riversident@2Corinthians:12:7 @ and because of the surpassing nature of the revelations. For this reason, that I should not be puffed up, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, an angel of Satan, to torment me, so that I should not be puffed up.

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

riversident@2Corinthians:12:20 @ For I am afraid that when I come I shall not find you such as I wish, and I myself may not be found by you such as you wish. I am afraid that there may be strife, jealousy, anger, rivalry, slanders, whisperings, conceit, disorders.

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

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

riversident@Galatians:2:10 @ Only they wished us to remember the poor. This very thing I also was earnest in doing.

riversident@Galatians:2:11 @ But when Peter came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he had been justly censured.

riversident@Galatians:2:16 @ knowing that a man is not declared righteous because of works of law, but through faith in Christ Jesus, we also have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be declared righteous because of faith in Christ, and not because of works of law, for because of works of law no human being will be declared righteous.

riversident@Galatians:2:17 @ If while seeking to be declared righteous in Christ we ourselves are found sinners, is Christ then a servant of sin? Never.

riversident@Galatians:3:5 @ He who supplies to you the Spirit and works miracles among you, is he doing it because of works of law or because of hearing with faith,

riversident@Galatians:3:6 @ just as Abraham had faith in God and it was credited to him for righteousness?

riversident@Galatians:3:8 @ For the Scripture, foreseeing that God would declare the Gentiles righteous because of faith, announced the good news in advance to Abraham, "In you all the Gentiles will be blessed."

riversident@Galatians:3:11 @ But that by law no one is declared righteous before God is plain, because, "He who is righteous by faith shall live."

riversident@Galatians:3:13 @ Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law by becoming a curse for our sake, for it is written, "Cursed is every one who hangs on a tree,"

riversident@Galatians:3:14 @ in order that the blessing of Abraham might in Jesus Christ come on the Gentiles, that they might receive through faith the promise of the Spirit.

riversident@Galatians:3:21 @ Is the Law then against the promises of God? Never! For if a law had been given which could give life, then really righteousness would have come by law.

riversident@Galatians:3:22 @ But the Scripture has shut up all under sin that the promise based on faith in Jesus Christ may be given to those who have faith.

riversident@Galatians:3:24 @ Thus the Law became our tutor leading us to Christ, that we might be declared righteous by faith.

riversident@Galatians:3:26 @ You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.

riversident@Galatians:3:28 @ There cannot be Jew or Greek, slave or free, male or female: for you all are one in Christ Jesus.

riversident@Galatians:4:6 @ Because you are sons, God has sent into our hearts the Spirit of his Son crying Abba, Father.

riversident@Galatians:4:11 @ You make me afraid that I have labored over you uselessly.

riversident@Galatians:4:13 @ You know that because of weakness of the flesh I told you the good news at first.

riversident@Galatians:4:14 @ And you did not despise or spurn what was a trial to you in my bodily condition, but welcomed me as you would an angel of God, as you would Christ Jesus.

riversident@Galatians:4:16 @ Have I become your enemy because I tell you the truth?

riversident@Galatians:4:25 @ Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia. She represents the present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery along with her children.

riversident@Galatians:4:26 @ But the Jerusalem on high is free and she is our mother.

riversident@Galatians:4:27 @ For it is written, "Rejoice, O barren one, you who do not bear! Break forth and shout, you who feel no birth pangs! For many are the children of the desolate \'97 more than those of her who has a husband."

riversident@Galatians:4:29 @ But just as then he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so it is now.

riversident@Galatians:5:1 @ STAND firm, therefore, in the freedom with which Christ set us free, and do not wear any yoke of slavery.

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

riversident@Galatians:5:4 @ You have put an end to Christ's work for you, you who are declared righteous by law; you have fallen away from grace.

riversident@Galatians:5:5 @ For we in the Spirit because of faith are waiting for the hope of righteousness.

riversident@Galatians:5:6 @ For in Christ Jesus neither has circumcision any value nor uncircumcision, but faith working through love.

riversident@Galatians:5:10 @ I am persuaded in regard to you in the Lord that you will have no other mind. He who is troubling you must bear his condemnation, whoever he may be.

riversident@Galatians:5:19 @ The works of the flesh are obvious, such as unchastity, impurity, indecency,

riversident@Galatians:5:20 @ idolatry, magic, hatred, strife, jealousy, anger, rivalries, dissensions, factions,

riversident@Galatians:5:24 @ Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its emotions and passions.

riversident@Galatians:5:25 @ If we are living in the Spirit let us direct our lives by the Spirit.

riversident@Galatians:5:26 @ Let us not be vainglorious, irritating one another, envying one another.

riversident@Galatians:6:5 @ For each must bear his own load.

riversident@Galatians:6:9 @ Let us not grow discouraged in doing what is noble, for in due time we shall reap if we do not grow faint.

riversident@Galatians:6:10 @ So then as we have opportunity let us work for the good of all men, and especially of those who belong to the household of the faith.

riversident@Galatians:6:14 @ But let me never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world is crucified to me and I to the world.

riversident@Galatians:6:17 @ For the future let no one trouble me; for I bear on my body the brands of Jesus.

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

riversident@Ephesians:1:1 @ PAUL, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, to the Holy who are at Ephesus, faithful in Christ Jesus:

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

riversident@Ephesians:1:3 @ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly heights in Christ,

riversident@Ephesians:1:4 @ even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world to be holy and spotless before him in love.

riversident@Ephesians:1:5 @ He predestined us to recognition as sons to himself through Jesus Christ according to the kindness of his will,

riversident@Ephesians:1:6 @ to the praise of his glorious grace which he bestowed on us in the Beloved,

riversident@Ephesians:1:8 @ which he made to abound toward us in all wisdom and understanding.

riversident@Ephesians:1:9 @ He has made known to us the mystery of his will according to his grace which he purposed in him

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

riversident@Ephesians:1:17 @ that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father most glorious, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of himself,

riversident@Ephesians:1:18 @ enlightening the eyes of your heart, that you may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the glorious wealth of his inheritance in the holy,

riversident@Ephesians:1:19 @ and what the surpassing greatness of his power toward us who believe according to the inworking of his vast might,

riversident@Ephesians:2:4 @ But God, who is rich in mercy, because of his great love with which he loved us,

riversident@Ephesians:2:5 @ even when we were dead in misdeeds, made us alive along with Christ \'97 by grace we have been saved \'97

riversident@Ephesians:2:6 @ and raised us up with him and made us sit with him in the heavenly heights in Christ Jesus,

riversident@Ephesians:2:7 @ that he might show in the ages to come the surpassing richness of his grace in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.

riversident@Ephesians:2:10 @ For we are his work, formed in Christ Jesus for good works in which God had prepared beforehand to have us live.

riversident@Ephesians:2:15 @ In his own flesh he has ended the force of the law of commandments in ordinances in order to make the two, in himself, into one new man, thus making peace,

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

riversident@Ephesians:2:20 @ built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the corner stone.

