rsv@Genesis:2:3 @ So God blessed the seventh day and hallowed it, because on it God rested from all his work which he had done in creation.

rsv@Genesis:2:4 @ These are the generations of the heavens and the earth when they were created. In the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,

rsv@Genesis:2:5 @ when no plant of the field was yet in the earth and no herb of the field had yet sprung up--for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was no man to till the ground;

rsv@Genesis:2:7 @ then the LORD God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.

rsv@Genesis:2:8 @ And the LORD God planted a garden in Eden, in the east; and there he put the man whom he had formed.

rsv@Genesis:2:9 @ And out of the ground the LORD God made to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food, the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

rsv@Genesis:2:10 @ A river flowed out of Eden to water the garden, and there it divided and became four rivers.

rsv@Genesis:2:11 @ The name of the first is Pishon; it is the one which flows around the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;

rsv@Genesis:2:13 @ The name of the second river is Gihon; it is the one which flows around the whole land of Cush.

rsv@Genesis:2:14 @ And the name of the third river is Tigris, which flows east of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.

rsv@Genesis:2:15 @ The LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to till it and keep it.

rsv@Genesis:2:16 @ And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, "You may freely eat of every tree of the garden;

rsv@Genesis:2:18 @ Then the LORD God said, "It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him."

rsv@Genesis:2:19 @ So out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them; and whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name.

rsv@Genesis:2:21 @ So the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and while he slept took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh;

rsv@Genesis:2:22 @ and the rib which the LORD God had taken from the man he made into a woman and brought her to the man.

rsv@Genesis:3:1 @ Now the serpent was more subtle than any other wild creature that the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, "Did God say, `You shall not eat of any tree of the garden'?"

rsv@Genesis:3:8 @ And they heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden.

rsv@Genesis:3:9 @ But the LORD God called to the man, and said to him, "Where are you?"

rsv@Genesis:3:13 @ Then the LORD God said to the woman, "What is this that you have done?" The woman said, "The serpent beguiled me, and I ate."

rsv@Genesis:3:14 @ The LORD God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, cursed are you above all cattle, and above all wild animals; upon your belly you shall go, and dust you shall eat all the days of your life.

rsv@Genesis:3:21 @ And the LORD God made for Adam and for his wife garments of skins, and clothed them.

rsv@Genesis:3:22 @ Then the LORD God said, "Behold, the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil; and now, lest he put forth his hand and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever"--

rsv@Genesis:3:23 @ therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he was taken.

rsv@Genesis:4:1 @ Now Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore Cain, saying, "I have gotten a man with the help of the LORD."

rsv@Genesis:4:3 @ In the course of time Cain brought to the LORD an offering of the fruit of the ground,

rsv@Genesis:4:4 @ and Abel brought of the firstlings of his flock and of their fat portions. And the LORD had regard for Abel and his offering,

rsv@Genesis:4:6 @ The LORD said to Cain, "Why are you angry, and why has your countenance fallen?

rsv@Genesis:4:9 @ Then the LORD said to Cain, "Where is Abel your brother?" He said, "I do not know; am I my brother's keeper?"

rsv@Genesis:4:10 @ And the LORD said, "What have you done? The voice of your brother's blood is crying to me from the ground.

rsv@Genesis:4:11 @ And now you are cursed from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand.

rsv@Genesis:4:12 @ When you till the ground, it shall no longer yield to you its strength; you shall be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth."

rsv@Genesis:4:13 @ Cain said to the LORD, "My punishment is greater than I can bear.

rsv@Genesis:4:15 @ Then the LORD said to him, "Not so! If any one slays Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold." And the LORD put a mark on Cain, lest any who came upon him should kill him.

rsv@Genesis:4:16 @ Then Cain went away from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, east of Eden.

rsv@Genesis:4:26 @ To Seth also a son was born, and he called his name Enosh. At that time men began to call upon the name of the LORD.

rsv@Genesis:5:29 @ and called his name Noah, saying, "Out of the ground which the LORD has cursed this one shall bring us relief from our work and from the toil of our hands."

rsv@Genesis:6:3 @ Then the LORD said, "My spirit shall not abide in man for ever, for he is flesh, but his days shall be a hundred and twenty years."

rsv@Genesis:6:5 @ The LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

rsv@Genesis:6:6 @ And the LORD was sorry that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart.

rsv@Genesis:6:7 @ So the LORD said, "I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the ground, man and beast and creeping things and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them."

rsv@Genesis:6:8 @ But Noah found favor in the eyes of the LORD.

rsv@Genesis:6:16 @ Make a roof for the ark, and finish it to a cubit above; and set the door of the ark in its side; make it with lower, second, and third decks.

rsv@Genesis:6:17 @ For behold, I will bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh in which is the breath of life from under heaven; everything that is on the earth shall die.

rsv@Genesis:7:1 @ Then the LORD said to Noah, "Go into the ark, you and all your household, for I have seen that you are righteous before me in this generation.

rsv@Genesis:7:4 @ For in seven days I will send rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living thing that I have made I will blot out from the face of the ground."

rsv@Genesis:7:5 @ And Noah did all that the LORD had commanded him.

rsv@Genesis:7:6 @ Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters came upon the earth.

rsv@Genesis:7:7 @ And Noah and his sons and his wife and his sons' wives with him went into the ark, to escape the waters of the flood.

rsv@Genesis:7:10 @ And after seven days the waters of the flood came upon the earth.

rsv@Genesis:7:16 @ And they that entered, male and female of all flesh, went in as God had commanded him; and the LORD shut him in.

rsv@Genesis:7:17 @ The flood continued forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bore up the ark, and it rose high above the earth.

rsv@Genesis:7:18 @ The waters prevailed and increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark floated on the face of the waters.

rsv@Genesis:7:23 @ He blotted out every living thing that was upon the face of the ground, man and animals and creeping things and birds of the air; they were blotted out from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those that were with him in the ark.

rsv@Genesis:8:1 @ But God remembered Noah and all the beasts and all the cattle that were with him in the ark. And God made a wind blow over the earth, and the waters subsided;

rsv@Genesis:8:2 @ the fountains of the deep and the windows of the heavens were closed, the rain from the heavens was restrained,

rsv@Genesis:8:11 @ and the dove came back to him in the evening, and lo, in her mouth a freshly plucked olive leaf; so Noah knew that the waters had subsided from the earth.

rsv@Genesis:8:13 @ In the six hundred and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried from off the earth; and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and behold, the face of the ground was dry.

rsv@Genesis:8:20 @ Then Noah built an altar to the LORD, and took of every clean animal and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.

rsv@Genesis:8:21 @ And when the LORD smelled the pleasing odor, the LORD said in his heart, "I will never again curse the ground because of man, for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I ever again destroy every living creature as I have done.

rsv@Genesis:9:4 @ Only you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood.

rsv@Genesis:9:5 @ For your lifeblood I will surely require a reckoning; of every beast I will require it and of man; of every man's brother I will require the life of man.

rsv@Genesis:9:6 @ Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed; for God made man in his own image.

rsv@Genesis:9:11 @ I establish my covenant with you, that never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of a flood, and never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth."

rsv@Genesis:9:13 @ I set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth.

rsv@Genesis:9:14 @ When I bring clouds over the earth and the bow is seen in the clouds,

rsv@Genesis:9:15 @ I will remember my covenant which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh.

rsv@Genesis:9:16 @ When the bow is in the clouds, I will look upon it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth."

rsv@Genesis:9:26 @ He also said, "Blessed by the LORD my God be Shem; and let Canaan be his slave.

rsv@Genesis:9:28 @ After the flood Noah lived three hundred and fifty years.

rsv@Genesis:10:1 @ These are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth; sons were born to them after the flood.

rsv@Genesis:10:9 @ He was a mighty hunter before the LORD; therefore it is said, "Like Nimrod a mighty hunter before the LORD."

rsv@Genesis:10:32 @ These are the families of the sons of Noah, according to their genealogies, in their nations; and from these the nations spread abroad on the earth after the flood.

rsv@Genesis:11:5 @ And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the sons of men had built.

rsv@Genesis:11:6 @ And the LORD said, "Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language; and this is only the beginning of what they will do; and nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them.

rsv@Genesis:11:8 @ So the LORD scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city.

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:11:27 @ Now these are the descendants of Terah. Terah was the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran was the father of Lot.

rsv@Genesis:11:31 @ Terah took Abram his son and Lot the son of Haran, his grandson, and Sar'ai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram's wife, and they went forth together from Ur of the Chalde'ans to go into the land of Canaan; but when they came to Haran, they settled there.

rsv@Genesis:12:1 @ Now the LORD said to Abram, "Go from your country and your kindred and your father's house to the land that I will show you.

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:12:5 @ And Abram took Sar'ai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their possessions which they had gathered, and the persons that they had gotten in Haran; and they set forth to go to the land of Canaan. When they had come to the land of Canaan,

rsv@Genesis:12:7 @ Then the LORD appeared to Abram, and said, "To your descendants I will give this land." So he built there an altar to the LORD, who had appeared to him.

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:12:17 @ But the LORD afflicted Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sar'ai, Abram's wife.

rsv@Genesis:13:1 @ So Abram went up from Egypt, he and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the Negeb.

rsv@Genesis:13:4 @ to the place where he had made an altar at the first; and there Abram called on the name of the LORD.

rsv@Genesis:13:5 @ And Lot, who went with Abram, also had flocks and herds and tents,

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:13:8 @ Then Abram said to Lot, "Let there be no strife between you and me, and between your herdsmen and my herdsmen; for we are kinsmen.

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:13:13 @ Now the men of Sodom were wicked, great sinners against the LORD.

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:13:18 @ So Abram moved his tent, and came and dwelt by the oaks of Mamre, which are at Hebron; and there he built an altar to the LORD.

rsv@Genesis:14:12 @ they also took Lot, the son of Abram's brother, who dwelt in Sodom, and his goods, and departed.

rsv@Genesis:14:16 @ Then he brought back all the goods, and also brought back his kinsman Lot with his goods, and the women and the people.

rsv@Genesis:14:22 @ But Abram said to the king of Sodom, "I have sworn to the LORD God Most High, maker of heaven and earth,

rsv@Genesis:15:1 @ After these things the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision, "Fear not, Abram, I am your shield; your reward shall be very great."

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:15:4 @ And behold, the word of the LORD came to him, "This man shall not be your heir; your own son shall be your heir."

rsv@Genesis:15:5 @ And he brought him outside and said, "Look toward heaven, and number the stars, if you are able to number them." Then he said to him, "So shall your descendants be."

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

rsv@Genesis:15:7 @ And he said to him, "I am the LORD who brought you from Ur of the Chalde'ans, to give you this land to possess."

rsv@Genesis:15:8 @ But he said, "O Lord GOD, how am I to know that I shall possess it?"

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:15:13 @ Then the LORD said to Abram, "Know of a surety that your descendants will be sojourners in a land that is not theirs, and will be slaves there, and they will be oppressed for four hundred years;

rsv@Genesis:15:18 @ On that day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, "To your descendants I give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphra'tes,

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:16:4 @ And he went in to Hagar, and she conceived; and when she saw that she had conceived, she looked with contempt on her mistress.

rsv@Genesis:16:5 @ And Sar'ai said to Abram, "May the wrong done to me be on you! I gave my maid to your embrace, and when she saw that she had conceived, she looked on me with contempt. May the LORD judge between you and me!"

rsv@Genesis:16:7 @ The angel of the LORD found her by a spring of water in the wilderness, the spring on the way to Shur.

rsv@Genesis:16:9 @ The angel of the LORD said to her, "Return to your mistress, and submit to her."

rsv@Genesis:16:10 @ The angel of the LORD also said to her, "I will so greatly multiply your descendants that they cannot be numbered for multitude."

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:16:13 @ So she called the name of the LORD who spoke to her, "Thou art a God of seeing"; for she said, "Have I really seen God and remained alive after seeing him?"

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:17:5 @ No longer shall your name be Abram, but your name shall be Abraham; for I have made you the father of a multitude of nations.

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:18:2 @ He lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, three men stood in front of him. When he saw them, he ran from the tent door to meet them, and bowed himself to the earth,

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

rsv@Genesis:18:10 @ 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:18:13 @ The LORD said to Abraham, "Why did Sarah laugh, and say, `Shall I indeed bear a child, now that I am old?'

rsv@Genesis:18:14 @ Is anything too hard for the LORD? At the appointed time I will return to you, in the spring, and Sarah shall have a son."

rsv@Genesis:18:16 @ Then the men set out from there, and they looked toward Sodom; and Abraham went with them to set them on their way.

rsv@Genesis:18:17 @ The LORD said, "Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do,

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:18:20 @ Then the LORD said, "Because the outcry against Sodom and Gomor'rah is great and their sin is very grave,

rsv@Genesis:18:22 @ So the men turned from there, and went toward Sodom; but Abraham still stood before the LORD.

rsv@Genesis:18:26 @ And the LORD said, "If I find at Sodom fifty righteous in the city, I will spare the whole place for their sake."

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:18:30 @ Then he said, "Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak. Suppose thirty are found there." He answered, "I will not do it, if I find thirty there."

rsv@Genesis:18:31 @ He said, "Behold, I have taken upon myself to speak to the Lord. Suppose twenty are found there." He answered, "For the sake of twenty I will not destroy it."

rsv@Genesis:18:32 @ Then he said, "Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak again but this once. Suppose ten are found there." He answered, "For the sake of ten I will not destroy it."

rsv@Genesis:18:33 @ And the LORD went his way, when he had finished speaking to Abraham; and Abraham returned to his place.

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:19:5 @ and they called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us, that we may know them."

rsv@Genesis:19:6 @ Lot went out of the door to the men, shut the door after him,

rsv@Genesis:19:9 @ But they said, "Stand back!" And they said, "This fellow came to sojourn, and he would play the judge! Now we will deal worse with you than with them." Then they pressed hard against the man Lot, and drew near to break the door.

rsv@Genesis:19:10 @ But the men put forth their hands and brought Lot into the house to them, and shut the door.

rsv@Genesis:19:12 @ Then the men said to Lot, "Have you any one else here? Sons-in-law, sons, daughters, or any one you have in the city, bring them out of the place;

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:19:14 @ So Lot went out and said to his sons-in-law, who were to marry his daughters, "Up, get out of this place; for the LORD is about to destroy the city." But he seemed to his sons-in-law to be jesting.

rsv@Genesis:19:15 @ When morning dawned, the angels urged Lot, saying, "Arise, take your wife and your two daughters who are here, lest you be consumed in the punishment of the city."

rsv@Genesis:19:16 @ But he lingered; so the men seized him and his wife and his two daughters by the hand, the LORD being merciful to him, and they brought him forth and set him outside the city.

rsv@Genesis:19:17 @ And when they had brought them forth, they said, "Flee for your life; do not look back or stop anywhere in the valley; flee to the hills, lest you be consumed."

rsv@Genesis:19:18 @ And Lot said to them, "Oh, no, my lords;

rsv@Genesis:19:23 @ The sun had risen on the earth when Lot came to Zo'ar.

rsv@Genesis:19:24 @ Then the LORD rained on Sodom and Gomor'rah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven;

rsv@Genesis:19:26 @ But Lot's wife behind him looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.

rsv@Genesis:19:27 @ And Abraham went early in the morning to the place where he had stood before the LORD;

rsv@Genesis:19:28 @ and he looked down toward Sodom and Gomor'rah and toward all the land of the valley, and beheld, and lo, the smoke of the land went up like the smoke of a furnace.

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:19:36 @ Thus both the daughters of Lot were with child by their father.

rsv@Genesis:20:4 @ Now Abim'elech had not approached her; so he said, "Lord, wilt thou slay an innocent people?

rsv@Genesis:20:18 @ For the LORD had closed all the wombs of the house of Abim'elech because of Sarah, Abraham's wife.

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

rsv@Genesis:21:14 @ So Abraham rose early in the morning, and took bread and a skin of water, and gave it to Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, along with the child, and sent her away. And she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beer-sheba.

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:21:23 @ 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:21:28 @ Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock apart.

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:22:11 @ But the angel of the LORD called to him from heaven, and said, "Abraham, Abraham!" And he said, "Here am I."

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:22:15 @ And the angel of the LORD called to Abraham a second time from heaven,

rsv@Genesis:22:16 @ and said, "By myself I have sworn, says the LORD, because you have done this, and have not withheld your son, your only son,

rsv@Genesis:23:6 @ "Hear us, my lord; you are a mighty prince among us. Bury your dead in the choicest of our sepulchres; none of us will withhold from you his sepulchre, or hinder you from burying your dead."

rsv@Genesis:23:11 @ "No, my lord, hear me; I give you the field, and I give you the cave that is in it; in the presence of the sons of my people I give it to you; bury your dead."

rsv@Genesis:23:15 @ "My lord, listen to me; a piece of land worth four hundred shekels of silver, what is that between you and me? Bury your dead."

