rsv@Genesis:10:16 @ and the Jeb'usites, the Amorites, the Gir'gashites,

rsv@Genesis:11:2 @ And as men migrated from the east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there.

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

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

rsv@Genesis:11:29 @ And Abram and Nahor took wives; the name of Abram's wife was Sar'ai, and the name of Nahor's wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran the father of Milcah and Iscah.

rsv@Genesis:11:30 @ Now Sar'ai was barren; she had no child.

rsv@Genesis:12:4 @ So Abram went, as the LORD had told him; and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran.

rsv@Genesis:12:6 @ Abram passed through the land to the place at Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. At that time the Canaanites were in the land.

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

rsv@Genesis:12:10 @ Now there was a famine in the land. So Abram went down to Egypt to sojourn there, for the famine was severe in the land.

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

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

rsv@Genesis:12:15 @ And when the princes of Pharaoh saw her, they praised her to Pharaoh. And the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house.

rsv@Genesis:12:16 @ And for her sake he dealt well with Abram; and he had sheep, oxen, he-asses, menservants, maidservants, she-asses, and camels.

rsv@Genesis:12:18 @ So Pharaoh called Abram, and said, "What is this you have done to me? Why did you not tell me that she was your wife?

rsv@Genesis:13:2 @ Now Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.

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

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

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

rsv@Genesis:13:11 @ So Lot chose for himself all the Jordan valley, and Lot journeyed east; thus they separated from each other.

rsv@Genesis:13:12 @ Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan, while Lot dwelt among the cities of the valley and moved his tent as far as Sodom.

rsv@Genesis:13:14 @ The LORD said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him, "Lift up your eyes, and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward;

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

rsv@Genesis:14:5 @ In the fourteenth year Ched-or-lao'mer and the kings who were with him came and subdued the Reph'aim in Ash'teroth-karna'im, the Zuzim in Ham, the Emim in Sha'veh-kiriatha'im,

rsv@Genesis:14:6 @ and the Horites in their Mount Se'ir as far as El-paran on the border of the wilderness;

rsv@Genesis:14:10 @ Now the Valley of Siddim was full of bitumen pits; and as the kings of Sodom and Gomor'rah fled, some fell into them, and the rest fled to the mountain.

rsv@Genesis:14:13 @ Then one who had escaped came, and told Abram the Hebrew, who was living by the oaks of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol and of Aner; these were allies of Abram.

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

rsv@Genesis:14:15 @ And he divided his forces against them by night, he and his servants, and routed them and pursued them to Hobah, north of Damascus.

rsv@Genesis:14:18 @ And Mel-chiz'edek king of Salem brought out bread and wine; he was priest of God Most High.

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

rsv@Genesis:15:2 @ But Abram said, "O Lord GOD, what wilt thou give me, for I continue childless, and the heir of my house is Elie'zer of Damascus?"

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

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

rsv@Genesis:15:11 @ And when birds of prey came down upon the carcasses, Abram drove them away.

rsv@Genesis:15:12 @ As the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell on Abram; and lo, a dread and great darkness fell upon him.

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

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

rsv@Genesis:15:21 @ the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Gir'gashites and the Jeb'usites."

rsv@Genesis:16:1 @ Now Sar'ai, Abram's wife, bore him no children. She had an Egyptian maid whose name was Hagar;

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

rsv@Genesis:16:3 @ So, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, Sar'ai, Abram's wife, took Hagar the Egyptian, her maid, and gave her to Abram her husband as a wife.

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

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

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

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

rsv@Genesis:16:16 @ Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ish'mael to Abram.

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

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

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

rsv@Genesis:17:9 @ And God said to Abraham, "As for you, you shall keep my covenant, you and your descendants after you throughout their generations.

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

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

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

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

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

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

rsv@Genesis:17:23 @ Then Abraham took Ish'mael his son and all the slaves born in his house or bought with his money, every male among the men of Abraham's house, and he circumcised the flesh of their foreskins that very day, as God had said to him.

rsv@Genesis:17:24 @ Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.

rsv@Genesis:17:25 @ And Ish'mael his son was thirteen years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.

rsv@Genesis:18:1 @ And the LORD appeared to him by the oaks of Mamre, as he sat at the door of his tent in the heat of the day.

rsv@Genesis:18:3 @ and said, "My lord, if I have found favor in your sight, do not pass by your servant.

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

rsv@Genesis:18:5 @ while I fetch a morsel of bread, that you may refresh yourselves, and after that you may pass on--since you have come to your servant." So they said, "Do as you have said."

rsv@Genesis:18:6 @ And Abraham hastened into the tent to Sarah, and said, "Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes."

rsv@Genesis:18:7 @ And Abraham ran to the herd, and took a calf, tender and good, and gave it to the servant, who hastened to prepare it.

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

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

rsv@Genesis:18:12 @ So Sarah laughed to herself, saying, "After I have grown old, and my husband is old, shall I have pleasure?"

rsv@Genesis:18:15 @ But Sarah denied, saying, "I did not laugh"; for she was afraid. He said, "No, but you did laugh."

rsv@Genesis:18:19 @ No, for I have chosen him, that he may charge his children and his household after him to keep the way of the LORD by doing righteousness and justice; so that the LORD may bring to Abraham what he has promised him."

rsv@Genesis:18:21 @ I will go down to see whether they have done altogether according to the outcry which has come to me; and if not, I will know."

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

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

rsv@Genesis:19:1 @ The two angels came to Sodom in the evening; and Lot was sitting in the gate of Sodom. When Lot saw them, he rose to meet them, and bowed himself with his face to the earth,

rsv@Genesis:19:2 @ and said, "My lords, turn aside, I pray you, to your servant's house and spend the night, and wash your feet; then you may rise up early and go on your way." They said, "No; we will spend the night in the street."

rsv@Genesis:19:3 @ But he urged them strongly; so they turned aside to him and entered his house; and he made them a feast, and baked unleavened bread, and they ate.

rsv@Genesis:19:4 @ But before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, both young and old, all the people to the last man, surrounded the house;

rsv@Genesis:19:8 @ Behold, I have two daughters who have not known man; let me bring them out to you, and do to them as you please; only do nothing to these men, for they have come under the shelter of my roof."

rsv@Genesis:19:13 @ for we are about to destroy this place, because the outcry against its people has become great before the LORD, and the LORD has sent us to destroy it."

rsv@Genesis:19:19 @ behold, your servant has found favor in your sight, and you have shown me great kindness in saving my life; but I cannot flee to the hills, lest the disaster overtake me, and I die.

rsv@Genesis:19:22 @ Make haste, escape there; for I can do nothing till you arrive there." Therefore the name of the city was called Zo'ar.

rsv@Genesis:19:29 @ So it was that, when God destroyed the cities of the valley, God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in which Lot dwelt.

rsv@Genesis:19:30 @ Now Lot went up out of Zo'ar, and dwelt in the hills with his two daughters, for he was afraid to dwell in Zo'ar; so he dwelt in a cave with his two daughters.

rsv@Genesis:19:34 @ And on the next day, the first-born said to the younger, "Behold, I lay last night with my father; let us make him drink wine tonight also; then you go in and lie with him, that we may preserve offspring through our father."

rsv@Genesis:20:6 @ Then God said to him in the dream, "Yes, I know that you have done this in the integrity of your heart, and it was I who kept you from sinning against me; therefore I did not let you touch her.

rsv@Genesis:21:1 @ The LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did to Sarah as he had promised.

rsv@Genesis:21:3 @ Abraham called the name of his son who was born to him, whom Sarah bore him, Isaac.

rsv@Genesis:21:4 @ And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac when he was eight days old, as God had commanded him.

rsv@Genesis:21:5 @ Abraham was a hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him.

rsv@Genesis:21:6 @ And Sarah said, "God has made laughter for me; every one who hears will laugh over me."

rsv@Genesis:21:8 @ And the child grew, and was weaned; and Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned.

rsv@Genesis:21:10 @ So she said to Abraham, "Cast out this slave woman with her son; for the son of this slave woman shall not be heir with my son Isaac."

rsv@Genesis:21:11 @ And the thing was very displeasing to Abraham on account of his son.

rsv@Genesis:21:12 @ But God said to Abraham, "Be not displeased because of the lad and because of your slave woman; whatever Sarah says to you, do as she tells you, for through Isaac shall your descendants be named.

rsv@Genesis:21:15 @ When the water in the skin was gone, she cast the child under one of the bushes.

rsv@Genesis:21:16 @ Then she went, and sat down over against him a good way off, about the distance of a bowshot; for she said, "Let me not look upon the death of the child." And as she sat over against him, the child lifted up his voice and wept.

rsv@Genesis:21:17 @ And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven, and said to her, "What troubles you, Hagar? Fear not; for God has heard the voice of the lad where he is.

rsv@Genesis:21:18 @ Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him fast with your hand; for I will make him a great nation."

rsv@Genesis:21:20 @ And God was with the lad, and he grew up; he lived in the wilderness, and became an expert with the bow.

rsv@Genesis:21:23 @ now therefore swear to me here by God that you will not deal falsely with me or with my offspring or with my posterity, but as I have dealt loyally with you, you will deal with me and with the land where you have sojourned."

rsv@Genesis:21:26 @ Abim'elech said, "I do not know who has done this thing; you did not tell me, and I have not heard of it until today."

rsv@Genesis:21:31 @ Therefore that place was called Beer-sheba; because there both of them swore an oath.

rsv@Genesis:21:33 @ Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beer-sheba, and called there on the name of the LORD, the Everlasting God.

rsv@Genesis:22:2 @ He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Mori'ah, and offer him there as a burnt offering upon one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

rsv@Genesis:22:3 @ So Abraham rose early in the morning, saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and his son Isaac; and he cut the wood for the burnt offering, and arose and went to the place of which God had told him.

rsv@Genesis:22:5 @ Then Abraham said to his young men, "Stay here with the ass; I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you."

rsv@Genesis:22:13 @ And Abraham lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, behind him was a ram, caught in a thicket by his horns; and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered it up as a burnt offering instead of his son.

rsv@Genesis:22:14 @ So Abraham called the name of that place The LORD will provide; as it is said to this day, "On the mount of the LORD it shall be provided."

rsv@Genesis:22:17 @ I will indeed bless you, and I will multiply your descendants as the stars of heaven and as the sand which is on the seashore. And your descendants shall possess the gate of their enemies,

rsv@Genesis:22:20 @ Now after these things it was told Abraham, "Behold, Milcah also has borne children to your brother Nahor:

rsv@Genesis:22:22 @ Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethu'el."

rsv@Genesis:22:24 @ Moreover, his concubine, whose name was Reumah, bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Ma'acah.

rsv@Genesis:23:9 @ that he may give me the cave of Mach-pe'lah, which he owns; it is at the end of his field. For the full price let him give it to me in your presence as a possession for a burying place."

rsv@Genesis:23:10 @ Now Ephron was sitting among the Hittites; and Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the hearing of the Hittites, of all who went in at the gate of his city,

rsv@Genesis:23:17 @ So the field of Ephron in Mach-pe'lah, which was to the east of Mamre, the field with the cave which was in it and all the trees that were in the field, throughout its whole area, was made over

rsv@Genesis:23:18 @ to Abraham as a possession in the presence of the Hittites, before all who went in at the gate of his city.

rsv@Genesis:23:19 @ After this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Mach-pe'lah east of Mamre (that is, Hebron) in the land of Canaan.

rsv@Genesis:23:20 @ The field and the cave that is in it were made over to Abraham as a possession for a burying place by the Hittites.

rsv@Genesis:24:1 @ Now Abraham was old, well advanced in years; and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things.

rsv@Genesis:24:9 @ So the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and swore to him concerning this matter.

rsv@Genesis:24:10 @ Then the servant took ten of his master's camels and departed, taking all sorts of choice gifts from his master; and he arose, and went to Mesopota'mia, to the city of Nahor.

rsv@Genesis:24:12 @ And he said, "O LORD, God of my master Abraham, grant me success today, I pray thee, and show steadfast love to my master Abraham.

rsv@Genesis:24:14 @ Let the maiden to whom I shall say, `Pray let down your jar that I may drink,' and who shall say, `Drink, and I will water your camels'--let her be the one whom thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac. By this I shall know that thou hast shown steadfast love to my master."

rsv@Genesis:24:15 @ Before he had done speaking, behold, Rebekah, who was born to Bethu'el the son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, came out with her water jar upon her shoulder.

rsv@Genesis:24:16 @ The maiden was very fair to look upon, a virgin, whom no man had known. She went down to the spring, and filled her jar, and came up.

rsv@Genesis:24:27 @ and said, "Blessed be the LORD, the God of my master Abraham, who has not forsaken his steadfast love and his faithfulness toward my master. As for me, the LORD has led me in the way to the house of my master's kinsmen."

rsv@Genesis:24:29 @ Rebekah had a brother whose name was Laban; and Laban ran out to the man, to the spring.

rsv@Genesis:24:30 @ When he saw the ring, and the bracelets on his sister's arms, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, "Thus the man spoke to me," he went to the man; and behold, he was standing by the camels at the spring.

rsv@Genesis:24:32 @ So the man came into the house; and Laban ungirded the camels, and gave him straw and provender for the camels, and water to wash his feet and the feet of the men who were with him.

rsv@Genesis:24:33 @ Then food was set before him to eat; but he said, "I will not eat until I have told my errand." He said, "Speak on."

rsv@Genesis:24:35 @ The LORD has greatly blessed my master, and he has become great; he has given him flocks and herds, silver and gold, menservants and maidservants, camels and asses.

rsv@Genesis:24:36 @ And Sarah my master's wife bore a son to my master when she was old; and to him he has given all that he has.

rsv@Genesis:24:37 @ My master made me swear, saying, `You shall not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell;

rsv@Genesis:24:39 @ I said to my master, `Perhaps the woman will not follow me.'

rsv@Genesis:24:42 @ "I came today to the spring, and said, `O LORD, the God of my master Abraham, if now thou wilt prosper the way which I go,

rsv@Genesis:24:44 @ and who will say to me, "Drink, and I will draw for your camels also," let her be the woman whom the LORD has appointed for my master's son.'

rsv@Genesis:24:47 @ Then I asked her, `Whose daughter are you?' She said, The daughter of Bethu'el, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bore to him.' So I put the ring on her nose, and the bracelets on her arms.

rsv@Genesis:24:48 @ Then I bowed my head and worshiped the LORD, and blessed the LORD, the God of my master Abraham, who had led me by the right way to take the daughter of my master's kinsman for his son.

rsv@Genesis:24:49 @ Now then, if you will deal loyally and truly with my master, tell me; and if not, tell me; that I may turn to the right hand or to the left."

rsv@Genesis:24:51 @ Behold, Rebekah is before you, take her and go, and let her be the wife of your master's son, as the LORD has spoken."

rsv@Genesis:24:54 @ And he and the men who were with him ate and drank, and they spent the night there. When they arose in the morning, he said, "Send me back to my master."

rsv@Genesis:24:55 @ Her brother and her mother said, "Let the maiden remain with us a while, at least ten days; after that she may go."

rsv@Genesis:24:56 @ But he said to them, "Do not delay me, since the LORD has prospered my way; let me go that I may go to my master."

rsv@Genesis:24:57 @ They said, "We will call the maiden, and ask her."

rsv@Genesis:24:62 @ Now Isaac had come from Beer-la'hai-roi, and was dwelling in the Negeb.

rsv@Genesis:24:65 @ and said to the servant, "Who is the man yonder, walking in the field to meet us?" The servant said, "It is my master." So she took her veil and covered herself.

rsv@Genesis:24:67 @ Then Isaac brought her into the tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved her. So Isaac was comforted after his mother's death.

rsv@Genesis:25:1 @ Abraham took another wife, whose name was Ketu'rah.

rsv@Genesis:25:3 @ Jokshan was the father of Sheba and Dedan. The sons of Dedan were Asshu'rim, Letu'shim, and Le-um'mim.

rsv@Genesis:25:6 @ But to the sons of his concubines Abraham gave gifts, and while he was still living he sent them away from his son Isaac, eastward to the east country.

rsv@Genesis:25:8 @ Abraham breathed his last and died in a good old age, an old man and full of years, and was gathered to his people.

rsv@Genesis:25:9 @ Isaac and Ish'mael his sons buried him in the cave of Mach-pe'lah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, east of Mamre,

rsv@Genesis:25:10 @ the field which Abraham purchased from the Hittites. There Abraham was buried, with Sarah his wife.

rsv@Genesis:25:14 @ Mishma, Dumah, Massa,

rsv@Genesis:25:17 @ (These are the years of the life of Ish'mael, a hundred and thirty-seven years; he breathed his last and died, and was gathered to his kindred.)

rsv@Genesis:25:18 @ They dwelt from Hav'ilah to Shur, which is opposite Egypt in the direction of Assyria; he settled over against all his people.

rsv@Genesis:25:19 @ These are the descendants of Isaac, Abraham's son: Abraham was the father of Isaac,

rsv@Genesis:25:20 @ and Isaac was forty years old when he took to wife Rebekah, the daughter of Bethu'el the Aramean of Paddan-aram, the sister of Laban the Aramean.

rsv@Genesis:25:21 @ And Isaac prayed to the LORD for his wife, because she was barren; and the LORD granted his prayer, and Rebekah his wife conceived.

rsv@Genesis:25:26 @ Afterward his brother came forth, and his hand had taken hold of Esau's heel; so his name was called Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them.

rsv@Genesis:25:27 @ When the boys grew up, Esau was a skilful hunter, a man of the field, while Jacob was a quiet man, dwelling in tents.

rsv@Genesis:25:29 @ Once when Jacob was boiling pottage, Esau came in from the field, and he was famished.

rsv@Genesis:25:30 @ And Esau said to Jacob, "Let me eat some of that red pottage, for I am famished!" (Therefore his name was called Edom.)

rsv@Genesis:26:1 @ Now there was a famine in the land, besides the former famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went to Gerar, to Abim'elech king of the Philistines.

rsv@Genesis:26:4 @ I will multiply your descendants as the stars of heaven, and will give to your descendants all these lands; and by your descendants all the nations of the earth shall bless themselves:

rsv@Genesis:26:7 @ When the men of the place asked him about his wife, he said, "She is my sister"; for he feared to say, "My wife," thinking, "lest the men of the place should kill me for the sake of Rebekah"; because she was fair to look upon.

rsv@Genesis:26:10 @ Abim'elech said, "What is this you have done to us? One of the people might easily have lain with your wife, and you would have brought guilt upon us."

rsv@Genesis:26:22 @ And he moved from there and dug another well, and over that they did not quarrel; so he called its name Reho'both, saying, "For now the LORD has made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land."

rsv@Genesis:26:29 @ that you will do us no harm, just as we have not touched you and have done to you nothing but good and have sent you away in peace. You are now the blessed of the LORD."

rsv@Genesis:26:30 @ So he made them a feast, and they ate and drank.

rsv@Genesis:26:34 @ When Esau was forty years old, he took to wife Judith the daughter of Be-e'ri the Hittite, and Bas'emath the daughter of Elon the Hittite;

rsv@Genesis:27:1 @ When Isaac was old and his eyes were dim so that he could not see, he called Esau his older son, and said to him, "My son"; and he answered, "Here I am."

rsv@Genesis:27:4 @ and prepare for me savory food, such as I love, and bring it to me that I may eat; that I may bless you before I die."

rsv@Genesis:27:5 @ Now Rebekah was listening when Isaac spoke to his son Esau. So when Esau went to the field to hunt for game and bring it,

rsv@Genesis:27:8 @ Now therefore, my son, obey my word as I command you.

rsv@Genesis:27:9 @ Go to the flock, and fetch me two good kids, that I may prepare from them savory food for your father, such as he loves;

rsv@Genesis:27:14 @ So he went and took them and brought them to his mother; and his mother prepared savory food, such as his father loved.

rsv@Genesis:27:19 @ Jacob said to his father, "I am Esau your first-born. I have done as you told me; now sit up and eat of my game, that you may bless me."

rsv@Genesis:27:27 @ So he came near and kissed him; and he smelled the smell of his garments, and blessed him, and said, "See, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which the LORD has blessed!

rsv@Genesis:27:30 @ As soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob, when Jacob had scarcely gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, Esau his brother came in from his hunting.

rsv@Genesis:27:33 @ Then Isaac trembled violently, and said, "Who was it then that hunted game and brought it to me, and I ate it all before you came, and I have blessed him?--yes, and he shall be blessed."

rsv@Genesis:27:35 @ But he said, "Your brother came with guile, and he has taken away your blessing."

rsv@Genesis:27:36 @ Esau said, "Is he not rightly named Jacob? For he has supplanted me these two times. He took away my birthright; and behold, now he has taken away my blessing." Then he said, "Have you not reserved a blessing for me?"

rsv@Genesis:27:46 @ Then Rebekah said to Isaac, "I am weary of my life because of the Hittite women. If Jacob marries one of the Hittite women such as these, one of the women of the land, what good will my life be to me?"

rsv@Genesis:28:2 @ Arise, go to Paddan-aram to the house of Bethu'el your mother's father; and take as wife from there one of the daughters of Laban your mother's brother.

rsv@Genesis:28:6 @ Now Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him away to Paddan-aram to take a wife from there, and that as he blessed him he charged him, "You shall not marry one of the Canaanite women,"

rsv@Genesis:28:8 @ So when Esau saw that the Canaanite women did not please Isaac his father,

rsv@Genesis:28:12 @ And he dreamed that there was a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven; and behold, the angels of God were ascending and descending on it!

rsv@Genesis:28:14 @ and your descendants shall be like the dust of the earth, and you shall spread abroad to the west and to the east and to the north and to the south; and by you and your descendants shall all the families of the earth bless themselves.

rsv@Genesis:28:17 @ And he was afraid, and said, "How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven."

rsv@Genesis:28:19 @ He called the name of that place Bethel; but the name of the city was Luz at the first.

rsv@Genesis:29:1 @ Then Jacob went on his journey, and came to the land of the people of the east.

rsv@Genesis:29:2 @ As he looked, he saw a well in the field, and lo, three flocks of sheep lying beside it; for out of that well the flocks were watered. The stone on the well's mouth was large,

rsv@Genesis:29:7 @ He said, "Behold, it is still high day, it is not time for the animals to be gathered together; water the sheep, and go, pasture them."

rsv@Genesis:29:9 @ While he was still speaking with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep; for she kept them.

rsv@Genesis:29:12 @ And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father's kinsman, and that he was Rebekah's son; and she ran and told her father.

rsv@Genesis:29:16 @ Now Laban had two daughters; the name of the older was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.

rsv@Genesis:29:17 @ Leah's eyes were weak, but Rachel was beautiful and lovely.

rsv@Genesis:29:22 @ So Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.

rsv@Genesis:29:25 @ And in the morning, behold, it was Leah; and Jacob said to Laban, "What is this you have done to me? Did I not serve with you for Rachel? Why then have you deceived me?"

rsv@Genesis:29:31 @ When the LORD saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb; but Rachel was barren.

rsv@Genesis:29:32 @ And Leah conceived and bore a son, and she called his name Reuben; for she said, "Because the LORD has looked upon my affliction; surely now my husband will love me."

rsv@Genesis:29:33 @ She conceived again and bore a son, and said, "Because the LORD has heard that I am hated, he has given me this son also"; and she called his name Simeon.

rsv@Genesis:29:34 @ Again she conceived and bore a son, and said, "Now this time my husband will be joined to me, because I have borne him three sons"; therefore his name was called Levi.

rsv@Genesis:29:35 @ And she conceived again and bore a son, and said, "This time I will praise the LORD"; therefore she called his name Judah; then she ceased bearing.

rsv@Genesis:30:2 @ Jacob's anger was kindled against Rachel, and he said, "Am I in the place of God, who has withheld from you the fruit of the womb?"

rsv@Genesis:30:4 @ So she gave him her maid Bilhah as a wife; and Jacob went in to her.

rsv@Genesis:30:6 @ Then Rachel said, "God has judged me, and has also heard my voice and given me a son"; therefore she called his name Daniel.

rsv@Genesis:30:9 @ When Leah saw that she had ceased bearing children, she took her maid Zilpah and gave her to Jacob as a wife.

rsv@Genesis:30:13 @ And Leah said, "Happy am I! For the women will call me happy"; so she called his name Asher.

rsv@Genesis:30:18 @ Leah said, "God has given me my hire because I gave my maid to my husband"; so she called his name Is'sachar.

rsv@Genesis:30:20 @ Then Leah said, "God has endowed me with a good dowry; now my husband will honor me, because I have borne him six sons"; so she called his name Zeb'ulun.

rsv@Genesis:30:23 @ She conceived and bore a son, and said, "God has taken away my reproach";

rsv@Genesis:30:27 @ But Laban said to him, "If you will allow me to say so, I have learned by divination that the LORD has blessed me because of you;

rsv@Genesis:30:30 @ For you had little before I came, and it has increased abundantly; and the LORD has blessed you wherever I turned. But now when shall I provide for my own household also?"

rsv@Genesis:30:32 @ let me pass through all your flock today, removing from it every speckled and spotted sheep and every black lamb, and the spotted and speckled among the goats; and such shall be my wages.

rsv@Genesis:30:34 @ Laban said, "Good! Let it be as you have said."

rsv@Genesis:30:35 @ But that day Laban removed the he-goats that were striped and spotted, and all the she-goats that were speckled and spotted, every one that had white on it, and every lamb that was black, and put them in charge of his sons;

rsv@Genesis:30:43 @ Thus the man grew exceedingly rich, and had large flocks, maidservants and menservants, and camels and asses.

rsv@Genesis:31:1 @ Now Jacob heard that the sons of Laban were saying, "Jacob has taken all that was our father's; and from what was our father's he has gained all this wealth."

rsv@Genesis:31:2 @ And Jacob saw that Laban did not regard him with favor as before.

rsv@Genesis:31:4 @ So Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah into the field where his flock was,

rsv@Genesis:31:5 @ and said to them, "I see that your father does not regard me with favor as he did before. But the God of my father has been with me.

rsv@Genesis:31:7 @ yet your father has cheated me and changed my wages ten times, but God did not permit him to harm me.

rsv@Genesis:31:9 @ Thus God has taken away the cattle of your father, and given them to me.

rsv@Genesis:31:10 @ In the mating season of the flock I lifted up my eyes, and saw in a dream that the he-goats which leaped upon the flock were striped, spotted, and mottled.

rsv@Genesis:31:15 @ Are we not regarded by him as foreigners? For he has sold us, and he has been using up the money given for us.

rsv@Genesis:31:16 @ All the property which God has taken away from our father belongs to us and to our children; now then, whatever God has said to you, do."

rsv@Genesis:31:22 @ When it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob had fled,

rsv@Genesis:31:29 @ It is in my power to do you harm; but the God of your father spoke to me last night, saying, `Take heed that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad.'

rsv@Genesis:31:31 @ Jacob answered Laban, "Because I was afraid, for I thought that you would take your daughters from me by force.

rsv@Genesis:31:39 @ That which was torn by wild beasts I did not bring to you; I bore the loss of it myself; of my hand you required it, whether stolen by day or stolen by night.

rsv@Genesis:31:40 @ Thus I was; by day the heat consumed me, and the cold by night, and my sleep fled from my eyes.

rsv@Genesis:31:42 @ If the God of my father, the God of Abraham and the Fear of Isaac, had not been on my side, surely now you would have sent me away empty-handed. God saw my affliction and the labor of my hands, and rebuked you last night."

rsv@Genesis:31:45 @ So Jacob took a stone, and set it up as a pillar.

rsv@Genesis:31:52 @ This heap is a witness, and the pillar is a witness, that I will not pass over this heap to you, and you will not pass over this heap and this pillar to me, for harm.

rsv@Genesis:32:5 @ and I have oxen, asses, flocks, menservants, and maidservants; and I have sent to tell my lord, in order that I may find favor in your sight.'"

rsv@Genesis:32:7 @ Then Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed; and he divided the people that were with him, and the flocks and herds and camels, into two companies,

rsv@Genesis:32:10 @ I am not worthy of the least of all the steadfast love and all the faithfulness which thou hast shown to thy servant, for with only my staff I crossed this Jordan; and now I have become two companies.

rsv@Genesis:32:12 @ But thou didst say, `I will do you good, and make your descendants as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.'"

rsv@Genesis:32:15 @ thirty milch camels and their colts, forty cows and ten bulls, twenty she-asses and ten he-asses.

rsv@Genesis:32:16 @ These he delivered into the hand of his servants, every drove by itself, and said to his servants, "Pass on before me, and put a space between drove and drove."

rsv@Genesis:32:17 @ He instructed the foremost, "When Esau my brother meets you, and asks you, `To whom do you belong? Where are you going? And whose are these before you?'

rsv@Genesis:32:20 @ and you shall say, `Moreover your servant Jacob is behind us.'" For he thought, "I may appease him with the present that goes before me, and afterwards I shall see his face; perhaps he will accept me."

rsv@Genesis:32:21 @ So the present passed on before him; and he himself lodged that night in the camp.

rsv@Genesis:32:24 @ And Jacob was left alone; and a man wrestled with him until the breaking of the day.

rsv@Genesis:32:25 @ When the man saw that he did not prevail against Jacob, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and Jacob's thigh was put out of joint as he wrestled with him.

rsv@Genesis:32:29 @ Then Jacob asked him, "Tell me, I pray, your name." But he said, "Why is it that you ask my name?" And there he blessed him.

rsv@Genesis:32:31 @ The sun rose upon him as he passed Penu'el, limping because of his thigh.

rsv@Genesis:33:1 @ And Jacob lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, Esau was coming, and four hundred men with him. So he divided the children among Leah and Rachel and the two maids.

rsv@Genesis:33:2 @ And he put the maids with their children in front, then Leah with her children, and Rachel and Joseph last of all.

rsv@Genesis:33:5 @ And when Esau raised his eyes and saw the women and children, he said, "Who are these with you?" Jacob said, "The children whom God has graciously given your servant."

rsv@Genesis:33:7 @ Leah likewise and her children drew near and bowed down; and last Joseph and Rachel drew near, and they bowed down.

rsv@Genesis:33:11 @ Accept, I pray you, my gift that is brought to you, because God has dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough." Thus he urged him, and he took it.

rsv@Genesis:33:14 @ Let my lord pass on before his servant, and I will lead on slowly, according to the pace of the cattle which are before me and according to the pace of the children, until I come to my lord in Se'ir."

rsv@Genesis:34:3 @ And his soul was drawn to Dinah the daughter of Jacob; he loved the maiden and spoke tenderly to her.

rsv@Genesis:34:12 @ Ask of me ever so much as marriage present and gift, and I will give according as you say to me; only give me the maiden to be my wife."

rsv@Genesis:34:15 @ Only on this condition will we consent to you: that you will become as we are and every male of you be circumcised.

rsv@Genesis:34:18 @ Their words pleased Hamor and Hamor's son Shechem.

rsv@Genesis:34:19 @ And the young man did not delay to do the thing, because he had delight in Jacob's daughter. Now he was the most honored of all his family.

rsv@Genesis:34:22 @ Only on this condition will the men agree to dwell with us, to become one people: that every male among us be circumcised as they are circumcised.

rsv@Genesis:34:23 @ Will not their cattle, their property and all their beasts be ours? Only let us agree with them, and they will dwell with us."

rsv@Genesis:34:24 @ And all who went out of the gate of his city hearkened to Hamor and his son Shechem; and every male was circumcised, all who went out of the gate of his city.

rsv@Genesis:34:28 @ they took their flocks and their herds, their asses, and whatever was in the city and in the field;

rsv@Genesis:34:29 @ all their wealth, all their little ones and their wives, all that was in the houses, they captured and made their prey.

rsv@Genesis:37:33 @ And he recognized it, and said, "It is my son's robe; a wild beast has devoured him; Joseph is without doubt torn to pieces."

rsv@Genesis:38:23 @ And Judah replied, "Let her keep the things as her own, lest we be laughed at; you see, I sent this kid, and you could not find her."

rsv@Genesis:38:24 @ About three months later Judah was told, "Tamar your daughter-in-law has played the harlot; and moreover she is with child by harlotry." And Judah said, "Bring her out, and let her be burned."

rsv@Genesis:38:25 @ As she was being brought out, she sent word to her father-in-law, "By the man to whom these belong, I am with child." And she said, "Mark, I pray you, whose these are, the signet and the cord and the staff."

rsv@Genesis:38:26 @ Then Judah acknowledged them and said, "She is more righteous than I, inasmuch as I did not give her to my son Shelah." And he did not lie with her again.

rsv@Genesis:38:28 @ And when she was in labor, one put out a hand; and the midwife took and bound on his hand a scarlet thread, saying, "This came out first."

rsv@Genesis:38:29 @ But as he drew back his hand, behold, his brother came out; and she said, "What a breach you have made for yourself!" Therefore his name was called Perez.

rsv@Genesis:39:1 @ Now Joseph was taken down to Egypt, and Pot'i-phar, an officer of Pharaoh, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him from the Ish'maelites who had brought him down there.

rsv@Genesis:39:23 @ the keeper of the prison paid no heed to anything that was in Joseph's care, because the LORD was with him; and whatever he did, the LORD made it prosper.

rsv@Genesis:40:2 @ And Pharaoh was angry with his two officers, the chief butler and the chief baker,

rsv@Genesis:40:3 @ and he put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, in the prison where Joseph was confined.

rsv@Genesis:40:7 @ So he asked Pharaoh's officers who were with him in custody in his master's house, "Why are your faces downcast today?"

rsv@Genesis:40:9 @ So the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, "In my dream there was a vine before me,

rsv@Genesis:40:10 @ and on the vine there were three branches; as soon as it budded, its blossoms shot forth, and the clusters ripened into grapes.

rsv@Genesis:40:11 @ Pharaoh's cup was in my hand; and I took the grapes and pressed them into Pharaoh's cup, and placed the cup in Pharaoh's hand."

rsv@Genesis:40:13 @ within three days Pharaoh will lift up your head and restore you to your office; and you shall place Pharaoh's cup in his hand as formerly, when you were his butler.

rsv@Genesis:40:16 @ When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was favorable, he said to Joseph, "I also had a dream: there were three cake baskets on my head,

rsv@Genesis:40:17 @ and in the uppermost basket there were all sorts of baked food for Pharaoh, but the birds were eating it out of the basket on my head."

rsv@Genesis:40:18 @ And Joseph answered, "This is its interpretation: the three baskets are three days;

rsv@Genesis:40:22 @ but he hanged the chief baker, as Joseph had interpreted to them.

rsv@Genesis:41:1 @ After two whole years, Pharaoh dreamed that he was standing by the Nile,

rsv@Genesis:41:2 @ and behold, there came up out of the Nile seven cows sleek and fat, and they fed in the reed grass.

rsv@Genesis:41:5 @ And he fell asleep and dreamed a second time; and behold, seven ears of grain, plump and good, were growing on one stalk.

rsv@Genesis:41:6 @ And behold, after them sprouted seven ears, thin and blighted by the east wind.

rsv@Genesis:41:7 @ And the thin ears swallowed up the seven plump and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and behold, it was a dream.

rsv@Genesis:41:8 @ So in the morning his spirit was troubled; and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt and all its wise men; and Pharaoh told them his dream, but there was none who could interpret it to Pharaoh.

rsv@Genesis:41:10 @ When Pharaoh was angry with his servants, and put me and the chief baker in custody in the house of the captain of the guard,

rsv@Genesis:41:12 @ A young Hebrew was there with us, a servant of the captain of the guard; and when we told him, he interpreted our dreams to us, giving an interpretation to each man according to his dream.

rsv@Genesis:41:13 @ And as he interpreted to us, so it came to pass; I was restored to my office, and the baker was hanged."

rsv@Genesis:41:14 @ Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon; and when he had shaved himself and changed his clothes, he came in before Pharaoh.

rsv@Genesis:41:17 @ Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Behold, in my dream I was standing on the banks of the Nile;

rsv@Genesis:41:18 @ and seven cows, fat and sleek, came up out of the Nile and fed in the reed grass;

rsv@Genesis:41:19 @ and seven other cows came up after them, poor and very gaunt and thin, such as I had never seen in all the land of Egypt.

rsv@Genesis:41:21 @ but when they had eaten them no one would have known that they had eaten them, for they were still as gaunt as at the beginning. Then I awoke.

rsv@Genesis:41:23 @ and seven ears, withered, thin, and blighted by the east wind, sprouted after them,

rsv@Genesis:41:24 @ and the thin ears swallowed up the seven good ears. And I told it to the magicians, but there was no one who could explain it to me."

rsv@Genesis:41:25 @ Then Joseph said to Pharaoh, "The dream of Pharaoh is one; God has revealed to Pharaoh what he is about to do.

rsv@Genesis:41:27 @ The seven lean and gaunt cows that came up after them are seven years, and the seven empty ears blighted by the east wind are also seven years of famine.

rsv@Genesis:41:28 @ It is as I told Pharaoh, God has shown to Pharaoh what he is about to do.

rsv@Genesis:41:31 @ and the plenty will be unknown in the land by reason of that famine which will follow, for it will be very grievous.

rsv@Genesis:41:32 @ And the doubling of Pharaoh's dream means that the thing is fixed by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.

rsv@Genesis:41:38 @ And Pharaoh said to his servants, "Can we find such a man as this, in whom is the Spirit of God?"

rsv@Genesis:41:39 @ So Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Since God has shown you all this, there is none so discreet and wise as you are;

rsv@Genesis:41:40 @ you shall be over my house, and all my people shall order themselves as you command; only as regards the throne will I be greater than you."

rsv@Genesis:41:45 @ And Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaph'enath-pane'ah; and he gave him in marriage As'enath, the daughter of Poti'phera priest of On. So Joseph went out over the land of Egypt.

rsv@Genesis:41:46 @ Joseph was thirty years old when he entered the service of Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went through all the land of Egypt.

rsv@Genesis:41:48 @ and he gathered up all the food of the seven years when there was plenty in the land of Egypt, and stored up food in the cities; he stored up in every city the food from the fields around it.

rsv@Genesis:41:49 @ And Joseph stored up grain in great abundance, like the sand of the sea, until he ceased to measure it, for it could not be measured.

rsv@Genesis:41:50 @ Before the year of famine came, Joseph had two sons, whom As'enath, the daughter of Poti'phera priest of On, bore to him.

rsv@Genesis:41:51 @ Joseph called the name of the first-born Manas'seh, "For," he said, "God has made me forget all my hardship and all my father's house."

rsv@Genesis:41:52 @ The name of the second he called E'phraim, "For God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction."

rsv@Genesis:41:54 @ and the seven years of famine began to come, as Joseph had said. There was famine in all lands; but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.

rsv@Genesis:41:55 @ When all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread; and Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, "Go to Joseph; what he says to you, do."

rsv@Genesis:41:56 @ So when the famine had spread over all the land, Joseph opened all the storehouses, and sold to the Egyptians, for the famine was severe in the land of Egypt.

rsv@Genesis:41:57 @ Moreover, all the earth came to Egypt to Joseph to buy grain, because the famine was severe over all the earth.

rsv@Genesis:42:1 @ When Jacob learned that there was grain in Egypt, he said to his sons, "Why do you look at one another?"

rsv@Genesis:42:5 @ Thus the sons of Israel came to buy among the others who came, for the famine was in the land of Canaan.

rsv@Genesis:42:6 @ Now Joseph was governor over the land; he it was who sold to all the people of the land. And Joseph's brothers came, and bowed themselves before him with their faces to the ground.

rsv@Genesis:42:14 @ But Joseph said to them, "It is as I said to you, you are spies.

rsv@Genesis:42:23 @ They did not know that Joseph understood them, for there was an interpreter between them.

rsv@Genesis:42:25 @ And Joseph gave orders to fill their bags with grain, and to replace every man's money in his sack, and to give them provisions for the journey. This was done for them.

rsv@Genesis:42:26 @ Then they loaded their asses with their grain, and departed.

rsv@Genesis:42:27 @ And as one of them opened his sack to give his ass provender at the lodging place, he saw his money in the mouth of his sack;

rsv@Genesis:42:28 @ and he said to his brothers, "My money has been put back; here it is in the mouth of my sack!" At this their hearts failed them, and they turned trembling to one another, saying, "What is this that God has done to us?"

rsv@Genesis:42:35 @ As they emptied their sacks, behold, every man's bundle of money was in his sack; and when they and their father saw their bundles of money, they were dismayed.

rsv@Genesis:42:36 @ And Jacob their father said to them, "You have bereaved me of my children: Joseph is no more, and Simeon is no more, and now you would take Benjamin; all this has come upon me."

rsv@Genesis:43:1 @ Now the famine was severe in the land.

rsv@Genesis:43:6 @ Israel said, "Why did you treat me so ill as to tell the man that you had another brother?"

rsv@Genesis:43:7 @ They replied, "The man questioned us carefully about ourselves and our kindred, saying, `Is your father still alive? Have you another brother?' What we told him was in answer to these questions; could we in any way know that he would say, `Bring your brother down'?"

rsv@Genesis:43:12 @ Take double the money with you; carry back with you the money that was returned in the mouth of your sacks; perhaps it was an oversight.

rsv@Genesis:43:17 @ The man did as Joseph bade him, and brought the men to Joseph's house.

rsv@Genesis:43:18 @ And the men were afraid because they were brought to Joseph's house, and they said, "It is because of the money, which was replaced in our sacks the first time, that we are brought in, so that he may seek occasion against us and fall upon us, to make slaves of us and seize our asses."

rsv@Genesis:43:21 @ and when we came to the lodging place we opened our sacks, and there was every man's money in the mouth of his sack, our money in full weight; so we have brought it again with us,

rsv@Genesis:43:24 @ And when the man had brought the men into Joseph's house, and given them water, and they had washed their feet, and when he had given their asses provender,

rsv@Genesis:43:30 @ Then Joseph made haste, for his heart yearned for his brother, and he sought a place to weep. And he entered his chamber and wept there.

rsv@Genesis:43:31 @ Then he washed his face and came out; and controlling himself he said, "Let food be served."

rsv@Genesis:43:34 @ Portions were taken to them from Joseph's table, but Benjamin's portion was five times as much as any of theirs. So they drank and were merry with him.

rsv@Genesis:44:1 @ Then he commanded the steward of his house, "Fill the men's sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put each man's money in the mouth of his sack,

rsv@Genesis:44:2 @ and put my cup, the silver cup, in the mouth of the sack of the youngest, with his money for the grain." And he did as Joseph told him.

rsv@Genesis:44:3 @ As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away with their asses.

rsv@Genesis:44:7 @ They said to him, "Why does my lord speak such words as these? Far be it from your servants that they should do such a thing!

rsv@Joshua:6:8 @ And as Joshua had commanded the people, the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams' horns before the LORD went forward, blowing the trumpets, with the ark of the covenant of the LORD following them.

rsv@Joshua:7:2 @ Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is near Beth-a'ven, east of Bethel, and said to them, "Go up and spy out the land." And the men went up and spied out Ai.

rsv@Joshua:7:5 @ and the men of Ai killed about thirty-six men of them, and chased them before the gate as far as Sheb'arim, and slew them at the descent. And the hearts of the people melted, and became as water.

rsv@Joshua:7:8 @ O Lord, what can I say, when Israel has turned their backs before their enemies!

rsv@Joshua:7:11 @ Israel has sinned; they have transgressed my covenant which I commanded them; they have taken some of the devoted things; they have stolen, and lied, and put them among their own stuff.

rsv@Joshua:7:22 @ So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent; and behold, it was hidden in his tent with the silver underneath.

rsv@Joshua:7:24 @ And Joshua and all Israel with him took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver and the mantle and the bar of gold, and his sons and daughters, and his oxen and asses and sheep, and his tent, and all that he had; and they brought them up to the Valley of Achor.

rsv@Joshua:8:2 @ and you shall do to Ai and its king as you did to Jericho and its king; only its spoil and its cattle you shall take as booty for yourselves; lay an ambush against the city, behind it."

rsv@Joshua:8:6 @ and they will come out after us, till we have drawn them away from the city; for they will say, `They are fleeing from us, as before.' So we will flee from them;

rsv@Joshua:8:13 @ So they stationed the forces, the main encampment which was north of the city and its rear guard west of the city. But Joshua spent that night in the valley.

rsv@Joshua:8:14 @ And when the king of Ai saw this he and all his people, the men of the city, made haste and went out early to the descent toward the Arabah to meet Israel in battle; but he did not know that there was an ambush against him behind the city.

rsv@Joshua:8:16 @ So all the people who were in the city were called together to pursue them, and as they pursued Joshua they were drawn away from the city.

rsv@Joshua:8:17 @ There was not a man left in Ai or Bethel, who did not go out after Israel; they left the city open, and pursued Israel.

rsv@Joshua:8:18 @ Then the LORD said to Joshua, "Stretch out the javelin that is in your hand toward Ai; for I will give it into your hand." And Joshua stretched out the javelin that was in his hand toward the city.

rsv@Joshua:8:19 @ And the ambush rose quickly out of their place, and as soon as he had stretched out his hand, they ran and entered the city and took it; and they made haste to set the city on fire.

rsv@Joshua:8:22 @ And the others came forth from the city against them; so they were in the midst of Israel, some on this side, and some on that side; and Israel smote them, until there was left none that survived or escaped.

rsv@Joshua:8:24 @ When Israel had finished slaughtering all the inhabitants of Ai in the open wilderness where they pursued them and all of them to the very last had fallen by the edge of the sword, all Israel returned to Ai, and smote it with the edge of the sword.

rsv@Joshua:8:27 @ Only the cattle and the spoil of that city Israel took as their booty, according to the word of the LORD which he commanded Joshua.

rsv@Joshua:8:28 @ So Joshua burned Ai, and made it for ever a heap of ruins, as it is to this day.

rsv@Joshua:8:29 @ And he hanged the king of Ai on a tree until evening; and at the going down of the sun Joshua commanded, and they took his body down from the tree, and cast it at the entrance of the gate of the city, and raised over it a great heap of stones, which stands there to this day.

rsv@Judges:6:25 @ That night the LORD said to him, "Take your father's bull, the second bull seven years old, and pull down the altar of Ba'al which your father has, and cut down the Ashe'rah that is beside it;

rsv@Judges:6:26 @ and build an altar to the LORD your God on the top of the stronghold here, with stones laid in due order; then take the second bull, and offer it as a burnt offering with the wood of the Ashe'rah which you shall cut down."

rsv@Judges:6:27 @ So Gideon took ten men of his servants, and did as the LORD had told him; but because he was too afraid of his family and the men of the town to do it by day, he did it by night.

rsv@Judges:6:28 @ When the men of the town rose early in the morning, behold, the altar of Ba'al was broken down, and the Ashe'rah beside it was cut down, and the second bull was offered upon the altar which had been built.

rsv@Judges:6:29 @ And they said to one another, "Who has done this thing?" And after they had made search and inquired, they said, "Gideon the son of Jo'ash has done this thing."

rsv@Judges:6:30 @ Then the men of the town said to Jo'ash, "Bring out your son, that he may die, for he has pulled down the altar of Ba'al and cut down the Ashe'rah beside it."

rsv@Judges:6:31 @ But Jo'ash said to all who were arrayed against him, "Will you contend for Ba'al? Or will you defend his cause? Whoever contends for him shall be put to death by morning. If he is a god, let him contend for himself, because his altar has been pulled down."

rsv@Judges:6:32 @ Therefore on that day he was called Jerubba'al, that is to say, "Let Ba'al contend against him," because he pulled down his altar.

rsv@Judges:6:33 @ Then all the Mid'ianites and the Amal'ekites and the people of the East came together, and crossing the Jordan they encamped in the Valley of Jezreel.

rsv@Judges:6:35 @ And he sent messengers throughout all Manas'seh; and they too were called out to follow him. And he sent messengers to Asher, Zeb'ulun, and Naph'tali; and they went up to meet them.

rsv@Judges:6:36 @ Then Gideon said to God, "If thou wilt deliver Israel by my hand, as thou hast said,

rsv@Judges:6:37 @ behold, I am laying a fleece of wool on the threshing floor; if there is dew on the fleece alone, and it is dry on all the ground, then I shall know that thou wilt deliver Israel by my hand, as thou hast said."

rsv@Judges:6:38 @ And it was so. When he rose early next morning and squeezed the fleece, he wrung enough dew from the fleece to fill a bowl with water.

rsv@Judges:6:40 @ And God did so that night; for it was dry on the fleece only, and on all the ground there was dew.

rsv@Judges:7:1 @ Then Jerubba'al (that is, Gideon) and all the people who were with him rose early and encamped beside the spring of Harod; and the camp of Mid'ian was north of them, by the hill of Moreh, in the valley.

rsv@Judges:7:2 @ The LORD said to Gideon, "The people with you are too many for me to give the Mid'ianites into their hand, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, `My own hand has delivered me.'

rsv@Judges:7:5 @ So he brought the people down to the water; and the LORD said to Gideon, "Every one that laps the water with his tongue, as a dog laps, you shall set by himself; likewise every one that kneels down to drink."

rsv@Judges:7:6 @ And the number of those that lapped, putting their hands to their mouths, was three hundred men; but all the rest of the people knelt down to drink water.

rsv@Judges:7:8 @ So he took the jars of the people from their hands, and their trumpets; and he sent all the rest of Israel every man to his tent, but retained the three hundred men; and the camp of Mid'ian was below him in the valley.

rsv@Judges:7:12 @ And the Mid'ianites and the Amal'ekites and all the people of the East lay along the valley like locusts for multitude; and their camels were without number, as the sand which is upon the seashore for multitude.

rsv@Judges:7:13 @ When Gideon came, behold, a man was telling a dream to his comrade; and he said, "Behold, I dreamed a dream; and lo, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the camp of Mid'ian, and came to the tent, and struck it so that it fell, and turned it upside down, so that the tent lay flat."

rsv@Judges:7:14 @ And his comrade answered, "This is no other than the sword of Gideon the son of Jo'ash, a man of Israel; into his hand God has given Mid'ian and all the host."

rsv@Judges:7:15 @ When Gideon heard the telling of the dream and its interpretation, he worshiped; and he returned to the camp of Israel, and said, "Arise; for the LORD has given the host of Mid'ian into your hand."

rsv@Judges:7:17 @ And he said to them, "Look at me, and do likewise; when I come to the outskirts of the camp, do as I do.

rsv@Judges:7:19 @ So Gideon and the hundred men who were with him came to the outskirts of the camp at the beginning of the middle watch, when they had just set the watch; and they blew the trumpets and smashed the jars that were in their hands.

rsv@Judges:7:22 @ When they blew the three hundred trumpets, the LORD set every man's sword against his fellow and against all the army; and the army fled as far as Beth-shit'tah toward Zer'erah, as far as the border of A'bel-meho'lah, by Tabbath.

rsv@Judges:7:23 @ And the men of Israel were called out from Naph'tali and from Asher and from all Manas'seh, and they pursued after Mid'ian.

rsv@Judges:7:24 @ And Gideon sent messengers throughout all the hill country of E'phraim, saying, "Come down against the Mid'ianites and seize the waters against them, as far as Beth-bar'ah, and also the Jordan." So all the men of E'phraim were called out, and they seized the waters as far as Beth-bar'ah, and also the Jordan.

rsv@Judges:7:25 @ And they took the two princes of Mid'ian, Oreb and Zeeb; they killed Oreb at the rock of Oreb, and Zeeb they killed at the wine press of Zeeb, as they pursued Mid'ian; and they brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon beyond the Jordan.

rsv@Judges:8:3 @ God has given into your hands the princes of Mid'ian, Oreb and Zeeb; what have I been able to do in comparison with you?" Then their anger against him was abated, when he had said this.

rsv@Judges:8:4 @ And Gideon came to the Jordan and passed over, he and the three hundred men who were with him, faint yet pursuing.

rsv@Judges:8:7 @ And Gideon said, "Well then, when the LORD has given Zebah and Zalmun'na into my hand, I will flail your flesh with the thorns of the wilderness and with briers."

rsv@Judges:8:8 @ And from there he went up to Penu'el, and spoke to them in the same way; and the men of Penu'el answered him as the men of Succoth had answered.

rsv@Judges:8:10 @ Now Zebah and Zalmun'na were in Karkor with their army, about fifteen thousand men, all who were left of all the army of the people of the East; for there had fallen a hundred and twenty thousand men who drew the sword.

rsv@Judges:8:11 @ And Gideon went up by the caravan route east of Nobah and Jog'behah, and attacked the army; for the army was off its guard.

rsv@Judges:8:13 @ Then Gideon the son of Jo'ash returned from the battle by the ascent of Heres.

rsv@Judges:8:18 @ Then he said to Zebah and Zalmun'na, "Where are the men whom you slew at Tabor?" They answered, "As you are, so were they, every one of them; they resembled the sons of a king."

rsv@Judges:8:19 @ And he said, "They were my brothers, the sons of my mother; as the LORD lives, if you had saved them alive, I would not slay you."

rsv@Judges:8:20 @ And he said to Jether his first-born, "Rise, and slay them." But the youth did not draw his sword; for he was afraid, because he was still a youth.

rsv@Judges:8:21 @ Then Zebah and Zalmun'na said, "Rise yourself, and fall upon us; for as the man is, so is his strength." And Gideon arose and slew Zebah and Zalmun'na; and he took the crescents that were on the necks of their camels.

rsv@Judges:8:25 @ And they answered, "We will willingly give them." And they spread a garment, and every man cast in it the earrings of his spoil.

rsv@Judges:8:26 @ And the weight of the golden earrings that he requested was one thousand seven hundred shekels of gold; besides the crescents and the pendants and the purple garments worn by the kings of Mid'ian, and besides the collars that were about the necks of their camels.

rsv@Judges:8:28 @ So Mid'ian was subdued before the people of Israel, and they lifted up their heads no more. And the land had rest forty years in the days of Gideon.

rsv@Judges:8:29 @ Jerubba'al the son of Jo'ash went and dwelt in his own house.

rsv@Judges:8:31 @ And his concubine who was in Shechem also bore him a son, and he called his name Abim'elech.

rsv@Judges:8:32 @ And Gideon the son of Jo'ash died in a good old age, and was buried in the tomb of Jo'ash his father, at Ophrah of the Abiez'rites.

rsv@Judges:8:33 @ As soon as Gideon died, the people of Israel turned again and played the harlot after the Ba'als, and made Ba'al-be'rith their god.

rsv@Judges:9:5 @ And he went to his father's house at Ophrah, and slew his brothers the sons of Jerubba'al, seventy men, upon one stone; but Jotham the youngest son of Jerubba'al was left, for he hid himself.

rsv@Judges:9:7 @ When it was told to Jotham, he went and stood on the top of Mount Ger'izim, and cried aloud and said to them, "Listen to me, you men of Shechem, that God may listen to you.

rsv@Judges:9:16 @ "Now therefore, if you acted in good faith and honor when you made Abim'elech king, and if you have dealt well with Jerubba'al and his house, and have done to him as his deeds deserved--

rsv@Judges:9:25 @ And the men of Shechem put men in ambush against him on the mountain tops, and they robbed all who passed by them along that way; and it was told Abim'elech.

rsv@Judges:9:29 @ Would that this people were under my hand! then I would remove Abim'elech. I would say to Abim'elech, `Increase your army, and come out.'"

rsv@Judges:9:30 @ When Zebul the ruler of the city heard the words of Ga'al the son of Ebed, his anger was kindled.

rsv@Judges:9:33 @ Then in the morning, as soon as the sun is up, rise early and rush upon the city; and when he and the men that are with him come out against you, you may do to them as occasion offers."

rsv@Judges:9:36 @ And when Ga'al saw the men, he said to Zebul, "Look, men are coming down from the mountain tops!" And Zebul said to him, "You see the shadow of the mountains as if they were men."

rsv@Judges:9:40 @ And Abim'elech chased him, and he fled before him; and many fell wounded, up to the entrance of the gate.

rsv@Judges:9:42 @ On the following day the men went out into the fields. And Abim'elech was told.

rsv@Judges:9:44 @ Abim'elech and the company that was with him rushed forward and stood at the entrance of the gate of the city, while the two companies rushed upon all who were in the fields and slew them.

rsv@Judges:9:47 @ Abim'elech was told that all the people of the Tower of Shechem were gathered together.

rsv@Judges:9:48 @ And Abim'elech went up to Mount Zalmon, he and all the men that were with him; and Abim'elech took an axe in his hand, and cut down a bundle of brushwood, and took it up and laid it on his shoulder. And he said to the men that were with him, "What you have seen me do, make haste to do, as I have done."

rsv@Judges:9:51 @ But there was a strong tower within the city, and all the people of the city fled to it, all the men and women, and shut themselves in; and they went to the roof of the tower.

rsv@Judges:9:54 @ Then he called hastily to the young man his armor-bearer, and said to him, "Draw your sword and kill me, lest men say of me, `A woman killed him.'" And his young man thrust him through, and he died.

rsv@Judges:9:55 @ And when the men of Israel saw that Abim'elech was dead, they departed every man to his home.

rsv@Judges:10:2 @ And he judged Israel twenty-three years. Then he died, and was buried at Shamir.

rsv@Judges:10:4 @ And he had thirty sons who rode on thirty asses; and they had thirty cities, called Hav'voth-ja'ir to this day, which are in the land of Gilead.

rsv@Judges:10:5 @ And Ja'ir died, and was buried in Kamon.

rsv@Judges:10:6 @ And the people of Israel again did what was evil in the sight of the LORD, and served the Ba'als and the Ash'taroth, the gods of Syria, the gods of Sidon, the gods of Moab, the gods of the Ammonites, and the gods of the Philistines; and they forsook the LORD, and did not serve him.

rsv@Judges:10:7 @ And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of the Philistines and into the hand of the Ammonites,

rsv@Judges:10:9 @ And the Ammonites crossed the Jordan to fight also against Judah and against Benjamin and against the house of E'phraim; so that Israel was sorely distressed.

rsv@Judges:11:1 @ Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty warrior, but he was the son of a harlot. Gilead was the father of Jephthah.

rsv@Judges:11:10 @ And the elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, "The LORD will be witness between us; we will surely do as you say."

rsv@Judges:11:17 @ Israel then sent messengers to the king of Edom, saying, `Let us pass, we pray, through your land'; but the king of Edom would not listen. And they sent also to the king of Moab, but he would not consent. So Israel remained at Kadesh.

rsv@Judges:11:18 @ Then they journeyed through the wilderness, and went around the land of Edom and the land of Moab, and arrived on the east side of the land of Moab, and camped on the other side of the Arnon; but they did not enter the territory of Moab, for the Arnon was the boundary of Moab.

rsv@Judges:11:19 @ Israel then sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, king of Heshbon; and Israel said to him, `Let us pass, we pray, through your land to our country.'

rsv@Judges:11:20 @ But Sihon did not trust Israel to pass through his territory; so Sihon gathered all his people together, and encamped at Jahaz, and fought with Israel.

rsv@Judges:11:24 @ Will you not possess what Chemosh your god gives you to possess? And all that the LORD our God has dispossessed before us, we will possess.

rsv@Judges:11:29 @ Then the Spirit of the LORD came upon Jephthah, and he passed through Gilead and Manas'seh, and passed on to Mizpah of Gilead, and from Mizpah of Gilead he passed on to the Ammonites.

rsv@Judges:11:33 @ And he smote them from Aro'er to the neighborhood of Minnith, twenty cities, and as far as Abel-keramim, with a very great slaughter. So the Ammonites were subdued before the people of Israel.

rsv@Judges:11:34 @ Then Jephthah came to his home at Mizpah; and behold, his daughter came out to meet him with timbrels and with dances; she was his only child; beside her he had neither son nor daughter.

