tcent@Matthew:1:18 @ Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way: when his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found to be with child of the Holy Spirit.

tcent@Matthew:1:19 @ Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not wanting to put her to public shame, was resolved to divorce her quietly.

tcent@Matthew:1:20 @ But as he considered this, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, »Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.

tcent@Matthew:1:25 @ but did not know her until she had borne a son. And he called his name Jesus.

tcent@Matthew:2:1 @ Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem,

tcent@Matthew:2:12 @ And being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed to their own country by another way.

tcent@Matthew:2:13 @ Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, »Rise, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt, and stay there until I tell you; for Herod is about to search for the child, to destroy him.«

tcent@Matthew:3:4 @ Now John wore a garment of camel’s hair, and a leather belt around his waist; and his food was locusts and wild honey.

tcent@Matthew:3:9 @ and do not think to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I tell you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones.

tcent@Matthew:3:10 @ Even now the ax is laid at the root of the trees, and every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

tcent@Matthew:3:11 @ I baptize you with water for repentance, but he who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.

tcent@Matthew:3:12 @ His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor and gather his wheat into the barn, but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.«

tcent@Matthew:3:15 @ But Jesus answered him, »Let it be so now; for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.« Then he consented.

tcent@Matthew:4:7 @ Jesus said to him, »Again it is written, ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.’«

tcent@Matthew:4:12 @ Now when Jesus heard that John had been put in prison, he withdrew to Galilee.

tcent@Matthew:5:13 @ »You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its taste, how shall it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled under foot by men.

tcent@Matthew:5:14 @ You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.

tcent@Matthew:5:15 @ Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house.

tcent@Matthew:5:17 @ »Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.

tcent@Matthew:5:18 @ For truly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will by any means pass from the Law until all is accomplished.

tcent@Matthew:5:20 @ For I tell you, that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.

tcent@Matthew:5:21 @ »You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder, and whoever murders will be liable to judgment.’

tcent@Matthew:5:27 @ »You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’

tcent@Matthew:5:33 @ »Again you have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform your oaths to the Lord.’

tcent@Matthew:5:34 @ But I say to you, do not swear at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne;

tcent@Matthew:5:36 @ And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black.

tcent@Matthew:5:37 @ Simply let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No’; anything more than this comes from evil.

tcent@Matthew:5:39 @ But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. But if someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.

tcent@Matthew:5:42 @ Give to him who asks you, and from him who wants to borrow from you do not turn away.

tcent@Matthew:5:46 @ For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?

tcent@Matthew:5:47 @ And if you greet only your brethren, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same?

tcent@Matthew:6:1 @ »Take heed that you do not do your charitable deeds before men, to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.

tcent@Matthew:6:2 @ »Thus, when you give alms, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by men. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward.

tcent@Matthew:6:3 @ But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,

tcent@Matthew:6:5 @ »And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners, that they may be seen by men. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward.

tcent@Matthew:6:7 @ And when you pray, do not use empty repetitions as the Gentiles do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words.

tcent@Matthew:6:8 @ Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

tcent@Matthew:6:15 @ But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

tcent@Matthew:6:16 @ »And when you fast, do not look gloomy, like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces that they may be seen by men to be fasting. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward.

tcent@Matthew:6:17 @ But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face,

tcent@Matthew:6:18 @ so that you do not appear to be fasting to men, but to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

tcent@Matthew:6:19 @ »Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal,

tcent@Matthew:6:20 @ but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal.

tcent@Matthew:6:24 @ No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.

tcent@Matthew:6:25 @ »Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?

tcent@Matthew:6:26 @ Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?

tcent@Matthew:6:28 @ And why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither toil nor spin,

tcent@Matthew:6:29 @ yet I tell you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

tcent@Matthew:6:30 @ Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?

tcent@Matthew:6:31 @ Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’

tcent@Matthew:6:32 @ For the Gentiles seek after all these things; and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all.

tcent@Matthew:6:34 @ Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

tcent@Matthew:7:1 @ »Judge not, that you be not judged.

tcent@Matthew:7:3 @ And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye?

tcent@Matthew:7:6 @ Do not give what is holy to the dogs; do not throw your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces.

tcent@Matthew:7:7 @ »Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.

tcent@Matthew:7:8 @ For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.

tcent@Matthew:7:11 @ If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!

tcent@Matthew:7:15 @ »Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.

tcent@Matthew:7:16 @ You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thorn bushes, or figs from thistles?

tcent@Matthew:7:18 @ A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit.

tcent@Matthew:7:19 @ Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

tcent@Matthew:7:20 @ Thus you will know them by their fruits.

tcent@Matthew:7:21 @ »Not every one who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.

tcent@Matthew:7:22 @ On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’

tcent@Matthew:7:25 @ And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat upon that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock.

tcent@Matthew:7:26 @ And every one who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house upon the sand;

tcent@Matthew:7:29 @ for he taught them as one who had authority, and not as their scribes.

tcent@Matthew:8:4 @ And Jesus said to him, »See that you tell no one; but go your way, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.«

tcent@Matthew:8:8 @ But the centurion answered him, »Lord, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof. But only say the word, and my servant will be healed.

tcent@Matthew:8:9 @ For I also am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. And I say to this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.«

tcent@Matthew:8:10 @ When Jesus heard him, he marveled, and said to those who followed him, »Truly, I say to you, not even in Israel have I found such great faith.

tcent@Matthew:8:18 @ Now when Jesus saw great crowds around him, he gave orders to go over to the other side.

tcent@Matthew:8:20 @ And Jesus said to him, »Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.«

tcent@Matthew:8:21 @ Another of the disciples said to him, »Lord, let me first go and bury my father.«

tcent@Matthew:8:28 @ When he had come to the other side, to the country of the Gadarenes, two demon-possessed men met him, coming out of the tombs, exceedingly fierce, so that no one could pass that way.

tcent@Matthew:8:30 @ Now a herd of many swine was feeding at some distance from them.

tcent@Matthew:9:4 @ But Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, »Why do you think evil in your hearts?

tcent@Matthew:9:6 @ But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins«—he then said to the paralytic—»Rise, take up your bed and go home.«

tcent@Matthew:9:12 @ But when Jesus heard it, he said, »Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick.

tcent@Matthew:9:13 @ But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.«

tcent@Matthew:9:14 @ Then the disciples of John came to him, saying, »Why do we and the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?«

tcent@Matthew:9:16 @ No one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, for the patch pulls away from the garment, and the tear is made worse.

tcent@Matthew:9:23 @ When Jesus came to the ruler’s house, and saw the flute players and the noisy crowd,

tcent@Matthew:9:24 @ he said, »Depart; for the girl is not dead but sleeping.« And they laughed at him.

tcent@Matthew:9:30 @ And their eyes were opened. And Jesus sternly warned them, »See that no one knows it.«

tcent@Matthew:10:5 @ These twelve Jesus sent out and commanded them: »Do not go among the Gentiles, or enter any town of the Samaritans.

tcent@Matthew:10:9 @ Take no gold, nor silver, nor copper in your belts,

tcent@Matthew:10:10 @ nor bag for your journey, nor two tunics, nor sandals, nor a staff; for the worker is worthy of his food.

tcent@Matthew:10:11 @ Now whatever village or town you enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and stay there until you go out.

tcent@Matthew:10:13 @ And if the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it; but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you.

tcent@Matthew:10:14 @ And if any one will not receive you or listen to your words, shake off the dust from your feet when you leave that house or town.

tcent@Matthew:10:16 @ »Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.

tcent@Matthew:10:18 @ You will be brought before governors and kings for my sake, as a testimony to them and to the Gentiles.

tcent@Matthew:10:19 @ But when they deliver you up, do not worry about how you are to speak or what you are to say; for what you are to say will be given to you in that hour;

tcent@Matthew:10:20 @ for it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.

tcent@Matthew:10:21 @ Now brother will deliver up brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and have them put to death.

tcent@Matthew:10:23 @ When they persecute you in one city, flee to another. For truly, I say to you, you will not have gone through the cities of Israel before the Son of Man comes.

tcent@Matthew:10:24 @ »A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master.

tcent@Matthew:10:25 @ It is enough for the disciple to be like his teacher, and the servant like his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more will they call those of his household!

tcent@Matthew:10:26 @ »So do not fear them. For there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known.

tcent@Matthew:10:28 @ And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.

tcent@Matthew:10:29 @ Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father’s will.

tcent@Matthew:10:31 @ Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.

tcent@Matthew:10:32 @ »Therefore whoever acknowledges me before men, him I will also acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven.

tcent@Matthew:10:34 @ »Do not think that I have come to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.

tcent@Matthew:10:37 @ He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me;

tcent@Matthew:10:38 @ and he who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me.

tcent@Matthew:10:42 @ And whoever gives to one of these little ones even a cup of cold water because he is a disciple, truly, I say to you, he shall not lose his reward.«

tcent@Matthew:11:2 @ Now when John heard in prison about the works of Christ, he sent word by his disciples

tcent@Matthew:11:3 @ and said to him, »Are you the One who is to come, or shall we look for another?«

tcent@Matthew:11:6 @ And blessed is he who is not offended because of me.«

tcent@Matthew:11:11 @ Truly, I say to you, among those born of women there has not risen one greater than John the Baptist; yet he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

tcent@Matthew:11:12 @ From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence, and men of violence take it by force.

tcent@Matthew:11:18 @ For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’

tcent@Matthew:11:20 @ Then he began to rebuke the cities in which most of his mighty works had been done, because they did not repent.

tcent@Matthew:11:27 @ »All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.

tcent@Matthew:12:2 @ But when the Pharisees saw it, they said to him, »Look, your disciples are doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath.«

tcent@Matthew:12:3 @ He said to them, »Have you not read what David did, when he was hungry, and those who were with him:

tcent@Matthew:12:4 @ how he entered the house of God and ate the consecrated bread which was not lawful for him to eat, nor for those who were with him, but only for the priests?

tcent@Matthew:12:5 @ Or have you not read in the Law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath, and are innocent?

tcent@Matthew:12:7 @ And if you had known what this means, ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned the guiltless.

tcent@Matthew:12:11 @ He said to them, »What man of you, if he has one sheep and it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will not lay hold of it and lift it out?

tcent@Matthew:12:16 @ and ordered them not to make him known.

tcent@Matthew:12:25 @ Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them, »Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand.

tcent@Matthew:12:30 @ He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me scatters.

tcent@Matthew:12:31 @ Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.

tcent@Matthew:12:32 @ Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come.

tcent@Matthew:12:33 @ »Either make the tree good, and its fruit good; or make the tree bad, and its fruit bad; for a tree is known by its fruit.

tcent@Matthew:12:39 @ But he answered them, »An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign; but no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.

tcent@Matthew:12:41 @ The men of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and now one greater than Jonah is here.

tcent@Matthew:12:43 @ »When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none.

tcent@Matthew:13:5 @ Some fell on rocky places, where they did not have much soil, and they immediately sprang up because they had no depth of soil.

tcent@Matthew:13:6 @ But when the sun was up they were scorched, and because they had no root they withered away.

tcent@Matthew:13:11 @ And he answered them, »To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given.

tcent@Matthew:13:12 @ For whoever has, to him will more be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.

tcent@Matthew:13:13 @ This is why I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.

tcent@Matthew:13:17 @ For truly, I say to you, many prophets and righteous men longed to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.

tcent@Matthew:13:19 @ when anyone hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is the seed sown along the path.

tcent@Matthew:13:21 @ yet he has no root in himself, but endures only for a while. And when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he falls away.

tcent@Matthew:13:22 @ Now he who received seed among the thorns is he who hears the word, but the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.

tcent@Matthew:13:24 @ Another parable he put forth to them, saying: »The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field;

tcent@Matthew:13:27 @ And the servants of the householder came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then has it weeds?’

tcent@Matthew:13:29 @ But he said, ‘No, lest while you gather up the weeds you also root up the wheat with them.

tcent@Matthew:13:31 @ Another parable he put forth to them, saying: »The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field;

tcent@Matthew:13:33 @ He told them another parable: »The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour till it was all leavened.«

tcent@Matthew:13:34 @ All these things Jesus spoke to the crowd in parables; and without a parable he did not speak to them.

tcent@Matthew:13:55 @ Is this not the carpenter’s son? Is not his mother called Mary? And his brothers James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas?

tcent@Matthew:13:56 @ And are not all his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all these things?«

tcent@Matthew:13:57 @ And they took offense at him. But Jesus said to them, »A prophet is not without honor except in his own country and in his own house.«

tcent@Matthew:13:58 @ And he did not do many mighty works there, because of their unbelief.

tcent@Matthew:14:4 @ because John had said to him, »It is not lawful for you to have her.«

tcent@Matthew:14:13 @ Now when Jesus heard this, he withdrew from there in a boat to a lonely place by himself. But when the crowds heard it, they followed him on foot from the towns.

tcent@Matthew:14:16 @ Jesus said, »They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.«

tcent@Matthew:14:21 @ Now those who ate were about five thousand men, besides women and children.

tcent@Matthew:14:27 @ But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, »Take courage! It is I; do not be afraid.«

tcent@Matthew:15:2 @ »Why do your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat.«

tcent@Matthew:15:4 @ For God commanded, ‘Honor your father and your mother’; and, ‘He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.’

tcent@Matthew:15:6 @ he is not to honor his father with it. Thus you have made the word of God of no effect for the sake of your tradition.

tcent@Matthew:15:11 @ not what goes into the mouth defiles a man, but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man.«

tcent@Matthew:15:12 @ Then the disciples came and said to him, »Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this saying?«

tcent@Matthew:15:13 @ He answered, »Every plant which my heavenly Father has not planted will be rooted up.

tcent@Matthew:15:17 @ Do you not yet see that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and is eliminated?

tcent@Matthew:15:20 @ These are what defile a man; but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile a man.«

tcent@Matthew:15:23 @ But he did not answer her a word. And his disciples came and urged him, saying, »Send her away, for she is crying out after us.«

tcent@Matthew:15:26 @ And he answered, »It is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.«

tcent@Matthew:15:32 @ Now Jesus called his disciples to him and said, »I have compassion on the multitude, because they have been with me three days and have nothing to eat. And I do not want to send them away hungry, lest they faint on the way.«

tcent@Matthew:15:33 @ Then his disciples said to him, »Where could we get enough bread in the wilderness to feed such a great crowd?«

tcent@Matthew:15:38 @ Now those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.

tcent@Matthew:16:3 @ And in the morning, ‘It will be stormy today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times.

tcent@Matthew:16:4 @ A wicked and adulterous generation seeks for a sign, but no sign shall be given to it except the sign of Jonah.« So he left them and departed.

tcent@Matthew:16:7 @ And they discussed among themselves, saying, »It is because we have taken no bread.«

tcent@Matthew:16:8 @ But Jesus, aware of this, said, »O men of little faith, why do you discuss among yourselves the fact that you have no bread?

tcent@Matthew:16:9 @ Do you not yet perceive? Do you not remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets you gathered?

tcent@Matthew:16:11 @ How is it that you do not understand that I did not speak to you about bread? But beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.«

tcent@Matthew:16:12 @ Then they understood that he did not tell them to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

tcent@Matthew:16:17 @ And Jesus answered him, »Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.

tcent@Matthew:16:18 @ And I tell you, that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.

tcent@Matthew:16:20 @ Then he strictly charged his disciples to tell no one that he was the Christ.

tcent@Matthew:16:23 @ But he turned and said to Peter, »Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; for you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men.«

tcent@Matthew:16:28 @ Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.«

tcent@Matthew:17:8 @ And when they lifted up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus only.

tcent@Matthew:17:9 @ And as they were coming down the mountain, Jesus commanded them, »Tell no one the vision, until the Son of Man is raised from the dead.«

tcent@Matthew:17:12 @ But I tell you that Elijah has come already, and they did not know him but did to him whatever they wished. So also the Son of Man is about to suffer at their hands.«

tcent@Matthew:17:16 @ And I brought him to your disciples, but they could not heal him.«

tcent@Matthew:17:19 @ Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, »Why could we not cast it out?«

tcent@Matthew:17:20 @ So he said to them, »Because of your little faith. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you.«

tcent@Matthew:17:22 @ Now while they were staying in Galilee, Jesus said to them, »The Son of Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men,

tcent@Matthew:17:24 @ When they came to Capernaum, the collectors of the half-shekel tax went up to Peter and said, »Does not your teacher pay the temple tax?«

tcent@Matthew:17:27 @ Nevertheless, so that we may not offend them, go to the sea, cast in a hook, and take the fish that comes up first. And when you open its mouth, you will find a piece of money; take that and give it to them for me and you.«

tcent@Matthew:18:10 @ »See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.

tcent@Matthew:18:12 @ What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine and go to the mountains in search of the one that went astray?

tcent@Matthew:18:13 @ And if he finds it, truly, I say to you, he rejoices more over that sheep than over the ninety-nine that did not go astray.

tcent@Matthew:18:14 @ So it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.

tcent@Matthew:18:16 @ But if he will not listen, take one or two others along with you, so that ‘every matter may be established by the word of two or three witnesses.’

tcent@Matthew:18:22 @ Jesus said to him, »I do not say to you seven times, but seventy times seven.

tcent@Matthew:18:25 @ And as he was not able to pay, his master ordered that he be sold, with his wife and children and all that he had, and payment to be made.

tcent@Matthew:18:33 @ Should not you have had mercy on your fellow servant, just as I had mercy on you?’

tcent@Matthew:18:35 @ So also my heavenly Father will do to each of you, if you do not forgive your brother from your heart.«

tcent@Mark:6:31 @ And he said to them, »Come away by yourselves to a lonely place and rest a while.« For there were many coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat.

tcent@Mark:6:50 @ for they all saw him, and were terrified. But immediately he spoke to them and said, »Take courage! It is I; do not be afraid.«

tcent@Mark:7:4 @ When they come from the marketplace, they do not eat unless they wash themselves. And there are many other traditions which they observe, the washing of cups and pitchers and copper vessels. )

tcent@Mark:7:5 @ The Pharisees and the scribes asked him, »Why do your disciples not live according to the tradition of the elders, but eat with impure hands?«

tcent@Mark:7:10 @ For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother’; and, ‘He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.’

tcent@Mark:7:27 @ And he said to her, »Let the children first be fed, for it is not right to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.«

tcent@Mark:7:36 @ And he commanded them to tell no one; but the more he charged them, the more widely they proclaimed it.

tcent@Mark:8:1 @ In those days, when again a great crowd had gathered, and they had nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples to him, and said to them,

tcent@Mark:8:2 @ »I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days and have nothing to eat.

tcent@Mark:8:14 @ Now the disciples had forgotten to bring bread, and they had only one loaf with them in the boat.

tcent@Mark:8:16 @ And they discussed it with one another, saying, »It is because we have no bread.«

tcent@Mark:8:17 @ Being aware of it, Jesus said to them, »Why do you discuss the fact that you have no bread? Do you not yet perceive or understand? Are your hearts hardened?

tcent@Mark:9:8 @ Suddenly, when they looked around, they no longer saw anyone with them but Jesus only.

tcent@Mark:9:9 @ And as they were coming down the mountain, he charged them to tell no one what they had seen, until the Son of Man had risen from the dead.

tcent@Mark:9:18 @ And wherever it seizes him, it throws him down; he foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth and becomes rigid. I asked your disciples to cast out the spirit, but they could not.«

tcent@Mark:9:28 @ And when he had come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, »Why could we not cast it out?«

tcent@Mark:9:30 @ Then they departed from there and passed through Galilee, and he did not want anyone to know it.

tcent@Mark:9:32 @ But they did not understand the saying, and they were afraid to ask him.

tcent@Mark:10:9 @ Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.«

tcent@Mark:10:11 @ So he said to them, »Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her.

tcent@Mark:10:12 @ And if she divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery.«

tcent@Mark:10:14 @ But when Jesus saw it, he was indignant and said to them, »Let the little children come to me; and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God.

tcent@Luke:4:41 @ And demons also came out of many, crying, »You are the Son of God!« But he rebuked them, and would not allow them to speak, because they knew that he was the Christ.

tcent@Luke:5:32 @ I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.«

tcent@Luke:5:36 @ He told them a parable also: »No one tears a piece from a new garment and puts it on an old one; if he does, he will tear the new garment, and the piece from the new will not match the old.

tcent@Luke:5:37 @ And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; if he does, the new wine will burst the skins and it will be spilled, and the skins will be ruined.

tcent@Luke:5:39 @ And no one after drinking old wine desires the new; for he says, ‘The old is better.’«

tcent@Luke:6:2 @ But some of the Pharisees said, »Why are you doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath?«

tcent@Luke:6:3 @ Jesus answered them, »Have you not read what David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him:

tcent@Luke:6:4 @ how he entered the house of God, took and ate the consecrated bread, and also gave some to those with him, which is not lawful for any but the priests to eat?«

tcent@Luke:6:6 @ On another Sabbath he entered the synagogue and taught, and a man was there whose right hand was withered.

tcent@Luke:6:11 @ But they were filled with fury and discussed with one another what they might do to Jesus.

tcent@Luke:10:31 @ Now by chance a priest was going down that road, and when he saw him he passed by on the other side.

tcent@Luke:10:38 @ Now as they went on their way, he entered a village; and a woman named Martha welcomed him into her house.

tcent@Luke:10:40 @ But Martha was distracted with much serving; and she went to him and said, »Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her then to help me.«

tcent@Luke:20:28 @ and they questioned him, »Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies, having a wife but no children, the man must take the wife and raise up children for his brother.

tcent@Luke:20:29 @ Now there were seven brothers. The first took a wife, and died without children.

tcent@John:3:23 @ Now John also was baptizing at Aenon near Salim, because there was much water there; and people came and were baptized.

tcent@John:3:24 @ For John had not yet been put in prison.

tcent@John:3:36 @ He who believes in the Son has eternal life; he who does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.«

tcent@John:4:1 @ Now when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John

tcent@John:4:2 @ (although Jesus himself did not baptize, but only his disciples),

tcent@John:4:4 @ Now he had to go through Samaria.

tcent@John:4:9 @ Then the woman of Samaria said to him, »How is it that you, being a Jew, ask a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?« For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.

tcent@John:4:11 @ The woman said to him, »Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. Where do you get that living water?

tcent@John:4:15 @ The woman said to him, »Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come here to draw.«

tcent@John:4:17 @ The woman answered, »I have no husband.« Jesus said to her, »You are right in saying, ‘I have no husband’;

tcent@John:4:18 @ for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband; this you have said truly.«

tcent@John:4:21 @ Jesus said to her, »Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.

tcent@John:4:22 @ You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews.

tcent@John:4:23 @ But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for such the Father seeks to worship him.

tcent@John:4:25 @ The woman said to him, »I know that Messiah is coming« (who is called Christ). »When he comes, he will tell us all things.«

tcent@John:4:27 @ Just then his disciples came. And they marveled that he was talking with a woman, but no one said, »What do you wish?« or, »Why are you talking with her?«

tcent@John:4:32 @ But he said to them, »I have food to eat of which you do not know.«

tcent@John:4:33 @ So the disciples said to one another, »Has any one brought him food?«

tcent@John:4:35 @ Do you not say, ‘There are yet four months and then comes the harvest’? Behold, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and look at the fields! They are already white for harvest.

tcent@John:4:37 @ For here the saying is true, ‘One sows and another reaps.’

tcent@John:4:38 @ I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored, and you have entered into their labor.«

tcent@John:4:42 @ They said to the woman, »We no longer believe just because of what you said; now we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man is indeed the Savior of the world.«

tcent@John:4:44 @ For Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.

tcent@John:4:54 @ This was now the second sign that Jesus did when he had come from Judea to Galilee.

tcent@John:5:2 @ Now there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate a pool, which is called in Hebrew, Bethesda, having five porches.

tcent@John:5:7 @ The sick man answered him, »Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; but while I am coming, another steps down before me.«

tcent@John:5:10 @ So the Jews said to the man who was cured, »It is the Sabbath; it is not lawful for you to carry your bed.«

tcent@John:5:13 @ Now the man who had been healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, as there was a crowd in that place.

tcent@John:5:14 @ Afterward, Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, »See, you are well. Sin no more, so that nothing worse may happen to you.«

tcent@John:5:18 @ Therefore the Jews sought all the more to kill him, because he not only broke the Sabbath, but also said that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.

tcent@John:5:19 @ Jesus said to them, »Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of himself, but only what he sees the Father doing; for whatever he does, the Son also does.

tcent@John:5:22 @ For the Father judges no one, but has given all judgment to the Son,

tcent@John:5:23 @ that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.

tcent@John:5:24 @ Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears my word and believes him who sent me, has eternal life; and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.

tcent@John:5:25 @ Truly, truly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live.

tcent@John:5:28 @ Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming when all who are in the graves will hear his voice

tcent@John:5:30 @ »I can do nothing of myself; as I hear, I judge; and my judgment is just, because I seek not my own will but the will of him who sent me.

tcent@John:5:31 @ »If I bear witness of myself, my testimony is not true.

tcent@John:5:32 @ There is another who bears witness of me, and I know that the testimony which he bears of me is true.

tcent@John:5:34 @ Not that the testimony which I receive is from man; but I say this that you may be saved.

tcent@John:5:37 @ And the Father who sent me has himself testified of me. You have never heard his voice, nor seen his form.

tcent@John:5:38 @ And you do not have his word abiding in you, for you do not believe him whom he has sent.

tcent@John:5:41 @ »I do not receive glory from men.

tcent@John:5:42 @ But I know you, that you do not have the love of God in you.

tcent@John:5:43 @ I have come in my Father's name, and you do not receive me; if another comes in his own name, him you will receive.

tcent@John:5:44 @ How can you believe, who receive glory from one another, and do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?

tcent@John:5:45 @ Do not think that I shall accuse you to the Father; it is Moses who accuses you, on whom you set your hope.

tcent@John:5:47 @ But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?«

tcent@John:6:4 @ Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was near.

tcent@John:6:7 @ Philip answered him, »Two hundred denarii would not buy enough bread for each one of them to have a little.«

tcent@John:6:10 @ Jesus said, »Make the people sit down.« Now there was much grass in the place; so the men sat down, in number about five thousand.

tcent@John:6:12 @ And when they had eaten their fill, he said to his disciples, »Gather up the fragments left over, that nothing may be lost.«

tcent@John:6:17 @ got into a boat, and started across the sea to Capernaum. It was now dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them.

tcent@John:6:20 @ But he said to them, »It is I; do not be afraid.«

tcent@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.

tcent@John:6:24 @ So when the people saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they also got into the boats and went to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.

