tcent@Romans:1:5 @ Through him we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith for the sake of his name among all the nations,

tcent@Romans:1:9 @ For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I mention you always in my prayers,

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:1:11 @ For I long to see you, so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you—

tcent@Romans:1:12 @ that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith.

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:1:14 @ I am under obligation both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish:

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:1:18 @ For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and wickedness of men who by their wickedness suppress the truth,

tcent@Romans:1:19 @ for what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them.

tcent@Romans:1:20 @ For since the creation of the world his invisible nature, even his eternal power and deity, has been clearly seen, being understood by the things that have been made. So they are without excuse;

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

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:1:30 @ slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents,

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:2:3 @ Do you think, O man, that when you judge those who do such things and yet do the same yourself, you will escape the judgment of God?

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:2:5 @ But by your hardness and your impenitent heart you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath when God's righteous judgment will be revealed.

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:2:9 @ There will be tribulation and distress for every human being who does evil, the Jew first and also the Greek,

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:2:15 @ They show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts accusing or else excusing them

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

tcent@Romans:2:17 @ But if you call yourself a Jew, and rely on the law and boast of your relation to God

tcent@Romans:2:18 @ and know his will and approve of what is excellent, because you are instructed in the law,

tcent@Romans:2:19 @ and if you are sure that you are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,

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:2:29 @ 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:3:1 @ Then what advantage has the Jew, or what is the value of circumcision?

tcent@Romans:3:3 @ What if some did not have faith? Will their faithlessness nullify the faithfulness of God?

tcent@Romans:3:5 @ But if our unrighteousness serves to show the righteousness of God, what shall we say? That God is unjust to inflict wrath on us? (I speak in a human way.)

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:3:24 @ and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,

tcent@Romans:3:25 @ whom God put forward as an atoning sacrifice by his blood, to be received through faith. This was to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over sins committed beforehand;

tcent@Romans:3:26 @ and it was to demonstrate his righteousness at the present time, that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.

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:3:28 @ For we hold that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the law.

tcent@Romans:4:1 @ What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, has found?

tcent@Romans:4:3 @ For what does the scripture say? »Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness.«

tcent@Romans:4:9 @ Is this blessedness only upon the circumcised, or also upon the uncircumcised? For we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham as righteousness.

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:4:15 @ 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:4:18 @ In hope, he believed against hope, so that he became the father of many nations; as he had been told, »So shall your descendants be.«

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:4:21 @ being fully convinced that God was able to do what he had promised.

tcent@Romans:4:22 @ That is why it was »reckoned to him as righteousness.«

tcent@Romans:4:25 @ who was delivered to death for our sins and was raised for our justification.

tcent@Romans:5:3 @ And not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces perseverance;

tcent@Romans:5:6 @ When we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.

tcent@Romans:5:8 @ But God demonstrates his own love for us, in that while we were still sinners Christ died for 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:5:10 @ For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.

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

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:5:16 @ 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:5:17 @ For if, by the one man's trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ.)

tcent@Romans:5:18 @ So then, as one man's trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one man’s act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men.

tcent@Romans:5:20 @ Law came in, that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace abounded all the more,

tcent@Romans:5:21 @ so that, as sin reigned in death, grace also might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

tcent@Romans:6:1 @ What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound?

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:6:4 @ We were buried therefore with him through baptism into death, so that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.

tcent@Romans:6:5 @ For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly also be united with him in a resurrection like his.

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:6:10 @ The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God.

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:6:15 @ 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:6:17 @ But thanks be to God, that you who were once slaves of sin have become obedient from the heart to the standard of teaching to which you were committed,

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

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:7:5 @ While we were living in the flesh, our sinful passions, aroused by the law, were at work in our members to bear fruit for death.

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:7:10 @ The very commandment which was to bring life I found to be death to me.

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:7:21 @ So I find it to be a law that when I want to do good, evil is present with 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:7:24 @ Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?

tcent@Romans:8:1 @ There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

tcent@Romans:8:2 @ For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and death.

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:8:6 @ To set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace.

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:8:13 @ For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

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:8:16 @ The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,

tcent@Romans:8:17 @ and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with him, in order that we may also be glorified with him.

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:8:19 @ For the creation waits with eager expectation for the revealing of the sons of God.

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

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:8:29 @ For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

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

tcent@Romans:8:34 @ Who is he who condemns? It is Christ Jesus, who died, yes, who was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who is also interceding for us.

tcent@Romans:8:35 @ Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

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:9:2 @ that I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart.

tcent@Romans:9:3 @ For I could wish that I myself were accursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh.

tcent@Romans:9:5 @ Of them are the patriarchs, and from them, according to the flesh, is the Christ, who is God over all, forever blessed. Amen.

tcent@Romans:9:9 @ For this is what the promise said: »About this time I will return and Sarah shall have a son.«

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:9:17 @ For the scripture says to Pharaoh, »I have raised you up for this very purpose, that I may show my power in you, and that my name may be proclaimed in all the earth.«

tcent@Romans:9:20 @ But who are you, O man, to answer back to God? Will what is formed say to him who formed it, »Why have you made me like this?«

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:9:30 @ 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:10:1 @ Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for them is that they may be saved.

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:10:4 @ For Christ is the end of the law, that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.

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:10:7 @ or »Who will descend into the abyss?« (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).

tcent@Romans:10:8 @ But what does it say? (that is, the word of faith which we preach);

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

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:11:5 @ So too at the present time there is a remnant, chosen by 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:11:14 @ in the hope that I may somehow arouse to jealousy the kinsmen of my flesh and save some of them.

tcent@Romans:11:15 @ For if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?

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:11:19 @ You will say then, »Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.«

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:11:24 @ For if you were cut out of an olive tree that is wild by nature, and were grafted, contrary to nature, into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these natural branches be grafted back into their own olive tree!

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:11:28 @ As regards the gospel they are enemies of God, for your sake; but as regards election they are beloved for the sake of their forefathers.

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:11:32 @ For God has bound all men over to disobedience, that he may have mercy upon all.

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:12:6 @ Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith;

tcent@Romans:12:8 @ he who exhorts, in exhortation; he who gives, with liberality; he who leads, with diligence; he who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness.

tcent@Romans:12:9 @ Let love be genuine. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.

tcent@Romans:12:12 @ Rejoice in your hope, be patient in tribulation, be faithful in prayer.

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: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:13:2 @ Therefore he who resists the authority resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves.

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:13:6 @ For the same reason you also pay taxes, for the authorities are God's ministers, attending to this very thing.

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:13:12 @ The night is far gone, the day is at hand. Let us then cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light.

tcent@Romans:13:14 @ But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.

tcent@Romans:14:2 @ One believes he may eat anything, but the man whose faith is weak eats only vegetables.

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:14:6 @ He who observes the day, observes it to the Lord. He who eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he who abstains, does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God.

tcent@Romans:14:9 @ For to this end Christ died and lived again, that he might be Lord both of the dead and of the living.

tcent@Romans:14:10 @ Why do you judge your brother? Or you, why do you despise your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of God.

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:14:17 @ For the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit;

tcent@Romans:14:19 @ Let us therefore pursue what makes for peace and for mutual edification.

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:15:4 @ For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through perseverance and the encouragement of the scriptures we might have hope.

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

tcent@Romans:15:8 @ For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the circumcised to show God's truth, to confirm the promises made to the patriarchs,

tcent@Romans:15:9 @ and in order that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written:

tcent@Romans:15:13 @ May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.