rsv@Judges:11:35 @ And when he saw her, he rent his clothes, and said, "Alas, my daughter! you have brought me very low, and you have become the cause of great trouble to me; for I have opened my mouth to the LORD, and I cannot take back my vow."

rsv@Judges:11:36 @ And she said to him, "My father, if you have opened your mouth to the LORD, do to me according to what has gone forth from your mouth, now that the LORD has avenged you on your enemies, on the Ammonites."

rsv@Judges:18:31 @ So they set up Micah's graven image which he made, as long as the house of God was at Shiloh.

rsv@Judges:19:1 @ In those days, when there was no king in Israel, a certain Levite was sojourning in the remote parts of the hill country of E'phraim, who took to himself a concubine from Bethlehem in Judah.

rsv@Judges:19:2 @ And his concubine became angry with him, and she went away from him to her father's house at Bethlehem in Judah, and was there some four months.

rsv@Judges:19:3 @ Then her husband arose and went after her, to speak kindly to her and bring her back. He had with him his servant and a couple of asses. And he came to her father's house; and when the girl's father saw him, he came with joy to meet him.

rsv@Judges:19:6 @ So the two men sat and ate and drank together; and the girl's father said to the man, "Be pleased to spend the night, and let your heart be merry."

rsv@Judges:19:9 @ And when the man and his concubine and his servant rose up to depart, his father-in-law, the girl's father, said to him, "Behold, now the day has waned toward evening; pray tarry all night. Behold, the day draws to its close; lodge here and let your heart be merry; and tomorrow you shall arise early in the morning for your journey, and go home."

rsv@Judges:19:10 @ But the man would not spend the night; he rose up and departed, and arrived opposite Jebus (that is, Jerusalem). He had with him a couple of saddled asses, and his concubine was with him.

rsv@Judges:19:11 @ When they were near Jebus, the day was far spent, and the servant said to his master, "Come now, let us turn aside to this city of the Jeb'usites, and spend the night in it."

rsv@Judges:19:12 @ And his master said to him, "We will not turn aside into the city of foreigners, who do not belong to the people of Israel; but we will pass on to Gib'e-ah."

rsv@Judges:19:14 @ So they passed on and went their way; and the sun went down on them near Gib'e-ah, which belongs to Benjamin,

rsv@Judges:19:15 @ and they turned aside there, to go in and spend the night at Gib'e-ah. And he went in and sat down in the open square of the city; for no man took them into his house to spend the night.

rsv@Judges:19:16 @ And behold, an old man was coming from his work in the field at evening; the man was from the hill country of E'phraim, and he was sojourning in Gib'e-ah; the men of the place were Benjaminites.

rsv@Judges:19:18 @ And he said to him, "We are passing from Bethlehem in Judah to the remote parts of the hill country of E'phraim, from which I come. I went to Bethlehem in Judah; and I am going to my home; and nobody takes me into his house.

rsv@Judges:19:19 @ We have straw and provender for our asses, with bread and wine for me and your maidservant and the young man with your servants; there is no lack of anything."

rsv@Judges:19:21 @ So he brought him into his house, and gave the asses provender; and they washed their feet, and ate and drank.

rsv@Judges:19:22 @ As they were making their hearts merry, behold, the men of the city, base fellows, beset the house round about, beating on the door; and they said to the old man, the master of the house, "Bring out the man who came into your house, that we may know him."

rsv@Judges:19:23 @ And the man, the master of the house, went out to them and said to them, "No, my brethren, do not act so wickedly; seeing that this man has come into my house, do not do this vile thing.

rsv@Judges:19:25 @ But the men would not listen to him. So the man seized his concubine, and put her out to them; and they knew her, and abused her all night until the morning. And as the dawn began to break, they let her go.

rsv@Judges:19:26 @ And as morning appeared, the woman came and fell down at the door of the man's house where her master was, till it was light.

rsv@Judges:19:27 @ And her master rose up in the morning, and when he opened the doors of the house and went out to go on his way, behold, there was his concubine lying at the door of the house, with her hands on the threshold.

rsv@Judges:19:28 @ He said to her, "Get up, let us be going." But there was no answer. Then he put her upon the ass; and the man rose up and went away to his home.

rsv@Judges:19:30 @ And all who saw it said, "Such a thing has never happened or been seen from the day that the people of Israel came up out of the land of Egypt until this day; consider it, take counsel, and speak."

rsv@Judges:20:1 @ Then all the people of Israel came out, from Dan to Beer-sheba, including the land of Gilead, and the congregation assembled as one man to the LORD at Mizpah.

rsv@Judges:20:2 @ And the chiefs of all the people, of all the tribes of Israel, presented themselves in the assembly of the people of God, four hundred thousand men on foot that drew the sword.

rsv@Judges:20:3 @ (Now the Benjaminites heard that the people of Israel had gone up to Mizpah.) And the people of Israel said, "Tell us, how was this wickedness brought to pass?"

rsv@Judges:20:4 @ And the Levite, the husband of the woman who was murdered, answered and said, "I came to Gib'e-ah that belongs to Benjamin, I and my concubine, to spend the night.

rsv@Judges:20:8 @ And all the people arose as one man, saying, "We will not any of us go to his tent, and none of us will return to his house.

rsv@Judges:20:11 @ So all the men of Israel gathered against the city, united as one man.

rsv@Judges:20:12 @ And the tribes of Israel sent men through all the tribe of Benjamin, saying, "What wickedness is this that has taken place among you?

rsv@Judges:20:13 @ Now therefore give up the men, the base fellows in Gib'e-ah, that we may put them to death, and put away evil from Israel." But the Benjaminites would not listen to the voice of their brethren, the people of Israel.

rsv@Judges:20:26 @ Then all the people of Israel, the whole army, went up and came to Bethel and wept; they sat there before the LORD, and fasted that day until evening, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.

rsv@Judges:20:27 @ And the people of Israel inquired of the LORD (for the ark of the covenant of God was there in those days,

rsv@Judges:20:28 @ and Phin'ehas the son of Elea'zar, son of Aaron, ministered before it in those days), saying, "Shall we yet again go out to battle against our brethren the Benjaminites, or shall we cease?" And the LORD said, "Go up; for tomorrow I will give them into your hand."

rsv@Judges:20:30 @ And the people of Israel went up against the Benjaminites on the third day, and set themselves in array against Gib'e-ah, as at other times.

rsv@Judges:20:31 @ And the Benjaminites went out against the people, and were drawn away from the city; and as at other times they began to smite and kill some of the people, in the highways, one of which goes up to Bethel and the other to Gib'e-ah, and in the open country, about thirty men of Israel.

rsv@Judges:20:32 @ And the Benjaminites said, "They are routed before us, as at the first." But the men of Israel said, "Let us flee, and draw them away from the city to the highways."

rsv@Judges:20:34 @ And there came against Gib'e-ah ten thousand picked men out of all Israel, and the battle was hard; but the Benjaminites did not know that disaster was close upon them.

rsv@Judges:20:37 @ And the men in ambush made haste and rushed upon Gib'e-ah; the men in ambush moved out and smote all the city with the edge of the sword.

rsv@Judges:20:38 @ Now the appointed signal between the men of Israel and the men in ambush was that when they made a great cloud of smoke rise up out of the city

rsv@Judges:20:39 @ the men of Israel should turn in battle. Now Benjamin had begun to smite and kill about thirty men of Israel; they said, "Surely they are smitten down before us, as in the first battle."

rsv@Judges:20:41 @ Then the men of Israel turned, and the men of Benjamin were dismayed, for they saw that disaster was close upon them.

rsv@Judges:20:43 @ Cutting down the Benjaminites, they pursued them and trod them down from Nohah as far as opposite Gib'e-ah on the east.

rsv@Judges:20:48 @ And the men of Israel turned back against the Benjaminites, and smote them with the edge of the sword, men and beasts and all that they found. And all the towns which they found they set on fire.

rsv@Judges:21:3 @ And they said, "O LORD, the God of Israel, why has this come to pass in Israel, that there should be today one tribe lacking in Israel?"

rsv@Judges:21:5 @ And the people of Israel said, "Which of all the tribes of Israel did not come up in the assembly to the LORD?" For they had taken a great oath concerning him who did not come up to the LORD to Mizpah, saying, "He shall be put to death."

rsv@Judges:21:6 @ And the people of Israel had compassion for Benjamin their brother, and said, "One tribe is cut off from Israel this day.

rsv@Judges:21:8 @ And they said, "What one is there of the tribes of Israel that did not come up to the LORD to Mizpah?" And behold, no one had come to the camp from Ja'besh-gil'ead, to the assembly.

rsv@Judges:21:9 @ For when the people were mustered, behold, not one of the inhabitants of Ja'besh-gil'ead was there.

rsv@Judges:21:11 @ This is what you shall do; every male and every woman that has lain with a male you shall utterly destroy."

rsv@Judges:21:15 @ And the people had compassion on Benjamin because the LORD had made a breach in the tribes of Israel.

rsv@Judges:21:19 @ So they said, "Behold, there is the yearly feast of the LORD at Shiloh, which is north of Bethel, on the east of the highway that goes up from Bethel to Shechem, and south of Lebo'nah."

rsv@Judges:21:25 @ In those days there was no king in Israel; every man did what was right in his own eyes.

rsv@Ruth:1:1 @ In the days when the judges ruled there was a famine in the land, and a certain man of Bethlehem in Judah went to sojourn in the country of Moab, he and his wife and his two sons.

rsv@Ruth:1:2 @ The name of the man was Elim'elech and the name of his wife Na'omi, and the names of his two sons were Mahlon and Chil'ion; they were Eph'rathites from Bethlehem in Judah. They went into the country of Moab and remained there.

rsv@Ruth:1:3 @ But Elim'elech, the husband of Na'omi, died, and she was left with her two sons.

rsv@Ruth:1:4 @ These took Moabite wives; the name of the one was Orpah and the name of the other Ruth. They lived there about ten years;

rsv@Ruth:1:5 @ and both Mahlon and Chil'ion died, so that the woman was bereft of her two sons and her husband.

rsv@Ruth:1:7 @ So she set out from the place where she was, with her two daughters-in-law, and they went on the way to return to the land of Judah.

rsv@Ruth:1:8 @ But Na'omi said to her two daughters-in-law, "Go, return each of you to her mother's house. May the LORD deal kindly with you, as you have dealt with the dead and with me.

rsv@Ruth:1:13 @ would you therefore wait till they were grown? Would you therefore refrain from marrying? No, my daughters, for it is exceedingly bitter to me for your sake that the hand of the LORD has gone forth against me."

rsv@Ruth:1:15 @ And she said, "See, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and to her gods; return after your sister-in-law."

rsv@Ruth:1:18 @ And when Na'omi saw that she was determined to go with her, she said no more.

rsv@Ruth:1:19 @ So the two of them went on until they came to Bethlehem. And when they came to Bethlehem, the whole town was stirred because of them; and the women said, "Is this Na'omi?"

rsv@Ruth:1:20 @ She said to them, "Do not call me Na'omi, call me Mara, for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me.

rsv@Ruth:1:21 @ I went away full, and the LORD has brought me back empty. Why call me Na'omi, when the LORD has afflicted me and the Almighty has brought calamity upon me?"

rsv@Ruth:2:1 @ Now Na'omi had a kinsman of her husband's, a man of wealth, of the family of Elim'elech, whose name was Bo'az.

rsv@Ruth:2:3 @ So she set forth and went and gleaned in the field after the reapers; and she happened to come to the part of the field belonging to Bo'az, who was of the family of Elim'elech.

rsv@Ruth:2:5 @ Then Bo'az said to his servant who was in charge of the reapers, "Whose maiden is this?"

rsv@Ruth:2:6 @ And the servant who was in charge of the reapers answered, "It is the Moabite maiden, who came back with Na'omi from the country of Moab.

rsv@Ruth:2:7 @ She said, `Pray, let me glean and gather among the sheaves after the reapers.' So she came, and she has continued from early morning until now, without resting even for a moment."

rsv@Ruth:2:11 @ But Bo'az answered her, "All that you have done for your mother-in-law since the death of your husband has been fully told me, and how you left your father and mother and your native land and came to a people that you did not know before.

rsv@Ruth:2:14 @ And at mealtime Bo'az said to her, "Come here, and eat some bread, and dip your morsel in the wine." So she sat beside the reapers, and he passed to her parched grain; and she ate until she was satisfied, and she had some left over.

rsv@Ruth:2:17 @ So she gleaned in the field until evening; then she beat out what she had gleaned, and it was about an ephah of barley.

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

rsv@Ruth:3:3 @ Wash therefore and anoint yourself, and put on your best clothes and go down to the threshing floor; but do not make yourself known to the man until he has finished eating and drinking.

rsv@Ruth:3:6 @ So she went down to the threshing floor and did just as her mother-in-law had told her.

rsv@Ruth:3:7 @ And when Bo'az had eaten and drunk, and his heart was merry, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of grain. Then she came softly, and uncovered his feet, and lay down.

rsv@Ruth:3:8 @ At midnight the man was startled, and turned over, and behold, a woman lay at his feet!

rsv@Ruth:3:10 @ And he said, "May you be blessed by the LORD, my daughter; you have made this last kindness greater than the first, in that you have not gone after young men, whether poor or rich.

rsv@Ruth:3:11 @ And now, my daughter, do not fear, I will do for you all that you ask, for all my fellow townsmen know that you are a woman of worth.

rsv@Ruth:3:13 @ Remain this night, and in the morning, if he will do the part of the next of kin for you, well; let him do it; but if he is not willing to do the part of the next of kin for you, then, as the LORD lives, I will do the part of the next of kin for you. Lie down until the morning."

rsv@Ruth:3:15 @ And he said, "Bring the mantle you are wearing and hold it out." So she held it, and he measured out six measures of barley, and laid it upon her; then she went into the city.

rsv@Ruth:3:17 @ saying, "These six measures of barley he gave to me, for he said, `You must not go back empty-handed to your mother-in-law.'"

rsv@Ruth:4:1 @ And Bo'az went up to the gate and sat down there; and behold, the next of kin, of whom Bo'az had spoken, came by. So Bo'az said, "Turn aside, friend; sit down here"; and he turned aside and sat down.

rsv@Ruth:4:3 @ Then he said to the next of kin, "Na'omi, who has come back from the country of Moab, is selling the parcel of land which belonged to our kinsman Elim'elech.

rsv@Ruth:4:7 @ Now this was the custom in former times in Israel concerning redeeming and exchanging: to confirm a transaction, the one drew off his sandal and gave it to the other, and this was the manner of attesting in Israel.

rsv@Ruth:4:14 @ Then the women said to Na'omi, "Blessed be the LORD, who has not left you this day without next of kin; and may his name be renowned in Israel!

rsv@Ruth:4:15 @ He shall be to you a restorer of life and a nourisher of your old age; for your daughter-in-law who loves you, who is more to you than seven sons, has borne him."

rsv@Ruth:4:17 @ And the women of the neighborhood gave him a name, saying, "A son has been born to Na'omi." They named him Obed; he was the father of Jesse, the father of David.

rsv@Ruth:4:18 @ Now these are the descendants of Perez: Perez was the father of Hezron,

rsv@1Samuel:1:1 @ There was a certain man of Ramatha'im-zo'phim of the hill country of E'phraim, whose name was Elka'nah the son of Jero'ham, son of Eli'hu, son of Tohu, son of Zuph, an E'phraimite.

rsv@1Samuel:1:2 @ He had two wives; the name of the one was Hannah, and the name of the other Penin'nah. And Penin'nah had children, but Hannah had no children.

rsv@1Samuel:1:3 @ Now this man used to go up year by year from his city to worship and to sacrifice to the LORD of hosts at Shiloh, where the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phin'ehas, were priests of the LORD.

rsv@1Samuel:1:7 @ So it went on year by year; as often as she went up to the house of the LORD, she used to provoke her. Therefore Hannah wept and would not eat.

rsv@1Samuel:1:9 @ After they had eaten and drunk in Shiloh, Hannah rose. Now Eli the priest was sitting on the seat beside the doorpost of the temple of the LORD.

rsv@1Samuel:1:10 @ She was deeply distressed and prayed to the LORD, and wept bitterly.

rsv@1Samuel:1:12 @ As she continued praying before the LORD, Eli observed her mouth.

rsv@1Samuel:1:13 @ Hannah was speaking in her heart; only her lips moved, and her voice was not heard; therefore Eli took her to be a drunken woman.

rsv@1Samuel:1:16 @ Do not regard your maidservant as a base woman, for all along I have been speaking out of my great anxiety and vexation."

rsv@1Samuel:1:18 @ And she said, "Let your maidservant find favor in your eyes." Then the woman went her way and ate, and her countenance was no longer sad.

rsv@1Samuel:1:20 @ and in due time Hannah conceived and bore a son, and she called his name Samuel, for she said, "I have asked him of the LORD."

rsv@1Samuel:1:22 @ But Hannah did not go up, for she said to her husband, "As soon as the child is weaned, I will bring him, that he may appear in the presence of the LORD, and abide there for ever."

rsv@1Samuel:1:24 @ And when she had weaned him, she took him up with her, along with a three-year-old bull, an ephah of flour, and a skin of wine; and she brought him to the house of the LORD at Shiloh; and the child was young.

rsv@1Samuel:1:27 @ For this child I prayed; and the LORD has granted me my petition which I made to him.

rsv@1Samuel:1:28 @ Therefore I have lent him to the LORD; as long as he lives, he is lent to the LORD." And they worshiped the LORD there.

rsv@1Samuel:2:5 @ Those who were full have hired themselves out for bread, but those who were hungry have ceased to hunger. The barren has borne seven, but she who has many children is forlorn.

rsv@1Samuel:2:8 @ He raises up the poor from the dust; he lifts the needy from the ash heap, to make them sit with princes and inherit a seat of honor. For the pillars of the earth are the LORD'S, and on them he has set the world.

rsv@1Samuel:2:13 @ The custom of the priests with the people was that when any man offered sacrifice, the priest's servant would come, while the meat was boiling, with a three-pronged fork in his hand,

rsv@1Samuel:2:15 @ Moreover, before the fat was burned, the priest's servant would come and say to the man who was sacrificing, "Give meat for the priest to roast; for he will not accept boiled meat from you, but raw."

rsv@1Samuel:2:16 @ And if the man said to him, "Let them burn the fat first, and then take as much as you wish," he would say, "No, you must give it now; and if not, I will take it by force."

rsv@1Samuel:2:17 @ Thus the sin of the young men was very great in the sight of the LORD; for the men treated the offering of the LORD with contempt.

rsv@1Samuel:2:18 @ Samuel was ministering before the LORD, a boy girded with a linen ephod.

rsv@1Samuel:2:22 @ Now Eli was very old, and he heard all that his sons were doing to all Israel, and how they lay with the women who served at the entrance to the tent of meeting.

rsv@1Samuel:2:25 @ If a man sins against a man, God will mediate for him; but if a man sins against the LORD, who can intercede for him?" But they would not listen to the voice of their father; for it was the will of the LORD to slay them.

rsv@1Samuel:6:12 @ And the cows went straight in the direction of Beth-she'mesh along one highway, lowing as they went; they turned neither to the right nor to the left, and the lords of the Philistines went after them as far as the border of Beth-she'mesh.

rsv@1Samuel:6:14 @ The cart came into the field of Joshua of Beth-she'mesh, and stopped there. A great stone was there; and they split up the wood of the cart and offered the cows as a burnt offering to the LORD.

rsv@1Samuel:6:15 @ And the Levites took down the ark of the LORD and the box that was beside it, in which were the golden figures, and set them upon the great stone; and the men of Beth-she'mesh offered burnt offerings and sacrificed sacrifices on that day to the LORD.

rsv@1Samuel:6:17 @ These are the golden tumors, which the Philistines returned as a guilt offering to the LORD: one for Ashdod, one for Gaza, one for Ash'kelon, one for Gath, one for Ekron;

rsv@1Samuel:7:2 @ From the day that the ark was lodged at Kir'iath-je'arim, a long time passed, some twenty years, and all the house of Israel lamented after the LORD.

rsv@1Samuel:7:3 @ Then Samuel said to all the house of Israel, "If you are returning to the LORD with all your heart, then put away the foreign gods and the Ash'taroth from among you, and direct your heart to the LORD, and serve him only, and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines."

rsv@1Samuel:7:4 @ So Israel put away the Ba'als and the Ash'taroth, and they served the LORD only.

rsv@1Samuel:7:6 @ So they gathered at Mizpah, and drew water and poured it out before the LORD, and fasted on that day, and said there, "We have sinned against the LORD." And Samuel judged the people of Israel at Mizpah.

rsv@1Samuel:7:8 @ And the people of Israel said to Samuel, "Do not cease to cry to the LORD our God for us, that he may save us from the hand of the Philistines."

rsv@1Samuel:7:9 @ So Samuel took a sucking lamb and offered it as a whole burnt offering to the LORD; and Samuel cried to the LORD for Israel, and the LORD answered him.

rsv@1Samuel:7:10 @ As Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near to attack Israel; but the LORD thundered with a mighty voice that day against the Philistines and threw them into confusion; and they were routed before Israel.

rsv@1Samuel:7:11 @ And the men of Israel went out of Mizpah and pursued the Philistines, and smote them, as far as below Beth-car.

rsv@1Samuel:7:12 @ Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Jesha'nah, and called its name Ebene'zer; for he said, "Hitherto the LORD has helped us."

rsv@1Samuel:7:13 @ So the Philistines were subdued and did not again enter the territory of Israel. And the hand of the LORD was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.

rsv@1Samuel:7:14 @ The cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron to Gath; and Israel rescued their territory from the hand of the Philistines. There was peace also between Israel and the Amorites.

rsv@1Samuel:7:17 @ Then he would come back to Ramah, for his home was there, and there also he administered justice to Israel. And he built there an altar to the LORD.

rsv@1Samuel:8:2 @ The name of his first-born son was Jo'el, and the name of his second, Abi'jah; they were judges in Beer-sheba.

rsv@1Samuel:8:3 @ Yet his sons did not walk in his ways, but turned aside after gain; they took bribes and perverted justice.

rsv@1Samuel:8:6 @ But the thing displeased Samuel when they said, "Give us a king to govern us." And Samuel prayed to the LORD.

rsv@1Samuel:8:10 @ So Samuel told all the words of the LORD to the people who were asking a king from him.

rsv@1Samuel:8:16 @ He will take your menservants and maidservants, and the best of your cattle and your asses, and put them to his work.

rsv@1Samuel:9:1 @ There was a man of Benjamin whose name was Kish, the son of Abi'el, son of Zeror, son of Beco'rath, son of Aphi'ah, a Benjaminite, a man of wealth;

rsv@1Samuel:9:2 @ and he had a son whose name was Saul, a handsome young man. There was not a man among the people of Israel more handsome than he; from his shoulders upward he was taller than any of the people.

rsv@1Samuel:9:3 @ Now the asses of Kish, Saul's father, were lost. So Kish said to Saul his son, "Take one of the servants with you, and arise, go and look for the asses."

rsv@1Samuel:9:4 @ And they passed through the hill country of E'phraim and passed through the land of Shal'ishah, but they did not find them. And they passed through the land of Sha'alim, but they were not there. Then they passed through the land of Benjamin, but did not find them.

rsv@1Samuel:9:5 @ When they came to the land of Zuph, Saul said to his servant who was with him, "Come, let us go back, lest my father cease to care about the asses and become anxious about us."

rsv@1Samuel:9:9 @ (Formerly in Israel, when a man went to inquire of God, he said, "Come, let us go to the seer"; for he who is now called a prophet was formerly called a seer.)

rsv@1Samuel:9:10 @ And Saul said to his servant, "Well said; come, let us go." So they went to the city where the man of God was.

rsv@1Samuel:9:11 @ As they went up the hill to the city, they met young maidens coming out to draw water, and said to them, "Is the seer here?"

rsv@1Samuel:9:12 @ They answered, "He is; behold, he is just ahead of you. Make haste; he has come just now to the city, because the people have a sacrifice today on the high place.

rsv@1Samuel:9:13 @ As soon as you enter the city, you will find him, before he goes up to the high place to eat; for the people will not eat till he comes, since he must bless the sacrifice; afterward those eat who are invited. Now go up, for you will meet him immediately."

rsv@1Samuel:9:14 @ So they went up to the city. As they were entering the city, they saw Samuel coming out toward them on his way up to the high place.

rsv@1Samuel:9:16 @ "Tomorrow about this time I will send to you a man from the land of Benjamin, and you shall anoint him to be prince over my people Israel. He shall save my people from the hand of the Philistines; for I have seen the affliction of my people, because their cry has come to me."

rsv@1Samuel:9:20 @ As for your asses that were lost three days ago, do not set your mind on them, for they have been found. And for whom is all that is desirable in Israel? Is it not for you and for all your father's house?"

rsv@1Samuel:9:21 @ Saul answered, "Am I not a Benjaminite, from the least of the tribes of Israel? And is not my family the humblest of all the families of the tribe of Benjamin? Why then have you spoken to me in this way?"

rsv@1Samuel:9:23 @ And Samuel said to the cook, "Bring the portion I gave you, of which I said to you, `Put it aside.'"

rsv@1Samuel:9:24 @ So the cook took up the leg and the upper portion and set them before Saul; and Samuel said, "See, what was kept is set before you. Eat; because it was kept for you until the hour appointed, that you might eat with the guests." So Saul ate with Samuel that day.

rsv@1Samuel:9:25 @ And when they came down from the high place into the city, a bed was spread for Saul upon the roof, and he lay down to sleep.

rsv@1Samuel:9:27 @ As they were going down to the outskirts of the city, Samuel said to Saul, "Tell the servant to pass on before us, and when he has passed on stop here yourself for a while, that I may make known to you the word of God."

rsv@1Samuel:10:1 @ Then Samuel took a vial of oil and poured it on his head, and kissed him and said, "Has not the LORD anointed you to be prince over his people Israel?

And this shall be the sign to you that the LORD has anointed you to be prince over his heritage.

rsv@1Samuel:10:2 @ When you depart from me today you will meet two men by Rachel's tomb in the territory of Benjamin at Zelzah, and they will say to you, `The asses which you went to seek are found, and now your father has ceased to care about the asses and is anxious about you, saying, "What shall I do about my son?"'

rsv@1Samuel:10:5 @ After that you shall come to Gib'e-ath-elo'him, where there is a garrison of the Philistines; and there, as you come to the city, you will meet a band of prophets coming down from the high place with harp, tambourine, flute, and lyre before them, prophesying.

rsv@1Samuel:10:9 @ When he turned his back to leave Samuel, God gave him another heart; and all these signs came to pass that day.

rsv@1Samuel:10:11 @ And when all who knew him before saw how he prophesied with the prophets, the people said to one another, "What has come over the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?"

rsv@1Samuel:10:14 @ Saul's uncle said to him and to his servant, "Where did you go?" And he said, "To seek the asses; and when we saw they were not to be found, we went to Samuel."

rsv@1Samuel:10:16 @ And Saul said to his uncle, "He told us plainly that the asses had been found." But about the matter of the kingdom, of which Samuel had spoken, he did not tell him anything.

rsv@1Samuel:10:20 @ Then Samuel brought all the tribes of Israel near, and the tribe of Benjamin was taken by lot.

rsv@1Samuel:10:21 @ He brought the tribe of Benjamin near by its families, and the family of the Matrites was taken by lot; finally he brought the family of the Matrites near man by man, and Saul the son of Kish was taken by lot. But when they sought him, he could not be found.

rsv@1Samuel:10:22 @ So they inquired again of the LORD, "Did the man come hither?" and the LORD said, "Behold, he has hidden himself among the baggage."

rsv@1Samuel:10:23 @ Then they ran and fetched him from there; and when he stood among the people, he was taller than any of the people from his shoulders upward.

rsv@1Samuel:11:5 @ Now Saul was coming from the field behind the oxen; and Saul said, "What ails the people, that they are weeping?" So they told him the tidings of the men of Jabesh.

rsv@1Samuel:11:6 @ And the spirit of God came mightily upon Saul when he heard these words, and his anger was greatly kindled.

rsv@1Samuel:11:7 @ He took a yoke of oxen, and cut them in pieces and sent them throughout all the territory of Israel by the hand of messengers, saying, "Whoever does not come out after Saul and Samuel, so shall it be done to his oxen!"

rsv@1Samuel:12:17 @ Is it not wheat harvest today? I will call upon the LORD, that he may send thunder and rain; and you shall know and see that your wickedness is great, which you have done in the sight of the LORD, in asking for yourselves a king."

rsv@1Samuel:12:19 @ And all the people said to Samuel, "Pray for your servants to the LORD your God, that we may not die; for we have added to all our sins this evil, to ask for ourselves a king."

rsv@1Samuel:12:20 @ And Samuel said to the people, "Fear not; you have done all this evil, yet do not turn aside from following the LORD, but serve the LORD with all your heart;

rsv@1Samuel:13:2 @ Saul chose three thousand men of Israel; two thousand were with Saul in Michmash and the hill country of Bethel, and a thousand were with Jonathan in Gib'e-ah of Benjamin; the rest of the people he sent home, every man to his tent.

rsv@1Samuel:13:3 @ Jonathan defeated the garrison of the Philistines which was at Geba; and the Philistines heard of it. And Saul blew the trumpet throughout all the land, saying, "Let the Hebrews hear."

rsv@1Samuel:13:5 @ And the Philistines mustered to fight with Israel, thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and troops like the sand on the seashore in multitude; they came up and encamped in Michmash, to the east of Beth-a'ven.

rsv@1Samuel:13:16 @ And Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people who were present with them, stayed in Geba of Benjamin; but the Philistines encamped in Michmash.

rsv@1Samuel:13:19 @ Now there was no smith to be found throughout all the land of Israel; for the Philistines said, "Lest the Hebrews make themselves swords or spears";

rsv@1Samuel:13:21 @ and the charge was a pim for the plowshares and for the mattocks, and a third of a shekel for sharpening the axes and for setting the goads.

rsv@1Samuel:13:22 @ So on the day of the battle there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people with Saul and Jonathan; but Saul and Jonathan his son had them.

rsv@1Samuel:13:23 @ And the garrison of the Philistines went out to the pass of Michmash.

rsv@1Samuel:14:2 @ Saul was staying in the outskirts of Gib'e-ah under the pomegranate tree which is at Migron; the people who were with him were about six hundred men,

rsv@1Samuel:14:16 @ And the watchmen of Saul in Gib'e-ah of Benjamin looked; and behold, the multitude was surging hither and thither.

rsv@1Samuel:14:17 @ Then Saul said to the people who were with him, "Number and see who has gone from us." And when they had numbered, behold, Jonathan and his armor-bearer were not there.

rsv@1Samuel:14:19 @ And while Saul was talking to the priest, the tumult in the camp of the Philistines increased more and more; and Saul said to the priest, "Withdraw your hand."

rsv@1Samuel:14:24 @ And the men of Israel were distressed that day; for Saul laid an oath on the people, saying, "Cursed be the man who eats food until it is evening and I am avenged on my enemies." So none of the people tasted food.

rsv@1Samuel:14:25 @ And all the people came into the forest; and there was honey on the ground.

rsv@1Samuel:14:26 @ And when the people entered the forest, behold, the honey was dropping, but no man put his hand to his mouth; for the people feared the oath.

rsv@1Samuel:14:27 @ But Jonathan had not heard his father charge the people with the oath; so he put forth the tip of the staff that was in his hand, and dipped it in the honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his eyes became bright.

rsv@1Samuel:17:47 @ and that all this assembly may know that the LORD saves not with sword and spear; for the battle is the LORD'S and he will give you into our hand."

rsv@1Samuel:17:50 @ So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and struck the Philistine, and killed him; there was no sword in the hand of David.

rsv@1Samuel:17:51 @ Then David ran and stood over the Philistine, and took his sword and drew it out of its sheath, and killed him, and cut off his head with it. When the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, they fled.

rsv@1Samuel:17:52 @ And the men of Israel and Judah rose with a shout and pursued the Philistines as far as Gath and the gates of Ekron, so that the wounded Philistines fell on the way from Sha-ara'im as far as Gath and Ekron.

rsv@1Samuel:17:53 @ And the Israelites came back from chasing the Philistines, and they plundered their camp.

rsv@1Samuel:17:55 @ When Saul saw David go forth against the Philistine, he said to Abner, the commander of the army, "Abner, whose son is this youth?" And Abner said, "As your soul lives, O king, I cannot tell."

rsv@1Samuel:17:57 @ And as David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, Abner took him, and brought him before Saul with the head of the Philistine in his hand.

rsv@1Samuel:18:1 @ When he had finished speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan was knit to the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.

rsv@1Samuel:18:3 @ Then Jonathan made a covenant with David, because he loved him as his own soul.

rsv@1Samuel:18:4 @ And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was upon him, and gave it to David, and his armor, and even his sword and his bow and his girdle.

rsv@1Samuel:18:5 @ And David went out and was successful wherever Saul sent him; so that Saul set him over the men of war. And this was good in the sight of all the people and also in the sight of Saul's servants.

rsv@1Samuel:18:6 @ As they were coming home, when David returned from slaying the Philistine, the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet King Saul, with timbrels, with songs of joy, and with instruments of music.

rsv@1Samuel:18:7 @ And the women sang to one another as they made merry, "Saul has slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands."

rsv@1Samuel:18:8 @ And Saul was very angry, and this saying displeased him; he said, "They have ascribed to David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed thousands; and what more can he have but the kingdom?"

rsv@1Samuel:18:10 @ And on the morrow an evil spirit from God rushed upon Saul, and he raved within his house, while David was playing the lyre, as he did day by day. Saul had his spear in his hand;

rsv@1Samuel:18:11 @ and Saul cast the spear, for he thought, "I will pin David to the wall." But David evaded him twice.

rsv@1Samuel:18:12 @ Saul was afraid of David, because the LORD was with him but had departed from Saul.

rsv@1Samuel:18:14 @ And David had success in all his undertakings; for the LORD was with him.

rsv@1Samuel:18:19 @ But at the time when Merab, Saul's daughter, should have been given to David, she was given to A'driel the Meho'lathite for a wife.

rsv@1Samuel:18:20 @ Now Saul's daughter Michal loved David; and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him.

rsv@1Samuel:18:22 @ And Saul commanded his servants, "Speak to David in private and say, `Behold, the king has delight in you, and all his servants love you; now then become the king's son-in-law.'"

rsv@1Samuel:18:26 @ And when his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king's son-in-law. Before the time had expired,

rsv@1Samuel:18:28 @ But when Saul saw and knew that the LORD was with David, and that all Israel loved him,

rsv@1Samuel:18:29 @ Saul was still more afraid of David. So Saul was David's enemy continually.

rsv@1Samuel:18:30 @ Then the princes of the Philistines came out to battle, and as often as they came out David had more success than all the servants of Saul; so that his name was highly esteemed.

rsv@1Samuel:19:4 @ And Jonathan spoke well of David to Saul his father, and said to him, "Let not the king sin against his servant David; because he has not sinned against you, and because his deeds have been of good service to you;

rsv@1Samuel:19:6 @ And Saul hearkened to the voice of Jonathan; Saul swore, "As the LORD lives, he shall not be put to death."

rsv@1Samuel:19:7 @ And Jonathan called David, and Jonathan showed him all these things. And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence as before.

rsv@1Samuel:19:8 @ And there was war again; and David went out and fought with the Philistines, and made a great slaughter among them, so that they fled before him.

rsv@1Samuel:19:9 @ Then an evil spirit from the LORD came upon Saul, as he sat in his house with his spear in his hand; and David was playing the lyre.

rsv@1Samuel:19:16 @ And when the messengers came in, behold, the image was in the bed, with the pillow of goats' hair at its head.

rsv@1Samuel:19:17 @ Saul said to Michal, "Why have you deceived me thus, and let my enemy go, so that he has escaped?" And Michal answered Saul, "He said to me, `Let me go; why should I kill you?'"

rsv@1Samuel:19:19 @ And it was told Saul, "Behold, David is at Nai'oth in Ramah."

rsv@1Samuel:19:20 @ Then Saul sent messengers to take David; and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as head over them, the Spirit of God came upon the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied.

rsv@1Samuel:19:21 @ When it was told Saul, he sent other messengers, and they also prophesied. And Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they also prophesied.

rsv@1Samuel:19:22 @ Then he himself went to Ramah, and came to the great well that is in Secu; and he asked, "Where are Samuel and David?" And one said, "Behold, they are at Nai'oth in Ramah."

rsv@1Samuel:19:23 @ And he went from there to Nai'oth in Ramah; and the Spirit of God came upon him also, and as he went he prophesied, until he came to Nai'oth in Ramah.

rsv@1Samuel:20:3 @ But David replied, "Your father knows well that I have found favor in your eyes; and he thinks, `Let not Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved.' But truly, as the LORD lives and as your soul lives, there is but a step between me and death."

rsv@1Samuel:20:6 @ If your father misses me at all, then say, `David earnestly asked leave of me to run to Bethlehem his city; for there is a yearly sacrifice there for all the family.'

rsv@1Samuel:20:9 @ And Jonathan said, "Far be it from you! If I knew that it was determined by my father that evil should come upon you, would I not tell you?"

rsv@1Samuel:20:13 @ But should it please my father to do you harm, the LORD do so to Jonathan, and more also, if I do not disclose it to you, and send you away, that you may go in safety. May the LORD be with you, as he has been with my father.

rsv@1Samuel:20:17 @ And Jonathan made David swear again by his love for him; for he loved him as he loved his own soul.

rsv@1Samuel:20:19 @ And on the third day you will be greatly missed; then go to the place where you hid yourself when the matter was in hand, and remain beside yonder stone heap.

rsv@1Samuel:20:20 @ And I will shoot three arrows to the side of it, as though I shot at a mark.

rsv@1Samuel:20:21 @ And behold, I will send the lad, saying, `Go, find the arrows.' If I say to the lad, `Look, the arrows are on this side of you, take them,' then you are to come, for, as the LORD lives, it is safe for you and there is no danger.

rsv@1Samuel:20:22 @ But if I say to the youth, `Look, the arrows are beyond you,' then go; for the LORD has sent you away.

rsv@1Samuel:20:23 @ And as for the matter of which you and I have spoken, behold, the LORD is between you and me for ever."

rsv@1Samuel:20:25 @ The king sat upon his seat, as at other times, upon the seat by the wall; Jonathan sat opposite, and Abner sat by Saul's side, but David's place was empty.

rsv@1Samuel:20:26 @ Yet Saul did not say anything that day; for he thought, "Something has befallen him; he is not clean, surely he is not clean."

rsv@1Samuel:20:27 @ But on the second day, the morrow after the new moon, David's place was empty. And Saul said to Jonathan his son, "Why has not the son of Jesse come to the meal, either yesterday or today?"

rsv@1Samuel:20:28 @ Jonathan answered Saul, "David earnestly asked leave of me to go to Bethlehem;

rsv@1Samuel:20:29 @ he said, `Let me go; for our family holds a sacrifice in the city, and my brother has commanded me to be there. So now, if I have found favor in your eyes, let me get away, and see my brothers.' For this reason he has not come to the king's table."

rsv@1Samuel:20:30 @ Then Saul's anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he said to him, "You son of a perverse, rebellious woman, do I not know that you have chosen the son of Jesse to your own shame, and to the shame of your mother's nakedness?

rsv@1Samuel:20:31 @ For as long as the son of Jesse lives upon the earth, neither you nor your kingdom shall be established. Therefore send and fetch him to me, for he shall surely die."

rsv@1Samuel:20:32 @ Then Jonathan answered Saul his father, "Why should he be put to death? What has he done?"

rsv@1Samuel:20:33 @ But Saul cast his spear at him to smite him; so Jonathan knew that his father was determined to put David to death.

rsv@1Samuel:20:34 @ And Jonathan rose from the table in fierce anger and ate no food the second day of the month, for he was grieved for David, because his father had disgraced him.

rsv@1Samuel:20:36 @ And he said to his lad, "Run and find the arrows which I shoot." As the lad ran, he shot an arrow beyond him.

rsv@1Samuel:20:38 @ And Jonathan called after the lad, "Hurry, make haste, stay not." So Jonathan's lad gathered up the arrows, and came to his master.

rsv@1Samuel:20:41 @ And as soon as the lad had gone, David rose from beside the stone heap and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed three times; and they kissed one another, and wept with one another, until David recovered himself.

rsv@1Samuel:20:42 @ Then Jonathan said to David, "Go in peace, forasmuch as we have sworn both of us in the name of the LORD, saying, `The LORD shall be between me and you, and between my descendants and your descendants, for ever.'" And he rose and departed; and Jonathan went into the city.

rsv@1Samuel:21:2 @ And David said to Ahim'elech the priest, "The king has charged me with a matter, and said to me, `Let no one know anything of the matter about which I send you, and with which I have charged you.' I have made an appointment with the young men for such and such a place.

rsv@1Samuel:21:5 @ And David answered the priest, "Of a truth women have been kept from us as always when I go on an expedition; the vessels of the young men are holy, even when it is a common journey; how much more today will their vessels be holy?"

rsv@1Samuel:21:6 @ So the priest gave him the holy bread; for there was no bread there but the bread of the Presence, which is removed from before the LORD, to be replaced by hot bread on the day it is taken away.

rsv@1Samuel:21:7 @ Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, detained before the LORD; his name was Do'eg the E'domite, the chief of Saul's herdsmen.

rsv@1Samuel:21:8 @ And David said to Ahim'elech, "And have you not here a spear or a sword at hand? For I have brought neither my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king's business required haste."

rsv@1Samuel:21:11 @ And the servants of A'chish said to him, "Is not this David the king of the land? Did they not sing to one another of him in dances, `Saul has slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands'?"

rsv@1Samuel:21:12 @ And David took these words to heart, and was much afraid of A'chish the king of Gath.

rsv@1Samuel:22:2 @ And every one who was in distress, and every one who was in debt, and every one who was discontented, gathered to him; and he became captain over them. And there were with him about four hundred men.

rsv@1Samuel:22:4 @ And he left them with the king of Moab, and they stayed with him all the time that David was in the stronghold.

rsv@1Samuel:22:6 @ Now Saul heard that David was discovered, and the men who were with him. Saul was sitting at Gib'e-ah, under the tamarisk tree on the height, with his spear in his hand, and all his servants were standing about him.

rsv@1Samuel:22:8 @ that all of you have conspired against me? No one discloses to me when my son makes a league with the son of Jesse, none of you is sorry for me or discloses to me that my son has stirred up my servant against me, to lie in wait, as at this day."

rsv@1Samuel:22:13 @ And Saul said to him, "Why have you conspired against me, you and the son of Jesse, in that you have given him bread and a sword, and have inquired of God for him, so that he has risen against me, to lie in wait, as at this day?"

rsv@1Samuel:22:14 @ Then Ahim'elech answered the king, "And who among all your servants is so faithful as David, who is the king's son-in-law, and captain over your bodyguard, and honored in your house?

rsv@1Samuel:22:15 @ Is today the first time that I have inquired of God for him? No! Let not the king impute anything to his servant or to all the house of my father; for your servant has known nothing of all this, much or little."

rsv@1Samuel:22:19 @ And Nob, the city of the priests, he put to the sword; both men and women, children and sucklings, oxen, asses and sheep, he put to the sword.

rsv@1Samuel:22:22 @ And David said to Abi'athar, "I knew on that day, when Do'eg the E'domite was there, that he would surely tell Saul. I have occasioned the death of all the persons of your father's house.

rsv@1Samuel:23:7 @ Now it was told Saul that David had come to Kei'lah. And Saul said, "God has given him into my hand; for he has shut himself in by entering a town that has gates and bars."

rsv@1Samuel:23:9 @ David knew that Saul was plotting evil against him; and he said to Abi'athar the priest, "Bring the ephod here."

rsv@1Samuel:23:10 @ Then said David, "O LORD, the God of Israel, thy servant has surely heard that Saul seeks to come to Kei'lah, to destroy the city on my account.

rsv@1Samuel:23:11 @ Will the men of Kei'lah surrender me into his hand? Will Saul come down, as thy servant has heard? O LORD, the God of Israel, I beseech thee, tell thy servant." And the LORD said, "He will come down."

rsv@1Samuel:23:13 @ Then David and his men, who were about six hundred, arose and departed from Kei'lah, and they went wherever they could go. When Saul was told that David had escaped from Kei'lah, he gave up the expedition.

rsv@1Samuel:23:15 @ And David was afraid because Saul had come out to seek his life. David was in the Wilderness of Ziph at Horesh.

rsv@1Samuel:23:21 @ And Saul said, "May you be blessed by the LORD; for you have had compassion on me.

rsv@1Samuel:23:22 @ Go, make yet more sure; know and see the place where his haunt is, and who has seen him there; for it is told me that he is very cunning.

rsv@1Samuel:23:25 @ And Saul and his men went to seek him. And David was told; therefore he went down to the rock which is in the wilderness of Ma'on. And when Saul heard that, he pursued after David in the wilderness of Ma'on.

rsv@1Samuel:23:26 @ Saul went on one side of the mountain, and David and his men on the other side of the mountain; and David was making haste to get away from Saul, as Saul and his men were closing in upon David and his men to capture them,

rsv@1Samuel:23:27 @ when a messenger came to Saul, saying, "Make haste and come; for the Philistines have made a raid upon the land."

rsv@1Samuel:23:28 @ So Saul returned from pursuing after David, and went against the Philistines; therefore that place was called the Rock of Escape.

rsv@1Samuel:24:1 @ When Saul returned from following the Philistines, he was told, "Behold, David is in the wilderness of En-ge'di."

rsv@1Samuel:24:3 @ And he came to the sheepfolds by the way, where there was a cave; and Saul went in to relieve himself. Now David and his men were sitting in the innermost parts of the cave.

rsv@1Samuel:24:4 @ And the men of David said to him, "Here is the day of which the LORD said to you, `Behold, I will give your enemy into your hand, and you shall do to him as it shall seem good to you.'" Then David arose and stealthily cut off the skirt of Saul's robe.

rsv@1Samuel:24:11 @ See, my father, see the skirt of your robe in my hand; for by the fact that I cut off the skirt of your robe, and did not kill you, you may know and see that there is no wrong or treason in my hands. I have not sinned against you, though you hunt my life to take it.

rsv@1Samuel:24:13 @ As the proverb of the ancients says, `Out of the wicked comes forth wickedness'; but my hand shall not be against you.

rsv@1Samuel:24:14 @ After whom has the king of Israel come out? After whom do you pursue? After a dead dog! After a flea!

rsv@1Samuel:24:17 @ He said to David, "You are more righteous than I; for you have repaid me good, whereas I have repaid you evil.

rsv@1Samuel:25:1 @ Now Samuel died; and all Israel assembled and mourned for him, and they buried him in his house at Ramah. Then David rose and went down to the wilderness of Paran.

rsv@1Samuel:25:2 @ And there was a man in Ma'on, whose business was in Carmel. The man was very rich; he had three thousand sheep and a thousand goats. He was shearing his sheep in Carmel.

rsv@1Samuel:25:3 @ Now the name of the man was Nabal, and the name of his wife Ab'igail. The woman was of good understanding and beautiful, but the man was churlish and ill-behaved; he was a Calebite.

rsv@1Samuel:25:4 @ David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep.

rsv@1Samuel:25:8 @ Ask your young men, and they will tell you. Therefore let my young men find favor in your eyes; for we come on a feast day. Pray, give whatever you have at hand to your servants and to your son David.'"

rsv@1Samuel:25:10 @ And Nabal answered David's servants, "Who is David? Who is the son of Jesse? There are many servants nowadays who are breaking away from their masters.

rsv@1Samuel:25:14 @ But one of the young men told Ab'igail, Nabal's wife, "Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to salute our master; and he railed at them.

rsv@1Samuel:25:15 @ Yet the men were very good to us, and we suffered no harm, and we did not miss anything when we were in the fields, as long as we went with them;

rsv@1Samuel:25:17 @ Now therefore know this and consider what you should do; for evil is determined against our master and against all his house, and he is so ill-natured that one cannot speak to him."

rsv@1Samuel:25:18 @ Then Ab'igail made haste, and took two hundred loaves, and two skins of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five measures of parched grain, and a hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on asses.

rsv@1Samuel:25:20 @ And as she rode on the ass, and came down under cover of the mountain, behold, David and his men came down toward her; and she met them.

rsv@1Samuel:25:21 @ Now David had said, "Surely in vain have I guarded all that this fellow has in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that belonged to him; and he has returned me evil for good.

rsv@1Samuel:25:22 @ God do so to David and more also, if by morning I leave so much as one male of all who belong to him."

rsv@1Samuel:25:23 @ When Ab'igail saw David, she made haste, and alighted from the ass, and fell before David on her face, and bowed to the ground.

rsv@1Samuel:25:25 @ Let not my lord regard this ill-natured fellow, Nabal; for as his name is, so is he; Nabal is his name, and folly is with him; but I your handmaid did not see the young men of my lord, whom you sent.

rsv@1Samuel:25:26 @ Now then, my lord, as the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, seeing the LORD has restrained you from bloodguilt, and from taking vengeance with your own hand, now then let your enemies and those who seek to do evil to my lord be as Nabal.

rsv@1Samuel:25:27 @ And now let this present which your servant has brought to my lord be given to the young men who follow my lord.

rsv@1Samuel:25:28 @ Pray forgive the trespass of your handmaid; for the LORD will certainly make my lord a sure house, because my lord is fighting the battles of the LORD; and evil shall not be found in you so long as you live.

rsv@1Samuel:25:29 @ If men rise up to pursue you and to seek your life, the life of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of the living in the care of the LORD your God; and the lives of your enemies he shall sling out as from the hollow of a sling.

rsv@1Samuel:25:31 @ my lord shall have no cause of grief, or pangs of conscience, for having shed blood without cause or for my lord taking vengeance himself. And when the LORD has dealt well with my lord, then remember your handmaid."

rsv@1Samuel:25:34 @ For as surely as the LORD the God of Israel lives, who has restrained me from hurting you, unless you had made haste and come to meet me, truly by morning there had not been left to Nabal so much as one male."

rsv@1Samuel:25:36 @ And Ab'igail came to Nabal; and, lo, he was holding a feast in his house, like the feast of a king. And Nabal's heart was merry within him, for he was very drunk; so she told him nothing at all until the morning light.

rsv@1Samuel:25:37 @ And in the morning, when the wine had gone out of Nabal, his wife told him these things, and his heart died within him, and he became as a stone.

rsv@1Samuel:25:39 @ When David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, "Blessed be the LORD who has avenged the insult I received at the hand of Nabal, and has kept back his servant from evil; the LORD has returned the evil-doing of Nabal upon his own head." Then David sent and wooed Ab'igail, to make her his wife.

rsv@1Samuel:25:40 @ And when the servants of David came to Ab'igail at Carmel, they said to her, "David has sent us to you to take you to him as his wife."

rsv@1Samuel:25:41 @ And she rose and bowed with her face to the ground, and said, "Behold, your handmaid is a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord."

rsv@1Samuel:25:42 @ And Ab'igail made haste and rose and mounted on an ass, and her five maidens attended her; she went after the messengers of David, and became his wife.

rsv@1Samuel:25:44 @ Saul had given Michal his daughter, David's wife, to Palti the son of La'ish, who was of Gallim.

rsv@1Samuel:26:1 @ Then the Ziphites came to Saul at Gib'e-ah, saying, "Is not David hiding himself on the hill of Hachi'lah, which is on the east of Jeshi'mon?"

rsv@1Samuel:26:3 @ And Saul encamped on the hill of Hachi'lah, which is beside the road on the east of Jeshi'mon. But David remained in the wilderness; and when he saw that Saul came after him into the wilderness,

rsv@1Samuel:26:5 @ Then David rose and came to the place where Saul had encamped; and David saw the place where Saul lay, with Abner the son of Ner, the commander of his army; Saul was lying within the encampment, while the army was encamped around him.

rsv@1Samuel:26:8 @ Then said Abi'shai to David, "God has given your enemy into your hand this day; now therefore let me pin him to the earth with one stroke of the spear, and I will not strike him twice."

rsv@1Samuel:26:10 @ And David said, "As the LORD lives, the LORD will smite him; or his day shall come to die; or he shall go down into battle and perish.

rsv@1Samuel:26:12 @ So David took the spear and the jar of water from Saul's head; and they went away. No man saw it, or knew it, nor did any awake; for they were all asleep, because a deep sleep from the LORD had fallen upon them.

rsv@1Samuel:26:19 @ Now therefore let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If it is the LORD who has stirred you up against me, may he accept an offering; but if it is men, may they be cursed before the LORD, for they have driven me out this day that I should have no share in the heritage of the LORD, saying, `Go, serve other gods.'

rsv@1Samuel:26:20 @ Now therefore, let not my blood fall to the earth away from the presence of the LORD; for the king of Israel has come out to seek my life, like one who hunts a partridge in the mountains."

rsv@1Samuel:27:8 @ Now David and his men went up, and made raids upon the Gesh'urites, the Gir'zites, and the Amal'ekites; for these were the inhabitants of the land from of old, as far as Shur, to the land of Egypt.

rsv@2Samuel:13:3 @ But Amnon had a friend, whose name was Jon'adab, the son of Shim'e-ah, David's brother; and Jon'adab was a very crafty man.

rsv@2Samuel:13:8 @ So Tamar went to her brother Amnon's house, where he was lying down. And she took dough, and kneaded it, and made cakes in his sight, and baked the cakes.

rsv@2Samuel:13:13 @ As for me, where could I carry my shame? And as for you, you would be as one of the wanton fools in Israel. Now therefore, I pray you, speak to the king; for he will not withhold me from you."

rsv@2Samuel:13:15 @ Then Amnon hated her with very great hatred; so that the hatred with which he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her. And Amnon said to her, "Arise, be gone."

rsv@2Samuel:13:18 @ Now she was wearing a long robe with sleeves; for thus were the virgin daughters of the king clad of old. So his servant put her out, and bolted the door after her.

rsv@2Samuel:13:19 @ And Tamar put ashes on her head, and rent the long robe which she wore; and she laid her hand on her head, and went away, crying aloud as she went.

rsv@2Samuel:13:20 @ And her brother Ab'salom said to her, "Has Amnon your brother been with you? Now hold your peace, my sister; he is your brother; do not take this to heart." So Tamar dwelt, a desolate woman, in her brother Ab'salom's house.

rsv@2Samuel:13:21 @ When King David heard of all these things, he was very angry.

rsv@2Samuel:13:24 @ And Ab'salom came to the king, and said, "Behold, your servant has sheepshearers; pray let the king and his servants go with your servant."

rsv@2Samuel:13:29 @ So the servants of Ab'salom did to Amnon as Ab'salom had commanded. Then all the king's sons arose, and each mounted his mule and fled.

rsv@2Samuel:13:30 @ While they were on the way, tidings came to David, "Ab'salom has slain all the king's sons, and not one of them is left."

rsv@2Samuel:13:32 @ But Jon'adab the son of Shim'e-ah, David's brother, said, "Let not my lord suppose that they have killed all the young men the king's sons, for Amnon alone is dead, for by the command of Ab'salom this has been determined from the day he forced his sister Tamar.

rsv@2Samuel:13:33 @ Now therefore let not my lord the king so take it to heart as to suppose that all the king's sons are dead; for Amnon alone is dead."

rsv@2Samuel:13:35 @ And Jon'adab said to the king, "Behold, the king's sons have come; as your servant said, so it has come about."

rsv@2Samuel:13:36 @ And as soon as he had finished speaking, behold, the king's sons came, and lifted up their voice and wept; and the king also and all his servants wept very bitterly.

rsv@2Samuel:13:38 @ So Ab'salom fled, and went to Geshur, and was there three years.

rsv@2Samuel:13:39 @ And the spirit of the king longed to go forth to Ab'salom; for he was comforted about Amnon, seeing he was dead.

rsv@2Samuel:14:2 @ And Jo'ab sent to Teko'a, and fetched from there a wise woman, and said to her, "Pretend to be a mourner, and put on mourning garments; do not anoint yourself with oil, but behave like a woman who has been mourning many days for the dead;

rsv@2Samuel:14:5 @ And the king said to her, "What is your trouble?" She answered, "Alas, I am a widow; my husband is dead.

rsv@2Samuel:14:6 @ And your handmaid had two sons, and they quarreled with one another in the field; there was no one to part them, and one struck the other and killed him.

rsv@2Samuel:14:7 @ And now the whole family has risen against your handmaid, and they say, `Give up the man who struck his brother, that we may kill him for the life of his brother whom he slew'; and so they would destroy the heir also. Thus they would quench my coal which is left, and leave to my husband neither name nor remnant upon the face of the earth."

rsv@2Samuel:14:11 @ Then she said, "Pray let the king invoke the LORD your God, that the avenger of blood slay no more, and my son be not destroyed." He said, "As the LORD lives, not one hair of your son shall fall to the ground."

rsv@2Samuel:14:13 @ And the woman said, "Why then have you planned such a thing against the people of God? For in giving this decision the king convicts himself, inasmuch as the king does not bring his banished one home again.

rsv@2Samuel:14:14 @ We must all die, we are like water spilt on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again; but God will not take away the life of him who devises means not to keep his banished one an outcast.

rsv@2Samuel:14:18 @ Then the king answered the woman, "Do not hide from me anything I ask you." And the woman said, "Let my lord the king speak."

rsv@2Samuel:14:19 @ The king said, "Is the hand of Jo'ab with you in all this?" The woman answered and said, "As surely as you live, my lord the king, one cannot turn to the right hand or to the left from anything that my lord the king has said. It was your servant Jo'ab who bade me; it was he who put all these words in the mouth of your handmaid.

rsv@2Samuel:14:20 @ In order to change the course of affairs your servant Jo'ab did this. But my lord has wisdom like the wisdom of the angel of God to know all things that are on the earth."

rsv@2Samuel:14:22 @ And Jo'ab fell on his face to the ground, and did obeisance, and blessed the king; and Jo'ab said, "Today your servant knows that I have found favor in your sight, my lord the king, in that the king has granted the request of his servant."

rsv@2Samuel:14:25 @ Now in all Israel there was no one so much to be praised for his beauty as Ab'salom; from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head there was no blemish in him.

rsv@2Samuel:14:26 @ And when he cut the hair of his head (for at the end of every year he used to cut it; when it was heavy on him, he cut it), he weighed the hair of his head, two hundred shekels by the king's weight.

rsv@2Samuel:14:27 @ There were born to Ab'salom three sons, and one daughter whose name was Tamar; she was a beautiful woman.

rsv@2Samuel:14:30 @ Then he said to his servants, "See, Jo'ab's field is next to mine, and he has barley there; go and set it on fire." So Ab'salom's servants set the field on fire.

rsv@2Samuel:14:32 @ Ab'salom answered Jo'ab, "Behold, I sent word to you, `Come here, that I may send you to the king, to ask, "Why have I come from Geshur? It would be better for me to be there still." Now therefore let me go into the presence of the king; and if there is guilt in me, let him kill me.'"

rsv@2Samuel:15:10 @ But Ab'salom sent secret messengers throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, "As soon as you hear the sound of the trumpet, then say, `Ab'salom is king at Hebron!'"

rsv@2Samuel:15:12 @ And while Ab'salom was offering the sacrifices, he sent for Ahith'ophel the Gi'lonite, David's counselor, from his city Giloh. And the conspiracy grew strong, and the people with Ab'salom kept increasing.

rsv@2Samuel:15:14 @ Then David said to all his servants who were with him at Jerusalem, "Arise, and let us flee; or else there will be no escape for us from Ab'salom; go in haste, lest he overtake us quickly, and bring down evil upon us, and smite the city with the edge of the sword."