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

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

riversident@Ephesians:3:6 @ namely, that the Gentiles are fellow heirs and fellow members of the body, fellow sharers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the good news,

riversident@Ephesians:3:11 @ according to the eternal purpose which he has accomplished by Christ Jesus our Lord,

riversident@Ephesians:3:13 @ So I beg you not to lose heart because of the distresses that come on me for your sake. They are a high honor to you.

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

riversident@Ephesians:3:21 @ to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus through all the generations of the ages! Amen.

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

riversident@Ephesians:4:7 @ To each one of us grace was given according to the measure of the gift of Christ.

riversident@Ephesians:4:16 @ from whom the whole body framed together and strengthened by what every joint supplies vigorously, in the measure of each, makes growth in building itself up in love.

riversident@Ephesians:4:28 @ He who steals must steal no longer, but rather he must labor, working with his own hands something good, so as to have something to share with any one in need.

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

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

riversident@Ephesians:5:2 @ and live in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself for us, an offering and sacrifice to God yielding a fragrant odor.

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

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

riversident@Ephesians:5:9 @ for the fruit of light appears in all generosity and righteousness and truth \'97

riversident@Ephesians:5:23 @ because a man is the head of his wife as Christ is the head of the church and he is the savior of the body.

riversident@Ephesians:5:24 @ But as the church is subject to Christ, so wives are to their husbands in everything.

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

riversident@Ephesians:5:27 @ that he might present to himself the church glorious, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but holy and faultless.

riversident@Ephesians:5:28 @ Thus ought men to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself,

riversident@Ephesians:5:29 @ for no one ever hates his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church,

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

riversident@Ephesians:6:14 @ Stand, then, belted with truth, wearing the breastplate of righteousness,

riversident@Philippians:1:1 @ PAUL and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus, to all the Holy in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, with Bishops and Deacons:

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

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

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

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

riversident@Philippians:1:11 @ filled with the fruit of knowledge through Jesus Christ to the glory and praise of God.

riversident@Philippians:1:14 @ and the most of the brethren in the Lord, made confident by my chains, are unusually brave in speaking the message fearlessly.

riversident@Philippians:1:15 @ Some indeed proclaim Christ because of envy and rivalry, some also because of good will.

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

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

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

riversident@Philippians:2:3 @ doing nothing in a partisan or vainglorious way, but each modestly regarding the others as of more account than himself.

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

riversident@Philippians:2:9 @ Therefore, God has highly exalted him and has graciously given him the name which is above every name,

riversident@Philippians:2:10 @ that at the name of Jesus every knee may bow, of beings in heaven and those on earth and those under the earth,

riversident@Philippians:2:11 @ and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

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

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

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

riversident@Philippians:2:21 @ For all pursue their own aims, not those of Christ Jesus.

riversident@Philippians:2:24 @ And I trust in the Lord that I myself shall come quickly.

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

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

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

riversident@Philippians:3:3 @ For we are the circumcision, we who worship in the Spirit of God and exult in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh,

riversident@Philippians:3:6 @ as to zeal persecuting the church, as to the righteousness of the Law blameless.

riversident@Philippians:3:8 @ Yes, I count all to be loss because of the surpassing worth of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things and count them but refuse, that I may gain Christ

riversident@Philippians:3:9 @ and be found in him, not having my own righteousness that was from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God and rests on faith,

riversident@Philippians:3:12 @ Not that I have already obtained it or have already been made perfect, but I press on to lay hold of that for which I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus.

riversident@Philippians:3:14 @ I press toward the goal for the prize of the heavenly call of God in Christ Jesus.

riversident@Philippians:3:15 @ Let us all who are full grown think in this way. If in anything you think differently, even that God will reveal to you,

riversident@Philippians:3:16 @ but so far as we have attained let us walk in the same path.

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

riversident@Philippians:3:20 @ For the state of which we are citizens is in the heavens and from there we are expecting a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.

riversident@Philippians:4:1 @ SO, my brethren beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, stand firm thus in the Lord, beloved.

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

riversident@Philippians:4:8 @ To conclude, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is dignified, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovable, whatever is highly spoken of \'97 if there is any virtue or any praise \'97 think of that.

riversident@Philippians:4:11 @ Not that I am speaking because of want; for I have learned how to be content in whatever circumstances I am.

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

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

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

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

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

riversident@Colossians:1:1 @ PAUL, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother,

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

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

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

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

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

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

riversident@Colossians:1:13 @ He has saved us from the power of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of his beloved Son,

riversident@Colossians:1:19 @ because it pleased God to have all his fullness dwell in him

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

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

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

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

riversident@Colossians:2:14 @ He erased the writing that was against us in the rules, the writing that was opposed to us. He has taken it out of the way by nailing it to his cross.

riversident@Colossians:2:22 @ referring to things that perish when used?

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

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

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

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

riversident@Colossians:3:18 @ Wives, be in subjection to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.

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

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

riversident@Colossians:4:1 @ MASTERS, give to your slaves what is just and equal, for you know that you have a Master in heaven.

riversident@Colossians:4:3 @ Pray along with us and for us that God may open for us a door for the message, so that I may tell the mystery of Christ for the sake of which I am in chains \'97

riversident@Colossians:4:7 @ Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful worker and fellow servant in the Lord, will tell you everything about me.

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

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

riversident@Colossians:4:11 @ and so does Jesus who is called Justus. These alone of those who are circumcised are my fellow workers for the kingdom of God, and they have been a comfort to me.

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

riversident@Colossians:4:15 @ Give our greeting to the brethren in Laodicea and to Nympha and the church that meets in her house.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

riversident@1Thessalonians:1:10 @ and to wait for his Son from heaven \'97 his Son Jesus whom he raised from the dead and who is saving us from the coming wrath.

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:4 @ but as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the good news, so we speak, not as if we were pleasing men, but God, who tests our hearts.

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

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

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

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

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

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

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:15 @ who killed both the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and drove us out and do not please God and are enemies to all men,

riversident@1Thessalonians:2:16 @ trying to prevent us from speaking to the Gentiles so that they may be saved. All this goes always to fill up the measure of their sins. But God's fiercest wrath has overtaken them.

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

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

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

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

riversident@1Thessalonians:3:11 @ May our God and Father himself and our Lord Jesus Christ open the way for us to come to you.