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

tcent@John:6:27 @ Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you; for on him has God the Father set his seal.«

tcent@John:6:32 @ Jesus then said to them, »Truly, truly, I say to you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven; but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven.

tcent@John:6:36 @ But I said to you that you have seen me and yet do not believe.

tcent@John:6:37 @ All that the Father gives me will come to me, and the one who comes to me I will by no means cast out.

tcent@John:6:38 @ For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me.

tcent@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.

tcent@John:6:42 @ They said, »Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does he now say, ‘I have come down from heaven’?«

tcent@John:6:43 @ Jesus answered them, »Do not murmur among yourselves.

tcent@John:6:44 @ No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day.

tcent@John:6:46 @ Not that any one has seen the Father except the one who is from God; he has seen the Father.

tcent@John:6:50 @ This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that a man may eat of it and not die.

tcent@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.

tcent@John:6:58 @ This is the bread which came down from heaven, not as your fathers ate the manna and died. He who eats this bread will live for ever.«

tcent@John:6:63 @ It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit, and they are life.

tcent@John:6:64 @ But there are some of you who do not believe.« For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who would betray him.

tcent@John:6:65 @ And he said, »This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it has been granted to him by the Father.«

tcent@John:6:66 @ From this time many of his disciples went back and no longer walked with him.

tcent@John:6:69 @ And we believe, and have come to know, that you are the Holy One of God.«

tcent@John:6:70 @ Jesus answered them, »Did I not choose you, the twelve, and one of you is a devil?«

tcent@John:7:1 @ After this Jesus went about in Galilee; he would not go about in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.

tcent@John:7:2 @ Now the Jews' feast of Tabernacles was at hand.

tcent@John:7:4 @ For no one works in secret if he seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, show yourself to the world.«

tcent@John:7:5 @ For even his brothers did not believe in him.

tcent@John:7:6 @ Jesus said to them, »My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.

tcent@John:7:7 @ The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify of it that its works are evil.

tcent@John:7:8 @ You go up to the feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, for my time has not yet fully come.«

tcent@John:7:10 @ But after his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly, but in secret.

tcent@John:7:12 @ And there was much complaining among the people about him. Some said, »He is a good man«; others said, »No, on the contrary, he deceives the people.«

tcent@John:7:13 @ However, no one spoke openly of him for fear of the Jews.

tcent@John:7:14 @ Now about the middle of the feast Jesus went up into the temple and taught.

tcent@John:7:16 @ Jesus answered them, »My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.

tcent@John:7:17 @ If anyone is willing to do his will, he shall know whether the teaching is from God or whether I speak on my own authority.

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

tcent@John:7:19 @ Did not Moses give you the law? Yet none of you keeps the law. Why do you seek to kill me?«

tcent@John:7:22 @ Moses therefore gave you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers), and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath.

tcent@John:7:23 @ If on the Sabbath a man receives circumcision, so that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me because on the Sabbath I made a man's whole body well?

tcent@John:7:24 @ Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment.«

tcent@John:7:25 @ Then some of the people of Jerusalem said, »Is not this the man whom they seek to kill?

tcent@John:7:26 @ Here he is, speaking publicly, and they say nothing to him! Can it be that the authorities really know that he is the Christ?

tcent@John:7:27 @ But we know where this man is from; when the Christ comes, no one will know where he is from.«

tcent@John:7:28 @ Then Jesus cried out, as he taught in the temple, »You know me, and you know where I am from; and I have not come on my own, but he who sent me is true, and him you do not know.

tcent@John:7:29 @ But I know him, for I am from him, and he sent me.«

tcent@John:7:30 @ Then they sought to take him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.

tcent@John:7:34 @ You will seek me, and you will not find me; where I am you cannot come.«

tcent@John:7:35 @ The Jews said to one another, »Where does this man intend to go that we shall not find him? Does he intend to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks?

tcent@John:7:36 @ What does he mean when he said, ‘You will seek me and you will not find me,’ and, ‘Where I am you cannot come’?«

tcent@John:7:39 @ Now this he said about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were to receive; for as yet the Spirit had not been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

tcent@John:7:42 @ Has not the scripture said that the Christ comes from David, and from Bethlehem, the town where David was?«

tcent@John:7:44 @ Some of them wanted to seize him, but no one laid hands on him.

tcent@John:7:45 @ The officers then went back to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, »Why did you not bring him?«

tcent@John:7:46 @ The officers answered, »No man ever spoke like this man!«

tcent@John:7:49 @ But this crowd that does not know the law is accursed.«

tcent@John:7:52 @ They replied, »Are you from Galilee, too? Search and look, and you will find that no prophet is to rise out of Galilee.«

tcent@John:8:5 @ Now in the law Moses commanded us to stone such. What do you say?«

tcent@John:8:10 @ Jesus straightened up and said to her, »Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?«

tcent@John:8:11 @ She said, »No one, Lord.« And Jesus said, »Neither do I condemn you; go, and sin no more.«

tcent@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.«

tcent@John:8:13 @ The Pharisees then said to him, »You are bearing witness of yourself; your testimony is not true.«

tcent@John:8:14 @ Jesus answered, »Even if I bear witness of myself, my testimony is true, for I know where I came from and where I am going; but you do not know where I come from and where I am going.

tcent@John:8:15 @ You judge according to the flesh; I judge no one.

tcent@John:8:16 @ And yet if I do judge, my judgment is true, for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent me.

tcent@John:8:19 @ Then they said to him, »Where is your Father?« Jesus answered, »You know neither me nor my Father; if you knew me, you would know my Father also.«

tcent@John:8:20 @ These words he spoke in the treasury, as he taught in the temple; but no one arrested him, because his hour had not yet come.

tcent@John:8:21 @ Then Jesus said to them again, »I am going away, and you will seek me, and will die in your sin. Where I go you cannot come.«

tcent@John:8:22 @ Then the Jews said, »Will he kill himself, since he says, ‘Where I go you cannot come’?«

tcent@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.

tcent@John:8:24 @ Therefore I told to you that you would die in your sins; for if you do not believe that I am he, you will die in your sins.«

tcent@John:8:27 @ They did not understand that he spoke to them of the Father.

tcent@John:8:28 @ So Jesus said, »When you have lifted up the Son of man, then you will know that I am he, and that I do nothing on my own authority but speak just what the Father taught me.

tcent@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.«

tcent@John:8:32 @ And you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.«

tcent@John:8:35 @ And a slave does not continue in the house forever, but a son continues forever.

tcent@John:8:37 @ I know that you are Abraham's descendants, yet you seek to kill me, because my word has no place in you.

tcent@John:8:40 @ but now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. This is not what Abraham did.

tcent@John:8:41 @ You do the deeds of your father.« They said to him, »We were not born of fornication; we have one Father – God.«

tcent@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 have not come of my own accord, but he sent me.

tcent@John:8:43 @ Why do you not understand what I say? It is because you are not able to hear my word.

tcent@John:8:44 @ You are of your father the devil, and you want to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks according to his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

tcent@John:8:45 @ But because I tell the truth, you do not believe me.

tcent@John:8:46 @ Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me?

tcent@John:8:47 @ He who is of God hears the words of God; the reason you do not hear them is that you are not of God.«

tcent@John:8:48 @ The Jews answered him, »Are we not right in saying that you are a Samaritan and have a demon?«

tcent@John:8:49 @ Jesus answered, »I do not have a demon; but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me.

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

tcent@John:8:52 @ The Jews said to him, »Now we know that you have a demon! Abraham died, as did the prophets; and you say, ‘If anyone keeps my word, he will never taste death.’

tcent@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.

tcent@John:8:55 @ But you have not known him; I know him. If I said, I do not know him, I would be a liar like you; but I do know him and keep his word.

tcent@John:8:57 @ The Jews then said to him, »You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?«

tcent@John:9:3 @ Jesus answered, »Neither this man sinned nor his parents sinned. But that the works of God might be revealed in him,

tcent@John:9:4 @ we must work the works of him who sent me, while it is day. Night is coming, when no one can work.

tcent@John:9:6 @ As he said this, he spat on the ground and made clay of the saliva, and anointed the man's eyes with the clay.

tcent@John:9:8 @ The neighbors and those who had seen him before as a beggar, said, »Is not this the man who used to sit and beg?«

tcent@John:9:9 @ Some said, »It is he.« Others said, »No, but he is like him.« He said, »I am the man.«

tcent@John:9:11 @ He answered and said, »A man called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes and said to me, ‘Go to the pool of Siloam and wash.’ So I went and washed, and I received sight.«

tcent@John:9:12 @ They said to him, »Where is he?« He said, »I do not know.«

tcent@John:9:14 @ Now it was a Sabbath day when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes.

tcent@John:9:16 @ Some of the Pharisees said, »This man is not from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath.« But others said, »How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?« And there was a division among them.

tcent@John:9:18 @ The Jews did not believe that he had been blind, and had received his sight, until they called the parents of the man who had received his sight.

tcent@John:9:19 @ And they asked them, »Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then does he now see?«

tcent@John:9:20 @ His parents answered, »We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;

tcent@John:9:21 @ but how he now sees we do not know, nor do we know who opened his eyes. Ask him. He is of age; he will speak for himself.«

tcent@John:9:24 @ So for the second time they called the man who had been blind, and said to him, »Give God the glory; we know that this man is a sinner.«

tcent@John:9:25 @ He answered, »Whether he is a sinner or not, I do not know. One thing I know, that though I was blind, now I see.«

tcent@John:9:27 @ He answered them, »I have told you already and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you want to become his disciples, too?«

tcent@John:9:29 @ We know that God spoke to Moses, but as for this fellow, we do not know where he comes from.«

tcent@John:9:30 @ The man answered, »Why, this is a marvel! You do not know where he comes from, and yet he opened my eyes.

tcent@John:9:31 @ We know that God does not listen to sinners, but if any one is a worshiper of God and does his will, he listens to him.

tcent@John:9:33 @ If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.«

tcent@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?«

tcent@John:11:57 @ Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone knew where he was, he should report it, so that they might arrest him.

tcent@John:12:3 @ Then Mary took a pound of very costly perfume of pure nard, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.

tcent@John:12:5 @ »Why was this perfume not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?«

tcent@John:12:6 @ This he said, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief; and as he had the money box, he used to take what was put into it.

tcent@John:12:8 @ The poor you always have with you, but you do not always have me.«

tcent@John:12:9 @ Now a great crowd of the Jews learned that he was there, and they came, not only on account of Jesus but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.

tcent@John:12:16 @ His disciples did not understand this at first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things had been written about him and that they had done these things to him.

tcent@John:12:19 @ The Pharisees then said to one another, »You see that you are accomplishing nothing. Look, The world has gone after him!«

tcent@John:12:20 @ Now there were some Greeks among those who went up to worship at the Feast.

tcent@John:12:26 @ If anyone serves me, he must follow me; and where I am, there my servant will be also. If anyone serves me, him my Father will honor.

tcent@John:12:27 @ »Now is my soul troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour’? No, for this purpose I came to this hour.

tcent@John:12:30 @ Jesus answered, »This voice has come for your sake, not for mine.

tcent@John:12:31 @ Now is the judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out.

tcent@John:12:35 @ Then Jesus said to them, »A little while longer the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, lest the darkness overtake you; he who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going.

tcent@John:12:37 @ Though he had done so many signs before them, yet they did not believe in him;

tcent@John:12:39 @ Therefore they could not believe, because Isaiah said again:

tcent@John:12:42 @ Nevertheless even among the rulers many believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue;

tcent@John:12:44 @ Then Jesus cried out and said, »He who believes in me, believes not in me but in him who sent me.

tcent@John:12:46 @ I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in me should not remain in darkness.

tcent@John:12:47 @ If anyone hears my words and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world.

tcent@John:12:48 @ He who rejects me and does not receive my words has a judge; the word that I have spoken will condemn him on the last day.

tcent@John:12:49 @ For I have not spoken on my own authority; but the Father who sent me gave me a command, what to say and what to speak.

tcent@John:12:50 @ And I know that his command is eternal life. Whatever I say, therefore, I say just as the Father has told me.«

tcent@John:13:1 @ Now before the feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart from this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.

tcent@John:13:3 @ Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he had come from God and was going to God,

tcent@John:13:7 @ Jesus answered him, »You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand.«

tcent@John:13:8 @ Peter said to him, »You shall never wash my feet.« Jesus answered him, »If I do not wash you, you have no part with me.«

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

tcent@John:13:10 @ Jesus said to him, »He who has bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean; and you are clean, but not every one of you.«

tcent@John:13:11 @ For he knew who was to betray him; that was why he said, »You are not all clean.«

tcent@John:13:12 @ When he had washed their feet, and taken his garments, and returned to his place, he said to them, »Do you know what I have done to you?

tcent@John:13:14 @ If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet.

tcent@John:13:16 @ Truly, truly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master; nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him.

tcent@John:13:17 @ If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.

tcent@John:13:18 @ I am not speaking of you all. I know whom I have chosen; but that the Scripture may be fulfilled, ‘he who ate my bread has lifted up his heel against me.’

tcent@John:13:19 @ Now I tell you before it comes, that when it does take place, you may believe that I am he.

tcent@John:13:22 @ The disciples looked at one another, uncertain of whom he spoke.

tcent@John:13:28 @ But no one at the table knew why he said this to him.

tcent@John:13:31 @ When he had gone out, Jesus said, »Now is the Son of Man glorified, and in him God is glorified.

tcent@John:13:33 @ Little children, I shall be with you a little while longer. You will seek me; and as I said to the Jews, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come,’ so now I say to you.

tcent@John:13:34 @ A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.

tcent@John:13:35 @ By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.«

tcent@John:13:37 @ Peter said to him, »Lord, why can I not follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.«

tcent@John:13:38 @ Jesus answered, »Will you lay down your life for me? Truly, truly, I say to you, the rooster will not crow, till you have denied me three times.

tcent@John:14:5 @ Thomas said to him, »Lord, we do not know where you are going, and how can we know the way?«

tcent@John:14:6 @ Jesus said to him, »I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

tcent@John:14:7 @ If you had known me, you would have known my Father also; and from now on you know him and have seen him.«

tcent@John:14:8 @ Philip said to him, »Lord, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us.«

tcent@John:14:9 @ Jesus said to him, »Have I been with you so long, and yet you do not know me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father; how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?

tcent@John:14:10 @ Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own authority; but the Father who dwells in me does his works.

tcent@John:14:16 @ And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor, to be with you forever –

tcent@John:14:17 @ the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him; but you know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you.

tcent@John:14:29 @ And now I have told you before it takes place, so that when it does take place, you may believe.

tcent@John:14:30 @ I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in me.

tcent@John:14:31 @ But I do as the Father commanded me, so that the world may know that I love the Father. Rise, let us go from here.

tcent@John:15:2 @ Every branch in me that bears no fruit he takes away; and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, so that it may bear more fruit.

tcent@John:15:4 @ Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me.

tcent@John:15:5 @ I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in me, and I in him, he bears much fruit; for apart from me you can do nothing.

tcent@John:15:6 @ If anyone does not abide in me, he is like a branch that is cast away and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire and burned.

tcent@John:15:12 @ This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.

tcent@John:15:13 @ Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.

tcent@John:15:15 @ No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you.

tcent@John:15:16 @ You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in my name he may give you.

tcent@John:15:17 @ This I command you, that you love one another.

tcent@John:15:18 @ »If the world hates you, know that it hated me before it hated you.

tcent@John:15:19 @ If you were of the world, the world would love its own. But because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.

tcent@John:15:20 @ Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will keep yours also.

tcent@John:15:21 @ But all this they will do to you for my name's sake, because they do not know him who sent me.

tcent@John:15:22 @ If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin.

tcent@John:15:24 @ If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would not have sin; but now they have seen and hated both me and my Father.

tcent@John:16:26 @ In that day you will ask in my name. And I do not say to you that I shall pray the Father for you;

tcent@John:16:29 @ His disciples said, »See, now you are speaking plainly, and not using a figure of speech!

tcent@John:16:30 @ Now we are sure that you know all things, and have no need for anyone to question you. By this we believe that you came from God.«

tcent@John:16:31 @ Jesus answered them, »Do you now believe?

tcent@John:16:32 @ Indeed the hour is coming, yes, has now come, when you will be scattered, each to his own, and will leave me alone. And yet I am not alone, for the Father is with me.

tcent@John:17:5 @ And now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory which I had with you before the world was made.

tcent@John:17:7 @ Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you.

tcent@John:17:8 @ For I have given them the words which you have given me, and they have received them and know in truth that I came from you; and they have believed that you sent me.

tcent@John:17:9 @ I pray for them. I am not praying for the world, but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours.

tcent@John:17:11 @ And now I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name – the name you gave me – that they may be one, even as we are one.

tcent@John:17:12 @ While I was with them, I kept them in your name – the name you gave me. I have guarded them, and none of them is lost except the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.

tcent@John:17:13 @ But now I am coming to you, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves.

tcent@John:17:14 @ I have given them your word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

tcent@John:17:25 @ O righteous Father, the world has not known you, but I have known you; and these know that you sent me.

tcent@John:17:26 @ I have made known to them your name, and will make it known, that the love with which you loved me may be in them, and I in them.«

tcent@John:18:2 @ Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place; for Jesus often met there with his disciples.

tcent@John:18:4 @ Then Jesus, knowing all that was to come upon him, went forward and said to them, »Whom do you seek?«

tcent@John:18:9 @ This happened so that the words which he had spoken would be fulfilled, »Of those whom you gave me I have lost none.«

tcent@John:18:11 @ Jesus said to Peter, »Put your sword into its sheath; shall I not drink the cup which the Father has given me?«

tcent@John:18:14 @ Now it was Caiaphas who had advised the Jews that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.

tcent@John:18:15 @ Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple. As this disciple was known to the high priest, he went with Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest.

tcent@John:18:16 @ But Peter stood at the door outside. Then the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the girl who kept the door, and brought Peter in.

tcent@John:18:17 @ Then the girl who kept the door said to Peter, »You are not also one of this man’s disciples, are you?« He said, »I am not.«

tcent@John:18:18 @ Now the servants and officers had made a charcoal fire, because it was cold, and they were standing and warming themselves. Peter also was with them, standing and warming himself.

tcent@John:18:20 @ Jesus answered him, »I have spoken openly to the world. I always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where all the Jews come together, and I have said nothing in secret.

tcent@John:18:21 @ Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard me what I said to them. They know what I said.«

tcent@John:18:25 @ Now Simon Peter stood warming himself. Therefore they said to him, »You are not also one of his disciples, are you?« He denied it and said, »I am not.«

tcent@John:18:26 @ One of the servants of the high priest, a relative of him whose ear Peter had cut off, said, »Did I not see you in the garden with him?«

tcent@John:18:28 @ Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas to the Praetorium, and it was early morning. But they did not enter the Praetorium themselves, so that they might not be defiled, but might eat the Passover.

tcent@John:18:30 @ They answered him, »If he were not an evildoer, we would not have handed him over to you.«

tcent@John:18:31 @ Pilate said to them, »Take him yourselves and judge him by your own law.« The Jews said to him, »It is not lawful for us to put anyone to death.«

tcent@John:18:36 @ Jesus answered, »My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now my kingship is not from here.«

tcent@John:18:40 @ Then they all cried again, »Not this man, but Barabbas!« Now Barabbas was a robber.

tcent@John:19:4 @ Pilate went out again, and said to them, »See, I am bringing him out to you, that you may know that I find no crime in him.«

tcent@John:19:6 @ When the chief priests and officers saw him, they cried out, »Crucify him, crucify him!« Pilate said to them, »You take him and crucify him, for I find no fault in him.«

tcent@John:19:9 @ and he went again into the Praetorium and said to Jesus, »Where are you from?« But Jesus gave him no answer.

tcent@John:19:10 @ Pilate said to him, »You will not speak to me? Do you not know that I have power to release you, and power to crucify you?«

tcent@John:19:11 @ Jesus answered, »You would have no power over me unless it had been given you from above. Therefore the one who delivered me to you has the greater sin.«

tcent@John:19:12 @ From then on Pilate sought to release him, but the Jews cried out, »If you let this man go, you are not Caesar’s friend. Anyone who makes himself a king sets himself against Caesar.«

tcent@John:19:14 @ Now it was the day of Preparation of the Passover, about the sixth hour. And he said to the Jews, »Behold your King!«

tcent@John:19:15 @ But they cried out, »Away with him! Away with him! Crucify him!« Pilate said to them, »Shall I crucify your King?« The chief priests answered, »We have no King but Caesar.«

tcent@John:19:21 @ The chief priests of the Jews then said to Pilate, »Do not write, ‘The King of the Jews,’ but, ‘This man said, I am King of the Jews.’«

tcent@John:19:23 @ When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took his garments, and made four parts, one for each soldier, and also his tunic. Now the tunic was without seam, woven in one piece from top to bottom.

tcent@John:19:24 @ So they said to one another, »Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be.« This happened that the Scripture might be fulfilled which says:

tcent@John:19:28 @ After this, Jesus, knowing that all was now accomplished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, »I thirst.«

tcent@John:19:29 @ Now a vessel full of wine vinegar was sitting there; so they filled a sponge with the vinegar, put it on hyssop, and put it to his mouth.

tcent@John:19:31 @ Therefore, because it was the day of Preparation, that the bodies should not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

tcent@John:19:33 @ But when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs.

tcent@John:19:35 @ He who saw it has testified, and his testimony is true, and he knows that he tells the truth, that you also may believe.

tcent@John:19:36 @ For these things were done that the scripture should be fulfilled, »Not one of his bones shall be broken.«

tcent@John:19:37 @ And again another scripture says, »They shall look on him whom they have pierced.«

tcent@John:19:41 @ Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had ever been laid.

tcent@John:20:2 @ So she ran, and came to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved, and said to them, »They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him.«

tcent@John:20:14 @ Saying this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not know that it was Jesus.

tcent@John:20:17 @ Jesus said to her, »Do not hold me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to my brethren and say to them, »I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’«

tcent@John:20:24 @ Now Thomas, one of the twelve, called the Twin, was not with them when Jesus came.

tcent@John:20:25 @ So the other disciples told him, »We have seen the Lord.« But he said to them, »Unless I see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger in the mark of the nails, and put my hand in his side, I will not believe.«

tcent@John:20:27 @ Then he said to Thomas, »Put your finger here, and see my hands. Reach out your hand, and put it into my side; do not be unbelieving, but believing.«

tcent@John:20:29 @ Jesus said to him, »Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.«

tcent@John:20:30 @ Jesus did many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book;

tcent@John:21:3 @ Simon Peter said to them, »I am going fishing.« They said to him, »We will go with you.« They went out and got into the boat; but that night they caught nothing.

tcent@John:21:4 @ But early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.

tcent@John:21:5 @ Jesus said to them, »Children, have you any fish?« They answered him, »No.«

tcent@John:21:6 @ He said to them, »Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.« So they cast, and now they were not able to haul it in because of the great number of fish.

tcent@John:21:7 @ Then that disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, »It is the Lord!« Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment (for he had removed it), and threw himself into the sea.

tcent@John:21:8 @ But the other disciples came in the boat, dragging the net full of fish, for they were not far from land, but about a hundred yards off.

tcent@John:21:11 @ Simon Peter went aboard and dragged the net ashore, full of large fish, one hundred and fifty-three; and although there were so many, the net was not torn.

tcent@John:21:12 @ Jesus said to them, »Come and have breakfast.« Now none of the disciples dared ask him, »Who are you?« They knew it was the Lord.

tcent@John:21:14 @ This was now the third time Jesus appeared to his disciples after he was raised from the dead.

tcent@John:21:15 @ When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, »Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?« He said to him, »Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.« He said to him, »Feed my lambs.«

tcent@John:21:16 @ He said to him again a second time, »Simon, son of John, do you love me?« He said to him, »Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.« He said to him, »Tend my sheep.«

tcent@John:21:17 @ He said to him the third time, »Simon, son of John, do you love me?« Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, »Do you love me?« And he said to him, »Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you.« Jesus said to him, »Feed my sheep.

tcent@John:21:18 @ Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were younger, you girded yourself and walked where you wished; but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will gird you and carry you where you do not wish to go.«

tcent@John:21:23 @ Then the saying spread among the brethren that this disciple would not die. Yet Jesus did not say to him that he would not die, but, »If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you?«

tcent@John:21:24 @ This is the disciple who testifies to these things, and who wrote these things; and we know that his testimony is true.

tcent@John:21:25 @ But there are also many other things which Jesus did. If every one of them were to be written, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that would be written.

tcent@Acts:2:5 @ Now there were Jews living in Jerusalem, devout men from every nation under heaven.

tcent@Acts:2:7 @ They were amazed and wondered, saying, »Are not all these who are speaking Galileans?

tcent@Acts:2:12 @ And they were all amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, »What does this mean?«

tcent@Acts:2:14 @ But Peter, taking his stand with the eleven, raised his voice and addressed them: »Men of Judea and all you who live in Jerusalem, let this be known to you and give heed to my words.

tcent@Acts:2:15 @ For these men are not drunk, as you suppose, since it is only the third hour of the day;

tcent@Acts:2:22 @ »Men of Israel, listen to these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested to you by God with miracles and wonders and signs which God did through him in your midst, as you yourselves know—

tcent@Acts:2:23 @ this man, delivered over by the predetermined plan and foreknowledge of God, you nailed to a cross by the hands of godless men and put him to death.