rsv@2Samuel:15:17 @ And the king went forth, and all the people after him; and they halted at the last house.

rsv@2Samuel:15:18 @ And all his servants passed by him; and all the Cher'ethites, and all the Pel'ethites, and all the six hundred Gittites who had followed him from Gath, passed on before the king.

rsv@2Samuel:15:20 @ You came only yesterday, and shall I today make you wander about with us, seeing I go I know not where? Go back, and take your brethren with you; and may the LORD show steadfast love and faithfulness to you."

rsv@2Samuel:15:21 @ But It'tai answered the king, "As the LORD lives, and as my lord the king lives, wherever my lord the king shall be, whether for death or for life, there also will your servant be."

rsv@2Samuel:15:22 @ And David said to It'tai, "Go then, pass on." So It'tai the Gittite passed on, with all his men and all the little ones who were with him.

rsv@2Samuel:15:23 @ And all the country wept aloud as all the people passed by, and the king crossed the brook Kidron, and all the people passed on toward the wilderness.

rsv@2Samuel:15:24 @ And Abi'athar came up, and lo, Zadok came also, with all the Levites, bearing the ark of the covenant of God; and they set down the ark of God, until the people had all passed out of the city.

rsv@2Samuel:15:26 @ but if he says, `I have no pleasure in you,' behold, here I am, let him do to me what seems good to him."

rsv@2Samuel:15:30 @ But David went up the ascent of the Mount of Olives, weeping as he went, barefoot and with his head covered; and all the people who were with him covered their heads, and they went up, weeping as they went.

rsv@2Samuel:15:31 @ And it was told David, "Ahith'ophel is among the conspirators with Ab'salom." And David said, "O LORD, I pray thee, turn the counsel of Ahith'ophel into foolishness."

rsv@2Samuel:15:32 @ When David came to the summit, where God was worshiped, behold, Hushai the Archite came to meet him with his coat rent and earth upon his head.

rsv@2Samuel:15:34 @ But if you return to the city, and say to Ab'salom, `I will be your servant, O king; as I have been your father's servant in time past, so now I will be your servant,' then you will defeat for me the counsel of Ahith'ophel.

rsv@2Samuel:15:37 @ So Hushai, David's friend, came into the city, just as Ab'salom was entering Jerusalem.

rsv@2Samuel:16:1 @ When David had passed a little beyond the summit, Ziba the servant of Mephib'osheth met him, with a couple of asses saddled, bearing two hundred loaves of bread, a hundred bunches of raisins, a hundred of summer fruits, and a skin of wine.

rsv@2Samuel:16:2 @ And the king said to Ziba, "Why have you brought these?" Ziba answered, "The asses are for the king's household to ride on, the bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat, and the wine for those who faint in the wilderness to drink."

rsv@2Samuel:16:3 @ And the king said, "And where is your master's son?" Ziba said to the king, "Behold, he remains in Jerusalem; for he said, `Today the house of Israel will give me back the kingdom of my father.'"

rsv@2Samuel:16:5 @ When King David came to Bahu'rim, there came out a man of the family of the house of Saul, whose name was Shim'e-i, the son of Gera; and as he came he cursed continually.

rsv@2Samuel:16:7 @ And Shim'e-i said as he cursed, "Begone, begone, you man of blood, you worthless fellow!

rsv@2Samuel:16:8 @ The LORD has avenged upon you all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose place you have reigned; and the LORD has given the kingdom into the hand of your son Ab'salom. See, your ruin is on you; for you are a man of blood."

rsv@2Samuel:16:10 @ But the king said, "What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeru'iah? If he is cursing because the LORD has said to him, `Curse David,' who then shall say, `Why have you done so?'"

rsv@2Samuel:16:11 @ And David said to Abi'shai and to all his servants, "Behold, my own son seeks my life; how much more now may this Benjaminite! Let him alone, and let him curse; for the LORD has bidden him.

rsv@2Samuel:16:13 @ So David and his men went on the road, while Shim'e-i went along on the hillside opposite him and cursed as he went, and threw stones at him and flung dust.

rsv@2Samuel:16:19 @ And again, whom should I serve? Should it not be his son? As I have served your father, so I will serve you."

rsv@2Samuel:16:21 @ Ahith'ophel said to Ab'salom, "Go in to your father's concubines, whom he has left to keep the house; and all Israel will hear that you have made yourself odious to your father, and the hands of all who are with you will be strengthened."

rsv@2Samuel:16:23 @ Now in those days the counsel which Ahith'ophel gave was as if one consulted the oracle of God; so was all the counsel of Ahith'ophel esteemed, both by David and by Ab'salom.

rsv@2Samuel:17:3 @ and I will bring all the people back to you as a bride comes home to her husband. You seek the life of only one man, and all the people will be at peace."

rsv@2Samuel:17:4 @ And the advice pleased Ab'salom and all the elders of Israel.

rsv@2Samuel:17:5 @ Then Ab'salom said, "Call Hushai the Archite also, and let us hear what he has to say."

rsv@2Samuel:17:6 @ And when Hushai came to Ab'salom, Ab'salom said to him, "Thus has Ahith'ophel spoken; shall we do as he advises? If not, you speak."

rsv@2Samuel:17:7 @ Then Hushai said to Ab'salom, "This time the counsel which Ahith'ophel has given is not good."

rsv@2Samuel:17:9 @ Behold, even now he has hidden himself in one of the pits, or in some other place. And when some of the people fall at the first attack, whoever hears it will say, `There has been a slaughter among the people who follow Ab'salom.'

rsv@2Samuel:17:11 @ But my counsel is that all Israel be gathered to you, from Dan to Beer-sheba, as the sand by the sea for multitude, and that you go to battle in person.

rsv@2Samuel:17:12 @ So we shall come upon him in some place where he is to be found, and we shall light upon him as the dew falls on the ground; and of him and all the men with him not one will be left.

rsv@2Samuel:17:16 @ Now therefore send quickly and tell David, `Do not lodge tonight at the fords of the wilderness, but by all means pass over; lest the king and all the people who are with him be swallowed up.'"

rsv@2Samuel:17:19 @ And the woman took and spread a covering over the well's mouth, and scattered grain upon it; and nothing was known of it.

rsv@2Samuel:17:21 @ After they had gone, the men came up out of the well, and went and told King David. They said to David, "Arise, and go quickly over the water; for thus and so has Ahith'ophel counseled against you."

rsv@2Samuel:17:22 @ Then David arose, and all the people who were with him, and they crossed the Jordan; by daybreak not one was left who had not crossed the Jordan.

rsv@2Samuel:17:23 @ When Ahith'ophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled his ass, and went off home to his own city. And he set his house in order, and hanged himself; and he died, and was buried in the tomb of his father.

rsv@2Samuel:17:25 @ Now Ab'salom had set Ama'sa over the army instead of Jo'ab. Ama'sa was the son of a man named Ithra the Ish'maelite, who had married Ab'igal the daughter of Nahash, sister of Zeru'iah, Jo'ab's mother.

rsv@2Samuel:17:27 @ When David came to Mahana'im, Shobi the son of Nahash from Rabbah of the Ammonites, and Machir the son of Am'miel from Lo-debar, and Barzil'lai the Gileadite from Ro'gelim,

rsv@2Samuel:17:28 @ brought beds, basins, and earthen vessels, wheat, barley, meal, parched grain, beans and lentils,

rsv@2Samuel:18:6 @ So the army went out into the field against Israel; and the battle was fought in the forest of E'phraim.

rsv@2Samuel:18:7 @ And the men of Israel were defeated there by the servants of David, and the slaughter there was great on that day, twenty thousand men.

rsv@2Samuel:18:9 @ And Ab'salom chanced to meet the servants of David. Ab'salom was riding upon his mule, and the mule went under the thick branches of a great oak, and his head caught fast in the oak, and he was left hanging between heaven and earth, while the mule that was under him went on.

rsv@2Samuel:18:14 @ Jo'ab said, "I will not waste time like this with you." And he took three darts in his hand, and thrust them into the heart of Ab'salom, while he was still alive in the oak.

rsv@2Samuel:18:19 @ Then said Ahi'ma-az the son of Zadok, "Let me run, and carry tidings to the king that the LORD has delivered him from the power of his enemies."

rsv@2Samuel:18:24 @ Now David was sitting between the two gates; and the watchman went up to the roof of the gate by the wall, and when he lifted up his eyes and looked, he saw a man running alone.

rsv@2Samuel:18:28 @ Then Ahi'ma-az cried out to the king, "All is well." And he bowed before the king with his face to the earth, and said, "Blessed be the LORD your God, who has delivered up the men who raised their hand against my lord the king."

rsv@2Samuel:18:29 @ And the king said, "Is it well with the young man Ab'salom?" Ahi'ma-az answered, "When Jo'ab sent your servant, I saw a great tumult, but I do not know what it was."

rsv@2Samuel:18:30 @ And the king said, "Turn aside, and stand here." So he turned aside, and stood still.

rsv@2Samuel:18:31 @ And behold, the Cushite came; and the Cushite said, "Good tidings for my lord the king! For the LORD has delivered you this day from the power of all who rose up against you."

rsv@2Samuel:18:33 @ And the king was deeply moved, and went up to the chamber over the gate, and wept; and as he went, he said, "O my son Ab'salom, my son, my son Ab'salom! Would I had died instead of you, O Ab'salom, my son, my son!"

rsv@2Samuel:19:1 @ It was told Jo'ab, "Behold, the king is weeping and mourning for Ab'salom."

rsv@2Samuel:19:2 @ So the victory that day was turned into mourning for all the people; for the people heard that day, "The king is grieving for his son."

rsv@2Samuel:19:3 @ And the people stole into the city that day as people steal in who are ashamed when they flee in battle.

rsv@2Samuel:19:6 @ because you love those who hate you and hate those who love you. For you have made it clear today that commanders and servants are nothing to you; for today I perceive that if Ab'salom were alive and all of us were dead today, then you would be pleased.

rsv@2Samuel:19:7 @ Now therefore arise, go out and speak kindly to your servants; for I swear by the LORD, if you do not go, not a man will stay with you this night; and this will be worse for you than all the evil that has come upon you from your youth until now."

rsv@2Samuel:19:9 @ And all the people were at strife throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, "The king delivered us from the hand of our enemies, and saved us from the hand of the Philistines; and now he has fled out of the land from Ab'salom.

rsv@2Samuel:23:3 @ The God of Israel has spoken, the Rock of Israel has said to me: When one rules justly over men, ruling in the fear of God,

rsv@2Samuel:23:4 @ he dawns on them like the morning light, like the sun shining forth upon a cloudless morning, like rain that makes grass to sprout from the earth.

rsv@2Samuel:23:5 @ Yea, does not my house stand so with God? For he has made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things and secure. For will he not cause to prosper all my help and my desire?

rsv@2Samuel:23:8 @ These are the names of the mighty men whom David had: Josheb-basshe'beth a Tah-che'monite; he was chief of the three; he wielded his spear against eight hundred whom he slew at one time.

rsv@2Samuel:23:9 @ And next to him among the three mighty men was Elea'zar the son of Dodo, son of Aho'hi. He was with David when they defied the Philistines who were gathered there for battle, and the men of Israel withdrew.

rsv@2Samuel:23:10 @ He rose and struck down the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand cleaved to the sword; and the LORD wrought a great victory that day; and the men returned after him only to strip the slain.

rsv@2Samuel:23:11 @ And next to him was Shammah, the son of Agee the Har'arite. The Philistines gathered together at Lehi, where there was a plot of ground full of lentils; and the men fled from the Philistines.

rsv@2Samuel:23:13 @ And three of the thirty chief men went down, and came about harvest time to David at the cave of Adullam, when a band of Philistines was encamped in the valley of Reph'aim.

rsv@2Samuel:23:14 @ David was then in the stronghold; and the garrison of the Philistines was then at Bethlehem.

rsv@2Samuel:23:16 @ Then the three mighty men broke through the camp of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem which was by the gate, and took and brought it to David. But he would not drink of it; he poured it out to the LORD,

rsv@2Samuel:23:18 @ Now Abi'shai, the brother of Jo'ab, the son of Zeru'iah, was chief of the thirty. And he wielded his spear against three hundred men and slew them, and won a name beside the three.

rsv@2Samuel:23:19 @ He was the most renowned of the thirty, and became their commander; but he did not attain to the three.

rsv@2Samuel:23:20 @ And Benai'ah the son of Jehoi'ada was a valiant man of Kabzeel, a doer of great deeds; he smote two ariels of Moab. He also went down and slew a lion in a pit on a day when snow had fallen.

rsv@2Samuel:23:23 @ He was renowned among the thirty, but he did not attain to the three. And David set him over his bodyguard.

rsv@2Samuel:23:24 @ As'ahel the brother of Jo'ab was one of the thirty; Elha'nan the son of Dodo of Bethlehem,

rsv@2Samuel:24:1 @ Again the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he incited David against them, saying, "Go, number Israel and Judah."

rsv@2Samuel:24:3 @ But Jo'ab said to the king, "May the LORD your God add to the people a hundred times as many as they are, while the eyes of my lord the king still see it; but why does my lord the king delight in this thing?"

rsv@2Samuel:24:16 @ And when the angel stretched forth his hand toward Jerusalem to destroy it, the LORD repented of the evil, and said to the angel who was working destruction among the people, "It is enough; now stay your hand." And the angel of the LORD was by the threshing floor of Arau'nah the Jeb'usite.

rsv@2Samuel:24:17 @ Then David spoke to the LORD when he saw the angel who was smiting the people, and said, "Lo, I have sinned, and I have done wickedly; but these sheep, what have they done? Let thy hand, I pray thee, be against me and against my father's house."

rsv@2Samuel:24:19 @ So David went up at Gad's word, as the LORD commanded.

rsv@2Samuel:24:21 @ And Arau'nah said, "Why has my lord the king come to his servant?" David said, "To buy the threshing floor of you, in order to build an altar to the LORD, that the plague may be averted from the people."

rsv@2Samuel:24:25 @ And David built there an altar to the LORD, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. So the LORD heeded supplications for the land, and the plague was averted from Israel.

rsv@1Kings:1:41 @ Adoni'jah and all the guests who were with him heard it as they finished feasting. And when Jo'ab heard the sound of the trumpet, he said, "What does this uproar in the city mean?"

rsv@1Kings:1:42 @ While he was still speaking, behold, Jonathan the son of Abi'athar the priest came; and Adoni'jah said, "Come in, for you are a worthy man and bring good news."

rsv@1Kings:2:11 @ And the time that David reigned over Israel was forty years; he reigned seven years in Hebron, and thirty-three years in Jerusalem.

rsv@1Kings:2:12 @ So Solomon sat upon the throne of David his father; and his kingdom was firmly established.

rsv@1Kings:2:15 @ He said, "You know that the kingdom was mine, and that all Israel fully expected me to reign; however the kingdom has turned about and become my brother's, for it was his from the LORD.

rsv@1Kings:2:24 @ Now therefore as the LORD lives, who has established me, and placed me on the throne of David my father, and who has made me a house, as he promised, Adoni'jah shall be put to death this day."

rsv@1Kings:3:15 @ And Solomon awoke, and behold, it was a dream. Then he came to Jerusalem, and stood before the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and offered up burnt offerings and peace offerings, and made a feast for all his servants.

rsv@1Kings:3:17 @ The one woman said, "Oh, my lord, this woman and I dwell in the same house; and I gave birth to a child while she was in the house.

rsv@1Kings:3:24 @ And the king said, "Bring me a sword." So a sword was brought before the king.

rsv@1Kings:3:26 @ Then the woman whose son was alive said to the king, because her heart yearned for her son, "Oh, my lord, give her the living child, and by no means slay it." But the other said, "It shall be neither mine nor yours; divide it."

rsv@1Kings:3:28 @ And all Israel heard of the judgment which the king had rendered; and they stood in awe of the king, because they perceived that the wisdom of God was in him, to render justice.

rsv@1Chronicles:16:4 @ Moreover he appointed certain of the Levites as ministers before the ark of the LORD, to invoke, to thank, and to praise the LORD, the God of Israel.

rsv@1Chronicles:16:7 @ Then on that day David first appointed that thanksgiving be sung to the LORD by Asaph and his brethren.

rsv@1Chronicles:16:12 @ Remember the wonderful works that he has done, the wonders he wrought, the judgments he uttered,

rsv@2Chronicles:7:5 @ King Solomon offered as a sacrifice twenty-two thousand oxen and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the people dedicated the house of God.

rsv@2Chronicles:7:6 @ The priests stood at their posts; the Levites also, with the instruments for music to the LORD which King David had made for giving thanks to the LORD--for his steadfast love endures for ever--whenever David offered praises by their ministry; opposite them the priests sounded trumpets; and all Israel stood.

rsv@2Chronicles:7:7 @ And Solomon consecrated the middle of the court that was before the house of the LORD; for there he offered the burnt offering and the fat of the peace offerings, because the bronze altar Solomon had made could not hold the burnt offering and the cereal offering and the fat.

rsv@2Chronicles:7:8 @ At that time Solomon held the feast for seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great congregation, from the entrance of Hamath to the Brook of Egypt.

rsv@2Chronicles:7:9 @ And on the eighth day they held a solemn assembly; for they had kept the dedication of the altar seven days and the feast seven days.

rsv@2Chronicles:7:12 @ Then the LORD appeared to Solomon in the night and said to him: "I have heard your prayer, and have chosen this place for myself as a house of sacrifice.

rsv@2Chronicles:7:17 @ And as for you, if you walk before me, as David your father walked, doing according to all that I have commanded you and keeping my statutes and my ordinances,

rsv@2Chronicles:7:18 @ then I will establish your royal throne, as I covenanted with David your father, saying, `There shall not fail you a man to rule Israel.'

rsv@2Chronicles:7:19 @ "But if you turn aside and forsake my statutes and my commandments which I have set before you, and go and serve other gods and worship them,

rsv@2Chronicles:7:20 @ then I will pluck you up from the land which I have given you; and this house, which I have consecrated for my name, I will cast out of my sight, and will make it a proverb and a byword among all peoples.

rsv@2Chronicles:7:21 @ And at this house, which is exalted, every one passing by will be astonished, and say, `Why has the LORD done thus to this land and to this house?"

rsv@2Chronicles:7:22 @ Then they will say, `Because they forsook the LORD the God of their fathers who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold on other gods, and worshiped them and served them; therefore he has brought all this evil upon them'"

rsv@2Chronicles:8:11 @ Solomon brought Pharaoh's daughter up from the city of David to the house which he had built for her, for he said, "My wife shall not live in the house of David king of Israel, for the places to which the ark of the LORD has come are holy."

rsv@2Chronicles:8:13 @ as the duty of each day required, offering according to the commandment of Moses for the sabbaths, the new moons, and the three annual feasts--the feast of unleavened bread, the feast of weeks, and the feast of tabernacles.

rsv@2Chronicles:8:14 @ According to the ordinance of David his father, he appointed the divisions of the priests for their service, and the Levites for their offices of praise and ministry before the priests as the duty of each day required, and the gatekeepers in their divisions for the several gates; for so David the man of God had commanded.

rsv@2Chronicles:8:15 @ And they did not turn aside from what the king had commanded the priests and Levites concerning any matter and concerning the treasuries.

rsv@2Chronicles:8:16 @ Thus was accomplished all the work of Solomon from the day the foundation of the house of the LORD was laid until it was finished. So the house of the LORD was completed.

rsv@2Chronicles:9:1 @ Now when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon she came to Jerusalem to test him with hard questions, having a very great retinue and camels bearing spices and very much gold and precious stones. When she came to Solomon, she told him all that was on her mind.

rsv@2Chronicles:9:2 @ And Solomon answered all her questions; there was nothing hidden from Solomon which he could not explain to her.

rsv@2Chronicles:9:4 @ the food of his table, the seating of his officials, and the attendance of his servants, and their clothing, his cupbearers, and their clothing, and his burnt offerings which he offered at the house of the LORD, there was no more spirit in her.

rsv@2Chronicles:9:5 @ And she said to the king, "The report was true which I heard in my own land of your affairs and of your wisdom,

rsv@2Chronicles:9:6 @ but I did not believe the reports until I came and my own eyes had seen it; and behold, half the greatness of your wisdom was not told me; you surpass the report which I heard.

rsv@2Chronicles:9:8 @ Blessed be the LORD your God, who has delighted in you and set you on his throne as king for the LORD your God! Because your God loved Israel and would establish them for ever, he has made you king over them, that you may execute justice and righteousness."

rsv@2Chronicles:9:9 @ Then she gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and a very great quantity of spices, and precious stones: there were no spices such as those which the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.

rsv@2Chronicles:9:11 @ And the king made of the algum wood steps for the house of the LORD and for the king's house, lyres also and harps for the singers; there never was seen the like of them before in the land of Judah.

rsv@2Chronicles:9:12 @ And King Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all that she desired, whatever she asked besides what she had brought to the king. So she turned and went back to her own land, with her servants.

rsv@2Chronicles:9:13 @ Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold,

rsv@2Chronicles:9:19 @ while twelve lions stood there, one on each end of a step on the six steps. The like of it was never made in any kingdom.

rsv@2Chronicles:9:20 @ All King Solomon's drinking vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the House of the Forest of Lebanon were of pure gold; silver was not considered as anything in the days of Solomon.

rsv@2Chronicles:9:27 @ And the king made silver as common in Jerusalem as stone, and cedar as plentiful as the sycamore of the Shephe'lah.

rsv@2Chronicles:9:29 @ Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, from first to last, are they not written in the history of Nathan the prophet, and in the prophecy of Ahi'jah the Shi'lonite, and in the visions of Iddo the seer concerning Jerobo'am the son of Nebat?

rsv@2Chronicles:9:31 @ And Solomon slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David his father; and Rehobo'am his son reigned in his stead.

rsv@2Chronicles:10:2 @ And when Jerobo'am the son of Nebat heard of it (for he was in Egypt, whither he had fled from King Solomon), then Jerobo'am returned from Egypt.

rsv@2Chronicles:10:6 @ Then King Rehobo'am took counsel with the old men, who had stood before Solomon his father while he was yet alive, saying, "How do you advise me to answer this people?"

rsv@2Chronicles:10:7 @ And they said to him, "If you will be kind to this people and please them, and speak good words to them, then they will be your servants for ever."

rsv@2Chronicles:10:11 @ And now, whereas my father laid upon you a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke. My father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.'"

rsv@2Chronicles:10:12 @ So Jerobo'am and all the people came to Rehobo'am the third day, as the king said, "Come to me again the third day."

rsv@2Chronicles:10:14 @ King Rehobo'am spoke to them according to the counsel of the young men, saying, "My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to it; my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions."

rsv@2Chronicles:10:15 @ So the king did not hearken to the people; for it was a turn of affairs brought about by God that the LORD might fulfil his word, which he spoke by Ahi'jah the Shi'lonite to Jerobo'am the son of Nebat.

rsv@2Chronicles:10:18 @ Then King Rehobo'am sent Hador'am, who was taskmaster over the forced labor, and the people of Israel stoned him to death with stones. And King Rehobo'am made haste to mount his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.

rsv@2Chronicles:10:19 @ So Israel has been in rebellion against the house of David to this day.

rsv@2Chronicles:11:1 @ When Rehobo'am came to Jerusalem, he assembled the house of Judah, and Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand chosen warriors, to fight against Israel, to restore the kingdom to Rehobo'am.

rsv@2Chronicles:11:14 @ For the Levites left their common lands and their holdings and came to Judah and Jerusalem, because Jerobo'am and his sons cast them out from serving as priests of the LORD,

rsv@2Chronicles:11:18 @ Rehobo'am took as wife Ma'halath the daughter of Jer'imoth the son of David, and of Ab'ihail the daughter of Eli'ab the son of Jesse;

rsv@2Chronicles:11:22 @ and Rehobo'am appointed Abi'jah the son of Ma'acah as chief prince among his brothers, for he intended to make him king.

rsv@2Chronicles:12:1 @ When the rule of Rehobo'am was established and was strong, he forsook the law of the LORD, and all Israel with him.

rsv@2Chronicles:12:4 @ And he took the fortified cities of Judah and came as far as Jerusalem.

rsv@2Chronicles:12:9 @ So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem; he took away the treasures of the house of the LORD and the treasures of the king's house; he took away everything. He also took away the shields of gold which Solomon had made;

rsv@2Chronicles:12:11 @ And as often as the king went into the house of the LORD, the guard came and bore them, and brought them back to the guardroom.

rsv@2Chronicles:12:12 @ And when he humbled himself the wrath of the LORD turned from him, so as not to make a complete destruction; moreover, conditions were good in Judah.

rsv@2Chronicles:12:13 @ So King Rehobo'am established himself in Jerusalem and reigned. Rehobo'am was forty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel to put his name there. His mother's name was Na'amah the Ammonitess.

rsv@2Chronicles:12:15 @ Now the acts of Rehobo'am, from first to last, are they not written in the chronicles of Shemai'ah the prophet and of Iddo the seer? There were continual wars between Rehobo'am and Jerobo'am.

rsv@2Chronicles:13:2 @ He reigned for three years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Micai'ah the daughter of U'riel of Gib'e-ah. Now there was war between Abi'jah and Jerobo'am.

rsv@2Chronicles:13:7 @ and certain worthless scoundrels gathered about him and defied Rehobo'am the son of Solomon, when Rehobo'am was young and irresolute and could not withstand them.

rsv@2Chronicles:13:10 @ But as for us, the LORD is our God, and we have not forsaken him. We have priests ministering to the LORD who are sons of Aaron, and Levites for their service.

rsv@2Chronicles:13:13 @ Jerobo'am had sent an ambush around to come on them from behind; thus his troops were in front of Judah, and the ambush was behind them.

rsv@2Chronicles:13:14 @ And when Judah looked, behold, the battle was before and behind them; and they cried to the LORD, and the priests blew the trumpets.

rsv@2Chronicles:14:1 @ So Abi'jah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David; and Asa his son reigned in his stead. In his days the land had rest for ten years.

rsv@2Chronicles:14:2 @ And Asa did what was good and right in the eyes of the LORD his God.

rsv@2Chronicles:14:3 @ He took away the foreign altars and the high places, and broke down the pillars and hewed down the Ashe'rim,

rsv@2Chronicles:14:7 @ And he said to Judah, "Let us build these cities, and surround them with walls and towers, gates and bars; the land is still ours, because we have sought the LORD our God; we have sought him, and he has given us peace on every side." So they built and prospered.

rsv@2Chronicles:14:8 @ And Asa had an army of three hundred thousand from Judah, armed with bucklers and spears, and two hundred and eighty thousand men from Benjamin, that carried shields and drew bows; all these were mighty men of valor.

rsv@2Chronicles:14:9 @ Zerah the Ethiopian came out against them with an army of a million men and three hundred chariots, and came as far as Mare'shah.

rsv@2Chronicles:14:10 @ And Asa went out to meet him, and they drew up their lines of battle in the valley of Zeph'athah at Mare'shah.

rsv@2Chronicles:14:11 @ And Asa cried to the LORD his God, "O LORD, there is none like thee to help, between the mighty and the weak. Help us, O LORD our God, for we rely on thee, and in thy name we have come against this multitude. O LORD, thou art our God; let not man prevail against thee."

rsv@2Chronicles:14:12 @ So the LORD defeated the Ethiopians before Asa and before Judah, and the Ethiopians fled.

rsv@2Chronicles:14:13 @ Asa and the people that were with him pursued them as far as Gerar, and the Ethiopians fell until none remained alive; for they were broken before the LORD and his army. The men of Judah carried away very much booty.

rsv@2Chronicles:14:14 @ And they smote all the cities round about Gerar, for the fear of the LORD was upon them. They plundered all the cities, for there was much plunder in them.

rsv@2Chronicles:15:2 @ and he went out to meet Asa, and said to him, "Hear me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin: The LORD is with you, while you are with him. If you seek him, he will be found by you, but if you forsake him, he will forsake you.

rsv@2Chronicles:15:3 @ For a long time Israel was without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law;

rsv@2Chronicles:15:4 @ but when in their distress they turned to the LORD, the God of Israel, and sought him, he was found by them.

rsv@2Chronicles:15:5 @ In those times there was no peace to him who went out or to him who came in, for great disturbances afflicted all the inhabitants of the lands.

rsv@2Chronicles:15:8 @ When Asa heard these words, the prophecy of Azari'ah the son of Oded, he took courage, and put away the abominable idols from all the land of Judah and Benjamin and from the cities which he had taken in the hill country of E'phraim, and he repaired the altar of the LORD that was in front of the vestibule of the house of the LORD.

rsv@2Chronicles:15:9 @ And he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and those from E'phraim, Manas'seh, and Simeon who were sojourning with them, for great numbers had deserted to him from Israel when they saw that the LORD his God was with him.

rsv@2Chronicles:15:10 @ They were gathered at Jerusalem in the third month of the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa.

rsv@2Chronicles:15:15 @ And all Judah rejoiced over the oath; for they had sworn with all their heart, and had sought him with their whole desire, and he was found by them, and the LORD gave them rest round about.

rsv@2Chronicles:15:16 @ Even Ma'acah, his mother, King Asa removed from being queen mother because she had made an abominable image for Ashe'rah. Asa cut down her image, crushed it, and burned it at the brook Kidron.

rsv@2Chronicles:15:17 @ But the high places were not taken out of Israel. Nevertheless the heart of Asa was blameless all his days.

rsv@2Chronicles:15:19 @ And there was no more war until the thirty-fifth year of the reign of Asa.

rsv@2Chronicles:16:1 @ In the thirty-sixth year of the reign of Asa, Ba'asha king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might permit no one to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.

rsv@2Chronicles:16:2 @ Then Asa took silver and gold from the treasures of the house of the LORD and the king's house, and sent them to Ben-ha'dad king of Syria, who dwelt in Damascus, saying,

rsv@2Chronicles:16:3 @ "Let there be a league between me and you, as between my father and your father; behold, I am sending to you silver and gold; go, break your league with Ba'asha king of Israel, that he may withdraw from me."

rsv@2Chronicles:16:4 @ And Ben-ha'dad hearkened to King Asa, and sent the commanders of his armies against the cities of Israel, and they conquered I'jon, Dan, A'bel-ma'im, and all the store-cities of Naph'tali.

rsv@2Chronicles:16:5 @ And when Ba'asha heard of it, he stopped building Ramah, and let his work cease.

rsv@2Chronicles:16:6 @ Then King Asa took all Judah, and they carried away the stones of Ramah and its timber, with which Ba'asha had been building, and with them he built Geba and Mizpah.

rsv@2Chronicles:16:7 @ At that time Hana'ni the seer came to Asa king of Judah, and said to him, "Because you relied on the king of Syria, and did not rely on the LORD your God, the army of the king of Syria has escaped you.

rsv@2Chronicles:16:10 @ Then Asa was angry with the seer, and put him in the stocks, in prison, for he was in a rage with him because of this. And Asa inflicted cruelties upon some of the people at the same time.

rsv@2Chronicles:16:11 @ The acts of Asa, from first to last, are written in the Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel.

rsv@2Chronicles:16:12 @ In the thirty-ninth year of his reign Asa was diseased in his feet, and his disease became severe; yet even in his disease he did not seek the LORD, but sought help from physicians.

rsv@2Chronicles:16:13 @ And Asa slept with his fathers, dying in the forty-first year of his reign.

rsv@2Chronicles:17:2 @ He placed forces in all the fortified cities of Judah, and set garrisons in the land of Judah, and in the cities of E'phraim which Asa his father had taken.

rsv@2Chronicles:17:3 @ The LORD was with Jehosh'aphat, because he walked in the earlier ways of his father; he did not seek the Ba'als,

rsv@2Chronicles:17:6 @ His heart was courageous in the ways of the LORD; and furthermore he took the high places and the Ashe'rim out of Judah.

rsv@2Chronicles:17:8 @ and with them the Levites, Shemai'ah, Nethani'ah, Zebadi'ah, As'ahel, Shemi'ramoth, Jehon'athan, Adoni'jah, Tobi'jah, and Tobadoni'jah; and with these Levites, the priests Eli'shama and Jeho'ram.

rsv@2Chronicles:29:25 @ And he stationed the Levites in the house of the LORD with cymbals, harps, and lyres, according to the commandment of David and of Gad the king's seer and of Nathan the prophet; for the commandment was from the LORD through his prophets.

rsv@2Chronicles:29:29 @ When the offering was finished, the king and all who were present with him bowed themselves and worshiped.

rsv@2Chronicles:29:30 @ And Hezeki'ah the king and the princes commanded the Levites to sing praises to the LORD with the words of David and of Asaph the seer. And they sang praises with gladness, and they bowed down and worshiped.

rsv@2Chronicles:29:31 @ Then Hezeki'ah said, "You have now consecrated yourselves to the LORD; come near, bring sacrifices and thank offerings to the house of the LORD." And the assembly brought sacrifices and thank offerings; and all who were of a willing heart brought burnt offerings.

rsv@2Chronicles:29:32 @ The number of the burnt offerings which the assembly brought was seventy bulls, a hundred rams, and two hundred lambs; all these were for a burnt offering to the LORD.

rsv@2Chronicles:29:34 @ But the priests were too few and could not flay all the burnt offerings, so until other priests had sanctified themselves their brethren the Levites helped them, until the work was finished--for the Levites were more upright in heart than the priests in sanctifying themselves.

rsv@2Chronicles:29:35 @ Besides the great number of burnt offerings there was the fat of the peace offerings, and there were the libations for the burnt offerings. Thus the service of the house of the LORD was restored.

rsv@2Chronicles:30:1 @ Hezeki'ah sent to all Israel and Judah, and wrote letters also to E'phraim and Manas'seh, that they should come to the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, to keep the passover to the LORD the God of Israel.

rsv@2Chronicles:30:3 @ for they could not keep it in its time because the priests had not sanctified themselves in sufficient number, nor had the people assembled in Jerusalem--

rsv@2Chronicles:30:4 @ and the plan seemed right to the king and all the assembly.

rsv@2Chronicles:30:5 @ So they decreed to make a proclamation throughout all Israel, from Beer-sheba to Dan, that the people should come and keep the passover to the LORD the God of Israel, at Jerusalem; for they had not kept it in great numbers as prescribed.

rsv@2Chronicles:30:7 @ Do not be like your fathers and your brethren, who were faithless to the LORD God of their fathers, so that he made them a desolation, as you see.

rsv@2Chronicles:30:8 @ Do not now be stiff-necked as your fathers were, but yield yourselves to the LORD, and come to his sanctuary, which he has sanctified for ever, and serve the LORD your God, that his fierce anger may turn away from you.

rsv@2Chronicles:30:9 @ For if you return to the LORD, your brethren and your children will find compassion with their captors, and return to this land. For the LORD your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away his face from you, if you return to him."

rsv@2Chronicles:32:27 @ And Hezeki'ah had very great riches and honor; and he made for himself treasuries for silver, for gold, for precious stones, for spices, for shields, and for all kinds of costly vessels;

rsv@2Chronicles:32:31 @ And so in the matter of the envoys of the princes of Babylon, who had been sent to him to inquire about the sign that had been done in the land, God left him to himself, in order to try him and to know all that was in his heart.

rsv@2Chronicles:32:33 @ And Hezeki'ah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the ascent of the tombs of the sons of David; and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem did him honor at his death. And Manas'seh his son reigned in his stead.

rsv@2Chronicles:33:1 @ Manas'seh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem.

rsv@2Chronicles:33:2 @ He did what was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to the abominable practices of the nations whom the LORD drove out before the people of Israel.

rsv@2Chronicles:33:3 @ For he rebuilt the high places which his father Hezeki'ah had broken down, and erected altars to the Ba'als, and made Ashe'rahs, and worshiped all the host of heaven, and served them.

rsv@2Chronicles:33:6 @ And he burned his sons as an offering in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and practiced soothsaying and augury and sorcery, and dealt with mediums and with wizards. He did much evil in the sight of the LORD, provoking him to anger.

rsv@2Chronicles:33:9 @ Manas'seh seduced Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that they did more evil than the nations whom the LORD destroyed before the people of Israel.

rsv@2Chronicles:33:10 @ The LORD spoke to Manas'seh and to his people, but they gave no heed.

rsv@2Chronicles:33:11 @ Therefore the LORD brought upon them the commanders of the army of the king of Assyria, who took Manas'seh with hooks and bound him with fetters of bronze and brought him to Babylon.

rsv@2Chronicles:33:12 @ And when he was in distress he entreated the favor of the LORD his God and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers.

rsv@2Chronicles:33:13 @ He prayed to him, and God received his entreaty and heard his supplication and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manas'seh knew that the LORD was God.

rsv@2Chronicles:34:4 @ And they broke down the altars of the Ba'als in his presence; and he hewed down the incense altars which stood above them; and he broke in pieces the Ashe'rim and the graven and the molten images, and he made dust of them and strewed it over the graves of those who had sacrificed to them.

rsv@2Chronicles:34:22 @ So Hilki'ah and those whom the king had sent went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tokhath, son of Hasrah, keeper of the wardrobe (now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the Second Quarter) and spoke to her to that effect.

rsv@2Chronicles:34:24 @ Thus says the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place and upon its inhabitants, all the curses that are written in the book which was read before the king of Judah.

rsv@2Chronicles:35:7 @ Then Josi'ah contributed to the lay people, as passover offerings for all that were present, lambs and kids from the flock to the number of thirty thousand, and three thousand bulls; these were from the king's possessions.

rsv@2Chronicles:35:8 @ And his princes contributed willingly to the people, to the priests, and to the Levites. Hilki'ah, Zechari'ah, and Jehi'el, the chief officers of the house of God, gave to the priests for the passover offerings two thousand six hundred lambs and kids and three hundred bulls.

rsv@2Chronicles:35:9 @ Conani'ah also, and Shemai'ah and Nethan'el his brothers, and Hashabi'ah and Je-i'el and Jo'zabad, the chiefs of the Levites, gave to the Levites for the passover offerings five thousand lambs and kids and five hundred bulls.

rsv@2Chronicles:35:11 @ And they killed the passover lamb, and the priests sprinkled the blood which they received from them while the Levites flayed the victims.

rsv@2Chronicles:35:12 @ And they set aside the burnt offerings that they might distribute them according to the groupings of the fathers' houses of the lay people, to offer to the LORD, as it is written in the book of Moses. And so they did with the bulls.

rsv@2Chronicles:35:13 @ And they roasted the passover lamb with fire according to the ordinance; and they boiled the holy offerings in pots, in caldrons, and in pans, and carried them quickly to all the lay people.

rsv@2Chronicles:35:15 @ The singers, the sons of Asaph, were in their place according to the command of David, and Asaph, and Heman, and Jedu'thun the king's seer; and the gatekeepers were at each gate; they did not need to depart from their service, for their brethren the Levites prepared for them.

rsv@Ezra:9:5 @ And at the evening sacrifice I rose from my fasting, with my garments and my mantle rent, and fell upon my knees and spread out my hands to the LORD my God,

rsv@Ezra:9:6 @ saying: "O my God, I am ashamed and blush to lift my face to thee, my God, for our iniquities have risen higher than our heads, and our guilt has mounted up to the heavens.

rsv@Ezra:9:7 @ From the days of our fathers to this day we have been in great guilt; and for our iniquities we, our kings, and our priests have been given into the hand of the kings of the lands, to the sword, to captivity, to plundering, and to utter shame, as at this day.

rsv@Ezra:9:8 @ But now for a brief moment favor has been shown by the LORD our God, to leave us a remnant, and to give us a secure hold within his holy place, that our God may brighten our eyes and grant us a little reviving in our bondage.

rsv@Ezra:9:9 @ For we are bondmen; yet our God has not forsaken us in our bondage, but has extended to us his steadfast love before the kings of Persia, to grant us some reviving to set up the house of our God, to repair its ruins, and to give us protection in Judea and Jerusalem.

rsv@Ezra:9:13 @ And after all that has come upon us for our evil deeds and for our great guilt, seeing that thou, our God, hast punished us less than our iniquities deserved and hast given us such a remnant as this,

rsv@Ezra:9:15 @ O LORD the God of Israel, thou art just, for we are left a remnant that has escaped, as at this day. Behold, we are before thee in our guilt, for none can stand before thee because of this."

rsv@Ezra:10:1 @ While Ezra prayed and made confession, weeping and casting himself down before the house of God, a very great assembly of men, women, and children, gathered to him out of Israel; for the people wept bitterly.

rsv@Ezra:10:4 @ Arise, for it is your task, and we are with you; be strong and do it."

rsv@Ezra:10:5 @ Then Ezra arose and made the leading priests and Levites and all Israel take oath that they would do as had been said. So they took the oath.

rsv@Ezra:10:6 @ Then Ezra withdrew from before the house of God, and went to the chamber of Jehoha'nan the son of Eli'ashib, where he spent the night, neither eating bread nor drinking water; for he was mourning over the faithlessness of the exiles.

rsv@Ezra:10:7 @ And a proclamation was made throughout Judah and Jerusalem to all the returned exiles that they should assemble at Jerusalem,

rsv@Ezra:10:9 @ Then all the men of Judah and Benjamin assembled at Jerusalem within the three days; it was the ninth month, on the twentieth day of the month. And all the people sat in the open square before the house of God, trembling because of this matter and because of the heavy rain.

rsv@Ezra:10:10 @ And Ezra the priest stood up and said to them, "You have trespassed and married foreign women, and so increased the guilt of Israel.

rsv@Ezra:10:14 @ Let our officials stand for the whole assembly; let all in our cities who have taken foreign wives come at appointed times, and with them the elders and judges of every city, till the fierce wrath of our God over this matter be averted from us."

rsv@Nehemiah:1:1 @ The words of Nehemi'ah the son of Hacali'ah. Now it happened in the month of Chislev, in the twentieth year, as I was in Susa the capital,

rsv@Nehemiah:1:2 @ that Hana'ni, one of my brethren, came with certain men out of Judah; and I asked them concerning the Jews that survived, who had escaped exile, and concerning Jerusalem.

rsv@Nehemiah:1:4 @ When I heard these words I sat down and wept, and mourned for days; and I continued fasting and praying before the God of heaven.

rsv@Nehemiah:1:5 @ And I said, "O LORD God of heaven, the great and terrible God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments;

rsv@Nehemiah:1:10 @ They are thy servants and thy people, whom thou hast redeemed by thy great power and by thy strong hand.

rsv@Nehemiah:1:11 @ O Lord, let thy ear be attentive to the prayer of thy servant, and to the prayer of thy servants who delight to fear thy name; and give success to thy servant today, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man." Now I was cupbearer to the king.

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

rsv@Nehemiah:2:2 @ And the king said to me, "Why is your face sad, seeing you are not sick? This is nothing else but sadness of the heart." Then I was very much afraid.

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

rsv@Nehemiah:2:5 @ And I said to the king, "If it pleases the king, and if your servant has found favor in your sight, that you send me to Judah, to the city of my fathers' sepulchres, that I may rebuild it."

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

rsv@Nehemiah:2:7 @ And I said to the king, "If it pleases the king, let letters be given me to the governors of the province Beyond the River, that they may let me pass through until I come to Judah;

rsv@Nehemiah:2:8 @ and a letter to Asaph, the keeper of the king's forest, that he may give me timber to make beams for the gates of the fortress of the temple, and for the wall of the city, and for the house which I shall occupy." And the king granted me what I asked, for the good hand of my God was upon me.

rsv@Nehemiah:2:10 @ But when Sanbal'lat the Hor'onite and Tobi'ah the servant, the Ammonite, heard this, it displeased them greatly that some one had come to seek the welfare of the children of Israel.

rsv@Nehemiah:2:11 @ So I came to Jerusalem and was there three days.

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

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

rsv@Nehemiah:2:16 @ And the officials did not know where I had gone or what I was doing; and I had not yet told the Jews, the priests, the nobles, the officials, and the rest that were to do the work.

rsv@Nehemiah:3:1 @ Then Eli'ashib the high priest rose up with his brethren the priests and they built the Sheep Gate. They consecrated it and set its doors; they consecrated it as far as the Tower of the Hundred, as far as the Tower of Hanan'el.

rsv@Nehemiah:3:3 @ And the sons of Hassena'ah built the Fish Gate; they laid its beams and set its doors, its bolts, and its bars.

rsv@Nehemiah:3:6 @ And Joi'ada the son of Pase'ah and Meshul'lam the son of Besodei'ah repaired the Old Gate; they laid its beams and set its doors, its bolts, and its bars.

rsv@Nehemiah:3:10 @ Next to them Jedai'ah the son of Haru'maph repaired opposite his house; and next to him Hattush the son of Hashabnei'ah repaired.

rsv@Nehemiah:3:11 @ Malchi'jah the son of Harim and Hasshub the son of Pa'hath-mo'ab repaired another section and the Tower of the Ovens.

rsv@Nehemiah:3:13 @ Hanun and the inhabitants of Zano'ah repaired the Valley Gate; they rebuilt it and set its doors, its bolts, and its bars, and repaired a thousand cubits of the wall, as far as the Dung Gate.

rsv@Nehemiah:3:15 @ And Shallum the son of Colho'zeh, ruler of the district of Mizpah, repaired the Fountain Gate; he rebuilt it and covered it and set its doors, its bolts, and its bars; and he built the wall of the Pool of Shelah of the king's garden, as far as the stairs that go down from the City of David.

rsv@Nehemiah:3:17 @ After him the Levites repaired: Rehum the son of Bani; next to him Hashabi'ah, ruler of half the district of Kei'lah, repaired for his district.

rsv@Nehemiah:3:19 @ next to him Ezer the son of Jeshua, ruler of Mizpah, repaired another section opposite the ascent to the armory at the Angle.

rsv@Nehemiah:3:20 @ After him Baruch the son of Zab'bai repaired another section from the Angle to the door of the house of Eli'ashib the high priest.

rsv@Nehemiah:3:21 @ After him Mer'emoth the son of Uri'ah, son of Hakkoz repaired another section from the door of the house of Eli'ashib to the end of the house of Eli'ashib.

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

rsv@Nehemiah:3:26 @ and the temple servants living on Ophel repaired to a point opposite the Water Gate on the east and the projecting tower.

rsv@Nehemiah:3:27 @ After him the Teko'ites repaired another section opposite the great projecting tower as far as the wall of Ophel.

rsv@Nehemiah:3:29 @ After them Zadok the son of Immer repaired opposite his own house. After him Shemai'ah the son of Shecani'ah, the keeper of the East Gate, repaired.

rsv@Nehemiah:3:31 @ After him Malchi'jah, one of the goldsmiths, repaired as far as the house of the temple servants and of the merchants, opposite the Muster Gate, and to the upper chamber of the corner.

rsv@Nehemiah:4:1 @ Now when Sanbal'lat heard that we were building the wall, he was angry and greatly enraged, and he ridiculed the Jews.

rsv@Nehemiah:4:3 @ Tobi'ah the Ammonite was by him, and he said, "Yes, what they are building-- if a fox goes up on it he will break down their stone wall!"

rsv@Nehemiah:4:6 @ So we built the wall; and all the wall was joined together to half its height. For the people had a mind to work.

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

rsv@Nehemiah:4:9 @ And we prayed to our God, and set a guard as a protection against them day and night.

rsv@Nehemiah:4:15 @ When our enemies heard that it was known to us and that God had frustrated their plan, we all returned to the wall, each to his work.

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

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

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

rsv@Nehemiah:5:6 @ I was very angry when I heard their outcry and these words.

rsv@Nehemiah:5:7 @ I took counsel with myself, and I brought charges against the nobles and the officials. I said to them, "You are exacting interest, each from his brother." And I held a great assembly against them,

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

rsv@Nehemiah:5:12 @ Then they said, "We will restore these and require nothing from them. We will do as you say." And I called the priests, and took an oath of them to do as they had promised.

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

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

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

rsv@Nehemiah:6:1 @ Now when it was reported to Sanbal'lat and Tobi'ah and to Geshem the Arab and to the rest of our enemies that I had built the wall and that there was no breach left in it (although up to that time I had not set up the doors in the gates),

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

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

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

rsv@Nehemiah:6:11 @ But I said, "Should such a man as I flee? And what man such as I could go into the temple and live? I will not go in."

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

rsv@Nehemiah:6:15 @ So the wall was finished on the twenty-fifth day of the month Elul, in fifty-two days.

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

rsv@Nehemiah:7:2 @ I gave my brother Hana'ni and Hanani'ah the governor of the castle charge over Jerusalem, for he was a more faithful and God-fearing man than many.

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

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

rsv@Nehemiah:7:22 @ The sons of Hashum, three hundred and twenty-eight.

rsv@Nehemiah:7:31 @ The men of Michmas, a hundred and twenty-two.

rsv@Nehemiah:7:69 @ their camels four hundred and thirty-five, and their asses six thousand seven hundred and twenty.

rsv@Nehemiah:7:70 @ Now some of the heads of fathers' houses gave to the work. The governor gave to the treasury a thousand darics of gold, fifty basins, five hundred and thirty priests' garments.

rsv@Nehemiah:7:71 @ And some of the heads of fathers' houses gave into the treasury of the work twenty thousand darics of gold and two thousand two hundred minas of silver.

rsv@Nehemiah:7:72 @ And what the rest of the people gave was twenty thousand darics of gold, two thousand minas of silver, and sixty-seven priests' garments.

rsv@Nehemiah:8:1 @ And all the people gathered as one man into the square before the Water Gate; and they told Ezra the scribe to bring the book of the law of Moses which the LORD had given to Israel.

rsv@Nehemiah:8:2 @ And Ezra the priest brought the law before the assembly, both men and women and all who could hear with understanding, on the first day of the seventh month.

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

rsv@Nehemiah:8:14 @ And they found it written in the law that the LORD had commanded by Moses that the people of Israel should dwell in booths during the feast of the seventh month,

rsv@Nehemiah:8:15 @ and that they should publish and proclaim in all their towns and in Jerusalem, "Go out to the hills and bring branches of olive, wild olive, myrtle, palm, and other leafy trees to make booths, as it is written."

rsv@Nehemiah:8:17 @ And all the assembly of those who had returned from the captivity made booths and dwelt in the booths; for from the days of Jeshua the son of Nun to that day the people of Israel had not done so. And there was very great rejoicing.

rsv@Nehemiah:8:18 @ And day by day, from the first day to the last day, he read from the book of the law of God. They kept the feast seven days; and on the eighth day there was a solemn assembly, according to the ordinance.

rsv@Esther:1:8 @ And drinking was according to the law, no one was compelled; for the king had given orders to all the officials of his palace to do as every man desired.

rsv@Esther:1:9 @ Queen Vashti also gave a banquet for the women in the palace which belonged to King Ahasu-e'rus.

rsv@Esther:1:10 @ On the seventh day, when the heart of the king was merry with wine, he commanded Mehu'man, Biztha, Harbo'na, Bigtha and Abag'tha, Zethar and Carkas, the seven eunuchs who served King Ahasu-e'rus as chamberlains,

rsv@Esther:1:17 @ For this deed of the queen will be made known to all women, causing them to look with contempt upon their husbands, since they will say, `King Ahasu-e'rus commanded Queen Vashti to be brought before him, and she did not come.'

rsv@Esther:1:20 @ So when the decree made by the king is proclaimed throughout all his kingdom, vast as it is, all women will give honor to their husbands, high and low."

rsv@Esther:1:21 @ This advice pleased the king and the princes, and the king did as Memu'can proposed;

rsv@Esther:2:1 @ After these things, when the anger of King Ahasu-e'rus had abated, he remembered Vashti and what she had done and what had been decreed against her.

rsv@Esther:2:4 @ And let the maiden who pleases the king be queen instead of Vashti." This pleased the king, and he did so.

rsv@Esther:2:7 @ He had brought up Hadas'sah, that is Esther, the daughter of his uncle, for she had neither father nor mother; the maiden was beautiful and lovely, and when her father and her mother died, Mor'decai adopted her as his own daughter.

rsv@Esther:2:8 @ So when the king's order and his edict were proclaimed, and when many maidens were gathered in Susa the capital in custody of Hegai, Esther also was taken into the king's palace and put in custody of Hegai who had charge of the women.

rsv@Esther:2:15 @ When the turn came for Esther the daughter of Ab'ihail the uncle of Mor'decai, who had adopted her as his own daughter, to go in to the king, she asked for nothing except what Hegai the king's eunuch, who had charge of the women, advised.

rsv@Esther:2:17 @ the king loved Esther more than all the women, and she found grace and favor in his sight more than all the virgins, so that he set the royal crown on her head and made her queen instead of Vashti.

rsv@Esther:2:18 @ Then the king gave a great banquet to all his princes and servants; it was Esther's banquet. He also granted a remission of taxes to the provinces, and gave gifts with royal liberality.

rsv@Esther:2:19 @ When the virgins were gathered together the second time, Mor'decai was sitting at the king's gate.

rsv@Esther:2:20 @ Now Esther had not made known her kindred or her people, as Mor'decai had charged her; for Esther obeyed Mor'decai just as when she was brought up by him.

rsv@Esther:2:21 @ And in those days, as Mor'decai was sitting at the king's gate, Bigthan and Teresh, two of the king's eunuchs, who guarded the threshold, became angry and sought to lay hands on King Ahasu-e'rus.

rsv@Esther:2:23 @ When the affair was investigated and found to be so, the men were both hanged on the gallows. And it was recorded in the Book of the Chronicles in the presence of the king.

rsv@Esther:3:4 @ And when they spoke to him day after day and he would not listen to them, they told Haman, in order to see whether Mor'decai's words would avail; for he had told them that he was a Jew.

rsv@Esther:3:5 @ And when Haman saw that Mor'decai did not bow down or do obeisance to him, Haman was filled with fury.

rsv@Esther:3:6 @ But he disdained to lay hands on Mor'decai alone. So, as they had made known to him the people of Mor'decai, Haman sought to destroy all the Jews, the people of Mor'decai, throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasu-e'rus.

rsv@Esther:3:7 @ In the first month, which is the month of Nisan, in the twelfth year of King Ahasu-e'rus, they cast Pur, that is the lot, before Haman day after day; and they cast it month after month till the twelfth month, which is the month of Adar.

rsv@Esther:3:8 @ Then Haman said to King Ahasu-e'rus, "There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the peoples in all the provinces of your kingdom; their laws are different from those of every other people, and they do not keep the king's laws, so that it is not for the king's profit to tolerate them.

rsv@Esther:3:9 @ If it please the king, let it be decreed that they be destroyed, and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver into the hands of those who have charge of the king's business, that they may put it into the king's treasuries."

rsv@Esther:3:11 @ And the king said to Haman, "The money is given to you, the people also, to do with them as it seems good to you."

rsv@Esther:3:12 @ Then the king's secretaries were summoned on the thirteenth day of the first month, and an edict, according to all that Haman commanded, was written to the king's satraps and to the governors over all the provinces and to the princes of all the peoples, to every province in its own script and every people in its own language; it was written in the name of King Ahasu-e'rus and sealed with the king's ring.

rsv@Esther:3:15 @ The couriers went in haste by order of the king, and the decree was issued in Susa the capital. And the king and Haman sat down to drink; but the city of Susa was perplexed.

rsv@Esther:4:1 @ When Mor'decai learned all that had been done, Mor'decai rent his clothes and put on sackcloth and ashes, and went out into the midst of the city, wailing with a loud and bitter cry;

rsv@Esther:4:3 @ And in every province, wherever the king's command and his decree came, there was great mourning among the Jews, with fasting and weeping and lamenting, and most of them lay in sackcloth and ashes.

rsv@Esther:4:4 @ When Esther's maids and her eunuchs came and told her, the queen was deeply distressed; she sent garments to clothe Mor'decai, so that he might take off his sackcloth, but he would not accept them.

rsv@Esther:4:5 @ Then Esther called for Hathach, one of the king's eunuchs, who had been appointed to attend her, and ordered him to go to Mor'decai to learn what this was and why it was.

rsv@Esther:4:7 @ and Mor'decai told him all that had happened to him, and the exact sum of money that Haman had promised to pay into the king's treasuries for the destruction of the Jews.

rsv@Esther:4:14 @ For if you keep silence at such a time as this, relief and deliverance will rise for the Jews from another quarter, but you and your father's house will perish. And who knows whether you have not come to the kingdom for such a time as this?"

rsv@Esther:4:16 @ "Go, gather all the Jews to be found in Susa, and hold a fast on my behalf, and neither eat nor drink for three days, night or day. I and my maids will also fast as you do. Then I will go to the king, though it is against the law; and if I perish, I perish."

rsv@Esther:4:17 @ Mor'decai then went away and did everything as Esther had ordered him.

rsv@Esther:5:1 @ On the third day Esther put on her royal robes and stood in the inner court of the king's palace, opposite the king's hall. The king was sitting on his royal throne inside the palace opposite the entrance to the palace;

rsv@Esther:5:2 @ and when the king saw Queen Esther standing in the court, she found favor in his sight and he held out to Esther the golden scepter that was in his hand. Then Esther approached and touched the top of the scepter.

rsv@Esther:5:4 @ And Esther said, "If it please the king, let the king and Haman come this day to a dinner that I have prepared for the king."

rsv@Esther:5:5 @ Then said the king, "Bring Haman quickly, that we may do as Esther desires." So the king and Haman came to the dinner that Esther had prepared.

rsv@Esther:5:6 @ And as they were drinking wine, the king said to Esther, "What is your petition? It shall be granted you. And what is your request? Even to the half of my kingdom, it shall be fulfilled."

rsv@Esther:5:8 @ If I have found favor in the sight of the king, and if it please the king to grant my petition and fulfil my request, let the king and Haman come tomorrow to the dinner which I will prepare for them, and tomorrow I will do as the king has said."

rsv@Esther:5:9 @ And Haman went out that day joyful and glad of heart. But when Haman saw Mor'decai in the king's gate, that he neither rose nor trembled before him, he was filled with wrath against Mor'decai.

rsv@Esther:5:13 @ Yet all this does me no good, so long as I see Mor'decai the Jew sitting at the king's gate."

rsv@Esther:5:14 @ Then his wife Zeresh and all his friends said to him, "Let a gallows fifty cubits high be made, and in the morning tell the king to have Mor'decai hanged upon it; then go merrily with the king to the dinner." This counsel pleased Haman, and he had the gallows made.

rsv@Esther:6:2 @ And it was found written how Mor'decai had told about Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's eunuchs, who guarded the threshold, and who had sought to lay hands upon King Ahasu-e'rus.

rsv@Esther:6:3 @ And the king said, "What honor or dignity has been bestowed on Mor'decai for this?" The king's servants who attended him said, "Nothing has been done for him."

rsv@Esther:6:8 @ let royal robes be brought, which the king has worn, and the horse which the king has ridden, and on whose head a royal crown is set;

rsv@Esther:6:10 @ Then the king said to Haman, "Make haste, take the robes and the horse, as you have said, and do so to Mor'decai the Jew who sits at the king's gate. Leave out nothing that you have mentioned."

rsv@Esther:6:14 @ While they were yet talking with him, the king's eunuchs arrived and brought Haman in haste to the banquet that Esther had prepared.

rsv@Esther:7:1 @ So the king and Haman went in to feast with Queen Esther.

rsv@Esther:7:2 @ And on the second day, as they were drinking wine, the king again said to Esther, "What is your petition, Queen Esther? It shall be granted you. And what is your request? Even to the half of my kingdom, it shall be fulfilled."

rsv@Esther:7:3 @ Then Queen Esther answered, "If I have found favor in your sight, O king, and if it please the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request.