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

rsv@Genesis:24:3 @ and I will make you swear by the LORD, the God of heaven and of the earth, that you will not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell,

rsv@Genesis:24:5 @ The servant said to him, "Perhaps the woman may not be willing to follow me to this land; must I then take your son back to the land from which you came?"

rsv@Genesis:24:7 @ The LORD, the God of heaven, who took me from my father's house and from the land of my birth, and who spoke to me and swore to me, `To your descendants I will give this land,' he will send his angel before you, and you shall take a wife for my son from there.

rsv@Genesis:24:8 @ But if the woman is not willing to follow you, then you will be free from this oath of mine; only you must not take my son back there."

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:24:16 @ 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@Exodus:12:11 @ In this manner you shall eat it: your loins girded, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and you shall eat it in haste. It is the LORD's passover.

rsv@Exodus:12:12 @ For I will pass through the land of Egypt that night, and I will smite all the first-born in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and on all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments: I am the LORD.

rsv@Exodus:12:13 @ The blood shall be a sign for you, upon the houses where you are; and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and no plague shall fall upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.

rsv@Exodus:12:14 @ "This day shall be for you a memorial day, and you shall keep it as a feast to the LORD; throughout your generations you shall observe it as an ordinance for ever.

rsv@Exodus:12:22 @ Take a bunch of hyssop and dip it in the blood which is in the basin, and touch the lintel and the two doorposts with the blood which is in the basin; and none of you shall go out of the door of his house until the morning.

rsv@Exodus:12:23 @ For the LORD will pass through to slay the Egyptians; and when he sees the blood on the lintel and on the two doorposts, the LORD will pass over the door, and will not allow the destroyer to enter your houses to slay you.

rsv@Exodus:12:25 @ And when you come to the land which the LORD will give you, as he has promised, you shall keep this service.

rsv@Exodus:12:27 @ you shall say, `It is the sacrifice of the LORD's passover, for he passed over the houses of the people of Israel in Egypt, when he slew the Egyptians but spared our houses.'" And the people bowed their heads and worshiped.

rsv@Exodus:12:28 @ Then the people of Israel went and did so; as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did.

rsv@Exodus:12:29 @ At midnight the LORD smote all the first-born in the land of Egypt, from the first-born of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the first-born of the captive who was in the dungeon, and all the first-born of the cattle.

rsv@Exodus:12:31 @ And he summoned Moses and Aaron by night, and said, "Rise up, go forth from among my people, both you and the people of Israel; and go, serve the LORD, as you have said.

rsv@Exodus:12:32 @ Take your flocks and your herds, as you have said, and be gone; and bless me also!"

rsv@Exodus:12:35 @ The people of Israel had also done as Moses told them, for they had asked of the Egyptians jewelry of silver and of gold, and clothing;

rsv@Exodus:12:36 @ and the LORD had given the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they let them have what they asked. Thus they despoiled the Egyptians.

rsv@Exodus:12:38 @ A mixed multitude also went up with them, and very many cattle, both flocks and herds.

rsv@Exodus:12:41 @ And at the end of four hundred and thirty years, on that very day, all the hosts of the LORD went out from the land of Egypt.

rsv@Exodus:12:42 @ It was a night of watching by the LORD, to bring them out of the land of Egypt; so this same night is a night of watching kept to the LORD by all the people of Israel throughout their generations.

rsv@Exodus:13:9 @ And it shall be to you as a sign on your hand and as a memorial between your eyes, that the law of the LORD may be in your mouth; for with a strong hand the LORD has brought you out of Egypt.

rsv@Exodus:14:8 @ And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt and he pursued the people of Israel as they went forth defiantly.

rsv@Exodus:14:10 @ When Pharaoh drew near, the people of Israel lifted up their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians were marching after them; and they were in great fear. And the people of Israel cried out to the LORD;

rsv@Exodus:14:12 @ Is not this what we said to you in Egypt, `Let us alone and let us serve the Egyptians'? For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the wilderness."

rsv@Exodus:14:13 @ And Moses said to the people, "Fear not, stand firm, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will work for you today; for the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall never see again.

rsv@Exodus:14:14 @ The LORD will fight for you, and you have only to be still."

rsv@Exodus:14:15 @ The LORD said to Moses, "Why do you cry to me? Tell the people of Israel to go forward.

rsv@Exodus:14:17 @ And I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians so that they shall go in after them, and I will get glory over Pharaoh and all his host, his chariots, and his horsemen.

rsv@Exodus:14:18 @ And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I have gotten glory over Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen."

rsv@Exodus:14:19 @ Then the angel of God who went before the host of Israel moved and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud moved from before them and stood behind them,

rsv@Exodus:14:20 @ coming between the host of Egypt and the host of Israel. And there was the cloud and the darkness; and the night passed without one coming near the other all night.

rsv@Exodus:14:21 @ Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD drove the sea back by a strong east wind all night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.

rsv@Exodus:14:24 @ And in the morning watch the LORD in the pillar of fire and of cloud looked down upon the host of the Egyptians, and discomfited the host of the Egyptians,

rsv@Exodus:14:25 @ clogging their chariot wheels so that they drove heavily; and the Egyptians said, "Let us flee from before Israel; for the LORD fights for them against the Egyptians."

rsv@Exodus:14:26 @ Then the LORD said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand over the sea, that the water may come back upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen."

rsv@Exodus:14:27 @ So Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its wonted flow when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled into it, and the LORD routed the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.

rsv@Exodus:14:28 @ The waters returned and covered the chariots and the horsemen and all the host of Pharaoh that had followed them into the sea; not so much as one of them remained.

rsv@Exodus:14:30 @ Thus the LORD saved Israel that day from the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the seashore.

rsv@Exodus:14:31 @ And Israel saw the great work which the LORD did against the Egyptians, and the people feared the LORD; and they believed in the LORD and in his servant Moses.

rsv@Exodus:15:1 @ Then Moses and the people of Israel sang this song to the LORD, saying, "I will sing to the LORD, for he has triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea.

rsv@Exodus:16:34 @ As the LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron placed it before the testimony, to be kept.

rsv@Exodus:17:1 @ All the congregation of the people of Israel moved on from the wilderness of Sin by stages, according to the commandment of the LORD, and camped at Reph'idim; but there was no water for the people to drink.

rsv@Exodus:17:2 @ Therefore the people found fault with Moses, and said, "Give us water to drink." And Moses said to them, "Why do you find fault with me? Why do you put the LORD to the proof?"

rsv@Joshua:6:13 @ And the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the LORD passed on, blowing the trumpets continually; and the armed men went before them, and the rear guard came after the ark of the LORD, while the trumpets blew continually.

rsv@Joshua:6:23 @ So the young men who had been spies went in, and brought out Rahab, and her father and mother and brothers and all who belonged to her; and they brought all her kindred, and set them outside the camp of Israel.

rsv@Joshua:6:24 @ And they burned the city with fire, and all within it; only the silver and gold, and the vessels of bronze and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of the LORD.

rsv@Joshua:6:25 @ But Rahab the harlot, and her father's household, and all who belonged to her, Joshua saved alive; and she dwelt in Israel to this day, because she hid the messengers whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.

rsv@Joshua:7:1 @ But the people of Israel broke faith in regard to the devoted things; for Achan the son of Carmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took some of the devoted things; and the anger of the LORD burned against the people of Israel.

rsv@Joshua:7:6 @ Then Joshua rent his clothes, and fell to the earth upon his face before the ark of the LORD until the evening, he and the elders of Israel; and they put dust upon their heads.

rsv@Joshua:7:7 @ And Joshua said, "Alas, O Lord GOD, why hast thou brought this people over the Jordan at all, to give us into the hands of the Amorites, to destroy us? Would that we had been content to dwell beyond the Jordan!

rsv@Judges:1:3 @ And Judah said to Simeon his brother, "Come up with me into the territory allotted to me, that we may fight against the Canaanites; and I likewise will go with you into the territory allotted to you." So Simeon went with him.

rsv@Judges:1:4 @ Then Judah went up and the LORD gave the Canaanites and the Per'izzites into their hand; and they defeated ten thousand of them at Bezek.

rsv@Judges:1:19 @ And the LORD was with Judah, and he took possession of the hill country, but he could not drive out the inhabitants of the plain, because they had chariots of iron.

rsv@Judges:1:22 @ The house of Joseph also went up against Bethel; and the LORD was with them.

rsv@Judges:2:14 @ So the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he gave them over to plunderers, who plundered them; and he sold them into the power of their enemies round about, so that they could no longer withstand their enemies.

rsv@Judges:2:15 @ Whenever they marched out, the hand of the LORD was against them for evil, as the LORD had warned, and as the LORD had sworn to them; and they were in sore straits.

rsv@Judges:2:17 @ And yet they did not listen to their judges; for they played the harlot after other gods and bowed down to them; they soon turned aside from the way in which their fathers had walked, who had obeyed the commandments of the LORD, and they did not do so.

rsv@Judges:2:18 @ Whenever the LORD raised up judges for them, the LORD was with the judge, and he saved them from the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge; for the LORD was moved to pity by their groaning because of those who afflicted and oppressed them.

rsv@Judges:3:8 @ Therefore the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Cu'shan-rishatha'im king of Mesopota'mia; and the people of Israel served Cu'shan-rishatha'im eight years.

rsv@Judges:3:9 @ But when the people of Israel cried to the LORD, the LORD raised up a deliverer for the people of Israel, who delivered them, Oth'ni-el the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother.

rsv@Judges:3:15 @ But when the people of Israel cried to the LORD, the LORD raised up for them a deliverer, Ehud, the son of Gera, the Benjaminite, a left-handed man. The people of Israel sent tribute by him to Eglon the king of Moab.

rsv@Judges:3:28 @ And he said to them, "Follow after me; for the LORD has given your enemies the Moabites into your hand." So they went down after him, and seized the fords of the Jordan against the Moabites, and allowed not a man to pass over.

rsv@Judges:4:1 @ And the people of Israel again did what was evil in the sight of the LORD, after Ehud died.

rsv@Judges:4:2 @ And the LORD sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, who reigned in Hazor; the commander of his army was Sis'era, who dwelt in Haro'sheth-ha-goiim.

rsv@Judges:4:3 @ Then the people of Israel cried to the LORD for help; for he had nine hundred chariots of iron, and oppressed the people of Israel cruelly for twenty years.

rsv@Judges:6:23 @ But the LORD said to him, "Peace be to you; do not fear, you shall not die."

rsv@Judges:16:14 @ So while he slept, Deli'lah took the seven locks of his head and wove them into the web. And she made them tight with the pin, and said to him, "The Philistines are upon you, Samson!" But he awoke from his sleep, and pulled away the pin, the loom, and the web.

rsv@Judges:16:15 @ And she said to him, "How can you say, `I love you,' when your heart is not with me? You have mocked me these three times, and you have not told me wherein your great strength lies."

rsv@Judges:16:27 @ Now the house was full of men and women; all the lords of the Philistines were there, and on the roof there were about three thousand men and women, who looked on while Samson made sport.

rsv@Judges:16:28 @ Then Samson called to the LORD and said, "O Lord GOD, remember me, I pray thee, and strengthen me, I pray thee, only this once, O God, that I may be avenged upon the Philistines for one of my two eyes."

rsv@Judges:16:30 @ And Samson said, "Let me die with the Philistines." Then he bowed with all his might; and the house fell upon the lords and upon all the people that were in it. So the dead whom he slew at his death were more than those whom he had slain during his life.

rsv@Judges:17:2 @ And he said to his mother, "The eleven hundred pieces of silver which were taken from you, about which you uttered a curse, and also spoke it in my ears, behold, the silver is with me; I took it." And his mother said, "Blessed be my son by the LORD."

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:21:17 @ And they said, "There must be an inheritance for the survivors of Benjamin, that a tribe be not blotted out from Israel.

rsv@Ruth:1:9 @ The LORD grant that you may find a home, each of you in the house of her husband!" Then she kissed them, and they lifted up their voices and wept.

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:1:16 @ But Ruth said, "Entreat me not to leave you or to return from following you; for where you go I will go, and where you lodge I will lodge; your people shall be my people, and your God my God;

rsv@Ruth:1:17 @ where you die I will die, and there will I be buried. May the LORD do so to me and more also if even death parts me from you."

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:2:3 @ 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:2:4 @ And behold, Bo'az came from Bethlehem; and he said to the reapers, "The LORD be with you!" And they answered, "The LORD bless you."

rsv@Ruth:2:8 @ Then Bo'az said to Ruth, "Now, listen, my daughter, do not go to glean in another field or leave this one, but keep close to my maidens.

rsv@Ruth:2:12 @ The LORD recompense you for what you have done, and a full reward be given you by the LORD, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge!"

rsv@Ruth:2:13 @ Then she said, "You are most gracious to me, my lord, for you have comforted me and spoken kindly to your maidservant, though I am not one of your maidservants."

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:2:21 @ And Ruth the Moabitess said, "Besides, he said to me, `You shall keep close by my servants, till they have finished all my harvest.'"

rsv@Ruth:2:23 @ So she kept close to the maidens of Bo'az, gleaning until the end of the barley and wheat harvests; and she lived with her mother-in-law.

rsv@Ruth:3:2 @ Now is not Bo'az our kinsman, with whose maidens you were? See, he is winnowing barley tonight at the threshing floor.

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:3:10 @ 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:3:14 @ So she lay at his feet until the morning, but arose before one could recognize another; and he said, "Let it not be known that the woman came to the threshing floor."

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:4:9 @ Then Bo'az said to the elders and all the people, "You are witnesses this day that I have bought from the hand of Na'omi all that belonged to Elim'elech and all that belonged to Chil'ion and to Mahlon.

rsv@Ruth:4:10 @ Also Ruth the Moabitess, the widow of Mahlon, I have bought to be my wife, to perpetuate the name of the dead in his inheritance, that the name of the dead may not be cut off from among his brethren and from the gate of his native place; you are witnesses this day."

rsv@1Samuel:1:5 @ and, although he loved Hannah, he would give Hannah only one portion, because the LORD had closed her womb.

rsv@1Samuel:1:6 @ And her rival used to provoke her sorely, to irritate her, because the LORD had closed her womb.

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:1:18 @ 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:1:19 @ They rose early in the morning and worshiped before the LORD; then they went back to their house at Ramah. And Elka'nah knew Hannah his wife, and the LORD remembered her;

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:1:21 @ And the man Elka'nah and all his house went up to offer to the LORD the yearly sacrifice, and to pay his vow.

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:1:23 @ Elka'nah her husband said to her, "Do what seems best to you, wait until you have weaned him; only, may the LORD establish his word." So the woman remained and nursed her son, until she weaned him.

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:2:7 @ The LORD makes poor and makes rich; he brings low, he also exalts.

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:2:10 @ The adversaries of the LORD shall be broken to pieces; against them he will thunder in heaven. The LORD will judge the ends of the earth; he will give strength to his king, and exalt the power of his anointed."

rsv@1Samuel:2:11 @ Then Elka'nah went home to Ramah. And the boy ministered to the LORD, in the presence of Eli the priest.

rsv@1Samuel:2:26 @ Now the boy Samuel continued to grow both in stature and in favor with the LORD and with men.

rsv@1Samuel:2:27 @ And there came a man of God to Eli, and said to him, "Thus the LORD has said, `I revealed myself to the house of your father when they were in Egypt subject to the house of Pharaoh.

rsv@1Samuel:15:33 @ And Samuel said, "As your sword has made women childless, so shall your mother be childless among women." And Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before the LORD in Gilgal.

rsv@1Samuel:15:35 @ And Samuel did not see Saul again until the day of his death, but Samuel grieved over Saul. And the LORD repented that he had made Saul king over Israel.

rsv@1Samuel:16:1 @ The LORD said to Samuel, "How long will you grieve over Saul, seeing I have rejected him from being king over Israel? Fill your horn with oil, and go; I will send you to Jesse the Bethlehemite, for I have provided for myself a king among his sons."

rsv@1Samuel:16:7 @ But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for the LORD sees not as man sees; man looks on the outward appearance, but the LORD looks on the heart."

rsv@1Samuel:16:14 @ Now the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD tormented him.

rsv@1Samuel:16:16 @ Let our lord now command your servants, who are before you, to seek out a man who is skilful in playing the lyre; and when the evil spirit from God is upon you, he will play it, and you will be well."

rsv@1Samuel:16:18 @ One of the young men answered, "Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, who is skilful in playing, a man of valor, a man of war, prudent in speech, and a man of good presence; and the LORD is with him."