tcent@Acts:2:34 @ For David did not ascend into heaven, but he says himself:

tcent@Acts:2:36 @ Therefore let all the house of Israel know for certain that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified.«

tcent@Acts:2:37 @ Now when they heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, »Brethren, what shall we do?«

tcent@Acts:3:1 @ Now Peter and John were going up to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour.

tcent@Acts:3:6 @ But Peter said, »I do not have silver and gold, but I give you what I have; in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.«

tcent@Acts:3:16 @ And his name, by faith in his name, has made this man strong whom you see and know; and the faith which comes through Jesus has given him perfect health in the presence of you all.

tcent@Acts:3:17 @ And now, brethren, I know that you acted in ignorance, as did also your rulers.

tcent@Acts:3:23 @ And it shall be that every soul that does not listen to that prophet will be destroyed from among the people.’

tcent@Acts:3:24 @ And likewise, all the prophets who have spoken, from Samuel and those who came afterwards, also announced these days.

tcent@Acts:4:10 @ be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by him this man stands before you healed.

tcent@Acts:4:12 @ And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.«

tcent@Acts:4:13 @ Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated, common men, they were astonished; and they recognized that they had been with Jesus.

tcent@Acts:4:14 @ And seeing the man who had been healed standing with them, they had nothing to say in reply.

tcent@Acts:4:15 @ But when they had ordered them to leave the Council, they conferred with one another,

tcent@Acts:4:16 @ saying, »What shall we do with these men? For that a noteworthy miracle has been performed through them is apparent to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it.

tcent@Acts:4:17 @ But in order that it may spread no further among the people, let us warn them to speak no longer to any one in this name.«

tcent@Acts:4:18 @ Then they called them in again and commanded them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus.

tcent@Acts:4:20 @ for we cannot stop speaking about what we have seen and heard.«

tcent@Acts:4:21 @ And when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding no way to punish them, because of the people; for all the people were praising God for what had happened.

tcent@Acts:4:27 @ For truly in this city there were gathered together against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, along with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel,

tcent@Acts:4:29 @ And now, Lord, look upon their threats, and grant to your servants to speak your word with all boldness,

tcent@Acts:4:32 @ Now the company of those who believed were of one heart and soul, and no one claimed that any of the things which he possessed was his own, but they had everything in common.

tcent@Acts:4:34 @ For there was not a needy person among them, For all who were owners of land or houses sold them and brought the proceeds of the sales

tcent@Acts:5:2 @ and with his wife's full knowledge he kept back some of the money for himself, and brought only a part and laid it at the apostles' feet.

tcent@Acts:5:4 @ While it remained unsold, did it not remain your own? And after it was sold, was it not at your disposal? How is it that you have conceived this deed in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God.«

tcent@Acts:5:7 @ After an interval of about three hours his wife came in, not knowing what had happened.

tcent@Acts:5:12 @ Now many signs and wonders were done among the people by the hands of the apostles. And they were all together in Solomon's Porch.

tcent@Acts:5:13 @ None of the rest dared join them, but the people held them in high honor.

tcent@Acts:5:21 @ And when they heard this, they entered into the temple about daybreak and began to teach. Now when the high priest and his associates came, they called the Council together, even all the Senate of the sons of Israel, and sent orders to the prison house for them to be brought.

tcent@Acts:5:22 @ But when the officers came, they did not find them in the prison, and they returned and reported back,

tcent@Acts:5:23 @ »We found the prison securely locked, and the guards standing at the doors; but when we opened them, we found no one inside.«

tcent@Acts:5:24 @ Now when the captain of the temple guard and the chief priests heard these words, they were much perplexed about them, wondering what would come of this.

tcent@Acts:5:28 @ saying, »We gave you strict orders not to teach in this name, and yet, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and intend to bring this man's blood upon us.«

tcent@Acts:5:34 @ But a Pharisee in the council named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, held in honor by all the people, stood up and ordered the men to be put outside for a while.

tcent@Acts:5:36 @ For some time ago Theudas rose up, claiming to be somebody, and a group of about four hundred men joined him. But he was killed, and all who followed him were dispersed and came to nothing.

tcent@Acts:5:39 @ but if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow them; or else you may even be found fighting against God.«

tcent@Acts:5:40 @ So they took his advice, and they called the apostles in and had them flogged. Then they ordered them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.

tcent@Acts:5:41 @ Then they left the presence of the council, rejoicing that they had been counted worthy to suffer dishonor for the name.

tcent@Acts:6:1 @ Now in those days when the number of disciples was increasing, the Hellenistic Jews among them complained against the native Hebrews because their widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution of food.

tcent@Acts:6:2 @ So the twelve summoned the congregation of the disciples and said, »It is not right for us to neglect the word of God in order to serve tables.

tcent@Acts:6:5 @ And the statement pleased the whole congregation; and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, and Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas and Nicolas, a proselyte from Antioch.

tcent@Acts:6:10 @ But they could not stand against the wisdom and the Spirit with which he spoke.

tcent@Acts:7:4 @ Then he left the land of the Chaldeans and settled in Haran. From there, after his father died, God had him move to this country in which you are now living.

tcent@Acts:7:5 @ But He gave him no inheritance in it, not even a foot of ground, and yet, even though he had no child, he promised that he would give it to him as a possession, and to his descendants after him.

tcent@Acts:7:10 @ and rescued him from all his afflictions, and gave him favor and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and he made him governor over Egypt and all his household.

tcent@Acts:7:11 @ Now there came a famine throughout all Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction, and our fathers could find no food.

tcent@Acts:7:13 @ At the second visit Joseph made himself known to his brothers, and Joseph's family was made known to Pharaoh.

tcent@Acts:7:18 @ until there arose another king over Egypt who knew nothing about Joseph.

tcent@Acts:7:19 @ He dealt craftily with our race and forced our fathers to expose their infants, so that they would not survive.

tcent@Acts:7:25 @ And he supposed that his brethren understood that God was granting them deliverance through him, but they did not understand.

tcent@Acts:7:32 @ ‘I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob.’ Moses trembled with fear and did not dare to look.

tcent@Acts:7:34 @ I have certainly seen the oppression of my people in Egypt and have heard their groaning, and I have come down to rescue them. Come now, and I will send you to Egypt.’

tcent@Acts:7:40 @ saying to Aaron, ‘Make for us gods who will go before us; as for this Moses who led us out from the land of Egypt—we do not know what has happened to him.’

tcent@Acts:7:48 @ However, the Most High does not dwell in houses made by human hands; as the prophet says:

tcent@Acts:7:52 @ Which of the prophets did not your fathers persecute? And they killed those who announced beforehand the coming of the Righteous One, whom you have now betrayed and murdered,

tcent@Acts:7:53 @ you who received the law as delivered by angels, and yet did not keep it.«

tcent@Acts:7:54 @ Now when they heard this they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed their teeth at him.

tcent@Acts:7:60 @ Then he fell on his knees and cried out with a loud voice, »Lord, do not hold this sin against them.« And when he had said this, he fell asleep.

tcent@Acts:8:4 @ Now those who had been scattered went about preaching the word.

tcent@Acts:8:9 @ Now there was a man named Simon, who had formerly practiced magic in the city and amazed all the people of Samaria. He boasted that he was someone great,

tcent@Acts:8:14 @ Now when the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent them Peter and John,

tcent@Acts:8:16 @ For he had not yet fallen upon any of them; they had simply been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

tcent@Acts:8:18 @ Now when Simon saw that the Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles' hands, he offered them money,

tcent@Acts:8:21 @ You have no part or share in this matter, for your heart is not right before God.

tcent@Acts:8:24 @ And Simon answered, »Pray for me to the Lord, so that nothing of what you have said may come upon me.«

tcent@Acts:8:25 @ Now when they had testified and spoken the word of the Lord, they returned to Jerusalem, preaching the gospel to many villages of the Samaritans.

tcent@Acts:8:32 @ Now the passage of Scripture which he was reading was this:

tcent@Acts:8:39 @ And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away; and the eunuch saw him no more, but went on his way rejoicing.

tcent@Acts:9:1 @ Now Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest,

tcent@Acts:9:3 @ Now as he journeyed he approached Damascus, and suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him.

tcent@Acts:9:7 @ The men who were traveling with him stood speechless, hearing the voice but seeing no one.

tcent@Acts:9:8 @ Saul got up from the ground; and when his eyes were opened, he could see nothing; so they led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus.

tcent@Acts:9:9 @ And for three days he was without sight, and neither ate nor drank.

tcent@Acts:9:10 @ Now there was a disciple at Damascus named Ananias; and the Lord said to him in a vision, »Ananias.« And he said, »Here I am, Lord.«

tcent@Acts:9:21 @ All those who heard him were amazed, and said, »Is this not he who made havoc in Jerusalem of those who called on this name, and who had come here for the purpose of bringing them bound before the chief priests?«

tcent@Acts:9:24 @ but their plot became known to Saul. They were watching the gates day and night, to kill him;

tcent@Acts:9:26 @ When he came to Jerusalem, he tried to join the disciples; but they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.

tcent@Acts:9:32 @ Now as Peter went through all those regions, he came down also to the saints who lived at Lydda.

tcent@Acts:9:36 @ Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha (which is translated Dorcas). She was full of good works and acts of charity.

tcent@Acts:9:42 @ It became known all over Joppa, and many believed in the Lord.

tcent@Acts:10:1 @ At Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion of what was known as the Italian Cohort,

tcent@Acts:10:5 @ Now send men to Joppa, and bring a man named Simon who is called Peter;

tcent@Acts:10:14 @ But Peter said, »No, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean.«

tcent@Acts:10:15 @ And the voice came to him again a second time, »What God has cleansed, you must not call common.«

tcent@Acts:10:17 @ Now while Peter was inwardly perplexed as to what the vision which he had seen might mean, behold, the men that were sent by Cornelius, having made inquiry for Simon's house, appeared at the gate.

tcent@Acts:10:18 @ They called out, asking whether Simon who was known as Peter was staying there.

tcent@Acts:10:24 @ On the following day he entered Caesarea. Now Cornelius was expecting them and had called together his relatives and close friends.

tcent@Acts:10:28 @ And he said to them, »You yourselves know how unlawful it is for a Jew to associate with a foreigner or to visit him; but God has shown me that I should not call any man common or unclean.

tcent@Acts:10:33 @ So I sent for you immediately, and you have been kind enough to come. Now therefore we are all here present in the sight of God, to hear all that you have been commanded by the Lord.«

tcent@Acts:10:34 @ And opening his mouth, Peter said: »I most certainly understand now that God is not one to show partiality,

tcent@Acts:10:36 @ You know the word which he sent to Israel, preaching good news of peace through Jesus Christ (he is Lord of all).

tcent@Acts:10:37 @ You know what has happened throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee after the baptism which John preached:

tcent@Acts:10:38 @ how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, and how he went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.

tcent@Acts:10:41 @ not to all the people but to us who were chosen by God as witnesses, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.

tcent@Acts:11:1 @ Now the apostles and the brethren who were throughout Judea heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God.

tcent@Acts:11:8 @ But I said, ‘No, Lord; for nothing common or unclean has ever entered my mouth.’

tcent@Acts:11:9 @ But the voice answered a second time from heaven, ‘What God has cleansed you must not call common.’

tcent@Acts:11:12 @ The Spirit told me to go with them with no hesitation. These six brethren also went with me, and we entered the man's house.

tcent@Acts:11:19 @ Now those who were scattered because of the persecution that arose in connection with Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia and Cyprus and Antioch, speaking the word to no one except Jews.

tcent@Acts:11:27 @ Now at this time some prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.

tcent@Acts:12:1 @ Now about that time Herod the king laid hands on some who belonged to the church in order to persecute them.

tcent@Acts:12:9 @ So he went out and followed him; and he did not know that what was done by the angel was real, but thought he was seeing a vision.

tcent@Acts:12:11 @ When Peter came to himself, he said, »Now I know for sure that the Lord has sent his angel and rescued me from the hand of Herod and from all that the Jewish people were expecting.«

tcent@Acts:12:13 @ And when he knocked at the door of the gate, a servant-girl named Rhoda came to answer.

tcent@Acts:12:14 @ When she recognized Peter's voice, in her joy she did not open the gate, but ran in and announced that Peter was standing in front of the gate.

tcent@Acts:12:16 @ But Peter continued knocking; and when they opened the door, they saw him and were amazed.

tcent@Acts:12:17 @ But motioning to them with his hand to be silent, he described to them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, »Tell this to James and to the brethren.« Then he left and went to another place.

tcent@Acts:12:18 @ Now when day came, there was no small disturbance among the soldiers as to what had become of Peter.

tcent@Acts:12:19 @ When Herod had searched for him and could not find him, he examined the guards and ordered that they be put to death. Then he went down from Judea to Caesarea and stayed there a while.

tcent@Acts:12:20 @ Now he was angry with the people of Tyre and Sidon; and they came to him in a body, and having persuaded Blastus, the king's chamberlain, they asked for peace, because their country depended on the king’s country for food.

tcent@Acts:12:22 @ And the people shouted, »The voice of a god and not of a man!«

tcent@Acts:12:23 @ Immediately an angel of the Lord struck him because he did not give God the glory, and he was eaten by worms and died.

tcent@Acts:13:1 @ Now in the church that was at Antioch there were prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

tcent@Acts:13:10 @ and said, »You who are full of all deceit and fraud, you son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not stop making crooked the straight ways of the Lord?

tcent@Acts:13:11 @ Now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you will be blind and unable to see the sun for a time.« And immediately a mist and a darkness fell upon him, and he went about seeking someone to lead him by the hand.

tcent@Acts:13:13 @ Now Paul and his companions put out to sea from Paphos and came to Perga in Pamphylia; but John left them and returned to Jerusalem.

tcent@Acts:13:25 @ And as John was completing his course, he said, ‘What do you suppose that I am? I am not he. No, but after me one is coming, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.’

tcent@Acts:13:27 @ For those who live in Jerusalem and their rulers, because they did not recognize him nor the utterances of the prophets which are read every Sabbath, fulfilled these by condemning him.

tcent@Acts:13:28 @ Though they found no ground for a death sentence, they asked Pilate to have him executed.

tcent@Acts:13:31 @ and for many days he appeared to those who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are now his witnesses to the people.

tcent@Acts:13:34 @ As for the fact that he raised him from the dead, no more to return to decay, he spoke in this way:

tcent@Acts:13:35 @ Therefore he also says in another Psalm,

tcent@Acts:13:37 @ but he whom God raised did not see decay.

tcent@Acts:13:38 @ Therefore let it be known to you, brethren, that through him forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you,

tcent@Acts:13:39 @ and through him everyone who believes is freed from everything from which you could not be freed by the law of Moses.

tcent@Acts:13:40 @ Therefore take care, so that what is said in the prophets may not come upon you:

tcent@Acts:14:1 @ Now at Iconium they entered together into the Jewish synagogue, and so spoke that a great number believed, both of Jews and of Greeks.

tcent@Acts:14:8 @ At Lystra there was a man sitting who had no strength in his feet, lame from birth, who had never walked.

tcent@Acts:14:17 @ yet he did not leave himself without witness, in that he did good and gave you rains from heaven and fruitful seasons, satisfying your hearts with food and gladness.«

tcent@Acts:15:1 @ But some men came down from Judea and were teaching the brethren, »Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved.«

tcent@Acts:15:2 @ And when Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and debate with them, Paul and Barnabas and some of the others were appointed to go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and the elders about this question.

tcent@Acts:15:7 @ After there had been much debate, Peter stood up and said to them, »Brethren, you know that in the early days God made a choice among you, that by my mouth the Gentiles would hear the word of the gospel and believe.

tcent@Acts:15:8 @ And God, who knows the heart, bore witness to them giving them the Holy Spirit, just as he also did to us;

tcent@Acts:15:9 @ and he made no distinction between us and them, but cleansed their hearts by faith.

tcent@Acts:15:10 @ Now therefore why do you test God by putting upon the neck of the disciples a yoke which neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear?

tcent@Acts:15:19 @ Therefore it is my judgment that we should not trouble those who are turning to God from among the Gentiles,

tcent@Acts:15:24 @ Since we have heard that some persons from us have disturbed you with words, unsettling your minds, although we gave them no instructions,

tcent@Acts:15:28 @ For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to lay upon you no greater burden than these essentials:

tcent@Acts:15:38 @ But Paul kept insisting that they should not take along one who had deserted them in Pamphylia, and had not gone with them to the work.

tcent@Acts:15:39 @ There arose such a sharp disagreement that they separated from one another, and Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed away to Cyprus.

tcent@Acts:16:7 @ And when they came to Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them;

tcent@Acts:16:18 @ She continued doing this for many days. But Paul was greatly annoyed, and turned and said to the spirit, »I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her!« And it came out at that very moment.

tcent@Acts:16:21 @ They advocate customs which it is not lawful for us Romans to accept or practice.«

tcent@Acts:16:28 @ But Paul cried with a loud voice, »Do not harm yourself, for we are all here!«

tcent@Acts:16:36 @ And the jailer reported these words to Paul, saying, »The chief magistrates have sent to release you. Therefore come out now and go in peace.«

tcent@Acts:16:37 @ But Paul said to them, »They have beaten us publicly, without trial, men who are Roman citizens, and have thrown us into prison; and do they now cast us out secretly? No! Let them come themselves and take us out.«

tcent@Acts:17:1 @ Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews.

tcent@Acts:17:4 @ And some of them were persuaded, and joined Paul and Silas; as did a large number of the God-fearing Greeks and not a few of the leading women.

tcent@Acts:17:6 @ When they did not find them, they dragged Jason and some of the brethren before the city authorities, shouting, »These men who have turned the world upside down have come here also,

tcent@Acts:17:7 @ and Jason has welcomed them, and they are all acting against the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus.«

tcent@Acts:17:11 @ Now these were more noble-minded than those in Thessalonica, for they received the word with great eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so.

tcent@Acts:17:15 @ Now those who escorted Paul brought him as far as Athens; and receiving a command for Silas and Timothy to come to him as soon as possible, they left.

tcent@Acts:17:16 @ Now while Paul was waiting for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him as he saw that the city was full of idols.

tcent@Acts:17:19 @ And they took hold of him and brought him to the Areopagus, saying, »May we know what this new teaching is which you present?

tcent@Acts:17:20 @ For you are bringing some strange things to our ears; so we want to know what these things mean.«

tcent@Acts:17:21 @ (Now all the Athenians and the foreigners who lived there spent their time in nothing other than telling or hearing something new.)

tcent@Acts:17:23 @ For as I passed along, and observed the objects of your worship, I found also an altar with this inscription, What therefore you worship as unknown, this I proclaim to you.

tcent@Acts:17:24 @ The God who made the world and everything in it, since he is Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by hands;

tcent@Acts:17:25 @ nor is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives to all men life and breath and everything.

tcent@Acts:17:27 @ that they would seek God, if perhaps they might grope for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us.

tcent@Acts:17:29 @ Being then God's offspring, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by the art and imagination of man.

tcent@Acts:17:30 @ The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent,

tcent@Acts:17:32 @ Now when they heard about the resurrection of the dead, some of them sneered, but others said, »We want to hear you again on this subject.«

tcent@Acts:18:6 @ But when they opposed him and blasphemed, he shook out his garments and said to them, »Your blood be on your own heads! I am clean. From now on I will go to the Gentiles.«

tcent@Acts:18:9 @ And the Lord said to Paul one night in a vision, »Do not be afraid, but go on speaking and do not be silent;

tcent@Acts:18:10 @ for I am with you, and no man will attack you to harm you, for I have many people in this city.«

tcent@Acts:18:17 @ And they all seized Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him in front of the judgment seat. But Gallio paid no attention to this.

tcent@Acts:18:19 @ They came to Ephesus, and he left them there. Now he himself went into the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews.

tcent@Acts:18:24 @ Now a Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, came to Ephesus. He was an eloquent man, well versed in the scriptures.

tcent@Acts:19:2 @ And he said to them, »Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?« And they said, »No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.«

tcent@Acts:19:15 @ But the evil spirit answered them, »Jesus I know, and I know about Paul, but who are you?«

tcent@Acts:19:17 @ This became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, who lived in Ephesus; and fear fell upon them all and the name of the Lord Jesus was being magnified.

tcent@Acts:19:18 @ Many also of those who believed now came, confessing and disclosing their practices.

tcent@Acts:19:21 @ Now after these things were finished, Paul purposed in the spirit to go to Jerusalem after he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, saying, »After I have been there, I must also see Rome.«

tcent@Acts:19:23 @ About that time there arose no small disturbance concerning the Way.

tcent@Acts:19:24 @ For a man named Demetrius, a silversmith, who made silver shrines of Artemis, brought no little business to the craftsmen.

tcent@Acts:19:25 @ These he gathered together, with the workmen of similar trades, and said, »Men, you know that from this business we have our wealth.

tcent@Acts:19:26 @ And you see and hear that not only in Ephesus, but in almost all of Asia, this Paul has persuaded and turned away a considerable number of people, saying that gods made with hands are no gods at all.

tcent@Acts:19:27 @ Not only is there danger that this trade of ours fall into disrepute, but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis be regarded as worthless and that she whom all of Asia and the world worship will even be dethroned from her magnificence.«

tcent@Acts:19:30 @ Paul wanted to go in among the crowd, but the disciples would not let him.

tcent@Acts:19:31 @ Some of the Asiarchs also, who were friends of his, sent to him and begged him not to venture into the theater.

tcent@Acts:19:32 @ Now some were shouting one thing, some another; for the assembly was in confusion, and most of the people did not know why they had come together.

tcent@Acts:19:35 @ And when the town clerk had quieted the crowd, he said, »Men of Ephesus, what man is there after all who does not know that the city of the Ephesians is guardian of the temple of the great Artemis and of the image which fell down from heaven?

tcent@Acts:19:36 @ Therefore, since these facts are undeniable, you ought to be quiet and do nothing rash.

tcent@Acts:19:37 @ For you have brought these men here who are neither robbers of temples nor blasphemers of our goddess.

tcent@Acts:19:38 @ If then Demetrius and the craftsmen with him have a complaint against anyone, the courts are open, and there are proconsuls; let them bring charges against one another.

tcent@Acts:19:40 @ As it is, we are in danger of being charged with rioting because of today's events. In that case we would not be able to account for this commotion, since there is no reason for it.«

tcent@Acts:20:10 @ But Paul went down and fell on him, and after embracing him, he said, »Do not be alarmed, for his life is in him.«

tcent@Acts:20:18 @ And when they came to him, he said to them: »You yourselves know how I lived the whole time I was with you, from the first day that I set foot in Asia,

tcent@Acts:20:20 @ how I did not shrink from declaring to you anything that was profitable, and teaching you publicly and from house to house,

tcent@Acts:20:22 @ And now, behold, bound in the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there,

tcent@Acts:20:24 @ But I do not consider my life of any account nor as precious to myself, if only I may finish my course and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.

tcent@Acts:20:25 @ And now, behold, I know that all of you among whom I have gone about preaching the kingdom will see my face no more.

tcent@Acts:20:26 @ Therefore, I testify to you this day that I am innocent of the blood of all men.

tcent@Acts:20:27 @ For I did not shrink from declaring to you the whole counsel of God.

tcent@Acts:20:29 @ I know that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock;

tcent@Acts:20:31 @ Therefore be alert, remembering that for three years I did not cease night and day to admonish each one with tears.

tcent@Acts:20:32 @ And now I commend you to God and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified.

tcent@Acts:20:33 @ I have coveted no one's silver or gold or clothes.

tcent@Acts:20:38 @ grieving most of all over the word which he had spoken, that they would not see his face again. And they accompanied him to the ship.

tcent@Acts:21:4 @ And having sought out the disciples, we stayed there for seven days. Through the Spirit they told Paul not to go on to Jerusalem.

tcent@Acts:21:5 @ And when our days there were ended, we left and started on our journey, while they all, with wives and children, brought us on our way until we were out of the city. After kneeling down on the beach and praying, we said farewell to one another.

tcent@Acts:21:12 @ When we heard this, we and the people there begged him not to go up to Jerusalem.

