tcent@Romans:9:27 @ And Isaiah cries out concerning Israel: »Though the number of the sons of Israel be as the sand of the sea, only the remnant will be saved.

tcent@Romans:9:32 @ Why? Because they did not pursue it by faith, but as if it were by works. They have stumbled over the stumbling stone,

tcent@Romans:10:1 @ 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:10:9 @ 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:10:10 @ For man believes with his heart and so is justified, and he confesses with his mouth and so is saved.

tcent@Romans:10:11 @ The scripture says, »No one who believes in him will be put to shame.«

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

tcent@Romans:10:13 @ For, »everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.«

tcent@Romans:10:14 @ How then can they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how can they believe in him of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without a preacher?

tcent@Romans:10:15 @ And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, »How beautiful are the feet of those who preach good news!«

tcent@Romans:10:16 @ But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, »Lord, who has believed our message?«

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

tcent@Romans:11:1 @ I ask, then, has God rejected his people? Certainly not! I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, a member of the tribe of Benjamin.

tcent@Romans:11:6 @ And if it is by grace, then it is no longer on the basis of works; otherwise, grace would no longer be grace.

tcent@Romans:11:15 @ 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:11:22 @ Therefore consider the kindness and the severity of God: severity toward those who fell, but kindness to you, provided you continue in his kindness; otherwise you also will be cut off.

tcent@Romans:11:23 @ And they also, if they do not persist in unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.

tcent@Romans:11:24 @ 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:11:26 @ And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written:

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:11:30 @ Just as you were once disobedient to God but now have received mercy because of their disobedience,

tcent@Romans:11:31 @ so they have now been disobedient in order that by the mercy shown to you they also may receive mercy.

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

tcent@Romans:11:36 @ For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen.

tcent@Romans:12:2 @ Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

tcent@Romans:12:3 @ For by the grace given to me I say to every one among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith which God has assigned him.

tcent@Romans:12:4 @ For as in one body we have many members, and all the members do not have the same function,

tcent@Romans:12:5 @ so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.

tcent@Romans:12:8 @ 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:12:10 @ Be devoted to one another in brotherly love; outdo one another in showing honor.

tcent@Romans:12:11 @ Never be lacking in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serving the Lord.

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:12:19 @ Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God; for it is written, »Vengeance is mine, I will repay,« says the Lord.

tcent@Romans:12:21 @ Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

tcent@Romans:13:1 @ Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist have been instituted by God.

tcent@Romans:13:4 @ 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:13:9 @ The commandments, »You shall not commit adultery,« »You shall not murder,« »You shall not steal,« »You shall not covet,« and any other commandment there may be, are summed up in this sentence, »You shall love your neighbor as yourself.«

tcent@Romans:13:11 @ 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:14:2 @ One believes he may eat anything, but the man whose faith is weak eats only vegetables.

tcent@Romans:14:4 @ Who are you to judge the servant of another? To his own master he stands or falls. And he will be made to stand, for the Master is able to make him stand.

tcent@Romans:14:5 @ One man esteems one day as better than another; another man esteems every day alike. Let each one be fully convinced in his own mind.

tcent@Romans:14:9 @ 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:14:15 @ If your brother is distressed because of what you eat, you are no longer walking in love. Do not by your eating destroy the one for whom Christ died.

tcent@Romans:14:16 @ So do not let your good be spoken of as evil.

tcent@Romans:14:22 @ The faith that you have, keep between yourself and God. Happy is he who does not condemn himself for what he approves.

tcent@Romans:14:23 @ But he who has doubts is condemned if he eats, because he does not act from faith; for whatever is not from faith is sin.

tcent@Romans:15:1 @ We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

tcent@Romans:15:8 @ 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:15:13 @ 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:15:15 @ 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:15:20 @ 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:15:22 @ This is the reason why I have often been hindered from coming to you.

tcent@Romans:15:24 @ I plan to do so when I go to Spain. I hope to see you while passing through, and to be helped by you on my journey there, after I have enjoyed your company for a while.

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

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:15:31 @ 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:15:33 @ The God of peace be with you all. Amen.

tcent@Romans:16:1 @ I commend to you Phoebe our sister, who is a servant of the church in Cenchrea,

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:16:7 @ Greet Andronicus and Junias, my kinsmen and my fellow prisoners; they are men of note among the apostles, and they were in Christ before me.

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

tcent@Romans:16:9 @ Greet Urbanus, our fellow worker in Christ, and Stachys my beloved.

tcent@Romans:16:10 @ Greet Apelles, who is approved in Christ. Greet those who belong to the household of Aristobulus.

tcent@Romans:16:12 @ Greet Tryphena and Tryphosa, those workers in the Lord. Greet the beloved Persis, who has worked hard in the Lord.

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:16:26 @ 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@Romans:16:27 @ to the only wise God be glory forever through Jesus Christ! Amen.

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

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:1:4 @ I thank my God always for you because of the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus,

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:1:16 @ (Now I did baptize also the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I do not know whether I baptized any one else.)

tcent@1Corinthians:1:17 @ For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel—not with words of human wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.

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

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:1:29 @ 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:2:7 @ 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:2:14 @ 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:3:10 @ 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:3:13 @ each man's work will become evident; for the day will show it, because it is to be revealed with fire, and the fire itself will test the quality of each man’s work.

tcent@1Corinthians:3:15 @ If any man's work is burned up, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, but only as through fire.

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:3:23 @ and you belong to Christ; and Christ belongs to God.

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:4:5 @ Therefore do not go on passing judgment before the time, but wait until the Lord comes who will both bring to light the things hidden in the darkness and disclose the motives of men's hearts. Then every man will receive his praise from God.

tcent@1Corinthians:4:6 @ Now these things, brethren, I have figuratively applied to myself and Apollos for your benefit, so that in us you may learn not to go beyond what is written, so that no one of you will become arrogant in favor of one against the other.

tcent@1Corinthians:4:8 @ 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:4:13 @ when we are slandered, we try to conciliate; we have become, and are now, as the scum of the world, the refuse of all things.

tcent@1Corinthians:4:14 @ I do not write this to shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved children.

tcent@1Corinthians:4:15 @ For though you have countless guides in Christ, you do not have many fathers, for in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel.

tcent@1Corinthians:4:16 @ Therefore I urge you, be imitators of me.

tcent@1Corinthians:4:17 @ For this reason I have sent to you Timothy, who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, and he will remind you of my ways which are in Christ, just as I teach everywhere in every church.

tcent@1Corinthians:4:18 @ Now some have become arrogant, as though I were not coming to you.

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:5:7 @ 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:5:11 @ 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:6:1 @ When any one of you has a grievance against a brother, does he dare go to law before the unrighteous instead of before the saints?

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:6:5 @ 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:6:12 @ »All things are lawful for me,« but not all things are helpful. »All things are lawful for me,« but I will not be mastered by anything.

tcent@1Corinthians:6:15 @ 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:7:2 @ But because of immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman her own husband.