rsv@Esther:7:4 @ For we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to be annihilated. If we had been sold merely as slaves, men and women, I would have held my peace; for our affliction is not to be compared with the loss to the king."

rsv@Esther:7:5 @ Then King Ahasu-e'rus said to Queen Esther, "Who is he, and where is he, that would presume to do this?"

rsv@Esther:7:6 @ And Esther said, "A foe and enemy! This wicked Haman!" Then Haman was in terror before the king and the queen.

rsv@Esther:7:7 @ And the king rose from the feast in wrath and went into the palace garden; but Haman stayed to beg his life from Queen Esther, for he saw that evil was determined against him by the king.

rsv@Esther:7:9 @ Then said Harbo'na, one of the eunuchs in attendance on the king, "Moreover, the gallows which Haman has prepared for Mor'decai, whose word saved the king, is standing in Haman's house, fifty cubits high."

rsv@Esther:8:7 @ Then King Ahasu-e'rus said to Queen Esther and to Mor'decai the Jew, "Behold, I have given Esther the house of Haman, and they have hanged him on the gallows, because he would lay hands on the Jews.

rsv@Esther:8:8 @ And you may write as you please with regard to the Jews, in the name of the king, and seal it with the king's ring; for an edict written in the name of the king and sealed with the king's ring cannot be revoked."

rsv@Esther:8:9 @ The king's secretaries were summoned at that time, in the third month, which is the month of Sivan, on the twenty-third day; and an edict was written according to all that Mor'decai commanded concerning the Jews to the satraps and the governors and the princes of the provinces from India to Ethiopia, a hundred and twenty-seven provinces, to every province in its own script and to every people in its own language, and also to the Jews in their script and their language.

rsv@Esther:9:17 @ This was on the thirteenth day of the month of Adar, and on the fourteenth day they rested and made that a day of feasting and gladness.

rsv@Esther:9:18 @ But the Jews who were in Susa gathered on the thirteenth day and on the fourteenth, and rested on the fifteenth day, making that a day of feasting and gladness.

rsv@Esther:9:19 @ Therefore the Jews of the villages, who live in the open towns, hold the fourteenth day of the month of Adar as a day for gladness and feasting and holiday-making, and a day on which they send choice portions to one another.

rsv@Esther:9:20 @ And Mor'decai recorded these things, and sent letters to all the Jews who were in all the provinces of King Ahasu-e'rus, both near and far,

rsv@Ecclesiastes:1:1 @ The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:1:2 @ Vanity of vanities, says the Preacher, vanity of vanities! All is vanity.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:1:3 @ What does man gain by all the toil at which he toils under the sun?

rsv@Ecclesiastes:1:4 @ A generation goes, and a generation comes, but the earth remains for ever.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:1:5 @ The sun rises and the sun goes down, and hastens to the place where it rises.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:1:9 @ What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done; and there is nothing new under the sun.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:1:10 @ Is there a thing of which it is said, "See, this is new"? It has been already, in the ages before us.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:1:11 @ There is no remembrance of former things, nor will there be any remembrance of later things yet to happen among those who come after.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:1:12 @ I the Preacher have been king over Israel in Jerusalem.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:1:13 @ And I applied my mind to seek and to search out by wisdom all that is done under heaven; it is an unhappy business that God has given to the sons of men to be busy with.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:1:14 @ I have seen everything that is done under the sun; and behold, all is vanity and a striving after wind.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:1:15 @ What is crooked cannot be made straight, and what is lacking cannot be numbered.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:1:16 @ I said to myself, "I have acquired great wisdom, surpassing all who were over Jerusalem before me; and my mind has had great experience of wisdom and knowledge."

rsv@Ecclesiastes:1:17 @ And I applied my mind to know wisdom and to know madness and folly. I perceived that this also is but a striving after wind.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:1:18 @ For in much wisdom is much vexation, and he who increases knowledge increases sorrow.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:2:1 @ I said to myself, "Come now, I will make a test of pleasure; enjoy yourself." But behold, this also was vanity.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:2:2 @ I said of laughter, "It is mad," and of pleasure, "What use is it?"

rsv@Ecclesiastes:2:3 @ I searched with my mind how to cheer my body with wine--my mind still guiding me with wisdom--and how to lay hold on folly, till I might see what was good for the sons of men to do under heaven during the few days of their life.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:2:4 @ I made great works; I built houses and planted vineyards for myself;

rsv@Ecclesiastes:2:5 @ I made myself gardens and parks, and planted in them all kinds of fruit trees.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:2:6 @ I made myself pools from which to water the forest of growing trees.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:2:7 @ I bought male and female slaves, and had slaves who were born in my house; I had also great possessions of herds and flocks, more than any who had been before me in Jerusalem.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:2:8 @ I also gathered for myself silver and gold and the treasure of kings and provinces; I got singers, both men and women, and many concubines, man's delight.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:2:9 @ So I became great and surpassed all who were before me in Jerusalem; also my wisdom remained with me.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:2:10 @ And whatever my eyes desired I did not keep from them; I kept my heart from no pleasure, for my heart found pleasure in all my toil, and this was my reward for all my toil.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:2:11 @ Then I considered all that my hands had done and the toil I had spent in doing it, and behold, all was vanity and a striving after wind, and there was nothing to be gained under the sun.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:2:12 @ So I turned to consider wisdom and madness and folly; for what can the man do who comes after the king? Only what he has already done.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:2:13 @ Then I saw that wisdom excels folly as light excels darkness.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:2:14 @ The wise man has his eyes in his head, but the fool walks in darkness; and yet I perceived that one fate comes to all of them.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:2:15 @ Then I said to myself, "What befalls the fool will befall me also; why then have I been so very wise?" And I said to myself that this also is vanity.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:2:16 @ For of the wise man as of the fool there is no enduring remembrance, seeing that in the days to come all will have been long forgotten. How the wise man dies just like the fool!

rsv@Ecclesiastes:2:17 @ So I hated life, because what is done under the sun was grievous to me; for all is vanity and a striving after wind.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:2:18 @ I hated all my toil in which I had toiled under the sun, seeing that I must leave it to the man who will come after me;

rsv@Ecclesiastes:2:19 @ and who knows whether he will be a wise man or a fool? Yet he will be master of all for which I toiled and used my wisdom under the sun. This also is vanity.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:2:20 @ So I turned about and gave my heart up to despair over all the toil of my labors under the sun,

rsv@Ecclesiastes:2:21 @ because sometimes a man who has toiled with wisdom and knowledge and skill must leave all to be enjoyed by a man who did not toil for it. This also is vanity and a great evil.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:2:22 @ What has a man from all the toil and strain with which he toils beneath the sun?

rsv@Ecclesiastes:2:23 @ For all his days are full of pain, and his work is a vexation; even in the night his mind does not rest. This also is vanity.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:2:24 @ There is nothing better for a man than that he should eat and drink, and find enjoyment in his toil. This also, I saw, is from the hand of God;

rsv@Ecclesiastes:2:25 @ for apart from him who can eat or who can have enjoyment?

rsv@Ecclesiastes:2:26 @ For to the man who pleases him God gives wisdom and knowledge and joy; but to the sinner he gives the work of gathering and heaping, only to give to one who pleases God. This also is vanity and a striving after wind.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:3:1 @ For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:

rsv@Ecclesiastes:3:2 @ a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;

rsv@Ecclesiastes:3:3 @ a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;

rsv@Ecclesiastes:3:4 @ a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;

rsv@Ecclesiastes:3:5 @ a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

rsv@Ecclesiastes:3:6 @ a time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;

rsv@Ecclesiastes:3:7 @ a time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

rsv@Ecclesiastes:3:8 @ a time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:3:9 @ What gain has the worker from his toil?

rsv@Ecclesiastes:3:10 @ I have seen the business that God has given to the sons of men to be busy with.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:3:11 @ He has made everything beautiful in its time; also he has put eternity into man's mind, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:3:12 @ I know that there is nothing better for them than to be happy and enjoy themselves as long as they live;

rsv@Ecclesiastes:3:13 @ also that it is God's gift to man that every one should eat and drink and take pleasure in all his toil.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:3:14 @ I know that whatever God does endures for ever; nothing can be added to it, nor anything taken from it; God has made it so, in order that men should fear before him.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:3:15 @ That which is, already has been; that which is to be, already has been; and God seeks what has been driven away.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:3:16 @ Moreover I saw under the sun that in the place of justice, even there was wickedness, and in the place of righteousness, even there was wickedness.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:3:17 @ I said in my heart, God will judge the righteous and the wicked, for he has appointed a time for every matter, and for every work.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:3:18 @ I said in my heart with regard to the sons of men that God is testing them to show them that they are but beasts.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:3:19 @ For the fate of the sons of men and the fate of beasts is the same; as one dies, so dies the other. They all have the same breath, and man has no advantage over the beasts; for all is vanity.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:3:20 @ All go to one place; all are from the dust, and all turn to dust again.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:3:21 @ Who knows whether the spirit of man goes upward and the spirit of the beast goes down to the earth?

rsv@Ecclesiastes:3:22 @ So I saw that there is nothing better than that a man should enjoy his work, for that is his lot; who can bring him to see what will be after him?

rsv@Ecclesiastes:4:1 @ Again I saw all the oppressions that are practiced under the sun. And behold, the tears of the oppressed, and they had no one to comfort them! On the side of their oppressors there was power, and there was no one to comfort them.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:4:2 @ And I thought the dead who are already dead more fortunate than the living who are still alive;

rsv@Ecclesiastes:4:3 @ but better than both is he who has not yet been, and has not seen the evil deeds that are done under the sun.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:4:4 @ Then I saw that all toil and all skill in work come from a man's envy of his neighbor. This also is vanity and a striving after wind.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:4:5 @ The fool folds his hands, and eats his own flesh.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:4:6 @ Better is a handful of quietness than two hands full of toil and a striving after wind.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:4:7 @ Again, I saw vanity under the sun:

rsv@Ecclesiastes:4:8 @ a person who has no one, either son or brother, yet there is no end to all his toil, and his eyes are never satisfied with riches, so that he never asks, "For whom am I toiling and depriving myself of pleasure?" This also is vanity and an unhappy business.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:4:9 @ Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:4:10 @ For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:4:11 @ Again, if two lie together, they are warm; but how can one be warm alone?

rsv@Ecclesiastes:4:12 @ And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him. A threefold cord is not quickly broken.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:4:13 @ Better is a poor and wise youth than an old and foolish king, who will no longer take advice,

rsv@Ecclesiastes:4:14 @ even though he had gone from prison to the throne or in his own kingdom had been born poor.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:4:15 @ I saw all the living who move about under the sun, as well as that youth, who was to stand in his place;

rsv@Ecclesiastes:4:16 @ there was no end of all the people; he was over all of them. Yet those who come later will not rejoice in him. Surely this also is vanity and a striving after wind.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:5:1 @ Guard your steps when you go to the house of God; to draw near to listen is better than to offer the sacrifice of fools; for they do not know that they are doing evil.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:5:2 @ Be not rash with your mouth, nor let your heart be hasty to utter a word before God, for God is in heaven, and you upon earth; therefore let your words be few.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:5:3 @ For a dream comes with much business, and a fool's voice with many words.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:5:4 @ When you vow a vow to God, do not delay paying it; for he has no pleasure in fools. Pay what you vow.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:5:5 @ It is better that you should not vow than that you should vow and not pay.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:5:6 @ Let not your mouth lead you into sin, and do not say before the messenger that it was a mistake; why should God be angry at your voice, and destroy the work of your hands?

rsv@Ecclesiastes:5:7 @ For when dreams increase, empty words grow many: but do you fear God.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:5:8 @ If you see in a province the poor oppressed and justice and right violently taken away, do not be amazed at the matter; for the high official is watched by a higher, and there are yet higher ones over them.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:5:9 @ But in all, a king is an advantage to a land with cultivated fields.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:5:10 @ He who loves money will not be satisfied with money; nor he who loves wealth, with gain: this also is vanity.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:5:11 @ When goods increase, they increase who eat them; and what gain has their owner but to see them with his eyes?

rsv@Ecclesiastes:5:12 @ Sweet is the sleep of a laborer, whether he eats little or much; but the surfeit of the rich will not let him sleep.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:5:13 @ There is a grievous evil which I have seen under the sun: riches were kept by their owner to his hurt,

rsv@Ecclesiastes:5:14 @ and those riches were lost in a bad venture; and he is father of a son, but he has nothing in his hand.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:5:15 @ As he came from his mother's womb he shall go again, naked as he came, and shall take nothing for his toil, which he may carry away in his hand.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:5:16 @ This also is a grievous evil: just as he came, so shall he go; and what gain has he that he toiled for the wind,

rsv@Ecclesiastes:5:17 @ and spent all his days in darkness and grief, in much vexation and sickness and resentment?

rsv@Ecclesiastes:5:18 @ Behold, what I have seen to be good and to be fitting is to eat and drink and find enjoyment in all the toil with which one toils under the sun the few days of his life which God has given him, for this is his lot.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:5:19 @ Every man also to whom God has given wealth and possessions and power to enjoy them, and to accept his lot and find enjoyment in his toil--this is the gift of God.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:5:20 @ For he will not much remember the days of his life because God keeps him occupied with joy in his heart.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:6:1 @ There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it lies heavy upon men:

rsv@Ecclesiastes:6:2 @ a man to whom God gives wealth, possessions, and honor, so that he lacks nothing of all that he desires, yet God does not give him power to enjoy them, but a stranger enjoys them; this is vanity; it is a sore affliction.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:6:3 @ If a man begets a hundred children, and lives many years, so that the days of his years are many, but he does not enjoy life's good things, and also has no burial, I say that an untimely birth is better off than he.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:6:4 @ For it comes into vanity and goes into darkness, and in darkness its name is covered;

rsv@Ecclesiastes:6:5 @ moreover it has not seen the sun or known anything; yet it finds rest rather than he.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:6:6 @ Even though he should live a thousand years twice told, yet enjoy no good--do not all go to the one place?

rsv@Ecclesiastes:6:7 @ All the toil of man is for his mouth, yet his appetite is not satisfied.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:6:8 @ For what advantage has the wise man over the fool? And what does the poor man have who knows how to conduct himself before the living?

rsv@Ecclesiastes:6:9 @ Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of desire; this also is vanity and a striving after wind.

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

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

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

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

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:2 @ It is better to go to the house of mourning than to go to the house of feasting; for this is the end of all men, and the living will lay it to heart.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:3 @ Sorrow is better than laughter, for by sadness of countenance the heart is made glad.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:4 @ The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:5 @ It is better for a man to hear the rebuke of the wise than to hear the song of fools.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:6 @ For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fools; this also is vanity.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:7 @ Surely oppression makes the wise man foolish, and a bribe corrupts the mind.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:8 @ Better is the end of a thing than its beginning; and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:9 @ Be not quick to anger, for anger lodges in the bosom of fools.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:10 @ Say not, "Why were the former days better than these?" For it is not from wisdom that you ask this.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:11 @ Wisdom is good with an inheritance, an advantage to those who see the sun.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:12 @ For the protection of wisdom is like the protection of money; and the advantage of knowledge is that wisdom preserves the life of him who has it.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:13 @ Consider the work of God; who can make straight what he has made crooked?

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:14 @ In the day of prosperity be joyful, and in the day of adversity consider; God has made the one as well as the other, so that man may not find out anything that will be after him.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:15 @ In my vain life I have seen everything; there is a righteous man who perishes in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man who prolongs his life in his evil-doing.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:16 @ Be not righteous overmuch, and do not make yourself overwise; why should you destroy yourself?

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:17 @ Be not wicked overmuch, neither be a fool; why should you die before your time?

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:18 @ It is good that you should take hold of this, and from that withhold not your hand; for he who fears God shall come forth from them all.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:19 @ Wisdom gives strength to the wise man more than ten rulers that are in a city.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:20 @ Surely there is not a righteous man on earth who does good and never sins.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:21 @ Do not give heed to all the things that men say, lest you hear your servant cursing you;

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:22 @ your heart knows that many times you have yourself cursed others.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:23 @ All this I have tested by wisdom; I said, "I will be wise"; but it was far from me.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:24 @ That which is, is far off, and deep, very deep; who can find it out?

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:25 @ I turned my mind to know and to search out and to seek wisdom and the sum of things, and to know the wickedness of folly and the foolishness which is madness.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:26 @ And I found more bitter than death the woman whose heart is snares and nets, and whose hands are fetters; he who pleases God escapes her, but the sinner is taken by her.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:27 @ Behold, this is what I found, says the Preacher, adding one thing to another to find the sum,

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:28 @ which my mind has sought repeatedly, but I have not found. One man among a thousand I found, but a woman among all these I have not found.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:29 @ Behold, this alone I found, that God made man upright, but they have sought out many devices.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:8:1 @ Who is like the wise man? And who knows the interpretation of a thing? A man's wisdom makes his face shine, and the hardness of his countenance is changed.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:8:2 @ Keep the king's command, and because of your sacred oath be not dismayed;

rsv@Ecclesiastes:8:3 @ go from his presence, do not delay when the matter is unpleasant, for he does whatever he pleases.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:8:4 @ For the word of the king is supreme, and who may say to him, "What are you doing?"

rsv@Ecclesiastes:8:5 @ He who obeys a command will meet no harm, and the mind of a wise man will know the time and way.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:8:6 @ For every matter has its time and way, although man's trouble lies heavy upon him.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:8:7 @ For he does not know what is to be, for who can tell him how it will be?

rsv@Ecclesiastes:8:8 @ No man has power to retain the spirit, or authority over the day of death; there is no discharge from war, nor will wickedness deliver those who are given to it.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:8:9 @ All this I observed while applying my mind to all that is done under the sun, while man lords it over man to his hurt.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:8:10 @ Then I saw the wicked buried; they used to go in and out of the holy place, and were praised in the city where they had done such things. This also is vanity.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:8:11 @ Because sentence against an evil deed is not executed speedily, the heart of the sons of men is fully set to do evil.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:8:12 @ Though a sinner does evil a hundred times and prolongs his life, yet I know that it will be well with those who fear God, because they fear before him;

rsv@Ecclesiastes:8:13 @ but it will not be well with the wicked, neither will he prolong his days like a shadow, because he does not fear before God.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:8:14 @ There is a vanity which takes place on earth, that there are righteous men to whom it happens according to the deeds of the wicked, and there are wicked men to whom it happens according to the deeds of the righteous. I said that this also is vanity.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:8:15 @ And I commend enjoyment, for man has no good thing under the sun but to eat and drink, and enjoy himself, for this will go with him in his toil through the days of life which God gives him under the sun.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:8:16 @ When I applied my mind to know wisdom, and to see the business that is done on earth, how neither day nor night one's eyes see sleep;

rsv@Ecclesiastes:8:17 @ then I saw all the work of God, that man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun. However much man may toil in seeking, he will not find it out; even though a wise man claims to know, he cannot find it out.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:9:1 @ But all this I laid to heart, examining it all, how the righteous and the wise and their deeds are in the hand of God; whether it is love or hate man does not know. Everything before them is vanity,

rsv@Ecclesiastes:9:2 @ since one fate comes to all, to the righteous and the wicked, to the good and the evil, to the clean and the unclean, to him who sacrifices and him who does not sacrifice. As is the good man, so is the sinner; and he who swears is as he who shuns an oath.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:9:3 @ This is an evil in all that is done under the sun, that one fate comes to all; also the hearts of men are full of evil, and madness is in their hearts while they live, and after that they go to the dead.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:9:4 @ But he who is joined with all the living has hope, for a living dog is better than a dead lion.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:9:5 @ For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing, and they have no more reward; but the memory of them is lost.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:9:6 @ Their love and their hate and their envy have already perished, and they have no more for ever any share in all that is done under the sun.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:9:7 @ Go, eat your bread with enjoyment, and drink your wine with a merry heart; for God has already approved what you do.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:9:8 @ Let your garments be always white; let not oil be lacking on your head.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:9:9 @ Enjoy life with the wife whom you love, all the days of your vain life which he has given you under the sun, because that is your portion in life and in your toil at which you toil under the sun.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:9:10 @ Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work or thought or knowledge or wisdom in Sheol, to which you are going.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:9:11 @ Again I saw that under the sun the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, nor bread to the wise, nor riches to the intelligent, nor favor to the men of skill; but time and chance happen to them all.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:9:12 @ For man does not know his time. Like fish which are taken in an evil net, and like birds which are caught in a snare, so the sons of men are snared at an evil time, when it suddenly falls upon them.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:9:13 @ I have also seen this example of wisdom under the sun, and it seemed great to me.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:9:14 @ There was a little city with few men in it; and a great king came against it and besieged it, building great siegeworks against it.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:9:15 @ But there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city. Yet no one remembered that poor man.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:9:16 @ But I say that wisdom is better than might, though the poor man's wisdom is despised, and his words are not heeded.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:9:17 @ The words of the wise heard in quiet are better than the shouting of a ruler among fools.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:9:18 @ Wisdom is better than weapons of war, but one sinner destroys much good.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:10:1 @ Dead flies make the perfumer's ointment give off an evil odor; so a little folly outweighs wisdom and honor.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:10:2 @ A wise man's heart inclines him toward the right, but a fool's heart toward the left.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:10:3 @ Even when the fool walks on the road, he lacks sense, and he says to every one that he is a fool.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:10:4 @ If the anger of the ruler rises against you, do not leave your place, for deference will make amends for great offenses.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:10:5 @ There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, as it were an error proceeding from the ruler:

rsv@Ecclesiastes:10:6 @ folly is set in many high places, and the rich sit in a low place.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:10:7 @ I have seen slaves on horses, and princes walking on foot like slaves.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:10:8 @ He who digs a pit will fall into it; and a serpent will bite him who breaks through a wall.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:10:9 @ He who quarries stones is hurt by them; and he who splits logs is endangered by them.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:10:10 @ If the iron is blunt, and one does not whet the edge, he must put forth more strength; but wisdom helps one to succeed.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:10:11 @ If the serpent bites before it is charmed, there is no advantage in a charmer.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:10:12 @ The words of a wise man's mouth win him favor, but the lips of a fool consume him.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:10:13 @ The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness, and the end of his talk is wicked madness.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:10:14 @ A fool multiplies words, though no man knows what is to be, and who can tell him what will be after him?

rsv@Ecclesiastes:10:15 @ The toil of a fool wearies him, so that he does not know the way to the city.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:10:16 @ Woe to you, O land, when your king is a child, and your princes feast in the morning!

rsv@Ecclesiastes:10:17 @ Happy are you, O land, when your king is the son of free men, and your princes feast at the proper time, for strength, and not for drunkenness!

rsv@Ecclesiastes:10:18 @ Through sloth the roof sinks in, and through indolence the house leaks.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:10:19 @ Bread is made for laughter, and wine gladdens life, and money answers everything.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:10:20 @ Even in your thought, do not curse the king, nor in your bedchamber curse the rich; for a bird of the air will carry your voice, or some winged creature tell the matter.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:11:1 @ Cast your bread upon the waters, for you will find it after many days.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:11:2 @ Give a portion to seven, or even to eight, for you know not what evil may happen on earth.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:11:3 @ If the clouds are full of rain, they empty themselves on the earth; and if a tree falls to the south or to the north, in the place where the tree falls, there it will lie.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:11:4 @ He who observes the wind will not sow; and he who regards the clouds will not reap.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:11:5 @ As you do not know how the spirit comes to the bones in the womb of a woman with child, so you do not know the work of God who makes everything.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:11:6 @ In the morning sow your seed, and at evening withhold not your hand; for you do not know which will prosper, this or that, or whether both alike will be good.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:11:7 @ Light is sweet, and it is pleasant for the eyes to behold the sun.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:11:8 @ For if a man lives many years, let him rejoice in them all; but let him remember that the days of darkness will be many. All that comes is vanity.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:11:9 @ Rejoice, O young man, in your youth, and let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth; walk in the ways of your heart and the sight of your eyes. But know that for all these things God will bring you into judgment.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:11:10 @ Remove vexation from your mind, and put away pain from your body; for youth and the dawn of life are vanity.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:12:1 @ Remember also your Creator in the days of your youth, before the evil days come, and the years draw nigh, when you will say, "I have no pleasure in them";

rsv@Ecclesiastes:12:2 @ before the sun and the light and the moon and the stars are darkened and the clouds return after the rain;

rsv@Ecclesiastes:12:3 @ in the day when the keepers of the house tremble, and the strong men are bent, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look through the windows are dimmed,

rsv@Ecclesiastes:12:4 @ and the doors on the street are shut; when the sound of the grinding is low, and one rises up at the voice of a bird, and all the daughters of song are brought low;

rsv@Ecclesiastes:12:5 @ they are afraid also of what is high, and terrors are in the way; the almond tree blossoms, the grasshopper drags itself along and desire fails; because man goes to his eternal home, and the mourners go about the streets;

rsv@Ecclesiastes:12:6 @ before the silver cord is snapped, or the golden bowl is broken, or the pitcher is broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern,

rsv@Ecclesiastes:12:7 @ and the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:12:8 @ Vanity of vanities, says the Preacher; all is vanity.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:12:9 @ Besides being wise, the Preacher also taught the people knowledge, weighing and studying and arranging proverbs with great care.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:12:10 @ The Preacher sought to find pleasing words, and uprightly he wrote words of truth.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:12:11 @ The sayings of the wise are like goads, and like nails firmly fixed are the collected sayings which are given by one Shepherd.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:12:12 @ My son, beware of anything beyond these. Of making many books there is no end, and much study is a weariness of the flesh.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:12:13 @ The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God, and keep his commandments; for this is the whole duty of man.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:12:14 @ For God will bring every deed into judgment, with every secret thing, whether good or evil.

rsv@Songs:1:4 @ Draw me after you, let us make haste. The king has brought me into his chambers. We will exult and rejoice in you; we will extol your love more than wine; rightly do they love you.

rsv@Songs:1:6 @ Do not gaze at me because I am swarthy, because the sun has scorched me. My mother's sons were angry with me, they made me keeper of the vineyards; but, my own vineyard I have not kept!

rsv@Songs:1:7 @ Tell me, you whom my soul loves, where you pasture your flock, where you make it lie down at noon; for why should I be like one who wanders beside the flocks of your companions?

rsv@Songs:1:8 @ If you do not know, O fairest among women, follow in the tracks of the flock, and pasture your kids beside the shepherds' tents.

rsv@Songs:1:12 @ While the king was on his couch, my nard gave forth its fragrance.

rsv@Songs:1:13 @ My beloved is to me a bag of myrrh, that lies between my breasts.

rsv@Songs:2:2 @ As a lily among brambles, so is my love among maidens.

rsv@Songs:2:3 @ As an apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among young men. With great delight I sat in his shadow, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.

rsv@Songs:2:4 @ He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love.

rsv@Songs:2:7 @ I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, by the gazelles or the hinds of the field, that you stir not up nor awaken love until it please.

rsv@Songs:2:11 @ for lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone.

rsv@Songs:2:12 @ The flowers appear on the earth, the time of singing has come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land.

rsv@Songs:2:16 @ My beloved is mine and I am his, he pastures his flock among the lilies.

rsv@Songs:3:3 @ The watchmen found me, as they went about in the city. "Have you seen him whom my soul loves?"

rsv@Songs:3:4 @ Scarcely had I passed them, when I found him whom my soul loves. I held him, and would not let him go until I had brought him into my mother's house, and into the chamber of her that conceived me.

rsv@Songs:3:5 @ I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, by the gazelles or the hinds of the field, that you stir not up nor awaken love until it please.

rsv@Songs:3:10 @ He made its posts of silver, its back of gold, its seat of purple; it was lovingly wrought within by the daughters of Jerusalem.

rsv@Songs:4:2 @ Your teeth are like a flock of shorn ewes that have come up from the washing, all of which bear twins, and not one among them is bereaved.

rsv@Songs:4:5 @ Your two breasts are like two fawns, twins of a gazelle, that feed among the lilies.

rsv@Songs:5:2 @ I slept, but my heart was awake. Hark! my beloved is knocking. "Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my perfect one; for my head is wet with dew, my locks with the drops of the night."

rsv@Songs:5:4 @ My beloved put his hand to the latch, and my heart was thrilled within me.

rsv@Songs:5:7 @ The watchmen found me, as they went about in the city; they beat me, they wounded me, they took away my mantle, those watchmen of the walls.

rsv@Songs:5:11 @ His head is the finest gold; his locks are wavy, black as a raven.

rsv@Songs:5:15 @ His legs are alabaster columns, set upon bases of gold. His appearance is like Lebanon, choice as the cedars.

rsv@Songs:6:1 @ Whither has your beloved gone, O fairest among women? Whither has your beloved turned, that we may seek him with you?

rsv@Songs:6:2 @ My beloved has gone down to his garden, to the beds of spices, to pasture his flock in the gardens, and to gather lilies.

rsv@Songs:6:3 @ I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine; he pastures his flock among the lilies.

rsv@Songs:6:4 @ You are beautiful as Tirzah, my love, comely as Jerusalem, terrible as an army with banners.

rsv@Songs:6:6 @ Your teeth are like a flock of ewes, that have come up from the washing, all of them bear twins, not one among them is bereaved.

rsv@Songs:6:10 @ "Who is this that looks forth like the dawn, fair as the moon, bright as the sun, terrible as an army with banners?"

rsv@Songs:6:12 @ Before I was aware, my fancy set me in a chariot beside my prince.

rsv@Songs:6:13 @ Return, return, O Shu'lammite, return, return, that we may look upon you. Why should you look upon the Shu'lammite, as upon a dance before two armies?

rsv@Songs:7:1 @ How graceful are your feet in sandals, O queenly maiden! Your rounded thighs are like jewels, the work of a master hand.

rsv@Songs:7:3 @ Your two breasts are like two fawns, twins of a gazelle.

rsv@Songs:7:4 @ Your neck is like an ivory tower. Your eyes are pools in Heshbon, by the gate of Bath-rab'bim. Your nose is like a tower of Lebanon, overlooking Damascus.

rsv@Songs:7:6 @ How fair and pleasant you are, O loved one, delectable maiden!

rsv@Songs:7:7 @ You are stately as a palm tree, and your breasts are like its clusters.

rsv@Songs:7:8 @ I say I will climb the palm tree and lay hold of its branches. Oh, may your breasts be like clusters of the vine, and the scent of your breath like apples,

rsv@Songs:7:13 @ The mandrakes give forth fragrance, and over our doors are all choice fruits, new as well as old, which I have laid up for you, O my beloved.

rsv@Songs:8:1 @ O that you were like a brother to me, that nursed at my mother's breast! If I met you outside, I would kiss you, and none would despise me.

rsv@Songs:8:4 @ I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, that you stir not up nor awaken love until it please.

rsv@Songs:8:5 @ Who is that coming up from the wilderness, leaning upon her beloved? Under the apple tree I awakened you. There your mother was in travail with you, there she who bore you was in travail.

rsv@Songs:8:6 @ Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm; for love is strong as death, jealousy is cruel as the grave. Its flashes are flashes of fire, a most vehement flame.

rsv@Songs:8:8 @ We have a little sister, and she has no breasts. What shall we do for our sister, on the day when she is spoken for?

rsv@Songs:8:10 @ I was a wall, and my breasts were like towers; then I was in his eyes as one who brings peace.

rsv@Songs:8:11 @ Solomon had a vineyard at Ba'al-ha'mon; he let out the vineyard to keepers; each one was to bring for its fruit a thousand pieces of silver.

rsv@Songs:8:14 @ Make haste, my beloved, and be like a gazelle or a young stag upon the mountains of spices.

rsv@Isaiah:1:2 @ Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth; for the LORD has spoken: "Sons have I reared and brought up, but they have rebelled against me.

rsv@Isaiah:1:3 @ The ox knows its owner, and the ass its master's crib; but Israel does not know, my people does not understand."

rsv@Isaiah:1:7 @ Your country lies desolate, your cities are burned with fire; in your very presence aliens devour your land; it is desolate, as overthrown by aliens.

rsv@Isaiah:1:11 @ "What to me is the multitude of your sacrifices? says the LORD; I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams and the fat of fed beasts; I do not delight in the blood of bulls, or of lambs, or of he-goats.

rsv@Isaiah:1:13 @ Bring no more vain offerings; incense is an abomination to me. New moon and sabbath and the calling of assemblies-- I cannot endure iniquity and solemn assembly.

rsv@Isaiah:1:14 @ Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hates; they have become a burden to me, I am weary of bearing them.

rsv@Isaiah:1:16 @ Wash yourselves; make yourselves clean; remove the evil of your doings from before my eyes; cease to do evil,

rsv@Isaiah:1:18 @ "Come now, let us reason together, says the LORD: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool.

rsv@Isaiah:1:20 @ But if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured by the sword; for the mouth of the LORD has spoken."

rsv@Ezekiel:1:1 @ In the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, on the fifth day of the month, as I was among the exiles by the river Chebar, the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.

rsv@Ezekiel:1:2 @ On the fifth day of the month (it was the fifth year of the exile of King Jehoi'achin),

rsv@Ezekiel:1:3 @ the word of the LORD came to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chalde'ans by the river Chebar; and the hand of the LORD was upon him there.

rsv@Ezekiel:1:4 @ As I looked, behold, a stormy wind came out of the north, and a great cloud, with brightness round about it, and fire flashing forth continually, and in the midst of the fire, as it were gleaming bronze.

rsv@Ezekiel:1:5 @ And from the midst of it came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: they had the form of men,

rsv@Ezekiel:1:9 @ their wings touched one another; they went every one straight forward, without turning as they went.

rsv@Ezekiel:1:10 @ As for the likeness of their faces, each had the face of a man in front; the four had the face of a lion on the right side, the four had the face of an ox on the left side, and the four had the face of an eagle at the back.

rsv@Ezekiel:1:12 @ And each went straight forward; wherever the spirit would go, they went, without turning as they went.

rsv@Ezekiel:1:13 @ In the midst of the living creatures there was something that looked like burning coals of fire, like torches moving to and fro among the living creatures; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning.

rsv@Ezekiel:1:14 @ And the living creatures darted to and fro, like a flash of lightning.

rsv@Ezekiel:1:15 @ Now as I looked at the living creatures, I saw a wheel upon the earth beside the living creatures, one for each of the four of them.

rsv@Ezekiel:1:16 @ As for the appearance of the wheels and their construction: their appearance was like the gleaming of a chrysolite; and the four had the same likeness, their construction being as it were a wheel within a wheel.

rsv@Ezekiel:1:17 @ When they went, they went in any of their four directions without turning as they went.

rsv@Ezekiel:1:20 @ Wherever the spirit would go, they went, and the wheels rose along with them; for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.

rsv@Ezekiel:1:21 @ When those went, these went; and when those stood, these stood; and when those rose from the earth, the wheels rose along with them; for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.

rsv@Ezekiel:1:22 @ Over the heads of the living creatures there was the likeness of a firmament, shining like crystal, spread out above their heads.

rsv@Ezekiel:1:26 @ And above the firmament over their heads there was the likeness of a throne, in appearance like sapphire; and seated above the likeness of a throne was a likeness as it were of a human form.

rsv@Ezekiel:1:27 @ And upward from what had the appearance of his loins I saw as it were gleaming bronze, like the appearance of fire enclosed round about; and downward from what had the appearance of his loins I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and there was brightness round about him.

rsv@Ezekiel:1:28 @ Like the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud on the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about. Such was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard the voice of one speaking.

rsv@Ezekiel:2:5 @ And whether they hear or refuse to hear (for they are a rebellious house) they will know that there has been a prophet among them.

rsv@Ezekiel:3:3 @ And he said to me, "Son of man, eat this scroll that I give you and fill your stomach with it." Then I ate it; and it was in my mouth as sweet as honey.

rsv@Ezekiel:8:4 @ And behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, like the vision that I saw in the plain.

rsv@Ezekiel:8:5 @ Then he said to me, "Son of man, lift up your eyes now in the direction of the north." So I lifted up my eyes toward the north, and behold, north of the altar gate, in the entrance, was this image of jealousy.

rsv@Ezekiel:8:7 @ And he brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, behold, there was a hole in the wall.

rsv@Ezekiel:8:8 @ Then said he to me, "Son of man, dig in the wall"; and when I dug in the wall, lo, there was a door.

rsv@Ezekiel:8:16 @ And he brought me into the inner court of the house of the LORD; and behold, at the door of the temple of the LORD, between the porch and the altar, were about twenty-five men, with their backs to the temple of the LORD, and their faces toward the east, worshiping the sun toward the east.

rsv@Ezekiel:9:2 @ And lo, six men came from the direction of the upper gate, which faces north, every man with his weapon for slaughter in his hand, and with them was a man clothed in linen, with a writing case at his side. And they went in and stood beside the bronze altar.

rsv@Ezekiel:9:10 @ As for me, my eye will not spare, nor will I have pity, but I will requite their deeds upon their heads."

rsv@Ezekiel:9:11 @ And lo, the man clothed in linen, with the writing case at his side, brought back word, saying, "I have done as thou didst command me."

rsv@Ezekiel:10:5 @ And the sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard as far as the outer court, like the voice of God Almighty when he speaks.

rsv@Ezekiel:10:7 @ And a cherub stretched forth his hand from between the cherubim to the fire that was between the cherubim, and took some of it, and put it into the hands of the man clothed in linen, who took it and went out.

rsv@Ezekiel:10:9 @ And I looked, and behold, there were four wheels beside the cherubim, one beside each cherub; and the appearance of the wheels was like sparkling chrysolite.

rsv@Ezekiel:10:14 @ And every one had four faces: the first face was the face of the cherub, and the second face was the face of a man, and the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.

rsv@Ezekiel:10:19 @ And the cherubim lifted up their wings and mounted up from the earth in my sight as they went forth, with the wheels beside them; and they stood at the door of the east gate of the house of the LORD; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them.

rsv@Ezekiel:10:22 @ And as for the likeness of their faces, they were the very faces whose appearance I had seen by the river Chebar. They went every one straight forward.

rsv@Ezekiel:11:1 @ The Spirit lifted me up, and brought me to the east gate of the house of the LORD, which faces east. And behold, at the door of the gateway there were twenty-five men; and I saw among them Ja-azani'ah the son of Azzur, and Pelati'ah the son of Benai'ah, princes of the people.

rsv@Ezekiel:11:13 @ And it came to pass, while I was prophesying, that Pelati'ah the son of Benai'ah died. Then I fell down upon my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said, "Ah Lord GOD! wilt thou make a full end of the remnant of Israel?"

rsv@Daniel:6:2 @ and over them three presidents, of whom Daniel was one, to whom these satraps should give account, so that the king might suffer no loss.

rsv@Daniel:6:3 @ Then this Daniel became distinguished above all the other presidents and satraps, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king planned to set him over the whole kingdom.

rsv@Daniel:6:4 @ Then the presidents and the satraps sought to find a ground for complaint against Daniel with regard to the kingdom; but they could find no ground for complaint or any fault, because he was faithful, and no error or fault was found in him.

rsv@Daniel:6:7 @ All the presidents of the kingdom, the prefects and the satraps, the counselors and the governors are agreed that the king should establish an ordinance and enforce an interdict, that whoever makes petition to any god or man for thirty days, except to you, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions.

rsv@Daniel:6:10 @ When Daniel knew that the document had been signed, he went to his house where he had windows in his upper chamber open toward Jerusalem; and he got down upon his knees three times a day and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as he had done previously.

rsv@Daniel:6:12 @ Then they came near and said before the king, concerning the interdict, "O king! Did you not sign an interdict, that any man who makes petition to any god or man within thirty days except to you, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions?" The king answered, "The thing stands fast, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which cannot be revoked."

rsv@Daniel:6:14 @ Then the king, when he heard these words, was much distressed, and set his mind to deliver Daniel; and he labored till the sun went down to rescue him.

rsv@Daniel:6:16 @ Then the king commanded, and Daniel was brought and cast into the den of lions. The king said to Daniel, "May your God, whom you serve continually, deliver you!"

rsv@Daniel:6:17 @ And a stone was brought and laid upon the mouth of the den, and the king sealed it with his own signet and with the signet of his lords, that nothing might be changed concerning Daniel.

rsv@Daniel:6:18 @ Then the king went to his palace, and spent the night fasting; no diversions were brought to him, and sleep fled from him.

rsv@Daniel:6:19 @ Then, at break of day, the king arose and went in haste to the den of lions.

rsv@Daniel:6:20 @ When he came near to the den where Daniel was, he cried out in a tone of anguish and said to Daniel, "O Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God, whom you serve continually, been able to deliver you from the lions?"

rsv@Daniel:6:22 @ My God sent his angel and shut the lions' mouths, and they have not hurt me, because I was found blameless before him; and also before you, O king, I have done no wrong."

rsv@Daniel:6:23 @ Then the king was exceedingly glad, and commanded that Daniel be taken up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no kind of hurt was found upon him, because he had trusted in his God.

rsv@Daniel:6:24 @ And the king commanded, and those men who had accused Daniel were brought and cast into the den of lions--they, their children, and their wives; and before they reached the bottom of the den the lions overpowered them and broke all their bones in pieces.

rsv@Daniel:6:27 @ He delivers and rescues, he works signs and wonders in heaven and on earth, he who has saved Daniel from the power of the lions."

rsv@Daniel:7:1 @ In the first year of Belshaz'zar king of Babylon, Daniel had a dream and visions of his head as he lay in his bed. Then he wrote down the dream, and told the sum of the matter.

rsv@Daniel:7:3 @ And four great beasts came up out of the sea, different from one another.

rsv@Daniel:7:4 @ The first was like a lion and had eagles' wings. Then as I looked its wings were plucked off, and it was lifted up from the ground and made to stand upon two feet like a man; and the mind of a man was given to it.

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

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

rsv@Daniel:7:7 @ After this I saw in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast, terrible and dreadful and exceedingly strong; and it had great iron teeth; it devoured and broke in pieces, and stamped the residue with its feet. It was different from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.

rsv@Daniel:7:9 @ As I looked, thrones were placed and one that was ancient of days took his seat; his raiment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool; his throne was fiery flames, its wheels were burning fire.

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

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

rsv@Daniel:7:13 @ I saw in the night visions, and behold, with the clouds of heaven there came one like a son of man, and he came to the Ancient of Days and was presented before him.

rsv@Daniel:7:14 @ And to him was given dominion and glory and kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve him; his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom one that shall not be destroyed.

rsv@Daniel:7:15 @ "As for me, Daniel, my spirit within me was anxious and the visions of my head alarmed me.

rsv@Daniel:7:16 @ I approached one of those who stood there and asked him the truth concerning all this. So he told me, and made known to me the interpretation of the things.

rsv@Daniel:7:17 @ `These four great beasts are four kings who shall arise out of the earth.

rsv@Daniel:7:19 @ "Then I desired to know the truth concerning the fourth beast, which was different from all the rest, exceedingly terrible, with its teeth of iron and claws of bronze; and which devoured and broke in pieces, and stamped the residue with its feet;

rsv@Daniel:7:21 @ As I looked, this horn made war with the saints, and prevailed over them,

rsv@Daniel:7:22 @ until the Ancient of Days came, and judgment was given for the saints of the Most High, and the time came when the saints received the kingdom.

rsv@Daniel:7:23 @ "Thus he said: `As for the fourth beast, there shall be a fourth kingdom on earth, which shall be different from all the kingdoms, and it shall devour the whole earth, and trample it down, and break it to pieces.

rsv@Daniel:7:24 @ As for the ten horns, out of this kingdom ten kings shall arise, and another shall arise after them; he shall be different from the former ones, and shall put down three kings.

rsv@Daniel:7:27 @ And the kingdom and the dominion and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High; their kingdom shall be an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey them.'

rsv@Daniel:7:28 @ "Here is the end of the matter. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts greatly alarmed me, and my color changed; but I kept the matter in my mind."

rsv@Daniel:8:2 @ And I saw in the vision; and when I saw, I was in Susa the capital, which is in the province of Elam; and I saw in the vision, and I was at the river U'lai.

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

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

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

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

rsv@Daniel:8:8 @ Then the he-goat magnified himself exceedingly; but when he was strong, the great horn was broken, and instead of it there came up four conspicuous horns toward the four winds of heaven.

rsv@Daniel:8:9 @ Out of one of them came forth a little horn, which grew exceedingly great toward the south, toward the east, and toward the glorious land.

rsv@Daniel:8:10 @ It grew great, even to the host of heaven; and some of the host of the stars it cast down to the ground, and trampled upon them.

rsv@Daniel:8:11 @ It magnified itself, even up to the Prince of the host; and the continual burnt offering was taken away from him, and the place of his sanctuary was overthrown.

rsv@Daniel:8:12 @ And the host was given over to it together with the continual burnt offering through transgression; and truth was cast down to the ground, and the horn acted and prospered.

rsv@Daniel:8:17 @ So he came near where I stood; and when he came, I was frightened and fell upon my face. But he said to me, "Understand, O son of man, that the vision is for the time of the end."

rsv@Daniel:8:18 @ As he was speaking to me, I fell into a deep sleep with my face to the ground; but he touched me and set me on my feet.

rsv@Daniel:8:20 @ As for the ram which you saw with the two horns, these are the kings of Media and Persia.

rsv@Daniel:8:22 @ As for the horn that was broken, in place of which four others arose, four kingdoms shall arise from his nation, but not with his power.

rsv@Daniel:8:23 @ And at the latter end of their rule, when the transgressors have reached their full measure, a king of bold countenance, one who understands riddles, shall arise.

rsv@Daniel:8:26 @ The vision of the evenings and the mornings which has been told is true; but seal up the vision, for it pertains to many days hence."

rsv@Daniel:8:27 @ And I, Daniel, was overcome and lay sick for some days; then I rose and went about the king's business; but I was appalled by the vision and did not understand it.

rsv@Daniel:9:1 @ In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasu-e'rus, by birth a Mede, who became king over the realm of the Chalde'ans--

rsv@Daniel:9:2 @ in the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, perceived in the books the number of years which, according to the word of the LORD to Jeremiah the prophet, must pass before the end of the desolations of Jerusalem, namely, seventy years.

rsv@Daniel:9:3 @ Then I turned my face to the Lord God, seeking him by prayer and supplications with fasting and sackcloth and ashes.

rsv@Daniel:9:4 @ I prayed to the LORD my God and made confession, saying, "O Lord, the great and terrible God, who keepest covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments,

rsv@Daniel:9:5 @ we have sinned and done wrong and acted wickedly and rebelled, turning aside from thy commandments and ordinances;

rsv@Daniel:9:7 @ To thee, O Lord, belongs righteousness, but to us confusion of face, as at this day, to the men of Judah, to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to all Israel, those that are near and those that are far away, in all the lands to which thou hast driven them, because of the treachery which they have committed against thee.

rsv@Daniel:9:11 @ All Israel has transgressed thy law and turned aside, refusing to obey thy voice. And the curse and oath which are written in the law of Moses the servant of God have been poured out upon us, because we have sinned against him.

rsv@Daniel:9:12 @ He has confirmed his words, which he spoke against us and against our rulers who ruled us, by bringing upon us a great calamity; for under the whole heaven there has not been done the like of what has been done against Jerusalem.

rsv@Daniel:9:13 @ As it is written in the law of Moses, all this calamity has come upon us, yet we have not entreated the favor of the LORD our God, turning from our iniquities and giving heed to thy truth.

rsv@Daniel:9:14 @ Therefore the LORD has kept ready the calamity and has brought it upon us; for the LORD our God is righteous in all the works which he has done, and we have not obeyed his voice.

rsv@Daniel:9:15 @ And now, O Lord our God, who didst bring thy people out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and hast made thee a name, as at this day, we have sinned, we have done wickedly.

rsv@Daniel:9:20 @ While I was speaking and praying, confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before the LORD my God for the holy hill of my God;

rsv@Daniel:9:21 @ while I was speaking in prayer, the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the first, came to me in swift flight at the time of the evening sacrifice.

rsv@Daniel:9:24 @ "Seventy weeks of years are decreed concerning your people and your holy city, to finish the transgression, to put an end to sin, and to atone for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal both vision and prophet, and to anoint a most holy place.

rsv@Daniel:9:27 @ And he shall make a strong covenant with many for one week; and for half of the week he shall cause sacrifice and offering to cease; and upon the wing of abominations shall come one who makes desolate, until the decreed end is poured out on the desolator."

rsv@Daniel:10:1 @ In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a word was revealed to Daniel, who was named Belteshaz'zar. And the word was true, and it was a great conflict. And he understood the word and had understanding of the vision.

rsv@Daniel:10:2 @ In those days I, Daniel, was mourning for three weeks.

rsv@Daniel:10:4 @ On the twenty-fourth day of the first month, as I was standing on the bank of the great river, that is, the Tigris,

rsv@Daniel:10:6 @ His body was like beryl, his face like the appearance of lightning, his eyes like flaming torches, his arms and legs like the gleam of burnished bronze, and the sound of his words like the noise of a multitude.

rsv@Daniel:10:8 @ So I was left alone and saw this great vision, and no strength was left in me; my radiant appearance was fearfully changed, and I retained no strength.

rsv@Daniel:10:11 @ And he said to me, "O Daniel, man greatly beloved, give heed to the words that I speak to you, and stand upright, for now I have been sent to you." While he was speaking this word to me, I stood up trembling.

rsv@Daniel:10:15 @ When he had spoken to me according to these words, I turned my face toward the ground and was dumb.

rsv@Daniel:10:16 @ And behold, one in the likeness of the sons of men touched my lips; then I opened my mouth and spoke. I said to him who stood before me, "O my lord, by reason of the vision pains have come upon me, and I retain no strength.

rsv@Daniel:10:19 @ And he said, "O man greatly beloved, fear not, peace be with you; be strong and of good courage." And when he spoke to me, I was strengthened and said, "Let my lord speak, for you have strengthened me."

rsv@Daniel:11:1 @ And as for me, in the first year of Darius the Mede, I stood up to confirm and strengthen him.

rsv@Daniel:11:2 @ "And now I will show you the truth. Behold, three more kings shall arise in Persia; and a fourth shall be far richer than all of them; and when he has become strong through his riches, he shall stir up all against the kingdom of Greece.

rsv@Matthew:26:58 @ But Peter followed him at a distance, as far as the courtyard of the high priest, and going inside he sat with the guards to see the end.

rsv@Matthew:26:60 @ but they found none, though many false witnesses came forward. At last two came forward

rsv@Matthew:26:63 @ But Jesus was silent. And the high priest said to him, "I adjure you by the living God, tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God."

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

rsv@Matthew:26:69 @ Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard. And a maid came up to him, and said, "You also were with Jesus the Galilean."

rsv@Matthew:26:71 @ And when he went out to the porch, another maid saw him, and she said to the bystanders, "This man was with Jesus of Nazareth."

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

rsv@Matthew:27:6 @ But the chief priests, taking the pieces of silver, said, "It is not lawful to put them into the treasury, since they are blood money."

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

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

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

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

rsv@Matthew:27:12 @ But when he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he made no answer.

rsv@Matthew:27:15 @ Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release for the crowd any one prisoner whom they wanted.

rsv@Matthew:27:16 @ And they had then a notorious prisoner, called Barab'bas.

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

rsv@Matthew:27:18 @ For he knew that it was out of envy that they had delivered him up.

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

rsv@Matthew:27:20 @ Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the people to ask for Barab'bas and destroy Jesus.

rsv@Matthew:27:21 @ The governor again said to them, "Which of the two do you want me to release for you?" And they said, "Barab'bas."

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

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

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

rsv@Matthew:27:32 @ As they went out, they came upon a man of Cyre'ne, Simon by name; this man they compelled to carry his cross.

rsv@Matthew:27:34 @ they offered him wine to drink, mingled with gall; but when he tasted it, he would not drink it.

rsv@Matthew:27:35 @ And when they had crucified him, they divided his garments among them by casting lots;

rsv@Matthew:27:39 @ And those who passed by derided him, wagging their heads

rsv@Matthew:27:45 @ Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour.

rsv@Matthew:27:46 @ And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, "Eli, Eli, la'ma sabach-tha'ni?" that is, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"

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

rsv@Matthew:27:52 @ the tombs also were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised,

rsv@Matthew:27:54 @ When the centurion and those who were with him, keeping watch over Jesus, saw the earthquake and what took place, they were filled with awe, and said, "Truly this was the Son of God!"

rsv@Matthew:27:57 @ When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathe'a, named Joseph, who also was a disciple of Jesus.

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

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

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

rsv@Matthew:27:65 @ Pilate said to them, "You have a guard of soldiers; go, make it as secure as you can."

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

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

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

rsv@Matthew:28:6 @ He is not here; for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay.

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

rsv@Matthew:28:12 @ And when they had assembled with the elders and taken counsel, they gave a sum of money to the soldiers

rsv@Matthew:28:13 @ and said, "Tell people, `His disciples came by night and stole him away while we were asleep.'

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

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

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

rsv@Mark:1:6 @ Now John was clothed with camel's hair, and had a leather girdle around his waist, and ate locusts and wild honey.

rsv@Mark:1:9 @ In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.

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

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

rsv@Mark:1:14 @ Now after John was arrested, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God,

rsv@Mark:1:16 @ And passing along by the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew the brother of Simon casting a net in the sea; for they were fishermen.

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

rsv@Mark:1:23 @ And immediately there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit;

rsv@Mark:1:33 @ And the whole city was gathered together about the door.

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

rsv@Mark:1:39 @ And he went throughout all Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and casting out demons.

rsv@Mark:1:42 @ And immediately the leprosy left him, and he was made clean.

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

rsv@Mark:2:1 @ And when he returned to Caper'na-um after some days, it was reported that he was at home.

rsv@Mark:2:2 @ And many were gathered together, so that there was no longer room for them, not even about the door; and he was preaching the word to them.

rsv@Mark:2:7 @ "Why does this man speak thus? It is blasphemy! Who can forgive sins but God alone?"

rsv@Mark:2:9 @ Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, `Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, `Rise, take up your pallet and walk'?

rsv@Mark:2:10 @ But that you may know that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins"--he said to the paralytic--

rsv@Mark:2:14 @ And as he passed on, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax office, and he said to him, "Follow me." And he rose and followed him.

rsv@Mark:2:15 @ And as he sat at table in his house, many tax collectors and sinners were sitting with Jesus and his disciples; for there were many who followed him.

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

rsv@Mark:2:18 @ Now John's disciples and the Pharisees were fasting; and people came and said to him, "Why do John's disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?"

rsv@Mark:2:19 @ And Jesus said to them, "Can the wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.

rsv@Mark:2:20 @ The days will come, when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast in that day.

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

rsv@Mark:2:25 @ And he said to them, "Have you never read what David did, when he was in need and was hungry, he and those who were with him:

rsv@Mark:2:26 @ how he entered the house of God, when Abi'athar was high priest, and ate the bread of the Presence, which it is not lawful for any but the priests to eat, and also gave it to those who were with him?"

rsv@Mark:2:27 @ And he said to them, "The sabbath was made for man, not man for the sabbath;

rsv@Mark:3:1 @ Again he entered the synagogue, and a man was there who had a withered hand.

rsv@Mark:3:5 @ And he looked around at them with anger, grieved at their hardness of heart, and said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." He stretched it out, and his hand was restored.

rsv@Mark:3:10 @ for he had healed many, so that all who had diseases pressed upon him to touch him.

rsv@Mark:3:18 @ Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Cananaean,

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

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

rsv@Mark:3:23 @ And he called them to him, and said to them in parables, "How can Satan cast out Satan?

rsv@Mark:3:26 @ And if Satan has risen up against himself and is divided, he cannot stand, but is coming to an end.

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

rsv@Mark:3:29 @ but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin"--

rsv@Mark:3:30 @ for they had said, "He has an unclean spirit."

rsv@Mark:3:32 @ And a crowd was sitting about him; and they said to him, "Your mother and your brothers are outside, asking for you."

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

rsv@Mark:4:4 @ And as he sowed, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.

rsv@Mark:4:6 @ and when the sun rose it was scorched, and since it had no root it withered away.

rsv@Mark:4:8 @ And other seeds fell into good soil and brought forth grain, growing up and increasing and yielding thirtyfold and sixtyfold and a hundredfold."

rsv@Mark:4:9 @ And he said, "He who has ears to hear, let him hear."

rsv@Mark:4:10 @ And when he was alone, those who were about him with the twelve asked him concerning the parables.

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

rsv@Mark:4:23 @ If any man has ears to hear, let him hear."

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

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

rsv@Mark:4:26 @ And he said, "The kingdom of God is as if a man should scatter seed upon the ground,

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

rsv@Mark:4:33 @ With many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it;

rsv@Mark:4:36 @ And leaving the crowd, they took him with them in the boat, just as he was. And other boats were with him.

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

rsv@Mark:4:38 @ But he was in the stern, asleep on the cushion; and they woke him and said to him, "Teacher, do you not care if we perish?"

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

rsv@Mark:5:1 @ They came to the other side of the sea, to the country of the Ger'asenes.

rsv@Mark:5:5 @ Night and day among the tombs and on the mountains he was always crying out, and bruising himself with stones.

rsv@Mark:5:9 @ And Jesus asked him, "What is your name?" He replied, "My name is Legion; for we are many."

rsv@Mark:5:11 @ Now a great herd of swine was feeding there on the hillside;

rsv@Mark:5:14 @ The herdsmen fled, and told it in the city and in the country. And people came to see what it was that had happened.

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

rsv@Mark:5:19 @ But he refused, and said to him, "Go home to your friends, and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you."

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

rsv@Mark:5:25 @ And there was a woman who had had a flow of blood for twelve years,

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

rsv@Mark:5:29 @ And immediately the hemorrhage ceased; and she felt in her body that she was healed of her disease.

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

rsv@Mark:5:35 @ While he was still speaking, there came from the ruler's house some who said, "Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the Teacher any further?"

rsv@Mark:5:40 @ And they laughed at him. But he put them all outside, and took the child's father and mother and those who were with him, and went in where the child was.

rsv@Mark:5:42 @ And immediately the girl got up and walked (she was twelve years of age), and they were immediately overcome with amazement.

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

rsv@Mark:6:3 @ Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon, and are not his sisters here with us?" And they took offense at him.

rsv@Mark:6:13 @ And they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many that were sick and healed them.

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

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

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

rsv@Mark:6:19 @ And Hero'di-as had a grudge against him, and wanted to kill him. But she could not,

rsv@Mark:6:20 @ for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and kept him safe. When he heard him, he was much perplexed; and yet he heard him gladly.

rsv@Mark:6:22 @ For when Hero'di-as' daughter came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his guests; and the king said to the girl, "Ask me for whatever you wish, and I will grant it."

rsv@Mark:6:23 @ And he vowed to her, "Whatever you ask me, I will give you, even half of my kingdom."

rsv@Mark:6:24 @ And she went out, and said to her mother, "What shall I ask?" And she said, "The head of John the baptizer."

rsv@Mark:6:25 @ And she came in immediately with haste to the king, and asked, saying, "I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter."

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

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

rsv@Mark:6:39 @ Then he commanded them all to sit down by companies upon the green grass.

rsv@Mark:6:43 @ And they took up twelve baskets full of broken pieces and of the fish.

rsv@Mark:6:47 @ And when evening came, the boat was out on the sea, and he was alone on the land.

rsv@Mark:6:48 @ And he saw that they were making headway painfully, for the wind was against them. And about the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea. He meant to pass by them,

rsv@Mark:6:49 @ but when they saw him walking on the sea they thought it was a ghost, and cried out;

rsv@Mark:6:51 @ And he got into the boat with them and the wind ceased. And they were utterly astounded,

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

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

rsv@Mark:7:2 @ they saw that some of his disciples ate with hands defiled, that is, unwashed.

rsv@Mark:7:3 @ (For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, do not eat unless they wash their hands, observing the tradition of the elders;

rsv@Mark:7:4 @ and when they come from the market place, they do not eat unless they purify themselves; and there are many other traditions which they observe, the washing of cups and pots and vessels of bronze.)