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

tcent@Romans:15:16 @ to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles in the priestly service of the gospel of God, so that the offering of the Gentiles might be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

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:15:19 @ by the power of signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit, so that from Jerusalem and as far round as Illyricum I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.

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:15:27 @ They were pleased to do it, and indeed they are in debt to them. For if the Gentiles have come to share in their spiritual blessings, they ought also to be of service to them in material blessings.

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:15:31 @ that I may be delivered from the unbelievers in Judea, and that my service for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints,

tcent@Romans:15:32 @ so that by God's will I may come to you with joy, and together with you be refreshed.

tcent@Romans:16:2 @ that you may receive her in the Lord in a manner worthy of the saints, and help her in whatever she has need from you, for she has been a helper of many and of myself also.

tcent@Romans:16:5 @ greet also the church that meets in their house. Greet my beloved Epaenetus, who was the first convert of Asia for Christ.

tcent@Romans:16:8 @ Greet Ampliatus, my beloved in the Lord.

tcent@Romans:16:14 @ Greet Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermas, Patrobas, Hermes, and the brethren who are with 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:16:20 @ And the God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

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

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:1:2 @ to the church of God which is at Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints together with all those who in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, both their Lord and ours:

tcent@1Corinthians:1:3 @ grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

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

tcent@1Corinthians:1:12 @ What I mean is this, that each one of you says, »I am of Paul,« and »I of Apollos,« and »I of Cephas,« and »I of Christ.«

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:1:20 @ 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:1:28 @ 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:1:30 @ It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption,

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:2:7 @ But we speak of God's secret wisdom, a wisdom that has been hidden and which God destined for our glory before the ages.

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:3:5 @ What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, even as the Lord assigned to each one.

tcent@1Corinthians:3:6 @ I planted, Apollos watered, but God was causing the growth.

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:3:17 @ If any one destroys God's temple, God will destroy him. For God’s temple is holy, and that temple you are.

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:3:22 @ whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future; all belong to you,

tcent@1Corinthians:4:2 @ Moreover it is required of stewards that they be found trustworthy.

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:4:6 @ 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:4:8 @ You are already filled! You have already become rich! You have become kings without us! And indeed, I wish that you had become kings so that we also might reign with you.

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

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

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:4:15 @ 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:4:16 @ Therefore I urge you, be imitators of me.

tcent@1Corinthians:4:21 @ What do you desire? Shall I come to you with a rod, or with love and a spirit of gentleness?

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

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:5:7 @ Cleanse out the old leaven that you may be a new lump, as you really are unleavened. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.

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:6:6 @ but brother goes to law against brother, and that before unbelievers?

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:6:15 @ 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:6:18 @ Flee immorality. Every other sin that a man commits is outside the body, but the immoral man sins against his own body.

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:7:5 @ 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:7:7 @ 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:7:8 @ But I say to the unmarried and to the widows that it is good for them if they remain even as I.

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:7:19 @ Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing, but keeping the commandments of God is what counts.

tcent@1Corinthians:7:20 @ Each one should remain in the state in which he was called.

tcent@1Corinthians:7:24 @ Brethren, let each one remain with God in that condition in which he was called.

tcent@1Corinthians:7:26 @ I think that in view of the present distress it is good for a person to remain as he is.

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:7:34 @ and his interests are divided. The unmarried woman, and the virgin, is concerned about the affairs of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and spirit; but the married woman is concerned about the affairs of the world, how she may please her husband.

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:7:40 @ But in my judgment she is happier if she remains as she is; and I think that I also have the Spirit of God.

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:8:4 @ 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:8:6 @ yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and through whom we exist.

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:8:13 @ 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:9:2 @ 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:9:7 @ 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:9:9 @ 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:9:11 @ If we have sown spiritual seed among you, is it too much if we reap a material harvest from you?

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

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:9:18 @ 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:9:19 @ For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a slave to all, that I might win the more.

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

tcent@1Corinthians:9:23 @ I do it all for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings.

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

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

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:10:12 @ Therefore let any one who thinks that he stands take heed lest he fall.

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:10:14 @ Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.

tcent@1Corinthians:10:15 @ I speak as to sensible men; judge for yourselves what I say.

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

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:10:25 @ Eat anything that is sold in the meat market without raising questions of conscience;

tcent@1Corinthians:10:27 @ If one of the unbelievers invites you to dinner and you want to go, eat whatever is set before you without raising questions of conscience.

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:10:30 @ If I partake with thankfulness, why am I denounced because of that for which I give thanks?

tcent@1Corinthians:10:31 @ So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory 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:11:1 @ Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ.

tcent@1Corinthians:11:3 @ But I want you to understand that Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman, and God is the head of Christ.

tcent@1Corinthians:11:8 @ For man does not originate from woman, but woman from man;

tcent@1Corinthians:11:9 @ neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.

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:11:18 @ For, in the first place, when you come together as a church, I hear that there are divisions among you; and I partly believe it.

tcent@1Corinthians:11:19 @ For there must be factions among you in order that those who are genuine among you may be recognized.

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:11:23 @ For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread,

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

tcent@1Corinthians:11:27 @ Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of profaning the body and blood of the Lord.

tcent@1Corinthians:11:28 @ Let a man examine himself, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup.

tcent@1Corinthians:11:29 @ For anyone who eats and drinks without recognizing the body eats and drinks judgment on himself.

tcent@1Corinthians:11:30 @ That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep.

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:12:2 @ 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:12:7 @ But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.

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:12:15 @ 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:12:22 @ On the contrary, the parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable,

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:12:28 @ And God has appointed in the church first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then workers of miracles, then those having gifts of healings, helps, administrations, and those speaking in various kinds of tongues.

tcent@1Corinthians:12:31 @ But earnestly desire the greater gifts.

tcent@1Corinthians:13:4 @ Love is patient, love is kind. It is not jealous or boastful, it is not arrogant

tcent@1Corinthians:13:13 @ So now faith, hope, love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

tcent@1Corinthians:14:1 @ Pursue love, and earnestly desire the spiritual gifts, especially that you may prophesy.

tcent@1Corinthians:14:3 @ But everyone who prophesies speaks to men for their edification and encouragement and comfort.

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:14:8 @ And if the bugle gives an indistinct sound, who will get ready for battle?

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:14:13 @ Therefore, he who speaks in a tongue should pray that he may interpret.

tcent@1Corinthians:14:15 @ What am I to do? I will pray with the spirit and I will pray with the mind also; I will sing with the spirit and I will sing with the mind also.

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:14:18 @ I thank God that I speak in tongues more than you all;

tcent@1Corinthians:14:19 @ but in the church I would rather speak five words with my mind, to instruct others, than ten thousand words in a tongue.

tcent@1Corinthians:14:20 @ Brethren, do not be children in your thinking; be infants in evil, but in thinking be mature.

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:14:25 @ the secrets of his heart are disclosed; and so, he will fall on his face, and worship God, declaring that God is really among you.

tcent@1Corinthians:14:26 @ What is the outcome then, brethren? When you come together, each one has a hymn, or a teaching, or a revelation, or a tongue, or an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification.

tcent@1Corinthians:14:27 @ If anyone speaks in a tongue, it should be by two or at the most three, and each in turn; and one must interpret.

tcent@1Corinthians:14:29 @ Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others weigh what is said.

tcent@1Corinthians:14:30 @ But if a revelation is made to another who is sitting, the first one must keep silent.

tcent@1Corinthians:14:31 @ For you can all prophesy one by one, so that all may learn and all be encouraged;

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

tcent@1Corinthians:14:36 @ Did the word of God originate with you? Or are you the only people it has reached?