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

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

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

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

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:5 @ not in the passion of lust, as the Gentiles do who know not God;

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:7 @ God has not called us to live in impurity, but in holiness.

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

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

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:14 @ For since, as we believe, Jesus died and rose, so too God will through Jesus bring with him those who have fallen asleep.

riversident@1Thessalonians:4:17 @ Then we, the living, who are left, will be caught up along with them into the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall forever be with the Lord.

riversident@1Thessalonians:5:6 @ Then let us not be sleeping like the rest of men, but let us watch and be sober.

riversident@1Thessalonians:5:8 @ But let us who are of the day be sober. Let us put on the breastplate of faith and love and for a helmet the hope of salvation.

riversident@1Thessalonians:5:9 @ For God has not destined us to wrath, but to the winning of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

riversident@1Thessalonians:5:10 @ who died for us that whether we are waking or sleeping we may live in company with him.

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

riversident@2Thessalonians:1:4 @ so that we ourselves glory in you among the churches of God because of your endurance and faith in all of your persecutions and in the distresses you are bearing.

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

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

riversident@2Thessalonians:1:7 @ and to repay to you, who are being troubled, rest with us at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with his mighty angels.

riversident@2Thessalonians:1:8 @ With flaming fire he will inflict vengeance on those who do not know God and do not obey the good news of our Lord Jesus.

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

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

riversident@2Thessalonians:2:2 @ not to be quickly unsettled in mind nor excited by either a revelation or by a message or a letter supposed to be from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord is close at hand.

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

riversident@2Thessalonians:2:7 @ For the mystery of lawlessness is already working, only there is just now one who is restraining it until he passes out of the way.

riversident@2Thessalonians:2:13 @ We ought always to thank God for you, brethren, beloved by the Lord, because God chose you from the beginning for salvation through the Spirit's making you holy and your own faith in the truth.

riversident@2Thessalonians:2:14 @ To this he called you through the good news that we brought, so that you may share the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

riversident@2Thessalonians:2:16 @ May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal encouragement and good hope through grace,

riversident@2Thessalonians:3:1 @ IN conclusion, brethren, pray for us, that the Lord's message may run and be glorified, as among you,

riversident@2Thessalonians:3:6 @ We charge you, brethren, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, to stand aloof from every brother who is living in a disorderly way and not according to the teaching that you received from us.

riversident@2Thessalonians:3:7 @ For you yourselves know that you should imitate us, for we were not disorderly when among you,

riversident@2Thessalonians:3:11 @ For we hear that some among you are leading disorderly lives, busy about nothing and yet busybodies.

riversident@2Thessalonians:3:12 @ Such we command and urge in the Lord Jesus Christ to work quietly and eat their own bread.

riversident@2Thessalonians:3:13 @ But you, brethren, must not become discouraged in doing well.

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

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

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

riversident@1Timothy:1:8 @ We know that the Law is excellent, if any one uses it lawfully.

riversident@1Timothy:1:9 @ But we know this: that law is not laid down for a righteous man, but for the lawless and the insubordinate, the ungodly and sinners, the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,

riversident@1Timothy:1:11 @ such as accords with the glorious good news of the blessed God, with which I have been entrusted.

riversident@1Timothy:1:12 @ I thank Christ Jesus our Lord who has given me strength, because he thought me faithful and put me into his service,

riversident@1Timothy:1:13 @ though before that I spoke profanely and was a persecutor and insolent in outrages. But I received mercy because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.

riversident@1Timothy:1:14 @ And the grace of our Lord overflowed in me with faith and love in Christ Jesus.

riversident@1Timothy:1:15 @ The saying is trust-worthy and deserving of full acceptance that "Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners," of whom I am the foremost.

riversident@1Timothy:1:16 @ But I received mercy for this reason, that in me, as the foremost, Jesus Christ might show all of his long-suffering for an example for those who are to believe in him and gain life eternal.

riversident@1Timothy:1:19 @ holding to faith and a good conscience, which some have cast aside and thus made shipwreck of their faith.

riversident@1Timothy:1:20 @ Among these are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have handed over to Satan, that they may learn not to speak profanely.

riversident@1Timothy:2:5 @ For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, himself man, Christ Jesus,

riversident@1Timothy:2:12 @ I do not permit a woman to teach or to usurp authority over a man, but she must remain silent.

riversident@1Timothy:3:1 @ THE saying is trustworthy: "If any one aspires to the office of a bishop, he desires a noble work."

riversident@1Timothy:3:4 @ presiding well over his own house, with children obedient and respectful.

riversident@1Timothy:3:5 @ But if any one does not know how to preside over his own house, how will he take care of the church of God?

riversident@1Timothy:3:6 @ He must not be a new convert, for fear he may be blinded by pride and fall into the condemnation of the Devil.

riversident@1Timothy:3:7 @ He must have a good reputation with outsiders so as not to fall into reproach and the snare of the Devil.

riversident@1Timothy:3:8 @ Deacons, in the same way, must be dignified, not double-tongued, not given to much wine, not eager for base gain,

riversident@1Timothy:3:10 @ They must first be tested, and then let them fill the office of deacon if there is nothing against them.

riversident@1Timothy:3:11 @ Women, in the same way, must be dignified, not slanderers, temperate, trustworthy in everything.

riversident@1Timothy:3:12 @ Deacons must be men true to one woman, presiding well over their children and their own houses.

riversident@1Timothy:3:13 @ Those who have filled the office of deacon well win for themselves a high standing and great boldness in the faith in Christ Jesus.

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

riversident@1Timothy:3:16 @ Confessedly great is the mystery of godliness: "Who was manifested in flesh, declared righteous in spirit, seen by angels, proclaimed among Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up in glory."

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

riversident@1Timothy:4:8 @ Bodily exercise is useful to a small degree, but godliness is useful for everything. "It has the promise of the present life and of the life that is to come."

riversident@1Timothy:4:9 @ This saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance.

riversident@1Timothy:4:10 @ For to this end we are laboring and wrestling, because we have set our hope on the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of believers.

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

riversident@1Timothy:5:4 @ If any widow has children or grandchildren, let them learn first to act piously toward their own family and to repay what they owe to their parents and grandparents. For this is pleasing in the sight of God.

riversident@1Timothy:5:8 @ If any one does not provide for his own, and especially those of his own household, he has disowned the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

riversident@1Timothy:5:9 @ A widow is to be put on the list if she has reached the age of not less than sixty years, if she has been true to one husband,

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

riversident@1Timothy:5:12 @ and thus they incur condemnation for breaking their first promise.

riversident@1Timothy:5:13 @ At the same time they learn to be idle, going around from house to house, and not only idle, but gossips, and busybodies, saying what they should not.