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

rsv@Mark:7:6 @ And he said to them, "Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written, `This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me;

rsv@Mark:7:7 @ in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the precepts of men.'

rsv@Mark:7:8 @ You leave the commandment of God, and hold fast the tradition of men."

rsv@Mark:7:16 @ And when he had entered the house, and left the people, his disciples asked him about the parable.

rsv@Mark:7:18 @ since it enters, not his heart but his stomach, and so passes on?" (Thus he declared all foods clean.)

rsv@Mark:7:24 @ But immediately a woman, whose little daughter was possessed by an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell down at his feet.

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

rsv@Mark:7:28 @ And he said to her, "For this saying you may go your way; the demon has left your daughter."

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

rsv@Mark:7:32 @ And taking him aside from the multitude privately, he put his fingers into his ears, and he spat and touched his tongue;

rsv@Mark:7:34 @ And his ears were opened, his tongue was released, and he spoke plainly.

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

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

rsv@Mark:8:5 @ And he asked them, "How many loaves have you?" They said, "Seven."

rsv@Mark:8:8 @ And they ate, and were satisfied; and they took up the broken pieces left over, seven baskets full.

rsv@Mark:8:19 @ When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?" They said to him, "Twelve."

rsv@Mark:8:20 @ "And the seven for the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?" And they said to him, "Seven."

rsv@Mark:8:23 @ And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the village; and when he had spit on his eyes and laid his hands upon him, he asked him, "Do you see anything?"

rsv@Mark:8:25 @ Then again he laid his hands upon his eyes; and he looked intently and was restored, and saw everything clearly.

rsv@Mark:8:27 @ And Jesus went on with his disciples, to the villages of Caesare'a Philip'pi; and on the way he asked his disciples, "Who do men say that I am?"

rsv@Mark:8:29 @ And he asked them, "But who do you say that I am?" Peter answered him, "You are the Christ."

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

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

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

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

rsv@Mark:9:5 @ And Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is well that we are here; let us make three booths, one for you and one for Moses and one for Eli'jah."

rsv@Mark:9:9 @ And as they were coming down the mountain, he charged them to tell no one what they had seen, until the Son of man should have risen from the dead.

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

rsv@Mark:9:13 @ But I tell you that Eli'jah has come, and they did to him whatever they pleased, as it is written of him."

rsv@Mark:9:16 @ And he asked them, "What are you discussing with them?"

rsv@Mark:9:17 @ And one of the crowd answered him, "Teacher, I brought my son to you, for he has a dumb spirit;

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

rsv@Mark:9:21 @ And Jesus asked his father, "How long has he had this?" And he said, "From childhood.

rsv@Mark:9:22 @ And it has often cast him into the fire and into the water, to destroy him; but if you can do anything, have pity on us and help us."

rsv@Mark:9:26 @ And after crying out and convulsing him terribly, it came out, and the boy was like a corpse; so that most of them said, "He is dead."

rsv@Mark:9:28 @ And when he had entered the house, his disciples asked him privately, "Why could we not cast it out?"

rsv@Mark:9:30 @ They went on from there and passed through Galilee. And he would not have any one know it;

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

rsv@Mark:9:32 @ But they did not understand the saying, and they were afraid to ask him.

rsv@Mark:9:33 @ And they came to Caper'na-um; and when he was in the house he asked them, "What were you discussing on the way?"

rsv@Mark:9:34 @ But they were silent; for on the way they had discussed with one another who was the greatest.

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

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

rsv@Mark:9:48 @ Salt is good; but if the salt has lost its saltness, how will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another."

rsv@Mark:10:1 @ And he left there and went to the region of Judea and beyond the Jordan, and crowds gathered to him again; and again, as his custom was, he taught them.

rsv@Mark:10:2 @ And Pharisees came up and in order to test him asked, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?"

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

rsv@Mark:10:9 @ What therefore God has joined together, let not man put asunder."

rsv@Mark:10:10 @ And in the house the disciples asked him again about this matter.

rsv@Mark:10:14 @ But when Jesus saw it he was indignant, and said to them, "Let the children come to me, do not hinder them; for to such belongs the kingdom of God.

rsv@Mark:10:17 @ And as he was setting out on his journey, a man ran up and knelt before him, and asked him, "Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?"

rsv@Mark:10:21 @ And Jesus looking upon him loved him, and said to him, "You lack one thing; go, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me."

rsv@Mark:10:25 @ It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."

rsv@Mark:10:26 @ And they were exceedingly astonished, and said to him, "Then who can be saved?"

rsv@Mark:10:29 @ Jesus said, "Truly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or lands, for my sake and for the gospel,

rsv@Mark:10:31 @ But many that are first will be last, and the last first."

rsv@Mark:10:32 @ And they were on the road, going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was walking ahead of them; and they were amazed, and those who followed were afraid. And taking the twelve again, he began to tell them what was to happen to him,

rsv@Mark:10:35 @ And James and John, the sons of Zeb'edee, came forward to him, and said to him, "Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask of you."

rsv@Mark:10:40 @ but to sit at my right hand or at my left is not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared."

rsv@Mark:10:45 @ For the Son of man also came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."

rsv@Mark:10:46 @ And they came to Jericho; and as he was leaving Jericho with his disciples and a great multitude, Bartimae'us, a blind beggar, the son of Timae'us, was sitting by the roadside.

rsv@Mark:10:47 @ And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!"

rsv@Mark:10:51 @ And Jesus said to him, "What do you want me to do for you?" And the blind man said to him, "Master, let me receive my sight."

rsv@Mark:10:52 @ And Jesus said to him, "Go your way; your faith has made you well." And immediately he received his sight and followed him on the way.

rsv@Mark:11:2 @ and said to them, "Go into the village opposite you, and immediately as you enter it you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever sat; untie it and bring it.

rsv@Mark:11:3 @ If any one says to you, `Why are you doing this?' say, `The Lord has need of it and will send it back here immediately.'"

rsv@Mark:11:11 @ And he entered Jerusalem, and went into the temple; and when he had looked round at everything, as it was already late, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.

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

rsv@Mark:11:13 @ And seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to see if he could find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs.

rsv@Mark:11:18 @ And the chief priests and the scribes heard it and sought a way to destroy him; for they feared him, because all the multitude was astonished at his teaching.

rsv@Mark:11:20 @ As they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away to its roots.

rsv@Mark:11:21 @ And Peter remembered and said to him, "Master, look! The fig tree which you cursed has withered."

rsv@Mark:11:23 @ Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, `Be taken up and cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him.

rsv@Mark:11:24 @ Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

rsv@Mark:11:25 @ And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against any one; so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses."

rsv@Mark:11:26 @ And they came again to Jerusalem. And as he was walking in the temple, the chief priests and the scribes and the elders came to him,

rsv@Mark:11:28 @ Jesus said to them, "I will ask you a question; answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.

rsv@Mark:11:29 @ Was the baptism of John from heaven or from men? Answer me."

rsv@Mark:11:31 @ But shall we say, `From men'?"--they were afraid of the people, for all held that John was a real prophet.

rsv@Mark:12:8 @ And they took him and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.

rsv@Mark:12:10 @ Have you not read this scripture: `The very stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner;

rsv@Mark:12:11 @ this was the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes'?"

rsv@Mark:12:18 @ And Sad'ducees came to him, who say that there is no resurrection; and they asked him a question, saying,

rsv@Mark:12:22 @ and the seven left no children. Last of all the woman also died.

rsv@Mark:12:23 @ In the resurrection whose wife will she be? For the seven had her as wife."

rsv@Mark:12:26 @ And as for the dead being raised, have you not read in the book of Moses, in the passage about the bush, how God said to him, `I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'?

rsv@Mark:12:28 @ And one of the scribes came up and heard them disputing with one another, and seeing that he answered them well, asked him, "Which commandment is the first of all?"

rsv@Mark:12:31 @ The second is this, `You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these."

rsv@Mark:12:33 @ and to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the strength, and to love one's neighbor as oneself, is much more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices."

rsv@Mark:12:34 @ And when Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, "You are not far from the kingdom of God." And after that no one dared to ask him any question.

rsv@Mark:12:35 @ And as Jesus taught in the temple, he said, "How can the scribes say that the Christ is the son of David?

rsv@Mark:12:39 @ and the best seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at feasts,

rsv@Mark:12:41 @ And he sat down opposite the treasury, and watched the multitude putting money into the treasury. Many rich people put in large sums.

rsv@Mark:12:43 @ And he called his disciples to him, and said to them, "Truly, I say to you, this poor widow has put in more than all those who are contributing to the treasury.

rsv@Mark:12:44 @ For they all contributed out of their abundance; but she out of her poverty has put in everything she had, her whole living."

rsv@Mark:13:1 @ And as he came out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him, "Look, Teacher, what wonderful stones and what wonderful buildings!"

rsv@Mark:13:3 @ And as he sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,

rsv@Mark:13:5 @ And Jesus began to say to them, "Take heed that no one leads you astray.

rsv@Mark:13:6 @ Many will come in my name, saying, `I am he!' and they will lead many astray.

rsv@Mark:13:17 @ And alas for those who are with child and for those who give suck in those days!

rsv@Mark:13:19 @ For in those days there will be such tribulation as has not been from the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never will be.

rsv@Mark:13:22 @ False Christs and false prophets will arise and show signs and wonders, to lead astray, if possible, the elect.

rsv@Mark:13:28 @ "From the fig tree learn its lesson: as soon as its branch becomes tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near.

rsv@Mark:13:30 @ Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away before all these things take place.

rsv@Mark:13:35 @ Watch therefore--for you do not know when the master of the house will come, in the evening, or at midnight, or at cockcrow, or in the morning--

rsv@Mark:13:36 @ lest he come suddenly and find you asleep.

rsv@Mark:14:1 @ It was now two days before the Passover and the feast of Unleavened Bread. And the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how to arrest him by stealth, and kill him;

rsv@Mark:14:2 @ for they said, "Not during the feast, lest there be a tumult of the people."

rsv@Mark:14:3 @ And while he was at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at table, a woman came with an alabaster flask of ointment of pure nard, very costly, and she broke the flask and poured it over his head.

rsv@Mark:14:4 @ But there were some who said to themselves indignantly, "Why was the ointment thus wasted?

rsv@Mark:14:6 @ But Jesus said, "Let her alone; why do you trouble her? She has done a beautiful thing to me.

rsv@Mark:14:8 @ She has done what she could; she has anointed my body beforehand for burying.

rsv@Mark:14:9 @ And truly, I say to you, wherever the gospel is preached in the whole world, what she has done will be told in memory of her."

rsv@Mark:14:10 @ Then Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve, went to the chief priests in order to betray him to them.

rsv@Mark:14:12 @ And on the first day of Unleavened Bread, when they sacrificed the passover lamb, his disciples said to him, "Where will you have us go and prepare for you to eat the passover?"

rsv@Mark:14:14 @ and wherever he enters, say to the householder, `The Teacher says, Where is my guest room, where I am to eat the passover with my disciples?'

rsv@Mark:14:16 @ And the disciples set out and went to the city, and found it as he had told them; and they prepared the passover.

rsv@Mark:14:17 @ And when it was evening he came with the twelve.

rsv@Mark:14:18 @ And as they were at table eating, Jesus said, "Truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me, one who is eating with me."

rsv@Mark:14:21 @ For the Son of man goes as it is written of him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man if he had not been born."

rsv@Mark:14:22 @ And as they were eating, he took bread, and blessed, and broke it, and gave it to them, and said, "Take; this is my body."

rsv@Mark:14:32 @ And they went to a place which was called Gethsem'ane; and he said to his disciples, "Sit here, while I pray."

rsv@Mark:14:35 @ And going a little farther, he fell on the ground and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him.

rsv@Mark:14:37 @ And he came and found them sleeping, and he said to Peter, "Simon, are you asleep? Could you not watch one hour?

rsv@Mark:14:41 @ And he came the third time, and said to them, "Are you still sleeping and taking your rest? It is enough; the hour has come; the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

rsv@Mark:14:43 @ And immediately, while he was still speaking, Judas came, one of the twelve, and with him a crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.

rsv@Mark:14:45 @ And when he came, he went up to him at once, and said, "Master!" And he kissed him.

rsv@Mark:14:48 @ And Jesus said to them, "Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs to capture me?

rsv@Mark:14:49 @ Day after day I was with you in the temple teaching, and you did not seize me. But let the scriptures be fulfilled."

rsv@Mark:14:53 @ And they led Jesus to the high priest; and all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes were assembled.

rsv@Mark:14:54 @ And Peter had followed him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest; and he was sitting with the guards, and warming himself at the fire.

rsv@Mark:14:60 @ And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, "Have you no answer to make? What is it that these men testify against you?"

rsv@Mark:14:61 @ But he was silent and made no answer. Again the high priest asked him, "Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?"

rsv@Mark:14:64 @ You have heard his blasphemy. What is your decision?" And they all condemned him as deserving death.

rsv@Mark:14:66 @ And as Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the maids of the high priest came;

rsv@Mark:15:1 @ And as soon as it was morning the chief priests, with the elders and scribes, and the whole council held a consultation; and they bound Jesus and led him away and delivered him to Pilate.

rsv@Mark:15:2 @ And Pilate asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" And he answered him, "You have said so."

rsv@Mark:15:4 @ And Pilate again asked him, "Have you no answer to make? See how many charges they bring against you."

rsv@Mark:15:6 @ Now at the feast he used to release for them one prisoner for whom they asked.

rsv@Mark:15:7 @ And among the rebels in prison, who had committed murder in the insurrection, there was a man called Barab'bas.

rsv@Mark:15:8 @ And the crowd came up and began to ask Pilate to do as he was wont to do for them.

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

rsv@Mark:15:10 @ For he perceived that it was out of envy that the chief priests had delivered him up.

rsv@Mark:15:11 @ But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have him release for them Barab'bas instead.

rsv@Mark:15:14 @ And Pilate said to them, "Why, what evil has he done?" But they shouted all the more, "Crucify him."

rsv@Mark:15:15 @ So Pilate, wishing to satisfy the crowd, released for them Barab'bas; and having scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.

rsv@Mark:15:21 @ And they compelled a passer-by, Simon of Cyre'ne, who was coming in from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to carry his cross.

rsv@Mark:15:24 @ And they crucified him, and divided his garments among them, casting lots for them, to decide what each should take.

rsv@Mark:15:25 @ And it was the third hour, when they crucified him.

rsv@Mark:15:28 @ And those who passed by derided him, wagging their heads, and saying, "Aha! You who would destroy the temple and build it in three days,

rsv@Mark:15:32 @ And when the sixth hour had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.

rsv@Mark:15:33 @ And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, "E'lo-i, E'lo-i, la'ma sabach-tha'ni?" which means, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"

rsv@Mark:15:36 @ And Jesus uttered a loud cry, and breathed his last.

rsv@Mark:15:37 @ And the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom.

rsv@Mark:15:38 @ And when the centurion, who stood facing him, saw that he thus breathed his last, he said, "Truly this man was the Son of God!"

rsv@Mark:15:40 @ who, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered to him; and also many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.

rsv@Mark:15:41 @ And when evening had come, since it was the day of Preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,

rsv@Mark:15:42 @ Joseph of Arimathe'a, a respected member of the council, who was also himself looking for the kingdom of God, took courage and went to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus.

rsv@Mark:15:43 @ And Pilate wondered if he were already dead; and summoning the centurion, he asked him whether he was already dead.

rsv@Mark:15:44 @ And when he learned from the centurion that he was dead, he granted the body to Joseph.

rsv@Mark:15:46 @ Mary Mag'dalene and Mary the mother of Joses saw where he was laid.

rsv@Mark:16:1 @ And when the sabbath was past, Mary Mag'dalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salo'me, bought spices, so that they might go and anoint him.

rsv@Mark:16:4 @ And looking up, they saw that the stone was rolled back; --it was very large.

rsv@Mark:16:6 @ And he said to them, "Do not be amazed; you seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has risen, he is not here; see the place where they laid him.

rsv@Mark:16:7 @ But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him, as he told you."

rsv@Mark:16:8 @ And they went out and fled from the tomb; for trembling and astonishment had come upon them; and they said nothing to any one, for they were afraid.

rsv@Mark:16:9 @ Now when he rose early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom he had cast out seven demons.

rsv@Mark:16:10 @ She went and told those who had been with him, as they mourned and wept.

rsv@Mark:16:11 @ But when they heard that he was alive and had been seen by her, they would not believe it.

rsv@Mark:16:12 @ After this he appeared in another form to two of them, as they were walking into the country.

rsv@Mark:16:14 @ Afterward he appeared to the eleven themselves as they sat at table; and he upbraided them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they had not believed those who saw him after he had risen.

rsv@Mark:16:17 @ And these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues;

rsv@Mark:16:19 @ So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.

rsv@Luke:1:5 @ In the days of Herod, king of Judea, there was a priest named Zechari'ah, of the division of Abi'jah; and he had a wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.

rsv@Luke:1:7 @ But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and both were advanced in years.

rsv@Luke:1:8 @ Now while he was serving as priest before God when his division was on duty,

rsv@Luke:1:12 @ And Zechari'ah was troubled when he saw him, and fear fell upon him.

rsv@Luke:1:19 @ And the angel answered him, "I am Gabriel, who stand in the presence of God; and I was sent to speak to you, and to bring you this good news.

rsv@Luke:1:20 @ And behold, you will be silent and unable to speak until the day that these things come to pass, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their time."

rsv@Luke:1:23 @ And when his time of service was ended, he went to his home.

rsv@Luke:1:25 @ "Thus the Lord has done to me in the days when he looked on me, to take away my reproach among men."

rsv@Luke:1:26 @ In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth,

rsv@Luke:1:27 @ to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.

rsv@Luke:1:29 @ But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and considered in her mind what sort of greeting this might be.

rsv@Luke:1:36 @ And behold, your kinswoman Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son; and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren.

rsv@Luke:1:39 @ In those days Mary arose and went with haste into the hill country, to a city of Judah,

rsv@Luke:1:41 @ And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit

rsv@Luke:1:45 @ And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfilment of what was spoken to her from the Lord."

rsv@Luke:1:48 @ for he has regarded the low estate of his handmaiden. For behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed;

rsv@Luke:1:64 @ And immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue loosed, and he spoke, blessing God.

rsv@Luke:1:66 @ and all who heard them laid them up in their hearts, saying, "What then will this child be?" For the hand of the Lord was with him.

rsv@Luke:1:67 @ And his father Zechari'ah was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying,

rsv@Luke:1:68 @ "Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, for he has visited and redeemed his people,

rsv@Luke:2:14 @ "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among men with whom he is pleased!"

rsv@Luke:4:42 @ And when it was day he departed and went into a lonely place. And the people sought him and came to him, and would have kept him from leaving them;

rsv@Luke:4:43 @ but he said to them, "I must preach the good news of the kingdom of God to the other cities also; for I was sent for this purpose."

rsv@Luke:4:44 @ And he was preaching in the synagogues of Judea.

rsv@Luke:5:1 @ While the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he was standing by the lake of Gennes'aret.

rsv@Luke:5:2 @ And he saw two boats by the lake; but the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets.

rsv@Luke:5:3 @ Getting into one of the boats, which was Simon's, he asked him to put out a little from the land. And he sat down and taught the people from the boat.

rsv@Luke:5:4 @ And when he had ceased speaking, he said to Simon, "Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch."

rsv@Luke:5:5 @ And Simon answered, "Master, we toiled all night and took nothing! But at your word I will let down the nets."

rsv@Luke:5:6 @ And when they had done this, they enclosed a great shoal of fish; and as their nets were breaking,

rsv@Luke:5:9 @ For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the catch of fish which they had taken;

rsv@Luke:5:12 @ While he was in one of the cities, there came a man full of leprosy; and when he saw Jesus, he fell on his face and besought him, "Lord, if you will, you can make me clean."

rsv@Luke:5:14 @ And he charged him to tell no one; but "go and show yourself to the priest, and make an offering for your cleansing, as Moses commanded, for a proof to the people."

rsv@Luke:5:17 @ On one of those days, as he was teaching, there were Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting by, who had come from every village of Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem; and the power of the Lord was with him to heal.

rsv@Luke:5:18 @ And behold, men were bringing on a bed a man who was paralyzed, and they sought to bring him in and lay him before Jesus;

rsv@Luke:5:21 @ And the scribes and the Pharisees began to question, saying, "Who is this that speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God only?"

rsv@Luke:5:23 @ Which is easier, to say, `Your sins are forgiven you,' or to say, `Rise and walk'?

rsv@Luke:5:24 @ But that you may know that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins"--he said to the man who was paralyzed--"I say to you, rise, take up your bed and go home."

rsv@Luke:5:29 @ And Levi made him a great feast in his house; and there was a large company of tax collectors and others sitting at table with them.

rsv@Luke:5:33 @ And they said to him, "The disciples of John fast often and offer prayers, and so do the disciples of the Pharisees, but yours eat and drink."

rsv@Luke:5:34 @ And Jesus said to them, "Can you make wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is with them?

rsv@Luke:5:35 @ The days will come, when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast in those days."

rsv@Luke:6:1 @ On a sabbath, while he was going through the grainfields, his disciples plucked and ate some heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands.

rsv@Luke:6:3 @ And Jesus answered, "Have you not read what David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him:

rsv@Luke:6:6 @ On another sabbath, when he entered the synagogue and taught, a man was there whose right hand was withered.

rsv@Luke:6:9 @ And Jesus said to them, "I ask you, is it lawful on the sabbath to do good or to do harm, to save life or to destroy it?"

rsv@Luke:6:10 @ And he looked around on them all, and said to him, "Stretch out your hand." And he did so, and his hand was restored.

rsv@Luke:6:13 @ And when it was day, he called his disciples, and chose from them twelve, whom he named apostles;

rsv@Luke:6:15 @ and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon who was called the Zealot,

rsv@Luke:6:16 @ and Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.

rsv@Luke:6:17 @ And he came down with them and stood on a level place, with a great crowd of his disciples and a great multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem and the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases;

rsv@Luke:7:2 @ Now a centurion had a slave who was dear to him, who was sick and at the point of death.

rsv@Luke:7:3 @ When he heard of Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, asking him to come and heal his slave.

rsv@Luke:7:6 @ And Jesus went with them. When he was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying to him, "Lord, do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy to have you come under my roof;

rsv@Luke:7:28 @ I tell you, among those born of women none is greater than John; yet he who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he."

rsv@Luke:7:33 @ For John the Baptist has come eating no bread and drinking no wine; and you say, `He has a demon.'

rsv@Luke:7:34 @ The Son of man has come eating and drinking; and you say, `Behold, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!'

rsv@Luke:7:36 @ One of the Pharisees asked him to eat with him, and he went into the Pharisee's house, and took his place at table.

rsv@Luke:7:37 @ And behold, a woman of the city, who was a sinner, when she learned that he was at table in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster flask of ointment,

rsv@Luke:7:44 @ Then turning toward the woman he said to Simon, "Do you see this woman? I entered your house, you gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair.

rsv@Luke:7:45 @ You gave me no kiss, but from the time I came in she has not ceased to kiss my feet.

rsv@Luke:7:46 @ You did not anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment.

rsv@Luke:8:6 @ And some fell on the rock; and as it grew up, it withered away, because it had no moisture.

rsv@Luke:8:8 @ And some fell into good soil and grew, and yielded a hundredfold." As he said this, he called out, "He who has ears to hear, let him hear."

rsv@Luke:8:9 @ And when his disciples asked him what this parable meant,

rsv@Luke:8:10 @ he said, "To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of God; but for others they are in parables, so that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.

rsv@Luke:8:18 @ Take heed then how you hear; for to him who has will more be given, and from him who has not, even what he thinks that he has will be taken away."

rsv@Luke:8:20 @ And he was told, "Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, desiring to see you."

rsv@Luke:8:23 @ and as they sailed he fell asleep. And a storm of wind came down on the lake, and they were filling with water, and were in danger.

rsv@Luke:8:24 @ And they went and woke him, saying, "Master, Master, we are perishing!" And he awoke and rebuked the wind and the raging waves; and they ceased, and there was a calm.

rsv@Luke:8:26 @ Then they arrived at the country of the Ger'asenes, which is opposite Galilee.

rsv@Luke:8:27 @ And as he stepped out on land, there met him a man from the city who had demons; for a long time he had worn no clothes, and he lived not in a house but among the tombs.

rsv@Luke:8:29 @ For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. (For many a time it had seized him; he was kept under guard, and bound with chains and fetters, but he broke the bonds and was driven by the demon into the desert.)

rsv@Luke:8:30 @ Jesus then asked him, "What is your name?" And he said, "Legion"; for many demons had entered him.

rsv@Luke:8:32 @ Now a large herd of swine was feeding there on the hillside; and they begged him to let them enter these. So he gave them leave.

rsv@Luke:8:36 @ And those who had seen it told them how he who had been possessed with demons was healed.

rsv@Luke:8:37 @ Then all the people of the surrounding country of the Ger'asenes asked him to depart from them; for they were seized with great fear; so he got into the boat and returned.

rsv@Luke:8:39 @ "Return to your home, and declare how much God has done for you." And he went away, proclaiming throughout the whole city how much Jesus had done for him.

rsv@Luke:8:41 @ And there came a man named Ja'irus, who was a ruler of the synagogue; and falling at Jesus' feet he besought him to come to his house,

rsv@Luke:8:42 @ for he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. As he went, the people pressed round him.

rsv@Luke:8:44 @ came up behind him, and touched the fringe of his garment; and immediately her flow of blood ceased.

rsv@Luke:8:45 @ And Jesus said, "Who was it that touched me?" When all denied it, Peter said, "Master, the multitudes surround you and press upon you!"

rsv@Luke:8:46 @ But Jesus said, "Some one touched me; for I perceive that power has gone forth from me."

rsv@Luke:8:47 @ And when the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling, and falling down before him declared in the presence of all the people why she had touched him, and how she had been immediately healed.

rsv@Luke:8:48 @ And he said to her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace."

rsv@Luke:8:49 @ While he was still speaking, a man from the ruler's house came and said, "Your daughter is dead; do not trouble the Teacher any more."

rsv@Luke:8:53 @ And they laughed at him, knowing that she was dead.

rsv@Luke:9:1 @ And he called the twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases,

rsv@Luke:9:5 @ And wherever they do not receive you, when you leave that town shake off the dust from your feet as a testimony against them."

rsv@Luke:9:7 @ Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done, and he was perplexed, because it was said by some that John had been raised from the dead,

rsv@Luke:9:17 @ And all ate and were satisfied. And they took up what was left over, twelve baskets of broken pieces.

rsv@Luke:9:18 @ Now it happened that as he was praying alone the disciples were with him; and he asked them, "Who do the people say that I am?"

rsv@Luke:9:19 @ And they answered, "John the Baptist; but others say, Eli'jah; and others, that one of the old prophets has risen."

rsv@Luke:9:26 @ For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of man be ashamed when he comes in his glory and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.

rsv@Luke:9:27 @ But I tell you truly, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God."

rsv@Luke:9:29 @ And as he was praying, the appearance of his countenance was altered, and his raiment became dazzling white.

rsv@Luke:9:31 @ who appeared in glory and spoke of his departure, which he was to accomplish at Jerusalem.

rsv@Luke:9:33 @ And as the men were parting from him, Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is well that we are here; let us make three booths, one for you and one for Moses and one for Eli'jah"--not knowing what he said.

rsv@Luke:9:34 @ As he said this, a cloud came and overshadowed them; and they were afraid as they entered the cloud.

rsv@Luke:9:36 @ And when the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. And they kept silence and told no one in those days anything of what they had seen.

rsv@Luke:9:40 @ And I begged your disciples to cast it out, but they could not."

rsv@Luke:9:42 @ While he was coming, the demon tore him and convulsed him. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.

rsv@Luke:9:43 @ And all were astonished at the majesty of God. But while they were all marveling at everything he did, he said to his disciples,

rsv@Luke:9:45 @ But they did not understand this saying, and it was concealed from them, that they should not perceive it; and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.

rsv@Luke:9:46 @ And an argument arose among them as to which of them was the greatest.

rsv@Luke:9:48 @ and said to them, "Whoever receives this child in my name receives me, and whoever receives me receives him who sent me; for he who is least among you all is the one who is great."

rsv@Luke:9:49 @ John answered, "Master, we saw a man casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he does not follow with us."

rsv@Luke:9:53 @ but the people would not receive him, because his face was set toward Jerusalem.

rsv@Luke:9:57 @ As they were going along the road, a man said to him, "I will follow you wherever you go."

rsv@Luke:9:60 @ But he said to him, "Leave the dead to bury their own dead; but as for you, go and proclaim the kingdom of God."

rsv@Luke:10:1 @ After this the Lord appointed seventy others, and sent them on ahead of him, two by two, into every town and place where he himself was about to come.

rsv@John:2:9 @ When the steward of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and did not know where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the steward of the feast called the bridegroom

rsv@John:2:13 @ The Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

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

rsv@John:2:20 @ The Jews then said, "It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will you raise it up in three days?"

rsv@John:2:22 @ When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this; and they believed the scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken.

rsv@John:2:23 @ Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover feast, many believed in his name when they saw the signs which he did;

rsv@John:2:25 @ because he knew all men and needed no one to bear witness of man; for he himself knew what was in man.

rsv@John:3:1 @ Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicode'mus, a ruler of the Jews.

rsv@John:3:13 @ No one has ascended into heaven but he who descended from heaven, the Son of man.

rsv@John:3:14 @ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up,

rsv@John:3:18 @ He who believes in him is not condemned; he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

rsv@John:3:19 @ And this is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

rsv@John:3:23 @ John also was baptizing at Ae'non near Salim, because there was much water there; and people came and were baptized.

rsv@John:3:26 @ And they came to John, and said to him, "Rabbi, he who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you bore witness, here he is, baptizing, and all are going to him."

rsv@John:3:29 @ He who has the bride is the bridegroom; the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly at the bridegroom's voice; therefore this joy of mine is now full.

rsv@John:3:30 @ He must increase, but I must decrease."

rsv@John:3:32 @ He bears witness to what he has seen and heard, yet no one receives his testimony;

rsv@John:3:34 @ For he whom God has sent utters the words of God, for it is not by measure that he gives the Spirit;

rsv@John:3:35 @ the Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand.

rsv@John:3:36 @ He who believes in the Son has eternal life; he who does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God rests upon him.

rsv@John:4:1 @ Now when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John

rsv@John:4:4 @ He had to pass through Samar'ia.

rsv@John:4:6 @ Jacob's well was there, and so Jesus, wearied as he was with his journey, sat down beside the well. It was about the sixth hour.

rsv@John:4:9 @ The Samaritan woman said to him, "How is it that you, a Jew, ask a drink of me, a woman of Samar'ia?" For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.

rsv@John:4:10 @ Jesus answered her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, `Give me a drink,' you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water."

rsv@John:4:27 @ Just then his disciples came. They marveled that he was talking with a woman, but none said, "What do you wish?" or, "Why are you talking with her?"

rsv@John:4:33 @ So the disciples said to one another, "Has any one brought him food?"

rsv@John:4:40 @ So when the Samaritans came to him, they asked him to stay with them; and he stayed there two days.

rsv@John:4:44 @ For Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.

rsv@John:4:45 @ So when he came to Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him, having seen all that he had done in Jerusalem at the feast, for they too had gone to the feast.

rsv@John:4:46 @ So he came again to Cana in Galilee, where he had made the water wine. And at Caper'na-um there was an official whose son was ill.

rsv@John:4:47 @ When he heard that Jesus had come from Judea to Galilee, he went and begged him to come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death.

rsv@John:4:51 @ As he was going down, his servants met him and told him that his son was living.

rsv@John:4:52 @ So he asked them the hour when he began to mend, and they said to him, "Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him."

rsv@John:4:53 @ The father knew that was the hour when Jesus had said to him, "Your son will live"; and he himself believed, and all his household.

rsv@John:4:54 @ This was now the second sign that Jesus did when he had come from Judea to Galilee.

rsv@John:5:1 @ After this there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

rsv@John:5:2 @ Now there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate a pool, in Hebrew called Beth-za'tha, which has five porticoes.

rsv@John:5:4 @ One man was there, who had been ill for thirty-eight years.

rsv@John:5:8 @ And at once the man was healed, and he took up his pallet and walked. Now that day was the sabbath.

rsv@John:5:9 @ So the Jews said to the man who was cured, "It is the sabbath, it is not lawful for you to carry your pallet."

rsv@John:5:11 @ They asked him, "Who is the man who said to you, `Take up your pallet, and walk'?"

rsv@John:5:12 @ Now the man who had been healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, as there was a crowd in the place.

rsv@John:5:14 @ The man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had healed him.

rsv@John:5:15 @ And this was why the Jews persecuted Jesus, because he did this on the sabbath.

rsv@John:5:17 @ This was why the Jews sought all the more to kill him, because he not only broke the sabbath but also called God his Father, making himself equal with God.

rsv@John:5:20 @ For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whom he will.

rsv@John:5:21 @ The Father judges no one, but has given all judgment to the Son,

rsv@John:5:22 @ that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.

rsv@John:5:23 @ Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears my word and believes him who sent me, has eternal life; he does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.

rsv@John:5:25 @ For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself,

rsv@John:5:26 @ and has given him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of man.

rsv@John:5:29 @ "I can do nothing on my own authority; as I hear, I judge; and my judgment is just, because I seek not my own will but the will of him who sent me.

rsv@John:5:32 @ You sent to John, and he has borne witness to the truth.

rsv@John:5:34 @ He was a burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light.

rsv@John:5:35 @ But the testimony which I have is greater than that of John; for the works which the Father has granted me to accomplish, these very works which I am doing, bear me witness that the Father has sent me.

rsv@John:5:36 @ And the Father who sent me has himself borne witness to me. His voice you have never heard, his form you have never seen;

rsv@John:5:37 @ and you do not have his word abiding in you, for you do not believe him whom he has sent.

rsv@John:6:1 @ After this Jesus went to the other side of the Sea of Galilee, which is the Sea of Tiber'i-as.

rsv@John:6:2 @ And a multitude followed him, because they saw the signs which he did on those who were diseased.

rsv@John:6:4 @ Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand.

rsv@John:6:5 @ Lifting up his eyes, then, and seeing that a multitude was coming to him, Jesus said to Philip, "How are we to buy bread, so that these people may eat?"

rsv@John:6:9 @ "There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two fish; but what are they among so many?"

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

rsv@John:6:11 @ Jesus then took the loaves, and when he had given thanks, he distributed them to those who were seated; so also the fish, as much as they wanted.

rsv@John:6:13 @ So they gathered them up and filled twelve baskets with fragments from the five barley loaves, left by those who had eaten.

rsv@John:6:17 @ got into a boat, and started across the sea to Caper'na-um. It was now dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them.

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

rsv@John:6:21 @ Then they were glad to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land to which they were going.

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

rsv@John:6:24 @ So when the people saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they themselves got into the boats and went to Caper'na-um, seeking Jesus.

rsv@John:6:27 @ Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to eternal life, which the Son of man will give to you; for on him has God the Father set his seal."

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

rsv@John:6:31 @ Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, `He gave them bread from heaven to eat.'"

rsv@John:6:32 @ Jesus then said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven; my Father gives you the true bread from heaven.

rsv@John:6:37 @ All that the Father gives me will come to me; and him who comes to me I will not cast out.

rsv@John:6:39 @ and this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but raise it up at the last day.

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

rsv@John:6:44 @ No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day.

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

rsv@John:6:46 @ Not that any one has seen the Father except him who is from God; he has seen the Father.

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

rsv@John:6:54 @ he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.

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

rsv@John:6:58 @ This is the bread which came down from heaven, not such as the fathers ate and died; he who eats this bread will live for ever."

rsv@John:6:59 @ This he said in the synagogue, as he taught at Caper'na-um.

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

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

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

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

rsv@John:7:6 @ Jesus said to them, "My time has not yet come, but your time is always here.

rsv@John:7:8 @ Go to the feast yourselves; I am not going up to this feast, for my time has not yet fully come."

rsv@John:7:10 @ But after his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly but in private.

rsv@John:7:11 @ The Jews were looking for him at the feast, and saying, "Where is he?"

rsv@John:7:12 @ And there was much muttering about him among the people. While some said, "He is a good man," others said, "No, he is leading the people astray."

rsv@John:7:14 @ About the middle of the feast Jesus went up into the temple and taught.

rsv@John:7:15 @ The Jews marveled at it, saying, "How is it that this man has learning, when he has never studied?"

rsv@John:7:28 @ So Jesus proclaimed, as he taught in the temple, "You know me, and you know where I come from? But I have not come of my own accord; he who sent me is true, and him you do not know.

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

rsv@John:7:37 @ On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and proclaimed, "If any one thirst, let him come to me and drink.

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

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

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

rsv@John:7:43 @ So there was a division among the people over him.

rsv@John:7:47 @ The Pharisees answered them, "Are you led astray, you also?

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

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

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

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

rsv@John:8:10 @ Jesus looked up and said to her, "Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?"

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

rsv@John:8:28 @ So Jesus said, "When you have lifted up the Son of man, then you will know that I am he, and that I do nothing on my own authority but speak thus as the Father taught me.

rsv@John:8:29 @ And he who sent me is with me; he has not left me alone, for I always do what is pleasing to him."

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

rsv@John:8:40 @ but now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth which I heard from God; this is not what Abraham did.

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

rsv@John:8:47 @ He who is of God hears the words of God; the reason why you do not hear them is that you are not of God."

rsv@John:8:52 @ The Jews said to him, "Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died, as did the prophets; and you say, `If any one keeps my word, he will never taste death.'

rsv@John:8:56 @ Your father Abraham rejoiced that he was to see my day; he saw it and was glad."

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

rsv@John:9:1 @ As he passed by, he saw a man blind from his birth.

rsv@John:9:2 @ And his disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?"

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

rsv@John:9:5 @ As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world."

rsv@John:9:6 @ As he said this, he spat on the ground and made clay of the spittle and anointed the man's eyes with the clay,

rsv@John:9:7 @ saying to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Silo'am" (which means Sent). So he went and washed and came back seeing.

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

rsv@John:9:11 @ He answered, "The man called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes and said to me, `Go to Silo'am and wash'; so I went and washed and received my sight."

rsv@John:9:14 @ Now it was a sabbath day when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes.

rsv@John:9:15 @ The Pharisees again asked him how he had received his sight. And he said to them, "He put clay on my eyes, and I washed, and I see."

rsv@John:9:16 @ Some of the Pharisees said, "This man is not from God, for he does not keep the sabbath." But others said, "How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?" There was a division among them.

rsv@John:9:17 @ So they again said to the blind man, "What do you say about him, since he has opened your eyes?" He said, "He is a prophet."

rsv@John:9:19 @ and asked them, "Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then does he now see?"

rsv@John:9:20 @ His parents answered, "We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;

rsv@John:9:21 @ but how he now sees we do not know, nor do we know who opened his eyes. Ask him; he is of age, he will speak for himself."

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

rsv@John:9:23 @ Therefore his parents said, "He is of age, ask him."

rsv@John:9:25 @ He answered, "Whether he is a sinner, I do not know; one thing I know, that though I was blind, now I see."

rsv@John:9:29 @ We know that God has spoken to Moses, but as for this man, we do not know where he comes from."

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

rsv@John:9:34 @ They answered him, "You were born in utter sin, and would you teach us?" And they cast him out.

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

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

rsv@John:10:6 @ This figure Jesus used with them, but they did not understand what he was saying to them.

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

rsv@John:10:15 @ as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep.

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

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

rsv@John:10:20 @ Many of them said, "He has a demon, and he is mad; why listen to him?"

rsv@John:10:21 @ Others said, "These are not the sayings of one who has a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?"

rsv@John:10:22 @ It was the feast of the Dedication at Jerusalem;

rsv@John:10:23 @ it was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the portico of Solomon.

rsv@John:10:29 @ My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand.

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

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

rsv@John:10:41 @ And many came to him; and they said, "John did no sign, but everything that John said about this man was true."

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

rsv@John:11:2 @ It was Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Laz'arus was ill.

rsv@John:11:6 @ So when he heard that he was ill, he stayed two days longer in the place where he was.

rsv@John:11:11 @ Thus he spoke, and then he said to them, "Our friend Laz'arus has fallen asleep, but I go to awake him out of sleep."

rsv@John:11:12 @ The disciples said to him, "Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover."

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

rsv@John:11:16 @ Thomas, called the Twin, said to his fellow disciples, "Let us also go, that we may die with him."

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

rsv@John:11:20 @ When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, while Mary sat in the house.

rsv@John:11:22 @ And even now I know that whatever you ask from God, God will give you."

rsv@John:11:24 @ Martha said to him, "I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day."

rsv@John:11:30 @ Now Jesus had not yet come to the village, but was still in the place where Martha had met him.

rsv@John:11:31 @ When the Jews who were with her in the house, consoling her, saw Mary rise quickly and go out, they followed her, supposing that she was going to the tomb to weep there.

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

rsv@John:11:33 @ When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in spirit and troubled;

rsv@John:11:38 @ Then Jesus, deeply moved again, came to the tomb; it was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.

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

rsv@John:11:41 @ So they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted up his eyes and said, "Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.

rsv@John:11:49 @ But one of them, Ca'iaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, "You know nothing at all;

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

rsv@John:11:56 @ They were looking for Jesus and saying to one another as they stood in the temple, "What do you think? That he will not come to the feast?"

rsv@John:11:57 @ Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if any one knew where he was, he should let them know, so that they might arrest him.

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

rsv@John:12:2 @ There they made him a supper; Martha served, and Laz'arus was one of those at table with him.

rsv@John:12:3 @ Mary took a pound of costly ointment of pure nard and anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped his feet with her hair; and the house was filled with the fragrance of the ointment.

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

rsv@John:12:5 @ "Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?"

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

rsv@John:12:9 @ When the great crowd of the Jews learned that he was there, they came, not only on account of Jesus but also to see Laz'arus, whom he had raised from the dead.

rsv@John:12:12 @ The next day a great crowd who had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem.

rsv@John:12:14 @ And Jesus found a young ass and sat upon it; as it is written,

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

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

rsv@John:12:18 @ The reason why the crowd went to meet him was that they heard he had done this sign.

rsv@John:12:19 @ The Pharisees then said to one another, "You see that you can do nothing; look, the world has gone after him."

rsv@John:12:20 @ Now among those who went up to worship at the feast were some Greeks.

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

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

rsv@John:12:29 @ The crowd standing by heard it and said that it had thundered. Others said, "An angel has spoken to him."

rsv@John:12:30 @ Jesus answered, "This voice has come for your sake, not for mine.

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

rsv@John:12:33 @ He said this to show by what death he was to die.

rsv@John:12:38 @ it was that the word spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled: "Lord, who has believed our report, and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?"

rsv@John:12:40 @ "He has blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, lest they should see with their eyes and perceive with their heart, and turn for me to heal them."

rsv@John:12:46 @ I have come as light into the world, that whoever believes in me may not remain in darkness.

rsv@John:12:48 @ He who rejects me and does not receive my sayings has a judge; the word that I have spoken will be his judge on the last day.

rsv@John:12:49 @ For I have not spoken on my own authority; the Father who sent me has himself given me commandment what to say and what to speak.

rsv@John:12:50 @ And I know that his commandment is eternal life. What I say, therefore, I say as the Father has bidden me."

rsv@John:13:1 @ Now before the feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart out of this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.

rsv@John:13:2 @ And during supper, when the devil had already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him,

rsv@John:13:3 @ Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he had come from God and was going to God,

rsv@John:13:4 @ rose from supper, laid aside his garments, and girded himself with a towel.

rsv@John:13:5 @ Then he poured water into a basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which he was girded.

rsv@John:13:6 @ He came to Simon Peter; and Peter said to him, "Lord, do you wash my feet?"

rsv@John:13:8 @ Peter said to him, "You shall never wash my feet." Jesus answered him, "If I do not wash you, you have no part in me."

rsv@John:13:10 @ Jesus said to him, "He who has bathed does not need to wash, except for his feet, but he is clean all over; and you are clean, but not every one of you."

rsv@John:13:11 @ For he knew who was to betray him; that was why he said, "You are not all clean."

rsv@John:13:12 @ When he had washed their feet, and taken his garments, and resumed his place, he said to them, "Do you know what I have done to you?

rsv@John:13:14 @ If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet.

rsv@John:13:15 @ For I have given you an example, that you also should do as I have done to you.

rsv@John:13:16 @ Truly, truly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master; nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him.

rsv@John:13:18 @ I am not speaking of you all; I know whom I have chosen; it is that the scripture may be fulfilled, `He who ate my bread has lifted his heel against me.'

rsv@John:13:21 @ When Jesus had thus spoken, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, "Truly, truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me."

rsv@John:13:23 @ One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was lying close to the breast of Jesus;

rsv@John:13:25 @ So lying thus, close to the breast of Jesus, he said to him, "Lord, who is it?"

rsv@John:13:26 @ Jesus answered, "It is he to whom I shall give this morsel when I have dipped it." So when he had dipped the morsel, he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.

rsv@John:13:29 @ Some thought that, because Judas had the money box, Jesus was telling him, "Buy what we need for the feast"; or, that he should give something to the poor.

rsv@John:13:30 @ So, after receiving the morsel, he immediately went out; and it was night.

rsv@John:13:33 @ Little children, yet a little while I am with you. You will seek me; and as I said to the Jews so now I say to you, `Where I am going you cannot come.'

rsv@John:13:34 @ A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; even as I have loved you, that you also love one another.

rsv@John:14:5 @ Thomas said to him, "Lord, we do not know where you are going; how can we know the way?"

rsv@John:14:9 @ Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you so long, and yet you do not know me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father; how can you say, `Show us the Father'?

rsv@John:14:13 @ Whatever you ask in my name, I will do it, that the Father may be glorified in the Son;

rsv@John:14:14 @ if you ask anything in my name, I will do it.

rsv@John:14:21 @ He who has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me; and he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him."

rsv@John:14:22 @ Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, "Lord, how is it that you will manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?"

rsv@John:14:27 @ Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.

rsv@John:14:30 @ I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming. He has no power over me;

rsv@John:14:31 @ but I do as the Father has commanded me, so that the world may know that I love the Father. Rise, let us go hence.

rsv@John:15:4 @ Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me.

rsv@John:15:6 @ If a man does not abide in me, he is cast forth as a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire and burned.

rsv@John:15:7 @ If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you will, and it shall be done for you.

rsv@John:15:9 @ As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you; abide in my love.

rsv@John:15:10 @ If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love.

rsv@John:15:12 @ "This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.

rsv@John:15:13 @ Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

rsv@John:15:15 @ No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you.

rsv@John:15:16 @ You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide; so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you.

rsv@John:15:18 @ "If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you.

rsv@John:15:20 @ Remember the word that I said to you, `A servant is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted me, they will persecute you; if they kept my word, they will keep yours also.

rsv@John:16:4 @ But I have said these things to you, that when their hour comes you may remember that I told you of them. "I did not say these things to you from the beginning, because I was with you.

rsv@John:16:5 @ But now I am going to him who sent me; yet none of you asks me, `Where are you going?'

rsv@John:16:6 @ But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your hearts.

rsv@John:16:15 @ All that the Father has is mine; therefore I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.

rsv@John:16:19 @ Jesus knew that they wanted to ask him; so he said to them, "Is this what you are asking yourselves, what I meant by saying, `A little while, and you will not see me, and again a little while, and you will see me'?

rsv@John:16:21 @ When a woman is in travail she has sorrow, because her hour has come; but when she is delivered of the child, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a child is born into the world.

rsv@John:16:23 @ In that day you will ask nothing of me. Truly, truly, I say to you, if you ask anything of the Father, he will give it to you in my name.

rsv@John:16:24 @ Hitherto you have asked nothing in my name; ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.

rsv@John:16:26 @ In that day you will ask in my name; and I do not say to you that I shall pray the Father for you;

rsv@John:16:32 @ The hour is coming, indeed it has come, when you will be scattered, every man to his home, and will leave me alone; yet I am not alone, for the Father is with me.

rsv@John:17:1 @ When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes to heaven and said, "Father, the hour has come; glorify thy Son that the Son may glorify thee,

rsv@John:17:2 @ since thou hast given him power over all flesh, to give eternal life to all whom thou hast given him.

rsv@John:17:3 @ And this is eternal life, that they know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent.

rsv@John:17:5 @ and now, Father, glorify thou me in thy own presence with the glory which I had with thee before the world was made.

rsv@John:17:7 @ Now they know that everything that thou hast given me is from thee;

rsv@John:17:9 @ I am praying for them; I am not praying for the world but for those whom thou hast given me, for they are thine;

rsv@John:17:11 @ And now I am no more in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to thee. Holy Father, keep them in thy name, which thou hast given me, that they may be one, even as we are one.

rsv@John:17:12 @ While I was with them, I kept them in thy name, which thou hast given me; I have guarded them, and none of them is lost but the son of perdition, that the scripture might be fulfilled.

rsv@John:17:14 @ I have given them thy word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

rsv@John:17:16 @ They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

rsv@John:17:18 @ As thou didst send me into the world, so I have sent them into the world.

rsv@John:17:21 @ that they may all be one; even as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.

rsv@John:17:22 @ The glory which thou hast given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one,

rsv@John:17:23 @ I in them and thou in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that thou hast sent me and hast loved them even as thou hast loved me.

rsv@John:17:24 @ Father, I desire that they also, whom thou hast given me, may be with me where I am, to behold my glory which thou hast given me in thy love for me before the foundation of the world.

rsv@John:17:25 @ O righteous Father, the world has not known thee, but I have known thee; and these know that thou hast sent me.

rsv@John:17:26 @ I made known to them thy name, and I will make it known, that the love with which thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them."

rsv@John:18:1 @ When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples across the Kidron valley, where there was a garden, which he and his disciples entered.

rsv@John:18:2 @ Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place; for Jesus often met there with his disciples.

rsv@John:18:3 @ So Judas, procuring a band of soldiers and some officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, went there with lanterns and torches and weapons.

rsv@John:18:4 @ Then Jesus, knowing all that was to befall him, came forward and said to them, "Whom do you seek?"

rsv@John:18:5 @ They answered him, "Jesus of Nazareth." Jesus said to them, "I am he." Judas, who betrayed him, was standing with them.

rsv@John:18:7 @ Again he asked them, "Whom do you seek?" And they said, "Jesus of Nazareth."

rsv@John:18:9 @ This was to fulfil the word which he had spoken, "Of those whom thou gavest me I lost not one."

rsv@John:18:10 @ Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest's slave and cut off his right ear. The slave's name was Malchus.

rsv@John:18:11 @ Jesus said to Peter, "Put your sword into its sheath; shall I not drink the cup which the Father has given me?"

rsv@John:18:13 @ First they led him to Annas; for he was the father-in-law of Ca'iaphas, who was high priest that year.

rsv@John:18:14 @ It was Ca'iaphas who had given counsel to the Jews that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.

rsv@John:18:15 @ Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple. As this disciple was known to the high priest, he entered the court of the high priest along with Jesus,

rsv@John:18:16 @ while Peter stood outside at the door. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the maid who kept the door, and brought Peter in.

rsv@John:18:18 @ Now the servants and officers had made a charcoal fire, because it was cold, and they were standing and warming themselves; Peter also was with them, standing and warming himself.

rsv@John:18:21 @ Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard me, what I said to them; they know what I said."

rsv@John:18:24 @ Annas then sent him bound to Ca'iaphas the high priest.

rsv@John:18:25 @ Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said to him, "Are not you also one of his disciples?" He denied it and said, "I am not."

rsv@John:18:26 @ One of the servants of the high priest, a kinsman of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, asked, "Did I not see you in the garden with him?"

rsv@John:18:28 @ Then they led Jesus from the house of Ca'iaphas to the praetorium. It was early. They themselves did not enter the praetorium, so that they might not be defiled, but might eat the passover.

rsv@John:18:32 @ This was to fulfil the word which Jesus had spoken to show by what death he was to die.

rsv@John:18:37 @ Pilate said to him, "So you are a king?" Jesus answered, "You say that I am a king. For this I was born, and for this I have come into the world, to bear witness to the truth. Every one who is of the truth hears my voice."

rsv@John:18:39 @ But you have a custom that I should release one man for you at the Passover; will you have me release for you the King of the Jews?"

rsv@John:18:40 @ They cried out again, "Not this man, but Barab'bas!" Now Barab'bas was a robber.

rsv@John:19:7 @ The Jews answered him, "We have a law, and by that law he ought to die, because he has made himself the Son of God."

rsv@John:19:8 @ When Pilate heard these words, he was the more afraid;

rsv@John:19:10 @ Pilate therefore said to him, "You will not speak to me? Do you not know that I have power to release you, and power to crucify you?"

rsv@John:19:11 @ Jesus answered him, "You would have no power over me unless it had been given you from above; therefore he who delivered me to you has the greater sin."

rsv@John:19:12 @ Upon this Pilate sought to release him, but the Jews cried out, "If you release this man, you are not Caesar's friend; every one who makes himself a king sets himself against Caesar."

rsv@John:19:14 @ Now it was the day of Preparation of the Passover; it was about the sixth hour. He said to the Jews, "Behold your King!"

rsv@John:19:20 @ Many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, and in Greek.

rsv@John:19:23 @ When the soldiers had crucified Jesus they took his garments and made four parts, one for each soldier; also his tunic. But the tunic was without seam, woven from top to bottom;

rsv@John:19:24 @ so they said to one another, "Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it to see whose it shall be." This was to fulfil the scripture, "They parted my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots."

rsv@John:19:25 @ So the soldiers did this. But standing by the cross of Jesus were his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Mag'dalene.

rsv@John:19:28 @ After this Jesus, knowing that all was now finished, said (to fulfil the scripture), "I thirst."

rsv@John:19:31 @ Since it was the day of Preparation, in order to prevent the bodies from remaining on the cross on the sabbath (for that sabbath was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

rsv@John:19:33 @ but when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs.

rsv@John:19:35 @ He who saw it has borne witness--his testimony is true, and he knows that he tells the truth--that you also may believe.

rsv@John:19:38 @ After this Joseph of Arimathe'a, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly, for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave him leave. So he came and took away his body.

rsv@John:19:40 @ They took the body of Jesus, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews.

rsv@John:19:41 @ Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb where no one had ever been laid.

rsv@John:19:42 @ So because of the Jewish day of Preparation, as the tomb was close at hand, they laid Jesus there.

rsv@John:20:1 @ Now on the first day of the week Mary Mag'dalene came to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb.

rsv@John:20:9 @ for as yet they did not know the scripture, that he must rise from the dead.

rsv@John:20:11 @ But Mary stood weeping outside the tomb, and as she wept she stooped to look into the tomb;

rsv@John:20:14 @ Saying this, she turned round and saw Jesus standing, but she did not know that it was Jesus.

rsv@John:20:17 @ Jesus said to her, "Do not hold me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to my brethren and say to them, I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God."

rsv@John:20:21 @ Jesus said to them again, "Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you."

rsv@John:20:24 @ Now Thomas, one of the twelve, called the Twin, was not with them when Jesus came.

rsv@John:20:26 @ Eight days later, his disciples were again in the house, and Thomas was with them. The doors were shut, but Jesus came and stood among them, and said, "Peace be with you."

rsv@John:20:27 @ Then he said to Thomas, "Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side; do not be faithless, but believing."

rsv@John:20:28 @ Thomas answered him, "My Lord and my God!"

rsv@John:21:1 @ After this Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples by the Sea of Tibe'ri-as; and he revealed himself in this way.

rsv@John:21:2 @ Simon Peter, Thomas called the Twin, Nathan'a-el of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zeb'edee, and two others of his disciples were together.

rsv@John:21:4 @ Just as day was breaking, Jesus stood on the beach; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.

rsv@John:21:6 @ He said to them, "Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some." So they cast it, and now they were not able to haul it in, for the quantity of fish.

rsv@John:21:7 @ That disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It is the Lord!" When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his clothes, for he was stripped for work, and sprang into the sea.

rsv@John:21:11 @ So Simon Peter went aboard and hauled the net ashore, full of large fish, a hundred and fifty-three of them; and although there were so many, the net was not torn.

rsv@John:21:12 @ Jesus said to them, "Come and have breakfast." Now none of the disciples dared ask him, "Who are you?" They knew it was the Lord.

rsv@John:21:14 @ This was now the third time that Jesus was revealed to the disciples after he was raised from the dead.

rsv@John:21:15 @ When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I love you." He said to him, "Feed my lambs."

rsv@John:21:17 @ He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, "Do you love me?" And he said to him, "Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you." Jesus said to him, "Feed my sheep.

rsv@John:21:19 @ (This he said to show by what death he was to glorify God.) And after this he said to him, "Follow me."

rsv@John:21:20 @ Peter turned and saw following them the disciple whom Jesus loved, who had lain close to his breast at the supper and had said, "Lord, who is it that is going to betray you?"

rsv@John:21:23 @ The saying spread abroad among the brethren that this disciple was not to die; yet Jesus did not say to him that he was not to die, but, "If it is my will that he remain until I come, what is that to you?"

rsv@John:21:24 @ This is the disciple who is bearing witness to these things, and who has written these things; and we know that his testimony is true.

rsv@Acts:1:2 @ until the day when he was taken up, after he had given commandment through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen.

rsv@Acts:1:3 @ To them he presented himself alive after his passion by many proofs, appearing to them during forty days, and speaking of the kingdom of God.

rsv@Acts:1:6 @ So when they had come together, they asked him, "Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?"

rsv@Acts:1:7 @ He said to them, "It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has fixed by his own authority.

rsv@Acts:1:8 @ But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Sama'ria and to the end of the earth."

rsv@Acts:1:9 @ And when he had said this, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight.

rsv@Acts:1:10 @ And while they were gazing into heaven as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white robes,

rsv@Acts:1:11 @ and said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven."

rsv@Acts:1:13 @ and when they had entered, they went up to the upper room, where they were staying, Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot and Judas the son of James.

rsv@Acts:1:15 @ In those days Peter stood up among the brethren (the company of persons was in all about a hundred and twenty), and said,

rsv@Acts:1:16 @ "Brethren, the scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke beforehand by the mouth of David, concerning Judas who was guide to those who arrested Jesus.

rsv@Acts:1:17 @ For he was numbered among us, and was allotted his share in this ministry.

rsv@Acts:1:19 @ And it became known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the field was called in their language Akel'dama, that is, Field of Blood.)

rsv@Acts:1:22 @ beginning from the baptism of John until the day when he was taken up from us--one of these men must become with us a witness to his resurrection."

rsv@Acts:1:23 @ And they put forward two, Joseph called Barsab'bas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthi'as.

rsv@Acts:1:24 @ And they prayed and said, "Lord, who knowest the hearts of all men, show which one of these two thou hast chosen

rsv@Acts:1:25 @ to take the place in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas turned aside, to go to his own place."

rsv@Acts:1:26 @ And they cast lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthi'as; and he was enrolled with the eleven apostles.

rsv@Acts:2:3 @ And there appeared to them tongues as of fire, distributed and resting on each one of them.

rsv@Acts:2:4 @ And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

rsv@Acts:2:9 @ Par'thians and Medes and E'lamites and residents of Mesopota'mia, Judea and Cappado'cia, Pontus and Asia,

rsv@Acts:2:15 @ For these men are not drunk, as you suppose, since it is only the third hour of the day;

rsv@Acts:2:16 @ but this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:

rsv@Acts:2:17 @ `And in the last days it shall be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams;

rsv@Acts:2:24 @ But God raised him up, having loosed the pangs of death, because it was not possible for him to be held by it.