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

tcent@Acts:21:14 @ And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased and said, »The will of the Lord be done.«

tcent@Acts:21:21 @ and they have been told about you that you teach all the Jews who are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children or to walk according to the customs.

tcent@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.

tcent@Acts:21:26 @ The next day Paul took the men and purified himself along with them. Then he went to the temple to give notice of the date when the days of purification would end and the offering would be made for each one of them.

tcent@Acts:21:34 @ Some in the crowd shouted one thing, and some another; and as he could not learn the facts because of the uproar, he ordered him to be brought into the barracks.

tcent@Acts:21:37 @ As Paul was about to be brought into the barracks, he said to the commander, »May I say something to you?« And he said, »Do you know Greek?

tcent@Acts:21:38 @ Then you are not the Egyptian who some time ago stirred up a revolt and led the four thousand men of the Assassins out into the wilderness?«

tcent@Acts:21:39 @ Paul replied, »I am a Jew, from Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no insignificant city; I beg you, let me speak to the people.«

tcent@Acts:22:1 @ »Brethren and fathers, hear my defense which I now offer to you.«

tcent@Acts:22:6 @ »As I made my journey and drew near to Damascus, about noon a bright light from heaven suddenly flashed around me.

tcent@Acts:22:9 @ And those who were with me saw the light, but did not hear the voice of the one who was speaking to me.

tcent@Acts:22:11 @ But since I could not see because of the brightness of that light, I was led by the hand by those who were with me and came into Damascus.

tcent@Acts:22:14 @ Then he said, ‘The God of our fathers has appointed you to know his will and to see the Righteous One and to hear words from his mouth.

tcent@Acts:22:16 @ Now why do you delay? Get up and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on his name.’

tcent@Acts:22:18 @ and saw him saying to me, ‘Make haste, and get out of Jerusalem quickly, because they will not accept your testimony about me.’

tcent@Acts:22:19 @ And I said, ‘Lord, they themselves know that in one synagogue after another I used to imprison and beat those who believed in you.

tcent@Acts:22:22 @ Up to this word they listened to him, and then they raised their voices and said, »Away with such a fellow from the earth! For he ought not to live.«

tcent@Acts:22:30 @ But on the next day, wishing to know for certain why he had been accused by the Jews, he released him and ordered the chief priests and all the Council to assemble, and brought Paul down and set him before them.

tcent@Acts:23:5 @ And Paul said, »I did not know, brethren, that he was the high priest; for it is written, ‘You shall not speak evil of a ruler of your people.’«

tcent@Acts:23:8 @ For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, nor an angel, nor a spirit, but the Pharisees acknowledge them all.

tcent@Acts:23:9 @ There occurred a great uproar; and some of the scribes of the Pharisees' party stood up and began to argue heatedly, saying, »We find nothing wrong with this man. What if a spirit or an angel has spoken to him?«

tcent@Acts:23:12 @ When it was day, the Jews formed a conspiracy and bound themselves by an oath neither to eat nor drink until they had killed Paul.

tcent@Acts:23:14 @ They went to the chief priests and the elders and said, »We have bound ourselves under a solemn oath to taste nothing until we have killed Paul.

tcent@Acts:23:15 @ You therefore, along with the council, give notice now to the commander 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.«

tcent@Acts:23:21 @ But do not yield to them; for more than forty of them are waiting in ambush for him, having bound themselves by an oath neither to eat nor drink until they have killed him; and now they are ready, waiting for the promise from you.«

tcent@Acts:23:22 @ So the commander dismissed the young man, instructing him, »Tell no one that you have informed me of this.«

tcent@Acts:23:24 @ Also provide mounts for Paul to ride, and bring him safely to Felix the governor.«

tcent@Acts:23:26 @ »Claudius Lysias, to His Excellency, Governor Felix: greetings.

tcent@Acts:23:28 @ And desiring to know the charge for which they were accusing him, I brought him down to their council.

tcent@Acts:23:29 @ I found that he was accused over questions about their Law, but there was no accusation against him deserving death or imprisonment.

tcent@Acts:23:33 @ When these had come to Caesarea and delivered the letter to the governor, they also presented Paul to him.

tcent@Acts:24:1 @ After five days the high priest Ananias came down with some elders, with an attorney named Tertullus, and they brought their charges against Paul before the governor.

tcent@Acts:24:3 @ we acknowledge this in every way and everywhere, most excellent Felix, with all gratitude.

tcent@Acts:24:4 @ But, that I may not weary you further, I beg you in your kindness to hear us briefly.

tcent@Acts:24:10 @ When the governor had motioned for him to speak, Paul replied: »Realizing that for many years you have been a judge over this nation, I cheerfully make my defense.

tcent@Acts:24:11 @ Since you can easily verify that no more than twelve days ago I went up to Jerusalem to worship.

tcent@Acts:24:12 @ They did not find me disputing with anyone or stirring up a crowd, either in the temple or in the synagogues, or in the city.

tcent@Acts:24:13 @ Neither can they prove to you the charges they are now making against me.

tcent@Acts:24:17 @ Now after several years I came to bring alms to my nation and to present offerings.

tcent@Acts:24:22 @ But Felix, having a more exact knowledge about the Way, put them off, saying, »When Lysias the commander comes down, I will decide your case.«

tcent@Acts:24:23 @ Then he gave orders to the centurion for him to be kept in custody but have some freedom, and not to prevent any of his friends from ministering to his needs.

tcent@Acts:25:6 @ After he had spent not more than eight or ten days among them, he went down to Caesarea, and on the next day he took his seat on the tribunal and ordered Paul to be brought.

tcent@Acts:25:7 @ And when Paul arrived, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood around him, bringing many serious charges against him, which they could not prove.

tcent@Acts:25:8 @ Paul said in his defense, »Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar have I offended at all.«

tcent@Acts:25:10 @ But Paul said, »I am standing before Caesar's tribunal, where I ought to be tried. I have done no wrong to the Jews, as you also very well know.

tcent@Acts:25:11 @ If, then, I am a wrongdoer and have committed anything worthy of death, I do not refuse to die; but if none of the charges brought against me is true, no one can hand me over to them. I appeal to Caesar.«

tcent@Acts:25:13 @ Now when a few days had passed, King Agrippa and Bernice arrived at Caesarea and paid their respects to Festus.

tcent@Acts:25:16 @ I answered them that it is not the custom of the Romans to hand over any man before the accused meets his accusers face to face and has an opportunity to make his defense against the charges.

tcent@Acts:25:17 @ When therefore they came together here, I did not delay, but on the next day took my seat on the tribunal and ordered the man to be brought in.

tcent@Acts:25:18 @ When the accusers stood up, they did not charge him of such crimes as I had expected,

tcent@Acts:25:24 @ 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.

tcent@Acts:25:25 @ But I found that he had done nothing deserving of death; and as he himself appealed to the emperor, I decided to send him.

tcent@Acts:25:26 @ But I have nothing definite about him to write to my lord. Therefore I have brought him before you all and especially before you, King Agrippa, so that after the investigation has taken place, I may have something to write.

tcent@Acts:25:27 @ For it seems to me unreasonable, in sending a prisoner, not to indicate the charges against him.«

tcent@Acts:26:4 @ So then, all the Jews know my manner of life from my youth up, which from the beginning was spent among my own nation and at Jerusalem.

tcent@Acts:26:5 @ They have known about me for a long time, if they are willing to testify, that I lived as a Pharisee according to the strictest sect of our religion.

tcent@Acts:26:6 @ And now I am standing trial for the hope of the promise made by God to our fathers;

tcent@Acts:26:10 @ And that is just what I did in Jerusalem; I not only shut up many of the saints in prison, by authority from the chief priests, but when they were put to death I cast my vote against them.

tcent@Acts:26:19 @ »So, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision,

tcent@Acts:26:22 @ To this day I have had the help that comes from God, and so I stand here testifying both to small and great, saying nothing but what the prophets and Moses said would happen:

tcent@Acts:26:25 @ But Paul said, »I am not mad, most excellent Festus, but I am speaking the sober truth.

tcent@Acts:26:26 @ For the king knows about these things, and to him I speak freely; for I am persuaded that none of these things has escaped his notice, for this was not done in a corner.

tcent@Acts:26:27 @ King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know that you do.«

tcent@Acts:26:29 @ And Paul said, »Whether in a short or a long time, 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.«

tcent@Acts:26:30 @ The king rose and the governor and Bernice, and those who were sitting with them,

tcent@Acts:26:31 @ and when they had gone aside, they began talking to one another, saying, »This man is not doing anything worthy of death or imprisonment.«

tcent@Acts:26:32 @ And Agrippa said to Festus, »This man could have been set free if he had not appealed to Caesar.«

tcent@Acts:27:7 @ When we had sailed slowly for a good many days, and with difficulty had arrived off Cnidus, since the wind did not allow us to go farther, we sailed under the lee of Crete, off Salmone.

tcent@Acts:27:9 @ As much time had been lost, and the voyage was now dangerous because the fast had already gone by, Paul advised them,

tcent@Acts:27:10 @ and said to them, »Men, I perceive that the voyage will be with injury and great loss, not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives.«

tcent@Acts:27:12 @ Because the harbor was not suitable to winter in, the majority reached a decision to put out to sea from there, on the chance that somehow they could reach Phoenix, a harbor of Crete, facing southwest and northwest, and spend the winter there.

tcent@Acts:27:14 @ But before very long there rushed down from the land a violent wind, called the northeaster;

tcent@Acts:27:15 @ and when the ship was caught in it and could not face the wind, we gave way to it and were driven along.

tcent@Acts:27:20 @ When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no small storm was raging on us, all hope of our being saved was finally abandoned.

tcent@Acts:27:21 @ When they had gone a long time without food, then Paul stood up among them and said, »Men, you should have followed my advice and not to have set sail from Crete and incurred this damage and loss.

tcent@Acts:27:22 @ Yet now I urge you to keep up your courage; for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.

tcent@Acts:27:24 @ and he said, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul; you must stand before Caesar; and behold, God has granted you all those who sail with you.’

tcent@Acts:27:31 @ Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, »Unless these men stay in the ship, you cannot be saved.«

tcent@Acts:27:33 @ As day was about to dawn, Paul urged them all to take some food, saying, »Today is the fourteenth day that you have been in suspense and without food, having taken nothing.

tcent@Acts:27:34 @ Therefore I urge you to take some food; it will give you strength, since not a hair is to perish from the head of any of you.«

tcent@Acts:27:38 @ When they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship by throwing out the wheat into the sea.

tcent@Acts:27:39 @ When day came, they could not recognize the land, but they did observe a bay with a beach, and they resolved to drive the ship onto it if they could.

tcent@Acts:27:42 @ The soldiers' plan was to kill the prisoners, so that none of them would swim away and escape.

tcent@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.«

tcent@Acts:28:5 @ However he shook the creature off into the fire and suffered no harm.

tcent@Acts:28:6 @ They waited, expecting him to swell up or suddenly fall down dead; but after they had waited a long time and saw nothing unusual happen to him, they changed their minds and said that he was a god.

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

tcent@Acts:28:10 @ They honored us in many ways; and when we were ready to sail, they furnished us with the supplies we needed.

tcent@Acts:28:17 @ After three days Paul called together the local leaders of the Jews; and when they had gathered, he said to them, »Brethren, though I had done nothing against our people or the customs of our fathers, yet I was delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans.

tcent@Acts:28:18 @ And when they had examined me, they were willing to release me because there was no ground for putting me to death.

tcent@Acts:28:19 @ But when the Jews objected, I was compelled to appeal to Caesar—not that I had any charge to bring against my own nation.

tcent@Acts:28:21 @ They said to him, »We have not received letters from Judea concerning you, and none of the brethren who have come here has reported or spoken anything bad about you.

tcent@Acts:28:22 @ But we desire to hear from you what your views are; for concerning this sect, we know that everywhere it is spoken against.«

tcent@Acts:28:24 @ Some were convinced by what he said, but others would not believe.

tcent@Acts:28:28 @ Therefore let it be known to you that this salvation of God has been sent to the Gentiles; they will listen.«

tcent@Romans:1:10 @ asking that somehow by God's will I may now at last find the way to come to you.

tcent@Romans:1:13 @ I do not want you to be unaware, brethren, that I often planned to come to you (but have been prevented from doing so until now) in order that I might have some harvest among you, just as I have had among the other Gentiles.

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

tcent@Romans:1:19 @ for what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them.

tcent@Romans:1:21 @ for although they knew God they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened.

tcent@Romans:1:24 @ Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves,

tcent@Romans:1:26 @ For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural.

tcent@Romans:1:27 @ And the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in their own persons the due penalty for their error.

tcent@Romans:1:28 @ And since they did not see fit to retain the knowledge of God, God gave them over to a base mind, to do what ought not to be done.

tcent@Romans:1:32 @ Though they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.

tcent@Romans:2:1 @ Therefore you have no excuse, O man, whoever you are who judge another; for in whatever point you pass judgment on him you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, are doing the very same things.

tcent@Romans:2:2 @ We know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who do such things.

tcent@Romans:2:4 @ Or do you presume upon the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience? Do you not know that God's kindness is meant to lead you to repentance?

tcent@Romans:2:7 @ to those who by patience in doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality, he will give eternal life;

tcent@Romans:2:8 @ but for those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey wickedness, there will be wrath and fury.

tcent@Romans:2:10 @ but glory, honor, and peace for everyone who does good, the Jew first and also the Greek.

tcent@Romans:2:11 @ For God shows no partiality.

tcent@Romans:2:13 @ For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous in the sight of God, but the doers of the law who will be justified.

tcent@Romans:2:14 @ When Gentiles, who have not the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law.

tcent@Romans:2:18 @ and know his will and approve of what is excellent, because you are instructed in the law,

tcent@Romans:2:20 @ an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of infants, having in the law the embodiment of knowledge and truth—

tcent@Romans:2:21 @ you, then, who teach others, do you not teach yourself? You who preach against stealing, do you steal?

tcent@Romans:2:22 @ You who say that one must not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?

tcent@Romans:2:23 @ You who boast in the law, do you dishonor God by breaking the law?

tcent@Romans:2:26 @ So, if a man who is uncircumcised keeps the requirements of the law, will not his uncircumcision be regarded as circumcision?

tcent@Romans:2:27 @ The one who is not circumcised physically and yet obeys the law will condemn you who, even though you have the written code and circumcision, are a breaker of the law.

tcent@Romans:2:28 @ For he is not a real Jew who is one outwardly, nor is true circumcision something outward and in the flesh.

tcent@Romans:2:29 @ He is a Jew who is one inwardly; and real circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit, and not by the written code. His praise is not from men but from God.

tcent@Romans:3:3 @ What if some did not have faith? Will their faithlessness nullify the faithfulness of God?

tcent@Romans:3:4 @ Certainly not! Let God be true, though every man a liar. As it is written:

tcent@Romans:3:6 @ Certainly not! For then how could God judge the world?

tcent@Romans:3:8 @ Why not say – as we are being slanderously reported as saying and as some claim that we say—»Let us do evil that good may come«? Their condemnation is just.

tcent@Romans:3:9 @ What then? Are we Jews any better off? Certainly not; for we have already charged that all men, both Jews and Greeks, are under the power of sin.

tcent@Romans:3:19 @ Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be stopped and the whole world may be held accountable to God.

tcent@Romans:3:20 @ Therefore no flesh will be justified in his sight by works of the law, for through the law comes knowledge of sin.

tcent@Romans:3:21 @ But now the righteousness of God has been revealed apart from law, although the law and the prophets bear witness to it,

tcent@Romans:3:22 @ the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. For there is no difference,

tcent@Romans:3:27 @ Where then is our boasting? It is excluded. On what law? On the law of works? No, but on the law of faith.

tcent@Romans:3:29 @ Or is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also,

tcent@Romans:3:31 @ Do we then nullify the law by this faith? Certainly not! On the contrary, we uphold the law.

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

tcent@Romans:4:4 @ Now to him who works, his wages are not reckoned as a gift but as his due.

tcent@Romans:4:5 @ And to one who does not work but trusts him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is reckoned as righteousness.

tcent@Romans:4:10 @ How then was it reckoned to him? Was it after he had been circumcised, or before? It was not after, but before he was circumcised.

tcent@Romans:4:11 @ And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness which he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised, that he might be the father of all who believe but have not been circumcised, in order that righteousness might be reckoned to them.

tcent@Romans:4:12 @ And he is also the father of the circumcised who are not only circumcised but who also walk in the footsteps of the faith which our father Abraham had before he was circumcised.

tcent@Romans:4:13 @ The promise to Abraham and his descendants, that he would be heir of the world, was not through the law but through the righteousness of faith.

tcent@Romans:4:14 @ For if those who are of the law are to be the heirs, faith has no value and the promise is void,

tcent@Romans:4:15 @ because the law brings wrath, for where there is no law there is no transgression.

tcent@Romans:4:16 @ Therefore, the promise comes by faith, so that it may be by grace and may be guaranteed to all his descendants—not only to those who are of the law but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham, for he is the father of us all

tcent@Romans:4:17 @ (as it is written, »I have made you the father of many nations«) in the presence of the God in whom he believed, who gives life to the dead and calls things that do not exist as though they did.

tcent@Romans:4:19 @ And he did not weaken in faith when he considered his own body, which was as good as dead since he was about a hundred years old, or when he considered the barrenness of Sarah's womb.

tcent@Romans:4:20 @ He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God,

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

tcent@Romans:5:3 @ And not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces perseverance;

tcent@Romans:5:5 @ And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.

tcent@Romans:5:9 @ Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved through him from the wrath of God.

tcent@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.

tcent@Romans:5:13 @ For sin was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not counted when there is no law.

tcent@Romans:5:14 @ Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those whose sins were not like the transgression of Adam, who was a type of the one who was to come.

tcent@Romans:5:15 @ But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if by the one man's trespass many died, much more the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many.

tcent@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 gift following many trespasses brings justification.

tcent@Romans:6:2 @ Certainly not! How can we who died to sin live any longer in it?

tcent@Romans:6:3 @ Or do you not know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?

tcent@Romans:6:6 @ We know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin.

tcent@Romans:6:8 @ Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him.

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

tcent@Romans:6:12 @ Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you obey its passions.

tcent@Romans:6:13 @ Do not yield your members to sin as instruments of wickedness, but yield yourselves to God as men who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments of righteousness.

tcent@Romans:6:14 @ For sin shall not have dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace.

tcent@Romans:6:15 @ What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not!

tcent@Romans:6:16 @ Do you not know that if you yield yourselves to any one to obey as slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, whether of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness?

tcent@Romans:6:19 @ I am speaking in human terms, because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you once yielded your members to impurity and to greater and greater iniquity, so now yield your members to righteousness for holiness.

tcent@Romans:6:21 @ But then what return did you get from the things of which you are now ashamed? The end of those things is death.

tcent@Romans:6:22 @ But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the return you get is holiness and its end, eternal life.

tcent@Romans:7:1 @ Do you not know, brethren—for I am speaking to those who know the law—that the law has authority over a man only as long as he lives?

tcent@Romans:7:3 @ So then, she will be called an adulteress if she lives with another man while her husband is alive. But if her husband dies, she is free from that law, and though she marries another man, she is not an adulteress.

tcent@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 was raised from the dead, in order that we may bear fruit to God.

tcent@Romans:7:6 @ But now, by dying to what once held us, we have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code.

tcent@Romans:7:7 @ What shall we say, then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! Indeed, I would not have known what sin was except through the law. For I would not have known what coveting really was if the law had not said, »You shall not covet.«

tcent@Romans:7:13 @ Did that which is good, then, become death to me? Certainly not! But it was sin, working death in me through what is good, in order that sin might be recognized as sin, so that through the commandment sin might become sinful beyond measure.

tcent@Romans:7:14 @ We know that the law is spiritual; but I am carnal, sold under sin.

tcent@Romans:7:15 @ I do not understand what I do. For I do not do what I want to do, but I do what I hate.

tcent@Romans:7:16 @ Now if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good.

tcent@Romans:7:17 @ So then, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me.

tcent@Romans:7:18 @ For I know that nothing good dwells within me, that is, in my flesh. I can will to do what is good, but I cannot do it.

tcent@Romans:7:19 @ For I do not do the good I want to do; but the evil I do not want to do is what I do.

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

tcent@Romans:7:23 @ but I see in my members another law, at war against the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin which dwells in my members.

tcent@Romans:8:1 @ There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

tcent@Romans:8:3 @ For what the law could not do, in that it was weakened through the flesh, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin: he condemned sin in the flesh,

tcent@Romans:8:4 @ in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

tcent@Romans:8:7 @ For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God's law, nor can it do so;

tcent@Romans:8:8 @ and those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

tcent@Romans:8:9 @ But you are not in the flesh, you are in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ he does not belong to him.

tcent@Romans:8:12 @ Therefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.

tcent@Romans:8:15 @ For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship by whom we cry out, »Abba, Father.«

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

tcent@Romans:8:20 @ For the creation was subjected to futility, not of its own will, but by the will of him who subjected it in hope;

tcent@Romans:8:22 @ We know that the whole creation has been groaning in birth pangs together until now.

tcent@Romans:8:23 @ And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.

tcent@Romans:8:24 @ For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees?

tcent@Romans:8:25 @ But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.

tcent@Romans:8:26 @ Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express.

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

tcent@Romans:8:28 @ And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who are called according to his purpose.

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

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

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

tcent@Romans:8:39 @ nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

tcent@Romans:9:1 @ I am speaking the truth in Christ, I am not lying; my conscience bears me witness in the Holy Spirit,

tcent@Romans:9:6 @ But it is not as though the word of God had failed. For not all who are descended from Israel are Israel,

tcent@Romans:9:7 @ nor are they all children of Abraham because they are his descendants; but, »Through Isaac shall your descendants be named.«

tcent@Romans:9:8 @ In other words, it is not the children of the flesh who are the children of God, but the children of the promise are reckoned as descendants.

tcent@Romans:9:10 @ And not only so, but also when Rebecca had conceived children by one man, our father Isaac,

tcent@Romans:9:11 @ though the twins were not yet born and had done nothing either good or bad, in order that God's purpose of election might stand, not because of works but because of his call,

tcent@Romans:9:14 @ What shall we say then? Is there injustice with God? Certainly not!

tcent@Romans:9:16 @ So it depends not upon man's will or exertion, but upon God's mercy.

tcent@Romans:9:21 @ Does not the potter have right over the clay, to make out of the same lump one vessel for honor and another for dishonor?

tcent@Romans:9:22 @ What if God, choosing to show his wrath and to make his power known, endured with much patience the vessels of wrath prepared for destruction,

tcent@Romans:9:23 @ in order to make known the riches of his glory for the vessels of mercy, which he has prepared beforehand for glory,

tcent@Romans:9:24 @ even us whom he has called, not from the Jews only, but also from the Gentiles?

tcent@Romans:9:30 @ What shall we say, then? That Gentiles who did not pursue righteousness have attained it, that is, righteousness through faith;

tcent@Romans:9:31 @ but Israel, who pursued the law of righteousness, has not attained that law.

tcent@Romans:9:32 @ Why? Because they did not pursue it by faith, but as if it were by works. They have stumbled over the stumbling stone,

tcent@Romans:10:2 @ For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but it is not according to knowledge.

tcent@Romans:10:3 @ For, being ignorant of the righteousness that comes from God, and seeking to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness.

tcent@Romans:10:6 @ But the righteousness based on faith says, »Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’« (that is, to bring Christ down)

tcent@Romans:10:11 @ The scripture says, »No one who believes in him will be put to shame.«

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

tcent@Romans:10:14 @ How then can they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how can they believe in him of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without a preacher?

tcent@Romans:10:16 @ But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, »Lord, who has believed our message?«

tcent@Romans:10:18 @ But I ask, have they not heard? Indeed they have; for

tcent@Romans:10:19 @ Again I ask, did Israel not understand? First Moses says,

tcent@Romans:11:1 @ I ask, then, has God rejected his people? Certainly not! I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, a member of the tribe of Benjamin.

tcent@Romans:11:2 @ God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew. Do you not know what the scripture says of Elijah, how he pleads with God against Israel?—

tcent@Romans:11:4 @ But what is God's reply to him? »I have reserved for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.«

tcent@Romans:11:6 @ And if it is by grace, then it is no longer on the basis of works; otherwise, grace would no longer be grace.

tcent@Romans:11:7 @ What then? Israel did not obtain what it sought. The elect obtained it, but the rest were hardened,

tcent@Romans:11:11 @ So I ask, have they stumbled so as to fall? Certainly not! But through their trespass salvation has come to the Gentiles, to make Israel jealous.

tcent@Romans:11:12 @ Now if their trespass means riches for the world, and if their failure means riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their fullness mean!

tcent@Romans:11:13 @ Now I am speaking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry

tcent@Romans:11:18 @ do not boast over the branches. If you do boast, remember that you do not support the root, but the root supports you.

tcent@Romans:11:20 @ That is true. They were broken off because of their unbelief, but you stand fast only by faith. So do not be proud, but stand in awe.

tcent@Romans:11:21 @ For if God did not spare the natural branches, he will not spare you either.

tcent@Romans:11:23 @ And they also, if they do not persist in unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.

tcent@Romans:11:25 @ I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers, so that you may not be conceited: Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in.

tcent@Romans:11:30 @ Just as you were once disobedient to God but now have received mercy because of their disobedience,

tcent@Romans:11:31 @ so they have now been disobedient in order that by the mercy shown to you they also may receive mercy.

tcent@Romans:11:33 @ Oh, the depth of the riches and of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and his ways past finding out!

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

tcent@Romans:12:3 @ For by the grace given to me I say to every one among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith which God has assigned him.