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:16:10 @ 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:16:16 @ And when Hushai the Archite, David's friend, came to Ab'salom, Hushai said to Ab'salom, "Long live the king! Long live the king!"

rsv@2Samuel:16:17 @ And Ab'salom said to Hushai, "Is this your loyalty to your friend? Why did you not go with your friend?"

rsv@2Samuel:16:18 @ And Hushai said to Ab'salom, "No; for whom the LORD and this people and all the men of Israel have chosen, his I will be, and with him I will remain.

rsv@2Samuel:16:20 @ Then Ab'salom said to Ahith'ophel, "Give your counsel; what shall we do?"

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:16:22 @ So they pitched a tent for Ab'salom upon the roof; and Ab'salom went in to his father's concubines in the sight of all Israel.

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:17:1 @ Moreover Ahith'ophel said to Ab'salom, "Let me choose twelve thousand men, and I will set out and pursue David tonight.

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:17:14 @ And Ab'salom and all the men of Israel said, "The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahith'ophel." For the LORD had ordained to defeat the good counsel of Ahith'ophel, so that the LORD might bring evil upon Ab'salom.

rsv@2Samuel:17:15 @ Then Hushai said to Zadok and Abi'athar the priests, "Thus and so did Ahith'ophel counsel Ab'salom and the elders of Israel; and thus and so have I counseled.

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:17:18 @ But a lad saw them, and told Ab'salom; so both of them went away quickly, and came to the house of a man at Bahu'rim, who had a well in his courtyard; and they went down into it.

rsv@2Samuel:17:20 @ When Ab'salom's servants came to the woman at the house, they said, "Where are Ahim'a-az and Jonathan?" And the woman said to them, "They have gone over the brook of water." And when they had sought and could not find them, they returned to Jerusalem.

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:17:24 @ Then David came to Mahana'im. And Ab'salom crossed the Jordan with all the men of Israel.

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:17:26 @ And Israel and Ab'salom encamped in the land of Gilead.

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:18:10 @ And a certain man saw it, and told Jo'ab, "Behold, I saw Ab'salom hanging in an oak."

rsv@2Samuel:18:12 @ But the man said to Jo'ab, "Even if I felt in my hand the weight of a thousand pieces of silver, I would not put forth my hand against the king's son; for in our hearing the king commanded you and Abi'shai and It'tai, `For my sake protect the young man Ab'salom.'

rsv@2Samuel:18:13 @ On the other hand, if I had dealt treacherously against his life (and there is nothing hidden from the king), then you yourself would have stood aloof."

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:18:15 @ And ten young men, Jo'ab's armor-bearers, surrounded Ab'salom and struck him, and killed him.

rsv@2Samuel:18:17 @ And they took Ab'salom, and threw him into a great pit in the forest, and raised over him a very great heap of stones; and all Israel fled every one to his own home.

rsv@2Samuel:18:18 @ Now Ab'salom in his lifetime had taken and set up for himself the pillar which is in the King's Valley, for he said, "I have no son to keep my name in remembrance"; he called the pillar after his own name, and it is called Ab'salom's monument to this day.

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:18:28 @ 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@1Kings:2:27 @ So Solomon expelled Abi'athar from being priest to the LORD, thus fulfilling the word of the LORD which he had spoken concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh.

rsv@1Kings:2:28 @ When the news came to Jo'ab --for Jo'ab had supported Adoni'jah although he had not supported Ab'salom-- Jo'ab fled to the tent of the LORD and caught hold of the horns of the altar.

rsv@1Kings:2:33 @ So shall their blood come back upon the head of Jo'ab and upon the head of his descendants for ever; but to David, and to his descendants, and to his house, and to his throne, there shall be peace from the LORD for evermore."

rsv@1Kings:3:1 @ Solomon made a marriage alliance with Pharaoh king of Egypt; he took Pharaoh's daughter, and brought her into the city of David, until he had finished building his own house and the house of the LORD and the wall around Jerusalem.

rsv@1Kings:3:2 @ The people were sacrificing at the high places, however, because no house had yet been built for the name of the LORD.

rsv@1Kings:3:3 @ Solomon loved the LORD, walking in the statutes of David his father; only, he sacrificed and burnt incense at the high places.

rsv@1Kings:3:4 @ And the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there, for that was the great high place; Solomon used to offer a thousand burnt offerings upon that altar.

rsv@1Kings:3:5 @ At Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night; and God said, "Ask what I shall give you."

rsv@1Kings:3:7 @ And now, O LORD my God, thou hast made thy servant king in place of David my father, although I am but a little child; I do not know how to go out or come in.

rsv@1Kings:3:11 @ And God said to him, "Because you have asked this, and have not asked for yourself long life or riches or the life of your enemies, but have asked for yourself understanding to discern what is right,

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:3:16 @ Then two harlots came to the king, and stood before him.

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:3:18 @ Then on the third day after I was delivered, this woman also gave birth; and we were alone; there was no one else with us in the house, only we two were in the house.

rsv@1Kings:4:25 @ And Judah and Israel dwelt in safety, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, every man under his vine and under his fig tree, all the days of Solomon.

rsv@1Kings:4:26 @ Solomon also had forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen.

rsv@1Kings:4:27 @ And those officers supplied provisions for King Solomon, and for all who came to King Solomon's table, each one in his month; they let nothing be lacking.

rsv@1Kings:4:29 @ And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding beyond measure, and largeness of mind like the sand on the seashore,

rsv@1Kings:4:30 @ so that Solomon's wisdom surpassed the wisdom of all the people of the east, and all the wisdom of Egypt.

rsv@1Kings:4:34 @ And men came from all peoples to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and from all the kings of the earth, who had heard of his wisdom.

rsv@1Kings:5:1 @ Now Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants to Solomon, when he heard that they had anointed him king in place of his father; for Hiram always loved David.

rsv@1Kings:5:2 @ And Solomon sent word to Hiram,

rsv@1Kings:5:3 @ "You know that David my father could not build a house for the name of the LORD his God because of the warfare with which his enemies surrounded him, until the LORD put them under the soles of his feet.

rsv@1Kings:5:4 @ But now the LORD my God has given me rest on every side; there is neither adversary nor misfortune.

rsv@1Kings:5:5 @ And so I purpose to build a house for the name of the LORD my God, as the LORD said to David my father, `Your son, whom I will set upon your throne in your place, shall build the house for my name.'

rsv@1Kings:5:7 @ When Hiram heard the words of Solomon, he rejoiced greatly, and said, "Blessed be the LORD this day, who has given to David a wise son to be over this great people."

rsv@1Kings:5:8 @ And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, "I have heard the message which you have sent to me; I am ready to do all you desire in the matter of cedar and cypress timber.

rsv@1Kings:5:10 @ So Hiram supplied Solomon with all the timber of cedar and cypress that he desired,

rsv@1Kings:5:11 @ while Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand cors of wheat as food for his household, and twenty thousand cors of beaten oil. Solomon gave this to Hiram year by year.

rsv@1Kings:5:12 @ And the LORD gave Solomon wisdom, as he promised him; and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon; and the two of them made a treaty.

rsv@1Kings:5:13 @ King Solomon raised a levy of forced labor out of all Israel; and the levy numbered thirty thousand men.

rsv@1Kings:6:1 @ In the four hundred and eightieth year after the people of Israel came out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month of Ziv, which is the second month, he began to build the house of the LORD.

rsv@1Kings:6:2 @ The house which King Solomon built for the LORD was sixty cubits long, twenty cubits wide, and thirty cubits high.

rsv@1Kings:6:3 @ The vestibule in front of the nave of the house was twenty cubits long, equal to the width of the house, and ten cubits deep in front of the house.

rsv@1Kings:6:6 @ The lowest story was five cubits broad, the middle one was six cubits broad, and the third was seven cubits broad; for around the outside of the house he made offsets on the wall in order that the supporting beams should not be inserted into the walls of the house.

rsv@1Kings:6:8 @ The entrance for the lowest story was on the south side of the house; and one went up by stairs to the middle story, and from the middle story to the third.

rsv@1Kings:6:14 @ So Solomon built the house, and finished it.

rsv@1Kings:6:15 @ He lined the walls of the house on the inside with boards of cedar; from the floor of the house to the rafters of the ceiling, he covered them on the inside with wood; and he covered the floor of the house with boards of cypress.

rsv@1Kings:6:16 @ He built twenty cubits of the rear of the house with boards of cedar from the floor to the rafters, and he built this within as an inner sanctuary, as the most holy place.

rsv@1Kings:6:17 @ The house, that is, the nave in front of the inner sanctuary, was forty cubits long.

rsv@1Kings:6:18 @ The cedar within the house was carved in the form of gourds and open flowers; all was cedar, no stone was seen.

rsv@1Kings:6:20 @ The inner sanctuary was twenty cubits long, twenty cubits wide, and twenty cubits high; and he overlaid it with pure gold. He also made an altar of cedar.

rsv@1Kings:6:21 @ And Solomon overlaid the inside of the house with pure gold, and he drew chains of gold across, in front of the inner sanctuary, and overlaid it with gold.

rsv@1Kings:6:22 @ And he overlaid the whole house with gold, until all the house was finished. Also the whole altar that belonged to the inner sanctuary he overlaid with gold.

rsv@1Kings:6:29 @ He carved all the walls of the house round about with carved figures of cherubim and palm trees and open flowers, in the inner and outer rooms.

rsv@1Kings:6:30 @ The floor of the house he overlaid with gold in the inner and outer rooms.

rsv@1Kings:6:32 @ He covered the two doors of olivewood with carvings of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers; he overlaid them with gold, and spread gold upon the cherubim and upon the palm trees.

rsv@1Kings:6:35 @ On them he carved cherubim and palm trees and open flowers; and he overlaid them with gold evenly applied upon the carved work.

rsv@1Kings:6:37 @ In the fourth year the foundation of the house of the LORD was laid, in the month of Ziv.

rsv@1Kings:7:1 @ Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished his entire house.

rsv@1Kings:7:7 @ And he made the Hall of the Throne where he was to pronounce judgment, even the Hall of Judgment; it was finished with cedar from floor to rafters.

rsv@1Kings:7:8 @ His own house where he was to dwell, in the other court back of the hall, was of like workmanship. Solomon also made a house like this hall for Pharaoh's daughter whom he had taken in marriage.

rsv@1Kings:7:9 @ All these were made of costly stones, hewn according to measure, sawed with saws, back and front, even from the foundation to the coping, and from the court of the house of the LORD to the great court.

rsv@1Kings:7:14 @ He was the son of a widow of the tribe of Naph'tali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in bronze; and he was full of wisdom, understanding, and skill, for making any work in bronze. He came to King Solomon, and did all his work.

rsv@1Kings:7:15 @ He cast two pillars of bronze. Eighteen cubits was the height of one pillar, and a line of twelve cubits measured its circumference; it was hollow, and its thickness was four fingers; the second pillar was the same.

rsv@1Kings:7:26 @ Its thickness was a handbreadth; and its brim was made like the brim of a cup, like the flower of a lily; it held two thousand baths.

rsv@1Kings:7:27 @ He also made the ten stands of bronze; each stand was four cubits long, four cubits wide, and three cubits high.

rsv@1Kings:7:29 @ and on the panels that were set in the frames were lions, oxen, and cherubim. Upon the frames, both above and below the lions and oxen, there were wreaths of beveled work.

rsv@1Kings:7:40 @ Hiram also made the pots, the shovels, and the basins. So Hiram finished all the work that he did for King Solomon on the house of the LORD:

rsv@1Kings:7:47 @ And Solomon left all the vessels unweighed, because there were so many of them; the weight of the bronze was not found out.

rsv@1Kings:7:48 @ So Solomon made all the vessels that were in the house of the LORD: the golden altar, the golden table for the bread of the Presence,

rsv@1Kings:7:49 @ the lampstands of pure gold, five on the south side and five on the north, before the inner sanctuary; the flowers, the lamps, and the tongs, of gold;

rsv@1Kings:8:5 @ And King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel, who had assembled before him, were with him before the ark, sacrificing so many sheep and oxen that they could not be counted or numbered.

rsv@1Kings:8:6 @ Then the priests brought the ark of the covenant of the LORD to its place, in the inner sanctuary of the house, in the most holy place, underneath the wings of the cherubim.

rsv@1Kings:8:8 @ And the poles were so long that the ends of the poles were seen from the holy place before the inner sanctuary; but they could not be seen from outside; and they are there to this day.

rsv@1Kings:8:9 @ There was nothing in the ark except the two tables of stone which Moses put there at Horeb, where the LORD made a covenant with the people of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.

rsv@1Kings:8:10 @ And when the priests came out of the holy place, a cloud filled the house of the LORD,

rsv@1Kings:8:11 @ so that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud; for the glory of the LORD filled the house of the LORD.

rsv@1Kings:9:25 @ Three times a year Solomon used to offer up burnt offerings and peace offerings upon the altar which he built to the LORD, burning incense before the LORD. So he finished the house.

rsv@1Kings:9:26 @ King Solomon built a fleet of ships at E'zion-ge'ber, which is near Eloth on the shore of the Red Sea, in the land of Edom.

rsv@2Chronicles:4:18 @ Solomon made all these things in great quantities, so that the weight of the bronze was not ascertained.

rsv@Isaiah:19:11 @ The princes of Zo'an are utterly foolish; the wise counselors of Pharaoh give stupid counsel. How can you say to Pharaoh, "I am a son of the wise, a son of ancient kings"?

rsv@Isaiah:19:12 @ Where then are your wise men? Let them tell you and make known what the LORD of hosts has purposed against Egypt.

rsv@Isaiah:19:14 @ The LORD has mingled within her a spirit of confusion; and they have made Egypt stagger in all her doings as a drunken man staggers in his vomit.

rsv@Isaiah:19:16 @ In that day the Egyptians will be like women, and tremble with fear before the hand which the LORD of hosts shakes over them.

rsv@Isaiah:19:17 @ And the land of Judah will become a terror to the Egyptians; every one to whom it is mentioned will fear because of the purpose which the LORD of hosts has purposed against them.

rsv@Isaiah:19:18 @ In that day there will be five cities in the land of Egypt which speak the language of Canaan and swear allegiance to the LORD of hosts. One of these will be called the City of the Sun.

rsv@Isaiah:19:19 @ In that day there will be an altar to the LORD in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar to the LORD at its border.

rsv@Isaiah:19:20 @ It will be a sign and a witness to the LORD of hosts in the land of Egypt; when they cry to the LORD because of oppressors he will send them a savior, and will defend and deliver them.

rsv@Isaiah:19:21 @ And the LORD will make himself known to the Egyptians; and the Egyptians will know the LORD in that day and worship with sacrifice and burnt offering, and they will make vows to the LORD and perform them.

rsv@Isaiah:19:22 @ And the LORD will smite Egypt, smiting and healing, and they will return to the LORD, and he will heed their supplications and heal them.

rsv@Isaiah:19:25 @ whom the LORD of hosts has blessed, saying, "Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel my heritage."

rsv@Isaiah:20:2 @ at that time the LORD had spoken by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, "Go, and loose the sackcloth from your loins and take off your shoes from your feet," and he had done so, walking naked and barefoot--

rsv@Isaiah:20:3 @ the LORD said, "As my servant Isaiah has walked naked and barefoot for three years as a sign and a portent against Egypt and Ethiopia,

rsv@Isaiah:21:3 @ Therefore my loins are filled with anguish; pangs have seized me, like the pangs of a woman in travail; I am bowed down so that I cannot hear, I am dismayed so that I cannot see.

rsv@Isaiah:21:4 @ My mind reels, horror has appalled me; the twilight I longed for has been turned for me into trembling.

rsv@Isaiah:21:6 @ For thus the Lord said to me: "Go, set a watchman, let him announce what he sees.

rsv@Isaiah:21:8 @ Then he who saw cried: "Upon a watchtower I stand, O Lord, continually by day, and at my post I am stationed whole nights.

rsv@Isaiah:21:9 @ And, behold, here come riders, horsemen in pairs!" And he answered, "Fallen, fallen is Babylon; and all the images of her gods he has shattered to the ground."

rsv@Isaiah:21:10 @ O my threshed and winnowed one, what I have heard from the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, I announce to you.

rsv@Isaiah:21:13 @ The oracle concerning Arabia. In the thickets in Arabia you will lodge, O caravans of De'danites.