rsv@Acts:2:26 @ therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced; moreover my flesh will dwell in hope.

rsv@Acts:2:28 @ Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou wilt make me full of gladness with thy presence.'

rsv@Acts:2:45 @ and they sold their possessions and goods and distributed them to all, as any had need.

rsv@Acts:3:2 @ And a man lame from birth was being carried, whom they laid daily at that gate of the temple which is called Beautiful to ask alms of those who entered the temple.

rsv@Acts:3:3 @ Seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, he asked for alms.

rsv@Acts:5:37 @ After him Judas the Galilean arose in the days of the census and drew away some of the people after him; he also perished, and all who followed him were scattered.

rsv@Acts:6:1 @ Now in these days when the disciples were increasing in number, the Hellenists murmured against the Hebrews because their widows were neglected in the daily distribution.

rsv@Acts:6:5 @ And what they said pleased the whole multitude, and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, and Philip, and Proch'orus, and Nica'nor, and Ti'mon, and Par'menas, and Nicola'us, a proselyte of Antioch.

rsv@Acts:6:7 @ And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests were obedient to the faith.

rsv@Acts:6:9 @ Then some of those who belonged to the synagogue of the Freedmen (as it was called), and of the Cyre'nians, and of the Alexandrians, and of those from Cili'cia and Asia, arose and disputed with Stephen.

rsv@Acts:6:11 @ Then they secretly instigated men, who said, "We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses and God."

rsv@Acts:7:21 @ and when he was exposed, Pharaoh's daughter adopted him and brought him up as her own son.

rsv@Acts:7:22 @ And Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and he was mighty in his words and deeds.

rsv@Acts:7:23 @ "When he was forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren, the sons of Israel.

rsv@Acts:7:25 @ He supposed that his brethren understood that God was giving them deliverance by his hand, but they did not understand.

rsv@Acts:7:27 @ But the man who was wronging his neighbor thrust him aside, saying, `Who made you a ruler and a judge over us?

rsv@Acts:7:28 @ Do you want to kill me as you killed the Egyptian yesterday?'

rsv@Acts:7:35 @ "This Moses whom they refused, saying, `Who made you a ruler and a judge?' God sent as both ruler and deliverer by the hand of the angel that appeared to him in the bush.

rsv@Acts:7:38 @ This is he who was in the congregation in the wilderness with the angel who spoke to him at Mount Sinai, and with our fathers; and he received living oracles to give to us.

rsv@Acts:7:58 @ Then they cast him out of the city and stoned him; and the witnesses laid down their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul.

rsv@Acts:7:59 @ And as they were stoning Stephen, he prayed, "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit."

rsv@Acts:7:60 @ And he knelt down and cried with a loud voice, "Lord, do not hold this sin against them." And when he had said this, he fell asleep.

rsv@Acts:8:1 @ And Saul was consenting to his death. And on that day a great persecution arose against the church in Jerusalem; and they were all scattered throughout the region of Judea and Sama'ria, except the apostles.

rsv@Acts:8:3 @ But Saul was ravaging the church, and entering house after house, he dragged off men and women and committed them to prison.

rsv@Acts:8:6 @ And the multitudes with one accord gave heed to what was said by Philip, when they heard him and saw the signs which he did.

rsv@Acts:8:8 @ So there was much joy in that city.

rsv@Acts:8:9 @ But there was a man named Simon who had previously practiced magic in the city and amazed the nation of Sama'ria, saying that he himself was somebody great.

rsv@Acts:8:10 @ They all gave heed to him, from the least to the greatest, saying, "This man is that power of God which is called Great."

rsv@Acts:8:12 @ But when they believed Philip as he preached good news about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.

rsv@Acts:8:13 @ Even Simon himself believed, and after being baptized he continued with Philip. And seeing signs and great miracles performed, he was amazed.

rsv@Acts:8:18 @ Now when Simon saw that the Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles' hands, he offered them money,

rsv@Acts:8:27 @ And he rose and went. And behold, an Ethiopian, a eunuch, a minister of the Can'dace, queen of the Ethiopians, in charge of all her treasure, had come to Jerusalem to worship

rsv@Acts:8:28 @ and was returning; seated in his chariot, he was reading the prophet Isaiah.

rsv@Acts:8:30 @ So Philip ran to him, and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and asked, "Do you understand what you are reading?"

rsv@Acts:8:32 @ Now the passage of the scripture which he was reading was this: "As a sheep led to the slaughter or a lamb before its shearer is dumb, so he opens not his mouth.

rsv@Acts:8:33 @ In his humiliation justice was denied him. Who can describe his generation? For his life is taken up from the earth."

rsv@Acts:8:36 @ And as they went along the road they came to some water, and the eunuch said, "See, here is water! What is to prevent my being baptized?"

rsv@Acts:8:39 @ But Philip was found at Azo'tus, and passing on he preached the gospel to all the towns till he came to Caesare'a.

rsv@Acts:9:2 @ and asked him for letters to the synagogues at Damascus, so that if he found any belonging to the Way, men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.

rsv@Acts:9:3 @ Now as he journeyed he approached Damascus, and suddenly a light from heaven flashed about him.

rsv@Acts:9:8 @ Saul arose from the ground; and when his eyes were opened, he could see nothing; so they led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus.

rsv@Acts:9:9 @ And for three days he was without sight, and neither ate nor drank.

rsv@Acts:9:10 @ Now there was a disciple at Damascus named Anani'as. The Lord said to him in a vision, "Anani'as." And he said, "Here I am, Lord."

rsv@Acts:9:11 @ And the Lord said to him, "Rise and go to the street called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for a man of Tarsus named Saul; for behold, he is praying,

rsv@Acts:9:12 @ and he has seen a man named Anani'as come in and lay his hands on him so that he might regain his sight."

rsv@Acts:9:13 @ But Anani'as answered, "Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he has done to thy saints at Jerusalem;

rsv@Acts:9:14 @ and here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call upon thy name."

rsv@Acts:9:17 @ So Anani'as departed and entered the house. And laying his hands on him he said, "Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus who appeared to you on the road by which you came, has sent me that you may regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit."

rsv@Acts:9:18 @ And immediately something like scales fell from his eyes and he regained his sight. Then he rose and was baptized,

rsv@Acts:9:19 @ and took food and was strengthened. For several days he was with the disciples at Damascus.

rsv@Acts:9:21 @ And all who heard him were amazed, and said, "Is not this the man who made havoc in Jerusalem of those who called on this name? And he has come here for this purpose, to bring them bound before the chief priests."

rsv@Acts:9:22 @ But Saul increased all the more in strength, and confounded the Jews who lived in Damascus by proving that Jesus was the Christ.

rsv@Acts:9:23 @ When many days had passed, the Jews plotted to kill him,

rsv@Acts:9:25 @ but his disciples took him by night and let him down over the wall, lowering him in a basket.

rsv@Acts:9:26 @ And when he had come to Jerusalem he attempted to join the disciples; and they were all afraid of him, for they did not believe that he was a disciple.

rsv@Acts:9:27 @ But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and declared to them how on the road he had seen the Lord, who spoke to him, and how at Damascus he had preached boldly in the name of Jesus.

rsv@Acts:9:31 @ So the church throughout all Judea and Galilee and Sama'ria had peace and was built up; and walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit it was multiplied.

rsv@Acts:9:32 @ Now as Peter went here and there among them all, he came down also to the saints that lived at Lydda.

rsv@Acts:9:33 @ There he found a man named Aene'as, who had been bedridden for eight years and was paralyzed.

rsv@Acts:9:34 @ And Peter said to him, "Aene'as, Jesus Christ heals you; rise and make your bed." And immediately he rose.

rsv@Acts:9:36 @ Now there was at Joppa a disciple named Tabitha, which means Dorcas. She was full of good works and acts of charity.

rsv@Acts:9:37 @ In those days she fell sick and died; and when they had washed her, they laid her in an upper room.

rsv@Acts:9:38 @ Since Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to him entreating him, "Please come to us without delay."

rsv@Acts:9:39 @ So Peter rose and went with them. And when he had come, they took him to the upper room. All the widows stood beside him weeping, and showing tunics and other garments which Dorcas made while she was with them.

rsv@Acts:10:1 @ At Caesare'a there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion of what was known as the Italian Cohort,

rsv@Acts:10:4 @ And he stared at him in terror, and said, "What is it, Lord?" And he said to him, "Your prayers and your alms have ascended as a memorial before God.

rsv@Acts:10:6 @ he is lodging with Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the seaside."

rsv@Acts:10:9 @ The next day, as they were on their journey and coming near the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray, about the sixth hour.

rsv@Acts:10:15 @ And the voice came to him again a second time, "What God has cleansed, you must not call common."

rsv@Acts:10:16 @ This happened three times, and the thing was taken up at once to heaven.

rsv@Acts:10:17 @ Now while Peter was inwardly perplexed as to what the vision which he had seen might mean, behold, the men that were sent by Cornelius, having made inquiry for Simon's house, stood before the gate

rsv@Acts:10:18 @ and called out to ask whether Simon who was called Peter was lodging there.

rsv@Acts:10:19 @ And while Peter was pondering the vision, the Spirit said to him, "Behold, three men are looking for you.

rsv@Acts:10:21 @ And Peter went down to the men and said, "I am the one you are looking for; what is the reason for your coming?"

rsv@Acts:10:22 @ And they said, "Cornelius, a centurion, an upright and God-fearing man, who is well spoken of by the whole Jewish nation, was directed by a holy angel to send for you to come to his house, and to hear what you have to say."

rsv@Acts:10:24 @ And on the following day they entered Caesare'a. Cornelius was expecting them and had called together his kinsmen and close friends.

rsv@Acts:10:27 @ And as he talked with him, he went in and found many persons gathered;

rsv@Acts:10:28 @ and he said to them, "You yourselves know how unlawful it is for a Jew to associate with or to visit any one of another nation; but God has shown me that I should not call any man common or unclean.

rsv@Acts:10:29 @ So when I was sent for, I came without objection. I ask then why you sent for me."

rsv@Acts:10:30 @ And Cornelius said, "Four days ago, about this hour, I was keeping the ninth hour of prayer in my house; and behold, a man stood before me in bright apparel,

rsv@Acts:10:31 @ saying, `Cornelius, your prayer has been heard and your alms have been remembered before God.

rsv@Acts:10:32 @ Send therefore to Joppa and ask for Simon who is called Peter; he is lodging in the house of Simon, a tanner, by the seaside.'

rsv@Acts:10:37 @ the word which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee after the baptism which John preached:

rsv@Acts:10:38 @ how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power; how he went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.

rsv@Acts:10:41 @ not to all the people but to us who were chosen by God as witnesses, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.

rsv@Acts:10:44 @ While Peter was still saying this, the Holy Spirit fell on all who heard the word.

rsv@Acts:10:47 @ "Can any one forbid water for baptizing these people who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?"

rsv@Acts:10:48 @ And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to remain for some days.

rsv@Acts:11:5 @ "I was in the city of Joppa praying; and in a trance I saw a vision, something descending, like a great sheet, let down from heaven by four corners; and it came down to me.

rsv@Acts:11:6 @ Looking at it closely I observed animals and beasts of prey and reptiles and birds of the air.

rsv@Acts:11:8 @ But I said, `No, Lord; for nothing common or unclean has ever entered my mouth.'

rsv@Acts:11:9 @ But the voice answered a second time from heaven, `What God has cleansed you must not call common.'

rsv@Acts:11:10 @ This happened three times, and all was drawn up again into heaven.

rsv@Acts:11:15 @ As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them just as on us at the beginning.

rsv@Acts:11:17 @ If then God gave the same gift to them as he gave to us when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I that I could withstand God?"

rsv@Acts:11:18 @ When they heard this they were silenced. And they glorified God, saying, "Then to the Gentiles also God has granted repentance unto life."

rsv@Acts:11:19 @ Now those who were scattered because of the persecution that arose over Stephen traveled as far as Phoeni'cia and Cyprus and Antioch, speaking the word to none except Jews.

rsv@Acts:11:21 @ And the hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number that believed turned to the Lord.

rsv@Acts:11:22 @ News of this came to the ears of the church in Jerusalem, and they sent Barnabas to Antioch.

rsv@Acts:11:23 @ When he came and saw the grace of God, he was glad; and he exhorted them all to remain faithful to the Lord with steadfast purpose;

rsv@Acts:11:24 @ for he was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. And a large company was added to the Lord.

rsv@Acts:11:25 @ So Barnabas went to Tarsus to look for Saul;

rsv@Acts:11:30 @ and they did so, sending it to the elders by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.

rsv@Acts:12:3 @ and when he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to arrest Peter also. This was during the days of Unleavened Bread.

rsv@Acts:12:4 @ And when he had seized him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four squads of soldiers to guard him, intending after the Passover to bring him out to the people.

rsv@Acts:12:5 @ So Peter was kept in prison; but earnest prayer for him was made to God by the church.

rsv@Acts:12:6 @ The very night when Herod was about to bring him out, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, and sentries before the door were guarding the prison;

rsv@Acts:12:9 @ And he went out and followed him; he did not know that what was done by the angel was real, but thought he was seeing a vision.

rsv@Acts:12:10 @ When they had passed the first and the second guard, they came to the iron gate leading into the city. It opened to them of its own accord, and they went out and passed on through one street; and immediately the angel left him.

rsv@Acts:12:11 @ And Peter came to himself, and said, "Now I am sure that the Lord has sent his angel and rescued me from the hand of Herod and from all that the Jewish people were expecting."

rsv@Acts:12:12 @ When he realized this, he went to the house of Mary, the mother of John whose other name was Mark, where many were gathered together and were praying.

rsv@Acts:12:14 @ Recognizing Peter's voice, in her joy she did not open the gate but ran in and told that Peter was standing at the gate.

rsv@Acts:12:15 @ They said to her, "You are mad." But she insisted that it was so. They said, "It is his angel!"

rsv@Acts:12:18 @ Now when day came, there was no small stir among the soldiers over what had become of Peter.

rsv@Acts:12:20 @ Now Herod was angry with the people of Tyre and Sidon; and they came to him in a body, and having persuaded Blastus, the king's chamberlain, they asked for peace, because their country depended on the king's country for food.

rsv@Acts:12:23 @ Immediately an angel of the Lord smote him, because he did not give God the glory; and he was eaten by worms and died.

rsv@Acts:12:25 @ And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem when they had fulfilled their mission, bringing with them John whose other name was Mark.

rsv@Acts:13:1 @ Now in the church at Antioch there were prophets and teachers, Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyre'ne, Man'a-en a member of the court of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

rsv@Acts:13:2 @ While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, "Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them."

rsv@Acts:13:3 @ Then after fasting and praying they laid their hands on them and sent them off.

rsv@Acts:13:5 @ When they arrived at Sal'amis, they proclaimed the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews. And they had John to assist them.

rsv@Acts:13:6 @ When they had gone through the whole island as far as Paphos, they came upon a certain magician, a Jewish false prophet, named Bar-Jesus.

rsv@Acts:13:7 @ He was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of intelligence, who summoned Barnabas and Saul and sought to hear the word of God.

rsv@Acts:13:8 @ But El'ymas the magician (for that is the meaning of his name) withstood them, seeking to turn away the proconsul from the faith.

rsv@Acts:13:12 @ Then the proconsul believed, when he saw what had occurred, for he was astonished at the teaching of the Lord.

rsv@Acts:13:14 @ but they passed on from Perga and came to Antioch of Pisid'ia. And on the sabbath day they went into the synagogue and sat down.

rsv@Acts:13:19 @ And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them their land as an inheritance, for about four hundred and fifty years.

rsv@Acts:13:21 @ Then they asked for a king; and God gave them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years.

rsv@Acts:13:23 @ Of this man's posterity God has brought to Israel a Savior, Jesus, as he promised.

rsv@Acts:13:25 @ And as John was finishing his course, he said, `What do you suppose that I am? I am not he. No, but after me one is coming, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.'

rsv@Acts:13:33 @ this he has fulfilled to us their children by raising Jesus; as also it is written in the second psalm, `Thou art my Son, today I have begotten thee.'

rsv@Acts:13:34 @ And as for the fact that he raised him from the dead, no more to return to corruption, he spoke in this way, `I will give you the holy and sure blessings of David.'

rsv@Acts:13:36 @ For David, after he had served the counsel of God in his own generation, fell asleep, and was laid with his fathers, and saw corruption;

rsv@Acts:13:42 @ As they went out, the people begged that these things might be told them the next sabbath.

rsv@Acts:13:43 @ And when the meeting of the synagogue broke up, many Jews and devout converts to Judaism followed Paul and Barnabas, who spoke to them and urged them to continue in the grace of God.

rsv@Acts:13:45 @ But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with jealousy, and contradicted what was spoken by Paul, and reviled him.

rsv@Acts:13:46 @ And Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly, saying, "It was necessary that the word of God should be spoken first to you. Since you thrust it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, we turn to the Gentiles.

rsv@Acts:13:47 @ For so the Lord has commanded us, saying, `I have set you to be a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring salvation to the uttermost parts of the earth.'"

rsv@Acts:13:48 @ And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and glorified the word of God; and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.

rsv@Acts:13:50 @ But the Jews incited the devout women of high standing and the leading men of the city, and stirred up persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and drove them out of their district.

rsv@Acts:14:5 @ When an attempt was made by both Gentiles and Jews, with their rulers, to molest them and to stone them,

rsv@Acts:14:8 @ Now at Lystra there was a man sitting, who could not use his feet; he was a cripple from birth, who had never walked.

rsv@Acts:14:12 @ Barnabas they called Zeus, and Paul, because he was the chief speaker, they called Hermes.

rsv@Acts:14:13 @ And the priest of Zeus, whose temple was in front of the city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates and wanted to offer sacrifice with the people.

rsv@Acts:14:14 @ But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard of it, they tore their garments and rushed out among the multitude, crying,

rsv@Acts:14:16 @ In past generations he allowed all the nations to walk in their own ways;

rsv@Acts:14:17 @ yet he did not leave himself without witness, for he did good and gave you from heaven rains and fruitful seasons, satisfying your hearts with food and gladness."

rsv@Acts:14:19 @ But Jews came there from Antioch and Ico'nium; and having persuaded the people, they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was dead.

rsv@Acts:14:20 @ But when the disciples gathered about him, he rose up and entered the city; and on the next day he went on with Barnabas to Derbe.

rsv@Acts:14:23 @ And when they had appointed elders for them in every church, with prayer and fasting they committed them to the Lord in whom they believed.

rsv@Acts:14:24 @ Then they passed through Pisid'ia, and came to Pamphyl'ia.

rsv@Acts:15:2 @ And when Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and debate with them, Paul and Barnabas and some of the others were appointed to go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and the elders about this question.

rsv@Acts:15:3 @ So, being sent on their way by the church, they passed through both Phoeni'cia and Sama'ria, reporting the conversion of the Gentiles, and they gave great joy to all the brethren.

rsv@Acts:15:14 @ Simeon has related how God first visited the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name.

rsv@Acts:15:15 @ And with this the words of the prophets agree, as it is written,

rsv@Acts:15:16 @ `After this I will return, and I will rebuild the dwelling of David, which has fallen; I will rebuild its ruins, and I will set it up,

rsv@Acts:15:21 @ For from early generations Moses has had in every city those who preach him, for he is read every sabbath in the synagogues."

rsv@Acts:15:22 @ Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole church, to choose men from among them and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas. They sent Judas called Barsab'bas, and Silas, leading men among the brethren,

rsv@Acts:15:32 @ And Judas and Silas, who were themselves prophets, exhorted the brethren with many words and strengthened them.

rsv@Acts:15:34 @ But Paul and Barnabas remained in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.

rsv@Acts:15:36 @ And Barnabas wanted to take with them John called Mark.

rsv@Acts:15:38 @ And there arose a sharp contention, so that they separated from each other; Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed away to Cyprus,

rsv@Acts:15:39 @ but Paul chose Silas and departed, being commended by the brethren to the grace of the Lord.

rsv@Acts:16:1 @ And he came also to Derbe and to Lystra. A disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewish woman who was a believer; but his father was a Greek.

rsv@Acts:16:2 @ He was well spoken of by the brethren at Lystra and Ico'nium.

rsv@Acts:16:3 @ Paul wanted Timothy to accompany him; and he took him and circumcised him because of the Jews that were in those places, for they all knew that his father was a Greek.

rsv@Acts:16:4 @ As they went on their way through the cities, they delivered to them for observance the decisions which had been reached by the apostles and elders who were at Jerusalem.

rsv@Acts:16:5 @ So the churches were strengthened in the faith, and they increased in numbers daily.

rsv@Acts:16:6 @ And they went through the region of Phry'gia and Galatia, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia.

rsv@Acts:16:8 @ so, passing by My'sia, they went down to Tro'as.

rsv@Acts:16:9 @ And a vision appeared to Paul in the night: a man of Macedo'nia was standing beseeching him and saying, "Come over to Macedo'nia and help us."

rsv@Acts:16:11 @ Setting sail therefore from Tro'as, we made a direct voyage to Sam'othrace, and the following day to Ne-ap'olis,

rsv@Acts:16:13 @ and on the sabbath day we went outside the gate to the riverside, where we supposed there was a place of prayer; and we sat down and spoke to the women who had come together.

rsv@Acts:16:14 @ One who heard us was a woman named Lydia, from the city of Thyati'ra, a seller of purple goods, who was a worshiper of God. The Lord opened her heart to give heed to what was said by Paul.

rsv@Acts:16:15 @ And when she was baptized, with her household, she besought us, saying, "If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come to my house and stay." And she prevailed upon us.

rsv@Acts:16:16 @ As we were going to the place of prayer, we were met by a slave girl who had a spirit of divination and brought her owners much gain by soothsaying.

rsv@Acts:16:18 @ And this she did for many days. But Paul was annoyed, and turned and said to the spirit, "I charge you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her." And it came out that very hour.

rsv@Acts:16:19 @ But when her owners saw that their hope of gain was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the market place before the rulers;

rsv@Acts:16:24 @ Having received this charge, he put them into the inner prison and fastened their feet in the stocks.

rsv@Acts:16:25 @ But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them,

rsv@Acts:16:26 @ and suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and every one's fetters were unfastened.

rsv@Acts:16:27 @ When the jailer woke and saw that the prison doors were open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.

rsv@Acts:16:29 @ And he called for lights and rushed in, and trembling with fear he fell down before Paul and Silas,

rsv@Acts:16:33 @ And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their wounds, and he was baptized at once, with all his family.

rsv@Acts:16:35 @ But when it was day, the magistrates sent the police, saying, "Let those men go."

rsv@Acts:16:37 @ But Paul said to them, "They have beaten us publicly, uncondemned, men who are Roman citizens, and have thrown us into prison; and do they now cast us out secretly? No! let them come themselves and take us out."

rsv@Acts:16:39 @ so they came and apologized to them. And they took them out and asked them to leave the city.

rsv@Acts:17:1 @ Now when they had passed through Amphip'olis and Apollo'nia, they came to Thessaloni'ca, where there was a synagogue of the Jews.

rsv@Acts:17:2 @ And Paul went in, as was his custom, and for three weeks he argued with them from the scriptures,

rsv@Acts:17:3 @ explaining and proving that it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead, and saying, "This Jesus, whom I proclaim to you, is the Christ."

rsv@Acts:17:4 @ And some of them were persuaded, and joined Paul and Silas; as did a great many of the devout Greeks and not a few of the leading women.

rsv@Acts:17:5 @ But the Jews were jealous, and taking some wicked fellows of the rabble, they gathered a crowd, set the city in an uproar, and attacked the house of Jason, seeking to bring them out to the people.

rsv@Acts:17:6 @ And when they could not find them, they dragged Jason and some of the brethren before the city authorities, crying, "These men who have turned the world upside down have come here also,

rsv@Acts:17:7 @ and Jason has received them; and they are all acting against the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus."

rsv@Acts:17:9 @ And when they had taken security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.

rsv@Acts:17:10 @ The brethren immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Beroe'a; and when they arrived they went into the Jewish synagogue.

rsv@Acts:17:12 @ Many of them therefore believed, with not a few Greek women of high standing as well as men.

rsv@Acts:17:13 @ But when the Jews of Thessaloni'ca learned that the word of God was proclaimed by Paul at Beroe'a also, they came there too, stirring up and inciting the crowds.

rsv@Acts:17:14 @ Then the brethren immediately sent Paul off on his way to the sea, but Silas and Timothy remained there.

rsv@Acts:17:15 @ Those who conducted Paul brought him as far as Athens; and receiving a command for Silas and Timothy to come to him as soon as possible, they departed.

rsv@Acts:17:16 @ Now while Paul was waiting for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him as he saw that the city was full of idols.

rsv@Acts:17:23 @ For as I passed along, and observed the objects of your worship, I found also an altar with this inscription, `To an unknown god.' What therefore you worship as unknown, this I proclaim to you.

rsv@Acts:17:25 @ nor is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives to all men life and breath and everything.

rsv@Acts:17:28 @ for `In him we live and move and have our being'; as even some of your poets have said, `For we are indeed his offspring.'

rsv@Acts:17:31 @ because he has fixed a day on which he will judge the world in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed, and of this he has given assurance to all men by raising him from the dead."

rsv@Acts:18:3 @ and because he was of the same trade he stayed with them, and they worked, for by trade they were tentmakers.

rsv@Acts:18:5 @ When Silas and Timothy arrived from Macedo'nia, Paul was occupied with preaching, testifying to the Jews that the Christ was Jesus.

rsv@Acts:18:7 @ And he left there and went to the house of a man named Titius Justus, a worshiper of God; his house was next door to the synagogue.

rsv@Acts:18:12 @ But when Gallio was proconsul of Acha'ia, the Jews made a united attack upon Paul and brought him before the tribunal,

rsv@Acts:18:14 @ But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, "If it were a matter of wrongdoing or vicious crime, I should have reason to bear with you, O Jews;

rsv@Acts:18:20 @ When they asked him to stay for a longer period, he declined;

rsv@Acts:18:24 @ Now a Jew named Apol'los, a native of Alexandria, came to Ephesus. He was an eloquent man, well versed in the scriptures.

rsv@Acts:18:28 @ for he powerfully confuted the Jews in public, showing by the scriptures that the Christ was Jesus.

rsv@Acts:19:1 @ While Apol'los was at Corinth, Paul passed through the upper country and came to Ephesus. There he found some disciples.

rsv@Acts:19:4 @ And Paul said, "John baptized with the baptism of repentance, telling the people to believe in the one who was to come after him, that is, Jesus."

rsv@Acts:19:10 @ This continued for two years, so that all the residents of Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks.

rsv@Acts:19:12 @ so that handkerchiefs or aprons were carried away from his body to the sick, and diseases left them and the evil spirits came out of them.

rsv@Acts:19:16 @ And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, mastered all of them, and overpowered them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.

rsv@Acts:19:17 @ And this became known to all residents of Ephesus, both Jews and Greeks; and fear fell upon them all; and the name of the Lord Jesus was extolled.

rsv@Acts:19:21 @ Now after these events Paul resolved in the Spirit to pass through Macedo'nia and Acha'ia and go to Jerusalem, saying, "After I have been there, I must also see Rome."

rsv@Acts:19:22 @ And having sent into Macedo'nia two of his helpers, Timothy and Eras'tus, he himself stayed in Asia for a while.

rsv@Acts:19:26 @ And you see and hear that not only at Ephesus but almost throughout all Asia this Paul has persuaded and turned away a considerable company of people, saying that gods made with hands are not gods.

rsv@Acts:19:27 @ And there is danger not only that this trade of ours may come into disrepute but also that the temple of the great goddess Ar'temis may count for nothing, and that she may even be deposed from her magnificence, she whom all Asia and the world worship."

rsv@Acts:19:29 @ So the city was filled with the confusion; and they rushed together into the theater, dragging with them Ga'ius and Aristar'chus, Macedo'nians who were Paul's companions in travel.

rsv@Acts:19:32 @ Now some cried one thing, some another; for the assembly was in confusion, and most of them did not know why they had come together.

rsv@Acts:19:34 @ But when they recognized that he was a Jew, for about two hours they all with one voice cried out, "Great is Ar'temis of the Ephesians!"

rsv@Acts:19:36 @ Seeing then that these things cannot be contradicted, you ought to be quiet and do nothing rash.

rsv@Acts:19:37 @ For you have brought these men here who are neither sacrilegious nor blasphemers of our goddess.

rsv@Acts:19:39 @ But if you seek anything further, it shall be settled in the regular assembly.

rsv@Acts:19:41 @ And when he had said this, he dismissed the assembly.

rsv@Acts:20:1 @ After the uproar ceased, Paul sent for the disciples and having exhorted them took leave of them and departed for Macedo'nia.

rsv@Acts:20:3 @ There he spent three months, and when a plot was made against him by the Jews as he was about to set sail for Syria, he determined to return through Macedo'nia.

rsv@Acts:20:4 @ Sop'ater of Beroe'a, the son of Pyrrhus, accompanied him; and of the Thessalo'nians, Aristar'chus and Secun'dus; and Ga'ius of Derbe, and Timothy; and the Asians, Tych'icus and Troph'imus.

rsv@Acts:20:5 @ These went on and were waiting for us at Tro'as,

rsv@Acts:20:6 @ but we sailed away from Philip'pi after the days of Unleavened Bread, and in five days we came to them at Tro'as, where we stayed for seven days.

rsv@Acts:20:9 @ And a young man named Eu'tychus was sitting in the window. He sank into a deep sleep as Paul talked still longer; and being overcome by sleep, he fell down from the third story and was taken up dead.

rsv@Acts:20:13 @ But going ahead to the ship, we set sail for Assos, intending to take Paul aboard there; for so he had arranged, intending himself to go by land.

rsv@Acts:20:14 @ And when he met us at Assos, we took him on board and came to Mityle'ne.

rsv@Acts:20:16 @ For Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus, so that he might not have to spend time in Asia; for he was hastening to be at Jerusalem, if possible, on the day of Pentecost.

rsv@Acts:20:18 @ And when they came to him, he said to them: "You yourselves know how I lived among you all the time from the first day that I set foot in Asia,

rsv@Acts:20:20 @ how I did not shrink from declaring to you anything that was profitable, and teaching you in public and from house to house,

rsv@Acts:20:24 @ But I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may accomplish my course and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.

rsv@Acts:20:28 @ Take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to care for the church of God which he obtained with the blood of his own Son.

rsv@Acts:20:31 @ Therefore be alert, remembering that for three years I did not cease night or day to admonish every one with tears.

rsv@Acts:21:3 @ When we had come in sight of Cyprus, leaving it on the left we sailed to Syria, and landed at Tyre; for there the ship was to unload its cargo.

rsv@Acts:21:8 @ On the morrow we departed and came to Caesare'a; and we entered the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, and stayed with him.

rsv@Acts:21:14 @ And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased and said, "The will of the Lord be done."

rsv@Acts:21:16 @ And some of the disciples from Caesare'a went with us, bringing us to the house of Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we should lodge.

rsv@Acts:21:25 @ But as for the Gentiles who have believed, we have sent a letter with our judgment that they should abstain from what has been sacrificed to idols and from blood and from what is strangled and from unchastity."

rsv@Acts:21:27 @ When the seven days were almost completed, the Jews from Asia, who had seen him in the temple, stirred up all the crowd, and laid hands on him,

rsv@Acts:21:28 @ crying out, "Men of Israel, help! This is the man who is teaching men everywhere against the people and the law and this place; moreover he also brought Greeks into the temple, and he has defiled this holy place."

rsv@Acts:21:30 @ Then all the city was aroused, and the people ran together; they seized Paul and dragged him out of the temple, and at once the gates were shut.

rsv@Acts:21:31 @ And as they were trying to kill him, word came to the tribune of the cohort that all Jerusalem was in confusion.

rsv@Acts:21:33 @ Then the tribune came up and arrested him, and ordered him to be bound with two chains. He inquired who he was and what he had done.

rsv@Acts:21:34 @ Some in the crowd shouted one thing, some another; and as he could not learn the facts because of the uproar, he ordered him to be brought into the barracks.

rsv@Acts:21:35 @ And when he came to the steps, he was actually carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the crowd;

rsv@Acts:21:37 @ As Paul was about to be brought into the barracks, he said to the tribune, "May I say something to you?" And he said, "Do you know Greek?

rsv@Acts:21:38 @ Are you not the Egyptian, then, who recently stirred up a revolt and led the four thousand men of the Assassins out into the wilderness?"

rsv@Acts:21:40 @ And when he had given him leave, Paul, standing on the steps, motioned with his hand to the people; and when there was a great hush, he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, saying:

rsv@Acts:22:3 @ "I am a Jew, born at Tarsus in Cili'cia, but brought up in this city at the feet of Gama'li-el, educated according to the strict manner of the law of our fathers, being zealous for God as you all are this day.

rsv@Acts:22:5 @ as the high priest and the whole council of elders bear me witness. From them I received letters to the brethren, and I journeyed to Damascus to take those also who were there and bring them in bonds to Jerusalem to be punished.

rsv@Acts:22:6 @ "As I made my journey and drew near to Damascus, about noon a great light from heaven suddenly shone about me.

rsv@Acts:22:9 @ Now those who were with me saw the light but did not hear the voice of the one who was speaking to me.

rsv@Acts:22:10 @ And I said, `What shall I do, Lord?' And the Lord said to me, `Rise, and go into Damascus, and there you will be told all that is appointed for you to do.'

rsv@Acts:22:11 @ And when I could not see because of the brightness of that light, I was led by the hand by those who were with me, and came into Damascus.

rsv@Acts:22:12 @ "And one Anani'as, a devout man according to the law, well spoken of by all the Jews who lived there,

rsv@Acts:22:16 @ And now why do you wait? Rise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on his name.'

rsv@Acts:22:17 @ "When I had returned to Jerusalem and was praying in the temple, I fell into a trance

rsv@Acts:22:18 @ and saw him saying to me, `Make haste and get quickly out of Jerusalem, because they will not accept your testimony about me.'

rsv@Acts:22:20 @ And when the blood of Stephen thy witness was shed, I also was standing by and approving, and keeping the garments of those who killed him.'

rsv@Acts:22:23 @ And as they cried out and waved their garments and threw dust into the air,

rsv@Acts:22:25 @ But when they had tied him up with the thongs, Paul said to the centurion who was standing by, "Is it lawful for you to scourge a man who is a Roman citizen, and uncondemned?"

rsv@Acts:22:28 @ The tribune answered, "I bought this citizenship for a large sum." Paul said, "But I was born a citizen."

rsv@Acts:22:29 @ So those who were about to examine him withdrew from him instantly; and the tribune also was afraid, for he realized that Paul was a Roman citizen and that he had bound him.

rsv@Acts:22:30 @ But on the morrow, desiring to know the real reason why the Jews accused him, he unbound him, and commanded the chief priests and all the council to meet, and he brought Paul down and set him before them.

rsv@Acts:23:2 @ And the high priest Anani'as commanded those who stood by him to strike him on the mouth.

rsv@Acts:23:3 @ Then Paul said to him, "God shall strike you, you whitewashed wall! Are you sitting to judge me according to the law, and yet contrary to the law you order me to be struck?"

rsv@Acts:23:5 @ And Paul said, "I did not know, brethren, that he was the high priest; for it is written, `You shall not speak evil of a ruler of your people.'"

rsv@Acts:23:7 @ And when he had said this, a dissension arose between the Pharisees and the Sad'ducees; and the assembly was divided.

rsv@Acts:23:11 @ The following night the Lord stood by him and said, "Take courage, for as you have testified about me at Jerusalem, so you must bear witness also at Rome."

rsv@Acts:23:12 @ When it was day, the Jews made a plot and bound themselves by an oath neither to eat nor drink till they had killed Paul.

rsv@Acts:23:14 @ And they went to the chief priests and elders, and said, "We have strictly bound ourselves by an oath to taste no food till we have killed Paul.

rsv@Acts:23:15 @ You therefore, along with the council, give notice now to the tribune to bring him down to you, as though you were going to determine his case more exactly. And we are ready to kill him before he comes near."

rsv@Acts:23:17 @ And Paul called one of the centurions and said, "Take this young man to the tribune; for he has something to tell him."

rsv@Acts:23:18 @ So he took him and brought him to the tribune and said, "Paul the prisoner called me and asked me to bring this young man to you, as he has something to say to you."

rsv@Acts:23:19 @ The tribune took him by the hand, and going aside asked him privately, "What is it that you have to tell me?"

rsv@Acts:23:20 @ And he said, "The Jews have agreed to ask you to bring Paul down to the council tomorrow, as though they were going to inquire somewhat more closely about him.

rsv@Acts:23:23 @ Then he called two of the centurions and said, "At the third hour of the night get ready two hundred soldiers with seventy horsemen and two hundred spearmen to go as far as Caesare'a.

rsv@Acts:23:26 @ "Claudius Lys'ias to his Excellency the governor Felix, greeting.

rsv@Acts:23:27 @ This man was seized by the Jews, and was about to be killed by them, when I came upon them with the soldiers and rescued him, having learned that he was a Roman citizen.

rsv@Acts:23:29 @ I found that he was accused about questions of their law, but charged with nothing deserving death or imprisonment.

rsv@Acts:23:30 @ And when it was disclosed to me that there would be a plot against the man, I sent him to you at once, ordering his accusers also to state before you what they have against him."

rsv@Acts:23:34 @ On reading the letter, he asked to what province he belonged. When he learned that he was from Cili'cia

rsv@Acts:24:1 @ And after five days the high priest Anani'as came down with some elders and a spokesman, one Tertul'lus. They laid before the governor their case against Paul;

rsv@Acts:24:2 @ and when he was called, Tertul'lus began to accuse him, saying: "Since through you we enjoy much peace, and since by your provision, most excellent Felix, reforms are introduced on behalf of this nation,

rsv@Acts:24:8 @ The Jews also joined in the charge, affirming that all this was so.

rsv@Acts:24:10 @ As you may ascertain, it is not more than twelve days since I went up to worship at Jerusalem;

rsv@Acts:24:17 @ As I was doing this, they found me purified in the temple, without any crowd or tumult. But some Jews from Asia--

rsv@Acts:24:21 @ But Felix, having a rather accurate knowledge of the Way, put them off, saying, "When Lys'ias the tribune comes down, I will decide your case."

rsv@Acts:24:23 @ After some days Felix came with his wife Drusil'la, who was a Jewess; and he sent for Paul and heard him speak upon faith in Christ Jesus.

rsv@Acts:24:24 @ And as he argued about justice and self-control and future judgment, Felix was alarmed and said, "Go away for the present; when I have an opportunity I will summon you."

rsv@Acts:24:26 @ But when two years had elapsed, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus; and desiring to do the Jews a favor, Felix left Paul in prison.

rsv@Acts:25:3 @ asking as a favor to have the man sent to Jerusalem, planning an ambush to kill him on the way.

rsv@Acts:25:4 @ Festus replied that Paul was being kept at Caesare'a, and that he himself intended to go there shortly.

rsv@Acts:25:10 @ But Paul said, "I am standing before Caesar's tribunal, where I ought to be tried; to the Jews I have done no wrong, as you know very well.

rsv@Acts:25:13 @ Now when some days had passed, Agrippa the king and Berni'ce arrived at Caesare'a to welcome Festus.

rsv@Acts:25:14 @ And as they stayed there many days, Festus laid Paul's case before the king, saying, "There is a man left prisoner by Felix;

rsv@Acts:25:15 @ and when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews gave information about him, asking for sentence against him.

rsv@Acts:25:16 @ I answered them that it was not the custom of the Romans to give up any one before the accused met the accusers face to face, and had opportunity to make his defense concerning the charge laid against him.

rsv@Acts:25:18 @ When the accusers stood up, they brought no charge in his case of such evils as I supposed;

rsv@Acts:25:19 @ but they had certain points of dispute with him about their own superstition and about one Jesus, who was dead, but whom Paul asserted to be alive.

rsv@Acts:25:20 @ Being at a loss how to investigate these questions, I asked whether he wished to go to Jerusalem and be tried there regarding them.

rsv@Acts:25:23 @ So on the morrow Agrippa and Berni'ce came with great pomp, and they entered the audience hall with the military tribunes and the prominent men of the city. Then by command of Festus Paul was brought in.

rsv@Acts:25:25 @ But I found that he had done nothing deserving death; and as he himself appealed to the emperor, I decided to send him.

rsv@Acts:25:27 @ For it seems to me unreasonable, in sending a prisoner, not to indicate the charges against him."

rsv@Acts:26:5 @ They have known for a long time, if they are willing to testify, that according to the strictest party of our religion I have lived as a Pharisee.

rsv@Acts:26:7 @ to which our twelve tribes hope to attain, as they earnestly worship night and day. And for this hope I am accused by Jews, O king!

rsv@Acts:26:9 @ "I myself was convinced that I ought to do many things in opposing the name of Jesus of Nazareth.

rsv@Acts:26:10 @ And I did so in Jerusalem; I not only shut up many of the saints in prison, by authority from the chief priests, but when they were put to death I cast my vote against them.

rsv@Acts:26:11 @ And I punished them often in all the synagogues and tried to make them blaspheme; and in raging fury against them, I persecuted them even to foreign cities.

rsv@Acts:26:12 @ "Thus I journeyed to Damascus with the authority and commission of the chief priests.

rsv@Acts:26:19 @ "Wherefore, O King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision,

rsv@Acts:26:20 @ but declared first to those at Damascus, then at Jerusalem and throughout all the country of Judea, and also to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God and perform deeds worthy of their repentance.

rsv@Acts:26:21 @ For this reason the Jews seized me in the temple and tried to kill me.

rsv@Acts:26:22 @ To this day I have had the help that comes from God, and so I stand here testifying both to small and great, saying nothing but what the prophets and Moses said would come to pass:

rsv@Acts:26:24 @ And as he thus made his defense, Festus said with a loud voice, "Paul, you are mad; your great learning is turning you mad."

rsv@Acts:26:26 @ For the king knows about these things, and to him I speak freely; for I am persuaded that none of these things has escaped his notice, for this was not done in a corner.

rsv@Acts:26:29 @ And Paul said, "Whether short or long, I would to God that not only you but also all who hear me this day might become such as I am--except for these chains."

rsv@Acts:27:1 @ And when it was decided that we should sail for Italy, they delivered Paul and some other prisoners to a centurion of the Augustan Cohort, named Julius.

rsv@Acts:27:2 @ And embarking in a ship of Adramyt'tium, which was about to sail to the ports along the coast of Asia, we put to sea, accompanied by Aristar'chus, a Macedo'nian from Thessaloni'ca.

rsv@Acts:27:7 @ We sailed slowly for a number of days, and arrived with difficulty off Cni'dus, and as the wind did not allow us to go on, we sailed under the lee of Crete off Salmo'ne.

rsv@Acts:27:8 @ Coasting along it with difficulty, we came to a place called Fair Havens, near which was the city of Lase'a.

rsv@Acts:27:9 @ As much time had been lost, and the voyage was already dangerous because the fast had already gone by, Paul advised them,

rsv@Acts:27:12 @ And because the harbor was not suitable to winter in, the majority advised to put to sea from there, on the chance that somehow they could reach Phoenix, a harbor of Crete, looking northeast and southeast, and winter there.

rsv@Acts:27:14 @ But soon a tempestuous wind, called the northeaster, struck down from the land;

rsv@Acts:27:15 @ and when the ship was caught and could not face the wind, we gave way to it and were driven.

rsv@Acts:27:17 @ after hoisting it up, they took measures to undergird the ship; then, fearing that they should run on the Syr'tis, they lowered the gear, and so were driven.

rsv@Acts:27:18 @ As we were violently storm-tossed, they began next day to throw the cargo overboard;

rsv@Acts:27:19 @ and the third day they cast out with their own hands the tackle of the ship.

rsv@Acts:27:20 @ And when neither sun nor stars appeared for many a day, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope of our being saved was at last abandoned.

rsv@Acts:27:21 @ As they had been long without food, Paul then came forward among them and said, "Men, you should have listened to me, and should not have set sail from Crete and incurred this injury and loss.

rsv@Acts:27:24 @ and he said, `Do not be afraid, Paul; you must stand before Caesar; and lo, God has granted you all those who sail with you.'

rsv@Acts:27:25 @ So take heart, men, for I have faith in God that it will be exactly as I have been told.

rsv@Acts:27:27 @ When the fourteenth night had come, as we were drifting across the sea of A'dria, about midnight the sailors suspected that they were nearing land.

rsv@Acts:27:30 @ And as the sailors were seeking to escape from the ship, and had lowered the boat into the sea, under pretense of laying out anchors from the bow,

rsv@Acts:27:33 @ As day was about to dawn, Paul urged them all to take some food, saying, "Today is the fourteenth day that you have continued in suspense and without food, having taken nothing.

rsv@Acts:27:39 @ Now when it was day, they did not recognize the land, but they noticed a bay with a beach, on which they planned if possible to bring the ship ashore.

rsv@Acts:27:40 @ So they cast off the anchors and left them in the sea, at the same time loosening the ropes that tied the rudders; then hoisting the foresail to the wind they made for the beach.

rsv@Acts:27:41 @ But striking a shoal they ran the vessel aground; the bow stuck and remained immovable, and the stern was broken up by the surf.

rsv@Acts:27:42 @ The soldiers' plan was to kill the prisoners, lest any should swim away and escape;

rsv@Acts:27:44 @ and the rest on planks or on pieces of the ship. And so it was that all escaped to land.

rsv@Acts:28:1 @ After we had escaped, we then learned that the island was called Malta.

rsv@Acts:28:2 @ And the natives showed us unusual kindness, for they kindled a fire and welcomed us all, because it had begun to rain and was cold.

rsv@Acts:28:3 @ Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and put them on the fire, when a viper came out because of the heat and fastened on his hand.

rsv@Acts:28:4 @ When the natives saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to one another, "No doubt this man is a murderer. Though he has escaped from the sea, justice has not allowed him to live."

rsv@Acts:28:6 @ They waited, expecting him to swell up or suddenly fall down dead; but when they had waited a long time and saw no misfortune come to him, they changed their minds and said that he was a god.

rsv@Acts:28:9 @ And when this had taken place, the rest of the people on the island who had diseases also came and were cured.

rsv@Acts:28:11 @ After three months we set sail in a ship which had wintered in the island, a ship of Alexandria, with the Twin Brothers as figurehead.

rsv@Acts:28:15 @ And the brethren there, when they heard of us, came as far as the Forum of Ap'pius and Three Taverns to meet us. On seeing them Paul thanked God and took courage.

rsv@Acts:28:16 @ And when we came into Rome, Paul was allowed to stay by himself, with the soldier that guarded him.

rsv@Acts:28:17 @ After three days he called together the local leaders of the Jews; and when they had gathered, he said to them, "Brethren, though I had done nothing against the people or the customs of our fathers, yet I was delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans.

rsv@Acts:28:18 @ When they had examined me, they wished to set me at liberty, because there was no reason for the death penalty in my case.

rsv@Acts:28:19 @ But when the Jews objected, I was compelled to appeal to Caesar--though I had no charge to bring against my nation.

rsv@Acts:28:20 @ For this reason therefore I have asked to see you and speak with you, since it is because of the hope of Israel that I am bound with this chain."

rsv@Acts:28:21 @ And they said to him, "We have received no letters from Judea about you, and none of the brethren coming here has reported or spoken any evil about you.

rsv@Acts:28:25 @ So, as they disagreed among themselves, they departed, after Paul had made one statement: "The Holy Spirit was right in saying to your fathers through Isaiah the prophet:

rsv@Acts:28:27 @ For this people's heart has grown dull, and their ears are heavy of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest they should perceive with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and turn for me to heal them.'

rsv@Acts:28:28 @ Let it be known to you then that this salvation of God has been sent to the Gentiles; they will listen."

rsv@Romans:1:3 @ the gospel concerning his Son, who was descended from David according to the flesh

rsv@Romans:1:9 @ For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I mention you always in my prayers,

rsv@Romans:1:10 @ asking that somehow by God's will I may now at last succeed in coming to you.

rsv@Romans:1:13 @ I want you to know, brethren, that I have often intended to come to you (but thus far have been prevented), in order that I may reap some harvest among you as well as among the rest of the Gentiles.

rsv@Romans:1:16 @ For I am not ashamed of the gospel: it is the power of God for salvation to every one who has faith, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

rsv@Romans:1:17 @ For in it the righteousness of God is revealed through faith for faith; as it is written, "He who through faith is righteous shall live."

rsv@Romans:1:19 @ For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them.

rsv@Romans:1:20 @ Ever since the creation of the world his invisible nature, namely, his eternal power and deity, has been clearly perceived in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse;

rsv@Romans:1:21 @ for although they knew God they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking and their senseless minds were darkened.

rsv@Romans:1:26 @ For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. Their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural,

rsv@Romans:1:27 @ and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in their own persons the due penalty for their error.

rsv@Romans:1:28 @ And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a base mind and to improper conduct.

rsv@Romans:1:30 @ slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents,

rsv@Romans:2:1 @ Therefore you have no excuse, O man, whoever you are, when you judge another; for in passing judgment upon him you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, are doing the very same things.

rsv@Romans:2:17 @ But if you call yourself a Jew and rely upon the law and boast of your relation to God

rsv@Romans:2:23 @ You who boast in the law, do you dishonor God by breaking the law?

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

rsv@Romans:2:26 @ So, if a man who is uncircumcised keeps the precepts of the law, will not his uncircumcision be regarded as circumcision?

rsv@Romans:3:1 @ Then what advantage has the Jew? Or what is the value of circumcision?

rsv@Romans:3:4 @ By no means! Let God be true though every man be false, as it is written, "That thou mayest be justified in thy words, and prevail when thou art judged."

rsv@Romans:3:7 @ But if through my falsehood God's truthfulness abounds to his glory, why am I still being condemned as a sinner?

rsv@Romans:3:8 @ And why not do evil that good may come?--as some people slanderously charge us with saying. Their condemnation is just.

rsv@Romans:3:10 @ as it is written: "None is righteous, no, not one;

rsv@Romans:3:12 @ All have turned aside, together they have gone wrong; no one does good, not even one."

rsv@Romans:3:13 @ "Their throat is an open grave, they use their tongues to deceive." "The venom of asps is under their lips."

rsv@Romans:3:21 @ But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from law, although the law and the prophets bear witness to it,

rsv@Romans:3:24 @ they are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus,

rsv@Romans:3:25 @ whom God put forward as an expiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God's righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins;

rsv@Romans:3:26 @ it was to prove at the present time that he himself is righteous and that he justifies him who has faith in Jesus.

rsv@Romans:3:27 @ Then what becomes of our boasting? It is excluded. On what principle? On the principle of works? No, but on the principle of faith.

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

rsv@Romans:4:3 @ For what does the scripture say? "Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness."

rsv@Romans:4:4 @ Now to one who works, his wages are not reckoned as a gift but as his due.

rsv@Romans:4:5 @ And to one who does not work but trusts him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is reckoned as righteousness.

rsv@Romans:4:9 @ Is this blessing pronounced only upon the circumcised, or also upon the uncircumcised? We say that faith was reckoned to Abraham as righteousness.

rsv@Romans:4:10 @ How then was it reckoned to him? Was it before or after he had been circumcised? It was not after, but before he was circumcised.

rsv@Romans:4:11 @ He received circumcision as a sign or seal of the righteousness which he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised. The purpose was to make him the father of all who believe without being circumcised and who thus have righteousness reckoned to them,

rsv@Romans:4:12 @ and likewise the father of the circumcised who are not merely circumcised but also follow the example of the faith which our father Abraham had before he was circumcised.

rsv@Romans:4:17 @ as it is written, "I have made you the father of many nations" --in the presence of the God in whom he believed, who gives life to the dead and calls into existence the things that do not exist.

rsv@Romans:4:18 @ In hope he believed against hope, that he should become the father of many nations; as he had been told, "So shall your descendants be."

rsv@Romans:4:19 @ He did not weaken in faith when he considered his own body, which was as good as dead because he was about a hundred years old, or when he considered the barrenness of Sarah's womb.

rsv@Romans:4:20 @ No distrust made him waver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God,

rsv@Romans:4:21 @ fully convinced that God was able to do what he had promised.

rsv@Romans:4:22 @ That is why his faith was "reckoned to him as righteousness."

rsv@Romans:4:23 @ But the words, "it was reckoned to him," were written not for his sake alone,

rsv@Romans:4:25 @ who was put to death for our trespasses and raised for our justification.

rsv@Romans:5:5 @ and hope does not disappoint us, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit which has been given to us.

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

rsv@Romans:5:13 @ sin indeed was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not counted where there is no law.

rsv@Romans:5:14 @ Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those whose sins were not like the transgression of Adam, who was a type of the one who was to come.

rsv@Romans:5:15 @ But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if many died through one man's trespass, much more have the grace of God and the free gift in the grace of that one man Jesus Christ abounded for many.

rsv@Romans:5:16 @ And the free gift is not like the effect of that one man's sin. For the judgment following one trespass brought condemnation, but the free gift following many trespasses brings justification.

rsv@Romans:5:17 @ If, because of one man's trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ.

rsv@Romans:5:18 @ Then as one man's trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one man's act of righteousness leads to acquittal and life for all men.

rsv@Romans:5:19 @ For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by one man's obedience many will be made righteous.

rsv@Romans:5:20 @ Law came in, to increase the trespass; but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more,

rsv@Romans:5:21 @ so that, as sin reigned in death, grace also might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

rsv@Romans:6:4 @ We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.

rsv@Romans:6:6 @ We know that our old self was crucified with him so that the sinful body might be destroyed, and we might no longer be enslaved to sin.

rsv@Romans:6:7 @ For he who has died is freed from sin.

rsv@Romans:6:9 @ For we know that Christ being raised from the dead will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him.

rsv@Romans:6:12 @ Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal bodies, to make you obey their passions.

rsv@Romans:6:13 @ Do not yield your members to sin as instruments of wickedness, but yield yourselves to God as men who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments of righteousness.

rsv@Romans:6:16 @ Do you not know that if you yield yourselves to any one as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness?

rsv@Romans:6:19 @ I am speaking in human terms, because of your natural limitations. For just as you once yielded your members to impurity and to greater and greater iniquity, so now yield your members to righteousness for sanctification.

rsv@Romans:6:21 @ But then what return did you get from the things of which you are now ashamed? The end of those things is death.

rsv@Romans:7:2 @ Thus a married woman is bound by law to her husband as long as he lives; but if her husband dies she is discharged from the law concerning the husband.

rsv@Romans:7:4 @ Likewise, my brethren, you have died to the law through the body of Christ, so that you may belong to another, to him who has been raised from the dead in order that we may bear fruit for God.

rsv@Romans:7:5 @ While we were living in the flesh, our sinful passions, aroused by the law, were at work in our members to bear fruit for death.

rsv@Romans:7:9 @ I was once alive apart from the law, but when the commandment came, sin revived and I died;

rsv@Romans:7:13 @ Did that which is good, then, bring death to me? By no means! It was sin, working death in me through what is good, in order that sin might be shown to be sin, and through the commandment might become sinful beyond measure.

rsv@Romans:8:2 @ For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and death.

rsv@Romans:8:3 @ For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do: sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh,

rsv@Romans:8:8 @ and those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

rsv@Romans:8:20 @ for the creation was subjected to futility, not of its own will but by the will of him who subjected it in hope;

rsv@Romans:8:22 @ We know that the whole creation has been groaning in travail together until now;

rsv@Romans:8:23 @ and not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.

rsv@Romans:8:26 @ Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with sighs too deep for words.

rsv@Romans:8:34 @ who is to condemn? Is it Christ Jesus, who died, yes, who was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who indeed intercedes for us?

rsv@Romans:8:36 @ As it is written, "For thy sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered."

rsv@Romans:9:2 @ that I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart.

rsv@Romans:9:6 @ But it is not as though the word of God had failed. For not all who are descended from Israel belong to Israel,

rsv@Romans:9:8 @ This means that it is not the children of the flesh who are the children of God, but the children of the promise are reckoned as descendants.

rsv@Romans:9:12 @ she was told, "The elder will serve the younger."

rsv@Romans:9:13 @ As it is written, "Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated."

rsv@Romans:9:15 @ For he says to Moses, "I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion."

rsv@Romans:9:18 @ So then he has mercy upon whomever he wills, and he hardens the heart of whomever he wills.

rsv@Romans:9:21 @ Has the potter no right over the clay, to make out of the same lump one vessel for beauty and another for menial use?

rsv@Romans:9:22 @ What if God, desiring to show his wrath and to make known his power, has endured with much patience the vessels of wrath made for destruction,

rsv@Romans:9:23 @ in order to make known the riches of his glory for the vessels of mercy, which he has prepared beforehand for glory,

rsv@Romans:9:24 @ even us whom he has called, not from the Jews only but also from the Gentiles?

rsv@Romans:9:25 @ As indeed he says in Hose'a, "Those who were not my people I will call `my people,' and her who was not beloved I will call `my beloved.'"

rsv@Romans:9:26 @ "And in the very place where it was said to them, `You are not my people,' they will be called `sons of the living God.'"

rsv@Romans:9:27 @ And Isaiah cries out concerning Israel: "Though the number of the sons of Israel be as the sand of the sea, only a remnant of them will be saved;

rsv@Romans:9:29 @ And as Isaiah predicted, "If the Lord of hosts had not left us children, we would have fared like Sodom and been made like Gomor'rah."

rsv@Romans:9:31 @ but that Israel who pursued the righteousness which is based on law did not succeed in fulfilling that law.

rsv@Romans:9:32 @ Why? Because they did not pursue it through faith, but as if it were based on works. They have stumbled over the stumbling stone,

rsv@Romans:9:33 @ as it is written, "Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone that will make men stumble, a rock that will make them fall; and he who believes in him will not be put to shame."

rsv@Romans:10:4 @ For Christ is the end of the law, that every one who has faith may be justified.

rsv@Romans:10:5 @ Moses writes that the man who practices the righteousness which is based on the law shall live by it.

rsv@Romans:10:6 @ But the righteousness based on faith says, Do not say in your heart, "Who will ascend into heaven?" (that is, to bring Christ down)

rsv@Romans:10:15 @ And how can men preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach good news!"

rsv@Romans:10:16 @ But they have not all obeyed the gospel; for Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed what he has heard from us?"

rsv@Romans:10:18 @ But I ask, have they not heard? Indeed they have; for "Their voice has gone out to all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world."

rsv@Romans:10:19 @ Again I ask, did Israel not understand? First Moses says, "I will make you jealous of those who are not a nation; with a foolish nation I will make you angry."

rsv@Romans:10:20 @ Then Isaiah is so bold as to say, "I have been found by those who did not seek me; I have shown myself to those who did not ask for me."

rsv@Romans:11:1 @ I ask, then, has God rejected his people? By no means! I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, a member of the tribe of Benjamin.

rsv@Romans:11:2 @ God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew. Do you not know what the scripture says of Eli'jah, how he pleads with God against Israel?

rsv@Romans:11:6 @ But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works; otherwise grace would no longer be grace.

rsv@Romans:11:8 @ as it is written, "God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that should not see and ears that should not hear, down to this very day."

rsv@Romans:11:11 @ So I ask, have they stumbled so as to fall? By no means! But through their trespass salvation has come to the Gentiles, so as to make Israel jealous.

rsv@Romans:11:12 @ Now if their trespass means riches for the world, and if their failure means riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their full inclusion mean!

rsv@Romans:11:13 @ Now I am speaking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry

rsv@Romans:11:16 @ If the dough offered as first fruits is holy, so is the whole lump; and if the root is holy, so are the branches.

rsv@Romans:11:18 @ do not boast over the branches. If you do boast, remember it is not you that support the root, but the root that supports you.

rsv@Romans:11:20 @ That is true. They were broken off because of their unbelief, but you stand fast only through faith. So do not become proud, but stand in awe.

rsv@Romans:11:23 @ And even the others, if they do not persist in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God has the power to graft them in again.

rsv@Romans:11:25 @ Lest you be wise in your own conceits, I want you to understand this mystery, brethren: a hardening has come upon part of Israel, until the full number of the Gentiles come in,

rsv@Romans:11:26 @ and so all Israel will be saved; as it is written, "The Deliverer will come from Zion, he will banish ungodliness from Jacob";

rsv@Romans:11:28 @ As regards the gospel they are enemies of God, for your sake; but as regards election they are beloved for the sake of their forefathers.

rsv@Romans:11:30 @ Just as you were once disobedient to God but now have received mercy because of their disobedience,

rsv@Romans:11:32 @ For God has consigned all men to disobedience, that he may have mercy upon all.

rsv@Romans:11:34 @ "For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been his counselor?"

rsv@Romans:11:35 @ "Or who has given a gift to him that he might be repaid?"

rsv@Romans:12:1 @ I appeal to you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.

rsv@Romans:12:3 @ For by the grace given to me I bid every one among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith which God has assigned him.