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:7:9 @ But if they cannot exercise self-control, they should marry; for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.

tcent@1Corinthians:7:11 @ (but if she does leave, she must remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband), and that the husband should not divorce his wife.

tcent@1Corinthians:7:12 @ But to the rest I say, not the Lord, that if any brother has a wife who is an unbeliever, and she consents to live with him, he must not divorce her.

tcent@1Corinthians:7:13 @ If any woman has a husband who is an unbeliever, and he consents to live with her, she must not divorce him.

tcent@1Corinthians:7:14 @ For the unbelieving husband is sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified through her husband. Otherwise, your children would be unclean, but as it is they are holy.

tcent@1Corinthians:7:15 @ But if the unbelieving partner leaves, let him do so; in such a case the brother or sister is not bound. For God has called us to peace.

tcent@1Corinthians:7:18 @ Was any man called when he was already circumcised? He is not to become uncircumcised. Has anyone been called in uncircumcision? He is not to be circumcised.

tcent@1Corinthians:7:23 @ You were bought with a price; do not become slaves of men.

tcent@1Corinthians:7:27 @ Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek to be free. Are you free from a wife? Do not seek marriage.

tcent@1Corinthians:7:32 @ But I want you to be free from concern. One who is unmarried is concerned about the affairs of the Lord, how he may please the Lord;

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:7:37 @ But he who stands firm in his heart, being under no constraint, but has control over his own will, and has decided this in his own heart, to keep her as his betrothed, he will do well.

tcent@1Corinthians:7:38 @ So then he who marries his betrothed does well, and he who does not marry her will do better.

tcent@1Corinthians:7:39 @ A wife is bound to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is free to be married to whom she wishes, only in the Lord.

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:9:5 @ Do we not have a right to take along a believing wife, even as the other apostles and the brothers of the Lord and Cephas?

tcent@1Corinthians:9:10 @ Or is he speaking altogether for our sake? Yes, for our sake it was written, because the plowman ought to plow in hope, and the thresher to thresh in hope of sharing the crops.

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:9:26 @ 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:10:7 @ 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:10:13 @ 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:10:17 @ Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread.

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:10:27 @ 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:10:29 @ the other man's conscience, I mean, not yours. For why should my freedom be judged by another's conscience?

tcent@1Corinthians:10:30 @ If I partake with thankfulness, why am I denounced because of that for which I give thanks?

tcent@1Corinthians:10:33 @ 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:11:2 @ I praise you because you remember me in everything and hold firmly to the traditions, just as I delivered them to you.

tcent@1Corinthians:11:10 @ Therefore the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels.

tcent@1Corinthians:11:16 @ If anyone wants to be contentious, we have no other practice, nor do the churches of God.

tcent@1Corinthians:11:17 @ But in the following instructions, I do not praise you, because you come together not for the better but for the worse.

tcent@1Corinthians:11:18 @ 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:11:23 @ 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:11:27 @ 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:11:30 @ That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep.

tcent@1Corinthians:11:31 @ But if we judged ourselves rightly, we would not be judged.

tcent@1Corinthians:11:32 @ But when we are judged, we are disciplined by the Lord so that we will not be condemned along with the world.

tcent@1Corinthians:12:1 @ Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I do not want you to be uninformed.

tcent@1Corinthians:12:2 @ You know that when you were pagans, you were led astray to mute idols, however you may have been moved.

tcent@1Corinthians:12:3 @ Therefore I tell you that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, »Jesus be cursed,« and no one can say, »Jesus is Lord,« except by the Holy Spirit.

tcent@1Corinthians:12:10 @ 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:12:12 @ For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though they are many, are one body, so it is with Christ.

tcent@1Corinthians:12:14 @ For the body is not made up of one member but of many.

tcent@1Corinthians:12:15 @ If the foot should say, »Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,« it would not for that reason be any less a part of the body.

tcent@1Corinthians:12:16 @ And if the ear should say, »Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,« it would not for that reason be any less a part of the body.

tcent@1Corinthians:12:17 @ If the whole body were an eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole body were an ear, where would be the sense of smell?

tcent@1Corinthians:12:18 @ But now God has arranged the members in the body, each one of them, just as he desired.

tcent@1Corinthians:12:19 @ If they were all one member, where would the body be?

tcent@1Corinthians:12:22 @ On the contrary, the parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable,

tcent@1Corinthians:12:24 @ while our more presentable members have no need of it. But God has so composed the body, giving the greater honor to the parts that lacked it,

tcent@1Corinthians:12:25 @ so that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another.

tcent@1Corinthians:12:26 @ And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.

tcent@1Corinthians:12:27 @ Now you are the body of Christ, and individually members of it.

tcent@1Corinthians:13:3 @ If I give all I have to the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.

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

tcent@1Corinthians:13:8 @ Love never fails; but where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.

tcent@1Corinthians:13:11 @ When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; when I became a man, I put childish ways behind me.

tcent@1Corinthians:13:12 @ For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know fully—even as I have been fully known.

tcent@1Corinthians: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:14:9 @ 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:14:11 @ If then I do not know the meaning of the language, I will be a foreigner to the one who is speaking, and the speaker will be a foreigner to me.

tcent@1Corinthians:14:17 @ For you may be giving thanks well enough, but the other man is not edified.

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

tcent@1Corinthians:14:22 @ Tongues, then, are a sign, not for believers but for unbelievers; but prophecy is for believers, not for unbelievers.

tcent@1Corinthians:14:23 @ Therefore if the whole church assembles together and all speak in tongues, and outsiders or unbelievers enter, will they not say that you are mad?

tcent@1Corinthians:14:24 @ But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever or an outsider enters, he is convicted by all, he is called to account by all;

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

tcent@1Corinthians:14:34 @ the women should keep silent in the churches. For they are not permitted to speak, but should be submissive, as even the law says.

tcent@1Corinthians:14:40 @ But all things should be done decently and in an orderly way.

tcent@1Corinthians:15:2 @ by which also you are saved, if you hold fast the word which I preached to you, unless you believed in vain.

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

tcent@1Corinthians:15:11 @ Whether then it was I or they, so we preach and so you believed.

tcent@1Corinthians:15:12 @ Now if Christ is preached that he has been raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?

tcent@1Corinthians:15:13 @ But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised;

tcent@1Corinthians:15:14 @ if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and so is your faith.

tcent@1Corinthians:15:15 @ More than that, we are even found to be false witnesses of God, because we testified against God that he raised Christ, whom he did not raise, if in fact the dead are not raised.

tcent@1Corinthians:15:16 @ For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised.

tcent@1Corinthians:15:17 @ And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins.

tcent@1Corinthians:15:19 @ If for this life only we have hoped in Christ, we are of all men most to be pitied.

tcent@1Corinthians:15:20 @ But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep.

tcent@1Corinthians:15:22 @ For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.

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

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:15:32 @ If I fought wild beasts in Ephesus for merely human reasons, what have I gained? If the dead are not raised,

tcent@1Corinthians:15:33 @ Do not be deceived:

tcent@1Corinthians:15:37 @ 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:15:45 @ So it is written, »The first man Adam became a living being«; the last Adam became a life-giving spirit.

tcent@1Corinthians:15:49 @ Just as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the man of heaven.

tcent@1Corinthians:15:51 @ Behold, I tell you a mystery; we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed,

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:15:57 @ But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

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:16:2 @ 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:16:13 @ Be on the your guard, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.

tcent@1Corinthians:16:14 @ Let all that you do be done in love.

tcent@1Corinthians:16:16 @ to be subject to such men and to everyone who helps in the work and labors.