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

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

tcent@Romans:12:10 @ Be devoted to one another in brotherly love; outdo one another in showing honor.

tcent@Romans:12:14 @ Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.

tcent@Romans:12:16 @ Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but associate with the lowly. Do not be conceited.

tcent@Romans:12:17 @ Repay no one evil for evil, but have regard for what is noble in the sight of all.

tcent@Romans:12:19 @ Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God; for it is written, »Vengeance is mine, I will repay,« says the Lord.

tcent@Romans:12:20 @ No, »if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him drink; for in so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.«

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

tcent@Romans:13:1 @ Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist have been instituted by God.

tcent@Romans:13:3 @ For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to have no fear of him who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will have praise from him.

tcent@Romans:13:4 @ For he is God's servant to you for good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain; he is God’s servant, an avenger to execute wrath on the wrongdoer.

tcent@Romans:13:5 @ Therefore one must be subject, not only because of wrath but also for the sake of conscience.

tcent@Romans:13:7 @ Pay all of them their dues: taxes to whom taxes are due, revenue to whom revenue is due, respect to whom respect is due, honor to whom honor is due.

tcent@Romans:13:8 @ Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.

tcent@Romans:13:9 @ The commandments, »You shall not commit adultery,« »You shall not murder,« »You shall not steal,« »You shall not covet,« and any other commandment there may be, are summed up in this sentence, »You shall love your neighbor as yourself.«

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

tcent@Romans:13:11 @ And do this, knowing the hour, that now it is full time for you to wake from sleep. For now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed.

tcent@Romans:13:13 @ Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in reveling and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not in quarreling and jealousy.

tcent@Romans:13:14 @ But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.

tcent@Romans:14:1 @ As for the man who is weak in faith, accept him, but not for disputes over opinions.

tcent@Romans:14:3 @ Let not him who eats despise him who does not, and let not him who does not eat pass judgment on him who eats; for God has accepted him.

tcent@Romans:14:4 @ Who are you to judge the servant of another? To his own master he stands or falls. And he will be made to stand, for the Master is able to make him stand.

tcent@Romans:14:5 @ One man esteems one day as better than another; another man esteems every day alike. Let each one be fully convinced in his own mind.

tcent@Romans:14:7 @ For none of us lives to himself, and none of us dies to himself.

tcent@Romans:14:13 @ Therefore let us not pass judgment on one another anymore, but rather decide never to put a stumbling block or hindrance in our brother’s way.

tcent@Romans:14:14 @ I know and am convinced in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself; but if anyone regards something as unclean, then for him it is unclean.

tcent@Romans:14:15 @ If your brother is distressed because of what you eat, you are no longer walking in love. Do not by your eating destroy the one for whom Christ died.

tcent@Romans:14:16 @ So do not let your good be spoken of as evil.

tcent@Romans:14:17 @ For the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit;

tcent@Romans:14:20 @ Do not, for the sake of food, destroy the work of God. Everything is indeed clean, but it is wrong for a man to eat anything that causes someone else to stumble.

tcent@Romans:14:21 @ It is right not to eat meat or drink wine or do anything that makes your brother stumble.

tcent@Romans:14:22 @ The faith that you have, keep between yourself and God. Happy is he who does not condemn himself for what he approves.

tcent@Romans:14:23 @ But he who has doubts is condemned if he eats, because he does not act from faith; for whatever is not from faith is sin.

tcent@Romans:15:1 @ We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

tcent@Romans:15:3 @ For even Christ did not please himself; but, as it is written, »The reproaches of those who reproached you fell on me.«

tcent@Romans:15:5 @ May the God of patience and encouragement grant you to live in harmony with one another, according to Christ Jesus,

tcent@Romans:15:7 @ Therefore, welcome one another, just as Christ also welcomed you, to the glory of God.

tcent@Romans:15:14 @ I myself am satisfied about you, my brethren, that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, and able to instruct one another.

tcent@Romans:15:18 @ For I will not venture to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me to win obedience from the Gentiles, by word and deed—

tcent@Romans:15:20 @ And so I have made it my ambition to preach the gospel, not where Christ has already been named, lest I build on another man's foundation,

tcent@Romans:15:23 @ But now, since I no longer have any place for work in these regions, and since I have longed for many years to come to you,

tcent@Romans:15:25 @ Now, however, I am going to Jerusalem with aid for the saints.

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

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

tcent@Romans:16:4 @ who risked their necks for my life, to whom not only I but also all the churches of the Gentiles give thanks;

tcent@Romans:16:7 @ Greet Andronicus and Junias, my kinsmen and my fellow prisoners; they are men of note among the apostles, and they were in Christ before me.

tcent@Romans:16:16 @ Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the churches of Christ greet you.

tcent@Romans:16:17 @ I urge you, brethren, to take note of those who cause divisions and difficulties, contrary to the doctrine which you have learned; avoid them.

tcent@Romans:16:18 @ For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth and flattering words they deceive the hearts of the simple.

tcent@Romans:16:19 @ For your obedience has become known to all, so I am full of joy over you; but I want you to be wise about what is good, and innocent about what is evil.

tcent@Romans:16:25 @ Now to him who is able to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which was kept secret for long ages

tcent@Romans:16:26 @ but is now revealed and made known to all nations through the prophetic writings, according to the command of the eternal God, to bring about the obedience of faith—

tcent@1Corinthians:1:5 @ that in every way you were enriched in him in all speech and all knowledge—

tcent@1Corinthians:1:7 @ so that you are not lacking in any spiritual gift, as you eagerly wait for the revealing of our Lord Jesus Christ;

tcent@1Corinthians:1:10 @ I appeal to you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and in the same judgment.

tcent@1Corinthians:1:14 @ I am thankful that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius,

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

tcent@1Corinthians:1:16 @ (Now I did baptize also the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I do not know whether I baptized any one else.)

tcent@1Corinthians:1:17 @ For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel—not with words of human wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.

tcent@1Corinthians:1:20 @ Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?

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

tcent@1Corinthians:1:26 @ For consider your call, brethren; not many of you were wise according to fleshly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth.

tcent@1Corinthians:1:28 @ God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things, and the things that are not, to nullify the things that are,

tcent@1Corinthians:1:29 @ so that no flesh may boast before God.

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

tcent@1Corinthians:2:2 @ For I resolved to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

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

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

tcent@1Corinthians:2:6 @ Yet we do speak a wisdom among the mature, a wisdom, however, not of this age nor of the rulers of this age, who are passing away.

tcent@1Corinthians:2:8 @ None of the rulers of this age understood it; for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

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

tcent@1Corinthians:2:12 @ Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we may understand the things freely given to us by God.

tcent@1Corinthians:2:13 @ This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words.

tcent@1Corinthians:2:14 @ But the natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.

tcent@1Corinthians:2:15 @ But the spiritual man judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one.

tcent@1Corinthians:3:1 @ But I, brethren, could not address you as spiritual men, but as carnal men, as infants in Christ.

tcent@1Corinthians:3:2 @ I gave you milk, not solid food; for you were not yet ready for it. Indeed, even now you are not ready,

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

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

tcent@1Corinthians:3:7 @ So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth.

tcent@1Corinthians:3:8 @ Now he who plants and he who waters are one, and each will receive his own reward according to his own labor.

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

tcent@1Corinthians:3:11 @ For no other foundation can any one lay than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

tcent@1Corinthians:3:12 @ Now if any man builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw,

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

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

tcent@1Corinthians:3:21 @ So then let no one boast of men. For all things are yours,

tcent@1Corinthians:4:3 @ But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you, or by any human court; I do not even judge myself.

tcent@1Corinthians:4:4 @ I am not aware of anything against myself, but I am not acquitted by this. It is the Lord who judges me.

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

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

tcent@1Corinthians:4:7 @ For who regards you as different? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you did receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it?

tcent@1Corinthians:4:10 @ We are fools for Christ's sake, but you are wise in Christ; we are weak, but you are strong; you are distinguished, but we are without honor.

tcent@1Corinthians:4:13 @ when we are slandered, we try to conciliate; we have become, and are now, as the scum of the world, the refuse of all things.

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

tcent@1Corinthians:4:15 @ For though you have countless guides in Christ, you do not have many fathers, for in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel.

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

tcent@1Corinthians:4:19 @ But I will come to you soon, if the Lord wills, and I will find out, not the words of these arrogant people, but their power.

tcent@1Corinthians:4:20 @ For the kingdom of God does not consist in talk but in power.

tcent@1Corinthians:5:1 @ It is actually reported that there is immorality among you, and of a kind that does not occur even among pagans: a man has his father's wife.

tcent@1Corinthians:5:2 @ And you are arrogant! Ought you not rather to have mourned? Let the one who has done this be removed from your midst.

tcent@1Corinthians:5:6 @ Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump of dough?

tcent@1Corinthians:5:8 @ Let us, therefore, celebrate the festival, not with the old leaven, the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

tcent@1Corinthians:5:9 @ I wrote you in my letter not to associate with immoral people;

tcent@1Corinthians:5:10 @ not at all meaning the immoral people of this world, or with the greedy and swindlers, or with idolaters, for then you would have to go out of the world.

tcent@1Corinthians:5:11 @ But actually, I wrote to you not to associate with any one who bears the name of brother if he is an immoral person, or greedy, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler—not even to eat with such a one.

tcent@1Corinthians:5:12 @ For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Is it not those inside the church whom you are to judge?

tcent@1Corinthians:6:2 @ Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are you not competent to try trivial cases?

tcent@1Corinthians:6:3 @ Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more matters of this life!

tcent@1Corinthians:6:4 @ So if you have disputes about such matters, do you appoint them as judges who are of no account in the church?

tcent@1Corinthians:6:5 @ I say this to your shame. Can it be that there is no man among you wise enough to decide between his brethren,

tcent@1Corinthians:6:7 @ Actually, then, it is already a defeat for you, that you have lawsuits with one another. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be defrauded?

tcent@1Corinthians:6:9 @ Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither the immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor sexual perverts,

tcent@1Corinthians:6:10 @ nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.

tcent@1Corinthians:6:12 @ »All things are lawful for me,« but not all things are helpful. »All things are lawful for me,« but I will not be mastered by anything.

tcent@1Corinthians:6:13 @ »Food is for the stomach and the stomach for food«—but God will destroy them both. The body is not meant for immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.

tcent@1Corinthians:6:15 @ Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never!

tcent@1Corinthians:6:16 @ Or do you not know that he who joins himself to a prostitute becomes one body with her? For, as it is written, »The two shall become one flesh.«

tcent@1Corinthians:6:19 @ Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;

tcent@1Corinthians:7:1 @ Now concerning the matters about which you wrote, it is good for a man not to touch a woman.

tcent@1Corinthians:7:4 @ The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does; and likewise also the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does.

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

tcent@1Corinthians:7:6 @ I say this by way of concession, not of command.

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

tcent@1Corinthians:7:9 @ But if they cannot exercise self-control, they should marry; for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.

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

tcent@1Corinthians:7:11 @ (but if she does leave, she must remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband), and that the husband should not divorce his wife.

tcent@1Corinthians:7:12 @ But 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 must not divorce her.

tcent@1Corinthians:7:13 @ If any woman has a husband who is an unbeliever, and he consents to live with her, she must not divorce him.

tcent@1Corinthians:7:15 @ But if the unbelieving partner leaves, let him do so; in such a case the brother or sister is not bound. For God has called us to peace.

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

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

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

tcent@1Corinthians:7:21 @ Were you a slave when you were called? Do not let it trouble you—but if you can gain your freedom, do so.

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

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

tcent@1Corinthians:7:27 @ Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek to be free. Are you free from a wife? Do not seek marriage.

tcent@1Corinthians:7:28 @ But if you marry, you have not sinned; and if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. Yet those who marry will have troubles in this flesh, and I am trying to spare you.

tcent@1Corinthians:7:29 @ I mean, brethren, the appointed time has grown very short; so that from now on, those who have wives should live as though they had none,

tcent@1Corinthians:7:30 @ and those who mourn, as though they were not mourning; and those who rejoice, as though they were not rejoicing; and those who buy, as though they did not possess;

tcent@1Corinthians:7:31 @ and those who use the world, as though they did not make full use of it. For the form of this world is passing away.

tcent@1Corinthians:7:35 @ This I say for your own benefit, not to put a restraint upon you, but to promote what is good and to secure undivided devotion to the Lord.

tcent@1Corinthians:7:36 @ But if any man thinks that he is not acting properly toward his betrothed, if she is past her youth, and if it must be so, let him do what he wishes, he does not sin; let them marry.

tcent@1Corinthians:7:37 @ But he who stands firm in his heart, being under no constraint, but has control over his own will, and has decided this in his own heart, to keep her as his betrothed, he will do well.

tcent@1Corinthians:7:38 @ So then he who marries his betrothed does well, and he who does not marry her will do better.

tcent@1Corinthians:8:1 @ Now concerning food sacrificed to idols: we know that we all possess knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.

tcent@1Corinthians:8:2 @ If anyone imagines that he knows something, he does not yet know as he ought to know.

tcent@1Corinthians:8:3 @ But if anyone loves God, he is known by him.

tcent@1Corinthians:8:4 @ Therefore concerning the eating of food sacrificed to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no God but one.

tcent@1Corinthians:8:7 @ However, not all possess this knowledge. But some, being accustomed to idols, eat food as really sacrificed to an idol; and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.

tcent@1Corinthians:8:8 @ But food will not commend us to God; we are no worse if we do not eat, and no better if we do.

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

tcent@1Corinthians:8:10 @ For if a man sees you, who have knowledge, at table in an idol's temple, will not his conscience, if he is weak, be encouraged to eat food sacrificed to idols?

tcent@1Corinthians:8:11 @ And so by your knowledge this weak man is destroyed, the brother for whom Christ died.

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

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

tcent@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.

tcent@1Corinthians:9:4 @ Do we not have the right to food and drink?

tcent@1Corinthians:9:5 @ Do we not have a right to take along a believing wife, even as the other apostles and the brothers of the Lord and Cephas?

tcent@1Corinthians:9:6 @ Or is it only Barnabas and I who have no right to refrain from working for a living?

tcent@1Corinthians:9:7 @ Who at any time serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat of its fruit? Who tends a flock and does not drink of the milk?

tcent@1Corinthians:9:8 @ Do I say this merely from a human point of view? Does not the Law say the same thing?

tcent@1Corinthians:9:9 @ For it is written in the Law of Moses, »You shall not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain.« Is it for oxen that God is concerned?

tcent@1Corinthians:9:12 @ If others share this right of support from you, do not we all the more?

tcent@1Corinthians:9:13 @ Do you not know that those who work in the temple get their food from the temple, and those who serve at the altar share in what is offered on the altar?

tcent@1Corinthians:9:15 @ But I have not used any of these rights. And I am not writing this in the hope that you will do such things for me. I would rather die than have anyone deprive me of my ground for boasting.

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

tcent@1Corinthians:9:17 @ For if I do this voluntarily, I have a reward; but if it is not of my will, I have a stewardship entrusted to me.

tcent@1Corinthians:9:18 @ What then is my reward? Just this: that in my preaching I may offer the gospel free of charge, and so not make full use of my right in the gospel.

tcent@1Corinthians:9:20 @ To the Jews I became as a Jew, in order to win Jews; to those under the law I became as one under the law—though not being myself under the law—so that I might win those under the law.

tcent@1Corinthians:9:21 @ To those who are without law, I became as one without law, though not being without the law of God but under the law of Christ, so that I might win those who are without the law.

tcent@1Corinthians:9:24 @ Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win.

tcent@1Corinthians:9:26 @ Therefore I do not run aimlessly. I do not box as a man beating the air.

tcent@1Corinthians:9:27 @ But I discipline my body and make it my slave, so that, after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified.

tcent@1Corinthians:10:1 @ For I do not want you to be unaware, brethren, that our fathers were all under the cloud and all passed through the sea;

tcent@1Corinthians:10:5 @ Nevertheless, with most of them God was not pleased; for they were overthrown in the wilderness.

tcent@1Corinthians:10:6 @ Now these things are examples for us, not to desire evil things as they did.

tcent@1Corinthians:10:7 @ Do not be idolaters, as some of them were; as it is written, »The people sat down to eat and drink, and stood up to play.«

tcent@1Corinthians:10:8 @ We must not indulge in immorality as some of them did, and twenty-three thousand fell in one day.

tcent@1Corinthians:10:9 @ We must not put the Lord to the test, as some of them did and were destroyed by serpents.

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

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

tcent@1Corinthians:10:13 @ No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man. And God is faithful, who will not let you be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it.

tcent@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?

tcent@1Corinthians:10:18 @ Consider Israel after the flesh; are not those who eat the sacrifices partners in the altar?

tcent@1Corinthians:10:20 @ No, but I say that the things pagans sacrifice they offer to demons and not to God. I do not want you to be partners with demons.

tcent@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.

tcent@1Corinthians:10:23 @ »All things are lawful,« but not all things are helpful. »All things are lawful,« but not all things build up.

tcent@1Corinthians:10:24 @ Let no one seek his own good, but the good of his neighbor.

tcent@1Corinthians:10:28 @ But if anyone says to you, »This has been offered in sacrifice,« then do not eat it, both for the sake of the man who informed you and for conscience' sake—

tcent@1Corinthians:10:29 @ the other man's conscience, I mean, not yours. For why should my freedom be judged by another's conscience?

tcent@1Corinthians:10:30 @ If I partake with thankfulness, why am I denounced because of that for which I give thanks?

tcent@1Corinthians:10:32 @ Give no offense either to Jews or to Greeks or to the church of God,

tcent@1Corinthians:10:33 @ just as I try to please all men in everything I do, not seeking my own advantage, but that of many, that they may be saved.

tcent@1Corinthians:11:4 @ Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head.

tcent@1Corinthians:11:5 @ But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head—it is the same as if her head were shaved.

tcent@1Corinthians:11:6 @ For if a woman does not cover her head, she should have her hair cut off; but if it is disgraceful for a woman to have her hair cut or shaved off, let her cover her head.

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

tcent@1Corinthians:11:8 @ For man does not originate from woman, but woman from man;

tcent@1Corinthians:11:11 @ In the Lord, however, woman is not independent of man, nor is man independent of woman.

tcent@1Corinthians:11:14 @ Does not even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him,

tcent@1Corinthians:11:16 @ If anyone wants to be contentious, we have no other practice, nor do the churches of God.

tcent@1Corinthians:11:17 @ But in the following instructions, I do not praise you, because you come together not for the better but for the worse.

tcent@1Corinthians:11:20 @ Therefore when you meet together, it is not the Lord's supper that you eat,

tcent@1Corinthians:11:21 @ for in eating, each one goes ahead with his own meal, and one is hungry and another is drunk.

tcent@1Corinthians:11:22 @ What! Do you not have houses to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the church of God and humiliate those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you in this? No, I will not.

tcent@1Corinthians:11:31 @ But if we judged ourselves rightly, we would not be judged.

tcent@1Corinthians:11:32 @ But when we are judged, we are disciplined by the Lord so that we will not be condemned along with the world.

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

tcent@1Corinthians:11:34 @ If anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, so that you will not come together for judgment. About the other things I will give directions when I come.

tcent@1Corinthians:12:1 @ Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I do not want you to be uninformed.

tcent@1Corinthians:12:2 @ You know that when you were pagans, you were led astray to mute idols, however you may have been moved.

tcent@1Corinthians:12:3 @ Therefore I tell you that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, »Jesus be cursed,« and no one can say, »Jesus is Lord,« except by the Holy Spirit.

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

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

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

tcent@1Corinthians:12:10 @ and to another the working of miracles, and to another prophecy, and to another distinguishing between spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, and to another the interpretation of tongues.

tcent@1Corinthians:12:14 @ For the body is not made up of one member but of many.

tcent@1Corinthians:12:15 @ If the foot should say, »Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,« it would not for that reason be any less a part of the body.

tcent@1Corinthians:12:16 @ And if the ear should say, »Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,« it would not for that reason be any less a part of the body.

tcent@1Corinthians:12:18 @ But now God has arranged the members in the body, each one of them, just as he desired.

tcent@1Corinthians:12:21 @ And the eye cannot say to the hand, »I have no need of you,« nor again the head to the feet, »I have no need of you.«

tcent@1Corinthians:12:23 @ and those parts of the body which we think less honorable we treat with the greater honor, and our unpresentable parts are treated with greater modesty,

tcent@1Corinthians:12:24 @ while our more presentable members have no need of it. But God has so composed the body, giving the greater honor to the parts that lacked it,

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

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

tcent@1Corinthians:12:27 @ Now you are the body of Christ, and individually members of it.

tcent@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.

tcent@1Corinthians:13:2 @ If I have the gift of prophecy, 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.

tcent@1Corinthians:13:3 @ If I give all I have to the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.

tcent@1Corinthians:13:4 @ Love is patient, love is kind. It is not jealous or boastful, it is not arrogant

tcent@1Corinthians:13:5 @ or rude, it does not seek its own, it is not provoked, it keeps no record of wrongs,

tcent@1Corinthians:13:6 @ it does not rejoice in evil, but rejoices with the truth.

tcent@1Corinthians:13:8 @ Love never fails; but where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.

tcent@1Corinthians:13:9 @ For we know in part and we prophesy in part;

tcent@1Corinthians:13:12 @ For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know fully—even as I have been fully known.

tcent@1Corinthians:13:13 @ So now faith, hope, love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

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

tcent@1Corinthians:14:5 @ Now I want you all to speak in tongues, but even more that you would prophesy. He who prophesies is greater than he who speaks in tongues, unless some one interprets, so that the church may be edified.

tcent@1Corinthians:14:6 @ But now, brethren, if I come to you speaking in tongues, what will I profit you unless I bring you some revelation or knowledge or prophecy or teaching?

tcent@1Corinthians:14:7 @ If even lifeless things, such as the flute or the harp, do not give a distinction in the notes, how will any one know what is played?

tcent@1Corinthians:14:9 @ So it is with you, unless you utter by the tongue speech that is intelligible, how will anyone know what is spoken? For you will be speaking into the air.

tcent@1Corinthians:14:10 @ Undoubtedly there are many languages in the world, and none of them is without meaning.

tcent@1Corinthians:14:11 @ If then I do not know the meaning of the language, I will be a foreigner to the one who is speaking, and the speaker will be a foreigner to me.

tcent@1Corinthians:14:16 @ Otherwise, if you bless with the spirit, how can any one in the position of an outsider say the »Amen« to your thanksgiving, since he does not know what you are saying?

tcent@1Corinthians:14:17 @ For you may be giving thanks well enough, but the other man is not edified.

tcent@1Corinthians:14:20 @ Brethren, do not be children in your thinking; be infants in evil, but in thinking be mature.

tcent@1Corinthians:14:22 @ Tongues, then, are a sign, not for believers but for unbelievers; but prophecy is for believers, not for unbelievers.

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

tcent@1Corinthians:14:28 @ But if there is no interpreter, he must keep silent in the church; and let him speak to himself and to God.

tcent@1Corinthians:14:30 @ But if a revelation is made to another who is sitting, the first one must keep silent.

tcent@1Corinthians:14:33 @ For God is not a God of confusion but of peace.

tcent@1Corinthians:14:34 @ the women should keep silent in the churches. For they are not permitted to speak, but should be submissive, as even the law says.

tcent@1Corinthians:14:37 @ If anyone thinks he is a prophet or spiritual, let him acknowledge that what I am writing to you is the Lord's command.

tcent@1Corinthians:14:38 @ But if anyone does not recognize this, he is not recognized.

tcent@1Corinthians:14:39 @ Therefore, my brethren, desire earnestly to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues.

tcent@1Corinthians:15:1 @ Now I would remind you, brethren, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand,

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

tcent@1Corinthians:15:10 @ But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. No, I worked harder than all of them—yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.

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

tcent@1Corinthians:15:13 @ But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised;

tcent@1Corinthians:15:14 @ if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and so is your faith.

tcent@1Corinthians:15:15 @ More than that, we are even found to be false witnesses of God, because we testified against God that he raised Christ, whom he did not raise, if in fact the dead are not raised.

tcent@1Corinthians:15:16 @ For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised.

tcent@1Corinthians:15:17 @ And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins.

tcent@1Corinthians:15:29 @ Otherwise, what will those do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why then are people baptized for them?

tcent@1Corinthians:15:32 @ If I fought wild beasts in Ephesus for merely human reasons, what have I gained? If the dead are not raised,

tcent@1Corinthians:15:33 @ Do not be deceived:

tcent@1Corinthians:15:34 @ Come back to your senses as you ought, and stop sinning; for some have no knowledge of God. I say this to your shame.

tcent@1Corinthians:15:36 @ You foolish man! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies.

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

tcent@1Corinthians:15:39 @ For not all flesh is the same flesh, but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of animals, another of birds, and another of fish.

tcent@1Corinthians:15:40 @ There are also heavenly bodies and there are earthly bodies; but the glory of the heavenly is one, and the glory of the earthly is another.

tcent@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.

tcent@1Corinthians:15:43 @ it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power;

tcent@1Corinthians:15:46 @ However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural; and then the spiritual.

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

tcent@1Corinthians:15:51 @ Behold, I tell you a mystery; we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed,

tcent@1Corinthians:15:58 @ Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

tcent@1Corinthians:16:1 @ Now concerning the collection for the saints: as I directed the churches of Galatia, so you must also do.

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

tcent@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.

tcent@1Corinthians:16:10 @ Now if Timothy comes, see that he is with you with nothing to fear, for he is doing the work of the Lord, just as I am.

tcent@1Corinthians:16:11 @ So let no one despise him. Send him on his way in peace, that he may return to me; for I am expecting him with the brethren.

tcent@1Corinthians:16:12 @ As for our brother Apollos, I strongly urged him to come to you with the other brethren, but it was not at all his will to come now. He will come when he has opportunity.

tcent@1Corinthians:16:15 @ You know that the household of Stephanas were the first converts in Achaia, and they have devoted themselves to the service of the saints. Now I urge you, brethren,

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

tcent@1Corinthians:16:22 @ If anyone does not love the Lord—let him be accursed. Come, O Lord!

tcent@2Corinthians:1:7 @ And our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you share in our comfort.

tcent@2Corinthians:1:8 @ For we do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, of our affliction which came to us in Asia: that we were burdened beyond measure, above strength, so that we despaired even of life.

tcent@2Corinthians:1:9 @ Indeed, we felt that we had received the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead.

tcent@2Corinthians:1:12 @ For our boast is this: the testimony of our conscience, that with holiness and godly sincerity, not in worldly wisdom but in the grace of God, we have conducted ourselves in the world, and still more toward you.

tcent@2Corinthians:1:13 @ For we write you nothing but what you can read and understand; and I hope you will understand fully,

tcent@2Corinthians:1:17 @ When I was planning this, did I do it lightly? Or do I make my plans in a fleshly manner so that in the same breath I say, »Yes, Yes« and »No, No«?

tcent@2Corinthians:1:18 @ But as surely as God is faithful, our word to you has not been Yes and No.

tcent@2Corinthians:1:19 @ For the Son of God, Christ Jesus, who was preached among you by us—by me and Silvanus and Timothy—was not Yes and No, but in him it has always been Yes.

tcent@2Corinthians:1:21 @ Now it is God who establishes us with you in Christ, and has anointed us;

tcent@2Corinthians:1:23 @ But I call God as my witness that it was in order to spare you that I did not return to Corinth.

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

tcent@2Corinthians:2:1 @ So I made up my mind that I would not make another painful visit to you.

tcent@2Corinthians:2:3 @ And I wrote as I did, so that when I came I might not suffer pain from those who should have made me rejoice, for I had confidence in all of you, that my joy would be the joy of you all.

tcent@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.

tcent@2Corinthians:2:5 @ But if any one has caused pain, he has caused it not to me, but in some measure—not to put it too severely—to all of you.

tcent@2Corinthians:2:7 @ so you should rather turn to forgive and comfort him, so that he will not be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow.

tcent@2Corinthians:2:9 @ For this is why I wrote, that I might test you and know whether you are obedient in everything.

tcent@2Corinthians:2:11 @ in order that Satan might gain no advantage over us; for we are not ignorant of his schemes.