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

riversident@1Timothy:5:16 @ If any woman who is a believer has widows, she must provide for them and the church must not be burdened, so that it may provide for those who are really widows.

riversident@1Timothy:5:19 @ Against an elder do not receive an accusation unless on the testimony of two or three witnesses.

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

riversident@1Timothy:5:23 @ Do not keep on being a water-drinker, but use a little wine for the sake of your stomach and because of your frequent ailments.

riversident@1Timothy:5:24 @ Some men's sins are conspicuous and go on before to condemnation, but the sins of some men follow after them.

riversident@1Timothy:5:25 @ Just so noble deeds are conspicuous and those that are otherwise cannot be hid.

riversident@1Timothy:6:1 @ ALL who are slaves under the yoke must regard their own masters as worthy of all honor, so that the name of God and the teaching may not be profanely slandered.

riversident@1Timothy:6:2 @ Those who have believing masters must not despise them because they are brothers, but rather work as slaves for them because those who are benefited by their good work are believers and beloved. Teach and urge these things.

riversident@1Timothy:6:3 @ If any one teaches otherwise and does not agree to wholesome words, those of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to religious teaching,

riversident@1Timothy:6:4 @ he is conceited, knowing nothing, but morbidly fond of disputes and controversies from which come envy, strife, abusive language, wicked suspicions,

riversident@1Timothy:6:9 @ But those who are determined to be rich fall into temptation and a snare and many foolish and injurious passions which plunge men into destruction and ruin.

riversident@1Timothy:6:11 @ But you, O man of God, must shun this. Pursue righteousness, piety, faith, love, endurance, gentleness.

riversident@1Timothy:6:13 @ I charge you in the presence of God who gives life to all, and Christ Jesus who before Pontius Pilate made the noble confession,

riversident@1Timothy:6:14 @ to keep the commandment stainless and free from reproach until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,

riversident@1Timothy:6:18 @ They must do good work, be rich in noble deeds, be generous, ready to share,

riversident@2Timothy:1:2 @ to Timothy my beloved child: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and from Christ Jesus our Lord.

riversident@2Timothy:1:7 @ For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and love and self-control.

riversident@2Timothy:1:9 @ It is he who saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our deeds but according to his own purpose and grace, given to us in Christ Jesus ages ago

riversident@2Timothy:1:10 @ but now manifested by the appearance of our Savior Christ Jesus, who has defeated death and brought to light life and immortality by the good news.

riversident@2Timothy:1:12 @ and for this reason I am suffering these things. But I am not ashamed, for I know in whom I have put my faith, and am confident that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him until that day.

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

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

riversident@2Timothy:1:16 @ The Lord grant mercy to the family of Onesiphorus, for he often cheered me and was not ashamed of my chain;

riversident@2Timothy:1:18 @ The Lord grant to him to find mercy from the Lord on that day! And in how many ways he served me in Ephesus you know better still.

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

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

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

riversident@2Timothy:2:4 @ No one while serving as a soldier entangles himself in the affairs of life, for the soldier must please him who enlisted him.

riversident@2Timothy:2:8 @ Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, a descendant of David, as my good news teaches.

riversident@2Timothy:2:10 @ For this reason I am enduring all for the sake of the chosen, that they may gain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

riversident@2Timothy:2:11 @ Trustworthy is the saying, "For if we have died with him we shall also live with him;

riversident@2Timothy:2:20 @ In a great house there are not only utensils of gold and silver, but also of wood and earthenware, and some are for honorable and others for dishonorable uses.

riversident@2Timothy:2:21 @ If any one keeps himself pure from these errors, he will be ready for honorable use, holy, fit for the master's service, prepared for every good work.

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

riversident@2Timothy:2:24 @ and the servant of the Lord must not quarrel, but be courteous to all, skillful in teaching, forbearing,

riversident@2Timothy:3:2 @ for people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boasters, haughty, abusive, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, profane,

riversident@2Timothy:3:4 @ treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God.

riversident@2Timothy:3:6 @ For of this class are those who make their way into houses and take captive weak women loaded with sins, led by varying passions,

riversident@2Timothy:3:8 @ Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men oppose the truth, depraved in mind, proved to be worthless as regards the faith.

riversident@2Timothy:3:12 @ And all who are determined to live religiously in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.

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

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

riversident@2Timothy:3:16 @ All Scripture is divinely inspired and is useful for teaching, for proof, for correction of error, for education in righteousness,

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

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

riversident@2Timothy:4:8 @ Now the crown of righteousness is awaiting me. The Lord the righteous judge will give it to me on that day, and not only to me but to all those who have loved his appearing.

riversident@2Timothy:4:10 @ For Demas deserted me because he loved the present world and has gone to Thessalonica. Crescens has gone to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia.

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

riversident@2Timothy:4:12 @ I sent Tychicus to Ephesus.

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

riversident@2Timothy:4:19 @ Give my greetings to Prises and Aquila and the household of Onesiphorus.

riversident@2Timothy:4:20 @ Erastus stayed at Corinth. Trophimus I left at Miletus, sick.

riversident@Titus:1:6 @ wherever there is a man of irreproachable character, true to one woman, with believing children who are not charged with dissolute conduct and not unruly.

riversident@Titus:1:7 @ For a bishop, as God's steward, must be above reproach, not self-willed, not quick-tempered, not given to wine, not given to blows, not eager for base gain,

riversident@Titus:1:9 @ holding to the trustworthy message which is according to the teaching, so that he may be able also to encourage others by wholesome teaching and to refute opposers.

riversident@Titus:1:11 @ who ought to be silenced, for they are upsetting whole house-holds, teaching what they should not, merely for the sake of base gain.

riversident@Titus:1:12 @ One of themselves, a prophet of their own, said, "Cretans are always liars, base brutes, lazy gluttons."

riversident@Titus:1:13 @ This testimony is true. For this reason rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,

riversident@Titus:1:14 @ not giving attention to Jewish myths and rules laid down by men who are turning away from the truth.

riversident@Titus:1:15 @ To the pure all things are pure; but to the polluted and unbelieving nothing is pure. Even their minds and consciences are polluted.

riversident@Titus:1:16 @ They profess to know God, but by their deeds they disown him. They are detestable, disobedient, and worthless for any good work.

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

riversident@Titus:2:2 @ Tell the older men to be temperate, dignified, self-controlled, sound in faith, in love, in patience.

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

riversident@Titus:2:5 @ self-controlled, pure, home-workers, kind, submissive to their own husbands, that God's message may not be slandered.

