Romans:9:25 @ As indeed he says in Hosea:
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:9:28 @ For the Lord will carry out his sentence on the earth with speed and finality.«
tcent@Romans:9:30 @ What shall we say, then? That Gentiles who did not pursue righteousness have attained it, that is, righteousness through faith;
tcent@Romans:9:31 @ but Israel, who pursued the law of righteousness, has not attained that law.
tcent@Romans:9:32 @ Why? Because they did not pursue it by faith, but as if it were by works. They have stumbled over the stumbling stone,
tcent@Romans:10:2 @ For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but it is not according to knowledge.
tcent@Romans:10:3 @ For, being ignorant of the righteousness that comes from God, and seeking to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness.
tcent@Romans:10:5 @ For Moses writes about the righteousness which is of the law, »The man who does those things shall live by them.«
tcent@Romans:10:6 @ But the righteousness based on faith says, »Do not say in your heart, Who will ascend into heaven?« (that is, to bring Christ down)
tcent@Romans:10:7 @ or »Who will descend into the abyss?« (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).
tcent@Romans:10:9 @ 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:10:11 @ The scripture says, »No one who believes in him will be put to shame.«
tcent@Romans:10:12 @ For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; the same Lord is Lord of all and bestows his riches on all who call upon him.
tcent@Romans:10:14 @ How then can they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how can they believe in him of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without a preacher?
tcent@Romans:10:17 @ So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.
tcent@Romans:10:18 @ But I ask, have they not heard? Indeed they have; for
tcent@Romans:10:19 @ Again I ask, did Israel not understand? First Moses says,
tcent@Romans:11:1 @ I ask, then, has God rejected his people? Certainly not! I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, a member of the tribe of Benjamin.
tcent@Romans:11:2 @ God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew. Do you not know what the scripture says of Elijah, how he pleads with God against Israel?
tcent@Romans:11:7 @ What then? Israel did not obtain what it sought. The elect obtained it, but the rest were hardened,
tcent@Romans:11:11 @ So I ask, have they stumbled so as to fall? Certainly not! But through their trespass salvation has come to the Gentiles, to make Israel jealous.
tcent@Romans:11:13 @ Now I am speaking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry
tcent@Romans:11:14 @ in the hope that I may somehow arouse to jealousy the kinsmen of my flesh and save some of them.
tcent@Romans:11:17 @ And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among the rest to share the root of the olive tree,
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:11:31 @ so they have now been disobedient in order that by the mercy shown to you they also may receive mercy.
tcent@Romans:11:33 @ Oh, the depth of the riches and of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and his ways past finding out!
tcent@Romans:11:36 @ For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen.
tcent@Romans:12:1 @ I appeal to you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.
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:12:6 @ Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith;
tcent@Romans:12:7 @ if service, let us use it in our serving; he who teaches, in his teaching;
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:12:13 @ Contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality.
tcent@Romans:12:16 @ Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but associate with the lowly. Do not be conceited.
tcent@Romans:12:17 @ Repay no one evil for evil, but have regard for what is noble in the sight of all.
tcent@Romans:12:19 @ Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God; for it is written, »Vengeance is mine, I will repay,« says the Lord.
tcent@Romans:12:20 @ No, »if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him drink; for in so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.«
tcent@Romans:13:1 @ Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist have been instituted by God.
tcent@Romans:13:2 @ Therefore he who resists the authority resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves.
tcent@Romans:13:3 @ For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to have no fear of him who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will have praise from him.
tcent@Romans:13:4 @ For he is God's servant to you for good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain; he is Gods servant, an avenger to execute wrath on the wrongdoer.
tcent@Romans:13:6 @ For the same reason you also pay taxes, for the authorities are God's ministers, attending to this very thing.
tcent@Romans:13:8 @ Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.
tcent@Romans:13:9 @ The commandments, »You shall not commit adultery,« »You shall not murder,« »You shall not steal,« »You shall not covet,« and any other commandment there may be, are summed up in this sentence, »You shall love your neighbor as yourself.«
tcent@Romans:13:11 @ And do this, knowing the hour, that now it is full time for you to wake from sleep. For now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed.
tcent@Romans:13:13 @ Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in reveling and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not in quarreling and jealousy.
tcent@Romans:14:1 @ As for the man who is weak in faith, accept him, but not for disputes over opinions.
tcent@Romans:14:2 @ One believes he may eat anything, but the man whose faith is weak eats only vegetables.