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

tcent@2Corinthians:2:13 @ I still had no rest in my mind, because I did not find my brother Titus there. So I took my leave of them and went on to Macedonia.

tcent@2Corinthians:2:14 @ But thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumph, and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of him everywhere.

tcent@2Corinthians:2:17 @ For we are not, like so many, peddling the word of God; but as men of sincerity, as from God, in the sight of God we speak in Christ.

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

tcent@2Corinthians:3:3 @ You show that you are a letter from Christ, delivered by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of carnal hearts.

tcent@2Corinthians:3:5 @ Not that we are competent of ourselves to claim anything as coming from ourselves; but our competence is from God,

tcent@2Corinthians:3:6 @ who has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

tcent@2Corinthians:3:7 @ Now if the ministry that brought death, which was engraved in letters on stone, came with glory, so that the Israelites could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of its glory, fading though it was,

tcent@2Corinthians:3:8 @ will not the ministry of the Spirit be even more glorious?

tcent@2Corinthians:3:10 @ For indeed what had glory, in this case has no glory because of the glory that surpasses it.

tcent@2Corinthians:3:13 @ We are not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face to keep the Israelites from gazing at the end of the radiance that was fading away.

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

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

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

tcent@2Corinthians:4:2 @ But we have renounced secret and shameful ways; we do not use deception, nor do we distort the word of God. On the contrary, by setting forth the truth plainly we commend ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.

tcent@2Corinthians:4:4 @ In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.

tcent@2Corinthians:4:5 @ For we do not preach ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake.

tcent@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.

tcent@2Corinthians:4:7 @ But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.

tcent@2Corinthians:4:8 @ We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair;

tcent@2Corinthians:4:9 @ persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;

tcent@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.

tcent@2Corinthians:4:16 @ Therefore we do not lose heart. Though our outer nature is wasting away, yet our inner nature is being renewed day by day.

tcent@2Corinthians:4:18 @ while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are unseen; for the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are unseen are eternal.

tcent@2Corinthians:5:1 @ For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

tcent@2Corinthians:5:3 @ so that when we are clothed, we will not be found naked.

tcent@2Corinthians:5:4 @ For while we are in this tent, we groan and are burdened, because we do not wish to be unclothed, but to be further clothed, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.

tcent@2Corinthians:5:5 @ Now he who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who also has given us the Spirit as a guarantee.

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

tcent@2Corinthians:5:7 @ for we walk by faith, not by sight.

tcent@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.

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

tcent@2Corinthians:5:15 @ And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.

tcent@2Corinthians:5:16 @ From now on, therefore, we regard no one from a fleshly point of view; even though we once regarded Christ from a fleshly point of view, we regard him thus no longer.

tcent@2Corinthians:5:19 @ that is, God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.

tcent@2Corinthians:5:21 @ For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

tcent@2Corinthians:6:1 @ Working together with him, then, we urge you not to receive the grace of God in vain.

tcent@2Corinthians:6:2 @ For he says, Behold, now is the acceptable time; behold, now is the day of salvation.

tcent@2Corinthians:6:3 @ We put no stumbling block in anyone's path, so that our ministry will not be discredited.

tcent@2Corinthians:6:6 @ in purity, knowledge, patience, kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in genuine love,

tcent@2Corinthians:6:8 @ through glory and dishonor, evil report and good report; true, yet regarded as impostors;

tcent@2Corinthians:6:9 @ as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold we live; as punished, and yet not killed;

tcent@2Corinthians:6:10 @ as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing everything.

tcent@2Corinthians:6:12 @ You are not restricted by us, but you are restricted in your own affections.

tcent@2Corinthians:6:13 @ Now in a fair exchange—I speak as to my children—open wide your hearts also.

tcent@2Corinthians:6:14 @ Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?

tcent@2Corinthians:7:2 @ Make room for us in your hearts; we have wronged no one, we have corrupted no one, we have taken advantage of no one.

tcent@2Corinthians:7:3 @ I do not say this to condemn you, for I have said before that you are in our hearts, to die together and to live together.

tcent@2Corinthians:7:5 @ For even when we came into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we were afflicted at every turn—conflicts on the outside and fears within.

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

tcent@2Corinthians:7:8 @ For even if I made you sorry with my letter, I do not regret it. Though I did regret it—for I see that my letter hurt you, though only for a little while—

tcent@2Corinthians:7:9 @ now I rejoice, not because you were made sorry, but because your sorrow led you to repentance; for you became sorrowful as God intended, so that you suffered no loss through us.

tcent@2Corinthians:7:10 @ For godly sorrow produces a repentance that leads to salvation and brings no regret, but worldly sorrow produces death.

tcent@2Corinthians:7:11 @ For behold what this very thing, godly sorrow, has produced in you: what earnestness, what eagerness to clear yourselves, what indignation, what alarm, what longing, what zeal, what readiness to see justice done! At every point you have proved yourselves to be innocent in this matter.

tcent@2Corinthians:7:12 @ So although I wrote to you, it was not on account of the one who did the wrong, nor on account of the one who suffered the wrong, but in order that your zeal for us might be revealed to you in the sight of God.

tcent@2Corinthians:7:14 @ For if I have boasted to him about you, I was not put to shame; but just as everything we said to you was true, so our boasting before Titus has proved true.

tcent@2Corinthians:8:1 @ Now, brethren, we want you to know about the grace of God which has been given in the churches of Macedonia,

tcent@2Corinthians:8:5 @ And they did not do as we expected, but they first gave themselves to the Lord and to us by the will of God.

tcent@2Corinthians:8:7 @ But 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 work of grace also.

tcent@2Corinthians:8:8 @ I am not speaking this as a command, but I want to test the sincerity of your love by comparing it with the earnestness of others.

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

tcent@2Corinthians:8:10 @ And in this matter I give my advice: it is best for you now to complete what a year ago you began not only to do but to desire.

tcent@2Corinthians:8:11 @ Now finish the work, so that your readiness to do it may be matched by your completion of it, according to your means.

tcent@2Corinthians:8:12 @ For if the readiness is there, it is acceptable according to what a man has, not according to what he does not have.

tcent@2Corinthians:8:13 @ For I do not mean that others should be eased and you burdened;

tcent@2Corinthians:8:17 @ For he not only accepted our appeal, but being himself very earnest he is going to you of his own accord.

tcent@2Corinthians:8:19 @ and not only that, but he has been appointed by the churches to travel with us in this gracious work which we are carrying on, for the glory of the Lord himself and to show our good will.

tcent@2Corinthians:8:20 @ We intend that no one should blame us about this liberal gift which we are administering,

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

tcent@2Corinthians:8:22 @ And with them we are sending our brother whom we have often proved diligent in many matters, but who is now more diligent than ever because of his great confidence in you.

tcent@2Corinthians:9:1 @ Now it is superfluous for me to write to you about the offering for the saints,

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

tcent@2Corinthians:9:3 @ But I am sending the brethren so that our boasting about you may not prove vain in this case, so that you may be ready, as I said you would be;

tcent@2Corinthians:9:4 @ lest if any Macedonians come with me and find you unprepared, we—not to say anything about you—would be ashamed of having been so confident.

tcent@2Corinthians:9:5 @ So I thought it necessary to urge the brethren to go on to you before me, and arrange in advance for this gift you have promised, so that it may be ready not as an exaction but as a willing gift.

tcent@2Corinthians:9:7 @ Each one must give just as he has purposed in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

tcent@2Corinthians:9:10 @ Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will multiply the harvest of your righteousness.

tcent@2Corinthians:9:12 @ For the ministry of this service is not only fully supplying the needs of the saints, but is also overflowing through many thanksgivings to God.

tcent@2Corinthians:10:2 @ I beg you that when I am present I may not have to be bold with that confidence by which I intend to be bold against some, who think of us as if we walked according to the flesh.

tcent@2Corinthians:10:3 @ For though we live in the flesh, we do not wage war as the flesh does.

tcent@2Corinthians:10:4 @ For the weapons of our warfare are not the weapons of the world, but they have divine power to destroy strongholds.

tcent@2Corinthians:10:5 @ We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ,

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

tcent@2Corinthians:10:9 @ I do not wish to seem as if I would terrify you by my letters.

tcent@2Corinthians:10:10 @ For they say, »His letters are weighty and strong, but his personal presence is weak, and his speech of no account.«

tcent@2Corinthians:10:12 @ For we do not dare to class or compare ourselves with some of those who commend themselves. But when they measure themselves by themselves, and compare themselves with themselves, they are without understanding.

tcent@2Corinthians:10:13 @ But we will not boast beyond proper limits, but will confine our boasting to the field God has apportioned to us, a field that reaches even to you.

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

tcent@2Corinthians:10:15 @ We do not go beyond limits by boasting in other men’s labors, but our hope is that as your faith grows, our sphere among you may be greatly enlarged,

tcent@2Corinthians:10:16 @ so that we can preach the gospel in the regions beyond you. For we do not want to boast of work already done in another man's territory.

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

tcent@2Corinthians:11:4 @ For if someone comes to you and preaches a Jesus other than the one we preached, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it easily enough.

tcent@2Corinthians:11:5 @ I think that I am not in the least inferior to these super-apostles.

tcent@2Corinthians:11:6 @ But even if I am unskilled in speech, I am not in knowledge; in every way we have made this plain to you in all things.

tcent@2Corinthians:11:9 @ And when I was with you and needed something, I was not a burden to anyone, for the brethren who came from Macedonia supplied what I needed. I have kept myself from being a burden to you in any way, and will continue to do so.

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

tcent@2Corinthians:11:11 @ Why? Because I do not love you? God knows I do!

tcent@2Corinthians:11:14 @ And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.

tcent@2Corinthians:11:15 @ Therefore it is not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will be according to their deeds.

tcent@2Corinthians:11:16 @ I repeat, let no one think me foolish; but even if you do, receive me as a fool, so that I too may boast a little.

tcent@2Corinthians:11:17 @ What I am saying I am not saying as the Lord would, but as a fool, in this confidence of boasting.

tcent@2Corinthians:11:29 @ Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is made to fall, and I do not inwardly burn?

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

tcent@2Corinthians:11:32 @ In Damascus the governor under King Aretas had the city of the Damascenes guarded in order to arrest me,

tcent@2Corinthians:12:1 @ I must go on boasting, though there is nothing to be gained by it; but I will go on to visions and revelations of the Lord.

tcent@2Corinthians:12:2 @ I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven. Whether it was in the body or out of the body I do not know—God knows.

tcent@2Corinthians:12:3 @ And I know that this man—whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know, but God knows—

tcent@2Corinthians:12:4 @ was caught up to paradise and heard inexpressible things, which a man is not permitted to tell.

tcent@2Corinthians:12:5 @ On behalf of such a man I will boast, but on my own behalf I will not boast, except of my weaknesses.

tcent@2Corinthians:12:6 @ Though if I should boast, I will not be a fool, for I will be speaking the truth. But I refrain from it, so that no one may think more of me than he sees in me or hears from me.

tcent@2Corinthians:12:11 @ I have been a fool! You forced me to it, for I ought to have been commended by you. For I was not in the least inferior to these super-apostles, even though I am nothing.

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

tcent@2Corinthians:12:14 @ Here for the third time I am ready to come to you. And I will not be a burden to you, for I seek not what is yours but you; for children ought not to lay up for their parents, but parents for their children.

tcent@2Corinthians:12:16 @ But be that as it may, I did not burden you myself. Yet, crafty fellow that I am, I caught you by trickery!

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

tcent@2Corinthians:12:20 @ For I am afraid that when I come I may not find you what I wish you to be, and you may not find me what you wish me to be; I fear that there may be quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, factions, slander, gossip, arrogance and disorder.

tcent@2Corinthians:12:21 @ I am afraid that when I come again my God will humble me before you, and I will have to mourn over many of those who sinned before and have not repented of the impurity, immorality, and lewdness which they have practiced.

tcent@2Corinthians:13:2 @ I warned those who sinned in the past and all the others, and I warn them now while absent, as I did when present the second time, that if I come again I will not spare them—

tcent@2Corinthians:13:3 @ since you desire proof that Christ is speaking in me. He is not weak in dealing with you, but is powerful in you.

tcent@2Corinthians:13:5 @ Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you—unless, indeed, you fail the test?

tcent@2Corinthians:13:6 @ I trust that you will realize that we have not failed the test.

tcent@2Corinthians:13:7 @ Now we pray to God that you may not do wrong—not that we may appear to have met the test, but that you may do what is right, even though we may seem to have failed.

tcent@2Corinthians:13:8 @ For we cannot do anything against the truth, but only for the truth.

tcent@2Corinthians:13:10 @ I write these things while I am absent, in order that when I come I may not have to be severe in my use of the authority which the Lord gave me for building you up, and not for tearing you down.

tcent@2Corinthians:13:12 @ Greet one another with a holy kiss.

tcent@Galatians:1:1 @ Paul, an apostle—sent not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead—

tcent@Galatians:1:7 @ which is really not another gospel; but there are some who are disturbing you, and want to pervert the gospel of Christ.

tcent@Galatians:1:9 @ As we have said before, so I say again now, if any one is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, let him be accursed!

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

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

tcent@Galatians:1:12 @ For I did not receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ.

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

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

tcent@Galatians:1:19 @ But I saw none of the other apostles except James, the Lord's brother.

tcent@Galatians:1:20 @ (Now in what I am writing to you, I assure you before God that I do not lie.)

tcent@Galatians:1:22 @ I was still unknown by sight to the churches of Judea which were in Christ;

tcent@Galatians:1:23 @ they only heard it said, »He who once persecuted us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy.«

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

tcent@Galatians:2:5 @ We did not yield to them even for a moment, so that the truth of the gospel might remain with you.

tcent@Galatians:2:6 @ And from those who were reputed to be something (what they were makes no difference to me; God shows no partiality)—those, I say, who were of repute added nothing to me;

tcent@Galatians:2:14 @ But when I saw that they were not straightforward about the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas in the presence of them all, »If you, being a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how is it that you compel the Gentiles to live like Jews?

tcent@Galatians:2:15 @ »We ourselves, who are Jews by birth and not Gentile sinners,

tcent@Galatians:2:16 @ yet who know that a man is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we may be justified by faith in Christ, and not by works of the law, because by works of the law will no flesh be justified.

tcent@Galatians:2:17 @ But if, while seeking to be justified in Christ, we ourselves have also been found sinners, is Christ then an agent of sin? Certainly not!

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

tcent@Galatians:2:21 @ I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness comes through the Law, then Christ died for nothing.«

tcent@Galatians:3:3 @ Are you so foolish? Having begun with the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh?

tcent@Galatians:3:10 @ For all who rely on works of the law are under a curse; for it is written, »Cursed is everyone who does not abide by all things written in the book of the law, to do them.«

tcent@Galatians:3:11 @ Now that no one is justified by the Law before God is evident; for, »The righteous man shall live by faith.«

tcent@Galatians:3:12 @ But the Law is not of faith; on the contrary, »He who does them shall live by them.«

tcent@Galatians:3:15 @ To give a human example, brethren: even though it is only a man's covenant, yet when it has been ratified, no one sets it aside or adds conditions to it.

tcent@Galatians:3:16 @ Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. He does not say, »And to seeds,« as referring to many, but rather to one, »And to your seed,« that is, Christ.

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

tcent@Galatians:3:18 @ For if the inheritance is based on the law, it is no longer based on a promise; but God gave it to Abraham by a promise.

tcent@Galatians:3:20 @ Now a mediator does not represent just one party; but God is one.

tcent@Galatians:3:21 @ Is the law then opposed to the promises of God? Certainly not! For if a law had been given which could impart life, then righteousness would indeed have come by the law.

tcent@Galatians:3:23 @ Now before faith came, we were bound under the law, kept under restraint until faith should be revealed.

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

tcent@Galatians:3:28 @ There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

tcent@Galatians:4:1 @ I mean that the heir, as long as he is a child, is no different from a slave, although he is the owner of all the estate;

tcent@Galatians:4:7 @ So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and if a son, then an heir through God.

tcent@Galatians:4:8 @ Formerly, when you did not know God, you were slaves to those which by nature are no gods.

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

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

tcent@Galatians:4:13 @ you know it was because of an illness in the flesh that I preached the gospel to you at first;

tcent@Galatians:4:14 @ and though my fleshly condition was a trial to you, you did not despise or scorn me, but you received me as an angel of God, as Christ Jesus himself.

tcent@Galatians:4:16 @ Have I now become your enemy by telling you the truth?

tcent@Galatians:4:17 @ They seek you, but for no good purpose; they want to shut you out, so that you may seek them.

tcent@Galatians:4:18 @ But it is always good to seek a good purpose, and not only when I am present with you.

tcent@Galatians:4:20 @ I could wish to be present with you now and to change my tone, for I am perplexed about you.

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

tcent@Galatians:4:25 @ Now this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery with her children.

tcent@Galatians:4:28 @ Now you, brethren, like Isaac, are children of promise.

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

tcent@Galatians:4:30 @ But what does the scripture say? »Cast out the slave and her son, for the son of the slave shall not inherit with the son of the free woman.«

tcent@Galatians:4:31 @ So then, brethren, we are not children of the slave, but of the free woman.

tcent@Galatians:5:1 @ It was for freedom that Christ has set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery.

tcent@Galatians:5:2 @ Behold I, Paul, say to you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will be of no benefit to you.

tcent@Galatians:5:6 @ For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision is of any avail, but faith working through love.

tcent@Galatians:5:8 @ This persuasion did not come from him who calls you.

tcent@Galatians:5:10 @ I have confidence in the Lord that you will take no other view than mine; and the one who is troubling you will bear his judgment, whoever he is.

tcent@Galatians:5:13 @ For you were called to freedom, brethren; only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.

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

tcent@Galatians:5:16 @ But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.

tcent@Galatians:5:17 @ For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh; for these are opposed to each other, so that you may not do what you would.

tcent@Galatians:5:18 @ But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the Law.

tcent@Galatians:5:19 @ Now the deeds of the flesh are obvious: immorality, impurity, lewdness,

tcent@Galatians:5:21 @ envy, drunkenness, carousing, and the like. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

tcent@Galatians:5:23 @ gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.

tcent@Galatians:5:26 @ Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.

tcent@Galatians:6:1 @ Brethren, even if anyone is caught in a trespass, you who are spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; each one looking to yourself, so that you too will not be tempted.

tcent@Galatians:6:2 @ Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

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

tcent@Galatians:6:4 @ But let each one test his own work, and then he will have reason to boast in himself alone, and not in his neighbor.

tcent@Galatians:6:7 @ Do not be deceived; God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

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

tcent@Galatians:6:12 @ Those who want to make a good showing in the flesh try to compel you to be circumcised, and only in order that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.

tcent@Galatians:6:13 @ For those who are circumcised do not even keep the Law themselves, but they desire to have you circumcised so that they may boast in your flesh.

tcent@Galatians:6:15 @ For neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but what counts is a new creation.

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

tcent@Ephesians:1:9 @ he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ,

tcent@Ephesians:1:16 @ I do not cease giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers,

tcent@Ephesians:1:17 @ that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him.

tcent@Ephesians:1:18 @ I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints,

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

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

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

tcent@Ephesians:2:9 @ not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.

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

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

tcent@Ephesians:2:19 @ So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and are members of God's household,

tcent@Ephesians:3:3 @ that is, the mystery made known to me by revelation, as I have already written briefly.

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

tcent@Ephesians:3:10 @ so that the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known through the church to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places.

tcent@Ephesians:3:13 @ Therefore I ask you not to lose heart at my tribulations for you, which are your glory.

tcent@Ephesians:3:19 @ and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

tcent@Ephesians:3:20 @ Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us,

tcent@Ephesians:4:2 @ with all humility and gentleness, with patience, showing tolerance for one another in love,

tcent@Ephesians:4:13 @ until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to become mature, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.

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

tcent@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,

tcent@Ephesians:4:18 @ they are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, due to the hardness of their heart;

tcent@Ephesians:4:20 @ But you did not learn Christ in this way,

tcent@Ephesians:4:25 @ Therefore, laying aside falsehood, each one of you must speak truth with his neighbor, for we are members of one another.

tcent@Ephesians:4:26 @ Be angry, and yet do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger,

tcent@Ephesians:4:27 @ and do not give the devil an opportunity.

tcent@Ephesians:4:28 @ He who has been stealing must steal no longer, but rather must labor, doing useful work with his own hands, so that he may have something to share with those in need.

tcent@Ephesians:4:29 @ Let no unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building others up according to the need of the moment, that it may impart grace to those who hear.

tcent@Ephesians:4:30 @ And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.

tcent@Ephesians:4:32 @ Be kind and tenderhearted to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

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

tcent@Ephesians:5:4 @ And there must be no filthiness and silly talk, or coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather let there be thanksgiving.

tcent@Ephesians:5:5 @ For of this you can be sure, that no immoral, impure, or covetous person—such a man is an idolater—has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

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

tcent@Ephesians:5:7 @ Therefore do not be partners with them;

tcent@Ephesians:5:8 @ for once you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord; walk as children of light

tcent@Ephesians:5:11 @ Do not participate in the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but instead expose them.

tcent@Ephesians:5:15 @ Be careful, then, how you walk, not as unwise men, but as wise,

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

tcent@Ephesians:5:18 @ And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery; but be filled with the Spirit,

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

tcent@Ephesians:5:21 @ Be subject to one another out of reverence for Christ.

tcent@Ephesians:5:29 @ For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ also does the church,

tcent@Ephesians:6:2 @ »Honor your father and mother« (which is the first commandment with a promise),

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

tcent@Ephesians:6:6 @ not in the way of eye-service, as men-pleasers, but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart.

tcent@Ephesians:6:7 @ Render service with good will, as to the Lord, and not to men,

tcent@Ephesians:6:8 @ knowing that whatever good thing each one does, this he will receive back from the Lord, whether he is a slave or free.

tcent@Ephesians:6:9 @ Masters, do the same to them, and give up threatening, knowing that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and that there is no partiality with him.

tcent@Ephesians:6:12 @ For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.

tcent@Ephesians:6:19 @ and also pray for me, that in the opening of my mouth, utterance may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel,

tcent@Ephesians:6:21 @ Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, will tell you everything, so that you also may know how I am and what I am doing.

tcent@Ephesians:6:22 @ I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know how we are, and that he may encourage your hearts.

tcent@Philippians:1:5 @ because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now.

tcent@Philippians:1:9 @ And this is my prayer, that your love may abound still more and more in real knowledge and all discernment,

tcent@Philippians:1:12 @ Now I want you to know, brethren, that what has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel,

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

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

tcent@Philippians:1:17 @ the former proclaim Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, but thinking to cause me distress in my imprisonment.

tcent@Philippians:1:19 @ for I know that through your prayers and the help of the Spirit of Jesus Christ this will turn out for my deliverance,

tcent@Philippians:1:20 @ as it is my eager expectation and hope that I will not be ashamed in anything, but that with full courage now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death.

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

tcent@Philippians:1:25 @ Convinced of this, I know that I will remain and continue with you all, for your progress and joy in the faith,

tcent@Philippians:1:28 @ in no way frightened by your opponents. This is a sign of destruction to them, but of salvation for you – and that too, from God.

tcent@Philippians:1:29 @ For to you it has been granted for the sake of Christ, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer for his sake,

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

tcent@Philippians:2:3 @ Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves.

tcent@Philippians:2:4 @ Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.

tcent@Philippians:2:6 @ who, though he was in the form of God, did not consider equality with God a thing to be grasped,

tcent@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 salvation with fear and trembling;

tcent@Philippians:2:15 @ so that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world,

tcent@Philippians:2:16 @ holding fast the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I may be proud that I did not run in vain or labor in vain.

tcent@Philippians:2:20 @ I have no one else like him, who will be genuinely concerned for your welfare.

tcent@Philippians:2:21 @ For they all seek after their own interests, not those of Christ Jesus.

tcent@Philippians:2:22 @ But you know that he has proved his worth, because as a son with his father he has served with me in the work of the gospel.

tcent@Philippians:2:27 @ Indeed he was ill, near to death. But God had mercy on him, and not only on him but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.

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

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

tcent@Philippians:3:3 @ For we are the true circumcision, who worship in the Spirit of God, and glory in Christ Jesus, and put no confidence in the flesh,

tcent@Philippians:3:8 @ More than that, I count everything to be 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 rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ

tcent@Philippians:3:9 @ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christthe righteousness that comes from God and is by faith,

tcent@Philippians:3:10 @ that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming like him in his death;

tcent@Philippians:3:12 @ Not that I have already obtained this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.

tcent@Philippians:3:13 @ Brethren, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead,

tcent@Philippians:3:18 @ For many, of whom I have often told you and now tell you even with tears, live as enemies of the cross of Christ.

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

tcent@Philippians:4:6 @ Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.

tcent@Philippians:4:8 @ Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, 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.