rsv@Isaiah:21:16 @ For thus the Lord said to me, "Within a year, according to the years of a hireling, all the glory of Kedar will come to an end;

rsv@Isaiah:21:17 @ and the remainder of the archers of the mighty men of the sons of Kedar will be few; for the LORD, the God of Israel, has spoken."

rsv@Isaiah:22:4 @ Therefore I said: "Look away from me, let me weep bitter tears; do not labor to comfort me for the destruction of the daughter of my people."

rsv@Isaiah:22:5 @ For the Lord GOD of hosts has a day of tumult and trampling and confusion in the valley of vision, a battering down of walls and a shouting to the mountains.

rsv@Isaiah:22:8 @ He has taken away the covering of Judah. In that day you looked to the weapons of the House of the Forest,

rsv@Isaiah:22:9 @ and you saw that the breaches of the city of David were many, and you collected the waters of the lower pool,

rsv@Isaiah:22:11 @ You made a reservoir between the two walls for the water of the old pool. But you did not look to him who did it, or have regard for him who planned it long ago.

rsv@Isaiah:22:12 @ In that day the Lord GOD of hosts called to weeping and mourning, to baldness and girding with sackcloth;

rsv@Isaiah:22:14 @ The LORD of hosts has revealed himself in my ears: "Surely this iniquity will not be forgiven you till you die," says the Lord GOD of hosts.

rsv@Isaiah:22:15 @ Thus says the Lord GOD of hosts, "Come, go to this steward, to Shebna, who is over the household, and say to him:

rsv@Isaiah:22:17 @ Behold, the LORD will hurl you away violently, O you strong man. He will seize firm hold on you,

rsv@Isaiah:22:21 @ and I will clothe him with your robe, and will bind your girdle on him, and will commit your authority to his hand; and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah.

rsv@Isaiah:22:25 @ In that day, says the LORD of hosts, the peg that was fastened in a sure place will give way; and it will be cut down and fall, and the burden that was upon it will be cut off, for the LORD has spoken."

rsv@Isaiah:23:9 @ The LORD of hosts has purposed it, to defile the pride of all glory, to dishonor all the honored of the earth.

rsv@Isaiah:23:10 @ Overflow your land like the Nile, O daughter of Tarshish; there is no restraint any more.

rsv@Isaiah:23:11 @ He has stretched out his hand over the sea, he has shaken the kingdoms; the LORD has given command concerning Canaan to destroy its strongholds.

rsv@Isaiah:23:15 @ In that day Tyre will be forgotten for seventy years, like the days of one king. At the end of seventy years, it will happen to Tyre as in the song of the harlot:

rsv@Isaiah:23:16 @ "Take a harp, go about the city, O forgotten harlot! Make sweet melody, sing many songs, that you may be remembered."

rsv@Isaiah:23:17 @ At the end of seventy years, the LORD will visit Tyre, and she will return to her hire, and will play the harlot with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth.

rsv@Isaiah:23:18 @ Her merchandise and her hire will be dedicated to the LORD; it will not be stored or hoarded, but her merchandise will supply abundant food and fine clothing for those who dwell before the LORD.

rsv@Isaiah:24:1 @ Behold, the LORD will lay waste the earth and make it desolate, and he will twist its surface and scatter its inhabitants.

rsv@Isaiah:24:3 @ The earth shall be utterly laid waste and utterly despoiled; for the LORD has spoken this word.

rsv@Isaiah:24:14 @ They lift up their voices, they sing for joy; over the majesty of the LORD they shout from the west.

rsv@Isaiah:24:15 @ Therefore in the east give glory to the LORD; in the coastlands of the sea, to the name of the LORD, the God of Israel.

rsv@Isaiah:24:16 @ From the ends of the earth we hear songs of praise, of glory to the Righteous One. But I say, "I pine away, I pine away. Woe is me! For the treacherous deal treacherously, the treacherous deal very treacherously."

rsv@Isaiah:24:21 @ On that day the LORD will punish the host of heaven, in heaven, and the kings of the earth, on the earth.

rsv@Isaiah:24:23 @ Then the moon will be confounded, and the sun ashamed; for the LORD of hosts will reign on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem and before his elders he will manifest his glory.

rsv@Isaiah:25:1 @ O LORD, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things, plans formed of old, faithful and sure.

rsv@Isaiah:25:3 @ Therefore strong peoples will glorify thee; cities of ruthless nations will fear thee.

rsv@Isaiah:25:5 @ like heat in a dry place. Thou dost subdue the noise of the aliens; as heat by the shade of a cloud, so the song of the ruthless is stilled.

rsv@Isaiah:25:6 @ On this mountain the LORD of hosts will make for all peoples a feast of fat things, a feast of wine on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wine on the lees well refined.

rsv@Isaiah:25:8 @ He will swallow up death for ever, and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from all faces, and the reproach of his people he will take away from all the earth; for the LORD has spoken.

rsv@Isaiah:25:9 @ It will be said on that day, "Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, that he might save us. This is the LORD; we have waited for him; let us be glad and rejoice in his salvation."

rsv@Isaiah:25:10 @ For the hand of the LORD will rest on this mountain, and Moab shall be trodden down in his place, as straw is trodden down in a dung-pit.

rsv@Isaiah:25:11 @ And he will spread out his hands in the midst of it as a swimmer spreads his hands out to swim; but the LORD will lay low his pride together with the skill of his hands.

rsv@Isaiah:25:12 @ And the high fortifications of his walls he will bring down, lay low, and cast to the ground, even to the dust.

rsv@Isaiah:26:4 @ Trust in the LORD for ever, for the LORD GOD is an everlasting rock.

rsv@Isaiah:26:5 @ For he has brought low the inhabitants of the height, the lofty city. He lays it low, lays it low to the ground, casts it to the dust.

rsv@Isaiah:26:8 @ In the path of thy judgments, O LORD, we wait for thee; thy memorial name is the desire of our soul.

rsv@Isaiah:26:10 @ If favor is shown to the wicked, he does not learn righteousness; in the land of uprightness he deals perversely and does not see the majesty of the LORD.

rsv@Isaiah:26:11 @ O LORD, thy hand is lifted up, but they see it not. Let them see thy zeal for thy people, and be ashamed. Let the fire for thy adversaries consume them.

rsv@Isaiah:26:12 @ O LORD, thou wilt ordain peace for us, thou hast wrought for us all our works.

rsv@Isaiah:26:13 @ O LORD our God, other lords besides thee have ruled over us, but thy name alone we acknowledge.

rsv@Isaiah:26:15 @ But thou hast increased the nation, O LORD, thou hast increased the nation; thou art glorified; thou hast enlarged all the borders of the land.

rsv@Isaiah:26:16 @ O LORD, in distress they sought thee, they poured out a prayer when thy chastening was upon them.

rsv@Isaiah:26:17 @ Like a woman with child, who writhes and cries out in her pangs, when she is near her time, so were we because of thee, O LORD;

rsv@Isaiah:26:21 @ For behold, the LORD is coming forth out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity, and the earth will disclose the blood shed upon her, and will no more cover her slain.

rsv@Isaiah:27:1 @ In that day the LORD with his hard and great and strong sword will punish Leviathan the fleeing serpent, Leviathan the twisting serpent, and he will slay the dragon that is in the sea.

rsv@Isaiah:27:3 @ I, the LORD, am its keeper; every moment I water it. Lest any one harm it, I guard it night and day;

rsv@Isaiah:27:6 @ In days to come Jacob shall take root, Israel shall blossom and put forth shoots, and fill the whole world with fruit.

rsv@Isaiah:27:12 @ In that day from the river Euphra'tes to the Brook of Egypt the LORD will thresh out the grain, and you will be gathered one by one, O people of Israel.

rsv@Isaiah:27:13 @ And in that day a great trumpet will be blown, and those who were lost in the land of Assyria and those who were driven out to the land of Egypt will come and worship the LORD on the holy mountain at Jerusalem.

rsv@Isaiah:28:1 @ Woe to the proud crown of the drunkards of E'phraim, and to the fading flower of its glorious beauty, which is on the head of the rich valley of those overcome with wine!

rsv@Isaiah:28:2 @ Behold, the Lord has one who is mighty and strong; like a storm of hail, a destroying tempest, like a storm of mighty, overflowing waters, he will cast down to the earth with violence.

rsv@Isaiah:28:4 @ and the fading flower of its glorious beauty, which is on the head of the rich valley, will be like a first-ripe fig before the summer: when a man sees it, he eats it up as soon as it is in his hand.

rsv@Isaiah:28:5 @ In that day the LORD of hosts will be a crown of glory, and a diadem of beauty, to the remnant of his people;

rsv@Isaiah:28:11 @ Nay, but by men of strange lips and with an alien tongue the LORD will speak to this people,

rsv@Isaiah:28:13 @ Therefore the word of the LORD will be to them precept upon precept, precept upon precept, line upon line, line upon line, here a little, there a little; that they may go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.

rsv@Isaiah:28:14 @ Therefore hear the word of the LORD, you scoffers, who rule this people in Jerusalem!

rsv@Isaiah:28:16 @ therefore thus says the Lord GOD, "Behold, I am laying in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone, of a sure foundation: `He who believes will not be in haste.'

rsv@Isaiah:28:21 @ For the LORD will rise up as on Mount Pera'zim, he will be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon; to do his deed-- strange is his deed! and to work his work-- alien is his work!

rsv@Isaiah:28:22 @ Now therefore do not scoff, lest your bonds be made strong; for I have heard a decree of destruction from the Lord GOD of hosts upon the whole land.

rsv@Isaiah:28:24 @ Does he who plows for sowing plow continually? does he continually open and harrow his ground?

rsv@Isaiah:28:29 @ This also comes from the LORD of hosts; he is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in wisdom.

rsv@Isaiah:29:4 @ Then deep from the earth you shall speak, from low in the dust your words shall come; your voice shall come from the ground like the voice of a ghost, and your speech shall whisper out of the dust.

rsv@Isaiah:29:6 @ you will be visited by the LORD of hosts with thunder and with earthquake and great noise, with whirlwind and tempest, and the flame of a devouring fire.

rsv@Isaiah:29:10 @ For the LORD has poured out upon you a spirit of deep sleep, and has closed your eyes, the prophets, and covered your heads, the seers.

rsv@Isaiah:29:13 @ And the Lord said: "Because this people draw near with their mouth and honor me with their lips, while their hearts are far from me, and their fear of me is a commandment of men learned by rote;

rsv@Isaiah:29:14 @ therefore, behold, I will again do marvelous things with this people, wonderful and marvelous; and the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the discernment of their discerning men shall be hid."

rsv@Isaiah:29:15 @ Woe to those who hide deep from the LORD their counsel, whose deeds are in the dark, and who say, "Who sees us? Who knows us?"

rsv@Isaiah:29:18 @ In that day the deaf shall hear the words of a book, and out of their gloom and darkness the eyes of the blind shall see.

rsv@Isaiah:29:19 @ The meek shall obtain fresh joy in the LORD, and the poor among men shall exult in the Holy One of Israel.

rsv@Isaiah:29:22 @ Therefore thus says the LORD, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob: "Jacob shall no more be ashamed, no more shall his face grow pale.

rsv@Isaiah:30:27 @ Behold, the name of the LORD comes from far, burning with his anger, and in thick rising smoke; his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue is like a devouring fire;

rsv@Isaiah:30:28 @ his breath is like an overflowing stream that reaches up to the neck; to sift the nations with the sieve of destruction, and to place on the jaws of the peoples a bridle that leads astray.

rsv@Isaiah:30:29 @ You shall have a song as in the night when a holy feast is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one sets out to the sound of the flute to go to the mountain of the LORD, to the Rock of Israel.

rsv@Isaiah:30:30 @ And the LORD will cause his majestic voice to be heard and the descending blow of his arm to be seen, in furious anger and a flame of devouring fire, with a cloudburst and tempest and hailstones.

rsv@Isaiah:30:31 @ The Assyrians will be terror-stricken at the voice of the LORD, when he smites with his rod.

rsv@Isaiah:30:32 @ And every stroke of the staff of punishment which the LORD lays upon them will be to the sound of timbrels and lyres; battling with brandished arm he will fight with them.

rsv@Isaiah:30:33 @ For a burning place has long been prepared; yea, for the king it is made ready, its pyre made deep and wide, with fire and wood in abundance; the breath of the LORD, like a stream of brimstone, kindles it.

rsv@Isaiah:31:1 @ Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help and rely on horses, who trust in chariots because they are many and in horsemen because they are very strong, but do not look to the Holy One of Israel or consult the LORD!

rsv@Isaiah:31:3 @ The Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses are flesh, and not spirit. When the LORD stretches out his hand, the helper will stumble, and he who is helped will fall, and they will all perish together.

rsv@Isaiah:31:4 @ For thus the LORD said to me, As a lion or a young lion growls over his prey, and when a band of shepherds is called forth against him is not terrified by their shouting or daunted at their noise, so the LORD of hosts will come down to fight upon Mount Zion and upon its hill.

rsv@Isaiah:31:5 @ Like birds hovering, so the LORD of hosts will protect Jerusalem; he will protect and deliver it, he will spare and rescue it.

rsv@Isaiah:31:9 @ His rock shall pass away in terror, and his officers desert the standard in panic," says the LORD, whose fire is in Zion, and whose furnace is in Jerusalem.

rsv@Isaiah:34:6 @ The LORD has a sword; it is sated with blood, it is gorged with fat, with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams. For the LORD has a sacrifice in Bozrah, a great slaughter in the land of Edom.

rsv@Ezekiel:24:6 @ "Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose rust is in it, and whose rust has not gone out of it! Take out of it piece after piece, without making any choice.

rsv@Ezekiel:24:7 @ For the blood she has shed is still in the midst of her; she put it on the bare rock, she did not pour it upon the ground to cover it with dust.

rsv@Ezekiel:24:8 @ To rouse my wrath, to take vengeance, I have set on the bare rock the blood she has shed, that it may not be covered.

rsv@Ezekiel:24:9 @ Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Woe to the bloody city! I also will make the pile great.

rsv@Ezekiel:24:10 @ Heap on the logs, kindle the fire, boil well the flesh, and empty out the broth, and let the bones be burned up.

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:7:6 @ 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:7:13 @ 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: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:8:13 @ Then I heard a holy one speaking; and another holy one said to the one that spoke, "For how long is the vision concerning the continual burnt offering, the transgression that makes desolate, and the giving over of the sanctuary and host to be trampled under foot?"