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:16:22 @ If anyone does not love the Lord—let him be accursed. Come, O Lord!

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

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

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:1:7 @ 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:1:11 @ 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:1:14 @ 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:1:18 @ But as surely as God is faithful, our word to you has not been Yes and No.

tcent@2Corinthians:1:19 @ For the Son of God, Christ Jesus, who was preached among you by us—by me and Silvanus and Timothy—was not Yes and No, but in him it has always been Yes.

tcent@2Corinthians: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:2:7 @ 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:2:13 @ I still had no rest in my mind, because I did not find my brother Titus there. So I took my leave of them and went on to Macedonia.

tcent@2Corinthians:2:14 @ But thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumph, and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of him everywhere.

tcent@2Corinthians:2:15 @ For we are the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing,

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:3:7 @ Now if the ministry that brought death, which was engraved in letters on stone, came with glory, so that the Israelites could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of its glory, fading though it was,

tcent@2Corinthians:3:8 @ will not the ministry of the Spirit be even more glorious?

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

tcent@2Corinthians:3:14 @ But their minds were hardened; for to this day, when they read the old covenant, the same veil remains unlifted, because only in Christ is it removed.

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

tcent@2Corinthians:4:4 @ 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:4:10 @ 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:4:13 @ 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:4:15 @ 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:4:17 @ For our light and momentary affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison,

tcent@2Corinthians:5:2 @ Here indeed we groan, longing to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling,

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

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:5:12 @ 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:5:13 @ For if we are beside ourselves, it is for God; if we are in our right mind, it is for you.

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

tcent@2Corinthians:5:20 @ We are therefore ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making his appeal through us. We beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.

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

tcent@2Corinthians:6:9 @ as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold we live; as punished, and yet not killed;

tcent@2Corinthians:6:14 @ 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:7:1 @ Since we have these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from every defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

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:7:9 @ 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:7:11 @ For behold what this very thing, godly sorrow, has produced in you: what earnestness, what eagerness to clear yourselves, what indignation, what alarm, what longing, what zeal, what readiness to see justice done! At every point you have proved yourselves to be innocent in this matter.

tcent@2Corinthians:7:12 @ So although I wrote to you, it was not on account of the one who did the wrong, nor on account of the one who suffered the wrong, but in order that your zeal for us might be revealed to you in the sight of God.

tcent@2Corinthians:7:14 @ For if I have boasted to him about you, I was not put to shame; but just as everything we said to you was true, so our boasting before Titus has proved true.

tcent@2Corinthians:7:15 @ And his affection goes out all the more to you, as he remembers the obedience of you all, how you received him with fear and trembling.

tcent@2Corinthians:7:16 @ I rejoice, because I have perfect confidence in you.

tcent@2Corinthians:8:1 @ Now, brethren, we want you to know about the grace of God which has been given in the churches of Macedonia,

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

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:8:9 @ 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:8:13 @ 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:8:16 @ But thanks be to God who puts the same earnest care for you into the heart of Titus.

tcent@2Corinthians:8:17 @ For he not only accepted our appeal, but being himself very earnest he is going to you of his own accord.

tcent@2Corinthians:8:19 @ and not only that, but he has been appointed by the churches to travel with us in this gracious work which we are carrying on, for the glory of the Lord himself and to show our good will.

tcent@2Corinthians:8:20 @ We intend that no one should blame us about this liberal gift which we are administering,

tcent@2Corinthians:8:22 @ 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:8:24 @ Therefore openly before the churches, show these men the proof of your love and the reason for our boasting about 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:9:4 @ lest if any Macedonians come with me and find you unprepared, we—not to say anything about you—would be ashamed of having been so confident.

tcent@2Corinthians:9:5 @ So I thought it necessary to urge the brethren to go on to you before me, and arrange in advance for this gift you have promised, so that it may be ready not as an exaction but as a willing gift.

tcent@2Corinthians:9:11 @ You will be enriched in every way for great generosity, which through us will produce thanksgiving to God.

tcent@2Corinthians:9:13 @ Because of the test of this service, you will glorify God by your obedience in your confession of the gospel of Christ, and by the generosity of your contribution for them and for all others;

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

tcent@2Corinthians:9:15 @ Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!

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:10:6 @ and we are ready to punish every disobedience, whenever your obedience is complete.

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: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:11:7 @ 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:11:8 @ I robbed other churches by accepting support from them in order to serve you.

tcent@2Corinthians:11:9 @ And when I was with you and needed something, I was not a burden to anyone, for the brethren who came from Macedonia supplied what I needed. I have kept myself from being a burden to you in any way, and will continue to do so.

tcent@2Corinthians:11:10 @ As the truth of Christ is in me, this boasting of mine will not be stopped in the regions of Achaia.

tcent@2Corinthians:11:11 @ Why? Because I do not love you? God knows I do!

tcent@2Corinthians:11:12 @ 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:11:15 @ Therefore it is not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will be according to their deeds.

tcent@2Corinthians:11:19 @ For you put up with fools gladly, being so wise yourselves!

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:11:27 @ I have been in labor and hardship, through many sleepless nights, in hunger and thirst, often without food, in cold and exposure.

tcent@2Corinthians:11:28 @ Besides such external things, there is the daily pressure on me of concern for all the churches.

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:12:5 @ On behalf of such a man I will boast, but on my own behalf I will not boast, except of my weaknesses.

tcent@2Corinthians:12:6 @ Though if I should boast, I will not be a fool, for I will be speaking the truth. But I refrain from it, so that no one may think more of me than he sees in me or hears from me.

tcent@2Corinthians:12:7 @ 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:12:11 @ I have been a fool! You forced me to it, for I ought to have been commended by you. For I was not in the least inferior to these super-apostles, even though I am nothing.

tcent@2Corinthians:12:13 @ For in what respect were you inferior to the rest of the churches, except that I myself did not become a burden to you? Forgive me this wrong!

tcent@2Corinthians:12:14 @ Here for the third time I am ready to come to you. And I will not be a burden to you, for I seek not what is yours but you; for children ought not to lay up for their parents, but parents for their children.

tcent@2Corinthians:12:15 @ I will most gladly spend and be spent for your souls. If I love you the more, am I to be loved the less?

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:13:1 @ This is the third time I am coming to you. Every charge must be established by the evidence of two or three witnesses.

tcent@2Corinthians:13:10 @ I write these things while I am absent, in order that when I come I may not have to be severe in my use of the authority which the Lord gave me for building you up, and not for tearing you down.

tcent@2Corinthians:13:11 @ Finally, brethren, farewell. Aim for perfection, listen to my appeal, be of one mind, live in peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you.

tcent@2Corinthians:13:14 @ The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.