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:15:3 @ For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,

tcent@1Corinthians:15:4 @ that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,

tcent@1Corinthians:15:5 @ and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.

tcent@1Corinthians:15:6 @ After that he appeared to more than five hundred brethren at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep.

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

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

tcent@1Corinthians:15:24 @ Then comes the end, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all rule and all authority and power.

tcent@1Corinthians:15:26 @ The last enemy to be destroyed is death.

tcent@1Corinthians:15:27 @ »For God has put all things in subjection under his feet.« But when it says, »All things are put in subjection under him,« it is plain that he is excepted who put all things under him.

tcent@1Corinthians:15:28 @ When all things are subjected to him, then the Son himself will also be subjected to the one who put all things under him, that God may be all in all.

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:15:35 @ But someone will ask, »How are the dead raised? With what kind of body do they come?«

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:15:44 @ it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.

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

tcent@1Corinthians:15:54 @ When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then will come to pass the saying that is written:

tcent@1Corinthians:15:56 @ The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.

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:16:6 @ and perhaps I will stay with you or even spend the winter, so that you may help me on my journey, wherever I go.

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

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:16:17 @ I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus, because they have supplied what was lacking on your part.

tcent@1Corinthians:16:19 @ The churches of Asia send you greetings. Aquila and Prisca greet you warmly in the lord, with the church that is in their house.

tcent@2Corinthians:1:1 @ Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, to the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints who are throughout Achaia:

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

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

tcent@2Corinthians:1:4 @ who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

tcent@2Corinthians:1:6 @ If we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; and if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which is effective in the patient enduring of the same sufferings that we suffer.

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:1:10 @ He delivered us from so deadly a peril, and he will deliver us; on him we have set our hope that he will deliver us again.

tcent@2Corinthians:1:11 @ You also must help us by your prayers, so that many will give thanks on our behalf for the blessing granted us in answer to the prayers of many.

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:1:14 @ as you have understood us in part, that you can be proud of us just as we can be of you, in the day of the Lord Jesus.

tcent@2Corinthians:1:15 @ Because I was sure of this, I wanted to come to you first, so that you might have a double benefit.

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:1:23 @ 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:2:7 @ 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:2:10 @ Any one whom you forgive, I also forgive. What I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, has been for your sake in the presence of Christ,

tcent@2Corinthians:2:11 @ in order that Satan might gain no advantage over us; for we are not ignorant of his schemes.

tcent@2Corinthians:2:16 @ to the one a fragrance from death to death, to the other a fragrance from life to life. And who is sufficient for these things?

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

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:3:4 @ Such is the confidence that we have through Christ toward God.

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:3:7 @ 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:3:9 @ For if the ministry of condemnation has glory, much more does the ministry of righteousness exceed it in glory.

tcent@2Corinthians:3:10 @ For indeed what had glory, in this case has no glory because of the glory that surpasses it.

tcent@2Corinthians:3:11 @ For if what was fading away came with glory, much more is the glory of that which lasts.

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: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:4:7 @ But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.

tcent@2Corinthians:4:10 @ always carrying about in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body.

tcent@2Corinthians:4:11 @ For we who live are always being given up to death for Jesus' sake, so that the life of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh.

tcent@2Corinthians:4:12 @ So then death is at work in us, but life in you.

tcent@2Corinthians:4:13 @ Since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, »I believed and therefore I spoke,« we also believe and therefore speak,

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:4:15 @ For all this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God.

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:5:6 @ 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:5:8 @ We are confident, I say, and would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord.

tcent@2Corinthians:5:9 @ So whether we are at home or away, we make it our aim to please him.

tcent@2Corinthians:5:10 @ For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.

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:5:14 @ For the love of Christ controls us, because we are convinced that one has died for all; therefore all have died.

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:5:17 @ Therefore, if any one is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, behold, the new has come.

tcent@2Corinthians:5:18 @ All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation;

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:6:2 @ 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:6:4 @ But as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: through great endurance, in afflictions, hardships, distresses,

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

tcent@2Corinthians:6:6 @ in purity, knowledge, patience, kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in genuine love,

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:6:15 @ What harmony has Christ with Belial? Or what has a believer in common with an unbeliever?

tcent@2Corinthians:6:16 @ What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; as God said,

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:7:4 @ I have great confidence in you; I have great pride in you; I am filled with comfort. With all our affliction, I am overflowing with joy.

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:8:3 @ For I testify that according to their ability, and even beyond their ability, they gave of their own free will,

tcent@2Corinthians:8:6 @ So we urged Titus that as he had previously made a beginning, he would also complete in you this work of grace.

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:8:9 @ 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:8:14 @ but at the present time your abundance should supply their need, so that their abundance may supply your need, that there may be equality.

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:9:2 @ 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:9:5 @ 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:9:8 @ And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, so that you, always having all sufficiency in everything, may have an abundance for every good work.

tcent@2Corinthians:9:11 @ You will be enriched in every way for great generosity, which through us will produce thanksgiving 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:10:5 @ 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:10:7 @ You look at things as they are outwardly. If anyone is confident in himself that he is Christ's, let him consider this again within himself, that just as he is Christ’s, so also are we.

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:10:11 @ Let such people realize that what we are in our letters when we are absent, we will be in our actions when we are present.

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:10:15 @ 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:11:1 @ I wish that you would bear with me in a little foolishness; but indeed you are bearing with me.

tcent@2Corinthians:11:2 @ I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy; for I betrothed you to one husband, so that to Christ I might present you as a pure virgin.

tcent@2Corinthians:11:3 @ But I am afraid that just as the serpent deceived Eve by his cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ.

tcent@2Corinthians:11:5 @ I think that I am not in the least inferior to these super-apostles.

tcent@2Corinthians:11:7 @ Or did I commit a sin in humbling myself that you might be exalted, because I preached the gospel of God to you without charge?

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:11:12 @ And what I am doing, I will also continue to do, in order to cut the ground from under those who want an opportunity to be considered equal with us in the things of which they boast.

tcent@2Corinthians:11:14 @ And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.

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:11:21 @ To my shame, I must say that we were too weak for that! But whatever anyone else dares to boast about—I am speaking as a fool—I also dare to boast about.

tcent@2Corinthians:11:23 @ Are they servants of Christ? I am a better one—I am talking like a madman—in far more labors, in far more imprisonments, with more beatings, and often in danger of death.

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

tcent@2Corinthians:11:26 @ I have been on frequent journeys, in danger from rivers, in danger from robbers, in danger from my own countrymen, in danger from Gentiles, in danger in the city, in danger in the wilderness, in danger at sea, and in danger from false brethren;

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

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: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:12:3 @ And I know that this man—whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know, but God knows—

tcent@2Corinthians:12:6 @ 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:12:7 @ And to keep me from being too elated because of the abundance of revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan, to harass me, to keep me from being too elated.

tcent@2Corinthians:12:8 @ Three times I pleaded with the Lord about this, that it should depart from me.

tcent@2Corinthians:12:9 @ But he said to me, »My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.« Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest on me.

tcent@2Corinthians:12:10 @ That is why, for Christ's sake, I am content in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties; for when I am weak, then I am strong.

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:12:19 @ Have you been thinking all along that we have been defending ourselves before you? It is in the sight of God that we have been speaking in Christ, and all for your upbuilding, beloved.

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:13:9 @ For we are glad when we are weak and you are strong. What we pray for is your perfection.