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@Hosea:12:13 @ By a prophet the LORD brought Israel up from Egypt, and by a prophet he was preserved.

rsv@Hosea:12:14 @ E'phraim has given bitter provocation; so his LORD will leave his bloodguilt upon him, and will turn back upon him his reproaches.

rsv@Malachi:1:4 @ If Edom says, "We are shattered but we will rebuild the ruins," the LORD of hosts says, "They may build, but I will tear down, till they are called the wicked country, the people with whom the LORD is angry for ever."

rsv@Malachi:1:5 @ Your own eyes shall see this, and you shall say, "Great is the LORD, beyond the border of Israel!"

rsv@Malachi:1:6 @ "A son honors his father, and a servant his master. If then I am a father, where is my honor? And if I am a master, where is my fear? says the LORD of hosts to you, O priests, who despise my name. You say, `How have we despised thy name?'

rsv@Malachi:1:7 @ By offering polluted food upon my altar. And you say, `How have we polluted it?' By thinking that the LORD's table may be despised.

rsv@Malachi:1:8 @ When you offer blind animals in sacrifice, is that no evil? And when you offer those that are lame or sick, is that no evil? Present that to your governor; will he be pleased with you or show you favor? says the LORD of hosts.

rsv@Malachi:1:9 @ And now entreat the favor of God, that he may be gracious to us. With such a gift from your hand, will he show favor to any of you? says the LORD of hosts.

rsv@Malachi:1:10 @ Oh, that there were one among you who would shut the doors, that you might not kindle fire upon my altar in vain! I have no pleasure in you, says the LORD of hosts, and I will not accept an offering from your hand.

rsv@Malachi:1:11 @ For from the rising of the sun to its setting my name is great among the nations, and in every place incense is offered to my name, and a pure offering; for my name is great among the nations, says the LORD of hosts.

rsv@Malachi:1:12 @ But you profane it when you say that the LORD's table is polluted, and the food for it may be despised.

rsv@Malachi:1:13 @ `What a weariness this is,' you say, and you sniff at me, says the LORD of hosts. You bring what has been taken by violence or is lame or sick, and this you bring as your offering! Shall I accept that from your hand? says the LORD.

rsv@Malachi:1:14 @ Cursed be the cheat who has a male in his flock, and vows it, and yet sacrifices to the Lord what is blemished; for I am a great King, says the LORD of hosts, and my name is feared among the nations.

rsv@Malachi:2:2 @ If you will not listen, if you will not lay it to heart to give glory to my name, says the LORD of hosts, then I will send the curse upon you and I will curse your blessings; indeed I have already cursed them, because you do not lay it to heart.

rsv@Malachi:2:4 @ So shall you know that I have sent this command to you, that my covenant with Levi may hold, says the LORD of hosts.

rsv@Malachi:2:7 @ For the lips of a priest should guard knowledge, and men should seek instruction from his mouth, for he is the messenger of the LORD of hosts.

rsv@Malachi:2:8 @ But you have turned aside from the way; you have caused many to stumble by your instruction; you have corrupted the covenant of Levi, says the LORD of hosts,

rsv@Malachi:2:11 @ Judah has been faithless, and abomination has been committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah has profaned the sanctuary of the LORD, which he loves, and has married the daughter of a foreign god.

rsv@Malachi:2:12 @ May the LORD cut off from the tents of Jacob, for the man who does this, any to witness or answer, or to bring an offering to the LORD of hosts!

rsv@Malachi:2:13 @ And this again you do. You cover the LORD's altar with tears, with weeping and groaning because he no longer regards the offering or accepts it with favor at your hand.

rsv@Malachi:2:14 @ You ask, "Why does he not?" Because the LORD was witness to the covenant between you and the wife of your youth, to whom you have been faithless, though she is your companion and your wife by covenant.

rsv@Malachi:2:16 @ "For I hate divorce, says the LORD the God of Israel, and covering one's garment with violence, says the LORD of hosts. So take heed to yourselves and do not be faithless."

rsv@Malachi:2:17 @ You have wearied the LORD with your words. Yet you say, "How have we wearied him?" By saying, "Every one who does evil is good in the sight of the LORD, and he delights in them." Or by asking, "Where is the God of justice?"

rsv@Malachi:3:1 @ "Behold, I send my messenger to prepare the way before me, and the Lord whom you seek will suddenly come to his temple; the messenger of the covenant in whom you delight, behold, he is coming, says the LORD of hosts.

rsv@Malachi:3:3 @ he will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and he will purify the sons of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, till they present right offerings to the LORD.

rsv@Malachi:3:4 @ Then the offering of Judah and Jerusalem will be pleasing to the LORD as in the days of old and as in former years.

rsv@Malachi:3:5 @ "Then I will draw near to you for judgment; I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, against the adulterers, against those who swear falsely, against those who oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow and the orphan, against those who thrust aside the sojourner, and do not fear me, says the LORD of hosts.

rsv@Malachi:3:6 @ "For I the LORD do not change; therefore you, O sons of Jacob, are not consumed.

rsv@Malachi:3:7 @ From the days of your fathers you have turned aside from my statutes and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will return to you, says the LORD of hosts. But you say, `How shall we return?'

rsv@Malachi:3:10 @ Bring the full tithes into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house; and thereby put me to the test, says the LORD of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you an overflowing blessing.

rsv@Malachi:3:11 @ I will rebuke the devourer for you, so that it will not destroy the fruits of your soil; and your vine in the field shall not fail to bear, says the LORD of hosts.

rsv@Malachi:3:12 @ Then all nations will call you blessed, for you will be a land of delight, says the LORD of hosts.

rsv@Malachi:3:13 @ "Your words have been stout against me, says the LORD. Yet you say, `How have we spoken against thee?'

rsv@Malachi:3:14 @ You have said, `It is vain to serve God. What is the good of our keeping his charge or of walking as in mourning before the LORD of hosts?

rsv@Malachi:3:16 @ Then those who feared the LORD spoke with one another; the LORD heeded and heard them, and a book of remembrance was written before him of those who feared the LORD and thought on his name.

rsv@Malachi:3:17 @ "They shall be mine, says the LORD of hosts, my special possession on the day when I act, and I will spare them as a man spares his son who serves him.

rsv@Luke:20:13 @ Then the owner of the vineyard said, `What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; it may be they will respect him.'

rsv@Luke:20:17 @ But he looked at them and said, "What then is this that is written: `The very stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner'?

rsv@Luke:20:37 @ But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed, in the passage about the bush, where he calls the Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.

rsv@Luke:20:40 @ For they no longer dared to ask him any question.

rsv@Luke:20:42 @ For David himself says in the Book of Psalms, `The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand,

rsv@Luke:20:44 @ David thus calls him Lord; so how is he his son?"

rsv@Luke:20:46 @ "Beware of the scribes, who like to go about in long robes, and love salutations in the market places and the best seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at feasts,

rsv@Luke:20:47 @ who devour widows' houses and for a pretense make long prayers. They will receive the greater condemnation."

rsv@Luke:21:1 @ He looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the treasury;

rsv@Luke:21:27 @ And then they will see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

rsv@Luke:21:28 @ Now when these things begin to take place, look up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near."

rsv@Luke:21:29 @ And he told them a parable: "Look at the fig tree, and all the trees;

rsv@Luke:21:37 @ And every day he was teaching in the temple, but at night he went out and lodged on the mount called Olivet.

rsv@Luke:22:10 @ He said to them, "Behold, when you have entered the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you; follow him into the house which he enters,

rsv@Luke:22:20 @ And likewise the cup after supper, saying, "This cup which is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood.

rsv@Luke:22:25 @ And he said to them, "The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and those in authority over them are called benefactors.

rsv@Luke:22:33 @ And he said to him, "Lord, I am ready to go with you to prison and to death."

rsv@Luke:22:38 @ And they said, "Look, Lord, here are two swords." And he said to them, "It is enough."

rsv@Luke:22:39 @ And he came out, and went, as was his custom, to the Mount of Olives; and the disciples followed him.

rsv@Luke:22:47 @ And when those who were about him saw what would follow, they said, "Lord, shall we strike with the sword?"

rsv@Luke:22:52 @ Then they seized him and led him away, bringing him into the high priest's house. Peter followed at a distance;

rsv@Luke:22:59 @ And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said to him, "Before the cock crows today, you will deny me three times."

rsv@Luke:23:7 @ And when he learned that he belonged to Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him over to Herod, who was himself in Jerusalem at that time.

rsv@Luke:23:8 @ When Herod saw Jesus, he was very glad, for he had long desired to see him, because he had heard about him, and he was hoping to see some sign done by him.

rsv@Luke:23:22 @ But they were urgent, demanding with loud cries that he should be crucified. And their voices prevailed.

rsv@Luke:23:26 @ And there followed him a great multitude of the people, and of women who bewailed and lamented him.

rsv@Luke:23:33 @ And Jesus said, "Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do." And they cast lots to divide his garments.

rsv@Luke:23:45 @ Then Jesus, crying with a loud voice, said, "Father, into thy hands I commit my spirit!" And having said this he breathed his last.

rsv@Luke:23:48 @ And all his acquaintances and the women who had followed him from Galilee stood at a distance and saw these things.

rsv@Luke:23:50 @ who had not consented to their purpose and deed, and he was looking for the kingdom of God.

rsv@Luke:23:54 @ The women who had come with him from Galilee followed, and saw the tomb, and how his body was laid;

rsv@Luke:24:16 @ And he said to them, "What is this conversation which you are holding with each other as you walk?" And they stood still, looking sad.

rsv@Luke:24:24 @ And he said to them, "O foolish men, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!

rsv@John:1:23 @ He said, "I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, `Make straight the way of the Lord,' as the prophet Isaiah said."

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

rsv@John:1:37 @ The two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus.

rsv@John:1:38 @ Jesus turned, and saw them following, and said to them, "What do you seek?" And they said to him, "Rabbi" (which means Teacher), "where are you staying?"

rsv@John:1:40 @ One of the two who heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.

rsv@John:1:42 @ He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him, and said, "So you are Simon the son of John? You shall be called Cephas" (which means Peter).

rsv@John:1:43 @ The next day Jesus decided to go to Galilee. And he found Philip and said to him, "Follow me."

rsv@John:2:6 @ Now six stone jars were standing there, for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons.

rsv@John:2:11 @ This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee, and manifested his glory; and his disciples believed in him.

rsv@John:3:8 @ The wind blows where it wills, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know whence it comes or whither it goes; so it is with every one who is born of the Spirit."

rsv@John:3:16 @ For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

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:3:31 @ He who comes from above is above all; he who is of the earth belongs to the earth, and of the earth he speaks; he who comes from heaven is above all.

rsv@John:3:35 @ the Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand.

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:4:42 @ They said to the woman, "It is no longer because of your words that we believe, for we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this is indeed the Savior of the world."

rsv@John:5:5 @ When Jesus saw him and knew that he had been lying there a long time, he said to him, "Do you want to be healed?"

rsv@John:5:19 @ For the Father loves the Son, and shows him all that he himself is doing; and greater works than these will he show him, that you may marvel.

rsv@John:5:40 @ I do not receive glory from men.

rsv@John:5:41 @ But I know that you have not the love of God within you.

rsv@John:5:43 @ How can you believe, who receive glory from one another and do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?

rsv@John:6:2 @ And a multitude followed him, because they saw the signs which he did on those who were diseased.

rsv@John:6:9 @ "There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two fish; but what are they among so many?"

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:6:12 @ And when they had eaten their fill, he told his disciples, "Gather up the fragments left over, that nothing may be lost."

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:6:18 @ The sea rose because a strong wind was blowing.

rsv@John:6:22 @ On the next day the people who remained on the other side of the sea saw that there had been only one boat there, and that Jesus had not entered the boat with his disciples, but that his disciples had gone away alone.

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:6:26 @ Jesus answered them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, you seek me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate your fill of the loaves.

rsv@John:6:34 @ They said to him, "Lord, give us this bread always."

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:6:53 @ So Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you;

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:6:55 @ For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.

rsv@John:6:56 @ He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him.

rsv@John:6:66 @ After this many of his disciples drew back and no longer went about with him.

rsv@John:6:68 @ Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life;

rsv@John:7:11 @ The Jews were looking for him at the feast, and saying, "Where is he?"

rsv@John:7:18 @ He who speaks on his own authority seeks his own glory; but he who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and in him there is no falsehood.

rsv@John:7:33 @ Jesus then said, "I shall be with you a little longer, and then I go to him who sent me;

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: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:8:11 @ She said, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said, "Neither do I condemn you; go, and do not sin again."

rsv@John:8:12 @ Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, "I am the light of the world; he who follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."

rsv@John:8:16 @ Yet even if I do judge, my judgment is true, for it is not I alone that judge, but I and he who sent me.

rsv@John:8:23 @ He said to them, "You are from below, I am from above; you are of this world, I am not of this world.

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:8:42 @ Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love me, for I proceeded and came forth from God; I came not of my own accord, but he sent me.

rsv@John:8:50 @ Yet I do not seek my own glory; there is One who seeks it and he will be the judge.

rsv@John:8:54 @ Jesus answered, "If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing; it is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say that he is your God.

rsv@John:9:5 @ As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world."

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:9:11 @ 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:9:38 @ He said, "Lord, I believe"; and he worshiped him.

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:10:5 @ A stranger they will not follow, but they will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers."

rsv@John:10:16 @ And I have other sheep, that are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will heed my voice. So there shall be one flock, one shepherd.

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:10:23 @ it was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the portico of Solomon.

rsv@John:10:24 @ So the Jews gathered round him and said to him, "How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly."

rsv@John:10:26 @ but you do not believe, because you do not belong to my sheep.

rsv@John:10:27 @ My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me;

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:11:3 @ So the sisters sent to him, saying, "Lord, he whom you love is ill."

rsv@John:11:4 @ But when Jesus heard it he said, "This illness is not unto death; it is for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified by means of it."

rsv@John:11:5 @ Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Laz'arus.

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:11:12 @ The disciples said to him, "Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover."

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:11:21 @ Martha said to Jesus, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.

rsv@John:11:27 @ She said to him, "Yes, Lord; I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, he who is coming into the world."

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:11:34 @ and he said, "Where have you laid him?" They said to him, "Lord, come and see."

rsv@John:11:36 @ So the Jews said, "See how he loved him!"

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:11:40 @ Jesus said to her, "Did I not tell you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?"

rsv@John:11:43 @ When he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, "Laz'arus, come out."

rsv@John:11:44 @ The dead man came out, his hands and feet bound with bandages, and his face wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, "Unbind him, and let him go."

rsv@John:11:54 @ Jesus therefore no longer went about openly among the Jews, but went from there to the country near the wilderness, to a town called E'phraim; and there he stayed with the disciples.

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:12:7 @ Jesus said, "Let her alone, let her keep it for the day of my burial.

rsv@John:12:13 @ So they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, crying, "Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel!"

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:12:19 @ The Pharisees then said to one another, "You see that you can do nothing; look, the world has gone after him."

rsv@John:12:23 @ And Jesus answered them, "The hour has come for the Son of man to be glorified.

rsv@John:12:24 @ Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.

rsv@John:12:25 @ He who loves his life loses it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.

rsv@John:12:26 @ If any one serves me, he must follow me; and where I am, there shall my servant be also; if any one serves me, the Father will honor him.

rsv@John:12:28 @ Father, glorify thy name." Then a voice came from heaven, "I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again."

rsv@John:12:35 @ Jesus said to them, "The light is with you for a little longer. Walk while you have the light, lest the darkness overtake you; he who walks in the darkness does not know where he goes.

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:12:41 @ Isaiah said this because he saw his glory and spoke of him.

rsv@John:12:43 @ for they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.

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:13:6 @ He came to Simon Peter; and Peter said to him, "Lord, do you wash my feet?"

rsv@John:13:9 @ Simon Peter said to him, "Lord, not my feet only but also my hands and my head!"

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:21:13 @ Then Paul answered, "What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be imprisoned but even to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus."

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:21:18 @ On the following day Paul went in with us to James; and all the elders were present.

rsv@Acts:21:20 @ And when they heard it, they glorified God. And they said to him, "You see, brother, how many thousands there are among the Jews of those who have believed; they are all zealous for the law,

rsv@Acts:21:24 @ take these men and purify yourself along with them and pay their expenses, so that they may shave their heads. Thus all will know that there is nothing in what they have been told about you but that you yourself live in observance of the law.

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: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:22:10 @ 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:22:19 @ And I said, `Lord, they themselves know that in every synagogue I imprisoned and beat those who believed in thee.

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:22:22 @ Up to this word they listened to him; then they lifted up their voices and said, "Away with such a fellow from the earth! For he ought not to live."

rsv@Acts:23:1 @ And Paul, looking intently at the council, said, "Brethren, I have lived before God in all good conscience up to this day."

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:23:15 @ 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:23:20 @ 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:23:30 @ 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:24:5 @ For we have found this man a pestilent fellow, an agitator among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes.

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:25:24 @ And Festus said, "King Agrippa and all who are present with us, you see this man about whom the whole Jewish people petitioned me, both at Jerusalem and here, shouting that he ought not to live any longer.

rsv@Acts:25:26 @ But I have nothing definite to write to my lord about him. Therefore I have brought him before you, and, especially before you, King Agrippa, that, after we have examined him, I may have something to write.

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:26:29 @ 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:27:2 @ 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:27:10 @ saying, "Sirs, I perceive that the voyage will be with injury and much loss, not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives."

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:27:13 @ And when the south wind blew gently, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close inshore.

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:27:21 @ 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:27:22 @ I now bid you take heart; for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.

rsv@Acts:27:23 @ For this very night there stood by me an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I worship,

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:27:27 @ 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:27:40 @ 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: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:28:7 @ Now in the neighborhood of that place were lands belonging to the chief man of the island, named Publius, who received us and entertained us hospitably for three days.

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:28:23 @ When they had appointed a day for him, they came to him at his lodging in great numbers. And he expounded the matter to them from morning till evening, testifying to the kingdom of God and trying to convince them about Jesus both from the law of Moses and from the prophets.

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@Romans:4:23 @ But the words, "it was reckoned to him," were written not for his sake alone,

rsv@Romans:4:24 @ but for ours also. It will be reckoned to us who believe in him that raised from the dead Jesus our Lord,

rsv@Romans:5:1 @ Therefore, since we are justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.

rsv@Romans:5:2 @ Through him we have obtained access to this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in our hope of sharing the glory of God.

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:5:11 @ Not only so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received our reconciliation.

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:5:21 @ 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:6:9 @ For we know that Christ being raised from the dead will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him.

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

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:7:20 @ Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I that do it, but sin which dwells within me.

rsv@Romans:7:21 @ So I find it to be a law that when I want to do right, evil lies close at hand.