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:14:6 @ He who observes the day, observes it to the Lord. He who eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he who abstains, does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God.
tcent@Romans:14:9 @ For to this end Christ died and lived again, that he might be Lord both of the dead and of the living.
tcent@Romans:14:13 @ Therefore let us not pass judgment on one another anymore, but rather decide never to put a stumbling block or hindrance in our brothers way.
tcent@Romans:14:14 @ I know and am convinced in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself; but if anyone regards something as unclean, then for him it is unclean.
tcent@Romans:14:15 @ If your brother is distressed because of what you eat, you are no longer walking in love. Do not by your eating destroy the one for whom Christ died.
tcent@Romans:14:17 @ For the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit;
tcent@Romans:14:18 @ he who serves Christ in this way is acceptable to God and approved by men.
tcent@Romans:14:20 @ Do not, for the sake of food, destroy the work of God. Everything is indeed clean, but it is wrong for a man to eat anything that causes someone else to stumble.
tcent@Romans:14:21 @ It is right not to eat meat or drink wine or do anything that makes your brother stumble.
tcent@Romans:14:23 @ 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:15:4 @ For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through perseverance and the encouragement of the scriptures we might have hope.
tcent@Romans:15:5 @ May the God of patience and encouragement grant you to live in harmony with one another, according to Christ Jesus,
tcent@Romans:15:6 @ that you may with one mind and one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
tcent@Romans:15:9 @ and in order that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written:
tcent@Romans:15:10 @ and again it says:
tcent@Romans:15:11 @ and again,
tcent@Romans:15:12 @ And again, Isaiah says:
tcent@Romans:15:13 @ May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.
tcent@Romans:15:14 @ I myself am satisfied about you, my brethren, that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, and able to instruct one another.
tcent@Romans:15:15 @ But I have written very boldly to you on some points, so as to remind you again, because of the grace that was given me from God,
tcent@Romans:15:16 @ to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles in the priestly service of the gospel of God, so that the offering of the Gentiles might be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
tcent@Romans:15:17 @ Therefore I have reason to glory in Christ Jesus in my service to God.
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:15:22 @ This is the reason why I have often been hindered from coming to you.
tcent@Romans:15:23 @ But now, since I no longer have any place for work in these regions, and since I have longed for many years to come to you,
tcent@Romans:15:24 @ 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:15:25 @ Now, however, I am going to Jerusalem with aid for the saints.
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:15:28 @ When therefore I have completed this, and have delivered to them this fruit, I shall go on by way of you to Spain.
tcent@Romans:15:29 @ And I know that when I come to you, I shall come in the fullness of the blessing of Christ.
tcent@Romans:15:30 @ Now I urge you, brethren, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to strive together with me in your prayers to God for me,
tcent@Romans: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: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:16:3 @ Greet Priscilla and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus,
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:16:11 @ Greet Herodion, my kinsman. Greet those in the household of Narcissus who are in the Lord.
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:16:13 @ Greet Rufus, chosen in the Lord, and his mother and mine.
tcent@Romans:16:15 @ Greet Philologus and Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints who are with them.
tcent@Romans:16:17 @ I urge you, brethren, to take note of those who cause divisions and difficulties, contrary to the doctrine which you have learned; avoid them.
tcent@Romans:16:18 @ For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth and flattering words they deceive the hearts of the simple.
tcent@Romans:16:19 @ For your obedience has become known to all, so I am full of joy over you; but I want you to be wise about what is good, and innocent about what is evil.
tcent@Romans:16:21 @ Timothy, my fellow worker, greets you, as do Lucius, and Jason, and Sosipater, my kinsmen.