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

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:1:14 @ 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:1:17 @ 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:1:20 @ (Now in what I am writing to you, I assure you before God that I do not lie.)

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

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:2:6 @ 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:2:9 @ 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:2:14 @ 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:2:16 @ yet who know that a man is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we may be justified by faith in Christ, and not by works of the law, because by works of the law will no flesh be justified.

tcent@Galatians:2:17 @ But if, while seeking to be justified in Christ, we ourselves have also been found sinners, is Christ then an agent of sin? Certainly not!

tcent@Galatians:2:20 @ I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me; and the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

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

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

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:3:11 @ Now that no one is justified by the Law before God is evident; for, »The righteous man shall live by faith.«

tcent@Galatians:3:13 @ 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:3:15 @ 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:3:19 @ 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:3:21 @ 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:3:29 @ And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's offspring, heirs according to promise.

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

tcent@Galatians:4:9 @ But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how is it that you turn back again to the weak and worthless elemental things? Do you desire to be enslaved all over again?

tcent@Galatians:4:12 @ Brethren, I beg you, become as I am, for I also have become as you are. You have done me no wrong;

tcent@Galatians:4:13 @ you know it was because of an illness in the flesh that I preached the gospel to you at first;

tcent@Galatians:4:15 @ 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:4:20 @ 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:4:24 @ 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: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:5:4 @ You have been severed from Christ, you who are seeking to be justified by law; you have fallen away from grace.

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

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:5:21 @ 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:5:24 @ Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

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

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

tcent@Galatians:6:12 @ 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:6:14 @ 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:6:16 @ 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:1:3 @ 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:1:5 @ he predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of his will,

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

tcent@Ephesians:1:11 @ also we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things after the counsel of his will,

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:1:16 @ I do not cease giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers,

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:1:22 @ And he put all things under his feet and gave him to be the head over all things for the church,

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

tcent@Ephesians:2:5 @ even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),

tcent@Ephesians:2:8 @ For by grace you have been saved through faith; and this is not of yourselves, it is the gift of God—

tcent@Ephesians:2:10 @ 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:2:13 @ But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near in the blood of Christ.

tcent@Ephesians:2:19 @ So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and are members of God's household,

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

tcent@Ephesians:2:21 @ in whom the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord;

tcent@Ephesians:2:22 @ in whom you also are being built together into a dwelling of God in the Spirit.

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:3:14 @ 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:4:13 @ until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to become mature, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.

tcent@Ephesians:4:14 @ As a result, we are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the cunning of men, by their craftiness in deceitful scheming.

tcent@Ephesians:4:16 @ 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:4:19 @ and they, having become callous, have given themselves over to sensuality, greedy for the practice of every kind of impurity.

tcent@Ephesians:4:22 @ You were taught, with regard to your former manner of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful lusts;

tcent@Ephesians:4:23 @ and be renewed in the spirit of your minds,

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

tcent@Ephesians:4:32 @ Be kind and tenderhearted to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

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

tcent@Ephesians:5:3 @ But immorality or any impurity or greed must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints.

tcent@Ephesians:5:4 @ And there must be no filthiness and silly talk, or coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather let there be thanksgiving.

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

tcent@Ephesians:5:7 @ Therefore do not be partners with them;

tcent@1Thessalonians:2:10 @ You are witnesses, and God also, how holy and righteous and blameless we behaved toward you believers;

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: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:3:5 @ 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:3:13 @ 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:4:6 @ 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:4:9 @ Now concerning love of the brethren you have no need to have any one write to you, for you yourselves have been taught by God to love one another;

tcent@1Thessalonians:4:12 @ so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anyone.

tcent@1Thessalonians:4:13 @ But we do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, about those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve as do the rest who have no hope.

tcent@1Thessalonians:4:14 @ 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:4:17 @ Then we who are alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord.

tcent@1Thessalonians:5:6 @ So then let us not sleep, as others do, but let us be alert and sober.

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:5:13 @ 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:5:23 @ 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@1Thessalonians:5:28 @ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

tcent@2Thessalonians:1:3 @ We ought to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, as is fitting, because your faith is growing abundantly, and the love of every one of you for one another is increasing.

tcent@2Thessalonians:1:5 @ 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:1:7 @ and to give relief to you who are afflicted and to us as well when the Lord Jesus will be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels in flaming fire,

tcent@2Thessalonians:1:8 @ inflicting vengeance on those who do not know God and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.

tcent@2Thessalonians: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:1:12 @ 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:2:8 @ 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:2:10 @ and with all the deception of wickedness for those who are to perish, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.

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: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:3:8 @ nor did we eat anyone's bread without paying for it, but with labor and hardship we worked night and day so that we would not be a burden to any of you.

tcent@2Thessalonians:3:9 @ We did this, not because we do not have the right to such help, but in order to make ourselves an example for you to follow.

tcent@2Thessalonians:3:14 @ If anyone does not obey our instruction in this letter, take special note of that person and do not associate with him, so that he may be ashamed.

tcent@2Thessalonians:3:16 @ Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in every way. The Lord be with you all.

tcent@1Timothy:1:12 @ I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me strength, because he considered me faithful, appointing me to his service.

tcent@1Timothy:1:13 @ Even though I was formerly a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent aggressor, I was shown mercy because I acted ignorantly in unbelief;

tcent@1Timothy:1:16 @ 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: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:3:8 @ Deacons likewise must be men of dignity, not double-tongued, not addicted to much wine, and not fond of sordid gain;

tcent@1Timothy:3:10 @ They must also first be tested; and then if they are beyond reproach, let them serve as deacons.

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

tcent@1Timothy:3:12 @ Deacons must be the husband of one wife, and must manage their children and their households well.

tcent@1Timothy:4:6 @ If you point out these things to the brethren, you will be a good minister of Christ Jesus, constantly nourished on the words of the faith and of the good doctrine which you have followed.

tcent@1Timothy:5:9 @ A widow is to be put on the list only if she is not less than sixty years old, having been the wife of one husband,

tcent@1Timothy:5:10 @ and she must be well known for her good deeds, as one who has brought up children, shown hospitality, washed the feet of the saints, relieved those in distress, and devoted herself to doing good in every way.

tcent@1Timothy:5:13 @ Besides, they learn to be idle, going about from house to house. And not only do they become idlers, but also gossips and busybodies, saying things they ought not to.

tcent@1Timothy:5:14 @ So I would have younger widows marry, bear children, manage their homes, and give the enemy no occasion for reproach.

tcent@1Timothy:5:16 @ If any woman who is a believer has dependent widows, she must assist them, and let not the church be burdened, so that it may assist those who are real widows.

tcent@1Timothy:5:24 @ 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:1:14 @ Guard, through the Holy Spirit who dwells in us, the treasure that has been entrusted to you.

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

tcent@2Timothy:2:8 @ Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, descended from David according to my gospel,

tcent@2Timothy:2:15 @ Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.