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

rsv@Romans:8:18 @ I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.

rsv@Romans:8:19 @ For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God;

rsv@Romans:8:21 @ because the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and obtain the glorious liberty of the children of God.

rsv@Romans:8:37 @ No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

rsv@Romans:9:28 @ for the Lord will execute his sentence upon the earth with rigor and dispatch."

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:10:9 @ because, if you confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

rsv@Romans:10:12 @ For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; the same Lord is Lord of all and bestows his riches upon all who call upon him.

rsv@Romans:10:13 @ For, "every one who calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved."

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:10:19 @ 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:10:21 @ But of Israel he says, "All day long I have held out my hands to a disobedient and contrary people."

rsv@Romans:11:3 @ "Lord, they have killed thy prophets, they have demolished thy altars, and I alone am left, and they seek my life."

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:11:11 @ 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:11:14 @ in order to make my fellow Jews jealous, and thus save some of them.

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:11:34 @ "For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been his counselor?"

rsv@Romans:11:36 @ For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory for ever. Amen.

rsv@Romans:12:9 @ Let love be genuine; hate what is evil, hold fast to what is good;

rsv@Romans:12:10 @ love one another with brotherly affection; outdo one another in showing honor.

rsv@Romans:12:11 @ Never flag in zeal, be aglow with the Spirit, serve the Lord.

rsv@Romans:12:16 @ Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly; never be conceited.

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

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@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:5:5 @ you are to deliver this man to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

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:6:13 @ "Food is meant for the stomach and the stomach for food"--and God will destroy both one and the other. The body is not meant for immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.

rsv@1Corinthians:6:14 @ And God raised the Lord and will also raise us up by his power.

rsv@1Corinthians:6:17 @ But he who is united to the Lord becomes one spirit with him.

rsv@1Corinthians:6:20 @ you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.

rsv@1Corinthians:7:10 @ To the married I give charge, not I but the Lord, that the wife should not separate from her husband

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:7:17 @ 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:7:22 @ 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:7:25 @ 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:7:32 @ 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:7:34 @ 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:7:35 @ I say this for your own benefit, not to lay any restraint upon you, but to promote good order and to secure your undivided devotion to the Lord.

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:8:1 @ Now concerning food offered to idols: we know that "all of us possess knowledge." "Knowledge" puffs up, but love builds up.

rsv@1Corinthians:8:3 @ But if one loves God, one is known by him.

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:8:6 @ yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist.

rsv@1Corinthians:8:9 @ Only take care lest this liberty of yours somehow become a stumbling block to the weak.

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

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:9:7 @ 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:9:13 @ Do you not know that those who are employed in the temple service get their food from the temple, and those who serve at the altar share in the sacrificial offerings?

rsv@1Corinthians:9:14 @ In the same way, the Lord commanded that those who proclaim the gospel should get their living by the gospel.

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:10:2 @ and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in 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:10:9 @ We must not put the Lord to the test, as some of them did and were destroyed by serpents;

rsv@1Corinthians:10:14 @ Therefore, my beloved, shun the worship of idols.

rsv@1Corinthians:10:16 @ The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ?

rsv@1Corinthians:10:21 @ You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You cannot partake of the table of the Lord and the table of demons.

rsv@1Corinthians:10:22 @ Shall we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he?

rsv@1Corinthians:10:26 @ For "the earth is the Lord's, and everything in it."

rsv@1Corinthians:10:31 @ So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

rsv@1Corinthians:11:7 @ For a man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man.

rsv@1Corinthians:11:11 @ (Nevertheless, in the Lord woman is not independent of man nor man of woman;

rsv@1Corinthians:11:14 @ Does not nature itself teach you that for a man to wear long hair is degrading to him,

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:11:17 @ But in the following instructions I do not commend you, because when you come together it is not for the better but for the worse.

rsv@1Corinthians:11:20 @ When you meet together, it is not the Lord's supper that you eat.

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:11:27 @ Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of profaning the body and blood of the Lord.

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:12:3 @ Therefore I want you to understand that no one speaking by the Spirit of God ever says "Jesus be cursed!" and no one can say "Jesus is Lord" except by the Holy Spirit.

rsv@1Corinthians:12:5 @ and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord;

rsv@1Corinthians:12:15 @ If the foot should say, "Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body," that would not make it any less a part of the body.

rsv@1Corinthians:12:16 @ And if the ear should say, "Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body," that would not make it any less a part of the body.

rsv@1Corinthians:13:1 @ If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.

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:13:3 @ If I give away all I have, and if I deliver my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.

rsv@1Corinthians:13:4 @ Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful;

rsv@1Corinthians:13:5 @ it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;

rsv@1Corinthians:13:7 @ Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

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:13:13 @ So faith, hope, love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

rsv@1Corinthians:14:1 @ Make love your aim, and earnestly desire the spiritual gifts, especially that you may prophesy.

rsv@1Corinthians:14:21 @ In the law it is written, "By men of strange tongues and by the lips of foreigners will I speak to this people, and even then they will not listen to me, says the Lord."

rsv@1Corinthians:14:25 @ the secrets of his heart are disclosed; and so, falling on his face, he will worship God and declare that God is really among you.

rsv@1Corinthians:14:37 @ If any one thinks that he is a prophet, or spiritual, he should acknowledge that what I am writing to you is a command of the Lord.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:23 @ But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:31 @ I protest, brethren, by my pride in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die every day!

rsv@1Corinthians:15:40 @ There are celestial bodies and there are terrestrial bodies; but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:41 @ There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for star differs from star in glory.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:43 @ It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:50 @ I tell you this, brethren: flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.

rsv@1Corinthians:15:51 @ Lo! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all 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:15:57 @ But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

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:16:7 @ 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:16:10 @ 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:16:14 @ Let all that you do be done in love.

rsv@1Corinthians:16:16 @ I urge you to be subject to such men and to every fellow worker and laborer.

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

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

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

rsv@2Corinthians:1:20 @ For all the promises of God find their Yes in him. That is why we utter the Amen through him, to the glory of God.

rsv@2Corinthians:1:24 @ Not that we lord it over your faith; we work with you for your joy, for you stand firm in your faith.

rsv@2Corinthians:2:4 @ For I wrote you out of much affliction and anguish of heart and with many tears, not to cause you pain but to let you know the abundant love that I have for you.

rsv@2Corinthians:2:8 @ So I beg you to reaffirm your love for him.

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: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:3:16 @ but when a man turns to the Lord the veil is removed.

rsv@2Corinthians:3:17 @ Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.

rsv@2Corinthians:3:18 @ And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being changed into his likeness from one degree of glory to another; for this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.

rsv@2Corinthians:4:1 @ Therefore, having this ministry by the mercy of God, we do not lose heart.

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:4:14 @ knowing that he who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus and bring us with you into his presence.

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:4:17 @ For this slight momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison,

rsv@2Corinthians:4:18 @ because we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen; for the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.

rsv@2Corinthians:5:2 @ Here indeed we groan, and long to put on our heavenly dwelling,

rsv@2Corinthians:5:4 @ For while we are still in this tent, we sigh with anxiety; not that we would be unclothed, but that we would be further clothed, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.

rsv@2Corinthians:5:6 @ So we are always of good courage; we know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord,

rsv@2Corinthians:5:8 @ We are of good courage, and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord.

rsv@2Corinthians:5:11 @ Therefore, knowing the fear of the Lord, we persuade men; but what we are is known to God, and I hope it is known also to your conscience.

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:5:16 @ From now on, therefore, we regard no one from a human point of view; even though we once regarded Christ from a human point of view, we regard him thus no longer.

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: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:8:2 @ for in a severe test of affliction, their abundance of joy and their extreme poverty have overflowed in a wealth of liberality on their part.

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:8:7 @ 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: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:9:13 @ Under the test of this service, you will glorify God by your obedience in acknowledging the gospel of Christ, and by the generosity of your contribution for them and for all others;

rsv@2Corinthians:9:14 @ while they long for you and pray for you, because of the surpassing grace of God in you.

rsv@2Corinthians:10:7 @ 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@Ephesians:4:2 @ with all lowliness and meekness, with patience, forbearing one another in love,

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:4:5 @ one Lord, one faith, one baptism,

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:4:14 @ so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the cunning of men, by their craftiness in deceitful wiles.

rsv@Ephesians:4:15 @ Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ,

rsv@Ephesians:4:16 @ from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by every joint with which it is supplied, when each part is working properly, makes bodily growth and upbuilds itself in love.

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:4:19 @ they have become callous and have given themselves up to licentiousness, greedy to practice every kind of uncleanness.

rsv@Ephesians:4:22 @ Put off your old nature which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful lusts,

rsv@Ephesians:4:28 @ Let the thief no longer steal, but rather let him labor, doing honest work with his hands, so that he may be able to give to those in need.

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:5:8 @ 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:5:17 @ Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.

rsv@Ephesians:5:19 @ addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with all your heart,

rsv@Ephesians:5:20 @ always and for everything giving thanks in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God the Father.

rsv@Ephesians:5:22 @ Wives, be subject to your husbands, as to the Lord.

rsv@Ephesians:5:25 @ Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her,

rsv@Ephesians:5:28 @ Even so husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.

rsv@Ephesians:5:33 @ however, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.

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

rsv@Ephesians:6:3 @ "that it may be well with you and that you may live long on the earth."

rsv@Ephesians:6:4 @ Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

rsv@Ephesians:6:7 @ rendering service with a good will as to the Lord and not to men,

rsv@Ephesians:6:8 @ knowing that whatever good any one does, he will receive the same again from the Lord, whether he is a slave or free.

rsv@Ephesians:6:10 @ Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might.

rsv@Ephesians:6:12 @ For we are not contending against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

rsv@Ephesians:6:14 @ Stand therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,

rsv@Ephesians:6:21 @ Now that you also may know how I am and what I am doing, Tych'icus the beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord will tell you everything.

rsv@Ephesians:6:23 @ Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

rsv@Ephesians:6:24 @ Grace be with all who love our Lord Jesus Christ with love undying.

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

rsv@Philippians:1:9 @ And it is my prayer that your love may abound more and more, with knowledge and all discernment,

rsv@Philippians:1:11 @ filled with the fruits of righteousness which come through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

rsv@Philippians:1:14 @ and most of the brethren have been made confident in the Lord because of my imprisonment, and are much more bold to speak the word of God without fear.

rsv@Philippians:1:16 @ The latter do it out of love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel;

rsv@Philippians:1:26 @ so that in me you may have ample cause to glory in Christ Jesus, because of my coming to you again.

rsv@Philippians:2:1 @ So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any incentive of love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy,

rsv@Philippians:2:2 @ complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind.

rsv@Philippians:2:4 @ Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.

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

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:2:19 @ I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, so that I may be cheered by news of you.

rsv@Philippians:2:21 @ They all look after their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ.

rsv@Philippians:2:24 @ and I trust in the Lord that shortly I myself shall come also.

rsv@Philippians:2:25 @ I have thought it necessary to send to you Epaphrodi'tus my brother and fellow worker and fellow soldier, and your messenger and minister to my need,

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:2:29 @ So receive him in the Lord with all joy; and honor such men,

rsv@Philippians:3:1 @ Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you is not irksome to me, and is safe for you.

rsv@Philippians:3:2 @ Look out for the dogs, look out for the evil-workers, look out for those who mutilate the flesh.

rsv@Philippians:3:3 @ For we are the true circumcision, who worship God in spirit, and glory in Christ Jesus, and put no confidence in the flesh.

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:3:19 @ Their end is destruction, their god is the belly, and they glory in their shame, with minds set on earthly things.

rsv@Philippians:3:20 @ But our commonwealth is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,

rsv@Philippians:3:21 @ who will change our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power which enables him even to subject all things to himself.

rsv@Philippians:4:1 @ Therefore, my brethren, whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, stand firm thus in the Lord, my beloved.

rsv@Philippians:4:2 @ I entreat Eu-o'dia and I entreat Syn'tyche to agree in the Lord.

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:4:4 @ Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice.

rsv@Philippians:4:5 @ Let all men know your forbearance. The Lord is at hand.

rsv@Philippians:4:8 @ Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.

rsv@Philippians:4:10 @ I rejoice in the Lord greatly that now at length you have revived your concern for me; you were indeed concerned for me, but you had no opportunity.

rsv@Philippians:4:16 @ for even in Thessaloni'ca you sent me help once and again.

rsv@Philippians:4:19 @ And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

rsv@Philippians:4:20 @ To our God and Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

rsv@Philippians:4:23 @ The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.

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

rsv@Colossians:1:2 @ To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ at Colos'sae: Grace to you and peace from God our Father.

rsv@Colossians:1:3 @ We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you,

rsv@Colossians:1:4 @ because we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love which you have for all the saints,

rsv@Colossians:1:5 @ because of the hope laid up for you in heaven. Of this you have heard before in the word of the truth, the gospel

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:1:11 @ May you be strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy,

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:1:14 @ in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

rsv@Colossians:1:15 @ He is the image of the invisible God, the first-born of all creation;

rsv@Colossians:1:16 @ for in him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or authorities--all things were created through him and for him.

rsv@Colossians:1:17 @ He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.

rsv@Colossians:1:18 @ He is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning, the first-born from the dead, that in everything he might be pre-eminent.

rsv@Colossians:1:19 @ For in him all the fulness of God was pleased to dwell,

rsv@Colossians:1:20 @ and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross.

rsv@Colossians:1:21 @ And you, who once were estranged and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds,

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:1:24 @ Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I complete what is lacking in Christ's afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the church,

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:1:26 @ the mystery hidden for ages and generations but now made manifest to his saints.

rsv@Colossians:1:27 @ To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

rsv@Colossians:1:28 @ Him we proclaim, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man mature in Christ.

rsv@Colossians:1:29 @ For this I toil, striving with all the energy which he mightily inspires within me.

rsv@Colossians:2:1 @ For I want you to know how greatly I strive for you, and for those at La-odice'a, and for all who have not seen my face,

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:2:4 @ I say this in order that no one may delude you with beguiling speech.

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

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:2:8 @ See to it that no one makes a prey of you by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the universe, and not according to Christ.

rsv@Colossians:2:9 @ For in him the whole fulness of deity dwells bodily,

rsv@Colossians:2:10 @ and you have come to fulness of life in him, who is the head of all rule and authority.

rsv@Colossians:2:11 @ In him also you were circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of flesh in the circumcision of Christ;

rsv@Colossians:2:12 @ and you were buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead.

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:2:15 @ He disarmed the principalities and powers and made a public example of them, triumphing over them in him.

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:2:17 @ These are only a shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ.

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:3:1 @ If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.

rsv@Colossians:3:2 @ Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.

rsv@Colossians:3:3 @ For you have died, and your life is hid with Christ in God.

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

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:3:6 @ On account of these the wrath of God is coming.

rsv@Colossians:3:7 @ In these you once walked, when you lived in them.

rsv@Colossians:3:8 @ But now put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and foul talk from your mouth.

rsv@Colossians:3:9 @ Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old nature with its practices

rsv@Colossians:3:10 @ and have put on the new nature, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator.

rsv@Colossians:3:11 @ Here there cannot be Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scyth'ian, slave, free man, but Christ is all, and in all.

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:3:14 @ And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.

rsv@Colossians:3:15 @ And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in the one body. And be thankful.

rsv@Colossians:3:16 @ Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teach and admonish one another in all wisdom, and sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs with thankfulness in your hearts to God.

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

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

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

rsv@Colossians:3:20 @ Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord.

rsv@Colossians:3:21 @ Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged.

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:4:3 @ and pray for us also, that God may open to us a door for the word, to declare the mystery of Christ, on account of which I am in prison,

rsv@Colossians:4:4 @ that I may make it clear, as I ought to speak.

rsv@Colossians:4:5 @ Conduct yourselves wisely toward outsiders, making the most of the time.

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:4:7 @ Tych'icus will tell you all about my affairs; he is a beloved brother and faithful minister and fellow servant in the Lord.

rsv@Colossians:4:8 @ I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know how we are and that he may encourage your hearts,

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:4:11 @ and Jesus who is called Justus. These are the only men of the circumcision among my fellow workers for the kingdom of God, and they have been a comfort to me.

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:4:15 @ Give my greetings to the brethren at La-odice'a, and to Nympha and the church in her house.

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@Colossians:4:17 @ And say to Archip'pus, "See that you fulfil the ministry which you have received in the Lord."