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

rsv@Romans:12:9 @ Let love be genuine; hate what is evil, hold fast to what is good;

rsv@Romans:12:16 @ Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly; never be conceited.

rsv@Romans:12:18 @ If possible, so far as it depends upon you, live peaceably with all.

rsv@Romans:13:2 @ Therefore he who resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment.

rsv@Romans:13:6 @ For the same reason you also pay taxes, for the authorities are ministers of God, attending to this very thing.

rsv@Romans:13:8 @ Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.

rsv@Romans:13:9 @ The commandments, "You shall not commit adultery, You shall not kill, You shall not steal, You shall not covet," and any other commandment, are summed up in this sentence, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."

rsv@Romans:13:12 @ the night is far gone, the day is at hand. Let us then cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light;

rsv@Romans:13:13 @ let us conduct ourselves becomingly as in the day, not in reveling and drunkenness, not in debauchery and licentiousness, not in quarreling and jealousy.

rsv@Romans:14:1 @ As for the man who is weak in faith, welcome him, but not for disputes over opinions.

rsv@Romans:14:3 @ Let not him who eats despise him who abstains, and let not him who abstains pass judgment on him who eats; for God has welcomed him.

rsv@Romans:14:4 @ Who are you to pass judgment on the servant of another? It is before his own master that he stands or falls. And he will be upheld, for the Master is able to make him stand.

rsv@Romans:14:5 @ One man esteems one day as better than another, while another man esteems all days alike. Let every one be fully convinced in his own mind.

rsv@Romans:14:10 @ Why do you pass judgment on your brother? Or you, why do you despise your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of God;

rsv@Romans:14:11 @ for it is written, "As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall give praise to God."

rsv@Romans:14:13 @ Then let us no more pass judgment on one another, but rather decide never to put a stumbling block or hindrance in the way of a brother.

rsv@Romans:14:16 @ So do not let your good be spoken of as evil.

rsv@Romans:14:22 @ The faith that you have, keep between yourself and God; happy is he who has no reason to judge himself for what he approves.

rsv@Romans:14:23 @ But he who has doubts is condemned, if he eats, because he does not act from faith; for whatever does not proceed from faith is sin.

rsv@Romans:15:1 @ We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak, and not to please ourselves;

rsv@Romans:15:2 @ let each of us please his neighbor for his good, to edify him.

rsv@Romans:15:3 @ For Christ did not please himself; but, as it is written, "The reproaches of those who reproached thee fell on me."

rsv@Romans:15:4 @ For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that by steadfastness and by the encouragement of the scriptures we might have hope.

rsv@Romans:15:5 @ May the God of steadfastness and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus,

rsv@Romans:15:7 @ Welcome one another, therefore, as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God.

rsv@Romans:15:9 @ and in order that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written, "Therefore I will praise thee among the Gentiles, and sing to thy name";

rsv@Romans:15:17 @ In Christ Jesus, then, I have reason to be proud of my work for God.

rsv@Romans:15:18 @ For I will not venture to speak of anything except what Christ has wrought through me to win obedience from the Gentiles, by word and deed,

rsv@Romans:15:19 @ by the power of signs and wonders, by the power of the Holy Spirit, so that from Jerusalem and as far round as Illyr'icum I have fully preached the gospel of Christ,

rsv@Romans:15:20 @ thus making it my ambition to preach the gospel, not where Christ has already been named, lest I build on another man's foundation,

rsv@Romans:15:21 @ but as it is written, "They shall see who have never been told of him, and they shall understand who have never heard of him."

rsv@Romans:15:22 @ This is the reason why I have so often been hindered from coming to you.

rsv@1Corinthians:1:13 @ Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?

rsv@1Corinthians:1:16 @ (I did baptize also the household of Steph'anas. Beyond that, I do not know whether I baptized any one else.)

rsv@1Corinthians:1:20 @ Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?

rsv@1Corinthians:1:21 @ For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach to save those who believe.

rsv@1Corinthians:1:29 @ so that no human being might boast in the presence of God.

rsv@1Corinthians:1:31 @ therefore, as it is written, "Let him who boasts, boast of the Lord."

rsv@1Corinthians:2:3 @ And I was with you in weakness and in much fear and trembling;

rsv@1Corinthians:2:6 @ Yet among the mature we do impart wisdom, although it is not a wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are doomed to pass away.

rsv@1Corinthians:2:9 @ But, as it is written, "What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man conceived, what God has prepared for those who love him,"

rsv@1Corinthians:2:10 @ God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God.

rsv@1Corinthians:2:16 @ "For who has known the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?" But we have the mind of Christ.

rsv@1Corinthians:3:1 @ But I, brethren, could not address you as spiritual men, but as men of the flesh, as babes in Christ.

rsv@1Corinthians:3:5 @ What then is Apol'los? What is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, as the Lord assigned to each.

rsv@1Corinthians:3:10 @ According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation, and another man is building upon it. Let each man take care how he builds upon it.

rsv@1Corinthians:3:13 @ each man's work will become manifest; for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done.

rsv@1Corinthians:3:14 @ If the work which any man has built on the foundation survives, he will receive a reward.

rsv@1Corinthians:3:15 @ If any man's work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, but only as through fire.

rsv@1Corinthians:3:21 @ So let no one boast of men. For all things are yours,

rsv@1Corinthians:3:22 @ whether Paul or Apol'los or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future, all are yours;

rsv@1Corinthians:4:1 @ This is how one should regard us, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.

rsv@1Corinthians:4:7 @ For who sees anything different in you? What have you that you did not receive? If then you received it, why do you boast as if it were not a gift?

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

rsv@1Corinthians:4:13 @ when slandered, we try to conciliate; we have become, and are now, as the refuse of the world, the offscouring of all things.

rsv@1Corinthians:4:14 @ I do not write this to make you ashamed, but to admonish you as my beloved children.

rsv@1Corinthians:4:17 @ Therefore I sent to you Timothy, my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, to remind you of my ways in Christ, as I teach them everywhere in every church.

rsv@1Corinthians:4:18 @ Some are arrogant, as though I were not coming to you.

rsv@1Corinthians:5:2 @ And you are arrogant! Ought you not rather to mourn? Let him who has done this be removed from among you.

rsv@1Corinthians:5:3 @ For though absent in body I am present in spirit, and as if present, I have already pronounced judgment

rsv@1Corinthians:5:4 @ in the name of the Lord Jesus on the man who has done such a thing. When you are assembled, and my spirit is present, with the power of our Lord Jesus,

rsv@1Corinthians:5:6 @ Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump?

rsv@1Corinthians:5:7 @ Cleanse out the old leaven that you may be a new lump, as you really are unleavened. For Christ, our paschal lamb, has been sacrificed.

rsv@1Corinthians:5:9 @ I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with immoral men;

rsv@1Corinthians:5:11 @ But rather I wrote to you not to associate with any one who bears the name of brother if he is guilty of immorality or greed, or is an idolater, reviler, drunkard, or robber--not even to eat with such a one.

rsv@1Corinthians:6:1 @ When one of you has a grievance against a brother, does he dare go to law before the unrighteous instead of the saints?

rsv@1Corinthians:6:2 @ Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are you incompetent to try trivial cases?

rsv@1Corinthians:6:4 @ If then you have such cases, why do you lay them before those who are least esteemed by the church?

rsv@1Corinthians:6:11 @ And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.

rsv@1Corinthians:6:16 @ Do you not know that he who joins himself to a prostitute becomes one body with her? For, as it is written, "The two shall become one flesh."

rsv@1Corinthians:7:5 @ Do not refuse one another except perhaps by agreement for a season, that you may devote yourselves to prayer; but then come together again, lest Satan tempt you through lack of self-control.

rsv@1Corinthians:7:7 @ I wish that all were as I myself am. But each has his own special gift from God, one of one kind and one of another.

rsv@1Corinthians:7:8 @ To the unmarried and the widows I say that it is well for them to remain single as I do.

rsv@1Corinthians:7:9 @ But if they cannot exercise self-control, they should marry. For it is better to marry than to be aflame with passion.

rsv@1Corinthians:7:12 @ To the rest I say, not the Lord, that if any brother has a wife who is an unbeliever, and she consents to live with him, he should not divorce her.

rsv@1Corinthians:7:13 @ If any woman has a husband who is an unbeliever, and he consents to live with her, she should not divorce him.

rsv@1Corinthians:7:14 @ For the unbelieving husband is consecrated through his wife, and the unbelieving wife is consecrated through her husband. Otherwise, your children would be unclean, but as it is they are holy.

rsv@1Corinthians:7:15 @ But if the unbelieving partner desires to separate, let it be so; in such a case the brother or sister is not bound. For God has called us to peace.

rsv@1Corinthians:7:17 @ Only, let every one lead the life which the Lord has assigned to him, and in which God has called him. This is my rule in all the churches.

rsv@1Corinthians:7:18 @ Was any one at the time of his call already circumcised? Let him not seek to remove the marks of circumcision. Was any one at the time of his call uncircumcised? Let him not seek circumcision.

rsv@1Corinthians:7:20 @ Every one should remain in the state in which he was called.

rsv@1Corinthians:7:22 @ For he who was called in the Lord as a slave is a freedman of the Lord. Likewise he who was free when called is a slave of Christ.

rsv@1Corinthians:7:24 @ So, brethren, in whatever state each was called, there let him remain with God.

rsv@1Corinthians:7:25 @ Now concerning the unmarried, I have no command of the Lord, but I give my opinion as one who by the Lord's mercy is trustworthy.

rsv@1Corinthians:7:26 @ I think that in view of the present distress it is well for a person to remain as he is.

rsv@1Corinthians:7:29 @ I mean, brethren, the appointed time has grown very short; from now on, let those who have wives live as though they had none,

rsv@1Corinthians:7:30 @ and those who mourn as though they were not mourning, and those who rejoice as though they were not rejoicing, and those who buy as though they had no goods,

rsv@1Corinthians:7:31 @ and those who deal with the world as though they had no dealings with it. For the form of this world is passing away.

rsv@1Corinthians:7:32 @ I want you to be free from anxieties. The unmarried man is anxious about the affairs of the Lord, how to please the Lord;

rsv@1Corinthians:7:33 @ but the married man is anxious about worldly affairs, how to please his wife,

rsv@1Corinthians:7:34 @ and his interests are divided. And the unmarried woman or girl is anxious about the affairs of the Lord, how to be holy in body and spirit; but the married woman is anxious about worldly affairs, how to please her husband.

rsv@1Corinthians:7:36 @ If any one thinks that he is not behaving properly toward his betrothed, if his passions are strong, and it has to be, let him do as he wishes: let them marry--it is no sin.

rsv@1Corinthians:7:37 @ But whoever is firmly established in his heart, being under no necessity but having his desire under control, and has determined this in his heart, to keep her as his betrothed, he will do well.

rsv@1Corinthians:7:39 @ A wife is bound to her husband as long as he lives. If the husband dies, she is free to be married to whom she wishes, only in the Lord.

rsv@1Corinthians:7:40 @ But in my judgment she is happier if she remains as she is. And I think that I have the Spirit of God.

rsv@1Corinthians:8:2 @ If any one imagines that he knows something, he does not yet know as he ought to know.

rsv@1Corinthians:8:4 @ Hence, as to the eating of food offered to idols, we know that "an idol has no real existence," and that "there is no God but one."

rsv@1Corinthians:8:5 @ For although there may be so-called gods in heaven or on earth--as indeed there are many "gods" and many "lords"--

rsv@1Corinthians:8:7 @ However, not all possess this knowledge. But some, through being hitherto accustomed to idols, eat food as really offered to an idol; and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.

rsv@1Corinthians:9:2 @ If to others I am not an apostle, at least I am to you; for you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.

rsv@1Corinthians:9:5 @ Do we not have the right to be accompanied by a wife, as the other apostles and the brothers of the Lord and Cephas?

rsv@1Corinthians:9:6 @ Or is it only Barnabas and I who have no right to refrain from working for a living?

rsv@1Corinthians:9:7 @ Who serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard without eating any of its fruit? Who tends a flock without getting some of the milk?

rsv@1Corinthians:9:10 @ Does he not speak entirely for our sake? It was written for our sake, because the plowman should plow in hope and the thresher thresh in hope of a share in the crop.

rsv@1Corinthians:9:15 @ But I have made no use of any of these rights, nor am I writing this to secure any such provision. For I would rather die than have any one deprive me of my ground for boasting.

rsv@1Corinthians:9:16 @ For if I preach the gospel, that gives me no ground for boasting. For necessity is laid upon me. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel!

rsv@1Corinthians:9:20 @ To the Jews I became as a Jew, in order to win Jews; to those under the law I became as one under the law--though not being myself under the law--that I might win those under the law.

rsv@1Corinthians:9:21 @ To those outside the law I became as one outside the law--not being without law toward God but under the law of Christ--that I might win those outside the law.

rsv@1Corinthians:9:26 @ Well, I do not run aimlessly, I do not box as one beating the air;

rsv@1Corinthians:10:1 @ I want you to know, brethren, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea,

rsv@1Corinthians:10:4 @ and all drank the same supernatural drink. For they drank from the supernatural Rock which followed them, and the Rock was Christ.

rsv@1Corinthians:10:5 @ Nevertheless with most of them God was not pleased; for they were overthrown in the wilderness.

rsv@1Corinthians:10:6 @ Now these things are warnings for us, not to desire evil as they did.

rsv@1Corinthians:10:7 @ Do not be idolaters as some of them were; as it is written, "The people sat down to eat and drink and rose up to dance."

rsv@1Corinthians:10:8 @ We must not indulge in immorality as some of them did, and twenty-three thousand fell in a single day.

rsv@1Corinthians:10:9 @ We must not put the Lord to the test, as some of them did and were destroyed by serpents;

rsv@1Corinthians:10:10 @ nor grumble, as some of them did and were destroyed by the Destroyer.

rsv@1Corinthians:10:11 @ Now these things happened to them as a warning, but they were written down for our instruction, upon whom the end of the ages has come.

rsv@1Corinthians:10:13 @ No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your strength, but with the temptation will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

rsv@1Corinthians:10:15 @ I speak as to sensible men; judge for yourselves what I say.

rsv@1Corinthians:10:28 @ (But if some one says to you, "This has been offered in sacrifice," then out of consideration for the man who informed you, and for conscience' sake--

rsv@1Corinthians:10:33 @ just as I try to please all men in everything I do, not seeking my own advantage, but that of many, that they may be saved.

rsv@1Corinthians:11:1 @ Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ.

rsv@1Corinthians:11:2 @ I commend you because you remember me in everything and maintain the traditions even as I have delivered them to you.

rsv@1Corinthians:11:5 @ but any woman who prays or prophesies with her head unveiled dishonors her head--it is the same as if her head were shaven.

rsv@1Corinthians:11:8 @ (For man was not made from woman, but woman from man.

rsv@1Corinthians:11:9 @ Neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.)

rsv@1Corinthians:11:12 @ for as woman was made from man, so man is now born of woman. And all things are from God.)

rsv@1Corinthians:11:15 @ but if a woman has long hair, it is her pride? For her hair is given to her for a covering.

rsv@1Corinthians:11:18 @ For, in the first place, when you assemble as a church, I hear that there are divisions among you; and I partly believe it,

rsv@1Corinthians:11:23 @ For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread,

rsv@1Corinthians:11:25 @ In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me."

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

rsv@1Corinthians:11:32 @ But when we are judged by the Lord, we are chastened so that we may not be condemned along with the world.

rsv@1Corinthians:12:2 @ You know that when you were heathen, you were led astray to dumb idols, however you may have been moved.

rsv@1Corinthians:12:11 @ All these are inspired by one and the same Spirit, who apportions to each one individually as he wills.

rsv@1Corinthians:12:12 @ For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ.

rsv@1Corinthians:12:18 @ But as it is, God arranged the organs in the body, each one of them, as he chose.

rsv@1Corinthians:12:20 @ As it is, there are many parts, yet one body.

rsv@1Corinthians:12:24 @ which our more presentable parts do not require. But God has so composed the body, giving the greater honor to the inferior part,

rsv@1Corinthians:12:28 @ And God has appointed in the church first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then workers of miracles, then healers, helpers, administrators, speakers in various kinds of tongues.

rsv@1Corinthians:13:2 @ And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

rsv@1Corinthians:13:4 @ Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful;

rsv@1Corinthians:13:8 @ Love never ends; as for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away.

rsv@1Corinthians:13:10 @ but when the perfect comes, the imperfect will pass away.

rsv@1Corinthians:13:11 @ When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; when I became a man, I gave up childish ways.

rsv@1Corinthians:13:12 @ For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall understand fully, even as I have been fully understood.

rsv@1Corinthians:14:7 @ If even lifeless instruments, such as the flute or the harp, do not give distinct notes, how will any one know what is played?

rsv@1Corinthians:14:23 @ If, therefore, the whole church assembles and all speak in tongues, and outsiders or unbelievers enter, will they not say that you are mad?

rsv@1Corinthians:14:26 @ What then, brethren? When you come together, each one has a hymn, a lesson, a revelation, a tongue, or an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification.

rsv@1Corinthians:14:33 @ For God is not a God of confusion but of peace. As in all the churches of the saints,

rsv@1Corinthians:14:34 @ the women should keep silence in the churches. For they are not permitted to speak, but should be subordinate, as even the law says.

rsv@1Corinthians:14:35 @ If there is anything they desire to know, let them ask their husbands at home. For it is shameful for a woman to speak in church.

rsv@1Corinthians:14:36 @ What! Did the word of God originate with you, or are you the only ones it has reached?

rsv@1Corinthians:15:2 @ by which you are saved, if you hold it fast--unless you believed in vain.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:3 @ For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the scriptures,

rsv@1Corinthians:15:4 @ that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the scriptures,

rsv@1Corinthians:15:5 @ and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:6 @ Then he appeared to more than five hundred brethren at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:8 @ Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:9 @ For I am the least of the apostles, unfit to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:10 @ But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them, though it was not I, but the grace of God which is with me.

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

rsv@1Corinthians:15:12 @ Now if Christ is preached as raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?

rsv@1Corinthians:15:13 @ But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not been raised;

rsv@1Corinthians:15:14 @ if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:16 @ For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:17 @ If Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:18 @ Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:20 @ But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:21 @ For as by a man came death, by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:22 @ For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:25 @ For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:26 @ The last enemy to be destroyed is death.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:27 @ "For God has put all things in subjection under his feet." But when it says, "All things are put in subjection under him," it is plain that he is excepted who put all things under him.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:32 @ What do I gain if, humanly speaking, I fought with beasts at Ephesus? If the dead are not raised, "Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die."

rsv@1Corinthians:15:35 @ But some one will ask, "How are the dead raised? With what kind of body do they come?"

rsv@1Corinthians:15:38 @ But God gives it a body as he has chosen, and to each kind of seed its own body.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:45 @ Thus it is written, "The first man Adam became a living being"; the last Adam became a life-giving spirit.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:47 @ The first man was from the earth, a man of dust; the second man is from heaven.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:48 @ As was the man of dust, so are those who are of the dust; and as is the man of heaven, so are those who are of heaven.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:49 @ Just as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the man of heaven.

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

rsv@1Corinthians:15:54 @ When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written: "Death is swallowed up in victory."

rsv@1Corinthians:15:58 @ Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.

rsv@1Corinthians:16:1 @ Now concerning the contribution for the saints: as I directed the churches of Galatia, so you also are to do.

rsv@1Corinthians:16:2 @ On the first day of every week, each of you is to put something aside and store it up, as he may prosper, so that contributions need not be made when I come.

rsv@1Corinthians:16:5 @ I will visit you after passing through Macedo'nia, for I intend to pass through Macedo'nia,

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

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

rsv@1Corinthians:16:10 @ When Timothy comes, see that you put him at ease among you, for he is doing the work of the Lord, as I am.

rsv@1Corinthians:16:12 @ As for our brother Apol'los, I strongly urged him to visit you with the other brethren, but it was not at all his will to come now. He will come when he has opportunity.

rsv@1Corinthians:16:15 @ Now, brethren, you know that the household of Steph'anas were the first converts in Acha'ia, and they have devoted themselves to the service of the saints;

rsv@1Corinthians:16:17 @ I rejoice at the coming of Steph'anas and Fortuna'tus and Acha'icus, because they have made up for your absence;

rsv@1Corinthians:16:18 @ for they refreshed my spirit as well as yours. Give recognition to such men.

rsv@1Corinthians:16:19 @ The churches of Asia send greetings. Aq'uila and Prisca, together with the church in their house, send you hearty greetings in the Lord.

rsv@1Corinthians:16:22 @ If any one has no love for the Lord, let him be accursed. Our Lord, come!

rsv@2Corinthians:1:5 @ For as we share abundantly in Christ's sufferings, so through Christ we share abundantly in comfort too.

rsv@2Corinthians:1:7 @ Our hope for you is unshaken; for we know that as you share in our sufferings, you will also share in our comfort.

rsv@2Corinthians:1:8 @ For we do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, of the affliction we experienced in Asia; for we were so utterly, unbearably crushed that we despaired of life itself.

rsv@2Corinthians:1:9 @ Why, we felt that we had received the sentence of death; but that was to make us rely not on ourselves but on God who raises the dead;

rsv@2Corinthians:1:12 @ For our boast is this, the testimony of our conscience that we have behaved in the world, and still more toward you, with holiness and godly sincerity, not by earthly wisdom but by the grace of God.

rsv@2Corinthians:1:14 @ as you have understood in part, that you can be proud of us as we can be of you, on the day of the Lord Jesus.

rsv@2Corinthians:1:15 @ Because I was sure of this, I wanted to come to you first, so that you might have a double pleasure;

rsv@2Corinthians:1:17 @ Was I vacillating when I wanted to do this? Do I make my plans like a worldly man, ready to say Yes and No at once?

rsv@2Corinthians:1:18 @ As surely as God is faithful, our word to you has not been Yes and No.

rsv@2Corinthians:1:19 @ For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, whom we preached among you, Silva'nus and Timothy and I, was not Yes and No; but in him it is always Yes.

rsv@2Corinthians:1:21 @ But it is God who establishes us with you in Christ, and has commissioned us;

rsv@2Corinthians:1:22 @ he has put his seal upon us and given us his Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee.

rsv@2Corinthians:1:23 @ But I call God to witness against me--it was to spare you that I refrained from coming to Corinth.

rsv@2Corinthians:2:3 @ And I wrote as I did, so that when I came I might not suffer pain from those who should have made me rejoice, for I felt sure of all of you, that my joy would be the joy of you all.

rsv@2Corinthians:2:5 @ But if any one has caused pain, he has caused it not to me, but in some measure--not to put it too severely-- to you all.

rsv@2Corinthians:2:10 @ Any one whom you forgive, I also forgive. What I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, has been for your sake in the presence of Christ,

rsv@2Corinthians:2:12 @ When I came to Tro'as to preach the gospel of Christ, a door was opened for me in the Lord;

rsv@2Corinthians:2:17 @ For we are not, like so many, peddlers of God's word; but as men of sincerity, as commissioned by God, in the sight of God we speak in Christ.

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

rsv@2Corinthians:3:5 @ Not that we are competent of ourselves to claim anything as coming from us; our competence is from God,

rsv@2Corinthians:3:6 @ who has made us competent to be ministers of a new covenant, not in a written code but in the Spirit; for the written code kills, but the Spirit gives life.

rsv@2Corinthians:3:7 @ Now if the dispensation of death, carved in letters on stone, came with such splendor that the Israelites could not look at Moses' face because of its brightness, fading as this was,

rsv@2Corinthians:3:9 @ For if there was splendor in the dispensation of condemnation, the dispensation of righteousness must far exceed it in splendor.

rsv@2Corinthians:3:10 @ Indeed, in this case, what once had splendor has come to have no splendor at all, because of the splendor that surpasses it.

rsv@2Corinthians:4:4 @ In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the likeness of God.

rsv@2Corinthians:4:5 @ For what we preach is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, with ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake.

rsv@2Corinthians:4:6 @ For it is the God who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.

rsv@2Corinthians:4:7 @ But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, to show that the transcendent power belongs to God and not to us.

rsv@2Corinthians:4:13 @ Since we have the same spirit of faith as he had who wrote, "I believed, and so I spoke," we too believe, and so we speak,

rsv@2Corinthians:4:15 @ For it is all for your sake, so that as grace extends to more and more people it may increase thanksgiving, to the glory of God.

rsv@2Corinthians:4:16 @ So we do not lose heart. Though our outer nature is wasting away, our inner nature is being renewed every day.

rsv@2Corinthians:5:5 @ He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who has given us the Spirit as a guarantee.

rsv@2Corinthians:5:9 @ So whether we are at home or away, we make it our aim to please him.

rsv@2Corinthians:5:10 @ For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive good or evil, according to what he has done in the body.

rsv@2Corinthians:5:14 @ For the love of Christ controls us, because we are convinced that one has died for all; therefore all have died.

rsv@2Corinthians:5:15 @ And he died for all, that those who live might live no longer for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised.

rsv@2Corinthians:5:17 @ Therefore, if any one is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, behold, the new has come.

rsv@2Corinthians:5:19 @ that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation.

rsv@2Corinthians:5:20 @ So we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We beseech you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.

rsv@2Corinthians:6:4 @ but as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: through great endurance, in afflictions, hardships, calamities,

rsv@2Corinthians:6:8 @ in honor and dishonor, in ill repute and good repute. We are treated as impostors, and yet are true;

rsv@2Corinthians:6:9 @ as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold we live; as punished, and yet not killed;

rsv@2Corinthians:6:10 @ as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing everything.

rsv@2Corinthians:6:13 @ In return--I speak as to children--widen your hearts also.

rsv@2Corinthians:6:14 @ Do not be mismated with unbelievers. For what partnership have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?

rsv@2Corinthians:6:15 @ What accord has Christ with Be'lial? Or what has a believer in common with an unbeliever?

rsv@2Corinthians:6:16 @ What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; as God said, "I will live in them and move among them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

rsv@2Corinthians:7:6 @ But God, who comforts the downcast, comforted us by the coming of Titus,

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

rsv@2Corinthians:7:9 @ As it is, I rejoice, not because you were grieved, but because you were grieved into repenting; for you felt a godly grief, so that you suffered no loss through us.

rsv@2Corinthians:7:11 @ For see what earnestness this godly grief has produced in you, what eagerness to clear yourselves, what indignation, what alarm, what longing, what zeal, what punishment! At every point you have proved yourselves guiltless in the matter.

rsv@2Corinthians:7:12 @ So although I wrote to you, it was not on account of the one who did the wrong, nor on account of the one who suffered the wrong, but in order that your zeal for us might be revealed to you in the sight of God.

rsv@2Corinthians:7:13 @ Therefore we are comforted. And besides our own comfort we rejoiced still more at the joy of Titus, because his mind has been set at rest by you all.

rsv@2Corinthians:7:14 @ For if I have expressed to him some pride in you, I was not put to shame; but just as everything we said to you was true, so our boasting before Titus has proved true.

rsv@2Corinthians:7:15 @ And his heart goes out all the more to you, as he remembers the obedience of you all, and the fear and trembling with which you received him.

rsv@2Corinthians:8:1 @ We want you to know, brethren, about the grace of God which has been shown in the churches of Macedo'nia,

rsv@2Corinthians:8:3 @ For they gave according to their means, as I can testify, and beyond their means, of their own free will,

rsv@2Corinthians:8:5 @ and this, not as we expected, but first they gave themselves to the Lord and to us by the will of God.

rsv@2Corinthians:8:6 @ Accordingly we have urged Titus that as he had already made a beginning, he should also complete among you this gracious work.

rsv@2Corinthians:8:7 @ Now as you excel in everything--in faith, in utterance, in knowledge, in all earnestness, and in your love for us--see that you excel in this gracious work also.

rsv@2Corinthians:8:8 @ I say this not as a command, but to prove by the earnestness of others that your love also is genuine.

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

rsv@2Corinthians:8:12 @ For if the readiness is there, it is acceptable according to what a man has, not according to what he has not.

rsv@2Corinthians:8:13 @ I do not mean that others should be eased and you burdened,

rsv@2Corinthians:8:14 @ but that as a matter of equality your abundance at the present time should supply their want, so that their abundance may supply your want, that there may be equality.

rsv@2Corinthians:8:15 @ As it is written, "He who gathered much had nothing over, and he who gathered little had no lack."

rsv@2Corinthians:8:19 @ and not only that, but he has been appointed by the churches to travel with us in this gracious work which we are carrying on, for the glory of the Lord and to show our good will.

rsv@2Corinthians:8:23 @ As for Titus, he is my partner and fellow worker in your service; and as for our brethren, they are messengers of the churches, the glory of Christ.

rsv@2Corinthians:8:24 @ So give proof, before the churches, of your love and of our boasting about you to these men.

rsv@2Corinthians:9:2 @ for I know your readiness, of which I boast about you to the people of Macedo'nia, saying that Acha'ia has been ready since last year; and your zeal has stirred up most of them.

rsv@2Corinthians:9:3 @ But I am sending the brethren so that our boasting about you may not prove vain in this case, so that you may be ready, as I said you would be;

rsv@2Corinthians:9:5 @ So I thought it necessary to urge the brethren to go on to you before me, and arrange in advance for this gift you have promised, so that it may be ready not as an exaction but as a willing gift.

rsv@2Corinthians:9:7 @ Each one must do as he has made up his mind, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

rsv@2Corinthians:9:9 @ As it is written, "He scatters abroad, he gives to the poor; his righteousness endures for ever."

rsv@2Corinthians:9:10 @ He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your resources and increase the harvest of your righteousness.

rsv@2Corinthians:9:14 @ while they long for you and pray for you, because of the surpassing grace of God in you.

rsv@2Corinthians:10:2 @ I beg of you that when I am present I may not have to show boldness with such confidence as I count on showing against some who suspect us of acting in worldly fashion.

rsv@2Corinthians:10:7 @ Look at what is before your eyes. If any one is confident that he is Christ's, let him remind himself that as he is Christ's, so are we.

rsv@2Corinthians:10:8 @ For even if I boast a little too much of our authority, which the Lord gave for building you up and not for destroying you, I shall not be put to shame.

rsv@2Corinthians:10:12 @ Not that we venture to class or compare ourselves with some of those who commend themselves. But when they measure themselves by one another, and compare themselves with one another, they are without understanding.

rsv@2Corinthians:10:13 @ But we will not boast beyond limit, but will keep to the limits God has apportioned us, to reach even to you.

rsv@2Corinthians:10:14 @ For we are not overextending ourselves, as though we did not reach you; we were the first to come all the way to you with the gospel of Christ.

rsv@2Corinthians:10:15 @ We do not boast beyond limit, in other men's labors; but our hope is that as your faith increases, our field among you may be greatly enlarged,

rsv@2Corinthians:10:16 @ so that we may preach the gospel in lands beyond you, without boasting of work already done in another's field.

rsv@2Corinthians:10:17 @ "Let him who boasts, boast of the Lord."

rsv@2Corinthians:11:2 @ I feel a divine jealousy for you, for I betrothed you to Christ to present you as a pure bride to her one husband.

rsv@2Corinthians:11:3 @ But I am afraid that as the serpent deceived Eve by his cunning, your thoughts will be led astray from a sincere and pure devotion to Christ.

rsv@2Corinthians:11:5 @ I think that I am not in the least inferior to these superlative apostles.

rsv@2Corinthians:11:7 @ Did I commit a sin in abasing myself so that you might be exalted, because I preached God's gospel without cost to you?

rsv@2Corinthians:11:9 @ And when I was with you and was in want, I did not burden any one, for my needs were supplied by the brethren who came from Macedo'nia. So I refrained and will refrain from burdening you in any way.

rsv@2Corinthians:11:10 @ As the truth of Christ is in me, this boast of mine shall not be silenced in the regions of Acha'ia.

rsv@2Corinthians:11:12 @ And what I do I will continue to do, in order to undermine the claim of those who would like to claim that in their boasted mission they work on the same terms as we do.

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

rsv@2Corinthians:11:14 @ And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.

rsv@2Corinthians:11:15 @ So it is not strange if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds.

rsv@2Corinthians:11:16 @ I repeat, let no one think me foolish; but even if you do, accept me as a fool, so that I too may boast a little.

rsv@2Corinthians:11:17 @ (What I am saying I say not with the Lord's authority but as a fool, in this boastful confidence;

rsv@2Corinthians:11:18 @ since many boast of worldly things, I too will boast.)

rsv@2Corinthians:11:21 @ To my shame, I must say, we were too weak for that! But whatever any one dares to boast of--I am speaking as a fool--I also dare to boast of that.

rsv@2Corinthians:11:24 @ Five times I have received at the hands of the Jews the forty lashes less one.

rsv@2Corinthians:11:25 @ Three times I have been beaten with rods; once I was stoned. Three times I have been shipwrecked; a night and a day I have been adrift at sea;

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

rsv@2Corinthians:11:32 @ At Damascus, the governor under King Ar'etas guarded the city of Damascus in order to seize me,

rsv@2Corinthians:11:33 @ but I was let down in a basket through a window in the wall, and escaped his hands.

rsv@2Corinthians:12:1 @ I must boast; there is nothing to be gained by it, but I will go on to visions and revelations of the Lord.

rsv@2Corinthians:12:2 @ I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven--whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows.

rsv@2Corinthians:12:3 @ And I know that this man was caught up into Paradise--whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows--

rsv@2Corinthians:12:5 @ On behalf of this man I will boast, but on my own behalf I will not boast, except of my weaknesses.

rsv@2Corinthians:12:6 @ Though if I wish to boast, I shall not be a fool, for I shall be speaking the truth. But I refrain from it, so that no one may think more of me than he sees in me or hears from me.

rsv@2Corinthians:12:7 @ And to keep me from being too elated by the abundance of revelations, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan, to harass me, to keep me from being too elated.

rsv@2Corinthians:12:9 @ but he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." I will all the more gladly boast of my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

rsv@2Corinthians:12:11 @ I have been a fool! You forced me to it, for I ought to have been commended by you. For I was not at all inferior to these superlative apostles, even though I am nothing.

rsv@2Corinthians:12:16 @ But granting that I myself did not burden you, I was crafty, you say, and got the better of you by guile.

rsv@2Corinthians:13:2 @ I warned those who sinned before and all the others, and I warn them now while absent, as I did when present on my second visit, that if I come again I will not spare them--

rsv@2Corinthians:13:4 @ For he was crucified in weakness, but lives by the power of God. For we are weak in him, but in dealing with you we shall live with him by the power of God.

rsv@2Corinthians:13:10 @ I write this while I am away from you, in order that when I come I may not have to be severe in my use of the authority which the Lord has given me for building up and not for tearing down.

rsv@Galatians:1:6 @ I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and turning to a different gospel--

rsv@Galatians:1:9 @ As we have said before, so now I say again, If any one is preaching to you a gospel contrary to that which you received, let him be accursed.

rsv@Galatians:1:10 @ Am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still pleasing men, I should not be a servant of Christ.

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

rsv@Galatians:1:12 @ For I did not receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came through a revelation of Jesus Christ.

rsv@Galatians:1:14 @ and I advanced in Judaism beyond many of my own age among my people, so extremely zealous was I for the traditions of my fathers.

rsv@Galatians:1:15 @ But when he who had set me apart before I was born, and had called me through his grace,

rsv@Galatians:1:16 @ was pleased to reveal his Son to me, in order that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I did not confer with flesh and blood,

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

rsv@Galatians:1:18 @ Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas, and remained with him fifteen days.

rsv@Galatians:1:22 @ And I was still not known by sight to the churches of Christ in Judea;

rsv@Galatians:2:1 @ Then after fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus along with me.

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

rsv@Galatians:2:7 @ but on the contrary, when they saw that I had been entrusted with the gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been entrusted with the gospel to the circumcised

rsv@Galatians:2:9 @ and when they perceived the grace that was given to me, James and Cephas and John, who were reputed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised;

rsv@Galatians:2:10 @ only they would have us remember the poor, which very thing I was eager to do.

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

rsv@Galatians:2:13 @ And with him the rest of the Jews acted insincerely, so that even Barnabas was carried away by their insincerity.

rsv@Galatians:2:14 @ But when I saw that they were not straightforward about the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas before them all, "If you, though a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you compel the Gentiles to live like Jews?"

rsv@Galatians:3:1 @ O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified?

rsv@Galatians:3:2 @ Let me ask you only this: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law, or by hearing with faith?

rsv@Galatians:3:6 @ Thus Abraham "believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness."

rsv@Galatians:3:15 @ To give a human example, brethren: no one annuls even a man's will, or adds to it, once it has been ratified.

rsv@Galatians:3:17 @ This is what I mean: the law, which came four hundred and thirty years afterward, does not annul a covenant previously ratified by God, so as to make the promise void.

rsv@Galatians:3:19 @ Why then the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the offspring should come to whom the promise had been made; and it was ordained by angels through an intermediary.

rsv@Galatians:3:22 @ But the scripture consigned all things to sin, that what was promised to faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.

rsv@Galatians:3:24 @ So that the law was our custodian until Christ came, that we might be justified by faith.

rsv@Galatians:3:25 @ But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a custodian;

rsv@Galatians:3:27 @ For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

rsv@Galatians:4:1 @ I mean that the heir, as long as he is a child, is no better than a slave, though he is the owner of all the estate;

rsv@Galatians:4:5 @ to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons.

rsv@Galatians:4:6 @ And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, "Abba! Father!"

rsv@Galatians:4:10 @ You observe days, and months, and seasons, and years!

rsv@Galatians:4:12 @ Brethren, I beseech you, become as I am, for I also have become as you are. You did me no wrong;

rsv@Galatians:4:13 @ you know it was because of a bodily ailment that I preached the gospel to you at first;

rsv@Galatians:4:14 @ and though my condition was a trial to you, you did not scorn or despise me, but received me as an angel of God, as Christ Jesus.

rsv@Galatians:4:15 @ What has become of the satisfaction you felt? For I bear you witness that, if possible, you would have plucked out your eyes and given them to me.

rsv@Galatians:4:23 @ But the son of the slave was born according to the flesh, the son of the free woman through promise.

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

rsv@Galatians:4:30 @ But what does the scripture say? "Cast out the slave and her son; for the son of the slave shall not inherit with the son of the free woman."

rsv@Galatians:5:1 @ For freedom Christ has set us free; stand fast therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.

rsv@Galatians:5:8 @ This persuasion is not from him who calls you.

rsv@Galatians:5:11 @ But if I, brethren, still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? In that case the stumbling block of the cross has been removed.

rsv@Galatians:5:13 @ For you were called to freedom, brethren; only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love be servants of one another.

rsv@Galatians:5:14 @ For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."

rsv@Galatians:5:21 @ envy, drunkenness, carousing, and the like. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

rsv@Galatians:5:24 @ And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

rsv@Galatians:6:1 @ Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Look to yourself, lest you too be tempted.

rsv@Galatians:6:4 @ But let each one test his own work, and then his reason to boast will be in himself alone and not in his neighbor.

rsv@Galatians:6:9 @ And let us not grow weary in well-doing, for in due season we shall reap, if we do not lose heart.

rsv@Galatians:6:10 @ So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all men, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.

rsv@Galatians:6:14 @ But far be it from me to glory except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

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

rsv@Ephesians:1:4 @ even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him.

rsv@Ephesians:1:7 @ In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace

rsv@Ephesians:1:9 @ For he has made known to us in all wisdom and insight the mystery of his will, according to his purpose which he set forth in Christ

rsv@Ephesians:1:10 @ as a plan for the fulness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth.

rsv@Ephesians:1:15 @ For this reason, because I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints,

rsv@Ephesians:1:16 @ I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers,

rsv@Ephesians:1:18 @ having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints,

rsv@Ephesians:1:19 @ and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power in us who believe, according to the working of his great might

rsv@Ephesians:1:22 @ and he has put all things under his feet and has made him the head over all things for the church,

rsv@Ephesians:2:1 @ And you he made alive, when you were dead through the trespasses and sins

rsv@Ephesians:2:3 @ Among these we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, following the desires of body and mind, and so we were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind.

rsv@Ephesians:2:5 @ even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),

rsv@Ephesians:2:7 @ that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

rsv@Ephesians:2:9 @ not because of works, lest any man should boast.

rsv@Ephesians:2:14 @ For he is our peace, who has made us both one, and has broken down the dividing wall of hostility,

rsv@Ephesians:3:1 @ For this reason I, Paul, a prisoner for Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles--

rsv@Ephesians:3:2 @ assuming that you have heard of the stewardship of God's grace that was given to me for you,

rsv@Ephesians:3:3 @ how the mystery was made known to me by revelation, as I have written briefly.

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

rsv@Ephesians:3:7 @ Of this gospel I was made a minister according to the gift of God's grace which was given me by the working of his power.

rsv@Ephesians:3:8 @ To me, though I am the very least of all the saints, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,

rsv@Ephesians:3:11 @ This was according to the eternal purpose which he has realized in Christ Jesus our Lord,

rsv@Ephesians:3:13 @ So I ask you not to lose heart over what I am suffering for you, which is your glory.

rsv@Ephesians:3:14 @ For this reason I bow my knees before the Father,

rsv@Ephesians:3:19 @ and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fulness of God.

rsv@Ephesians:3:20 @ Now to him who by the power at work within us is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think,

rsv@Ephesians:4:4 @ There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call,

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

rsv@Ephesians:4:8 @ Therefore it is said, "When he ascended on high he led a host of captives, and he gave gifts to men."

rsv@Ephesians:4:9 @ (In saying, "He ascended," what does it mean but that he had also descended into the lower parts of the earth?

rsv@Ephesians:4:10 @ He who descended is he who also ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.)

rsv@Ephesians:4:11 @ And his gifts were that some should be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers,

rsv@Ephesians:4:13 @ until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ;

rsv@Ephesians:4:17 @ Now this I affirm and testify in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their minds;

rsv@Ephesians:4:21 @ assuming that you have heard about him and were taught in him, as the truth is in Jesus.

rsv@Ephesians:4:29 @ Let no evil talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for edifying, as fits the occasion, that it may impart grace to those who hear.

rsv@Ephesians:4:32 @ and be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.

rsv@Ephesians:5:1 @ Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children.

rsv@Ephesians:5:2 @ And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

rsv@Ephesians:5:3 @ But fornication and all impurity or covetousness must not even be named among you, as is fitting among saints.

rsv@Ephesians:5:5 @ Be sure of this, that no fornicator or impure man, or one who is covetous (that is, an idolater), has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

rsv@Ephesians:5:7 @ Therefore do not associate with them,

rsv@Ephesians:5:8 @ for once you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord; walk as children of light

rsv@Ephesians:5:10 @ and try to learn what is pleasing to the Lord.

rsv@Ephesians:5:15 @ Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise men but as wise,

rsv@Ephesians:5:22 @ Wives, be subject to your husbands, as to the Lord.

rsv@Ephesians:5:23 @ For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior.

rsv@Ephesians:5:24 @ As the church is subject to Christ, so let wives also be subject in everything to their husbands.

rsv@Ephesians:5:25 @ Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her,

rsv@Ephesians:5:26 @ that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word,

rsv@Ephesians:5:28 @ Even so husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.

rsv@Ephesians:5:29 @ For no man ever hates his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, as Christ does the church,

rsv@Ephesians:5:31 @ "For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh."

rsv@Ephesians:5:33 @ however, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.

rsv@Ephesians:6:5 @ Slaves, be obedient to those who are your earthly masters, with fear and trembling, in singleness of heart, as to Christ;

rsv@Ephesians:6:6 @ not in the way of eye-service, as men-pleasers, but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart,

rsv@Ephesians:6:7 @ rendering service with a good will as to the Lord and not to men,

rsv@Ephesians:6:9 @ Masters, do the same to them, and forbear threatening, knowing that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and that there is no partiality with him.

rsv@Ephesians:6:14 @ Stand therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,

rsv@Ephesians:6:20 @ for which I am an ambassador in chains; that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak.

rsv@Philippians:1:12 @ I want you to know, brethren, that what has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel,

rsv@Philippians:1:13 @ so that it has become known throughout the whole praetorian guard and to all the rest that my imprisonment is for Christ;

rsv@Philippians:1:20 @ as it is my eager expectation and hope that I shall not be at all ashamed, but that with full courage now as always Christ will be honored in my body, whether by life or by death.

rsv@Philippians:1:29 @ For it has been granted to you that for the sake of Christ you should not only believe in him but also suffer for his sake,

rsv@Philippians:2:6 @ who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped,

rsv@Philippians:2:9 @ Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name which is above every name,

rsv@Philippians:2:12 @ Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling;

rsv@Philippians:2:13 @ for God is at work in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.

rsv@Philippians:2:15 @ that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world,

rsv@Philippians:2:16 @ holding fast the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I may be proud that I did not run in vain or labor in vain.

rsv@Philippians:2:17 @ Even if I am to be poured as a libation upon the sacrificial offering of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all.

rsv@Philippians:2:22 @ But Timothy's worth you know, how as a son with a father he has served with me in the gospel.

rsv@Philippians:2:23 @ I hope therefore to send him just as soon as I see how it will go with me;

rsv@Philippians:2:26 @ for he has been longing for you all, and has been distressed because you heard that he was ill.

rsv@Philippians:2:27 @ Indeed he was ill, near to death. But God had mercy on him, and not only on him but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.

rsv@Philippians:3:4 @ Though I myself have reason for confidence in the flesh also. If any other man thinks he has reason for confidence in the flesh, I have more:

rsv@Philippians:3:5 @ circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew born of Hebrews; as to the law a Pharisee,

rsv@Philippians:3:6 @ as to zeal a persecutor of the church, as to righteousness under the law blameless.

rsv@Philippians:3:7 @ But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ.

rsv@Philippians:3:8 @ Indeed I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as refuse, in order that I may gain Christ

rsv@Philippians:3:9 @ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own, based on law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith;

rsv@Philippians:3:12 @ Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect; but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own.

rsv@Philippians:3:17 @ Brethren, join in imitating me, and mark those who so live as you have an example in us.

rsv@Philippians:3:18 @ For many, of whom I have often told you and now tell you even with tears, live as enemies of the cross of Christ.

rsv@Philippians:4:3 @ And I ask you also, true yokefellow, help these women, for they have labored side by side with me in the gospel together with Clement and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the book of life.

rsv@Philippians:4:7 @ And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, will keep your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

rsv@Philippians:4:12 @ I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound; in any and all circumstances I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and want.

rsv@Philippians:4:14 @ Yet it was kind of you to share my trouble.

rsv@Philippians:4:17 @ Not that I seek the gift; but I seek the fruit which increases to your credit.

rsv@Philippians:4:18 @ I have received full payment, and more; I am filled, having received from Epaphrodi'tus the gifts you sent, a fragrant offering, a sacrifice acceptable and pleasing to God.

rsv@Colossians:1:6 @ which has come to you, as indeed in the whole world it is bearing fruit and growing--so among yourselves, from the day you heard and understood the grace of God in truth,

rsv@Colossians:1:7 @ as you learned it from Ep'aphras our beloved fellow servant. He is a faithful minister of Christ on our behalf

rsv@Colossians:1:8 @ and has made known to us your love in the Spirit.

rsv@Colossians:1:9 @ And so, from the day we heard of it, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,

rsv@Colossians:1:10 @ to lead a life worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God.

rsv@Colossians:1:12 @ giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in light.

rsv@Colossians:1:13 @ He has delivered us from the dominion of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son,

rsv@Colossians:1:19 @ For in him all the fulness of God was pleased to dwell,

rsv@Colossians:1:22 @ he has now reconciled in his body of flesh by his death, in order to present you holy and blameless and irreproachable before him,

rsv@Colossians:1:23 @ provided that you continue in the faith, stable and steadfast, not shifting from the hope of the gospel which you heard, which has been preached to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, became a minister.

rsv@Colossians:1:25 @ of which I became a minister according to the divine office which was given to me for you, to make the word of God fully known,

rsv@Colossians:2:2 @ that their hearts may be encouraged as they are knit together in love, to have all the riches of assured understanding and the knowledge of God's mystery, of Christ,

rsv@Colossians:2:3 @ in whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

rsv@Colossians:2:6 @ As therefore you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so live in him,

rsv@Colossians:2:7 @ rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.

rsv@Colossians:2:13 @ And you, who were dead in trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses,

rsv@Colossians:2:14 @ having canceled the bond which stood against us with its legal demands; this he set aside, nailing it to the cross.

rsv@Colossians:2:16 @ Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a sabbath.

rsv@Colossians:2:18 @ Let no one disqualify you, insisting on self-abasement and worship of angels, taking his stand on visions, puffed up without reason by his sensuous mind,

rsv@Colossians:2:19 @ and not holding fast to the Head, from whom the whole body, nourished and knit together through its joints and ligaments, grows with a growth that is from God.

rsv@Colossians:2:20 @ If with Christ you died to the elemental spirits of the universe, why do you live as if you still belonged to the world? Why do you submit to regulations,

rsv@Colossians:2:21 @ "Do not handle, Do not taste, Do not touch"

rsv@Colossians:2:22 @ (referring to things which all perish as they are used), according to human precepts and doctrines?

rsv@Colossians:2:23 @ These have indeed an appearance of wisdom in promoting rigor of devotion and self-abasement and severity to the body, but they are of no value in checking the indulgence of the flesh.

rsv@Colossians:3:5 @ Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: fornication, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.

rsv@Colossians:3:12 @ Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassion, kindness, lowliness, meekness, and patience,

rsv@Colossians:3:13 @ forbearing one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive.

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

rsv@Colossians:3:20 @ Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord.

rsv@Colossians:3:22 @ Slaves, obey in everything those who are your earthly masters, not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing the Lord.

rsv@Colossians:3:23 @ Whatever your task, work heartily, as serving the Lord and not men,

rsv@Colossians:3:24 @ knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward; you are serving the Lord Christ.

rsv@Colossians:3:25 @ For the wrongdoer will be paid back for the wrong he has done, and there is no partiality.

rsv@Colossians:4:1 @ Masters, treat your slaves justly and fairly, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.

rsv@Colossians:4:2 @ Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving;

rsv@Colossians:4:4 @ that I may make it clear, as I ought to speak.

rsv@Colossians:4:6 @ Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer every one.

rsv@Colossians:4:9 @ and with him Ones'imus, the faithful and beloved brother, who is one of yourselves. They will tell you of everything that has taken place here.

rsv@Colossians:4:10 @ Aristar'chus my fellow prisoner greets you, and Mark the cousin of Barnabas (concerning whom you have received instructions--if he comes to you, receive him),

rsv@Colossians:4:12 @ Ep'aphras, who is one of yourselves, a servant of Christ Jesus, greets you, always remembering you earnestly in his prayers, that you may stand mature and fully assured in all the will of God.

rsv@Colossians:4:13 @ For I bear him witness that he has worked hard for you and for those in La-odice'a and in Hi-erap'olis.

rsv@Colossians:4:14 @ Luke the beloved physician and Demas greet you.

rsv@Colossians:4:16 @ And when this letter has been read among you, have it read also in the church of the La-odice'ans; and see that you read also the letter from La-odice'a.

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

rsv@1Thessalonians:1:4 @ For we know, brethren beloved by God, that he has chosen you;

rsv@1Thessalonians:1:8 @ For not only has the word of the Lord sounded forth from you in Macedo'nia and Acha'ia, but your faith in God has gone forth everywhere, so that we need not say anything.

rsv@1Thessalonians:2:1 @ For you yourselves know, brethren, that our visit to you was not in vain;

rsv@1Thessalonians:2:2 @ but though we had already suffered and been shamefully treated at Philip'pi, as you know, we had courage in our God to declare to you the gospel of God in the face of great opposition.

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

rsv@1Thessalonians:2:5 @ For we never used either words of flattery, as you know, or a cloak for greed, as God is witness;

rsv@1Thessalonians:2:6 @ nor did we seek glory from men, whether from you or from others, though we might have made demands as apostles of Christ.

rsv@1Thessalonians:2:10 @ You are witnesses, and God also, how holy and righteous and blameless was our behavior to you believers;

rsv@1Thessalonians:2:13 @ And we also thank God constantly for this, that when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men but as what it really is, the word of God, which is at work in you believers.

rsv@1Thessalonians:2:14 @ For you, brethren, became imitators of the churches of God in Christ Jesus which are in Judea; for you suffered the same things from your own countrymen as they did from the Jews,

rsv@1Thessalonians:2:15 @ who killed both the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and drove us out, and displease God and oppose all men

rsv@1Thessalonians:2:16 @ by hindering us from speaking to the Gentiles that they may be saved--so as always to fill up the measure of their sins. But God's wrath has come upon them at last!

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

rsv@1Thessalonians:3:4 @ For when we were with you, we told you beforehand that we were to suffer affliction; just as it has come to pass, and as you know.

rsv@1Thessalonians:3:5 @ For this reason, when I could bear it no longer, I sent that I might know your faith, for fear that somehow the tempter had tempted you and that our labor would be in vain.

rsv@1Thessalonians:3:6 @ But now that Timothy has come to us from you, and has brought us the good news of your faith and love and reported that you always remember us kindly and long to see us, as we long to see you--

rsv@1Thessalonians:3:7 @ for this reason, brethren, in all our distress and affliction we have been comforted about you through your faith;

rsv@1Thessalonians:3:8 @ for now we live, if you stand fast in the Lord.

rsv@1Thessalonians:3:12 @ and may the Lord make you increase and abound in love to one another and to all men, as we do to you,

rsv@1Thessalonians:4:1 @ Finally, brethren, we beseech and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that as you learned from us how you ought to live and to please God, just as you are doing, you do so more and more.

rsv@1Thessalonians:4:3 @ For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from unchastity;

rsv@1Thessalonians:4:5 @ not in the passion of lust like heathen who do not know God;

rsv@1Thessalonians:4:6 @ that no man transgress, and wrong his brother in this matter, because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as we solemnly forewarned you.

rsv@1Thessalonians:4:7 @ For God has not called us for uncleanness, but in holiness.

rsv@1Thessalonians:4:11 @ to aspire to live quietly, to mind your own affairs, and to work with your hands, as we charged you;

rsv@1Thessalonians:4:13 @ But we would not have you ignorant, brethren, concerning those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope.

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

rsv@1Thessalonians:4:15 @ For this we declare to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, shall not precede those who have fallen asleep.

rsv@1Thessalonians:5:1 @ But as to the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need to have anything written to you.

rsv@1Thessalonians:5:3 @ When people say, "There is peace and security," then sudden destruction will come upon them as travail comes upon a woman with child, and there will be no escape.

rsv@1Thessalonians:5:6 @ So then let us not sleep, as others do, but let us keep awake and be sober.

rsv@1Thessalonians:5:8 @ But, since we belong to the day, let us be sober, and put on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation.

rsv@1Thessalonians:5:9 @ For God has not destined us for wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

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

rsv@1Thessalonians:5:21 @ but test everything; hold fast what is good,

rsv@2Thessalonians:1:3 @ We are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, as is fitting, because your faith is growing abundantly, and the love of every one of you for one another is increasing.

rsv@2Thessalonians:1:4 @ Therefore we ourselves boast of you in the churches of God for your steadfastness and faith in all your persecutions and in the afflictions which you are enduring.

rsv@2Thessalonians:1:10 @ when he comes on that day to be glorified in his saints, and to be marveled at in all who have believed, because our testimony to you was believed.

rsv@2Thessalonians:2:1 @ Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our assembling to meet him, we beg you, brethren,

rsv@2Thessalonians:2:2 @ not to be quickly shaken in mind or excited, either by spirit or by word, or by letter purporting to be from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come.

rsv@2Thessalonians:2:5 @ Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you this?

rsv@2Thessalonians:2:12 @ so that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

rsv@2Thessalonians:3:1 @ Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may speed on and triumph, as it did among you,

rsv@2Thessalonians:3:5 @ May the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God and to the steadfastness of Christ.

rsv@2Thessalonians:3:9 @ It was not because we have not that right, but to give you in our conduct an example to imitate.

rsv@2Thessalonians:3:14 @ If any one refuses to obey what we say in this letter, note that man, and have nothing to do with him, that he may be ashamed.

rsv@2Thessalonians:3:15 @ Do not look on him as an enemy, but warn him as a brother.

rsv@1Timothy:1:3 @ As I urged you when I was going to Macedonia, remain at Ephesus that you may charge certain persons not to teach any different doctrine,

rsv@1Timothy:1:5 @ whereas the aim of our charge is love that issues from a pure heart and a good conscience and sincere faith.

rsv@1Timothy:1:7 @ desiring to be teachers of the law, without understanding either what they are saying or the things about which they make assertions.

rsv@1Timothy:1:12 @ I thank him who has given me strength for this, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he judged me faithful by appointing me to his service,

rsv@1Timothy:1:13 @ though I formerly blasphemed and persecuted and insulted him; but I received mercy because I had acted ignorantly in unbelief,

rsv@1Timothy:1:16 @ but I received mercy for this reason, that in me, as the foremost, Jesus Christ might display his perfect patience for an example to those who were to believe in him for eternal life.

rsv@1Timothy:1:20 @ among them Hymenae'us and Alexander, whom I have delivered to Satan that they may learn not to blaspheme.

rsv@1Timothy:2:6 @ who gave himself as a ransom for all, the testimony to which was borne at the proper time.

rsv@1Timothy:2:7 @ For this I was appointed a preacher and apostle (I am telling the truth, I am not lying), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

rsv@1Timothy:2:10 @ but by good deeds, as befits women who profess religion.

rsv@1Timothy:2:13 @ For Adam was formed first, then Eve;

rsv@1Timothy:2:14 @ and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor.

rsv@1Timothy:3:1 @ The saying is sure: If any one aspires to the office of bishop, he desires a noble task.

rsv@1Timothy:3:10 @ And let them also be tested first; then if they prove themselves blameless let them serve as deacons.

rsv@1Timothy:3:13 @ for those who serve well as deacons gain a good standing for themselves and also great confidence in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.

rsv@1Timothy:3:16 @ Great indeed, we confess, is the mystery of our religion: He was manifested in the flesh, vindicated in the Spirit, seen by angels, preached among the nations, believed on in the world, taken up in glory.

rsv@1Timothy:4:8 @ for while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.

rsv@1Timothy:4:14 @ Do not neglect the gift you have, which was given you by prophetic utterance when the council of elders laid their hands upon you.

rsv@1Timothy:5:1 @ Do not rebuke an older man but exhort him as you would a father; treat younger men like brothers,

rsv@1Timothy:5:4 @ If a widow has children or grandchildren, let them first learn their religious duty to their own family and make some return to their parents; for this is acceptable in the sight of God.

rsv@1Timothy:5:5 @ She who is a real widow, and is left all alone, has set her hope on God and continues in supplications and prayers night and day;

rsv@1Timothy:5:6 @ whereas she who is self-indulgent is dead even while she lives.