tcent@Romans:16:22 @ I, Tertius, who wrote this letter, greet you in the Lord.
tcent@Romans:16:25 @ Now to him who is able to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which was kept secret for long ages
tcent@Romans:16:26 @ but is now revealed and made known to all nations through the prophetic writings, according to the command of the eternal God, to bring about the obedience of faith
tcent@1Corinthians:1:1 @ 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:1:3 @ grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
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:1:5 @ that in every way you were enriched in him in all speech and all knowledge
tcent@1Corinthians:1:6 @ even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you,
tcent@1Corinthians:1:7 @ so that you are not lacking in any spiritual gift, as you eagerly wait for the revealing of our Lord Jesus Christ;
tcent@1Corinthians:1:8 @ who will also confirm you to the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
tcent@1Corinthians:1:9 @ God is faithful, by whom you were called into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
tcent@1Corinthians:1:10 @ I appeal to you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and in the same judgment.
tcent@1Corinthians:1:11 @ For I have been informed by Chloe's people, that there are quarrels among you, my brethren.
tcent@1Corinthians:1:12 @ What I mean is this, that each one of you says, »I am of Paul,« and »I of Apollos,« and »I of Cephas,« and »I of Christ.«
tcent@1Corinthians:1:13 @ Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?
tcent@1Corinthians:1:14 @ I am thankful that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius,
tcent@1Corinthians:1:15 @ so that no one would say you were baptized in my name.
tcent@1Corinthians:1:16 @ (Now I did baptize also the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I do not know whether I baptized any one else.)
tcent@1Corinthians:1:17 @ For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospelnot 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:1:19 @ For it is written,
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:1:22 @ Jews demand signs and Greeks look for wisdom,
tcent@1Corinthians:1:23 @ but we preach Christ crucified, to Jews a stumbling block and to Gentiles foolishness,
tcent@1Corinthians:1:24 @ but to those who are the called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.
tcent@1Corinthians:1:25 @ For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
tcent@1Corinthians:1:26 @ For consider your call, brethren; not many of you were wise according to fleshly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth.
tcent@1Corinthians:1:27 @ But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise, God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong,
tcent@1Corinthians:1:28 @ God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things, and the things that are not, to nullify the things that are,
tcent@1Corinthians:1:29 @ so that no flesh may boast before God.
tcent@1Corinthians:1:30 @ It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption,
tcent@1Corinthians:1:31 @ therefore, as it is written, »Let him who boasts, boast in the Lord.«
tcent@1Corinthians:2:1 @ When I came to you, brethren, I did not come with superiority of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God.
tcent@1Corinthians:2:2 @ For I resolved to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
tcent@1Corinthians:2:3 @ I was with you in weakness and in fear and in much trembling,
tcent@1Corinthians:2:4 @ and my message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,
tcent@1Corinthians:2:5 @ so that your faith might not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God.
tcent@1Corinthians:2:6 @ Yet we do speak a wisdom among the mature, a wisdom, however, not of this age nor of the rulers of this age, who are passing away.
tcent@1Corinthians:2:7 @ But we speak of God's secret wisdom, a wisdom that has been hidden and which God destined for our glory before the ages.
tcent@1Corinthians:2:8 @ None of the rulers of this age understood it; for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
tcent@1Corinthians:2:9 @ But, as it is written,
tcent@1Corinthians:2:10 @ God has revealed them to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God.
tcent@1Corinthians:2:11 @ For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the man's spirit which is in him? Even so no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.
tcent@1Corinthians:2:12 @ Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we may understand the things freely given to us by God.
tcent@1Corinthians:2:13 @ This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words.
tcent@1Corinthians:2:14 @ But the natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.
tcent@1Corinthians:2:15 @ But the spiritual man judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one.
tcent@1Corinthians:2:16 @ But we have the mind of Christ.
tcent@1Corinthians:3:1 @ But I, brethren, could not address you as spiritual men, but as carnal men, as infants in Christ.