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

rsv@1Thessalonians:1:1 @ Paul, Silva'nus, and Timothy, To the church of the Thessalo'nians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace.

rsv@1Thessalonians:1:2 @ We give thanks to God always for you all, constantly mentioning you in our prayers,

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

rsv@1Thessalonians:1:6 @ And you became imitators of us and of the Lord, for you received the word in much affliction, with joy inspired by the Holy Spirit;

rsv@1Thessalonians:1:7 @ so that you became an example to all the believers in Macedo'nia and in Acha'ia.

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:1:9 @ For they themselves report concerning us what a welcome we had among you, and how you turned to God from idols, to serve a living and true God,

rsv@1Thessalonians:1:10 @ and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, Jesus who delivers us from the wrath to come.

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:2:3 @ For our appeal does not spring from error or uncleanness, nor is it made with guile;

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:2:7 @ But we were gentle among you, like a nurse taking care of her children.

rsv@1Thessalonians:2:8 @ So, being affectionately desirous of you, we were ready to share with you not only the gospel of God but also our own selves, because you had become very dear to us.

rsv@1Thessalonians:2:9 @ For you remember our labor and toil, brethren; we worked night and day, that we might not burden any of you, while we preached to you the gospel of God.

rsv@1Thessalonians:2:10 @ You are witnesses, and God also, how holy and righteous and blameless was our behavior to you believers;

rsv@1Thessalonians:2:11 @ for you know how, like a father with his children, we exhorted each one of you and encouraged you and charged you

rsv@1Thessalonians:2:12 @ to lead a life worthy of God, who calls you into his own kingdom and glory.

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:2:17 @ But since we were bereft of you, brethren, for a short time, in person not in heart, we endeavored the more eagerly and with great desire to see you face to face;

rsv@1Thessalonians:2:18 @ because we wanted to come to you--I, Paul, again and again--but Satan hindered us.

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:2:20 @ For you are our glory and joy.

rsv@1Thessalonians:3:1 @ Therefore when we could bear it no longer, we were willing to be left behind at Athens alone,

rsv@1Thessalonians:3:2 @ and we sent Timothy, our brother and God's servant in the gospel of Christ, to establish you in your faith and to exhort you,

rsv@1Thessalonians:3:3 @ that no one be moved by these afflictions. You yourselves know that this is to be our lot.

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:3:9 @ For what thanksgiving can we render to God for you, for all the joy which we feel for your sake before our God,

rsv@1Thessalonians:3:10 @ praying earnestly night and day that we may see you face to face and supply what is lacking in your faith?

rsv@1Thessalonians:3:11 @ Now may our God and Father himself, and our Lord Jesus, direct our way to you;

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:3:13 @ so that he may establish your hearts unblamable in holiness before our God and Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.

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:4:2 @ For you know what instructions we gave you through the Lord Jesus.

rsv@1Thessalonians:4:3 @ For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from unchastity;

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

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

rsv@1Thessalonians:4:9 @ But concerning love of the brethren you have no need to have any one write to you, for you yourselves have been taught by God to love one another;

rsv@1Thessalonians:4:10 @ and indeed you do love all the brethren throughout Macedo'nia. But we exhort you, brethren, to do so more and more,

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:4:12 @ so that you may command the respect of outsiders, and be dependent on nobody.

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:4:16 @ For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the archangel's call, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first;

rsv@1Thessalonians:4:17 @ then we who are alive, who are left, shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air; and so we shall always be with the Lord.

rsv@1Thessalonians:4:18 @ Therefore comfort one another with these words.

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

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:5:4 @ But you are not in darkness, brethren, for that day to surprise you like a thief.

rsv@1Thessalonians:5:5 @ For you are all sons of light and sons of the day; we are not of the night or of darkness.

rsv@1Thessalonians:5:6 @ So then let us not sleep, as others do, but let us keep awake and be sober.

rsv@1Thessalonians:5:7 @ For those who sleep sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night.

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:5:10 @ who died for us so that whether we wake or sleep we might live with him.

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

rsv@1Thessalonians:5:12 @ But we beseech you, brethren, to respect those who labor among you and are over you in the Lord and admonish you,

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

rsv@1Thessalonians:5:14 @ And we exhort you, brethren, admonish the idlers, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with them all.

rsv@1Thessalonians:5:15 @ See that none of you repays evil for evil, but always seek to do good to one another and to all.

rsv@1Thessalonians:5:16 @ Rejoice always,

rsv@1Thessalonians:5:17 @ pray constantly,

rsv@1Thessalonians:5:18 @ give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

rsv@1Thessalonians:5:19 @ Do not quench the Spirit,

rsv@1Thessalonians:5:20 @ do not despise prophesying,

rsv@1Thessalonians:5:21 @ but test everything; hold fast what is good,

rsv@1Thessalonians:5:22 @ abstain from every form of evil.

rsv@1Thessalonians:5:23 @ May the God of peace himself sanctify you wholly; and may your spirit and soul and body be kept sound and blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

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

rsv@1Thessalonians:5:25 @ Brethren, pray for us.

rsv@1Thessalonians:5:26 @ Greet all the brethren with a holy kiss.

rsv@1Thessalonians:5:27 @ I adjure you by the Lord that this letter be read to all the brethren.

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

rsv@2Thessalonians:1:1 @ Paul, Silva'nus, and Timothy, To the church of the Thessalo'nians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:

rsv@2Thessalonians:1:2 @ Grace to you and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

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:1:5 @ This is evidence of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be made worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you are suffering--

rsv@2Thessalonians:1:6 @ since indeed God deems it just to repay with affliction those who afflict you,

rsv@2Thessalonians:1:7 @ and to grant rest with us to you who are afflicted, when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels in flaming fire,

rsv@2Thessalonians:1:8 @ inflicting vengeance upon those who do not know God and upon those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.

rsv@2Thessalonians:1:9 @ They shall suffer the punishment of eternal destruction and exclusion from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might,

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:1:11 @ To this end we always pray for you, that our God may make you worthy of his call, and may fulfil every good resolve and work of faith by his power,

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

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:2:3 @ Let no one deceive you in any way; for that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of perdition,

rsv@2Thessalonians:2:4 @ who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God.

rsv@2Thessalonians:2:5 @ Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you this?

rsv@2Thessalonians:2:6 @ And you know what is restraining him now so that he may be revealed in his time.

rsv@2Thessalonians:2:7 @ For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he who now restrains it will do so until he is out of the way.

rsv@2Thessalonians:2:8 @ And then the lawless one will be revealed, and the Lord Jesus will slay him with the breath of his mouth and destroy him by his appearing and his coming.

rsv@2Thessalonians:2:9 @ The coming of the lawless one by the activity of Satan will be with all power and with pretended signs and wonders,

rsv@2Thessalonians:2:10 @ and with all wicked deception for those who are to perish, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.

rsv@2Thessalonians:2:11 @ Therefore God sends upon them a strong delusion, to make them believe what is false,

rsv@2Thessalonians:2:12 @ so that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

rsv@2Thessalonians:2:13 @ But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God chose you from the beginning to be saved, through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth.

rsv@2Thessalonians:2:14 @ To this he called you through our gospel, so that you may obtain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

rsv@2Thessalonians:2:15 @ So then, brethren, stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught by us, either by word of mouth or by letter.

rsv@2Thessalonians:2:16 @ Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace,

rsv@2Thessalonians:2:17 @ comfort your hearts and establish them in every good work and word.

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:3:2 @ and that we may be delivered from wicked and evil men; for not all have faith.

rsv@2Thessalonians:3:3 @ But the Lord is faithful; he will strengthen you and guard you from evil.

rsv@2Thessalonians:3:4 @ And we have confidence in the Lord about you, that you are doing and will do the things which we command.

rsv@2Thessalonians:3:5 @ May the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God and to the steadfastness of Christ.

rsv@2Thessalonians:3:6 @ Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you keep away from any brother who is living in idleness and not in accord with the tradition that you received from us.

rsv@2Thessalonians:3:7 @ For you yourselves know how you ought to imitate us; we were not idle when we were with you,

rsv@2Thessalonians:3:8 @ we did not eat any one's bread without paying, but with toil and labor we worked night and day, that we might not burden any of you.

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:3:10 @ For even when we were with you, we gave you this command: If any one will not work, let him not eat.

rsv@2Thessalonians:3:11 @ For we hear that some of you are living in idleness, mere busybodies, not doing any work.

rsv@2Thessalonians:3:12 @ Now such persons we command and exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ to do their work in quietness and to earn their own living.

rsv@2Thessalonians:3:13 @ Brethren, do not be weary in well-doing.

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

rsv@2Thessalonians:3:17 @ I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand. This is the mark in every letter of mine; it is the way I write.

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

rsv@1Timothy:1:11 @ in accordance with the glorious gospel of the blessed God with which I have been entrusted.

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:1:14 @ and the grace of our Lord overflowed for me with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.

rsv@1Timothy:1:17 @ To the King of ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen.

rsv@1Timothy:2:15 @ Yet woman will be saved through bearing children, if she continues in faith and love and holiness, with modesty.

rsv@1Timothy:3:3 @ no drunkard, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, and no lover of money.

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:4:6 @ If you put these instructions before the brethren, you will be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished on the words of the faith and of the good doctrine which you have followed.

rsv@1Timothy:4:12 @ Let no one despise your youth, but set the believers an example in speech and conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.

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

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:6:3 @ If any one teaches otherwise and does not agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching which accords with godliness,

rsv@1Timothy:6:8 @ but if we have food and clothing, with these we shall be content.

rsv@1Timothy:6:10 @ For the love of money is the root of all evils; it is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced their hearts with many pangs.

rsv@1Timothy:6:11 @ But as for you, man of God, shun all this; aim at righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, gentleness.

rsv@1Timothy:6:14 @ I charge you to keep the commandment unstained and free from reproach until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ;

rsv@1Timothy:6:15 @ and this will be made manifest at the proper time by the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords,

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

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:1:5 @ I am reminded of your sincere faith, a faith that dwelt first in your grandmother Lo'is and your mother Eunice and now, I am sure, dwells in you.

rsv@2Timothy:1:7 @ for God did not give us a spirit of timidity but a spirit of power and love and self-control.

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:1:13 @ Follow the pattern of the sound words which you have heard from me, in the faith and love which are in Christ Jesus;

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:1:18 @ may the Lord grant him to find mercy from the Lord on that Day--and you well know all the service he rendered at Ephesus.

rsv@2Timothy:2:7 @ Think over what I say, for the Lord will grant you understanding in everything.

rsv@2Timothy:2:10 @ Therefore I endure everything for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain salvation in Christ Jesus with its eternal glory.

rsv@2Timothy:2:14 @ Remind them of this, and charge them before the Lord to avoid disputing about words, which does no good, but only ruins the hearers.

rsv@2Timothy:2:19 @ But God's firm foundation stands, bearing this seal: "The Lord knows those who are his," and, "Let every one who names the name of the Lord depart from iniquity."

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:2:24 @ And the Lord's servant must not be quarrelsome but kindly to every one, an apt teacher, forbearing,

rsv@Philemon:1:5 @ because I hear of your love and of the faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus and all the saints,

rsv@Philemon:1:7 @ For I have derived much joy and comfort from your love, my brother, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you.

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

rsv@Philemon:1:20 @ Yes, brother, I want some benefit from you in the Lord. Refresh my heart in Christ.

rsv@Philemon:1:23 @ Ep'aphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, sends greetings to you,

rsv@Philemon:1:24 @ and so do Mark, Aristar'chus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers.

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

rsv@Hebrews:1:3 @ He reflects the glory of God and bears the very stamp of his nature, upholding the universe by his word of power. When he had made purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

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:1:10 @ And, "Thou, Lord, didst found the earth in the beginning, and the heavens are the work of thy hands;

rsv@Hebrews:2:1 @ Therefore we must pay the closer attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away from it.

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:2:7 @ Thou didst make him for a little while lower than the angels, thou hast crowned him with glory and honor,

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:2:14 @ 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:2:15 @ and deliver all those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong bondage.

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:3:13 @ 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:4:7 @ again he sets a certain day, "Today," saying through David so long afterward, in the words already quoted, "Today, when you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts."

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: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: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:7:13 @ 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:7:21 @ 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:8:2 @ a minister in the sanctuary and the true tent which is set up not by man but by the Lord.

rsv@Hebrews:8:8 @ For he finds fault with them when he says: "The days will come, says the Lord, when I will establish a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah;

rsv@Hebrews:8:9 @ not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; for they did not continue in my covenant, and so I paid no heed to them, says the Lord.

rsv@Hebrews:8:10 @ This is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put my laws into their minds, and write them on their hearts, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

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:9:5 @ above it were the cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat. Of these things we cannot now speak in detail.

rsv@Hebrews:9:7 @ but into the second only the high priest goes, and he but once a year, and not without taking blood which he offers for himself and for the errors of the people.

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:9:12 @ he entered once for all into the Holy Place, taking not the blood of goats and calves but his own blood, thus securing an eternal redemption.

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:9:14 @ how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify your conscience from dead works to serve the living God.

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:9:19 @ For when every commandment of the law had been declared by Moses to all the people, he took the blood of calves and goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people,

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

rsv@Hebrews:9:21 @ And in the same way he sprinkled with the blood both the tent and all the vessels used in worship.

rsv@Hebrews:9:22 @ Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins.

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: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:10:4 @ For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins.

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:10:9 @ then he added, "Lo, I have come to do thy will." He abolishes the first in order to establish the second.

rsv@Hebrews:10:16 @ "This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord: I will put my laws on their hearts, and write them on their minds,"

rsv@Hebrews:10:18 @ Where there is forgiveness of these, there is no longer any offering for sin.

rsv@Hebrews:10:19 @ Therefore, brethren, since we have confidence to enter the sanctuary by the blood of Jesus,

rsv@Hebrews:10:24 @ and let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works,

rsv@Hebrews:10:26 @ For if we sin deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,

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:10:30 @ For we know him who said, "Vengeance is mine, I will repay." And again, "The Lord will judge his people."

rsv@Hebrews:11:10 @ For he looked forward to the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

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:11:28 @ By faith he kept the Passover and sprinkled the blood, so that the Destroyer of the first-born might not touch them.

rsv@Hebrews:11:31 @ By faith Rahab the harlot did not perish with those who were disobedient, because she had given friendly welcome to the spies.

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:12:4 @ In your struggle against sin you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood.

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:12:14 @ Strive for peace with all men, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord.

rsv@Hebrews:12:24 @ and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks more graciously than the blood of Abel.

rsv@Hebrews:13:1 @ Let brotherly love continue.

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:13:6 @ Hence we can confidently say, "The Lord is my helper, I will not be afraid; what can man do to me?"

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:13:12 @ So Jesus also suffered outside the gate in order to sanctify the people through his own blood.

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@James:1:1 @ James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes in the Dispersion: Greeting.

rsv@James:1:7 @ For that person must not suppose that a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways, will receive anything from the Lord.

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:1:16 @ Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren.

rsv@James:1:19 @ Know this, my beloved brethren. Let every man be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger,

rsv@James:1:25 @ But he who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer that forgets but a doer that acts, he shall be blessed in his doing.

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:2:8 @ If you really fulfil the royal law, according to the scripture, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself," you do well.

rsv@James:2:20 @ Do you want to be shown, you shallow man, that faith apart from works is barren?

rsv@James:2:22 @ You see that faith was active along with his works, and faith was completed by works,

rsv@James:2:24 @ You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone.

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:3:4 @ Look at the ships also; though they are so great and are driven by strong winds, they are guided by a very small rudder wherever the will of the pilot directs.

rsv@James:3:9 @ With it we bless the Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who are made in the likeness of God.

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:3:16 @ For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice.

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

rsv@James:4:15 @ Instead you ought to say, "If the Lord wills, we shall live and we shall do this or that."

rsv@James:5:4 @ Behold, the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, cry out; and the cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts.

rsv@James:5:7 @ Be patient, therefore, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient over it until it receives the early and the late rain.

rsv@James:5:8 @ You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.

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:5:14 @ Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord;

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@1Peter:1:7 @ so that the genuineness of your faith, more precious than gold which though perishable is tested by fire, may redound to praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

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:1:19 @ but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot.

rsv@1Peter:1:21 @ Through him you have confidence in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.

rsv@1Peter:1:22 @ Having purified your souls by your obedience to the truth for a sincere love of the brethren, love one another earnestly from the heart.