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

tcent@Philippians:4:11 @ Not that I speak from want, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am.

tcent@Philippians:4:12 @ I know how to be in need, and I also know how to have plenty; in any and every circumstance I have learned the secret of being filled and going hungry, both of having abundance and want.

tcent@Philippians:4:15 @ You yourselves also know, Philippians, that in the first preaching of the gospel, when I left Macedonia, no church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving except you only;

tcent@Philippians:4:17 @ Not that I seek the gift itself, but I seek for the profit which increases to your account.

tcent@Colossians:1:9 @ For this reason also, since the day we heard 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,

tcent@Colossians:1:10 @ so that you will live a life worthy of the Lord, to please him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God.

tcent@Colossians:1:22 @ yet he has now reconciled you in his fleshly body through death, in order to present you before him holy and blameless and beyond reproach—

tcent@Colossians:1:23 @ if indeed you continue in the faith firmly established and steadfast, and are not moved away from the hope of the gospel that you have heard, which has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become a minister.

tcent@Colossians:1:24 @ Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I do my share for the sake of his body, which is the church, in filling up what is lacking in Christ's afflictions.

tcent@Colossians:1:25 @ Of this church I became a minister according to the stewardship from God which was given to me for you, to make the word of God fully known,

tcent@Colossians:1:26 @ the mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the saints.

tcent@Colossians:1:27 @ To them God willed to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

tcent@Colossians:2:1 @ For I want you to know how greatly I strive for you, and for those at Laodicea, and for all who have not seen my face in the flesh,

tcent@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, that is, Christ himself,

tcent@Colossians:2:3 @ in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

tcent@Colossians:2:4 @ I say this so that no one may delude you with fine-sounding arguments.

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

tcent@Colossians:2:16 @ Therefore let no one judge you in questions of food or drink or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day.

tcent@Colossians:2:18 @ Let no one disqualify you for the prize by delighting in self-abasement and the worship of the angels, taking his stand on visions he has seen, puffed up without cause by his fleshly mind,

tcent@Colossians:2:19 @ and not holding fast to the head, from whom the whole body, nourished and held together by its joints and ligaments, grows with a growth that is from God.

tcent@Colossians:2:21 @ »Do not handle, do not taste, do not touch!«

tcent@Colossians:2:23 @ These indeed have an appearance of wisdom in promoting self-made religion and self-abasement and severe treatment of the body, but they are of no value against fleshly indulgence.

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

tcent@Colossians:3:8 @ But now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and filthy language from your mouth.

tcent@Colossians:3:9 @ Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old self with its practices

tcent@Colossians:3:10 @ and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator.

tcent@Colossians:3:11 @ Here there is no Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave and free, but Christ is all, and in all.

tcent@Colossians:3:13 @ bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord forgave you, so you also must forgive.

tcent@Colossians:3:16 @ Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs with thankfulness in your hearts to God.

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

tcent@Colossians:3:21 @ Fathers, do not provoke your children, or they will become discouraged.

tcent@Colossians:3:22 @ Slaves, in everything obey those who are your masters according to the flesh, not with eye-service, as men-pleasers, but in sincerity of heart, fearing the Lord.

tcent@Colossians:3:23 @ Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men,

tcent@Colossians:3:24 @ knowing that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.

tcent@Colossians:3:25 @ For he who does wrong will be paid back for the wrong he has done, and there is no partiality.

tcent@Colossians:4:1 @ Masters, provide your slaves with what is right and fair, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.

tcent@Colossians:4:6 @ Let your speech always be full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer everyone.

tcent@Colossians:4:8 @ I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know about our circumstances and that he may encourage your hearts;

tcent@1Thessalonians:1:4 @ For we know, brethren beloved by God, that he has chosen you;

tcent@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.

tcent@1Thessalonians:1:8 @ For not only has the word of the Lord sounded forth from you in Macedonia and Achaia, but your faith in God has gone forth everywhere, so that we have no need to say anything.

tcent@1Thessalonians:2:1 @ For you yourselves know, brethren, that our visit to you was not in vain;

tcent@1Thessalonians:2:2 @ but after we had already suffered and been shamefully treated in Philippi, as you know, we had the boldness in our God to speak to you the gospel of God in the face of great opposition.

tcent@1Thessalonians:2:3 @ For our appeal does not spring from error or impurity, nor is it made with deceit;

tcent@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.

tcent@1Thessalonians:2:5 @ For, as you know, we never used flattery nor a pretext for greed—God is witness—

tcent@1Thessalonians:2:6 @ nor did we seek glory from men, either from you or from others, though we might have made demands as apostles of Christ.

tcent@1Thessalonians:2:8 @ Having so fond an affection for you, we were ready to share with you not only the gospel of God but also our own lives, because you had become very dear to us.

tcent@1Thessalonians:2:9 @ For you remember our labor and toil, brethren; we worked night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you, while we preached to you the gospel of God.

tcent@1Thessalonians:2:11 @ for you know how, as a father with his own children, we exhorted each one of you and encouraged you and charged you

tcent@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 who believe.

tcent@1Thessalonians:2:17 @ But since we were taken away from 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.

tcent@1Thessalonians:2:19 @ For who is our hope or joy or crown of exultation? Is it not even you, in the presence of our Lord Jesus at his coming?

tcent@1Thessalonians:3:1 @ Therefore when we could endure it no longer, we thought it best to be left behind at Athens alone,

tcent@1Thessalonians:3:3 @ so that no one would be unsettled by these afflictions. You yourselves know that we have been destined for this.

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

tcent@1Thessalonians:3:5 @ For this reason, when I could endure it no longer, I also sent to find out about your faith, for fear that the tempter might have tempted you, and our labor would be in vain.

tcent@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, just as we long to see you—

tcent@1Thessalonians:3:8 @ for now we really live, if you stand firm in the Lord.

tcent@1Thessalonians:3:11 @ Now may our God and Father himself, and our Lord Jesus, direct our way to you;

tcent@1Thessalonians:3:12 @ and may the Lord make you increase and abound in love for one another and for all, just as we do for you,

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

tcent@1Thessalonians:4:4 @ that each one of you know how to take his own spouse for himself in holiness and honor,

tcent@1Thessalonians:4:5 @ not in the passion of lust like the heathen, who do not know God;

tcent@1Thessalonians:4:6 @ and that no man transgress and wrong his brother in this matter because the Lord is the avenger in all these things, just as we also told you before and solemnly warned you.

tcent@1Thessalonians:4:7 @ For God has not called us to impurity, but to holiness.

tcent@1Thessalonians:4:8 @ Therefore, he who rejects this instruction does not reject man but God, who gives you his Holy Spirit.

tcent@1Thessalonians:4:9 @ Now 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;

tcent@1Thessalonians:4:12 @ so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anyone.

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

tcent@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, will not precede those who have fallen asleep.

tcent@1Thessalonians:4:18 @ Therefore comfort one another with these words.

tcent@1Thessalonians:5:1 @ Now as to the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need to have anything written to you.

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

tcent@1Thessalonians:5:3 @ While people are saying, »Peace and safety,« then destruction will come upon them suddenly as labor pains upon a woman with child, and they will not escape.

tcent@1Thessalonians:5:4 @ But you, brethren, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief.

tcent@1Thessalonians:5:5 @ For you are all sons of light and sons of the day; we are not of the night or of darkness.

tcent@1Thessalonians:5:6 @ So then let us not sleep, as others do, but let us be alert and sober.

tcent@1Thessalonians:5:9 @ For God has not destined us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

tcent@1Thessalonians:5:11 @ Therefore encourage one another and build up one another, just as you also are doing.

tcent@1Thessalonians:5:13 @ and that you esteem them very highly in love because of their work. Live in peace with one another.

tcent@1Thessalonians:5:15 @ See that none of you repays evil for evil, but always seek to do good to one another and to all.

tcent@1Thessalonians:5:19 @ Do not quench the Spirit;

tcent@1Thessalonians:5:20 @ do not despise prophecies.

tcent@1Thessalonians:5:23 @ Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you entirely; and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

tcent@2Thessalonians:1:3 @ We ought 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.

tcent@2Thessalonians:1:8 @ inflicting vengeance on those who do not know God and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.

tcent@2Thessalonians:2:1 @ Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to him, we beg you, brethren,

tcent@2Thessalonians:2:2 @ not to be quickly shaken in mind or excited, either by spirit or by word, or by letter as if from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come.

tcent@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 destruction,

tcent@2Thessalonians:2:5 @ Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things?

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

tcent@2Thessalonians:2:7 @ For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he who now restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way.

tcent@2Thessalonians:2:12 @ so that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in wickedness.

tcent@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 by grace,

tcent@2Thessalonians:3:1 @ Finally, brethren, pray for us that the word of the Lord may spread rapidly and be honored, just as it did also with you,

tcent@2Thessalonians:3:2 @ and that we may be delivered from wicked and evil men; for not all have faith.

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

tcent@2Thessalonians:3:7 @ For you yourselves know how you ought to follow our example. We were not idle when we were with you,

tcent@2Thessalonians:3:8 @ nor did we eat anyone's bread without paying for it, but with labor and hardship we worked night and day so that we would not be a burden to any of you.

tcent@2Thessalonians:3:9 @ We did this, not because we do not have the right to such help, but in order to make ourselves an example for you to follow.

tcent@2Thessalonians:3:10 @ For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: »If anyone will not work, he shall not eat.«

tcent@2Thessalonians:3:11 @ For we hear that some among you are leading an undisciplined life, not doing any work at all, but acting like busybodies.

tcent@2Thessalonians:3:12 @ Now such persons we command and exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ to work in quiet fashion and earn their own bread to eat.

tcent@2Thessalonians:3:13 @ But as for you, brethren, do not grow weary of doing good.

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

tcent@2Thessalonians:3:15 @ Yet do not regard him as an enemy, but warn him as a brother.

tcent@2Thessalonians:3:16 @ Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in every way. The Lord be with you all.

tcent@1Timothy:1:3 @ As I urged you when I went into Macedonia, remain on at Ephesus so that you may instruct certain men not to teach strange doctrines,

tcent@1Timothy:1:4 @ nor to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies. These promote controversies rather than the divine training—which is by faith.

tcent@1Timothy:1:7 @ wanting to be teachers of the Law, even though they do not understand either what they are saying or the matters about which they make confident assertions.

tcent@1Timothy:1:8 @ But we know that the Law is good, if one uses it lawfully,

tcent@1Timothy:1:9 @ realizing the fact that law is not made for a righteous person, but for those who are lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers

tcent@1Timothy:1:13 @ Even though I was formerly a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent aggressor, I was shown mercy because I acted ignorantly in unbelief;

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

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

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

tcent@1Timothy:2:7 @ For this I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I am telling the truth, I am not lying) as a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

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

tcent@1Timothy:2:12 @ I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent.

tcent@1Timothy:2:14 @ And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor.

tcent@1Timothy:3:1 @ It is a trustworthy saying: if any one aspires to the office of overseer, he desires a noble task.

tcent@1Timothy:3:2 @ Now the overseer must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach,

tcent@1Timothy:3:3 @ not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money.

tcent@1Timothy:3:5 @ (If a man does not know how to manage his own household, how can he take care of God's church?).

tcent@1Timothy:4:3 @ who forbid marriage and advocate abstaining from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.

tcent@1Timothy:4:4 @ For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving;

tcent@1Timothy:4:6 @ If you point out these things to the brethren, you will be a good minister of Christ Jesus, constantly nourished on the words of the faith and of the good doctrine which you have followed.

tcent@1Timothy:4:7 @ Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives' tales; rather, train yourself in godliness.

tcent@1Timothy:5:3 @ Honor widows who are real widows.

tcent@1Timothy:5:5 @ Now she who is a real widow, and who has been left all alone, has set her hope on God and continues in supplications and prayers night and day.

tcent@1Timothy:5:8 @ If any one does not provide for his relatives, and especially for his own family, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

tcent@1Timothy:5:9 @ A widow is to be put on the list only if she is not less than sixty years old, having been the wife of one husband,

tcent@1Timothy:5:10 @ and she must be well known for her good deeds, as one who has brought up children, shown hospitality, washed the feet of the saints, relieved those in distress, and devoted herself to doing good in every way.

tcent@1Timothy:5:13 @ Besides, they learn to be idle, going about from house to house. And not only do they become idlers, but also gossips and busybodies, saying things they ought not to.

tcent@1Timothy:5:14 @ So I would have younger widows marry, bear children, manage their homes, and give the enemy no occasion for reproach.

tcent@1Timothy:5:16 @ If any woman who is a believer has dependent widows, she must assist them, and let not the church be burdened, so that it may assist those who are real widows.

tcent@1Timothy:5:17 @ The elders who rule well are to be considered worthy of double honor, especially those who work hard at preaching and teaching.

tcent@1Timothy:5:22 @ Do not be hasty in the laying on of hands, and do not share in the sins of others; keep yourself pure.

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

tcent@1Timothy:6:2 @ Those who have believing masters must not be disrespectful to them because they are brethren, but they must serve them all the better, because those who benefit by their service are believers and beloved.

tcent@Hebrews:1:14 @ Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to serve for the sake of those who will inherit salvation?

tcent@Hebrews:2:5 @ For it is not to angels that he subjected the world to come, about which we are speaking.

tcent@Hebrews:2:8 @ Now in putting everything in subjection to him, he left nothing that is not subject to him. As it is, we do not yet see everything subject to him.

tcent@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 everyone.

tcent@Hebrews:2:11 @ For both he who sanctifies and those who are being sanctified are all of one. That is why he is not ashamed to call them brethren,

tcent@Hebrews:2:16 @ For surely it is not with angels that he is concerned, but with the descendants of Abraham.

tcent@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.

tcent@Hebrews:3:5 @ Now Moses was faithful in all God's house as a servant, to testify to the things that were to be spoken later,

tcent@Hebrews:3:13 @ But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called »Today,« so that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.

tcent@Hebrews:3:16 @ Who were they who heard and rebelled? Were they not all those Moses led out of Egypt?

tcent@Hebrews:3:17 @ And with whom was he angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?

tcent@Hebrews:3:19 @ So we see that they were not able to enter because of unbelief.

tcent@Hebrews:4:2 @ For we also have had the good news preached to us, just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, because those who heard did not combine it with faith.

tcent@Hebrews:4:8 @ For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later of another day.

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

tcent@Hebrews:4:13 @ And there is no creature hidden from his sight, but all things are open and laid bare to the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

tcent@Hebrews:4:15 @ For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin.

tcent@Hebrews:5:2 @ He can deal gently with those who are ignorant and going astray, since he himself is beset with weakness.

tcent@Hebrews:5:4 @ And no one takes the honor upon himself, but he is called by God, just as Aaron was.

tcent@Hebrews:5:5 @ So also Christ did not exalt himself to become a high priest, but it was he who said to him,

tcent@Hebrews:5:6 @ as he says also in another place,

tcent@Hebrews:5:12 @ For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of God's word. You need milk, not solid food;

tcent@Hebrews:6:1 @ Therefore let us leave the elementary teachings about Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,

tcent@Hebrews:6:10 @ For God is not so unjust as to forget your work and the love which you have shown for his sake in serving the saints, as you still do.

tcent@Hebrews:6:12 @ so that you may not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

tcent@Hebrews:6:13 @ For when God made a promise to Abraham, since he had no one greater by whom to swear, he swore by himself,

tcent@Hebrews:7:3 @ Without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God, he remains a priest continually.

tcent@Hebrews:7:6 @ But this man whose genealogy is not derived from them received a tenth from Abraham and blessed him who had the promises.

tcent@Hebrews:7:11 @ Now if perfection could have been through the Levitical priesthood (for on the basis of it the people received the Law), what further need was there for another priest to arise according to the order of Melchizedek, and not one designated according to the order of Aaron?

tcent@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.

tcent@Hebrews:7:14 @ For it is evident that our Lord was descended from Judah, and in regard to that tribe Moses said nothing about priests.

tcent@Hebrews:7:15 @ This becomes even more evident if another priest arises in the likeness of Melchizedek,

tcent@Hebrews:7:16 @ who has become a priest not on the basis of a law of carnal requirement, but according to the power of an indestructible life.

tcent@Hebrews:7:19 @ (for the law made nothing perfect); and on the other hand, a better hope is introduced, through which we draw near to God.

tcent@Hebrews:7:20 @ And it was not without an oath.

tcent@Hebrews:7:27 @ He does not need, like those high priests, to offer up daily sacrifices, first for his own sins and then for the sins of the people, because he did this once for all when he offered up himself.

tcent@Hebrews:8:1 @ Now the point in what we are saying is this: we have such a high priest, one who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven,

tcent@Hebrews:8:2 @ a minister in the sanctuary, the true tabernacle which is set up by the Lord, not by man.

tcent@Hebrews:8:4 @ Now if he were on earth, he would not be a priest at all, since there are priests who offer the gifts according to the law.

tcent@Hebrews:8:7 @ For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no place sought for a second.

tcent@Hebrews:9:1 @ Now even the first covenant had regulations for worship and an earthly sanctuary.

tcent@Hebrews:9:5 @ and above it were the cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat. But of these things we cannot now speak in detail.

tcent@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 sins of the people committed in ignorance.

tcent@Hebrews:9:8 @ The Holy Spirit was showing by this that the way into the holy place had not yet been disclosed as long as the outer tabernacle was still standing.

tcent@Hebrews:9:9 @ This is symbolic for the present time. According to this arrangement, gifts and sacrifices are offered which cannot perfect the conscience of the worshiper,

tcent@Hebrews:9:11 @ But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things that have come, he entered through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation.

tcent@Hebrews:9:12 @ He did not enter by means of the blood of goats and calves, but he entered the holy place once for all by his own blood, having obtained eternal redemption.

tcent@Hebrews:9:15 @ For this reason he is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the transgressions committed under the first covenant.

tcent@Hebrews:9:18 @ This is why even the first covenant was not ratified without blood.

tcent@Hebrews:9:22 @ Indeed, under the law almost everything is cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins.

tcent@Hebrews:9:24 @ For Christ did not enter a holy place made with hands, a copy of the true one, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us.

tcent@Hebrews:9:25 @ Nor was it that he should offer himself again and again, as the high priest enters the holy place year by year with blood not his own.

tcent@Hebrews:9:26 @ For then he would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But now, he has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

tcent@Hebrews:9:28 @ so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to bear sin but to bring salvation to those who are eagerly waiting for him.

tcent@Hebrews:10:1 @ For since the law has only a shadow of the good things to come and not the true form of these realities, it can never, by the same sacrifices which are continually offered year after year, make perfect those who draw near.

tcent@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 sins.

tcent@Hebrews:10:8 @ When he said above, »You did not desire, nor did you take pleasure in sacrifices and offerings and burnt offerings and sin offerings« (these are offered according to the law),

tcent@Hebrews:10:18 @ Where there is forgiveness of these, there is no longer any offering for sin.

tcent@Hebrews:10:24 @ and let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works,

tcent@Hebrews:10:25 @ not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more, as you see the Day drawing near.

tcent@Hebrews:10:26 @ For if we sin deliberately after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,

tcent@Hebrews:10:30 @ For we know him who said, And again,

tcent@Hebrews:10:35 @ Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward.

tcent@Hebrews:10:39 @ But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who have faith and keep their souls.

tcent@Hebrews:11:1 @ Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.

tcent@Hebrews:11:3 @ By faith we understand that the world was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible.

tcent@Hebrews:11:5 @ By faith Enoch was taken up so that he should not see death; and he was not found, because God had taken him. For before he was taken he was attested as having pleased God.

tcent@Hebrews:11:7 @ By faith Noah, being warned by God about things not yet seen, in godly fear prepared an ark for the salvation of his household, by which he condemned the world, and became an heir of the righteousness which comes by faith.

tcent@Hebrews:11:8 @ By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place which he was to receive as an inheritance; and he went out, not knowing where he was going.

tcent@Hebrews:11:13 @ These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them and greeted them from a distance, and having acknowledged that they were strangers and exiles on the earth.

tcent@Hebrews:11:16 @ But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared for them a city.

tcent@Hebrews:11:23 @ By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents, because they saw he was a beautiful child; and they were not afraid of the king's edict.

tcent@Hebrews:11:27 @ By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the anger of the king; for he endured as seeing him who is invisible.

tcent@Hebrews:11:28 @ By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of the blood, so the destroyer of the firstborn would not touch them.

tcent@Hebrews:11:31 @ By faith Rahab the harlot did not perish with those who were disobedient, because she had welcomed the spies.

tcent@Hebrews:11:38 @ of whom the world was not worthy – wandering in deserts and mountains, and in caves and holes in the ground.

tcent@Hebrews:11:39 @ And all these, though well attested by their faith, did not receive what was promised,

tcent@Hebrews:11:40 @ because God had provided something better for us, that apart from us they should not be made perfect.

tcent@Hebrews:12:3 @ Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself, so that you may not grow weary and lose heart.

tcent@Hebrews:12:4 @ In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood.

tcent@Hebrews:12:7 @ It is for discipline that you endure. God is treating you as sons; for what son is there whom his father does not discipline?

tcent@Hebrews:12:8 @ If you are left without discipline, in which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate children and not sons.

tcent@Hebrews:12:9 @ Besides this, we have had fathers of our flesh to discipline us and we respected them. Shall we not much more be subject to the Father of spirits and live?

tcent@Hebrews:12:13 @ and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be put out of joint, but rather be healed.

tcent@Hebrews:12:14 @ Strive for peace with all men, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord.

tcent@Hebrews:12:15 @ See to it that no one comes short of the grace of God; that no root of bitterness spring up and cause trouble, and by it many become defiled;

tcent@Hebrews:12:16 @ that no one be immoral or godless like Esau, who sold his own birthright for a single meal.

tcent@Hebrews:12:17 @ For you know that afterward, when he desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for repentance, though he sought it diligently with tears.

tcent@Hebrews:12:18 @ For you have not come to a mountain that can be touched and to a blazing fire, and to darkness and gloom and whirlwind,

tcent@Hebrews:12:19 @ and the blast of a trumpet, and the sound of a voice whose words made the hearers beg that no further word be spoken to them.

tcent@Hebrews:12:20 @ For they could not endure the order that was given, »If even a beast touches the mountain, it shall be stoned.«

tcent@Hebrews:12:25 @ See to it that you do not refuse him who is speaking. For if they did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, how much less shall we escape, if we turn away from him who warns us from heaven?

tcent@Hebrews:12:26 @ Then his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, »Yet once more I will shake not only the earth, but also heaven.«

tcent@Hebrews:12:27 @ This phrase, »Yet once more,« indicates the removing of those things which can be shaken, as of created things, in order that what cannot be shaken may remain.

tcent@Hebrews:12:28 @ Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and offer to God acceptable worship with reverence and awe,

tcent@Hebrews:13:2 @ Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it.

tcent@Hebrews:13:4 @ Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled; for God will judge the immoral and adulterous.

tcent@Hebrews:13:5 @ Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, for God has said, »I will never leave you, nor will I forsake you.«

tcent@Hebrews:13:9 @ Do not be carried away by varied and strange teachings; for it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace, not by foods, through which those who were so occupied were not benefited.

tcent@Hebrews:13:10 @ We have an altar from which those who serve the tabernacle have no right to eat.

tcent@Hebrews:13:14 @ For here we do not have an enduring city, but we are looking for the city which is to come.

tcent@Hebrews:13:15 @ Through him then let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that acknowledge his name.

tcent@Hebrews:13:16 @ Do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.

tcent@Hebrews:13:17 @ Obey your leaders and submit to them; for they are keeping watch over your souls, as men who will have to give account. Let them do this with joy, and not with grief, for that would be of no advantage to you.

tcent@Hebrews:13:18 @ Pray for us, for we are sure that we have a clear conscience, desiring to live honorably in all things.

tcent@Hebrews:13:20 @ Now may the God of peace who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the eternal covenant,

tcent@Hebrews:13:23 @ You should know that our brother Timothy has been released, with whom I will see you if he comes soon.

tcent@James:1:3 @ for you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance.

tcent@James:1:4 @ And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

tcent@James:1:6 @ But he must ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind.

tcent@James:1:7 @ For that man ought not to expect that he will receive anything from the Lord,

tcent@James:1:13 @ Let no one say when he is tempted, »I am being tempted by God«; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and he himself does not tempt anyone.

tcent@James:1:16 @ Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren.

tcent@James:1:17 @ Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow.

tcent@James:1:19 @ This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger,

tcent@James:1:20 @ for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God.

tcent@James:1:22 @ But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who deceive themselves.

tcent@James:1:23 @ For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror;

tcent@James:1:25 @ But one who looks intently into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and abides by it, not having become a forgetful hearer but a doer that acts, this man will be blessed in what he does.

tcent@James:1:26 @ If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man's religion is worthless.

tcent@James:2:1 @ My brethren, show no favoritism as you hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ.

tcent@James:2:4 @ have you not made distinctions among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?

tcent@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?

tcent@James:2:6 @ But you have dishonored the poor man. Is it not the rich who oppress you? Is it not they who drag you into court?

tcent@James:2:7 @ Is it not they who blaspheme the honorable name by which you have been called?

tcent@James:2:11 @ For he who said, »Do not commit adultery,« said also, »Do not murder.« If you do not commit adultery but do commit murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.

tcent@James:2:13 @ For judgment will be without mercy to one who has shown no mercy; mercy triumphs over judgment.

tcent@James:2:14 @ What good is it, my brethren, if a man says he has faith but has no works? Can such faith save him?

tcent@James:2:16 @ and one of you says to them, »Go in peace, be warmed and filled,« and yet you do not give them what is necessary for their body, what use is that?

tcent@James:2:17 @ So faith by itself, if it has no works, is dead.

tcent@James:2:20 @ But are you willing to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is useless?

tcent@James:2:21 @ Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up Isaac his son on the altar?

tcent@James:2:24 @ You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone.

tcent@James:2:25 @ In the same way was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works, when she received the messengers and sent them out by another way?

tcent@James:3:1 @ Let not many of you become teachers, my brethren, for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness.

tcent@James:3:2 @ For we all stumble in many ways. If anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body as well.

tcent@James:3:8 @ But no man can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.

tcent@James:3:10 @ From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brethren, this ought not to be so.

tcent@James:3:12 @ Can a fig tree, my brethren, produce olives, or a grapevine produce figs? Nor can salt water produce fresh.

tcent@James:3:14 @ But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth.

tcent@James:3:15 @ This wisdom is not such as comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic.

tcent@James:4:1 @ What causes quarrels and fights among you? Is it not your passions that are at war in your members?

tcent@James:4:2 @ You desire and do not have; so you kill. And you covet and cannot obtain; so you fight and quarrel. You do not have, because you do not ask.