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

rsv@1Timothy:5:10 @ and she must be well attested for her good deeds, as one who has brought up children, shown hospitality, washed the feet of the saints, relieved the afflicted, and devoted herself to doing good in every way.

rsv@1Timothy:5:14 @ So I would have younger widows marry, bear children, rule their households, and give the enemy no occasion to revile us.

rsv@1Timothy:5:16 @ If any believing woman has relatives who are widows, let her assist them; let the church not be burdened, so that it may assist those who are real widows.

rsv@1Timothy:5:20 @ As for those who persist in sin, rebuke them in the presence of all, so that the rest may stand in fear.

rsv@1Timothy:5:22 @ Do not be hasty in the laying on of hands, nor participate in another man's sins; keep yourself pure.

rsv@1Timothy:6:1 @ Let all who are under the yoke of slavery regard their masters as worthy of all honor, so that the name of God and the teaching may not be defamed.

rsv@1Timothy:6:2 @ Those who have believing masters must not be disrespectful on the ground that they are brethren; rather they must serve all the better since those who benefit by their service are believers and beloved. Teach and urge these duties.

rsv@1Timothy:6:4 @ he is puffed up with conceit, he knows nothing; he has a morbid craving for controversy and for disputes about words, which produce envy, dissension, slander, base suspicions,

rsv@1Timothy:6:11 @ But as for you, man of God, shun all this; aim at righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, gentleness.

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

rsv@1Timothy:6:17 @ As for the rich in this world, charge them not to be haughty, nor to set their hopes on uncertain riches but on God who richly furnishes us with everything to enjoy.

rsv@1Timothy:6:20 @ O Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to you. Avoid the godless chatter and contradictions of what is falsely called knowledge,

rsv@1Timothy:6:21 @ for by professing it some have missed the mark as regards the faith. Grace be with you.

rsv@2Timothy:1:3 @ I thank God whom I serve with a clear conscience, as did my fathers, when I remember you constantly in my prayers.

rsv@2Timothy:1:4 @ As I remember your tears, I long night and day to see you, that I may be filled with joy.

rsv@2Timothy:1:8 @ Do not be ashamed then of testifying to our Lord, nor of me his prisoner, but share in suffering for the gospel in the power of God,

rsv@2Timothy:1:10 @ and now has manifested through the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.

rsv@2Timothy:1:11 @ For this gospel I was appointed a preacher and apostle and teacher,

rsv@2Timothy:1:12 @ and therefore I suffer as I do. But I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed, and I am sure that he is able to guard until that Day what has been entrusted to me.

rsv@2Timothy:1:14 @ guard the truth that has been entrusted to you by the Holy Spirit who dwells within us.

rsv@2Timothy:1:15 @ You are aware that all who are in Asia turned away from me, and among them Phy'gelus and Hermog'enes.

rsv@2Timothy:1:16 @ May the Lord grant mercy to the household of Onesiph'orus, for he often refreshed me; he was not ashamed of my chains,

rsv@2Timothy:2:3 @ Share in suffering as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.

rsv@2Timothy:2:8 @ Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, descended from David, as preached in my gospel,

rsv@2Timothy:2:15 @ Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.

rsv@2Timothy:2:18 @ who have swerved from the truth by holding that the resurrection is past already. They are upsetting the faith of some.

rsv@2Timothy:2:21 @ If any one purifies himself from what is ignoble, then he will be a vessel for noble use, consecrated and useful to the master of the house, ready for any good work.

rsv@2Timothy:2:22 @ So shun youthful passions and aim at righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call upon the Lord from a pure heart.

rsv@2Timothy:3:1 @ But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of stress.

rsv@2Timothy:3:4 @ treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,

rsv@2Timothy:3:8 @ As Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, men of corrupt mind and counterfeit faith;

rsv@2Timothy:3:9 @ but they will not get very far, for their folly will be plain to all, as was that of those two men.

rsv@2Timothy:3:10 @ Now you have observed my teaching, my conduct, my aim in life, my faith, my patience, my love, my steadfastness,

rsv@2Timothy:3:14 @ But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it

rsv@2Timothy:4:2 @ preach the word, be urgent in season and out of season, convince, rebuke, and exhort, be unfailing in patience and in teaching.

rsv@2Timothy:4:5 @ As for you, always be steady, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfil your ministry.

rsv@2Timothy:4:6 @ For I am already on the point of being sacrificed; the time of my departure has come.

rsv@2Timothy:4:10 @ For Demas, in love with this present world, has deserted me and gone to Thessaloni'ca; Crescens has gone to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia.

rsv@2Timothy:4:13 @ When you come, bring the cloak that I left with Carpus at Tro'as, also the books, and above all the parchments.

rsv@2Timothy:4:17 @ But the Lord stood by me and gave me strength to proclaim the message fully, that all the Gentiles might hear it. So I was rescued from the lion's mouth.

rsv@2Timothy:4:20 @ Eras'tus remained at Corinth; Troph'imus I left ill at Mile'tus.

rsv@2Timothy:4:21 @ Do your best to come before winter. Eubu'lus sends greetings to you, as do Pudens and Linus and Claudia and all the brethren.

rsv@Titus:1:5 @ This is why I left you in Crete, that you might amend what was defective, and appoint elders in every town as I directed you,

rsv@Titus:1:7 @ For a bishop, as God's steward, must be blameless; he must not be arrogant or quick-tempered or a drunkard or violent or greedy for gain,

rsv@Titus:1:8 @ but hospitable, a lover of goodness, master of himself, upright, holy, and self-controlled;

rsv@Philemon:1:24 @ and so do Mark, Aristar'chus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers.

rsv@Hebrews:1:2 @ but in these last days he has spoken to us by a Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world.

rsv@Hebrews:1:4 @ having become as much superior to angels as the name he has obtained is more excellent than theirs.

rsv@Hebrews:1:9 @ Thou hast loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; therefore God, thy God, has anointed thee with the oil of gladness beyond thy comrades."

rsv@Hebrews:1:13 @ But to what angel has he ever said, "Sit at my right hand, till I make thy enemies a stool for thy feet"?

rsv@Hebrews:2:2 @ For if the message declared by angels was valid and every transgression or disobedience received a just retribution,

rsv@Hebrews:2:3 @ how shall we escape if we neglect such a great salvation? It was declared at first by the Lord, and it was attested to us by those who heard him,

rsv@Hebrews:2:5 @ For it was not to angels that God subjected the world to come, of which we are speaking.

rsv@Hebrews:2:6 @ It has been testified somewhere, "What is man that thou art mindful of him, or the son of man, that thou carest for him?

rsv@Hebrews:2:7 @ Thou didst make him for a little while lower than the angels, thou hast crowned him with glory and honor,

rsv@Hebrews:2:8 @ putting everything in subjection under his feet." Now in putting everything in subjection to him, he left nothing outside his control. As it is, we do not yet see everything in subjection to him.

rsv@Hebrews:2:9 @ But we see Jesus, who for a little while was made lower than the angels, crowned with glory and honor because of the suffering of death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for every one.

rsv@Hebrews:2:10 @ For it was fitting that he, for whom and by whom all things exist, in bringing many sons to glory, should make the pioneer of their salvation perfect through suffering.

rsv@Hebrews:2:11 @ For he who sanctifies and those who are sanctified have all one origin. That is why he is not ashamed to call them brethren,

rsv@Hebrews:2:13 @ And again, "I will put my trust in him." And again, "Here am I, and the children God has given me."

rsv@Hebrews:2:14 @ Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same nature, that through death he might destroy him who has the power of death, that is, the devil,

rsv@Hebrews:2:18 @ For because he himself has suffered and been tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.

rsv@Hebrews:3:2 @ He was faithful to him who appointed him, just as Moses also was faithful in God's house.

rsv@Hebrews:3:3 @ Yet Jesus has been counted worthy of as much more glory than Moses as the builder of a house has more honor than the house.

rsv@Hebrews:3:5 @ Now Moses was faithful in all God's house as a servant, to testify to the things that were to be spoken later,

rsv@Hebrews:3:6 @ but Christ was faithful over God's house as a son. And we are his house if we hold fast our confidence and pride in our hope.

rsv@Hebrews:3:7 @ Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says, "Today, when you hear his voice,

rsv@Hebrews:3:8 @ do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, on the day of testing in the wilderness,

rsv@Hebrews:3:10 @ Therefore I was provoked with that generation, and said, `They always go astray in their hearts; they have not known my ways.'

rsv@Hebrews:3:11 @ As I swore in my wrath, `They shall never enter my rest.'"

rsv@Hebrews:3:13 @ But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called "today," that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.

rsv@Hebrews:3:15 @ while it is said, "Today, when you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion."

rsv@Hebrews:3:16 @ Who were they that heard and yet were rebellious? Was it not all those who left Egypt under the leadership of Moses?

rsv@Hebrews:3:17 @ And with whom was he provoked forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?

rsv@Hebrews:4:2 @ For good news came to us just as to them; but the message which they heard did not benefit them, because it did not meet with faith in the hearers.

rsv@Hebrews:4:3 @ For we who have believed enter that rest, as he has said, "As I swore in my wrath, `They shall never enter my rest,'" although his works were finished from the foundation of the world.

rsv@Hebrews:4:4 @ For he has somewhere spoken of the seventh day in this way, "And God rested on the seventh day from all his works."

rsv@Hebrews:4:10 @ for whoever enters God's rest also ceases from his labors as God did from his.

rsv@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.

rsv@Hebrews:4:15 @ For we have not a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin.

rsv@Hebrews:5:3 @ Because of this he is bound to offer sacrifice for his own sins as well as for those of the people.

rsv@Hebrews:5:4 @ And one does not take the honor upon himself, but he is called by God, just as Aaron was.

rsv@Hebrews:5:5 @ So also Christ did not exalt himself to be made a high priest, but was appointed by him who said to him, "Thou art my Son, today I have begotten thee";

rsv@Hebrews:5:6 @ as he says also in another place, "Thou art a priest for ever, after the order of Melchiz'edek."

rsv@Hebrews:5:7 @ In the days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to him who was able to save him from death, and he was heard for his godly fear.

rsv@Hebrews:5:8 @ Although he was a Son, he learned obedience through what he suffered;

rsv@Hebrews:6:4 @ For it is impossible to restore again to repentance those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit,

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

rsv@Hebrews:6:6 @ if they then commit apostasy, since they crucify the Son of God on their own account and hold him up to contempt.

rsv@Hebrews:6:7 @ For land which has drunk the rain that often falls upon it, and brings forth vegetation useful to those for whose sake it is cultivated, receives a blessing from God.

rsv@Hebrews:6:9 @ Though we speak thus, yet in your case, beloved, we feel sure of better things that belong to salvation.

rsv@Hebrews:6:10 @ For God is not so unjust as to overlook your work and the love which you showed for his sake in serving the saints, as you still do.

rsv@Hebrews:6:11 @ And we desire each one of you to show the same earnestness in realizing the full assurance of hope until the end,

rsv@Hebrews:6:19 @ We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, a hope that enters into the inner shrine behind the curtain,

rsv@Hebrews:6:20 @ where Jesus has gone as a forerunner on our behalf, having become a high priest for ever after the order of Melchiz'edek.

rsv@Hebrews:7:3 @ He is without father or mother or genealogy, and has neither beginning of days nor end of life, but resembling the Son of God he continues a priest for ever.

rsv@Hebrews:7:6 @ But this man who has not their genealogy received tithes from Abraham and blessed him who had the promises.

rsv@Hebrews:7:10 @ for he was still in the loins of his ancestor when Melchiz'edek met him.

rsv@Hebrews:7:12 @ For when there is a change in the priesthood, there is necessarily a change in the law as well.

rsv@Hebrews:7:13 @ For the one of whom these things are spoken belonged to another tribe, from which no one has ever served at the altar.

rsv@Hebrews:7:14 @ For it is evident that our Lord was descended from Judah, and in connection with that tribe Moses said nothing about priests.

rsv@Hebrews:7:16 @ who has become a priest, not according to a legal requirement concerning bodily descent but by the power of an indestructible life.

rsv@Hebrews:7:18 @ On the one hand, a former commandment is set aside because of its weakness and uselessness

rsv@Hebrews:7:20 @ And it was not without an oath.

rsv@Hebrews:7:21 @ Those who formerly became priests took their office without an oath, but this one was addressed with an oath, "The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind, `Thou art a priest for ever.'"

rsv@Hebrews:7:26 @ For it was fitting that we should have such a high priest, holy, blameless, unstained, separated from sinners, exalted above the heavens.

rsv@Hebrews:7:27 @ He has no need, like those high priests, to offer sacrifices daily, first for his own sins and then for those of the people; he did this once for all when he offered up himself.

rsv@Hebrews:7:28 @ Indeed, the law appoints men in their weakness as high priests, but the word of the oath, which came later than the law, appoints a Son who has been made perfect for ever.

rsv@Hebrews:8:5 @ They serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly sanctuary; for when Moses was about to erect the tent, he was instructed by God, saying, "See that you make everything according to the pattern which was shown you on the mountain."

rsv@Hebrews:8:6 @ But as it is, Christ has obtained a ministry which is as much more excellent than the old as the covenant he mediates is better, since it is enacted on better promises.

rsv@Hebrews:8:7 @ For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion for a second.

rsv@Hebrews:8:11 @ And they shall not teach every one his fellow or every one his brother, saying, `Know the Lord,' for all shall know me, from the least of them to the greatest.

rsv@Hebrews:8:13 @ In speaking of a new covenant he treats the first as obsolete. And what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.

rsv@Hebrews:9:2 @ For a tent was prepared, the outer one, in which were the lampstand and the table and the bread of the Presence; it is called the Holy Place.

rsv@Hebrews:9:8 @ By this the Holy Spirit indicates that the way into the sanctuary is not yet opened as long as the outer tent is still standing

rsv@Hebrews:9:11 @ But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things that have come, then through the greater and more perfect tent (not made with hands, that is, not of this creation)

rsv@Hebrews:9:13 @ For if the sprinkling of defiled persons with the blood of goats and bulls and with the ashes of a heifer sanctifies for the purification of the flesh,

rsv@Hebrews:9:15 @ Therefore he is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, since a death has occurred which redeems them from the transgressions under the first covenant.

rsv@Hebrews:9:17 @ For a will takes effect only at death, since it is not in force as long as the one who made it is alive.

rsv@Hebrews:9:18 @ Hence even the first covenant was not ratified without blood.

rsv@Hebrews:9:23 @ Thus it was necessary for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these rites, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

rsv@Hebrews:9:24 @ For Christ has entered, not into a sanctuary made with hands, a copy of the true one, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf.

rsv@Hebrews:9:25 @ Nor was it to offer himself repeatedly, as the high priest enters the Holy Place yearly with blood not his own;

rsv@Hebrews:9:26 @ for then he would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But as it is, he has appeared once for all at the end of the age to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

rsv@Hebrews:9:27 @ And just as it is appointed for men to die once, and after that comes judgment,

rsv@Hebrews:10:1 @ For since the law has but a shadow of the good things to come instead of the true form of these realities, it can never, by the same sacrifices which are continually offered year after year, make perfect those who draw near.

rsv@Hebrews:10:2 @ Otherwise, would they not have ceased to be offered? If the worshipers had once been cleansed, they would no longer have any consciousness of sin.

rsv@Hebrews:10:5 @ Consequently, when Christ came into the world, he said, "Sacrifices and offerings thou hast not desired, but a body hast thou prepared for me;

rsv@Hebrews:10:6 @ in burnt offerings and sin offerings thou hast taken no pleasure.

rsv@Hebrews:10:7 @ Then I said, `Lo, I have come to do thy will, O God,' as it is written of me in the roll of the book."

rsv@Hebrews:10:8 @ When he said above, "Thou hast neither desired nor taken pleasure in sacrifices and offerings and burnt offerings and sin offerings" (these are offered according to the law),

rsv@Hebrews:10:14 @ For by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are sanctified.

rsv@Hebrews:10:22 @ let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.

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

rsv@Hebrews:10:25 @ not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.

rsv@Hebrews:10:28 @ A man who has violated the law of Moses dies without mercy at the testimony of two or three witnesses.

rsv@Hebrews:10:29 @ How much worse punishment do you think will be deserved by the man who has spurned the Son of God, and profaned the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and outraged the Spirit of grace?

rsv@Hebrews:10:34 @ For you had compassion on the prisoners, and you joyfully accepted the plundering of your property, since you knew that you yourselves had a better possession and an abiding one.

rsv@Hebrews:10:35 @ Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward.

rsv@Hebrews:10:38 @ but my righteous one shall live by faith, and if he shrinks back, my soul has no pleasure in him."

rsv@Hebrews:11:1 @ Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.

rsv@Hebrews:11:3 @ By faith we understand that the world was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was made out of things which do not appear.

rsv@Hebrews:11:4 @ By faith Abel offered to God a more acceptable sacrifice than Cain, through which he received approval as righteous, God bearing witness by accepting his gifts; he died, but through his faith he is still speaking.

rsv@Hebrews:11:5 @ By faith Enoch was taken up so that he should not see death; and he was not found, because God had taken him. Now before he was taken he was attested as having pleased God.

rsv@Hebrews:11:6 @ And without faith it is impossible to please him. For whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.

rsv@Hebrews:11:7 @ By faith Noah, being warned by God concerning events as yet unseen, took heed and constructed an ark for the saving of his household; by this he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness which comes by faith.

rsv@Hebrews:11:8 @ By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place which he was to receive as an inheritance; and he went out, not knowing where he was to go.

rsv@Hebrews:11:9 @ By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, heirs with him of the same promise.

rsv@Hebrews:11:10 @ For he looked forward to the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

rsv@Hebrews:11:11 @ By faith Sarah herself received power to conceive, even when she was past the age, since she considered him faithful who had promised.

rsv@Hebrews:11:12 @ Therefore from one man, and him as good as dead, were born descendants as many as the stars of heaven and as the innumerable grains of sand by the seashore.

rsv@Hebrews:11:13 @ These all died in faith, not having received what was promised, but having seen it and greeted it from afar, and having acknowledged that they were strangers and exiles on the earth.

rsv@Hebrews:11:16 @ But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared for them a city.

rsv@Hebrews:11:17 @ By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises was ready to offer up his only son,

rsv@Hebrews:11:18 @ of whom it was said, "Through Isaac shall your descendants be named."

rsv@Hebrews:11:19 @ He considered that God was able to raise men even from the dead; hence, figuratively speaking, he did receive him back.

rsv@Hebrews:11:23 @ By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid for three months by his parents, because they saw that the child was beautiful; and they were not afraid of the king's edict.

rsv@Hebrews:11:24 @ By faith Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter,

rsv@Hebrews:11:25 @ choosing rather to share ill-treatment with the people of God than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin.

rsv@Hebrews:11:26 @ He considered abuse suffered for the Christ greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt, for he looked to the reward.

rsv@Hebrews:11:27 @ By faith he left Egypt, not being afraid of the anger of the king; for he endured as seeing him who is invisible.

rsv@Hebrews:11:28 @ By faith he kept the Passover and sprinkled the blood, so that the Destroyer of the first-born might not touch them.

rsv@Hebrews:11:29 @ By faith the people crossed the Red Sea as if on dry land; but the Egyptians, when they attempted to do the same, were drowned.

rsv@Hebrews:11:35 @ Women received their dead by resurrection. Some were tortured, refusing to accept release, that they might rise again to a better life.

rsv@Hebrews:11:38 @ of whom the world was not worthy-- wandering over deserts and mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.

rsv@Hebrews:11:39 @ And all these, though well attested by their faith, did not receive what was promised,

rsv@Hebrews:12:1 @ Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us,

rsv@Hebrews:12:2 @ looking to Jesus the pioneer and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.

rsv@Hebrews:12:5 @ And have you forgotten the exhortation which addresses you as sons?-- "My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord, nor lose courage when you are punished by him.

rsv@Hebrews:12:6 @ For the Lord disciplines him whom he loves, and chastises every son whom he receives."

rsv@Hebrews:12:7 @ It is for discipline that you have to endure. God is treating you as sons; for what son is there whom his father does not discipline?

rsv@Hebrews:12:10 @ For they disciplined us for a short time at their pleasure, but he disciplines us for our good, that we may share his holiness.

rsv@Hebrews:12:11 @ For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant; later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.

rsv@Hebrews:12:17 @ For you know that afterward, when he desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no chance to repent, though he sought it with tears.

rsv@Hebrews:12:20 @ For they could not endure the order that was given, "If even a beast touches the mountain, it shall be stoned."

rsv@Hebrews:12:21 @ Indeed, so terrifying was the sight that Moses said, "I tremble with fear."

rsv@Hebrews:12:23 @ and to the assembly of the first-born who are enrolled in heaven, and to a judge who is God of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,

rsv@Hebrews:12:26 @ His voice then shook the earth; but now he has promised, "Yet once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heaven."

rsv@Hebrews:12:27 @ This phrase, "Yet once more," indicates the removal of what is shaken, as of what has been made, in order that what cannot be shaken may remain.

rsv@Hebrews:13:3 @ Remember those who are in prison, as though in prison with them; and those who are ill-treated, since you also are in the body.

rsv@Hebrews:13:5 @ Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have; for he has said, "I will never fail you nor forsake you."

rsv@Hebrews:13:11 @ For the bodies of those animals whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest as a sacrifice for sin are burned outside the camp.

rsv@Hebrews:13:14 @ For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city which is to come.

rsv@Hebrews:13:16 @ Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.

rsv@Hebrews:13:17 @ Obey your leaders and submit to them; for they are keeping watch over your souls, as men who will have to give account. Let them do this joyfully, and not sadly, for that would be of no advantage to you.

rsv@Hebrews:13:21 @ equip you with everything good that you may do his will, working in you that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

rsv@Hebrews:13:23 @ You should understand that our brother Timothy has been released, with whom I shall see you if he comes soon.

rsv@James:1:3 @ for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness.

rsv@James:1:4 @ And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

rsv@James:1:5 @ If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives to all men generously and without reproaching, and it will be given him.

rsv@James:1:6 @ But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind.

rsv@James:1:8 @ Let the lowly brother boast in his exaltation,

rsv@James:1:10 @ and the rich in his humiliation, because like the flower of the grass he will pass away.

rsv@James:1:11 @ For the sun rises with its scorching heat and withers the grass; its flower falls, and its beauty perishes. So will the rich man fade away in the midst of his pursuits.

rsv@James:1:12 @ Blessed is the man who endures trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life which God has promised to those who love him.

rsv@James:1:15 @ Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin; and sin when it is full-grown brings forth death.

rsv@James:1:24 @ for he observes himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like.

rsv@James:2:1 @ My brethren, show no partiality as you hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory.

rsv@James:2:2 @ For if a man with gold rings and in fine clothing comes into your assembly, and a poor man in shabby clothing also comes in,

rsv@James:2:3 @ and you pay attention to the one who wears the fine clothing and say, "Have a seat here, please," while you say to the poor man, "Stand there," or, "Sit at my feet,"

rsv@James:2:5 @ Listen, my beloved brethren. Has not God chosen those who are poor in the world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which he has promised to those who love him?

rsv@James:2:7 @ Is it not they who blaspheme that honorable name which was invoked over you?

rsv@James:2:8 @ If you really fulfil the royal law, according to the scripture, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself," you do well.

rsv@James:2:9 @ But if you show partiality, you commit sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors.

rsv@James:2:10 @ For whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point has become guilty of all of it.

rsv@James:2:12 @ So speak and so act as those who are to be judged under the law of liberty.

rsv@James:2:13 @ For judgment is without mercy to one who has shown no mercy; yet mercy triumphs over judgment.

rsv@James:2:14 @ What does it profit, my brethren, if a man says he has faith but has not works? Can his faith save him?

rsv@James:2:17 @ So faith by itself, if it has no works, is dead.

rsv@James:2:21 @ Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he offered his son Isaac upon the altar?

rsv@James:2:22 @ You see that faith was active along with his works, and faith was completed by works,

rsv@James:2:23 @ and the scripture was fulfilled which says, "Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness"; and he was called the friend of God.

rsv@James:2:25 @ And in the same way was not also Rahab the harlot justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way?

rsv@James:2:26 @ For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so faith apart from works is dead.

rsv@James:3:5 @ So the tongue is a little member and boasts of great things. How great a forest is set ablaze by a small fire!

rsv@James:3:7 @ For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and sea creature, can be tamed and has been tamed by humankind,

rsv@James:3:14 @ But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth.

rsv@James:3:15 @ This wisdom is not such as comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, devilish.

rsv@James:3:17 @ But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, without uncertainty or insincerity.

rsv@James:4:1 @ What causes wars, and what causes fightings among you? Is it not your passions that are at war in your members?

rsv@James:4:2 @ You desire and do not have; so you kill. And you covet and cannot obtain; so you fight and wage war. You do not have, because you do not ask.

rsv@James:4:3 @ You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions.

rsv@James:4:5 @ Or do you suppose it is in vain that the scripture says, "He yearns jealously over the spirit which he has made to dwell in us"?

rsv@James:4:14 @ whereas you do not know about tomorrow. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes.

rsv@James:4:16 @ As it is, you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil.

rsv@James:5:3 @ Your gold and silver have rusted, and their rust will be evidence against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up treasure for the last days.

rsv@James:5:5 @ You have lived on the earth in luxury and in pleasure; you have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter.

rsv@James:5:10 @ As an example of suffering and patience, brethren, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.

rsv@James:5:11 @ Behold, we call those happy who were steadfast. You have heard of the steadfastness of Job, and you have seen the purpose of the Lord, how the Lord is compassionate and merciful.

rsv@James:5:15 @ and the prayer of faith will save the sick man, and the Lord will raise him up; and if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.

rsv@James:5:16 @ Therefore confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man has great power in its effects.

rsv@James:5:17 @ Eli'jah was a man of like nature with ourselves and he prayed fervently that it might not rain, and for three years and six months it did not rain on the earth.

rsv@1Peter:1:9 @ As the outcome of your faith you obtain the salvation of your souls.

rsv@1Peter:1:10 @ The prophets who prophesied of the grace that was to be yours searched and inquired about this salvation;

rsv@1Peter:1:11 @ they inquired what person or time was indicated by the Spirit of Christ within them when predicting the sufferings of Christ and the subsequent glory.

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

rsv@1Peter:1:14 @ As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance,

rsv@1Peter:1:24 @ for "All flesh is like grass and all its glory like the flower of grass. The grass withers, and the flower falls,

rsv@1Peter:2:14 @ or to governors as sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to praise those who do right.

rsv@1Peter:2:16 @ Live as free men, yet without using your freedom as a pretext for evil; but live as servants of God.

rsv@1Peter:2:18 @ Servants, be submissive to your masters with all respect, not only to the kind and gentle but also to the overbearing.

rsv@1Peter:2:22 @ He committed no sin; no guile was found on his lips.

rsv@1Peter:2:23 @ When he was reviled, he did not revile in return; when he suffered, he did not threaten; but he trusted to him who judges justly.

rsv@1Peter:3:2 @ when they see your reverent and chaste behavior.

rsv@1Peter:3:6 @ as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord. And you are now her children if you do right and let nothing terrify you.

rsv@1Peter:3:7 @ Likewise you husbands, live considerately with your wives, bestowing honor on the woman as the weaker sex, since you are joint heirs of the grace of life, in order that your prayers may not be hindered.

rsv@1Peter:3:15 @ but in your hearts reverence Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to make a defense to any one who calls you to account for the hope that is in you, yet do it with gentleness and reverence;

rsv@1Peter:3:21 @ Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you, not as a removal of dirt from the body but as an appeal to God for a clear conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

rsv@1Peter:3:22 @ who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, with angels, authorities, and powers subject to him.

rsv@1Peter:4:1 @ Since therefore Christ suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves with the same thought, for whoever has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,

rsv@1Peter:4:2 @ so as to live for the rest of the time in the flesh no longer by human passions but by the will of God.

rsv@1Peter:4:3 @ Let the time that is past suffice for doing what the Gentiles like to do, living in licentiousness, passions, drunkenness, revels, carousing, and lawless idolatry.

rsv@1Peter:4:6 @ For this is why the gospel was preached even to the dead, that though judged in the flesh like men, they might live in the spirit like God.

rsv@1Peter:4:10 @ As each has received a gift, employ it for one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace:

rsv@1Peter:4:11 @ whoever speaks, as one who utters oracles of God; whoever renders service, as one who renders it by the strength which God supplies; in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

rsv@1Peter:4:12 @ Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal which comes upon you to prove you, as though something strange were happening to you.

rsv@1Peter:4:13 @ But rejoice in so far as you share Christ's sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed.

rsv@1Peter:4:15 @ But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or a wrongdoer, or a mischief-maker;

rsv@1Peter:4:16 @ yet if one suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but under that name let him glorify God.

rsv@1Peter:4:17 @ For the time has come for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins with us, what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God?

rsv@1Peter:5:1 @ So I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ as well as a partaker in the glory that is to be revealed.

rsv@1Peter:5:3 @ not as domineering over those in your charge but being examples to the flock.

rsv@1Peter:5:7 @ Cast all your anxieties on him, for he cares about you.

rsv@1Peter:5:10 @ And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, establish, and strengthen you.

rsv@1Peter:5:12 @ By Silva'nus, a faithful brother as I regard him, I have written briefly to you, exhorting and declaring that this is the true grace of God; stand fast in it.

rsv@2Peter:1:3 @ His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence,

rsv@2Peter:1:4 @ by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, that through these you may escape from the corruption that is in the world because of passion, and become partakers of the divine nature.

rsv@2Peter:1:5 @ For this very reason make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge,

rsv@2Peter:1:6 @ and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness,

rsv@2Peter:1:9 @ For whoever lacks these things is blind and shortsighted and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins.

rsv@2Peter:1:13 @ I think it right, as long as I am in this body, to arouse you by way of reminder,

rsv@2Peter:1:14 @ since I know that the putting off of my body will be soon, as our Lord Jesus Christ showed me.

rsv@2Peter:1:17 @ For when he received honor and glory from God the Father and the voice was borne to him by the Majestic Glory, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased,"

rsv@2Peter:1:19 @ And we have the prophetic word made more sure. You will do well to pay attention to this as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.

rsv@2Peter:2:1 @ But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction.

rsv@2Peter:2:3 @ And in their greed they will exploit you with false words; from of old their condemnation has not been idle, and their destruction has not been asleep.

rsv@2Peter:2:4 @ For if God did not spare the angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell and committed them to pits of nether gloom to be kept until the judgment;

rsv@2Peter:2:6 @ if by turning the cities of Sodom and Gomor'rah to ashes he condemned them to extinction and made them an example to those who were to be ungodly;

rsv@2Peter:2:8 @ (for by what that righteous man saw and heard as he lived among them, he was vexed in his righteous soul day after day with their lawless deeds),

rsv@2Peter:2:10 @ and especially those who indulge in the lust of defiling passion and despise authority. Bold and wilful, they are not afraid to revile the glorious ones,

rsv@2Peter:2:11 @ whereas angels, though greater in might and power, do not pronounce a reviling judgment upon them before the Lord.

rsv@2Peter:2:13 @ suffering wrong for their wrongdoing. They count it pleasure to revel in the daytime. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their dissipation, carousing with you.

rsv@2Peter:2:15 @ Forsaking the right way they have gone astray; they have followed the way of Balaam, the son of Be'or, who loved gain from wrongdoing,

rsv@2Peter:2:16 @ but was rebuked for his own transgression; a dumb ass spoke with human voice and restrained the prophet's madness.

rsv@2Peter:2:17 @ These are waterless springs and mists driven by a storm; for them the nether gloom of darkness has been reserved.

rsv@2Peter:2:18 @ For, uttering loud boasts of folly, they entice with licentious passions of the flesh men who have barely escaped from those who live in error.

rsv@2Peter:2:20 @ For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world through the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overpowered, the last state has become worse for them than the first.

rsv@2Peter:2:22 @ It has happened to them according to the true proverb, The dog turns back to his own vomit, and the sow is washed only to wallow in the mire.

rsv@2Peter:3:3 @ First of all you must understand this, that scoffers will come in the last days with scoffing, following their own passions

rsv@2Peter:3:4 @ and saying, "Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things have continued as they were from the beginning of creation."

rsv@2Peter:3:6 @ through which the world that then existed was deluged with water and perished.

rsv@2Peter:3:8 @ But do not ignore this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

rsv@2Peter:3:9 @ The Lord is not slow about his promise as some count slowness, but is forbearing toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.

rsv@2Peter:3:10 @ But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a loud noise, and the elements will be dissolved with fire, and the earth and the works that are upon it will be burned up.

rsv@2Peter:3:12 @ waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be kindled and dissolved, and the elements will melt with fire!

rsv@2Peter:3:15 @ And count the forbearance of our Lord as salvation. So also our beloved brother Paul wrote to you according to the wisdom given him,

rsv@2Peter:3:16 @ speaking of this as he does in all his letters. There are some things in them hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other scriptures.

rsv@1John:1:1 @ That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon and touched with our hands, concerning the word of life--

rsv@1John:1:2 @ the life was made manifest, and we saw it, and testify to it, and proclaim to you the eternal life which was with the Father and was made manifest to us--

rsv@1John:1:7 @ but if we walk 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.

rsv@1John:2:8 @ Yet I am writing you a new commandment, which is true in him and in you, because the darkness is passing away and the true light is already shining.

rsv@1John:2:11 @ But he who hates his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

rsv@1John:2:17 @ And the world passes away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides for ever.

rsv@1John:2:18 @ Children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have come; therefore we know that it is the last hour.

rsv@1John:2:23 @ No one who denies the Son has the Father. He who confesses the Son has the Father also.

rsv@1John:2:25 @ And this is what he has promised us, eternal life.

rsv@1John:2:27 @ but the anointing which you received from him abides in you, and you have no need that any one should teach you; as his anointing teaches you about everything, and is true, and is no lie, just as it has taught you, abide in him.

rsv@1John:3:1 @ See what love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him.

rsv@1John:3:2 @ Beloved, we are God's children now; it does not yet appear what we shall be, but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.

rsv@1John:3:3 @ And every one who thus hopes in him purifies himself as he is pure.

rsv@1John:3:6 @ No one who abides in him sins; no one who sins has either seen him or known him.

rsv@1John:3:7 @ Little children, let no one deceive you. He who does right is righteous, as he is righteous.

rsv@1John:3:8 @ He who commits sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil.

rsv@1John:3:12 @ and not be like Cain who was of the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own deeds were evil and his brother's righteous.

rsv@1John:3:14 @ We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love abides in death.

rsv@1John:3:15 @ Any one who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.

rsv@1John:3:17 @ But if any one has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him?

rsv@1John:3:19 @ By this we shall know that we are of the truth, and reassure our hearts before him

rsv@1John:3:22 @ and we receive from him whatever we ask, because we keep his commandments and do what pleases him.

rsv@1John:3:23 @ And this is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he has commanded us.

rsv@1John:3:24 @ All who keep his commandments abide in him, and he in them. And by this we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit which he has given us.

rsv@1John:4:2 @ By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit which confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God,

rsv@1John:4:3 @ and every spirit which does not confess Jesus is not of God. This is the spirit of antichrist, of which you heard that it was coming, and now it is in the world already.

rsv@1John:4:9 @ In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him.

rsv@1John:4:12 @ No man has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us.

rsv@1John:4:13 @ By this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has given us of his own Spirit.

rsv@1John:4:14 @ And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son as the Savior of the world.

rsv@1John:4:16 @ So we know and believe the love God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.

rsv@1John:4:17 @ In this is love perfected with us, that we may have confidence for the day of judgment, because as he is so are we in this world.

rsv@1John:4:18 @ There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and he who fears is not perfected in love.

rsv@1John:4:20 @ If any one says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen.

rsv@1John:5:9 @ If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater; for this is the testimony of God that he has borne witness to his Son.

rsv@1John:5:10 @ He who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. He who does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has borne to his Son.

rsv@1John:5:12 @ He who has the Son has life; he who has not the Son of God has not life.

rsv@1John:5:14 @ And this is the confidence which we have in him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us.

rsv@1John:5:15 @ And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have obtained the requests made of him.

rsv@1John:5:16 @ If any one sees his brother committing what is not a mortal sin, he will ask, and God will give him life for those whose sin is not mortal. There is sin which is mortal; I do not say that one is to pray for that.

rsv@1John:5:18 @ We know that any one born of God does not sin, but He who was born of God keeps him, and the evil one does not touch him.

rsv@1John:5:20 @ And 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, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.

rsv@2John:1:4 @ I rejoiced greatly to find some of your children following the truth, just as we have been commanded by the Father.

rsv@2John:1:5 @ And now I beg you, lady, not as though I were writing you a new commandment, but the one we have had from the beginning, that we love one another.

rsv@2John:1:6 @ And this is love, that we follow his commandments; this is the commandment, as you have heard from the beginning, that you follow love.

rsv@2John:1:9 @ Any one who goes ahead and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God; he who abides in the doctrine has both the Father and the Son.

rsv@3John:1:3 @ For I greatly rejoiced when some of the brethren arrived and testified to the truth of your life, as indeed you do follow the truth.

rsv@3John:1:6 @ who have testified to your love before the church. You will do well to send them on their journey as befits God's service.

rsv@3John:1:11 @ Beloved, do not imitate evil but imitate good. He who does good is of God; he who does evil has not seen God.

rsv@3John:1:12 @ Deme'trius has testimony from every one, and from the truth itself; I testify to him too, and you know my testimony is true.

rsv@Jude:1:3 @ Beloved, being very eager to write to you of our common salvation, I found it necessary to write appealing to you to contend for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints.

rsv@Jude:1:4 @ For admission has been secretly gained by some who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly persons who pervert the grace of our God into licentiousness and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.

rsv@Jude:1:7 @ just as Sodom and Gomor'rah and the surrounding cities, which likewise acted immorally and indulged in unnatural lust, serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire.

rsv@Jude:1:10 @ But these men revile whatever they do not understand, and by those things that they know by instinct as irrational animals do, they are destroyed.

rsv@Jude:1:12 @ These are blemishes on your love feasts, as they boldly carouse together, looking after themselves; waterless clouds, carried along by winds; fruitless trees in late autumn, twice dead, uprooted;

rsv@Jude:1:13 @ wild waves of the sea, casting up the foam of their own shame; wandering stars for whom the nether gloom of darkness has been reserved for ever.

rsv@Jude:1:14 @ It was of these also that Enoch in the seventh generation from Adam prophesied, saying, "Behold, the Lord came with his holy myriads,

rsv@Jude:1:16 @ These are grumblers, malcontents, following their own passions, loud-mouthed boasters, flattering people to gain advantage.

rsv@Jude:1:18 @ they said to you, "In the last time there will be scoffers, following their own ungodly passions."

rsv@Revelation:1:4 @ John to the seven churches that are in Asia: Grace to you and peace from him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven spirits who are before his throne,

rsv@Revelation:1:5 @ and from Jesus Christ the faithful witness, the first-born of the dead, and the ruler of kings on earth. To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood

rsv@Revelation:1:8 @ "I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.

rsv@Revelation:1:9 @ I John, your brother, who share with you in Jesus the tribulation and the kingdom and the patient endurance, was on the island called Patmos on account of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus.

rsv@Revelation:1:10 @ I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet

rsv@Revelation:1:12 @ Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking to me, and on turning I saw seven golden lampstands,

rsv@Revelation:1:13 @ and in the midst of the lampstands one like a son of man, clothed with a long robe and with a golden girdle round his breast;

rsv@Revelation:1:14 @ his head and his hair were white as white wool, white as snow; his eyes were like a flame of fire,

rsv@Revelation:1:15 @ his feet were like burnished bronze, refined as in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of many waters;

rsv@Revelation:1:16 @ in his right hand he held seven stars, from his mouth issued a sharp two-edged sword, and his face was like the sun shining in full strength.

rsv@Revelation:1:17 @ When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. But he laid his right hand upon me, saying, "Fear not, I am the first and the last,

rsv@Revelation:1:20 @ As for the mystery of the seven stars which you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden lampstands, the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.

rsv@Revelation:5:3 @ And no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or to look into it,

rsv@Revelation:5:4 @ and I wept much that no one was found worthy to open the scroll or to into into it.

rsv@Revelation:5:6 @ And between the throne and the four living creatures and among the elders, I saw a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain, with seven horns and with seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth;

rsv@Revelation:5:7 @ and he went and took the scroll from the right hand of him who was seated on the throne.

rsv@Revelation:5:9 @ and they sang a new song, saying, "Worthy art thou to take the scroll and to open its seals, for thou wast slain and by thy blood didst ransom men for God from every tribe and tongue and people and nation,

rsv@Revelation:6:11 @ Then they were each given a white robe and told to rest a little longer, until the number of their fellow servants and their brethren should be complete, who were to be killed as they themselves had been.

rsv@Revelation:6:12 @ When he opened the sixth seal, I looked, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth, the full moon became like blood,

rsv@Revelation:9:4 @ they were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any green growth or any tree, but only those of mankind who have not the seal of God upon their foreheads;

rsv@Revelation:9:5 @ they were allowed to torture them for five months, but not to kill them, and their torture was like the torture of a scorpion, when it stings a man.

rsv@Revelation:9:9 @ they had scales like iron breastplates, and the noise of their wings was like the noise of many chariots with horses rushing into battle.

rsv@Revelation:9:11 @ They have as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit; his name in Hebrew is Abad'don, and in Greek he is called Apol'lyon.

rsv@Revelation:9:12 @ The first woe has passed; behold, two woes are still to come.

rsv@Revelation:9:14 @ saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, "Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphra'tes."

rsv@Revelation:9:15 @ So the four angels were released, who had been held ready for the hour, the day, the month, and the year, to kill a third of mankind.

rsv@Revelation:9:16 @ The number of the troops of cavalry was twice ten thousand times ten thousand; I heard their number.

rsv@Revelation:9:17 @ And this was how I saw the horses in my vision: the riders wore breastplates the color of fire and of sapphire and of sulphur, and the heads of the horses were like lions' heads, and fire and smoke and sulphur issued from their mouths.

rsv@Revelation:9:18 @ By these three plagues a third of mankind was killed, by the fire and smoke and sulphur issuing from their mouths.

rsv@Revelation:10:1 @ Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven, wrapped in a cloud, with a rainbow over his head, and his face was like the sun, and his legs like pillars of fire.

rsv@Revelation:10:4 @ And when the seven thunders had sounded, I was about to write, but I heard a voice from heaven saying, "Seal up what the seven thunders have said, and do not write it down."

rsv@Revelation:10:7 @ but that in the days of the trumpet call to be sounded by the seventh angel, the mystery of God, as he announced to his servants the prophets, should be fulfilled.

rsv@Revelation:10:9 @ So I went to the angel and told him to give me the little scroll; and he said to me, "Take it and eat; it will be bitter to your stomach, but sweet as honey in your mouth."

rsv@Revelation:10:10 @ And I took the little scroll from the hand of the angel and ate it; it was sweet as honey in my mouth, but when I had eaten it my stomach was made bitter.

rsv@Revelation:10:11 @ And I was told, "You must again prophesy about many peoples and nations and tongues and kings."

rsv@Revelation:11:1 @ Then I was given a measuring rod like a staff, and I was told: "Rise and measure the temple of God and the altar and those who worship there,

rsv@Revelation:11:2 @ but do not measure the court outside the temple; leave that out, for it is given over to the nations, and they will trample over the holy city for forty-two months.

rsv@Revelation:11:6 @ They have power to shut the sky, that no rain may fall during the days of their prophesying, and they have power over the waters to turn them into blood, and to smite the earth with every plague, as often as they desire.

rsv@Revelation:11:7 @ And when they have finished their testimony, the beast that ascends from the bottomless pit will make war upon them and conquer them and kill them,

rsv@Revelation:11:8 @ and their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city which is allegorically called Sodom and Egypt, where their Lord was crucified.

rsv@Revelation:11:13 @ And at that hour there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell; seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the rest were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.

rsv@Revelation:11:14 @ The second woe has passed; behold, the third woe is soon to come.

rsv@Revelation:11:15 @ Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, "The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he shall reign for ever and ever."

rsv@Revelation:11:17 @ saying, "We give thanks to thee, Lord God Almighty, who art and who wast, that thou hast taken thy great power and begun to reign.

rsv@Revelation:11:19 @ Then God's temple in heaven was opened, and the ark of his covenant was seen within his temple; and there were flashes of lightning, voices, peals of thunder, an earthquake, and heavy hail.

rsv@Revelation:12:2 @ she was with child and she cried out in her pangs of birth, in anguish for delivery.

rsv@Revelation:12:4 @ His tail swept down a third of the stars of heaven, and cast them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to bear a child, that he might devour her child when she brought it forth;

rsv@Revelation:12:5 @ she brought forth a male child, one who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron, but her child was caught up to God and to his throne,

rsv@Revelation:12:6 @ and the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, in which to be nourished for one thousand two hundred and sixty days.

rsv@Revelation:12:8 @ but they were defeated and there was no longer any place for them in heaven.

rsv@Revelation:12:9 @ And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world--he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.

rsv@Revelation:12:10 @ And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, "Now the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren has been thrown down, who accuses them day and night before our God.

rsv@Revelation:12:12 @ Rejoice then, O heaven and you that dwell therein! But woe to you, O earth and sea, for the devil has come down to you in great wrath, because he knows that his time is short!"

rsv@Revelation:12:14 @ But the woman was given the two wings of the great eagle that she might fly from the serpent into the wilderness, to the place where she is to be nourished for a time, and times, and half a time.

rsv@Revelation:12:17 @ Then the dragon was angry with the woman, and went off to make war on the rest of her offspring, on those who keep the commandments of God and bear testimony to Jesus. And he stood on the sand of the sea.

rsv@Revelation:13:1 @ And I saw a beast rising out of the sea, with ten horns and seven heads, with ten diadems upon its horns and a blasphemous name upon its heads.

rsv@Revelation:13:2 @ And the beast that I saw was like a leopard, its feet were like a bear's, and its mouth was like a lion's mouth. And to it the dragon gave his power and his throne and great authority.

rsv@Revelation:13:3 @ One of its heads seemed to have a mortal wound, but its mortal wound was healed, and the whole earth followed the beast with wonder.

rsv@Revelation:13:4 @ Men worshiped the dragon, for he had given his authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, "Who is like the beast, and who can fight against it?"

rsv@Revelation:13:5 @ And the beast was given a mouth uttering haughty and blasphemous words, and it was allowed to exercise authority for forty-two months;

rsv@Revelation:13:6 @ it opened its mouth to utter blasphemies against God, blaspheming his name and his dwelling, that is, those who dwell in heaven.

rsv@Revelation:13:7 @ Also it was allowed to make war on the saints and to conquer them. And authority was given it over every tribe and people and tongue and nation,

rsv@Revelation:13:8 @ and all who dwell on earth will worship it, every one whose name has not been written before the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb that was slain.

rsv@Revelation:13:9 @ If any one has an ear, let him hear:

rsv@Revelation:13:11 @ Then I saw another beast which rose out of the earth; it had two horns like a lamb and it spoke like a dragon.

rsv@Revelation:13:12 @ It exercises all the authority of the first beast in its presence, and makes the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose mortal wound was healed.

rsv@Revelation:13:14 @ and by the signs which it is allowed to work in the presence of the beast, it deceives those who dwell on earth, bidding them make an image for the beast which was wounded by the sword and yet lived;

rsv@Revelation:13:15 @ and it was allowed to give breath to the image of the beast so that the image of the beast should even speak, and to cause those who would not worship the image of the beast to be slain.

rsv@Revelation:13:17 @ so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name.

rsv@Revelation:13:18 @ This calls for wisdom: let him who has understanding reckon the number of the beast, for it is a human number, its number is six hundred and sixty-six.

rsv@Revelation:14:2 @ And I heard a voice from heaven like the sound of many waters and like the sound of loud thunder; the voice I heard was like the sound of harpers playing on their harps,

rsv@Revelation:14:4 @ It is these who have not defiled themselves with women, for they are chaste; it is these who follow the Lamb wherever he goes; these have been redeemed from mankind as first fruits for God and the Lamb,

rsv@Revelation:14:5 @ and in their mouth no lie was found, for they are spotless.

rsv@Revelation:14:7 @ and he said with a loud voice, "Fear God and give him glory, for the hour of his judgment has come; and worship him who made heaven and earth, the sea and the fountains of water."

rsv@Revelation:14:8 @ Another angel, a second, followed, saying, "Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, she who made all nations drink the wine of her impure passion."

rsv@Revelation:14:9 @ And another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a loud voice, "If any one worships the beast and its image, and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand,

rsv@Revelation:14:11 @ And the smoke of their torment goes up for ever and ever; and they have no rest, day or night, these worshipers of the beast and its image, and whoever receives the mark of its name."

rsv@Revelation:14:15 @ And another angel came out of the temple, calling with a loud voice to him who sat upon the cloud, "Put in your sickle, and reap, for the hour to reap has come, for the harvest of the earth is fully ripe."

rsv@Revelation:14:16 @ So he who sat upon the cloud swung his sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped.

rsv@Revelation:14:18 @ Then another angel came out from the altar, the angel who has power over fire, and he called with a loud voice to him who had the sharp sickle, "Put in your sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, for its grapes are ripe."

rsv@Revelation:14:20 @ and the wine press was trodden outside the city, and blood flowed from the wine press, as high as a horse's bridle, for one thousand six hundred stadia.

rsv@Revelation:15:1 @ Then I saw another portent in heaven, great and wonderful, seven angels with seven plagues, which are the last, for with them the wrath of God is ended.

rsv@Revelation:15:2 @ And I saw what appeared to be a sea of glass mingled with fire, and those who had conquered the beast and its image and the number of its name, standing beside the sea of glass with harps of God in their hands.

rsv@Revelation:15:5 @ After this I looked, and the temple of the tent of witness in heaven was opened,

rsv@Revelation:15:6 @ and out of the temple came the seven angels with the seven plagues, robed in pure bright linen, and their breasts girded with golden girdles.

rsv@Revelation:15:8 @ and the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from his power, and no one could enter the temple until the seven plagues of the seven angels were ended.

rsv@Revelation:16:2 @ So the first angel went and poured his bowl on the earth, and foul and evil sores came upon the men who bore the mark of the beast and worshiped its image.

rsv@Revelation:16:3 @ The second angel poured his bowl into the sea, and it became like the blood of a dead man, and every living thing died that was in the sea.

rsv@Revelation:16:5 @ And I heard the angel of water say, "Just art thou in these thy judgments, thou who art and wast, O Holy One.

rsv@Revelation:16:6 @ For men have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink. It is their due!"

rsv@Revelation:16:8 @ The fourth angel poured his bowl on the sun, and it was allowed to scorch men with fire;

rsv@Revelation:16:10 @ The fifth angel poured his bowl on the throne of the beast, and its kingdom was in darkness; men gnawed their tongues in anguish

rsv@Revelation:16:12 @ The sixth angel poured his bowl on the great river Euphra'tes, and its water was dried up, to prepare the way for the kings from the east.

rsv@Revelation:16:13 @ And I saw, issuing from the mouth of the dragon and from the mouth of the beast and from the mouth of the false prophet, three foul spirits like frogs;

rsv@Revelation:16:14 @ for they are demonic spirits, performing signs, who go abroad to the kings of the whole world, to assemble them for battle on the great day of God the Almighty.

rsv@Revelation:16:16 @ And they assembled them at the place which is called in Hebrew Armaged'don.

rsv@Revelation:16:18 @ And there were flashes of lightning, voices, peals of thunder, and a great earthquake such as had never been since men were on the earth, so great was that earthquake.

rsv@Revelation:16:19 @ The great city was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell, and God remembered great Babylon, to make her drain the cup of the fury of his wrath.

rsv@Revelation:16:21 @ and great hailstones, heavy as a hundred-weight, dropped on men from heaven, till men cursed God for the plague of the hail, so fearful was that plague.

rsv@Revelation:17:3 @ And he carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness, and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast which was full of blasphemous names, and it had seven heads and ten horns.

rsv@Revelation:17:4 @ The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and bedecked with gold and jewels and pearls, holding in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of her fornication;

rsv@Revelation:17:5 @ and on her forehead was written a name of mystery: "Babylon the great, mother of harlots and of earth's abominations."

rsv@Revelation:17:7 @ But the angel said to me, "Why marvel? I will tell you the mystery of the woman, and of the beast with seven heads and ten horns that carries her.

rsv@Revelation:17:8 @ The beast that you saw was, and is not, and is to ascend from the bottomless pit and go to perdition; and the dwellers on earth whose names have not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, will marvel to behold the beast, because it was and is not and is to come.

rsv@Revelation:17:10 @ they are also seven kings, five of whom have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come, and when he comes he must remain only a little while.

rsv@Revelation:17:11 @ As for the beast that was and is not, it is an eighth but it belongs to the seven, and it goes to perdition.

rsv@Revelation:17:12 @ And the ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have not yet received royal power, but they are to receive authority as kings for one hour, together with the beast.

rsv@Revelation:17:13 @ These are of one mind and give over their power and authority to the beast;

rsv@Revelation:17:16 @ And the ten horns that you saw, they and the beast will hate the harlot; they will make her desolate and naked, and devour her flesh and burn her up with fire,

rsv@Revelation:17:17 @ for God has put it into their hearts to carry out his purpose by being of one mind and giving over their royal power to the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.

rsv@Revelation:17:18 @ And the woman that you saw is the great city which has dominion over the kings of the earth."

rsv@Revelation:18:1 @ After this I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority; and the earth was made bright with his splendor.

rsv@Revelation:18:2 @ And he called out with a mighty voice, "Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great! It has become a dwelling place of demons, a haunt of every foul spirit, a haunt of every foul and hateful bird;

rsv@Revelation:18:3 @ for all nations have drunk the wine of her impure passion, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have grown rich with the wealth of her wantonness."

rsv@Revelation:18:5 @ for her sins are heaped high as heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities.

rsv@Revelation:18:6 @ Render to her as she herself has rendered, and repay her double for her deeds; mix a double draught for her in the cup she mixed.

rsv@Revelation:18:7 @ As she glorified herself and played the wanton, so give her a like measure of torment and mourning. Since in her heart she says, `A queen I sit, I am no widow, mourning I shall never see,'

rsv@Revelation:18:10 @ they will stand far off, in fear of her torment, and say, "Alas! alas! thou great city, thou mighty city, Babylon! In one hour has thy judgment come."

rsv@Revelation:18:14 @ "The fruit for which thy soul longed has gone from thee, and all thy dainties and thy splendor are lost to thee, never to be found again!"

rsv@Revelation:18:16 @ "Alas, alas, for the great city that was clothed in fine linen, in purple and scarlet, bedecked with gold, with jewels, and with pearls!

rsv@Revelation:18:17 @ In one hour all this wealth has been laid waste." And all shipmasters and seafaring men, sailors and all whose trade is on the sea, stood far off

rsv@Revelation:18:18 @ and cried out as they saw the smoke of her burning, "What city was like the great city?"

rsv@Revelation:18:19 @ And they threw dust on their heads, as they wept and mourned, crying out, "Alas, alas, for the great city where all who had ships at sea grew rich by her wealth! In one hour she has been laid waste.

rsv@Revelation:18:20 @ Rejoice over her, O heaven, O saints and apostles and prophets, for God has given judgment for you against her!"

rsv@Revelation:18:24 @ And in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all who have been slain on earth."

rsv@Revelation:19:2 @ for his judgments are true and just; he has judged the great harlot who corrupted the earth with her fornication, and he has avenged on her the blood of his servants."

rsv@Revelation:19:7 @ Let us rejoice and exult and give him the glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his Bride has made herself ready;

rsv@Revelation:19:8 @ it was granted her to be clothed with fine linen, bright and pure"-- for the fine linen is the righteous deeds of the saints.

rsv@Revelation:19:12 @ His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems; and he has a name inscribed which no one knows but himself.

rsv@Revelation:19:16 @ On his robe and on his thigh he has a name inscribed, King of kings and Lord of lords.

rsv@Revelation:19:19 @ And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth with their armies gathered to make war against him who sits upon the horse and against his army.

rsv@Revelation:19:20 @ And the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who in its presence had worked the signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped its image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulphur.

rsv@Revelation:20:4 @ Then I saw thrones, and seated on them were those to whom judgment was committed. Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their testimony to Jesus and for the word of God, and who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life, and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

rsv@Revelation:20:6 @ Blessed and holy is he who shares in the first resurrection! Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and they shall reign with him a thousand years.

rsv@Revelation:20:10 @ and the devil who had deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulphur where the beast and the false prophet were, and they will be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

rsv@Revelation:20:11 @ Then I saw a great white throne and him who sat upon it; from his presence earth and sky fled away, and no place was found for them.

rsv@Revelation:20:12 @ And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Also another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, by what they had done.

rsv@Revelation:20:15 @ and if any one's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.

rsv@Revelation:21:1 @ Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more.

rsv@Revelation:21:2 @ And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband;

rsv@Revelation:21:4 @ he will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning nor crying nor pain any more, for the former things have passed away."

rsv@Revelation:21:8 @ But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the polluted, as for murderers, fornicators, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their lot shall be in the lake that burns with fire and sulphur, which is the second death."

rsv@Revelation:21:9 @ Then came one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues, and spoke to me, saying, "Come, I will show you the Bride, the wife of the Lamb."

rsv@Revelation:21:11 @ having the glory of God, its radiance like a most rare jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal.

rsv@Revelation:21:13 @ on the east three gates, on the north three gates, on the south three gates, and on the west three gates.

rsv@Revelation:21:15 @ And he who talked to me had a measuring rod of gold to measure the city and its gates and walls.

rsv@Revelation:21:16 @ The city lies foursquare, its length the same as its breadth; and he measured the city with his rod, twelve thousand stadia; its length and breadth and height are equal.

rsv@Revelation:21:17 @ He also measured its wall, a hundred and forty-four cubits by a man's measure, that is, an angel's.

rsv@Revelation:21:18 @ The wall was built of jasper, while the city was pure gold, clear as glass.

rsv@Revelation:21:19 @ The foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with every jewel; the first was jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald,

rsv@Revelation:21:20 @ the fifth onyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, the twelfth amethyst.

rsv@Revelation:21:21 @ And the twelve gates were twelve pearls, each of the gates made of a single pearl, and the street of the city was pure gold, transparent as glass.

rsv@Revelation:21:23 @ And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine upon it, for the glory of God is its light, and its lamp is the Lamb.

rsv@Revelation:22:1 @ Then he showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb

rsv@Revelation:22:6 @ And he said to me, "These words are trustworthy and true. And the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, has sent his angel to show his servants what must soon take place.

rsv@Revelation:22:12 @ "Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense, to repay every one for what he has done.

rsv@Revelation:22:13 @ I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end."

rsv@Revelation:22:14 @ Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and that they may enter the city by the gates.