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:3:9 @ But they will not get very far, for their folly will be plain to all, as was that of those two men.

tcent@2Timothy:3:12 @ Indeed all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted,

tcent@2Timothy:3:13 @ while evil men and impostors will go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.

tcent@2Timothy:4:16 @ At my first defense no one came to my support, but all deserted me; may it not be counted against them.

tcent@Titus:1:10 @ For there are many rebellious men, empty talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision.

tcent@Titus:1:11 @ They must be silenced, because they are upsetting whole families by teaching things they ought not to teach for the sake of sordid gain.

tcent@Titus:1:13 @ This testimony is true. Therefore, rebuke them sharply, so that they may be sound in the faith

tcent@Titus:1:15 @ To the pure, all things are pure; but to those who are corrupted and unbelieving, nothing is pure, but both their minds and consciences are corrupted.

tcent@Titus:1:16 @ They profess to know God, but they deny him by their deeds; they are detestable and disobedient, unfit for any good deed.

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:2:5 @ to be sensible, pure, workers at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be dishonored.

tcent@Titus:2:6 @ Likewise urge the young men to be sensible.

tcent@Philemon:1:1 @ Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, to Philemon our beloved brother and fellow worker,

tcent@Philemon:1:4 @ I thank my God always when I remember you in my prayers,

tcent@Philemon:1:5 @ because I hear of your love and of the faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus and all the saints,

tcent@Philemon:1:6 @ and I pray that the sharing of your faith may become effective through the knowledge of every good thing that is ours in Christ.

tcent@Philemon:1:7 @ For I have derived much joy and comfort from your love, my brother, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you.

tcent@Philemon:1:10 @ I appeal to you for my child, Onesimus, whose father I have become in my imprisonment.

tcent@Philemon:1:13 @ I would have been glad to keep him with me, so that he might serve me on your behalf during my imprisonment for the gospel;

tcent@Philemon:1:14 @ but without your consent I did not want to do anything, so that your goodness would not be, in effect, by compulsion but of your own free will.

tcent@Philemon:1:16 @ no longer as a slave, but more than a slave, as a beloved brother, especially to me, but how much more to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.

tcent@Philemon:1:20 @ Yes, brother, let me have some benefit from you in the Lord; refresh my heart in Christ.

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

tcent@Philemon:1:22 @ At the same time, prepare a guest room for me, for I hope through your prayers to be granted to you.

tcent@Philemon:1:25 @ The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.

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:1:4 @ having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs.

tcent@Hebrews:2:2 @ For if the message spoken by angels was valid, and every transgression and disobedience received a just punishment,

tcent@Hebrews:2:9 @ But we see Jesus, who for a little while was made lower than the angels, crowned with glory and honor because of the suffering of death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone.

tcent@Hebrews:2:11 @ For both he who sanctifies and those who are being sanctified are all of one. That is why he is not ashamed to call them brethren,

tcent@Hebrews:2:17 @ 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:2:18 @ For because he himself has suffered, being tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.

tcent@Hebrews:3:3 @ Yet Jesus has been counted worthy of as much more glory than Moses as the builder of a house has more honor than the house.

tcent@Hebrews:3:5 @ Now Moses was faithful in all God's house as a servant, to testify to the things that were to be spoken later,

tcent@Hebrews:3:12 @ Take care, brethren, lest there be in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from the living God.

tcent@Hebrews:3:13 @ But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called »Today,« so that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.

tcent@Hebrews:3:16 @ Who were they who heard and rebelled? Were they not all those Moses led out of Egypt?

tcent@Hebrews:3:18 @ 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:4:1 @ Therefore, while the promise of entering his rest remains, let us fear lest any one of you be judged to have come short of it.

tcent@Hebrews:4:2 @ For we also have had the good news preached to us, just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, because those who heard did not combine it with faith.

tcent@Hebrews:4:3 @ 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:4:6 @ Since therefore it remains for some to enter it, and those who formerly had the good news preached to them failed to enter because of disobedience,

tcent@Hebrews:4:7 @ God again set a certain day, »Today,« saying through David after so long a time just as has been said before,

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:4:15 @ For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin.

tcent@Hebrews:5:1 @ 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:5:2 @ He can deal gently with those who are ignorant and going astray, since he himself is beset with weakness.

tcent@Hebrews:5:3 @ Because of this he has to offer sacrifices for his own sins, as well as for the sins of the people.

tcent@Hebrews:5:5 @ So also Christ did not exalt himself to become a high priest, but it was he who said to him,

tcent@Hebrews:5:7 @ 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:5:11 @ About this we have much to say which is hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing.

tcent@Hebrews:5:12 @ For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of God's word. You need milk, not solid food;

tcent@Hebrews:5:13 @ for every one who lives on milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe.

tcent@Hebrews:6:4 @ For it is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit,

tcent@Hebrews:6:8 @ But if it bears thorns and thistles, it is worthless and near to being cursed; its end is to be burned.

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:6:18 @ 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:6:20 @ where Jesus has entered as a forerunner on our behalf, having become a high priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.

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:7:11 @ 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:7:12 @ For when there is a change of the priesthood, there must also be a change of the law.

tcent@Hebrews:7:13 @ For the one of whom these things are spoken belonged to another tribe, from which no one has ever served at the altar.

tcent@Hebrews:7:14 @ For it is evident that our Lord was descended from Judah, and in regard to that tribe Moses said nothing about priests.

tcent@Hebrews:7:15 @ This becomes even more evident if another priest arises in the likeness of Melchizedek,

tcent@Hebrews:7:16 @ who has become a priest not on the basis of a law of carnal requirement, but according to the power of an indestructible life.

tcent@Hebrews:7:18 @ On the one hand, a former commandment is set aside because of its weakness and uselessness

tcent@Hebrews:7:19 @ (for the law made nothing perfect); and on the other hand, a better hope is introduced, through which we draw near to God.

tcent@Hebrews:7:21 @ 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:7:24 @ but he holds his priesthood forever, because he continues for ever.

tcent@Hebrews:7:27 @ He does not need, like those high priests, to offer up daily sacrifices, first for his own sins and then for the sins of the people, because he did this once for all when he offered up himself.

tcent@Hebrews: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:8:2 @ a minister in the sanctuary, the true tabernacle which is set up by the Lord, not by man.

tcent@Hebrews:8:4 @ Now if he were on earth, he would not be a priest at all, since there are priests who offer the gifts according to the law.

tcent@Hebrews:8:5 @ 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:9:2 @ For there was a tabernacle prepared, the first one, in which were the lampstand and the table and the sacred bread; this is called the holy place.

tcent@Hebrews:9:3 @ Behind the second curtain was a tabernacle called the Holy of Holies,

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:9:11 @ 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:9:13 @ 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:9:16 @ For where a will is, there must of necessity be the death of the one who made it.

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:9:21 @ And in the same way he sprinkled with the blood both the tabernacle and all the vessels used in worship.

tcent@Hebrews:9:23 @ It was necessary, then, for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these sacrifices, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

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:10:2 @ Otherwise, would they not have ceased to be offered? If the worshipers had once been cleansed, they would no longer have any consciousness of sins.

tcent@Hebrews:10:9 @ then he said, »Behold, I have come to do your will.« He takes away the first in order to establish the second.