tcent@1Corinthians:3:2 @ I gave you milk, not solid food; for you were not yet ready for it. Indeed, even now you are not ready,
tcent@1Corinthians:3:3 @ for you are still carnal. For since there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not carnal, and are you not walking like mere men?
tcent@1Corinthians:3:4 @ For when one says, »I am of Paul,« and another, »I am of Apollos,« are you not mere men?
tcent@1Corinthians:3:5 @ What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, even as the Lord assigned to each one.
tcent@1Corinthians:3:6 @ I planted, Apollos watered, but God was causing the growth.
tcent@1Corinthians:3:7 @ So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth.
tcent@1Corinthians:3:8 @ Now he who plants and he who waters are one, and each will receive his own reward according to his own labor.
tcent@1Corinthians:3:9 @ For we are God's fellow workers; you are Gods field, Gods building.
tcent@1Corinthians:3:10 @ According to the grace of God which was given to me, like a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another is building on it. But each man must be careful how he builds on it.
tcent@1Corinthians:3:11 @ For no other foundation can any one lay than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
tcent@1Corinthians:3:12 @ Now if any man builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw,
tcent@1Corinthians:3:13 @ 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 mans work.
tcent@1Corinthians:3:14 @ If any man's work which he has built on it survives, he will receive a reward.
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:3:16 @ Do you not know that you are God's temple and that Gods Spirit dwells in you?
tcent@1Corinthians:3:17 @ If any one destroys God's temple, God will destroy him. For Gods temple is holy, and that temple you are.
tcent@1Corinthians:3:18 @ Let no one deceive himself. If any one among you thinks that he is wise in this age, he must become a fool so that he may become wise.
tcent@1Corinthians:3:19 @ For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written,
tcent@1Corinthians:3:20 @ and again,
tcent@1Corinthians:3:21 @ So then let no one boast of men. For all things are yours,
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:4:1 @ This is how one should regard us, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of 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:4:4 @ I am not aware of anything against myself, but I am not acquitted by this. It is the Lord who judges me.
tcent@1Corinthians:4:5 @ Therefore do not go on passing judgment before the time, but wait until the Lord comes who will both bring to light the things hidden in the darkness and disclose the motives of men's hearts. Then every man will receive his praise from God.
tcent@1Corinthians:4:6 @ Now these things, brethren, I have figuratively applied to myself and Apollos for your benefit, so that in us you may learn not to go beyond what is written, so that no one of you will become arrogant in favor of one against the other.
tcent@1Corinthians:4:7 @ For who regards you as different? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you did receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it?
tcent@1Corinthians:4:8 @ 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:4:10 @ We are fools for Christ's sake, but you are wise in Christ; we are weak, but you are strong; you are distinguished, but we are without honor.
tcent@1Corinthians:4:11 @ To this present hour we are both hungry and thirsty, and we are poorly clothed, and roughly treated, and homeless;
tcent@1Corinthians:4:12 @ and we toil, working with our own hands. When we are reviled, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure;
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:4:19 @ But I will come to you soon, if the Lord wills, and I will find out, not the words of these arrogant people, but their power.
tcent@1Corinthians:4:20 @ For the kingdom of God does not consist in talk but in power.
tcent@1Corinthians:4:21 @ What do you desire? Shall I come to you with a rod, or with love and a spirit of gentleness?
tcent@1Corinthians:5:1 @ It is actually reported that there is immorality among you, and of a kind that does not occur even among pagans: a man has his father's wife.
tcent@1Corinthians:5:2 @ And you are arrogant! Ought you not rather to have mourned? Let the one who has done this be removed from your midst.
tcent@1Corinthians:5:3 @ For though I am absent in body, I am present in spirit, and have already passed judgment on the one who has committed this, as if I were present.
tcent@1Corinthians:5:4 @ In the name of our Lord Jesus, when you are assembled, and I with you in spirit, and the power of our Lord Jesus is present,
tcent@1Corinthians:5:5 @ you are to deliver this man to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
tcent@1Corinthians:5:6 @ Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump of dough?