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@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:1:2 @ and all the brethren who are with me, to the churches of Galatia:

tcent@Galatians:1:3 @ grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ,

tcent@Galatians:1:4 @ who gave himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father,

tcent@Galatians:1:5 @ to whom be the glory for ever and ever. Amen.

tcent@Galatians:1:6 @ I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you by the grace of Christ and turning to a different gospel—

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:1:8 @ But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we preached to you, let him be accursed!

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:1:13 @ For you have heard of my former way of life in Judaism, how intensely I persecuted the church of God and tried to destroy it;

tcent@Galatians:1:14 @ and I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my own age among my people, so extremely zealous was I for the traditions of my fathers.

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

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

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:1:21 @ Then I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.

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:1:24 @ And they glorified God because of me.

tcent@Galatians:2:1 @ Then after fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus along also.

tcent@Galatians:2:2 @ I went up because of a revelation; and I set before them the gospel that I preach among the Gentiles. But I did this privately to those who were of reputation, for fear that I was running or had run my race in vain.

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

tcent@Galatians:2:4 @ But it was because of the false brethren secretly brought in, who had slipped in to spy out our freedom which we have in Christ Jesus, in order to bring us into bondage.

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:2:7 @ but on the contrary, when they saw that I had been entrusted with the gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been entrusted with the gospel to the circumcised

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

tcent@Galatians:2:9 @ and when they perceived the grace that was given to me, James and Cephas and John, who were reputed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised.

tcent@Galatians:2:10 @ All they asked was that we should continue to remember the poor, the very thing I was eager to do.

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

tcent@Galatians:2:12 @ For before certain men came from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles; but when they came, he began to draw back and separate himself, fearing the party of the circumcision.

tcent@Galatians:2:13 @ The rest of the Jews joined him in hypocrisy, with the result that even Barnabas was carried away by their hypocrisy.

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:2:18 @ For if I rebuild what I destroyed, I prove myself a transgressor.

tcent@Galatians:2:19 @ For through the law I died to the law, so that I might live to God.

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:3:1 @ You foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified?

tcent@Galatians:3:2 @ This is the only thing I want to find out from you: did you receive the Spirit by the works of the Law, or by hearing with faith?

tcent@Galatians:3:3 @ Are you so foolish? Having begun with the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh?

tcent@Galatians:3:4 @ Did you suffer so many things in vain—if it really was in vain?

tcent@Galatians:3:5 @ Does he who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you do so by works of the law, or by hearing with faith?

tcent@Galatians:3:6 @ Even so Abraham »believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness.«

tcent@Galatians:3:7 @ Therefore, be sure that it is those who are of faith who are sons of Abraham.

tcent@Galatians:3:8 @ And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, »In you will all the nations be blessed.«

tcent@Galatians:3:9 @ So then those who are of faith are blessed with Abraham, the man of faith.

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:3:13 @ Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us—for it is written, »Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree«—

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

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

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:3:22 @ But the Scripture has bound everyone under sin, so that that what was promised by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.

tcent@Galatians:3:23 @ Now before faith came, we were bound under the law, kept under restraint until faith should be revealed.

tcent@Galatians:3:24 @ So the law was our tutor to lead us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

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

tcent@Galatians:3:26 @ For you are all sons of God, through faith in Christ Jesus.

tcent@Galatians:3:27 @ For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.

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:3:29 @ And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's offspring, heirs according to promise.

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:4:2 @ but he is under guardians and trustees until the date set by the father.

tcent@Galatians:4:3 @ So also, when we were children, we were in slavery under the elemental things of the world.

tcent@Galatians:4:4 @ But when the time had fully come, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under the law,

tcent@Galatians:4:5 @ to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons.

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

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:4:10 @ You observe days and months and seasons and years!

tcent@Galatians:4:11 @ I fear for you, that perhaps I have labored over you in vain.

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:4:15 @ What has become of the satisfaction you felt? For I bear you witness that, if possible, you would have plucked out your eyes and given them to me.

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:4:19 @ My children, with whom I am again in labor until Christ is formed in 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:4:22 @ For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave and one by the free woman.

tcent@Galatians:4:23 @ But the son by the slave was born according to the flesh, and the son by the free woman through the promise.

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

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:4:26 @ But the Jerusalem above is free, and she is our mother.

tcent@Galatians:4:27 @ For it is written,

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:5:3 @ I testify again to every man who receives circumcision, that he is under obligation to keep the whole Law.

tcent@Galatians:5:4 @ You have been severed from Christ, you who are seeking to be justified by law; you have fallen away from grace.

tcent@Galatians:5:5 @ For through the Spirit, by faith, we wait for the hope of righteousness.

tcent@Galatians:5:6 @ For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision is of any avail, but faith working through love.

tcent@Galatians:5:7 @ You were running well; who hindered you from obeying the truth?

tcent@Galatians:5:8 @ This persuasion did not come from him who calls you.

tcent@Galatians:5:9 @ A little leaven leavens the whole lump of dough.

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:5:11 @ But if I, brethren, still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? In that case the stumbling block of the cross has been abolished.

tcent@Galatians:5:12 @ I wish that those who are troubling you would mutilate themselves!

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:5:14 @ For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, »You shall love your neighbor as yourself.«

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:5:20 @ idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions,

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:5:22 @ But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

tcent@Galatians:5:23 @ gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.

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

tcent@Galatians:5:25 @ If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit.

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:6:5 @ For each one will bear his own load.

tcent@Galatians:6:6 @ Let the one who is taught the word share in all good things with him who teaches.

tcent@Galatians:6:7 @ Do not be deceived; God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

tcent@Galatians:6:8 @ For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption; but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.

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:6:10 @ So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.

tcent@Galatians:6:11 @ See with what large letters I am writing to you with my own hand.

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

tcent@Galatians:6:15 @ For neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but what counts is a new creation.

tcent@Galatians:6:16 @ Peace and mercy be upon all who walk by this rule, upon the Israel of God.

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

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

tcent@Ephesians:1:2 @ grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

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

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

tcent@Ephesians:1:12 @ in order that we, who were the first to hope in Christ, would be for the praise of his glory.

tcent@Ephesians:1:13 @ In him, you also have heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having also believed, you were sealed in him with the promised Holy Spirit,

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:1:19 @ and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power in us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of the strength of his might

tcent@Ephesians:1:20 @ which he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places,

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:2:3 @ Among them we all once lived in the lusts of our flesh, following the desires of flesh and mind, and so we were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind.

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

tcent@Ephesians:2:6 @ and raised us up with him, and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,

tcent@Ephesians:2:7 @ so that in the coming ages he might show the surpassing riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

tcent@Ephesians:2:9 @ not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.

tcent@Ephesians:2:10 @ For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we would walk in them.

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

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:2:15 @ by abolishing in his flesh the hostility, which is the Law of commandments and ordinances, so that he might create in himself one new man out of the two, thus making peace,

tcent@Ephesians:2:16 @ and might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, by which he put to death the hostility.

tcent@Ephesians:2:18 @ for through him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.

tcent@Ephesians:2:20 @ having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone,

tcent@Ephesians:3:2 @ assuming that you have heard of the stewardship of God's grace that was given to me for you,

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:3:6 @ that is, how the Gentiles are fellow heirs and members of the same body, and partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel.

tcent@Ephesians:3:9 @ and to make plain to everyone the administration of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in God who created all things;

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:3:14 @ For this reason I bow my knees before the Father,

tcent@Ephesians:3:16 @ that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inner man,

tcent@Ephesians:3:17 @ so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and grounded in love,

tcent@Ephesians:3:18 @ may have power to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth,

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:3:21 @ to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, for ever and ever. Amen.

tcent@Ephesians:4:2 @ with all humility and gentleness, with patience, showing tolerance for one another in love,

tcent@Ephesians:4:4 @ There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call,

tcent@Ephesians:4:6 @ one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.

tcent@Ephesians:4:9 @ (In saying, »He ascended,« what does it mean except that he had also descended into the lower parts of the earth?

tcent@Ephesians:4:10 @ He who descended is also he who ascended far above all the heavens, so that he might fill all things.)