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

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

riversident@Titus:2:8 @ and wholesome talk that is above censure, that our opponents may be ashamed, having nothing evil to say about us.

riversident@Titus:3:2 @ to speak abusively to no one, to be peaceable, to be fair, showing all gentleness toward all men.

riversident@Titus:3:3 @ For we ourselves were once thoughtless, disobedient, astray, enslaved to passions and various pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another.

riversident@Titus:3:4 @ But when the kindness of our Savior, God, and his love to men appeared,

riversident@Titus:3:5 @ "not because of works that we had done in righteousness, but out of his own mercy he saved us through the bath of the new birth and the renewing of the Holy Spirit

riversident@Titus:3:6 @ which he poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior,

riversident@Titus:3:7 @ that we might be declared righteous by his grace and become heirs with the hope of life eternal."

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

riversident@Hebrews:2:3 @ how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, which at the beginning was spoken by the Lord and was confirmed to us by those who heard him,

riversident@Hebrews:2:9 @ but we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death that by the grace of God he might taste of death for every man, now crowned with glory and honor.

riversident@Hebrews:2:11 @ For he who makes holy and they who are made holy are all of one. For this cause he is not ashamed to call them brothers,

riversident@Hebrews:2:13 @ and again, "I will trust in him," and again, "Here am I and the children whom God has given me."

riversident@Hebrews:3:1 @ THEREFORE, holy brethren, sharers in a heavenly call, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Jesus,

riversident@Hebrews:3:2 @ who was faithful to him who made him as also Moses was in all God's house.

riversident@Hebrews:3:3 @ For he has been thought worthy of more glory than Moses, just as he who has built a house has more honor than the house.

riversident@Hebrews:3:4 @ For every house is built by some one, but he who built all things is God.

riversident@Hebrews:3:5 @ Moses was faithful in all God's house as a servant for a testimony to the things that were to be spoken,

riversident@Hebrews:4:1 @ LET us, then, be afraid that, though the promise of entering his rest is still left, some one of you may seem to have missed it.

riversident@Hebrews:4:2 @ For we have received the good news just as they did, but the message that was heard did not benefit them, since it did not meet with faith in the hearers.

riversident@Hebrews:4:4 @ For he has somewhere spoken of the seventh day thus, "And God rested on the seventh day from all his works,"

riversident@Hebrews:4:6 @ Since, then, it remains for some to enter into it, and those who first received the good news did not enter because of lack of faith \'97

riversident@Hebrews:4:11 @ Let us endeavor then to enter into that rest so that no one shall fall, after that example of lack of faith.

riversident@Hebrews:4:13 @ There is not a creature invisible to him, but all things are naked and defenseless before the eyes of him to whom we must account.

riversident@Hebrews:4:14 @ Since, then, we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.

riversident@Hebrews:4:15 @ For we have not a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, for he has been tempted in every way just as we are, yet without sin.

riversident@Hebrews:4:16 @ Therefore let us come with confidence to the throne of grace and receive compassion and find grace for timely help.

riversident@Hebrews:5:3 @ For this reason he must bring an offering for his own sins, just as he does for those of the people.

riversident@Hebrews:5:9 @ and being thus made perfect he became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey him,

riversident@Hebrews:5:13 @ For every one who takes milk is inexperienced in the doctrine of righteousness, for he is a child.

riversident@Hebrews:10:2 @ since would they not have ceased offering them? Because the worshipers, once for all cleansed, would have had no consciousness of sins.

riversident@Hebrews:10:10 @ By this "will" we are made holy through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

riversident@Hebrews:10:15 @ The Holy Spirit testifies this to us; for after having said,

riversident@Hebrews:10:19 @ Since we have, then, brethren, confidence in entering the holy place through the blood of Jesus,

riversident@Hebrews:10:20 @ by the new and living way which he has made for us through the curtain, that is, his flesh,

riversident@Hebrews:10:21 @ and since we have a great Priest over the house of God,

riversident@Hebrews:10:22 @ let us come with true hearts in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies bathed in pure water.

riversident@Hebrews:10:23 @ Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he is faithful who has promised,

riversident@Hebrews:10:38 @ My righteous man will live by faith; but if he shrinks back, my soul has no delight in him."

riversident@Hebrews:11:4 @ By faith Abel offered to God a better sacrifice than Cain, for which he had witness borne to him that he was righteous, God testifying to his gifts, and by it, though dead, he still speaks.

riversident@Hebrews:11:5 @ By faith Enoch was taken from the earth so that he did not see death, and he was not found because God had taken him. For before being taken he had this testimony that he had pleased God.

riversident@Hebrews:11:6 @ But without faith it is impossible to please him. For he who comes to God must have faith that he exists and that he becomes the rewarder of those who seek him.

riversident@Hebrews:11:7 @ By faith Noah, after receiving a divine warning regarding things as yet unseen, reverently built an ark for the saving of his household. Thus he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness of faith.

riversident@Hebrews:11:11 @ By faith Sarah received power to conceive a child even when past the natural time of life, since she thought him trustworthy who had given the promise.

riversident@Hebrews:11:12 @ And so from just one man, already dead in that respect, there sprang descendants "as the stars of heaven in multitude and as the sand on the seashore innumerable."

riversident@Hebrews:11:23 @ By faith Moses at his birth was hidden three months by his parents, because they saw that the child was beautiful, and they did not fear the king's command.

riversident@Hebrews:11:24 @ By faith Moses when he had grown up refused to be called a son of Pharaoh's daughter.

riversident@Hebrews:11:31 @ By faith Rahab, the prostitute, did not perish with those who had refused to believe; because she had welcomed the spies with peace.

riversident@Hebrews:11:33 @ who through faith struggled against kingdoms and subdued them, did deeds of righteousness, obtained promised blessings, shut the mouths of lions,

riversident@Hebrews:11:35 @ Women received back their dead by a resurrection. Others were tortured, refusing to pay for liberation, in order to gain a better resurrection.

riversident@Hebrews:11:40 @ In reference to us God had something better in view, that they without us should not reach perfection.

riversident@Hebrews:12:1 @ THEREFORE, surrounded as we are by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight and the sin that so easily besets us, and let us run with patience the race that lies before us,

riversident@Hebrews:12:2 @ looking to Jesus the beginner and finisher of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured a cross, thinking little of the shame, and has taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of God.

riversident@Hebrews:12:9 @ Besides, we had fathers of our flesh who disciplined us and we used to reverence them. Shall we not much more be submissive to the Father of our spirits and live?

riversident@Hebrews:12:10 @ For they for a few days disciplined us as seemed good to them, but he for our profit, that we may share his holiness.

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

riversident@Hebrews:12:20 @ For they could not bear the command, "If even an animal touches the mountain it must be stoned."