tcent@James:4:3 @ You ask and do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it on your pleasures.

tcent@James:4:4 @ You adulteresses, do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

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

tcent@James:4:13 @ Come now, you who say, »Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, and spend a year there and engage in business and make a profit.«

tcent@James:4:14 @ Yet you do not know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.

tcent@James:4:17 @ Therefore, to one who knows the right thing to do and does not do it, to him it is sin.

tcent@James:5:1 @ Come now, you rich, weep and howl for the miseries that are coming upon you.

tcent@James:5:6 @ You have condemned and put to death the righteous man; he does not resist you.

tcent@James:5:9 @ Do not grumble, brethren, against one another, that you may not be judged; behold, the Judge is standing at the door.

tcent@James:5:12 @ But above all, my brethren, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or with any other oath, but let your yes be yes and your no be no, that you may not fall under condemnation.

tcent@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;

tcent@James:5:16 @ Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.

tcent@James:5:17 @ Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the earth for three years and six months.

tcent@James:5:20 @ let him know that whoever turns a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.

tcent@1Peter:1:2 @ who have been chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, by the sanctifying work of the Spirit, for obedience to Jesus Christ and sprinkling with his blood: may grace and peace be yours in abundance.

tcent@1Peter:1:4 @ to obtain an inheritance which is imperishable and undefiled and will not fade away, kept in heaven for you,

tcent@1Peter:1:6 @ In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have to suffer various trials,

tcent@1Peter:1:7 @ so that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

tcent@1Peter:1:8 @ Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and rejoice with an inexpressible and glorious joy,

tcent@1Peter:1:11 @ seeking to know what person or time the Spirit of Christ within them was indicating when he predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories to follow.

tcent@1Peter:1:12 @ It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves, but you, in these things which now have been announced to you through those who preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven—things into which angels long to look.

tcent@1Peter:1:14 @ As obedient children, do not be conformed to the former lusts which were yours in your ignorance,

tcent@1Peter:1:18 @ You know that you were redeemed from the futile way of life inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold,

tcent@1Peter:1:22 @ Since you have purified your souls by obedience to the truth for a sincere love of the brethren, love one another earnestly from the heart.

tcent@1Peter:1:23 @ For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God.

tcent@1Peter:2:7 @ To you therefore who believe, this is precious, but for those who do not believe,

tcent@1Peter:2:14 @ or to governors as sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to praise those who do right.

tcent@1Peter:2:15 @ For it is God's will that by doing right you should silence the ignorance of foolish men.

tcent@1Peter:2:16 @ Live as free men, but do not use your freedom as a covering for evil; live as servants of God.

tcent@1Peter:2:17 @ Honor all people, love the brotherhood, fear God, honor the king.

tcent@1Peter:2:18 @ Servants, be submissive to your masters with all respect, not only to those who are good and gentle, but also to those who are overbearing.

tcent@1Peter:2:23 @ when he was reviled, he did not revile in return; when he suffered, he uttered no threats, but he trusted himself to him who judges justly.

tcent@1Peter:2:25 @ For you were straying like sheep, but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Guardian of your souls.

tcent@1Peter:3:1 @ You wives, in the same way be submissive to your husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without a word by the behavior of their wives,

tcent@1Peter:3:3 @ Your adornment must not be merely outward—braiding the hair, and wearing gold jewelry, or putting on fine clothing;

tcent@1Peter:3:6 @ just as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord. And you are her children if you do what is right and are not frightened by any fear.

tcent@1Peter:3:7 @ Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with honor as the weaker partner, since you are joint heirs of the grace of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered.

tcent@1Peter:3:8 @ Finally, all of you, live in harmony with one another; be sympathetic, love as brothers, be compassionate and humble in spirit.

tcent@1Peter:3:9 @ Do not return evil for evil or insult for insult, but give a blessing instead; for to this you were called, that you may inherit a blessing.

tcent@1Peter:3:14 @ But even if you should suffer for the sake of righteousness, you are blessed. Do not fear their intimidation, and do not be troubled,

tcent@1Peter:3:20 @ who formerly did not obey, when the patience of God waited in the days of Noah, during the building of the ark, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were saved through water.

tcent@1Peter:3:21 @ And corresponding to that, baptism now saves you—not the removal of dirt from the flesh, but an appeal to God for a good conscience—through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

tcent@1Peter:4:2 @ so as to live the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for human lusts, but for the will of God.

tcent@1Peter:4:3 @ For you have spent enough time in the past doing what the Gentiles like to do, living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing, and lawless idolatry.

tcent@1Peter:4:4 @ In all this, they are surprised that you do not run with them into the same flood of dissipation, and they abuse you;

tcent@1Peter:4:8 @ Above all, hold unfailing your love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins.

tcent@1Peter:4:9 @ Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling.

tcent@1Peter:4:10 @ As each one has received a special gift, employ it in serving one another as good stewards of God's varied grace.

tcent@1Peter:4:12 @ Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal which comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you.

tcent@1Peter:4:15 @ But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or a wrongdoer, or a troublesome meddler;

tcent@1Peter:4:16 @ yet if one suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but under that name let him glorify God.

tcent@1Peter:4:17 @ For it is time for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins with us, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God?

tcent@1Peter:5:2 @ shepherd the flock of God that is under your care, serving as overseers—not under compulsion, but voluntarily, according to the will of God; and not for sordid gain, but with eagerness;

tcent@1Peter:5:3 @ not as lording it over those in your charge, but being examples to the flock.

tcent@1Peter:5:5 @ Likewise you that are younger men be subject to the elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for

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

tcent@2Peter:1:3 @ His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and excellence.

tcent@2Peter:1:5 @ For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith virtue; and to virtue, knowledge,

tcent@2Peter:1:6 @ and to knowledge, self-control, and to self-control, perseverance, and to perseverance, godliness,

tcent@2Peter:1:8 @ For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

tcent@2Peter:1:12 @ Therefore I will always remind you of these things, even though you know them and are firmly established in the truth you now have.

tcent@2Peter:1:14 @ since I know that the putting aside of my body will be soon, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me.

tcent@2Peter:1:16 @ For we did not follow cleverly devised tales when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.

tcent@2Peter:1:17 @ For he received honor and glory from God the Father when the voice came to him by the Majestic Glory, saying, »This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.«

tcent@2Peter:1:20 @ First of all you must understand this, that no prophecy of scripture is a matter of one's own interpretation,

tcent@2Peter:1:21 @ for no prophecy was ever made by the act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.

tcent@2Peter:2:3 @ And in their greed they will exploit you with false words; from long ago their condemnation has not been idle, and their destruction has not been asleep.

tcent@2Peter:2:4 @ For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell and committed them to pits of darkness, to be reserved for judgment;

tcent@2Peter:2:5 @ and if he did not spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah, a preacher of righteousness, with seven others, when he brought a flood upon the world of the ungodly;

tcent@2Peter:2:9 @ then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trial, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment for the day of judgment,

tcent@2Peter:2:11 @ whereas angels, though greater in power and might, do not bring a reviling judgment against them before the Lord.

tcent@2Peter:2:12 @ But these, like irrational animals, creatures of instinct, born to be caught and killed, reviling in matters of which they are ignorant, will be destroyed in the same destruction with them,

tcent@2Peter:2:20 @ For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world by the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and are overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first.

tcent@2Peter:2:21 @ For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn away from the holy commandment handed on to them.

tcent@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;

tcent@2Peter:3:5 @ They deliberately ignore this fact, that by the word of God heavens existed long ago, and the earth was formed out of water and by means of water,

tcent@2Peter:3:8 @ But do not ignore this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day.

tcent@2Peter:3:9 @ The Lord is not slow about his promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.

tcent@2Peter:3:16 @ He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.

tcent@2Peter:3:17 @ You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, be on your guard so that you are not carried away by the error of lawless men and fall from your own steadfastness.

tcent@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.

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

tcent@1John:1:6 @ If we say we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not live according to the truth.

tcent@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.

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

tcent@1John:1:10 @ If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

tcent@1John:2:1 @ My little children, I write this to you so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.

tcent@1John:2:2 @ And he is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world.

tcent@1John:2:3 @ Now by this we know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.

tcent@1John:2:4 @ He who says, »I know him,« but does not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

tcent@1John:2:5 @ But whoever keeps his word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in him:

tcent@1John:2:7 @ Beloved, I am writing you no new commandment, but an old commandment that you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word that you have heard.

tcent@1John:2:10 @ He who loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no cause for stumbling in him.

tcent@1John:2:11 @ But he who hates his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

tcent@1John:2:15 @ Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

tcent@1John:2:16 @ For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world.

tcent@1John:2:18 @ Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come; by this we know that it is the last hour.

tcent@1John:2:19 @ They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out that it might be plain that none of them were of us.

tcent@1John:2:20 @ But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you all know.

tcent@1John:2:21 @ I write to you, not because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and because no lie is of the truth.

tcent@1John:2:23 @ No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also.

tcent@1John:2:27 @ But the anointing which you have received from him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as his anointing teaches you about all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, abide in him.

tcent@1John:2:28 @ And now, little children, abide in him, so that when he appears we may have confidence and not be ashamed before him at his coming.

tcent@1John:2:29 @ If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone who does right is born of him.

tcent@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.

tcent@1John:3:2 @ Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when he appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.

tcent@1John:3:5 @ And you know that he appeared to take away our sins, and in him there is no sin.

tcent@1John:3:6 @ No one who abides in him sins. No one who sins has either seen him or known him.

tcent@1John:3:7 @ Little children, let no one deceive you. He who does right is righteous, just as he is righteous.

tcent@1John:3:9 @ No one who is of God practices sin, for God’s seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.

tcent@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.

tcent@1John:3:11 @ For this is the message which you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another,

tcent@1John:3:12 @ and not be like Cain who was of the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own deeds were evil and his brother's righteous.

tcent@1John:3:13 @ Do not marvel, my brethren, if the world hates you.

tcent@1John:3:14 @ We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love abides in death.

tcent@1John:3:15 @ Anyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.

tcent@1John:3:16 @ By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

tcent@1John:3:18 @ Little children, let us not love in word or tongue but in deed and in truth.

tcent@1John:3:19 @ By this we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him

tcent@1John:3:20 @ whenever our hearts condemn us; for God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything.

tcent@1John:3:21 @ Beloved, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God;

tcent@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.

tcent@1John:3:24 @ Now those who keep his commandments abide in him, and he in them. And by this we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit whom he has given us.

tcent@1John:4:1 @ Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

tcent@1John:4:2 @ By this you know the Spirit of God: every Spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God,

tcent@1John:4:3 @ and every spirit which does not confess Jesus is not of God. This is the spirit of the Antichrist, of which you have heard that it was coming, and now it is in the world already.

tcent@1John:4:6 @ We are of God. Whoever knows God listens to us; he who is not of God does not listen to us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.

tcent@1John:4:7 @ Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.

tcent@1John:4:8 @ He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.

tcent@1John:4:10 @ In this is love, not that we loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins.

tcent@1John:4:11 @ Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

tcent@1John:4:12 @ No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us.

tcent@1John:4:13 @ By this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit.

tcent@1John:4:16 @ So we know and believe the love God has for us.

tcent@1John:4:18 @ There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. And he who fears is not made perfect in love.

tcent@1John:4:20 @ If anyone 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.

tcent@1John:5:2 @ By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and obey his commandments.

tcent@1John:5:3 @ For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome.

tcent@1John:5:6 @ This is he who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ; not only by water, but by water and blood.

tcent@1John:5:10 @ He who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. He who does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has given of his Son.

tcent@1John:5:12 @ He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.

tcent@1John:5:13 @ I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life.

tcent@1John:5:15 @ And if we know that he hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him.

tcent@1John:5:16 @ If anyone sees his brother commit a sin that does not lead to death, he will ask, and God will give him life for those whose sin is not leading to death. There is sin leading to death. I do not say that he should pray about that.

tcent@1John:5:17 @ All wrongdoing is sin, and there is sin that does not lead to death.

tcent@1John:5:18 @ We know that anyone born of God does not sin; but he who was born of God keeps him, and the evil one does not touch him.

tcent@1John:5:19 @ We know that we are of God, and the whole world is under the power of the evil one.

tcent@1John:5:20 @ And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, that we may know him who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.

tcent@2John:1:1 @ The elder to the chosen lady and her children, whom I love in the truth; and not only I, but also all who know the truth,

tcent@2John:1:5 @ And now I ask 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.

tcent@2John:1:7 @ For many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist.

tcent@2John:1:8 @ Watch yourselves, that you do not lose what you have worked for, but that you may receive a full reward.

tcent@2John:1:9 @ Anyone who runs ahead and does not abide in the teaching of Christ does not have God; he who abides in the teaching has both the Father and the Son.

tcent@2John:1:10 @ If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house or give him any greeting;

tcent@2John:1:12 @ Though I have much to write to you, I do not want to use paper and ink, but I hope to come to see you and talk with you face to face, so that our joy may be complete.

tcent@3John:1:4 @ I have no greater joy than this, to hear that my children are walking in the truth.

tcent@3John:1:7 @ For they went out for the sake of the Name, accepting nothing from the Gentiles.

tcent@3John:1:9 @ I wrote something to the church; but Diotrephes, who loves to be first among them, does not accept what we say.

tcent@3John:1:10 @ So if I come, I will call attention to what he is doing, gossiping against us with evil words. And not satisfied with that, he refuses himself to welcome the brethren, and also stops those who want to welcome them and puts them out of the church.

tcent@3John:1:11 @ Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. The one who does good is of God; the one who does evil has not seen God.

tcent@3John:1:12 @ Demetrius has received a good testimony from everyone, and from the truth itself; and we add our testimony, and you know that our testimony is true.

tcent@3John:1:13 @ I had much to write you, but I do not want to do so with pen and ink;

tcent@Jude:1:5 @ Now I desire to remind you, though you were once for all fully informed, that the Lord who saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe.

tcent@Jude:1:6 @ And the angels who did not keep their own domain, but abandoned their proper abode, he has kept in eternal chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day,

tcent@Jude:1:9 @ But Michael the archangel, when he disputed with the devil and argued about the body of Moses, did not dare pronounce against him a reviling judgment, but said, »The Lord rebuke you!«

tcent@Jude:1:10 @ But these men revile whatever they do not understand; and the things that they know by instinct, like unreasoning animals do, by these things they are destroyed.

tcent@Jude:1:14 @ It was also about these men that Enoch, in the seventh generation from Adam, prophesied, saying, »Behold, the Lord came with many thousands of his holy ones,

tcent@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 great joy,

tcent@Jude:1:25 @ to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen.

tcent@Revelation:1:1 @ The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show to his servants what must soon take place. And he made it known by sending his angel to his servant John,

tcent@Revelation:1:14 @ His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and his eyes were like a flame of fire;

tcent@Revelation:1:17 @ And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. But he laid his right hand on me, saying, »Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last,

tcent@Revelation:1:19 @ Write, therefore, what you have seen, what is now and what will take place after this.

tcent@Revelation:2:2 @ I know your works, your toil and your patient endurance. I know that you cannot bear evil men, but you have tested those who call themselves apostles and are not, and have found them to be false;

tcent@Revelation:2:3 @ I know you have persevered and have endured for my name's sake, and you have not grown weary.

tcent@Revelation:2:5 @ Remember then from where you have fallen, repent and do the works you did at first. If not, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent.

tcent@Revelation:2:9 @ I know your tribulation and your poverty (but you are rich) and I know the slander of those who say that they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.

tcent@Revelation:2:10 @ Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and for ten days you will have tribulation. Be faithful even until death, and I will give you the crown of life.

tcent@Revelation:2:11 @ He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes will not be hurt at all by the second death.’

tcent@Revelation:2:13 @ I know your works, and where you dwell, where Satan's throne is. And you hold fast to my name, and did not deny my faith even in the days of Antipas my faithful witness, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells.

tcent@Revelation:2:17 @ He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna. And I will give him a white stone, with a new name written on the stone which no one knows except him who receives it.’

tcent@Revelation:2:19 @ I know your works, your love and faith, your service and perseverance, and that your works are now more than at the first.

tcent@Revelation:2:23 @ And I will strike her children dead. And all the churches shall know that I am he who searches minds and hearts, and I will give to each of you according to your works.

tcent@Revelation:2:24 @ But to the rest of you in Thyatira, who do not hold this teaching, who have not learned what some call the deep things of Satan, to you I say, I will not lay upon you any other burden;

tcent@Revelation:3:2 @ Wake up, and strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have not found your works perfect in the sight of my God.

tcent@Revelation:3:3 @ Remember therefore what you have received and heard; keep it, and repent. But if you will not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come upon you.

tcent@Revelation:3:4 @ Yet you have a few names in Sardis, people who have not soiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white, for they are worthy.

tcent@Revelation:3:5 @ He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before my Father and before his angels.

tcent@Revelation:3:8 @ I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word, and have not denied my name.

tcent@Revelation:3:9 @ Behold, I will make those of the synagogue of Satan who say that they are Jews and are not, but lie—look, I will make them come and bow down before your feet, and know that I have loved you.

tcent@Revelation:3:11 @ I am coming soon; hold fast to what you have, so that no one may take your crown.

tcent@Revelation:3:15 @ I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot!

tcent@Revelation:3:16 @ So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spit you out of my mouth.

tcent@Revelation:3:17 @ You say, »I am rich; I have become wealthy, and have need of nothing«—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked,

tcent@Revelation:3:18 @ Therefore I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the 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.

tcent@Revelation:3:20 @ Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If any one hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.

tcent@Revelation:4:9 @ And whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to him who sits on the throne, who lives for ever and ever,

tcent@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.

tcent@Revelation:5:4 @ And I wept greatly because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or to look into it.

tcent@Revelation:5:5 @ Then one of the elders said to me, »Weep not; behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has conquered, so that he can open the scroll and its seven seals.«

tcent@Revelation:6:4 @ And out came a horse, bright red; its rider was permitted to take peace from the earth, so that men should slay one another; and to him was given a great sword.

tcent@Revelation:6:6 @ And I heard what sounded like a voice in the center of the four living creatures saying, »A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not damage the oil and the wine!«

tcent@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 would blow on the earth or the sea or on any tree.

tcent@Revelation:7:2 @ Then I saw another angel ascend from the rising of the sun, having the seal of the living God, and he called out with a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm the earth and sea,

tcent@Revelation:7:3 @ saying, »Do not harm the earth, the sea, or the trees until we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.«

tcent@Revelation:7:9 @ After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could count, from every nation and all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, and palm branches were in their hands;

tcent@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.

tcent@Revelation:8:3 @ Another angel, who had a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. And he was given much incense to offer, with the prayers of all the saints, on the golden altar before the throne.

tcent@Revelation:9:4 @ They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any green growth or any tree, but only those of mankind who have not the seal of God on their foreheads.

tcent@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.

tcent@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.

tcent@Revelation:9:20 @ The rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands nor give up worshipping demons and idols of gold and silver and bronze and stone and wood, which can neither see nor hear nor walk;

tcent@Revelation:9:21 @ nor did they repent of their murders, their sorceries, their sexual immorality or their thefts.

tcent@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.

tcent@Revelation:10:4 @ And when the seven thunders had sounded, I was about to write; but I heard a voice from heaven saying, »Seal up what the seven thunders have said, and do not write it down.«

tcent@Revelation:10:6 @ who created heaven and the things in it, the earth and the things in it, and the sea and the things in it, that there will be no more delay,

tcent@Revelation:10:7 @ but in the days of the trumpet of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, then the mystery of God will be finished, as he announced to his servants the prophets.

tcent@Revelation:11:2 @ But leave out the court outside the temple and do not measure it, for it has been given over to the nations; and they will trample over the holy city for forty-two months.

tcent@Revelation:11:6 @ These have the power to shut up the sky, so that rain will not fall during the days of their prophesying; and they have power over the waters to turn them into blood, and to strike the earth with every plague, as often as they desire.

tcent@Revelation:11:10 @ And those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them and celebrate; and they will send gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth.

tcent@Revelation:12:3 @ Then another sign appeared in heaven: and behold, a great red dragon with seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads were seven diadems.

tcent@Revelation:12:6 @ And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, in which to be nourished for one thousand two hundred and sixty days.

tcent@Revelation:12:8 @ but they were not strong enough, and there was no longer a place found for them in heaven.

tcent@Revelation:12:14 @ But the woman was given the two wings of the great eagle, so that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is to be nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent.

tcent@Revelation:13:8 @ and all who dwell on earth will worship it, every one whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb that was slain.

tcent@Revelation:13:11 @ Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb and he spoke like a dragon.

tcent@Revelation:13:14 @ And he deceives those who dwell on the earth because of the signs which he was given power to do in the presence of the beast. He ordered them to make an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived.

tcent@Revelation:13:15 @ And it was given to him 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 killed.

tcent@Revelation:13:17 @ so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name.

tcent@Revelation:14:3 @ And they sang a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and before the elders. No one could learn the song except the hundred and forty-four thousand who had been redeemed from the earth.

tcent@Revelation:14:4 @ These are the ones who have not been defiled with women, for they have kept themselves chaste. These are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. They have been purchased from among men as first fruits to God and to the Lamb.

tcent@Revelation:14:5 @ And no lie was found in their mouth; they are blameless.

tcent@Revelation:14:6 @ Then I saw another angel flying in midheaven, having an eternal gospel to proclaim to those who live on the earth, and to every nation and tribe and tongue and people;

tcent@Revelation:14:8 @ And another angel, a second, followed, saying, »Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, she who made all the nations drink the wine of her impure passion.«

tcent@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,

tcent@Revelation:14:11 @ And the smoke of their torment goes up for ever and ever; they have no rest day and night, those who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.«

tcent@Revelation:14:13 @ And I heard a voice from heaven, saying, »Write, ‘Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on!’« »Yes,« says the Spirit, »that they may rest from their labors, for their deeds follow them.«

tcent@Revelation:14:15 @ And another angel came out of the temple, crying out with a loud voice to him who sat on the cloud, »Put in your sickle and reap, for the hour to reap has come, because the harvest of the earth is ripe.«

tcent@Revelation:14:17 @ And another angel came out of the temple in heaven, and he too had a sharp sickle.

tcent@Revelation:14:18 @ Then another angel came out from the altar, the one who has power over fire, and he called with a loud voice to him who had the sharp sickle, »Put in your sharp sickle, and gather the clusters from the vine of the earth, because its grapes are ripe.«

tcent@Revelation:15:1 @ Then I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous, seven angels with seven plagues, which are the last, because with them the wrath of God is finished.

tcent@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 completed.

tcent@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.

tcent@Revelation:16:11 @ and they cursed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and they did not repent of their deeds.

tcent@Revelation:16:15 @ (»Behold, I am coming like a thief! Blessed is he who stays awake and keeps his clothes with him, so that he may not go naked and be shamefully exposed.«)

tcent@Revelation:16:18 @ And there were flashes of lightning and voices and peals of thunder; and there was a great earthquake, such as there had not been since man came to be on the earth, so great an earthquake was it, and so mighty.

tcent@Revelation:16:20 @ And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.

tcent@Revelation:17:8 @ The beast that you saw was, and is not, and is about to come up out of the abyss and go to destruction. And those who dwell on the earth, whose names have not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, will wonder when they see the beast, because he was and is not and will come.

tcent@Revelation:17:10 @ And they are also seven kings; five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come; and when he comes, he must remain a little while.

tcent@Revelation:17:11 @ The beast who was, and is not, is an eighth. He belongs to the seven and he goes to destruction.

tcent@Revelation:17:12 @ And the ten horns which you saw are ten kings, who have not yet received a kingdom, but they receive authority as kings with the beast for one hour.

tcent@Revelation:18:1 @ After this I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority; and the earth was made bright with his splendor.

tcent@Revelation:18:4 @ Then I heard another voice from heaven, saying,

tcent@Revelation:18:11 @ And the merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her, because no one buys their cargoes any more—

tcent@Revelation:19:10 @ Then I fell 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.«

tcent@Revelation:19:12 @ His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems; and he has a name written on him which no one knows but himself.

tcent@Revelation:20:3 @ and he threw him into the abyss, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he would not deceive the nations any more, until the thousand years were ended. After these things he must be released for a short time.

tcent@Revelation:20:4 @ Then I saw thrones, and seated on them were those to whom judgment was given. Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony to Jesus and because of the word of God, and who had not worshipped the beast or his image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life, and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

tcent@Revelation:20:5 @ The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended. This is the first resurrection.

tcent@Revelation:20:6 @ Blessed and holy is the one who has a part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him for a thousand years.

tcent@Revelation:20:11 @ Then I saw a great white throne and him who sat upon it; from his presence earth and sky fled away, and no place was found for them.

tcent@Revelation:20:12 @ And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Also another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to what they had done.

tcent@Revelation:20:15 @ And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.

tcent@Revelation:21:1 @ Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea.

tcent@Revelation:21:4 @ he will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will there be mourning nor crying nor pain any more, for the former things have passed away.«

tcent@Revelation:21:13 @ There were three gates on the east, three gates on the north, three gates on the south, and three gates on the west.

tcent@Revelation:21:22 @ And I saw no temple in the city, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.

tcent@Revelation:21:23 @ And the city has no need of the sun or of the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and its lamp is the Lamb.

tcent@Revelation:21:25 @ In the daytime (for there will be no night there) its gates will never be shut;

tcent@Revelation:21:26 @ they will bring into it the glory and the honor of the nations.

tcent@Revelation:21:27 @ Nothing unclean shall enter it, nor any one who practices abomination or falsehood, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb's book of life.

tcent@Revelation:22:3 @ There will no longer be any curse; and the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants will serve him.

tcent@Revelation:22:5 @ And there will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light; and they will reign for ever and ever.

tcent@Revelation:22:9 @ But he said to me, »Do not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brethren the prophets, and with those who keep the words of this book. Worship God.«

tcent@Revelation:22:10 @ And he said to me, »Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is near.