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:4:16 @ from whom the whole body, being joined and held together by what every joint supplies, according to the proper working of each part, causes the growth of the body and builds itself up in love.

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:4:21 @ assuming that you have heard about him and were taught in him, as the truth is in Jesus.

tcent@Ephesians:4:24 @ and put on the new nature, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.

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:4:31 @ Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice.

tcent@Ephesians:5:1 @ Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children;

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:5:10 @ and try to learn what is pleasing to the Lord.

tcent@Ephesians:5:11 @ Do not participate in the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but instead expose them.

tcent@Ephesians:5:12 @ For it is a shame even to speak of the things that they do in secret.

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

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

tcent@Ephesians:5:31 @ »For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.«

tcent@Ephesians:5:32 @ This is a profound mystery; but I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church.

tcent@Ephesians:6:18 @ Pray at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and petition. And with this in view, keep alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints,

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:6:20 @ for which I am an ambassador in chains; that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak.

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

tcent@Philippians:1:1 @ Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus, to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the overseers and deacons:

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

tcent@Philippians:1:6 @ For I am confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

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

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:1:10 @ so that you may approve what is excellent, and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ;

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:1:14 @ and that most of the brethren, trusting in the Lord because of my imprisonment, have been encouraged to speak the word of God without fear.

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

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:1:23 @ I am hard pressed between the two. My desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is far better;

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

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

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

tcent@Philippians:2:5 @ Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus,

tcent@Philippians:2:8 @ And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to deatheven death on a cross.

tcent@Philippians:2:10 @ that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

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

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:2:13 @ for it is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.

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

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

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

tcent@Philippians:2:26 @ for he was longing for you all and was distressed because you had heard that he was ill.

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:2:28 @ Therefore I am all the more eager to send him, so that when you see him again you may rejoice and I may have less anxiety.

tcent@Philippians:2:30 @ because he almost died for the work of Christ, risking his life to complete what was deficient in your service to me.

tcent@Philippians:3:2 @ Watch out for the dogs, watch out for the evil workers, watch out for those mutilators of the body.

tcent@Philippians:3:7 @ But whatever was gain to me, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ.

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:3:11 @ in order that I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.

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:3:15 @ Let those of us who are mature have this attitude; and if in anything you have a different attitude, God will reveal that also to you.

tcent@Philippians:3:16 @ Only let us live up to what we have already attained.

tcent@Philippians:3:17 @ Brethren, join in following my example, and observe those who live according to the pattern you have in us.

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

tcent@Philippians:4:3 @ Yes, and I ask you also, true yoke-fellow, to help these women who have struggled at my side in the cause of the gospel, together with Clement also and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the book of life.

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:4:9 @ Practice what you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, and the God of peace will be with you.

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:4:15 @ 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@Philippians:4:20 @ To our God and Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

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

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:1:6 @ You became imitators of us and of the Lord, for you received the word in much affliction, with the joy of the Holy Spirit;

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

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:1:9 @ For they themselves report about us what kind of a reception we had with you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve a living and true God,

tcent@1Thessalonians:1:10 @ and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead—Jesus, who rescues us from the wrath to come.

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:2:5 @ For, as you know, we never used flattery nor a pretext for greed—God is witness—

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:2:14 @ For you, brethren, became imitators of the churches of God in Christ Jesus which are in Judea, for you suffered the same things from your own countrymen as they did from the Jews,

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

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:2:18 @ For we wanted to come to you—I, Paul, again and again—but Satan hindered us.

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:3:9 @ For what thanksgiving can we render to God for you in return for all the joy which we feel for your sake before our God,

tcent@1Thessalonians:3:10 @ as we night and day keep praying most earnestly that we may see you face to face and supply what is lacking in your faith?

tcent@1Thessalonians:3:11 @ Now may our God and Father himself, and our Lord Jesus, direct our way to you;

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

tcent@1Thessalonians:4:1 @ Finally, brethren, we request and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that as you learned from us how you ought to live and to please God, just as you are doing, you do so more and more.

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

tcent@1Thessalonians:4:3 @ For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that is, that you should abstain from sexual immorality;

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:4:12 @ 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:4:14 @ For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus.

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

tcent@1Thessalonians:5:4 @ But you, brethren, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief.

tcent@1Thessalonians:5:7 @ For those who sleep, sleep at night; and those who get drunk, get drunk at night.

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

tcent@1Thessalonians:5:9 @ For God has not destined us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

tcent@1Thessalonians:5:10 @ who died for us, so that whether we are awake or asleep, we will live together with him.

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:5:14 @ And we urge you, brethren, admonish the idlers, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with everyone.

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:5:21 @ But test everything; hold fast to what is good.

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:1:1 @ Paul, Silvanus and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:

tcent@2Thessalonians:1:2 @ grace and peace to you from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

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

tcent@2Thessalonians:1:10 @ when he comes to be glorified in his saints on that day, and to be marveled at among all who have believed—because our testimony to you was believed.

tcent@2Thessalonians:1:11 @ To this end we always pray for you, that our God may count you worthy of his calling, and may fulfill every good resolve and work of faith by his power,

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

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:2:4 @ who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God.

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:2:8 @ And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will slay with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming.

tcent@2Thessalonians:2:9 @ The coming of the lawless one by the activity of Satan will be with all power and with pretended signs and wonders,

tcent@2Thessalonians:2:11 @ For this reason God sends upon them a strong delusion so that they will believe what is false,

tcent@2Thessalonians:2:12 @ so that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in wickedness.

tcent@2Thessalonians:2:13 @ But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God chose you from the beginning to be saved, through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth.

tcent@2Thessalonians:2:14 @ He called you to this through our gospel, that you may share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

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:3:4 @ And we have confidence in the Lord about you, that you are doing and will continue to do the things which we command.

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:3:8 @ 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:3:10 @ 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:3:14 @ 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@1Timothy:1:15 @ It is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the foremost.

tcent@1Timothy:1:16 @ But I received mercy for this reason, so that in me, as the foremost, Jesus Christ might display his perfect patience for an example to those who would believe in him for eternal life.

tcent@1Timothy:1:18 @ I give you this command, Timothy, my son, in accordance with the prophecies once made about you, that by them you may fight the good fight,

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:2:1 @ First of all, then, I urge that requests, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men,

tcent@1Timothy:2:2 @ for kings and all who are in authority, so that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and dignity.

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

tcent@1Timothy:2:6 @ who gave himself as a ransom for all—the testimony given at the proper time.

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:3:6 @ He must not be a recent convert, or he may become conceited and fall into the same condemnation as the devil.

tcent@1Timothy:3:7 @ He must also have a good reputation with outsiders, so that he will not fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.

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

tcent@1Timothy:3:13 @ For those who have served well as deacons gain for themselves a high standing and great confidence in the faith that is in Christ Jesus.

tcent@1Timothy:3:14 @ Although I hope to come to you soon, I am writing you these instructions so that,

tcent@1Timothy:3:16 @ By common confession, great is the mystery of godliness:

tcent@1Timothy:4:1 @ Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith by giving heed to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons,

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:4:5 @ for it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer.

tcent@1Timothy:4:7 @ Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives' tales; rather, train yourself in godliness.

tcent@1Timothy:4:15 @ Be diligent in these matters; give yourself wholly to them, so that all may see your progress.

tcent@1Timothy:5:1 @ Do not rebuke an older man, but exhort him as a father, younger men as brothers,

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:5:19 @ Do not receive an accusation against an elder except on the basis of two or three witnesses.

tcent@1Timothy:5:20 @ Those who continue in sin, rebuke in the presence of all, so that the rest also may be fearful of sinning.