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

riversident@Hebrews:12:23 @ to the festal assembly and congregation of first-born who are enrolled in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of righteous men made perfect,

riversident@Hebrews:12:24 @ and to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant and to the sprinkled blood which tells something better than the blood of Abel.

riversident@Hebrews:12:28 @ So then, since we are receiving an unshaken kingdom, let us have grace by which we may worship God acceptably with reverence and awe.

riversident@Hebrews:13:8 @ Jesus Christ is yesterday and to-day the same \'97 yes, and through the ages.

riversident@Hebrews:13:12 @ For this reason Jesus also, to make the people holy by his own blood, suffered outside the gate.

riversident@Hebrews:13:13 @ Let us go out to him outside the camp and bear the reproaches cast on him.

riversident@Hebrews:13:15 @ Through him then let us offer to God always the sacrifice of praise, that is, the fruit of lips that make confession in his name.

riversident@Hebrews:13:17 @ Obey your leaders and yield to their authority; for they watch over your souls as those who must give account, that they may do it with joy and not with sighing. That would be unprofitable for you.

riversident@Hebrews:13:18 @ Pray for us: for we are confident that we have a good conscience, wishing to live nobly in every way.

riversident@Hebrews:13:20 @ May the God of peace, who brought up from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great Shepherd of the sheep through the blood of an eternal covenant,

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

riversident@James:1:1 @ JAMES, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the Twelve Tribes which are scattered in foreign lands: Greeting.

riversident@James:1:6 @ But he must ask in faith with never a doubt. For he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed.

riversident@James:1:7 @ For that man must not think that he will obtain anything from the Lord \'97

riversident@James:1:13 @ No one must say when tempted, "My temptation comes from God." For God cannot be tempted by evil, and he tempts no one.

riversident@James:1:17 @ every good gift and every perfect boon is from above; it descends from the Father of lights, with whom there is no change or shadow caused by turning.

riversident@James:1:18 @ Of his own will he made us his children through the message of truth, so that we might be a sort of first fruits of his creatures.

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

riversident@James:1:20 @ For a man's anger does not work out God's righteousness.

riversident@James:1:26 @ If any one thinks himself religious while he does not bridle his tongue, but deceives his own heart, that man's religion is worthless.

riversident@James:2:1 @ MY brethren, do not hold the faith of our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with partiality for persons.

riversident@James:2:14 @ Of what use is it, my brethren, for any one to say that he has faith, if he has not works? Can faith save him?

riversident@James:2:17 @ Just so faith by itself, if it has no works, is dead.

riversident@James:2:20 @ Are you willing to learn, O vacant-minded man, that faith without works is useless?

riversident@James:2:21 @ Was not Abraham, our father, pronounced righteous because of works when he laid Isaac his son on the altar?

riversident@James:2:23 @ and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, "Abraham had faith in God and it was credited to him for righteousness" and he was called "God's friend."

riversident@James:2:24 @ You see that a man is pronounced righteous because of works and not because of faith alone.

riversident@James:2:25 @ In the same way was not Rahab, the prostitute, pronounced righteous because of works when she had received the messengers and sent them out by a different road?

riversident@James:3:3 @ If we put bits into the horses' mouths to make them obey us, we turn about their whole bodies.

riversident@James:3:5 @ Just so the tongue is a small member, but boasts of great things. Think how small a fire may be and yet how vast the forest that it may set ablaze.

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

riversident@James:3:16 @ For where jealousy and party-spirit are, there is confusion and every base affair.

riversident@James:3:18 @ The fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.

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

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

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

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

riversident@James:5:3 @ your gold and silver are rusted over and the rust on them will be an evidence against you and will eat your flesh like fire.

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

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

riversident@James:5:7 @ Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the ground and is patient over it until he receives the early and the late rains.

riversident@James:5:8 @ You too must be patient. Keep your hearts steadfast, for the coming of the Lord is near.

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

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

riversident@1Peter:1:1 @ PETER, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the Chosen Ones of the scattered Jews in foreign lands who are living in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia and Bithynia \'97

riversident@1Peter:1:2 @ chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father and made holy by the Spirit to obey Jesus Christ and be sprinkled with his blood: Grace be to you and peace be multiplied.

riversident@1Peter:1:3 @ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy has given us a new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead \'97

riversident@1Peter:1:7 @ so that your tested faith, much more precious than gold that perishes though tested by fire, may be found to your praise and glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed,

riversident@1Peter:1:8 @ whom you love though you have not seen him; in whom you have faith though now you do not see him, and you rejoice with unspeakable and glorious joy

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

riversident@1Peter:1:16 @ for it is written, "You shall be holy because I am holy."

riversident@1Peter:1:19 @ but by precious blood, as of a faultless, spotless lamb, the blood of Christ,

riversident@1Peter:1:22 @ Now that you have made your souls holy by obedience to the truth for sincere brotherly love, you must love one another steadily from your hearts,

riversident@1Peter:2:4 @ Coming to him, a living stone, rejected by men but with the Lord chosen and precious,

riversident@1Peter:2:5 @ you also as living stones are built up, a spiritual house, and become a holy priesthood to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

riversident@1Peter:2:8 @ a stone for the foot to strike, a rock to stumble over." Their feet strike the message because of their unbelief, and to this they were destined.

riversident@1Peter:2:16 @ Live as free men, yet not using freedom as a cloak for wickedness, but as God's slaves.

riversident@1Peter:2:18 @ Household servants, be submissive with all reverence to your lords, not only to the good and fair, but also to the surly.

riversident@1Peter:2:19 @ For this is grace if for conscience toward God any one bears pain, suffering unjustly.

riversident@1Peter:2:21 @ For to this you were called, because Christ too suffered for you, leaving you an example that you might follow in his foot-steps.

riversident@1Peter:2:23 @ When he was reviled he did not revile back; he suffered, but made no threat; he committed himself to him who judges justly.

riversident@1Peter:2:24 @ He bore our sins in his own body on the tree that we might die to sins and live to righteousness.

riversident@1Peter:3:1 @ IN the same way you wives are to be submissive to your own husbands, so that if any disbelieve the message they may be won over by the lives of their wives without argument,

riversident@1Peter:3:3 @ Your adornment must not be of the external kind \'97 braiding the hair and putting on gold and wearing fine dresses;

riversident@1Peter:3:4 @ but the hidden personality of the heart must wear the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is in God's sight most precious.

riversident@1Peter:3:5 @ For so of old the holy women who hoped in God adorned themselves. They were submissive to their own husbands,

riversident@1Peter:3:7 @ In the same way, you husbands must live with your wives wisely, since woman's sex is weaker, but you must give them honor as fellow heirs of the grace of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered.