tcent@1Corinthians:5:7 @ Cleanse out the old leaven that you may be a new lump, as you really are unleavened. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.
tcent@1Corinthians:5:8 @ Let us, therefore, celebrate the festival, not with the old leaven, the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
tcent@1Corinthians:5:9 @ I wrote you in my letter not to associate with immoral people;
tcent@1Corinthians:5:10 @ not at all meaning the immoral people of this world, or with the greedy and swindlers, or with idolaters, for then you would have to go out of the world.
tcent@1Corinthians:5:11 @ But actually, I wrote to you not to associate with any one who bears the name of brother if he is an immoral person, or greedy, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindlernot even to eat with such a one.
tcent@1Corinthians:5:12 @ For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Is it not those inside the church whom you are to judge?
tcent@1Corinthians:5:13 @ God judges those outside. »Expel the wicked man from among you.«
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:6:3 @ Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more matters of this life!
tcent@1Corinthians:6:4 @ So if you have disputes about such matters, do you appoint them as judges who are of no account in the church?
tcent@1Corinthians:6:5 @ I say this to your shame. Can it be that there is no man among you wise enough to decide between his brethren,
tcent@1Corinthians:6:6 @ but brother goes to law against brother, and that before unbelievers?
tcent@1Corinthians:6:7 @ Actually, then, it is already a defeat for you, that you have lawsuits with one another. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be defrauded?
tcent@1Corinthians:6:8 @ Instead, you yourselves defraud and do wrong, and you even do this to your brethren.
tcent@1Corinthians:6:9 @ Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither the immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor sexual perverts,
tcent@1Corinthians:6:10 @ nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
tcent@1Corinthians:6:11 @ And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.
tcent@1Corinthians:6:12 @ »All things are lawful for me,« but not all things are helpful. »All things are lawful for me,« but I will not be mastered by anything.
tcent@1Corinthians:6:13 @ »Food is for the stomach and the stomach for food«but God will destroy them both. The body is not meant for immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.
tcent@1Corinthians:6:14 @ By his power God raised the Lord, and he will also raise us up.
tcent@1Corinthians:6:15 @ Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never!
tcent@1Corinthians:6:16 @ Or do you not know that he who joins himself to a prostitute becomes one body with her? For, as it is written, »The two shall become one flesh.«
tcent@1Corinthians:6:17 @ But he who unites himself with the Lord is one spirit with him.
tcent@1Corinthians:6:18 @ Flee immorality. Every other sin that a man commits is outside the body, but the immoral man sins against his own body.
tcent@1Corinthians:6:19 @ Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;
tcent@1Corinthians:6:20 @ you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body.
tcent@1Corinthians:7:1 @ Now concerning the matters about which you wrote, it is good for a man not to touch a woman.
tcent@1Corinthians:7:2 @ But because of immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman her own husband.
tcent@1Corinthians:7:3 @ The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband.
tcent@1Corinthians:7:4 @ The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does; and likewise also the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does.
tcent@1Corinthians:7:5 @ Do not deprive one another, except by agreement for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer, and then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.
tcent@1Corinthians:7:6 @ I say this by way of concession, not of command.
tcent@1Corinthians:7:7 @ I wish that all men were as I myself am. But each man has his own gift from God, one in this manner and another in that.
tcent@1Corinthians:7:8 @ But I say to the unmarried and to the widows that it is good for them if they remain even as I.
tcent@1Corinthians:7:9 @ But if they cannot exercise self-control, they should marry; for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.
tcent@1Corinthians:7:10 @ To the married I give charge, not I but the Lord, that the wife should not separate from her husband
tcent@1Corinthians:7:11 @ (but if she does leave, she must remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband), and that the husband should not divorce his wife.
tcent@1Corinthians:7:12 @ But to the rest I say, not the Lord, that if any brother has a wife who is an unbeliever, and she consents to live with him, he must not divorce her.
tcent@1Corinthians:7:13 @ If any woman has a husband who is an unbeliever, and he consents to live with her, she must not divorce him.
tcent@1Corinthians:7:14 @ 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.