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:5:24 @ The sins of some men are obvious, going before them to judgment; for others, their sins appear later.

tcent@1Timothy:5:25 @ In the same way, good deeds are obvious, and even those that are not cannot be hidden.

tcent@2Timothy:1:2 @ to Timothy, my beloved son: grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

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

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

tcent@2Timothy:1:14 @ Guard, through the Holy Spirit who dwells in us, the treasure that has been entrusted to you.

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

tcent@2Timothy:1:18 @ may the Lord grant him to find mercy from the Lord on that Day—and you know very well all the service he rendered at Ephesus.

tcent@2Timothy:2:1 @ You then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

tcent@2Timothy:2:7 @ Consider what I say, for the Lord will give you understanding in everything.

tcent@2Timothy:2:10 @ Therefore I endure everything for the sake of the elect, that they too may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory.

tcent@2Timothy:2:16 @ Avoid godless chatter, for it will lead people into more and more ungodliness,

tcent@2Timothy:2:18 @ who have gone astray from the truth. They say that the resurrection has already taken place, and upset the faith of some.

tcent@2Timothy:2:19 @ Nevertheless, God's firm foundation stands, having this seal: »The Lord knows those who are his,« and, »Everyone who names the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness.«

tcent@2Timothy:2:21 @ If anyone cleanses himself from what is ignoble, he will be a vessel for noble purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work.

tcent@2Timothy:2:23 @ Don't have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because you know that they produce quarrels.

tcent@2Timothy:2:24 @ And the Lord's servant must not be quarrelsome, but he must be kind to everyone, able to teach, patient when wronged,

tcent@2Timothy:3:1 @ But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of stress.

tcent@Titus:2:1 @ But as for you, teach what befits sound doctrine.

tcent@Titus:2:2 @ The older men are to be temperate, serious, sensible, sound in faith, in love, and in endurance.

tcent@Titus:2:3 @ The older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not to be slanderers or slaves to much wine, but they are to teach what is good,

tcent@Titus:2:14 @ who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, zealous for good deeds.

tcent@Philemon:1:18 @ If he has wronged you in any way, or owes you anything, charge that to my account.

tcent@Philemon:1:19 @ I, Paul, am writing this with my own hand, I will pay it backnot to mention that you owe me even your own self.

tcent@Philemon:1:21 @ Confident of your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even more than I say.

tcent@Hebrews:1:1 @ In the past God spoke to our fathers by the prophets at many times and in various ways,

tcent@Hebrews:1:3 @ He is the radiance of his glory and the exact representation of his being, and upholds all things by the word of his power. When he had made purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

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:2:1 @ Therefore we must pay more careful attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away from it.

tcent@Hebrews:2:3 @ how shall we escape if we neglect such a great salvation? It was declared at first by the Lord, and it was confirmed to us by those who heard him,

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:2:10 @ For it was fitting that he, for whom and through whom all things exist, in bringing many sons to glory, should make the author of their salvation perfect through suffering.

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:2:14 @ Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same nature, that through death he might destroy him who has the power of death, that is, the devil,

tcent@Hebrews:2:15 @ and might free those who through fear of death were subject to slavery all their lives.

tcent@Hebrews:2:16 @ For surely it is not with angels that he is concerned, but with the descendants of Abraham.

tcent@Hebrews:2:17 @ Therefore he had to be made like his brethren in every respect, so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make atonement for the sins of the people.

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:3:18 @ And to whom did he swear that they would never enter his rest, but to those who were disobedient?

tcent@Hebrews:3:19 @ So we see that they were not able to enter because of unbelief.

tcent@Hebrews:4:3 @ For we who have believed enter that rest, as he has said, although his works were finished from the foundation of the world.

tcent@Hebrews:4:8 @ For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later of another day.

tcent@Hebrews:4:9 @ So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God;

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

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:4:16 @ Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

tcent@Hebrews:5:1 @ For every high priest chosen from among men is appointed to act on behalf of men in relation to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.

tcent@Hebrews:5:7 @ In the days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to the one who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his godly fear.

tcent@Hebrews:5:8 @ Although he was a Son, he learned obedience from what he suffered;

tcent@Hebrews:5:9 @ and, once made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him,

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

tcent@Hebrews:5:14 @ But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their sense trained by practice to distinguish good from evil.

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:6:7 @ For land which drinks the rain that often falls upon it, and brings forth vegetation useful to those for whose sake it is cultivated, receives a blessing from God.

tcent@Hebrews:6:9 @ Even though we speak like this, beloved, we are confident of better things in your case, things that accompany salvation.

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:6:15 @ And so Abraham, having patiently endured, obtained the promise.

tcent@Hebrews:6:16 @ Men swear by one greater than themselves, and in all their disputes the oath is final for confirmation.

tcent@Hebrews:6:17 @ So when God desired to show more convincingly to the heirs of the promise the unchangeable character of his purpose, he interposed with an oath,

tcent@Hebrews:6:18 @ so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have taken refuge would have strong encouragement to take hold of the hope set before us.

tcent@Hebrews:6:19 @ We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, a hope that enters into the inner sanctuary behind the curtain,

tcent@Hebrews:7:2 @ And to him Abraham gave a tenth part of everything. He is first, by translation of his name, king of righteousness, and then he is also king of Salem, that is, king of peace.

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:7:4 @ See how great he was! Even the patriarch Abraham gave him a tenth of the spoils.

tcent@Hebrews:7:5 @ And those descendants of Levi who receive the priestly office have a commandment in the law to take a tenth from the people, that is, from their brethren, though these also are descended from Abraham.

tcent@Hebrews:7:7 @ And without dispute the lesser person is blessed by the greater.

tcent@Hebrews:7:8 @ In this case tithes are received by mortal men, but in that case by one of whom it is witnessed that he lives on.

tcent@Hebrews:7:9 @ One might even say that Levi himself, who receives tithes, paid tithes through Abraham,

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:7:20 @ And it was not without an oath.

tcent@Hebrews:7:21 @ Those who formerly became priests took their office without an oath, but he became a priest with an oath through the One who said to him,

tcent@Hebrews:7:22 @ Because of this oath, Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant.

tcent@Hebrews:7:23 @ The former priests were many in number, because they were prevented by death from continuing in office;

tcent@Hebrews:7:26 @ For it was fitting that we should have such a high priest, holy, blameless, unstained, separated from sinners, exalted above the heavens.

tcent@Hebrews:7:28 @ For the Law appoints men as high priests who are weak, but the word of the oath, which came after the Law, appoints a Son who has been made perfect forever.

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:8:4 @ 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:8:5 @ They serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly sanctuary; for when Moses was about to erect the tabernacle, he was instructed by God, saying, »See that you make everything according to the pattern which was shown you on the mountain.«

tcent@Hebrews:8:6 @ But as it is, he has obtained a ministry which is as much more excellent than the old as the covenant he mediates is better, since it is enacted on better promises.

tcent@Hebrews:8:7 @ For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no place sought for a second.

tcent@Hebrews:8:13 @ When he said, »A new covenant,« he has made the first obsolete. And what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.

tcent@Hebrews:9:1 @ Now even the first covenant had regulations for worship and an earthly sanctuary.

tcent@Hebrews:9:4 @ having the golden altar of incense and the ark of the covenant covered on all sides with gold, which contained a golden jar holding the manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant;

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:9:6 @ These preparations having thus been made, the priests go continually into the outer tabernacle, performing their ritual duties.