riversident@1Peter:3:8 @ Finally, all must be like-minded, sympathetic, full of brotherly love, compassionate, humble-minded,

riversident@1Peter:3:9 @ not repaying evil for evil or abuse for abuse, but rather blessing, for that is what you were called for \'97 to inherit a blessing.

riversident@1Peter:3:10 @ For "He who would love life and see good days must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit.

riversident@1Peter:3:11 @ He must turn away from evil and do good; he must seek peace and pursue it.

riversident@1Peter:3:12 @ For the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous and his ears are open to their prayer, but the face of the Lord is against wrongdoers."

riversident@1Peter:3:14 @ But if you should suffer for being righteous, you are blessed. Have no fear of them and do not be disturbed;

riversident@1Peter:3:18 @ For Christ once for all died for sins, a righteous man for unrighteous men, so that he might lead us to God. He was put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit,

riversident@1Peter:3:21 @ This is a type of baptism, which now saves us \'97 not the putting off of soil from the flesh, but the endeavor for a good conscience toward God through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

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

riversident@1Peter:4:3 @ The time that has passed was enough to spend doing the will of the Gentiles, when you went on in indecencies, passions, hard drinking, revelries, carousings, and lawless idolatries.

riversident@1Peter:4:7 @ The end of all things is near. Therefore be serious and sober and give yourselves to prayer.

riversident@1Peter:4:11 @ If any one speaks, let it be as uttering the oracles of God. If any one serves, let it be from the strength that God supplies. Thus in all things let God be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him be glory and strength for the ages of the ages! Amen.

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

riversident@1Peter:4:17 @ For the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God. And if it begins first with us, what will be the end of those who disobey the good news of God?

riversident@1Peter:4:18 @ If the righteous is saved with difficulty, where will the godless and sinful appear?

riversident@1Peter:5:2 @ I beg you to shepherd the flock of God that is among you, not because you must, but willingly, not for base gain, but eagerly,

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

riversident@1Peter:5:12 @ By Silvanus, your faithful brother, as I esteem him, I am writing to you briefly, to encourage you and to testify that this is the true grace of God. Take your stand in it.

riversident@2Peter:1:1 @ SIMON PETER, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ have been allotted a faith as precious as ours:

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

riversident@2Peter:1:3 @ Since his divine power has given us all things helpful to life and piety through the knowledge of him who has called us by his own glory and virtue,

riversident@2Peter:1:4 @ and thereby great and precious promises have been granted to us, that through them you may escape the corruption that is in the world through passion and become sharers in the divine nature,

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

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

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

riversident@2Peter:1:14 @ since I know that the laying aside of my tent will come soon, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made plain to me.

riversident@2Peter:1:16 @ For we were not following cunningly devised myths when we told you of the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we had been eye-witnesses of his majesty.

riversident@2Peter:1:19 @ Thus have we the words of the prophets confirmed, and you will do well to give attention to them as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts;

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

riversident@2Peter:2:3 @ In covetousness they will make gain out of you by their cunning words. But their condemnation from of old has not been inactive, and their destruction has not been sleeping.

riversident@2Peter:2:4 @ For if God did not spare angels that had sinned, but thrust them down to Tartarus and committed them to pits of darkness to be kept for judgment,

riversident@2Peter:2:5 @ and did not spare the ancient world, but guarded Noah, a herald of righteousness, and seven others, when he brought the flood on the world of the ungodly;

riversident@2Peter:2:7 @ and rescued righteous Lot worn out by the indecent lives of the lawless, \'97

riversident@2Peter:2:8 @ for that righteous man living among them was tortured day and night in his righteous soul by the sight and hearing of their lawless deeds, \'97

riversident@2Peter:2:9 @ the Lord knows how to rescue the pious from trial and how to keep the wicked under punishment for the day of judgment,

riversident@2Peter:2:10 @ especially those who go after flesh in polluting passions, and despise lordship. They are daring, self-willed; they do not tremble to speak insultingly of glorious beings

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

riversident@2Peter:2:14 @ They have eyes engrossed with some adulteress, eyes which never cease from sin. They seduce unsteady souls. They have hearts practiced in covetousness. They are children of a curse.

riversident@2Peter:2:15 @ Leaving the straight path they have wandered away following the path of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness.

riversident@2Peter:2:20 @ For if, after they have escaped the defilement of the world by the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they have been again entangled and overcome, their last state has become worse than the first.

riversident@2Peter:2:21 @ For it would be better for them not to have known the way of righteousness than after knowing it to turn back from the holy commandment that has been committed to them.

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

riversident@2Peter:3:8 @ Do not forget this one thing, beloved, that one day with the Lord is like a thousand years and a thousand years are like one day.

riversident@2Peter:3:9 @ The Lord is not slow about what he has promised, as some think of slowness, but is long-suffering toward us, wishing not to have any perish but to have all come to a change of heart.

riversident@2Peter:3:13 @ But according to his promise we are expecting new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness will dwell.

riversident@2Peter:3:18 @ but grow in grace and in knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory now and to the day of eternity!

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

riversident@1John:1:7 @ If we live in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.

riversident@1John:1:8 @ If we say, "We have no sin," we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.

riversident@1John:1:9 @ If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness:

riversident@1John:1:10 @ If we say, "We have not sinned," we make him a liar and his message is not in us.

riversident@1John:2:1 @ MY children, I am writing this to you in order that you may not sin. Even if any one sins, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ, who is righteous.

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

riversident@1John:2:11 @ He who hates his brother is in darkness and walks in darkness and knows not where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

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

riversident@1John:2:13 @ I am writing to you, fathers, because you have come to know him who has been from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have conquered the Evil One. I have written to you, little children, because you have come to know the Father.

riversident@1John:2:14 @ I have written to you, fathers, because you have come to know him who has been from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong and the message of God remains in you and you have conquered the Evil One.

riversident@1John:2:16 @ for all that is in the world, the passions of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the show and pride of life, is not from the Father, but from the world.

riversident@1John:2:19 @ They went out from us, but they were not of us, for if they had been of us they would have continued with us. But they went out so that it might be plainly seen that not all are of us.

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

riversident@1John:2:22 @ Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is the Antichrist who denies the Father and the Son.

riversident@1John:2:25 @ And this is the promise that he has promised us \'97 the life eternal.

riversident@1John:2:27 @ But as for you, the anointing that you have received from him remains in you and you have no need for any one to teach you, but as his anointing teaches you about all things and is true and is no lie and as it has taught you, you must remain in him.

riversident@1John:2:29 @ If you know that he is righteous, you know that every one who does righteousness has been born of him.

riversident@1John:3:1 @ SEE what love the Father has bestowed on us that we should be called children of God. And so we are. The reason why tho world does not know us is that it did not know him.

riversident@1John:3:3 @ And every one who has this hope set upon Christ purifies himself just as Christ is pure.