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

tcent@Hebrews:10:15 @ And the Holy Spirit also bears witness to us; for after saying,

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:10:32 @ 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:11:4 @ By faith Abel offered God a more acceptable sacrifice than Cain, through which he was commended as a righteous man, when God spoke well of his gifts. And through faith he still speaks, even though he is dead.

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:11:8 @ By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place which he was to receive as an inheritance; and he went out, not knowing where he was going.

tcent@Hebrews:11:11 @ By faith Sarah herself received power to conceive, even when she was past the age, because she considered him faithful who had promised.

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:11:18 @ of whom it was said, »Through Isaac shall your descendants be called.«

tcent@Hebrews:11:23 @ By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents, because they saw he was a beautiful child; and they were not afraid of the king's edict.

tcent@Hebrews:11:24 @ By faith Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter,

tcent@Hebrews:11:30 @ By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they had been encircled for seven days.

tcent@Hebrews:11:31 @ By faith Rahab the harlot did not perish with those who were disobedient, because she had welcomed the spies.

tcent@Hebrews:11:34 @ quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, whose weakness was turned to strength, who became mighty in war, and put foreign armies to flight.

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:11:40 @ 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:12:8 @ 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:12:24 @ and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks better than the blood of Abel.

tcent@Hebrews:12:27 @ 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:13:9 @ Do not be carried away by varied and strange teachings; for it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace, not by foods, through which those who were so occupied were not benefited.

tcent@James:1:13 @ Let no one say when he is tempted, »I am being tempted by God«; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and he himself does not tempt anyone.

tcent@James:1:16 @ Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren.

tcent@James:1:18 @ 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:1:19 @ This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger,

tcent@James:1:25 @ But one who looks intently into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and abides by it, not having become a forgetful hearer but a doer that acts, this man will be blessed in what he does.

tcent@James:1:26 @ If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man's religion is worthless.

tcent@James:2:4 @ have you not made distinctions among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?

tcent@James:2:5 @ Listen, my beloved brethren: has not God chosen those who are poor in the world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which he has promised to those who love him?

tcent@James:2:7 @ Is it not they who blaspheme the honorable name by which you have been called?

tcent@James:2:10 @ For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles in one point has become guilty of all of it.

tcent@James:2:11 @ For he who said, »Do not commit adultery,« said also, »Do not murder.« If you do not commit adultery but do commit murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.

tcent@James:2:12 @ So speak and so act as those who are to be judged by the law of liberty.

tcent@James:2:13 @ For judgment will be without mercy to one who has shown no mercy; mercy triumphs over judgment.

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:2:23 @ and the scripture was fulfilled which says, »Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness«, and he was called the friend of God.

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

tcent@James:3:6 @ And the tongue is a fire, a world of evil among the members of the body. The tongue corrupts our whole person, sets the whole course of our life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.

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:3:10 @ From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brethren, this ought not to be so.

tcent@James:3:14 @ But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth.

tcent@James:3:16 @ For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every evil practice.

tcent@James:4:2 @ You desire and do not have; so you kill. And you covet and cannot obtain; so you fight and quarrel. You do not have, because you do not ask.

tcent@James:4:3 @ You ask and do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it on your pleasures.

tcent@James:4:4 @ You adulteresses, do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

tcent@James:4:9 @ Be miserable and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom.

tcent@James:4:10 @ Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.

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:5:4 @ Behold, the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, cry out against you; and the cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts.

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:5:11 @ Behold, we call those blessed who endured. You have heard of the endurance of Job, and you have seen the purpose of the Lord, how the Lord is full of compassion and mercy.

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:5:15 @ and the prayer offered in faith will save the sick man, and the Lord will raise him up; and if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.

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@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:1:7 @ 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:1:12 @ 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:1:14 @ As obedient children, do not be conformed to the former lusts which were yours in your ignorance,

tcent@1Peter:1:15 @ but as he who called you is holy, be holy yourselves in all your conduct;

tcent@1Peter:2:11 @ Beloved, I urge you as aliens and strangers to abstain from fleshly lusts which wage war against your soul.

tcent@1Peter:2:18 @ Servants, be submissive to your masters with all respect, not only to those who are good and gentle, but also to those who are overbearing.

tcent@1Peter:2:19 @ For a man is approved if, mindful of God, he bears up under pain while suffering unjustly.

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:2:24 @ 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:3:2 @ when they see your chaste and respectful behavior.

tcent@1Peter:3:3 @ Your adornment must not be merely outward—braiding the hair, and wearing gold jewelry, or putting on fine clothing;

tcent@1Peter:3:4 @ but let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in God's sight.

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:3:14 @ 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:4:1 @ Therefore, since Christ has suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same purpose, because he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,

tcent@1Peter:4:7 @ The end of all things is near; therefore be clear minded and sober for your prayers.

tcent@1Peter:4:8 @ Above all, hold unfailing your love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins.

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:4:14 @ If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you.

tcent@1Peter:4:16 @ yet if one suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but under that name let him glorify God.

tcent@1Peter:4:17 @ For it is time for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins with us, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God?

tcent@1Peter:5:1 @ 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:5:3 @ not as lording it over those in your charge, but being examples to the flock.

tcent@1Peter:5:5 @ Likewise you that are younger men be subject to the elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for

tcent@2Peter:1:4 @ 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:1:8 @ For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

tcent@2Peter:1:10 @ Therefore, brethren, be all the more eager to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never fall;

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

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:2:1 @ But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will also be false teachers among you, who will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing swift destruction upon themselves.

tcent@2Peter:2:2 @ And many will follow their licentiousness, and because of them the way of truth will be reviled.

tcent@2Peter:2:3 @ And in their greed they will exploit you with false words; from long ago their condemnation has not been idle, and their destruction has not been asleep.

tcent@2Peter:2:4 @ For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell and committed them to pits of darkness, to be reserved for judgment;

tcent@2Peter:2:11 @ 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:2:15 @ Forsaking the right way, they have gone astray, having followed the way of Balaam, the son of Beor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;

tcent@2Peter:2:16 @ but he was rebuked for his own transgression by a donkey—a beast without speech—who spoke with a man's voice and restrained the prophet's madness.

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:2:20 @ For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world by the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and are overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first.

tcent@2Peter:2:21 @ For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn away from the holy commandment handed on to them.

tcent@2Peter:3:1 @ This is now the second letter that I have written to you, beloved, and in both of them I have aroused your sincere mind by way of reminder;

tcent@2Peter:3:2 @ 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:3:4 @ 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:3:7 @ But by the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.

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:3:10 @ 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:3:14 @ Therefore, beloved, since you look for these things, be diligent to be found by him in peace, spotless and blameless.

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:3:17 @ You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, be on your guard so that you are not carried away by the error of lawless men and fall from your own steadfastness.

tcent@2Peter:3:18 @ But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.

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

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:2:8 @ Yet I am writing you a new commandment, which is true in him and in you, because the darkness is passing away and the true light is already shining.