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:1:25 @ but the word of the Lord abides for ever." That word is the good news which was preached to you.

rsv@1Peter:2:2 @ Like newborn babes, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up to salvation;

rsv@1Peter:2:3 @ for you have tasted the kindness of the Lord.

rsv@1Peter:2:9 @ But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's own people, that you may declare the wonderful deeds of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

rsv@1Peter:2:11 @ Beloved, I beseech you as aliens and exiles to abstain from the passions of the flesh that wage war against your soul.

rsv@1Peter:2:12 @ Maintain good conduct among the Gentiles, so that in case they speak against you as wrongdoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day of visitation.

rsv@1Peter:2:13 @ Be subject for the Lord's sake to every human institution, whether it be to the emperor as supreme,

rsv@1Peter:2:17 @ Honor all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the emperor.

rsv@1Peter:2:21 @ For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps.

rsv@1Peter:3:3 @ Let not yours be the outward adorning with braiding of hair, decoration of gold, and wearing of fine clothing,

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:3:8 @ Finally, all of you, have unity of spirit, sympathy, love of the brethren, a tender heart and a humble mind.

rsv@1Peter:3:10 @ For "He that would love life and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking guile;

rsv@1Peter:3:12 @ For the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are open to their prayer. But the face of the Lord is against those that do evil."

rsv@1Peter:3:13 @ Now who is there to harm you if you are zealous for what is right?

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: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:4:8 @ Above all hold unfailing your love for one another, since love covers a multitude of sins.

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

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: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:5:2 @ Tend the flock of God that is your charge, not by constraint but willingly, not for shameful gain but eagerly,

rsv@1Peter:5:3 @ not as domineering over those in your charge but being examples to the flock.

rsv@1Peter:5:4 @ And when the chief Shepherd is manifested you will obtain the unfading crown of glory.

rsv@1Peter:5:5 @ Likewise you that are younger be subject to the elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for "God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble."

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:5:13 @ She who is at Babylon, who is likewise chosen, sends you greetings; and so does my son Mark.

rsv@1Peter:5:14 @ Greet one another with the kiss of love. Peace to all of you that are in Christ.

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

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:1:7 @ and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love.

rsv@2Peter:1:8 @ For if these things are yours and abound, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

rsv@2Peter:1:10 @ Therefore, brethren, be the more zealous to confirm your call and election, for if you do this you will never fall;

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

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:1:16 @ For we did not follow cleverly devised myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.

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:2:2 @ And many will follow their licentiousness, and because of them the way of truth will be reviled.

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:2:5 @ if he did not spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah, a herald of righteousness, with seven other persons, when he brought a flood upon the world of the ungodly;

rsv@2Peter:2:7 @ and if he rescued righteous Lot, greatly distressed by the licentiousness of the wicked

rsv@2Peter:2:9 @ then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trial, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment until the day of judgment,

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:2:17 @ 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:3:1 @ This is now the second letter that I have written to you, beloved, and in both of them I have aroused your sincere mind by way of reminder;

rsv@2Peter:3:2 @ that you should remember the predictions of the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior through your apostles.

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:3:5 @ They deliberately ignore this fact, that by the word of God heavens existed long ago, and an earth formed out of water and by means of water,

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:3:14 @ Therefore, beloved, since you wait for these, be zealous to be found by him without spot or blemish, and at peace.

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:3:17 @ You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, beware lest you be carried away with the error of lawless men and lose your own stability.

rsv@2Peter:3:18 @ But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.

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:1:3 @ that which we have seen and heard we proclaim also to you, so that you may have fellowship with us; and our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ.

rsv@1John:1:6 @ If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not live according to the truth;

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:2:5 @ but whoever keeps his word, in him truly love for God is perfected. By this we may be sure that we are in him:

rsv@1John:2:7 @ Beloved, I am writing you no new commandment, but an old commandment which you had from the beginning; the old commandment is the word which you have heard.

rsv@1John:2:10 @ He who loves his brother abides in the light, and in it there is no cause for stumbling.

rsv@1John:2:15 @ Do not love the world or the things in the world. If any one loves the world, love for the Father is not 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:3:10 @ By this it may be seen who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not do right is not of God, nor he who does not love his brother.

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

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:3:16 @ By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us; and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

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:3:18 @ Little children, let us not love in word or speech but in deed and in truth.

rsv@1John:3:21 @ Beloved, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God;

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:4:1 @ Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are of God; for many false prophets have gone out into the world.

rsv@1John:4:7 @ Beloved, let us love one another; for love is of God, and he who loves is born of God and knows God.

rsv@1John:4:8 @ He who does not love does not know God; for God is love.

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:4:10 @ In this is love, not that we loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the expiation for our sins.

rsv@1John:4:11 @ Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

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:4:16 @ 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:4:19 @ We love, because he first loved us.

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:4:21 @ And this commandment we have from him, that he who loves God should love his brother also.

rsv@1John:5:1 @ Every one who believes that Jesus is the Christ is a child of God, and every one who loves the parent loves the child.

rsv@1John:5:2 @ By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and obey his commandments.

rsv@1John:5:3 @ For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome.

rsv@1John:5:6 @ This is he who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ, not with the water only but with the water and the blood.

rsv@1John:5:8 @ There are three witnesses, the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree.

rsv@2John:1:1 @ The elder to the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the truth, and not only I but also all who know the truth,

rsv@2John:1:3 @ Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us, from God the Father and from Jesus Christ the Father's Son, in truth and love.

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:1:8 @ Look to yourselves, that you may not lose what you have worked for, but may win a full reward.

rsv@3John:1:1 @ The elder to the beloved Ga'ius, whom I love in the truth.

rsv@3John:1:2 @ Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in health; I know that it is well with your soul.

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:1:4 @ No greater joy can I have than this, to hear that my children follow the truth.

rsv@3John:1:5 @ Beloved, it is a loyal thing you do when you render any service to the brethren, especially to strangers,

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:1:8 @ So we ought to support such men, that we may be fellow workers in the truth.

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@Jude:1:1 @ Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ and brother of James, To those who are called, beloved in God the Father and kept for Jesus Christ:

rsv@Jude:1:2 @ May mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you.

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:1:6 @ And the angels that did not keep their own position but left their proper dwelling have been kept by him in eternal chains in the nether gloom until the judgment of the great day;

rsv@Jude:1:8 @ Yet in like manner these men in their dreamings defile the flesh, reject authority, and revile the glorious ones.

rsv@Jude:1:9 @ But when the archangel Michael, contending with the devil, disputed about the body of Moses, he did not presume to pronounce a reviling judgment upon him, but said, "The Lord rebuke you."

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:1:17 @ But you must remember, beloved, the predictions of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;

rsv@Jude:1:18 @ they said to you, "In the last time there will be scoffers, following their own ungodly passions."

rsv@Jude:1:20 @ But you, beloved, build yourselves up on your most holy faith; pray in the Holy Spirit;

rsv@Jude:1:21 @ keep yourselves in the love of God; wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

rsv@Jude:1:24 @ Now to him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you without blemish before the presence of his glory with rejoicing,

rsv@Jude:1:25 @ to the only God, our Savior through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and now and for ever. Amen.

rsv@Revelation:1:6 @ and made us a kingdom, priests to his God and Father, to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

rsv@Revelation:1:7 @ Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, every one who pierced him; and all tribes of the earth will wail on account of him. Even so. Amen.

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:1:10 @ I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet

rsv@Revelation:1:13 @ 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:2:4 @ But I have this against you, that you have abandoned the love you had at first.

rsv@Revelation:2:14 @ But I have a few things against you: you have some there who hold the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, that they might eat food sacrificed to idols and practice immorality.

rsv@Revelation:2:19 @ "`I know your works, your love and faith and service and patient endurance, and that your latter works exceed the first.

rsv@Revelation:3:5 @ He who conquers shall be clad thus in white garments, and I will not blot his name out of the book of life; I will confess his name before my Father and before his angels.

rsv@Revelation:3:9 @ Behold, I will make those of the synagogue of Satan who say that they are Jews and are not, but lie--behold, I will make them come and bow down before your feet, and learn that I have loved you.

rsv@Revelation:3:18 @ Therefore I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, that you may be rich, and white garments to clothe you and to keep the shame of your nakedness from being seen, and salve to anoint your eyes, that you may see.

rsv@Revelation:3:19 @ Those whom I love, I reprove and chasten; so be zealous and repent.

rsv@Revelation:4:1 @ After this I looked, and lo, in heaven an open door! And the first voice, which I had heard speaking to me like a trumpet, said, "Come up hither, and I will show you what must take place after this."

rsv@Revelation:4:2 @ At once I was in the Spirit, and lo, a throne stood in heaven, with one seated on the throne!

rsv@Revelation:4:3 @ And he who sat there appeared like jasper and carnelian, and round the throne was a rainbow that looked like an emerald.

rsv@Revelation:4:8 @ And the four living creatures, each of them with six wings, are full of eyes all round and within, and day and night they never cease to sing, "Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!"

rsv@Revelation:4:9 @ And whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to him who is seated on the throne, who lives for ever and ever,

rsv@Revelation:4:11 @ "Worthy art thou, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for thou didst create all things, and by thy will they existed and were created."

rsv@Revelation:5:2 @ and I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, "Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals?"

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:5:5 @ Then one of the elders said to me, "Weep not; lo, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has conquered, so that he can open the scroll and its seven seals."

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:5:11 @ Then I looked, and I heard around the throne and the living creatures and the elders the voice of many angels, numbering myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands,

rsv@Revelation:5:12 @ saying with a loud voice, "Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing!"

rsv@Revelation:5:13 @ And I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all therein, saying, "To him who sits upon the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor and glory and might for ever and ever!"

rsv@Revelation:6:8 @ And I saw, and behold, a pale horse, and its rider's name was Death, and Hades followed him; and they were given power over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword and with famine and with pestilence and by wild beasts of the earth.

rsv@Revelation:6:10 @ they cried out with a loud voice, "O Sovereign Lord, holy and true, how long before thou wilt judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell upon the earth?"

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:7:1 @ After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth, that no wind might blow on earth or sea or against any tree.

rsv@Revelation:7:2 @ Then I saw another angel ascend from the rising of the sun, with the seal of the living God, and he called with a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm earth and sea,

rsv@Revelation:7:9 @ After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no man could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands,

rsv@Revelation:7:10 @ and crying out with a loud voice, "Salvation belongs to our God who sits upon the throne, and to the Lamb!"

rsv@Revelation:7:12 @ saying, "Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God for ever and ever! Amen."

rsv@Revelation:7:13 @ Then one of the elders addressed me, saying, "Who are these, clothed in white robes, and whence have they come?"

rsv@Revelation:7:14 @ I said to him, "Sir, you know." And he said to me, "These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

rsv@Revelation:8:6 @ Now the seven angels who had the seven trumpets made ready to blow them.

rsv@Revelation:8:7 @ The first angel blew his trumpet, and there followed hail and fire, mixed with blood, which fell on the earth; and a third of the earth was burnt up, and a third of the trees were burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.

rsv@Revelation:8:9 @ and a third of the sea became blood, a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.

rsv@Revelation:8:13 @ Then I looked, and I heard an eagle crying with a loud voice, as it flew in midheaven, "Woe, woe, woe to those who dwell on the earth, at the blasts of the other trumpets which the three angels are about to blow!"

rsv@Revelation:9:3 @ Then from the smoke came locusts on the earth, and they were given power like the power of scorpions of the earth;

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:9:6 @ And in those days men will seek death and will not find it; they will long to die, and death will fly from them.

rsv@Revelation:9:7 @ In appearance the locusts were like horses arrayed for battle; on their heads were what looked like crowns of gold; their faces were like human faces,

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: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:10:3 @ and called out with a loud voice, like a lion roaring; when he called out, the seven thunders sounded.

rsv@Revelation:11:3 @ And I will grant my two witnesses power to prophesy for one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth."

rsv@Revelation:11:4 @ These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands which stand before the Lord of the earth.

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:11:8 @ 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:11:12 @ Then they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, "Come up hither!" And in the sight of their foes they went up to heaven in a cloud.

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:11:15 @ 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:12:1 @ And a great portent appeared in heaven, a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars;

rsv@Revelation:12:8 @ but they were defeated and there was no longer any place for them in heaven.

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:12:11 @ And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death.

rsv@Revelation:12:15 @ The serpent poured water like a river out of his mouth after the woman, to sweep her away with the flood.

rsv@Revelation:12:16 @ But the earth came to the help of the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed the river which the dragon had poured from his mouth.

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:13:5 @ 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:13:7 @ 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:13:14 @ 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:14:1 @ Then I looked, and lo, on Mount Zion stood the Lamb, and with him a hundred and forty-four thousand who had his name and his Father's name written on their foreheads.

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:14:7 @ 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:14:13 @ And I heard a voice from heaven saying, "Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord henceforth." "Blessed indeed," says the Spirit, "that they may rest from their labors, for their deeds follow them!"

rsv@Revelation:14:14 @ Then I looked, and lo, a white cloud, and seated on the cloud one like a son of man, with a golden crown on his head, and a sharp sickle in his hand.

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:15:3 @ And they sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, "Great and wonderful are thy deeds, O Lord God the Almighty! Just and true are thy ways, O King of the ages!

rsv@Revelation:15:4 @ Who shall not fear and glorify thy name, O Lord? For thou alone art holy. All nations shall come and worship thee, for thy judgments have been revealed."

rsv@Revelation:15:5 @ After this I looked, and the temple of the tent of witness in heaven was opened,

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:16:1 @ Then I heard a loud voice from the temple telling the seven angels, "Go and pour out on the earth the seven bowls of the wrath of God."

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:16:4 @ The third angel poured his bowl into the rivers and the fountains of water, and they became blood.

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:16:7 @ And I heard the altar cry, "Yea, Lord God the Almighty, true and just are thy judgments!"

rsv@Revelation:16:8 @ The fourth angel poured his bowl on the sun, and it was allowed to scorch men with fire;

rsv@Revelation:16:9 @ men were scorched by the fierce heat, and they cursed the name of God who had power over these plagues, and they did not repent and give him glory.

rsv@Revelation:16:15 @ ("Lo, I am coming like a thief! Blessed is he who is awake, keeping his garments that he may not go naked and be seen exposed!")

rsv@Revelation:16:17 @ The seventh angel poured his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple, from the throne, saying, "It is done!"

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:17:1 @ Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and said to me, "Come, I will show you the judgment of the great harlot who is seated upon many waters,

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:17:6 @ And I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints and the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. When I saw her I marveled greatly.

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:17:14 @ they will make war on the Lamb, and the Lamb will conquer them, for he is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those with him are called and chosen and faithful."

rsv@Revelation:17:15 @ And he said to me, "The waters that you saw, where the harlot is seated, are peoples and multitudes and nations and tongues.

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: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:18:7 @ 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:18:8 @ so shall her plagues come in a single day, pestilence and mourning and famine, and she shall be burned with fire; for mighty is the Lord God who judges her."

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:18:13 @ cinnamon, spice, incense, myrrh, frankincense, wine, oil, fine flour and wheat, cattle and sheep, horses and chariots, and slaves, that is, human souls.

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:18:15 @ The merchants of these wares, who gained wealth from her, will stand far off, in fear of her torment, weeping and mourning aloud,

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:18:21 @ Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, "So shall Babylon the great city be thrown down with violence, and shall be found no more;

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:19:1 @ After this I heard what seemed to be the loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, crying, "Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God,

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:19:6 @ Then I heard what seemed to be the voice of a great multitude, like the sound of many waters and like the sound of mighty thunderpeals, crying, "Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns.

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:19:10 @ Then I fell down at his feet to worship him, but he said to me, "You must not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brethren who hold the testimony of Jesus. Worship God." For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

rsv@Revelation:19:13 @ He is clad in a robe dipped in blood, and the name by which he is called is The Word of God.

rsv@Revelation:19:14 @ And the armies of heaven, arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, followed him on white horses.

rsv@Revelation:19:17 @ Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, and with a loud voice he called to all the birds that fly in midheaven, "Come, gather for the great supper of God,

rsv@Revelation:20:3 @ and threw him into the pit, and shut it and sealed it over him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years were ended. After that he must be loosed for a little while.

rsv@Revelation:20:7 @ And when the thousand years are ended, Satan will be loosed from his prison

rsv@Revelation:20:9 @ And they marched up over the broad earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city; but fire came down from heaven and consumed them,

rsv@Revelation:21:3 @ and I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Behold, the dwelling of God is with men. He will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself will be with them;

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:21:11 @ having the glory of God, its radiance like a most rare jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal.

rsv@Revelation:21:22 @ And I saw no temple in the city, for its temple is the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb.

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:21:24 @ By its light shall the nations walk; and the kings of the earth shall bring their glory into it,

rsv@Revelation:21:26 @ they shall bring into it the glory and the honor of the nations.

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:22:5 @ And night shall be no more; they need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light, and they shall reign for ever and ever.

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.