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

riversident@1John:3:9 @ No one who has been born of God commits sin, for God's life-giving germ remains in him and he cannot continue sinning, because he has been born of God.

riversident@1John:3:10 @ By this the children of God are plain to see, also the children of the Devil. Every one who is not doing righteousness is not of God, nor is he who does not love his brother.

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

riversident@1John:3:12 @ Not like Cain, who was of the Wicked One and killed his brother. And for what reason did he kill him? Because his own deeds were wicked and his brother's righteous.

riversident@1John:3:14 @ We know that we have passed from death into life because we love the brethren. Whoever does not love remains in death.

riversident@1John:3:16 @ By this we have come to know love \'97 that Christ laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

riversident@1John:3:18 @ Let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth.

riversident@1John:3:20 @ because if our hearts condemn us God is greater than our hearts and knows all things.

riversident@1John:3:21 @ Beloved, if our hearts do not condemn us we have confidence toward God,

riversident@1John:3:22 @ and whatever we ask we receive from him, because we keep his commands and do what is pleasing in his sight.

riversident@1John:3:23 @ And this is his command \'97 to believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another as he has given us command.

riversident@1John:3:24 @ He who keeps his commands remains in God and God remains in him. By this we know that God remains in us \'97 by the Spirit which he has given to us.

riversident@1John:4:1 @ BELOVED, do not trust every spirit, but test the spirits whether they are from God. For many false prophets have come out into the world.

riversident@1John:4:2 @ By this we know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God,

riversident@1John:4:3 @ and no spirit that does not confess Jesus is from God. This is the spirit of Antichrist, which you have heard is coming into the world and is already in the world.

riversident@1John:4:4 @ But you are of God, little children, and have conquered them, because he who is in us is greater than he who is in the world.

riversident@1John:4:6 @ We are of God. Whoever knows God listens to us: whoever is not of God does not listen to us. In this way we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.

riversident@1John:4:7 @ Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and every one who loves has been born of God and knows God.

riversident@1John:4:9 @ By this the love of God to us was made plain: that God sent his only Son into the world so that we may have life through him.

riversident@1John:4:10 @ In this is love \'97 not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son to be an atoning sacrifice for our sins.

riversident@1John:4:11 @ Beloved, if God has so loved us, we ought also to love one another.

riversident@1John:4:12 @ No one has ever seen God. If we love one another God abides in us and his love is made perfect in us.

riversident@1John:4:13 @ By this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has imparted to us of his Spirit.

riversident@1John:4:15 @ Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him and he in God.

riversident@1John:4:16 @ We have come to know and have put our trust in the love which God has for us. God is love, and he who remains in love remains in God and God remains in him.

riversident@1John:4:17 @ Thus love has been made perfect with us so that we may have confidence on the day of judgment, because as God is we also are in this world.

riversident@1John:4:18 @ There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has pain. He who fears has not been made perfect in love.

riversident@1John:4:19 @ We love because he first loved us.

riversident@1John:5:1 @ EVERY one who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and every one who loves the father who gave him life loves every one who has received life from that father.

riversident@1John:5:4 @ because all that is born of God conquers the world. And this is the victory that conquers the world, our faith.

riversident@1John:5:5 @ Who is the conqueror of the world but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

riversident@1John:5:6 @ This is he who came through water and blood, Jesus Christ. Not with the water only, but with the water and the blood. And the Spirit is the witness, because the Spirit is the truth.

riversident@1John:5:10 @ He who believes in the Son of God has the testimony within himself. He who does not believe God has made him a liar; because he has not believed the testimony which God has borne regarding his Son.

riversident@1John:5:11 @ This is the testimony: that God has given to us life eternal and this life is in his Son.

riversident@1John:5:14 @ This is the confidence that we have toward him: that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us.

riversident@1John:5:15 @ And if we know that he hears us when we ask anything, we know that we obtain the things that we have asked of him.

riversident@1John:5:16 @ If any one sees his brother committing a sin that is not deadly, he must ask and God will give him life for those who are committing sin that is not deadly. There is sin that is deadly. I do not say that he should pray in behalf of that.

riversident@1John:5:17 @ All unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin that is not deadly.

riversident@1John:5:20 @ We know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding to know him who is true, and we are in him who is true and in his Son, Jesus Christ. This is the true God and life eternal.

riversident@2John:1:2 @ for the sake of the truth which remains in us and will be with us forever:

riversident@2John:1:3 @ Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.

riversident@2John:1:5 @ And now I pray you, Lady, not as if writing a new command for you, but one that we have had from the beginning, let us love one another.

riversident@2John:1:6 @ This is love: to live by his commands. This is the command, as you heard from the beginning that you must live by it.

riversident@2John:1:7 @ For many deceivers have come out into the world and they do not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh. Such a one is the deceiver and the Antichrist.

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

riversident@3John:1:1 @ THE Elder to Gaius the beloved, whom I love in truth:

riversident@3John:1:2 @ Beloved, I pray that in everything you may prosper and be in health, just as your soul now prospers.

riversident@3John:1:9 @ I wrote something to the church; but Diotrephes, who desires to be first among them, does not receive us.

riversident@3John:1:10 @ Therefore, if I come I will bring to mind the works that he is doing, accusing us with wicked words, and not satisfied with that, neither does he receive the brethren, and he hinders those who wish to do so and expels them from the church.

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

riversident@Jude:1:1 @ JUDE, a servant of Jesus Christ and a brother of James, to those who are in God the Father, beloved, kept for Jesus Christ and called:

riversident@Jude:1:3 @ Beloved, although I have been making every effort to write to you regarding our common salvation, I now find it necessary to write and urge you to contend vigorously for the faith that was once for all delivered to the holy.

riversident@Jude:1:4 @ For certain persons have crept in, who of old were written of as predestined to this doom, godless, changing the grace of our God into profligacy and disowning our only Ruler and Lord, Jesus Christ.

riversident@Jude:1:8 @ Just so these dreamers defile the flesh, reject government, and speak abusively of glorious beings.

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

riversident@Jude:1:11 @ Alas for them! for they have traveled in the path of Cain, and for hire have rushed headlong into the error of Balaam, and have perished in the rebellious talk of Korah.

riversident@Jude:1:14 @ Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these men when he said, "See, the Lord has come with ten thousand of his holy ones

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

riversident@Jude:1:19 @ These are those who cause divisions, sensual and unspiritual.