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:2:19 @ 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:2:21 @ I write to you, not because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and because no lie is of the truth.

tcent@1John:2:24 @ 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:2:28 @ 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: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:3:8 @ He who commits sin is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil.

tcent@1John:3:9 @ No one who is of God practices sin, for God’s seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.

tcent@1John:3:10 @ By this it may be seen who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not do right is not of God, nor he who does not love his brother.

tcent@1John:3:11 @ For this is the message which you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another,

tcent@1John:3:12 @ and not be like Cain who was of the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own deeds were evil and his brother's righteous.

tcent@1John:3:14 @ 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:3:19 @ By this we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him

tcent@1John:3:21 @ Beloved, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God;

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:4:1 @ Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

tcent@1John:4:4 @ 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:4:7 @ Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.

tcent@1John:4:10 @ In this is love, not that we loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins.

tcent@1John:4:11 @ Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

tcent@1John:4:13 @ By this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit.

tcent@1John:4:16 @ So we know and believe the love God has for us.

tcent@1John:4:17 @ 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:4:18 @ There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. And he who fears is not made perfect in love.

tcent@1John:4:19 @ We love because he first loved us.

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

tcent@1John:5:7 @ And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is the truth.

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:5:13 @ 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@2John:1:2 @ because of the truth which abides in us and will be with us forever:

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:1:12 @ 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:1:1 @ The elder to the beloved Gaius, whom I love in truth.

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

tcent@3John:1:6 @ and they have testified to your love before the church. You will do well to send them on their way in a manner worthy of God.

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:1:11 @ 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@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:1:2 @ may mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you.

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:1:5 @ 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:1:11 @ Woe to them! For they have gone the way of Cain, and for the sake of gain they have rushed headlong into the Balaam's error, and perished in Korah's rebellion.

tcent@Jude:1:13 @ wild waves of the sea, casting up their own shame like foam; wandering stars, for whom the blackest darkness has been reserved forever.

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:1:17 @ But you must remember, beloved, the predictions of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;

tcent@Jude:1:18 @ they said to you, »In the last time there will be scoffers, following their own ungodly lusts.«

tcent@Jude:1:20 @ But you, beloved, build yourselves up on your most holy faith; pray in the Holy Spirit;

tcent@Jude:1:24 @ Now to him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you without blemish before the presence of his glory with great joy,

tcent@Jude:1:25 @ to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen.

tcent@Revelation:1:4 @ John, to the seven churches which are in Asia: grace to you and peace from him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven spirits who are before his throne,

tcent@Revelation:1:6 @ and has made us a kingdom and priests to his God and Father, to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

tcent@Revelation:1:9 @ I, John, your brother and companion in the tribulation and kingdom and patient endurance that are ours in Jesus, was on the island called Patmos because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus.

tcent@Revelation:1:10 @ I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s Day, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet,

tcent@Revelation:1:13 @ and in the midst of the lampstands one like a Son of Man, clothed with a robe down to the feet and girded round his chest with a golden band.

tcent@Revelation:1:17 @ And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. But he laid his right hand on me, saying, »Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last,

tcent@Revelation:1:18 @ and the Living One; I was dead, and behold, I am alive for evermore! And I have the keys of death and Hades.

tcent@Revelation:2:2 @ I know your works, your toil and your patient endurance. I know that you cannot bear evil men, but you have tested those who call themselves apostles and are not, and have found them to be false;

tcent@Revelation:2:5 @ Remember then from where you have fallen, repent and do the works you did at first. If not, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent.

tcent@Revelation:2:10 @ Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and for ten days you will have tribulation. Be faithful even until death, and I will give you the crown of life.

tcent@Revelation:2:11 @ He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes will not be hurt at all by the second death.’

tcent@Revelation:2:14 @ But I have a few things against you: you have some there who hold the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, to eat food sacrificed to idols and to practice sexual immorality.

tcent@Revelation:2:20 @ Nevertheless I have this against you, that you tolerate the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess and is teaching and beguiling my servants to practice sexual immorality and to eat food sacrificed to idols.

tcent@Revelation:2:22 @ So I will cast her on a sickbed, and I will throw those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of her ways.

tcent@Revelation:3:3 @ Remember therefore what you have received and heard; keep it, and repent. But if you will not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come upon you.

tcent@Revelation:3:5 @ He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before my Father and before his angels.

tcent@Revelation:3:8 @ I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word, and have not denied my name.

tcent@Revelation:3:9 @ Behold, I will make those of the synagogue of Satan who say that they are Jews and are not, but lie—look, I will make them come and bow down before your feet, and know that I have loved you.

tcent@Revelation:3:10 @ Because you have kept my command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.

tcent@Revelation:3:16 @ So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spit you out of my mouth.

tcent@Revelation:3:17 @ You say, »I am rich; I have become wealthy, and have need of nothing«—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked,

tcent@Revelation:3:18 @ Therefore I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments to clothe you, and to keep the shame of your nakedness from being seen; and salve to anoint your eyes, that you may see.

tcent@Revelation:3:19 @ Those whom I love, I rebuke and chasten. So be zealous and repent.

tcent@Revelation:3:20 @ Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If any one hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.

tcent@Revelation:4:1 @ After this I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven. And the voice, which I had first heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, »Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.«

tcent@Revelation:4:2 @ At once I was in the Spirit; and behold, a throne was standing in heaven, with one sitting on the throne.

tcent@Revelation:4:5 @ From the throne come flashes of lightning, and voices and peals of thunder. And before the throne were seven lamps of fire, which are the seven spirits of God;

tcent@Revelation:4:6 @ and before the throne there was as it were a sea of glass, like crystal.

tcent@Revelation:4:10 @ the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne and worship him who lives for ever and ever; they cast their crowns before the throne, saying,

tcent@Revelation:5:4 @ And I wept greatly because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or to look into it.

tcent@Revelation:5:5 @ Then one of the elders said to me, »Weep not; behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has conquered, so that he can open the scroll and its seven seals.«

tcent@Revelation:5:6 @ And between the throne and the four living creatures and among the elders, I saw a Lamb standing, as if it had been slain, with seven horns and with seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth.

tcent@Revelation:5:8 @ And when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each one holding a harp and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.

tcent@Revelation:5:11 @ Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne and the living creatures and the elders, numbering myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands,

tcent@Revelation:6:2 @ I looked, and behold, a white horse, and its rider had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer.

tcent@Revelation:6:5 @ When he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, »Come.« And I looked, and behold, a black horse; and its rider had a pair of scales in his hand.

tcent@Revelation:6:8 @ I looked, and behold, a pale horse; and its rider's name was Death, and Hades was following him. And they were given power over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword and with famine and with pestilence and by wild beasts of the earth.

tcent@Revelation:6:9 @ When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained;

tcent@Revelation:6:10 @ they cried out with a loud voice, »O Sovereign Lord, holy and true, how long before you judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?«

tcent@Revelation:6:11 @ Then each of them were given a white robe, and they were told to rest a little longer, until the number of their fellow servants and their brethren should be completed, who were to be killed as they had been.