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:9:10 @ since they relate only to food and drink and various washings – regulations for the flesh imposed until the time of reformation.

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:9:13 @ For if the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled sanctify for the cleansing of the flesh,

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:9:16 @ For where a will is, there must of necessity be the death of the one who made it.

tcent@Hebrews:9:18 @ This is why even the first covenant was not ratified without blood.

tcent@Hebrews:9:19 @ For when every commandment of the law had been declared by Moses to all the people, he took the blood of calves and goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people,

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:9:27 @ And just as it is appointed for men to die once, and after that comes judgment,

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:10:4 @ For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.

tcent@Hebrews:10:10 @ And by that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

tcent@Hebrews:10:11 @ And every priest stands daily at his service, offering time after time the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.

tcent@Hebrews:10:12 @ But when he had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God,

tcent@Hebrews:10:13 @ waiting from that time until his enemies be made a stool for his feet.

tcent@Hebrews:10:20 @ by a new and living way which he opened for us through the curtain, that is, his flesh,

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

tcent@Hebrews:10:22 @ let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.

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:10:27 @ but a fearful expectation of judgment, and a fury of fire which will consume the adversaries.

tcent@Hebrews:10:32 @ But remember the former days when, after you were enlightened, you endured a great struggle with sufferings,

tcent@Hebrews:10:33 @ sometimes being publicly exposed to insult and persecution; and at other times standing side by side with those who were so treated.

tcent@Hebrews:10:34 @ For you had compassion on the prisoners, and you joyfully accepted the plundering of your property, since you knew that you yourselves had a better possession and an abiding one.

tcent@Hebrews:10:35 @ Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward.

tcent@Hebrews:10:36 @ For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God, you may receive what was promised.

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:11:6 @ And without faith it is impossible to please God, for anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

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:11:10 @ for he was looking forward to the city which has foundations, whose architect and builder is God.

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:11:14 @ For people who say such things make it clear that they are seeking a country of their own.

tcent@Hebrews:11:15 @ And if they had been thinking of that country from which they had gone out, they would have had opportunity to return.

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:11:19 @ He considered that God was able to raise men even from the dead; from which, figuratively speaking, he did receive him back.

tcent@Hebrews:11:22 @ By faith Joseph, when he was at the end of his life, made mention of the exodus of the Israelites, and gave orders concerning his bones.

tcent@Hebrews:11:25 @ choosing rather to share ill-treatment with the people of God than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin.

tcent@Hebrews:11:26 @ He considered abuse suffered for the Christ greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt, for he was looking ahead to his reward.

tcent@Hebrews:11:32 @ And what more shall I say? For time will fail me if I tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets,

tcent@Hebrews:11:35 @ Women received back their dead, raised to life again. Others were tortured and refused to be released, so that they might gain a better resurrection.

tcent@Hebrews:11:37 @ They were stoned, they were sawn in two, they were killed with the sword; they went about in skins of sheep and goats, destitute, afflicted, ill-treated –

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:12:1 @ Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us,

tcent@Hebrews:12:2 @ fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

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:12:5 @ And have you forgotten the exhortation which addresses you as sons? –

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:12:10 @ For they disciplined us for a short time as seemed best to them, but he disciplines us for our good, that we may share his holiness.

tcent@Hebrews:12:11 @ For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant; but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.

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:12:15 @ 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:12:21 @ The sight was so terrifying that Moses said, »I am trembling with fear.«

tcent@Hebrews:12:24 @ and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks better than the blood of Abel.

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:12:27 @ 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:13:3 @ Remember the prisoners, as though in prison with them, and those who are ill-treated, since you yourselves are also in the body.

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:13:7 @ Remember your leaders, those who spoke to you the word of God; consider the outcome of their life, and imitate their faith.

tcent@Hebrews:13:10 @ We have an altar from which those who serve the tabernacle have no right to eat.

tcent@Hebrews:13:12 @ And so Jesus also suffered outside the city gate to sanctify the people through his own blood.

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:13:17 @ 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:13:19 @ I urge you all the more to do this so that I may be restored to you the sooner.

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:13:21 @ equip you with every good thing to do his will, working in us that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

tcent@Hebrews:13:22 @ I urge you, brethren, bear with my word of exhortation, for I have written to you briefly.

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:1:10 @ and the rich man is to glory in his humiliation, because like the flower of the grass he will pass away.

tcent@James:1:11 @ For the sun rises with its scorching heat and withers the grass; its flower falls and its beauty is destroyed. So will the rich man fade away in the midst of his pursuits.

tcent@James:1:12 @ Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, for when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.

tcent@James:1:15 @ Then when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is full-grown, it brings forth death.

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:1:18 @ Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.

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:1:24 @ for he looks at himself and goes away, and immediately forgets what he was like.

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:1:27 @ Religion that is pure and undefiled in the sight of our God and Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.

tcent@James:2:3 @ and you pay special attention to the one who is wearing the fine clothes and say, »Have a seat here in a good place,« and you say to the poor man, »You stand there,« or, »Sit by my feet,«

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:2:19 @ You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe—and shudder.

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:2:22 @ You see that faith was working with his works, and faith was completed by works,

tcent@James:2:24 @ You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone.

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:3:3 @ If we put bits into the mouths of horses that they may obey us, we guide their whole bodies.

tcent@James:3:4 @ Look at the ships also; though they are so great and are driven by strong winds, they are guided by a very small rudder wherever the will of the pilot directs.

tcent@James:3:5 @ So also the tongue is a small part of the body, and yet it boasts of great things.

tcent@James:3:7 @ For every species of beasts and birds, of reptiles and creatures of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by the human race.

tcent@James:3:9 @ With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the likeness of God.

tcent@James:3:11 @ Does a spring pour forth from the same opening both fresh and bitter water?

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:4:1 @ What causes quarrels and fights among you? Is it not your passions that are at war in your members?

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:4:5 @ Or do you think that the Scripture says without reason: »He jealously desires the Spirit which he has made to dwell in us«?

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:4:15 @ Instead, you ought to say, »If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.«

tcent@James:5:1 @ Come now, you rich, weep and howl for the miseries that are coming upon you.

tcent@James:5:2 @ Your riches have rotted and your garments are moth-eaten.

tcent@James:5:3 @ Your gold and silver have rusted, and their rust will be evidence against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up treasure in the last days.

tcent@James:5:5 @ You have lived on the earth in luxury and in pleasure; you have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter.

tcent@James:5:6 @ You have condemned and put to death the righteous man; he does not resist you.

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

tcent@James:5:8 @ You too be patient; strengthen your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is near.

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:5:10 @ As an example, brethren, of suffering and patience, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.

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:5:16 @ 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:1:1 @ Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the chosen exiles in the Dispersion, scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia and Bithynia,

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:1:3 @ Blessed be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has caused us to be born again into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

tcent@1Peter:1:5 @ who are protected by God's power through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

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:1:9 @ as you obtain the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls.

tcent@1Peter:1:10 @ As to this salvation, the prophets who prophesied of the grace that would come to you inquired and searched carefully,

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:1:13 @ Therefore, prepare your minds for action, be sober in spirit, set your hope fully on the grace to be given you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

tcent@1Peter:1:17 @ If you address as Father the One who impartially judges according to each one's work, conduct yourselves in fear during the time of your exile on earth.