tcent@Revelation:6:12 @ I looked when he opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth made of hair, and the whole moon became like blood;

tcent@Revelation:7:2 @ Then I saw another angel ascend from the rising of the sun, having the seal of the living God, and he called out with a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm the earth and sea,

tcent@Revelation:7:4 @ And I heard the number of those who were sealed, one hundred and forty-four thousand sealed from every tribe of the sons of Israel:

tcent@Revelation:7:9 @ After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could count, from every nation and all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, and palm branches were in their hands;

tcent@Revelation:7:11 @ And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures; and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshipped God,

tcent@Revelation:7:13 @ Then one of the elders addressed me, saying, »Who are these, clothed in white robes, and where have they come from?«

tcent@Revelation:7:14 @ I said to him, »Sir, you know.« And he said to me, »These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

tcent@Revelation:8:2 @ And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and to them were given seven trumpets.

tcent@Revelation:8:3 @ Another angel, who had a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. And he was given much incense to offer, with the prayers of all the saints, on the golden altar before the throne.

tcent@Revelation:8:4 @ And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, went up before God from the angel's hand.

tcent@Revelation:8:8 @ The second angel sounded his trumpet, and something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea; and a third of the sea became blood,

tcent@Revelation:8:11 @ The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters became Wormwood, and many men died from the waters, because they were made bitter.

tcent@Revelation:8:13 @ Then I looked, and I heard an eagle flying in midheaven, saying with a loud voice, »Woe, woe, woe to those who dwell on the earth, because of the blasts of the other trumpets of the three angels who are about to sound!«

tcent@Revelation:9:12 @ The first woe is past; behold, two woes are still to come.

tcent@Revelation:9:13 @ Then the sixth angel sounded his trumpet, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,

tcent@Revelation:9:15 @ And the four angels, who had been held ready for the hour and day and month and year, were released to kill a third of mankind.

tcent@Revelation:9:16 @ The number of the troops of cavalry was two hundred million; I heard their number.

tcent@Revelation:10:6 @ who created heaven and the things in it, the earth and the things in it, and the sea and the things in it, that there will be no more delay,

tcent@Revelation:10:7 @ but in the days of the trumpet of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, then the mystery of God will be finished, as he announced to his servants the prophets.

tcent@Revelation:10:9 @ So I went to the angel, telling him to give me the little scroll. And he said to me, »Take it and eat it; it will make your stomach bitter, but in your mouth it will be sweet as honey.«

tcent@Revelation:11:2 @ But leave out the court outside the temple and do not measure it, for it has been given over to the nations; and they will trample over the holy city for forty-two months.

tcent@Revelation:11:4 @ These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth.

tcent@Revelation:11:5 @ And if anyone wants to harm them, fire flows out from their mouth and devours their enemies; so if anyone wants to harm them, he must be killed in this way.

tcent@Revelation:11:7 @ When they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up from the abyss will make war with them, and overcome them and kill them.

tcent@Revelation:11:9 @ For three days and a half men from the peoples and tribes and tongues and nations will gaze at their dead bodies and refuse to let them be placed in a tomb.

tcent@Revelation:11:10 @ And those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them and celebrate; and they will send gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth.

tcent@Revelation:11:14 @ The second woe has passed; behold, the third woe is coming soon.

tcent@Revelation:11:16 @ And the twenty-four elders, who sit on their thrones before God, fell on their faces and worshipped God,

tcent@Revelation:12:3 @ Then another sign appeared in heaven: and behold, a great red dragon with seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads were seven diadems.

tcent@Revelation:12:4 @ And his tail swept away a third of the stars of heaven, and threw them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that he might devour her child when it was born.

tcent@Revelation:12:6 @ And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, in which to be nourished for one thousand two hundred and sixty days.

tcent@Revelation:12:13 @ And when the dragon saw that he had been thrown down to the earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to the male child.

tcent@Revelation:12:14 @ But the woman was given the two wings of the great eagle, so that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is to be nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent.

tcent@Revelation:13:1 @ And the dragon stood on the shore of the sea. And I saw a beast coming out of the sea. He had ten horns and seven heads, with ten diadems on his horns, and on his heads were blasphemous names.

tcent@Revelation:13:2 @ The beast that I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were like those of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. And the dragon gave him his power and his throne and great authority.

tcent@Revelation:13:3 @ One of its heads seemed to have a fatal wound, but its fatal wound was healed, and the whole earth followed the beast with wonder.

tcent@Revelation:13:4 @ Men worshipped the dragon, because he had given his authority to the beast, and they worshipped the beast, saying, »Who is like the beast, and who can make war against him?«

tcent@Revelation:13:5 @ And the beast was given a mouth speaking arrogant words and blasphemies, and it was allowed to exercise authority for forty-two months.

tcent@Revelation:13:7 @ Also it was given power to make war on the saints and to conquer them. And authority was given it over every tribe and people and tongue and nation,

tcent@Revelation:13:8 @ and all who dwell on earth will worship it, every one whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb that was slain.

tcent@Revelation:13:11 @ Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb and he spoke like a dragon.

tcent@Revelation:13:12 @ He exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence, and makes the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose fatal wound was healed.

tcent@Revelation:13:14 @ And he deceives those who dwell on the earth because of the signs which he was given power to do in the presence of the beast. He ordered them to make an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived.

tcent@Revelation:13:15 @ And it was given to him to give breath to the image of the beast so that the image of the beast should even speak, and to cause those who would not worship the image of the beast to be killed.

tcent@Revelation:13:16 @ And he causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to be given a mark on their right hand or the forehead,

tcent@Revelation:13:17 @ so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name.

tcent@Revelation:13:18 @ This calls for wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man; its number is six hundred and sixty-six.

tcent@Revelation:14:1 @ Then I looked, and behold, the Lamb was standing on Mount Zion, and with him a hundred and forty-four thousand who had his name and his Father's name written on their foreheads.

tcent@Revelation:14:3 @ And they sang a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and before the elders. No one could learn the song except the hundred and forty-four thousand who had been redeemed from the earth.

tcent@Revelation:14:4 @ These are the ones who have not been defiled with women, for they have kept themselves chaste. These are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. They have been purchased from among men as first fruits to God and to the Lamb.

tcent@Revelation:14:6 @ Then I saw another angel flying in midheaven, having an eternal gospel to proclaim to those who live on the earth, and to every nation and tribe and tongue and people;

tcent@Revelation:14:7 @ and he said with a loud voice, »Fear God, and give him glory, because the hour of his judgment has come; worship him who made the heaven and the earth and sea and springs of water.«

tcent@Revelation:14:9 @ And another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a loud voice, »If any one worships the beast and its image, and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand,

tcent@Revelation:14:10 @ he also will drink of the wine of God’s wrath, which is poured in full strength into the cup of his anger, and he will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb.

tcent@Revelation:14:11 @ And the smoke of their torment goes up for ever and ever; they have no rest day and night, those who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.«

tcent@Revelation:14:14 @ Then I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and seated on the cloud was one like a son of man, with a golden crown on his head, and a sharp sickle in his hand.

tcent@Revelation:14:15 @ And another angel came out of the temple, crying out with a loud voice to him who sat on the cloud, »Put in your sickle and reap, for the hour to reap has come, because the harvest of the earth is ripe.«