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:1:19 @ but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot.

tcent@1Peter:1:20 @ He was destined before the foundation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake.

tcent@1Peter:1:21 @ Through him you have confidence in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.

tcent@1Peter:2:2 @ Like newborn babes, long for the pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation,

tcent@1Peter:2:9 @ But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's own possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

tcent@1Peter:2:12 @ Maintain good conduct among the Gentiles, so that in case they speak against you as wrongdoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day of visitation.

tcent@1Peter:2:15 @ For it is God's will that by doing right you should silence the ignorance of foolish men.

tcent@1Peter:2:20 @ For what credit is it, if when you do wrong and are beaten for it you patiently endure? But if when you do right and suffer for it you patiently endure, you have favor with God.

tcent@1Peter:2:21 @ For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps.

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:2:24 @ He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sin and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed.

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:3:6 @ 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:3:13 @ Who is there to harm you if you are zealous for what is good?

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:3:15 @ but in your hearts reverence Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet do it with gentleness and respect;

tcent@1Peter:3:16 @ and keep a clear conscience, so that, when you are abused, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame.

tcent@1Peter:3:17 @ For it is better to suffer for doing right, if that should be God's will, than for doing wrong.

tcent@1Peter:3:18 @ For Christ also died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit;

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:3:22 @ who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, with angels and authorities and powers subject to him.

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:4:6 @ For this reason the gospel was preached even to those who are dead, that though they are judged in the flesh as men, they might live in the spirit according to the will of God.

tcent@1Peter:4:11 @ Whoever speaks is to do so as one who is speaking the utterances of God; whoever serves is to do so as one who is serving by the strength which God supplies; so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belongs the glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

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:4:13 @ But rejoice that you share in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may also be overjoyed when his glory is revealed.

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:4:19 @ Therefore, let those who suffer according to God's will do right and entrust their souls to a faithful Creator.

tcent@1Peter:5:1 @ So I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ and a partaker in the glory that is to be revealed,

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:5:5 @ Likewise you that are younger men be subject to the elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for

tcent@1Peter:5:6 @ Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time.

tcent@1Peter:5:9 @ But resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being accomplished by your brethren throughout the world.

tcent@1Peter:5:12 @ With the help of Silvanus, a faithful brother as I regard him, I have written to you briefly, exhorting you and testifying that this is the true grace of God. Stand fast in it.

tcent@2Peter:1:4 @ By these he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may escape from the corruption that is in the world because of lust, and become partakers of the divine nature.

tcent@2Peter:1:9 @ For whoever lacks these things is blind and shortsighted, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins.

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:1:15 @ And I will see to it that after my departure you will be able at any time to call these things to mind.

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:1:19 @ And we have the prophetic word made more sure, and you will do well to pay attention to this as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.

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: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:2:8 @ (for by what he saw and heard that righteous man, while living among them, felt his righteous soul tormented day after day by their lawless deeds),

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:2:14 @ They have eyes full of adultery, that never cease from sin; they entice unstable souls. They have hearts trained in greed. Accursed children!

tcent@2Peter:2:17 @ These are springs without water and mists driven by a storm; for them the blackest darkness has been reserved.

tcent@2Peter:2:19 @ They promise them freedom, while they themselves are slaves of corruption; for whatever overcomes a man, to that he is enslaved.

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: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:3:2 @ that you should remember the words spoken beforehand by the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior spoken through your apostles.

tcent@2Peter:3:3 @ First of all you must understand this, that scoffers will come in the last days, with scoffing, following their own lusts

tcent@2Peter:3:4 @ and saying, »Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation.«

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:3:6 @ through which the world at that time was destroyed, being deluged with 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:3:10 @ But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with fire, and the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.

tcent@2Peter:3:11 @ Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what sort of people ought you to be in holy lives and godliness,

tcent@2Peter:3:12 @ looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be destroyed by fire, and the elements will melt with intense heat!

tcent@2Peter:3:15 @ And regard the patience of our Lord as salvation; just as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given him, wrote to you.

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@1John:1:1 @ That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have touched, concerning the Word of life—

tcent@1John:1:2 @ the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and testify to it, and proclaim to you the eternal life which was with the Father and was manifested to us—

tcent@1John:1:3 @ that which we have seen and heard we proclaim also to you, so that you may have fellowship with us; and our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ.

tcent@1John:1:4 @ And we write this that our joy may be complete.

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:1:10 @ 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:2:5 @ 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:2:9 @ He who says he is in the light and hates his brother is in the darkness still.

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:2:22 @ Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the Antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son.

tcent@1John:2:23 @ No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also.

tcent@1John:2:24 @ Let that abide in you which you heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, then you also will abide in the Son and in the Father.

tcent@1John:2:25 @ And this is what he has promised us—eternal life.

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:3:11 @ For this is the message which you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another,

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:3:19 @ 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:3:22 @ and we receive from him whatever we ask, because we keep his commandments and do what pleases him.

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:4:2 @ 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:4:4 @ You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

tcent@1John:4:9 @ In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him.

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:4:13 @ By this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit.

tcent@1John:4:14 @ And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son as the Savior of the world.

tcent@1John:4:15 @ Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.

tcent@1John:4:17 @ In this love is perfected among us, that we may have confidence for the Day of Judgment, because as he is so are we in this world.

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:4:21 @ And this commandment we have from him: that he who loves God must love his brother also.

tcent@1John:5:1 @ Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves the parent loves the child.

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:5:4 @ For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.

tcent@1John:5:5 @ Who is it that overcomes the world but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

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:5:8 @ There are three witnesses, the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree.

tcent@1John:5:9 @ If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater; for this is the testimony of God which he has borne witness of his Son.

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:5:11 @ And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

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:5:14 @ And this is the confidence which we have in him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us.

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:1:3 @ grace, mercy, and peace will be with us, from God the Father and from Jesus Christ the Father's Son, in truth and love.

tcent@2John:1:4 @ I rejoiced greatly to find some of your children walking in the truth, just as we have been commanded by the Father.

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:1:6 @ And this is love, that we walk according to his commandments. This is the commandment, just as you have heard from the beginning, that you should walk in love.

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:1:12 @ 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:1:2 @ Beloved, I pray that you may be in good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well.

tcent@3John:1:3 @ For I greatly rejoiced when some of the brethren arrived and testified to the truth of your life, and how you are walking in truth.

tcent@3John:1:4 @ I have no greater joy than this, to hear that my children are walking in the truth.

tcent@3John:1:5 @ Beloved, you are acting faithfully in whatever you accomplish for the brethren, and especially when they are strangers;

tcent@3John:1:8 @ Therefore we ought to support such men, so that we may be fellow workers in the truth.

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@Jude:1:1 @ Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ and brother of James, to those who are called, beloved in God the Father and kept for Jesus Christ:

tcent@Jude:1:3 @ Beloved, although I was very eager to write you about our common salvation, I felt the necessity to write to you appealing that you contend for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints.

tcent@Jude:1:4 @ For certain persons have crept in secretly, those who were long ago marked out for this condemnation, ungodly persons who turn the grace of our God into licentiousness and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.

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:1:10 @ 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:1:12 @ These are the men who are blemishes in your love feasts when they feast with you without fear, caring for themselves; clouds without water, carried along by winds; autumn trees without fruit, twice dead, uprooted;

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:1:16 @ These are grumblers, finding fault, following after their own lusts; they speak arrogantly, flattering people for their own advantage.

tcent@Jude:1:23 @ save others, snatching them out of the fire; and on some have mercy with fear, hating even the garment polluted by the flesh.

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@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,
